Study on Influence of Cavity and Water Mist on Flame Propagation of Gas Explosion in a Pipeline by Shicheng Gu, Shujie Yuan, Zhuo Yan, Xiaoxue Xu

“…The influence of the cavity with water mist on flame attenuation of gas explosion is better than that of the cavity alone. Based on theoretical analysis, it is concluded that the inhibition influence of the cavity on explosion flame propagation is mainly due to repeated reflection of flame in the cavity, which results in the attenuation of its energy. …”

Effect of Near-Fault Pulsed Ground Motions on Seismic Response and Seismic Performance to Tunnel Structures by Xiancheng Mei, Qian Sheng, Zhen Cui

“…Near-fault ground motions are generally assumed to providing more powerful energy to tunnel structures. Therefore, a recently developed velocity pulse equivalent model is proposed to synthesize the artificial near-fault pulsed ground motion for the seismic response behavior of the tunnel structure. …”

Speech-based personality prediction using deep learning with acoustic and linguistic embeddings by Martin Lukac

“…We collected data from 2045 participants who completed a self-reported Big Five personality questionnaire and provided free-form speech samples by introducing themselves without constraints on content. Using pre-trained convolutional neural networks and transformer-based models, we extracted embeddings representing both acoustic features (e.g., tone, pitch, rhythm) and linguistic content from the speech samples. …”

The Effects of Aerobic Training on Depression and Resilience among Healthcare Workers by Hassan Shafaei

“…Finally, the results of ANCOVA showed significant differences between experimental and control groups in both depression and resilience (both P=0.001).Conclusion: These results suggest that physical activity and sport can be considered as an important factor in coping with severe job-related conditions in healthcare workers. Therefore, by increasing physical activity and sport, better conditions can be created for healthcare workers to ensure their mental health.…”
