Background: Brain tumors can severely impair neurological function, leading to symptoms such as headaches, memory loss, motor coordination deficits, and visual disturbances. In severe cases, they may cause permanent cognitive damage or become life-th...
Spatiotemporal fusion techniques can generate remote sensing imagery with high spatial and temporal resolutions, thereby facilitating Earth observation. However, traditional methods are constrained by linear assumptions; generative adversarial networ...
The behaviour of the steel bar in concrete under cyclic loading has been evaluated using magnetic flux leakage associated with acoustic emission monitoring technique. Visual observation was used to observe the deformation of the beam under cyclic loa...
The surface mesh reconstruction from point clouds has been a fundamental research topic in Computer Vision and Computer Graphics. Recently, the Neural Implicit Representation (NIR)-based reconstruction has revolutionized this research topic. This wor...
Most foam core sandwich panels are sensitive to the impact load because of the poor toughness of thin composite face-sheets and the low strength of foam core. Superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires have been applied to enhance the impact damage...
In the medical field, 3D ultrasound reconstruction can visualize the internal structure of patients, which is very important for doctors to carry out correct analyses and diagnoses. Furthermore, medical 3D ultrasound images have been widely used in c...
Advancements in deep learning and availability of medical imaging data have led to the use of CNN-based architectures in disease diagnostic assisted systems. In spite of the abundant use of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction-based tests...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that targets the central nervous system (CNS). Statistics show that more than five million people in America face this disease. Several factors hinder diagnosis at an early stage, in particular...
