Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Mental illness is increasingly recognized as a substantial public health challenge worldwide. With the advent of social media, these platforms have become pivotal for individuals to express their emotions, thoughts, and experiences, thereby serving as a rich resource for mental health research. This paper is devoted to the creation of a comprehensive dataset and an innovative data annotation methodology to explore the underlying causes of these mental health issues. Our approach included the extraction of over one million Reddit posts from five different subreddits, spanning the pre-pandemic, during-pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. These posts were methodically annotated using a set of specific criteria, aimed at identifying various root causes. This rigorous process produced a richly categorized dataset, invaluable for detailed analysis. The complete unlabelled dataset, along with a subset that has been expertly annotated, is prepared for public release, as outlined in the data availability section. This dataset is a critical resource for training and fine-tuning machine learning models to identify the foundational triggers of individual mental health issues, offering valuable insights for practical interventions and future research in this domain.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most prevalent form of cardiovascular disease that may result in myocardial infarction. Annually, it leads to millions of fatalities and causes billions of dollars in global economic losses. Limited resources and complexities in interpreting results pose challenges to healthcare centers in implementing deep learning (DL)-based CAD detection models. Ensemble learning (EL) allows developers to build an effective CAD detection model by integrating the outcomes of multiple medical imaging models. In this study, the authors build an EL-based CAD detection model to identify CAD from coronary computer tomography angiography (CCTA) images. They employ a feature engineering technique, including MobileNet V3, CatBoost, and LightGBM models. A random forest (RF) classifier is used to ensemble the outcomes of the CatBoost and LightGBM models. The authors generalize the model using two benchmark datasets. The proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.7% and 99.6% with limited computational resources. The generalization results highlight the importance of the proposed model’s efficiency in identifying CAD from the CCTA images. Healthcare centers and cardiologists can benefit from the proposed model to identify CAD in the initial stages. The proposed feature engineering can be extended using a liquid neural network model to reduce computational resources. Full article
