This research addresses these challenges through the development of advanced emergency rescue systems incorporating wood-derived nanomaterials and IoT-enabled Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies. The use of nanocellulose which demonstrates outstanding mechanical capabilities and biodegradability alongside high resilience allowed developers to design modular rescue systems that function effectively even under challenging conditions while providing real-time failure protection. Experimental data from testing showed that the replacement system strengthened load-bearing limits by 20% while enhancing impact tolerance by 30% and decreasing lifecycle carbon footprints by 60% against conventional methods. FEA results alongside dynamic simulations established that the system maintains its strength across seismic events and thermal variations and environmental conditions. SHM systems that leverage the Internet of Things Platform revealed 95% accuracy rates in detecting anomalies while improving response speed by 30% for predictive maintenance operations. The innovative solutions support the special issue’s direction to push structural transformation through durable designs and creative materials with preventive failure solutions. The proposed solutions work together toward creating resilient infrastructure systems which resist unexpected stressors and environmental damage.展开更多

Climate-induced impacts and threats in mountainous tourism areas are more challenging given complex terrains and multiple risk sources. Prior studies have focused on assessing climate-related impacts in mountainous tourism areas, while limited studies have investigated the emergency rescue capacity of mountainous tourism areas. This largely constrains decision makers to adopt proper solutions to enhance emergency rescue capacity. To address this research challenges, this study aims to assess emergency rescue capability through an empirical study of the Wulong Karst Tourism Destination(WKTD) area in Chongqing, China. In particular, based on road network and emergency response facility data, the accessibility of road network was delineated by the Spatial Design Network Analysis(s DNA) model. The results indicate that fire and medical rescue facilities were extremely limited and their service coverage was irregular. Valleys significantly narrowed rescue facilities' service area and weakened their functional connection. With the vital 60-minute timeframe, the closeness and betweenness analyses revealed the low accessibility of global rescue roads, while relatively high accessibility of small-scale vehicle and pedestrian rescue roads. The Mean Crow Flight(MCF) and Diversion Ratio(DR) analyses verified that the accessibility of road rescue services was impeded by mountainous terrain. Overall, this study informs solutions pertaining to rescue and disaster mitigation in mountainous tourism areas.展开更多

The model aims to dispatch the rescue resources from the regional road networks and to obtain the location of the rescue depots and the numbers of service vehicles assigned for the potential incidents. Due to the computational complexity of the decision model, a scene decomposition algorithm is proposed. The algorithm decomposes the dispatch problem from various kinds of resources to a single resource, and determines the original scene of rescue resources based on the rescue requirements and the resource matrix. Finally, a convenient optimal dispatch scheme is obtained by decomposing each original scene and simplifying the objective function. To illustrate the application of the decision model and the algorithm, a case of the expressway network is studied on areas around Nanjing city in China and the results show that the model used and the algorithm proposed are appropriate.展开更多

The genetic algorithm is used to obtain the solutions to the rescue resources dispatching model. A case study shows that the proposed method can accurately reveal the impact of potential incidents on the costs of rescues according to the variations in the types and quantities of rescue resources and the optimal dispatching plan with respect to potential incidents can be obtained.The proposed method is applicable in real world scenarios.展开更多

文摘Unlike other major crops,little research has been performed on tomato to reduce the generation time for speed breeding.We evaluated several agronomic treatments to reduce the generation time of tomato in the‘M82'(determinate)and‘Moneymaker'(indeterminate)varieties and evaluated the best combination in conjunction with embryo rescue.Five container sizes with volumes of 0.2 L(XS),0.45 L(S),0.8 L(M),1.3 L(L),and6 L(XL),were evaluated in the first experiment under the autumn cycle.We found that plants grown in XL containers exhibited better development and required less time from sowing to anthesis(DSA)and from anthesis to fruit ripening(DAR).In the second experiment,using XL containers in the autumn-winter cycle,we evaluated the effects of cold priming at the cotyledonary stage,water stress,P supplementation,and K supplementation on generation time.Compared to the control,we found that cold priming significantly reduced the number of leaves,plant height to first the inflorescence,and DSA(2.7 d),whereas K supplementation reduced the DAR(8.8 d).In contrast,water stress and P supplementation did not significantly affect any of the measured traits like DAR,DSA or fruit set.To validate these data,in a third experiment with XL containers in the spring-summer cycle,the combination of cold priming and K supplementation was tested,confirming the significant effect of this combination on the reduction of generation time(2.9 d for DSA and 3.9 d for DAR)compared to the control.Embryo rescue during the cell expansion cycle(average of 22.0 d and 23.3 d after anthesis for‘M82'and‘Moneymaker',respectively)allowed the shortening of the generation time by 8.7 d in‘M82'and 11.6 d in‘Moneymaker'compared to the in planta fruit ripening.The combination of agronomic treatments with embryo rescue can effectively increase the number of generations per year from three to four for speed breeding of tomato.

文摘Frequent flood disasters caused by climate change may lead to tremendous economic and human losses along inland waterways.Emergency response and rescue vessels(ERRVs)play an essential role in minimizing losses and protecting lives and property.However,the path planning of ERRVs has mainly depended on expert experiences instead of rational decision making.This paper proposes an improved artificial potential field(APF)algorithm to optimize the shortest path for ERRVs in the rescue process.To verify the feasibility of the proposed model,eight tests were carried out in two water areas of the Yangtze River.The results showed that the improved APF algorithm was efficient with fewer iterations and that the response time of path planning was reduced to around eight seconds.The improved APF algorithm performed better in the ERRV’s goal achievement,compared with the traditional algorithm.The path planning method for ERRVs proposed in this paper has theoretical and practical value in flood relief.It can be applied in the emergency management of ERRVs to accelerate flood management efficiency and improve capacity to prevent,mitigate,and relieve flood disasters.
文摘In recent years,with the increasing frequency of global Marine activities,the occurrence probability of Marine accidents and emergencies has also increased.As a new technical means,small unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)have shown great application potential in Marine search and rescue activities.In Marine search and rescue activities,small UAVs can quickly arrive at the scene of the accident and carry out efficient information collection and monitoring under its simple and flexible operation.Compared with traditional search and rescue methods,small UAVs can cover a wider area,provide more detailed and accurate on-site information,provide strong support for search and rescue decision-making,and thus improve the quality and efficiency of maritime rescue.In this regard,this paper first describes the application advantages of small UAVs in Marine search and rescue activities and then puts forward effective application paths,to provide some references for relevant researchers.

文摘In order to solve the problems of potential incident rescue on expressway networks, the opportunity cost-based method is used to establish a resource dispatch decision model. The model aims to dispatch the rescue resources from the regional road networks and to obtain the location of the rescue depots and the numbers of service vehicles assigned for the potential incidents. Due to the computational complexity of the decision model, a scene decomposition algorithm is proposed. The algorithm decomposes the dispatch problem from various kinds of resources to a single resource, and determines the original scene of rescue resources based on the rescue requirements and the resource matrix. Finally, a convenient optimal dispatch scheme is obtained by decomposing each original scene and simplifying the objective function. To illustrate the application of the decision model and the algorithm, a case of the expressway network is studied on areas around Nanjing city in China and the results show that the model used and the algorithm proposed are appropriate.

文摘In view of the pressure time of emergency rescue against the infectious diseases,a mathematical model to optimize the location of emergency rescue centers is proposed.The model takes full account of the spread function of infectious diseases,the cycle of pulse vaccination,the distance between the demand area and the emergency rescue centers,as well as the building and maintenance cost for the emergency rescue center,and so on.At the same time,the model integrates the traditional location selection models which are the biggest cover model,the p-center model and the p-median model,and it embodies the principles of fairness and efficiency for the emergency center location.Finally,a computation of an example arising from practice provides satisfactory results.

文摘An optimal resource dispatching method is proposed to solve the multiple-response problem under the conditions of potential incidents on freeway networks.Travel time of the response vehicle is selected instead of route distance as the weight to reflect the impact of traffic conditions on the decisions of rescue resources.According to the characteristics of different types of rescue vehicles the dispatching decision-making time is revised to show the heterogeneity among different rescue vehicle dispatching modes. The genetic algorithm is used to obtain the solutions to the rescue resources dispatching model. A case study shows that the proposed method can accurately reveal the impact of potential incidents on the costs of rescues according to the variations in the types and quantities of rescue resources and the optimal dispatching plan with respect to potential incidents can be obtained.The proposed method is applicable in real world scenarios.
文摘Background The occurrence factors of emergency chest pain are relatively complex,and the progression of the condition is fast.Within a short period of time,the condition can worsen significantly,resulting in a higher mortality rate.Therefore,conducting proactive and effective emergency rescue work within a short period of time can significantly improve the success rate of patient resuscitation.Therefore,this study will focus on exploring the research on optimizing the emergency nursing process for the rescue effectiveness of emergency chest pain patients.Methods 82 patients with emergency chest pain admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the subjects of this study.They were evenly divided into observation group and control group by random number table method,with 41 cases in each group.The control group was given routine nursing,and the observation group was given optimized emergency nursing process.The rescue effect,rescue efficiency,adverse events and nursing quality of the two groups were compared.Results The success rate of rescue was 100.00%in the observation group and 90.24%in the control group,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The duration of rescue,emergency stay time and hospitalization time in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).The proportion of patients with shock,arrhythmia and heart failure was 0.00%in the observation group,which was lower than the 9.76%in the control group(P<0.05),and the nursing quality scores of emergency order and basic nursing in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusionss Optimized emergency nursing process can improve the rescue success rate of patients with chest pain in the emergency department,improve the rescue work efficiency,speed up the treatment of patients,and significantly reduce adverse events,which is worthy of popularization and application.
