The Establishment of a precise intelligent evaluation system for sports events: Diving.

The introduction of action quality assessment technology in sports events to achieve precise intelligent evaluation can greatly enhance the objectivity and effectiveness of competition results. Taking diving as the specific application background, this study proposes a novel Multi-granularity Extraction Approach for Temporal-spatial features in judge scoring prediction (MEAT) under the conditions of action quality assessment. On the one hand, it uses dual-modal inflated 3D ConvNet to extract the temporal and spatial features of each modal diving video at the video granularity parallelly and to merge them to form a global feature.

Free vibration and sound transmission properties of beetle elytron plate: structural parametric analysis.

Honeycomb plate (HP), which is a high-strength and lightweight structure, has good vibration characteristics, while beetle elytron plate (BEP) has better mechanical properties. To promote the engineering application of BEPs, the vibration and sound transmission characteristics of aluminium BEPs were investigated in this paper with HP as the comparison object. This paper investigated the effects of the number of trabeculae, the ratio of length and width, skin thickness, core height and core thickness on the first 4 frequencies using finite element method.

Analysis on Effects of Joint Spacing on the Performance of Jointed Plain Concrete Pavements Based on Long-Term Pavement Performance Database.

With the day-night temperature and moisture levels changing every day, expansion and shrinkage of concrete slabs is always occurring; therefore, joints provide extra room for concrete slab deformation. The joint spacing in jointed plain concrete pavement (JPCP) is continuously affecting long-term pavement behaviors. In this study, data from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program were analyzed, and the behaviors of JPCP with different joint spacings were compared to discover the joint spacing effects.

Utilization of silt, sludge, and industrial waste residues in building materials: A review.

To promote the effective utilization of sludge and slag produced in nature and from human activities, this paper summarizes the research progress in the field of building materials on the basis of expounding their classification and characteristics. (1) Sludge and slag include silt, sludge and industrial waste residues. These three materials are mainly composed of SiO, which can be used to produce building materials after treatment and can also be used as admixtures, including roadbed admixtures.

KCNIP3 silence promotes proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of papillary thyroid carcinoma through activating Wnt/β-catenin pathway.

Purpose: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the common endocrine malignancy. Kv channel interacting protein 3 (KCNIP3) has been investigated in a variety of diseases, but its role and underlying mechanism in PTC are not fully delineated. Based on this, this study mainly explored the possible mechanism of KCNIP3 in PTC.

TROP2 modulates the progression in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TROP2) is over expressed in various kinds of human cancers and plays important roles in the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. However, the expression and molecular mechanism of TROP2 in thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC) are unclear. The expressions of TROP2 in PTC and control tissue were detected by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry.

AAIT: A novel prognostic model for HIV-negative patients with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis New Scoring Model for Non-HIV Patients with CM.

Unlabelled: Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a common opportunistic infection in HIV-negative patients, with mortality rates as high as those in the HIV-negative population. This requires accurate initial clinical decision-making, warranting the development of a prognostic score. Two groups of patients were investigated separately to develop a novel prognostic model (AAIT) for HIV-negative patients with CM.

DLL4 restores damaged liver by enhancing hBMSC differentiation into cholangiocytes.

Background & Aims: Biliary injury is one of the main pathological mechanisms of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). Delta-like ligand 4 (DLL4)-mediated Notch activation contributes to reversing biliary injury; however, the specific role of DLL4 in biliary restoration is still unclear. This study aimed to determine whether human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) can differentiate into biliary epithelial cells (cholangiocytes) in vitro and in vivo and to clarify the role of DLL4 in restoring damaged liver by enhancing cholangiocyte differentiation.

Markers of immune activation: novel biomarkers to predict the early-warning indicator of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is an indolent tumor that is exploding with increasing thyroid nodules (TN). Environmental carcinogens, lifestyle changes increased the incidence of thyroid carcinoma. With the development of B-ultrasound imaging, more and more thyroid cancer has been found.
