In cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) of biological samples, the quality of tomographic reconstructions can vary depending on the transmission electron microscope (TEM) instrument and data acquisition parameters. In this paper, we present Parakeet, a 'digital twin' software pipeline for the assessment of the impact of various TEM experiment parameters on the quality of three-dimensional tomographic reconstructions. The Parakeet digital twin is a digital model that can be used to optimize the performance and utilization of a physical instrument to enable optimization of sample geometries, data acquisition schemes and instrument parameters. The digital twin performs virtual sample generation, TEM image simulation, and tilt series reconstruction and analysis within a convenient software framework. As well as being able to produce physically realistic simulated cryo-ET datasets to aid the development of tomographic reconstruction and subtomogram averaging programs, Parakeet aims to enable convenient assessment of the effects of different microscope parameters and data acquisition parameters on reconstruction quality. To illustrate the use of the software, we present the example of a quantitative analysis of missing wedge artefacts on simulated planar and cylindrical biological samples and discuss how data collection parameters can be modified for cylindrical samples where a full 180° tilt range might be measured.

Traditional hydraulic structures rely on manual visual inspection for apparent integrity, which is not only time-consuming and labour-intensive but also inefficient. The efficacy of deep learning models is frequently constrained by the size of available data, resulting in limited scalability and flexibility. Furthermore, the paucity of data diversity leads to a singular function of the model that cannot provide comprehensive decision support for improving maintenance measures.

The rapid development of urbanization has led to a continuous rise in number of elevators. This has led to elevator failures from time to time. At present, although there are some studies on elevator fault diagnosis, they are more or less limited by the lack of data to make the research more superficial.

The conventional widely-used health monitoring methods for rotating machines have shortcomings such as the reliance on the selection of the preset parameters. Also, the strong noise interference caused by factors such as transmission path hinders the practical application of many fault feature extraction methods. To overcome these gaps, the digital twin notion is introduced and a new digital twin architecture called the Ramanujan Digital Twin (RDT) is designed.

In 1924, the Dutch physiologist Willem Einthoven received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of the mechanism of the electrocardiogram (ECG). Anno 2024, the ECG is commonly used as a diagnostic tool in cardiology. In the paper 'Le Télécardiogramme', Einthoven described the first recording of the now most common cardiac arrhythmia: atrial fibrillation (AF).
