This study aimed to utilize YOLOv7 model to develop an automated detection web-based system for these specific scalp lesions.
Methods: Utilizing a dataset of 2200 clinical images, the model's accuracy and robustness were assessed.
One kind of autonomous vehicle that can take instructions from the driver by reading their electroencephalogram (EEG) signals using a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is called a Brain-Controlled Vehicle (BCV). The operation of such a vehicle is greatly affected by how well the BCI works. At present, there are limitations on the accuracy of BCI recognition, the number of distinguishable command categories, and the execution duration of command recognition.

The Stokes (1966) couple stress fluid model is included to account for the couple stresses arising due to the presence of microstructure additives in the lubricant. In the context of Christensen's (1969) stochastic theory for the lubrication of rough surfaces, two types of one-dimensional roughness patterns (radial and azimuthal) are considered.
