纳秒激光微织构TC4表面的抑冰性能研究北大核心CSCD

针对航空发动机进气道前缘唇口位置的结冰问题,利用纳秒激光对TC4进行表面微织构,通过扫描电镜观察不同扫描速度下的钛合金表面形貌以及EDS化学成分组成,结合接触角以及低温冷台水滴冻结的实验数据,分析了纳秒激光扫描速度对钛合金表面抑冰效果的影响。结果表明:在激光扫描速度较低的情况下,随着速度的增大,金属表面的粗糙度先增大,直到形成有序排布的凸起与凹陷后粗糙度开始下降,烧蚀效应逐渐减弱,激光加工时钛合金表面的氧化反应程度减轻;表面接触角随粗糙度的增大而增大,在扫描速度为100 mm/s时接触角最大,钛合金表面的抑冰性能最好。

Application of intelligent real-time image processing in fitness motion detection under internet of things

The purpose is to study the applicability of digital and intelligent real-time Image Processing (IP) in fitness motion detection under the environment of the Internet of Things (IoT). Given the absence of real-time training standards and possible workout injury problems during fitness activities, an intelligent fitness real-time IP system based on Deep Learning (DL) is implemented. Specifically, the keyframes of the real-time images are collected from the fitness monitoring video, and the DL algorithm is introduced to analyze the fitness motions. Afterward, the performance of the proposed system is evaluated through simulation. Subsequently, the Noise Reduction (NR) performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated from the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), which remains above 20 dB for seriously noisy images (with a noise density reaching up to 90%). By comparison, the PSNR of the Standard Median Filter (SMF) and Ranked-order Based Adaptive Median Filter (RAMF) algorithms are not higher than 10 dB. Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm outperforms other DL algorithms by over 2.24% with a detection accuracy of 97.80%; the proposed system can adaptively detect the fitness motion, with a transmission delay no larger than 1 s given a maximum of 750 keyframes. Therefore, the proposed DL-based intelligent fitness real-time IP algorithm has strong robustness, high detection accuracy, and excellent real-time image diagnosis and processing effect, thus providing an experimental reference for sports digitalization and intellectualization.

     

Psychosocial aspects of children and families treated with hemodialysis

Introduction: The aim of this study was to analyze the selected psychosocial aspects of chronic kidney disease in children treated with hemodialysis (HD). Methods: The study included 25 children treated with HD aged 2 to 18 years and their parents. Data concerning the illness and socio‐demographic parameters was collected. We used the Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) for patients and for their parents the PedsQL‐proxy version, General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐12), Berlin Social Support Scales (BSSS), and the Caregivers Burden Scale (CBS) to evaluate health‐related quality of life (QoL) of HD children and their primary caregivers. Findings: In the PedsQL test, the QoL of HD children was lower than in healthy children. Children treated with HD assessed their QoL on the PedsQL questionnaire higher than the primary caregivers, on all subscales as well as an overall health‐related QoL. Scoring below 2 on the GHQ‐12 test was reported in 56% of mothers, which may indicate that psychological symptoms have intensified. There was no correlation between BSSS, CBS, and GHQ‐12. Discussion: The assessment of QoL in pediatric patients would allow for the earliest possible identification of their nonsomatic problems and irregularities. This could, consequently, contribute to improving QoL in both children with chronic kidney disease and their families.
