The results indicate that the new type of FeOx/Ce- Mg-O catalyst exhibits high activity in low-temperature methane combustion, such that the T90 at which 90% conversion of methane occurs can be obtained at 560 ℃. The structure of the catalyst and the effect of the supporter on catalytic activity were characterized by transmission electronic microscopy （TEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and temperature-programmed reduction （TPR）. The results indicate that the high catalytic activity of FeOx/Ce-Mg-O over methane combustion is strongly dependent on the particle size, typical crystal phase of the Ce-Mg-O, and the interaction of FeOx and Ce-Mg-O.展开更多

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Four hundred and seventy new smear positive TB patients above 14 years of age were consecutively recruited between October 1 and December 31 2012 from 34 (23 public and 11 private) directly observed treatment short course (DOTS) facilities that offered TB treatment and microscopy services. They were followed up till treatment was completed. Logistic regression was used to assess the predictors of treatment interruption. Results: A significantly higher proportion of smokers (58.6% vs 38.3%, p = 0.030), patients supervised by treatment supporters (44.4% vs 34.7%, p = 0.032), patients not counselled before initiation of treatment (55.6% vs 38.2%, p = 0.041), patients managed at private DOTS facilities (50% vs 36.3%, p = 0.010) and TB/HIV co-infected patients (54.2% vs 38.6%, p = 0.038) had treatment interruption. Predictors of treatment interruption were supervision by treatment supporters, smoking, lack of pre-treatment counselling and TB/HIV co-infection. Conclusion: A higher proportion of patients supervised by treatment supporters had treatment interruption than those supervised by health care workers. There may be a need to review the concept of treatment supervision by treatment supporters in Lagos state Nigeria.展开更多

However, the scaling process of elastic rings introduces complexities in multi-parameter geometric distortions, leading to a diminution in the predictive accuracy of the distorted similitude. To address this challenge, this study formulates a novel set of scaling laws, tailored to account for the intricate geometric distortions associated with elastic rings. The proposed scaling laws are formulated based on the intrinsic deformation characteristics of elastic rings, rather than the traditional systemic governing equations. Numerical and experimental cases are conducted to assess the efficacy and precision of the proposed scaling laws, and the obtained results are compared with those achieved by traditional methods. The outcomes demonstrate that the scaling laws put forth by this study significantly enhance the predictive capabilities for deformations of elastic rings.展开更多

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In recent decades,the proliferation of email communication has markedly escalated,resulting in a concomitant surge in spam emails that congest networks and presenting security risks.This study introduces an innovative spam detection method utilizing the Horse Herd Optimization Algorithm(HHOA),designed for binary classification within multi⁃objective framework.The method proficiently identifies essential features,minimizing redundancy and improving classification precision.The suggested HHOA attained an impressive accuracy of 97.21%on the Kaggle email dataset,with precision of 94.30%,recall of 90.50%,and F1⁃score of 92.80%.Compared to conventional techniques,such as Support Vector Machine(93.89%accuracy),Random Forest(96.14%accuracy),and K⁃Nearest Neighbours(92.08%accuracy),HHOA exhibited enhanced performance with reduced computing complexity.The suggested method demonstrated enhanced feature selection efficiency,decreasing the number of selected features while maintaining high classification accuracy.The results underscore the efficacy of HHOA in spam identification and indicate its potential for further applications in practical email filtering systems.
