The Impact of I-Corps on Accelerating Venture Discontinuation in a Southeastern US University

This study contributes to the literature on accelerators which focuses on private sector accelerators by providing an analysis of an accelerator in the public sphere that works with early-stage, science-driven applications, the National Science Foundation’s Innovation-Corps (I-Corps) program. The methodology is based on a comparison of the ability of the services delivered through the I-Corps program to teams at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) to speed their venture project discontinuation decisions over and above those of researchers receiving baseline commercialization services only. We find modest evidence that the I-Corps program helped Georgia Tech I-Corps teams make faster decisions to discontinue venture projects. The total savings of quicker I-Corps project discontinuation are estimated at more than $3.6 million over the 8-year observation period.

I conclude by asserting that centering stories and trauma as powerful pedagogy offers a path forward for humanizing education following a global pandemic.
Comparison of emission profile of black carbon and carbon monoxide over Eastern India: source apportionment and health risk impact

In the present study, black carbon (BC) mass concentration and carbon monoxide (CO) combination ratio were calculated simultaneously at two different cities (i.e.,Jamshedpur (JSR) and Kharagpur (KGP)) located in the eastern state of India. The analysis of GIOVANI NASA data indicates the highest concentrations of BC and CO in the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP) as well as the eastern part of India. The BC-CO relationship exhibited an excellent positive correlation (r2 = 0.65), while BC-PM2.5 showed a strong positive correlation (r2 > 0.96). On the other hand, the backward air trajectory showed pollutant transport mainly from India's northern part with some contributions from other countries likePakistan, Nepal, Bhutan etc. BC concentration overall health risk assessment was demonstrated as 6.27, 12.43, 11.22 and 25.60 in JSR and 2.02, 4.02, 3.63 and 8.28 in KGP, passive cigarettes comparable concerning the risk of lung cancer, low birth weight, cardiovascular mortality, and percentage lung function decrement of school-aged children.
Empirical Loss Timescales of Slot Region Electrons due to Plasmaspheric Hiss Based on Van Allen Probes Observations

Based on Van Allen Probes observations, in this study we perform a statistical analysis of the spectral intensities of plasmaspheric hiss at L‐shells of 1.8–3.0 in the slot region. Our results show that slot region hiss power intensifies with a strong day‐night asymmetry as the level of substorm activity or L‐shell increases. Using the statistical spectral profiles of plasmaspheric hiss, we calculate the drift‐ and bounce‐averaged electron pitch angle diffusion coefficients and subsequently obtain the resultant electron loss timescales through 1‐D Fokker‐Planck simulations. We find that slot region electron loss timescales vary significantly from <1 day to several years, showing a strong dependence on electron energy, L‐shell and substorm activity. We also construct an empirical model of slot region electron loss timescales due to scattering by plasmaspheric hiss, which agrees well with the 1‐D simulation results and can be readily used in modeling the dynamics of slot region electrons.
Probing Lewis Acid Sites in Sn-Beta Zeolite

The adsorption properties of framework Sn sites in a siliceous zeolite beta were examined by comparing the adsorption of acetonitrile, diethyl ether, and 2-methyl-2-propanol on a Sn-Beta zeolite, a purely siliceous Beta zeolite, and a siliceous Beta zeolite with impregnated SnO2, using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Adsorption stoichiometries close to one molecule per framework Sn site were observed for each of the probe molecules. Although the 1:1 complexes with acetonitrile and diethyl ether decompose reversibly upon mild heating in vacuo, the 1:1 complex formed by 2-methyl-2-propanol underwent dehydration to butene and water over a very narrow temperature range centered at 410 K. FTIR spectra of acetonitrile-d3 at a coverage of one molecule per site exhibit a υ(C–N) stretching frequency at 2312 cm–1 that is not observed with nonframework Sn, providing a convenient method for characterizing the presence of framework Sn sites. Water interacts strongly enough.

Decompression Surgery With Antibiotic-impregnated Calcium Sulfate Can Achieve More Satisfactory Results Than Decompression Alone in Pediatric Hematogenous Osteomyelitis

BackgroundThe curative effect of antibiotic-impregnated Calcium Sulfate in pediatric ostemyelitis is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of two treatment methods, decompression combined with antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulfate and decompression alone, for the treatment of pediatric Hemotogenous Osteomyelitis.MethodsBetween 2013 to 2016, forty-one patients with Hematogenous Osteomyelitis met the criteria were included for assessment. Twenty-one patients were included in the calcium sulfate group (the CS group) in which vancomycin and/or gentamicin impregnated calcium sulfate was used as an adjuvant after bone decompression while 20 patients as the control group were undergone bone decompression alone. The infection recurrence rate, hospital stay, wound healing duration, serum inflammatory index, pathological fracture, leakage of the incision ,follow-up time were compared between the two groups.ResultsInfection recurrence was 0% (0/21) in CS group and 15%(3/20) in control group within 12 months(P=0.107). Infection recurrence was 0%(21/21) in CS group and 20% (16/20) of patients at a minimum of 24(range 24 to 67) months follow-up(P=0.048). Mean hospital stay were 8.19(range 3 to 21) days in CS group and 15.95(range 5 to 47) days in control group(P=0.02). Mean wound healing duration were 16.1(range 10 to 29) days in CS group and 15.5(range 10 to 25) days in control group(P=0.65). Serum inflammatory index for WBC(White Blood Cells), ESR( Sedimentation Rate), CRP(C-Reactive Protein) was respectively 8.76(6.03-12.07)*10^9/L, 44.14(26-70)mm/L, 12.35(1.03-35.04) mg/Lin CS group and 8.90(5.68-13.56)*10^9/L, 39.25(19-57)mm/L, 15.65(1.02-45.69) mg/L in control group(P=0.82, P=0.31, P=0.51). Pathological fracture was 0% (0/21) in CS group and 10%(2/20) in control group(P=0.23). Leakage of the incision was 4.76% (0/21) in CS group and 10%(2/20) in control group(P=0.61). ConclusionsAntibiotic-impregnated Calcium Sulfate can reduce infection recurrence and shorten the mean hospital stay in pediatric Hemotogenous Osteomyelitis.

Validation of Sea Surface Temperature from GCOM-C Satellite Using iQuam Datasets and MUR-SST in Indonesian Waters

Sea surface temperature (SST) is an important variable in oceanography. One of the SST data can be obtained from the Global Observation Mission-Climate (GCOM-C) satellite. Therefore, this data needs to be validated before being applied in various fields. This study aimed to validate SST data from the GCOM-C satellite in the Indonesian Seas. Validation was performed using the data of Multi-sensor Ultra-high Resolution sea surface temperature (MUR-SST) and in situ sea surface temperature Quality Monitor (iQuam). The data used are the daily GCOM-C SST dataset from January to December 2018, as well as the daily dataset from MUR-SST and iQuam in the same period. The validation process was carried out using the three-way error analysis method. The results showed that the accuracy of the GCOM-C SST was 0.37 o C.
A Compact Dual-Mode Circularly Polarized Antenna With Frequency Reconfiguration

A simple compact circularly polarized (CP) cross slot antenna with a wide frequency tuning range has been presented in this letter. Four identical varactors are loaded at the ends of the cross slot for varying the operating frequency, and only one voltage is adopted to control the varactors. Distributed inductors and capacitors are employed to realize CP radiation. By varying the value of varactors, a wide tuning frequency range of 41% (1.65–2.5 GHz) is achieved. Stable CP radiation patterns are obtained for all frequencies across the entire operating bandwidth. The proposed antenna is a good radiator that can be used for Internet of Things (IoT) wireless sensing network, WiFi applications, and reconfigurable array developments.
3MCor: an integrative web server for metabolome-microbiome-metadata correlation analysis

MOTIVATION The metabolome and microbiome disorders are highly associated with human health and there are great demands for dual-omics interaction analysis. Here, we designed and developed an integrative platform, 3MCor, for metabolome and microbiome correlation analysis under the instruction of phenotype and with the consideration of confounders. RESULTS Many traditional and novel correlation analysis methods were integrated for intra- and inter-correlation analysis. Three inter-correlation pipelines are provided for global, hierarchical, and pairwise analysis. The incorporated network analysis function is conducive to rapid identification of network clusters and key nodes from a complicated correlation network. Complete numerical results (csv files) and rich figures (pdf files) will be generated in minutes. To our knowledge, 3MCor is the first platform developed specifically for the correlation analysis of metabolome and microbiome. Its functions were compared with corresponding modules of existing omics data analysis platforms. A real-world data set was used to demonstrate its simple and flexible operation, comprehensive outputs, and distinctive contribution to dual-omics studies. AVAILABILITY 3MCor is available at http://3mcor.cn and the backend R script is available at https://github.com/chentianlu/3MCorServer.

Responding to Large-Scale Forest Damage in an Alpine Environment with Remote Sensing, Machine Learning, and Web-GIS

This paper reports a semi-automated workflow for detection and quantification of forest damage from windthrow in an Alpine region, in particular from the Vaia storm in October 2018. A web-GIS platform allows to select the damaged area by drawing polygons; several vegetation indices (VIs) are automatically calculated using remote sensing data (Sentinel-2A) and tested to identify the more suitable ones for quantifying forest damage using cross-validation with ground-truth data. Results show that the mean value of NDVI and NDMI decreased in the damaged areas, and have a strong negative correlation with severity. RGI has an opposite behavior in contrast with NDVI and NDMI, as it highlights the red component of the land surface. In all cases, variance of the VI increases after the event between 0.03 and 0.15. Understorey not damaged from the windthrow, if consisting of 40% or more of the total cover in the area, undermines significantly the sensibility of the VIs to detecting and predicting severity. Using aggregational statistics (average and standard deviation) of VIs over polygons as input to a machine learning algorithm, i.e., Random Forest, results in severity prediction with regression reaching a root mean square error (RMSE) of 9.96, on a severity scale of 0–100, using an ensemble of area averages and standard deviations of NDVI, NDMI, and RGI indices. The results show that combining more than one VI can significantly improve the estimation of severity, and web-GIS tools can support decisions with selected VIs. The reported results prove that Sentinel-2 imagery can be deployed and analysed via web-tools to estimate forest damage severity and that VIs can be used via machine learning for predicting severity of damage, with careful evaluation of the effect of understorey in each situation.
Basic Treatment Combined With Atomized Inhalation of Amikacin for Ventilator-associated Pneumonia: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Background: Compared with single intravenous therapy, nebulized amikacin combined with intravenous therapy can significantly benefit ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). However, the existing literature provides controversial conclusions. Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, VIP, and Wanfang databases (without language restriction) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving atomization inhalation of amikacin in the treatment of VAP published before October 2020. Literature screening, data extraction, and quality evaluation were performed according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Results : A total of 9 RCTs were found eligible and included in our analysis (1162 patients with VAP). The results of this meta-analysis showed a significant benefit of combination treatment for improving the clinical cure (odds ratio, 2.40; 95% CI, 1.50–3.84; p = 0.006), Pathogen clearance rate (odds ratio, 3.46; 95% CI, 2.41–4.97; p <0.001), bronchospasm rate (odds ratio, 2.82; 95% CI, 1.38–5.78; p = 0.005) and Clinical pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) (MD,-0.90; 95% CI, -1.23 to -0.57; p<0.001), No significant difference was found in 28-day mortality (odds ratio, 1.15; 95%CI, 0.81–1.63; p = 0.45) and renal impairment (odds ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.60–1.30; p = 0.53). Conclusion : The addition of atomization inhalation of amikacin to intravenous antibiotics treatment in VAP patients significantly improves the clinical cure rate and pathogen clearance rate, t can also help reduce the 28-day mortality, bronchospasm rate and CPIS outcome. In addition, the combination has no significant difference in the rate of renal impairment over the conventional intravenous treatment.
Time-Lagged Correlation between Soil Moisture and Intra-Annual Dynamics of Vegetation on the Mongolian Plateau

Soil moisture is a reliable water resource for plant growth in arid and semi-arid regions. Characterizing the interaction between soil moisture and vegetation is important for assessing the sustainability of terrestrial ecosystems. This study explores the spatiotemporal characteristics of four soil moisture layers (layer 1: 0–7 cm, layer 2: 7–28 cm, layer 3: 28–100 cm, and layer 4: 100–289 cm) and the time-lagged correlation with the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for different vegetation types on an intra-annual scale on the Mongolian Plateau (MP). The most significant results indicated that: (1) the four layers of soil moisture can be roughly divided into rapid change (layers 1 and 2), active (layer 3), and stable (layer 4) layers. The soil moisture content in the different vegetation regions was forest > grassland > desert vegetation. (2) The soil moisture in layer 1 showed the strongest positive correlation with NDVI in the whole area; meanwhile, the soil moisture of layers 2 and 3 showed the strongest negative correlation with the NDVI mainly in grassland and desert, and layer 4 showed the strongest negative correlation with the NDVI in the forest. (3) Mutual responses of NDVI and deep layer soil moisture required a longer time compared with the shallow layer. In the annual time scale, the NDVI was affected by the change in soil moisture in most of the study area, except for coniferous forest and desert vegetation regions. (4) Under the different stages of vegetation change, the soil moisture changes advance than NDVI about 3 months during the greening stage, while the NDVI changes advance than soil moisture by 0.5 months during the browning stage. Regardless of the stage, changes in soil moisture are initiated from the shallow layer and advance to the deep layer. The results of this study provide deep insight into the relationship between soil moisture and vegetation in arid and semi-arid regions.
Impact of operational constraints in city logistics pooling efficiency

ABSTRACT City logistics pooling seems to be a promising solution to optimise urban freight transportation. Pooling is a kind of resource sharing in which the ultimate objective is to share the available resources through the active collaboration of all involved stakeholders. Several articles propose VRP-type models and methods to optimise the routing with pooling. Nevertheless, few studies focus on the impact of operational constraints in front of pooling. The main aim of this study is to fill this gap. To this end, we first identify the operational constraints against the implementation of pooling in city logistics. We then use a two-step approach based on mathematical modelling to evaluate the scenarios defined according to the identified constraints. Finally, we set several new indicators to quantify the impacts of these constraints on pooling efficiency. The proposed approach has been tested using real data raised from the literature for the city of Bogota, Colombia.

Generalized 2 N Color Theorem

Introduction In a prior article the author shows how one can construct all possible regular graphs. The author's investigation into the structure of regular graphs motivated applying them to constructing a standard (non-computer proof) of the famous Four-Color Theorem. After having discovered the basic method for solving the Four-Color Theorem in 1989, the author subjected the first unrefined proof to the review of a number of mathematicians throughout the world. Based on these formal and informal reviews the author made several minor fixes to the proof without disturbing its basic flow. In 1993, the author generalized the proof to n-dimensions opening the door to a new way of approaching science and engineering. The 2N Color Theorem should be regarded as a basic building block for a wide range of technical fields of practical interest such as, logistics engineering, human factors engineering, particle physics, molecular engineering, hardware engineering, network design, and much more.
Acupuncture for Atraumatic Shoulder Conditions: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Introduction Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among adults and is caused by a variety of shoulder conditions. The popularity of different acupuncture methods in the nonsurgical treatment of shoulder pain has recently increased. However, evidence regarding the efficacy of acupuncture for shoulder pain is inconsistent, and there is a lack of supporting evidence regarding the overall efficacy of different acupuncture methods for shoulder pain. Methods and Analysis A systematic review will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of a wide range of acupuncture techniques for atraumatic shoulder conditions. The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, Chinese Biomedical Literature, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, and Chongqing VIP databases will be searched to identify eligible studies. Studies will be selected according to preset inclusion and exclusion criteria and relevant data will be extracted from the final included studies. The heterogeneity, risk of bias, publication bias and evidence quality of the studies will be assessed, and a subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis will be performed.
