文摘BACKGROUND Pain in the back or pelvis or fear of back pain may affect the timing or cocontraction of the core muscles.In both static and dynamic movements,the Sahrmann core stability test provides an assessment of core muscle activation and a person's ability to stabilize the lumbopelvic complex.Preparatory cues and images can be used to increase the activation of these muscles.To attain optimal movement patterns,it will be necessary to determine what cueing will give the most effective results for core stability.AIM To investigate the effects of external and internal cues on core muscle activation during the Sahrmann five-level core stability test.METHODS Total 68 participants(21.83±3.47 years)were randomly allocated to an external(n=35)or internal cue group(n=33).Participants performed the Sahrmann fivelevel core stability test without a cue as baseline and the five-level stability exercises with an internal or external cue.External cue group received a pressure biofeedback unit(PBU),and the internal cue group received an audio cue.A Delsys Trigno^(TM)surface electromyography unit was used for muscle activation from the rectus abdominis,external oblique,and transverse abdominis/internal oblique muscles.RESULTS Linear mixed effects model analysis showed that cueing had a significant effect on core muscle activation(P=0.001);however,there was no significant difference between cue types(internal or external)(P=0.130).CONCLUSION Both external and internal cueing have significant effects on core muscle activation during the Sahrmann five-level core stability test and the PBU does not create higher muscle activation than internal cueing.

文摘This study presents a significant advancement in the vibration analysis of functionally graded sandwich plates with auxetic cores by introducing a general viscoelastic foundation model that more accurately reflects the complex interactions between the plate and the foundation.The novelty of this study is that the proposed viscoelastic foundation model incorporates elastic and damping effects in both the Winkler and Pasternak layers.To develop the theoretical framework for this analysis,the higher-order shear deformation theory is employed,while Hamilton's principle is used to derive the governing equations of motion.The closed-form solution is used to determine the damped vibration behaviors of the sandwich plates.The precision and robustness of the proposed mathematical model are validated through several comparison studies with existing numerical results.A detailed parametric study is conducted to investigate the influence of various parameters,including the elastic and damping coefficients of the foundation,the material gradation,and the properties of the auxetic core on the vibration behavior of the plates.The numerical results provide new insights into the vibration characteristics of sandwich plates with auxetic cores resting on viscoelastic foundation,highlighting the significant role of the two damping coefficients and auxetic cores in the visco-vibration behavior of the plates.

文摘The separation of lithium isotopes (^(6)Li and ^(7)Li) is of great importance for the nuclear industry.The lithium amalgam method is the only lithium isotopes separation process in industry,and the extensive use of mercury has raised concerns about its potential environmental hazards,which have prompted the search for more efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives.Crown ethers can bind lithium ions highly selectively and separate lithium isotopes effectively.A chemical exchange-based lithium isotopes separation method using crown ether decorated materials could be a viable and cost-effective alternative to the lithium amalgam method.In this review,we provide a systematic summary of the recent advances in lithium isotopes separation using crown ethers decorated materials.

文摘A novel temperature-preserved core chamber designed for depths exceeding 5000 m has been developed to enhance the scientific understanding of deep oil and gas reservoirs.This temperature-preserved core chamber employs an innovative vacuum layer for temperature preservation and is compatible with a temperature-pressure preserved coring system.The design principles and key parameters of the temperature-preserved core chamber were determined through static analysis.Numerical simulations assessed the mechanical properties of 70,85,and 100 MPa core chambers under conditions of 120-150℃.The results demonstrate that the temperature-preserved core chambers withstand the applied stresses without plastic deformation,and the vacuum layer maintains its integrity under these conditions.A 70 MPa class core chamber prototype was manufactured,and system integration tests were performed on a self-developed in-situ coring platform.The system demonstrated stable operation at 70 MPa for 120 min,with pressure fluctuations within 5%.Additionally,the integrated system operated without interference,enabling the successful extraction of cores with a 50 mm diameter.These findings provide valuable theoretical guidance and design recommendations for advancing oil and gas in-situ temperature-pressure preserved coring technologies in high-temperature and high-pressure environments.
文摘With the continuous deepening of vocational education reform,core literacy,as an important concept of educational reform,has gradually been introduced into English teaching.The cultivation of core literacy requires students not only to master basic language knowledge but also to flexibly use cross-cultural communication skills,innovative thinking,and professional literacy to solve problems in actual work situations.In this context,constructing a vocational English evaluation system based on core literacy has become an urgent need to improve the quality of vocational English teaching and cultivate high-quality applied talents.Therefore,the following will focus on exploring the relevant content of the vocational English evaluation system in order to provide some help.
