Deep reinforcement learning(DRL) is increasingly being explored in medical imaging. However, the environments for medical imaging tasks are constantly evolving in terms of imaging orientations, imaging sequences, and pathologies. To that end, we developed a Lifelong DRL framework, SERIL to continually learn new tasks in changing imaging environments without catastrophic...

Increasing the implemented SAE level of autonomy in road vehicles requires extensive simulations and verifications in a realistic simulation environment before proving ground and public road testing. The level of detail in the simulation environment helps ensure the safety of a real-world implementation and reduces algorithm development cost by allowing...

We propose Audio-Visual Lightweight ITerative model (AVLIT), an effective and lightweight neural network that uses Progressive Learning (PL) to perform audio-visual speech separation in noisy environments. To this end, we adopt the Asynchronous Fully Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (A-FRCNN), which has shown successful results in audio-only speech separation. Our architecture...

Stop thinking of hiking in the rain as an accident and make it a plan. Greg Rosenke / UnsplashDon't let some scattered drops ruin your hiking plans. The post How to stay dry and safe while hiking in the rain appeared first on Popular Science....

A recent study conducted by Harvard found that unmonitored PFAS can accumulate and last for centuries. Earlier in the year, the United States Environmental Protection......

Recently, carbon price forecasting has become critical for financial markets and environmental protection. Due to their dynamic, nonlinear, and high noise characteristics, predicting carbon prices is difficult. Machine learning forecasting often uses stacked ensemble algorithms. As a result, common stacking has many limitations when applied to time series data, as...

Facility horticulture plays a crucial role in modern agriculture by utilizing the environment efficiently and ensuring food supply. The hoverfly Eupeodes corollae (Fabricius) (Diptera: Syrphidae) performs a dual ecological function in facility agriculture as larvae prey on aphids and adults pollinate, but it is not widely applied in agriculture due...

Automation in the modern world has become a necessity for humans. Intelligent mobile robots have become necessary to perform various complex tasks in healthcare and industry environments. Mobile robots have gained attention during the pandemic; human–robot interaction has become vibrant. However, there are many challenges in obtaining human–robot interactions regarding...

A novel manganese dioxide–hydrogen peroxide (MnO2–H2O2) system was developed for effective Arsenic (As) removal. Under the specified conditions of no external mechanical stirring, a trace H2O2 concentration of 0.015 wt%, and a MnO2 concentration of 25 mg/L, high removal efficiency (88%) of As (100 µg/L) was achieved by the MnO2–H2O2...

This study is devoted to improving the energy efficiency of urban infrastructure systems (UISs), in particular, the centralized water supply of a city multifloor manufacturing cluster (CMFMC), by developing the principles of effective energy consumption management. The CMFMCs are located in the residential area of a megapolis and include manufacturing...

An oil pumpjack stands idle near homes in Signal Hill, California, on Feb. 9. Mario Tama/Getty ImagesA recent study found that the cost of cleaning up California's onshore oil and gas industry will be triple the industry’s projected profits. The post It Will Cost Up to $21.5 Billion to Clean...

After decades of shrugging off UFO sightings, NASA has shifted from chief debunker of extraterrestrials to taking its first steps to formally investigate these mysteries of the sky. The U.S. space agency held a public meeting of the unidentified anomalous phenomena study team, an independent panel of 16 experts charged...
