An End-to-End Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) Solution for Protecting Pipeline Easements against External Interference-An Australian Use-Case.

High-pressure pipelines are critical for transporting hazardous materials over long distances, but they face threats from third-party interference activities. Preventive measures are implemented, but interference accidents can still occur, making the need for high-quality detection strategies vital. This paper proposes an end-to-end Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) solution to detect potential interference threats in real time.

The Role of Hydrogen on the Behavior of Intergranular Cracks in Bicrystalline α-Fe Nanowires.

Hydrogen embrittlement (HE) has been extensively studied in bulk materials. However, little is known about the role of H on the plastic deformation and fracture mechanisms of nanoscale materials such as nanowires. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the influence of H segregation on the behavior of intergranular cracks in bicrystalline α-Fe nanowires.

Early sonographic manifestation of fetal congenital lobar emphysema.

Advanced fetal sonographic equipment has contributed to the increase in prenatal diagnosis of congenital thoracic malformations. Among these anomalies is congenital lobar emphysema (CLE), a rare congenital anomaly characterized by over distention and overexpansion of the involved fetal pulmonary lobe. Several studies addressed the prenatal diagnosis of CLE in mid second or early third trimester.

Optimisation of dispersion parameters of Gaussian plume model for CO₂ dispersion.

The carbon capture and storage (CCS) and enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects entail the possibility of accidental release of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. To quantify the spread of CO2 following such release, the 'Gaussian' dispersion model is often used to estimate the resulting CO2 concentration levels in the surroundings. The Gaussian model enables quick estimates of the concentration levels.

Experiment and molecular dynamics simulation of nanoindentation of body centered cubic iron.

Experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been conducted to investigate the nanoindentation behaviours of iron with body centered cubic (BCC) structure. The experiments show that the indentation hardness decreases with the indentation depth and it changes sharply for a small depth. Two cases with different crystallographic orientations have been simulated.

System modelling of a lateral force microscope.

To quantitatively analyse lateral force microscope measurements one needs to develop a model able to relate the photodiode signal to the force acting on the tip apex. In this paper we focus on the modelling of the interaction between the cantilever and the optical chain. The laser beam is discretized by a set of rays which propagates in the system.

Targeted myocardial microinjections of a biocomposite material reduces infarct expansion in pigs.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) commonly causes infarct expansion (IE). This study sought to interrupt IE through microinjections of a biocompatible composite material into the post-MI myocardium.

Methods: MI was created in 21 pigs (coronary ligation).

On representation of metabolic pathways.

Problems involved in representation of metabolism are dealt with. The specific characteristics of the various ways (verbal, graphical and by electronic means), their advantages and limitations are discussed. New developments in research pose challenges for adequate and clear demonstration of results.

Enzymic determination of branched-chain amino acids.

Transamination of branched-chain amino acids to (alpha-oxoglutarate, catalyzed by leucine aminotransferase coupled to the glutamate dehydrogenase reaction, is used in an enzymic assay for determination of branched-chain amino acids in serum and tissue homogenates. The coefficients of variation of the method within-day and day-to-day are 2.4 and 6.
