Linear and nonlinear axial behaviour of internal replacement pipe systems for pipeline rehabilitation

Internal replacement pipe (IRP) is an innovative trenchless technology for the rehabilitation of legacy steel and cast-iron pipelines. This advanced IRP system must be properly designed so that it can safely and effectively restore the service of damaged pipelines. This paper studies the axial behaviour of IRP systems for repairing pipelines with circumferential host-pipe discontinuities under seasonal and extreme levels of temperature change. Analytical solutions along with a total of 270 linear and nonlinear finite element (FE) simulations, validated against experimental results and available closed-form solutions, were used for a parametric study on the effects of geometrical and material properties on axial stresses and deformations of IRP systems subjected to temperature change. Effects of the internal pressure, material and geometric nonlinearities, and different modes of IRP-host pipe unbonding were also investigated. An analytical model was developed for the prediction of temperature change induced loading and response of the IRP system. Using the results obtained from a comprehensive FE-based parametric study, three modification factors were extracted for the application to the developed analytical model in order to accurately predict the maximum axial stress of IRP and the opening of a circumferential host-pipe discontinuity subjected to various levels of temperature change.

Smart homes: pioneering age-friendly environments in China for enhanced health and quality of life.

Traditionally, China has been more reliant on a model of care that ensures older adults are cared for by family members. Whilst promoting the idea of older adults ageing in their own homes is essential, the provision of in-home care must shift from primarily relying on family caregivers to a model that places greater emphasis on gerontechnologies and enhanced healthcare service delivery. In this perspective article we argue for the adoption of a 'smart home' model in aged care in China. The smart home model argues for innovative technologies to older adult care, such as virtual support groups, video-conferencing, and electronic health records; assistive technologies that can safely maintain independence and assist with daily living such as sensors, wearables, telehealth, smart home technologies as well as interactive robotic technologies for mobility and cognitive support such as humanoid robots, rehabilitation robots, service/companion robots. The adoption and implementation of gerontechnologies have been slow, with only a handful of solutions demonstrating proven effectiveness in supporting home care. The utilisation of such digital technologies to support and enable older adults in China to age-in-place can bring a significant contribution to healthy ageing. Nonetheless, it's crucial to focus on co-creating with end-users, incorporating their values and preferences, and enhancing training to boost the adoption of these gerontechnologies. Through a smart home model of care, China can age-in-place more effectively, leading to significant contributions to healthy ageing.

An Improved BGE-Adam Optimization Algorithm Based on Entropy Weighting and Adaptive Gradient Strategy

This paper introduces an enhanced variant of the Adam optimizer—the BGE-Adam optimization algorithm—that integrates three innovative technologies to augment the adaptability, convergence, and robustness of the original algorithm under various training conditions. Firstly, the BGE-Adam algorithm incorporates a dynamic β parameter adjustment mechanism that utilizes the rate of gradient variations to dynamically adjust the exponential decay rates of the first and second moment estimates (β1 and β2), the adjustment of β1 and β2 is symmetrical, which means that the rules that the algorithm considers when adjusting β1 and β2 are the same. This design helps to maintain the consistency and balance of the algorithm, allowing the optimization algorithm to adaptively capture the trending movements of gradients. Secondly, it estimates the direction of future gradients by a simple gradient prediction model, combining historic gradient information with the current gradient. Lastly, entropy weighting is integrated into the gradient update step. This strategy enhances the model’s exploratory nature by introducing a certain amount of noise, thereby improving its adaptability to complex loss surfaces. Experimental results on classical datasets, MNIST and CIFAR10, and gastrointestinal disease medical datasets demonstrate that the BGE-Adam algorithm has improved convergence and generalization capabilities. In particular, on the specific medical image gastrointestinal disease test dataset, the BGE-Adam optimization algorithm achieved an accuracy of 69.36%, a significant improvement over the 67.66% accuracy attained using the standard Adam algorithm; on the CIFAR10 test dataset, the accuracy of the BGE-Adam algorithm reached 71.4%, which is higher than the 70.65% accuracy of the Adam optimization algorithm; and on the MNIST dataset, the BGE-Adam algorithm’s accuracy was 99.34%, surpassing the Adam optimization algorithm’s accuracy of 99.23%. The BGE-Adam optimization algorithm exhibits better convergence and robustness. This research not only demonstrates the effectiveness of the combination of these three technologies but also provides new perspectives for the future development of deep learning optimization algorithms.

Students’ engagement is a fundamental challenge in large classrooms in higher education. In recent years, innovative technologies such as electronic learning and online polling platforms have made learning more engaging, effective, and interactive. By using these platforms, educators can create more inclusive and enriching learning environments. This paper presents a novel approach in which an online technology is employed to enhance students’ learning experience. In this approach, features of an online polling platform, i.e., Slido, are employed to enhance students’ engagement in an engineering module, i.e., ‘Mechanics of Solids’, which is recognised as a fundamentally challenging module with difficult subjects. This study investigates how the interactive features of such technologies, such as real-time polls, question and answer (Q&A) sessions, and quizzes, can provide a more active and practical learning environment by improving student engagement in the classroom. In total, six online polls were designed: one for ice-breaking, two on the topics of shear forces and bending moment, two on stresses, and one on deflection. Each poll was presented to the students, and they participated in them by scanning a QR code or typing the poll’s code online. The rate of students’ participation in polls is extensively discussed to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. The findings of this study show a significant increase in student participation in classroom activities compared to traditional methods. Student feedback also indicates a positive learning experience with the use of the proposed approach. It is shown that the proposed approach has the potential to transform the way engineering students engage with challenging subjects, leading to enhanced learning outcomes and a more positive learning experience.

Acidic Electrolyzed Water Maintains the Storage Quality of Postharvest Wampee Fruit by Activating the Disease Resistance.

Harvested wampee fruit is susceptible to disease, resulting in postharvest losses. Acidic electrolyzed water (AEW), a safe and innovative sterilization technology, plays a role in enhancing disease resistance in harvested produce. In this study, the efficacy of AEW in delaying wampee disease development was assessed, along with its association with disease resistance metabolism. Wampee fruit was treated with AEW (pH 2.5) at different available chlorine concentrations (ACCs) (20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/L) and subsequently stored at 25 °C for 8 days. Results revealed that 40 mg/L ACC in AEW (pH 2.5) was most effective in improving the postharvest quality of wampee fruit. Compared with control wampee fruit, those treated with 40 mg/L ACC in AEW exhibited lower incidence of fruit disease, higher pericarp lignin content, and higher activities of pericarp disease resistance enzymes (DREs), such as cinnamate-4-hydroxylase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase, polyphenol oxidase, 4-coumarate CoA ligase, and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase. These results suggested that AEW elevated DRE activities, promoted lignin accumulation, and ultimately enhanced disease resistance, suppressed disease development, and improved storage quality in harvested wampee fruit. Consequently, AEW emerged as a safe technology to mitigate the disease development and enhance the storage quality of harvested wampee fruit.

Health Messaging Strategies for Vaping Prevention and Cessation Among Youth and Young Adults: A Systematic Review

ABSTRACT This systematic review evaluates health messaging strategies for the prevention and cessation of e-cigarette use among youth and young adults. Health messaging strategies were defined as the strategic process of developing messages with the intent to shape, reinforce, or change recipients’ health attitudes and behaviors. McGuire’s Communication/Persuasion Model guided the analysis of the messaging strategies, focusing on the model’s five communication inputs (i.e. source, message, channel, audience, destination) and 14 persuasive outcomes. Nine databases were searched from January 2007 to September 2023. The inclusion criteria encompassed studies in English that presented quantitative data on messaging strategies aimed at discouraging vaping among youth and young adults. Each study was also coded for study characteristics and the utilization of theory. Out of 6,045 studies, 25 met the inclusion criteria. The reviewed studies exhibit a diverse array of research methods and a consistent integration of theories. The review emphasizes the nuanced main and interaction effects of various communication inputs, such as message features and audience characteristics, while also pointing out a research gap in message sources. In addition, the utilization of social media for effective messaging to engage the audience requires further research. Only one study specifically evaluated messaging strategies for vaping cessation. More research is imperative to develop targeted and tailored messages that effectively prevent and reduce vaping, especially among populations at higher risk of vaping-related harms, while also leveraging effective channels and innovative communication technologies to engage the audience.
