Background/AimsIncreasing evidence shows involvement of psychological disorders in functional dyspepsia (FD), but how psychological factors exert their influences upon FD remains largely unclear. The purpose of the present study was to explore the brain-based correlations of psychological factors and FD.
MethodsBased on Fluorine-18-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography, the altered cerebral glycometabolism was investigated in 40 FD patients compared with 20 healthy controls during resting state using statistical parametric mapping software.
ResultsFD patients exhibited increased glucose metabolism in multiple regions relative to controls (P < 0.001, family-wise error corrected). After controlling for the dyspeptic symptoms, increased aberrations persisted within the insula, anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), middle cingulate cortex (MCC) and middle frontal cortex (midFC), which was related to anxiety and depression score. Interestingly, FD patients without anxiety/depression symptoms also showed increased glycometabolism within the insula, ACC, MCC and midFC. Moreover, FD patients with anxiety/depression symptoms exhibited more significant hypermetabolism within the above 4 sites compared with patients without anxiety/depression symptoms. 2012CB518501, 2014CB543203 and 2011CB707700, the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant No. 81471737, 81471811, 81471738, 81473602, 81227901, 81271644, 30930112, 81101036, 81371530, 81101108, 31200837, and 81371530
Exact compressed sensing (CS) recovery theoretically depends on a large number of random measurements. In this study, the authors present a novel CS measurement technique based on the cellular automata chaos (CAC) model. The proposed method selects original signal thresholding (OST) as its initial seed to realise CS signal coding. The benefits of CS coding with CAC-OST are that: (i) the signal compression ratio of this coding method can be far below the signal sparsity level and (ii) the signal can be recovered perfectly, even with slow CS measurements. This study reports some experiments that demonstrate the excellent performance of CAC-OST in CS coding.
Vibration and acoustic radiation of circular cylindrical shells are hot topics in the structural engineering field. However for a long period, this sort of problems is only limit to classical homogeneous boundary conditions. In this paper, the vibration of a circular cylindrical shell with elastic boundary supports is studied using modified Fourier series method, and the far-field pressure for a baffled shell is calculated by Helmholtz integral equation. Active control of vibration and acoustic radiation are carried out by minimizing structural kinetic energy and radiated acoustic power respectively. The influence of boundary conditions on the active control is investigated throughout several numerical examples. It is shown that the active control of vibration and acoustic for an elastically restrained shell can exhibit unexpected and complicated behaviors.
In the process of the coal technology development, anchor installation speed is one of the main factors that affect the rapid excavation. The anchor cable automatic mounting vehicle, which is developed on the basis of this, is a set of borehole, anchor installation, fastening, tensioning and other operations. It effectively improve the efficiency of anchor cable supporting. This paper mainly introduces the working principle, the main structure design and functional characteristics.
This paper mainly introduces the methods and advantages of creating three-dimensional entity by the user coordinate system (UCS). The example of the operation details the operation method and skill of the UCS entity . This makes the creation process of the 3D entity clear, simple, and quick.
