Authors: Xu Zhijin , Song Yankui 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Green design of industrial products is an important part of the core competitiveness of enterprises. On the basis of symbiosis theory, this paper analyzes systematically the evaluation index system and the corresponding evaluation method of green design of industrial products from the research perspective of symbiotic relationship among the factors of human-machine-environment-society system. The author holds that the symbiotic relationship among products, human, technology, resources, economy, society, environment and others, which are mutual coordination, mutual integration, mutual restriction and mutual benefit, is the fundamental analysis framework and research perspective of green design evaluation of industrial products. It is the premise and foundation in the research of green design evaluation and is of important strategic significance to determine the reasonable research perspective and analysis framework. From the perspective of symbiotic relationship, the green design evaluation is a problem of multi-factor, multi-level and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation. Its evaluation index system, composed of a relatively independent set of indicators, can describe and represent the attributes and their symbiotic relationship among technology, resources, economy, society and environment. It is reasonable, feasible and has special advantages to select and apply the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method in the green design evaluation.

Published: August 2019

Abstract
Large-scale crop planting uses transplanting machines to transplant seedlings. The planting mechanism of transplanting machines is the last step of the transplanting machine seedlings. In the production practice, the planting mechanism often causes the seedlings to be turned over and loging, which affects the survival rate of the crops. In response to this problem, the mathematical model of the planting mechanism which combined with the digital design method was established. SolidWorks2017 was used to design a rod-type plant with rapid return characteristics. The rationality of the planting mechanism was tested using ANSYS 17.0. A quick-return transplanter planting mechanism with reasonable motion characteristics and reliable work performance was obtained.

Published: August 2019

Abstract

Purpose
Inhaled epoprostenol and inhaled nitric oxide are pulmonary vasodilators commonly used in the management of acute respiratory distress syndrome and right ventricular failure; however, they have vastly different cost profiles. The purpose of the project was to transition from nitric oxide to epoprostenol as the inhaled pulmonary vasodilator (IPV) of choice in adult critically ill patients and evaluate the effect of the transition on associated usage and costs.

Methods
A single-center, prospective, before and after quality improvement project including adult patients receiving inhaled nitric oxide, inhaled epoprostenol, or both was conducted in 7 adult intensive care units, operating rooms, and postanesthesia care units of a tertiary care academic medical center. The total number of patients, hours of therapy, and costs for each agent were compared between stages of protocol implementation and annually.

Results
Seven hundred twenty-nine patients received inhaled nitric oxide, inhaled epoprostenol, or both during the study period. The monthly inhaled nitric oxide use in number of patients, hours, and cost decreased during all stages of the project (p < 0.01). The monthly inhaled epoprostenol use in number of patients, hours, and cost increased during all stages (p < 0.01). Overall, total IPV use increased during the study. However, despite this increase in usage, there was a 47% reduction in total IPV cost.

Conclusion
Implementation of a staged protocol to introduce and expand inhaled epoprostenol use in adult critically ill patients resulted in decreased use and cost of inhaled nitric oxide. The total cost of all IPV was decreased by 47% despite increased IPV use.
Topology-independent and global protein structure alignment through an FFT-based algorithm
Authors: Wen Zeyu , He Jiahua , Huang Sheng-You 
Published: August 2019

AbstractMotivationProtein structure alignment is one of the fundamental problems in computational structure biology. A variety of algorithms have been developed to address this important issue in the past decade. However, due to their heuristic nature, current structure alignment methods may suffer from suboptimal alignment and/or over-fragmentation and thus lead to a biologically wrong alignment in some cases. To overcome these limitations, we have developed an accurate topology-independent and global structure alignment method through an FFT-based exhaustive search algorithm, which is referred to as FTAlign.ResultsOur FTAlign algorithm was extensively tested on six commonly used datasets and compared with seven state-of-the-art structure alignment approaches, TMalign, DeepAlign, Kpax, 3DCOMB, MICAN, SPalignNS and CLICK. It was shown that FTAlign outperformed the other methods in reproducing manually curated alignments and obtained a high success rate of 96.7 and 90.0% on two gold-standard benchmarks, MALIDUP and MALISAM, respectively. Moreover, FTAlign also achieved the overall best performance in terms of biologically meaningful structure overlap (SO) and TMscore on both the sequential alignment test sets including MALIDUP, MALISAM and 64 difficult cases from HOMSTRAD, and the non-sequential sets including MALIDUP-NS, MALISAM-NS, 199 topology-different cases, where FTAlign especially showed more advantage for non-sequential alignment. Despite its global search feature, FTAlign is also computationally efficient and can normally complete a pairwise alignment within one second.Availability and implementationhttp://huanglab.phys.hust.edu.cn/ftalign/.

AbstractBackgroundMounting evidence suggests the addition of a β-lactam (BL) to daptomycin (DAP) results in synergistic in vitro activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and bolsters the innate immune response to infection. This study’s objective was to provide clinical translation to these experimental data and determine if DAP+BL combination therapy results in improved clinical outcomes compared with treatment with DAP alone in patients with MRSA bloodstream infections (BSIs).MethodsThis was a retrospective, comparative cohort study conducted at 2 academic medical centers between 2008 and 2018. Adults with MRSA BSI treated with DAP for ≥72 hours and initiated ≤5 days of culture collection were included. Patients who received a BL for ≥24 hours and initiated ≤24 hours of DAP comprised the DAP+BL group. The primary outcome was composite clinical failure (60-day all-cause mortality and/or 60-day recurrence). Analyses were adjusted for confounding using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW).ResultsA total of 229 patients were included (72 DAP+BL and 157 DAP). In unadjusted and IPTW-adjusted analyses, DAP+BL was associated with significantly reduced odds of clinical failure (odds ratio [OR], 0.362; 95% confidence interval [CI], .164–.801; adjusted OR, 0.386; 95% CI, .175–.853). Adjusted analyses restricted to prespecified subgroups based on infection complexity and baseline health status were consistent with the main analysis.ConclusionsThe addition of a BL to DAP was associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with MRSA BSI. This study provides support to ongoing and future studies evaluating the impact of combination therapy for invasive MRSA infections.Patients treated with daptomycin plus a β-lactam for MRSA bloodstream infection had lower odds of composite clinical failure defined as 60-day all-cause mortality and/or 60-day recurrence compared with patients treated with daptomycin monotherapy after adjusting for confounding variables using inverse probability of treatment weighting.
Exploring the Specificity, Synergy, and Durability of Auditory and Visual Computer Gameplay Transfer Effects in Healthy Older Adults
Authors: Faust Mark E , Multhaup Kristi S , Ong Michelle S , Demakis George J , Balz Kelly G 
Published: August 2019

Abstract

Objectives
To determine whether auditory and visual computer games yield transfer effects that (a) are modality-specific to verbal memory (auditory stimulus presentation) and visual-processing tests, (b) affect working memory and processing speed, (c) are synergistic for combined game-type play, and (d) are durable.

Method
A Pilot Study (N = 44) assessed visual transfer effects in a two-group pre–post design. The Main Study (N = 151) employed a 2 (visual games: yes, no) × 2 (auditory games: yes, no) × 3 (test session: pretest, post-test, follow-up) design, allowing different training groups to act as active controls for each other. Neuropsychological test scores were aggregated into verbal-memory (auditory presentation), visual-processing, working-memory, and processing-speed indexes.

Results
Visual-processing and working-memory pre–post-training change scores were differentially modulated across the four gameplay groups in the main sample, demonstrating transfer effects differing across both active- and passive-control groups. Visual training yielded modality-specific transfer effects in both samples, transfer to working memory in the main sample, and transfer to processing speed in the pilot sample. There were no comparable transfer effects for auditory training. Combined-visual-and-auditory training failed to yield synergistic effects or any significant transfer effects. Visual-processing transfer effects remained significant at follow-up.

Discussion
Visual and auditory games differentially modulated transfer effects. Domain-specific visual transfer effects were found at post-test and were durable at follow-up. Visual gameplay holds potential to ameliorate age-related cognitive decline in visual cognition.
Earthquake rupture characteristics along a developing transform boundary
Authors: Neely J S , Huang Y , Fan W 
Published: August 2019

SUMMARYThe 280-km-long San Cristobal Trough (SCT), created by the tearing of the Australia plate as it subducts under the Pacific Plate near the Solomon and Vanuatu subduction zones, has hosted strike-slip earthquake sequences in 1993 and 2015. Both sequences, which likely represent a complete seismic cycle, began along the oldest section of the SCT—the portion farthest from the tear that has experienced the most cumulative displacement—and migrated to the younger sections closer to the tear. The SCT's abundant seismicity allows us to study transform boundary development—a process rarely observed along a single fault system—through observations of earthquake rupture properties. Using the spectral ratio method based on empirical Green's functions (EGFs), we calculate the corner frequencies of three Mw ∼7 2015 earthquakes and colocated smaller earthquakes. We utilize two different spectral ratio stacking methods and fit both Brune and Boatwright models to the stacked spectral ratios. Regardless of stacking methods and spectral models, we find that the corner frequencies of the 2015 Mw ∼7 earthquakes decrease slightly with distance from the tear. Assuming a constant rupture velocity and an omega-square spectral model, this corner frequency decrease may be due to an increase in rupture length with distance from the tear. The spectrum of the 2015 earthquake farthest from the tear also deviates from the omega-square model, which may indicate rupture complexity. Stress drop estimates from the corner frequencies of the 2015 Mw ∼7 earthquakes range between 1 and 7 MPa, whereas stress drop estimates of their EGFs range from ∼0.05 to 10 MPa with most values between 0.1 and 1 MPa. Independent evidence from a second moments analysis of the 2015 earthquake sequence also indicates a possible increase in rupture length with distance from the tear, confirming the results from the spectral ratio analysis. We also observe an increase in normalized centroid time-delay values, a first-order proxy for rupture behaviour, with distance from the tear for the 2015 sequence. A similar trend for the 1993 sequence suggests that earthquake rupture varies systematically along the SCT. Since distance from the tear corresponds to cumulative fault displacement, these along-strike rupture variations may be due to a displacement-driven fault maturation process.
