In the domain of intelligent transportation systems, the advent of autonomous driving technology represents a critical milestone, profoundly shaping the automotive industry’s evolutionary path.This technology’s core, particularly the algorithms facilitating driverless path planning, has attracted significant scholarly interest.This pa
Dynamic Range Across Music Genres and the Perception of Dynamic Compression in Hearing-Impaired Listeners
Dynamic range compression serves different purposes in the music and hearing-aid industries.In the music industry, it is used to make music louder and more attractive to normal-hearing listeners.In the hearing-aid industry, it is used to map the variable dynamic range of acoustic signals to the reduced dynamic range of hearing-impaired listeners.He
Deep Learning-Based Emulation of Radiative Transfer Models for Top-of-Atmosphere BRDF Modelling Using Sentinel-3 OLCI
The Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) defines the anisotropy of surface reflectance and plays a fundamental role in many remote sensing applications.This study proposes a new machine learning-based model for characterizing the BRDF.The model integrates the capability of Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs) to generate simulated rem
The Management of Ischemic Priapism Due to Sickle Cell Disease and Other Etiologies: Treatment Strategies and Indications for Penile Prosthesis Implantation in an Endemic Region
Background and Objectives: Priapism is a condition characterized by a prolonged erection lasting over four hours, either independent of or following sexual stimulation.The primary treatment goal for ischemic and non-ischemic priapism is timely and appropriate intervention in order to preserve erectile function and penile length.This study aims to e
