Effects of soil moisture under plastic film mulching on the biological and yield characteristics of rice(Oryza sativa L.)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Pot culture was adopted in this experiment to study the effects of different levels of soil moisture on the growth and yield of rice under plastic film mulching condition.The results showed that the tiller produced later,and more slowly with less number,the plant height and leaf area of main functional leaves decreased,chlorophyll con-tent of main functional leaves increased,effective panicle ratio and harvest index were first enhanced and then de-pressed,the biological mass and yield of rice reduced gradually along with the decrease of soil moisture under plas-tic film mulching condition.Comparing with the treatment of traditional flooding(TF),the treatments of higher soil moisture(above field water capacity(FWC)±5%) under film mulching condition enhanced tillering,plant height,main functional leaves area,effective panicles,ripening grains rate,biological mass and yield of rice.At the begin-ning stage of tillering,it was necessary to keep enough soil moisture(above saturated water content SWC) for the rice filled under plastic film mulching dryland cultivation to enhance tillering;however,it was important to control the proper level of soil moisture [(FWC-80% FWC)±5%] to restrain invalid tillering at the later stage of tillering.At the booting stage,the soil moisture should be kept above SWC to increase the grains of panicle,while at blooming and filling stage,the soil moisture should be kept up to SWC to promote 1000-grain weight and to facilitate high yield of rice.
Intuitive robot tasks with augmented reality and virtual obstacles

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Today's industrial robots require expert knowledge and are not profitable for small and medium sized enterprises with their small lot sizes. It is our strong belief that more intuitive robot programming in an augmented reality robot work cell can dramatically simplify re-programming and leverage robotics technology in short production cycles. In this paper, we present a novel augmented reality system for defining virtual obstacles, specifying tool positions, and specifying robot tasks. We evaluate the system in a user study and, more specifically, investigate the input of robot end-effector orientations in general.
Elastic waves in polytype superlattices

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We study the shear horizontal and sagittal elastic waves in polytype superlattices, formed by the periodic repetition of three different constituent materials. We use the surface Green function matching method for N non-equivalent interfaces in order to obtain the dispersion relations and the density of states. In this way it is possible to obtain the spatial localization of the different modes. The influence of the variation of the thickness of the constituent materials on the dispersion relation of the elastic modes is studied.
Thoughts on Ethics in the Development of an Internet Medical Service System for Vulnerable Population

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The development of Internet medicine as a new medical treatment is highly valued around the world.Internet healthcare is mainly used in the United States, followed by countries in Europe, Africa, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific region.More than 60% of US residents communicate with their doctors via video, and some of them compare doctors via the internet.Most people in Europe and Japan use the internet to get medical information.Internet medical treatment, based on 5G technology, has significant advantages and economic benefits, but the medically vulnerable service also has some shortcomings.Based on this, this paper defines the concept of medically vulnerable population and discusses how the internet medical service system incorporates two medical ethics principles: the principle of nonmaleficence and the principle of justice.Furthermore, we examine the most recent data and future prospects of Internet medical and conclude that global Internet healthcare has significant development potential and market value, which can effectively relieve the pressure on vulnerable groups to seek medical care.So, the construction of the vulnerable population network service system has certain application value, and provides a new idea for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of vulnerable patients.
A Chinese short text classification method based on Bert sentence embedding integrating external statistical features

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The classification of Chinese short text suffers from the problem of feature sparsity. In this paper, we propose a Chinese short text classification method based on Bert sentence embedding integrating external statistical features (CSTCBERTSE-ESF). [Methods] The CSTC-BERTSE-ESF method uses BERT sentence embedding as the feature base, then concatenate domain features obtained from the domain corpus by statistical methods as the complete features of the classifier, and finally uses Random Forest and Softmax for the classification. [Results] To verify the effectiveness of the method, a series of experiments were conducted in this paper using THUNews with the Book dataset. The accuracy of the method reached 93.8% and 93% on the two datasets, respectively, and the F1 value of CSTC-BERTSE-ESF can be improved by 8.8% compared to CSTC-BERTSE on the book dataset. [Limitation] Due to the limitation of computing power, the domain corpora used in this paper are small, and the domain features will be more accurate if the capacity of the corpus is increased. [Conclusion] The fusion of external domain features can effectively improve the classification of Chinese short texts, especially the data with strong domain knowledge.
Service factors causing delay in specialist assessment for TIA and minor stroke: a qualitative study of GP and patient perspectives

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective To understand how service factors contribute to delays to specialist assessment following transient ischaemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke. Design Qualitative study using semistructured interviews, analysis by constant comparison. Setting Leicester, UK. Participants Patients diagnosed with TIA or minor stroke, at hospital admission or in a rapid-access TIA clinic (n=42), general practitioners (GPs) of participating patients if they had been involved in the patients’ care (n=18). Data Accounts from patients and GPs of factors contributing to delay following action to seek help from a healthcare professional (HCP). Results The following categories of delay were identified. First, delay in assessment in general practice following contact with the service; this related to availability of same day appointments, and the role of the receptionist in identifying urgent cases. Second, delays in diagnosis by the HCP first consulted, including GPs, optometrists, out-of-hours services, walk-in centres and the emergency department. Third, delays in referral after a suspected diagnosis; these included variable use of the ABCD 2 (Age, Blood pressure, Clinical features, Duration, Diabetes) risk stratification score and referral templates in general practice, and referral back to the patients’ GP in cases where he/she was not the first HCP consulted. Conclusions Primary and emergency care providers need to review how they can best handle patients presenting with symptoms that could be due to stroke or TIA. In general practice, this may include receptionist training and/or triage by a nurse or doctor. Mechanisms need to be established to enable direct referral to the TIA clinic when patients whose symptoms have resolved present to other agencies. Further work is needed to improve diagnostic accuracy by non-specialists.

Trial in progress: A phase I study of AMG 199, a half-life extended bispecific T-cell engager (HLE BiTE) immune therapy, targeting MUC17 in patients with gastric and gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) cancer.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

TPS4649 Background: Prognosis for advanced G/GEJ cancer is poor and new treatment modalities are urgently needed. MUC17 is a transmembrane protein overexpressed and differentially localized on the cell membrane of G/GEJ cancer cells; expression and localization in normal cells is much more limited. AMG 199 is an HLE BiTE immune therapy designed to engage CD3-positive T cells to MUC17-positive G/GEJ cancer cells, mediate redirected tumor cell lysis, and induce T cell activation and proliferation. A clinical trial is being conducted for this novel and targeted immune therapy agent in patients with MUC17-positive G/GEJ cancer. Methods: This is a first-in-human phase 1, open-label, dose escalating study (NCT04117958) evaluating AMG 199 in patients with MUC17-positive G/GEJ cancer. Key eligibility criteria include metastatic or locally advanced unresectable MUC17-positive (as determined by IHC using a central laboratory assay) gastric adenocarcinoma or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma ineligible for curative surgery and relapsed or treatment-refractory following ≥2 lines including a platinum, a fluoropyrimidine, taxane or irinotecan, and an approved vascular endothelial growth factor receptor antibody or tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Patients eligible for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) directed therapy should have received an approved HER2 targeting antibody. Primary endpoints include: dose-limiting toxicities, treatment-emergent or -related adverse events, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG), and laboratory changes. Secondary endpoints include: pharmacokinetics of AMG 199, objective response, duration of response, time to progression, 6-month and 1-year progression-free survival, and 1-year and 2-year overall survival. The dose exploration (n = 30) will estimate the maximum tolerated dose and/or recommended phase 2 dose; this will be followed by a dose expansion (n = 40) and evaluation of the benefit/risk profile of AMG 199. The study began enrolling patients in January 2020 and is ongoing. This is the first clinical trial to investigate MUC17 as a potential anti-tumor target.

FIRE: A Finely Integrated Risk Evaluation Methodology for Life-Critical Embedded Systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Life-critical embedded systems, including medical devices, are becoming increasingly interconnected and interoperable, providing great efficiency to the healthcare ecosystem. These systems incorporate complex software that plays a significantly integrative and critical role. However, this complexity substantially increases the potential for cybersecurity threats, which directly impact patients’ safety and privacy. With software continuing to play a fundamental role in life-critical embedded systems, maintaining its trustworthiness by incorporating fail-safe modes via a multimodal design is essential. Comprehensive and proactive evaluation and management of cybersecurity risks are essential from the very design to deployment and long-term management. In this paper, we present FIRE, a finely integrated risk evaluation methodology for life-critical embedded systems. Security risks are carefully evaluated in a bottom-up approach from operations-to-system modes by adopting and expanding well-established vulnerability scoring schemes for life-critical systems, considering the impact to patient health and data sensitivity. FIRE combines a static risk evaluation with runtime dynamic risk evaluation to establish comprehensive risk management throughout the lifecycle of the life-critical embedded system. We demonstrate the details and effectiveness of our methodology in systematically evaluating risks and conditions for risk mitigation with a smart connected insulin pump case study. Under normal conditions and eight different malware threats, the experimental results demonstrate effective threat mitigation by mode switching with a 0% false-positive mode switching rate.
Batch and Fed-Batch Production of Betalains by Red Beet (Beta vulgaris) Hairy Roots in a Bubble Column Reactor

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Hairy root cultures from red beet (Beta vulgaris L.), which could be used for the commercial production of biologically active betalain pigments, were cultivated in a 3 L bubble column bioreactor in batch mode with various rates of air supply. Both the growth of the roots and betalain volumetric yields were highest (12.7 g accumulated dry biomass/L and 330.5 mg/ L, respectively) with a 10 L/h (0.083 vvm) air supply. The air flow rate also influenced the betacyanins/betaxanthins ratios in the cultures. Growth and betalains production were then examined in two fed-batch regimes (with a 10 L/h air supply), in which nutrient medium was fed just once or on five occasions, designated FBI and FBII, respectively. The root mass accumulation was increased in the FBI feeding regime (to 13.3 g accumulated dry biomass/ L), while in FBII the betalains content was ca. 11% higher (15.1 mg betacyanins/g dry weight and 14.0 mg betaxanthins/g dry weight) than in the most productive batch regime. Data on the time course of the utilization of major components in the medium during both operational modes were also collected. The implications of the information acquired are discussed, and the performance of the hairy roots (in terms of both growth and betalains production) in the bubble column reactor and previously investigated cultivation systems is compared.

Prevalence of CDKN2A gene deletion in Breast Cancer: An Indian experience

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Prevalence of CDKN2A gene deletion in Breast Cancer: An Indian experience Kazi Mahnaz M.1, Trivedi Pina J.2*, Patel Dharmesh M.3, Varma Priya K.4 1Junior Research Assistant, Cytogenetics Lab, Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute 2Senior Scientific Officer & Head, Cytogenetics Lab, Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute 3Research Assistant, Cytogenetics Lab, Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute 4 Junior Research Fellow, Cytogenetics Lab, Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute *Corresponding author E-mail IDs: mahnaz.kazi@gcriindia.org; pina.trivedi@gcriindia.org, dharmesh.patel@gcriindia.org, priya.varma@gcriindia.org Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, found to be associated with mutations in various genes. CDKN2A is one such tumor suppressor gene which is altered in a wide range of human neoplasms and most frequently shown to play a role in breast cancer. It may be used in the development of a targeted therapy that could result in improved patient prognostication and outcome. In the present study the frequency of CDKN2A gene deletion and its relationship with clinicopathological features were examined in breast cancer patients. Method: Histopathologically confirmed breast cancer patients were included for CDKN2A gene deletion study by Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) method. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissues were used for the assays. A total of 30 breast cancer patients were included. FISH was performed using P16 (CDKN2A) deletion probe kit. Images were captured by Epi-fluorescence microscope. Result: In breast cancer patients, CDKN2A gene was deleted in 22 patients (73%) with 17 hemizygous and 5 homozygous deletions, while 8 patients (27%) had normal intact form. CDKN2A gene deletion in breast cancer was found to be significantly inversely associated with tumor grade, presence of perineural invasion, perinodal extension and vascular permeation. Summary and Conclusion: CDKN2A gene deletion was associated with absence of known worse prognosticators indicating that the gene expression and not loss was linked to adverse tumor parameters. Hence, detection of CDKN2A gene deletion could help to stratify the specific subsets of patients into high risk and low risk groups. CDKN2A gene deletion can also help as the pre-screening tool prior to gene evaluation tests.
Conduction time of the pulse through the brain in increased intracranial pressure

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

It is well known that the cerebrospinal fluid pressure fluctuates with the heart beat. There are a few reports concerning the use of the form and amplitude of the CSF pulse in presupposing intracranial compliance but little is known about how the impulse of the CSF pulse is transmitted through the brain tissue. In order to determine whether the pulse conduction time from the heart to the parietal epidural region presupposes intracranial compliance or not, the following experiments were performed on 13 dogs.
Willingness to Pay for Traceable Meat Attributes: A Meta-analysis

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Several researches evaluated consumers’ Willingness To Pay (WTP) for each meat traceable attribute, generating a great deal of information in this regard, although specific to the conditions of each study. In light of this, WTP estimates for traceability characteristics differ across the literature, leading sometimes to contrasting interpretations. Seeking a full, meaningful statistical description of the findings of a collection of studies, the meta-analysis allows us to analyze consistency across studies and control for factors thought to drive variations in WTP estimates. The meta-analysis has been conducted using 23 studies that, in aggregate, report 88 valuations for WTP. Our results, aside from releasing unconditional information on the WTP for single meat traceable attributes, show how certain study-specific characteristics, like the base price and the country where the study has been conducted, have a significant impact on WTP estimates.
Effect of communicating genetic risk of type 2 diabetes and wearable technologies on wearable device-measured behavioural outcomes in East Asians: protocol of a randomised controlled trial

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction The communication of information about the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) alone has not been associated with changes in habitual behaviours among individuals of European ancestry. In contrast, the use of wearable devices that monitor physical activity (PA) has been associated with behavioural changes in some studies. It is uncertain whether risk communication might enhance the effects of wearable devices. We aim to assess the effects of communicating genetic risk for T2D alone or in combination with wearable device functions on wearable device-measured PA among overweight or obese East Asians. Methods and analysis In a parallel group, randomised controlled trial, 355 overweight or obese East Asian individuals aged 40–60 years are allocated into one of three groups: one control and two intervention groups. Blood samples will be used for estimation of T2D genetic risk and analysis of metabolic risk markers. Genetic risk of T2D will be estimated based on 113 single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with T2D among East Asians. All three groups receive a Fitbit device. Both intervention groups will receive T2D genetic risk estimates along with lifestyle advice, but one of the intervention groups additionally uses Fitbit’s step goal setting and prompt functions. Questionnaires and physical measurements are administered at baseline, immediately after intervention delivery, and 6 and 12 months post intervention. The primary outcome is time spent in moderate-to-vigorous PA from the Fitbit, which will be assessed at baseline, immediately post intervention, 12 months post intervention and at 6-month follow-up. Secondary outcomes include other wearable device-measured parameters, sedentary time, and sleep, blood pressure, metabolic risk markers, hand grip strength, self-reported PA, fruit and vegetable consumption, smoking, and psychological variables. Between-group differences in the continuous and categorical variables collected at baseline will be examined using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and χ 2 tests, respectively. A series of linear mixed effects models with fixed effects of time, group and interaction between time and group will be performed, with adjustment for potential confounders. Ethics and dissemination The study protocol has undergone review and received approval from the ethics committee of the University of Hong Kong. Findings from our trial will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed research journals and presented at international academic conferences.
