This study involved 313 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at two Malaysian tertiary hospitals. Socio-demographic data were assessed using a pre-tested interviewer-administered structured questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements were carried out according to standard protocols. Clinical and laboratory characteristics were examined. Kappa (k) statistics were used for the agreement between the four MetS definitions. The overall prevalence rates of MetS (95% CI) were 95.8% (93.6-98.1), 96.1% (94.0-98.3), 84.8% (80.8-88.9) and 97.7% (96.1-99.4) according to the WHO, NCEP ATP III, IDF and the Harmonized definitions, respectively. The Kappa statistics demonstrated a slight to substantial agreement between the definitions (k = 0.179-0.875, p k = 0.875, p hest specificity (100%) in identifying MetS. In conclusion, the new Harmonized criteria established the highest prevalence of MetS among the four definitions applied. There was a very good concordance between the WHO and NCEP ATP III criteria. The extremely high prevalence of MetS observed in type 2 diabetic patients indicates an impending pandemic of CVD risk in Malaysia. Aggressive treatment of MetS components is required to reduce cardiovascular risk in T2DM.展开更多

Continuous improvements in the accuracy of surface mass loading products, performance of Earth models, and precise data-processing technologies have significantly advanced research on the effects of environmental loading on nonlinear variations in GNSS coordinate time series. However, owing to theoretical limitations, the lack of high spatiotemporal resolution surface mass observations, and the coupling of GNSS technology-related systematic errors, environmental loading and nonlinear GNSS reference station displacements remain inconsistent. The applicability and capability of these loading products across different regions also require further evaluation. This paper outlines methods for modeling environmental loading, surface mass loading products, and service organizations. In addition, it summarizes recent advances in applying environmental loading to address nonlinear variations in global and regional GNSS coordinate time series. Moreover, the scientific questions of existing studies are summarized, and insights into future research directions are provided. The complex nonlinear motion of reference stations is a major factor limiting the accuracy of the current terrestrial reference frame. Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.展开更多

Efficiently and accurately assessing aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades is essential in the routine design. In this work, the Time Collocation Method (TCM) which uses the cubic B-spline to approximate flow variables is first thoroughly studied and then combined with the moving grid technique to analyze aeroelastic flow fields. To showcase its advantage over the Harmonic Balance (HB) method which uses a truncated Fourier series to approximately represent flow variables, a matrix analysis of the one-dimensional advection equation is first performed. The results of stability analysis are verified by two test cases: the Durham linear oscillating turbine cascade and a two-blade-row transonic compressor. The vibration of the blade of the first case is driven by a motor while the excitation force of the second case comes from blade row interaction. The results show that the time collocation method has a faster convergence rate and is more stable than the harmonic balance method, especially for cases with a large maximum grid reduced frequency. More importantly, the time collocation method is capable of accurately predicting aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades.展开更多

Further refining the environmental load modeling method, establishing a surface mass distribution model with high spatiotemporal resolution and reliability, exploring other environmental load factors such as ice sheet and artificial mass-change effects, and developing an optimal data-processing model and strategy for reprocessing global reference station data consistently could contribute to the development of a millimeter-level nonlinear motion model for GNSS reference stations with actual physical significance and provide theoretical support for establishing a terrestrial reference frame with 1 mm accuracy by 2050.

文摘The CUG_CLMFM3D series comprises high-resolution three-dimensional lithospheric magnetic field models for China and its surroundings.The first version,CUG_CLMFM3Dv1,is a spherical cap harmonic model integrating the WDMAMv2(World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map version 2)global magnetic anomaly grid and nearly a decade of CHAMP(Challenging Minisatellite Payload for Geophysical Research and Application)satellite vector data.It achieves a~5.7 km resolution but has limitations:the WDMAMv2 grid lacks high-resolution data in the southern Xinjiang and Tibet regions,which leads to missing small-to medium-scale anomalies,and unfiltered CHAMP data introduce low-frequency conflicts with global spherical harmonic models.Above the altitude of 150 km,correlations with global models drop below 0.9.The second version,CUG_CLMFM3Dv2,addresses these issues by incorporating 5-km-resolution aeromagnetic data and rigorously processed satellite data from CHAMP,Swarm,CSES-1(China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite 1),and MSS-1(Macao Science Satellite 1).The comparison analysis shows that the CUG_CLMFM3Dv2 captures finer high-frequency details and more stable long-wavelength signals,offering improved magnetic anomaly maps for further geological and geophysical studies.

文摘The generation of optical vortices from nonlinear photonic crystals(NPCs)with spatially modulated second-order nonlinearity offers a promising approach to extend the working wavelength and topological charge of vortex beams for various applications.In this work,the second harmonic(SH)optical vortex beams generated from nonlinear fork gratings under Gaussian beam illumination are numerically investigated.The far-field intensity and phase distributions,as well as the orbital angular momentum(OAM)spectra of the SH beams,are analyzed for different structural topological charges and diffraction orders.Results reveal that higher-order diffraction and larger structural topological charges lead to angular interference patterns and non-uniform intensity distributions,deviating from the standard vortex profile.To optimize the SH vortex quality,the effects of the fundamental wave beam waist,crystal thickness,and grating duty cycle are explored.It is shown that increasing the beam waist can effectively suppress diffraction order interference and improve the beam’s quality.This study provides theoretical guidance for enhancing the performance of nonlinear optical devices based on NPCs.

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This paper analyzes the nonlinear dynamic characteristics and stability of Aero-Engine Dual-Rotor(AEDR)systems under high-frequency excitation,based on the Adaptive Harmonic Balance with the Asymptotic Harmonic Selection(AHB-AHS)method.A finite element dynamic equation for the AEDR system is introduced,considering complex nonlinearities of the intershaft bearing,unbalanced excitations,and high-frequency excitation.A solving strategy combining the AHB-AHS method and improved arclength continuation method is proposed to solve highdimensional dynamic equations containing complex nonlinearities and to track periodic solutions with parameter variations.The Floquet theory is used to analyze the types of bifurcation points in the system and the stability of periodic motions.The results indicate that high-frequency excitation can couple high-order and low-order modes,especially when the system undergoes superharmonic resonance.High-frequency excitation leads to more combination frequency harmonics,among which N_(f)ω_(1)-2ω_(2)dominates.Furthermore,changing the parameters(amplitude and frequency)of high-frequency excitation widens or shifts the unstable regions of the system.These findings contribute to understanding the mechanism of high-frequency excitation on aero-engines and demonstrate that the proposed AHB-AHS method is a powerful tool for analyzing highdimensional complex nonlinear dynamic systems under multi-frequency excitation.

文摘The integration of a large number of power electronic converters,such as railway power conditioner(RPC),introduces a series of problems,including harmonic interaction,stability issues,and wideband resonance,into the railway power supply system.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel harmonic resonance prevention measure for RPC-network-train interaction system.Firstly,a harmonic model,a parallel resonance impedance model,a series resonance admittance model,and a control stability model are each established for the RPC-network-train interaction system.Secondly,a comprehensive resonance impact factor(CRIF)is proposed to efficiently and accurately identify the key components affecting resonance,and to provide the selection results of optimization parameters for resonance prevention.Next,the initially selected parameters are constrained by the requirements of ripple current,reactive power and stability.Subsequently,the impedance parameters(control parameters and filter parameters)of the RPC are optimized with the objective of reshaping the parallel resonance impedance and series resonance admittance of the RPC-network-train interaction system,ensuring the output current har-monics of RPC meet standards to achieve resonance prevention,while ensuring the stable operation of the RPC.Finally,the proposed resonance prevention measure is verified under both light load and heavy load conditions using a simulation platform and a hardware-in-the-loop experimental platform.

文摘Spherical harmonic analysis(SHA)and synthesis(SHS)are widely used by researchers in various fields.Both numerical integration and least-squares methods can be employed for analysis and synthesis.However,these approaches,when calculated via summation,are computationally intensive.Although the Fast Fourier Transform(FFT)algorithm is efficient,it is traditionally limited to processing global grid points starting from zero longitude.In this paper,we derive an improved FFT algorithm for spherical harmonic analysis and synthesis.The proposed algorithm eliminates the need for grid points to start at zero longitude,thereby expanding the applicability of FFT-based methods.Numerical experiments demonstrate that the new algorithm retains the computational efficiency of conventional FFT while achieving accuracy comparable to the summation method.Consequently,it enables direct harmonic coefficient calculation from global grid data without requiring interpolation to align with zero longitude.Additionally,the algrithm can generate grid points with equi-angular spacing using the improved FFT algorithm,starting from non-zero longitudes.To address the loss of orthogonality in latitude due to discrete spherical grids,a quadrature weight factor-dependent on grid type(e.g.,regular or Gauss grid)-is incorporated,as summarized in this study.

文摘Conventional approaches for obtaining the second and third harmonics typically employ several nonlinear crystals to generate them,which is restricted in application due to the complexity of the optical path and the bulkiness of the device.In this work,we present a comprehensive theoretical and numerical investigation of the simultaneous generation and competition between the second harmonic waves(SHW)and the third harmonic waves(THW)in a single nonlinear crystal.Through analyzing both small-signal and large-signal regimes,we reveal the complex coupling mechanisms between SHW and THW generation processes.Using periodically poled lithium niobate as an example,we demonstrate that the relative conversion efficiencies between SHW and THW can be freely adjusted by controlling the input fundamental wave power.This work provides new insights for designing efficient frequency converters capable of generating both SHW and THW outputs with controllable intensity ratios.

文摘Flutter and forced response, as two main branches of aeroelasticity, can lead to high-cycle fatigue failure of turbomachinery blades. Efficiently and accurately assessing aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades is essential in the routine design. In this work, the Time Collocation Method (TCM) which uses the cubic B-spline to approximate flow variables is first thoroughly studied and then combined with the moving grid technique to analyze aeroelastic flow fields. To showcase its advantage over the Harmonic Balance (HB) method which uses a truncated Fourier series to approximately represent flow variables, a matrix analysis of the one-dimensional advection equation is first performed. The results of stability analysis are verified by two test cases: the Durham linear oscillating turbine cascade and a two-blade-row transonic compressor. The vibration of the blade of the first case is driven by a motor while the excitation force of the second case comes from blade row interaction. The results show that the time collocation method has a faster convergence rate and is more stable than the harmonic balance method, especially for cases with a large maximum grid reduced frequency. More importantly, the time collocation method is capable of accurately predicting aeroelastic performance of turbomachinery blades.
