In recent years, advanced controllers, including Model Predictive Control (MPC), have emerged as promising solutions to improve the efficiency of building energy systems.This paper explores the capabilities of MPC in handling multiple control objectives and constraints.A first MPC controller focuses on the task of ensuring thermal comfort in a resi
Associations between selenium and cancer have directed attention to role of selenoproteins in the carcinogenic process.We used data from two population-based case-control studies of colon (n = 1555 cases, 1956 controls) and rectal (n = 754 cases, 959 controls) cancer.We evaluated the association between genetic variation in TXNRD1, TXNRD2, TXNRD3,
One of the greatest archaeological enigmas is in understanding the role of decision-making, intentionality and interventions in plant life cycles by foraging peoples in transitions to and from low-level food production practices.We bring together archaeological, palaeoclimatological and botanical data to explore relationships over the past 4000 yea
ObjectiveEarly identifying arteriosclerosis in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients could contribute to choosing proper subjects for early prevention.Here, we aimed to investigate whether radiomic intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) analysis could be used as a novel marker to indicate arteriosclerosis in newly diagnosed T2D patients.Metho
