Internet of things-driven approach integrated with explainable machine learning models for ship fuel consumption prediction by Van Nhanh Nguyen, Nghia Chung, G.N. Balaji, Krzysztof Rudzki, Anh Tuan Hoang

“…The International Maritime Organization has proposed several operational policies and measures to lower ships' specific fuel consumption (SFC) and associated emissions toward the sustainability of maritime activities, showing the need for creating exact predictive models based on actual operational conditions. Modern combined and integrated techniques between highly precise sensors, the Internet of Things (IoT), and advanced machine learning (ML) can help in accurate real-time data collection and robust prediction model building. …”

Hybrid Method of Modal Analysis and Laser Shock Scanning to Visualize the Pyroshock Propagation in a Tension Joint by Yong-Woon Kim, Jae-Kyeong Jang, Jung-Ryul Lee, Hak-Seong Gim

“…For the proof of concept of the proposed method, we performed experiments of explosive bolt-induced shock and pyrolock-induced shock in the open-box-type tension joint and compared the hybrid simulation results with actual pyroshock. From the results, we obtained the simulated time-domain signal with an averaged peak-to-peak acceleration difference (PAD) of 11.2% and the shock response spectrum (SRS) with an averaged mean acceleration difference (MAD) of 28.5%. …”

Structural brain basis of latent factors of executive functions in childhood by Yongjing Li, Keertana Ganesan, Claire R. Smid, Abigail Thompson, Roser Cañigueral, Jessica Royer, Boris Bernhardt, Nikolaus Steinbeis

“…It is therefore unclear to what extent these associations reflect task-specific features or actual constructs of executive functions. Here, in a sample of 141 children aged 6–13 years, we administered a battery of 9 executive function tasks, derived latent factors of inhibition, working memory, and shifting and examined their associations with markers of brain structure (whole-brain cortical thickness). …”

Expansion of medical school admission quotas in Korea, is it really necessary? by Jeong Hun Park, Jungchan Lee, Kye-Hyun Kim, Yo Han Shin, Seog-Kyun Mun

“…Results The Korean government’s prediction that there will be a shortage of 10,000 doctors in 2035 can be confirmed by the underestimation of the number of working days (265 days). However, if the actual number of working days, 289.5 days, is applied, not only will there be no shortage of doctors in 2035, but there could also be an oversupply of 3,000 doctors. …”
