Experimental validation of a novel hybrid Equilibrium Slime Mould Optimization for solar photovoltaic system.

Maximizing Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is an essential technique in photovoltaic (PV) systems that guarantees the highest potential conversion of sunlight energy under any irradiance changes. Efficient and reliable MPPT technique is a challenge faced by researchers due to factors such as fluctuations in irradiance and the presence of partial shading. This paper introduced a novel hybrid Equilibrium Slime Mould Optimization (ESMO) MPPT-based algorithm combining the advantages of two recent algorithms, Slime Mould Optimization (SMO) and Equilibrium Optimizer (EO).

Analyzing classification and feature selection strategies for diabetes prediction across diverse diabetes datasets.

Introduction: In the evolving landscape of healthcare and medicine, the merging of extensive medical datasets with the powerful capabilities of machine learning (ML) models presents a significant opportunity for transforming diagnostics, treatments, and patient care.

Methods: This research paper delves into the realm of data-driven healthcare, placing a special focus on identifying the most effective ML models for diabetes prediction and uncovering the critical features that aid in this prediction. The prediction performance is analyzed using a variety of ML models, such as Random Forest (RF), XG Boost (XGB), Linear Regression (LR), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Support VectorMachine (SVM), across numerousmedical datasets.

Investigating the Impact of Lunar Rover Structure and Lunar Surface Characteristics on Antenna Performance.

This article explores the influence of lunar regolith and rover structure, such as mast design and material composition, on antenna parameters. It focuses on the distinctive difficulties of communication in the lunar environment, which need specialized antenna solutions. This study specifically examines the performance of antennas on the lunar Rashid rover within the Atlas crater, a landing site on the moon, considering two antenna types: a sleeve dipole antenna and an all-metal patch antenna.

Best-Practice Biomarker Testing of Oesophago-Gastric Cancer in the UK: Expert Consensus Recommendations Developed Using a Modified Delphi.

Aims: Oesophago-gastric cancers (OGCs) are amongst the most commonly diagnosed malignancies worldwide and are associated with high disease-related mortality. Predictive biomarkers are molecules that can be objectively measured and used to indicate a likely response to therapeutic intervention, thus facilitating individualised cancer therapy. However, there remains variation in uptake and implementation of biomarker testing across the UK.
