Parental BPA exposure disrupts offspring transcriptomic profiles and impairs embryonic lineage specification during zygotic genome activation by Yuequn Chen, Kusheng Wu, Wenlong Huang

“…Digital cell type deconvolution revealed altered cell composition, including deeper multilayer and enveloping layer cells and fewer margin cells. Furthermore, reductions in neural progenitor and heart primordium lineages, alongside expansions in primordial germ and mesendodermal lineages, potentially contribute to later-stage developmental abnormalities. …”

Multi-Modal Federated Learning Over Cell-Free Massive MIMO Systems for Activity Recognition by Seyed Mohammad Sheikholeslami, Pai Chet Ng, Jamshid Abouei, Konstantinos N. Plataniotis

“…Additionally, we employ a modified Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for efficient resource allocation. Extensive experiments validate our framework, demonstrating substantial reductions in training time and significant improvements in model performance, particularly an average improvement of 15% and 23% in test accuracy compared to the other fusion models when missing one and two modalities in the inference phase.…”

Integration of the Adaptive Approach in HVAC System Operation: A Case Study by Pablo Aparicio-Ruiz, J. C. Ragel-Bonilla, Elena Barbadilla-Martín, José Guadix

“…Therefore, this paper investigates how the application of a setpoint based on adaptive comfort control (ACC) would affect occupants’ comfort considering mixed mode operation and based on the results of a longitudinal field study in an academic office building of a tertiary educational institution in southern Spain. The manuscript analyses the Thermal Preference Vote over 12 months in a mixed mode room with an HVAC system whose setpoint is adjusted with a previously calculated adaptive algorithm for the building. …”

On assessing the efficiency of executive authorities in achieving the national development goals by N. E. Buletova, T. A. Zolotko

“…Taking into account the example of calculating KPI, an algorithm for its implementation is proposed, the positive and negative consequences of this system in executive authorities are justified.Scientific novelty: the article for the first time gives an assessment of the prospects for implementing KPI for state and municipal employees with a detailed justification of both advantages and risks of implementing such a system, taking into account the impact of national projects’ goals and objectives on the content and working conditions of executive authorities involved in their implementation.Practical significance: the findings and results of the study can be used in the educational process when studying the use of KPI to improve the efficiency of state and municipal employees at the level of individual governance bodies; the article is also of interest for implementation or development of the KPI system at regional and municipal levels of executive authorities.…”
