Age Analysis of Status Updating System with Probabilistic Packet Preemption

The age of information (AoI) metric was proposed to measure the freshness of messages obtained at the terminal node of a status updating system. In this paper, the AoI of a discrete time status updating system with probabilistic packet preemption is investigated by analyzing the steady state of a three-dimensional discrete stochastic process. We assume that the queue used in the system is Ber/Geo/1/2*/η, which represents that the system size is 2 and the packet in the buffer can be preempted by a fresher packet with probability η. Instead of considering the system’s AoI separately, we use a three-dimensional state vector (n,m,l) to simultaneously track the real-time changes of the AoI, the age of a packet in the server, and the age of a packet waiting in the buffer. We give the explicit expression of the system’s average AoI and show that the average AoI of the system without packet preemption is obtained by letting η=0. When η is set to 1, the mean of the AoI of the system with a Ber/Geo/1/2* queue is obtained as well. Combining the results we have obtained and comparing them with corresponding average continuous AoIs, we propose a possible relationship between the average discrete AoI with the Ber/Geo/1/c queue and the average continuous AoI with the M/M/1/c queue. For each of two extreme cases where η=0 and η=1, we also determine the stationary distribution of AoI using the probability generation function (PGF) method. The relations between the average AoI and the packet preemption probability η, as well as the AoI’s distribution curves in two extreme cases, are illustrated by numerical simulations. Notice that the probabilistic packet preemption may occur, for example, in an energy harvest (EH) node of a wireless sensor network, where the packet in the buffer can be replaced only when the node collects enough energy. In particular, to exhibit the usefulness of our idea and methods and highlight the merits of considering discrete time systems, in this paper, we provide detailed discussions showing how the results about continuous AoI are derived by analyzing the corresponding discrete time system and how the discrete age analysis is generalized to the system with multiple sources. In terms of packet service process, we also propose an idea to analyze the AoI of a system when the service time distribution is arbitrary.     

非稳态油膜力作用下偏角不对中碰摩转子系统振动特性分析

建立了非稳态油膜力、碰摩力作用下,偏角不对中轴系的横向振动模型,将Jeffcott转子模型推广至约束条件下的轴系振动模型,通过引入转子间的位移约束,由Lagrange方程导出了不对中轴系系统的振动方程.仿真研究表明:由于不对中的存在,轴系横向振动是强非线性、非定常、同时含有自激励、参数激励和外激励的三自由度振动系统;由于从动轴与主动轴的不对中,导致了转轴间的运动约束,使轴系横向振动系统比Jeffcott转子动力学模型所描述的振动系统少了一个自由度.随着偏角不对中量、转轴质量比的变化,系统出现周期、概周期、混沌运动特征.不对中轴系处于概周期运动时,呈现出自激振动特征.其结果可为旋转机械故障诊断、轴系对中及设备的安全运行提供更为准确的理论参考.

The Pathophysiology of Long COVID throughout the Renin-Angiotensin System

COVID-19 has expanded across the world since its discovery in Wuhan (China) and has had a significant impact on people’s lives and health. Long COVID is a term coined by the World Health Organization (WHO) to describe a variety of persistent symptoms after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Long COVID has been demonstrated to affect various SARS-CoV-2-infected persons, independently of the acute disease severity. The symptoms of long COVID, like acute COVID-19, consist in the set of damage to various organs and systems such as the respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, endocrine, urinary, and immune systems. Fatigue, dyspnea, cardiac abnormalities, cognitive and attention impairments, sleep disturbances, post-traumatic stress disorder, muscle pain, concentration problems, and headache were all reported as symptoms of long COVID. At the molecular level, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is heavily involved in the pathogenesis of this illness, much as it is in the acute phase of the viral infection. In this review, we summarize the impact of long COVID on several organs and tissues, with a special focus on the significance of the RAS in the disease pathogenesis. Long COVID risk factors and potential therapy approaches are also explored.

理解全球化：基于“经济−社会−政治”体系共生演化视角的分析

20世纪80年代以来,一波超级全球化席卷全球。当今世界进入了百年未有之大变局,全球化陷入困境。应当如何理解当前的全球化困境？百年未有之大变局究竟变在何处？为此,可以从经济学、政治学、社会学与国际关系的综合视角,构建“经济−社会−政治”为一体的、动态演化的框架,以理解当今世界全球化的深层次矛盾。近一波全球化过程中全球经济力量与收入分配格局发生了变化,出现了发达经济体的经济停滞和新兴经济体的赶超,也导致了社会各阶层和不同社会群体的收入和财富差距发生巨变。全球化中全球经济基础的变化,即全球化中的全球经济力量格局变迁与收入分配恶化将对各国的经济和社会基础产生重大影响,进而影响上层建筑：国家的主导思想和意识形态。一个国家在国际关系和经济政策领域主导思想的演变,势必影响其对外战略和政策选择,进而影响本国的经济走向乃至全球化的历史进程。
