To obtain a mathematical model capable of predicting the 50% discharge voltage of air-gap under high-altitude conditions, we used the test results of air-gap in high altitude areas to establish the 50% discharge voltage BP neural network model of air-gap under high-altitude conditions. We used the model to forecast the 50% discharge voltage of air-gap under high-altitude conditions. The result shows that the maximum error between forecast voltage and test voltage is 1.42%, which certificates the possibility of using the neural network to build the multidimensional and nonlinear relationship between the environmental factors and discharge voltage. At the same time, we can simulate and analyze the effect of environmental factors on discharge voltage of air-gap with the help of model that we established, analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and atmosphere pressure, and discharge voltage of air-gap.

The aim of this study is to quantify acrophobia and provide safety advices for high-altitude workers. Considering that acrophobia is a fuzzy quantity that cannot be accurately evaluated by conventional detection methods, we propose a comprehensive solution to quantify acrophobia. Specifically, this study simulates a virtual reality environment called High-altitude Plank Walking Challenge, which provides a safe and controlled experimental environment for subjects. Besides, a method named Granger Causality Convolutional Neural Network (GCCNN) combining convolutional neural network and Granger causality functional brain network is proposed to analyze the subjects’ noninvasive scalp EEG signals. Here, the GCCNN method is used to distinguish the subjects with severe acrophobia, moderate acrophobia, and no acrophobia in a three-class classification task or no acrophobia and acrophobia in a two-class classification task. Compared with the mainstream methods, the GCCNN method achieves better classification performance, with an accuracy of 98.74% for the two-class classification task (no acrophobia versus acrophobia) and of 98.47% for the three-class classification task (no acrophobia versus moderate acrophobia versus severe acrophobia). Consequently, our proposed GCCNN method can provide more accurate quantitative results than the comparative methods, making it to be more competitive in further practical applications.

This study explores the risk factors of chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD) induced by plateau chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) based on intelligent medical treatment and big data of electrocardiogram (ECG) signal. Based on GPU, a wavelet algorithm is introduced to extract features of ECG signal, and it was combined with generalized regression neural network (GRNN) to improve classification accuracy. From June 2018 to December 2020, 10,185 patients diagnosed with COPD in the plateau area by pulmonary function testing, ECG, and chest X-ray at X Hospital are taken as the research objects to evaluate the distribution of CPHD incidence at different ages and altitudes. The running time of GTX780Ti is about 15 times shorter than that of CPU. The accuracy of N detection based on the GPU-accelerated neural network model reached 98.06%. Accuracy (Acc), sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), and positive rate (PR) of V were 99.03%, 89.17%, 98.92%, and 93.18%, respectively. The Acc, Se, Sp, and PR of S were 99.54%, 86.22%, 99.74%, and 92.56%, respectively. The GRNN classification accuracy was up to 98%. 19% of COPD patients were diagnosed with CPHD, including 1,409 males (72.82%) and 526 females (36.24%). The highest prevalence of CPHD was 64.60% when the altitude was 1,900–2,499 m, and the prevalence was only 2.43% when the altitude was ≥3,500 m. The highest prevalence of CPHD was 63.77% at the age of 61–70 years, and the lowest prevalence at the age of 15∼20 years was only 0.26%. Therefore, the GPU-based neural network model improved the classification accuracy of ECG signals. Age and altitude were risk factors for CPHD induced by high-altitude COPD, which provided a reference for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CPHD in high-altitude areas.

AbstractThe Hα filtergrams obtained at Tjan-Shan High Altitude Observatory near Alma-Ata (Moscow University Station) were measured in order to specify the bright rims contrast at different points along the line profile (0.0; ± 0.25; ± 0.5; ± 0.75 and ± 1.0 Å). The mean contrast value in the line center is about 25 percent. The bright rims interpretation as the bases of magnetic structures supporting the filaments is suggested.
