Conclusions:Curcumin prevents peroxidative damage in both bed rest conditions.Further study is required on antioxidation actions of curcumin in space microgravity conditions.展开更多

Then, numerical modelling was established to further study the slope dynamic stability under purely microseisms and the influence of five factors, including seismic amplitude, slope height, slope angle, strata inclination and strata thickness, were considered. The experimental results show that the natural frequency of the slope decreases and damping ratio increases as the earthquake loading times increase. The dynamic strength reduction method is adopted for the stability evaluation of the bedding rock slope in numerical simulation, and the slope stability decreases with the increase of seismic amplitude, increase of slope height, reduction of strata thickness and increase of slope angle. The failure mode of a mid-dip bedding rock slope in the shaking table test is integral slipping along the bedding surface with dipping tensile cracks at the slope rear edge going through the bedding surfaces. In the numerical simulation, the long-term stability of a mid-dip bedding slope is worst under frequent microseisms and the slope is at risk of integral sliding instability, whereas the slope rock mass is more broken than shown in the shaking table test. The research results are of practical significance to better understand the formation mechanism of reservoir landslides and prevent future landslide disasters.展开更多

The th...The HCPB concept has been a European DEMO reference concept for nearly one decade. Detailed thermal-hydraulic study on the control behavior of the whole system is one of the important parts of this development. The thermal-hydraulic effect of the TBM-combined cooling circuit during a cyclic operation in ITER has been studied using the system code RELAP5. The RELAP5 is based on an one-dimensional, transient two-fluid model for the flow of a two-phase steam-water mixture that can contain noncondensable components like Helium. The RELAP5models are modified to take the cyclic operation of the circulator, heat, exchanger, bypass, valves etc in to account. A sequence of operational phases is investigated, starting from the cold state through the heating phase that brings the system to a stand-by condition, followed by typical power cycles applied in ITER. The results show that the implemented control mechanisms keep the inlet temperature to the TBM and the total mass flow rate at the required values through all phases.展开更多

The b...Considering the maternal risk for both short- and long-term disability imposed by activity restriction, it is of great concern that the antepartum symptoms of bed rest are still evident in the postpartum period. The benefits of bed-rest-exercise may alleviate or even prevent physiological distresses or deconditioning associated with activity restriction, thus, eliminating or stabilizing, factors that may augment existing complications. This is the first study to investigate the feasibility of incorporating a bed-rest exercise program in a specific hospitalized twin pregnancy case. The maternal physiological responses of heart rate, blood pressure and uterine contractions to a four week bed-rest resistance program were measured in a woman hospitalized due to complications during her twin pregnancy. A second participant (same diagnoses) was included as a control. The bed-rest-exercise reduced the degree of swelling in the lower extremities, promoted more energy during the day and a better night’s sleep. There were no significant differences in uterine contractions pre vs. post protocol and all babies were born healthy.展开更多

A novel sampling method, namely, flexible-tube coring, was adopted for the Chang'e mission to acquire drilling cores without damaging stratification information. Since the extraterrestrial environment is uncertain and different from the terrestrial environment, automated drill sampling missions are at risk of failure. The principles of drilling and coring for the lunar subsurface should be fully tested and verified on earth before launch. This paper proposes a test-bed for conducting the aforementioned experiments on earth. The test-bed comprises a rotary-percussive drilling mechanism, penetrating mechanism, drilling medium container, and signal acquisition and control system. For granular soil, coring experiments indicate that the sampling method has a high coring rate greater than 80%. For hard rock, drilling experiments indicate that the percussive frequency greatly affects the drilling efficiency. A multi-layered simulant composed of granular soil and hard rock is built to test the adaptability of drilling and coring. To tackle complex drilling media, an intelligent drilling strategy based on online recognition is proposed to improve the adaptability of the sampling drill. The primary features of this research are the proposal of a scheme for drilling and coring a test-bed for validation on earth and the execution of drilling experiments in complex media.展开更多

The angle of inclined belt on the test-bed and its running speed were adjustable. Single factor test results showed that the program of the semi-automatic garlic planter with inclined belt was feasible, and the angle of inclined belt and the test bed running speed affected the indicators. Orthogonal experiment results showed that the angle of inclined belt was the main factor affecting the test indicators. It is also found that the best angle was 30 degrees, while the most reasonable running speed was 0.75 Km/h.展开更多

They were divided into an experimental group and a control group of 30 cases each. The control group was put under routine care while the intervention group conducted lower limb muscle strengthening exercise on top of the routine care. After the intervention, the conditions of lower limbs, the psychological states and the results of pregnancy for the two groups were compared. <strong>Results: </strong>After the intervention, the scores of the experimental group in anxiety, depression and postpartum depression were lower and leg circumferences were smaller compared to the control group. The difference is statistically significant (<em>P</em> < 0.05). The experimental group had longer gestation than the control group and was able to get out of bed earlier than the control group after delivery, with statistically significant difference (<em>P</em> < 0.05). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Lower limb muscle strengthening exercises can effectively improve the physiological and psychological states of pregnant women hospitalized for prevention of miscarriage and promote their postpartum recovery.展开更多

文摘Shake table testing was performed to investigate the dynamic stability of a mid-dip bedding rock slope under frequent earthquakes. Then, numerical modelling was established to further study the slope dynamic stability under purely microseisms and the influence of five factors, including seismic amplitude, slope height, slope angle, strata inclination and strata thickness, were considered. The experimental results show that the natural frequency of the slope decreases and damping ratio increases as the earthquake loading times increase. The dynamic strength reduction method is adopted for the stability evaluation of the bedding rock slope in numerical simulation, and the slope stability decreases with the increase of seismic amplitude, increase of slope height, reduction of strata thickness and increase of slope angle. The failure mode of a mid-dip bedding rock slope in the shaking table test is integral slipping along the bedding surface with dipping tensile cracks at the slope rear edge going through the bedding surfaces. In the numerical simulation, the long-term stability of a mid-dip bedding slope is worst under frequent microseisms and the slope is at risk of integral sliding instability, whereas the slope rock mass is more broken than shown in the shaking table test. The research results are of practical significance to better understand the formation mechanism of reservoir landslides and prevent future landslide disasters.
文摘Objective:To investigate the safety of relieving bed restriction in hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy(HAIC)and its effects on patient comfort.Methods:A prospective study was conducted.Patients with malignant liver tumors,who met the enrollment criteria,were randomly divided into experimental and control groups.During HAIC treatment,the patients in the experimental group,who were not confined to bed and could get out of bed,used electronic injection pumps to infuse chemotherapy drugs.The patients in the control group,who were strictly confined to bed and prohibited from getting out of bed,used infusion pumps to infuse chemotherapy drugs.The complications of the two groups were observed.The Christenson standard improved method was used to evaluate the bleeding and hematoma of limbs on the operation side.The Kolcaba General Comfort Questionnaire(GCQ)and Barthel Index(BI)were used to evaluate the two groups.Results:Ninety patients with malignant liver tumors were enrolled,including 53 with primary liver cancer and 37 with colorectal liver metastasis.There were 70 males and 20 females,aged 41-81 years old,with an average age of 61.6±9.248 years old.There were 60 patients in the experimental group and 30 patients in the control group.All patients underwent HAIC.The study showed that,during the treatment period,there were 3 cases of postoperative puncture point hematoma formation in the two groups,including 2 cases in the experimental group(2/60,3.3%)and 1 case in the control group(1/30,3.3%).The difference was not statistically significant(p>0.05).There were 5 cases of postoperative puncture point bleeding,including 4 cases in the experimental group(4/60,6.7%)and 1 case in the control group(1/30,3.3%),and the difference was not statistically significant(p>0.05).A total of 23 cases,with 6 cases in the experimental group(6/60,10%)and 17 cases in the control group(17/30,56.7%),complained of back pain after the operation,and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.05).Twenty-one cases complained of poor defecation after the operation,including 10 cases in the experimental group(10/60,16.7%)and 11 cases in the control group(11/30,36.7%).The difference was statistically significant(p<0.05).During the period of infusion chemotherapy,the two groups of patients had there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of comfort status(GCQ)(88.78±6.705,78.47±9.519,p<0.001)and self-care ability(BI)(74.25±9.152,66.83±6.628,p<0.001).Conclusion:During HAIC treatment,getting out of bed is safe and reliable and can increase the patients’comfort and self-care ability.Hence,it merits clinical application.

文摘The long-term stability of a prestressed anchored slope might be influenced by the durability of the anchorage structure.To understand long-term stability of anchored rock slopes,the research presented herein evaluated the performance evolution of a prestressed anchored bedding slope system in a corrosive environment by model test.The corrosion process in a prestressed anchor bar was monitored in terms of its open-circuit potential(OCP),corrosion current density(CCD),and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS).The stability of the prestressed anchored slope was evaluated by monitoring changes in anchorage force and displacements.The experimental results show that prestress and oxygen could reduce the corrosion resistance of the anchor bar,and anchor bars in a chloride-rich environment are very susceptible to corrosion.Prestressed tendons in a corrosive environment suffer a loss of anchorage force,the prestress decreases rapidly after locking,and the rate thereof decreases until stabilising;in the later stage,corrosion leads to the reduction of the cross-sectional area of the steel bar which may cause the reduction in anchorage force again.Anchorage force controls the deformation and stability of the anchored slope,the prestress loss caused by later corrosion may lead to an increased rate of displacement and stability degradation of the prestressed anchored rock slope.

文摘The HCPB concept has been a European DEMO reference concept for nearly one decade. Detailed thermal-hydraulic study on the control behavior of the whole system is one of the important parts of this development. The thermal-hydraulic effect of the TBM-combined cooling circuit during a cyclic operation in ITER has been studied using the system code RELAP5. The RELAP5 is based on an one-dimensional, transient two-fluid model for the flow of a two-phase steam-water mixture that can contain noncondensable components like Helium. The RELAP5models are modified to take the cyclic operation of the circulator, heat, exchanger, bypass, valves etc in to account. A sequence of operational phases is investigated, starting from the cold state through the heating phase that brings the system to a stand-by condition, followed by typical power cycles applied in ITER. The results show that the implemented control mechanisms keep the inlet temperature to the TBM and the total mass flow rate at the required values through all phases.
文摘Considering the maternal risk for both short- and long-term disability imposed by activity restriction, it is of great concern that the antepartum symptoms of bed rest are still evident in the postpartum period. The benefits of bed-rest-exercise may alleviate or even prevent physiological distresses or deconditioning associated with activity restriction, thus, eliminating or stabilizing, factors that may augment existing complications. This is the first study to investigate the feasibility of incorporating a bed-rest exercise program in a specific hospitalized twin pregnancy case. The maternal physiological responses of heart rate, blood pressure and uterine contractions to a four week bed-rest resistance program were measured in a woman hospitalized due to complications during her twin pregnancy. A second participant (same diagnoses) was included as a control. The bed-rest-exercise reduced the degree of swelling in the lower extremities, promoted more energy during the day and a better night’s sleep. There were no significant differences in uterine contractions pre vs. post protocol and all babies were born healthy.

文摘Drill sampling has been widely employed as an effective way to acquire deep samples in extraterrestrial exploration. A novel sampling method, namely, flexible-tube coring, was adopted for the Chang'e mission to acquire drilling cores without damaging stratification information. Since the extraterrestrial environment is uncertain and different from the terrestrial environment, automated drill sampling missions are at risk of failure. The principles of drilling and coring for the lunar subsurface should be fully tested and verified on earth before launch. This paper proposes a test-bed for conducting the aforementioned experiments on earth. The test-bed comprises a rotary-percussive drilling mechanism, penetrating mechanism, drilling medium container, and signal acquisition and control system. For granular soil, coring experiments indicate that the sampling method has a high coring rate greater than 80%. For hard rock, drilling experiments indicate that the percussive frequency greatly affects the drilling efficiency. A multi-layered simulant composed of granular soil and hard rock is built to test the adaptability of drilling and coring. To tackle complex drilling media, an intelligent drilling strategy based on online recognition is proposed to improve the adaptability of the sampling drill. The primary features of this research are the proposal of a scheme for drilling and coring a test-bed for validation on earth and the execution of drilling experiments in complex media.
文摘In order to verify the feasibility of semi-automatic garlic planter with inclined belt program and determine its reasonable operating parameters, the semi-automatic test-bed with inclined belt of garlic transplanting machine was designed, and the garlic box experiments were conducted. The angle of inclined belt on the test-bed and its running speed were adjustable. Single factor test results showed that the program of the semi-automatic garlic planter with inclined belt was feasible, and the angle of inclined belt and the test bed running speed affected the indicators. Orthogonal experiment results showed that the angle of inclined belt was the main factor affecting the test indicators. It is also found that the best angle was 30 degrees, while the most reasonable running speed was 0.75 Km/h.
文摘<strong>Objective:</strong> Against a background of the two-child policy in China, the objective is to explore the effects of lower limb strengthening exercises on hospitalized pregnant women put on bed rest for prevention of miscarriage. <strong>Method:</strong> Sixty cases of pregnant women admitted to the Department of Obstetrics in one of the highest ranking hospitals in Guangzhou, China, during the period from November 2018 to December 2019 for the purpose of preventing miscarriage were selected. They were divided into an experimental group and a control group of 30 cases each. The control group was put under routine care while the intervention group conducted lower limb muscle strengthening exercise on top of the routine care. After the intervention, the conditions of lower limbs, the psychological states and the results of pregnancy for the two groups were compared. <strong>Results: </strong>After the intervention, the scores of the experimental group in anxiety, depression and postpartum depression were lower and leg circumferences were smaller compared to the control group. The difference is statistically significant (<em>P</em> < 0.05). The experimental group had longer gestation than the control group and was able to get out of bed earlier than the control group after delivery, with statistically significant difference (<em>P</em> < 0.05). <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Lower limb muscle strengthening exercises can effectively improve the physiological and psychological states of pregnant women hospitalized for prevention of miscarriage and promote their postpartum recovery.
