Accurate weekly electricity load prediction is of utmost importance for electricity providers to ensure uninterrupted power supply to customers. This study applies an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to achieve precise weekly electricity load prediction. The dataset used for the ANN model consists of three months’ worth of data, including daily workload profiles, holiday work profiles, temperature, and humidity. For model training, 90% of the data is utilized with the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm, while the remaining 10% is used for testing. The Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE) is employed as the error metric. Based on the test results, the weekly load prediction error rate using ANN is determined to be 1.78% based on the MAPE value.

Photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) is an emerging spectral CT technology with significant potential for revolutionizing clinical CT applications. However, noise amplification during signal decomposition significantly limits the utility of basis material images. While data-driven supervised learning has been successful in reducing noise in conventional CT images, applying this method to PCCT is challenging due to the early phase of clinical studies and difficulty in gathering sufficient clinical data for training. To solve this issue, this paper proposes a projection-domain noise propagation model for noise suppression during material decomposition. Firstly, an analytical model is derived from the decomposition of dual-energy materials to describe in detail the propagation of noise from the detector domain to the projection domain. Such model can accurately describe the variance of each pixel in the basis material images. Secondly, we incorporate this statistical model into self-supervised learning network and define a joint optimization strategy via maximizing the constrained log-likelihood with Gaussian statistics. For self-supervised learning, we suggest to construct pseudo training pairs to learn denoising solely from noisy samples. Extensive analyses on real data demonstrate that the proposed method is promising for improving the virtual monochromatic imaging (VMI) quality of PCCT. Our method uses a small amount of experimental data and could be implemented in a real clinical setting.

Virtual Reality has gained significant interest with the advancement of display and processing technologies in recent years. Traditionally, visual stimuli were the main point of interest in the development of new VR applications. However, audio is also key to the success of such experiences. Audio technology is responsible for making the VR environment more immersive as it is directly correlated with how we perceive the world. Our real-world environments are multimodal and multisensory. In this work, we investigate the effect of two types of distractors in an auditory selective attention task. Users were immersed in a virtual classroom with spatialised audio enabled. The task itself was divided into two subtasks. First, participants had to identify different types of auditory and audiovisual stimuli in the scene. Second, they had to focus their attention on a speaker in front of them and identify a keyword from the story each time they heard it. Furthermore, participants were divided into three groups that differ on when the distractor is presented in the second subtask: (a) before, (b) same time, and (c) after the keyword. Findings from this study show that there are significant gender differences for listeners immersed in an environment with competing sounds in recalling a story. Moreover, the time when distractors are presented significantly affected the response time, being inversely proportional to the mean response time.
