Congenital muscular dystrophies (CMDs) are a heterogeneous group of genetic neuromuscular disorders. They usually occur at birth or in early childhood, with delayed acquisition of motor milestones, and diffuse muscle weakness. A dystrophic pattern is...

Domain-generalized few-shot text classification (DG-FSTC) is a new setting for few-shot text classification (FSTC). In DG-FSTC, the model is meta-trained on a multi-domain dataset, and meta-tested on unseen datasets with different domains. However, p...

In this research series, several sugar beet molasses of different osmolalities were inoculated with a mix of the following microorganisms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes, to develop mathematical models and correlations o...

Counterbalanced forklift trucks (FLT) are frequently used in combination with interchangeable equipment in order to handle loads in different manners. The main risks which may arise after assembling interchangeable equipment to a FLT are related to t...

Mechanical methods of tunnel excavation are widely used because of their high excavation output, and the selection of appropriate technology depends on ground composition and project-related features. Compared with tunnel boring machines (TBMs) and r...

Microalgae harvesting by coagulation can use coagulant agents such as alum, synthetic polymers or biocoagulants. Biocoagulants have attracted the attention of researchers because they are natural, biodegradable, and promote high microalgal harvesting...

Despite the many proposals to solve the neural machine translation (NMT) problem of low-resource languages, it continues to be difficult. The issue becomes even more complicated when few resources cover only a single domain. In this paper, we discuss...

Driver fatigue can be further categorized into passive fatigue and active fatigue based on the task-induced fatigue perspective, with its categorization necessary from a theoretical basis and practical needs. Passive fatigue is caused by mental under...

Software design patterns have a proven impact on the quality of software applications and the development process of an application. The success of design patterns in the software industry has attracted mobile game developers and researchers to apply...

Natural gas is cheaper than fuel on an energy basis, making it an alternative ship fuel which leads to a reduced operating cost and clean gas environmental conditions. The current study analyses the retrofit of an ageing multi-purpose ship to use liq...
