Multi-behavior fusion based potential field method is proposed, which contains three behaviors: goal-seeking, boundary-memory following and dynamic-obstacle avoidance. Then, different activation conditions are designed to determine the current behavior. Meanwhile, information on the positions, velocities and the equation of motion for obstacles are detected and calculated by sensor data. Besides, memory information is introduced into the boundary following behavior to enhance cognition capability for the obstacles, and avoid local minima problem caused by the potential field method. Finally, the results of theoretical analysis and simulation show that the collision-free path can be generated for USV within different obstacle environments, and further validated the performance and effectiveness of the presented strategy.展开更多

文摘The problem of the unmanned surface vessel (USV) path planning in static and dynamic obstacle environments is addressed in this paper. Multi-behavior fusion based potential field method is proposed, which contains three behaviors: goal-seeking, boundary-memory following and dynamic-obstacle avoidance. Then, different activation conditions are designed to determine the current behavior. Meanwhile, information on the positions, velocities and the equation of motion for obstacles are detected and calculated by sensor data. Besides, memory information is introduced into the boundary following behavior to enhance cognition capability for the obstacles, and avoid local minima problem caused by the potential field method. Finally, the results of theoretical analysis and simulation show that the collision-free path can be generated for USV within different obstacle environments, and further validated the performance and effectiveness of the presented strategy.

文摘Objective:Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)has become an increasingly severe public health emergency.Although traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has helped to combat COVID-19,public perception of TCM remains controversial.We used the theory of planned behavior(TPB)to identify factors that affect the intention to use TCM.Methods:A cross-sectional web-based survey of 10,824 individuals from the general public was conducted between March 16 and April 2,2020.The participants were recruited using a snowball sampling method.Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire,based on the TPB.The questionnaire consisted of demographic characteristics and TPB structures.Structural equation modeling was used to identify predictors of intention.Results:The results indicated the model explained 77.5%and 71.9%of intention and attitude variance.Intention to use TCM had the strongest relationship with attitude(P<0.001),followed by past behavior(P<0.001),subjective norms(P<0.001)and perceived behavioral control(P<0.001).Attitudes toward TCM were significantly affected by perceived behavioral control(P<0.001),subjective norms(P<0.001)and cognition of TCM(P<0.001).Conclusion:Attitude is a key factor in determining the intention to use TCM,followed by past behaviors,subjective norms and perceived behavioral control.Our results offer important implications for health policy makers to promote the use of TCM.

文摘As a cultural concept refl ecting the relationship between humans and forests,forest culture plays an active role in sustainable forest management.Forest parks provide a wide range of ecosystem services essential for the sustainable development of society,and the relationships between forest culture,green construction and management of forest parks have practical signifi cance.This study aimed to understand the interaction and process of forest culture infl uencing green construction and management in forest parks with the models Knowledge-Attitude-Practice(KAP)and Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB)by proposing a theoretical model.Four hypotheses were tested using data collected from 193 forest park employees in Heilongjiang Province,China.Our results show that forest culture had a signifi cant infl uence on green construction and forest management.In addition,subjective norm and perceived behavioral control directly impacted behavior in green construction and management of the forest park,whereas attitude did not have an impact.Subjective norm had a direct eff ect on attitude.Results between constructs show that forest culture had an indirect eff ect on planning and construction,and on ecological and economic management.Consequently,it supported three of four hypotheses within the proposed model in determining the infl uence of forest culture on green construction and management.

文摘Functional behavior assessment(FBA)and behavioral intervention plans(BIPs)can be effective for students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD);however,teachers may face difficulties when implementing FBA procedures and,in turn,BIPs because of lack of time,insufficient training,and multiplicity of beliefs.Thus,it is important to identify the difficulties teachers may face and the obstacles that can deter them from implementing intervention plans.This is a worthwhile endeavor because nearly all classrooms will have students with behavioral problems who will benefit from specifically designed educational interventions.This study aimed to identify the difficulties in applying FBA and the barriers in implementing BIPs among Saudi teachers in specialized ADHD programs.Using the descriptive-analytical approach,a questionnaire targeting difficulties and barriers was admi-nistered to 209 public school teachers from specialized ADHD programs in Saudi Arabia.The results revealed that the difficulty level of applying FBA in ADHD programs was high.The level of barriers in implementing BIPs was moderate.Finally,the study indicated that barriers in implementing BIPs could be predicted by the difficulties of applying FBA.The results suggest the importance offinding better practices,restructuring the provision of ADHD programs,training teachers,improving assessment tool availability,and ensuring cooperation between school administrators and teachers.
文摘Objective: effect of extended nursing based on planned behavior theory on medication compliance of patients with schizophrenia. Methods :60 schizophrenic patients in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020 were randomly divided into two groups, 30 cases in each group. The reference group (routine nursing) and the observation group (extended nursing based on the theory of planned behavior) were used to evaluate the medication compliance of 60 patients. Results: there were significant differences in medication compliance between the two groups, the observation group was better than the reference group, the difference was significant (P < 0.05).Conclusion: the extended nursing based on the theory of planned behavior can improve the medication compliance of patients, which is worthy of promotion and practice.
