The years 1918–1921: the recovery of Polish independence in the international context

The article highlights Poland’s foreign policy in 1918-1921 and emphasizes that the key role in the restoration of independent Poland was played by Józef Piłsudski, a moderate socialist leader of the independent forces of Poland, and the co...

Vulnerability assessment of urban remnant mountain ecosystems based on ecological sensitivity and ecosystem services

Urban remnant mountains (URMs) are precious natural green habitat patches that can provide a series of ecosystem services for multi-mountainous cities. The increase in ecological sensitivity and degradation of ecosystem services affected by...

Exogenous gibberellin and spermidine optimize flowering time and ornamental quality by regulating antioxidant capacity, soluble nutrient levels, and endogenous hormone balance of Primula forbesii

Primula forbesii Franch. is a biennial ornamental species increasingly used in flower landscape design, potted displays, and cut flower production. Nevertheless, studies on its flowering regulation remain limited. This study investigated th...

Restoring Budget Transparency in Ukraine in the Context of War-Induced Institutional Deterioration

The article examines the restoration of budget transparency in Ukraine following its sharp deterioration caused by the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation and the introduction of martial law. It demonstrates that, during t...

Research on the Longitudinal Section of River Restoration Using Probabilistic Theory

Since the 1960s, many rivers have been destroyed as a consequence of the process of rapid urbanization. As accurate figures are important to repair rivers, there have been many research reports on methods to obtain the exact river slope and...

Effect of Curcumin on Odontogenic/Osteogenic Differentiation of Dental Pulp Stem Cells

Introduction: Stem cells have gained great attention in tissue engineering and curcumin is a natural phenolic product that had showed some positive effects on these cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of curcumin on the ...

Educational Institutions of Labor Reserves in Western Siberia at the Beginning of the Great Patriotic War (1941–1942)

The evacuation of industrial enterprises, educational institutions, and millions of Soviet citizens during the Great Patriotic War is a tragic page in the history of Russia. This complex operation involved the evacuation and placement of hu...

Toll-like receptor 2 coordinates induction of IL-22 in lung macrophages following organic dust-induced inflammation

IntroductionOrganic dust exposures, particularly in occupational settings, induce airway inflammation and contribute to the development and progression of chronic lung disease and impaired tissue regeneration. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a pl...

Structure and Spatial Distribution of Ge Nanocrystals Subjected to Fast Neutron Irradiation

The influence of fast neutron irradiation on the structure and spatial distribution of Ge nanocrystals (NC) embedded in an amorphous SiO2 matrix has been studied. The investigation was conducted by means of laser Raman Scattering (RS), High...

Improved U-Net Model for Road Crack Detection Based on Residual and Attention Mechanism

Road cracks are an important part of road safety detection，and with the development of deep learning and computer vision，methods for extracting crack information in road images using deep learning methods are maturing.Existing deep learning...

Computer vision applied to super resolution

Super-resolution (SR) restoration aims to solve the following problem: given a set of observed images, estimate an image at a higher resolution than is present in any of the individual images. Where the application of this technique differs...

SAIN:structure-aware image inpainting for large missing areas

Abstract Image inpainting is crucial for restoring missing or corrupted regions in images, with diverse applications in computer vision and digital content creation. Existing deep learning-based methods, however, often struggle with large o...

Removing fences from sweep motion videos using global 3D reconstruction and fence-aware light field rendering

Abstract Diminishing the appearance of a fence in an image is a challenging research area due to the characteristics of fences (thinness, lack of texture, etc.) and the need for occluded background restoration. In this paper, we describe a ...
