Traditional Chinese medicine with its effectiveness should also have stemmed out from such logic system. This article aims to rearticulate the underlying lucid multi-dimensional logic system, which faded in obscurity only because of time-out loss of the mid-right concept. Retracing this past tacit but important concept could uncover a multi-dimensional system over a point relating to all matters while capturing the central core of the matter. The seemingly unmanageable multidimensional logic was strengthened by verification processes which affirmed its further extensions, and made up the language of the people, the concepts of yin-yang(阴阳), and the development of extensions of Ba Gua(八卦) derivatives, which furthered the interpretation of the space-time properties and Chinese medicine.展开更多

文摘The ancient tacit knowledge behind the logic system permeated the culture and promoted numerous impactful inventions throughout the history. Traditional Chinese medicine with its effectiveness should also have stemmed out from such logic system. This article aims to rearticulate the underlying lucid multi-dimensional logic system, which faded in obscurity only because of time-out loss of the mid-right concept. Retracing this past tacit but important concept could uncover a multi-dimensional system over a point relating to all matters while capturing the central core of the matter.

文摘The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze how and why contradictions recurrently arise regarding how incoming emergency calls at dispatch centers should be assessed,sorted,and handled.The study is based on data from documents,study visits,and interviews with representatives from dispatch operators in a Swedish context.The results identify competing alarm and healthcare logics that are incompatible,which leads to contradictions between the national and regional approaches and,consequently,makes collaboration more difficult and affects the precision of emergency call assessment.The study also shows that the assessments of emergency calls are governed more by which logic is applied than by the assessor's formal competence.The study highlights the importance of feedback and subsequent analysis from the health service to the initial call assessment stage,which can improve the alarm logic's weaknesses with over-triage,without extending the response time.We also focused on the mechanisms required to develop and maintain a long-term sustainable alarm function.

文摘Graduate students universally struggle with vague topics,insufficient innovation,and logical gaps in research proposals,highlighting the need for structured scientific training.This study presents an innovative pedagogical model embedding scholarly literature’s logical architecture into LBL-RBL hybrid teaching,implemented in Kunming Medical University’s Neuropathophysiology course.Targeting the complexity of neurological disease mechanisms,the course integrates lecture-based learning(LBL)and research-based learning(RBL)through a small-cohort framework featuring personalized literature-logic embedding→targeted lecture reinforcement→multi-round proposal iteration.Faculty deconstructed domain literature to establish a three-phase training system(“Logic Demonstration-Methodology Mapping-Proposal Embedding”),systematically merging academic logic with research methodology over 9 weeks.Results demonstrate that this problem-driven approach creates authentic scientific inquiry scenarios,activating student knowledge co-construction and collaborative exploration.It successfully enables dynamic competency progression through“cognitive deconstruction→methodological practice→proposal refinement,”significantly enhancing proposal rigor and innovation.This study offers a scalable dual-track solution for cultivating advanced scientific capabilities in medical graduate education.

文摘Herein,a ternary supramolecular assembly(BPP-BQ?CB[8]-SCD)is successfully constructed by a bromophenylpyridine-tethered-bromoisoquinoline(BPP-BQ),cucurbit[8]uril(CB[8])and sulfonatedβ-cyclodextrin(SCD)via successive assembling way,exhibiting progressively enhanced green roomtemperature phosphorescence(RTP).The self-aggregates of BPP-BQ?CB[8]-SCD accommodate an energy acceptor rhodamine B(Rh B)to form a light-harvesting system(BPP-BQ?CB[8]-SCD@Rh B)with further enhanced yellow long-lifetime luminescence with large Stokes shift based on triplet-singlet F?rster resonance energy transfer(TS-FRET).Crucially,the introduction of a photoactive diarylethene achieves the long-lived photoluminescence of BPP-BQ?CB[8]-SCD@Rh B to be switched with the efficiency of up to98%through logically ordered lowering/enhancing RTP performance of the energy donor and intercepting/restoring TS-FRET pathway,when stimulated by host-vip competition and light illumination in sequence.Moreover,BPP-BQ?CB[8]-SCD@Rh B is evenly doped into polyvinyl alcohol or polyacrylamide to obtain high-performance luminescent films with long afterglow.The abovementioned logically ordered stimulus-switched long-lived emission enables the light-harvesting system in both solution and solid state to be applied in high-security-level information encryption and transformation,and anticounterfeiting.

文摘In recent years,managing rural living environments has become a vital component of the rural revitalization strategy.Jiangsu Province,rich in economic and cultural resources,has accumulated valuable experience in exploring rural environmental governance by integrating culture and tourism.This research analyzes the practical logic of rural environmental governance in Jiangsu from both theoretical and practical perspectives.It emphasizes the importance of integrating culture and tourism to enhance environmental governance while addressing the associated challenges.The results show that the integration of culture and tourism not only enhances rural ecological environments and living facilities but also boosts regional economic development and the preservation of cultural resources.Nevertheless,there are still challenges in aspects such as the collaboration of stakeholders,the establishment of long-term mechanisms,and the application of digital technologies.Based on real cases in Jiangsu,this study suggests optimization strategies and policy recommendations to improve rural environmental governance within the framework of cultural and tourism integration.

文摘Wind energy has emerged as a potential replacement for fossil fuel-based energy sources.To harness maximum wind energy,a crucial decision in the development of an efficient wind farm is the optimal layout design.This layout defines the specific locations of the turbines within the wind farm.The process of finding the optimal locations of turbines,in the presence of various technical and technological constraints,makes the wind farm layout design problem a complex optimization problem.This problem has traditionally been solved with nature-inspired algorithms with promising results.The performance and convergence of nature-inspired algorithms depend on several parameters,among which the algorithm termination criterion plays a crucial role.Timely convergence is an important aspect of efficient algorithm design because an inefficient algorithm results in wasted computational resources,unwarranted electricity consumption,and hardware stress.This study provides an in-depth analysis of several termination criteria while using the genetic algorithm as a test bench,with its application to the wind farm layout design problem while considering various wind scenarios.The performance of six termination criteria is empirically evaluated with respect to the quality of solutions produced and the execution time involved.Due to the conflicting nature of these two attributes,fuzzy logic-based multi-attribute decision-making is employed in the decision process.Results for the fuzzy decision approach indicate that among the various criteria tested,the criterion Phi achieves an improvement in the range of 2.44%to 32.93%for wind scenario 1.For scenario 2,Best-worst termination criterion performed well compared to the other criteria evaluated,with an improvement in the range of 1.2%to 9.64%.For scenario 3,Hitting bound was the best performer with an improvement of 1.16%to 20.93%.

文摘This paper investigates control synthesis for motion planning under conditions of uncertainty,specifically in robot motion and environmental properties,which are modeled using a probabilistic labeled Markov decision process(PL-MDP).To address this,a model-free reinforcement learning(RL)approach is designed to produce a finite-memory control policy that meets complex tasks specified by linear temporal logic(LTL)formulas.Recognizing the presence of uncertainties and potentially conflicting objectives,this study centers on addressing infeasible LTL specifications.A relaxed LTL constraint enables the agent to adapt its motion plan,allowing for partial satisfaction by accounting for necessary task violations.Additionally,a new automaton structure is introduced to increase the density of accepting rewards,facilitating deterministic policy outcomes.The proposed RL framework is rigorously analyzed and prioritizes two key objectives:(1)satisfying the acceptance condition of the relaxed product MDP,and(2)minimizing long-term violation costs.Simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the framework’s effectiveness and robustness.
