DFT Study on the CoXe Bond in the HCo ( CO ) 3 Xe Adduct

The metal-xenon interaction has been studied in hydrido-cobalt-carbonyl complexes by means of density functional methods. The method of choice has been selected after testing various functionals including dispersion correction on the bond dissociation enthalpy of Xe in the Cr(CO) 5 Xe adduct. In general, the long range corrected versions of popular gradient-corrected functionals performedwell. In particular, LC-mPWPW91 resulted in a perfect match with available experimental data; therefore this functional was selected for the computation of HCo(CO) 3 Xe adducts. For HCo(CO) 3 Xe two isomers have been located; the structure with C S symmetry has proved to be more stable by 5.3 kcal/mol than the C 3V adduct in terms of free energy.The formation of HCo(CO) 3 Xe is, however, endergonic by 3.5 kcal/mol for the C S isomer.

Gang Liu Qin Liu Sheng-Rong Sun 1Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei 430060, China; 2Department of Breast Surgery, Thyroid Surgery, Huangshi Central Hospital of Edong Healthcare Group, Hubei Polytechnic University, Huangshi, Hubei, 435000, China Background: The aim of this study was to develop and validate nomograms to predict the survival in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Patients and methods: Adult patients who were surgically treated for PTC were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program (2004–2013). A multivariate analysis using the Cox proportional hazards regression was performed, and nomograms for predicting 10-year overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were constructed. The discrimination and calibration plots were used to measure the accuracy of the nomograms. Results: The records of 63,219 patients with PTC were retrospectively analyzed. Nine independent factors including age, race, sex, marital status, tumor size, extrathyroidal extension, radioactive iodine, T stage, and M stage were assembled into the OS nomogram. A nomogram predicting CSS was constructed based on eight factors (age, sex, marital status, tumor size, extrathyroidal extension, T stage, N stage, and M stage). With respect to the training set, the nomograms displayed improved discrimination power compared to the TNM staging system (6th edition) in both sets. The calibration curve for the probability of survival showed agreement between the predictive nomograms and the actual observation. Conclusion: We have successfully developed prognostic nomograms to predict OS and CSS for PTC with excellent discrimination and calibration.
On the end-to-end connectivity evolution of the Internet

The Internet is a system under continuous evolution. In this paper, we characterize and analyze the recent end-to-end connectivity evolution of the Internet, comparing key end-to-end performance metrics from two distinct periods separated by ﬁve years. Our ﬁndings show that the average path length distribution slightly changed from 2006 to 2011, but the delay distribution actually became worse, with a 45% increase in path delay from 2006 to 2011. This directly affects network performance and degrades user experience. Furthermore, we show that path diversity decreased, and accordingly, distinct paths became slightly more similar. This result has a direct impact on routing algorithms that try to explore path diversity to become more fault-tolerant.
Distinct expression and prognostic values of the replication protein A family in gastric cancer

The replication protein A (RPA)1-4 family are single-stranded DNA-binding proteins that are essential components of DNA replication, repair and recombination, and cell cycle regulation. The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the RPA family members in patients with gastric cancer (GC), using datasets retrieved from the Oncomine public database. Datasets were retrieved for the purpose of comparing the RPA expression levels between GC and normal tissues. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the overall survival (OS) times of GC patients that expressed different levels of RPA proteins. RPA1, 2, and 3 expression levels were all significantly upregulated in gastric intestinal-type, diffuse gastric, and gastric mixed adenocarcinomas, compared with those in normal mucosal tissues. Moreover, high mRNA expression levels of RPA3 and 4 predicted poorer OS times in all GCs, as well as patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative and -positive GC. The high-risk group, separated by RPA signature, showed a poorer outcome than the low-risk group. RPA3 was the most strongly correlated with CD4+ T-cell levels. In conclusion, RPAs are novel prognostic indicators in GC, and can also predict the features of immunological diseases. Future experimental investigation into the roles of RPAs concerning the pathogenesis and development of GC may provide a novel biomarker or therapeutic target, improving the prognosis of patients with GC.
Status of Athos, the soft X-ray FEL line of SwissFEL

The Athos line will cover the photon energy range from 250 to 1900 eV and will operate in parallel to the hard X-ray line Aramis of SwissFEL. The Athos FEL line starts with a fast kicker magnet followed by a dogleg transfer line, a small linac and 16 APPLE undulators. From there the photon beam passes through the photonics front end and the beamline optics before reaching the experimental stations Maloja and Furka. This contribution summarizes the two-bunch operation commissioning (two bunches in the same RF macropulse), which started in 2018, and the characterization of key components like the APPLE X undulator UE38. The Athos installation inside the tunnel is alternating with Aramis FEL user operation, and the first lasing is planned for winter 2019 / 2020.
Credit and Social Networks in Rural India VERY PRELIMINARY DRAFT

In this paper we build a measure of social trust by exploiting the overlap between different networks and by extracting link specific structural measures that depend on the link’s relationship across different networks. Using detailed loan level credit data together with social networks information, we show that households rely on network connections in various ways. Firstly, we find evidence that they use established social network connections (relatives, neighbors) to forge endogenous network connections of a specific type (credit, risk sharing). We build on recent advances in the statistics of random networks to estimate a latent network formation model to predict link formation in endogenous networks using the structure of exogenous networks. Secondly, we establish the value of credit connections on financial transactions in the informal sector.

Reinforcement learning for spacecraft attitude control

Reinforcement learning (RL) has recently shown promise in solving difficult numerical problems and has discovered non-intuitive solutions to existing problems. This study investigates the ability of a general RL agent to find an optimal control strategy for spacecraft attitude control problems. Two main types of Attitude Control Systems (ACS) are presented. First, the general ACS problem with full actuation is considered, but with saturation constraints on the applied torques, representing thruster-based ACSs. Second, an attitude control problem with reaction wheel based ACS is considered, which has more constraints on control authority. The agent is trained using the Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) RL method to obtain an attitude control policy. To ensure robustness, the inertia of the satellite is unknown to the control agent and is randomized for each simulation. To achieve efficient learning, the agent is trained using curriculum learning. We compare the RL based controller to a QRF (quaternion rate feedback) attitude controller, a well-established state feedback control strategy. We investigate the nominal performance and robustness with respect to uncertainty in system dynamics. Our RL based attitude control agent adapts to any spacecraft mass without needing to re-train. In the range of 0.1 to 100,000 kg, our agent achieves 2% better performance to a QRF controller tuned for the same mass range, and similar performance to the QRF controller tuned specifically for a given mass. The performance of the trained RL agent for the reaction wheel based ACS achieved 10 higher better reward then that of a tuned QRF controller.
A Retrospective Analysis: A Novel Index Predicts Survival and Risk-Strati ﬁ cation for Bone Destruction in 419 Newly Diagnosed Multiple Myelomas

Objective: Multiple myeloma (MM) patients with bone destruction are dif ﬁ cult to restore, so it is of great clinical signi ﬁ cance to further explore the factors affecting MM bone destruction. Methods and results: This study retrospectively analyzed 419 cases with MM. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that those MM patients with a higher concentration of Ca 2+ in serum, higher positive rate of CD138 immuno-phenotype and advanced in stage with 13q34 deletion in cytogenetics would be more prone to bone destruction, while total bile acid (TBA) and kappa chain isotope negatively correlated with bone destruction in MM patients. The Kaplan – Meier analysis indicated that Ca 2+ , serum β 2-microglobulin ( β 2-MG), hemoglobin (HGB), creatinine (CREA), uric acid (UA) and age correlated with the survival of bone destruction in MM patients. Cox regression analysis further showed that the independent prognostic factors of β 2-MG and CREA had a higher risk for early mortality in bone destruction patients. Moreover, an index was calculated based on β 2-MG and globulin (GLB) to white blood cell (WBC) ratio to predict the poor survival of bone destruction patients. Conclusion: We provide a novel marker to predict the prognosis of myeloma patients using routine examination method instead of bone marrow aspiration, and provide a reference for clinical evaluation.
Numerical Simulation of the Aeroelastic Response of Wind Turbines in Typhoons Based on the Mesoscale WRF Model

A new simulation method for the aeroelastic response of wind turbines under typhoons is proposed. The mesoscale Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model was used to simulate a typhoon’s average wind speed field. The measured power spectrum and inverse Fourier transform method were coupled to simulate the pulsating wind speed field. Based on the modal method and beam theory, the wind turbine model was constructed, and the GH-BLADED commercial software package was used to calculate the aerodynamic load and aeroelastic response. The proposed method was applied to assess aeroelastic response characteristics of a commercial 6 MW offshore wind turbine under different wind speeds and direction variation patterns for the case study of typhoon Hagupit (2008), with a maximal wind speed of 230 km/h. The simulation results show that the typhoon’s average wind speed field and turbulence characteristics simulated by the proposed method are in good agreement with the measured values: Their difference in the main flow direction is only 1.7%. The scope of the wind turbine blade in the typhoon is significantly larger than under normal wind, while that under normal operation is higher than that under shutdown, even at low wind speeds. In addition, an abrupt change in wind direction has a significant impact on wind turbine response characteristics. Under normal operation, a sharp variation of the wind direction by 90 degrees in 6 s increases the wind turbine (WT) vibration scope by 27.9% in comparison with the case of permanent wind direction. In particular, the maximum deflection of the wind tower tip in the incoming flow direction reaches 28.4 m, which significantly exceeds the design standard safety threshold.

A Comprehensive Review of DC–DC Converter Topologies and Modulation Strategies with Recent Advances in Solar Photovoltaic Systems

Renewable Energy Sources (RES) showed enormous growth in the last few years. In comparison with the other RES, solar power has become the most feasible source because of its unique properties such as clean, noiseless, eco-friendly nature, etc. During the extraction of electric power, the DC–DC converters were given the prominent interest because of their extensive use in various applications. Photovoltaic (PV) systems generally suffer from less energy conversion efficiency along with improper stability and intermittent properties. Hence, there is a necessity of the Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm to ensure the maximum power available that can be harnessed from the solar PV. In this paper, the most important features of the DC/DC converters along with the MPPT techniques are reviewed and analyzed. A detailed comprehensive analysis is made on different converter topologies of both non-isolated and isolated DC/DC converters. Then, the modulation strategies, comparative performance evaluation are addressed systematically. At the end, recent advances and future trends are described briefly and considered for the next-generation converter’s design and applications. This review work will provide a useful structure and reference point on the DC/DC converters for researchers and designers working in the field of solar PV applications.
Intercomparison of O in Precipitation Simulated by Isotopic GCMs with GNIP Observation over the East Asia

Using the isotope enabled ECHAM4, GISS E, HadCM3 and MUGCM GCMs, the spatial distribution of mean O in precipitation, the mean seasonality (JJA-DJF) and the correlations of O in precipitation with temperature and precipitation amount are analyzed. The simulation results reproduce well the stable isotopic features by the GNIP observations. Over the East Asia, the distribution of O in precipitation is of marked latitude effect and altitude effect. The largest seasonality of O in precipitation appears in the eastern Siberia controlled by cold high pressure, and the smallest one in the Western Pacific controlled by the subtropical high. The comparatively weak seasonality appears in middle latitudes where oceanic and continental air masses interact frequently. Temperature effect occurs mainly in mid-high-latitude and inlands. The higher the latitude is, the closer to inland is, and then the stronger the temperature effect is. Amount effect occurs mainly in low-mid latitudes and monsoon areas, with the strongest effect in low-latitude coasts or islands. A significant difference between simulations and observations is that the standard deviation of GCMs statistics is greater than that of GNIP statistics. On the contrary, as comparing parallelly time series at single station, the standard deviations of GCMs simulations is smaller than that of GNIP observations.
THE ANALYSIS OF MASS LOSS AND ACTIVATION ENERGY OF SELECTED FAST-GROWING TREE SPECIES AND ENERGY CROPS USING THE ARRHENIUS EQUATION

Biomass as a renewable energy source covers the energy needs of the state to a great extent. In addition to the knowledge of the available sources of biomass for the energy use, the key information on thermal properties and fire performance would contribute to further understanding of their energy properties as well as the combustion process. The aim of this analysis was to calculate the activation energies of selected fast-growing tree species (Paulownia tomentosa, Salix viminalis variety Tora, Populus x euroamericana variety MAX 4) and energy crops (Sida hermaphrodita, Arundo donax, Miscanthus x giganthus). , Spontaneous ignition temperature and induction time must be estimated to calculate the activation energy. Spontaneous ignition temperatures and induction time were determined by the Setchkin Furnace test in accordance with the standard STN ISO 871. The analyses were completed with the mass loss analysis. The mass loss of individual samples was determined by using a non-standard testing method. The values of the activation energy gathered in the analysis showed that activation energy values in all tested samples were similar, in the interval of 136.72 ± 7.28 kJ·mol. The differences in the development of mass loss of fast-growing tree species and energy crop samples were found. The mass loss course of the fast-growing tree species was more linear, while the mass loss development of energy crops could be divided into two stages.
Modeling the relationship of factors that shaped student’s loyalty

Student’s loyalty is the intention and behaviour of students that shows devotion to the institution by contributing to expand it. Having loyal students can increase the reputation and number of applicants because loyal students promote the institution from mouth to mouth. Even when they have graduated, they would still support their institution financially or in the form of collaborations. These contribute to the long-term development and the longevity of the institution. This study is made to find out about the factors that influence the level of student’s loyalty. 233 samples are gathered using complex sampling. Students in their second to third year are chosen, then they are stratified by department and random sampling is done under each stratum. From the result that uses the method Partial least square (PLS) path modelling, it shows factors that influence student’s loyalty respectively from the ones with the greatest influence are student’s satisfaction, student’s affective commitment, social environment quality, image and reputation perception, student’s perceived value, student’s trust, social integration, instructor quality, and administration quality.
Evolution of the river systems of the south-west drainage division, Western Australia

Drainage of the central Yilgarn System is confined within two north-south watersheds, the previously described Central Watershed and the Median Watershed defined here. Runoff today is either intermittent or inactive, but the entire system is gathered to a single outlet through the Median Watershed where it escapes to the Avon. The shape of the catchment with prevalence of north-south alignments, many directed to south coast rivers, suggests that the System originated with southerly drainage. The System is bounded on the south by a watershed parallel to the south coast which formed in the middle to late Cretaceous by marginal uplift of the craton during separation from Antarctica, causing reversal of drainage. There appears to have been a simultaneous down-warp along the line of the present Yilgarn River, the "Chin-Smith lineament". Before uplift the rivers incised canyons into the rifted margin of the continental platform. Subsequently the margin sagged towards the rift forming the Ravensthorpe Ramp and carrying down the valleys as submarine canyons. Along the western part of the south coast there is a secondary axis of uplift, the Stirling Range Axis, 50 km further south. On the eastern side there is evidence for a palaeoriver, the Woolgangie, which has been truncated by the Lefroy-Cowan System. Drainages to the west coast formed in the Mesozoic bounded inland by the Median Watershed. In the early Cretaceous, uplift was associated with continental separation. An extensive canyon was incised at the edge of the rift and later drowned. High sea level prevailed in the Perth Basin to the Late Cretaceous. Regression then promoted rejuvenation of the rivers. The Brockman, Mortlock North Branch and Avon owe their alignments to the Chittering and Jimperding Metamorphic Belts. In the Late Eocene, marginal uplift of the craton by 150-200 m in a belt 80 km wide brought up the Darling Range and caused diversions of drainage. Headwaters of the two Moore Rivers (north and east branches) were diverted to the south, as was the upper Mortlock (north branch). Further down, the Mortlock was relocated some distance east. The combined Avon and Yilgarn Rivers were diverted north, from a westerly course, to join the Mortlock. The Arthur and Beaufort Rivers were cut off from the Collie catchment and diverted to join the Blackwood. Depth of the palaeochannels here and beneath the Avon-Yilgarn afford proof of Darling Range uplift. Monadnocks in the Darling Range which have also been cited as evidence for uplift have been identified and mapped.
