From Messy Country Names to ISO 3166 Codes: A Small Model That Abstains, and When a Lexicon Is Enough

Company registers and forms record countries as free text: in any language, misspelled, abbreviated, historical, or not a place at all. We present CountryCode-Decide, a 74.7 MB open-weight model (mmBERT-small with a country head and a US-state head, 8-bit ONNX) that maps such a s...

Acute anterior uveitis following eyebrow hair removal with 1064-nm Nd: YAG laser: two case reports

Abstract Background Laser hair removal using Alexandrite (755 nm) and Nd: YAG (1064 nm) lasers is a widely performed cosmetic procedure. dual-wavelength systems, such as the Candela GentleMax Pro, combine both wavelengths to improve treatment efficacy and versatility. Although ge...

Fabrication of superhydrophobic and superoleophilic copper oxide nanostructures without organic modifiers for oil–water separation

Abstract Superhydrophobic and superoleophilic hierarchical urchin-like copper oxide powders were synthesized by a facile one-step method without the use of low-surface-energy modifiers. The selective wettability of the powders toward water and oil makes them suitable for oil adso...

An adaptive federated deep learning approach for efficient DDoS detection in IoT edge networks

Abstract The rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) has expanded the attack surface of modern networks, motivating the need for accurate detection of DDoS and botnet activity in resource-constrained settings. Centralised intrusion detection systems (IDS) face privacy, scala...

Environmental enrichment affects growth and behaviour differently in head-started critically endangered freshwater turtles

Abstract Freshwater chelonians face severe extinction risk, and head-starting programs increasingly rely on captive rearing to offset poor recruitment. However, evaluating success by growth and release numbers overlooks welfare and post-release competence. We assessed head-starte...

A longitudinal Bayesian framework for estimating causal dose-response relationships

Existing causal methods for time-varying exposure and time-varying confounding focus on estimating the average causal effect of a time-varying binary treatment on an end-of-study outcome, offering limited tools for characterizing marginal causal dose-response relationships under...

A Conceptual Model of Digital Ecosystem-Based Circular Economy for Craft Industries Utilizing Renewable Natural Resources

The handicraft sector utilizing renewable natural resources plays a pivotal role in rural economic development and cultural preservation. However, conventional linear production models face severe market frictions, including upstream resource depletion, information asymmetry, and...

Integrasi Workflow Jurnal Keuangan Berbasis Website Menggunakan Analisis Pieces dan Metode Agile Scrum

Hospital financial governance depends on how well the journal approval workflow is recorded and traced. The desktop-based Financial Information System (SIMKEU) used by the hospital under study supports journal entry and posting, but examination, approval, and endorsement are stil...

Hardware-Assisted Intrusion Detection System for Automotive Embedded ECUs

Modern automotive systems progressively rely on Electronic Control Units (ECUs) to take control of vital vehicle functionality and are heavily interlinked on in-vehicle networks, e.g. the Controller Area Network (CAN). With the increased vehicle sophistication into a complex cybe...
