Instability Model of a Coal Wall with Large Mining Height under Excavation Unloading Conditions by Lei Li, Feng zhang

“…Results show that the coal mining process is the unloading process of coal and rock masses, and the stress field of surrounding rocks at the coal wall turns into an unloading stress field that consists of original and unloading stresses. Under the action of unloading stress field, cracks in the coal wall will undergo instability, propagation, and combination in the form of composite-type cracks and will gradually evolve into a wedge structure. …”

Real-time diagnosis of multi-category skin diseases based on IR-VGG by Ling TAN, Shanshan RONG, Jingming XIA, Sarker SAJIB, Wenjie MA

“…Malignant skin lesions have a very high cure rate in the early stage.In recent years, dermatological diagnosis research based on deep learning has been continuously promoted, with high diagnostic accuracy.However, computational resource consumption is huge and it relies on large computing equipment in hospitals.In order to realize rapid and accurate diagnosis of skin diseases on Internet of things (IoT) mobile devices, a real-time diagnosis system of multiple categories of skin diseases based on inverted residual visual geometry group (IR-VGG) was proposed.The contour detection algorithm was used to segment the lesion area of skin image.The convolutional block of the first layer of VGG16 was replaced with reverse residual block to reduce the network parameter weight and memory overhead.The original image and the segmented lesion image was inputed into IR-VGG network, and the dermatological diagnosis results after global and local feature extraction were outputed.The experimental results show that the IR-VGG network structure can achieve 94.71% and 85.28% accuracy in Skindata-1 and Skindata-2 skin diseases data sets respectively, and can effectively reduce complexity, making it easier for the diagnostic system to make real-time skin diseases diagnosis on IoT mobile devices.…”

Sur le problème de la méthode dans les cultural studies et ce que nous apprend leur différend fondateur by Thierry Labica

“…Trying to deal with the problems of method and teachability which practitioners of cultural studies have repeatedly raised since the institutional consolidation of the field from the late eighties onward, two types of responses appear to have recurred: discarding the question altogether, or, harking back to CS’ original moment and founding theoretical figures, the chosen option generally implying either a departure from- or alternatively, the reactivation of- a reference to Marxism. …”
