Self-inflicted partial epiphyseolysis of the distal femur—a case report by Anna Kanewska, Johannes Krause, Mario Perl

“…IntroductionInjuries to the epiphyseal plate are of great concern as they can affect bone growth. Although epiphyseal fractures are common in adolescents, fractures of the distal femoral epiphyseal plate are rare.Case presentationWe present a case of a Salter–Harris type 1 fracture of the distal epiphysis of the femur that was self-inflicted by a patient with paraplegia due to spina bifida. …”

Influence of Design Parameters of Anchor on Dyke Slope Stability by ZHENG Changhai, ZHAO Yuhao, YAN Chengming

“…Anchor is a commonly used supporting component in slope engineering,and its design parameters have a great influence on its anchoring effect.This paper studies the influence of length,spacing,inclination,anchoring area and anchoring length of anchors on the anti-slide safety factor of the slope,based on the numerical simulation of stability of dyke slope reinforced by anchors.The results show that:At a certain inclination,with a increase in anchor length,the safety factor increases first and then becomes steady,and there is an effective anchor length.The optimal anchor length decreases with anchor spacing increasing.Under certain anchor spacing,the safety factor increases at first and then decreases with anchor inclination increasing,and there is an optimal anchor inclination.The optimal anchor inclination decreases with anchor length increasing.Under different anchoring areas,with anchor length-to-spacing ratio increasing,the safety factor remains basically unchanged at first and then gradually increases,and with anchoring area increasing,the critical optimal anchor length-to-spacing ratio increases.With anchoring length increasing,the safety factor first increases and then remains basically unchanged,and there is an optimal anchoring length.…”

Research on the graphical convolution neural network based benefits recommendation system strategy by Tao TAO, Zhen LI, Jibin WANG, Haiyong XU, Yong JIANG, Zhuo CEHN, Runbo ZHANG, Qingyuan HU

“…The recommendation system is one of the important methods to realize the intelligent recommendation of massive Internet benefit products.In order to improve the accuracy of personalized benefits recommendation, a deep learning recommendation system based on graph computing method was proposed.Considering the heterogeneity of multi-source data, a graph representation technology based on deep learning was carried out to construct the multiple relationship graph between users and benefit products.The multiple relationship graph extracted the information of graph structure, and model the heterogeneous graphs for the multi-dimensional features of users and the multiple interaction modes between rights and interests products, which effectively aggregated various interactive information and the multiple feature.A heterogeneous graph convolutional neural network was built to learn the high-dimensional feature vectors for various nodes, and excavate users＇ latent preferences to provide a recommendation link with strong interpretability, which greatly improved the recommendation success rate and generating economic value.…”
