Besides implementing a dynamic priority to MSNs by weighing the size of its service clients for better efficiency, QCost-Balanced tradeoffs these two metrics by a unified tradeoff metric based on quantitative analysis. Simulation experiments demonstrate that the scheme achieves a better tradeoff gain in both two metrics, and effective performance in metric quantitative control.展开更多

The present study used instruments to control needle depth, lifting and thrusting frequency, and the duration of acupuncture. Effects of the quantified acupuncture were observed at Neiguan (PC6) with different stimulation parameters. A frequency of 1, 2, or 3 Hz and duration of 5, 60, or 180 seconds were used to observe cerebral blood flow and ratio of infarct volume recovery. Results showed that stimulation at Neiguan with a frequency of 1 Hz and long duration of 180 seconds or 2/3 Hz and long duration of 5/60 seconds significantly increased cerebral blood flow and decreased the ratio of infarct volume. In- teractions between frequency and duration play a critical role in quantified acupuncture therapy.展开更多

They are geometric OWA operator weights, equidifferent OWA operator weights and the modified RIM quantifier OWA weights. Compared with most of the common OWA methods for generating weights, the methods proposed in this paper are more intuitive and efficient in computation. And as there are more than one solution in most cases, the decision maker can set some initial condition and chooses the appropriate solution in the real decision process, which increases the flexibility of decision making to some extent. All these three OWA methods for generating weights are illustrated by numerical examples.展开更多

In the modern science and technology rapid development situation, study of ethics of science and technology is relatively backward. The times call for advanced and reasonable ethics of science-technology. Basic concepts and characteristics of ethics and morals are distinguished and defined in this paper. Three ethic essences of science-technology are abstracted from scientific-technological generation, application, and development. The three-dimension system of basic principles for scientific-technologic ethics is created, as illustrated by the portions given in this paper. The evolution formula of value system is derived, and used for appraising whether the science-technology activity is in all reason. Furthermore, it provides the theory base for quantified management.

It is a complex form of self-management through self-monitoring and self-tracking practices, which combines the use of wearable computers for measuring psycho-physical performances through specific apps for the processing, selecting and describing of the data collected, possibly in combination with video recordings. Given that lifelogging is becoming increasingly widespread in technologically advanced societies and that practices related to it are becoming part of most people's everyday lives, it is more important than ever to gain an understanding of the phenomenon. In this paper, I am interested in particular in exploring the issue of the transformations in the perception, comprehension, and construction of self, and hence in subjectification practices, deriving from the new digital technologies, and especially lifelogging.展开更多

Methods Quantifies of whole B lymphocytes and CD5^+ B lymphocytes as well as the expressions of Fas and Bcl-2 in B lymphocytes in 35 patients with untreated IRP, 15 IRP patients in complete remission (CR), and 10 normal controls were assayed by flow cytometry. The percentages of B lymphocyte and CD5^+ B lymphocyte were significantly higher in untreated IRP patients than in CR IRP patients and normal controls ( P 〈 0. 05 ), and there was no significant difference between the latter two groups ( P 〉 0. 05 ). There was no significant difference of Fas expression in B lymphocyte among three groups ( P 〉 0. 05). The expression of Bcl-2 in B lymphocyte was significantly higher in untreated patients than in CR patients or normal controls ( P 〈 0. 01 ), and significantly higher in CR patients than in normal controls ( P 〈 0. 01 ). The apoptosis. related index was significantly lower in untreated patients than in CR patients or normal controls ( P 〈 0. 05 ), and signif. icantly lower in CR patients than in normal controls ( P 〈 0. 05 ). The percentage of B lymphocyte was positively correlated with post-treated response time ( r = 0. 53, P 〈 0. 01 ). Conclusion The production of auto-antibodies in IRP patients probably has some relationship with the abnormal quantifies of B lymphocyte and its subpopulations as well as with the inhibition of B lymphocyte apoptosis.展开更多

It is possible to design a simpler scanning procedure of investigation of bronchogenic adenocarcinoma angiogenesis.展开更多

The correlation between the quantifiable parameters of blood flow pattern derived with dynamic CT in malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and tumor size were assessed by means of linear regression analysis. Results: No significant correlations were found between the tumor size and each of the peak height (PHSPN) (35.79±10.76 Hu), ratio of peak height of the SPN to that of the aorta (SPN-to-A ratio), (14.27%±4.37) and blood flow (BF) (30.18 mL/min/100 g±9.58) (r=0.180, P=0.142〉0.05; r=0.205, P=0.093〉0.05; r=0.008, P=0.947〉0.05).

Conclusion The production of auto-antibodies in IRP patients probably has some relationship with the abnormal quantifies of B lymphocyte and its subpopulations as well as with the inhibition of B lymphocyte apoptosis.
文摘In the design of geotechnical infrastructure,engineers have to deal with naturally occurring soils and rocks which are subjected to spatial variability as well as other uncertainties such as errors in measurement and in modeling methods.Reliability assessment which provides a systematic approach for quantifying the risk of failure has been shown to be a promising tool for solving these challenging geotechnical engineering problems.The method provides a more consistent measure of the level of safety or“structural reliability”through the evaluation of a reliability index and the associated“failure”probability,and is a method that satisfies the need to clearly convey safety issues to the public and regulatory authorities.Various methods for calculating the reliability of geotechnical infrastructures with regard to the assessment of the ultimate and serviceability limit states have been proposed by many researchers and these approaches include:the direct Monte Carlo Simulation,Bayesian and other sampling techniques,the first-order reliability method and the second-order reliability method,the random field method,the response surface method and other surrogate models with the related probabilistic procedures.In this special issue of Geoscience Frontiers,we assemble eleven invited papers which provide insights on the latest developments and challenges in applying probabilistic and reliability methods to geotechnical infrastructure design.
文摘Objective:To evaluate the correlation of the quantifiable parameters of blood flow pattern derived with dynamic CT in solitary bronchogenic adenocarcinoma(SBA).Methods:46 patients with solitary bronchogenic adenocarcinomas (SBA)(diameter≤4 cm)underwent multi-location dynamic contrast material-enhanced(nonionic contrast material was administrated via the antecubital vein at a rate of 4 mL/s by using an autoinjector 90 mL,4×5 mm or 4×2.5 mm scanning mode with stable table were performed)serial CT.Precontrast and postcontrast attenuation on every scan was recorded.Perfusion (PBA),peak height(PHBA),ratio of peak height of the SPN to that of the aorta(BA-to-A ratio)and mean transit time(MTT)were calculated.The correlation between peak height of the aorta(PHA)and parameters of the SBA(PHBA,BA-to-A ratio,PBA,and MTT)and those among parameters of the SBA were assessed by means of linear regression analysis.Regression equation among parameters of the SBA were obtain by means of stepwise regression.Results:The correlation between the SBA peak height(PHBA,36.78 HU±12.02)and the aortic peak height(PHA)was significant(r=0.506,P<0.0001).No significant cor- relation was found between the BA-to-Apeak height ratio(15.33%±4.55)and the aortic peak height(r=0.130,P=0.388> 0.05)as it was between the SBA perfusion(PBA,31.86 mL/min/100 g±9.74)and the aortic peak height(r=0.049,P=0.749 >0.05).The SBA perfusion correlated with the PHBA and the BA-to-A peak height ratio(r=0.394,P=0.007<0.05;r=0.407, P=0.005<0.05).The PHBA correlated positively with the BA-to-A peak height ratio(r=0.781,P<0.0001).Mean transit time was 14.84 s±5.52.PBA=18.500+0.872×BA-to-A ratio.BA-to-A ratio=4.467+0.295×PHBA.Conclusion:The linear correlation between the SBA perfusion and BA-to-Aratio and that between BA-to-Aratio and PHBA can be expressed by equation. It is possible to design a simpler scanning procedure of investigation of bronchogenic adenocarcinoma angiogenesis.
文摘Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the quantifiable parameters of blood flow pattern derived with dynamic CT in malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and tumor size. Methods: Sixty-eight patients with malignant solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) (diameter 〈4 cm) underwent multi-location dynamic contrast material-enhanced (nonionic contrast material was administrated via the antecubitai vein at a rate of 4mL/s by using an autoinjector, 4×5 mm or 4×2.5 mm scanning mode with stable table were performed). Precontrast and postcontrast attenuation on every scan was recorded. Blood flow (BF), peak, height (PHSPN), ratio of peak height of the SPN to that of the aorta (SPN-to-A ratio) and mean transit time (MTT) were calculated. The correlation between the quantifiable parameters of blood flow pattern derived with dynamic CT in malignant solitary pulmonary nodules and tumor size were assessed by means of linear regression analysis. Results: No significant correlations were found between the tumor size and each of the peak height (PHSPN) (35.79±10.76 Hu), ratio of peak height of the SPN to that of the aorta (SPN-to-A ratio), (14.27%±4.37) and blood flow (BF) (30.18 mL/min/100 g±9.58) (r=0.180, P=0.142〉0.05; r=0.205, P=0.093〉0.05; r=0.008, P=0.947〉0.05). Conclusion: No significant correlations were found between the tumor size and each of the quantifiable parameters of blood flow pattern derived with dynamic CT in malignant solitary pulmonary nodules.
