HighDimMixedModels.jl: Robust high-dimensional mixed-effects models across omics data. by Evan Gorstein, Rosa Aghdam, Claudia Solís-Lemus

“…Our simulations provide new insights into the algorithm's behavior in these settings, and, comparing the performance of two popular penalties, we demonstrate that the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) penalty consistently outperforms the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty in terms of both variable selection and estimation accuracy across omics data. To empower researchers in biology and other fields to fit models with the SCAD penalty, we implement the algorithm in a Julia package, HighDimMixedModels.jl.…”

Wave Drift Force and Moment in Deep and Shallow Water by Heinrich Söding

“…To attain a low Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), large ships possibly lack the necessary propulsion power to avoid stranding in case of strong adverse wind and wave conditions. To estimate this danger, here, the longitudinal and transverse drift force and the yaw drift moment caused by regular waves of arbitrary frequency and direction are computed using a 3-dimensional Rankine panel method. …”

An Improved Multibranch Convolutional Neural Network with a Compensator for Crowd Counting by Zhiyun Zheng, Zhenhao Sun, Guanglei Zhu, Zhenfei Wang, Junfeng Wang

“…To avoid learning nearly the same features in each branch and reducing the training deviation, the dataset is labeled with head scale, and the adaptive grading loss function is used to calculate the estimated loss of the subregions. The experimental results show that the accuracy of the network proposed in this paper is about 10% higher than that of the comparison network.…”

Crack propagation in a brittle DCB specimen assessed by means of the Williams� power expansion by Lucie Malkov�, Seyed Mohammad Javad Razavi, Filippo Berto

“…A double cantilever beam geometry has been chosen in order to investigate the importance of the higher-order terms of the Williams power expansion for the crack path estimation. The crack propagation has been tested experimentally on a brittle polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) specimen and although the mode I loading conditions were applied, the crack kinked from its original plane immediately and propagated towards the bottom side of the specimen. …”
