To solve the issue of inconvenient and dangerous manual operation during the installation and removal of the main pipe plugging plate in the steam generator in nuclear power plants, a ten-degree-of-freedom plugging robot was designed in the present study that includes a collaborative robotic arm coupled with a servo electric cylinder. By establishing a joint coordinate system for the robot model, a D-H parameter model for the plate plugging robot was established, and the forward and inverse kinematics were solved. The volume level approximate convex decomposition algorithm was used to fit the steam generator model with a convex packet, and an experimental simulation platform was constructed.

Background: Accurate determination of infant mortality causes and understanding sociocultural factors influencing care-seeking behaviors are crucial for targeted interventions in resource-limited settings. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess the accuracy of verbal autopsy (VA) in ascertaining infant death causes and explore sociocultural determinants of infant mortality in Gujarat, India.

Materials And Methods: It was a mixed-method study with a retrospective cohort component for which data from 661 infant records were extracted from the main health office's database, with a subset of 328 infant deaths selected for verbal autopsy analysis.

Background: The cotton jassid, Amrasca biguttula, a dangerous and polyphagous pest, has recently invaded the Middle East, Africa and South America, raising concerns about the future of cotton and other food crops including okra, eggplant and potato. However, its potential distribution remains largely unknown, posing a challenge in developing effective phytosanitary strategies. We used an ensemble model of six machine-learning algorithms including random forest, maxent, support vector machines, classification and regression tree, generalized linear model and boosted regression trees to forecast the potential distribution of A.

Purpose: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), comprising unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction, is the most dangerous and fatal form of coronary heart disease. This study evaluates serum bile acids (BAs) and amino acids (AAs) as potential predictors of AMI in UA patients.

Patients And Methods: A total of 72 Non-Coronary Artery Disease (NCAD) patients, 157 UA patients, and 79 AMI patients were analyzed.
