For the purpose of facilitating data transmission, AaF relays are utilized to regulate signal communication between sensors and filters. Here, the randomly varying channel parameters are represented by a set of stochastic variables whose occurring probabilities are permitted to exhibit bounded uncertainty. Employing the spherical-radial cubature principle, a local filter under AaF relays is initially constructed. This construction ensures and minimizes an upper bound of the filtering error covariance by designing an appropriate filter gain. Subsequently, the local filters are fused through the application of the covariance intersection fusion rule. Furthermore, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error covariance's upper bound is investigated through establishing certain sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CKFF scheme is ultimately validated via a simulation experiment concentrating on a three-phase induction machine.展开更多

文摘Background The emergence of antibiotic resistant microorganisms associated with conventional swine production practices has increased interest in acid-based compounds having antimicrobial properties and other biological functions as nutritional interventions.Despite the interest in organic acids and monoglycerides,few studies have examined the effects of the combination of these acid-based additives in weaned pigs under disease challenge conditions.Therefore,this study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation with blend of organic acids and/or medium-chain fatty acid monoglycerides on intestinal health and systemic immunity of weaned pigs experimentally infected with an enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(ETEC)F18 at 4-week of age.Results Dietary supplementation of organic acids,monoglycerides,or both organic acids and monoglycerides(combination)reduced(P<0.05)the diarrhea frequency of ETEC F18-infected pigs throughout the experimental period(d−7 to 21 post-inoculation).This is consistent with the reduced(P<0.05)proportion ofβ-hemolytic coliforms in feces observed for the organic acid and combination treatments on d 10 post-inoculation.Supplementation of organic acids,monoglycerides,or combination also reduced(P<0.05)bacterial translocation in mesenteric lymph nodes on d 21 post-inoculation.Pigs fed with monoglycerides or combination had lower(P<0.05)white blood cells on d 5 post-inoculation,and pigs fed the combination also had lower(P<0.05)lymphocytes than pigs in control group.Monoglyceride supplementation increased(P<0.05)white blood cells and neutrophils compared with control group on d 14 post-inoculation.However,supplementation with organic acid blend,monoglyceride blend,or combination did not affect growth performance in this experiment.Conclusions Supplementation with monoglycerides or organic acids alone or in combination improves the detrimental effects of ETEC F18 infection in weaned pigs,as indicated by reduced diarrhea,fecal shedding ofβ-hemolytic coliforms,and bacterial translocation,and thus enhancing disease resistance.Monoglycerides reduced the inflammatory response during peak infection,but their immunomodulatory and possible synergistic effects with organic acids need to be further investigated.

文摘BACKGROUND:The lack of a stable,easy-to-operate animal model for severe trauma has hindered the research progress.The aim of this study is to develop a mouse model that replicates the pathophysiological conditions of severe trauma,providing a reliable research tool.METHODS:Male C57BL/6J mice(aged 8-10 weeks and weighting approximately 20 g)were used to establish the severe trauma model.Under anesthesia,a midshaft femoral fracture was created and packed with sterile cotton.A midline incision was made from the inguinal region to the sternum,exposing the abdominal organs for 30 min.The right femoral artery was cannulated to induce controlled blood loss at 30%,35%,40%,and 50%of the total blood volume.Survival rates were monitored for 24 h post-induction.In the mice that experienced 30%blood loss,the mean arterial pressure,body temperature,blood gas parameters,peripheral blood inflammatory markers,and major organ pathological changes were assessed.RESULTS:Mice with femoral fractures,soft tissue injuries,abdominal organ exposure,and 30%blood loss exhibited stable survival rates.Increased blood loss significantly reduced survival rates.Mean arterial pressure decreased initially,recovering within 0-15 min and returning to baseline by 50 min.Similarly,the body temperature decreased initially and gradually recovered to baseline within 50 min.Levels of peripheral blood inflammatory markers remained elevated for 12 h post-injury.Distant organs,including intestines,lungs,liver,spleen and kidneys,displayed varying degrees of injury.CONCLUSION:The established mouse model replicates the pathophysiological responses to severe trauma,indicating stability and reproducibility,which could be an useful tool for further trauma research.

文摘Actuator faults can be critical in turbofan engines as they can lead to stall,surge,loss of thrust and failure of speed control.Thus,fault diagnosis of gas turbine actuators has attracted considerable attention,from both academia and industry.However,the extensive literature that exists on this topic does not address identifying the severity of actuator faults and focuses mainly on actuator fault detection and isolation.In addition,previous studies of actuator fault identification have not dealt with multiple concurrent faults in real time,especially when these are accompanied by sudden failures under dynamic conditions.This study develops component-level models for fault identification in four typical actuators used in high-bypass ratio turbofan engines under both dynamic and steady-state conditions and these are then integrated with the engine performance model developed by the authors.The research results reported here present a novel method of quantifying actuator faults using dynamic effect compensation.The maximum error for each actuator is less than0.06%and 0.07%,with average computational time of less than 0.0058 s and 0.0086 s for steady-state and transient cases,respectively.These results confirm that the proposed method can accurately and efficiently identify concurrent actuator fault for an engine operating under either transient or steady-state conditions,even in the case of a sudden malfunction.The research results emonstrate the potential benefit to emergency response capabilities by introducing this method of monitoring the health of aero engines.

文摘The 7 ka old Qixiangzhan lava flow(QXZ,Tianchi volcano)represents the last eruptive event before the 946 CE,caldera-forming‘Millennium’eruption(ME).Petrographic,whole rock,mineral composition,Sr-Nd isotopic data on QXZ show that:(a)the lava consists of two components,constituted by comenditic obsidian fragments immersed in a continuous,aphanitic component;(b)both components have the same geochemical and isotopic variations of the ME magma.The QXZ and ME comendites result from fractional crystallization and crustal assimilation processes.The temperature of the QXZ magma was about 790℃ and the depth of the magma reservoir around 7 km,the same values as estimated for ME.QXZ had a viscosity of 10^(5.5)-10^(9) Pa s and a velocity of 3-10 km/yr.The emplacement time was 0.5-1.6yr and the flow rate 0.48-1.50 m^(3)/s.These values lie within the range estimated for other rhyolitic flows worldwide.The QXZ lava originated through a mixed explosive-effusive activity with the obsidian resulting from the ascent of undercooling,degassing and the fragmentation of magma along the conduit walls,whereas the aphanitic component testifies to the less undercooled and segregated flow at the center of the conduit.The QXZ lava demonstrates the extensive history of the ME magma chamber.

文摘This paper addresses the consensus problem of nonlinear multi-agent systems subject to external disturbances and uncertainties under denial-ofservice(DoS)attacks.Firstly,an observer-based state feedback control method is employed to achieve secure control by estimating the system's state in real time.Secondly,by combining a memory-based adaptive eventtriggered mechanism with neural networks,the paper aims to approximate the nonlinear terms in the networked system and efficiently conserve system resources.Finally,based on a two-degree-of-freedom model of a vehicle affected by crosswinds,this paper constructs a multi-unmanned ground vehicle(Multi-UGV)system to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.Simulation results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively handle external disturbances such as crosswinds in practical applications,ensuring the stability and reliable operation of the Multi-UGV system.

文摘The rapid growth of artificial intelligence has accelerated data generation,which increasingly exposes the limitations faced by traditional computational architectures,particularly in terms of energy consumption and data latency.In contrast,data-centric computing that integrates processing and storage has the potential of reducing latency and energy usage.Organic optoelectronic synaptic transistors have emerged as one type of promising devices to implement the data-centric com-puting paradigm owing to their superiority of flexibility,low cost,and large-area fabrication.However,sophisticated functions including vector-matrix multiplication that a single device can achieve are limited.Thus,the fabrication and utilization of organic optoelectronic synaptic transistor arrays(OOSTAs)are imperative.Here,we summarize the recent advances in OOSTAs.Various strategies for manufacturing OOSTAs are introduced,including coating and casting,physical vapor deposition,printing,and photolithography.Furthermore,innovative applications of the OOSTA system integration are discussed,including neuromor-phic visual systems and neuromorphic computing systems.At last,challenges and future perspectives of utilizing OOSTAs in real-world applications are discussed.
文摘BACKGROUND The diagnosis of gastric carcinoma(GC)is essential for improving clinical outcomes.However,the biomarkers currently used for GC screening are not ideal.AIM To explore the diagnostic implications of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),and systemic immune-inflammatory index(SII)for GC.METHODS The baseline data of 133 patients with GC and 134 patients with precancerous gastric conditions admitted between January 2022 and December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The information on peripheral blood platelet,neutrophil,and lymphocyte counts in each patient was collected,and the NLR,PLR,and SII levels of both groups were calculated.Additionally,multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted,and the diagnostic implications of NLR,PLR,and SII in differentiating patients with precancerous gastric conditions,compared with those with GC,were analyzed through receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.RESULTS The data indicated that NLR,PLR,and SII had abnormally increased levels in the patients with GC.Gender and body mass index were risk factors for the occurrence of GC.ROC data revealed that the areas under the curve of three patients with precancerous gastric conditions,who were differentiated from those with GC,were 0.824,0.787,and 0.842,respectively.CONCLUSION NLR,PLR,and SII are all abnormally expressed in GC and have diagnostic implications,especially when used as joint indicators,in distinguishing patients with precancerous gastric conditions from those with GC.

文摘AIM:To determine the risk factors and time to non-arteric ischemic optic neuropathy(NAION)occurrence among Thai type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients.METHODS:A retrospective review of 266 newly diagnosed T2DM cases at Rajavithi Hospital between 2007 and 2016 was conducted to determine time to occurrence of NAION and evaluate associated risk factors.RESULTS:Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common pre-existing vascular diseases and there was a significant male predominance in the NAION group.The mean age of the NAION group was significantly higher than that of the group without NAION.A higher proportion of subjects in the NAION group had hypertension,dyslipidemia,high diastolic blood pressure,smokers,and had a small cup-to-disc ratio(CDR).Higher levels of triglycerides and lowdensity lipoprotein-cholesterol in the group with NAION.Fiftyfive patients among 266 participants(20.68%)developed NAION during a mean follow-up time of 81.26±25.04mo.In a multivariable logistic regression analysis,dyslipidemia(OR=8.36,95%CI,3.447–20.273,P<0.001),high low density lipoprotein levels(OR=1.017,95%CI,1.004–1.029,P=0.009),and small CDR(OR=11.92,95%CI,4.477–31.741,P<0.001)were significant risk factors for NAION development.Smoking was the strongest predictive risk(OR=12.843,95%CI,3.959–41.659,P<0.001).Vascular complications of T2DM and aspirin were not associated with NAION.CONCLUSION:T2DM patients with dyslipidemia or a small CDR should be carefully followed up as they are at increased risk of developing NAION.
文摘Modern aircraft tend to use fuel thermal management systems to cool onboard heat sources.However,the design of heat transfer architectures for fuel thermal management systems relies on the experience of the engineers and lacks theoretical guidance.This paper proposes a concise graph representation method based on graph theory for fuel thermal management systems,which can represent all possible connections between subsystems.A generalized optimization algorithm is proposed for fuel thermal management system architecture to minimize the heat sink.This algorithm can autonomously arrange subsystems with heat production differences and efficiently utilize the architecture of the fuel heat sink.At the same time,two evaluation indices are proposed from the perspective of subsystems.These indices intuitively and clearly show that the reason for the high efficiency of heat sink utilization is the balanced and moderate cooling of each subsystem and verify the rationality of the architecture optimization method.A set of simulations are also conducted,which demonstrate that the fuel tank temperature has no effect on the performance of the architecture.This paper provides a reference for the architectural design of aircraft fuel thermal management systems.The metrics used in this paper can also be utilized to evaluate the existing architecture.

文摘To address the issue of coordinated control of multiple hydrogen and battery storage units to suppress the grid-injected power deviation of wind farms,an online optimization strategy for Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems based on measurement feedback is proposed.First,considering the high charge/discharge losses of hydrogen storage and the low energy density of battery storage,an operational optimization objective is established to enable adaptive energy adjustment in the Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage system.Next,an online optimization model minimizing the operational cost of the hybrid system is constructed to suppress grid-injected power deviations with satisfying the operational constraints of hydrogen storage and batteries.Finally,utilizing the online measurement of the energy states of hydrogen storage and batteries,an online optimization strategy based on measurement feedback is designed.Case study results show:before and after smoothing the fluctuations in wind power,the time when the power exceeded the upper and lower limits of the grid-injected power accounted for 24.1%and 1.45%of the total time,respectively,the proposed strategy can effectively keep the grid-injected power deviations of wind farms within the allowable range.Hydrogen storage and batteries respectively undertake long-term and short-term charge/discharge tasks,effectively reducing charge/discharge losses of the Battery-hydrogen hybrid energy storage systems and improving its operational efficiency.

文摘AIM:To assess the relationship between serological parameters and the prognosis of young patients with retinal vein occlusion(RVO)after intravitreal conbercept injection(IVC).METHODS:This study enrolled 100 young patients(≤50 years old)diagnosed with RVO-related macular edema(RVO-ME)who had been undergoing IVC at the 474 Hospital in Xinjiang between January 2022 and October 2023.Patients were categorized into two groups:70 eyes in the effective group and 30 eyes in the ineffective group.The effective group comprised patients exhibiting a visual acuity improvement of≥2 lines at the last follow-up,with resolved ME and central macular thickness(CMT)<300μm.Conversely,the ineffective group included patients with visual acuity improvement of<1 line,persistent ME,and CMT≥300μm at the last follow-up.Serological parameters,including white blood cell count,neutrophil count,lymphocyte count,monocyte count,and mean platelet volume were assessed before treatment.The correlation between bestcorrected visual acuity(BCVA)and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR),platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio(PLR),systemic immune inflammation index(SII),and systemic immune response index(SIRI)was analyzed.Additionally,the association between these serological parameters and the efficacy of IVC was explored.RESULTS:Three months after treatment,the effective group demonstrated a significant improvement in BCVA from 0.82±0.20 to 0.36±0.10,with a concurrent decrease in CMT from 661.28±163.90 to 200.61±82.45μm(P<0.001).Conversely,the ineffective group exhibited minimal changes in BCVA(0.86±0.25 to 0.82±0.14)and CMT(669.84±164.95 to 492.13±138.67μm,P<0.001).The differences in BCVA and CMT between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.001).According to subgroup analysis,in patients with central RVO(CRVO),BCVA improved from 0.82±0.23 to 0.49±0.12 in the effective group and from 0.80±0.18 to 0.76±0.22 in the ineffective group(P<0.001).The CMT changes followed a similar pattern.In patients with branch RVO(BRVO),comparable trends in BCVA and CMT changes were observed between the effective and ineffective groups(P<0.001).Additionally,the effective group exhibited higher PLR and SII values than the ineffective group(P<0.05).Further CRVO and BRVO subgroups analysis exhibited consistent PLR and SII value trends.CONCLUSION:Compared to other inflammatory factors,elevated PLR and SII levels before treatment are better predictors of outcomes in young RVO-ME patients undergoing IVC treatment.

文摘In this paper, the problem of cubature Kalman fusion filtering(CKFF) is addressed for multi-sensor systems under amplify-and-forward(AaF) relays. For the purpose of facilitating data transmission, AaF relays are utilized to regulate signal communication between sensors and filters. Here, the randomly varying channel parameters are represented by a set of stochastic variables whose occurring probabilities are permitted to exhibit bounded uncertainty. Employing the spherical-radial cubature principle, a local filter under AaF relays is initially constructed. This construction ensures and minimizes an upper bound of the filtering error covariance by designing an appropriate filter gain. Subsequently, the local filters are fused through the application of the covariance intersection fusion rule. Furthermore, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error covariance's upper bound is investigated through establishing certain sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CKFF scheme is ultimately validated via a simulation experiment concentrating on a three-phase induction machine.
