Combining PhenoBrain’s predictions with specialists increased the top-3 recall to 0.768, demonstrating its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy in clinical workflows.…”

Ensuring sustainable water security through sustainable land management: Research evidences for policy by Dagnachew, M, Gebrehiwot, SG, Bewket, W, Alamirew, T, Charles, K, Zeleke, G

“…Hence, national and local level of SLM and water security linkages, impacts, and policy implications must come on board in the least developing countries like Ethiopia.
