    Description: IJERPH, Vol. 14, Pages 1556: Investigating Lushan Earthquake Victims’ Individual Behavior Response and Rescue Organization International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health doi: 10.3390/ijerph14121556 Authors: Peng Kang Yipeng Lv Qiangyu Deng Yuan Liu Yi Zhang Xu Liu Lulu Zhang Research concerning the impact of earthquake victims’ individual behavior and its association with earthquake-related injuries is lacking. This study examined this relationship along with effectiveness of earthquake rescue measures. The six most severely destroyed townships during the Lushan earthquake were examined; 28 villages and three earthquake victims’ settlement camp areas were selected as research areas. Inclusion criteria comprised living in Lushan county for a longtime, living in Lushan county during the 2013 Lushan earthquake, and having one’s home destroyed. Earthquake victims with an intellectual disability or communication problems were excluded. The earthquake victims (N (number) = 5165, male = 2396) completed a questionnaire (response rate: 94.7%). Among them, 209 were injured (5.61%). Teachers (p < 0.0001, OR (odds ratios) = 3.33) and medical staff (p = 0.001, OR = 4.35) were more vulnerable to the earthquake than were farmers. Individual behavior was directly related to injuries, such as the first reaction after earthquake and fear. There is an obvious connection between earthquake-related injury and individual behavior characteristics. It is strongly suggested that victims receive mental health support from medical practitioners and the government to minimize negative effects. The initial reaction after an earthquake also played a vital role in victims’ trauma; therefore, earthquake-related experience and education may prevent injuries. Self-aid and mutual help played key roles in emergency, medical rescue efforts.

    Description: Author(s): Robert E. Throckmorton, Chengxian Zhang, Xu-Chen Yang, Xin Wang, Edwin Barnes, and S. Das Sarma We present a set of experimentally feasible pulse sequences that implement any single-qubit gate on a singlet-triplet spin qubit and demonstrate that these new sequences are up to three times faster than existing sequences in the literature. We show that these sequences can be extended to incorporat... [Phys. Rev. B 96, 195424] Published Fri Nov 17, 2017

    Description: IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 997: Insufficient Sleep Duration and Overweight/Obesity among Adolescents in a Chinese Population International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health doi: 10.3390/ijerph15050997 Authors: Qing-Hai Gong Si-Xuan Li Hui Li Jun Cui Guo-Zhang Xu Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and overweight/obesity among Chinese adolescents. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among Chinese adolescents in 2016. In total, 2795 school-aged Chinese children aged 12 to 13 years participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete self-administered surveys during a 45-min class period in their classroom. Details of the questionnaire about health-related behaviors included sleep habits, physical activity, screen time, cigarette use, and alcohol use. Height, weight, waist circumference and hip circumference were directly measured. Results: The mean sleep duration was 8.7 h/day. In total, 43.0% of the participants had a sleep duration of less than 9 h/day. Sleep duration was significantly inversely related to BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference and WHtR in multiple linear regression analyses in both genders. Logistic regression models showed that insufficient sleep (<9 h/day) was associated with high odds of overweight/obesity among both young boys and girls. Conclusions: Insufficient sleep duration was associated with overweight/obesity in Chinese adolescents, and short sleep duration was probably associated with central adiposity, especially among boys.

    Description: Author(s): Mingliang Zhang, Xu Zhang, Ling-Yi Huang, Hai-Qing Lin, and Gang Lu Charge transport is crucial to the performance of hybrid halide perovskite solar cells. A theoretical model based on large polarons is proposed to elucidate charge transport properties in the perovskites. Critical new physical insights are incorporated into the model, including the recognitions that... [Phys. Rev. B 96, 195203] Published Tue Nov 07, 2017

    Description: Author(s): Cheng Zhang, Xu-Gang He, Hang Chi, Ruidan Zhong, Wei Ku, Genda Gu, J. M. Tranquada, and Qiang Li Indium-doped SnTe has been of interest because the system can exhibit both topological surface states and bulk superconductivity. While the enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature is established, the character of the electronic states induced by indium doping remains poorly underst... [Phys. Rev.
