Aircraft sensors are crucial for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of aircraft. However, these sensors are vulnerable to external factors that can lead to malfunctions, making fault diagnosis essential. Traditional deep learning-based fault diagnosis methods often face challenges, such as limited data representation and insufficient feature extraction.

Fault diagnosis plays a crucial role in maintaining the operational safety of mechanical systems. As intelligent data-driven approaches evolve, deep learning (DL) has emerged as a pivotal technique in fault diagnosis research. However, the collected vibrational signals from mechanical systems are usually corrupted by unrelated noises due to complicated transfer path modulations and component coupling.

Topology optimization techniques are essential for manufacturing industries, such as designing fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) and structures with outstanding strength-to-weight ratios and light weights. In the SIMP approach, artificial intelligence algorithms are commonly utilized to enhance traditional FEM-based compliance minimization procedures. Based on an effective generalized regression neural network (GRNN), a new deep learning algorithm of compliance prediction for structural topology optimization is proposed.

Gait, as a fundamental human movement, necessitates the coordination of muscles across swing and stance phases. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the tibialis anterior (TA) has been widely applied to foot drop correction for patients with post-stroke during the swing phase. Although the gastrocnemius (GAS) during the stance phase is also affected, the Functional electrical stimulation of the gastrocnemius received less attention.

While China has been experiencing unprecedented economic growth, depression is becoming one of the most striking social and mental health problems in recent years. Such a paradox to progress may partially be due to the notoriously poor air quality of the country. To verify this argument, we constructed an index of the prevalence of depression (IPD) using internet search query volumes in Baidu to proxy the potential depression and examined how IPD is associated with PM, the major air pollutant in China.

Large-scale influxes of international immigrants into England have stimulated heated debate about whether the increasing ethnic diversity has undermined local residents' life satisfaction and wellbeing. In this paper, we provide the first nationally representative evidence on the relationship between international immigration and local residents' life satisfaction in England. We used multilevel linear regression models to analyze nationally representative data (2011-2012) from 23,143 respondents and neighborhood level data from the 2011 Census.

Depression, regulated by central nervous system (CNS), is a significant inflammatory disorder. Neuroligin3 (NLGN3) has been implicated in brain functions. In the study, a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model in wild type (WT) or NLGN3-knockout (KO) mice was established to explore the role of NLGN3 in regulating depression and to reveal the underlying molecular mechanism.

Cerebrovascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration contribute to hyperplasia in case of cerebrovascular remodeling and stroke. In the present study, we investigated the effects of acetylshikonin, the main ingredient of a Chinese traditional medicine Zicao, on human brain vascular smooth muscle cell (HBVSMCs) proliferation and migration induced by angiotensin II (AngII), and the underlying mechanisms. We found that acetylshikonin treatment significantly inhibited AngII-induced HBVSMCs proliferation and cell cycle transition from G1 to S phase.
