Quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (QUAVs) have attracted significant research focus due to their outstanding Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) capabilities. This research addresses the challenge of maintaining precise trajectory tracking in QUAV systems when faced with external disturbances by introducing a robust, two-tier control system based on sliding mode technology. For position control, this approach utilizes a virtual sliding mode control signal to enhance tracking precision and includes adaptive mechanisms to adjust for changes in mass and external disruptions. In controlling the attitude subsystem, the method employs a sliding mode control framework that secures system stability and compliance with intermediate commands, eliminating the reliance on precise models of the inertia matrix. Furthermore, this study incorporates a deep learning approach that combines Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network to foresee and mitigate trajectory tracking errors, thereby significantly enhancing the reliability and safety of mission operations. The robustness and effectiveness of this innovative control strategy are validated through comprehensive numerical simulations.

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, due to its high sensitivity and capability for real-time online monitoring, is one of the most promising tools for the rapid identification of external water in rainwater pipe networks. However, difficulties in obtaining actual samples lead to insufficient real samples, and the complex composition of wastewater can affect the accurate traceability analysis of external water in rainwater pipe networks. In this study, a new method for identifying external water in rainwater pipe networks with a small number of samples is proposed. In this method, the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) algorithm was initially used to generate spectral data from the absorption spectra of water samples; subsequently, the multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) algorithm was applied to process the UV-Vis absorption spectra of different types of water samples; following this, the Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) algorithm was employed to decompose and recombine the spectra after MSC; and finally, the long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm was used to establish the identification model between the recombined spectra and the water source types, and to determine the optimal number of decomposed spectra K. The research results show that when the number of decomposed spectra K is 5, the identification accuracy for different sources of domestic sewage, surface water, and industrial wastewater is the highest, with an overall accuracy of 98.81%. Additionally, the performance of this method was validated by mixed water samples (combinations of rainwater and domestic sewage, rainwater and surface water, and rainwater and industrial wastewater). The results indicate that the accuracy of the proposed method in identifying the source of external water in rainwater reaches 98.99%, with detection time within 10 s. Therefore, the proposed method can become a potential approach for rapid identification and traceability analysis of external water in rainwater pipe networks.

Mine flooding accidents have occurred frequently in recent years, and the predicting of mine water inflow is one of the most crucial flood warning indicators. Further, the mine water inflow is characterized by non-linearity and instability, making it difficult to predict. Accordingly, we propose a time series prediction model based on the fusion of the Transformer algorithm, which relies on self-attention, and the LSTM algorithm, which captures long-term dependencies. In this paper, Baotailong mine water inflow in Heilongjiang Province is used as sample data, and the sample data is divided into different ratios of the training set and test set in order to obtain optimal prediction results. In this study, we demonstrate that the LSTM-Transformer model exhibits the highest training accuracy when the ratio is 7:3. To improve the efficiency of search, the combination of random search and Bayesian optimization is used to determine the network model parameters and regularization parameters. Finally, in order to verify the accuracy of the LSTM-Transformer model, the LSTM-Transformer model is compared with LSTM, CNN, Transformer and CNN-LSTM models. The results prove that LSTM-Transformer has the highest prediction accuracy, and all the indicators of its model are well improved.

Estimating cognitive workload levels is an emerging research topic in the cognitive neuroscience domain, as participants\' performance is highly influenced by cognitive overload or underload results. Different physiological measures such as Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, respiratory activity, and eye activity are efficiently used to estimate workload levels with the help of machine learning or deep learning techniques. Some reviews focus only on EEG-based workload estimation using machine learning classifiers or multimodal fusion of different physiological measures for workload estimation. However, a detailed analysis of all physiological measures for estimating cognitive workload levels still needs to be discovered. Thus, this survey highlights the in-depth analysis of all the physiological measures for assessing cognitive workload. This survey emphasizes the basics of cognitive workload, open-access datasets, the experimental paradigm of cognitive tasks, and different measures for estimating workload levels. Lastly, we emphasize the significant findings from this review and identify the open challenges. In addition, we also specify future scopes for researchers to overcome those challenges.

Loop diuretics are prevailing drugs to manage fluid overload in heart failure. However, adjusting to loop diuretic doses is strenuous due to the lack of a diuretic guideline. Accordingly, we developed a novel clinician decision support system for adjusting loop diuretics dosage with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm using time-series EMRs. Weight measurements were used as the target to estimate fluid loss during diuretic therapy. We designed the TSFD-LSTM, a bi-directional LSTM model with an attention mechanism, to forecast weight change 48 h after heart failure patients were injected with loop diuretics. The model utilized 65 variables, including disease conditions, concurrent medications, laboratory results, vital signs, and physical measurements from EMRs. The framework processed four sequences simultaneously as inputs. An ablation study on attention mechanisms and a comparison with the transformer model as a baseline were conducted. The TSFD-LSTM outperformed the other models, achieving 85% predictive accuracy with MAE and MSE values of 0.56 and 1.45, respectively. Thus, the TSFD-LSTM model can aid in personalized loop diuretic treatment and prevent adverse drug events, contributing to improved healthcare efficacy for heart failure patients.

Thailand\'s hospitals face overcrowding, particularly with non-communicable disease (NCD) patients, due to a doctor shortage and an aging population. Most literature showed implementation merely on web or mobile application to teleconsult with physicians. Instead, in this work, we developed and implemented a telemedicine health kiosk system embedded with non-invasive biosensors and time-series predictors to improve NCD indicators over an eight-month period. Two cohorts were randomly selected: a control group with usual care and a telemedicine-using group. The telemedicine-using group showed significant improvements in average fasting blood glucose (148 to 130 mg/dL) and systolic blood pressure (152 to 138 mmHg). Data mining with the Apriori algorithm revealed correlations between diseases, occupations, and environmental factors, informing public health policies. Communication between kiosks and servers used LoRa, 5G, and IEEE802.11, which are selected based on the distance and signal availability. The results support telemedicine kiosks as effective for NCD management, significantly improving key NCD indicators, average blood glucose, and blood pressure.

To ensure the safe operation and dispatching control of a low-voltage distributed photovoltaic (PV) power distribution network (PDN), the load forecasting problem of the PDN is studied in this study. Based on deep learning technology, this paper proposes a robot-assisted load forecasting method for low-voltage distributed photovoltaic power distribution networks using enhanced long short-term memory (LSTM). This method employs the frequency domain decomposition (FDD) to obtain boundary points and incorporates a dense layer following the LSTM layer to better extract data features. The LSTM is used to predict low-frequency and high-frequency components separately, enabling the model to precisely capture the voltage variation patterns across different frequency components, thereby achieving high-precision voltage prediction. By verifying the historical operation data set of a low-voltage distributed PV-PDN in Guangdong Province, experimental results demonstrate that the proposed \"FDD+LSTM\" model outperforms both recurrent neural network and support vector machine models in terms of prediction accuracy on both time scales of 1 h and 4 h. Precisely forecast the voltage in different seasons and time scales, which has a certain value in promoting the development of the PDN and related technology industry chain.

Small Proteins (SPs) are pivotal in various cellular functions such as immunity, defense, and communication. Despite their significance, identifying them is still in its infancy. Existing computational tools are tailored to specific eukaryotic species, leaving only a few options for SP identification in prokaryotes. In addition, these existing tools still have suboptimal performance in SP identification. To fill this gap, we introduce PSPI, a deep learning-based approach designed specifically for predicting prokaryotic SPs. We showed that PSPI had a high accuracy in predicting generalized sets of prokaryotic SPs and sets specific to the human metagenome. Compared with three existing tools, PSPI was faster and showed greater precision, sensitivity, and specificity not only for prokaryotic SPs but also for eukaryotic ones. We also observed that the incorporation of (n, k)-mers greatly enhances the performance of PSPI, suggesting that many SPs may contain short linear motifs. The PSPI tool, which is freely available at https://www.cs.ucf.edu/∼xiaoman/tools/PSPI/, will be useful for studying SPs as a tool for identifying prokaryotic SPs and it can be trained to identify other types of SPs as well.

Due to the continuously increasing Cost of Goods Sold, the pharmaceutical industry has faced several challenges, and the Right First-Time principle with data-driven decision-making has become more pressing to sustain competitiveness. Thus, in this work, three different types of artificial neural network (ANN) models were developed, compared, and interpreted by analyzing an open-access dataset from a real pharmaceutical tableting production process. First, the multilayer perceptron (MLP) model was used to describe the total waste based on 20 raw material properties and 25 statistical descriptors of the time series data collected throughout the tableting (e.g., tableting speed and compression force). Then using 10 process time series data in addition to the raw material properties, the cumulative waste, during manufacturing was also predicted by long short-term memory (LSTM) and bidirectional LSTM (biLSTM) recurrent neural networks (RNN). The LSTM network was used to forecast the waste production profile to allow preventive actions. The results showed that RNNs were able to predict the waste trajectory, the best model resulting in 1096 and 2174 tablets training and testing root mean squared errors, respectively. For a better understanding of the process, and the models and to help the decision-support systems and control strategies, interpretation methods were implemented for all ANNs, which increased the process understanding by identifying the most influential material attributes and process parameters. The presented methodology is applicable to various critical quality attributes in several fields of pharmaceutics and therefore is a useful tool for realizing the Pharma 4.0 concept.

The ongoing transition within the Chinese economy assumes a pivotal role in shaping the landscape of the cultural and creative industries (CCI). Renowned for its environmentally sustainable attributes, coupled with high productivity, CCI has garnered considerable attention across diverse societal strata. This study endeavors to delineate the determinants influencing the developmental trajectory of CCI, with a focal point on City A as the primary subject of investigation, juxtaposed against Cities G, D, B, H, and X for comparative analysis, leveraging developmental data from the year 2021. Initially, the study elucidates the conceptual framework underpinning CCI and its intrinsic significance in facilitating urban metamorphosis. Subsequently, the positive impact of CCI through deep learning and information management technology is emphasized, and a cultural and creative recommendation model based on LSTM algorithm is constructed. Through performance evaluation, the recommendation accuracy for cultural and creative projects reaches 94.74 %. A robust developmental assessment model for CCI is then constructed via meticulous factor analysis of pertinent influencers. Employing factor analysis techniques, the study identifies two primary determinants exerting sway over CCI development: sustainable profitability factors and cultural influence factors. Noteworthy among the factors influencing CCI development within City A are fixed asset investment, cultural industry financing, the proliferation of university-based research institutions, and per capita cultural expenditure by residents. Of these, fixed asset investment, cultural industry financing, and the density of university research institutions prominently impinge upon sustainable profitability, with a discernible impact weight of 0.738 in the evaluative framework of CCI development, thus significantly shaping its trajectory. Moreover, consumer psychological factors, particularly market consumption patterns, are observed to exert a discernible influence on CCI evolution. This study augurs fresh insights into the realm of CCI development, infusing it with renewed vigor and vitality. Moreover, it underscores the inherent interdependence and positive correlation among the various research factors, offering novel perspectives and methodologies germane to the advancement of urban CCI.
