Malaysia is widely credited to have achieved universal health coverage for citizens. However, the accessibility of healthcare services migrant workers questionable. Recently, medical fees foreigners at public facilities were substantially increased. Mandatory insurance only covers hospital admissions and excludes undocumented migrants. This study explores barriers access faced by documented in Malaysia.We use qualitative data from 17 in-depth interviews conducted with key informants civil...

Landslides frequently occur along the eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau, which poses a risk to construction, maintenance, and transportation proposed Dujiangyan city Siguniang Mountain (DS) railway, China. Therefore, four advanced machine learning models, namely, Bayesian network (BN), decision table (DTable), radial basis function (RBFN), stochastic gradient descent (SGD), are in this study delineate landslide susceptibility zones. First, inventory map was randomly divided into 828 (75%)...

This study employs an improved delayed detached eddy simulation method to examine the open-water performance and wake evolution of a propeller with notched blades, using unstructured grid 52.5 × 106 cells. The numerical method's validity was confirmed by comparing computed thrust torque coefficients, as well flow field, experimental data. findings reveal that blades significantly reduce propeller's hydrodynamic accelerate instability. notches introduce substantial disturbances in surrounding...

Objective: To explore the association between lifestyle behavior and risk of overweight depression comorbidity in children aged 7 to 9 years Tianjin City. Methods: The random cluster sampling was used conduct a baseline survey among 1 632 7-year-old 2021, follow-up then conducted 2023. Age, gender were collected at follow-up, physical examination symptom evaluation also performed. Four behavioral factors, including sugary beverage intake, activity, screen time duration, sleep included...

Facial expressions, as a vital conduit for human emotional expression, are among the most observable features of machines in field computer vision. Consequently, facial expression recognition holds broad potential applications artificial intelligence and health monitoring, others. Given diversity complexity development efficient accurate models is significant importance. This paper systematically reviews foundational knowledge related research recognition, analyzing application current...

Abstract An unsteady model has been developed for evaluating deposition behavior and aerodynamic performance degradation under the impact of hot streak. The results reveal that streak alters force exerted by mainstream, impacting particles. For particles 1 µm, total numbers uniform inlet case, vane-aligned passage-aligned case are 431, 1244, 325 on pressure side. Hot clocking effect significantly affects particle temperature deposit formation. In mass fraction suction side increases from...

Tracking control is an essential capability for nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots (NWMR) to achieve autonomous navigation. This paper presents a novel hybrid strategy combined mode-based and actor-critic based deep reinforcement learning method. Based on the Lyapunov method, kinematics law named given obtained with pose errors. Then, tracking problem converted finite Markov decision process, in which defined state contains current errors, inputs one-step After training deterministic policy...

With the intensification of climate change, extreme low temperature incidents have become more frequent and severe. In Huang-Huai-Hai wheat growing area China, late spring coldness occurred at jointing-booting stage (anther interval stage) has resulted in significant yield losses winter wheat. As an attempt to develop economical, feasible efficient cultivation technique for improving (LT) resistance wheat, here we explored effects twice-split application phosphorus on antioxidant...

The goal of this manuscript is to investigate the influence relative distance between twin rotors on hydrodynamic performance vertical axis twin-rotor tidal current turbine. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations based commercial software ANSYS-CFX have been performed enhance understanding interactions twin-rotors. are known increased power output efficiency as a whole, and it is, therefore, great significance undertake deeper research. simulation results found be consistent with...

In the field of pipeline inner wall inspection, snake robot demonstrates significant advantages over other inspection methods. While a simple traveling wave or meandering motion will suffice for inspecting small-diameter pipes, comprehensively and meticulously large-diameter pipes requires to adopt helical gait that closely adheres wall. Our review existing literature indicates most research development on robots has focused outer surface cylinders, with very few studies dedicated developing...

Objective Yunnan Province, located in southwest China, is one of the poorest province China. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) about twice national average (56.2/100 000 live births), and remote mountainous regions, rate five times higher. This study aimed to examine progress reduction 1990s early 2000s factors associated with this Yunnan. Design A population‐based, longitudinal, ecological correlation study. Setting China a proportionately large indigenous population. Population...
