This work investigates the electroosmotic peristaltic transport of a Casson (blood)-based hybrid nanofluid via an asymmetric channel embedded inside a porous medium. The model takes into consideration electric and magnetic field effects, Ohmic heating, as well as velocity and thermal slip conditions. The governing equations are simplified and solved by employing unsupervised sigmoid-based neural networks (SNNs), Fibonacci-based neural networks (FNNs), and their hybrid model (FSNNs) under the assumptions of low Reynolds number and long wavelength. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is conducted among SNNs, FNNs, and FSNNs to evaluate their performance. The results reveal that the FSNNs demonstrate superior accuracy and stability compared to the other models. The results show that the temperature rises with larger values of the Grashof number, Brinkman number, and heat source/sink parameter, while lowers with higher values of Casson parameter, porosity factor, and velocity slip parameter. The pressure gradient grows with increasing , , and but decreases as Hartmann number increases. This study sheds light on the design of efficient microfluidic, biomedical, and thermal management systems, emphasizing the role of electromagnetic modulation and hybrid nanofluids in improving performance and control.

Background: Circumcision is a widely practiced procedure with cultural and medical significance. However, certain penile abnormalities-such as hypospadias or webbed penis-may contraindicate the procedure and require specialized care. In low-resource settings, limited access to pediatric urologists often leads to missed or delayed diagnoses.

This study aimed to develop a deep-learning model for the automatic classification of mandibular fractures using panoramic radiographs. A pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) was used to classify fractures based on a novel, clinically relevant classification system. The dataset comprised 800 panoramic radiographs obtained from patients with facial trauma.

Sparse connectivity is a hallmark of the brain and a desired property of artificial neural networks. It promotes energy efficiency, simplifies training, and enhances the robustness of network function. Thus, a detailed understanding of how to achieve sparsity without jeopardizing network performance is beneficial for neuroscience, deep learning, and neuromorphic computing applications.

Background And Objective: Male fertility assessment through sperm morphology analysis remains a critical component of reproductive health evaluation, as abnormal sperm morphology is strongly correlated with reduced fertility rates and poor assisted reproductive technology outcomes. Traditional manual analysis performed by embryologists is time-intensive, subjective, and prone to significant inter-observer variability, with studies reporting up to 40% disagreement between expert evaluators. This research presents a novel deep learning framework combining Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) with ResNet50 architecture and advanced deep feature engineering (DFE) techniques for automated, objective sperm morphology classification.

Predictive coding (PC) proposes that our brains work as an inference machine, generating an internal model of the world and minimizing predictions errors (i.e., differences between external sensory evidence and internal prediction signals).
