Research on the Defect Detection Method of Steel-Reinforced Concrete Based on Piezoelectric Technology and Weight Analysis by Yilong Yu, Yulin Dong, Yulong Jiang, Fan Wang, Qianfan Zhou, Panfeng Ba

“…Aiming at the complex internal working conditions of steel-reinforced concrete structures, this paper proposes an active detection method for the internal hollow defects of steel-reinforced concrete based on wave analysis by using the driving and sensing functions of piezoelectric ceramic materials. The feasibility was verified through the single-condition detection test, revealing the propagation and attenuation characteristics of the stress wave signal under various detection conditions, and it was applied to the damage identification of steel-reinforced concrete rectangular section columns. …”

Construction and clinical visualization application of a predictive model for mortality risk in sepsis patients based on an improved machine learning model by Ting Chen, Xuefeng Zhang, Qunfeng Yu, Qin Yang, Lingmin Yuan, Fei Tong

“…A Self-Weighted Self-Evolutionary Learning Model (SWSELM) was developed to identify independent risk factors for sepsis mortality and to create a visualization system for clinical application.ResultsThe improved algorithm significantly outperformed other algorithms on 23 standard test functions. The SWSELM model achieved ROC-AUC and PR-AUC values of 0.9760 and 0.9624, respectively, on the training set, and 0.9387 and 0.9390, respectively, on the test set, both significantly higher than those of three other prediction models. …”

N-Acetyl-cysteine and Mechanisms Involved in Resolution of Chronic Wound Biofilm by Xin Li, Jane Kim, Jiabin Wu, Alaa’ I Ahamed, Yinsheng Wang, Manuela Martins-Green

“…In addition, we show that both the acetyl and carboxylic groups play key roles in NAC functions. The results presented here provide insight into the mechanisms by which NAC dismantles biofilm and how it could be used to treat chronic wounds after debridement (NAC applied at the start of culture) or without debridement (NAC applied when biofilm is already formed). …”
