Abstract
The discovery of a kilonova (KN) associated with the Advanced LIGO (aLIGO)/Virgo event GW170817 opens up new avenues of multi-messenger astrophysics. Here, using realistic simulations, we provide estimates of the number of KNe that could be found in data from past, present, and future surveys without a gravitational-wave trigger. For the simulation, we construct a spectral time-series model based on the DES-GW multi-band light curve from the single known KN event, and we use an average of BNS rates from past studies of

, consistent with the one event found so far. Examining past and current data sets from transient surveys, the number of KNe we expect to find for ASAS-SN, SDSS, PS1, SNLS, DES, and SMT is between 0 and 0.3. We predict the number of detections per future survey to be 8.3 from ATLAS, 10.6 from ZTF, 5.5/69 from LSST (the Deep Drilling/Wide Fast Deep), and 16.0 from WFIRST. The maximum redshift of KNe discovered for each survey is

for WFIRST,

for LSST, and

for ZTF and ATLAS. This maximum redshift for WFIRST is well beyond the sensitivity of aLIGO and some future GW missions. For the LSST survey, we also provide contamination estimates from Type Ia and core-collapse supernovae: after light curve and template-matching requirements, we estimate a background of just two events. More broadly, we stress that future transient surveys should consider how to optimize their search strategies to improve their detection efficiency and to consider similar analyses for GW follow-up programs.
Le mécénat culturel d’entreprise dans la France des années 1980-1990 : une affaire d’État
Authors: Rozier Sabine 
Published: December 2017

Le mécénat est souvent associé à l’expression du libre choix d’individus mettant une partie de leur fortune au service des arts et de la culture. L’article analyse les conditions ayant favorisé des alliances entre de grandes entreprises et des acteurs artistiques et culturels dans la France des années 1980-1990, et montre que ce « mécénat » a surtout été conçu comme un apport complémentaire aux crédits publics. Il souligne le rôle décisif joué par l’administration culturelle étatique française, qui a ardemment travaillé à enrôler les entreprises mécènes au service du financement de ses propres institutions.

Background & objectives:
Outbreaks of infection due to Salmonella enterica servovar Typhi (S. Typhi) are a great threat to public health. A rapid molecular typing method to characterize strains implicated in an outbreak is critical in implementing appropriate control measures. This study was done to demonstrate the power of a PCR-based method to provide rapid insights into the genetic relatedness amongst the Salmonella isolates implicated in a suspected typhoid fever outbreak.

Methods:
Forty two S. Typhi isolates originating from three geographically distinct areas, with one area suspected to have a single-source outbreak were included in the study. The genetic fingerprint of all isolates was generated using enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence based-PCR (ERIC-PCR). The antimicrobial susceptibility profiles were also evaluated.

Results:
ERIC-PCR was found to be rapid and reproducible with a discriminatory index of 0.766. The dendrogram constructed based on ERIC-PCR fingerprinting revealed the existence of 12 distinct genotypes. The location suspected to have an outbreak displayed two genotypes amongst the 24 isolates. The other two locations (18 isolates) displayed genetic heterogeneity. The clonality of the outbreak isolates from the time-matched control isolates was established. The observed antimicrobial susceptibility profiles did not have any discriminatory power to subtype the isolates compared to the genetic fingerprints.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Our study demonstrated the discriminatory power and value of ERIC-PCR in the typing of S. Typhi isolates and providing valuable epidemiological insights.

Access to Optimal Treatment in Head and Neck Cancer: A Patient Perspective
Authors: Curtis Chris 
Published: December 2017

Introduction Head and neck cancer is a life-changing disease affecting all aspects in the life of a patient; eating, swallowing, talking, and socializing become very hard to deal with and comprehensive support is essential, regardless of the person's gender, age, social status, or background. The aim of this article is to describe the journey of a patient from a clinical and personal perspective, while discussing the importance of timely access to the most appropriate treatment based on outcome and on the patient's quality of life. Case presentation The journey of a head and neck cancer patient is illustrated from his own perspective. The clinical case also highlights a few key issues on medicine access. First, it has been a long time since any new treatment or drugs have been available to treat head and neck cancer patients, although the scenario might change drastically due to the introduction of immunotherapy. Second, it is unusual that even the most caring health care professional would consider a treatment that is not licensed in their country, even if it would have made a significantly positive difference to the patient's quality of life. Conclusions The increasing patient and health care professional's awareness of a solution to their problem with the use of unlicensed treatment, and the decreasing burden linked to identifying and sourcing unlicensed treatment, should help to optimize the management of these patients and significantly impact the outcome and their quality of life.

The domestication of planning ideas – the case of Shared Space
Authors: Peters Sebastian 
Published: December 2017

New planning ideas of diverse types, ranging from new design concepts to large-scale development policies, are inherently challenging because they involve changes to prevailing thought and practice. As they are passed on, though, they are subjected to translation, adjusting them to discourses prevailing in different contexts, and often resulting in conceptual distortion. This article seeks to contribute to the theorization of the translation of planning ideas, by proposing the concept of domestication as a means of understanding such distortion. An analysis of one such challenging idea - Shared Space - serves to illustrate this concept and assess its usefulness.

Moreover, all threeCypripediumspecies could inhabit Cordillera Neovolcánica according to the obtained models; however, it should be noticed that this region is well-distanced from the edges of the known geographical range ofC. molle.
An efficiency approach for RBAC reconfiguration with minimal roles and perturbation
Authors: Pan Ning , Zhu Zhiqiang , He Liangsheng , Sun Lei 
Published: December 2017

SummaryRole‐based access control (RBAC) has been widely used based on its good applicability and high flexibility in recent years. However, the RBAC system needs to be updated to meet the changes in access control policies during its run time. As the complexity of modifying role‐permission assignments, new roles are continuously added to the system without considering the business processes and the user demands. Therefore, the RBAC system needs to be reconfigured over time to optimize the RBAC configuration and keep as close as possible to the original at the same time. Although there have several RBAC reconfiguration schemes by generating roles that are similar to the deployed ones, most of them neglect the difference between roles (meaningful or meaningless, frequently used, or infrequently used, etc) and generate more roles than needed, which in turn increases the system management burden. In this paper, we first propose a method to evaluate the quality of roles based on two indicators and formally define the problem of RBAC reconfiguration with minimal roles and perturbation. Then, we present a log‐based RBAC reconfiguration approach that handles the motivation problem and its detail algorithm process. The effectiveness and stability of our approach is demonstrated by experiments at last.
Data‐driven pedestrian re‐identification based on hierarchical semantic representation

Published: December 2017

SummaryLimited number of labeled data of surveillance video causes the training of supervised model for pedestrian re‐identification to be a difficult task. Besides, applications of pedestrian re‐identification in pedestrian retrieving and criminal tracking are limited because of the lack of semantic representation. In this paper, a data‐driven pedestrian re‐identification model based on hierarchical semantic representation is proposed, extracting essential features with unsupervised deep learning model and enhancing the semantic representation of features with hierarchical mid‐level ‘attributes’. Firstly, CNNs, well‐trained with the training process of CAEs, is used to extract features of horizontal blocks segmented from unlabeled pedestrian images. Then, these features are input into corresponding attribute classifiers to judge whether the pedestrian has the attributes. Lastly, with a table of ‘attributes‐classes mapping relations’, final result can be calculated. Under the premise of improving the accuracy of attribute classifier, our qualitative results show its clear advantages over the CHUK02, VIPeR, and i‐LIDS data set. Our proposed method is proved to effectively solve the problem of dependency on labeled data and lack of semantic expression, and it also significantly outperforms the state‐of‐the‐art in terms of accuracy and semanteme.
When to conduct an isotopic survey for lake water balance evaluation in highly seasonal climates
Authors: Cui Jiangpeng , Tian Lide , Gibson John J. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractOne‐time or short‐term lake water isotopic surveys are often employed to evaluate regional lake water balance. However, it can be difficult to determine the optimal time‐window for sampling to obtain a representative long‐term perspective of lake water balance in settings influenced by seasonal variations in precipitation, evaporative loss, glacial/snow meltwater, and larger seasonal shifts in isotopic composition of precipitation. This is especially true for areas of the Tibetan Plateau that are influenced by the summer Indian monsoon. Although high‐frequency sampling is always preferred as the most rigorous approach to characterize the water budget of lakes or watersheds, this may be impractical in remote regions and over large spatial scales. To assess the potential sensitivity of isotope balance characterization to seasonal variability, we used a weekly lake water isotope data set acquired over a period of 3 years on the Tibetan Plateau to evaluate the potential inaccuracies that might have arisen from using isotopic data collected during narrower time‐windows. For this assessment, we use weekly isotopic data collected during the study and assume that these sampling events were stand‐alone one‐time surveys. We then demonstrate the sensitivity of the isotope balance method in this setting, particularly for the rainy season that significantly underestimated the evaporation/inflow. In contrast, isotopic composition of the lake water was found to be more representative of long‐term conditions when sampled in October on the Tibetan Plateau. To broaden our evaluation of seasonality effects over a range of climatic zones, published high‐frequency isotopic data were also compiled, and a similar assessment was carried out for selected regions of the world. The synthesized data and model outputs, which confirm pronounced variations in lake water isotopic composition and evaporation/inflow across a range of seasonal climates, were used to determine optimal sampling windows for these specific regions.
The impact of climate change on extreme precipitation in Sicily, Italy

Published: December 2017

AbstractIncreasing precipitation extremes are one of the possible consequences of a warmer climate. These may exceed the capacity of urban drainage systems, and thus impact the urban environment. Because short‐duration precipitation events are primarily responsible for flooding in urban systems, it is important to assess the response of extreme precipitation at hourly (or sub‐hourly) scales to a warming climate. This study aims to evaluate the projected changes in extreme rainfall events across the region of Sicily (Italy) and, for two urban areas, to assess possible changes in Depth‐Duration‐Frequency (DDF) curves. We used Regional Climate Model outputs from Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiment for Europe area ensemble simulations at a ~12 km spatial resolution, for the current period and 2 future horizons under the Representative Concentration Pathways 8.5 scenario. Extreme events at the daily scale were first investigated by comparing the quantiles estimated from rain gauge observations and Regional Climate Model outputs. Second, we implemented a temporal downscaling approach to estimate rainfall for sub‐daily durations from the modelled daily precipitation, and, lastly, we analysed future projections at daily and sub‐daily scales. A frequency distribution was fitted to annual maxima time series for the sub‐daily durations to derive the DDF curves for 2 future time horizons and the 2 urban areas. The overall results showed a raising of the growth curves for the future horizons, indicating an increase in the intensity of extreme precipitation, especially for the shortest durations. The DDF curves highlight a general increase of extreme quantiles for the 2 urban areas, thus underlining the risk of failure of the existing urban drainage systems under more severe events.
Uterine artery Doppler: Changing Concepts in Prediction and Prevention of PE and FGR

Published: December 2017

AbstractOne of the most promising screening tools in detection of PE and FGR is uterine artery Doppler velocimetry. The underlying pathology for the development of PE is thought to be due to defective trophoblastic invasion of uterine spiral arteries. Increased impedance during mid-trimester is known to be associated with a high incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. High resistance in uterine arteries can be observed as early in the first trimester in cases with impaired placentation. The predictive efficacy of first trimester UtA Doppler has improved after the development of risk specific algorithm by including maternal characteristics, biophysical and biochemical parameters. With the understanding of late onset FGR and PE, it was realised that first trimester UtA Doppler may not serve as an efficient marker to identify this group which led to the evolution of its assessment in third trimester. The importance of UtA Doppler in third trimester is its ability to differentiate a physiologically small baby from a pathologically small fetus, which is growth restricted. PE and FGR remains an important cause of maternal and fetal mortality and its prediction is a challenging task which needs to be done early in gestation. Low dose aspirin when started before 16 weeks in the truly high risk population has proven to significantly reduce PE and FGR. To initiate aspirin therapy, the development of first trimester risk prediction model remains the key component. This paper is a review of the predictive efficacy of UtA Doppler in detecting uteroplacental insufficiency in each of the three trimesters.
Resistance, Evasion, and Inequality: Legal Consciousness of Intellectual Property Laws in Two Chinese Markets
Authors: SU Lillian Hsiao-Ling 
Published: December 2017

AbstractHow does an intellectual property (IP) legal regime affect those who make their living on counterfeit commodities, and in return how do these people respond to the implementation of IP laws? In this ethnographic study, I analyze the effects of an IP legal regime in two Chinese markets, and use legal consciousness theories and methods to show how this legal regime results in greater social inequality. While the majority of business owners in my study engage in counterfeiting, their tactics in response to the enforcement of IP laws vary significantly. Small shopkeepers at one market, the primary target of enforcement, adopt the legal consciousness of resistance. Established trademark and logo owners at the other market adopt tactics of evasion to maintain the appearance of lawful practices. I argue that these two types of tactics embody different forms of legal consciousness. The divergent tactical responses strengthen the second group of business owners who have greater power and resources at the expense of the first group who have less, thus aggravating their socioeconomic disparities.
