China's migrant population and healthAbstractPopulation flow brings vitality to China's economy and society, while at the same time it also impacts traditional social structures and culture. In recent years, with the gradual disappearance of the "demographic dividend" and the advancement of economic structural transformation and upgrading, there have been changes to China's population flow that are worth of noting. In particular, the changing health status of China's migrant population has attracted...

Semelfactives are bigger than degree achievementsAbstractThis paper argues that semelfactive and degree achievement verbs are morphosyntactically distinct, despite the fact that the morphemes they are made of are often syncretic even in languages with synthetic verb morphology like Czech or Polish. We use the mechanisms of Nanosyntax, a theory of the architecture of grammar in which the lexicon stores entire syntactic subtrees, to show that there is a structural containment between semelfactives...

Endoscopic hepatic resection and endoscopic radiofrequency ablation as initial treatments for hepatocellular carcinoma within the Milan criteriaAbstractPurposesThe indication of endoscopic (laparoscopic and thoracoscopic) hepatic resection (HR) has been expanded in the past decade because of its low invasiveness. However, the indications of endoscopic HR and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) have not yet been determined.MethodsAmong the 906 patients hospitalized for the initial treatment of hepatocellular...

Do companies pay the price for environmental crimes? Consequences of criminal penalties on corporate offendersAbstractThis paper is concerned with the negative collateral consequences monetary sanctions may have on companies that are prosecuted for violating federal environmental laws such as the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act. Companies often claim fines for law violations will force them to lay off employees and possibly go bankrupt. Using the treadmill of crime theoretical lens, we employ a...

The Draft Genome Sequence of Methylophilus sp. D22, Capable of Growing Under High Concentration of MethanolAbstractIn this study, a wild type Methylophilus sp. strain D22 belonging to the family Methylophilus was isolated and characterized, which shows high tolerance towards methanol, as it can grow under 50 g/L of methanol. Methylophilus sp. strain D22 was isolated from the lake sludge in Nanjing Tech University, China. The assembled draft genome contains one circular chromosome with 3,004,398 bp,...

Assessing spatial learning and working memory in plateau zokors in comparison with plateau pikas and laboratory ratsAbstractSpatial learning and memory skills are imperative for the survival and fitness of subterranean rodents because of the harsh underground niche in which they live that necessitates the avoidance of higher energy expenditures or probable conflicts with conspecifics or predators. Our study aims to assess the spatial learning and working memory performance of a subterranean rodent...

Genomic prediction of grain yield in contrasting environments for white lupin genetic resourcesAbstractGermplasm collections hold several thousands of white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) accessions. Genome-enabled models with good predictive ability for specific environments could provide a cost-efficient means to identify promising genetic resources for breeding programmes. This study provided an unprecedented assessment of genome-enabled predictions for white lupin grain yield, focusing on (i) a world...

TLR7 activation in epilepsy of tuberous sclerosis complexAbstractBackgroundNeuroinflammation and toll-like receptors (TLR) of the innate immune system have been implicated in epilepsy. We previously reported high levels of microRNAs miR-142-3p and miR-223-3p in epileptogenic brain tissue resected for the treatment of intractable epilepsy in children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). As miR-142-3p has recently been reported to be a ligand and activator of TLR7, a detector of exogenous and endogenous...

Digenean parasites of Sigmodontinae rodents from Argentina: a list of species, new host, and geographical recordsAbstractIntroductionAmong Argentinean rodents, only one species of Muridae and seven of Cricetidae were reported as digenean hosts. Despite the available data, the taxonomic diversity of the Digenea from rodents has been little explored. An update on digeneans of Sigmodontinae rodents (Cricetidae-Muroidea) in Cuenca del Plata is provided. New host and geographical data are recorded and...

Stepping stones or stone dead? Fecundity, pollen dispersal and mating patterns of roadside Qualea grandiflora Mart. treesAbstractForest fragmentation may affect mating and pollen dispersal patterns through conversion of continuous forests into small, spatially isolated remnant patches and individual trees in an anthropogenic landscape. We investigated reproductive investment and success, pollen dispersal, mating system, and genetic diversity and spatial structure of Qualea grandiflora trees in two...

Treatment of Polysilicon Production Wastewater by Ferrate(VI) Microcapsule Oxidation and Biological Aerated BiofilterAbstractPolysilicon production wastewater (PPW) is characterized by complex composition, high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration and poor biodegradability. An integrated process comprising of ferrate(VI) oxidation and biological aerated biofilter (BAF) was developed at lab scale for treating PPW with an initial COD of 3630 mg/L, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) of 350 mg/L,...

Subjective values should be sharpAbstractElga (Philos Impr 10(5): 1–10, 2010) has argued that, even when no particular subjective probability is required by one's evidence, perfectly rational people will have sharp subjective probabilities. Otherwise, they would be rationally permitted to knowingly turn down some sure gains. I argue that it is likewise true that, even when we do not possess enough practical reasons for a sharp evaluation (because of optionality or ignorance), perfectly rational people...

Ensemble and effective dispersion in three-dimensional isotropic fractal mediaAbstractWe determine the time-dependent behavior of the dispersion coefficient for transport in formations with isotropic log-conductivity fields showing fractal behavior. We consider two different dispersion coefficients for point-like injection: (1) the ensemble dispersion coefficients, defined as half the rate of change of the second central moments of the ensemble-averaged concentration distribution and (2) the effective...

Choice revisionAbstractChoice revision is a sort of non-prioritized multiple revision, in which the agent partially accepts the new information represented by a set of sentences. We investigate the construction of choice revision based on a new approach to belief change called descriptor revision. We prove that each of two variants of choice revision based on such construction is axiomatically characterized with a set of plausible postulates, assuming that the object language is finite. Furthermore,...
