Infrared small-target detection remains a critical challenge in military reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, forest-fire prevention, and search-and-rescue operations, owing to the targets’ extremely small size, sparse texture, low signal-to-noise ratio, and complex background interference. Tra...

The friction in the sheet forming process is characterized by high contact pressure, large actual contact area and constantly changing friction surface, and the lubrication condition is very severe. In this paper, a forced lubrication process that relies on pressure from external power is proposed a...

To enhance the ability of Cyber Physical Social Intelligence (CPSI) to process three-dimensional spatial information, we investigate the problem of object detection in 3D Light laser Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) point clouds. Traditional point-based processing pipelines typically reduce memory and...

The attenuation of bolt preload is a critical factor leading to bolt fatigue failure, whereas the study of the nonlinear attenuation behavior of preload and its mechanism during installation is an inevitable challenge in engineering practice. The attenuation of the preload of a bolt is mainly relate...

This paper proposes a speech enhancement method using the multi-scales and multi-thresholds of the auditory perception wavelet transform, which is suitable for a low SNR (signal to noise ratio) environment. This method achieves the goal of noise reduction according to the threshold processing of...

Abstract Non-Technical Summary As cities like Beijing expand rapidly, green and blue spaces (GBS)—essential for ecosystem services (ESs) such as clean air, flood control, and recreation—are increasingly threatened. This 20-year study examines how urban expansion and policy interventions have shaped...

BackgroundSymptom relief in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) varies widely, influenced by demographic, clinical, and psychosocial factors. Identifying factors associated with symptom relief can enhance management strategies for IBS patients.ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine factors associated with...

Water-gas shift (WGS) reaction is an important process linking gasification syngas upgrading to downstream synthesis of pure H2 or hydrogen-based fuels such as ammonia, methanol, and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The conventional WGS reaction is a long process that includes syngas cleaning and co...

To investigate the adhesion characteristics and sanding effect of rail vehicles on a contaminated rail surface, an innovative wheel/ring configuration test rig, named the PLS-Circulator, was employed. Based on the equivalence principle, the sanding condition relationship between the test rig and the...

Abstract Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) are critical components of global energy and water cycles and significantly contribute to extreme weather events. However, projecting future MCS behavior remains challenging due to the limitations of regional models and the inadequate representation of MC...

Studies have demonstrated that regulation of GDNF on male germline stem cells (mGSCs) mainly through Ras/Erk1/2, Src family kinase and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways, but the signaling pathways GDNF-mediated are different when the species and cell lines varied. Whether GDNF regulates self-renewal of mG...

Cuticular proteins (CPs) are major components of the insect cuticle-associated organs such as integument and wings, although the importance of CPs for wing development and function in hemimetabolous insects remains understudied. In the present study, a wing cuticular protein LmACP8 was identified fr...

The prevalence of obesity has steadily increased over the past few decades. Previous studies suggest that obesity is an oncogenic factor and that over 20% of all cancers are obesity-related. Among such cancers, digestive system malignancies (including esophageal adenocarcinomas, colorectal cancers,...

In this paper, a new lifting wavelet domain audio watermarking algorithm based on the statistical characteristics of sub-band coefficients is proposed. First of all, an original audio signal was segmented and each segment was divided into two sections. Then, the Barker code was used for synchronizat...

Ear-related traits are often selection targets for maize improvement. This study used an immortalized F2 (IF2) population to elucidate the genetic basis of ear-related traits. Twelve ear-related traits (namely, row number (RN), kernel number per row (KNPR), ear length (EL), ear diameter (ED), ten-ke...
