The first-approximation model showing the occurrence of epicontinental sedimentary basins due to convective instability of the thermal lithosphere by B. V. Lunev, V. V. Lapkovsky

“…Our model is based on the following reliably established facts: (1) at the surface of the planet, in continental areas there is an approximately 300-km-thick thermal boundary layer (TBL), wherein the temperature drop amounts to ~1300–1500 °C; (2) the material of the lithosphere, including the crust, is irreversibly deformed during slow geological processes; (3) the continental crust is the thick layer that is less dense than the material of the mantle. …”

Transfer learning with class activation maps in compositions driving plaque classification in carotid ultrasound by Georgia D. Liapi, Christos P. Loizou, Maura Griffin, Constantinos S. Pattichis, Constantinos S. Pattichis, Andrew Nicolaides, Efthyvoulos Kyriacou

“…In this study, the objective was to assess whether class activations maps (CAMs) can reveal which U/S grayscale-(GS)-based plaque compositions (lipid cores, fibrous content, collagen, and/or calcified areas) influence the model's understanding of the ASY and SY cases.MethodsWe used Xception via transfer learning, as a base for feature extraction (all layers frozen), whose output we fed into a new dense layer, followed by a new classification layer, which we trained with standardized B-mode U/S longitudinal plaque images. …”
