Interface shear response of geometry and surface-modified 3D-printed geogrids in sand

Purpose Surface modification in the form of textures has been widely used in polymer sheets and geomembranes to enhance soil-geosynthetic interfacial performance by promoting frictional engagement. Despite the proven benefits of textures in geomembranes, surface modification conc...

Biochemical Investigation of PumG, a Key Pyridoxal 5′-Phosphate (PLP)-Dependent Aminotransferase Involved in Pseudouridimycin Biosynthesis

Abstract Pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent aminotransferases play a central role in nucleoside antibiotic biosynthesis, where they catalyze the conversion of ribose-derived aldehyde intermediates into aminonucleosides by introducing critical amino functional groups. Despite...

DAVis-Net: A Dual-Attention Deep Supervision Framework for Reliable Retinal OCT Image Classification with Integrated Explainability and Uncertainty Quantification

Classification accuracy in retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) alone does not establish whether a model is reliable or whether to refer to a specialist. To address this, we propose DAVis-Net, a VGG16-based architecture that is equipped with two Convolutional Block Attentio...

FLOWRRA: Flow Recognition Reconfiguration Agent

Abstract—This paper presents FLOWRRA (Flow Recognition Reconfiguration Agent), a novel flow recognition and self reconfiguring cognitive architecture that redefines the agent-environment boundary through recursive autopoiesis and retrocausal flow regulation. FLOWRRA draws upon an...

A hybrid water cloud model for leaf area index estimation using machine learning and physically based model derived Sentinel-2 vegetation descriptors

Monitoring crop health effectively requires robust and continuous estimation of Leaf Area Index (LAI). This study reports on the development of a hybrid Water Cloud Model (WCM) in which machine learning and physically based model derived Sentinel-2 vegetation descriptors are used...
