Estimating the Intensity Equations for Rain Intensity Frequency Curves (Mosul /Iraq)

The relationship between the rainfall intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF) is widely used in water resources engineering in designing hydraulic structures, such as culverts and sewage systems, and for reducing and controlling floods. In...

Optimization Method for Classifier Output Repeatability Based on Siamese Networks

In industrial surface Quality Control (QC) scenarios, deep classification neural networks are widely used to classify product images for qualified judgment or quality grading. However, surface QC equipment equipped with deep classification ...

Modular multi-fidelity simulation framework for advanced sail-driven spacecraft control and dynamics in perturbation-rich regimes

This work presents a high-fidelity Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation framework for the development and validation of control strategies for sail-driven spacecraft operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The framework integrates NVIDIA Omniv...

A SAM2 and VLM-Based Automatic Radiological Reporting System for Pneumothorax Detection

Background/Objectives: Pneumothorax, caused by air accumulation in the pleural space, can lead to lung collapse and, if diagnosis is delayed, respiratory or cardiovascular deterioration. Most deep-learning studies on pneumothorax address cl...
