Event-Type Identification in Power Grids Using a Spectral Correlation Function-Aided Convolutional Neural Network by Ozgur Alaca, Ali Riza Ekti, Jhi-Young Joo, Nils Stenvig

“…The SCF-based FE method captures distinctive event-type characteristics by exploiting the spectral correlation of signals, allowing the CNN architecture to effectively learn and generalize event patterns. The proposed method is benchmarked against seven conventional techniques, using real-world power grid signals representing four distinct event types: blown fuse, line switching, low amplitude arcing, and transformer energization. …”

Scurvy as a Cause of Leg Pain and Limp in Pediatric and Adolescent Patients by Christopher J. DeFrancesco, MD, David Kell, BA, Sean Owens, BS, Matt Grady, MD, Naomi Brown, MD

“…Key Concepts: (1) Scurvy, the condition caused by vitamin C deficiency, is not a historical disease, with research suggesting that its incidence in the US is on the rise. (2) Scurvy can result in lower extremity pain and limping among children, who may present for orthopaedic evaluation. (3) An increased index of suspicion for vitamin C deficiency should be maintained for any child with a history of restrictive eating, especially those with a history of autism spectrum disorder. (4) Orthopaedic providers should know the specific MRI and x-ray findings characteristic of vitamin C deficiency. (5) Vitamin C levels can be repleted in weeks with proper supplementation, but children with scurvy due to restrictive eating generally require continued intervention from nutrition and/or feeding specialists.…”

An “initial-engineering-end use” quasi-market pricing mechanism under cascading risk for cross-regional water rights trading by Xuxia Li, Huimin Wang, Gang Liu, Liu Yang, Zhou Fang, Yi Xiao, Xiaoying Lai, Li Gao, Ying Teng

“…Empirical results and practical applications reveal several key findings. (1) A comparative analysis of national governance across different countries indicates that the quasi-market pricing mechanism effectively determines end use water prices in China. (2) Initial corporate and government investments mitigate trading risks and enhance stability. (3) Overlooking ecosystem service value leads to the undervaluation of initial and end use water prices. (4) Practical applications of the proposed mechanism in Inner Mongolia, China, and the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, demonstrate that end use water prices are generally higher in water-scarce regions. Overall, this study provides a practical and adaptable approach for pricing cross-regional water rights trading, applicable to both water-rich and water-scarce regions globally.…”
