A novel expectation-maximization approach to infer general diploid selection from time-series genetic data. by Adam G Fine, Matthias Steinrücken

“…Such time-series genetic data is commonly analyzed using Hidden Markov Models, but in most cases, under the assumption of additive selection. However, many examples of genetic variation exhibiting non-additive mechanisms exist, making it critical to develop methods that can characterize selection in more general scenarios. …”

Porous Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework Loaded Mn as an Efficient Catalyst for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx with NH3 by Yongliang Chen, Meiqing Yu, Rui Wang

“…Abstract Zinc 2-methylimidazolate (Zn(Me-Im)2, ZIF-8) was synthesized through solvothermal method, and the Mn@ZIF-8 was synthesized by loading the Mn species onto the prepared ZIF-8 through impregnation. The effect of the addition amount of Mn species on the activity in selective catalytic reduction of NOx with NH3 (NH3-SCR), the stability of catalysts at ideal temperatures and the resistance to H2O and SO2 were investigated. …”

Ultrasound-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty through arteriovenous fistular access(1):equipment selection for and establishment of the access by 詹申, 张丽红, 王玉柱

“…Ultrasound-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)for arteriovenous access stenosis/occlusion has developed rapidly in China in recent years,but as a relatively emerging technology,many vascular access doctors have no sufficient master of their technique details,and the equipment applications are poorly standardized.The author aims to conduct a series of discussions on this technology.As the first step of endovascular therapy,an appropriate approach can make the PTA process more effective.This article will popularize the characteristics and selection of equipment required for the access establishment for ultrasound-guided PTA.In addition,the access establishment should follow the principle of easy puncture;convenient operation,facilitation in the passage of stenotic lesions;easy hemostasis after completion of treatment.The access can be established in outflow vein,brachial artery,the distal radial artery,arteriovenous graft and so on.The access site and direction should be based on the comprehensive consideration of the lesion location and nature.…”
