description: Introduction: Very early withdrawal from treatment in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an increasingly important, but poorly understood, issue. Here, we identified the reasons and risk factors for very early withdrawal from PD. Methods: Incident PD patients from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University above 18 years who started treatment between January 1 2006 and December 31 2011 were included. Cessation of PD therapy within the first 90 days after beginning dialysis was classified as very early withdrawal. Results: Totally 1444 patients were enrolled. Of these, 71 (4.9%) withdrew from PD therapy during the first 90 days. Primary reasons for very early withdrawal included death (34 patients, 47.9%), transplantation (21 patients, 29.6%) and transfer to hemodialysis (14 patients, 19.7%). The leading reasons for death were cardiovascular and infectious disease, accounting for 41.2% (14 patients) and 23.5% (8 patients) of total deaths, respectively. Dialysate leakage (six patients, 42.9%) and catheter dysfunction (five patients, 35.7%) were the main reasons for transfer to hemodialysis. In multivariate analysis, predictors for very early PD withdrawal were older age (per decade increasing; hazard ratio [HR], 1.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03–1.45; p = .019), higher systolic blood pressure (per 10 mmHg increasing; HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.20–1.50; p < .001), lower hemoglobin (per 10 g/l increasing; HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.57–0.78; p < .001), lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.10–0.54; p = .001) and lower residual urine volume (per 100 ml/d increasing; HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.84–0.95; p = .001). Conclusions: Death was the primary reason for very early withdrawal from PD. Risk factors for very early withdrawal from PD were older in age, had higher systolic blood pressure, lower hemoglobin, lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower residual urine volume.

description: Hardware accelerators for deep neural networks (DNNs) have established themselves over the past decade. Most developments have worked towards higher efficiency with an individual application in mind. This highlights the strong relationship between co-designing the accelerator together with the requirements of the application. Currently for a structured design flow, however, it lacks a tool to evaluate a DNN accelerator embedded in a System on Chip (SoC) platform.To address this gap in the state of the art, we introduce FLECSim, a tool framework that enables an end-to-end simulation of an SoC with dedicated accelerators, CPUs and memories. FLECSim offers flexible configuration of the system and straightforward integration of new accelerator models in both SystemC and RTL, which allows for early design verification. During the simulation, FLECSim provides metrics of the SoC, which can be used to explore the design space. Finally, we present the capabilities of FLECSim, perform an exemplary evaluation with a systolic array-based accelerator and explore the design parameters in terms of accelerator size, power and performance.

description: Data competitions have become a popular and cost-effective approach for crowdsourcing versatile solutions from diverse expertise. Current practice relies on the simple leaderboard scoring based on a given set of competition data for ranking competitors and distributing the prize. However, a disadvantage of this practice in many competitions is that a slight difference in the scores due to the natural variability of the observed data could result in a much larger difference in the prize amounts. In this article, we propose a new strategy to quantify the uncertainty in the rankings and scores from using different data sets that share common characteristics with the provided competition data. By using a bootstrap approach to generate many comparable data sets, the new method has four advantages over current practice. During the competition, it provides a mechanism for competitors to get feedback about the uncertainty in their relative ranking. After the competition, it allows the host to gain a deeper understanding of the algorithm performance and their robustness across representative data sets. It also offers a transparent mechanism for prize distribution to reward the competitors more fairly with superior and robust performance. Finally, it has the additional advantage of being able to explore what results might have looked like if competition goals evolved from their original choices. The implementation of the strategy is illustrated with a real data competition hosted by Topcoder on urban radiation search.

description: A synthetic pathway for the synthesis of novel anionic sandwich complexes with a cyclo-E3 (E=P, As) ligand as an end deck was developed giving [Cp′′′Co(η3-E3)]− (Cp′′′=1,2,4-tri-tert-butylcyclopentadienyl, E=P ([5]), As ([6])) in good yields suitable for further reactivity studies. In the reaction with the chlorophosphanes R2PCl (R=Ph, Cy, tBu), neutral complexes with a disubstituted cyclo-E3P (E=P, As) ligand in [Cp′′′Co(η3-E3PR2)] (E=P (7 a–c), As (9 a–c)) were obtained. These compounds can be partially or completely converted into complexes with a cyclo-E3 (E=P, As) ligand with an exocyclic {PR2} unit in [Cp′′′Co(η2:η1-E3PR2)] (E=P (8 a–c), As (10 a–c)). Additionally, the insertion of the chlorosilylene [LSiCl] (L=(tBuN)2CPh) into the cyclo-E3 ligand of [5] and [6] was achieved and the novel heteroatomic complexes [Cp′′′Co(η3-E3SiL)] (E=P (11), As (12)) could be isolated. The reaction pathway was elucidated by DFT calculations.

description: Pandemics are not new to the global community. However, the recent Covid-19 outbreak brought many problems into the limelight. Countries had to make decisions based on how they viewed "Acceptable Loss," "Collateral Damage," and how much "Freedom of Choice" could be tolerated. As a globally connected society, we must be able to prepare ourselves to deal with these questions in a more efficient manner than was done during Covid-19. There is a strong correlation between Wars and Pandemics in this area. This paper attempts to elucidate and explain governments' and medical officials' problems when dealing with pandemics.

description: No presente artigo retomo e desenvolvo um anterior artigo sobre hibridação cultural. Começo por relacionar globalização e cultura, evidenciando como a convivência intensa de matrizes culturais pode levar a uma essencialização de identidades ou, ao invés, ao aprofundamento de interculturalidades híbridas. De seguida, argumento com a “planura” do mundo para vencer as concepções hegemónicas de cultura e gerar uma arquitectura nova de sociedade em rede, feita de espaços públicos e comunicacionais. Neste quadro, advogo para Portugal uma dupla hibridação, a de recuperação e a de antecipação. Refiro depois a grande oportunidade de aprofundamento dos 3+1 capitais a partir de uma gestão inteligente e humana dos novos fenómenos migratórios, para concluir citando o papel da aventura humana, na miscigenação e no policromatismo, em ordem à criação de sentido.

(Best I got was 5 out of 6 for the powerball!) Make astronomical calculations! Explore the universe!Just add this paper to an AI model and chat away!

We introduce a unified theoretical model connecting quantum stability, classical mechanics, and universal scaling phenomena through the integration of Time-Adherence , the Gladiator Force, and a novel recursive resonance mechanism explicitly involving Pi, termed The Pirouette. We demonstrate mathematically, from first principles, how Pi-based fractal resonances naturally unify the emergence of constants, baryon masses, and the inherent directional flow of time.

description: A ficção televisiva, nomeadamente a telenovela, tem funcionado, ao longo dos anos, como agente definidor de grelhas de programação, arrastando audiências de forma transversal. A sua força emocional e o seu estatuto melodramático têm permitido as maiores transformações no mercado televisivo nacional, que assiste, a partir de 1992, ano de aparecimento dos dois canais comerciais nacionais, a um aceso clima concorrencial. Desde essa altura, mantêm-se as guerras pela audiência, recorrendo-se à transmissão de formatos inovadores, à contratação de novos rostos e à transmissão de séries e telenovelas. Mas se, numa primeira fase (1992-2000), as estações desenvolveram a sua programação em torno da ficção brasileira, já enraizada no imaginário português desde 1977 (Gabriela pela RTP1), numa segunda fase (2000-2006), a programação tem sido desenvolvida em torno das séries e telenovelas portuguesas. Este volte-face nas tendências de gosto levaram-nos a colocar uma hipótese sobre a importância da ficção televisiva no estabelecimento de fronteiras simbólicas e identitárias do espaço e do tempo nacionais, a partir de 2000. O presente artigo reúne algumas reflexões preliminares sobre a temática.

description: Public perceptions of fracking and natural gas have received significant scholarly attention recently. However, opinion research is scant with respect to natural gas export (the transport and sale of natural gas from one country to another via pipeline or ship) and its associated economic benefits and environmental risks. Understanding public views on export, particularly in places where export facilities are proposed, is important because the U.S. has rapidly increased its natural gas exports overseas in the wake of the shale revolution. Moreover, such facilities have been targeted by anti-fossil fuel and climate activists as a weak link in the chain of the fossil fuel economy, particularly on the U.S. West Coast where proposals for export terminals have proven unsuccessful. Using a web-based opinion survey in the state of Oregon (n = 500), we evaluate risk and benefit perceptions of natural gas export and the role of socio-demographic, political ideology, and place-based factors in shaping these perceptions. We find that men, conservatives, urban residents, and those who perceive that their community’s economic identity is tied to extractive industries are less likely to perceive risks and more likely to perceive benefits from natural gas export. Respondents with a bachelor’s degree and those who perceive that their community’s economic identity is tied to renewable energy are more likely to perceive risks and less likely to perceive benefits. Whereas much of energy social science is focused on sites of extraction, our results contribute to the growing understanding of the social dimensions of energy export.

description: The study explores the effects of incorporating satellite-based estimates and kriging based on land use regression (LUR) on the ability to predict NO2 and PM2.5 concentrations in the urban cores of the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) located on the continental United States (US). We determined that satellite-based estimates and kriging combined with LUR resulted in the lowest averaged error values and spatially unbiased error distributions for predicting NO2, while kriging combined with LUR, but without satellite-based estimates, resulted in the lowest averaged error values and spatially unbiased error distributions for predicting PM2.5. Satellite-based estimates have a marginal effect on discerning PM2.5 concentrations. Using predicted data, we identified the relationship between various demographic factors and concentrations of these pollutants. While median income and percentage of whites are only associated with PM2.5, the percentage of children is associated with both NO2 and PM2.5.

description: erahertz near fields of gold metamaterials resonant at a frequency of 0.88 THz allow us to enter an extreme limit of nonperturbative ultrafast terahertz electronics: Fields reaching a ponderomotive energy in the keV range are exploited to drive nondestructive, quasistatic interband tunneling and impact ionization in undoped bulk GaAs, injecting electron-hole plasmas with densities in excess of 1019 cm−3. This process causes bright luminescence at energies up to 0.5 eV above the band gap and induces a complete switch-off of the metamaterial resonance accompanied by self-amplitude-modulation of transmitted few-cycle terahertz transients. Our results pave the way towards highly nonlinear terahertz optics and optoelectronic nanocircuitry with subpicosecond switching times.

description: Maternally inherited Wolbachia endosymbionts manipulate arthropod reproduction in various ways. In the butterfly Eurema mandarina, a cytoplasmic incompatibility inducing Wolbachia strain wCI and the associated mtDNA haplotypes are known to originate from the sister species Eurema hecabe, which offered a good case study for microbe-mediated hybrid introgression. Besides wCI, some females with the Z0 karyotype harbour a distinct Wolbachia strain wFem, which causes all-female production by meiotic drive and feminization. We report that a considerable proportion of E. mandarina females (65.7%) were infected with both wCI and wFem (CF) on Tanegashima Island. While females singly infected with wCI (C) produced offspring at a 1 : 1 sex ratio, CF females produced only females. Although Z-linked sequence polymorphism showed no signs of divergence between C and CF females, mtDNA split into two discrete clades; one consisted of C females and the other CF females, both of which formed a clade with E. hecabe but not with uninfected E. mandarina. This suggests that CF matrilines also, but independently, experienced a selective sweep after hybrid introgression from E. hecabe. Distinct evolutionary forces were suggested to have caused C and CF matrilines to diverge, which would be irreversible because of the particular phenotype of wFem.

description: The structure of Al, Ge, Mo-doped Higher Manganese Silicide (HMS) crystals with the general formulas Mn(Si0.99Ge0.01)1.75, Mn(Si0.995Ge0.005)1.75 and (Mn0.98Mo0.02)[(Si0.98Ge0.02)1.75]0.99Al0.01 was investigated by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction and X-ray energy dispersive spectrometry in a wide scale range from a few mm to several Å. Several secondary phases were identified in the Mn4Si7 matrix: Ge1−xSix (0.1 x 2 platelets, MnSi and Mn5Si3 precipitates. Their morphology, structure and crystallographic relationships with the HMS matrix were determined. Mostly local strains in the matrix and precipitates due to lattice misfits at interfaces derived from crystallographic relationships were found two orders of magnitude higher than deformation induced by thermal expansion mismatch. Only a few exceptions of specific relationships were found when the lattice misfit and thermal mismatch have close values. The largest misfit of about 22% was observed between MnSi and Mn4Si7 what led to big and numerous cracks in crystals. Therefore, doping can improve the material performance (1) by preventing the formation of MnSi precipitates with metallic properties and (2) by reduction of cracking and crack propagation because of larger MnSi /Mn4Si7 lattice misfit compared to Ge1−xSix /Mn4Si7 or MoSi2/Mn4Si7 misfits.

description: Three experiments examined the influence of gradient acoustic information on referential interpretation during spoken language processing and how this influence persists over time. Acoustic continua varying between the pronouns “he” and “she” were created and validated in two offline experiments. A third experiment examined whether these acoustic differences influence online pronoun interpretation, and whether this influence persists across words in a discourse. Measures of eye gaze showed immediate sensitivity to graded acoustic information. Moreover, acoustically induced uncertainty persisted across a five-word delay: When listeners encountered a word that disambiguated the referent of the pronoun differently than it had originally been interpreted, the amount of time they took to recover from an initial misinterpretation was directly related to distance along the acoustic continuum between the pronoun and the endpoint corresponding to the correct referent. These findings show that fine-grained acoustic detail induces referential uncertainty that is maintained over extended periods of time.

description: 6-(Pyrazol-1-yl)pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-ol (3a) was synthesized by cyclization reaction from 2,6-dichloro-4-methylnicotinonitrile. The related sulfonyl and acylated product (4–7) were obtained from the compound 3a and different sulfonyl and acyl chloride compounds. The sulfonylation of the compound 3a afforded the O1-sulfonylation, only, to give 3-substituted products 4–6. The acylation of the compound 3a gives 1,3-diacylated products 7 via N2, O1-diacylation. All compounds were characterized by spectroscopic methods and the molecular structures of 3a and 4–7 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The molecular structure of 5 and 7 were studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, reproduced the experimental geometry. The energies of the three molecules of the tautomeric forms of the compound 3a were calculated by DFT calculations. It was shown that the 3a predominated in the gas phase. Besides, molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) and frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis of the compound 3a were investigated by theoretical calculations.

description: Background: The increase in EV deployment is presenting numerous energy challenges to the utility distribution infrastructure. The energy demands created by EV charging sessions and the growing call to develop a network of DCFC charging facilities increases operational risk to the utilities in the ability to provide safe and reliable electricity to all customers.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify the extent of impact to the utility distribution grid from an increasing EV (electric vehicle) adoption.Setting: In total, there were 3,020 rows of distribution circuit feeder data collected from the PG&E DIDF and National Grid NY System Reporting Tool between 2022 – 2023. Additionally, 48 documents, engineering reports, rate filings, articles, research studies, and utility whitepapers were examined.Research Design: Impact analysis using a mixed methodology.Data Collection and Analysis: A single research question was used to formulate an impact analysis to the utility distribution infrastructure under a mixed methodology. A quantitative analysis to determine circuit burden based on historical feeder capacity data and conduct hypothetical impact testing based on a set of ten variables. A qualitative analysis was administered to support these results and further design recommendations for the utility system under a logic model.Findings: The PG&E and Utility National Grid EV and Circuit Impact Analysis demonstrated high susceptibility to overburden under a moderate number of level 2 EV chargers and significantly more when the loading impact was the result of DCFC facilities. The additional exploratory research yielded a consistent theme of mitigation strategies applicable to all electric utilities.
Conclusions: Portions of the electric distribution infrastructure, operated by hundreds of utilities across the United States must be analyzed, upgraded, and adequately managed under systematic programs which promote facility upgrades, energy management, technology integration, such as AMI. Further, the execution of regulatory strategies for smart policy development and investment into hosting capacity tools are critical to reducing EV impact to the utility.Keywords: EV, electric utility, EV grid impacts, EV grid analysis, EV managed charging, EV AMI infrastructure.

description: A single robust reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed and validated as per International Conference on Harmonization guidelines for the accurate quantification of curcuminoids in commercial turmeric products, Ayurvedic medicines, and nanovesicular systems. The proposed chromatographic method was found to be specific, linear (r2 ≥ 0.999), precise at intra- and inter-day levels (percentage relative standard deviation <2.0%), accurate (percentage recovery 99.14–102.29%), and robust. The limits of detection and quantification were found to be 7.40 and 24.70 ng mL−1 for curcumin, 9.24 and 30.80 ng mL−1 for demethoxycurcumin, and 6.48 and 21.61 ng mL−1 for bisdemethoxycurcumin, respectively. Among different commercial turmeric products and Ayurvedic medicines tested, the contents of curcumin (3.54 ± 0.06–25.8 ± 0.08 mg g−1), demethoxycurcumin (1.28 ± 0.02–9.97 ± 0.03 mg g−1), and bisdemethoxycurcumin (0.50 ± 0.01–5.97 ± 0.01 mg g−1) varied significantly. The developed method was effectively applied to the determination of encapsulation efficiency of curcuminoids (ranged between 84.33 ± 3.50 and 96.59 ± 2.53%) in the nanovesicular systems. In conclusion, the reported method is suitable for the analysis of curcuminoids in a wide variety of turmeric products and used for the quality control of products that contain curcuminoids.

description: An innovative lateral flow sulphur autotrophic denitrification (LFSAD) reactor was developed in this study; the treatment performance was evaluated and compared with traditional sulphur/limestone autotrophic denitrification (SLAD) reactor. Results showed that nitrite accumulation in the LFSAD reactor was less than 1.0 mg/L during the whole operation. Denitrification rate increased with the increased initial alkalinity and was approaching saturation when initial alkalinity exceeded 2.5 times the theoretical value. Higher influent nitrate concentration could facilitate nitrate removal capacity. In addition, denitrification efficiency could be promoted under an appropriate reflux ratio, and the highest nitrate removal percentage was achieved under reflux ratio of 200%, increased by 23.8% than that without reflux. Running resistance was only about 1/9 of that in SLAD reactor with equal amount of nitrate removed, which was the prominent excellence of the new reactor. In short, this study indicated that the developed reactor was feasible for nitrate removal from waters with lower concentrations, including contaminated surface water, groundwater or secondary effluent of municipal wastewater treatment with fairly low running resistance. The innovation in reactor design in this study may bring forth new ideas of reactor development of sulphur autotrophic denitrification for nitrate-contaminated water treatment.

description: Telemedicine involves electronic communication between a physician in one location and a patient in another location to provide remote medical care. Ophthalmologists are increasingly employing telemedicine, particularly in retinal disease screening and monitoring. Telemedicine has been utilized to decrease barriers to care and yield greater patient satisfaction and lower costs, while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity. This review discusses common patient barriers to eye care, innovative approaches to retinal disease screening and monitoring using telemedicine, and eye care policy initiatives needed to enact large-scale telemedicine eye disease screening programs.

description: From the n-BuOH-soluble fraction of a MeOH extract of the fruits of Rosa soulieana, one new phenolic glucoside (1) was isolated along with five known compounds, comprising two lignin glycosides, two flavonoid glycosides and a phenolic glycoside. The chemical structure of the new compound was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analyses, including ESI-MS, UV, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, DEPT and 2D NMR (HSQC and HMBC). All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their antioxidant activity by using ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzoline-6-sulfonic acid)) assay. Among these compounds, 1, 3 and 6 exhibited strong scavenging activity in ABTS√+(SC50 = 102.10, 193.85, 65.38 μmol/L, respectively) compared with the positive control l-ascorbic acid (Vc) (SC50 = 117.16 μmol/L).

description: An image-map is a compromise of an image and a map. The quality of such maps is affected by a number of factors, such as (a) the matching between the features on images and the graphic symbols from maps, (b) the complexity of background images, and (c) the representation of graphic and text symbols on the images. This project deals with the first issue. The current solution is that the accuracy of images should satisfy the accuracy standard of maps. However, images with different resolutions can satisfy the standard for a specific map scale. This may lead to such a situation that the levels of detail (LoD) in images may not match the complexity of map features although the planimetric accuracy is matched. To solve this problem, we developed a complexity-based matching between the image resolution and map scale. More precisely, the matching is based on the complexity of line features. Experimental evaluations were conducted in fifteen representative areas in Hong Kong, by using maps at seven scales and eight image resolutions. Results show that this complexity-based method is capable of obtaining good matching between image resolution and map scale, in terms of both accuracy and users' preference.
