Nonharmonic Control of the Blade-Vortex Interaction Noise of Electrically Controlled Rotor by Kewei Li, Taoyong Su, Yang Lu, Qijun Zhao

“…The results show that flap nonharmonic control has little effect on miss distance and that it controls BVI noise mainly by reducing the wake vortex strength on the advancing and retreating sides, which may lead to an increase in rotor noise in other regions; the noise reduction effect of flap nonharmonic control for different blade preindex angles indicates that suitable preindex angles coupled with flap nonharmonic control help optimally reduce noise.…”

Optimizing athletic engagement and performance of obese students: an adaptive approach through basketball in physical education by Oumayma Slimi, Oumayma Slimi, Antonella Muscella, Santo Marsigliante, Mourad Bahloul, Georgian Badicu, Abdullah F. Alghannam, Fatma Hilal Yagin

“…During matches, the EG outperformed the CG, with more successful shots (girls: p = 0.0004; boys: p = 0.012), fewer missed shots (girls: p = 0.033; boys: p = 0.046), and more successful passes (p = 0.032, η² = 0.042).DiscussionThese results demonstrate that adapted physical education programs can serve as effective interventions for improving physical activity and promoting inclusion among adolescents with obesity while also serving as a preventive measure against obesity.…”

Cache of cryptographic key based on query popularity by Wei JIN, Fenghua LI, Ziyan ZHOU, Xiyang SUN, Yunchuan GUO

“…In the current HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) key management system, the encryption zone keys are all loaded into the memory during startup of key service.With the increase of the key resource, the occupied memory space also grows, bringing the bottleneck of memory space and key indexing.There are three challenges induced: how to organize cached data and efficiently handle queries with missed keys, how to adjust key resources in the cache, and how to accurately predict the use of keys.In order to achieve fine-grained and efficient caching and improve the efficiency of key use, key caching optimization was considered from three aspects: key index data structure, key replacement algorithm, and key prefetching strategy.An architecture of key cache replacement module was designed, and then a key replacement algorithm based on the query frequency was set.Specifically, from the perspective of heat computing and key replacement, the potential influencing factors affecting the popularity of key cache were analyzed which considered the file system and user of key management system.Besides, the basic model of key usage popularity was constructed.The hash table and minheap linked list was combined to maintain the heat of the key in use, and the elimination algorithm was set based on heat identification.The key in the cache was dynamically updated, and key usage was adjusted by the time controller, so as to realize key replacement according to the key heat.For key prefetching, key usage rules were obtained through log mining and periodical usage analyzing of key provisioning policies, which considered business processes and the time period dimension of user accessing.Experimental results show that the proposed key replacement algorithm can effectively improve the hit rate of cache queries, reduce memory usage, and ameliorate the impact of key file I/O interaction on query performance.…”

“…The main flaw hindering portability to clinical settings was the lack of a stated rationale behind the choice of a specific protocol and the selection of the posturographic parameters. Missing reporting about the technical aspects employed to manage posturographic data and comprehensive instructions given to the patients further contributed to lower quality.DiscussionWe provided recommendations for enhancing the clinical transferability of studies on static posturography to assess pwPD, including (1) discussing the rationale for choosing the assessment protocols and posturographic parameters, (2) detailing the inclusion criteria and select appropriate samples, and (3) reporting all the technical information to replicate the procedures and computations.Systematic review registrationInternational Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) on 6th February 2024 (ID CRD42024500777), https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?…”
