YOLOv9-GDV: A Power Pylon Detection Model for Remote Sensing Images by Ke Zhang, Ningxuan Zhang, Chaojun Shi, Qiaochu Lu, Xian Zheng, Yujie Cao, Xiaoyun Zhang, Jiyuan Yang

“…Finally, the Variable Minimum Point Distance Intersection over Union (VMPDIoU) loss is proposed to optimize the model’s loss function. This method employs variable input parameters to directly calculate key point distances between predicted and ground-truth boxes, more accurately reflecting positional differences between detection results and reference targets, thus effectively improving the model’s mean Average Precision (mAP). …”

Kriging-Based Variable Screening Method for Aircraft Optimization Problems with Expensive Functions by Yadong Wang, Xinyao Duan, Jiang Wang, Jin Guo, Minglei Han

“…The computational complexity of airfoil optimization for aircraft wing designs typically involves high-dimensional parameter spaces defined by geometric variables, where each Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation cycle may require significant processing resources. Therefore, performing variable selection to identify influential inputs becomes crucial for minimizing the number of necessary model evaluations, particularly when dealing with complex systems exhibiting nonlinear and poorly understood input–output relationships. …”

The proteome of circulating extracellular vesicles and their functional effect on platelets vary with the isolation method by Eva M. Fernández-Sáez, Susana B. Bravo, Carmen Pena, Ángel García

“…Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play a crucial role in cell-to-cell communication and serve as a source of biomarkers in several pathologies. In this study, we aimed to characterize plasma-derived EVs isolated by ultracentrifugation (UC) or size exclusion chromatography (SEC) to define the best method for proteomic and functional studies. …”

Development and validation of microwave-assisted extraction for phenolic compound profiling in diverse oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.) sourced from various geographical regions by M Umar Harun, Miguel Palma, Widiastuti Setyaningsih

“…Seven phenolic compounds—p-coumaric acid, t-cinnamic acid, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, quercetin-3-glucoside, gallic acid, and vanillic acid—were effectively extracted and quantified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection. Application of this method across oyster mushroom samples from different geographical sources revealed significant variation in phenolic compound concentrations, with Pleurotus pulmonarius exhibiting the highest level of gallic acid at 433.90 ± 7.77 μg g−1 (DM) and Pleurotus ostreatus var. …”
