Influencing factors were analyzed, and correlation analyses wereperformed.RESULTSA total of 483 elderly cancer patients successfully completed the study. The prevalence of LS and StD amongparticipants was 56.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified age, tumor metastasis,exercise habits, and the presence of StD as significant risk factors for LS in elderly cancer patients. Additionally,having three or more chronic diseases and LS were significant predictors for developing StD. Spearman’s correlationanalysis revealed a significant positive correlation between LS and StD (r = 0.424, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONElderly cancer patients exhibit a high prevalence of LS and StD, conditions which are positively correlated andmutually influential. Thus, it is critical to monitor and address pre-depressive states while evaluating and managingmotor function in this population.展开更多

This paper gives a theoretical formulation for the cross-correlation functions and cross-power spectra between the outputs under the assumption of white-noise excitation. It widens the field of modal analysis under ambient excitation because many classical methods by impulse response functions or frequency response functions can be used easily for modal analysis under unknown excitation. The Polyreference Complex Exponential method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm using cross-correlation functions in time domain and Orthogonal Polynomial method using cross-power spectra in frequency domain are applied to a steel frame to extract modal parameters under operational conditions. The modal properties of the steel frame from these three methods are compared with those from frequency response functions analysis. The results show that the modal analysis method using cross-correlation functions or cross-power spectra presented in this paper can extract modal parameters efficiently under unknown excitation.展开更多

The previously described new rotation function calculates the rotation function of molecular replacement by matching the search model directly with the Patterson vector map. The signal-to-noise ratio for the correct match was increased by averaging all the matching peaks. Several matching scores were employed to evaluate the goodness of matching. These matching scores were then combined into a single total score by optimizing a set of weights using the linear regression method. It was found that there exists an optimal set of weights that can be applied to the global rotation search and the correct solution can be ranked in the top 100 or less. However, this set of optimal weights in general is dependent on the search models and the crystal structures with different space groups and cell parameters. In this work, we try to solve this problem by designing a dynamic correlation coefficient. It is shown that the dynamic correlation coefficient works for a variety of space groups and cell parameters in the global search of rotation function. We also introduce two new matching scores: relative entropy and mean-square-residues. Last but not least, we discussed a valid method for the optimization of the adjustable parameters for matching vectors.展开更多

Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used to characterize the quality of NCF at each station pair. The SNR (in dB) is shown to be dependent on the separation distance R of the station pair via SNR= A -BlogR. 'Normalized average SNR' for all the station pairs can then be calculated, as represented by the value of SNR taking R = 250 km in the empirical SNR-R relation, to measure the overall quality of the NCF result. The 'normalized average SNR' of the NCF shows temporal variation and is apparently dependent on the root-mean-square (RMS) velocity of the microseism. The result obtained by this experiment provides clues to the explanation of the properties of NCF, such as the dominant mechanism underlying (diffuse wave fields or uncorrelated sources), and the dependence of SNR on the time length of recordings.展开更多

摘要BACKGROUND Psychological comorbidities,such as anxiety and depression,in patients with chronic ankle instability(CAI)may impede ankle function improvement,although the precise nature of this association warrants further investigation.AIM To analyze the correlation of anxiety and depression with ankle function in patients with CAI and discussing the risk factors.METHODS This study included 116 patients with CAI,who were admitted to our hospital from July 2022 to July 2024.Anxiety and depression states of patients were assessed with the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and self-rating depression scale(SDS),respectively,and their ankle joint function was assessed with the anklehindfoot function score of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society.Further,the ankle function of patients with CAI with different anxiety and depression states was discussed.Furthermore,the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation of anxiety and depression with ankle joint function in such patients.Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to investigate the factors affecting ankle joint function in patients with CAI.RESULTS Among the 116 patients with CAI,97,13,5,and 1 cases demonstrated none,mild,moderate,and severe anxiety,whereas 95,15,6,and 0 cases showed none,mild,moderate,and severe depression,respectively.The average ankle joint function score was 74.82±6.93 points.The ankle joint function in patients with CAI presented a significant downward tendency as the degree of anxiety and depression increased.Correlation analysis revealed that both the SAS and SDS scores of patients with CAI were significantly negatively correlated with the ankle joint function score.Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that the risk factors affecting patients’ankle joint function included early functional rehabilitation,visual analog scale,and SDS.CONCLUSION A substantial number of patients with CAI suffer from anxiety and depression,and these negative emotions,to a certain extent,harm the smooth rehabilitation of ankle joint function.

摘要Extracellular polymeric substances(EPS),are crucial components of biofilms that drive the bioelectrical conversion of petroleum hydrocarbons(PHCs),but their role has not been adequately addressed.This research explores the driving role of EPS in bioelectrical PHC conversion by rhizosphere microbial fuel cells(MFCs).We found that current density,output voltage,coulombic efficiency,power density,current stabilization time,metabolite volatile fatty acid(VFA)production and PHC biodegradation ratio initially increased and then decreased with rising initial EPS level(0-128 mg·g-1),peaking at 64±1 mA·m−2,8.04±0.16 V,60.9±1.2%,129±3 mW·m−2,23±1 days,1.77±0.04 g·kg-1 and 66.7±1.5%,respectively.Fluorescence intensity of proteins having tyrosine-tryptophan demonstrated a continuous enhancement,consistent with increased biofilm thickness.Within an appropriate range of initial EPS levels(0-64 mg·g-1),bioelectricity generation and PHC bioconversion enhanced as the EPS content rose in mature biofilms.However,excessive EPS addition could increase biofilm thickness to 0.48 mm,which in turn reduced biofilm activity and overall system performance.The abundances of electrochemically active and PHC-degrading bacteria presented an initial increase followed by a subsequent decrease as the initial EPS level rose,highlighting that EPS at the optimal level enriched and activated these functional bacteria.The positive correlations between the relative abundances of these bacteria and various metrics of bioelectricity generation and PHC bioconversion underscored the critical role of EPS in shaping microbial community structure and enhancing electron transfer efficiency through biofilm formation and stabilization.These findings not only provide a critical theoretical foundation and novel ideas to promote the conversion of PHC into renewable bioenergy but also highlight the potential scalability and environmental benefits of this technology in the field of clean remediation of PHC-polluted soils and recovery of bioenergy.Integrating EPS-driven MFCs with other renewable energy technologies will offer promising opportunities to develop hybrid systems that generate clean energy while mitigating environmental pollution.Furthermore,this approach also has the potential as biosensors for the real-time detection of PHCs,thus contributing to broadening its application in environmental monitoring.

摘要BACKGROUND Studies have shown that locomotive syndrome(LS)is significantly correlated with adverse outcomes,such as decreased self-care abilities,fractures,and increased mortality.Subthreshold depression(StD)is considered an independent predictor of clinical depression,regarded as its prodromal stage,and even linked to increased mortality risk.Limited research has addressed the prevalence and relationship between LS and StD in elderly cancer patients.Understanding the prevalence of LS and StD among elderly cancer patients and elucidating their relationship will provide evidence to support the development of targeted interventions,thereby improving health outcomes in this population.AIM To investigate the relationship between musculoskeletal system function and predepressive states in elderly cancer patients.METHODS A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 500 elderly cancer patients undergoing follow-up visits at the Department of Oncology,Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University,from April 2024 to December 2024.Participants completed the general information questionnaire, the 25-question Geriatric Locomotive Function Scale, and theGeriatric Depression Scale-Short Form-15. Influencing factors were analyzed, and correlation analyses wereperformed.RESULTSA total of 483 elderly cancer patients successfully completed the study. The prevalence of LS and StD amongparticipants was 56.5% and 38.7%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified age, tumor metastasis,exercise habits, and the presence of StD as significant risk factors for LS in elderly cancer patients. Additionally,having three or more chronic diseases and LS were significant predictors for developing StD. Spearman’s correlationanalysis revealed a significant positive correlation between LS and StD (r = 0.424, P < 0.001).CONCLUSIONElderly cancer patients exhibit a high prevalence of LS and StD, conditions which are positively correlated andmutually influential. Thus, it is critical to monitor and address pre-depressive states while evaluating and managingmotor function in this population.

摘要The Kagome metal CsV3Sb5 transitions from a weakly correlated state to a strongly correlated state upon Cr substitution;however,the mechanism driving this enhancement remains an open question.Here,we employed a combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory(DFT+DMFT)to systematically investigate the evolution of electronic correlations in the CsV3−xCrxSb5(x=0,1,and 3)series.Our calculations revealed that Cr doping drives the system into a strongly correlated Hund’s metal phase,which is characterized by significant and orbital-dependent enhancements in the quasiparticle effective masses and electronic scattering rates.We trace the origin of this transition to the doping-induced shift from low-to high-spin atomic configurations.This preference for high-spin states,which is promoted by near-half-filling of the Cr-d orbitals,induces a pronounced orbital blocking effect that strengthens the correlations.Our findings establish that Hund’s coupling is the decisive factor governing the rich correlation physics in the CsV3−xCrxSb5 family,providing a tunable platform for exploring Hund’s metallicity.

摘要As the differences of sensor's precision and some random factors are difficult to control,the actual measurement signals are far from the target signals that affect the reliability and precision of rotating machinery fault diagnosis.The traditional signal processing methods,such as classical inference and weighted averaging algorithm usually lack dynamic adaptability that is easy for trends to cause the faults to be misjudged or left out.To enhance the measuring veracity and precision of vibration signal in rotary machine multi-sensor vibration signal fault diagnosis,a novel data level fusion approach is presented on the basis of correlation function analysis to fast determine the weighted value of multi-sensor vibration signals.The approach doesn't require knowing the prior information about sensors,and the weighted value of sensors can be confirmed depending on the correlation measure of real-time data tested in the data level fusion process.It gives greater weighted value to the greater correlation measure of sensor signals,and vice versa.The approach can effectively suppress large errors and even can still fuse data in the case of sensor failures because it takes full advantage of sensor's own-information to determine the weighted value.Moreover,it has good performance of anti-jamming due to the correlation measures between noise and effective signals are usually small.Through the simulation of typical signal collected from multi-sensors,the comparative analysis of dynamic adaptability and fault tolerance between the proposed approach and traditional weighted averaging approach is taken.Finally,the rotor dynamics and integrated fault simulator is taken as an example to verify the feasibility and advantages of the proposed approach,it is shown that the multi-sensor data level fusion based on correlation function weighted approach is better than the traditional weighted average approach with respect to fusion precision and dynamic adaptability.Meantime,the approach is adaptable and easy to use,can be applied to other areas of vibration measurement.

摘要Objective Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of environmental chemicals and other factors that can affect their health.Analysis of these mixture exposures presents several key challenges for environmental epidemiology and risk assessment,including high dimensionality,correlated exposure,and subtle individual effects.Methods We proposed a novel statistical approach,the generalized functional linear model(GFLM),to analyze the health effects of exposure mixtures.GFLM treats the effect of mixture exposures as a smooth function by reordering exposures based on specific mechanisms and capturing internal correlations to provide a meaningful estimation and interpretation.The robustness and efficiency was evaluated under various scenarios through extensive simulation studies.Results We applied the GFLM to two datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES).In the first application,we examined the effects of 37 nutrients on BMI(2011–2016 cycles).The GFLM identified a significant mixture effect,with fiber and fat emerging as the nutrients with the greatest negative and positive effects on BMI,respectively.For the second application,we investigated the association between four pre-and perfluoroalkyl substances(PFAS)and gout risk(2007–2018 cycles).Unlike traditional methods,the GFLM indicated no significant association,demonstrating its robustness to multicollinearity.Conclusion GFLM framework is a powerful tool for mixture exposure analysis,offering improved handling of correlated exposures and interpretable results.It demonstrates robust performance across various scenarios and real-world applications,advancing our understanding of complex environmental exposures and their health impacts on environmental epidemiology and toxicology.

摘要The effect of source size and emission time on the proton-proton(p-p)momentum correlation function(Cpp(q))has been studied systematically.Assuming a spherical Gaussian source with space and time profile according to the function S(r,t)~exp(-r2/2 r02-t/τ)in the correlation function calculation code(CRAB),the results indicate that one Cpp(q)distribution corresponds to a unique combination of source size r0 and emission timeτ.Considering the possible nuclear deformation from a spherical nucleus,an ellipsoidal Gaussian source characterized by the deformation parameter∈=ΔR/R has been simulated.There is almost no difference of Cpp(q)between the results of spherically and ellipsoidally shaped sources with small deformation.These results indicate that a unique source size r0 and emission time could be extracted from the p-p momentum correlation function,which is especially important for identifying the mechanism of twoproton emission from proton-rich nuclei.Furthermore,considering the possible existence of cluster structures within a nucleus,the double Gaussian source is assumed.The results show that the p-p momentum correlation function for a source with or without cluster structures has large systematical differences with the variance of r0 andτ.This may provide a possible method for experimentally observing the cluster structures in proton-rich nuclei.

摘要In most of real operational conditions only response data are measurable while the actual excitations are unknown, so modal parameter must be extracted only from responses. This paper gives a theoretical formulation for the cross-correlation functions and cross-power spectra between the outputs under the assumption of white-noise excitation. It widens the field of modal analysis under ambient excitation because many classical methods by impulse response functions or frequency response functions can be used easily for modal analysis under unknown excitation. The Polyreference Complex Exponential method and Eigensystem Realization Algorithm using cross-correlation functions in time domain and Orthogonal Polynomial method using cross-power spectra in frequency domain are applied to a steel frame to extract modal parameters under operational conditions. The modal properties of the steel frame from these three methods are compared with those from frequency response functions analysis. The results show that the modal analysis method using cross-correlation functions or cross-power spectra presented in this paper can extract modal parameters efficiently under unknown excitation.
摘要Blind separation of source signals usually relies either on the condition of statistically independence or involving their higher-order cumulants. The model of two channels signal separation is considered. A criterion based on correlation functions is proposed. It is proved that the signals can be separated, using only the condition of noncorrelation. An algorithm is derived, which only involves the solution to quadric nonlinear equations.

摘要A previously published new rotation function has been improved by using a dynamic correlation coefficient as well as two new scoring functions of relative entropy and mean-square-residues to make the rotation function more robust and independent of a specific set of weights for scoring and ranking. The previously described new rotation function calculates the rotation function of molecular replacement by matching the search model directly with the Patterson vector map. The signal-to-noise ratio for the correct match was increased by averaging all the matching peaks. Several matching scores were employed to evaluate the goodness of matching. These matching scores were then combined into a single total score by optimizing a set of weights using the linear regression method. It was found that there exists an optimal set of weights that can be applied to the global rotation search and the correct solution can be ranked in the top 100 or less. However, this set of optimal weights in general is dependent on the search models and the crystal structures with different space groups and cell parameters. In this work, we try to solve this problem by designing a dynamic correlation coefficient. It is shown that the dynamic correlation coefficient works for a variety of space groups and cell parameters in the global search of rotation function. We also introduce two new matching scores: relative entropy and mean-square-residues. Last but not least, we discussed a valid method for the optimization of the adjustable parameters for matching vectors.

摘要Noise correlation function (NCF) was calculated using the data of the Beijing Capital-Area Telemetered Digital Seismograph Network from June 12 to September 12, 2005. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is used to characterize the quality of NCF at each station pair. The SNR (in dB) is shown to be dependent on the separation distance R of the station pair via SNR= A -BlogR. 'Normalized average SNR' for all the station pairs can then be calculated, as represented by the value of SNR taking R = 250 km in the empirical SNR-R relation, to measure the overall quality of the NCF result. The 'normalized average SNR' of the NCF shows temporal variation and is apparently dependent on the root-mean-square (RMS) velocity of the microseism. The result obtained by this experiment provides clues to the explanation of the properties of NCF, such as the dominant mechanism underlying (diffuse wave fields or uncorrelated sources), and the dependence of SNR on the time length of recordings.
