Article Abstract

To study the influence of the driving environment of an undersea tunnel on driver EEG (electroencephalography) characteristics and driving safety, a real vehicle experiment was performed in the Qingdao Jiaozhou Bay Tunnel. The experimental data of the drivers' real vehicle experiment were collected using an illuminance meter, EEG instrument, video recorder and other experimental equipment. The undersea tunnel is divided into different areas, and the distribution law of driving environment characteristics, EEG characteristics and vehicle speed characteristics is analyzed. The correlations between the driving environment characteristics, EEG characteristics and vehicle speed characteristics model the variables that pass the correlation test. The driving safety evaluation model of an undersea tunnel is established, and the driving safety in different areas of the undersea tunnel is evaluated. The results show that there are obvious differences in illumination, EEG power change rate, vehicle speed and other variables in different areas of the undersea tunnel. The driving environment characteristics are highly correlated with the β wave power change rate. The driving safety of different areas of the undersea tunnel from high to low is: upslope area, downslope area, exit area and entrance area. The study will provide a theoretical basis for the safe operation of the undersea tunnel.

Objective: Surgical site infections are difficult complications to manage in neurosurgery practice. We aimed to evaluate the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO₂) therapy in neurosurgery practice through cases followed in our clinic.

Method: HBO₂ therapy was performed in 13 cases between 2019-2022 at our neurosurgery clinic.

Objectives: To improve traffic safety at the entrance section of undersea tunnels, this research analyzes the effectiveness of the coordinated setting of variable speed limit signs(VSLs) and visual deceleration markings(VDMs) at the entrance section of the undersea tunnels.

Methods: This research sets various parameters of VSLs and VDMs under the condition of a speed limit of 80 km/h. Twelve types of coordinated schemes of VSLs and VDMs are set.

Most medical examinations performed on divers and compressed air workers to assess their fitness to work focus on the risks associated with exposure to increased and changing environmental pressure. However, these employees are also exposed to numerous other hazards in their workplace that may have long- and short-term health impacts. The potential adverse impact must be assessed and risk managed by companies working with a Contract Medical Advisor (CMA) assigned to the works via a Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) process.

The propulsive fins of ray-finned fish are used for large scale locomotion and fine maneuvering, yet also provide sensory feedback regarding hydrodynamic loading and the surrounding environment. This information is gathered via nerve cells in the webbing between their fin rays. A similar bioinspired system that can gather force feedback from fin motion could enable valuable insight into robotic underwater locomotion improving swimming efficiency and orientation.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the performance and durability of manufactured sand high-performance concrete (MSHPC) with different mix ratios, focusing on its application in the Dalian Bay undersea tunnel construction.
  • Findings indicate that stone powder content significantly affects physical properties, with 9% powder resulting in optimal workability, while excess powder can cause early crack issues.
  • The research concludes that a stone powder content between 5% and 13% enhances compressive strength, achieving a 28-day strength of 60 MPa at 13%, and confirms that the MSHPC meets the longevity requirements for the tunnel project.
