Learning Dendritic-Neuron-Based Motion Detection for RGB Images: A Biomimetic Approach by Tianqi Chen, Yuki Todo, Zhiyu Qiu, Yuxiao Hua, Delai Qiu, Xugang Wang, Zheng Tang

“…Our approach begins by mimicking the photoreceptor cone cells to simulate the initial input processing followed by a learnable dendritic neuron model to replicate ganglion cells that integrate outputs from bipolar and horizontal cell simulations. To handle multi-channel integration, we utilize a nonlearnable dendritic neuron model to simulate the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), which consolidates outputs across color channels, an essential function in biological multi-channel processing. …”

Mt. Etna Tilt Signals Associated with February 6, 2023, M=7.8 and M=7.5 Turkey Earthquakes by Laura Privitera, Ferruccio Ferrari, Angelo Ferro, Salvatore Gambino

“…We compared tilt and seismic data for a co–located station evidencing a very similar waveform that highlight how tiltmeters respond to translational acceleration rather than ground tilt during a teleseism, suggesting that, for waves with this period, they may behave as horizontal seismometers. By using these signals, we evidence the different behaviors of two of the most used models of tiltmeters on volcanoes (Lily and Pinnacle) and how they are useful for instrument calibration.…”

A numerical study on the wave loading on offshore structures of different cross-sectional geometries under the action of regular waves by Guilherme Fuhrmeister Vargas, Bruno Alvarez Scapin

“…The results demonstrated that the shape of the cross-section plays an important role in the efforts experienced by the structure, and this influence is directly related to a characteristic length, whose intensification causes an increase in the magnitude of the experienced horizontal force. Likewise, by defining important dimensionless parameters, it was possible to obtain approximate expressions to determine the maximum wave force on the structures. …”
