We consider the problem of estimating the stiffness of an artery wall using a data assimilation method applied to a 3D fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model. Recalling previous works, we briefly present the FSI model, the data assimilation procedure and the segmentation algorithm. We present then two examples of the procedure using real data. First, we estimate the stiffness distribution of a silicon rubber tube from image data. Second, we present the estimation of aortic wall stiffness from real clinical data.

Soil salinization seriously affects the efficiency of crops in absorbing soil nutrients, and the cotton production in southern Xinjiang accounts for more than 60% of China's total. Therefore, it is crucial to monitor the dynamic changes in the salinity of the soil profile in cotton fields in southern Xinjiang, understand the status of soil salinization, and implement effective prevention and control measures. The drip-irrigated cotton fields in Alaer Reclamation Area were taken as the research objects.

Savory (Satureja rechingeri L.) is one of Iran's most important medicinal plants, having low irrigation needs, and thus is considered one of the most valuable plants for cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions, especially under drought conditions. The current research was carried out to develop a genetic algorithm-based artificial neural network (ΑΝΝ) model able of simulating the levels of antioxidants in savory when using soil amendments [biochar (BC) and superabsorbent (SA)] under drought.

Domain-specific vocabulary, which is crucial in fields such as Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing, requires continuous updates to remain effective. Incremental Learning, unlike conventional methods, updates existing knowledge without retraining from scratch. This paper presents an incremental learning algorithm for updating domain-specific vocabularies.
