Most studies conducted ...Although eye problems can occur at any age, they are often common from the age of 40. Eye diseases with a prevalence associated with age and aging will continue to increase in the coming years. Most studies conducted on problems in middle-aged people have focused on visual disorders without taking into account all the ocular morbidities that may affect this segment of the population, hence the present study, the aim of which is to determine the proportions of different eye diseases in people aged 40 and over. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the ophthalmology department covering the period from January 1 to December 31, 2020. Results: In total, we collected 828 patients aged 40 and over out of 1811 patients who received ophthalmological consultation during the study period, representing 45.72%. The most represented age group was 40 - 50 years, with an average age of 58.84 years and a maximum of 93 years. There were slightly more women (62.3%) than men (37.7%). The main reasons for consultation were decreased visual acuity (26.4%) and pruritus (19.9%). The main eye diseases diagnosed were cataracts (23%), allergic conjunctivitis (21.1%), and bacterial conjunctivitis (14.2%). Discussions: The predominance of cataracts in the diagnosed diseases confirms the literature data, according to which the main eye morbidities in middle-aged and elderly people are cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Conclusion: It is crucial to have a mastery of these epidemiological data of eye diseases in order to adapt the technical platforms of eye care structures to the needs of different segments of the population.展开更多

文摘Vortex-induced vibration of hydrofoils is concerned with structural safety and noise level in hydraulic machinery and marine engineering.The research on vibration characteristics under different operating conditions is significant.In this study,numerical simulations are conducted to investigate the vortex-induced vibration responses of an elastically suspended hydrofoil with blunt trailing edge in pitch direction.The work studies the effects of four parameters,namely the structural natural frequency,mass ratio,initial attack angle,and Reynolds number on vibration characteristics,with special emphasis on frequency lock-in.Results indicate that as the structural natural frequency changes,the vibration amplitude may increase substantially within a certain frequency range,in which the vortex shedding frequency locks into the structural natural frequency,and frequency lock-in occurs.In addition,with increasing the mass ratio,the frequency range of lock-in becomes narrower,and both the upper and lower thresholds decrease.As the initial attack angle increases from 0◦to 6◦,the lock-in range gets reduced.Over the three Reynolds numbers(6×10^(5),9×10^(5),and 12×10^(5)),the lock-in range remains virtually unchanged.Moreover,for a certain structural natural frequency,modifying the mass ratio,initial attack angle,and Reynolds number could effectively suppress the vibration amplitude.

文摘While desalination is a key solution for global freshwater scarcity,its implementation faces environmental challenges due to concentrated brine byproducts mainly disposed of via coastal discharge systems.Solar interfacial evaporation offers sustainable management potential,yet inevitable salt nucleation at evaporation interfaces degrades photothermal conversion and operational stability via light scattering and pathway blockage.Inspired by the mangrove leaf,we propose a photothermal 3D polydopamine and polypyrrole polymerized spacer fabric(PPSF)-based upward hanging model evaporation configuration with a reverse water feeding mechanism.This design enables zero-liquiddischarge(ZLD)desalination through phase-separation crystallization.The interconnected porous architecture and the rough surface of the PPSF enable superior water transport,achieving excellent solar-absorbing efficiency of 97.8%.By adjusting the tilt angle(θ),the evaporator separates the evaporation and salt crystallization zones via controlled capillary-driven brine transport,minimizing heat dissipation from brine discharge.At an optimal tilt angle of 52°,the evaporator reaches an evaporation rate of 2.81 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) with minimal heat loss(0.366 W)under 1-sun illumination while treating a 7 wt%waste brine solution.Furthermore,it sustains an evaporation rate of 2.71 kg m^(−2) h^(−1) over 72 h while ensuring efficient salt recovery.These results highlight a scalable,energy-efficient approach for sustainable ZLD desalination.

文摘Quasi-zero stiffness(QZS)isolators have received considerable attention over the past years due to their outstanding vibration isolation performance in low-frequency bands.However,traditional mechanisms for achieving QZS suffer from low stiffness regions and significant nonlinear restoring forces with hardening characteristics,often struggling to withstand excitations with high amplitude.This paper presents a novel QZS vibration isolator that utilizes a more compact spring-rod mechanism(SRM)to provide primary negative stiffness.The nonlinearity of SRM is adjustable via altering the raceway of its spring-rod end,along with the compensatory force provided by the cam-roller mechanism so as to avoid complex nonlinear behaviors.The absolute zero stiffness can be achieved by a well-designed raceway curve with a concise mathematical expression.The nonlinear stiffness with softening properties can also be achieved by parameter adjustment.The study begins with the forcedisplacement relationship of the integrated mechanism first,followed by the design theory of the cam profile.The dynamic response and absolute displacement transmissibility of the isolation system are obtained based on the harmonic balance method.The experimental results show that the proposed vibration isolator maintains relatively low-dynamic stiffness even under non-ideal conditions,and exhibits enhanced vibration isolation performance compared to the corresponding linear isolator.

文摘With the introduction of 5G,users and devices can access the industrial network from anywhere in the world.Therefore,traditional perimeter-based security technologies for industrial networks can no longer work well.To solve this problem,a new security model called Zero Trust(ZT)is desired,which believes in“never trust and always verify”.Every time the asset in the industrial network is accessed,the subject is authenticated and its trustworthiness is assessed.In this way,the asset in industrial network can be well protected,whether the subject is in the internal network or the external network.However,in order to construct the zero trust model in the 5G Industrial Internet collaboration system,there are still many problems to be solved.In this paper,we first introduce the security issues in the 5G Industrial Internet collaboration system,and illustrate the zero trust architecture.Then,we analyze the gap between existing security techniques and the zero trust architecture.Finally,we discuss several potential security techniques that can be used to implement the zero trust model.The purpose of this paper is to point out the further direction for the realization of the Zero Trust Architecture(ZTA)in the 5G Industrial Internet collaboration system.

文摘In this paper,a linear optimization method(LOM)for the design of terahertz circuits is presented,aimed at enhancing the simulation efficacy and reducing the time of the circuit design workflow.This method enables the rapid determination of optimal embedding impedance for diodes across a specific bandwidth to achieve maximum efficiency through harmonic balance simulations.By optimizing the linear matching circuit with the optimal embedding impedance,the method effectively segregates the simulation of the linear segments from the nonlinear segments in the frequency multiplier circuit,substantially improving the speed of simulations.The design of on-chip linear matching circuits adopts a modular circuit design strategy,incorporating fixed load resistors to simplify the matching challenge.Utilizing this approach,a 340 GHz frequency doubler was developed and measured.The results demonstrate that,across a bandwidth of 330 GHz to 342 GHz,the efficiency of the doubler remains above 10%,with an input power ranging from 98 mW to 141mW and an output power exceeding 13 mW.Notably,at an input power of 141 mW,a peak output power of 21.8 mW was achieved at 334 GHz,corresponding to an efficiency of 15.8%.
