Modeling the cooling effect of urban green infrastructures with an ecosystem services approach ( case study: Tehran metropolis) by S. Malekzadeh, H.R. Jafari, R. Nazari, T. Blaschke, A. Hof, M. Karimi

“…Land use/land cover maps of Tehran were generated using Landsat imagery from Thematic Mapper (2002), Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (2012), and Operational Land Imager (2022), processed with geometric and radiometric corrections in ENVI 5.3. A supervised classification via the Super Vector Machine algorithm identified four land use categories: built-up areas, barren lands, green spaces, and water bodies. …”

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound radiomics model for predicting axillary lymph node metastasis and prognosis in breast cancer: a multicenter study by Shi Yu Li, Yue Ming Li, Yong Qi Fang, Zhi Ying Jin, Jun Kang Li, Xiao Meng Zou, Si Si Huang, Rui Lan Niu, Nai Qing Fu, Yu Hong Shao, Xuan Tong Gong, Mao Ran Li, Wei Wang, Zhi Li Wang

“…Combining radiomics scores with clinical immunoinflammatory markers (platelet count and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) yielded a clinical-radiomics model predicting disease-free survival (DFS), with C-indices of 0.80, 0.73, and 0.79 across the three cohorts. In the external validation cohort, the clinical-radiomics model achieved higher AUCs for predicting 2-, 3-, and 5-year DFS compared to the clinical model alone (2-year: 0.79 vs. 0.66; 3-year: 0.83 vs. 0.70; 5-year: 0.78 vs. 0.64; all P < 0.05). …”

Dynamic continuous simulation study of robotic arms for human-machine shared control by YAO Zhenqiu, ZHOU Xingqi, GUO Hao, FENG Chuanpu

“…When the control weight of the robotic arm is switched, the joint angle changes abruptly due to the composition of the robotic arm, signal delay and other reasons, which affects the dynamic continuity of the control system.MethodsTo solve this problem, a feasible shared control strategy was proposed to determine the control weight, a local fitting algorithm based on the interpolation of 3 times Bezier curves was used to realize the optimization of the trajectory of the robotic arm, and the continuity of the control system of the robotic arm was simulated and verified with respect to the optimized trajectory of this algorithm.ResultsThe simulation results show that by comparing different trajectory planning curves, the adopted method can effectively inhibit the sudden change of the angle caused by the switching of control weights, realize the continuous smoothing of the joint angle and angular velocity curves at the switching moment, and effectively inhibit the acceleration oscillations, which has good robustness.…”
