Aim: The aim of this study was to use the theme “Suicide among Physicians” to exemplify the analysis of methodological similarities between the scientific content available at MEDLINE and BVS databases, as scientific research tools. Methods: This is a systematic review with metanalysis. The following combinations of keywords were used for data search in the referred databases: “suicide” AND “physicians” AND “public heath”. Results: Three hundred and thirteen publications were identified, but only 16 studies were chosen. Great association was found between MEDLINE and BVS databases and the Odds Ratio regarding the theme: “Suicide among physicians”. Conclusions: Considering the similarities found in the utilization of the two analyzed databases, it was possible to identify that suicide among physicians is associated with the exercise of an important professional role in the society and in the workplace. With regard to scientific information, the p-value-obtained value (<0.05) seems to be statistically significant for the association between the suggested theme and the methodological similarities of the scientific information available in the analyzed databases. Thus, these open-access research tools are considered scientific reliable tools.展开更多

The relation hierarchical data model is extended to multilevel relation hierarchical data model. Based on the multilevel relation hierarchical data model, the concept of upper lower layer relational integrity is presented after we analyze and eliminate the covert channels caused by the database integrity. Two SQL statements are extended to process polyinstantiation in the multilevel secure environment. The system is based on the multilevel relation hierarchical data model and is capable of integratively storing and manipulating multilevel complicated objects ( e.g., multilevel spatial data) and multilevel conventional data ( e.g., integer, real number and character string).展开更多

文摘As an important resource in data link,time slots should be strategically allocated to enhance transmission efficiency and resist eavesdropping,especially considering the tremendous increase in the number of nodes and diverse communication needs.It is crucial to design control sequences with robust randomness and conflict-freeness to properly address differentiated access control in data link.In this paper,we propose a hierarchical access control scheme based on control sequences to achieve high utilization of time slots and differentiated access control.A theoretical bound of the hierarchical control sequence set is derived to characterize the constraints on the parameters of the sequence set.Moreover,two classes of optimal hierarchical control sequence sets satisfying the theoretical bound are constructed,both of which enable the scheme to achieve maximum utilization of time slots.Compared with the fixed time slot allocation scheme,our scheme reduces the symbol error rate by up to 9%,which indicates a significant improvement in anti-interference and eavesdropping capabilities.
文摘After securing a market for their dried red chilli peppers in China,elated farmers in Uganda are expanding the spicy crop cultivation to thousands of acres.China’s increasing appetite for international cuisine and spices has created a most welcome demand for high-quality chillies.And given Uganda’s unique climate and soil conditions that allow for diverse chilli varieties,the East African country has a competitive edge.This has led to Uganda and China now having trade agreements in place,facilitating exports.

文摘The accessibility of urban public transit directly influences residents’quality of life,travel behavior,and social equity.Its correlation with housing prices has garnered significant attention across disciplines such as geography,economics,and urban planning.Although much existing research focuses on the impact of individual transportation facilities on housing prices,there is a notable gap in comprehensive analyses that assess the influence of overall urban transit accessibility on housing market dynamics.This study selected the main urban area of Hefei,China,as a case to investigate the spatial distribution of housing prices and evaluate public transit accessibility in 2022.Employing techniques such as the optimized parameter geographical detector and local spatial regression models,the study aimed to elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms of urban transit accessibility on housing prices.The findings revealed that:1)housing prices in Hefei exhibited a clustered spatial pattern,with high prices concentrated in the city center and lower prices in peripheral areas,forming three distinct high-price hotspots with a‘belt-like’distribution;2)public transit accessibility showed a‘coreperiphery’structure,with accessibility declining in a‘circumferential’pattern around the city center.Based on the‘housing price-accessibility’dimension,four categories were identified:high price-high accessibility(37.25%),high price-low accessibility(19.07%),low price-high accessibility(21.95%),and low price-low accessibility(21.73%);3)the impact of transit accessibility on housing prices was spatially heterogeneous,with bus travel showing the strongest explanatory power(0.692),followed by automobile,subway,and bicycle travel.The interaction of these transportation modes generated a synergistic effect on housing price differentiation,with most influencing factors contributing more than 25%.These findings offer valuable insights for optimizing the spatial distribution of public transit infrastructure and improving both urban housing quality and residents’living standards.

文摘Central nervous system(CNS) axons fail to regenerate following brain or spinal cord injury(SCI),which typically leads to permanent neurological deficits.Peripheral nervous system axons,howeve r,can regenerate following injury.Understanding the mechanisms that underlie this difference is key to developing treatments for CNS neurological diseases and injuries characterized by axonal damage.To initiate repair after peripheral nerve injury,dorsal root ganglion(DRG) neurons mobilize a pro-regenerative gene expression program,which facilitates axon outgrowth.

文摘Under the background of‘the Belt and Road’and‘China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor’initiatives,this paper studied the urban accessibility level,regional accessibility pattern and regional spatial effects along the Primorsky No.1 and No.2 transportation corridors.First,the evaluation of urban accessibility level with and without Primorsky No.1 and No.2 high-speed rails(HSRs)opening was conducted with two indicators,i.e.,the weighted average travel time,and the economic potential.After the evaluation,the spatial differentiation pattern of the accessibility changes with and without Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs opening was performed respectively using ArcGIS.On these bases,the regional spatial effects brought by Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs opening were studied.The results are as following.First,the urban accessibility level will be greatly improved by the opening of Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs.All adjacent cities will be integrated into‘1 h HSR communication circle’and the whole journey will be integrated into‘4 h HSR communication circle’along Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors,respectively.The HSR accessibility of Primorsky No.1 corridor is stronger than that of Primorsky No.2 corridor.But the HSR accessibility improvement degree of Primorsky No.1 corridor is weaker than that of Primorsky No.2 corridor.Second,spatially,along Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors,the HSR accessibility level of the cities which are located in China is stronger than those cities located in Russia,showing the‘High West,Low East’patterns.The HSR accessibility improvement degree of the cities which are located in Russia and Sino-Russian border is stronger than those cities located in China,showing the‘High East,Low West’patterns.Third,Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors could connect the China’s‘Heilongjiang Land Sea Silk Road Economic Belt’and‘Changchun-Jilin-Tumen Development Pilot Zone’respectively,gradually involving into the development of China’s Harbin-Changchun Megalopolis.Relying on Harbin(China)and Changchun(China),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs could connect Northeast China-Beijing HSR,accelerating the diffusion of population,economy and other flows from China’s Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Urban Agglomeration to Northeast China,and then to Russia’s Far East Federal District.Relying on Suifenhe(China)and Hunchun(China),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 HSRs could be conducive to the development of the second largest sea channels for Northeast China,creating the Northeast Asian Urban Belt,and new sea-rail intermodal pattern among China,Russia,Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,Japan and Republic of Korea.Relying on Vladivostok(Russia)and Zarubino(Russia),Primorsky No.1 and No.2 corridors could connect the‘Ice Silk Road’,building the‘Sino-Russian Northern Maritime Corridor’and‘Sino-Russian Arctic Blue Economic Areas’.

文摘Human heart single-cell chromatin accessibility data reveal the diversity and complexity of heart cells at the epigenomic level,providing a detailed perspective for understanding the molecular mechanisms of heart development,function maintenance,disease occurrence,and therapeutic response.However,the current human heart single-cell chromatin accessibility data are relatively scarce,lacking large-scale,high-quality,and integrated datasets.To facilitate research and utilization,we have established a comprehensive database of human heart single-cell chromatin accessibility data,CASHeart.This database collects sequencing fragment files from publicly available papers,processes and counts data for 212,600 human heart cells,and provides transformed gene activity scores.All data are accessible for browsing and download via the online platform.We demonstrate that the data provided by CASHeart reveal heart cell type heterogeneity more effectively than the original data,aiding in the analysis of differentially accessible chromatin regions and activated genes.Moreover,we show that the incorporation of single-cell chromatin accessibility data and transformed gene activity scores from CASHeart as reference datasets enhances the analysis of heart single-cell epigenomic and transcriptomic data,whereas the unified chromatin accessible regions provided by CASHeart can assist in the study of gene regulation and genetic variation in human cardiac cells.
