Defect detection using 3D computed tomography images and application on nuclear power plants
(2022-12-01)
Tools used in nuclear power plant (NPP) inspection are required to be inspected before and after use on a reactor to check their integrity. To address the long duration required for manual inspection, non-destructive testing ...
Guiding pre-service teachers to making
(2022-12-01)
As our society becomes further driven by technology, schools need to consider adopting student-centered maker pedagogies that harness the capabilities of technology while disrupting traditional teacher-centered learning. ...
Virtual machine detection through Central Processing Unit (CPU) detail anomalies
(2022-12-01)
Malware analysts commonly use virtual machines to provide safe environments to study malware. Malware authors in response, include virtual machine detection functions in their malware so it changes its behavior should a ...

(2023-07-01)
Background: For frail older persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) and mild dementia, Tai Chi (TC) is a popular form of exercise. However, due to accessibility issues and negative outcomes, not all movements are suitable ...
Subgraph classification through neighborhood pooling
(2023-06-01)
Subgraph classification is an emerging field in graph representation learning where the task is to classify a group of nodes (i.e., a subgraph) within a graph. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are the de facto solution for ...
Scalable subgraph representation learning through simplification
(2023-06-01)
Link prediction on graphs is a fundamental problem. Subgraph representation learning approaches (SGRLs), by transforming link prediction to graph classification on the subgraphs around the links, have achieved state-of-the-art ...
