Vestibular-Visual Reweighting in Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness: A Multilevel Resting-State fMRI Study

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a disabling functional vestibular disorder characterized by chronic dizziness and visually and motion-induced unsteadiness that markedly impairs daily activities, yet it lacks objective neu...

A hybrid transformer–neuromorphic framework for robust pest detection in agriculture

Abstract Detecting pests in agricultural fields remains one of the challenging tasks due to the small size of the objects and occlusion effects. In this paper, Trans-Neu-Pest, a hybrid framework, has been proposed by integrating the Swin Tr...

AI-Enhanced CLIL for Embodied Learning: Applying the CLPS Framework in Secondary Physical Education

This study examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) through embodied, multimodal instruction in secondary Physical Education (PE). Drawing on Fernández Fontecha’s Content and Lang...

Multi‐modal broad learning for material recognition

Abstract Material recognition plays an important role in the interaction between robots and the external environment. For example, household service robots need to replace humans in the home environment to complete housework, so they need t...

Prediction of bank transaction fraud using TabNet—an adaptive deep learning architecture

The development of online banking has brought about an increase in fraudulent operations, which is a major problem for banks. This study delves into the urgent requirement for interpretable, scalable, and top-notch fraud detection systems b...

Unified Multimodal Information Flows for Immersive and Context-Aware 6G Systems

Communication is moving from being data-centric to being experience-centric and perception-aware with the advent of 6G wireless networks. Immersive applications such as digital twins, holographic telepresence, extended reality, tactile Inte...

Precision Microalgae: A New Conceptual Framework for Bioengineering Applications

Microalgae are promising platforms for biomass production, carbon capture, biofuels, and high-value bioproducts. However, despite significant advances in cultivation technologies, reactor engineering, and metabolic engineering, industrial i...

Insights into the entire building life cycle assessment (LCA): existing trends, challenges and prospective framework

Building sustainability assessment increasingly demands life cycle coverage that captures environmental burdens and trade-offs beyond operational energy, including embodied impacts and end of life (EoL) outcomes under circular economy (CE) ...

SSMSFuse: A Spectral and Spatial Multiscale Coupling Fusion Model for Hyperspectral and Multispectral Image

Hyperspectral image (HSI) has more spectral information than conventional images, which helps to distinguish targets in a complex scene more accurately. However, HSI typically has a low spatial resolution, which limits their application sce...

Generative AI: reconfiguring supervision and doctoral research

The uptake of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools has implications for doctoral research and academic publication practices within both construction management and the wider academic context. Unless these implications are under...

Natural Transports-Inspired Differential Semantic Communications: Intelligent Transceivers Carry Just Differences as Meanings

Communication is a fundamental process in the nature of interconnected entities. Conventional engineering models of information transmission and reception, namely Shannon’s bit communication and Weaver’s semantic communication...

Evolution of strategies in iterated games: a deep multi-agent reinforcement learning approach with hybrid genetic and CMA-ES optimization

The emergence of cooperation among self-interested agents in social dilemmas remains a central unsolved problem in evolutionary game theory, multi-agent systems, and behavioral science. While memory-one reciprocal strategies such as Tit-for...
