Do positive reviews of a previous‐generation product benefit a next‐generation product?
Authors: Shi Yan , Zou Bo , Yao Xiao‐xu , Li Chun‐hong 
Published: July 2021

AbstractDrawing on consumer inferences theory, our research examines the spillover effects of positive reviews from a multi‐generation product perspective and mainly explores the moderating role of time interval and price growth rate. The results show the spillover effects of positive reviews would be affected or even changed by entering timing and prices of new products. We find that the number of a previous‐generation product's positive reviews has an inverted U‐shaped relation with sales performance of a next‐generation product when the time interval between the two generational products is short. Further, we reveal that this relation is positive when the time interval between the two generations is long. Moreover, the positive influence of the number of a previous‐generation product's positive reviews on the sales performance of a next‐generation product will be weaker as the price growth rate of a next‐generation product rises. We test our hypotheses using online sales data of the Chinese mobile market. Our empirical analysis contributes to the research of multi‐generational products and online reviews, and enriches the consumer inferences theory.

BackgroundUS population‐based cancer registries can be used for surveillance of human papillomavirus (HPV) types found in HPV‐associated cancers. Using this framework, HPV prevalence among high‐grade cervical precancers and invasive cervical cancers were compared before and after HPV vaccine availability.MethodsArchived tissue from 2 studies of cervical precancers and invasive cervical cancers diagnosed from 1993‐2005 (prevaccine) were identified from 7 central cancer registries in Florida; Hawaii; Iowa; Kentucky; Louisiana; Los Angeles County, California; and Michigan; from 2014 through 2015 (postvaccine) cases were identified from 3 registries in Iowa, Kentucky, and Louisiana. HPV testing was performed using L1 consensus polymerase chain reaction analysis. HPV‐type–specific prevalence was examined grouped by hierarchical attribution to vaccine types: HPV 16, 18, HPV 31, 33, 45, 52, 58, other oncogenic HPV types, and other types/HPV negative. Generalized logit models were used to compare HPV prevalence in the prevaccine study to the postvaccine study by patient age, adjusting for sampling factors.ResultsA total of 676 precancers (328 prevaccine and 348 postvaccine) and 1140 invasive cervical cancers (777 prevaccine and 363 postvaccine) were typed. No differences were observed in HPV‐type prevalence by patient age between the 2 studies among precancers or invasive cancers.ConclusionsThe lack of reduction in vaccine‐type prevalence between the 2 studies is likely explained by the low number of cases and low HPV vaccination coverage among women in the postvaccine study. Monitoring HPV‐type prevalence through population‐based strategies will continue to be important in evaluating the impact of the HPV vaccine.

BackgroundIt is critical patients understand the terms used to describe oncology treatments; however, even basic chemotherapy terminology can be misunderstood. Rural communities tend to have especially low levels of health literacy compared with nonrural communities. To address low health literacy in rural communities, this study tested rural participants' understanding of previously developed educational chemotherapy videos that were designed for an underserved urban population. Participants were also asked for feedback to determine if the videos could be improved.MethodsFifty English‐speaking patients who reside in counties classified as rural according to the Rural‐Urban Continuum Code designations (RUCC 4‐9) participated in the study. Participants were asked to define 6 chemotherapy terms before and after viewing a short, animated video explaining the term in English. Rates of correct and incorrect definitions provided by participants were also compared with previously published results from an urban cohort.ResultsAll participants had statistically significantly higher rates of correct definitions for all 6 terms following the video intervention. Palliative chemotherapy understanding improved the most (10% correct prevideo and 76% postvideo intervention). For each video, the majority of participants (77%‐92%) suggested no changes to the videos.ConclusionGiven the prevalence of low health literacy in rural communities, it is important to have effective educational interventions to improve the understanding of basic oncology‐treatment terminology. This study found that short, educational videos, originally designed for an underserved urban population, can significantly improve understanding of commonly misunderstood chemotherapy terminology in a rural setting as well.Lay Summary

Chemotherapy terminology can be confusing to patients. Understanding can be especially difficult in areas with low health literacy, such as underserved urban and rural communities.

To address this concern, previously developed short, animated videos describing basic chemotherapy terminology were found to improve patient understanding in an underserved urban setting.

In this study, the videos were tested in a rural population and their effectiveness was established. Participants in the rural setting were significantly more likely to correctly define all 6 tested terms after watching the videos.

Educational tools for high‐need populations are essential to ensure patients can understand the treatment they receive.
QRDF: An efficient RDF graph processing system for fast query
Authors: Jia Menghan , Zhang Yiming , Li Dongsheng 
Published: July 2021

AbstractWith the rapid growth of RDF (resource description framework) data volume, it is challenging to answer queries over dynamic RDF graphs of which the data frequently changes (by insertion/deletion) over time. This article presents QRDF, an efficient RDF graph processing system that supports not only efficient storage but also fast query of dynamic RDF graphs. QRDF (i) adopts a red‐black (RB) tree for quick RDF data insertion/deletion and (ii) asynchronously moves data from the RB tree into a vector for efficient RDF query. QRDF performs early pruning on its index structure for various RDF query patterns. Experimental results show that the query performance of QRDF over RDF graphs is about 2x higher than that of the state‐of‐the‐art RDF processing systems.

Published: July 2021

AbstractTriple DES (3DES) is a NIST and ISO/IEC standard block cipher that is also used in some web browsers and several electronic payment applications. We propose an optimized bit‐level parallelization of 3DES for GPU accelerated encryption to allow processing high volumes of data. Since the block size of 3DES is 64 bits, our approach considers a kernel block as a 64‐bit 3DES block. Each kernel block performs XOR, permutation, and S‐box operations of this cipher in parallel and memory accesses are optimized by the use of constant and shared memory. Although table based and bitsliced implementations of block ciphers on GPUs outperform naive implementations, their performance vary significantly on different GPU models and architectures. Lack of publicly available source codes prohibit a fair comparison of the performance results for different implementations. In this work, we provide performance results on various GPU models and make our implementation publicly available for reproducibility and further comparisons. When compared against the baseline multi‐threaded CPU implementation, our optimization achieves an average of 15.95 speed‐up when encrypting large files using an RTX 2070 Super GPU. Moreover, when modified into a key search attack, more than 94.4 million 3DES key searches per second can be conducted on an RTX 2070 Super GPU.

Published: July 2021

AbstractThe cardiomyocyte is the main cell type in the heart responsible for its contractile function. Culturing primary cardiomyocytes from mammalian sources to study their function remains challenging as they are terminally differentiated and cease to multiply soon after birth. The major technical hurdles associated with primary cardiomyocyte culture include attaining high yields, obtaining healthy/viable cells that show spontaneous contractions upon culture, and avoiding contamination by non‐myocyte cardiac cell types such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The yield and the quality of the cardiomyocytes obtained are impacted by a variety of factors, such as the purity of the reagents, composition of the digestion mixture, the digestion conditions, and the temperature of the tissue during different steps of isolation. Here, we provide a simplified workflow to isolate, culture, and maintain neonatal primary cardiomyocytes from rats/mice in culture dishes, which can then be used to study, for instance, cardiac hypertrophy and drug‐induced cardiotoxicity. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Basic Protocol: Isolation and culture of primary cardiomyocytes from rat/mouse pupsSupport Protocol: Coating of tissue culture plates with extracellular matrix substrates for efficient cardiomyocyte attachment
Short‐term effects of alternative cultivation practices on putting green infiltration rates

Published: July 2021

AbstractCore aerification iscommonly used to manage organic matter and improve soil physical conditions of putting greens. Most methods of core aerification are labor intensive and temporarily reduce the playability of greens. Less invasive cultivation techniques are available, but their specific effects on playability and drainage properties of greens are often less understood. The objective of this study was to assess the short‐term effects of air‐injection cultivation (AIC), sand‐injection cultivation (SIC), and hollow‐tine cultivation (HTC) on playability characteristics and soil physical properties of putting greens. A field study was conducted at the Oklahoma State University Turfgrass Research Center in Stillwater, OK, on a creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stoloniferaL. ‘Penncross’) green from September 2017 to September 2019. Cultivation type and timing of application were arranged in a split‐plot design with four replications. Cultivation type was defined as either AIC, SIC, or HTC, and each was applied in spring, summer, and fall. Compared with the control, HTC reduced surface firmness by 5% at 28 d after cultivation event (DACE), increased infiltration by 87% at 28 DACE, reduced ball roll distance by 6% up to 14 DACE, and reduced normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) by 10% up to 14 DACE. Neither AIC nor SIC had a detectable effect on measured variables. Results suggest a single application of AIC or SIC has minimal short‐term effects on soil physical properties or surface playability of putting greens.
Sustainable disclosure versus ESG intensity: Is there a cross effect between holding and SRI funds?
Authors: D'Apice Vincenzo , Ferri Giovanni , Intonti Mariantonietta 
Published: July 2021

AbstractSustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) funds – the largest component of the fast‐expanding sustainable financial investment industry – apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) analyses to manage their investment portfolios and are particularly demanding in terms of issuers' disclosure. In this paper we take a step forward and ask whether adopting high‐quality sustainability disclosure is important also for SRI funds' holding companies. Specifically, we introduce a novel metrics on the extent of holding companies' sustainability disclosure based on the quality of their Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) reporting. In parallel, we use a standard approach to measure a fund's ESG intensity, that is, the weighted ESG average of a fund's investments. Indeed, we find that an SRI fund's ESG intensity systematically improves when the associated holding company improves its GRI sustainability disclosure. Moreover, we show that this positive effect of holdings' disclosure on a fund's ESG intensity is larger in jurisdictions with less stringent regulation on disclosure, where the signaling value of GRI disclosure is supposedly heightened. Our results do not seem to be driven by endogeneity between a fund's ESG intensity and its holding company's GRI reporting. First, a fund's ESG investment policy and its holding company's sustainability disclosure policy lie on separate decision ladders. Second, we show that the two variables are empirically uncorrelated. Third, our results prove resilient to a battery of robustness checks. The implication of our finding is that holding companies' sustainability disclosure engagement can reap a benefit for their managed SRI funds – provided ESG ratings are reliable –, whose enhanced credibility might prove a key competitive factor.
Recent Advances in Waste Plastic Transformation into Valuable Platinum‐Group Metal‐Free Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Authors: Muhyuddin Mohsin , Mustarelli Piercarlo , Santoro Carlo 
Published: July 2021

AbstractPlastic waste causes severe environmental hazards, owing to inadequate disposal and limited recycling. Under the framework of circular economy, there are urgent demands to valorize plastic waste more safely and sustainably. Therefore, much scientific interest has been witnessed recently in plastic waste‐derived electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), where the plastic waste acts as a cost‐effective and easily available precursor for the carbon backbone. The ORR is not only a key efficiency indicator for fuel cells and metal–air batteries but also a major obstacle for their commercial realization. The applicability of the aforementioned electrochemical devices is limited, owing to sluggish ORR activity and expensive platinum‐group metal electrocatalysts. However, waste‐derived ORR electrocatalysts are emerging as a potential substitute that could be inexpensively fabricated upon the conversion of plastic waste into active materials containing earth‐abundant transition metals. In this Minireview, very recent research developments regarding plastic waste‐derived ORR electrocatalysts are critically summarized with a prime focus on the followed synthesis routes, physicochemical properties of the derived electrocatalysts, and their ultimate electrochemical performance. Finally, the prospects for the future development of plastic waste‐derived electrocatalysts are discussed.

AbstractObjectiveOffspring born to mothers with asthma in pregnancy are known to have lower lung function which tracks with age. Human group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) accumulate in foetal lungs, at 10‐fold higher levels compared to adult lungs. However, there are no data on foetal ILC2 numbers and the association with respiratory health outcomes such as lung function in early life. We aimed to investigate cord blood immune cell populations from babies born to mothers with asthma in pregnancy.MethodsCord blood from babies born to asthmatic mothers was collected, and cells were stained in whole cord blood. Analyses were done using traditional gating approaches and computational methodologies (t‐distributed stochastic neighbour embedding and PhenoGraph algorithms). At 6 weeks of age, the time to peak tidal expiratory flow as a percentage of total expiratory flow time (tPTEF/tE%) was determined as well as Lung Clearance Index (LCI), during quiet natural sleep.ResultsOf 110 eligible infants (March 2017 to November 2019), 91 were successfully immunophenotyped (82.7%). Lung function was attempted in 61 infants (67.0%), and 43 of those infants (70.5% of attempted) had technically acceptable tPTEF/tE% measurements. Thirty‐four infants (55.7% of attempted) had acceptable LCI measurements. Foetal ILC2 numbers with increased expression of chemoattractant receptor‐homologous molecule (CRTh2), characterised by two distinct analysis methodologies, were associated with poorer infant lung function at 6 weeks of age.”ConclusionFoetal immune responses may be a surrogate variable for or directly influence lung function outcomes in early life.

Published: July 2021

AbstractIntroductionThe International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (ISRSFC) was proposed by the International Academy of Cytology and the American Society of Cytopathology.Aim of the studyWe have applied this system for reporting of pleural effusion cytology and report our experience.Materials and MethodsAll the pleural effusions from January 2019 to June 2020 were retrieved from the database. All these cases were reviewed and recategorized according to the proposed system of 5 categories: non‐diagnostic (ND), negative for malignancy (NFM), atypia of uncertain significance (AUS), suspicious for malignancy (SFM), and malignant (MAL). The risk of malignancy (ROM) for each category was evaluated.ResultsA total of 939 cases were studied. The age of patients ranged from 2 to 88 years, and the volume of fluid ranged from 1 to 600 ml. There were 41 ND (4.37%), 697 NFM (74.23%), 44 AUS (4.69%), 27 SFM (2.88%), and 130 MAL (13.84%) cases. The ROM for the categories were found to be 87.5%, 51.61%, 88.23%, 87.5%, and 100% respectively.ConclusionsThe ISRSFC is a user‐friendly system for use in reporting of pleural fluid. The criteria for defining the various categories need to be further elaborative and stricter for this system to be more effective. More studies are required for the estimation of the ROM for each category.
