Abstract In the current digital context, safeguarding copyright is a major issue, particularly for architectural drawings produced by students. These works are frequently the result of innovative academic thinking combining creativity and technical precision. They are particularly vulnerable to the risk of illegal reproduction when disseminated in digital format. This research suggests, for the first time, an innovative approach to copyright protection by embedding a double digital watermark to address this challenge. The solution relies on a synergistic fusion of several sophisticated methods: Krawtchouk Optimized Octonion Moments (OKOM), Quaternion Singular Value Decomposition (QSVD), and Discrete Waveform… More >

Abstract The rapid shift to online education has introduced significant challenges to maintaining academic integrity in remote assessments, as traditional proctoring methods fall short in preventing cheating. The increase in cheating during online exams highlights the need for efficient, adaptable detection models to uphold academic credibility. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of various deep learning models for cheating detection in online proctoring systems, evaluating their accuracy, efficiency, and adaptability. We benchmark several advanced architectures, including EfficientNet, MobileNetV2, ResNet variants and more, using two specialized datasets (OEP and OP) tailored for online proctoring contexts. Our findings More >

Abstract Image-based computational models have been used for vulnerable plaque progression and rupture predictions, and good results have been reported. However, mechanisms and predictions for plaque erosion are under-investigated. Patient-specific fluid-structure interaction (FSI) models based on optical coherence tomography (OCT) follow-up data from patients with plaque erosion and who received conservative antithrombotic treatment (using medication, no stenting) to identify risk factors that could be used to predict the treatment outcome. OCT and angiography data were obtained from 10 patients who received conservative antithrombotic treatment. Five participants had worse outcomes (WOG, stenosis severity ≥ 70% at one-year… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Radical cystectomy with pelvic node dissection remains the standard of care for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (MIBC); however, there is a growing interest in bladder preservation alternatives among the elderly population. Guidelines indicate that partial cystectomy (PC) combined with pelvic node dissection (LND) can be considered as an alternative in carefully selected individuals. Using the National Cancer Database, we analyzed the overall survival (OS) between PC with and without LND among octogenarians. Methods: We identified octogenarians with localized muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma (cT2-3N0M0) and urothelial histology who underwent PC with or without LND between 2004 and… More >

Abstract Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides cross-sectional and three-dimensional reconstructions of the target tissue, allowing precise imaging and quantitative analysis of individual retinal layers. These images, based on optical inhomogeneities, reveal intricate cellular structures and are vital for tasks like retinal segmentation. The proposed study uses OCT images to identify significant differences in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. Incorporating spectral-domain analysis of OCT images significantly enhances the evaluation of Purtcher Retinopathy. To streamline this process, the study introduces a Context Encoding Deep Neural Network (CEDNN), which eliminates the time-consuming manual segmentation process while improving the… More >

Abstract Performance enhancement of flat plate solar collectors is an endless research direction as it represents the most used solar technology. The enhancement could be achieved via design alteration, absorber-installed protrusions, and integration with thermal energy storage. The objective of the current research is to evaluate a compacted solar collector integrated with octadecane organic paraffin PCM (phase change materials) as a thermal energy storage medium. The investigations have been performed numerically utilizing ANSYS software. Thermal storage contains the PCM securely encased behind the absorbent plate of the collector in four packing containers. The investigations have been… More >

Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that disrupts the flow of information within the brain. It affects approximately 1 million people in the US. And remains incurable. MS treatments can cause side effects and impact the quality of life and even survival rates. Based on existing research studies, we investigate the risks and benefits of three treatment options based on methylprednisolone (a corticosteroid hormone medication) prescribed in (1) high-dose, (2) low-dose, or (3) no treatment. The study currently prescribes one treatment to all patients as it has been proven to be the most effective on More >

Abstract Retinal Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images, a non-invasive imaging technique, have become a standard retinal disease detection tool. Due to disease, there are morphological and textural changes in the layers of the retina. Classifying OCT images is challenging, as the morphological manifestations of different diseases may be similar. The OCT images capture the reflectivity characteristics of the retinal tissues. Retinal diseases change the reflectivity property of retinal tissues, resulting in texture variations in OCT images. We propose a hybrid approach to OCT image classification in which the Convolution Neural Network (CNN) model is trained using… More >
