Due to this discovery, the principle of eliminating resonance byusing anti-bifurcation technique is presented, which makes that the theoretical bases of verymeasure to eliminate resonance are unified firstly from a point of view of basic theory. Ourdiscussion models depend on a class of nonlinear control model. Using the direct Lyapunov method, acomplete theoretical proof is given in accordance with the measure of eliminating resonance byconnecting nonlinear resistor in series to the neutral point of P. T., and the feedback control lawbeing applied. It comprises the action of parameters of resistor to eliminate resonance and theactual process of eliminating resonance, i.e., to go against bifurcation process which forces thebig harmonic solutions to retreat to the integral manifold gradually and disappear eventually, whichby using the nonlinear controllers. This makes it sure that the intrinsic cause of resonance iseliminated thoroughly. The obtained theory results and computing results are better than thepresented results.展开更多

When nifedipine was used, Ppv, WHVP, MAP and HR were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the MVPG unchanged (P>0.05). After administration of RSM, RSM+nifedipine and RSM+Hirudin+Nifedpin for 10-12 weeks, the diameter of portal vein (Dpv), spleen vein (Dsv), the portal venous flow (Qpv) and splenic venous flow (Qsv) in patients with hepatic cirrhosis were significantly lowered (P<0.05-0.01), and the effect of RAS was weaker.CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of decreasing Ppv by Chinese herbs-RSM, RAS, etc. as compared with nifedipine, demonstrated that the Chinese herbs were slower in action than that of nifedipine, but more long-lasting and without side effects. Hence, long-term administration of Chinese herbs, would be more beneficial.展开更多

As one of the most important estuarine wetlands, the Yangtze estuarine wetlands have attracted particular interests in the biogeochemical studies of nutrients. The objectives of this study were to characterize the seasonal and spatial distribution of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) fluxes across the sediment-water interface; to calculate the total DIN fluxes in a year and different seasons; and to evaluate the DIN removing capability of the sediment in the tidal wetlands of the Yangtze Estuary. The spatial distribution of DIN fluxes shows complicated seasonal variations and spatial differences. The annual DIN fluxes range from -22.22 mmol N m^-2 h^-1 to 19.54 mmol N m^-2 h^-1, with an average of -1.48±1.34 mmol N mm^-2 h^-1. The tidal wetlands in the Yangtze Estuary behave as a source of water DIN in spring when DIN is released from sediment into overlying water, and the released amount of DIN is 1.33×10^4 tons of nitrogen (T N). In summer, autumn and winter, the sediment absorbs the DIN from the overlying water, and the absorbed amounts of DIN are 4.36×10^4 T N, 6.81×10^4 T N and 2.24×10^4 T N, respectively. The average amount of DIN in overlying water of the Yangtze Estuary is 52.6×10^4 T N yr^-1, and the perennial average amount of DIN absorbed from the overlying water by the sediment is 12.1 × 10^4 T N yr^-1. The annual DIN elimination rate of the tidal wetlands was 23.0%.展开更多

文摘Internal multiples are commonly present in seismic data due to variations in velocity or density of subsurface media.They can reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data and degrade the quality of the image.With the development of seismic exploration into deep and ultradeep events,especially those from complex targets in the western region of China,the internal multiple eliminations become increasingly challenging.Currently,three-dimensional(3D)seismic data are primarily used for oil and gas target recognition and drilling.Effectively eliminating internal multiples in 3D seismic data of complex structures and mitigating their adverse effects is crucial for enhancing the success rate of drilling.In this study,we propose an internal multiple prediction algorithm for 3D seismic data in complex structures using the Marchenko autofocusing theory.This method can predict the accurate internal multiples of time difference without an accurate velocity model and the implementation process mainly consists of several steps.Firstly,simulating direct waves with a 3D macroscopic velocity model.Secondly,using direct waves and 3D full seismic acquisition records to obtain the upgoing and down-going Green's functions between the virtual source point and surface.Thirdly,constructing internal multiples of the relevant layers by upgoing and downgoing Green's functions.Finally,utilizing the adaptive matching subtraction method to remove predicted internal multiples from the original data to obtain seismic records without multiples.Compared with the two-dimensional(2D)Marchenko algo-rithm,the performance of the 3D Marchenko algorithm for internal multiple prediction has been significantly enhanced,resulting in higher computational accuracy.Numerical simulation test results indicate that our proposed method can effectively eliminate internal multiples in 3D seismic data,thereby exhibiting important theoretical and industrial application value.

文摘In May 2018,the Director-General of the World Health Organization(WHO)called for global action to eliminate cervical cancer~1.This call marked the beginning of an ambitious international effort to scale up 3 key strategies:human papillomavirus(HPV)vaccination,cervical cancer screening,and treatment of precancerous lesions and cancer.Subsequently,the WHO and its partners developed a global strategy to accelerate the reduction of cervical cancer incidence,with an ultimate goal of achieving elimination within the next century.This Global Strategy represents a formal international commitment and is anchored in the 90-70-90 targets to be achieved by 2030.In parallel,several countries have also set national commitments,such as Sweden's pledge to achieve elimination by 2027 and Australia's target of achieving elimination by 2035.
文摘The high incidence of hand,foot,and mouth disease(HFMD)in children,coupled with improper management,can lead to complications,causing significant distress to both patients and their parents.This article reports on the successful treatment of a case of HFMD with dampness-heat accumulation in the spleen type using a therapeutic approach of applying herbal patches to acupoints to disperse dampness,promote heat dissipation,and unblock the fu organs.The herbs selected primarily include honeysuckle,Forsythia,and mint to relieve the exterior and promote heat dissipation;Agastache and magnolia bark to transform and dry dampness;Scutellaria,blackberry lily,and licorice to clear heat,detoxify,and benefit the throat;and magnolia bark and bitter orange to unblock the fu organs and purge heat.The flexible combination of these herbs with acupoints such as Shenque,Zhongwan,Tiantu,and Feishu fully leverages the synergistic effects of both the herbs and acupoints,resulting in a significant therapeutic effect.This approach provides valuable insights and methodologies for the prevention and treatment of HFMD in children.

文摘China has achieved the poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule,contributing significantly to global poverty reduction.Despite extended efforts in poverty elimination,there is a lack of quantitative studies categorizing and comparing poverty-elimination counties(PECs)based on their processes.This study proposes an innovative framework for analyzing PECs’development paths from the perspective of population-land-industry(PLI).We quantify the PLI matching degree of PECs in China during the critical phase of the battle against poverty through a multivariate matching model,classify PECs via K-means clustering according to the consistency in PLI matching degree evolution,and summarize the typical development patterns of PECs.Results indicate that the PLI matching degree of PECs in China increased substantially from 2015 to 2020,particularly in eastern areas,while the western region,including the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and southwestern Xinjiang,shows untapped potential for improvement.Five types of PECs are identified,with the majority(30.1%)showing sustained moderate PLI matching and a minority(9.6%)experiencing long-term PLI mismatch.Industry is the shortfall of various PECs,and effective strategies to facilitate all types of PECs include the development of emerging businesses and the expansion of secondary and tertiary industries.Additionally,enriching rural labor force and increasing farmland use efficiency are essential for optimal PLI matching and positive interaction,ultimately ensuring poverty elimination and sustainable development.

文摘Internal multiple interference,affecting both seismic data processing and interpretation,has been observed for long time.Although great progress has been achieved in developing a variety of internal-multiple-elimination(IME)methods,how to increase accuracy and reduce cost of IME still poses a significant challenge.A new method is proposed to effectively and efficiently eliminate internal multi-ples,along with its application in internal-multiple-eliminated-migration(IMEM),addressing this issue.This method stems from two-way wave equation depth-extrapolation scheme and associated up/down wavefield separation,which can accomplish depth-extrapolation of both up-going and down-going wavefields simultaneously,and complete internal-multiple-elimination processing,adaptively and effi-ciently.The proposed method has several features:(1)input data is same as that for conventional migration:source signature(used for migration only),macro velocity model,and receiver data,without additional requirements for source/receiver sampling;(2)method is efficient,without need of iterative calculations(which are typically needed for most of IME algorithms);and(3)method is cost effective:IME is completed in the same depth-extrapolation scheme of IMEM,without need of a separate pro-cessing and additional cost.Several synthesized data models are used to test the proposed method:one-dimensional model,horizontal layered model,multi-layer model with one curved layer,and SEG/EAGE Salt model.Additionally,we perform a sensitivity analysis of velocity using smoothed models.This analysis reveals that although the accuracy of velocity measurements impacts our proposed method,it significantly reduces internal multiple false imaging compared to traditional RTM techniques.When applied to actual seismic data from a carbonate reservoir zone,our method demonstrates superior clarity in imaging results,even in the presence of high-velocity carbonate formations,outperforming conven-tional migration methods in deep strata.

文摘Semi-supervised new intent discovery is a significant research focus in natural language understanding.To address the limitations of current semi-supervised training data and the underutilization of implicit information,a Semi-supervised New Intent Discovery for Elastic Neighborhood Syntactic Elimination and Fusion model(SNID-ENSEF)is proposed.Syntactic elimination contrast learning leverages verb-dominant syntactic features,systematically replacing specific words to enhance data diversity.The radius of the positive sample neighborhood is elastically adjusted to eliminate invalid samples and improve training efficiency.A neighborhood sample fusion strategy,based on sample distribution patterns,dynamically adjusts neighborhood size and fuses sample vectors to reduce noise and improve implicit information utilization and discovery accuracy.Experimental results show that SNID-ENSEF achieves average improvements of 0.88%,1.27%,and 1.30%in Normalized Mutual Information(NMI),Accuracy(ACC),and Adjusted Rand Index(ARI),respectively,outperforming PTJN,DPN,MTP-CLNN,and DWG models on the Banking77,StackOverflow,and Clinc150 datasets.The code is available at https://github.com/qsdesz/SNID-ENSEF,accessed on 16 January 2025.
文摘The phenomenon of anti-symmetrical bifurcation of periodic solutionsoccurring near an integral manifold is the intrinsic cause resulting in harmonic resonanceover-voltage in power systems. Due to this discovery, the principle of eliminating resonance byusing anti-bifurcation technique is presented, which makes that the theoretical bases of verymeasure to eliminate resonance are unified firstly from a point of view of basic theory. Ourdiscussion models depend on a class of nonlinear control model. Using the direct Lyapunov method, acomplete theoretical proof is given in accordance with the measure of eliminating resonance byconnecting nonlinear resistor in series to the neutral point of P. T., and the feedback control lawbeing applied. It comprises the action of parameters of resistor to eliminate resonance and theactual process of eliminating resonance, i.e., to go against bifurcation process which forces thebig harmonic solutions to retreat to the integral manifold gradually and disappear eventually, whichby using the nonlinear controllers. This makes it sure that the intrinsic cause of resonance iseliminated thoroughly. The obtained theory results and computing results are better than thepresented results.
文摘AIM To study the effects of Radix Salviae Militiorrhiza (RSM), other blood-activating and stasis-eliminating Chinese herbs on hemodynamics of portal hypertension.METHODS Portal pressure of cirrhotic dogs after chronic common bile duct ligation was measured directly; portal blood flow in patients with liver cirrhosis were detected by ultrasound Doppler.RESULTS After administration of RSM and Radix Angelicae Sinensis (RAS) by intravenous infusion in cirrhosis dogs, the portal venous pressure (Ppv), wedge hepatic venous pressure (WHVP), hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), were significantly decreased (P<0.05-0.01), but the mean arterial pressure (MAP), and the heart rate (HR) remained unchanged. When nifedipine was used, Ppv, WHVP, MAP and HR were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the MVPG unchanged (P>0.05). After administration of RSM, RSM+nifedipine and RSM+Hirudin+Nifedpin for 10-12 weeks, the diameter of portal vein (Dpv), spleen vein (Dsv), the portal venous flow (Qpv) and splenic venous flow (Qsv) in patients with hepatic cirrhosis were significantly lowered (P<0.05-0.01), and the effect of RAS was weaker.CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of decreasing Ppv by Chinese herbs-RSM, RAS, etc. as compared with nifedipine, demonstrated that the Chinese herbs were slower in action than that of nifedipine, but more long-lasting and without side effects. Hence, long-term administration of Chinese herbs, would be more beneficial.

文摘Estuarine wetlands serve as a natural barrier to remove the land-generated pollutants and attenuate the pollutant load from the land to the sea. As one of the most important estuarine wetlands, the Yangtze estuarine wetlands have attracted particular interests in the biogeochemical studies of nutrients. The objectives of this study were to characterize the seasonal and spatial distribution of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) fluxes across the sediment-water interface; to calculate the total DIN fluxes in a year and different seasons; and to evaluate the DIN removing capability of the sediment in the tidal wetlands of the Yangtze Estuary. The spatial distribution of DIN fluxes shows complicated seasonal variations and spatial differences. The annual DIN fluxes range from -22.22 mmol N m^-2 h^-1 to 19.54 mmol N m^-2 h^-1, with an average of -1.48±1.34 mmol N mm^-2 h^-1. The tidal wetlands in the Yangtze Estuary behave as a source of water DIN in spring when DIN is released from sediment into overlying water, and the released amount of DIN is 1.33×10^4 tons of nitrogen (T N). In summer, autumn and winter, the sediment absorbs the DIN from the overlying water, and the absorbed amounts of DIN are 4.36×10^4 T N, 6.81×10^4 T N and 2.24×10^4 T N, respectively. The average amount of DIN in overlying water of the Yangtze Estuary is 52.6×10^4 T N yr^-1, and the perennial average amount of DIN absorbed from the overlying water by the sediment is 12.1 × 10^4 T N yr^-1. The annual DIN elimination rate of the tidal wetlands was 23.0%.
