A dual-task segmentation network based on multi-head hierarchical attention for 3D plant point cloud by Dan Pan, Baijing Liu, Lin Luo, An Zeng, Yuting Zhou, Kaixin Pan, Zhiheng Xian, Yulun Xian, Yulun Xian, Licheng Liu

“…IntroductionThe development of automated high-throughput plant phenotyping systems with non-destructive characteristics fundamentally relies on achieving accurate segmentation of botanical structures at both semantic and instance levels. However, most existing approaches rely heavily on empirically determined threshold parameters and rarely integrate semantic and instance segmentation within a unified framework.MethodsTo address these limitations, this study introduces a methodology leveraging 2D image data of real plants, i.e., Caladium bicolor, captured using a custom-designed plant cultivation platform. …”

MATHEMATICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF THE USE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLAMMERS DURING THE RESTORATION OF THE DENTITION WITH DOUBLE-SIDED DISTAL DEFECTS AND THE DEFECT INCLUDED IN THE FRONTA... by R.V. Kozak, D.M. Korol

“…The basic conditions that ensure good functional qualities and durability of prosthetic structures from the point of view of biomechanics, undoubtedly include an optimal way of fixing a partial removable prosthesis, which consists in the correct choice of the clamping system that ensures reliable fixation of the prosthesis in the given position and at the same time causing a minimum of harm supporting teeth, as well as the most rational distribution of occlusal loads transmitted to the supporting tissues, since it is these factors that determine the durability functioning dentures. …”

STUDY OF APPROACHES TO IMPROVING DENTAL HEALTH OF DONETSK REGION RESIDENTS ON THE BASIS OF SELECTIVE ANALYSIS OF ORAL CAVITY DISEASES by S.O. Turchenenko, S.P. Yarova, O.P. Reva, Yu. Yu. Yarov, A. A. Komlev

“…A similar result in 46.58 % was the number of patients who applied after the removal of teeth to the orthopedic department in order to restore the integrity of the dentition (removable, conditionally removable, non-removable structures). But in addition to the lack of full restoration of the dentition, it was found that the ratio of total filled teeth to cement fillings was 44.5 percent of all filled teeth due to both caries and its complications. 44.5 % was the restoration of lost tooth tissues using cements (zinc phosphate and SIC). …”

Sidewalk thermal comfort in street canyon and role of pavements under perpendicular sun rays during summer by D. Jareemit, M. Srivanit

“…Urban planners and designers should consider integrating additional strategies such as tree planting, Sidewalks facing different directions, exposed to sunlight, instead of pedestrian arcades and overhead shading structures. The thermal environments and comfort of sunlit north-facing sidewalks in an east-west-oriented deep street canyon during the summer, when the sun's path shifts northward, are greatly influenced by the solar tilt and azimuth angles. …”
