Numerical investigation on jet-enhancement effect and interaction of out-of-phase cavitation bubbles excited by thermal nucleation.

Understanding the formation and interactions of out-of-phase cavitation bubbles is crucial for comprehensively exploring cavitation processes in both nature and engineering applications. In this study, a numerical model for the interaction of out-of-phase cavitation bubbles is developed using the hybrid thermal lattice Boltzmann method, where cavitation bubbles are solely excited by thermal nucleation. Furthermore, a new temperature distribution function for thermal nucleation is proposed, enabling a more stable generation of cavitation bubbles.

The results showed that： ① The annual averaged concentrations of PM in Suzhou decreased steadily during the study period, and the annual average concentration from 2020 to 2022 reached the national second-level standard limit.

Life cycle assessment of plastic waste in Suzhou, China: Management strategies toward sustainable express delivery.

The explosive growth of China's express delivery industry has greatly increased plastic waste, with low-value plastics not effectively utilized, such as PE packaging bags, which are often not recycled and end up in landfills or incinerators, causing significant resource waste and severe plastic pollution. A gate -to- grave life cycle assessment was adopted to assess the impacts of express delivery plastic waste (EDPW) management models (S1, landfill; S2, incineration; S3, mechanical pelletization), with Suzhou, China as a case. Results showed that mechanical pelletization, was the most environmentally advantageous, exhibiting a comprehensive environmental impact potential of -215.

Rapid nanomolar detection of Δ-tetrahydrocannabinol in biofluids via electrochemical aptamer-based biosensor.

Background: The fabrication of sensors capable of achieving rapid, sensitive, and highly selective detection of target molecules in complex fluids is key to realizing their real-world applications. For example, there is an urgent need in drugged driving roadside screening scenarios to develop a method that can be used for rapid drug detection and that avoids interference from the matrix in the sample. How to minimize the interference of complex matrices in biofluids at the electrode interface is the key to improve the sensitivity of the sensor.

Efficacy and safety of voriconazole in the treatment of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with liver failure: study protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Background: Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a common clinical type of liver failure, and patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure are prone to fungal infections, especially the increasing incidence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). Voriconazole is recommended as the first-line antifungal agent in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis; however, no recommendation has been given for patients with severe liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh C) and liver failure. This trial aims to examine the therapeutic effects and safety of voriconazole in the treatment of IPA in patients with liver failure.

"Adjacent Bed Effect" of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients During the Perioperative Period.

Background: Knee osteoarthropathy is one of the most common degenerative joint diseases in the elderly, total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most commonly used treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthropathy. Negative emotions such as anxiety have been extensively documented in knee osteoarthropathy patients.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the Emotional Contagion during hospitalization in patients undergoing TKA.

Research hotspots and frontiers of post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation: a bibliometric study and visualization analysis.

Background: Aphasia is a common complication of stroke and is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the comprehensive management of post-stroke aphasia and its consequences. However, bibliometric analysis in the field of post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation is still lacking.

A Novel Two-Axis Differential Resonant Accelerometer Based on Graphene with Transmission Beams.

In this paper, a novel two-axis differential resonant accelerometer based on graphene with transmission beams is presented. This accelerometer can not only reduce the cross sensitivity, but also overcome the influence of gravity, realizing fast and accurate measurement of the direction and magnitude of acceleration on the horizontal plane. The simulation results show that the critical buckling acceleration is 460 g, the linear range is 0-89 g, while the differential sensitivity is 50,919 Hz/g, which is generally higher than that of the resonant accelerometer reported previously.

A Modified Surgical Model of Hind Limb Ischemia in ApoE-/- Mice using a Miniature Incision.

The purpose of this study is to introduce and evaluate a modified surgical approach to induce acute ischemia in mice that can be implemented in most animal laboratories. Contrary to the conventional approach for double ligation of the femoral artery (DLFA), a smaller incision on the right inguinal region was made to expose the proximal femoral artery (FA) to perform DLFA. Then, using a 7-0 suture, the incision was dragged to the knee region to expose the distal FA.

An Analysis of the Attitude Estimation Errors Caused by the Deflections of Vertical in the Integration of Rotational INS and GNSS.

This paper investigates the attitude estimation errors caused by the deflections of vertical (DOV) in the case of a rotational inertial navigation system (INS) integrated with a global satellite navigation system (GNSS). It has been proved theoretically and experimentally that the DOV can introduce a tilt error to the INS/GNSS integration, whereas less attention has been given to its effect to the heading estimation. In fact, due to the intercoupling characteristic of attitude errors, the heading estimation of an INS/GNSS integrated navigation system can also be affected.

Attitude-correlated frames approach for a star sensor to improve attitude accuracy under highly dynamic conditions.

The attitude accuracy of a star sensor decreases rapidly when star images become motion-blurred under dynamic conditions. Existing techniques concentrate on a single frame of star images to solve this problem and improvements are obtained to a certain extent. An attitude-correlated frames (ACF) approach, which concentrates on the features of the attitude transforms of the adjacent star image frames, is proposed to improve upon the existing techniques.
