    Abstract The component information collection of ancient buildings is an important form of heritage protection in Huizhou. The application of UAV-based mapping technology has the advantages of small size, flexibility, and high precision. It has been widely used in the surveying and mapping projects of ancient building. Drones are tiny unmanned aerial vehicles that can be remotely controlled from a distance, i.e., drones. In appearance, they resemble helicopters or reconnaissance aircraft, and their versatility makes them a valuable asset. In this paper, the UAV technology was applied to photograph and map the components of ancient buildings in Huizhou. It is found that the UAV shooting, dynamic video, mapping and measurement can achieve the image acquisition, and the physical data such as image information of the building components can be captured by the UAV. Besides, the radio adaption method was used in the UAV shooting to ensure the faster sub-packet transfer rate and lower error packet rate, which can greatly improve the shooting quality of component information extraction for the ancient building in Huizhou. The numerical finding for the proposed method enhances the comparison of data rate under better communication quality and comparison of data rate under poor communication quality.

    Abstract Objectives: This study investigated the relationship between bacterial growth, viability, and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) formation in biofilms, particularly regarding resistance development. It also examined the impact of chemical factors on the EPS matrix and bacterial proliferation in oral biofilms.
    Methods: Three multi-species oral biofilms were incubated in anaerobic conditions. Three strains of Enterococcus faecalis were incubated in aerobic conditions. The incubation periods ranged from 0 h to 7 days for short-term biofilms, and from 3 to 90 days for long-term biofilms. Fluorescent labeling with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and flow cytometry were used to track EPS and bacterial growth. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) assessed bacterial viability and EPS structure. Biofilms aged 7, 14, and 21 days were treated with 2 % chlorhexidine (CHX) and 1 % sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) to evaluate their effects on EPS and bacterial proliferation.
    Results: Short-term biofilms showed rapid bacterial proliferation and a gradual increase in EPS, maintaining stable viability. In the first two weeks, a significant rise in CFSE indicated growing maturity. From 14 to 90 days, EPS and CFSE levels stabilized. Following treatment, CHX significantly reduced bacterial proliferation, while NaOCl decreased EPS volume.
    Conclusions: Biofilm development involves a balance between bacterial proliferation and EPS production. The complexity of this process poses challenges in treating biofilm-associated infections, requiring strategies tailored to the biofilm's developmental stage.
    Clinical significance: For effective root canal treatment, it is imperative to focus on reducing bacterial proliferation during the early stages of oral infections. In contrast, strategies aimed at minimizing EPS production could be more beneficial for long-term management of these conditions.

    Abstract The complex formation mechanism and numerous influencing factors of urban waterlogging disasters make the identification of their risk an essential matter. This paper proposes a framework for identifying urban waterlogging risk that combines multi-source data fusion with hydrodynamics (MDF-H). The framework consists of a source data layer, a model parameter layer, and a calculation layer. Using multi-source data fusion technology, we processed urban meteorological information, geographic information, and municipal engineering information in a unified computation-oriented manner to form a deep fusion of a globalized multi-data layer. In conjunction with the hydrological analysis results, the irregular sub-catchment regions are divided and utilized as calculating containers for the localized runoff yield and flow concentration. Four categories of source data, meteorological data, topographic data, urban underlying surface data, and municipal and traffic data, with a total of 12 factors, are considered the model input variables to define a real-time and comprehensive runoff coefficient. The computational layer consists of three calculating levels: total study area, sub-catchment, and grid. The surface runoff inter-regional connectivity is realized at all levels of the urban road network when combined with hydrodynamic theory. A two-level drainage capacity assessment model is proposed based on the drainage pipe volume density. The final result is the extent and depth of waterlogging in the study area, and a real-time waterlogging distribution map is formed. It demonstrates a mathematical study and an effective simulation of the horizontal transition of rainfall into the surface runoff in a large-scale urban area. The proposed method was validated by the sudden rainstorm event in Futian District, Shenzhen, on 11 April 2019. The average accuracy for identifying waterlogging depth was greater than 95%. The MDF-H framework has the advantages of precise prediction, rapid calculation speed, and wide applicability to ...

    Abstract The continuous destruction of dental hard tissues increases the risk of bacterial invasion, which leads to pulp infections. Irrigation is critical for successful root canal treatment in terms of infection control. However, no single irrigant covers all of the functions demanded, including antibiofilm and tissue-dissolving activities. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial properties of Triton, an all-in-one irrigant, on

    Abstract Background: Exopolysaccharides (EPS) are essential constituents of the extracellular matrix within oral biofilms and are significantly influenced by the local microenvironment. This study aimed to investigate the impact of two distinct antimicrobial agents, DJK-5 and chlorhexidine (CHX), on the EPS volume and pH levels in oral biofilms.
    Methods: Oral biofilms obtained from two donors were cultured on hydroxyapatite discs for durations of 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and 4 weeks. Subsequently, these biofilms were subjected to treatment with 10 µg/mL DJK-5 or 2% CHX for 3 min. The impact of these antimicrobial treatments on factors such as the proportion of dead bacterial, in situ pH, and EPS volume within the biofilms was assessed using corresponding fluorescent probes. The examination was carried out utilizing confocal laser scanning microscopy, and the resulting images were analyzed with a focus on the upper and lower layers of the biofilm, respectively.
    Results: DJK-5 exhibited a more potent bactericidal effect compared to CHX across the 3-day to 4-week duration of the biofilm (P < 0.05). The biofilms were acidic, with the upper layer being less acidic than the lower layer (P < 0.05). Both antimicrobial agents increased the pH, but DJK-5 had a greater effect than CHX (P < 0.05). The volume of EPS was significantly lower in DJK-5 treated biofilms compared to that of CHX, regardless of age or layer (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: DJK-5 exhibited superior effectiveness in reducing viable bacteria and EPS volume, as well as in raising extracellular pH, as compared to chlorhexidine.

    Abstract This study introduces a time-domain-based phase compensation method to address decoherence effects in optical heterodyne detection, which is critical for remote sensing and distance imaging. The numerical simulations demonstrate a substantial reduction in localization bias (6.56-2.85) and an increased probability of bias values below 2 (21.6%-70.5%). The experiments show significant improvement in whiteboard distance imaging accuracy at 10 m from the detector, with 91.7% of the data falling within 10-12 m, compared to a mere 2.3% accuracy before compensation. The method effectively enhances intensity image quality, mitigates decoherence phenomena, and improves detection accuracy and reliability without additional hardware.
