The respiration rate (RR) is the most vital parameter used for the determination of human health. The most widely adopted techniques, used to monitor the RR are contact in nature and face many drawbacks. This paper reports the use of Infrared Thermog...
BACKGROUND: The classification of benign versus malignant breast lesions on multi-sequence Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a challenging task since breast lesions are heterogeneous and complex. Recently, deep learning methods have been used for b...

Recent studies have suggested that the cognitive process of the human brain is realized as probabilistic inference and can be further modeled by probabilistic graphical models like Markov random fields. Nevertheless, it remains unclear how probabilis...
Mastitis in dairy cattle is extremely costly both in economic and welfare terms and is one of the most significant drivers of antimicrobial usage in dairy cattle. A critical step in the prevention of mastitis is the diagnosis of the predominant route...
Determining the number of factors is one of the most crucial decisions a researcher has to face when conducting an exploratory factor analysis. As no common factor retention criterion can be seen as generally superior, a new approach is proposed-comb...
