Abstract In this paper, an advanced satellite navigation filter design, referred to as the Variational Bayesian Maximum Correntropy Extended Kalman Filter (VBMCEKF), is introduced to enhance robustness and adaptability in scenarios with non-Gaussian noise and heavy-tailed outliers. The proposed design modifies the extended Kalman filter (EKF) for the global navigation satellite system (GNSS), integrating the maximum correntropy criterion (MCC) and the variational Bayesian (VB) method. This adaptive algorithm effectively reduces non-line-of-sight (NLOS) reception contamination and improves estimation accuracy, particularly in time-varying GNSS measurements. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms conventional approaches in estimation More >

Abstract In response to the problem of traditional methods ignoring audio modality tampering, this study aims to explore an effective deep forgery video detection technique that improves detection precision and reliability by fusing lip images and audio signals. The main method used is lip-audio matching detection technology based on the Siamese neural network, combined with MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient) feature extraction of band-pass filters, an improved dual-branch Siamese network structure, and a two-stream network structure design. Firstly, the video stream is preprocessed to extract lip images, and the audio stream is preprocessed to extract MFCC… More >

Abstract As the development of new power systems accelerates and the impacts of high renewable energy integration and extreme weather intensify, grid-alternative energy storage is garnering increasing attention for its grid-interaction benefits and clear business models. Consequently, assessing the value of grid-alternative energy storage in the system transition has become critically important. Considering the performance characteristics of storage, we propose a value assessment frame-work for grid-alternative energy storage, quantifying its non-wires-alternative effects from both cost and benefit perspectives. Building on this, we developed a collaborative planning model for energy storage and transmission grids, aimed at maximizing… More >

Abstract Terrain Aided Navigation (TAN) technology has become increasingly important due to its effectiveness in environments where Global Positioning System (GPS) is unavailable. In recent years, TAN systems have been extensively researched for both aerial and underwater navigation applications. However, many TAN systems that rely on recursive Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) position estimation methods, such as Extended Kalman Filters (EKF), often face challenges with divergence and instability, particularly in highly non-linear systems. To address these issues, this paper proposes and investigates a hybrid two-stage TAN positioning system for UAVs that utilizes Particle Filter. To enhance the… More >

Abstract Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects about 1% of live births. Among them, about 20% will undergo one or more surgical or percutaneous maneuvers on the right ventricle outflow tract or pulmonary valve. Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation is a recently available less invasive alternative to surgery for treatment of right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction. Thus, residual dysfunction can be treated early and with a lower risk profile. This narrative review aimed to describe the state of the art of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. More >

Abstract Objectifs: L’arrivé du cancer chez les adolescents et les jeunes adultes (âgés de 15 à 24 ans) - adolescents et jeunes adultes (AJA) - correspond à une période fragile pendant laquelle le devenir adulte du jeune et l’évolution des liens familiaux mobilisent la famille dans son ensemble. Dès lors, le cancer, au-delà de sa dimension individuelle traumatique, touche toute la famille, pouvant modifier les liens familiaux et le fonctionnement familial. Notre objectif est d’évaluer le fonctionnement familial à partir du modèle circomplexe évaluant la cohésion et l’adaptabilité, quand un adolescent ou jeune adulte est atteint… More >

Abstract Postharvest losses remain a significant challenge, particularly in developing countries that have inadequate infrastructure. Medicinal plants offer an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for managing diseases and pests in agricultural systems. These plants are rich in bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, and essential oils, many of which have proven antimicrobial, antifungal, insecticidal, and antioxidant properties. These characteristics make medicinal plants viable candidates for postharvest disease and pest control. Among these, Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) is particularly notable for its bioactive compounds with strong antifungal properties. Their potential applications include agriculture, food preservation, and medicine.… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The dynamic behaviour of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo additively manufactured by electron beam melting (EBM) is presented in this study considering synchronised tension-torsion loading. A bespoke spilt Hopkinson Tension-Torsion bar is used to generate combined tensile and torsional stress pulses that interact simultaneously with a novel specimen geometry. High-speed digital imaging correlation techniques are employed to assess the high-rate deformation and crack propagation of the specimen. The material's dynamic response was analysed across a spectrum of stress states, including uniaxial tension, shear, and combinations of tension and shear at strain rates ranging between 500 s^-1 and 2000 s^-1.

Abstract Quantitative trading is a strategy that relies on mathematical and statistical models to identify market trading opportunities. Trading strategies can be categorized into trend following and contrarian trading. Way of the Turtle is one of the famous trend following strategies. This study proposes a customized trend following trading mechanism based on Way of the Turtle. The focus of the strategy is to capture major trends over a few significant market moves, so it can be seen that the importance of the entry signals to the trend-following strategy. Therefore, this study applies Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)… More >

Abstract Over the last decade, the oriented strand board (OSB) market presented meaningful growth. However, as a wood-based product, because of its anatomical structure and chemical composition, OSB can be damaged by biodeterioration agents. Given that, the biodeterioration of OSB panels must be investigated to improve its durability. In this way, this work analyses the biological resistance against termites (Cryptotermes brevis and Nasutitermes corniger) of heat-treated OSB panels made with Eucalyptus wood glued with vegetable-based polyurethane-an eco-friendly and sustainable adhesive derived from castor oil. Various panels were produced with different layers compositions (face:core:face of 25:50:25 and 30:40:30) in wood… More > Graphic Abstract
