However, since the risk of casualties and economic loss by mining accidents, the application of clean and safe production in phosphorus mines encounters great challenges. For this purpose, a man-machine-environment system composed of evaluation indexes was established, and the grading standards of indexes were defined. Firstly, the measurements of 39 qualitative indexes were obtained through the survey data. According to the measured values of 31 quantitative indexes, the measurements of quantitative indexes were calculated by linear measurement function(LM) and other three functions. Then the singleindex measurement evaluation matrixes were established. Secondly, the entropy weight method was used to determine the weights of each index directly. The analytic hierarchy process(AHP) was also applied to calculate the weights of index and index factor hierarchies after the established hierarchical model. The weights of system hierarchies were given by the grid-based fuzzy Borda method(GFB). The comprehensive weights were determined by the combination method of AHP and GFB(CAG). Furthermore, the multi-index comprehensive measurement evaluation vectors were obtained.Thirdly, the vectors were evaluated by the credible degree recognition(CDR) and the maximum membership(TMM)criteria. Based on the above functions, methods, and criteria, 16 combination evaluation methods were recommended.Finally, the clean and safe production grade of Kaiyang phosphate mine in China was evaluated. The results show that the LM-CAG-CDR is the most reasonable method, which can not only determine the clean and safe production grade of phosphorus mines, but also improve the development level of clean and safe mining of phosphorus mines for guidance.In addition, some beneficial suggestions and measures were also proposed to advance the clean and safe production grade of Kaiyang phosphorus mine.展开更多

Most safety assessment methods consider only system parameters, such as configuration, hazard rate, coverage, repair rate, etc. along with periodic proof-tests （or inspection）. Not considering demand rate will give a pessimistic safety estimate for an application with low demand rate such as nuclear power plants, chemical plants, etc. In this paper, a basic model of IEC 61508 is used. The basic model is extended to incorporate process demand and behavior of electronic- and/or computer-based system following diagnosis or proof-test. A new safety index, probability of failure on actual demand （PFAD） based on extended model and demand rate is proposed. Periodic proof-test makes the model semi-Markovian, so a piece-wise continuous time Markov chain （CTMC） based method is used to derive mean state probabilities of elementary or aggregated state. Method to determine probability of failure on demand （PFD） （IEC 61508） and PFAD based on these state probabilities are described. In example, safety indices of PFD and PFAD are compared.展开更多

Both the cases of constant and time-dependent excitation amplitude are used to observe the variation of the extent and the rate of the erosion in safe basins. It is evident that the appearance of fractal basin boundaries heralds the onset of the losing of structural integrity. The minimum value of control parameter to prevent the basin from erosion is given along with the excitation amplitude varying. The results show the time-dependence of excitation amplitude can be used to control the extent and the rate of the erosion and delay the first occurrence of heteroclinic tangency.展开更多

Many of them expect to maintain a rich social life and to continue driving at an older age. Objective: The present study investigates the mechanisms behind self-regulation and driving cessation in order to suggest development of support systems to prolong older drivers’ safe mobility. Method: Three focus groups were conducted with 19 older active drivers aged 65+ who were divided according to annual mileage driven. Results: A content analysis revealed broad self-regulatory behaviour as already reported in the literature, e.g., avoiding driving at rush hour and at night. The participants also reported difficulty in finding the way to their final destination and an increasing need to plan their travelling. Co-piloting was a behaviour applied by couples to cope with difficulties encountered in traffic. A large part of the discussion was focused on emerging feelings of stress, anxiety and fear when driving in recent years, a feeling induced by external factors e.g., other road users’ behaviour, traffic density or high speed. Apart from health problems, high levels of stress could explain driving cessation, especially for women. An increased feeling of safety and comfort could be achieved by an increased use of support systems specifically designed to respond to older drivers’ needs. Conclusion: Support systems for older drivers should increase comfort and decrease their stress levels. New systems, such as co-pilot function and more developed Global Positioning System (GPS) supporting of the entire travel from door to door, should be developed to respond to the market needs.展开更多

In these systems, when components fail, different defect states have different effects, hence need different ways to measure. In the models, there are two kinds of failure modes of the components： one could be called failed-safe, and the other may be named failed- dangerous In practice, the so-called failed-dangerous components may lead a system to peril. However, failed-safe components will not. Reliability and safety issues are analyzed using Ion-Channel modeling theory to get count of repairs and time duration before the system becomes dangerous. In the closing section a numerical example is presented to illustrate the results obtained in the paper.展开更多

In Cameroon, the maternal mortality rate remains high, and the scarcity of data on abortions leads to a lack of solid evidence to advocate on the extent of the abortions related complications. Our objective was to evaluate the unsafe abortions related complications, and to assess the difficulties of accessing safe abortions in our setting. Methods: We carried out a meta-analytic and systematic review in the biomedical databases MEDLINE (Pubmed), Google Scholar and African Journal Online concerning unsafe abortions and/or difficulties in accessing safe abortions in Cameroon. The keywords used for the search are seen in table I. Selection of studies was simultaneously done by two authors. Data were extracted through a form designed on Google Form. We used a random-effect model for proportion estimation, and The I<sup>2</sup> and Q statistics to assess the extent of heterogeneity. Results: A total of 430 studies were identified, from which 28 were included and analysed. About 5% (95% CI: 3 - 7) of unsafe abortions leads to death. The contribution of unsafe abortions in maternal deaths was 23% (95% CI: 20 - 27). The rate of severe bleeding and/or anemia were 40% (95% CI: 18 - 63) and the rate of infection was 17% (95% CI: 7 - 28), dominated by pelvic infections, pelviperitonitis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. Case reports described uterine perforations, uterine rupture during the following pregnancy. Abortion was performed in the practitioner’s or patient’s home in 41.4% of cases, in a health center in 35.1% of cases, in a private clinic in 21.2% of cases, drugs selling places and in traditional healer clinics. The restriction of abortion laws, the stigma surrounding abortion and its consequences at any level of the society, lead to the underreporting of unsafe abortions and a deep reluctance to advocate for safe abortion services. Conclusion: The strengthening of awareness campaigns for provider behavior change communication, family planning, the de-stigmatization of abortions, the training of health personnel in post-abortion care, a multidisciplinary and multicentric action would contribute to the reduction in morbidity and mortality due to abortions.展开更多

Both the cases of constant and time-dependent excitation amplitude are used to observe the variation of the extent and the rate of the erosion in safe basins.

The minimum value of control parameter to prevent the basin from erosion is given along with the excitation amplitude varying. The results show the time-dependence of excitation amplitude can be used to control the extent and the rate of the erosion and delay the first occurrence of heteroclinic tangency.

文摘New models of safety-critical systems are built here. In these systems, when components fail, different defect states have different effects, hence need different ways to measure. In the models, there are two kinds of failure modes of the components： one could be called failed-safe, and the other may be named failed- dangerous In practice, the so-called failed-dangerous components may lead a system to peril. However, failed-safe components will not. Reliability and safety issues are analyzed using Ion-Channel modeling theory to get count of repairs and time duration before the system becomes dangerous. In the closing section a numerical example is presented to illustrate the results obtained in the paper.
文摘Background: Unsafe abortions are one of the leading causes of maternal mortality, especially in developing countries. In Cameroon, the maternal mortality rate remains high, and the scarcity of data on abortions leads to a lack of solid evidence to advocate on the extent of the abortions related complications. Our objective was to evaluate the unsafe abortions related complications, and to assess the difficulties of accessing safe abortions in our setting. Methods: We carried out a meta-analytic and systematic review in the biomedical databases MEDLINE (Pubmed), Google Scholar and African Journal Online concerning unsafe abortions and/or difficulties in accessing safe abortions in Cameroon. The keywords used for the search are seen in table I. Selection of studies was simultaneously done by two authors. Data were extracted through a form designed on Google Form. We used a random-effect model for proportion estimation, and The I<sup>2</sup> and Q statistics to assess the extent of heterogeneity. Results: A total of 430 studies were identified, from which 28 were included and analysed. About 5% (95% CI: 3 - 7) of unsafe abortions leads to death. The contribution of unsafe abortions in maternal deaths was 23% (95% CI: 20 - 27). The rate of severe bleeding and/or anemia were 40% (95% CI: 18 - 63) and the rate of infection was 17% (95% CI: 7 - 28), dominated by pelvic infections, pelviperitonitis, severe sepsis, and septic shock. Case reports described uterine perforations, uterine rupture during the following pregnancy. Abortion was performed in the practitioner’s or patient’s home in 41.4% of cases, in a health center in 35.1% of cases, in a private clinic in 21.2% of cases, drugs selling places and in traditional healer clinics. The restriction of abortion laws, the stigma surrounding abortion and its consequences at any level of the society, lead to the underreporting of unsafe abortions and a deep reluctance to advocate for safe abortion services. Conclusion: The strengthening of awareness campaigns for provider behavior change communication, family planning, the de-stigmatization of abortions, the training of health personnel in post-abortion care, a multidisciplinary and multicentric action would contribute to the reduction in morbidity and mortality due to abortions.

文摘Generating dynamically feasible trajectory for fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)in dense obstacle environments remains computationally intractable.This paper proposes a Safe Flight Corridor constrained Sequential Convex Programming(SFC-SCP)to improve the computation efficiency and reliability of trajectory generation.SFC-SCP combines the front-end convex polyhedron SFC construction and back-end SCP-based trajectory optimization.A Sparse A^(*)Search(SAS)driven SFC construction method is designed to efficiently generate polyhedron SFC according to the geometric relation among obstacles and collision-free waypoints.Via transforming the nonconvex obstacle-avoidance constraints to linear inequality constraints,SFC can mitigate infeasibility of trajectory planning and reduce computation complexity.Then,SCP casts the nonlinear trajectory optimization subject to SFC into convex programming subproblems to decrease the problem complexity.In addition,a convex optimizer based on interior point method is customized,where the search direction is calculated via successive elimination to further improve efficiency.Simulation experiments on dense obstacle scenarios show that SFC-SCP can generate dynamically feasible safe trajectory rapidly.Comparative studies with state-of-the-art SCP-based methods demonstrate the efficiency and reliability merits of SFC-SCP.Besides,the customized convex optimizer outperforms off-the-shelf optimizers in terms of computation time.

文摘Colleges and universities play an important role in society, and the premise of building a safe society is to build a safe campus. If we want to further strengthen the construction of a safe campus, we must build an all-round security system. This paper focuses on the impact of the changing internal and external environment of colleges and universities and the complex forms of public security around them on the campus safety management. Based on the premise of "overall national security concept" and according to the specific conditions of the campus, it further explores how to build an all-round safety management system, and the ways to solve the security problems of colleges and universities, so as to build a safe campus.
文摘Grasping is one of the most fundamental operations in modern robotics applications.While deep rein-forcement learning(DRL)has demonstrated strong potential in robotics,there is too much emphasis on maximizing the cumulative reward in executing tasks,and the potential safety risks are often ignored.In this paper,an optimization method based on safe reinforcement learning(Safe RL)is proposed to address the robotic grasping problem under safety constraints.Specifically,considering the obstacle avoidance constraints of the system,the grasping problem of the manipulator is modeled as a Constrained Markov Decision Process(CMDP).The Lagrange multiplier and a dynamic weighted mechanism are introduced into the Proximal Policy Optimization(PPO)framework,leading to the development of the dynamic weighted Lagrange PPO(DWL-PPO)algorithm.The behavior of violating safety constraints is punished while the policy is optimized in this proposed method.In addition,the orientation control of the end-effector is included in the reward function,and a compound reward function adapted to changes in pose is designed.Ultimately,the efficacy and advantages of the suggested method are proved by extensive training and testing in the Pybullet simulator.The results of grasping experiments reveal that the recommended approach provides superior safety and efficiency compared with other advanced RL methods and achieves a good trade-off between model learning and risk aversion.
文摘Objective:To explore the application effect of bundle management in the safe nursing of patients with autoimmune encephalitis.Methods:Seventy-five patients with autoimmune encephalitis who met the inclusion criteria in our hospital from January 2024 to June 2024 were randomly divided into two groups:an observation group of 39 patients and a control group of 36 patients.The control group received routine nursing care,while the observation group implemented a bundle management strategy based on routine nursing care.Safety nursing outcomes,clinical symptom improvement time,hospital stay,and neurologic function recovery were observed in both groups.Results:The incidence of adverse events in the observation group was 12.82%,significantly lower than the 33.33%in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in restraint usage and ICU transfer rates between the two groups(P>0.05).The clinical symptom improvement time,hospital stay,and neurologic function recovery in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion:Through the bundle management model,effective connections can be ensured in various aspects of treatment and rehabilitation for patients with autoimmune encephalitis,providing patients with comprehensive and multi-level nursing services and improving their overall satisfaction and treatment effectiveness.
文摘Semi-supervised clustering techniques attempt to improve clustering accuracy by utilizing a limited number of labeled data for guidance.This method effectively integrates prior knowledge using pre-labeled data.While semi-supervised fuzzy clustering(SSFC)methods leverage limited labeled data to enhance accuracy,they remain highly susceptible to inappropriate or mislabeled prior knowledge,especially in noisy or overlapping datasets where cluster boundaries are ambiguous.To enhance the effectiveness of clustering algorithms,it is essential to leverage labeled data while ensuring the safety of the previous knowledge.Existing solutions,such as the Trusted Safe Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering Method(TS3FCM),struggle with random centroid initialization,fixed neighbor radius formulas,and handling outliers or noise at cluster overlaps.A new framework called Active Safe Semi-Supervised Fuzzy Clustering with Pairwise Constraints Based on Cluster Boundary(AS3FCPC)is proposed in this paper to deal with these problems.It does this by combining pairwise constraints and active learning.AS3FCPC uses active learning to query only the most informative data instances close to the cluster boundaries.It also uses pairwise constraints to enforce the cluster structure,which makes the system more accurate and robust.Extensive test results on diverse datasets,including challenging noisy and overlapping scenarios,demonstrate that AS3FCPC consistently achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods like TS3FCM and other baselines,especially when the data is noisy and overlaps.This significant improvement underscores AS3FCPC’s potential for reliable and accurate semisupervised fuzzy clustering in complex,real-world applications,particularly by effectively managing mislabeled data and ambiguous cluster boundaries.

文摘Due to the influence of karst cave development and route selection,the location relationship between concealed karst cave and tunnel is more random.In order to explore the influence rule of karst cave location on the minimum safe thickness of water-proof rock mass,a simplified calculation model of water-proof rock mass thickness when the karst cave is located at any location around the tunnel is established,and the influence of multiple factors on the overall stability of water-proof rock mass is considered.Based on the cusp catastrophe theory,the analytical expressions for the safety thickness of waterproof rock mass are derived.Based on the finite difference principle,the analytical expressions of the safety thickness of water-proof rock mass are verified.In order to improve the application range of the analytical formula derived in this paper,the analytical formula is optimized based on the instability principle differences between the simplified calculation model and the elastic compressive bar.The research results show that the necessary condition solution is more applicable and much safer than the sufficient condition solution.Tectonic stress,rock beam length and karst cave water pressure are significantly positively correlated with the safe thickness of the waterproof rock mass.The calculated results of the semioptimized formula and the unoptimized formula are constant values,independent of the karst cave location.While the calculated results of the fully optimized formula are variable values,correlated with the karst cave location,the thickness of the waterproof rock mass gradually decreases as the karst cave location moves from the top of the tunnel to the bottom of the tunnel.The unoptimized formula does not consider the influence of the lateral force of the rock beam,and is not suitable for the working condition with large lateral force,the calculation results of the semi-optimized formula and the fully optimized formula are not very different and are biased to safety,so it can be given priority.
