Three months after the operation, the patients were followed up with slit lamp to check the visual acuity, including uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA), best corrected distance visual acuity, (BCDVA);the questionnaire surveys on the satisfaction of different intraocular lens implantation (far and near vision, glare, halo and abnormal visual symptoms);the iTrace visual function analyzer was used to check the total high-order aberrations (spherical aberration, wisdom aberration and Clover aberration) in the 3 mm pupil diameter. <strong>Results:</strong> Three months after cataract surgery, American Simplified version of questionnaire survey showed that the scores of near removing glasses in the multifocal group and the ART group were significantly better than those in the single focus group and the astigmatism group (<em>P</em> < 0.05);there was no significant difference in the satisfaction of far removing glasses, glare and halo in each group (<em>P</em> > 0.05). Three months after cataract surgery, there were statistically significant differences about UCDVA, BCDVA and UCNVA among the four groups (<em>F</em> = 18.189, <em>P </em>< 0.001), the UCNVA in the multifocal group and ART group was significantly better than that in the single focus group and the astigmatism group (<em>P</em> < 0.01). The difference of higher-order aberrations (total higher-order aberrations, wisdom aberrations, spherical aberrations, clover aberrations) was no statistically significant among the four groups (<em>P</em> > 0.05). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Different types of AcrySof blue light filtering intraocular lens implantation could improve the far vision and satisfaction of cataract patients, without different higher-order aberrations. Multifocal intraocular lens and ART intraocular lens could significantly improve the far vision of patients and reduce the dependence on near glasses.展开更多

Regarding the eyeball and the spectacles as a whole system-the lens-eye system-the surface profiles of the spectacles are achieved by optimization procedure of lens design. Different from the conventional optometry, in which the refraction prescription is acquired with a visual chart, the design takes into account the two aspects of actual human viewing, eyeball rolling and certain distinct viewing field. The rotation angle of eyeball is set to be ±20° as wearing spectacles, and the field of view is set to be ±7° which is especially important as watching screen display. The individual eye model is constructed as the main part of the lens-eye system. The Liou eye model is modified by sticking a thin meniscus lens to the crystalline lens. Then the defocus of the individual eye is transferred to the front surface of the meniscus lens, and the astigmatism and high-order aberrations are transferred to the front surface of the cornea. 50 eyes are involved in this research, among which 36 eyes have good enough visual performance already after sphero-cylindrical correction. 10 eyes have distinct improvement in vision and 4 eyes have no visual improvement by further aspheric correction. 6 typical subject eyes are selected for the aberrations analysis and the spectacles design in this paper. It is shown that the validity of visual correction of aspheric lens depends on the characteristics of the eye's wavefront aberrations, and it is effective for the eye with larger astigmatism or spherical aberration. Compared with sphero-cylindrical correction only, the superiority taken by the aspheric correction is mainly on the improvement of MTF at a larger field of view. For the best aspheric correction, the MTF values increase by 18.87%, 38.34%, 44.36%, 51.29% and 57.32% at the spatial frequencies of 40, 80, 100, 125 and 150 cycles/mm, respectively.展开更多

By irradiating the methane molecule with an elliptically polarized laser pulse polarized in the x–y plane, we observed significant even-order harmonic emission in the z-direction. By analyzing the electron dynamics in the electric field and the multi-orbital effects of the molecule, we revealed that electron recombination near specific atoms in methane is the primary source of highorder harmonic generation in the z-direction. Furthermore, we identified the dominant molecular orbitals responsible for the enhancement of harmonics in this direction and demonstrated the critical role played by multi-orbital effects in this process.展开更多

As one of the high-precision representative algorithms, the high-order Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) has not only attracted widespread attention from scholars in the CFD research community, but also received strong development. However, when DGM is extended to high-speed aerodynamic flow field calculations, non-physical numerical Gibbs oscillations near shock waves often significantly affect the numerical accuracy and even cause calculation failure. Data driven approaches based on machine learning techniques can be used to learn the characteristics of Gibbs noise, which motivates us to use it in high-speed DG applications. To achieve this goal, labeled data need to be generated in order to train the machine learning models. This paper proposes a new method for denoising modeling of Gibbs phenomenon using a machine learning technique, the zero-shot learning strategy, to eliminate acquiring large amounts of CFD data. The model adopts a graph convolutional network combined with graph attention mechanism to learn the denoising paradigm from synthetic Gibbs noise data and generalize to DGM numerical simulation data. Numerical simulation results show that the Gibbs denoising model proposed in this paper can suppress the numerical oscillation near shock waves in the high-order DGM. Our work automates the extension of DGM to high-speed aerodynamic flow field calculations with higher generalization and lower cost.展开更多

DGFEM uses unstructured grid discretization in the space domain and it is explicit in the time domain. Consequently it is a best mixture of FEM and finite volume method （FVM）. RK-DGFEM can obtain local high-order accuracy by using high-order polynomial basis. Numerical experiments of transverse magnetic （TM） wave propagation in a 2-D resonator are performed. A high-order Lagrange polynomial basis is adopted. Numerical results agree well with analytical solution. And different order Lagrange interpolation polynomial basis impacts on simulation result accuracy are discussed. Computational results indicate that the accuracy is evidently improved when the order of interpolation basis is increased. Finally, L^2 errors of different order polynomial basis in RK-DGFEM are presented. Computational results show that L^2 error declines exponentially as the order of basis increases.展开更多

Dispersion analysis demonstrates that omitting these small coefficients can retain approximately the same order accuracy but greatly reduce computational costs. Then, we introduce a mirrorimage symmetric boundary condition to improve IFDMs accuracy and stability and adopt the hybrid absorbing boundary condition （ABC） to reduce unwanted reflections from the model boundary. Last, we give elastic wave modeling examples for homogeneous and heterogeneous models to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed scheme.展开更多

These necessitate development of early prognostic/predictive markers and novel therapeutic interventions. Micro RNAs(mi RNAs) are small, noncoding RNA molecules that play a key role in tumor biology by functioning like tumor suppressor- or oncogenes and their aberrant expression are associated with the pathogenesis of several neoplasms with overwhelming clinical implications. Since mi RNA signature is tissue specific, here, we focused on current data concerning the mi RNAs abberations in GBC pathogenesis. In GBC, mi RNAs with tumor suppressor activity(mi R-135-5p, mi R-335, mi R-34 a, mi R-26 a, mi R-146b-5p, Mir-218-5p, mi R-1, mi R-145, mir-130a) were found downregulated, while those with oncogenic property(mi R-20 a, mi R-182, mir-155) were upregulated. The expression profile of mi RNAs was significantly associated with GBC prognosis and prediction, and forced over-expression/ inhibition of these mi RNAs was shown to affect tumor growth and development. Further, differential expression of mi RNAs in the blood samples of GBC patients suggest mi RNAs as promising noninvasive biomarker. Thus, mi RNAs represent potential candidate for GBC management, though many hurdles need to be overcome before mi RNAs therapy can be clinically applied to GBC prevention and treatment.展开更多

The clinical difference and agreement of two instruments were respectively evaluated by paired-samples 1-test and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS： The paired-samples t-test showed that the corneal HOA measured by the two instruments had no statistical differences （P〉0.05）; but the internal and total ocular HOA had significant statistical differences （P〈 0.05）, and the mean results measured by iTrace were higher than that of KR-1W. However, Bland-Altman analysis revealed that the HOA of corneal and internal were all in 95% limits of agreement; and just one point of total ocular HOA was beyond the 95% limits of agreement. CONCLUSION： KR-1W and iTrace were consistent well in the measurement of corneal, internal and total ocular HOA, especially for the cornea.展开更多

文摘We investigate theoretically the effects of chirped laser pulses on high-order harmonic generation(HHG)from solids.We find that the harmonic spectra display redshifts for the driving laser pulses with negative chirp and blueshifts for those with positive chirp,which is due to the change in the instantaneous frequency of the driving laser for different chirped pulses.The analysis of crystal-momentum-resolved(k-resolved)HHG reveals that the frequency shifts are equal for the harmonics generated by different crystal momentum channels.The frequency shifts in the cutoff region are larger than those in the plateau region.With the increase of the absolute value of the chirp parameters,the frequency shifts of HHG become more significant,leading to the shifts from odd-to even-order harmonics.We also demonstrate that the frequency shifts of harmonic spectra are related to the duration of the chirped laser field,but are insensitive to the laser intensity and dephasing time.

文摘AIM:To compare the visual outcomes and corneal higherorder aberrations(HOAs)of patients with high or low myopic astigmatism after small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).METHODS:A total of 157 eyes of 157 patients who underwent SMILE were included in this retrospective,nonrandomized,comparative study.All the eyes which were with the rule astigmatism were divided into high astigmatism group(HAG;astigmatism≤-2.00 D,73 eyes)and low astigmatism group(LAG;astigmatism≥-1.00 D,84 eyes).Visual and refractive examinations were performed,HOAs of the anterior surface,posterior surface,and total cornea of the eyes were evaluated preoperatively and 6mo postoperatively.RESULTS:At the postoperative 6-month follow-up,uncorrected distance visual acuity of 20/20 or better was achieved in 97%and 100%eyes in HAG and LAG respectively and 74%and 100%eyes were within-0.50 D.Vector analysis revealed no significant differences in the correction index(P=0.066),angle of error(P=0.091)or flattening index(P=0.987)between two groups.The magnitude of error was-0.37±0.31 D in HAG and-0.04±0.19 D in LAG(P<0.001).Index of success(IOS)was 0.22±0.09 in the HAG and 0.50±0.46 in the LAG(P<0.001).HOAs of most anterior,posterior and total cornea significantly increased after SMILE,especially the spherical aberration and coma.For HAG,the SMILE procedure induced significantly higher anterior,posterior and total cornea horizontal coma and total corneal total HOAs compared with LAG(P<0.001)and these surgically induced HOAs predominantly originated from the anterior surface of the cornea.CONCLUSION:SMILE surgery induces more HOAs and a mild under-correction of astigmatism in eyes with high astigmatism.The increment in HOAs after SMILE is related to preoperative astigmatism.

文摘Thermal expansion is crucial for various industrial processes and is increasingly the focus of research endeavors aimed at improving material performance.However,it is the continuous advancements in first-principles calculations that have enabled researchers to understand the microscopic origins of thermal expansion.In this study,we propose a coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE)calculation scheme based on self-consistent phonon theory,incorporating the fourth-order anharmonicity.We selected four structures(Si,CaZrF_(6),SrTiO_(3),NaBr)to investigate high-order anharmonicity’s impact on their CTEs,based on bonding types.The results indicate that our method goes beyond the second-order quasi-harmonic approximation and the third-order perturbation theory,aligning closely with experimental data.Furthermore,we observed that an increase in the ionicity of the structures leads to a more pronounced influence of high-order anharmonicity on CTE,with this effect primarily manifesting in variations of the Grüneisen parameter.Our research provides a theoretical foundation for accurately predicting and regulating the thermal expansion behavior of materials.

文摘An efficient and accurate scalar auxiliary variable(SAV)scheme for numerically solving nonlinear parabolic integro-differential equation(PIDE)is developed in this paper.The original equation is first transformed into an equivalent system,and the k-order backward differentiation formula(BDF k)and central difference formula are used to discretize the temporal and spatial derivatives,respectively.Different from the traditional discrete method that adopts full implicit or full explicit for the nonlinear integral terms,the proposed scheme is based on the SAV idea and can be treated semi-implicitly,taking into account both accuracy and effectiveness.Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the high-order convergence(up to fourth-order)of the developed schemes and it is computationally efficient in long-time computations.

文摘We present a comprehensive study on the role of various excited states in high-order harmonic generation of hydrogen atoms driven by a long-wavelength(1500 nm)laser field.By numerically solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation(TDSE)and performing a time-frequency analysis,we investigate the influence of individual excited states on the harmonic spectrum.Our results reveal that the 2s excited state primarily contributes to the enhancement of high-energy harmonic yields by facilitating long electron trajectories,while the 2p excited state predominantly suppresses harmonic yields in the lower-energy region(20th-50th orders)by altering the contributions of electron trajectories.Our results highlight the critical role of the excited states in the HHG process,even at longer laser wavelengths.

文摘We performed real-time and real-space numerical simulations of high-order harmonic generation in the threedimensional structured molecule methane(CH_(4)) using time-dependent density functional theory. By irradiating the methane molecule with an elliptically polarized laser pulse polarized in the x–y plane, we observed significant even-order harmonic emission in the z-direction. By analyzing the electron dynamics in the electric field and the multi-orbital effects of the molecule, we revealed that electron recombination near specific atoms in methane is the primary source of highorder harmonic generation in the z-direction. Furthermore, we identified the dominant molecular orbitals responsible for the enhancement of harmonics in this direction and demonstrated the critical role played by multi-orbital effects in this process.

文摘The high-speed development of space defense technology demands a high state estimation capacity for spacecraft tracking methods.However,reentry flight is accompanied by complex flight environments,which brings to the uncertain,complex,and strongly coupled non-Gaussian detection noise.As a result,there are several intractable considerations on the problem of state estimation tasks corrupted by complex non-Gaussian outliers for non-linear dynamics systems in practical application.To address these issues,a new iterated rational quadratic(RQ)kernel high-order unscented Kalman filtering(IRQHUKF)algorithm via capturing the statistics to break through the limitations of the Gaussian assumption is proposed.Firstly,the characteristic analysis of the RQ kernel is investigated in detail,which is the first attempt to carry out an exploration of the heavy-tailed characteristic and the ability on capturing highorder moments of the RQ kernel.Subsequently,the RQ kernel method is first introduced into the UKF algorithm as an error optimization criterion,termed the iterated RQ kernel-UKF(RQ-UKF)algorithm by derived analytically,which not only retains the high-order moments propagation process but also enhances the approximation capacity in the non-Gaussian noise problem for its ability in capturing highorder moments and heavy-tailed characteristics.Meanwhile,to tackle the limitations of the Gaussian distribution assumption in the linearization process of the non-linear systems,the high-order Sigma Points(SP)as a subsidiary role in propagating the state high-order statistics is devised by the moments matching method to improve the RQ-UKF.Finally,to further improve the flexibility of the IRQ-HUKF algorithm in practical application,an adaptive kernel parameter is derived analytically grounded in the Kullback-Leibler divergence(KLD)method and parametric sensitivity analysis of the RQ kernel.The simulation results demonstrate that the novel IRQ-HUKF algorithm is more robust and outperforms the existing advanced UKF with respect to the kernel method in reentry vehicle tracking scenarios under various noise environments.

文摘With the availability of high-performance computing technology and the development of advanced numerical simulation methods, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is becoming more and more practical and efficient in engineering. As one of the high-precision representative algorithms, the high-order Discontinuous Galerkin Method (DGM) has not only attracted widespread attention from scholars in the CFD research community, but also received strong development. However, when DGM is extended to high-speed aerodynamic flow field calculations, non-physical numerical Gibbs oscillations near shock waves often significantly affect the numerical accuracy and even cause calculation failure. Data driven approaches based on machine learning techniques can be used to learn the characteristics of Gibbs noise, which motivates us to use it in high-speed DG applications. To achieve this goal, labeled data need to be generated in order to train the machine learning models. This paper proposes a new method for denoising modeling of Gibbs phenomenon using a machine learning technique, the zero-shot learning strategy, to eliminate acquiring large amounts of CFD data. The model adopts a graph convolutional network combined with graph attention mechanism to learn the denoising paradigm from synthetic Gibbs noise data and generalize to DGM numerical simulation data. Numerical simulation results show that the Gibbs denoising model proposed in this paper can suppress the numerical oscillation near shock waves in the high-order DGM. Our work automates the extension of DGM to high-speed aerodynamic flow field calculations with higher generalization and lower cost.

文摘A high-order fully actuated(HOFA)control method is developed for underactuated mechanical systems(UMSs)with model uncertainties and external disturbances.First,a model transformation is made from the original to a pseudo strict-feedback form,and an HOFA model is established by using the method of variable elimination.Then,a group of high-order extended state observers(ESOs)are designed to deal with model uncertainties and external disturbances.The HOFA model is further classified and decomposed to achieve output constraints within a finite time range,and a barrier function is designed by combining with a shift function.Additionally,an ESO-based HOFA tracking control strategy for UMS is proposed.Finally,a manipulator model is used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

文摘In the field of discretization-based meshfree/meshless methods,the improvements in the higher-order consistency,stability,and computational efficiency are of great concerns in computational science and numerical solutions to partial differential equations.Various alternative numerical methods of the finite particle method(FPM)frame have been extended from mathematical theories to numerical applications separately.As a comprehensive numerical scheme,this study suggests a unified resolved program for numerically investigating their accuracy,stability,consistency,computational efficiency,and practical applicability in industrial engineering contexts.The high-order finite particle method(HFPM)and corrected methods based on the multivariate Taylor series expansion are constructed and analyzed to investigate the whole applicability in different benchmarks of computational fluid dynamics.Specifically,four benchmarks are designed purposefully from statical exact solutions to multifaceted hydrodynamic tests,which possess different numerical performances on the particle consistency,numerical discretized forms,particle distributions,and transient time evolutional stabilities.This study offers a numerical reference for the current unified resolved program.

文摘Background:Surgically induced astigmatism(SIA)and corneal high-order aberrations(HOAs)are the two main causes of poor visual quality after cataract surgery.Changes in the parameters of corneal HOAs after cataract surgery and their effects on and relationships with changes in corneal curvature have not yet been reported.This study aimed to explore changes in anterior,posterior and total corneal curvature,astigmatism and HOAs after microincision cataract surgery.Methods:Sixty-one age-related cataract patients(61 eyes)were included in this prospective study.The total,anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism and corneal HOAs were analyzed by anterior segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT)and iTrace before,one day,one week and three months after 2.2 mm temporal microincision coaxial phacoemulsification to evaluate the changes in anterior,posterior and total corneal curvature,astigmatism and corneal HOAs.Results:The mean J0 and J45 values of anterior,posterior and total corneal curvature obtained by ASOCT showed no statistically significant difference between preoperatively and any postoperative followup.SIA occurred on the anterior,posterior and total corneal surfaces and showed no statistically significant difference at any postoperative follow-up.No significant changes in 3rd-order oblique trefoil,vertical coma or 4th-order spherical aberrations were observed after surgery except for a significant increase in horizontal coma at postoperative day 1(POD1).Conclusions:There were no significant changes in corneal curvature after 2.2 mm temporal microincision coaxial phacoemulsification,and the corneal HOAs were not changed significantly except for the increase in horizontal coma at POD1,which may be one of the main reasons of poor visual quality at POD1 in some cataract patients who have good uncorrected or corrected distance vision.
文摘The Runge-Kutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method （RK-DGFEM） is introduced to solve the classical resonator problem in the time domain. DGFEM uses unstructured grid discretization in the space domain and it is explicit in the time domain. Consequently it is a best mixture of FEM and finite volume method （FVM）. RK-DGFEM can obtain local high-order accuracy by using high-order polynomial basis. Numerical experiments of transverse magnetic （TM） wave propagation in a 2-D resonator are performed. A high-order Lagrange polynomial basis is adopted. Numerical results agree well with analytical solution. And different order Lagrange interpolation polynomial basis impacts on simulation result accuracy are discussed. Computational results indicate that the accuracy is evidently improved when the order of interpolation basis is increased. Finally, L^2 errors of different order polynomial basis in RK-DGFEM are presented. Computational results show that L^2 error declines exponentially as the order of basis increases.

文摘In this paper, first we calculate finite-difference coefficients of implicit finite- difference methods （IFDM） for the first and second-order derivatives on normal grids and first- order derivatives on staggered grids and find that small coefficients of high-order IFDMs exist. Dispersion analysis demonstrates that omitting these small coefficients can retain approximately the same order accuracy but greatly reduce computational costs. Then, we introduce a mirrorimage symmetric boundary condition to improve IFDMs accuracy and stability and adopt the hybrid absorbing boundary condition （ABC） to reduce unwanted reflections from the model boundary. Last, we give elastic wave modeling examples for homogeneous and heterogeneous models to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed scheme.
文摘Gallbladder cancer(GBC) is infrequent but most lethal biliary tract malignancy characterized by an advanced stage diagnosis and poor survival rates attributed to absence of specific symptoms and effective treatment options. These necessitate development of early prognostic/predictive markers and novel therapeutic interventions. Micro RNAs(mi RNAs) are small, noncoding RNA molecules that play a key role in tumor biology by functioning like tumor suppressor- or oncogenes and their aberrant expression are associated with the pathogenesis of several neoplasms with overwhelming clinical implications. Since mi RNA signature is tissue specific, here, we focused on current data concerning the mi RNAs abberations in GBC pathogenesis. In GBC, mi RNAs with tumor suppressor activity(mi R-135-5p, mi R-335, mi R-34 a, mi R-26 a, mi R-146b-5p, Mir-218-5p, mi R-1, mi R-145, mir-130a) were found downregulated, while those with oncogenic property(mi R-20 a, mi R-182, mir-155) were upregulated. The expression profile of mi RNAs was significantly associated with GBC prognosis and prediction, and forced over-expression/ inhibition of these mi RNAs was shown to affect tumor growth and development. Further, differential expression of mi RNAs in the blood samples of GBC patients suggest mi RNAs as promising noninvasive biomarker. Thus, mi RNAs represent potential candidate for GBC management, though many hurdles need to be overcome before mi RNAs therapy can be clinically applied to GBC prevention and treatment.
文摘AIM：To study the relation between higher-order aberrations（HOAs）and contrast sensitivity（CS）in normal eyes among a population of laser in situ keratomileusis（LASIK）candidates.METHODS：In 6629 eyes of 3315 LASIK candidates,CS were measured under dark environment at the spatial frequencies of 1.5,3,6,12 and 18 cycles per degree（c/d）,respectively,using an Optec 6500 visual function tester.Meanwhile,ocular HOAs were measured for a 6.0 mm pupil with a Hartmann-Shack wavefront analyzer.RESULTS：In the study,the subjects with an average spherical equivalent of-4.86±2.07 D were included.HOAs decreased from the third to the sixth order aberrations with predominant aberrations of third-order coma,trefoil and fourth-order spherical aberration.At low and moderate spatial frequencies,CS was negatively correlated with the third-order coma and trefoil aberrations,and decreased with increasing Z31,but increased with increasing Z3-3and Z5-1.At high spatial frequencies,CS decreased with increasing Z3-3and increased with increasing Z5-1.CONCLUSION：At a large pupil size of 6.0 mm,the thirdorder aberrations,but not the total aberrations,are the main factors affecting CS.Vertical coma is negatively correlated with CS.
文摘AIM： To compare the difference and agreement of KR- lW and iTrace for measurement of high order aberrations.METHODS： KR-1W and iTrace were respectively used in a group of healthy people （40 volunteers, 32 eyes） to measure the high order aberration （HOA） of corneal, internal and total ocular. The clinical difference and agreement of two instruments were respectively evaluated by paired-samples 1-test and Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS： The paired-samples t-test showed that the corneal HOA measured by the two instruments had no statistical differences （P〉0.05）; but the internal and total ocular HOA had significant statistical differences （P〈 0.05）, and the mean results measured by iTrace were higher than that of KR-1W. However, Bland-Altman analysis revealed that the HOA of corneal and internal were all in 95% limits of agreement; and just one point of total ocular HOA was beyond the 95% limits of agreement. CONCLUSION： KR-1W and iTrace were consistent well in the measurement of corneal, internal and total ocular HOA, especially for the cornea.
