The p...A generalized multiple-mode prolate spherical wave functions (PSWFs) multi-carrier with index modulation approach is proposed with the purpose of improving the spectral efficiency of PSWFs multi-carrier systems. The proposed method,based on the optimized multi-index modulation, does not limit the number of signals in the first and second constellations and abandons the concept of limiting the number of signals in different constellations. It successfully increases the spectrum efficiency of the system while expanding the number of modulation symbol combinations and the index dimension of PSWFs signals. The proposed method outperforms the PSWFs multi-carrier index modulation method based on optimized multiple indexes in terms of spectrum efficiency, but at the expense of system computational complexity and bit error performance. For example, with n=10 subcarriers and a bit error rate of 1×10^(-5),spectral efficiency can be raised by roughly 12.4%.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Postpartum women are at an increased risk of generalized anxiety disorder(GAD),which can negatively affect both mental health and physical recovery.Pelvic floor dysfunction,common in this population,can exacerbate psychological distress.Although pelvic floor rehabilitation is effective in physical recovery,its potential to improve psychological outcomes,especially in women with GAD,remains underexplored.AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized pelvic floor rehabilitation program in improving anxiety,pelvic floor function,and quality of life in postpartum women with GAD.METHODS A retrospective study was performed to analyze 80 postpartum women with GAD who completed a 12-week individualized pelvic floor rehabilitation program(January 2020-December 2024),combining supervised pelvic floor muscle training and psychological support.Primary outcomes were changes in GAD-7 and Hamilton anxiety rating scale(HAM-A)scores and pelvic floor function measured by surface electromyography(sEMG).Secondary outcomes included World Health Organization quality of life-BREF,pelvic floor symptom severity,and impact on daily activities(pelvic floor impact questionnaire).Assessments were conducted at baseline and 6 and 12 weeks during the intervention period.RESULTS Significant improvements were observed in anxiety measures,with mean GAD-7 scores decreasing from 14.8±3.2 at baseline to 8.2±2.9 at week 12(P<0.001)and HAM-A scores decreasing from 22.6±4.5 to 12.4±3.8(P<0.001).Pelvic floor function showed substantial enhancement,with sEMG amplitude increasing from 22.4±5.6μV to 35.9±6.8μV(P<0.001).Quality of life improved across all domains,with the most significant improvements in psychological(28.5%increase)and physical health(25.8%increase).Program adherence was 91.5%for the supervised sessions,and no serious adverse events were reported.CONCLUSION Individualized pelvic floor rehabilitation training effectively improves both psychological and functional outcomes in postpartum women with GAD.The high adherence and significant outcomes make this integrated approach feasible and effective.

文摘We introduce a new method to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions on the basis of the continuation theory for k-set contractions.We apply this technique to show the existence of nontrivial decaying solutions to the sup-linear generalized Emden-Fowler equation and the existence of asymptotically linear solutions to the sub-linear one.

文摘BACKGROUND Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)frequently experience exacerbations requiring multiple hospitalizations over prolonged disease courses,which predispose them to generalized anxiety disorder(GAD).This comorbidity exacerbates breathing difficulties,activity limitations,and social isolation.While previous studies predominantly employed the GAD 7-item scale for screening,this approach is somewhat subjective.The current literature on predictive models for GAD risk in patients with COPD is limited.AIM To construct and validate a GAD risk prediction model to aid healthcare professionals in preventing the onset of GAD.METHODS This retrospective analysis encompassed patients with COPD treated at our institution from July 2021 to February 2024.The patients were categorized into a modeling(MO)group and a validation(VA)group in a 7:3 ratio on the basis of the occurrence of GAD.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were utilized to construct the risk prediction model,which was visualized using forest plots.The model’s performance was evaluated using Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L)goodness-of-fit test and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.RESULTS A total of 271 subjects were included,with 190 in the MO group and 81 in the VA group.GAD was identified in 67 patients with COPD,resulting in a prevalence rate of 24.72%(67/271),with 49 cases(18.08%)in the MO group and 18 cases(22.22%)in the VA group.Significant differences were observed between patients with and without GAD in terms of educational level,average household income,smoking history,smoking index,number of exacerbations in the past year,cardiovascular comorbidities,disease knowledge,and personality traits(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that lower education levels,household income<3000 China yuan,smoking history,smoking index≥400 cigarettes/year,≥two exacerbations in the past year,cardiovascular comorbidities,complete lack of disease information,and introverted personality were significant risk factors for GAD in the MO group(P<0.05).ROC analysis indicated that the area under the curve for predicting GAD in the MO and VA groups was 0.978 and 0.960.The H-L test yieldedχ^(2) values of 6.511 and 5.179,with P=0.275 and 0.274.Calibration curves demonstrated good agreement between predicted and actual GAD occurrence risks.CONCLUSION The developed predictive model includes eight independent risk factors:Educational level,household income,smoking history,smoking index,number of exacerbations in the past year,presence of cardiovascular comorbidities,level of disease knowledge,and personality traits.This model effectively predicts the onset of GAD in patients with COPD,enabling early identification of high-risk individuals and providing a basis for early preventive interventions by nursing staff.

文摘In 1694,Gregory and Newton proposed the problem to determine the kissing number of a rigid material ball.This problem and its higher dimensional generalization have been studied by many mathematicians,including Minkowski,van der Waerden,Hadwiger,Swinnerton-Dyer,Watson,Levenshtein,Odlyzko,Sloane and Musin.In this paper,we introduce and study a further generalization of the kissing numbers for convex bodies and obtain some exact results,in particular for balls in dimensions three,four and eight.

文摘Electronic circular dichroism(ECD)spectrum is an important tool for as-sessing molecular chirality.Tradition-al methods,like linear response time-dependent density functional theory(LR-TDDFT),predict ECD spectra well for small or medium-sized molecules,but struggle with large sys-tems due to high computational costs,making it a significant challenge to ac-curately and efficiently predict the ECD properties of complex systems.Within the framework of the generalized energy-based fragmentation(GEBF)method for localized excited states(ESs)calculation,we propose a combination algorithm for calculating rotatory strengths of ESs in condensed phase systems.This algorithm estimates the rotatory strength of the total system by calculating and combin-ing the transition electric and magnetic dipole moments of subsystems.We have used the GEBF method to calculate the ECD properties of chiral drug molecule derivatives,green fluo-rescent protein,and cyclodextrin derivatives,and compared their results with traditional methods or experimental data.The results show that this method can efficiently and accu-rately predict the ECD spectra of these systems.Thus,the GEBF method for ECD spectra demonstrates great potential in the chiral analysis of complex systems and chiral material design,promising to become a powerful theoretical tool in chiral chemistry.

文摘The increasing frequency of extreme weather events raises the likelihood of forest wildfires.Therefore,establishing an effective fire prediction model is vital for protecting human life and property,and the environment.This study aims to build a prediction model to understand the spatial characteristics and piecewise effects of forest fire drivers.Using monthly grid data from 2006 to 2020,a modeling study analyzed fire occurrences during the September to April fire season in Fujian Province,China.We compared the fitting performance of the logistic regression model(LRM),the generalized additive logistic model(GALM),and the spatial generalized additive logistic model(SGALM).The results indicate that SGALMs had the best fitting results and the highest prediction accuracy.Meteorological factors significantly impacted forest fires in Fujian Province.Areas with high fire incidence were mainly concentrated in the northwest and southeast.SGALMs improved the fitting effect of fire prediction models by considering spatial effects and the flexible fitting ability of nonlinear interpretation.This model provides piecewise interpretations of forest wildfire occurrences,which can be valuable for relevant departments and will assist forest managers in refining prevention measures based on temporal and spatial differences.

文摘In this present work,we propose the expected Bayesian and hierarchical Bayesian approaches to estimate the shape parameter and hazard rate under a generalized progressive hybrid censoring scheme for the Kumaraswamy distribution.These estimates have been obtained using gamma priors based on various loss functions such as squared error,entropy,weighted balance,and minimum expected loss functions.An investigation is carried out using Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested estimators.The simulation provides a quantitative assessment of the estimates accuracy and efficiency under various conditions by comparing them in terms of mean squared error.Additionally,the monthly water capacity of the Shasta reservoir is examined to offer real-world examples of how the suggested estimations may be used and performed.

文摘A generalized multiple-mode prolate spherical wave functions (PSWFs) multi-carrier with index modulation approach is proposed with the purpose of improving the spectral efficiency of PSWFs multi-carrier systems. The proposed method,based on the optimized multi-index modulation, does not limit the number of signals in the first and second constellations and abandons the concept of limiting the number of signals in different constellations. It successfully increases the spectrum efficiency of the system while expanding the number of modulation symbol combinations and the index dimension of PSWFs signals. The proposed method outperforms the PSWFs multi-carrier index modulation method based on optimized multiple indexes in terms of spectrum efficiency, but at the expense of system computational complexity and bit error performance. For example, with n=10 subcarriers and a bit error rate of 1×10^(-5),spectral efficiency can be raised by roughly 12.4%.

文摘Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface(RIS)is regarded as a cutting-edge technology for the development of future wireless communication networks with improved frequency efficiency and reduced energy consumption.This paper proposes an architecture by combining RIS with Generalized Spatial Modulation(GSM)and then presents a Multi-Residual Deep Neural Network(MR-DNN)scheme,where the active antennas and their transmitted constellation symbols are detected by sub-DNNs in the detection block.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed MR-DNN detection algorithm performs considerably better than the traditional Zero-Forcing(ZF)and the Minimum Mean Squared Error(MMSE)detection algorithms in terms of Bit Error Rate(BER).Moreover,the MR-DNN detection algorithm has less time complexity than the traditional detection algorithms.
