Proposal and Implementation of Seawater Temperature Prediction Model using Transfer Learning Considering Water Depth Differences
Aquaculture is one of the most important industries worldwide, and most marine products are produced by aquaculture. On the other hand, the aquaculture farmers are faced on the challenge of damage to marine products due to abnormal seawater temperatures. Research on seawater temperature prediction have been conducted, but many of them require a large amount…
Read MoreWeb Application Interface Data Collector for Issue Reporting
Insufficient information is often pointed out as one of the main problems with bug reports as most bugs are reported manually, they lack detailed information describing steps to reproduce the unexpected behavior, leading to increased time and effort for developers to reproduce and fix bugs. Current bug reporting systems lack support for self-hosted systems that…
Read MoreEvaluation of Physicochemical Stability in Extemporaneous Omeprazole-Based Preparations
Extemporaneous omeprazole-based preparations are commonly used in hospitals; however, there are no validated studies about physicochemical stability. This study aimed to determine if temperature, luminosity, and the type of diluent affect the stability of omeprazole in the extemporaneous preparation. For stability, the methodology validated previously by our group was used. The 2k experimental design included…
Read MoreAdvancements in Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Enhanced Transparency and Interpretability across Business Applications
This manuscript offers an in-depth analysis of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), em- phasizing its crucial role in developing transparent and ethically compliant AI systems. It traces AI’s evolution from basic algorithms to complex systems capable of autonomous de- cisions with self-explanation.
