Enhanced Dynamic Model of Pneumatic Muscle Actuator with Elman Neural Network by Alexander Hošovský, Ján Piteľ, Kamil Židek

“…Use of analytical model makes it possible to retain the physical interpretation of the model and the model is validated using open-loop responses. Since it was considered important to design a robust controller based on this model, the effect of changed moment of inertia (as a representation of uncertain parameter) was taken into account and compared with nominal case. …”

A multi-modal social media data analysis framework: Exploring the complex relationships among urban environment, public activity, and public perception—A case study of Xi’an, China... by Chuyi Guo, Yuchi Yang

“…Using Xi’an, China, as a typical case, it examines how public activities change over time and space, how they interact with urban spaces, as well as how different aspects of the built environment shape public perception.The main findings are as follows:(1) Public activity varies significantly across day and night, interacting in complex ways with urban spatial elements;(2) Public activity is driven by multiple interconnected factors;(3) The built environment affects public perception unevenly, with certain spatial elements evoking strong emotional resonance and reinforcing cultural identity;(4) A dynamic feedback loop exists between public activity and perception.This research offers novel insights into precision-oriented, human-centered, and sustainable urban development.…”

Uterine Intravenous Leiomyomatosis with Cardiac Extension: Radiologic Assessment with Surgical and Pathologic Correlation by Go Nakai, Kazuya Maeda, Kazuhiro Yamamoto, Takashi Yamada, Yoshinobu Hirose, Yoshito Terai, Masahide Ohmichi, Takahiro Katsumata, Yoshifumi Narumi

“…Radiologic-pathologic correlation showed that the intravascular cord-like mass originating from the IVC and extending to the right ventricle was composed of degenerated smooth muscle cells with a number of large vessels that were regarded as arteries; moreover, the arteries within the cord-like mass appeared to be looping internally. Given the disappearance of the right ovarian venous wall around the IVL pathologically, extracting the tumor from the ovarian vein during an operation is considered to be impossible retrospectively. …”
