IntroductionDiabetes Mellitus (DM) constitutes a global epidemic and is one of the top ten leading causes of mortality (WHO, 2019), projected to rank seventh by 2030. The US National Diabetes Statistics Report (2021) states that 38.4 million Americans have diabetes. Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is...

In the framework of the general question about the perception of Turgenev’s novel “The Noble Nest” in China, in the article the assessments of this work were examined, which were proposed by the famous Chinese translator and connoisseur of Russian culture Lei Ran. The novelty of the research lies in...

<p>Fuel combustion is an important primary source of carbonyl compounds (CCs), yet the emission factors and influencing factors of CCs in different sources remain unclear. The emission characteristics, influencing factors, and ozone formation potentials of CCs from four combustion sources, inc...

We write down the force-free electrodynamics equations in dipole coordinates and solve for axisymmetric normal modes corresponding to Alfvénic perturbations in the magnetosphere of a neutron star. We show that a single Alfvén wave propagating on dipole field lines spontaneously sources a fast magnet...

The popularisation of Glaser’s grounded theory (GT) methodology in China over the past two decades or so has seen some faithful use of classic (Glaserian) GT in several areas (i.e. psychology, culture of rule of law, and nursing) amid the overall misuse and abuse of the methodology. And arising fro...

Image-to-point cloud (I2P) registration plays a vital role in applications requiring accurate spatial alignment between 2D images and their corresponding 3D point clouds. Traditional I2P methods often require extensive training to generalise across diverse environments and rely on intrinsic camera p...

Simple optical force sensors have many uses but suffer from relatively low sensitivity or low fabrication-tolerance. We have demonstrated that pure skew rays can enhance the sensitivity of a bend-loss-based force sensor over the mixture of rays created from a normal incidence by a factor of 3.8 to e...

Energy harvesting devices based on the triboelectric and piezoelectric principles have been widely developed to scavenge wasteful and tiny mechanical energy into usable electrical energy. In particular, triboelectric energy harvesting generators with relatively simpler structure and piezoelectric fi...

<p>Wildfires have shown increasing trends in both frequency and severity across the contiguous United States (CONUS). However, process-based fire models have difficulties in accurately simulating the burned area over the CONUS due to a simplification of the physical process and cannot capture...

The article is devoted to the problem of predicting the viscosity of an oil mixture. Viscosity is an important characteristic of oil when calculating pressure losses due to friction when moving in a well, through field pipelines, through a network of main oil pipelines. In the presence of a complex...

3D scene flow aims to recover the dense geometry and 3D motion of dynamic scenes. This paper explores the transformation and adaptation of the 2D-3D feature space in the joint estimation of optical flow and scene flow. Our key insight is to fully leverage the unique characteristics of each modality...

Based on methods such as airborne oblique photogrammetry and laser scanning, high-precision urban 3D point clouds can be obtained. However, existing airborne 3D data acquisition techniques are prone to interference from dense building occlusions or vegetation cover, making it difficult to capture co...

ABSTRACT: Whey protein is widely recognized as a high-quality protein source, primarily derived from dairy products. This type of protein is valued not only for its remarkable nutritional benefits but also for its substantial antioxidant properties and its capacity to reduce inflammation. Previous s...

With the continuous advancement of urbanization, the demand for comprehensive monitoring of diverse suburban areas is increasing, which simultaneously raises the need for high-precision positioning technologies especially for the automatic positioning for video surveillance imagery. The current chal...

Abstract Filtering methods have been widely used to improve the forecast performances of hydrological models. Although extensive research has been carried out on filtering methods in the hydrology literature, researchers have not treated the noise statistics of filtering methods in much detail. Wron...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of monochromatic light on the growth performance, muscle development, and blood parameters of goslings from one to 14 days of age. A total of 192 male Sichuan White goslings were randomly assigned at hatching to four treatment groups of 48 birds,...
