Enrichment mechanisms of rare earth elements in marine hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts

A series of selective extraction experiments were conducted on marine hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts from the seamount near the Line Island to investigate the distribution of rare earth elements(REEs) and the mechanisms of combination between REEs and the hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts.The enrichment of REEs in hydrogenic ferromanganese crusts is attributed mainly to the mineral or oxide/hydroxide of the crust rather than the growth environment.The REEs are present mainly in amorphous ferric oxide/hydro...     

Exploring the deep biosphere

Over the past two decades, scientific drilling into sediments and rocks in the ocean and the continent has revealed the presence of physiologically and phylogenetically complex microbial life in the deep subsurface. Microorganisms, most of which have no cultured or known relatives in the surface biosphere, have been discovered in sediments and rock at depth as deep as 1 km below the seafloor and more than 3 km deep in the continent. The deep biosphere probably represents the most voluminous part of the glob...     

Adipose-Derived Stem Cells in the Treatment of Perianal Fistulas in Crohn’s Disease: Rationale,Clinical Results and Perspectives

Between 20 to 25% of Crohn’s disease (CD) patients suffer from perianal fistulas, a marker of disease severity. Seton drainage combined with anti-TNFα can result in closure of the fistula in 70 to 75% of patients. For the remaining 25% of patients there is room for in situ injection of autologous or allogenic mesenchymal stem cells such as adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ADSCs). ADSCs exert their effects on tissues and effector cells through paracrine phenomena, including the secretome and extracellular vesicles. They display anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, pro-angiogenic, proliferative, and immunomodulatory properties, and a homing within the damaged tissue. They also have immuno-evasive properties allowing a clinical allogeneic approach. Numerous clinical trials have been conducted that demonstrate a complete cure rate of anoperineal fistulas in CD ranging from 46 to 90% of cases after in situ injection of autologous or allogenic ADSCs. A pivotal phase III-controlled trial using allogenic ADSCs (Alofisel^®) demonstrated that prolonged clinical and radiological remission can be obtained in nearly 60% of cases with a good safety profile. Future studies should be conducted for a better knowledge of the local effect of ADSCs as well as for a standardization in terms of the number of injections and associated procedures.     

Chiral Scandium‐Catalysed Enantioselective Ring‐Opening of meso‐Epoxides with N‐Heterocycle,Alcohol and Thiol Derivatives in Water

In the presence of catalytic amounts of Sc(OSO₃C₁₂H₂₅)₃ and a chiral bipyridine ligand, asymmetric ring‐opening of meso‐epoxides with aromatic N‐heterocycles, an alcohol and thiols proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding products in moderate to good yields (34–85 %) with high to excellent enantioselectivities (74–96 % ee). Water was used as the sole and essential solvent in these important enantioselective transformations.     

Attentional control in normal aging and Alzheimer's disease.

Objective: Attentional control, the ability to maintain goal-directedness in the face of distraction, has been shown to decline in normal aging (NA) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), yet the nature and extent of deficits is under debate. This study investigated attentional control in NA and AD compared to healthy young adults in several tasks such as setting, suppressing, switching, and preparing attention. Method: Fifty-two participants (17 AD, 17 NA, and 18 young participants) underwent the Tower of London, the Zoo map test, the Stroop test, letter verbal fluency, a computerized version of the Rule shift cards tests, the Trail making test, the Plus-minus test, and a reaction time task with variable preparatory intervals. Results: Analyses of variance showed that NA as compared to young participants were impaired in the Tower of London, the Stroop test, and the Rule shift cards tests. AD as compared to NA participants were impaired in all tests except the Stroop test. Principal component analysis in young adults confirmed the modularity of attentional tasks, which was reduced in NA and AD participants. Principal component analysis in all populations showed a decline of attentional control with NA and AD regardless of the tasks, with an increase in between-participants variability only between young and NA participants. Conclusions: Attentional control dysfunction is different in NA and AD: NA affects suppressing attention, switching attention for unpredictable but not predictable events, and preparing attention for unpredictable events, whereas AD affects setting, suppressing, switching, and preparing attention with less specificity.

CORRELATION BETWEEN ASO AND AAO

Using a 34 years database consisting of sea level pressure and sea ice concentration, the relationship between Antarctic Oscillation (AAO) and Antarctic Sea-ice Oscillation (ASO) was investigated. Firstly, Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis depicts the spatial variability of AAO and ASO and Antarctic Sea-ice Oscillation Index (ASOI) was defined for the first time. Secondly, power spectrum and headlag correlation analysis show that ASO and AAO have the same periods of quasi-three years, quasi-one year and quasihalf a year. Corresponding to AAO, ASO has an evident antioscillation after one and half a year.     

Estimation of Separation of Electrolytes and Organic Compounds by Nanofiltration Membranes Using an Irreversible Thermodynamic Modei

Nanofiltration separation has become a popular technique for removing large organic molecules and inorganic substances from water. It is achieved by a combination of three mechanisms: electrostatic repulsion, sieving and diffusion. In the present work, a modei based on irreversible thermodynamics is extended and used to estimate rejection of inorganic salts and organic substances. Binary systems are modeled, where the feed contains an ion that is much less permeable to the membrane as compared with the other ion. The two modei parameters are estimated by fitting the modei to the experimental data. Variation of these parameters with the composition of the feed is described by an empirical correlation. This work attempts to describe transport through the nanofiltration membranes by a simple model.

自主水下航行器 (Autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV) 的协同导航是解决水下导航定位问题的重要方法, 其中导航系统的定位误差增长特性是衡量其定位性能的关键指标. 本文针对单领航者相对位置测量的多 AUV 协同导航系统, 利用扩展卡尔曼滤波方法建立了导航系统的整体定位误差关于相对位置量测误差的传递方程. 在此基础上, 通过求解系统定位误差随时间演化的代数黎卡提方程, 得到了其在稳态情形下的方差上界估计. 理论分析表明, 单领航 AUV 协同导航系统的整体定位误差有界收敛且与初始化滤波方差无关, 具有良好的综合性能. 最后, 仿真实例验证了文中理论分析结果的正确性.     

Adaptive partitioning schemes for bipartite ranking

Recursive partitioning methods are among the most popular techniques in machine learning. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how to adapt this methodology to the bipartite ranking problem. Following in the footsteps of the TreeRank approach developed in Clémençon and Vayatis (Proceedings of the 2008 Conference on Algorithmic Learning Theory, 2008 and IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 55(9):4316–4336, 2009), we present tree-structured algorithms designed for learning to rank instances based on classification data. The main contributions of the present work are the following: the practical implementation of the TreeRank algorithm, well-founded solutions to the crucial issues related to the splitting rule and the choice of the “right” size for the ranking tree. From the angle embraced in this paper, splitting is viewed as a cost-sensitive classification task with data-dependent cost. Hence, up to straightforward modifications, any classification algorithm may serve as a splitting rule. Also, we propose to implement a cost-complexity pruning method after the growing stage in order to produce a “right-sized” ranking sub-tree with large AUC. In particular, performance bounds are established for pruning schemes inspired by recent work on nonparametric model selection. Eventually, we propose indicators for variable importance and variable dependence, plus various simulation studies illustrating the potential of our method.
