The ability to predict or anticipate musical events contributes to music-related pleasure and memory; however, their contributions to learning to play a melody have been less well-explored. In this study, we investigated how musical predictability and pleasure influenced how nonmusicians learned to play short melodies, as well as post-learning recall. P ...

Real-time dynamic imaging of microbubbles is crucial for understanding their microscale biophysical interactions and advancing ultrasound therapy. Despite progress in time-resolved optical imaging, existing techniques still face trade-offs between acquisition speed, spatial resolution, affordability, and system complexity. Here, we introduce compressed ...

Given the high prevalence of psychological distress among vocational training (VT) students, this study aimed to assess the role of interpersonal emotional competence as a resilience factor promoting the educational success of this population. We postulated that emotional competence would promote educational success, both directly and indirectly by fost ...

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based meth ...

Background: Sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD), a measure of visceral adiposity, has been linked to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). However, the relationship between SAD and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker of subclinical vascular disease, and whether they independently ...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the few cancers that have an established dysplasia-carcinoma sequence that benefits from screening. Everyone over 50 years of age in Canada is eligible for CRC screening. About 20% of those people will undergo a biopsy for a pre-neoplastic polyp and, in many cases, multiple polyps. As such, these polyp biopsies make up ...

This work implements deep learning models to capture non-linear and complex data behavior in aluminum price data. Deep learning models include the long short-term memory (LSTM) and deep feedforward neural networks (FFNN). The support vector regression (SVR) is employed as a base model for comparison. Each predictive model is tuned by using two different ...

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key indicator of crop growth and development and is widely used in both agricultural research and precision farming applications. PlanetScope imagery is generally used for monitoring crop growth due to its high revisit frequency, broad spatial coverage, and cost-effective access to consistent high-resolution multispectral data ...

Control theory underpins the stabilization of dynamic systems, including cardiac tissue, where disruptions in electrical conduction cause arrhythmias. Current treatments either act rapidly but without precision or deliver targeted interventions that cannot adapt in real time. We present an inte ...

Computational pathology (CPath) leverages histopathology images to enhance diagnostic precision and reproducibility in clinical pathology. However, publicly available datasets for CPath that are annotated with extensive histological tissue type (HTT) taxonomies at a granular level remain scarce ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly integrated into Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) research; however, the field remains fragmented with substantial variation in modeling objectives. This review provides one of the most comprehensive and detailed syntheses to date of AI/ML methods across the PFAS contaminat ...
