A surface with large reflection variations represents one of the biggest challenges for optical 3D shape measurement.In this work, we propose an alternative hybrid 3D shape measurement approach, which combines the high accuracy of fringe projection profilometry (FPP) with the robustness cucharas reservoir of laser stripe scanning (LSS).To integrate

Abstract It has been reported spmx50003s50h5 that neuregulin1 (NRG1) improves glucose tolerance in healthy and diabetic rodents.In vitro studies also suggest that NRG1 regulates myocyte oxidative capacity.To confirm this observation in vivo, we evaluated the effect on mitochondrial function of an 8-week treatment with NRG1 in db/db diabetic mice an
In utilizing a variable-structure multiple-model (VSMM) algorithm for kinematic state estimation, the core step is the model set design.This study aims to refine the existing expected-mode augmentation (EMA) algorithm, a method of model set design.First, the OTSU algorithm is employed to determine an adaptive threshold, which in turn allows for a r
Ecosystems provide a vast array of services for human societies, but understanding how various organisms contribute to the functions that maintain these services remains an important ecological challenge.Predators can affect ecosystem functions through a combination of top-down trophic cascades and bottom-up effects on nutrient dynamics.As the most
