文摘The collective dynamic of a fractional-order globally coupled system with time delays and fluctuating frequency is investigated.The power-law memory of the system is characterized using the Caputo fractional derivative operator.Additionally,time delays in the potential field force and coupling force transmission are both considered.Firstly,based on the delay decoupling formula,combined with statistical mean method and the fractional-order Shapiro–Loginov formula,the“statistic synchronization”among particles is obtained,revealing the statistical equivalence between the mean field behavior of the system and the behavior of individual particles.Due to the existence of the coupling delay,the impact of the coupling force on synchronization exhibits non-monotonic,which is different from the previous monotonic effects.Then,two kinds of theoretical expression of output amplitude gains G and G are derived by time-delay decoupling formula and small delay approximation theorem,respectively.Compared to G,G is an exact theoretical solution,which means that G is not only more accurate in the region of small delay,but also applies to the region of large delay.Finally,the study of the output amplitude gain G and its resonance behavior are explored.Due to the presence of the potential field delay,a new resonance phenomenon termed“periodic resonance”is discovered,which arises from the periodic matching between the potential field delay and the driving frequency.This resonance phenomenon is analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively,uncovering undiscovered characteristics in previous studies.

文摘Objective:The neurotoxicity of carbon monoxide(CO)to the central nervous system is a key pathogenesis of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning(DEACMP).Our previous study found that retinoic acid(RA)can suppress the neurotoxic effects of CO.This study further explores,in vivo and in vitro,the molecular mechanisms by which RA alleviates CO-induced central nervous system damage.Methods:A cytotoxic model was established using the mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line HT22 and primary oligodendrocytes exposed to CO,and a DEACMP animal model was established in adult Kunming mice.Cell viability and apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes were assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT)assay and Annexin V/propidium iodide(PI)double staining.The transcriptional and protein expression of each gene was detected using real time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR)and Western blotting.Long noncoding RNA(lncRNA)SNHG15 and LINGO-1 were knocked down or overexpressed to observe changes in neurons and oligodendrocytes.In DEACMP mice,SNHG15 or LINGO-1 were knocked down to assess changes in central nervous tissue and downstream protein expression.Results:RA at 10 and 20μmol/L significantly reversed CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes,downregulation of SNHG15 and LINGO-1,and upregulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)and tyrosine kinase receptor B(TrkB)(all P<0.05).Overexpression of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 weakened the protective effect of RA against CO-induced cytotoxicity(all P<0.05).Knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 alleviated CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes and upregulated BDNF and TrkB expression levels(all P<0.05).Experiments in DEACMP model mice showed that knockdown of SNHG15 or LINGO-1 mitigated central nervous system injury in DEACMP(all P<0.05).Conclusion:RA alleviates CO-induced apoptosis of hippocampal neurons and oligodendrocytes,thereby reducing central nervous system injury and exerting neuroprotective effects.LncRNA SNHG15 and LINGO-1 are key molecules mediating RA induced inhibition of neuronal apoptosis and are associated with the BDNF/TrkB pathway.These findings provide a theoretical framework for optimizing the clinical treatment of DEACMP and lay an experimental foundation for elucidating its molecular mechanisms.

文摘To provide an energy-efficient and slab-demand-compliant rolling delay strategy,the simulation software is utilized to calculate the rolling delay process of the reheating furnace.Based on energy consumption evaluation,two optimization methods were employed.The bisection approach uses the needs of the slab to estimate the rolling delay temperature,and the golden section search method uses the energy consumption analysis of the slab to determine the high-temperature insulation duration.Generally,the slab closest to the discharge position in the control zone is selected as the optimization target.The optimized slab does not show a significant temperature rise after the end of the rolling delay process.When comparing the optimized rolling delay strategies with the traditional ones,the optimized rolling delay strategies not only meet the output requirements for slabs but also offer significant advantages in terms of energy efficiency,and this advantage increases with rolling delay time.

文摘We present a compact optical delay line(ODL)with wide-range continuous tunability on thin-film lithium niobate platform.The proposed device integrates an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI)architecture with dual tunable couplers,where each coupler comprises two 2×2 multimode interferometers and a MZI phase-tuning section.Experimental results demonstrate continuous delay tuning from 0 to 293 ps through synchronized control of coupling coefficients,corresponding to a 4 cm path difference between interferometer arms.The measured delay range exhibits excellent agreement with theoretical predictions derived from ODL waveguide parameters.This result addresses critical challenges in integrated photonic systems that require precise temporal control,particularly for applications in optical communications and quantum information processing,where a wide tuning range is paramount.

文摘In this paper,the authors investigate a delay differential equation of the form w(z+1)-w(z-1)+a(z)W'(Z)/w(z)=P(z,w)/Q(z,w)'where a(z)is a nonzero rational function,P(z,w)and Q(z,w)are prime polynomials in w with rational coefficients.They remove the restriction that the order of meromorphic solutions of the above difference equation isσ_(2)(w)<1,and obtain the growth of transcendental meromorphic solutions.The exact forms of all transcendental entire solutions are obtained when deg_(w)P=deg_(w)Q=0,or deg_(w)P=1 and deg_(w)Q=0,respectively.If deg_(w)P≥2 and deg_(w)Q=0,or deg_(w)Q≥1 and Q(z,0)6=0,they prove that the above equation has no transcendental entire solution.They show that the existence of transcendental entire solutions of the above equation depends on the degrees of P(z,w)and Q(z,w).
文摘The present article considers the existence of T-periodic solutions for the following Lienard equation with delay.where h≥0 is a constant, (Rn, R), (Rn, R), (R, Rn), p(t+T)=p(t) for a constant T>0 and . By use of V-function and coincidence degree. The result proposed by Ge Weigao is extended to the case of delay-differential system in the papee. One feature of our result is that the delay has a notable impact on the existence of periodic soultion.
文摘BACKGROUND Visual impairment during early childhood can hinder motor,language,and social development,yet data on its developmental impact across common pediatric ocular diseases remain limited.AIM To investigate the developmental impact of low vision and blindness on children under six with common ocular diseases.METHODS This retrospective study reviewed records of new patients under six with visual impairment at Siriraj Hospital’s low vision rehabilitation center(January 2017-October 2022).We collected ocular,systemic,and developmental data;recorded visual acuity in the better-seeing eye after refractive correction;and assessed developmental domains with the DenverⅡ.Univariable and multi-variable logistic regression identified factors associated with developmental delay.RESULTS A total of 161 pediatric patients(mean age 24.9±18.9 months)were enrolled and evaluated based on their ability to fix on and follow an object or light source.Some were further assessed using the Allen picture chart and all had visual acuity worse than 1.07±0.58 LogMAR,and 83.2%were identified as having global developmental delay(GDD).The three most common ocular causes were cortical visual impairment(CVI),optic neuropathy/atrophy,and optic nerve hypoplasia.Extremely poor visual acuity(inability to fixate and follow)was significantly associated with GDD[adjusted odds ratio(AOR)41.0]and delays in all developmental domains:Gross motor(AOR 10.0),fine motor(AOR 12.8),language(AOR 5.3),and personal-social skills(AOR 13.4)(P≤0.002).Multiple disabilities,most often visual impairment with cerebral palsy,were also significantly associated with gross motor delays(AOR 7.7)and fine motor delays(AOR 4.0)(P<0.05).CVI was also related to delays in language and personal-social skills(AOR 9.1 each)(P<0.05).CONCLUSION This study underscores the developmental issues in children with visual impairment,especially those with poorer acuity,CVI,and multiple disabilities.Significant delays were observed in all domains,including GDD.A timely referral to specialists is strongly recommended.

文摘This paper considers the fundamental channel estimation problem for the multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM)system in the presence of multi-cell interference.Specifically,this paper focuses on both channel modelling and receiver design for interference estimation and mitigation.We propose a delay-calibrated block-wise linear model,which extracts the delay of the dominant tap of each interference as a key parameter and approximates the residual channel coefficients by the recently developed blockwise linear model.Based on the delay-calibrated block-wise linear model and the angle-domain channel sparsity,we further conceive a message passing algorithm to solve the channel estimation problem.Numerical results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed algorithm over the state-of-the-art algorithms.
