Left Ventricle Segmentation in Cardiac MR Images via an Improved ResUnet by Shengzhou Xu, Haoran Lu, Shiyu Cheng, Chengdan Pei

“…An enhanced ResUnet is proposed in this paper to improve the performance of extracting LV endocardium and epicardium from MR images, improving the accuracy of the model by introducing a medium skip connection for the contracting path and a short skip connection for the residual unit. …”

Experimental Study on Cracking Behaviour and Strength Properties of an Expansive Soil under Cyclic Wetting and Drying by Tao Li, Yanqing He, Guokun Liu, Binru Li, Rui Hou

“…The applied vertical load reduces the weakening effect of the wetting-drying cycles on the soil structure and strength by restraining the expansion and contraction deformation. (2) By analyzing the number of wetting-drying cycles and the crack images, the crack development (length, direction, etc.) of the expansive soil can be predicted and described. (3) There is a specific linear correlation between the crack ratio and strength that approached a limit value with ongoing wetting-drying cycles. …”

A Survey on High-Order Internal Model Based Iterative Learning Control by Miao Yu, Sheng Chai

“…HOIM-based ILC for nonlinear systems is more complex than HOIM-based ILC for linear systems, and when the system parameters change iteratively, the Lyapunov-based analysis method is used instead of traditional contraction mapping method. Not only can HOIM be integrated into the traditional ILC, it can be also combined with other control methods, such as adaptive control, terminal control, repetitive control and so on. …”

Le texte victorien à l’âge postmoderne : jouvence ou sénescence ? Fingersmith de Sarah Waters et le mélodrame victorien by Georges Letissier

“…The argument is illustrated by taking the example of Sarah Waters’s Fingersmith, published in 2002. Through a contrastive, dialogic method of reading, it can be shown that Waters felicitously weaves together masterly-contrived plots from her Victorian predecessors, in order to sustain suspense, while setting the lesbian issue high on her narrative agenda. …”

Biochar and/or Compost Applications Improve Soil Properties, Growth, and Yield of Maize Grown in Acidic Rainforest and Coastal Savannah Soils in Ghana by Albert Kobina Mensah, Kwame Agyei Frimpong

“…A 40-day pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effects of corncob biochar and compost applied alone (at a rate of 2%, w/w) or in combination (1% of each, thus 1% compost + 1% biochar) on soil physicochemical properties, growth, and yield of maize on two soils of contrasting pH and texture collected from the Rainforest and Coastal Savannah agroecological zones of Ghana. …”

Gastric Pneumatosis in the Setting of Diabetic Ketoacidosis by Mohammed Rifat Shaik, Chet Ranabhat, Nishat Anjum Shaik, Akshay Duddu, Zaid Bilgrami, Guofeng Xie

“…Gastric pneumatosis, an uncommon radiologic finding characterized by the presence of gas within the gastric wall, presents a diagnostic challenge due to its association with both benign gastric emphysema and more severe emphysematous gastritis. The contrasting outcomes and management approaches for these conditions underscore the necessity for accurate diagnosis and appropriate intervention. …”
