In recent years, there has been an increase in accidents involving vessels colliding with bridge piers. These ship–bridge collisions can result in tragic loss of life and severe damage to the bridge structure. To address this issue, a type of fender pile made of winding-formed glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) was proposed as a solution. In this article, three- and four-point bending tests were performed to compare and analyze the damage modes and load-carrying capacity of the fender piles at two different winding angles, namely 45° and 75°. Vertical impact test was simulated using ANSYS/LS-DYNA to verify finite element models. The results revealed variations in damage patterns and bending performance of GFRP piles under the two fiber winding angles. The simulation results suggest that GFRP fender piles can effectively increase the impact time of ship–bridge collisions and reduce the collision forces, thereby significantly improving the protection of bridge piers.

- Abstract
An event camera is a novel vision sensor that can capture per-pixel brightness changes and output a stream of asynchronous ``events''. It has advantages over conventional cameras in those scenes with high-speed motions and challenging lighting conditions because of the high temporal resolution, high dynamic range, low bandwidth, low power consumption, and no motion blur. Therefore, several supervised monocular depth estimation from events is proposed to address scenes difficult for conventional cameras. However, depth annotation is costly and time-consuming. In this paper, to lower the annotation cost, we propose a self-supervised event-based monocular depth estimation framework named EMoDepth. EMoDepth constrains the training process using the cross-modal consistency from intensity frames that are aligned with events in the pixel coordinate. Moreover, in inference, only events are used for monocular depth prediction. Additionally, we design a multi-scale skip-connection architecture to effectively fuse features for depth estimation while maintaining high inference speed. Experiments on MVSEC and DSEC datasets demonstrate that our contributions are effective and that the accuracy can outperform existing supervised event-based and unsupervised frame-based methods., Comment: Accepted by IROS2023

The continuous decline in the birth rate can lead to a series of social and economic problems. Accurately predicting the birth rate of a region will help national and local governments to formulate more scientifically sound development policies. This paper proposes a discrete-aware model BRP-Net based on attention mechanism and LSTM, for effectively predicting the birth rate of prefecture-level cities. BRP-Net is trained using multiple variables related to comprehensive development of prefecture-level cities, covering factors such as economy, education and population structure that can influence the birth rate. Additionally, the comprehensive data of China's prefecture-level cities exhibits strong spatiotemporal specificity. Our model leverages the advantages of attention mechanism to identify the feature correlation and temporal relationships of these multi-variable time series input data. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed BRP-Net has higher accuracy and better generalization performance compared to other mainstream methods, while being able to adapt to the spatiotemporal specificity of variables between prefecture-level cities. Using BRP-Net to achieve precise and robust prediction estimates of the birth rate in prefecture-level cities can provide more effective decision-making references for local governments to formulate more accurate and reasonable fertility encouragement policies.

- Abstract
Objective. To explore the value of the injury severity score (ISS) and the new injury severity score (NISS) for evaluating injuries and predicting complications (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and poor prognoses (in‐hospital tracheal intubation, extended length of hospital stay, ICU admission, prolonged ICU stay, and death) in patients with thoracic trauma. Methods. The data of consecutive patients with thoracic trauma who were admitted to the department of cardiothoracic surgery of a tertiary hospital between January 2018 and December 2021 were retrospectively collected. ISS and NISS were calculated for each patient. The study outcomes were complications and poor prognoses. The differences in ISS and NISS between patients with complications and poor prognoses and patients without the abovementioned conditions were compared using the Mann‒Whitney U test. Discrimination and calibration of ISS and NISS in predicting outcomes were compared using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and Hosmer‒Lemeshow (H‐L) statistic. Results. A total of 310 patients were included. ISS and NISS of patients with complications and poor prognoses were greater than those of patients without complications and poor prognoses, respectively. The discrimination of ISS in predicting pneumonia, respiratory failure, in‐hospital tracheal intubation, extended length of hospital stay, ICU admission, prolonged ICU stay, and death (AUCs: 0.609, 0.721, 0.848, 0.784, 0.763, 0.716, and 0.804, respectively) was not statistically significantly different from that of NISS in predicting the corresponding outcomes (AUCs: 0.628, 0.712, 0.795, 0.767, 0.750, 0.750, and 0.818, respectively). ISS showed better calibration than NISS for predicting pneumonia, respiratory failure, in‐hospital tracheal intubation, extended length of hospital stay, and ICU admission but worse calibration for predicting prolonged ICU stay and death. Conclusion. ISS and NISS are both suitable for injury evaluation. There was no statistically significant difference in discrimination between ISS and NISS, but they had different calibrations when predicting different outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, a HfO
2 coating was developed on an Ir matrix using a customized open-tube airflow, cold-wall chemical vapor deposition instrument. The preparation process and structure of the as-prepared coating were investigated to gain insights into its characteristics. The HfO2 coating effectively prevents direct contact between Ir and O, leading to a reduction in the oxidation rate of Ir. Furthermore, defects such as micropores and cracks generated during sealed oxidation erosion contribute to Ir's decelerated oxidation failure. The as-prepared HfO2 coating exhibits low thermal conductivity and a high heat radiation rate, reducing the coating's surface temperature. These characteristics significantly enhance adversity tolerance and increase the working temperature of the coating. Moreover, the as-prepared HfO2 coating can serve as a diffusion barrier, blocking both the direct contact of O with the Ir coating and the diffusion of other elements to the Ir coating. As a result, the rates of diffusion of other elements to the Ir coating are reduced. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

8. Camera-based 3D Semantic Scene Completion with Sparse Guidance Network.

- Abstract
Semantic scene completion (SSC) aims to predict the semantic occupancy of each voxel in the entire 3D scene from limited observations, which is an emerging and critical task for autonomous driving. Recently, many studies have turned to camera-based SSC solutions due to the richer visual cues and cost-effectiveness of cameras. However, existing methods usually rely on sophisticated and heavy 3D models to process the lifted 3D features directly, which are not discriminative enough for clear segmentation boundaries. In this paper, we adopt the dense-sparse-dense design and propose a one-stage camera-based SSC framework, termed SGN, to propagate semantics from the semantic-aware seed voxels to the whole scene based on spatial geometry cues. Firstly, to exploit depth-aware context and dynamically select sparse seed voxels, we redesign the sparse voxel proposal network to process points generated by depth prediction directly with the coarse-to-fine paradigm. Furthermore, by designing hybrid guidance (sparse semantic and geometry guidance) and effective voxel aggregation for spatial geometry cues, we enhance the feature separation between different categories and expedite the convergence of semantic propagation. Finally, we devise the multi-scale semantic propagation module for flexible receptive fields while reducing the computation resources. Extensive experimental results on the SemanticKITTI and SSCBench-KITTI-360 datasets demonstrate the superiority of our SGN over existing state-of-the-art methods. And even our lightweight version SGN-L achieves notable scores of 14.80% mIoU and 45.45% IoU on SeamnticKITTI validation with only 12.5 M parameters and 7.16 G training memory.

- Abstract
Neonicotinoids (NEOs), despite their widespread use as insecticides, exhibit a notable knowledge deficit in regards to their presence in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their surrounding environments. This study delves into the presence and disposition of 5 NEOs: Thiamethoxam (THM), Clothianidin (CLO), Imidacloprid (IMD), Acetamiprid (ACE), and Thiacloprid (THA) across 3 domestic WWTPs and their receiving waters. Notably, THM, CLO, and ACE were consistently detected in all water and sludge samples, with THM emerging as the most abundant compound in both influent and effluent. Among the 3 WWTPs, WWTP 2, employing a fine bubble oxidation process, achieved the highest removal efficiency, surpassing 68%, in contrast to WWTP 1 (CAST) at 37% and WWTP 3 (A/A/O) at 7%. Biodegradation played a pivotal role in NEO removal, accounting for 36.7% and 68.2% of the total removal in WWTP 1 and WWTP 2, respectively. Surprisingly, in WWTP 3, biotransformation process inadvertently increased ACE and CLO concentrations by approximately 4.1% and 4.5%, respectively. The total NEO concentration in the receiving surface waters ranged from 72.7 to 155.5 ng/L, while sediment concentrations were significantly lower, spanning between 0.10 and 1.53 ng/g. WWTPs serve as both a removal and concentration point for NEOs, thereby significantly influencing their transportation. Additionally, the concentration of most NEOs in the receiving waters progressively increased from upstream to downstream, highlighting the substantial impact of WWTP discharges on natural water environments. This research offers valuable insights into NEO pollution surrounding WWTPs in the Pearl River Delta, ultimately aiding in pollution control and environmental protection decisions., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Introduction: In recent years, hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) has attracted increasing attention. It usually causes liver abscesses, which spread through the bloodstream to other parts such as the eyes, brain, lungs. 5.5% of all paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity syndrome are associated with infection, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and some unknown causes. Younger patients with focal lesions of the brain parenchyma are at higher risk of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH)., Case Presentation: This case report details the clinical features of Klebsiella pneumoniae diagnosed in a healthy individual. In addition to liver abscesses, bacteremia, and hyperglycemia, there are also brain abscesses, hernias, and postoperative paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity, an unexpected association between diseases or symptoms. The patient stabilized after comprehensive treatment, including early drainage of abscesses, rapid pathogen diagnosis, and timely and appropriate antibiotics. At a two-month follow-up, no signs of infection recurrence were noted, and the patient regained neurological function and could participate in regular physical activity., Discussion: Symptoms of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection usually appear gradually, and misdiagnosis is common. When young patients suddenly develop high fever and abscess at a particular site, Klebsiella pneumoniae infection should be considered routine. Paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity syndrome caused by infection is rare, but a clinical score (PSH assessment measure, PSH-AM score) should be performed when clinical features appear. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis., Competing Interests: No Conflict of Interest is declared, (Copyright (c) 2024 Xuefang Liu, Ning Yu, Huaihai Lu, Yinlong Zhao, Junyu Zhu, Ya Liu.)
