The Taylor impact test was originally developed as a method for estimating the dynamic strength of ductile materials at high strain rates. More recently, the Taylor test has been used to verify material constitutive models by comparing numerical predictions with experimental data, since it provides...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) multitemporal and multipolarization change detection method has been widely utilized for wet snow extraction. Although SAR terrain correction can alleviate the geometric distortion caused by foreshortening and layover, it fails to fully eliminate terrain shadows and gr...

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) is a significant public health issue that affects children. It results from ethanol exposure during pregnancy, leading to considerable physical, neurodevelopmental, behavioral, and cognitive deficits. The exact mechanism is not well understood. Recently, consid...

In this paper, an event triggered control scheme is proposed for strict feedback nonlinear systems with dead-zone input, and external disturbance. In the threshold setting, inevitable measurement interference is considered and an unknown non-static threshold is constructed. Then, an error representa...

Piston rings are more susceptible to eccentricity in a complex service environment, which affects the overall performance and reliability of wet clutches. Therefore, in this study, the influence of eccentricity on the leakage characteristics of piston rings was investigated using numerical simulatio...

The bacterial community performs an essential ecological role in maintaining agriculture systems. The roles of bacteria in the forest, marine, and agricultural systems have been studied extensively and intensively. However, similar studies in the areas irrigated by the Yellow River remain limited. I...

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0311087.].

For tropical forests characterized by tall and densely packed trees, even long-wavelength SAR signals may fail to achieve full penetration, posing a significant challenge for retrieving sub-canopy terrain using polarimetric interferometric SAR (InSAR)(PolInSAR) techniques. This paper proposes a sing...

Our study is to explore the expression profiles and potential functions of circRNAs in prostate cancer (PCa). A total of 95 circRNAs and 830 mRNAs were screened to be significantly differentially expressed in PCa tissues by microarrays. Co-expression and competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) network we...
