Influencing factors were analyzed, and correlation analyses wereperformed.RESULTSA total of 483 elderly cancer patients successfully completed the study. The prevalence of LS and StD amongparticipants was 56.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified age, tumor metastasis,exercise habits, and the presence of StD as significant risk factors for LS in elderly cancer patients. Additionally,having three or more chronic diseases and LS were significant predictors for developing StD. Spearman’s correlationanalysis revealed a significant positive correlation between LS and StD (r = 0.424, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONElderly cancer patients exhibit a high prevalence of LS and StD, conditions which are positively correlated andmutually influential. Thus, it is critical to monitor and address pre-depressive states while evaluating and managingmotor function in this population.展开更多

Additionally,having three or more chronic diseases and LS were significant predictors for developing StD. Spearman’s correlationanalysis revealed a significant positive correlation between LS and StD (r = 0.424, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONElderly cancer patients exhibit a high prevalence of LS and StD, conditions which are positively correlated andmutually influential. Thus, it is critical to monitor and address pre-depressive states while evaluating and managingmotor function in this population.

文摘A novel precipitate-free Mg-0.1Sn anode with a homogeneous equal-axis grain structure was developed and rolled successfully at 573 K.Electrochemical test results indicate that the Mg-0.1Sn alloy exhibits enhanced anode dissolution kinetics.A Mg-air battery prepared using this anode exhibits a cell voltage of 1.626 V at 0.5 mA/cm^(2),reasonable anodic efficiency of 58.17%,and good specific energy of 1730.96 mW·h/g at 10 mA/cm^(2).This performance is attributed to the effective reactive anode surface,the suppressed chunk effect,and weak self-corrosion owing to the homogeneous basal texture.

文摘The microstructure and mechanical properties of 2524 Al alloy after quenching in liquid nitrogen(LN_(2))were investigated by TEM and compared with those of cold water quenching.The results show that the LN_(2) quenching process effectively induces the formation of dislocation loops.These loops become large and unevenly distribute after aging for 15 min.Furthermore,such loops become rapidly immobilized by the precipitation of coarse S phases after 1 h aging.The alloy quenched in LN_(2) demonstrates superior peak hardness and displays a more rapid response to subsequent aging treatments compared with the cold water-quenched one.Despite the short aging time,LN_(2)-quenched sample achieves tensile strength of 488 MPa.This enhanced strength is attributed to the strengthening effect of numerous finely dispersed Guinier-Preston-Bagaryatsky(GPB)zones,in conjunction with the inhomogeneous formation of S phase on the dislocation loops.

文摘The effects of internals on liquid mixing and gas-liquid mass transfer have rarely been investigated in bubble columns,and the commonly used measurement method overestimates significantly overall gas holdup.Firstly,gas holdup measurement method is improved by conducting multi-point liquid level measurement and using net fluid volume instead of bed volume to calculate gas holdup.Then,a stable conductivity method for liquid macromixing has been established by shielding large bubbles using#16nylon mesh.Subsequently,the influences of internal coverage(=12.6%,18.9% and 25.1%) on macroscopic fluid dynamics in a bubble column with a free wall area are systematically investigated.It is found that the presence of internals has a notable effect on macroscopic fluid dynamics.The overall gas holdup and gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient decrease,and the macromixing time decreases with the increase of internal cross-sectional area coverage.These are mainly caused by the uneven distribution of airflow due to the low resistance in the free wall area.This design makes maintenance easier,but in reality,the reactor performance has decreased.Further improvements will be made to the reactor performance based on such a configuration through flow guidance using baffles.

文摘[Objectives]This study was condcuted to investigate the formula optimization and nutritional components of Brassica vegetable juice beverage.[Methods]Brassica was selected as the raw material to optimize the formula of the vegetable juice beverage.The vitamin C content and flavor components were analyzed in both sterilized and non-sterilized samples.[Results]Based on water,the optimal formula for the Brassica vegetable juice beverage was determined as:20%Brassica juice,5%erythritol,and 0.1%citric acid.The highest vitamin C content was observed in unsterilized samples(12.167 mg/100 g sample),followed by samples sterilized at 71℃for 15 s(9.864 mg/100 g sample).The most significant loss of vitamin C occurred under sterilization conditions of 68℃for 30 min.GC-MS analysis detected a total of seven volatile components in the Brassica vegetable juice beverage,including siloxanes,alcohols,aldehydes,and methoxyphenyl oxime.Before sterilization,siloxane compounds(D3,D4,D5)showed the highest content in the Brassica vegetable juice,accounting for 63.606%,followed by methoxyphenyl oxime at 24.802%.After sterilization,siloxane compounds(D3,D4,D5)exhibited the highest content reaching 81.963%,while methoxyphenyl oxime taking the second place decreased to 14.276%.[Conclusions]This study provides new insights and methodologies for the development and utilization of Brassica crops and other agricultural products,offering a theoretical foundation for accelerating the integrated development of Brassica processing and sales.

文摘A cylindrical chamber with a rotating bottom holds significant potential for application in cell culture bioreactors due to its ability to generate more stable swirling flows.In order to control vortex breakdown within the chamber,this study first establishes a computational fluid dynamics simulation coupled with the level set method.Verified by experimental results in literature,this method accurately simulates the position and shape of vortex breakdown,and also predicts the critical Reynolds numbers for the appearance and detachment of vortex breakdown bubbles from the center.Additionally,it precisely captures the gas-liquid interface and depicts the vortex breakdown phenomenon in the air above the liquid for the first time.Finally,it predicts the impact of physical property of gas-liquid systems on vortex breakdown in response to significant changes in viscosity of microbial process systems.

文摘Extreme weather events have been identified as the top global risk for the upcoming decade,according to the Global Risk Report 2025.Between July and September 2024,four tropical cyclones with extreme characteristics made landfall in China,highlighting the potential impacts of climate change on tropical cyclone activity.Super Typhoon Gaemi made landfall in Taiwan and Fujian provinces,setting record-breaking daily rainfall at 14 meteorological stations in Jiangxi,Hunan,and Liaoning provinces.As the strongest typhoon to make landfall in China during autumn,Yagi maintained super typhoon intensity when making landfall in Hainan,Guangdong provinces in China,and Quang Ninh Province in Vietnam.Typhoon Bebinca and Tropical Storm Pulasan made consecutive landfalls in Shanghai within four days,with Bebinca being the strongest typhoon to strike Shanghai and Jiangsu Province since 1949.The World Weather Attribution report indicates that,due to climate change,rainfall events like those from Super Typhoon Gaemi have become more frequent,now occurring every 20 years in the northern Philippines,every 5 years in Taiwan Province,and every 100 years in Hunan Province.In Taiwan and Hunan provinces,climate change has increased rainfall by 14%and 9%,respectively.It is suggested that exploring how climate change influences the extreme events of landfalling typhoons is an important area for future research.

文摘This study investigates the size characteristics and related temporal variations of tropical cyclones(TCs)over the Western North Pacific(WNP)and those affecting East China(EC)using Joint Typhoon Warning Center(JTWC)data during 2001-20.The average size of EC TCs is found to be similar to that over the WNP.Furthermore,the annual maximum lifetime maximum size(LMS)of EC TCs shows a statistically significant increasing trend,implying a more severe impact on the EC region.Composite analyses of intensity and size variation over the entire lifetime of TCs,before and after re-curvature,and before and after rapid intensification(RI),show that there are significant differences between them in some key areas:(1)The intensity begins to rapidly decrease after the TC has reached its highest intensity,but the size remains quasi-constant;(2)When a TC recurves south of 15°N or north of 30°N,the variation trend for both intensity and size are broadly similar before and after curvature,but their variation trends are opposite when the recurvature occurs between 15°-30°N;(3)After RI,the intensity reaches its peak value within 24 h,whereas the size reaches its LMS after30-48 h.A significant correlation is also found between the rate of change in intensity and that of size during the development stage,with a correlation coefficient of 0.67 and 0.73 for TCs in the WNP and EC,respectively.However,no significant correlation exists during the weakening stage.
