• Study the cross-dock truck scheduling problem with uncertain truck arrival and operation times. • The concept of conflict is introduced to characterize the robustness of schedule. • Two robust optimization models are formulated without depending on probabilistic information. • An exact solution approach, i.e., column and constraint generation algorithm, is proposed. • Computational experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm and models. This paper studies the cross-dock truck scheduling problem, which considers the uncertainty of trucks' arrival and operational times. We introduce a concept named conflict and present a two-stage optimization model, aiming at minimizing the total cost and number of conflicts. Furthermore, an extended model by introducing K-means clustering is presented, for which the performance guarantees are provided to validate its efficiency. A column and constraint generation algorithm, which is proved to converge in a finite number of iterations, is designed to solve the developed models. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted to validate the performance of the developed models and algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The PetroChina Changqing Oilfield Company has successfully achieved large-scale economical development of continental low-pressure freshwater lake interlayer shale oil in the Ordos Basin, China, targeting the gravity-flow sandstone thin interlayers in the organically rich mud shale formation of the seventh member of Yanchang Formation (Chang 7 Member) of Triassic,. Their significant discovery of the 1-billion-tonlevel Qingcheng shale oil field, with a proven reserve of 1.052 × 109 t, has marked the establishment of China's first million-ton shale oil development zone. However, the extensive growth in production and construction has brought attention to notable challenges, including geological variances, low initial production, rapid decline, low recovery rates, and high development costs. Based on extensive field experience, this paper identifies several technological issues in shale oil development and offers comprehensive recommendations through systematic analysis. The encounter rate of horizontal shale oil wells, crucial for enhancing individual well productivity, can be improved both vertically and horizontally by prioritizing the extension direction of high-quality reservoirs during the deployment of horizontal wells. The contribution of fracturing fluid elasticity to the recovery rate is relatively low. Reservoir modification should not overemphasize large sand volume, fluid volume, or discharge. Additionally, optimizing parameters such as well spacing, vertical interlayer distribution, and fracture development is essential for maximizing the efficiency of fracturing scale, operation discharge, and other parameters. Variability in hydrocarbon source rock quality and the strength of diagenesis significantly impact oil saturation in sand bodies, affecting the selection of favorable areas and the distribution of highquality reservoirs. Furthermore, the utilization of pre-fracturing with CO2 proves to be an effective approach in reducing viscosity and increasing the ultimate recovery rate. To ensure the efficient development of shale oil in the Changqing Oilfield, this paper emphasizes the necessity of deepening integrated geological studies, clarifying the main controlling factors of shale oil heterogeneous accumulation, and meticulously depicting three-dimensional sweet spots while exploring more effective development methodologies.

Heart rate variability (HRV) has been widely used in clinical research to provide an insight into the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system. Measurement of HRV is generally performed under a relaxed resting state. The effects of other conditions on HRV measurement, such as running, mountaineering, head-up tilt, etc, have also been investigated. This study aimed to explore whether an inflation-and-deflation process applied to a unilateral upper arm cuff would influence the HRV measurement. Fifty healthy young volunteers aged between 21 and 30 were enrolled in this study. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals were recorded for each subject over a five minute resting state followed by a five minute external-cuff-inflation-and-deflation state (ECID state). A one minute gap was scheduled between the two measurements. Consecutive RR intervals in the ECG were extracted automatically to form the HRV data for each of the two states. Time domain (SDNN, RMSSD and PNN50), frequency domain (LFn, HFn and LF/HF) and nonlinear (VLI, VAI and SampEn) HRV indices were analyzed and compared between the two states. In addition, the effects of mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) on the aforementioned HRV indices were assessed for the two states, respectively, by Pearson correlation analysis. The results showed no significant difference in all aforementioned HRV indices between the resting and the ECID states (all p > 0.05). The corresponding HRV indices had significant positive correlation (all p < 0.01) between the two states. None of the indices showed MAP-related change (all p > 0.05) for either state. Besides, none of the indices showed HR-related change (all p > 0.05) for either state except the index of VLI in the resting state. To conclude, this pilot study suggested that the applied ECID process hardly influenced those commonly used HRV indices. It would thus be applicable to simultaneously measure both blood pressure and HRV indices in clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background and Objectives: Our study aimed to explore the therapeutic effects of surgical clipping and endovascular embolization on the recovery of oculomotor nerve paralysis (ONP) caused by posterior communicating artery aneurysm (PcomAA). Methods: The clinical data of patients with intracranial PcomAA and ONP were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were treated with surgical clipping or endovascular embolization, then followed up for no less than 12 months. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the potential risk factors influencing ONP recovery. Results: Among 128 patients of ONP caused by PcomAA, 96 patients were treated with surgical clipping and 32 patients with endovascular embolization, respectively. Time from initial ONP onset to complete or partial recovery was 85.3 ± 36.8 days for patients receiving surgical clipping, and 135.7 ± 41.3 days for patients treated with endovascular embolization. The recovery rate was 94 (97.9%) in the surgical clipping group and 22 (68.8%) in the endovascular embolization group, and significant difference was shown between the two groups (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that the complete or partial recovery of ONP in the surgical clipping group was significantly better than that in the endovascular embolization group (OR, 5.582; 95%CI, 2.023-15.405; P <0.001). Moreover, time from initial symptom onset to receiving treatment also affect ONP recovery (OR, 0.893; 95% CI, 0.820-0.972; P = 0.009). Conclusion: Surgical clipping was superior to endovascular embolization in the recovery of ONP caused by PcomAA, and patients who received early intervention could result in better ONP recovery.

Highlights • A surface error numerical modeling methodology is proposed to evaluate both offline and online mirror surfaces. • A close-loop assembly process can optimize the mounting induced error within 200 nm. • Gravity's positive effect on the surface error provides more reasonable selective assembly strategy for large laser transport mirrors. Abstract Surface errors of mounted large optics have significant impacts on laser performance in high power laser system. However, in SG-III inertial confinement fusion (ICF) laser system, it is really tough to realize the minimized surface error and satisfy the design criterions. In this paper, the compositions and corresponding causes of complicated surface topographies are analyzed systematically. Surface decoupling, reconstruction and fitting methods are proposed successively and constitute an integrated surface modeling methodology to visualize and evaluate both offline and online mirror surfaces. Further, we present a closed-loop "mounting – inspection – optimization" assembly process based on the combination of interferometric measuring, finite element simulation and digital reconstruction, which will lead the mounting induced surface error of the large optics to meet the wavefront criterions. Through a case study of the large aperture laser transport mirror, the proposed approach is proved to have good performance on both improving optical mounting performance and obtaining accurate surface features.

This paper proposed a new entropy measure, Fuzzy Measure Entropy (FuzzyMEn), for the analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) signals. FuzzyMEn was calculated based on the fuzzy set theory and improved the poor statistical stability in the approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn). The simulation results also demonstrated that the FuzzyMEn had better algorithm discrimination ability when compared with the recently published fuzzy entropy (FuzzyEn), The validity of FuzzyMEn was tested for clinical HRV analysis on 120 subjects (60 heart failure and 60 healthy control subjects). It is concluded that FuzzyMEn could be considered as a valid and reliable method for a clinical HRV application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Background Currently, the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the reference standard for diagnosis of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) but is limited by its invasiveness and availability. Purpose To investigate a vascular geometric model for noninvasive diagnosis of CSPH (HVPG ≥10 mm Hg) in patients with liver cirrhosis for both contrast-enhanced CT and MRI. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, consecutive patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent HVPG measurement from August 2016 to April 2019 were included. Patients without hepatic diseases were included and marked as non-CSPH to balance the ratio of CSPH 1:1. A variety of vascular parameters were extracted from the portal vein, hepatic vein, aorta, and inferior vena cava and then entered into a vascular geometric model for identification of CSPH. Diagnostic performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results The model was developed and tested with retrospective data from 250 patients with liver cirrhosis and 273 patients without clinical evidence of hepatic disease at contrast-enhanced CT examination, including 213 patients with CSPH (mean age, 49 years ± 12 [SD]; 138 women) and 310 patients without CSPH (mean age, 50 years ± 9; 177 women). For external validation, an MRI data set with 224 patients with cirrhosis (mean age, 49 years ± 10; 158 women) and a CT data set with 106 patients with cirrhosis (mean age, 53 years ± 12; 71 women) were analyzed. Significant reductions in mean whole-vessel volumes were observed in the portal vein (ranging from 36.9 cm
3 ± 16.0 to 29.6 cm3 ± 11.1; P < .05) and hepatic vein (ranging from 35.3 cm3 ± 21.5 to 22.4 cm3 ± 15.7; P < .05) when CSPH occurred. Similarly, the mean whole-vessel lengths were shorter in patients with CSPH (portal vein: 1.7 m ± 1.2 vs 3.0 m ± 2.4, P < .05; hepatic vein: 0.9 m ± 1.5 vs 1.8 m ± 1.5, P < .05) than in those without CSPH. The proposed vascular model performed well in the internal test set (mean AUC, 0.90 ± 0.02) and external test sets (mean AUCs, 0.84 ± 0.12 and 0.87 ± 0.11). Conclusion A contrast-enhanced CT- and MRI-based vascular model was proposed with good diagnostic consistency for hepatic venous pressure gradient measurement. ClinicalTrials.gov registration nos.

- Abstract
Purpose To develop and validate a computational model for estimating hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) based on CT angiographic images, termed virtual HVPG, to enable the noninvasive diagnosis of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis. Materials and Methods In this prospective multicenter diagnostic trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02842697), 102 consecutive eligible participants (mean age, 47 years [range, 21-75 years]; 68 men with a mean age of 44 years [range, 21-73 years] and 34 women with a mean age of 52 years [range, 24-75 years]) were recruited from three high-volume liver centers between August 2016 and April 2017. All participants with cirrhosis of various causes underwent transjugular HVPG measurement, Doppler US, and CT angiography. Virtual HVPG was developed with a three-dimensional reconstructed model and computational fluid dynamics. Results In the training cohort (n = 29), the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of virtual HVPG in the prediction of clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) was 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58, 1.00). The diagnostic performance was prospectively confirmed in the validation cohort (n = 73), with an AUC of 0.89 (95% CI: 0.81, 0.96). Inter- and intraobserver agreement was 0.88 and 0.96, respectively, suggesting the good reproducibility of virtual HVPG measurements. There was good correlation between virtual HVPG and invasive HVPG (R = 0.61, P < .001), with a satisfactory performance to rule out (7.3 mm Hg) and rule in (13.0 mm Hg) CSPH. Conclusion The accuracy of a computational model of virtual hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) shows significant correlation with invasive HVPG. The virtual HVPG also showed a good performance in the noninvasive diagnosis of clinically significant portal hypertension in cirrhosis. © RSNA, 2018 Online supplemental material is available for this article.

- Abstract
Diastolic time (DT) may reflect the functioning status of cardiac relaxation/diastolic filling. Previous studies shown that beat-to-beat variation in RR interval (i.e., HRV) is preferentially expressed in the variation in DT series, raising up a question that whether DT possesses intrinsic variation, or whether the DT variation is simply a surrogate of HRV without additional information. In this study, we defined the diastolic phase percentages (DP) by correcting DT by the corresponding RR interval and proposed to analyze DP variation (DPV) in order to eliminate the masking effect of HRV. We studied DPV of 60 patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and 60 healthy control subjects. Radial artery pressure (RAP) was monitored in synchrony with electrocardiography (ECG) for 5 min in order to extract the proposed DPV. Additionally, DPV was corrected by the individual mean DP level which resulted in the coefficient of DPV (cDPV). The differences in DPV and cDPV between the two groups were determined by linear regression models controlled for age and sex. Results showed that both DPV and cDPV increased significantly in CHF patients compared with healthy control subjects (both p <; 0.05). Those results, highly endorsing the existence of intrinsic physiological variation in DT, may suggest that CHF patients have less stable cardiac relaxation (that is not due to HRV) or/and less stable contractility (since the diastolic and systolic phases are mutually complementary). This study may provide helpful reference for the noninvasive evaluation of cardiac functionality and for the further understanding of multiple physiological variabilities.

- Abstract
Surface control of large-aperture transmission optics in both on-line working, and off-line testing, states is perceived as one of the most important requirements, and the largest engineering challenge, in high-power solid-state laser facilities. Consequently, a surface control apparatus and method was proposed based on the self-flexible force-moment technology and principle of load linearity, respectively. A series of analyses were conducted using the proposed apparatus and method both mechanically and numerically. Furthermore, the principle of phase mismatch induced by distortion and second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency was analysed theoretically. Finally, the trends of the surface RMS value and efficiency under different load regimes on certain loading states were deduced, and the trends in the best surface RMS value and efficiency of each loading state were analysed.
