Building an analysis-ready geospatial dataset for Convolutional Neural Networks-based rural property valuation using LiDAR 3D point clouds

In Portugal, fiscal valuation of rural properties is currently based on the agricultural income obtained in the previous year, disregarding both the productive potential of the land and its market value. To address this limitation, we propose a framework in which rural property v...

The Potential of N ‐Benzyl Spiro‐Oxindole Hydantoins as Antileishmanial Agents Against Leishmania infantum

ABSTRACT Leishmaniasis, caused by protozoa of the genus Leishmania remains a significant public health concern due to the high lethality of the visceral form if untreated. Current therapies have important limitations, including toxicity and the availability of only a single appro...

Myeloma Elderly Prognostic Score ( MEPS ): A Proposed Prognostic Score Integrating Age, Renal Function, Performance Status, and Ultra‐High‐Risk Cytogenetics

Established disease-centered prognostic systems may be less tailored to elderly/non-transplant-eligible (NTE) patients with multiple myeloma (MM), in whom host-related factors such as age, performance status, and renal function strongly influence all-cause outcomes. We developed...

A multi-dimensional framework for measuring urban inclusiveness and crime using mobility traces: A socio-spatial study of Lisbon

Urban inclusiveness and safety are shaped by daily interactions between residents, visitors, and the built environment. Capturing these socio-spatial dynamics requires fine-grained data beyond traditional census or survey-based approaches. This study proposes an analytical framew...
