IntroductionWe address moral uncertainty in reinforcement learning (RL) by proposing a framework that integrates multiple ethical theories into decision-making. Existing approaches rely on single moral frameworks or hand...

Federated learning (FL) is a decentralized machine learning (ML) approach that can be used for intrusion detection in Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It involves the local training of AI models and their aggregation at...

Abstract In the era of intelligent systems and data-driven technologies, making precise and reliable decisions under uncertainty has become increasingly vital. The primary aim of this study is to tackle decision making (...

Moving towards a sustainable future, optimising energy systems and resources involves increasingly sophisticated decision-making processes that require balancing technical efficiency with societal, economic and environme...

Remote sensing enables urban planners to gain macroscopic insights into urban structures and issues. Pan-sharpening plays a key role by merging multispectral and panchromatic images, combining high spatial resolution wit...

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is frequently associated with metastasis, resulting in high mortality rates. Platelets are known to play a crucial role in the metastatic cascade influencing tumor microenviron...

Abstract The growing interest in the electric vehicles (EVs) has highlighted the significance of choosing appropriate battery technologies according to various competing and unpredictable norms. In the development of EV ...

Background: Extreme heat poses growing public health challenges, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. Assessing heat vulnerability at the county level is crucial for guiding adaptation strategies. Methods: A count...

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) and emerging technologies have converged to drive the remarkable development of intelligent systems. The interconnection of physical objects, sensors, and tiny communication devices ...

BackgroundForkhead box N1 (FOXN1) is the master transcriptional regulator of thymic epithelial cells (TECs), quintessential for T cell development. Well-defined biallelic FOXN1 loss-of-function variants lead to congenita...

Background: Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains a critical reservoir for the global tuberculosis (TB) epidemic, particularly in South Asia, where high population density and socioeconomic disparities amplify its...

Abstract The ability to monitor the safety of natural gas pipelines is guaranteed by leak detection. Systems are capable of responding quickly, and very precisely to events because delays during such events can lead to s...

IntroductionFlood risk assessment has become increasingly important in regions vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. This study addresses the need for a robust decision-support framework by proposing a hybrid multi-cr...

As a key element of human settlements and fundamental features in maps, buildings play a critical role in urban planning and environmental monitoring. Automatically extracting buildings from remote sensing images is of s...

Federated Prompt Learning (FPL) enables efficient collaborative adaptation of large-scale models, but it remains vulnerable to data heterogeneity: locally optimized prompts may become biased, thereby weakening the aggreg...

Aim: The aim of this study is to synthesize and characterize the more efficient photocatalyst [zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs)] via the addition of dopant lanthanum (La) and pineapple peel extract. Pineapple peel as a ...

Introduction and aims: Healing abutment dislodgement is a common clinical complication in dental implantology, yet its impact on peri-implant soft tissue immunity remains unclear. This exploratory pilot study aimed to in...

Abstract Multi-label chest X-ray classification faces three critical challenges: (i) inadequate modeling of inter-pathology dependencies despite clinical co-occurrence patterns, (ii) severe class imbalance (11.2−47.6...

Abstract Background Phosphatidylinositol transfer protein-1 (pitp-1) is involved in the phosphoinositide (PIP) cycle. The role of pitp-1 in promoting healthy longevity remains unknown. Our previous work showed that the P...

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Despite being a TB-endemic country, many pulmonary TB cases remain clinically undiagnosed and are detected on postmortem examination. ...

Background and objectivesMitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress are key contributors to the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Salidroside, a bioactive glycoside derived from Rhodiola rosea, exhibits neur...

IntroductionAssisted reproductive technology (ART) practice varies widely across centers and evolves rapidly, often outpacing the generation of randomized evidence. OPERA (Observational ProjEct for a Research database fo...

IntroductionAnti-amyloid antibodies have the potential to become the standard of care in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and large datasets from clinical trials allow the testing of predictive models on fluid biomarkers and f...

Abstract The use of artificial light is a common strategy in purse seine fisheries, particularly in Zone C waters off Kuala Terengganu, where it enhances aggregation of pelagic species. This study evaluated the effective...
