The RL is used to minimize average delay of arterial vehicles by training the interaction ability between agents and exterior environments. The Robertson platoon dispersion model is embedded in the RL algorithm to precisely predict platoon movements on arteries and then the reward function is developed based on the dispersion model and delay equations cited by HCM2000. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated in a Matlab environment and comparisons between the algorithm and the conventional coordination algorithm are conducted in three different traffic load scenarios. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithm in all the scenarios. Moreover, with the increase in saturation degree, the performance is improved more significantly. The results verify the feasibility and efficiency of the established algorithm.展开更多

Methods Group I was composed of 30 cases, they were all treated with class Ⅰ agents. The drugs used include: mexiletine (8 cases), moricizine (9), propafenone (12) and apridine (1). GrouP Ⅱ was composed of other 30 patients, and were all treated with amiodarone. The ddlerences of QT intervals between ECG leads (QTd and QTcd) were measured belore and aler medication. Results Before medication, the QTmax and QTcmax in group Ⅱ were signilicantly longer than those of group Ⅰ, resulting in greater QTd and QTcd in grouP Ⅱ (QTd:66± 14ms vs 31± 16ms, P<0.01; QTcd:71±36ms vs 44± 18ms, P<0.01). Alter medication, QTmax and QTcmax of group Ⅰ were prolonged, leading to the lengthening of QTd (from 31±16ms to 45±17ms, P<0.01) and QTcd (from 44± 18 ms to 58± 21ms, P<0.05), indicating the increase of inhomogeneity of myocardial repolarization after the treatment of class Ⅰ agents. Alter amiodarone treatment, QTmin and QTmax in grouP Ⅱ were both prolonged, with a greater amplitude of QTmin prolongation, resulting in decreased QTd and QTcd in group Ⅱ (QTd /rom 66± 14ms to 36±22ms, P<0.01, QTcd from 71±36ms to 45±27ms, P<0.01). The signifcant dofference of QTd and QTcd between two groups disappeared aler medication. Conclusion The results of the present study may relect the opposite effects of amiodarone and these class Ⅰ agents on myocardial repolarization.展开更多

Crosslinked copolymeric microspheres were prepared directly by the one-step method of dispersion copolymerization. The effects of the content of polyethylene glycol 200-dimethacrylae on the particle morphology and the copolymerization rate were investigated. It shows that the crosslinking agent plays an important role in the particle morphology and the system stability. When the content of crosslinking reached 2.5wt%, the floriated particles were obtained.展开更多

The results of experiments show that the new nano-dispersing agent should be used in combination with organic auxiliary agent which significantly increases the suspension effect of alcohol-based coatings. By the methods, the suspension rates of 99%, 98%, 96% and 94% can be achieved at 2h, 2h, 48h and 72h, respectively. These alcohol-based coatings have characters of higher strength, lower gas evolution, better brush ability and no blister after ignition.展开更多

The results show that：（ 1） with PBR or PFR40,the castables with0. 4 mass% WS own better performance than those with0. 2 mass% FS or 1 mass% AD;（ 2） compared with the castables with CL-CT composite powder, the castables with PFR40-AC34 B5 composite powder have slightly higher flow value; with the decreasing ratio of PFR40 and AC34 B5,or the decreasing ratio of CL andCT,the castables have declined flow value and the dried castable specimens have decreased density but the mildly changed strength; in consideration of the high price of reactive alumina,a proper compositing ratio shall be selected.展开更多
