This article argues that there is an opportunity to conduct analysis while the response is operational due to the increasing availability of information within hours and days of a disaster event. Hence, this article introduces a methodology for analyzing publicly communicated disaster response information in near-real-time. A classification scheme for the disaster information needs of the public has been developed to facilitate analysis and has led to the establishment of best observed practice standards for content and timeliness. By comparing the information shared with the public within days of a disaster to these standards,information gaps are revealed that can be investigated further. The result is identification of potential deficiencies in communicating critical disaster response information to the public at a time when they can still be corrected.展开更多

Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Early detection of precancerous lesions is of vital importance for reducing the incidence and mortality of upper gastrointestinal(UGI)tract cancer.However,traditional endoscopy has certain limitations in detecting precancerous lesions.In contrast,real-time computer-aided detection(CAD)systems enhanced by artificial intelligence(AI)systems,although they may increase unnecessary medical procedures,can provide immediate feedback during examination,thereby improving the accuracy of lesion detection.This article aims to conduct a meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of CAD systems in identifying precancerous lesions of UGI tract cancer during esophagogastroduodenoscopy(EGD),evaluate their potential clinical application value,and determine the direction for further research.AIM To investigate the improvement of the efficiency of EGD examination by the realtime AI-enabled real-time CAD system(AI-CAD)system.METHODS PubMed,EMBASE,Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases were searched by two independent reviewers to retrieve literature with per-patient analysis with a deadline up until April 2025.A meta-analysis was performed with R Studio software(R4.5.0).A random-effects model was used and subgroup analysis was carried out to identify possible sources of heterogeneity.RESULTS The initial search identified 802 articles.According to the inclusion criteria,2113 patients from 10 studies were included in this meta-analysis.The pooled accuracy difference,logarithmic difference of diagnostic odds ratios,sensitivity,specificity and the area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve(area under the curve)of both AI group and endoscopist group for detecting precancerous lesion were 0.16(95%CI:0.12-0.20),-0.19(95%CI:-0.75-0.37),0.89(95%CI:0.85-0.92,AI group),0.67(95%CI:0.63-0.71,endoscopist group),0.89(95%CI:0.84-0.93,AI group),0.77(95%CI:0.70-0.83,endoscopist group),0.928(95%CI:0.841-0.948,AI group),0.722(95%CI:0.677-0.821,endoscopist group),respectively.CONCLUSION The present studies further provide evidence that the AI-CAD is a reliable endoscopic diagnostic tool that can be used to assist endoscopists in detection of precancerous lesions in the UGI tract.It may be introduced on a large scale for clinical application to enhance the accuracy of detecting precancerous lesions in the UGI tract.

文摘Actuator dynamics introduce a synchronization disparity between commanded displacements transmitted to the actuator and the actual displacements generated by the actuator,thereby affecting its precision and potentially leading to instability in real-time hybrid simulation(RTHS).This study aims to elucidate the relationship between calculated and measured displacements by analyzing their magnitude and phase in the frequency domain via transformations.The physical implications of these relationships are explored in the context of frequency domain evaluation indices(FEI),the transfer function of actuator dynamics,and delay compensation.Formulations for achieving perfect compensation of actuator dynamics are developed,and an enhanced compensation approach,termed improved windowed frequency domain evaluation index-based compensation(IWFEI),is introduced.The efficacy of IWFEI is assessed using a RTHS benchmark model,with perturbed simulations conducted to validate its robustness.Uncertainties inherent in actuator dynamics are represented as random variables in these simulations.Comparative analysis of the mean values and variances of evaluation criteria demonstrates that IWFEI enables more accurate and robust compensation.Furthermore,strong correlations observed among criteria in the time and frequency domains underscore the effectiveness of the proposed frequency domain-based compensation method in mitigating amplitude errors and phase delays in RTHS.
文摘Efficient utilization of processor and memory resources is essential for sustaining performance and energy efficiency in modern computing infrastructures.While earlier research has emphasized CPU utilization forecasting,joint prediction of CPU and memory usage under real workload conditions remains underexplored.This study introduces a machine learning–based framework for real-time prediction of CPU and RAM utilization using the Google Cluster Trace 2019 v3 dataset.The framework combines Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)with a MultiOutputRegressor(MOR)to capture nonlinear interactions across multiple resource dimensions,supported by a leakage-safe imputation strategy that prevents bias frommissing values.Nested cross-validation was employed to ensure rigorous evaluation and reproducibility.Experiments demonstrated that memory usage can be predicted with higher accuracy and stability than processor usage.Residual error analysis revealed balanced error distributions and very low outlier rates,while regime-based evaluations confirmed robustness across both low and high utilization scenarios.Feature ablation consistently highlighted the central role of page cache memory,which significantly affected predictive performance for both CPU and RAM.Comparisons with baseline models such as linear regression and random forest further underscored the superiority of the proposed approach.To assess adaptability,an online prequential learning pipeline was deployed to simulate continuous operation.The system preserved offline accuracy while dynamically adapting to workload changes.It achieved stable performance with extremely low update latencies,confirming feasibility for deployment in environments where responsiveness and scalability are critical.Overall,the findings demonstrate that simultaneous modeling of CPU and RAM utilization enhances forecasting accuracy and provides actionable insights for cache management,workload scheduling,and dynamic resource allocation.By bridging offline evaluation with online adaptability,the proposed framework offers a practical solution for intelligent and sustainable cloud resource management.

文摘The extremely high concentrations of PM2.5(particulate matter with an aerodynamic meter≤2.5 mm)during severe and persistent haze events in China have been closely related to the formation of secondary aerosols(SA).New particle formation(NPF)is the critical initial step of SA formation.New particles are commonly formed from gas-phase precursors(e.g.,SO2,volatile organic compounds)via nucleation and initial growth,in which molecular clusters with a mobility diameter smaller than 3 nm(hereafter referred to nanoscale molecular clusters)will be involved throughout the whole process.Recently,significant breakthroughs have been obtained on NPF studies,which are mostly attributed to the technical development in the real-time analysis of size-resolved number concentration and chemical composition of nanoscale molecular clusters.Regarding the detection of size-resolved number concentrations of nanoscale molecular clusters,both methods and instruments have been well built up;practical application in laboratory-scale experiments and field measurements have also been successfully demonstrated.In contrast,real-time analysis of chemical composition of nanoscale molecular clusters has still encountered the great challenges caused by the complex organic compositions of the clusters,and improvement of present analytical strategies is urgently required.The better understanding in NPF will not only benefit the atmospheric modeling and climate predictions but also the source control of SA.
文摘Analysis of a disaster event can identify strengths and weaknesses of the response implemented by the disaster management system;however, analysis does not typically occur until after the response phase is over.The result is that knowledge gained can only benefit future responses rather than the response under investigation. This article argues that there is an opportunity to conduct analysis while the response is operational due to the increasing availability of information within hours and days of a disaster event. Hence, this article introduces a methodology for analyzing publicly communicated disaster response information in near-real-time. A classification scheme for the disaster information needs of the public has been developed to facilitate analysis and has led to the establishment of best observed practice standards for content and timeliness. By comparing the information shared with the public within days of a disaster to these standards,information gaps are revealed that can be investigated further. The result is identification of potential deficiencies in communicating critical disaster response information to the public at a time when they can still be corrected.

文摘Border-associated macrophages are located at the interface between the brain and the periphery, including the perivascular spaces, choroid plexus, and meninges. Until recently, the functions of border-associated macrophages have been poorly understood and largely overlooked. However, a recent study reported that border-associated macrophages participate in stroke-induced inflammation, although many details and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we performed a comprehensive single-cell analysis of mouse border-associated macrophages using sequencing data obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO) database(GSE174574 and GSE225948). Differentially expressed genes were identified, and enrichment analysis was performed to identify the transcription profile of border-associated macrophages. CellChat analysis was conducted to determine the cell communication network of border-associated macrophages. Transcription factors were predicted using the ‘pySCENIC' tool. We found that, in response to hypoxia, borderassociated macrophages underwent dynamic transcriptional changes and participated in the regulation of inflammatory-related pathways. Notably, the tumor necrosis factor pathway was activated by border-associated macrophages following ischemic stroke. The pySCENIC analysis indicated that the activity of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(Stat3) was obviously upregulated in stroke, suggesting that Stat3 inhibition may be a promising strategy for treating border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation. Finally, we constructed an animal model to investigate the effects of border-associated macrophages depletion following a stroke. Treatment with liposomes containing clodronate significantly reduced infarct volume in the animals and improved neurological scores compared with untreated animals. Taken together, our results demonstrate comprehensive changes in border-associated macrophages following a stroke, providing a theoretical basis for targeting border-associated macrophages-induced neuroinflammation in stroke treatment.
文摘Six new lanthanide complexes:[Ln(3,4-DEOBA)3(4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy)]2·2C_(2)H_(5)OH,[Ln=Dy(1),Eu(2),Tb(3),Sm(4),Ho(5),Gd(6);3,4-DEOBA-=3,4-diethoxybenzoate,4,4'-DM-2,2'-bipy=4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine]were successfully synthesized by the volatilization of the solution at room temperature.The crystal structures of six complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technology.The results showed that the complexes all have a binuclear structure,and the structures contain free ethanol molecules.Moreover,the coordination number of the central metal of each structural unit is eight.Adjacent structural units interact with each other through hydrogen bonds and further expand to form 1D chain-like and 2D planar structures.After conducting a systematic study on the luminescence properties of complexes 1-4,their emission and excitation spectra were obtained.Experimental results indicated that the fluorescence lifetimes of complexes 2 and 3 were 0.807 and 0.845 ms,respectively.The emission spectral data of complexes 1-4 were imported into the CIE chromaticity coordinate system,and their corre sponding luminescent regions cover the yellow light,red light,green light,and orange-red light bands,respectively.Within the temperature range of 299.15-1300 K,the thermal decomposition processes of the six complexes were comprehensively analyzed by using TG-DSC/FTIR/MS technology.The hypothesis of the gradual loss of ligand groups during the decomposition process was verified by detecting the escaped gas,3D infrared spectroscopy,and ion fragment information detected by mass spectrometry.The specific decomposition path is as follows:firstly,free ethanol molecules and neutral ligands are removed,and finally,acidic ligands are released;the final product is the corresponding metal oxide.CCDC:2430420,1;2430422,2;2430419,3;2430424,4;2430421,5;2430423,6.
文摘The Savitzky-Golay(SG)filter,which employs polynomial least-squares approximations to smooth data and estimate derivatives,is widely used for processing noisy data.However,noise suppression by the SG filter is recognized to be limited at data boundaries and high frequencies,which can significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR).To solve this problem,a novel method synergistically integrating Principal Component Analysis(PCA)with SG filtering is proposed in this paper.This approach avoids the is-sue of excessive smoothing associated with larger window sizes.The proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm was applied to a CO gas sensing system based on Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy(CRDS).The perform-ance of the PCA-SG filtering algorithm is demonstrated through comparison with Moving Average Filtering(MAF),Wavelet Transformation(WT),Kalman Filtering(KF),and the SG filter.The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm exhibits superior noise reduction capabilities compared to the other algorithms evaluated.The SNR of the ring-down signal was improved from 11.8612 dB to 29.0913 dB,and the stand-ard deviation of the extracted ring-down time constant was reduced from 0.037μs to 0.018μs.These results confirm that the proposed PCA-SG filtering algorithm effectively improves the smoothness of the ring-down curve data,demonstrating its feasibility.

文摘Background:Receptor-interacting protein kinases(RIPKs)regulate cell death,inflammation,and immune responses,yet their roles in cancer are not fully understood.This study investigates the expression,genomic alterations,and functional implications of RIPK family members across various cancers.Methods:We collected multi-omics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and other public databases,including gene expression,copy number variation(CNV),mutation,methylation,tumor mutation burden(TMB),and microsatellite instability(MSI).Differential expression and survival analyses were performed using DESeq2 and Cox proportional hazards models.CNV and mutation data were analyzed with GISTIC2 and Mutect2,and methylation data with the ChAMP package.Correlations with TMB and MSI were assessed using Pearson coefficients,and gene set enrichment analysis was conducted with the MSigDB Hallmark gene sets.Results:RIPK family members show significant differential expression in various cancers,with RIPK1 and RIPK4 frequently altered.Survival analysis reveals heterogeneous impacts on overall survival.CNV and mutation analyses identify high alteration frequencies for RIPK2 and RIPK7,affecting gene expression.RIPK1 and RIPK7 are hypermethylated in several cancers,inversely correlating with RIPK3 expression.RIPK1,RIPK2,RIPK5,RIPK6,and RIPK7 correlate positively with TMB,while RIPK3 shows negative correlations in some cancers.MSI analysis indicates associations with DNA mismatch repair.G ene set enrichment analysis highlights immune-related pathway enrichment for RIPK1,RIPK2,RIPK3,and RIPK6,and cell proliferation and DNA repair pathways for RIPK4 and RIPK5.RIPK family members showed heterogeneous alterations across cancers:for example,RIPK7 was mutated in up to~15%of u terine c orpus e ndometrial c arcinoma and l ung s quamous c ell c arcinoma cases,and RIPK1 and RIPK7 exhibited frequent promoter hypermethylation in multiple tumor types.Several genes displayed context-dependent associations with overall survival and with TMB/MSI.Conclusion:This pan-cancer analysis of the RIPK family reveals their diverse roles and potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets.The findings emphasize the importance of RIPK genes in tumorigenesis and suggest context-dependent functions across cancer types.Further studies are needed to explore their mechanisms in cancer development and clinical applications.

文摘The sulfation and decomposition process has proven effective in selectively extracting lithium from lepidolite.It is essential to clarify the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of decomposition reactions.Accordingly,comprehensive kinetic study by employing thermalgravimetric analysis at various heating rates was presented in this paper.Two main weight loss regions were observed during heating.The initial region corresponded to the dehydration of crystal water,whereas the subsequent region with overlapping peaks involved complex decomposition reactions.The overlapping peaks were separated into two individual reaction peaks and the activation energy of each peak was calculated using isoconversional kinetics methods.The activation energy of peak 1 exhibited a continual increase as the reaction conversion progressed,while that of peak 2 steadily decreased.The optimal kinetic models,identified as belonging to the random nucleation and subsequent growth category,provided valuable insights into the mechanism of the decomposition reactions.Furthermore,the adjustment factor was introduced to reconstruct the kinetic mechanism models,and the reconstructed models described the kinetic mechanism model more accurately for the decomposition reactions.This study enhanced the understanding of the thermochemical behavior and kinetic parameters of the lepidolite sulfation product decomposition reactions,further providing theoretical basis for promoting the selective extraction of lithium.

文摘Crassostrea gigas has good taste and high nutritional value;however,there are few assessments of comprehensive and panoramic analyses of the nutritional quality of the northern oyster.To study the nutritional characteristics of C.gigas from different sources(ploidy,region,size,and culture mode),C.gigas from various ploidy(diploid and triploid),regions(Rushan,Off-site fattening,and Rongcheng),sizes(small,medium,and large)and culture modes(nearshore and offshore)were selected for comparative analyses.The nutritional components(moisture,protein,fat,and mineral),flavor substances(taste amino acids,nucleotides,and succinic acid),and functional indices(eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA),docosahexaenoic acid(DHA),and taurine)of C.gigas were determined.Principal component analysis(PCA)was used to comprehensively evaluate the oysters and investigate the variations in nutritional quality.The PCA results indicate that protein,essential fatty acids,selenium,zinc,taste amino acids,taurine,EPA,and DHA were core components contributing to 82.25%of the cumulative variance,providing a more comprehensive reflection of the nutrient composition of C.gigas.The extensive quality rankings for the C.gigas were as follows:diploid>triploid,Rushan>fattening>Rongcheng,medium>large>small,and offshore>nearshore.The score rank revealed that diploid oysters of medium-size from Rushan demonstrated superior nutritional quality compared to other tested samples.This is the first comprehensive and systematic investigation of C.gigas in northern China to reveal the feature of nutrients,flavor,and functional components.The study provided data support for the culture,consumption,processing,research,and nutritional quality improvement of oyster industry.

文摘Uncertain parameters are widespread in engineering systems.This study investigates the modal analysis of a fluid-conveying pipe subjected to elastic supports with unknown-but-bound parameters.The governing equation for the elastically supported fluid-conveying pipe is transformed into ordinary differential equations using the Galerkin truncation method.The Chebyshev interval approach,integrated with the assumed mode method is then used to investigate the effects of uncertainties of support stiffness,fluid speed,and pipe length on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the pipe.Additionally,both symmetrical and asymmetrical support stiffnesses are discussed.The accuracy and effectiveness of the Chebyshev interval approach are verified through comparison with the Monte Carlo method.The results reveal that,for the same deviation coefficient,uncertainties in symmetrical support stiffness have a greater impact on the first four natural frequencies than those of the asymmetrical one.There may be significant differences in the sensitivity of natural frequencies and mode shapes of the same order to uncertain parameters.Notably,mode shapes susceptible to uncertain parameters exhibit wider fluctuation intervals near the elastic supports,requiring more attention.
