文摘This paper proposes a passive control method to reduce peak values of slipstream and turbulent kinetic energy in a high-speed train wake by attaching vortex generators(VGs)onto the upper surface of the tail car.The impact of the VGs is assessed through the improved delayed detached eddy simulations(IDDES)after validating predictions against previous experimental measurements and other numerical predictions for the base case.The simulations indicate that strategically installed VGs can reduce the average slipstream velocity(U slipstream)and the upper limit of slipstream velocity(U_(slipstream,max))by~17%and~15%,respectively,as well as moving the peaks downstream by approximately train height,thus reducing the danger posed by slipstream to waiting passengers and trackside workers.Analysis shows that the wake turbulent kinetic energy diminishes as the vortex generators decelerate the downwash flow and reduce shear production in the wake.It is also found that the presence of VGs significantly impacts the flow on the upper surface near the tail by modifying the unsteady trailing longitudinal vortices through the formation of additional counter-rotating longitudinal vortices from the VGs.These latter vortices prevent the merging of vortical airflow around the trailing nose tip,which is otherwise induced by the longitudinal vortex of the train.They also reduce vortex intensity through cross-annihilation and cross diffusion as the wake advects downstream,limiting outwards advection through interaction with the image pair,and contributing to a decrease in the peak slipstream value.The method proposed offers a simple approach to wake control leading to significant slipstream benefits.
文摘Background:This paper aimed to systematically review the literature regarding the effects of resistance training(RT)performed at longer-muscle length(LML)versus shorter-muscle length(SML)on proxy measurements for longitudinal hypertrophy.Methods:We included studies that satisfied the following criteria:(1)be a resistance training intervention with a comparison of LML vs SML-RT;(2)assess both fascicle length(FL)and muscle size pre-and post-intervention;(3)involve healthy adults aged≥18 years;(4)be published in an English-language journal,and;(5)have a minimum training intervention duration of 4 weeks.Three databases were searched in February 2024(Google Scholar,PubMed/Medline,Scopus)for relevant articles,alongside'forward'and'backward'citation searching of articles included and additions via authors'personal knowledge.The results of studies were described narratively,compared,and contrasted.Eight studies met the inclusion criteria,totaling a sample size of 120.Results:Our results suggest that both muscle size and fascicle length increases may be greater following LML-RT versus SML-RT,suggesting LML-RT may lead to greater longitudinal hypertrophy than SML-RT.Notably,evidence is largely mixed;no studies to date have attempted to estimate serial sarcomere number changes from LML versus SML-RT,and all but one study used linear extrapolation methods to estimate FL,which has questionable validity.Therefore,the structural adaptations underlying hypertrophy from LML-RT remain undetermined.Conclusion:In conclusion,results suggest that LML-RT may be superior to SML-RT for inducing muscle hypertrophy and,more specifically,longitudinal growth,though evidence is mixed.
文摘The purpose of this article is to contextualize the world’s oldest art song directly associated with the railway-Travelling Song by the Russian composer Mikhail Glinka(1804-1857).The composer’s personal circumstances surrounding the creation of the song are examined,along with the historical and technical background of that era.While railways have always been associated with technological progress,new solutions for high-power engines,and the accuracy of arrival and departure timetables,the poetic and romantic side of train travel and railways in general has not yet received sufficient academic coverage.This essay is intended to partially fill this gap,though it rather outlines directions for possible development of its topical range.Each of the suggested reference points and stories is in itself an example of how the arts reflected the inspiration that cutting-edge technological advances of the period were exerting on artists,musicians,and other creative individuals.

文摘The axle box bearings of high-speed trains often operate in extremely harsh environments,bearing loads from different directions.Long-term operation and frequent changes in working conditions can easily lead to axle box bearing failures.Therefore,it is extremely important to study the mechanism of axle box bearings.Firstly,the medium of thermal deformation establishes a coupling relationship between the system dynamics model and the thermal grid model,and then obtains the thermal force coupling model of the high-speed train axle box bearing.The coupling model is validated from the perspectives of system dynamics response and temperature response,proving its effectiveness in system dynamics response and temperature characteristic response.Comparing the coupling model with the dynamics model,it is found that thermal deformation complicates the dynamic re-sponse.Finally,using the Lundberg-Palmgren(L-P)bearing fatigue calculation method and damage accumu-lation theory,the bearing fatigue life is calculated,and it is found that thermal deformation deteriorates the bearing operating environment,reducing the bearing fatigue life.Finally,by comparing the bearing fatigue life under different working conditions,it is concluded that the faster the vehicle speed,the greater the load,and the smaller the initial radial clearance of the bearing,the fatigue life of the bearing is reduced.The shorter the lifespan.
文摘[Objectives]To investigate the clinical efficacy of core stability training combined with conventional rehabilitation in the functional recovery of patients suffering from chronic low back pain.[Methods]A randomized controlled trial design was employed in this study.Ninety patients with chronic low back pain were recruited and randomly assigned to either a control group(n=45),which received conventional rehabilitation,or an experimental group(n=45),which received conventional rehabilitation combined with core stability training.Both groups underwent treatment for 6 weeks.Assessments were conducted using the visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI),and finger-to-floor test prior to treatment,6 weeks following treatment,and during the follow-up period,respectively.[Results]Prior to treatment,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two patient groups in terms of general information and various baseline measurements(P>0.05).Following 6 weeks of treatment and throughout the follow-up period,both groups demonstrated significant improvements in VAS scores,ODI scores,and lumbar anteflexion range of motion compared to baseline measurements(P<0.05).Notably,the magnitude of improvement in the experimental group exceeded that of the control group,with this inter-group difference reaching statistical significance(P<0.05).No serious adverse reactions were reported during the treatment process.[Conclusions]Core stability training combined with conventional rehabilitation can significantly enhance the alleviation of pain and functional impairments in patients suffering from chronic low back pain.This approach holds valuable implications for the optimization of rehabilitation treatment protocols.

文摘Purpose-This study investigates the impact of flagship trains on high-speed railway capacity utilization and develops a brand value-oriented optimization framework that balances service quality enhancement with operational efficiency.Design/methodology/approach-A mathematical optimization model based on integer programming is developed,incorporating flagship train constraints into capacity optimization.Case studies compare scenarios with and without flagship train considerations using the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway data across 20 experimental groups.Findings-Operating flagship trains with hourly departure constraints results in an average decrease of 0.9 trains and an 8.4%reduction in capacity utilization rate.When scheduling 2 flagship trains within a 2-h timeframe,capacity utilization decreases from 86.43%to 83.73%,quantifying the trade-off between brand positioning and operational capacity.Originality/value-This research provides the first quantitative framework for brand value-oriented railway capacity optimization,establishing clear definitions for flagship trains and mathematical foundations for evaluating service quality versus efficiency trade-offs.The findings offer practical decision support for railway operators balancing competitive positioning with capacity maximization.
文摘BACKGROUND Orthopaedic surgical education has traditionally depended on the apprenticeship model of“see one,do one,teach one”.However,reduced operative exposure,stricter work-hour regulations,medicolegal constraints,and patient safety concerns have constrained its practicality.Simulation-based training has become a reliable,safe,and cost-efficient alternative.Dry lab techniques,especially virtual and augmented reality,make up 78%of current dry lab research,whereas wet labs still set the standard for anatomical realism.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness,limitations,and future directions of wet and dry lab simulation in orthopaedic training.METHODS A scoping review was carried out across four databases-PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,and EBSCOhost-up to 2025.Medical Subject Headings included:"Orthopaedic Education","Wet Lab","Dry Lab","Simulation Training","Virtual Reality",and"Surgical Procedure".Eligible studies focused on orthopaedic or spinal surgical education,employed wet or dry lab techniques,and assessed training effectiveness.Exclusion criteria consisted of non-English publications,abstracts only,non-orthopaedic research,and studies unrelated to simulation.Two reviewers independently screened titles,abstracts,and full texts,resolving discrepancies with a third reviewer.RESULTS From 1851 records,101 studies met inclusion:78 on dry labs,7 on wet labs,4 on both.Virtual reality(VR)simulations were most common,with AI increasingly used for feedback and assessment.Cadaveric training remains the gold standard for accuracy and tactile feedback,while dry labs-especially VR-offer scalability,lower cost(40%-60%savings in five studies),and accessibility for novices.Senior residents prefer wet labs for complex tasks;juniors favour dry labs for basics.Challenges include limited transferability data,lack of standard outcome metrics,and ethical concerns about cadaver use and AI assessment.CONCLUSION Wet and dry labs each have unique strengths in orthopaedic training.A hybrid approach combining both,supported by standardised assessments and outcome studies,is most effective.Future efforts should aim for uniform reporting,integrating new technologies,and policy support for hybrid curricula to enhance skills and patient care.

文摘The safe driving and operation of trains is a necessary condition for ensuring the safe operation of trains.In particular,heavy-haul trains are characterized by the difficulty in driving and operation.Considering the uncertainties in train driving and operation,this paper analyzes the relationship between the safety of heavy-haul electric locomotive hauled trains and driving and operation.It studies the auxiliary intelligent driving safety operation control methods.Through K-means to identify the characteristics of drivers'driving manipulation,the hidden Markov model adaptively adjusts the train driving and operation sequence,and conducts auxiliary driving reconstruction for heavy-haul locomotive driving and operation.Based on the train running curve and the locomotive traction/braking characteristics,it smoothly controls the exertion of the traction/braking force of heavy-haul locomotives,thereby optimizing the driving safety control of heavy-haul trains in the vehicle-environment-track system.Finally,the train operation simulation and optimized driving verification are carried out by simulating some track sections.The results show that the proposed method can correct and pre-optimize driving operations,improving the smoothness of heavy-haul trains by approximately 10%.It verifies the effectiveness of the proposed train assisted driving control reconstruction method,facilitating the smooth and safe operation of heavy-haul trains.
文摘Stroke patients experience varying degrees of upper limb functional impairment.Although bilateral arm training can help stroke patients recover movement after stroke,little is known about the way in which the brain and muscles work together during this type of training.To address this,we conducted a cross-sectional study at The Seventh Affiliated Hospital,Sun Yat-sen University in China,where we observed the connection between brain and muscle activity during bilateral upper limb training in 21 stroke patients and 17 healthy controls.We used functional near-infrared spectroscopy and surface electromyography to measure changes in cerebral cortex oxygenation and upper limb muscle contraction signals,respectively.The results showed that,compared with the healthy control group,stroke patients had reduced functional connectivity and more irregular muscle activity in the affected flexor muscle during bilateral upper limb training.Moreover,we found a significant correlation between the surface electromyographic signal characteristics of upper limb muscles and cerebral oxygenation indicators of multiple brain regions in stroke patients.These findings indicate that bilateral upper limb training is an effective rehabilitation method that improves upper limb motor function in stroke patients by promoting brain functional connectivity and improving muscle activity patterns.
文摘[Objectives]To investigate the clinical effects of implementing structured phased rehabilitation training,in addition to conventional rehabilitation,on shoulder joint function and pain alleviation in patients with rotator cuff injuries managed conservatively.[Methods]Eighty patients diagnosed with rotator cuff injury were selected and randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group,each comprising 40 individuals.The control group received conventional rehabilitation treatment,whereas the experimental group underwent phased rehabilitation training in addition to the conventional treatment for 6 weeks.Assessments were conducted prior to treatment,6 weeks following treatment,and 8 weeks after the completion of treatment(follow-up period).The visual analogue scale(VAS)was employed to evaluate pain intensity,the Constant-Murley score was utilized to assess shoulder joint function,and the shoulder joint range of motion was measured.[Results]Prior to treatment,no statistically significant differences were observed between the two patient groups across all measured indicators(P>0.05).Following 6 weeks of treatment and throughout the follow-up period,both groups exhibited significant reductions in VAS scores compared to baseline measurements,alongside improvements in Constant-Murley scores and shoulder joint range of motion(P<0.05).Furthermore,the magnitude of improvement in the experimental group was significantly greater than that in the control group(P<0.05).[Conclusions]Phased rehabilitation training can enhance shoulder joint function and alleviate pain in patients with rotator cuff injuries beyond the effects of conventional rehabilitation treatment,demonstrating notable clinical application value.

文摘Objective Cerebral venous outflow disorders(CVOD)can impair cerebral perfusion and produce diverse,often debilitating symptoms,substantially reducing quality of life.Intermittent hypoxiahyperoxia training(IHHT)has demonstrated therapeutic potential across various pathologies and may represent a promising non-pharmacological approach for CVOD management.Methods Patients with imaging-confirmed CVOD underwent 14 IHHT sessions,each comprising four cycles of 10-minute hypoxia(11%O_(2))stimulation and 20-minute hyperoxia(38%O_(2)).Physiological parameters and adverse events were monitored throughout the intervention.Clinical scales,24-hour ambulatory blood pressure,blood tests,jugular ultrasound,and perfusion imaging were assessed preand post-intervention.Results No participants experienced intolerable discomfort or severe adverse events;vital signs remained within normal ranges.No significant changes were observed in 24-hour blood pressure,blood cell counts,lipid profiles,or other blood markers.Notably,60%of patients(n=12)reported overall symptom improvement on the Patient Global Impression of Change scale.Headache severity,as measured by the visual analogue scale,significantly decreased(6.33±1.22 vs.4.89±2.03,P=0.016).In patients with internal jugular vein(IJV)stenosis,significant improvements were observed in regional cerebral blood flow(including the insula,occipital lobe,internal capsule,and lenticula)and left J3-segment IJV flow volume(107.27[47.50,160.00]vs.140.83[55.00,210.00]mL/min,P=0.011).Conclusion The current IHHT protocol is safe and well-tolerated in patients with CVOD.IHHT may alleviate CVOD-related symptoms by improving oxygen saturation,cerebral perfusion,and venous outflow pattern,supporting its potential as a non-invasive therapeutic strategy.
