A New Car Following Model:Comprehensive Optimal Velocity Model

In this paper, we present a new ear-following model, i.e. comprehensive optimal velocity model （COVM）, whose optimal velocity function not only depends on the following distance of the preceding vehicle, but also depends on the velocity difference with preceding vehicle. Simulation results show that COVM is an improvement over the previous ones theoretically. Then, the stability condition of the model is obtained by the linear stability analysis, which has shown that the model could obtain a bigger stable region than previous models in the phase diagram. Through the nonlinear analysis, the Burgers, Korteweg-de Vries （KdV） and modified KdV （mKdV） equations are derived for the triangular shock wave, the soliton wave, and the kink-antikink soliton wave. At the same time, numerical simulations are also carried out to show that the model could simulate these density waves.

Developments and prospects of microseismic monitoring technology in underground metal mines in China

Microseismic monitoring technology has become an important technique to assess stability of rock mass in metal mines.Due to the special characteristics of underground metal mines in China,including the high tectonic stress,irregular shape and existence of ore body,and complex mining methods,the application of microseismic technology is more diverse in China compared to other countries,and is more challenging than in other underground structures such as tunnels,hydropower stations and coal mines.Apart from assessing rock mass stability and ground pressure hazards induced by mining process,blasting,water inrush and large scale goaf,microseismic technology is also used to monitor illegal mining,and track personnel location during rescue work.Moreover,microseismic data have been used to optimize mining parameters in some metal mines.The technology is increasingly used to investigate cracking mechanism in the design of rock mass supports.In this paper,the application,research development and related achievements of microseismic technology in underground metal mines in China are summarized.By considering underground mines from the perspective of informatization,automation and intelligentization,future studies should focus on intelligent microseismic data processing method,e.g.,signal identification of microseismic and precise location algorithm,and on the research and development of microseismic equipment.In addition,integrated monitoring and collaborative analysis for rock mass response caused by mining disturbance will have good prospects for future development.

Identification of patients at-risk for Lynch syndrome in a hospital-based colorectal surgery clinic

AIM:To determine the prevalence of a family history suggestive of Lynch syndrome (LS) among patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) followed in a coloproctology outpatient clinic in Southern Brazil.METHODS:A consecutive sample of patients with CRC were interviewed regarding personal and family histories of cancer.Clinical data and pathology features of the tumor were obtained from chart review.RESULTS:Of the 212 CRC patients recruited,61 (29%) reported a family history of CRC,45 (21.2%) were diagnosed under age 50 years and 11 (5.2%) had more than one primary CRC.Family histories consistent with Amsterdam and revised Bethesda criteria for LS were identified in 22 (10.4%) and 100 (47.2%) patients,respectively.Twenty percent of the colorectal tumors had features of the high microsatellite instability phenotype,which was associated with younger age at CRC diagnosis and with Bethesda criteria (P < 0.001).Only 5.3% of the patients above age 50 years had been previously submitted for CRC screening and only 4% of patients with suspected LS were referred for genetic risk assessment.CONCLUSION:A significant proportion of patients with CRC were at high risk for LS.Education and training of health care professionals are essential to ensure proper management.

Synchronization criteria based on a general complex dynamical network model

Many complex dynamical networks display synchronization phenomena. We introduce a general complex dynamical network model. The model is equivalent to a simple vector model of adopting the Kronecker product. Some synchronization criteria,including time-variant networks and time-varying networks,are deduced based on Lyapunov's stability theory,and they are proven on the condition of obtaining a certain synchronous solution of an isolated cell. In particular,the inner-coupling matrix directly determines the synchronization of the time-invariant network; while for a time-varying periodic dynamical network,the asymptotic stability of a synchronous solution is determined by a constant matrix which is related to the fundamental solution matrices of the linearization system. Finally,illustrative examples are given to validate the results.

Clinical characteristics of acute ischemic syndrome in China

OBJECTIVE: To analyse the characteristics and therapies of patients with acute ischemic syndrome in China. METHODS: This study is part of the international multicentre registry for acute ischemic syndrome. Since April 1999, the data of patients admitted to designated hospitals with acute ischemic cardiac chest pain were collected by filling in Case Report Forms offered by the Canadian Cardiovascular Collaboration. The main clinica l characteristics and in hospital events of the patients were recorded. RESULTS: Fifteen hundred and nine cases of acute ischemic syndrome from 34 hospitals nationwide were enrolled in the registry (including unstable angina and non Q-wave myocardial infarction).The mean age of the patients was 62.3. Male dominance (62.2%) was noted. The percentages of patients with chest pain at presentation and abnormal ECG were 47.8% and 89.5%, respectively. The most common clinical diagnosis on admission was unstable angina, accounting for 91.3% of the patients and non Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI), accounting for the other 8.7%. During hospitalization, the following interventions were given: thrombolytic therapy in 50 cases (3.3%), coronary angiography in 528 cases (35.0%), percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in 253 cases (16.8%) and coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) in 62 cases (4.1%). Nitrate (oral or patch ) and anti-platelet therapy were used in 1460 cases (96.8%) and 1441 cases (95.5%), respectively. The incidence of in hospital major events was 18.8%, in cluding 18 deaths (1.2%), with the most common causes being severe arrhythmias and sudden death. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with acute ischemic syndrome in China have mostly been diagnosed as cases of unstable angina. A relatively high PTCA rate but low CABG rate was noted in China. The most common cause of in hospital death is severe arrhythmias or sudden death.

Investigation of a landslide in the new site of Badong County by integrated geophysical survey

An integrated geophysical survey which combines vertical seismicprofile method, shallow reflection seismic method, electric sounding, soil temperature measurement and radioactive gas measurement was used to investigate Zhaoshuling landslide in the new site of Badong County and to assess the stability of the landslide. By rational use of these methods together with borehole geological profile and other geological information, the spatial distribution of the landslide body, the formations and structures within and without the landslide body were determined and the stability of the landslide was also assessed, thus making great contribution to the successful and rational investigation and assessment of the landslide.
