Automatic skin lesion subtyping is a crucial step for diagnosing and treating skin cancer and acts as a first level diagnostic aid for medical experts. Although, in general, deep learning is very effective in image processing tasks, there are notable areas of the processing pipeline in the dermoscopic image regime that can benefit from refinement. Our work identifies two such areas for improvement. First, most benchmark dermoscopic datasets for skin cancers and lesions are highly imbalanced due to the relative rarity and commonality in the occurrence of specific lesion types. Deep learning methods tend to exhibit biased performance in favor of the majority classes with such datasets, leading to poor generalization. Second, dermoscopic images can be associated with irrelevant information in the form of skin color, hair, veins, etc.;hence, limiting the information available to a neural network by retaining only relevant portions of an input image has been successful in prompting the network towards learning task-relevant features and thereby improving its performance. Hence, this research work augments the skin lesion characterization pipeline in the following ways. First, it balances the dataset to overcome sample size biases. Two balancing methods, synthetic minority oversampling TEchnique (SMOTE) and Reweighting, are applied, compared, and analyzed. Second, a lesion segmentation stage is introduced before classification, in addition to a preprocessing stage, to retain only the region of interest. A baseline segmentation approach based on Bi-Directional ConvLSTM U-Net is improved using conditional adversarial training for enhanced segmentation performance. Finally, the classification stage is implemented using EfficientNets, where the B2 variant is used to benchmark and choose between the balancing and segmentation techniques, and the architecture is then scaled through to B7 to analyze the performance boost in lesion classification. From these experiments, we find

Pulsed current cathodic protection(PCCP) could be more effective than direct current cathodic protection(DCCP)for mitigating corrosion in buried structures in the oil and gas industries if appropriate pulsed parameters are chosen. The purpose of this research is to present the corrosion prevention mechanism of the PCCP technique by taking into account the effects of duty cycle as well as frequency, modeling the relationships between pulse parameters(frequency and duty cycle) and system outputs(corrosion rate, protective current and pipe-to-soil potential) and finally identifying the most effective protection conditions over a wide range of frequency(2–10 kHz) and duty cycle(25%-75%). For this, pipe-to-soil potential, pH, current and power consumption, corrosion rate, surface deposits and investigation of pitting corrosion were taken into account. To model the input-output relationship in the PCCP method, a data-driven machine learning approach was used by training an artificial neural network(ANN). The results revealed that the PCCP system could yield the best protection conditions at 10 kHz frequency and 50% duty cycle, resulting in the longest protection length with the lowest corrosion rate at a consumption current 0.3 time that of the DCCP method. In the frequency range of 6–10 kHz and duty cycles of 50%-75%, SEM images indicated a uniform distribution of calcite deposits and no pits on cathode surface.
