Dispersal affects community dynamics and vegetation response to global change. The process of seed disposal is influenced by wind, which plays a crucial role in determining the distance and probability of seed dispersal. Existing models of seed dispersal consider wind direction but fail to incorporate wind intensity. In this paper, a novel seed disposal model was proposed in this paper, incorporating wind intensity based on relevant references. According to various climatic conditions, including temperate, arid, and tropical regions, three specific regions were selected to establish a wind dispersal model that accurately reflects the density function distribution of dispersal distance. Additionally, dandelions growth is influenced by a multitude of factors, encompassing temperature, humidity, climate, and various environmental variables that necessitate meticulous consideration. Based on Factor Analysis model, which completely considers temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, wind, and land carrying capacity, a conclusion is presented, indicating that the growth of seeds is primarily influenced by plant attributes and climate conditions, with the former exerting a relatively stronger impact. Subsequently, the remaining two plants were chosen based on seed weight, yielding consistent conclusion.展开更多

It addresses a significant research gap in understanding metro passengers’ dynamics across cultural and geographical contexts. It employs questionnaires, field observations, and advanced data analysis techniques like association rule mining and neural network modeling. Key findings include a correlation between rainy weather, shorter waiting times, and higher arrival volumes. Neural network models showed high predictive accuracy, with waiting time, metro satisfaction, and weather being significant factors in Lagos Light Rail Blue Line Metro. In contrast, arrival patterns, weather, and time of day were more influential in Wuhan Metro Line 5. Results suggest that improving metro satisfaction and reducing waiting times could increase arrival volumes in Lagos Metro while adjusting schedules for weather and peak times could optimize flow in Wuhan Metro. These insights are valuable for transportation planning, passenger arrival volume management, and enhancing user experiences, potentially benefiting urban transportation sustainability and development goals.展开更多

Methods: 154 nursing students who completed two-week practice in 8 community practice bases were investigated with the self-made questionnaire of satisfaction with community practice of undergraduate nursing students. Results: the overall satisfaction score of undergraduate nursing students in the community was (86.24 ± 19.60) points, of which the satisfaction score of college management was the highest (10.47 ± 2.53) points, and the satisfaction score of community practice content was the lowest (21.90 ± 6.55) points. The results of linear regression analysis showed that whether the community implemented the teaching plan, nursing students awareness of the necessity of community practice, the number of practice projects, whether the teaching teachers participated in the training, whether there were enough teachers, and whether the college collected feedback suggestions were the factors affecting the satisfaction of community practice (R2 0.578). Conclusion: the satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students with community practice is in the middle level. Schools and communities should take corresponding measures to improve community practice teaching according to various factors affecting community practice satisfaction.展开更多

Quantitative characterization of diagenesis indicates that compaction and dissolution are more important than cementation and they respectively cause porosity change of-23.6% and 7.7% and -6.2%. Through optimizing 11 main controlling factors and constructing reservoir evaluation index （REI） according to the hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis, reservoir classification standard was established and reservoirs were divided into four classes. The studies show that Es~ SQ4 consists mainly of class I and II, while Es~ SQ6 is mainly of class III and II; the favorable zone is the north and south slope of Qibei sub-sag and the Liujianfang fault-nose. The successful application of the quantitative and comprehensive evaluation in the Qibei area verifies the advanced, practicable method of less artificial factor is suitable for the low porosity and permeability reservoir.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Post-stroke depression(PSD),a condition commonly developed in patients with chronic stroke,impairs both functional rehabilitation and daily living.AIM To comprehensively analyze PSD contributors in chronic phase stroke and construct a precise nomogram.METHODS Two hundred patients with chronic stroke admitted in over 7 years(January 2017 to January 2024),were enrolled and categorized into the PSD group(n=96)and the non-PSD(NPSD)group(n=104).Demographic characteristics,clinicopathological data,and biochemical indicators were collected and analyzed by univariate analysis.Significant predictors identified in the univariate analysis were subsequently incorporated into a binary logistic regression model to assess their independent effects on PSD risk.The discriminative ability/calibration of the developed PSD prediction nomogram was assessed.RESULTS Compared with the NPSD group,the PSD group included a higher proportion of patients aged≥60 years,divorced/widowed,with an education level below senior high school,presenting with≥2 comorbidities,exhibiting severe neurological impairment,and having multiple lesions.Additionally,the PSD group showed significantly higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR)and platelet-tolymphocyte ratio(PLR)than the NPSD group.After assigning values to significant predictors,multivariate analysis indicated that educational level(P=0.046),NLR(P<0.001),and PLR(P<0.001)were independently associated with PSD in patients with chronic stroke.The developed nomogram exhibited favorable discrimination performance.The nomogram's calibration remained accurate for high-risk stratification but displayed modest inconsistencies in lowand middle-risk categories.CONCLUSION Education level,NLR,and PLR independently contribute to PSD in patients with chronic stroke.The constructed nomogram effectively predicts PSD risk within the range of 0.10-0.90,presenting a valuable tool for clinical monitoring and risk assessment of PSD in patients with chronic stroke.
文摘A weed is a plant that thrives in areas of human disturbance, such as gardens, fields, pastures, waysides, and waste places where it is not intentionally cultivated. Dispersal affects community dynamics and vegetation response to global change. The process of seed disposal is influenced by wind, which plays a crucial role in determining the distance and probability of seed dispersal. Existing models of seed dispersal consider wind direction but fail to incorporate wind intensity. In this paper, a novel seed disposal model was proposed in this paper, incorporating wind intensity based on relevant references. According to various climatic conditions, including temperate, arid, and tropical regions, three specific regions were selected to establish a wind dispersal model that accurately reflects the density function distribution of dispersal distance. Additionally, dandelions growth is influenced by a multitude of factors, encompassing temperature, humidity, climate, and various environmental variables that necessitate meticulous consideration. Based on Factor Analysis model, which completely considers temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, wind, and land carrying capacity, a conclusion is presented, indicating that the growth of seeds is primarily influenced by plant attributes and climate conditions, with the former exerting a relatively stronger impact. Subsequently, the remaining two plants were chosen based on seed weight, yielding consistent conclusion.
文摘This study explores the factors influencing metro passengers’ arrival volume in Wuhan, China, and Lagos, Nigeria, by examining weather, time of day, waiting time, travel behavior, arrival patterns, and metro satisfaction. It addresses a significant research gap in understanding metro passengers’ dynamics across cultural and geographical contexts. It employs questionnaires, field observations, and advanced data analysis techniques like association rule mining and neural network modeling. Key findings include a correlation between rainy weather, shorter waiting times, and higher arrival volumes. Neural network models showed high predictive accuracy, with waiting time, metro satisfaction, and weather being significant factors in Lagos Light Rail Blue Line Metro. In contrast, arrival patterns, weather, and time of day were more influential in Wuhan Metro Line 5. Results suggest that improving metro satisfaction and reducing waiting times could increase arrival volumes in Lagos Metro while adjusting schedules for weather and peak times could optimize flow in Wuhan Metro. These insights are valuable for transportation planning, passenger arrival volume management, and enhancing user experiences, potentially benefiting urban transportation sustainability and development goals.

文摘The endpoint carbon content in the converter is critical for the quality of steel products,and accurately predicting this parameter is an effective way to reduce alloy consumption and improve smelting efficiency.However,most scholars currently focus on modifying methods to enhance model accuracy,while overlooking the extent to which input parameters influence accuracy.To address this issue,in this study,a prediction model for the endpoint carbon content in the converter was developed using factor analysis(FA)and support vector machine(SVM)optimized by improved particle swarm optimization(IPSO).Analysis of the factors influencing the endpoint carbon content during the converter smelting process led to the identification of 21 input parameters.Subsequently,FA was used to reduce the dimensionality of the data and applied to the prediction model.The results demonstrate that the performance of the FA-IPSO-SVM model surpasses several existing methods,such as twin support vector regression and support vector machine.The model achieves hit rates of 89.59%,96.21%,and 98.74%within error ranges of±0.01%,±0.015%,and±0.02%,respectively.Finally,based on the prediction results obtained by sequentially removing input parameters,the parameters were classified into high influence(5%-7%),medium influence(2%-5%),and low influence(0-2%)categories according to their varying degrees of impact on prediction accuracy.This classi-fication provides a reference for selecting input parameters in future prediction models for endpoint carbon content.
文摘BACKGROUND Cardiovascular(CV)complications are common in intensive care unit(ICU)patients after gastrointestinal surgery and are associated with increased mortality and prolonged hospital stay.The optimization of postoperative nursing interventions,particularly pain management,is crucial for reducing such complications.AIM To investigate the effects of enhanced recovery nursing on CV complications after gastrointestinal surgery in ICU patients and associated risk factors.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 78 adult patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery in the ICU of our hospital between February 2023 and September 2024.Among them,40 patients received standard care(control group),while 38 received enhanced recovery nursing(observation group).We compared the incidence of CV complications and nursing satisfaction between the two groups.Patients were divided into CV complication and non-complication groups based on complication occurrence,and logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors.RESULTS In the control and observation groups,the incidence of CV complications was 30.0%(12/40)and 18.4%(7/38),with a nursing satisfaction rate of 70.0%(28/40)and 92.1%(35/38),respectively.The postoperative pain score at 14 days was significantly lower in the observation group(0.27±0.15)compared to the control group(1.65±0.37),with all differences being statistically significant(P<0.05).Univariate analysis indicated significant differences in age,body mass index,hypertension,diabetes,smoking history,history of heart failure,and previous myocardial infarction(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression identified heart failure history,previous myocardial infarction,age,hypertension,and diabetes as independent risk factors,with odds ratios of 1.195,1.528,1.062,1.836,and 1.942,respectively(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION Implementing enhanced recovery nursing for ICU patients after gastrointestinal surgery is beneficial in reducing the incidence of CV complications and improving nursing satisfaction.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute appendicitis(AP)is a frequently encountered surgical emergency,and appendectomy is conventionally regarded as the predominant treatment moda-lity.Nevertheless,the therapeutic efficacy of this surgical approach remains to be improved.Thus,the exploration and implementation of surgical refinements are necessary.AIM To elucidate the therapeutic effectiveness and influencing factors of laparoscopic appendectomy(LA)with mesoappendix dissection in the treatment of AP.METHODS First,150 patients with AP who visited Shangrao Municipal Hospital between January 2022 and June 2024 were enrolled in this study.Among them,72 patients were assigned to the control group to receive conventional LA,whereas 78 cases were included in the observation group for LA with mesoappendix dissection.Subsequently,indicators such as therapeutic effectiveness,surgical indices(ope-ration time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay),postoperative recovery indices(time to ambulation,gastrointestinal function recovery time,and time to food intake),incidence of adverse events(postoperative bleeding,pelvic infection,puncture site infection,and ileus),and serum inflammatory factors[tumor necro-sis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-6,and C-reactive protein(CRP)]were collected and comparatively analyzed,and the influencing factors of therapeutic effecti-veness in patients with AP were analyzed.RESULTS Compared with the control group,the observation group had higher clinical the-rapeutic effectiveness,less operation time,intraoperative blood loss,and hospital stay;shorter time to ambulation,gastrointestinal function recovery,and food intake;and a lower total incidence of adverse events,and this difference is statistically significant.In addition,the expression levels of various serum inflammatory factors in the observation group were significantly reduced postoperatively,which were markedly lower than those in the control group.Moreover,sex,age,body mass index,time from acute onset to admission,family medical history,preoperative TNF-α,preoperative IL-6,preoperative CRP,and treatment modality were identified to be not independent factors affecting the therapeutic effectiveness of LA with mesoappendix dissection in patients with AP.CONCLUSION Overall,LA with mesoappendix dissection has a remarkable curative effect in treating patients with AP,which is worthy of clinical promotion.
文摘Objective: to investigate the current situation of community practice satisfaction of nursing students in a certain university and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide reference for improving community practice teaching. Methods: 154 nursing students who completed two-week practice in 8 community practice bases were investigated with the self-made questionnaire of satisfaction with community practice of undergraduate nursing students. Results: the overall satisfaction score of undergraduate nursing students in the community was (86.24 ± 19.60) points, of which the satisfaction score of college management was the highest (10.47 ± 2.53) points, and the satisfaction score of community practice content was the lowest (21.90 ± 6.55) points. The results of linear regression analysis showed that whether the community implemented the teaching plan, nursing students awareness of the necessity of community practice, the number of practice projects, whether the teaching teachers participated in the training, whether there were enough teachers, and whether the college collected feedback suggestions were the factors affecting the satisfaction of community practice (R2 0.578). Conclusion: the satisfaction of undergraduate nursing students with community practice is in the middle level. Schools and communities should take corresponding measures to improve community practice teaching according to various factors affecting community practice satisfaction.

文摘Objective Apatinib is a novel inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2.The goal of this study was to evaluate overall survival(OS)after a combination of transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)and apatinib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and to identify the factors affecting patient survival.Methods Fifty-one patients with advanced HCC who received TACE in combination with apatinib in our hospital from June 2015 to May 2017 were enrolled.The OS and progression-free survival(PFS)were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.The log-rank test and Cox regression model were used to determine the factors affecting OS.Results The median OS and PFS of the patients were 15 months and 10 months,respectively.The 1-,2-,and 3-year survival rates were 64.7%,23.5%,and 1.8%,respectively.Univariate survival analysis showed that patients with Child-Pugh A(P=0.006),reduction rate of proper hepatic artery(P=0.016),hand-foot syndrome(P=0.005),secondary hypertension(P=0.050),and without ascites(P=0.010)had a better OS.Multivariate analysis showed that hand-foot syndrome(P=0.014),secondary hypertension(P=0.017),and reduction rate of proper hepatic artery(P=0.025)were independent predictors of better OS.Conclusion TACE combined with apatinib is a promising treatment for advanced HCC.Hand-foot syndrome,secondary hypertension,and the reduction rate of proper hepatic artery were associated with a better OS.
文摘Based on analysis of geophysical data such as core observation, rock slices identification, physical property, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, logging data etc., 16 factors of sedimentation, diagenesis, fluid pressure, and their relationships with reservoir physical property were analyzed, and the results indicate sedimentation is the internal factor controlling the reservoir property, diagenesis is the external and final decisive factor and abnormal fluid pressure is an important factor preserving the deep reservoir property. Quantitative characterization of diagenesis indicates that compaction and dissolution are more important than cementation and they respectively cause porosity change of-23.6% and 7.7% and -6.2%. Through optimizing 11 main controlling factors and constructing reservoir evaluation index （REI） according to the hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis, reservoir classification standard was established and reservoirs were divided into four classes. The studies show that Es~ SQ4 consists mainly of class I and II, while Es~ SQ6 is mainly of class III and II; the favorable zone is the north and south slope of Qibei sub-sag and the Liujianfang fault-nose. The successful application of the quantitative and comprehensive evaluation in the Qibei area verifies the advanced, practicable method of less artificial factor is suitable for the low porosity and permeability reservoir.

文摘The biomass of petroleum-degrading bacteria, such as Halomonas spp., is crucial to the alleviation of severe oil spills through bioremediation. In this paper, the bacterium(HDMP1) was isolated and identified. Growth factors were analysed and optimised through the single-factor experiments, the factor analysis(FA), the principal component analysis(PCA), and the response surface methodology(RSM). Results indicated that HDMP1 was identified as genus Halomonas. In the single-factor experiments, the range of suitable growth conditions for HDMP1 covered: a salt concentration of 2%-4%, a medium pH value of approximately 9, an inoculum concentration of 1.0%, a substrate concentration of 1.0%-1.4%, and a rotation rate of 140 r/min. The evaluation by FA and PCA indicated that three significant growth factors were the salt concentration, the pH value, and the rotation rate. A maximum biomass of HDMP1 was obtained under the conditions covering a salt concentration of 3.5%, a medium pH of 8, and a rotation rate of 151 r/min by optimization.

文摘Objective: To explore the correlation between common syndrome essential factors and the symptoms and signs of unstable angina (UA). Methods: Eight hundred and fifteen patients with UA confirmed by coronary angiography were identified from several centers. Common syndrome essential factors were selected on the basis of expert experience. The correlations between common syndrome essential factors and symptoms and signs of UA were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The common syndrome essential factors in unstable angina were blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity, heat stagnancy, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, and yang deficiency. Symptoms such as chest pain, hypochondriac distention, ecchymosis, dark orbits, dark and purplish tongue, and tongue with ecchymosis and petechiae were significant diagnostic features of "blood stasis". Aversion to cold and cool limbs, weakness in the waist and knees, and clear abundant urine were significant diagnostic features of "yang deficiency". These results were in accordance with the understanding of traditional clinical Chinese medical practice. Conclusion: This clinical study analyzed the correlations between common syndrome essential factors and the symptoms and signs of unstable angina. The results provide the basis for establishing diagnostic criteria for syndrome essential factors.
