THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VALIDATION MEASUREMENTS IN AUTOMATED SYSTEMS OF THE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS CONTROL IN ACCORDANCE WITH LIMIT VALUES by V. A. Anishchenko, T. V. Pisaruk

“…This reduces the probability of detection of gross and systematic errors of measurements more than it may be accepted. With this regard, the objective of a reasonable narrowing of the range of valid values of the variables, that uses the theory of statistical decisions, acquires high relevance.…”

A Deep Dive into Institutional and Economic Influences on Poverty in Europe by Dorin Jula, Lavinia Mastac, Diane Paula Corina Vancea, Kamer-Ainur Aivaz

“…This study analyzed the evolution of the poverty rate between 2004 and 2023 in 29 European countries, using two categories of variables: institutional variables (Corruption Control Index and Rule of Law Index) and economic variables (unemployment rate, shadow economy, government expenditures on social protection and the Gini index). …”

Cardiac output limits maximal oxygen consumption, but what limits maximal cardiac output? by Ilkka Heinonen

“…Abstract Maximal oxygen uptake/consumption is an important variable determining exercise performance. It is generally considered to be limited largely, but not exclusively, by maximal cardiac output (CO), which limits the ability of heart to pump oxygen‐rich arterial blood to working muscles. …”

Enhancing nucleotide sequence representations in genomic analysis with contrastive optimization by Mohammadsaleh Refahi, Bahrad A. Sokhansanj, Joshua C. Mell, James R. Brown, Hyunwoo Yoo, Gavin Hearne, Gail L. Rosen

“…Abstract Analysis of genomic and metagenomic sequences is inherently more challenging than that of amino acid sequences due to the higher divergence among evolutionarily related nucleotide sequences, variable k-mer and codon usage within and among genomes of diverse species, and poorly understood selective constraints. …”

FACTORS DEFINING POSITIONS OF LEFT PARTIES ON THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE by A. Z. Zinnatullin

“…Proposed models try to explain the  position and saliency of immigration issue in the manifestos of  socialdemocratic, green and new left parties. We pay more attention  on several independent variables, such as electoral competition (we  operationalize it through the notion of effective number of parties  offered by Laakso and Taagepera), migration rate, popularity of far- right party, party’s nicheness, organizational traits (that we consider in terms of leaders-activists relations). …”

Research on agricultural science and technology advancement enabling the development of rural industrial incorporation from the perspective of decomposition by Sheng Yao, Guosong Wu

“…Taking China as an example in this study, we aim to reveal the enabling effects of agricultural science and technology advancement on the progress of rural industrial incorporation at a relatively more refined level. The main innovation in this study lies in the decomposition of agricultural science and technology advancement, followed by an analysis of its effect on rural industrial incorporation along both linear and non-linear dimensions. …”
