Does unfair experience make people feel more entitled to behave selfishly? If so, can a sense of growth effectively weaken the effect of unfairness on selfishness? Drawing upon the Equity with the World (EwW) theory, three lab-based experiments (total N = 408) were conducted to answer these questions. We consistently found that people who had just been treated unfairly or reminded of a time when their lives were unfair felt entitled to behave selfishly. Consistent with a trans-relational effect, unfair victims behave selfishly toward the unfair doer as well as innocent individuals, and there was no significant difference in strength. Reconstructing a sense of growth could effectively buffer the 'unfairness-to-selfishness' effect. The findings added a new perspective into interventions, and extended the EwW theory by demonstrating a strong reciprocative tendency from the fair-treated individuals., Author(s): Rong Shi [sup.1] , Yongqiang Chen [sup.2] , Wei Qi [sup.3] , Wangbing Shen [sup.4] , Shuwei Liu [sup.1] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.27255.37, 0000 0004 1761 1174, Department of [...]

Abstract Objectives This study aims to use the three‐dimensional (3D) mixed‐reality model of liver, entailing complex intrahepatic systems and to deeply study the anatomical structures and to promote the training, diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases. Methods Vascular perfusion human specimens were used for thin‐layer frozen milling to obtain liver cross‐sections. The 104‐megapixel‐high‐definition cross sectional data set was established and registered to achieve structure identification and manual segmentation. The digital model was reconstructed and data was used to print a 3D hepatic model. The model was combined with HoloLens mixed reality technology to reflect the complex relationships of intrahepatic systems. We simulated 3D patient specific anatomy for identification and preoperative planning, conducted a questionnaire survey, and evaluated the results. Results The 3D digital model and 1:1 transparent and colored model of liver established truly reflected intrahepatic vessels and their complex relationships. The reconstructed model imported into HoloLens could be accurately matched with the 3D model. Only 7.7% participants could identify accessory hepatic veins. The depth and spatial‐relationship of intrahepatic structures were better understandable for 92%. The 100%, 84.6%, 69% and 84% believed the 3D models were useful in planning, safer surgical paths, reducing intraoperative complications and training of young surgeons respectively. Conclusions A detailed 3D model can be reconstructed using the higher quality cross‐sectional anatomical data set. When combined with 3D printing and HoloLens technology, a novel hybrid‐reality navigation‐training system for liver surgery is created. Mixed Reality training is a worthy alternative to provide 3D information to clinicians and its possible application in surgery. This conclusion was obtained based on a questionnaire and evaluation. Surgeons with extensive experience in surgical operations perceived in the questionnaire that this technology might be useful in liver surgery, would help in precise preoperative planning, accurate intraoperative identification, and reduction of hepatic injury.

Context. Overuse of N fertiliser in vegetable cropping systems is known to release of nitric and nitrous oxide to the atmosphere in China. Optimisation of N fertilisation regimes has the potential to mitigate NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions from these N-rich systems. Aims. We investigated the effects of different N fertilisation regimes on NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions, and vegetable yields, with particular efforts to estimate annual direct emission factors of NO and [N.sub.2]O under different N fertilisation regimes in greenhouse vegetable fields. Methods. Annual NO and [N.sub.2]O fluxes were taken simultaneously using the static chamber-based method from a greenhouse vegetable system in south-east China with four N fertiliser treatments: (I) no N fertiliser (control); (2) chemical N fertiliser application (CF); (3) organic N fertiliser application (OF); and (4) organic-chemical mixed N fertiliser application (MF). Key results. N fertilisers significantly increased NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions. Direct emission factors of N fertiliser for NO and [N.sub.2]O were the largest for MF, with an average of 0.99% and 0.67%, respectively. Vegetable yields were only significantly enhanced under OF treatment. Conclusions. Relative to the use of chemical N fertiliser, the application of organic-chemical mixed N fertiliser showed not to be effective for mitigating NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions. Instead, sole application of organic N fertiliser was a viable option to enhance vegetable yields but without increasing NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions in greenhouse vegetable systems. Implications. Substituting the use of chemical N fertiliser with organic N fertiliser input could benefitvegetable production but without stimulating NO and [N.sub.2]O emissions from vegetable cropping systems in sub-tropical China. Keywords: emissions factor, greenhouse vegetable field, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, NO/[N.sub.2]O ratio, organic fertiliser, vegetable yields, WFPS., Introduction Nitric (NO) and nitrous oxide ([N.sub.2]O) are two trace gases that play critical roles in global nitrogen cycle. Both NO and [N.sub.2]O are involved in atmospheric photochemistry processes and [...]
