Integrating multi-source geoscience data with RF-weighted conditional variational autoencoders (CVAE) for porphyry copper prospectivity mapping: an application to the Ardestan district, Central Iran

Abstract Porphyry Cu deposits in the Urmia–Dokhtar magmatic belt constitute important exploration targets, yet the heterogeneous and multi-scale nature of geological, geochemical, and remote sensing data introduces substantial uncertainty i...

An Automated Image-Based Dietary Assessment System for Mediterranean Foods

Goal: The modern way of living has significantly influenced the daily diet. The ever-increasing number of people with obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases stresses the need to find tools that could help in the daily intake of the n...

Deep Learning-Based Land Cover Extraction from Very-High-Resolution Satellite Imagery for Assisting Large-Scale Topographic Map Production

The demand for large-scale topographic maps in Indonesia has significantly increased due to the implementation of several government initiatives that necessitate the utilization of spatial data in development planning. Currently, the nation...

Influence of a Deep Learning Noise Reduction on the CT Values, Image Noise and Characterization of Kidney and Ureter Stones

Deep-learning (DL) noise reduction techniques in computed tomography (CT) are expected to reduce the image noise while maintaining the clinically relevant information in reduced dose acquisitions. This study aimed to assess the size, attenu...

Synthetic Data Pretraining for Hyperspectral Image Super-Resolution

Large-scale self-supervised pretraining of deep learning models is known to be critical in several fields, such as language processing, where its has led to significant breakthroughs. Indeed, it is often more impactful than architectural de...

Cauchy non-convex sparse feature selection method for the high-dimensional small-sample problem in motor imagery EEG decoding

IntroductionThe time, frequency, and space information of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals is crucial for motor imagery decoding. However, these temporal-frequency-spatial features are high-dimensional small-sample data, which poses signi...

Does Emotional Labor Matter for University Teaching? Examining the Antecedents and Consequences of University Teachers' Emotional Labor Strategies

Following Grandey's integrative model of emotional labor and emotion regulation, this study examined the relationships between university teachers' reported use of various emotional labor strategies and some antecedents (i. e., perceived em...

The Microbiome Composition of a Man's Penis Predicts Incident Bacterial Vaginosis in His Female Sex Partner With High Accuracy

Background: We determined the predictive accuracy of penile bacteria for incident BV in female sex partners. In this prospective cohort, we enrolled Kenyan men aged 18–35 and their female sex partners aged 16 and older. We assessed BV at ba...

Prospective assessment of intraoperative renal perfusion with transit time flow measurements (TTFM) in deceased and living donor kidney transplantation.

Proactive caching in cloud and D2D assisted multi-tier cellular networks

Proactive caching in multi-tier cellular networks (MTCNs) is an efficient technique for alleviating heavy data traffic on backhaul links, thereby reducing content latency and increasing the overall cache hit ratio (CHR) and user satisfactio...

Key factors and serial mediation analysis of anxiety and depression among university students: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundAnxiety and depressive symptoms are prevalent among university students; however, their risk factors are unlikely to operate in isolation. Instead, they may be organized in a multilevel structure that progressively approaches emot...

Design of a Forest Fire Early Alert System through a Deep 3D-CNN Structure and a WRF-CNN Bias Correction

Throughout the years, wildfires have negatively impacted ecological systems and urban areas. Hence, reinforcing territorial risk management strategies against wildfires is essential. In this study, we built an early alert system (EAS) with ...

Life prediction model of feedback rod in electro-hydraulic servo valve

Abstract Metallic elastic elements serve as critical structural components in advanced electro mechanical assemblies, where cyclic loading induces progressive rigidity reduction. Within electro-hydraulic servo valves (EHSV), the feedback me...
