Real-Time Pose Prediction and Dynamic Anchor Selection for Ultra-Wideband Tagless Gate by Junyoung Choi, Joohyun Lee, Sagnik Bhattacharya

“…Therefore, the knowledge about exact location and the pose of MD is the main challenge of UTG, and hence we provide the solutions for both DL-TDoA and DS-TWR. In this paper, we propose dynamic anchor selection for extremely accurate DL-TDoA localization and pose prediction for DS-TWR, called DynaPose. …”

Forecasting GIC Activity Associated With Solar Wind Shocks for the Australian Region Power Network by R. A. Marshall, E. A. Pearce, C. L. Waters, M. Terkildsen

“…Solar wind shocks create rapid changes in the magnetopause current that manifest as large step changes in the geomagnetic field at the Earth's surface, often referred to as geomagnetic sudden impulses (SIs), that are effective drivers of GIC activity in power networks at low‐middle latitudes. This paper describes the results of a study into the relationship between the driver of SIs, solar wind shocks, and their potential impact on power systems in the Australian region, as quantified by a GIC‐index. …”

Vibration Behavior and Reinforcement Effect Analysis of the Slab Track-Subgrade with Mud Pumping under Cyclic Dynamic Loading: Full-Scale Model Tests by Junjie Huang, Qian Su, Wei Wang, Xun Wang, Huiqin Guo

“…Mud pumping occurring in the subgrade bed can gradually deteriorate the performance of the slab track-subgrade, negatively affecting the comfort and safety of high-speed railway. In this paper, a full-scale model of the slab track-subgrade was established to analyze the vibration behavior of the model in normal condition and before and after mud pumping reinforced, as well as the reinforcement effect of mud pumping using low-viscosity epoxy resin. …”

A New Double Truncated Generalized Gamma Model with Some Applications by Awad A. Bakery, Wael Zakaria, OM Kalthum S. K. Mohamed

“…A new five-parameter bounded generalized Gamma model, the bounded Weibull model with four parameters, the bounded Gamma model with four parameters, the bounded generalized Gaussian model with three parameters, the bounded exponential model with three parameters, and the bounded Rayleigh model with two parameters, is presented in this paper as a special case. This approach to the problem, which utilizes a bounded support area, allows for a great deal of versatility in fitting various shapes of observed data. …”

Efficient Multi-Task Training with Adaptive Feature Alignment for Universal Image Segmentation by Yipeng Qu, Joohee Kim

“…Nevertheless, prevailing modality-alignment methods rely on large-scale uni-modal encoders for both modalities and an extremely large amount of paired data for training, and therefore it is hard to apply these existing models to lightweight segmentation models and resource-constrained devices. In this paper, we propose Adaptive Feature Alignment (AFA) integrated with a learnable task token to address these issues. …”

Humanitarian aid under sanctions: From the problem statement to the search for solutions by L. D. Oganisyan L.D.

“…And although formally sanctions regimes are provided with humanitarian exceptions designed to minimize their negative consequences for the population of target countries, their imposition inevitably results in new obstacles to the provision of humanitarian assistance to those in need. The paper identifies the key challenges associated with provision of humanitarian aid under the existing sanctions restrictions, and assesses the prospects for addressing them in the contemporary context. …”

Rosiglitazone and Pioglitazone Alter Aromatase Kinetic Properties in Human Granulosa Cells by Takako Araki, Miroslava Varadinova, Michael Goldman, Zev Rosenwaks, Leonid Poretsky, Donna Seto-Young

“…We have previously reported that, in human granulosa cells, thiazolidinediones rosiglitazone and pioglitazone inhibit estrogen synthesis by interfering with androgen binding to aromatase, without an effect on aromatase mRNA or protein expression. In the current paper, we explore the effects of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone on the aromatase enzyme kinetic properties in human granulosa cells. …”

Feedback regulation in multistage cell lineages by Wing-Cheong Lo, Ching-Shan Chou, Kimberly K. Gokoffski, Frederic Y.-M. Wan, Arthur D. Lander, Anne L. Calof, Qing Nie

“…Together, the existence of multiple cellstages within a lineage and complex feedback regulation are thought to conferupon a tissue the ability to autoregulate development and regeneration,in terms of both cell number (total tissue volume) and cell identity(the proportions of different cell types, especially TD cells, within the tissue).In this paper, we model neurogenesis in the olfactory epithelium (OE) of the mouse,a system in which the lineage stages and mediators of feedback regulation that governthe generation of terminally differentiated olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) have beenthe subject of much experimental work. …”
