    Building types in France

    Clustering building morphometrics using national spatial data

    Alessandro Araldi1, David Emsellem2, Giovanni Fusco1, Andrea Tettamanzi3, Denis Overal2

    Revue Internationale de Géomatique, Vol.31, No.2, pp. 265-302, 2022, DOI:10.3166/RIG.31.265-302© 2022

    Abstract The identification and description of building typologies play a fundamental role in the understanding of the overall built-up form. A growing body of research is developing and implementing sophisticated, computer-aided protocols for the identification of building typologies. This paper shares the same goal. An innovative data-driven procedure for the unsupervised identification and description of building types and organization is here presented. After a specific pre-processing procedure, we develop an unsupervised clustering combining a new algorithm of Naive Bayes inference and hierarchical ascendant approaches relying on six morphometric features of buildings. This protocol allows us to identify groups of buildings sharing… More >

    Shulan Lei1,2, Shujuan Wang1, Zhuohong Zhu1,2, Min Lu1,2, Xinying Li1,2, Yiming Shen3, Jing Chen1,2,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.26, No.1, pp. 61-67, 2024, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.045478

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore the reliability and validity of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) among Chinese civil servants, thus establishing a useful tool for assessing the mental health of individuals in this occupation. The WEMWBS, Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were administered to a sample of 2,624 civil servants (42.860 ± 9.690 years) in a city located within Shandong Province, China. The findings revealed significant differences between groups with high and low scores on each item of the WEMWBS (t = 48.127–78.308, all p < 0.01). The item-total… More >

    A Novel Fractional Dengue Transmission Model in the Presence of Wolbachia Using Stochastic Based Artificial Neural Network

    Zeshan Faiz1, Iftikhar Ahmed1, Dumitru Baleanu2,3,4, Shumaila Javeed1,5,6,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.139, No.2, pp. 1217-1238, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029879

    Abstract The purpose of this research work is to investigate the numerical solutions of the fractional dengue transmission model (FDTM) in the presence of Wolbachia using the stochastic-based Levenberg-Marquardt neural network (LM-NN) technique. The fractional dengue transmission model (FDTM) consists of 12 compartments. The human population is divided into four compartments; susceptible humans (Sh), exposed humans (Eh), infectious humans (Ih), and recovered humans (Rh). Wolbachia-infected and Wolbachia-uninfected mosquito population is also divided into four compartments: aquatic (eggs, larvae, pupae), susceptible, exposed, and infectious. We investigated three different cases of vertical transmission probability (η), namely when Wolbachia-free mosquitoes persist only (η =… More >

    Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-induced autophagy ameliorates TNBS-induced experimental colitis by downregulating the NLRP3 inflammasome

    JINJIN FU1,#, XIAOYUE FENG2,#, JUAN WEI2, XIANG GENG1, YU GONG1, FENGDONG LI1, SHAOHUA ZHUANG1, JIN HUANG1, FANGYU WANG2,*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.12, pp. 2627-2639, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.042586

    Abstract Background: This study aimed to elucidate the potential mechanisms through which bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) may be effective in alleviating experimental colitis induced by treatment with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene-sulfonate acid (TNBS), specifically through autophagy modulation. Methods: BM-MSCs were collected from BALB/c mice for subsequent experiments. The study employed cell counting kits (CCK-8) to investigate the impact of the MSC-conditioned medium (M medium) on the proliferation of RAW264.7 macrophages. The GFP-mRFP-LC3 adenovirus was transfected into RAW264.7 to detect autophagic flux. The gene expression of cytokines was assessed through quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Western blot analysis was employed to… More >

    Design Optimization of Permanent Magnet Eddy Current Coupler Based on an Intelligence Algorithm

    Dazhi Wang*, Pengyi Pan, Bowen Niu

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.2, pp. 1535-1555, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.042286

    Abstract The permanent magnet eddy current coupler (PMEC) solves the problem of flexible connection and speed regulation between the motor and the load and is widely used in electrical transmission systems. It provides torque to the load and generates heat and losses, reducing its energy transfer efficiency. This issue has become an obstacle for PMEC to develop toward a higher power. This paper aims to improve the overall performance of PMEC through multi-objective optimization methods. Firstly, a PMEC modeling method based on the Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation (LMBP) neural network is proposed, aiming at the characteristics of the complex input-output relationship and… More >

    Game-changing insights on vertebral skeletal stem cells in bone metastasis and therapeutic horizons

    QIUQIANG CHEN1,*, XIAOLEI ZHAO2, WENXUE MA3,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.1, pp. 95-98, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.046174

    Abstract Greenblatt and his team have unveiled vertebral skeletal stem cells (vSSCs) as a critical player in the landscape of bone metastasis. This commentary delves into the transformative discoveries surrounding vSSCs, emphasizing their distinct role in bone metastasis compared to other stem cell lineages. We illuminate the unique properties and functions of vSSCs, which may account for the elevated susceptibility of vertebral bones to metastatic invasion. Furthermore, we explore the exciting therapeutic horizons opened by this newfound understanding. These include potential interventions targeting vSSCs, modulation of associated signaling pathways, and broader implications for the treatment and management of bone metastasis.

    Oncology Research, Vol.31, No.5, pp. 689-696, 2023, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.030351

    Abstract Radiation therapy (RT) is typically applied using one of two standard approaches for preoperative treatment of resectable locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC): short-course RT (SC-RT) alone or long-course RT (LC-RT) with concurrent fluorouracil (5-FU) chemotherapy. The Phase II single-arm KROG 11-02 study using intermediate-course (IC) (33 Gy (Gray)/10 fr (fraction) with concurrent capecitabine) preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) demonstrated a pathologically complete response rate and a sphincter-sparing rate that were close to those of LC-CRT. The current trial aim to compare the pathological/oncological outcomes, toxicity, and quality of life results of LC-CRT and IC-CRT in cases of LARC. The prescribed dose was… More >

    MHD FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER IN A WILLIAMSON FLUID FROM A VERTICAL PERMEABLE CONE WITH THERMAL AND MOMENTUM SLIP EFFECTS: A MATHEMATICAL STUDY

    CH. Amanullaa,b,* , N. Nagendraa , M. Suryanarayana Reddyb

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.8, pp. 1-11, 2017, DOI:10.5098/hmt.8.40

    Abstract A theoretical and computational study of the magneto hydrodynamic flow and free convection heat transfer in an electro-conductive polymer on the external surface of a vertical permeable cone under radial magnetic field is presented. Thermal and velocity (hydrodynamic) slip are considered at the vertical permeable cone surface via modified boundary conditions. The Williamson viscoelastic model is employed which is representative of certain industrial polymers. The non-dimensional, transformed boundary layer equations for momentum and energy are solved with the second order accurate implicit Keller box finite difference method under appropriate boundary conditions. Validation of the numerical solutions is achieved via benchmarking… More >
