Molecular rotor as a high-temperature Brownian motor by O. Ye. Tsomyk, T. Ye. Korochkova, V. M. Rozenbaum

“…It is shown that, at a stepped change of an alternating electric field, the values of the angular velocity are higher, for any frequency of the applied field, than those at a harmonic change, and a dichotomic mode of the electric field changing is generally more efficient one, resulting in the optimal mode of rotor operation. …”

Prospects of application of artificial neural networks for forecasting of cargo transportation volume in transport systems by D. T. Yakupov, O. N. Rozhko

“…When predicting the ANN, three methods of learning were used: 1) the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm-network training stops when the generalization ceases to improve, which is shown by the increase in the mean square error of the output value; 2) Bayes regularization method - network training is stopped in accordance with the minimization of adaptive weights; 3) the method of scaled conjugate gradients, which is used to find the local extremum of a function on the basis of information about its values and gradient. …”

Effects of a 10-week pulmonary rehabilitation program based on the 5A nursing model in patients with interstitial lung disease: a quasi-experimental study by Meihua Li, Yuyang Chang, Jia Fan, Bing Liang, Danhua Qu

“…After 10 weeks of intervention, the PR program based on the 5A nursing model group had more significant improvements in self-efficacy (P = 0.001), anxiety (P = 0.005), and depression (P = 0.018) compared to the control group, but there were no significant differences in dyspnea, lung function, or quality of life (P > 0.05). …”

First-principles study of the structural, electronic, mechanical, and optical properties of Zintl-phase K2AgBi ternary compound for optoelectronic applications by John Peter Kachira, Robinson Musembi, Francis Nyongesa, Mwende Mbilo, Martin Nyamunga, Ibrahim Musanyi

“…A comprehensive first-principles study was conducted to explore the structural, electronic, mechanical, thermophysical, and optical properties of a Zintl-phase K2AgBi ternary semiconductor compound using density functional theory. The calculations employed the local density approximation (LDA), generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and meta-GGA methods. …”

Natural sounds can be reconstructed from human neuroimaging data using deep neural network representation. by Jong-Yun Park, Mitsuaki Tsukamoto, Misato Tanaka, Yukiyasu Kamitani

“…Although decoding visual content from functional MRI (fMRI) has seen significant success, reconstructing arbitrary sounds remains challenging due to the fine temporal structure of auditory signals and the coarse temporal resolution of fMRI. …”

Research on downhole drilling target detection based on improved Yolov8n by Jierui Ling, Zhibo Fu, Xinpeng Yuan

“…The Focaler_MDPIoU loss function was introduced to replace the CIoU loss function, and combined with a lightweight MLCA attention mechanism, a new convolutional block structure was formed, thereby enabling better feature fusion and helping the model focus more centrally on the important parts of the input image. …”

Modelling multi-pulse population dynamics from ultrafast spectroscopy. by Luuk J G W van Wilderen, Craig N Lincoln, Jasper J van Thor

“…The modelling of pathways is therefore extended by new theory (which is included in the toolbox) that describes the finite bleach (orientation) effect of single and multiple intense polarised femtosecond pulses on an ensemble of randomly oriented particles in the presence of population decay. For instance, the generally assumed flat-top multimode beam profile is adapted to a more realistic Gaussian shape, exposing the need for several corrections for accurate anisotropy measurements. …”
