Application Of Open-Source Small Large Language Models For Finance Report Analysis, Tue Vu, Mark Austin, Marcel Tuijn Mar 2026

Application Of Open-Source Small Large Language Models For Finance Report Analysis, Tue Vu, Mark Austin, Marcel Tuijn

SMU Data Science Review

The rapid integration of generative AI in finance introduces both opportunities and challenges, particularly when analyzing sensitive data such as Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings. This study investigates the use of open-source Small Large Language Models (SLLMs), deployed locally through the Ollama and LangChain frameworks, combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for extracting financial insights relevant to index performance and reporting quality. Two key objectives guide this work: (1) benchmarking multiple open-source SLLMs for sentiment analysis, multiple-choice reasoning, and financial question answering, and (2) assessing the feasibility of locally deployed SLLMs for domain-specific financial queries.

Reducing Range Anxiety Through Predictive Modeling Of Ev Battery Degradation, Caleb Thornsbury, Christian Castro, Bivin Sadler Mar 2026

Reducing Range Anxiety Through Predictive Modeling Of Ev Battery Degradation, Caleb Thornsbury, Christian Castro, Bivin Sadler

SMU Data Science Review

Electric Vehicles (EV) range anxiety remains one of the top barriers for broader adoption. Range anxiety can be attributed to battery pack age and degradation over time. This paper plans to explore how to address this issue by creating a machine learning model that can predict degradation based on usage, temperature, battery chemistry, charging habits and exploring whether other factors tie into range degradation. This research will be using real world charging data along with lab tested chemistry data to build a model that can be chemistry specific for degradation. This paper will help perspective used-EV buyers learn about battery …

Angiotensinogen Gene Polymorphism In Iraqi Patient With Essential Hypertension, Ahmed Sultan Mar 2026

Angiotensinogen Gene Polymorphism In Iraqi Patient With Essential Hypertension, Ahmed Sultan

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Different genetic and environmental variables contribute to the complicated condition known as essential hypertension. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is thought to play a role in controlling blood pressure. In the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), the AGT is a protein that binds to renin to create angiotensin I, the prohormone of angiotensin II. It is angiotensin II (Ang II)'s precursor, angiotensinogen (AGT), that is responsible for its biological effects. The research took place between July 2022 and July 2023 at the Al-Diwaniyah teaching hospital and the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics in the College of Medicine at the University of Al-Qadisiyah in …

Association Between Aldosterone Renin Ratio And Response To Valsartan In Iraqi Patients With Essential Hypertension, Israa Mohammed Mahdy, Bassim I Mohammad Mar 2026

Association Between Aldosterone Renin Ratio And Response To Valsartan In Iraqi Patients With Essential Hypertension, Israa Mohammed Mahdy, Bassim I Mohammad

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

Damage to the heart and blood vessels, as well as to other organs and premature death, have all been related to hypertension, a multifactorial, progressive cardiovascular disease. The aldosterone-renin ratio (ARR) is a useful screening measure for secondary hypertension, which can be caused by primary aldosteronism. Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) are the most often utilized medications that influence the renin-angiotensin system. These drugs prevent the physiological effects of angiotensin II by binding to AT1R. Blood pressure can be lowered by inhibiting AT1 receptors, as this results in decreased production of vasopressin and aldosterone and subsequent relaxation of blood vessels. …
