RAMAS-Net: a module-optimized convolutional network model for aortic valve stenosis recognition in echocardiography by Yejia Gan, Wanzhong Huang, Yan Deng, Xiaoying Xie, Yuanyuan Gu, Yaozhuang Zhou, Qian Zhang, Maosheng Zhang, Yangchun Liu

“…IntroductionAortic stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease that obstructs normal blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta due to pathological changes in the valve, leading to impaired cardiac function. Echocardiography is a key diagnostic tool for AS; however, its accuracy is influenced by inter-observer variability, operator experience, and image quality, which can result in misdiagnosis. …”

Grid-connected PV inverter system control optimization using Grey Wolf optimized PID controller by Monika Gupta, P. M. Tiwari, R. K. Viral, Ashish Shrivastava, Basem Abu Zneid, Iryna Hunko

“…Conventional controllers such as P and PI are widely used in PV applications due to their simplicity, but they exhibit notable limitations in dynamic environments, including increased Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), slower transient response, and poor voltage regulation—particularly under variable irradiance conditions. The proposed GWO-PID method overcomes these limitations by leveraging the GWO algorithm’s global search capability to dynamically optimize the PID gains (Kp, Ki, Kd) based on a composite fitness function that minimizes Mean Squared Error (MSE) and THD. …”

Research on the Combined Load-Bearing Mechanism of Deeply Buried Pressure Pipelines Under High Internal Water Pressure by LIU Yijie, ZHANG Xuhui, HUANG Bensheng, YANG Fengjie, YUAN Mingdao, XU Yunqian

“…To enhance the surrounding rock’s contribution, reinforcement measures such as grouting may be necessary.ConclusionsAiming at the calculation problem of load transfer and distribution in deep-buried pressure pipelines under high internal water pressure conditions, a power series solution method based on complex variable functions was proposed. By solving the potential functions for the steel liner and surrounding rock as well as the contact stress between the bearing bodies, the stress, deformation at any position of the bearing structure and surrounding rock sharing rate can be accurately determined. …”
