Endogenous cueing effects for detection can be accounted for by a decision model of selective attention
Authors: Johnson Miranda L. , Palmer John , Moore Cathleen M. , Boynton Geoffrey M. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractSpatial cues help participants detect a visual target when it appears at the cued location. One hypothesis for this cueing effect, called selective perception, is that cueing a location enhances perceptual encoding at that location. Another hypothesis, called selective decision, is that the cue has no effect on perception, but instead provides prior information that facilitates decision-making. We distinguished these hypotheses by comparing a simultaneous display with two spatial locations to sequential displays with two temporal intervals. The simultaneous condition had a partially valid spatial cue, and the sequential condition had a partially valid temporal cue. Selective perception predicts no cueing effect for sequential displays given there is enough time to switch attention. In contrast, selective decision predicts cueing effects for sequential displays regardless of time. We used endogenous cueing of a detection-like coarse orientation discrimination task with clear displays (no external noise or postmasks). Results showed cueing effects for the sequential condition, supporting a decision account of selective attention for endogenous cueing of detection-like tasks.

Authors: Anumarlapudi Akash , Bhalerao Varun , Tendulkar Shriharsh P. , Balasubramanian A. 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are short-lived (∼ms), energetic transients (having a peak flux density of ∼Jy) with no known prompt emission in other energy bands. We present results of a search for prompt X-ray emissions from 41 FRBs using the Cadmium Zinc Telluride Imager on AstroSat, which continuously monitors ∼70% of the sky. Our searches on various timescales in the 20–200 keV range, did not yield any counterparts in this hard X-ray band. We calculate upper limits on hard X-ray flux, in the same energy range and convert them to upper bounds for η: the ratio of X-ray to radio fluence of FRBs. We find η ≤ 108–10 for hard X-ray emission. Our results will help constrain the theoretical models of FRBs as the models become more quantitative and nearer, brighter FRBs are discovered.
Evolution of Cemented Stems
Authors: Shah Nikhil , Porter Martyn 
Published: January 2020

abstract
John Charnley was responsible for pioneering successful cemented hip arthroplasty. Changes in stem design were made in response to early complications such as stem fracture. Various philosophies of stem biomechanics emerged, namely stems performing in the taper slip mode and stems performing as a composite beam. Both stem designs may be successful, although it is important not to mix biomechanical philosophies. Later evolutions have occurred in response to surgical flexibility, specifically modularity and offset options. These attributes can impart new demands on the stem and, in some cases, retrograde developments have occurred. Cemented stems may yield excellent long-term results and have the potential to limit fixation to the proximal femur and establish a metaphyseal-loading regimen. The latest design of taper slip stems, such as the C-stem (DePuy Orthopaedics, Warsaw, Ind), may have advantages in maintaining proximal bone stock and preserving host bone. The historical developments and evolution of the cemented stem in total hip arthroplasty (THA) are discussed.

ABSTRACT

Background
Historically, medically trained experts have served as judges to establish a minimum passing standard (MPS) for mastery learning. As mastery learning expands from procedure-based skills to patient-centered domains, such as communication, there is an opportunity to incorporate patients as judges in setting the MPS.

Objective
We described our process of incorporating patients as judges to set the MPS and compared the MPS set by patients and emergency medicine residency program directors (PDs).

Methods
Patient and physician panels were convened to determine an MPS for a 21-item Uncertainty Communication Checklist. The MPS for both panels were independently calculated using the Mastery Angoff method. Mean scores on individual checklist items with corresponding 95% confidence intervals were also calculated for both panels and differences analyzed using a t test.

Results
Of 240 eligible patients and 42 eligible PDs, 25 patients and 13 PDs (26% and 65% cooperation rates, respectively) completed MPS-setting procedures. The patient-generated MPS was 84.0% (range 45.2–96.2, SD 10.2) and the physician-generated MPS was 88.2% (range 79.7–98.1, SD 5.5). The overall MPS, calculated as an average of these 2 results, was 86.1% (range 45.2–98.1, SD 9.0), or 19 of 21 checklist items.

Conclusions
Patients are able to serve as judges to establish an MPS using the Mastery Angoff method for a task performed by resident physicians. The patient-established MPS was nearly identical to that generated by a panel of residency PDs, indicating similar expectations of proficiency for residents to achieve skill “mastery.”
What's Really Behind the Mask: A Reexamination of Syncretism in Brazilian Candomblé
Authors: Ogunnaike Ayodeji 
Published: January 2020

Abstract
Afro-Catholic syncretism has predominantly been analyzed through the metaphor of a mask in which African slaves ingeniously employed the traditions of Catholic saints to disguise their worship of African deities, ensuring the preservation of their traditions. The study of Brazilian Candomblé—primarily the work of Roger Bastide—has arguably been the most influential in developing this theory. However, this model assumes a Eurocentric framework of discrete, mutually exclusive religions. This article builds on and modifies the mask theory by applying indigenous Yoruba perspectives on cosmology, ontology, interreligious interactions, and masks as traditions that reveal truths more than disguise them. It draws on ethnographic research in Brazil and Nigeria with specialists and practitioners in orişa/orixa traditions and Catholicism. While Westerners may have only seen a mask that camouflaged African deities, Africans themselves created masks that maintained their traditions and revealed their deities, engaging in deep interreligious theology.

Using Case Studies for Research on Judicial Opinions. Some Preliminary Insights
There is a pressing need to develop a research methodology for studying judicial opinions that goes beyond both dogmatic analyzes and the established positions developed within philosophy of law and legal theory (e.g. the hermeneutic and argumentative approaches). One possible way is to adopt or modify methodologies developed within empirically oriented social sciences. Most social science textbooks devoted to methodology of empirical research deal with case studies. So far, this research framework developed within the social sciences has not been applied directly to judicial opinions, though they have been used for some empirical legal research studies. Even et first sight, case study research would appear to have potential for use with judicial opinions. The aim of the paper is to answer the question, how and to what extent can case study methodology developed within the social sciences be fruitfully used to examine judicial opinions? The general answer is undoubtedly positive (case studies can bring new, non-trivial threads to the research methodology on judicial opinions), though with many serious and far-reaching reservations.

The Mendelian inheritance of gynomonoecy: insights from Anacyclus hybridizing species
Authors: Álvarez Inés , Agudo A. Bruno , Herrero Alberto , Torices Rubén 
Published: January 2020

PremiseGynomonoecy is an infrequent sexual system in angiosperms, although widely represented within the Asteraceae family. Currently, the hypothesis of two nuclear loci controling gynomonoecy is the most accepted. However, the genic interactions are still uncertain. Anacyclus clavatus, A. homogamos, and A. valentinus differ in their sexual system and floral traits. Here, we investigate the inheritance of gynomonoecy in this model system to understand its prevalence in the family.MethodsWe selected six natural populations (two per species) for intra‐ and interspecific experimental crosses, and generated a total of 1123 individuals from the F1 generation, F2, and backcrosses for sexual system characterization. The frequency of gynomonoecy observed for each cross was tested to fit different possible hypotheses of genic interaction. Additionally, the breeding system and the degree of reproductive isolation between these species were assessed.ResultsComplementary epistasis, in which two dominant alleles are required for trait expression, explained the frequencies of gynomonoecy observed across all generations. The heterozygosity inferred in Anacyclus valentinus, as well as its lower and variable seed set, is congruent with its hybrid origin.ConclusionsIn our model system gynomonoecy is controlled by complementary epistasis of two genes. A common origin of this sexual system in Asteraceae, in which genic duplications, mutations, and hybridization between lineages played a key role, is hypothesized whereas independent evolutionary pathways and possibly diverse underlying genetic factors are suggested for gynomonoecy expression in other angiosperm families.
Fossil evidence for a Cretaceous rise of the mahogany family
Authors: Atkinson Brian A. 
Published: January 2020

PremiseThe mahogany family (Meliaceae) is an angiosperm lineage comprising many species that are important elements in tropical ecosystems, and is often used as a study system to understand the evolution of tropical rainforests. While divergence time studies have estimated a Cretaceous origin for the family, no unequivocal fossils of that age have been described. Here, the first Cretaceous evidence for Meliaceae is reported, based on an exceptionally well‐preserved fruit from the Upper Cretaceous (79–72 Ma, Campanian) of North America.MethodsThe fossil fruit was prepared using traditional paleobotanical techniques. Bayesian phylogenetic analyses using morphological and molecular data were conducted to assess the phylogenetic position of the Cretaceous fruit in Meliaceae and to assess the effect of morphology for inferring the overall pattern of phylogeny for the family.ResultsThe fruit consists of a fleshy mesocarp and a woody endocarp with a hollow center, nine locules, loculicidal sutures, and one subapically attached seed per locule that has an enlarged sarcotesta near the hilum. The combination of characters in this fruit is strikingly similar to the genus Melia L. Phylogenetic analyses recover the Cretaceous fruit as being closely related to Melia and highlights the effect of fruit morphological data for inferring the overall pattern of phylogeny in Meliaceae. There are a few structural differences between the fossil fruit of this study and Melia; thus, the newly characterized Cretaceous taxon is named Manchestercarpa vancouverensis gen. et sp. nov.DiscussionThese results clearly confirm a Cretaceous origin for Meliaceae and that important tropical families were present prior to the development of modern tropical ecosystems in the Cenozoic.

Authors: Mirmohseni Abdolreza , Rastgar Mortaza , Olad Ali 
Published: January 2020

ABSTRACTSurfaces with antibacterial and antistatic functionalities are one of the new demands of todays' industry. Therefore, a facile method for the preparation of multifunctional polyaniline/copper/TiO2(PANI/Cu/TiO2) ternary nanocomposite based onin situpolymerization is presented. This nanocomposite was characterized through the different techniques and was utilized for induction of antibacterial and antistatic properties in polyurethane coatings. Measurement of the conductivity of PANI/Cu/TiO2ternary nanocomposite indicated higher electrical conductivity of this nanocomposite compared to pure PANI. The antibacterial activity of the modified polyurethane coatings was tested against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria which led to remarkable reduction in bacterial growth. Besides, it was observed that polyurethane coating with 2 wt % content of ternary nanocomposite has a surface electrical resistance equal 4 × 108 Ω/sq which acquires surface electrical resistance of standard antistatic coatings. The final coatings were also characterized in terms of thermal and mechanical properties to investigate the effect of the ternary nanocomposite on improvement of these properties. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Zou Lianli , Xu Qiang 
Published: January 2020

AbstractFabricating a low‐cost and highly efficient electrocatalyst is of importance for the development of renewable energy devices. In this work, we have synthesized an ultrafine cobalt oxide nanocatalyst (5–10 nm) doped with boron (BC/Co3O4) by using a metal–organic framework as a precursor, which exhibits an excellent catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Owing to the improvement of accessible active sites by boron doping, the synthesized catalyst can reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 1.54 V with a low overpotential of 310 mV, superior than those of commercial RuO2 and N‐doped C/Co3O4. This work provides a facile way to develop highly efficient catalysts for electrochemical reactions.

AbstractEnantioselective addition of boronic acids to N‐unsubstituted isatin‐derived ketimines was realized using rhodium(I)/chiral diene catalysts. The reactions can be performed in the presence of catalytic amounts of a base to give adducts in high yield with high enantioselectivity. Preliminary mechanistic information including a computational model to explain the observed enantioselectivity is also provided.

Authors: Saad Radwan Aya , Salim Mohamed M. , Hammad Sherin F. 
Published: January 2020

AbstractSimple and rapid synchronous fluorometric methods were adopted and validated for the simultaneous analysis of a binary mixture of diphenhydramine (DIP) and ibuprofen (IBU) (Mix I) or DIP and phenylephrine (PHE) (Mix II) in their co‐formulated pharmaceuticals without prior separation. Analysis of Mix I is based on the measurement of the peak amplitudes (D1) of synchronous fluorescence intensities at 265.1 nm for DIP and 260 nm for IBU. The relationship between the concentration and the amplitude of the first‐derivative synchronous fluorescence spectra showed good linearity over the concentration ranges 0.50–10.00 μg ml−1 and 0.50–7.90 μg ml−1 for DIP and IBU, respectively. Analysis of Mix II was based on measurement of the peak amplitude (D1) synchronous fluorescence intensities at 230 nm for DIP and at 253.9 nm for PHE. Moreover, for Mix II, the peak amplitude (D2) synchronous fluorescence intensities were measured at 227.9 nm for DIP and at 264.9 nm for PHE. Calibration plots were rectilinear over the concentration range 0.30–3.50 μg ml−1 and 0.03–0.75 μg ml−1 for DIP and PHE, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied to determine the studied compounds in pure form and in pharmaceutical preparations.

Published: January 2020

AbstractAcute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is a common childhood cancer in the United States, with over 6000 new cases diagnosed each year. Administration of bacterial asparaginase (ASNase) has improved survival rates to nearly 80%, however these therapeutics have high incidence of immunological neutralization and serum activity must be monitored for most effective treatment regimens. Here, a 72% improvement in cell‐free protein synthesis (CFPS) of FDA approved l‐asparaginase (crisantaspase) is demonstrated by employing an aspartate‐fed‐batch reactor format. A CFPS‐based ASNase activity assay as a tool for therapeutic regimentation and production quality control is also presented. This work suggests that shelf‐stable and low‐cost Escherichia coli‐based CFPS reactions may be employed on‐demand to 1) synthesize biologics on‐site for patient administration, 2) verify biologic activity for dosage calculations, and 3) monitor therapeutic activity in human serum during the treatment regimen. The combination of both therapeutic production and activity assessment introduces a concept of synergistic utility for bacterial cell lysates in modern medical treatment. Indeed, recent work with CFPS biosensors supports a not‐too‐distant future when shelf‐stable E. coli CFPS systems are used to diagnose, treat, and monitor treatment of diseases in the clinical setting.
Green Knowledge Sharing, Stakeholder Pressure, Absorptive Capacity, and Green Innovation: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Firms
Authors: Song Moxi , Yang Morgan X. , Zeng Kevin J. , Feng Wenting 
Published: January 2020

AbstractA central issue faced by many Chinese manufacturing firms is how to absorb and utilize green knowledge shared among supply chain members for superior green innovation. Invoking the indirect research stream of organizational learning theory, we develop a moderated mediation model in which absorptive capacity mediates the interactive effects of green knowledge sharing and stakeholder pressure on green innovation. Our hypotheses were tested using a sample of 247 Chinese manufacturing firms. The results from multiple regression and bootstrapping tests reveal that absorptive capacity fully mediates the link between green knowledge sharing and green innovation, and the mediation effect is positively contingent upon stakeholder pressure. These findings provide managerial implications for Chinese manufacturing firms, recommending that these firms effectively develop their absorptive capacities and closely monitor stakeholder pressure to realize the green innovation benefits of green knowledge sharing.

Published: January 2020

AbstractIn recent years, lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely used in many fields, and research on LIBs electrode materials have attracted much attention. Among them, transition metal selenides (TMSs) are the most promising candidates in the next generation LIBs due to their high theoretical specific capacity and electrical conductivity. However, poor cycle stability and severe volume variation result in serious capacity decay during the charge/discharge process, limiting the practical application. In this paper, CoSe2−MnSe2 composites are synthesized via Co−Mn‐based metal‐organic framework (MOF) precursor. Meanwhile, three types of materials are successfully synthesized including CoSe2‐MnSe2@reduced graphene oxide (rGO), CoSe2‐MnSe2@polypyrrole (PPy), and CoSe2‐MnSe2/glucose (C). According to the electrochemical test results, it can be seen that the electrochemical performance of CoSe2−MnSe2 has been improved significantly. CoSe2‐MnSe2@rGO electrode materials, in particular, of which the inactivation defect sites and special carbon structure of rGO could provide more attachment points for ions. Due to the perfect combination of rGO and CoSe2−MnSe2, the CoSe2‐MnSe2@rGO composites display outstanding rate performance (1266 mA h g−1 at current densities of 100 mA g−1) and high reversible capacity (1169 after 150 cycles at 100 mA g−1). We believe that CoSe2‐MnSe2@rGO is a kind of very promising anode material.

Published: January 2020

AbstractCommercial gasoline must satisfy several product specifications before trading. In the present work, repeated double cross validation using partial least squares regression was applied to create reliable prediction models for 13 physicochemical parameters (eg, density, vapour pressure, evaporate at 70°C, evaporate at 100°C, evaporate at 150°C, final boiling point, research octane number, motor octane number, aromatic content, olefinic content, benzene content, oxygen content, and methyltert‐butyl ether content) of gasoline produced in Matosinhos' refinery. The input variables for the regression are the1H NMR spectral intensities of a total of 448 samples, which were recorded using a picoSpin NMR spectrometer operating at 80 MHz. The output variables are the corresponding property values, which were also measured according to ISO standard methods. A spectral feature elimination before multivariate analysis was done to remove noise and speed up the chemometric analysis. The optimum complexity of each model was achieved by repeated double cross‐validation strategy, consisting of 100 repetitions of two nested cross‐validation loops. Quantitative partial least squares yielded accurate predictions of 11 of 13 properties within the reproducibility of ISO standards. The methodology presented in this work has been proven effective in property estimation and enables a significant reduction in the total time of gasoline quality control.
