The authors' focus is the design of a tool for educational purposes and its implementation on e-learning database course. The tool presents two stages of database design. The first stage is to draw ERD graphically and validate it. The drawing is done by a learner.

This system utilizes a personal digital assistant (PDA) device to generate the correct sound pressure level (SPL) from an audiometric transducer such as an earphone. The calibrated sound intensities for an audio-logical examination can be obtained in terms of the sound pressure levels of pure-tonal sinusoidal signals in eight-banded frequency ranges (250, 500, 1 000, 2 000, 3 000, 4 000, 6 000 and 8 000 Hz), and with mapping of the input sound pressure levels by the weight coefficients that are tuned by the delta learning rule. With this scheme, the sound intensities, which evoke eight-banded sound pressure levels by 5 dB steps from a minimum of 25 dB to a maximum of 80 dB, can be generated without volume displacement. Consequently, these sound intensities can be utilized to accurately determine the hearing threshold of a subject in the ambulatory audiometric testing environment.展开更多

METHODS: Three groups were used in our study: a cell transplantation group (n = 21), transplantation control group (n = 21) and normal control group (n = 10). AHI model rabbits in the cell transplantation group were injected with 5 mL of MBMC suspension at multiple sites in the liver and the transplantation controls were injected with 5 mL D-Hanks solution. At the end of the 1st, 2nd and 4th wk, 7 rabbits were randomly selected from the cell transplantation group and trans- plantation control group for magnetic resonance diffu- sion-weighted imaging (MR-DWI) and measurement of the mean ADC values of injured livers. After MR-DWI examination, the rabbits were sacrificed and the livers subjected to pathological examination. Ten healthy rab- bits from the normal control group were used for MR- DWI examination and measurement of the mean ADC value of normal liver. RESULTS: At all time points, the liver pathological scores from the cell transplantation group were significantly lower than those in the transplantation control group (27.14± 1.46 vs 69.29± 6.16, 22.29 ± 2.29 vs 57.00± 1.53, 19.00 ± 2.31 vs 51.86 ± 6.04, P = 0.000). The mean ADC values of the cell transplantation group were significantly higher than the transplantation con- trol group ((1.07± 0.07) ×10^-3 mm2/s vs (0.69 ± 0.05) ×10^-3 mm2/s, (1.41± 0.04) ×10^-3 mm2/s vs (0.84± 0.03) ×10^-3 mm2/s, (1.68 ± 0.04) ×10^-3 mm2/s vs (0.86± 0.04) ×10^-3 mm2/s, P = 0.000). The pathological scores of the cell transplantation group and transplantation control group gradually decreased. However, their mean ADC values gradually increased to near that of the normal control. At the end of the 1st wk, the mean ADC values of the cell transplantation group and transplantation control group were significantly lower than those of the normal control group [(1.07 ± 0.07) ×10^-3 mm2/s vs (± 0.03) ×10^-3 mm2/s, (0.69± 0.05) ×10^-3 mm2/s vs (1.76 ± 0.03) ×10^-3 mm2/s, P = 0.000]. At any 2 time points, the pathological scores and the mean ADC values of the cell transplantation group were significantly different (P = 0.000). At the end of the 1st wk, the pathological scores and the mean ADC values of the transplantation control group were significantly different from those at the end of the 2nd and 4th wk (P = 0.000). However, there was no significant difference between the 2nd and 4th wk (P = 0.073 and 0.473, respectively). The coefficient of correlation between the pathological score and the mean ADC value in the cell transplantation group was -0.883 (P = 0.000) and -0.762 (P = 0.000) in the transplantation control group. CONCLUSION: Tracking the longitudinally dynamic change in the mean ADC value of the AHI liver may reflect hepatic injury reconditioning after allogeneic MBMC transplantation.展开更多

Calculation of the available PIs was performed using Child-Pugh and model for end-stage liver disease scores, BCS-specific PIs (Clichy, New Clichy and Rotterdam) for all patients, and BCS-TIPS PI only for patients who underwent TIPS. The overall one-year survival rate and the one-year shunt patency rate for TIPS were reported.RESULTSThe overall one-year survival rate was 69.6%, and the New Clichy PI revealed the best validity for its prediction at a cut-off value of 3.75, with sensitivity and specificity of 78% and 73.3%, respectively [area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.806]. The one-year survival rate post-TIPS was 89.7%, and the BCS-TIPS score demonstrated validity for its prediction at a cut-off value of 3.92 (sensitivity and specificity were 71.4% and 64.5%, respectively) (AUC = 0.715). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the New Clichy PI (P = 0.030), high serum total bilirubin (P = 0.047) and low albumin (P < 0.001) were independent factors for predicting mortality within one year. The one-year shunt patency rate in TIPS was 80.2%, and none of the PIs exhibited significant validity for its prediction.CONCLUSIONThe New Clichy score could independently predict the one-year survival in Egyptian BCS patients.展开更多

Cake vertical profile along filter medium versus filtration velocity (ranging from 3 to 7cm/s), particle concentration (ranging from 40 to 120g/m^3) and particle areal mass to filter (ranging from 0.57 to 2.86 kg/m^2), was researched by experiments and modeling. The filtration was carried through by a plane filter media (Material: Terylene felt, Thickness: 1.8mm) covered on a framework which was fixed in a filter. During filtration, the cake thickness was measured up and down by a mobile microscope and a camera controlled by a PC. The results showed that the cake vertical profile accord with a peak function. The peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W of the peak function was greatly depended on filtration velocity and particle areal mass to filter, whereas slightly on particle concentration. The relationships between the three coefficients (peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W) and filtration velocity, areal mass to filter, particle concentration were associated as equations, based on which pressure drop model was deduced. The peak function and pressure drop model were verified with experimental data.展开更多

The one-year shunt patency rate in TIPS was 80.2%, and none of the PIs exhibited significant validity for its prediction.CONCLUSIONThe New Clichy score could independently predict the one-year survival in Egyptian BCS patients.
文摘Alumina (MMAD: 32.45μm) was used to study dust cake formation in fiber filter at steady-state operation. Cake vertical profile along filter medium versus filtration velocity (ranging from 3 to 7cm/s), particle concentration (ranging from 40 to 120g/m^3) and particle areal mass to filter (ranging from 0.57 to 2.86 kg/m^2), was researched by experiments and modeling. The filtration was carried through by a plane filter media (Material: Terylene felt, Thickness: 1.8mm) covered on a framework which was fixed in a filter. During filtration, the cake thickness was measured up and down by a mobile microscope and a camera controlled by a PC. The results showed that the cake vertical profile accord with a peak function. The peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W of the peak function was greatly depended on filtration velocity and particle areal mass to filter, whereas slightly on particle concentration. The relationships between the three coefficients (peak amplitude A, center displacement xc, the shape parameters W) and filtration velocity, areal mass to filter, particle concentration were associated as equations, based on which pressure drop model was deduced. The peak function and pressure drop model were verified with experimental data.
文摘Teaching content of Higher Mathematics is systematic and rigor with a high degree of abstraction. Because different students are on the different basis and different disciplines have various requirements, mathematics is generally difficult for students. In order to improve the quality of teaching mathematics, we should make use of individualized teaching and teaching by different levels in order to achieve the best teaching results.
