This study is based on the questionnaire data from the 2018 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) to analyze the association between lifestyle, psychological status, and the prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) among Chinese adults aged 60 and above. A total of 9,695 participants were included in the study. Variance analysis, binary logistic regression, negative binomial regression and random forest were employed to examine the impact of sociodemographic factors (gender, highest level of education, marital status), lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, sleep), and depression on diabetes, as well as the mediating role of depression. The results indicate that both lifestyle factors and depression have varying degrees of influence on diabetes. Additionally, the highest level of education and marital status are associated with diabetes through their effects on depression.

Energy-saving buildings have become a topical issue and widely used the energy-saving ventilation design, which aims to maximize the use of natural ventilation while reducing demand on mechanical ventilation. In this research, natural ventilation performance of two different semi-enclosed building layouts, "O" type and "L-L" type, are studied by numerical simulation. According to the simulation results, in the "O" type, the maximum indoor air velocity occurs in building A (orientation facing the inflow direction). The minimum indoor air velocity occurs in building C (orientation facing building A). In the "L-L" type, the maximum indoor air velocity occurs in building A (orientation facing the inflow direction). The minimum indoor air velocity occurs in buildings B and D (orientation parallel to the inflow direction). And air flow field simulation results show that, the "L-L" type exhibits better than the "O" type in natural ventilation. Furthermore, simulation results show that the natural ventilation performance in the room is influenced not only by the building orientation, but also by the window size.

The rapid development of new energy makes the distribution network project face higher management requirements, the traditional distribution network project mainly focuses on transmission and transformer unidirectional circulation, to today's optical storage and charging, source network and load storage, micro-grid, virtual power plant and other "multi-terminal active module" together to form a multidirectional concurrency of the new distribution network. If the distribution stage is not well coordinated, the existing distribution network may be impacted. In order to improve the management pain points, this paper first discusses the status quo and pain points of traditional distribution network project management, and then takes a self-developed new energy project management system as a typical case, which is expected to explore a management system paradigm applicable to the new integrated distribution network project, and how to integrate the old and new energy sources from the perspective of project management, which will indirectly have a positive effect on the growth of the investment benefits.

At the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed to accelerate the construction of a "digital China" by promoting digitalisation in education in order to achieve a "digitally strong nation". The training of talents in the context of the new liberal arts should be transformed from traditional humanities literacy to "digital humanities literacy". This paper takes the English Speech course as the starting point and the "Five Powers Model" as the theoretical basis to carry out teaching experiments and explore how to use the new media platforms to enhance the "digital humanities literacy" of English learners in colleges and universities, so as to improve their their "international communication power" and achieve the goal of “delivering the voice of China".

Granular geophysical flows pose a significant threat to human lives and infrastructure in mountainous regions globally. Property and victims impacted by these flows often get carried away and buried. Quickly locating the potential location of victims is critical for post-disaster recovery and rescue. However, the trajectory of object impacted by granular flows is difficult to predict because of the scale disparity between the sizes of granular particles and the object being transported. To deal with this multi-scale problem, a continuum-discrete solver, specifically the material-discrete element method (MPM-SDEM), was developed to simulate the trajectory of a cube (the object) impacted by a dry granular flow. Simulated results are used to understand the trajectory of objects under different flow and impact dynamics.

With the rapid development of social economy, the power supply capacity of the existing power grid has been far from the increasing load demand, especially the summer (winter) peak period. The problems such as heavy overload of power grid equipment and low voltage of line are extremely prominent and seriously affects the safe and stable operation of the power grid. This problem is more serious in the rural power grid. In order to increase the progress, shorten the construction cost of upgrading and transformation of the traditional power grid, a technical scheme is proposed in this paper by using electrochemical energy storage technology to solve the overload and low voltage problems of local power grid equipment, and obvious results have been achieved through pilot project.

With the development of society and economy, land subsidence in soft soil areas has become a prominent geological disaster in our country’s coastal area. Land subsidence has the characteristics of irreversibility, wide influence range, long aging, etc., and these characteristics are closely related to the characteristics of soft soil, such as physical and mechanical parameters, microstructure characteristics, etc. The Nansha District of Guangzhou was taken as the study area in this paper. Through the collection of preliminary data, two-dimensional scanning electron microscopy, and three-dimensional Computed Tomography (CT), the micro-structure characteristics of soft soil are expounded and its plugging characteristics are further analyzed. The results show that the study area’s soft soil has a honeycomb, granular, and flocculent structure. From the perspective of pore scale distribution, the number of macropores and ultramicro pores is small, and the continuity is poor. In most small and medium pores, namely the aggregate and granular pores. The siltation of soft soil is closely related to the microstructure of soil and can be treated according to the effect of siltation characteristics on the consolidation settlement of soft soil. The research results of this paper can provide targeted prevention and control suggestions for the soft land subsidence disaster in the Nansha area, and also provide a reference for other similar research.

In response to the severe energy-saving and emission-reduction situation, it is of great practical significance to reduce the fuel consumption of ships’ main engines and carbon dioxide emissions, and to realize the energy-saving and emission reduction of ships. In this study, We use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize and analyze the energy consumption of ships based on the energy consumption data of ships during navigation, and test the energy efficiency of ships through the ship energy efficiency operation index. The results of the present study show that in order to reduce the energy consumption of ships and ultimately achieve the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction, it is theoretically feasible to use particle swarm optimization algorithm to optimize the speed of ships.

Ground validation of satellite-based vegetation phenology has been challenging because ground phenology data are sparsely distributed and mostly observed from limited numbers of plant species at discrete phenophases. The recently developed PhenoCam network has measured continuous growth of vegetation canopy greenness that can be used to validate satellite-based vegetation phenology across a variety of plant functional types. In this study, we used PhenoCam green chromatic coordinate (GCC) in North America to evaluate grassland phenology derived from three types of MODIS vegetation indices: the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), enhanced vegetation index (EVI), and a per-pixel GCC (GCCpp) which was computed to describe the average vegetation color at the pixel level. The start of greenness (SOG), end of greenness (EOG), and length of greenness (LOG), and the dates for detailed seasonal dynamics for each site-year were compared. Our results indicate that MODIS VIs can be used to predict phenological metrics and seasonal dynamics in grassland greenness measured from PhenoCam GCC. More importantly, we quantified the difference between SOG, EOG, and LOG and seasonality estimated from satellite and near-surface remote sensing and discovered that GCCpp may be more suitable than NDVI and EVI at estimating dynamics in grassland greenness during senescence.

Relatively independent evaluation parameters are selected from many parameters through pedigree clustering.Learning the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and entropy weight method can determine the weight, and at the same time to understand the error of the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and entropy weight method is large, so the combination of the subjective and objective weight obtained by the two methods, using the improved entropy weight-ahp method to determine the weight. The improved weight calculation method has a clear hierarchical structure, which not only considers the influence of subjective and objective factors, but also makes full use of the weight information in the hierarchical structure. Considering the uncertainty of information, gray relation is adopted to deal with the data, so as to make maintenance rules.

Glyphosate is a typical dissolved organic phosphorus that can cause adverse effects on plants, animals, and humans. Modified shell powder/Ce-N-TiO2 was synthesized by high-temperature doping, and the prepared modified shell powder/Ce-N-TiO2 was characterized and used response surface methodology to find out the optimum condition for adsorption removal rate. The zeta characterization indicates that the doping of Ce shifts the isotropic potential of the material to the right. The FT-IR and XPS characterization indicated that glyphosate was successfully adsorbed, and the two-two interactions of pH, contact time and dosing amount had a more obvious effect on adsorption by response surface analysis. The process of glyphosate adsorption by modified shell powder/Ce-N-TiO2 was consistent with the quasi-secondary kinetic model and Langmuir model, and the maximum adsorption amount was 66.98 mg/g. The above results may be useful for the study of other systems of glyphosate wastewater treatment.

High voltage switches are indispensable in power system which will control and protect the high voltage lines. According to the research of high voltage switch equipment accident rate in the international conference on power grid for according, the high voltage switch equipment mechanical failure accidents accounted for more than 70%. Thus, it is meaningful to research the switch monitoring technology and develop an integration device with easy installation and reliable data transmission. In this paper, a new type of non-contact current sensor is used to develop the online monitoring system for the mechanical characteristics of HV switches, which will monitor and analyze the action characteristics of the opening coil, closing coil and energy storage motor.

Based on the hypothesis that pumped storage power station is available for multi-day optimization and adjustment, the paper has proposed a long-term operation optimization model of pumped-hydro power storage (PHPS) system based on approximate dynamic programming (ADP). In this multistage decision model, across the stages, value function approximation (VFA) of the reservoir energy storage was used to keep the overall optimization characteristics; during the stages, generated energy & generating periods, and electricity consumption for pumping & pumping periods are used as decision variables to conduct daily optimization operation. The paper got the approximate optimal solution through iteration solution decision variable and value function so as to avoid “curse of dimensionality” in conventional multistage decision model. According to the experiment, the ADP-based model can accurately describe the long-term operation modes of pumped storage power station, and its calculation methods are more appropriate for this kind of large-scale optimized decision problem than conventional mathematic planning methods.

Under the background of ecological civilization construction and comprehensive promotion of "green mine" construction in China, for the waste dump formed by a large amount of abandoned soil and slag in the process of mineral resource production, it is one of the important contents of mine ecological restoration to restore and reconstruct the ecology, especially the slope vegetation. Based on the origin of the dump, when rainfall or irrigation water infiltrates into the soil, the physical and mechanical properties of slope soil are changed, and the shear strength of soil is continuously reduced, which has a negative impact on the slope stability. In this paper, we take south mining of DaTang open-pit mine as an example, through field investigation and sampling, laboratory analysis and the computer software analysis method, we set up soil shear strength parameters under different soil water content and different depth of plant roots, using the Slope stability of Slope/W module, establishing the model of slope . Based on limit equilibrium theory to calculate the safety factor, it is concluded that under the condition of the bare Slope stability of Slope soil water safety threshold is 14%. The root system of slope vegetation plays an important role in slope stability, in which the effect of leguminous vegetation on slope stability is obviously better than that of gramineous vegetation. When the soil moisture of slope is 20%, the slope stability coefficient can be increased by 7%.

Taking the wind turbine tower as the research object, based on the finite element software, a simplified beam-shell hybrid element model was first established; through the simulation, the phase difference between the loose position and the unloose position was compared to verify the feasibility of the phase difference detection method; Secondly, the influence of the number of loose bolts, the position of loosening, and the magnitude of the wind force on the phase of the flange bolt connection structure and the response characteristics of the system are analyzed. The research results show that the number of loose bolts, the position of loosening, and the magnitude of the wind have certain effects on the phase difference and response characteristics of the flange. With the increase in the number of loose bolts, the connection stiffness of the bolt connection continues to decrease. The linear characteristic is enhanced; the closer the loosening is to the excitation force loading position, the greater the detected phase difference; as the wind increases, the phase of the upper flange of the tower changes, and the phase of the lower flange remains unchanged, and the wind is on the flange The disc connection strength has little effect.

In order to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the future plant landscape construction in this area.

Taking listed companies in heavy polluting industries in China from 2012 to 2018 as research samples, this paper examines the impact of corporate environmental performance on credit financing capacity. The results show that good environmental performance contributes to the improvement of corporate credit financing capacity, which is embodied in more new loans, lower loan rates, longer loan maturities, and less possibility of mortgage guarantee requirements.

As a traditional edible beverage and medicinal application for high-pressure blood treatment with no side effects, Hibiscus sabdariffa L. (HS) has high prospect to be nutraceuticals as diet additive for anti-hypertension. The anti-hypertension effect of HS has also been scientific validated recently especially in diabetic patient and post-partum mothers. In this paper, we reviewed up-to-date mechanisms found for the anti-hypertensive effect of HS extracts. Those included the inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACE) activity, diuretic effect, endothelium-derived nitric oxide-cGMP-relaxant pathway and inhibition of calcium (Ca2+)-influx into vascular smooth muscle cells, cholinergic and/or histaminergic mechanisms, reduction in the diffusion distance between capillaries and myocytes as well as new vessel formation. Phenolic acids, anthocyanins (e.g. cyanidin-3-sambubioside and delphinidin-3-sambubioside) and anthocyanin metabolites probably contribute mostly to the hypotensive activity.

Medium and long-term weather sequence forecast becomes unreliable beyond two weeks since the weather is a chaotic system. Using values of same months for electricity prediction of wind power is the usual method. This approach defaults wind power output with annual cycle law. However, the periodic pattern can be very complicated in fact with multiple time scales. This paper proposes an approach with multi-scale periodic pattern considered. The application of parametric estimation on cumulative distribution function avoids the difficulty of predicting the power curve. Meteorological condition is considered to some extent via multi-scale periodic pattern explored basing on historical energy data. This work is an exploration for medium and long-term wind power forecasting that can well adapt to existing conditions. It has better prediction accuracy than the method without multi-scale periodicity considered.

The government’s supervision of power grid enterprises will gradually focus on the transmission and distribution price, and the investment and income will be more strictly supervised.

It is the key to achieve project management objectives, and also an important measure of investment fine management and control. This paper takes historical cost data as the research object, constructs the whole process intelligent prediction and analysis model of power grid project cost, assists investment decision-making, reduces the balance rate, and improves the efficiency and efficiency of the company’s investment and lean management level.

COVID-19, also known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2), is a severe disease. It can cause different types of symptoms including shortness of breath, fever, cough, fatigue and sore throat. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk to develop more complex complications due to the infection. Until August 6th, 2020, COVID-19 has caused 700, 000 deaths across the Earth; however, the actual death number could be higher than 700,000. COVID-19’s origin is still remained unknown, but the speculation is targeted to bats or pangolins. Although COVID-19 is a disease target human’s respiratory system, based on the research and clinical cases of COVID-19, evidence shows that COVID-19 can also invade human’s central nervous system (CNS).

Precipitation hardening involves solutionising, quenching and annealing steps, the latter often at various temperatures. The phenomena observed in Al-Mg-Si alloys are very complicated and partially not well understood. During and after quenching, solute atoms diffuse through the lattice assisted by vacancies and form atom clusters that gradually grow. These act back onto vacancies, which complicates the situation. We apply positron annihilation techniques in addition to traditional hardness, resistivity and thermal measurements to clarify what happens in various stages of thermal treatment: The quenching process can be divided into a stage of vacancy loss and of precipitation. Very short artificial ageing treatments after heating at different rates show that there is a competition between vacancy losses and cluster formation as the temperature increases. The difference between natural ageing and artificial ageing can be defined based on the importance of excess vacancies. Based on such results the behaviour of “invisible” objects such as vacancies and small clusters can be better understood but some open question remain such as the kinetics of secondary ageing or the details of the negative effect of natural ageing on artificial ageing.

The influence of quench rate after solution heat treatment on the microstructure in the as-quenched state and subsequent ageing kinetics of alloy AA6014 was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy, positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and hardness measurements. Various ageing temperatures and stages were taken into consideration. Consistent with previous studies, we found that solute and vacancy supersaturation decrease during slow quenching due to precipitation and annihilation, respectively. Additionally, we observed cluster formation during cooling below 200 °C. As for the influence on ageing behaviour we observe different behaviour for high and low ageing temperature: Artificial ageing is more affected than pre-ageing and natural secondary ageing. The detrimental effect of natural ageing on paint-bake hardening also depends on the quench rate. Possible interpretations are associated with cluster formation during natural ageing and also during quenching. The influence of pre-ageing at different temperatures on subsequent ageing kinetics is similar for slower industrial-type quenching and for fast quenching, thus allowing to apply the findings from idealised quenching conditions to situations closer to real application.

The application of titanium components is generally limited by their high raw material and manufacturing costs. In this paper, a lower cost cast titanium alloy based on the Ti-Al-Fe system has been designed using an ICME approach. The new alloy Ti-6Al-5Fe-0.05B-0.05C (all wt.%) significantly reduces raw material cost and demonstrates improved castability compared with the baseline Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The fine primary and secondary α phase microstructure in the new alloy, due to Fe partitioning, provides exceptionally high strength (1023 MPa yield strength and 1136 MPa ultimate tensile strength) and reasonable ductility (3.7% elongation) for structural applications. On the manufacturing front, the high cost multi-step investment casting process currently used can now be replaced with a low-cost permanent mold casting process using steel molds and a novel ceramic coating. An experimental casting setup, including an induction skull melting (ISM) system, a gravity tilt-pour system and a ceramic-coated H13 steel mold, has been used to produce near-net-shape permanent metallic mold castings with the new titanium alloy developed. Using this setup, and aided by casting process simulation, a prototype automotive connecting rod was cast successfully. The ZrO2 ceramic coating applied to the H13 steel mold was proven effective in minimizing the metal-mold reactions.

Based on the pay-per-use charge in mobile Apps, value-added advanced traveler information systems (VATIS) service can be provided in traffic networks. From the perspective of the traffic manager, we propose a two- stage policy for improving the efficiency of traffic networks by providing VATIS service. At the first stage, the traffic manager selects several ATIS service providers, then offers seed fund to each of them to encourage VATIS service provision. At the second stage, the traffic manager announces a given target of the total market penetration of VATIS service and encourages service providers to achieve it together. If they could complete the task, compensation will be paid. To evaluate the efficiency of this policy, four scenarios are formulated by four bi-level models, and the total travel time is set as the evaluation indicator. Numerical experiments show that, the suggested policy can reduce total travel time dramatically if the market penetration target has been appropriately selected.

Electrical submersible pump (ESP) require remote operation of inverter via a long cable. The conventional control algorithm of inverter does not operate effectively. In this paper, a new power supply scheme is proposed, namely: Inverter - Motor - Generator - Transformer – Long Cable - ESP power supply program, referred to as IMGEESP power supply system. Based on the analysis of the IMGEESP, the model of the long cable was established, the functional relationship between inverter and smart power of the IMGEESP was deduced, so that the voltage model is constructed. The frequency converter and the intelligent power supply of IMGEESP are coordinated and controlled according to the speed command of the ESP and the cable length. Simulation results verifies the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed IMGEESP.

Ecological land use is an important component of ecosystem.

We solve the inverse position model of the the mechanism. The workspace of the mechanism is solved by the boundary search algorithm. The reasonable ranges of key scale parameters are obtained by investigating the influence of the parameters of the mechansm on its workspace. The above kinematic analyses and solving results can provide corresponding references for subsequent mechanism dynamics analysis and structural design.

A new walking riveting robot based on 6-SPU parallel mechanism is designed to meet the needs of high precision and high efficiency machining for large, thin-walled and complex curved surface workpieces in aviation industry and automotive industry. After modeling and solving the position inverse solution of the robot, the riveting trajectory planning is carried out, and the correct positions and orientations of riveting holes are determined. For the workpiece with large thin-walled cylindrical surface, the riveting hole process of the robot is simulated by finite element analysis software, the maximum deformations in all orientations and the maximum equivalent stresses of the moving platform corresponding to riveting points are obtained. The above results provide the necessary theoretical basis for the structure optimization and performance analyses of the automatic riveting robot.

The main tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River are not only the strategic base for China’s water resources, but also an important hydropower base for the “West-East Power Transmission Strategy”. With the completion of these reservoir groups, a large-scale mixed reservoir system across the different basins has been formed, which makes the requirements for joint optimization and scheduling of large-scale hydropower system getting higher and higher. This paper focuses on the key problems faced by the joint optimization of large-scale hydropower system in the basin. Taking the Yalong River and the middle and downstream of the Jinsha River as the research area, the hybrid optimization method is introduced herein to solve the joint optimal scheduling model. The results reveal that the power generation by joint optimal scheduling is much more than separately scheduling, and the total power generation increased by 2.84% on average. As Mid-Jinsha cascade and Yalong River cascade has a 690 million kW·h and 190 million kW·h decrease in power generation respectively, the downstream Jinsha River cascade has a power generation increase of 4.31 billion kW·h.

The importance of the natural resource and environmental factors in the development of the modern economy is becoming more important in the context of energy security and the quality of economic growth. This is also due to the fact that the state’s policy in increasing GDP has been adjusted to a qualitative social-and-economic development. In this regard, the quantitative measurement of the quantity and quality ratio of economic growth is relevant. The rise of the global economy as a whole and its individual territories is due to both a high-tech breakthrough and the development of raw materials industries – oil, gas, coal and metallurgy. Currently, to meet the needs of society in natural resources, environmental goods and services, ever-increasing costs are required for expanded reproduction of the mineral resource base and compensation for negative consequences resulting from the degradation of ecological systems and pollution of the natural environment.

In recent years, with the continuous exposure of unmanned aerial vehicles in the local battlefield, as well as the rapid development of UAV technology, UAV’s military application values, especially the advantages in the low-altitude reconnaissance have been the world’s attention. Unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is becoming very promising new equipment in technology battlefield and an important information combat front. However, most of the current UAV controlling systems only provide manually PTZ controlling functions, which is inconvenient for the user to control the sensor to monitor targets on demand. This paper propose a new UAV PTZ controlling system, which enables user to keep target in the view filed by simply selecting a position from the digital map. The proposed system is also able to do real-time target localization for any pixel of the video. Experimental results show that our system is easy for PTZ controlling and the localization error is small.

Reported here is our experience with a single or double-face new procedure using a pedicled labial flap for urethral reconstruction in patients treated for extensive urethral damage after obstetrical injury. Between January 1992 to July 1997, 56 cases of urethral damage on African female patients, with an average age of 18 years old, were treated by pedicled labial urethroplasty. This procedure was done by using a single or double-face pedicled flap obtained from the major or minor labia. The flap was then introduced as in a tunnel beneath the vaginal epithelium reaching the damaged urethra. A variety of techniques were proposed: patch for sufficient lengthening (27 cases), tubularized flap allowing complete reconstruction of the urethra (18 cases) and the double-face urethroplasty (11 cases). Good quality urine continence was obtained by using the sub urethral Martius'sling procedure. In 11 cases, we combined the treatment with a colposuspension procedure. The average follow-up was 23 months (ranging from 5 to 47 months). The global success was 82% (52 patients treated). Recovery of normal miction and absence of urinary leak was obtained in 36 cases (69%). While 7 moderate failures occurred (13%), 9 cases were considered complete failures (17%). In view of the high success rate, we consider that the one-stage procedure by the use of a single or double face pedicled labial flap is a choice treatment and highly suitable for the management of extensive urethral cervical damage after obstetrical injury.
