    Abstract Over the last forty years, many methodologies have been initiated within the framework of the participatory approach, the objective of which is to encourage the involvement of citizens in the definition and implementation of projects and policies concerning them. The implementation of these participatory approaches in the field of interventional research in population health reveals several scientific, organizational, inter-individual, and ethical issues that must be discussed. Thus, we propose to present here the fruit of a collective reflection of the members of a research group, composed of patient-researchers and researchers in social psychology, on the implementation of the IMPAQT research… More >

    BIOCELL, Vol.47, No.9, pp. 2027-2035, 2023, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2023.029277

    Abstract Background: The lung is one of the primary target organs of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), as exposure to H2S can cause acute lung injury (ALI) and pulmonary edema. Dexamethasone (Dex) exerts a protective effect on ALI caused by exposure to toxic gases and is commonly used in the clinic; however, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, and the dose is unclear. Methods: In vivo experiments: divided C57BL6 mice into 6 groups at random, 12 in each group. The mice were exposed to H2S for 3 h and 5 or 50 mg/kg Dex pretreated before exposure, sacrificed 12 h later. The morphological changes… More >

    A Large-Scale Group Decision Making Model Based on Trust Relationship and Social Network Updating

    Rongrong Ren1,2, Luyang Su1,2, Xinyu Meng1,2, Jianfang Wang3, Meng Zhao1,2,4,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 429-458, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027310

    Abstract With the development of big data and social computing, large-scale group decision making (LGDM) is now merging with social networks. Using social network analysis (SNA), this study proposes an LGDM consensus model that considers the trust relationship among decision makers (DMs). In the process of consensus measurement: the social network is constructed according to the social relationship among DMs, and the Louvain method is introduced to classify social networks to form subgroups. In this study, the weights of each decision maker and each subgroup are computed by comprehensive network weights and trust weights. In the process of consensus improvement: A… More >

    Learning Discriminatory Information for Object Detection on Urine Sediment Image

    Sixian Chan1,2, Binghui Wu1, Guodao Zhang3, Yuan Yao4, Hongqiang Wang2,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 411-428, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.029485

    Abstract In clinical practice, the microscopic examination of urine sediment is considered an important in vitro examination with many broad applications. Measuring the amount of each type of urine sediment allows for screening, diagnosis and evaluation of kidney and urinary tract disease, providing insight into the specific type and severity. However, manual urine sediment examination is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and subjective. Traditional machine learning based object detection methods require hand-crafted features for localization and classification, which have poor generalization capabilities and are difficult to quickly and accurately detect the number of urine sediments. Deep learning based object detection methods have the potential… More > Graphic Abstract

    Yuling Dou1, Fengqin Yao1, Xiandong Wang1, Liang Qu2, Long Chen3, Zhiwei Xu4, Laihui Ding4, Leon Bevan Bullock1, Guoqiang Zhong1, Shengke Wang1,*

    CMES-Computer Modeling in Engineering & Sciences, Vol.138, No.1, pp. 1001-1014, 2024, DOI:10.32604/cmes.2023.027764

    Abstract UAV marine monitoring plays an essential role in marine environmental protection because of its flexibility and convenience, low cost and convenient maintenance. In marine environmental monitoring, the similarity between objects such as oil spill and sea surface, Spartina alterniflora and algae is high, and the effect of the general segmentation algorithm is poor, which brings new challenges to the segmentation of UAV marine images. Panoramic segmentation can do object detection and semantic segmentation at the same time, which can well solve the polymorphism problem of objects in UAV ocean images. Currently, there are few studies on UAV marine image recognition… More >

    Adventitious Root Regeneration: Molecular Basis and Influencing Factors

    Lulu Zhi, Xiangyang Hu*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.92, No.10, pp. 2825-2840, 2023, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2023.030912

    Abstract Plant regeneration is a self-repair of the plant body in response to adverse conditions or damaged structures, and root regeneration allows the plant body to better adapt to its environment by supplementing the roots’ structure. Previous research has shown that adventitious roots can be made to occur from scratch in two ways. Studies that simulate adventitious root regeneration through natural conditions allow the regeneration process to be broadly divided into three stages: the perception of early signals, the massive accumulation of auxin, and the transformation of cell fate. The strength of regeneration, in turn, is influenced by wounding, stress, hormones,… More >
