文摘This paper delves into the problem of optimal placement conditions for a group of agents collaboratively localizing a target using range-only or bearing-only measurements.The challenge in this study stems from the uncertainty associated with the positions of the agents,which may experience drift or disturbances during the target localization process.Initially,we derive the Cramer-Rao lower bound(CRLB)of the target position as the primary analytical metric.Subsequently,we establish the necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimal placement of agents.Based on these conditions,we analyze the maximal allowable agent position error for an expected mean squared error(MSE),providing valuable guidance for the selection of agent positioning sensors.The analytical findings are further validated through simulation experiments.

文摘Granite residual soil slope is often destroyed,which poses great threats to Rong County in southeastern Guangxi,China.Heavy rainfall and fissures are the major triggering and internal factors.The fissure that controls the slope stability and the associated failure mechanisms remain unclear.The purpose of this study was to identify the controlling fissures through field investigation,elucidate the effect of its position,and analyze the failure process and hydrological response of residual soil slope through artificial flume model tests.The results comprised five aspects.(1)Surface weathering and unloading fissures could affect slope stability.(2)The failure processes with different fissure positions exhibited inconsistent characteristics.(3)The volume moisture content(VMC)had the most direct response at the fissure tip.The corresponding infiltration rate was the highest.The response time of pore water pressure(PWP)was longer than that of VMC.Fluctuations in PWP were associated with VMC and changes in the soil microstructure due to local deformation.(4)Slope failure was accompanied by serious soil erosion.This could be attributed to the infiltration direction and the interaction between soil and water.(5)Fissured soil slopes experienced five similar failure processes:sheet erosion and partial failure of the slope foot,occurrence of preferential flow and enlargement of the sliding area,creep deformation and tension fissure emergence,block sliding and gully erosion,and flow-slip.

文摘The performance of lithium-sulfur batteries(LSBs)is severely limited by a detrimental negative feedback loop:sluggish polysulfide conversion kinetics lead to Li_(2)S accumulation,which further hinders lithiumion transport and exacerbates capacity decay.To address this,we propose a positive feedback strategy that simultaneously enhances lithium polysulfides(LiPSs)conversion and lithium-ion diffusion through a rationally designed separator.By modifying the separator with phosphorus-doped two-dimensional hollow holey carbon nanosheets(Hollow HCNS),we establish an interconnected network where rapid LiPSs confinement and conversion within the hollow cavities promote efficient lithium-ion transport,while the improved ion flux further accelerates reaction kinetics.This mutual reinforcement mechanism ensures stable cycling by suppressing the shuttle effect and promoting uniform Li_(2)S deposition,as verified by in situ spectroscopic and electrochemical analysis.The resulting LSBs exhibit high-rate capability,ultralow capacity decay,and exceptional stability under high sulfur loading.This work presents a general approach to overcoming the persistent negative feedback problem in high-energy battery systems by synergistically optimizing catalytic conversion and ionic transport.
文摘Background:Pressure injury(PI)is a prevalent complication in pediatric cardiac surgery,with higher incidence than in general pediatric populations due to children’s thin skin,underdeveloped subcutaneous tissue,and prolonged intraoperative pressure.Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of the curvilinear supine position(CSP)in preventing PI among children undergoing congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery.Methods:Between October 2024 and February 2025,a single-center randomized controlled trial was conducted.Of the 80 children initially enrolled for congenital heart disease(CHD)surgery,77(aged 1 month to 14 years)completed the study and were included in the final analysis after 3 were excluded due to protocol violations.Participants were randomly assigned to the CSP group(n=38)or the conventional supine position group(n=39).Results:The incidence of PI was significantly lower in the CSP group(2.6%)compared to the control group(20.5%)(p=0.029).Postoperative LDH levels were also significantly reduced in the CSP group(422.67±86.52 U/L vs.592.92±215.71 U/L;p=0.031),while preoperative LDH and surgical variables(e.g.,cardiopulmonary bypass time)were comparable between groups.Although the CSP group had a shorter hospital stay(17.24 vs.22.51 days),the difference was not statistically significant(p=0.085).Caregiver satisfaction was significantly higher in the CSP group(100.0%vs.84.6%;p=0.025).Conclusion:CSP effectively reduces PI incidence,mitigates tissue injury,and enhances caregiver satisfaction in pediatric cardiac surgery,offering a safe and feasible strategy for perioperative PI prevention.
文摘Deep learning has been recognized as an effective method for indoor positioning.However,most existing real-valued neural networks(RVNNs)treat the two constituent components of complex-valued channel state information(CSI)as real-valued inputs,potentially discarding useful information embedded in the original CSI.In addition,existing positioning models generally face the contradiction between computational complexity and positioning accuracy.To address these issues,we combine graph neural network(GNN)with complex-valued neural network(CVNN)to construct a lightweight indoor positioning model named CGNet.CGNet employs complexvalued convolution operation to directly process the original CSI data,fully exploiting the correlation between real and imaginary parts of CSI while extracting local features.Subsequently,the feature values are treated as nodes,and conditional position encoding(CPE)module is applied to add positional information.To reduce the number of connections in the graph structure and lower themodel complexity,feature information is mapped to an efficient graph structure through a dynamic axial graph construction(DAGC)method,with global features extracted usingmaximum relative graph convolution(MRConv).Experimental results show that,on the CTW dataset,CGNet achieves a 10%improvement in positioning accuracy compared to existing methods,while the number of model parameters is only 0.8 M.CGNet achieves excellent positioning accuracy with very few parameters.

文摘AIM:To evaluate and compare alterations in the effective lens position(ELP)and refractive outcomes among three distinct intraocular lens(IOL)types.METHODS:Patients with cataracts were enrolled and allocated to 3 groups:Group A(implanted with the SN6CWS),Group B(implanted with the MI60),and Group C(implanted with the Aspira-aA).ELP measurements were obtained with swept-source optical coherence tomography(SS-OCT)at 1d,1wk,1mo,and 3mo postoperatively.Subjective refraction assessments were conducted at 1wk,1mo,and 3mo following surgery.RESULTS:The study included 189 eyes of 150 cataract patients(66 males).There were 77 eyes in Group A,55 eyes in Group B,and 57 eyes in Group C.The root mean square of the ELP(ELPRMS)within the initial 3mo was significantly lower for Group A than for Groups B and C.Refractive changes within Group A were not significant across the time points of 1wk,1mo,and 3mo.Conversely,both Group B and Group C demonstrated statistically significant shifts toward hyperopia from 1wk to 3mo postsurgery.CONCLUSION:Among the three IOLs examined,the SN6CWS IOL showes the greatest stability during the first 3mo postoperatively.Between 1wk and 3mo after surgery,notable hyperopic shifts are evident in eyes implanted with the MI60 and Aspira-aA IOLs,whereas refractive outcomes remain relatively constant in eyes implanted with SN6CWS IOLs.
文摘Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)can induce acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS)and abdominal compartment syndrome(ACS).Although prone position ventilation(PPV)can improve outcomes in patients with ARDS,there is significant controversy regarding its concurrent use with ACS owing to concerns of increased risk of intra-abdominal pressure(IAP).[1]We present a case of successful PPV application without adverse eff ects.

文摘Rotating Single-Baseline Interferometer(RSBI)systems have attracted considerable attention for Direct Position Determination(DPD)due to their simplicity and high localization accuracy.Nevertheless,the growing complexity of electromagnetic environments has led to scenarios with multiple time-frequency aliased sources,rendering conventional DPD methods for RSBI systems ineffective.Previous studies have predominantly concentrated on deploying antenna arrays and applying related signal-processing techniques for localization.Typically,these approaches necessitate that the number of physical antennas exceeds the number of sources.For RSBI systems already in practical operation,this would entail the installation of additional physical antennas,which implies equipment recycling and hardware upgrades.In numerous cases,such modifications are unfeasible.This paper proposes a novel Relative Offset-based Direct Position Determination(RO-DPD)method for RSBI systems that can handle multiple time-frequency aliased sources.The proposed method overcomes the challenge of simultaneous positioning without requiring hardware modifications by leveraging time accumulation and algorithmic enhancements.The implementation of the method involves three key steps.Firstly,the rotation of the interferometer is synthesized into a virtual Uniform Circular Array(UCA).Secondly,a novel estimation variable,termed relative offset,is introduced.The variable serves as an intermediate parameter to establish correlation equations between the positions of multiple time-frequency aliased sources and the intercepted signals.Thirdly,the relative offset model in the UCA is transformed into a virtual Uniform Linear Array(ULA)model,from which the cost function can be derived via the Spatial Smoothing(SS)MUSIC algorithm.Theoretical analysis and simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.Compared with traditional approaches,the RO-DPD method maintains the low complexity of RSBI systems while demonstrating robust performance in complex electromagnetic environments.

文摘The high-quality assembly of Large Aircraft Components(LACs)is essential in modern aviation manufacturing.Numerical control locators are employed for the posture adjustment of LAC,yet the system's multi-input multi-output,nonlinearity,and strong coupling presents significant challenges.The substantial internal force generated during the adjustment process can potentially damage the LAC and degrade the assembly quality.Hence,a workspace-based hybrid force position control scheme was developed to achieve high quality assembly with high-precision and lower internal force.Firstly,an offline workspace analysis with inherent geometric characteristics to form time-varying posture error constraint.Then,the posture error is integrated into the online position axis control to ensure tracking the ideal posture,while the force control axis compensates for posture deviation by minimizing internal force,thereby achieving high precision and low internal force.Finally,the effectiveness was demonstrated through experiments.The root mean square errors of orientation and position are 104 rad and 0.1 mm,respectively.A reduction in internal force can range from 10.96%to 57.4%compared to the traditional method.Key points'max position error is decreased from 0.32 mm to 0.18 mm,satisfying the 0.5 mm tolerance.Therefore,the proposed method will help promote the development of high-performance manufacturing.
