Published: June 2020

Abstract
In this study, structural and electronic properties of the single-layer structure of Graphene, the single-layer structure of blue Phosphorene, the two-layer structure of blue Phosphorene/Graphene, the three-layer structure of blue-Phosphorene/Graphene/blue-Phosphorene and the three-layer structure of Graphene/blue-Phosphorene/Graphene have been investigated. The calculations are conducted based on the density functional theory (DFT) and using SIESTA code and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The results show that the single-layer structure of Graphene reveals quasi-metallic behavior, and the single-layer structure of blue Phosphorene exhibit semiconducting behavior. Two - and three-layer structures of Graphene and blue Phosphorene have a metallic behavior. Total energy and structural stability have also been investigated.

AbstractIn this paper, we focused on the investigated and studied the cold fusion reaction rate for D-D using the theory of Bose-Einstein condensation and depending on the quantum mechanics consideration. The quantum theory was based on the concept of single conventional of deuterons in Nickel-metal due to Bose-Einstein condensation, it has supplied a consistent description and explained of the experimental data. The analysis theory model has capable of explaining the physical behaviour of deuteron induced nuclear reactions in Nickel metals upon the five-star matter, it‘s the most expected for a quantitative predicted of the physical theory. Based on the Bose-Einstein condensation theorem formulation, we calculation the cold fusion reaction rate for D-D transfer to Nickel-metal using the astrophysical S factors(S =110KeV — barn)for d(d,p)T, d(d, n)3He reactions and (S= 110 × 106and S= 110 ×1013KeV—barn) forD+D×4He+ 23.8MeVreaction. The results of the calculation for three reactions give rise a wide compatible with the other experimental works.

Published: June 2020

Abstract
We research the polarized dressing control of biphotons interference and quantum tomography. Different biphotons counting rates are obtained by different polarization dressings of incident beams of lights. We calculated the counting rates of all polarized dressing schemes. The counting rate of circularly polarized dressing has been observed with shorter period of oscillation and a longer coherence time when compared with linear polarization. Since, the different polarization dressings result in different modules of third-order nonlinear susceptibilities and different linewidths. Thus, we can adjust the dressing field by changing the polarization of the incident beam of light to obtain controlled pair of photons with desired longer coherence time. Based on that, we study the impact of the two dressing fields which cause the third-order nonlinear susceptibility to be different. In the absence and presence of external dressing field, the biphoton coincidence rate is completely different. By performing quantum tomography, we get various Werner-states and the polarization states of incident lights, this also helps in comprehensive characterization of output state. Further, we define the interference visibility for different polarized dressed states. The visibility of the circularly polarized dressing field is found to be larger when compared with linearly polarized dressing field. Thus, we can obtain photons with controllable coherence time and desired visibility with different polarization schemes to uncover the indistinguishability of photon interference and promote the study of quantum optics.
Behavioral Rules for Soil Excavation by Colony Founders and Workers in Termites
Authors: Mizumoto Nobuaki , Gile Gillian H , Pratt Stephen C 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Social insects produce complex nest structures as a result of the repetition of simple behaviors by many individuals. Individual actions are often consistent across different socio-environmental conditions, which enables colonies to build a variety of structures with minimal change in behavior. In this study, we show that the individual building behavior of termites can be a species-specific trait shared even between distinct morphological castes. Subterranean termites engage in soil excavation in two different contexts in their life history: foraging for resources by workers and initial nest excavation by colony foundation pairs. Our comparison of tunneling behaviors by colony founders of three different species revealed distinct transporting mechanisms; Heterotermes aureus (Snyder) (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) and Gnathamitermes perplexus (Banks) (Isoptera: Termitidae) carry sand particles using only their mandibles, while Paraneotermes simplicicornis (Banks) (Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) use their legs to kick sand particles backward. The observed behaviors are consistent with those of workers in each species, despite a substantial dimorphism of body size, especially in G. perplexus. Furthermore, the behavioral difference is associated with distinct tunnel development and task allocation patterns among species. Our study suggests that the nest building behavior of termites varies little with context or function within a species but can change among species, emphasizing the fruitfulness of comparative studies in future research.
Anti Anti-Orientalism, or Is Chinese Law Different?†
Authors: Clarke Donald 
Published: June 2020

Abstract
Comparative law is haunted by the perceived need to avoid Orientalism: a type of analysis that postulates a dichotomy between the object of study and “the West,” finds the object lacking in certain essential qualities (or even having the opposite qualities of those the analyst deems essential), and then declares the object to be inferior. Yet a desire to avoid the errors of an Orientalist exaggeration and condemnation of difference all too often leads to an a priori denial of fundamental difference before the inquiry has even begun. The political imperative of anti-Orientalism takes precedence over all.
This Article makes three arguments. First, it argues that there exists in comparative law scholarship in general, and in Chinese law scholarship in particular, a kind of anti-Orientalist discourse that needs to be critiqued because its very methodology makes it impossible to think certain thoughts and reach certain conclusions, regardless of the data. While I do not propose to rehabilitate Orientalism, I do maintain that it is time to move beyond anti-Orientalism. Second, it argues that data about what is conventionally called the Chinese legal system mean we have to seriously entertain the possibility that it is misleading to use the conventional language of Western jurisprudence (courts, judges, laws, rights) to talk about it, and not simply dismiss arguments to that effect as Orientalist or ethnocentric. Third, it argues that how we characterize China’s putatively legal order matters. China’s increasing integration into the global economy means that American institutions will increasingly have to deal with the products of that legal order. Questions about its fundamental nature can no longer be avoided.
While the Article uses China as an example, its methodological point and conclusions apply more broadly to the analysis of any putative legal system. We should not derogate difference just because it is different, but we should not be biased against finding difference in the first place.
A large-scale investigation and identification of methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureusbased on peaks binning of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight MS spectra

Published: June 2020

AbstractRecent studies have demonstrated that the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) could be used to detect superbugs, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Due to an increasingly clinical need to classify between MRSA and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) efficiently and effectively, we were motivated to develop a systematic pipeline based on a large-scale dataset of MS spectra. However, the shifting problem of peaks in MS spectra induced a low effectiveness in the classification between MRSA and MSSA isolates. Unlike previous works emphasizing on specific peaks, this study employs a binning method to cluster MS shifting ions into several representative peaks. A variety of bin sizes were evaluated to coalesce drifted or shifted MS peaks to a well-defined structured data. Then, various machine learning methods were performed to carry out the classification between MRSA and MSSA samples. Totally 4858 MS spectra of unique S. aureus isolates, including 2500 MRSA and 2358 MSSA instances, were collected by Chang Gung Memorial Hospitals, at Linkou and Kaohsiung branches, Taiwan. Based on the evaluation of Pearson correlation coefficients and the strategy of forward feature selection, a total of 200 peaks (with the bin size of 10 Da) were identified as the marker attributes for the construction of predictive models. These selected peaks, such as bins 2410–2419, 2450–2459 and 6590–6599 Da, have indicated remarkable differences between MRSA and MSSA, which were effective in the prediction of MRSA. The independent testing has revealed that the random forest model can provide a promising prediction with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) at 0.8450. When comparing to previous works conducted with hundreds of MS spectra, the proposed scheme demonstrates that incorporating machine learning method with a large-scale dataset of clinical MS spectra may be a feasible means for clinical physicians on the administration of correct antibiotics in shorter turn-around-time, which could reduce mortality, avoid drug resistance and shorten length of stay in hospital in the future.

Abstract
Given the scale and rapid spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there is an urgent need for medicines that can help before vaccines are available. In this study, we present a viral-associated disease-specific chemogenomics knowledgebase (Virus-CKB) and apply our computational systems pharmacology-target mapping to rapidly predict the FDA-approved drugs which can quickly progress into clinical trials to meet the urgent demand of the COVID-19 outbreak. Virus-CKB reuses the underlying platform of our DAKB-GPCRs but adds new features like multiple-compound support, multi-cavity protein support and customizable symbol display. Our one-stop computing platform describes the chemical molecules, genes and proteins involved in viral-associated diseases regulation. To date, Virus-CKB archived 65 antiviral drugs in the market, 107 viral-related targets with 189 available 3D crystal or cryo-EM structures and 2698 chemical agents reported for these target proteins. Moreover, Virus-CKB is implemented with web applications for the prediction of the relevant protein targets and analysis and visualization of the outputs, including HTDocking, TargetHunter, BBB predictor, NGL Viewer, Spider Plot, etc. The Virus-CKB server is accessible at https://www.cbligand.org/g/virus-ckb.

Optimal Slack Stealing Servicing for Real-Time Energy Harvesting Systems
Authors: El Osta Rola , Chetto Maryline , El Ghor Hussein 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe consider the problem of real-time scheduling in uniprocessor devices powered by energy harvesters. In particular, we focus on mixed sets of tasks with time and energy constraints: hard deadline periodic tasks and soft aperiodic tasks without deadlines. We present an optimal aperiodic servicing algorithm that minimizes the response times of aperiodic tasks without compromising the schedulability of hard deadline periodic tasks. The server, called Slack Stealing with energy Preserving (SSP), is designed based on a slack stealing mechanism that profits whenever possible from available spare processing time and energy. We analytically establish the optimality of SSP. Our simulation results validate our theoretical analysis.
The Social-Origins Gap in Labour Market Outcomes: Compensatory and Boosting Advantages Using a Micro-Class Approach
Authors: Bernardi Fabrizio , Gil-Hernández Carlos J 
Published: June 2020

AbstractRecent studies document a social-origins gap or direct effect of social origin (DESO) on labour market outcomes over and above respondents’ education, challenging the idea that post-industrial societies are education-based meritocracies. Yet, the literature offers insufficient explanations on DESO heterogeneity across education and different labour market outcomes. Little is also known about underlying mechanisms. We contribute by answering two questions: (i) How does DESO vary when comparing college-degree holders with non-holders? (ii) For which specific parental and children’s occupations is the largest DESO observed? We focus on Spain, using a large new dataset (n = 144,286). Firstly, we find a larger DESO on socioeconomic status among non-degree holders, and on income among degree holders. We propose the notions of compensatory advantage in occupational attainment and boosting advantage in income for high social-origin individuals to explain these opposite patterns, drawing from ‘downward mobility avoidance’ and ‘effectively maintained inequality’ theories. Secondly, we map origin and destination micro-classes where DESO is largest. High-grade managerial and professional parental occupations, characterized by social closure and influence in large organizations, are the origin micro-classes exerting the largest DESO. We also find that compensatory advantage for low-educated children from advantaged origins is related to their higher chances of accessing managerial occupations, while boosting advantage on income among college graduates is observed for high-grade managers and liberal professionals, suggesting that micro-class reproduction may partially account for boosting advantage. We conclude by discussing the generalizability of our findings to other countries and their implications for research on DESO, meritocracy and social mobility.

Abstract

Background
Data on occurrence, management and outcomes of iatrogenic aortic dissections (IAD) as a complication of catheter ablation (CA) do not exist.

Purpose
To evaluate multicenter data on occurrence, management and outcomes of IAD as a complication of CA.

Methods
Data on occurrence, management and outcomes of documented vascular dissections from 10 centers were evaluated.

Results
IADs occurred in 7 patients (2 females, age 63 ± 8 years). Indications for CA were frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVC)/ventricular tachycardia (VT) in 6 patients (86%) and left-sided accessory pathway in the remaining one (14%). Hypertension was most frequent comorbidity (4 pts, 57%). All IADs occurred during retrograde advancement of ablation catheter. In the vast majority of patients creation of IAD during catheter advancement was not associated with any symptoms (6 pts, 86%). IAD was initially detected using trans-luminal angiogram in 5 (71%) and further confirmed using computed tomography (CT) (5 pts, 71%), conventional angiography (2 pts, 28%) and ultrasound (2 pts, 28%). One IAD was detected during CT scan performed for other indication after CA. There was one IAD-related death and IAD was evaluated post-mortem. Follow-up lasted 10 ± 19 months. Four patients were treated conservatively, one patient underwent descending aorta stenting and one femoral artery stenting.

Conclusions
IAD during CA is a rare but can be devastating. Early recognition can be difficult. Conservative management of IAD is an option of treatment.

Abstract

Abstract/Introduction
Decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) is a main and increasing health problem worldwide, which leads to patients’ bad outcomes and high money expenditure. Direct relationship between Brain Natriuretic Peptides (NT-proBNP) increasing levels and adverse clinical outcomes have been demonstrated in patients with CHF. SonR signal sensor, a micro-accelerometer embedded in the tip of the atrial lead in patients implanted with devices, picks up cardiac muscle vibration. Its amplitude is a surrogate for cardiac contractility, which is found to be further reduced in patients with decompensated CHF.

Purpose
We sought to find a significant inverse correlation between SonR signal and NT-proBNP levels, in order to use SonR as a surrogate of NT-proBNP to anticipate worsening CHF leading to hospital admission.

Methods
AVCs SONR trial is a pilot, prospective, observational, multicentre study, in which patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, any aetiology, LV ejection fraction ≤ 30%, at least one recent (&lt; 1 year) hospital admission due to CHF, and implanted with CRT-D devices (used as dual-chamber, no left ventricular (LV) lead implanted) with SonR sensor feature, were enrolled. During a year, NT-proBNP and SonR values were obtained every month, and both levels compared (Pearson’s test)

Results
This an interim analysis of our data, 18 months after the first patient was enrolled. Twenty two patients and 116 data pairs were analysed. Most patients were men (91%) and had ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (59%). Mean age was 61 (range 34-82) and mean LV ejection fraction was 27% (range 15-30). The mean Pearson’s correlation coefficient of the NT-proBNP values and the SonR signal was r = - 0.36 (95% CI -0.51 to -0.19), p &lt; 0.00006 (Figure)

Conclusions
The interim analysis of this study shows an inverse and very significant relationship between SonR signal and NT-proBNP values. This suggests SonR signal might be used as predictor of worsening CHF.
