Instability of Langmuir-beam waves: Kappa-distributed electrons
(
American Institute of Physics Inc.
, 2023 , Article)
In space plasmas, electron populations exhibit non-equilibrium velocity distributions with high-energy tails that are reproduced by the Kappa power-laws and contrast with the Maxwellian distributions often used in theoretical ...
Mitigating soil water deficit using organic waste compost and commercial water retainer: a comparative study under semiarid conditions
(
Springer Nature
, 2023 , Article)
Semiarid regions have particularly been confronted with climate change effects reflected by the consistent decrease of rainfall and increase of evapotranspiration. This drought stress constitutes the main constraint for ...
Recycling of gas-to-liquid sludge as a potential organic amendment: Effect on soil and cotton properties under hyperarid conditions
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Gas-to-liquid (GTL) sludge is a specific wastewater treatment by-product, which is generated during the industrial process of natural gas conversion to transportation fuels. This least studied sludge is pathogen-free and ...
A Survey on Diabetic Retinopathy Lesion Detection and Segmentation
(
Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
, 2023 , Article)
Diabetes is a global problem which impacts people of all ages. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a main ailment of the eyes resulting from diabetes which can result in loss of eyesight if not detected and treated on time. The ...
Use of waste marble powder for the synthesis of novel calcium-rich biochar: Characterization and application for phosphorus recovery in continuous stirring tank reactors
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
This study investigates—for the first time—the synthesis of a novel Ca-rich biochar (N–Ca–B) and its potential use for phosphorus (P) recovery from both synthetic solutions (SS) and treated urban wastewater (TUW) in a ...
Face Anti-Spoofing Detection Using Structure-Texture Decomposition
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2023 , Article)
A key area in computer vision and biometric authentication systems is detecting and classifying face anti-spoofing. The novel method for face anti-spoofing presented in this paper focuses on color invariant methods. The ...
Enhanced computer vision applications with blockchain: A review of applications and opportunities
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Videos and image processing have significantly transformed computer vision, enabling computers to analyse, and manipulate visual data. The proliferation of cameras and IR equipment has facilitated the collection of valuable ...
Kappa-Distributed Electrons in Solar Outflows: Beam-Plasma Instabilities and Radio Emissions
(
Springer Science and Business Media B.V.
, 2023 , Article)
Electrostatic (ES) wave instabilities are assumed to be at the origin of radio emissions from interplanetary shocks, and solar coronal sources are most likely induced by electron beams, more energetic but less dense than ...
Emergent community architecture despite distinct diversity in the global whale shark (Rhincodon typus) epidermal microbiome
(
Nature Research
, 2023 , Article)
Microbiomes confer beneficial physiological traits to their host, but microbial diversity is inherently variable, challenging the relationship between microbes and their contribution to host health. Here, we compare the ...
LWKPCA: A New Robust Method for Face Recognition Under Adverse Conditions
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. (IEEE)
, 2022 , Article)
Over the last two decades, face recognition (FR) has become one of the most prevailing biometric applications for effective people identification as it offers practical advantages over other biometric modalities. However, ...
