Summary: Electrified transportation systems are rapidly emerging worldwide, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and global warming. Battery remaining useful life (RUL) prediction is crucial for cost reduction and improving system reliability and efficiency. Existing prediction approaches for battery performance evaluation are unsatisfactory. This study aims to enhance prediction accuracy and robustness using selected machine learning algorithms.

Summary: In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been widely applied in various research areas. This study proposes the use of the XGBoost regression model to estimate the thrust of the JT9D engine. The model shows excellent performance with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.004845, mean-squared error (MSE) of 0.000161, and high coefficient of determination (R-2) values for training, validation, and testing subsets. The sensitivity analysis helps identify the optimal values for the model parameters, and a comparison with a previous study demonstrates significant improvement with a very low MSE value of 0.000021.

Summary: In this article, we develop an asymptotic analysis to derive the distribution of RandNLA sampling estimators for the least-squares problem. We show that the sampling estimator is asymptotically normally distributed under mild regularity conditions and is asymptotically unbiased in both full sample approximation and model parameter inference settings. Based on our asymptotic analysis, we identify optimal sampling probabilities using two criteria and propose several new optimal sampling probability distributions. Our theoretical and empirical results provide insights on the role of leverage in the sampling process and demonstrate improvements over existing methods.

Summary: The Kalman filter relies on accurate prior knowledge of system model parameters, but in practical applications, pre-determined alternatives are often used for unknown parameters. This study explores how pre-determined alternatives for unknown initial state priors affect the performance of the Kalman filter, establishing a ranking of mean squared errors. Results suggest that the definiteness of initial state priors is critical in determining the ranking of errors, providing guidance for choosing pre-determined initial state priors.

Summary: Unlike conventional liquid electrolytes, solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) have gained attention in the domain of all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSBs) due to their safety features and better electrochemical stability. However, SSEs still face challenges such as poorer ionic conductivity and unstable physical characteristics. Machine learning has been used as a tool to predict new SSEs with improved properties for ASSBs.

Summary: A novel ternary mixture of groundnut de-oiled cake, corn gluten meal, and soybean meal was used to enhance L-asparaginase production. The mixture composition of 49.0% soybean meal, 31.5% groundnut de-oiled cake, and 19.5% corn gluten meal was found to be optimum. The maximum L-asparaginase activity of 141.45 +/- 5.24 IU/gds was achieved under specific physical process conditions.

Summary: As science becomes more interdisciplinary, standardized practices in model evaluation are crucial. While mean squared error (MSE) is an ideal objective measure of model performance for normally distributed data, it lacks insight into specific aspects of model performance. Decomposing MSE into interpretable components is proposed as a better approach for model benchmarking and interpretation, allowing for a more detailed analysis of model performance.

Summary: This paper suggests improving the performance of Deep Learning Long Short-Term Memory (DLLSTM) structures by using robust loss functions and creating new classification layers. The effectiveness of the suggested DLLSTM classifier was examined using three loss functions (Crossentropy, MAE, SSE) for two different applications. The results show that the suggested classifier with SSE loss function outperforms others and the suggested activation functions are more accurate than the tanh function.

Summary: Data splitting is an essential step in machine learning for good model generalization. The novel support points-based split method shows promising results compared to conventional methods, but has not been widely used in soil-based research. Both split methods yield comparable test RMSE results, with the novel method being more reliable and robust due to its iterative approach and use of control points for optimal data partitioning.

Summary: In recent years, the application of plant tissue culture protocols for aquatic plants has become popular in the aquarium industry to produce cost-effective plants. This study optimized the in vitro regeneration protocol for two different hydrophytes, Hemianthus callitrichoides and Riccia fluitans, by adjusting the basal medium, sucrose, agar, and plant growth regulator concentration. The results showed that the largest clumps were obtained without any plant growth regulators in the basal medium. The developed protocols have promising outcomes for large-scale production of H. callitrichoides and R. fluitans in the local aquarium industry.
