Li HaiSheng,Yang XiuZeng,Li ChunQing 보안공학연구지원센터 2016 International Journal of Grid and Distributed Comp Vol.9 No.7

Target area coverage is the most fundamental goal of WSN (Wireless Sensor Network) application, so the design of energy aware based algorithm for coverage time maximization becomes a core problem of a large network. For this reason, a DECAR (Distributed-energy and Coverage Aware Routing) protocol is proposed in this paper to realize the goal of network coverage maximization. Specifically, the rest energy and the coverage overlapping degree of the nodes are considered during CH (cluster head) selection process so as to provide more opportunities for the nodes with more rest energy or higher coverage overlapping degree to become CH; like this, the nodes with less rest energy will not be selected as CH, thus to avoid shortening the network lifetime due to early failure of these nodes and balance the network energy consumption. Meanwhile, the main data transmission line composed of CHs is constructed in the data transmission stage in order to improve data transmission efficiency. The simulation result shows: compared with CPCP-ea and EEUC protocols, the proposed DECAR protocol can obtain longer network lifetime and better data coverage ratio.

Song Lan,Lei Lixia,Li Haisheng,Hong Wang 보안공학연구지원센터(IJSIP) 2014 International Journal of Signal Processing, Image Vol.7 No.6

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to explore image denoising for patch based image process. The importance measurement model of Rough Entropy and the importance reduction method of wavelet coefficients are given. This paper combines the rough set theory with the denoising method of wavelet threshold, regarding the high-frequency information blocks in the transform domain as similar ones, and adopting importance Reduction Methods to contract the coefficients. The simulation results show that this method is effective.

Jie Liu,Shuang Li,Fan Yang,Tianyu Li,Rui Li,Yousuf Waheed,Chen Meng,Shulin Li,Kun Liu,Yanshan Tong,Haisheng Xu,Chuankuo Tian,Xinglei Zhou 대한내과학회 2024 The Korean Journal of Internal Medicine Vol.39 No.3

Background/Aims: Roxadustat, an oral medication for treating renal anemia, is a hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor used for regulating iron metabolism and promoting erythropoiesis. To investigate the efficacy and safety of roxadustat in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness. Methods: Single-center, retrospective study, 81 PD patients (with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness) were divided into the roxadustat group (n = 61) and erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) group (n = 20). Hemoglobin (Hb), total cholesterol, intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), related indicators of cardiac function and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were collected. Additionally, adverse events were also recorded. The follow-up period was 16 weeks. Results: The two groups exhibited similar baseline demographic and clinical characteristics. At baseline, the roxadustat group had a mean Hb level of 89.8 ± 18.9 g/L, while the ESAs group had a mean Hb level of 95.2 ± 16.0 g/L. By week 16, the Hb levels had increased to 118 ± 19.8 g/L (p < 0.05) in the roxadustat group and 101 ± 19.3 g/L (p > 0.05) in the ESAs group. The efficacy of roxadustat in improving anemia was not influenced by baseline levels of hs-CRP and iPTH. Cholesterol was decreased in the roxadustat group without statin use. An increase in left ventricular ejection fraction and stabilization of BNP were observed in the roxadustat group. Conclusions: For PD patients with erythropoietin hyporesponsiveness, roxadustat can significantly improve renal anemia. The efficacy of roxadustat in improving renal anemia was not affected by baseline levels of hs-CRP0 and iPTH.

Initially this paper introduces the trends of the diversified R&D investment types as well as the basic characteristics of the R&D investment. Then it proves by empirical test that businesses may have greater effects by adopting diversified investment types than single investment type. At the same time it also indicates that the difficulty of R&D investment has increased. In order to improve the efficiency of diversified investment choice, in this paper we detail factors such as market, enterprise, technology, which influence the types of R&D investment choice, and make a conclusion of each influencing factors as well.

HVOF Spray Performance Optimization Analysis and Experimental Research of WC–12Co Coating on Ti Alloy

Xinxue Chen,Chang Li,Siyu Li,Xing Han,Haisheng Jiang,Xiaoyu Zhao 대한금속·재료학회 2023 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.29 No.12

TC18 titanium alloy, with low density, high strength and corrosion resistance, is a significant material for the main loadbearingcomponents of aircraft landing gear and other aviation structures. However, its corrosion resistance and wear resistanceare insufficient when it is serviced in the extreme corrosion environments such as sea salt spray and hygrothermal,which greatly affects its wide application. It is significant to design and develop high-quality anti-corrosion and wear resistantcoatings for TC18 titanium alloy. High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) spraying WC–12Co is an ideal strengthening methodto replace surface chromium plating. Quantitatively evaluating the influence of spraying process parameters on the coatingquality is the key to prepare high-quality coatings. In this study, a numerical model of HVOF spraying WC–12Co wasestablished with JP5000 spray gun. The spray combustion reaction model and discrete phase model were solved to reveal theevolution characteristics of combustion flame flow and particle flight behavior in the spraying process. Based on the responsesurface method, the optimum spraying process parameters were determined, and the WC–12Co coatings were prepared. Onthis basis, the coating was tested by the SEM, XRD, hardness, friction and wear, salt spray corrosion and seawater corrosion. The corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the WC–12Co coating were comprehensively evaluated. The experimentshows that the WC–12Co coating prepared by HVOF spraying has great performance, which can effectively improve theprotective performance of TC18 substrate.

Outcomes of epidural steroids following percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy: a meta-analysis and systematic review

Yinghao Song,Changxi Li,Jingjing Guan,Cheng Li,Haisheng Wu,Xinzhi Cheng,Bingyu Ling,Jinglang Zhang 대한통증학회 2022 The Korean Journal of Pain Vol.35 No.1

Background: Percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy (PTED) has been widely used in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases. Epidural injection of steroids can reduce the incidence and duration of postoperative pain in a short period of time. Although steroids are widely believed to reduce the effect of surgical trauma, the observation indicators are not uniform, especially the long-term effects, so the problem remains controversial. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the efficacy of epidural steroids following PTED. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Database from 1980 to June 2021 to identify randomized and non-randomized controlled trials comparing epidural steroids and saline alone following PTED. The primary outcomes included postoperative pain at least 6 months as assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). The secondary outcomes included length of hospital stay and the time of return to work. Results: A total of 451 patients were included in three randomized and two nonrandomized controlled trials. The primary outcomes, including VAS and ODI scores, did not differ significantly between epidural steroids following PTED and saline alone. There were no significant intergroup differences in length of hospital stay. Epidural steroids were shown to be superior in terms of the time to return to work (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Intraoperative epidural steroids did not provide significant benefits, leg pain control, improvement in ODI scores, and length of stay in the hospital, but it can enable the patient to return to work faster.
