Vehicle detection in drone aerial views based on lightweight OSD-YOLOv10

Abstract To address the challenges of low performance in vehicle image detection from UAV aerial imagery, difficulties in small target feature extraction, and the large parameter size of existing models, we propose the OSD-YOLOv10 algorithm...

Predicting land use and land cover changes for sustainable land management using CA-Markov modelling and GIS techniques

Abstract This study addresses the significant issue of rapid land use and land cover (LULC) changes in Lahore District, which is critical for supporting ecological management and sustainable land-use planning. Understanding these changes is...

A Novel Construction Method of Bayesian Neural Networks Based on Multi-type Engineering Knowledge

Abstract In the field of engineering, the utilization of surrogate models to replace computationally intensive simulation software has become a widely adopted approach. However, when addressing complex engineering problems, the costs of sim...

Preliminary guidelines for empirical research in software engineering

Empirical software engineering research needs research guidelines to improve the research and reporting processes. We propose a preliminary set of research guidelines aimed at stimulating discussion among software researchers. They are base...

Case Study Research in Software Engineering

Based on their own experiences of in-depth case studies of software projects in international corporations, in this book the authors present detailed practical guidelines on the preparation, conduct, design and reporting of case studies of ...

Alterations in Hip and Knee Joint Contact Force Waveforms and Orientation Induced by Gait Modifications: A Case Study

Introduction & Purpose Idiopathic torsional deformities of lower limb bones can affect a patient’s gait pattern and joint health, while their cause remains unidentified (Koller et al., 2026). Abnormal joint loadings and the progression of ...

Incorporating genetic selection into individual‐based models of malaria and other infectious diseases

Abstract Introduction Control strategies for human infections are often investigated using individual‐based models (IBMs) to quantify their impact in terms of mortality, morbidity and impact on transmission. Genetic selection can be incorpo...

Hobbes and Kant: Materialism and Rhetoric

This article examines the subtle nuances of Hobbes’s and Kant’s perspectives on rhetoric and materialism, contextualising them within the broader framework of political philosophy. Despite both philosophers being critics of rhetoric, their ...
