Unknown thrust degrades space-target tracking, while laser ranging consumes measurement time. We study the trade-off between ranging occupancy, average tracking error, and transient error using optical alerts, adaptive estimation, and guarded ranging...

Background: Kidney transplant recipients carry a substantially increased risk of malignancy. Ionizing radiation from medical imaging is a recognized but seldom-quantified contributor to this risk. We aimed to characterize cumulative exposure to ioniz...

This paper examines the “Habermas Machine” (HM), a Google DeepMind system that uses large language models to generate consensus statements for groups in disagreement as a way of interrogating the digitally mediated public sphere. Although...

The relationship between the multimodal perceptual characteristics of traditional building materials and material-level place meaning remains unclear. Existing research largely focuses on the immediate perception of materials and lacks a framework fo...

The use of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery for crop monitoring is constrained by its native spatial resolution. To address this limitation, data fusion-based super-resolution techniques have emerged as a promising approach for generating imagery with en...

As a benthic inhabitant of coastal sediment habitats, Tachypleus tridentatus encounters fluctuating environmental conditions and diverse microorganisms and viruses, including WSSV. However, its molecular responses to white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)...
