Enhancing Thyroid Nodule Detection in Ultrasound Images: A Novel YOLOv8 Architecture with a C2fA Module and Optimized Loss Functions by Shidan Wang, Zi-An Zhao, Yuze Chen, Ye-Jiao Mao, James Chung-Wai Cheung

“…Ultrasound imaging has inherent limitations—high noise, low contrast, and blurred boundaries—that make manual interpretation subjective and error-prone. To address these challenges, YOLO-Thyroid, an improved model for the automatic detection of thyroid nodules in ultrasound images, is presented herein. …”

Law of conservation-guided neural network with gradient aggregation for improved energy efficiency optimization in industrial processes by Santi Bardeeniz, Chanin Panjapornpon, Moonyong Lee

“…The framework integrates physical principles directly into floating nodes constructed using a long short-term memory architecture to help the model formulate the relationship between process variables, while gradient aggregation increases liquidity and interpretability. Through evaluation of two large-scale case studies—vinyl chloride monomer and detergent powder production—the proposed model produced substantial improvements in prediction accuracy and model reliability, with a test prediction improvement of 12.2 % and 5.87 % over published methods. …”

Predation, reoccupation, cannibalism, and scavenging? Records of small mammals in arctic ground squirrel middens from east Beringia by Scott L. Cocker, Grant D. Zazula, Elizabeth Hall, Christopher N. Jass, John E. Storer, Duane G. Froese

“…These remains provide a unique look into the fossorial life histories of U. parryii and other small mammals of eastern Beringia within an established chronological framework. We interpret that the assemblages could represent reoccupation of middens by arvicolines or that arvicolines fell prey to hungry arctic ground squirrels and/or were incorporated into the middens as a result of opportunistic scavenging. …”
