Searches for beyond the standard model Higgs bosons are presented, particularly in the context of an extended Higgs boson sector containing more than the single Higgs doublet field of the standard model such as two-Higgs-doublet models, including a search for neutral Higgs boson decays into a bb̄ pair and a search for a heavy pseudoscalar boson decaying to a Z boson and a Higgs boson. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is used, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. No signal above the standard model background expectation is observed. Upper limits are placed on the product of the cross section and branching fraction for each search, and interpreted in different models of an extended Higgs sector.

Abstract Objective: To compare efficacy and safety indicators of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, Sarilumab, Sirukumab, Baricitinib, Tocilizumab and Adalimumab in rheumatoid arthritis treatment by a network meta-analysis. Methods: Medline, Embase, Web of Science, The Food and Drug Administration web site, and Cochrane library were searched from build to June 1, 2020. Clinical randomized controlled trails of these 5 drugs for rheumatoid arthritis were collected for network meta-analysis. Results: A total of 4 randomized controlled trails with 2070 patients were obtained. The results of the network meta-analysis showed that:(1) There was no significant difference between the 4 drugs (Sarilumab, Sirukumab, Adalimumab, and Tocilizumab) (P > .05) in terms of American College of Rheumatology 20. (2) There was no significant difference between the 5 drugs in the aspect of the America College of Rheumatology 50% and 70% (American College of Rheumatology 50, American College of Rheumatology 70) (P > .05). (3) There was no significant difference between the 3 drugs (Sarilumab, Sirukumab, Adalimumab) in terms of reducing disease activity score 28-erythrocyte sedimentation rate in patients (P > .05). (4) No significant difference was observed among the 5 drugs in terms of incidence of adverse reactions, serious adverse reactions and withdrawal adverse reactions (P > .05). The results of the ranked probability plot indicated that Tocilizumab and Sarilumab outperform other drugs in terms of efficacy and safety. Conclusion: The results of the ranking of the 5 drugs showed that Tocilizumab and Sarilumab had the best efficacy and safety.
The safety and efficacy of chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer

Abstract Background: Since the combination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, such as new molecular targeted drugs or vaccines, is controversial in terms of survival advantages compared with chemotherapy therapy alone, we conducted a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone for advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from the establishment of the database to November 2020. We included some studies that reported pancreatic cancer patients receiving immunotherapy, and we excluded duplicate publications, research without full text, incomplete information or inability to conduct data extraction, animal experiments, reviews, and systematic reviews. Results: The risk ratio of the objective response rate and disease control rate was 1.10 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.88–1.38) and 1.17 (95% CI: 1.06–1.31), respectively, indicating that there was no significant difference between the objective response rate of combination therapy and chemotherapy alone, while the disease control rate of the combined treatment was higher than that of chemotherapy alone. The hazard ratio of overall survival and progression-free survival was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.82–1.01) and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77–0.98), respectively, indicating that there was no significant difference between the overall survival of combination therapy and chemotherapy alone, while progression-free survival of the combined treatment was longer than that of chemotherapy alone. We also found that in addition to the combination treatment, the incidence of vomiting in pancreatic cancer was higher than that of chemotherapy alone, and the incidence of other complications was not significantly different from that of treatment alone. Conclusion: Chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for pancreatic cancer not only improves treatment efficiency but also does not cause serious adverse reactions. This treatment strategy should be widely used clinically.
Comparison of VGGish embeddings and perceptually-motivated features for Singing Voice Detection

Singing Voice Detection still have place in Music Information Retrieval research, particularly with the new possibilities generated by feature learning for music content recognition. VGGish embeddings are general purpose audio features that can be used as audio descriptors for multiple tasks. We make a performance comparison of singing voice detectors using vocal VGGish embeddings and vocal perceptually-motivated features. For that end, we train Random Forest models using perceptually inspired features (MFCC, Fluctogram, Vocal Variance) and VGGish embeddings. Our results show that VGGish embeddings have classiﬁcation performance metrics at least comparable to perceptually-motivated features.
A video-enhanced teacher learning environment based on multimodal resources: A case study in PETE

This research is centered on the activity of on pre-service teacher in Physical Education (PE), during a course based on multimodal resources, in order to learn to teach PE. The main goal in this training program is to prepare pre-service teachers to teach PE and develop their capacity to analyze and identify some teaching skills during the different moment of a PE’s lesson (e.g. verbal instruction). During the program, pre-service teachers should learn to understand how a teaching skill was built during a teaching situation. Our approach is based on the analysis of the teacher’s activity in the classroom. The aim of our research will be to show how an video-enhanced environment for Physical Education Teacher Education can allow to approach the corporeal experience of teaching PE in classroom situation’s and to learn to teach PE. For this reason, our theoretical framework is the Course of Action (Theureau, 2002) in cognitive anthropology, based on the hypothesis of the situated action (Suchman, 1987) and distributed cognition (Hutchins, 1995) and also the enaction (Varela and al., 1991). This framework, help us to understand emotion, cognition, concerns and perception in situ, during workshop at University. Results showed a) PE pre-service teachers focus their attention on face-to-face situations and whole-class discussion during the lesson and they focus on the teaching skills developed during these situations and b) using multimodal resources allow pre-service teachers to approach corporeal experience during face-to-face situations and whole-class discussion during the lesson.
Translation of High-Level Language Algorithm in C / C++ Program using Syntax Directed Translation

—High Level Language (HLL) translation is most promising area of research now days. Automatic Translation Application like Translator of English written programming algorithm to C / C++ program is very useful for the people who want to make programming but don’t know any programming language like C,C++& JAVA, etc. Translation of English programming algorithm to C / C++ program has been implemented by Rule based approach using syntax directed translation (SDT) definition. Rule based approach is not using any transitional representation. The input to the system is naturally written English Algorithms and it output its equivalent C Program. In this paper presented working of Scanner and Parser & its token generation.
Hloušekite, (Ni,Co)Cu4(AsO4)2(AsO3OH)2(H2O)9, a new member of the lindackerite supergroup from Jáchymov, Czech Republic

Abstract Hloušekite, (Ni,Co)Cu4(AsO4)2(AsO3OH)2(H2O)9, is a new supergene arsenate mineral from the Geister vein (Rovnost mine), Jáchymov (St Joachimsthal), Western Bohemia, Czech Republic. It was found along with veselovskýite, pradetite, lavendulan, arsenolite, babánekite and gypsum on the surface of strongly altered ore fragments containing dominant tennantite and chalcopyrite. Hloušekite forms thin, lath-like crystals, locally elongated reaching up to 3 mm across. It is transparent, has a pale green colour with vitreous lustre, has a greyish-white streak and it is very brittle with an uneven fracture. It does not fluoresce under shortwave or longwave ultraviolet radiation. Cleavage on {010} is perfect; the Mohs hardness is 2-3. The calculated density is 3.295 g cm-3. Hloušekite is optically biaxial with α′ = 1.653(2) and γ′ = 1.73. The estimated optical orientation is γ′ vs. elongation (c) = 14(1)°. In larger grains it is weakly to moderately pleochroic (α = colourless, β = pale green to green). Hloušekite is triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 6.4010(6), b = 8.0041(6), c = 10.3969(14) Å, α = 85.824(8), β = 79.873(9), γ = 84.655(7)° and V = 521.23(10) Å3, with Z = 1, a:b:c = 0.800:1:1.299. The eight strongest lines in the powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern [d in Å (I)(hkl)] are 10.211(100)(001), 7.974(9)(010), 3.984(6)(020), 3.656(5)(11̅2), 3.631(5)(02̅1), 3.241(5)(022), 3.145(5)(200) and 3.006(5)(210). Chemical analysis by electron microprobe yielded MgO 0.20, FeO 0.10, NiO 5.79, CoO 1.80, CuO 29.53, ZnO 0.66, Al2O3 0.14, P2O5 0.11, As2O5 45.01, H2O 17.71 (calc.), for a total of 101.05 wt. %. The resulting empirical formula, calculated by stoichiometry (9H2O + 2OH), obtained from the crystal structure, is (Ni0.79Co0.25)Σ1. 04(Cu3.78Zn0.08Mg0.05Al0.03Fe0.01)S3.95 (AsO4)1.98(PO4)0.02(AsO3OH)2.00(H2O)9.00. The ideal endmember formula , NiCu4(AsO4)2(AsO3OH)2(H2O)9.00, requires NiO 7.23, CuO 30.81, As2O5 44.51, H2O 17.45, total 100.00 wt. %. The crystal structure of hloušekite was solved by charge flipping from single-crystal XRD data and refined to R1 = 0.0599 for 1441 reflections with [Iobs > 3σ(I)]. Hloušekite is a new member of the lindackerite group (also including lindackerite, pradetite and veselovský ite) of the lindackerite supergroup. The ondrušite group of the lindackerite supergroup includes ondrušite, chudobaite, geigerite and klajite. The establishment of these two groups reflects the difference between the crystal structures of their members, mainly in the coordination environment of the Me cations.
Abundance and Community Composition of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria and Archaea Under Different Regeneration Scenarios in Chinese Loess Plateau

Abstract To determine the effects of regeneration scenarios on ammonia-oxidizing bacterial (AOB) and archaeal (AOA) abundance and composition, soils were collected from abandoned land, shrub, plantation and mixed forest in Loess Plateau. Communities were characterized by real-time polymerase chain reaction and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) targeting amoA gene. Soil potential nitrification rate was significantly different for each regeneration scenario. Regeneration scenarios also showed different effects on AOB and AOA abundance. The highest and lowest ratios of AOA to AOB were, respectively, in abandoned land and mixed forest. Both AOB and AOA T-RFLP profiles differed between regeneration scenarios. Environmental factors significantly correlated with the abundance of AOB and AOA were different. Positive and significant correlation between soil potential nitrification rate and AOB abundance indicated that AOB perhaps plays an important role in ammonia oxidation. Based on T-RFLP profiles, it was concluded that the above-ground biomass and vegetation diversity indices correlated differently with soil AOB and AOA abundance and diversity indices. Our results suggest that the successional mechanisms of AOA and AOB might be different.
Spatial clustering of hazardous waste, water, air violations in the US

We examine spatial patterns of three types of Environmental Protection Agency violation, hazardous waste, water, and air quality, at the facility level. Since facilities operate independently, our null hypothesis is that their violations should be spatially randomly distributed. That is, we do not expect to observe spatial clusters of violations. In addition, systemic factors such as socio-demographic characteristics as well as environmental justice indices should not correlate with violations. Empirically, we find both hypotheses are refuted. Our findings confirm that environmental inequalities have been exacerbated by underlying social vulnerabilities, particularly in the case of Native Indian territories, which consistently show a disproportionately high number of environmental violations. We identify ‘hot spots’, spatial clusters where the number of violations is higher than expected in such a way that cannot be explained by socio-demographic or environmental factors. These hot spots call for local case studies to further investigate causes of spatial clustering of violations.
Nonlocal low-rank regularized two-phase approach for mixed noise removal

Removing mixed noise in images is a difficult problem which has been discussed in many recent papers. In this paper, we tackle the problem of having mixed additive Gaussian white noise and impulse noise. We propose to remove this mixed noise through a nonlocal low-rank regularized two-phase approach. In the first phase, we identify and label the pixels that are likely to be corrupted by the impulse noise. In the second phase, the image is restored through the unlabeled observed data. The restored image is achieved via solving an optimization problem whose objective function has an ℓ 1/ℓ 2 combined content-dependent fidelity term and a nonconvex nonlocal low-rank regularization term. Both terms are built on patch matrices formed from similar patches. Each patch matrix is considered to be low-rank according to the prior knowledge of images. We solve this nonconvex optimization through an iterative adaptive nuclear norm minimization algorithm and provide its convergence analysis. Our experiments show the proposed method outperforms the existing state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of three quantitative metrics, namely, the peak signal-to-noise ratio, the structural similarity and the feature similarity, and visual quality of the restored images.
In-situ measurement and monitoring methods for metal powder bed fusion: an updated review

The possibility of using a variety of sensor signals acquired during metal powder bed fusion processes, to support part and process qualification and for the early detection of anomalies and defects, has been continuously attracting an increasing interest. The number of research studies in this field has been characterised by significant growth in the last few years, with several advances and new solutions compared with first seminal works. Moreover, industrial powder bed fusion (PBF) systems are increasingly equipped with sensors and toolkits for data collection, visualisation and, in some cases, embedded in-process analysis. Many new methods have been proposed and defect detection capabilities have been demonstrated. Nevertheless, several challenges and open issues still need to be tackled to bridge the gap between methods proposed in the literature and actual industrial implementation. This paper presents an updated review of the literature on in-situ sensing, measurement and monitoring for metal PBF processes, with a classification of methods and a comparison of enabled performances. The study summarises the types and sizes of defects that are practically detectable while the part is being produced and the research areas where additional technological advances are currently needed.
EFFECTS OF ORIENTATION OF HELICAL ROD AND OF ELECTROST ATIC NATURE OF DYESTUFF ON DIFFUSION IN POLYPEPTIDE MEMBRANE

Diffusion of dyestuff in “random oriented” and “oriented” poly (γ-methyl L-glutamate) (PMLG) membranes was studied. In the former membrane, helical rods orient randomly in the palne parallel to the membrane surface. In “oriented” membrane prepared by applying the electric field to EDC solution of PMLG, helical rods orient parallel to both of the membrane surface and electric field. The diffusion of dyestuff observed as the concentration gradient in the membrane, was analysed referring to the gradient calculated on the assumption of concentration dependent diffusion coefficient. This dependence corresponds to the diffusion with Langmuir type adsorption of dyestuff. The coefficient obtained in the direction parallel to the helical rod is a few times larger than that in perpendicular direction. From the geometrical consideration of the diffusion model, it is suggested that the aperture between helical rods is smaller than that obtained by X-ray analysis. Using electropositive Methylene Blue and electronegative Alizarine Red S, the effect of electrostatic nature of dyestuff on the diffusion in slightly electronegative PMLG side chain region was examined. The results suggest that Alizarine Red S may diffuse through a narrow, low affinity region rapidly, Methylene Blue may diffuse slowly through a more broad, high affinity region. This difference is exaggerated when the direction of diffusion is parallel to the helical rod.
Measurement of the ZZ(*) and Zγ production cross sections at 8 TeV and 13 TeV and limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings with the ATLAS detector

Measurements of the cross sections of the production of pairs of electroweak gauge bosons at the LHC constitute stringent tests of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model and provide a model-independent means to search for new physics at the TeV scale. The ATLAS collaboration has measured inclusive and differential cross sections of the production of ZZ pairs and Z and photon pairs, using final states with the Z decaying to charged leptons or neutrinos. First integrated measurements of the ZZ pair production cross sections using fully leptonic final states at 13 TeV using data corresponding to 3.2 /fb are presented. Detailed studies of integrated and differential cross sections have been performed using data corresponding to 20.3 /fb at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The measurements are performed as a function of a variety of kinematic variables calculated from the leptons, like the transverse momentum or rapidity of the vector bosons. For the case of the production of four charged leptons a measurement of the four-lepton invariant mass spectrum ranging from 80 to 1000 GeV was performed, where several distinct physics processes give rise to the production of four-lepton final states. All measurements are compared to calculations at up to NNLO in pQCD. Constraints on new physics are provided by setting limits on anomalous triple couplings between neutral vector bosons, which are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model.
TR-CS-96-01 Constructing the Spanners of Graphs in Parallel

Given a connected graph G = (V;E) with n vertices and m edges, the distance between two vertices in G is the weight of the shortest path between them. A subgraphG is a t-spanner (an approximate t-spanner) ofG if, for every u, v 2 V , the distance between u and v in G is at most t (f(t)) times longer than the distance in G, where f(t) is a polynomial function of variable t and t f(t) < n. In this paper parallel algorithms for nding approximate t-spanners on both unweighted graphs and weighted graphs are given. IfG is an unweighted graph, our algorithm requires O( n t logn) time and M(n) processors, and the spanner generated has size of O(( n t )+n) and factor of O(t); otherwise our algorithm requires O(( n t ) +( n t ) 1+2=(t 2) logn) time and O(n) processors, and the spanner generated has size of O(( n t ) +n), weight of (( n t ) 2+ t 1 + 1)wt(MST ), and factor of O(Dt), where M(n) is the number of processors needed to nd a Breadth-First Search tree in a graph with n vertices in time O(log n), D is the maximum edge weight of a minimum spanning tree ofG, and k is a xed constant integer with 1 k logt n. Also, an NC algorithm for nding a 2t-spanner on a weighted graph G with size O(minfm; n 2 t log1+ ( Wmax Wmin )g) is presented. The proposed algorithm requires O(log n log1+ ( Wmax Wmin )) time and O(n) processors, whereWmax = maxfwt(e) j e 2 Eg,Wmin = minfwt(e) j e 2 Eg, and is a constant with 0 < < 1=2. All algorithms are for a CRCWPRAM model.
Functionalization of Silica Nanoparticles and Native Silicon Oxide with Tailored Boron-Molecular Precursors for Efficient and Predictive p-Doping of Silicon

Designing new approaches to incorporate dopant impurities in semiconductor materials is essential in keeping pace with electronics miniaturization without device performance degradation. On the basis of a mild solution-phase synthetic approach to functionalize silica nanoparticles, we were able to graft tailor-made boron-molecular precursors and control the thermal release of boron in the silica framework. The molecular-level description of the surface structure lays the foundation for a structure–property relationship approach, which is readily and successfully implemented to dope non-deglazed silicon wafers. As the method does not require an additional oxide capping step and shows minimal risk of carbon contamination, as demonstrated by compositional and electrical characterizations of the wafers, it is perfectly adapted to advanced microelectronics manufacturing processes.
Law and the Trade of Less-Developed Economies

In recent years, both trade and the quality of institutions have been identified as important for development. In this paper, we analyze how institutions that protect property rights and enforce contracts influence both a country's comparative advantage in producing high value-added-differentiated (complex) products as well as how they influence the costs of international transactions. We develop a Ricardian model that decomposes the impact of institutions into their comparative advantage and international transaction costs effects. Using this model, we estimate the impact of institutions on trade flows. The elasticity of complex exports with respect to the quality of exporter institutions is, as the model predicts, positive both for developed and less-developed countries. However, we find that this elasticity is lowest in the less-developed economies. Furthermore, we find that institutional reform in the less-developed economies is effective largely because it lowers international transaction costs, while it is effective in the more developed countries because of its influence on comparative advantage.
