Article Synopsis
  • Accurately classifying microalgae species is essential for monitoring marine ecosystems and managing marine mucilage, but traditional methods are often slow and require expert knowledge.
  • This article presents a solution using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and support vector machines (SVMs) to enhance classification speed and accuracy, demonstrating significant improvements over traditional methods.
  • A study on a dataset of 7820 images found that the linear SVM kernel achieved a 98.79% success rate, paving the way for more efficient biodiversity monitoring and real-time ecological conservation applications amidst climate change.

Scientists from all over the world have been intensively working to discover different aspects of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since the first cluster of cases was reported in China. Herein, we aimed to investigate unclear issues related to transmission and pathogenesis of disease as well as accuracy of diagnostic tests and treatment modalities. A literature search on PubMed, Ovid, and EMBASE databases was conducted, and articles pertinent to identified search terms were extracted.

Article Synopsis
  • The COVID-19 pandemic is a significant public health concern, with rapidly evolving knowledge on its epidemiology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention being reviewed by experts from the Turkish Thoracic Society.
  • Key findings indicate high genetic similarity to other coronaviruses like SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV, with common symptoms including fever and cough, and severe cases often occurring in patients with pre-existing health issues such as cardiovascular diseases.
  • Various treatment options, including chloroquine and protease inhibitors, show promise in managing COVID-19, but ongoing research continues to be crucial for understanding the virus’s transmission and effective treatment strategies.
