The rapid growth of cities and their populations in recent years has resulted in significant tidal passenger flow characteristics, primarily manifested in the imbalance of passenger numbers in both directions. This imbalance often leads to a shortage...
To achieve full autonomy of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), obstacle detection and avoidance are indispensable parts of visual recognition systems. In particular, detecting transmission lines is an important topic due to the potential risk of accide...
This paper presents a Decoupling-Centric Decomposition network for Low-Light Image Enhancement (DCD-Net). The DCDNet addresses two key challenges: (1) existing methods center on how to design the enhancement network and ignore the decomposition netwo...
Ventral hernia is a common problem in general surgery practice. Incisional hernia can develop in 15–25% of patients after abdominal surgery. The aim of this study was to compare two different methods of incisional hernia surgery.
Materials and method...
In this study, we performed uni- and multivariate data analysis on the extended binding curves of several affinity pairs: immobilized acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/bioconjugates of aflatoxin B1(AFB1) and immobilized anti-AFB1 monoclonal antibody/AFB1-p...
With increasing attention to sustainability and energy efficiency in transportation systems, advanced intelligent algorithms provide promising solutions for optimizing urban rail transit operations. This study addresses the challenge of optimizing tr...
This study investigates the degradation of aircraft paint and its impact on aerodynamic performance, using the PZL M-20 “Mewa” aircraft as a case study. Paint samples were collected from both damaged and intact areas of the airframe and a...
Background/Objectives: In recent years, changing paradigms, both culturally and scientifically, have fundamentally altered the approach to the treatment of children with Disorders of Sexual Development (DSD) prior to reaching the age of legal consent...
Background/Objectives: Reported patient results after total hip arthroplasty (THA) have been described as a function of surgical approach. Such results have commonly been subjective. Though self-reported outcomes are of value and often utilized, incl...

The present study aimed to clarify the difference in physical activity (PA) due to sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults with long-term care insurance (LTCI). This was a cross-sectional study that investigated data of 97 consecutive community...
Objectives: Fluorescein break-up time (FBUT) is commonly used to assess tear film stability. However, the instillation of fluorescein destabilises the tear film, impacting validity and clinical applicability, while the subjective nature and variation...
Introduction: Post-operative rehabilitation following rotator cuff tear repair (RCR) is important to promote tendon healing, restore strength, and recover normal function. Aquatic therapy in hot water allows body relaxation, which promotes patient co...
The aim of this study was to investigate the value of 3D Statistical Shape Modelling for orthognathic surgery planning. The goal was to objectify shape variations in the orthognathic population and differences between male and female patients by mean...
I extend to the case of complex matrices, rather than the case of real matrices as in a prior study, a method of iterating the operation of an “inflating random matrix” onto a state vector to describe complex growing systems. I show that...
Optical quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a frequently used technique to recover biological cells with high contrast in biology and life science for cell detection and analysis. However, the quantitative phase information is difficult to directly o...
LiDAR point clouds are significantly impacted by snow in driving scenarios, introducing scattered noise points and phantom objects, thereby compromising the perception capabilities of autonomous driving systems. Current effective methods for removing...
Background and Objectives: For using appropriate goal-directed fluid therapy during the surgical conditions of pneumoperitoneum in the reverse Trendelenburg position, we investigated the predictability of various hemodynamic parameters for fluid resp...
Transition metal based high entropy alloys (HEAs) are often used in electrocatalytic (water electrolysis) applications due to the synergistic effect operating among its constituent elements and unpaired electrons in d orbitals of the concerned metal....
Objectives: To explore the feasibility of time-dependent diffusion in clinical applications of breast MRI, as well as the capacity of quantitative microstructural mapping for characterizing the cellular properties in malignant and benign breast tumor...
(1) Objective: As light propagates through water, it undergoes significant attenuation and scattering, causing underwater images to experience color distortion and exhibit a bluish or greenish tint. Additionally, suspended particles in the water furt...
The agri-food sector generates substantial quantities of waste material on farm and during the processing of these commodities, creating serious social and environmental problems. However, these wastes can be resources of raw material for the product...

Objectives: The shock index (SI) and its derivations, the modified shock index (MSI) and the age shock index (Age SI), have been used to identify trauma patients with unstable hemodynamic status. The aim of this study was to evaluate their use in pre...
Introduction: Lung ultrasound (LUS) is widely used in clinical practice for identifying interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and assessing their progression. Although high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) remains the gold standard for evaluating th...
