Cmsi Translations #37: The Technical Evolution And Future Development Of Chinese Navy’S Third Generation Conventional Submarine, Yin He

CMSI Translations

While construction of the Type 039A submarine was underway, the Chinese Navy, guided by anticipated technological developments in future conventional submarines, its own operational requirements, and the potential threats it faced, initiated research/development and improvement efforts for a new generation of submarine technologies. By around 2010, several key technologies and systems required for these new submarines had achieved breakthroughs or completed development, clearing the obstacles for commencing construction of the new Type 039B. At the same time, this marked the beginning of the large‑scale production of the Chinese Navy’s core conventional submarine force for the 2020s.

Toward 2035: 20 Fundamental Scientific Problems In Artificial Intelligence, Working Group For Artificial Intelligence Advancement Chinese Academy Of Sciences

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

The development of the artificial intelligence （AI） discipline is effectively expanding the capability boundaries of AI. To explore the foundational theories and underlying core technologies for next-generation of general AI, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has formulated 20 fundamental scientific problems in AI. Centered on “disciplinary reconstruction of AI foundational theories (Y+AI)” and “AI-enabled applications of complex systems across multiple domains (AI+X)”, these problems are characterized by multiple complexities including openness, high dimensionality, high dynamism, large scale, and cross-scale properties.

Value And Role Of New Science Popularization In The New Era: Theoretical Elaboration Of Two-Wings Theory And New Exploration Of Science Popularization Paradigm, Ting Wang, Chenyang Wang

Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences (Chinese Version)

The “Two-Wings Theory”, put forward by President Xi Jinping, asserts that “scientific and technological innovation and dissemination of science are the two wings to propel our innovation-driven development. The latter should be considered as important as the former,” and thereby establishes the fundamental position of science popularization in the national strategy. Existing theoretical interpretations, however, are largely confined to the distant association perspective of traditional public science popularization, giving rise to a structural tension between the strategic positioning of science popularization and its practical effectiveness. This study reveals the deep theoretical mechanism underlying equal importance and demonstrates that academic-oriented science …

Small Leucine-Rich Proteoglycans In Cancer: Three Decades Of Discovery, Gabriel J. Pascal, Sadie Kim, Christopher Xie, Maria Danial, Iris Barone, Renato V. Iozzo

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are a well-known family of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. They consist of five classes with 18 different protein cores originally recognized as having a physically supportive component to the extracellular structure and tissue integrity. There has been a significant conceptual shift from the original paradigm as mere contributors to ECM structure to the current concept of bioactive signaling molecules. Over the past three decades, SLRPs have evolved into critical modulators of signaling events in cells by contributing to the regulation of receptor activity and intercellular communication. They also affect key biological processes such as tissue remodeling, …

PCOM Scholarly Works

Background/Objectives. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are two of the deadliest adult cancers. High-dose acetaminophen (AAP) has anti-cancer activity when given in conjunction with CYP2E1 inhibitors to block liver toxicity. However, the administration of high doses of AAP presents practical challenges stemming from limited water solubility, making it difficult to create a concentrated treatment solution in limited volume. Propacetamol (PROP) is a water-soluble AAP pro-drug that has been used clinically as an IV AAP formulation for analgesia. Methods. We sought to investigate the pharmacokinetics, safety and anti-cancer activity of PROP in comparison to AAP …

A Pick-The-Winner Design Framework For Two-Arm Randomized Clinical Trials, Wanni Lei, Vernon M. Chinchilli, Xi Kathy Zhou

COBRA Preprint Series

We propose a general pick-the-winner design framework for two-arm randomized clinical trials with binary and continuous endpoints that meets prespecified type I error rate and power requirements for winner selection. Traditional two-group comparison tests often require sample sizes that are impractical in early phase trials. Existing pick-the-winner designs offer an efficient alternative but generally emphasize the probability of correct selection rather than explicit control of type I and II error rates for winner selection. Our framework comprises four components: pick-the-winner-based hypotheses, winner selection strategies, definitions of type I error rate and power for winner selection, and design calibration. It accommodates …

Time-Varying Spatial Ventricular Gradient Orientation Is Associated With Anthracycline Heart Failure, Andrea N. Rosas Diaz, Hans F. Stabenau, Patricia Tung, Jason Nelson, Gabriel Pajares Hurtado, Sarah Warack, Sanam Alilou, Arunashis Sau, Daniel B. Kramer, Aarti Asnani, Jonathan W. Waks

Division of Cardiology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND

Anthracycline use is limited by cardiotoxicity resulting in heart failure (HF). The spatial ventricular gradient(SVG) is a vectorcardiographic measurement of myocardial electrical heterogeneity associated with sudden death and incident HF. It is unclear if serial measurement of SVG after anthracycline initiation can help predict subsequent HF.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of the study was to determine if time-varying SVG measurements are associated with anthracycline HF.

METHODS

Retrospective, single-center study of adult patients with cancer treated with anthracyclines between 1992 to 2019. Standard 12-lead electrocardiograms obtained within 6 months before and up to 5 years after anthracycline initiation were analyzed. Patients …

Phloem-Limited Disease Impacts Citrus Carbohydrate Dynamics Distinctly From Source-Sink Manipulation, Dorcas Olufunke Alade, Jess T. Gersony, Amit Levy, Christopher I. Vincent

Biological Sciences: Faculty Publications

Source-sink dynamics are defined by the interdependence of source and sink tissues and are key determinants of plant growth and productivity. This dynamic can, be altered by disease. One example is huanglongbing (HLB), a phloem-limited disease that impacts several economically important tree species by disrupting carbon partitioning and altering source-sink relationships. Though HLB is widespread in citrus, the specific mechanism in which phloem disruption impacts the co-regulation of carbon dynamics from source to sink has not been fully described. To address this, we took advantage of a natural study under field conditions, in which infected and uninfected trees were growing …

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Although human trafficking has been extensively studied, comparative research focused on Puerto Rico, Southeast Texas, and Southeast Florida remains limited. This qualitative exploratory comparative study involved examining facilitators and barriers to human trafficking investigations in these regions by analyzing experiences and perspectives of law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and service providers who are directly involved in these investigations. The study is grounded in the bureaucratic organization theory, which emphasizes organizational coordination, specialized expertise, and administrative structures in complex investigations while also recognizing regional conditions and resource availability. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants, each with at least one year of …

Association Of Familial Characteristics With Hpv Vaccine Uptake And Vaccine Completion Rates Among Hispanic Female Adolescents, Ndelwa Wasa

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Although vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) is a crucial preventative measure, Hispanic adolescents' uptake and completion rates are still below optimal. The impact of familial characteristics on HPV vaccine uptake and completion among Hispanic adolescents in the United States between the ages of 14 and 17 was investigated in this cross-sectional quantitative study. Guided by Bronfenbrenner’s (1979) ecological systems theory, the study used secondary data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The sample included N = 1,888 adolescents who met the inclusion criteria (adolescents aged 14-17). Logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine associations between familial characteristics and …

Distinguishing Auroral-E And Sporadic-E In Gnss Radio Occultation Measurements, Sharjeel Hyder, Jeffrey M. Holmes, Kyle E. Fitch, Kyle D. Roberts, Also: Themens, David R.; Emmons, Daniel J., Nimalan Swarnalingam, Dong L. Wu, Cornelius C. J. H. Salinas, David R. Themens, Daniel J. Emmons

Faculty Publications

GNSS radio occultation (RO) is widely used to detect metallic-ion sporadic-E layers on a global scale, but in auroral environments, particle precipitation-driven ionization can produce auroral-E structures with similar RO signatures. This overlap complicates reliable identification of sporadic-E and may bias high-latitude occurrence rate estimates. In this study, we quantify auroral contamination in RO-based sporadic-E detection and evaluate the performance of both threshold-based and multivariate classifier approaches. A dataset of 106 conjunction events was constructed using RO observations from the Spire and COSMIC-1 constellations, together with co-located ionosonde and magnetometer measurements at two high-latitude sites and an ionosonde at a …

Staff Education To Improve Nurses’ Knowledge And Confidence In Fall Prevention In A Psychiatric Inpatient Unit, Ebele Arinze

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project involved evidence-based practice and quality improvement methods and resulted in staff education. The gap in practice was increased patient falls on a psychiatric inpatient unit. Within this practice area, the impact of the effects of psychotropic medications, intellect, and behavioral fall risk, combined with the lack of consistent fall prevention practices and psychiatric staff education, exacerbated the issue. This problem is relevant to practice because falls are a significant source of patient injury. As such, nurses are primarily accountable for conducting fall risk assessments and interventions. The project addressed the practice question of …

Fathers' Parental Role When Living With Their Children In A Homeless Shelter Environment, Nebiyou Bekuretsion Tesfaye

Walden Dissertations and Doctoral Studies

Homelessness for families is complex and considered an “invisible” type of homelessness, as society often believes that only individuals experience homelessness. Fathers who are homeless and live in shelters may be unable to fulfill the needs of their families and experience issues related to their parenting skills/relationships with their children due to rules/regulations of shelters. The problem addressed in this study was the inability of fathers who live in a shelter with their families to effectively parent their children due to the rules, regulations, and influences of others in family homeless shelters. The purpose of this generic qualitative study was …
