Published: December 2020

Despite pronounced associations of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) regions with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), causal variants underlying NPC pathogenesis remain elusive. Our large-scale comprehensive MHC region deep sequencing study of 5689 Hong Kong Chinese identifies eight independent NPC-associated signals and provides mechanistic insight for disrupted transcription factor binding, altering target gene transcription. Two novel protective variants, rs2517664 (Trs2517664 = 4.6%,P = 6.38 × 10−21) and rs117495548 (Grs117495548 = 3.0%,P = 4.53 × 10−13), map nearTRIM31andTRIM39/TRIM39-RPP21; multiple independent protective signals map nearHLA-Bincluding a previously unreported variant, rs2523589 (P = 1.77 × 10−36). The rareHLA-B*07:05allele (OR < 0.015,P = 5.83 × 10−21) is absent in NPC, but present in controls. The most prevalent haplotype lacks seven independent protective alleles (OR = 1.56) and the one with additional Asian-specific susceptibility rs9391681 allele (OR = 2.66) significantly increased NPC risk. Importantly, this study provides new evidence implicating two non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes, E3 ubiquitin ligases,TRIM31andTRIM39, impacting innate immune responses, with NPC risk reduction, independent of classical HLA class I/II alleles.
Autoregulation of yeast ribosomal proteins discovered by efficient search for feedback regulation
Authors: Roy Basab , Granas David , Bragg Fredrick , Cher Jonathan A. Y. , White Michael A. , Stormo Gary D.
Published: December 2020

Post-transcriptional autoregulation of gene expression is common in bacteria but many fewer examples are known in eukaryotes. We used the yeast collection of genes fused to GFP as a rapid screen for examples of feedback regulation in ribosomal proteins by overexpressing a non-regulatable version of a gene and observing the effects on the expression of the GFP-fused version. We tested 95 ribosomal protein genes and found a wide continuum of effects, with 30% showing at least a 3-fold reduction in expression. Two genes, RPS22B and RPL1B, showed over a 10-fold repression. In both cases the cis-regulatory segment resides in the 5’ UTR of the gene as shown by placing that segment of the mRNA upstream of GFP alone and demonstrating it is sufficient to cause repression of GFP when the protein is over-expressed. Further analyses showed that the intron in the 5’ UTR of RPS22B is required for regulation, presumably because the protein inhibits splicing that is necessary for translation. The 5’ UTR of RPL1B contains a sequence and structure motif that is conserved in the binding sites of Rpl1 orthologs from bacteria to mammals, and mutations within the motif eliminate repression.
Chance played a role in determining whether Earth stayed habitable
Authors: Tyrrell Toby
Published: December 2020

Earth’s climate has remained continuously habitable throughout 3 or 4 billion years. This presents a puzzle (the ‘habitability problem’) because loss of habitability appears to have been more likely. Solar luminosity has increased by 30% over this time, which would, if not counteracted, have caused sterility. Furthermore, Earth’s climate is precariously balanced, potentially able to deteriorate to deep-frozen conditions within as little as 1 million years. Here I present results from a novel simulation in which thousands of planets were assigned randomly generated climate feedbacks. Each planetary set-up was tested to see if it remained habitable over a period of 3 billion years. The conventional view attributes Earth’s extended habitability solely to stabilising mechanisms. The simulation results shown here reveal instead that chance also plays a role in habitability outcomes. Earth’s long-lasting habitability was therefore most likely a contingent rather than an inevitable outcome.

Nuclear import is considered as one of the major limitations for non-viral gene delivery systems and the incorporation of nuclear localization signals (NLS) that mediate nuclear intake can be used as a strategy to enhance internalization of exogenous DNA.

In this work, human-derived endogenous NLS peptides based on insulin growth factor binding proteins (IGFBP), namely IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5, were tested for their ability to improve nuclear translocation of genetic material by non-viral vectors. Several strategies were tested to determine their effect on chitosan mediated transfection efficiency: co-administration with polyplexes, co-complexation at the time of polyplex formation, and covalent ligation to chitosan. Our results show that co-complexation and covalent ligation of the NLS peptide derived from IGFBP-3 to chitosan polyplexes yields a 2-fold increase in transfection efficiency, which was not observed for NLS peptide derived from IGFBP-5.

These results indicate that the integration of IGFBP-NLS-3 peptides into polyplexes has potential as a strategy to enhance the efficiency of non-viral vectors.
Galaxies within galaxies in the TIMER survey: stellar populations of inner bars are scaled replicas of main bars

Inner bars are frequent structures in the local Universe and thought to substantially influence the nuclear regions of disc galaxies. In this study we explore the structure and dynamics of inner bars by deriving maps and radial profiles of their mean stellar population content and comparing them to previous findings in the context of main bars. To this end, we exploit observations obtained with the integral-field spectrograph MUSE of three double-barred galaxies in the TIMER sample. The results indicate that inner bars can be clearly distinguished based on their stellar population properties alone. More precisely, inner bars show significantly elevated metallicities and depleted [α/Fe] abundances. Although they exhibit slightly younger stellar ages compared to the nuclear disc, the typical age differences are small, except at their outer ends. These ends of the inner bars are clearly younger compared to their inner parts, an effect known from main bars as orbital age separation. In particular, the youngest stars (i.e. those with the lowest radial velocity dispersion) seem to occupy the most elongated orbits along the (inner) bar major axis. We speculate that these distinct ends of bars could be connected to the morphological feature of ansae. Radial profiles of metallicity and [α/Fe] enhancements are flat along the inner bar major axis, but show significantly steeper slopes along the minor axis. This radial mixing in the inner bar is also known from main bars and indicates that inner bars significantly affect the radial distribution of stars. In summary, based on maps and radial profiles of the mean stellar population content and in line with previous TIMER results, inner bars appear to be scaled down versions of the main bars seen in galaxies. This suggests the picture of a ‘galaxy within a galaxy’, with inner bars in nuclear discs being dynamically equivalent to main bars in main galaxy discs.
Effects of interpersonal familiarity on the auditory distance perception of level-equalized reverberant speech
Authors: Demirkaplan Özgen , Hacıhabiboğlu Hüseyin
Published: December 2020

Familiarity with sound sources is known to have a modulatory effect on auditory distance perception. However, the level of familiarity that can affect distance perception is not clearly understood. A subjective experiment that aims to investigate the effects of interpersonal familiarity on auditory distance perception with level-equalized stimuli is reported. The experiment involves a binaural listening task where different source distances between 0.5 and 16 m were emulated by convolving dry speech signals with measured binaural room impulse responses. The experimental paradigm involved level-equalized stimuli comprising speech signals recorded from different-gender couples who have self-reported to have known each other for more than a year with daily interaction. Each subject judged the distances of a total of 15 different speech stimuli from their partner as well as spectrally most similar and most dissimilar strangers, for six different emulated distances. The main finding is that a similar but unfamiliar speaker is localized to be further away than a familiar speaker. Another finding is that the semantic properties of speech can potentially have a modulating effect on auditory distance judgements.

Published: December 2020

Taking into account the energy cost, pollution emission, wind power consumption, and other dispatching objectives in the regionally integrated energy system (RIES), the RIES multi-objective optimization model considering the integrated demand response is established. Firstly, the RIES modeling of equipment including electricity-to-gas, energy storage systems, cogeneration units, etc., and the introduction of a comprehensive demand response that specifically considers load reduction, load transfer, and load replacement in the region, aimed at reducing system load peaks and valleys difference. Then, the objective function to minimize the system energy cost, the abandoned wind power, and the pollutant treatment cost was established respectively, and the multi-objective optimization method was adopted—the Pareto front was solved by fuzzy weighted programming traversal weights, and then the decision was made based on evidence Method to find the optimal scheduling strategy. Finally, based on a typical case study, the results show that the proposed multi-objective optimization algorithm can effectively make trade-offs among multiple scheduling objectives, and RIES considering comprehensive demand response has advantages in terms of total energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and wind power consumption.

Authors: Li Yaojia
Published: December 2020

Nowadays, since the most of individual investors provide money to company for real cash inflows, paying cash dividend, as the main way to pay money back to the investors, is definitely paid more attention to. But for the company, keeping money in itself can help to grab development opportunities in time. This essay reveals the possible outcomes in dividend policy because of the ultimate controller’s changing. Given to the results of existing research works and the data from Chinese listed companies, after exemplifying some typical cases, the conclusion can be illustrated clearly: The ultimate controller’s changing effect cash dividend payment by generating disputes of share transfer, complicating the pyramid-shaped shareholding structure, and damaging corporate governance and operating ability. Further more, auditing and cash dividend payment are substitutes for each other as corporate economic supervision tools. Meanwhile, auditing can reduce the negative influence of ultimate controller’s changing so that investors can get more cash dividend. This paper offers a new perspective for studies about the factors of cash dividend tendency and briefly discusses how the heated topic of auditing exerts influence on the relationship.

Review of Resource Utilization Technology of Steel Slag and Carbon Capture Utilization
Authors: Qiao Zheng
Published: December 2020

Steel slag is a kind of alkaline solid waste produced in the process of steel production. In China, the annual steel slag production is very large but the utilization rate is only 20%. Therefore, technologies disposing steel slag effectively need to be developed. In traditional resource utilization technology, steel slag is used in sintering flux, road construction, cement and concrete production, preparation of glass ceramics and agriculture. In these fields, we mainly give full play to steel slag’s mechanical properties. Although these traditional technologies are simple and easy to use, the main reason for their limited application is the low value of resource-based products and the lack of market competitiveness. Therefore, some new exploration has been made on the resource utilization of steel slag, including dephosphorization of sewage, heavy metal adsorption, hazardous gas removal, fixed CO2 by mineral carbonation. Compared with the traditional resource utilization technologies, these new technologies mainly utilize the physical and chemical properties of steel slag, such as alkalinity and pore characteristics. However, these new technologies also have some limitations, so it is necessary to develop a resource-based technology with strong pertinency, large consumption and high added value of products to treat steel slag. Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas leading to global climate change. At present, China’s carbon dioxide emissions are high, so it is urgent to develop effective carbon dioxide emission reduction technology. In recent years, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology has received extensive attention. This paper summarizes the carbon capture utilization and sequestration technology, and discusses its problems at present.

Integrating Health Belief Model, Technological Self-efficacy, and the PEN-3 cultural model: Conceptualizing the impact of culture and technology on health for advancing Sustainable Smart Health
Authors: Wu Xue , Zhao Man , Liao Han-Teng
Published: December 2020

As people record, visualize, analyze, share, reflect on, etc. their everyday life using digital and network technologies, how can researchers and designers empower them to engage both the technologies and health about themselves? Though the Health Belief Model (HBM) has been used to explain and predict healthrelated behaviors, and the Technological Self-efficacy (TSE), and the PEN-3 cultural model has been used as constructs of technological and cultural self-efficacy, it remains a challenging task to tease out the impact of cultural and technological factors for people to improve their health conditions and well-being by taking direct and indirect actions. With the aim to develop a conceptual framework to overcome such a challenge, this study examined and selected a few constructs from the TSE and PEN-3 cultural models, respectively, and then use them to enrich the HBM so that the impact of cultural and technological factors can be better integrated and examined. The integrated model can be used as an analysis tool for both researchers and designers to identify first the relevant cultural and technological factors (using selected constructs), and then formulate and then test hypotheses regarding how these factors shape their health and technology actions (using the causal modeling of the enriched HBM).The integrated model proposed and illustrated in this study shows the ways in which both cultural and technological factors can be conceptualized to explain and predict health-related behaviors via perceived beliefs (often related to technology and health). For example, self-tracking visualization involves both cultural and technological factors that may facilitate or impede health-related behaviors.

Lithium/fluorinated carbon (Li/CFx) batteries are the highest-energy-density primary batteries which are widely used in various field. Herein, the novel fluorinated carbon (CFx) with superior performance are made of fluorination of ketjen-black. The fluorinated ketjen-black (F-KB) as the cathode material of Li/CFx delivered a high specific capacity over 880 mAh g-1 with a discharge plateau ~3.1 V (vs. Li+/Li). The energy density over 2400 Wh kg-1 for F-KB is higher than the theoretical energy density (2180 Wh kg-1) of fluorinated graphite. F-KB can be discharged at high rate of 5C delivering a high-power density of 9710 W kg-1 with the energy density of 1610 Wh kg-1, showing good performance of rate capability.

The heterogeneity of glutenite reservoir is serious, and breakthrough is easy to occur in the process of water drive and gas drive, which reduces the sweep efficiency. The serious vertical heterogeneity in the H well area of Xinjiang oilfield led to the rapid gas breakthrough during gas injection test. Water alternating gas flooding and foam profile control are often used to seal breakthrough. In this paper, based on the actual reservoir characteristics, vertical heterogeneous planar model is made for flooding experiment. The experimental results show that after gas breakthrough caused by water alternating gas flooding, the flue gas foam can effectively block the high permeability layer and develop the low permeability layer, improve the sweep efficiency and recovery percent, and provide reference for the development adjustment of actual reservoir after gas breakthrough.

By solving the Nash equilibrium of the electricity market, it is possible to observe the game process of market entities under different boundary conditions and predict the future trend of the market. In order to study the state of market equilibrium in the power spot market, firstly we constructed a bi-level equilibrium model. The upper layer is the problem of maximizing the profit of power generation enterprises under the bidding constraint, and the lower layer is the security constraint economic dispatch with the goal of maximizing social welfare. The traditional solution transforms the bi-level model into MPEC or EPEC through optimal conditions, but they are generally non-convex and difficult to solve. In this regard, the coevolution algorithm is used to solve the bi-level model, and it is proved that the result of co-evolution under a limited strategy set is equivalent to the Nash equilibrium. Finally, an example of PJM 5 machine with 5 nodes is used to analyse the power market equilibrium in the spot market.
