The transition to sustainable energy has become imperative due to the depletion of fossil fuels. Solar energy presents a viable alternative owing to its abundance and environmental benefits. However, the intermittent nature of solar energy requires accurate forecasting of solar irradiance (SI) for reliable operation of photovoltaics (PVs) integrated syste ...

Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is widely used for studying resting-state brain connectivity. However, MEG source imaging is ill posed and has limited spatial resolution. This introduces source-leakage issues, making it challenging to interpret MEG-derived connectivity in resting states. To address ...

Efforts to use genome-wide assays or brain scans to diagnose autism have seen diminishing returns. Yet the clinical intuition of healthcare professionals, based on longstanding first-hand experience, remains the gold standard for diagnosis of autism. We leveraged deep learning to deconstruct and interrogate the logic of expert clinician intuition from cli ...

Brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) is a socioeconomically important fish species for fisheries, aquaculture and aquatic conservation. We produced a 2.5 Gb reference assembly by combining Hi-C chromosome conformation capture with high-coverage short- and long-read sequencing of a fully homozygous ...

Morning awakening is part of everyday life. Surprisingly, information remains scarce on its underlying neurophysiological correlates. Here simultaneous polysomnography and stereo-electroencephalography recordings from 18 patients are used to assess the spectral and connectivity content of the process of awakening at a local level 15 min before and after t ...

Introduction: Pain in lower back is a common condition reported by astronauts, both during and after space missions. Investigating the alterations in the spine and the mechanisms driving these changes is essential for a deeper understanding of how microgravity impacts the human spine. This knowle ...

Cardiac ultrasound (US) scanning is one of the most commonly used techniques in cardiology to diagnose the health of the heart and its proper functioning. During a typical US scan, medical professionals take several images of the heart to be classified based on the cardiac views they contain, wit ...

Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between the subjective performance evaluations on pilot trainees' aircraft control abilities and their brainwave dynamics reflected in the results from EEG microstate analysis. Specifically, we seek to identify correlations between distinct microstate patterns and each dimension included in th ...

Objectives: Adverse event detection from Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) is challenging due to the low incidence of the event, variability in clinical documentation, and the complexity of data formats. Pulmonary embolism as an adverse event (PEAE) is particularly difficult to identify using exi ...
