Abstract Maintaining the integrity and longevity of structures is essential in many industries, such as aerospace, nuclear, and petroleum. To achieve the cost-effectiveness of large-scale systems in petroleum drilling, a strong emphasis on structural durability and monitoring is required. This study focuses on the mechanical vibrations that occur in rotary drilling systems, which have a substantial impact on the structural integrity of drilling equipment. The study specifically investigates axial, torsional, and lateral vibrations, which might lead to negative consequences such as bit-bounce, chaotic whirling, and high-frequency stick-slip. These events not only hinder the efficiency of drilling… More >

Abstract In the field of computer vision and pattern recognition, knowledge based on images of human activity has gained popularity as a research topic. Activity recognition is the process of determining human behavior based on an image. We implemented an Extended Kalman filter to create an activity recognition system here. The proposed method applies an HSI color transformation in its initial stages to improve the clarity of the frame of the image. To minimize noise, we use Gaussian filters. Extraction of silhouette using the statistical method. We use Binary Robust Invariant Scalable Keypoints (BRISK) and SIFT More >

Abstract The interaction between the particle and the bubble under the ultrasonic wave excitation plays a pivotal role in various applications such as targeted therapy, ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonography, and microbubble motors. When the particle is in close proximity or even attached to the bubble, a strong fluid-structure interaction occurs, significantly influencing the particle propulsion. The attachment of the bubble to the particle results in distinct bubble pulsation patterns and particle acceleration mechanisms from the non-contact state. Thus, we propose a fluid-structure interaction model based on the boundary integral method (BIM) to comprehensively consider the distance between More >

Abstract The cell-cell interaction between immune cells and tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment plays an important role in the genesis and development of tumors. However, due to the lack of methods to systematically identify the interaction between the two, the specific molecular mechanisms involved are not well understood. The microfluidic platform provides a high-throughput and precise method for studying cell interactions in microreactive systems. However, the traditional platform for studying cell interactions is the closed droplet system, which is easy to cause the consumption of nutrients and the accumulation of wastes, thus interfering with cell… More >

Abstract Due to its flexibility and foldable ability, the inflatable wing is widely employed to loitering munitions and aerostats [1-3]. Meanwhile, as a typical flexible thin-walled structure, the wrinkling and buckling behaviors of the inflatable wing induced in flight will limit its load-bearing capacity [4,5]. Therefore, a wrinkling-resistant structural configuration is the key to improving performance of the inflatable wing. Among various schemes, the swept baffled structure is considered to have the potential to retard wrinkling because of the designable axis of twist [6,7]. However, owing to the flexible large deformation of inflatable wing under aerodynamic… More >

Abstract Plants interact with a complex network of microorganisms, forming a dynamic holobiont that is crucial for their health, growth, and adaptation. This interconnected system is deeply influenced by environmental factors, which modulate the relationships within the plant microbiome. Key environmental drivers such as light, temperature, and moisture can alter the balance of these interactions, impacting plant immunity, resilience, and overall fitness. The traditional disease triangle model, which emphasizes plant-pathogen-environment interactions, is enhanced by incorporating the role of the microbiome, revealing how microbial communities contribute to disease outcomes. This review highlights the importance of shifting focus More >

Abstract Human Interaction Recognition (HIR) was one of the challenging issues in computer vision research due to the involvement of multiple individuals and their mutual interactions within video frames generated from their movements. HIR requires more sophisticated analysis than Human Action Recognition (HAR) since HAR focuses solely on individual activities like walking or running, while HIR involves the interactions between people. This research aims to develop a robust system for recognizing five common human interactions, such as hugging, kicking, pushing, pointing, and no interaction, from video sequences using multiple cameras. In this study, a hybrid Deep… More >

Abstract Gestures are one of the most natural and intuitive approach for human-computer interaction. Compared with traditional camera-based or wearable sensors-based solutions, gesture recognition using the millimeter wave radar has attracted growing attention for its characteristics of contact-free, privacy-preserving and less environment-dependence. Although there have been many recent studies on hand gesture recognition, the existing hand gesture recognition methods still have recognition accuracy and generalization ability shortcomings in short-range applications. In this paper, we present a hand gesture recognition method named multiscale feature fusion (MSFF) to accurately identify micro hand gestures. In MSFF, not only the More >

Abstract The damage process of ship structures under near-field underwater explosions involves strong nonlinear coupling effects of multiple media, and its numerical simulation poses a serious challenge to traditional numerical algorithms. Based on previous research, this article first establishes a highly compressible multiphase flow numerical calculation model based on the high-precision Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) and a ship elastic-plastic damage dynamic model based on the meshless Reproducing Kernel Particle Method (RKPM). Furthermore, we develop an algorithm for grid-independent dynamic expansion of cracks. Based on this, the Boundary Data Immersion Method (BDIM) is used to couple the More >

Abstract Photodetectors with long detection distances and fast responses are important media in constructing a non-contact human-machine interface for the human-machine interaction. All-inorganic perovskite have excellent optoelectronic performance with high moisture and oxygen resistance, making them one of the promising candidates for high-performance photodetectors, but a simple, low-cost and reliable fabrication technology is urgently needed. Here, a dual-function laser etching method is developed to complete both the lyophilic split-ring structure and electrode patterning. This novel split-ring structure can capture the perovskite precursor droplet efficiently and achieve the uniform and compact deposition of CsPbBr3 films. Furthermore, our… More >
