The Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools in Assessing Content Validity: A Comparative Study with Human Experts

This study investigated whether artificial intelligence (AI) systems could evaluate the content validity of B1-level English reading comprehension items in a manner comparable to human experts. A 25-item multiple-choice test was developed a...

Egocentric Hand Activity Video Dataset and Bidirectional Motion-Priors for Hand Action Recognition

Recognizing tool-based hand activities from a first-person view is a critical yet challenging task in computer vision, due to the complexity of hand-object interactions and often subtle, ambiguous motion patterns. In real-world manufacturin...

A Comparative Analysis of Supervised and Unsupervised Models for Detecting Attacks on the Intrusion Detection Systems

Intrusion Detection Systems are expected to detect and prevent malicious activities in a network, such as a smart grid. However, they are the main systems targeted by cyber-attacks. A number of approaches have been proposed to classify and ...

Image Segmentation Using Active Contours with Hessian-Based Gradient Vector Flow External Force

The gradient vector flow (GVF) model has been widely used in the field of computer image segmentation. In order to achieve better results in image processing, there are many research papers based on the GVF model. However, few models includ...

Artificial Intelligence in Architectural Design

Artificial intelligence is one of the methods in elaborating design, especially on architectural design.This method has been adapted to many designs, such as building complex, massing models.This study aims to determine the influence of art...

Cloud-Based Artificial Intelligence Framework for Battery Management System

As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) and smart grids continues to rise, so does the demand for batteries. Within the landscape of battery-powered energy storage systems, the battery management system (BMS) is crucial. It provides ke...

Integrating Merkle Trees with Transformer Networks for Secure Financial Computation

In this paper, the Merkle-Transformer model is introduced as an innovative approach designed for financial data processing, which combines the data integrity verification mechanism of Merkle trees with the data processing capabilities of th...

Early math interest and the development of math skills.

Prior models suggest that math attitudes and ability might strengthen each other over time in a reciprocal fashion (Ma, 1997). The current study investigated the relationship between math interest and skill both concurrently and over time i...

Quantized large language models in biomedical natural language processing: evaluation and recommendation.

Global impact of benthic denitrification on marine N₂ fixation and primary production simulated by a variable-stoichiometry Earth system model

Nitrogen (N) is a crucial limiting nutrient for phytoplankton growth in the ocean. The main source of bioavailable N in the ocean is delivered by N2-fixing diazotrophs in the surface layer. Since field observations of N2 fixation are spatia...

Comparative Evaluation of Radio Network Planning for Different 5G-NR Channel Models on Urban Macro Environments in Quito City

The 5th-Generation New Radio (5G-NR) network have been widely deployed around the world in the frequency range 1/range 2 bands. Once specific frequency bands within these ranges can vary across different countries and regions due to regulat...

Research on pH Value Detection Method during Maize Silage Secondary Fermentation Based on Computer Vision

pH value is a crucial indicator for evaluating silage quality. In this study, taking maize silage as the research object, a quantitative prediction model of pH value change during the secondary fermentation of maize silage was constructed b...

Investigation of Non-Isothermal Kinetics and Thermodynamic Parameters for the Pyrolysis of Different Date Palm Parts

Using the thermalgravimetric technique, we investigated the non-isothermal combustion kinetics of abundant and low-cost date palm wastes (leaflet, rachis, fibers, and their composite) as potential biomass energy sources. The kinetic and the...

Characterization of Surface Topography Variation in the Ultra-Precision Tool Servo-Based Diamond Cutting of 3D Microstructured Surfaces

Previous models of the relative tool-work vibration are not generalized to represent the surface generation mechanism in the ultra-precision tool servo-based diamond cutting (UTSDC) of three-dimensional (3D) microstructured surfaces. This i...

Structural Features Promoting Photocatalytic Degradation of Contaminants of Emerging Concern: Insights into Degradation Mechanism Employing QSA/PR Modeling

Although heterogeneous photocatalysis has shown promising results in degradation of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs), the mechanistic implications related to structural diversity of chemicals, affecting oxidative (by HO•) or reductiv...
