Prediction of energy consumption in four sectors using support vector regression optimized with genetic algorithm.

Effectively managing and optimizing energy resources to accommodate population growth while minimizing carbon emissions has become increasingly intricate. A proficient approach to this dilemma is accurately predicting energy usage and emissions across diverse sectors. This paper unveils a genetic algorithm (GA)-optimized support vector regression (SVR) model designed to (i) predict electricity generation, (ii) predict energy consumption in four primary sectors-residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural, and (iii) estimate sector-specific carbon emissions.

Formulation and validation of mathematical model for co-sputtering conditions to attain stoichiometric CZTS films: Expedience of using all metal sulfide targets.

A soda lime glass substrate is used for fabricating CuZnSnS (CZTS) thin films using copper (II) sulfide (CuS), zinc sulfide (ZnS), and tin sulfide (SnS) targets using an advanced co-sputtering deposition process. Following that, the films are annealed at 470 °C without sulfur (S). An algorithm based on the deposition rate of the previously specified targets set the co-sputtering condition, which maintains a deposition pressure of 5, 10, 15, and 20 mTorr.

DFT Study of Structural, Electronic, and Charge-Transfer Properties of 2-Naphthol Azo Derivatives: Geometric, Positional, and Substituent Effects.

This work represents a systematic computational study of structural and optoelectronic properties of 24 phenylazo-2-naphthol derivatives using the DFT-B3LYP/6-31 + G(d,p) method. The positional isomers of azo compounds have been designed by introducing an azophenyl unit (with and without substituents) at three different (1-, 3-, and 4-) positions of 2-naphthols. This result shows that depending on the linking position of the azophenyl unit and substituents (NO and maleimide), the -azo, -azo, and hydrazo forms of our substituted azo derivatives possess distinguished UV-vis absorption and charge-transfer properties compared to unsubstituted Sudan I derivatives.

Multi task opinion enhanced hybrid BERT model for mental health analysis.

Understanding the nuanced emotions and points of view included in user-generated content remains challenging, even though text data analysis for mental health is a crucial instrument for assessing emotional well-being. Most current models neglect the significance of integrating viewpoints in comprehending mental health in favor of single-task learning. To offer a more thorough knowledge of mental health, in this study, we present an Opinion-Enhanced Hybrid BERT Model (Opinion-BERT), built to handle multi-task learning for simultaneous sentiment and status categorization.

Restoration of G to A mutated transcripts using the MS2-ADAR1 system.

Site-directed RNA editing (SDRE) holds significant promise for treating genetic disorders resulting from point mutations. Gene therapy, for common genetic illnesses is becoming more popular and, although viable treatments for genetic disorders are scarce, stop codon mutation-related conditions may benefit from gene editing. Effective SDRE generally depends on introducing many guideRNA molecules relative to the target gene; however, large ratios cannot be achieved in the context of gene therapy applications.
