In terms of economic forming process, hydroforming is the manufacturing option which uses a fluid medium to form a component by using high internal pressure. This process gained steep interest in the automotive and aerospace industries because of its many advantages such as part consolidation, good quality of the formed part etc. The main advantage is that the uniform pressure can be transferred to whole projected part at the same time. Low pressure tube hydroforming considered an inexpensive option for forming these advanced high strength steel. This paper investigates the pressurization system used during the low pressure tube hydroforming cycle. It is observed that the usage of ramp pressure cycle during forming the part from low pressure tube hydroforming results in lesser die holding force. Also, the stress, strain and thickness distribution of the part during low pressure tube hydroforming are critically analysed.展开更多

MDRPI, a peculiar subtype of pressure injuries (PI), result from the pression exerted by devices (or their fixation systems) applied for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. MDRPI represent a serious problem for patients and healthcare systems. Understanding potential risk factors is an important step in implementing effective interventions. Methods: In this study, we will perform a systematic review;if possible, also a meta-analysis will be performed. The review will follow the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines for systematic reviews. A rigorous literature search will be conducted both in electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library) to identify studies published since 2000 and in gray literature for unpublished studies. Pairs of researchers will identify relevant evidence, extract data, and assess risk of bias independently in each eligible study. Factors associated with the occurrence of MDRPI are considered the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes are prevalence and incidence of MDRPI, length of hospital stay, infections, and death. The evidence will be synthesized using the GRADE methodology. Results: Results are not currently available as this is a protocol for a systematic review. Conclusions: This systematic review will identify evidence on risk factors for developing MDRPI. We are confident that the results of this review will help to improve clinical practice and guide future research.展开更多

文摘The high-pressure phase diagram of the Nb-Ti binary system at 0 K is explored by systematic crystal structure prediction.The results highlight a novel niobium-rich bcc phase,Nb_(7)Ti,which is the only dynamically stable ordered Nb-Ti compound under ambient pressure.Extensive first-principles calculations have provided insights into the electronic structure,bonding and superconducting properties of Nb_(7)Ti.The superconducting transition temperature(T_(c))for Nb_(7)Ti at ambient pressure is estimated within the framework of BCS theory to be about 17.5 K,which is significantly higher—nearly double—that of the widely utilized NbTi alloy.Furthermore,the results unveil that the high T_(c) is mainly attributed to the unique ordered lattice along with the strong electron-phonon coupling driven by interatomic interactions at mid-frequency and phonon softening induced by low-frequency Fermi surface nesting.Valuable insights are provided for the subsequent synthesis of application-oriented superconductors at low pressure.

文摘Objective:To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of mobile health(mHealth)interventions on self-management and blood pressure(BP)control in patients with hypertension and to provide recommendations for the clinic and future research.Methods:Databases including Embase,Cochrane Library,CINAHL,CNKI,SinoMed,Wanfang,and Weipu were searched to collect systematic reviews(SRs)and meta-analyses on mHealth interventions for hypertension management.Two researchers independently screened the articles and extracted data,and the Assessment of Multiple Systematic Reviews(AMSTAR 2)was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the included reviews.Results:A total of 11 SRs were included:1 review was rated as high quality,3 as low quality,and 7 as critically low quality.The mobile phone was the most common intervention type,followed by the internet.Seven reviews performed meta-analyses and showed that mHealth was associated with a significant reduction in systolic blood pressure(SBP),from 2.28 mmHg(95%CI-3.90 to-0.66;I^(2)=40%)to 14.77 mmHg(95%CI 11.76-17.77;I^(2)=89.7%),and diastolic blood pressure(DBP),from 1.50 mmHg(95%CI-2.20 to-0.08;I^(2)=62%)to 8.17 mmHg(95%CI 5.67-10.67;I^(2)=86%).Self-management behaviors included medication adherence(MA),diet,smoking,alcohol drinking,physical activity,and BP monitoring.There were inconsistent results on the effectiveness of mHealth interventions.Conclusions:mHealth interventions can improve BP control,MA,diet,and smoking in patients with hypertension,but the evidence for the efficacy of mHealth on physical activity and alcohol drinking improvement is limited.The methodological quality of existing SRs on the management of BP in patients with hypertension was relatively low,and more well-designed SRs or meta-analyses were needed to provide more evidence.mHealth interventions are useful for improving BP control of patients with hypertension.

文摘To date,many previous studies have been proposed for driver authentication;however,these solutions have many shortcomings and are still far from practical for real-world applications.In this paper,we tackle the shortcomings of the existing solutions and reach toward proposing a lightweight and practical authentication system,dubbed DriveMe,for identifying drivers on cars.Our novelty aspects are 1⃝Lightweight scheme that depends only on a single sensor data(i.e.,pressure readings)attached to the driver’s seat and belt.2⃝Practical evaluation in which one-class authentication models are trained from only the owner users and tested using data collected from both owners and attackers.3⃝Rapid Authentication to quickly identify drivers’identities using a few pressure samples collected within short durations(1,2,3,5,or 10 s).4⃝Realistic experiments where the sensory data is collected from real experiments rather than computer simulation tools.We conducted real experiments and collected about 13,200 samples and 22,800 samples of belt-only and seat-only datasets from all 12 users under different settings.To evaluate system effectiveness,we implemented extensive evaluation scenarios using four one-class detectors One-Class Support Vector Machine(OCSVM),Local Outlier Factor(LOF),Isolation Forest(IF),and Elliptic Envelope(EE),three dataset types(belt-only,seat-only,and fusion),and four different dataset sizes.Our average experimental results show that the system can authenticate the driver with an F1 score of 93.1%for seat-based data using OCSVM classifier,an F1 score of 98.53%for fusion-based data using LOF classifier,an F1 score of 91.65%for fusion-based data using IF classifier,and an F1 score of 95.79%for fusion-based data using EE classifier.

文摘The current research of master cylinder pressure estimation mainly relies on hydraulic characteristic or vehicle dynamics.But they are not independently applicable to any environment and have their own scope of application.In addition,about the master cylinder pressure control,there are few studies that can simultaneously balance pressure building accuracy,speed,and prevent pressure overshoot and jitter.In this paper,an adaptative fusion method based on electro-hydraulic characteristic and vehicle mode is proposed to estimate the master cylinder pressure.The fusion strategy is mainly based on the prediction performance of two algorithms under different vehicle speeds,pressures,and ABS states.Apart from this,this article also includes real-time prediction of the friction model based on RLS to improve the accuracy of the electro-hydraulic mode.In order to simultaneously balance pressure control accuracy,response speed,and prevent overshoot and jitter,this article proposes an adaptative LQR controller for MC pressure control which uses fuzzy-logic controller to adjust the weights of LQR controller based on target pressure and difference compared with actual pressure.Through mode-in-loop and hardware-in-loop tests in ramp,step and sinusoidal response,the whole estimation and control system is verified based on real hydraulic system and the performance is satisfactory under these scenes.This research proposes an adaptative pressure estimation and control architecture for integrated electro-hydraulic brake system which could eliminate pressure sensors in typical scenarios and ensure the comprehensive performance of pressure control.

文摘Quasi-one-dimensional systems provide a unique platform for the exploration of novel quantum states due to their enhanced electronic correlations,strong anisotropy,and dimensional confinement.Among various external tuning methods,physical pressure has been experimentally demonstrated to be an exceptionally potent and precise method for modulating both the structural and electronic properties of quasi-one-dimensional systems.In this review,we focus on the application of pressure to construct pressure-temperature phase diagrams of quasi-one-dimensional materials and explore the intricate relationships among quantum phenomena between superconductivity and other electronic states,such as charge density wave,topological quantum states,and antiferromagnetism.By analyzing representative examples across distinct material families,we demonstrate how pressure can be used not only to induce superconductivity but also to reveal underlying quantum critical points and drive topological phase transitions.We emphasize the significant potential of pressure as a crucial tuning parameter for revealing novel quantum phenomena and driving the progress in advanced low-dimensional quantum materials.

文摘The phase transformation of galena in H_(2)SO_(4)-Fe_(2)(SO_(4))_(3) system under oxygen pressure was investigated.Results indicated that the critical conditions for the phase transformation of galena into lead jarosite(Pb-J)were 130℃,30 g/L H_(2)SO_(4),15 g/L Fe^(3+),and an oxygen partial pressure of 0.4 MPa.Furthermore,increased Fe^(3+)concentration and oxygen partial pressure did not enhance jarosite formation.Conversely,lowering the temperature and increasing the H_(2)SO_(4) concentration facilitated PbSO_(4) formation and inhibited its further conversion to Pb-J.Additionally,the effects of potassium sulfate,sodium sulfate,and high concentrations of zinc sulfate on the phase transformation of galena were examined through leaching tests,XRD,SEM-EDS,and FT-IR analyses.All three sulfates inhibited the conversion of galena to Pb-J.Among these,potassium sulfate prevented Pb-J formation and converted it more thoroughly into potassium jarosite.However,high concentrations of zinc sulfate facilitated the crystallization of both PbSO_(4) and Pb-J,which altered the morphology of the product.Zinc ions coprecipitated with Pb-J,thereby integrating into the product.
文摘Overpressure prediction for exploratory drilling has become robust in most basins with increasing well control,high-quality seismic datasets,and proactive real-time overpressure monitoring while drilling.However,accurate overpressure prediction remains challenging in offshore Northwest Borneo despite several decades of drilling experience.This paper focuses on two exploration wells drilled by Brunei Shell Petroleum 40 years apart that faced similar challenges with overpressure prediction and well control.An integrated lookback study is attempted using seismic and well-log data to explore the causes of the unsatisfactory Pore Pressure Prediction(PPP)outcome in pre-drill and real-time operation settings for thesewells.Our study indicates that the misprediction of overpressures is due to real differences in shale pressure(basis of pre-drill work and monitoring)and sand pressure(source of drill kick and well control chal-lenges)due to large-scale vertical leak or expulsion of deep-seated fluids into pre-compacted normally pressured overlying sediments in several regions through a mix of shear and tensile failure mechanisms.Such migrated fluids inflate the sand pressure in the normally compacted shallower sequences with the shale pressure remaining low.A predictive framework for upward fluid expulsion was attempted but found impracticable due to complex spatial and temporal variations in the horizontal stress field responsible for such leakage.As such,it is proposed that these migratory overpressures are essentially'unpredictable'from conventional PPP workflows viewed in the broad bucket of compaction disequi-librium(undercompaction)and fluid expansion(unloading)mechanisms.Further study is recommended to understand if such migrated overpressures in the sand can produce a discernible and predictable geophysical or petrophysical signature in the abutting normally compacted shales.The study highlights the possibility of large lateral variability in the sand overpressure within the same stratigraphic unit in regions with complex tectonostratigraphic evolution like Northwest Borneo.

文摘Detecting sitting posture abnormalities in wheelchair users enables early identification of changes in their functional status.To date,this detection has relied on in-person observation by medical specialists.However,given the challenges faced by health specialists to carry out continuous monitoring,the development of an intelligent anomaly detection system is proposed.Unlike other authors,where they use supervised techniques,this work proposes using unsupervised techniques due to the advantages they offer.These advantages include the lack of prior labeling of data,and the detection of anomalies previously not contemplated,among others.In the present work,an individualized methodology consisting of two phases is developed:characterizing the normal sitting pattern and determining abnormal samples.An analysis has been carried out between different unsupervised techniques to study which ones are more suitable for postural diagnosis.It can be concluded,among other aspects,that the utilization of dimensionality reduction techniques leads to improved results.Moreover,the normality characterization phase is deemed necessary for enhancing the system’s learning capabilities.Additionally,employing an individualized approach to the model aids in capturing the particularities of the various pathologies present among subjects.

文摘Despite significant Brazilian social programs to expand energy access,approximately one million people in rural Amazonia still lack electricity.Moreover,the existing rural electricity grid in the region is inadequate for supporting efficient small-scale production systems due to both the poor quality and high cost of supplied energy.In parallel,traditional wooden bridges in the Amazon have been progressively replaced by more durable concrete structures in recent years.In this context,this study explores the application of very low-head hydropower installations in the Amazon,focusing on integrating axial-flow turbines beneath small concrete bridges.The methodology involves analyzing flow duration curves and key hydraulic parameters upstream and downstream to design a micro-hydropower system comprising two or more units,thereby maximizing annual energy generation.Additionally,the study assesses the applicability of the minimum pressure coefficient criterion to improve the efficiency of very low-head turbines.This design criterion is first validated against an existing experimental study featuring a propeller turbine with a simple curved plate blade.The proposed methodology is then applied to a case study involving a small dam-bridge with a head variation from 1.4 to 2.4 m and a flow rate ranging from 0.23 to 0.92 m^(3)/s.The optimal configuration achieves an energy output of 26.2 MWh/year with an efficiency of up to 86%.

文摘In this work,an oscillating-body wave energy converter(OBWEC)with a hydraulic power take-off(PTO)system named“Dolphin 1”is designed,in which the hydraulic PTO system is equivalent to a transfer station and plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability of the electrical energy output and the efficiency of the overall system.A corresponding mathematical model for the hydraulic PTO system has been established,the factors that influence its performance have been studied,and an algorithm for solving the optimal working pressure has been derived in this paper.Moreover,a PID control method to enable the hydraulic PTO system to automatically achieve optimal performance under different wave conditions has been designed.The results indicate that,compared with single-chamber hydraulic cylinders,double-chamber hydraulic cylinders have a wider application range and greater performance;the accumulator can stabilize the output power of the hydraulic PTO system and slightly increase it;excessively large or small hydraulic motor displacement hinders system performance;and each wave condition corresponds to a unique optimal working pressure for the hydraulic PTO system.In addition,the relationship between the optimal working pressure P_(m)and the pressure P_(h)of the wave force acting on the piston satisfies P_(m)^(2)=∫_(t_(1))^(t_(2))P_(h)^(2)dt/(t_(2)-t_(1)).Furthermore,adjusting the hydraulic motor displacement automatically via a PID controller ensures that the actual working pressure of the hydraulic PTO system consistently reaches or approaches its theoretically optimal value under various wave conditions,which is a very effective control method for enhancing the performance of the hydraulic PTO system.
