Support vector machine for prediction of siRNA silencing efficacy

In order to assist the design of short interfering ribonucleic acids （siRNA）, 573 non-redundant siRNAs were collected from published literatures and the relationship between siRNAs sequences and RNA interference （RNAi） effect is analyzed by a support vector machine （SVM） based algorithm relied on a basebase correlation （BBC） feature. The results show that the proposed algorithm has the highest area under curve （AUC） value （0. 73） of the receive operating characteristic （ROC） curve and the greatest r value （0. 43） of the Pearson＇s correlation coefficient. This indicates that the proposed algorithm is better than the published algorithms on the collected datasets and that more attention should be paid to the base-base correlation information in future siRNA design.

Prospective randomized controlled trial investigating the type of sutures used during hepatectomy

AIM: To determine whether absorbable sutures or non-absorbable sutures are better in preventing surgical site infection (SSI), in this paper we discuss the results of a randomized clinical trial which examined the type of sutures used during hepatectomy. METHODS: All hepatic resections performed from January 2007 to November 2008 at the Department of Surgery at Iizuka Hospital in Japan were included in this study. There were 125 patients randomly assigned to an absorbable sutures (Vicryl) group or non-absorbable sutures (Silk) group. RESULTS: SSI was observed in 13.6% (17/125) patients participating in this study, 11.3% in the Vicryl group and 15.8% in the Silk group. Incisional SSI including superficial and deep SSI, was observed in 8% of the Vicryl group and 9.5% of the Silk group. Organ/ space SSI was observed in 3.2% of the Vicryl group and 6.0% of the Silk group. There were no significant differences, but among the patients with SSI, the period for recovery was significantly shorter for the Vicryl group compared to the Silk group.CONCLUSION: The incidence of SSI in patients receiving absorbable sutures and silk sutures is not significantly different in this randomized controlled study; however, the period for recovery in patients with SSI was significantly shorter for absorbable sutures.

Decentralized Searching of Multiple Unknown and Transient Radio Sources with Paired Robots

In this paper, we develop a decentralized algorithm to coord inate a group of mobile robots to search for unknown and transient radio sources. In addition to limited mobility and ranges of communication and sensing, the robot team has to deal with challenges from signal source anonymity, short transmission duration, and variable transmission power. We propose a two-step approach: First, we decentralize belief functions that robots use to track source locations using checkpoint-based synchronization, and second, we propose a decentralized planning strategy to coordinate robots to ensure the existence of checkpoints. We analyze memory usage, data amount in communication, and searching time for the proposed algorithm. We have implemented the proposed algorithm and compared it with two heuristics. The experimental results show that our algorithm successfully trades a modest amount of memory for the fastest searching time among the three methods.

Catastrophe mechanism and disaster countermeasure for soft rock roadway surrounding rock in Meihe mine

The soft rock's heterogeneity and nonlinear mechanical behavior cause extremely difficult maintenance on the soft rock roadway. Aiming at the asymmetric deformation and destruction phenomenon appearing after excavating and supporting the 7101 air return way in Meihe mine, this paper comprehensively adopted a variety of methods to analyze the roadway surrounding rock deformation rule, obtaining the roadway surrounding rock stress and plastic zone distribution rule under no supporting condition and the roadway surrounding rock deformation features under original symmetric supporting condition.Furthermore, this paper revealed the catastrophe mechanism, and proposed the concept of ‘‘weak structure'' and the disaster countermeasure of ‘‘overall stabilizing the roadway and strengthening the support of weak structure''. The industrial test shows that the disaster control technology can realize the coordination deformation of the supporting structure and roadway surrounding rock, thus significantly controlling the deformation of roadway surrounding rock.

SU(3) Simple Group Model and New Z' Properties in Future Linear Colliders

In the SU（3） simple group model, the new neutral gauge boson Z＇ couples to pairs of SM fermions with couplings fixed in terms of the SM gauge couplings and depending only on the choice of the fermion embedding. In this paper, we calculate the contributions of this new particle to the processes e^＋e^-→l^＋l^-, bb^-, and cc^- and study the possibility of detecting this new particle via these processes in the future high-energy linear e^＋e^- collider（LC） experiments with √s= 500 GeV and ￡int= 340 fb^-1. We find that the new gauge boson Z＇ is most sensitive to the process e^＋e^-→b^＋b^-. As long as Mz,≤2 TeV , the absolute values of the relative correction parameter are larger than 5%. We calculate the forward-backward asymmetries and left-right asymmetries for the process e^＋e^-→c^＋c^-, with both the universal and anomaly-free fermion embeddings. Bounds on Z＇ masses are also estimated within 95% confidence level.

Effects of R-Parity Violating Supersymmetry in Top Pair Production at Linear Colliders with Polarized Beams

In the minimal supersymmetric standard model with R-parity violation, the lepton number violating top quark interactions can contribute to the top pair production at a linear collider via tree-level u-channel squark exchange diagrams. We calculate such contributions and find that in the allowed range of these R-violating couplings, the top pair production rate as well as the top quark polarization and the forward-backward asymmetry can be significantly altered. By comparing the unpolarized beams with the polarized beams, we find that the polarized beams are more powerful in probing such new physics.

Production of Charged Higgs Bosons from Left-Right Twin Higgs Model at TeV Energy e^-γ Colliders

The left-right twin Higgs （LRTH） model predicts the existence of three additional Higgs bosons： one neutral Higgs φo and a pair of charged Higgs bosons φ±. In this paper, we study two pair production processes of these new particles at the next generation eγ colliders, i.e., e-γ → e-φ＋φ- , and e-γ→vRφ-φ0. We find that the production cross section of the process e-γ → e-φ＋φ- are at the level of several tens fb, the production cross section of the process e-γ→vRφ-φ0 can reach 0.35 fb with the reasonable parameter values. As long as the charged Higgs bosons are not too heavy, we conclude that these processes might be used to test for the left-right twin Higgs model in future high-energy linear collider experiments.

Production of Top-Pions Associated with W Boson at Next Generation γγ Colliders

In the context of topcolor-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, we study the charged and neutral top-pions production process γγ →W＋ ∏t-∏t^0. We find that the production cross section is larger than that of the process γγ→ W＋ H-H in the minimal supersymmetric standard model. With reasonable values of the parameters in the TC2 model, the cross section can reach the level of a few fb. Furthermore, the flavor-changing （FC） decay mode ∏t^0 → te^- is the best channel to detect the neutral top-pion due to the clean SM background. With a large number of events and the clean background, the neutral top-pion should be observable at future linear colliders operating in γγ mode at the TeV energy scale.

Flavor-Changing Bottom-Strange Associated in the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity at the ILC

In the littlest Higgs model with T-parity(LHT) the mirror quarks induce the special flavor structures and some new flavor-changing couplings,which could greatly enhance the production rates of the flavor-changing processes. We in this paper study some bottom and anti-strange production processes in the LHT model at the International Linear Collider(ILC),i.e.,e^+e^-→bs andγγ→bs.The results show that the production rates of these processes are sizeable for the favorable values of the parameters.Therefore,it is quite possible to test the LHT model or make some constraints on the relevant parameters of the LHT through the detection of these processes at the ILC.

Single Production of Doubly Charged Higgs Boson via cγCollision in Higgs Triplet Model

The Higgs triplet model （HTM） predicts the existence of a pair of doubly charged Higgs bosons H±±. Single production of H±± via e7 collision at the next generation e＋ e- International Linear Collider （ILC） and the Large Hadron electron Collider （LHeC） is considered. The numerical results show that the production cross sections are very sensitive to the neutrino oscillation parameters. Their values for the inverted hierarchy mass spectrum are larger than those for the normal hierarchy mass spectrum at these two kinds of collider experiments. With reasonable values of the relevant free parameters, the possible signals of the doubly charged Higgs bosons predicted by the HTM might be detected in future ILC experiments.

Searching for Flavor-Changing Neutral-Current Signals via e^+e^-(γγ)→th_t^0 in Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor Model

In the context of the top-color-assisted technicolor （TC2） model, the flavor-changing neutral-current （FCNC） interaction induced by the top-higgs （hOt） are predicted at tree level. We study the relevant processes of e＋e-（γγ）→tcht0 at the International Linear Collider （ILC）. It is found that these rare processes production rates can be enhanced significantly in the TC2 model. Especially for the process γγ→tcht0, the total cross section will reach a few fb in the reasonable parameter space. We also calculate the distributions of transverse momenta, pseudo-rapid and invariant mass of the top-higgs. In view of the main decay modes of top-higgs for mho 〈 2mr, we find that there will be several hundreds FCNC events produced at the ILC with annually integral luminosity of 500 fb-1. Due to the clean background, such FCNC signals can possibly be detected at the ILC.

Imperfect preventive maintenance for numerical control machine tools with log-linear virtual age process

Based on the log-linear virtual age process, an imperfect preventive maintenance policy for numerical control(NC)machine tools with random maintenance quality is proposed. The proposed model is a combination of the Kijima type virtual age model and the failure intensity adjustment model. Maintenance intervals of the proposed hybrid model are derived when the failure intensity increase factor and the restoration factor are both random variables with uniform distribution. The optimal maintenance policy in infinite time horizon is presented. A numerical example is given when the failures of NC machine tools are described by the log-linear process. Finally, a discussion is presented to show how the optimal results depend on the different cost parameters.

Identity-based Verifiably Committed Signature Scheme without Random Oracles

An identity-based verifiably committed signature scheme (IB-VCS) was proposed, which is proved secure in the standard model (i.e., without random oracles). It enjoys the setup-free property and stand-alone property, both of which make an exchange protocol more practical. The scheme is unconditionally secure against the cheating signer, its security against the cheating verifier is reduced to the computational Diffie-Hellman (CDH) problem in the underlying group, it is secure against the cheating trusted third party if the underlying Paterson Schuldt's identity based signature (IBS) scheme is secure, which is proven true based on the CDH assumption in the standard model.

Appropriate posture of cancer patients treated with PICC to prevent internal jugular vein ectopic

We aimed to study the appropriate posture of peripherally inserted central catheter （PICC） patients, to reduce the incidence of internal jugular vein heterotopia. Methods： From 2009 to 2013, a total of 290 cases with PICC were enrolled in our study. They were divided into two groups. The patients in control group took regular position, which mean pros- tration, upper limb of tube side was abduction 90°, head moved to puncture side in order to block the internal jugular vein. On the basis of conventional body position putting, posture of patients in observation group was improved, the head remain neutral, and had 180° angle with trunk longitudinal axis, not favor any side. After ensuring the upper limb abduction, had 90° angle with the trunk, then catheter was inserted slowly. The jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate was judged by X.ray results. Results： The jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate of control group and observation was 12.8% and 0.68%, respectively. The difference between two groups was statistically significant （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusion： The body posture improvement can prevent discomfort of patients and reduce the jugular venous catheter heterotopia rate of PICC.

Identity-based ring signature scheme based on quadratic residues

Identity-based （ID-based） ring signature has drawn great concerns in recent years and many ID-based ring signature schemes have been proposed until now. Unfortunately, all of these ID-based ring signatures are constructed from bilinear pairings, a powerful but computationally expensive primitive. Hence, ID-based ring signature without pairing is of great interest in the field of cryptography. In this paper, the authors firstly propose an ID-based ring signature scheme based on quadratic residues. The proposed scheme is proved to be existentially unforgeable against adaptive chosen message-and-identity attack under the random oracle model, assuming the hardness of factoring. The proposed scheme is more efficient than those which are constructed from bilinear pairings.

Regression Model to Analyze Differential Response to Treatment in Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

The primary aim of clinical trials is to investigate whether a treatment is effective for a particular disease or condition. Randomized controlled clinical trials are considered to be the gold standard for evaluating the effect of a certain intervention. However, in clinical trials, even after randomization, there are situations where the patients differ substantially with respect to the baseline value of the outcome variable. Many a times the response to interventions depends on the baseline values of the outcome variable. When there are baseline-dependent treatment effects, differences among treatments vary as a function of baseline level. Although variation in outcome associated with baseline value is accounted for in ANCOVA, analysis of individual differences in treatment effect is precluded by the homogeneity of regression assumption. This assumption requires that expected differences in outcome among treatments be constant across all baseline levels. To overcome this difficulty, Weigel and Narvaez [7] proposed a regression model for two treatment groups to analyze individual response to treatments in randomized controlled clinical trials. The authors reviewed the model suggested by Weigel and Narvaez and extended further for three or more treatment groups. The utility of the model was demonstrated with real life data from a randomized controlled clinical trial of bronchial asthma.

Alignment Techniques in Total Knee Arthroplasty:Where do We Stand Today?

Achieving optimal alignment in total knee arthroplasty(TKA)is a critical factor in ensuring optimal outcomes and long-term implant survival.Traditionally,mechanical alignment has been favored to achieve neutral post-operative joint alignment.However,contemporary approaches,such as kinematic alignments and hybrid techniques including adjusted mechanical,restricted kinematic,inverse kinematic,and functional alignments,are gaining attention for their ability to restore native joint kinematics and anatomical alignment,potentially leading to enhanced functional outcomes and greater patient satisfaction.The ongoing debate on optimal alignment strategies considers the following factors:long-term implant durability,functional improvement,and resolution of individual anatomical variations.Furthermore,advancements of computer-navigated and robotic-assisted surgery has augmented the precision in implant positioning and objective measurements of soft tissue balance.Despite ongoing debates on balancing implant longevity and functional outcomes,there is an increasing advocacy for personalized alignment strategies that are tailored to individual anatomical variations.This review evaluates the spectrum of various alignment techniques in TKA,including mechanical alignment,patient-specific kinematic approaches,and emerging hybrid methods.Each technique is scrutinized based on its fundamental principles,procedural techniques,inherent advantages,and potential limitations,while identifying significant clinical gaps that underscore the need for further investigation.

Associated Production of a Photon with Dark Matter Pair at the ILC within the Littlest Higgs Model with T-parity

Within the context of the Littlest Higgs model with T-parity, the heavy photon （AH） is supposed to be an ideM dark matter （DM） candidate. One direct proof of validity of the model is to produce the heavy photon at collider. In this paper, we investigate the associated production of a photon with heavy photon pair at the planned international e＋ e- linear collider （ILC）, i.e., e＋e- → AHAHγ and show the distributions of the transverse momenta of the photon. The numerical results indicate that the heavy photon production rate could reach severaL fb at the low mass parameter space and the characteristic signal is a single high energetic photon and missing energy, carried by the heavy photons. All in a/l, it can be a good chance to observe the heavy photon via this process with the high yearly luminosity of the ILC.
