Cluster channel equalization using adaptive sensing and reinforcement learning for UAV communication

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Aiming to address the need for dynamic sensing and channel equalization in UAV cluster communication environments, this article introduces an equalization algorithm based on a U-Net model and fuzzy reinforcement Q -learning (U-FRQL-EA). This algorithm is designed to enhance the channel sensing and equalization capabilities of UAV communication systems. Initially, we develop a U-Net-based signal processing algorithm that effectively reduces acoustic noise in UAV communication channels and enables real-time, accurate perception of channel states by automatically learning channel features. Subsequently, we enhance fuzzy reinforcement Q -learning by incorporating a fuzzy neural network to approximate the Q -values and integrating this approach with the allocation strategy of wireless sensing nodes. This enhancement not only improves the accuracy of Q -value approximation but also increases the algorithm’s adaptability and decision-making ability in complex channel environments. Finally, we construct the U-FRQL-EA equalization algorithm by combining the improved U-Net model with fuzzy reinforcement Q-learning. This algorithm leverages the U-Net model to sense channel states in real time and intelligently adjusts data forwarding strategies based on fuzzy values generated by the fuzzy reinforcement Q -learning. Simulation results demonstrate that the U-FRQL-EA algorithm effectively reduces the system’s bit error rate, enhances communication quality, and optimizes network resource utilization, offering a novel solution for improving the performance of uncrewed aerial vehicle communication systems.
[Endoscopic sclerosis for hemorrhage caused by peptic ulcer: a real advance].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The new methods of endoscopic hemostasis for bleeding gastric or duodenal ulcers are discussed. These techniques are increasingly important in patients with high risk for surgery. Due to its low cost, technical simplicity and a success rate similar to the other methods, endoscopic sclerosis is probably the first choice therapy for these conditions.

The Electrical Cationic Mobilities of (Na —Rb)NO3 and (Tl — Rb)NO3 Molten Mixtures

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The cationic internal mobilities of the (Na-Rb)NO 3 (over a large temperature range) and (Tl-Rb)NO 3 (at 325 °C) molten systems, have been determined. The trends of the mobility iso­therms of (Na-Rb)NO 3 do not change with temperature. The preexponential factors of the Arrhe­nius plots are nearly (within the experimental accuracy) independent of composition. The activa­tion energy of the Na + mobility, passing from NaNO 3 to RbNO 3 , increases by about 0.8 kcal·mole -1 ; the activation energy of Rb + passing from RbNO 3 to NaNO 3 decreases by about 0.4 kcal·mole -1 . The Tl + and Rb + mobilities in the (Tl-Rb)NO 3 system vary linearly with composition and are equal within ~ 5%. The mobility results in both systems confirm the validity of equations for the equivalent conductivity excesses previously described.
Effects of mobility on dialect change: Introducing the linguistic mobility index

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Increased geographical mobility prompts dialectologists to factor in survey participants' exposure to linguistic variation in their research. Changing mobility patterns (e.g. longer-distance commuting; easier relocation to distant places for work, study or marriage) have caused linguistic connections to become much more diverse, potentially contributing to the acceleration of dialect change. In this methodological work we propose the Linguistic Mobility Index (LMI) to estimate long-term exposure to dialectal variation and thereby to provide a reference of localness about survey participants. Based on data about a survey participant's linguistic biography, an LMI may comprise combinations of influential agents and environments, such as the dialects of parents and long-term partners, the places where participants have lived and worked, and the participants' level of education. We encapsulate the linguistic effects of these agents based on linguistic differences, the intensity and importance of the relationship. We quantify the linguistic effects in three steps. 1) The linguistic effect of an agent is represented by a linguistic distance, 2) This linguistic distance is weighted based on the intensity of the participant's exposure to the agent, and 3) Further weighted according to the relationship embodied by the agent. LMI is conceptualised and evaluated based on 500 speakers from 125 localities in the Swiss German Dialects Across Time and Space (SDATS) corpus, and guidance is provided for establishing LMI in other linguistic studies. For the assessment of LMI's applicability to other studies, four LMI prototypes are constructed based on the SDATS corpus, employing different theoretical considerations and combinations of influential agents and environments to simulate the availability of biographical data in other studies. Using mixed-effects modelling, we evaluate the utility of the LMI prototypes as predictors of dialect change between historic and contemporary linguistic data of Swiss German. The LMI prototypes successfully show that higher exposure to dialectal variation contributes to more dialect change and that its effect is stronger than some sociodemographic variables that are often tested for affecting dialect change (e.g. sex and educational background).
Prognostic Importance of Pretransplant Functional Capacity After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic importance of functional capacity in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for hematological malignancies. Patients and Methods. Using a retrospective design, 407 patients completed a 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) test to assess functional capacity before HCT; 193 (47%) completed a 6MWD test after hospital discharge. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the risk of nonrelapse mortality (NRM) and overall survival (OS) according to the 6MWD category (&lt;400 m vs. ≥400 m) and the change in 6MWD (before HCT to discharge) with or without adjustment for Karnofsky performance status (KPS), age, and other prognostic markers. Results. Compared with &lt;400 m, the unadjusted hazard ratio for NRM was 0.65 (95% confidence interval, 0.44–0.96) for a 6MWD ≥400 m. A 6MWD of ≥400 m provided incremental information on the prediction of NRM with adjustment for age (p = .032) but not KPS alone (p = .062) or adjustment for other prognostic markers (p = .099). A significant association was found between the 6MWD and OS (p = .027). A 6MWD of ≥400 m provided incremental information on the prediction of OS with adjustment for age (p = .032) but not for other prognostic markers (p &gt; .05 for all). Patients presenting with a pre-HCT 6MWD of &lt;400 m and experiencing a decline in 6MWD had the highest risk of NRM. Conclusion. The 6MWD is a significant univariate predictor of clinical outcomes but did not provide prognostic information beyond that of traditional prognostic markers in HCT. Implications for Practice: The pretransplant 6-minute walk test is a significant univariate predictor of clinical outcomes in hematological patients beyond age but not beyond that of performance status. On this basis, 6-minute walk distance testing should not be considered part of the standard battery of assessments for risk stratification before hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Application of Fuzzy Controller to Missile Networked Control Systems

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

With the development of the missile digital control and network transmission technologies, the data bus transmit scheme has been paid more and more attentions. However, communication networks inevitably introduce time delay. To compensate the time delay effects, an application of fuzzy controller to such system is presented. The main contents are adjusting PID parameters using fuzzy logic method. Moreover, an optimization method is introduced to tune the consequent parameters on-line such that a certain performance index is minimized. Simulation results show the effectiveness of these methods.

Comparing the Success Rate of Pleurodesis with Thoracoscopic Talc Poudrage Combined with Indwelling Pleural Catheter versus Thoracoscopic Talc Poudrage in Patient with Malignant Pleural Effusion, A Randomized, Non-inferiority Clinical Trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background: Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication in patients with metastatic cancer, resulting in debilitating symptoms and worsening performance status and quality of life. The prevention of recurrent MPE can be achieved with either thoracoscopic talc poudrage (TTP) or indwelling pleural catheter (IPC). Objective: To access the success rate of combined TTP and IPC, compared with TTP alone, in patients with symptomatic MPE. Methods: A single-center randomized, non-inferiority trial was conducted in symptomatic MPE. Patients were randomly allocated to either receive TTP and IPC or TTP alone. Primary outcome was success rate of pleurodesis at 12 weeks after the procedure. Results: Twenty-six patients were randomized, mean age was 61 (61.58±12.34) years old. Twelve patients underwent combined TTP and IPC (TTP+IPC). No statistically significant differences were noted in baseline characteristics, except higher dyspnea score in the TTP+IPC group. 23 patients were complete follow-up at 12 weeks, the pleurodesis success was occurred in 8 of 9 patients (88.89%) in the TTP+IPC group and 9 of 14 patients (64.29%) in the TTP group, with a difference of 24.6%[95%CI, -7.83% to 57.03%]. TTP+IPC spent significantly shorter hospital length of stay after procedure (1.5[1-2] vs 3[3-4], p<0.001), greater reduction of dyspnea and pain, with out increasing procedure related complication. Conclusion: Among patients with symptomatic MPE, using combination of TTP and IPC was effective and safe with shorter LOS and better quality of life.
Russian Spiritual Verse as a part of the cultural and linguistic heritage of Russian and Serbian Spiritual Vocabulary

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The subject of the research is the analysis of specific linguistic, cultural and literary features that reflect the spiritual and moral values of the two peoples. Spiritual verse, which is a poetic form used in Russian and Serbian spiritual literature and, being part of national folklore, not only reflects cultural and spiritual values, but also serves as a link between language, faith and the national aspect. The texts of the main types of spiritual poems (lyrical, epic, lyric-epic) are taken as the material of the research. As a result of the research, it was found that spiritual verse has unique properties, which include religious and national-heroic themes, its textual and musical form, emotionality, subjectivity, and educational orientation, which make it possible to create a whole phenomenon of a special genre in culture. The research is conducted with an emphasis on the culture and worldview of the Russian and Serbian peoples. A historical and etymological method was applied, which highlights the study of the origin of words and their changes over time, which shows how the vocabulary of spiritual verse developed and what cultural influences could have influenced it. The novelty of the research is determined by the cultural content of folklore and the corresponding use of vocabulary with a national cultural component in speech, as well as knowledge of the specifics of linguistic and cultural interactions that have been formed over the centuries. The study of the peculiarities of this vocabulary in the context of Serbian linguoculture can reveal unique aspects such as the use of metaphors, symbols and archaisms, which makes this analysis especially valuable for understanding historical and cultural evolution. This study aims to identify the importance of spiritual verse in the context of Russian and Serbian cultures, its impact on the formation of the linguistic environment and the preservation of spiritual heritage. Studying the vocabulary of Russian spiritual verse against the background of Serbian culture enriches not only philology, but also the general cultural discourse, contributing to dialogue between peoples. The conducted research allows us to draw a conclusion that spiritual verse is one of the most relevant topics in modern Slavic folklore. From a linguistic point of view, this is a little-studied material.
[A case report of gastric cancer consisting predominantly of undifferentiated carcinoma].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

We encountered a rare case of gastric cancer consisting predominantly of undifferentiated carcinoma.The patient was a 64-year-old man who underwent various tests because of symptoms of dysphagia in September 2012.We found a subcircumferential type II tumor at the gastroesophageal junction.A total gastrectomy, splenectomy, and Rouxen-Y reconstruction were performed.Adhesiotomy was also performed for the ileus on postoperative day (POD)2.The patient subsequently experienced septic shock with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and acute kidney failure due to complications of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) pneumonia and MRSA colitis.As a consequence, the patient required respiratory management and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF). In addition, the patient experienced hemorrhage from the Roux-en-Y-anastomotic site in the contact with the ileus tube during treatment for septicemia on POD14, which was resolved with endoscopic treatment.Moreover, a cholecystectomy was performed on POD52 for gangrenous cholecystitis.The patient's progress was satisfactory.The pathology results revealed an undifferentiated carcinoma with the following characteristics: pT4a (SE), ly1, v0, pPM1, pDM0, type 2, 80 × 75 mm, UE, Less.In addition, immunostaining results revealed a tumor consisting of at least 90% of undifferentiated carcinoma tissue.Four months after surgery, local recurrence at the site of the esophagojejunostomy, disseminated recurrence around the left kidney, and metastases in the left adrenal gland appeared. The partial response (PR) was maintained by treatment with CPT-11+ cisplatin (CDDP) + trastuzumab.However, left adrenalectomy was performed 1 year and 4 months after the initial surgery was performed for metastasis to the left adrenal gland that started 10 months after surgery.One year and 10 months after the initial surgery, the patient continues to receive treatment with trastuzumab and has not exhibited signs of recurrence.
Vecuronium and Atracurium in the Elderly: A Clinical Comparison with Pancuronium

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The intubating conditions, time to complete block and duration of clinical relaxation were observed in a group of 101 elderly patients (aged over 65 years) following pancuronium 0.1 mg kg ‐1 , vecuronium 0.1 mg kg ‐1 or atracurium 0.5 mg kg ‐1 . The intubating conditions in the three groups were similar when assessed at 2 min following relaxant administration. The time to complete block was shortest with vecuronium (4.3 min) in comparison to atracurium (5.0 min) and pancuronium (6.0 min), but the differences were not statistically significant. The duration of clinical relaxation, however, was significantly shorter with vecuronium (37 min) and atracurium (35 min) in comparison to pancuronium (99 min).

Exploring the Impact of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder on a Mobile Sleep Intervention for Insomnia

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Insomnia is a prevalent and debilitating disorder among U.S. veterans.Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI) can be effective for treating insomnia, but unfortunately many Veterans with sleep issues so not access this in-person care.Technology-based solutions such as mobile apps can offer affordable and accessible self-management alternatives to in-person CBTI.Additionally while insomnia is often comorbid with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for veterans, those with comorbid mental health disorders are often excluded from mobile-insomnia interventions, due in part to a belief that this comorbidity makes a patient-symptomology severe to benefit from these options.The current study represents a post-hoc, secondary analysis of a randomized clinical pilot trial (RCT) investigating the usability and effectiveness of a mobile-delivered insomnia intervention for veterans (N = 33) with chronic insomnia.The present study examined potential differences in sleep outcomes following use of the VA insomnia self-management app (CBT-i Coach app) based on the severity of participant's PTSD symptoms.Outcomes included insomnia severity, quality of sleep, and functional outcomes of sleep.Results indicated that veterans with PTSD symptoms in the clinical range (PCL-5 > 33) reported significant improvements on sleep outcomes (insomnia severity, functional outcomes of sleep, and sleep quality), as did veterans without PTSD.These rates of sleep quality improvement after app use were also similar between veterans with and without clinically-significant PTSD symptoms.These findings suggest that self-management mobile apps for insomnia treatment can also assist veterans with comorbid PTSD symptoms, and should be considered when referring veterans to mobile app resources.

Radioimmunoassay of methaqualone in human urine compared with chromatographic methods.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract The 125I-radioimmunoassay for methaqualone in human urine was evaluated by a comparison with newly modified gas-liquid chromatographic and thin-layer chromatographic methods. The statistically significant sensitivity value for the radioimmunoassay was at 2 microgram of methaqualone per liter of urine. The coefficient of variation was 2.88 +/- 0.39% interassay and 2.71 +/- 0.16% intraassay. There was cross-reactivity only with metabolites of methaqualone, 4'-hydroxymethaqualone being twice as sensitively measured as methaqualone. There was complete agreement between results by radioimmunoassay and by gas-liquid chromatography in 96.7% of the samples analyzed. Only 1.2% of the radioimmunoassay values were false positives, and 2.1% false negatives (phi = 0.8917, P less than 0.001). Comparisons between the thin-layer chromatographic data and the gas-liquid chromatographic or radioimmunoassay data showed less agreement because of the 50- to 200-fold higher sensitivity of the latter two techniques. Gas-liquid chromatography therefore appears to represent the best reference method for the evaluation of the radioimmunoassay, which appears to be a very sensitive and reliable technique for detecting methaqualone and its metabolites in human urine.
Discovery of BI 224436, a Noncatalytic Site Integrase Inhibitor (NCINI) of HIV-1

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

An assay recapitulating the 3' processing activity of HIV-1 integrase (IN) was used to screen the Boehringer Ingelheim compound collection. Hit-to-lead and lead optimization beginning with compound 1 established the importance of the C3 and C4 substituent to antiviral potency against viruses with different aa124/aa125 variants of IN. The importance of the C7 position on the serum shifted potency was established. Introduction of a quinoline substituent at the C4 position provided a balance of potency and metabolic stability. Combination of these findings ultimately led to the discovery of compound 26 (BI 224436), the first NCINI to advance into a phase Ia clinical trial.
The Importance of Talent Management for Long‐term Business Success

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This chapter describes the importance of talent management for long-term business success. A survey on the importance of talent management for UK organizations was conducted by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development. The development of high potential individuals and growth of senior managers were reported by two-thirds of respondents as the main objectives for their talent management activities. In-house development programmes, coaching and succession planning were also common activities. Around 94% of survey respondents believed that well-designed talent management activities can have a positive impact on an organizations bottom line and the vast majority of the sample organizations agreed talent management was a business priority for their organization. The main reasons that companies manage executive talent so poorly is that many leaders do not realise that the success of the talent-building process depends on what they do.
