Rigorous continuation of bifurcation points in the diblock copolymer equation

We develop general methods for rigorously computing continuous branches of bifurcation points of equilibria, specifically focusing on fold points and on pitchfork bifurcations which are forced through \begin{document}${\mathbb{Z}}_2$\end{document} symmetries in the equation. We apply these methods to secondary bifurcation points of the one-dimensional diblock copolymer model.
User/Player Type in Gamification

Gamification is defined as the use of game design elements in non-game contexts. Even though game design elements were integrated into the gamification application, some researches show negative and mixed outcome about user engagement and performance. The purpose of users segmentation is to identify groups which share commonalities characteristic but still profoundly different from each other. There are four types of users subdivision; demographic, psychographic, geographic, and behavioural. Our goal is to explore the theoretical and conceptual aspects of the player/user type towards creating an engaging gamification application by doing a literature survey. Our finding shows that the user type profile is not inclusive to one characteristic as it may be derived from a combination of either all types. The classification can guide the gamification designer to decide which game elements to incorporate into the gamified application. It is essential to consider a suitable game mechanics with user types because some researches have shown that certain game elements will produce an adverse outcome towards a specific user type. It is also recommended to suit an individual motivational preference with suitable game elements by using an adaptive approach. Furthermore, most of the gamification user type research is still using games player types such as Bartle’s Taxonomy and BrainHex, while HEXAD is a well-accepted model to describe gamification user type.
Tsunami hazard and risk assessment for multiple buildings by considering the spatial correlation of wave height using copulas

Abstract. It is necessary to evaluate aggregate damage probability to multiple buildings when performing probabilistic risk assessment for the buildings. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate a method of tsunami hazard and risk assessment for two buildings far away from each other, using copulas of tsunami hazards that consider the nonlinear spatial correlation of tsunami wave heights. First, we simulated the wave heights considering uncertainty by varying the slip amount and fault depths. The frequency distributions of the wave heights were evaluated via the response surface method. Based on the distributions and numerically simulated wave heights, we estimated the optimal copula via maximum likelihood estimation. Subsequently, we evaluated the joint distributions of the wave heights and the aggregate damage probabilities via the marginal distributions and the estimated copulas. As a result, the aggregate damage probability of the 99th percentile value was approximately 1.0 % higher and the maximum value was approximately 3.0 % higher while considering the wave height correlation. We clearly showed the usefulness of copula modeling considering the wave height correlation in evaluating the probabilistic risk of multiple buildings. We only demonstrated the risk evaluation method for two buildings, but the effect of the wave height correlation on the results is expected to increase if more points are targeted.
BCR-ABL Positive Childhood Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Background : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a rare disease entity in the pediatric age group constituting about 3-5% of childhood leukemia. The natural history and biologic characteristics of the disease are similar to adult CML. In addition, the response to therapy (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) is equally remarkable with no limiting side effect reported thus far. Case Report : We report a rare case of BCR-ABL positive CML in a 16 year old teenage girl. Conclusion : The aim of this study is to bring to the similarities in the molecular pathology and management between this very rare childhood leukemia and the adult-type.
On the Differences Between the South Pacific Meridional and Quadrupole Modes

The South Pacific quadrupole (SPQ) and South Pacific meridional mode (SPMM) are the dominant modes of South Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variability. Both SST modes have been found to affect the occurrence of El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events. In this study, the authors examine the differences between the SPQ and SPMM in terms of their spatial structure, temporal variations, and impacts on ENSO using observational and Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) model data. As a local SST mode defined in the subtropical southeast Pacific, the SPMM has large‐amplitude SST anomalies (SSTAs) mainly confined in the southeast Pacific. In contrast, as a basin‐scale SST mode defined in the South Pacific basin, the SPQ has large‐amplitude SSTAs over the southeast Pacific as well as over the southwest Pacific and high‐latitude South Pacific. In addition, the SPQ has its temporal variability independent of the SPMM, and the occurrence of strong SPQ events is not always simultaneous with strong SPMM events. The SPQ is more closely linked than the SPMM to ENSO, possibly because the SPQ includes an additional component of SSTAs in the southwest Pacific and high‐latitude South Pacific. These findings suggest that compared with the SPMM, the SPQ may act as an improved precursor signal for ENSO events. The results have implications for understanding the respective roles of SSTAs over different regions of the South Pacific in influencing ENSO. Plain Language Summary El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is known to have profound impacts on worldwide climate systems, and a better understanding of the effect of the South Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) modes on ENSO may help to improve the skill of climate predictions. In this study, we show that two dominate modes of South Pacific SST variability, the South Pacific quadrupole (SPQ) and South Pacific meridional mode (SPMM), have different impacts on ENSO. The SPQ is more closely linked than the SPMM to ENSO for lead times of up to a year, suggesting that the SPQ may represent a more reliable precursor signal than the SPMM for ENSO events. The reason for this is may be that the SPQ includes an additional component of SST anomalies (SSTAs) in the southwest Pacific and high‐latitude South Pacific.
Biocompatible and Biodegradable Organic Transistors Using a Solid‐State Electrolyte Incorporated with Choline‐Based Ionic Liquid and Polysaccharide

Biocompatible, biodegradable, and solid‐state electrolyte‐based organic transistors are demonstrated. As the electrolyte is composed of all edible materials, which are levan polysaccharide and choline‐based ionic liquid, the organic transistor fabricated on the electrolyte can be biocompatible and biodegrable. Compared to the other ion gel based electrolytes, it has superior electrical and mechanical properties, large specific capacitance (≈40 µF cm−2), non‐volatility, flexibility, and high transparency. Thus, it shows mechanical reliability by maintaining electrical performances under up to 1.11% of effective bending strain, 5% of stretching, and have low operation voltage range when it is utilized in organic transistors. Moreover, the biodegradable electrolyte‐based organic transistors can be applied to bio‐integrated devices, such as electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings on human skin and the heart of a rat. The measured ECG signals from the transistors, compared to signals from electrode‐based sensors, has a superior signal‐to‐noise ratio. The biocompatible and biodegradable materials and devices can contribute to the development of many bioelectronics.
Design on nonfragile fuzzy filter for nonlinear time‐delay systems

This article studies the problem of nonfragile filtering for delayed nonlinear systems, which are represented by Takagi‐Sugeno (T‐S) affine‐fuzzy model. By employing a reciprocally convex matrix inequality, auxiliary function‐based summation inequalities, S‐procedure, and some decoupled techniques, an improved fuzzy filter design method is proposed. In the design process, uncertainties in filter gains are taken into account, making a contribution to enhancing the robustness of the designed fuzzy filter. This is the first study to propose a nonfragile H∞ filtering method for T‐S affine‐fuzzy systems with time delays. The obtained results enrich the theoretical research of nonlinear systems and provide theoretical guidance for practical applications. Three examples are given to reveal the merits and applicability of the new design techniques.
Future Reductions in Polar Cold Air Mass and Cold Air Outbreaks Revealed From Isentropic Analysis

This study quantifies future changes in the polar cold air mass (PCAM) below a threshold potential temperature of 280 K and its horizontal fluxes, which are an indicator for the intensity of cold air outbreaks, by analyzing the outputs from five climate models from the Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. Under the business‐as‐usual scenario, the multimodel means of the wintertime total hemispheric PCAM decrease by 37% in the Northern Hemisphere and by 34% in the Southern Hemisphere by the end of the 21st century. The midlatitude equatorward PCAM fluxes are projected to decrease significantly by around 2050. This is primarily due to the reduction of the PCAM and to a lesser extent due to the weakening of the extratropical meridional circulation. Finally, intermodel differences in the total hemispheric PCAM reduction are shown to be linearly related to the climate sensitivity to the global mean surface air temperature.
Steam Conformance along Horizontal Well with Different Well Configurations of Single Tubing: An Experimental and Numerical Investigation

Dual-pipe steam injection technique has currently demonstrated technical potential for improving heavy oil recovery. It can effectively delay the occurrence of steam fingering and homogenize the steam injection profile along the horizontal wellbore. In this paper, first, we built a cylindrical wellbore physical model to experimentally study the steam injection profiles of a single-pipe horizontal well and a concentric dual-pipe horizontal well. Thus, the heat and mass transfer behavior of steam along the horizontal wellbore with a single-pipe well configuration and a dual-pipe well configuration was addressed. Subsequently, considering the effect of pressure drops and heat loss, a semianalytical model for the gas/liquid two-phase flow in the horizontal wellbore was developed to numerically match the experimental observation. Next, a sensitivity analysis on the physical parameters and operation properties of a steam injection process was conducted. The effect of the injection fluid type was also investigated. Experimental results indicated that under the same steam injection condition, an application of dual-pipe well configuration can significantly enhance the oil drainage volume by approximately 35% than the single-pipe well configuration. During the experiments, both a temperature distribution and liquid production along the horizontal wellbore were obtained. A bimodal temperature distribution can be observed for the dual-pipe well configuration. From this proposed model, an excellent agreement can be found between the simulation results and the experimental data. Because of the effect of variable mass flowing behavior and pressure drops, the wellbore segment close to the steam outflow point can have a higher heating radius than that far from the steam outflow point. From the results of sensitivity analysis, permeability heterogeneity and steam injection parameters have a tremendous impact on the steam injection profile along the wellbore. Compared with a pure steam injection process, the coinjection of steam and noncondensable gas (NCG) can improve the effective heating wellbore length by more than 25%. This model is also applied to predict the steam conformance of an actual horizontal well in Liaohe Oilfield. This paper presents some information regarding the heat and mass transfer of a dual-pipe horizontal well, as well as imparts some of the lessons learned from its field operation.
Functional outcome following surgical management of ankle fractures

Background: The ankle fractures is one of the most common fractures, increasing in an ageing population, but not generally seen as an osteoporotic fracture. The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcome following surgical management of ankle fractures. Methods: It is a prospective study which was carried out from November 2017 to May 2019 in Rajarajeshwari Medical College and hospital, Bangalore. In this study period 30 cases of ankle fractures, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were treated by open reduction and internal fixation using appropriate implants. Clinical history, socio-demographic profile, anatomic classification and Lauge-Hansen’s classification was noted for all patients. Baird and Jackson’s ankle scoring system of subjective, objective and radiographic criteria were used for the study. All the patients were evaluated and scores were given. Results: Average time taken for fracture healing was 9.97 weeks. Superficial infection of the wound was the most common complication in our study, seen in 3 patients, which healed uneventfully. We had good to excellent functional outcome results in 83.4% of the cases and fair results in 16.6% of cases. Conclusion: Good functional results are obtained by surgical management of bimalleolar ankle fractures. Early weight bearing and mobilisation is achieved in these patients. If a weight bearing joint like ankle is involved, Anatomical reduction with restoration of the articular congruence is essential in all intra articular fractures and open reduction and internal fixation restore the articular congruity of the ankle joint.
Is the USA the Only Role Model in Town? Empirical Evidence from the Asian Barometer Survey

Based on the fourth wave of the Asian Barometer Survey, I examine the contours and determinants of East Asians’ role model choices. The results show that pro-authoritarianism rule, recognition of China’s regional hegemon status, perception of China’s soft-power image, admiration for good governance, or inward-looking nationalism make East Asians more likely to choose an alternative role model rather than the USA. If the USA should loom out of East Asians’ vision for their country role model, the alternative role models would carry consequences in a potential shift in the democratic regime paradigm and a possible change in the political landscape in East Asia.
Deep Learning Predictor for Sustainable Precision Agriculture Based on Internet of Things System

Based on the collected weather data from the agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) system, changes in the weather can be obtained in advance, which is an effective way to plan and control sustainable agricultural production. However, it is not easy to accurately predict the future trend because the data always contain complex nonlinear relationship with multiple components. To increase the prediction performance of the weather data in the precision agriculture IoT system, this study used a deep learning predictor with sequential two-level decomposition structure, in which the weather data were decomposed into four components serially, then the gated recurrent unit (GRU) networks were trained as the sub-predictors for each component. Finally, the results from GRUs were combined to obtain the medium- and long-term prediction result. The experiments were verified for the proposed model based on weather data from the IoT system in Ningxia, China, for wolfberry planting, in which the prediction results showed that the proposed predictor can obtain the accurate prediction of temperature and humidity and meet the needs of precision agricultural production.
Acknowledgments and Dedication

In recent years, a great deal of cognitive science research has focused on principles of learning that can be used to enhance education. And yet these principles have rarely been tested in real-world educational settings. For example, asking students to retrieve answers from memory enhances learning in laboratories—but what happens when a student fails to answer, or makes an error, or gets distracted? Can feedback compensate for such errors? We implemented a computer-based study program to help children learn, and in doing so assessed three cognitive principles: Does retrieving answers help? Do errors hurt, if they are corrected? And what is the effect of feedback? We found that retrieval helped, though less robustly than we expected; making errors, if they were corrected, caused no measurable harm; and feedback was unconditionally beneficial.
Experiment on Interaction of Abutment, Steel H-Pile and Soil in Integral Abutment Jointless Bridges (IAJBs) under Low-Cycle Pseudo-Static Displacement Loads

Soil-abutment or soil-pile interactions under cyclic static loads have been widely studied in integral abutment jointless bridges (IAJBs). However, the IAJB has the combinational interaction of soil-abutment and soil-pile, and the soil-abutment-pile interaction is lack of comprehensively study. Therefore, a reciprocating low-cycle pseudo-static test was carried out under an cyclic horizontal displacement load (DL) to gain insight into the mechanical behavior of the soil-abutment-pile system. Test results indicate that the earth pressure of backfill behind abutment has the ratcheting effect, which induced a large earth pressure. The soil-abutment-pile system has a favorable energy dissipation capacity and seismic behavior with relatively large equivalent viscous damping. The accumulative horizontal deformation in pile will be occurred by the effect of abutment and unbalance soil pressure of backfill. The test shows that the maximum horizontal deformation of pile occurs in the pile depth of 1.0b~3.0b of pile body rather than at the pile head due to the accumulative deformation of pile, which is significantly different from those of previous test results of soil-pile interaction. The time-history curve for abutment is relatively symmetrical and its accumulative deformation is small. However, the time-history curve of pile is asymmetrical and its accumulative deformation is dramatically large. The traditional theory of deformation applies only to the calculation of noncumulative deformation of pile, and the influence of accumulative deformation should be considered in practical engineering. A significant difference of inclinations in the positive and negative directions increases when the displacement load is relatively large. The rotation of abutment when bridge expands is larger than that when bridge contracts due to earth pressure of backfill.
Acute haemorrhagic tamponade in cancer patients receiving direct oral anticoagulant: case series

Abstract The use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is on the rise in the general population. However, data related to the safety of DOACs in patients with malignancy are limited. In this brief report, we present a series of three cases of haemorrhagic pericardial effusions and tamponade in patients receiving DOACs while undergoing cancer therapy. These three cases were all observed within a period of 6 weeks at a single institution and occurred shortly after the initiation of anticoagulation with one of the DOACs. Two of these patients had evidence of neoplastic pericardial process and were being treated with immunotherapy. The third patient was receiving targeted cancer therapy with a drug known to be associated with increased bleeding risks. Haemorrhagic pericarditis may represent a unique type of DOACs-related complications in subgroups of cancer patients with neoplastic pericardial disease and/or complex pharmacodynamics drug–drug interaction. The purpose of this report is to raise awareness of the lack of conclusive safety data of DOACs in certain cancer patients and to remind clinical providers of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommending against their use in patients with malignancy on the basis of limited safety data in patients undergoing cancer therapies.
Relationship of Icelandic cattle with Northern and Western European cattle breeds, admixture and population structure

ABSTRACT Icelandic cattle is believed to have been brought from Norway during the settlement of Iceland around AD 870-930. Previous research on genetic relationships has indicated that Icelandic cattle is most related to northern Nordic indigenous breeds. Using single nucleotide polymorphism genotype data from Icelandic cattle and 29 Northern and Western European cattle breeds, we studied relationships and admixture among these breeds, and assessed population structure in Icelandic cattle. Population structure analysis through principal component analysis, estimation of ancestry, and analysis of patterns of population splitting and mixing revealed that Icelandic cattle are most related to three Finncattle breeds (Eastern, Northern and Western Finncattle), and Swedish Mountain cattle. Icelandic cattle has very low levels of admixture. We observed very limited population structure in Icelandic cattle. The observed structure was due to variable sire contributions. Over 1000 years of almost complete isolation has made Icelandic cattle highly genetically distinct from other cattle breeds.
