Exploring the Impact of Factors Affecting the Lifespan of HIVs/AIDS Patient’s Survival: An Investigation Using Advanced Statistical Techniques

This study investigates the impact of various factors on the lifespan and diagnostic time of HIV/AIDS patients using advanced statistical techniques. The Power Chris-Jerry (PCJ) distribution is applied to model CD4 counts of patients, and the goodness-of-fit test confirms a strong fit with a p-value of 0.6196. The PCJ distribution is found to be the best fit based on information criteria (AIC and BIC) with the smallest negative log-likelihood, AIC, and BIC values. The study uses datasets from St. Luke hospital Uyo, Nigeria, containing HIV/AIDS diagnosis date, age, CD4 count, gender, and opportunistic infection dates. Multiple linear regression is employed to analyze the relationship between these variables and HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The results indicate that age, CD4 count, and opportunistic infection significantly impact the diagnostic time, while gender shows a nonsignificant relationship. The F-test confirms the model's overall significance, indicating the factors are good predictors of HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The R-squared value of approximately 72% suggests that administering antiretroviral therapy (ART) can improve diagnostic time by suppressing the virus and protecting the immune system. Cox proportional hazard modeling is used to examine the effects of predictor variables on patient survival time. Age and CD4 count are not significant factors in the hazard of HIV/AIDS diagnostic time, while opportunistic infection is a significant predictor with a decreasing effect on the hazard rate. Gender shows a strong but nonsignificant relationship with decreased risk of death. To address the violation of the assumption of proportional hazard, the study employs an assumption-free alternative, Aalen’s model. In the Aalen model, all predictor variables except age and gender are statistically significant in relation to HIV/AIDS diagnostic time. The findings provide valuable insights into the factors influencing diagnostic time and survival of HIV/AIDS patients, which can inform interventions aimed at reducing transmission and improving early diagnosis and treatment. The Power Chris-Jerry distribution proves to be a suitable fit for modeling CD4 counts, while multiple linear regression and survival analysis techniques provide insights into the relationships between predictor variables and diagnostic time. These results contribute to the understanding of HIV/AIDS patient outcomes and can guide public health interventions to enhance early detection, treatment, and care.

Residual Stresses and Micro-Hardness Testing in Evaluating the Heat Affected Zone’s Width of Ferritic Ductile Iron Arc Welds

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) in Ductile Irons (DI) is often required by foundries for practical manufacturing reasons. The mechanical properties of the welded structures are strongly dependent on their HAZ’s width. A model based on the behaviour of the ferritic matrix of high-Si DIs in order to make an approach in measuring their HAZ’s width is developed in this study. A series of thermal treatments on 3.35 and 3.75 wt% Si as-cast DIs and spot SMAWs is applied on these materials. The applied SMAWs are done on non-preheated and preheated samples (150℃ - 300℃). For welding we modify the amperage (100 - 140A). The micro-hardness Vickers changes in the ferrite of the as-cast samples and inside the HAZ of the welded ones can be attributed to the existence of residual stresses (RS) in the ferritic matrix and assist in estimating the HAZ’s width.

Parkinson’s disease and affective disorder: The temporal relationship

In relationship between the affective disorders and Parkinson’s disease (PD) it was found that comorbidity was higher than expected in the majority of the studies. Patients with PD are at increased risk of developing depression and, conversely, recent studies have shown that patients with depressive disorders have increased risk of incident PD. However, the temporal associations between the disorders are not fully elucidated. From this review it could be learned that the temporal aspects strongly suggest that a neurobiological association exists between affective disorder and PD. This is illustrated with hitherto unpublished data. Some of these issues may be investigated in case register studies, e.g. by linkage of registers of somatic and psychiatric illness, and suggestions for future research are given. For GP’s, psychiatrists, geriatricians, and neurologists these new findings will lead to a better understanding and better treatment for patients with complicated comorbid conditions. Here timing is important!

本文通过ＧＰＳ定位取样分析、Ｋｒｉｇｉｎｇ插值和ＧＩＳ处理，研究了黄淮海平原土壤盐分的空间分布，结果表明：黄淮海平原非盐渍土的面积为８０８％，轻度盐化土壤占１７０％，中度盐化占２２％，重度盐化土壤的面积仅占００４％。有７２％的土壤表层（０～１０ｃｍ）虽无盐化现象，但其２０ｃｍ以下层次土壤含盐量超过０１％；黄淮海平原盐渍化土壤目前已主要分布于沿渤海湾低平原、河北省的衡水以北和山东南四湖地区，其它地区已无大面积盐渍土分布；从宏观而论，黄淮海平原的盐渍化程度正在减轻，土壤正向脱盐方向发展，大部分地区已经脱离了土壤盐渍化的困扰。但是，在上述三地区及周边地区，土壤盐渍化的治理与次生盐渍化的防治仍是近期农业管理所必须考虑的重要因素。

SPEI指数在中国东北地区干旱研究中的适用性分析

干旱指数的区域适用性是准确表征区域干旱的重要前提,本文以中国东北地区为典型研究区,探讨标准化降水蒸散指数(SPEI)在该地区应用的有效性。基于研究区90个气象台站的逐日气象资料,计算1961—2014年多时间尺度的SPEI指数。从Kolmogorov-Smirnov(K-S)拟合优度检验、SPEI与典型干旱事件核准、SPEI与农作物受旱灾面积及与土壤湿度相关性分析等方面,验证SPEI指数在东北地区的适用性。分析结果表明:1)东北地区多时间尺度的累积水分亏缺量符合Log-logistic分布,SPEI指数在东北地区的应用具备数学统计理论基础;2)生长季平均SPEI值与黑龙江省、吉林省和辽宁省农作物受旱灾面积比例均呈极显著负相关(P<0.01);3)在1、3、6和12个月尺度下,SPEI与土壤湿度呈显著正相关(P<0.05)的站点比例分别为90.2%、92.16%、90.2%和88.24%。综上所述,SPEI指数不仅满足数学理论统计的要求,而且与干旱灾情数据和土壤水分监测值均具有极度的关联性,说明其在东北地区干旱预测和定量化研究中具有较好的适用性。

运用红外技术和高斯函数对红外谱图进行分峰拟合，研究了对ＮｉＯ在ＵＳＹ分子筛、γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３和混合载体上的对ＮＯ吸附规律，并推断出不同ＮｉＯ含量时，Ｎｉ２＋在这些载体上的分布．结果表明：位于γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３表面、ＵＳＹ分子筛ＳⅡ、ＳⅠ位和ＳⅡ位的Ｎｉ２＋离子吸附ＮＯ时，它们的吸附频率分别为１８５５～１８７５、１９００和１９０５ｃｍ－１．ＮｉＯ在γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３的体相和表面间存在分布平衡，约有７５％ＮｉＯ存在于γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３体相中．在ＵＳＹ分子筛上，Ｎｉ２＋分布于分子筛ＳⅠ位的趋势远大于ＳⅡ和ＳⅡ、ＳⅠ位．增加ＮｉＯ含量将增强这种趋势．在混合载体上，Ｎｉ２＋分布于Ａｌ２Ｏ３表面的能力大于分布于分子筛的ＳⅡ和ＳⅡ、ＳⅠ位，增加ＮｉＯ量，分布于γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３表面及ＵＳＹ分子筛ＳⅡ位的Ｎｉ２＋量显著增加，而分布于分子筛ＳⅡ。

当前说话人继续当前话轮的优先权——对Sacks等的会话话轮转换系统的修正

Sacks等提出的会话话轮转换系统忽略了下列事实,即:在话轮的第一转换关联位置,当前说话人拥有继续当前话轮的优先权。因此,本文对原话轮转换系统进行了修正,在话轮分配技巧部分,增加了当前说话人主动自我选择的技巧;在规则部分,增加了当前说话人可以主动自我选择、继续当前话轮的优先选项。本文认为,我们作为会话参与者的经验和语感,和规则中规定的当前说话人拥有的话轮分配权,证明了当前说话人的确拥有继续当前话轮的优先权;同时,说话人经常使用多种把持当前话轮的策略,这是当前说话人试图继续当前话轮的最明显证据;而且在具体日常英语和汉语会话中,当前说话人主动自我选择、继续当前话轮的现象确实具有普遍性。修正后的话轮转换系统在不损害原系统解释力的基础上,对轮番发话、重叠、话轮长度、话轮的相对分布等会话现象提供了更详细、更令人信服的解释,证明了它的优越性和全面性。

针对说话人识别系统中存在的有效语音特征提取以及噪声影响的问题,提出了一种新的语音特征提取方法——基于S变换的美尔倒谱系数(SMFCC).该方法是在传统美尔倒谱系数(MFCC)的基础上利用S变换的二维时频多分辨率特性,以及奇异值分解(SVD)方法的二维时频矩阵有效去噪性,并结合相关统计分析方法最终获得语音特征.采用TIMIT语音数据库,将所提的特征和现有特征进行对比实验.SMFCC特征的等错误率(EER)和最小检测代价(Min DCF)均小于线性预测倒谱系数(LPCC)、MFCC及其结合方法 LMFCC,比MFCC的EER和Min DCF08分别下降了3.6%与17.9%.实验结果表明所提方法能够有效去除语音信号中的噪声,提升局部分辨率.
