Analysis of Supply Factors of the Migrant Workers Based on Comprehensive Fuzzy Evaluation

The factors affecting the supply of the migrant workers are very complex, which is difficult to use a specific number to demonstrate due to factors such as different groups of people, different time and different degrees of effect. This paper adopts the comprehensive fuzzy evaluation method to simulate the main factors affecting the supply of migrant workers including income, cost, expectancy, having a quantitative analysis of their influence on the labor supply of migrant workers.

Study on Distortional Buckling of Cold-Formed Stainless Steel Beams

In the current research, distortional buckling of cold-formed stainless steel open-section beams was investigated. Four-point bending tests of eight C-section stainless steel beams, made of S30401 alloy, were carried out with global and local buckling precluded by careful design of specimen and test rigs. A detailed finite element model based on ABAQUS was developed and verified against test data. Parametric study was carried out with the verified model, covering four types of sections (C, Z, SupaCee, and SupaZed), three stainless steel alloys (S30401, S44330, S32101), and a series of section slenderness. A convenient method to identify distortional buckling point in either experimental or numerical study was discussed. Existing design formula for stainless steel and steel structure were assessed with the available data. Revised formula based on Direct Strength Method was proposed

A Preliminary Study on Stainless Steel Hollow Flange Beams Featuring Lateral-Distortional Buckling

To explore the potential of using stainless steel structurally, extensive research has been carried out to study the structural behavior of stainless steel member as associated with the nonlinear stress-strain relationship. Hollow flange sections feature improved structural efficiency and a unique issue of web distortion. Steel hollow flange sections have been studied and commercially distributed (e.g. the very first HFB section and lately LSB section). As a proactive study, this paper investigates stainless steel hollow flange beams of double-symmetric section with numerical modeling and parametric analysis. The validity of the idealized FE model was verified with existing study on steel counterparts. Specifically, three alloys (S30401, S44330, S32101) and a series of sections and membe

Accurate Reconstruction of Molecular Phylogenies for Proteins Using Codon and Amino Acid Unified Sequence Alignments (CAUSA)

Based on molecular clock hypothesis, and neutral theory of molecular evolution, molecular phylogenies have been widely used for inferring evolutionary history of organisms and individual genes. Traditionally, alignments and phylogeny trees of proteins and their coding DNA sequences are constructed separately, thus often different conclusions were drawn. Here we present a new strategy for sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree reconstruction, codon and amino acid unified sequence alignment (CAUSA), which aligns DNA and protein sequences and draw phylogenetic trees in a unified manner. We demonstrated that CAUSA improves both the accuracy of multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic trees by solving a variety of molecular evolutionary problems in virus, bacteria and mammals. Our results support the hypothesis that the molecular clock for proteins has two pointers existing separately in DNA and protein sequences. It is more accurate to read the molecular clock by combination (additive) of these two pointers, since the ticking rates of them are sometimes consistent, sometimes different.

Collision-induced Hopf-type bifurcation reversible transitions in a dual-wavelength femtosecond fiber laser

Collision refers to a striking nonlinear interaction in dissipative systems, revealing the particle-like properties of solitons. In dual-wavelength mode-locked fiber lasers, collisions are inherent and periodic. However, how collisions influence the dynamical transitions in the dual-wavelength mode-locked state has still not been explored. In our research, dispersion management triggers the complex interactions between solitons in the cavity. We reveal the smooth or reversible Hopf-type bifurcation transitions of dual-color soliton molecules (SMs) during collision by real-time spectral measurement technique of TS-DFT. The reversible transitions from stationary SM to vibrating SM, revealing that cavity parameters pass through a bifurcation point in the collision process without active external intervention. The numerical results confirm the universality of collision-induced bifurcation behavior. These findings provide new insights into collision dynamics in dual-wavelength ultrafast fiber lasers. Furthermore, the study of intermolecular collisions is of great significance for other branches of nonlinear science.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

Patient Dropout Prediction in Virtual Health: A Multimodal Dynamic Knowledge Graph and Text Mining Approach

Virtual health has been acclaimed as a transformative force in healthcare delivery. Yet, its dropout issue is critical that leads to poor health outcomes, increased health, societal, and economic costs. Timely prediction of patient dropout enables stakeholders to take proactive steps to address patients' concerns, potentially improving retention rates. In virtual health, the information asymmetries inherent in its delivery format, between different stakeholders, and across different healthcare delivery systems hinder the performance of existing predictive methods. To resolve those information asymmetries, we propose a Multimodal Dynamic Knowledge-driven Dropout Prediction (MDKDP) framework that learns implicit and explicit knowledge from doctor-patient dialogues and the dynamic and complex networks of various stakeholders in both online and offline healthcare delivery systems. We evaluate MDKDP by partnering with one of the largest virtual health platforms in China. MDKDP improves the F1-score by 3.26 percentage points relative to the best benchmark. Comprehensive robustness analyses show that integrating stakeholder attributes, knowledge dynamics, and compact bilinear pooling significantly improves the performance. Our work provides significant implications for healthcare IT by revealing the value of mining relations and knowledge across different service modalities. Practically, MDKDP offers a novel design artifact for virtual health platforms in patient dropout management

Study on Section Capacity of Stainless Steel Lipped-C Beam-Columns

This paper aims to explore the buckling behavior and the section capacity of cold-formed stainless steel lipped-C stub beam-columns under combined axial compression and uniaxial bending. A total of 24 stub columns were tested comprising two sets of sections designed to fail by distortional buckling mode and local buckling mode respectively. Two alloys, austenitic S30401 and duplex S32205, were employed in the experiments. Three loading eccentricity levels (none, small and large) were designed to produce different stress gradients within the tested sections. Refined finite element models were established with ABAQUS and validated with the detailed test results. A systematic geometric and material nonlinear analysis were then carried out covering two alloys, four plate thicknesses, four local/distortional buckling slenderness levels and five loading eccentricity levels. Lastly, based on the current Direct Strength Method (DSM) design expression, the modified expression for the section capacity prediction was proposed which suits both stainless steel columns and beam-columns of lipped-C sections
