Methods: The study was conducted between January 2024 and January 2025, involving 60 healthcare workers who were randomly assigned to groups. The control group (n = 30) received conventional occupational protective nursing care, while the observation group underwent multidimensional protective nursing interventions. Results: Following intervention, the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the control group in knowledge of hydrofluoric acid occupational exposure, occupational exposure risk perception, and protective skill operation (p < 0.05). Emergency response capability scores and protective behavior implementation scores were also higher in the observation group (p < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the observation group exhibited higher occupational health satisfaction rates and lower occupational exposure incidence rates (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Multidimensional protective nursing interventions effectively enhance dental healthcare personnel’s awareness and protective capabilities regarding hydrofluoric acid occupational exposure, improve compliance with protective measures, and significantly reduce occupational exposure risks. This approach warrants promotion and application in occupational protective nursing interventions within dental departments.展开更多

Many answers are not associated with the actual problem or shift the subjects,and this usually occurs in relatively long answers. In this paper, we enhance answer selection in CQA using multidimensional feature combination and similarity order. We make full use of the information in answers to questions to determine the similarity between questions and answers, and use the text-based description of the answer to determine whether it is a reasonable one. Our work includes two subtasks:(a) classifying answers as good, bad, or potentially associated with a question, and(b) answering YES/NO based on a list of all answers to a question. The experimental results show that our approach is significantly more efficient than the baseline model, and its overall ranking is relatively high in comparison with that of other models.展开更多

In our ap- proach, first, the concept of a Web object （WOB） is discussed for the description of special Web information. Second, in contrast to traditional methods, the Boolean model and multi- rule are introduced to denote a one-dimensional text feature for a better representation of Web objects. Furthermore, a two-dimensional semantic texture feature is developed to dis- cover the layout of a WOB, which can emphasize the struc- tural attributes and the specific semantics term attributes of WOBs. Third, an optimal WOB information extraction （IE） based on HT-CRF is performed, addressing the problem of a model having an excessive dependence on the page structure and optimizing the efficiency of the model＇s training. Finally, we compare the proposed model with existing decoupled ap- proaches for WOB IE. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of WOB IE is significantly improved and that time complexity is reduced.展开更多

文摘Objective: To investigate the efficacy of multidimensional protective nursing interventions in reducing occupational exposure risks to hydrofluoric acid in dental departments. Methods: The study was conducted between January 2024 and January 2025, involving 60 healthcare workers who were randomly assigned to groups. The control group (n = 30) received conventional occupational protective nursing care, while the observation group underwent multidimensional protective nursing interventions. Results: Following intervention, the observation group demonstrated significantly higher scores than the control group in knowledge of hydrofluoric acid occupational exposure, occupational exposure risk perception, and protective skill operation (p < 0.05). Emergency response capability scores and protective behavior implementation scores were also higher in the observation group (p < 0.05). Compared to the control group, the observation group exhibited higher occupational health satisfaction rates and lower occupational exposure incidence rates (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Multidimensional protective nursing interventions effectively enhance dental healthcare personnel’s awareness and protective capabilities regarding hydrofluoric acid occupational exposure, improve compliance with protective measures, and significantly reduce occupational exposure risks.

文摘Succinonitrile(SN)-based polymer plastic crystal electrolytes(PPCEs)are regarded as promising candidates for lithium metal batteries but suffer from serious side reactions with Li metal.Herein,we propose a multi-dimensional optimization strategy to alleviate the side reactions between SN and Li metal,and develop a highly stable poly-vinylethylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VEC).Moreover,we identify the intrinsic factors of multi-dimensional polymer structures on the electrolyte stability by three typical classes of polyesters.The PPCE-VEC constructed by in situ polymerization exhibits much better stability than poly-vinylene carbonate-based PPCE(PPCE-VCA)and poly-trifluoroethyl acrylate-based PPCE(PPCE-TFA),which is verified by its fewer SN-decomposition species in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and outstanding full cell performance.The PPCE-VEC-enabled LiNi_(0.6)Co_(0.2)Mn_(0.2)O_(2)full cell achieve 73.7%capacity retention after 1400 cycles,which outperforms PPCE-VCA-and PPCE-TFA-enabled full cells(61.9%and 46.9%).Spectral analysis and theoretical calculation reveal that the high solvation ability of the carbonyl site,flexible polymer chain,and homogeneous electrolyte phase of PPCE-VEC are favorable to maximizing competition coordination with Li^(+)to weaken the Li^(+)–SN binding and shape an anion-rich solvation structure.This optimized polymer-involved Li^(+)solvation enhances SN stability and facilitates the formation of B/F enriched solid-electrolyte interphase(SEI),thus significantly improving PPCE stability.

文摘Objective To develop a depression recognition model by integrating the spirit-expression diagnostic framework of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)with machine learning algorithms.The proposed model seeks to establish a TCM-informed tool for early depression screening,thereby bridging traditional diagnostic principles with modern computational approaches.Methods The study included patients with depression who visited the Shanghai Pudong New Area Mental Health Center from October 1,2022 to October 1,2023,as well as students and teachers from Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine during the same period as the healthy control group.Videos of 3–10 s were captured using a Xiaomi Pad 5,and the TCM spirit and expressions were determined by TCM experts(at least 3 out of 5 experts agreed to determine the category of TCM spirit and expressions).Basic information,facial images,and interview information were collected through a portable TCM intelligent analysis and diagnosis device,and facial diagnosis features were extracted using the Open CV computer vision library technology.Statistical analysis methods such as parametric and non-parametric tests were used to analyze the baseline data,TCM spirit and expression features,and facial diagnosis feature parameters of the two groups,to compare the differences in TCM spirit and expression and facial features.Five machine learning algorithms,including extreme gradient boosting(XGBoost),decision tree(DT),Bernoulli naive Bayes(BernoulliNB),support vector machine(SVM),and k-nearest neighbor(KNN)classification,were used to construct a depression recognition model based on the fusion of TCM spirit and expression features.The performance of the model was evaluated using metrics such as accuracy,precision,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC).The model results were explained using the Shapley Additive exPlanations(SHAP).Results A total of 93 depression patients and 87 healthy individuals were ultimately included in this study.There was no statistically significant difference in the baseline characteristics between the two groups(P>0.05).The differences in the characteristics of the spirit and expressions in TCM and facial features between the two groups were shown as follows.(i)Quantispirit facial analysis revealed that depression patients exhibited significantly reduced facial spirit and luminance compared with healthy controls(P<0.05),with characteristic features such as sad expressions,facial erythema,and changes in the lip color ranging from erythematous to cyanotic.(ii)Depressed patients exhibited significantly lower values in facial complexion L,lip L,and a values,and gloss index,but higher values in facial complexion a and b,lip b,low gloss index,and matte index(all P<0.05).(iii)The results of multiple models show that the XGBoost-based depression recognition model,integrating the TCM“spirit-expression”diagnostic framework,achieved an accuracy of 98.61%and significantly outperformed four benchmark algorithms—DT,BernoulliNB,SVM,and KNN(P<0.01).(iv)The SHAP visualization results show that in the recognition model constructed by the XGBoost algorithm,the complexion b value,categories of facial spirit,high gloss index,low gloss index,categories of facial expression and texture features have significant contribution to the model.Conclusion This study demonstrates that integrating TCM spirit-expression diagnostic features with machine learning enables the construction of a high-precision depression detection model,offering a novel paradigm for objective depression diagnosis.
文摘BACKGROUND SMARCB1/INI1-deficient pancreatic undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma is a highly aggressive tumor,and spontaneous splenic rupture(SSR)as its presenting manifestation is rarely reported among pancreatic malignancies.CASE SUMMARY We herein report a rare case of a 59-year-old female who presented with acute left upper quadrant abdominal pain without any history of trauma.Abdominal imaging demonstrated a heterogeneous splenic lesion with hemoperitoneum,raising clinical suspicion of SSR.Emergency laparotomy revealed a pancreatic tumor invading the spleen and left kidney,with associated splenic rupture and dense adhesions,necessitating en bloc resection of the distal pancreas,spleen,and left kidney.Histopathology revealed a biphasic malignancy composed of moderately differentiated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and an undifferentiated carcinoma with rhabdoid morphology and loss of SMARCB1 expression.Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed complete loss of SMARCB1/INI1 in the undifferentiated component,along with a high Ki-67 index(approximately 80%)and CD10 positivity.The ductal adenocarcinoma component retained SMARCB1/INI1 expression and was positive for CK7 and CK-pan.Transitional zones between the two tumor components suggested progressive dedifferentiation and underlying genomic instability.The patient received adjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel and maintained a satisfactory quality of life at the 6-month follow-up.CONCLUSION This study reports a rare case of SMARCB1/INI1-deficient undifferentiated rhabdoid carcinoma of the pancreas combined with ductal adenocarcinoma,presenting as SSR-an exceptionally uncommon initial manifestation of pancreatic malignancy.

文摘This study proposes a multimodal deep learning framework for joint prediction of the state of health(SOH)and remaining useful life(RUL)of lithium-ion batteries.Twelve representative impedance features-covering charge-transfer resistance,solid electrolyte interface(SEI)layer impedance,and ion diffusion-are extracted from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and combined with short voltage/current segments to form a compact,interpretable feature set.A residual multi-layer perceptron(ResMLP)is employed for SOH regression,and a temporal convolutional network with attention(TCNAttention)is used for RUL estimation.Lifetime experiments on two battery types with different chemistries and form factors,evaluated through three rounds of paired cross-validation,validate the approach.Results show that the proposed features significantly reduce dimensionality and computational cost while substantially lowering SOH error,achieving an average normalized root mean square error of 2.3%.The RUL prediction reaches an average error of 14.8%.Overall,the framework balances interpretability,robustness,and feasibility,providing a practical solution for battery management systems(BMS)monitoring and life prediction.

文摘Improved delay detached eddy simulation is performed to explore the flow features and aero-optical effects of turrets with different bottom cylinder height at a freestream Mach number Ma=0.7.Analysis of both the time-averaged and instantaneous flow features demonstrate that the shock motion causes the oscillation of separated shear layer.In flow analysis,two unsteady shock-wake-correlated modes are discerned:the asymmetric shifting mode and the symmetric breathing mode.With the increase of cylinder height,the relative energy of shock gradually increases,which goes from 26%to 59%.The proper orthogonal decomposition analysis yields the single frequency peak for the two dominant modes.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are generally at StD<0.23,while the frequency peaks of breathing mode are generally at StD>0.26.The dynamic mode decomposition analysis gives range of frequency peak.The frequency peaks of shifting mode are in the range of StD=0.11-0.23,and the frequency peaks of breathing mode are in range of StD=0.26-0.41.Optical distortion analysis indicates that the distortion calculated in five cases is linked to the breathing mode.When the beam passes through the turbulent wake,it exhibits the high-frequency and high-amplitude characteristics.

文摘Hard disk drives(HDDs)serve as the primary storage devices in modern data centers.Once a failure occurs,it often leads to severe data loss,significantly degrading the reliability of storage systems.Numerous studies have proposed machine learning-based HDD failure prediction models.However,the Self-Monitoring,Analysis,and Reporting Technology(SMART)attributes differ across HDD manufacturers.We define hard drives of the same brand and model as homogeneous HDD groups,and those from different brands or models as heterogeneous HDD groups.In practical engineering scenarios,a data center is often composed of a heterogeneous population of HDDs,spanning multiple vendors and models.Existing research predominantly focuses on homogeneous datasets,ignoring the model’s generalization capability across heterogeneous HDDs.As a result,HDD models with limited samples often suffer from poor training effectiveness and prediction performance.To address this issue,we investigate generalizable SMART predictors across heterogeneous HDD groups.By extracting time-series features within a fixed sliding time window,we propose a Heterogeneous Disk Failure Prediction Method based on Time Series Features(HDFPM)framework.This method is adaptable to HDD models with limited sample sizes,thereby enhancing its applicability and robustness across diverse drive populations.Experimental results show that the proposed model achieves an F1-score of 0.9518 when applied to two different Seagate HDD models,while maintaining the False Positive Rate(FPR)below 1%.After incorporating the Complexity-Ratio Dynamic Time Warping(CDTW)based feature enhancement method,the best prediction model achieves a True Positive Rate(TPR)of up to 0.93 between the two models.For next-day failure prediction across various Seagate models,the model achieves an F1-score of up to 0.8792.Moreover,the experimental results also show that within the same brand,the higher the proportion of shared SMART attributes across different models,the better the prediction performance.In addition,HDFPMdemonstrates the best stability andmost significant performance in heterogeneous environments.
文摘In the field of intelligent air combat,real-time and accurate recognition of within-visual-range(WVR)maneuver actions serves as the foundational cornerstone for constructing autonomous decision-making systems.However,existing methods face two major challenges:traditional feature engineering suffers from insufficient effective dimensionality in the feature space due to kinematic coupling,making it difficult to distinguish essential differences between maneuvers,while end-to-end deep learning models lack controllability in implicit feature learning and fail to model high-order long-range temporal dependencies.This paper proposes a trajectory feature pre-extraction method based on a Long-range Masked Autoencoder(LMAE),incorporating three key innovations:(1)Random Fragment High-ratio Masking(RFH-Mask),which enforces the model to learn long-range temporal correlations by masking 80%of trajectory data while retaining continuous fragments;(2)Kalman Filter-Guided Objective Function(KFG-OF),integrating trajectory continuity constraints to align the feature space with kinematic principles;and(3)Two-stage Decoupled Architecture,enabling efficient and controllable feature learning through unsupervised pre-training and frozen-feature transfer.Experimental results demonstrate that LMAE significantly improves the average recognition accuracy for 20-class maneuvers compared to traditional end-to-end models,while significantly accelerating convergence speed.The contributions of this work lie in:introducing high-masking-rate autoencoders into low-informationdensity trajectory analysis,proposing a feature engineering framework with enhanced controllability and efficiency,and providing a novel technical pathway for intelligent air combat decision-making systems.

文摘Phishing email detection represents a critical research challenge in cybersecurity.To address this,this paper proposes a novel Double-S(statistical-semantic)feature model based on three core entities involved in email communication:the sender,recipient,and email content.We employ strategic game theory to analyze the offensive strategies of phishing attackers and defensive strategies of protectors,extracting statistical features from these entities.We also leverage the Qwen large language model to excavate implicit semantic features(e.g.,emotional manipulation and social engineering tactics)from email content.By integrating statistical and semantic features,our model achieves a robust representation of phishing emails.We introduce a hybrid detection model that integrates a convolutional neural network(CNN)module with the XGBoost(Extreme Gradient Boosting)classifier,effectively capturing local correlations in high-dimensional features.Experimental results on real-world phishing email datasets demonstrate the superiority of our approach,achieving an F1-score of 0.9587,precision of 0.9591,and recall of 0.9583,representing improvements of 1.3%–10.6%compared to state-of-the-art methods.

文摘By integrating self-localization,environment mapping,and dynamic object tracking into a unified framework,visual simultaneous localization and mapping with multiple object tracking(SLAMMOT)enhances decision-making and interaction capabilities in applications such as autonomous driving,robotic navigation,and augmented reality.While numerous outstanding visual SLAMMOT methods have been proposed,the majority rely only on point features,overlooking the abundant and stable planar features in artificial objects that can provide valuable constraints.To address this limitation,we propose OP(object planar)-SLAM,an RGB-D SLAMMOT system that leverages planar features to improve object pose estimation and reconstruction accuracy.Specifically,we introduce an accurate object planar feature extraction and association method using normal images,alongside a novel object bundle adjustment framework that incorporates planar constraints for enhanced optimization.The proposed system is evaluated on both synthetic and public real-world datasets,including Oxford multimotion dataset(OMD)and KITTI tracking dataset.Especially on the OMD,where planar features are prominent,our method improves object pose estimation accuracy by approximately 60%.Extensive experiments demonstrate its effectiveness in enhancing object pose estimation and reconstruction,achieving notable performance compared with existing methods.Furthermore,OP-SLAM runs in real time,making it suitable for practical robots and augmented reality applications.

文摘Community Question Answering(CQA) in web forums, as a classic forum for user communication,provides a large number of high-quality useful answers in comparison with traditional question answering.Development of methods to get good, honest answers according to user questions is a challenging task in natural language processing. Many answers are not associated with the actual problem or shift the subjects,and this usually occurs in relatively long answers. In this paper, we enhance answer selection in CQA using multidimensional feature combination and similarity order. We make full use of the information in answers to questions to determine the similarity between questions and answers, and use the text-based description of the answer to determine whether it is a reasonable one. Our work includes two subtasks:(a) classifying answers as good, bad, or potentially associated with a question, and(b) answering YES/NO based on a list of all answers to a question. The experimental results show that our approach is significantly more efficient than the baseline model, and its overall ranking is relatively high in comparison with that of other models.
文摘To identify recruitment information in different domains, we propose a novel model of hierarchical tree- structured conditional random fields （HT-CRFs）. In our ap- proach, first, the concept of a Web object （WOB） is discussed for the description of special Web information. Second, in contrast to traditional methods, the Boolean model and multi- rule are introduced to denote a one-dimensional text feature for a better representation of Web objects. Furthermore, a two-dimensional semantic texture feature is developed to dis- cover the layout of a WOB, which can emphasize the struc- tural attributes and the specific semantics term attributes of WOBs. Third, an optimal WOB information extraction （IE） based on HT-CRF is performed, addressing the problem of a model having an excessive dependence on the page structure and optimizing the efficiency of the model＇s training. Finally, we compare the proposed model with existing decoupled ap- proaches for WOB IE. The experimental results show that the accuracy rate of WOB IE is significantly improved and that time complexity is reduced.

文摘A composite anti-disturbance predictive control strategy employing a Multi-dimensional Taylor Network(MTN)is presented for unmanned systems subject to time-delay and multi-source disturbances.First,the multi-source disturbances are addressed according to their specific characteristics as follows:(A)an MTN data-driven model,which is used for uncertainty description,is designed accompanied with the mechanism model to represent the unmanned systems;(B)an adaptive MTN filter is used to remove the influence of the internal disturbance;(C)an MTN disturbance observer is constructed to estimate and compensate for the influence of the external disturbance;(D)the Extended Kalman Filter(EKF)algorithm is utilized as the learning mechanism for MTNs.Second,to address the time-delay effect,a recursiveτstep-ahead MTN predictive model is designed utilizing recursive technology,aiming to mitigate the impact of time-delay,and the EKF algorithm is employed as its learning mechanism.Then,the MTN predictive control law is designed based on the quadratic performance index.By implementing the proposed composite controller to unmanned systems,simultaneous feedforward compensation and feedback suppression to the multi-source disturbances are conducted.Finally,the convergence of the MTN and the stability of the closed-loop system are established utilizing the Lyapunov theorem.Two exemplary applications of unmanned systems involving unmanned vehicle and rigid spacecraft are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

文摘The wheat above-ground biomass(AGB)is an important index that shows the life activity of vegetation,which is of great significance for wheat growth monitoring and yield prediction.Traditional biomass estimation methods specifically include sample surveys and harvesting statistics.Although these methods have high estimation accuracy,they are time-consuming,destructive,and difficult to implement to monitor the biomass at a large scale.The main objective of this study is to optimize the traditional remote sensing methods to estimate the wheat AGBbased on improved convolutional features(CFs).Low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV)were used as the main data acquisition equipment.This study acquired image data acquired by RGB camera(RGB)and multi-spectral(MS)image data of the wheat population canopy for two wheat varieties and five key growth stages.Then,field measurements were conducted to obtain the actual wheat biomass data for validation.Based on the remote sensing indices(RSIs),structural features(SFs),and CFs,this study proposed a new feature named AUR-50(multi-source combination based on convolutional feature optimization)to estimate the wheat AGB.The results show that AUR-50 could estimate the wheat AGB more accurately than RSIs and SFs,and the average R^(2) exceeded 0.77.In the overwintering period,AUR-50_(MS)(multi-source combination with convolutional feature optimization using multispectral imagery)had the highest estimation accuracy(R^(2) of 0.88).In addition,AUR-50 reduced the effect of the vegetation index saturation on the biomass estimation accuracy by adding CFs,where the highest R^(2) was 0.69 at the flowering stage.The results of this study provide an effective method to evaluate the AGB in wheat with high throughput and a research reference for the phenotypic parameters of other crops.
