Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods.

These stories are a reflection of cultural conscience; a lens through which we can view the world and a mirror ...

Robust Multi‐Source Batch Normalisation for Test‐Time Batch Adaptation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Test‐Time Batch Adaptation (TTBA) aims to adapt a pre‐trained source model to small, unlabelled target batches at test time. The TTBA methods focus on adapting the pre‐trained model or the target data in a one‐to‐one alignment paradigm. However, these one‐to‐one alignment paradigms assume that the source domain may share the same knowledge ...
