Advances in Object Detection and Localization Techniques for Fruit Harvesting Robots by Xiaojie Shi, Shaowei Wang, Bo Zhang, Xinbing Ding, Peng Qi, Huixing Qu, Ning Li, Jie Wu, Huawei Yang

“…Due to the short time, high labor intensity and high workload of fruit and vegetable harvesting, robotic harvesting instead of manual operations is the future. The accuracy of object detection and location is directly related to the picking efficiency, quality and speed of fruit-harvesting robots. …”

The origin and development of procedural rules in Ancient Greece by D. V. Slynko, L. I. Kalenichenko

“…In addition, law-making activities are freed from the influence of religion and mythology. Instead of unwritten customs, which were interpreted by representatives of the ruling elite, secular law begins to be applied and enshrined in writing. …”

A Rare Case of Pneumopericardium in the Setting of Tuberculous Constrictive Pericarditis by Lauro L. Abrahan IV, Stephanie Martha O. Obillos, Jaime Alfonso M. Aherrera, Jose Donato A. Magno, Celia Catherine C. Uy-Agbayani, Ulysses King G. Gopez, Jobelle Joyce Anne R. Baldonado

“…We focused on the utility of echocardiography for diagnosing and monitoring this condition on a background of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis, ultimately convincing us that pericardiectomy was necessary, instead of the usual conservative measures for pneumopericardium.…”

Selected Rheological Properties of RS3/4 Type Resistant Starch by Kapelko-Żeberska Małgorzata, Zięba Tomasz, Spychaj Radosław, Gryszkin Artur

“…Changes in the rheological properties upon the effect of double modification were not the sum of changes proceeding as a result of single modifications. Instead, interaction of both factors was observed. …”

A discrete two time scales model of a size-structured population of parasitized trees by Rafael Bravo de la Parra, Ezio Venturino

“…In situations where a high fertility rate coupled with a low survival rate of adult trees causes a non-parasitized population of trees to fluctuate, a parasite sufficiently damaging only young trees can stabilize the population. If, instead, the parasite acts on adult trees, we can find a destabilization condition on the tree population that brings them from a stable to an oscillating regime.…”

A Narrative Exploration of Transformation of Moral, Social and Cultural Values among Generation Z in the Context of Marriage by Vahid Mostafapour, Hossein Eskandari, Ahmad Borjali, Faramarz Sohrabi, Mohammad Asgari

“…Conclusion: Findings indicate that that while marriage, as a sacred institution, remains intact and continues to be regarded by Generation Z as an implicit reference point with social, cultural, and Moral legitimacy, there is an observable shift away from a singular, fixed concept of marriage. Instead, marriage is increasingly being redefined and reinterpreted as an institution shaped by dynamic individual preferences, with its meaning, role, and significance subject to ongoing reconsideration.…”

New Bridge Weigh-in-Motion System Using Piezo-Bearing by Jinkyo F. Choo, Dong-Ho Ha, Seok-Gi Chang, Dong-Ho Lee, Chang-Beck Cho

“…The numerical example shows that the identification of the characteristics of the vehicle crossing the bridge can be realized based simply upon the theory of mechanics using the time histories of the measured reaction forces instead of the deformation of the bridge.…”

Dueling Network Architecture for GNN in the Deep Reinforcement Learning for the Automated ICT System Design by Tianchen Zhou, Yutaka Yakuwa, Natsuki Okamura, Hiroyuki Hochigai, Takayuki Kuroda, Ikuko Eguchi Yairi

“…The proposed method aims to improve end-to-end deep Q learning with a GNN by decomposing the GNN-based Q-network structure into two sub-streams to separately estimate the global state value and the state-dependent action advantage instead. By doing that, our dueling GNN architecture can independently learn which states are valuable or not. …”

K-Means Clustering with Local Distance Privacy by Mengmeng Yang, Longxia Huang, Chenghua Tang

“…To solve this problem, we propose a novel method that provides local distance privacy for users who participate in the clustering analysis. Instead of making the users’ records in-distinguish from each other in high-dimensional space, we map the user’s record into a one-dimensional distance space and make the records in such a distance space not be distinguished from each other. …”

Tearing-mediated Alfvénic Turbulence in a Relativistic Plasma by Stanislav Boldyrev, Nuno F. Loureiro

“…If the opposite inequality holds, the Alfvénic cascade is instead affected by charge starvation at scales below ${a}_{\mathrm{ch}}\sim {d}_{\mathrm{rel}}{\left({d}_{\mathrm{rel}}/{L}_{\perp }\right)}^{1/3}{\tilde{\sigma }}^{2/3}$ , and the energy spectrum becomes steeper than W ( k ) dk ∝ k ^−3 dk . …”

When Three Trees Go to War by van Iersel, Leo, Jones, Mark, Weller, Mathias

“…The case of three trees is interesting since it is the easiest case that cannot be equivalently formulated in terms of agreement forests. Instead, we base the result on a surprising lower bound for multilabelled trees (MUL-trees) displaying the caterpillars. …”
