The development of in silico trials based on high-fidelity simulations of clinical procedures requires the availability of large cohorts of three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific anatomy models, which are often hard to collect due to limited availability and/or accessibility and imaging quality. Statistical shape modeling (SSM) allows one to identify the main modes of shape variation and to generate new samples based on the variability observed in a training dataset. In this work, a method for the automatic 3D reconstruction of vascular anatomies based on SSM is used for the generation of a virtual cohort of cerebrovascular models suitable for computational simulations, useful for in silico stroke trials. Starting from 88 cerebrovascular anatomies segmented from stroke patients’ images, an SSM algorithm was developed to generate a virtual population of 100 vascular anatomies, defined by centerlines and diameters. An acceptance criterion was defined based on geometric parameters, resulting in the acceptance of 83 generated anatomies. The 3D reconstruction method was validated by reconstructing a cerebrovascular phantom lumen and comparing the result with an STL geometry obtained from a computed tomography scan. In conclusion, the final 3D models of the generated anatomies show that the proposed methodology can produce a reliable cohort of cerebral arteries.

With the increasing variety of products, the increasing substitutability of products, and the trend of customized products, the volatility of market demand is increasing, which poses a challenge to make accurate demand forecasting. The Bayesian method is particularly promising and appealing when the data fluctuate greatly. This paper proposes a product-demand forecasting model based on multilayer Bayesian network, which introduces hidden layer variables and volatility factors to meet the time series connection and volatility of the demand data. However, most studies use sampling methods to estimate the parameters. We use Bayesian maximum a posteriori estimation to estimate the model parameters and introduce an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm (MPSO) to optimize the objective function. In order to increase the diversity of the particle population and accelerate the convergence, an adaptive particle velocity, position updating strategy, and nonlinear changing inertia weight are introduced in the algorithm. Finally, RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) are used as the evaluation criterion to conduct experiments on six different datasets, and the experimental results are compared with the results of the ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average model) method and PSO algorithm. The experimental results show that the method has a good prediction effect. It provides a new idea for demand forecasting in the supply chain.

Melanoma is a fatal skin cancer that can be treated efficiently with early detection. There is a pressing need for dependable computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems to address this concern effectively. In this work, a melanoma identification method with feature interpretation was designed. The method included preprocessing, feature extraction, feature ranking, and classification. Initially, image quality was improved through preprocessing and k-means segmentation was used to identify the lesion area. The texture, color, and shape features of this region were then extracted. These features were further refined through feature recursive elimination (RFE) to optimize them for the classifiers. The classifiers, including support vector machine (SVM) with four kernels, logistic regression (LR), and Gaussian naive Bayes (GaussianNB) were applied. Additionally, cross-validation and 100 randomized experiments were designed to guarantee the generalization of the model. The experiments generated explainable feature importance rankings, and importantly, the model demonstrated robust performance across diverse datasets.

Tire acoustic cavity resonance noise (TACRN) contributes significantly to the interior noise of electric cars and passenger cars with lower powertrain noise, which affects the comfort of the ride. To suppress TACRN effectively, it is crucial to clarify the characteristics of TACRN. In previous studies, the acoustic wave in the tire acoustic cavity is straightforwardly assumed to be the plane wave for convenience. In fact, there exist strict conditions for the acoustic wave propagating in the pipeline to act as a plane wave. The aim of this paper is to make the characteristics and evolution of acoustic waves in tire acoustic cavities clear. To do so, a simplified model of the tire cavity is established, and the sound field distribution and the acoustic wave propagation characteristics in the tire cavity are analyzed based on the theory of acoustic waveguide. Then, the existence ranges of higher-order waves (non-plane waves), the conditions of an acoustic wave evolving into a plane wave, and the frequency range of a plane wave are investigated. Finally, the characteristics and evolution law of an acoustic wave in a tire acoustic cavity are obtained. The work in this paper may deepen the understanding of the characteristics and mechanism of acoustic waves in the tire cavity and be helpful and meaningful for analyzing and suppressing TACRN. Therefore, it is of practical significance to reduce TACRN transmitted to the vehicle and improve the sound quality inside the vehicle.

Science and engineering research studies are currently concentrating on synthesizing, designing, producing, and consuming ecologically benign chemical species to replace harmful chemicals. This is due to the increasing demands of conservation knowledge and strict ecological regulations. Numerous environmentally friendly substitutes produced from natural resources, including biopolymers, plant extracts, chemical pharmaceuticals (drugs), and so on, are now frequently used as inhibitors to replace dangerous corrosion inhibitors. Many compounds have been extensively used. A range of methods, including physisorption, chemisorption, barrier protection, thin-film growth, and electrochemical procedures, will be used to provide corrosion resistance. The various kinds of corrosion inhibitors (CIs), the mechanisms underlying inhibition, and the evaluation procedures have all been covered in-depth. This review provides an overview of the relevant literature in which researchers and scientists used different types of CIs, the effect of CIs on metals, and information about designs and mechanisms used to minimize corrosion in a variety of equipment composed of alloys or metals, along with electrochemical evaluation studies. This review will provide scholars with fresh insights to advance the discipline.

A field experiment with winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation was conducted at the Research and Education Centre in Tomaszkowo, Poland (53°72′ N; 20°42′ E) in the years 2013–2016. Fertilisation with nitrogen at 150 and 200 kg ha−1 and foliar application of manganese at 0.5 and 1.5 kg ha−1 were the research factors. Wheat infestation by Fusarium spp. was determined by the habitat conditions during crop growth. Neither nitrogen nor manganese fertilisation affected the presence of Fusarium spp. symptoms on wheat ears, but the infestation intensity decreased with increasing nitrogen and manganese content in the grain. Only the level of deoxynivalenol (DON) was correlated with Fusarium spp. infestation. Increasing the nitrogen fertilisation rate from 150 kg ha−1 to 200 kg ha−1 resulted in higher grain contamination with toxins. Supplementation of nitrogen fertilisation with manganese reduced the number of mycotoxins in wheat grain. The grain yield was mainly affected by the varied weather conditions during the wheat-growing periods. Neither nitrogen nor manganese fertilisation differentiated the wheat grain yield. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of the weather conditions and nitrogen and manganese fertilisation on the grain yield, occurrence of Fusarium head blight and mycotoxin level in winter wheat grain.
2013-2016年,在波兰托马什科沃(北纬53°72′;东经20°42′)的研究与教育中心进行了冬小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)栽培的田间试验。150和200 kg ha−1的氮施肥以及0.5和1.5 kg ha−2的锰叶面施用是研究因素。镰刀菌对小麦的侵扰是由作物生长过程中的栖息地条件决定的。氮和锰施肥都不影响镰刀菌的存在。小麦穗上的症状,但虫害强度随着籽粒中氮和锰含量的增加而降低。只有脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)水平与镰刀菌感染有关。将氮肥施肥率从150 kg ha−1增加到200 kg ha−2会导致粮食受到更高的毒素污染。用锰补充氮肥可以减少小麦籽粒中真菌毒素的数量。小麦产量主要受小麦生长期不同天气条件的影响。施氮和施锰均不影响小麦产量。本研究的目的是研究天气条件和氮锰施肥对冬小麦产量、镰刀菌枯萎病发生和真菌毒素水平的影响。

A disease, known as citrus greening, is a major threat to the citrus industry. The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of rapid detection and improving the identification accuracy of citrus greening with visible and near-infrared spectra under spectral fusion. After we obtained the spectra of the collected citrus leaves and used the polymerase chain reaction for part of them, five types of samples were sorted out: slight, moderate, serious, nutrient deficiency, and normal. This study of spectral fusion was conducted on three levels as spectral data, characteristic, and model decision, and the identification capacity was tested using prediction samples. It was found that the effect of a least squares support vector machine model for feature-level fusion based on principal component analysis presented the best performance, while in the Lin_Kernel function; the accuracy was 100%, penalty coefficient γ was 0.09, and operation time was 0.66 s. It is better than the single spectral discriminant model. The results showed that the fusion of visible and near-infrared spectra was feasible for the nondestructive detection of citrus greening disease. This method is of great significance for the healthy development of the citrus industry, and provides important reference value for the application of spectral fusion in other fields.
