    Informationization plays an important role in modern life and production. And various software is one of the bases for it. Before it goes into service, software needs to go through many steps, including software development, design, etc. In software development, test is the key to identify and control bugs and errors in the software. Therefore, software companies often test the software to ensure that it is qualified. In recent years, more attention has been paid to a multi-platform computer software testing method, which can make up for defects in traditional testing methods to improve test accuracy. Firstly, this paper illustrates the connotation and features of software testing. Secondly, common software testing platforms and their requirements are analyzed. Finally, this paper proposes software testing method based on multiple platforms

    Direct-written polymer micro/nanofiber from Near- Field ElectroSpinning (NFES) was utilized as shadow-mask to fabricate uniform micro/nanometer-channel. Both Single straight microfiber (line-width 2~10?? m) and nanofiber (diameter 200~800nm) were direct-written on the substrate with the NFES setup, and then 2-nm-thick titanium adhesive layer and 10-nm- thick gold layer were sputtered on the substrate successively. By the ultrasonication process in acetone and de-ionized water, the polymer fiber was removed and micro/nanometer-channel with gap width ranging from 7?? m to 700nm was formed. The fabrication process and related technical issues were also outlined in this work. The experimental results revealed that the micro/nanometer channel had a good uniformity, above 90% of the gap length value lied within the deviation range of ±3%. This simple and facile method can be used to define the uniform micro/nano channel for organic thin film transistors. submicron-gap electrode by using an electrospun single fiber as shadow-mask. This is a simple and cost-effective method, yet the nanofiber used as shadow-mask was obtained through the post-stretching process, which increased the complexity and uncertainty of fabrication process. In this paper, Direct-write (DW) technology (9) based on Near-Field ElectroSpinning (NFES) (10) was utilized to obtain single straight micro/nanofiber directly, and used as shadow- mask to fabricate micro/nanometer-channel. The gap length of micro/nanometer-channel was in the range of 700nm to 7?? m. The fabrication process and related technical issues were described, and then the uniformity of micro/nanometer-channel was also evaluated and discussed

    ObjectiveDepression is highly prevalent in adolescents and may have adverse social and health consequences. To investigate the effect of diet on the occurrence of depression in adolescents, this study examined the correlation between dietary patterns and depression in adolescents.MethodsA total of 853 participants were recruited in September to October 2022 in Taizhou, Zhejiang, China. The Chinese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 was used to assess the subjects’ depressive symptoms in the past 2 weeks. Relevant dietary information was obtained through a food frequency questionnaire. The associations between dietary patterns and the risk of depression were assessed using a logistic regression model.ResultsFour dietary patterns were identified by factor analysis, including the modern pattern, the snack-aquatic pattern, the traditional pattern, and the vegetarian pattern. The risk of mild depression among adolescents was higher in the Q2 and Q3 groups of the modern model than in the Q1 group of this type, and the risk of mild depression was higher in the Q4 group of the snack-aquatic model than in the Q1 group of this type; while the risk of moderate depressive symptoms was lower in the Q3 group of the vegetarian model compared with the Q1 group.ConclusionModern and snack-aquatic patterns are associated with an increased risk of depression in Chinese adolescents, and vegetarian patterns are associated with a reduced risk of depression. The current findings emphasize the importance of adolescents consuming moderate amounts of rice flour, adequate vegetables and fruits, and reducing snack intake

    A Bead-on-String (B-S) structure which consists of droplet and filament is generated based on electrohydrodynamic printing system. The formation process of the B-S structure is demonstrated and discussed. Subsequently, the influence of the substrate moving speed on the B-S structure is investigated. The size of the droplet in the B-S structure decreases with the substrate moving speed. When the substrate moving speed is higher than the jetting speed, satellite droplet will appear and its number increases with the substrate moving speed. The effect of the solution concentration on the deposited patterns is also studied. A continuous line is printed with 3 wt% PEO solution. The B-S structure is generated when the concentration of the PEO solution is within 5-15 wt%. Moreover, the size of the droplet decreases with the increasing of the solution concentration. At the concentration of 18 wt%, nanofiber is produced and a pattern similar to the B-S structure is deposited on the substrate

    Numerous studies have demonstrated that general anesthetics might damage the nervous system, thus, the effect of general anesthetics on the developing brain has attracted much attention. Dexmedetomidine (Dex) exhibits a certain neuroprotective effect, but the mechanism is obscure. In our study, pregnant rats on gestational day 20 (G20) were exposed to 3% sevoflurane for 2 h or 4 h, and the neuronal apoptosis in hippocampal CA1 region of the offspring rats was detected by quantification of TUNEL positive cells and cleaved-caspase3 (cl-caspase3). Different doses of Dex were intraperitoneally injected before sevoflurane anesthesia; then, the expression of apoptotic-related proteins including BCL-2, BAX and cl-caspase3 as well as amyloid precursor protein (APP, a marker of axonal injury), p-CRMP-2 and CRMP-2 were measured at postnatal days 0, 1and 3 (P0, P1, and P3, respectively). As an antagonist of the bone morphgenetic proteins (BMP) receptor, DMH1 was co-administered with sevoflurane plus Dex to investigate whether BMP/SMAD is associated with the neuroprotective effects of Dex. The results showed that prenatal sevoflurane anesthesia for 4 h activated apoptosis transiently, as manifested by the caspase3 activity peaked on P1 and disappeared on P3. In addition, the expressions of APP and p-CRMP-2/CRMP-2 in postnatal rat hippocampus were significantly increased, which revealed that prenatal sevoflurane anesthesia caused axonal injury of offspring. The long-term learning and memory ability of offspring rats was also impaired after prenatal sevoflurane anesthesia. These damaging effects of sevoflurane could be mitigated by Dex and DMH1 reversed the neuroprotective effect of Dex. Our results indicated that prenatal exposure to 3% sevoflurane for 4 h increased apoptosis and axonal injury, even caused long-term learning and memory dysfunction in the offspring rats. Dex dose-dependently reduced sevoflurane- anesthesia-induced the neurotoxicity by activating the BMP/SMAD signaling pathway

    Vitamin C-based cluster therapy, which involves the combined application of hydrocortisone, vitamin C, and thiamine (HAT), is a recently proposed new treatment option for sepsis on top of conventional treatment. This therapy has a strong theoretical basis, but its clinical efficacy remains inconclusive. This review summarizes the rationale for HAT therapy for sepsis and describes the evaluation of its efficacy in clinical observational studies and randomized controlled trials, with the aim of providing a reference for the future clinical practice application of HAT therapy in sepsis

    Distributed optimal tracking control for second-order multi-agent systems

    No full text
    In this paper, we study the optimal tracking problem for the multi-agent systems in which both the cost function and the tracking time are considered. The tracking problem is considered in two patterns: the first one has a virtual leader which is the root of the information graph; the second one has a time-varying leader whose dynamics is given in advance. Both of the patterns are on the condition that only a portion of the agents can get the state information of the leader. For the required tracking time, an open-loop optimal controller is obtained using Pontryagins minimum principle and only depends on the relative information with respect to the neighboring agents. Considering the disturbance in the initial conditions or in the control input, it is necessary to convert the open loop control into the feedback optimal control by regarding the initial state as the current state and setting the initial time equal to the current time. Finally, the validity of the result is illustrated through some numerical examples. ? 2014 TCCT, CAA.EI

    Abstract The associations of lean body mass (LBM) with elevated blood pressure (BP) and hypertension were controversial, and the causalities have never been shown. Mid‐upper arm muscle circumference (MAMC), an easily obtained anthropometric measurement, could provide an accurate estimate for LBM. Therefore, a prospective cohort study in general Chinese residents aiming to find out the relationship between LBM estimated using MAMC and hypertension risk was performed. Eight thousand one hundred eighty‐five eligible participants were included in the baseline analysis, among whom 3442 were subsequently selected into cohort analysis. MAMC was calculated using mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) and triceps skinfold thickness (TST). Associations of MAMC with BP values and hypertension prevalence were estimated by linear and logistic regression models. Associations with hypertension incidence were estimated by COX regression models, hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were given. Nonlinear relationship between MAMC and hypertension risk was estimated using restricted cubic spline method. Standardized coefficients of MUAC and TST were compared to estimate their strengths of associations with hypertension. Baseline analysis showed that after adjusted for confounders, the increase of systolic BP per standard deviation (SD) of MAMC were 1.97 mmHg (95%CI: 1.46, 2.48) and 1.63 mmHg (95%CI: 1.10, 2.16) respectively in men and women, and the increases of diastolic BP per SD were 1.58 mmHg (95%CI: 1.23, 1.92) and 1.08 mmHg (95%CI: 0.74, 1.42). Additionally, the association of MAMC with the prevalence of hypertension were also found in both men and women (OR = 1.36, 95%CI: 1.26, 1.47 in men; OR = 1.33, 95%CI: 1.22, 1.44 in women). Cohort analysis showed that MAMC increased the risk of hypertension (HR = 1.10, 95%CI: 1.01, 1.19 for men; HR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.06, 1.26 for women), and a trend of J‐shaped relationship was found. Additionally, the stronger associations of MUAC with both BP values and hypertension than that of TST were found in both baseline and cohort analyses. Findings in our study implied that we cannot neglect the capacity of LBM in predicting hypertension risk, and LBM estimates should be recommended in general health surveys or examinations
