Construction of human digital twin model based on multimodal data and its application in locomotion mode identification by Zhong, Ruirui, Hu, Bingtao, Feng, Yixiong, Zheng, Hao, Hong, Zhaoxi, Lou, Shanhe, Tan, Jianrong

“…Data acquisition system is built to dynamically acquire and update the body state data and physiological data of the human body and realize the digital expression of multi-source heterogeneous human body information. A bidirectional long short-term memory and convolutional neural network (BiLSTM-CNN) based network is devised to fuse multimodal human data and extract the spatiotemporal features, and the human locomotion mode identification is taken as an application case. …”

Dye-sensitized solar cells : fundamentals and current status by Sharma, Khushboo, Sharma, Vinay, Sharma, S. S.

“…Still, there is lot of scope for the replacement of current DSSC materials due to their high cost, less abundance, and long-term stability. The efficiency of existing DSSCs reaches up to 12%, using Ru(II) dyes by optimizing material and structural properties which is still less than the efficiency offered by first- and second-generation solar cells, i.e., other thin-film solar cells and Si-based solar cells which offer ~ 20–30% efficiency. …”

The burden of consciousness : object animism in children's literature by Yam, Hui Qing

“…Animals, plants and objects are often anthropomorphized to delightful effect in children’s literature while adult depictions of the inanimate coming alive almost always occur in the genres of science fiction and horror and have had a much less positive spin. This essay argues that these negative evocations do indeed spill over into children’s texts, manifesting in the common motifs that appear in stories involving object animism, and that enlivened objects are furthermore, representations of Julia Kristeva’s concept of abjection.…”
