title: The Equivalence and Difference between the English and Chinese Language Versions of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status

description: <b><i>Objective:</i></b> Chinese is the most commonly spoken language in the world. The availability of Chinese translations of assessment scales is useful for research in multi-ethnic and multinational studies. This study aimed to establish whether each of the Chinese translations (Mandarin, Hokkien, Teochew, and Cantonese) of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) achieved measurement equivalence to the English version. <b><i>Method:</i></b> Participants included 1856 ethnic Chinese, older adults. The RBANS was administered in the language/dialect according to the participants’ preference by interviewers who were fluent in that language/dialect. Multiple regression analysis was used to adjust for demographic and clinical differences between participants who spoke different languages/dialects. Equivalence (practical equivalence) was declared if the 90% confidence interval for the adjusted mean difference fell entirely within the pre-specified equivalence margin, ±.2 (±.4) standard deviations. <b><i>Results:</i></b> The delayed memory index was at least practically equivalent across languages. The Mandarin, Hokkien, and Teochew versions of the immediate memory, language, and total scale score were practically equivalent to the English version; the Cantonese version showed small differences from the English version. Equivalence was not established for the Hokkien and Teochew versions of the visuospatial/constructional index. The attention index was different across languages. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Data from the English and Chinese versions for the total scale score, language, delayed, and immediate memory indexes may be pooled for analysis. However, analysis of the attention and visuospatial/constructional indexes from the English and Chinese versions should include a covariate that represents the version in the statistical adjustment.

title: Petrogenesis and zircon LA-ICP-MS U–Pb dating of newly discovered Mesoarchean gneisses on the northern margin of the North China Craton

description: Geological mapping and zircon U–Pb laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) dating has identified a Mesoarchean (2857 ± 17 Ma) geological unit in the Luanjiajie area of the northern margin of the North China Craton, within the northern part of Liaoning Province, China. This unit is dominated by tonalitic and trondhjemite gneisses that form part of a typical tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) rock assemblage. These Mesoarchean gneisses are enriched in Na and depleted in K, yield K<sub>2</sub>O/Na<sub>2</sub>O ratios of 0.34–0.50, have Rittmann index (<i>σ</i>) values of 1.54–3.04, and are calc-alkaline. They have Eu<sub>N</sub>/Eu<sub>N</sub>* values of 0.77–1.20 (average of 1.03), indicating that these samples have negligible Eu anomalies, and yield high La<sub>N</sub>/Yb<sub>N</sub> values (4.92–23.12). These characteristics indicate that these Mesoarchean gneisses have fractionated rare earth element (REE) compositions that are enriched in the light REE (LREE) and depleted in the heavy REE (HREE), with steeply dipping chondrite-normalized REE patterns. These gneisses are also enriched in Rb, Th, K, Zr, and Hf, and are relatively depleted in Ta, Nb, P, and Ti. In summary, the magma that formed these tonalitic and trondhjemite gneisses was most likely derived from the partial melting of lower-crustal basaltic rocks during subduction. The timing of formation (2.85 Ga) of the Luanjiajie tonalite and trondhjemite gneisses probably represents the timing of initiation of plate tectonics within the LongGang Block during a SE-directed subduction event. The presence of inherited zircons with ages of &gt;3.0 Ga within the Luanjiajie gneisses suggests that this area may contain as yet undiscovered rocks that formed before 3.0 Ga.

title: New scheduling algorithms and digital tool for dynamic permutation flowshop with newly arrived order

description: The permutation flowshop scheduling problem has been widely studied under static environment by assuming machines and jobs are available at the time of zero. However, in reality, new orders arrive at production systems randomly, which leads to sheer complexity in scheduling due to the dynamic changes given various constraints of resources. Previous studies simply attach new orders directly after the existing schedule. Recent study shows mixing jobs of old and new orders could result in better scheduling solutions. But the heuristic algorithms are still lacking to implement the job mixing policy. To address this problem, a novel scheduling strategy is herein proposed by integrating match-up strategy and real-time strategy (MR) in order to make use of the remaining time before the old order due date. Based on the new MR strategy, eleven new heuristics are introduced with ten existing and one new priority rules. Computational results illustrate the effectiveness of the new heuristics. A digital tool is developed for ease of application of these heuristics, and it is validated by case studies.

title: Screening and identification of genes associated with flower senescence in tree peony (<i>Paeonia x suffruticosa</i> Andrews) using suppression subtractive hybridization

description: A short blossom period is a major obstacle for the tree peony industry. In order to preferentially isolate genes associated with flower senescence in the tree peony variety ‘Lu He Hong’, forward and reverse suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA libraries were constructed using senescent and blooming petals as testers, respectively. A total of 712 high-quality expressed sequence tags, representing 211 unigenes, were obtained, and 181 unigenes were annotated on the basis of sequence similarity with data in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s non-redundant database. In addition, 168 unigenes were functionally annotated using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases, and 44 unigenes were classified into 14 functional categories using the Clusters of Orthologous Groups. Most of the unigenes appear to be involved in cellular components, biological processes, and molecular functions, according to Gene Ontology analysis. Analysis of 23 chosen genes using quantitative reverse transcription PCR confirmed that their transcription levels were consistent with the results of the suppression subtractive hybridization libraries.

title: The criteria for optimal down-regulation with gonadotropin-releasing hormone-agonist: a retrospective cohort study

description: <i>Objective</i>: The objective of this study is to investigate whether the degree of down-regulation using GnRH-agonists is associated with pregnancy outcomes. <i>Study design</i>: This retrospective analysis was performed on 2708 cycles from 2514 patients undergoing down-regulation with the luteal phase long protocol. The serum oestradiol (E2D) and luteinising hormone (LHD) levels, the diameter of the largest follicle (DLFD) and the endometrial-thickness (ENTD) after down-regulation were used to evaluate the degree of down-regulation. One-way analysis of variance with the Bonferroni adjustment, the chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used for the statistical analysis. <i>Results</i>: The cumulative clinical pregnancy rates (CCPR) and the cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) were higher in the cycles with E2D &lt; 30 pg/ml (63.7%, OR = 1.405 (1.055–1.870) and 56.8%, OR = 1.372 (1.039–1.813)) and 30–55pg/ml (66.8%, OR = 1.439 (1.104–1.874) and 59.8%, OR = 1.397 (1.080–1.806)) than in those with E2D &gt; 55 pg/ml (62.8% and 54.7%). There was a trend towards lower CCPRs and CLBRs in the cycles with DLFD &gt; 10 mm or ENTD ≥ 6 mm; however, this difference was not significant. <i>Conclusion</i>: The degree of down-regulation is associated with ovarian response, pregnancy, and live birth. We propose the following criteria for optimal down-regulation: E2D 30-55 pg/ml, ENTD &lt; 6 mm, and no apparent ovarian activity.

title: Dark Times: nighttime satellite imagery as a detector of regional disparity and the geography of conflict

description: Satellite observations of night-time emitted lights describe a geography of the spatial distribution of resource use. Measurements of nocturnal lights enable the calculation of the total light emitted from each country of the world, and the light emitted per capita. We consider different groups of countries that share a land or maritime border and whose light per capita can be more equally/unequally distributed. A sharp difference in light per capita among neighboring countries reflects marked differences in economic welfare and in the extent of built environments. We demonstrate how this geography of nocturnal lights informs our understanding of the dynamics of conflict at the national and regional scale. We propose an index of regional disparity and test its ability to detect conflict dynamics by relating the index score with the occurrence and intensity of conflicts as classified by the Heidelberg Institute for International Conflict Research’s Conflict Barometer 2012 for the countries of the world. This method can be used to produce a global available temporal sampling of “cold spots” of disparity where conflicts are likely to occur. This will help foresee the identification and monitoring of regions of the world,which are becoming particularly unstable, assisting in the definition and execution of timely and proactive policies.
