Abstract: Provided are a system and a method for cardiovascular risk prediction, where artificial intelligence is utilized to perform segmentation on non-contrast or contrast medical images to identify precise regions of the heart, pericardium, and aorta of a subject, such that the adipose tissue volume and calcium score can be derived from the medical images to assist in cardiovascular risk prediction. Also provided is a computer readable medium for storing a computer executable code to implement the method.

Abstract: A system and a method for recognition of an orchard on a geographic area are provided. The system includes a pre-processing module for deriving a target section of an aerial image containing a parcel of an orchard, an image optimization module for performing customized image processing on the target section of the aerial image, and a recognition module for determining a type and a border of the orchard present on the target section of the aerial image with a deep learning mechanism. Accordingly, farmers and agricultural entities can effectively monitor orchards within different geographic areas so as to yield better fruit production and conduct better fruit quality control and land utilization.

Abstract: A microfluidic device includes a substrate, a microchannel, a plurality of spaced-apart pillars, and a porous nanofiber structure. The substrate has a substrate top surface. The microchannel is indented downwardly from the substrate top surface. The pillars are disposed in the microchannel. Each of the pillars has a pillar top surface that is lower in level than the substrate top surface. The porous nanofiber web structure is formed in the microchannel, and includes a first web portion residing in a space formed among the pillars.

Abstract: A gas sensor includes a substrate, a pair of spaced-apart electrodes, and a detecting layer. The electrodes are disposed on the substrate with a region of the substrate exposed therefrom. Each of the electrodes is made of a graphene-based material. The detecting layer is disposed on the exposed region of the substrate and the electrodes. A method of making the gas sensor is also disclosed.

Abstract: A display apparatus is disclosed. The display apparatus includes a display panel. The display panel includes an upper substrate, a lower substrate, a main sealant, and at least one supporting sealant. The display panel includes an active area and a peripheral circuit area adjacent to the active area. The main sealant is disposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The main sealant is disposed out of the active area to form a sealed area. The sealed area covers the active area and a part of the peripheral circuit area. The at least one supporting sealant is disposed in the sealed area and out of the active area. The distance between at least one side of the main sealant and the active area is different from the distances between the other sides of the main sealant and the active area.
