A 3D Most Vulnerable Path Search Method for Physical Protection Systems Based on the EASI Model by Aiguo Li, Yanfeng Deng

“…The search efficiency is improved by restricting the intermediate points and the angle between the start and target points and improving the heuristic function. The improved algorithms are simulated and compared, and the results show that the paths generated by the improved algorithms are more reasonable, and the algorithms consume less time and have shorter path lengths.…”

Mechanical Behavior and Energy Evolution of Sandstone considering Slenderness Ratio Effect by Bibo Dai, Xingdong Zhao, Shuwen Zhang, Qian Kang, Zhonghua Zhu

“…When the slenderness ratio, D, is lower than 1.5, complex failures and multiple shear planes are formed, while simple failures and single shear planes are generated at D larger than 1.5. Besides, the AE ringing counts are more obvious with a higher slenderness ratio, D, at the initial compression stage due to the greater body volume and more defects in the sandstone. …”

Optimization of an Intelligent Music-Playing System Based on Network Communication by Liaoyan Zhang

“…As song libraries and users of music websites and APPs continue to increase, user interaction data are generated at an increasingly fast rate, making the shortcomings of the original offline recommendation system and the advantages of the real-time streaming recommendation system more and more obvious. …”

Modal Shift in Public Transport Under Fiscal-Based Policies Scenarios for Jakarta by Alfa Adib Ash Shiddiqi, Dwita Sutjiningsih, Tri Tjahjono, Linda Darmajanti, Gede B. Suprayoga

“…A stated preference survey was conducted, and a binomial logit model and standard utility function were developed for analysis. Diagrams showing commuters' willingness to shift to public transport were then generated from the analysis. …”

Multifractal Analysis of Geological Data Using a Moving Window Dynamical Approach by Gil Silva, Fernando Pellon de Miranda, Mateus Michelon, Ana Ovídio, Felipe Venturelli, Letícia Moraes, João Ferreira, João Parêdes, Alexandre Cury, Flávio Barbosa

“…Validations for the proposed methodology were performed using controlled artificial data generated from Weierstrass–Mandelbrot functions. Then, the methodology was applied to real geological profile data measuring permeability and porosity in oil wells, revealing the fractal dimensions of these data along the depth of each analyzed case. …”

Autophagic flux-lipid droplet biogenesis cascade sustains mitochondrial fitness in colorectal cancer cells adapted to acidosis by Xiaojie Liu, Xue Sun, Wenqing Mu, Yanan Li, Wenqing Bu, Tingting Yang, Jia Zhang, Rui Liu, Jiayu Ren, Jin Zhou, Peishan Li, Yufang Shi, Changshun Shao

“…Here, we show that colorectal cancer cells adapted to acidic microenvironment (CRC-AA) are more reliant on oxidative phosphorylation than their parental cells, and the acetyl-CoA in CRC-AA cells are generated from fatty acids and glutamine, but not from glucose. …”

Identification of Ecological Security Pattern and Ecological Restoration Zoning Strategy in the Shandong Section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal by Chizhou Xu, Yande Jing, Yiwen Zhang, Yingchun Liu, Wenyang Yin, Shiping Zhao

“…Additionally, 40 ecological corridors, 48 ecological pinch points, and 75 ecological barrier points were generated, densely distributed in the east. The area was divided into five core functional zones. (4) Conclusions: Establishing ecological function zones and considering landscape changes from high-frequency human activities in spatial planning can lead to a more reasonable division of ecological restoration areas. …”

Positivity bounds in scalar Effective Field Theories at one-loop level by Yunxiao Ye, Bin He, Jiayin Gu

“…In particular, the one-loop generated dimension-8 operator coefficients (that would be positive if generated at the tree level), as well as their β-functions are generally not subject to positivity bounds as they might correspond to interference terms of the cross sections under the optical theorem, which could have either sign. …”

Distinct types of fibrocyte can differentiate from mononuclear cells in the presence and absence of serum. by S John Curnow, Marianne Fairclough, Caroline Schmutz, Steve Kissane, Alastair K O Denniston, Kate Nash, Christopher D Buckley, Janet M Lord, Mike Salmon

“…The differentiation of fibrocytes remains poorly characterised and this has limited understanding of their biology and function. In particular two methods are used to generate fibrocytes in vitro that differ fundamentally by the presence or absence of serum.…”
