Deep learning models deployed in industry often rely on large-scale labeled data, where label noise is unavoidable due to imperfect sensing, human annotation errors, and complex operating environments. Such noisy labels can severely degrade model reliability and limit industrial applicability. To...

Previous evidence has established genetics as an important contributing factor to severe (class III) obesity, which is a chronic, relapsing condition, with a high burden of comorbidity and mortality. We therefore designed a custom genotyping array to screen a cohort of UK patients ...

Background/Objectives: Bariatric (or metabolic) surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity, resulting in sustained weight loss and rapid improvement in metabolic outcomes. However, it is currently unknown what molecular changes are induced by the surgery, how they rela...

Macroprudential policies have become crucial tools for maintaining financial stability, but their effect on banks’ noninterest income has not yet been examined. This is a paradox in light of results in the literature linking noninterest income to bank performance indicators such as risk...

To address the need for thermally informed tire modeling for handling-oriented force prediction under limited thermal sensing, this paper presents a differentiable physics-embedded sequential framework for thermally informed Neural-UniTire modeling and identification. First, a differentiable radial thermal mode...

Dissimilar metal weld joints (DMWJs) between low-alloy steel SA508 and austenitic stainless steel 316L, fabricated using nickel-based alloy 52M as filler metal, are critically important in the primary circuit of pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The structural integrity of such DMWJs is str...

Management education remains deeply entrenched in colonial and neoliberal epistemic traditions, and privileges Eurocentric managerial paradigms while marginalising alternative knowledge systems. This paper outlines two levels of decolonisation: (a) surface-level interventions that introduce non-Western perspectives witho...

Postcolonial states can organize dispossession through institutions that remain procedurally regular, legally authoritative, and indispensable to citizens’ claims. This article theorizes the legitimation trap as a contingent configuration in which procedural propriety certifies a substantively unjust order and&...
