An advanced Successive Derivative Shortest Path algorithm for concave cost network flow problems by Lu Yang, Zhouwang Yang

“…To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes the Successive Derivative Shortest Path (SDSP) algorithm, an efficient approach that combines a sequential linear approximation framework with regional first-order information of the objective function. By integrating regional first-order information and employing an interval reduction mechanism, the SDSP algorithm effectively avoids premature convergence to suboptimal solutions, thereby achieving higher-quality solutions. …”

Enhanced Tribological Properties of Ethylene Glycol-Based Lubricants by Nitrogen–Phosphorus Co-Doped Carbon Dots by Haiyang Wang, Zhongyi He, Kai Qiu, Liping Xiong, Lili Li, Jian Liu

“…Furthermore, increasing the concentration of eNP-CDs further reduced the friction coefficient of the base lubricant, and at its optimal concentration, it outperformed 6NP-CDs in terms of wear resistance and friction reduction. Molecular structure analysis indicates that the concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus atoms, as well as the chain length of functional groups, significantly influence friction characteristics. …”

Rotational changes and associated risk factors following intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly patients by Chao Han, Xiaodan Li, Zhe Han, Qiang Dong

“…At the 1-year follow-up, patients with smaller rotational displacement demonstrated better functional recovery. The multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that several factors showed significant correlations with rotational displacement of fracture fragments after intramedullary nail fixation, including the severity of medial cortical defects, presence of medial cortical disruption, T-scores ≤ −2.5, low-grade Singh's index classifications (I–III), diminished lateral wall thickness, inadequate TAD, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Harris Hip Score (HHS).ConclusionBone rotation and displacement are frequently observed following intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures. …”
