Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been frequently detected in the aquatic environment and are regarded as emerging pollutants. The prediction models for the removal effect of four target antibiotics by membrane separation techno...
The shortage of available water resources and climate change are major factors affecting agricultural irrigation. In order to improve the irrigation water use efficiency, it is necessary to predict the water requirements for crops in advance. Referen...
Pneumonia, caused by microorganisms, is a severely contagious disease that damages one or both the lungs of the patients. Early detection and treatment are typically favored to recover infected patients since untreated pneumonia can lead to major com...
BACKGROUND: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising technique for non-invasively investigating the myocardial fiber structures of human heart. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been a major limit of cardiac DTI to prevent us from det...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported that the prevalence of depression and depressive symptoms was significantly higher than that before the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms and evaluate the i...
Segmentation of retinal fundus images is a crucial part of medical diagnosis. Automatic extraction of blood vessels in low-quality retinal images remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a novel two-stage model combining Transformer U...
For clinical treatment, the accurate segmentation of lesions from dermoscopic images is extremely valuable. Convolutional neural networks (such as U-Net and its numerous variants) have become the main methods for skin lesion segmentation in recent ye...
