Saliency-enhanced infrared and visible image fusion via sub-window variance filter and weighted least squares optimization
This paper proposes a novel method for infrared and visible image fusion (IVIF) to address the limitations of existing techniques in enhancing salient features and improving visual clarity. The method...
Addressing global challenges: How does the integration of rural industries in China enhance agricultural resilience?
Promoting the integrated development of rural industries represents a crucial pathway for accelerating the modernization of the entire industrial chain and consolidating and enhancing agricultural res...
Tooth position prediction method based on adaptive geometry optimization
A multi-layer feature optimization Transformer-based tooth position prediction method is proposed to address the problems of difficult access to high-precision medical data and the difficulty of captu...
Vibration-based gearbox fault diagnosis using a multi-scale convolutional neural network with depth-wise feature concatenation
This article proposes a novel approach for vibration-based gearbox fault diagnosis using a multi-scale convolutional neural network with depth-wise feature concatenation named MixNet. In industrial en...
Improved physical performance in obesity-resistant rats compared to obesity-prone rats: Effects of different diets and metabolic analysis
Animal models, such as high-fat diet-induced obese (DIO) rats, have been used to understand its pathophysiology. These models reveal differences between obesity-prone (OP) and obesity-resistant (OR) p...
Correction: Transcriptomic changes behind Sparus aurata hepatic response to different aquaculture challenges: An RNA-seq study and multiomics integration
Chikungunya masquerading as dengue infection in Sri Lanka uncovered by metagenomics
Introduction Dengue is a significant threat to human health in South and Southeast Asia where patients are treated without diagnostic confirmation during outbreaks. This approach,...
Bayesian inference of a spatially dependent semi-Markovian model with application to Madagascar Covid’19 data
This article presents an approach to stochastic analysis of disease dynamics. We develop an explicit semi-Markovian model that accounts for spatial dependence, operating in discrete time over a finite...
Characterizing limit order books in call auctions of a stock market
Statistical and dynamical characteristics of stock markets have been extensively studied, providing a solid basis for econophysics and its application as “stylized facts”. However, most of those studi...
Research on asphalt pavement structure with cement treated large size macadam (CTB–50) base course
Cement-treated large-size macadam base (CTB–50) has a high modulus, high strength, and good durability, which can increase the paving and rolling thickness, reduce the base layers, and enhance the ove...
Reciprocal effects of conditioned medium on gene and protein expression of limbal epithelial cells and limbal fibroblasts in congenital aniridia
Congenital aniridia is marked by substantial inflammatory changes to the ocular surface. However the exact mechanisms of epithelial-stromal interaction are not fully understood. The purpose of this st...
Factors affecting the maximum outcome payments of social impact bonds
As governments globally seek market-based solutions to address complex social challenges, Social Impact Bonds (SIBs) have gained prominence in public policy reforms for their potential to align fiscal...
Planning trajectory for UAVs using the self-organizing migrating algorithm
Ensuring efficient and safe trajectory planning for UAVs in complex and dynamic environments is a critical challenge, especially for UAVs that are increasingly deployed in applications like environmen...
Relationships between fatigue severity scale (FSS)/ scale for mood assessment (EVEA) and clinical manifestations in spanish long-COVID patients
Aim This study aims to investigate the influence of fatigue and mood disturbances in Spanish long-COVID patients and to establish relationships between these factors and other clinical manifestations....
Association between shortened maternal and fetal telomere length and abnormal fetal development
A number of intrinsic, maternal and environmental factors have been linked to the risk of fetal developmental anomalies. In a previous study, we showed that telomere length (TL) was notably reduced in...
Enhanced uncertainty sampling with category information for improved active learning
Traditional uncertainty sampling methods in active learning often neglect category information, leading to imbalanced sample selection in multi-class computer vision tasks. Our approach integrates cat...
Research on the impact and mechanism of local governments’ land conveyance behavior on urban-rural integrated development—Empirical evidence from 281 prefecture-level cities in China
The land sale practices of local governments significantly impact urban-rural integration development. This paper utilizes panel data from 281 prefecture-level and above cities in China, using local g...
Sensitivity analysis of unsafe behaviors in the spinning and weaving factories: Exploring the association with burnout and resilience using Bayesian networks
Job burnout and resilience skills are factors that can affect safety performance in the workplace. However, the contribution of these variables to unsafe behaviors through various paths has not been d...
G91-deletion in βA3/A1-crystallin induces cellular and molecular changes in mouse lenses leading to congenital cataract development
CRYβA1-ΔG91 (βA3ΔG91) is a mutational hotspot in CRYβA1, which causes autosomal dominant congenital nuclear cataract in humans and mice. Previous in-vitro studies of recombinant βA3ΔG91 showed defecti...
