This is achieved with the integration of existing as well as acquired knowledge, in a decision module implemented in the electronics of an elevator. So far, elevators do not exploit information regarding their recent usage. In the developed system decisions are driven based on information arising from monitoring the use of the elevator. Monitoring provides various records of usage which consequently are used to predict elevator’s future usage and to adapt accordingly its functioning. Till now, there are only elevators that encompass in their electronics algorithms with if then rules in order to control elevator’s functioning. However, these if then rules are based only on good practice knowledge of similar elevators installed in similar buildings. Even this knowledge which unavoidably is associated with uncertainty is not encoded in a mathematically consisted way in the algorithms. The design, the implementation and a first pilot evaluation study of an elevator’s intelligent decision module are presented. The study concludes that the presented application sufficiently reduces energy consumption through properly controlled functioning.展开更多

Communication duration represents the key performance indicator for LEO satellite communication systems. For longer communication sessions, more satellites must be involved, and the signals must be handed over from one satellite to the next to provide uninterrupted real-time services to the appropriate user or ground station. This leads to the concept and structure of the satellites organized in the constellation. Communication window (visibility window) depends on the designed horizon plane width determined by licensed elevation angle. For the appropriate calculations, a satellite from the Starlink constellation at altitude of 550 km is considered, observed under licensed designed elevations of 40˚ and 25˚. Calculations under two designed elevation levels confirmed the wider horizon and consequently longer communication under the lower elevation.展开更多

文摘M50 steel,commonly utilized in aircraft engine bearings,is susceptible to friction-induced failures,particularly in high-temperature service conditions.To address this issue,various strategies have been proposed,with laser shock peening(LSP)garnering significant attention due to its deeper residual stress penetration and excellent surface integrity,whereas the underlying strengthening mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated.In this study,we systematically investigate the impact of LSP treatment on the tribological properties of M50 steel at temperatures of 25 and 300℃,alongside elucidating the relevant micro-mechanisms.Microstructural analysis reveals that laser impact strengthening primarily arises from dislocation proliferation,resulting in a surface hardness increase of approximately 14%and the formation of a substantial compressive stress layer reaching a maximum value of about 1200 MPa,with a depth of around 2 mm.Friction test results demonstrate reduced coefficients of friction and wear rates following LSP treatment at both temperatures.Notably,a more pronounced reduction is observed at 300℃,with values decreasing by 41.4%and 55.8%,respectively.The enhanced performance is attributed to the synergistic interplay of compressive residual stresses,work-hardening layers,increased density of dislocations,and substantial microstructure refinement.

文摘BACKGROUND The incidence of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)is rising,with cardiac rupture accounting for approximately 2%of deaths in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Ventricular free wall rupture(FWR)occurs in approximately 2%of AMI patients and is notably rare in patients with non-STEMI.Types of cardiac rupture include left ventricular FWR,ventricular septal rupture,and papillary muscle rupture.The FWR usually leads to acute cardiac tamponade or electromechanical dissociation,where standard resuscitation efforts may not be effective.Ventricular septal rupture and papillary muscle rupture often result in refractory heart failure,with mortality rates over 50%,even with surgical or percutaneous repair options.CASE SUMMARY We present a rare case of an acute non-STEMI patient who suffered sudden FWR causing cardiac tamponade and loss of consciousness immediate before undergoing coronary angiography.Prompt resuscitation and emergency open-heart repair along with coronary artery bypass grafting resulted in successful patient recovery.CONCLUSION This case emphasizes the risks of AMI complications,shares a successful treatment scenario,and discusses measures to prevent such complications.

文摘Soil microbial communities and grassland ecosystem processes are increasingly confronted with multiple global change factors(GCFs).There is still a lack of research on how these multiple GCFs interact and impact soil microbial communities and their functions.To address this gap,we conducted a simulation experiment to examine the individual and interactive effects of the four most critical and prevalent GCFs,elevated carbon dioxide concentration(eCO_(2)),elevated temperature(eT),decreased precipitation(dP),and elevated nitrogen(N)deposition(eN).This study focused on their effects on soil physicochemical properties,bacterial and fungal communities,and extracellular enzyme activities(EEAs)related to carbon(C),N,and phosphorus(P)cycles in a temperate grassland.Results showed that eCO_(2),eN,and dP tended to increase EEAs,while having neutral effects on microbial diversity and community composition.On the other hand,eT resulted in decreases in soil pH,total C,total N,EEAs,and microbial diversity,but increases in plant biomass,total P,microbial richness,and network complexity and stability.This shift in the nutrient limitation from P to N under warming conditions resulted in decoupling of nutrients.Neutral or slightly negative relationships were found between enzyme activities and microbial richness,diversity,and dominant species,and the responses of microbial communities and ecological functions were asynchronous under GCFs.Importantly,our results revealed significant higher-order interactions among GCFs and found that they had notable effects on soil physicochemical properties as well as on microbial communities and ecological functions.These findings provide valuable insights and suggestions for ecological adaptations to future global changes.
文摘Psychoneuroimmunology is a scientific discipline exploring the interconnectedness of the nervous system,emotion state,and immune system.The current review examines the distinct mechanisms through which the mind and body interact when subjected to stress.Manifestations of psychoneuroimmunological stress encompass symptoms such as depression,aggression,fear,and social withdrawal,which can exert a profound impact on physiological well-being.Some observations suggest that humans and nonhuman animals exhibit similar stress-related symptoms,aiding in the identification of pharmacological pathways and potential clinical implications of therapeutic interventions.Animal stress models are predicated on varying approaches aimed at eliciting a motivational state to navigate and confront aversive circumstances.The current review describes the diverse stress induction models that have been investigated internationally,incorporating an ethological perspective that involves evaluating innate and unpunished behaviors through methodologies like the elevated plus maze,elevated zero maze,light-dark box,and open field test.Additionally,conditioned operant conflict tests,such as the Vogel conflict test,fall under the purview of learning and punishment models.This category encompasses classic conditioning models like fear conditioning,psychosocial models such as social defeat,and physical and chronic unpredictable stress paradigms.In this review,we critically evaluate existing cognitive and behavioral frameworks underpinning the development and perpetuation of stress-related disorders,while also elucidating the impact of immune system responses on the mental and physical health of animals.The primary objective of this review is to elucidate the array of animal models employed in previous research and the testing protocols used to assess animal performance in stress induction scenarios,with the ultimate aim of reducing mortality rates among research animals.

文摘Allium stracheyi(Baker)is widely utilized as a culinary herb and is typically encountered in the higher elevations of the Himalayas.Consequently,it is of great significance to compare the ecological adaptability of this indigenous species to alternative habitats and its introduction into new environments.This research aims to investigate and gain a comprehensive understanding of A.stracheyi,also known as faran,in Uttarakhand region.We aim to examine how this plant adapts morphologically,physiologically,biochemically,and anatomically to varying elevations,specifically at 550,2200,2460,and 3400 m above mean sea level(m AMSL).This plant demonstrated remarkable morphophysiological adjustments across various aspects of its development,encompassing modified growth patterns,alterations in leaf dimensions,leaf count,etc..Moreover,biochemical adaptations have been identified as pivotal in bolstering the plant resilience to the stress associated with higher elevation.Enzymes like superoxide dismutase(SOD)and peroxidase(POD)exhibited significant responsiveness to elevational variations,contributing to the plant's ability to confront the challenges posed by high-elevational conditions.In terms of anatomy,the plant manifested alterations in its leaf and vascular tissues along the elevational gradient.These modifications involve an increased density of stomata and a greater count of vascular bundles,optimizing gas exchange and adaptation to water stress in frequently encountered harsh environmental conditions at higher elevations.Understanding the adaptive mechanisms employed by A.stracheyi provides valuable insights,especially in forecasting how A.stracheyi might respond to global climate change,particularly in regions affected by habitat fragmentation.

文摘Forests exert significant biogeophysical cooling effects(CE)through processes such as increased evapotranspiration,reduced albedo,and enhanced surface roughness.However,little is known about the extent to which elevation-induced temperature differences bias the observed CE and how this bias interacts with the underlying biogeophysical mechanisms.In this study,we integrated multisensor remote sensing products and Shuttle Radar Topography Mission(SRTM)elevation data on the Google Earth Engine(GEE)platform,and applied a spatial-temporal window regression approach to quantify and correct the sensitivity of land surface temperature(LST)to elevation for forest pixels across China from 2001 to 2022.First,we found that forest LST exhibited a significant negative relationship with elevation,leading to systematic CE overestimation by 0.61 K during the day and 0.60 K at night compared with altitudecorrected CE values.Second,after correction,the CE showed clear spatial heterogeneity,with stronger daytime cooling in tropical(-0.54 K)and temperate forests(-0.24 K),and warming in cold(+0.11 K)and arid regions(+0.53 K),while most regions experienced nighttime warming.Among forest types,evergreen needleleaf forests(ENF)exhibited the strongest daytime cooling(-0.36 K),whereas deciduous broadleaf(DBF)and open shrublands(OS)tended to warm.Third,mechanism analysis revealed that elevation correction strengthened the correlations of CE with leaf area index(LAI)and evapotranspiration,while maintaining a significant negative correlation with albedo,indicating that both radiative and non-radiative processes jointly shape the unbiased CE.These findings provide a more accurate quantification of forest CE by eliminating elevation-induced bias,which providing a more accurate assessment of the climate mitigation potential of forests,which is crucial for developing more effective forest management and ecological restoration strategies.

文摘0 INTRODUCTION.The global availability of digital elevation model(DEM)data,such as 90-m Shuttle Radar Topography Mission(SRTM)DEM and 30-m Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer Global Digital Elevation Model(ASTER GDEM),has been extensively utilized in morphotectonic analyses(e.g.,Wang et al.,2024;Cheng et al.,2018;Pérez-Pe?a et al.,2010;El Hamdouni et al.,2008).
文摘Satellites in LEO (Low Earth Orbits) are closest to the Earth’s surface, having the smallest coverage area compared to other orbits, depending on altitude and elevation angle, and providing relatively too short visibility and communication duration, in range of (2 - 15) minutes. Communication duration represents the key performance indicator for LEO satellite communication systems. For longer communication sessions, more satellites must be involved, and the signals must be handed over from one satellite to the next to provide uninterrupted real-time services to the appropriate user or ground station. This leads to the concept and structure of the satellites organized in the constellation. Communication window (visibility window) depends on the designed horizon plane width determined by licensed elevation angle. For the appropriate calculations, a satellite from the Starlink constellation at altitude of 550 km is considered, observed under licensed designed elevations of 40˚ and 25˚. Calculations under two designed elevation levels confirmed the wider horizon and consequently longer communication under the lower elevation.
