Regulation of the sintering trajectory of Ho,Pr:Y2O3 ceramics for 2.9 μm mid-infrared lasers by atmospheric sintering by Qing Li, Fei Liang, Jun Wang, Yan Ling Xue, Jie Ma, Peng Liu, Shiyu Sun, Zhan Hui, Jian Zhang, Changhua Zhang, Lili Hu, Haohai Yu, Huaijin Zhang, Dingyuan Tang

“…The sintering trajectory of the Ho,Pr:Y2O3 ceramics could be effectively adjusted by sintering in a flowing oxygen atmosphere instead of vacuum. The final-stage grain growth was significantly suppressed by the use of oxygen atmosphere presintering, resulting in smaller average grain sizes than those of samples sintered under vacuum, while the same relative density was achieved. …”

Stabilization of Two Electricity Generators by Dany Ivan Martinez, José de Jesús Rubio, Arturo Aguilar, Jaime Pacheco, Guadalupe Juliana Gutierrez, Victor Garcia, Tomas Miguel Vargas, Genaro Ochoa, David Ricardo Cruz, Cesar Felipe Juarez

“…To reach this goal, our suggested regulator has the following contributions: (a) it starts from the sliding mode regulator with the modifications that the saturation mapping is used to reach a smoother performance instead of the signum mapping, and the sine mapping is applied to reach an upper bound in the proportional gain error, (b) it is used to reach some chosen constant behaviors for the angle position, angle speed, and current in the electricity generators, and (c) its stabilization is ensured based on the Lyapunov approach. …”

Temporal trends and future projections of incidence rate and mortality for asthma in China: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Xi Chen, Xi Chen, Dandan Ma, Hangyu Li, Yilin Liu, Guixing Xu, Xinyu Deng, Qi Li, Junqi Li, Hui Pan

“…Our projections indicate that the ASIR and ASMR will continue to decrease by 2046, with expected rates of 330 and 0.69, respectively. Instead, the absolute number of asthma incidence cases and deaths may increase to approximately 4.5 million and 80,000, respectively.ConclusionAlthough asthma incidence rates and mortality have generally declined in China, the burden remains significant, especially among vulnerable groups, with higher rates in males. …”
