Development of palm pool brondonal pick up tools to increase time efficiency by VDI 2221 method by Dyah Rachmawati Lucitasari, Fidah Jihad Ramadhani

“…Previously there was a manual tool which had shortcomings in the form of the design of the chute section which was still less than optimal in the trajectory of throwing the brochures into the container, sometimes the brochures were thrown upwards instead of backwards into the reservoir. Another drawback is that when carrying tools if the distance is quite far then this process is a little difficult. …”

Cold War as Social Conflict, Iron Curtains and Application of Dѐtente Policy as Cold War Concept by Effiong Ekpo, Udeoji Ebele Angela

“…The ideological perspective to the conflict makes the difference and the primary justification to the distrust by the two superpowers and their allies that created a reality to the ordinary man in the society beyond the operative objectives. The paper instead opines that cold war as a global social systemic conflict located in the typology of conflict or interest, which subsume economic interest, ideological incompatibility and misperception. …”

Beyond Humanoid Prosthetic Hands: Modular Terminal Devices That Improve User Performance by Digby Chappell, Barry Mulvey, Shehara Perera, Fernando Bello, Petar Kormushev, Nicolas Rojas

“…This lack in functionality can be partially attributed to the widely accepted anthropomorphic design ideology in the field; attempting to replicate human hand form and function despite severe limitations in control and sensing technology. Instead, prosthetic hands can be tailored to perform specific tasks without increasing complexity by shedding the constraints of anthropomorphism. …”

Numerical analysis of factors causing long-term trends and annual variations of sulfur and nitrogen deposition amount in Japan from 2000 to 2020 by Satoru Chatani, Hikari Shimadera, Kyo Kitayama, Kazuya Nishina

“…Decreases caused by the reduction in anthropogenic NOx emissions in Japan were compensated for by increases caused by increasing NOx emissions in China and changes in the gas-aerosol partitioning of nitrates instead of sulfates. The decreasing trend in nitrogen deposition in Japan became statistically significant during the second half of the study period (2010–2020) after anthropogenic NOx emissions started to decline in China. …”

On the Shoulders of Giants: Incremental Influence Maximization in Evolving Social Networks by Xiaodong Liu, Xiangke Liao, Shanshan Li, Si Zheng, Bin Lin, Jingying Zhang, Lisong Shao, Chenlin Huang, Liquan Xiao

“…In this paper, we propose an incremental approach, IncInf, which can efficiently locate the top-K influential individuals in evolving social networks based on previous information instead of calculation from scratch. In particular, IncInf quantitatively analyzes the influence spread changes of nodes by localizing the impact of topology evolution to only local regions, and a pruning strategy is further proposed to narrow the search space into nodes experiencing major increases or with high degrees. …”

Evaluating Functional Outcome of Oblique Cut  across Mentum  in Advanced Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Shomes Mozumder, Shilpi Agrawal, Aniruddha Dam, Anup Kumar Bhowmick, Ishita Sinha

“…Evaluation of the functional outcome has been done in those cases which were unsuitable for free flap reconstruction so & an oblique cut was placed across mentum & pedicle flap was done instead. Material and methods: In this study from 26 December 2022 to 25 March 2023, the effect of oblique cut across mentum in 10 patients of oral  SCC were analysed for functional outcome over next 3 months. …”

Multi-scale comparison of the formation mechanisms in landscape genes of traditional villages by Chao Yu, Zhiyuan Zhou, Junbo Gao, Xiangmin Zhang, Qian Zheng, Zhengbing Liu, Zhifei Ma, Weichun He, Suping Wen

“…Convergence analysis challenges the simplistic correspondence between subjective judgment and quantitative findings, indicating that macro-level geographic environmental features may not exert as substantial an influence on micro-level architectural clusters as previously assumed. Instead, there are instances where the internal spatial structure of clusters may transcends geographic constraints. …”

Evaluation of the Performance Degradation of Hybrid Steel-Polypropylene Fiber Reinforced Concrete under Freezing-Thawing Conditions by Daming Luo, Yan Wang, Ditao Niu

“…Previous studies on hybrid steel-polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (HSPFRC) focused primarily on its mechanics instead of its frost resistance. In this work, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, mass loss rate, relative dynamic elastic modulus (RDEM), and flexural toughness of HSPFRC after freezing-thawing (F-T) are studied, and the relative importance of each factor affecting the frost resistance of HSPFRC is quantified by using fuzzy rough set theory. …”

Simultaneous Classification of Objects with Unknown Rejection (SCOUR) Using Infra-Red Sensor Imagery by Adam Cuellar, Daniel Brignac, Abhijit Mahalanobis, Wasfy Mikhael

“…Specifically, we do not alter the training strategy of the main classifier so that its performance on known classes remains unchanged. Instead, we introduce a second network (trained using regression) that uses the decision of the primary classifier to produce a class conditional score that indicates whether an input object is indeed a known object. …”

Taxing data when the United States disagrees by Tarcísio Diniz Magalhães, Allison Christians

“…This Article argues that in the face of such U.S. resistance, EU member states and countries elsewhere ought to reconsider using the income tax system to achieve their goals instead. We first review the events that led countries to avoid the income tax in favour of standalone taxes only to become embroiled in domestic U.S. trade policies. …”
