Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050: a forecasting analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Stein Emil, Vollset

“…Forecasts for the reference scenario found that health will improve in the coming decades, with all-cause age-standardised DALY rates decreasing in every GBD super-region. The total DALY burden measured in counts, however, will increase in every super-region, largely a function of population ageing and growth. …”

Modeling the influence of daily temperature and precipitation extreme indices on vegetation dynamics in Katsina State using statistical downscaling model (SDM) by Mohammad Hadi Ahmad (17632248)

“…The results indicate that the statistical downscaling model (SDSM) is performing satisfactorily in predicting maximum and minimum temperatures, along with precipitation, for the time horizon of the simulation. Mean precipitation of 1.98 mm (RCP2.6), 2.03 mm (RCP4.5), and 2.07 mm (RCP8.5) was revealed in the study area. …”

Multi-Cluster Jumping Particle Swarm Optimization for Fast Convergence by Atiq Ur Rehman (8843024)

“…The classical PSO has limitations of slow convergence rate and trapping in local minima, as the dimensions of the data increase. Moreover, majority of improvements made by the researchers in optimization techniques have focused on the accuracy of solution and have overlooked the convergence speed of an algorithm. …”

Rapid separation of very low concentrations of bacteria from blood by Buchanan, Clara M.

“…The filters were grown on nutrient plates to determine the number of bacteria recovered from the blood. Experiments were done without red blood cell (RBC) lysis and with RBC lysis in the recovered plasma. …”

Application of Enhanced Self-Adaptive Virtual Inertia Control for Efficient Frequency Control of Renewable Energy-Based Microgrid System Integrated with Electric Vehicles by Sonalika Mishra (22393114)

“…It is noticed that with the SAEVIC approach, the overshoot (OS)-11.40%, undershoot (US)- 46.46%, settling time (ST)-98.6% and fitness value-10.27% are decreased as compared to conventional enhanced VI approach under Stochastic variations of wind, PV, and multi-step load disturbance of MG system.…”

FLACON: A Deep Federated Transfer Learning-Enabled Transient Stability Assessment During Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Grid Faults by Mohamed Massaoudi (16888710)

“…To avoid the constant adjustment of hyperparameters, the FLACON employs an inductive transfer learning approach for hyperparameter tuning of the pre-trained model, markedly decreasing training time. Extensive experiments on datasets from the IEEE 39-bus system and the IEEE 68-bus system demonstrate FLACON's exceptional accuracy of 98.98% compared to some competitive alternatives.…”

Distribution network line protection in the presence of distributed generation by Margossian, Harag
