9+ min ago   (548+ words) The regulatory disparity in nautical chart carriage requirements between SOLAS and non-SOLAS vessels poses a systemic risk for maritime safety. This study analyzes maritime traffic and grounding accidents in the East Adriatic Sea to examine the empirical patterns associated with…...

37+ min ago   (406+ words) Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a powerful platform for quantifying nanoscale mechanical properties of cells, tissues, and extracellular matrix (ECM) components, providing candidate biomarkers for disease diagnosis, classification, prognosis, and treatment monitoring. However, the clinical translation of AFM-based…...

37+ min ago   (448+ words) The advancement of data-driven materials science is currently constrained by a fundamental bottleneck: the vast majority of historical experimental data remains locked within the unstructured text and rasterized figures of the legacy scientific literature. Manual curation of this knowledge is…...

1+ hour, 10+ min ago   (424+ words) Bucket runners are subjected to periodic discrete jet impacts during high-speed operation, yielding stress signals characterized by strong impact, wide bandwidth, and high non-stationarity, which demand high-frequency separation accuracy. Since VMD decomposition quality depends on the mode number K and…...

1+ hour, 56+ min ago   (550+ words) Specialty crop industries generate heterogeneous knowledge across cultivation, pest and disease management, post-harvest handling, quality control, and marketing, yet this knowledge is often dispersed across technical documents, web resources, relational datasets, and expert experience. Taking the jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) industry…...

1+ hour, 56+ min ago   (541+ words) Accurate detection of small, rotated objects in practical scenarios such as remote sensing imagery and autonomous driving remains a critical challenge. Existing methods often struggle to balance detection accuracy and real-time performance, and face limitations in capturing subtle features, fusing…...

2+ hour, 39+ min ago   (402+ words) Toxic language detection is an important task for online content moderation. However, existing models often associate neutral group-related terms—such as identity, regional, or demographic expressions—with toxic labels, producing false-positive bias in which benign texts containing such terms are…...

3+ hour, 32+ min ago   (379+ words) Deploying object detection models on low-power embedded devices requires a careful balance between detection accuracy, runtime performance, and energy efficiency, especially for aerial images that contain small objects. We present a hardware-measured evaluation of Edge-TPU-compatible detectors on an MCU-class NXP…...

5+ hour, 7+ min ago   (475+ words) Reliable detection of surface defects in hoist wire ropes is essential for the safe operation of hoisting systems. Because of the stranded rope structure, early broken wires and local scars often appear as weak, small-scale features embedded in repetitive textures....

5+ hour, 7+ min ago   (721+ words) Background and Objectives: Cardiology departments generate large volumes of unstructured free-text reports that impose substantial manual review burdens on clinicians; at Hospital de Santa Maria—Portugal’s largest public hospital—manual review of 12,651 reports took approximately seven minutes per report, representing…...
