The results show that gas dilatation energy is the uppermost energy source causing outburst occurrence. Furthermore, the mathematical model of spherical flow field gas dilatation energy release was established and MATLAB software was applied to make a numerical calculation analysis on the law of gas dilatation energy release. The results indicate that the gas dilatation energy is closely related to gas parameters and its energy index does reflect the possibility of coal seam outburst.展开更多

The aim of this study was to evaluate the vessel healings after implantation of drug elming stems （DES） with biodegradable or durable polymer or of bare-metal stems （BMS） in patients with ache STEMI. Methods This study included 50 patients, who underwem follow up angiogram and optical coherence tomography （OCT） assessment about one year after percutaneous coronary intervemion （PCI） for STEMI. According to the initial stems types, these patients were classified to durable （n = 19） or biodegradable polymer sirolimus-eluting stems （n = 15）, or BMS （n = 16） groups. The conditions of stem struts coverage and malapposi- tion were analyzed with OCT technique. Results A total of 9003 struts were analyzed： 3299, 3202 and 2502 from durable or biodegradable polymer DES, or BMS, respectively. Strut coverage rate （89.0%, 94.9% and 99.3%, respectively）, malapposition presence （1.7%, 0.03% and 0 of struts, respectively） and average intimal thickness over struts （76 ± 12 μm, 161 ± 30 μm and 292 ± 29 μm, respectively） were significantly differem among different stent groups （all P 〈 0.001）. Conclusions Vessel healing status in STEMI patients is superior after implantation of biodegradable polymer DES than durable polymer DES, while both are inferior to BMS.展开更多

At the histological level, liver cancer includes two major types： hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC, about 80%） and cholangiocarcinoma （CCA, about 15%）. Many etiological factors contribute to HCC development, such as hepatitis B virus （HBV）, hepatitis C virus （HCV）, aflatoxin B1 （AFB1）, alcohol, and metabolic diseases3. By contrast, the major risk factors for CCA are liver flukes （Opisthorchis viverrini and Clonorchis sinensis） and primary sclerosing cholangitis4,展开更多

Classical GSA has been improved in this paper based on the communication and memory characteristics of particle swarm optimization(PSO). IGSA technique is incorporated into the multi-robot system in a dynamic framework, which will provide robust performance, self-deterministic cooperation, and coping with an inhospitable environment. The robots in the team make independent decisions, coordinate, and cooperate with each other to accomplish a common goal using the developed IGSA. A path planning scheme has been developed using IGSA to optimally obtain the succeeding positions of the robots from the existing position in the proposed environment. Finally, the analytical and experimental results of the multi-robot path planning were compared with those obtained by IGSA, GSA and differential evolution(DE) in a similar environment. The simulation and the Khepera environment result show outperforms of IGSA as compared to GSA and DE with respect to the average total trajectory path deviation, average uncovered trajectory target distance and energy optimization in terms of rotation.展开更多
