Electrochromic devices (ECDs) are devices that change their optical properties in response to a low applied voltage. These devices typically consist of an electrochromic layer, a transparent conducting substrate, and an electrolyte. The advancement in solid-state ECDs has been driven by the need for improved durability, optical performance, and energy efficiency.

From this perspective, the electrochromic (EC) windows could be a tangible solution as the indoor conditions are highly controllable by these smart devices even at a low applied voltage. Literally, vanadium pentoxide (VO) is a renowned candidate for the EC application due to its multicolor appearance and substantial lithium insertion capacity.

The primary objective in the current study was to develop genetic risk models that are predictive of survival and are applicable at the time of diagnosis and after establishing treatment response. Among 400 ND-AML patients treated with Ven-HMA at the Mayo Clinic, 247 (62%) achieved complete remission with (CR) or without (CRi) count recovery.

However, challenges persist with spectral representations of variable-length sequences for tasks like species classification and in interpreting these spectra to identify discriminative DNA regions.
Results: We introduce SpecGMM, a novel framework that integrates sliding window-based Spectral analysis with a Gaussian Mixture Model to transform variable-length DNA sequences into fixed-dimensional spectral representations for taxonomic classification.
