VISION TRANSFORMER USING FRACTIONAL GRADIENT ATTENTION TOOLS FOR ROBUST IMAGE CLASSIFICATION
Vision Transformers (ViTs) have attained very promising results in the field of computer vision, but those models continue to face several critical issues such as gradient saturation and poor generalization on smaller datasets. The current attention mechanisms are inefficient to resolve issues by the leading to ineffective feature extraction and an...

OPTIMIZED GIS-BASED RISK MAPPING OF WATER WALLS IN KIRKUK CITY
In Kirkuk City, Iraq, groundwater pollution is increasingly a problem due to intense urbanization, population growth, and unregulated water well drilling. Although the systematic assessment of groundwater pollution is essential to domestic and agricultural applications, the systematic analysis of its contamination has not been conducted, and the cu...

NEURO ADAPTIVE METACOGNITIVE PROMPTING STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING SELF REGULATED LEARNING AND CRITICAL THINKING IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE EDUCATION
The growing recognition of Psychological Science education as a domain that demands higher-level thinking has revealed that students still exhibit chronic shortcomings in self-regulated learning (SRL) and critical thinking. Reports indicate that about 42% of undergraduate psychology students have low metacognitive monitoring accuracy, and more than...

EFFECT OF SAND SHELL IMPROVEMENT USING POLYPROPYLENE FIBER AND CEMENT ON THE SEISMIC RESPONSE OF SMALL-SCALE ZONED EARTH DAM MODELS
The application of sand as shell materials in zoned earth dams is common due to its availability and economic factors. Nevertheless, it is necessary to analyze the performance of such materials under the simultaneous effect of seepage and earthquake loads, especially when the core of the structure is formed from low permeable materials. The present...

SECNET ARCHITECTURE FOR AI-DRIVEN ACCESS CONTROL AND REAL-TIME THREAT DETECTION IN BLOCKCHAIN SYSTEMS
Storage systems must be verifiably secure, and access control must be fine grained and transparent, and must provide audit trails for modern cyber-physical and cloud ecosystems. While blockchain ensures immutability and traceability of data, it does not have the ability to make real-time authorization decisions, identify abnormal behavior, or...

AN ADAPTIVE BUTTERFLY OPTIMIZATION-DRIVEN EXPLAINABLE CNN–TRANSFORMER FRAMEWORK FOR ACCURATE AND TRUSTWORTHY CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS
Clinically-oriented AI-based diagnostic systems have exhibited impressive predictive accuracies; however, their poor interpretability capabilities and incapability to optimize their learning parameters in eal-time pose a major challenge towards implementing such solutions in the actual healthcare settings. To overcome such limitations, in thi...

DYNAMIC PANEL INVESTIGATION OF CORPORATE CASH HOLDINGS AND THEIR FINANCIAL OPERATIONAL AND GOVERNANCE DETERMINANTS IN VIETNAMESE RETAIL FIRMS
The study seeks to identify the joint effect of financial, operating, and governance features on the cash levels of retail firms listed in Vietnam. Instead of viewing the cash policy as a one-time decision that determines the cash balance, we model the cash level as a dynamic process where the current level is a function of past periods' cash level...

MODIFIED ATTENTION U-DENSENET FOR 13-CLASS LUMBAR SPINE MRI SEGMENTATION
Low back pain can be caused by lumbar disc disorders; however, correct segmentation of the structures of the vertebrae and the disc disorders using MRI is crucial for clinical evaluation. In this case, previous deep-learning segmentation approaches have mainly concentrated on the segmentation of anatomical structures and lacked pathology-aware disc...

ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF CAPITAL BUFFER ON RISK TAKING AND BANK PERFORMANCE IN VIETNAMESE COMMERCIAL BANKS
This paper examines the determinants of capital buffers (CB) of 31 Vietnamese commercial banks over the period 2010-2024, taking into account the impact of income diversification ("DIV") under regulatory constraints (CARmin). In order to tackle endogeneity, unobservable heterogeneity, and panel persistence issues, a dynamic system GMM two-step proc...
