Sample Size and Statistical Power Calculation in Genetic Association Studies by Eun Pyo Hong, Ji Wan Park

“…We found that a much lower sample size was required with a strong effect size, common SNP, and increased LD. In addition, studying a common disease in a case-control study of a 1:4 case-control ratio is one way to achieve higher statistical power. …”

Remedies from nature: exploring the moderating mechanisms of natural landscape features on emotions and perceived restoration in urban parks by Yihe Li, Wenbo Li, Yang Liu

“…Although Pavement showed a significant negative impact on Perceived Restoration (β = −0.155, p = 0.004), their effect on emotions was not significant (β = 0.111, p = 0.115). Additionally, the study demonstrated that certain natural landscape features, such as the sky and trees, had a significant moderating effect in alleviating the negative emotions caused by artificial landscape features. …”

Fault Detection in Induction Machines Using Learning Models and Fourier Spectrum Image Analysis by Kevin Barrera-Llanga, Jordi Burriel-Valencia, Angel Sapena-Bano, Javier Martinez-Roman

“…This analysis introduces a new approach by demonstrating how different convolutional blocks capture particular features: the first convolutional block captures signal shape, while the second identifies background features. Additionally, distinct convolutional layers were associated with each fault type: layer 9 for RAF, layer 13 for BRB, layer 16 for RBF, and layer 14 for BBF. …”

High vulnerability of the endemic Southern Ocean snail Neobuccinum eatoni (Buccinidae) to critical projected oceanographic changes by Rosvita González, Luis R. Pertierra, Pablo C. Guerrero, Angie Díaz

“…Employing Species Distribution Models (SDMs) on spatially cross-validated occurrences, we achieved high predictive accuracy, identifying "sea water salinity range" at mean bottom depth as the most significant predictor of habitat preferences. Additionally, dissolved iron (minimum), ocean temperature (range), and pH (long-term maximum) emerged as critical factors influencing the species’ modeled distribution. …”

Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescription Generation Model Based on Search Enhancement by ZHAO Zijuan, REN Xueting, SONG Kai, QIANG Yan, ZHAO Juanjuan, ZHANG Junlong

“…[Findings] The validity of the model is verified by automatic evaluation and manual evaluation on the real medical case dataset. In addition, the proposed model can recommend herbs that do not appear on the prescription label but are useful for relieving symptoms, which shows that the model can learn some interactions between herbs and symptoms. …”

Study and application on the size effect and end effect of red sandstone mechanical properties by Feng Chen, Jinyang Du, Yanhong Du, Ruxuan Li, Chun’an Tang, Yishan Pan, Gen Li

“…By measuring stress–strain curves, uniaxial compressive strength, and other physical and mechanical parameters, the effects of size effect on rock strength and failure modes were analyzed. Additionally, the paper discusses the influence of different-sized specimens on the rock burst tendency, introducing a parameter K to evaluate this tendency. …”

Distributed public service broadcasting as an alternative model for public service broadcasting in South Africa by Pieter Jacobus Fourie

“…Detail about the model is the topic of additional research that has yet to be done. Finally, the article should be read against the background of what were, at the time of writing in 2010, a number of serious governmental threats to freedom of expression with government proposing, inter alia, the introduction of a controversial Bill on the Protection of Information and also of a Media Appeals Tribunal – both of these constituting further threats to the autonomy of the public broadcaster and which makes it even more urgent that a new broadcasting model be considered. …”
