Numerical Study of the Effect of Furrows on Biosonar Beamforming in Aselliscus Stoliczkanus Bat by Weikai HE, Jianxiong FENG, Li GAO, Zhiwei ZHANG, Hongwang LU

“…The present research focuses on the conspicuous furrows in noseleaf, and our analysis allows to conclude the followings: a) structural details in noseleaf of Aselliscus Stoliczkanus bat can produce acoustic effects even if it is not adjacent to the nostrils, b) the furrows possess frequency-selective characteristics, c) the furrows have the function to manipulate the direction and width of the outgoing ultrasound wave.…”

Efficiency Evaluation of Segmentation Algorithms for AFM Images by V. V. Rabtsevich, V. Yu. Tsviatkou

“…For segmentation, algorithms were used based on wave growth of local maximum regions with their selection in decreasing order of values (without stopping and with stopping at a given level), marker watershed (with automatic placement of markers, under the control of the operator), watershed based on distances, growing areas (without selecting starting points, with the choice of starting points based on extrema), the Vincent – Sulli watershed (classical, with a preliminary calculation of the gradient in an eight-connected area, with the selection of the contours of the areas and their subsequent filling), a two-phase watershed. …”

Patterns of student socio-emotional development and teacher-student-relationship-quality for high-school students with and without special educational needs: a multigroup latent tr... by Giuliana Pastore, Wassilis Kassis, André Kunz, Reto Luder

“…In addition, we tested whether having SEN or being in a high vs. low selective schools make a difference for the composition of each profile.MethodsTo this end, latent class (LCA) and latent transition analyses (LTA) were conducted with longitudinal data from a three-waves (2019, 2020, and 2021) questionnaire study with N = 807 junior high school students in Switzerland.ResultsFour similar patterns could be identified in both low and high selective schools: “happy” students, feeling generally well (emotionally, socially and cognitively) and well-supported by teachers; “unhappy” students, not feeling well and not supported, “teacher-oriented” students, not feeling well but well-supported by teachers, and finally “unstable” students, drastically changing their perceptions of wellbeing, inclusion and self-concept over time but consistently feeling less reliance on teachers. …”
