Automated speech recognition technology with robust performance in various environments is highly needed by emergency clinicians, but there are few successful cases. One main challenge is the wide variety of environmental interference involved during a typical prehospital care emergency service such as background noises and overlapping speech. To solve this problem, we try to establish an environmentally robust speech assistant system with the help of the proposed personalized speech enhancement (PSE) method, which utilizes the target physician's voiceprint feature to suppress non-target signal components. We demonstrate its potential value using both general public test set and our real EMS test set by evaluating the objective speech quality metrics, DNSMOS, and the recognition accuracy. Hopefully, the proposed method will raise EMS efficiency and security against non-target speech.

Urban reservoirs are frequently exposed to impacts from high population density, polluting activities, and the absence of environmental control measures and monitoring. In this study, we investigated the use of satellite imagery to assess restoration measures and support decision-making in a hypereutrophic urban reservoir. Since 2016, Lake Pampulha (Brazil) has undergone restoration measures, including the application of Phoslock®, to mitigate its poor water quality conditions.

The sustainable use of pomegranate peel, a by-product of the food industry, is gaining importance in developing pharmaceutical bio-inputs, aligning with circular economy practices and waste reduction. This study explores the application of dry crude pomegranate peel extract (PPE) as a bio-input for medicinal gels with wound healing properties. PPE was extracted via percolation in ethanol and freeze-dried.

Organic fluorescence and colorimetric probes have emerged as vital tools for detecting metal ions, due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times. Copper, an essential trace element, plays a critical role in biological systems, yet its imbalance can lead to severe disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and Wilson's disease. Over the past few years, advancements in probe design have unlocked innovative avenues for not only detecting Cu in environmental and biological samples but also for visualizing its distribution through fluorescence imaging.
