    Series title Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,
    Abstract In this book, the authors use molecular dynamics simulations to conduct a comprehensive study of the compression/superheating limit and phase transition of 2D (monolayer, bilayer, and trilayer) water/ice constrained in graphene nanocapillaries. When subjected to nanoscale confinement and under ultrahigh pressure, water and ice behave quite differently than their bulk counterparts, partly because the van der Waals pressure can spark a water-to-ice transformation, known as the metastability limit of two-dimensional (2D) liquids. From a mechanical standpoint, this liquid-to-solid transformation characterizes the compression limit (or metastability limit) of 2D water. The findings presented here could help us to better understand the phase behavior of 2D confined water/ice.

This study aims to investigate the differences between home and center hemodialysis with a focus on racial/ethnic minorities.Methods: The US Renal Disease System (USRDS) 2019 patient core data containing mortality and hospitalization which are cumulative since 2010 were merged with 2016– 2019 Medicare clinical claims. To assess demographic and medical factors adjusted utilization and mortality of HHD vs CHD within every racial/ethnic cohort, logistic regression was used, and negative binomial regression was conducted to analyze the number of hospitalizations.Results: Evaluating 548,453 (97.48%) CHD patients and 14,202 (2.52%) HHD patients with Whites 47%, Blacks 32%, Hispanics 15%, Asians 4%, and other minorities 2%, the outcomes from adjusted regressions showed that: 1) minorities were significantly less likely to use HHD than Whites (Blacks: OR, 0.568, 95% CI, 0.546– 0.592; Hispanics: OR, 0.510, 95% CI, 0.477– 0.544; Asians: OR, 0.689, 95% CI, 0.619– 0.766; Others: OR, 0.453, 95% CI, 0.390– 0.525; p < 0.001); 2) most minority patients were younger and had fewer comorbidities than Whites, and all minority groups displayed significantly lower mortality and hospitalization incidences than the White group with adjustment on multiple covariates; 3) in the overall and main racial/ethnic cohorts, HHD showed a significantly lower risk of death than CHD after confounding for major risk factors (overall cohort: OR, 0.686, 95% CI, 0.641– 0.734; White: OR, 0.670, 95% CI, 0.612– ...

    Abstract The drums beat, an old man in a grand robe mutters incantations and three brides on horseback led by their grooms on foot proceed to the Naxi Wedding Courtyard, accompanied, watched and photographed the whole way by tourists, who have bought tickets for the privilege. The traditional wedding ceremonies are performed for the ethnic tourism industry in Lijiang, a World Heritage town in southwest China. This book examines how heritage interacts with social-cultural changes and how individuals perform and negotiate their identities through daily practices that include tourism, on the one hand, and the performance of ethnicity on the other. The wedding performances in Lijiang not only serve as a heritage product but show how the heritage and tourism industry helps to shape peoples values, dreams and expectations. This book also explores the rise of romantic consumerism in contemporary China. Chinese dissatisfaction with the urban mundane leads to romanticized interests in practices and people deemed to be natural, ethnic, spiritual and aesthetic, and a search for tradition and authenticity. But what, exactly, are tradition and authenticity, and what happens to them when they are turned into performance?

    Abstract Objective: The incidence of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) has been increasing globally for several decades. The objective of the study was to examine the most recent trend in the incidence of NET as well as disparities by sex and race/ethnicity in adults in the USA.
    Methods: Patients with NET aged ≥20 years were identified from the SEER 22 Registries from 2000 to 2020. The age-adjusted incidence rate was calculated for overall NET and by primary site. The incidence trend was assessed by annual percent change. Disparities by sex and race/ethnicity were examined using the incidence rate ratio.
    Results: Age-adjusted incidence rate of overall NET in adults was 9.39 per 100 000 in 2000-2020. The incidence rate increased from 2000 but reached a plateau with no significant change since 2015. The lung and bronchus, small intestine, and rectum were the most common primary sites. Sex and racial/ethnic disparities in NET incidence varied by primary sites. For example, there was a female excess in NET of the lung and bronchus, stomach, and appendix; and there was a male excess in the small intestine, pancreas, colon, rectum and other/unknown NET. Compared to non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black had higher incidences of stomach, small intestine, liver, pancreas, colon, rectum, and other/unknown NET; they had lower incidences of lung and bronchus, and appendix NET than non-Hispanic white.
    Conclusion: Age-adjusted incidence rate of overall NET has reached a plateau since 2015. However, there were sex and racial/ethnic disparities in such incidence, which varied depending on the primary site of NET.

    Abstract On-line generated ozone was introduced as the cell gas of tandem quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Product ions of the ozone reaction showed that the formation of singly charged monoxide ions and dioxide ions was apparently improved for most elements, resulting in maximum improvement of the signal intensity by over 1000 times.

    Abstract With the increasing number of urban vehicles, as well as the current situation of non-intelligent traffic control systems, spatiotemporal non-uniform traffic resource occupation, and limited traffic planning and design, existing urban traffic planning methods cannot effectively solve problems such as frequent traffic congestion and uncontrollable commuting time for residents. In order to solve the above problems, this paper first constructs a multi-queue, multi-server queuing model based on the server vacation and a multi-hop cascaded queuing model from the perspective of local intersections and global commuting paths. We analyze the theoretical changes in passage delay costs at local intersections and on global commuting paths as a function of traffic flow and the random duration of traffic signals. On this basis, this article proposes a collaborative intelligent traffic planning algorithm based on artificial intelligence, which utilizes traffic sensors to dynamically perceive traffic congestion status and collaboratively plans the optimal duration of traffic signals and the optimal driving path of vehicles from both local and global perspectives, thereby maximizing the on-time arrival ratio of vehicles while ensuring the required commuting delay. The simulation results show that the proposed method can increase the on-time arrival ratio of vehicles by at least 20% compared to contrast methods while meeting the requirements relating to commuting delays. This verifies that our method can provide support for the improvement in efficiency in future Internet of vehicles.

    Abstract Biotin labeling in combination with mass spectrometry has been widely applied in large-scale biological studies, such as determination of protein partners, protein subcellular localization, and protein post-translational modifications. Previous studies have shown that immunoaffinity enrichment is a better method than streptavidin/avidin purification for site-specific studies of biotinylated molecules. In this study, we made a crucial improvement to the elution phase of the immunoaffinity enrichment step for biotinylated peptides, which involves the addition of a highly organic solvent, and developed a monoclonal anti-biotin antibody that improved the identification number for biotinylated peptides. We then demonstrated its application in the characterization of protein interaction sites for the β2 adrenergic receptor (β2AR) by proximity labeling in living cells. Our research provides an improved and reproducible immunoaffinity enrichment method for site-specific biotin-related research.
