Viscosity model for aluminosilicate melt by Zhang G.H., Chou K.C.

“…It is indicated that basic oxides have two paradox influences on viscosity: basic oxide with a higher basicity decreases viscosity more greatly by forming weaker non-bridging oxygen bond; while it increases viscosity more greatly by forming stronger bridging oxygen bond in tetrahedron after charge compensating Al3+ ion. …”

Lifespan trajectories of motor control and neural oscillations: A systematic review of magnetoencephalography insights by Xinbi Zhang, Mingming Huang, Xiaoxia Yuan, Xiaoke Zhong, Shengyu Dai, Yingying Wang, Qiang Zhang, Kanya Wongwitwichote, Changhao Jiang

“…The findings revealed significant enhancements in motor efficiency from childhood to adolescence, characterized by faster movement speed, shorter movement duration, weaker MRBD, and increased PMBR and MRGS. From adolescence to early adulthood, further improvements in motor performance were noted, accompanied by strengthened MRBD, PMBR, and a slight decline in MRGS. …”

SIAT-WEXv2: A Wearable Exoskeleton for Reducing Lumbar Load during Lifting Tasks by Xinyu Ji, Dashuai Wang, Pengfei Li, Liangsheng Zheng, Jianquan Sun, Xinyu Wu

“…Additionally, we use robust fuzzy adaptive algorithm to improve SIAT-WEXv2’s antidisturbance ability, so that it can provide continuous and supple assistance for wearer. Electromyography (EMG) signals of the lumbar erector spinae (LES) from ten subjects in two experimental cases (with or without SIAT-WEXv2) were collected to evaluate the effectiveness of our new ALE. …”

The Use of Multiple Correspondence Analysis to Explore Associations between Categories of Qualitative Variables in Healthy Ageing by Patrício Soares Costa, Nadine Correia Santos, Pedro Cunha, Jorge Cotter, Nuno Sousa

“…The clustering analysis with object scores method was used to identify groups sharing similar characteristics. The weaker cognitive clusters in terms of memory and executive function comprised individuals with characteristics contributing to a higher MCA dimensional mean score (age, less education, and presence of indicators of unhealthier lifestyle habits and/or clinical pathologies). …”

A Multibeam Solar Grid Antenna Integrated With Monocrystalline Silicon Solar Cell by Fuwei Wang, Xuechen Zhang, Rong Sun, Bokai Ding, Ke Li, Chen He

“…This paper proposes a multibeam grid antenna integrated with a monocrystalline silicon solar panel first time, which consists of a grid antenna in microstrip form and a monocrystalline silicon solar cell. Multiple feeders are set at different positions of the grid antenna to adjust the current phase on the short side of the grid antenna to achieve beam scanning. …”

Clinical study of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to improve chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty by Wang Hongbin, Yuan Hua, Sun Xiaolong, Xu Mulan, Wu Xiangbo, Long Hua

“…ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)on chronic pain after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).MethodsA total of 121 patients with postoperative chronic post-surgical pain(CPSP)who underwent unilateral TKA from January 2021 to June 2023 and who fulfilled the criteria were randomly assigned to receive rTMS(paralateral M1 area,10Hz,80% resting threshold,stimulation time of 1s,interval time of 3s,1200 pulses/min,once daily)or sham stimulation for one week.NRS scores and HSS scores for knee pain were compared between the two groups after 3 days,1 week,2 weeks,and 4 weeks of treatment,by repeated-measures analysis of variance.ResultsRepeated analyses of the NRS scores and total HSS scores in the two groups revealed statistically significant differences in rTMS compared with controls in pain (HSS1), joint activity (HSS3), flexion (HSS5), and subtraction (HSS7).ConclusionAs a safe and cost-effective neuromodulatory technique, rTMS is well suited to relieve chronic pain after TKA, improve the overall recovery of joint function, and improve quality of life, and is worthy of clinical application.…”

Homogenization of Parabolic Equations with an Arbitrary Number of Scales in Both Space and Time by Liselott Flodén, Anders Holmbom, Marianne Olsson Lindberg, Jens Persson

“…We briefly recall some fundamentals of multiscale convergence and provide a characterization of multiscale limits for gradients, in an evolution setting adapted to a quite general class of well-separated scales, which we name by jointly well-separated scales (see appendix for the proof). We proceed with a weaker version of this concept called very weak multiscale convergence. …”
