BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, a condition marked by the decline of skeletal muscle mass and function, is prevalent in the elderly and closely linked to abnormal glucose metabolism, particularly type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia can increase the formation of a...
Biocatalysts like enzymes have proven to be faster and efficient in metal bioleaching from printed circuit boards (PCBs) than microbe-mediated bioleaching. However, studies on enzymatic metal bioleaching from PCBs are mainly confined to the shake-fla...

Material deposited on road surfaces, called road dust, are known to contain different toxic elements. According to particle size, there are different fractions. Particles with an aerodynamic size less than or equal to 75 µm are called silt loading. A...
PURPOSE: To develop a semi-supervised domain adaptation technique for metal artifact reduction with a spatial-frequency transformer (SFTrans) model (Semi-SFTrans), and to quantitatively compare its performance with supervised models (Sup-SFTrans and ...

Implantation of metallic instrumentation is the mainstay of a variety of orthopaedic and spine surgeries. Postoperatively, imaging of the soft tissues around these implants is commonly required to assess for persistent, recurrent, and/or new patholog...
. Metal artifacts severely damaged human tissue information from the computed tomography (CT) image, posing significant challenges to disease diagnosis. Deep learning has been widely explored for the metal artifact reduction (MAR) task. Nevertheless,...
The ecological risk assessment of metals in soils is essential for soil pollution management. However, regional soil heterogeneity and species diversity need to be considered when making these assessments. Therefore, an interspecies correlation estim...
