MAINSTREAMING METADATA INTO RESEARCH WORKFLOWS TO ADVANCE REPRODUCIBILITY AND OPEN GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SCIENCE

Reproducible open science with FAIR data sharing principles requires research to be disseminated with open data and standardised metadata. Researchers in the geographic sciences may benefit from authoring and maintaining metadata from the e...

Vehicular ad hoc networks verification scheme based on bilinear pairings and networks reverse fuzzy extraction

Abstract Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs) have facilitated the massive exchange of real-time traffic and weather conditions, which have helped prevent collisions, reduce accidents, and road congestions. This can effectively enhance drivin...

Enhancing Communication Security in Drones Using QRNG in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum

This paper presents a novel approach to enhancing the security and reliability of drone communications through the integration of Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNG) in Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) systems. We propose a mult...

Terminology for "Elder Orphans" and Aging Well: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

A Secure, Intelligent, and Smart-Sensing Approach for Industrial System Automation and Transmission over Unsecured Wireless Networks

In Industrial systems, Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system, the pseudo-transport layer of the distributed network protocol (DNP3) performs the functions of the transport layer and network layer of the open systems interc...

Machine Unlearning: A Perspective, Taxonomy, and Benchmark Evaluation

Machine Learning (ML) models trained on large-scale datasets learn useful predictive patterns, but they may also memorize undesired information, leading to risks such as information leakage, bias, copyright violations, and privacy attacks. ...

Feasibility of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn Case Ascertainment and Assessing Its Impact on Prenatal and Postnatal Outcomes: Protocol for Observational Studies

BackgroundHemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a rare but serious condition caused by maternal-fetal red blood cell antigen incompatibility. In an affected pregnancy, maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies cross the placenta a...

Target reindexing and residual reconstruction enable reliable retrieval augmented few shot recognition

Abstract Retrieval-augmented few-shot recognition supplements sparsely annotated target classes with external visual samples, but open retrieval results may exhibit unstable quality, semantic mismatch, and cross-domain feature shifts. Direc...

TransCat: a hybrid CNN-transformer network with KAN for medical image segmentation

Medical image segmentation is a fundamental task in computer vision and plays an important role in clinical diagnosis and treatment planning. Existing methods are mainly built on either convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or Transformer-ba...

Collaborative Care and Everyday Planning in Care Counselling (CoPlan study): study protocol of a pragmatic randomized clinical trial and protocol changes to quasi-experimental evaluation during recruitment.

Monitoring the spread of a pathogenic insect on vineyards using UAS

Globalisation has contributed to rapid economic growth but has also exposed vulnerabilities such as the spread of pests in agriculture. An example is the Popillia Japonica Newman beetle, introduced to Italy in 2014, which has caused signifi...

A Video Frame Prediction Method Based on Latent-Space Autoregressive Modeling

Video prediction is a fundamental task in computer vision with broad applications in intelligent robotics, autonomous driving, and related fields. However, existing methods often struggle to simultaneously model long-term temporal dependenc...

The Temporal Investigation of Multimodal Elements (TIME) Study: protocol for an observational, longitudinal study to characterize the dynamic structure of molecular and digital data in older adults in stable health.

Fashion Meets Computer Vision

Fashion is the way we present ourselves to the world and has become one of the world’s largest industries. Fashion, mainly conveyed by vision, has thus attracted much attention from computer vision researchers in recent years. Given the rap...
