Vertical distribution, growth pattern, and age of an alien freshwater mussel, Sinanodonta pacifica, across elevations gradient on a tropical island and their implication for ecosys... by Asep Sahidin, Gunawan Muhammad, Pringgo Kusuma Dwi Noor Yadi Putra, Irfan Zidni, Zahidah Hasan, Bayu Kreshna Adhitya Sumarto, Septiana Sri Astuti, Yusli Wardiatno, Akira Komaru

“…Mussels were collected over one-year period (2020–2021) from lowland (0–300 m above sea level), midland (300–750 m), and highland (> 750 m) regions to examine density, age structure, growth pattern, and mortality. In midland, the highest population density 5.63 ± 1.83 individuals/m² and the fastest growth rate (growth coefficient, k = 0.26) was shown attributed to moderate temperatures, low suspended solids, and nutrient availability. …”

EEG–fNIRS signal integration for motor imagery classification using deep learning and evidence theory by Mohammed E. Seno, Niladri Maiti, Maulik Patel, Mihirkumar M. Patel, Kalpesh B. Chaudhary, Ashish Pasaya, Babacar Toure

“…For EEG signals, spatiotemporal features are extracted using dual-scale temporal convolution and depthwise separable convolution, and a hybrid attention module is introduced to enhance the network's sensitivity to salient neural patterns. For fNIRS signals, spatial convolution across all channels is employed to explore activation differences among brain regions, and parallel temporal convolution combined with a gated recurrent unit (GRU) captures richer temporal dynamics of the hemodynamic response. …”
