    Abstract This study proposes a novel wireless power transfer (WPT) resonance compensation design method based on the SS topology with a self-limitation function that achieves fault tolerance without additional components when the secondary circuit is in a short and open state. Conventionally, WPT compensation topologies have constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV) output characteristics. The CC and CV characteristics can lead to overvoltage and overcurrent, respectively. Several control systems have been proposed to counter this issue; however, they tend to increase the cost and weight of the system. The proposed topology has a self-limitation function that limits the voltage–ampere output. Here, the wireless charging system was designed after the parameters were obtained using the proposed analysis. The performance of the proposed design was verified by configuring a 400 W experimental prototype and comparing it with the conventional series–series (SS) topology. Experimental results indicated that the system could effectively limit the output voltage and current resulting from open-or short-circuit states.

    Abstract Background: Researchers have examined the association between self-esteem and obesity in past studies. However, most studies have focused on pediatric or adolescent populations. In this pilot study, we aim to explore the association of self-esteem with weight status in young adults, a group of individuals in a significant and pivotal period of their lives whose needs and challenges have received little attention in previous studies.
    Materials and methods: Exactly 127 college juniors and seniors in the Midwest participated in late 2017. For our survey, we collected the following information: body weight, height, self-esteem score from the state self-esteem scale, grade point average, risk of eating disorders, sleep quality, nutritional behavior, lifestyle (smoking, frequency of exercise, alcohol drinking, average daily time watching television, playing video games, and social media use), and demographic and socioeconomic background. We used logistic regression for our analysis.
    Results: The logistic regression indicates that a one-point increase in the self-esteem score was negatively associated with a young adult's odds of having an unhealthy weight (being overweight or obese) by approximately 3%. Furthermore, soda drinking is a statistically significant factor associated with weight status.
    Conclusions: This finding suggests self-esteem is positively associated with a healthy weight in young adults. A larger-scale study should be conducted in the future to validate this relationship and better understand young adults' needs.

    Abstract Abstract Background With the rapid development of China’s chemical industry, although researchers have developed many methods in the field of chemical safety, the situation of chemical safety in China is still not optimistic. How to prevent accidents has always been the focus of scholars’ attention. Methods Based on the characteristics of chemical enterprises and the Heinrich accident triangle, this paper developed the organizational-level accident triangle, which divides accidents into group-level, unit-level, and workshop-level accidents. Based on 484 accident records of a large chemical enterprise in China, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the rationality of accident classification and the occurrence rules of accidents at different levels. In addition, this paper used TF-IDF and K-means algorithms to extract keywords and perform text clustering analysis for accidents at different levels based on accident classification. The risk factors of each accident cluster were further analyzed, and improvement measures were proposed for the sample enterprises. Results The results show that reducing unit-level accidents can prevent group-level accidents. The accidents of the sample enterprises are mainly personal injury accidents, production accidents, environmental pollution accidents, and quality accidents. The leading causes of personal injury accidents are employees’ unsafe behaviors, such as poor safety awareness, non-standard operation, illegal operation, untimely communication, etc. The leading causes of production accidents, environmental pollution accidents, and quality accidents include the unsafe state of materials, such as equipment damage, pipeline leakage, short-circuiting, excessive fluctuation of process parameters, etc. Conclusion Compared with the traditional accident classification method, the accident triangle proposed in this paper based on the organizational level dramatically reduces the differences between accidents, helps enterprises quickly identify risk factors, and ...

    Abstract In order to improve the emergency management ability of urban communities in response to emergencies and reduce the losses caused by emergencies, based on the method of Cone-Analytic Network Process (Cone-ANP), a whole-process community emergency management ability evaluation method was proposed. Using around 25 evaluation indexes from six dimensions, namely infrastructure resilience, community organization resilience, risk management, emergency material support, emergency force building, and emergency literacy, this method established the dominant relationship of each index by the analysis of the cone network structure. It determined the community safety culture construction as the cone-top element, and obtained the limit weight vector of all the evaluation indexes by expert evaluation. The membership degree of each index was calculated to quantify the evaluation results of community emergency management ability. The results could provide a guidance and reference basis for community emergency management.

    Abstract Abstract Candida albicans is a benign member of gut microbiota, but also causes life-threatening disseminated infections, suggesting that this fungus commensalism has evolved with retention of virulence traits. Here we reveal that N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) enables C. albicans to balance between commensalism and pathogenesis. Although GlcNAc catabolism is beneficial for commensal growth of C. albicans, deleting GlcNAc sensor-transducer Ngs1 confers enhanced fitness, indicating that GlcNAc signaling is detrimental to commensalism. Interestingly, addition of GlcNAc attenuates commensal fitness of gut-evolved C. albicans but retains its disease-causing potential. We further demonstrate that GlcNAc is a major inducer of hypha-associated transcription in the gut, which represents the key determinant for commensal-pathogenic equilibrium. In addition to yeast-to-hypha morphogenesis, we also identify other factors, including Sod5 and Ofi1, that contribute to the balance. Thus, C. albicans uses GlcNAc to build up a tradeoff between fungal programs supporting commensalism and virulence, which may explain its success as a commensal and pathogen.

    Abstract A comprehensive molecular analysis of the deep-sea blind lobsters of the family Polychelidae, often referred to as "living fossils", is conducted based on all six modern genera and 27 of the 38 extant species. Using six genetic markers from both mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, the molecular phylogenetic results differ considerably from previous morphological analyses and reveal the genera Polycheles and Pentacheles to be para- or polyphyletic. As the splitting of Polycheles has strong support from both molecular and morphological data, two new genera, Dianecheles and Neopolycheles, are erected for those species excluded from the clade containing the type species of Polycheles. The pattern of polyphyly of Pentacheles, however, is not robustly resolved, so it is retained as a single genus. Fossil evidence suggests that fossil polychelids inhabited deep-sea environments as early as the Early to Middle Jurassic, demonstrating the enduring adaptation of extant polychelid species to the deep-sea. Time-calibrated phylogeny suggested that modern polychelids probably had an Atlantic origin during the Jurassic period. Since their emergence, this ancient lobster group has continued to diversify, particularly in the West Pacific, and has colonized the abyssal zone, with the deepest genus, Willemoesia, representing the more 'derived' members among extant polychelids. Differences in eye reduction among extant polychelid genera highlight the necessity for ongoing investigations to ascertain the relative degree of functionality of their eyes, if they indeed retain any function.
