Published: December 2023

In this article, we introduce some reliability concepts for the bivariate Pareto Type II distribution including joint hazard rate function, CDF for parallel and series systems, joint mean residual lifetime, and joint vitality function. The maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation methods are utilized to estimate the model parameters. Simulation is carried out to assess the performance of the maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimators, and it is found that the two approaches work quite well in estimation process. Finally, a real lifetime data is analyzed to show the flexibility and the importance of the introduced bivariate mode.
The odd log- logistic Power Inverse Lindley distribution: Model, Properties and Applications
Authors: Eltehiwy Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

In this article, we introduce a new three-parameter odd log-logistic power inverse Lindley distribution and discuss some of its properties. These include the shapes of the density and hazard rate functions, mixture representation, the moments, the quantile function, and order statistics. Maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters and their estimated asymptotic standard errors are derived. Three algorithms are proposed for generating random data from the proposed distribution. A simulation study is carried out to examine the bias and root mean square error of the maximum likelihood estimators of the parameters. An application of the model to three real data sets is presented finally and compared with the fit attained by some other well-known two and three-parameter distributions for illustrative purposes. It is observed that the proposed model has some advantages in analyzing lifetime data as compared to other popular models in the sense that it exhibits varying shapes and shows more flexibility than many currently available distributions.
A Modified Inexact SARAH Algorithm with Stabilized Barzilai-Borwein Step-Size in Machine learning
Authors: Wang Fusheng , Yang Yi-ming , Li Xiaotong , Petrosian Ovanes
Published: December 2023

The Inexact SARAH (iSARAH) algorithm as a variant of SARAH algorithm, which does not require computation of the exact gradient, can be applied to solving general expectation minimization problems rather than only finite sum problems. The performance of iSARAH algorithm is frequently affected by the step size selection, and how to choose an appropriate step size is still a worthwhile problem for study. In this paper, we propose to use the stabilized Barzilai-Borwein (SBB) method to automatically compute step size for iSARAH algorithm, which leads to a new algorithm called iSARAH-SBB. By introducing this adaptive step size in the design of the new algorithm, iSARAH-SBB can take better advantages of both iSARAH and SBB methods. We analyse the convergence rate and complexity of the modified algorithm under the usual assumptions. Numerical experimental results on standard data sets demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

Enkele aspecten van taal, identiteit en stereotypering
Authors: Van Sterkenburg Piet
Published: December 2023

Everybody belongs to different groups. These groups have common knowledge that is acquired by language that determines the identity of the group. However, this language varies depending on the social background of the members of the group and it has a social meaning. If a language form stands out and can be considered characteristic of a group, this leads to stereotyping. Another form of stereotyping, also called ‘framing’, is not based on language characteristics of a group but is the result of mostly (negative) judgements of opinion makers (e.g. about Muslims). Stereotyping is also described on the basis of the self-image of a group (the Dutch people) and on the basis of the image that foreigners have about this group (including Queen Maxima). Finally, the question is answered whether THE identity exists.
“Na dokładkę nog even dit.” Overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen de classificaties van partikels in de Poolse en in de Nederlandse traditie van partikelstudie
Authors: Tomaka Kamila
Published: December 2023

The aim of this paper is to present the characterisation of the category of Dutch and Polish particles and to compare the taxonomy of particles in Dutch and Polish linguistics. This article also provides an overview of approaches to particles taken in both linguistics areas with the aim of identifying their convergent points and suggesting a framework for a contrastive analysis. It appears that the specific relation between distinguished subcategories of particles in Dutch and Polish and the commensurability between the counterparts of individual particles in these two languages remain to be discerned but the findings made so far for both languages are significant and comparable enough to establish a basis for further contrastive research.

Authors: Liang Wei-hao , Koshima Isao , Hung Chao-Ming , Chang Richard Chih-Hau
Published: December 2023

Aim: Lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) is the mainstay for treating breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Preoperative ultrasonography is useful to assess the locations and characteristics of lymphatics and veins to improve LVA success remarkably even in cases of advanced BCRL. Aim: The aim of the study was to describe the use of ultrasonography to reliably map suitable lymphatics and veins and successfully perform LVA surgery in cases of advanced BCRL.

Method: This retrospective cohort study included 41 cases of BCRL who underwent LVA surgery using preoperative ultrasound to map and characterize lymphatics and veins. Cases were analyzed for the following: (1) whether preoperative ultrasonographic detection of both lymphatics and veins correlate to actual intraoperative findings and (2) improvement in mean limb circumference measurements at 1 and 3 months of follow-up in this patient cohort.

Results: For 155 LVA incisions, 212 LVA procedures were performed. Among them, 133 (62.7%) lymphatics and 196 (92.4%) anti-reflux veins were successfully detected and characterized on preoperative sonography. Mean preoperative circumference at the wrist, 10cm below elbow, elbow, and 10cm above elbow were 18.86 cm, 27.79 cm, 29.75 cm, and 33.77 cm, respectively. The mean measurements improved at 1 month correspondingly to 17.14 cm, 24.86 cm, 26.91 cm, and 30.50 cm (9.12%, 10.54%, 9.54%, 9.70% improvement, respectively), and at 3 months to 16.59 cm, 24.28 cm, 26.55 cm, and 30.05 cm (12.02%, 12.63%, 10.73%, 11.02% improvement, respectively). For each individual patient, their four measured circumferences were also added to obtain the Total Circumference (TC). The TC ranged from 89-135 cm (mean 109.46 cm) preoperatively, 83.5-129.5 cm (mean 98.74 cm) 1-month post-op, and 80.5-128 cm (mean 96.55 cm) 3 months post-op. Compared to the preoperative value, each patient had a TC decrease of 2.79%-20.35% (mean 9.80%) at 1-month post-op and 4.39-28.30% (mean 11.80%) at 3 months post-op. These differences were all statistically significant (P < 0.0001).

Conclusion: Preoperative ultrasonography is a useful adjunct to detect lymphatic vessels and anti-reflux veins, thereby increasing the chances of successfully performing LVA surgery even in cases of advanced upper limb lymphedema. It can contribute to long-lasting outcomes.
Clinical frontiers of metabolic bone disorders: a comprehensive review
Authors: Ansari Mohd. Danish , Majid Haya , Khan Anas , Sultana Yasmin
Published: December 2023

Metabolic bone disease (MBD)encompasses various conditions that adversely impact bone health, such as osteoporosis, primary hyperparathyroidism, osteomalacia, and fluorosis disease. Effectively managing these disorders requires early detection and a focus on maintaining healthy nutritional habits. Dietary adjustments serve as a cornerstone, but supplementation of essential minerals like calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D is often necessary to support bone reabsorption and regeneration, and reduce fracture risk. Despite the effectiveness of these measures in many cases, hereditary bone diseases pose distinctive challenges due to genetic factors. Emerging technologies that provide higher-resolution insights into bone architecture and quality are now complementing traditional diagnostic tools like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Moreover, the therapeutic landscape has transformed with the introduction of newer agents that not only halt bone loss but also stimulate bone formation. These agents promise better outcomes with reduced side effects, catering to a wider patient population. However, the management of MBDs remains multifaceted, necessitating individualized approaches based on the patient’s clinical profile. As the global prevalence of MBDs, especially osteoporosis, continues to soar, it becomes imperative for clinicians to stay abreast with the evolving paradigms. This review serves as a bridge between historical knowledge and recent discoveries, offering a holistic perspective on the challenges and opportunities in the domain of MBDs.

La economía puede incrementar el bienestar social haciendo progresar el capital físico, el capital humano y la tecnología. Es sobre este último factor, clave en relación con los otros dos, sobre el que versa este estudio. En los centros de investigación españoles, particularmente los universitarios, se produce un alto número de resultados de notable calidad, lo que no se traslada, en proporción semejante, al campo de las innovaciones y de la aplicabilidad industrial. Desde un análisis de los datos, intentamos ilustrar esa brecha que existe entre investigación e innovación comercializable en el país que ocupa el cuarto puesto en la UE, tanto por el volumen de su PIB como por el número de sus ciudadanos.

Riesgo, esperanza y responsabilidad: una aproximación al tiempo por venir
Authors: Serrano Padilla Gustavo
Published: December 2023

La sociedad del riesgo, de Beck, proveyó herramientas que alertaban sobre el “panorama desolador” que se avecinaba. Hoy, ese futuro pronosticado por Beck es nuestro propio presente. Sin embargo, lejos de que éste clausure las nociones de futuro en aras de alguna melancolía desesperanzadora, vuelve a poner sobre la mesa la disputa por el tiempo futuro. El propósito de este artículo es analizar algunos elementos conceptuales que permitan resituar las coordenadas del futuro dentro de la investigación social. Propondré un itinerario que parte de El principio responsabilidad de Jonas, en discusión con la de Bloch (El principio esperanza). En un segundo momento y con la triada esperanza-riesgo-responsabilidad se plantea el problema del tiempo por venir desde una óptica que ya no asume “el riesgo que viene”, sino el riesgo que configura y posibilita diversos modos de existencia social y frente al cual la tarea de repensar las disputas políticas sociales y culturales sobre el mismo aparece como labor urgente.

Published: December 2023

Annotation. The experience of using coal flotation waste (CFW) as a weakly exothermic insulating backfill for insulating the head part of forging dead-melted steel ingots is presented.It has been shown that when using weakly exothermic fills based on single-component fills in the form of CFW, it is possible to reduce the chemical heterogeneity of the ingot by producing a closed shrinkage cavity, which allows halving heat loss and depth of penetration of shrinkage looseness into the body of the ingot, reducing the segregation of impurities, compacting the head part of the ingot and increasing the yield; moreover, the profitable part of the ingot is more dense and less contaminated with nonmetallic inclusions.The studied patterns of the formation of a closed shrinkage cavity with a dense “bridge” in the head part of a dead-melted steel ingot made it possible to develop and implement a technology for casting large forging ingots of sufficiently high quality using weakly exothermic heat-insulating materials based on metallurgical waste (coke screenings, coal flotation waste)

Authors: Parraga Shirley P , Bandaru Revanth Reddy
Published: December 2023

Kaposi sarcoma is the most common neoplasm associated with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Most patients with a confirmed diagnosis experienced limited disease progression. We describe the case of a 49-year-old African American male with a rare presentation of disseminated Kaposi sarcoma as determined by multi-organ work-up. The patient’s cutaneous manifestations involved several hyperpigmented skin lesions, but the worsening of his respiratory symptoms coupled with unexplained weight loss led providers to develop a high suspicion for disseminated disease progression. This case highlights the need to increase awareness of atypical Kaposi sarcoma presentation.
Directional Emphasis Filtering in Artifact Metrics for Rejecting Raster-Scanning-Created Clones
Authors: Iwahashi Akira , Yoshida Naoki , Matsumoto Tsutomu
Published: December 2023

Artifact metrics is a technology for authenticating artifacts based on their unique characteristics. The artifact-metric system offers "clone resistance," i.e., it makes it highly improbable to create another object exhibiting the same measured values as a genuine artifact. However, determined adversaries may still attempt to create imitations or clones with close physical characteristics to those of registered products, even if they cannot perfectly replicate the genuine product. Such clones serve to deceive users into believing they are genuine rather than counterfeits. Thus, in this study, we consider a scenario in which we measure raster-scanning-generated clones via a non-raster scanning method. Further, we employ image processing techniques to generate image data representing the clones and theoretically assess the filtering effects on these images. Our findings reveal that applying filters to specific frequency components in the spatial frequency domain can effectively highlight differences between raster-scanning-created clones and the corresponding genuine artifacts. Thus, we demonstrate directional emphasis filtering in artifact metrics as an effective approach for rejecting raster-scanning-created clones.
Understanding Antral Contraction in Human Stomach through Comparison with Soft Elastic Reactor Using a Chemical Engineering Approach
Authors: Delaplace Guillaume , Jeantet Romain , Lee Jeehyun , Liu Minghui , Xiao Jie , Dupong Didier , Chen Xiao Dong
Published: December 2023

Gastric mixing relies both on enzymatic reactions and mechanical solicitations through antral contraction waves (ACWs). This work aims at discussing the influence of ACWs frequency and digesta viscosity on human gastric mixing efficiency by comparison with that of a soft elastic reactor (SER), that induces mixing by vibration of its wall in a similar way as ACWs promote stomach motility. The SER mixing curve was considered in order to determine the flow regime reached during gastric mixing. The number of contractions required to achieve homogenization was found to depend on the viscosity of the stomach content and the ACWs amplitude. Moreover, it was deduced from the same range of SER and ACWs operating points that the mechanical solicitation provided by human peristalsis was low and that gastric mixing was confined in laminar regime. Further efforts are needed to investigate the role of other physiological processes such as gastric secretions and emptying in overall gastric mixing performance.
Economic Value of Peatland Ecosystem Services and People-Peatland Landscape Interplay: A Case Study from Sumatra, Indonesia
Authors: Yunus Mohammad , Pagdee Adcharaporn , Baral Himlal
Published: December 2023

Through a variety of unique ecosystem services, peatlands provide critical support to society and play a significant part in the global environmental system. Unfortunately, anthropogenic activities pose a hazard to these peatlands. This study estimated a total economic value (TEV) of peatland ecosystem services and examined relationships between the TEV and landscape characteristics in Riau province, Indonesia. A comprehensive economic valuation questionnaire, covering household socioeconomic conditions, ecological information and landscape characteristics, perception of peatland importance, peatland product collection data, and villagers' willingness to pay (WTP) for habitat and biodiversity protection, was administered to 200 household representatives (92% confidence) from five villages distributing across distinct landscapes. The survey took place from May to June 2023. The respondents derived numerous advantages from the peatlands, culminating in an average TEV of USD 3,174.31 per household per year. This value predominantly reflects a use value, accounting for 80.85% of the TEV. Notably, the use value emanates primarily from the provisioning of food through fishing, soil fertility, wild plants, and animals. However, to a lesser extent, there exists a marginal presence of a non-use value, encompassing the habitats provided to endemic or endangered species, the preservation of biodiversity for future generations, and the sanctity associated with forests deemed sacred. The observed variance in landscape characteristics appears to wield an influence on amounts of benefits derived from the peatlands. This phenomenon can be attributed to prevailing land use conditions and geographical distances.
Optimum Cable Bonding With Pareto Optimal and Hybrid Neural Method to Prevent High Voltage Cable Insulation Faults in the Wind Energy Systems
Authors: AKBAL Bahadır
Published: December 2023

Photovoltaic systems and wind energy systems are generally used in distributed system. However, zero-sequence and harmonic currents occur due to photovoltaic systems, and positive-sequence harmonic currents occur due to wind turbines. Thus, the sheath current in high voltage cables increases due to these currents and poor power quality in distributed generation plants. Metal parts of the cable are grounded to prevent the negative effects of sheath currents. When long high voltage cable lines are grounded with the method in the literature, high sheath current and voltage occur on the cable sheath. Therefore, the SSBLR method is designed as a new method for the distributed generation system. The SSBLR method has been optimized with prediction methods and multi-objective optimization methods to prevent negative effects of the sheath current. Pareto optimal method is used as multi-objective optimization method, and artificial neural network, hybrid artificial neural network and regression methods are used as prediction method. The most dominant result is searched using different estimation and optimization methods in pareto optimal method. When the artificial neural network-genetic algorithm hybrid method is used as a prediction method, and genetic algorithm used as optimization method, significant decreases are observed in sheath current and voltage.

Effect of bone loss on pullout behavior of shape memory alloy dental implant: finite element analysis and experimental study
Authors: Naser Mohammad Manafi , Ghaderi Amir Abdollah , Yasrebi Behzad , Haghipour Siamak
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of bone loss around implant screws on the resistance of the screw connection to bone. This problem will be solved using the nonlinear finite element method in ABAQUS software. Loss of bone is caused by the formation of empty spherical cavities within the bone, which are randomly distributed throughout. Under the UMAT subroutine, the constitutive equations of shape memory alloy (SMA) materials will be introduced to the software. These equations will be employed to account for the superelastic behavior of the implant screws. An experimental study will be conducted in order to validate this finite element model. Direct tension tests are used in order to determine the experimental force-displacement curve of the implant pull-out. Finite element models will be evaluated by comparing experimental force-displacement curves with those generated by finite element models. Furthermore, the performance of titanium and shape memory implants is examined. Compared to a titanium implant, a shape memory implant causes an increase of approximately 130% in the displacement of the implant separation, which is a significant difference. Moreover, an additional 1% of cavities in the bone results in a 7% reduction in the pullout force and the adhesion between the implant and the bone. Additionally, a 200% increase in porosity results in a 20% decrease in cohesion force as a result of reduced bone density and crack points.
Feasibility and efficacy of pre-sleep dim light therapy for adults with insomnia: A pilot randomized, open-label, two-arm study
Authors: Yoon Jihyun , Heo Seok-Jae , Lee Hyangkyu , Sul Eun Gyeong , Han Taehwa , Kwon Yu-Jin
Published: December 2023

This study assesses the effectiveness of pre-sleep dim light therapy (LT) as a non-pharmacological intervention for insomnia in adults, focusing on its impact on sleep quality and circadian rhythms. Conducted over two weeks, the randomized trial involved 40 adults with sleep disorders. Participants were divided into a control group and an LT group, the latter receiving warm-colored light exposure before bedtime. The methodology combined subjective sleep questionnaires, objective sleep assessments through actigraphy, and molecular analyses of circadian clock gene expression in blood cells. Key results indicated significant improvements in the LT group’s sleep quality and efficiency, and a 30-minute advancement in Dim Light Melatonin Onset compared to the control group. Molecular analysis revealed a notable reduction in CRY1 gene expression, implicating LT’s influence on circadian sleep regulation. While the study’s small sample size and short duration limit its scope, the findings suggest LT’s potential as an effective, non-drug approach for insomnia treatment. The study advocates for expanded research with larger, more diverse cohorts over longer periods to further validate LT’s efficacy in sleep medicine.

Authors: Sacotte Kaitlyn , Torr Carrie
Published: December 2023

Objective
The objective of this study is to determine the incidence of documented ACEs for infants admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and assess for an association between neonatal ACEs and adverse outcomes.
Study Design:
A retrospective chart review was performed on all infants admitted to a Level III NICU for 6 months. Neonatal and maternal charts were reviewed for five ACEs: intimate partner violence, parental mental illness, incarceration, separation, and substance use.
Result
Data was collected for 203 infants. One or more ACEs were documented in 118 (58%) of infants and 3 or more ACEs in 12 (6%) of infants. Paternal mental illness was documented in only 1% (2) of infants.
Conclusion
The true incidence of neonatal ACEs remains unknown as most paternal data is not documented in the infant’s chart. There is an increased need to screen and document ACEs in infants admitted to the NICU to better understand the impact in this at risk population.
D-Pinitol extends antioxidant activity and longevity of Caenorhabditis elegans via insulin-like signaling pathway
Authors: Shi Lin , Liu Jin-Feng , Yu Xin-Tian , Leng Yan-En , Hou Yi , Quan Tian , Zeng Yue
Published: December 2023

D-Pinitol is a cyclic polyol mainly derived from pinaceae and legume. It has the functions of regulating blood glucose balance, anti-inflammation and cardiovascular protection. D-Pinitol is a 3-methoxy analogue of D-chiral-inositol. In our previous study, we found that D-chiral-inositol could prolong the lifespan of Caenorcaditis elegans. D-Pinitol and D-chiral-inositol are commonly used in the treatment of diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome. We therefore proceeded to investigate the anti-aging effect of D-Pinitol in Caenorhabditis elegans. Our findings demonstrate that D-Pinitol significantly extends the lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans by 25.41%, enhances body bend frequency, and reduces lipofuscin accumulation. Moreover, it effectively delays neurodegenerative disease development in this model organism. Mechanistically, D-Pinitol promotes gene expression related to insulin-like signaling pathway in Caenorhabditis elegans while also reducing malondialdehyde levels and increasing total antioxidant capacity as well as superoxide dismutase and catalase activities. Consequently, our results indicate that through activation of the insulin-like signaling pathway, D-Pinitol improves both antioxidant capacity and lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans—a testament to its remarkable antioxidative properties—thus highlighting the significance for further research on this compound.

Methods
This research utilized two CAS-related datasets (GSE40888 and GSE40732) and extracted 40 MRGs from the MitoCarta3.0 Database. Initially, differential expression analysis was performed on CAS and control samples in the GSE40888 dataset to obtain the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Differentially expressed MRGs (DE-MRGs) were obtained by overlapping the DEGs and MRGs. Protein protein interactions (PPI) network of DE-MRGs was created and the top 10 genes in the degree ranking of Maximal Clique Centrality (MCC) algorithm were defined as feature genes. Hub genes were obtained from the intersection genes from the Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) algorithms. Additionally, the expression validation was conducted, functional enrichment analysis, immune infiltration analysis were finished, and transcription factors (TFs)-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network was constructed.
Results
A total of 1505 DEGs were obtained from the GSE40888, and 44 DE-MRGs were obtained. A PPI network based on these 44 DE-MRGs was created and revealed strong interactions between ADCK5 and MFN1, BNIP3 and NBR1. Four hub genes (NDUFAF7, MTIF3, MRPS26, and NDUFAF1) were obtained by taking the intersection of genes from the LASSO and XGBoost algorithms based on 10 signature genes which obtained from PPI. In addition, hub genes-based alignment diagram showed good diagnostic performance. The results of Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) suggested that hub genes were closely related to mismatch repair. The B cells naive cells were significantly expressed between CAS and control groups, and MTIF3 was most strongly negatively correlated with B cells naive. In addition, the expression of MTIF3 and MRPS26 may have influenced the inflammatory response in CAS patients by affecting mitochondria-related functions. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‒PCR) results showed that four hub genes were all down-regulated in the CAS samples.
Conclusion
NDUFAF7, MTIF3, MRPS26, and NDUFAF1 were identified as an MRGs-related biomarkers in CAS, which provides some reference for further research on CAS.

In emerging digital world, the high-performance arithmetic computing module with low power and reduced area are required to compute the Signal processing application operations. In that signal processing applications, the multipliers are essential component of arithmetic functional units in many applications, like digital signal processors, image/video processing, Machine Learning, Cryptography and arithmetic & logical units (ALU). In recent years, Profuse multipliers are there. In that, Vedic multiplier is one of the high-performance multiplication and it used to signal/image processing applications. In order to ameliorate the performance of this multiplier further, by proposed a novel multiplier using hybrid compressor for application of Cryptography and signal processing system. The proposed hybrid compressor-based multiplier is designed and implemented in FPGA (spartan 6).

Published: December 2023

The cyclic cavity expansion model (CVGM model) is programmed into the VUSDFLD subroutine of ABAQUS software using the Frotran language to simulate the N-type circular steel tubular joints. Compared with the experimental results, it is found that the finite element simulation is in good agreement with the experimental results, which verifies the feasibility of using the CVGM model to predict the plane circular steel tubular joints. 14 X-type circular steel tubular joints and stiffener-reinforced X-type circular steel tubular joints were designed, The CVGM model was used to predict the fracture of these 14 joints, and the hysteretic behavior of the joints was studied. The results show that when the node is cracked, it is not destroyed immediately, and the node bearing capacity can continue to improve, at which time the hysteretic performance of the node is controlled by the degree of crack extension; The stiffening ribs can improve the ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of X-type round steel pipe coherent nodes so that the rate of node stiffness degradation is reduced and the seismic performance of the nodes is improved. An increase in the diameter-to-thickness ratio γ of the nodal main tube increases the ultimate load-carrying capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the coherent nodes of the stiffened rib-reinforced X-type circular steel tube but has a smaller effect on the rate of stiffness degradation; Node branch pipe and main pipe outer diameter ratio β increases, stiffening rib reinforced X-type round steel pipe coherent node of the ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness will increase, but the node ductility and energy dissipation capacity will be reduced, stiffness degradation of the speed of acceleration; Stiffening rib length L increases, the ultimate load carrying capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the coherent node of X-type round steel pipe reinforced by stiffening ribs will be increased, and the rate of node stiffness degradation will be less affected; The thickness of the stiffening rib tp increase, the ultimate bearing capacity, stiffness, ductility, and energy dissipation capacity of the coherent node of the stiffening rib reinforced X-type round steel pipe will increase, and the effect on the node stiffness degradation rate is small.

Image semantic segmentation t is widely used in aquatic product measurement, aquatic biological cell segmentation, and aquatic biological classifications. However, underwater image segmentation has low accuracy and poor robustness because of turbid underwater environments and insufficient light. Therefore, this paper proposes an Underwater Image Semantic Segmentation Network (UISS-Net) for underwater scenes. Firstly, the backbone network uses an auxiliary feature extraction network to improve the extraction of semantic features for the backbone network. Secondly, the channel attention mechanism enhances the vital attention information during feature fusion. Then, multi-stage feature input up-sampling is used to recover better semantic features in the network during up-sampling. Finally, the cross-entropy loss function and dice loss function are used to focus on the boundary semantic information of the target. The experimental results show that the network effectively improves the boundary of the target object after segmentation, avoids aliasing with other classes of pixels, improves the segmentation accuracy of the target boundary, and retains more feature information. The mIoU and mPA of UISS-Net in the semantic Segmentation of Underwater IMagery (SUIM) dataset achieve 72.09% and 80.37%, respectively, 9.68% and 7.63% higher than the baseline model. In the Deep Fish dataset, UISS-Net achieved 95.05% mIoU, 12.3% higher than the baseline model.

Objective: To explore Multiple myeloma (MM) through multiple bioinformatics analysis
The potential mechanism of comorbidity with Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH).
Method:According to the inclusion criteria, download the MM and ONFH high-throughput chip datasets from the GEO database and preprocess them separately. Using weighted gene co expression network analysis (WGCNA) to construct co expression networks on MM self datasets, further screening modules and genes related to MM clinical characteristics, enriching and analyzing potential co disease genes of NAFLD and IS, and preliminarily screening key genes for MM and ONFH co disease through Cytoscape. Validate the ability of gene expression and performance evaluation through two disease related datasets. And evaluate the relationship between the difference and consistency of the two in the immune microenvironment.
Results: Through screening 418 co pathogenic genes with immunity, we found that the biological process of the two kinds of diseases in the ribosome synthesis process was consistent, especially the protein synthesis. Further screening key genes through PPI, and analyzing the dataset of the validation queue, the average area (ROC) of the 5 genes under the operating characteristics of the subjects was between 0.8 and above. Comparing the analysis of the two groups of data in the immune microenvironment, it is found that the infiltration of plasma cell is consistent with the comorbidity of diseases, and it can be used as the relevant immune target for subsequent targeting.
Conclusion: MM and ONFH share common pathogenic genes, which in turn mediate differential changes in related signaling channels and immune cells, affecting the high incidence of OA and MDS and the phenomenon of these two diseases. In terms of biological mechanism, MM and ONFH co disease may be mainly associated with RPS19, RPL35, RPL24, RPL36, EIF3G as key genes, as well as plasma cell as key immune infiltration, which can serve as the central mechanism for the development of the two diseases. This study provides ideas and references for further research.
