Hyperspectral and Multispectral Image Fusion Using Coupled Non-Negative Tucker Tensor Decomposition

Fusing a low spatial resolution hyperspectral image (HSI) with a high spatial resolution multispectral image (MSI), aiming to produce a super-resolution hyperspectral image, has recently attracted increasing research interest. In this paper, a novel approach based on coupled non-negative tensor decomposition is proposed. The proposed method performs a tucker tensor factorization of a low resolution hyperspectral image and a high resolution multispectral image under the constraint of non-negative tensor decomposition (NTD). The conventional matrix factorization methods essentially lose spatio-spectral structure information when stacking the 3D data structure of a hyperspectral image into a matrix form. Moreover, the spectral, spatial, or their joint structural features have to be imposed from the outside as a constraint to well pose the matrix factorization problem. The proposed method has the advantage of preserving the spatio-spectral structure of hyperspectral images. In this paper, the NTD is directly imposed on the coupled tensors of the HSI and MSI. Hence, the intrinsic spatio-spectral structure of the HSI is represented without loss, and spatial and spectral information can be interdependently exploited. Furthermore, multilinear interactions of different modes of the HSIs can be exactly modeled with the core tensor of the Tucker tensor decomposition. The proposed method is straightforward and easy to implement. Unlike other state-of-the-art approaches, the complexity of the proposed approach is linear with the size of the HSI cube. Experiments on two well-known datasets give promising results when compared with some recent methods from the literature.
Synthesis of Cyanine Polyelectrolytes and Anions for Organic Electronic Devices

Many practical applications among organic electronic devices have been demonstrated over the last decades. They are considered as promising alternatives to inorganic semiconductor technologies due to the potential of cost-effective fabrication, excellent performance and versatile functionalities such as flexibility, portability and transparency. In this work, we mainly focused on the investigation of a special class of organic semiconductors, cyanine dyes. Starting with the synthesis of cyanine polyelectrolytes (Cy-Poly) and novel anions, new functionalities such as orthogonal solubility, crosslinking capability and photosensitizing ability were introduced and the corresponding materials as active components in organic electronic devices were explored. The utilization of cyanines allows for the mixed ionic/electronic conduction in solid organic semiconducting thin films. Due to the presence of mobile anions, an ionic junction is created as a result of the ionic motion towards respective metal electrodes. This leads to electrochemical oxidation and reduction within the organic thin film and the establishment of a built-in electric field across the intrinsic region with potential energy shifts. The electronic conductivity is considerably enhanced in the doped zones, which facilitates charge injection from the electrodes. The remarkable potential drop in the intrinsic region enables light emission of the electroluminescent materials as well as a photovoltaic response upon white light illumination. A special interest was given to the stabilization of ionic junctions in cyanine dye organic electronic devices by chemically fixing the ionic carriers in the desired position. Unexpected exciton quenching behavior was observed in the devices containing the immobilizable phenyl azide anions, which was attributed to the triplet sensitization effect of trimethine cyanines on the photodecomposition of 4-azido benzoate ions.
Recessions and the Trend in the US Unemployment Rate

The unemployment rate in the United States falls slowly in expansions, and it may not reach its previous low point before the next recession begins. Based on this feature, I document that the frequent recessions prior to 1983 are associated with an upward trend in the unemployment rate. In contrast, the long expansions beginning in 1983 are associated with a downward trend. I then estimate a two-variable vector autoregression (VAR) that includes the unemployment rate and a recession indicator. Long-horizon forecasts from this VAR conditioned on no future recessions project that the unemployment rate will go to 3.6 percent after a long period with no recessions.
Comparison of Three Prediction Rules for Assessing the Risk of Gastric Cancer in Chinese Health Examination Populations

Background The current consensus regarding gastric cancer screening in China recommends Li’s Scoring System to assess the risk of gastric cancer. Objectives To compare the predictive capacity of three prediction rules: the ABC method, the Scoring System from the Japan Public Health Center (JPHC), and Li’s Scoring System in Chinese health examination populations. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 1,436 patients undergoing gastroscopy. The patients were classified into three groups (low, medium and high risk) according to each rule. The predictive capacity of three rules to assess the risk of gastric cancer was compared. Results A total of 28 (1.95%) cases with gastric cancer were detected. The Scoring System from JPHC and Li’s Scoring System performed similarly, and the areas under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC) were 0.745 (95%CI: 0.722–0.767), and 0.739 (95%CI: 0.715–0.761), respectively. And the AUC for the ABC method was 0.642 (95%CI: 0.617–0.667), significantly lower than that for the Scoring System from JPHC (p < 0.05). Li’s Scoring System had the highest sensitivity, significantly higher than that of the Scoring System from JPHC (85.71% vs 53.57%, p<0.05). Larger proportions of low-risk patients were diagnosed as gastric cancer by the Scoring System from JPHC (1.99%) and ABC method (0.99%) than by Li’s Scoring System (0.55%). Conclusions The Scoring System from JPHC and Li’s Scoring System have a similar performance in assessing the risk of gastric cancer, but Li’s Scoring System is more effective in Chinese health examination populations because of the lowest probability of missed diagnosis.

Molecular Characterization of a Novel Partitivirus and a Fusarivirus Co-infected in the Nigrospora Sphaerica Fungus

Here we reported the molecular characterization of two novel mycoviruses co-infected in a plant pathogenic fungus, Nigrospora sphaerica that were designated as Nigrospora sphaerica fusarivirus 1 (NsFV1) and Nigrospora sphaerica partitivirus 1 (NsPV1), respectively. NsFV1 has an undivided genome of 6,147 bp, excluding the polyA tail, and was predicted to contain two nonoverlapping open reading frames (ORF1 and 2). The larger ORF1 encoded a polyprotein containing a conserved RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and a helicase domain that have functions for RNA replication, and the smaller ORF2 encoded a putative protein with an unknown function. The NsPV1 was consists of two genome segments, which were in lengths of 1,796 bp and 1,455 bp, respectively. Each of the two dsRNAs had a single ORF and were deduced to encode proteins with homology to viral RdRp and coat protein (CP), respectively, in the family Partitiviridae. Phylogenetic analysis showed that NsFV1 was placed within the newly proposed family Fusariviridae, while NsPV1 was belonging to the genus Gammapartitivirus in the family Partitiviridae. This was the first description of mycovirses infected the fungus N. sphaerica.
The Role of F18-FLT PET / CT in Assessing Early Response to TARE and TACE in Patients with Primary and Metastatic Liver Tumors

ObjectiveThis study aims to identify F18-FLT PET / CT's role in the assessment of early response to intraarterial chemoembolization and radioembolization treatments in patients with unresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors.MethodsThis single-center study included 63 patients who underwent F18-FLT PET / CT for response evaluation after TACE and TARE treatments. After excluding 20 patients due to various reasons, 43 patients were analyzed. The compatibility of change in semi-quantitative values obtained from the F18-FLT PET / CT images with the treatment responses detected in F18-FDG PET / CT, CT, and MR images was evaluated.ResultsThere was no correlation between early metabolic, morphological response, F18-FLT visual change, ΔSUVmax, ΔSUVmean, and ΔSUVpeak values. There was no significant correlation between F18-FLT visual change, ΔSUVmax, ΔSUVmean, ΔSUVpeak, and OS, PFS for the target lobe PFS for the whole-body. The survival distributions for the patients with and without >30% change in ΔSUVmax and ΔSUVpeak values were statistically significantly different (p < .009 and p < .024, respectively). ConclusionIt has not been demonstrated that F18-FLT PET / CT imaging is one of the methodologies that should be applied primarily in monitoring early response to embolization treatment in patients with unresectable primary and metastatic liver tumors.
Fingerprint-Based Detection of Non-Local Effects in the Electronic Structure of a Simple Single Component Covalent System

Using fingerprints used mainly in machine learning schemes of the potential energy surface, we detect in a fully algorithmic way long range effects on local physical properties in a simple covalent system of carbon atoms. The fact that these long range effects exist for many configurations implies that atomistic simulation methods, such as force fields or modern machine learning schemes, that are based on locality assumptions, are limited in accuracy. We show that the basic driving mechanism for the long range effects is charge transfer. If the charge transfer is known, locality can be recovered for certain quantities such as the band structure energy.
Breaking stochastic tradeoffs with a dry deposited and dry developed EUV photoresist system

We discuss here our revolutionary technique to both apply photo resist and develop latent images in photo resist using dry technologies instead of the existing wet spin coating and development that have been the standard over the last several decades. We will review the key advantages of dry resist processing over wet resist processing: stability, photo sensitivity, environmental footprint, and cost. This nascent technology has demonstrated best in class resist performance at leading edge design rules, breaks several long standing tradeoffs in EUV photoresist materials, and opens the door to a new world of innovations in EUV lithography patterning.
Studies on Pulsed-wave Doppler Echocardiographic Parameters of Blood Flow through Mitral, Tricuspid and Aortic Valves in Healthy Indian Spitz Dogs

Background: Pulsed-wave Doppler measures blood flow at specific point and provides information on velocity, direction and uniformity of blood flow throughout cardiac cycle. Till date, there is no published data on study of cardiac parameters using pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography in Indian Spitz dogs.Methods: Twenty-four clinically normal Indian Spitz dogs were subjected to pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography to determine the reference intervals for Doppler parameters of blood flow through mitral, tricuspid and aortic valves. Mitral peak E and A-wave velocities, E/A ratio, deceleration time, isovolumic relaxation time, E and A-wave velocity time integral, E duration and A duration were 0.69±0.09 m/s, 0.43±0.12 m/s, 1.69±0.45, 111.25±35.94 ms, 48.50±24.77 ms, 0.07±0.01 m and 0.04±0.02 m, 196.88±44.38 ms and 181.25±64.89 ms, respectively. Tricuspid peak E and A-wave velocities, E/A ratio and E and A-wave velocity time integral were 0.57±0.11 m/s, 0.38±0.08 m/s, 1.56±0.32 and 0.07±0.02 m and 0.05±0.01 m, respectively. Aortic peak velocity, velocity time integral and ejection time were 0.87±0.07 m/s, 0.11±0.02 m and 0.25±0.04 s, respectively. Conclusion: The reference values of flow parameters across mitral, tricuspid and aortic valves using pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiography were determined. Mitral, tricuspid and aortic valve flow variables were unaffected by gender whereas isovolumic relaxation correlated positively with body weight.
Intersections of Immigration and Sexual/Reproductive Health: An Umbrella Literature Review with a Focus on Health Equity

Identifying the opportunities and barriers of promoting and fulfilling the sexual health rights of migrants remains a challenge that requires systematic assessment. Such an assessment would include estimating the influence of acculturation processes on sexual and reproductive health, and mapping intersectional inequities that influence migrants’ sexual and reproductive health in comparison with the native population. The aim of this research was to locate, select, and critically assess/summarize scientific evidence regarding the social, cultural, and structural factors influencing migrants’ sexual and reproductive health outcomes in comparison with native population. An umbrella review of systematic reviews and/or meta-analyses, following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) standards was undertaken. Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched from their start date until June 2019. The quality of the included articles was determined using the assessment of multiple systematic reviews tool (AMSTAR 2). From the 36 selected studies, only 12 compared migrant with native populations. Overall, the findings indicated that migrants tend to underuse maternal health services and have an increased risk of poor sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Specific intersectional inequities were identified and discussed.
Hydroquinone‐Based Biarylic Polyphenols as Redox Organocatalysts for Dioxygen Reduction: Dramatic Effect of Orcinol Substituent on the Catalytic Activity

A series of 18 new biaryls has been synthesized and investigated with regard to their organocatalytic efficiency. They consist of a hydroquinone core linked to a phenol or a resorcinol moiety. It is shown that the resorcinol moiety substituted on its meta position has a strong impact on the catalytic activities of these compounds towards the reduction of dioxygen by diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) in aqueous medium. While the derivative consisting of the two cores spaced by three methylene units is completely inactive, substitution on the hydroquinone part leads to tremendously active catalysts, especially the biaryl consisting of methoxyhydroquinone-orcinol. Two mechanisms are proposed to explain the dramatic efficiency of the novel hydroquinone-based biarylic polyphenols for the catalytic reduction of dioxygen, both considering the influence of the orcinol moiety on the semiquinone anion intermediate. As a first hypothesis, this substituent could promote its direct reduction by DEHA to regenerate the hydroquinone, which will react again to regenerate the semiquinone. On the other hand, an intramolecular hydrogen bond could enhance the reactivity of the semiquinone anion toward dioxygen by an addition–elimination mechanism. In this case, the elimination would provide the corresponding quinone but, since the reduction of the quinones by DEHA is much slower than the observed kinetics, a reduction by DEHA prior to the elimination has to be considered to generate the semiquinone anion instead of the quinone.
Agricultural Drought Trends on the Iberian Peninsula: An Analysis Using Modeled and Reanalysis Soil Moisture Products

Drought has a great impact on agriculture and food security, and climate change is increasing its frequency and exacerbating its intensity. Given the enormous interest in studying the recent drought evolution, in this work, agricultural drought trends over the past four decades on the Iberian Peninsula (IP) were analyzed. A trend analysis was performed with soil moisture based on the study of the evolution of anomalies and the Soil Water Deficit Index (SWDI). Two soil moisture databases (Lisflood and ERA5-Land) were used and the analysis was performed at daily and weekly temporal scales. Climate characteristics and soil properties were also considered to detect whether a trend spatial pattern could be identified. The results have shown a clear predominance of negative trends. A marked temporal pattern with negative trends was obtained over a 10-month period that coincided with the growing season of most of the crops on the IP, while a positive trend was observed over 2 months. No differences were found based on the climatic zone or soil characteristics. However, negative trends were observed to decrease as the clay content increased. These results can provide useful information for better water management and agriculture of the IP and other Mediterranean areas.
Fatal COVID-19 outcomes are associated with an antibody response targeting epitopes shared with endemic coronaviruses

It is unclear whether prior endemic coronavirus infections affect COVID-19 severity. Here, we show that in cases of fatal COVID-19, antibody responses to the SARS-COV-2 spike are directed against epitopes shared with endemic beta-coronaviruses in the S2 subunit of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This immune response is associated with the compromised production of a de novo SARS-CoV-2 spike response among individuals with fatal COVID-19 outcomes.
Electronic and Structural Properties of Ultrathin SiO2 Nanowires

The simulated annealing basin-hopping (SABH) method incorporating the penalty function was used to predict the lowest-energy structures for SiO2 nanowires of different sizes. The eight lowest-energy structures for different nanowire sizes were predicted, including two-, three-, four-, and five-membered structures (2MR, 2MR-2O, 3MR-3O, 4MR-4O, and 5MR-5O), 4MR-3facet, 4MR-4facet, and 4MR-5facet (4MR-3f, 4MR-4f, and 4MR-5f). A previous experimental study (Liu et al. ACS Nano 2009, 3 (5), 1160−1166) successfully synthesized silica nanotubes in a confined CNT cylindrical space and found various structures along a range of CNT diameters from 1.2 to 1.4 nm. At diameters larger than 1.7 nm, a disordered structure formed, different from the double-ladder SiO2 structures. This simulation’s predicted structures are in good agreement with this experimental result for 4MR and 5MR structures. In addition, this work predicted 4MR-3f, 4MR-4f, and 4MR-5f structures, which were not found in previous experimental work. Fin.
How Social Media Shapes One’s Public Mood: The Three-Way Interaction Effect of Sphere, Information Valence, and Justice Sensitivity

Public mood is a key concept in explaining collective activity, but the way social media shapes an audience’s public mood is still not fully understood. This study aims to explore how social media posts with various characteristics change public mood. The authors asked 351 participants to read 30 microblog newsletters with a 2 × 2 between-subject design (public × private sphere; positive × negative value). The results showed that (a) positive private information decreased negative public mood, (b) positive public information decreased positive public mood rather than increasing it, and (c) negative private information reduced the positive public mood of individuals who were high in justice sensitivity. The discussion focuses on the adverse effect of overexposure to positive public information and how individuals’ means of information processing vary.
An empirical study on the evaluation of the RDF storage systems

In this paper, we introduce three new implementations of non-native methods for storing RDF data. These methods named RDFSPO, RDFPC and RDFVP, are based respectively on the statement table, property table and vertical partitioning approaches. As important, we consider the issue of how to select the most relevant strategy for storing the RDF data depending on the dataset characteristics. For this, we investigate the balancing between two performance metrics, including load time and query response time. In this context, we provide an empirical comparative study between on one hand the three proposed methods, and on the other hand the proposed methods versus the existing ones by using various publicly available datasets. Finally, in order to further assess where the statistically significant differences appear between studied methods, we have performed a statistical analysis, based on the non-parametric Friedman test followed by a Nemenyi post-hoc test. The obtained results clearly show that the proposed RDFVP method achieves highly competitive computational performance against other state-of-the-art methods in terms of load time and query response time.
Determinants of Decarbonisation in the Transformation of the Energy Sector: The Case of Poland

This paper aims to identify the determinants of the decarbonisation processes in Poland within the scope of energy transformation. The purpose of the study is to identify how the public perceives decarbonisation determinants in order to develop a sustainable energy strategy for Poland. The transition of the energy market to low-carbon technology is a policy challenge. Governments must implement policies that are environmentally friendly, cost-effective, but, most of all, socially acceptable. Social acceptance risk plays a significant role in Poland, influencing the decarbonisation process. In Poland’s case, the coal share is decreasing, but it is still the most important fuel for electricity production. This process of decarbonisation is a fundamental influence on the transformation of the energy sector in Poland. The social perception of solutions that can be applied was examined. The Polish natural environment is poisoned. Poles suffer from diseases related to the burning of coal for energy production. Societal awareness, how people perceive the government’s actions, and what they expect in this regard is crucial.
