A multistage framework for respiratory disease detection and assessing severity in chest X-ray images.

Chest Radiography is a non-invasive imaging modality for diagnosing and managing chronic lung disorders, encompassing conditions such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and COVID-19. While it is crucial for disease localization and severity assessment, existing computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems primarily focus on classification tasks, often overlooking these aspects. Additionally, prevalent approaches rely on class activation or saliency maps, providing only a rough localization.

Game-environment feedback dynamics in growing population: Effect of finite carrying capacity.

The tragedy of the commons (TOC) is an unfortunate situation where a shared resource is exhausted due to uncontrolled exploitation by the selfish individuals of a population. Recently, the paradigmatic replicator equation has been used in conjunction with a phenomenological equation for the state of the shared resource to gain insight into the influence of the games on the TOC. The replicator equation, by construction, models a fixed infinite population undergoing microevolution.

Towards Predicting Risk of Coronary Artery Disease from Semi-Structured Dataset.

Many kinds of disease-related data are now available and researchers are constantly attempting to mine useful information out of these. Medical data are not always homogeneous and in structured form, and mostly they are time-stamped data. Thus, special care is required to prevent any kind of information loss during mining such data.

Evaporation dynamics of pure and binary mixture drops on dry and lubricant coated slippery surfaces.

Hypothesis: Lubricating fluid coated slippery (LCS) surfaces offer a new scope to study the evaporation of sessile drops due to pinning free motion of the three-phase contact line (TPCL). This work aims to experimentally demonstrate the different evaporation behavior of water and binary mixture drops on dry and LCS surfaces.

Experiments: Evaporation study on dry and LCS surfaces is performed by capturing top and side views of evaporating drops to extract various parameters which are subsequently used to distinguish between different evaporation modes.
