Identifying private pumping wells in a land subsidence area in Taiwan using deep learning technology and street view images

Study region: The Choushui River Fan, Taiwan. Study focus: Groundwater overdraft has led to not only groundwater depletion but also environmental disasters, such as subsidence and seawater intrusion in the Choushui River Alluvial Fan, Taiwa...

Deep learning and education for sustainability

Deep learning is a key strategy by which students extract meaning and understanding from course materials and experiences. Because of the range and interconnectedness of environmental, social and economic issues, and the importance of inter...

Dual-edged swords: a qualitative study of protective and risk factors shaping mental health among Chinese health professions students.

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...

Deep Learning-Based Approaches for Brain Tumour Segmentation and Classification

Brain tumours are caused by the abnormal growth of cells in the brain. This occurs mainly due to genetic changes or exposure to X-ray radiation. When the tumours are detected early, they can be removed via surgery. The tumour can be removed...

Machine Learning in Healthcare Communication

Machine learning (ML) is a study of computer algorithms for automation through experience. ML is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that develops computer systems, which are able to perform tasks generally having need of human intelli...

Bayesian machine learning-based method for prediction of slope failure time

The data-driven phenomenological models based on deformation measurements have been widely utilized to predict the slope failure time (SFT). The observational and model uncertainties could lead the predicted SFT calculated from the phenomen...

Identification of immune-associated biomarkers of diabetes nephropathy tubulointerstitial injury based on machine learning: a bioinformatics multi-chip integrated analysis

Abstract Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication of diabetes and has become the leading cause of end-stage renal disease worldwide. A considerable number of DN patients have experienced irreversible end-st...

Source apportionment and stochastic evaluation of soil contamination and human health risks of potentially toxic elements in Nangodi, northern Ghana

Abstract Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) is a critical driver of soil contamination in West Africa, yet quantifying the relative contributions of natural and anthropogenic sources remains a major challenge. This study presents an int...

Precise diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease based on sex-specific gray matter characteristics

IntroductionThere are notable sex differences in the gray matter of Alzheimer’s disease(AD) patients’ brains, but current evidence is insufficient to prove these differences aid diagnosis effectively.MethodsMultivariate analysis of variance...

Dissecting the dissection laboratory: Elements for designing a human anatomy laboratory: The Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS)-Anatomical Donor Stewardship (ADS) Committee, Lab Resources Subcommittee.

Benchmarking Supervised Classifiers for Concurrent Multidomain Dropout-Intention Attributions in Higher Education: Evidence from a Colombian Public University

Student retention analytics often treats withdrawal as a single outcome, although students may attribute dropout intention to personal, socioeconomic, and academic pressures simultaneously. We benchmarked nine supervised classifiers for ide...

An assessment of subject-comprehension and subject-command attained through digital learning platforms

Abstract A synthesized investigation, employing graphical and analytical approach, has been conducted to examine inadequacy of electronic education and limitations posed by transformative mode of learning from students’ perspective. Moreove...

Multidimensional Correlates of Childhood Stunting in India: A Spatial Machine Learning and Explainable AI Approach

Childhood stunting remains a major public health challenge in India and is influenced by multiple socioeconomic and environmental factors. This ecological study examined district-level correlates of childhood stunting, including Crimes Agai...

Knowledge-transfer learning for prediction of matrix metalloprotease substrate-cleavage sites

Abstract Matrix Metalloproteases (MMPs) are an important family of proteases that play crucial roles in key cellular and disease processes. Therefore, MMPs constitute important targets for drug design, development and delivery. Advanced pro...

Neural Networks for Machine Learning

In order for a digital neocortex to learn a new skill, it will still require many iterations of education, just as a biological neocortex does, but once a single neocortex somewhere and at some time learns something, it can share that knowl...

Applications of machine learning and rule induction

M achine learning is the study of computational methods for improving performance by mechanizing the acquisition of knowledge from experience. Expert performance requires much domain-specific knowledge, and knowledge engineering has produce...

Applying the Information-Motivation-Behavioral Skills Model to a Virtual Reality-Assisted Cognitive Health Education Intervention to Promote Screening Uptake: Qualitative Study.

Socio-Demographic Factors Associated With COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Among Middle-Aged Adults During the Quebec's Vaccination Campaign

IntroductionThe objective of this study was to characterize the combinations of demographic and socioeconomic characteristics associated to the unwillingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccines during the 2021 Quebec's vaccination campaign.Mat...
