nsSNPAnalyzer: identifying disease-associated nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms
Nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) are prevalent in genomes and are closely associated with inherited diseases. To facilitate identifying disease-associated nsSNPs from a large number of neutral nsSNPs, it is important to develop computational tools to predict the nsSNP's phenotypic effect (disease-associated versus neutral). nsSNPAnalyzer, a web-based software developed for this purpose, extracts structural and evolutionary information from a query nsSNP and uses a machine learning method called Random Forest to predict the nsSNP's phenotypic effect. nsSNPAnalyzer server is available at
A systematic study on the binding energy of hypernuclei
In this paper, we calculated the binding energy per baryon of the
hypernuclei systemically, using the relativistic mean field theory (RMF) in a
statistic frame. Some resemble properties are found among most of the
hypernuclei found in experiments. The data show that a hypernucleus
will be more stable, if it is composed of a hyperon adding to a
stable normal nuclear core, or a hyperon replacing a neutron in a
stable normal nuclear core. According to our calculations, existences of some
new hypernuclei are predicted under the frame of RMF.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, 3 table
Numerical simulation and process optimization on cast steel bearing sleeve
A three-dimensional Computer Aided Design (CAD) model of the bearing sleeve casting is established by Pro/E software. The ViewCast program is utilized for studying casting processes of solidification and mould-filling in order to optimize the casting technology. Based on the solidification simulation, the casting shrinkage and porosity as well as solidification processes are forecast visually in diagrams with the help of ViewCast. The mould-filling simulation results verify whether the fluid/liquid metal fills gates and the mould smoothly. The simulation results of an initial casting scheme show that this scheme is improper. Two optimization schemes have been completed based on the filling simulation so that a modified casting technology is obtained. The simulation results of optimized schemes indicate that the metal fluid fills the mold smoothly and the shrinkage is eliminated effectively. The optimized scheme II is preferred to scheme I. Experimentally, the casting confirms that these optimized methods are very useful in reducing the casting defects and improving the product quality
Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting, Pyramidal Structure And Political Interference: Evidence From China
This paper attempts to investigate the relation between pyramidal structure and corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting quality and the effect of political interference on the relation. Based on 1388 Chinese A-share listed firms during 2010-2012, this paper demonstrates that the separation between control and ownership rights is significantly and positively related to the CSR reporting quality in the state-owned firms (SOFs), while negatively related to the CSR reporting quality in the non-state-owned firms (NSOFs). Results also indicate that the pyramidal layer between the bottom firms and their top ultimate owners is negatively related to CSR reporting quality, particularly significant for the NSOFs. Our research enriches the corporate governance literature by giving insights into the mechanism of pyramidal structure in corporate reporting, and extends the understanding of political interference in the CSR field. This study has public policy implications for China as well as a number of other countries in the Asia–Pacific region.
The Effects of Urban Polycentricity on Particulate Matter Emissions From Vehicles: Evidence From 102 Chinese Cities
This article analyzes the impact of the level of urban polycentricity (UP) on particulate matter emissions from vehicles (PMV) across 102 prefecture-level cities in China between 2011 and 2015. We adopt a spatial panel modeling approach to our measures of UP and PMV, controlling for (possible) intervening effects such as population density and economic output. We observe an inverted U-shaped relationship between both measures: When UP is low, an increase in polycentricity is associated with higher levels of PMV; however, when UP reaches a certain threshold, the increase in polycentricity is associated with a reduction in PMV. We find a similar relationship between economic output and PMV and demonstrate how the effects of population density on PMV consist of two opposite processes that likely offset each other. Nonetheless, jointly, population density and UP have a significant effect on PMV. We use our results to discuss policy implications and identify avenues for further research
Multifunctional on-chip storage at telecommunication wavelength for quantum networks
Quantum networks will enable a variety of applications, from secure
communication and precision measurements to distributed quantum computing.
Storing photonic qubits and controlling their frequency, bandwidth and
retrieval time are important functionalities in future optical quantum
networks. Here we demonstrate these functions using an ensemble of erbium ions
in yttrium orthosilicate coupled to a silicon photonic resonator and controlled
via on-chip electrodes. Light in the telecommunication C-band is stored,
manipulated and retrieved using a dynamic atomic frequency comb protocol
controlled by linear DC Stark shifts of the ion ensemble's transition
frequencies. We demonstrate memory time control in a digital fashion in
increments of 50 ns, frequency shifting by more than a pulse-width (
MHz), and a bandwidth increase by a factor of three, from 6 MHz to 18 MHz.
Using on-chip electrodes, electric fields as high as 3 kV/cm were achieved with
a low applied bias of 5 V, making this an appealing platform for rare earth
ions, which experience Stark shifts of the order of 10 kHz/(V/cm).Comment: 26 pages, 5 figure
