Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heavy metal exposure is known to have various effects on renal function and blood glucose regulation. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of cement dust and some metal (cadmium, manganese, nickel, and zinc) exposure on blood glucose and renal function parameters in male cement plant workers.

Robust Self-Supervised Monocular Depth Estimation via Intrinsic Albedo-Guided Multi-Task Learning
Applied SciencesSelf-supervised monocular depth estimation has demonstrated high practical utility, as it can be trained using a photometric image reconstruction loss between the original image and a reprojected image generated from the estimated depth and relative pose,

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.We provide a historic overview of microscopic soil structure characterization from its founding father, Walter Kubiëna, to several technical revolutions like automation, digitalization, and artificial intelligence. In addition to technical advancements, we explore how concepts and research questions have evolved in time.

Parameter measurement based on photometric images
Astronomy & AstrophysicsThe gas-phase metallicity is a crucial parameter for understanding the evolution of galaxies. Considering that the number of multiband galaxy images can typically reach tens of millions, using these images as input data to predict gas-phase metallicity has become a feasible method.

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sustaining soil potassium (K) supply in intensive continuous cropping systems is increasingly challenging because long‐term crop removal often exceeds the natural replenishment capacity of soil K‐bearing minerals, leading to progressive depletion of plant‐available K pools.

Photometric invariance for intrinsic image decomposition
, 2023 Intrinsic image decomposition is the process of recovering the image formation components (reflectance and shading) from an image. Previous methods employ either explicit priors to constrain the problem or implicit constraints as formulated by their losses (deep learning). As shading transitions are generally smoother than reflectance (albedo) changes,

Reliability of Light Curves for Photometric Imaging
The Astrophysical Journal, 1999 An error analysis of the inverse photometric problem is performed. The uncertainties of the input parameters, which are the brightness measurements and the linear limb-darkening coefficients at the effective wavelength of the observations, are analytically propagated to compute the uncertainties of the solution parameters [size (r), latitude (β ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Long‐term cultivation can improve soil health, but recovery may not follow the same pathway across contrasting soil and climate conditions. A key unresolved question is whether soil health recovery is mainly associated with the release of physical–chemical constraints or with the gradual rebuilding of carbon, microbial biomass, and nutrient ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Subalpine meadows play important roles in biodiversity conservation and soil carbon sequestration, but gully erosion poses a serious threat to their ecological stability. Soil shear strength (τ) is a key mechanical parameter for evaluating gully stability and soil resistance to failure. However, the spatial variation in soil shear strength and

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineered key‐layer materials remain unclear.
