Stochastic production function-based assessment of the performance of climate risk management in agriculture: Methods and applications by WANG Yangjie, MAO Xiaoyan, WANG Jinxian, QIANG Hongjie

“…Improving the proportion of effectively irrigated area, boosting the amount of fertilizer input per unit area, and increasing the electricity consumption for agriculture per unit area, will expand the production risks while increasing crop yield. (3) The impact of conventional inputs on crop production varied with climate conditions, indirectly reflecting that under different climate conditions, various conventional resource management approaches have varying abilities to mitigate climate risks. [Conclusion] (1) Climate change itself is an important source of risk in agricultural production. …”

Prediction of mortality and prioritisation to tertiary care using the 'OUR-ARCad' risk score gleaned from the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic-A retrospective cohort study from Sou... by Narendran Gopalan, Vinod Kumar Viswanathan, Vignes Anand Srinivasalu, Saranya Arumugam, Adhin Bhaskar, Tamizhselvan Manoharan, Santosh Kishor Chandrasekar, Divya Bujagaruban, Ramya Arumugham, Gopi Jagadeeswaran, Saravanan Madurai Pandian, Arunalatha Ponniah, Thirumaran Senguttuvan, Ponnuraja Chinnaiyan, Baskaran Dhanraj, Vineet Kumar Chadha, Balaji Purushotham, Manoj Vasanth Murhekar

“…<h4>Methods</h4>De-identified data of COVID-19 confirmed patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in South India, between April 1, 2021 and July 31, 2021, corresponding to the peak of COVID-19 second wave, were analysed after segregating into 'survivors' or 'non-survivors' to evaluate the risk factors for COVID-19 mortality at admission and formulate a risk score with easily obtainable but clinically relevant parameters for accurate patient triaging. The predictive ability was ascertained by the area under the receiver operator characteristics (AUROC) and the goodness of fit by the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and validated using the bootstrap method.…”

A novel configuration of reconfigurable bandpass filter based on varactor diodes by Mohamed Guermal, Jamal Zbitou, Mostafa Hefnawi, Fouad Aytouna

“…These diodes allow for fine-tuning of the resonant frequencies by dynamically adjusting the capacitance values, which in turn alters the filter's operational frequency band. The ability to reconfigure the filter's response on demand is highly advantageous, particularly in communication systems that need to operate over multiple frequency bands or adapt to varying conditions. …”
