Machine Learning and Medical Data: Predicting ICU Mortality and Re-admission Risks by Runia Roy, Ulya Bayram

“…In this interdisciplinary study, two main contributions are proposed for the automated clinical decision-making state-of-the-art: (1) using the real-life data collected from thousands of ICU patients by healthcare professionals, three possibilities (recovery, mortality, and returning to the intensive care unit within 30 days) are predicted for patients in intensive care instead of just one possibility. (2) A novel feature extraction approach is proposed by the biomedical expert in our team. …”

Atlantic overturning inferred from air-sea heat fluxes indicates no decline since the 1960s by Jens Terhaar, Linus Vogt, Nicholas P. Foukal

“…Here, we use 24 Earth System Models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to demonstrate that these temperature anomalies cannot robustly reconstruct the AMOC. Instead, we find that air-sea heat flux anomalies north of any given latitude in the North Atlantic between 26.5°N and 50°N are tightly linked to the AMOC anomaly at that latitude on decadal and centennial timescales. …”

Discovering Travel Spatiotemporal Pattern Based on Sequential Events Similarity by Juanjuan Chen, Liying Huang, Chengliang Wang, Nijia Zheng

“…While most literature puts the focus on route recommendation of individual scenic spots instead of city travel, we propose a novel approach named City Travel Route Recommendation based on Sequential Events Similarity (CTRR-SES) by applying the coevolving spreading dynamics of the city tour networks and mine the travel spatiotemporal patterns in the networks. …”

Review on Deep Learning and Neural Network Implementation for Emotions Recognition by Renas Rajab Asaad

“…Technology experts have found that we can create empathy through technology as well, which will consequently lead to what is known as “emotional intelligence.” Instead of seeking about digital communication that is losing us to real communication, experts have found that we can employ technology in favor of that type of communication to restore Soul for social and emotional relationships that technology has lost its advantages for many years. …”

Variationally Improved Bézier Surfaces with Shifted Knots by Daud Ahmad, Kanwal Hassan, M. Khalid Mahmood, Javaid Ali, Ilyas Khan, M. Fayz-Al-Asad

“…The Plateau-Bézier problem with shifted knots is to find the surface of minimal area amongst all the Bézier surfaces with shifted knots spanned by the admitted boundary. Instead of variational minimization of usual area functional, the quasi-minimal Bézier surface with shifted knots is obtained as the solution of variational minimization of Dirichlet functional that turns up as the sum of two integrals and the vanishing condition gives us the system of linear algebraic constraints on the control points. …”

Microstructural and Mechanical Characteristics of Pure-Cu/brass Dissimilar Joints Welded by Friction Stir Welding Using Various Process Parameters by Ramesh C, Mohammed Tharwan, P. Manoj Kumar, Dawit Tafesse Gebreyohannes

“…In the grain interior, there were many large dislocations, identifying that incomplete recrystallization took part within the SZ. Instead, the lower rotational speed, i.e., 1000 rpm, led to more uniform grain refinement in the SZ. …”

The Evolution of Digital Building Logbook: Exploring Building Information Gathering Systems to Boost Building Maintenance and Renovation by Martina Signorini, Mario Claudio Dejaco, Sonia Lupica Spagnolo

“…Due to a data exchange system primarily based on paper-based transmission, multiple classification systems, the use of inconsistent criteria and practices, and a significant number of stakeholders involved during the building life cycle (each with distinct requirements and levels of access to information), the entire construction process must deal with ineffective information exchange among actors. Instead of multiple sources of information and tools to collect, store, and share data, one single source of information could become a reference point for numerous stakeholders. …”

Salient Distractors Can Induce Saccade Adaptation by Afsheen Khan, Sally A. McFadden, Mark Harwood, Josh Wallman
