Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) has become an essential surface characterization technique in research and development.By concept, SPM performance crucially depends on the quality of the nano-probe element, in particular, the apex radius.Now, with the development of advanced SPM modes beyond morphology mapping, new challenges have emerged regarding
Intelligent corrosion diagnosis plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency of operation and maintenance for steel structures.Presently, corrosion detection primarily depends on manual visual inspections and non-destructive testing methods, which are inefficient, costly, and subject to human bias.While machine vision has demonstrated significa
Background and Aims.Currently around 67 million people in Europe are affected by some form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).As most known types of vitreoretinal (VR) interface disorders can coexist with AMD and as we can favourably affect the former with vitreoretinal surgery, our goal was to evaluate the results of vitreoretinal interface
Bacterial infestation of the male reproductive system with subsequent effects of bacteria on the structural integrity and functional activity of male gametes has become a significant factor in the etiology of male reproductive dysfunction.Bacteria may affect male fertility either by directly interacting with structures critical for sperm survival o
The City of Florence, Italy, has been carrying out a large data integration and consolidation process since 2003, that was Optical metrology embraces deep learning: keeping an open mind even more improved and targeted to an open and federated approach during 2009.Results of such a process are now being exploited in several current hot eGovernment f
