The external factor variable connectivity index (EFVCI) is interpreted by mining out the structural features hidden in the space spanned by the EFVCI indices through projection pursuit combining with number-theory net (NT-net) on the unit sphere U(Us). Projection pursuit is concerned with "interesting" projections of high-dimensional data sets to machine-pick "interesting" low-dimensional projections of a high-dimensional point cloud by numerically maximizing a certain objective function or projection index. At first, the optimal EFVCI index reaches to -0.80 in the correlation with a retention index of 207 hydrocarbons produced by insects. The EFVCI indices, with regression results of R = 0.99998, s = 3.49, RMSECV = 3.90, and F = 7.9560e+005, obtain high regression quality. The model is proven valid by leave-one-out cross validation. Second, the EFVCI index is interpreted by the structure information, that is, size, branch number, graph center, and branching position of topological structures, which is searched out on the unit sphere U(Us) by projection pursuit. Finally, the interpretation information is used to discover some chemical knowledge concerning the variation of the retention index with the change in chemical structures.

Alkali and sulfate effects on mechanical properties and microscopic mechanisms of slag and fly ash geopolymers.

College of Hydraulic and Civil Engineering, Xinjiang Agricultural University, Urumqi, 830052, Xinjiang, People's Republic of China.

Aiming at the problem that it is difficult to realize low-cost, high-performance and large-scale utilization of cementitious materials prepared from bulk solid wastes, this paper constructs a set of composite cementitious system based on alkaline activation of slag and fly ash (FA) by calcium carbide slag (CCS) and synergistic activation of sodium sulfate (NaSO) as a chemical dopant. The influence of factors such as solid waste type, mixing ratio, and NaSO content on the mechanical properties of composite cementitious systems was investigated by assessing compressive strength and analyzing microstructure using XRD, SEM-EDS, and FTIR. The test results indicate that CCS and NaSO exert significant influences on the strength of the composite cementitious system.

Unlabelled: Introduction Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life-threatening condition that requires swift diagnosis and tailored management to enhance patient outcomes. In the pursuit of more precise prognostic indicators, Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) and Pulmonary Arterial Systolic Pressure (PASP) have emerged as potential significant advancements. The TAPSE/PASP ratio, a novel parameter, has recently gained attention as a promising predictor of outcomes in acute heart failure.

Background: Acute subdural hematoma (ASDH) is a critical and often fatal condition, particularly in elderly patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. With a growing global aging population, the incidence of traumatic brain injuries, including ASDH, is projected to rise, presenting significant challenges in clinical management. This study evaluates the outcomes of surgically treated ASDH in patients aged 65 years and older, comparing those who received anticoagulant therapy with those who did not.

Key Laboratory of Integrated Regulation and Resources Development on Shallow Lakes of Ministry of Education, College of Environment, Hohai University, Nanjing, 210098, China.

Cyanobacterial blooms in shallow lakes pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for advanced predictive methodologies. As impounded lakes along the Eastern Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, Lakes Hongze and Luoma play a key role in water resource management, making the prediction of cyanobacterial blooms in these lakes particularly important. To address this, satellite remote sensing data were utilized to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of cyanobacterial blooms in these lakes.
