This study proposes a structured approach that combines vesselness enhancement, heart region of interest (ROI) extraction, and the ResUNet deep learning method to accurately and efficiently extract coronary artery vessels. Vesselness enhancement and heart ROI extraction significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of the segmentation process, while ResUNet enables the model to capture both local and global features.

This research adopts the hypothesis of maximizing the utilization of secondary products for soil improvement to reduce ecosystem pollution. The study focuses on assessing the impact of combining phosphogypsum and modified biochar as environmentally friendly soil amendments on loamy sand soil quality parameters such as soil organic carbon, cation exchange capacity, nutrient levels, and wheat yield.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSoil salinity has a negative impact on the biochemical properties of soil and on plant growth, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. Using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi () and foliar spray from compost tea as alleviating treatments, this study aimed to investigate the effects of alleviating salt stress on the growth and development of maize and wheat grown on a saline-sodic soil during the period of 2022/2023. Six treatments were used in the completely randomized factorial design experiment.
