By dynamically considering these phenomena with reservoir conditions it is thus feasible to extract the frequency-dependent velocity factor with the aim of monitoring changes in the reservoir both before and after CO2 injection. In the paper, we derive a quantitative expression for the frequency-dependent factor based on the Robinson seismic convolution model. In addition, an inversion equation with a frequency-dependent velocity factor is constructed, and a procedure is implemented using the following four processing steps： decomposition of the spectrum by generalized S transform, wavelet extraction of cross-well seismic traces, spectrum equalization processing, and an extraction method for frequency-dependent velocity factor based on the damped least-square algorithm. An attenuation layered model is then established based on changes in the Q value of the viscoelastic medium, and spectra of migration profiles from forward modeling are obtained and analyzed. Frequency-dependent factors are extracted and compared, and the effectiveness of the method is then verified using a synthetic data. The frequency-dependent velocity factor is finally applied to target processing and oil displacement monitoring based on real seismic data obtained before and after CO2 injection in the G89 well block within Shengli oilfield. Profiles and slices of the frequency-dependent factor determine its ability to indicate differences in CO2 flooding, and the predicting results are highly consistent with those of practical investigations within the well block.展开更多

Although geophysical monitoring techniques for CO2 sequestration have grown out of conventional oil and gas geophysical exploration techniques, it takes a long time to conduct geophysical monitoring, and there are many barriers and challenges. In this paper, with the initial objective of performing CO2 sequestration, we studied the geophysical tasks associated with evaluating geological storage sites and monitoring CO2 sequestration. Based on our review of the scope of geophysical monitoring techniques and our experience in domestic and international carbon capture and sequestration projects, we analyzed the inherent difficulties and our experiences in geophysical monitoring techniques, especially, with respect to 4D seismic acquisition, processing, and interpretation.展开更多

The system primarily employs data from the moderate resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS) sensor on the Earth Observation System-(EOS-) Terra/Aqua satellite, as well as those from ground observations at five sites in different ecological systems in China. From the preliminary data analysis on both annual and daily variations of water, heat and CO2 fluxes, we can confirm that this system basically has been working well. The results show that both latent flux and CO2 flux are much greater in the crop field than those in the grassland and the saline desert, whereas the sensible heat flux shows the opposite trend. Different data products from MODIS have very different correspondence, e.g. MODIS-derived land surface temperature has a close correlation with measured ones, but LAI and NPP are quite different from ground measurements, which suggests that the algorithms used to process MODIS data need to be revised by using the local dataset. We are now using the APEIS-FLUX data to develop an integrated model, which can simulate the regional water, heat, and carbon fluxes. Finally, we are expected to use this model to develop more precise high-order MODIS products in Asia-Pacific region.展开更多

Therefore, evaluation and inferring the data perfectly to prevent fire related accidental risk in underground coal mining (UMC) system are very necessary. In the present article, we have proposed a novel type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) for the prediction of fire intensity and its risk assessment for risk reduction in an underground coal mine. Recently, for the observation of underground coal mines, wireless underground sensor network (WUSN) are being concerned frequently. To implement this technique IT2FLS, main functional components are sensor nodes which are installed in coal mines to accumulate different imprecise environmental data like, temperature, relative humidity, different gas concentrations etc. and these are sent to a base station which is connected to the ground observation system through network. In the present context, a WUSN based fire monitoring system is developed using fuzzy logic approach to enhance the consistency in decision making system to improve the risk chances of fire during coal mining. We have taken Mamdani IT2FLS as fuzzy model on coal mine monitoring data to consider real-time decision making (DM). It is predicted from the simulated results that the recommended system is highly acceptable and amenable in the case of fire hazard safety with compared to the wired and off-line monitoring system for UMC. Legitimacy of the suggested model is prepared using statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.展开更多

Sensor signals were received and tool wear was predicted in the local system using an ART2 algorithm, while the monitoring result was transferred to the remote system via intemet. The monitoring system was installed at an on-site machine tool for monitoring three kinds of tools cutting titanium alloys, and the tool wear was evaluated on the basis of vigilances, similarities between vibration signals received and the normal patterns previously trained. A number of experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed system, and the results show that the wears of finishing-cut tools are successfully detected when the moving average vigilance becomes lower than the critical vigilance, thus the appropriate tool replacement time is notified before the breakage.展开更多

The use of tcPCO2 during cardiac ablation procedures offers the opportunity to compare end-tidal and transcutaneous methods of CO2 measurement before and after the use of the jet ventilation. Comparison of these measurements with arterial blood gas CO2 levels allows evaluation of the accuracy of the tcPCO2 technique for use during jet ventilation. Design: Observational study;patients served as their own controls. Setting: Cardiac electrophysiology laboratory. Participants: 15 adult patients (9 M), ASA III-IV, aged 26 to 82 years (median 66 years) undergoing radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Interventions: Jet ventilation (JV) versus conventional ventilation. Measurements and Main Results: Paired measurements of end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) and transcutaneous CO2 (tcPCO2) were recorded during periods of conventional ventilation. Paired measurements of arterial blood CO2 (PaCO2) levels and tcPCO2 were recorded during JV. ABG samples were drawn at the anesthesiologist’s discretion to assess the patient’s respiratory status. The level of agreement between the three methods was compared using the Bland Altman plot. We found that tcPCO2 values consistently provided a close approximation to PaCO2 levels. The mean difference between tcPCO2 and EtCO2 values in baseline and post-JV was on the order of 3 - 5 mmHg, with standard deviation of 4 - 6 mmHg. This is well within the range of variability that is accepted in clinical practice. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that tcPCO2 provides an acceptable estimate of CO2 concentration in arterial blood during JV, as well as prior to and following JV.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND The FreeStyle Libre flash glucose monitoring(FGM)system entered the Chinese market in 2017 to complement the self-monitoring of blood glucose.Due to its increased usage in clinics,the number of studies investigating its accuracy has increased.However,its accuracy has not been investigated in highland populations in China.AIM To evaluate measurements recorded using the FreeStyle Libre FGM system compared with capillary blood glucose measured using the enzyme electrode method in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2D)who had migrated within 3 mo from highlands to plains.METHODS Overall,68 patients with T2D,selected from those who had recently migrated from highlands to plains(within 3 mo),were hospitalized at the Department of Endocrinology from August to October 2017 and underwent continuous glucose monitoring(CGM)with the FreeStyle Libre FGM system for 14 d.Throughout the study period,fingertip capillary blood glucose was measured daily using the enzyme electrode method(Super GL,China),and blood glucose levels were read from the scanning probe during fasting and 2 h after all three meals.Moreover,the time interval between reading the data from the scanning probe and collecting fingertip capillary blood was controlled to<5 min.The accuracy of the FGM system was evaluated according to the CGM guidelines.Subsequently,the factors influencing the mean absolute relative difference(MARD)of this system were analyzed by a multiple linear regression method.RESULTS Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that the fingertip and scanned glucose levels were positively correlated(R=0.86,P=0.00).The aggregated MARD of scanned glucose was 14.28±13.40%.Parker's error analysis showed that 99.30%of the data pairs were located in areas A and B.According to the probe wear time of the FreeStyle Libre FGM system,MARD_(1 d) and MARD_(2-14 d) were 16.55%and 14.35%,respectively(t=1.23,P=0.22).Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that MARD did not correlate with blood glucose when the largest amplitude of glycemic excursion(LAGE)was<5.80 mmol/L but negatively correlated with blood glucose when the LAGE was≥5.80 mmol/L.CONCLUSION The FreeStyle Libre FGM system has good accuracy in patients with T2D who had recently migrated from highlands to plains.This system might be ideal for avoiding the effects of high hematocrit on blood glucose monitoring in populations that recently migrated to plains.MARD is mainly influenced by glucose levels and fluctuations,and the accuracy of the system is higher when the blood glucose fluctuation is small.In case of higher blood glucose level fluctuations,deviation in the scanned glucose levels is the highest at extremely low blood glucose levels.

文摘Two-dimensional layered material/semiconductor heterostructures have emerged as a category of fascinating architectures for developing highly efficient and low-cost photodetection devices.Herein,we present the construction of a highly efficient flexible light detector operating in the visible-near infrared wavelength regime by integrating a PdTe2 multilayer on a thin Si film.A representative device achieves a good photoresponse performance at zero bias including a sizeable current on/off ratio exceeding 105,a decent responsivity of~343 mA/W,a respectable specific detectivity of~2.56×10^(12)Jones,and a rapid response time of 4.5/379μs,under 730 nm light irradiation.The detector also displays an outstanding long-term air stability and operational durability.In addition,thanks to the excellent flexibility,the device can retain its prominent photodetection performance at various bending radii of curvature and upon hundreds of bending tests.Furthermore,the large responsivity and rapid response speed endow the photodetector with the ability to accurately probe heart rate,suggesting a possible application in the area of flexible and wearable health monitoring.

文摘The Greenhouse Gas Monitoring Instrument(GMI)onboard the Chinese hyperspectral satellite GF5-02 can provide abundant observations of global atmospheric CO_(2),which plays an important role in climate research.CO_(2)retrieval precision is the key to determining the application value of the GMI.To reduce the influence of atmospheric scattering on retrieval,we combined the Directional Polarimetric Camera(DPC)data on the same satellite to improve the anti-interference ability of GMI CO_(2)retrieval and ensure its retrieval precision.To realize the reliability and feasibility of the collaborative use of the GMI and DPC,this paper designs the pointing registration method of the GMI based on coastline observations,the spatial resolution matching method and the collaborative cloud screening method of the GMI and DPC observations.Combined with the DPC,which supplied the spectral data and aerosol product,the retrieval ability of the coupled bidirectional reflectance distribution function CO_(2)retrieval(CBCR)method developed for GMI CO_(2)retrieval was improved,with the retrieval efficiency of CO_(2)products increasing by 27%,and the CO_(2)retrieval precision increasing from 3.3 ppm to 2.7 ppm.Moreover,collaborative use not only guaranteed the GMI’s ability to detect global and area CO_(2)concentration distribution characteristics,such as significant concentration differences between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres in winter and high CO_(2)concentrations in urban agglomeration areas caused by human activities,but also extended the GMI’s potential for monitoring anomalous events,such as the Tonga volcanic eruption.
文摘Objectives: There is no data in the current medical literature on efficacy or accuracy of transcutaneous (tcPCO2) monitoring during jet ventilation for cardiac ablation. The use of tcPCO2 during cardiac ablation procedures offers the opportunity to compare end-tidal and transcutaneous methods of CO2 measurement before and after the use of the jet ventilation. Comparison of these measurements with arterial blood gas CO2 levels allows evaluation of the accuracy of the tcPCO2 technique for use during jet ventilation. Design: Observational study;patients served as their own controls. Setting: Cardiac electrophysiology laboratory. Participants: 15 adult patients (9 M), ASA III-IV, aged 26 to 82 years (median 66 years) undergoing radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. Interventions: Jet ventilation (JV) versus conventional ventilation. Measurements and Main Results: Paired measurements of end-tidal CO2 (EtCO2) and transcutaneous CO2 (tcPCO2) were recorded during periods of conventional ventilation. Paired measurements of arterial blood CO2 (PaCO2) levels and tcPCO2 were recorded during JV. ABG samples were drawn at the anesthesiologist’s discretion to assess the patient’s respiratory status. The level of agreement between the three methods was compared using the Bland Altman plot. We found that tcPCO2 values consistently provided a close approximation to PaCO2 levels. The mean difference between tcPCO2 and EtCO2 values in baseline and post-JV was on the order of 3 - 5 mmHg, with standard deviation of 4 - 6 mmHg. This is well within the range of variability that is accepted in clinical practice. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that tcPCO2 provides an acceptable estimate of CO2 concentration in arterial blood during JV, as well as prior to and following JV.
文摘BACKGROUND Inpatient telemetry heart rhythm monitoring overuse has been linked to higher healthcare costs.AIM To evaluate if CHA2DS2-VASc score could be used to indicate if a patient admitted with possible cerebrovascular accident(CVA)or transient ischemic attack(TIA)requires inpatient telemetry monitoring.METHODS A total of 257 patients presenting with CVA or TIA and placed on telemetry monitoring were analyzed retrospectively.We investigated the utility of telemetry monitoring to diagnose atrial fibrillation/flutter and the CHA2DS2-VASc scoring tool to stratify the risk of having CVA/TIA in these patients.RESULTS In our study population,63(24.5%)of the patients with CVA/TIA and telemetry monitoring were determined to have no ischemic neurologic event.Of the 194(75.5)patients that had a confirmed CVA/TIA,only 6(2.3%)had an arrhythmia detected during their inpatient telemetry monitoring period.Individuals with a confirmed CVA/TIA had a statistically significant higher CHA2DS2-VASc score compared to individuals without an ischemic event(3.59 vs 2.61,P<0.001).CONCLUSION Given the low percentage of inpatient arrhythmias identified,further research should focus on discretionary use of inpatient telemetry on higher risk patients to diagnose the arrhythmias commonly leading to CVA/TIA.A prospective study assessing event rate of CVA/TIA in patients with higher CHA2DS2-VASc score should be performed to validate the CHA2DS2-VASc score as a possible risk stratifying tool for patients at risk for CVA/TIA.
