Local Polynomial Estimator in The Nonparametric Model of Inflation in Indonesia by Abdul Aziz, Nur Chamidah, Toha Saifudin

“…Nonparametric regression analysis can be used to model inflation data that does not form a particular pattern. This study applies a local polynomial nonparametric method to model the rate of change rate in the inflation over a period considering two factors influencing inflation: the rate of change in the BI interest rate and the rate of change rate in the money supply from the previous period. …”

Insights from age-stratified endoscopic detection metrics support initiating colorectal cancer screening at age 45 by Majd Khader, Jorge-Shmuel Delgado, Rimon Artoul, Asher Shafrir, Abu-Freha Naim

“…Notably, the PDR difference between the 45–49 and 50–54 groups was not statistically significant (25.7% vs. 26.8%, p = ns), indicating comparable polyp burden. Carcinoma detection rates followed a similar pattern, with no significant difference between the 45–49 (0.29%) and 50–54 (0.29%) groups, while a substantial rise occurred from age 55 onwards (p < 0.05). …”

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX FOR FUNCTIONAL STATE MONITORING OF MOTHER AND FETUS by I. V. Tolmachyov, K. S. Brazovsky, A. S. Tsverova, V. S. Ripenko

“…At first stage the fetal cardiointervalogram (i.e. fetus heartbeat period and the distribution pattern of these intervals in time) was studied. Second stage was carried out to search additional criteria of fetal functional state assessment with placental insufficiency in the pregnant with hyperandrogenism in the third trimester.As result, it was defined, that parameters of heart rate structure at 32–35 weeks of gestation allows to assess the risk of functional disorders and development of fetus hypoxia with sensitivity Se = 80% and specificity Sp = 73%.…”

Analysis and Evaluation of Temperature⁃Resistant Polyethylene Pipeline Operation in Oil Field by Bing HU, Yongli PANG, Chunyan ZHAO, Fuyong HUO, Xin DU

“…To address the lack of specialized thermal⁃hydraulic calculation models for temperature⁃resistant polyethylene pipelines in oilfield gathering and transportation systems,this study conducted quantitative analysis on their hydraulic friction characteristics and thermal temperature drop patterns during oil transportation through field experiments.Based on multi⁃parameter experimental datasets,systematic investigations were performed to reveal the influence mechanisms of key variables including fluid properties, transportation temperature,rate of water content,and flow rate on pipeline pressure drop and temperature decline.For the first time,a calculation framework for the overall heat transfer coefficient applicable to temperature⁃resistant polyethylene (TRPE ) materials was established.Simulation model libraries were constructed using PIPEPHASE software,followed by comparative analysis of deviations between theoretical predictions and field measurements under varying boundary conditions.Through this process, friction calculation models and heat conduction models tailored for TRPE materials were selected and optimized,which provide valuable theoretical support for the process design and safety evaluation of TRPE pipelines in engineering applications.…”
