ABSTRACT
Neural architecture search (NAS) is a popular method that can automatically design deep neural network structures. However, designing a neural network using NAS is computationally expensive. This article proposes a gradient-guided evolutionary NAS (GENAS) to design convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image classification. GENAS is a hybrid algorithm that combines evolutionary global and local search operators to evolve a population of subnets sampled from a supernet. Each candidate architecture is encoded as a table describing which operations are associated with the edges between nodes signifying feature maps. Besides, evolutionary optimization uses novel crossover and mutation operators to manipulate the subnets using the proposed tabular encoding. Every n generations, the candidate architectures undergo a local search inspired by differentiable NAS. GENAS is designed to overcome the limitations of both evolutionary and gradient descent NAS. This algorithmic structure enables the performance assessment of the candidate architecture without retraining, thus limiting the NAS calculation time. Furthermore, subnet individuals are decoupled during evaluation to prevent strong coupling of operations in the supernet. The experimental results indicate that the searched structures achieve test errors of 2.45%, 16.86%, and 23.9% on CIFAR-10/100/ImageNet datasets and it costs only 0.26 GPU days on a graphic card. GENAS can effectively expedite the training and evaluation processes and obtain high-performance network structures.
ABSTRACT
Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has emerged as a promising technology for targeting multiple genetic loci simultaneously in forensic genetics. Here, a novel 193-plex panel was designed to target 28 A-STRs, 41 Y-STRs, 21 X-STRs, 3 sex-identified loci, and 100 A-SNPs by employing a single-end 400 bp sequencing strategy on the MGISEQ-2000™ platform. In the present study, a series of validations and sequencing of 1642 population samples were performed to evaluate the overall performance of the MPS-based panel and its practicality in forensic application according to the SWGDAM guidelines. In general, the 193-plex markers in our panel showed good performance in terms of species specificity, stability, and repeatability. Compared to commercial kits, this panel achieved 100% concordance for standard gDNA and 99.87% concordance for 14,560 population genotypes. Moreover, this panel detected 100% of the loci from 0.5 ng of DNA template and all unique alleles at a 1:4 DNA mixture ratio (0.2 ng minor contributor), and the applicability of the proposed approach for tracing and degrading DNA was further supported by case samples. In addition, several forensic parameters of STRs and SNPs were calculated in a population study. High CPE and CPD values greater than 0.9999999 were clearly demonstrated and these results could be useful references for the application of this panel in individual identification and paternity testing. Overall, this 193-plex MPS panel has been shown to be a reliable, repeatable, robust, inexpensive, and powerful tool sufficient for forensic practice.

Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) have particular characteristics, such as a relatively low mutation rate, small amplicon size, and no stutter artifacts when genotyped via the capillary electrophoresis platform. It would be an important complementary tool for individual identification and certain kinship analyses. At present, massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has shown excellent application value in forensic studies. Therefore, in this study, we developed a custom MPS InDel panel that contains 114 InDels [77 autosomal InDels (A-InDels), 32 X-chromosomal InDels (X-InDels), and 5 Y-chromosomal InDels) based on previous studies. To assess this panel's performance, several validation experiments were performed, including sensitivity, inhibitor, degraded DNA testing, species specificity, concordance, repeatability, case-type samples, and population studies. The results showed that the lowest DNA input was 0.25 ng. All genotypes were obtained in the presence of 80 ng/µL humic acid, 2000 µmol/L calcium, 3000 µmol/L EDTA and indigo. In degraded DNA testing, 90% of loci could be detected for 16-day-old formalin-fixed hearts. In addition, this panel has good species specificity. The values of combined power of discrimination and the combined power of exclusion for 77 A-InDels were 1-3.9951 × 10-32 and 1-4.2956 × 10-7 , respectively. The combined mean exclusion chance for 32 X-InDels was 0.99999 in trios and 0.99904 in duos. The validation results indicate that this newly developed MPS multiplex system is a robust tool for forensic applications.

Surface hydroxylation is the basis for material removal in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of monocrystalline silicon, diamond, and YAG crystals. Existing studies use experimental observations to investigate surface hydroxylation, but lack in-depth understanding of the hydroxylation process. In this paper, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, we analyze the surface hydroxylation process of YAG crystals in an aqueous solution using first-principle calculations. The presence of surface hydroxylation was verified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermogravimetric mass spectrometry (TGA-MS) detections. This study complements the existing research on the material removal mechanism of the CMP process of YAG crystals and provides theoretical support for the future improvement of the CMP technology.
ABSTRACT
The brittle feature of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is the major challenge that strongly restricts its application at present. Successfully synthesized bio-based engineering polyester elastomers (BEPE) were combined with PHBV to create entirely bio-composites with the intention of toughening PHBV. Herein, the 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-propionic acid (DMPA) was grafted onto microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and then further transformed into hyperbranched polyester structure via polycondensation. The modified MCC, named MCHBP, had plenty of terminal hydroxyl groups, which get dispersed between PHBV and BEPE. Besides, a large number of terminal hydroxyl groups of MCHBP can interact with the carbonyl groups of PHBV or BEPE in a wide range of hydrogen bonds, and subsequently increase the adhesion and stress transfer between the PHBV and BEPE. The tensile toughness and the elongation at break of the PHBV/BEPE composites with 0.5phr MCHBP were improved by 559.7 % and 221.8 % in comparison to those of PHBV/BEPE composites. Results also showed that MCHBP can play a heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of PHBV. Therefore, this research can address the current issue of biopolymers' weak mechanical qualities and may have uses in food packaging.

Handrail height and knee joint support both significantly influence sit-to-stand (STS) movement. However, research on the associations between handrail height, knee joint support, and their cumulative effect on STS kinematics and changes in plantar pressure distribution during STS under different handrail heights and knee joint support is still unclear. The main objective of this study was to examine the influence of handrail height and knee joint support on the kinematics and the distribution of plantar pressure in healthy adults during STS. Twenty-six healthy adult subjects aged 23 to 58 years participated in this experiment. The subjects carried out STS movement experiments under 7 conditions: 6 experimental conditions of 3 different heights of handrail, with and without knee joint support, and 1 control condition of standing up naturally. The motions of the markers were recorded using cameras operating at 60 Hz, and total movement time, the percentage of movement time of each phase, trunk tilt angle, joint angle, plantar pressure, and the time from hindfoot to forefoot peak pressure were analyzed and compared. Handrail height significantly influences the percentage of movement time at phase I (Pâ =â .015) and the maximum trunk tilt angle (Pâ <â .05), knee joint support significantly influences the maximum trunk tilt angle and ankle angle (Pâ =â .033), and handrail height and knee joint support have an interaction on the time from hindfoot to forefoot peak pressure (Pâ <â .001). Subjects' STS performance was improved with the use of assistant devices but showed particular improvement under the condition of with knee joint support when the handrail height was middle handrail.

Important forensic evidence traced from crime scenes, such as fecal materials, can help in the forensic investigation of criminal cases. Intestines are the largest microbial pool in the human body whose microbial community is considered to be the human "second fingerprint". The present study explored the potential for community characteristics of gut microbes in forensic medicine. Fecal microbiota profiles of healthy individuals from three representative Han populations (Guangzhou, Shantou and Meizhou) in Guangdong Province, China were evaluated using High-throughput sequencing of V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16SrRNA gene. Results of the present study showed that at the genus level, Shantou, Guangzhou, and Meizhou behaved as Enterotype1, Enterotype2, and Enterotype3, which were mainly composed of Bacteroides, Prevotella, and Blautia, respectively. Based on OTU abundance at the genus level, using the random forest prediction model, it was found that there might be potential for distinguishing individuals of Guangzhou, Meizhou, and Shantou according to their fecal microbial community. Moreover, the findings of the microbial community of fecal samples in the present study were significantly different from that of saliva samples reported in our previous study, and thus it is evident that the saliva and feces can be distinguished. In conclusion, this study reported the fecal microbial signature of three Han populations, which may provide basic data for the potential application in forensic practice, containing body fluid identification, and geographical inference.
ABSTRACT
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a type of promising bio-based thermoplastic for food packaging but find restricted industrial applications due to its brittleness and poor processability that is caused by its large spherulite sizes. In this study, for the purpose of toughening PHBV, bio-based engineering polyester elastomers (BEPE) were synthesized and blended with PHBV to prepare fully bio-based blends. In order to improve the compatibility and toughness of the BEPE/PHBV blends, epoxy-terminated hyperbranched polyesters (EHBP) were synthesized, which could be homogeneously dispersed into the PHBV/BEPE blends and improve the compatibility between the two phases of the matrix. The results showed that compared to those of the PHBV/BEPE blends, the elongation at break, impact strength and tensile toughness of the PHBV/BEPE blends with 3.0phr EHBP were enhanced by 134.2 %, 76.8 %, and 123.5 %, respectively. The crystallization study demonstrated the crystallization rate of PHBV/BEPE blends decreased due to the addition of EHBP. The reasons lied in that the addition of EHBP leads to chemical cross-linking between PHBV and BEPE. Meanwhile, the formation of hydrogen bonding, co-crystallization and chain entanglement increased the adhesion between PHBV and BEΡE, which generated the superior toughness of the blends.

Saliva is a common body fluid with significant forensic value used to investigate criminal cases such as murder and assault. In the past, saliva identification often relied on the α-amylase test; however, this method has low specificity and is prone to false positives. Accordingly, forensic researchers have been working to find new specific molecular markers to refine the current saliva identification approach. At present, research on immunological methods, mRNA, microRNA, circRNA, and DNA methylation is still in the exploratory stage, and the application of these markers still has various limitations. It has been established that salivary microorganisms exhibit good specificity and stability. In this study, 16S rDNA sequencing technology was used to sequence the V3-V4 hypervariable regions in saliva samples from five regions to reveal the role of regional location on the heterogeneity in microbial profile information in saliva. Although the relative abundance of salivary flora was affected to a certain extent by geographical factors, the salivary flora of each sample was still dominated by Streptococcus, Neisseria, and Rothia. In addition, the microbial community in the saliva samples in this study was significantly different from that in the vaginal secretions, semen, and skin samples reported in our previous studies. Accordingly, saliva can be distinguished from the other three body fluids and tissues. Moreover, we established a prediction model based on the random forest algorithm that could distinguish saliva between different regions at the genus level even though the model has a certain probability of misjudgment which needs more in-depth research. Overall, the microbial community information in saliva stains might have prospects for potential application in body fluid identification and biogeographic inference.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, various lockdown strategies restrained global economic growth bringing a significant decline in maritime transportation. However, the previous studies have not adequately recognized the specific impacts of COVID-19 on maritime transportation. In this study, a series of analyses of the Baltic Dry Index (BDI), the China Coastal Bulk Freight Index (CCBFI) and of container throughputs with and without the impact of COVID-19 were carried out to assess changing trends in dry bulk and container transportation. The results show that global dry bulk transportation was largely affected by lockdown policies in the second month during COVID-19, and BDI presented a year-on-year decrease of approximately 35.5% from 2019 to 2020. The CCBFI showed an upward trend in the second month during COVID-19, one month ahead of the BDI. The container throughputs at Shanghai Port, the Ports of Hong Kong, the Ports of Singapore and the Ports of Los Angeles from 2019 to 2020 presented the largest year-on-year drops of approximately 19.6%, 7.1%, 10.6% and 30.9%, respectively. In addition, the authors developed exponential smoothing models of BDI, CCBFI, and container transportation, and calculated the percentage prediction error between the observed and predicted values to examine the impact of exogenous effects on the shipping industry due to the outbreak of COVID-19. The results are consistent with the conclusions obtained from the comparison of BDI, CCBFI, and container transportation during the same period in 2020 and 2019. Finally, on the basis of the findings, smart shipping and special support policies are proposed to reduce the negative impacts of COVID-19.
ABSTRACT
In kinship tests, the investigating of the forensic STRs usually provides decisive information to resolve relationship cases. We describe a parentage case with 3 genetic incompatibilities (D6S1043, D18S51 and D2S1338) between the child and alleged parent. With 90 STR loci and 100 SNP loci, the massively parallel sequencing (MPS)-based genotyping results support the certainty of parentage, and the mismatched alleles were considered to be mutations. MPS can provide additional allele sequence structures that can be used to infer the origins of the mutations. SNPs as supplementary markers can provide effective information to give an unequivocal statement of the parentage.

ABSTRACT: Handrail type and seat height both significantly influence sit-to-stand (STS) movement. However, research on the associations between handrail type, seat height, and their cumulative effect on STS kinematics and changes in plantar pressure distribution during STS under different handrail types and seat heights is insufficient.The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different handrail types and seat heights on the kinematics and plantar pressure in healthy adults during STS.The study was conducted on 26 healthy young adults. Six conditions were tested: low seat (LS) and vertical handrail; LS and horizontal handrail (HH); LS and bilateral handrail; high seat (HS) and vertical handrail; HSHH; HS and bilateral handrail. The movement time, trunk tilt angle, and time from hindfoot to forefoot peak pressure were analyzed and compared.A significant difference was found in handrail type (Pâ<â.001) and seat height (Pâ<â.02) for the total movement time of STS. A significant difference was also found for the maximum trunk tilt angles (Pâ<â.001) in handrail types. There was an interaction between handrail type and seat height for the time from hindfoot to forefoot peak pressure of STS (Pâ=â.003).Using HSHH could take less time to accomplish STS movement; it also reduced the maximum trunk tilt angle and thus reduce the risk of falling; the time from hindfoot to forefoot peak pressure when using HSHH was short and subjects could accomplish STS movement easier.

Flexible sensors have attracted extensive attention because of their promising applications in the fields of health monitoring, intelligent robots, and electronic skin, etc. During the COVID-19 epidemic, noncontact control of public equipment such as elevators, game consoles, and doors has become particularly important, as it can effectively reduce the risk of cross-infection. In this work, a noncontact flexible temperature sensor is prepared via a simple dip-drying progress, in which poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4-styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and printer paper served as the sensing material and the flexible substrate, respectively. We combined the highly sensitive temperature-responsive property of PEDOT:PSS with the good hygroscopicity of printer paper. The prepared sensor shows high sensitivity and good stability in noncontact sensing mode within the temperature range of 20-50 °C. To prove the practicability of the noncontact temperature sensor, a 3 × 2 sensing array is prepared as a noncontact human-machine interface to realize the interaction between player and "Pound-A-Mole game" and a Bluetooth car. These two demos show the sensor's ability to perceive nearby temperature changes, verifying its application potential as a noncontact human-machine interaction interface.
ABSTRACT
In the present study, a novel multiplex system, AGCU X-InDel 38 kit, was designed to amplify 38 X-InDel markers and amelogenin in a single Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). To demonstrate the suitability and efficiency for forensic applications, a series of validation experiments were conducted, including sensitivity, species specificity, reproducibility, stability, case samples, balance of peak height, size precision, as well as allele frequency and forensic parameter analysis. The results showed that AGCU X-InDel 38 kit was capable to get full profiles even with 62.5 pg of template DNA, and full profiles can be obtained when hematin concentration ≤25 µmol/L, or hemoglobin concentration ≤50 µmol/L, showing good tolerance to six common inhibitors. Moreover, the analyzed case samples indicated that AGCU X-InDel 38 kit had better performance for degraded and trace DNA samples. The 200 unrelated males from Guangdong Han population showed that the combined PDMale and PDFemale were both more than 0.999999999, and the combined MECKrüger, MECKishida, and MECDesmaraisâ Duo were 0.999369481, 0.999999917, and 0.999941556, respectively. Robust discrimination capability of this novel multiplex system could be demonstrated through the high values of forensic parameters. In conclusion, AGCU X-InDel 38 kit is sensitive, precise, reproducible, and highly informative and could be used as a complementary tool for complex and challenging kinship cases.

ABSTRACT: Sit-to-stand (STS) motion is one of the most important and energy-consuming basic motions in everyday life. Kinematic analysis provides information regarding what strategy or motion pattern is used by the healthy people, and through which, we can understand and obtain the law of the STS motion. The objective of this article is to study the law of STS motion through the experiment to determine a suitable description of STS motion in healthy adults, so as to provide a starting point and bases for future design and control of STS assistive devices.Thirty healthy adult subjects participated in this study and carried out STS motion experiment of standing up naturally. The STS motions were recorded using a high-definition camera. The experimentally collected kinematic data and a link segment model of the human body were used to obtain the coordinates of joints and to calculate the coordinates, velocity, and momentum of center of gravity; the postures of human body during STS are also obtained. The relationship between human body parameters and motion parameters is analyzed by using Pearson correlation method.The STS motion is divided into 4 phases; the phases are differentiated in terms of STS motion characteristics and postures, and momentum of center of gravity of human body. The main factors determining the differences in STS motion among individuals are horizontal distance between hip joint and ankle joint, lower leg length, thigh length, and the length of the transition period. The horizontal distance between hip joint and ankle joint is positively correlated with the duration from motion begin to trunk stops flexing forward (Pâ=â.021â<â.05), but not so with the duration from motion begin to the end of phase 2 (Pâ=â.15â>â.05).The results suggest that when designing the sit-to-stand assistive devices, one should pay attention to the whole-body posture control in STS motion, such as the posture guidance of trunk and lower leg, and should carry out specific training according to different STS phases. Sit-to-stand assistive devices should provide the same horizontal distance between hip joint and ankle joint for different individuals during the STS motion. Transition period should be properly controlled, and the degree of freedom of the lower leg should not be limited.

In this work, by combining the superiority of polyoxometalates (POMs) and catalytic single-metal site Co of metalloporphyrin, a series of mixed-valence POM-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) composites is synthesized by a post-modification method. The electron-transfer property of POM@PCN-222(Co) composite is significantly enhanced owing to the directional electron-transfer from POM to single-metal site Co in PCN-222(Co). In particular, H-POM@PCN-222(Co) gives a high Faradaic efficiency of 96.2% for electroreduction of CO2 into CO and good stability over 10 h. DFT calculations confirm that the directional electron transfer, which accelerates the multi-electron transfer from the electrode to active single-metal site Co, enriches the electron density of the Co center, and ultimately reduces the energy of the rate-determining step, thus increasing the catalytic activity of CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR). This work therefore suggests some new insight for the design of efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 RR.
ABSTRACT
The human microbiome is expected to be a new and promising tool for classification of human epithelial materials. Vaginal fluids are one of the most common biological samples in forensic sexual assault cases, and its identification is crucial to accurately determine the nature of the case. With the development of molecular biology technologies, the concept of vaginal microflora in different physiological states, ethnic groups, and geography is constantly improved. In this study, we conducted high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable regions of the 16S rRNA gene in vaginal samples from Henan, Guangdong, and Xinjiang populations, in an attempt to reveal more information about the vaginal microflora in different regions. The results showed that the bio-geographical factors might affect the relative abundance of some vaginal microflora, but there was no significant difference in the composition of dominant bacteria in the vagina, which was mainly composed of Lactobacillus and Gardnerella. However, prediction models based on the random forest algorithm suggested that we might be able to distinguish vaginal fluids from populations of different regions according to the species-level OTUs in low abundance. It is promising that microbiome-based methods could provide more personal information when being attempted to trace the origin of body fluids.

The genetic polymorphism of 17 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci included in the PowerPlex® 18D System was evaluated from 638 unrelated healthy Han individuals of Meizhou in Guangdong Province, Southern China. The values of combined power of discrimination (CPD) and the combined probability of exclusion (CPE) were observed as 0.999999999999999 and 0.999999933. Penta E showed the highest values of polymorphism information content (0.9073), expected heterozygosity (0.9147), and observed heterozygosity (0.9373), whereas TPOX showed the lowest (0.5373, 0.6035, and 0.6082). Furthermore, both of the PCA plot and neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree showed that the Meizhou Hakka population has a relatively close genetic relationship with the Guangdong Han population. The results showed that most of these 17 autosomal STR loci were highly informative and can be effective for forensic individual identification and paternity testing in Meizhou Hakka population.

In 2009, a violent murder occurred. Two victims, a 47-year-old mother and her 21-year-old daughter, were murdered at home. After importing the 20 autosomal STR loci and 27 Y-STR loci into a database, no hit had been found. In 2019, a person with a prior criminal record was matched in the national forensic Y-STR database. When increasing the number of detected Y-STR loci to 60, all loci of the bloodstain donor at the crime and the suspect were still found to be identical. With the combined calculation of multiple autosomal STR and kinship index, we were able to identify the perpetrator as a previously unknown illegitimate child of a large family and solved the case.

The identification of biological traces provides vital evidence in forensic reconstruction at crime scenes, especially in sexual offences. Compared with traditional presumptive or confirmatory methods, the microbiome-based method has been proven to be of great value in body fluid identification. Mixture of body fluids or tissue is common in sexual assault cases; thus, it is essential to determine the sources of mixed samples. In this study, 60 samples consisting of skin, saliva, and a mixed model of saliva deposited on facial skin were collected from a population living in Guangdong. Through 16s rDNA high-throughput sequencing, we identified the predominant microbes in saliva samples, viz., Haemophilus parainfluenzae T3T1, Neisseria flava, Gemella haemolysans, Prevotella melaninogenica, and Actinomyces odontolyticus; in skin samples, Cutibacterium acnes and Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum were the predominant species. The microbial composition of the same body fluid or tissue is similar in different individuals. However, among different body fluids or tissue, the composition of microflora in saliva is more stable than that on skin. Additionally, the microbial community in the mixed model of saliva deposited on facial skin from the same and different individuals was clearly determined by the constituent fluids or tissue, apart from the differences among the donors. Overall, the microbiome-based method may have good potential as a tool for identifying single and mixed body fluid or tissue.
