Methods： Two classes from the 2012 senior graduating nursing class were randomly selected by a computer to conduct the diversified practical teaching methods based on animal experimentation. A hospital environment was simulated by requiring students to perform different types of injections and practical IV infusion techniques. A comprehensive evaluation of the core professional competencies, as well as other integrated competencies, was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the teaching methods. Results： Two-sampled, pairwise u-tests were performed between the scores of the experimental （nursing class 2） and control （nursing class 1） groups. These findings showed that the overall test scores were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group and that the average P-values for the competencies in various categories were 〈0.01, which indicated statistically significant results. Conclusions： Based on the data from this project, diversified teaching methods for basic nursing training founded on animal experimentation can help nursing students perfect their core professional competencies and improve their overall professional standing. The introduction of animal experimentation requires further verification, and an increased acknowledgement of its benefits through the widespread dissemination of this information.展开更多

Recovery potential from oil reservoirs by miscible flue gas injection was studied by slim tube and field-scale numerical simulation using two flue gases and seven crude oils sampled at different depths in three candidate reservoirs. The soft experimentations were conducted using Eclipse300<sup>TM</sup>, a three-phase compositional simulator. This study investigates minimum miscibility pressure (MMP), a significant miscible gas injection project screening tool. Successful design of the project is contingent to the accurate determination of the MMP. This study evaluates effects of important factors such as injection pressure, oil component composition, and injection gas composition on the MMP and recovery efficiency for slim tube and field-scale displacements. Two applicable MMP correlations were used for comparison and validation purposes.展开更多

The process can be measured in plant, animal, and human usage through a variety of experimental or testing forms. Animal studies were conducted for which, in the first day of the study all the animals consistently gained dramatic weight, even as a toxic substance was introduced as described in the introduction of the paper to harm animal subjects which induced weight loss through toxicity. Tests can be made by incorporating blood report results. Human patients were also observed to show improvement to their health as administration of the substance was introduced to the biological mechanism and plants were initially exposed to the substance to observe results. This is consistent with the Tiêu equation which provides that wave function is created as the introduction of the substance to the biological mechanism which supports Quantum Mechanics. The Tiêu equation demonstrates that Quantum Mechanics moves a particle by temperature producing energy thru the blood-brain barrier for example. Methods: The methods for the Tiêu equation incorporate animal studies to include the substance administered through laboratory standards using Good Laboratory Practices under Title 40 C.F.R. § 158. Human patients were treated with the substance by medical professionals who are experts in their field and have knowledge to the response of patients. Plant applications were acquired for observation and guidance of ongoing experiments of animals’ representative for the biologics mechanism. Results: The animal studies along with patient blood testing results have been an impressive line that has followed the Tiêu equation to consistently show improvement in the introduction of the innovation to biologic mechanisms. The mechanism responds to the substance by producing energy to the mechanism with efficient effect. For plant observations, plant organisms responded, and were seen as showing improvement thru visual observation.展开更多

The dryer was designed using local materials. Its main geometric parameters are: 1) height of the drying chamber (90 cm), 2) length of the drying chamber (50 cm), 3) width of the drying chamber (43 cm), 4) surface of the racks (0.1806 m<sup>2</sup>), 5) surface of the heat accumulator (0.2537 m<sup>2</sup>). The experiment focused on the vacuum test of the dryer for two days and that of the drying of the sweet potato for three days from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The average vacuum test temperature values of the three environments are respectively accumulator (43°C), dryer chamber (41°C) and ambient environment (34°C). Four kilograms (4 kg) of boiled sweet potato were dried. The average temperatures in the accumulator and in the drying chamber during the three days of drying are respectively 33°C and 39°C. The final mass of the dried product is 1.2 kg, with a quantity of water extracted of 2 liters or 63% of the initial mass of the product. The average drying rate is 0.074 kg/h. The drying kinetics showed a decreasing rate in the absence of the heating period and the constant rate period.展开更多

The machine is used to conduct different experiments related to the deep drawing process. This work was implemented in three stages： the first was the design stage, in which all design calculations of the DDM elements were completed based on the specifications of the product （cup） to be drawn; the second was the construction stage, in which the DDM elements were fabricated and assembled at the engineering workshops of the university; the last was the operating and experimentation stage, in which the DDM was tested by conducting different experiments.

文摘Pathological scarring,manifested in the form of hypertrophic scars(HTS)and keloid scars(KS),represents a major clinical challenge due to its aesthetic and functional implications for patients.Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in these types of scars and developing effective treatments requires the use of controlled ex-perimental models,especially animals,to overcome the limitations of clinical studies.The aim of this sistematic review is to critically analyze the animal models used in the last five years(2020-2025)for the study of pathological scars,highlighting their advantages,limitations and applicability in the development of new therapeutic strat-egies.Murine,rabbit and porcine models,as well as alternative models,offer varied perspectives on the formation and treatment of HTS and KS,with an emphasis on histological and molecular correlations with human pathology.By synthesizing recent data,the paper highlights the essential role of preclinical research in optimizing an-tifibrotic treatments and in advancing the translation of data into the clinical sphere.Overall,animal models remain essential for bridging mechanistic insights with clinical translation,supporting the development of more effective and personalized anti-scar therapies.

文摘Heavy-ion collisions(HICs)is a unique experimental tool for investigating the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions in the laboratory.At HIRFL-CSR energies,HICs can create nuclear matter with 2-3 times the saturation density(ρ_(0)).The HIRFL-CSR external-target experiment(CEE)is a large-acceptance spectrometer designed to explore frontier topics in high-energy nuclear physics,such as the QCD phase structure and nuclear matter equation of states.In this letter,we introduce simulation and analysis software for the CEE experiment(CeeROOT).Based on the CEE conceptual design and CeeROOT software,the configurations of its subdetectors were optimized by considering foreseeable physical constraints.The final detector layout of the CEE spectrometer and its acceptances were validated through simulations of U+U collisions at 500 MeV/u and pp collisions at 2.8 GeV,which demonstrated that the CEE experiment will serve as a detector with wide acceptance and multi-particle identification capabilities for studying high-energy nuclear physics topics at HIRFL-CSR energies with pp,pA,and A A collisions.

文摘The native thelytokous(TH)and arrhenotokous(AR)strains of Neochrysocharis formosa(Westwood)(Hymenoptera:Eulophidae)are promising biocontrol agents against the invasive tomato pest Tuta absoluta(Meyrick)(Lepidoptera:Gelechiidae).This study assessed the performance and preferences of these strains in choice experiments involving five host instar ratios and evaluated their functional responses to seven densities of 1st instar larvae(5 to 40 hosts).In host-attacking behavior assays,an increasing proportion of 1st instar larvae led to a significant rise in host mortality rates for both strains.Both strains exhibited strong preferences for parasitizing and attacking 1st instar larvae over later instars,with the TH strain demonstrating significantly greater host-killing efficacy than the AR strain.Functional response experiments revealed that the attack rates of both strains were positively correlated with host density.Parasitism by both strains and host-stinging behavior by the TH strain showed type Ⅲ functional responses,while host-feeding by both strains and host-stinging by the AR strain followed type Ⅱ functional responses.Early establishment of the TH strain in tomato agroecosystems could enhance the management of T.absoluta.These findings provide critical insights into the functional dynamics of the TH and AR strains of N.formosa that can inform the development of effective biocontrol programs for this globally significant pest.

文摘The Zeeman effect,a fundamental quantum phenomenon,demonstrates the interaction between magnetic fields and atomic systems.While precise spectroscopic measurements of this effect have advanced significantly,there remains a lack of simple,visually accessible demonstration for educational purposes.Here,we present a low-cost experiment that allows for direct visual observation of the Zeeman effect.Our setup involves a flame containing sodium(from table salt)placed in front of a sodium vapor lamp.When a magnetic field is applied to the flame,the shadow cast by the flame noticeably lightens,providing a clear,naked-eye demonstration of the Zeeman effect.Furthermore,we conduct two quantitative experiments using this setup,examining the effects of varying magnetic field strength and sodium concentration.This innovative approach not only enriches the experimental demonstration for teaching atomic physics at undergraduate and high school levels but also provides an open platform for students to explore the Zeeman effect through hands-on experience.
文摘Experimental therapies targeting immune and stromal cells,such as mast cells,cancer-associated fibroblasts,dendritic cells,and tumor endothelial cells,in the treatment of gastrointestinal solid tumors pose new and complex surgical and medico-legal challenges.These innovative treatments require that informed consent not be limited to simple acceptance of the medical procedure,but instead reflect a true relational and cognitive process grounded in understanding,free choice,and the ability to revoke consent at any time.In particular,it is essential that the patient understands the experimental nature of the therapy,its development stage,potential benefits and risks,as well as the implications for their health and personal dignity.In the case of stromal cell-based treatments,which may exert complex immunomodulatory effects or activate angiogenic pathways that are not yet fully understood,patients must be made fully aware that they are participating in a non-standardized therapy whose outcomes,whether beneficial or harmful,cannot yet be predicted with certainty.This requires particularly careful medical communication,using simple yet scientifically accurate explanations delivered in appropriate language,along with a final verification of the patient’s actual understanding.

文摘Recovered samples of Jilin H5 chondrite experimentally shocked to 12-133 GPa were studied to explore the behavior of opaque minerals under shock loading using SEM-EDS,Raman spectroscopy,and TIMA.The following results were obtained.Firstly,at pressures lower than 53GPa,the opaque minerals still keep the unmelted state,while at 78 GPa and higher,FeNi metal and troilite form eutectic intergrowths occurring as disorderly fine veinlets filling the shock-induced fractures in silicate minerals.Secondly,single kamacite grains still maintain their contour at 12 GPa,but a part of brittle troilite grains was fragmented and squeezed into the shock-induced fractures within kamacite grains.At53 and 133 GPa,many more troilite fragments are poured in the kamacite interior to form disordered hybrid aggregates or to form squiggly strips,respectively.Similar phenomena are observed within single troilite grains,but the mineral squeezed into troilite grains is kamacite.Thirdly,chromite is a hard and refractory oxide mineral.When the shock pressure rises step by step from 12 to 133 GPa,the shock effect of chromite is only fragmentation.Its grain size decreases from tens of um at 53 GPa to a few um at 133 GPa.And,fourthly,native copper exhibits distinct redistribution behavior at high temperature.In Jilin samples shock-loaded to 12 GPa,copper initially located at troilite-kamacite interfaces partially transferred into small troilite grains containing fine FeNi particles.At 53 and 133 GPa,native copper preferentially transferred into larger troilite grains containing more particles of eutectic FeNi metal.

文摘Rock-ice avalanches in cold high-mountain regions pose severe hazards due to their high mobility,yet the quantitative controls of particle-size ratio and ice content remain insufficiently constrained.This study investigates their coupled effects using inclinedflume experiments and Discrete Element Method(DEM)simulations,covering three gravel sizes(2-5 mm,5-7 mm,7-10 mm)and four ice-content levels(0%,20%,40%,60%).Run-out distance,velocity,energy components,flow regime(Savage number),and segregation indexαwere quantified.Increasing ice content significantly enhances mobility,but with diminishing marginal effectiveness.From 0%to 40%ice content,run-out distance increases by 41%-86%,whereas the additional increase from 40%to 60%contributes only 12%-23%.Particle-size ratio strongly governs segregation intensity.Fine-gravel groups reach segregation indices ofα=0.92-0.98,indicating nearly complete upward migration of ice,whereas medium-gravel and coarse-gravel groups exhibit much weaker segregation,stabilizing atα=0.68-0.74 and 0.60-0.69.Savage number analyses reveal marked flow-regime transitions.At 0%ice content,Savage numbers reach 1.0-1.5,indicating a collisional regime.Increasing ice content suppresses collisionality,with Savage numbers decreasing to 0.03-0.07 at 60%ice content,consistent with dense-regime flow.DEM energy analyses confirm this regime shift:for finegravel mixtures,collision energy decreases by 14%,while sliding-friction energy increases by 33%as ice content increases from 0%to 60%,reflecting enhanced overburden effects imposed by upward-segregated ice layers.Medium and coarse mixtures exhibit weaker or opposite energy-shift patterns,demonstrating strong size dependence.Mechanistically,large particle-size contrasts promote strong segregation and form dense basal rock layers that increase basal friction and reduce mobility.When particle sizes are similar or ice content is high,segregation remains limited,allowing ice to mix into the basal layer,thereby reducing basal friction and enhancing mobility.This research quantitatively demonstrates how composition controls particle spatial distribution,flow regime,and energy dissipation,offering new mechanistic insights into the propagation and deposition behaviors of rock-ice avalanches and improving hazard assessment in vulnerable high-mountain regions.

文摘Space-filling designs with superior low-dimensional properties are highly required in computer experiments.Strong orthogonal arrays(SOAs)represent a class of such designs that outperform ordinary orthogonal arrays in their stratification properties within low dimensions.Nevertheless,current methods for constructing high-strength SOAs are rare,and they typically rely on regular designs,thereby limiting the number of runs in the final arrays to prime powers.This study presents new construction methods for three types of SOAs:SOAs of strength three,column-orthogonal SOAs(OSOAs)of strength three and three minus.The resulting designs have run sizes of twice an odd prime power without replications,filling the gaps in run sizes left by existing constructions.The projection properties of Addelman–Kempthorne orthogonal arrays are instrumental in the development of these construction methods.
