The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Lecture notes in computer science: research on hybrid grid algorithm of voronoi diagram

ITM Web of Conferences, 2018
Characteristics and performance of two grid methods, which include the growth method and the point by point scanning method of Voronoi diagram, are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the

Design of Solar Energy Harvesting Reactor From 2D to 3D Structures for Solar Thermal Conversion

Carbon Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solar energy utilisation is pivotal for advancing sustainable and renewable energy solutions, yet the rational design of high‐efficiency photothermal conversion devices remains a critical challenge. This paper systematically examines the evolution of photothermal reactor architectures from two‐dimensional (2D) to 3D structures, emphasising ...

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...

A Generic Statistics-Based Tessellation Method of Voronoi Diagram

, 2015
In terms of distance function and spatial continuity in Voronoi diagram, a generic generating method of Voronoi diagram, named statistical Voronoi diagram, is proposed in this paper based upon statistics with mean vector and covariance matrix.

Interface‐Directed Self‐Assembly of Thermoresponsive Block Copolymers for Tunable Interfacial Nanostructures

Small, EarlyView.
Surface pressure and temperature direct the assembly of P(NIPAM‐b‐AEMA) at the air‐water interface, transforming continuous films into tunable micellar nanodomains. The thermoresponsive P(NIPAM) block enables temperature‐controlled changes in domain size and order.

TreeSegAgent: Agentic tree instance segmentation via a multi‐anchor pipeline

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Individual‐tree segmentation from three‐dimensional forest point clouds underpins forest inventory, biomass estimation and ecosystem monitoring, but remains challenging in structurally complex stands, where vertical heterogeneity and point‐density degradation weaken the robustness of centre‐offset‐based instance grouping.

Time-based Voronoi Diagram and Transportation Network Pricing

, 2007
本論文主要有兩章，探討兩個不同的問題。這兩個問題都是與直線公路有關。 第二章我們考慮一個 Voronoi diagram 的變形，稱為「時間 Voronoi diagram」。在平面上有一組點 (site) 和一組直線公路，在公路上移動速度較快。兩點之間的「最短時間距離」則是從一點到另一點，所需要的最少時間。每條公路的速度亦不盡相同。我們將探討，在有公路的考量下，Voronoi diagram 會如何改變。 第三章我們考慮一個 Stackelberg game 的問題。一家運輸公司 ...
