The Bank Conducts Credit Evaluation on Credit Holders
Authors: Zeng Ye 
Published: August 2024

The study started with data preprocessing, identifying and removing 88 potential outliers in contact duration based on the 3σ rule. Descriptive stats showed a customer base primarily aged 30-50 with a low median deposit balance (440), brief (4-minute) calls, and infrequent interactions. Graphical analysis via bar and pie charts illuminated key demographics: managerial and blue-collar workers dominated, most customers were married, had a low default rate, and approximately 15.3% had active loans. Most customers didn't use deposit products (89.4%). Scatter plots revealed significant correlations among continuous variables, with 'duration' having a moderate positive link to the dependent variable. Multivariate categorical variables underwent variance tests and multiple comparisons, revealing differences in deposit subscriptions by occupation and education levels. Binary categorical variables were assessed using T-tests. Logistic regression models were trained on five randomly divided subsets, leveraging SMOTE due to class imbalance. The model performed well (accuracy 0.8935, F1 score 0.7107), yet lower recall suggested scope for improvement. The study furnishes insights into customer behavior and proposes avenues for refining credit risk assessment in banking.

Authors: Xu Anqi 
Published: August 2024

Poker is a popular card game as well as the foundation of a number of types of gambling. Since the variability of playing poker is high as a typical intellectual game, and the uncertainty and complexity is significant during the game, ways to win in poker games have always been widely discussed about. The aim of this essay is to use probabilities and statistics to calculate the probability that a player wins in a one-to-one poker game, and analyze the data. Then use methods such as combination and classification discussion to calculate the probability for a player to win as well as testifying the validity of the probability acquired by using different categories of experiments. Eventually, use the Kelly formula to calculate the percentage of the player's total chips that should be raised, hence to give an instruction to the player to make reasonable decisions during the game in order to maximize the profit. It can also provide methods to solving more complicated poker games and enhance the poker skills.
Titanic Survival Prediction Based on Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: Zhang Yuming 
Published: August 2024

This report is aimed at demonstrating the application of machine learning techniques for predicting the survival of passengers who boarded the Titanic. After analyzing the Titanic dataset, which includes variables Pclass, Sex, Age, SibSp, Parch, Fare, Ticket, and Cabin, two machine learning algorithms, Logistic Regression and Random Forests Model, are used to give survival predictions. Models are compared to find an accuracy difference, and the magnitudes that each factor has on survival are also identified. Data preprocessing is the essential technique that will be used to adjust the data set. Before this process, correlations between variables are analyzed to give directions for feature engineering. And for feature engineering, data conversion and vacancy filling are first implemented. Afterwards, features are selected while new features are gained for model implementation. In understanding the final outputs of the model, new features, like name length, combine to give insight into more implicit survival factors that have been previously ignored.

Published: August 2024

In deep-sea exploration projects, submarines have become one of the recreational activities for people and also serve as the primary means of scientific investigation in the deep ocean. To monitor the submarine's position and status in real-time, we have developed dynamic and Monte Carlo random walk models to predict its location over some time. Due to the complexity of the underwater environment, search and rescue equipment is necessary to locate the submarine in case of malfunction or loss of contact. Therefore, we employ the VIKOR evaluation ranking model to assess and rank various search and rescue devices, ultimately determining that carrying equipment such as the Teledyne BV5000 sonar, infrared thermographic camera, and deep-sea camera is most suitable. Through our model, we have a significant impact on future submarine diving missions, enabling accurate prediction of the submarine's position and selection of appropriate search and rescue equipment, thereby enhancing safety in underwater exploration and scientific research.

Authors: Kadhim Mustafa Egla , Rajab Nawal Ayash 
Published: August 2024

Background: The remarkably low delivery efficiency and lack of specificity of anticancer medicines constrain systemic chemotherapy due to its inadequate therapeutic effectiveness and significant toxic side effects. Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of protein nanoparticles made from sericin and loaded with paclitaxel as a carrier for pulmonary delivery for lung cancer treatment. Methods: Self-assembled nanoparticles made from sericin and poloxamer 407 and loaded with paclitaxel were prepared by the desolvation method and the physicochemical, in vitro and in vivo characteristics of the prepared nanoparticles were investigated. Results: The PTX-loaded sericin nanoparticles were successfully prepared and exhibited low particle size (145.0 nm), high entrapment efficiency of paclitaxel, and spherical shape confirmed by TEM. The nanoparticles demonstrated prolonged cytotoxicity on A549 cells in comparison to the conventional paclitaxel solution. Once transformed into aerosol form, the nanoparticles significantly extended the duration of paclitaxel in the lungs and slowed down its elimination compared to the standard medication (Taxol®). The animal group treated with these nanoparticles did not exhibit any notable histopathological findings when compared to the control animal group. Conclusions: Aerosolized nanoparticles can improve the delivery of paclitaxel to the lungs, leading to improved effectiveness and a lower frequency of medication administration. They also show promise as a therapeutic method for treating lung cancer.

Authors: Vergara López Yury 
Published: August 2024

Los estudios del cuerpo han planteado múltiples interrogantes, ya que se ha pensado el cuerpo sobre dos concepciones: lo físico y lo espiritual, es por eso que su estudio permite conocer y desenredar muchos interrogantes acerca de los diferentes constructos que se crean a partir de él (González y Jiménez Tavira, 2011, p. 115). En las prácticas deportivas y la modelación de los cuerpos a partir de las diferentes disciplinas deportivas surgen múltiples interrogantes, desde las repuestas fisiológicas y adaptativas del cuerpo, así mismo de las repuestas psicosociales a estrés y exigencia deportiva.
La preocupación por la imagen corporal (Compte y Sepuvedad, 2014, p. 322) está presente en todos los niveles sociales, y las disciplinas deportivas no son la excepción, el modelo corporal deportivo y su imagen se puede expresar en una preocupación continua que va desde la obsesión por la musculatura hasta la dismorfia muscular. Las alteraciones de la imagen corporal se pueden presentar como uno de los síntomas de aquellos que la padecen, auto percibiéndose con menos músculos, así como menos fuertes de lo que realmente son (Compte y Sepuvedad, 2014, p. 309), muchos autores asemejan esta patología a una anorexia inversa o nerviosa, que por algún tiempo se denominó vigorexia.

Published: August 2024

Areas with high population density have the potential to degrade environmental quality. This is because an increase in population leads to a higher amount of waste accumulation. Bogor City is known for its dense population. In 2018, the Galuga Bogor Landfill received 650 tons of waste per day. With the population growing each year, accompanied by an increase in waste generation, there is a need for effective and sustainable waste management efforts. However, several obstacles are often encountered in waste management, such as the lack of understanding among the population. If left unaddressed, this situation can have serious implications for the environment, leading to natural disasters and public health issues. The aim of this research is to predict the amount of waste accumulation in Bogor City, with the hope of assisting the government and the community in enhancing waste management practices. The research methodology involves the analysis of Causal Loop Diagram (CLD) and Stock Flow Diagram (SFD), which will be simulated using Time Graph and Time Table, and processed through the Powersim Studio 10 Express application. Simulation results indicate that waste accumulation in Bogor City is expected to continue increasing from 2018 to 2025. The difference in waste accumulation between 2018 and 2025 is estimated to be 87,783 tons, with the Bogor City Landfill projected to receive 890 tons of waste per day by 2025.

Enhancing Soil Carbon Sequestration and Land Restoration through Tropical Forest Management
Authors: Md. Shoaibur Rahman  , Raihan Asif , Samanta Islam  , Pramila Paul  , Sourav Karmakar  
Published: August 2024

Soil has a high capacity for absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2). The significance of soil organic carbon (SOC) in tropical regions is often overlooked, despite its crucial role. This study investigates the potential of forest management to enhance the sequestration of SOC and rehabilitate degraded tropical ecosystems. Sequestering soil organic carbon has the potential to improve soil fertility while also mitigating land degradation and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The improvement of soil structure, aggregation, infiltration, faunal mobility, and nutrient cycling (specifically carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur) is observed. Managing forest ecosystems enhances carbon sequestration, mitigates climate change, and rehabilitates degraded land. By integrating organic residue management with nitrogen-fixing plants, afforestation or reforestation of marginal or degraded lands can effectively increase carbon storage in both biomass and soil. This approach also promotes soil health, improves food productivity, restores land quality, and contributes to the reduction of GHG emissions. The sequestration of carbon promotes the biological, physical, and chemical fertility of the soil, hence enhancing soil health.
