A vibration system with two homodromy exciters operated in different rotational speed is established to investigate whether the phenomenon of bistable phase difference intervals exists in the times-frequency vibration synchronization system. Some constructive conclusions are proposed. (1) By introducing an average angular velocity perturbation parameter and two sets of phase difference perturbation parameters and , the frequency capture criterion and the necessary criteria for realizing the times-frequency...
Many researchers have designed the dynamic models to study the vehicle-engine vibration. However, the existing mechanical models are relatively simple, and the analysis of engine vibration damage is discussed rarely. In this paper, we proposed the models of coupling dynamics and damage classification of vehicle-engine vibration. The key advantages of these proposed models are (1) the finite elements method is adopted for the rotor and casing system, and the complex structure with multirotor and multicasing...
The objective of the study was to assess the effect of diets supplemented with Ziziphus spina-christi leaf on digestive fermentation, antioxidant status, and haemato-biochemical indices of growing rabbits. Ziziphus leaves (ZLs) of Ziziphus spina-christi were collected from Sidr trees scattered throughout the city of Medina, Saudi Arabia. Three formulated diets containing 0, 10, and 20 g Ziziphus spina-christi/Kg diet as supplementation were offered ad libitum. The organic matter content of ZL was...
Based on the field theory in physics, the thesis applies model construction and other methods to apply the research on the agglomeration problem of colleges’ and universities’ innovation teams and constructs the growth field model of colleges’ and universities’ innovation teams. The conclusions show that the “growth field” of the colleges’ and universities’ innovation team is composed of two elements: “hidden growth factor” and “dominant growth factor,” which have the directional and force acting;...
Synchronous parathyroid and papillary thyroid carcinoma are extremely rare. To our knowledge, only 15 cases have been reported in the last four decades. We describe a 50-year-old female without significant past medical or family history and no previous trauma presented with left heel pain that prompted her to seek medical attention. Physical examination was notable for a painless nodule at the left thyroid lobe. Laboratory evaluation showed a serum calcium level of 14.3 mg/dL (8.6–10.3 mg/dL) and...
This paper considers the motion coordination problem of autonomous vehicles in an intersection of a traffic network. The featured challenge is the design of an intersection traffic manager, in the form of a supervisory control algorithm, that regulates the motion of the autonomous vehicles in the intersection. We cast the multivehicle coordination task as an optimization problem, with a one-dimensional search-space. A model- and optimization-based heuristic method is employed to compute the control...
This study aimed to determine the impact of land use on organic carbon (OC) pools of soils with contrasting native organic matter (OM) content. Surface (0–15 cm) soils of four land uses (cropland, orchard, grassland, and fallow) were collected from four agroecological zones (AEZs) of Bangladesh with different OM content (AEZ-7: very low, −3: low, −9: medium, and −5: high). Bulk soils were physically fractionated into particulate and mineral associated OM (POM and MOM: >53 and
The elucidation of the complexation of lapachol and its derivatives to Fe2+ cation has been done using the density functional theory (DFT). This complexation has been limited to bidentate and tridentate to Fe2+ cation. Geometry optimizations have been implemented in gas and solution phase (water, acetonitrile, chlorobenzene, benzene, and toluene) for ligands at B3LYP/6-311++G (d,p) level of theory using B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) optimized data as starting point. But, the geometrical optimizations in solution...
Interactions in microservice systems are complex due to three dimensions: numerous asynchronous interactions, the diversity of asynchronous communication, and unbounded buffers. Analyzing such complex interactions is challenging. In this paper, we propose an approach for interaction analysis using model checking techniques, which is supported by the Process Analysis Toolkit (PAT) tool. First, we use Labeled Transition Systems (LTSs) to model interaction behaviors in microservice systems as sequences...
Background. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common health condition affecting senile people and leads to severe cognitive dysfunctions. Acupuncture has been shown to be a possible alternative natural remedy for AD in some animal studies. Objective. To perform a systematic review to identify the effect of verum-acupuncture compared with sham-acupuncture on learning and memory performance among animal models of AD. Methods. Experimental animal studies of treating AD via verum- and sham- acupuncture were...
The complex systems with edge computing require a huge amount of multifeature data to extract appropriate insights for their decision making, so it is important to find a feasible feature selection method to improve the computational efficiency and save the resource consumption. In this paper, a quantum-based feature selection algorithm for the multiclassification problem, namely, QReliefF, is proposed, which can effectively reduce the complexity of algorithm and improve its computational efficiency....

The rapidly expanding body of knowledge about the roles of genomics and the immune system in cancer has enabled the development of therapies targeted to specific molecular alterations or other biologic characteristics, such as those implicated in immune suppression. However, genomics has also revealed a complicated reality about malignancies that requires a major shift in the therapy paradigm: away from tumor type-centered and toward gene-directed, histology-agnostic treatment, which is individualized...

To describe a novel surgical therapy for the treatment of medically refractory neuropathic cough, in which carefully selected subjects undergo surgical transection of the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (iSLN).
The present study aimed to elucidate opinions regarding comprehensibility of audiometry display formats among otolaryngologists in Japan, and to identify the characteristics of otolaryngologists’ cognitive processes for audiometry.
