Abstract:

Objective, to investigate the correlation between abdominal aortic calcification and paravertebral muscle degeneration, and to explore possible common risk factors for both. Methods, all patients with lumbar spinal stenosis admitted to Hospital X for MC and CT examination from 2016 to 2024 were selected, and through screening and exclusion, a total of 352 patients with LSS were included in the study, which consisted of 202 males and 150 females aged 40-80 years, with a mean of 63.24 years. The degree of paraspinal muscle degeneration in lumbar MRI, the degree of abdominal aortic calcification in lumbar CT scanning, as well as the patient’s age, duration of LSS, glomerular filtration rate and other indicators were counted, and the distribution characteristics of abdominal aortic calcification and its correlation with paraspinal muscle degeneration were analyzed by the method of multiple regression. Results, of the 352 patients with LSS who were included to meet the criteria, the calcification group (151, 42.90%) and the non-calcification group (201, 57.10%). Mild, moderate and severe paravertebral muscle degeneration accounted for 56.53%, 28.69% and 14.77%, respectively. The AACS in patients with mild PD degeneration stage, moderate PD degeneration stage and severe PD degeneration, all showed a gradual increasing trend with age (P<0.001). Regression results showed that age, paravertebral muscle degeneration and eGFR were risk factors for AAC in patients with LSS. Conclusion, there was a significant correlation between abdominal aortic atherosclerotic calcification and paravertebral muscle degeneration (P<0.001), and the degree of PD degeneration can be used as an effective indicator for early warning of the occurrence of AAC in patients with LSS.

Abstract:

In today’s society, ancient cities, as important components of historical and cultural heritage and urban development, are receiving increasing attention for their protection, utilization, and management. This research mainly focuses on the construction of an evaluation system for the spatial historical evolution of ancient city streets and the corresponding management strategies. Through a comprehensive evaluation of the spatial issues and characteristics of the ancient city streets, a multi-dimensional evaluation system for the historical evolution of the ancient city space with a total of 13 indicator factors, including historicity, is constructed. Taking Suzhou Ancient City as an example for empirical analysis, five typical types of ancient city streets are identified. Finally, corresponding update strategies are proposed for different types, especially the utilization of biomaterials and the design of plant landscapes, providing more innovative and sustainable management suggestions for the revitalization planning of the ancient city.

Abstract:

In this paper, the structures of three phosphorus-containing organosilicon compounds, including N,N-di-methylenephosphoric acid n-propylamine (DPPA), N,N-di-methylenephosphoric acid aminopropyldimethylsilanol (DPDS), and N, N-di-methylenephosphoric acid aminopropyldimethylsilylene glycol (DPMS), have been designed by using a molecular dynamics simulation method. And the preparation of three phosphorus-containing organosilicon compounds was accomplished experimentally by using raw materials such as bisphenol A-type epoxy organosilicon, n-propylamine and phosphite. The structures of the above several substances were proved by means of characterization such as Fourier infrared spectroscopy, hydrogen NMR , and epoxy value. Molecular dynamics simulation analysis revealed that the bond lengths of N atoms to Si atoms, N atoms to O atoms, and N atoms to were 3.03 Å, 3.05 Å, and 2.85 Å, respectively. Si did not participate in the addition reaction, but the intermolecular interactions caused a change in the chemical environment of Si, which reduced intermolecular distances and made it easier for the phosphorus groups to aggregate. This study is very important for the development of new preparation strategies of phosphorus-containing organosilicon and the promotion of phosphorus-containing organosilicon industry.

Abstract:

Social network structural characteristics of top management (TMT) are important variables that affect the outcome of team functioning, and variability in network structural characteristics leads to variability in TMT performance. This paper analyzes TMT social network structure characteristics based on TMT’s social relationship network using machine learning techniques. The top management interlocking network and technological innovation (machine learning technology) are divided into dimensions respectively, and the machine learning technology is used as a mediating variable to establish a model of the mediating effect of machine learning technology between top management interlocking network and green innovation. Statistical analysis of sample data and structural characterization of TMT social relationship networks by machine learning technology are conducted, and regression equations are used to verify the research hypotheses. The test results of the mediating effect of utilized innovation and exploratory innovation covered by the machine learning technology show that the overall regression effect of the model is good ( =0.537, =0.579, F-statistical test is significant), i.e., the mediating variables, utilized innovation and exploratory innovation, positively affect the green innovation performance and are significant. Meanwhile, the heterogeneity and size of TMT’s social relationship network, as well as relationship strength and relationship quality all have a significant and positive effect on green innovation.

Abstract:

This study focuses on the Dingjiafen slope in Chuxiong City, China, with the aim of improving the accuracy of slope landslide risk prediction. Formulas for calculating the critical soil layer thickness at the onset of slope instability are derived based on the physical model of the slope. Using the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and ArcGIS, the critical and maximum soil layer thickness of each slope unit are calculated to predict potential landslide areas. FLAC-3D is employed to simulate and analyze the slope’s stability under natural conditions, and the numerical simulation results are compared with the predictions in ArcGIS. The findings reveal variations in the critical and maximum soil layer thickness among different slope units due to diverse topography. The slope units on both sides of the Chumeng Highway slopes, with a critical soil layer thickness ( ) between 1 and 3 meters, are connected, aligning with the results of FLAC-3D three-dimensional numerical simulation and the actual sliding positions on-site. Applying this method to simulate the soil layer thickness at the critical state for each slope unit enables slope stability prediction, offering a new perspective for the analysis and prediction of slope stability.

Abstract:

Food security is an important foundation of national security, and the fundamental of guaranteeing national food security lies in arable land protection. In order to realize the protection of arable land in the context of ecological civilization, this paper designs a governance framework for arable land protection based on supply, empowerment, and control on the basis of the trinity of arable land protection policy of quantity, quality, and ecology, and constructs a multi-objective land use structure optimization model, and obtains a scenario prognosis for the optimal allocation of the land use structure by using a hybrid genetic algorithm. Taking County A as the specific research object, it can be seen by predicting the land use structure under the natural development scenario of County A that, relative to the status quo in 2023, the predicted share of arable land in 2050 has the largest decrease of 0.49%, and the shares of garden land, forest land, grassland and water area have all decreased, which is mainly converted into construction land (increased by 0.78%). From the Pareto frontier solution of land ecological benefit objective and economic benefit objective, three typical schemes of land use structure optimization were obtained, among which, the optimization scheme of balanced development of economy and ecology balanced economic and ecological development balanced economic development and ecological protection, and was selected as the optimization scheme of this paper. The increase of arable land area in this scheme is 0.38%, much higher than the -2.46% in the unoptimized case, which is in line with the requirement of arable land retention and can be used as a reference for further optimization of arable land protection framework.

Abstract:

The popularity of network video service, which leads to the specification of the network video service quality is becoming more and more urgent, and human is the ultimate watch users of network video, Evaluation of human observers on the video’s perception of the situation is becoming more important, depending on the source video network video know nothing, you will need to refer to the participation of video quality evaluation algorithm. However, when the quality evaluation is done by human rating, it is time-consuming and laborious, so the computer is required to make an objective evaluation of the video. In the objective evaluation, the excellent performance of convolutional neural network based on deep learning in feature extraction contributes to the rapid development of the research field of video quality evaluation. However, the development of deep learning algorithms requires appropriate data sets for training and testing. The existing data sets are relatively small in scale and not comprehensive in terms of video content types and distortion types. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new data set to evaluate the quality of video without reference, expand the scale of the data set, expand the content and distortion type of the video. At the same time, considering the new development of network video services, the video resolution is positioned as high definition, and the original video sampling ratio is 4:2:2. The dataset is freely available to relevant researchers for scientific research.

Abstract:

Graph neural networks are an effective method for action recognition using human skeletal data, but previous recognition methods lack attention to spatial features. In order to improve this research deficiency, this paper conducts action recognition research based on ST-GCN. An action recognition network based on two-way skeletal joint information is proposed, where the human body is divided into various parts to calculate the representation vectors, and a graph convolutional neural network is trained to obtain the classification results. Attention mechanism is designed to minimize the effect of background noise, and data enhancement by means of flipping and shifting is performed to improve the model performance. Ablation experiments verify high accuracy when using both the attention mask matrix and the global self-attention mechanism, as well as when using both the joints network branching and the parts network branching. The model in this paper recognizes all 12 actions of the NW-UCLA dataset with accuracies higher than 92%, and the data enhancement effect is also verified.
