A prototype telecommunications project designed to bring home instruction to severely handicapped preschool children in remote and isolated areas is described. The project demonstrated that a minicomputer control system could serve a large number of families simultaneously. Reliable telephonic data transmission between computer and home based teaching machines was achieved, families accepted the placement of equipment in their homes, and children interacted with automated devices on a daily basis. The feasibility of large scale service delivery through a similar system is discussed.

Scale Integration

With the large-scale integration of fracturing unit's on-site construction, traditional industrial buses are increasingly unable to meet the requirements for the quantity transmission between various equipment in large-scale fracturing units, and different models of different equipment manufacturers cannot cooperate with each other as there are "Islands of information" in the control system. This article uses industrial Ethernet as the physical medium for data transmission. In addition, different equipment manufacturers use OPC as the core technology of the fracturing unit control system network, and set up an intelligent fracturing unit control system, so that the control network can quickly, accurately, and safely control the fracturing truck control system. The sand truck control system monitors and analyzes, saves, and prints the construction data in the vehicle instrument. At the same time, the network control system uses the vehicle instrument as the core of the network. It can control fracturing vehicles from different manufacturers. The sand mixer truck performs network control, which effectively avoids incompatibilities between various equipment manufacturers at the construction site.

To obtain information on the potential benefits of integration, this study investigated the nature and extent of social interactions among preschool children at different developmental levels. Communicative and parallel play interactions of mildly, moderately, severely, and nonhandicapped children were observed during free play across two time periods. The results revealed that (a) nonhandicapped and mildly handicapped children interacted with each other more frequently than expected on the basis of availability, and they interacted with moderately and severely handicapped children less frequently than expected; (b) moderately and severely handicapped children interacted with all four developmental groups as expected by the criterion of availability; and (c) whenever this pattern of interaction changed over time, it was typically in the direction of enhancing the differences noted in the first statement. These findings are discussed in terms of the potential value of integrated programs for children of varying developmental levels.

This paper mainly studies the application of intelligent lighting control system in different sports events in large sports competition venues. We take the Xiantao Stadium, a large­scale sports competition venue in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province as an example, to study its intelligent lighting control system. In this paper, the PID (proportion – integral – derivative) incremental control model and the Karatsuba multiplication model are used, and the intelligent lighting control system is designed and implemented by multi­level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. Finally, the paper evaluates the actual effect of the intelligent lighting control system. The research shows that the intelligent lighting control system designed in this paper can accurately control the lighting of different sports in large stadiums. The research in this paper has important practical significance for the planning and design of large­scale sports competition venues.

At Risk Populations

Abstract Individuals aged seventy-five or older, who often present with multiple comorbidities and decreased functional status, typically prefer to age in their homes. Additionally, as in-home medical equipment evolves, more medically vulnerable individuals can receive care at home. Concomitantly, large-scale natural disasters disproportionally affect both the medically complex and the older old, two patient groups responsible for most medical surge after a disaster. To understand how to ameliorate this surge, we examined the activities of the nine US Department of Veterans Affairs Home-Based Primary Care programs during the 2017 Atlantic Hurricane Season. These and similar programs under Medicare connect the homebound to the healthcare community. Study findings support early implementation of preparedness procedures and intense post-Hurricane patient tracking as a means of limiting reductions in care and preventing significant disruptions to patient health. Engaging with home-based primary care programs during disasters is central to bolstering community resilience for these at-risk populations.
