Attention‐Based Fusion of Pretrained MaskPoint and Point‐MAE Representations for Enhanced Point Cloud Classification

open access: yesIET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper presents an attention‐based fusion framework that combines complementary self‐supervised representations learned by Point‐MAE and MaskPoint for 3D point cloud classification. Features from the pretrained encoders are fused using multi‐layer attention and cross‐attention mechanisms, with cross‐attention achieving the highest classification ...

222Rn and 220Rn Levels in Drinking Water, the Related Health Implications, and Influencing Environmental Parameters in the Volcanic Area of Nkongsamba, Cameroon

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn), both naturally occurring radioactive gases, are significant contributors to radiation exposure, posing risks such as lung and stomach cancer. This study assesses radon and thoron concentrations in drinking water sources within the volcanic region of Nkongsamba, Cameroon.

PASS‐NOMA: Waveguide Channel‐Aware User Pairing With Adaptive SIC

open access: yesInternational Journal of Antennas and Propagation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper proposes a new framework called pinching antenna systems–nonorthogonal multiple access (PASS–NOMA), which combines the inherent physical properties of waveguide channels with the NOMA technology. The proposed system employs an adaptive pairing strategy with successive interference cancellation to increase the system’s spectral efficiency ...
