Indoor Black Carbon Concentrations and their Sources in Residential Environments: Validation of an Input-adaptive Proxy Model by Jiangyue Zhao, Pak Lun Fung, Martha Arbayani Zaidan, Birgit Wehner, Kay Weinhold, Alfred Wiedensohler, Tareq Hussein

“…This proxy model can predict indoor eBC concentrations based on existing indoor databases or in cases where direct measurements of indoor eBC concentrations are not available. Due to the complex influence of climate and indoor activities, the model separated six scenarios for weather (including warm and cold seasons) and indoor activities (burning, non-burning, and other activities) for typical urban residential environments in Germany. …”

Transitioning from wet lab to artificial intelligence: a systematic review of AI predictors in CRISPR by Ahtisham Fazeel Abbasi, Muhammad Nabeel Asim, Andreas Dengel

“…CRISPR-Cas9 based genome editing is a multi-step process such as designing a precise gRNA, selecting the appropriate Cas protein, and thoroughly evaluating both on-target and off-target activity of the Cas9-gRNA complex. To ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of CRISPR-Cas9 system, after the targeted DNA cleavage, the process requires careful analysis of the resultant outcomes such as indels and deletions. …”

Evaluating the Performance of Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticle-Modified Asphalt Binder and Modelling the Viscoelastic Properties by Using Artificial Neural Networks and Support Vector M... by Mustafa Alas, Sani Isah Abba, Shaban Ismael Albrka Ali, Abdur Rahim, Nur Izzi Md. Yusoff

“…On the contrary, Al2O3 5% demonstrated the lowest viscoelastic behavior at intermediate temperatures. The higher complex modulus (G∗) and lower phase angle (δ) parameters indicated that the increase in stiffness due to the modification process was at the cost of losing elastic properties against fatigue cracking. …”

Risque infectieux zoonotique lié à la conservation de primates non humains (PNH) by Barthélemy Ngoubangoye

“…En réunissant ces conditions de contacts répétés entre hôtes de sensibilités différentes, ces sites constituent un modèle pour d'une part mieux comprendre les interactions entre les communautés d'agents infectieux, les communautés d'hôtes et le risque en termes de santé animale et humaine, et d'autre part, pour développer une approche pouvant être transposée à d'autres écosystèmes plus complexes. La principale question de recherche est d'identifier si les soigneurs et les PNH cohabitant dans les sanctuaires et aires de conservations échangent des agents infectieux. …”
