Spatially Constrained Discontinuity Trace Extraction from 3D Point Clouds by Intersecting Boundaries Segmented

Discontinuity trace provides critical geological data for engineering design and construction optimization. However, current extraction methods relying on discontinuity intersection fitting are highly sensitive to the segmentation accuracy ...

Automatic Detection of Abnormal EEG Signals Using WaveNet and LSTM

Neurological disorders have an extreme impact on global health, affecting an estimated one billion individuals worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), these neurological disorders contribute to approximately six million...

An automated qualitative analysis of real-time systems using Timed Petri net and SPIN

Verification of real-time system properties using formal models can improve system design and quality. The Timed Petri net is a formal model for modelling and designing real-time systems with time constraints. Furthermore, model checking is...

A Fuzzy DEMATEL Application for Criteria Affecting Database Management System Selection in a Specific Problem Context

Database management systems (DBMS) are one of the basic building blocks of many software projects developed in technology companies. However, each DBMS supports different features. It is practically impossible and costly to try out all DBMS...

A deep learning recognition model for landslide terrain based on multi-source data fusion

The traditional high-level remote landslide recognition efficiency which relies on the artificial discrimination of geological experts is low. In this paper, an automatic landslide terrain recognition model based on deep learning is develop...

MacroSwarm: A Field-based Compositional Framework for Swarm Programming

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods and techniques for coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex global goals like pattern formation, collective mo...

Enhanced Deep Learning Model for Classification of Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography Images

Retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging is a valuable tool for assessing the condition of the back part of the eye. The condition has a great effect on the specificity of diagnosis, the monitoring of many physiological and pathol...

Volume Segmentation of Liver and Liver Tumor with Fusion of Multi-Branch Features

The overcomplete convolutional structure for biological images and volume segmentation is an excellent solution to the problem in which traditional codec methods cannot accurately segment the boundary regions. Although such methods perform ...

Integrative Approach to Teaching of the Circuit Design of Analog Electron Devices in the NI ELVIS Platform

Modern graduates need to work with electronic devices. On laboratory work, students conduct experiments to solve practical problems of researching real problems that arise in the design and operation of electronic devices. However, the shor...

A Rare Big Chinese Family With Thrombocytopenia 2: A Case Report and Literature Review

Thrombocytopenia 2 (THC2) is one of the most prevalent forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. It is caused by a heterogeneous group of ANKRD26 gene mutation and shows a heterogeneous clinical and laboratory characteristics. We present a big C...

Genetic analysis of suicide: a sample study in Tuscany (Central Italy)

Many studies have examined the genetic contribution to suicide. However, data on suicide in the Italian population are scarce. We therefore aimed to address this gap by investigating a cohort of 111 Italians for whom a verdict of suicide ha...

Identification and Functional Assessment of the First Placental Adhesin of Treponema pallidum That May Play Critical Role in Congenital Syphilis

Syphilis is a global, re-emerging sexually transmitted infection and congenital syphilis remains a major cause of adverse pregnancy outcomes due to bacterial infection in developing nations with a high rate of fetus loss. The molecular mech...

Causal relationship between genetic-predicted uric acid and cervical cancer risk: evidence for nutritional intervention on cervical cancer prevention

IntroductionThe relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and cervical cancer is inconclusive. This study aims to investigate the causal relationship between SUA levels and cervical cancer incidence, and to evaluate the potential role of n...

Monogenic obesity due to MC4R deficiency: lessons from a multigenerational case

Abstract Background Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most common monogenic cause of obesity, yet remains underdiagnosed. Patients with monogenic obesity often undergo a frustrating diagnostic and therapeutic odyssey of years...

Behavioral genetics, a primer

"Behavioural Genetics", fourth edition provides an overview of human and animal behavioural genetics that is designed to introduce students in the behavioural, biological, and social sciences to the field. With the addition of new chapters,...
