A Comprehensive Review of CNN-Based Framework for Multi-Sign Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy in Fundus Images Using Public Datasets
Abstract: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of vision impairment. Blindness prevention and effective treatment depend on early detection. A thorough deep learning-based framework for the automatic segmentation and simultaneous detection of exudates, hemorrhages, and microaneurysms – three important DR indicators – from retinal fundus images is presented in this work. These three pathological signs’ corresponding annotated image patches, along with background (no-sign) areas, were used to train …

Role of Fatigue and Creep in Structural Damage: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Fatigue and creep are two critical degradation mechanisms that significantly influence the structural integrity and longevity of engineering materials. These phenomena arise due to different loading and environmental conditions but often coexist in various industrial applications, leading to severe material degradation over time. Fatigue primarily results from cyclic loading, where repeated stress variations induce microstructural damage and crack initiation, ultimately causing catastrophic failure. Conversely, creep occurs under sustained stress at …

Dosing Control of Urea in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to enhance the reduction of Nitrogen oxides
Abstract: Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is an effective aftertreatment technique designed to comply with rigorous emission criteria established by global regulatory authorities for the elimination of nitrogen oxides from exhaust streams. Since NOx and ammonia reagents are poisonous and an excess of either is therefore very undesired, it poses an intriguing control problem, particularly at high conversion. SCR systems must reduce NOx emissions as much as possible and reduce the possibility …
