    Impact of the Railway Vehicle Characteristics in Its Runnability in the Presence of Strong Winds

    Pedro Montenegro1,*, Raphael Heleno2, Hermes Carvalho2, Diogo Ribeiro3, Rui Calçada1, Chris Baker4

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 1-2, 2022, DOI:10.32604/icces.2022.08678

    Abstract This work consists of evaluating the impact of the most relevant characteristics of railway vehicles, namely geometric, mechanical and aerodynamic properties, in their runnability in the presence of strong winds, more precisely in the risk of derailment. Such objective is achieved by performing several dynamic with a non-linear vehicle-structure interaction model developed by the authors [1,2] and used in other works in this field [3,4], which allows the evaluation of the wheel-rail contact forces and, consequently, the unloading index, as suggested by the European Norm EN 14067-6 [5]. The calculations are carried out for several scenarios characterized by different train… More >

    DDG1 and G Protein α Subunit RGA1 Interaction Regulates Plant Height and Senescence in Rice (Oryza sativa)

    Xi Liu1,2,#,*, Chuxuan Zhao2,#, Di Wang3,#, Gen Pan4, Xiaonan Ji2, Su Gao2, Tanxiao Du2, Yating Feng2, Wenjing Chen2

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.7, pp. 2051-2064, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.028196

    Abstract Many studies have already shown that dwarfism and moderate delayed leaf senescence positively impact rice yield, but the underlying molecular mechanism of dwarfism and leaf senescence remains largely unknown. Here, using map-based cloning, we identified an allele of DEP2, DDG1, which controls plant height and leaf senescence in rice. The ddg1 mutant displayed dwarfism, short panicles, and delayed leaf senescence. Compared with the wild-type, ddg1 was insensitive to exogenous gibberellins (GA) and brassinolide (BR). DDG1 is expressed in various organs, especially in stems and panicles. Yeast two-hybrid assay, bimolecular fluorescent complementation and luciferase complementation image assay showed that DDG1 interacts… More >

    Protein-mediated interactions in the dynamic regulation of acute inflammation

    RYAN STARK*

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.6, pp. 1191-1198, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.027838

    Abstract Protein-mediated interactions are the fundamental mechanism through which cells regulate health and disease. These interactions require physical contact between proteins and their respective targets of interest. These targets include not only other proteins but also nucleic acids and other important molecules as well. These proteins are often involved in multibody complexes that work dynamically to regulate cellular health and function. Various techniques have been adapted to study these important interactions, such as affinity-based assays, mass spectrometry, and fluorescent detection. The application of these techniques has led to a greater understanding of how protein interactions are responsible for both the instigation… More >

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.1, pp. 777-797, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.037354

    Abstract This study aims to reduce the interference of ambient noise in mobile communication, improve the accuracy and authenticity of information transmitted by sound, and guarantee the accuracy of voice information delivered by mobile communication. First, the principles and techniques of speech enhancement are analyzed, and a fast lateral recursive least square method (FLRLS method) is adopted to process sound data. Then, the convolutional neural networks (CNNs)-based noise recognition CNN (NR-CNN) algorithm and speech enhancement model are proposed. Finally, related experiments are designed to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm and model. The experimental results show that the noise classification… More >

    Hasan Han1, Oguzcan Karadeniz1, Tugba Dalyan2,*, Elena Battini Sonmez2, Baykal Sarioglu1

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.37, No.1, pp. 1209-1224, 2023, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2023.030674

    Abstract Robot companions will soon be part of our everyday life and students in the engineering faculty must be trained to design, build, and interact with them. The two affordable robots presented in this paper have been designed and constructed by two undergraduate students; one artificial agent is based on the Nvidia Jetson Nano development board and the other one on a remote computer system. Moreover, the robots have been refined with an empathetic system, to make them more user-friendly. Since automatic facial expression recognition skills is a necessary pre-processing step for acknowledging emotions, this paper tested different variations of Convolutional… More >

    TRANSVERSAL FLOW AND HEAT TRANSFER OF TWO CYLINDERS WITH A FLAPPING REED BETWEEN THEM

    Zhiyun Wang*, Ziqing Wang, Mo Yang

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.17, No.1, pp. 1-7, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.17.10

    Abstract This paper presents a two-dimensional fluid-structure interaction numerical simulation of fluid flow over two horizontal heat exchange cylinders affected by a flapping reed in a domain. The reed is a thin flexible sheet made of elastic material with one end fixed on the trailing edge of the upstream cylinder. The effects of the reed length and the cylinder spacing on the periodic oscillations of the reed, the flow field and the heat transfer of the downstream cylinder. The results show that the oscillation of the reed in this paper is a single-period oscillate model. Compared to the case of cylinder… More >

    NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE EFFECT OF TURBULENCE IN THE THERMAL-RADIATION FLOW FIELD

    O. M. Oyewolaa,b,*, O. S. Ismailb, J. O. Bosomob

    Frontiers in Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol.17, No.1, pp. 1-5, 2021, DOI:10.5098/hmt.17.8

    Abstract This paper investigates possible inherent modifications of the radiative heat source term due to the influence of turbulence in the thermal radiation field of a gas turbine combustor flame. Adapting a flame temperature of 2000[K], COMSOL Multiphysics software was utilized to numerically simulate the process, assuming a gray gas participating medium with absorption coefficient of 0.03[m-1]. The analysis of the results for five (5) different radial cut sections of the simulated combustor chamber shows that turbulence-radiation interactions cause radiative heat losses from the flame, with the divergence of the radiative heat flux having a deviation factor of 3.48, and a… More >

    Dynamic Behavior of a Historic Metallic Bridge under Metro Vehicles Based on Advanced Interaction Models

    D. Ribeiro1,*, B. Costa2, P. Montenegro2, R. Calçada2

    The International Conference on Computational & Experimental Engineering and Sciences, Vol.24, No.1, pp. 1-1, 2022, DOI:10.32604/icces.2022.08682

    Abstract The present article focuses on the evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of a centenary steel arch bridge, located in Portugal, under light railway traffic loads. The work aims to assess the dynamic behaviour of the bridge subjected to an alternative type of railway vehicle, more specifically, a typical underground vehicle that is currently in service in the Lisbon Metro. The dynamic response of the system has been evaluated using two distinct methodologies, namely a moving loads model and a vehicle-bridge interaction model. To achieve this goal, finite element (FE) models from both the bridge and the vehicle have been developed… More >

    Image Emotion Classification Network Based on Multilayer Attentional Interaction, Adaptive Feature Aggregation

    Xiaorui Zhang1,2,3,*, Chunlin Yuan1, Wei Sun3,4, Sunil Kumar Jha5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.75, No.2, pp. 4273-4291, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.036975

    Abstract The image emotion classification task aims to use the model to automatically predict the emotional response of people when they see the image. Studies have shown that certain local regions are more likely to inspire an emotional response than the whole image. However, existing methods perform poorly in predicting the details of emotional regions and are prone to overfitting during training due to the small size of the dataset. Therefore, this study proposes an image emotion classification network based on multilayer attentional interaction and adaptive feature aggregation. To perform more accurate emotional region prediction, this study designs a multilayer attentional… More >
