Firstly, urgency cost, economic cost, and transportation distance cost were identified as key objectives. The study applied fuzzy theory integration to construct a triangular fuzzy multi-objective site selection decision model. Next, the defuzzification theory transformed the fuzzy decision model into a precise one. Subsequently, an improved Chaotic Quantum Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (CQ-MOHHO) algorithm was proposed to solve the model. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm was shown to rapidly produce high-quality Pareto front solutions and identify optimal site selection schemes for emergency resource distribution centers through case studies. This outcome verified the feasibility and efficacy of the site selection decision model and the CQ-MOHHO algorithm. To further assess CQ-MOHHO’s performance, Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) test functions, commonly used in multi-objective optimization, were employed. Comparisons with Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (MOHHO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) using Generational Distance (GD), Hypervolume (HV), and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metrics showed that CQ-MOHHO achieved superior global search ability, faster convergence, and higher solution quality. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm efficiently achieved a balance between multiple objectives, providing decision-makers with satisfactory solutions and a valuable reference for researching and applying emergency site selection problems.展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,This letter investigates a low-complexity data-driven adaptive proportional-integral-derivative(APID)control scheme to address the output tracking problem of a class of nonlinear systems.First,the relationship between PID parameters is established to reduce the number of adjustable parameters to one.Then,based on the incremental triangular data model,a data-driven APID tracking control(DD-APIDTC)method is proposed to adjust only one controller parameter and one model parameter online,both of which have clear physical meaning.Subsequently,sufficient conditions are derived for the boundedness of the system tracking error.Finally,simulation results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘We optimized the gradation of cold recycled mixture(CRM)based on low-temperature performance.Firstly,the low-temperature crack resistance of CRM with different gradation and emulsified asphalt content was studied by indirect tension(IDT)and semi-circular bending(SCB)test.Thereafter,the low-temperature performance evaluation index suitable for CRM was put forward.Then,the triangular coordinate statistical chart was used to analyze the optimal proportion of three grades of aggregate which are 2.36-4.75 mm,0.075-2.36 mm and below 0.075 mm.The results showed that the W_(f) and G_(f) could distinguish the low-temperature performance of CRM with different mixtures and emulsified asphalt dosage.For cold recycled fine aggregate,2.36-4.75 mm,0.075-2.36 mm and less than 0.075 mm account for 20%-25%,74.3%-80%and 5%-8%,respectively.The CRM with lower void fraction,higher W_(f) and G_(f) could be obtained.Based on the reported findings,it was suggested that the sieve passing percentage of 4.75,2.36,and 0.075 mm of CRM is 45%-55%,27%-52%and 1.5%-5%,respectively.

文摘The intersection is a widely used traffic line structure from the shallow tunnel to the deep roadway,and determining the subsidence hidden danger area of the roof is the key to its stability control.However,applying traditional maximum equivalent span beam(MESB)theory to determine deformation range,peak point,and angle influence poses a challenge.Considering the overall structure of the intersection roof,the maximum equivalent triangular plate(METP)theory is proposed,and its geometric parameter calculation formula and deflection calculation formula are obtained.The application of the two theories in 18 models with different intersection angles,roadway types,and surrounding rock lithology is verified by numerical analysis.The results show that:1)The METP structure of the intersection roof established by the simulation results of each model successfully determined the location of the roof’s high displacement zone;2)The area comparison method of the METP theory can be reasonably explained:①The roof subsidence of the intersection decreases with the increase of the intersection angle;②The roof subsidence at the intersection of different roadway types has a rectangular type>arch type>circular type;③The roof subsidence of the intersection with weak surrounding rock is significantly larger than that of the intersection with hard surrounding rock.According to the application results of the two theories,the four advantages of the METP theory are compared and clarified in the basic assumptions,mechanical models,main viewpoints,and mechanism analysis.The large deformation inducement of the intersection roof is then explored.The J 2 peak area of the roof drives the large deformation of the area,the peak point of which is consistent with the center of gravity position of the METP.Furthermore,the change in the range of this peak is consistent with the change law of the METP’s area.Hence,this theory clarifies the large deformation area of the intersection roof,which provides a clear guiding basis for its initial support design,mid-term monitoring,and late local reinforcement.

文摘Working memory is an executive memory process that includes encoding,maintenance,and retrieval.These processes can be modulated by transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS)with sinusoidal waves.However,little is known about the impact of the rate of current change on working memory.In this study,we aimed to investigate the effects of two types of tACS with different rates of current change on working memory performance and brain activity.We applied a randomized,single-blind design and divided 81 young participants who received triangular wave tACS,sinusoidal wave tACS,or sham stimulation into three groups.Participants performed n-back tasks,and electroencephalograms were recorded before,during,and after active or sham stimulation.Compared to the baseline,working memory performance(accuracy and response time)improved after stimulation under all stimulation conditions.According to drift-diffusion model analysis,triangular wave tACS significantly increased the efficiency of non-target information processing.In addition,compared with sham conditions,triangular wave tACS reduced alpha power oscillations in the occipital lobe throughout the encoding period,while sinusoidal wave tACS increased theta power in the central frontal region only during the later encoding period.The brain network connectivity results showed that triangular wave tACS improved the clustering coefficient,local efficiency,and node degree intensity in the early encoding stage,and these parameters were positively correlated with the non-target drift rate and decision starting point.Our findings on how tACS modulates working memory indicate that triangular wave tACS significantly enhances brain network connectivity during the early encoding stage,demonstrating an improvement in the efficiency of working memory processing.In contrast,sinusoidal wave tACS increased the theta power during the later encoding stage,suggesting its potential critical role in late-stage information processing.These findings provide valuable insights into the potential mechanisms by which tACS modulates working memory.

文摘In endoscopic surgery,the limited field of view and the nonlinear deformation of organs caused by patient movement and respiration significantly complicate the modeling and accurate tracking of soft tissue surfaces from endoscopic image sequences.To address these challenges,we propose a novel Hybrid Triangular Matching(HTM)modeling framework for soft tissue feature tracking.Specifically,HTM constructs a geometric model of the detected blobs on the soft tissue surface by applying the Watershed algorithm for blob detection and integrating the Delaunay triangulation with a newly designed triangle search segmentation algorithm.By leveraging barycentric coordinate theory,HTMrapidly and accurately establishes inter-frame correspondences within the triangulated model,enabling stable feature tracking without explicit markers or extensive training data.Experimental results on endoscopic sequences demonstrate that this model-based tracking approach achieves lower computational complexity,maintains robustness against tissue deformation,and provides a scalable geometric modeling method for real-time soft tissue tracking in surgical computer vision.
文摘Objective:To explore the clinical effect of improved incision in the extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth.Methods:160 patients who were treated in our hospital from October,2024 to April,2025 and had their mandibular impacted wisdom teeth removed according to the doctor’s advice were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The observation group used modified incision,while the control group used traditional triangular incision.The operation time,intraoperative visual analogue scale(VAS)pain score,pain VAS score on the 1st,2nd and 3rd day after operation,facial swelling on the 2nd day after operation,mouth opening limitation on the 2nd day after operation and the incidence of dry socket after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups(p>0.05).The VAS score of pain in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group at each time point during and after operation(p<0.05).On the second day after operation,the facial swelling and mouth opening limitation in the observation group were significantly lighter than those in the control group(p<0.05).The incidence of dry socket in the observation group was 1.25%(1/80),which was significantly lower than that in the control group(8.75%,7/80),and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05).Conclusion:The application of modified triangular incision in the extraction of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth can effectively relieve the pain during and after operation,reduce postoperative facial swelling and mouth opening limitation,and reduce the incidence of dry socket.

文摘Surface irregularities,such as hills and ridges,can significantly amplify ground motion caused by earthquakes.Therefore,in this study,we propose an analytical solution model to investigate the interaction between an asymmetric triangular hill on Earth and SH waves.Firstly,based on the development of wave functions and regional matching techniques,we introduce a semi-circular artificial auxiliary boundary,dividing the solution model into a semi-infinite body containing a semi-circular depression and an asymmetric fan-shaped region.Secondly,we derive the domain function form applicable to solving asymmetric problems.Utilizing the theory of complex variables,we establish a well-posed matrix for solving domain functions within the same coordinate system.Numerical results demonstrate that the scattering of SH waves by a protuberance is jointly influenced by the geometric parameters of the hill and the angle of incidence.Additionally,the frequency of the incident wave also has a certain degree of impact on the displacement amplitude.This study elucidates the scattering mechanism of SH waves by complex boundaries,providing a theoretical reference for building site selection and seismic design.In practical problems,the asymmetric assumption is more applicable than the symmetry assumption.
文摘Addressing the complex issue of emergency resource distribution center site selection in uncertain environments, this study was conducted to comprehensively consider factors such as uncertainty parameters and the urgency of demand at disaster-affected sites. Firstly, urgency cost, economic cost, and transportation distance cost were identified as key objectives. The study applied fuzzy theory integration to construct a triangular fuzzy multi-objective site selection decision model. Next, the defuzzification theory transformed the fuzzy decision model into a precise one. Subsequently, an improved Chaotic Quantum Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (CQ-MOHHO) algorithm was proposed to solve the model. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm was shown to rapidly produce high-quality Pareto front solutions and identify optimal site selection schemes for emergency resource distribution centers through case studies. This outcome verified the feasibility and efficacy of the site selection decision model and the CQ-MOHHO algorithm. To further assess CQ-MOHHO’s performance, Zitzler-Deb-Thiele (ZDT) test functions, commonly used in multi-objective optimization, were employed. Comparisons with Multi-Objective Harris Hawks Optimization (MOHHO), Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II), and Multi-Objective Grey Wolf Optimizer (MOGWO) using Generational Distance (GD), Hypervolume (HV), and Inverted Generational Distance (IGD) metrics showed that CQ-MOHHO achieved superior global search ability, faster convergence, and higher solution quality. The CQ-MOHHO algorithm efficiently achieved a balance between multiple objectives, providing decision-makers with satisfactory solutions and a valuable reference for researching and applying emergency site selection problems.

文摘Let R be a commutative ring with unity and T be a triangular algebra over R.Let a sequence G={G_n}_(n∈N)of nonlinear mappings G_n:T→T associated with nonlinear Lie triple higher derivations∆={δ_n}_(n∈N)by local actions be a generalized Lie triple higher derivation by local actions satisfying Gn([[x,y],z])=Σ_(i+j+k=n)[[Gi(x),δj(y)],δk(z)]for all x,y,z∈T with xyz=0.Under some mild conditions on T,we prove in this paper that every nonlinear generalized Lie triple higher derivation by local actions on triangular algebras is proper.As an application we shall give a characterization of nonlinear generalized Lie triple higher derivations by local actions on upper triangular matrix algebras and nest algebras,respectively.At the same time,it also improves some interesting conclusions,such as[J.Algebra Appl.22(3),2023,Paper No.2350059],[Axioms,11,2022,1–16].
文摘Background:An urban medical group in Dapeng New District was established in 2017 with the objective of enhancing outcomes for common diseases and reinforcing primary care by integrating high‐level hospitals with primary health services.This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the urban medical group using the triangular value chain framework.Methods:The evaluation was conducted using the Donabedian model,focusing on three key dimensions:safety and quality,accessibility,and affordability.Longitudinal data were collected from 2016 to 2022 through government annual reports,the medical insurance bureau,and hospital information systems.Preprogram and postprogram outcome measurements were compared to assess differences and trends,providing a clear picture of the program's effectiveness.Results:Accessibility improved significantly,with the number of hospital beds per 1000 residents increasing from 2.62 in 2017 to 3.76 in 2022.The availability of general practitioners(GPs)also rose markedly,from 0 per 10,000 residents in 2017 to 6.27 in 2022.Regarding safety and quality,the proportion of complex medical procedures conducted within the New District expanded substantially,from 7.35%in 2017 to 38.11%in 2021.Additionally,there was an enhancement in the standardized management rate of chronic diseases.Affordability assessments showed that the proportion of medical income derived from the medical insurance fund increased by nearly 22.81 percentage points between 2012 and 2021.By 2021,75.02%of medical patients were covered by medical insurance,representing an increase of approximately 44 percentage points from 31.19%in 2012.Conclusions:The implementation of the urban medical group in Dapeng New District has led to substantial improvements in healthcare accessibility,safety and quality,and affordability.Future initiatives will focus on advancing the“Dapeng Mode”to generate exemplary healthcare outcomes and minimize disparities in basic health services and health status between urban and rural populations.The reform agenda includes piloting payment reforms and innovative payment models within the Dapeng group,complemented by a health assessment and performance incentive system aimed at encouraging healthcare institutions to prioritize health management.

文摘The cascaded H-bridge(CHB)multilevel inverter has become one of the most widely used PV inverter topologies due to its high voltage processing capability and high quality output power.Grid-connected PV system due to external conditions such as PV panel shading,PV component damage,can lead to PV output power imbalance,triggering the system over-modulation phenomenon,which in turn leads to grid-connected current waveform distortion.To this end,an improved power balance control strategy is proposed in this paper.Firstly,according to the different modulation ratios of each H-bridge module,a suitable harmonic injection method is used to keep the peak value of the modulating waveform always at 1;then an inverse triangular trapezoidal waveform is injected to optimize the modulating waveform,which further improves the output voltage waveform,reduces the THD value of the grid-connected currents,and maintains the stability of power inside the CHB system.Purpose.Simulation verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of this power balance control strategy.

文摘This paper presents an analysis of an equilateral triangular array formation initialization for space-based gravitational wave observatory(GWO)near Lagrange points in the circular-restricted three-body problem.A stable configuration is essential for the continuous observation of gravitational waves(GWs).However,the motion near the collinear libration points is highly unstable.This problem is examined by output regulation theory.Using the tracking aspect,the equilateral triangular array formation is established in two periods and the fuel consumption is calculated.Furthermore,the natural evolution of the formation without control input is analyzed,and the effective stability duration is quantified to determine the timing of control interventions.Finally,to observe the GWs in same direction with different frequency bands,scale reconfiguration is employed.

文摘In response to the problems of low sampling efficiency,strong randomness of sampling points,and the tortuous shape of the planned path in the traditional rapidly-exploring random tree(RRT)algorithm and bidirectional RRT algorithm used for unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)path planning in complex environments,an improved bidirectional RRT algorithm was proposed.The algorithm firstly adopted a goal-oriented strategy to guide the sampling points towards the target point,and then the artificial potential field acted on the random tree nodes to avoid collision with obstacles and reduced the length of the search path,and the random tree node growth also combined the UAV’s own flight constraints,and by combining the triangulation method to remove the redundant node strategy and the third-order B-spline curve for the smoothing of the trajectory,the planned path was better.The planned paths were more optimized.Finally,the simulation experiments in complex and dynamic environments showed that the algorithm effectively improved the speed of trajectory planning and shortened the length of the trajectory,and could generate a safe,smooth and fast trajectory in complex environments,which could be applied to online trajectory planning.
文摘The effects of climate change are becoming more evident nowadays,and the environmental stress imposed on crops has become more severe.Farmers around the globe continually seek ways to gain insights into crop health and provide mitigation as early as possible.Phenotyping is a non-destructive method for assessing crop responses to environmental stresses and can be performed using airborne systems.Unmanned Aerial Systems(UAS)have significantly contributed to high-throughput phenotyping andmade the process rapid,efficient,and non-invasive for collecting large-scale agronomic data.Because of the high complexity and cost of specialized equipment used in aerial phenotyping,such as multispectral and hyperspectral cameras as well as lidar,this study proposes a framework for implementing aerial phenotyping where chlorophyll estimation,leaf count,and coverage are determined using the RGB(Red,Green and Blue)camera native to a UAS.Thestudy proposes the Dynamic Coefficient Triangular Greenness Index(DCTGI)for aerial phenotyping.Evaluation of the proposed DCTGI includes the correlation with chlorophyll content estimated using a Soil Plant Analysis Development(SPAD)chlorophyll meter on randomly sampled Liberica coffee seedlings.Analysis revealed a strong relationship between DCTGI values and chlorophyll estimates derived from SPAD measurements,with a Pearson’s correlation coefficient of 0.912.However,the study didn’t implement tissue-level validation and field-scale temporal analysis to assess seasonal variability.In addition,the SPAD meter provided the approximate nitrogen content together with the chlorohyll estimate.
