    Abstract This paper proposes to explore the formation of a discipline named Chinese medical history in the early half of 20th century through a case study of a medical historian, Chen Bangxian, and his writings. Chen gained knowledge about recent trends in world medical history in his local world indirectly, when the thinking of historians in the German-speaking countries spread to other Western countries, to Japan, and finally to China. The article explores ways to understand the interaction between knowledge and historiography in the early half of 20th century in a global context, and reveals how a historiography which both embraced world trends and historians with limited transnational background at the same time created a new “modern” way to write medical history in Republican China.

    Abstract Constructions of distance-optimal codes and quasi-perfect codes are challenging problems and have attracted many attentions. In this paper, we give the following three results. 1) If $\lambda|q^{sm}-1$ and $\lambda <\sqrt{\frac{(q^s-1)}{2(q-1)^2(1+\epsilon)}}$, an infinite family of distance-optimal $q$-ary cyclic sum-rank codes with the block length $t=\frac{q^{sm}-1}{\lambda}$, the matrix size $s \times s$, the cardinality $q^{s^2t-s(2m+3)}$ and the minimum sum-rank distance four is constructed. 2) Block length $q^4-1$ and the matrix size $2 \times 2$ distance-optimal sum-rank codes with the minimum sum-rank distance four and the Singleton defect four are constructed. These sum-rank codes are close to the sphere packing bound , the Singleton-like bound and have much larger block length $q^4-1>>q-1$. 3) For given positive integers $m$ satisfying $2 \leq m$, an infinite family of quasi-perfect sum-rank codes with the matrix size $2 \times m$, and the minimum sum-rank distance three is also constructed. Quasi-perfect binary sum-rank codes with the minimum sum-rank distance four are also given. We show that more distance-optimal binary sum-rank codes can be obtained from the Plotkin sum.

    Abstract Primary care providers (PCPs) are considered the first-line defenders in preventive care. Patients seeking service from the same PCP constitute that physician's panel, which determines the overall supply and demand of the physician. The process of allocating patients to physician panels is called panel design. This study quantifies patient overflow and builds a mathematical model to evaluate the effect of two implementable panel assignments. In specialized panel assignment, patients are assigned based on their medical needs or visit frequency. In equal panel assignment, patients are distributed uniformly to maintain a similar composition across panels. We utilize majorization theory and numerical examples to evaluate the performance of the two designs. The results show that specialized panel assignment outperforms when (1) patient demands and physician capacity are relatively balanced or (2) patients who require frequent visits incur a higher shortage penalty. In a simulation model with actual patient arrival patterns, we also illustrate the robustness of the results and demonstrate the effect of switching panel policy when the patient pool changes over time.

    Abstract In order to improve the adaptive scheduling ability of the innovation and entrepreneurship education model for college students, a brain computing-based innovation and entrepreneurship education model for college students is proposed. Through career-planning education, team training will gradually cultivate the leadership skills of entrepreneurs and improve the overall level of innovation and entrepreneurship of college students. The paper proposes to use the fuzzy neural network algorithm to analyze the control constraint parameters of the college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education model and optimize the design of the control objective function of the university. The control of students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education model is carried out using quantitative optimization methods. The fuzzy neural network is used to identify the control rights of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education model through label recognition technology, and the control objective model of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education model is constructed. The adaptive load-balancing control method is adopted to control the innovation and entrepreneurship education model of college students. Research shows that this method has a good balance and adaptive control ability in the construction of college students’ innovation and entrepreneurship education model.

    Abstract Codes in the sum-rank metric have received many attentions in recent years, since they have wide applications in multishot network coding, space-time coding and distributed storage. Fundamental bounds, some explicit or probabilistic constructions of sum-rank codes and decoding algorithms have been developed in previous papers. In this paper, we construct covering codes in the sum-rank metric from covering codes in the Hamming metric. Then some upper bounds on sizes of covering codes in the sum-rank metric are presented. Block length functions of covering codes in the sum-rank metric are also introduced and studied. As an application of our upper bounds on covering codes in the sum-rank metric and block length functions, several strong Singleton-like bounds on sum-rank codes are proposed and proved. These strong Singleton-like bounds are much stronger than the Singleton-like bound for sum-rank codes, when block lengths are larger and minimum sum-rank distances are small. An upper bound on sizes of list-decodable codes in the sum-rank metric is also given, which leads to an asymptotic bound on list-decodability of sum-rank codes. We also give upper bounds on block lengths of general MSRD codes.

    Abstract Binary self-dual codes with large minimum distances, such as the extended Hamming code and the Golay code, are fascinating objects in the coding theory. They are closely related to sporadic simple groups, lattices and invariant theory. A family of binary self-dual repeated-root cyclic codes with lengths $n_i$ and minimum distances $d_i \geq \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{n_i+2}$, $n_i$ goes to the infinity for $i=1,2, \ldots$, was constructed in a paper of IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory, 2009. In this paper, we construct families of Euclidean self-dual repeated-root cyclic codes over the field ${\bf F}_{2^s}$, $s \geq 2$, with lengths $n_i$ and minimum distances at least $\sqrt{2^{s-1}n}-2^s$, where lengths $n_i$ go to the infinity. We also construct families of Hermitian self-dual repeated-root cyclic codes over the field ${\bf F}_{2^{2s}}$, $s \geq 1$, with lengths $n_i$ and minimum distances at least $\sqrt{n_i/2}$, where lengths $n_i$ go to the infinity. Our results show that Euclidean and Hermitian self-dual codes with large automorphism groups and large minimum distances can always be constructed.

    Abstract The construction of self-dual codes over small fields such that their minimum distances are as large as possible is a long-standing challenging problem in the coding theory. In 2009, a family of binary self-dual cyclic codes with lengths $n_i$ and minimum distances $d_i \geq \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{n_i}$, $n_i$ goes to the infinity for $i=1,2, \ldots$, was constructed. In this paper, we construct a family of (repeated-root) binary self-dual cyclic codes with lengths $n$ and minimum distances at least $\sqrt{n}-2$. New families of lengths $n=q^m-1$, $m=3, 5, \ldots$, self-dual codes over ${\bf F}_q$, $q \equiv 1$ $mod$ $4$, with their minimum distances larger than or equal to $\sqrt{\frac{q}{2}}\sqrt{n}-q$ are also constructed.

    Abstract A photonics-based high-order subharmonic mixer, which enables a low-frequency LO source to be used for high-frequency RF signal frequency downconversion, is presented. It is based on an optically injected semiconductor laser, which is oscillated in the period-one state, sandwiched between two optical phase modulators. It has the advantages of a simple and compact structure, wide bandwidth, absence of electrical components, reconfigurable subharmonic mixing operation, stable output IF signal performance, high signal-to-noise ratio, infinite LO-to-RF port isolation, and high LO-to-IF port isolation. Furthermore, it is suitable for use in remote antenna applications. We set up a proof-of-concept experiment that demonstrates a reconfigurable second-, fourth-, sixth-, and eighth-order subharmonic mixing operation for different input RF signal frequencies and powers. The experimental results also demonstrate that the proposed structure exhibits a stable output IF signal performance, which overcomes the IF signal phase stability problem in the reported high-order subharmonic mixers.

    Abstract Rising employment uncertainty featured by higher risks of being temporarily employed or unemployed is often seen as the driving force behind delayed and declined partnering in Western countries. However, such an employment-partnering relationship is contextualized by labour market institutions and thus could diverge across countries over time. This paper aims to investigate how country-level variations in labour market regulations moderate individual-level effects of unstable employment on union formation, including the transitions into marriage or cohabitation unions. Using comparative panel data for 26 countries from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (the years 2010-2019), our multilevel fixed effects models showed that temporary employment and unemployment negatively affected the probability of union formation for single women and men in Europe. Moreover, the negative relationship between unstable employment and union formation was reinforced when labour market reforms were stimulating insider-outsider segregations or decreasing welfare provisions. Specifically, stricter employment protection legislations and higher coverage rates of collective bargaining agreements could reinforce the negative effects of temporary employment and unemployment on union formation, while more generous provisions of unemployment benefits could buffer such negative effects.

    Abstract Fluorescence staining is an important technique in life science for labeling cellular constituents. However, it also suffers from being time-consuming, having difficulty in simultaneous labeling, etc. Thus, virtual staining, which does not rely on chemical labeling, has been introduced. Recently, deep learning models such as transformers have been applied to virtual staining tasks. However, their performance relies on large-scale pretraining, hindering their development in the field. To reduce the reliance on large amounts of computation and data, we construct a Swin-transformer model and propose an efficient supervised pretraining method based on the masked autoencoder (MAE). Specifically, we adopt downsampling and grid sampling to mask 75% of pixels and reduce the number of tokens. The pretraining time of our method is only 1/16 compared with the original MAE. We also design a supervised proxy task to predict stained images with multiple styles instead of masked pixels. Additionally, most virtual staining approaches are based on private datasets and evaluated by different metrics, making a fair comparison difficult. Therefore, we develop a standard benchmark based on three public datasets and build a baseline for the convenience of future researchers. We conduct extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets, and the experimental results show the proposed method achieves the best performance both quantitatively and qualitatively. In addition, ablation studies are conducted, and experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed pretraining method. The benchmark and code are available at https://github.com/birkhoffkiki/CAS-Transformer.
