This paper analyzes, from a bibliometric viewpoint, those publications that relate COVID-19 and eye indexed in Scopus since the beginning of the pandemic, and it identifies the resulting main research lines. A bibliographic search in the Scopus datab...
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems divide documents into fixed-size chunks before indexing, a decision that the literature largely treats as a preprocessing convenience. This study shows that the decision governs a distinct failure mode, re...
Microbial fuel cells have undergone several modifications since their creation, mainly due to the different substrates that can be used as fuel for the generation of electrical energy. In this research, a deep and updated analysis of the characterist...
This opinion article refers to the “double rib contour sign” and to the rib index (DRCS and RI), to their reliability study results in the chest radiographs of a control group and to their validity study results. These two parameters were...
Cloud storage services allow users to efficiently outsource their documents anytime and anywhere. Such convenience, however, leads to privacy concerns. While storage providers may not read users’ documents, attackers may possibly gain access by explo...
In recent years, media attention has focused on artificial intelligence, particularly on chatbot services and generative intelligence. ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, was one of the earliest online tools and rapidly gained popularity. Users are indeed ex...
