    Abstract With the advent of the big data era, architectural design gradually tends to become more quantified and intelligent. This study proposes a novel green design method for energy-saving buildings based on a BP neural network. This study changed the traditional trial–error mode by evaluating energy consumption based on design performance parameters such as building shape, space, and interface. Instead, energy consumption quota values obtained from statistical data, as well as thermal parameters and energy system parameters in energy-saving standards, were taken as input parameters, and then the design scheme of building shape can be obtained through BP neural network technology. Based on data of 61 hotel buildings in a representative city among a hot summer and cold winter climate zone, the BP neural network model is established to control the building design variables, with 41 kgce/m 2 ·a as its energy-saving design target. Through the energy consumption quota, the trained BP network is applied to predict the optimal architectural design parameters, including the building orientation angle, shape coefficient, window–wall ratio, etc., for twelve building typologies in an area range of 5000~60,000 m 2 . With recommended control thresholds of quantifiable architectural design elements obtained, this research can provide effective design decision-making suggestions for architects.

    Abstract In a power system with highly proportional renewable energy integration, the power generated by photovoltaic (PV) of high permeability and high proportion needs to be connected to the distribution network through the power electronic inverter. The inverters can generate the low-order harmonic and high-order harmonic near the switching frequency. Harmonic power will be generated when the harmonic current flows through the power grid with the harmonic voltage of the same frequency, and the additional harmonic losses caused should not be neglected. To effectively analyze the voltage quality and calculate the harmonic loss of the low-voltage distribution network integrated with distributed PV, based on the harmonic loss factor of resistance proposed, the harmonic impedance modeling and harmonic loss calculation method for the key equipment of the power grid, such as lines and transformers, are introduced in this paper firstly. Next, a decoupling algorithm of harmonic power flow is proposed, and the influence of the access capacity of PV on voltage quality and line loss of the distribution network is analyzed. Finally, a harmonic loss calculation method based on measured harmonic data of the distribution network is proposed. It is found that the harmonic loss of the low-voltage distribution network accounts for about 0.6% of the total network loss. Therefore, voltage quality can be improved and line loss can be reduced effectively by reasonable access to PV and reducing harmonic order and the current harmonic distortion.

    Abstract This paper focuses on reconstruction of dynamic velocity and displacement from seismic acceleration signal. For conventional time-domain approaches or frequency-domain approaches, due to initial values and non-negligible noise in the acceleration signal, drift and deviation in velocity and displacement are inevitable. To deal with this deficiency, this paper develops a Walsh transform and Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD)-based integral algorithm, or WATEBI in short. In the WATEBI algorithm, the Walsh transform is employed to realize vibration signal reconstruction. Next, the EMD method is used to eliminate the residual in the reconstructed signal. Finally, the trend term in velocity and displacement is removed by linear least-squares fit. This algorithm can be straightforwardly implemented by an ordinary computer. Reconstructed displacements and velocities from vibration of a simulated single-degree-of-freedom system and two-site measured ground motions in earthquakes validated the robustness and adaptiveness of this algorithm. It can be also applied to many other areas, like mechanical engineering and ocean engineering.

    Abstract Objective: Postmenopausal women are prone to develop cardiovascular disorders. In addition, cardiovascular risk in women can be influenced by the long-term prescription of drugs that lead to estrogen deprivation, e.g., aromatase inhibitors, and that can cause dyslipidemia. Little is known about the impact of exemestane, an aromatase inhibitor, on serum lipids' concentration in women. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the influence of this pharmacological agent on the lipid profile in women.
    Methods: The Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed/Medline and EMBASE databases were searched by two surveyors for manuscripts published from the inception of these databases until April 3rd, 2023. No language restrictions were applied to the search. The random effects model was used to generate the combined results as weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
    Results: In total, 8 eligible RCTs were included in the meta-analysis. Overall results from the random effects model indicate that exemestane administration increases LDL-C (WMD: 4.42 mg/dL, 95 % CI: 0.44, 8.41, P = 0.02) and decreases HDL-C (WMD: -6.03 mg/dL, 95 % CI: -7.77, -4.29, P < 0.001) and TC (WMD: -5.40 mg/dL, 95 % CI: -9.95, -0.86, P = 0.02) levels, respectively. Moreover, exemestane prescription only lowered TG concentrations when it was administered for < 12 months (WMD: -14.60 mg/dL, 95 % CI: -23.57 to -5.62, P = 0.001).
    Conclusion: Currently available evidence suggests that the administration of exemestane in females increases LDL-C values and reduces HDL-C, TC, and, when prescribed for less than 12 months, TG concentrations.

    Abstract Background: Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) is a group of diseases that involves more than one underlying disease and is accompanied by moyamoya vascular phenomena. Psoriasis is a chronic immune skin disease closely linked to high blood pressure and heart disease. However, psoriasis-related MMS has not been reported.
    Case summary: We collected data on patients with stroke due to MMS between January 2017 and December 2019 and identified four cases of psoriasis. Case histories, imaging, and hematological data were collected. The average age of the initial stroke onset was 58.25 ± 11.52 years; three cases of hemorrhagic and one case of ischemic stroke were included. The average duration from psoriasis confirmation to the initial MMS-mediated stroke onset was 17 ± 3.56 years. All MMS-related stenoses involved the bilateral cerebral arteries: Suzuki grade III in one case, grade IV in two cases, and grade V in one case. Abnormally elevated plasma interleukin-6 levels were observed in four patients. Two patients had abnormally elevated immunoglobulin E levels, and two had thrombocytosis. All four patients received medication instead of surgery. With an average follow-up time of 2 years, two causing transient ischemic attacks occurred in two patients, and no hemorrhagic events occurred.
    Conclusion: Psoriasis may be a potential risk factor for MMS. Patients with psoriasis should be screened for MMS when they present with neurological symptoms.

    Abstract This study contributes to the field of sustainability by analyzing changes in firms following the adoption of new environmental protection laws to meet community sustainability needs. Focusing on the Chinese context, it examined the relationship between firms' environmental protection measures (i.e., corporate green behavior) and profitability (i.e., corporate tax avoidance). The moderating roles of environmental uncertainty and digital technology application in this relationship were also investigated. The findings offer insights into the complex dynamics linking firms' environmental initiatives to their business outcomes and financial decisions within the framework of a sustainable community. Ultimately, this study highlights the importance and implications of sustainable practices for both the environment and corporate financial performance. Firms' environmental behaviors are enablers of sustainable communities by deploying natural resources and creating a more resilient economy through active community participation in green production models.

    Abstract Transferrin-conjugated polymersomes, transferrin-biotin/avidin/biotin-Pluronic F127-poly(lactic acid) (Tf-F127-PLA), were successfully prepared through a biotin-avidin bridging technique to study their ability to inhibit multidrug resistance of cancer cells. Hydrophilic doxorubicin (DOX) was selected as the model drug to be loaded into Tf-F127-PLA polymersomes. DOX loaded in Tf-F127-PLA polymersomes was released fast initially, followed by a slow release. The effect of the transferrin ligand density of Tf-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes on their targeting properties was studied by both cytotoxicity and cellular uptake assays against A549 lung cancer cells. It was shown that Tf-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes had better targeting ability than nontargeted drug-loaded polymersomes. Furthermore, Tf-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes with 2% Tf molar content have more effective antitumor activity and a higher cellular uptake than those with 4 and 5% Tf molar content. 2% Tf-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes also exhibited better anticancer ability in multidrug resistant cancer cells A549/ADR than nontargeted PLA-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes. It was further proved that the endocytosis of polymersomes by A549/ADR cells was an energy-dependent endocytosis process, which was related to clathrin, macrocytosis, and caveolin. Also, the endocytosis of Tf-F127-PLA/DOX polymersomes was proven to be mediated by the transferrin receptor.
