Quantification of Dynamic Excitation Potential of Pedestrian Population Crossing Footbridges by Stana Žcaronivanović, Aleksandar Pavić

“…Many current vibration serviceability design guidelines, concerned with prediction of the vibration in the vertical direction, estimate a single response level that corresponds to an "average" person crossing the bridge with the step frequency that matches a footbridge natural frequency. However, different pedestrians have different dynamic excitation potential, and therefore could generate significantly different vibration response of the bridge structure. …”

A scalable multi-modal learning fruit detection algorithm for dynamic environments by Liang Mao, Liang Mao, Zihao Guo, Mingzhe Liu, Yue Li, Linlin Wang, Jie Li

“…IntroductionTo enhance the detection of litchi fruits in natural scenes, address challenges such as dense occlusion and small target identification, this paper proposes a novel multimodal target detection method, denoted as YOLOv5-Litchi.MethodsInitially, the Neck layer network of YOLOv5s is simplified by changing its FPN+PAN structure to an FPN structure and increasing the number of detection heads from 3 to 5. …”

LITHUANIAN EMIGRANTS’ SATISFACTION WITH THEIR HOLIDAY IN HOMELAND by Viktorija Grigaliūnaitė, Lina Pilelienė

“…Emigrant loyalty to spending holiday in their homeland Lithuania can be encouraged directly through satisfaction, or by enhancing accommodation and catering and activities in destination. The factors ‘natural features of the destination’; ‘destination aesthetics’; and ‘destination marketing’ were found to be non-significant; they did not affect Lithuanian emigrants’ satisfaction or loyalty to a destination. …”

NK-92 cells activated by IL-2 inhibit the progression of endometriosis in vitro by Jun Yao, Li-jiao Zhang, Zhe Zhou, Mao-fang Hua

“…Background Interleukin (IL)-2 is a key cytokine capable of modulating the immune response by activating natural killer (NK) cells. This study was recruited to explore the therapeutic potential of IL-2-activated NK-92 cells in endometriosis in vitro.Methods Ectopic endometrial stromal cells (EESCs) were isolated and co-cultured with IL-2-activated NK-92 cells at varying effector-to-target (E:T) ratios (1:0 [Control], 1:1, 1:3, and 1:9). …”
