Region sampling NeRF-SLAM based on Kolmogorov-Arnold network
Currently, NeRF-based SLAM is rapidly developing in reconstructing and bitwise estimating indoor scenes. Compared with traditional SLAM, the advantage of the NeRF-based approach is that the error retu...
Research on government subsidy strategy of biomass power supply chain considering channel encroachment
To enhance the comprehensive utilization of biomass straw, governments may implement incentive policies for members of the biomass supply chain. This study examines the strategic interaction between g...
The association between myopia and health-related quality of life among Chinese children in primary and secondary school: A cross-sectional study
Background: Previous study on the relationship between myopia and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among children was only conducted within hospital setting, and this relationship in school envi...
Spatiotemporal dynamics and influencing factors of soil heterotrophic respiration in northeast China
Soil heterotrophic respiration (Rh) represents a primary pathway of carbon release from soil. Using meteorological data, DEM, soil organic carbon density, and other data, we simulated the Rh in Northe...

Eligibility and GDMT up-titration success in heart failure: A real-world assessment
Background Implementation of GDMT in HFrEF remains incomplete. Prescription manners may vary based on the development of adverse effects. An HFA position paper proposed patient profiling and individua...
Swim-Rep fusion net: A new backbone with Faster Recurrent Criss Cross Polarized Attention
Deep learning techniques are widely used in the field of medicine and image classification. In past studies, SwimTransformer and RepVGG are very efficient and classical deep learning models. Multi-sca...
Determinants of adverse childhood experiences and substance use among emerging adults in the context of sustainable development goals
Introduction Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are linked to an increased risk of developing substance use among emerging adults, which adversely affects achieving the Sustainable Development Goals...
Research on emotion recognition using sparse EEG channels and cross-subject modeling based on CNN-KAN-F2CA model
Emotion recognition plays a significant role in artificial intelligence and human-computer interaction. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, due to their ability to directly reflect brain activity, h...
Lightweight wavelet-CNN tea leaf disease detection
Tea diseases can significantly impact crop yield and quality, necessitating accurate and efficient recognition methods. This study presents WaveLiteNet, a lightweight model designed for tea disease re...
The social representations of Covid-19 among primary health care’ users in the Federal district, Brazil: A psychosocial approach

Numerical study on performance of a vertical axis wind rotor with S-shaped blades
Traditional Savonius wind rotor has simple structure and can operate in any wind direction. However, its aerodynamic efficiency is lower than other types. A novel S-shaped wind rotor with three blades...
Identifying potential biomarkers for early evaluating mechanical compression injuries to skeletal muscle through proteomic analysis: A rat model
The skeletal muscle is highly susceptible to injury in daily life. Severe skeletal muscle injuries often result in incomplete regeneration, leading to functional impairment. In clinical practice, unde...
