Efficiency evaluation of healthcare services in China based on stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis and directional distance function

Evaluating the efficiency of healthcare services accurately can help in analyzing the rationality of inputs and outputs in such services. Considering the consistency and equity of assessment criteria, this study conducts the stochastic multicriteria acceptability analysis (SMAA-2) with a directional distance function to evaluate the efficiency of healthcare services in 31 provincial administrative regions of mainland China, as observed in 2018. We use SMAA-DDF to explore all the projection directions to the efficient frontier instead of a certain projection direction. We measure the maximum and average efficiencies for each of the 31 provincial healthcare services. Our empirical findings show that only seven provinces achieve optimal healthcare service efficiency; the eastern area performed the best, followed by the central, western, and northeast areas. Furthermore, the path along the projection directions is provided to help inefficient provinces improve their efficiency and obtain the best possible positions.

Cellular/dendritic transition,dendritic growth and microhardness in directionally solidified monophasic Sn-2%Sb alloy

Horizontal directional solidification experiments were carried out with a monophasic Sn-2%Sb (mass fraction) alloy to analyze the influence of solidification thermal parameters on the morphology and length scale of the microstructure. Continuous temperature measurements were made during solidification at different positions along the length of the casting and these temperature data were used to determine solidification thermal parameters, including the growth rate (V_L) and the cooling rate (T_R). High cooling rate cells and dendrites are shown to characterize the microstructure in different regions of the casting, with a reverse dendrite-to-cell transition occurring for T_R>5.0 K/s. Cellular (l_c) and primary dendrite arm spacings (l₁) are determined along the length of the directionally-solidified casting. Experimental growth laws relating l_c and l₁ to V_L and T_R are proposed, and a comparative analysis with results from a vertical upward directional solidification experiment is carried out. The influence of morphology and length scale of the microstructure on microhardness is also analyzed.

煤层顶板裂隙高位定向长钻孔安全高效抽采技术的研究与应用

放顶煤开采期间，上覆岩层受到矿压的影响，形成冒落带、裂隙带、弯曲下沉带，工作面采空区遗煤和围岩涌出的大量瓦斯飘浮在上方裂隙带区域，造成瓦斯聚集并向外涌出，形成了安全隐患，因此必须将该区域瓦斯抽出来；以往治理采空区瓦斯主要采用顶板裂隙高位钻场、顶板高抽巷等措施，但是这2种方法施工成本较高，且施工周期长，对生产接替影响较大。煤层顶板裂隙高位定向长钻孔安全高效抽采采用大功率钻机+定向钻进技术，在裂隙带施工控制整个回采范围的长钻孔，减少采空区和邻近层瓦斯向工作面空间的流动，真正实现了“以孔代巷”，既节省了成本，又缩短了工期，还提高了采空区瓦斯抽采的连续性、稳定性，减少了采空区瓦斯向外涌出，提升了瓦斯抽采效果，促进了煤矿安全高效发展。     

定向钻进随钻跟踪设计与控制技术应用研究

目前在定向钻进过程中，往往因没有更好地开展工程实施跟踪与工程设计预测控制技术，导致后续施工出现偏差，钻进成本和钻井施工难度增大。为此，根据定向钻进设计原理，采用最小二乘法求出修正系数，运用轨迹预测模型，开展了定向钻进随钻跟踪设计与控制技术的研究。采用常用的Excel编制程序，输入实钻数据后，自动分析出后续定向轨迹设计。做到随时输入随时预测，可有效防止定向偏差。经现场应用，可有效快速预测后续定向钻进参数，及时指导后续定向钻进工作，减少工程失误风险。     

The effect of gelation on statically and dynamically freeze-cast structures

Freeze-casting is a technique used to produce structures with anisotropic porosity in the form of well-defined microchannels throughout a sample. Here, this technique is used on the magnetocaloric ceramic La_0.66Ca_0.26Sr_0.07 Mn_1.05O₃. We show that a dynamic freezing profile, where the temperature is decreased continuously at −10 K/min, results in homogeneous, lamellar channels with widths of ∼15 µm, while static freezing, where the temperature is kept constant at 177 K, results in channels of increasing size away from the initial ice crystal nucleation site. The effect of gelation before freeze-casting is also investigated. Gelation inhibits ice crystal growth, which significantly changes the morphology by making channel cross sections less elongated, while additionally introducing more dendrites and ceramic bridges in the structure. The latter significantly dominates the flow path through the gelated structures, affecting the calculated tortuosity, which increases to τ ≈ 4 when compared to non-gelated samples where calculated tortuosities are in the range of ∼1.3 to ∼3. Finally, we present a systematic and automatic approach for evaluating channel and wall sizes and calculating tortuosities. This is based on analysis of images obtained by scanning electron microscopy using a continuous particle size distribution method and the TauFactor application in MATLAB^®.     

基于颗粒阻尼器的曲线桥减震分析与试验

为了将颗粒阻尼器引入到曲线桥减震控制中,设计制作了某典型曲线桥的1/10缩尺试验模型及可用于试验模型桥上的曲型舱颗粒阻尼器(curved-capsule particle damper,简称CPD),基于振动台试验开展了地震波类别和激励方向对该型阻尼器减震效果的影响研究。结果表明:CPD构造简单,可方便快捷地安装于曲线桥上;远场地震波和近断层地震波作用下,CPD沿顺桥向和横桥向均能发挥一定的减震控制效果,对曲线桥动力响应的抑制具有良好的方向适应性;与远场地震波相比,近断层地震波作用下,由于长周期大脉冲的影响,CPD减震控制效果的变异性更大,当在结构自振周期附近存在大脉冲时,CPD的减震控制效果更佳。
