Porosity and Resistance of Textured Hair: Assessing Chemical and Physical Damage Under Consumer-Relevant Conditions by Rebeca Mantuan Gasparin, Carolina Botelho Lourenço, Gislaine Ricci Leonardi

“…Both chemical and physical processes induced significant changes in the hair’s water permeability, surface topography, and appearance, alongside a reduction in mechanical and thermal properties, indicating substantial structural alterations compared to virgin hair. Increased porosity compared to virgin hair possibly reduced the heat conductivity of bleached hair, leading to less pronounced effects of heat exposure. …”

Parental involvement and school engagement reduce adolescent aggressive behaviors: a three wave cross-lagged model by Zhen Wang, Yuanyuan Chen, Yunsheng Su, Yan Song, Zhiyuan Tao

“…Descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS 26, followed by the construction of a cross-lagged model using Mplus 8.4.ResultsThe structural equation model showed: (1) T2 school engagement positively mediated the relationship between T1 parental involvement and T3 aggressive behaviors; (2) A bidirectional relationship was established, where T2 school engagement also mediated the relationship between T1 aggressive behaviors and T3 parental involvement.ConclusionThis study reveals the detailed mechanisms of how parental and school engagement influence adolescent aggressive behaviors, emphasizing the importance of the interaction between individuals and their environment in the mechanisms of aggressive behaviors.…”

Procedural Content Graphs for Urban Modeling by Pedro Brandão Silva, Elmar Eisemann, Rafael Bidarra, António Coelho

“…While shape grammars are a popular example of effectiveness in architectural modeling, they have clear limitations regarding readability, manageability, and expressive power when addressing a variety of complex structural designs. Moreover, shape grammars aim at geometry specification and do not facilitate integration with other types of content, such as textures or light sources, which could rather accompany the generation process. …”

Point set registration-based image stitching in unmanned aerial vehicle transmission line inspection by Xiyu Wang, Xin Hu, Diyuan Xiang, Jian Xiao, Hongliang Cheng

“…Abstract To address the limitations of narrow field of view and insufficient target information in single frame images obtained by airborne cameras, this paper proposed a novel image stitching method using an improved robust point set registration algorithm based on neighborhood and local structural features(PR-NLS). The proposed method combines stable local and global constraints between two corresponding point sets, weighted spatial distance is introduced to obtain the local neighborhood of the motion vector to reduce the complexity of the point set, and combines weighted spatial distance with feature descriptors to improve the model fit. …”
