Research on Bitcoin design and explore Bitcoin mining techniques

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The basic principle of a digital currency system such as the Bitcoin, allows secured monetary transaction through an insecure public network without going through a financial institution. Despite the inherent weakness of the public network, this self-governing financial system remains operational through its strong security design. This project will examine the Bitcoin design and incorporate its security component into the NtuCoin system, which caters to the environment of an educational institute. The components examined are namely, Wallets, Transactions, Block-chain, Mining, Network. The wallet is the foundation of NtuCoin system, which stores the mandatory digital keys that locks or unlocks funds in the block-chain. Digital keys stored within a client wallet, specifically public and private key pairs, were generated using the Elliptic Curve Cryptography algorithm. The secp256k1 curve was chosen for its special property of non-randomness, which allows more efficient computation as compared to curves with random structure [1]. According to Satoshi (2009), transactions within the NtuCoin system can be visualized as a chain of digital signatures. These Signatures were implemented to ensure the integrity of legitimate transactions. In NtuCoin, signatures were obtained through multiple cryptography algorithms such as SHA256, RIPEMD-160, and ECDSA. Every newly generated transaction within the network will be checked against a list of criteria for their integrity, and invalid transactions that violates the criteria will be discarded by all nodes. The mining component periodically aggregates transactions into a block (container), and then timestamp it as a form of proof that these transactions exist within the network at a particular time. Satoshi (2009) suggested a proof-of-work system similar to Adam Back’s Hashcash, which states that a denial of service counter measure can be achieved through increasing the difficulty for block creation and then chaining these blocks in a timing sequential fashion. Therefore, the block-chain is well known as the main security feature in a digital currency network. Any malicious intent on changing a particular block record in the chain would require a complete computation of the entire blocks, which is computationally infeasible. It is evident from the research that NtuCoin satisfies the fundamental requirements of most security models that ensure the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Confidentiality of the data within a node’s client is attained by encrypting the wallets with a user defined secret key. In addition, the Integrity of transactions flowing within the network is ensured through the usage of intensives digital signature algorithms. Furthermore, high availability is enabled through the highly distributed nature of a peer to peer environment.
Abstract WP376: Candidates for Long Term Anticoagulation Among Hospitalized Patients With Atrial Fibrillation in United States

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Context: Long-term anticoagulation has been consistently shown to reduce the rate of ischemic stroke among selected patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). There is paucity of data regarding number of eligible patients with AFib in United States who could benefit from long-term anticoagulation. Objective: To provide national estimate of eligible hospitalized patients with AFib who could benefit from long-term anticoagulation. Methods: We analyzed data from Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) for the year 2016. NIS represents the largest all payer nationally representative dataset of hospitalizations in United States. We identified patients with primary or secondary diagnosis of AFib who were aged 75 years or greater, women aged 65-74 years, men aged 65-74 years with history of ischemic stroke/transient cerebral ischemia( TIAs), and patients aged 18-64 years with AF and ischemic stroke/TIAs (CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or greater) who were hospitalized and discharged alive to provide national estimates. Results: A total of 871,391 patients (163,236 aged between 18-64 years, 216,645 aged between 65-74 years, and 491,107 aged 75 years or greater) were admitted with a diagnosis of AFib in 2016. The number of patients with atrial fibrillation who also had history of ischemic stroke/TIAs was 38,051 (4.37%). Of the Afib patients, aged 75 years or greater, 25,050 (2.87 %) had a history of ischemic stroke/TIAs. Of the patients aged 65-74 years, 3,534 women (0.41%) and 4,341 men (0.50%) had history of ischemic stroke/TIAs. Also, there were 91,364 (10.48%) women between age 65-74 years who had AFib but did not have stroke.5,117 (=n,0.59%) patients between age 18-64 years had AFib and history of ischemic stroke/TIAs. The total number of potentially eligible patients with AFib who could benefit from the anticoagulation (based on CHA2DS2-VASc) was 564,030(65% of all patients admitted with AFib). Conclusions: Over half a million hospitalized patients with atrial fibrillation who are under medical care can benefit from long-term anticoagulation. Most are stroke free at time of hospitalization in United States and thus associated death and disability from new strokes can be prevented by timely initiation of long-term anticoagulation.
The Eocene Juncitarsus – its phylogenetic position and significance for the evolution and higher-level affinities of flamingos and grebes

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The Early Eocene Juncitarsus was described as one of the earliest fossil flamingos, and played a critical role in the hypothesis of a charadriiform origin of Phoenicopteriformes. It has been noted that phoenicopteriform affinities of Juncitarsus conflict with the recently proposed sister group relationship between flamingos and the morphologically very divergent grebes (Podicipediformes), but a detailed assessment of the evolutionary significance of Juncitarsus in light of this new hypothesis has not yet been performed. Here, the affinities of Juncitarsus are reviewed, and its position as sister group of the clade (Phoenicopteriformes + Podicipediformes) is affirmed. The osteology of Juncitarsus suggests that swimming adaptations evolved in the stem lineage of this latter clade after the divergence of Juncitarsus. Charadriiformes remain among the candidate taxa for the closest extant relatives of flamingos and grebes, but more data are needed for well-supported phylogenetic hypotheses. Le Juncitarsus de l'Éocène inférieur est l'un des flamants fossiles les plus précoces ; il a joué un rôle critique dans l'hypothèse de l'origine charadriiforme des Phœnicoptériformes. Il a été remarqué que les affinités phœnicoptériformes de Juncitarsus sont en désaccord avec la relation récemment proposée de groupe frère entre les flamants et les grèbes (Podicipédiformes), un groupe morphologiquement très différents. Néanmoins, une évaluation détaillée de la signification de Juncitarsus n'a pas encore été effectuée. Les affinités de Juncitarsus sont ici revues et sa position en tant que groupe frère du clade (Phœnicoptériformes + Podicipédiformes) est affirmée. L'ostéologie de Juncitarsus suggère que les adaptations à la natation ont évolué dans la lignée de ce clade après la divergence de Juncitarsus. Les Charadriiformes restent parmi les taxons candidats pour être considérés comme les plus proches apparentés vivants des flamants et grèbes, mais des données plus nombreuses sont nécessaires pour des hypothèses phylogénétiques mieux étayées.
Effects of nicotine administration via a sublingual tablet on arousal and verbal ability in non-smokers

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Tobacco smoking or nicotine administration on its own can influence cognitive task performance. This study examined the effects of acute nicotine administration on verbal task performance and a physiological index of arousal. Healthy non-smoking participants received either a 2 mg sublingual nicotine tablet or placebo. Participants next completed various verbal tasks while heart rate recordings were taken concurrently. Nicotine increased heart rate relative to a pre-administration baseline period to indicate that the new method of nicotine administration increased cardiovascular arousal. Nicotine was associated with reduced accuracy in a verbal matching task and reduced accuracy and increased reaction time in an anagram task, but had no effect on performance during an analogy or verbal fluency task. The data suggest that nicotine naﶥ individuals are unlikely to gain any benefit to their verbal ability from the single acute intake of nicotine, such as that obtained from cigarette smoking or by using nicotine replacement therapy products.

NICU Care in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: 5 Years of Changes

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Geographic circumstances: I was on duty in the NICU of a flooded downtown New Orleans hospital during Hurricane Katrina and returned to the NICU when it reopened.

About the author: I am a professor of pediatrics and the division head of neonatology at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans. With 7 dedicated and resilient colleagues, I practice neonatology at 4 area hospitals and am active in medical education. I spent 4 days in a flooded downtown New Orleans hospital immediately after Hurricane Katrina and have been involved in the evolution of hospital, local, and statewide hurricane-preparedness efforts as they relate to NICU patients.

When I entered University Hospital on August 28, 2005, I did not realize how much the events of the next few days would change my life both personally and professionally. As division head of our 12-person Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) neonatology group, I was assigned to be the in-house attending at University Hospital; several of my colleagues were similarly moving into 1 of the other 8 local hospitals in which we provided neonatology care. University Hospital was the site for maternal-child services of the modern-day Charity Hospital, a series of hospitals that had survived various floods and fires over the years to provide indigent care in New Orleans dating back to 1736. The following morning, August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina would arrive and bring a massive storm surge that would breach an inferior levee system. More than 80% of New Orleans was covered by floodwater, including the area surrounding University Hospital.

Katrina's wrath resulted in more than 1800 deaths and more than $80 billion in damage, and the greater New Orleans area was the site for most of these losses, including more than 700 deaths. The experiences and losses of thousands …

Production of leptonium in heavy quarkonium decays

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Lepton pairs with opposite charges can form bound states known as “leptonium” through quantum electrodynamic interactions. Heavy quarkonia such as J/ψ are abundantly produced at facilities like BESIII and the future Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF). In this work, we investigate leptonium production in heavy quarkonium decays, specifically focusing on the processes Q⟶(l1+l2−)[n]+γ (l1,2=τ, μ, e) and Q⟶(l1+l2−)[n]+l1−l2+. Here, Q denotes the heavy quarkonium J/ψ or ϒ, while n=S10 or S13 corresponds to para-leptonium and ortho-leptonium, respectively. With an annual production of 3.4×1012 J/ψ events at STCF, there is significant potential to observe positronium (e+e−), muonium (μ+e−), and dimuonium (μ+μ−). In particular, the ortho-dimuonium (μ+μ−)[3S1] may be discovered at the future STCF, with an inclusive branching fraction of Br(J/ψ⟶(μ+μ−)[3S1]+X)=1.5×10−12.
Table_8_Developing an advanced diagnostic model for hepatocellular carcinoma through multi-omics integration leveraging diverse cell-death patterns.xlsx

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Introduction<p>Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), representing more than 80% of primary liver cancer cases, lacks satisfactory etiology and diagnostic methods. This study aimed to elucidate the role of programmed cell death-associated genes (CDRGs) in HCC by constructing a diagnostic model using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data.</p>Methods<p>Six categories of CDRGs, including apoptosis, necroptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, ferroptosis, and cuproptosis, were collected. RNA-seq data from blood-derived exosomes were sourced from the exoRBase database, RNA-seq data from cancer tissues from the TCGA database, and scRNA-seq data from the GEO database. Subsequently, we intersected the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the HCC cohort from exoRBase and TCGA databases with CDRGs, as well as DEGs obtained from single-cell datasets. Candidate biomarker genes were then screened using clinical indicators and a machine learning approach, resulting in the construction of a seven-gene diagnostic model for HCC. Additionally, scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptome sequencing (stRNA-seq) data of HCC from the Mendeley data portal were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of these seven key genes and their association with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Finally, we validated the expression of key molecules in tissues and blood-derived exosomes through quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry experiments.</p>Results<p>Collectively, we obtained a total of 50 samples and 104,288 single cells. Following the meticulous screening, we established a seven-gene diagnostic model for HCC, demonstrating high diagnostic efficacy in both the exoRBase HCC cohort (training set: AUC = 1; testing set: AUC = 0.847) and TCGA HCC cohort (training set: AUC = 1; testing set: AUC = 0.976). Subsequent analysis revealed that HCC cluster 3 exhibited a higher stemness index and could serve as the starting point for the differentiation trajectory of HCC cells, also displaying more abundant interactions with other cell types in the microenvironment. Notably, key genes TRIB3 and NQO1 displayed elevated expression levels in HCC cells. Experimental validation further confirmed their elevated expression in both tumor tissues and blood-derived exosomes of cancer patients. Additionally, stRNA analysis not only substantiated these findings but also suggested that patients with high TRIB3 and NQO1 expression might respond more favorably to ICB therapy.</p>Conclusions<p>The seven-gene diagnostic model demonstrated remarkable accuracy in HCC screening, with TRIB3 emerging as a promising diagnostic tool and therapeutic target for HCC.</p>
Remote sensing and sig contribution for the identification of the fracturation influence on the drainage network architecture in the High Ziz River basin, Central High Atlas, Morocco

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract This study aims to contribute to a better estimation of the density of fractures likely to favour the drainage of surface water in the High Ziz River (HZR) basin. The method adopted consists of the use of different airborne image processing techniques (filtering, enhancement and slope analysis) which allow a good discrimination of image discontinuities (lineaments) that can then be used for producing lineament maps. The influence of these lineaments on the underground flow is then studied. Indeed, it was possible to extract the lineament network, following the exploitation of remote sensing and an objectively completed analog analysis using the PCI Geomatica LINE module and its directional filters (Sobel directional filters by the ACP method), and to extract the hydrographic network of the HZR basin, using the ArcHydro tool. After superimposing these data, their thematic maps (of the lineament and hydrographic network) were developed. In addition, this comparison of the two hydrographic networks and lineament maps showed us very varied flow directions influenced by geological structures, particularly fracturing. The topography of the region also has a secondary impact on flows through the presence of slopes generally oriented towards the SE of the basin. The correlation of the results with the different directions of the orders of the hydrographic network allowed us to identify the potential effects of lineaments on the orientations of surface water circulation. In addition to these results, the realization of the Rose diagram indicated that the dominant trend in lineaments is N90–45N° (NE–SW).
Information technology management and service performance management capabilities: an empirical study of the service supply chain management process

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The dynamic capabilities view is invoked to hypothesize relationships among the service supply chain management (SSCM) process capabilities using the information technology management (ITM) process capability. This study argues that ITM will have an impact on the service performance management (SPM) process capability only when it works through mediators and demonstrates the impact by using the framework of SSCM process capabilities. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a survey using quantitative data collection to empirically test the research framework. The proposed framework and hypotheses were tested using a mail-in survey of the service industry in Thailand. The statistical analysis of data acquired from the survey was performed using structural equation modeling. Findings The results support the existence of a mediating role for the ITM process affecting the SPM process. This study identifies the role of ITM and emphasizes the urgent need for firms to embed other mediating factors into their approaches to achieve SPM process goals in the service supply chain context. Research limitations/implications The study offers important implications to researchers as well as practitioners by highlighting the significance of mediating roles for ITM to achieve SPM process. Originality/value This research is among the initial attempts to argue the impact of ITM on SPM through mediators.
The impact of scheduling pediatric operating room sessions

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The need for specialized anesthesia equipment for pediatric patients and the preference for audiovisual separation of pediatric and adult patients in the hospital can be addressed by separating pediatric surgeries in one or more fully equipped operating rooms (ORs). Although this separation benefits the equipment use, the planning of specialized anesthesiologists and the patient experience, its impact on patient scheduling has barely been studied. The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility of allocating OR sessions to pediatric patients with regards to keeping the access times of both adult and pediatric patients within acceptable limits and with regards to the change in several operational performance measures. Introducing these separate pediatric sessions obviously decreases the scheduling flexibility. The question is whether this decrease is acceptable compared to the benefits the separation offers. We assess several scenarios using a data-driven simulation model, based on a real academic hospital setting. The results show that the percentage of patients that are served within their due time is only slightly affected when looking at adult and pediatric patients together, but this percentage drops by 13 (s = 6.22) percentage points if we isolate the performance of the pediatric patients. This decrease for some disciplines can be as large as 69 percentage points. Therefore, from a planning point of view, it is advised to only organize pediatric sessions for the disciplines whose performance drop is acceptable. Alternatively, for future research, the capacity allocation could be optimized for each discipline individually to account for the discipline’s characteristics. Moreover, studies on the difference in patient experience would complement this study.
Preparation of core-shell-like Bi2WO6/BiOCl heterojunction with excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Constructing a ‘Z-scheme’ heterojunction is an effective method for improving photocatalyst activity. Core-shell-like Z-scheme bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6)/bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) heterojunction was synthesized through a two-step method. The arbutus-like bismuth oxychloride microsphere core was first gained by a solvothermal method. Then the Bi2WO6 nanosheet shell was in situ on the surface of the BiOCl microsphere through another solvothermal process. The bismuth tungstate/bismuth oxychloride heterojunction had a much better photocatalytic performance than that of the single bismuth tungstate, which was due to the enlarged BET surface area, enhanced light absorption, and photocarriers’ migration. The photocatalytic mechanism of the bismuth tungstate/bismuth oxychloride heterojunction was also proposed.

High-power wide-bandwidth TRAPATT circuits

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

TRAPATT devices show great potential in the area of pulsed amplifiers for phased array radar systems. In order to simultaneously achieve high peak power and large bandwidths, however, careful attention must be focused on the circuit needs of these devices. General circuit conditions consistent with the requirements of high peak power and broad bandwidth are described in this paper. The operation of two especially promising circuits-lumped element and coupled bar-are discussed and the results presented. Finally, it is shown that class-C operation, aside from its advantage of hardware simplification, offers significant bandwidth enhancement.
