Atom-to-atom maps (AAMs) are bijections that establish the correspondence of reactant and product atoms across chemical reactions. They capture crucial features of the reaction mechanism and thus play a central role in modeling chemistry at the level...
In a future where home health care is no longer an information silo, patient information will be communicated along transitions in care to improve care. Evidence-based practice in the United States supports home health care patients to see their prim...
A Wind Diesel Hybrid System (WDHS) is an isolated power system that combines Diesel Generators (DGs) and Wind Turbines (WTGs). The WDHS has three operation modes: Diesel Only (DO), Wind Diesel (WD) and Wind Only (WO). The latter mode is the only one...
Isolated limb perfusion (ILP) involves the local administration of high doses of anticancer drugs into a limb affected by unresectable locally advanced tumors (with special regard to in-transit melanoma metastases), minimizing systemic side effects....
Objective: Adolescents with chronic rheumatic disease must increasingly take on more responsibility for disease management from parents as they transition from pediatric to adult care. Yet, there are limited resources to inform and support parents ab...
The male transitional phase is of fundamental importance for future fertility. This aspect is largely neglected in clinical practice. This opinion aims to shed light on these issues. The children frequently complete the transition phase with a slight...
This paper proposes an online uniform foot location planning method (UPMPC) based on model predictive control (MPC) for solving the problem of large posture changes during gait transitioning. This method converts the foot location planning into a dis...
Shared bicycle users with commuting purposes generally need to take a traditional public transit and then use the shared bicycle to complete the first/last mile transport. While shared bicycle provides convenient travel for travelers, it also brings...
There is currently no consensus regarding whether or not renewable energies are capable of supplying all of our energy needs in the near future. To shed new light on this controversy, this paper develops a methodology articulating a macroeconomic mod...
Orthogonal operators can successfully be used to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvector compositions in complex spectra. Orthogonality ensures least correlation between the operators and thereby more stability in the fit, even for small interactions....
Quantum systems with dynamical symmetries have conserved quantities that are preserved under coherent control. Therefore, such systems cannot be completely controlled by means of only coherent control. In particular, for such systems, the maximum tra...
This article discusses the interconnection between the green transition and the digital transformation, known as the twin transition. The article analyses the specific role of digitalisation and its impact on a regional entrepreneurial ICT ecosystem...
This study addresses the problem of strictly dissipative stabilization for continuous-time Markovian jump systems (MJSs) with external disturbances and generally uncertain transition rates that contain completely unknown transition rates and their bo...
CALSTART recently completed a Best Practices in Hydrogen Fueling and Maintenance Facilities for Transit Agencies publication for the Federal Transit Administration. The objective of the project was to create a high-level resource that advances the ad...
In this review, we establish a relation between information erasure and continuous phase transitions. The order parameter, which characterizes these transitions, measures the order of the systems. It varies between 0, when the system is completely di...
An incomplete fuzzy preference framework for the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR) is proposed to handle both complete and incomplete fuzzy preference information. Usually, decision makers’ (DMs’) fuzzy preferences are assumed to be complete...
Semantic scene completion through AI-driven content generation is a rapidly evolving field with crucial applications in 3D reconstruction and scene understanding. This task presents considerable challenges, arising from the intrinsic data sparsity an...
To reduce lapses in care for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients approaching adulthood, a health maintenance transition visit (HMV) was developed to supplement standard medical care (SMV). Our aim was to assess the effect of the HMV o...
