'Shaoen Wu' 'Periklis Chatzimisios' 'Jinbo Xiong' 'Mahmoud Daneshmand'] The increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber attacks have posed significant challenges for digital financial organisations, particularly in quantifying their multidimensional impacts. These challenges are largely attributed to the lack of a…

The total impact of an alien species was conceptualised as the product of its range size, local abundance and per-unit effect in a seminal paper by Parker and colleagues in 1999, but a practical approach for estimating the three components has been lacking. Here, we generalise the impact formula and, through use of…

The pursuit of sustainability has catalyzed broad investment in the research, development, and deployment (RD&D) of innovative water, sanitation, and resource recovery technologies, yet the lack of transparent and agile methodologies to navigate the expansive landscape of technology development pathways remains a…

A new roadmap for quantitative methodologies of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is proposed, using an ecosystem-based approach. EIA recommendations are currently based on case-by-case rankings, distant from statistical methodologies, and based on ecological ideas that lack proof of generality or predictive…

Correct quantification of transcript expression is essential to understand the functional products of the genome in different physiological conditions and developmental stages. Recently, the development of high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) allows the researchers to perform transcriptome analysis for the…

We decomposed density functional theory charge densities of 53 nitroaromatic molecules into atom-centered electric multipoles using the distributed multipole analysis that provides a detailed picture of the molecular electronic structure. Three electric multipoles, ∑▒〖Q_0 (NO_2)〗 (the charge of the nitro groups)…

'Davide Fucci' 'Michael Unterkalmsteiner'] High-quality requirements minimize the risk of propagating defects to later stages of the software development life cycle. Achieving a sufficient level of quality is a major goal of requirements engineering. This requires a clear definition and understanding of requirements…

The success of intervention projects in ecological systems depends not only on the quality of management technologies, but also patterns of adoption among land managers. Impact network analysis (INA) is a new framework for evaluating the likely success of regional interventions before, during, and after projects, for…

Quantification represents the problem of predicting class distributions in a dataset. It also represents a growing research field in supervised machine learning, for which a large variety of different algorithms has been proposed in recent years. However, a comprehensive empirical comparison of quantification methods…

RNA sequencing is currently the method of choice for genome-wide profiling of gene expression. A popular approach to quantify expression levels of genes from RNA-seq data is to map reads to a reference genome and then count mapped reads to each gene. Gene annotation data, which include chromosomal coordinates of exons…

Early single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) studies suggested that it was unusual to see more than one isoform being produced from a gene in a single cell, even when multiple isoforms were detected in matched bulk RNA-seq samples. However, these studies generally did not consider the impact of dropouts or isoform…

'John Kools' 'Bin Chen' 'Robert Swain' 'Miriam Kelly' 'Tanja Popovic' 'Jim P Stimpson'] Measuring the impact of public health science or research is important especially when it comes to health outcomes. Achieving the desired health outcomes take time and may be influenced by several contributors, making attribution of…

—Cloud-native architectures are often based on microservices and combine different aspects that aim to leverage the capabilities of cloud platforms for software development. Cloud-native architectural characteristics like patterns and best practices aim to design, develop, deploy, and operate such systems efficiently…

Formulating effective management plans for addressing the impacts of invasive non-native species (INNS) requires the definition of clear priorities and tangible targets, and the recognition of the plurality of societal values assigned to these species. These tasks require a multi-disciplinary approach and the…

Policy and practice around protected areas are poorly aligned with the basic purpose of protection, which is to make a difference. The difference made by protected areas is their impact, defined in program evaluation as the outcomes arising from protection relative to the counterfactual of no protection or a different…

Specific Outcome Measure Used Authors: ['Peter F. Halpin' 'Joshua B. Gilbert'] This paper addresses the situation in which treatment effects are reported using educational or psychological outcome measures comprised of multiple questions or "items." A distinction is made between a treatment effect on the construct…

Fat quantification is relevant to detect hepatic steatosis, characterize potentially suspicious lesions , or measure muscle quality for sarcopenia diagnostics . With spectral Computed Tomography (CT) it is feasible to quantify fat in clinical routine CT scans . Opposed to tissue attenuation in Hounsfield units as an…

Plasma proteomics is used for a variety of applications including biomarker discovery, disease monitoring, and drug development. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) has vastly improved the breadth of proteins that are identified from samples; however, given challenges in reproducibility and translation, it is critical…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are emerging water contaminants with significant environmental and health impacts, posing challenges in water treatment due to their degradation resistance. This study reviews 10 papers on the sustainability of technologies for PFAS removal, revealing a critical literature gap…

Re-design in Business Process Management Authors: ['Finn Klessascheck' 'Ingo Weber' 'Luise Pufahl'] Given the continuous global degradation of the Earth's ecosystem due to unsustainable human activity, it is increasingly important for enterprises to evaluate the effects they have on the environment. Consequently…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pose an unprecedented challenge for US drinking water systems as new national regulations mandate their removal. While granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange (IX) resins are widely applied, their economic and environmental sustainability under diverse real-world…

Many evaluation methods exist, each for a particular prediction task, and there are a number of prediction tasks commonly performed including classification and regression. In binarised regression, binary decisions are generated from a learned regression model (or real-valued dependent variable), which is useful when…
