It is therefore important to detect the time-varying amplitude and frequency of SSO to provide information for its control. The matching synchroextracting wavelet transform (MSEWT) is a new method proposed in this paper to serve this purpose. Based on the original synchrosqueezing wavelet transform, MSEWT uses a synchronous extraction operator to calculate the time-frequency coefficients and a chirp-rate estimation to modify the instantaneous frequency estimation. Thus, MSEWT can improve the concentration degree and reconstruction accuracy of the signal's time-frequency representation without iterative calculation, and can achieve superior noise robustness. After the time-frequency analysis and modal decomposition of the SSO by MSEWT, the amplitudes and frequencies of each oscillation component can be obtained by Hilbert transform (HT). The simulation studies demonstrate that the proposed scheme can accurately identify the modal parameters of SSO even in the case of noise interference, providing a reliable reference for stable operation of power system time-frequency.展开更多

Objective: To evaluate the uptake, efficacy, and safety profile of 68 mg etonogestrel subdermal implant in Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AEFUTHA), Ebonyi State. Materials and Methods: A 5-year retrospective descriptive analysis was carried out on 68 mg etonogestrel subdermal implant uptake among family planning attendees in AEFUTHA. The medical records of the clients that had 68 mg etonogestrel subdermal implant insertion were studied. Socio-demographic characteristics, side effects, discontinuation, and reasons for discontinuation were extracted and analyzed. Analysis was done with SPSS version 20. Data obtained were represented using frequency tables and pie chart. Results: During the study period, 2538 women accepted various methods of contraception, 14.3% (364) of the women used Implanon. The mean age of 68 mg etonogestrel subdermal implant users was 30.7 ± 13.4 years with a range of 20 - 44. Multiparous clients constituted 54.5%. The majority (55.2%) had secondary education as their highest level of education. Less than 20% of the acceptors had side effects, the commonest 24 (42.9%) being prolonged menstrual flow and followed by irregular menstrual flow 18 (32.1%). Discontinuation rate was 17.9%;desire to conceive. 40 (61.5%) was the commonest reason for discontinuation. Only one (0.3%) acceptor reported serious itching at the site of insertion. None of the women reported pregnancy during the period of use (Pearl Index = 0). Conclusion: The acceptance rate of 68 mg etonogestrel subdermal implant among the women is low, however, it is found be effective with good continuation rate in the center. Efforts should be made to increase its uptake so as to prevent unwanted pregnancy and associated sequelae.展开更多

It can impact negatively the fertility in the future by tubo-peritoneal lesions. The current study aimed to highlight the infertility factors associated with USA. Material and Methods: From January 1st 2000 to December 31st 2021, a total of 3876 patients that sought care for infertility in the University Clinic of Kinshasa and the Edith Medical Center were enrolled. The socio-demographic, clinical and paraclinical variables were recorded and analyzed in relation to USA history. Results: The patients’ average age was 33.4 ± 5.7 years. Half of them were housewives;about sixty percent of the patients were nulliparous (59.31%). Seventy percent had a secondary infertility with 43.33% having a history of unsafe abortion. The main diagnosis was genital infections and uterus myoma. The chronic endometritis, bilateral tubal occlusion and Uterine synechiae were more associated with USA group. The spermogram anomalies and other partners’ lesions seemed of infectious origin. Conclusion: The USA remains a more frequent phenomenon in our setting. The chronic endometritis, bilateral tubal occlusion, uterine synechiae and indirectly uterus myoma were the infertility factors related to USA. The genital infection of any origin seems to be the main denominator underlying the female and the male infertility in our setting.展开更多

The example showed that the sub model can not only analyze the comlex structures without the restriction of the software and hardware of the computers, but get the more precise analysis result also. This method is more suitable for the strength analysis of the complex assembly structure.展开更多
