People with visual impairments often have difficulty locating misplaced objects. This can be a major barrier to their independence and quality of life. Retinal prostheses can restore some vision to people with severe vision loss. We introduce a novel real-time system for locating any misplaced objects for people with visual impairments using retinal prostheses. The system combines One For All (OFA

Genomic microarray databases encompass complex high dimensional gene expression samples. Imbalanced microarray datasets refer to uneven distribution of genomic samples among different contributed classes which can negatively affect the classification performance. Therefore, gene selection from imbalanced microarray dataset can give rise to misleading, and inconsistent nominated genes that would

Nuclei segmentation is a critical task in biological image analysis, with numerous applications in cancer diagnosis, grading, staging, and treatment planning. However, this task is challenging, particularly when dealing with low-resolution and low signal-to-noise ratio microscopy images. Segmentation problems arise, such as touching and missing cells, which make the process even more challenging

Cervical cancer (CC) is considered a significant global health threat to women therefore there is a need for personalized treatment strategy based on individual-specific gene expression patterns to enhance recovery and survival rates. Although a few studies have linked bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) expression with CC, its precise role in CC progression remains unclear. In this study, we

Brain Connectivity refers to networks of functional and anatomical connections found throughout the brain. Multiple neural populations are connected by intricate connectivity circuits and interact with one another to exchange information, synchronize their activity, and participate in the accomplishment of complex cognitive tasks. Issues about how various brain regions contribute to cognition and

Current Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis methods exhibit some limitations as they are based on clinical interviews and observations of behaviors, characteristics, and abilities. Moreover, considering the current challenges in identifying the causes and mechanisms associated with ASD, there is an essential need for automated techniques capable of providing an accurate classification between

Recently, the numerical optimization field has attracted the research community to propose and develop various metaheuristic optimization algorithms. This paper presents a new metaheuristic optimization algorithm called Honey Badger Algorithm (HBA). The proposed algorithm is inspired from the intelligent foraging behavior of honey badger, to mathematically develop an efficient search strategy for

The objective of this research is to build a 'Whole Slide Images' classification system using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). This system is capable of classifying Thyroid tumors into three types: Follicular adenoma, follicular carcinoma, and papillary carcinoma. Furthermore, the cascaded CNN technique is additionally employed to classify the classified follicular carcinoma into four

Assessment of corneal biomechanics for pre- and post-refractive surgery is of great clinical importance. Corneal biomechanics affect vision quality of human eye. Many factors affect corneal biomechanics such as, age, corneal diseases and corneal refractive surgery. There is a need for non-invasive in-vivo measurement of corneal biomechanics due to corneal shape preserving as opposed to ex-vivo
