Methods: Data were analyzed from 74 patients with severe pneumonia undergoing respiratory support at our hospital between May 2024 and April 2025. Patients were randomly assigned using a random number table to two groups (n = 37 each): the experimental group received NIPPV, while the control group underwent conventional invasive mechanical ventilation. Intergroup differences were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher PaO2 and oxygenation index, significantly lower PaCO2, significantly reduced levels of WBC, CRP, and PCT, significantly higher overall efficacy rate, and significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions after treatment (p < 0.05). Pre-treatment PaO2, oxygenation index, PaCO2, WBC, CRP, and PCT levels showed no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation demonstrates favorable outcomes in respiratory support for severe pneumonia.展开更多

文摘The development of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces(BCIs)relies on multidisciplinary integration across neuroscience,artificial intelligence,flexible electronics,and systems engineering.Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved the accuracy and robustness of neural signal decoding.Parallel progress in electrode design—particularly through the use of flexible and stretchable materials like nanostructured conductors and novel fabrication strategies—has enhanced wearability and operational stability.Nevertheless,key challenges persist,including individual variability,biocompatibility limitations,and susceptibility to interference in complex environments.Further validation and optimization are needed to address gaps in generalization capability,long-term reliability,and real-world operational robustness.This review systematically examines the representative progress in neural decoding algorithms and flexible bioelectronic platforms over the past decade,highlighting key design principles,material innovations,and integration strategies that are poised to advance non-invasive BCI capabilities.It also discusses the importance of multimodal data fusion,hardware-software co-optimization,and closed-loop control strategies.Furthermore,the review discusses the application potential and associated engineering challenges of this technology in clinical rehabilitation and industrial translation,aiming to provide a reference for advancing non-invasive BCIs toward practical and scalable deployment.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in respiratory support for severe pneumonia. Methods: Data were analyzed from 74 patients with severe pneumonia undergoing respiratory support at our hospital between May 2024 and April 2025. Patients were randomly assigned using a random number table to two groups (n = 37 each): the experimental group received NIPPV, while the control group underwent conventional invasive mechanical ventilation. Intergroup differences were compared. Results: Compared with the control group, the experimental group demonstrated significantly higher PaO2 and oxygenation index, significantly lower PaCO2, significantly reduced levels of WBC, CRP, and PCT, significantly higher overall efficacy rate, and significantly lower incidence of adverse reactions after treatment (p < 0.05). Pre-treatment PaO2, oxygenation index, PaCO2, WBC, CRP, and PCT levels showed no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation demonstrates favorable outcomes in respiratory support for severe pneumonia.

文摘Artificial Intelligence(AI)in healthcare enables predicting diabetes using data-driven methods instead of the traditional ways of screening the disease,which include hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c),oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),and fasting plasma glucose(FPG)screening techniques,which are invasive and limited in scale.Machine learning(ML)and deep neural network(DNN)models that use large datasets to learn the complex,nonlinear feature interactions,but the conventional ML algorithms are data sensitive and often show unstable predictive accuracy.Conversely,DNN models are more robust,though the ability to reach a high accuracy rate consistently on heterogeneous datasets is still an open challenge.For predicting diabetes,this work proposed a hybrid DNN approach by integrating a bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)network with a bidirectional gated recurrent unit(BiGRU).A robust DL model,developed by combining various datasets with weighted coefficients,dense operations in the connection of deep layers,and the output aggregation using batch normalization and dropout functions to avoid overfitting.The goal of this hybrid model is better generalization and consistency among various datasets,which facilitates the effective management and early intervention.The proposed DNN model exhibits an excellent predictive performance as compared to the state-of-the-art and baseline ML and DNN models for diabetes prediction tasks.The robust performance indicates the possible usefulness of DL-based models in the development of disease prediction in healthcare and other areas that demand high-quality analytics.

文摘Lightweight nodes are crucial for blockchain scalability,but verifying the availability of complete block data puts significant strain on bandwidth and latency.Existing data availability sampling(DAS)schemes either require trusted setups or suffer from high communication overhead and low verification efficiency.This paper presents ISTIRDA,a DAS scheme that lets light clients certify availability by sampling small random codeword symbols.Built on ISTIR,an improved Reed–Solomon interactive oracle proof of proximity,ISTIRDA combines adaptive folding with dynamic code rate adjustment to preserve soundness while lowering communication.This paper formalizes opening consistency and prove security with bounded error in the random oracle model,giving polylogarithmic verifier queries and no trusted setup.In a prototype compared with FRIDA under equal soundness,ISTIRDA reduces communication by 40.65%to 80%.For data larger than 16 MB,ISTIRDA verifies faster and the advantage widens;at 128 MB,proofs are about 60%smaller and verification time is roughly 25%shorter,while prover overhead remains modest.In peer-to-peer emulation under injected latency and loss,ISTIRDA reaches confidence more quickly and is less sensitive to packet loss and load.These results indicate that ISTIRDA is a scalable and provably secure DAS scheme suitable for high-throughput,large-block public blockchains,substantially easing bandwidth and latency pressure on lightweight nodes.

文摘Video emotion recognition is widely used due to its alignment with the temporal characteristics of human emotional expression,but existingmodels have significant shortcomings.On the one hand,Transformermultihead self-attention modeling of global temporal dependency has problems of high computational overhead and feature similarity.On the other hand,fixed-size convolution kernels are often used,which have weak perception ability for emotional regions of different scales.Therefore,this paper proposes a video emotion recognition model that combines multi-scale region-aware convolution with temporal interactive sampling.In terms of space,multi-branch large-kernel stripe convolution is used to perceive emotional region features at different scales,and attention weights are generated for each scale feature.In terms of time,multi-layer odd-even down-sampling is performed on the time series,and oddeven sub-sequence interaction is performed to solve the problem of feature similarity,while reducing computational costs due to the linear relationship between sampling and convolution overhead.This paper was tested on CMU-MOSI,CMU-MOSEI,and Hume Reaction.The Acc-2 reached 83.4%,85.2%,and 81.2%,respectively.The experimental results show that the model can significantly improve the accuracy of emotion recognition.

文摘One of the detection objectives of the Chinese Asteroid Exploration mission is to investigate the space environment near the Main-belt Comet(MBC,Active Asteroid)311P/PANSTARRS.This paper outlines the scientific objectives,measurement targets,and measurement requirements for the proposed Gas and Ion Analyzer(GIA).The GIA is designed for in-situ mass spectrometry of neutral gases and low-energy ions,such as hydrogen,carbon,and oxygen,in the vicinity of 311P.Ion sampling techniques are essential for the GIA's Time-of-Flight(TOF)mass analysis capabilities.In this paper,we present an enhanced ion sampling technique through the development of an ion attraction model and an ion source model.The ion attraction model demonstrates that adjusting attraction grid voltage can enhance the detection efficiency of low-energy ions and mitigate the repulsive force of ions during sampling,which is influenced by the satellite's surface positive charging.The ion source model simulates the processes of gas ionization and ion multiplication.Simulation results indicate that the GIA can achieve a lower pressure limit below 10-13Pa and possess a dynamic range exceeding 10~9.These performances ensure the generation of ions with stable and consistent current,which is crucial for high-resolution and broad dynamic range mass spectrometer analysis.Preliminary testing experiments have verified GIA's capability to detect gas compositions such as H2O and N2.In-situ measurements near 311P using GIA are expected to significantly contribute to our understanding of asteroid activity mechanisms,the evolution of the atmospheric and ionized environments of main-belt comets,the interactions with solar wind,and the origin of Earth's water.

文摘Electro-Optic Sampling(EOS)detection technique has been widely used in terahertz science and tech⁃nology,and it also can measure the field time waveform of the few-cycle laser pulse.Its frequency response and band limitation are determined directly by the electro-optic crystal and duration of the probe laser pulse.Here,we investigate the performance of the EOS with thin GaSe crystal in the measurement of the mid-infrared few-cycle la⁃ser pulse.The shift of the central frequency and change of the bandwidth induced by the EOS detection are calcu⁃lated,and then the pulse distortions induced in this detection process are discussed.It is found that this technique produces a red-shift of the central frequency and narrowing of the bandwidth.These changings decrease when the laser wavelength increases from 2μm to 10μm.This work can help to estimate the performance of the EOS de⁃tection technique in the mid-infrared band and offer a reference for the related experiment as well.
文摘BACKGROUND Despite the developments in the field of kidney transplantation,the already existing diagnostic techniques for patient monitoring are considered insufficient.Protein biomarkers that can be derived from modern approaches of proteomic analysis of liquid biopsies(serum,urine)represent a promising innovation in the monitoring of kidney transplant recipients.AIM To investigate the diagnostic utility of protein biomarkers derived from proteomics approaches in renal allograft assessment.METHODS A systematic review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines,based on research results from the PubMed and Scopus databases.The primary focus was on evaluating the role of biomarkers in the non-invasive diagnosis of transplant-related com-plications.Eligibility criteria included protein biomarkers and urine and blood samples,while exclusion criteria were language other than English and the use of low resolution and sensitivity methods.The selected research articles,were categorized based on the biological sample,condition and methodology and the significantly and reproducibly differentiated proteins were manually selected and extracted.Functional and network analysis of the selected proteins was performed.RESULTS In 17 included studies,58 proteins were studied,with the cytokine CXCL10 being the most investigated.Biological pathways related to immune response and fibrosis have shown to be enriched.Applications of biomarkers for the assessment of renal damage as well as the prediction of short-term and long-term function of the graft were reported.Overall,all studies have shown satisfactory diagnostic accuracy of proteins alone or in combination with conventional methods,as far as renal graft assessment is concerned.CONCLUSION Our review suggests that protein biomarkers,evaluated in specific biological fluids,can make a significant contribution to the timely,valid and non-invasive assessment of kidney graft.

文摘Nonperiodic interrupted sampling repeater jamming(ISRJ)against inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR)can obtain two-dimensional blanket jamming performance by joint fast and slow time domain interrupted modulation,which is obviously dif-ferent from the conventional multi-false-target deception jam-ming.In this paper,a suppression method against this kind of novel jamming is proposed based on inter-pulse energy function and compressed sensing theory.By utilizing the discontinuous property of the jamming in slow time domain,the unjammed pulse is separated using the intra-pulse energy function diffe-rence.Based on this,the two-dimensional orthogonal matching pursuit(2D-OMP)algorithm is proposed.Further,it is proposed to reconstruct the ISAR image with the obtained unjammed pulse sequence.The validity of the proposed method is demon-strated via the Yake-42 plane data simulations.
文摘Critical Height Sampling(CHS)estimates stand volume free from any model and tree form assumptions.Despite its introduction more than four decades ago,CHS has not been widely applied in the field due to perceived challenges in measurement.The objectives of this study were to compare estimated stand volume between CHS and sampling methods that used volume or taper models,the equivalence of the sampling methods,and their relative efficiency.We established 65 field plots in planted forests of two coniferous tree species.We estimated stand volume for a range of Basal Area Factors(BAFs).Results showed that CHS produced the most similar mean stand volume across BAFs and tree species with maximum differences between BAFs of 5-18m^(3)·ha^(−1).Horizontal Point Sampling(HPS)using volume models produced very large variability in mean stand volume across BAFs with the differences up to 126m^(3)·ha^(−1).However,CHS was less precise and less efficient than HPS.Furthermore,none of the sampling methods were statistically interchangeable with CHS at an allowable tolerance of≤55m^(3)·ha^(−1).About 72%of critical height measurements were below crown base indicating that critical height was more accessible to measurement than expected.Our study suggests that the consistency in the mean estimates of CHS is a major advantage when planning a forest inventory.When checking against CHS,results hint that HPS estimates might contain potential model bias.These strengths of CHS could outweigh its lower precision.Our study also implies serious implications in financial terms when choosing a sampling method.Lastly,CHS could potentially benefit forest management as an alternate option of estimating stand volume when volume or taper models are lacking or are not reliable.

文摘Weighted exponential distribution W ED(α,λ)with shape parameterαand scale parameterλpossesses some good properties and can be used as a good fit to survival time data compared to other distributions such as gamma,Weibull,or generalized exponential distribution.In this article,we proved the existence and uniqueness of the maximum likelihood estimator(MLE)of the parameters of W ED(α,λ)in simple random sampling(SRS)and provided explicit expressions for the Fisher information number in SRS.Moreover,we also proved the existence and uniqueness of the MLE of the parameters of W ED(α,λ)in ranked set sampling(RSS)and provided explicit expressions for the Fisher information number in RSS.Simulation studies show that these MLEs in RSS can be real competitors for those in SRS.
文摘Chronic kidney disease(CKD)is a degenerative disorder that affects millions of people throughout the world,causing considerable morbidity and healthcare burden.Frequent blood sampling is the current gold standard for monitoring CKD to evaluate biochemical and mineral indicators.However,there are draw-backs to frequent blood draws,such as pain for patients,the possibility of infe-ction,and higher medical expenses.Saliva-based diagnostics offer advantages such as ease of collection,reduced invasiveness,and improved patient compli-ance.A comprehensive literature review was conducted to analyze studies eva-luating the diagnostic utility of salivary creatinine,urea,calcium,and parathyroid hormone(PTH)in patients with CKD.Various saliva collection methods,inc-luding stimulated and unstimulated approaches,were investigated for efficiency and reliability,and a correlation was shown between serum and salivary crea-tinine,urea,PTH,and calcium levels,indicating their potential as CKD biomar-kers.Despite these promising findings,challenges such as standardization of collection methods,variability in salivary flow rates,and predictive value in association with blood parameters are addressed to ensure clinical applicability.This review explores the potential and challenges of saliva as a non-invasive alternative for CKD diagnostics.

文摘Selection of negative samples significantly influences landslide susceptibility assessment,especially when establishing the relationship between landslides and environmental factors in regions with complex geological conditions.Traditional sampling strategies commonly used in landslide susceptibility models can lead to a misrepresentation of the distribution of negative samples,causing a deviation from actual geological conditions.This,in turn,negatively affects the discriminative ability and generalization performance of the models.To address this issue,we propose a novel approach for selecting negative samples to enhance the quality of machine learning models.We choose the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture,located in southwestern Sichuan,China,as the case study.This area,characterized by complex terrain,frequent tectonic activities,and steep slope erosion,experiences recurrent landslides,making it an ideal setting for validating our proposed method.We calculate the contribution values of environmental factors using the relief algorithm to construct the feature space,apply the Target Space Exteriorization Sampling(TSES)method to select negative samples,calculate landslide probability values by Random Forest(RF)modeling,and then create regional landslide susceptibility maps.We evaluate the performance of the RF model optimized by the Environmental Factor Selection-based TSES(EFSTSES)method using standard performance metrics.The results indicated that the model achieved an accuracy(ACC)of 0.962,precision(PRE)of 0.961,and an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.962.These findings demonstrate that the EFSTSES-based model effectively mitigates the negative sample imbalance issue,enhances the differentiation between landslide and non-landslide samples,and reduces misclassification,particularly in geologically complex areas.These improvements offer valuable insights for disaster prevention,land use planning,and risk mitigation strategies.

文摘Flip-flow screens offer unique advantages in grading fine-grained materials.To address inaccuracies caused by sensor vibra-tions in traditional contact measurement methods,we constructed a non-invasive measurement system based on electrical and optical sig-nals.A trajectory tracking algorithm for the screen-body was developed to visually measure the kinematics.Employing the principle oflaser reflection for distance measurement,optical techniques were performed to capture the kinematic information of the screen-plate.Ad-ditionally,by using Wi-Fi and Bluetooth transmission of electrical signals,tracer particle tracking technology was implemented to elec-trically measure the kinematic information of mineral particles.Consequently,intelligent fusion and perception of the kinematic informa-tion for the screen-body,screen-plate,and particles in the screening system have been achieved.

文摘Accurate real-time monitoring of internal temperature in lithium-ion batteries remains critical for preventing thermal runaway,as conventional approaches sacrifice either computational efficiency or cross-scenario robustness.We present a generalized fuzzy physics-informed framework that distills thermally sensitive electrochemical processes while circumventing redundant physical constraints,thereby establishing an explicit mechanism-constrained mapping between frequency-domain signals and internal temperature.This framework facilitates online thermal estimation,with dynamic validations in LiFePO_4/graphite 18650-type cells confirming real-time capability with near-instantaneous acquisition(~6 s per measurement),exceptional accuracy(±0.5℃) within the operational temperature range(30-50℃),and operational resilience across 20 %-80 % state-of-charge.The framework maintains predictive fidelity(±1.0℃ at 30℃ and ±4.0℃ at 60℃,95 % prediction intervals) across 80 %-100 % state-of-health while demonstrating adaptability to cathode materials and structural architectures.This strategy resolves the competing imperatives of physical interpretability,computational efficiency,and crossscenario generalizability,offering a universal paradigm for embedded thermal management in safetycritical applications.
