Published: May 2016

BackgroundLight chain deposition disease (LCDD) is usually a systemic disorder characterised by non-amyloid monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain deposition in tissues. Localised nodular pulmonary (NP) LCDD is a rare and poorly characterised entity and, owing to the difficulties in diagnosis, limited data are available.MethodsWe investigated the clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of a series of six confidently diagnosed cases of NPLCDD.ResultsThere were three men and three women with ages ranging from 33 to 74 years. In all cases there were single or multiple pulmonary nodules, in one case associated with cysts. Two patients had no previous history of a lymphoproliferative or autoimmune disorder, two had Sjögren syndrome (SS) and two had extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma). Lung biopsies led to diagnoses of MALT lymphoma in four patients, including both of those with a previous history of lymphoma and one with SS. In five cases the diagnosis was confirmed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and in one by electron microscopy. There was no evidence of systemic LCDD in any of the cases. Five patients had an indolent course in spite of limited therapeutic intervention while, in the patient who died, the cause of death was related to the spread of the lymphoma and was not due to the pulmonary lesions.ConclusionsNPLCDD is an indolent disease, in most cases associated with MALT lymphoma or autoimmune disease.
Analysis of entropy extraction efficiencies in random number generation systems
Authors: Wang Chao , Wang Shuang , Chen Wei , Yin Zhen-Qiang , Han Zheng-Fu 
Published: May 2016

Random numbers (RNs) have applications in many areas: lottery games, gambling, computer simulation, and, most importantly, cryptography [N. Gisin et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 74 (2002) 145]. In cryptography theory, the theoretical security of the system calls for high quality RNs. Therefore, developing methods for producing unpredictable RNs with adequate speed is an attractive topic. Early on, despite the lack of theoretical support, pseudo RNs generated by algorithmic methods performed well and satisfied reasonable statistical requirements. However, as implemented, those pseudorandom sequences were completely determined by mathematical formulas and initial seeds, which cannot introduce extra entropy or information. In these cases, “random” bits are generated that are not at all random. Physical random number generators (RNGs), which, in contrast to algorithmic methods, are based on unpredictable physical random phenomena, have attracted considerable research interest. However, the way that we extract random bits from those physical entropy sources has a large influence on the efficiency and performance of the system. In this manuscript, we will review and discuss several randomness extraction schemes that are based on radiation or photon arrival times. We analyze the robustness, post-processing requirements and, in particular, the extraction efficiency of those methods to aid in the construction of efficient, compact and robust physical RNG systems.
An Artificially Designed Interfering lncRNA Expressed by Oncolytic Adenovirus Competitively Consumes OncomiRs to Exert Antitumor Efficacy in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Abstract
Endogenous miRNAs, especially oncogenic miRNAs (OncomiR), have been molecular targets for cancer therapy. We generated an artificially designed interfering long noncoding RNA (lncRNAi), which contains the sequences that can complementarily bind to multiple OncomiRs and is expressed by cancer-selectively replicating adenovirus. The adenovirus-expressed lncRNAi with high levels in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells competes with OncomiR target genes to bind to and consume OncomiRs, thereby achieving the targeted anti-HCC efficacy. With the targeting replication of adenovirus in HCC cells, lncRNAi was highly expressed and resulted in decreased abilities of proliferation, migration, and invasion, induced cell-cycle changes and apoptosis, and markedly changed the cellular mRNA and miRNA expression profiles in HCC cells. The optimal antitumor effect was also demonstrated on HCC cell line xenograft models and HCC patient–derived xenograft (PDX) tumor models in nude mice. This strategy has established a technology platform with a reliable therapeutic effect for HCC therapy. Mol Cancer Ther; 15(7); 1436–51. ©2016 AACR.

The concentration of cytokines of the family IL-10 (IL-10, IL-22, IL-24), interferon-gamma, soluble forms of co-stimulatory molecules CD28, CD80, CD152, as well as NO was investigated in patients with coronary heart disease in interstitial fluid. In addition, the level of caspase-1, inducible and endothelial forms of NO synthasis (eNOS, iNOS), protein kinase AKT1 and AMPK and the total antioxidant activity from the cell culture supernantat were evaluatedin the agranulocytic patients.
In the current study (in vitro) the impact on production of these mediators of low-intensity microwave radiation frequency of 1000 MHz, generated by an apparatus of low-intensity physiotherapy &#34;Aquaton&#34; was evaluated. Material of this study was whole venous blood of patients with angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome. The analysis of the results revealed a reduced level of NO, IL-24, as well as increased production of IL-10, IL-22 and the concentration of soluble forms of CD28, CD80, CD152 in patients with coronary artery disease in the interstitial fluid in comparison with practically healthy persons.
At a single irradiation of cell cultures whole blood by low-intensity microwave radiation frequency of 1000 MHz in patients with angina pectoris and acute coronary syndrome there were an increasing of NO production by 20,6 and 25,5‰, IL-24 by 18,6 and 33,6‰, and a reduction in intracellular caspase-1 by 32,5 and 25,8‰, as well as increasing of the levels of IL-10 by 3,5 and 3,1‰, IL-22 by 28,7 and 26,5‰ and reduction of the levels of CD28 by 3,6 and 3,9‰, CD80 6,8 and 5,7‰, CD152 by 9,4 and 11,3‰, respectively. In addition, in terms of irradiation there is an increase in interstitial fluid levels of antioxidants by 37,1 and 49,2‰.

Published: May 2016

An algebraic model of constructive logic is intended to build multivariate non-linear logical mathematical model and is widely used in analytical studies in medicine and biology. An important stage of its construction is the data preparation in accordance with the following requirements:
▪ The optimal choice of the analyzed factors with the following features: the pursuit of the researcher to involve the largest possible number of factors is a common mistake; factors must be independent; it is advisable to select only those factors that meet the research objectives; the ability of the algorithm to exclude certain fac-tors from the resulting mathematical model, it is observed, when the array of data input is sufficiently complete; the ability to use both continuous variables and discrete; the mathematical model is a more compact, if less factors are used, this model is easier to analyze and identify the characteristics of the test process.
▪ Verification of the data is the identification and correction of errors at the stage of entering the informa-tion into the database; using the built-in intelligent tools that facilitate the process of correct coding of medical information; additional data verification by using special techniques, such as the analytical testing method in the database records.
▪ Selecting of objective study with the following features: the goal can be represented not only two dis-crete (the goal is achieved or not achieved), but also a large number of them; the more discrete, the amount of base should be larger; possibility to use calculated target value by using various criteria.
▪ Presence of the necessary number of entries for a full analysis, it is necessary to ensure compliance with each of the target case (corresponding to the goal) at least two cases of non-target (not corresponding to the goal).
▪ Choice of software options is adequate available data.
These requirements will allow to performing the analytical studies in accordance with the required relia-bility.
Beyond museum walls: Visual narratives through images and history
Authors: de Alencar Valeria Peixoto 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article presents the analysis of visual narratives produced by 13–14-year-old students after visiting a historical exhibition at Museu Paulista of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Our goal was to understand which memories and reflections remained latent after the educational visit. In order to do so, we proceeded with a follow-up activity at the school the students attend. The discussion we propose concerning the relationship between image and history was mainly introduced by Burke, whereas Hooper-Greenhill focused on the images in a history museum context. Furthermore, we analyse to what extent a display designed 90 years ago can impact the production of these students. In addition, there was considerable effort by the museum educators to help them develop critical interpreting skills. The idea of ‘real learning’ of Atkinson also contributed to my considerations on the students’ work.

Socio-demographic and family determinants of emotional competence of high school students in Hong Kong: a 6-year longitudinal study
Authors: Shek Daniel T.L. , Leung Janet T.Y. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractTo understand adolescent development in the Chinese context, developmental trajectories of adolescent emotional competence over time and the related socio-demographic and family determinants were examined in a 6-year longitudinal study. Over six waves of data collection, students were invited to complete a questionnaire measuring emotional competence, paternal and maternal control, father-child and mother-child relationship, family functioning and socio-demographic characteristics. Results showed that adolescent emotional competence showed a linear increase across time. At the initial stage, gender, paternal and maternal control, father-child and mother-child relationship and family functioning influenced adolescent emotional competence. Over time, maternal control, mother-child relationship and family functioning predicted changes in the trajectory of adolescent emotional competence. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
La question des quartiers dits « sensibles » à l’épreuve du ghetto
Authors: Avenel Cyprien 
Published: May 2016

Dans cet article, nous discutons la notion de ghetto et son utilisation dans les travaux sociologiques en France pour caractériser l’évolution de certains quartiers d’habitat populaire. Nous proposons une mise en perspective critique des principaux courants de la littérature sociologique, notamment ceux qui se réfèrent à une analyse comparative avec le ghetto américain. Nous procédons dans cette optique à un examen des débats et des enjeux en les ordonnant autour de trois grands axes : le premier interroge la nature des mécanismes de ségrégation et ses dimensions « sociale », « urbaine » et « ethnique », afin d’évaluer la pertinence de l’application du terme « ghetto » ; le second concerne les conséquences de la ségrégation sur les modes de vie et les types de lien sociaux à l’œuvre ; enfin, le troisième analyse la place et le rôle des interventions publiques dans les dynamiques de ségrégation. La notion de ghetto pose en définitive beaucoup plus de problèmes qu’elle n’en résout. Elle se focalise sur les situations extrêmes et masque une réalité hétérogène et dynamique, là où d’autres pistes scientifiques plus sensibles aux contrastes et aux possibilités d’initiative et de construction des parcours de vie invitent à renouveler l’objet d’étude.
Résider en zus influe-t-il sur la mobilité quotidienne des actifs ?
Authors: Bouzouina Louafi , Havet Nathalie , Pochet Pascal 
Published: May 2016

Cet article s’intéresse à la question de l’enclavement des zones urbaines sensibles, que la politique de la ville a pour objectif de réduire. Il propose une évaluation de l’impact du lieu de résidence des actifs occupés de l’aire urbaine de Lyon sur l’ensemble de leur mobilité quotidienne et sur celle liée au travail, en tentant en particulier d’isoler l’impact propre du fait de résider en zus . L’analyse repose sur la dernière enquête Ménages déplacements lyonnaise de 2006 enrichie d’autres sources de données spatialisées. À une résidence dans un quartier zus correspondent un nombre total de déplacements plus faible, des distances et des durées de mobilité quotidienne plus courtes. La contribution de l’effet propre du lieu de résidence, net de l’influence de toute autre caractéristique, est de l’ordre de 2 km et de 7 minutes de moins par jour. En revanche, pour les seuls allers-retours domicile-travail, l’effet propre « zus » opère dans le sens opposé : toutes choses égales par ailleurs, les actifs résidant dans un quartier avec zus parcourent 1,5 km de plus par jour que les actifs résidant dans d’autres quartiers, soit 10 % de temps en plus. Ces différences, modérées mais statistiquement significatives, corroborent plutôt les hypothèses d’enclavement et de mauvais appariement spatial des actifs des quartiers défavorisés et incitent à poursuivre ce type d’analyses sur d’autres contextes urbains.

Control of threading dislocations by Al(Ga)InAs reverse-graded buffers grown on GaAs substrates
Authors: He Yang , Sun Yurun , Song Yan , Zhao Yongming , Yu Shuzhen , Dong Jianrong 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
High-quality strain-relaxed InP layers with undulating step-graded Al(Ga)InAs buffers were grown on GaAs substrates by metal–organic chemical vapor deposition. Transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM), atom force microscopy, and photoluminescence were carried out to characterize the metamorphic buffers. V-shaped dislocations in [001] Al(Ga)InAs reverse-graded layers were observed by HREM and the behavior of reverse-graded layers was simulated theoretically using analytical models. Both the experimental and theoretical results indicated that the insertion of reverse-graded layers with appropriately designed thicknesses and In grading coefficients promotes the annihilation and coalescence reactions between threading dislocations and reduces threading dislocations density.
Properties of marine stratocumulus obtained with partly cloudy pixel retrievals and found in the MODIS MOD06 cloud product
Authors: Boeke Robyn C. , Allan Andrea M. , Coakley James A. 
Published: May 2016

AbstractPartly cloudy pixel retrievals (PCPRs) of cloud properties for marine stratocumulus were compared with those of the 1 km Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud product (MOD06). In addition, the fractional cloud cover obtained from the PCPRs applied to 1 km MODIS radiances was compared with that derived from the 250 m cloud mask (MOD35). The comparisons were made for pixels that were overcast and pixels that were only partially covered by clouds. Accounting for failed retrievals in both the MOD06 cloud properties and those obtained with the PCPRs leads to the suggestion that regional cloud cover be estimated in terms of lower and upper limits. The average could serve as the best estimate of the cloud cover, and the difference between the average and an extreme could serve as the uncertainty. The comparisons reveal that the overcast assumption used in the MODIS cloud property retrievals leads to cloud cover, droplet effective radii, and cloud top temperatures that are overestimated and, shortwave optical depths, liquid water paths that are underestimated. These biases persist when the properties are averaged to form spatial and temporal means. Owing to significant horizontal variations of cloud liquid water within the 1 km MODIS pixels, visible optical depths, droplet effective radii, and liquid water paths derived from the PCPRs show similar biases. The trends of the biases with pixel‐scale and regional‐scale cloud cover suggest that estimates of the aerosol indirect radiative forcing derived from satellites have been overestimated.
Stability analysis of PE systems via Steklov's averaging technique
Authors: Pogromsky A. Yu. , Matveev A. S. 
Published: May 2016

SummaryThe paper presents a novel approach to justification of asymptotic stability of linear time‐varying systems with persistently excited right‐hand side. This approach combines the direct Lyapunov method with the Steklov averaging technique; its distinguishing feature is closed‐form construction of the Lyapunov functional, along with resultant explicit estimates of the rate of convergency. © 2016 The Authors.
