Introduction Effective communication is crucial for healthcare professionals, impacting patient care and interdisciplinary collaboration. However, medical education often lacks structured training in communication and presentation techniques. Herein, we evaluate the efficacy of structured workshops aimed at enhancing presentation skills among ear, nose, and throat (ENT) doctors through training in visual material design and concise verbal communication, including elevator pitches.

Numerous problems, including weathering, cracks, leaks, and bending, among others, appear in concrete after construction. The optimum procedure for treating concrete cracks is the subject of this study. The research goal is to find potential crack treatment materials and analyze the effect on the properties of concrete caused by the addition of bacterial solution to the concrete mix along with a particular method of preparation of bacterial solution.

Characterizing molten corium-concrete interaction (MCCI) fuel debris in Fukushima reactors is essential to develop efficient methods for its removal. To enhance the accuracy of microscopic observation and focused ion beam (FIB) microsampling of MCCI fuel debris, we developed a three-dimentional FIB scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique with a multiphase positional misalignment (MPPM) correction method. This system automatically aligns voxel positions, corrects contrast, and removes artifacts from a series of over 500 SEM images.

A method of bridge structure seismic response identification combining signal processing technology and deep learning technology is proposed. The short-time energy method is used to intelligently extract the non-smooth segments in the sensor acquired signals, and the short-time Fourier transform, continuous wavelet transform, and Meier frequency cestrum coefficients are used to analyze the spectrum of the non-smooth segments of the response of the bridge structure, and the response feature matrix is extracted and used to classify sequences or images in the LSTM network and the Resnet50 network. The results show that the signal processing techniques can effectively extract the structural response features and reduce the overfitting phenomenon of neural networks, and the combination of signal processing techniques and deep learning techniques can recognize the seismic response of bridge structures with high accuracy and efficiency.

The ruins of the Imperial City of the Minyue Kingdom were an important site of the Minyue Kingdom during the Han Dynasty. Characteristic bronze arrowheads unearthed from the East Gate, with their exquisite craftsmanship, provide important physical evidence for studying ancient bronze casting technology and the military activities of that time. However, there is still a lack of systematic research on the alloy composition, casting process, and chemical stability of these arrowheads in long-term burial environments.
