    Abstract The vibration suppression control of a flexible manipulator system modeled by partial differential equation (PDE) with state constraints is studied in this paper. On the basis of the backstepping recursive design framework, the problem of the constraint of joint angle and boundary vibration deflection is solved by using the Barrier Lyapunov function (BLF). Moreover, based on the relative threshold strategy, an event-triggered mechanism is proposed to save the communication workload between controller and actuator, which not only deals with the state constraints of the partial differential flexible manipulator system, but also effectively improves the system work efficiency. Good damping effect on vibration and the elevated system performance can be seen under the proposed control strategy. At the same time, the state can meet the constraints given in advance, and all system signals are bounded. The proposed scheme is effective, which is proven by simulation results.

    Abstract Guar gum (GG) fracturing fluid is frequently used in the field of enhanced oil recovery. GG fracturing fluids must have increased the temperature resistance and salt tolerance due to the complexity of drilled formations. In this study, the cationic guar gum (GG-GTA) samples for fracturing fluids were successfully synthesized, which can even resist 120 °C. It can be directly prepared by formation water, even sea water. Besides hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds, the additional cationic groups can strengthen the network even more in the GG-GTA fracturing fluids, which is why the GG-GTA fracturing fluids had stronger rheological properties than the GG fracturing fluids. The GG-GTA fracturing fluids performed well in terms of temperature resistance, salt tolerance, pressure resistance, and proppant carrying capacity. In addition, the GG-GTA gel-breaking caused little damage to core permeability because it exhibited low viscosity, interfacial tension, and surface tension. These results provide a solid foundation for the application of GG-GTA fracturing fluids in oilfield production.

    Abstract Statistically summarizing information from a stimulus array into an ensemble representation (e.g., the mean) improves the efficiency of visual processing. However, little is known about how the brain computes the ensemble statistics. Here, we propose that ensemble processing is realized by nonadditive integration, rather than linear averaging, of individual items. We used a linear regression model approach to extract EEG responses to three levels of information: the individual items, their local interactions, and their global interaction. The local and global interactions, representing nonadditive integration of individual items, elicited rapid and independent neural responses. Critically, only the neural representation of the global interaction predicted the precision of the ensemble perception at the behavioral level. Furthermore, spreading attention over the global pattern to enhance ensemble processing directly promoted rapid neural representation of the global interaction. Taken together, these findings advocate a global, nonadditive mechanism of ensemble processing in the brain.

    Abstract The quality of life of human beings has improved tremendously through improved productivity, convenience, safety, and livability due to nighttime lights that illuminate outdoor work, leisure, and mobility. Recently, however, concerns have been growing over outdoor artificial light at night (ALAN) and its effects on human beings as well as ecosystems including animals and plants. This literature review aims to deliver a critical overview of the findings and the areas for future research on the effects of outdoor ALAN on human health and behaviors. Through a narrative literature review, we found that scientific research crucially lacks studies on the effects of outdoor ALAN on human behaviors and health, including social interaction, which may be more widespread compared to what is recognized so far. This review also highlights the importance of investigating the causal and complex relationships between outdoor ALAN, health, and behaviors with sleep as a key mediating factor. We elucidate that outdoor ALAN has both positive and negative effects on human life. Therefore, it is important for societies to be able to access facts and evidence about these effects to plan, agree to, and realize the optimal usage of nighttime lighting that balances its merits and demerits. Researchers in related areas of study must investigate and deliver the science of outdoor ALAN to various stakeholders, such as citizens, policymakers, urban and landscape planners, relevant practitioners, and industries. We believe that our review improves the understanding of outdoor ALAN in relation to human life and contributes to sustainable and thriving societies.

    Abstract Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia that occurs in 2-4% of adults and poses a threat to human health. Thus, comparison of the efficacy and safety of therapies for AF is warranted. Here, we used network analysis to compare efficacy (arrhythmia recurrence and re-hospitalization) and safety (ischemic cerebral vascular events, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality) endpoints among five major therapies for AF.
    Methods: The PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched, and relevant literature was retrieved. Only studies that made comparisons among the therapies of interest and involved patients with AF were included. Pairwise comparisons and frequentist method (SUCRA plot) analyses were conducted.
    Results: In total, 62 studies were included in the pooled analysis. In pairwise comparisons, atrioventricular nodal ablation plus permanent pacemaker (AVN + PPM) was associated with a significantly higher risk of atrial arrhythmia recurrence than surgical ablation [odds ratio (OR): 23.82, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.97-287.59, fixed-effect model; 3.82, 95% CI: 1.01-559.74, random-effects model]. Furthermore, radiofrequency ablation was associated with a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular mortality than medication in pairwise comparison (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.29-0.83, fixed-effect model; OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.27-0.9, random-effects model). Frequentist analysis indicated that AVN + PPM had the best performance in reducing the risk of safety and efficacy endpoints.
    Conclusion: Non-pharmaceutical therapies showed superior performance to traditional drug therapy in lowering the risk of safety and efficiency endpoint events. AVN + PPM performed best in reducing the risk of safety and efficacy endpoints.

    Abstract In this paper, we focus on solving a distributed convex aggregative optimization problem in a network, where each agent has its own cost function which depends not only on its own decision variables but also on the aggregated function of all agents' decision variables. The decision variable is constrained within a feasible set. In order to minimize the sum of the cost functions when each agent only knows its local cost function, we propose a distributed Frank-Wolfe algorithm based on gradient tracking for the aggregative optimization problem where each node maintains two estimates, namely an estimate of the sum of agents' decision variable and an estimate of the gradient of global function. The algorithm is projection-free, but only involves solving a linear optimization to get a search direction at each step. We show the convergence of the proposed algorithm for convex and smooth objective functions over a time-varying network. Finally, we demonstrate the convergence and computational efficiency of the proposed algorithm via numerical simulations.

    Abstract Purpose: Total ankle replacement (TAR) or ankle arthrodesis (AA) is the main surgical treatment for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. However, the therapeutic effect of the two surgical procedures at different follow-up times remains controversial. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare the short-term, medium-term, and long-term safety and efficiency of the two modern surgical treatments.
    Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library databases, Web of Science, and Scopus. The main results were the patient's reported outcome measure (PROM) score, satisfaction, complications, reoperation, and surgery success rate. Different follow-up times and implant designs were used to evaluate the source of heterogeneity. We used a fixed effects model for meta-analysis and I
    Results: Thirty-seven comparative studies were included. In the short term, TAR significantly improved clinical scores (AOFAS score: WMD = 7.07, 95% Cl: 0.41-13.74, I
    Conclusion: TAR had advantages over AA in the short term due to better performance in terms of PROMs, complications, and reoperation rates, but its complications become a disadvantage in the medium term. In the long term, AA seems to be favored because of lower complications and revision rates, although there is no difference in clinical scores.

    Abstract Statistical encoding compresses redundant information from multiple items into a single summary metric (e.g., mean). Such statistical representation has been suggested to be automatic, but at which stage it is extracted is unknown. Here, we examined the involvement of the subcortex in the processing of summary statistics. We presented an array of circles dichoptically or monocularly while matching the number of perceived circles after binocular fusion. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that interocularly suppressed, invisible circles were automatically involved in the summary statistical representation, but only when they were presented to the same eye as the visible circles. This same-eye effect was further observed for consciously processed circles in Experiment 3, in which the estimated mean size of the circles was biased toward the information transmitted by monocular channels. Together, we provide converging evidence that the processing of summary statistics, an assumed high-level cognitive process, is mediated by subcortical structures.

    Abstract In clinical practice, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is always repaired by the single-beam reconstruction method. Before the surgery, the surgeon made the diagnosis based on medical images, such as CT (computerized tomography) and MR (magnetic resonance) images. However, little is known about how biomechanics governs the biological nature for femoral tunnel position. In the present study, three volunteers' motion trails were captured by six cameras when they were doing squat movement. The medical image can reconstruct the structure of the ligaments and bones and a left knee model was reconstructed by MIMICS by MRI data of DICOM format. Finally, the effects of different femoral tunnel positions on ACL biomechanics were characterized by the inverse dynamic analysis method. The results showed that there were significant differences in the direct mechanical effects of the anterior cruciate ligament at different locations of the femoral tunnel (
