Truncation artifact reduction in cone-beam computed tomography scans using conditional generative diffusion models

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is commonly used in diagnostic imaging owing to its superior spatial resolution and lower radiation dose relative to conventional computed tomography (CT). A limitation of CBCT systems, however, is their inherently restricted field of view, which induces truncation artifacts, thereb...

Extending the FEA Model to Sustainable Packaging Design: The Role of Functional, Expressive, and Aesthetic Attributes in Socially Situated Consumer Experiences

Sustainable packaging design in the beauty industry must balance environmental responsibility with functional performance, expressive meaning and aesthetic appeal, yet design research has rarely examined these attributes through a framework. Drawing on the Function–Expressive–Aesthetic (FEA) model, the Stimulus–Organis...

A stochastic diffusion-assisted hierarchical DRL framework for joint MSCA-CoMP resource allocation in heterogeneous networks

Agentic Workflow for Automated Systematic Literature Review: A Case Study on Generative AI Applications in the Oil and Gas Industry

The rapid expansion of generative AI across the oil and gas applications has created an urgent need for structured review on emerging research trends. However, traditional systematic literature reviews (SLRs) are time-consuming and difficult to scale as the volume of AI publications grows every day. This paper propos...

Time and Temperature Can Be Traded, but Because the Rate of Exchange Is Exponential Only the Shortening Side Gains Orders ── With a Z value of 10 ℃, every 10 ℃ of temperature multiplies the time required for the same effect by exactly 0.100000 ── the separator is whether the law of exchange is exponential or linear ── [Paper 717]

In thermal sterilisation, time and temperature can be traded. That they trade at all is not news. What is worth counting is how steep the rate of exchange is. The steepness is put into numbers, and with it the reason high-temperature short-time processing works. No new theorem or law is claimed. Scope of this paper (sc...

Effect of dialkyl carbonates on soot precursor formation in ethylene laminar opposed-flow flames

Diethyl carbonate (DEC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) are environmentally friendly oxygenated fuel additives due to their low toxicity, engine compatibility, miscibility with conventional fuels, and sustainable synthesis from alcohols and CO₂. While DEC has demonstrated strong potential for particulate matter reduction,...

Defining reversible binding rates in 1D systems dependent on diffusion, density, and excluded volume

Binding reactions in effectively one-dimensional systems, such as proteins diffusing along DNA or other filaments, pose a fundamental coarse-graining challenge because stochastic trajectories are recurrent in one dimension and, therefore, do not admit a unique, separation-independent macroscopic association rate. As a...

Eval4DiRec: A Unified and Systematic Evaluation Framework for Diffusion-based Recommender Systems

Leveraging the strong generative capabilities and stable training dynamics of diffusion models, diffusion-based recommender systems (RSs) have recently emerged as a novel recommendation paradigm, attracting increasing attention from both academia and industry. However, despite the rapid growth of diffusion-based RSs, a...

Core Temperature Estimation and Prediction for Batteries Using the Multitask Coordinated Framework With Limited Data

The core temperature of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) substantially impacts their safety and reliability in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. However, its direct measurement remains challenging, particularly under complex operating conditions, wide temperature variations, and limited data due to sparse tempe...

Contour-aware diffusion model for restoring atmospheric turbulence-degraded facial images

A Falsifiable Experimental Protocol for Testing Spacetime Chronometric Viscosity (η_α) via Cryogenic Levitated Optomechanics

We formulate a rigorous, dimensionally consistent experimental protocol to test the physical existence of an intrinsic vacuum viscosity—the "Alpha Property" of spacetime chronometry (eta_alpha)—using cryogenic levitated optomechanics. While environmental decoherence arises from scattering with thermal baths and gravita...
