It is a purely optical method that uses refraction of light to reconstruct the height changes of water surface. The theory was developed based on Moisy's research, but has mainly been used in small-scale applications like painting and coating industry. Based on the methods and theories of the literature review, an in-depth investigation was conducted to optimize the FS-SS method and verify its feasibility on a relatively large-scale(e.g., wake region of shallow flow). The experimental setup was simplified which is approachable in most laboratories. Through proper experimental setting and an optimized post-processing routine, the quality of image was highly improved and ensured the accuracy of results. A drop test was performed proving the continuity of FS-SS method in the time domain. Also, a comparison test with flow around a cylinder at two speeds showed the ability of FS-SS method to reconstruct the irregular water surface in relative large-scale flow structures.展开更多

In this study, a focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. Both 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/kg oxysophoridine, via intraperitoneal injection, and 6 mg/kg nimodipine, via intragastric administration, were administered daily for 7 days before modeling. After 24 hours of reperfusion, mice were tested for neurological deficit, cerebral infarct size was assessed and brain tissue was collected. Results showed that oxysophoridine at 125, 250 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg nimodipine could reduce neurological deficit scores, cerebral infarct size and brain water content in mice. These results provided evidence that oxysophoridine plays a protective role in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. In addition, oxysophoridine at 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg nimodipine increased adenosine-triphosphate content, and decreased malondialdehyde and nitric oxide content. These compounds enhanced the activities of glutathione-peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lactate dehydrogenase, and decreased the activity of nitric oxide synthase Protein and mRNA expression levels of N-methyI-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1 were markedly inhibited in the presence of 250 mg/kg oxysophoridine and 6 mg/kg nimodipine. Our experimental findings indicated that oxysophoridine has a neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice, and that the effect may be due to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and expression of the N-methyI-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1.展开更多

Based on the population assumed to be a constant size, we transform the discrete SIR epidemic model into a planar map. Then we find out its equilibrium points and eigenvalues. From discussing the influence of the coefficient parameters effected on the eigenvalues, we give the hyperbolicity of equilibrium points and determine which point is saddle, node or focus as well as their stability. Further, by deriving equations describing flows on the center manifolds, we discuss the transcritical bifurcation at the non-hyperbolic equilibrium point. Finally, we give some numerical simulation examples for illustrating the theoretical analysis and the biological explanation of our theorem.展开更多

Methods: Clinical records and pathologic slides of 532 patients with early-stage cervical cancer (330 Ib and 202 Ila) treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were reviewed. The study group comprised 520 patients with squamous call carcinoma and 12 patients with adenocarcinoma of the cervix. Median follow-up time was 67 months. The association among the various histopathologic predictors of outcome was determined with analysis. The influence of the predictors on outcome was examined with log rank survival methods and the Cox regression model. Results: FIGO stage, histologic type, tumor size, depth of invasion, parametdal infiltration, lymph node metastasis, and remote metastasis were identified as significantly biologically relevant and therefore were included as candidate predictors in multivariate analysis. In particular, parametrial infiltration and lymph node metastasis were found to be simultaneous predictors of death on multivariate analysis (P 〈 0.05). After controlling for these two factors, the other variables considered were not statistically significant up to a two-way interaction. Conclusion: Presence of parametdal infiltration and/or lymph node metastasis in women with early-stage cervical cancer is an independent poor prognostic factor. In addition, the relatively poor survival of women with more than one lymph nodes identified with cancer cells.展开更多

文摘Oxysophoridine, a new alkaloid extracted from Sophora alopecuroides L., has been shown to have a protective effect against ischemic brain damage. In this study, a focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury model was established using middle cerebral artery occlusion in mice. Both 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/kg oxysophoridine, via intraperitoneal injection, and 6 mg/kg nimodipine, via intragastric administration, were administered daily for 7 days before modeling. After 24 hours of reperfusion, mice were tested for neurological deficit, cerebral infarct size was assessed and brain tissue was collected. Results showed that oxysophoridine at 125, 250 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg nimodipine could reduce neurological deficit scores, cerebral infarct size and brain water content in mice. These results provided evidence that oxysophoridine plays a protective role in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. In addition, oxysophoridine at 62.5, 125, and 250 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg nimodipine increased adenosine-triphosphate content, and decreased malondialdehyde and nitric oxide content. These compounds enhanced the activities of glutathione-peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and lactate dehydrogenase, and decreased the activity of nitric oxide synthase Protein and mRNA expression levels of N-methyI-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1 were markedly inhibited in the presence of 250 mg/kg oxysophoridine and 6 mg/kg nimodipine. Our experimental findings indicated that oxysophoridine has a neuroprotective effect against cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice, and that the effect may be due to its ability to inhibit oxidative stress and expression of the N-methyI-D-aspartate receptor subunit NR1.

文摘Hydraulic support is the primary equipment used for surrounding rock control at fully mechanized mining faces.The load,location,and attitude of the hydraulic support are important sets of basis data to predict roof disasters.This paper summarized and analyzed the status of coal mine safety accidents and the primary influencing factors of roof disasters.This work also proposed monitoring characteristic parameters of roof disasters based on support posture-load changes,such as the support location and support posture.The data feature decomposition method of the additive model was used with the monitoring load data of the hydraulic support in the Yanghuopan coal mine to effectively extract the trend,cycle period,and residuals,which provided the period weighting characteristics of the longwall face.The autoregressive,long-short term memory,and support vector regression algorithms were used to model and analyze the monitoring data to realize single-point predictions.The seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average(SARIMA)and autoregressive integrated moving average(ARIMA)models were adopted to predict the support cycle load of the hydraulic support.The SARIMA model is shown to be better than the ARIMA model for load predictions in one support cycle,but the prediction effect of these two algorithms over a fracture cycle is poor.Therefore,we proposed a hydraulic support load prediction method based on multiple data cutting and a hydraulic support load template library.The constructed technical framework of the roof disaster intelligent prediction platform is based on this method to perform predictions and early warnings of roof disasters based on the load and posture monitoring information from the hydraulic support.

文摘This paper aims to reduce the wind resistance of the self-designed offshore tourism platform by optimizing its superstructure,and a transparent shape design is finally suggested.A numerical simulation was performed to calculate the wind load on the platform to test the effect of wind resistance reduction.Two original scale models(sealed and transparent)were established in accordance with the design requirements.The numerical simulation uses the FLUENT software combined with the built-in self-compiled user-defined function(UDF).The stochastic wind was also applied on the basis of the Davenport wind spectrum.The detached eddy simulation(DES)model was used to solve the NS equation.Numerical simulation results show that the wind resistance reduction for the transparent shape model is subtle in the horizontal direction but can effectively reduce the drag force and moment in the vertical direction.Moreover,the force variation of the transparent shape model under different wind attack angles decreases,which reduces the wind load fluctuations.

文摘Under the complex external reaction conditions,uncovering the true structural evolution of the catalyst is of profound significance for the establishment of relevant structure–activity relationships and the rational design of electrocatalysts.Here,the surface reconstruction of the catalyst was characterized by ex-situ methods and in-situ Raman spectroscopy in CO_(2)electroreduction.The final results showed that the Bi_(2)O_(3) nanoparticles were transformed into Bi/Bi_(2)O_(3) two-dimensional thin-layer nanosheets(NSs).It is considered to be the active phase in the electrocatalytic process.The Bi/Bi_(2)O_(3) NSs showed good catalytic performance with a Faraday efficiency(FE)of 94.8%for formate and a current density of 26 mA cm^(−2) at−1.01 V.While the catalyst maintained a 90%FE in a wide potential range(−0.91 V to−1.21 V)and long-term stability(24 h).Theoretical calculations support the theory that the excellent performance originates from the enhanced bonding state of surface Bi-Bi,which stabilized the adsorption of the key intermediate OCHO^(∗) and thus promoted the production of formate.

文摘As a major function of smart transportation in smart cities,vehicle model recognition plays an important role in intelligent transportation.Due to the difference among different vehicle models recognition datasets,the accuracy of network model training in one scene will be greatly reduced in another one.However,if you don’t have a lot of vehicle model datasets for the current scene,you cannot properly train a model.To address this problem,we study the problem of cold start of vehicle model recognition under cross-scenario.Under the condition of small amount of datasets,combined with the method of transfer learning,load the DAN(Deep Adaptation Networks)and JAN(Joint Adaptation Networks)domain adaptation modules into the convolutional neural network AlexNet and ResNet,and get four models:AlexNet-JAN,AlexNet-DAN,ResNet-JAN,and ResNet-DAN which can achieve a higher accuracy at the beginning.Through experiments,transfer the vehicle model recognition from the network image dataset(source domain)to the surveillance-nature dataset(target domain),both Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy have been improved by at least 20%.
文摘Objective: To estimate the impact of parametrial infiltration and lymph node metastasis on clinical outcome in women with early-stage cervical cancer following radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Methods: Clinical records and pathologic slides of 532 patients with early-stage cervical cancer (330 Ib and 202 Ila) treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy were reviewed. The study group comprised 520 patients with squamous call carcinoma and 12 patients with adenocarcinoma of the cervix. Median follow-up time was 67 months. The association among the various histopathologic predictors of outcome was determined with analysis. The influence of the predictors on outcome was examined with log rank survival methods and the Cox regression model. Results: FIGO stage, histologic type, tumor size, depth of invasion, parametdal infiltration, lymph node metastasis, and remote metastasis were identified as significantly biologically relevant and therefore were included as candidate predictors in multivariate analysis. In particular, parametrial infiltration and lymph node metastasis were found to be simultaneous predictors of death on multivariate analysis (P 〈 0.05). After controlling for these two factors, the other variables considered were not statistically significant up to a two-way interaction. Conclusion: Presence of parametdal infiltration and/or lymph node metastasis in women with early-stage cervical cancer is an independent poor prognostic factor. In addition, the relatively poor survival of women with more than one lymph nodes identified with cancer cells.

文摘Introducing heteroatoms and defects is a significant strategy to improve oxygen evolution reaction(OER)performance of electrocatalysts.However,the synergistic interaction of the heteroatom and defect still needs further investigations.Herein,we demonstrated an oxygen vacancy-rich vanadium-doped Co_(3)O_(4)(V-Ov-Co_(3)O_(4)),fabricated by V-ion implantation,could be used for high-efficient OER catalysis.X-ray photoelectron spectra(XPS)and density functional theory(DFT)calculations show that the charge density of Co atom increased,and the reaction barrier of reaction pathway from O∗to HOO∗decreased.V-Ov-Co_(3)O_(4) catalyst shows a low overpotential of 329 mV to maintain current density of 10 mA·cm^(−2),and a small Tafel slope of 74.5 mV·dec^(−1).This modification provides us with valuable perception for future design of heteroatom-doped and defect-based electrocatalysts.
文摘<strong>Background:</strong> <span style="font-family:;" "="">Lumbar paraspinal hemangiopericytoma is rare. The hemorrhagic nature of the tumor causes problems of hemostasis and makes the resection delicate. We report a rare case of lumbar paraspinal hemangiopericytoma managed with preoperative embolization. <b>Clinical Case:</b> It is about a woman of 31 years, admitted for a large left lumbar paraspinal mass that evolved for 6 years. The clinical exam showed an asymmetry of the left paraspinal muscle. The mass painless was extended from the lumbar region. The neurological exam was normal. MRI showed the left large paraspinal mass tissue. It was extended from lumbar vertebrae, L1 to L4, and measured 100 </span><span style="font-family:;" "="">×<span> 50 </span>×<span> 50 mm. It was an iso-intense signal on T1-weighted with strong enhancement after gadolinium. It was hypervascular and supplied by left intercostal T12, L1, and L2 pedicles. The complete exclusion of the hyper-vascular left paraspinal tumor was obtained after selective embolization of the artery left L1 of the pedicle of the intercostal left L1 and trunks intercostal T12 and L2 left. The total resection of a mass encapsulated was performed. The operative outcome was good. The histology concluded to a hemangiopericytoma. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy was prescribed. After 5 years, the patient was asymptomatic. MRI control confirmed tumor resection with a residue at the level of the left intervertebral foramen L1</span></span><span style="font-family:;" "=""> </span><span style="font-family:;" "="">-</span><span style="font-family:;" "=""> </span><span style="font-family:;" "="">L2. <b>Conclusion:</b> Lumbar paraspinal hemangiopericytoma is an extremely rare tumor. Selective preoperative embolization is recommended before the resection of large tumors to reduce vascular supply. A follow-up extended for these patients is necessary, given the frequency of recurrences.</span>
