Authors: Wang Yaobin , Zhang Tao , Hou Pengpeng
Published: March 2024

The traditional control of electric spring (ES) is too complex and lack of robustness, as well as the chattering phenomenon and control accuracy of traditional sliding mode control, a second-order terminal sliding mode control based on super twisting algorithm is proposed. In this paper, the phase plane method is used to establish the mathematical model of ES, solve the state space equation, and regard the AC power supply as a simplified error analysis. Then a second-order sliding mode controller is proposed. The controller parameters are solved to obtain the second-order sliding mode control rate, and the stability is verified. Finally, three groups of comparative simulation experiments were set up by Matlab/Simulink, and the effectiveness of the model was verified by considering the voltage mutation caused by the change of power supply and circuit parameters. Compared with the traditional control method, the proposed control strategy not only ensures the voltage stability, but also improves the control accuracy and the performance of suppressing sliding mode chattering, and has better dynamic response ability.

Published: March 2024

To solve the defects of insufficient heating capacity and high energy cost in the traditional heating mode of the thermal power plant, two 300 MW pumped-condensing air-cooled heating units are retrofitted by adopting a high backpressure operation mode and utilizing the low-temperature heat source quality-improving hybrid heating technology. It is found that when the load is 210 MW and the operating back pressure is 45 kPa and 54 kPa after the retrofit, the consumption of standard coal for every 1 GJ of heat is 8.19 kg and 9.76 kg, which is 16.81 kg and 15.24 kg less than that of the traditional heat supply method. When the load is 250 MW and the operating back pressure is 45 kPa, the consumption of standard coal is 8.65 kg per GJ of heat supplied, which is 16.35 kg less than that of the traditional heating method. The ROI of the retrofit is 49.01%, with a payback period of about 2.04 years, after which it can bring an annual profit of 24.5504 million RMB per year to the power plant. It can reduce the emission of soot by 152.17 t, carbon dioxide by 82.17 t, sulfur dioxide by 258.68 t, and nitrogen oxides by 225.20 t per year.

How to approach cases of anal atresia with rectoscrotal fistula: Low or intermediate?
Authors: Serhat Baykara Aziz
Published: March 2024

Anorectal malformation is a congenital condition where the anus, which opens into the rectum, is missing, malformed, or has a blockage that does not allow feces to pass from the body. These malformations often present with an enteroperineal or enterourinary tract fistula in male children. Anorectal atresia with rectoscrotal fistula is rare. Herein, we present the case of a neonate with imperforate anus and a fistula on the scrotal raphe. A fistula in front of the scrotum, described in our case, is very rare and not incorporated in the current classification and treatment algorithms. Scarce reports on misjudgment concerning the position of the blind rectal pouch in similar cases, led us to perform a colostomy instead of a one-stage correction. We believe that in cases with a rare fistula presentation, the position of the rectal pouch is not predictable and the surgeon should proceed with caution.

Published: March 2024

Robotic pancreatic surgery in pediatric patients has been an area of debate due to safety and feasibility secondary to technical difficulties, such as decreased abdominal space and lack of experience. Herein, we report a 14-year-old male patient referred to our unit due to an incidentally detected pancreatic mass located in the tail of the pancreas. Preoperative radiological assessment revealed a solid pseudopapillary neoplasm, which was later confirmed by fine-needle aspiration biopsy. Robot-assisted spleenpreserving distal pancreatectomy (Kimura procedure) was performed using the da Vinci Xi robotic system. The operation lasted 4 h and 45 min without significant blood loss. The patient recovered without intensive care unit stay. Postoperative pancreatic fistula formation was not present, and the patient was discharged on the sixth postoperative day. Robotic pancreatic surgery can be safely performed in selected patient groups without any complications. A shorter convalescence period will result in shorter return to normal daily activities. Although initial reports present feasibility and safety, further studies must be conducted.

Published: March 2024

Several image processing methods or applications have been established to get the requisite details from microscopic images for the fast and cost effective development of patient diagnosis. A type of leukemia that is more frequent in children is Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). The word 'Acute' suggests that leukemia can develop rapidly and can lead to fatal death within a few months if not managed. Because of its nonspecific existence, erroneous diagnosis refers to the effects and manifestations of everything. And though it is challenging for hematologists to identify leukemia cells, manual sorting of blood cells is not only time-consuming but also unreliable. Consequently, early diagnosis of leukemia helps in presenting the patient with the necessary care. The mechanism recommends individuals in the blood picture the leucocytes from the blood cells as a response to this issue, and then select the lymphocyte cells. The morphological index of certain cells is measured and the involvement of leukemia is eventually classified. A literature review on several methods used to identify cancer cells has been carried out in this article.

Considering the evidence that conditions accept a considerable place in each structure, owing to limited assets available at each sensor center, it is a difficult problem. Vitality safety is the primary concern in many remote sensor hub implementations. This is critical as the improvement in the device's lifetime depends primarily on restricting the usage of vitality in sensor hubs. The rationing and modification of vitality usage are of the most serious value in this context. In a remote sensor arrangement, the fundamental test is to schedule measurements for the least use of vitality. These classification frameworks are used to frame the classes in the structure and help efficiently use the strength that burdens out the network's lifespan. Besides, the degree of the center was taken into account in this work considering the measurement of cluster span as an improvement to the existing methods. The crucial piece of leeway of this suggested approach on affair clustering using fuzzy logic can increase the system's lifespan by reducing the problem area problem word.

The subject of the study is the attitude of the personality of elderly and senile people to the meaning of life and life satisfaction. The methodological basis of the study is the biopsychosocial approach, as a fundamental research model in medicine and medical psychology. Changes in the lives of older people are associated with retirement, changes in social status, loss of professional, interpersonal connections and financial stability, the presence of health problems, which leads to changes in values and meanings of life, and sometimes to maladaptation, which makes it relevant to study the characteristics of individual relationships old people. The purpose of the study is to identify the characteristics of the personality of elderly and senile people to the meaning of life and life satisfaction and to indicate the direction of psychological assistance. Scientific novelty of the study: empirical data were obtained on significant differences in the life-meaning orientations of elderly and senile people. The study was focused on studying the life-meaning orientations, life satisfaction, cognitive functions and emotional state of elderly and senile people. When analyzing the relationships between indicators, it was revealed that the meaningfulness of life of older people is associated with the consistency of achieving goals, which leads to positive self-esteem and satisfaction with life itself. Representatives of old age, due to physical and cognitive decline, distance themselves from activity in society, while maintaining satisfaction with life. The focus of psychological assistance programs requires a differentiated approach when working with elderly and senile people. Along with the correction of cognitive functions and the formation of new hobbies, it is important to include classes to develop communication skills among representatives of the older group. The results obtained can be used by specialists in medical and social institutions.

The transportable quantum memory is a feasible solution for realizing the long-distance quantum communication, which requires a storage lifetime of the order of hours. The isotope-enriched 151Eu3+:Y2SiO5 crystal is a promising candidate for this application. However, its optical storage efficiency and spin storage lifetime are limited by the wide inhomogeneous linewidth. In this work, we successfully grow isotope-enriched 151Eu3+:Y2SiO5 crystals with varying doping concentrations by utilizing the Czochralski method. The optical inhomogeneous broadening and spin inhomogeneous broadening are measured by the optical absorption spectroscopy and optically detected magnetic resonance tests, respectively. Notably, in the undoped samples, we identify a baseline level of inhomogeneous linewidths, happening at (390 ± 15) MHz for optical inhomogeneous broadening and (4.6 ± 0.2) kHz for spin inhomogeneous broadening. Our findings reveal that the point defects, induced by the doping ions, significantly contribute to the inhomogeneous broadening. For every increase of 10–6 in doping concentration, the optical inhomogeneous broadening increases by 0.97 MHz, and the spin inhomogeneous broadening increases by 0.014 kHz. Furthermore, we discuss the influence of dislocations on inhomogeneous broadening and propose potential strategies to further mitigate these effects. These advancements are expected to promote the development of ultra-long-lifetime transportable quantum memory applications.

The ability to focus light on a subwavelength scale is essential in modern photonics. Optical microfiber-based sub-wavelength focusing will allow a miniaturized, flexible and versatile tool for many applications such as biomedical imaging and optomechanics. For a separate mode exited from an optical micro-/nanofiber endface, the photons will experience significant diffraction into the free space. This situation can be changed by incorporating two-mode interference along with the specific spatial distributions of both  E -field amplitude and phase. Herein we report a novel approach to realizing sub-wavelength focusing based on the two-mode interference exited from an optical microfiber endface. By utilizing specific distributions of E -field amplitude and phase of two interacting optical modes, interference field patterns with a single focus (e.g., via a two-mode set of HE11 and HE12) or multiple foci (e.g., via a two-mode set of HE11 and HE31) can be obtained. Then, it is proved that the constructed foci will readily facilitate and selective trapping of nanoparticles. Circular polarization of optical mode is utilized in order to bring in angular symmetry of sub-wavelength focusing patterns compared with linear polarized optical modes. Our simulation results show that the smallest focal spot produced from the EH11 and HE12 mode interference has a full width at half-maximum (FWHM) of ~ 348 nm (i.e. 0.65λ). Such a subwavelength focusing field is applied to the optical trapping of an 85 nm-diameter polystyrene nanosphere. Further calculation reveals that the stable trapping can be fulfilled with axial and transverse trap stiffness of 11.48 pN/(μm·W) and 64.98 pN/(μm·W), as well as axial and transverse potential well of 101 kBT/W and 641 kBT/W via two-mode interference of HE11 and HE12. These values demonstrate the great improvement over conventional tapered fibers. Further investigations show that different foci, via a two-mode set of HE11 and HE31, exhibit unlike trap stiffness and potential wells, justifying the potential for nanoparticle size sorting. Based on the flexible all-fiber device, this subwavelength focusing strategy by two-mode interference may find promising applications in optical manipulation, superresolution optical imaging, data storage and nanolithography.

Introduction: The most common cause of perinatal dyspnoea, frequently diagnosed on chest radiographs, is Transient Tachypnoea of Newborn (TTN). Lung Ultrasound (LUS) is recognised as a promising tool that has been proven in recent studies and tends to have better diagnostic capability. Aim: To describe the sonographic features of TTN and assess their clinical importance in early diagnosis. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted at Department of Radiology, AJ Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Mangaluru, Karnataka, India, from November 2020 to May 2022. Newborns with tachypnoea admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) were enrolled in this study. In a stable state, the infants were placed in supine, lateral, and prone positions for the ultrasound scan. LUS was performed on a total of 94 infants. Along with ultrasound, a chest radiograph was also taken. Follow-up LUS was performed on days 2, 3, and on the day of discharge from the NICU. The sonographic findings of TTN were evaluated using Pearson’s Chi-squared test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Based on clinical manifestations, chest radiograph, and LUS, 60 newborns were diagnosed with TTN, and 34 had Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). Out of the 60 newborns, the gestational age ranged from 32 weeks to 40 weeks, with a mean of 38 weeks + four days. Double Lung Point (DLP) was noted in 41 newborns with TTN, which showed a sensitivity and specificity of 68% and 100%, respectively, with a positive predictive value of 100%. Conclusion: The LUS could be widely used in the NICU as the first line of screening for the primary diagnosis of TTN and for early initiation of treatment accordingly.

Introduction: Apart from age, sex and racial affiliation, the estimation of stature from human extremities is an important step in developing a biological profile for identifying an unknown individual, especially when the body found is either dismembered, mutilated, or disfigured. Aim: To estimate the stature from upper arm dimensions such as arm span, Hand Length (HL) and Hand Breadth (HB) in the adolescent age group of the West Bengal population. Materials and Methods: The present analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at a school in Kolkata from January 2023 to March 2023, involving 120 adolescent school-going boys aged 10-16 years. The arm span, HL and HB of both right and left hands were measured using standard anthropometric procedures. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between stature and various upper limb dimensions. The significance of differences was tested using an independent t-test. Results: The mean age of the study population was 12.05 years. The mean of arm span was 145.83 cm and, mean of HB (right and left sides) and; HL (right and left sides) were 7.52953 cm and 7.52955 cm; 16.13221 cm and 16.13218 cm, respectively. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that all variables, including arm span, HB and HL were significant predictors of stature (p-value<0.01). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that arm span (R2=89.81%) and HL (R2=75.69%) had the highest prediction accuracy for stature. Conclusion: All variables (arm span, HL and HB) were found to be statistically significant predictors of stature, with arm span and HL having the highest prediction accuracy. These measurements of upper limbs and regression equations can be used for the identification of unknown human remains, particularly in cases of dismembered bodies.

Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis (IGM) is a benign inflammatory disease of the breast that is difficult to treat, as there is no definitive protocol for management and it has a higher recurrence rate. The present case series presents five patients who exhibited clinical symptoms such as breast swelling, pain and nipple discharge, and were diagnosed with IGM. They were treated with a multimodality approach (surgical and/or conservative management) based on their symptoms. All patients were successfully treated for IGM using the multimodality approach. While a recurrence was observed in one out of five patients, it was further successfully treated with additional conservative management. The proposed multimodality treatment is effective in treating IGM. It eliminates the risk associated with surgical intervention among patients clinically diagnosed with IGM. It also eliminates the risk of corticosteroid side-effects among patients whose initial clinical diagnosis and postoperative histopathological examination is negative for IGM.
