A Ventilated Dual-Function Photonic–Phononic Metasurface for Simultaneous Passive Radiative Cooling and Low-Frequency Noise Mitigation in Building Envelopes: Conceptual Design and Computational Feasibility Analysis
Abstract: Acoustic metamaterials for sound insulation and photonic/radiative-cooling metamaterials for passive thermal management have each matured separately for building-envelope retrofit, but existing studies address ventilation, acoustic damping and radiative thermal control in isolation, and no reported unit-cell architecture co-designs all three within a single shared structure. This gap persists because materials that are acoustic absorptive are generally dense and structurally opaque, whereas materials that are highly solar-reflective are conventionally applied to …

Deep Learning for Earth Observation Using Satellite Imagery: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Earth observation (EO) satellites provide continuous, large-scale information about the Earth's land, oceans, atmosphere, vegetation, infrastructure, and environmental conditions. The rapid growth of multispectral, hyperspectral, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), thermal, and high- resolution satellite missions has generated large volumes of heterogeneous spatial and temporal data. Conventional image-processing and machine-learning techniques often require manually designed features and may have difficulty representing the complex spatial, spectral, temporal, and multimodal characteristics of satellite …

Reward-Aligned Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback for Emotion-Sensitive Large Language Model Therapists: Balancing Empathetic Engagement, Boundary Safety, and Clinical Accountability
Abstract: The deployment of large language models (LLMs) in mental health therapy contexts introduces a critical alignment challenge: these systems must simultaneously cultivate genuine empathic rapport, observe clinically grounded safety boundaries, and remain auditable under institutional accountability frameworks. Existing reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) pipelines optimize for a scalar reward signal that is demonstrably insufficient for the multi-objective, temporally extended nature of therapeutic conversation. This paper presents RA-RLHF-T (Reward-Aligned RLHF …

Energy-Efficient Parallel Computing for Edge Devices: Techniques, Challenges, and Emerging Research Directions
Abstract: Edge computing brings computation closer to data sources, which supports low-latency applications but places substantial demands on energy-constrained and heterogeneous devices. Parallel execution across multicore CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and other accelerators can improve responsiveness, but it also complicates scheduling, power management, and resource allocation. This review examines six closely related technique families: energy-aware task scheduling, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS), task offloading and resource allocation, artificial-intelligence-based optimization, hardware acceleration, …

AI-Powered Prompt-to-Production Platform for Automated React Application Generation and Cloud Deployment
Abstract: The proliferation of large language models (LLMs) has fundamentally altered the landscape of automated software engineering. However, a significant “deployment chasm” persists between the generation of code artifacts and their realization as production-grade cloud applications. Traditional workflows are marred by the “DevOps Tax”: the high operational overhead of environment configuration, dependency resolution, and infrastructure provisioning. This paper presents a novel, technically adept architecture that bridges this gap through a unified …

A Robust Face Recognition Model based on Convolutional Neural Networks
Abstract: From the past several years, face recognition is one of the challenging issues in computer vision, due to three main technical problems in it. 1) Expression problem: in which same person shows more than one expression. 2) Illumination problem: in which face images of the person are strongly corrupted by lightning and 3) poses problem: in which large portion of the face becomes invisible due to occlusion. To this end …

Cascade CNN Framework for Low Resolution Image Classification
Abstract: Abstract: Low resolution images contain less visual information, so classifications of these images are difficult. For overcoming this problem, cascade CNN framework for low resolution image classification is proposed. In this framework, super resolution CNN (SRCNN) enlarges low resolution image into super resolution image. The convolutional features of these super resolution images are fused with low resolution convolutional features which are extracted by low resolution CNN (LRCNN) feature extractor. A …
