A three-dimensional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model incorporating the layered TM structure, Schlemm's canal (SC), iris, and other anterior segment tissues was developed based on human ocular anatomy. FSI simulations were performed to quantify the effects of IOP variations and iris Young's modulus on tissue morphology and aqueous humor dynamics parameters. The computational results demonstrated that axial iris deformation showed significant correlations with IOP and iris Young's modulus. Although elevated IOP exhibited minimal effects on hydrodynamic parameters in the anterior and posterior chambers, it markedly suppressed aqueous flow velocity in the TM region. Additionally, wall shear stress in SC and collector channels displayed high sensitivity to IOP variations.

At the same time, the model uses causal convolution to obtain temporal correlation information between different scale features, and assigns attention maps to them according to the information, so as to obtain multi-scale fusion of speech emotion features. Secondly, this paper proposes a two-modal feature dynamic fusion algorithm, which combines the advantages of AlexNet and uses overlapping maximum pooling layers to obtain richer fusion features from different modal feature mosaic matrices. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the multi-branch bidirectional multi-scale time sensing dual-modal emotion recognition model proposed in this paper reaches 97.67% and 90.14% respectively on the two public audio and video emotion data sets, which is superior to other common methods, indicating that the proposed emotion recognition model can effectively capture emotion feature information and improve the accuracy of emotion recognition.</p>","PeriodicalId":39324,"journal":{"name":"生物医学工程学杂志","volume":"42 3","pages":"528-536"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144498311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
