The Interplay between Long- and Short-Range Temporal Correlations Shapes Cortex Dynamics across Vigilance States
Authors: Meisel Christian , Klaus Andreas , Vyazovskiy Vladyslav V. , Plenz Dietmar 
Published: September 2017

Increasing evidence suggests that cortical dynamics during wake exhibits long-range temporal correlations suitable to integrate inputs over extended periods of time to increase the signal-to-noise ratio in decision making and working memory tasks. Accordingly, sleep has been suggested as a state characterized by a breakdown of long-range correlations. However, detailed measurements of neuronal timescales that support this view have so far been lacking. Here, we show that the cortical timescales measured at the individual neuron level in freely behaving male rats change as a function of vigilance state and time awake. Although quiet wake and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep are characterized by similar, long timescales, these long timescales are abrogated in non-REM sleep. We observe that cortex dynamics exhibits rapid transitions between long-timescale states and sleep-like states governed by short timescales even during wake. This becomes particularly evident during sleep deprivation, when the interplay between these states can lead to an increasing disruption of long timescales that are restored after sleep. Experiments and modeling identify the intrusion of neuronal offline periods as a mechanism that disrupts the long timescales arising from reverberating cortical network activity. Our results provide novel mechanistic and functional links among behavioral manifestations of sleep, wake, and sleep deprivation and specific measurable changes in the network dynamics relevant for characterizing the brain's changing information-processing capabilities. They suggest a network-level function of sleep to reorganize cortical networks toward states governed by long timescales to ensure efficient information integration for the time awake.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTLack of sleep deteriorates several key cognitive functions, yet the neuronal underpinnings of these deficits have remained elusive. Cognitive capabilities are generally believed to benefit from a neural circuit's ability to reliably integrate information. Persistent network activity characterized by long timescales may provide the basis for this integration in cortex. Here, we show that long-range temporal correlations indicated by slowly decaying autocorrelation functions in neuronal activity are dependent on vigilance states. Although wake and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep exhibit long timescales, these long-range correlations break down during non-REM sleep. Our findings thus suggest two distinct states in terms of timescale dynamics. During extended wake, the rapid switching to sleep-like states with short timescales can lead to an overall decline in cortical timescales.
An Investigation on the Detectability of Deceptive Intent about Flying through Verbal Deception Detection
Authors: Kleinberg Bennett , Nahari Galit , Arntz Arnoud , Verschuere Bruno 
Published: September 2017

Background:
Academic research on deception detection has largely focused on the detection of past events. For many applied purposes, however, the detection of false reports about someone’s intention merits attention. Based on the verbal deception detection paradigm, we explored whether true statements on intentions were more detailed and more specific than false statements on intentions, particularly when instructed to be as specific as possible.

Method:
Participants (n = 222) lied or told the truth about their upcoming travel plans either providing ‘as much information as possible’ (standard instructions) or being ‘as specific as possible’ (i.e., mentioning times, locations, places; specific instructions), resulting in four conditions (truthful vs. deceptive intention by standard vs. specific instructions). We collected data via a custom-made web app and performed automated verbal content analysis of participants’ written answers.

Findings:
We did not find a significant difference in the specificity of participants’ statements. The instruction to be as specific as possible promoted more specific information but did not help to discern honest from deceptive flying intentions.

Conclusion:
The experiment reported here attempted to demonstrate automated verbal deception detection of intentions. The difficulty in capturing genuine intentions, and the non-intrusive, non-interactive questioning approach might explain the null findings and raise questions for further research. We conclude with suggestions for a novel framework on semi-interactive information elicitation.

OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate the ability to sustain and further reduce central line–associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) rates in NICUs participating in a multicenter CLABSI reduction collaborative and to assess the impact of the sterile tubing change (TC) technique as an important component in CLABSI reduction.

METHODS:
A multi-institutional quality improvement collaborative lowered CLABSI rates in level IV NICUs over a 12-month period. During the 19-month sustain phase, centers were encouraged to monitor and report compliance measures but were only required to report the primary outcome measure of the CLABSI rate. Four participating centers adopted the sterile TC technique during the sustain phase as part of a local Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle.

RESULTS:
The average aggregate baseline NICU CLABSI rate of 1.076 CLABSIs per 1000 line days was sustained for 19 months across 17 level IV NICUs from January 2013 to July 2014. Four centers transitioning from the clean to the sterile TC technique during the sustain phase had a 64% decrease in CLABSI rates from the baseline (1.59 CLABSIs per 1000 line days to 0.57 CLABSIs per 1000 line days).

CONCLUSIONS:
Sustaining low CLABSI rates in a multicenter collaborative is feasible with team engagement and ongoing collaboration. With these results, we further demonstrate the positive impact of the sterile TC technique in CLABSI reduction efforts.

Will the carboplatin-paclitaxel-bevacizumab combination become the preferred option as the first line in advanced cervical cancer? A small experience from a single oncologic Center
Authors: Lorenzo Raquel Bratos , Lorenzo Luisa Sánchez , González-Martín Antonio 
Published: September 2017

Background: Despite the widespread introduction of screening programs, cervical cancer remains an important health problem, particularly in developing countries. Treatment options for patients with metastatic cancer and persistent or recurrent disease after curative therapy are limited and represent an unmet medical need. Patients and
Methods: We report three clinical cases of metastatic cervical cancer in women treated with the combination of carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab. We also discuss current and future therapy for metastatic or recurrent cervical cancer, including ongoing investigations into the addition of bevacizumab to carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy and the role of bevacizumab as maintenance therapy.
Results and Conclusion: All three women received clinical benefit from the combination, including one complete and two partial responses. The tolerability of bevacizumab was excellent. Carboplatin/paclitaxel appears to be an acceptable and better tolerated alternative to cisplatin/paclitaxel in advanced or recurrent/persistent disease, and the carboplatin/paclitaxel/bevacizumab combination is under investigation for metastatic, recurrent or persistent cervical cancer in clinical trials such as the CECILIA trial (NCT02467907); the awaited results will add to the evidence for the use of this combination chemotherapy regimen in advanced cervical cancer.

Background: In 2014, after FDA approval, the therapeutic armamentarium of relapsed platinum-sensitive (RPS) ovarian cancer has been enriched by the introduction of a new drug, belonging to the class of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), olaparib. This oral PARPi demonstrated to significantly prolong progression-free survival (PFS) compared to placebo as maintenance in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent (PSR) BRCA mutated serous ovarian cancer in the pivotal phase II trial. Olaparib is actually used in daily practice, but very few data are available about its safety and activity out of clinical trials. The aim of this paper is to describe the early data on this agent according to its approval in two clinical cancer care Institutions in Italy.
Materials and Methods: This is an observational, retrospective study, carried out in two Italian Hospitals (National Cancer Institute of Naples and National Cancer Institute of Milan). Archival medical records of all the BRCA mutated relapsed ovarian cancer patients treated with olaparib in two Italian centers from September 1st, 2015 to March 14th, 2017 were analyzed. The primary endpoint is to describe the percentage of patients that received olaparib for ≥6 months and ≥12 months. Secondary endpoints include: the description of objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), PFS and safety profile of olaparib treatment. Olaparib 400 mg twice daily capsules was given orally according to indication.
Results: From September 1st, 2015 to March 14th, 2017 twenty-two patients with RPS ovarian cancer were considered eligible for the analysis. At the time of data cut off point, about 55% of patients were receiving olaparib for at least 6 months, and 27.2% for 12 or more months. Actually, most of the patients (77.3%) is still on treatment with the PARPi. Only 3 progressions of disease (PD) were registered, therefore the median PFS has not been reached. The ORR was 33.4% and the DCR was 75%. Olaparib was globally manageable and well tolerated. Safety data were consistent with previously reported findings in literature. Most common adverse events were: fatigue (63.3%); nausea (77.3%); anemia (54.5%); thrombocytopenia (18.1%); leucopenia (36.4%). All the events were mainly of grade 1 and were transient and managed with supportive care.
Conclusions: Our preliminary analysis suggests a good benefit/toxicity ratio of olaparib also in unselected population out of clinical trials. The need to evaluate the reproducibility of literature findings in heterogeneous patients require further studies.

Rainfall-Storage-Utilization-Discharge model for flood mitigation and water conservation
Authors: Nguyen Duc Canh , Han Mooyoung 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
Climate change and the increase of impermeable surfaces due to urbanization have led to an increase in the frequency of flooding events. The occurrence of water shortage problems is attributed to an increased population and water pollution. Traditional methods of draining rainwater from rooftops, based on the Rainfall-Discharge (R-D) model, are challenged. By storing some of the rainfall that falls on building rooftops, flooding of nearby sewer systems can be mitigated, and the reduction of peak runoff can then calculated using the Rainfall-Storage-Discharge (R-S-D) model. By utilizing stored rainfall in or near a building, flooding can be further mitigated while conserving water, and the reduction of peak runoff and the amount of used rainwater can also be calculated using the Rainfall-Storage-Utilization-Discharge (R-S-U-D) model. The R-S-U-D model uses site-specific rainfall characteristics; thus, we take Seoul, Korea as a study case. The reduced peak flow and increased design return period for a combination of tank volume and utilization rate can be calculated and presented by a curve, which can be used in the design and operation of sewer systems. Results from the R-S-U-D model can help in designing methods to reduce the flooding risk in existing sewer systems without increasing their capacity, thus reducing expenses. Water conservation is an additional benefit.
Synthesis of MnFe2O4 and Mn3O4 magnetic nano-composites with enhanced properties for adsorption of Cr(VI): artificial neural network modeling
Authors: Bhowmik Kartick Lal , Debnath Animesh , Nath Ranendu Kumar , Saha Biswajit 
Published: September 2017

Abstract
This study reports adsorptive removal of Cr(VI) by magnetic manganese ferrite and manganese oxide nano-particles (MnF-MO-NPs) composite from aqueous media. The X-ray diffraction pattern of MnF-MO-NPs revealed a polycrystalline nature with nanoscale crystallite size. The prepared adsorbent with high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller specific surface area of 100.62 m2/g and saturation magnetization of 30.12 emu/g exhibited maximum Cr(VI) removal at solution pH 2.0 and was easily separated from water under an external magnetic field. Adsorption capacity as much as 91.24 mg/g is reported and electrostatic interaction between positively charged adsorbent surface and anionic metal ion species is the main driving force in this adsorption. Adsorption experimental data followed Langmuir isotherm and second order kinetics. Partial involvement of intra-particle diffusion was also observed due to the mesoporous nature of MnF-MO-NPs. The thermodynamic studies revealed that the process was favorable, spontaneous and exothermic in nature. An artificial neural network model was developed for accurate prediction of Cr(VI) ions removal with minimum mean squared error (MSE) of 15.4 × 10−4 and maximum R2 of 0.98. Owing to large surface to volume ratio, advantage of easy magnetic separation, and high adsorption capacity towards Cr(VI), the reported MnF-MO-NPs appear to be a potential candidate in Cr(VI) contaminated wastewater remediation.
L’action commune de la Sainte Trinité ad extra s L’action commune de la Sainte Trinité ad extra d’après Didyme d’Alexandrie
Authors: Grzywaczewski Joseph 
Published: September 2017

Nous avons présenté les points principaux de l’enseignement de Didyme d’Alexandrie sur l’opération commune de la Sainte Trinité ad extra. Puisque le traité de cet auteur De Trinitate ne s’est pas conservé qu’en fragments, nous avons pris comme base son traité De Spiritu Sancto bien conservé, mais uniquement en traduction latine de Jérôme. Didyme a publié ce livre dans le contexte des controverses avec les tropiques, qui niaient la divinité de l’Esprit Saint. Ils voulaient le ranger parmi les créatures. Saint Athanase, informé sur les tropiques par Sérapion, évêque de Thmuis, a écrit quatre lettres à cet évêque pour réfuter leurs erreurs. On remarque que Didyme a suivi les lignes principales de l’enseignement d’Athanase sur l’Esprit Saint. Si nous comparons les œuvres de ces deux théologiens, Athanase et Didyme, nous serons obligés de constater que le livre de Didyme est plus élaboré que les lettres d’Athanase. Les lettres d’Athanase sont marquées par l’esprit de polémique. L’ouvrage de Didyme a le caractère strictement académique ; son auteur a exploré les passages bibliques concernant l’Esprit Saint et les a soigneusement analysés. Le traité De Spiritu Sancto de Didyme a été bien apprécié par les théologiens de l’antiquité et même par le pape Damase. C’est cette œuvre qui a inspiré saint Ambroise dans sa doctrine sur l’Esprit Saint. Mais plus tard la valeur de ce livre précieux a diminué pour deux raisons : puisque Didyme était proche d’Origène, on le soupçonnait d’hérésie ; la traduction latine que nous possédons n’est pas totalement fidèle à l’original, car Jérôme a légèrement modifié la terminologie de Didyme pour l’adapter à la théologie postérieure. Dans cet article, nous avons signalé les qualités communes du Père et du Fils et de l’Esprit Saint comme la Sagesse et la Vérité ; nous avons évoqué les signes divins comme l’image de Dieu – attribuée au Fils et le sceau de Dieu – attribué à l’Esprit Saint. Nous avons montré, d’après les textes de Didyme, l’opération commune de la Sainte Trinité dans le baptême, dans la communauté ecclésiastique et dans les cœurs des fidèles pour les sanctifier. Nous avons terminé notre étude par la conclusion : puisque le Père et le Fils et l’Esprit Saint sont de la même substance, ils agissent ensemble, surtout dans l’Église, pour le salut des hommes.
Optimal Sections of Tunnels’ Cross Sections with Different Overburdens

Published: September 2017

Introduction:
In order to obtain the optimal section for super-large cross-section loess tunnels with different overburdens, the ANSYS software is applied in this paper.

Methods:
Based on the calculation nonconvergence criteria and Mohr-Coulomb criteria, the static stability of loess tunnel section is analyzed by the finite element static strength reduction method. According to the safety factors of rock mass surrounding tunnel in the case of critical failure, the safety factors of super-large cross-section loess tunnel is discussed with different section forms (rectangular cross-section, circular cross-section, horseshoe cross-section and curve wall cross-section) and different overburdens under gravity.

Results and Conclusion:
The results show that the safety factors of circular section and curve wall cross-section are bigger than the safety factors of the horseshoe cross-section and rectangular cross-section. The curve wall cross-section is considered to be the optimal section because of the fact that the force around the vault and the arch bottom is uniform and symmetrical, and the maximum vertical displacement of the lining is small. The horseshoe cross-section should be avoided in the loess tunnel, because the safety factor of horseshoe cross-section is so small, and stress concentration phenomenon is obvious in the case of deep buried tunnel.
