Surface Temperature Assisted State of Charge Estimation for Retired Power Batteries by Liangyu Xu, Wenxuan Han, Jiawei Dong, Ke Chen, Yuchen Li, Guangchao Geng

“…Specifically, our method achieves 64.3–68.1% lower RMSE than traditional electrical-parameter-only approaches (V-I inputs) across 0.5 C–2 C discharge rates. Results show that the proposed method reduces SOC estimation errors compared to traditional voltage-based models, achieving RMSE values below 1.04 across all tested rates. …”

Investigation of three alternative histopathological scoring methods at the invasive tumour front in colorectal cancer by Walaiphorn Woraharn, Ashley McCulloch, Christopher Bigley, Phimmada Hatthakarnkul, Kathryn Pennel, Peter Alexander, Hester vanWyk, Antonia Roseweir, Jennifer Hay, Noori Maka, James Park, Nigel B Jamieson, Joanne Edwards, Campbell SD Roxburgh

“…High scores with the Karamitopoulou and Taskin methods correlated significantly with adverse prognostic factors, particularly advanced T stage (p < 0.001), N stage (p < 0.001), and the presence of peritoneal involvement (p < 0.001). The survival rate of the TGP method demonstrated that patients with an infiltrative growth pattern had significantly worse CRC survival compared to those with pushing and intermediate growth patterns (p < 0.001) and the TGP method retained its independence as a prognostic factor in multivariable Cox regression analysis only for colon cancer‐specific survival (p < 0.001). …”
