Cross-Spectral Cross-Distance Face Recognition via CNN with Image Augmentation Techniques by Nisa Adilla Rahmatika, Fitri Arnia, Maulisa Oktiana

“…Three CNN models—VGG16, ResNet50, and EfficientNetB0—were assessed using a dataset comprising 800 facial images from 100 individuals, captured at four different distances (1m, 60m, 100m, and 150m) and across two wavelengths (NIR and VIS). The Multi-task Cascaded Convolutional Networks (MTCNN) algorithm was employed for face detection, followed by image preprocessing steps including resizing to 224x224 pixels, normalization, and homomorphic filtering. …”

Influence of Test Protocol on Filtration Efficiency of Medical Face Mask Material by Aurélie Joubert, Ala Bouhanguel, Yves Andrès, Laurence Le Coq

“…Several polydisperse test aerosols were used - DEHS, alumina, HOLI, NaCl, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Emesvirus zinderi (MS2) - produced by liquid atomization and/or powder dispersion, and sized by optical and aerodynamic counters or cascade impactors. The results have shown that the particle size distribution and charges for a given type of aerosol can differ depending on the generator used, in particular the wet or dry nature of generation. …”

Dioscin pretreatment ameliorates ferroptosis in cardiomyocytes after myocardial infarction via inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress by Chang Wu, Xueping Shen, Pan Lou, Dongyan Song

“…Moreover, Dioscin exerted its protective effects by inhibiting ER stress markers, such as the phosphorylation levels of PERK and eIF2α proteins, and the expression levels of BIP and ATF4 proteins, thus disrupting the ER stress-mediated signaling cascade associated with ferroptosis. Conclusion Overall, our findings suggested that Dioscin holds promise as a therapeutic agent against post-MI cardiac injury by mitigating ferroptosis via the suppression of ER stress. …”
