Published: July 2022

Thermoset polymer composites have increased in use across multiple industries, with recent applications consisting of high-complexity and large-scale parts. As applications expand, the emphasis on accurate process-monitoring techniques has increased, with a variety of in situ cure-monitoring sensors being investigated by various research teams. To date, a wide range of data analysis techniques have been used to correlate data collected from thermocouple, dielectric, ultrasonic, and fibre-optic sensors to information on the material cure state. The methods used in existing publications have not been explicitly differentiated between, nor have they been directly compared. This paper provides a critical review of the different data collection and cure state correlation methods for these sensor types. The review includes details of the relevant sensor configurations and governing equations, material combinations, data verification techniques, identified potential research gaps, and areas of improvement. A wide range of both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods are discussed for each sensing technology. Critical analysis is provided on the capability and limitations of these methods to directly identify cure state information for the materials under investigation. This paper aims to provide the reader with sufficient background on available analysis techniques to assist in selecting the most appropriate method for the application.

An automatic cervical cell classification model based on improved DenseNet121.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Biomedical Engineering, School of Life Science and Technology, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun, 130022, China.

The cervical cell classification technique can determine the degree of cellular abnormality and pathological condition, which can help doctors to detect the risk of cervical cancer at an early stage and improve the cure and survival rates of cervical cancer patients. Addressing the issue of low accuracy in cervical cell classification, a deep convolutional neural network A2SDNet121 is proposed. A2SDNet121 takes DenseNet121 as the backbone network.

Background: In neuroscience, Ca imaging is a prevalent technique used to infer neuronal electrical activity, often relying on optical signals recorded at low sampling rates (3 to 30 Hz) across multiple neurons simultaneously. This study investigated whether increasing the sampling rate preserves critical information that may be missed at slower acquisition speeds.

Methods: Primary neuronal cultures were prepared from the cortex of newborn pups.

An innovative modeling approach for the simulative description of the part quality of rubber materials, including the processing history, is presented in this paper. This modeling approach, the so-called average curing speed (ACS) model, is based on the degree of cure and the average curing speed instead of the conventionally considered temperature approach. Such approach neglects the processing history by calculating only the degree of cure.

To evaluate the real-world evidence of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) compared to intravenous colistin for the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. This is a multicenter, retrospective cohort study conducted in the period between 2017 and 2023 at five institutions for patients who received either CAZ-AVI or colistin-based regimens for treating MDR infections. Outcomes were compared using multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) proviral reservoirs are cells that harbor integrated HIV proviral DNA within their nuclear genomes. These cells form a heterogeneous group, represented by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), tissue-resident lymphoid and monocytic cells, and glial cells of the central nervous system. The importance of studying the properties of proviral reservoirs is connected with the inaccessibility of integrated HIV proviral DNA for modern anti-retroviral therapies (ARTs) that block virus reproduction.
