Multi-objective optimization of design parameters for tractor hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmissions by Zhen Zhu, Rui Hou, Hongwei Zhang, Dehai Wang, Long Chen

“…Abstract The design parameters of the transmission directly affect the vehicle’s dynamics and fuel economy, due to the complexity of the tractor’s working conditions and operating modes, the optimization of the transmission design parameters is more difficult. In this paper, an independently designed hydro-mechanical CVT transmission is taken as the research object, and the transmission design parameters are optimized based on the tractor’s whole life-cycle speed usage rate, and the Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm(MOGA) is used for optimization and solution. …”

Hydrological Impact of Remotely Sensed Interannual Vegetation Variability in the Upper Colorado River Basin by Qianqiu Longyang, Ruijie Zeng

“…Using the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) as a test case, we found that time‐varying vegetation provides more buffering effect against climate fluctuation than the static vegetation configuration, leading to reduced variability in the abiotic evaporation components (e.g., soil evaporation). …”

Recovery Dynamics in Patients with Ischemic Stroke Depending on the Blood Pressure Indicators and Its Variability by O. A. Efremova, E. V. Bondarenko, L. A. Kamyshnikova, T. P. Golivets, I. I. Khamnagadaev

“…All patients underwent standard physical and laboratory examinations, measurement of blood pressure in dynamics; The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was used to assess the severity of neurological deficits at the time of admission to the hospital, in the dynamics of the acute period (up to 21 days) and on the 21st day.Results: It was found that the consequences of the acute period of stroke depend on the level of blood pressure and its variability at the beginning of the ac ute period. A more  than 50 percent probability of a decrease in the NIHSS score by half (from baseline) is predicted if the patient has a standard deviation (SD) systolic blood pressure (SBP) less than 12,4 mm Hg on days 1–3. …”
