A thermohydraulic-coupled model was developed. Results indicate that increased moisture content significantly reduces shear strength: at low confining pressures, strength decreases by 50% across 15%-35% moisture content ranges, while high confining pressures reduce the decrease to 30% by enhancing particle confinement. Temperature elevation accelerates cement softening and particle thermal motion, causing cohesion to drop from 17.6 kPa to 10.9 kPa and internal friction angle from 23.8° to 16.7°. Although confining pressure enhances strength, it cannot reverse cement failure caused by high temperatures. The improved thermohydraulic-coupled model, incorporating moisture content sensitivity coefficient (m) and temperature sensitivity coefficient (n), achieves precise stress-strain relationship predictions under coupled field effects (correlation coefficient R²> 0.97).

Unlike existing Literature where various FSS structures are employed for performance improvement, this study presents An innovative approach by integrating a decagonal FSS unit cell with a dug-hex microstrip antenna design. The key contributions of this work include significant performance improvements, such as a gain enhancement from 1.46 dB to 6.42 dB for the single-port antenna (32 mm × 24 mm × 1.6 mm), efficiency exceeding 87.45%, And a bandwidth of 738.86 MHz. For the quad-element MIMO antenna (50 mm × 50 mm × 1.6 mm), the FSS integration results in a gain increase from 2.7 dBi to 7.4 dBi across all ports, while also improving frequency selectivity and port isolation. Notably, the MIMO antenna already exhibits good isolation between ports without FSS integration. Experimental validation confirms that the simulated and measured results align closely, demonstrating the effectiveness of the FSS-MIMO integration. This work not only highlights the potential of FSS technology for enhancing antenna performance in IoT and V2V communications but also introduces a novel, compact design that offers significant improvements in gain, efficiency, and bandwidth.

Nine middle-aged women (age: 53.38 years, BMI: 24.45 [Formula: see text]) completed 24 training sessions, with evaluations every 12 sessions. Step detection was performed using continuous wavelet transform, stance-to-swing ratio assessed temporal adaptation, and jerk cost analysis quantified movement smoothness. Hierarchical clustering (Ward's method) identified motor adaptation patterns. Results showed significant kinematic adaptations, particularly in backward stepping, with increased stance duration and smoother motion. Notably, the third step (first backward step) reflected adaptation, especially from the 12th to 24th sessions, suggesting the central nervous system prioritized this particular step for initial stability. In contrast, no significant adaptation was observed in the fourth step, indicating asymmetry in lower limb trainability. Alternating the leading step every minute may reduce asymmetry.

Existing classification systems are insufficient to comprehensively characterize the continuum of injuries spanning from the diaphysis to the articular surface. This study aimed to delineate the extension patterns of spiral tibial shaft fractures toward the distal articular surface, quantify the frequency of involvement across distinct anatomical regions, and characterize their spatial distribution, thereby providing a morphological basis for more precise diagnosis and treatment. A single-center retrospective cohort comprising 160 patients with spiral tibial shaft fractures treated at the Xi'an Jiaotong University Affiliated Honghui Hospital between May 2020 and December 2024 was included. Computed tomography (CT) images were independently screened and assessed by three senior physicians blinded to clinical data, with AO/OTA classification demonstrating excellent inter-rater reliability (κ > 0.80). Among these, 117 cases exhibited involvement of the distal articular surface. Fracture lines were registered onto a standardized tibial template utilizing a processing pipeline integrating Mimics, 3-Matic, NX, AutoCAD, and Origin software, enabling the generation of three-dimensional fracture line distribution maps and heatmaps. Among the 160 cases of spiral tibial shaft fractures, 117 (73.1%) exhibited fracture lines involving the distal articular surface. The specific distribution was as follows: 85 cases (72.6%) involved the posterior malleolus, 46 cases (39.3%) the anterior malleolus, and 29 cases (24.9%) the medial malleolus. Distribution maps revealed that 57 cases (48.7%) involved only the posterior malleolus, 16 cases (13.7%) only the anterior malleolus, and 9 cases (7.7%) only the medial malleolus; 15 cases (12.8%) involved both the posterior and anterior malleoli, 5 cases (4.3%) both the posterior and medial malleoli, and 7 cases (6.0%) both the anterior and medial malleoli. In comparison, 8 cases (6.8%) exhibited involvement of all three regions. Heatmap analysis revealed a highly modular distribution of fracture lines across the distal articular surface. The highest density was observed in the posterior malleolar region, forming an arc-shaped high-density zone. In the anterior malleolar region, two linear high-density bands were primarily located along the margins of the anterior malleolar module and the Chaput tubercle. Fracture lines in the medial malleolus were predominantly concentrated at the junction between the medial malleolar prominence and the articular surface. Spiral tibial shaft fractures frequently extend into the distal articular surface, exhibiting diverse injury patterns that go beyond the traditionally recognized posterior malleolar involvement.
