Posttransplant survival was evaluated using stratified Cox regression with interaction between transplant type(LTA vs SLKT) and center volume.RESULTS During the study period, 393 of 4580 patients(9%) listed for SLKT underwent a LTA. Overall mortality was higher among LTA recipients(180/393, 46%) than SLKT recipients(1107/4187, 26%). The Cox model predicted a significant survival disadvantage for patients receiving LTA vs SLKT [hazard ratio, hazard ratio(HR) = 2.85; 95%CI: 2.21, 3.66; P < 0.001] in centers performing 30 SLKT over the study period. This disadvantage was modestly attenuated as center SLKT volume increased, with a 3% reduction(HR = 0.97; 95%CI: 0.95, 0.99; P = 0.010) for every 10 SLKs performed.CONCLUSION In conclusion, LTA is associated with increased mortality among patients listed for SLKT. This difference is modestly attenuated at more experienced centers and may explain inconsistencies between smaller-center and larger registry-wide studies comparing SLKT and LTA outcomes.展开更多

文摘Development of the telencephalon relies upon several signaling centers-localized cellular populations that supply secreted factors to pattern the cortical neuroepithelium.One such signaling center is the cortical hem,which arises during embryonic development at the telencephalic dorsal midline,adjacent to the choroid plexus and hippocampal primordium(Figure 1A).While the cortical hem has also been described in reptiles and birds,most of our knowledge about the developmental roles of the cortical hem is derived from the analysis in mice.The cortical hem produces several types of secreted molecules,including wingless-related integration site(Wnt)and bone morphogenetic(Bmp)proteins.The cortical hem is particularly important for the development of the hippocampus,which is involved in learning and memory,and the neocortex,which is the most complex brain region that mediates multiple types of behavior and higher cognitive functions(Mangale et al.,2008;Dal-Valle-Anton and Borrell,2022).

文摘This work presents a method for the three-dimensional localization of individual shallow NV center in diamond,leveraging the near-field quenching effect of a gold tip.Our experimental setup involves the use of an atomic force microscope to precisely move the gold tip close to the NV center,while simultaneously employing a home-made confocal microscope to monitor the fluorescence of the NV center.This approach allows for lateral super-resolution,achieving a full width at half maximum(FWHM)of 38.0 nm and a location uncertainty of 0.7 nm.Additionally,we show the potential of this method for determining the depth of the NV centers.We also attempt to determine the depth of the NV centers in combination with finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)simulations.Compared to other depth determination methods,this approach allows for simultaneous lateral and longitudinal localization of individual NV centers,and holds promise for facilitating manipulation of the local environment surrounding the NV center.
文摘Navigation satellites generally use satellite-ground and inter-satellite observation data for precise orbit determination.In orbit determination,the satellite position is often referenced to the satellite’s centroid,while the observational measurements are referenced to the satellite’s antenna phase center.The deviation between the satellite’s centroid and the antenna phase center forms the satellite antenna phase center error,which affects the precision of orbit determination.This paper takes a global navigation satellite system(GNSS)MEO satellite as an example and analyzes the actual situation of the satellite antenna phase center deviation and phase center variation based on the ground calibration data of the in-orbit satellite antenna phase center and the satellite’s in-orbit working status.The analysis shows that the antenna phase center variation caused by the satellite’s in-orbit operation is only at the centimeter level,which has a limited impact on orbit determination accuracy.The main source of precise orbit determination error is the satellite antenna phase center deviation,which can be corrected using ground calibration data.
文摘BACKGROUND Renal cell carcinoma(RCC)is treated with surgical resection as the gold standard,as it is notoriously resistant to systemic therapy.Advancements with targeted therapies contribute to declining mortality,but metastatic RCC(mRCC)survival remains poor.One possible factor is treatment at academic centers,which employ advanced providers and novel therapies.This study compared outcomes of mRCC in patients treated at academic/research facilities compared to those treated at non-academic centers.AIM To compare survival outcomes of mRCC and their various etiologies between academic and non-academic centers.METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to identify mRCC patients including all histology subtypes and stage IV disease.Descriptive statistics and Kaplan-Meier curves measured survival outcomes for user file facility types sorted into a binary academic/research and non-academic research variable.Multivariate logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard testing generated odds ratio and hazard ratio.Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 29.0 using a significance level of P<0.05.RESULTS Overall,academic facility patients experienced greater 5-year and 10-year overall survival than non-academic facility patients.Treatment at non-academic facilities was associated with increased odds of death that persisted even after controlling for age,tumor size,sex,and distance traveled to treatment center.In comparison,nonacademic facility patients also experienced greater risk of hazard.CONCLUSION Patients with mRCC treated at academic/research facilities experienced increased survival compared to patients treated at non-academic facilities,were more likely to be younger,carry private insurance,and come from a large metropolitan area.They also were significantly more likely to receive surgery and adjuvant immunotherapy.
文摘The aim of this article is to present a unique interpretation of the holistic worldview,both in theory and in practice.It explores how this approach,along with a planning process fundamentally different from conventional methods,was implemented in the design and construction of the Music Center and Library in the city of Tel Aviv.This process forms a coherent representation of a complete worldview:a humanistic,holistic worldview developed and adopted through more than five decades of architectural practice across all scales of design.In this approach,a building is not regarded as a collection of isolated design elements,but as one hierarchical language,in which the building,its interior,and its ornamented details down to the handle of the door is one continuous system.Within this system,the building,its interior spaces,and even the smallest ornamental details,down to the door handles,are conceived as parts of a single,continuous whole.This worldview aligns with contemporary scientific discourse in fields such as cosmology,neurobiology,psychology,complexity theory,and Buddhist philosophy,disciplines with which this body of work is closely associated.

文摘Green hydrogen is crucial for advancing renewable energy technologies and protecting the environment.This study introduces a controllable method for bimetallic nickel-cobalt phosphide on reduced graphene oxide on nickel foam(NiCo_(3)P.C/NF).The material demonstrated low overpotentials of 58 and 180 mV at10 mA cm^(-2)for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in 1.0 M KOH.It achieved excellent electrochemical water-splitting performance with operating voltages of 1.54 and 2.6 V at 10 and 500 mA cm^(-2),respectively.The overall water-splitting performance of NiCo_(3).C/NF was extremely stable after 75 h of operation at 53 mA cm^(-2),retaining 98%efficiency,better than the sample Pt-C+RuO_(2),and outperforming previous reports.Density functional theory(DFT)results revealed a synergistic NiCo_(3)P.C interaction that yields nearly zero Gibbs free energy change(-0.100 eV)and upshift d-band center,the real active site at the Ni in HER,and the lowest overpotentials 0.26 V at the P active sites for OER.Furthermore,electronic charge distribution shows the maximum charge distribution between the NiCo_(3)P phase and graphene sheet heterojunction,enhancing the electrocatalyst conductivity.This combined approach offers an innovative strategy to design sustainable electrocatalysts for water s plitting.

文摘Data centers operate as physical digital infrastructure for generating,storing,computing,transmitting,and utilizing massive data and information,constituting the backbone of the flourishing digital economy across the world.Given the lack of a consistent analysis for studying the locational factors of data centers and empirical deficiencies in longitudinal investigations on spatial dynamics of heterogeneous data centers,this paper develops a comprehensive analytical framework to examine the dynamic geographies and locational factors of techno-environmentally heterogeneous data centers across Chinese cities in the period of 2006–2021.First,we develop a“supply-demand-environment trinity”analytical framework as well as an accompanying evaluation indicator system with Chinese characteristics.Second,the dynamic geographies of data centers in Chinese cities over the last decades are characterized as spatial polarization in economically leading urban agglomerations alongside persistent interregional gaps across eastern,central,and western regions.Data centers present dual spatial expansion trajectories featuring outward radiation from eastern core urban agglomerations to adjacent peripheries and leapfrog diffusion to strategic central and western digital infrastructural hubs.Third,it is empirically verified that data center construction in Chinese cities over the last decades has been jointly influenced by supply-,demand-,and environment-side locational factors,echoing the efficacy of the trinity analytical framework.Overall,our findings demonstrate the temporal variance,contextual contingency,and attribute-based differentiation of locational factors underlying techno-environmentally heterogeneous data centers in Chinese cities.
文摘The rapidly growing seaweed farming contributes to food,feed,biofuel,and biochemicals,with Indonesia being the largest exporter of raw seaweed(53.35%)but low in carrageenan derivative products(4.49%).Sustainable farming supports SDG 13 and SDG 14 through emission reduction,marine ecosystem conservation,and increased biodiversity.However,its supply chain faces challenges in raw material availability,such as fluctuating harvests,inconsistent quality,limited logistics infrastructure,and market price volatility.Therefore,good environmental management is needed to optimize raw materials in carrageenan production through resource efficiency,environmentally friendly products,environmental regulations,and market and stakeholder awareness.This study identifies factors in the environment-based supply chain that influence the development of carrageenan production centers and analyzes their ecological impacts using quantitative SEM analysis.SEM analysis reveals that resource efficiency,waste management,environmental regulations,and stakeholder awareness and commitment are the main influencing factors.shows significant factors including raw material efficiency,waste management,and environmental regulations.Environmentally based supply chain integration for the development of carrageenan production center areas can be done by;focusing on sustainability and minimal environmental impact,support for achieving SDG 12,13,and 14,strategies for sustainable raw material management,circular economy,sustainability certification,renewable energy and environmentally friendly technology,and stakeholder collaboration and awareness.

文摘This paper presents a compact broadband antenna that overcomes bandwidth limitations in a diamond nitrogenvacancy(NV)center-based quantum magnetic sensor.Conventional antennas struggle to achieve both broadband operation and compact integration,restricting the sensitivity and dynamic range of the sensor.The broadband antenna based on a dualfrequency monopole structure achieves a bandwidth extension of 777 MHz at the Zeeman splitting frequency of 2.87 GHz,with the dual resonant points positioned near 2.87 GHz.Additionally,high-resolution imaging of the microwave magnetic field on the antenna surface was performed using a diamond optical fiber probe,which verified the dual-frequency design principle.Experimental results using the proposed antenna demonstrate the outstanding performance of the NV centerbased magnetic sensor:a sensitivity of 55 nT/Hz^(1/2)and a dynamic range of up to 54.0 dB.Compared to sensors using conventional antennas,the performance has been significantly improved.

文摘Serpentine structured Co_(3)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) is inexpensive,chemically stable,and electrochemically active in oxygen evolution reactions(OER).However,the OER activity of Co_(3)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) materials is still unfavorable due to the low active sites.Here,Mn^(2+)-doped Co_(3)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) serpentine nanosheets with tuned d-band centers are achieved for efficient oxygen evolution in alkaline and neutral electrolytes.The Co_(x)Mn_(3−x)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) serpentine nanosheets are synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method.The optimized Co_(2.4)Mn_(0.6)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) serpentine nanosheets showed favorable OER overpotentials as well as stable durability in KOH solution and phosphate buffer solution,which were superior to most of the Co-based and Mn-based OER electrocatalysts.The in situ Raman spectroscopy shows that the materials are kept well in the electrochemical OER environments.Further density functional theory shows that the d-band center of Co_(x)Mn_(3−x)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4) serpentine nanosheets is shifted more upward in comparison with pristine Co_(3)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4).The changes in the d-band center increase the adsorption of intermediates,optimize the reaction steps,and lower the energy barriers of the OER.That is the main reason for the OER enhancement Mn^(2+)-doped Co_(3)Si_(2)O_(5)(OH)_(4).This work gives an efficient strategy to design cheap and stable electrocatalytic materials for OER in a broad pH environment.

文摘Understanding the structure-property relationship and the mechanisms by which catalysts promote polysulfide conversion is crucial for the rational design of room-temperature sodium-sulfur(RT Na-S)battery catalysts.Herein,we systematically investigate Fe-,Co-,and Ni-incorporated Mo_(2)C as catalysts for RT Na-S battery to elucidate the intrinsic correlation between the d band center of Mo in Mo_(2)C and its catalytic activity.Combining experimental and theoretical analysis revealed that Ni-substituted Mo_(2)C elevates the d band center while significantly reducing antibonding orbitals(π^(*))occupancy compared to Fe-substituted Mo_(2)C and Co-substituted Mo_(2)C counterparts.This electronic restruction enhances d-p hybridization at the Mo-S interface,which strengthens sodium polysulfides adsorption energy and enhances charge transfer,thereby steering sulfur redox pathways toward thermodynamically favorable configurations.Our findings elucidate the intricate interplay between the electronic structure and catalytic activity of Mo_(2)C,advancing a novel perspective for the rational design of RT Na-S battery catalysts through tailored modulation of antibonding orbital occupancy.
文摘BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer(CRC)has become the third leading cancer with the third highest occurrence rate and the second highest death ratio globally.Its incidence and mortality rates have been increasing annually in recent years,posing a serious threat to global public health.Digestive endoscopy technology can not only be used for the diagnosis of CRC,but it can also be used in determining the depth of infiltration in early CRC.There are significant deficiencies in care measures in this area.METHODS A total of 120 CRC patients were randomly and equally divided into a control group and an observation group.The patients in the control group received basic routine nursing care,and the patients in the observation group received sys-tematic digestive endoscopy center nursing care.The patients'compliance and nursing satisfaction were observed and recorded,as well as the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS),Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)and Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)scores.RESULTS After care,the SAS and SDS scale scores of patients in both groups significantly decreased compared to before care(P<0.05).The VAS scale scores significantly increased for each group compared to before examination(P<0.05).The SAS,SDS and VAS scale scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group after nursing care(P<0.05),and compliance and satisfaction of nursing care were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Digestive endoscopy center nursing can effectively intervene in and improve the psychological state and pain level of CRC patients,suggesting it is a valuable approach to adopt in the clinic.

文摘The properties and creation of optical centers in diamond are essential for applications in quantum technology.Here,we study the photoluminescence(PL)spectroscopy behavior at low temperatures of diamond subjected to electron irradiation and annealing heat treatment.Through temperature variation testing,it was found that the NVcenter intensity of diamond with a nitrogen content of 150 ppm before treatment is insensitive to the experimental temperature,but significantly increases with decreasing temperature after treatment,showing sensitivity to temperature.In addition,the H3 center also shows an increasing trend with decreasing temperature.The results of annealing diamond with a nitrogen content of 730 ppm showed that even at a low temperature of 93 K,no NV^(-)centers were detected,but there were a large number of Ni-N related centers,especially NE8 centers.Our findings can promote a deeper understanding of the behavioral characteristics of HPHT-diamond optical centers in low-temperature environments.

文摘The slow conversion of polyphase in lithium-sulfur(Li-S)batteries not only intensifies the shuttle effect of lithium polysulfides(LiPSs),but also causes the continuous accumulation of inactive sulfur species,resulting in rapid capacity attenuation and sluggish dynamic performance.Herein,the promoting effect of atomic interface stress on sulfur reaction was investigated via CoFe-CoFe_(2)O_(4)heterogeneous nanosheets with a cavity structure.The strain force induced by the in-situ precipitation of Co Fe bimetallic alloy in oxide matrix increased the d-band center,which was conducive to the interaction between catalyst and Li PSs.The sulfur cathode based on this two-dimensional(2D)nanosheet design showed an extremely high capacity of 751 mAh g^(-1)at 4 C.Even with a sulfur loading of 5.55 mg cm^(-2),its area capacity was still as high as 7.15 mAh cm^(-2).Meanwhile,the enhanced stability greatly improved the practical potential of Li-S batteries.
