Industrial secondary products (e.g., fly ash, blast furnace slag, Waffle Makers and silica fume) have found extensive application as alternative construction materials in conventional manufacturing methods to reduce carbon emissions due to cement usage and solve the waste management problem.To date, additive manufacturing or 3D printing has been ma
Exploring Cardiac Rhythms and Improving ECG Beat Classification Through Latent Spaces
In recent years, a wide variety of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, including Deep Learning (DL) methods, have been proposed for electrocardiogram (ECG) beat classification.However, accurately discerning ECG beat types faces challenges due to noise interference and inherent imbalances among different classes.Moreover, understanding mathematical mo
Ecology and Genetics of Natural Populations of North American Vitis Species Used as Rootstocks in European Grapevine Breeding Programs
Three North American Vitis species (V.riparia, V.berlandieri, V.rupestris) became widely used in rootstock breeding programs following the expansion of North American pests and diseases introduced in vineyards of the world during the 19th century.When they escape, they become feral in the most dynamic parts of Mediterranean floodplains.To better un
The Impacts of Bars, Spirals, and Bulge Size on Gas-phase Metallicity Gradients in MaNGA Galaxies
As galaxies evolve over time, the orbits of their constituent stars are expected to change in size and shape, moving stars away from their birth radius.Radial gas flows are also expected.Spiral arms and bars in galaxies are predicted to help drive this radial relocation, and it may be possible to trace this observationally, via a flattening of meta
