Orthokeratology with increased compression factor in adolescent myopia control:a 2-year prospective randomized clinical trial

AIM:To explore the long-term efficacy,safety,and optical mechanism of orthokeratology with increased compression factor in adolescent myopia control.METHODS:A prospective,double-masked,and randomized clinical trial was performed from May 2016 to June 2020.Subjects aged between 8 and 16y,with myopia(-5.00 to-1.00 D),low astigmatism(≥-1.50 D)and anisometropia(≤1.00 D),were stratified into low(-2.75 to-1.00 D)and moderate(-5.00 to-3.00 D)myopia groups.Then they were randomly assigned to wear either increased compression factor(ICF;1.75 D)orthokeratology or conventional compression factor(CCF;0.75 D)orthokeratology.The data were recorded including axial length(AL),spherical equivalent(SE),best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),near visual acuity(NVA),corneal staining(using Efron grading scales),corneal hysteresis(CH),corneal resistance factor(CRF),higher-order aberrations(HOAs,expressed as root mean square,RMS_(h)),and subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCh T)in the 2-year followup period.Pearson's correlation coefficient was conducted to analyze the association between the changes in AL and RMS_(h),SFCh T.RESULTS:At the 2-year visit,there were no statistical differences in all the parameters between the ICF group and the CCF group in low myopia subjects(P>0.05).For the moderate myopia subjects,the ICF group had shorter AL elongation(0.23±0.08 vs 0.30±0.11 mm,P=0.015),higher RMS_(h)(1.94±0.50 vs 1.65±0.51μm,P=0.041),and higher SFCh T(279.04±35.72 vs 254.08±29.60μm,P=0.008)than those in CCF group.The change in AL was negatively correlated with RMS_(h)(r=-0.687,P<0.001)and SFCh T(r=-0.464,P=0.013).CONCLUSION:ICF orthokeratology can control the progression of moderate myopia more effectively,which might be related to greater RMS_(h) and SFCh T.

Electron G-Factor Anomaly and the Charge Thickness

The electron g-factor relates the magnetic moment to the spin angular momentum. It was originally theoretically calculated to have a value of exactly 2. Experiments yielded a value of 2 plus a very small fraction, referred to as the g-factor anomaly. This anomaly has been calculated theoretically as a power series of the fine structure constant. This document shows that the anomaly is the result of the electron charge thickness. If the thickness were to be zero, g = 2 exactly, and there would be no anomaly. As the thickness increases, the anomaly increases. An equation relating the g-factor and the surface charge thickness is presented. The thickness is calculated to be 0.23% of the electron radius. The cause of the anomaly is very clear, but why is the charge thickness greater than zero? Using the model of the interior structure of the electron previously proposed by the author, it is shown that the non-zero thickness, and thus the g-factor anomaly, are due to the proposed positive charge at the electron center and compressibility of the electron material. The author’s previous publication proposes a theory for splitting the electron into three equal charges when subjected to a strong external magnetic field. That theory is revised in this document, and the result is an error reduced to 0.4% in the polar angle where the splits occur and a reduced magnetic field required to cause the splits.

A novel correlation approach for prediction of natural gas compressibility factor

Gas compressibility factor （z-Factor） is one of the most important parameters in upstream and downstream calculations of petroleum industries.The importance of z-Factor cannot be overemphasized in oil and gas engineering calculations.The experimental measurements,Equations of State （EoS） and empirical correlations are the most common sources of z-Factor calculations.There are more than twenty correlations available with two variables for calculating the z-Factor from fitting in an EoS or just through fitting techniques.However,these correlations are too complex,which require initial value and more complicated and longer computations or have magnitude error.The purpose of this study is to develop a new accurate correlation to rapidly estimate z-Factor.Result of this correlation is compared with large scale of database and experimental data also.Proposed correlation has 1.660 of Absolute Percent Relative Error （EABS） versus Standing and Katz chart and has also 3.221 of EABS versus experimental data.The output of this correlation can be directly assumed or be used as an initial value of other implicit correlations.This correlation is valid for gas coefficient of isothermal compressibility （cg） calculations also.

Rapidly Estimating Natural Gas Compressibility Factor

Natural gases containing sour components exhibit different gas compressibility factor （Z） behavior than do sweet gases. Therefore, a new accurate method should be developed to account for these differences. Several methods are available today for calculating the Z-factor from an equation of state. However, these equations are more complex than the foregoing correlations, involving a large number of parameters, which require more complicated and longer computations. The aim of this study is to develop a simplified calculation method for a rapid estimating Z-factor for sour natural gases containing as much as 90% total acid gas. In this article, two new correlations are first presented for calculating the pseudo- critical pressure and temperature of the gas mixture as a function of the gas specific gravity. Then, a simple correlation on the basis of the standard gas compressibility factor chart is introduced for a quick estimation of sweet gases＇ compressibility factor as a function of reduced pressure and temperature. Finally, a new corrective term related to the mole fractions of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide is developed.

An efficient correlation for calculating compressibility factor of natural gases

Compressibility factor （z-factor） values of natural gases are necessary in most petroleum engineering calculations.Necessity arises when there are few available experimental data for the required composition,pressure and temperature conditions.One of the most common methods of calculating z-factor values is empirical correlation.Firstly,a new correlation based on the famous Standing-Katz （S-K） Chart is presented to predict z-factor values.The advantage of this correlation is that it is explicit in z and thus does not require an iterative solution as is required by other methods.Secondly,the comparison between new one and other correlations is carried out and the results indicate the superiority of the new correlation over the other correlations used to calculate z-factor.

Experimental determination and prediction of the compressibility factor of high CO_2 content natural gas with and without water vapor

In order to study the effect of different CO2 contents on gas compressibility factor（Z-factor）,the JEFRI-PVT apparatus has been used to measure the Z-factor of dry natural gas with CO2 content range from 10.74 to 70.42 mol%at the temperature range from 301.2 to 407.3 K and pressure range from 7 to 44 MPa.The results show that Z-factor decreases with increasing CO2 content in natural gas at constant temperature and increases with increasing temperature for natural gas with the same CO2 content.In addition,the Z-factor of water-saturated natural gas with high CO2 content has been measured.A comparison of the Z-factor between natural gas with and without saturated water vapor indicates that the former shows a higher Z-factor than the latter.Furthermore,Peng-Robinson,Hall-Yarborough,and Soave-Benedict-Webb- Rubin equations of state（EoS）are used for the calculation of Z-factor of high CO2 content natural gas with and without water vapor.The optimal binary interaction parameters（BIP）for PR EoS are presented.The measured Z-factor is compared with the calculated Z-factor based on three models,which shows that PR EoS combined with van der Waals mixing rule for gas without water and Huron-Vidal mixing rule for water-saturated gas,are in good agreement with the experimental data.

An accurate empirical correlation for predicting natural gas compressibility factors

The compressibility factor of natural gas is an important parameter in many gas and petroleum engineering calculations. This study presents a new empirical model for quick calculation of natural gas compressibility factors. The model was derived from 5844 experimental data of compressibility factors for a range of pseudo reduced pressures from 0.01 to 15 and pseudo reduced temperatures from 1 to 3. The accuracy of the new empirical correlation has been compared with commonly used existing methods. The comparison indicates the superiority of the new empirical model over the other methods used to calculate compressibility factor of natural gas with average absolute relative deviation percent （AARD%） of 0.6535.

Influencing factor of sinter body strength and its effects on iron ore sintering indexes

Sinter body strength, which reflects the strength of sinter, plays an important role in the improvement of sinter. In this study, the sinter body strengths of iron ores were measured using a microsintering method. The relationship between the chemical composition and sinter body strength was discussed. Moreover, sinter-pot tests were performed. The effects of sinter body strength on the sintering indexes were then elucidated, and the bottom limit of sinter body strength of blending ores was confirmed. In the results, the compressive strengths（CSs） of iron ores are observed to decrease with the increasing of the contents of loss on ignition（LOI）, SiO 2, and Al2O3; however, LOI of less than 3wt% does not substantially influence the CSs of fine ores. In the case of similar mineral composition, the porosity, in particular, the ratio between the number of large pores and the total number of pores, strongly influences the sinter body strength. With an increase of the blending-ore CSs used in sinter-pot tests, the yield, productivity, and tumbler strength increase, and the solid fuel consumption decreases. The CSs of the blending ores only slightly affect the sintering time. The CS bottom limit of the blending ores is 310 N. When the CSs of the blending ores increase by 10%, the yield, productivity, and tumbler index increase by 1.9%, 2.8%, and 2.0%, respectively, and the solid fuel consumption decreases by 1.9%.

Study on compressibility of traffic flow

In order to describe the compressibility of traffic flows and determine the compression factors, the Mach number of gas dynamics is introduced, and the concept and the formula of the compression factor are obtained. According to the concept of the compression factor and its differential equation, a stop-wave model is built. The theoretical value and the observed one are obtained by the survey data in Changchun city. The relative error between the two values is 20. 3%. The accuracy is improved 39% compared with the result from the traditional stop-wave model. The results show that the traffic flow is compressible, and the methods of research on gas compressibility is also applicable to the traffic flow. The stop-wave model obtained by the compression factor can better describe the phenomenon of the stop wave at a signalized intersection when compared with the traditional stop-wave model.

讨论了不同水合物胶结类型的流体饱和多孔隙固体中地震波的衰减情况,分析了估算天然气水合物和游离气饱和度影响因素.结果表明,地层孔隙度、纵波速度模型和弹性模量的计算方法是影响反演水合物和游离气饱和度的关键因素.含水合物地层的吸收与水合物胶结类型密切相关,当水合物远离固体颗粒,像流体一样充填在孔隙时,品质因子出现负异常,而当水合物胶结固体颗粒影响骨架的弹性性质,其品质因子出现正异常.根据布莱克海台地区164航次995井的测井资料,分别应用低频和高频速度模型估算了水合物和游离气饱和度.由低频速度模型得到的水合物饱和度(占孔隙空间的)10%～20%,游离气饱和度(占孔隙空间的)0.5%～1%;而由高频速度模型得到的水合物饱和度(占孔隙空间的)5%～10%,游离气饱和度(占孔隙空间的)1%～2%.

Sliding-Mode PID Control of UAV Based on Particle Swarm Parameter Tuning

Due to the coupled motion between the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)and the manipulator,the underactuation characteristics of the system itself,and the influence of external uncertainties,the stability of the rotor UAV’s manipulator control system is difficult to control.Based on the dynamic model of the rotor UAV,the stability of the whole UAV manipulator control system is improved by using the piecewise cost function,the compression factor particle swarm optimization(PSO)algorithm and the sliding mode PID to establish the sliding mode PID control stability method based on the PSO.Compared with the sliding mode PID control method,this method solves the serious buffeting problem in the sliding mode control,reduces the influence of the external disturbance and realizes the attitude stabilization control of the UAV manipulator quickly and accurately,thus shortens the system adjustment time and improves the anti-interference ability.

基于可靠指标的桥梁结构稳定安全系数研究

桥梁相关规范规定,结构的第一类稳定安全系数不应小于4,但当第一类稳定安全系数取4时,能否保证结构在更可能出现的第二类失稳发生时的可靠指标达到目标可靠指标则值得研究。以钢筋混凝土受压构件为例,分别进行弹性和弹塑性稳定计算,取第一类稳定安全系数等于4,采用一次可靠度方法FORM得出第一类弹性失稳时的可靠指标,利用计算该可靠指标时的荷载效应和弹塑性临界荷载计算第二类弹塑性失稳时的可靠指标。结果表明:某些情况下,当第一类稳定安全系数取4时并不足以保证结构发生第二类失稳时的可靠指标达到目标可靠指标。文中还讨论了结构参数变化对结构第一类和第二类失稳时可靠指标及稳定安全系数的影响,得出第二类稳定安全系数和可靠指标的关系,并给出第二类稳定安全系数的取值建议。
