prevention and management. Here we reported the screening, clinical feathers, and treatment process of a family cluster involving three COVID-19 patients. The discovery of the first asymptomatic carrier in this family cluster depends on the repeated and comprehensive epidemiological investigation by disease control experts. In addition, the combination of multiple detection methods can help clinicians find asymptomatic carriers as early as possible. In conclusion, the prevention and control experience of this family cluster showed that comprehensive rigorous epidemiological investigation and combination of multiple detection methods were of great value for the detection of hidden asymptomatic carriers.
Based on the current situation of high precision and comparatively low APA (absolute positioning accuracy) in industrial robots, a calibration method to enhance the APA of industrial robots is proposed. In view of the "hidden" characteristics of the RBCS (robot base coordinate system) and the FCS (flange coordinate system) in the measurement process, a comparatively general measurement and calibration method of the RBCS and the FCS is proposed, and the source of the robot terminal position error is classified into three aspects: positioning error of industrial RBCS, kinematics parameter error of manipulator, and positioning error of industrial robot end FCS. The robot position error model is established, and the relation equation of the robot end position error and the industrial robot model parameter error is deduced. By solving the equation, the parameter error identification and the supplementary results are obtained, and the method of compensating the error by using the robot joint angle is realized. The Leica laser tracker is used to verify the calibration method on ABB IRB120 industrial robot. The experimental results show that the calibration method can effectively enhance the APA of the robot.
Air–sea heat flux is one of the most important factors that affects ocean circulation, weather, and climate. Satellite remote sensing could serve as an important supplement to the sparse in situ observations for heat flux estimations. In this study, we analyze the uncertainty of the turbulent heat fluxes derived from wind speed measured by the Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS) over the global tropical oceans at different time scales. In terms of spatial distribution, there is large uncertainty (approximately 50 to 85 W·m−2 in the RMSE) near the equator in the western Pacific Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and near the Gulf of Guinea. The turbulent heat fluxes are in agreement with the buoys in representing the intraseasonal and seasonal variability, but more specific regional validations are needed for revealing the synoptic and sub-synoptic phenomena and the diurnal cycle. The uncertainty of the CYGNSS wind speed contributes approximately 50–57% to the uncertainty of the estimation of turbulent heat fluxes at the frequency band with a typical period of 3–7 days. In addition, the input sea surface temperature, rather than the wind speed, results in differences in the estimation of the monthly mean turbulent heat fluxes in the tropical Atlantic Ocean based on the COARE 3.5 algorithm. In conclusion, although the CYGNSS-derived turbulent heat fluxes are basically in good agreement with the in situ observations, our analysis highlights the importance of considering the limitations of these datasets, particularly in high wind speed conditions and for higher-frequency variations, including at synoptic, sub-synoptic, and diurnal time scales.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
