Mechanical Analysis Method of Cantilever Gearbox by Wang Jue, Song Shiyao, Zhang Rui

“…Based on the shearer cutting test,the local resonance analysis is carried out,and the frequency domain characteristics of the vibration signals of several typical cases are obtained,and compared with the natural characteristics of the box. The results show that high stress and large deformation are caused by low frequency impact（ quasi static load） and local resonance. …”

Wavelet Domain Multidictionary Learning for Single Image Super-Resolution by Xiaomin Wu, Jiulun Fan, Jian Xu, Yanzi Wang

“…Image super-resolution (SR) aims at recovering the high-frequency (HF) details of a high-resolution (HR) image according to the given low-resolution (LR) image and some priors about natural images. Learning the relationship of the LR image and its corresponding HF details to guide the reconstruction of the HR image is needed. …”

Inventory of the vascular flora of the alkaline fen “Torbiera di Lipoi” (Veneto, northern Italy) by Katia Zanatta, Cesare Lasen, Alberto Scariot, Juri Nascimbene

“…Results indicate that, despite natural reforestation triggered by the abandonment of the traditional management of the fen, most of the fen-related vascular species still occur, including red-listed species, although their populations have probably decreased over time. …”

Bridging the gap: community health workers as a vital link in humanitarian medical responses by Cora P. Nally, Patrick Van de Voorde, Marleen Temmerman, Marleen Temmerman, Adama Koroma, Monique Mitchell, Mary B. Adam

“…This research suggests that integrating CHWs with MMT's can bolster health outcomes, especially in communities affected by political instability, natural disasters, and resource limitations. The paper ends by providing policy implications and recommendations for further research on the use of CHWs during a range of emergency contexts.…”

Understanding why degrowth is absent from mitigation scenarios by Béatrice Cointe, Antonin Pottier

“…Ultimately, the absence of degrowth/no growth scenarios stems from the fact that, economic growth is largely conceived of and computed as a “natural” driver in IAM research, and not as an intervention point.…”

Mitochondrial DNA Damage and Animal Longevity: Insights from Comparative Studies by Reinald Pamplona

“…ROS can modify mtDNA directly at the sugar-phosphate backbone or at the bases, producing many different oxidatively modified purines and pyrimidines, as well as single and double strand breaks and DNA mutations. In this scenario, natural selection tends to decrease the mitochondrial ROS generation, the oxidative damage to mtDNA, and the mitochondrial mutation rate in long-lived species, in agreement with the mitochondrial oxidative stress theory of aging.…”

A multi-hop D2D and social awareness based novel relay selection algorithm by Liang LI, Xinjie YANG

“…The social domain was introduced to multi-hop D2D (device-to-device) communication in cellular network scenarios, and a novel relay selection algorithm for multi-hop D2D communication under cellular network was proposed.Unlike existing relay selection algorithms, the proposed algorithm selects relays for each hop in reverse order, which reduces the signaling overhead caused by algorithm implement.Then, social domain information of mobile terminals was introduced to the algorithm and its influence on the algorithm’s performance was studied, which was found significant enough not to be overlooked hence providing useful guidance to designing algorithms in practical systems.Moreover, via extensive Monte Carlo simulations, it is discovered that the proposed algorithm outperforms the benchmarks in terms of data throughput and energy efficiency in absence of social relationship information.In a more practical implementation with social relationship information included, the proposed algorithm though naturally achieving less throughput, significantly outperforms the benchmarks in energy efficiency.…”
