Computational chemistry describes the use of computer modelling and simulation – including ab initio approaches based on quantum chemistry, and empirical approaches – to study the structures and ...

Abstract: We implement transfer learning (TL) to attain efficiency in training and feature extraction by freezing the connection weights of shallow layers of deep learning (DL) models, already trained ...

Object discovery, which refers to the task of localizing objects without human annotations, has gained significant attention in 2D image analysis. However, despite this growing interest, it remains ...

To address this, we developed a HEC-RAS 2D hydrodynamic model of the Kilombero floodplain, simulating future flood dynamics under climate change (RCP 4.5 and 8.5) and land use change scenarios. We ...
