Calibration of force sensor mounted in tire tread block under rolling contact condition by Koga Ishido, Masami Matsubara, Takayuki Toyoshima, Tomonori Sakai, Akira Shibuya, Hiroshi Tachiya, Masahiro Higuchi

“…Several methods have been proposed previously to measure the contact force of the entire tire by attaching sensors inside the tire; however, the method proposed in this study can measure the triaxial load acting on a single tread block, which is particularly useful for designing the tread pattern in the contact patch and is unique from previous studies. …”

Investigation of Thermal Behaviour of Mesocarp Fibre and Bituminous Coal with their Blends by Olutosin Olufisayo Ilori, James Tayo Bamigboye, Oluwasegun Michael Adebanjo, Akpoizokumor Jeremiah Tobi, Ayo James Kayode, Pelumi Ebenezer Akinlotan, Michael Odumu Ebegonye, Opeoluwa Damilola Sola-Adeoye

“…Although, the blending of MF with CF was found to have significant effects on the thermal behaviour of both feedstocks, due to a better pattern in the feedstocks’ behaviour at 5 oC/min heating rate, it can be deduced that this rate helps to have a better insight into the thermal behaviour of the feedstocks studied. …”

Stimulation mapping and whole-brain modeling reveal gradients of excitability and recurrence in cortical networks by Davide Momi, Zheng Wang, Sara Parmigiani, Ezequiel Mikulan, Sorenza P. Bastiaens, Mohammad P. Oveisi, Kevin Kadak, Gianluca Gaglioti, Allison C. Waters, Sean Hill, Andrea Pigorini, Corey J. Keller, John D. Griffiths

“…High-order brain regions/networks thus show an activity pattern characterized by more inter-network functional integration than low-order ones, which manifests as a spatial gradient of excitability that is emergent from, and causally dependent on, the underlying hierarchical network structure. …”

Strategic land management for ecosystem Sustainability: Scenario insights from the Northeast black soil region by Yufei Zhang, Zhenxing Bian, Xiaoyu Guo, Chuqiao Wang, Deyang Guan

“…The results show that: During the 30-year period, 1) Under any of the simulated scenarios, the level of ecosystem services in the NBSR tends to increase overall. 2) Rapid conversion between land use types and reduction of forest land area lead to weakening of synergies and increasing of trade-offs among ecosystem services. 3) Conversion and intensity of land use types significantly impacted on the level of ecosystem services under different scenarios (p < 0.05); the transfer out of built-up land (0.1249) and the transfer in of water area (0.1153) contributed more to the ESI. 4) The land use pattern under the sustainable development policy (SD scenario), which emphasizes ecological land conservation, effectively enhances ecosystem service levels. …”

One-Step Dry-Etching Fabrication of Tunable Two-Hierarchical Nanostructures by Xu Ji, Bo Wang, Zhongshan Zhang, Yuan Xiang, Haifang Yang, Ruhao Pan, Junjie Li

“…Consequently, the achieved two-hierarchical nanostructure configuration features a cross-section of an upper triangle and a lower rectangle, showing higher controllable degrees compared to the one-order ones. Both the mask pattern and etching parameters play crucial roles, by which two-hierarchical structures with diversiform shapes can be constructed controllably. …”

EXTENDED SUBTOTAL MANDIBULECTOMY IN A CAT WITH ALVEOLAR OSTEOMYELITIS CHARACTERIZED BY A SPICULATED PERIOSTEAL REACTION by Eun-Jae Cho, Min-Jung Ko, Jae-Eun Hyun, Aryung Nam, Yun Young Go, Hun-Young Yoon

“…Computed tomography (CT) scans revealed that the mass was confined to the body of the mandible, with a prominent periosteal reaction characterized by a spiculated pattern. The extensive and irregular morphology of the periosteal reaction strongly suggested malignancy. …”

Phonation differentiation by non-contact laryngeal magnetomyography by Justus Marquetand, Nima Noury, Hongyu Lu, Haodi Yang, Chrystina Montuori Sorrentino, Lukas Rüttiger, Marlies Knipper, Christoph Braun, Hubert Löwenheim, Johannes von Fraunberg, Anke Tropitzsch, Markus Siegel, Stephan Wolpert

“…In both subjects, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was able to significantly classify vocalization conditions based on the spatial pattern of MMG activities. In sum, we show that laryngeal MMG allows contactless differentiation of phonations based on myomagnetic signals. …”

Comparative Effects of Narrow vs. Wide Cuff Blood Flow Restriction on Muscle Synergy Dynamics: A Time-Frequency Decomposition Approach by Shuai Chang, Chenxi Hu

“…Surface electromyography (sEMG) signals were recorded from eight lower-limb muscles, and muscle synergy patterns were analyzed using NNMF and WPT-NNMF. The results showed that, compared to Non-BFRT, the 10 cm-BFRT condition significantly increased activation in the vastus lateralis (VL), gluteus maximus (GM), tibialis anterior (TA), and lateral gastrocnemius (GL), while the 5 cm-BFRT decreased activation in the biceps femoris (BF) and increased TA activation. …”
