Atmospheric correction is essential in remote sensing, as it reduces the effects of light absorption and scattering by suspended particles and gases, enabling accurate surface reflectance computation from the observed Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) reflecta...
This paper presents a novel framework for trajectories’ extraction and missing data recovery for bus traveling data sampled from the Internet. The trajectory extraction procedure is composed of three main parts: trajectory clustering, trajectory clea...
The extent of access to energy of displaced persons in settlements and camps on the African continent is largely unknown. A multitude of contextual factors, such as the location, the characteristics of housing, legal status, socio-cultural background...
Offensive language and hate speech have a detrimental effect on victims and have become a significant problem on social media platforms. Recent research has developed automated techniques for detecting Arabic offensive language and hate speech but re...

Household hygiene is critical to prevent pathogen transmission at the household level. Assessing household hygiene conditions and their determinants are needed to improve hygiene conditions, especially in rural and less developed areas where the hous...
Hazardous object detection (escalators, stairs, glass doors, etc.) and avoidance are critical functional safety modules for autonomous mobile cleaning robots. Conventional object detectors have less accuracy for detecting low-feature hazardous object...
The problem of gathering sufficiently representative data, such as those about human actions, shapes, and facial expressions, is costly and time-consuming and also requires training robust models. This has led to the creation of techniques such as tr...
In the last several years, deep learning has been introduced to recover a hyperspectral image (HSI) from a single RGB image and demonstrated good performance. In particular, attention mechanisms have further strengthened discriminative features, but...

A hygienic environment is essential to provide quality patient care and prevent healthcare-acquired infections. Understanding costs is important to budget for service delivery, but costs evidence for environmental health services (EHS) in healthcare...
This study evaluates the environmental sustainability of hydrogen production from high-calorific mixed waste gasification through a Gate-to-Gate (GtG) Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on operational data from a 2 TPD pilot plant. The Global Warming...
Generalized aquifers are widely used in various fields, such as groundwater use, mine water prevention and control, and geothermal energy. This paper presents a transformer-model-based automatic aquifer generalization method using borehole logs in sc...
The northern coast of Mauritania presents a strategic opportunity for clean energy investment due to its remarkable potential for green hydrogen production through wind energy. To determine the best location for wind-based green hydrogen production,...
The utilization of urban land use maps can reveal the patterns of human behavior through the extraction of the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of urban land use. Remote sensing that holds detailed and abundant information on spectral, t...
Sentiment classification plays a crucial role in analyzing customer feedback to identify market trends, enhance product recommendations, and improve customer satisfaction. This study focuses on sentiment analysis of Amazon reviews using two major dat...
The mitigating effects of straw burning bans on air pollution are widely known; however, their effects on indoor air pollution are generally ignored. Cooking fuel use is an important factor that affects indoor air quality. However, the debate over th...
Access to clean and sustainable energy technologies is critical for all nations, particularly developing countries in Africa. Ghana has committed to ambitious greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, aiming for 10% and 20% variable renewable energy...
To address the computational redundancy, inadequate multi-scale feature capture, and poor noise robustness of traditional deep networks used for bearing vibration and acoustic signal feature extraction, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method ba...
In light of climate change and global commitments, a great amount of programs and policies have been implemented by governments targeting the diffusion of renewable energy technologies. Successful diffusion relies on the understanding, persuasion and...
The exponential growth of network traffic and the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks have underscored the need for intelligent and real-time Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Traditional flow-based IDS models typically analyze each network fl...
Objective: This study aimed to explore the acute neurophysiological effects of a single oral dose of Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) on EEG-measured brain oscillations and cognitive-relevant spectral markers in healthy young adults. Methods: Twenty healthy...
To safely protect workplaces and the workforce during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, a scalable integrated sensing solution is required in order to offer real-time situational awareness and early warnings for decision-makers. However, an informatio...
Swarm Robotics (SR) is a relatively new field, inspired by the collective intelligence of social insects. It involves using local rules to control and coordinate large groups (swarms) of relatively simple physical robots. Important tasks that robot s...
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells (PEMFCs/DMFCs) are vital clean energy technologies, yet their adoption is hindered by limitations in industry-standard PFSA membranes. PFSA degrades above 80 °C, suffers substantial meth...
Traffic inspection (TraffIns) work in this article is positioned as a specific module of road traffic with its primary function oriented towards monitoring and sustainably controlling safe traffic and the execution of significant events within a part...
This study focuses on human awareness, a critical component in human–robot interaction, particularly within agricultural environments where interactions are enriched by complex contextual information. The main objective is identifying human act...
The construction of marine ranching is a crucial component of China’s Blue Granary strategy, yet the fragmented knowledge system in marine ranching equipment impedes intelligent management and operational efficiency. This study proposes the fir...
Climate change is a serious threat to the livelihoods of rural communities, particularly in mountainous areas because they are very sensitive to such changes. In this study, we assessed the household determinants to climate change adaptation drawing...
The increasing recognition of historical emissions and uneven financial capacities among developed and developing nations has highlighted the need to look for equity and fairness in global climate action. This study aims to present a revised method t...
