Nonlinear Maps Preserving the Jordan Triple *-Product on Factor von Neumann Algebras

Let A and B be two factor von Neumann algebras. For A, B ∈ A, define by [A, B]* = AB - BA* the skew Lie product of A and B. In this article, it is proved that a bijective map Φ : A→ β satisfies Φ([[A,B]*,C]*) = [[Φ(A),Φ(B)]*,Φ(C)]* for all A, B, C ∈ A if and only if Φ is a linear *-isomorphism, or a conjugate linear *-isomorphism, or the negative of a linear *-isomorphism, or the negative of a conjugate linear *-isomorphism.
Global Existence and Blow-up for Semilinear Wave Equations with Variable Coefficients

The authors consider the critical exponent problem for the variable coefficients wave equation with a space dependent potential and source term. For sufficiently small data with compact support, if the power of nonlinearity is larger than the expected exponent, it is proved that there exists a global solution. Furthermore, the precise decay estimates for the energy, L~2 and L~(p+1) norms of solutions are also established. In addition, the blow-up of the solutions is proved for arbitrary initial data with compact support when the power of nonlinearity is less than some constant.
An Isoindigo-Based “Double-Cable” Conjugated Polymer for Single-Component Polymer Solar Cells

An isoindigo-based "double-cable" conjugated polymer bearing perylene bisimide side units was developed via Stille polymerization for application in single-component polymer solar cells, in which a power conversion efficiency of 1% with broad photo-response from 300 nm to 800 nm was achieved. There is no evidence of large phase separation confirmed by AFM images and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The space charge limit current measurements and light intensity dependence measurements indicate that the low electron mobility and the significant recombination of photogenerated charge carriers in active layer mainly account for the low performance of our solar cells. Our results suggest that these "double-cable" are promising candidates for use in single-component polymer solar cells with NIR photoresponse.
Accurate two-degree-of-freedom discrete-time current controller design for PMSM using complex vectors

Properties of the current controller are essential for permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drives, but the conventional continuous-time current controller cannot fully decouple the cross-coupling terms when applied in the digital processor. Its performance is related closely to the rotational speed. To improve the performance of the current loop, the direct design method in the discrete-time domain is adopted using the accurate discrete-time complex vector model. An integrated accurate hold-equivalent discrete model for PMSM is derived considering the difference between the output of the voltage source inverter and the back electro-motive force. Then an accurate two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) current controller with a third-order closed-loop transfer function is designed. The 2DOF controller has more freedom in pole placement, and two schemes with a different cancelled pole-zero pair are investigated. Analysis is conducted by the robust root locus method via the complex vector root locus and sensitivity functions, showing properties in disturbance rejection and sensitivity to parameter variation of two schemes. Both schemes have their own advantages. Finally, the dynamic performance and flexibility of the proposed current controller is verified on a 2.5-kW PMSM test bench.
Ultrasound features of extranodal extension in the metastatic cervical lymph nodes of papillary thyroid cancer: a case-control study

Objective: Extranodal extension in cervical lymph nodes is an important risk factor for the progression and prognosis of papillary thyroid cancer. The purpose of this study was to identify the common and characteristic preoperative ultrasonography features that are associated with the pathologic extranodal extension of metastatic papillary thyroid carcinoma. Methods: We retrospectively assessed and compared clinicopathologic and ultrasound features between 60 papillary thyroid cancer patients with extranodal extension and 120 control patients with papillary thyroid cancer without extranodal extension. Results: With respect to the pathological N stage and clinicopathologic features, N1b stage papillary thyroid carcinomas were more frequently found in patients who were extranodal extension-positive, in comparison with those who were extranodal extension-negative (78.3% vs. 63.3%, P=0.043). Extranodal extension was detected most frequently in level VI cervical lymph nodes (48.7%). In our univariate analysis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma, cervical lymph nodes with extranodal extension showed higher incidences of node matting, microcalcification, cystic area, aspect ratio <2, and larger diameter than those without extranodal extension (all P<0.05). Our multivariate analysis demonstrated that node matting and cystic area were independent risk factors for the presence of extranodal extension [odds ratio (OR): 4.751, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.212~18.626, P=0.025; OR: 2.707, 95% CI: 1.127~6.502, P=0.026]. Conclusions: Common ultrasound features may indicate the presence of extranodal extension in patients with metastatic cervical lymph nodes of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Research on the width of filling body in gob-side entry retaining with high-water materials

To determine the filling body's width along the gob-side remained roadway which is underneath the gob, the authors analyzed the interaction mechanism between the roof and the supporting body along the remained roadway, based on the elastic thin plate theory of the stope roof. The stress state and mechanical response of the filling body along the remained roadway were studied. Specifically, firstly, the supporting pressure of the coal pillar which is on one side of the gob-side remained roadway was deduced. Also, an equation that is used to calculate the width of the balance area in the stress limit state was acquired. Then, an equation that is used to calculate the roof cutting force on one side of the supporting body was obtained. By using FLAC3D, the authors investigated the displacement field and stress field response laws of rock masses around the roadway with different filling body's widths. The results show that with the filling body's width increasing, the supporting ability of the filling body increases. Meanwhile, the rock mass displacement around the roadway and the filling body deformation decrease. The better the filling body's supporting effect is, the higher the roof cutting force will be. When the filling body's width is larger than 3.0 m, its internal bearing ability becomes stable and the filling body's deformation became non-apparent. Finally, analysis shows that the filling body's width should be 2.5 m. Furthermore, the authors conducted field tests in the supply roadway 1204, using high-water materials and acquired expected outcomes.
Technical scheme and application of pressure-relief gas extraction in multi-coal seam mining region

A pressure relief gas extraction technical model of a typical mining area is proposed based on coal and gas simultaneous extraction theory. Flac~(3D) was employed to model vertical stress and displacement contour plot characteristics of non-outburst coal seam (No. 4) on top of outburst coal seam (No. 2) along strike and incline directions. Field investigations were also conducted to verify the scientific nature of the simulation. The results demonstrate that gas pressure in No. 2 coal seam dropped to approximately 0.55 MPa in the pressure relief multi-coal seam. The highest expansion rate of the coal mine reached up to 2.58%. The pressure-relief angle was 76° along the incline direction and 60° along the strike direction. As the expansion rate and pressure-relief angle increased and the gas pressure decreased, a large amount of gas flowed into the gob of No. 4 from No. 2 coal seam and was later discharged through specific gas pipes, which eliminated No. 2 outburst risks. This study resulted in positive outcomes in that gas extraction time was reduced by 13.5 days, due to pressure relief, and drilling work load was reduced by 0.1161 m/t coal. This method ensures that gas is discharged from the outburst coal seam quickly and safely, demonstrating that the proposed technical model of pressure-relief gas extraction is effective in a multi-coal seam region.
Gas emission quantity prediction and drainage technology of steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams

Gas emissions of workfaces in steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams differ from those under normal geological conditions, which usually feature a high gas concentration and a large emission quantity. This study took the Wudong coal mine in Xinjiang province of China as a typical case. The gas occurrence of the coal seam and the pressure-relief range of the surrounding rock (coal) were studied by experiments and numerical simulations. Then, a new method to calculate the gas emission quantity for this special geological condition was provided. Based on the calculated quantity, a further gas drainage plan, as well as the evaluation of it with field drainage data, was finally given. The results are important for engineers to reasonably plan the gas drainage boreholes of steeply inclined and extremely thick coal seams.
Stability influence factors analysis and construction of a deep beam anchorage structure in roadway roof

Deep beam anchorage structures based on spatial distribution analysis of the cable prestressed field have been proposed for roadway roof support. Stability and other factors that influence deep beam structures are studied in this paper using mechanical calculations, numerical analysis and field measurements. A mechanical model of deep beam structure subjected to multiple loading is established, including analysis of roof support in the return airway of S1203 working face in the Yuwu coal mine, China. The expression of maximum shear stress in the deep beam structure is deduced according to the stress superposition criterion. It is found that the primary factors affecting deep beam structure stability are deep beam thickness, cable pre-tension and cable spacing. The variation of maximum shear stress distribution and prestressed field diffusion effects according to various factors are analyzed using Matlab® and FLAC3D~(TM) software, and practical support parameters of the S1203 return airway roof are determined. According to the observations of rock pressure, there is no evidence of roof separation, and the maximum values of roof subsidence and convergence of wall rock are 72 and 48 mm, respectively. The results show that the proposed roof support design with a deep beam structure is feasible and achieves effective control of the roadway roof.
Comparative studies on phosphate ore flotation collectors prepared by hogwash oil from different regions

In order to compare the differences between variations of phosphate ore flotation collectors prepared by hogwash oils, JZQ-F collectors were prepared by the hydrolysis method using four types of hogwash oils from different regions in China. The components of the hogwash oils were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FIIR) spectra analysis, while the components of the JZQ-F were determined through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The flotation effects of the JZQ-F collectors were investigated by flotation experiments and the adsorption characteristics were determined through the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D). Results show that the JZQ-F collector from the Ordos area has 27.43% unsaturated fatty acids. JZQ-F collectors from Beijing, Qingdao, and Dongguan areas contain over 62% of unsaturated fatty acids, which can acquire phosphorous concentrates with a the grade of P2O5 above 31.96% and the recovery higher than 91.52%. These three collectors have a larger adsorption capacity, faster adsorption rate, and stronger adsorption structure on apatite surface, which contributed to a good adsorption performance and a favorable flotation effect.
Analysis and evaluation on pressure fluctuations in air dense medium fluidized bed

Pressure fluctuations contribute to the instability of separation process in air dense medium fluidized bed, which provides a high motivation for further study of underlying mechanisms. Reasons for generation and propagation of pressure fluctuations in the air dense medium fluidized bed have been discussed. Drift rate and collision rate of particles were employed to deduce the correlation between voidage and pressure fluctuations. Simultaneously, a dynamic pressure fluctuation measuring and analysis system was established. Based on frequency domain analysis and wavelet analysis, collected signals were disassembled and analyzed. Results show gradually intensive motion of particles increases magnitudes of signal components with lower frequencies. As a result of violent particle motion, the magnitude of real pressure signal's frequency experienced an increase as air velocity increased moderately. Wavelet analysis keeps edge features of the real signal and eliminates the noise efficaciously. The frequency of denoised signal is closed to that of pressure signal identified in frequency domain analysis.
A rare case of B-lymphoproliferative disorder with villous lymphocytes harboring t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation

Splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL) or splenic marginal zone lymphoma with circulating villous lymphocytes is rare, and prolymphocytic transformation of SLVL is rarer. At present, only one case of SLVL with t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation has been reported. In this study, we report a case of Blymphoproliferative disorder with villous lymphocytes harboring t(8;14)(q24;q32) chromosome translocation that we inclined to SLVL with a prolymphocytic transformation. A 73-year-old female showed marked hepatosplenomegaly and high lymphocytosis (lymphocytes > 200 × 10~9/L). The abnormal lymphocytes had short coarse villi and round nuclei with prominent nucleoli. The immunophenotypes showed CD19~+, CD20~+, HLADR~+, CD22~+, CD5~+, Kappa~+, CD25~(dim), CD71~(dim), Lambda~–, CD7~–, CD10~–, CD23~–, CD34~–, CD33~–, CD13~–, CD14~–, CD117~–, CD64~–, CD103~–, and CD11c~–. The karyotype showed complex abnormality: 46XX,+ 3, – 10, t(8;14)(q24; q32)[11]/46XX[9]. The cytoplasmic projection, immunological characteristics, and trisomy 3 chromosome abnormality supported the diagnosis of SLVL. However, the presence of prominent nucleoli and high lymphocytosis suggested prolymphocytic transformation, probably as a result of t(8,14) chromosome translocation. In this report, we described an unusual case of B-lymphoproliferative disorder with villous lymphocytes harboring t(8;14)(q24;q32) translocation, which could provide help in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of B-lymphocytic proliferative diseases.
Hazard Footprint-Based Normalization of Economic Losses from Tropical Cyclones in China During 1983–2015

Loss normalization is the prerequisite for understanding the effects of socioeconomic development, vulnerability, and climate changes on the economic losses from tropical cyclones. In China, limited studies have been done on loss normalization methods of damages caused by tropical cyclones, and most of them have adopted an administrative division-based approach to define the exposure levels. In this study, a hazard footprint-based normalization method was proposed to improve the spatial resolution of affected areas and the associated exposures to influential tropical cyclones in China. The meteorological records of precipitation and near-surface wind speed were used to identify the hazard footprint of each influential tropical cyclone. Provincial-level and national-level (total) economic loss normalization (PLN and TLN) were carried out based on the respective hazard footprints, covering loss records between 1999–2015 and 1983–2015, respectively. Socioeconomic factors—inflation, population, and wealth (GDP per capita)—were used to normalize the losses. A significant increasing trend was found in inflation-adjusted losses during 1983–2015, while no significant trend was found after normalization with the TLN method. The proposed hazard footprint-based method contributes to a more realistic estimation of the population and wealth affected by the influential tropical cyclones for the original year and the present scenario.
Spatiotemporal Pattern of Social Vulnerability in Italy

Evaluation of social vulnerability (SV) against natural hazards remains a big challenge for disaster risk reduction. Spatiotemporal analysis of SV is important for successful implementation of prevision and prevention measures for risk mitigation. This study examined the spatiotemporal pattern of SV in Italy, and also analyzed socioeconomic factors that may influence how the Italian population reacts to catastrophic natural events. We identified 16 indicators that quantify SV and collected data for the census years 1991, 2001, and 2011. We created a social vulnerability index (SVI) for each year by using principal component analysis outputs and an additive method. Exploratory spatial data analysis, including global and local autocorrelations, was used to understand the spatial patterns of social vulnerability across the country. Specifically, univariate local Moran's index was performed for the SVI of each of the three most recent census years in order to detect changes in spatial clustering during the whole study period. The original contribution of this Italy case study was to use a bivariate spatial correlation to describe the spatiotemporal correlation between the threes annual SV indices. The temporal analysis shows that the percentage of municipalities with medium social vulnerability in Italy increased from 1991 to 2011 and those with very high social vulnerability decreased. Spatial analysis provided evidence of clusters that maintained significant high values of social vulnerability throughout the study periods. The SVI of many areas in the center and the south of the peninsula remained stable, and the people living there have continued to be potentially vulnerable to natural hazards.
NKT cells in liver diseases

Natural killer T cells are innate-like and tissue-resident lymphocytes, which recognize lipid antigens and are enriched in the liver. Natural killer Tcells play important roles in infections, tumors, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic diseases. In this study, we summarize recent findings on biology of natural killer T cells and their roles in hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infection, autoimmune liver diseases, alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Controversial results from previous studies are discussed, and indicate the dynamic alteration in the role of natural killer T cells during the progression of liver diseases, which might be caused by changes in natural killer T subsets, factors skewing cytokine responses, and intercellular crosstalk between natural killer T cells and CD1d-expressing cells or bystander cells.
Large-area 4H-SiC avalanche photodiodes with high gain and low dark current for visible-blind ultraviolet detection

In this Letter, we report large-area (600 μm diameter) 4H-SiC avalanche photodiodes (APDs) with high gain and low dark current for visible-blind ultraviolet detection. Based on the separate absorption and multiplication structure, 4H-SiC APDs passivated with SiN_x instead of SiO_2 are demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Benefitting from the SiN_x passivation, the surface leakage current is effectively suppressed. At room temperature, high multiplication gain of 6.5 ×10~5 and low dark current density of 0.88 μA∕cm~2 at the gain of 1000 are achieved for our devices, which are comparable to the previously reported small-area SiC APDs.
Investigation of latest generation pulsed fiber laser in dissimilar joining of Al and Mg alloys

Dissimilar metal joining of magnesium to aluminum was investigated using the latest generation nanosecond pulsed fiber laser. The tensile shear test shows that the average tensile shear strength of a joint was 86 MPa, which was 75% of the aluminum substrate. The weld interface exhibited a mixture phase (Mg solid solution and Mg17Al12) that improves the strength and toughness of the joint. A thin Mg–Al intermetallic compound layer was formed on both sides of the weld seam toward the Al side. Fracture occurred toward the Al substrate side rather than the Mg–Al interface, indicating a high joining strength at the weld interface.
Prognostic value of decision criteria for emergency liver transplantation in patients with wild mushroom induced acute liver injury

Background: The reported mortality rate of mushroom-induced acute liver failure with conventional treatment is 1.4%–16.9%. Emergency liver transplantation may be indicated and can be the only curative treatment option. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of criteria for emergency liver transplantation in predicting 28-day mortality in patients with mushroom-induced acute liver injury. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed between January 2005 and December 2015. All adult patients aged≥18 years admitted with mushroom intoxication at our emergency department were evaluated. All patients with acute liver injury, defined as elevation of serum liver enzymes (>5 times the upper limit of normal, ULN) or moderate coagulopathy (INR > 2.0) were included. The ability of the King's College, Ganzert's, and Escudie's criteria to predict 28-day mortality was evaluated. Results: Of the 23 patients with acute liver injury following mushroom intoxication, 10 (43.5%) developed acute liver failure and subsequently died. The mean time interval from ingestion to death was 11.3±6.6 days. Eight patients fulfilled Ganzert's criteria, while 10 patients fulfilled the King's College and Escudie's criteria for emergency liver transplantation. King's College and Escudie's criteria had 100% accuracy in predicting 28-day mortality; however, Escudie's criteria were able to identify fatal cases earlier. Conclusions: Escudie's criteria demonstrated the best performance with 100% accuracy and the ability to promptly identify fatal cases of mushroom-induced acute liver failure.
