    Abstract There are many factors influencing the energy consumption of buildings in complex working conditions. In order to study the factors influencing the energy consumption of residential buildings with nearly zero energy in cold and arid regions of northwest China, factors such as the roof heat transfer coefficient ( K R ), exterior wall heat transfer coefficient ( K E ), ground heat transfer coefficient ( K G ), exterior window heat transfer coefficient ( K EW ), north window wall ratio ( WWR N ), south window wall ratio ( WWR S ), east west window wall ratio ( WWR WE ), building orientation ( BO ), and ventilation times ( VT ) are taken as the influencing factors in this paper. Using the orthogonal test, 135 building energy consumption calculation models were built in DeST, and the influence of 9 factors on building energy consumption in 5 types of regions (severe cold region A (1A), severe cold region B (1B), severe cold region C (1C), cold region A (2A), and cold region B (2B)) were analyzed. The conclusions are as follows: in the process of realizing nearly zero energy of residential buildings in the cold and arid regions of northwest China, the K R , K E , K G , K EW , WWR N , WWE WE should be reduced as much as possible in the five regions. The 1A,1B,1C regions should increase WWE WE and VT , with BO of about 15° east of due north and VT of about 5, 8, and 10 times per hour, respectively. The WWE S , BO and VT for the 2A region should be set at round 0.45, north-south, and about 10 times per hour, respectively. For the 2B region, WWE S should be set at around 0.45, BO around 15° east of due north, and VT as low as possible within the scope of the ‘technical standard for nearly zero energy buildings’.

    Abstract Abstract Background The sky-island Ligidium species fauna in southwest China is poorly known. Before this study, six of the seven sky-island species of the genus were known to be endemic to southwest China. In morphology, Ligidium species are often difficult to identify, and an appraisal of integrative taxonomy is needed. Results We integrated morphology and molecular analyses to delimit Ligidium species. Molecular species delimitation based on distance- and evolutionary models recovered seven-candidate lineages from five gene markers (COI, 12S rRNA, 18S rRNA, 28S rRNA and NAK). We also estimated that the species divergences of sky-island Ligidium in southwest China started in late Eocene (40.97 Mya) to middle Miocene (15.19 Mya). Four new species (L. duospinatum Li, sp. nov., L. acuminatum Li, sp. nov., L. rotundum Li, sp. nov. and L. tridentatum Li, sp. nov.) are described. Morphological confusion among L. denticulatum Shen, 1949, L. inerme Nunomura & Xie, 2000 and L. sichuanense Nunomura, 2002 is clarified by integrative taxonomy. Conclusion This work confirms that an integrative approach to Ligidium taxonomy is fundamental for objective classification, and deduced the uplift of Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in the late Eocene and middle Miocene as one of the principal reasons for the species divergences of sky-island Ligidium in southwest China. We also inferred that sky-island mountains have a huge reserve of higher Ligidium species diversity.

    Abstract Abstract Exosomes are membrane‐bound nanovesicles containing complex cargoes including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (mRNAs and microRNAs), which can be derived from most cells. Increasing evidence has implicated exosomes as key players in intercellular and even interorganismal communications. Exosomes confer stability and can direct their cargoes to specific cell types for promoting cell growth and tissue regeneration. Exosome cargoes also appear to act in a combinatorial manner to communicate directives to other cells. This Review focuses on recent developments and findings of exosomes applied towards applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including healing of the skin, cardiovascular, skeletal, nervous, and visceral systems. The underlying mechanisms of action of exosomes in tissue regeneration are also discussed. In addition, we highlight examples whereby exosomes have been integrated with hydrogels for biofabrication and other related biomedical utilities such as drug delivery.

    Abstract Abstract Current clinical note-taking approaches cannot capture the entirety of information available from patient encounters and detract from patient-clinician interactions. By surveying healthcare providers’ current note-taking practices and attitudes toward new clinical technologies, we developed a patient-centered paradigm for clinical note-taking that makes use of hybrid tablet/keyboard devices and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. PhenoPad is an intelligent clinical note-taking interface that captures free-form notes and standard phenotypic information via a variety of modalities, including speech and natural language processing techniques, handwriting recognition, and more. The output is unobtrusively presented on mobile devices to clinicians for real-time validation and can be automatically transformed into digital formats that would be compatible with integration into electronic health record systems. Semi-structured interviews and trials in clinical settings rendered positive feedback from both clinicians and patients, demonstrating that AI-enabled clinical note-taking under our design improves ease and breadth of information captured during clinical visits without compromising patient-clinician interactions. We open source a proof-of-concept implementation that can lay the foundation for broader clinical use cases.

    Abstract From the point of view of wind engineering, this paper discusses the wind characteristics of China's south-eastern coast area near the ground based on field measurements. Five three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonic anemometers were installed at different heights on a transmission tower in Xiupu, Fujian province, which is a typical coastal landform in South-east China. These anemometers synchronously collected wind records. The wind data were sorted according to the strong wind criterion. The exponent of the mean wind speed and the turbulence intensity profile are provided based on the power law, and suggestions for code are given. The aerodynamic parameters of turbulence in the atmospheric boundary layer are given and used to evaluate the existing empirical models of 3D fluctuating wind speed, such as turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral length scale and power spectral densities. The provided results can be used by designers to improve the wind resistance of civil engineering projects in South-east China.

    Abstract Application of weathering and cold-formed steel in transmission lines can reduce steel consumption and environmental pollution. Some advances in the studies on the weathering and cold-formed steel in transmission tower are introduced. Firstly, corrosion-resistant tests of weathering steel samples under different simulating technical atmospheres were carried out separately for 240 hours. It shows that the corrosion degree of joint samples is higher than that of single chip samples, and the corrosion-resistant performance of weathering steel is superior to common carbon steel. The corrosion-resistance of weathering steel meets with the requirement of transmission tower. Secondly, experiments and finite element analysis for cold-formed angles and a 220kV prototype tower were completed, and the stability coeffi-cient fitting curves as well as the modification formulas of slenderness ratio for cold-formed members were determined. According to the structural characteristics of transmission towers, four sections of cold-formed angles with different sections and slenderness ratios were selected in this study. The finite element model well predicted the buckling behav-iour of the cold-formed members. Ultimate loads calculating by the fitting curve were well agreed to the experimental values, especially for the members with small slenderness ratios. Weight of the cold-formed steel tower can be reduced by more than 5 percent after considering the strength enhancement. Cost of the weathering and cold-formed steel transmission tower is nearly equivalent to that of hot-rolled steel tower with hot galvanizing.

    Abstract Abstract It is difficult to accurately assess axillary lymph nodes metastasis and the diagnosis of axillary lymph nodes in patients with breast cancer is invasive and has low-sensitivity preoperatively. This study aims to develop a mammography-based radiomics nomogram for the preoperative prediction of ALN metastasis in patients with breast cancer. This study enrolled 147 patients with clinicopathologically confirmed breast cancer and preoperative mammography. Features were extracted from each patient’s mammography images. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression method was used to select features and build a signature in the primary cohort. The performance of the signature was assessed using support vector machines. We developed a nomogram by incorporating the signature with the clinicopathologic risk factors. The nomogram performance was estimated by its calibration ability in the primary and validation cohorts. The signature was consisted of 10 selected ALN-status-related features. The AUC of the signature from the primary cohort was 0.895 (95% CI, 0.887–0.909) and 0.875 (95% CI, 0.698–0.891) for the validation cohort. The C-Index of the nomogram from the primary cohort was 0.779 (95% CI, 0.752–0.793) and 0.809 (95% CI, 0.794–0.833) for the validation cohort. Our nomogram is a reliable and non-invasive tool for preoperative prediction of ALN status and can be used to optimize current treatment strategy for breast cancer patients.

    Abstract Analysis of gene sets has been widely applied in various high-throughput biological studies. One weakness in the traditional methods is that they neglect the heterogeneity of genes expressions in samples which may lead to the omission of some specific and important gene sets. It is also difficult for them to reflect the severities of disease and provide expression profiles of gene sets for individuals. We developed an application software called IGSA that leverages a powerful analytical capacity in gene sets enrichment and samples clustering. IGSA calculates gene sets expression scores for each sample and takes an accumulating clustering strategy to let the samples gather into the set according to the progress of disease from mild to severe. We focus on gastric, pancreatic and ovarian cancer data sets for the performance of IGSA. We also compared the results of IGSA in KEGG pathways enrichment with David, GSEA, SPIA, ssGSEA and analyzed the results of IGSA clustering and different similarity measurement methods. Notably, IGSA is proved to be more sensitive and specific in finding significant pathways, and can indicate related changes in pathways with the severity of disease. In addition, IGSA provides with significant gene sets profile for each sample.
