Machine learning techniques are widely applied in the field of building energy analysis to provide accurate energy models.The majority of previous studies, however, apply single-output machine learning algorithms to predict building energy use.Single-output models are unable to concurrently predict different time scales or various types of energy u
Is traditional male circumcision effective as an HIV prevention strategy? Evidence from Lesotho.
In many developing countries, male circumcision has been promoted as an effective HIV prevention strategy, and medical randomized controlled trials have indeed shown a causal link.However, there is limited empirical evidence to support this conclusion in countries where individuals can voluntary opt for different types of circumcision.The present s
flow-models: A framework for analysis and modeling of IP network flows
Recent developments in SDN technologies have resulted in flow-based forwarding becoming are a feasible alternative for traditional mechanisms.However, as the efficiency of flow-based solutions strongly depends on traffic characteristics, they need to be evaluated using realistic and accurate flow models.In this paper, Hats we present a software fra
Performance of 1D quantum cellular automata in the presence of error
This work expands a previous block-partitioned quantum cellular automata (BQCA) model proposed by Brennen and Williams [Phys.Rev.A.68, 042311 (2003)] to incorporate physically realistic error models.These include timing errors in the form of Chair over- and under-rotations of quantum states during computational gate sequences, stochastic phase and
H/ACA Small RNA Dysfunctions in Disease Reveal Key Roles for Noncoding RNA Modifications in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Differentiation
Noncoding RNAs control critical cellular processes, although their contribution to disease remains largely unexplored.Dyskerin associates with hundreds of H/ACA small RNAs to generate a multitude of functionally distinct ribonucleoproteins (RNPs).The DKC1 gene, encoding dyskerin, is mutated in the multisystem disorder X-linked dyskeratosis congenit
