Three frequently used RSA metrics are investigated to document violations of assumptions for parametric analyses, moderation by respiration, influences of nonstationarity, and sensitivity to vagal blockade. Although all metrics are highly correlated, new findings illustrate that the metrics are noticeably different on the above dimensions. Only one method conforms to the assumptions for parametric analyses, is not moderated by respiration, is not influenced by nonstationarity, and reliably generates stronger effect sizes. Moreover, this method is also the most sensitive to vagal blockade. Specific features of this method may provide insights into improving the statistical characteristics of other commonly used RSA metrics. These data provide the evidence to question, based on statistical grounds, published reports using particular metrics of RSA.

This research introduces a novel hybrid cryptographic framework that combines traditional cryptographic protocols with advanced methodologies, specifically Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks with Gradient Penalty (WGAN-GP) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). We evaluated several cryptographic protocols, including AES-ECB, AES-GCM, ChaCha20, RSA, and ECC, against critical metrics such as security level, efficiency, side-channel resistance, and cryptanalysis resistance. Our findings demonstrate that this integrated approach significantly enhances both security and efficiency across all evaluated protocols.

Enhanced penstock structural models significantly advance hydropower engineering, yet their increasing complexity introduces challenges. As model interactions intensify, predictability and comprehensibility decrease, complicating the evaluation of model accuracy and alignment with operational performance metrics and safety standards. This issue is particularly pronounced in dynamic modeling, where knowledge gaps hinder straightforward validation via observational data.

Efficient control strategy for electric furnace temperature regulation using quadratic interpolation optimization.

Sci Rep

Department of Theoretical Electrical Engineering and Diagnostics of Electrical Equipment, Institute of Electrodynamics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Beresteyskiy, 56, Kyiv-57, Kyiv, 03680, Ukraine.

Electric furnaces play an important role in many industrial processes where precise temperature control is essential to ensure production efficiency and product quality. Traditional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers and their modified versions are commonly used to maintain temperature stability by reacting quickly to deviations. In this study, the real PID plus second-order derivative (RPIDD) controller is introduced for the first time for industrial temperature control applications, which is a novel alternative that has not yet been investigated in the literature.

Modified Distalization Shoulder Angle and Lateralization Shoulder Angle show weakly correlation with clinical outcomes following reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg

Introduction: The focus in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been on the lateralization and distalization of prosthesis positioning, influenced by implant design and surgical technique. There's no consensus on the optimal amount of lateralization and distalization or the best radiographic parameters for evaluating placement. This study examines the correlation and the predictive value between previously described modified distalization shoulder angle (DSA) and lateralization shoulder angle (LSA) with postoperative outcomes, which aim to differentiate the contributions of the humeral and glenoid components in the global distalization and lateralization of the RSA.
