Experimental study on steady-state operation of organic Rankine cycle system under different operating conditions.

In this study, the effects of six operating conditions on the performance of a 3 kW- ORC (organic Rankine cycle) system were investigated. The results of experiments show that, despite differences in the physical parameters of the three working fluids used, the performance of the ORC system was similar. Further, the cooling water temperature (CWT) was strictly controlled, but the experimental results were affected by the condensation temperature, however the experimental system can maintain stable operation.

Association between asthma and cardiovascular disease: evidence from the national health and nutrition examination survey 1999-2018.

Background: Cardiovascular disease(CVD) remains a significant global challenge. Asthma, which is characterized by airway hyperresponsiveness and reversible and limited airflow, plays an important role in cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between asthma and CVD.

Optimizing tobacco quality and yield through the scientific application of organic-inorganic fertilizer in China: a meta-analysis.

China is the largest producer and consumer of tobacco ( L.) in the world, and the cultivation and production of tobacco have extremely high economic value and social influence. Applying organic-inorganic fertilizer is a key strategy for boosting tobacco yield and quality.

Interpretable machine learning for identifying overweight and obesity risk factors of older adults in China.

Objective: To estimate the importance of risk factors on overweight/obesity among older adults by comparing different predictive model.

Methods: Survey data from 400 older individuals in China was employed to assess the impacts of four domains of risk factors (demographic, health status, physical activity and neighborhood environment) on overweight/obesity. Six machine learning algorithms were utilized for prediction, and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) was employed for model interpretation.
