The University Library’s Recommending System with the Personalized Recommending Functions

Jihong Wei 보안공학연구지원센터 2015 International Journal of u- and e- Service, Scienc Vol.8 No.10

Recently, with the rapid development of science and cultural areas, the written and electronic amount of books in the university libraries increases sharply. When readers use the traditional searching system which is based on the collaborative filtering method, it is usually difficult for them to find out their interested books due to a large number of results from the system. Aiming at this problem, the paper points out a sort of personalized recommending system. This system optimizes the collaborative filtering method based on the information of the users, uses the new collaborative filtering method based on the classification of users and books, and analyzes and orders a variety of recommending information after filter. From the experiment, it concludes that compared with the traditional recommending system the personalized system targets towards different types of readers. The numbers of books which feed back to readers have decreased a lot. What’s more, after a comprehensive analysis and order of the various recommending information, the average recommending accuracy will make further improvement.

Spermatogenesis of Male Patients with Congenital Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism Receiving Pulsatile Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Therapy Versus Gonadotropin Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Wei Chao,Long Gongwei,Zhang Yucong,Wang Tao,Wang Shaogang,Liu Jihong,Ma Delin,Liu Xiaming 대한남성과학회 2021 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.39 No.4

Purpose: Pulsatile gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) therapy and gonadotropin therapy (GT) were widely used for male patients with congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH), but their efficacy was not well compared before. We conducted this meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of restoring fertility using these two therapies. Materials and Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus were systematically searched for comparative studies evaluating the efficiency of GnRH therapy and GT for male patients with CHH. For continuous outcomes, the weighted mean difference (WMD) was used to measure the difference, whereas the risk ratio with 95% confidence interval was calculated for binary variables. Results: Overall, eight articles from seven studies with 420 patients enrolled were included in the analysis. Patients from the two different groups were determined to be comparable in age, proportion with Kallmann syndrome, percentage of cryptorchidism and pretreatment hormones (follicular-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone). GnRH therapy was related to a larger testicular volume (standardized mean difference=-1.43; p=0.01) and earlier spermatogenesis (WMD=- 5.30 months; p=0.004) compared to GT. However, the difference in the rate of positive sperm detection (p=0.08), sperm concentration (p=0.37), and pregnancy rate (p=0.11) were not significant. Allergic reactions mostly occurred during GnRH therapy, while GT was related to a higher incidence of gynecomastia and acne. Conclusions: Compared to GT, GnRH was related to earlier spermatogenesis and less estradiol-related adverse reactions, although there were no significant differences in spermatogenesis rate, sperm concentration, and pregnancy rate. High-quality randomized controlled trials are needed for future research.

Influence of Ga(Al)As substrates on surface morphology and critical thickness of InGaAs quantum dots

Yi Wang,Xiang Guo,Jiemin Wei,Chen Yang,Zijiang Luo,Jihong Wang,Zhao Ding 한국물리학회 2019 Current Applied Physics Vol.19 No.4

Influence of Ga(Al)As substrates on surface morphology of InGaAs quantum dots and critical thickness of In0.5Ga0.5As film grown by molecular beam epitaxy is investigated. The In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dots are grown on (001) surfaces of GaAs and Al0.25Ga0.75 A at 450 °C, scanning tunneling microscope images show that the size of quantum dots varied slightly for 10 ML of In0.5Ga0.5As grown on GaAs and Al0.25Ga0.75As surfaces. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is used to monitor the growth of 4 monolayers (ML) In0.5Ga0.5As on Al0.25Ga0.75As and GaAs surfaces during deposition. The critical thickness is theoretically calculated by adding energy caused by surface roughness and heat from substrate. The calculations show that the critical thickness of In0.5Ga0.5As grown on GaAs and Al0.25Ga0.75As are 3.2 ML and 3.8 ML, respectively. The theoretical calculation agrees with the experimental results.

Progressive collapse of steel-framed gravity buildings under parametric fires

Jian Jiang,Wenyu Cai,Guo-Qiang Li,Wei Chen,Jihong Ye 국제구조공학회 2020 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.36 No.4

This paper investigates the progressive collapse behavior of 3D steel-framed gravity buildings under fires with a cooling phase. The effect of fire protections and bracing systems on whether, how, and when a gravity building collapses is studied. It is found that whether a building collapses or not depends on the duration of the heating phase, and it may withstand a “short-hot” fire, but collapses under a mild fire or a “long-cool” fire. The collapse time can be conservatively determined by the time when the temperature of steel columns reaches a critical temperature of 550 °C. It is also found that the application of a higher level of fire protection may prevent the collapse of a building, but may also lead to its collapse in the cooling phase due to the delayed temperature increment in the heated members. The tensile membrane action in a heated slab can be resisted by a tensile ring around its perimeter or by tensile yielding lines extended to the edge of the frame. It is recommended for practical design that hat bracing systems should be arranged on the whole top floor, and a combination of perimeter and internal vertical bracing systems be used to mitigate the fire-induced collapse of gravity buildings. It is also suggested that beam-to-column connections should be designed to resist high tensile forces (up to yielding force) during the cooling phase of a fire.

The brittleness characteristics of sand reinforced with polypropylene fiber (PF) and polyurethane organic polymer(POP) was investigated in detail using direct tensile and unconfined compression tests. The effects of POP/PF content, curing time and sand density on the brittleness of reinforced sand were studied. The reinforcement mechanism was analyzed with images of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and sample failure mode. The test results indicated that the brittleness of sand increases with curing time, and it has no obvious change after 48 h. The brittleness was decreased obviously with the increase in POP and PF contents. The brittleness of reinforced sand reaches a relative stable state when the POP and fiber contents reach 3 % and 0.6 % respectively. The brittleness also increased with sand density and it reaches a plateau at 1.55 g/cm3. The POP forms a large number of polymer films with water volatilizing in the sand, and the sand particles were wrapped. Fibers improved the compressive strength of reinforced sand and changed it to a more ductile one. Polypropylene fiber plays the role of reinforcing the sand, effectively improving the strength of the sand and reducing the brittleness of the reinforced sand.

Review on Quantitative Measures of Robustness for Building Structures Against Disproportionate Collapse

Jiang, Jian,Zhang, Qijie,Li, Liulian,Chen, Wei,Ye, Jihong,Li, Guo-Qiang Council on Tall Building and Urban Habitat Korea 2020 International journal of high-rise buildings Vol.9 No.2

Disproportionate collapse triggered by local structural failure may cause huge casualties and economic losses, being one of the most critical civil engineering incidents. It is generally recognized that ensuring robustness of a structure, defined as its insensitivity to local failure, is the most acceptable and effective method to arrest disproportionate collapse. To date, the concept of robustness in its definition and quantification is still an issue of controversy. This paper presents a detailed review on about 50 quantitative measures of robustness for building structures, being classified into structural attribute-based and structural performance-based measures (deterministic and probabilistic). The definition of robustness is first described and distinguished from that of collapse resistance, vulnerability and redundancy. The review shows that deterministic measures predominate in quantifying structural robustness by comparing the structural responses of an intact and damaged structure. The attribute-based measures based on structural topology and stiffness are only applicable to elastic state of simple structural forms while the probabilistic measures receive growing interest by accounting for uncertainties in abnormal events, local failure, structural system and failure-induced consequences, which can be used for decision-making tools. There is still a lack of generalized quantifications of robustness, which should be derived based on the definition and design objectives and on the response of a structure to local damage as well as the associated consequences of collapse. Critical issues and recommendations for future design and research on quantification of robustness are provided from the views of column removal scenarios, types of structures, regularity of structural layouts, collapse modes, numerical methods, multiple hazards, degrees of robustness, partial damage of components, acceptable design criteria.

Background: Two randomized phase III trials (EORTC55971 and CHORUS) showed similarprogression-free and overall survival in primary or interval debulking surgery in ovariancancer, however both studies had limitations with lower rate of complete resection and lack ofsurgical qualifications for participating centers. There is no consensus on whether neoadjuvantchemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (NACT-IDS) could be a preferred approachin the management of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in the clinical practice. Methods: The Asian SUNNY study is an open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled,phase III trial to compare the effect of primary debulking surgery (PDS) to NACT-IDS instages IIIC and IV EOC, fallopian tube cancer (FTC) or primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC). The hypothesis is that PDS enhances the survivorship when compared with NACT-IDS inadvanced ovarian cancer. The primary objective is to clarify the role of PDS and NACT-IDS inthe treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. Surgical quality assures include at least 50% of nogross residual (NGR) in PDS group in all centers and participating centers should be nationalcancer centers or designed ovarian cancer section or those with the experience participatingsurgical trials of ovarian cancer. Any participating center should be monitored evaluatingthe proportions of NGR by a training set. The aim of the surgery in both arms is maximalcytoreduction. Tumor burden of the disease is evaluated by diagnostic laparoscopy orpositron emission tomography/computed tomography scan. Patients assigned to PDS groupwill undergo upfront maximal cytoreductive surgery within 3 weeks after biopsy, followed by6 cycles of standard adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients assigned to NACT group will undergo 3cycles of NACT-IDS, and subsequently 3 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy. The maximal timeinterval between IDS and the initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy is 8 weeks. Major inclusioncriteria are pathologic confirmed stage IIIC and IV EOC, FTC or PPC; ECOG performancestatus of 0 to 2; ASA score of 1 to 2. Major exclusion criteria are non-epithelial tumors as wellas borderline tumors; low-grade carcinoma; mucinous ovarian cancer. The sample size is 456subjects. Primary endpoint is overall survival.
