Short term residential load forecasting using long short-term memory recurrent neural network

Load forecasting plays an essential role in power system planning. The efficiency and reliability of the whole power system can be increased with proper planning and organization. Residential load forecasting is indispensable due to its increasing role in the smart grid environment. Nowadays, smart meters can be deployed at the residential level for collecting historical data consumption of residents. Although the employment of smart meters ensures large data availability, the inconsistency of load data makes it challenging and taxing to forecast accurately. Therefore, the traditional forecasting techniques may not suffice the purpose. However, a deep learning forecasting network-based long short-term memory (LSTM) is proposed in this paper. The powerful nonlinear mapping capabilities of RNN in time series make it effective along with the higher learning capabilities of long sequences of LSTM. The proposed method is tested and validated through available real-world data sets. A comparison of LSTM is then made with two traditionally available techniques, exponential smoothing and auto-regressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA). Real data from 12 houses over three months is used to evaluate and validate the performance of load forecasts performed using the three mentioned techniques. LSTM model has achieved the best results due to its higher capability of memorizing large data in time series-based predictions.
The Effects of B/L-Dependent Heating on the Formation and Evolution of a Multi-Threaded Prominence

We have developed a comprehensive, multi-threaded, three-dimensional model of the plasma dynamics and energetics of a prominence and its overlying arcade (Luna et al. 2012). In this model, the basic magnetic structure is that of two interacting sheared arcades, while the cool condensations composing the prominence are formed by the well-studied thermal nonequilibrium mechanism. In a given filament-channel flux tube, the mass is evaporated from the chromosphere by heating localized near the footpoints, and condenses in the form of transient blobs or a persistent thread. Our previous studies of thermal nonequilibrium used steady or impulsive heating functions with no dependence on local physical. However, parametric active-region models with steady heating proportional to B/L, where B is the flux-tube magnetic field strength at each footpoint and L is the flux-tube length, yield the best agreement with observations (e.g., Schrijver et al. 2008). We have determined the effects of this active-region heating function on our model for the formation and evolution of prominence mass. We have also expanded the range of our computational domain to include more ofthe overlying arcade (the so-called "cavity") than in Luna et al. (2012), and have increased the number of selected flux tubes from 125 to 533. We will illustrate the time-dependent plasma behavior produced by the B/L heating function with synthetic images in several ALA passbands, and compare the resulting prominence properties with those predicted by our model with steady heating.
Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Two Ectoparasitic Capsalids (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea: Monopisthocotylea): Gene Content, Composition, and Rearrangement

The capsalid monogeneans are important pathogens that generally infect marine fishes and have a substantial impact on fish welfare in aquaculture systems worldwide. However, the current mitogenome information on capsalids has received little attention, limiting the understanding of their evolution and phylogenetic relationships with other monogeneans. This paper reports the complete mitochondrial genomes of Capsala katsuwoni and Capsala martinieri for the first time, which we obtained using a next-generation sequencing method. The mitogenomes of C. katsuwoni and C. martinieri are 13,265 and 13,984 bp in length, respectively. Both species contain the typical 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, and a control region. The genome compositions show a moderate A+T bias (66.5% and 63.9% for C. katsuwoni and C. martinieri, respectively) and exhibit a negative AT skew but a positive GC skew in both species. One gene block rearrangement was found in C. katsuwoni in comparison with other capsalid species. Instead of being basal to the Gyrodactylidea and Dactylogyridea or being clustered with Dactylogyridea, all species of Capsalidea are grouped into a monophyletic clade. Our results clarify the gene rearrangement process and evolutionary status of Capsalidae and lay a foundation for further phylogenetic studies of monogeneans.
New insight into delay‐dependent stability of time‐delay systems

This paper presents a new insight into the delay‐dependent stability for time‐delay systems. Because of the key observation that the positive definiteness of a chosen Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional does not necessarily require all the involved symmetric matrices in the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional to be positive definite, an improved delay‐dependent asymptotic stability condition is presented in terms of a set of LMIs. This fact has been overlooked in the development of previous stability results. The importance of the present method is that a vast number of existing delay‐dependent results on analysis and synthesis of time‐delay systems derived by the Lyapunov–Krasovskii stability theorem can be improved by using this observation without introducing additional variables. The reduction of conservatism of the proposed result is both theoretically and numerically demonstrated. It is believed that the proposed method provides a new direction to improve delay‐dependent results on time‐delay systems. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Fc Fragment of IgE Receptor Ig (FCER1G) acts as a key gene involved in cancer immune infiltration and tumour microenvironment

Although recent studies have revealed the relationship between Fc Fragment of IgE Receptor Ig (FCER1G) and human tumours, there is still a lack of a more comprehensive pan‐cancer analysis of FCER1G as an immune‐related gene. In this study, we investigated the expression pattern and prognostic value of FCER1G based on multiple databases. Subsequently, we further explored the role of FCER1G in tumour proliferation and metastasis, as well as its genomic alterations and DNA methylation levels, we next assessed the association between FCER1G and the immune infiltrating cells of the tumour microenvironment in different cancers and verified it by immunohistochemical staining. The correlation between FCER1G and immune checkpoint genes expression and its predictive power in the immune checkpoint blockade treatment cohorts were used to evaluate the importance of FCER1G in immunotherapy. Enrichment analysis of FCER1G‐associated partners was also performed. In addition, we substantiated the expression of FCER1G in specific cell types of different tumours using single‐cell RNA sequencing data from different databases. Our research results showed that FCER1G is up‐regulated in most tumour. Positive associations were found between FCER1G expression and tumour prognosis, proliferation, and metastasis, we also found that FCER1G is closely related to the tumour microenvironment and tumour immunity. Moreover, FCER1G‐associated partners were enriched in pathways associated with neutrophils activation. Finally, we confirmed that FCER1G was mainly expressed in monocyte/macrophages of the tumour microenvironment. In conclusion, our findings provided a comprehensive understanding of FCER1G in oncogenesis and tumour immunology among various tumours and demonstrated its potential value in prognosis prediction and tumour immunotherapy.
Outcome of Operative Treatment of Intraarticular Fractures of Calcaneum

Backgroud: Calcaneum is the most commonly fractured tarsal bone. Approximately 75% are intra-articular fractures. Controversy continues regarding the management of calcaneal fractures. Earlier conservative management was preferred and surgical management considered inappropriate for these fractures. This trend is gradually changing with better understanding of disabling nature of injuries in combination with improved implant and routine use of intra-operative imaging. Closed treatment with cast invariably leads to long-term complications. However, still clinical evidence supporting operative treatment is limited and complications are frequently documented. Objectives: To evaluate the functional outcome of intraarticular fractures of calcaneum in terms of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score. Methods: This study was a retrospective analytic study. The study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, B.P. Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Nepal. Data collection and analysis of patients operated from July 2017 to June 2019 was done. Twenty six cases that fulfilled inclusion criteria were analysed. Results: Average age of the patients was 32 years. Sanders type 2B was the most common fracture pattern. There was significant improvement in Bohler angle (25.1°), calcaneal height (4.3cm) and width (3.9cm). Average AOFAS score and VAS score at final follow up were 81.4 and 7.9 respectively. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with plate is associated with good clinical and functional outcome in Sander type II and III fractures. With good surgical techniques, improved implant and proper use of fluoroscopy, proper restoration of Bohler angle, calcaneal height and width can be achieved.
Immunodeficiency Hiding in Plain Sight

Primary immunodeficiency syndromes encompass a wide variety of inborn and acquired cellular and signaling defects. They are predominantly diagnosed during childhood but can present later into young adulthood depending on the severity, impact, and access to healthcare. Early clues to diagnosis include atypical and severe or recurrent presentations to common pathogens, vaccine failure, and immune lab abnormalities. Despite seemingly obvious characteristics, diagnosis is frequently delayed by months to years at a cost of greatly increased morbidity. Here we present a case of a challenging hyper IgM syndrome diagnosed after seven months and multiple hospitalizations for unique multisystem pathologies.
Many-body effects in topological Kondo insulators

We study the effect of interactions on the properties of a model 2D topological Kondo insulator phase. Loosely motivated by recent proposals where graphene is hybridized with impurity bands from heavy adatoms with partially filled d-shells, we introduce a model Hamiltonian which we believe captures the essential physics of the different competing phases. We show that there are generically three possible phases with different combinations of Kondo screening and magnetic order. Perhaps the most dramatic example of many-body physics in symmetry protected topological phases is the existence of the exotic edge states. We demonstrate that our mean field model contains a region with a time-reversal invariant bulk phase but where TR symmetry is spontaneously broken at the edge. Such a phase would not be possible in a non-interacting model. We also comment on the stability of this phase beyond mean field theory.
Water consumption of industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) from a site in northern Kazakhstan

Purpose: This study investigated the water consumption (crop evapotranspiration) of industrial hemp on a newly established hemp field in Aqmola Region of Northern Kazakhstan. Methodology: The water consumption of hemp was investigated through direct measurements of the sapflow movement during the second half of the growing season 2021. These sapflow data yielded data on the water consumption. The water consumption of the first part of the growing season was assessed through the Penman-Monteith approach by FAO. Findings: The water consumption of hemp was 353 mm over the growing season at a stem yield of 10 t/ha. Under the water supply conditions of the study site, hemp offers higher yields than grasslands or grains. Originality/value: This is the first study that revealed data on water consumption of hemp for the region Central Asia as a potential raw material plant for bioeconomy.
Methylphenidate Analogues as a New Class of Potential Disease-Modifying Agents for Parkinson’s Disease: Evidence from Cell Models and Alpha-Synuclein Transgenic Mice

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons degeneration and Lewy body pathology, mainly composed of α-synuclein (αSyn) fibrillary aggregates. We recently described that the neuronal phosphoprotein Synapsin III (Syn III) participates in αSyn pathology in PD brains and is a permissive factor for αSyn aggregation. Moreover, we reported that the gene silencing of Syn III in a human αSyn transgenic (tg) mouse model of PD at a pathological stage, manifesting marked insoluble αSyn deposits and dopaminergic striatal synaptic dysfunction, could reduce αSyn aggregates, restore synaptic functions and motor activities and exert neuroprotective effects. Interestingly, we also described that the monoamine reuptake inhibitor methylphenidate (MPH) can recover the motor activity of human αSyn tg mice through a dopamine (DA) transporter-independent mechanism, which relies on the re-establishment of the functional interaction between Syn III and α-helical αSyn. These findings support that the pathological αSyn/Syn III interaction may constitute a therapeutic target for PD. Here, we studied MPH and some of its analogues as modulators of the pathological αSyn/Syn III interaction. We identified 4-methyl derivative I-threo as a lead candidate modulating αSyn/Syn III interaction and having the ability to reduce αSyn aggregation in vitro and to restore the motility of αSyn tg mice in vivo more efficiently than MPH. Our results support that MPH derivatives may represent a novel class of αSyn clearing agents for PD therapy.
The relationship between patient activation level and self-care management
in elderly patients with chronic illness in the southeastern anatolian region
of Turkey

Purpose: High level of patient activation is important for better patient outcomes in chronic illnesses. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between patient activation level and self-care management among elderly patients with chronic illness. Materials and methods: This descriptive and relational study was conducted with 503 patients aged 65 and older. "Personal Information Form", "Self-care Management Scale in Chronic Illness" and " Patient Activation Measure" was used to collect data. The Chi-squared test, Mann Whitney U,Kruskal Wallis tests and Spearman correlation test were used to evaluate the data. Results: The mean age of the elderly patients with chronic illness was 75.8±7.6. The mean Patient Activation Measure score was 51.3±14.8, and the mean Self-care Management Scale in Chronic Illness score was 99.1 ±10.7. 46.5% of the participants had a low level of activation. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the Patient Activation Measure and Self-care Management scale scores. Conclusion: There was a poor association between patient activation and self-care management in these elderly patients with chronic illness. As the activity of the elderly patients participating in this study increased, their self-care management levels also increased. It is thought that the evaluation of activity and self-care levels in order to improve the health outcomes of elderly patients with chronic diseases is important in terms of determining the interventions that should be applied individually. Keywords: Chronic illness; elderly; patient activation; self-care; self-management
Identification of spatial data and ecology of Javan hawk-eagle's nest (Nisaetus bartelsi) in the Kondang Merak Coastal, South Malang, East Java, Indonesia

Abstract. Iskandar RRD, Elfidasari D, Prawiradilaga DM. 2022. Identification of spatial data and ecology of Javan hawk-eagle's nest (Nisaetus bartelsi) in the Kondang Merak Coastal, South Malang, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 3419-3428. Ecological identification of the Javan hawk-eagle's habitat (Nisaetus bartelsi) is necessary to understand the support of its life, such as the spatial data in connection with its home range, nest location, and the use of nest trees. The species must choose a location that suits its needs. According to several studies, The Javan hawk-eagle's presence was only in highland forests. The new report of The Javan hawk-eagle occurrence in Merak Kondang coastal confirmed The Javan hawk-eagle's presence in lowland forest. The objective of this study was to identify the landscape characteristics that become the habitat preferences of The Javan hawk-eagle in Merak Kondang coastal, South Malang, East Java. Analysis used in this study included habitat suitability maps, plant vegetation, spatial analysis of tree canopy, and tree nest architecture analysis. The home range of the Javan hawk-eagle in the Kondang Merak coastal, South Malang, East Java, covered an area of 149.94 Ha. Most of the home range overlapped between Javan hawk-eagle individuals, including siblings and between an individual Javan hawk-eagle with other species of eagle. The Javan hawk-eagle used Spondias pinnata as nest trees with the architectural model Scarrone. It used 3 different tree species for perching, namely Pterocymbium javanicum, Anthocephalus cadamba, and Alstonia angustiloba. In the tree phase, the dominant vegetation type was Spondias pinnata (IVI) 43,16%, the pole phase that dominates was Mallotus paniculatus (IVI) 62.31%, the dominant vegetation of the stake phase was Garcinia forbesii, and the seedling phase was Arenga obtusifolia (IVI) 71.42%. The highest diversity index (H') was in the tree phase (H’=2,34), which was in the moderately abundant category and was at an elevation of 8% (flat).
Between- and within-person effects of stress on emotional eating in women: a longitudinal study over 49 days

Abstract Background Stress is associated with binge eating and emotional eating (EE) cross-sectionally. However, few studies have examined stress longitudinally, limiting understanding of how within-person fluctuations in stress influence EE over time and whether stress is a risk factor or consequence of EE. Additionally, little is known regarding how the biological stress response relates to EE. Methods We used an intensive, longitudinal design to examine between-person and within-person effects of major life stress, daily stress, and cortisol on EE in a population-based sample of women (N = 477; ages 15–30; M = 21.8; s.d. = 3.0) from the Michigan State University Twin Registry. Participants reported past year major life stress, then provided daily ratings of EE and stress for 49 consecutive days. Hair cortisol concentration (HCC) was collected as a longitudinal biological stress measure. Results Women reported greater EE when they experienced greater mean stress across days (between-person effects) or greater stress relative to their own average on a given day (within-person effects). Daily stress was more strongly associated with EE than major life stress. However, the impact of daily stress on EE was amplified in women with greater past year major life stress. Finally, participants with lower HCC had increased EE. Conclusions Findings confirm longitudinal associations between stress and EE in women, and highlight the importance of within-person shifts in stress in EE risk. Results also highlight HCC as a novel biological stress measure that is significantly associated with EE and may overcome limitations of prior physiological stress response indicators.
An empirical study of incorporating syntactic constraints into BERT-based location metonymy resolution

Abstract Metonymy resolution (MR) is a challenging task in the field of natural language processing. The task of MR aims to identify the metonymic usage of a word that employs an entity name to refer to another target entity. Recent BERT-based methods yield state-of-the-art performances. However, they neither make full use of the entity information nor explicitly consider syntactic structure. In contrast, in this paper, we argue that the metonymic process should be completed in a collaborative manner, relying on both lexical semantics and syntactic structure (syntax). This paper proposes a novel approach to enhancing BERT-based MR models with hard and soft syntactic constraints by using different types of convolutional neural networks to model dependency parse trees. Experimental results on benchmark datasets (e.g., ReLocaR, SemEval 2007 and WiMCor) confirm that leveraging syntactic information into fine pre-trained language models benefits MR tasks.
