Abstract Background The microbiome has emerged as an environmental factor contributing to obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D).Increasing evidence suggests links between circulating bacterial components (i.e., bacterial DNA), cardiometabolic disease, and blunted response to metabolic interventions.In this aspect, thorough next-generation sequencing-ba
On Deadlock Analysis and Characterization of Labeled Petri Nets with Undistinguishable and Unobservable Transitions
This work addresses the analysis and characterization of deadlocks in discrete-event systems modeled by labeled Petri nets Makeup Bag (LPNs) with undistinguishable and unobservable transitions.To provide a solution for the notorious problem, it is essential to present an effective characterization in such a way that deadlock control and synthesis a
Investigation of the Effect of Physical and Optical Factors on the Optical Performance of a Parabolic Trough Collector
The overall thermal performance of a Parabolic Trough Collector (PTC) depends on its optical performance, particularly the uniformity of the irradiance distribution and the resultant optical efficiency of the collector.Local Concentration Ratio (LCR), optical efficiency and average light concentration are three fundamental parameters of the optical
Fraud Detection Using Random Forest Classifier, Logistic Regression, and Gradient Boosting Classifier Algorithms on Credit Cards
The following credit card records were used in this study of 284.807 transactions made by credit card holders in Europe for two days from the Kaggle dataset.This is a very poor data set, having 492 transactions, an imbalance of only 0.172% of the 284.807 transactions.The purpose of this study is to obtain the best model and then simulate it by elec
On Combining Language Models to Improve a Text-Based Human-Machine Interface
This paper concentrates on improving a text-based human-machine interface integrated into a robotic Lego Minifigure wheelchair.Since word prediction is one of the most common methods used in such systems, the goal of this work is to improve the results using this specific module.For this, an exponential interpolation language model (LM) is consider
