Do Synoptic Assessments Lead to Authentic Learning? A Critical Perspective on Integration and Intentionality in Higher Education Assessment Design See

Synoptic assessment has gained prominence in higher education as a way to bridge fragmented curricula by enabling students to synthesize knowledge across modules. However, structural integration through assessment does not automatically produce authentic learning. Drawing on theoretical analysis and t...

Development of YOLO-based object detection and tracking systems for airport ground safety and simulation-based collision analysis See

Airport ground incidents remain one of the major safety concerns in aviation, causing operational disruption and substantial economic losses. Although conventional surveillance and sensing can support surface awareness, cost, deployment constraints, and limited interpretability at close range motivate low-...

Copula-Based Bayesian Inference Approaches for Uncertainty Quantification for Hydrological Simulation See

In this study, an advanced copula-based Bayesian inference framework is proposed to characterize probabilistic features in hydrological simulations. Specifically, a Copula–Metropolis–Hastings (CopMH) algorithm is developed through integrating copula functions into the conventional Metropolis–Hastings (MH) algorithm withi...

Crude Microalgae Extract for Increased CO₂ Capture and Higher Biomass Production in Algal Cultivation Systems See

Efficient inorganic carbon supply is a common limitation in microalgal cultivation, particularly in waste-derived media such as anaerobic digestate. Carbonic anhydrase (CA) accelerates the interconversion of CO₂ and bicarbonate and may therefore enhance carbon utilisation under conditions where inorganic&#...

Acknowledging recent breakthroughs in the context of deep bio-inspired neural networks, several architectural deep network options have been deployed to create intelligent systems. The foundations of convolutional neural networks are influenced by hierarchical processing in the visual cortex. The grap...

Unsupervised Feature Space Analysis for Robust Motor Fault Diagnosis Under Varying Operating Conditions See

Reliable fault diagnosis of induction motors from current signals is critical for preventing failures in industrial systems. However, deep learning models often exhibit performance degradation when the torque load and other operating conditions change. Although a lot of research has been com...

Pre-Ictal EEG Augmentation Based CDCGAN Model for Epileptic Seizure Prediction See

Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder affecting over 50 million people worldwide, characterised by recurrent seizures accompanied by abnormal neuronal electrical activity. Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a technique for recording brain electrical signals, widely employed for epileptic seizure (ES) predi...
