Kidney damage associated with COVID-19: from the acute to the chronic phase by Yannick Mayamba Nlandu, Elliot Koranteng Tannor, Titilope Adetoun Bamikefa, Jean-Robert Rissassi Makulo

“…The entry point into the renal cell remains the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor and the spectrum of renal lesions is broad, with a clear predominance of structural and functional tubular lesions. The most common form of glomerular injury is collapsing glomerulopathy (CG), which is strongly associated with apolipoprotein L1(APOL-1) risk variants. …”

Detection of Bolt Looseness Based on Average Autocorrelation Function by Jigang Wu, Jun Shao, Gen Zhou, Deqiang Yang, Yuan Cheng

“…It does not usually directly extract the looseness damage feature from the original response signal to detect the bolt looseness, but it uses the average autocorrelation function value at time lag T = 0 of the vibration pixel displacement signal to establish the looseness damage index. In terms of structural arrangement of this paper, firstly, the theoretical background of the proposed method is given. …”

RESEARCH ON VIBRATION FEATURE EXTRACTION METHOD OF RAIL TRANSIT VEHICLE SUBGRADE BASED ON WAVELET PACKET Teager DISPERSION ENTROPY by ZHANG Min, SUN LongYin, XIA Tuo, ZHANG Xiong

“…The hoisting and transfer of electrical equipments such as transformers are weak links that are neglected in monitoring,and secondary damage caused by mechanical impact is very easy to occur.The impact response of transformer rail transit vehicle caused by subgrade vibration was studied.Firstly,the rail transit vehicle transformer coupling analysis model was established,and the response area of the rail transit vehicle transformer coupling analysis model under the action of subgrade vibration was obtained by finite element analysis.Then,a non⁃periodic transient response feature extraction method based on wavelet dispersion entropy was proposed.This method performed good sparsity segmentation of the whole frequency band through the optimal subband tree structure of wavelet packet,decomposed the one⁃dimensional data containing a variety of information into different dimensions,and realized the effective decomposition of signals.The impact characteristics of subband signals were enhanced by Teager energy operator(TEO),and the subband signals with impact response characteristics were selected by dispersion entropy.Finally,through the subgrade vibration simulation signal,it is verified that the proposed method can accurately extract the aperiodic transient impact response components from the coupling path interference.…”
