In order to obtain proper speed limits in expressway work zones, CarSim and TruckSim software were used to determine the critical car and truck safe speeds and then VISSIM software was used to determine the traffic capacities and their corresponding speed limits under different upstream transition area lengths and road adhesion coefficients. The results show that critical car and truck safe speeds increase exponentially while traffic capacity and its corresponding speed limit increase logarithmically with rising road adhesion coefficient under a constant upstream transition area length, and critical car and truck safe speeds increase as a power function while traffic capacity and its corresponding speed limit increase exponentially with rising upstream transition area length under a constant road adhesion coefficient. Because Road Traffic Signs and Markings- Part 4: Work Zone (RTSM, GB 5768.4-2017) only gave the relationship between speed limit and upstream transition area length without considering road adhesion coefficient, the obtained determination method of optimal speed limit in expressway work zone in this paper has better reference value.

Background: Hyperoxia-induced brain injury is a severe neurological complication that is often accompanied by adverse long-term prognosis. The pathogenesis of hyperoxia-induced brain injury is highly complex, with neuroinflammation playing a crucial role. The activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, which plays a pivotal role in regulating and amplifying the inflammatory response, is the pathological core of hyperoxia-induced brain injury.

The two cell types are dictated by the activity of the alternative sigma factor SigD encoded as the penultimate gene of the 27 kb long flagellar operon. The frequency of SigD-ON motile cells is increased by the heteromeric transcription factor SwrA•DegU that activates the promoter.
