A Cross-Modal Tactile Reproduction Utilizing Tactile and Visual Information Generated by Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks by Koki Hatori, Takashi Morikura, Akira Funahashi, Kenjiro Takemura

“…The results confirmed that the concurrent display of mechanical and visual information significantly reduced the mean absolute error between the displayed tactile information and that of the metal plate samples from 2.2 to 1.6 out of a 7-digit scale in sensory evaluation. These findings underscore the effectiveness of the visual information generation model and highlight the potential of integrating tactile and visual information for enhanced tactile reproduction systems.…”

Not uni-dimension! Exploring the multi-dimensional concept of positive body image in the Chinese context by Hanqin Yan

“…Confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the three dimensions of positive body image, and a measurement invariance test was used to figure out the measurement invariance of the three scales on the gender variable, lastly, latent profile analysis was used to explore the latent categories of positive body image among Chinese college students.Results(1) Three measures of positive body image were able to measure Chinese college students' overall positive body image well, and had good measurement invariance on the variable of gender; (2) Chinese college students' positive body image could be divided into three potential categories, namely, “low-level of positive body image” (32.2%), “general-level positive body image” (40.4%), and “high-level positive body image” (27.4%); (3) positive body talk can significantly and positively predict the overall positive body image of Chinese college students.ConclusionWe conclude that the three measures of positive body image are valid and versatile to Chinese college students and have high relevance with positive body talk, we also validate the multidimensional concept of positive body image in the Chinese context and hope to lead future Chinese researchers for better understanding the multi-dimensional concept of positive body image, and use the three measures to measure the holistic positive body image. …”

Fuzzy Random Characterization of Pore Structure in Frozen Sandstone: Applying Improved Niche Genetic Algorithm by Yao Ya-feng, Lin Jian, Ge Jian, Peng Shi-long, Yin Jian-chao, Ouyang Li-na

“…Finally, based on the T2 spectrum test of frozen sandstone, the fuzzy random characterization of frozen sandstone pore distribution is carried out by using this transformation method. The results illustrate that the conversion coefficient obtained through the improved algorithm indirectly considers the different surface relaxation rates of different pore sizes and effectively reduces the diffusion coupling effects, and the pore characteristics achieved are more applicable in engineering practices than previous methods.…”

Short-Term Response of Soil Organic Carbon Indices to Different Farming Strategies and Crop Rotation Systems in a Semiarid Warm Region by Aram Gorooei, Amir Aynehband, Dominik Behrend, Sabine J. Seidel, Amit Kumar Srivastava, Afrasyab Rahnama, Thomas Gaiser

“…Several indices can be used to assess the impact of short-term conservation agriculture strategies on improving soil organic carbon (SOC). To find out how the SOC pools and the carbon lability influence the carbon management index (CMI) in response to different agricultural practices in a warm semiarid region, the carbon lability index (LI) and the carbon pool index (CPI) were measured under the interactive effect of different fertilizer applications and crop residue management (hereafter referred to as “farming strategies”) in combination with four crop rotation systems in Ahvaz, Khuzestan, Iran, over four growing seasons from 2018 to 2020. …”
