Development of distress condition index of asphalt pavements using LTPP data through structural equation modeling

Traditional pavement distress index such as the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) developed by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determines coefficients of distresses based on subjective ratings. This study proposed an asphalt pavement distress condition index based on various types of distress data collected from the Long-Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) database through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The SEM method treated the overall distress index as a latent variable while various distresses were treated as endogenous and other influence factors such as age, layer thickness, material type, weather, environment and traffic, were exogenous observed variables. The SEM method modeled the contributions of various distresses as well as the influence of other factors on the overall pavement distress condition. Influences of age, layer thickness, material type, environment and traffic on the latent distress condition were in accordance with previous studies. Compared with previous attempts to model latent pavement condition index utilizing SEM method, more pavement condition measurements and influencing factors were included. Specifically, this study adopted the robust maximum likelihood estimator (MLR) to estimate parameters for non-normally distributed data and derived the explicit expression of latent variables with intercepts. A multiple regression prediction model was built to calculate an overall condition index utilizing those measured distress data. The established pavement distress index prediction model provided a rational estimation of weighting coefficients for each distress type. The prediction model showed that alligator cracking, longitudinal cracking in wheel path, non-wheel path longitudinal cracking, transverse cracking, block cracking, edge cracking, patch and bleeding were significant for the latent pavement distress index.

哮喘大鼠肺内神经生长因子的表达变化及与病理改变的关系

目的探讨神经生长因子(nerve growth factor,NGF)致哮喘大鼠肺内病理改变及被拮抗后肺内表达的变化,为哮喘的发病机制和治疗提供理论依据。方法随机将48只SD大鼠分为:正常对照组、哮喘组和抗NGF干预组,每组均16只。取肺组织在光镜下测量支气管基底膜厚度并计数黏膜下成纤维细胞的数目,HE染色观察气道病理改变并测量呼吸道平滑肌厚度;用免疫组化法检测肺组织NGF的表达。结果哮喘组肺组织NGF表达较对照组明显增强(P<0.01);NGF的表达与呼吸道平滑肌厚度有明显相关性;哮喘组呼吸道平滑肌厚度、网状基底膜厚度、黏膜下成纤维细胞数目及NGF的表达均高于对照组和抗NGF干预组(P<0.05);抗NGF干预组显著缓解上述变化(P<0.05)。结论支气管哮喘大鼠气道组织中NGF表达显著增加,并与呼吸道平滑肌厚度等有关,同时与支气管哮喘的气道炎症有明显相关,予抗NGF干预后可以抑制气道炎症。

鉴于船用动力设备刚度性能研究较少的现象,采用数值仿真与试验方法,对某型船用主汽轮机汽缸刚度特性开展研究。研究表明,在静力载荷作用下,汽缸的位移变化集中在上下缸体连接处及前后轴承箱连接处,并随着载荷增加呈线性变化规律,越靠近连接部位变化越剧烈;下缸体出口气上沿及前后轴承座垂向位移变化较大,是影响汽缸静刚度的重要位置;对试验数据进行相似变换,可获得实际汽缸的各项参数。
