Leachate is one of the main surface water pollution sources in Selangor State (SS), Malaysia. The prediction of leachate amounts is elementary in sustainable waste management and leachate treatment processes, before discharging to surrounding environ...
BACKGROUND: Increased systemic and local inflammation play a vital role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome. This study aimed to assess the usefulness of selected machine learning methods and hematological markers of inflammation in pre...
PURPOSE: Due to the low contrast, blurry boundaries, and large amount of shadows in breast ultrasound (BUS) images, automatic tumor segmentation remains a challenging task. Deep learning provides a solution to this problem, since it can effectively e...
Efficient and effective solid waste management requires sufficient ability to predict the operational capacity of a system correctly. Waste prediction models have been widely studied and these models are always being challenged to perform more accura...
With the high cost of the research assessment exercises in the UK, many have called for simpler and less time-consuming alternatives. In this work, we gathered publicly available REF data, combined them with library-subscribed data, and used machine ...
PURPOSE: In assessing the severity of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Simplified Severity Scale predicts the risk of progression to late AMD. However, its manual use requires the time-consuming partic...

This study systemically investigated the application of core/shell technique to improve powder compactability. A 28-run Design-of-Experiment (DoE) was conducted to evaluate the effects of the type of core and shell materials and their concentrations ...
Scale-invariant timing has been observed in a wide range of behavioral experiments. The firing properties of recently described time cells provide a possible neural substrate for scale-invariant behavior. Earlier neural circuit models do not produce ...
