In order to solve the inherent problems of low bonding strength between face and core, a new double triangular truss core sandwich structure with reinforced frame is proposed, and the face and core are melt connected by thermoplastic composite carbon fiber reinforced polyether ether ketone (CF/PEEK). The response of the new double-triangular truss core sandwich structure under three-point bending load is investigated by both theoretical and finite element methods. Firstly, the theoretical prediction equation of bending stiffness and strength of double-triangular truss core sandwich structure is established, and the failure mechanism diagram is constructed.

In this article, the mediating effect of brain gray matter volume (GMV) between overweight/obesity and social communication (SC) was investigated through the analysis of the relationship between overweight/obesity and SC in autism spectrum disorder children. In total, 101 children with ASD aged 3-12 years were recruited from three special educational centers (Yangzhou, China).

We finally assigned 30 preschool children with ASD to an experiment group ( = 15, 12 males, 3 females) or a control group ( = 15, 13 males, 2 females). The experiment group participated in a 12-week MBTP (40-min sessions per day, 5 days a week), while the control group only received the institutional routine behavioral rehabilitation intervention.
