To investigate the short-term effects of ambient air pollution and meteorological factors on daily tuberculosis (TB), semi-parametric generalized additive model was used to assess the impacts of ambient air pollutants and meteorological factors on daily TB case from 2005 to 2010 in Chengguan District, Lanzhou, China. Then a non-stratification parametric model and a stratification parametric model were applied to study the interactive effect of air pollutants and meteorological factors on daily TB. The results show that sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), and particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than 10μm (PM 10 ) were positively correlated with daily TB case; the excess risk (ER) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 1.79% (0.40%, 3.20%), 3.86% (1.81%, 5.96%), and 0.32% (0.02%, 0.62%), respectively. Daily TB case was positively correlated with maximum temperature, minimum temperature, average temperature, vapor pressure, and relative humidity, but negatively correlated with atmospheric pressure, wind speed, and sunshine duration. The association with average temperature was the strongest, whose ER and 95% CI were 4.43% (3.15%, 5.72%). In addition, there were significant interaction effects between air pollutants and meteorological factors on daily TB case.

Cloud platform load balancing has become one of the essential elements in modern cloud platform operations. However, there are still some problems in the evaluation methods of cloud platform load balance, such as unreasonable evaluation indexes and lack of comprehensive evaluation methods. This paper first proposes a performance evaluation method of cloud platform load balancing capabilities. This method analyzes the characteristics of the cloud platform and the actual needs of users, designs and proposes a cloud platform load balancing capability evaluation system, quantitatively analyzes and quantifies specific indexes, and uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process to determine the weight of each index. Finally, we deploy and test our method on the OpenStack cloud platform. Experiments show that the evaluation results of the method proposed in this paper are consistent with the actual results, which verifies the feasibility and rationality of the method proposed in this paper.
