Transverse fracture often occurs early in the loading history and is one of the key issues limiting the composite structural design.However, the mechanical behavior under transverse loading can not be represented by traditional micromechanical model which does not consider the influence of constituent properties, fiber volume fraction and fiber dis
Driver monitoring systems (DMS) are a key component of vehicular safety and essential for the transition from semi-autonomous to fully autonomous driving.Neuromorphic vision systems, based on event camera technology, provide advanced sensing in motion analysis tasks.In particular, the behaviours of drivers’ eyes have been studied for the det
While the importance of indexing strategies for optimizing query performance in database systems is widely acknowledged, the impact of rapidly evolving hardware architectures on indexing techniques has been an underexplored area.As modern computing systems increasingly leverage parallel processing capabilities, multi-core CPUs, and specialized hard
Self-related processes define assorted self-relevant or social-cognitive functions that allow us to gather insight and to draw inferences related to our own mental conditions.Self-related processes are mediated by the default mode network (DMN), which, critically, shows altered functionality in individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The cranial endo and dermal skeletons, which comprise the vertebrate skull, evolved independently over 470 million years ago and form separately during embryogenesis.In mammals, much of the cartilaginous chondrocranium is transient, undergoing endochondral ossification or disappearing, so its role in skull morphogenesis is not well studied and it r
