This study proposes an additional Hat feature of optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a guidance system for laser surgery, aiming to enhance ablation efficiency during laser osteotomy.A long-range Bessel-like beam OCT system is integrated with an Er:YAG laser.The signal sensitivity of the OCT system is measured under various conditions encountered
In this paper, we present an advanced adaptive cruise control (ACC) concept powered by Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) that generates safe, human-like, and comfortable car-following policies.Unlike the current trend in developing DRL-based ACC systems, we propose defining the action space of the DRL agent with discrete actions rather than continu
BackgroundWastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) surveillance as an early warning system (EWS) for monitoring community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) settings, where diagnostic testing capacity is limited, needs further exploration.We explored the feasibility to conduct a WBE surveillance in Indonesia, one of the

Asexual lineages provide a challenge to species delimitation because species concepts either have little biological meaning for them or are arbitrary, since every individual is monophyletic and reproductively isolated from all other individuals.However, recognition and naming of asexual species is important to conservation and economic applications
