Anisotropic persistent random walk model simulates T-cells migration over curved landscapes by Gildas Carlin, Ian Manifacier, Dang Khoa Cao, Laurent Pieuchot, Valeriy Luchnikov, Jean-Louis Milan

“…The model also reveals a superdiffusive behavior on curvature, demonstrating more efficient movement compared to flat surfaces. The anisotropic randomness incorporated in the model appears as a critical feature which shapes T-cells persistence mechanisms by increasing cellular activity in the axis of concave valleys and promoting migration towards concave areas.…”

Study on the Improvement of Flow Pattern of Rest Pools of Vertical Slot Fishway by JIANG Hui, RONG Guiwen, SUN Shuangke, ZHENG Tiegang, MENG Han

“…Rest pools provide a rest place for migratory fish to swim upstream,so whether its flow pattern is reasonable or not directly affects the upstream efficiency of fish.Based on the design principle of the mainstream centered in the pool,this paper builds a three-dimensional numerical model to optimize the shape of the vertical slot fishway rest pool,and analyzes the influence law of installing rectifying plates and adjusting the length and width of rectifying plates on the flow pattern in the rest pool.The results show that increasing the length of rectifying plate can effectively improve the flow pattern of mainstream adhering to the wall in the rest pool,while the width adjustment has little effect on the flow pattern.The optimization measures of installing rectifying plates have little influence on turbulent kinetic energy of the pool.On this basis,it is a recommended optimization scheme to increase the length of guide plate and rectifying plate to 0.6 meters.…”

Date recognition based on multi feature extraction by Min WANG, Jia WU, Shuo SUN, Sheng LI, Kang WANG

“…Drug production date and expiration date are important indicators to measure the safety and effectiveness of drugs.The production date and validity period of liquid drugs in vertical bags are printed with numbers of 0～9.The recognition of the drug date of the hospital needs to meet the requirements of high speed and accuracy.The conventional template matching method and neural network recognition method have large amount of calculation and complex training.A drug date recognition method was proposed based on multi feature extraction.The combination of vertical line feature and three features for fine feature extraction of different digital characters has advantages of small amount of calculation and fast recognition speed.Compared with the recognition method of single extracted feature, it can effectively distinguish 10 different numbers, especially suitable for numbers of similar shape.It can provide patients with safe drug use guarantee, improve the management mode of the medical staff, improve the work efficiency, so as to improve the level of the pharmaceutical service of the hospital.…”
