The invasive taxa of Prosopis is rated the world’s top 100 unwanted species, and a lack of spatial data about the invasion dynamics has made the current control and monitoring methods unsuccessful. This study thus tests the use of in situ spectroscop...
This article explores a potential exploitation of fully polarimetric radar data for the management of rubber plantations, specifically for predicting tree circumference as a crucial information need for sustainable plantation management. Conventional...
Generating tree-specific crop maps within heterogeneous landscapes requires imagery of fine spatial and temporal resolutions to discriminate among the rapid transitions in tree phenological and spectral features. The availability of freely accessible...
Reliable prediction of monopile self-weight penetration depth is essential for drivability assessment and installation planning but remains challenging because of nonlinear pile–soil interaction and limited field data. This study compiles recor...
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have emerged as a competitive alternative to conventional silicon-based photovoltaics for their inexpensive production, versatility, and reduced energy consumption. However, it is still challenging to accurately assess thei...
In developing countries, information on the area and spatial distribution of paddy rice fields is an essential requirement for ensuring food security and facilitating targeted actions of both technical assistance and restoration of degraded productio...
Background: The integration of multi-omics data, such as genomics and transcriptomics, into artificial intelligence models has advanced precision medicine. However, their clinical applicability remains limited due to model complexity. We integrated D...
In smart manufacturing, the injection molding industry faces a “data scarce environment” due to prohibitive physical trial costs. Processing recycled polypropylene (rPP) exacerbates this challenge, as traditional response surface methodol...
LNC (leaf nitrogen content) in crops is significant for diagnosing the crop growth status and guiding fertilization decisions. Currently, UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) remote sensing has played an important role in estimating the nitrogen nutrition...
The quantity of land covered by various crops in a specific time span, referred to as a cropping pattern, dictates the level of agricultural production. However, retrieval of this information at a landscape scale can be challenging, especially when h...
Preventing exacerbation and seeking to determine the severity of the disease during the hospitalization of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients is a crucial global initiative for chronic obstructive lung disease (GOLD); this option i...
The dimensions of material extrusion 3D printing filaments play a pivotal role in determining processing resolution and efficiency and are influenced by processing parameters. This study focuses on four key process parameters, namely, nozzle diameter...
Land cover information extraction through object-based image analysis (OBIA) has become an important trend in remote sensing, thanks to the increasing availability of high-resolution imagery. Segmented objects have a large number of features that cau...
Predicting the mechanical properties of bolted connection nodes in prefabricated Concrete-Filled Steel Tube (CFST) column–steel beam assemblies remains challenging due to complex nonlinear relationships, high degrees of parameter coupling, and...
Dissolved oxygen (DO) is a critical indicator for assessing marine ecological health and hypoxia risk. Most existing DO prediction studies rely on time-series forecasting models, which require continuous temporal observations and are often unreliable...
Background: Postoperative haemorrhage (POH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of thyroid surgery, with an incidence of 0.6–4%. Early identification of patients at increased risk is critical to guide perioperative managemen...
Banana (and plantain, Musa spp.), in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), is predominantly grown as a mixed crop by smallholder farmers in backyards and small farmlands, typically ranging from 0.2 ha to 3 ha. The crop is affected by several pests and diseases,...
Constructed wetlands (CWs) offer a low-cost and sustainable option for wastewater treatment, but their performance is commonly assessed through infrequent, periodic field sampling that yields temporally sparse records. This study evaluated whether fi...
Background: A short cervix in the second trimester significantly increases preterm birth risk, yet no reliable first-trimester prediction method exists. Current guidelines lack consensus on which women should undergo transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) sc...
Substation-level carbon-emission factors (CEFs) are operationally relevant because substations concentrate transformer losses, auxiliary consumption, and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) leakage at the interface between transmission and distribution. Howeve...
Dynamic characterization of calcareous (carbonate) sands is essential for performance-based design of offshore foundations, coastal reclamation, and marine infrastructure in tropical and subtropical regions. In contrast to silica sands, carbonate sed...
Traditional consumer credit scoring models frequently fail to identify rising default risks in transition economies because they rely almost exclusively on formal macroeconomic indicators and unchanging demographic data. This paper offers a prelimina...
