The discharge characteristics of seawater batteries can be used to prolong the working hours of autonomous underwater observation vehicles. However, the output voltage level of the seawater battery is low, so it cannot directly be used to power supply underwater observation vehicles. In this paper, a boost converter is proposed based on the seawater batteries to power supply autonomous underwater observation vehicles. The proposed converter greatly increases the voltage level of the seawater battery and directly supplies the underwater observation vehicles. Compared with the traditional boost converter, the voltage gain of the proposed converter is more than ten times higher than it under the same duty ratio condition. Its structure is asymmetric interleaved parallel, which can enable power devices to obtain lower voltage stress and ensure that the input current ripple is low. The operating principle and homeostasis property of the proposed converter are analyzed in detail. Finally, a prototype is built. Through simulation and experiment, the correctness of the theoretical design is verified and experimental results are analyzed.

Microwave heating asphalt mixture is an auspicious method since it requires a minimum level of outside intervention. It has been a recent method with some certain advantages over conventional ones. To obtain the temperature field of microwave heating asphalt mixture utilizing an oblique horn antenna, the aperture field of the oblique horn antenna was deduced based on the Maxwell equations. The three-dimensional mathematical model of a microwave heating asphalt mixture was established by introducing a position relation of the horn caliber called an oblique horn antenna, and the calculation results were simplified and verified by experiments. The results showed that the calculated values of the mathematical model tally with the experimental outcomes. The model is found to be accurate and reliable.

Background. Endotracheal intubation is a widely used treatment. Excessive pressure of the endotracheal tube cuff leads to a series of complications. Here, we used tracheae of sheep to analyze the relationship between the air injection volume and endotracheal tube cuff pressure so as to guide the doctors and nurses in controlling the pressure of the endotracheal tube cuff during clinical work and minimise the risk of complications. Materials and Methods. Forty sheep tracheae were utilised and were divided into five groups according to their diameters. Different sizes of endotracheal tubes were inserted into each trachea, and the cuff pressure with the increase of air injection volume was recorded. The formulas that reflect the relationship between air injection volume and cuff pressure were obtained. Then, sheep tracheae were randomly selected; different types of tubes were inserted, and the stipulated volume of air was injected. The actual pressure was measured and compared with the pressure predicted from the formulas. Statistical analysis was conducted to verify whether the formulas obtained from the first part of the experiment were in accordance with the expert evaluation table, which consists of opinions of several experts. Results. After obtaining 15 formulas, we collected the differences between the theoretical cuff pressure and the actual cuff pressure that satisfied the expert evaluation. Relying on the formulas, the medical turntable was obtained, which is a tool that consists of two round cards with data on them. The top card has a notch. The two cards are stacked together, and as the top card rotates, the data on the bottom card can be easily seen in a one-to-one relationship. Conclusion. The formulas are capable of showing the relationship between the cuff air injection volume and pressure of endotracheal tube cuff. The medical turntable can estimate the air injection volume to ensure that the pressure stays in an acceptable range.

In order to deeply understand the requirements of artificial in the evaluation of high school reading behavior education, first of all, we compare the differences between reading behavior evaluations empowered by artificial intelligence and unwritten reading evaluations. Subsequently, the connotation of intelligent educational evaluations is revealed and combined. And skill education evaluation is divided into comprehension diagnosis evaluation. Libraries are places for the dissemination of (appellation) wisdom, the might office for the promotion of inn editions, and can provide a multifariousness of lection resources. The aware classroom of the library is to use communicative slaves to transfer readers to enjoy reading, to extract valuable scholarship from compacted documents, and to have the capability to exactly decay and solve problems. By insert the artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, manifold intelligent technologies such as arrange learning and semantic web last to emerge. The intelligent evaluation display plan for intelligently assists the English version of reading evaluation in high schools provides more subjective and accurate evaluations for English reading classroom readings, reduces teachers’ knowledge pressure, and improves students’ timely and effective erudite audio feedback.

Coronary artery stents are tubular structures employed together with angioplasty. Stented angioplasty is a clinical procedure widely applied in the treatment of atherosclerosis to reopen the blocked artery. It is a simple and fast curing minimally invasive clinical procedure. However, it is essential to understand the expansion characteristics of a stent before implantation since the stent geometry, inflating pressure, etc., influence the performance of stents. Finite element analysis and in vitro experiments are simultaneously employed before clinical testing to predict the characteristics during deployment. In this paper, the expansion and deployment characteristics of Meril Osum coronary stent and Envision stent were investigated to study the influence of strut connector on the expansion behaviour of the stent by experimental and computational methods. The current study analyzes the real-time deployment characteristics such as rate of expansion, stress on stent, recoil, dog boning, and foreshortening. The stent expansion characteristics obtained from experiments and simulations were found matching and observed that strut connector has a significant effect on stent expansion. Further, the curved connector of small radius of curvature shows better performance with high patency rate.

Purpose. The goal of this study was to see if electroacupuncture was effective and safe in the management of cerebral infarction. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were used to conduct a comprehensive literature survey. Methods. Basic features of 7 studies were identified using the searching strategy. The investigation was found in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, with the most recent search being in March 2022. “Electroacupuncture,” “cerebral infarction,” and their permutations were among the MeSH terms and free words used. As literature, two reviewers independently used a standardized form to gather pertinent data from qualifying research. Results. 157 literatures were identified and evaluated. Electroacupuncture improved the BI score in individuals with cerebral infarction (, 95 percent CI: 0.00-0.20, ). Electroacupuncture enhanced BI score in individuals with cerebral infarction (, 95 percent CI: 0.00-0.20, ). The effects of electroacupuncture increased Fugl-Meyer index in patients with cerebral infarction (, 95% CI: 25.28-26.56, ). Electroacupuncture effects decreased CSS in patients with cerebral infarction in the experiment group (, 95% CI: -2.53–-1.67, ). Electroacupuncture also reduced CSS individuals with cerebral infarction in the control group; however, there was no statistically significant (, 95 percent CI: 0.02-0.13, ). Conclusion. This study demonstrated that electroacupuncture helped decreased CSS in patients with cerebral infarction.
