Computer vision is a significant field of application of mathematical models developed to monitor 3D anatomical locations of the human body, particularly in robotics, surveillance, and medicine. In this paper, we present a new model that applies the Kalman filter (KF) to track 3D anatomical features in real time with increased precision. The approa...

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...

The paper is aimed at enhancing the computational method of Geosynthetic-Encased Columns (GECs) that enhance the engineering structures' foundations on weak soils. This method has proven to be effective in many projects, and the current technique fails to consider the distribution of stresses in the soil-filler, especially in loose soils. This stud...

Large-Scale Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets) are needed to deliver high capacity and reliable connectivity, as wireless communication demands. Nevertheless, the high density and diversity of base stations in the settings pose a great challenge in terms of Energy Efficiency (EE), Load Balancing (LB), and Interference Management (IM). Conventional ce...

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...

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...

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...
