Abstract 1 Introduction
Nomex honeycomb is widely used in aerospace field due to its formability and impact resistance. Tandem honeycomb structure is favored for its excellent energy absorption and controllable deformation sequence [1]. Because impact damage is inevitable in the use of sandwich structures, it is necessary to analyze the impact mechanical response of such structures. The research objects include single honeycomb and two layers align honeycomb. First, the drop weight impact test was carried out to compare the mechanical response of double-layer aligned and staggered honeycomb with that of single honeycomb. Then finite element method was used to simulate the… More >

Abstract Many species generally choose highly organized movements to gain more performance advantages rather than alone in the animal world, such as V-formation and line formation in birds. Understanding the aerodynamic characteristics and flow variation of multi-flapping wings in formation flight could be applied to the formation design of new bionic flapping-wing aircraft. In this paper, the effects of unequal individual spacing on the aerodynamic performance and flow mechanism of three-dimensional three-flapping wings flying in tandem formation are investigated numerically at a low Reynolds number. The simulations include small and large spacings, as well as cases with equal and unequal spacings… More >

Abstract L’hypnose est une technique ayant une longue histoire d’utilisation dans des cadres médicaux et psychothérapeutiques. Au cours de la dernière décennie, de nombreuses recherches ont indiqué l’efficacité de l’hypnose pour divers maux physiologiques et psychologiques, notamment la douleur, la détresse et les troubles psychosomatiques. Cependant, l’adoption et l’acceptation de l’hypnose sont encore entravées par les mythes et les fausses idées qui persistent parmi le grand public et les cliniciens. Compte tenu du rôle important des cliniciens dans l’administration et l’acceptation des traitements médicaux et psychothérapeutiques, les cliniciens doivent être informés sur l’hypnose pour améliorer leurs points de vue et promouvoir… More >

Abstract When the geological environment of rock masses is disturbed, numerous non-persisting open joints can appear within it. It is crucial to investigate the effect of open joints on the mechanical properties of rock mass. However, it has been challenging to generate realistic open joints in traditional experimental tests and numerical simulations. This paper presents a novel solution to solve the problem. By utilizing the stochastic distribution of joints and an enhanced-fractal interpolation system (IFS) method, rough curves with any orientation can be generated. The Douglas-Peucker algorithm is then applied to simplify these curves by removing unnecessary points while preserving their… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract L’analyse et la quantification des caractéristiques hydro-morphométriques sont essentielles pour une meilleure gestion des ressources en eau et une planification plus efficace des projets hydroélectriques dans le bassin de la Tshopo. Malheureusement, peu d’études ont été réalisées pour évaluer ces caractéristiques à l’échelle de ce bassin. Notre approche méthodologique consiste à utiliser les outils d’analyse des logiciels Système d’Information Géographique (SIG) appliqués au Modèle Numérique de Terrain (MNT) dérivé de l’image Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) World 3D-30m. Cela nous a permis d’extraire automatiquement le réseau hydrographique et de générer les sous-bassins versants de la Tshopo. Les résultats de cette… More >

Abstract Automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems have emerged as indispensable tools across a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from transcription services to voice-activated assistants. To enhance the performance of these systems, it is important to deploy efficient models capable of adapting to diverse deployment conditions. In recent years, on-demand pruning methods have obtained significant attention within the ASR domain due to their adaptability in various deployment scenarios. However, these methods often confront substantial trade-offs, particularly in terms of unstable accuracy when reducing the model size. To address challenges, this study introduces two crucial empirical findings. Firstly, it proposes the incorporation of… More >

Abstract Syneilesis aconitifolia is a potential ground cover and decorative material in gardens, which exhibits a strong salt-alkali tolerance, and also has medicinal value. In this study, the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi community in the soil surrounding S. aconitifolia roots in the Songnen saline-alkali grassland was used as the inoculation medium for a pot cultivation experiment. After normal culture for 90 days, NaCl and NaHCO₃ solutions were applied to subject plants to salt or alkali stress. Solution concentrations of 50, 100, and 200 mmol/L were applied for 10 days, and mycorrhizal colonization, biomass, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll concentration, malondialdehyde (MDA)… More >

Abstract Les paramètres hydro-morphométriques les plus caractéristiques qui contrôlent l’écoulement des eaux du bassin versant de la Tshopo n’ont pas encore été déterminés. L’analyse de corrélation, la régression linéaire multiple et la classification ascendante hiérarchique ont été appliquées à l’ensemble des données afin d’identifier les variables les plus caractéristiques qui influencent considérablement la vitesse d’écoulement des eaux et regrouper les sous-bassins versants semblables physiquement. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence l’importance de la topographie sur l’écoulement des eaux. Trois variables topographiques, à savoir l’altitude médiane (H50), le dénivelé global (Dg) et le dénivelé spécifique (Ds), ont une influence significative (p-value ≤… More >

Abstract Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) is widely used in human reliability analysis (HRA). It defines nine common performance conditions (CPCs), which represent the factors that may affect human reliability and are used to modify the cognitive failure probability (CFP). However, the levels of CPCs are usually determined by domain experts, which may be subjective and uncertain. What’s more, the classic CREAM assumes that the CPCs are independent, which is unrealistic. Ignoring the dependence among CPCs will result in repeated calculations of the influence of the CPCs on CFP and lead to unreasonable reliability evaluation. To address the issue… More > Graphic Abstract
