Vision Transformers (ViTs), inspired by their success in natural language processing, have recently gained attention for heart sound classification (HSC). However, most of the existing studies on HSC rely on single-stream architectures, overlooking the advantages of multi-resolution features. While multi-stream architectures employing early or late fusion ...

Indexable face milling tools are often used to machine workpieces with large axial and radial depth of cuts, and thus, the inserts quickly wear out in machining. A kernel technique of smart machining is tool wear compensation, which is to regularly and automatically measure the insert radius/length with a laser tool setter on the machine table during mach ...

Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease, has previously shown to be associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture. However, it remains unclear whether AAC is associated with trabecular bone score (TBS), a gray-level textural measure, or w ...

Objective: A parent's ability to self-regulate influences parenting practices. Child-related stressors may deplete parent's self-regulatory capacities. However, this effect may be moderated by the marital context within which stressful parent-child interactions are occurring. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between ...
