Published: January 2021

Abstract
Power Internet of Things is the application of Internet of Things technology in smart grids. It is an important technical means indispensable for the construction of smart grids. In order to solve the problem of test data imbalance caused by the positioning deviation of the power sensor out of regulation point in the dynamic test system, A method for locating power sensor out-of-regulation points based on improved association mining algorithm (IMA) and FPGA implementation is proposed, and the association mining algorithm is analysed in detail. The paper uses the Monitoring Information Database (MNIB) to realize the organization and storage of power Internet of Things information. Designed a dedicated application layer communication protocol PIOTP, and developed a set of procedures, and finally established a standardized model of information interaction and a unique identification of equipment, so that data can be interacted with a unified information model in the network layer. The thesis completed the information transmission between the monitoring centre and the remote-control terminal (RTU), which verified the feasibility of the scheme.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
The USB universal serial bus is widely used in host computer control and data information transmission due to its plug-and-play, hot-swap support, and flexible use. However, due to cable loss and USB protocol restrictions, high-speed USB signals can only support a transmission distance of 5 meters. In this paper, there shows an engineering application design of the signal transmission scheme based on the USB signal processing chip CH317. Convert hi-speed USB signal into optical Ethernet signal to achieve long-distance transmission of high-speed USB signals. Since there is no test standard at the application layer for hi-speed USB signal, in this paper design a complete test scheme for this transmission method at the hardware layer and application layer according to the existing test standards of hi-speed USB signal and Ethernet. It has certain reference significance for the application of hi-speed USB signal long-distance transmission in engineering.

Authors: Wang Yaohong , Chu Qi , Han Qing , Zhang Zeping , Ma Xiaoyan 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
To investigate the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete columns mixed with steel fibre and aeolian sand, seven different specimens were built and tested under a lateral cyclic loading test. The specimens included one ordinary reinforced concrete column (RC), three reinforced concrete columns mixed with aeolian sand (ARC), and three reinforced concrete columns mixed with steel fibres and aeolian sand (SARC). The seismic behaviour of specimens was studied by comparing the seismic indexes exhibited in the test. The results show that SARC specimens with 30% of aeolian sand replaced in the mix has better seismic behaviour than that of the other specimens. The influence of steel fibres on the seismic behaviour of the SARC specimens is strengthened by increasing the replacement rate of aeolian sand.

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Density functional theory based calculations and experimental analysis on a limited number of real samples are performed to study how the presence of silver intercalated in the van der Waals gap of few-layer MoS2 affects the low-frequency Raman active modes of this material. Silver is found to predominantly affect the breathing-like and shear-like vibrational modes of MoS2. These modes correspond to quasi-rigid movements of each individual layer with a restoring force (and, in turn, frequency) that is determined by modulations in the weak interlayer interactions. Noticeable red-shifts with increasing Ag concentration are found for all low-frequency modes. This finding indicates the potential for low-frequency vibrations as useful gauges for practical determination of silver concentration using low-frequency Raman spectroscopy. This work also describes a semi-classical linear chain model that allows to extrapolate results to a large number of layers. Further, first-principles calculations show how Raman spectroscopy can be used to characterize the quality of the two-dimensional interface between MoS2 and a silver substrate.

Authors: Krystek Petra , Shandilya Neeraj , Fransman Wouter 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Driven by the concept of the ‘four generations of nanomaterials’, the current state of the knowledge on risk assessment of future generation is explored for active nanomaterials. Through case studies, we identify challenges and evaluate the preparedness of characterization methods, available risk assessment modeling tools, and analytical instrumentation for such future generation active nanomaterials with dynamic hybrid structures of biotic–abiotic and organic–inorganic combinations. Currently available risk assessment tools and analytical instrumentation were found to be lacking the risk preparedness and characterization readiness for active nanomaterials, respectively. Potential future developments in risk assessment modeling tools and analytical techniques can be based upon this work which shall ensure long-term safety of the next generation of nanomaterials.

Published: January 2021

AbstractBackgroundSepsis is associated with excessive release of catecholamines, which causes tachycardia and is correlated with poor clinical outcome. β-Blockers (BBs) may blunt this effect on heart rate (HR). The objective of this study is to assess whether long-term BB therapy is associated with better clinical outcomes in patients with sepsis admitted to internal medicine wards.MethodsWe performed a single-center, observational cohort study. We included adult patients who were hospitalized in medicine departments due to sepsis. A propensity score model for BB therapy was used to match patients. The primary outcome was the 30-day all-cause mortality rate. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify risk factors for an adverse outcome. Patients were stratified according to absolute tachycardia (HR ≥100/min) or relative tachycardia at presentation (tachycardia index above the third quartile, with tachycardia index defined as the ratio of HR to temperature).ResultsA total of 1186 patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. In the propensity-matched cohort patients given BB treatment were younger (median age [interquartile range], 74 [62–82] vs 81 [68–87] years; P ≤ .001). BB treatment was associated with reduction in 30-day mortality rates for patients with absolute tachycardia (odds ratio, 0.406; 95% confidence interval, .177–.932). Final model with interaction variable of BB treatment with HR was associated with short-term survival (odds ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, .148–.976). Selective BB therapy had a stronger protective effect than nonselective BB therapy.ConclusionsLong-term BB therapy was associated with decreased mortality rate in patients hospitalized with sepsis in internal medicine wards exhibiting absolute and relative tachycardia.

Published: January 2021

AbstractOcean grabbing occurs when traditional users, such as small-scale fishers, are pushed aside by new development activities. This grabbing must be prevented to avoid sea uses that maintain or increase social inequity. In this paper, we show that in tropical Atlantic countries, such as Brazil and Senegal, examples of ocean grabbing already occur. In this context, we analyse if Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) may be an opportunity to limit ocean grabbing or, to the contrary, poses a risk to increase it. MSP calls for an ecosystem approach that requires integrated coastal and marine management and involves stakeholders in developing a shared vision of the future, where society and environment are preserved. However, recent studies have shown that MSP is a process to be used cautiously to ensure equitable decisions. Meanwhile, the concept is spreading worldwide including in tropical Atlantic countries. We highlight that context matters and the specificities of the tropical Atlantic must be taken into account when deploying MSP processes. In the tropical Atlantic context, there is increased imbalances of stakeholder power, traps from decision support tools, and a need for adaptive management. These specific features must be addressed when deploying MSP in a way to avoid ocean grabbing.
Opposite phenological responses of zooplankton to climate along a latitudinal gradient through the European Shelf

Published: January 2021

Abstract
Zooplankton phenological shifts may affect energy transfer through pelagic food web and up to fisheries, but few studies have compared zooplankton phenology across a wide latitudinal range of water temperatures. We examined the phenological variations of zooplankton at four sites along a latitudinal gradient from the Bay of Biscay [Bilbao and Urdaibai (BU)], the English Channel (Plymouth; L4), and the North Sea [Stonehaven (SH)] from 1999 to 2013. Zooplankton taxa showed interannual phenological variations that were opposite in direction between the southernmost BU and the northernmost SH sites. The East Atlantic pattern was the climate teleconnection best related to zooplankton phenological variations. Among local variables , salinity at BU was best related to phenological changes at BU as opposed to those at SH. Locally, chlorophyll a was most relevant at SH and temperature at L4. While we did see some imprints of temperature in causing expected directions of phenology shifts, i.e. towards earlier appearance of spring taxa and later appearance of autumn taxa in warm years, these patterns were by no means clear-cut. The dominant role of temperature in driving phenological variation suggested by some studies seems to be obscured by biotic and climatic controls acting differently along our environmental gradient.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES
The optimal surgical approach for metachronous second primary lung cancer (MSPLC), especially ipsilateral MSPLC, remains unclear. This study aimed to review postoperative complications and examine surgical outcomes based on the extent of resection after surgery for ipsilateral MSPLC.

METHODS
Clinical data from 61 consecutive patients who underwent pulmonary resection for ipsilateral MSPLC according to the Martini–Melamed criteria between January 2005 and December 2017 in 3 institutes were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS
Postoperative complications were identified in 12 patients (19.7%). Regarding the combination of initial and second surgery, intraoperative bleeding was significantly greater in patients with anatomic–anatomic resection than in others (P &lt; 0.001). Operation time was significantly longer in patients with anatomic–anatomic resection than in others (P &lt; 0.001). However, postoperative complications showed no significant differences based on the combination of surgeries. Five-year overall survival rates in patients with anatomic resection and wedge resection after second surgery were 75.8% and 75.8%, respectively (P = 0.738), and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 54.2% and 67.6%, respectively (P = 0.368). Cox multivariate analysis identified ever-smoker status (P = 0.029), poor performance status (P = 0.011) and tumour size &gt;20 mm (P = 0.001) as independent predictors of poor overall survival, while ever-smoker status (P = 0.040) and tumour size &gt;20 mm (P = 0.007) were considered independent predictors of poor recurrence-free survival.

CONCLUSIONS
Regarding postoperative and long-term outcomes for patients with ipsilateral MSPLC, surgical intervention is safe and offers good long-term survival. Wedge resection is an acceptable provided tumours ≤2 cm and ground-glass opacity-predominant as a second surgery for early-stage ipsilateral MSPLC.
Validation of I’screen AFLA M1 Milk for Detection of Aflatoxin M1 in Raw Bovine Milk and Powdered Milk: AOAC Performance Tested MethodSM 072002
Authors: Diana Francesca , Rosar Giulia , Bravin Francesca 
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Background
Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) is the major metabolite of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and can be found in the milk of animals fed with feed containing AFB1. The frequency of occurrence of AFM1 in milk has led to the development of specific quantitative methods of analysis to mitigate the risk of adversely affecting human health.

Objective
To demonstrate that the I’screen AFLA M1 Milk ELISA kit can quantify AFM1 in raw bovine milk and powdered milk.

Method
Assay performance was evaluated studying lot-to-lot consistency, assay stability, robustness, and possible interferences of related molecules. Raw bovine milk samples spiked at 0, 5.0, 20, 50, 100, and 200 ng/L of AFM1 and powdered milk reference materials and spiked samples at 100 and 200 ng/L were tested to determine recovery, repeatability, and bias. LOD and LOQ were also determined for both matrices.

Results
High selectivity for AFM1 was demonstrated and performances were consistent, robust, and stable. The LOQ was validated at 5 ng/L for raw milk and 50 ng/L for powdered milk. Recoveries for spiked raw and powdered milk were 97–122%, with RSDr &lt; 10%, and 106–111% for reference materials, with RSDr &lt; 5%.

Conclusions
The data collected validate the method as a selective, specific, sensitive, accurate, and precise tool for the analysis of AFM1 in raw bovine milk and powdered milk.

Highlights
We demonstrated that I’screen AFLA M1 is a reliable kit and a proper screening tool suitable for high analytical throughputs.
From merchant to elite artist and collector

Published: January 2021

Abstract
This paper reports the first academic research on the collection of Yan Xinhou (1838–1906), a prominent gentry–merchant from the second half of the nineteenth century. It presents the Yan collection, now housed at the Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University, and tells a fascinating story of the Yan family and how their collection came to the United States during the early twentieth century. More importantly, it provides a starting point for future explorations of the taste, collecting practices and social relations of the late Qing merchants. The collection contains thirty-two works of Ming and Qing dynasty painting and calligraphy, including calligraphy items by Zhang Ruitu (1570–1641), Jiang Chenying (1628–1699) and Qian Bojiong (1738–1812); paintings by Wang Shimin (1592–1680), Xiao Yuncong (1596–1673), Wang Wu (1632-1690), Ma Quan (active 1800s), Shangguan Zhou (1665–c.1749), Zheng Xie (1693–1765), Hua Yan (1682–1756), Xi Gang (1746–1803), Pan Simu (1756–after 1843), Zhao Wei (1746–1825), Qian Du (1764–1845), Gai Qi (1773–1828) and Wu Xizai (1799–1870).
Evaluation of image distortion in SEM by using a dot-array–based certified reference material
Authors: Kumagai Kazuhiro , Kurokawa Akira 
Published: January 2021

Abstract
This paper presents a quick and straightforward method to evaluate image distortion in scanning electron microscopy using a certified reference material (CRM) as a test specimen. The CRM has a square dot-array structure, whose dot-pitch has an accredited value. By calculating the distance between each dot of the CRM via image analysis, we can detect the distortion in the image as variations of dot interval. Furthermore, by considering the uncertainty of the certified value, it is possible to quantitatively evaluate the significance of the distortion in the image. This method enables us to easily estimate the uncertainty from image distortion, which can improve the reliability of measurement by scanning electron microscopy.
Performing Peace: Vernacular Reconciliation and the Diplomacy of Return in Cyprus
Authors: Bryant Rebecca , Hatay Mete 
Published: January 2021

AbstractThe Cyprus conflict is usually described as one between a majority Greek Cypriot and minority Turkish Cypriot population, with their opposing visions of the island’s future. In that conflict, more than 200,000 Cypriots from both these communities were displaced between 1958 and 1974. Lost in this standard narrative, however, are the conflict’s other ‘Others’: the smaller Maronite, Armenian, Latin, and Roma populations, who also experienced displacement in the course of the conflict. This paper concerns the Maronite community’s struggle to remain in or return to their historic lands in the island’s northwest. We examine the acts of everyday diplomacy that, over the past decade, have resulted in a revival of the largest Maronite village, a removal of restrictions on their rights, and most recently the partial withdrawal of the Turkish military from another Maronite village so that it may be reopened to settlement. We use these as instances of what we term ‘vernacular reconciliation’, ways of rebuilding coexistence that suspend questions of sovereignty that remain at the heart of the Cyprus impasse. We argue that this pragmatic approach calls on cultural knowledge of past patterns of coexistence through performances that in turn produce deeply felt senses of responsibility and patterns of reciprocity. Such patterns of reciprocity, we show, are reappropriated in the context of ongoing conflict.
Retrospective Review of a Novel Virtual Medical Soldier Readiness Processing Process in Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Ramirez Ariana , Owshalimpur David , Mount Cristin , Schofield Christina 
Published: January 2021

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Medical solider readiness processing (SRP) needed to continue during the COVID-19 pandemic. We developed a rapid practice improvement project to allow for a hybrid virtual medical SRP/in-person medical SRP to decrease exposure risk. A retrospective review comparing this virtual SRP to a historical in-person SRP cohort to the same combatant command was then performed.

Procedures
A virtual medical SRP was completed for 204 soldiers in preparation for deployment within 24 hours of receiving the deployment roster. Each soldier had their MEDPROS data sheet printed and reviewed for deficiencies. Soldiers were then divided into two groups. Group 1 required hybrid SRP with need for in-person labs or vaccinations. Group 2 had no deficiencies noted on MEDPROS review, and the entire medical SRP was done virtually. Pre-deployment health assessment (pre-DHA) was completed over the phone for both groups. The provider then determined whether the soldier was a GO or NO GO, and this information was passed to the unit’s medical staff. Comparative data analysis was performed using t-tests assuming unequal variances and chi-square tests.

Information Found
A total of 204 soldiers were expected to complete the virtual SRP process. Of those 204, 191 MEDPROS records were reviewed (93%). Seventy-seven of the 191 soldiers (40%) required level one labs and immunizations, had not completed their pre-DHA, or had a combination of these factors. One hundred and fourteen soldiers (60%) had these items completed and were given virtual appointments in GENESIS. One hundred and six of the 114 (95%) soldiers were able to complete their medical SRP virtually. Eighty-six soldiers (80%) of this cohort were a GO for deployment at the end of their virtual SRP visit.
The novel virtual SRP process was comparable to the historic in-person SRP as evidenced by no statistically significant difference in terms of the number of providers required and the number of soldiers that was seen by any one provider. The groups did show statistically significant differences based on age, gender, and GOs/NO GOs.

Conclusion
This is the first proof of concept of a virtual medical SRP on literature review. A virtual SRP process that combines a pre-visit record review with a virtual pre-DHA is a viable process for SRP. The ability to utilize providers outside of a confined location or post may allow for optimized utilization of this scarce resource and result in cost savings to the Army. The recreation of this virtual medical SRP within other Army installations may allow for the improvement and standardization of the medical SRP process as a whole.
