Abstract:

Background: Despite proven efficacy of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke, there has been slow administration of these therapies in the real world practice. We examined the ongoing quality improvement in acute stroke care at our comprehensive stroke center. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke from 2013 to 2018 were studied. Patients were managed using Code Stroke algorithm per concurrent AHA guidelines and a simple quality improvement protocol implemented in 2015. Demographics and clinical data were c

Abstract Based on the YOLOv5s-Ghost model, the changes in the number of channels and feature scales of the YOLOv5s-Ghost model, as well as the structure and function of GhostConv convolution, were studied. It was found that the YOLOv5s-Ghost model has insufficient information extraction and a YOLOv5s-EGhost model with fewer model parameters and higher detection accuracy was designed. GhostConv convolution has the functions of compressing channels and downsampling. The YOLOv5s-Ghost model has a lower number of channels at low channels, and each channel doubling of the model is accompanied by a

Abstract:

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) water solution was electrospun using both needle electrospinning and needleless electrospinning methods. Finer and uniform nanofibers were obtained from disc and coil electrospinng, when compared to those of conventional needle electrospinning. The finest nanofibers were 217±86 nm and 234±82 nm in diameter from disc and coil electrospinning respectively, while fibers from needle electrospinning was 296±36 nm when the applied voltage was 12kV. However, needle electrospinning produced nanofibers with a more uniform diameter distribution.

Abstract:

This paper assesses residential environment induced preference heterogeneity regarding ecosystem services improvements of a river basin by comparing urban and rural residents’ welfare estimates. In a choice experiment, the ecological improvements are described in terms of several observable ecological indicators set in an experimental design. Given the fact that economic and environmental conditions differ for urban and rural residents in China, the utility they derive from ecological restoration is hypothesized to differ. The urban and rural residents’ survey data were modeled separately usin

The results show that under 4500V bias voltage, the turn-on and turn-off dV/dt of the SiC transistor are 428.5V/ns and 23.9V/ns, respectively. And the tailing problem in the turn-off process is obvious. In order to improve the switching characteristics of SiC optically controlled transistor, the minority carrier lifetime in base layer is regional controlled.

In this communication, we investigate the performance of the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) in many-objective optimization scenarios pertaining to joint radar and communication functionality. We introduce five objectives relevant to sensing and secure communications and develop a cost function where these objectives can be individually prioritized by a user. We consider three scenarios: Radar Priority, Communication Priority, and All (Objectives) Equal; we then demonstrate the optimization results using an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) radarcom signal.

However, although there was a significant improvement in densification levels attainable before decomposition, the improvements were insufficient to produce near-fully or fully dense samples.
