description: Background: Level I evidence supports the use of sorafenib in patients with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage C hepatocellular carcinoma, where heterogeneity in efficacy exists due to varying clinicopathologic features of the disease. Aim: We evaluated whether prior treatment with curative or locoregional therapies influences sorafenib-specific survival. Methods: From a prospective data set of 785 consecutive patients from international specialist centres, 264 patients (34%) were treatment naïve (TN) and 521 (66%) were pre-treated (PT), most frequently with transarterial chemoembolization (n = 413; 79%). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) from sorafenib initiation with prognostic factors tested on uni- and multivariate analyses. Results: Median OS for the entire cohort was 9 months; the median sorafenib duration was 2.8 months, with discontinuation being secondary to progression (n = 454; 58%) or toxicity (n = 149; 19%). PT patients had significantly longer OS than TN patients (10.5 vs. 6.6 months; p < 0.001). Compared to TN patients, PT patients had a better Child-Pugh (CP) class (CP A: 57 vs. 47%; p < 0.001) and a lower BCLC stage (BCLC A-B, 40 vs. 30%; p = 0.007). PT status preserved an independent prognostic role (p = 0.002) following adjustment for BCLC stage, α-fetoprotein, CP class, aetiology, and post-sorafenib treatment status. PT patients were more likely to receive further anticancer treatment after sorafenib (31 vs. 9%; p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients receiving sorafenib after having failed curative or locoregional therapies survive longer and are more likely to receive further treatment after sorafenib. This suggests an incremental benefit to OS from sequential exposure to multiple lines of therapy, justifying treatment stage migration in eligible patients.

description: We investigate the observed muon deficit in air shower simulations when compared to ultrahigh-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) data. Based upon the observed enhancement of strangeness production in high-energy hadronic collisions reported by the ALICE Collaboration, the concomitant $π\leftrightarrow K$ swap is considered as the keystone to resolve the muon anomaly through its corresponding impact on the shower development. We construct a toy model in terms of the $π\leftrightarrow K$ swapping probability $F_s$. We present a parametrization of $F_s$ in terms of the pseudorapidity that can accommodate the UHECR data. Looking to the future, we explore potential strategies for model improvement using the massive amounts of data to be collected by LHC neutrino detectors, such as FASER$ν$ and experiments at the Forward Physics Facility. We calculate the corresponding sensitivity to $F_s$ and show that these experiments will be able to probe the model phase space.

Sublime and Tragic Fall: When Tiresias Met Athena
Creators: name: Di Rocco, Emilia
Publisher: name: THERSITES. Journal for Transcultural Presences & Diachronic Identities from Antiquity to Date
Year: 2016

description: The Western cultural tradition has always been fascinated by the myth of Tiresias ever since the prophet’s first appearance in the Odyssey, an event that marks the beginning of his career in both literature and the arts. Among the many versions handed over by Antiquity to modernity, the one recorded by Callimachus in the Fifth Hymn. For the Bath of Pallas touches upon one of the most enigmatic questions in human life, the relationship between man and the gods. The encounter between Tiresias and Athena, as a matter of fact, hides that obscure sense which is at the root of the genesis of secrecy in literature and results in the most tragic and, at the same time, the most sublime of events. Lord Tennyson’s rewriting is one of the many shadows that the myth of Tiresias casts on the western cultural tradition. In his Tiresias the English poet conflates Callimachus’ version with the myth of Moeneceus in the Phoenician Women and establishes significant links with Scripture. Tennyson’s Tiresias, however, is not a victim of a tragic error, he is willing to see and to know, whereas Callimachus’ hero acts unwittingly. This marks the distance of this prophet, who in the end acquires a useless knowledge, from the Greek one, and changes completely our point of view with regard to man’s relationship with the godhead. Such is the difference between the ancient and the modern prophet that instead of asking ourselves “What did Tiresias really see?” – which is the very question at the heart of Callimachus’ version – we might ask a more fundamental question: “Why prophets in a desolate time?”.

description: New X-ray and optical observations shed light on the remarkable X-ray filament of the Gamma-ray pulsar PSR~J2030+4415. Images of the associated H$α$ bow shock's evolution over the past decade compared with its velocity structure provide an improved kinematic distance of $\sim$0.5kpc. These velocities also imply that the pulsar spin axis lies $\sim 15^\circ$ from the proper motion axis which is close to the plane of the sky. The multi-bubble shock structure indicates that the bow shock stand-off was compressed to a small value $\sim 20-30$y ago when the pulsar broke through the bow shock to its present bubble. This compression allowed multi-TeV pulsar $e^\pm$ to escape to the external ISM, lighting up an external magnetic field structure as the `filament'. The narrow filament indicates excellent initial confinement and the full $15^\prime$ ($2.2$~pc=7~lt-y) projected length of the filament indicates rapid $e^\pm$ propagation to its end. Spectral variation along the filament suggests that the injected particle energy evolved during the break-through event.

description: We study the translational and rotational dynamics of neutrally-buoyant finite-size spheroids in hydrodynamic turbulence by means of fully resolved numerical simulations. We examine axisymmetric shapes, from oblate to prolate, and the particle volume dependences. We show that the accelerations and rotations experienced by non-spherical inertial-scale particles result from volume filtered fluid forces and torques, similar to spherical particles. However, the particle orientations carry signatures of preferential alignments with the surrounding flow structures, which is reflected in distinct axial and lateral fluctuations for accelerations and rotation rates. The randomization of orientations does not occur even for particles with volume equivalent diameter size in the inertial range, here up to 60 $η$ at $Re_λ=120$. Additionally, we demonstrate that the role of fluid boundary layers around the particles cannot be neglected to reach a quantitative understanding of particle statistical dynamics, as they affect the intensities of angular velocities, and the relative importance of tumbling with respect to spinning rotations. This study brings to the fore the importance of inertial-scale flow structures in homogeneous and isotropic turbulence and their impacts on the transport of neutrally-buoyant bodies with size in the inertial range.

description: A film entitled The Fall of an Empire: The Lesson of Byzantium, came out in Russia in 2008. It has all the features of a documentary. This film, however, does not principally engage with Byzantium, nor is it a documentary. At times directly, but mainly by implication, the narration emphasises Moscow’s own metropolitan status and its entitlement to be the centre of Empire. The film aims to reignite interest in the age-old Russian identity narrative of Moscow as the `Third Rome’. This essay will have a close look at how it attempts to transmit and consolidate assigned content for the national consciousness.

description: Objectives: An expanding body of research suggests that childhood adverse experiences can lead to different negative health outcomes, including attempted suicide. Serotonergic genes such as the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) have been associated both with impulsivity in suicide attempts and reactivity to environmental stress exposure. BDNF gene may play an epigenetic role. Methods: We studied the influence of childhood stressful events and 5-HTTLPR genotype on impulsivity measured by Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS-10) in a multicentre sample of 1,655 suicide attempters (69.4% women, 30.6% men; mean age 40.13). A co-dominant additive genetic model was used for the statistical analyses. Interaction between 5-HTTLPR genotype and early trauma exposure was tested using Moderated and Multiple Regression techniques. Interaction plots were used to explore BDNF genotype modulation. Results: Mildly higher impulsivity scores were found in men with SS compared with SL or LL genotypes, and men with childhood emotional and physical abuse. Interaction analyses showed that combination of 5-HTTLPR-SS genotype and early trauma exposure increase impulsivity scores independently. Impulsivity scores were not affected by the modulation of BDNF genes. Conclusions: childhood trauma and 5-HTTLPR genotype seem to be independently involved in suicide attempts, sharing a common pathway of increasing impulsivity.

description: Purpose: Physical activity is an important method of rehabilitation used to promote positive physical and psychosocial outcomes among military personnel, including Veterans, with a physical disability. However, minimal research has explored physical activity program implementation strategies, particularly how these strategies may foster positive rehabilitation outcomes, and quality participation experiences among Veterans post-injury. The purpose of the current study is to document strategies used to deliver physical activity programs to Veterans with a physical disability. Research methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with program staff from three Veteran physical activity programs, and program documentation was collected. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis. Results: Four themes were identified representing strategies used for delivering physical activity programming: (1) foster social connections; (2) challenge participants; (3) tailor programs and outcomes to match participant needs; and (4) include knowledgeable coaches/instructors. Conclusions: The study provides researchers and practitioners (e.g., rehabilitation professionals, program facilitators, coaches) with evidence of strategies for delivering physical activity programming for Veterans post-injury, thus assisting with future program development and evaluation. The findings also provide preliminary insight regarding the potential relationships between physical activity programming and elements of quality participation.Implications for RehabilitationPhysical activity is a popular method of rehabilitation for military personnel post-injury.Findings highlight four strategies used to deliver physical activity experiences to Veterans with a physical disability.Strategies highlighted provide insight as to how rehabilitation specialists can promote quality experiences for Veterans with a physical disability during physical activity programming.

description: This study aimed to explore the influence of future time perspective on middle school students’ academic procrastination, and the moderation effects of construal level through two studies. Study 1, based on the questionnaire method, explored the moderation effect of trait construal level on the link between future time perspective and academic procrastination. Study 2 manipulated the contextual construal level to repeatedly prove its moderation effect. The results showed that (1) future time perspective significantly negatively predicted middle school students’ academic procrastination, and construal level positively predicted procrastination; (2) construal level plays a moderating role between future time perspective and academic procrastination. The findings revealed that construal level and future time perspective interacted to influence students’ academic procrastination, indicating that construal level will be a good intervention to improve the influence of middle school students’ future time perspective on academic procrastination

description: Herein, a facile strategy was firstly developed to synthesize ellipsoidal mesoporous silica nanomaterials (MSNs) with well-ordered parallel channels along the short axis. A miniaturized microfluidic device with spiral-shaped channels was then chosen as a straightforward and general platform to produce the corresponding hollow counterparts of MSNs under mild conditions. Such reaction process carried out in a microfluidic system was further demonstrated to be more rapid and efficient than a conventional batch method under equivalent experimental conditions. The evolution of hollow structure can be well tuned by flow rates (i.e. etching time), providing a new paradigm for rational design and engineering of anisotropic nanostructures. IMPACT STATEMENT This study developed a straightforward and general microfluidic platform to produce hollow nanostructures, providing new routes for rational design and engineering of functional nanomaterials.

description: The O vacancy (Ov) formation energy, $E_\textrm{Ov}$, is an important property of a metal-oxide, governing its performance in applications such as fuel cells or heterogeneous catalysis. These defects are routinely studied with density functional theory (DFT). However, it is well-recognized that standard DFT formulations (e.g. the generalized gradient approximation) are insufficient for modeling the Ov, requiring higher levels of theory. The embedded cluster method offers a promising approach to compute $E_\textrm{Ov}$ accurately, giving access to all electronic structure methods. Central to this approach is the construction of quantum(-mechanically treated) clusters placed within suitable embedding environments. Unfortunately, current approaches to constructing the quantum clusters either require large system sizes, preventing application of high-level methods, or require significant manual input, preventing investigations of multiple systems simultaneously. In this work, we present a systematic and general quantum cluster design protocol that can determine small converged quantum clusters for studying the Ov in metal-oxides with accurate methods such as local coupled cluster with single, double and perturbative triple excitations [CCSD(T)]. We apply this protocol to study the Ov in the bulk and surface planes of rutile TiO2 and rocksalt MgO, producing the first accurate and well-converged determinations of $E_\textrm{Ov}$ with this method. These reference values are used to benchmark exchange-correlation functionals in DFT and we find that all studied functionals underestimate $E_\textrm{Ov}$, with the average error decreasing along the rungs of Jacob's ladder. This protocol is automatable for high-throughput calculations and can be generalized to study other point defects or adsorbates.

‘Medieval Latin’ and ‘Neo-Latin’: Epochal Polarity or Stereotypical Terms?
Creators: name: Tilg, Stefan
Publisher: name: THERSITES. Journal for Transcultural Presences & Diachronic Identities from Antiquity to Date
Year: 2015

description: ENGLISH Classicists are paying more and more attention to the postclassical stages of Latin after the fall of the Roman empire, either as a special case of reception of antiquity or as a continuing tradition of Latin language and literature until the 18th century. While this consideration of later periods is one way to escape ‘classical’ stereotyped thinking, it is in itself liable to rely on poorly reflected upon categories. In this paper I deal with the most fundamental of these categories, the terms ‘Medieval Latin’ and ‘Neo-Latin’ used to describe the succession of what seem to be two distinct major periods of post classical Latinity. I discuss the soundness of this distinction, which can be traced back to a grand narrative of the humanists of the 15th and 16th centuries, and ask if we today should follow this narrative. A number of representative examples suggest that the simple and inclusive term ‘Latin’ would be preferable to ‘Medieval Latin’ and ‘Neo-Latin’. GERMAN Das nachantike Latein findet zunehmend Beachtung auch bei Klassischen Philologen, entweder als Sonderfall der Rezeptionsgeschichte oder als Teil einer durchgängigen Tradition der lateinische Sprache und Literatur bis ins 18. Jahrhundert. Während diese Zuwendung zu späteren Epochen einen Ausweg aus ‚klassischem‘ Schubladendenken bieten mag, ist es seinerseits wieder anfällig für wenig reflektierte Pauschalisierungen. In diesem Beitrag werde ich zwei elementare Pauschalisierungen, die Begriffe „Mittellatein“ und „Neulatein“, hinterfragen, die zur Beschreibung von zwei scheinbar klar getrennten Epochen der nachantiken Latinität in aller Munde sind. Ich werde diese Begriffe auf eine große Erzählung des Renaissancehumanismus zurückführen und diskutieren, ob wir heute dieser Erzählung immer noch folgen sollten. Eine Reihe von Beispielen wird zeigen, dass der einfache und umfassende Begriff „Latein“ den Begriffen „Mittellatein“ und „Neulatein“ eigentlich vorzuziehen wäre.

description: Three mononuclear CoIII complexes, [Co(L1 tBu)(bdbp)]·2EtOH (1), [Co(L2 tBu)(bdbp)] (2), and [Co(L3 tBu)2]ClO4 (3) (where H2L1 tBu = bis[{6-benzoyl-4-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl}benzi-midoyl]-1,2-ethane, H2L2 tBu = bis[{6-benzoyl-4-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl}benzimidoyl]-1,3-propane, bdbpH = 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dibenzoylphenol and HL3 tBu = 2-{N-(4-amino-butyl)benzimidoyl}-6-benzoyl-4-tert-butylphenol), have been synthesized by one-pot condensation involving CoII perchlorate, ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine, and butane-1,4-diamine. The Schiff bases, H2L2 and HL3, and 1–3 have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, mass spectrometry, IR, electronic, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and X-ray crystallography. In 1 and 2, the tetradentate ONNO ligand wraps around cobalt in a rare β cis-conformation. Complex 3 possesses a tridentate NNO ligand leading to two seven-membered chelate rings in a fac-CoN4O2 octahedral configuration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a satisfactory description of the electronic properties of the new compounds. All the complexes are redox active and display the Co(III)–Co(II) couple in the potential range −0.6– + 0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgNO3). Interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by a spectrophotometric method and cyclic voltammetry. Based on these observations, an intercalative binding mode of DNA has been proposed. The order of their intrinsic DNA binding constants Kb is Kb (1) Kb (2) Kb (3). The observed trend in the binding constant values is consistent with the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals.

description: Sterile neutrinos can be a possible candidate for dark matter. Sterile neutrinos are radiatively unstable and can inject photon energy into the intergalactic medium (IGM). The injection of photon energy into IGM can modify the temperature and ionization history of IGM gas during cosmic dawn. Theoretical models based on the ΛCDM framework predict an absorption profile in the 21 cm line during the cosmic dawn era. Recently, the Experiment to Detect the Global Epoch of Reionization Signature (EDGES) collaboration confirmed such an adsorption signal. Injection of energy into IGM can modify the absorption amplitude in the 21 cm signal. Considering the 21 cm absorption signal at cosmic dawn, we constrain the lifetime of sterile neutrinos and the mixing angle of sterile neutrinos with active neutrinos. We also compare these bounds with other astrophysical observational bounds.

description: We report the experimental realization of two-dimensional (2D) weak topological insulator (WTI) in spinless Su-Schrieffer-Heeger circuits with parity-time and chiral symmetries. Strong and weak $\mathbb{Z}_2$ topological indexes are adopted to explain the experimental findings that a Dirac semimetal (DSM) phase and four WTI phases emerge in turn when we modulate the centrosymmetric circuit deformations. In DSM phase, it is found that the Dirac cone is highly anisotropic and not pinned to any high-symmetry points but can widely move within the Brillouin zone, which eventually leads to the phase transition between WTIs. In addition, we observe a pair of flat-band domain wall states by designing spatially inhomogeneous node connections. Our work provides the first experimental evidence for 2D WTIs, which significantly advances our understanding on the strong and weak nature of topological insulators, the robustness of flat bands, and the itinerant and anisotropic feature of Dirac cones.

description: ENGLISH The stereotypical image of Marcus Tullius Cicero as the best orator and the worst poetaster in the history of literature was born as far back as in Antiquity. It swiftly spread with the development of instituted schooling and became an integral part of the portrayal of Graeco-Roman culture, passed down from generation to generation within Western civilization. In the present paper we shall outline the characteristics of the stereotype of Cicero the Poet along with its influence on Classical Studies and humanistic culture writ large. Special focus will be put on extracting the very roots of this stereotype. Furthermore, it will be shown that the particular case of Cicero the Poet ought to be reconsidered in the context of a wider process we have been witnessing in recent times: the disintegration of traditional models which, paradoxically, offers many appealing opportunities for Classical Studies to better understand the past and to develop in new, groundbreaking directions. GERMAN Das stereotype Bild von Marcus Tullius Cicero als dem größten Meister der Rhetorik und dem schlechtesten Poetaster in der Geschichte der Literatur entstand bereits in der Antike. Es verbreitete sich schnell durch die Vermittlung der Schulen und wurde zu einem festen Bestandteil der griechisch-römischen Kultur, der in der abendländischen Tradition von Generation zu Generation weitergegeben wurde. In diesem Beitrag werden die Grundzüge des Stereotyps von Cicero dem Dichter vorgestellt sowie dessen Einfluss auf die Klassische Philologie, die Geisteswissenschaften und die humanistische Kultur im Allgemeinen. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt wird darauf gelegt, zu den eigentlichen Wurzeln dieses Stereotyps vorzudringen. Darüber hinaus wird gezeigt, dass der besondere Fall von Cicero dem Dichter im Kontext eines breiteren Prozesses neu überlegt werden sollte, den wir in jüngster Zeit miterleben: den zunehmenden Zerfall der traditionellen Modelle, der, paradoxerweise, viele ansprechenden Möglichkeiten für die Entwicklung der Klassischen Philologie bietet, um unser Wissen über die Vergangenheit zu bereichern und neue bahnbrechende Forschungsperspektiven zu eröffnen.

Inventing and Deconstructing Epyllion: Some Thoughts on a Taxonomy of Greek Hexameter Poetry

description: ENGLISH In classical scholarship, the genre ‘epyllion’ is commonly considered to have been invented in the Hellenistic period in order to oppose large-scale archaic epic in terms of both form and content. However, recent research results demonstrate that those Greek texts which are usually regarded as epyllia today only came to be viewed as a coherent genre in the course of the 18th century, but did not constitute an independent genre in antiquity. This paper first analyses and discusses the various methodological problems concerned with the established taxonomy of this supposed genre. Subsequently, the history and destiny of the epyllion in the past two centuries is sketched and discussed as a case study of how the ‘invention’ of literary genres can model our perception of ancient texts, and how the ‘deconstruction’ of established generic taxonomies can help us to further develop the understanding of the ‘constructedness’ of ancient genres and of antiquity itself. GERMAN In der Klassischen Philologie wird in der Regel davon ausgegangen, dass die Gattung ‚Epyllion‘ im Hellenismus als formaler und inhaltlicher Gegenentwurf zur tradierten Großepik der Archaik erfunden wurde. Allerdings vermögen neuere Forschungsergebnisse zu zeigen, dass diejenigen griechischen Texte, die heutzutage üblicherweise als Epyllien betrachtet werden, erst seit dem 18. Jahrhundert als eine gattungsmäßige Einheit empfunden werden, während sich für die Antike eine eigenständige Gattung ‚Epyllion‘ nicht nachweisen lässt. In diesem Aufsatz werden in einem ersten Schritt die zahlreichen methodologischen Probleme, die sich aus der etablierten Taxonomie dieser angeblichen Gattung ergeben, analysiert und zur Diskussion gestellt. In einem zweiten Schritt werden Geschichte und Entwicklung des Epyllions im Laufe der vergangenen zwei Jahrhunderte skizziert, und es wird gezeigt, inwiefern die ‚Erfindung‘ literarischer Gattungen unsere Wahrnehmung antiker Texte beeinflusst und inwiefern die ‚Dekonstruktion‘ etablierter Gattungstaxonomien dazu dienen kann, die Konstruiertheit antiker Gattungen und unseres Antikebildes insgesamt zu verstehen.

description: A new water-soluble Cu(II) complex containing ranitidine drug and 1,10-phenanthroline was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductivity, spectroscopic and computational methods. In vitro human serum albumin (HSA)-interaction studies of Cu(II) complex were performed by employing fluorescence spectroscopy in combination with UV–vis absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopies. The results of fluorescence titration showed that Cu(II) complex strongly quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism with an intrinsic binding constant (6.05 × 104 M−1) at 286 K. The thermodynamic parameters ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS at different temperatures were calculated and suggested that the hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions play major roles in Cu(II) complex-HSA association. The displacement experiments using warfarin and ibuprofen as site I and II probes proved that the Cu(II) complex could bind to site I (subdomain IIA) of HSA. Finally, CD spectra indicated that the interaction of the Cu(II) complex with HSA leads to an increase in the α-helical content. The main result of this study was the finding that the binding affinity of the Cu(II) complex to HSA is three orders of magnitude stronger than that of ranitidine drug.

description: Three mononuclear CoIII complexes, [Co(L1tBu)(bdbp)]·2EtOH (1), [Co(L2tBu)(bdbp)] (2) and [Co(L3tBu)2]ClO4 (3) (where H2L1tBu=bis[{6-benzoyl-4-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl}benzi-midoyl]-1,2-ethane, H2L2tBu= bis[{6-benzoyl-4-tert-butyl-2-hydroxyphenyl}benzimidoyl]-1,3-propane, bdbpH = 4-tert-butyl-2,6-dibenzoylphenolandHL3tBu=2-{N-(4-amino-butyl)benzimidoyl}-6-benzoyl-4-tert-butylphenol),have been synthesized by one-pot condensation involving CoIIperchlorate, ethane-1,2-diamine, propane-1,3-diamine and butane-1,4-diamine.The Schiff bases, H2L2 and HL3, and 1-3have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductivity measurements, mass spectrometry, IR,electronic,1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and X-ray crystallography.In 1and 2, the tetradentate ONNO ligand wraps around cobalt in a rare βcis-conformation. Complex 3 possesses a tridentate NNO ligandleading to two seven-membered chelaterings in a fac-CoN4O2 octahedral configuration. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations provide a satisfactory description of the electronic properties of the new compounds. All the complexes are redox active and display the Co(III) – Co(II) couple in the potential range –0.6 to +0.3 V (vs. Ag/AgNO3).Interaction of the complexes with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) has been investigated by a spectrophotometric method and cyclic voltammetry. Based on these observations, an intercalative binding mode of DNA has been proposed. The order of their intrinsic DNA-binding constants Kb is Kb (1) <Kb(2) <Kb(3). The observed trend in the binding constant values is consistent with the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO molecular orbitals.

description: Under the hypothesis of gravitational redshift induced by the central supermassive black hole, and based on line widths and shifts of redward shifted H$β$ and Fe ii broad emission lines for a sample of 1973 $z<0.8$ SDSS DR5 quasars, we measured the virial factor in determining supermassive black hole masses, usually estimated by the reverberation mapping (RM) method or the relevant secondary methods. The virial factor had been believed to be from the geometric effect of broad-line region. The measured virial factor of Fe ii is larger than that of H$β$ for 98% of these quasars. The virial factor is very different from object to object and for different emission lines. For most of these quasars, the virial factor of H$β$ is larger than these averages that were usually used in determining the masses of black holes. There are three positive correlations among the measured virial factor of H$β$, dimensionless accretion rate and Fe ii/H$β$ line ratio. A positive three-dimensional correlation is found among these three quantities, and this correlation indicates that the virial factor is likely dominated by the dimensionless accretion rate and metallicity. A negative correlation is found between the redward shift of H$β$ and the scaled size of broad-line region radius in units of the gravitational radius of black hole. This negative correlation will be expected naturally if the redward shift of H$β$ is mainly from the gravity of black hole. Radiation pressure from accretion disk may be a significant contributor to the virial factor.
