Spectral decomposition unlocks ascidian morphogenesis by Joel Dokmegang, Emmanuel Faure, Patrick Lemaire, Edwin Munro, Madhav Mani

“…In this work, we leverage the power of a continuum mechanics approach and flexibility of spectral decompositions to propose a standardized framework for automatic detection and timing of morphological processes. First, we quantify whole-embryo scale shape changes in developing ascidian embryos by statistically estimating the strain rate tensor field of its time-evolving surface without the requirement of cellular segmentation and tracking. …”

Analysis and experiment of entanglement relationship between straw and rotating rollers of the grass curtain machine by Dong Wang, Dian Wang, Hongrui Liu

“…Furthermore, an orthogonal experiment based on a test platform was designed to validate the rationality of the simulation results, variance analysis and range analysis were employed to process the experimental data. The results show that: (1) factor A (R = 6.67, p = 0.028), factor B (R = 8.67, p = 0.016), and factor C (R = 7.8, p = 0.020), which correspond to DR, LS, and NS respectively, verify the validity of the simulation model's conclusions, and the priority of these factors is LS > NS > DR. (2) the degree of entanglement is directly proportional to LS, inversely proportional to the DR, and directly proportional to the NS. (3) When the diameter of the rotating roller is 200 mm, the straw mass is 10 g, and the straw length is 855 mm, the entanglement rate is 26 %, and the rotating roller is least likely to be entangled.…”

Design of the Vibrating Sieving Mechanism for a Quinoa Combine Harvester and Coupled Analysis of DEM-MBD by Ruijie Shi, Xiaojing Ren, Fei Dai, Wuyun Zhao, Tianfu Wang

“…The coupling results of the permeability of each material in the cleaning and screening mechanism, as well as the vibrating screen movement condition, indicate that when the herringbone screen opening degree is set in the range of 15° to 30°, the cleaning and screening device can achieve a high cleaning efficiency while maintaining a low impurity rate. Field trial data further confirm that within this opening range, the cleaning effect and efficiency both exhibit significant advantages.…”

THE EFFECT OF BOUNDING ATTACHMENT EDUCATION ON INCREASING KNOWLEDGE OF PREGNANT WOMEN TRIMESTER III AT BPM H BENGKULU CITY by Juanda Syafita Sari

“…This response can be formed through the bounding attachment process. The lack of loving response between mother and baby in the form of bounding attachment will affect the baby's development process such as stereotyped behavior, abnormal social behavior, motor, cognitive and verbal decline and can even increase the infant mortality rate (IMR). …”

Spatiotemporal patterns of accumulation and surface roughness in interior Greenland with a GNSS-IR network by D. J. Pickell, R. L. Hawley, A. LeWinter

“…These surface accumulation and roughness measurements provide a novel data set for these critical variables and show a statistically significant relationship with occurrences of both high winds and precipitation events but only moderate correlations, suggesting that other processes may also contribute to accumulation and enhanced surface roughness in the interior region of Greenland.…”
