Epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of the cluster outbreaks of influenza-like illness in Yangpu District， Shanghai， 2012‒2022 by XIE Qianru, JIANG Chenyan, TAO Fangfang, QIAO Peng

“…ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics and influencing factors of clustered influenza-like illness (ILI) outbreaks in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2012 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating specific prevention and control measures of influenza in this district.MethodsData on clustered ILI outbreaks from 2012 to 2022 were collected, and the epidemiological pattern of the cluster outbreaks of influenza and its influencing factors of prevalence and duration were explored using statistical methods such as descriptive epidemiology, χ² test and logistic regression analysis.ResultsA total of 60 clustered ILI outbreaks were reported in Yangpu District, Shanghai from 2012 to 2022, with a cumulative number of 543 cases and an annual average incidence rate of 16.96%. …”

Non-uniform temperature fields and debonding of a long-span CFST arch bridge under coupled environmental actions by Qian Zhou, Jiao Wan, Jingzhou Xin, Jiu-qun Mao, Jianting Zhou

“…Experimental and theoretical analyses yielded several significant findings: (1) During the hydration exothermic phase, the temperature field at concrete center exhibited a tri-linear distribution pattern (characterized by rapid initial rise, subsequent decline, and final stabilization), with the ascending rate significantly exceeding the descending rate; temperatures exceeded 50°C between 25 and 73 h post-placement. (2) The external steel tube temperature demonstrated sinusoidal diurnal variations during and post-hydration, closely correlating with ambient temperature fluctuations; after hydration, concrete temperatures also followed sinusoidal diurnal distributions, with amplitudes increasing proportionally to radial distance from the center. (3) A pronounced radial temperature gradient from center to surface manifested during hydration, reaching a maximum differential of 40°C; the temperature gradients substantially decreased to 7°C after hydration. (4) Longitudinal stress differentials between the interface steel tube and concrete measured 42.5 MPa (sun-exposed side) and 74.2 MPa (shadowed side), while radial stress differentials were −1.37 MPa and −0.34 MPa, respectively. (5) The temperature field model demonstrated a tri-linear distribution pattern with an effective influence depth of D/8 to D/4 (where D represents steel tube diameter); the temperature constant exhibited significant temporal dependency on environmental conditions and hydration heat evolution. (6) Although longitudinal relative slip occurred at the steel-concrete interface during placement, no void was detected.…”
