The multiscale entropy (MSE) measure is now widely used to quantify the complexity of time series. The development of complexity measures for images is also a long-standing goal. Recently, the bi-dimensional version of MSE has been proposed (MSE) to analyze images. The interpretation of MSE curves and the applications to real data are still emergent. Because the coarse-graining step in the MSE computation changes the frequency content of the image, we hypothesized a possible dependence between MSE and the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). To analyze this dependence, synthetic as well as biomedical images are analyzed. Our results reveal that i) the profile of MSE is sensitive to both the amplitude and phase of the DFT; ii) MSE could find applications in the biomedical field. This work brings valuable information for MSE interpretation and opens possibilities to study images from an entropy point of view through spatial scales.

Forests play a vital role in environmental balance, supporting biodiversity and contributing to atmospheric purification. However, forest fires threaten this balance, making the identification of forest fire probability (FFP) areas crucial for effective mitigation. This study assesses forest fire trends and susceptibility in the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR) from 2012 to 2023 using four machine learning models-extreme gradient boosting tree (XGBTree), AdaBag, random forest (RF), and gradient boosting machine (GBM).

Personalized sports training plans are essential for addressing individual athlete needs, but traditional methods often need to integrate diverse data types, limiting adaptability and effectiveness. Existing machine learning (ML) and rule-based approaches cannot dynamically generate context-specific training programs, reducing their applicability in real-world scenarios. This study aims to develop a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)- based framework to create context-specific training plans by integrating numeric attributes (e.

Dry matter intake (DMI) determination is essential for effective management of meat goats, especially in optimizing feed utilization and production efficiency. Unfortunately, farmers often face challenges in accurately predicting DMI which leads to wastage of feed and an increase in the cost of production. This investigation aimed to predict DMI in Black Bengal goats by using body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), average daily gain (ADG), and metabolic body weight (MBW) by applying an artificial neural network (ANN) model.

The transportation industry contributes significantly to climate change through carbon dioxide ( ) emissions, intensifying global warming and leading to more frequent and severe weather phenomena such as flooding, drought, heat waves, glacier melting, and rising sea levels. This study proposes a comprehensive approach for predicting emissions from vehicles using deep learning techniques enhanced by eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methods. Utilizing a dataset from the Canadian government's official open data portal, we explored the impact of various vehicle attributes on emissions.
