Based on circuit theory and measured current data, a π-equivalent circuit was established to simulate the transient response of the grounding grid.Nineteen return strokes from three artificially triggered lightning events were analyzed. The peak currents of the 19 return strokes range from -6.7 to -25.1 kA, and the mean value was -14.3 kA. The GPR decreased rapidly and formed a subpeak after reaching the initial peak, with the mean value of the initial peak being -148.65 kV and the mean value of the subpeak being -92.87 kV. The GPR induced by the triggered lightning currents exhibited a subpeak phenomenon. Simulation results indicate that the subpeak phenomenon is related to localized corrosion of the vertical grounding electrode. The potential difference at the grounding grid edge exhibited a multi-pulse waveform with alternating polarity, dominated by positive pulses. The peak values of both the positive and negative polarity pulses gradually decreased, with the first positive pulse displaying a significantly higher intensity than that of subsequent pulses.展开更多

文摘Aqueous zinc metal batteries(AZMBs)are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage,but their commercialization is hindered by zinc anode challenges,notably parasitic reactions and dendrite growth.Herein,we present a biodegradable biomass-derived protective layer,primarily composed of curcumin,as a zincophilic interface for AZMBs.The curcumin-based layer,fabricated via a homogeneous solution process,exhibits strong adhesion,uniform coverage,and robust mechanical integrity.Rich polar functional groups in curcumin facilitate homogeneous Zn~(2+)flux and suppress side reactions.The curcumin-based layer shows a favorable affinity for zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate(Zn(OTf)_(2))electrolyte,which is the representative of organic zinc salts,enabling optimal thickness for both protection and ion transport.The protected Zn anodes demonstrate an extended lifespan of 2500 h in symmetrical cells and a high Coulombic efficiency of 99.15%.Furthermore,Zn(OTf)_(2)-based system typically exhibits poor stability at high current densities.Fortunately,the lifespan of symmetrical cells was extended by 40-fold at the high current density.When paired with an Na V_(3)O_(8)·1.5H_(2)O(NVO)cathode,the system achieves 86.5%capacity retention after 3000 cycles at a large specific current density of 10 A g^(-1).These results underscore the efficacy of the curcumin-based protective layer in enhancing the reversibility and stability of metal electrodes,specifically relieving the instability of Zn(OTf)_(2)-based systems at high current densities,advancing its commercial viability.

文摘Background:Biliary stent placement during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)is important for drainage in common bile duct(CBD)strictures,while the stent length is associated with many stent-related complications.We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence(AI)model for stent length selection during ERCP.Methods:Images of the patients who underwent ERCP and were diagnosed with CBD strictures were collected.Training involved identifying and delineating the duodenoscope,CBD and guidewire,calculating the pixel distance of the target guidewire and determining the required biliary stent length based on the diameter of the duodenoscope.The performance of the model,accuracy for length calculation and the assistance for endoscopists were validated using the testing set.Results:A total of 794 images from 431 patients were included and data augmentation was conducted.The mean intersection over union(mIoU)for duodenoscope,CBD and guidewire were 90.46%,84.79%and 84.64%,respectively.The accuracy in identifying the strictures was 97.58%(121/124).The accuracy for stent length calculation achieved 85.95%(104/121)with an error margin of±1 cm.The mean absolute error(MAE)and mean relative error(MRE)of the AI model was 0.81 cm and 0.13,respectively.The AI model could reduce approximately 202 mGycm^(2)of the radiation exposure for each patient.It significantly improved both MAE and MRE for less experienced endoscopists(P=0.01 and P=0.02,respectively).Conclusions:The AI model could accurately identify duodenoscope,CBD and guidewire,enabling accurate strictures identification and stent length selection.
文摘Healthy behavior has long been linked to mental health outcomes.However,the role of artificial intelligence(AI)literacy in shaping healthy behaviors and its potential impact on mental health remains underexplored.This paper presents a scoping review offering a novel perspective on the intersection of healthy behaviors,mental health,and AI literacy.By examining how individuals’understanding of AI influences their choices regarding nutrition and their susceptibility to mental health issues,the current study explores emerging trends in health behavior decision-making.This emphasizes the need for integrating AI literacy into mental health and health behaviors education,as well as the development of AI-driven tools to support healthier behavior choices.It highlights that individuals with low AI literacy may misinterpret or overly depend on AI guidance,resulting in maladaptive health choices,while those with high AI literacy may be more likely to engage reflectively and sustain positive behaviors.The paper outlines the importance of inclusive education,user-centered design,and community-based support systems to enhance AI literacy for digitally marginalized groups.AI literacy may be positioned as a key determinant of health equity,better allowing for interdisciplinary strategies that empower individuals to make informed,autonomous decisions that promote both physical and mental health.

文摘In this study, the ground potential rise(GPR) phenomenon caused by a lightning current injected into a field-shaped artificial grounding grid, as well as the potential difference between two different nodes at the edge of the grounding grid, was observed and analyzed under artificially triggered lightning conditions. Based on circuit theory and measured current data, a π-equivalent circuit was established to simulate the transient response of the grounding grid.Nineteen return strokes from three artificially triggered lightning events were analyzed. The peak currents of the 19 return strokes range from -6.7 to -25.1 kA, and the mean value was -14.3 kA. The GPR decreased rapidly and formed a subpeak after reaching the initial peak, with the mean value of the initial peak being -148.65 kV and the mean value of the subpeak being -92.87 kV. The GPR induced by the triggered lightning currents exhibited a subpeak phenomenon. Simulation results indicate that the subpeak phenomenon is related to localized corrosion of the vertical grounding electrode. The potential difference at the grounding grid edge exhibited a multi-pulse waveform with alternating polarity, dominated by positive pulses. The peak values of both the positive and negative polarity pulses gradually decreased, with the first positive pulse displaying a significantly higher intensity than that of subsequent pulses.
