(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, direct intercalation of three different green ionic liquids (ILs) having different salt and cation sizes into bentonite interlayer is investigated. The ILs covered in this study are: 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ...
COVID-19 infection localization and severity grading from chest X-ray images
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2021 , Article)
The immense spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has left healthcare systems incapable to diagnose and test patients at the required rate. Given the effects of COVID-19 on pulmonary tissues, chest radiographic ...
Detection and severity classification of COVID-19 in CT images using deep learning
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Detecting COVID-19 at an early stage is essential to reduce the mortality risk of the patients. In this study, a cascaded system is proposed to segment the lung, detect, localize, and quantify COVID-19 infections from ...
