Most studies conducted ...Although eye problems can occur at any age, they are often common from the age of 40. Eye diseases with a prevalence associated with age and aging will continue to increase in the coming years. Most studies conducted on problems in middle-aged people have focused on visual disorders without taking into account all the ocular morbidities that may affect this segment of the population, hence the present study, the aim of which is to determine the proportions of different eye diseases in people aged 40 and over. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the ophthalmology department covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020. Results: In total, we collected 828 patients aged 40 and over out of 1811 patients who received ophthalmological consultation during the study period, representing 45.72%. The most represented age group was 40 - 50 years, with an average age of 58.84 years and a maximum of 93 years. There were slightly more women (62.3%) than men (37.7%). The main reasons for consultation were decreased visual acuity (26.4%) and pruritus (19.9%). The main eye diseases diagnosed were cataracts (23%), allergic conjunctivitis (21.1%), and bacterial conjunctivitis (14.2%). Discussions: The predominance of cataracts in the diagnosed diseases confirms the literature data, according to which the main eye morbidities in middle-aged and elderly people are cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Conclusion: It is crucial to have a mastery of these epidemiological data of eye diseases in order to adapt the technical platforms of eye care structures to the needs of different segments of the population.展开更多

Most studies conducted on problems in middle-aged people have focused on visual disorders without taking into account all the ocular morbidities that may affect this segment of the population, hence the present study, the aim of which is to determine the proportions of different eye diseases in people aged 40 and over. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the ophthalmology department covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020. Results: In total, we collected 828 patients aged 40 and over out of 1811 patients who received ophthalmological consultation during the study period, representing 45.72%. The most represented age group was 40 - 50 years, with an average age of 58.84 years and a maximum of 93 years. There were slightly more women (62.3%) than men (37.7%). The main reasons for consultation were decreased visual acuity (26.4%) and pruritus (19.9%). The main eye diseases diagnosed were cataracts (23%), allergic conjunctivitis (21.1%), and bacterial conjunctivitis (14.2%). Discussions: The predominance of cataracts in the diagnosed diseases confirms the literature data, according to which the main eye morbidities in middle-aged and elderly people are cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Conclusion: It is crucial to have a mastery of these epidemiological data of eye diseases in order to adapt the technical platforms of eye care structures to the needs of different segments of the population.

文摘The frequency regulation reserve setting of wind-PV-storage power stations is crucial.However,the existing grid codes set up the station reserve in a static manner,where the synchronous generator characteristics and frequency-step disturbance scenario are considered.Thus,the advantages of flexible regulation of renewable generations are wasted,resulting in excessive curtailment of wind and solar resources.In this study,a method for optimizing the frequency regulation reserve of wind PV storage power stations was developed.Moreover,a station frequency regulation model was constructed,considering the field dynamic response and the coupling between the station and system frequency dynamics.Furthermore,a method for the online evaluation of the station frequency regulation was proposed based on the benchmark governor fitting.This method helps in overcoming the capacity-based reserve static setting.Finally,an optimization model was developed,along with the proposal of the linearized solving algorithm.The field data from the JH4#station in China’s MX power grid was considered for validation.The proposed method achieves a 24.77%increase in the station income while ensuring the system frequency stability when compared with the grid code-based method.

文摘As the development of new power systems progresses,the inherent inertia of power systems continues to diminish.Centralized frequency regulation,which relies on rapid communication and real-time control,can enable inverter-based thermostatically controlled load(ITCL)clusters to provide virtual inertia support to the power grid.However,ITCL clusters exhibit significant discrete response characteristics,which precludes the direct integration of load-side inertia support into the synchronous unit side.To address this issue,this paper elaborates on the existing technical framework and analyzes the underlying causes of the problem.It proposes a timestamp allocation mechanism for ITCL cluster control instructions,ensuring that many ITCL terminals can be triggered at staggered times,thereby allowing the load cluster power to adhere to the inertia analog control law at any moment.Building on this foundation,the paper further examines the impact of the inertia response delay of ITCL clusters,which is based on centralized frequency regulation,on the stability of the power system.A design scheme for inertia analog control parameters is proposed,taking into account dual constraints,frequency stability and load cluster regulation capacity.Finally,the feasibility and applicability of the proposed mechanism and parameter design scheme are investigated through simulations conducted via MATLAB/Simulink.

文摘In modern war,radar countermeasure is becoming increasingly fierce,and the enemy jamming time and pattern are changing more randomly.It is challenging for the radar to efficiently identify jamming and obtain precise parameter information,particularly in low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)situations.In this paper,an approach to intelligent recognition and complex jamming parameter estimate based on joint time-frequency distribution features is proposed to address this challenging issue.Firstly,a joint algorithm based on YOLOv5 convolutional neural networks(CNNs)is proposed,which is used to achieve the jamming signal classification and preliminary parameter estimation.Furthermore,an accurate jamming key parameters estimation algorithm is constructed by comprehensively utilizing chi-square statistical test,feature region search,position regression,spectrum interpolation,etc.,which realizes the accurate estimation of jamming carrier frequency,relative delay,Doppler frequency shift,and other parameters.Finally,the approach has improved performance for complex jamming recognition and parameter estimation under low SNR,and the recognition rate can reach 98%under−15 dB SNR,according to simulation and real data verification results.

文摘In this paper,a linear optimization method(LOM)for the design of terahertz circuits is presented,aimed at enhancing the simulation efficacy and reducing the time of the circuit design workflow.This method enables the rapid determination of optimal embedding impedance for diodes across a specific bandwidth to achieve maximum efficiency through harmonic balance simulations.By optimizing the linear matching circuit with the optimal embedding impedance,the method effectively segregates the simulation of the linear segments from the nonlinear segments in the frequency multiplier circuit,substantially improving the speed of simulations.The design of on-chip linear matching circuits adopts a modular circuit design strategy,incorporating fixed load resistors to simplify the matching challenge.Utilizing this approach,a 340 GHz frequency doubler was developed and measured.The results demonstrate that,across a bandwidth of 330 GHz to 342 GHz,the efficiency of the doubler remains above 10%,with an input power ranging from 98 mW to 141mW and an output power exceeding 13 mW.Notably,at an input power of 141 mW,a peak output power of 21.8 mW was achieved at 334 GHz,corresponding to an efficiency of 15.8%.

文摘To explore the electrostatic discharge behavior of charged powders in industrial silos,discharge experiments are conducted based on a full-size industrial silo discharge platform.Electrostatic discharge mode,frequency,and energy are investigated for powders of different polarities.Although the powders have low charge-to-mass ratios(+0.087μC/kg for the positively charged powders and−0.26μC/kg for the negatively charged ones),electrostatic discharges occur approximately every 10 s,with the maximum discharge energy being 800 mJ.Powder polarity considerably influences discharge energy.The positive powders exhibit higher discharge energy than the negative ones,although discharge frequency remains similar for both.Effects of powder charge,humidity,and mass flow on discharge frequency and discharge energy are quantitatively analyzed,providing important insights for the improvement of safety in industrial powder handling.
文摘Delineation of hydrocarbon-bearing sands and the extent of accumulation using seismic data is a reoccurring challenge for many fields.This study addressed the existing challenges of delineating a known hydrocarbon region for a thin-pay reservoir using conventional attributes extraction methods.The efficacy of applying iso-frequency extraction and spectral frequency blending in identifying thin-pay and thick-pay reservoirs on seismic was tested by utilizing 3D seismic data and well logs data of Terra field in the Western Niger Delta Basin.Well tops of all the reservoirs in the field were picked and two reservoirs that correspond to thin-and thick-pay reservoirs,namely A and F were identified respectively.The gross pay thickness of reservoir A is 18 ft while that of reservoir F is 96 ft.Conventional attribute extraction such as RMS amplitude,minimum amplitude,and average energy can be used to identify the hydrocarbon-bearing region in reservoir F but was not applicable for identifying the thin-pay reservoir A.This prompted the interest of using iso-frequency extractions and spectral frequency blending of three iso-frequency cubes of 12 Hz,30 Hz,and 70 Hz to get a spectral frequency RGB cube.The 12 Hz isofrequency can be used to partially identify hydrocarbon-bearing region in reservoir A while the 30Hz iso-frequency can be used to partially identify hydrocarbon-bearing region in reservoir F.The results show that time slices from the spectral frequency blended cube were able to delineate both the thin-pay and thick-pay hydrocarbon-bearing regions as high amplitude.The extractions also conformed to the structure of the two reservoirs.However,there seems to be a color difference in the amplitude display for both reservoirs.The thick-pay reservoir showed a red color on the time slice while the thin-pay reservoir showed a green color.This study has shown that spectral frequency blending is a more effective tool than conventional attributes extractions in identifying hydrocarbon-bearing region using seismic data.The methodology utilized in this study can be applied to other fields with similar challenges and for identifying prospective hydrocarbon bearing areas.

文摘Cross-regional high voltage direct current(HVDC)systems bring remarkable renewable power injections to the receiver side of power grids.However,HVDC failures result in large disturbances to receivers and cause critical frequency security problems.High renewable energy penetration also reduces the system inertia and damping coefficients.Thus,some nodal frequency nadirs may be much lower than those calculated by the center-of-inertia(COI)and may trigger low-frequency protection.Energy storage is a promising solution for frequency-related problems.In this study,we build an energy storage planning model considering both COI and nodal frequency security constraints.The energy storage capacities and locations are determined in the planning scheme based on year-round operations.First,we carry out a year-round COI-frequency-constrained unit commitment to obtain comprehensive operation modes.Next,we propose a hybrid data-model driven approach to generate nodal frequency security constraints for extensive operation modes effectively.Finally,we achieve optimal energy storage planning with both COI and nodal frequency constraints.Case studies on a modified RTS-79 test system and a 1089-bus power system in practical in Jiangsu,China,verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

文摘Vibration detection using sensors with both wide working frequency range,good sensitivity,and other good performances is a topic of great interest in fields such as inertial navigation,deep-sea fishing boat engines condition monitoring,seismic monitoring,attitude,and heading reference system,etc.This paper investigates two 6H-SIC MEMS diaphragms,one triangular and the other square,used in a fiber optic Fabry–Perot(FP)accelerometer in an experimental scenario.The triangular chip shows a wide working frequency range of 630 Hz–5300 Hz,a natural frequency of 44.3 k Hz,and a mechanical sensitivity of 0.154 nm/g.An optimal structure of the square chip used in a probe such as a fiber optic FP accelerometer also shows a wide working frequency range of 120 Hz–2300 Hz;a good sensitivity of 31.5 m V/g,a resonance frequency of7873 Hz,an accuracy of 0.96%F.S.,a frequency measurement error of 1.15%,and an excellent linearity of 0.9995.
文摘The usage characteristics of the large numerals in child language reflects both linguistic and cognitive development.The present study systematically examined Mandarin children’s naturalistic use of large numerals“bai”,“qian”,and“wan”and compared it with adult usage patterns based on a self-constructed corpus.The results revealed a significant preference for the use of“bai”over both“qian”and“wan”among children and adults alike.This shared pattern suggests that children’s acquisition of large numerals is strongly shaped by adult language input.This study addresses a critical gap in research on the acquisition of large numerals by Mandarin-speaking children,providing valuable insights for the broader theoretical framework of cross-linguistic numerical cognition.
文摘Semantic segmentation of novel object categories with limited labeled data remains a challenging problem in computer vision.Few-shot segmentation methods aim to address this problem by recognizing objects from specific target classes with a few provided examples.Previous approaches for few-shot semantic segmentation typically represent target classes using class prototypes.These prototypes are matched with the features of the query set to get segmentation results.However,class prototypes are usually obtained by applying global average pooling on masked support images.Global pooling discards much structural information,which may reduce the accuracy of model predictions.To address this issue,we propose a Category-Guided Frequency Modulation(CGFM)method.CGFM is designed to learn category-specific information in the frequency space and leverage it to provide a twostage guidance for the segmentation process.First,to self-adaptively activate class-relevant frequency bands while suppressing irrelevant ones,we leverage the Dual-Perception Gaussian Band Pre-activation(DPGBP)module to generate Gaussian filters using class embedding vectors.Second,to further enhance category-relevant frequency components in activated bands,we design a Support-Guided Category Response Enhancement(SGCRE)module to effectively introduce support frequency components into the modulation of query frequency features.Experiments on the PASCAL-5^(i) and COCO-20^(i) datasets demonstrate the promising performance of our model.
