TL;DR: A reliable mechanism is proposed for averting black hole attack in VANET by unicasting data packet to vehicles by using trust factor technique which detect routing misbehavior and gives surety of relaying data packets to the destination.
Abstract: Nowadays, Vehicular Ad Hoc networks is one of the most emerging and favorable technology which succor in governing day-to-day road traffic in roads The main disquiet of VANETs is focused on providing security to moving nodes in the vehicular network, so that possibility of accidents, traffic jams or any other hindrance in communication among different vehicles will get reduced Black hole is most popular security attack that sends false reply message to the source by advertising itself as having optimal route toward destination This paper focused on black hole problem Here, a reliable mechanism is proposed for averting black hole attack in VANET by unicasting data packet to vehicles To enhance security, trust factor technique is used which detect routing misbehavior and gives surety of relaying data packets to the destination This elucidation defends against black hole attack and simulation on Ns-2 will sustain its efficiency and reliability

TL;DR: This study provides proof-of-concept that borderline resectable or locally advanced HCC warrants consideration of downstaging with effective neoadjuvant systemic therapy for subsequent curative resection.
Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide with a minority of patients being diagnosed early enough for curative-intent interventions. We report the first use of preoperative cabozantinib plus nivolumab to successfully downstage what presented as unresectable HCC as part of an ongoing phase 1b study. Preoperative treatment with cabozantinib and nivolumab led to >99% reduction in alpha-fetoprotein, −37.3% radiographic reduction by RECIST 1.1 and a near complete pathologic response (80% to 100% necrosis). An integrated immunological analysis was performed on the post-treatment surgical tumor sample and matched pre-treatment and post-treatment peripheral blood samples with high-dimensional imaging and cytometry techniques. Bayesian non-negative matrix factorization (CoGAPS, Coordinated Gene Activity in Pattern Sets) and self-organizing map (FlowSOM) algorithms were used to distinguish changes in functional markers across cellular neighborhoods in the single cell data sets. Brisk immunological infiltration into the tumor microenvironment was observed in non-random, organized cellular neighborhoods. Systemically, combination therapy led to marked promotion of effector cytotoxic T cells and effector memory helper T cells. Natural killer cells also increased with therapy. The patient remains without disease recurrence and with a normal alpha-fetoprotein approximately 2 years from presentation. Our study provides proof-of-concept that borderline resectable or locally advanced HCC warrants consideration of downstaging with effective neoadjuvant systemic therapy for subsequent curative resection.

TL;DR: To identify patients with unstable angina who have favorable outcomes with medical therapy or surgery, 468 patients who had been randomized in the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study of UA were risk-stratified based on angiographic criteria of the number of coronary arteries diseased and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
Abstract: To identify patients with unstable angina (UA) who have favorable outcomes with medical therapy or surgery, 468 patients who had been randomized in the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study of UA were risk-stratified based on angiographic criteria of the number of coronary arteries diseased and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Patients at high risk for UA were defined as those with 3-vessel disease or LVEF of ≤58%, and patients at low risk were those with 1- or 2-vessel disease and LVEF of >58%. Of the 468 UA patients randomized, 287 patients belonged to the high-risk and 181 to the low-risk category. In the low-risk group, cumulative mortality after 8 years of follow-up was significantly lower in the medically treated patients (16.8%) than in the surgically treated patients (32.2%) (p = 0.022); in the high-risk group, cumulative mortality was significantly lower in the surgically treated patients (24.1%) than in the medically treated patients (35.3%) (p = 0.03). The relative risk of surgery (the ratio of surgical to medical risk) in the low-isk patients was 1.67, indicating a significant survival advantage with medical treatment (p = 0.05), whereas the relative risk of surgery for the high-risk group was 0.71, indicating a significant survival benefit with surgical treatment (p -0.05). Thus, medical therapy appears to be the preferred therapy for UA patients with only 1- or 2- vessel disease and normal LVEF, and surgery is preferred for UA patients with 3-vessel disease or LVEF in the lowest tercile.

TL;DR: A hierarchical composite based on the modified reduced graphene oxide with platinum-nickel decorated polyaniline nano-spheres (rGO/PANI@PtNi) was facilely prepared via microwave-assisted self-reduction for an application in nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection.
Abstract: A hierarchical composite based on the modified reduced graphene oxide with platinum-nickel decorated polyaniline nano-spheres (rGO/PANI@PtNi) was facilely prepared via microwave-assisted self-reduction for an application in nonenzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection. Compared to the pristine rGO, the composite exhibited a much tougher surface due to the stacking of conductive PANI nano-spheres on rGO sheets, leading to good dispersion of PtNi nanoparticles and a large active area. Furthermore, the multi-valance Ni2+/3+ in the PtNi particles effectively promoted the catalytic property of Pt sites and facilitated a superior electrochemical performance of PtNi alloy than that of neat Pt. Owing to the synergistic effect of the improved electrical conductivity and the promoted electrocatalytical property, the modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with rGO/PANI@PtNi nanocomposite displayed an outstanding electrochemical sensitivity towards H2O2 with a fast response time (<2 s), a wide linear range (0.1–126.4 mM), a low detection limit (0.5 µM), as well as a long-life stability for one week without obvious degradation. This novel strategy opens a novel and promising approach to design high performance sensors for H2O2 detection.

TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.
Abstract: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality. Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

TL;DR: SPAdes as mentioned in this paper is a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data).
Abstract: The lion's share of bacteria in various environments cannot be cloned in the laboratory and thus cannot be sequenced using existing technologies. A major goal of single-cell genomics is to complement gene-centric metagenomic data with whole-genome assemblies of uncultivated organisms. Assembly of single-cell data is challenging because of highly non-uniform read coverage as well as elevated levels of sequencing errors and chimeric reads. We describe SPAdes, a new assembler for both single-cell and standard (multicell) assembly, and demonstrate that it improves on the recently released E+V-SC assembler (specialized for single-cell data) and on popular assemblers Velvet and SoapDeNovo (for multicell data). SPAdes generates single-cell assemblies, providing information about genomes of uncultivatable bacteria that vastly exceeds what may be obtained via traditional metagenomics studies. SPAdes is available online ( http://bioinf.spbau.ru/spades ). It is distributed as open source software.
