Persistent anti-inflammatory responses are critical for the prevention of peritendinous adhesion. Although modified anti-adhesion barriers have been studied extensively, the immune response induced by the implants and the unclear mechanism limits their application. In this research, the advantage of the multi-functionalities of CA (caffeic acid) is taken to synthesize biodegradable poly (ester urethane) urea elastomers with ester- and carbamate-bonded CA (PEUU-CA).

With the development of transportation technology, the improvement of transportation efficiency also increases the complexity and diversity of traffic safety risks; the public's concern for traffic safety risks is increasing, and the traditional regulatory model is difficult to meet the improvement of the effectiveness of the safety regulation of the huge transportation network and the public's changing safety needs. In order to enhance the effectiveness of safety regulation, a game model of safety risk regulation among the public, transport enterprises, and regulators is constructed to simulate the effects of different traffic risks, penalty levels, and exposure rates on the behavior of transport enterprises and regulators. The results of the study show that: traffic risk has a positive facilitating effect on the participation of transport enterprises and the public in the regulation of safety risks, which will accelerate the process of stabilization of their strategies; transport enterprises have a high sensitivity to changes in the level of punishment, and only when the level of punishment exceeds a certain threshold will they be able to promote the choice of complying with the transport; and a higher exposure will lead to a greater tendency for transport enterprises to choose complying with the transport.

Developing selective kinase inhibitors remains a formidable challenge in drug discovery because of the highly conserved structural information on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) binding sites across the kinase family. Tailoring docking protocols to identify promising kinase inhibitor candidates for optimization has long been a substantial obstacle to drug discovery. Therefore, we introduced "Kinase-Bench," a pioneering benchmark suite designed for an advanced virtual screen, to improve the selectivity and efficacy of kinase inhibitors.

DV-DETR: Improved UAV Aerial Small Target Detection Algorithm Based on RT-DETR.

Sensors (Basel)

November 2024

School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Shanghai University of Engineering Science, Shanghai 201620, China.

For drone-based detection tasks, accurately identifying small-scale targets like people, bicycles, and pedestrians remains a key challenge. In this paper, we propose DV-DETR, an improved detection model based on the Real-Time Detection Transformer (RT-DETR), specifically optimized for small target detection in high-density scenes. To achieve this, we introduce three main enhancements: (1) ResNet18 as the backbone network to improve feature extraction and reduce model complexity; (2) the integration of recalibration attention units and deformable attention mechanisms in the neck network to enhance multi-scale feature fusion and improve localization accuracy; and (3) the use of the Focaler-IoU loss function to better handle the imbalanced distribution of target scales and focus on challenging samples.
