New Zealand’s Foreign Policy Balancing of China and the United States in the Indo-Pacific Region: Narratives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Annual Reports by Greg Simons, Marina A. Glaser (Kukartseva)

“…The foreign policy narrative has thus far employed ambiguity, favouring economic relations with China and political and military relations with the United States to maximise opportunities and spread risks. However, this window is gradually closing with the increased tensions between the U.S. and China, as tensions between the US and China rise, forcing lesser powers to ‘choose sides.’ …”

A Balanced Strategy for the FFBS Operator Integrating Dispatch Area, Route, and Depot Based on Multimodel Technologies by Qingfeng Zhou, Jun Zhou, Chun Janice Wong

“…We build a feasible framework to serve a balanced strategy for FFBS which can provide reasonable dispatch area, optimal dispatch depot location, dispatch truck’s route length, load action, and time window. Our proposed framework provides new ideas for regional traffic dispatching for the traffic management department and FFBS operator, which has certain practical reference significance.…”

Current and future perspectives on clinical management of classic 21-hydroxylase deficiency by Analia Yogi, Kenichi Kashimada

“…The dilemma of 21OHD treatment is that glucocorticoid supplementation therapy at physiological dosage does not sufficiently suppress ACTH, consequently leading to adrenal androgen excess. Accordingly, the window for the appropriate glucocorticoid treatment would have to be substantially narrower than that of other types of adrenal insufficiency without androgen excess, such as adrenal hypoplasia. …”

Ритуальний простір хатніх пологів: від профанного до сакрального by Олена Боряк

“…The main purpose of the study is to analytically generalize the mechanism of changing the spatial characteristics of the dwelling in extraordinary circumstances, and thus to understand how human thinking structures space. Certain objects (window, door, stove / chimney, floor) are singled out in the geometry of the space, and regulated actions of closing / opening, entering / leaving, and movement trajectory become relevant for its definition. …”

Biochemical Behaviours of Salmeterol/Fluticasone Propionate in Treating Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) by Hilla Mills, Ronald Acquah, Nova Tang, Luke Cheung, Susanne Klenk, Ronald Glassen, Magali Pirson, Alain Albert, Duong Trinh Hoang, Thang Nguyen Van

“…The drugs used for the treatment of asthma and COPD are metabolised once in the body system and at the same time exerting the therapeutic effect provided the concentration of the drug is within the therapeutic window. The CYP3A isoforms metabolise the ICS, in this case, salmeterol and fluticasone propionate (FP). …”

Inhibition of early EHDV2-Ibaraki infection steps in bovine cells by endosome alkalinization or ikarugamycin, but not by blockage of individual endocytic pathways by Maya Malka, Inbar Czaczkes, Shlomi Kashkash, Shirel Shachar, Eran Bacharach, Marcelo Ehrlich

“…Treatment of cells within the alkalinization-sensitive window (i.e., before endosomal processing) with inhibitors of actin polymerization, macropinocytosis (amiloride), or dynamin GTPase activity (dynasore or dynole), or with the cholesterol-depleting agent methyl-β-cyclodextrin, failed to reduce EHDV2-Ibaraki infection. …”

Automatic Detection of Cracks in Cracked Tooth Based on Binary Classification Convolutional Neural Networks by Juncheng Guo, Yuyan Wu, Lizhi Chen, Guanghua Ge, Yadong Tang, Wenlong Wang

“…Inspired by the achievements of applying deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in crack detection in engineering, this article proposes an image-based crack detection method using a deep CNN classifier in combination with a sliding window algorithm. A CNN model is designed by modifying the size of the input layer and adding a fully connected layer with 2 units based on the ResNet50, and then, the proposed CNN is trained and validated with a self-prepared cracked tooth dataset including 20,000 images. …”

Performance Study of Intermittent Heating Mode Combining Air-Source Heat Pump with Radiator in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Zones of China by Mingjing Fan, Haifeng Cheng, Mengting Nian, Shiqi Xie

“…The results show that the water supply temperature of 60°C at the startup stage can rapidly increase the indoor air temperature; in the stable stage, the water supply temperature is 40°C, the indoor air maintains a suitable temperature and relative humidity, and the indoor thermal environment is basically unaffected by the change in outdoor temperature and humidity; the inner surface temperature of the envelope (except the window) presents a similar trend to the indoor air temperature, which reduces the asymmetry of the thermal radiation field around the human body. …”
