Altered individual-based morphological brain network in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Wang Yan, Ge Limin, Sun Zhizhong, Cao Zidong, Qiu Shijun

“…We constructed the networks using symmetric Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence-based similarity (KLS) and calculated various global and nodal metrics based on graph theory to describe the topological properties of the networks. Firstly, T2DM exhibited increased nodal degree in the left para-hippocampus, left amygdala, left precuneus, bilateral putamen, and right inferior temporal gyrus, and the concentrations of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were positively correlated with the nodal degree of the left precuneus. …”

Study on the Power Performance of Hybrid Electric Vehicle with Rear twin-shaft Type AMT by Song Jun, Chu Chaomei, Tang Haichuan, Chen Jiejing

“…AMT is used in hybrid electric vehicle,and the motor and gearbox output shaft coupling rear twin-shaft type structure is adopted,so during the shifting time,the motor will provide power to drive the car,which play the advantages of high transmission efficiency,great capacity of torque and continuous output can play as stepless transmission power strength,and the power performance is improved.By solving the motor power torque during the process of shift,the vehicle simulation model is established in the Avl- Cruise and electric auxiliary strategy of vehicle is built in the MATLAB / Simulink for united simulation studying.The simulation results show that,in the process of shifting,the vehicle acceleration is not obvious drop,at the same time,the speed maintain upward trend,the power performance of vehicle can be improved.…”
