Analysis of Field of View for a Moon-Based Earth Observation Multispectral Camera.

A Moon-based Earth observation multispectral camera provides a unique perspective for observing large-scale Earth phenomena. This study focuses on the analysis of the field of view (FOV) for such a sensor. Unlike space-borne sensors, the analysis of the FOV for a Moon-based sensor takes into account not only Earth's maximum apparent diameter as seen from the lunar surface but also the Earth's and the solar trajectory in the lunar sky, as well as the pointing accuracy and pointing adjustment temporal intervals of the turntable.

Prediction of the Remaining Useful Life of Bearings Through CNN-Bi-LSTM-Based Domain Adaptation Model.

Predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of mechanical bearings is crucial in the industry.

The specific roles of GeBP TFs in plants remain largely unexplored, although GeBP transcription factors play important roles in plants.

Assessing the long-term care (LTC) service needs of older adults based on time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC)-a cross-sectional survey in central China.

Background: The global population's aging has led to an increasing demand for long-term care (LTC), especially in developing countries like China. Comprehensive assessment of LTC service demands by including the time and cost analysis is crucial to inform the planning and financing of LTC resources, yet such research is lacking in China. Our research team has developed a quantitative index system of the medical and nursing services needs of older adults (QISMNSNE) based on the framework of Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC), providing a valuable tool for measuring LTC service needs.

SIPSC-Kac: Integrating swarm intelligence and protein spatial characteristics for enhanced lysine acetylation site identification.

Elucidation of post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as lysine acetylation (Kac), is crucial for understanding protein function and regulation. Although traditional experimental methods for identifying Kac sites are accurate, they are time-consuming and costly, leading to incomplete acetylome mapping. Computational approaches, particularly those incorporating machine learning, offer a rapid alternative, but face challenges owing to dataset imbalance, limited feature space, and the need for more effective feature-selection algorithms.

Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment for pain management for veterans separating from military service: study protocol of a hybrid type 2 study testing implementation facilitation versus training-as-usual.

Background: Veterans transitioning to civilian life often have chronic pain from service-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) with higher risk for substance misuse. Many seek VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) compensation for MSD. Use of Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Pain Management (SBIRT-PM) by VA Post-9/11 Military2VA (M2VA) case managers presents an opportunity to engage these veterans in VA pain care and address substance misuse.

Optimization of Thermoelectric Performance of AgTe Films via a Co-Sputtering Method.

Providing self-powered energy for wearable electronic devices is currently an important research direction in the field of thermoelectric (TE) thin films. In this study, a simple dual-source magnetron sputtering method was used to prepare AgTe thin films, which exhibit good TE properties at room temperature, and the growth temperature and subsequent annealing process were optimized to obtain high-quality films. The experimental results show that films grown at a substrate temperature of 280 °C exhibit a high power factor (PF) of ~3.

CT image segmentation of foxtail millet seeds based on semantic segmentation model VGG16-UNet.

Foxtail millet is an important minor cereal crop rich in nutrients. Due to the small size of its seeds, there is little information on the diversity of its seed structure among germplasms, limiting the identification of genes controlling seed development and germination. This paper utilized X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning technology and deep learning models to reveal the microstructure of foxtail millet seeds, gaining insights into their internal features, distribution, and composition.
