Abstract Predictive maintenance (PdM) is vital for ensuring the reliability, safety, and cost efficiency of heavy-duty vehicle fleets. However, real-world sensor data are often highly imbalanced, noisy, and temporally irregular, posing significant challenges to model robustness and deployment. Using multivariate time-series data from Scania trucks, this study proposes a novel PdM framework that integrates efficient feature summarization with cost-sensitive hierarchical classification. First, the proposed last_k_summary method transforms recent operational records into compact statistical and trend-based descriptors while preserving missingness, allowing LightGBM to leverage its inherent split rules without ad-hoc imputation. Then, a two-stage LightGBM framework is developed… More >

Abstract This study explores theoretical insights and experimental results on monitoring load-carrying capacity degradation in bridge spans through frequency analysis. Experiments were conducted on real bridge structures, including the Binh Thuan Bridge, focusing on analyzing the power spectral density (PSD) of vibration signals under random traffic loads. Detailed digital models of various bridge spans with different structural designs and construction periods were developed to ensure diversity. The study utilized PSD to analyze the vibration signals from the bridge spans under various loading conditions, identifying the vibration frequencies and the corresponding response regions. The research correlated the… More >

Abstract Maintaining the structural integrity of parallel natural gas pipelines during leakage-induced jet fires remains a critical engineering challenge. Existing methods often fail to account for the complex interactions among heat transfer, material behavior, and pipeline geometry, which can lead to overly simplified and potentially unsafe assessments. To address these limitations, this study develops a multiphysics approach that integrates small-orifice leakage theory with detailed thermo-fluid-structural simulations. The proposed framework contributes to a more accurate failure analysis through three main components: (1) coupled modeling that tracks transient heat flow and stress development as fire conditions evolve; (2)… More >

Abstract Background: Therapeutic responses of breast cancer vary among patients and lead to drug resistance and recurrence due to the heterogeneity. Current preclinical models, however, are inadequate for predicting individual patient responses towards different drugs. This study aimed to investigate the patient-derived breast cancer culture models for drug sensitivity evaluations. Methods: Tumor and adjacent tissues from female breast cancer patients were collected during surgery. Patient-derived breast cancer cells were cultured using the conditional reprogramming technique to establish 2D models. The obtained patient-derived conditional reprogramming breast cancer (CRBC) cells were subsequently embedded in alginate-gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel microspheres… More >

Abstract The integration of wind power and natural gas for hydrogen production forms a Green and Blue Hydrogen Integrated Energy System (GBH-IES), which is a promising cogeneration approach characterized by multi-energy complementarity, flexible dispatch, and efficient utilization. This system can meet the demands for electricity, heat, and hydrogen while demonstrating significant performance in energy supply, energy conversion, economy, and environment (4E). To evaluate the GBH-IES system effectively, a comprehensive performance evaluation index system was constructed from the 4E dimensions. The fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to quantify the causal relationships between indicators, establishing a scientific input-output… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly applied in the field of code translation. However, existing evaluation methodologies suffer from two major limitations: (1) the high overlap between test data and pretraining corpora, which introduces significant bias in performance evaluation; and (2) mainstream metrics focus primarily on surface-level accuracy, failing to uncover the underlying factors that constrain model capabilities. To address these issues, this paper presents TCode (Translation-Oriented Code Evaluation benchmark)—a complexity-controllable, contamination-free benchmark dataset for code translation—alongside a dedicated static feature sensitivity evaluation framework. The dataset is carefully designed to control complexity along multiple dimensions—including syntactic… More >

Abstract The emergence of Medical Large Language Models has significantly transformed healthcare. Medical Large Language Models (Med-LLMs) serve as transformative tools that enhance clinical practice through applications in decision support, documentation, and diagnostics. This evaluation examines the performance of leading Med-LLMs, including GPT-4Med, Med-PaLM, MEDITRON, PubMedGPT, and MedAlpaca, across diverse medical datasets. It provides graphical comparisons of their effectiveness in distinct healthcare domains. The study introduces a domain-specific categorization system that aligns these models with optimal applications in clinical decision-making, documentation, drug discovery, research, patient interaction, and public health. The paper addresses deployment challenges of Medical-LLMs, More >

Abstract Objectives: Problematic use of the internet (PUI) has been increasingly associated with various mental health issues, highlighting the need for accurate assessment tools. The Assessment of Criteria for Specific Internet-use Disorder (ACSID-11) is a validated psychometric instrument designed to measure distinct forms of PUI across multiple online activities. However, its applicability and validity have not yet been established within the Indonesian context. Therefore, this study aimed to translate and validate the ACSID-11 for use among Indonesian populations. Methods: The translation procedure of the ACSID-11 involved forward translation, back translation, and expert panel discussions. This research involved… More >

Abstract Objectives: Differentiating benign from malignant testicular lesions is essential to avoid unnecessary surgery and ensure timely intervention. While conventional ultrasound remains the first-line imaging method, elastography and MRI provide additional functional and structural information. This study assesses the diagnostic utility of testicular elastography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in differentiating benign and malignant testicular lesions. Methods: Patients with sonographically detected testicular masses were retrospectively evaluated using elastography, scrotal MRI, and tumor markers. Quantitative and qualitative imaging findings, lesion size, and laboratory values were recorded. Statistical analyses included Fisher’s exact test, logistic regression, Receiver operating characteristic… More >

Abstract Introduction: Despite the diagnostic value of intracavernosal injections (ICI) and penile Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), there remain barriers to widespread clinical adaptation of these methods. The study aimed to evaluate the practice patterns of utilization of ICI and PDUS in the assessment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and Peyronie’s disease (PD). Methods: Using the TriNetX database (Cambridge, MA, USA), adult (≥18 years) male patients with a diagnosis of ED on oral phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors were identified. Current Procedural Terminology codes were utilized to identify patients who underwent further evaluation with ICI or PDUS, as well as penile… More >
