I think this more an example how black-box models are basically useless for clinical research. The authors aren't aware of any distinguishing retinal features between male and female eyes and the model itself has no explanatory power.

That would make sense only if Li-Ion batteries didn't have power densities north of 250 W⋅h/kg. Commercial battery cells used in vehicle sized applications, however, often do exceed this value. So even at a 20% loss due to tempera

While the research itself sound promising, the article leaves a lot to be desired. The use of units and their notation is horrendous, almost as if the author doesn't know even the first thing about SI units and their use: > 197 mAh
