This paper presents a novel approach to analyze and optimize healthcare systems based on clinical pathways, using timed continuous Petri nets (TCPNs) under infinite server semantics. TCPNs allow for an efficient continuous-time analysis of the patient flow and resource utilization dynamics of these types of systems. We demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our method through a case study of a hip fracture pathway at the "Lozano Blesa" University Clinical Hospital, in Zaragoza Spain. Additionally, we propose a method to optimize the behavior of the modeled system by taking a control theory approach, which enables the system to achieve maximum throughput more efficiently. Finally, we provide simulation results to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller in practical settings.
—Non-point spatial objects (e.g., polygons, linestrings, etc.) are ubiquitous. We study the problem of indexing non-point objects in memory for range queries and spatial intersection joins. We propose a secondary par...

Electricity consumers often face the challenge of selecting an optimal plan for saving energy. Strategic energy management and monitoring plays a key role in overcoming these challenges. Developments around Industry 5.0 powered smart grid proffers adequate solutions which allows end-consumers to monitor their energy performance towards effecting demand side recommendation services. Specific problems where end-users are likely to ignore recommended advice exists, thereby contributing to widening ‘knowledge-action gap’. An ensemble of hybrid digital twins (DT) asset modelling based on ordinary differential equation (ODE) physics engine and data driven recurrent neural network (RNN) prediction approach alongside PageRank based asset behavior scoring algorithm deployed for demand side recommender and generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) based conversational chatbot technology show effectiveness in engaging and extending end-consumers interests in recommended advice. The novelty of the study lies in extending current scope of demand side recommender scheme via conversational chatbot interface for DT of electricity grid assets that better engage and monitors end-user’s energy behavior while offering appropriate energy efficiency advice towards achieving energy conservation goals of smart grid consumers. Extensive experiments, including evaluation of end-user studies, revealed the effectiveness of proposed approach in terms of improved recommendation quality and user engagement towards net electricity demand reduction.

Disorders affecting the brain and the nerves that supply the entire body are referred to as neurological diseases. Changes in the brain’s chemistry, structure, or electrical system can cause a variety of symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a degenerative neurological condition that impairs cognitive function, is one example of this type of illness. The most prevalent type of dementia for which there is no effective treatment. Early detection and treatment, however, may help the patient’s lifestyle and reduce symptoms. Brain imaging techniques, including MRI, CT, PET, and others, are widely used to diagnose neurological problems. It has been discovered that the Artificial Intelligence based approaches, such as the deep learning algorithms and machine learning algorithms work well for assessing these photos and provide improved accuracy for identifying AD. In this paper, we classified AD and Control cases using four different Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) versions. Additionally, in order to increase the accuracy of AD’s classification, we have segmented the images using Otsu’s thresholding technique. The outcomes demonstrate that, both before and after thresholding was implemented, the CNN AlexNet offers a significant improvement over the other deep learning models.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) significantly enhances adaptive learning by personalizing and tailoring instruction to individual student needs. AI analyzes data in real-time to create personalized learning paths based on students' strengths, weaknesses, and preferences, which keeps students engaged and motivated. A major benefit of AI in adaptive learning is the provision of real-time feedback and assessment, allowing students to correct mistakes promptly and understand concepts more thoroughly. AI-based intelligent tutoring systems are primarily intended to simulate personalized tutoring processes that guide students in complex problem-solving and answering questions. It is convenient in teaching mathematics, sciences, and languages. AI also supports inclusive education, dealing with diversified learning requirements and styles, such as those of learners with disabilities. For the teacher, AI acts as a reflector of student performance so that one can intervene early and make adjustments in the method of instruction by creating effective learning environments. AI technology is a field in constant development and harbors the potential to change the face of adaptive learning, bringing an upswing in educational outcomes. This article will summarize the advantages and features that merit improvement of the AI-embedded adaptive learning systems with student feedback.

Many microswimmers propel themselves by rotating microcylindrical organelles such as flagella or cilia. These cylindrical organelles almost never live in free space, yet their motions in a confining geometry can be counterintuitive. For example, one of the intriguing yet classical results in this regard is that a rotating cylinder next to a plane wall does not generate any net force in Newtonian fluids and therefore does not translate. In this work we employ analytical and numerical tools to investigate the motions of microcylinders under prescribed torques in a confining geometry. We show that a cylinder pair can form four nontrivial hydrodynamic bound states depending on the relative position within the confinement. Our analysis shows that the distinct states are the results of competing effects of the hydrodynamic interactions within the cylinder pair and between the active cylinders and the confinement.
Novel materials such as ZnO, InGaZnO, AMO-CNT, and organic materials and improved fabrication processes dramatically enhanced the achieved and projected thin film transistor (TFT) performance. The effective field-effe...
