文摘Asymmetric deformation and failure of surrounding rock are frequently observed in mountain tunnels and deep mining roadways,yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.To investigate asymmetric failure in roadways adjacent to fault structures and mining panels,this study adopts an integrated approach combining theoretical derivation,numerical simulation,and field application,with particular emphasis on the second invariant of the stress deviator(J_(2) )in the surrounding rock.Based on the stress solution for a circular opening,an analytical expression for J_(2)(distortion energy)is derived by considering the reorientation of principal stresses.The study demonstrates that both the increase and reorientation of principal stresses induced by fault–mining interaction jointly govern the spatial distribution of J_(2) and the resulting asymmetric failure behavior.Specifically,the principal stress rotation angle determines the location of J_(2) concentration,whereas the principal stress ratio controls its magnitude.To mitigate asymmetric failure,it is recommended to optimize the J_(2) state through adjustments in roadway size,geometry,and support systems,while simultaneously controlling the asymmetric concentration of stress deviator to enhance roadway stability.This study systematically elucidates the chain mechanism of asymmetric surrounding rock failure driven by principal stress,and further proposes a rational asymmetric joint control strategy,providing theoretical guidance for similar underground engineering conditions.
文摘Background:Amid the global rise in adolescent sedentary behavior and psychological distress,extant research has largely focused on variable-level associations,neglecting symptom-level interactions.This study applies network analysis,aims to delineate the interconnections among sedentary time,social support,social exclusion,and psychological distress in Chinese students,and to identify core and bridge symptoms to inform targeted interventions.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design to investigate the complex relationships among sedentary behavior,social support,social exclusion,and psychological distress among Chinese students.The research involved 459 high school and university students,using network analysis and mediation models to examine these relationships.Results:Network analysis revealed that the network had a density of 58.33%and an average edge weight of 0.11.In terms of centrality,stress had the highest expected influence(EI=1.135),acting as the core amplifier in the network.Sedentary behavior demonstrated the highest bridging expected influence,functioning as a critical bridge for cross-community transmission.Conversely,friend support showed the lowest bridging EI with a negative value,indicating its effectiveness in blocking cross-community diffusion and alleviating symptoms.Conclusion:With stress acting as the most influential“core engine”within the symptom network and sedentary behavior serving as the key“bridge”for cross-community transmission,interventions should first target stress to weaken the overall symptom cascade,followed by reducing sedentary behavior or enhancing friend support to disrupt cross-community pathways,thereby achieving a core-bridge dual blockade.
文摘Myelination in the central nervous system(CNS)is a highly intricate process,exclusive to vertebrates,that relies on the coordinated interaction between oligodendrocytes(OLs)and neurons.In addition to their role in forming myelin,accumulating evidence indicates that OLs provide crucial trophic support to axons,contributing to normal CNS function.Notably,OL injury and loss are observed in a variety of human conditions,including stroke,traumatic injuries of the brain and spinal cord,as well as neurodegenerative disorders such as multiple sclerosis(MS).
文摘With the speeding up of China’s urbanization process,the problems related to the left-behind children-especially the psychological matter–have become more and more prominent.To solve such kind of problems requires the intervention of the professionals like the social workers.Due to long term lack of companionship from the parents,the left-behind children suffers from insufficient emotion and internal innovation,which leads to low self efficiency.Furthermore,their poor communication skills with other people causes their withdrawal,suppress emotions,accumulate inwardly and result in severe negative impact.Therefore at this moment,emotional intervention becomes particularly crucial.The left-behind children can open up about their true thoughts through the communication with the social workers,who can promptly provide emotional comfort for their inner struggles to get result of mental nourishing.Therefore,emotional intervention renders service with warmth and highlights humanistic care.

文摘The neutral surface of a concave thin mirror is too close to the mirror surface,which makes it difficult to effectively mount the flexible structure and increases the mirror surface shape error.To address this problem,we design a flexible support structure including connectors,a support plate,and flexible structures,and construct an equivalent mirror by installing connectors and a support plate on the back of the mirror.While ensuring that the neutral surface of the equivalent mirror is moved away from the mirror surface,we optimize the support structure so that the rotary center of the flexible structure is located on the neutral surface of the equivalent mirror,avoiding the tilting moment.Following design and modeling of the structure,we analyze the static and dynamic characteristics using a finite element simulation,finding a root-mean-square(RMS)value for the surface shape error of 9.28 nm under the coupled effects of 1g gravity load,4℃ temperature rise,and 0.005 mm unevenness assembly error,with a fundamental frequency of 170.75 Hz,which all meet the design requirements.Finally,we carry out a surface shape error test of the mirror assembly,confirming it to meet the design index requirement of the mirror assembly.Simulation and test results verify the reliability and effectiveness of our proposed support structure.
文摘Objective:To explore the clinical effect of personalized nutritional support in elderly women with gestational diabetes(GDM),and explore its impact on the incidence of maternal complications and pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A total of 90 elderly pregnant women with gestational diabetes who were delivered in our hospital from January 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects.They were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,with 45 cases in each group.The control group only received routine pregnancy care and basic nutrition guidance,while the observation group received personalized nutrition support on this basis.Compare the blood glucose control,incidence of pregnancy complications,pregnancy outcomes,and neonatal outcomes between two groups of parturient.Result:After intervention,the fasting blood glucose(FPG),2-hour postprandial blood glucose(2hPG),and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(p<0.05);The incidence of complications such as gestational hypertension syndrome,polyhydramnios,premature rupture of membranes,and postpartum hemorrhage in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05);The cesarean section rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,and the incidence of adverse neonatal outcomes such as fetal distress,macrosomia,neonatal asphyxia,and neonatal hypoglycemia in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group,with statistical significance(p<0.05).Conclusion:Individualized nutritional support for elderly women with gestational diabetes can effectively improve the level of maternal blood sugar control,reduce the incidence of complications during pregnancy,and improve the outcome of pregnancy and neonatal outcomes,which is of high clinical value.
文摘YOU CANNOT SUCCUMB TO CHOLERA,unless the sewage system breaks down-likewise deaths from violence vanish,as long as emotional support networks are working properly.Gut hygiene eliminates the one,societal hygiene the other.Cholera was an inexorable plague-until Germ Theory was accepted and implemented.Violence too,will persist-until we agree and accept its equivalent in Societal Theory.The scientific method,especially Quantum Physics,sabotages philosophy-it cannot cope with the living fact that the elephant in the room is alive.Quantum Mechanics describes itself as being(1)more incomprehensible,(2)weirder,and(3)more uncertain than anything we’ve met before.But that’s chickenfeed,compared to what you find in clinical medicine,which though portrayed as being intrinsically woolly and subjective,wilfully aims to enhance life,whatever that might be.

文摘Modern intelligent systems,such as autonomous vehicles and face recognition,must continuously adapt to new scenarios while preserving their ability to handle previously encountered situations.However,when neural networks learn new classes sequentially,they suffer from catastrophic forgetting—the tendency to lose knowledge of earlier classes.This challenge,which lies at the core of class-incremental learning,severely limits the deployment of continual learning systems in real-world applications with streaming data.Existing approaches,including rehearsalbased methods and knowledge distillation techniques,have attempted to address this issue but often struggle to effectively preserve decision boundaries and discriminative features under limited memory constraints.To overcome these limitations,we propose a support vector-guided framework for class-incremental learning.The framework integrates an enhanced feature extractor with a Support Vector Machine classifier,which generates boundary-critical support vectors to guide both replay and distillation.Building on this architecture,we design a joint feature retention strategy that combines boundary proximity with feature diversity,and a Support Vector Distillation Loss that enforces dual alignment in decision and semantic spaces.In addition,triple attention modules are incorporated into the feature extractor to enhance representation power.Extensive experiments on CIFAR-100 and Tiny-ImageNet demonstrate effective improvements.On CIFAR-100 and Tiny-ImageNet with 5 tasks,our method achieves 71.68%and 58.61%average accuracy,outperforming strong baselines by 3.34%and 2.05%.These advantages are consistently observed across different task splits,highlighting the robustness and generalization of the proposed approach.Beyond benchmark evaluations,the framework also shows potential in few-shot and resource-constrained applications such as edge computing and mobile robotics.

文摘Background:As an important indicator of subjective well-being(SWB),decent work is a key guarantee for the sustainable development of teachers and their psychological health and work quality.Faced with the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the global labor market,vocational college teachers are facing challenges such as workload pressure and limited career development,which may harm their well-being.This study aims to localize the measurement method of decent work in Chinese vocational education based on the theory of the Psychology of Working Theory,and explore the relationship mechanism between organizational support,career adaptability,decent work,and job satisfaction among vocational college teachers.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 422 HVCU teachers in China(202 male,220 female)using the localized Perceived Organizational Support Scale,Career Adaptability Scale,Decent Work Scale,and Job Satisfaction Scale.Results:The overall level of HVCU teachers’decent work was above the median(Mean=4.09,SD=0.69),laying a foundation for their SWB.Decent work significantly and positively predicted job satisfaction(β=0.620,p<0.001).Organizational support(r=0.58,p<0.001)and career adaptability(r=0.82,p<0.001)can positively affect decent work,and further improve job satisfaction(collective R2 rising from 38.3%to 41.1%).Bootstrap analysis confirmed these mediating effects were robust.Conclusions:This study confirms that the combined effects of organizational support and career adaptability can enhance decent work,further improving teachers’job satisfaction and subsequent subjective well-being.Besides,this study provides an empirical basis for improving the well-being of higher vocational teachers and the sustainable development of vocational education,and has practical significance for improving the teacher incentive policy.

文摘The von Neumann bottleneck in conventional computing architectures presents a significant challenge for data-inten-sive artificial intelligence applications.A promising approach involves designing specialized hardware with on-chip parameter tunability,which directly accelerates machine learning functions.This work demonstrates a continuously tunable mixed-kernel function physically realized within a van der Waals heterostructure.We designed and fabricated a MoTe_(2)/MoS_(2)type-Ⅱvertical heterojunction phototransistor,which exhibits a non-monotonic,Gaussian-like optoelectronic response owing to its unique inter-layer charge transfer mechanism.This intrinsic physical behavior directly maps to a mixed-kernel function combining Gaussian and Sigmoid characteristics.Furthermore,the hardware kernel can be continuously modulated by in-situ tuning of external opti-cal stimuli.The mixed-kernel exhibited exceptional performance,achieving precision,accuracy,and area under the curve(AUC)values of 95.8%,96%,and 0.9986,respectively,significantly outperforming conventional kernels.By successfully embedding a complex,adaptable mathematical function into the intrinsic physical properties of a single device,this work pioneers a novel pathway toward next-generation,energy-efficient intelligent systems with hardware-level adaptability.

文摘The trade-off between leaf size and leafing intensity(i.e.,the number of leaves per unit stem size)is a key axis of trait covariation across the diversity of plant foliage deployment.However,the functional significance of leafing intensity and its possible combinations with leaf size in dealing with water limitation remains unclear.Using Populus euphratica as an illustrative tree species growing in hyper-arid climates,we investigated how leaf size and leafing intensity co-varied under varying water stresses.In the Ebinor lowlands and the upper reaches of the Tarim River(NW China),we sampled>1800 current-year twigs from 505 trees across 14 sites along a climatic gradient characterized by precipitation,potential evapotranspiration and vapor pressure deficit.Leafing intensity based on stem mass(LIM)decreased with climatic aridity,primarily due to greater stem mass,but not fewer leaves.This indicates a higher investment in structural support for leaf attachment under water stress.Both leaf area and mass decreased with LIM at a lower-than-proportional rate,with the decrease in leaf size being more pronounced under drier climates.This suggests that higher LIM incurs a high cost of reducing leaf size in water-limited habitats.These findings challenge the assumption that higher leafing intensity always confers an advantage ready for environmental stresses due to higher developmental flexibility offered by more axillary buds.Rather,we propose that a strategy of lower leafing intensity,with greater structural support for leaf attachment and less compromise in leaf size,can be advantageous under water limitation.

文摘With the global expansion of protected areas(PAs)and increasing involvement of indigenous communities,understanding their impacts on indigenous peoples is crucial.This study evaluates the extent to which China’s national cultural ecological protection areas(CEPAs)safeguard indigenous culture,using land-use disturbance as a key metric to assess impacts on cultural keystone species(CKS).We employ a multi-step evaluation framework that reclassifies land use,identifies environment-dependent CKS,and analyzes land-use dynamics by comparing disturbances before and after CEPAs establishment.Our results reveal that,despite overall improvements in land conditions,over 36%of CEPAs are in land disturbance threat or warning status.All of these sites are indigenous CEPAs,indicating a disproportionate disturbance burden on indigenous communities.Notably,traditional medicinal practices are particularly vulnerable.These findings underscore the urgent need for policies aligning ecological diversity with cultural diversity to support the global commitment to expand PAs to over 30%of Earth’s land and oceans by 2030.
