Abstract

Mic rotopography and combustion characteristics of carbonized corn straw and pine charcoal as well as anthracite were investigated to compare the property of fuel and analyze the application of corn straw in industrial activity. The reduction process of hematite with different reducing agent was studied with thermogravimetric analysis. It is indicated in the results that the initial reduction temperature was lower when carbonized corn straw was blended with hematite and an ideal reduction rate can be achieved with a C/O of 1.1, while the reduction rate of pine charcoal to hematite was lower and higher C/O is needed for anthracite to obtain the same reduction rate.

Abstract

The combustion of anthracite and bituminite blends with different bituminite particle size was investigated with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It is indicated in the results that the increase of bituminite particle size may influence the pyrolysis of blends and consequently the decomposition of blends moved to higher temperature zones with the increase of bituminite particle size. However, the negative influence of specific area is not that significant to some bituminite and anthracite mixtures, the comprehensive combustion behavior of blends was stable when particle size of some bituminie PC was increased from 0,074 mm to 0,150 mm.

Abstract

In this article, Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) absorption, Upper-Hybrid Resonance (UHR) absorption and Electron Bernstein Wave (EBW) conversion are systematically confirmed in magnetically confined KT-5D plasma which is sole-excited by a magnetron source. A 2.45 GHz ECR system has been developed on the toroidal helimak KT-5D to produce and sustain a steady-state plasma. 0.98 kW electron cyclotron wave produced by the magnetron is injected into the vacuum chamber through rectangular waveguides with a power absorption efficiency of 40∼50%. A steady-state plasma is excited with a density of several 1016/m3 and electron temperature of up to 30 eV. The radial profile of plasma density shows that ECR absorption dominates the power deposition with a higher hydrogen pressure of at the order of 10-1 Pa, while UHR absorption dominates with a lower hydrogen pressure of at the order of 10-2 Pa. Plasma density in the discharge with a superimposed magnetic shear has demonstrated the wave conversion from ECR to EBW.

Abstract

Vegetation plays a key role in maintaining soil quality, but long-term changes in soil quality due to plant species change and successive planting are rarely reported. Using the space-for-time substitution method, adjacent plantations of Pinus and first, second, third and fourth generations of Eucalyptus in Guangxi, China were used to study changes in soil quality caused by converting Pinus to Eucalyptus and successive Eucalyptus planting. Soil chemical and biological properties were measured and a soil quality index was calculated using principal component analysis. Soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, alkaline hydrolytic nitrogen, microbial biomass carbon, microbial biomass nitrogen, cellobiosidase, phenol oxidase, peroxidase and acid phosphatase activities were significantly lower in the first and second generations of Eucalyptus plantations compared with Pinus plantation, but they were significantly higher in the third and fourth generations than in the first and second generations and significantly lower than in Pinus plantation. Soil total and available potassium were significantly lower in Eucalyptus plantations (1.8–2.5 g kg−1 and 26–66 mg kg−1) compared to the Pinus plantation (14.3 g kg−1 and 92 mg kg−1), but total phosphorus was significantly higher in Eucalyptus plantations (0.9–1.1 g kg−1) compared to the Pinus plantation (0.4 g kg−1). As an integrated indicator, soil quality index was highest in the Pinus plantation (0.92) and lowest in the first and second generations of Eucalyptus plantations (0.24 and 0.13). Soil quality index in the third and fourth generations (0.36 and 0.38) was between that in Pinus plantation and in first and second generations of Eucalyptus plantations. Changing tree species, reclamation and fertilization may have contributed to the change observed in soil quality during conversion of Pinus to Eucalyptus and successive Eucalyptus planting. Litter retention, keeping understorey coverage, and reducing soil disturbance during logging and subsequent establishment of the next rotation should be considered to help improving soil quality.

Abstract

The study was conducted to examine the effects of partially replacing soybean meal (SBM) by solid-state fermented cottonseed meal (FCSM) on growth performance, serum biochemical parameters and immune function of broilers. After inoculated with Bacillus subtilis BJ-1 for 48 h, the content of free gossypol in cottonseed meal was decreased from 0.82 to 0.21 g/kg. A total of 600, day-old male yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into four groups with three replicates of 50 chicks each. A corn-SBM based control diet was formulated and the experimental diets included 4, 8 or 12% FCSM, replacing SBM. Throughout the experiment, broilers fed 8% FCSM had higher (p0.05) were found between treatments regarding the serum biochemical parameters and the relative weights of immune organs. In conclusion, FCSM can be used in broiler diets at up to 12% of the total diet and an appropriate replacement of SBM with FCSM may improve growth performance and immunity in broilers.

Abstract

VO2 thin films with large-area were prepared on Al2O3 substrates by a simple sol-gel method. After an annealing treatment under low vacuum condition, all the VO2 films showed a preferred growth direction and exhibited excellent semiconductor-metal transition (SMT) characteristics. The structure and electrical properties of the obtained VO2 films were investigated systematically. Raman spectra, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectra measurements pointed out that the VO2 film on A l2 O3 ( 10 1¯ 0 ) substrate showed a M1 phase instead of M2 phase as reported in previous studies. Based on the experiment results, it was suggested that the strained structure of oriented VO2 films could be a mechanism for the formation of the intermediate M2 phase, whereas it is difficult to access the pure M2 phase of undoped VO2 films. VO2 film on A l2 O3 10 1¯ 0 substrate showed a lower SMT temperature compared to VO2 film on Al2O3 (0001), which can be mostly attributed to the differences of both lattice mismatch and thermal stress. The present results confirm and make clear the relevance of the substrate orientation in the growth of VO2 film and their different contributions to the SMT characteristics in vanadate systems.

Abstract

RNA silencing is a general strategy for eukaryotes including plants to resist pathogens, especially virus. In turn, virus have evolved RNA silencing suppressors (RSSs) to overcome RNA silencing in plants. In following researches, bacterial, oomycete, fungi have been found to involve in RSS besides virus. In 2021, we initially identified a novel RSS SWP16 from 37 secretory proteins encoded by phytoplasma. In this research, we analyzed the molecular and biological characters of SWP16 including bioinformatics analysis, subcellular localization, effect of SWP16 on plant innate immunity and phylogenetic analysis of SWP16. The results showed that SWP16 is a novel secretory protein which contains an α helix tertiary structure, 5 threonine (T) phosphorylation sites, 2 threonine (S) phosphorylation sites. Furthermore, a Leucine-rich repetitive structure (LRR) was harbored in the transmembrane domain of signal peptide of SWP16, furthermore, a putative secreting model of SWP16 was constructed. In addition, SWP16 localized in nucleus and cytomembrane. In this research, SWP16 was also found not to involve in HR-PCD processes of plant, so it suggested that SWP16 may specifically interfere RNA silencing in plant. The phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that SWP16 was highly conserved in evolution and shared high homology with a homology protein in onion yellows phytoplasma.

Abstract

Oral microbiome dysbiosis, triggered by increased oral pathogens or decreased commercial bacteria, leads to oral and systemic diseases. Recent ecological events suggest that periodontal disease is a risk factor of adverse pregnancy outcomes. The oral microbiome dysbiosis is believed to be associated with oral disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO). However, the pathogenic mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. In this review, we summarize the recent literature on how pregnancy associated pathogenic oral microbiome dysbiosis can trigger gestational periodontal diseases and poor birth outcomes, especially the role of periodontal pathogenic bacteria in the mechanisms of how gestational periodontal diseases cause APO, and the effect of periodontal therapy during pregnancy on birth outcomes.由牙周致病菌增多和共生菌减少导致的口腔微生态失衡是口腔疾病特别是牙周病的病因，也是众多系统性疾病的危险因素。病因学研究发现，妊娠期的牙周炎是不良妊娠结局如流产、死产、早产、低体重儿等的危险因素。虽然口腔微生态失衡和牙周病原菌被认为与不良妊娠结局密切相关，但其中的致病机制尚未完全明确。如何通过改善妊娠期口腔微生态环境预防不良妊娠结局一直是牙周医学的研究目标。为制订干预措施，了解孕期口腔微生物组的变化及其与不良妊娠结局的关系至关重要。本文分别从妊娠期口腔微生态变化，妊娠期牙周病与不良妊娠结局关系的相关机制，胎盘微生态与阴道及口腔微生态的关联证据，妊娠期开展口腔治疗对妊娠结局的影响等方面总结归纳新的研究进展，为进一步开展有效防治妊娠期牙周病及不良妊娠结局的研究提供参考。.

Abstract

Data mining has been widely used in the study of cardiovascular disease prognosis. For stroke prognosis, the focus was mainly on the prediction of intervention effectiveness. In contrast, the focus was primarily on predicting natural prognostic and intervention safety for other cardiovascular diseases. In addition, compared with traditional statistical methods, machine learning, especially deep learning based on neural networks has much better performance in predicting the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases, which is worthy of further promotion and application. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed the recent application progress of data mining in cardiovascular disease prognosis, summarized the shortcomings of current studies, and put forward future directions.数据挖掘技术在心血管疾病预后研究中得到较为广泛的应用。其中，在脑卒中预后研究中更多涉及干预有效性的预测，而在其他心血管疾病预后研究中，主要关注自然预后和干预安全性的预测。相较于传统的统计方法，机器学习方法尤其是以神经网络为基础的深度学习技术在预测心血管疾病预后方面有更好的性能表现，值得进一步推广。本文梳理了近些年数据挖掘在心血管疾病预后研究中的应用进展，并对当前研究不足进行总结、提出展望。.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between the quadriceps cross-sectional area (CSA) and quadriceps muscle volume (QMV) at different horizontal levels from the upper edge of the patella, and to determine the best observation position. METHODS: Thigh magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of 22 Chinese young men [age: (29±6) years] with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture were examined. The CSA was measured at 18, 15, and 12 cm above the upper edge of the pate-lla (denoted by CSA-18, CSA-15 and CSA-12 respectively), and the QMV and CSA were determined by semiautomatic segmentation. A curve model was established to estimate QMV. Bland-Altman analysis was performed to determine the confidence limits of the volumes. RESULTS: On the unaffected side, the mean QMV was (1 944.45±323.77) cm(3). The quadriceps CSA at the upper edge of the patella at 18, 15, and 12 cm was (80.80±12.16) cm(2), (77.53±12.03) cm(2), and (72.68±10.51) cm(2), respectively. The coefficients of determination (R(2)), ascertained using curve estimation models, for the 3 positions were 0.819, 0.755, and 0.684 (P < 0.001), and the standard deviations of the volume estimated value (SEE) were 7.4%, 8.7%, and 9.8%. The fitting equations of the three horizontal positions were all good, but the fitting degree of CSA-18 was the highest. The Bland-Altman scatter plot showed that the arithmetic means of the QMV at 18, 15 and 12 cm from the upper edge of the patella 0.8 cm(3), -1.1 cm(3), and 0.9 cm(3) and 95% limits of agreement (LoA) were (-268.8, 270.5), (-315.2, 313.1), and (-355.7, 357.5), respectively. The estimated QMV was in good agreement with the measured value. The difference between the estimated CSA-18 and measured values was the smallest. The results on the affected side were consistent. CONCLUSION: The correlation between QMV and CSA in the young men with the upper edge of patella as baseline was reliable and consistent. Among them, CSA-18 had the highest correlation with the QMV. However, different observation sites could be selected for different injuries of the quadriceps.

The measurements are fully corrected for detector effects, and reported differentially in both the jet transverse momentum and jet radius parameter. We compare the measurements to established leading-order Monte Carlo event generators and find that STAR-tuned pythia-6 reproduces the data, while LHC tunes of pythia-8 and herwig-7 do not agree with the data, providing further constraints on parameter tuning. Finally, we observe that softdrop grooming, for which the contribution of wide-angle nonperturbative radiation is suppressed, shifts the jet mass distributions into closer agreement with the partonic jet mass as determined by both pythia-8 and a next-to-leading-logarithmic accuracy perturbative QCD calculation. These measurements complement recent LHC measurements in a different kinematic region, as well as establish a baseline for future jet mass measurements in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC.

The Cn and κn are presented as a function of collision energy, centrality and kinematic acceptance in rapidity, y, and transverse momentum, pT. The data were taken during the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program (2010-2017) at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) facility. The measurements are carried out at midrapidity (|y|l 0.5) and transverse momentum 0.4

Transverse momentum (pT) dependence of flow coefficients (v2, v3, and v4) is presented for minimum bias collisions and three different centrality intervals. Number of constituent quark scaling of the measured flow coefficients in U+U collisions is discussed. We also present the ratio of vn scaled by the participant eccentricity (ɛn2) to explore system size dependence and collectivity in U+U collisions. The magnitude of v2/ɛ2 is found to be smaller in U+U collisions than that in central Au+Au collisions contradicting naive eccentricity scaling. Furthermore, the ratios between various flow harmonics (v3/v23/2, v4/v24/2) are studied and compared with hydrodynamic and transport model calculations.

Abstract

Periodontitis is closely related to systemic health, especially cardiovascular disease. Periodontal pathogens from periodontal infection actively participate in the formation and development of coronary atherosclerosis. At present, accumulcted evidences show that periodontal pathogen infection is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, which promotes the deepening of atherosclerosis through a variety of immune inflammation and metabolism-related molecular mechanisms. The present article reviews multipal aspects of the correlation between periodontitis and periodontal pathogens and cardiovascular disease, and the mechanism of periodontal pathogens affecting the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.牙周炎与全身健康特别是心血管疾病关系密切，牙周致病菌积极参与了动脉粥样硬化的形成与发展。目前已有研究证据表明，牙周致病菌感染是心血管事件的独立危险因素，其通过多种免疫炎症以及代谢相关分子机制促进动脉粥样硬化病变的发生发展。本文从牙周炎及牙周致病菌与心血管疾病的相关性、牙周致病菌影响动脉粥样硬化的机制等方面，对这一主题进行综述。.

The new inclusive jet data are sensitive to the gluon helicity distribution, Δg(x,Q2), for gluon momentum fractions in the range from x≃0.05 to x≃0.5, while the new dijet data provide further constraints on the x dependence of Δg(x,Q2). The results are in good agreement with previous measurements at s=200 GeV and with recent theoretical evaluations of prior world data. Our new results have better precision and thus strengthen the evidence that Δg(x,Q2) is positive for xg0.05.

Abstract

In the last several years, great progress of optical and spectroscopic diagnostics has been achieved on the HL-2A tokamak. The main physical goal of these diagnostics is to measure plasma parameters for research of turbulence and transport. These diagnostics include: (1) a Phase Contrast Imaging to calculate wavenumber spectra based on a 10.6-μm CO2 laser, (2) a multi-channel (48 channels now and 324 channels for future) Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) based on neutral beam injection to measure Doppler-shifted 659.1-nm Dα line for density fluctuation measurement, (3) a four-channel Lyman-Alpha-Based BES (LAB) to measure 121-nm vacuum ultraviolet line for edge density fluctuation measurement, (4) a Gas Puff Imaging (GPI) to measure the intensity of 587.6-nm He I line to investigate plasma evolution, (5) a Multi-Color GPI (MC-GPI) to specify electron temperature and plasma density based on the line-intensity-ratio technique, (6) a Doppler Coherent Imaging Spectroscopy (CIS) to measure two-dimensional plasma velocity, (7) a Near-Infrared PCI (NI-PCI) based on a 1.55-μm fiber laser, (8) a Main-Ion Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (MI-CXRS) for main ion temperature measurement, and (9) a Fast Ion Dα Imaging (FIDA-I) to image two-dimensional energetic ion profiles. The main characteristic of these diagnostics is the high spatiotemporal resolution which is at the orders of millimeters and microseconds to meet the requirement of turbulence investigation. First experimental results obtained by using some of these new diagnostics, such as poloidal asymmetry of flow velocity during edge localized modes (ELMs), localized pedestal mode in high-β ELM-free H-mode, two-dimensional evolution of density blobs and the quasi-coherent mode in H-mode configuration, are also presented.

Neutral pions are observed in the forward direction relative to the transversely polarized proton beam, in the pseudorapidity region 2.7lηl3.8. Results are presented for π0s observed in the STAR forward meson spectrometer electromagnetic calorimeter in narrow Feynman x (xF) and transverse momentum (pT) bins, spanning the range 0.172.5 GeV/c. It is further observed that the value of AN is significantly larger for events with a large-pT isolated π0 than for events with a nonisolated π0 accompanied by additional jetlike fragments. The nuclear dependence r(A) is similar for isolated and nonisolated π0 events.

Abstract

The beam energy scan (BES) program at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) was extended to energies below sNN=7.7 GeV in 2015 by successful implementation of the fixed-target mode of operation in the STAR (Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC) experiment. In this mode, ions circulate in one ring of the collider and interact with a stationary target at the entrance of the STAR time projection chamber. The first results for Au+Au collisions at sNN=4.5 GeV are presented, demonstrating good performance of all the relevant detector subsystems in fixed-target mode. Results presented here include directed and elliptic flow of identified hadrons, and radii from pion femtoscopy. The latter, together with recent HADES results, reveal a long-sought peak structure that may be caused by the system evolving through a first-order phase transition from quark-gluon plasma to the hadronic phase. Directed and elliptic flow for pions are presented for the first time at this beam energy. Pion and proton elliptic flow show behavior which hints at constituent quark scaling, and demonstrate that a definitive conclusion will be achievable using the full statistics of the ongoing second phase of BES (BES-II). In particular, BES-II to date has recorded fixed-target data sets with two orders of magnitude more events at each of nine energies between sNN=3.0 and 7.7 GeV.

Abstract

The incidence of SAP (stroke-associated pneumonia) is high in integrated ICU (Intensive Care Unit), and it might result in sepsis, which exacerbates the clinical outcome and increases mortality. It is necessary to investigate the epidemiological features of post-stroke infection and sepsis, identify the risk factors and analyze the prognosis.We retrospectively analyzed the data of 329 patients with cerebral infarction or cerebral hemorrhage, from seven tertiary university hospitals in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016. Basic demographic and clinical data including common health evaluation, stroke severity, microbiological parameters, surgical interventions and treatments were recorded for the analysis. SAP was diagnosed according to the criteria and recommendation from American Heart Association (AHA).188 (66.4%) patients suffered pneumonia, 124 patients were diagnosed as SAP. Compared with SAP, patients with non-SAP pulmonary infection had prolonged mechanical ventilation time, prolonged central venous catheter indwelling time, and higher incidence of sepsis (17.7% vs. 48.4%). 53 patients (18.7%) developed sepsis during hospitalization, whose mortality rate during hospitalization and the occurrence of neurologic dysfunction at 3 months were significantly increased (p0.05). 130 positive results of sputum cultures were found. The detected pathogens were mainly gram-negative bacteria. The pathogenic detection rate of non-SAP patients with pulmonary infection was higher (78.1%). The in-hospital mortality was 16.3% and the related risk factors were higher NIHSS score at admission, lower GCS score at admission, pulmonary infection (especially non-SAP pulmonary infection) and sepsis during hospitalization.The incidence of pulmonary infection after stroke in the integrated ICU is high, and it is easy to be complicated with sepsis, prolonging the mechanical ventilation time, central venous catheter indwelling time and hospitalization time, and the prognosis of long-term neurological function is relatively poor. The definition of stroke-associated pneumonia has implications for the classification of clinical infections, the prediction of possible pathogenic pathogens, and the guidance of anti-infective treatment.

Abstract

Accidental overloading such as vehicle impact causes significantly larger loading to structures than normal service load, which requires a larger safety margin in design and consequent higher construction costs. Safety margin and construction costs are two conflicting goals for structural design. By providing a fuse in a structure that is triggered at a certain level of overloading, further increase of loading can be prohibited and failure of the structure is changed to a safer mode. Control of overloading reduces the partial safety factor for loading. Enforcement of a safer failure mode further reduces the demand for safety reserve. Therefore, such a fused structure requires a significantly smaller safety margin, leading to more economical construction without compromising safety. The use of a fuse will also facilitate safer use of advanced construction materials such as fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. In this case, a fuse can transfer the sudden and dangerous failure mode associated with brittle FRP debonding or rupture to a safe and ductile failure mode at the fuse location. This paper introduces a new type of fused structure as well as an associated design philosophy and approach that is suitable for structures with high impact resistance.

Abstract

Subgingival microorganisms can orchestrate the microbial community under the influence of environmental factors, thus causing the initiation and progression of periodontitis. Keystone taxa play an important role in the dynamic changes of microbial community. The co-occurrence network analysis may pave the way for screening periodontitis associated candidate keystone taxa in the periodontal microflora. These microorganisms, e.g.菌斑微生物之间存在复杂的相互作用，在环境因素的影响下可使群落产生重构，促进牙周炎的发生与发展。关键微生物在调节微生物群落动态变化中十分重要。在牙周微生态中，共存网络构建和分析的方法有助于筛选牙周炎相关的关键微生物以便进一步进行实验研究。这些微生物如牙龈卟啉单胞菌等可以作为微生物成员的重要联络者协同调节群落毒力等特征，或作为响应环境因素的重要调控因子如介导免疫失衡推动群落结构和功能重塑。本文将从微生物共存网络构建、应用网络拓扑分析技术进行关键微生物筛选与预测，以及与牙周炎发生发展相关的关键微生物等方面进行综述，为进一步确定关键微生物以及研究此类微生物在群落动态变化中的作用提供参考。.

The polarization parameters, λθ, λφ, and λθφ, are measured as a function of transverse momentum (pT) in both the helicity and Collins-Soper (CS) reference frames within pTl10 GeV/c. Except for λθ in the CS frame at the highest measured pT, all three polarization parameters are consistent with 0 in both reference frames without any strong pT dependence. Several model calculations are compared with data, and the one using the Color Glass Condensate effective field theory coupled with nonrelativistic QCD gives the best overall description of the experimental results, even though other models cannot be ruled out due to experimental uncertainties.

Abstract

The latest generation of Galactic-plane surveys is enhancing our ability to study the effects of galactic environment upon the process of star formation. We present the first data from CO Heterodyne Inner Milky Way Plane Survey 2 (CHIMPS2). CHIMPS2 is a survey that will observe the Inner Galaxy, the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ), and a section of the Outer Galaxy in $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO, and C$^{18}$O $(J = 3\rightarrow2)$ emission with the Heterodyne Array Receiver Program on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). The first CHIMPS2 data presented here are a first look towards the CMZ in $^{12}$CO J = 3$\rightarrow$2 and cover $-3^{\circ}\leq\,\ell\,\leq\,5^{\circ}$ and $\mid$b$\mid \leq 0.5^{\circ}$ with angular resolution of 15 arcsec, velocity resolution of 1 km s$^{-1}$, and rms $\Delta T_A ^\ast =$ 0.58 K at these resolutions. Such high-resolution observations of the CMZ will be a valuable data set for future studies, whilst complementing the existing Galactic Plane surveys, such as SEDIGISM, the Herschel infrared Galactic Plane Survey, and ATLASGAL. In this paper, we discuss the survey plan, the current observations and data, as well as presenting position-position maps of the region. The position-velocity maps detect foreground spiral arms in both absorption and emission., Comment: 18 pages, 14 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS

Abstract

The measurements of particle multiplicity distributions have generated considerable interest in understanding the fluctuations of conserved quantum numbers in the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) hadronization regime, in particular near a possible critical point and near the chemical freeze-out. Net-protons and net-kaons have been used as proxies for the net-baryon number and net-strangeness, respectively. We report the measurement of efficiency- and centrality-bin width-corrected cumulant ratios (C2/C1, C3/C2) of net-Λ distributions, in the context of both strangeness and baryon number conservation, as a function of collision energy, centrality, and rapidity. The results are for Au+Au collisions at five beam energies (sNN=19.6, 27, 39, 62.4, and 200 GeV) recorded with the Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR). We compare our results to the Poisson and negative binomial (NBD) expectations, as well as to ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics (UrQMD) and hadron resonance gas (HRG) model predictions. Both NBD and Poisson baselines agree with data within the statistical and systematic uncertainties. UrQMD describes the measured net-ΛC1 and C3 at 200 GeV reasonably well but deviates from C2, and the deviation increases as a function of collision energy. The ratios of the measured cumulants show no features of critical fluctuations. The chemical freeze-out temperatures extracted from a recent HRG calculation, which was successfully used to describe the net-proton, net-kaon, and net-charge data, indicate Λ freeze-out conditions similar to those of kaons. However, large deviations are found when comparing with temperatures obtained from net-proton fluctuations. The net-Λ cumulants show a weak but finite dependence on the rapidity coverage in the acceptance of the detector, which can be attributed to quantum number conservation.

Abstract

Sacral stress fractures are rare complications which can arise during pregnancy or in the early postpartum period. We report a case and discuss the findings of a confirmed postpartum sacral stress fracture in a 39-year-old multiparous woman and review previous case reports in the literature of sacral stress fracture related to pregnancy.A review of the literature was conducted to examine the main characteristics of sacral stress fractures related to pregnancy. The Ovid/Medline, Embase and Google Scholar databases were searched with the inclusion criteria: human studies, English language, intrapartum, postpartum (within 6 months of parturition), sacrum and stress fracture. Our exclusion criteria included pubic fractures, vertebral fractures and non-English articles. The search terms included "stress fracture", "postpartum", "pregnancy", "atraumatic" and the wildcard "sacr*". Thirty-four cases were found and summarised in Table 2.A total of 65% of patients had onset of symptoms postpartum. Most patients did not have risk factors for sacral stress fractures including macrosomia, excessive pregnancy weight gain, heparin exposure, rapid vaginal delivery or predisposition to accelerated osteoporosis. Lumbar radiculopathy can be a feature of sacral stress fracture and it is more common (17.6%) than reported in the literature (2%). MRI is the preferred imaging modality for its safety profile in pregnancy and high sensitivity. A total of 70% reported normal bone mineral density (BMD). The mainstay treatment for sacral stress fractures includes relative bed rest, analgesia and modified weight-bearing exercises. Most patients have favourable outcome with complete symptom resolution.Sacral stress fractures in the absence of osteoporosis are rare complications of pregnancy that can present with lumbar radiculopathy. Conservative management often produces good clinical outcomes.

Abstract

The point-contact-spectroscopy measurement is a powerful method to detect the superconducting gap and the spin polarization of materials. However, it is difficult to get a stable and clean point contact by conventional techniques. In this work, we fabricate multiple point contacts by depositing Au nanoparticle arrays on the surface of a superconductor through an anodic aluminum oxide patterned shadow mask. We obtained the superconducting gaps of niobium nitride thin film (NbN, = 16 K) and iron superconductors CaFe0.88Co0.12AsF single crystals (Ca-1111, T-c= 21.3 K) by fitting the point-contact spectroscopy with the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk theory. We found that NbN's gap (Delta) exhibits the BCS-like temperature dependence with Delta approximate to 2.88 meV at 0 K and 2 Delta/k(B)T(C) approximate to 4.22 in agreement with previous reports. By contrast, Ca-1111 has a multigap structure with Delta(l) approximate to 1.99 meV and Delta(2) approximate to 5.01 meV at 0 K, and the ratio between the superconducting gap and Tc is 2 Delta(1)/KBTc = 2.2 and 2 Delta(2)/KBTc = 5.5, suggesting an unconventional paring mechanism of Ca-1111 also in agreement with previous reports on other Fe-based superconductors. Our multiple point-contacts method thus provides an alternative way to perform measurements of the superconducting gap.

These correlations were measured for both like-sign and unlike-sign charge combinations and versus the centrality. The correlations of pions and kaons show the expected near-side ({\it i.e.}, at small relative angles) peak resulting from short-range mechanisms. The amplitudes of these short-range correlations decrease with increasing beam energy. However, the proton correlation functions exhibit strong anticorrelations in the near-side region. This behavior is observed for the first time in an A+A collision system. The observed anticorrelation is $p_{T}$-independent and decreases with increasing beam energy and centrality. The experimental results are also compared to the Monte Carlo models UrQMD, Hijing, and AMPT.

Abstract

Background Childhood asthma comprises different phenotypes with complex pathophysiology. Different asthma phenotypes evoke various clinical symptoms and vary in their responses to treatments. Methods We applied k-means clustering algorithm of twelve objective laboratory tests among 351 asthmatic children enrolled in the Taiwanese Consortium of Childhood Asthma Study (TCCAS). We constructed gene expression profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from children with different asthma phenotypes. Results Five distinct phenotypes of childhood asthma were identified and can be characterized by either eosinophil-predominant or neutrophil-predominant inflammatory characteristics. In the gene expression profile analysis, significant differences were noted for neutrophil-predominant asthma, compared with samples from all the other asthma phenotypes. The vast majority of the differentially expressed genes in neutrophil-predominant asthma was associated with corticosteroid response. From an independent inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) response cohort, we also found neutrophils could be activated in this severe asthma phenotype and neutrophil-predominant asthma may be associated with corticosteroid nonresponsiveness. Conclusion Phenotype clustering of childhood asthma can be helpful to identify clinically relevant patients and reveal different inflammatory characteristics in asthmatic children. Neutrophil-predominant asthma is the most severe asthma phenotype with poor corticosteroid response. Gene expression profile of different asthma phenotypes not only improve our knowledge of childhood asthma, but also can guide asthma precision medicine.

Abstract

This paper presents a numerical model for accurately representing the behaviors of lead-rubber bearings during earthquakes. This model, which is implemented in OpenSees as a user-defined element, accounts for the mechanical characteristics of bearings as follows: firstly, the bi-lateral interaction effect of hysteretic behaviors, as well as the variation in horizontal stiffness due to vertical load, is considered; secondly, the reduced vertical stiffness under large lateral displacement is incorporated by the piecewise linear formulation, and the linear reduction method is employed to determine the stability limit of bearings in the deformed configuration; furthermore, the cavitation and permanent damage effects in bearings are mathematically included. To validate the numerical model, simulation analyses are performed for a series of static and dynamic loading tests, and the numerical results show reasonable agreement with experimental ones, which indicates that the proposed model provides an effective tool for the failure mode analyses of bearings and the dynamic analyses of seismic isolated structures.

Abstract

The processing of social stimuli, such as human faces, is impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which could be accounted for by their lack of social motivation. The current study examined how the attentional processing of faces in children with ASD could be modulated by the learning of face-reward associations. Sixteen high-functioning children with ASD and 20 age- and ability-matched typically developing peers participated in the experiments. All children started with a reward learning task, in which the children were presented with three female faces that were attributed with positive, negative, and neutral values, and were required to remember the faces and their associated values. After this, they were tested on the recognition of the learned faces and a visual search task in which the learned faces served as the distractor. We found a modulatory effect of the face-reward associations on the visual search but not the recognition performance in both groups despite the lower efficacy among children with ASD in learning the face-reward associations. Specifically, both groups responded faster when one of the distractor faces was associated with positive or negative values than when the distractor face was neutral, suggesting an efficient attentional processing of these reward-associated faces. Our findings provide direct evidence for the perceptual-level modulatory effect of reward learning on the attentional processing of faces in individuals with ASD. Autism Res 2017, 10: 1797–1807. © 2017 International Society for Autism Research, Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Lay Summary In our study, we tested whether the face processing of individuals with ASD could be changed when the faces were associated with different social meanings. We found no effect of social meanings on face recognition, but both groups responded faster in the visual search task when one of the distractor faces was associated with positive or negative values than when the neutral face. The findings suggest that children with ASD could efficiently process faces associated with different values like typical children.

Abstract

We report the first measurement of the inclusive jet and the dijet longitudinal double-spin asymmetries, ALL, at midrapidity in polarized pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy s=510 GeV. The inclusive jet ALL measurement is sensitive to the gluon helicity distribution down to a gluon momentum fraction of x≈0.015, while the dijet measurements, separated into four jet-pair topologies, provide constraints on the x dependence of the gluon polarization. Both results are consistent with previous measurements made at s=200 GeV in the overlapping kinematic region, x>0.05, and show good agreement with predictions from recent next-to-leading order global analyses.

48. Modified Plastic-Damage Model for Fiber Reinforced Polymer-Confined Repaired Concrete Columns

Abstract

Concrete Damaged Plasticity Model (CDPM) is capable of modeling the stress-strain behavior of confined concrete. Nevertheless, the accuracy of the model largely depends on its parameters. To date, most research works mainly focus on the identification and modification of the parameters for fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) confined concrete prior to damage. And, it has been established that the FRP-strengthened concrete behaves differently to FRP-repaired concrete. This paper presents a modified plastic damage model within the context of the CDPM in ABAQUS for modelling of a uniformly FRP-confined repaired concrete under monotonic loading. The proposed model includes infliction damage, elastic stiffness, yield criterion and strain hardening rule. The distinct feature of damaged concrete is elastic stiffness reduction; this is included in the model. Meanwhile, the test results were obtained from a physical testing of repaired concrete. The dilation model is expressed as a function of the lateral stiffness of the FRP-jacket. The finite element predictions are shown to be in close agreement with the obtained test results of the repaired concrete. It was observed from the study that with necessary modifications, finite element method is capable of modeling FRP-repaired concrete structures.
