Edge enhancement of potential field data using the enhanced gradient (EG) filter by Ahmad Alvandi, Korimilli N Durga Prasad, Hazel Deniz Toktay

“…The EG is tested on two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) synthetic magnetic models with sources buried at different depths and variable properties. The results from the EG filter provide more accurate and higher resolution horizontal boundaries and can avoid creating the false edges in the output results. …”

Optimal Design of Steel Structures Using Innovative Black Widow Algorithm Hybridized with Greedy Sensitivity-Based Particle Swarm Optimization Technique by Mohammad Reza Ghasemi, Abdolhamid Salarnia, Mehdi Ghasri

“…The advantage of this stage is that those designs that do not match the solutions close to the global optimal are eliminated, and the more effective solutions remain. To examine the proposed approach, five optimization examples, including three two-dimensional benchmark frames and two three-dimensional structures, have been used. …”

Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in a case of volatile intraocular pressure and preoperative hypotony by Blake Katsev, Gio Campagna, James C. Liu

“…Conclusion and Importance: When the outflow pathways are compromised, any fluctuation in the inflow has a much more dramatic effect on the IOP. In such instances, IOP lowering agents have a very narrow therapeutic window and lead to volatility in IOP. …”

Mapping Paddy Fields Using Satellite Images and Machine Learning to Identify High Temperature-Induced Sterility in Nankoku, Japan by Naoyuki Hashimoto, Haruki Yamada, Shiho Matsuoka

“…The results showed that the rate of change in reflectance from the heading stage until an effective accumulated temperature of 350 °C was reached was an effective model variable. Applying this model to map fields where rice sterility occurred from 2022 to 2024 revealed that more than 41% of the fields in Nankoku may have been damaged, suggesting that many fields might be at risk of adverse effects from high temperatures. …”
