Hospitals running at a deficit may have poorer outcomes and less investment in maintenance of human or physical capital, as well as increased rates of patient adverse events. We sought to clarify the relationship between municipal hospital surpluses or deficits and salary expenditures. Methods: We extracted financial data for 253 general hospitals of 300 beds or more from financial statements for the 2013 fiscal year available in the Yearbook of Public Firms, Edition for Hospital. From these data, we calculated account balance ratios and compared the average value of the ratio of labor to the output (salary ratio) for each group using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: The salary ratios of hospitals in the surplus group were significantly lower than the salary ratios of hospitals in the deficit group (55.5% vs. 49.4%;p p = 0.342). In the surplus group, the average value of salary ratios was different among the three-bed count groups (mean salary ratio: 53.0% vs. 48.5% vs. 47.4%;ANOVA p = 0.012). In addition, there was a significant difference in mean value between the 300-bed group and ≥500 beds group (mean salary ratio: 53.0% vs. 47.4%;p = 0.002). Conclusion: This study suggests that maintaining a favorable salary ratio to the current account balance is a useful proxy of fiscal health, and interventions to improve the salary ratio may be effective in improving municipal hospital management. Furthermore, among well-managed municipal hospitals, larger hospital size may confer some advantage in purchasing power.展开更多

By sandwiching the In0.1 Ga0.9 As layer between GaAs layers, potential wells beside the two sides of barrier are deepened, resulting in an increase of the peak-to-valley current ratio （PVCR） and a peak current density. A special shape of collector is designed in order to reduce contact resistance and non-uniformity of the current;as a result the total chrrent density in the device is increased. The use of thin barriers is also helpful for the improvement of the PVCR and the peak current density in DBRTDs.

With the increase of RF power, the experimental results show three stages： in the first stage （2-14 kW）, the electron temperature will rise with the increase of RF power in the ICP, thus, the Jions increases continually as the electron temperature rises in the ICP. In the second stage （14 20 kW）, as some H- ions lead to the mutual neutralization （MN）, the slope of Jio^s variation firstly decreases then increases. In the third stage （20-32 kW）, both the electronic detachment （ED） and the associative detachment （AD） in the ICP result in the destruction of H- ions, therefore, the increased amplitude of the Jions in the third stage is weaker than the one in the first stage. In addition, with the equivalent transformer model, we successfully Explain that the Jions at different radial locations in ICP has the same rule. Finally, it is found that the Jions has nothing to do with the outer/inner puffing gas pressure ratio, which is attributed to the high-speed movement of hydrogen molecules.展开更多

文摘新型电力系统下,大量新能源电源及电力电子设备接入交流电网。发生母线区内故障时,受控制策略影响,故障电流幅值受控,角度受控,谐波含量高,母线比率差动保护的动作性能下降,因此文中提出一种适用于新型电力系统的母线比率差动保护改进算法。首先,介绍传统比率差动算法的基本原理,并分析新型电力系统下该算法存在的问题;然后,提出不受故障电流角差及谐波影响的母线比率差动保护改进算法,将相位存在差异的各支路电流相量映射到同一坐标系下,并进行差流和制动电流计算,分析母线比率差动保护改进算法在母线区内外故障及区外故障电流互感器(current transformer,CT)饱和时的动作性能,提出母线比率差动保护改进逻辑;最后,基于实时数字仿真(real time digital simulation,RTDS),对比传统比率差动保护和改进比率差动保护的动作性能,证明改进比率差动保护能够在不降低保护动作可靠性的前提下提高动作灵敏性。
文摘Electroslag casting with parallel fixed-movable dual electrodes is a new method for achieving better quality of castings in complex mold cavities.In this work,a mathematical model,y=kx^2+(k+1)x,was established to describe the ideal correlation between the current ratio(y)and the cross-sectional area ratio(x)of the dual electrodes,where k is the filling ratio.Investigation was conducted on the electroslag casting process with dual electrodes of various cross-sectional areas,but at a constant k value.The experimental results indicated that the ideal correlation was obtained at the stable casting stage,and the fitting results were consistent with the experimental results at certain k values.The experimental findings show that better castings can be obtained when the current ratio is greater than 1.536 and the cross-sectional area ratio is greater than 0.5.
文摘电网换相高压直流(Line commutated converter based high voltage direct current,LCC-HVDC)传输新能源功率波动性强,引发受端变压器分接头频繁动作问题,有学者提出固定变压器变比的LCC-HVDC逆变器灵活控制,但该控制对系统的影响有待分析。为此,从无功需求、静态电压稳定性和换相失败抵御能力的角度,定量评估该控制对电网强度及系统稳定性的影响。首先,阐述定变比灵活控制的基本原理,根据系统准稳态模型分析该控制与传统控制的无功需求差异;其次,根据灵活控制下交直流系统雅可比矩阵(Voltage stability Jacobian matrix,VSJM)推导其临界短路比(Critical short circuit ratio,CSCR),进而分析该控制对电网强度和静态电压稳定裕度的影响。此外,通过时域仿真比较灵活控制和传统控制在抵御换相失败能力方面的差异。结果表明,灵活控制在稳态下提高了直流换流站的无功需求,但是降低了LCC-HVDC变流器的CSCR,提升了电网强度,且能够降低换相失败风险,因此具有良好的工程应用前景。
文摘The work principle of all fiber optical current transducer (AFOCT) was introduced. By analyzing the characteristic of photo-detector's output, a measurement and signal processing scheme based on sine wave modulation and demodulation was put forward for eliminating the influence of light intensity change and modulation degree change. A digital signal processing system and a calibration scheme were also advanced. The experimental data show that the mean ratio error is 0.016 74% for direct current and 0.035% for alternating current, and the correlation coefficient of linearity is up to 0.999 982 4, meeting the precision requirement of 0.2 grade. Stability experiments and temperature drift experiments show the AFOCT has a better stable capability.
