MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR GEAR FAULT DETECTION AND DIAGNOSIS by HIJAWI,ULA MUTASIM

“…ML-based techniques for facility condition monitoring are investigated and presented in a comparative analysis. Using convolutional layers, network parameters are greatly decreased in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) by local connectivity and exchanging weights, which comprise a group of kernels with a limited receptive area, unlike a typical neural network with a complete connection through each node. …”

Cutaneous Aβ-Non-nociceptive, but Not C-Nociceptive, Dorsal Root Ganglion Neurons Exhibit Spontaneous Activity in the Streptozotocin Rat Model of Painful Diabetic Neuropathy . by Djouhri, Laiche

“…However, DPNP is believed to be due partly to abnormal hyperexcitability of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, but the relative contributions of specific functional subtypes remain largely unknown. Here, using the strepotozotocin (STZ) rat model of DPNP induced by a STZ injection (60 mg/kg, i.p), and intracellular recordings of action potentials (APs) from DRG neurons in anesthetized rats, we examined electrophysiological changes in C-and Aβ-nociceptive and Aβ-low threshold mechanoreceptive (LTM) neurons that may contribute to DPNP. …”

Investigation of Spatiotemporal Variability of Microplastics in Qatar's Cstal Environment by Ben-Hamadou, Radhouane

“…Chemical analysis revealed the occurrence of OPs with endocrine effects on all obtained macroplastics, and concentration of pollutants was consistent in all sites. Large piece-to-piece variations of contamination up to two orders of magnitude were discovered within sites (2 to 1,005 ng/g), although there was no significant difference in contaminant concentration among all sites for PCBs and PAHs respectively. …”
