Comparable evaluation of risk factors for living donors should be investigated to improve this issue. Patients and Methods: Our retrospective single-centre study analysed 158 patients with living kidney transplants performed between February 2006 and June 2012. We investigated the influence of donor risk factors (RF) including body mass index over 30 kg/m, age >60 years, active nicotine abuse and arterial hypertension on postoperative kidney function with focus on the recipients. This was measured for long-term survival and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in a 5-year follow-up. Results: Overall, out of 158 living donors, 84 donors were identified to have no risk factors, whereas 74 donors had at least one risk factor. We noted a significant higher delayed graft function (p=0.042) in the first 7 days after transplantation, as well as lower GFR of recipients of allografts with risk factors in the first-year after transplantation. In our long-term results, there was no significant difference in the functional outcome (graft function, recipient and graft survival) between recipients receiving kidneys from donors with no and at least one risk factors. In the adjusted analysis of subgroups of different risk factors, recipients of donors with “age over 60 years” at time of transplantation had a decreased transplant survival (p=0.014). Conclusion: Thus, a careful expansion for selection criteria for living donors with critical evaluation could be possible, but especially the age of the donors could be a limited risk factor.
Combined experimental and computational modelling studies of the solubility of nickel in strontium titanate

A combination of X-ray techniques and atomistic computational modelling has been used to study the solubility of Ni in SrTiO3 in relation to the application of this material for the catalytic partial oxidation of methane. The experiments have demonstrated that low temperature, hydrothermal synthesis is successful in preparing monophase, crystalline material with up to 5 atom % Ni doped in the octahedrally coordinated Ti4+ site of the SrTiO3 lattice. Computational modelling indicates limited solubility and identifies the most energy favoured Ni state as Ni2+ as opposed to Ni3+. However, modelling also suggests that thermodynamically Ni should occupy the Sr2+ site. This apparent contradiction is resolved by considering the kinetic effects operating during hydrothermal synthesis. An in situ EXAFS study of the thermal behaviour of Ni doped SrTiO3 in air and H2/He shows that NiO phase segregates and reduces to give a high dispersion of Ni metal particles on the SrTiO3 oxide.
Melting and Crystallization in Gold Nanoclusters

The melting and crystallization with two different cooling rates of Au N (N = 140, 360, 532, 784, and 952) nanoclusters are simulated by using molecular dynamics technique with the frame work of embedded atom method. The potential energy as a function of temperature is obtained and the structural details are analyzed. The results reveal that the melting and freezing temperature increases almost linearly with the atom number of the clusters. All the gold nanoclusters have negative heat capacity around the phase transition temperature, and the clusters with slow cooling rate have icosahedral structure at 300 K.
Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score is a Prognostic Indicator for Patients with Hemorrhagic Stroke: Results from a 3-month Follow-up Study

Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) Score is useful for the nutritional screening. We aimed to explore whether the CONUT score may predict a 3-month functional outcome in hemorrhagic stroke (AHS). Totally, 349 patients with incident AHS were consecutively recruited, and their malnutrition risks were determined using a high CONUT score of ≥ 2. Poor functional outcomes were defined as the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of ≥ 3 at 3 months. A total of 328 patients (mean age, 60.4 ± 12.83 years; 66.8% male) were included, 172 (52.40%) patients at malnutrition risk and 104 (31.7%) patients with a poor prognosis. High-CONUT patients had lower total lymphocyte counts and total cholesterol levels than low-CONUT patients (p &lt; 0.001 and p = 0.012). At 3-month post discharge, patients with malnutrition risk had higher hospitalization costs (p = 0.021), lower Barthel Index (p = 0.001), and more infectious complications (p = 0.002) than those without, and there was a greater risk for poor functional outcomes in the high-CONUT compared with the low-CONUT patients at admission (adjusted odds ratio: 2.32, 95% confidence interval: 1.28-4.17). High-CONUT scores predict a 3-month poor prognosis in AHS, which may help identify the AHS patients who need additional nutritional managements.

Stress partition on the Palu-Koro fault controlling the 2018 Mw 7.5 Palu earthquake and its seismic hazards

The Mw 7.5 Palu earthquake struck the Palu-Koro fault on September 28, 2018 in the Sulawesi Island, Indonesia. Previous studies suggested that the predominantly unilateral southward rupture of this earthquake unzipped the central part of the Palu-Koro fault. Two seismic gaps were left to the north and south ends of the Palu-Koro fault. To date, the cause for earthquake generation has yet to be investigated. As a result, the reasons behind the earthquake rupture's southward unilateral propagation and termination remain unclear. The hazards of the two seismic gaps at the north and south ends of the Palu-Koro fault have yet to be explored. As such, the present study calculated the Coulomb stress change that was induced by historical large earthquakes within the target region. The stress partition and evolution on the Palu-Koro fault were examined before and after the 2018 Palu earthquake. We found that the 1996 earthquake (Mw = 7.9) on the Minahassa thrust triggered the 2018 Palu earthquake by promoting stress at the epicenter of the 2018 earthquake. The stress shadow close to the north of the epicenter of the earthquake acted as a stress barrier by preventing the earthquake northward rupture. However, the southward earthquake propagation was terminated by the stress shadow to the south of the rupture. These stress shadows were caused by the historical earthquakes on the Palu-Koro fault. Stress promotions in the two seismic gaps of the Palu-Koro fault produced by 2018 Palu earthquake have resulted in increased seismic and tsunami hazards, calling close attention to hazard prevention in central Sulawesi. Our results are important for understanding the stress migration and the induced seismic activity in the thrust and strike-slip faults system globally.
Incorporating Large Vocabulary Object Detection and Tracking into Visual SLAM

In this master’s thesis in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence, we present a dynamic visual simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system based on a neural network for semantic tracking of 2D bounding boxes and bundle adjustment (BA) optimization of geometric keypoints. The system is able to estimate the 3D camera trajectory in parallel to the 3D object trajectories of many objects in the environment. In contrast to most current works in the field that focus on a small set of object classes, our approach is able to classify and track a big variety of different object classes (1230 classes). We evaluate our system on real world data in order to show quantitative results of the 3D object tracking for cars and pedestrians and compare the 3D object tracking performance to another recent approach to dynamic SLAM. Additionally, we show qualitative results of the object tracking of other object classes than cars and pedestrians which are rarely considered in the literature. Based on our evaluation, we find the key limitations of the approach and propose potential directions for improvements of the system in future work.
Chemiluminescence demonstration illustrating principles of ester hydrolysis reactions

Peroxyoxalate chemiluminescence, the most efficient nonenzymatic chemiluminescence reaction known, is used to demonstrate mechanistic features of analogous ester hydrolysis reactions. The effect of the leaving group pKa and a comparison between nucleophilic and general-base catalysis are demonstrated visually by the kinetics of the light-generating reaction. The demonstration is targeted for undergraduate organic chemistry students but is easily modified for a range of audiences.
Social Media Users' agency in Online Misinformation Sharing

This study is part of our research on understanding social media users’ motivations in sharing news articles, with a focus on spreading misinformation. In this work, we focus on analyzing how the tweet narratives are conceived. We developed a coding scheme to qualitatively characterize the narrative patterns that are used to indicate how Twitter actively constructs the narratives to deliver what they would like to speak in messages. We uncovered that such agency is associated with the credibility of the news sources. Twitter authors citing low credible sources engaged the most in incorporating the news articles word by word, simply letting the title speak for them and promoting the original highlights in the article titles. In contrast, tweets citing the more reliable source engage diverse narrative tactics including quotations, paraphrases, together with personal expressions and comments beyond the topics and views of the cited articles. Our findings suggest Twitter users who cited low credible sources with high chance of publication misinformation may find the narrative in the original articles readier for them to deliver their own voices, compared with those citing more credible sources. Our findings shed light on improving online users' information literacy for distinguishing falsehood from truth.
Polypyrazolylmethane complexes of ruthenium

A series of ruthenium(II) complexes with the pyrazolyl alkane ligands tris(1-pyrazolyl)methane 1 (TPM) and bis(1-pyrazolyl)methane 2 (BPM) have been synthesized and characterised. The complex [RuCl(PPh3)2(TPM)]+X (X = Cl 3a or BF43b) was formed by the reaction of TPM with RuCl2(PPh3)3 and [Ru(CO)H(PPh3)(TPM)]+X (X = Cl 4a or BF44b) by the reaction of TPM with Ru(CO)ClH(PPh3)3. The complexes [RuCl(PPh3)(BPM)2]+Cl−5 and (BPM)(Ph3P)Ru(μ-Cl)3Ru(PPh3)(BPM)]+Cl−6 were synthesized by the reaction of BPM with RuCl2(PPh3)3. Complexes 3–6 were characterised by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, and 3a and 6 by X-ray crystallography. [RuCl(PPh3)2(TPM)]+Cl− exhibits dynamic behaviour at low temperature and this is attributed to restricted rotation of the PPh3 groups about the M–P bond.
Stable room temperature deposited amorphous InGaZnO4 thin film transistors

Enhancement-mode amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (α-IGZO) channel thin film transistors (TFTs) with a 6μm gate length and a 100μm gate width were fabricated on glass substrates by rf magnetron sputtering near room temperature. The resistivities of the α-IGZO films were controlled from 10−1to103Ωcm by varying the deposition power of 75–300W. The n-type carrier concentration in the channel was 6.5×1017cm−3. The gate oxide was 90-nm-thick SiNx, deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at 70°C. The bottom-gate TFTs had saturation mobility of ∼17cm2V−1s−1 and the drain current on-to-off ratio of ∼>105, a subthreshold gate-voltage swing of ∼0.5Vdecade−1, and a threshold voltage of 2.1V. In the TFT with a gate length of 6μm and a gate width of 100μm, the relative change of saturation mobility and threshold voltage was less than ±1.5% after 500h aging time at room temperature. This demonstrates that α-IGZO films are promising semiconductor materials for long-term-stable transparent TFT applications.
I. INTRODUCTION Radial pulse sensing is an important tool for patient diagnosis in the system of Traditional Indian Medicine (TIM) – Ayurveda. The process involves a physician feeling the patient’s radial pulse using his three fingers

Radial pulse analysis using pulse rate variability (PRV) methodology has been implemented. Traditional Indian Medicine – TIM’s perspective of circadian cycle variations, for specific subject has been explored. Radial pulse signals were logged at 2-hrs interval, and analysed for temporal domain variations using PRV technique. Values for time, frequency and non-linear domain parameters computed, have been compared vis-à-vis the TIM interpretable dominant humors expected. Although, consistent variations in parameter values have been observed, however the results are not conclusive in nature. Further work can help establish pointers towards humor identification for realizing low cost diagnostic aid.
A closer look at Arctic ozone loss and polar stratospheric clouds

Abstract. The empirical relationship found between column-integrated Arctic ozone loss and the potential volume of polar stratospheric clouds inferred from meteorological analyses is recalculated in a self-consistent manner using the ERA Interim reanalyses. The relationship is found to hold at different altitudes as well as in the column. The use of a PSC formation threshold based on temperature dependent cold aerosol formation makes little difference to the original, empirical relationship. Analysis of the photochemistry leading to the ozone loss shows that activation is limited by the photolysis of nitric acid. This step produces nitrogen dioxide which is converted to chlorine nitrate which in turn reacts with hydrogen chloride on any polar stratospheric clouds to form active chlorine. The rate-limiting step is the photolysis of nitric acid: this occurs at the same rate every year and so the interannual variation in the ozone loss is caused by the extent and persistence of the polar stratospheric clouds. In early spring the ozone loss rate increases as the solar insolation increases the photolysis of the chlorine monoxide dimer in the near ultraviolet. However the length of the ozone loss period is determined by the photolysis of nitric acid which also occurs in the near ultraviolet. As a result of these compensating effects, the amount of the ozone loss is principally limited by the extent of original activation rather than its timing. In addition a number of factors, including the vertical changes in pressure and total inorganic chlorine as well as denitrification and renitrification, offset each other. As a result the extent of original activation is the most important factor influencing ozone loss. These results indicate that relatively simple parameterisations of Arctic ozone loss could be developed for use in coupled chemistry climate models.
Sway Control of 3-Cars Crane System Using Proposed Fuzzy-PID Controller

− This paper presents a novel control approach for 3 cars crane systems. Nowadays; some problems for carrying unpredicted loads of crane systems exist. On the other hand; long loads are very important to carry without touch on other materials in factories. In this simulation study, fuzzy based controllers were designed to control vibrations of 3 cars crane system. The simulation results are improved with MATLAB Simulink ® and show this kind of controllers will be employed in real time such systems.
The Phenomenology of Quitting: Effects from Repetition and Cognitive Conflict

When performing a monotonous task, one often experiences an urge to quit. This urge may vary depending on how long one has performed the task (a temporal factor) and on which particular component of the task one is carrying out (an event-based factor). Using the Stroop task and a working memory task, we examined changes in the urge to quit as a function of basic temporal (repetition) and event-based (cognitive conflict) factors. Consistent with the law of least work and recent theorizing, for the memory task, urges to quit were greater following difficult trials; for the Stroop task, urges to quit were greater following incongruent than congruent trials, but only during early/novice phases of performance, when responding is inefficient. This is a demonstration of an avoidance response toward cognitive conflict. Regarding temporal sources of quitting, urges to quit were greater for late task stages than early stages. These basic findings may illuminate the nature of the more ‘hot’ motivational struggles involving the delay of gratification.
Augmenting Resource Allocation Techniques for the Management of ICU Beds During COVID-19 Pandemic

At the time of writing, more than seventy million people have been infected by COVID19 and more than one and a half million have died from the infection. A major challenge for health systems around the world is to supply ventilators and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds for those patients with the most severe symptoms of the infection. Unfortunately, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many countries face ICU bed shortages. In situations of peak-demand, healthcare providers follow predefined strategies to allocate the available ICU beds in the most efficient way. On these occasions, physicians and healthcare workers, who swore an oath to treat the ill to the best of their ability, would have to choose not to save some patients to ensure others survive. This decision puts healthcare professionals in an ethically and emotionally challenging situation in an already stressful environment. In this paper, we propose an automatic approach for managing ICU beds in hospitals to i) create the most effective ICU resource allocation, and ii) relieve physicians of having to make decisions in this regard. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
Nutritional parameters of female goat kids fed diets containing detoxified castor bean cake

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of replacing soybean meal (SM) by detoxified castor bean cake (DCC), containing different alkaline solutions, on the nutritional parameters of Saanen and Anglo-Nubian female goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) kids. The treatments consisted of three diets: one based on corn and SM; and two with DCC with Ca(OH)2 or NaOH. Intake and digestibility data were analyzed in two phases according to the growth curves of the goats, which showed: a linear accelerated growth (phase I, from 60 to 298 days of life) and a reduction in the intensity of body growth (phase II, from 299 to 345 days). During phase I, the goat kids fed DCC with NaOH showed a lower intake of dry matter (DM) and nutrients. During phase II, there was significant effect of diets on the intake of nutrients, with the exception of ether extract (EE), total digestible nutrients, and metabolizable energy (ME). A diet effect was observed on the digestibility of DM, crude protein, EE, and neutral detergent fiber, mainly for goat kids fed diets with DCC. Despite their lower intake, the diets formulated with DCC do not negatively affect the nutritional performance of female goats kids in both growth phases, since they result in a greater feed efficiency.
Summary tGolgin-1 ( p 230 , golgin-245 ) modulates Shiga-toxin transport to the Golgi and Golgi motility towards the microtubule-organizing centre

The Golgi complex plays a central role in glycoprotein processing and quality control of secretion in eukaryotic cells. The vertebrate Golgi complex consists, during interphase, of polarized, stacked cisternae that appose the microtubuleorganizing centre (MTOC). This central positioning might facilitate concentration of secretory cargo during transport from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) through the Golgi stacks and trans-Golgi network (TGN) to post-Golgi compartments, as well as polarized secretion to establish cellular polarity, migration and other effector functions (Rios and Bornens, 2003; Warren and Shorter, 2002). Golgi positioning at the MTOC requires the integrity of microtubules (Ho et al., 1989; Rogalski and Singer, 1984) and the minus-end-directed dynein-dynactin microtubule motor complex (Burkhardt et al., 1997; Corthesy-Theulaz et al., 1992; Harada et al., 1998). Tubulovesicular clusters that emerge near exit sites from the ER recruit dynein-dynactin complexes and migrate towards the MTOC along microtubules (Burkhardt et al., 1997; Cole et al., 1996a; Corthesy-Theulaz et al., 1992; Ho et al., 1989; Presley et al., 1997; Storrie et al., 1998). Several factors have been implicated in both the recruitment of dynein-dynactin motors to pre-Golgi elements (Holleran et al., 2001; Muresan et al., 2001; Matanis et al., 2002; Short et al., 2002) and the consequent tethering of newly formed cis-Golgi membranes at the MTOC (Ladinsky et al., 1999; Marsh et al., 2001; Gillingham et al., 2004; Infante et al., 1999; Pernet-Gallay et al., 2002; Rios et al., 2004; Takahashi et al., 1999; Walenta et al., 2001), but it is not known how the localization and activity of these and other potential recruitment and tethering factors are regulated. One challenge for the cell is to maintain a steadystate distribution of these factors in the face of a massive flow of membrane transport into and out of the Golgi complex (Rios and Bornens, 2003). One way to accomplish this distribution is to recycle recruitment factors from preand/or post-Golgi compartments. As part of an effort to understand membrane dynamics at the TGN, we have been studying members of a group of peripheral 2279
Anthropogenic soil and settlement organisation in the Bolivian Amazon

Anthropogenic soils known as Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) have long been known as a key component of subsistence systems for various pre‐Columbian Amazonian populations. Often treated as a single category, ADE systems consist of two broad anthrosols (human‐modified soils): the darker ADE (traditionally known as terra preta) and a lighter brown Amazonian Brown Earth (ABE; traditionally known as terra mulata). Data on the characteristics and spatial distribution of these anthrosols are severely lacking. Transects of soil test pits at the Triunfo and Versalles archaeological sites in the Iténez Forest, in the Bolivian Amazon, show variability in the distribution of soil types, revealing aspects of settlement organisation and resource management. Geochemical, isotopic and archaeobotanical data from an ADE, ABE and control soil profile from the Triunfo site, established ca. 500 cal BCE, characterise the two anthrosols as distinct components of a polyculture agroforestry subsistence system that combines anthropogenic soil fertilisation, closed‐canopy forest enrichment, limited forest clearance for crop cultivation and low‐severity fire management.
