Authors: Wang Xu , Xu Lei , Jiang Yun , Yin Zhouyang , Chan Christopher C. S. , Deng Chaoyong , Taylor Robert A. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Single-photon emitters (SPEs) are one of the key components in quantum information applications. The ideal SPEs emit a single photon or a photon-pair on demand, with high purity and distinguishability. SPEs can also be integrated in photonic circuits for scalable quantum communication and quantum computer systems. Quantum dots made from III–V compounds such as InGaAs or GaN have been found to be particularly attractive SPE sources due to their well studied optical performance and state of the art industrial flexibility in fabrication and integration. Here, we review the optical and optoelectronic properties and growth methods of general SPEs. Subsequently, a brief summary of the latest advantages in III–V compound SPEs and the research progress achieved in the past few years will be discussed. We finally describe frontier challenges and conclude with the latest SPE fabrication science and technology that can open new possibilities for quantum information applications.

Authors: Liu Qin , Yang Lianfa , Wei Jun , Guo Jian , He Yulin 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Due to the low price, the seamed tubes are used more and more widely in various industrial fields in recent years. The difference in material properties between the weld zone of the parent metal zone of the thin-walled seamed tubes, the deformation of the hydraulic bulging under the same conditions will also be different, thus resulting in an inconsistency in the overall bulging of the seamed tubes. In this paper, the hydraulic bulging experiment of the seamed tubes at low and medium velocity, and the shape deviation law of the seamed tubes at different velocity are obtained. In the first half of the bulging, the seamed tubes at the medium velocity drops faster than the low velocity shape deviation rate, and the medium velocity is closer to circle; in the second half of the bulging, the medium velocity is go up faster than the low velocity. The shape deviation rate is higher before the tubes are burst, but the medium velocity’s radial average bulge height is smaller than the low velocity.

Published: July 2019

Abstract
In order to solve the problem of weighting factor in the maintenance comprehensive weighted allocation model based on failure rate and design characteristics. Firstly, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is introduced. Secondly, the fuzzy judgment matrix is established by using the three-scale method and the weight is obtained. Then the binary fuzzy contrast is used to establish the relationship matrix of the influencing factors and the evaluation matrix is obtained. The weighting factor is calculated by the fuzzy transformation. When the failure rates vary widely, the allocation results will weak the design characteristics by relying on the failure rate. So the weighting factor should be modified to improve the rationality of the distribution result. Finally, take a machining center as an example to verify the maintenance distribution application.

Authors: Ma L , Huang J , Zhou M 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
DEHP (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) can cause negative impacts on human health, thus development of reliable analytical methods for the determination of PAEs is important.In this work, magnetic graphene oxide was synthesized and used as the sorbent for solid phase extraction of DEHP. Factors that influence the extraction efficiency of DEHP were studied. The optimum conditions, such as solution pH, extraction time, desorption time, and eluent type and volume were obtained. The analytical performance of the developed method was investigated, and it was found that the limit of detection (LOD) for DEHP was 0.35 μg/L and the related standard deviation (RSD) was 4.3 %. The proposed method was applied in the determination of DEHP in environmental water samples with recoveries of 91.6-106.5%.
The problem of measuring trait-preference correlations without disrupting them
Authors: Hosken David J , Wilson Alastair J 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
A key element at the heart of the Fisher–Lande–Kirkpatrick model of the sexual selection process is the genetic correlation between (male) trait and (female) preference. The strength of this association is critical in determining a population’s evolutionary trajectory, which is why estimating its magnitude is so important. In the Lande model, the trait-preference correlation is solely established and maintained by mate choice, and although it is unclear how exclusively mate choice does this in nature, the experimental designs typically employed to measure trait-preference genetic correlations could be systematically weakening estimates by not allowing free mate choice (similarly with husbandry practices). The precise impact of the problem is unknown, and possibly unknowable, but simple solutions can be applied to ensure the accuracy of trait-preference correlation estimates is maximized.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Summary
The identification of transmembrane helices in transmembrane proteins is crucial, not only to understand their mechanism of action but also to develop new therapies. While experimental data on the boundaries of membrane-embedded regions are sparse, this information is present in cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) density maps and it has not been utilized yet for determining membrane regions. We developed a computational pipeline, where the inputs of a cryo-EM map, the corresponding atomistic structure, and the potential bilayer orientation determined by TMDET algorithm of a given protein result in an output defining the residues assigned to the bulk water phase, lipid interface and the lipid hydrophobic core. Based on this method, we built a database involving published cryo-EM protein structures and a server to be able to compute this data for newly obtained structures.

MCMCtreeR: functions to prepare MCMCtree analyses and visualize posterior ages on trees
Authors: Puttick Mark N 
Published: July 2019

Abstract

Summary
The fossil record is incomplete, so molecular divergence time analysis is a crucial tool in estimating evolutionary timescales. MCMCtree contained in the PAML software provides Bayesian methods to estimate divergence times of genomic-sized sequences. Here, I present MCMCtreeR, a flexible R package to prepare time priors for MCMCtree analysis and plot time-scaled phylogenies. The package provides functions to refine parameters and visualize time-calibrated node prior distributions so that these priors accurately reflect confidence in known, usually fossil, time information. After the parameters have been chosen, the package produces output files ready for MCMCtree analysis. Following analysis, the package has tools to compare prior and posterior calibrated node age distributions and produce plots of the time-scaled phylogenies. The plotting functions allow for the inclusion of age uncertainty on time-scaled phylogenies, including the display of full posterior distributions on nodes. Options also allow for the inclusion of the geological timescale, and these plotting functions are applicable with posterior age estimates from any Bayesian divergence time estimation software.

Availability and implementation
MCMCtreeR is an R package available on CRAN (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=MCMCtreeR). MCMCtreeR depends on the R packages ape, sn and stats4.
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors for diabetic kidney disease: a primer for deprescribing
Authors: Li Jiahua , Fagbote Christopher O , Zhuo Min , Hawley Chelsea E , Paik Julie M 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a critical global public health problem associated with high morbidity and mortality, poorer quality of life and increased health care expenditures. CKD and its associated comorbidities are one of the most complex clinical constellations to manage. Treatments for CKD and its comorbidities lead to polypharmacy, which exponentiates the morbidity and mortality. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have shown remarkable benefits in cardiovascular and renal protection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The pleiotropic effects of SGLT2is beyond glycosuria suggest a promising role in reducing polypharmacy in diabetic CKD, but the potential adverse effects of SGLT2is should also be considered. In this review, we present a typical case of a patient with multiple comorbidities seen in a CKD clinic, highlighting the polypharmacy and complexity in the management of proteinuria, hyperkalemia, volume overload, hyperuricemia, hypoglycemia and obesity. We review the cardiovascular and renal protection effects of SGLT2is in the context of clinical trials and current guidelines. We then discuss the roles of SGLT2is in the management of associated comorbidities and review the adverse effects and controversies of SGLT2is. We conclude with a proposal for deprescribing principles when initiating SGLT2is in patients with diabetic CKD.
Server-Aided Revocable Predicate Encryption: Formalization and Lattice-Based Instantiation
Authors: Ling San , Nguyen Khoa , Wang Huaxiong , Zhang Juanyang 
Published: July 2019

AbstractEfficient user revocation is a necessary but challenging problem in many multi-user cryptosystems. Among known approaches, server-aided revocation yields a promising solution, because it allows to outsource the major workloads of system users to a computationally powerful third party, called the server, whose only requirement is to carry out the computations correctly. Such a revocation mechanism was considered in the settings of identity-based encryption and attribute-based encryption by Qin et al. (2015, ESORICS) and Cui et al. (2016, ESORICS ), respectively. In this work, we consider the server-aided revocation mechanism in the more elaborate setting of predicate encryption (PE). The latter, introduced by Katz et al. (2008, EUROCRYPT), provides fine-grained and role-based access to encrypted data and can be viewed as a generalization of identity-based and attribute-based encryption. Our contribution is 2-fold. First, we formalize the model of server-aided revocable PE (SR-PE), with rigorous definitions and security notions. Our model can be seen as a non-trivial adaptation of Cui et al.’s work into the PE context. Second, we put forward a lattice-based instantiation of SR-PE. The scheme employs the PE scheme of Agrawal et al. (2011, ASIACRYPT) and the complete subtree method of Naor et al. (2001, CRYPTO) as the two main ingredients, which work smoothly together thanks to a few additional techniques. Our scheme is proven secure in the standard model (in a selective manner), based on the hardness of the learning with errors problem.

AbstractOBJECTIVES:Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) in patients with non-ischaemic dilative cardiomyopathy (DCM) is associated with heart failure and poor outcome. Aggressively undersized annuloplasty as an annular solution for a ventricular problem ameliorates heart failure but may be associated with recurrent FMR and does not improve survival. We sought to analyse if moderately undersized annuloplasty with repositioning of both papillary muscles can lead to improved valve stability and outcome in patients with DCM and FMR.METHODS:In 66 patients with DCM-associated FMR (age 66 ± 12 years, ejection fraction 29 ± 6% and mean pulmonary artery pressure 35 ± 11 mmHg) and severe leaflet tethering (tenting height ≥10 mm) bilateral papillary muscle repositioning was added to moderately undersized ring annuloplasty (median size 30 mm). Concomitant surgery included tricuspid valve repair in 86% of patients and atrial ablation in 44%.RESULTS:The early mortality rate was 9%. Overall 5-year freedom from all-cause death, left ventricular assist device implantation or heart transplant was 58% (95% confidence interval 45–71%). Six patients underwent reoperation (redo repair n = 4). Reverse remodelling was observed during follow-up in 66% of patients with decreasing left ventricular end-diastolic diameters (66 ± 5 to 61 ± 12 mm; P < 0.001) and left ventricular end-systolic diameters (56 ± 9 to 51 ± 14 mm; P = 0.001). Subgroup analyses (partial versus complete ring, preoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameters <65 mm vs left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ≥65 mm) documented similar survival rates. A competing risks regression analysis identified cerebral vascular disease (P = 0.01), use of a partial ring (P = 0.03) and absence of tricuspid valve repair (P = 0.03) as independent predictors of death.CONCLUSIONS:The combination of bilateral papillary muscle repositioning and moderately undersized ring annuloplasty leads to stable mid-term repair results and reverse remodelling in patients with DCM and FMR and severe leaflet tethering.
Additional frozen elephant trunk as a bailout for a misdeployed frozen elephant trunk in the false lumen in a patient with acute aortic dissection
Authors: Tamai Koichi , Hori Daijiro , Yuri Koichi , Yamaguchi Atsushi 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
Using a frozen elephant trunk (FET) in patients with acute aortic dissection is an effective method to induce aortic remodelling after surgery. A 40-year-old man with Stanford type A acute aortic dissection underwent emergency total arch replacement with FET. The FET was inserted into the descending aorta under direct vision. However, transoesophageal echocardiography after the deployment of the FET revealed that it was misdeployed in the false lumen. An additional FET was deployed in the true lumen to redirect the blood flow to the true lumen. The patient was discharged from the hospital without any major complications. Computed tomography 6 months after surgery revealed enhanced aortic remodelling without any signs of stent graft-induced new entry. Additional deployment of a FET into the true lumen could be an option for a misdeployed FET in the false lumen.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Aims
To describe aetiologies and temporal trends in young patients with atrioventricular block (AVB).

Methods and results
We identified all patients in Denmark, receiving their first pacemaker because of AVB before the age of 50 years between 1996 and 2015. Medical records were reviewed and clinical information and diagnostic work-up results were obtained to evaluate the aetiology. We used Poisson regression testing for temporal trends. One thousand and twenty-seven patients were identified, median age at time of implantation was 38 (interquartile range 25–45) years, 584 (56.9%) were male. The aetiologies were complications to cardiac surgery [n = 157 (15.3%)], congenital AVB [n = 93 (9.0%)], cardioinhibitory reflex [n = 52 (5.0%)], congenital heart disease [n = 43 (4.2%)], complication to radiofrequency ablation [n = 35 (3.4%)], cardiomyopathy [n = 31 (3.0%)], endocarditis [n = 18 (1.7%)], muscular dystrophy [n = 14 (1.4%)], ischaemic heart disease [n = 14 (1.4%)], sarcoidosis [n = 11 (1.1%)], borreliosis [n = 9 (0.9%)], hereditary [n = 6 (0.6%)], side-effect to antiarrhythmics [n = 6 (0.6%)], planned His-ablation [n = 5 (0.5%)], complication to alcohol septal ablation [n = 5 (0.5%)], and other known aetiologies [n = 11 (1.1%)]. The aetiology remained unknown in 517 (50.3%) cases. While the number of patients with unknown aetiology increased during the study period (P < 0.001), we observed no significant change in the number of patients with identified aetiology (P = 0.35).

Conclusion
In a nationwide cohort, the aetiology of AVB was identified in only half the patients younger than 50 years referred for first-time pacemaker implantation. The number of patients with unknown aetiology increased during the study period. These findings indicate need for better insight into aetiologies of AVB and improved diagnostic work-up guidelines.

Published: July 2019

Abstract

Background
Scientists have amassed a wealth of microbiome datasets, making it possible to study microbes in biotic and abiotic systems on a population or planetary scale; however, this potential has not been fully realized given that the tools, datasets, and computation are available in diverse repositories and locations. To address this challenge, we developed iMicrobe.us, a community-driven microbiome data marketplace and tool exchange for users to integrate their own data and tools with those from the broader community.

Findings
The iMicrobe platform brings together analysis tools and microbiome datasets by leveraging National Science Foundation–supported cyberinfrastructure and computing resources from CyVerse, Agave, and XSEDE. The primary purpose of iMicrobe is to provide users with a freely available, web-based platform to (1) maintain and share project data, metadata, and analysis products, (2) search for related public datasets, and (3) use and publish bioinformatics tools that run on highly scalable computing resources. Analysis tools are implemented in containers that encapsulate complex software dependencies and run on freely available XSEDE resources via the Agave API, which can retrieve datasets from the CyVerse Data Store or any web-accessible location (e.g., FTP, HTTP).

Conclusions
iMicrobe promotes data integration, sharing, and community-driven tool development by making open source data and tools accessible to the research community in a web-based platform.
