Summary: This article proposes a new complex impedance pharyngography (CIPG) detection method that can dynamically extract complex impedance information during the swallowing process. An intelligent algorithm for swallowing event recognition is designed, achieving a high recognition accuracy of 97.8%. The study demonstrates the effectiveness and superiority of CIPG technology and the intelligent recognition algorithm, providing a theoretical and technical foundation for developing early screening methods for dysphagia based on CIPG.

Summary: This article proposes a dock dataset to establish a benchmark and advance dock detection research. To meet the challenges in dock detection, a novel deformable spatial attention module (DSAM) is proposed to enhance the feature representation and localization of docks. Based on the DSAM, a novel network architecture is proposed for accurate and efficient dock detection. Experimental results show that the proposed methods are accurate and effective, and outperform existing methods.

Summary: Termites play a key role in tropical ecosystems as soil bioturbators. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing the physical and chemical properties of termite-made soil sheeting. The results showed that sheeting properties were influenced by environmental factors, particularly the properties of the bulk soil. However, classic hypotheses related to termite feeding and building strategies were not supported. The distinction between fungus-growing and non-fungus growing species was useful in differentiating the impact on soil properties. The findings suggest the need to redefine termite functional groups based on their impacts on soil properties.

Summary: This paper proposes a novel method based on Lock-in Amplifier (LIA) and Lock-in Amplifier Frequency-Locked Loop (LIA-FLL) to accurately measure power with harmonics and frequency fluctuations. The method tracks the variations in the input signal frequency using LIA-FLL and extracts the accurate amplitude of each frequency component using LIA, resulting in accurate and precise measurement.

Summary: The dock shop hoisting process is a critical bottleneck stage in shipbuilding, impacting a shipyard's competitiveness in terms of cost and delivery time. Difficulty in improving productivity through computer simulation technology is due to the complexity and uniqueness of the hoisting process. To address this, a new simulation model (IWI) is proposed to accurately capture the dynamics of the hoisting process, overcoming previous deficiencies in modelling and simulation methods for project-type manufacturing cases.

Summary: The creation of confined coordination spaces with controlled flexibility plays a crucial role in simulating enzymatic reactions. In this study, it was found that a simple non-chelating compound, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzene (DPPBz), could assemble two Cp*Ru units to form a dinuclear complex. Treatment with excess hydrazine resulted in a diazene-bridged complex with intramolecular NH····Cl hydrogen bonds, while a monophosphine failed to stabilize this structure due to lack of conformational enforcement.

Summary: Researchers have successfully designed two-dimensional assemblies with structural complexity by utilizing the distinct interfacial morphology of soft particles. They found that core-shell particles can form complex chain and cluster structures under interfacial compression. Through a combination of experimental, simulation, and theoretical analysis, the interaction parameter of the system was narrowed down to between 0.9 and 2.

Summary: This work examines a new subclass of generalized bi-subordinate functions of complex order ?, connected to the q-difference operator. Upper bounds ?m for generalized bi-subordinate functions of complex order ? are obtained using the Faber polynomial expansion technique. Additionally, coefficient bounds |?(2)| and Feke-Sezgo problems |?(3)-?2/2| are found for the functions in the newly defined class, subject to gap series conditions. The findings in this paper generalize those from previous efforts by a number of prior researchers.

Summary: The failure mechanism and degradation analysis of an aircraft cabin door lock mechanism are studied. A data-driven degradation analysis is conducted based on the characteristics of two types of degradation data for the lock mechanism. The correlation between the two degradation processes is studied, and the optimal model is obtained for reliability analysis. A residual life prediction model is proposed and tested for accuracy, showing potential improvement for the reliability and service life of the aircraft lock mechanism.
