For the purpose of facilitating data transmission, AaF relays are utilized to regulate signal communication between sensors and filters. Here, the randomly varying channel parameters are represented by a set of stochastic variables whose occurring probabilities are permitted to exhibit bounded uncertainty. Employing the spherical-radial cubature principle, a local filter under AaF relays is initially constructed. This construction ensures and minimizes an upper bound of the filtering error covariance by designing an appropriate filter gain. Subsequently, the local filters are fused through the application of the covariance intersection fusion rule. Furthermore, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error covariance's upper bound is investigated through establishing certain sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CKFF scheme is ultimately validated via a simulation experiment concentrating on a three-phase induction machine.展开更多

Intersection syndrome, ...Background: Wrist pain is prevalent. Activities such as dexterous sports, prolonged use of personal handheld devices, and extensive desktop keyboard usage are common contributors to wrist pain. Intersection syndrome, a form of inflammatory tenosynovitis, occurs at the intersection of the first and second dorsal compartments of the wrist. The first dorsal compartment is comprised of the tendons of abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis, while the second dorsal compartment contains the tendons of extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis. Intersection syndrome is diagnosed by pain localized to the dorsoradial forearm, approximately five cm proximal to the wrist joint, which worsens with resisted wrist and thumb extension. To date, the use of hydro dissection with 5% dextrose under ultrasound guidance as a treatment for Intersection syndrome has not been reported. This case report presents the first report on ultrasound-guided hydro dissection as a therapeutic approach for intersection syndrome. Methods: A case report, with informed consent, involving a 32-year-old male athlete. The patient, a hurling player, presented with chronic right wrist pain diagnosed as intersection syndrome. The condition significantly affected his work, sporting activities, and daily living activities. Previous conservative management and physiotherapy had failed to alleviate his symptoms. To confirm the diagnosis, relevant imaging was performed, supplemented by dynamic ultrasound assessment. The procedure was performed aseptically. Continuous ultrasound guidance was employed to ensure accurate needle placement. Once the needle tip position was confirmed, an initial injection of 5 mL of 0.25% chirocaine was administered. 10 mL of 5% dextrose was injected under ultrasound guidance for hydro dissection, with good visualization of the solution’s distribution. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided hydro dissection has not previously been documented as a treatment option for intersection syndrome. In this case, it proved to be an effective pain-relieving therapy with sustained effect at three-month clinical follow-up. Further studies are required.展开更多

文摘In the next few years traffic will happen most of the time.This was triggered by the growing rate of vehicles against the road capacity which is not balance.All the time the congestion in the city of Semarang has occured at peak hours.Congestion also occured in between Teuku Umar and Setia Budi road Jatingaleh because of a plot intersection(Kesatrian intersection,PLN intersection and Jatingaleh intersection)with the Toll Road.Jatingaleh is located in the southern city of Semarang which is a central meeting point between the upper and lower Semarang where the vehicle flows in through a combination of local current and regional traffic,and the flow of vehicles coming in and out from highway.The main cause of the problems that occurred in the area of Jatingaleh is due to the numbers of vehicles movement that occurs at the intersections.With the above issues,it is necessary to analyse the existing conditions and look into some solutions.Before carrying out an analysis a field surveys at peak hours for example morning(06:00 to 08:00 am)and for the afternoon(04:00 to 06:00 pm)should be conducted,then the number of vehicles is counted manually with“short-breakcounting”according to types of vehicles.From the analysis we found that the degree of saturation(DS)is 1.61 between Teuku Umar and Setia Budi road during the morning peak hours and 1.56 during the afternoon peak hours.This means that the capacity of the existing road is no longer able to accommodate the traffic flow.One of the solutions for the congestion that occurs at the intersection of Jatingaleh is to apply the efficiency of the intersection that is not in a plot with a Fly over,Underpass and the combination of Fly Over-Underpass.Base on the flow reduction calculation with 3 comparative modeling it shows that the Fly Over is the most technically efficient to be applied in this research.
文摘This psychobiographical study on Bessie Head,a bi-racial writer from the South African apartheid period,explored early experiences that defined her identity,personality development and prominence in post-colonial African literature.For the case conceptual framing,we integrate Donald W.Winnicott’s object relations theory with intersectional feminism to explore her identity by the complex interactions between her psychological experiences and socio-political contexts.Our mixed-methodological approach that combines du Plessis’(2017)structured framework and Knight’s(2019)Phenomenological-hermeneutic Life-narrative Analysis.The analysis revealed three central findings.First,Bessie’s identity development was shaped by early abandonment and racial liminality,resulting in a fragmented sense of self.Second,her emotional and psychological instability was compounded by intersecting experiences of racism,sexism,and exile.Third,her writing and relationships functioned as coping mechanisms and transitional phenomena,offering potential spaces of psychological resilience.From this psychobiographical study framed on intersectional research,the evidence suggests that marginalized identities and a commitment to social justice are revealed by exploring the relationships between individual psychology and systemic influences.

文摘Traffic at urban intersections frequently encounters unexpected obstructions,resulting in congestion due to uncooperative and priority-based driving behavior.This paper presents an optimal right-turn coordination system for Connected and Automated Vehicles(CAVs)at single-lane intersections,particularly in the context of left-hand side driving on roads.The goal is to facilitate smooth right turns for certain vehicles without creating bottlenecks.We consider that all approaching vehicles share relevant information through vehicular communications.The Intersection Coordination Unit(ICU)processes this information and communicates the optimal crossing or turning times to the vehicles.The primary objective of this coordination is to minimize overall traffic delays,which also helps improve the fuel consumption of vehicles.By considering information from upcoming vehicles at the intersection,the coordination system solves an optimization problem to determine the best timing for executing right turns,ultimately minimizing the total delay for all vehicles.The proposed coordination system is evaluated at a typical urban intersection,and its performance is compared to traditional traffic systems.Numerical simulation results indicate that the proposed coordination system significantly enhances the average traffic speed and fuel consumption compared to the traditional traffic system in various scenarios.

文摘The intersection is a widely used traffic line structure from the shallow tunnel to the deep roadway,and determining the subsidence hidden danger area of the roof is the key to its stability control.However,applying traditional maximum equivalent span beam(MESB)theory to determine deformation range,peak point,and angle influence poses a challenge.Considering the overall structure of the intersection roof,the maximum equivalent triangular plate(METP)theory is proposed,and its geometric parameter calculation formula and deflection calculation formula are obtained.The application of the two theories in 18 models with different intersection angles,roadway types,and surrounding rock lithology is verified by numerical analysis.The results show that:1)The METP structure of the intersection roof established by the simulation results of each model successfully determined the location of the roof’s high displacement zone;2)The area comparison method of the METP theory can be reasonably explained:①The roof subsidence of the intersection decreases with the increase of the intersection angle;②The roof subsidence at the intersection of different roadway types has a rectangular type>arch type>circular type;③The roof subsidence of the intersection with weak surrounding rock is significantly larger than that of the intersection with hard surrounding rock.According to the application results of the two theories,the four advantages of the METP theory are compared and clarified in the basic assumptions,mechanical models,main viewpoints,and mechanism analysis.The large deformation inducement of the intersection roof is then explored.The J 2 peak area of the roof drives the large deformation of the area,the peak point of which is consistent with the center of gravity position of the METP.Furthermore,the change in the range of this peak is consistent with the change law of the METP’s area.Hence,this theory clarifies the large deformation area of the intersection roof,which provides a clear guiding basis for its initial support design,mid-term monitoring,and late local reinforcement.

文摘We constructed a new set of diabatic poten-tial energy surfaces(PESs)for the two low-est states involved in Li+Li_(2)reaction by us-ing the fundamental-invariant neural net-work method.The Li_(3)system exhibits a coni-cal intersection(CI)at the geometric D_(3)h symmetries with the energy of the CI point significantly lower than the ground-state en-ab initio ergy of the diatomic molecule.The diabaitc PESs accurately reproduce adiabatic en-ergies,derivative coupling,and energy gradient information,thereby providing a high-fideli-ty description of the CI between the two lowest electronic states.Quantum dynamical calcu-lations have revealed significant non-adiabatic effects in the Li+Li_(2)reaction.
文摘At a time when humanity grapples with intersecting deficits in peace,development,security and governance,civilizations stand at a crossroads.As traditional Western-led solutions falter,China’s Global Civilization Initiative(GCI)emerges as a transformative framework,translating historical wisdom into actionable strategies.Recent forums like the 11th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations and the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting underscore growing consensus on core principles:equality,mutual learning,inclusive dialogue,and collaborative response to global challenges.As Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out in his congratulatory letter to the Global Civilizations Dialogue Ministerial Meeting,“History shows that exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations are essential for civilizations to flourish and for human progress to be made.”

文摘Laser-directed energy deposition(L-DED)is an advanced additive manufacturing technology primarily adopted in metal three-dimensional printing systems.The L-DED process is characterized by various defects,thus necessitating the extensive use of in-situ monitoring to enable real-time adjustments of process parameters by detecting molten-pool features.To address the challenge of accurately extracting the molten-pool morphology from an undetached spatter,an innovative monitoring method based on the U-Net(U-shaped network)is proposed herein.A lightweight architecture accelerates the processing speed,whereas an enhanced loss function incorporating weight maps augments the segmentation precision.The model performance is evaluated by comparing its segmentation accuracy and processing speed with those of the conventional U-Net,using the mean intersection over union(MIoU)as the segmentation metric.The improved model demonstrates superior segmentation accuracy at the interface between the molten pool and spatter,with a peak MIoU of 0.9798 achieved on the test set.Furthermore,this model processes each image in an extremely short time of 17.9 ms.Using this segmentation algorithm,the error in extracting the molten-pool width from single-track experiments is within 0.1 mm.The proposed method for monitoring the molten-pool morphology is suitable for deployment in online monitoring systems,thus providing a foundation for subsequent process-parameter regulation.

文摘Light-induced conical intersections(LICIs)present a distinctive mechanism for nonadiabatic coupling,thereby facilitating ultrafast chemical reactions,including the indirect photodissociation of diatomic molecules.In contrast to static conical intersections,LICIs are dynamically tunable,providing a pathway for precise control of molecular dissociation.In this study,we employ the time-dependent quantum wave packet method to investigate the dissociation dynamics of the OH molecule,focusing on its ground state X^(2)Πand repulsive state 1^(2)Σ~-.By varying laser field parameters(intensity,full width at half maximum(FWHM),and wavelength),we elucidate how nonadiabatic coupling governs selective dissociation channel control.Our findings reveal that the choice of initial vibrational states and the tailoring of laser conditions significantly influence dissociation pathways,providing theoretical insights into manipulating molecular dynamics via LICIs.These results provide a foundation for future experimental studies and the development of advanced molecular control techniques.

文摘A new two-state diabatic potential energy matrix(DPEM)for H3 has been constructed,based on the fun-damental invariant neural network(FI-NN)diabatization method pro-posed in our previous work[Phys.Chem.Chem.Phys.21,15040(2019)].In that initial effort,a two-state DPEM was constructed only with a 10 eV energy threshold.The current work aims to expand the en-ergy range and improve the accura-cy of DPEM.This is achieved by the utilization of full configuration inter-action(FCI)with aug-cc-pVnZ ba-sis sets and complete basis set(CBS)extrapolation.The original dataset is augmented with additional points with higher adiabatic energies,which give rise to a total of 10985 data points.The DPEM constructed in this work now enables accurate representation of adiabatic energies up to 18 eV.Quantum dynamic calculations based on this DPEM are nearly identical to those obtained from benchmark surfaces,which makes it the most accurate DPEM for the H3 system to date,therefore facilitating detailed exploration of reaction mechanisms at higher collision energies.

文摘Dynamic recrystallization(DRX)is of great significance for the thermomechanical processing and microstructural regulation of TiAl intermetallics.However,the underlying DRX mechanism remains poorly understood.In this study,an Avrami kinetics model for DRX was established,which was capable of predicting the DRX fraction accurately.In addition,the effect of Al_(2)O_(3)short fiber on the DRX mechanisms of TiAl matrix composite during the isothermal compression was investigated for the first time.The re-sults showed that other than inhibiting DRX by particles in the TiAl matrix composites,the addition of Al_(2)O_(3)short fiber accelerated a novel DRX process,which was induced by twinning and twin intersec-tions(TDRX).Thus,this composite exhibited a higher DRX rate than that of the as-cast TiAl monolithic alloy.The origin of the twin intersection and TDRX for the composite was revealed.The stress concentration near the Al_(2)O_(3)fiber was above the critical shear stress for twinning and thus was favorable for the formation of twinning and twin intersections.The high stored strain energy at the regions of twins and twin intersections provided the driving force for TDRX.TDRX accelerated the grain refinement in the TiAl matrix near the Al_(2)O_(3)fiber.The present findings would provide a new perspective on DRX mechanisms,and provide the scientific guidance for optimizing the microstructures of TiAl matrix composites.

文摘To improve the hit probability of tank at high speed,a prediction method of projectile-target intersection based on adaptive robust constraint-following control and interval uncertainty analysis is proposed.The method proposed provides a novel way to predict the impact point of projectile for moving tank.First,bidirectional stability constraints and stability constraint-following error are constructed using the Udwadia-Kalaba theory,and an adaptive robust constraint-following controller is designed considering uncertainties.Second,the exterior ballistic ordinary differential equation with uncertainties is integrated into the controller,and the pointing control of stability system is extended to the impact-point control of projectile.Third,based on the interval uncertainty analysis method combining Chebyshev polynomial expansion and affine arithmetic,a prediction method of projectile-target intersection is proposed.Finally,the co-simulation experiment is performed by establishing the multi-body system dynamic model of tank and mathematical model of control system.The results demonstrate that the prediction method of projectile-target intersection based on uncertainty analysis can effectively decrease the uncertainties of system,improve the prediction accuracy,and increase the hit probability.The adaptive robust constraint-following control can effectively restrain the uncertainties caused by road excitation and model error.
