: Accurate reconstruction of internal temperature fields from surface temperature data is critical for applications such as non-invasive thermal imaging, particularly in scenarios involving small temperature gradients, like those in the human body. : In this study, we employed 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to predict internal temperature fields. The network's performance was evaluated under both ideal and non-ideal conditions, incorporating noise and background temperature variations.

Article Synopsis
  • During the COVID-19 pandemic, AI models were developed to help with health-care resource issues, but previous studies showed that the datasets used often have limitations leading to biased outcomes.
  • A systematic review analyzed 192 healthcare datasets from MEDLINE and Google Dataset Search, focusing on metadata completeness, accessibility, and ethical considerations.
  • Results indicated significant shortfalls, including that only 48% showed the country of origin, 43% reported age, and under 25% included demographic factors like sex or race, emphasizing the need for improved data quality and transparency to avoid bias in future AI health applications.

This study presents a rigorous mechanical characterisation investigation on milk chocolate with varying porosities, at different temperatures and strain rate levels. Uniaxial compression tests at temperatures varying from 20 °C to 30 °C were performed to measure the bulk properties of chocolate as a function of porosity and temperature. Fracture experiments were also conducted to compute the fracture energy at temperature levels between 20 °C and 30 °C for all tested samples.
