In refractory cases to conservative treatment, microscopic discectomy or full endoscopic discectomy are used as surgical options to relieve pain and restore patient functionality. However, the ideal time for a return to sports activities remains a matter of debate due to variations in recovery times and risks of complications associated with each technique. Methods: A review was conducted, including articles published in the last 33 years (1991-2024), as it was the earliest date matching our search criteria. Clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines were included. Results: The most common complications when returning to sport prematurely include recurrence of the hernia, persistent pain (VAS leg 7 or higher after surgery) and reduced physical performance. The return to full activity rate of patients who underwent microdiscectomy reaches up to 90%, while the endoscopic technique shows a success rate that reaches 99%. Return to play meantime was 5.19 months (range 1.00 - 8.7 months) and mean time of 4.6 months (range 2 - 8 months) with Microdiscectomy and full endoscopic discectomy respectively. Conclusions: There is no unanimous consensus on the exact timing of return to sport due to variability in recovery times and clinical outcomes. In both techniques, evidence highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates surgeons, physical therapists and trainers to optimize recovery and ensure a safe return.展开更多

A novel definition of bottleneck station is presented and the probability of a station becoming a bottleneck is also given. By calculating the effective output, the effective operation time （EOT） and the ratio of EOT of each station, the system＇s current bottleneck of effective output time is determined. By calculating the probability coefficient of variation and index of bottleneck shifting, the quantitative performance of bottleneck shifting is obtained. Discrete event simulation and the experiment design method are adopted to simulate the system, in which the proportion of quality grading, repair rates and process routes are considered. The case study shows that the uncertainty of returns＇ quality greatly increases the probability of bottleneck shifting, and with the increase of the discrete degree of the returns＇ repair rate, the bottleneck shifting phenomenon is more obvious. Furthermore, bottleneck shifting is closely related to the process route of the dominating returns＇ quality grade.展开更多

文摘Long-term straw return with appropriate nitrogen(N)fertilization increases seedcotton yield and fiber quality,and the root system plays an important role in cotton production.However,under straw return and N fertilization,the relationship between the cotton boll-loading capacity of the root system and seedcotton yield remains unclear.In this study,a ten years of long-term field experiment was conducted in a wheat-cotton rotation system.The effects of straw treatments(straw return and straw removal)and N rates(N0,N75,N150 and N300 representing 0,75,150 and 300 kg N ha^(-1),respectively)on cotton root activity,boll-loading capacity of the root system and their relationship to seedcotton yield from 2019 to 2022 were quantified.The results showed that straw return with an appropriate N fertilization of N150 increased root biomass,the rate and components of root-bleeding sap,as well as boll-loading capacity of the root system and seedcotton yield,but decreased the ratio of root to shoot biomass.Furthermore,the root-bleeding sap rate reached the maximum at 30 d post anthesis(DPA)during the peak boll setting stage.However,the contents of nitrate-N,free amino acids and soluble sugar in root-bleeding sap decreased from 10 DPA.Notably,in 2021 and at 30 DPA,the highest contents of nitrate-N(4.8μg mL^(-1))and free amino acids(8.3μg mL^(-1)),as well as soluble sugar(3.4μg mL^(-1))were observed at N150 under straw return.The increase in seedcotton yield is positively correlated to the soluble sugar content.Straw return significantly increased the boll-loading capacity of the root system,which first increased but then decreased with the increase in N fertilization.Under straw return with N150,the maximum seecotton yield(3455-4544 kg ha^(-1))was recorded,and the largest boll loading(49-54 boll 100 g^(-1))and boll capacity(242-292 g 100 g^(-1))of root system at the boll opening stage were observed.Therefore,straw return with appropriate N fertilization improved root activity and the boll-loading capacity of the root system,thereby increasing seedcotton yield.This study provides new insights into improving seedcotton yield from the perspective of coordinating cotton growth.

文摘Straw return has demonstrated significant potential for enhancing carbon(C)sequestration and nitrogen(N)uptake while concurrently promoting plant productivity.However,the specific transport and distribution of C produced by photosynthesis and exogenous N within the rice plant-soil system under straw return remains unclear.A long-term straw return pot trial experiment was conducted in a double cropping rice system,incorporating treatments of inorganic fertilizer application with straw removal(F),straw burning and ash return with reducing inorganic fertilizers(SBR),and straw return with reducing inorganic fertilizers(SR)to investigate C sequestration and exogenous N uptake using ^(13)C pulse and ^(15)N isotope tracer techniques.The SR treatment had significantly higher soil ^(13)C abundance,by 24.4 and 25.4%,respectively,^(13)C concentrations in aboveground plant parts,by 18.4 and 35.8%respectively,and ^(15)N concentrations in rice panicles,by 12.8 and 34.3%than the SBR and F treatments.This enhancement contributed to a higher total organic C concentration and increased rice grain yield in the SR treatment.Furthermore,the SR treatment had significantly higher photosynthetic C,by 9.8%,which was directly transferred to soil C.The SR treatment had a higher distribution of photosynthetic C in the leaves and stems,but a lower distribution in the panicle compared to the SBR treatment.This finding is advantageous for sequestering photosynthetic C into the soil through straw return;conversely,opposite trends were observed in ^(15)N distribution.In addition,rice plants in the SR treatment had increased N uptake from urea and soil N sources,enhancing N recovery by 9.2 and 12.5%,respectively,and reducing soil N residues.Correlation analysis showed that the SR treatment increased the concentrations of ^(13)C in leaves and roots while decreasing the ^(15)N abundance in all rice organs,thereby contributing to an increase in rice yield.The partial least square path model suggested that the increase in rice yield under the SR treatment was primarily linked to ^(13)C accumulation within the rice plant-soil system.The results suggest that straw return increases the sequestration of photosynthetic C and exogenous N in the rice plant-soil system and increases N utilization efficiency,which subsequently improves both rice and soil productivity.

文摘Straw return is a promising strategy for managing soil organic carbon(SOC)and improving yield stability.However,the optimal straw return strategy for sustainable crop production in the wheat(Triticum aestivum L.)-cotton(Gossypium hirsutum L.)cropping system remains uncertain.The objective of this study was to quantify the long-term(10 years)impact of carbon(C)input on SOC sequestration,soil aggregation and crop yields in a wheat-cotton cropping system in the Yangtze River Valley,China.Five treatments were arranged with a single-factor randomized design as follows:no straw return(Control),return of wheat straw only(Wt),return of cotton straw only(Ct),return of 50%wheat and 50%cotton straw(Wh-Ch)and return of 100%wheat and 100%cotton straw(Wt-Ct).In comparison to the Control,the SOC content increased by 8.4 to 20.2%under straw return.A significant linear positive correlation between SOC sequestration and C input(1.42-7.19 Mg ha^(−1)yr^(−1))(P<0.05)was detected.The percentages of aggregates of sizes>2 and 1-2 mm at the 0-20 cm soil depth were also significantly elevated under straw return,with the greatest increase of the aggregate stability in the Wt-Ct treatment(28.1%).The average wheat yields increased by 12.4-36.0%and cotton yields increased by 29.4-73.7%,and significantly linear positive correlations were also detected between C input and the yields of wheat and cotton.The average sustainable yield index(SYI)reached a maximum value of 0.69 when the C input was 7.08 Mg ha^(−1)yr^(−1),which was close to the maximum value(SYI of 0.69,C input of 7.19 Mg ha^(−1)yr^(-1))in the Wt-Ct treatment.Overall,the return of both wheat and cotton straw was the best strategy for improving SOC sequestration,soil aggregation,yields and their sustainability in the wheat-cotton rotation system.
文摘BACKGROUND Lateral ankle sprains are the most common traumatic musculoskeletal injuries of the lower extremity,with an incidence rate of 15%-20%.The high incidence and prevalence highlights the economic impact of this injury.Ankle sprains lead to a high socioeconomic burden due to the combination of the high injury incidence and high medical expenses.Up to 40%of patients who suffer from an ankle sprain develop chronic ankle instability.Chronic instability can lead to prolonged periods of pain,immobility and injury recurrence.Identification of factors that influence return to work(RTW)and return to sports(RTS)after a lateral ankle sprain(LAS)may help seriously reduce healthcare costs.AIM To explore which factors may potentially affect RTW and RTS after sustaining an LAS.METHODS EMBASE and PubMed were systematically searched for relevant studies published until June 2023.Inclusion criteria were as follows:(1)Injury including LAS or chronic ankle instability;(2)Described any form of treatment;(3)Assessment of RTW or RTS;(4)Studies published in English;and(5)Study designs including randomized controlled clinical trials,clinical trials or cohort studies.Exclusion criteria were:(1)Studies involving children(age<16 year);or(2)Patients with concomitant ankle injury besides lateral ankle ligament damage.A quality assessment was performed for each of the included studies using established risk of bias tools.Additionally quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADEpro tool in cases where outcomes were included in the quantitative analysis.A best evidence synthesis was performed in cases of qualitative outcome analysis.For all studied outcomes suitable for quantitative analysis a forest plot was created to calculate the effect on RTW and RTS.RESULTS A total of 8904 patients were included in 21 studies,10 randomized controlled trials,7 retrospective cohort studies and 4 prospective cohort studies.Fifteen studies were eligible for meta-analysis.The overall RTS rate ranged were 80%and 83%in the all treatments pool and surgical treatments pool,respectively.The pooled mean days to RTS ranged from 23-93 d.The overall RTW rate was 89%.The pooled mean time to RTW ranged from 5.8-8.1 d.For patients with chronic ankle instability,higher preoperative motivation was the sole factor significantly and independently(P=0.001)associated with the rate of and time to RTS following ligament repair or reconstruction.Higher body mass index was identified as a significant factor(P=0.04)linked to not resuming sports or returning at a lower level(median 24,range 20-37),compared to those who resumed at the same or higher level(median 23,range 17-38).Patients with a history of psychological illness or brain injury,experienced a delay in their rehabilitation process for sprains with fractures and unspecified sprains.The extent of the delayed rehabilitation was directly proportional to the increased likelihood of experiencing a recurrence of the ankle sprain and the number of ankle-related medical visits.We also observed that 10%of athletes who did return to sport after lateral ankle sprain without fractures described non-ankle-related reasons for not returning.CONCLUSION All treatments yielded comparable results,with each treatment potentially offering unique advantages or benefits.Preoperative motivation may influence rehabilitation after LAS.Grading which factor had a greater impact was not possible due to the lack of comparability among the included patients.

文摘This work demonstrates experimentally the close relation between return currents from relativistic laser-driven target polarization and the quality of the relativistic laser–plasma interaction for laser-driven secondary sources,taking as an example ion acceleration by target normal sheath acceleration.The Pearson linear correlation of maximum return current amplitude and proton spectrum cutoff energy is found to be in the range from~0.70 to 0.94.kA-scale return currents rise in all interaction schemes where targets of any kind are charged by escaping laser-accelerated relativistic electrons.Their precise measurement is demonstrated using an inductive scheme that allows operation at high repetition rates.Thus,return currents can be used as a metrological online tool for the optimization of many laser-driven secondary sources and for diagnosing their stability.In particular,in two parametric studies of laser-driven ion acceleration,we carry out a noninvasive online measurement of return currents in a tape target system irradiated by the 1 PW VEGA-3 laser at Centro de Láseres Pulsados:first the size of the irradiated area is varied at best compression of the laser pulse;second,the pulse duration is varied by means of induced group delay dispersion at best focus.This work paves the way to the development of feedback systems that operate at the high repetition rates of PW-class lasers.

文摘BACKGROUND Return to work(RTW)serves as an indication for young and middle-aged colorectal cancer(CRC)survivors to resume their normal social lives.However,these survivors encounter significant challenges during their RTW process.Hence,scientific research is necessary to explore the barriers and facilitating factors of returning to work for young and middle-aged CRC survivors.AIM To examine the current RTW status among young and middle-aged CRC survivors and to analyze the impact of RTW self-efficacy(RTW-SE),fear of progression(FoP),eHealth literacy(eHL),family resilience(FR),and financial toxicity(FT)on their RTW outcomes.METHODS A cross-sectional investigation was adopted in this study.From September 2022 to February 2023,a total of 209 participants were recruited through a convenience sampling method from the gastrointestinal surgery department of a class A tertiary hospital in Chongqing.The investigation utilized a general information questionnaire alongside scales assessing RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT.To analyze the factors that influence RTW outcomes among young and middle-aged CRC survivors,Cox regression modeling and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used.RESULTS A total of 43.54%of the participants successfully returned to work,with an average RTW time of 100 days.Cox regression univariate analysis revealed that RTW-SE,FoP,eHL,FR,and FT were significantly different between the non-RTW and RTW groups(P<0.05).Furthermore,Cox regression multivariate analysis identified per capita family monthly income,job type,RTW-SE,and FR as independent influencing factors for RTW(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The RTW rate requires further improvement.Elevated levels of RTW-SE and FR were found to significantly increase RTW among young and middle-aged CRC survivors.Health professionals should focus on modifiable factors,such as RTW-SE and FR,to design targeted RTW support programs,thereby facilitating their timely reintegration into mainstream society.

文摘The practice of conservation tillage or straw return to the farmland influences the grain yield and quality of rice(Oryza sativa).The key volatile compound responsible for the fragrance of fragrant rice is 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline(2-AP),which is significantly affected by field management measures.The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of tillage management and straw return on the grain yield and biosynthesis of 2-AP in fragrant rice.This study was conducted over two years in 2016 and 2017 and used two fragrant rice cultivars(Meixiangzhan 2 and Xiangyaxiangzhan)as materials.The experimental design consisted of different tillage management and straw return treatments,which included three tillage management regimes:rotary tillage(T0),minimum tillage(T1),and no tillage(T2);and two straw return treatments:without straw return(S0)and straw return(S1).The straw used for the experiment was sourced from the residue of the corresponding fragrant rice cultivar harvested in the early season.Tillage management and straw return substantially affected the grain yields,grain quality,and 2-AP contents of both fragrant rice cultivars.Compared with the T0S0 treatment,tillage management and straw return resulted in 2-AP content improvements in 2016(12.41–116.85%)and 2017(34.85–103.89%)on average.Higher 2-AP contents were also detected in both fragrant rice cultivars in the T2S1 and T1S1 treatments.A structural equation model(SEM)demonstrated that the activities of enzymes related to fragrance metabolism in the leaves and grain jointly regulated the biosynthesis of precursors of fragrance metabolism in the grain,which further promoted the accumulation of 2-AP.In addition,a principal component analysis indicated that the T1S1 treatment was positively correlated with both 2-AP and grain yield.The SEM demonstrated that the enzymes related to nitrogen metabolism,parameters related to photosynthesis,and yield components contributed to the grain yield.The T1S1 treatment resulted in the highest average grain yield of 760.75 g m^(-2),which could be attributed to increases in various attributes,such as the leaf area index,SPAD value,nitrogen metabolism,panicle number m^(-2),and grain number per panicle.In summary,the minimum tillage and straw return(T1S1)treatment is more effective at simultaneously improving both the grain yield and 2-AP content in fragrant rice.

文摘BACKGROUND Return to work(RTW)and resumption of driving(ROD)are critical factors that influence postoperative quality of life in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty(THA).However,few studies have focused on the minimally invasive(MIS)approach and its effect on these outcomes.AIM To investigate RTW and ROD's timelines and influencing factors following anterior MIS-THA.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 124 patients who underwent anterior MIS-THA.Data on the demographics,occupational physical demands,and RTW/ROD timelines were also collected.Clinical outcomes were measured using standardised scoring systems.Statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the differences between the groups based on employment status and physical workload.RESULTS Among employed patients,the RTW rate was 94.7%,with an average return time of five weeks.The average ROD time was 3.5 weeks across all patients.Despite similar postoperative clinical scores,RTW time was significantly influenced by occupations'physical workload,with heavier physical demands associated with delayed RTW.CONCLUSION Anterior MIS-THA facilitates early RTW and ROD,particularly in occupations with lower physical demands.These findings highlight the importance of considering occupational and physical workload in postoperative care planning to optimize recovery outcomes.

文摘The mineral composition of the sinter affects the quality of cold-bonded briquettes(CBB),which are prepared from returned sinter fines and serve as a cleaner blast furnace charge.Pulverization rate,compressive strength,reduction disintegration index(RDI)and compressive strength after reduction experiment were tested to analyze the experimental parameters of CBB under the influence of different basicities and sintering time.The results show that when the basicity of CBB is increased from 0.5 to 1.5,the pulverization rate increases,and performance indexes such as compressive strength,RDI,and compressive strength exhibit a decreasing trend.When the basicity is increased from 1.5 to 3.0,all the aforementioned performance indexes are improved.When the sintering time is extended from 0 to 8 h,the properties mentioned above are improved.The results of X-ray diffraction,microstructure,and thermodynamic calculations confirm that the hematite in the mineral composition of CBB tends to convert into calcium ferrite,which leads to the increased compressive strength of CBB.The reasonable basicity and sintering time during sinter preparation not only form the desired mineral composition but also improve the properties of the CBB.

文摘In recent years,load balancing routing al-gorithms have been extensively studied in satellite net-works.Most existing studies focus on path selection and hop-count optimization for end-to-end transmis-sion,while overlooking congestion issues on feeder links caused by the limited number and centralized distribution of ground stations.Hence,a multi-service routing algorithm called the Multi-service Load Bal-ancing Routing Algorithm for Traffic Return(MLB-TR)is proposed.Unlike traditional approaches,MLB-TR aims to achieve a broader and more comprehensive load balancing objective.Specifically,based on the service type,an appropriate landing satellite is first selected by considering factors such as shortest path hop count and satellite load.Then,a set of candidate paths from the source satellite to the selected landing satellite is computed.Finally,using the regional load balancing index as the optimization objective,the final transmission path is selected from the candidate path set.Simulation results show that the proposed algo-rithm outperforms the existing works.
文摘Background: Lumbar disc herniation is a common injury among athletes, especially those who practice disciplines with repetitive flexion movements, twisting and axial loading on the spine, such as weightlifting, gymnastics, hockey and American football. In refractory cases to conservative treatment, microscopic discectomy or full endoscopic discectomy are used as surgical options to relieve pain and restore patient functionality. However, the ideal time for a return to sports activities remains a matter of debate due to variations in recovery times and risks of complications associated with each technique. Methods: A review was conducted, including articles published in the last 33 years (1991-2024), as it was the earliest date matching our search criteria. Clinical studies, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical guidelines were included. Results: The most common complications when returning to sport prematurely include recurrence of the hernia, persistent pain (VAS leg 7 or higher after surgery) and reduced physical performance. The return to full activity rate of patients who underwent microdiscectomy reaches up to 90%, while the endoscopic technique shows a success rate that reaches 99%. Return to play meantime was 5.19 months (range 1.00 - 8.7 months) and mean time of 4.6 months (range 2 - 8 months) with Microdiscectomy and full endoscopic discectomy respectively. Conclusions: There is no unanimous consensus on the exact timing of return to sport due to variability in recovery times and clinical outcomes. In both techniques, evidence highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates surgeons, physical therapists and trainers to optimize recovery and ensure a safe return.

文摘Aimed at the demand of contingency return at any time during the near-moon phase in the manned lunar landing missions,a fast calculation method for three-impulse contingency return trajectories is proposed.Firstly,a three-impulse contingency return trajectory scheme is presented by combining the Lambert transfer and maneuver at the special point.Secondly,a calculation model of three-impulse contingency return trajectories is established.Then,fast calculation methods are proposed by adopting the high-order Taylor expansion of differential algebra in the twobody trajectory dynamics model and perturbed trajectory dynamics model.Finally,the performance of the proposed methods is verified by numerical simulation.The results indicate that the fast calculation method of two-body trajectory has higher calculation efficiency compared to the semi-analytical calculation method under a certain accuracy condition.Due to its high efficiency,the characteristics of the three-impulse contingency return trajectories under different contingency scenarios are further analyzed expeditiously.These findings can be used for the design of contingency return trajectories in future manned lunar landing missions.

文摘Frequent extreme heat events exacerbated by global warming pose a significant threat to human health.However,the dynamic changes in human thermal comfort during such regional extremes remain understudied.This study investigates the spatiotemporal characteristics of the Universal Thermal Climate Index(UTCI)during 5-year return period extreme heat events across the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei(BTH)region of China,utilizing 40 years of meteorological data from 174 stations.A non-stationary Generalized Extreme Value distribution model with a location parameter link function was identified as the optimal model(for 65.3%of stations)through the Akaike Information Criterion,capturing 16 regional extreme heat events.Results indicate that extreme heat thresholds rise with increasing return periods,with the highest thresholds concentrated around Beijing and Shijiazhuang.Air temperature and mean radiant temperature were found to be the dominant factors influencing UTCI,with daytime air temperature contributing 47.03%to 50.64%and nighttime mean radiant temperature contributing up to 48.55%.Spatially,“extreme heat stress”conditions,as defined by UTCI,were predominantly observed in the southeastern plains of Beijing and southern Hebei Province.Diurnally,UTCI peaked between 1200 and 1600 BT(Beijing time),generally returning to“no heat stress”levels across most areas between 0000 and 0600 BT.These findings provide crucial insights into the dynamics of human thermal comfort during extreme heat events in the BTH region,offering valuable scientific support for developing targeted heat mitigation and adaptation strategies.
文摘BACKGROUND Pedicle screw instrumentation is a critical technique in spinal surgery,offering effective stabilization for various spinal conditions.However,the impact of intraoperative imaging quality—specifically the use of both anteroposterior(AP)and lateral views—on surgical outcomes remains insufficiently studied.Evaluating whether the adequacy of these imaging modalities affects the risk of unplanned returns to theatre(URTT)within 90 days due to screw malplacement is essential for refining surgical practices and improving patient care.AIM To evaluate how intraoperative imaging adequacy influences unplanned returnto-theatre rates,focusing on AP and lateral fluoroscopic views.METHODS This retrospective cohort study analyzed 1335 patients who underwent thoracolumbar and sacral pedicle screw instrumentation between January 2013 and December 2022.Data on intraoperative imaging adequacy,screw placement,and URTT events were collected and statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS v23.Imaging adequacy was assessed based on the presence of both AP and lateral views,and outcomes were compared between imaging groups.RESULTS A total of 9016 pedicle screws were inserted,with 82 screws identified as malplaced in 52 patients.Of these,46 patients required URTT due to screw malplacement,with 37 returning within 90 days(URTT90).Patients with both AP and lateral imaging saved intraoperatively had significantly lower URTT90 rates compared to those with only lateral imaging saved,demonstrating the critical role of imaging adequacy in improving surgical outcomes.CONCLUSION This study underscores that comprehensive intraoperative imaging with both AP and lateral views reduces unplanned returns,improves outcomes,enhances precision,and offers a cost-effective approach for better spinal surgery results.

文摘There is a need for more focus in understanding the economic benefits of Climate-Smart Agriculture(CSA)interventions,particularly in sub-Saharan Africa,where extreme climate events are significantly affecting agriculture and rural livelihoods.This study used the Net Present Value(NPV),Internal Rate of Return(IRR),Benefit-Cost Ratio(BCR),and payback period to evaluate the economic viability of the adopted CSA interventions in the three villages(Doggoh,Jeffiri,and Wulling)of the dryland farming systems of northern Ghana,where CSA interventions were mostly practiced.Data were collected from 161 farm households by the questionnaire survey.The results showed that CSA interventions including livestock-crop integration,mixed cropping,crop rotation,nutrient integration,and tie ridging enhanced crop yield and the household income of smallholder farmers.The five CSA interventions selected by smallholders were in the following order of priority:livestock-crop integration(BCR=2.87),mixed cropping(BCR=2.54),crop rotation(BCR=2.24),nutrient integration(BCR=1.98),and tie ridging(BCR=1.42).Results further showed that livestock-crop integration was the most profitable CSA intervention even under a pessimistic assumption with a long payback period of 5.00 a.Moreover,this study indicated that the implementation of CSA interventions,on average,was relatively profitable and had a nominal financial risk for smallholder farmers.Understanding the economic viability of CSA interventions will help in decision-making process toward selecting the right CSA interventions for resilience development.

文摘The exploration of asteroids has received increasing attention since the 1990s because of the unique information these objects contain about the history of the early solar system.Quasi-satellites are a population of asteroids that co-orbit closely with,but are outside the gravitational control of,the planet.So far,only five Earth quasi-satellites have been recognized,among which(469219)Kamo’oalewa(provisionally designated as 2016 HO3)is currently considered the most stable and the closest of these.However,little is known about this particular asteroid or this class of near-Earth asteroids because of the difficulties of observing them.China has announced that Tianwen-2,the asteroid sample-return mission to Kamo’oalewa,will be launched in 2025.Here,we review the current knowledge of Kamo’oalewa in terms of its physical characteristics,dynamic evolution,surface environment,and origin,and we propose possible breakthroughs that the samples could bring concerning the asteroid Kamo’oalewa as an Earth quasi-satellite.Confirming the origin of Kamo’oalewa,from its prevailing provenance as debris of the Moon,could be a promising start to inferring the evolutionary history of the Moon.This history would probably include a more comprehensive view of the lunar farside and the origin of the asymmetry between the two sides of the Moon.Comparing the samples from the Moon and Kamo’oalewa would also provide new insights into the Earth wind.

文摘Aimed at the remanufacturing system, the effect of the uncertainty of returns＇ quality on bottleneck shifting is investigated. A novel definition of bottleneck station is presented and the probability of a station becoming a bottleneck is also given. By calculating the effective output, the effective operation time （EOT） and the ratio of EOT of each station, the system＇s current bottleneck of effective output time is determined. By calculating the probability coefficient of variation and index of bottleneck shifting, the quantitative performance of bottleneck shifting is obtained. Discrete event simulation and the experiment design method are adopted to simulate the system, in which the proportion of quality grading, repair rates and process routes are considered. The case study shows that the uncertainty of returns＇ quality greatly increases the probability of bottleneck shifting, and with the increase of the discrete degree of the returns＇ repair rate, the bottleneck shifting phenomenon is more obvious. Furthermore, bottleneck shifting is closely related to the process route of the dominating returns＇ quality grade.
