Dynamical analysis of epidemiological models received significant attention after the global disaster of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although much of the attention has focused on choosing the appropriate model to describe and interpret the epidemiological data and on predicting the spread of the disease, working on uncovering the hidden dynamics by analyzing the predictive data and studying the algebraic properties of the models such as the invariant spaces, the center manifolds, and the Lyapunov functions in the general parameter space still have the potential to make a significant contribution to our understanding of the dynamics of spread. In this paper, in order to determine the recovery rate based on characteristic model parameters, the triangular probabilistic distribution is implemented in an epidemic delay differential equation with delays. By defining generic coefficients derived from field surveys and population characteristics, we propose a way to reduce the number of model parameters that need to be obtained during model fitting in order to find an effective way to handle the cultural and physiological diversity of societies and isolate the effect of counter measures for the epidemics.

As an effective approach to mitigating urban environmental issues, New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) have become a focal point of research regarding their current development status and future prospects in China. Addressing the significant disparities in the development of the NEVs industry across different cities, this study focuses on ten typical Chinese cities and develops a novel multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) framework to evaluate the prospects of NEVs promotion in these cities. The study first establishes a comprehensive indicator system that covers key dimensions such as economy, policy support, infrastructure, technological innovation, and environment, encompassing five different types of evaluation information.

Aiming at the problems of a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm in a three-dimensional multi-obstacle space, such as low sampling efficiency and path search failure, an improved fast extended random tree (RRT*) algorithm for robotic arm path planning method (abbreviated as HP-APF-RRT*) is proposed. The algorithm generates multiple candidate points per iteration, selecting a sampling point probabilistically based on heuristic values, thereby optimizing sampling efficiency and reducing unnecessary nodes. To mitigate increased search times in obstacle-dense areas, an artificial potential field (APF) approach is integrated, establishing gravitational and repulsive fields to guide sampling points around obstacles toward the target.

Background: While initial nonoperative management is the conventional approach for superficial triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears, a substantial portion of these cases go on to require surgery, and the optimal duration of nonoperative treatment is unknown. In this study, we evaluate the cost-effectiveness of early versus late arthroscopic debridement for the treatment of superficial TFCC tears without distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability.

Methods: We created a decision tree to compare the following strategies from a healthcare payer perspective: immediate arthroscopic debridement versus immobilization for 4 or 6 weeks with late debridement as needed.

PCDD/Fs are dioxins produced by waste incineration and pose risks to human health. We aimed to detail the health risks of airborne and soil PCDD/Fs near a municipal solid-waste incinerator (MSWI) for the surrounding population and develop a new model that improves upon existing methods. Thus, we conducted field sampling and then investigated a MSWI in the Pearl River Delta (2016-2018).

Background: The etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) is still not well-demonstrated, and assessment of some risk factors like alcohol consumption has problems like confounding and measurement bias. To determine the causal effect of alcohol consumption on MS after adjusting for alcohol consumption misclassification bias and confounders.

Methods: In a population-based incident case-control study, 547 patients with MS and 1057 healthy people were recruited.
