Research and application of RFID location algorithm based on reference tags by WANG Yuan-zhe1, MAO Lu-hong1, LIU Hui1, XIAO Ji-gao1

“…Several improvements of the existing reference tag-based nearest-neighbor positioning algorithm were intro-duced,including the method of dynamic setting of k value,the concept of reference tags’ credibility and the algorithm of correction based on the positioning error of nearest tags.The algorithm based on the historical track of object tags was also adopted.The indoor positioning system was built with time-division multi-use antennas connected to its RF-ports.The visual software was also developed based on the algorithm proposed.Positioning accuracy and stability in complex environments were proved by experiments to be better than that of the existing algorithm.…”

The burden of depression, anxiety and schizophrenia among the older population in ageing and aged countries: an analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 by Wu Hong, Ying Cheng, Yu Fang, Jinxin Zheng, Shiyang Guan, Meiti Wang

“…However, the burden of these disorders in ageing and aged countries has not been analysed.Aims To investigate the burden of depression, anxiety and schizophrenia among older adults in ageing and aged countries.Methods Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, we calculated the estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) in the age-standardised incidence rates (ASIR) and age-standardised disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates (ASDR) for depression, anxiety and schizophrenia of older people in ageing countries (China, India, Indonesia) and aged countries (Japan, Italy, Portugal) between 1990 and 2019. Trends in incidence and DALYs were analysed by gender and age.Results In 2019, the highest incidence of depression, anxiety and schizophrenia in the older population in aged countries was in Japan (927 271.3 (752 552.3–1 125 796.5), 51 498.2 (37 625.7–70 487.3) and 126.0 (61.0–223.2), respectively), while the highest incidence in ageing countries was in China (5 797 556.9 (4 599 403.4–7 133 006.5), 330 256.1 (246 448.9–445 987.4) and 1067.7 (556.2–1775.9), respectively). …”

Moscatilin inhibits vascular calcification by activating IL13RA2-dependent inhibition of STAT3 and attenuating the WNT3/β-catenin signalling pathway by Tingting Zhang, Mengmeng Zhu, Jialing Ma, Zhenghong Liu, Zhidan Zhang, Meijie Chen, Yaping Zhao, Huaxin Li, Shengnan Wang, Xiaoning Wei, Wenwen Zhang, Xiaoxiao Yang, Peter J. Little, Danielle Kamato, Hao Hu, Yajun Duan, Baotong Zhang, Jianbo Xiao, Suowen Xu, Yuanli Chen

“…Unbiased transcriptional profiling analysis and cellular thermal shift assay suggested that Moscatilin suppresses vascular calcification via binding to interleukin 13 receptor subunit A2 (IL13RA2) and augmenting its expression. Furthermore, IL13RA2 was reduced during HASMC osteogenesis, thus promoting the secretion of inflammatory factors via STAT3. …”

A sustainable and reliable model for iron closed-loop supply chain network design with considering risk and lateral transmision and developed multi-objective decision-making method by Hamid Saffari, Morteza Abbasi, Jafar Gheidar-Kheljani

“…Purpose: This research proposes a multi-objective and robust model considering both cost and risks related to the environment (water consumption and environmental pollution), social responsibility (working conditions and employee health), operations (change in demand and return rates), and disruption (accs and diseases such as COVID-19) in the supply chain, using horizontal collaboration to deal with it.Methodology: In this research, mixed-integer linear programming and robust optimization technique have been used for closed-loop supply chain network design and a multi-objective method has been developed to solve the problem and create Pareto spaces.Findings: The results of the calculations show the effect of failure probability on the capacity of the facility, the total cost of the network and the degree of collaboration between members of the supply chain to deal with the risk. …”
