Abstract Bloodstream infections (BSIs) cause >500,000 and >80,000 deaths per year in North America. The length of time between the onset symptoms administration appropriate antimicrobials is directly linked to mortality rates. It currently takes 2–5 days identify BSI pathogens measure their susceptibility – a timeline that contributes preventable deaths. To address this, we demonstrate rapid metabolic preference assay (MPA) uses pattern fluxes observed ex-vivo microbial cultures common...

Maintaining the quality of indoor environments in educational facilities is crucial for student comfort, health, well-being, and students' learning performance. Current environment maintenance practices building systems facility spaces often fail to include feedback from students exhibit limited adaptability their needs. To address this problem, paper introduces a novel artificial intelligence things (AIoT)-based framework predict multidimensional (IEQ) conditions. The proposed integrates...

Most of the existing automated compliance checking (ACC) systems are unable to fully automatically convert building-code requirements, especially requirements that have hierarchically complex semantic and syntactic structures, into computer-processable forms. The state-of-the-art rule-based ACC methods able deal with based on information extraction transformation rules, which inflexible when applied different types regulatory documents. More research is thus needed develop a flexible method...

A recessive single gene mutant, 7B‐1, in tomato was originally selected for its photoperiod‐dependent male sterility. The 7B‐1 mutant also has some pleiotropic effects including reduced light‐induced inhibition, i.e. de‐etiolation, of the hypocotyl long days (LD), increased seed size and weight, transpiration rate. These traits led us to investigate sensitivity exogenous hormones interaction these responses with daylength. In LD, but not short (SD), more sensitive than wild‐type (WT)...

Studies on seed storage of Chionanthus retusus Lindl. & Paxt. revealed an orthodox behavior, one which showed both desiccation and freezing tolerance. An epicotyl after-ripening dormancy was expressed in C. seeds by slow growth the shoot apex relative to more rapid radicle when were germinated at 30/20 degrees Although these exhibit protrusion, they must be after-ripened for another 8-10 weeks C order obtain normal growth. Removal endosperm, however, quickly stimulated cotyledon emergence...

One common limitation of all automated code compliance-checking methods and tools is their inability to deal with types building-code requirements. More research needed better identify the different requirements, in terms syntactic semantic structures complexities, gain more insights about capabilities limitations existing (i.e., which requirements they can automatically process, represent, or check, not). To address this need, paper proposes a new set features complexity computability...

Existing automated code checking (ACC) systems require the extraction of requirements from regulatory textual documents into computer-processable rule representations. The information processes in those ACC are based on either human interpretation, manual annotation, or predefined rules. Despite high performance they showed, rule-based approaches, by nature, lack sufficient scalability—the rules typically need some level adaptation if characteristics text change. Machine learning-based...

Automated code compliance checking has been implemented using a variety of different methods. These methods vary widely in terms automation level, expressivity, representativeness, accuracy, and efficiency. Although most the existing methods/tools are similar that they represent requirements form rules, semantic representation language/format use for rule from method/tool to another. One common limitation all these is inability fully types (e.g., too complex or require human judgment by...

Academic buildings serve important roles for college students. Maintaining a comfortable built environment can benefit the well-being of students and promote their performance productivity. The most common way maintaining is still highly manual reactive; example, adjust light levels when they have already had visibility issues. Existing Internet Things (IoT)-based efforts facilitate real-time collection analyzing indoor environmental quality (IEQ) data. However, failed to incorporate...

Biophilic shown potential provide benefits associated with emotional well-being, healing, cognitive performance. However, it is challenging identify impact biophilic on adults, mainly due overlooked misinterpreted preferences, perceptions, needs To address...

Existing automated code checking methods/tools are unable to automatically analyze and represent all types of requirements (e.g., that too complex or require human judgement). Recent efforts in the area augmented data analytics have proposed use templates facilitate analysis text. However, most these constructed such manually, which is labor-intensive. More importantly, it difficult for manually-developed capture linguistic variations building codes. research is, thus, needed automate...
