Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Plant Adaptations to Drought Stress: Morphological, Physiological and Biochemical Responses
Abstract: Drought stress is one of the major abiotic constraints affecting plant growth, development, productivity and survival. Water deficiency disrupts cellular water relations and subsequently influences plant morphology, physiology, metabolism and molecular regulation. Plants respond to drought through a combination of adaptive mechanisms rather than through a single tolerance trait. Morphological responses include modification of root architecture, reduction in leaf area, leaf rolling, changes in shoot growth and altered biomass allocation. …

Crystallization Kinetics and Morphological Shifts in Polylactic Acid/Nanocellulose Blends Under Isothermal Melt Conditions
Abstract: The great potential of polylactic acid as a sustainable biopolymer for packaging, biomedical materials, and additive manufacturing, polylactic acid's slow crystallization kinetics during melt processing causes it to be poorly crystallized, thermally weak, and mechanically underperforming. Crystallization models of PLA/nanocellulose blends have been limited to isothermal melt crystallization kinetics and the resulting morphological changes. The phenomena discussed in this work are systematically explored by melt compounding of polylactic acid with …

Morphological Heterogeneity and Ethnic Patterning of Anthropometric Traits in Ethiopian Inter-Scholastic Athletes
Abstract: Introduction: Anthropometric characteristics such as body size, proportions, and composition are fundamental determinants of morphological suitability for sport. Ethiopia’s significant ethnic diversity suggests potential variability in these traits; however, systematic data on anthropometric differences among adolescent athletes from different ethnic and demographic backgrounds remain limited. Understanding these variations is critical for talent identification and sports specialization at the school level.

A Novel Approach for Morphological Attribute Profiles with Partial Reconstruction
Abstract: The classification of satellite images are difficult because of human eyes can see the colour of visible light mostly in three bands (RGB). The main shortcomings of existing system are leakage problem (when regions related to different structures in the image by connecting fake links leads to missing of certain objects), objects expected to disappear at a certain threshold remain present when objects were connected. And then if the small …
