The underlying unique pathophysiology of dyspnea in COVID-19 is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of respiratory, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular factors. Hypoxemia is considered one of the key symptoms of COVID-19. This affects the respiratory drive, which determines the rate, depth, and pattern of breathing. The relationship between increased ventilatory neural drive and abnormal gas exchange, particularly in the context of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatches and chemosensitivity, has gained significant attention following the COVID-19 pandemic. The ACE2 receptors allow viral entry into the lungs, leading to the loss of surfactant, hypoxic vasoconstriction, and intrapulmonary shunting that may result in a V/Q mismatch. Additionally, acidosis, hypercapnia, elevated 2,3-diphosphogly-cerate levels and fever may shift the oxygen diffusion curve rightward, lowering arterial oxygen saturation levels and triggering ventilatory responses. This paper examines how physio pathological factors such as altered gas diffusion, chemosensory feedback, V/Q ratios, altered compliance, arterial blood gases, and respiratory muscle dysfunction in these patients affect ventilatory drive. A review of the published literature was also conducted to determine the mechanism of dyspnea. To ensure appropriate gas exchange, individuals need to augment their minute ventilation (VE) when physiological dead space is elevated. This serves as a compensatory mechanism to counteract the effects of compromised gas exchange and keep adequate oxygenation throughout the body. The respiratory centers may experience dysregulation due to the impact of the virus on the respiratory system, which could affect the rhythm-generating and pattern-generating signals that are vital for regulating the respiratory rate and depth of breathing effort. The cerebral cortex, in conjunction with the brain stem centers, plays a crucial role in regulating ventilation during prolonged hypoxemia. This interaction between these two components may help elucidate the conscious respiratory sensation (or dyspnea) experienced by patients. It is hypothesized that neuroventilatory decoupling acts as a mechanism to prevent sensory signals from translating into mechanical or ventilatory responses. This decoupling phenomenon is believed to have a notable impact on the intensity of breathlessness. By understanding the relationship between increased ventilatory neural drive and abnormal gas exchange, particularly in the context of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatches and altered chemosensitivity, healthcare professionals can develop strategies to optimize respiratory support for COVID-19 patients.展开更多

The radial deformation function of the fexspline (FS), obtained through Finite Element (FE) analysis, is incorporated into the kinematics model. By analyzing the FS tooth enveloping process, the optimization of the overlapping conjugate tooth profle is achieved. By utilizing the hobbing process, the three-dimensional machinable tooth surface of FS can be acquired. Utilizing the coning deformation of the FS, simulations are conducted to analyze the multi-section assembly and meshing motion of the machinable tooth surface. The FE method is utilized to analyze and compare the loaded contact characteristics. Results demonstrate that the proposed design method can achieve an internal gear pair consisting of a circular spline with a spur gear tooth surface and the FS with a machinable tooth surface. With the rated torque, approximately 24% of the FS teeth are engaged in meshing, and more than 4/5 of the tooth surface in the axial direction carries the load. The contact patterns, maximum contact pressure, and transmission error of the machinable tooth surface are 227.2%, 40.67%, and 71.24% of those on the spur gear tooth surface, respectively. It clearly demonstrates exceptional transmission performance.展开更多

This concern is particularly amplified in mixed traffic flow (MTF) environments with time pressure (TP). However, there is a lack of sufficient research exploring the relationships among these factors. This study consists of two papers that aim to investigate the impact of MTF environments with TP on the driving behaviors of bus drivers. While the first paper focuses on violated driving behaviors, this particular paper delves into mistake-prone driving behaviors (MDB). To collect data on MDB, as well as perceptions of MTF and TP, a questionnaire survey was implemented among bus drivers. Factor analyses were employed to create new measurements for validating MDB in MTF environments. The study utilized partial correlation and linear regression analyses with the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method to explore the relationships between MDB and MTF/TP. The results revealed a modified scale for MDB. Two MTF factors and two TP factors were found to be significantly associated with MDB. A high presence of motorcycles and dangerous interactions among vehicles were not found to be associated with MDB among bus drivers. However, bus drivers who perceived motorcyclists as aggressive, considered road users’ traffic habits as unsafe, and perceived bus routes’ punctuality and organization as very strict were more likely to exhibit MDB. Moreover, the results from the three MDB predictive models demonstrated a positive impact of bus route organization on MDB among bus drivers. The study also examined various relationships between the socio-demographic characteristics of bus drivers and MDB. These findings are of practical significance in developing interventions aimed at reducing MDB among bus drivers operating in MTF environments with TP.展开更多

We explore the idea that the elementary constituent is an electromagnetic configuration that interacts with the quantum field, leading to the emergence of inertia and gravity as a reaction to the exchange with the quantum field. While these two phenomena have a common origin, they are distinct. Our proposal suggests manipulating the connection between the quantum field and the particle using high-frequency electromagnetic fields, thereby making a warp drive possible.展开更多

文摘A discharge with electron temperature up to 14 keV has been achieved in EAST.Analysis of the electron cyclotron current drive(ECCD)efficiency at high electron temperature under EAST parameters is presented using C3PO/LUKE code.Simulation results show that the ECCD efficiency of X-mode increases with central electron temperature up to 10 keV and then starts to decrease above 10 keV,at a specific magnetic field and toroidal angle.The efficiency degradation is due to the presence of the third harmonic extraordinary(X3)downshifted absorption at the low field side(LFS);even the cold resonance of X3 mode is located outside the plasma.As the electron temperature increases from 5 to 20 ke V,the X3 absorption increases from 0.9%to 96.4%.The trapping electron effect at the LFS produces a reverse Ohkawa current.The competition between the Fisch–Boozer current drive and the Ohkawa current drive results in a decrease in ECCD efficiency.ECCD efficiency optimization is achieved through two methods.One is to increase the toroidal angle,leading to X2 mode predominating again over X3 mode and the electron resonance domain of X2 mode moving far from the trapped/passing boundary.The second one is to increase the magnetic field to move away the X3 resonance layer from the plasma,hence less EC power absorbed by X3 mode.

文摘Mining shovel is a crucial piece of equipment for high-efficiency production in open-pit mining and stands as one of the largest energy consumption sources in mining.However,substantial energy waste occurs during the descent of the hoisting system or the deceleration of the slewing platform.To reduce the energy loss,an innovative hydrau-lic-electric hybrid drive system is proposed,in which a hydraulic pump/motor connected with an accumulator is added to assist the electric motor to drive the hoisting system or slewing platform,recycling kinetic and potential energy.The utilization of the kinetic and potential energy reduces the energy loss and installed power of the min-ing shovel.Meanwhile,the reliability of the mining shovel pure electric drive system also can be increased.In this paper,the hydraulic-electric hybrid driving principle is introduced,a small-scale testbed is set up to verify the feasibil-ity of the system,and a co-simulation model of the proposed system is established to clarify the system operation and energy characteristics.The test and simulation results show that,by adopting the proposed system,compared with the traditional purely electric driving system,the peak power and energy consumption of the hoisting electric motor are reduced by 36.7%and 29.7%,respectively.Similarly,the slewing electric motor experiences a significant decrease in peak power by 86.9%and a reduction in energy consumption by 59.4%.The proposed system expands the application area of the hydraulic electric hybrid drive system and provides a reference for its application in over-sized and super heavy equipment.
文摘COVID-19 patients often experience dyspnea due to several factors. The underlying unique pathophysiology of dyspnea in COVID-19 is not yet fully understood, but it is believed to be related to a combination of respiratory, cardiovascular, and neuromuscular factors. Hypoxemia is considered one of the key symptoms of COVID-19. This affects the respiratory drive, which determines the rate, depth, and pattern of breathing. The relationship between increased ventilatory neural drive and abnormal gas exchange, particularly in the context of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatches and chemosensitivity, has gained significant attention following the COVID-19 pandemic. The ACE2 receptors allow viral entry into the lungs, leading to the loss of surfactant, hypoxic vasoconstriction, and intrapulmonary shunting that may result in a V/Q mismatch. Additionally, acidosis, hypercapnia, elevated 2,3-diphosphogly-cerate levels and fever may shift the oxygen diffusion curve rightward, lowering arterial oxygen saturation levels and triggering ventilatory responses. This paper examines how physio pathological factors such as altered gas diffusion, chemosensory feedback, V/Q ratios, altered compliance, arterial blood gases, and respiratory muscle dysfunction in these patients affect ventilatory drive. A review of the published literature was also conducted to determine the mechanism of dyspnea. To ensure appropriate gas exchange, individuals need to augment their minute ventilation (VE) when physiological dead space is elevated. This serves as a compensatory mechanism to counteract the effects of compromised gas exchange and keep adequate oxygenation throughout the body. The respiratory centers may experience dysregulation due to the impact of the virus on the respiratory system, which could affect the rhythm-generating and pattern-generating signals that are vital for regulating the respiratory rate and depth of breathing effort. The cerebral cortex, in conjunction with the brain stem centers, plays a crucial role in regulating ventilation during prolonged hypoxemia. This interaction between these two components may help elucidate the conscious respiratory sensation (or dyspnea) experienced by patients. It is hypothesized that neuroventilatory decoupling acts as a mechanism to prevent sensory signals from translating into mechanical or ventilatory responses. This decoupling phenomenon is believed to have a notable impact on the intensity of breathlessness. By understanding the relationship between increased ventilatory neural drive and abnormal gas exchange, particularly in the context of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatches and altered chemosensitivity, healthcare professionals can develop strategies to optimize respiratory support for COVID-19 patients.

文摘A three-dimensional conjugate tooth surface design method for Harmonic Drive with a double-circular-arc tooth profle is proposed. The radial deformation function of the fexspline (FS), obtained through Finite Element (FE) analysis, is incorporated into the kinematics model. By analyzing the FS tooth enveloping process, the optimization of the overlapping conjugate tooth profle is achieved. By utilizing the hobbing process, the three-dimensional machinable tooth surface of FS can be acquired. Utilizing the coning deformation of the FS, simulations are conducted to analyze the multi-section assembly and meshing motion of the machinable tooth surface. The FE method is utilized to analyze and compare the loaded contact characteristics. Results demonstrate that the proposed design method can achieve an internal gear pair consisting of a circular spline with a spur gear tooth surface and the FS with a machinable tooth surface. With the rated torque, approximately 24% of the FS teeth are engaged in meshing, and more than 4/5 of the tooth surface in the axial direction carries the load. The contact patterns, maximum contact pressure, and transmission error of the machinable tooth surface are 227.2%, 40.67%, and 71.24% of those on the spur gear tooth surface, respectively. It clearly demonstrates exceptional transmission performance.
文摘Bus safety is a matter of great importance in many developing countries, with driving behaviors among bus drivers identified as a primary factor contributing to accidents. This concern is particularly amplified in mixed traffic flow (MTF) environments with time pressure (TP). However, there is a lack of sufficient research exploring the relationships among these factors. This study consists of two papers that aim to investigate the impact of MTF environments with TP on the driving behaviors of bus drivers. While the first paper focuses on violated driving behaviors, this particular paper delves into mistake-prone driving behaviors (MDB). To collect data on MDB, as well as perceptions of MTF and TP, a questionnaire survey was implemented among bus drivers. Factor analyses were employed to create new measurements for validating MDB in MTF environments. The study utilized partial correlation and linear regression analyses with the Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method to explore the relationships between MDB and MTF/TP. The results revealed a modified scale for MDB. Two MTF factors and two TP factors were found to be significantly associated with MDB. A high presence of motorcycles and dangerous interactions among vehicles were not found to be associated with MDB among bus drivers. However, bus drivers who perceived motorcyclists as aggressive, considered road users’ traffic habits as unsafe, and perceived bus routes’ punctuality and organization as very strict were more likely to exhibit MDB. Moreover, the results from the three MDB predictive models demonstrated a positive impact of bus route organization on MDB among bus drivers. The study also examined various relationships between the socio-demographic characteristics of bus drivers and MDB. These findings are of practical significance in developing interventions aimed at reducing MDB among bus drivers operating in MTF environments with TP.

文摘The complex working conditions and nonlinear characteristics of the motor drive control system of industrial robots make it difficult to detect faults.In this paper,a deep learning-based observer,which combines the convolutional neural network(CNN)and the long short-term memory network(LSTM),is employed to approximate the nonlinear driving control system.CNN layers are introduced to extract dynamic features of the data,whereas LSTM layers perform time-sequential prediction of the target system.In terms of application,normal samples are fed into the observer to build an offline prediction model for the target system.The trained CNN-LSTM-based observer is then deployed along with the target system to estimate the system outputs.Online fault detection can be realized by analyzing the residuals.Finally,an application of the proposed fault detection method to a brushless DC motor drive system is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.Simulation results indicate the impressive fault detection capability of the presented method for driving control systems of industrial robots.
文摘Tong's B-type water drive method was proposed as early as the 1970s and has been widely applied in the dynamic prediction and effective evaluation of oilfield development.Through extensive applications and studies,many researchers found that the statistical constants in the formula of the Tong's B-type water drive method(also referred to as the Tong's B-type formula)are not applicable to multiple types of reservoirs,especially low-permeability ones,due to the limited range of reservoir types when the formula was conceived.Moreover,they put forward suggestions to improve the Tong's B-type formula,most of which focused on the research and calculation of the first constant in the formula.For oilfields in the development stages of high or ultra-high water cuts,it is widely accepted that different types of reservoirs have different limit water cuts.This understanding naturally makes it necessary to further modify the Tong's B-type formula.It is practically significant to establish the water drive formula and cross plot considering that the two constants in the formula vary with reservoir type.By analyzing the derivation process and conditions of the Tong's B-type formula,this study points out two key problems,i.e.,the two constants 7.5 and 1.69 in the formula are not applicable to all types of reservoir.Given this,this study establishes a function between key reservoir parameters and the first constant and another function between key reservoir parameters and recovery efficiency.Based on the established two functions and considering that different types of oil reservoir have different limit water cuts,this study develops an improved Tong's B-type formula and prepares the corresponding improved cross plot.The results of this study will improve the applicability and accuracy of Tong's B-type water drive method in predicting the trend of water cut increasing for different types of oil reservoirs.
文摘In this paper, we delve into the intrinsic nature of mass and gravity, as per the amplitude modulation interpretation of the quantum theory. We explore the idea that the elementary constituent is an electromagnetic configuration that interacts with the quantum field, leading to the emergence of inertia and gravity as a reaction to the exchange with the quantum field. While these two phenomena have a common origin, they are distinct. Our proposal suggests manipulating the connection between the quantum field and the particle using high-frequency electromagnetic fields, thereby making a warp drive possible.
