Training deep learning models generally requires large, costly datasets which can limit their application towards in-house segmentation tasks. This study investigates the trade-off in dataset size within the context of pelvic multi-organ MR segmentation where we evaluate the performance of nnU-Net, a well-known segmentation model, under conditions of limited domain and data availability. 12 participants undergoing treatment on...

The California-Nevada 1997 New Year’s flood was an atmospheric river (AR)-driven rain-on-snow (RoS) event and remains the costliest in their history. The joint occurrence of saturated soils, rainfall, and snowmelt generated inundation throughout northern California-Nevada. Although AR RoS events are projected to occur more frequently with climate change, the warming sensitivity of their flood drivers across scales remains unde...

Some argue that complementing climate change mitigation measures with solar radiation management (SRM) might prove a last resort to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. To make a socially responsible decision on whether to use SRM, it is important to consider also public opinion, across the globe and particularly in the Global South, which would face the greatest risks from both global warming and SRM. However, most research on pub...

In present work, the hydrodynamic studies and determination of oxygen mass transfer coefficients ( K L a ) were conducted in a multistage flexible fibre biofilm reactor developed for treating milk processing wastewater. In this regard, the residence time distributions in the MS-FFBR under various operating conditions as water flow rates, airflow rates, and hydraulic retention times were analysed using tracer experiments. The r...

Probiotics are microbial cells with multifunctional properties including immunostimulatory function in their host. Today, probiotics are widely used for controlling diseases in aquaculture, especially for rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss , as the most important commercial cold‐water fish in the world. So far, many studies have been conducted on the effect of probiotics on the immune system of rainbow trout, but due to differ...
