Syntactic Analysis of Nominal Clauses Based on Chomsky’s Generative Grammar and Implications for Language Teaching
Authors: Zhang Shuting , Guan Shanshan
Published: October 2024

Nominal clause is a clause with nominal feature and syntactic analysis is the study of laws of sentence constructions. And Chomsky’s Generative Grammar is a very useful method to analyse a sentence in an explanatory way. This paper aims to focus on how to understand a nominal clause under Generative Grammar (GG) for the explanatory adequacy. In doing so, it will give a brief explanation to the generative mechanisms of simple sentence under GG, then move on to the similar mechanisms of complex sentence, here, it will focus on nominal clauses. On the syntactic analysis of nominal clauses, there are two steps: first recognizing its position in the whole sentence, then picking a proper connective for the nominal clause. Notice this paper will analyse a complex noun sentence for two sentences, one is the whole sentence, and another is the small clause, namely, the nominal clause within the whole sentence. Thus, it can conclude a way to analyse nominal clauses syntactically, and understand their inner constructions. Furthermore, it can explain why a nominal clause form like this and have a better understanding of complex sentences. More importantly, such method can play its role in linguistics and foreign language teaching, which would help language teachers build up a better understanding of the nature of language and the process of language learning.

Authors: Luo Youtian , Li Dan
Published: October 2024

The classification of different image data is a common task in real life, which has been achieved as early as convolutional neural networks. With the emergence of R-CNN (Region CNN), simple classification tasks began to develop towards object detection tasks, followed by various segmentation tasks. After Faster R-CNN [4], Mask R-CNN [3] achieved instance segmentation while detecting objects. This algorithm model needs to distinguish different target objects in the image panel and learn a large number of characteristics to represent the details of each target object. In dog data images, there are differences and similarities in the characteristics of dog species, such as fur color, texture, and body shape. So in this article, the author selected and created two different dog datasets, representing targets with significant differences and similarities in features. Compare and analyze the performance of Mask R-CNN object detection and instance segmentation using these two dog datasets.

Multi-Beam Surveying Ocean Exploration Model and Applications
Authors: Yang Wenbo , Li Zhenzhen , Tang Fei
Published: October 2024

With the development of artificial intelligence, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technology has garnered increasing attention. This paper first proposes a surface reconstruction algorithm based on curvature information, which is applicable to two different sensor structures: implanted FBG sensors and whisker array sensors. The design and analysis of these sensors are based on a pure bending model, where the corresponding bending curvature is obtained by measuring the wavelength shift of the fiber Bragg grating at the measurement points. Next, the paper elaborates on the surface reconstruction algorithm for the implanted FBG sensor. This sensor contains FBG sensing points that are evenly distributed. Curvature information corresponding to the position can be obtained based on the direction and magnitude of the wavelength shift. The fiber bending is considered as a connection of multiple arc segments, and the coordinates of the sensing points are calculated in the Cartesian coordinate system using the properties of the tangents. The fiber bending curve is then reconstructed by connecting the arc segments in MATLAB. Finally, the paper provides a detailed introduction to the surface reconstruction algorithm for the whisker array sensor. When the whiskers bend, the FBGs fixed on them act as curvature sensors. The curvature is determined by the FBG wavelength shift, and the three-dimensional coordinates of the whisker tip relative to the base are calculated based on a geometric model. MATLAB is then used to connect the whisker tip coordinates, completing the construction of the surface.
Comparative Modulation of Immune Responses and Inflammation by n-6 and n-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Oxylipin-Mediated Pathways
Authors: Wang Yawen , Shen Miaohong , Wang Lilu , Wen Yan , Cai Hongwei
Published: October 2024

Our study investigates the comparative effects of n-6 and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on immune modulation and inflammation using a fat-1 transgenic mouse model capable of endogenously converting n-6 PUFAs to n-3 PUFAs. The results show that n-6 PUFAs, particularly arachidonic acid (AA), promote a pro-inflammatory environment by increasing the production of inflammatory mediators, including leukotrienes and prostaglandins, while upregulating NFκB signaling and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In contrast, n-3 PUFAs, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), exhibit anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving properties by enhancing the production of resolvins, protectins, and maresins, and upregulating PPARα expression. Quantitatively, n-3 PUFAs led to a 4-fold increase in resolvin levels compared to the n-6 group (p < 0.001), promoting a resolution of inflammation. This study underscores the critical importance of maintaining an optimal balance between n-6 and n-3 PUFAs in the diet to prevent chronic inflammation and suggests that increasing dietary n-3 PUFAs may mitigate inflammation-driven diseases. The findings highlight the need for further research into the optimal dietary ratios of n-6 and n-3 PUFAs for immune health and disease prevention.

Published: October 2024

Age, disease and anti-tumor treatment may cause the decline or even loss of female fertility. Embryo cryopreservation, oocyte cryopreservation and ovarian tissue cryopreservation are commonly used at present. Cryopreservation and transplantation of ovarian tissue has become a fertility preservation method with medical indications in clinic, which is helpful for patients to successfully complete fertility through this technology. This paper reviews the international research progress on ovarian cryopreservation and transplantation in recent years. Despite the rapid development of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation technology, it still faces challenges such as how to reduce the loss of follicular reserve and thus prolong the effectiveness of ovarian tissue transplantation. More basic and clinical research is needed to promote the progress and development of ovarian tissue cryopreservation and transplantation technology.
Unusual presentation of incidental atypical carcinoid tumor masquerading as carcinoid tumorlets arising from diffuse neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH): A case report
Authors: Liu Sandy , Lynn Amy , Grunes Dianne , Drake Jamie , Rousou Laki
Published: October 2024

Introduction: Carcinoid tumorlets are usually incidental findings in lung excisions. These neuroendocrine proliferations should be less than 5 mm, and resemble typical carcinoid (TC) lacking necrosis and elevated mitotic activity. We report a case of atypical carcinoid (AC) presenting as multiple tumors all measuring less than 5 mm, mimicking carcinoid tumorlets.

Case Report: Our patient underwent a right upper lobectomy for multifocal invasive lepidic adenocarcinoma. Multiple nodules of neuroendocrine cells less than 5 mm in greatest dimension were noted within the lobectomy. Unlike carcinoid tumorlets, these nodules showed >2 mitotic figures per square millimeter and punctate necrosis. The ACs masqueraded as multiple microscopic tumor foci (greater5 mm) resembling “carcinoid tumorlets” in adjacent background lung tissue next to the adenocarcinoma. However, increased mitoses and punctate necrosis were diagnostic of AC. A background of diffuse idiopathic pulmonary neuroendocrine cell hyperplasia (DIPNECH) was noted, appeared to be a precursor lesion to AC, and demonstrated the DIPNECH’s preneoplastic potential to evolve directly into an AC.

Conclusion: The rare possibility of AC in “tumorlet”-appearing multiple micronodules should be considered in presence of elevated mitotic activity and necrosis in background of DIPNECH.

Authors: Mezrag Fares , Zemmit Abderrahim
Published: October 2024

The Internet of Things (IoT) is considered one of the emerging technologies that have attracted widespread attention from industry and academia as a result of their ability to use them in many applications, including military, healthcare, and industrial control. The inherent vulnerabilities in communications of IoT networks, which consist of resource-constrained devices, pose significant security challenges. To protect sensitive data exchanged within these networks, it is necessary to design and implement lightweight and efficient cryptographic schemes that consider resource-constrained IoT devices. This paper evaluates the performance of five well-known public-key schemes on three real-world IoT devices including IOTLAB-M3, Arduino-Zero, and Decawave DWM1001. The examined public-key schemes are categorized into two classes: integer factorization-based (RSA and Rabin schemes) and elliptic curve-based (ECIES, ECDH, and ECDSA schemes). By conducting comprehensive experiments, we compare these schemes in terms of computational time and energy consumption, providing valuable insights for selecting optimal public-key schemes in resource-constrained IoT environments.

Bullying merupakan tindakan yang menyakitkan seseorang bahkan sekelompok orang. Tindakan bullying tidak hanya dalam bentuk fisik namun bisa berupa verbal dan psikologi, sehingga korbannya merasa tertekan bahkan trauma. Masa remaja merupakan masa dimana mencari jati dirinya dan kadang masa ini sering disalah artikan karena pergaulan lingkungan yang mampu mempengaruhi tindakannya. Remaja yang menjadi korban dari perundungan temannya lebih beresiko mengalami berbagai masalah kesehatan bahkan sampai melakukan tindakan bunuh diri. Masalah kesehatan yang sering dialami korban bullying dapat berupa depresi berlebihan, masalah tidur, mudah gelisah, atau keluhan fisik seperti lebih sering sakit kepala, sakit perut dan otot tegang. Sedangkan pada lingkungan sekitarnya mereka akan lebih menarik diri dikarenakan muncul rasa tidak aman, yang mengakibatkan penurunan prestasi akademiknya.
