Role of subjective visual vertical in patients with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo as a prognostic marker after canalith repositioning maneuver

Objective:To study the potential role of subjective visual vertical(SVV)as a prognostic marker for canalith repositioning maneuver(CRM)in patients with posterior canal benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(PC-BPPV)for the Indian population.Methods:SVV was examined in 30 patients with PC-BPPV before and after canalith repositioning maneuver and after complete resolution of PC-BPPV.Study parameters included the mean of 10 angular tilt readings and direction of deviation,which were compared before and after CRM and following complete resolution of PC-BPPV.Results:The angle of SVV tilt was greater and deviated towards the affected ear before CRM in all patients,which decreased significantly shortly after CRM and continued to decrease after complete resolution of PC-BPPV(p<0.0001).Conclusions:SVV can be used to test utricular dysfunction in PC-BPPV.The angle of tilt improves in response to CRM,which may be used as a prognostic marker in patients with PC-BPPV receiving CRM.

Wear mechanism and serious wear position of casing pipe in vertical backfill drill-hole

Vertical backfill drill-hole is usually a key project in an underground mine with backfill method and can be easily damaged by impact of backfill slurry.Observation of the damaged vertical backfill drill-holes in Jinchuan Nonferrous Metal Corporation（JNMC）,Gansu Province,China,given by a digital drill-hole video camera,indicated that there usually exist serious wear zones in casing pipe in vertical backfill drill-hole（CVBH）.It was suggested that serious wear position of CVBH should be located at an interface between air and solid-liquid mixture within CVBH.Backfill slurry falls freely and impacts the wall of CVBH near the interface with great momentum and energy coming from high speed free fall of backfill slurry.The depth of serious wear position of CVBH,i.e.,free fall height of backfill slurry in CVBH,can be estimated by the height of vertical backfill drill-hole,the length of horizontal pipeline,the density of slurry and the hydraulic gradient of pipeline system.A case study indicated that the estimation equation of serious damage depth of CVBH was of enough accuracy and was helpful for daily maintenance and management of vertical backfill drill-hole.

Effect of Working Position on Vertical Motion Straightness of Open Hydrostatic Guideways in Grinding Machine

Hydrostatic guideways have various applications in precision machine tools due to their high motion accuracy. The analysis of motion straightness in hydrostatic guideways is generally ignoring the external load on the slider. A variation force also exists, caused by the different working positions, together with the dead load of the slider and that of other auxiliary devices. The effect of working position on vertical motion straightness is investigated based on the equivalent static model, considering the error averaging effort of pressured oil film in open hydrostatic guideways. Open hydrostatic guideways in LGF1000 are analyzed with this approach. The theoretical results show that the slider has maximum vertical motion straightness when the working position is closer the guiderail of Y axis. The vertical motion straightness reaches a minimum value as the working position is located at the center of the two guiderails on the Y axis. The difference between the maximum and minimum vertical motion straightness is 34.7%. The smaller vertical motion straightness is attributed to the smaller spacing of the two pads centers, along the Y direction. The experimental results show that the vertical motion straightness is 4.15 μm/1200 mm, when the working position is located in the middle of the Xbeam, and 5.08 pro/1200 mm, when the working position is approaching the Y guiderails, denoting an increase of 18.3%. The changing trends of the measured results validate the correctness of the theoretical model. The research work can be used to reveal the variation law of accuracy of the open hydrostatic guideways, under different working positions, to predict the machining precision, and provides the basis for an error compensation strategy for gantry type grinding machines.

Studies on Performance of Distributed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine under Building Turbulence

As a part of the new energy development trend,distributed power generation may fully utilize a variety of decentralized energy sources.Buildings close to the installation location,besides,may have a considerable impact on the wind turbines’operation.Using a combined vertical axis wind turbine with an S-shaped lift outer blade and-shaped drag inner blade,this paper investigates how a novel type of upstream wall interacts with the incident wind at various speeds,the influence region of the turbulent vortex,and performance variation.The results demonstrate that the building’s turbulence affects the wind’s horizontal and vertical direction,as well as its speed,in downstreamplaces.The wall’s effect on wind speed changing in the downstreamarea is thoroughly investigated.It turns out that while choosing an installation location,disturbing flow areas or low disturbing flow zones should be avoided to have the least impact on wind turbine performance.

H_∞Loop Shaping Control for Plasma Vertical Position Instability on QUEST

QUEST has a divertor configuration with a high and a negative n-index, and the problem of plasma vertical position instability control in QUEST is still under extensive study for achieving high efficiency plasma. The instability we considered is that the toroidal plasma moves either up or down in the vacuum chamber until it meets the vessel wall and is extinguished. The actively controlled coils （HCU and HCL） outside the vacuum vessel are serially connected in feedback with a measurement of the plasma vertical position to provide stabilizing control. In this work, a robust controller is employed by using the loop synthesis method, and provides robust stability over a wide range of n-index. Moreover, the gain of the robust controller is lower than that of a typical proportional derivative （PD） controller in the operational frequency range; it indicates that the robust controller needs less power consumption than the PD controller does.

Research on new beneficiation process of low-grade magnesite using vertical roller mill

We investigated whether the vertical roller mill can be efficiently used in the beneficiation of low-grade magnesite and whether it can improve upon the separation indices achieved by the ball mill.We conducted experiments involving the reverse flotation and positive flotation of low-grade magnesite to determine the optimum process parameters,and then performed closed-circuit beneficiation experiments using the vertical roller mill and ball mill.The results show that the optimum process parameters for the vertical roller mill are as follows:a grinding fineness of 81.6wt%of particles less than 0.074 mm,a dodecyl amine(DDA)dosage in magnesite reverse flotation of 100 g·t?1,and dosages of Na2CO3,(NaPO3)6,and NaOL in the positive flotation section of 1000,100,and 1000 g·t?1,respectively.Compared with the ball mill,the use of the vertical roller mill in the beneficiation of low-grade magnesite resulted in a 1.28%increase in the concentrate grade of MgO and a 5.88%increase in the recovery of MgO.The results of our causation mechanism analysis show that a higher specific surface area and greater surface roughness are the main reasons for the better flotation performance of particles ground by the vertical roller mill in the beneficiation of lowgrade magnesite.

Starting from nonhydrostatic anelastic equations a comparative investigation is performed of inertial-gravitational wave hundreds, tens and a few of kilometers in horizontal wavelength, which are ex amined on vertical grids available at present from the perspectives of frequency, vertical component of group velocity and the inappropriate range for a positive vertical component emerging, with the findings compared to analytical solutions. Evidence suggests that grids C’P and LZ are suitable for the study of the wave at the mentioned horizontal scales and the counterparts L and LY (LTS and CPTS) are applicable on ly to the horizontal scales of more (less) than lens of kilometers.

Tests of relative vertical offsets for several types of GPS receiver antenna phase centers

The correction for antenna phase center is considered in processing Global Positioning System （GPS） data collected from a network of GPS ultra-short baselines. Compared with the leveling measurements, the GPS results show that the relative vertical offsets for the pairs of GPS receiver antenna phase centers still exist, although absolute calibration of the antenna phase center variations （PCVs） has been considered. With respect to the TPS CR.G3 antenna, the relative vertical offset for the LEI AT504 antenna is 8.4 mm, the offset for the ASH701945C_M antenna is 5.5 mm, and those for the ASHY00936E_C and ASH701945B_M antennas are approximately between 2 mm and -3 mm. The relative offsets for the same type of antennas are approximately 1 mm. By correcting the absolute PCVs, the existing relative offset becomes negligible for horizontal positioning.

Co-variation of the surface wind speed and the sea surface temperature over mesoscale eddies in the Gulf Stream region:momentum vertical mixing aspect

The co-variation of surface wind speed and sea surface temperature (SST) over the Gulf Stream frontal region is investigated using high-resolution satellite measurements and atmospheric reanalysis data. Results show that the pattern of positive SST-surface wind speed correlations is anchored by strong SST gradient and marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) height front, with active warm and cold-ocean eddies around. The MABL has an obvious transitional structure along the strong SST front, with greater (lesser) heights over the north (south) side. The significant positive SST-surface wind-speed perturbation correlations are mostly found over both strong warm and cold eddies. The surface wind speed increases (decreases) about 0.32 (0.41) m/s and the MABL elevates (drops) approximate 55 (54) m per 1℃ of SST perturbation induced by warm (cold) eddies. The response of the surface wind speed to SST perturbations over the mesoscale eddies is mainly attributed to the momentum vertical mixing in the MABL, which is confirmed by the linear relationships between the downwind (crosswind) SST gradient and wind divergence (curl).

错[牙合]畸形患者髁突位置及正畸治疗前后髁突位置变化的CBCT评估

口颌系统的功能健康、稳定是口腔正畸治疗的基本目标之一。健康人群的下颌处于牙尖交错位(in-tercuspal position,ICP)时髁突位置基本位于关节窝的中央,颞下颌关节功能稳定。错[牙合]畸形患者由于正畸牙齿移动及咬合改变,可能发生颞下颌关节的相关改建,特别是髁突位置的改变。传统的髁突位置的评估方法是通过架来转移下颌位置,然后在髁突位置测量仪上进行测量,但此方法得到的髁突位置变化缺乏一致性。近年来,锥形束CT(cone beam computed tomography,CBCT)成为正畸治疗检查的首选,CBCT可精准地测量关节间隙,确定髁突位置的改变。本文对髁突位置的CBCT评估及正畸治疗前后的错[牙合]畸形髁突位置变化的研究进行综述。文献复习结果表明,不同错[牙合]畸形患者的髁突位置存在差异,正畸治疗前后髁突位置也可能发生变化,使用CBCT可以较低的辐射剂量和更高的精确度评价错[牙合]畸形的髁突位置,有助于进一步研究错畸[牙合]形患者髁突位置变化的机制,并为患者治疗提供更准确、个性化的指导。

基于推进器偏置的半潜式平台动力定位模型试验研究

半潜式平台在进行动力定位作业时,由于其水线面面积较小而初稳性高较低,其垂向运动(横摇、纵摇、垂荡)易受到推进器法向力作用的影响。基于此,提出一种基于推进器偏置的推力分配模式,旨在合理利用推进器的法向力抑制平台垂向运动,而不影响平台水平面定位功能。在海洋工程水池开展半潜式平台的动力定位模型试验,对比和分析不同载荷工况及推进器偏置模式下平台的六自由度运动响应。结果表明,推进器偏置策略能够基本保证水平面定位精度,并显著减小平台垂向运动在其固有频率附近的响应幅值,在该试验工况下,功率谱密度(PSD)峰值减小高达54.7%,对波频区间的运动影响则较小。该研究结果可为半潜平台垂向运动抑制提供新思路。
