A ceramic-based pulse-forming line (PFL) is a solid-state device with a wide range of applications in compact pulsed power systems. In this paper, the characteristic impedance of a ceramic-based PFL is theoretically analyzed, and an improved PFL based on an impedance matching electrode is proposed. The improved PFL effectively increases the flat-top ratio and reduces the rise and fall times, enhancing its potential applicability. Experiments using the improved PFL show that, under a charging voltage of 33 kV and with an impedance matching load, the output pulse width can reach 86 ns with a matching impedance of 3.9 Ω. The improved PFL output waveform has a flat-top ratio that reaches 72%, compared with 49.5% in a typical PFL, and exhibits shorter rise and fall times.

Background: For the young plastic surgeon, the quantity of first-author peer-reviewed publications plays a prominent role in job offers and promotions. Women surgeons carry a disproportionate share of family responsibilities, contributing to their lower representation in positions of leader- ship and influence. Policies protecting reproductive rights and mandating paid family leave (PFL) boost women's participation and productivity in the workplace.

Introduction: Injuries to the posterolateral compartment (PLC) of the knee require special attention, as incorrect diagnosis and treatment may lead to considerable morbidity. However, no gold standard treatment has been established for PLC injuries.
Methods: 38 patients with concomitant (posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and PLC injuries were divided into two groups according to surgical treatment of the proximal popliteal tendon injury.

Predictive real-time control (RTC) strategies are usually more effective than reactive strategies for the intelligent management of urban stormwater storage systems. However, it remains a challenge to ensure the practicality of RTC strategies that use accessible, non-idealized predictive information while improving their efficiency for successive rainfall events instead of specific phases. This study developed a predictive fuzzy logic and rule-based control (PFL-RBC) approach to address the continuous control of individual storage systems.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the effects of fermented liquor (PFL) on improving lipid metabolism and oxidative stress in mice by regulating the gut microbiota.
Methods: Forty SPF-grade male Kunming mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal control group (NC), general liquor group (GC), fresh fermented liquor group (FPC), and nine-steam-nine-bask fermented liquor group (NPC). Each group was administered with sterile water, general liquor, fresh fermented liquor, and nine-steam-nine-bask fermented liquor, respectively, by gavage.
