Although numerous animal researches have shown that the neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic conditioning may be related to neuroinflammation, cellular immunity, apoptosis, and autophagy, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. This review summarizes the current status of different types of remote ischemic conditioning methods in animal and clinical studies and analyzes their commonalities and differences in neuroprotective mechanisms and signaling pathways. Remote ischemic conditioning has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for improving stroke-induced brain injury owing to its simplicity, non-invasiveness, safety, and patient tolerability. Different forms of remote ischemic conditioning exhibit distinct intervention patterns, timing, and application range. Mechanistically, remote ischemic conditioning can exert neuroprotective effects by activating the Notch1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway, improving cerebral perfusion, suppressing neuroinflammation, inhibiting cell apoptosis, activating autophagy, and promoting neural regeneration. While remote ischemic conditioning has shown potential in improving stroke outcomes, its full clinical translation has not yet been achieved.展开更多

Additionally, a Multi-Head Self-Attention (MHSA) mechanism is incorporated to improve the model’s capacity for capturing finer details, particularly in distinguishing thin clouds from surface features. A multi-path supervision mechanism is also devised to ensure the model learns cloud features at multiple scales, further boosting the accuracy and robustness of cloud mask generation. Experimental results demonstrate that the enhanced model achieves superior performance compared to other benchmarked methods in complex scenarios. It significantly improves cloud detection accuracy, highlighting its strong potential for practical applications in cloud detection tasks.展开更多

Although numerous animal researches have shown that the neuroprotective effect of remote ischemic conditioning may be related to neuroinflammation, cellular immunity, apoptosis, and autophagy, the exact underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. This review summarizes the current status of different types of remote ischemic conditioning methods in animal and clinical studies and analyzes their commonalities and differences in neuroprotective mechanisms and signaling pathways. Remote ischemic conditioning has emerged as a potential therapeutic approach for improving stroke-induced brain injury owing to its simplicity, non-invasiveness, safety, and patient tolerability. Different forms of remote ischemic conditioning exhibit distinct intervention patterns, timing, and application range. Mechanistically, remote ischemic conditioning can exert neuroprotective effects by activating the Notch1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt signaling pathway, improving cerebral perfusion, suppressing neuroinflammation, inhibiting cell apoptosis, activating autophagy, and promoting neural regeneration. While remote ischemic conditioning has shown potential in improving stroke outcomes, its full clinical translation has not yet been achieved.

文摘With the increasing global population and mounting pressures on agricultural production,precise pest monitoring has become a critical factor in ensuring food security.Traditional monitoring methods,often inefficient,struggle to meet the demands of modern agriculture.Drone remote sensing technology,leveraging its high efficiency and flexibility,demonstrates significant potential in pest monitoring.Equipped with multispectral,hyperspectral,and thermal infrared sensors,drones can rapidly cover large agricultural fields,capturing high-resolution imagery and data to detect spectral variations in crops.This enables effective differentiation between healthy and infested plants,facilitating early pest identification and targeted control.This paper systematically reviews the current applications of drone remote sensing technology in pest monitoring by examining different sensor types and their use in monitoring major crop pests and diseases.It also discusses existing challenges,aiming to provide insights and references for future research.
文摘Cardiac arrest(CA)is a major global public health challenge,and its high morbidity and low survival rate pose severe tests for emergency and critical care.Although modern CPR techniques significantly improve the immediate resuscitation success rate in CA patients,poor outcomes such as neurological impairment still significantly increase the long-term care burden and reduce the quality of survival.In recent years,the application of remote ischemic conditioning(RIC)has attracted much attention in the field of cardiac arrest through its unique myocardial-nerve dual protection mechanism against the heart.This paper summarizes the conceptual connotation,physiological mechanism,operation method,and its application progress in CA and explores the potential of this technology in the field of CA care in order to provide reference for the research and application of RIC in the field of emergency care.

文摘This study investigates the prediction of groundwater Storage in the Rabat-Sale-Kenitra region under climate change conditions using advanced machine learning models.A comprehensive dataset encompassing hydrological,meteorological,and geological factors was meticulously curated and preprocessed for model training.Six regression models Decision Tree,Random Forest,LightGBM,CatBoost,Extreme Learning Machine(ELM),and Artificial Neural Network(ANN)were employed to predict groundwater Storage,with hyperparameters optimized via grid search.The performance of these models was rigorously evaluated using metrics such as Root Mean Squared Error(RMSE),Mean Absolute Error(MAE),and the coefficient of determination(R^(2)).Results demonstrated that the LightGBM model outperformed the others,achieving an impressive testing RMSE of 3.07 and an R^(2)of 0.9997,indicating its robustness in handling large datasets.The Extreme Learning Machine and ANN showed considerable limitations,highlighting the importance of model selection.This research underscores the critical role of advanced machine learning techniques in enhancing groundwater resource management,providing valuable insights for policymakers in developing sustainable strategies to address groundwater challenges in the face of climate variability.
文摘Harmful algal blooms(HABs)pose a growing threat to aquatic ecosystems,human health,and economies worldwide.Climate change and nutrient enrichment have driven an increase in both the size and frequency of blooms,making accurate observation more urgent than ever.Remote sensing has become a critical tool for monitoring HABs,yet commonly used multispectral instruments such as MODIS,Landsat,and Sentinel face major limitations.Their coarse spatial resolution prevents reliable observation in smaller inland waters,long revisit times restrict timely monitoring,and limited spectral bands reduce the ability to discriminate key pigments like chlorophyll a and phycocyanin.In contrast,hyperspectral sensors capture hundreds of narrow,contiguous bands at higher spatial,temporal,and radiometric resolutions,enabling the detection of subtle phytoplankton characteristics and bloom dynamics across diverse environments.Hyperspectral imagers mounted on unmanned aerial systems further provide near-daily data collection,making them especially effective for tracking bloom evolution.While forecasting remains an emerging application,hyperspectral observation offers the clearest path forward for improving HAB detection and monitoring.This paper reviews the advantages of hyperspectral remote sensing over multispectral approaches and argues for its adoption as an essential technology in safeguarding aquatic health and mitigating the rising global risk of HABs.
文摘Remote sensing scene image classification is a prominent research area within remote sensing.Deep learningbased methods have been extensively utilized and have shown significant advancements in this field.Recent progress in these methods primarily focuses on enhancing feature representation capabilities to improve performance.The challenge lies in the limited spatial resolution of small-sized remote sensing images,as well as image blurring and sparse data.These factors contribute to lower accuracy in current deep learning models.Additionally,deeper networks with attention-based modules require a substantial number of network parameters,leading to high computational costs and memory usage.In this article,we introduce ERSNet,a lightweight novel attention-guided network for remote sensing scene image classification.ERSNet is constructed using a deep separable convolutional network and incorporates an attention mechanism.It utilizes spatial attention,channel attention,and channel self-attention to enhance feature representation and accuracy,while also reducing computational complexity and memory usage.Experimental results indicate that,compared to existing state-of-the-art methods,ERSNet has a significantly lower parameter count of only 1.2 M and reduced Flops.It achieves the highest classification accuracy of 99.14%on the EuroSAT dataset,demonstrating its suitability for application on mobile terminal devices.Furthermore,experimental results from the UCMerced land use dataset and the Brazilian coffee scene also confirm the strong generalization ability of this method.

文摘Intelligent interpretation of high-resolution remote sensing imagery is a fundamental challenge in aerospace information processing.Complex ground environments such as construction and demolition(C&D)waste landfills exemplify the need for robust segmentation models that can handle diverse spatial and spectral patterns.Conventional convolutional neural networks(CNNs)are limited by their local receptive fields,whereas Transformer-based architectures often lose fine spatial detail,resulting in incomplete delineation of heterogeneous remote sensing targets.To address these issues,we propose a global-local collaborative network(GLC-Net),which is designed for intelligent remote sensing image segmentation.The model integrates an efficient Transformer block to capture global dependencies and a local enhancement block to refine structural details.Furthermore,a multi-scale spatial aggregation and enhancement(MSAE)module is introduced to strengthen contextual representation and suppress background noise.Deep supervision facilitates hierarchical feature learning.Experiments on two high-resolution remote sensing datasets(Changping and Daxing)demonstrate that GLC-Net surpasses state-of-the-art baselines by 1.5%-3.2%in mean intersection over union(mIoU),while achieving superior boundary precision and semantic consistency.These results confirm that global-local collaborative modeling provides an effective pathway for intelligent remote sensing image segmentation in aerospace environmental monitoring.
