Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study with data collection over a period of 10 years;The data collection was retrospective over nine years from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021 and prospective over one year from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. This study focused on all patients whose death was noted on arrival during pregnancy, labor or in the postpartum period in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of Fousseyni Daou Hospital. Confidentiality and anonymity were respected. The processing and analysis of statistical data were carried out using SPSS 20.0 software. Results: During the study period, we recorded 93 cases of death noted on arrival out of a total of 606 maternal deaths, i.e., a frequency of 15.34%. The average age was 27 years with the extremes of 20 years and 34 years. They came mainly from rural areas at 74%, were married at 82%, uneducated at 51.6%, housewives at 87.1%. The profession of the spouses is worker at 37.6%. In our sample, evacuated patients were the most represented with 75.3%. Postpartum hemorrhage was the most frequent reason for admission with 22.6%. The deceased patients had no medical history at 86%. In our series, 59.5% of the deceased patients had not had antenatal consultations (CPN). Patients who died on arrival and who had given birth at home were the most represented with 54.8%. Deaths from immediate postpartum hemorrhage complicated by shock were the most frequent with 25.8% followed by severe anemia 8.6%. Deaths were mainly due to direct obstetric causes at 76.3%. In these deaths observed on arrival, the 2nd delay was identified at 48.4%. Conclusion: Maternal deaths observed on arrival remain frequent in the Kayes region. The main causes are immediate postpartum hemorrhage and anemia, which are almost all preventable causes of maternal death following the 1st and 2nd delay.展开更多

In this article we study the generation mechanism of NMO stretch, demonstrate that the conventional travel time equation cannot accurately describe the travel time of the samples within the same reflection wavelet. As a result, conventional NMO inversion based on the travel time of the wavelet＇s central point occurs with errors. In this article, a travel time equation for the samples within the same wavelet is reconstructed through our theoretical derivation （the shifted first arrival point travel time equation）, a new NMO inversion method based on the wavelet＇s first arrival point is proposed. While dealing with synthetic data, the semblance coefficient algorithm equation is modified so that wavelet first arrival points can be extracted. After that, NMO inversion based on the new velocity analysis is adopted on shot offset records. The precision of the results is significantly improved compared with the traditional method. Finally, the block move NMO correction based on the first arrival points travel times is adopted on long offset records and non-stretched results are achieved, which verify the proposed new equation.展开更多

The spatially distributed sparsity of the targets in the background makes com- pressive sensing （CS） desirable for DOA estimation. A spatial CS framework is presented, which links the DOA estimation problem to support recovery from a known over-complete dictionary. A modified statistical model is developed to ac- curately represent the intra-block correlation of the received signal. A structural sparsity Bayesian learning algorithm is proposed for the sparse recovery problem. The proposed algorithm, which exploits intra-signal correlation, is capable being applied to limited data support and low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） scene. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has less computation load compared to the classical Bayesian algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a more accurate DOA estimation than the traditional multiple signal classification （MUSIC） algorithm and other CS recovery algorithms.展开更多

Existed methods cannot solve the problem effectively for ignoring the traffic delay jitter. In this paper,a three-stage mixed model is proposed for bus arrival time prediction. The first stage is pattern training. In this stage,the traffic delay jitter patterns(TDJP)are mined by K nearest neighbor and K-means in the historical traffic time data. The second stage is the single-step prediction,which is based on real-time adjusted Kalman filter with a modification of historical TDJP. In the third stage,as the influence of historical law is increasing in long distance prediction,we combine the single-step prediction dynamically with Markov historical transfer model to conduct the multi-step prediction. The experimental results show that the proposed single-step prediction model performs better in accuracy and efficiency than short-term traffic flow prediction and dynamic Kalman filter. The multi-step prediction provides a higher level veracity and reliability in travel time forecasting than short-term traffic flow and historical traffic pattern prediction models.展开更多

In the model, the total bus travel time was divided into three parts: running time, dwell time and intersection delay time, and the data were divided into three categories of historical data, static data and real-time data. The bus arrival time was obtained by fusion computing the real-time data in perception layer together with historical data and static data in collaborative layer. The validity of the collaborative model was verified by the data of a typical urban bus line in Shanghai, and 1538 sets of data were collected and analyzed from three different perspectives. By comparing the experimental results with the actual results, it is shown that the experimental results are with higher prediction accuracy, and the collaborative prediction model adopted is able to meet the demand for bus arrival prediction.展开更多

In order to improve a facility's capabilities and explore the possibility of performing high-resolution time-resolved experiments, a beam arrival time resolution under 100 fs is required. In this article, a novel beam arrival time monitor(BAM)equipped with two cavities has been designed and a beam flight time measurement scheme based on the BAM prototype has been proposed to estimate phase jitter in the signal measurement system. The two BAM cavities work at different frequencies and the frequency difference is designed to be 35 MHz. Therefore, a self-mixing intermediate frequency signal can be generated using the two cavities. The measured beam flight time shows a temporal deviation of 37 fs(rms).展开更多

The arrival time greatly affects the accuracy of the channel wave inversion and the computed tomography （CT） result. However, because the signal-to-noise ratio of in-seam seismic data is reduced by the long wavelength and strong frequency dispersion, accurately timing the arrival of channel waves is extremely difficult. For this purpose, we propose a method that automatically picks up the arrival time of channel waves based on multi-channel constraints. We first estimate the Jaccard similarity coefficient of two ray paths, then apply it as a weight coefficient for stacking the multi- channel dispersion spectra. The reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in an actual data application. Most importantly, the method increases the degree of automation and the pickup precision of the channel-wave arrival time.展开更多

In this method, virtual sensors are constructed based on the fact that the steering vectors of wideband chirp signals are linear and vary with time. And the randon Wignersville distribution （RWVD） of real sensors and virtual sensors are calculated to yield the new time-invariable steering vectors, furthermore, the noise and cross terms are suppressed. In addition, the multiple chirp signals are selected by their time-frequency points. The cost of computation is lower than the common AOA estimation methods of wideband sources due to nonrequirement of frequency focusing, interpolating and matrix decomposition, including subspace decomposition. Under the lower signal noise ratio （SNR） condition, the proposed method exhibits better precision than the method of frequency focusing （FF）. The proposed method can be further applied to nonuniform linear array （NLA） since it is not confined to the array geometry. Simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the proposed method.展开更多

A structural sparsity Bayesian learning algorithm is proposed for the sparse recovery problem. The proposed algorithm, which exploits intra-signal correlation, is capable being applied to limited data support and low signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） scene. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has less computation load compared to the classical Bayesian algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a more accurate DOA estimation than the traditional multiple signal classification （MUSIC） algorithm and other CS recovery algorithms.

文摘Nonuniform linear arrays,such as coprime array and nested array,have received great attentions because of the increased degrees of freedom(DOFs)and weakened mutual coupling.In this paper,inspired by the existing coprime array,we propose a high-order extended coprime array(HoECA)for improved direction of arrival(DOA)estimation.We first derive the closed-form expressions for the range of consecutive lags.Then,by changing the inter-element spacing of a uniform linear array(ULA),three cases are proposed and discussed.It is indicated that the HoECA can obtain the largest number of consecutive lags when the spacing takes the maximum value.Finally,by comparing it with the other sparse arrays,the optimized HoECA enjoys a larger number of consecutive lags with mitigating mutual coupling.Simulation results are shown to evaluate the superiority of HoECA over the others in terms of DOF,mutual coupling leakage and estimation accuracy.

文摘Due to the significant effect of abnormal arrivals on localization accuracy,a novel acoustic emission(AE)source localization method using clustering detection to eliminate abnormal arrivals is proposed in the paper.Firstly,iterative weight estimation is utilized to obtain accurate equation residuals.Secondly,according to the distribution of equation residuals,clustering detection is used to identify and exclude abnormal arrivals.Thirdly,the AE source coordinate is recalculated with remaining normal arrivals.Experimental results of pencil-lead breaks indicate that the proposed method can achieve a better localization result with and without abnormal arrivals.The results of simulation tests further demonstrate that the proposed method possesses higher localization accuracy and robustness under different anomaly ratios and scales;even with abnormal arrivals as high as 30%,the proposed localization method still holds a correct detection rate of 91.85%.

文摘How to predict the bus arrival time accurately is a crucial problem to be solved in Internet of Vehicle. Existed methods cannot solve the problem effectively for ignoring the traffic delay jitter. In this paper,a three-stage mixed model is proposed for bus arrival time prediction. The first stage is pattern training. In this stage,the traffic delay jitter patterns(TDJP)are mined by K nearest neighbor and K-means in the historical traffic time data. The second stage is the single-step prediction,which is based on real-time adjusted Kalman filter with a modification of historical TDJP. In the third stage,as the influence of historical law is increasing in long distance prediction,we combine the single-step prediction dynamically with Markov historical transfer model to conduct the multi-step prediction. The experimental results show that the proposed single-step prediction model performs better in accuracy and efficiency than short-term traffic flow prediction and dynamic Kalman filter. The multi-step prediction provides a higher level veracity and reliability in travel time forecasting than short-term traffic flow and historical traffic pattern prediction models.

文摘To improve the accuracy of real-time public transport information release system, a collaborative prediction model was proposed based on cyber-physical systems architecture. In the model, the total bus travel time was divided into three parts: running time, dwell time and intersection delay time, and the data were divided into three categories of historical data, static data and real-time data. The bus arrival time was obtained by fusion computing the real-time data in perception layer together with historical data and static data in collaborative layer. The validity of the collaborative model was verified by the data of a typical urban bus line in Shanghai, and 1538 sets of data were collected and analyzed from three different perspectives. By comparing the experimental results with the actual results, it is shown that the experimental results are with higher prediction accuracy, and the collaborative prediction model adopted is able to meet the demand for bus arrival prediction.

文摘Free electron lasers provide high-power and ultrashort pulses with extreme brightness. In order to improve a facility's capabilities and explore the possibility of performing high-resolution time-resolved experiments, a beam arrival time resolution under 100 fs is required. In this article, a novel beam arrival time monitor(BAM)equipped with two cavities has been designed and a beam flight time measurement scheme based on the BAM prototype has been proposed to estimate phase jitter in the signal measurement system. The two BAM cavities work at different frequencies and the frequency difference is designed to be 35 MHz. Therefore, a self-mixing intermediate frequency signal can be generated using the two cavities. The measured beam flight time shows a temporal deviation of 37 fs(rms).

文摘Accurately detecting the arrival time of a channel wave in a coal seam is very important for in-seam seismic data processing. The arrival time greatly affects the accuracy of the channel wave inversion and the computed tomography （CT） result. However, because the signal-to-noise ratio of in-seam seismic data is reduced by the long wavelength and strong frequency dispersion, accurately timing the arrival of channel waves is extremely difficult. For this purpose, we propose a method that automatically picks up the arrival time of channel waves based on multi-channel constraints. We first estimate the Jaccard similarity coefficient of two ray paths, then apply it as a weight coefficient for stacking the multi- channel dispersion spectra. The reasonableness and effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in an actual data application. Most importantly, the method increases the degree of automation and the pickup precision of the channel-wave arrival time.

文摘In seismic data processing,picking of the P-wave first arrivals takes up plenty of time and labor,and its accuracy plays a key role in imaging seismic structures.Based on the convolution neural network(CNN),we propose a new method to pick up the P-wave first arrivals automatically.Emitted from MINI28 vibroseis in the Jingdezhen seismic experiment,the vertical component of seismic waveforms recorded by EPS 32-bit portable seismometers are used for manually picking up the first arrivals(a total of 7242).Based on these arrivals,we establish the training and testing sets,including 25,290 event samples and 710,616 noise samples(length of each sample:2 s).After 3,000 steps of training,we obtain a convergent CNN model,which can automatically classify seismic events and noise samples with high accuracy(>99%).With the trained CNN model,we scan continuous seismic records and take the maximum output(probability of a seismic event)as the P-wave first arrival time.Compared with STA/LTA(short time average/long time average),our method shows higher precision and stronger anti-noise ability,especially with the low SNR seismic data.This CNN method is of great significance for promoting the intellectualization of seismic data processing,improving the resolution of seismic imaging,and promoting the joint inversion of active and passive sources.
文摘To estimate the angle of arrivals （AOA） of wideband chirp sources, a new timo-frequency algorithm is proposed. In this method, virtual sensors are constructed based on the fact that the steering vectors of wideband chirp signals are linear and vary with time. And the randon Wignersville distribution （RWVD） of real sensors and virtual sensors are calculated to yield the new time-invariable steering vectors, furthermore, the noise and cross terms are suppressed. In addition, the multiple chirp signals are selected by their time-frequency points. The cost of computation is lower than the common AOA estimation methods of wideband sources due to nonrequirement of frequency focusing, interpolating and matrix decomposition, including subspace decomposition. Under the lower signal noise ratio （SNR） condition, the proposed method exhibits better precision than the method of frequency focusing （FF）. The proposed method can be further applied to nonuniform linear array （NLA） since it is not confined to the array geometry. Simulation results illustrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
