Field study on vibration characteristics of geocell-reinforced aeolian sand subgrades.

Constructing highways in deserts is expensive due to the difficulty of acquiring materials; utilizing aeolian sand effectively has become a problem, especially in the Xinjiang region, where the desert widely occurs. This paper aims to investigate the vibration response of a geocell-reinforced aeolian sand subgrade under traffic loading based on field tests of highways in deserts. The vibration acceleration response of geocell-reinforced aeolian sand and gravelly soil upper roadbed structures is tested.

An integrated analysis of bulk and single-cell sequencing data reveals that EMP1/COL3A1 fibroblasts contribute to the bone metastasis process in breast, prostate, and renal cancers.

Introduction: Bone metastasis (BoM) occurs when cancer cells spread from their primary sites to a bone. Currently, the mechanism underlying this metastasis process remains unclear.

Methods: In this project, through an integrated analysis of bulk-sequencing and single-cell RNA transcriptomic data, we explored the BoM-related features in tumor microenvironments of different tumors.

Identification of novel prognostic biomarkers for osteosarcoma: a bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes in the mesenchymal stem cells from single-cell sequencing data set.

Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a crucial role in osteosarcoma (OS) growth and progression. This study conducted a bioinformatics analysis of a single-cell ribonucleic acid sequencing data set and explored the MSC-specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in advanced OS.

Methods: MSC-specific DEGs from GSE152048 was extracted using Seurat R package.

Hybrid imaging with extended depth of field based on binocular ranging.

We present a new method to reduce the image artifacts in defocused hybrid imaging systems with a cubic phase mask. Image artifacts are caused by a mismatch of phase during decoding. A new definition of the Strehl ratio is proposed, and the defocus tolerance of the high-quality decoded image is calculated using this standard.

Increasing aperture and depth of field simultaneously with wavefront coding technology.

We present a method that simultaneously increases the aperture and depth of field (DOF). A novel, to the best of our knowledge, method called lens-combined wavefront coding (WFC) is proposed for optical design. By rationally balancing rather than minimizing the aberrations, the DOF enhances instead of reduces with expansion of the aperture size.

Rotating asymmetrical phase mask method for improving signal-to-noise ratio in wavefront coding systems.

We present a method that combines an asymmetrical phase mask (PM) and its rotated PM to potentially improve the signal-to-noise ratio in wavefront coding systems. The property of the rotated PM is analyzed. A complementary promotional synthetic optical transfer function is generated as the deconvolution filter for image recovery.
