A crosstalk-free dual-mode sweat sensing system for naked-eye sweat loss quantification via changes in structural reflectance

Sweat loss monitoring is important for understanding the body’s thermoregulation and hydration status,as well as for comprehensive sweat analysis.Despite recent advances,developing a low-cost,scalable,and universal method for the fabrication of colorimetric microfluidics designed for sweat loss monitoring remains challenging.In this study,we propose a novel laserengraved surface roughening strategy for various flexible substrates.This process permits the construction of microchannels that show distinct structural reflectance changes before and after sweat filling.By leveraging these unique optical properties,we have developed a fully laser-engraved microfluidic device for the quantification of naked-eye sweat loss.This sweat loss sensor is capable of a volume resolution of 0.5µL and a total volume capacity of 11µL,and can be customized to meet different performance requirements.Moreover,we report the development of a crosstalk-free dual-mode sweat microfluidic system that integrates an Ag/AgCl chloride sensor and a matching wireless measurement flexible printed circuit board.This integrated system enables the real-time monitoring of colorimetric sweat loss signals and potential ion concentration signals without crosstalk.Finally,we demonstrate the potential practical use of this microfluidic sweat loss sensor and its integrated system for sports medicine via on-body studies.

Distributed IRS-Aided DF Relaying Systems:Performance Analysis and Optimization

Intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is a newly emerged and promising paradigm to substantially improve the performance of wireless communications by constructing favorable communication channels via properly tuning massive reflecting elements.This paper considers a distributed IRS aided decode-and-forward(DF)relaying system over Nakagami-m fading channels.Based on a tight approximation for the distribution of the received signalto-noise ratio(SNR),we first derive exact closed-form expressions of the outage probability,ergodic capacity,and energy efficiency for the considered system.Moreover,we propose the optimal IRS configuration considering the energy efficiency and pilot overhead.Finally,we compare the performance between the distributed IRS-aided DF relaying and multi-IRS-only systems,and verify the analytical results by using monte carlo simulations.

UAV-Assisted Multi-Object Computing Offloading for Blockchain-Enabled Vehicle-to-Everything Systems

This paper investigates an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-assisted multi-object offloading scheme for blockchain-enabled Vehicle-to-Everything(V2X)systems.Due to the presence of an eavesdropper(Eve),the system’s com-munication links may be insecure.This paper proposes deploying an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)on the UAV to enhance the communication performance of mobile vehicles,improve system flexibility,and alleviate eavesdropping on communication links.The links for uploading task data from vehicles to a base station(BS)are protected by IRS-assisted physical layer security(PLS).Upon receiving task data,the computing resources provided by the edge computing servers(MEC)are allocated to vehicles for task execution.Existing blockchain-based computation offloading schemes typically focus on improving network performance,such as minimizing energy consumption or latency,while neglecting the Gas fees for computation offloading and the costs required for MEC computation,leading to an imbalance between service fees and resource allocation.This paper uses a utility-oriented computation offloading scheme to balance costs and resources.This paper proposes alternating phase optimization and power optimization to optimize the energy consumption,latency,and communication secrecy rate,thereby maximizing the weighted total utility of the system.Simulation results demonstrate a notable enhancement in the weighted total system utility and resource utilization,thereby corroborating the viability of our approach for practical applications.

Intelligent reflecting surface for sum rate enhancement in MIMO systems

The research for the Intelligent Reflecting Surface(IRS)which has the advantages of cost and energy efficiency has been studied.Channel capacity can be effectively increased by appropriately setting the phase value of IRS elements according to the channel conditions.However,the problem of obtaining an appropriate phase value of IRs is difficult to solve due to the non-convex problem.This paper proposes an iterative algorithm for the alternating optimal solution in the Single User Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output(SU-MIMO)systems.The proposed iterative algorithm finds an alternating optimal solution that is the phase value of IRS one by one.The results show that the proposed method has better performance than that of the randomized IRS systems.The number of iterations for maximizing the performance of the proposed algorithm depends on the channel state between the IRS and the receiver.

Reflective cracking viscoelastic response of asphalt concrete under dynamic vehicle loading

In order to investigate the mechanical response of reflective cracking in asphalt concrete pavement under dynamic vehicle loading, a finite element model is established in ABAQUS. The viscoelastic behavior is described by a prony series which is calculated through nonlinear fitting to the creep test data obtained in the laboratory. Based on the viscoelastic theory, the time-temperature equivalence principle, fracture mechanics and the dynamic finite element method, both the Jintegral and the mix-mode stress intensity factor are utilized as fracture evaluation parameters, and a half-sine dynamic loading is used to simulate the vehicle loading. Finally, the mechanical response of the pavement reflective cracking is analyzed under different vehicle speeds, different environmental conditions and various damping factors. The results indicate that increasing either the vehicle speed or the structure damping factor decreases the maximum values of fracture parameters, while the structure temperature has little effect on the fracture parameters. Due to the fact that the vehicle speed can be enhanced by improving the road traffic conditions, and the pavement damping factor can become greater by modifying the components of materials, the development of reflective cracking can be delayed and the asphalt pavement service life can be effectively extended through both of these ways.

Numerical analysis of reflective cracking and fatigue lives of semi-rigid pavement structures using ABAQUS and FE-SAFE

In order to compare the impact of thickness of different layers on fatigue lives of different semi-rigid asphalt pavement structures, the mechanical results from finite element models in ABAQUS are incorporated with the fatigue results from fatigue models in FE-SAFE to calculate the mechanical response and fatigue lives of semi-rigid pavement structures under heavy traffic loads. Then the influences on fatigue lives caused by the changes in the thickness of layers in pavement structures are also evaluated. The numerical simulation results show that the aggregated base and the large stone porous mixture （LSPM） base have better anti-cracking performance than the conventional semi-rigid base. The appropriate thickness range for the aggregated layer in the aggregated base is 15 to 18 cm. The thickness of the LSPM layer in the LSPM base is recommended to be less than 15 cm.

Being Reflective Practitioners In the Professional Development

More then ever before,English language teaching focuses on learners’communicative competence.That is to say,English language teachers nowadays are not only to teach their students linguistic knowledge but also to cultivate their competence to use the language.So it’s self evident that drawing language out of students instead of cramming them in,duck stuffing,as our idiom has it,calls for more time effort and a better command of the language on the part of teachers.In other words,better trained teachers are urgently needed in order to accomplish the goals of English language teaching today.This paper just points out that being reflective practitioners is a workable and effective way leading to both the improvement of teaching in classroom and their own development as professtional practitioners.
