We investigate the problem of synthesizing distributionally robust control policies for stochastic systems under safety and reach-avoid specifications. Using a game-theoretical framework, we consider setting where probability distribution disturbance at each time step is selected from an ambiguity set defined by Wasserstein distance. The goal to synthesize policy that ensures satisfaction exceeds specified threshold any within set. First, both specifications, establish existence optimal...
Abstract Social contact surveys are an important tool to assess infection risks within populations, and the effect of non-pharmaceutical interventions on social behaviour during disease outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics. Numerous longitudinal were conducted COVID-19 era, however data analysis is plagued by survey fatigue, a phenomenon whereby average number contacts reported declines with repeat participations as participants’ engagement decreases over time. Using from German COVIMOD Study...
We aim to understand the current situation of first aid ability and training needs Chinese medical personnel provide a scientific basis for formulating contents methods emergency rescue thereby improve level personnel.A cross-sectional survey was conducted between June 2022 February 2023 using two-stage cluster sampling method with structured questionnaire sent workers in 12 provinces China. 14,527 questionnaires were included this study. Data collected on demographic characteristics,...
A novel wheelchair called PURE (Personalized Unique Rolling Experience) that uses hands-free (HF) torso lean-to-steer control has been developed for manual users (mWCUs). addresses limitations of current wheelchairs, such as the inability to use both hands life experiences instead propulsion. a ball-based robot drivetrain offer compact, self-balancing, omnidirectional mobile device. custom sensor system converts rider motions into direction and speed commands PURE, which is especially useful...

BACKGROUND: Talents are the basis of all development and comprehensive strength a country. As college students who about to contact society, their mental health social adaptability most critical factors for entry into society. OBJECTIVE: Therefore, this study explores correlation exercise style students. METHODS: Based on sample processing in 4 universities city, 1,000 selected research adaptability. In addition, impacts participating sports activities analyzed. RESULTS: When duration single...
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides millions of low-income Americans food benefits and other forms nutrition assistance. Evidence indicates that SNAP reduces insecurity. However, there is a concern the benefit may increase demand for less healthy foods more than healthier foods, thereby reducing overall nutritional quality participant's basket. This paper aims to examine association participation with food-at-home purchases households investigate potential...
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a worldwide public health concern. Mobile management platforms could be potential way to achieve effective glycemic control.This study aimed evaluate the real-world effectiveness of Lilly Connected Care Program (LCCP) platform in control among patients with T2DM China.This retrospective included Chinese (aged ≥18 years) from April 1, 2017, January 31, 2020, for LCCP group and 2015, non-LCCP group. Propensity score matching was used match groups reduce...
This study introduces the development of hands-free control schemes for a riding ballbot, designed to allow riders including manual wheelchair users its movement through torso leaning and twisting. The hardware platform, Personal Unique Rolling Experience (PURE), utilizes ballbot drivetrain, dynamically stable mobile robot that uses ball as wheel provide omnidirectional maneuverability. To accommodate with varying motion functions, hanads-free scheme should be adjustable based on rider's...
To use quantitative MRI to assess gender differences in lateral pterygoid muscle (LPM) characteristics patients with anterior disk displacement (ADD).
This study introduces a shared-control approach for collision avoidance in self-balancing riding ballbot, called PURE, marked by its dynamic stability, omnidirectional movement, and hands-free interface. Integrated with sensor array novel Passive Artificial Potential Field (PAPF) method, PURE provides intuitive navigation deceleration assistance haptic/audio feedback, effectively mitigating risks. addresses the limitations of traditional APF methods, such as control oscillations unnecessary...
Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic and response has focused on prevention, detection, response. Beyond morbidity mortality of those infected, pandemics carry secondary impacts, such as children orphaned or bereft their caregivers. Such often face adverse consequences, including poverty, abuse, delayed development, institutionalization. We provide estimates for the magnitude this problem resulting from describe need resource allocation.Methods: use fertility data to model rates...
Objective To introduce admission-discharging distributed management characteristics and practice in nurse station, to analyze the new process value improving nurse-patient friendliness. Methods The method of had been re-engineering which based on internet technology nursing compared patients satisfaction with status before. We explored utilization process. Results The patients′ were 96.0%, 97.0%, 94.0%, 98.0%, 90.0% for admission process, discharging payment method, service...
To assess the patency and complications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft for hemodialysis access to summarize experiences in treatment occlusions.The clinical data 30 patients who underwent forearm PTFE from March 2003 December 2008 our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Patients followed up (28.7+/-17.6) months (range: 8-78 months).The peri-operative mortality was zero. Primary rate 70.0% at Year 1 56.7% 2. Accumulative secondary 90.0% 80.0%, respectively Postoperative included...

Mobile phone cameras employ sensors with near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity, yet this capability has not been exploited for biomedical purposes. Removing the IR-blocking filter from a phone-based camera opens door to wide range of techniques and applications inexpensive, point-of-care biophotonic imaging sensing. This study provides proof principle one these modalities – NIR fluorescence imaging. An system was assembled using 780 nm light source along excitation emission filters 800 825 cut-off...
Objective To moral distress of nurses at department emergency basic hospital and influence their practice independence level on turnover intention, to provide some references for decreasing the nurses’ rate. Methods Cross-sectional study was performed 243 departments 9 non-third-class hospitals using cluster random sampling. Among nurses, 212 were from public hospitals, theother 31 private hospitals. Moral Distress Scale–Revised (MDS-R)and Dempster Practice Behavior Scale used...
Individuals with diabetes (DM) are at high risk of heart attack and other complications.
