Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy is extensively employed in deep-sea structural applications owing to its excellent corrosion resistance, while its extra-low-interstitial (ELI) variant provides higher fractur...
Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a valuable tool for monitoring community-level infectious disease dynamics, providing population-wide signals that complement clinical surveillance. Howeve...
We present MobileGym, a browser-hosted, lightweight, fully controllable environment for everyday mobile use, targeting interaction fidelity without replicating proprietary backends. It enables two cap...
Decision-making problems often feature uncertainty stemming from heterogeneous and context-dependent human preferences. To address this, we propose a sequential learning-and-optimization pipeline to l...
For most of scientific history, researchers studying behavior could only infer hidden mechanisms from outward actions: an inverse problem that becomes more tractable when observation is augmented by t...
Oil spills dampen the water bodies, causing serious threats to the marine environment. In this paper, oil spill detection and segmentation in satellite imagery in the presence of speckle noise is prop...
Real-world clinical decision support requires reasoning over heterogeneous and longitudinal patient information rather than answering isolated medical questions. However, current medical large languag...
Microplastic pollution, stemming from plastic degradation or direct release, presents a persistent threat to marine environments. While global concern grows, data from the Indian Ocean, especially on ...
Copper-containing steel is widely used in ship plates and other marine engineering fields due to its excellent mechanical properties and good weldability. However, in hydrogen-containing media environ...
Continental slopes, particularly the pockmark and salt diapir regions of the Santos Basin, represent extreme environments characterized by high hydrostatic pressure, low temperatures, elevated salinit...
The increase in pharmaceutical residues and environmental contaminants, including heavy metals and biotoxins, in coastal ecosystems represents a critical threat to global health. Mussels (Mytilus spp....
YouTube Shorts have become central to news consumption on the platform, yet research on how geopolitical events are represented in this format remains limited. To address this gap, we present a multim...
Recent large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities in understanding and generating code, from competitive programming to repository-level software engineering. In emerging agent...
Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that support marine biodiversity and provide essential services to coastal economies. However, they are increasingly threatened by different contaminants, such as poly...
As immunotherapies become standard cancer treatments, it is increasingly important to identify a patient's immune profile, which encompasses the activity of immune cells within the tumor microenvironm...
The marine environment of the Amathole region, located in the central part of South Africa's Eastern Cape Province near East London on the southeast coast, is characterized by a narrow continental she...
The protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems (VMEs) is a priority for ecosystem-based fisheries management in the Mediterranean Sea. The bamboo coral Isidella elongata forms complex habitats that ar...
This paper introduces \emph{biased mean regression}, estimating the \emph{biased mean}, i.e., $\mathbb{E}[Y] + x$, where $x \in \mathbb{R}$. The approach addresses a fundamental statistical problem th...
The development of sustainable, bioderived, conductive ionic gels for low-temperature applications remains a critical challenge, particularly in eliminating reliance on ethylene glycol-based antifreez...
Liquid water exists on the Earth and several other planetary bodies in our solar system. The chemical character of these aqueous reservoirs is central to evaluating their habitability. Here, we synthe...
