The kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) serves as an efficient approach for dimensionality reduction. However, the KPCA method is sensitive to the outliers since the large square errors tend to dominate the loss of KPCA. To strengthen the robustness of KPCA method, we propose a novel robust kernel principal component analysis with optimal mean (RKPCA-OM) method. RKPCA-OM not only possesses stronger robustness for outliers than the conventional KPCA method, but also can eliminate the optimal mean automatically. What is more, the theoretical proof proves the convergence of the algorithm to guarantee that the optimal subspaces and means are obtained. Lastly, exhaustive experimental results verify the superiority of our method.

Purpose: The segmentation of target volume and organs at risk (OAR) was a significant part of radiotherapy. Specifically, determining the location and scale of the esophagus in simulated computed tomography images was difficult and time-consuming primarily due to its complex structure and low contrast with the surrounding tissues. In this study, an Enhanced Cross-stage-attention U-Net was proposed to solve the segmentation problem for the esophageal gross tumor volume (GTV) and clinical tumor volume (CTV) in CT images.

A core panel of 300 Watkins wheat landraces, as well as 16 non-Watkins landraces and elite wheat cultivars, was grown during the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons at four Agricultural Research Stations in Egypt, Gemmiza, Nubaria, Sakha, and Sids, to evaluate the core panel for agromorphological and yield-related traits. The genetic population structure within these genotypes were assessed using 35,143 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).

Guide dogs play a crucial role in enhancing independence and mobility for people with visual impairment, offering invaluable assistance in navigating daily tasks and environments. However, the extensive training required for these dogs is costly, resulting in a limited availability that does not meet the high demand for such skilled working animals. Towards optimizing the training process and to better understand the challenges these guide dogs may be experiencing in the field, we have created a multi-sensor smart collar system.

Fall from a height trauma is characterized by a multiplicity of injuries, related to multiple factors. The height of the fall is the factor that most influences the kinetic energy of the body and appears to be one of the factors that most affects the extent of injury. The purpose of this work is to evaluate, through machine learning algorithms, whether the autopsy injury pattern can be useful in estimating fall height.
