In this paper, an aging small-signal model for degradation prediction of microwave heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) -parameters based on prior knowledge neural networks (PKNNs) is explored. A dual-extreme learning machine (D-ELM) structure with an adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA) optimization process is used to simulate the fresh -parameters of InP HBT devices and the degradation of -parameters after accelerated aging, respectively. In addition to the reliability parametric inputs of the original aging problem, the -parameter degradation trend obtained from the aging small-signal equivalent circuit is used as additional information to inject into the D-ELM structure.

Previous cross-sectional studies have shown that adolescents who perceive parental depression after an earthquake are more likely to experience PTSD. However, the mechanism underlying this process remains unclear and previous studies have not examined the association between these factors.

Methods: A follow-up investigation was conducted of 424 adolescent survivors of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake at 12 months (T1) and 27 months (T2).
Background: Network analytic studies indicate that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) may be comorbid with depression at the symptom level, but it remains unclear whether these findings are replicable and generalizable across trauma types.
Objective: This study aim was to examine and compare PTSD-depression comorbidity networks of two types of trauma related to Typhoon Lekima and COVID-19 epidemic.
Methods: Participants were 1605 and 601 adolescents recruited following Typhoon Lekima and the COVID-19 outbreak, respectively.

: Various studies have examined the psychological 'typhoon eye' and 'ripple' effects in mental disorders following COVID-19. However, these studies only considered the disorders as entities and assessed severity, and overlooked the differences in specific symptoms of disorders. : This aim of the study is to assess the psychological typhoon eye and ripple effects at the symptom-level in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is considered as a common psychopathology following the COVID-19 epidemic.

Herein, a porous silicon-carbon (pSi-C) composite derived from paper mill sludge (PMS) is synthesized and used for rapid iodine capture. The influences of the activator type, the impregnation ratio of the paper mill sludge to the activator, carbonization temperature, and carbonization time on the properties of the pSi-C composite are investigated.

The purpose of this research was to determine the serum miR-632 levels in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) and to investigate its diagnostic and prognostic value. We detected serum miR-632 levels in 162 LSCC patients and 42 healthy volunteers.

The prevalence and predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and comorbid PTSD/depression among adolescents were unclear after the Jiuzhaigou earthquake.
