However, robust global information, particularly about their end-of-life fate, is lacking. By identifying and synthesizing dispersed data on production, use, and end-of-life management of polymer resins, synthetic fibers, and additives, we present the first global analysis of all mass-produced plastics ever manufactured. We estimate that 8300 million metric tons (Mt) as of virgin plastics have been produced to date. As of 2015, approximately 6300 Mt of plastic waste had been generated, around 9% of which had been recycled, 12% was incinerated, and 79% was accumulated in landfills or the natural environment. If current production and waste management trends continue, roughly 12,000 Mt of plastic waste will be in landfills or in the natural environment by 2050.","","","","","","","","","","","",10311,11302,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL",2017,3,7,"","","","","","","e1700782","10.1126/sciadv.1700782","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1700782","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000411588000033","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Charging times of seconds to minutes, with power densities exceeding those of batteries, can in principle be provided by electrochemical capacitors in particular, pseudocapacitors(1,2). Recent research has focused mainly on improving the gravimetric performance of the electrodes of such systems, but for portable electronics and vehicles volume is at a premium(3). The best volumetric capacitances of carbon-based electrodes are around 300 farads per cubic centimetre(4,5); hydrated ruthenium oxide can reach capacitances of 1,000 to 1,500 farads per cubic centimetre with great cydability, but only in thin films(6) Recently, electrodes made of two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti3C2, a member of the 'MXene' family), produced by etching aluminium from titanium aluminium carbide (Ti3AlC2, a 'MAX' phase) in concentrated hydrofluoric acid, have been shown to have volumetric capacitances of over 300 farads per cubic centimetre(7,8). Here we report a method of producing this material using a solution of lithium fluoride and hydrochloric acid. The resulting hydrophilic material swells in volume when hydrated, and can be shaped like clay and dried into a highly conductive solid or rolled into films tens of micrometres thick. Additive-free films of this titanium carbide 'clay' have volumetric capacitances of up to 900 farads per cubic centimetre, with excellent cyclability and rate performances. This capacitance is almost twice that of our previous report(8), and our synthetic method also offers a much faster route to film production as well as the avoidance of handling hazardous concentrated hydrofluoric acid.","","","","","","","","","","","",4646,4967,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 4",2014,516,7529,"","","","",78,"U171","","10.1038/nature13970","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13970","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000346310800042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Sampling human sweat, which is rich in physiological information(13), could enable non-invasive monitoring. Previously reported sweat-based and other non-invasive biosensors either can only monitor a single analyte at a time or lack on-site signal processing circuitry and sensor calibration mechanisms for accurate analysis of the physiological state(14-18). Given the complexity of sweat secretion, simultaneous and multiplexed screening of target biomarkers is critical and requires full system integration to ensure the accuracy of measurements. Here we present a mechanically flexible and fully integrated (that is, no external analysis is needed) sensor array for multiplexed in situ perspiration analysis, which simultaneously and selectively measures sweat metabolites (such as glucose and lactate) and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium ions), as well as the skin temperature (to calibrate the response of the sensors). Our work bridges the technological gap between signal transduction, conditioning (amplification and filtering), processing and wireless transmission in wearable biosensors by merging plastic-based sensors that interface with the skin with silicon integrated circuits consolidated on a flexible circuit board for complex signal processing. This application could not have been realized using either of these technologies alone owing to their respective inherent limitations. The wearable system is used to measure the detailed sweat profile of human subjects engaged in prolonged indoor and outdoor physical activities, and to make a real-time assessment of the physiological state of the subjects. This platform enables a wide range of personalized diagnostic and physiological monitoring applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",3671,4013,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 28",2016,529,7587,"","","","",509,"+","","10.1038/nature16521","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature16521","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000368673800033","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This lack of theoretical understanding has motivated the development of experimental techniques for studying such behaviour, such as using ultracold atom lattices to simulate quantum materials. Here we report the realization of intrinsic unconventional superconductivity-which cannot be explained by weak electron-phonon interactions-in a two-dimensional superlattice created by stacking two sheets of graphene that are twisted relative to each other by a small angle. For twist angles of about 1.1 degrees-the first 'magic' angle-the electronic band structure of this 'twisted bilayer graphene' exhibits flat bands near zero Fermi energy, resulting in correlated insulating states at half-filling. Upon electrostatic doping of the material away from these correlated insulating states, we observe tunable zero-resistance states with a critical temperature of up to 1.7 kelvin. The temperature-carrier-density phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene is similar to that of copper oxides (or cuprates), and includes dome-shaped regions that correspond to superconductivity. Moreover, quantum oscillations in the longitudinal resistance of the material indicate the presence of small Fermi surfaces near the correlated insulating states, in analogy with underdoped cuprates. The relatively high superconducting critical temperature of twisted bilayer graphene, given such a small Fermi surface (which corresponds to a carrier density of about 1011 per square centimetre), puts it among the superconductors with the strongest pairing strength between electrons. Twisted bilayer graphene is a precisely tunable, purely carbon-based, two-dimensional superconductor. It is therefore an ideal material for investigations of strongly correlated phenomena, which could lead to insights into the physics of high-critical-temperature superconductors and quantum spin liquids.","","","","","","","","","","","",5816,6389,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 5",2018,556,7699,"","","","",43,"+","","10.1038/nature26160","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature26160","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000429103300032","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We have synthesized monodisperse colloidal nanocubes (4-15 nm edge lengths) of fully inorganic cesium lead halide perovskites (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, and I or mixed halide systems Cl/Br and Br/I) using inexpensive commercial precursors. Through compositional modulations and quantum size-effects, the bandgap energies and emission spectra are readily tunable over the entire visible spectral region of 410-700 nm. The photoluminescence of CsPbX3 nanocrystals is characterized by narrow emission line-widths of 12-42 nm, wide color gamut covering up to 140% of the NTSC color standard, high quantum yields of up to 90%, and radiative lifetimes in the range of 1-29 ns. The compelling combination of enhanced optical properties and chemical robustness makes CsPbX3 nanocrystals appealing for optoelectronic applications, particularly for blue and green spectral regions (410-530 nm), where typical metal chalcogenide-based quantum dots suffer from photodegradation.","","","","","","","","","","","",7392,7899,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2015,15,6,"","","","",3692,3696,"","10.1021/nl5048779","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nl5048779","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000356316900006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Our ab initio calculations indicate that the band gap is direct, depends on the number of layers and the in-layer strain, and is significantly larger than the bulk value of 0.31-036 eV. The observed photoluminescence peak of single-layer phosphorene in the visible optical range confirms that the band gap is larger than that of the bulk system. Our transport studies indicate a hole mobility that reflects the structural anisotropy of phosphorene and complements n-type MoS2. At room temperature, our few-layer phosphorene field-effect transistors with 1.0 mu m channel length display a high on-current of 194 mA/mm, a high hole field-effect mobility of 286 cm(2) N.s, and an on/off ratio of up to 10(4).

The growth of guest MOF on a selected site of host MOF in each step provides the opportunity to further vary the combinations of arrangements in multiple steps, leading to ternary MOF-on-MOF heterostructures with tunable complexity.

Recent additions include semiconductors with spin-valley coupling(2), Ising superconductors(3-5) that can be tuned into a quantum metal(6), possible Mott insulators with tunable charge-density waves(7), and topological semimetals with edge transport(8,9). However, no two-dimensional crystal with intrinsic magnetism has yet been discovered(10-14); such a crystal would be useful in many technologies from sensing to data storage(15). Theoretically, magnetic order is prohibited in the two-dimensional isotropic Heisenberg model at finite temperatures by the Mermin-Wagner theorem(16). Magnetic anisotropy removes this restriction, however, and enables, for instance, the occurrence of two-dimensional Ising ferromagnetism. Here we use magneto-optical Kerr effect microscopy to demonstrate that monolayer chromium triiodide (CrI3) is an Ising ferromagnet with out-of-plane spin orientation. Its Curie temperature of 45 kelvin is only slightly lower than that of the bulk crystal, 61 kelvin, which is consistent with a weak interlayer coupling. Moreover, our studies suggest a layer-dependent magnetic phase, highlighting thickness-dependent physical properties typical of van der Waals crystals(17-19). Remarkably, bilayer CrI3 displays suppressed magnetization with a metamagnetic effect(20), whereas in trilayer CrI3 the interlayer ferromagnetism observed in the bulk crystal is restored. This work creates opportunities for studying magnetism by harnessing the unusual features of atomically thin materials, such as electrical control for realizing magnetoelectronics(12), and van der Waals engineering to produce interface phenomena(15).","","","","","","","","","","","",4484,4790,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 8",2017,546,7657,"","","","",270,"+","","10.1038/nature22391","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature22391","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000402823400033","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We investigate permeation through micrometer-thick laminates prepared by means of vacuum filtration of graphene oxide suspensions. The laminates are vacuum-tight in the dry state but, if immersed in water, act as molecular sieves, blocking all solutes with hydrated radii larger than 4.5 angstroms. Smaller ions permeate through the membranes at rates thousands of times faster than what is expected for simple diffusion. We believe that this behavior is caused by a network of nanocapillaries that open up in the hydrated state and accept only species that fit in. The anomalously fast permeation is attributed to a capillary-like high pressure acting on ions inside graphene capillaries.","","","","","","","","","","","",2099,2307,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 14",2014,343,6172,"","","","",752,754,"","10.1126/science.1245711","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.1245711","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000331557800034","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

For this to occur shortly in Machine Learning, the entire community stands in front of the barrier of explainability, an inherent problem of the latest techniques brought by sub-symbolism (e.g. ensembles or Deep Neural Networks) that were not present in the last hype of AI (namely, expert systems and rule based models). Paradigms underlying this problem fall within the so-called eXplainable AI (XAI) field, which is widely acknowledged as a crucial feature for the practical deployment of AI models. The overview presented in this article examines the existing literature and contributions already done in the field of XAI, including a prospect toward what is yet to be reached. For this purpose we summarize previous efforts made to define explainability in Machine Learning, establishing a novel definition of explainable Machine Learning that covers such prior conceptual propositions with a major focus on the audience for which the explainability is sought. Departing from this definition, we propose and discuss about a taxonomy of recent contributions related to the explainability of different Machine Learning models, including those aimed at explaining Deep Learning methods for which a second dedicated taxonomy is built and examined in detail. This critical literature analysis serves as the motivating background for a series of challenges faced by XAI, such as the interesting crossroads of data fusion and explainability. Our prospects lead toward the concept of Responsible Artificial Intelligence, namely, a methodology for the large-scale implementation of AI methods in real organizations with fairness, model explainability and accountability at its core. Our ultimate goal is to provide newcomers to the field of XAI with a thorough taxonomy that can serve as reference material in order to stimulate future research advances, but also to encourage experts and professionals from other disciplines to embrace the benefits of AI in their activity sectors, without any prior bias for its lack of interpretability.","","","","","","","","","","","",4173,4416,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2020,58,"","","","","",82,115,"","10.1016/j.inffus.2019.12.012","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.inffus.2019.12.012","","","","","","Computer Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000516799200007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The specific activity per ECSA of each material is also reported. Among HER catalysts, several could operate at 10 mA cm(-2) with overpotentials <0.1 V in acidic and/or alkaline solutions. Among OER catalysts in acidic solution, no non-noble metal based materials showed promising activity and stability, whereas in alkaline solution many OER catalysts performed with similar activity achieving 10 mA cm(-2) current densities at overpotentials of similar to 0.33-0.5 V. Most OER catalysts showed comparable or better specific activity per ECSA when compared to Ir and Ru catalysts in alkaline solutions, while most HER catalysts showed much lower specific activity than Pt in both acidic and alkaline solutions. For select catalysts, additional secondary screening measurements were conducted including Faradaic efficiency and extended stability measurements.","","","","","","","","","","","",3318,3551,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 8",2015,137,13,"","","","",4347,4357,"","10.1021/ja510442p","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja510442p","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000352752000019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Delamination of MXene produces single-layer nanosheets with thickness of about a nanometer and lateral size of the order of micrometers. The high aspect ratio of delaminated MXene renders it promising nanofiller in multifunctional polymer nanocomposites. Herein, Ti3C2Tx MXene was mixed with either a charged polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) or an electrically neutral polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to produce Ti3C2Tx/polymer composites. The as-fabricated composites are flexible and have electrical conductivities as high as 2.2 x 10(4) S/m in the case of the Ti3C2Tx/PVA composite film and 2.4 x 105 S/m for pure Ti3C2Tx films. The tensile strength of the Ti3C2Tx/PVA composites was significantly enhanced compared with pure Ti3C2Tx or PVA films. The intercalation and confinement of the polymer between the MXene flakes not only increased flexibility but also enhanced cationic intercalation, offering an impressive volumetric capacitance of similar to 530 F/cm(3) for MXene/PVA-KOH composite film at 2 mV/s. To our knowledge, this study is a first, but crucial, step in exploring the potential of using MXenes in polymer-based multifunctional nanocomposites for a host of applications, such as structural components, energy storage devices, wearable electronics, electrochemical actuators, and radiofrequency shielding, to name a few.","","","","","","","","","","","",1810,1933,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 25",2014,111,47,"","","","",16676,16681,"","10.1073/pnas.1414215111","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1414215111","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000345662700023","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Single materials with efficient and stable white-light emission are ideal for lighting applications, but photon emission covering the entire visible spectrum is difficult to achieve using a single material. Metal halide perovskites have outstanding emission properties(2,3); however, the best-performing materials of this type contain lead and have unsatisfactory stability. Here we report a lead-free double perovskite that exhibits efficient and stable white-light emission via self-trapped excitons that originate from the Jahn-Teller distortion of the AgCl6 octahedron in the excited state. By alloying sodium cations into Cs2AgInCl6, we break the dark transition (the inversion-symmetry-induced parity-forbidden transition) by manipulating the parity of the wavefunction of the self-trapped exciton and reduce the electronic dimensionality of the semiconductor(4). This leads to an increase in photoluminescence efficiency by three orders of magnitude compared to pure Cs2AgInCl6. The optimally alloyed Cs-2(Ag0.60Na0.40) InCl6 with 0.04 per cent bismuth doping emits warm-white light with 86 +/- 5 per cent quantum efficiency and works for over 1,000 hours.

However, in contrast to tendons, many hydrogels with the same high water content do not show high strength, toughness or fatigue resistance. Here we present a strategy to produce a multi-length-scale hierarchical hydrogel architecture using a freezing-assisted salting-out treatment. The produced poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels are highly anisotropic, comprising micrometre-scale honeycomb-like pore walls, which in turn comprise interconnected nanofibril meshes. These hydrogels have a water content of 70-95 per cent and properties that compare favourably to those of other tough hydrogels and even natural tendons; for example, an ultimate stress of 23.5 +/- 2.7 megapascals, strain levels of 2,900 +/- 450 per cent, toughness of 210 +/- 13 megajoules per cubic metre, fracture energy of 170 +/- 8 kilojoules per square metre and a fatigue threshold of 10.5 +/- 1.3 kilojoules per square metre.

Adsorption of antibiotics on microplastics may result in their long-range transport and may cause compound combination effects. In this study, we investigated the adsorption of 5 antibiotics [sulfadiazine (SDZ), amoxicillin (AMX), tetracycline (TC), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and trimethoprim (TMP)] on 5 types of microplastics [polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (PA), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)] in the freshwater and seawater systems. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis revealed that microplastics have different surface characterizes and various degrees of crystalline. Adsorption isotherms demonstrated that PA had the strongest adsorption capacity for antibiotics with distribution coefficient (K-d) values ranged from 7.36 +/- 0.257 to 756 +/- 48.0 L kg(-1) in the freshwater system, which can be attributed to its porous structure and hydrogen bonding. Relatively low adsorption capacity was observed on other four microplastics. The adsorption amounts of 5 antibiotics on PS, PE, PP, and PVC decreased in the order of CIP > AMX > TMP > SDZ > TC with K-f correlated positively with octanol-water partition coefficients (Log K-OW). Comparing to freshwater system, adsorption capacity in seawater decreased significantly and no adsorption was observed for CIP and AMX. Our results indicated that commonly observed polyamide particles can serve as a carrier of antibiotics in the aquatic environment. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.

Using computational methods, we establish that this structural motif results in near optimal adsorption energies of OER intermediates and low overpotentials at Fe sites. By contrast, Ni sites in Ni1-xFexOOH are not active sites for the oxidation of water.","","","","","","","","","","","",2153,2270,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 28",2015,137,3,"","","","",1305,1313,"","10.1021/ja511559d","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja511559d","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000348690100042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A dramatic enhancement of the catalytic activity is demonstrated by introduction of electrochemically inert Fe-MOF nanoparticles onto active 2D MOFs nanosheets. In the case of active Ni-MOF nanosheets (Ni-MOF@Fe-MOF), the overpotential is 265 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in 1 m KOH, which is lowered by approximate to 100 mV after hybridization due to the 2D nanosheet morphology and the synergistic effect between Ni active centers and Fe species. Similar performance improvement is also successfully demonstrated in the active NiCo-MOF nanosheets. More importantly, the real catalytic active species in the hybrid Ni-MOF@Fe-MOF catalyst are unraveled. It is found that, NiO nanograins (approximate to 5 nm) are formed in situ during oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process and act as OER active centers as well as building blocks of the porous nanosheet catalysts.

It is highly conductive, largely transmissive to light, processible in water, and highly flexible. Much recent work on this ubiquitous material has been devoted to increasing its deformability beyond flexibility-a characteristic possessed by any material that is sufficiently thin-toward stretchability, a characteristic that requires engineering of the structure at the molecular- or nanoscale. Stretchability is the enabling characteristic of a range of applications envisioned for PEDOT in energy and healthcare, such as wearable, implantable, and large-area electronic devices. High degrees of mechanical deformability allow intimate contact with biological tissues and solution-processable printing techniques (e.g., roll-to-roll printing). PEDOT:PSS, however, is only stretchable up to around 10%. Here, the strategies that have been reported to enhance the stretchability of conductive polymers and composites based on PEDOT and PEDOT:PSS are highlighted. These strategies include blending with plasticizers or polymers, deposition on elastomers, formation of fibers and gels, and the use of intrinsically stretchable scaffolds for the polymerization of PEDOT.","","","","","","","","","","","",834,886,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 8",2019,31,10,"","","","","","",1806133,"10.1002/adma.201806133","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201806133","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000460329300020","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The design strategy is to anchor the long-chain polymer networks of tough hydrogels covalently to non-porous solid surfaces, which can be achieved by the silanation of such surfaces. Compared with physical interactions, the chemical anchorage results in a higher intrinsic work of adhesion and in significant energy dissipation of bulk hydrogel during detachment, which lead to interfacial toughness values over 1,000 J m(-2). We also demonstrate applications of robust hydrogel-solid hybrids, including hydrogel superglues, mechanically protective hydrogel coatings, hydrogel joints for robotic structures and robust hydrogel-metal conductors.","","","","","","","","","","","",912,986,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2016,15,2,"","","","",190,"+","","10.1038/NMAT4463","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NMAT4463","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000368766100023","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we show that high-shear mixing of graphite in suitable stabilizing liquids results in large-scale exfoliation to give dispersions of graphene nanosheets. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy show the exfoliated flakes to be unoxidized and free of basal-plane defects. We have developed a simple model that shows exfoliation to occur once the local shear rate exceeds 10(4) s(-1). By fully characterizing the scaling behaviour of the graphene production rate, we show that exfoliation can be achieved in liquid volumes from hundreds of millilitres up to hundreds of litres and beyond. The graphene produced by this method performs well in applications from composites to conductive coatings. This method can be applied to exfoliate BN, MoS2 and a range of other layered crystals.","","","","","","","","","","","",1904,2104,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,13,6,"","","","",624,630,"","10.1038/NMAT3944","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NMAT3944","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000336787000025","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Two-dimensional nanomaterials have become the predominant choice of electrode material in the pursuit of high energy and power densities owing to their large surface area-to-volume ratios and lack of solid-state diffusion(1,2). However, traditional electrode fabrication methods often lead to restacking of two-dimensional nanomaterials, which limits ion transport in thick films and results in systems in which the electrochemical performance is highly dependent on the thickness of the film(1-4). Strategies for facilitating ion transport such as increasing the interlayer spacing by intercalation(5-8) or introducing film porosity by designing nanoarchitectures(9,10)-result in materials with low volumetric energy storage as well as complex and lengthy ion transport paths that impede performance at high charge-discharge rates. Vertical alignment of two-dimensional flakes enables directional ion transport that can lead to thickness-independent electrochemical performances in thick films(11-13). However, so far only limited success(11,12) has been reported, and the mitigation of performance losses remains a major challenge when working with films of two-dimensional nanomaterials with thicknesses that are near to or exceed the industrial standard of 100 micrometres. Here we demonstrate electrochemical energy storage that is independent of film thickness for vertically aligned two-dimensional titanium carbide (Ti3C2Tx), a material from the MXene family (two dimensional carbides and nitrides of transition metals (M), where X stands for carbon or nitrogen). The vertical alignment was achieved by mechanical shearing of a discotic lamellar liquid-crystal phase of Ti3C2Tx. The resulting electrode films show excellent performance that is nearly independent of film thickness up to 200 micrometres, which makes them highly attractive for energy storage applications. Furthermore, the self-assembly approach presented here is scalable and can be extended to other systems that involve directional transport, such as catalysis and filtration.","","","","","","","","","","","",1062,1129,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 17",2018,557,7705,"","","","",409,"+","","10.1038/s41586-018-0109-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0109-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000432242000057","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Titanium carbide MXene (Ti3C2Tx), in particular, has shown significant energy-storage capability. However, previously, only micrometer-thick, nontransparent films were studied. Here, highly transparent and conductive Ti3C2Tx films and their application as transparent, solid-state supercapacitors are reported. Transparent films are fabricated via spin-casting of Ti3C2Tx nanosheet colloidal solutions, followed by vacuum annealing at 200 degrees C. Films with transmittance of 93% (approximate to 4 nm) and 29% (approximate to 88 nm) demonstrate DC conductivity of approximate to 5736 and approximate to 9880 S cm(-1), respectively. Such highly transparent, conductive Ti3C2Tx films display impressive volumetric capacitance (676 F cm(-3)) combined with fast response. Transparent solid-state, asymmetric supercapacitors (72% transmittance) based on Ti3C2Tx and single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) films are also fabricated. These electrodes exhibit high capacitance (1.6 mF cm(-2)) and energy density (0.05 mu W h cm(-2)), and long lifetime (no capacitance decay over 20 000 cycles), exceeding that of graphene or SWCNT-based transparent supercapacitor devices. Collectively, the Ti3C2Tx films are among the state-of-the-art for future transparent, conductive, capacitive electrodes, and translate into technologically viable devices for next-generation wearable, portable electronics.","","","","","","","","","","","",943,984,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 27",2017,29,36,"","","","","","",1702678,"10.1002/adma.201702678","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201702678","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000411379000027","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Micro plastic contamination of soils is being increasingly documented, with potential consequences for soil biodiversity and function. Notwithstanding, data on effects of such contaminants on fundamental properties potentially impacting soil biota are lacking. The present study explores the potential of microplastics to disturb vital relationships between soil and water, as well as its consequences for soil structure and microbial function. During a 5-weeks garden experiment we exposed a loamy sand soil to environmentally relevant nominal concentrations (up to 2%) of four common microplastic types (polyacrylic fibers, polyamide beads, polyester fibers, and polyethylene fragments). Then, we measured bulk density, water holding capacity, hydraulic conductivity, soil aggregation, and microbial activity. Microplastics affected the bulk density, water holding capacity, and the functional relationship between the microbial activity and water stable aggregates. The effects are underestimated if idiosyncrasies of particle type and concentrations are neglected, suggesting that purely qualitative environmental microplastic data might be of limited value for the assessment of effects in soil. If extended to other soils and plastic types, the processes unravelled here suggest that microplastics are relevant long-term anthropogenic stressors and drivers of global change in terrestrial ecosystems.","","","","","","","","","","","",1076,1142,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 4",2018,52,17,"","","","",9656,9665,"","10.1021/acs.est.8b02212","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.8b02212","","","","","","Engineering; Environmental Sciences & Ecology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000444061100012","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Although no apparent changes in the lithium concentration in LiPON can be observed, we visualize the direct deposition of Li inside the bulk LLZO and Li3PS4. Our findings suggest the high electronic conductivity of LLZO and Li3PS4 is mostly responsible for dendrite formation in these SEs.

Existing adhesives are cytotoxic, adhere weakly to tissues, or cannot be used in wet environments. We report a bioinspired design for adhesives consisting of two layers: an adhesive surface and a dissipative matrix. The former adheres to the substrate by electrostatic interactions, covalent bonds, and physical interpenetration. The latter amplifies energy dissipation through hysteresis. The two layers synergistically lead to higher adhesion energies on wet surfaces as compared with those of existing adhesives. Adhesion occurs within minutes, independent of blood exposure and compatible with in vivo dynamic movements. This family of adhesives may be useful in many areas of application, including tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and tissue repair.","","","","","","","","","","","",1214,1304,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 28",2017,357,6349,"","","","",378,381,"","10.1126/science.aah6362","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aah6362","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000406362300039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the ultrathin graphene shells strongly promote electron penetration from the CoNi nanoalloy to the graphene surface. With nitrogen dopants, they synergistically increase the electron density on the graphene surface, which results in superior HER activity on the graphene shells.","","","","","","","","","","","",1160,1202,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 9",2015,54,7,"","","","",2100,2104,"","10.1002/anie.201409524","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.201409524","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000349391000013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Another electrokinetic phenomenon, called the streaming potential, occurs when an electrolyte is driven through narrow pores either by a pressure gradient(4) or by an osmotic potential resulting from a salt concentration gradient(5). For this task, membranes made of two-dimensional materials are expected to be the most efficient, because water transport through a membrane scales inversely with membrane thickness(5-7). Here we demonstrate the use of single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanopores as osmotic nanopower generators. We observe a large, osmotically induced current produced from a salt gradient with an estimated power density of up to 10(6) watts per square metre-a current that can be attributed mainly to the atomically thin membrane of MoS2. Low power requirements for nanoelectronic and optoelectric devices can be provided by a neighbouring nanogenerator that harvests energy from the local environment(8-11)-for example, a piezoelectric zinc oxide nanowire array(8) or single-layer MoS2 (ref. 12).

Cation-anion combinations that exhibit low volatility coupled with high electrochemical and thermal stability, as well as ionic conductivity, create the possibility of designing ideal electrolytes for batteries, super-capacitors, actuators, dye sensitised solar cells and thermo-electrochemical cells. In the field of water splitting to produce hydrogen they have been used to synthesize some of the best performing water oxidation catalysts and some members of the protic ionic liquid family co-catalyse an unusual, very high energy efficiency water oxidation process. As fuel cell electrolytes, the high proton conductivity of some of the protic ionic liquid family offers the potential of fuel cells operating in the optimum temperature region above 100 degrees C. Beyond electrochemical applications, the low vapour pressure of these liquids, along with their ability to offer tuneable functionality, also makes them ideal as CO2 absorbents for post-combustion CO2 capture. Similarly, the tuneable phase properties of the many members of this large family of salts are also allowing the creation of phase-change thermal energy storage materials having melting points tuned to the application.

The high-quality 2D crystals exhibit efficient photoluminescence, and color tuning could be achieved by changing sheet thickness as well as composition via the synthesis of related materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",1166,1277,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 25",2015,349,6255,"","","","",1518,1521,"","10.1126/science.aac7660","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aac7660","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000361707000042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, unlike graphene, 3D MXene macroassembly directly from the individual 2D sheets is hard to achieve for the intrinsic property of MXene. Here a new gelation method is reported to prepare a 3D structured hydrogel from 2D MXene sheets that is assisted by graphene oxide and a suitable reductant. As a supercapacitor electrode, the hydrogel delivers a superb capacitance up to 370 F g(-1) at 5 A g(-1), and more promisingly, demonstrates an exceptionally high rate performance with the capacitance of 165 F g(-1) even at 1000 A g(-1). Moreover, using controllable drying processes, MXene hydrogels are transformed into different monoliths with structures ranging from a loosely organized porous aerogel to a dense solid. As a result, a 3D porous MXene aerogel shows excellent adsorption capacity to simultaneously remove various classes of organic liquids and heavy metal ions while the dense solid has excellent mechanical performance with a high Young's modulus and hardness.","","","","","","","","","","","",407,421,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2019,29,33,"","","","","","",1903960,"10.1002/adfm.201903960","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201903960","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000482137900026","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Developing cheap yet durable substitutes of precious-metal catalysts, especially the bifunctional electrocatalysts with high activity for both ORR and OER reactions and their streamlined coupling process, are highly desirable to reduce the processing cost and complexity of renewable energy systems. Here, a facile strategy is reported for synthesizing double-shelled hybrid nanocages with outer shells of Co-N-doped graphitic carbon (Co-NGC) and inner shells of N-doped microporous carbon (NC) by templating against core-shell metal-organic frameworks. The double-shelled NC@Co-NGC nanocages well integrate the high activity of Co-NGC shells into the robust NC hollow framework with enhanced diffusion kinetics, exhibiting superior electrocatalytic properties to Pt and RuO2 as a bifunctional electrocatalyst for ORR and OER, and hold a promise as efficient air electrode catalysts in Zn-air batteries. First-principles calculations reveal that the high catalytic activities of Co-NGC shells are due to the synergistic electron transfer and redistribution between the Co nanoparticles, the graphitic carbon, and the doped N species. Strong yet favorable adsorption of an OOH* intermediate on the high density of uncoordinated hollowsite C atoms with respect to the Co lattice in the Co-NGC structure is a vital rate-determining step to achieve excellent bifunctional electrocatalytic activity.","","","","","","","","","","","",735,757,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 18",2017,29,31,"","","","","","",1700874,"10.1002/adma.201700874","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201700874","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000407565700013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the biochar has a saturated adsorption capacity when it is used as a pollutant adsorbent. Recent efforts have been made to prepare biochar and biochar-based catalysts with enhanced catalytic properties to expand their potential applications. The environmental persistent free radicals (EPFRs) of biochar could react with O-2 to induce hydroxyl radicals (center dot OH) without the addition of oxidants. When oxidants were added, biochar and biochar-based catalysts could activate them to generate center dot OH and sulfate radicals (SO4 center dot-), respectively. Moreover, biochar could act as an electron acceptor to improve the photodegradation capacity of catalysts. With reference to the information regarding biochar and biochar-based catalysts, this work provides a critical review on recent research development as follows: 1) the preparations of various types of biochar and biochar-based catalysts are summarized; 2) the effects of the synthetic conditions and transition metals on the catalytic activity of biochar-based catalysts are discussed; (3) methods for characterizing the active sites of the biochar-based catalysts are described; and (4) the environmental applications of biochar and biochar-based catalysts are discussed with regards to three aspects based on the interaction mechanisms, namely, oxidation, reduction, and photocatalysis. The synthesis conditions and loading of metal/metal-free catalyst are key parameters controlling the catalysis activity of biochar and biochar-based catalysts. This review provides new insights into the application of biochar in catalysis. Key challenges and further research directions are proposed as well. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.

The antibacterial performance and accelerated wound-healing ability of hydrogel are systematically evaluated with the aim of attaining a novel and effective wound dressing. The as-prepared hydrogel with the optimal Ag to graphene mass ratio of 5:1 (Ag5G1) exhibits stronger antibacterial abilities than other hydrogels. Meanwhile, Ag5G1 hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility, high swelling ratio, and good extensibility. More importantly, in vivo experiments indicate that Ag5G1 hydrogel can significantly accelerate the healing rate of artificial wounds in rats, and histological examination reveals that it helps to successfully reconstruct intact and thickened epidermis during 15 day of healing of impaired wounds.

In addition to the basic optoelectronic properties essential for an efficient photovoltaic device (spectrally suitable band gap, high optical absorption, low carrier effective masses), the materials are structurally and compositionally flexible. As we show, hybrid perovskites exhibit spontaneous electric polarization; we also suggest ways in which this can be tuned through judicious choice of the organic cation. The presence of ferroelectric domains will result in internal junctions that may aid separation of photoexcited electron and hole pairs, and reduction of recombination through segregation of charge carriers. The combination of high dielectric constant and low effective mass promotes both Wannier-Mott exciton separation and effective ionization of donor and acceptor defects.

Herein, a new type of atomically dispersed Co doped carbon catalyst with a core-shell structure has been developed via a surfactant-assisted metal-organic framework approach. The cohesive interactions between the selected surfactant and the Co-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8) nanocrystals lead to a unique confinement effect. During the thermal activation, this confinement effect suppressed the agglomeration of Co atomic sites and mitigated the collapse of internal microporous structures of ZIF-8. Among the studied surfactants, Pluronic F127 block copolymer led to the greatest performance gains with a doubling of the active site density relative to that of the surfactant-free catalyst. According to density functional theory calculations, unlike other Co catalysts, this new atomically dispersed Co-N-C@F127 catalyst is believed to contain substantial CoN2+2 sites, which are active and thermodynamically favorable for the four-electron ORR pathway. The Co-N-C@F127 catalyst exhibits an unprecedented ORR activity with a half-wave potential (E-1/2) of 0.84 V (vs. RHE) as well as enhanced stability in the corrosive acidic media. It also demonstrated high initial performance with a power density of 0.87 W cm(-2) along with encouraging durability in H-2-O-2 fuel cells.

However, hydrogels used as synthetic ECMs for three-dimensional (3D) culture are typically elastic. Here, we report a materials approach to tune the rate of stress relaxation of hydrogels for 3D culture, independently of the hydrogel's initial elastic modulus, degradation, and cell-adhesion-ligand density. We find that cell spreading, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are all enhanced in cells cultured in gels with faster relaxation. Strikingly, MSCs form a mineralized, collagen-1-rich matrix similar to bone in rapidly relaxing hydrogels with an initial elastic modulus of 17 kPa. We also show that the effects of stress relaxation are mediated by adhesion-ligand binding, actomyosin contractility and mechanical clustering of adhesion ligands. Our findings highlight stress relaxation as a key characteristic of cell-ECM interactions and as an important design parameter of biomaterials for cell culture.","","","","","","","","","","","",1758,1971,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2016,15,3,"","","","",326,"+","","10.1038/NMAT4489","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NMAT4489","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000370967400019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, an insufficient mechanistic understanding and the lack of efficient catalysts for the urea oxidation reaction have hampered the development of such applications. Here we demonstrate that a nickel ferrocyanide (Ni2Fe(CN)(6)) catalyst supported on Ni foam can drive the urea oxidation reaction with a higher activity and better stability than those of conventional Ni-based catalysts. Our experimental and computational data suggest a urea oxidation reaction pathway different from most other Ni-based catalysts that comprise NiOOH derivatives as the catalytically active compound. Ni2Fe(CN)(6) appears to be able to directly facilitate a two-stage reaction pathway that involves an intermediate ammonia production (on the Ni site) and its decomposition to N-2 (on the Fe site). Owing to the different rate-determining steps with more favourable thermal/kinetic energetics, Ni2Fe(CN)(6) achieves a 100 mA cm(-2) anodic current density at a potential of 1.35 V (equal to an overpotential of 0.98 V). Urea oxidation could be a lower-energy alternative to water oxidation in hydrogen-producing electrolysers, but improved catalysts are required to facilitate the reaction. Geng et al. report nickel ferrocyanide as a promising catalyst and suggest that it operates via a different pathway to that of previous materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",317,326,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2021,6,9,"","","","",904,912,"","10.1038/s41560-021-00899-2","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41560-021-00899-2","","","","","","Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000698946300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we report a single-atom catalyst, Cu/UiO-66, prepared by a covalent attachment of Cu atoms to the defect sites at the zirconium oxide clusters of the metal-organic framework (MOF) UiO-66. Kinetic measurements show this catalyst to be highly active and stable under realistic reaction conditions for two important test reactions, the oxidation of CO at temperatures up to 350 degrees C, which makes this interesting for application in catalytic converters for cars, and for CO removal via selective oxidation of CO in H-2-rich feed gases, where it shows an excellent selectivity of about 100% for CO oxidation. Time-resolved operando spectroscopy measurements indicate that the activity of the catalyst is associated with atomically dispersed, positively charged ionic Cu species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations in combination with experimental data show that Cu binds to the MOF by -OH/-OH2 ligands capping the defect sites at the Zr oxide clusters.","","","","","","","","","","","",399,423,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 3",2019,141,13,"","","","",5201,5210,"","10.1021/jacs.8b11386","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.8b11386","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000463843700024","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, a plant-inspired adhesive hydrogel has been developed based on Ag-Lignin nanoparticles (NPs)triggered dynamic redox catechol chemistry. Ag-Lignin NPs construct the dynamic catechol redox system, which creates long-lasting reductive-oxidative environment inner hydrogel networks. This redox system, generating catechol groups continuously, endows the hydrogel with long-term and repeatable adhesiveness. Furthermore, Ag-Lignin NPs generate free radicals and trigger self-gelation of the hydrogel under ambient environment. This hydrogel presents high toughness for the existence of covalent and non-covalent interaction in the hydrogel networks. The hydrogel also possesses good cell affinity and high antibacterial activity due to the catechol groups and bactericidal ability of Ag-Lignin NPs. This study proposes a strategy to design tough and adhesive hydrogels based on dynamic plant catechol chemistry.","","","","","","","","","","","",835,867,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 2",2019,10,"","","","","","","",1487,"10.1038/s41467-019-09351-2","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09351-2","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000462985600005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, specific issues arise when working with these entities, whose size and amount often make them difficult to obtain as relatively pure preparations, and to characterize properly. The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) proposed Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV) guidelines for the field in 2014. We now update these MISEV2014 guidelines based on evolution of the collective knowledge in the last four years. An important point to consider is that ascribing a specific function to EVs in general, or to subtypes of EVs, requires reporting of specific information beyond mere description of function in a crude, potentially contaminated, and heterogeneous preparation. For example, claims that exosomes are endowed with exquisite and specific activities remain difficult to support experimentally, given our still limited knowledge of their specific molecular machineries of biogenesis and release, as compared with other biophysically similar EVs. The MISEV2018 guidelines include tables and outlines of suggested protocols and steps to follow to document specific EV-associated functional activities. Finally, a checklist is provided with summaries of key points.","","","","","","","","","","","",7131,7463,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 23",2018,7,1,"","","","","","",1535750,"10.1080/20013078.2018.1535750","http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/20013078.2018.1535750","","","","","","Cell Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000452068900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the atomic-level control of active sites is essential for electrocatalytic materials in alkaline electrolyte. Moreover, well-defined surface structures lead to in-depth understanding of catalytic mechanisms. Herein, we report a single-atomic-site ruthenium stabilized on defective nickel-iron layered double hydroxide nanosheets (Ru-1/D-NiFe LDH). Under precise regulation of local coordination environments of catalytically active sites and the existence of the defects, Ru-1/D-NiFe LDH delivers an ultralow overpotential of 18mV at 10mAcm(-2) for hydrogen evolution reaction, surpassing the commercial Pt/C catalyst. Density functional theory calculations reveal that Ru-1/D-NiFe LDH optimizes the adsorption energies of intermediates for hydrogen evolution reaction and promotes the O-O coupling at a Ru-O active site for oxygen evolution reaction. The Ru-1/D-NiFe LDH as an ideal model reveals superior water splitting performance with potential for the development of promising water-alkali electrocatalysts. Rational design of single atom catalyst is critical for efficient sustainable energy conversion.

Therefore, black phosphorus is an appealing candidate for tunable photodetection from the visible to the infrared part of the spectrum. We study the photoresponse of field-effect transistors (FETs) made of few-layer black phosphorus (3-8 nm thick), as a function of excitation wavelength, power, and frequency. In the dark state, the black phosphorus FETs can be tuned both in hole and electron doping regimes allowing for ambipolar operation. We measure mobilities in the order of 100 cm(2)/V s and a current ON/OFF ratio larger than 10(3). Upon illumination, the black phosphorus transistors show a response to excitation wavelengths from the visible region up to 940 nm and a rise time of about 1 ms, demonstrating broadband and fast detection. The responsivity reaches 4.8 mA/W, and it could be drastically enhanced by engineering a detector based on a PN junction. The ambipolar behavior coupled to the fast and broadband photodetection make few-layer black phosphorus a promising 2D material for photodetection across the visible and near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.","","","","","","","","","","","",1521,1638,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,14,6,"","","","",3347,3352,"","10.1021/nl5008085","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nl5008085","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000337337100056","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this work, a series of sulfur-doped g-C3N4 (SCN)/TiO2 S-scheme photocatalysts were synthesized using electrospinning and calcination methods. The as-prepared SCN/TiO2 composites showed superior photocatalytic performance than pure TiO2 and SCN in the photocatalytic degradation of Congo Red (CR) aqueous solution. The significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity benefited not only from the 1D well-distributed nanostructure, but also from the S-scheme heterojunction. Furthermore, the XPS analyses and DFT calculations demonstrated that electrons were transferred from SCN to TiO2 across the interface of the SCN/TiO2 composites. The built-in electric field, band edge bending, and Coulomb interaction synergistically facilitated the recombination of relatively useless electrons and holes in hybrid when the interface was irradiated by simulated solar light. Therefore, the remaining electrons and holes with higher reducibility and oxidizability endowed the composite with supreme redox ability. These results were adequately verified by radical trapping experiments, ESR tests, and in situ XPS analyses, suggesting that the electron immigration in the photocatalyst followed the S-scheme heterojunction mechanism. This work can enrich our knowledge of the design and fabrication of novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts and provide a promising strategy for solving environmental pollution in the future.

However, this strategy is restricted by insufficient light harvesting and high photogenerated electron-hole recombination rates of TiO2-based photocatalysts. Here, a graphene-modified WO3/TiO2 step-scheme heterojunction (S-scheme heterojunction) composite photocatalyst was fabricated by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. In the ternary composite, TiO2 and WO3 nanoparticles adhered closely to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and formed a novel S-scheme heterojunction. Moreover, rGO in the composite not only supplied abundant adsorption and catalytically active sites as an ideal support but also promoted electron separation and transfer from the conduction band of TiO2 by forming a Schottky junction between TiO2 and rGO. The positive cooperative effect of the S-scheme heterojunction formed between WO3 and TiO2 and the Schottky heterojunction formed between TiO2 and graphene sheets suppressed the recombination of relatively useful electrons and holes. This effect also enhanced the light harvesting and promoted the reduction reaction at the active sites. Thus, the novel ternary WO3/TiO2/rGO composite demonstrated a remarkably enhanced photocatalytic H-2 evolution rate of 245.8 Fmol g(-1) h(-1), which was approximately 3.5-fold that of pure TiO2.

The experimental data and density functional theory simulations proved that the reactive oxygen species generated during dopamine polymerization catalyze the nucleophilic reactions of the COF, thus facilitating the counter-diffusion growth of thin COF layers. Notably, dopamine can eliminate the defects in the stacked COF by soldering the COF crystals, fortifying the mechanical properties of the ultrathin COF membranes. The COF membranes exhibited ultrafast precision sieving for molecular separation and ion removal in both aqueous and organic solvents, which surpasses that of state-of-the-art membranes.","","","","","","","","","","","",288,295,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2021,7,13,"","","","","","","eabe8706","10.1126/sciadv.abe8706","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.abe8706","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000633443600026","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The increased polymer chain dynamics under nanoconfinement significantly reduces the modulus of the conjugated polymer and largely delays the onset of crack formation under strain. As a result, our fabricated semiconducting film can be stretched up to 100% strain without affecting mobility, retaining values comparable to that of amorphous silicon.

Covalently attaching a CO2-to-CO conversion photocatalyst Re-I(CO)(3)(BPYDC)Cl, BPYDC = 2,2'-bipyridine-5,5'-dicarboxylate, to a zirconium MOF, UiO-67 (Re-n-MOF), prevents dimerization leading to deactivation.

Structural analysis of Re-MOFs suggests that a fine balance of proximity between photoactive centers is needed for cooperatively enhanced photocatalytic activity, where an optimum number of Re complexes per unit cell should reach the highest activity. Based on the structure-activity correlation of Ren-M0Fs, Rea-MOF was coated onto Ag nanocubes (AgCRe3-MOF), which spatially confined photoactive Re centers to the intensified near-surface electric fields at the surface of Ag nanocubes, resulting in a 7-fold enhancement of CO2-to-CO conversion under visible light with long-term stability maintained up to 48 h.","","","","","","","","","","","",527,554,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 11",2017,139,1,"","","","",356,362,"","10.1021/jacs.6b11027","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6b11027","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000392036900054","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The traditional understanding of the OER mechanism on metal oxides involves four concerted proton-electron transfer steps on metal-ion centres at their surface and product oxygen molecules derived from water. Here, using in situ O-18 isotope labelling mass spectrometry, we provide direct experimental evidence that the O-2 generated during the OER on some highly active oxides can come from lattice oxygen. The oxides capable of lattice-oxygen oxidation also exhibit pH-dependent OER activity on the reversible hydrogen electrode scale, indicating non-concerted proton-electron transfers in the OER mechanism. Based on our experimental data and density functional theory calculations, we discuss mechanisms that are fundamentally different from the conventional scheme and show that increasing the covalency of metal-oxygen bonds is critical to trigger lattice-oxygen oxidation and enable non-concerted proton-electron transfers during OER.","","","","","","","","","","","",1718,1786,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2017,9,5,"","","","",457,465,"","10.1038/NCHEM.2695","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NCHEM.2695","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000399785500013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

For related Ni-based materials, the addition of Fe dramatically enhances OER activity. The role of Fe in Co-based materials is not well-documented. We show that the intrinsic OER activity of Co1-xFex(OOH) is similar to 100-fold higher for x approximate to 0.6-0.7 than for x = 0 on a per-metal turnover frequency basis. Fe-free CoOOH absorbs Fe from electrolyte impurities if the electrolyte is not rigorously purified. Fe incorporation and increased activity correlate with an anodic shift in the nominally Co2+/3+ redox wave, indicating strong electronic interactions between the two elements and likely substitutional doping of Fe for Co. In situ electrical measurements show that Co1-xFex(OOH) is conductive under OER conditions (similar to 0.7-4 mS cm(-1) at similar to 300 mV overpotential), but that FeOOH is an insulator with measurable conductivity (2.2 x 10(-2) mS cm(-1)) only at high overpotentials >400 mV. The apparent OER activity of FeOOH is thus limited by low conductivity. Microbalance measurements show that films with x >= 0.54 (i.e., Fe-rich) dissolve in 1 M KOH electrolyte under OER conditions. For x < 0.54, the films appear chemically stable, but the OER activity decreases by 16-62% over 2 h, likely due to conversion into denser, oxide-like phases. We thus hypothesize that Fe is the most-active site in the catalyst, while CoOOH primarily provides a conductive, high-surface area, chemically stabilizing host. These results are important as Fe-containing Co- and Ni-(oxy)hydroxides are the fastest OER catalysts known.","","","","","","","","","","","",1655,1743,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 18",2015,137,10,"","","","",3638,3648,"","10.1021/jacs.5b00281","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5b00281","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000351420800034","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Recent progress has resulted in macro-assemblies of graphene, such as bulk graphene aerogels for a variety of applications. However, these three-dimensional (3D) graphenes exhibit physicochemical property attenuation compared to their 2D building blocks because of one-fold composition and tortuous, stochastic porous networks.

Here, we report the fabrication of 3D periodic graphene composite aerogel microlattices for supercapacitor applications, via a 3D printing technique known as direct-ink writing.

The 3D-printed graphene composite aerogel (3D-GCA) electrodes are lightweight, highly conductive, and exhibit excellent electrochemical properties. In particular, the supercapacitors using these 3D-GCA electrodes with thicknesses on the order of millimeters display exceptional capacitive retention (ca. 90% from 0.5 to 10 A. g(-1)) and power densities (>4 kW.kg(-1)) that equal or exceed those of reported devices made with electrodes 10-100 times thinner.

Here we report a one-step, scalable approach for producing and patterning porous graphene films with three-dimensional networks from commercial polymer films using a CO2 infrared laser. The sp(3)-carbon atoms are photothermally converted to sp(2)-carbon atoms by pulsed laser irradiation. The resulting laserinduced graphene (LIG) exhibits high electrical conductivity. The LIG can be readily patterned to interdigitated electrodes for in-plane microsupercapacitors with specific capacitances of >4 mFcm(-2) and power densities of similar to 9 mWcm(-2). Theoretical calculations partially suggest that enhanced capacitance may result from LIG's unusual ultra-polycrystalline lattice of pentagon-heptagon structures. Combined with the advantage of one-step processing of LIG in air from commercial polymer sheets, which would allow the employment of a roll-to-roll manufacturing process, this technique provides a rapid route to polymer-written electronic and energy storage devices.","","","","","","","","","","","",1617,1770,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2014,5,"","","","","","","","","10.1038/ncomms6714","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms6714","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000347229300010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Although solid-state lithium (Li)-metal batteries promise both high energy density and safety, existing solid ion conductors fail to satisfy the rigorous requirements of battery operations. Inorganic ion conductors allow fast ion transport, but their rigid and brittle nature prevents good interfacial contact with electrodes. Conversely, polymer ion conductors that are Li-metal-stable usually provide better interfacial compatibility and mechanical tolerance, but typically suffer from inferior ionic conductivity owing to the coupling of the ion transport with the motion of the polymer chains(1-3). Here we report a general strategy for achieving high-performance solid polymer ion conductors by engineering of molecular channels. Through the coordination of copper ions (Cu2+) with one-dimensional cellulose nanofibrils, we show that the opening of molecular channels within the normally ion-insulating cellulose enables rapid transport of Li+ ions along the polymer chains. In addition to high Li+ conductivity (1.5 x 10(-3) siemens per centimetre at room temperature along the molecular chain direction), the Cu2+-coordinated cellulose ion conductor also exhibits a high transference number (0.78, compared with 0.2-0.5 in other polymers(2)) and a wide window of electrochemical stability (0-4.5 volts) that can accommodate both the Li-metal anode and high-voltage cathodes.

A model photosynthetic system employing a composite of semiconductors with a Z-scheme can potentially mimic the combined power of photosystems 1 and 2 to transfer electrons. In this work, octahedral cuprous oxide covered with titanium dioxide nanoparticles (Cu2O/TiO2) are synthesized by a solvothermal strategy that provides high morphological and crystallographic control. The formation of a p-n heterojunction and characterization of the Type II band alignment of the composite are performed by diffuse reflectance UV-visible (DRUV) spectroscopy, ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Upon UV-visible irradiation (lambda >= 305 nm) of the composite in the presence of water vapor as the hole scavenger, the photoreduction of CO2(g) proceeds selectively to generate CO(g). The production rate of CO by the composite, R-CO = 2.11 mu mol g(cat)(-1) h(-1), is 4-times larger than for pure Cu2O under identical conditions. Contrasting XPS analyses of Cu2O and Cu2O/TiO2, during photocatalysts operation and the detection of photogenerated hydroxyl radicals (HO center dot) in the heterostructure at variance with the results obtained for pure Cu2O are taken as evidences that TiO2 protects Cu2O from undergoing photocorrosion. These results provide direct evidence of an efficient Z-scheme as the main mechanism for harvesting energy during CO2 reduction in the synthesized materials. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.

Here we show that many common lichens are composed of the known ascomycete, the photosynthesizing partner, and, unexpectedly, specific basidiomycete yeasts.

Basidiomycete lineages maintain close associations with specific lichen species over large geographical distances and have been found on six continents.

The high energy density results from the conversion mechanism that lithium-sulfur cells utilize. The sulfur cathode, being naturally abundant and environmentally friendly, makes lithium-sulfur batteries a potential next-generation energy-storage technology. The current state of the research indicates that lithium-sulfur cells are now at the point of transitioning from laboratory-scale devices to a more practical energy-storage application.

This unusual atomic constitution of supported metals is suggestive of a new approach to preparing extremely efficient single-atom catalysts.","","","","","","","","","","","",1468,1527,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2015,6,"","","","","","","",8668,"10.1038/ncomms9668","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9668","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000364936200011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we demonstrate a general approach to synthesizing a series of Zn-based MAX phases and Cl-terminated MXenes originating from the replacement reaction between the MAX phase and the late transition-metal halides. The approach is a top-down route that enables the late transitional element atom (Zn in the present case) to occupy the A site in the pre-existing MAX phase structure. Using this replacement reaction between the Zn element from molten ZnCl2 and the Al element in MAX phase precursors (Ti3AlC2, Ti2AlC, Ti2AlN, and V2AlC), novel MAX phases Ti3ZnC2, Ti2ZnC, Ti2ZnN, and V2ZnC were synthesized. When employing excess ZnCl2, Cl-terminated MXenes (such as Ti3C2Cl2 and Ti2CCl2) were derived by a subsequent exfoliation of Ti3ZnC2 and Ti2ZnC due to the strong Lewis acidity of molten ZnCl2. These results indicate that A-site element replacement in traditional MAX phases by late transition-metal halides opens the door to explore MAX phases that are not thermodynamically stable at high temperature and would be difficult to synthesize through the commonly employed powder metallurgy approach. In addition, this is the first time that exclusively Cl-terminated MXenes were obtained, and the etching effect of Lewis acid in molten salts provides a green and viable route to preparing MXenes through an HF-free chemical approach.","","","","","","","","","","","",1024,1083,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 20",2019,141,11,"","","","",4730,4737,"","10.1021/jacs.9b00574","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.9b00574","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000462260400032","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, electronic properties of individual MXene flakes, which are important for understanding the potential of these materials, remain largely unexplored. Herein, a modified synthetic method is reported for producing high-quality monolayer Ti(3)C(2)Tx flakes. Field-effect transistors (FETs) based on monolayer Ti(3)C(2)Tx flakes are fabricated and their electronic properties are measured. Individual Ti(3)C(2)Tx flakes exhibit a high conductivity of 4600 +/- 1100 S cm(-1) and field-effect electron mobility of 2.6 +/- 0.7 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). The resistivity of multilayer Ti(3)C(2)Tx films is only one order of magnitude higher than the resistivity of individual flakes, which indicates a surprisingly good electron transport through the surface terminations of different flakes, unlike in many other 2D materials. Finally, the fabricated FETs are used to investigate the environmental stability and kinetics of oxidation of Ti(3)C(2)Tx flakes in humid air. The high-quality Ti(3)C(2)Tx flakes are reasonably stable and remain highly conductive even after their exposure to air for more than 24 h.

Perovskite solar cells stem from dye-sensitized solar cells. In a liquid-based dye-sensitized solar cell structure, the adsorption of methylammonium lead halide perovskite on a nanocrystalline TiO2 surface produces a photocurrent with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of around 3-4%, as first discovered in 2009. The PCE was doubled after 2 years by optimizing the perovskite coating conditions. However, the liquid-based perovskite solar cell receives little attention because of its stability issues, including instant dissolution of the perovskite in a liquid electrolyte. A long-term, stable, and high efficiency (similar to 10%) perovskite solar cell was developed in 2012 by substituting the solid hole conductor with a liquid electrolyte. Efficiencies have quickly risen to 18% in just 2 years. Since PCE values over 20% are realistically anticipated with the use of cheap organometal halide perovskite materials, perovskite solar cells are a promising photovoltaic technology. In this review, the opto-electronic properties of perovskite materials and recent progresses in perovskite solar cells are described.

Dissolution of lithium polysulfides, volume expansion of sulfur and uncontrollable deposition of lithium sulfide are three of the main challenges for this technology. State-of-the-art sulfur cathodes based on metal-oxide nanostructures can suppress the shuttle-effect and enable controlled lithium sulfide deposition. However, a clear mechanistic understanding and corresponding selection criteria for the oxides are still lacking. Herein, various nonconductive metal-oxide nanoparticle-decorated carbon flakes are synthesized via a facile biotemplating method. The cathodes based on magnesium oxide, cerium oxide and lanthanum oxide show enhanced cycling performance. Adsorption experiments and theoretical calculations reveal that polysulfide capture by the oxides is via monolayered chemisorption. Moreover, we show that better surface diffusion leads to higher deposition efficiency of sulfide species on electrodes. Hence, oxide selection is proposed to balance optimization between sulfide-adsorption and diffusion on the oxides.","","","","","","","","","","","",1247,1319,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2016,7,"","","","","","","",11203,"10.1038/ncomms11203","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms11203","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000373622000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Common cotton gauze suffers from incomplete joint surface coverage, confinement of joint movement, lack of antibacterial function, and frequent replacements. Hydrogels have been considered as good candidates for wound dressing because of their good flexibility and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, the adhesive, mechanical, and antibacterial properties of conventional hydrogels are not satisfactory. Herein, cationic polyelectrolyte brushes grafted from bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers are introduced into polydopamine/polyacrylamide hydrogels. The 1D polymer brushes have rigid BC backbones to enhance mechanical property of hydrogels, realizing high tensile strength (21-51 kPa), large tensile strain (899-1047%), and ideal compressive property. Positively charged quaternary ammonium groups of tethered polymer brushes provide long-lasting antibacterial property to hydrogels and promote crawling and proliferation of negatively charged epidermis cells. Moreover, the hydrogels are rich in catechol groups and capable of adhering to various surfaces, meeting adhesive demand of large movement for special areas. With the above merits, the hydrogels demonstrate less inflammatory response and faster healing speed for in vivo wound healing on rats. Therefore, the multifunctional hydrogels show stable covering, little displacement, long-lasting antibacteria, and fast wound healing, demonstrating promise in wound dressing.","","","","","","","","","","","",439,452,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2021,8,8,"","","","","","",2003627,"10.1002/advs.202003627","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.202003627","","MAR 2021","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000625411600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Co-based species have been considered as a potential candidate to replace the precious RuO2 to electrocatalyze oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-67 (ZIF-67), a Co-containing MOF, may be an excellent precursor for single-atom OER electrocatalysts due to its rich and uniform distribution of cobalt species. In principle, Co ions are fully coordinated (except for those on the surfaces) in ZIF-67 without accessible sites for electrocatalysis. One way to utilize this single-atom material as electrocatalysts is to remove some of the ligands attached to Co atoms to create coordinately unsaturated metal sites (CUMSs) as the catalytic centers for OER. Herein, we, for the first time, have created CUMSs in ZIF-67 through dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma etching. The CUMSs act as excellent catalytic centers for OER with a promising electrocatalytic activity, even comparable to the precious RuO2. Interestingly, the OER activity of the CUMSs is reversible by supplementing the missing ligands.

Non-noble-metal NiS and MoS2 nanosheet co-modified graphitic C3N4 ternary heterostructure has been synthesized via a facile combination of hydrothermal and ultrasound method, and the ternary heterostructure has been utilized for photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic agents. The antibiotics of ciprofloxacin (CIP) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) were photodegraded by the hybrid under the visible light. The optimal photodegradation rate of the ternary heterostructure reaches about 96% after 2 h irradiation, which is 2.1 times higher than that of pure g-C3N4 for TC degradation. The photocatalytic degradation rates of the ternary heterostructure for both CIP and TC obey the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The enhanced visible light adsorption and charge separation efficiency contribute to the photocatalytic performance of the ternary heterostructure.

Here, a facile solution reduction method is demonstrated for mesoporous Co3O4 nanowires treated with NaBH4. The high-surface-area mesopore feature leads to efficient surface reduction in solution at room temperature, which allows for retention of the nanowire morphology and 1D charge transport behavior, while at the same time substantially increasing the oxygen vacancies on the nanowire surface. Compared to pristine Co3O4 nanowires, the reduced Co3O4 nanowires exhibit a much larger current of 13.1 mA cm(-2) at 1.65 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and a much lower onset potential of 1.52 V vs RHE. Electrochemical supercapacitors based on the reduced Co3O4 nanowires also show a much improved capacitance of 978 F g(-1) and reduced charge transfer resistance. Density-functional theory calculations reveal that the existence of oxygen vacancies leads to the formation of new gap states in which the electrons previously associated with the Co-O bonds tend to be delocalized, resulting in the much higher electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity.","","","","","","","","","","","",635,644,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 18",2014,4,16,"","","","","","",1400696,"10.1002/aenm.201400696","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/aenm.201400696","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000345314800010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Conductive hydrogels hold great promise as sensing materials for these applications. However, their sensitivities are generally low, and they suffer from signal hysteresis and fluctuation due to their viscoelastic property, which can compromise their sensing performance. We demonstrate that hydrogel composites incorporating MXene (Ti3C2Tx) outperform all reported hydrogels for strain sensors. The obtained composite hydrogel [MXene-based hydrogel (M-hydrogel)] exhibits outstanding tensile strain sensitivity with a gauge factor (GF) of 25, which is 10 times higher than that of pristine hydrogel. Furthermore, the M-hydrogel exhibits remarkable stretchability of more than 3400%, an instantaneous self-healing ability, excellent conformability, and adhesiveness to various surfaces, including human skin. The M-hydrogel composite exhibits much higher sensitivity under compressive strains (GF of 80) than under tensile strains. We exploit this asymmetrical strain sensitivity coupled with viscous deformation (self-recoverable residual deformation) to add new dimensions to the sensing capability of hydrogels. Consequently, both the direction and speed of motions on the hydrogel surface can be detected conveniently. Based on this effect, M-hydrogel demonstrates superior sensing performance in advanced sensing applications. Thus, the traditionally disadvantageous viscoelastic property of hydrogels can be transformed into an advantage for sensing, which reveals prospects for hydrogel sensors.","","","","","","","","","","","",656,686,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2018,4,6,"","","","","","","eaat0098","10.1126/sciadv.aat0098","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aat0098","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000443175500055","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Unfortunately, manganese dioxide suffers from substantial phase changes (e.g., from initial alpha-, beta-, or gamma-phase to a layered structure and subsequent structural collapse) during cycling, leading to very poor stability at high charge/discharge depth. Herein, cyclability is improved by the design of a polyaniline-intercalated layered manganese dioxide, in which the polymerstrengthened layered structure and nanoscale size of manganese dioxide serves to eliminate phase changes and facilitate charge storage. Accordingly, an unprecedented stability of 200 cycles with at a high capacity of 280 mA h g(-1) (i.e., 90% utilization of the theoretical capacity of manganese dioxide) is achieved, as well as a long-term stability of 5000 cycles at a utilization of 40%. The encouraging performance sheds light on the design of advanced cathodes for aqueous zinc-ion batteries.","","","","","","","","","","","",1198,1253,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 25",2018,9,"","","","","","","",2906,"10.1038/s41467-018-04949-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-04949-4","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000439687600004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Micro-PL and Raman images clearly reveal that the PL enhancement occurs at cracks/defects formed during high-temperature annealing. The PL enhancement at crack/defect sites could be as high as thousands of times after considering the laser spot size. The main reasons of such huge PL enhancement include the following: (1) the oxygen chemical adsorption induced heavy p doping and the conversion from trion to exciton; (2) the suppression of nonradiative recombination of excitons at defect sites, which was verified by low-temperature PL measurements. First-principle calculations reveal a strong binding energy of similar to 2.395 eV for an oxygen molecule adsorbed on a S vacancy of MoS2. The chemically adsorbed oxygen also provides a much more effective charge transfer (0.997 electrons per O-2) compared to physically adsorbed oxygen on an ideal MoS2 surface. We also demonstrate that the defect engineering and oxygen bonding could be easily realized by mild oxygen plasma irradiation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further confirms the formation of Mo-O bonding. Our results provide a new route for modulating the optical properties of two-dimensional semiconductors. The strong and stable PL from defects sites of MoS2 may have promising applications in optoelectronic devices.","","","","","","","","","","","",1041,1132,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,8,6,"","","","",5738,5745,"","10.1021/nn500532f","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nn500532f","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000338089200037","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Remarkably enhanced PEC performance could be obtained by using rGO-BiFeO3 as the photoelectrode material due to its accelerated charge transfer and improved the visible light absorption. Additionally, efficient and simple operation could be achieved by introducing magnetic controlled flow-through device. The assay mainly involved in anchor DNA-conjugated magnetic bead (MB-aDNA), PSA aptamer/trigger DNA (Apt-tDNA) and two glucose oxidase-labeled hairpins (H1-GOx and H2-GOx). Upon addition of target PSA, the analyte initially reacted with the aptamer to release the trigger DNA, which partially hybridized with the anchor DNA on the MB. Thereafter, the unpaired trigger DNA on the MB opened the hairpin DNA structures in sequence and propagated a chain reaction of hybridization events between two alternating hairpins to form a long nicked double-helix with numerous GOx enzymes on it. Subsequently, the enzymatic product (H2O2) generated and consumed the photo excited electrons from rGO-BiFeO3 under visible light irradiation to enhance the photocurrent. Under optimal conditions, the magnetic controlled PEC sensing system exhibited good photocurrent responses toward target PSA within the linear range of 0.001 - 100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.31 pg/mL. Moreover, favorable selectivity, good stability and satisfactory accuracy were obtained. The excellent analytical performance suggested that the rGO-BiFeO3-based PEC sensing platform could be a promising tool for sensitive, efficient and low cost detection of PSA in disease diagnostics.","","","","","","","","","","","",270,273,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 15",2018,101,"","","","","",146,152,"","10.1016/j.bios.2017.10.027","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2017.10.027","","","","","","Biophysics; Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; Chemistry; Electrochemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000418982600020","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A substantial increase in strength up to gigapascal levels typically causes the premature failure of materials with reduced ductility. Here, we report a strategy to break this trade-off by controllably introducing high-density ductile multicomponent intermetallic nanoparticles (MCINPs) in complex alloy systems. Distinct from the intermetallic-induced embrittlement under conventional wisdom, such MCINP-strengthened alloys exhibit superior strengths of 1.5 gigapascals and ductility as high as 50% in tension at ambient temperature. The plastic instability, a major concern for high-strength materials, can be completely eliminated by generating a distinctive multistage work-hardening behavior, resulting from pronounced dislocation activities and deformation-induced microbands. This MCINP strategy offers a paradigm to develop next-generation materials for structural applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",1151,1205,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 23",2018,362,6417,"","","","",933,"+","","10.1126/science.aas8815","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aas8815","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000451124500039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Damage to the surface morphology (e.g., crushed areas and scratches) and the corresponding superhydrophobicity are shown to be rapidly healed through a simple heat treatment at 60 degrees C for 20 min. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) were used to study the anti-corrosion performance of the scratched and the healed superhydrophobic coatings immersed in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The results revealed that the anticorrosion performance of the scratched coatings was improved upon the incorporation of BTA. After the heat treatment, the scratched superhydrophobic coatings exhibited excellent recovery of their anti-corrosion performance, which is attributed to the closure of the scratch by the shape memory effect and to the improved inhibition efficiency of BTA. Furthermore, we found that the pre-existing corrosion product inside the coating scratch could hinder the scratch closure by the shape memory effect and reduce the coating adhesion in the scratched region. However, the addition of BTA effectively suppressed the formation of corrosion products and enhanced the self-healing and adhesion performance under these conditions. Importantly, we also demonstrated that these coatings can be autonomously healed within 1 h in an outdoor environment using sunlight as the heat source.","","","","","","","","","","","",433,468,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 7",2017,5,5,"","","","",2355,2364,"","10.1039/c6ta10903a","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c6ta10903a","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000395074300062","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To mitigate the above issues, tannic acid-chelated Fe-decorated molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2@TA/Fe NSs) with dual enzyme activities were developed and anchored to a multifunctional hydrogel. The hydrogel exhibited excellent antibacterial ability owing to the combined effects of photothermal therapy (PTT), glutathione (GSH) loss, and the peroxidase (POD)-like activity (catalyse H2O2 into center dot OH under acid condition) of MoS2@TA/Fe NSs. Benefitting from the catalase (CAT)-like activity, the hydrogel could decompose H2O2 into O-2 at neutral pH to relieve hypoxia and supply adequate O-2. POD-like activity was mainly attributed to MoS2 NSs, while CAT-like activity was primarily due to TA/Fe complex. Moreover, MoS2@TA/Fe NSs endowed the hydrogel with outstanding anti-oxidant ability to scavenge redundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) under neutral environment to maintain the balance of antioxidant systems and prevent inflammation. In addition, the hydrogel could inhibit the release of inflammatory factors for the anti-inflammatory property of TA. TA retained partial phenolic hydroxyl groups, which cross-linked the nanosheets to the network structure of the hydrogel and promoted the adhesion of hydrogels. Due to the dynamic boron ester bonds between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), dextran (Dex), MoS2@TA/Fe, and borax, the hydrogel demonstrated fast self-healing and rapid shape adaptability. This shape-adaptable adhesive hydrogel could fill the whole wound and closely contact the wound, ensuring that it achieved its functions with maximum efficiency. The MoS2@TA/Fe nanozyme-anchored multifunctional hydrogel showed high potential for bacteria-infected wound healing.","","","","","","","","","","","",248,250,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2022,9,"","","","","",461,474,"","10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.07.023","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.07.023","","","","","","Engineering; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000736275600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The controlled release of bioactive factors from a multifunctional hydrogel was a promising strategy to repair chronic wounds. Methods: Herein, for the first time, we developed an injectable, self-healing and antibacterial polypeptide-based FHE hydrogel (F127/OHA-EPL) with stimuli-responsive adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells exosomes (AMSCs-exo) release for synergistically enhancing chronic wound healing and complete skin regeneration. The materials characterization, antibacterial activity, stimulated cellular behavior and in vivo full-thickness diabetic wound healing ability of the hydrogels were performed and analyzed. Results: The FHE hydrogel possessed multifunctional properties including fast self-healing process, shear-thinning injectable ability, efficient antibacterial activity, and long term pH-responsive bioactive exosomes release behavior. In vitro, the FHE@exosomes (FHE@exo) hydrogel significantly promoted the proliferation, migration and tube formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In vivo, the FHE@exo hydrogel significantly enhanced the healing efficiency of diabetic full-thickness cutaneous wounds, characterized with enhanced wound closure rates, fast angiogenesis, re-epithelization and collagen deposition within the wound site. Moreover, the FHE@exo hydrogel displayed better healing outcomes than those of exosomes or FHE hydrogel alone, suggesting that the sustained release of exosomes and FHE hydrogel can synergistically facilitate diabetic wound healing. Skin appendages and less scar tissue also appeared in FHE@exo hydrogel treated wounds, indicating its potent ability to achieve complete skin regeneration.

The mesoporous NE is constructed by first coating a manganese-based MOFs with mesoporous silica, followed by a facile annealing process under the ambient atmosphere. After removing the mesoporous silica shell and post-modifying with polydopamine and poly(ethylene glycol) for improving the biocompatibility, the obtained mesoporous NE is loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), a commonly used photosensitizer in PDT, with a high loading capacity. Upon the O-2 generation through the catalytic reaction between the catalytic amount NE and the endogenous H2O2, the hypoxic tumor microenvironment is relieved. Thus, Ce6-loaded NE serves as a H2O2-activated oxygen supplier to increase the local O-2 concentration for significantly enhanced antitumor PDT efficacy in vitro and in vivo.

Collodial nanocrystals (NCs) of cesium lead halides (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br, I) exhibit bright photoluminescence, with emission tunable over the entire visible spectral region. However, previous studies on CsPbX3 NCs did not address key aspects of their chemistry and photophysics such as surface chemistry and quantitative light absorption. Here, we elaborate on the synthesis of CsPbBr3 NCs and their surface chemistry. In addition, the intrinsic absorption coefficient was determined experimentally by combining elemental analysis with accurate optical absorption measurements. H-1 solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to characterize sample purity, elucidate the surface chemistry, and evaluate the influence of purification methods on the surface composition. We find that ligand binding to the NC surface is highly dynamic, and therefore, ligands are easily lost during the isolation and purification procedures. However, when a small amount of both oleic acid and oleylamine is added, the NCs can be purified, maintaining optical, colloidal, and material integrity. In addition, we find that a high amine content in the ligand shell increases the quantum yield due to the improved binding of the carboxylic acid.","","","","","","","","","","","",1547,1636,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2016,10,2,"","","","",2071,2081,"","10.1021/acsnano.5b06295","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsnano.5b06295","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000370987400044","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Urea (CO(NH2)(2)) is conventionally synthesized through two consecutive industrial processes, N-2 + H-2 -> NH(3)followed by NH3 + CO2 -> urea. Both reactions operate under harsh conditions and consume more than 2% of the world's energy. Urea synthesis consumes approximately 80% of the NH(3)produced globally. Here we directly coupled N(2)and CO(2)in H2O to produce urea under ambient conditions. The process was carried out using an electrocatalyst consisting of PdCu alloy nanoparticles on TiO(2)nanosheets. This coupling reaction occurs through the formation of C-N bonds via the thermodynamically spontaneous reaction between *N=N* and CO. Products were identified and quantified using isotope labelling and the mechanism investigated using isotope-labelled operando synchrotron-radiation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

Here, a scalable wet-spinning technique is used to produce Ti3C2Tx MXene/polyurethane (PU) composite fibers that show both conductivity and high stretchability. The conductivity at a very low percolation threshold of approximate to 1 wt% is demonstrated, which is lower than the previously reported values for MXene-based polymer composites.

The cyclic strain sensing performance is further improved by producing fibers with MXene/PU sheath and pure PU core using a coaxial wet-spinning process. Using a commercial-scale knitting machine, MXene/PU fibers are knitted into a one-piece elbow sleeve, which can track various movements of the wearer's elbow.

It is found that the stabilization effect of entropy brings significant benefits for the storage capacity retention of high entropy oxides and greatly improves the cycling stability.

The highest T-c that has been achieved to date is in the copper oxide system(1): 133 kelvin at ambient pressure(2) and 164 kelvin at high pressures(3). As the nature of superconductivity in these materials is still not fully understood (they are not conventional superconductors), the prospects for achieving still higher transition temperatures by this route are not clear. In contrast, the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory of conventional superconductivity gives a guide for achieving high T-c with no theoretical upper bound-all that is needed is a favourable combination of high-frequency phonons, strong electron-phonon coupling, and a high density of states(4). These conditions can in principle be fulfilled for metallic hydrogen and covalent compounds dominated by hydrogen(5,6), as hydrogen atoms provide the necessary high-frequency phonon modes as well as the strong electron-phonon coupling. Numerous calculations support this idea and have predicted transition temperatures in the range 50-235 kelvin for many hydrides(7), but only a moderate T-c of 17 kelvin has been observed experimentally(8). Here we investigate sulfur hydride(9), where a T-c of 80 kelvin has been predicted(10). We find that this system transforms to a metal at a pressure of approximately 90 gigapascals. On cooling, we see signatures of superconductivity: a sharp drop of the resistivity to zero and a decrease of the transition temperature with magnetic field, with magnetic susceptibility measurements confirming a T-c of 203 kelvin. Moreover, a pronounced isotope shift of T-c in sulfur deuteride is suggestive of an electron-phonon mechanism of superconductivity that is consistent with the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer scenario. We argue that the phase responsible for high-T-c superconductivity in this system is likely to be H3S, formed from H2S by decomposition under pressure. These findings raise hope for the prospects for achieving room-temperature superconductivity in other hydrogen-based materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",1830,1999,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 3",2015,525,7567,"","","","",73,"+","","10.1038/nature14964","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature14964","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000360594100027","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Recent findings demonstrate that incorporation of trace Fe impurities from commonly used KOH electrolytes significantly improves oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity over NiOOH electrocatalysts. Because nearly all previous studies detailing structural differences between alpha-Ni(OH)(2)/gamma-NiOOH and beta-Ni(OH)(2)/beta-NiOOH were completed in unpurified electrolytes, it is unclear whether these structural changes are unique to the aging phase transition in the Ni-(oxy)hydroxide matrix or if they arise fully or in part from inadvertent Fe incorporation. Here, we report an investigation of the effects of Fe incorporation on structureactivity relationships in Ni-(oxy)hydroxide. Electrochemical, in situ Raman, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance measurements were employed to investigate Ni(OH)(2) thin films aged in Fe-free and unpurified (reagent-grade) 1 M KOH (<1 ppm Fe). We find that Ni films aged in unpurified electrolyte can incorporate >= 20% Fe after 5 weeks of aging, and the maximum catalyst activity is comparable to that reported for optimized Ni1-xFexOOH catalysts. Conversely, Fe-free Ni(OH)(2) films exhibit a substantially lower activity and higher Tafel slope for the OER. Films aged in Fe-free electrolyte are predominantly disordered beta-Ni(OH)(2)/beta-NiOOH if maintained below 0.7 V vs Hg/HgO in 1 M KOH and will overcharge to form a mixture of gamma- and beta-NiOOH above this potential. Fe-containing Ni(OH)(2) films evidence a lesser extent of beta-Ni(OH)(2) formation and instead exhibit NiOOH structural changes in accordance with the formation of a Ni-Fe-layered double hydroxide phase. Furthermore, turnover frequency calculations indicate that Fe is the active site within this phase, and above similar to 11% Fe content, a separate, Fe-rich phase forms. These findings are the first to demonstrate the in situ changes in the catalyst structure resulting from the incorporation of Fe electrolyte impurities within Ni-(oxy)hydroxide, providing direct evidence that a NiFe layered double (oxy)hydroxide (LDH) phase is critical for high OER activity.","","","","","","","","","","","",905,957,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 2",2015,119,13,"","","","",7243,7254,"","10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b00105","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.5b00105","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000352329500035","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In the present study, a low-cost carbonaceous material, pine needle biochar was prepared under the oxygen limited pyrolyzation process and applied to activate PMS for the catalytic degradation of potentially carcinogenic 1,4-dioxane. Based on the batch experiments, the pyrolysis temperature has a significant influence on the potency of biochar to activate PMS. Within the biochar/PMS system, the degradation efficiencies of 1,4-dioxane were increased from 4.1 to 84.2% when the biochar pyrolysis temperatures were increased from 300 degrees C to 800 degrees C. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) study and the quenching experiment verified that the dominant free radical within the system of biochar/PMS was center dot OH. The EPR combined X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman analysis implied that the defect of biochar contributed to the generation of SO4 center dot- and center dot OH and high pyrolysis temperatures would eliminate the excess of oxygen functional groups in biochar, which could modulate and transform sp(3) carbons, generating more defect structures, therefore, enhancing the activation potency of biochar towards PMS. Simultaneously, five major intermediates were identified and three possible degradation pathways were proposed in this study. In addition, 71.4% and 57.5% of 1,4-dioxane removal rates were achieved in 1,4-dioxane contaminated tap water and groundwater, indicating that biochar activating PMS is a promising technique for the remediation of 1,4-dioxane contaminated water.","","","","","","","","","","","",446,492,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 15",2019,370,"","","","","",614,624,"","10.1016/j.cej.2019.03.235","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.03.235","","","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000467387200057","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the growth of Li dendrites during electrochemical deposition, which leads to a low Coulombic efficiency and safety concerns, has long hindered the application of rechargeable Li-metal batteries. Here we show that a 3D current collector with a submicron skeleton and high electroactive surface area can significantly improve the electrochemical deposition behaviour of Li. Li anode is accommodated in the 3D structure without uncontrollable Li dendrites. With the growth of Li dendrites being effectively suppressed, the Li anode in the 3D current collector can run for 600 h without short circuit and exhibits low voltage hysteresis. The exceptional electrochemical performance of the Li-metal anode in the 3D current collector highlights the importance of rational design of current collectors and reveals a new avenue for developing Li anodes with a long lifespan.","","","","","","","","","","","",1180,1209,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2015,6,"","","","","","","",8058,"10.1038/ncomms9058","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9058","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000360352600005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, the Ni45 powders were deposited on steel substrate by traditional low speed laser cladding and high-speed laser cladding process, respectively. The cladding efficiency, surface forming, cross-sectional microstructure, microhardness, wear and corrosion resistance properties of the traditional and high-speed laser cladded Ni45 alloy coatings were compared. It can be seen that the thickness of the high-speed laser cladding coating was much thinner than that of the traditional laser cladding coating. Compared with traditional laser cladding, high-speed laser cladding could achieve a cladding speed of 76.86 m/min and a cladding efficiency of 156.79 cm(2)/min. The microstructure of the two kinds of coatings shows the same growth law, but the microstructure in high-speed laser cladding was smaller and denser, and the columnar crystal interval was narrower, only about 6 mu m. It is found that the cooling rate of the traditional laser cladding coating was smaller than that of the high-speed laser cladding, and as the cladding speed increased, the cooling rate became higher and higher. The cross-section microhardness of the traditional laser cladding coating was relatively uniform of 337 HV0.2, while the microhardness of high-speed laser cladding surface increased to about 543 HV0.2. In addition, the wear and corrosion resistance of high-speed laser cladded coatings were better than that of traditional laser cladded coatings. As the cladding speed increased, the wear and corrosion resistance of the cladded coatings became better.","","","","","","","","","","","",235,268,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 15",2021,405,"","","","","","","",126582,"10.1016/j.surfcoat.2020.126582","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.surfcoat.2020.126582","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000604583200055","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This process is challenging the dominance of conventional manufacturing processes for products with high complexity and low material waste(1). Titanium alloys made by additive manufacturing have been used in applications in various industries. However, the intrinsic high cooling rates and high thermal gradient of the fusion-based metal additive manufacturing process often leads to a very fine microstructure and a tendency towards almost exclusively columnar grains, particularly in titanium-based alloys(1). (Columnar grains in additively manufactured titanium components can result in anisotropic mechanical properties and are therefore undesirable(2).) Attemptsto optimize the processing parameters of additive manufacturing have shown that it is difficult to alter the conditions to promote equiaxed growth of titaniumgrains(3). In contrast with other common engineering alloys such as aluminium, there is no commercial grain refiner for titanium that is able to effectively refine the microstructure. To address this challenge, here we report on the development of titanium-copper alloys that have a high constitutional supercooling capacity as a result of partitioning of the alloying element during solidification, which can override the negative effect of a high thermal gradient in the laser-melted region during additive manufacturing. Without any special process control or additional treatment, our as-printed titanium-copper alloy specimens have a fully equiaxed fine-grained microstructure. They also display promising mechanical properties, such as high yield strength and uniform elongation, compared to conventional alloys under similar processing conditions, owing to the formation of an ultrafine eutectoid microstructure that appears as a result of exploiting the high cooling rates and multiple thermal cycles of the manufacturing process. We anticipate that this approach will be applicable to other eutectoid-forming alloy systems, and that it will have applications in the aerospace and biomedical industries.","","","","","","","","","","","",745,798,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 5",2019,576,7785,"","","","",91,"+","","10.1038/s41586-019-1783-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1783-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000501599200046","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The cloaked nanoparticles also display platelet-mimicking properties such as selective adhesion to damaged human and rodent vasculatures as well as enhanced binding to platelet-adhering pathogens. In an experimental rat model of coronary restenosis and a mouse model of systemic bacterial infection, docetaxel and vancomycin, respectively, show enhanced therapeutic efficacy when delivered by the platelet-mimetic nanoparticles.

All conservation efforts to save biodiversity essentially depend on the monitoring of species and populations to obtain reliable distribution patterns and population size estimates. Such monitoring has traditionally relied on physical identification of species by visual surveys and counting of individuals. However, traditional monitoring techniques remain problematic due to difficulties associated with correct identification of cryptic species or juvenile life stages, a continuous decline in taxonomic expertise, non-standardized sampling, and the invasive nature of some survey techniques. Hence, there is urgent need for alternative and efficient techniques for large-scale biodiversity monitoring. Environmental DNA (eDNA) - defined here as: genetic material obtained directly from environmental samples (soil, sediment, water, etc.) without any obvious signs of biological source material - is an efficient, non-invasive and easy-to-standardize sampling approach. Coupled with sensitive, cost-efficient and ever-advancing DNA sequencing technology, it may be an appropriate candidate for the challenge of biodiversity monitoring. Environmental DNA has been obtained from ancient as well as modern samples and encompasses single species detection to analyses of ecosystems. The research on eDNA initiated in microbiology, recognizing that culture-based methods grossly misrepresent the microbial diversity in nature. Subsequently, as a method to assess the diversity of macro-organismal communities, eDNA was first analyzed in sediments, revealing DNA from extinct and extant animals and plants, but has since been obtained from various terrestrial and aquatic environmental samples. Results from eDNA approaches have provided valuable insights to the study of ancient environments and proven useful for monitoring contemporary biodiversity in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In the future, we expect the eDNA-based approaches to move from single-marker analyses of species or communities to meta-genomic surveys of entire ecosystems to predict spatial and temporal biodiversity patterns. Such advances have applications for a range of biological, geological and environmental sciences. Here we review the achievements gained through analyses of eDNA from macro-organisms in a conservation context, and discuss its potential advantages and limitations for biodiversity monitoring.

Lenny","","","Sustainable supply chain management and the transition towards a circular economy: Evidence and some applications","OMEGA-INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCE","","","","Article","","","","","","","","In the last decades, green and sustainable supply chain management practices have been developed, trying to integrate environmental concerns into organisations by reducing unintended negative consequences on the environment of production and consumption processes. In parallel to this, the circular economy discourse has been propagated in the industrial ecology literature and practice. Circular economy pushes the frontiers of environmental sustainability by emphasising the idea of transforming products in such a way that there are workable relationships between ecological systems and economic growth. Therefore, circular economy is not just concerned with the reduction of the use of the environment as a sink for residuals but rather with the creation of self-sustaining production systems in which materials are used over and over again. Through two case studies from different process industries (chemical and food), this paper compares the performances of traditional and circular production systems across a range of indicators. Direct, indirect and total lifecycle emissions, waste recovered, virgin resources use, as well as carbon maps (which provide a holistic visibility of the entire supply chain) are presented. The paper asserts that an integration of circular economy principles within sustainable supply chain management can provide clear advantages from an environmental point view. Emerging supply chain management challenges and market dynamics are also highlighted and discussed. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

This equilibrium-limited reaction is favored at a low working temperature. Potential application in fuel cells also requires a WGS catalyst to be highly active, stable, and energy-efficient and to match the working temperature of on-site hydrogen generation and consumption units. We synthesized layered gold (Au) clusters on a molybdenum carbide (alpha-MoC) substrate to create an interfacial catalyst system for the ultralow-temperature WGS reaction.

However, the low activity and selectivity of the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in the photocatalytic process greatly restricts the H2O2 production efficiency. Here we show a robust antimony single-atom photocatalyst (Sb-SAPC, single Sb atoms dispersed on carbon nitride) for the synthesis of H2O2 in a simple water and oxygen mixture under visible light irradiation. An apparent quantum yield of 17.6% at 420 nm together with a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.61% for H2O2 synthesis was achieved. On the basis of time-dependent density function theory calculations, isotopic experiments and advanced spectroscopic characterizations, the photocatalytic performance is ascribed to the notably promoted two-electron ORR by forming mu-peroxide at the Sb sites and highly concentrated holes at the neighbouring N atoms. The in situ generated O-2 via water oxidation is rapidly consumed by ORR, leading to boosted overall reaction kinetics. Hydrogen peroxide is an interesting target for artificial photosynthesis, although its actual production via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction remains limited. Now, a carbon nitride-supported antimony single atom photocatalyst has been developed with a superior performance for this process.","","","","","","","","","","","",545,557,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2021,4,5,"","","","",374,384,"","10.1038/s41929-021-00605-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41929-021-00605-1","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000653054400008","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we combine electrochemical measurements, operando X-ray scattering and absorption spectroscopy, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the catalytically active phase, reaction center and the OER mechanism. We provide the first direct atomic-scale evidence that, under applied anodic potentials, MFe LDHs oxidize from as-prepared alpha -phases to activated gamma -phases. The OER-active gamma -phases are characterized by about 8% contraction of the lattice spacing and switching of the intercalated ions. DFT calculations reveal that the OER proceeds via a Mars van Krevelen mechanism. The flexible electronic structure of the surface Fe sites, and their synergy with nearest-neighbor M sites through formation of O-bridged Fe-M reaction centers, stabilize OER intermediates that are unfavorable on pure M-M centers and single Fe sites, fundamentally accounting for the high catalytic activity of MFe LDHs. NiFe and CoFe layered double hydroxides are among the most active electrocatalysts for the alkaline oxygen evolution reaction. Here, by combining operando experiments and rigorous DFT calculations, the authors unravel their active phase, the reaction center and the catalytic mechanism.","","","","","","","","","","","",757,776,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 20",2020,11,1,"","","","","","",2522,"10.1038/s41467-020-16237-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-16237-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000537059500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, we synthesized a polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanofibril (PVA/CNF) hydrogel with dual-crosslinked networks for highly transparent, stretchable, and self-healing pressure and strain sensors. The hydrogel contains dynamic borate bonds, metal-carboxylate coordination bonds, and hydrogen bonds, all of which contribute to the hydrogel's superior dimensional stability, mechanical strength and flexibility, and spontaneous self-healing ability as compared to traditional PVA hydrogels. The developed hydrogel has a moderate modulus of 11.2 kPa, and a high elongation rate of 1900%. It spontaneously self-heals within 15 s upon contact without any external stimuli, has a high transmittance of over 90%, and has excellent compatibility with human fibroblasts. The capacitive sensor developed based on the PVA/CNF hydrogel has high sensitivity to very subtle pressure changes, such as small water droplets. When used as a strain sensor, it was capable of detecting and monitoring various human motions such as finger, knee, elbow, and head movements, breathing, and gentle tapping.

By using state-of-the-art density functional calculations, herein we demonstrate that 2D MXenes, like Ti2C, V2C, and Ti3C2, are terminated by a mixture of oxygen atoms and hydroxyl, while Nb2C and Nb4C3O2 are fully terminated by oxygen atoms under standard conditions [pH 0, p(H-2) = 1 bar, U = 0 V vs standard hydrogen electrode], findings in good agreement with experimental observation. Furthermore, all these MXenes are conductive under standard conditions, thus allowing high charge transfer kinetics during the HER. Remarkably, the Gibbs free energy for the adsorption of atomic hydrogen (Delta G(H)(0)*) on the terminated O atoms (e.g., Ti2CO2) is close to the ideal value (0 eV). Our results demonstrate terminated oxygens as catalytic active sites for the HER at these materials and highlight a family of promising two-dimensional catalysts for water splitting.","","","","","","","","","","","",914,952,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2017,7,1,"","","","",494,500,"","10.1021/acscatal.6b02754","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.6b02754","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000391783200058","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A detailed time-dependent study of hollow sphere formation reveals that an inside-out Ostwald ripening process is responsible for the hollow sphere formation. The synthesized covalent organic framework hollow spheres are highly porous (surface area similar to 1,500m(2) g(-1)), crystalline and chemically stable, due to the presence of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

This work aims to improve the electrochemical stability of silver-based transparent conductors. A silver grid/PEDOT:PSS hybrid film with high conductivity and excellent stability is successfully fabricated. Its functionality for flexible electrochromic applications is demonstrated by coating one layer of WO3 nanoparticles on the silver grid/PEDOT:PSS hybrid film. This hybrid structure presents a large optical modulation of 81.9% at 633 nm, fast switching, and high coloration efficiency (124.5 cm(2) C-1). More importantly, an excellent electrochemical cycling stability (sustaining 79.1% of their initial transmittance modulation after 1000 cycles) and remarkable mechanical flexibility (optical modulation decay of only 7.5% after 1200 compressive bending cycles) is achieved. A novel smart supercapacitor is presented that functions as a regular energy-storage device and simultaneously monitors the level of stored energy by a rapid and reversible color variation even at high current charge/discharge conditions. The film sustains an optical modulation of 87.7% and a specific capacitance of 67.2% at 10 A g(-1) compared to their initial value at a current density of 1 A g(-1).

Reduced screening in two dimensions results in markedly enhanced electron-electron interactions, which have been predicted to generate giant bandgap renormalization and excitonic effects(10-13). Here we present a rigorous experimental observation of extraordinarily large exciton binding energy in a 2D semiconducting TMD. We determine the single-particle electronic bandgap of single-layer MoSe2 by means of scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS), as well as the two-particle exciton transition energy using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. These yield an exciton binding energy of 0.55 eV for monolayer MoSe2 on graphene-orders of magnitude larger than what is seen in conventional 3D semiconductors and significantly higher than what we see for MoSe2 monolayers in more highly screening environments. This finding is corroborated by our ab initio GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation calculations(14,15) which include electron correlation effects.

It is essential to experimentally confirm the material properties of such predictions. However, materials screening rates are limited by the long processing times and the poor compositional control from volatile element loss in conventional ceramic sintering techniques. To overcome these limitations, we developed an ultrafast high-temperature sintering (UHS) process for the fabrication of ceramic materials by radiative heating under an inert atmosphere.

Even though anthraquinone autoxidation (AO) process has been the major artificial way to produce H2O2, its energy cost and non-green nature have been motivating people to develop more efficient, economic and green technologies as alternatives. Here we demonstrated that photocatalytic H2O2 production at g-C3N4 could be improved by as much as 14 times in the absence of organic scavenger through a carbon vacancy-based strategy. Both the experimental and theoretical calculation results indicated that the creation of carbon vacancies could reduce the symmetry of g-C3N4 and produce the effect of electron delocalization. This will allow g-C3N4 to possess more excitable electrons and a narrower band gap. On the other hand, carbon vacancies provided more sites to adsorb molecular oxygen and thereby help electrons transfer from g-C3N4 to the surface adsorbed O-2. More interestingly, the presence of carbon vacancies changed the H2O2 generation pathway from a two-step single-electron indirect reduction to an one-step two-electron direct reduction. This study could not only develop a novel strategy to improve the H2O2 production activity of semiconductors, but also shed light on the deep understanding of the role played by surface defect structure on photocatalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts.

We have found that use of GO and CNT substrates (i) diminish the aggregation and increases dispersive forces within the MOFs, (ii) lead to MOFs with different morphology and size, and (iii) result in formation of small pores between the MOF and the platforms. Adsorption capacity of the prepared nanomaterials was examined over methylene blue (MB) as a model organic pollutant. The developed hybrid nanomaterials show enhanced pollutant adsorption capacity compared to that of the parent materials. The improved adsorption capacity is attributed to the synergetic effect of covalent bonding between the parent materials as well as to the unique. features of the nanoscale MOF.

In addition to a unique fabrication technique, our work also reveals the large potential of phosphorene in ultrafast photonics.","","","","","","","","","","","",915,970,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 2",2015,25,45,"","","","",6996,7002,"","10.1002/adfm.201502902","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201502902","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000366502900004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Most DFT calculations of the OER use an acidic reaction mechanism and the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE) as reference electrode. However, experimental studies are usually carried out under alkaline conditions using the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) as reference electrode. The difference between the conditions in experiment and calculations is then usually taken into account by applying a pH-dependent correction factor to the latter. As, however, the OER reaction mechanisms under acidic and under alkaline conditions are quite different, it is not clear a priori whether a simple correction factor can account for this difference. We derive in this paper step by step the theory to simulate the OER based on the alkaline reaction mechanism and explain the OER process with this mechanism and the RHE as reference electrode. We compare the mechanisms for alkaline and acidic OER catalysis and highlight the roles of the RHE and the SHE. Our detailed analysis validates current OER simulations in the literature and explains the differences in OER calculations with acidic and alkaline mechanisms.","","","","","","","","","","","",310,317,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2021,3,2,"","","","","","",26001,"10.1088/2515-7655/abdc85","http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/2515-7655/abdc85","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000629535000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Thus, there is an urgent need to identify the intrinsic stability window of the solid electrolyte. The thermodynamic electrochemical stability window of solid electrolytes is calculated using first principles computation methods, and an experimental method is developed to measure the intrinsic electrochemical stability window of solid electrolytes using a Li/electrolyte/electrolyte-carbon cell.

["J","Rhodes, CJ","","","","Rhodes, Christopher J.","","","Plastic pollution and potential solutions","SCIENCE PROGRESS","","","","Article","","","","","","","","A review is presented of the manufacture and use of different types of plastic, and the effects of pollution by these materials on animal, human and environmental health, insofar as this is known. Since 2004, the world has made as much plastic as it did in the previous half century, and it has been reckoned that the total mass of virgin plastics ever made amounts to 8.3 billion tonnes, mainly derived from natural gas and crude oil, used as chemical feedstocks and fuel sources. Between 1950 and 2015, a total of 6.3 billion tonnes of primary and secondary (recycled) plastic waste was generated, of which around 9% has been recycled, and 12% incinerated, with the remaining 79% either being stored in landfills or having been released directly into the natural environment. In 2015, 407 million tonnes (Mt) of plastic was produced, of which 164 Mt was consumed by packaging (36% of total). Although quoted values vary, packaging probably accounts for around one third of all plastics used, of which approximately 40% goes to landfill, while 32% escapes the collection system. It has been deduced that around 9 Mt ofplastic entered the oceans in 2010, as a result of mismanaged waste, along with up to 0.5 Mt each of microplastics from washing synthetic textiles, and from the abrasion of tyres on road surfaces. However, the amount of plastics actually measured in the oceans represents less than 1% of the (at least) 150 Mt reckoned to have been released into the oceans over time. Plastic accounts for around 10% by mass of municipal waste, but up to 85% of marine debris items - most of which arrive from land-based sources. Geographically, the five heaviest plastic polluters are P.R. China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, which between them contribute 56% of global plastic waste. Larger, primary plastic items can undergo progressive fragmentation to yield a greater number of increasingly smaller 'secondary' microplastic particles, thus increasing the overall surface area of the plastic material, which enhances its ability to absorb, and concentrate, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), with the potential to transfer them to the tissues of animals that ingest the microplastic particles, particularly in marine environments. Although fears that such microparticles and their toxins may be passed via Pod webs to humans are not as yet substantiated, the direct ingestion of inicroplastics by humans via drinking water is a distinct possibility - since 92% of samples taken in the USA and 72% in Europe showed their presence - although any consequent health effects are as yet unclear. Foodstuffs may also become contaminated by microplastics from the air, although any consequent health effects are also unknown. In regard to such airborne sources, it is noteworthy that small plastic particles have been found in human lung tissue, which might prove an adverse health issue under given circumstances. It is also very striking that microplastics have been detected in mountain soils in Switzerland, which are most likely windborne in origin. Arctic ice core samples too have revealed the presence of microplastics, which were most likely carried on ocean currents from the Pacific garbage patch, and from local pollution from shipping and fishing. Thus, sea ice traps large amounts of microplastics and transports them across the Arctic Ocean, but these particles will be released into the global environment when the ice melts, particularly under the influence of a rising mean global temperature. While there is a growing emphasis toward the substitution of petrochemically derived plastics by bioplastics, controversy has arisen in regard to how biodegradable the latter actually are in the open environment, and they presently only account for 0.5% of the total mass of plastics manufactured globally. Since the majority of bioplastics are made from sugar and starch materials, to expand their use significantly raises the prospect of competition between growing crops to supply food or plastics, similarly to the diversion of food crops for the manufacture of primary biofuels. The use of oxo-plastics, which contain additives that assist the material to degrade, is also a matter of concern, since it is claimed that they merely fragment and add to the environmental burden of microplastics; hence, the European Union has moved to restrict their use. Since 6% of the current global oil (including natural gas liquids, NGLs) production is used to manufacture plastic commodities predicted to rise to 20% by 2050 the current approaches for the manufacture and use of plastics (including their end-use) demand immediate revision. More extensive collection and recycling of plastic items at the end of their life, for re-use in new production, to offset the use of virgin plastic, is a critical aspect both for reducing the amount of plastic waste entering the environment, and in improving the efficiency of fossil resource use. This is central to the ideology underpinning the circular economy, which has common elements with permacultum, the latter being a regenerative design system based on 'nature as teacher' which could help optimise the use of resources in town and city environments, while minimising and reputposing 'waste'. Thus food might be produced more on the local than the global scale, with smaller inputs of filels (including transportation fuels for importing and distributing food), water and fertilisers, and with a marked reduction in the use of plastic packaging. Such an approach, adopted by billions of individuals, could prove of immense significance in ensuring future food security, and in reducing waste and pollution - of all kinds.","","","","","","","","","","","",344,380,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2018,101,3,"","","","",207,260,"","10.3184/003685018X15294876706211","http://dx.doi.org/10.3184/003685018X15294876706211","","","","","","Education & Educational Research; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000444073500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Antibacterial mechanism investigation by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay indicated the damage to the cell membrane, which resulted in release of cytoplasmic materials from the bacterial cells.

A significant increase in activity in electrochemical CO2 reduction (used as a representative reaction) was demonstrated on a Ni single-atom catalyst with increased Ni loading.","","","","","","","","","","","",460,471,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2021,13,9,"","","","",887,"+","","10.1038/s41557-021-00734-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41557-021-00734-x","","JUN 2021","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000665817700002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Nevertheless, issues such as uncontrollable growth of Li dendrites, large volume changes, high chemical reactivity, and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) hinder its rapid development and practical application. Herein a stable and dendrite-free Li-metal anode is obtained by designing a flexible and freestanding MXene/COF framework for metallic Li. COF-LZU1 microspheres are distributed among the MXene film framework. Lithiophilic COF-LZU1 microspheres as nucleation seeds can promote uniform Li nucleation by homogenizing the Li+ flux and lowering the nucleation barrier, finally resulting in dense and dendrite-free U deposition. Under the regulation of the COF-LZU1 seeds, the Coulombic efficiency of the MXene/COF-LZU1 framework and electrochemical stability of corresponding symmetric cells are obviously enhanced. Li-S full cells with the modified Li-metal anode and sulfurizecl polyacrylonitrile (S@PAN) cathode also exhibited a superior electrochemical performance.","","","","","","","","","","","",129,131,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2021,14,10,"","","SI","",3576,3584,"","10.1007/s12274-021-3433-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12274-021-3433-9","","APR 2021","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000637476400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Although several interesting mechanisms have been proposed, a general mechanism explaining the observed electrochemical processes is still missing, which is essentially originating from the remaining uncertainty on the complex hard carbons structure. The achievement of an in-depth understanding of the processes occurring upon sodiation, however, is of great importance for a rational design of optimized anode materials. In this review, we aim at providing a comprehensive overview of the up-to-date known structural models of hard carbons and their correlation with the proposed models for the sodium-ion storage mechanisms. In this regard, a particular focus is set on the most powerful analytical tools to study the structure of hard carbons (upon de-/sodiation) and a critical discussion on how to interpret and perform such analysis. Targeting the eventual commercialization of hard carbon anodes for sodiumion batteries - after having established a fundamental understanding - we close this review with a careful evaluation of potential strategies to ensure a high degree of sustainability, since this is undoubtedly a crucial parameter to take into account for the future large-scale production of hard carbons.","","","","","","","","","","","",681,715,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2019,23,"","","","","",87,104,"","10.1016/j.mattod.2018.12.040","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mattod.2018.12.040","","","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000461359100020","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Nanogenerators were first developed for self-powered systems based on piezoelectric effect and triboelectrification effect for converting tiny mechanical energy into electricity, which have applications in internet of things, environmental/infrastructural monitoring, medical science and security. In this paper, we present the fundamental theory of the nanogenerators starting from the Maxwell equations. In the Maxwell's displacement current, the first term epsilon(0) partial derivative E/partial derivative t gives the birth of electromagnetic wave, which is the foundation of wireless communication, radar and later the information technology. Our study indicates that the second term partial derivative P/partial derivative t in the Maxwell's displacement current is directly related to the output electric current of the nanogenerator, meaning that our nanogenerators are the applications of Maxwell's displacement current in energy and sensors. By contrast, electromagnetic generators are built based on Lorentz force driven flow of free electrons in a conductor. This study presents the similarity and differences between pieozoelectric nanogenerator and triboelectric nanogenerator, as well as the classical electromagnetic generator, so that the impact and uniqueness of the nanogenerators can be clearly understood. We also present the three major applications of nanogenerators as micro/nano-power source, self-powered sensors and blue energy.","","","","","","","","","","","",1592,1610,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2017,20,2,"","","","",74,82,"","10.1016/j.mattod.2016.12.001","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mattod.2016.12.001","","","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000398895800016","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

As expected, a strong reflection loss of -85.8 dB and an ultrathin thickness of 1.4 mm were achieved. Meanwhile, the high EMI shielding efficiency reached 110.1 dB. The excellent electromagnetic wave absorption and shielding performances were originated from the charge carriers, electric/magnetic dipole polarization, interfacial polarization, natural resonance, and multiple internal reflections. Moreover, a thin layer of polydimethylsiloxane rendered the hydrophilic hierarchical Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co hydrophobic, which can prevent the degradation/oxidation of the MXene in high humidity condition. Interestingly, the Ti3C2Tx/CNTs/Co film exhibited a remarkable photothermal conversion performance with high thermal cycle stability and tenability.

The porous 3D structure and the hydrophilic feature of 1T-MoS2 are beneficial for electrolyte penetration and Li-ion transfer, and the high conductivities of both graphene and the 1T MoS2 nanosheets facilitate electron transfer.

However, uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth limits the cycle life by piercing the separator, resulting in low zinc utilization in both alkaline and mild/neutral electrolytes. Herein, a polyacrylonitrile coating layer on a zinc anode produced by a simple drop coating approach to address the dendrite issue is reported. The coating layer not only improves the hydrophilicity of the zinc anode but also regulates zinc-ion transport, consequently facilitating the uniform deposition of zinc ions to avoid dendrite formation. A symmetrical cell with the polymer-coating-layer-modified Zn anode displays dendrite-free plating/stripping with a long cycle lifespan (>1100 h), much better than that of the bare Zn anode. The modified zinc anode coupled with a Mn-doped V2O5 cathode forms a stable rechargeable full battery.

Herein a new strongly coupled nickel-cobalt nitrides/carbon complex nanocage (NiCoNzocage) is rationally designed via chemical etching of ZIF-67 nanocubes with Ni(NO3)(2) under sonication at room temperature, following nitridation. The as-prepared strongly coupled NiCoN/C nanocages exhibit a mass activity of 0.204 mA mu g(-1) at an overpotential of 200 mV for the HER in alkaline solution, which is comparable to that of commercial Pt/C (0.451 mA mu g(-1)). The strongly coupled NiCoN/C nanocages also possess superior stability for the HER with negligible current loss under the overpotentials of 200 mV for 10 h. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the excellent HER performance under alkaline condition arises from the robust Co2+-> Co-0 transformation achieved by strong (Ni, Co)-N-bonding-induced efficient d-p-d coupled electron transfer, which is a key for optimal initial water adsorption and splitting. The high degree of amorphization urges the C-sites to be an electron-pushing bath to promote the inter-layer/sites electron-transfer with loss of the orbital-selection-forbidden-rule, which uniformly boosts the surface catalytic activities up to a high level independent of the individual surface active sites.","","","","","","","","","","","",296,298,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2019,31,2,"","","","","","",1805541,"10.1002/adma.201805541","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201805541","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000455111100019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The heterostructure was obtained via a first hydrothermal approach to obtain hollow Co3S4 nanoboxes based on the ionic exchange reaction between Fe(CN)(6)(3-) of Co-Fe Prussian blue analogue (PBA) and S2- at 120 degrees C, and the subsequent in situ growth of MoS2 nanosheets on the surface of Co3S4 nanoboxes at an elevated temperature of 200 degrees C. The synergistic effects between the active and stable HER catalyst of MoS2 and the efficient OER catalyst of Co3S4, as well as the morphological superiority of hollow and core-shell structures, endow Co3S4@MoS2 with remarkable electrocatalytic performance and robust durability toward overall water splitting.

Here we report the rational design of hindered urea bonds (urea with bulky substituent attached to its nitrogen) and the use of them to make polyureas and poly(urethane-urea)s capable of catalyst-free dynamic property change and autonomous repairing at low temperature. Given the simplicity of the hindered urea bond chemistry (reaction of a bulky amine with an isocyanate), incorporation of the catalyst-free dynamic covalent urea bonds to conventional polyurea or urea-containing polymers that typically have stable bulk properties may further broaden the scope of applications of these widely used materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",781,864,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2014,5,"","","","","","","",3218,"10.1038/ncomms4218","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4218","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000332664000003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The former contributes to the formation of the soft domain of the SPMs, and the latter furnishes the SPMs with desirable mechanical properties, thereby producing soft, stretchable, yet tough elastomers. The resulting SPM-2 was observed to be highly stretchable (up to 17 000% strain), tough (fracture energy similar to 30000 J/m(2)), and self-healing, which are highly desirable properties and are superior to previously reported elastomers and tough hydrogels. Furthermore, a gold, thin film electrode deposited on this SPM substrate retains its conductivity and combines high stretchability (similar to 400%), fracture/notch insensitivity, self-healing, and good interfacial adhesion with the gold film. Again, these properties are all highly complementary to commonly used polydimethylsiloxane-based thin film metal electrodes. Last, we proceed to demonstrate the practical utility of our fabricated electrode via both in vivo and in vitro measurements of electromyography signals. This fundamental understanding obtained from the investigation of these SPMs will facilitate the progress of intelligent soft materials and flexible electronics.","","","","","","","","","","","",522,542,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 18",2018,140,15,"","","","",5280,5289,"","10.1021/jacs.8b01682","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.8b01682","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000430642000052","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

X-ray diffraction, a Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) apparatus, and UV-vis spectra were used to analyze the physical properties of the prepared samples. Electrodes of these samples were prepared by using the electrophoresis method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses confirmed the incorporation of boron atoms in the g-C3N4 framework as well as the amount of boron atoms. Au, Ag or Rh as a co-catalyst was coated on the surface of g-C3N4 and B-doped g-C3N4 by using the magnetron sputtering method. The photocurrent response was observed using a solar simulator as a light source. The photocurrent response of B-doped g-C3N4 was about 5-times larger than that of pure g-C3N4. B-doped g-C3N4 coated with Rh as a co-catalyst showed the highest photocurrent response under solar light irradiation, its photocurrent being about 10-times larger than that of original g-C3N4. Under photoelectrochemical conditions, we also observed the products in gas phase and aqueous phase. C2H5OH was observed as a main product, while small amounts of CO and H-2 were observed in gas phase. We also discuss the relationship between co-catalysts and photocurrent responses and the carbon source of C2H5OH as a main product.

We report a processing strategy that uses cell wall engineering to shape flat sheets of hardwood into versatile three-dimensional (3D) structures. After breaking down wood's lignin component and closing the vessels and fibers by evaporating water, we partially re-swell the wood in a rapid water-shock process that selectively opens the vessels. This forms a distinct wrinkled cell wall structure that allows the material to be folded and molded into desired shapes. The resulting 3D-molded wood is six times stronger than the starting wood and comparable to widely used lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys. This approach widens wood's potential as a structural material, with lower environmental impact for buildings and transportation applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",213,231,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 22",2021,374,6566,"","","","",465,471,"","10.1126/science.abg9556","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.abg9556","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000710251800044","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we present working inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite solar cells for the first time. CsPbI3 normally resides in a yellow non-perovskite phase at room temperature, but by careful processing control and development of a low-temperature phase transition route we have stabilised the material in the black perovskite phase at room temperature. As such, we have fabricated solar cell devices in a variety of architectures, with current-voltage curve measured efficiency up to 2.9% for a planar heterojunction architecture, and stabilised power conversion efficiency of 1.7%. The well-functioning planar junction devices demonstrate long-range electron and hole transport in this material. Importantly, this work identifies that the organic cation is not essential, but simply a convenience for forming lead triiodide perovskites with good photovoltaic properties. We additionally observe significant rate-dependent current-voltage hysteresis in CsPbI3 devices, despite the absence of the organic polar molecule previously thought to be a candidate for inducing hysteresis via ferroelectric polarisation. Due to its space group, CsPbI3 cannot be a ferroelectric material, and thus we can conclude that ferroelectricity is not required to explain current-voltage hysteresis in perovskite solar cells. Our report of working inorganic perovskite solar cells paves the way for further developments likely to lead to much more thermally stable perovskite solar cells and other optoelectronic devices.","","","","","","","","","","","",1534,1626,"","","","","","","","","","","",2015,3,39,"","","","",19688,19695,"","10.1039/c5ta06398a","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c5ta06398a","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000362041300009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, waste materials often contain large amounts of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) that can reduce the efficacy of antibiotic treatments when transmitted to humans. Because conventional composting often fails to remove these compounds, we evaluated if hyperthermophilic composting with elevated temperature is more efficient at removing ARGs and MGEs and explored the underlying mechanisms of ARG removal of the two composting methods. We found that hyperthermophilic composting removed ARGs and MGEs more efficiently than conventional composting (89% and 49%, respectively). Furthermore, the half-lives of ARGs and MGEs were lower in hyperthermophilic compositing compared to conventional composting (67% and 58%, respectively). More-efficient removal of ARGs and MGEs was associated with a higher reduction in bacterial abundance and diversity of potential ARG hosts. Partial least-squares path modeling suggested that reduction of MGEs played a key role in ARG removal in hyperthermophilic composting, while ARG reduction was mainly driven by changes in bacterial community composition under conventional composting. Together these results suggest that hyperthermophilic composting can significantly enhance the removal of ARGs and MGEs and that the mechanisms of ARG and MGE removal can depend on composting temperature.","","","","","","","","","","","",356,405,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 2",2018,52,1,"","","","",266,276,"","10.1021/acs.est.7b04483","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.7b04483","","","","","","Engineering; Environmental Sciences & Ecology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000419419500030","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we report the synthesis of MoS2 monolayer sheets decorated with isolated Co atoms that bond covalently to sulfur vacancies on the basal planes that, when compared with conventionally prepared samples, exhibit superior activity, selectivity and stability for the hydrodeoxygenation of 4-methylphenol to toluene. This higher activity allows the reaction temperature to be reduced from the typically used 300 degrees C to 180 degrees C and thus allows the catalysis to proceed without sulfur loss and deactivation. Experimental analysis and density functional theory calculations reveal a large number of sites at the interface between the Co and Mo atoms on the MoS2 basal surface and we ascribe the higher activity to the presence of sulfur vacancies that are created local to the observed Co-S-Mo interfacial sites.","","","","","","","","","","","",746,788,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2017,9,8,"","","","",810,816,"","10.1038/NCHEM.2740","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NCHEM.2740","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000406206400016","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Finally, we reach some conclusions on the drawbacks, major progress, emerging challenges, and some perspectives on the development of GICs for metal (Li, Na, K, Al) ion batteries. Further development of GICs for metal (Li, Na, K, Al) ion batteries is not only a strong supplement to the commercialized success of lithiated-graphite for LIBs, but also an effective strategy to develop diverse high-energy batteries for stationary energy storage in the future.","","","","","","","","","","","",458,478,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2017,4,10,"","","","","","",1700146,"10.1002/advs.201700146","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.201700146","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000413166700007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, solar cells based on solution-processed organic, inorganic and hybrid materials reported thus far generally suffer from poor air stability, require an inert-atmosphere processing environment or necessitate high-temperature processing(1), all of which increase manufacturing complexities and costs. Simultaneously fulfilling the goals of high efficiency, low-temperature fabrication conditions and good atmospheric stability remains a major technical challenge, which may be addressed, as we demonstrate here, with the development of room-temperature solution-processed ZnO/PbS quantum dot solar cells. By engineering the band alignment of the quantum dot layers through the use of different ligand treatments, a certified efficiency of 8.55% has been reached. Furthermore, the performance of unencapsulated devices remains unchanged for over 150 days of storage in air. This material system introduces a new approach towards the goal of high-performance air-stable solar cells compatible with simple solution processes and deposition on flexible substrates.","","","","","","","","","","","",1220,1238,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2014,13,8,"","","","",796,801,"","10.1038/NMAT3984","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NMAT3984","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000339647800019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Reasons for its popularity are that it provides a wide variety of particle interaction models for different materials, that it runs on any platform from a single CPU core to the largest supercomputers with accelerators, and that it gives users control over simulation details, either via the input script or by adding code for new interatomic potentials, constraints, diagnostics, or other features needed for their models. As a result, hundreds of people have contributed new capabilities to LAMMPS and it has grown from fifty thousand lines of code in 2004 to a million lines today. In this paper several of the fundamental algorithms used in LAMMPS are described along with the design strategies which have made it flexible for both users and developers. We also highlight some capabilities recently added to the code which were enabled by this flexibility, including dynamic load balancing, on-the-fly visualization, magnetic spin dynamics models, and quantum-accuracy machine learning interatomic potentials.

Within this common problem definition, there lies a great diversity of use cases, distinguished by different particle interaction models, external constraints, as well as timescales and lengthscales ranging from atomic to mesoscale to macroscopic. Solution method: The LAMMPS code uses parallel spatial decomposition, distributed neighbor lists, and parallel FFTs for long-range Coulombic interactions [1]. The time integration algorithm is based on the Stormer-Verlet symplectic integrator [2], which provides better stability than higher-order non-symplectic methods. In addition, LAMMPS supports a wide range of interatomic potentials, constraints, diagnostics, software interfaces, and pre- and post-processing features. Additional comments including restrictions and unusual features: This paper serves as the definitive reference for the LAMMPS code. References [1] S.

A series of graphenes doped with nonmetal elements was designed and synthesized, and their ORR performance was evaluated in terms of four electrochemical descriptors: exchange current density, on-set potential, reaction pathway selectivity and kinetic current density. It is shown that these descriptors are in good agreement with DFT calculations, allowing derivation of a volcano plot between the ORR activity and the adsorption free energy of intermediates on metal-free materials, similarly as in the case of metallic catalysts. The molecular orbital concept was used to justify this volcano plot, and to theoretically predict the ORR performance of an ideal graphene-based catalyst, the ORR activity of which is comparable to the state-of-the-art Pt catalyst. Moreover, this study may stimulate the development of metal-free electrocatalysts for other key energy conversion processes including hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions and largely expand the spectrum of catalysts for energy-related electrocatalysis reactions.","","","","","","","","","","","",966,1012,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 19",2014,136,11,"","","","",4394,4403,"","10.1021/ja500432h","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja500432h","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000333435500042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, by rational design and synthesis of dual-metal atomically dispersed Fe,Mn/N-C catalyst as model object, we unravel that the O-2 reduction preferentially takes place on Fe-III in the FeN4/C system with intermediate spin state which possesses one e(g) electron (t(2g)4e(g)1) readily penetrating the antibonding pi-orbital of oxygen. Both magnetic measurements and theoretical calculation reveal that the adjacent atomically dispersed Mn-N moieties can effectively activate the Fe-III sites by both spin-state transition and electronic modulation, rendering the excellent ORR performances of Fe, Mn/N-C in both alkaline and acidic media (halfwave positionals are 0.928 V in 0.1 M KOH, and 0.804 V in 0.1 M HClO4), and good durability, which outperforms and has almost the same activity of commercial Pt/C, respectively. In addition, it presents a superior power density of 160.8 mW cm(-2) and long-term durability in reversible zinc-air batteries.

This approach causes the random-deposited SiO2 nanofibers to assemble into elastic ceramic aerogels with tunable densities and desired shapes on a large scale. The resulting CNFAs exhibit the integrated properties of flyweight densities of >0.15mg cm(-3), rapid recovery from 80% strain, zero Poisson's ratio, and temperature-invariant superelasticity to 1100 degrees C. The integral ceramic nature also provided the CNFAs with robust fire resistance and thermal insulation performance. The successful synthesis of these fascinating materials may provide new insights into the development of ceramics in a lightweight, resilient, and structurally adaptive form.","","","","","","","","","","","",505,521,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2018,4,4,"","","","","","","eaas8925","10.1126/sciadv.aas8925","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aas8925","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000431374900070","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, a mussel-inspired tannic acid chelated-Ag (TA-Ag) nanozyme with peroxidase (POD)-like activity was designed by the in situ reduction of ultrasmall Ag nanoparticles (NPs) with TA. The ultrasmall TA-Ag nanozyme exhibited high catalytic activity to induce hydrogel self-setting without external aid. The nanozyme retained abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups and maintained the dynamic redox balance of phenol-quinone, providing the hydrogels with long-term and repeatable adhesiveness, similar to the adhesion of mussels. The phenolic hydroxyl groups also afforded uniform distribution of the nanozyme in the hydrogel network, thereby improving its mechanical properties and conductivity. Furthermore, the nanozyme endowed the hydrogel with antibacterial activity through synergistic effects of the reactive oxygen species generated via POD-like catalytic reactions and the intrinsic bactericidal activity of Ag. Owing to these advantages, the ultrasmall TA-Ag nanozyme-catalyzed hydrogel could be effectively used as an adhesive, antibacterial, and implantable bioelectrode to detect bio-signals, and as a wound dressing to accelerate tissue regeneration while preventing infection.

However, their continuous operation is often limited by traditional battery technologies with a limited lifespan, creating a significant challenge for their development. Thus, it is highly desirable to harvest biomechanical energies from human motion for self-powered bio-integrated functional devices. Piezoelectric energy harvesters are ideal candidates to achieve this goal by converting biomechanical energy to electric energy. Because of their applications on soft and highly deformable tissues of the human body, these devices also need to be mechanically flexible and stretchable, thus posing a significant challenge. Effective methods to address the challenge include the exploration of new stretchable piezoelectric materials (e.g., hybrid composite material) and stretchable structures (e.g., buckled shapes, serpentine mesh layouts, kirigami designs, among others). This review presents an overview of the recent developments in new intrinsically stretchable piezoelectric materials and rigid inorganic piezoelectric materials with novel stretchable structures for flexible and stretchable piezoelectric sensors and energy harvesters. Following the discussion of theoretical modeling of the piezoelectric materials to convert mechanical deformations into electrical signals, the representative applications of stretchable piezoelectric materials and structures in wearable and implantable devices are briefly summarized.

While some studies pointed out wastewater treatment plants as a potential pathway of microplastics, none have focused on the atmospheric compartment. In this work, the atmospheric fallout of microplastics was investigated in two different urban and sub-urban sites. Microplastics were collected continuously with a stainless steel funnel. Samples were then filtered and observed with a stereomicroscope. Fibers accounted for almost all the microplastics collected. An atmospheric fallout between 2 and 355 particles/m(2)/day was highlighted. Registered fluxes were systematically higher at the urban than at the sub-urban site. Chemical characterization allowed to estimate at 29% the proportion of these fibers being all synthetic (made with petrochemicals), or a mixture of natural and synthetic material. Extrapolation using weight and volume estimates of the collected fibers, allowed a rough estimation showing that between 3 and 10 tons of fibers are deposited by atmospheric fallout at the scale of the Parisian agglomeration every year (2500 km(2)). These results could serve the scientific community working on the different sources of microplastic in both continental and marine environments. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Here, by using novel porous (holey) metallic 1T phase MoS2 nanosheets synthesized by a liquid-ammonia-assisted lithiation route, we systematically investigated the contributions of crystal structure (phase), edges, and sulfur vacancies (S-vacancies) to the catalytic activity toward HER from five representative MoS2 nanosheet samples, including 2H and IT phase, porous 2H and IT phase, and sulfur-compensated porous 2H phase. Superior HER catalytic activity was achieved in the porous IT phase MoS2 nanosheets that have even more edges and S-vacancies than conventional 1T phase MoS2. A comparative study revealed that the phase serves as the key role in determining the HER performance, as IT phase MoS2 always outperforms the corresponding 2H phase MoS2 samples, and that both edges and S-vacancies also contribute significantly to the catalytic activity in porous MoS2 samples. Then, using combined defect characterization techniques of electron spin resonance spectroscopy and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy to quantify the S-vacancies, the contributions of each factor were individually elucidated. This study presents new insights and opens up new avenues for designing electrocatalysts based on MoS2 or other layered materials with enhanced HER performance.","","","","","","","","","","","",1095,1163,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 29",2016,138,25,"","","","",7965,7972,"","10.1021/jacs.6b03714","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6b03714","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000378984300030","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Spectroscopic structural characterization and in situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry provide strong evidence that sp(2)-hybridized carbon near-ring ether defects along sheet edges are the most active sites for peroxide production, providing new insight into the electrocatalytic design of carbon-based materials for effective peroxide production.","","","","","","","","","","","",816,870,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2018,1,4,"","","","",282,290,"","10.1038/s41929-018-0044-2","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41929-018-0044-2","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000430451900015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, a novel iron nitride/nitrogen doped-graphene aerogel hybrid, synthesized by a facile two-step hydrothermal process, in which iron phthalocyanine is uniformly dispersed and anchored on graphene surface with the assist of - stacking and oxygen-containing functional groups, is reported. As a result, there exist strong interactions between Fe x N nanoparticles and graphene substrates, leading to a synergistic effect towards oxygen reduction reaction. It is worth noting that the onset potential and current density of the hybrid are significantly better and the charge transfer resistance is much lower than that of pure nitrogen-doped graphene aerogel, free Fe x N and their physical mixtures. The hybrid also exhibits comparable catalytic activity as commercial Pt/C at the same catalyst loading, while its stability and resistance to methanol crossover are superior. Interestingly, it is found that, apart from the active nature of the hybrid, the large surface area and porosity are responsible for its excellent onset potential and the high density of Fe-N-C sties and small size of Fe x N particles boost charge transfer rate.","","","","","","","","","","","",412,434,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2014,24,20,"","","","",2930,2937,"","10.1002/adfm.201303902","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201303902","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000337487300006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

P.","","","Temperature dependence of the mechanical properties of equiatomic solid solution alloys with face-centered cubic crystal structures","ACTA MATERIALIA","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Compared to decades-old theories of strengthening in dilute solid solutions, the mechanical behavior of concentrated solid solutions is relatively poorly understood. A special subset of these materials includes alloys in which the constituent elements are present in equal atomic proportions, including the high-entropy alloys of recent interest. A unique characteristic of equiatomic alloys is the absence of solvent and solute atoms, resulting in a breakdown of the textbook picture of dislocations moving through a solvent lattice and encountering discrete solute obstacles. To clarify the mechanical behavior of this interesting new class of materials, we investigate here a family of equiatomic binary, ternary and quaternary alloys based on the elements Fe, Ni, Co, Cr and Mn that were previously shown to be single-phase face-centered cubic (fcc) solid solutions. The alloys were arc-melted, drop-cast, homogenized, cold-rolled and recrystallized to produce equiaxed microstructures with comparable grain sizes. Tensile tests were performed at an engineering strain rate of 10(-3) s(-1) at temperatures in the range 77-673 K. Unalloyed fcc Ni was processed similarly and tested for comparison. The flow stresses depend to varying degrees on temperature, with some (e.g. NiCoCr, NiCoCrMn and FeNiCoCr) exhibiting yield and ultimate strengths that increase strongly with decreasing temperature, while others (e.g. NiCo and Ni) exhibit very weak temperature dependencies. To better understand this behavior, the temperature dependencies of the yield strength and strain hardening were analyzed separately. Lattice friction appears to be the predominant component of the temperature-dependent yield stress, possibly because the Peierls barrier height decreases with increasing temperature due to a thermally induced increase of dislocation width. In the early stages of plastic flow (5-13% strain, depending on material), the temperature dependence of strain hardening is due mainly to the temperature dependence of the shear modulus. In all the equiatomic alloys, ductility and strength increase with decreasing temperature down to 77 K. (C) 2014 Acta Materialia Inc. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Herein, the synthesis of a series of hierarchical hollow nanoplates (NPs) composed of ultrathin Co(3)O(4)nanosheets doped with 13 different metal atoms is reported. The synthesis involves a cooperative etching-coordination-reorganization approach starting from zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) NPs.

The photovoltaic performance of these devices is greatly dependent on the film morphology, which in turn is dependent on the deposition techniques and subsequent treatments employed. In this work the perovskite film is deposited by spin-coating a precursor solution of PbCl2 and CH3NH3I (1 to 3 molar ratio) in dimethylformamide. Here, the role of the temperature used in the annealing process required to convert the as deposited solution into the perovskite material is investigated. It is found that the conversion requires sufficiently high temperatures to ensure the vaporization of solvent and the crystallization of the perovskite material. However, increasing the annealing temperature too high leads to the additional formation of PbI2, which is detrimental to the photovoltaic performance. Furthermore, the effect of the annealing temperature on the film formation, morphology, and composition is examined and correlated with the photovoltaic performance and device working mechanisms.","","","","","","","","","","","",863,944,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,24,21,"","","","",3250,3258,"","10.1002/adfm.201304022","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201304022","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000337489400021","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This phenomenon is intimately linked to several diseases including neoplasia, sepsis and autoimmune diseases(1,2). Lactate, which is converted from pyruvate in tumour cells, is widely known as an energy source and metabolic by-product. However, its non-metabolic functions in physiology and disease remain unknown. Here we show that lactate-derived lactylation of histone lysine residues serves as an epigenetic modification that directly stimulates gene transcription from chromatin. We identify 28 lactylation sites on core histones in human and mouse cells. Hypoxia and bacterial challenges induce the production of lactate by glycolysis, and this acts as a precursor that stimulates histone lactylation. Using M1 macrophages that have been exposed to bacteria as a model system, we show that histone lactylation has different temporal dynamics from acetylation. In the late phase of M1 macrophage polarization, increased histone lactylation induces homeostatic genes that are involved in wound healing, including Arg1. Collectively, our results suggest that an endogenous 'lactate clock' in bacterially challenged M1 macrophages turns on gene expression to promote homeostasis. Histone lactylation thus represents an opportunity to improve our understanding of the functions of lactate and its role in diverse pathophysiological conditions, including infection and cancer.","","","","","","","","","","","",1847,1995,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 24",2019,574,7779,"","","","",575,"+","","10.1038/s41586-019-1678-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1678-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000492991700058","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The spectral overlap between UCNPs fluorescence emission and AuNPs absorption enables the occurrence of FRET when hybridizing the targeted aptamer and cDNA, causing upconversion fluorescence quenching. In the presence of target bacteria, the aptamers preferentially bind to bacteria forming a three-dimensional structure and thereby dissociate UCNPs-cDNA from AuNPs-aptamers, resulting in the recovery of upconversion fluorescence. Using the UCNPs based FRET aptasensor, we successfully detected Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 (as a model analyte) with a detection range of 5-10(6) du/mL and detection limit of 3 cfu/mL. The aptasensor was further used to detect E. coli in real food and water samples (e.g., tap/pond water, milk) within 20 min. The novel UCNPs based FRET aptasensor could be used to detect a broad range of targets from whole cells to metal ions by using different aptamer sequences, holding great potential in environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics and food safety analysis.","","","","","","","","","","","",270,287,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 15",2017,90,"","","","","",525,533,"","10.1016/j.bios.2016.10.029","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bios.2016.10.029","","","","","","Biophysics; Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; Chemistry; Electrochemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000392768000068","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Achieving such a precise separation using membranes requires Angstrom scale pores with a high level of pore size uniformity. Herein, we demonstrate that precise solute-solute separation can be achieved using polyamide membranes formed via surfactant-assembly regulated interfacial polymerization (SARIP). The dynamic, self-assembled network of surfactants facilitates faster and more homogeneous diffusion of amine monomers across the water/hexane interface during interfacial polymerization, thereby forming a polyamide active layer with more uniform sub-nanometre pores compared to those formed via conventional interfacial polymerization. The polyamide membrane formed by SARIP exhibits highly size-dependent sieving of solutes, yielding a step-wise transition from low rejection to near-perfect rejection over a solute size range smaller than half Angstrom.

However, the excess of oxidative stress impedes the healing process. Herein, a self-adaptive multifunctional hydrogel with self-healing property and injectability is fabricated through a boronic ester-based reaction between the phenylboronic acid groups of the 3-carboxyl-4-fluorophenylboronic acid -grafted quaternized chitosan and the hydroxyl groups of the polyvinyl alcohol, in which pro-angiogenic drug of desferrioxamine (DFO) is loaded in the form of gelatin microspheres (DFO@G). The boronic ester bonds of the hydrogel can self-adaptively react with hyperglycemic and hydrogen peroxide to alleviate oxidative stress and release DFO@G in the early phase of wound healing. A sustained release of DFO is then realized by responding to overexpressed matrix metalloproteinases. In a full-thickness diabetic wound model, the DFO@G loaded hydrogel accelerates angiogenesis by upregulating expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 and angiogenic growth factors, resulting in collagen deposition and rapid wound closure. This multifunctional hydrogel can not only self-adaptively change the microenvironment to a pro-healing state by decreasing oxidative stress, but also respond to matrix metalloproteinases to release DFO. The self-adaptive multifunctional hydrogel has a potential for treating diabetic wounds.","","","","","","","","","","","",296,299,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,20,"","","","","",561,573,"","10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.06.018","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.06.018","","","","","","Engineering; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000826897500002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Moreover, we demonstrate that the exfoliated flakes are highly crystalline and that they are stable even in free-standing form through Raman spectroscopy and TEM measurements.

The exciton binding energy, within an effective mass approximation, is also calculated for different number of layers. Our computational results for the optical gap are consistent with preliminary photoluminescence results on thin flakes. Finally, we study the environmental stability of black phosphorus flakes finding that the flakes are very hydrophilic and that long term exposure to air moisture etches black phosphorus away.

The band gaps of the series change progressively between 2.43 eV for the n = 1 member to 1.50 eV for the n = infinity adopting intermediate values of 2.17 eV (n = 2), 2.03 eV (n = 3), and 1.91 eV (n = 4) for those between the two compositional extrema. DFT calculations confirm this experimental trend and predict a direct band gap for all the members of the Ruddlesden Popper series. The estimated effective masses have values of m(h) = 0.14 m(0) and m(e) = 0.08 m(0) for holes and electrons, respectively, and are found to be nearly composition independent. The band gaps of higher n members indicate that these compounds can be used as efficient light absorbers in solar cells, which offer better solution processability and good environmental stability. The compounds exhibit intense room-temperature photoluminescence with emission wavelengths consistent with their energy gaps, 2.35 eV (n = 1), 2.12 eV (n = 2), 2.01 eV (n = 3), and 1.90 eV (n = 4) and point to their potential use in light-emitting diodes. In addition, owing to the low dimensionality and the difference in dielectric properties between the organic spacers and the inorganic perovskite layers, these compounds are naturally occurring multiple quantum well structures, which give rise to stable excitons at room temperature.","","","","","","","","","","","",1704,1861,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 26",2016,28,8,"","","","",2852,2867,"","10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b00847","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b00847","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000375244500043","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Modifying the local electronic structure of copper with positive valence sites has been predicted to boost conversion to C-2 products. Here, we use boron to tune the ratio of Cu delta+ to Cu-0 active sites and improve both stability and C-2-product generation. Simulations show that the ability to tune the average oxidation state of copper enables control over CO adsorption and dimerization, and makes it possible to implement a preference for the electrosynthesis of C-2 products. We report experimentally a C-2 Faradaic efficiency of 79 +/- 2% on boron-doped copper catalysts and further show that boron doping leads to catalysts that are stable for in excess of similar to 40 hours while electrochemically reducing CO2 to multi-carbon hydrocarbons.","","","","","","","","","","","",886,924,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2018,10,9,"","","","",974,980,"","10.1038/s41557-018-0092-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41557-018-0092-x","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000442395200013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we report a general and scalable protocol to prepare robust, highly crystalline imine COFs, based on an unexpected framework reconstruction. In contrast to standard approaches in which monomers are initially randomly aligned, our method involves the pre-organization of monomers using a reversible and removable covalent tether, followed by confined polymerization. This reconstruction route produces reconstructed COFs with greatly enhanced crystallinity and much higher porosity by means of a simple vacuum-free synthetic procedure. The increased crystallinity in the reconstructed COFs improves charge carrier transport, leading to sacrificial photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates of up to 27.98 mmol h(-1) g(-1).

Francesca","","","Soil organic carbon response to global environmental change depends on its distribution between mineral-associated and particulate organic matter: A meta-analysis","SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Soil organic carbon (SOC), as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays an important role in global carbon (C) cycling, which may be significantly impacted by global changes such as nitrogen (N) fertilization, elevated carbon dioxide (CO2), warming, and increased precipitation. Yet, our ability to accurately detect and predict the impact of these global changes on SOC dynamics is still limited. Investigating SOC responses to global changes separately for mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) and the particulate organic carbon (POC) can aid in the understanding of overall SOC responses, because these are formed, protected, and lost through different pathways. To this end, we performed a systematic meta-analysis of the response of SOC, MAOC, and POC to global changes. POC was particularly responsive, confirming that it is a better diagnostic indicator of soil C changes in the short-term, compared to bulk SOC and MAOC. The effects of elevated CO2 and warming were subtle and evident only in the POC fraction (+5.11% and -10.05%, respectively), while increased precipitation had no effects at all. Nitrogen fertilization, which comprised the majority of the dataset, increased SOC (+5.64%), MAOC (+4.49%), and POC (+13.17%). Effect size consistently varied with soil depth and experiment length, highlighting the importance of long-termexperiments that sample the full soil profile in global change SOC studies. In addition, SOC pool responses to warming were modified by degree of warming, differently for air and soil warming manipulations. Overall, we suggest that MAOC and POC respond differently to global changes and moderators because of the different formation and loss processes that control these pools. Coupled with additional plant and microbial measurements, studying the individual responses of POC and MAOC improves understanding of the underlying dynamics of SOC responses to global change. This will help inform the role of SOC in mitigating the climate crisis. (C) 2021 Elsevier B.V.

Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) have been demonstrated to be excellent semiconductors for ultrathin field-effect transistors(4,5). However, unusually high contact resistance has been observed across the interface between the metal and the 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide(3,5-9). Recent studies have shown that van der Waals contacts formed by transferred graphene(10,11) and metals(12) on few-layered transitionmetal dichalcogenides produce good contact properties. However, van der Waals contacts between a three-dimensional metal and a monolayer 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide have yet to be demonstrated. Here we report the realization of ultraclean van der Waals contacts between 10-nanometre-thick indium metal capped with 100-nanometre-thick gold electrodes and monolayer MoS2. Using scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging, we show that the indium and gold layers form a solid solution after annealing at 200 degrees Celsius and that the interface between the gold-capped indium and the MoS2 is atomically sharp with no detectable chemical interaction between the metal and the 2D transition-metal dichalcogenide, suggesting van-der-Waals-type bonding between the gold-capped indium and monolayer MoS2. The contact resistance of the indium/gold electrodes is 3,000 +/- 300 ohm micrometres for monolayer MoS2 and 800 +/- 200 ohm micrometres for few-layered MoS2. These values are among the lowest observed for three-dimensional metal electrodes evaporated onto MoS2, enabling high-performance field-effect transistors with a mobility of 167 +/- 20 square centimetres per volt per second. We also demonstrate a low contact resistance of 220 +/- 50 ohm micrometres on ultrathin niobium disulfide (NbS2) and near-ideal band offsets, indicative of defect-free interfaces, in tungsten disulfide (WS2) and tungsten diselenide (WSe2) contacted with indium alloy. Our work provides a simple method of making ultraclean van der Waals contacts using standard laboratory technology on monolayer 2D semiconductors.","","","","","","","","","","","",653,712,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 4",2019,568,7750,"","","","",70,"+","","10.1038/s41586-019-1052-3","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1052-3","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000463384900041","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Solution phase studies on purified nanocrystal samples by H-1 NMR and IR spectroscopies have confirmed the presence of both carboxylate and alkylammonium ligands on surfaces, with the alkylammonium ligand being much more mobile and susceptible to detachment from the nanocrystal surfaces during polar solvent washes. Moreover, the chain length variation of carboxylic acids and amines, ranging from 18 carbons down to two carbons, has shown independent correlation to the size and shape of nanocrystals in addition to the temperature effect. We have additionally demonstrated that employing a more soluble cesium acetate precursor in place of the universally used Cs2CO3 results in enhanced processability without sacrificing optical properties, thus offering a more versatile recipe for perovskite nanocrystal synthesis that allows the use of organic acids and amines bearing chains shorter than eight carbon atoms.

Here, we demonstrate that an atomically thin and sharp heterojunction p-n diode can be created by vertically stacking p-type monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) and n-type few-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Electrical measurements of the vertically staked WSe2/MoS2 heterojunctions reveal excellent current rectification behavior with an ideality factor of 1.2. Photocurrent mapping shows rapid photoresponse over the entire overlapping region with a highest external quantum efficiency up to 12%. Electroluminescence studies show prominent band edge excitonic emission and strikingly enhanced hot-electron luminescence. A systematic investigation shows distinct layer-number dependent emission characteristics and reveals important insight about the origin of hot-electron luminescence and the nature of electron-orbital interaction in TMDs. We believe that these atomically thin heterojunction p-n diodes represent an interesting system for probing the fundamental electro-optical properties in TMDs and can open up a new pathway to novel optoelectronic devices such as atomically thin photodetectors, photovoltaics, as well as spin- and valley-polarized light emitting diodes, on-chip lasers.","","","","","","","","","","","",959,1067,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2014,14,10,"","","","",5590,5597,"","10.1021/nl502075n","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nl502075n","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000343016400017","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Atomic force microscopy, electrostatic force microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy are employed to characterize the structure and chemistry of the degradation process, suggesting that O-2 saturated H2O irreversibly reacts with BP to form oxidized phosphorus species. This interpretation is further supported by the observation that BP degradation occurs more rapidly on hydrophobic octadecyltrichlorosilane self-assembled monolayers and on H-Si(111) versus hydrophilic SiO2. For unencapsulated BP field-effect transistors, the ambient degradation causes large increases in threshold voltage after 6 h in ambient, followed by a similar to 10(3) decrease in FET current on/off ratio and mobility after 48 h. Atomic layer deposited AlOx overlayers effectively suppress ambient degradation, allowing encapsulated BP FETs to maintain high on/off ratios of similar to 103 and mobilities of similar to 100 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) for over 2 weeks in ambient conditions. This work shows that the ambient degradation of BP can be managed effectively when the flakes are sufficiently passivated.

The loading of noble-metal co-catalysts can substantially improve the photocatalytic efficiency of semiconductors. Because the high cost and scarcity of noble metals markedly limit their large-scale applications, finding a noble-metal-alternative co-catalyst is crucial. MXene, a novel 2D transition metal material, has attracted considerable attention as a promising substitute for noble metal co-catalysts owing to its cost-efficiency, unique 2D layered structure, and excellent electrical, optical, and thermodynamic properties. This review focuses on the latest advancements in research on MXenes as co-catalysts in relatively popular photocatalytic applications (hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, nitrogen fixation, and organic pollutant oxidation). The synthesis methods and photocatalytic mechanisms of MXenes as co-catalysts are also summarized according to the type of MXene-based material. Finally, the crucial opportunities and challenges in the prospective development of MXene-based photocatalysts are outlined.

The noncentrosymmetric R3m symmetry of the alpha-In2Se3 samples is confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy, second-harmonic generation, and Raman spectroscopy measurements. Domains with opposite polarizations are visualized by piezo-response force microscopy. Single-point poling experiments suggest that the polarization is potentially switchable for alpha-In2Se3 nanoflakes with thicknesses down to similar to 10 nm. The piezotronic effect is demonstrated in two-terminal devices, where the Schottky barrier can be modulated by the strain-induced piezopotential.

Alloy anodes are one promising option, but without pre-stored lithium, the overall energy density is limited by the low-capacity lithium metal oxide cathodes. Recently, lithium metal has been revived as a high-capacity anode, but faces several challenges owing to its high reactivity and uncontrolled dendrite growth. Here, we show a series of Li-containing foils inheriting the desirable properties of alloy anodes and pure metal anodes. They consist of densely packed LixM (M= Si, Sn, or Al) nanoparticles encapsulated by large graphene sheets. With the protection of graphene sheets, the large and freestanding LixM/graphene foils are stable in different air conditions. With fully expanded LixSi confined in the highly conductive and chemically stable graphene matrix, this LixSi/graphene foil maintains a stable structure and cyclability in half cells (400 cycles with 98% capacity retention). This foil is also paired with high-capacity Li-free V2O5 and sulfur cathodes to achieve stable full-cell cycling.","","","","","","","","","","","",412,439,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2017,12,10,"","","","",993,999,"","10.1038/NNANO.2017.129","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NNANO.2017.129","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000412432500018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, an atomically dispersed Ru/Co dual-sites catalyst is reported anchored on N-doped carbon (Ru/Co-N-C) for outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The Ru/Co-N-C catalyst requires the overpotential of only 13 and 23 mV for HER, 232 and 247 mV for OER to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm(geo)(-2) in 0.5 m H2SO4 and 1 m KOH, respectively, outperforming benchmark catalysts Pt/C and RuO2. Theoretical calculations reveal that the introduction of Co-N4 sites into Ru/Co-N-C efficiently modify the electronic structure of Ru by enlarging Ru-O covalency and increasing Ru electron density, which in turn optimize the bonding strength between oxygen/hydrogen intermediate species with Ru sites, thereby enhancing OER and HER performance. Furthermore, the incorporation of Co-N4 sites induces electron redistribution around Ru-N4, thus enhancing corrosion-resistance of Ru/Co-N-C during acid and alkaline electrolysis. The Ru/Co-N-C has been applied in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer and steady operation is demonstrated at a high current density of 450 mA cm(geo)(-2) for 330 h.","","","","","","","","","","","",307,312,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2022,34,21,"","","","","","",2110103,"10.1002/adma.202110103","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.202110103","","APR 2022","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000786440900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we develop a doping technique to tackle this long-standing issue of instability and thus increase the capacity of LiCoO2. La and Al are concurrently doped into Co-containing precursors, followed by high-temperature calcination with lithium carbonate. The dopants are found to reside in the crystal lattice of LiCoO2, where La works as a pillar to increase the c axis distance and Al as a positively charged centre, facilitating Li+ diffusion, stabilizing the structure and suppressing the phase transition during cycling, even at a high cut-off voltage of 4.5 V.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable plastics used in mulch films, and in packaging material to minimize plastic waste and to reduce soil pollution. Little is known, however, about the effect of microbioplastics on soil-plant interactions, especially soil microbial community structure and functioning in agroecosystems. For the first time, we combined zymography (to localize enzyme activity hotspots) with substrate-induced growth respiration to investigate the effect of PHAs addition on soil microbial community structure, growth, and exoenzyme kinetics in the microplastisphere (i.e. interface between soil and microplastic particles) compared to the rhizosphere and bulk soil. We used a common PHAs biopolymer, poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and showed that PHBV was readily used by the microbial community as a source of carbon (C) resulting in an increased specific microbial growth rate and a more active microbial biomass in the microplastisphere in comparison to the bulk soil. Higher ss-glucosidase and leucine aminopeptidase activities (0.6-5.0 times higher Vmax) and lower enzyme affinities (1.5-2.0 times higher Km) were also detected in the microplastisphere relative to the rhizosphere. Furthermore, the PHBV addition changed the soil bacterial community at different taxonomical levels and increased the alpha diversity, as well as the relative abundance of Acidobacteria and Verrucomicrobia phyla, compared to the untreated soils. Overall, PHBV addition created soil hotspots where C and nutrient turnover is greatly enhanced, mainly driven by the accelerated microbial biomass and activity. In conclusion, microbioplastics have the potential to alter soil ecological functioning and biogeochemical cycling (e.g., SOM decomposition).","","","","","","","","","","","",371,412,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2021,156,"","","","","","","",108211,"10.1016/j.soilbio.2021.108211","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2021.108211","","MAR 2021","","","","Agriculture","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000640189100034","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we report an ammonium-enriched anion exchange ionomer that improves the performance of an AEM electrolyser to levels approaching that of state-of-the-art proton exchange membrane electrolysers. Using rotating-disk electrode experiments, we show that a high pH (>13) in the electrode binder is the critical factor for improving the activity of the hydrogen- and oxygen-evolution reactions in AEM electrolysers.

The limited durability of the AEM electrolyser remains a challenge to be addressed in the future. Anion exchange membrane water electrolysers have potential cost advantages over proton exchange membrane electrolysers, but their performance has lagged behind.

Herein, a Co-Ni-Fe spinet oxide-carbonitrides hybrids (CoNiFeOx-NC) electrocatalyst with hierarchical structure was synthesized from Fe-MIL-101-NH2 through a unique ion-exchange based strategy. The ion exchange of Fe-MIL-101-NH2 with both Ni and Co ions induced a hierarchically structured 2-D ternary metal MOF shell layer encapsulated 3-D octahedral MOF crystals as a core. This prevents the collapse of MOF frameworks during the air calcination process and affords highly porous structure and large surface area. Additionally, the unique combination of Co-Ni-Fe in spinet oxides derived from calcination of the hierarchically structured core-shell MOF provides a favorable electronic environment for the adsorption of OER intermediates, which was further verified by the XPS characterizations and DFT calculations. DFT study revealed the Ni-Co coordinated O-h sites in the MFe2O4 reverse spinet structures as the main active sites, which tuned the binding strength of oxygen species with a catalyst through electron transfer of Fe -> Co -> Ni, thereby lowered the energy barriers for OER. As a result, the rationally designed CoNiFeOx-NC catalyst manifests superior OER performance with a low overpotential of 265 mV at 50 mA cm(-2) and a decent Tafel slope of 64.1 mV dec(-1).

The formation of inactive ('dead') lithium- which consists of both (electro)chemically formed Li+ compounds in the solid electrolyte interphase and electrically isolated unreacted metallic Li-0 (refs(4,5))-causes capacity loss and safety hazards. Quantitatively distinguishing between Li+ in components of the solid electrolyte interphase and unreacted metallic Li-0 has not been possible, owing to the lack of effective diagnostic tools. Optical microscopy(6), in situ environmental transmission electron microscopy(7,8), X-ray microtomography(9) and magnetic resonance imaging(10) provide a morphological perspective with little chemical information. Nuclear magnetic resonance(11), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(12) and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy(13,14) can distinguish between Li+ in the solid electrolyte interphase and metallic Li-0, but their detection ranges are limited to surfaces or local regions. Here we establish the analytical method of titration gas chromatography to quantify the contribution of unreacted metallic Li-0 to the total amount of inactive lithium. We identify the unreacted metallic Li-0, not the (electro)chemically formed Li+ in the solid electrolyte interphase, as the dominant source of inactive lithium and capacity loss. By coupling the unreacted metallic Li-0 content to observations of its local microstructure and nanostructure by cryogenic electron microscopy (both scanning and transmission), we also establish the formation mechanism of inactive lithium in different types of electrolytes and determine the underlying cause of low Coulombic efficiency in plating and stripping (the charge and discharge processes, respectively, in a full cell) of lithium metal anodes. We propose strategies for making lithium plating and stripping more efficient so that lithium metal anodes can be used for next-generation high-energy batteries.","","","","","","","","","","","",817,903,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 22",2019,572,7770,"","","","",511,"+","","10.1038/s41586-019-1481-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1481-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000482219600042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Most coating materials, however, face significant challenges, including a low initial Coulombic efficiency, tedious processing, and safety assessment. In this study, a facile sol-gel strategy is demonstrated to synthesize commercial Si nanoparticles encapsulated by amorphous titanium oxide (TiO2), with core-shell structures, which show greatly superior electrochemical performance and high-safety lithium storage. The amorphous TiO2 shell (approximate to 3 nm) shows elastic behavior during lithium discharging and charging processes, maintaining high structural integrity. Interestingly, it is found that the amorphous TiO2 shells offer superior buffering properties compared to crystalline TiO2 layers for unprecedented cycling stability. Moreover, accelerating rate calorimetry testing reveals that the TiO2-encapsulated Si nanoparticles are safer than conventional carbon-coated Si-based anodes.","","","","","","","","","","","",435,448,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 27",2017,29,48,"","","SI","","","",1700523,"10.1002/adma.201700523","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201700523","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000418272000015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

These systems are predicted to exhibit an anomalous Hall effect whose sign depends on the valley index. Here, we report the observation of this so-called valley Hall effect (VHE). Monolayer MoS2 transistors are illuminated with circularly polarized light, which preferentially excites electrons into a specific valley, causing a finite anomalous Hall voltage whose sign is controlled by the helicity of the light. No anomalous Hall effect is observed in bilayer devices, which have crystal inversion symmetry. Our observation of the VHE opens up new possibilities for using the valley DOF as an information carrier in next-generation electronics and optoelectronics.","","","","","","","","","","","",1600,1802,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 27",2014,344,6191,"","","","",1489,1492,"","10.1126/science.1250140","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.1250140","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000337889900043","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Chemoluminescent cross-linking molecules, which emit light as they break, map in real time where and when many of these internal bonds break ahead of a propagating crack.

TiO2-reduced graphene oxide (TiO2-rGO) composite photocatalysts were synthesized by two ex-situ synthesis methods, namely hydrothermal (HD) treatment and photocatalytic (PH) treatment, starting from graphene oxide and Aeroxide P25 TiO2, and were characterized with various techniques, such as XRD, FT-IR, Raman, XPS, SEM and surface area (BET) analyses. The potential of the synthesized TiO2-rGO composites for the removal of the above mentioned antibiotic-related microcontaminants was compared to the efficiency shown by pristine Aeroxide P25 TiO2 under simulated solar radiation, in real urban wastewater effluents treated by a membrane bioreactor. The results showed that TiO2-rGO-PH was more efficient in the photocatalytic degradation of ERY (84 +/- 2%) and CIA (86 +/- 5%), while degradation of SMX (87 +/- 4%) was found to be slightly higher with Aeroxide P25 TiO2. It was also demonstrated that more than 180 min of treatment were satisfactory for the complete inactivation and complete absence of post-treatment regrowth of E. colt bacteria (< LOD) even 24 h after the end of the treatment, for all examined photocatalytic materials. The least amount of regrowth at all experimental times was observed in the presence of TiO2-rGO-HD. Moreover, the synthesized graphene-based photocatalysts successfully removed ampC and significantly reduced ecfX abundance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, but sell, ermB and 23S rRNA for enterococci sequences were found to be persistent throughout treatment with all catalyst types. Finally, the total DNA concentration remained stable throughout the photocatalytic treatment (4.2-4.8 ng mu L-1), indicating the high total genomic DNA stability in treated wastewater and its resistance to photocatalytic treatment.","","","","","","","","","","","",262,288,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2018,224,"","","","","",810,824,"","10.1016/j.apcatb.2017.11.020","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2017.11.020","","","","","","Chemistry; Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000424960700084","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The concept of multiple-principal-element alloys has recently expanded this view, as these materials are single-phase solid solutions of generally equiatomic mixtures of metallic elements. This group of materials has received much interest owing to their enhanced mechanical properties(1-5). They are usually called medium-entropy alloys in ternary systems and high-entropy alloys in quaternary or quinary systems, alluding to their high degree of configurational entropy. However, the question has remained as to how random these solid solutions actually are, with the influence of short-range order being suggested in computational simulations but not seen experimentally(6,7). Here we report the observation, using energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy, of structural features attributable to short-range order in the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy. Increasing amounts of such order give rise to both higher stacking-fault energy and hardness. These findings suggest that the degree of local ordering at the nanometre scale can be tailored through thermomechanical processing, providing a new avenue for tuning the mechanical properties of medium- and high-entropy alloys. Metal alloys consisting of three or more major elemental components show enhanced mechanical properties, which are now shown to be correlated with short-range order observed with electron microscopy.","","","","","","","","","","","",877,918,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2020,581,7808,"","","","",283,"+","","10.1038/s41586-020-2275-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2275-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000534818200011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, the authors developed a hollow mesoporous Mn/Zr-co-doped CeO2 tandem nanozyme (PHMZCO-AT) with regulated multi-enzymatic activities, that is, the enhancement of superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and peroxidase (POD)-like activities and inhibition of catalase (CAT)-like activity. PHMZCO-AT as a H2O2 homeostasis disruptor promotes H2O2 evolution and restrains off-target elimination of H2O2 to achieve intensive NCDT. PHMZCO-AT with SOD-like activity catalyzes endogenous superoxide anion (O-2(center dot-)) into H2O2 in the tumor region. The suppression of CAT activity and depletion of glutathione by PHMZCO-AT largely weaken the off-target decomposition of H2O2 to H2O. Elevated H2O2 is then catalyzed by the downstream POD-like activity of PHMZCO-AT to generate toxic hydroxyl radicals, further inducing tumor apoptosis and death. T-1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and X-ray computed tomography imaging are also achieved using PHMZCO-AT due to the existence of paramagnetic Mn2+ and the high X-ray attenuation ability of elemental Zr, permitting in vivo tracking of the therapeutic process.

Semi-metals, exemplified by bismuth, graphite and telluride alloys, have no energy bandgap and a very low density of states at the Fermi level. Furthermore, they typically have a higher Seebeck coefficient and lower thermal conductivities compared with metals, thus being suitable for thermoelectric applications. We measure the thermoelectric properties of various poly( 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) samples, and observe a marked increase in the Seebeck coefficient when the electrical conductivity is enhanced through molecular organization. This initiates the transition from a Fermi glass to a semi-metal.

Composite electrolytes have been prepared with cubic-phase Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) garnet and polyethylene oxide (PEO) and employed in symmetric lithium battery cells. By combining selective isotope labeling and high-resolution solid-state Li NMR, we are able to track Li ion pathways within LLZO-PEO composite electrolytes by monitoring the replacement of Li-7 in the composite electrolyte by Li-6 from the Li-6 metal electrodes during battery cycling. We have provided the first experimental evidence to show that Li ions favor the pathway through the LLZO ceramic phase instead of the PEO-LLZO interface or PEO.

Despite tremendous efforts to develop new strategies and materials to realize this process, maintaining enzyme activity is still a formidable challenge. Herein we created a sacrificial templating method, using metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as sacrificial templates to construct hollow covalent organic framework (COF) capsules for enzyme encapsulation. This strategy can provide a capacious microenvironment to unleash enzyme molecules. The improved conformational freedom of enzymes, enhanced mass transfer, and protective effect against the external environment ultimately boosted the enzymatic activities. We also found that this strategy possesses high versatility that is suitable for diverse biomacromolecules, MOF templates, and COF capsules. Moreover, the dimensions, pore sizes, and shell thickness of COF capsules can be conveniently tuned, allowing for customizing bioreactors for specific functions. For example, coencapsulation of different enzymes with synergistic functions were successfully demonstrated using this bioreactor platform. This study not only opens up a new avenue to overcome the present limitations of enzymatic immobilization in porous matrixes but also provides new opportunities for construction of biomicrodevices or artificial organelles based on crystalline porous materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",274,283,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 8",2020,142,14,"","","","",6675,6681,"","10.1021/jacs.0c00285","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c00285","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000526394200028","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here a bioinspired, facile method to fabricate anisotropic hydrogels with perfectly aligned multiscale hierarchical fibrous structures similar to those of tendons and ligaments is reported. The method includes drying a diluted physical hydrogel in air by confining its length direction. During this process, sufficiently high tensile stress is built along the length direction to align the polymer chains and multiscale fibrous structures (from nano- to submicro- to microscale) are spontaneously formed in the bulk material, which are well-retained in the reswollen gel. The method is useful for relatively rigid polymers (such as alginate and cellulose), which are susceptible to mechanical signal. By controlling the drying with or without prestretching, the degree of alignment, size of superstructures, and the strength of supramolecular interactions can be tuned, which sensitively influence the strength and toughness of the hydrogels. The mechanical properties are comparable with those of natural ligaments. This study provides a general strategy for designing hydrogels with highly ordered hierarchical structures, which opens routes for the development of many functional biomimetic materials for biomedical applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",377,396,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 1",2018,30,9,"","","","","","",1704937,"10.1002/adma.201704937","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201704937","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000426491600009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This work provides an effective strategy to improve the activities of single-atom modified transition metal dichalcogenides catalysts by precise strain engineering.

As ferroelectric materials are made thinner, however, the ferroelectricity is usually suppressed. Size effects in ferroelectrics have been thoroughly investigated in perovskite oxides-the archetypal ferroelectric system(3). Perovskites, however, have so far proved unsuitable for thickness scaling and integration with modern semiconductor processes(4). Here we report ferroelectricity in ultrathin doped hafnium oxide (HfO2), a fluorite-structure oxide grown by atomic layer deposition on silicon. We demonstrate the persistence of inversion symmetry breaking and spontaneous, switchable polarization down to a thickness of one nanometre. Our results indicate not only the absence of a ferroelectric critical thickness but also enhanced polar distortions as film thickness is reduced, unlike in perovskite ferroelectrics. This approach to enhancing ferroelectricity in ultrathin layers could provide a route towards polarization-driven memories and ferroelectric-based advanced transistors. This work shifts the search for the fundamental limits of ferroelectricity to simpler transition-metal oxide systems-that is, from perovskite-derived complex oxides to fluorite-structure binary oxides-in which 'reverse' size effects counterintuitively stabilize polar symmetry in the ultrathin regime. Enhanced switchable ferroelectric polarization is achieved in doped hafnium oxide films grown directly onto silicon using low-temperature atomic layer deposition, even at thicknesses of just one nanometre.","","","","","","","","","","","",634,670,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2020,580,7804,"","","","",478,"+","","10.1038/s41586-020-2208-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2208-x","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000528065800018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we report on the fabrication of similar to 1 x 1 cm(2) Ti3C2 films by selective etching of Al, from sputter-deposited epitaxial Ti3AlC2 films, in aqueous HF or NH4HF2.

Below 100 K, the films' resistivity increases with decreasing temperature and they exhibit negative magnetoresistance-both observations consistent with a weak localization phenomenon characteristic of many 2D defective solids.

Preparation of crystalline g-C3N4 by the molten salt method has proven to be an effective method to improve the photocatalytic activity. However, crystalline g-C3N4 prepared by the conventional molten salt method exhibits a less regular morphology. Herein, highly crystalline g-C3N4 hollow spheres (CCNHS) were successfully prepared by the molten salt method using cyanuric acid-melamine as a precursor. The higher crystallization of the CCNHS samples not only repaired the structural defects at the surface of the CCNHS samples but also established a built-in electric field between heptazine-based g-C3N4 and triazine-based g-C3N4. The hollow structure improved the level of light energy utilization and increased the number of active sites for photocatalytic reactions. Because of the above characteristics, the as-prepared CCNHS samples simultaneously realized photocatalytic hydrogen evolution with the degradation of the plasticizer bisphenol A.

However, current electrocatalysts offer only limited selectivity toward ethanol. Here we report a carbon-supported copper (Cu) catalyst, synthesized by an amalgamated Cu-Li method, that achieves a single-product Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 91% at -0.7 V (versus the reversible hydrogen electrode) and onset potential as low as -0.4 V (reversible hydrogen electrode) for electrocatalytic CO2-to-ethanol conversion. The catalyst operated stably over 16 h. The FE of ethanol was highly sensitive to the initial dispersion of Cu atoms and decreased significantly when CuO and large Cu clusters become predominant species. Operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy identified a reversible transformation from atomically dispersed Cu atoms to Cu(n)clusters (n = 3 and 4) on application of electrochemical conditions. First-principles calculations further elucidate the possible catalytic mechanism of CO(2)reduction over Cu-n. Electrocatalytically reducing CO(2)to ethanol can provide renewably generated fuel, but catalysts are often poorly selective for this conversion.

The need of integrating blood vessels brings additional complexity, limiting the available approaches that are suitable to produce integrated cardiovascular organoids. In this work we propose a novel hybrid strategy based on 3D bioprinting, to fabricate endothelialized myocardium. Enabled by the use of our composite bioink, endothelial cells directly bioprinted within microfibrous hydrogel scaffolds gradually migrated towards the peripheries of the microfibers to form a layer of confluent endothelium. Together with controlled anisotropy, this 3D endothelial bed was then seeded with cardiomyocytes to generate aligned myocardium capable of spontaneous and synchronous contraction. We further embedded the organoids into a specially designed microfluidic perfusion bioreactor to complete the endothelialized-myocardium-on-a-chip platform for cardiovascular toxicity evaluation. Finally, we demonstrated that such a technique could be translated to human cardiomyocytes derived from induced pluripotent stem cells to construct endothelialized human myocardium. We believe that our method for generation of endothelialized organoids fabricated through an innovative 3D bioprinting technology may find widespread applications in regenerative medicine, drug screening, and potentially disease modeling.

Yet, the lack of functionalization in aerogel fibers limits their applications. Herein, we report hygroscopic holey graphene aerogel fibers (LiCl@HGAFs) with integrated functionalities of highly efficient moisture capture, heat allocation, and microwave absorption. LiCl@HGAFs realize the water sorption capacity over 4.15 g g(-1), due to the high surface area and high water uptake kinetics. Moreover, the sorbent can be regenerated through both photo-thermal and electro-thermal approaches. Along with the water sorption and desorption, LiCl@HGAFs experience an efficient heat transfer process, with a heat storage capacity of 6.93 kJ g(-1). The coefficient of performance in the heating and cooling mode can reach 1.72 and 0.70, respectively. Notably, with the entrapped water, LiCl@HGAFs exhibit broad microwave absorption with a bandwidth of 9.69 GHz, good impedance matching, and a high attenuation constant of 585. In light of these findings, the multifunctional LiCl@HGAFs open an avenue for applications in water harvest, heat allocation, and microwave absorption. This strategy also suggests the possibility to functionalize aerogel fibers towards even broader applications. Functionalization of aerogel fibers, characterized by high porosity and low thermal conductivity, to obtain multifunctional materials is highly desirable. Here the authors report hygroscopic holey graphene aerogel fibers hosting LiCl salt, enabling moisture capture, heat allocation, and microwave absorption performance.","","","","","","","","","","","",293,302,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 9",2022,13,1,"","","","","","",1227,"10.1038/s41467-022-28906-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28906-4","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000766759300018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Among all solid electrolyte materials ranging from sulfides to oxides and oxynitrides, cubic garnet-type Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) ceramic electrolytes are superior candidates because of their high ionic conductivity (10(-3) to 10(-4) S/cm) and good stability against Li metal. However, garnet solid electrolytes generally have poor contact with Li metal, which causes high resistance and uneven current distribution at the interface. To address this challenge, we demonstrate a strategy to engineer the garnet solid electrolyte and the Li metal interface by forming an intermediary Li-metal alloy, which changes the wettability of the garnet surface (lithiophobic to lithiophilic) and reduces the interface resistance by more than an order of magnitude: 950 ohm.cm(2) for the pristine garnet/Li and 75 ohm.cm(2) for the surface-engineered garnet/Li. Li7La2.75Ca0.25Zr1.75Nb0.25O12 (LLCZN) was selected as the solid-state electrolyte (SSE) in this work because of its low sintering temperature, stabilized cubic garnet phase, and high ionic conductivity. This low area-specific resistance enables a solid-state garnet SSE/Li metal configuration and promotes the development of a hybrid electrolyte system. The hybrid system uses the improved solid-state garnet SSE Li metal anode and a thin liquid electrolyte cathode interfacial layer. This work provides new ways to address the garnet SSE wetting issue against Li and get more stable cell performances based on the hybrid electrolyte system for Li-ion, Li-sulfur, and Li-oxygen batteries toward the next generation of Li metal batteries.","","","","","","","","","","","",741,837,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2017,3,4,"","","","","","","e1601659","10.1126/sciadv.1601659","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1601659","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000401954800011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the poor activity and selectivity of the 2 e(-) water oxidation reaction (WOR) greatly restricts the efficiency of photocatalytic H2O2 production. Herein we prepare a bipyridine-based covalent organic framework photocatalyst (denoted as COF-TfpBpy) for H2O2 production from water and air. The solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) efficiency at 298 K and 333 K is 0.57 % and 1.08 %, respectively, which are higher than the current reported highest value. The resulting H2O2 solution is capable of degrading pollutants. A mechanistic study revealed that the excellent photocatalytic activity of COF-TfpBpy is due to the protonation of bipyridine monomer, which promotes the rate-determining reaction (2 e(-) WOR) and then enhances Yeager-type oxygen adsorption to accelerate 2 e(-) one-step oxygen reduction. This work demonstrates, for the first time, the COF-catalyzed photosynthesis of H2O2 from water and air; and paves the way for wastewater treatment using photocatalytic H2O2 solution.","","","","","","","","","","","",196,200,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 2",2022,61,19,"","","","","","","e202200413","10.1002/anie.202200413","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.202200413","","FEB 2022","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000760773800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this paper, we have developed a self-powered and self-functional sock (S-2-sock) to realize diversified functions including energy harvesting and sensing various physiological signals, i.e., gait, contact force, sweat level, etc., by hybrid integrating poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)-coated fabric triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) piezoelectric chips. An output power of 1.71 mW is collected from a PEDOT:PSS-coated sock with mild jumping at 2 Hz and load resistance of 59.7 M Omega The study shows that cotton socks worn daily can potentially be a power source for enabling self-sustained socks comprising wireless transmission modules and integrated circuits in the future. We also investigate the influences of environmental humidity, temperature, and weight variations and verify that our S-2-sock can successfully achieve walking pattern recognition and motion tracking for smart home applications. On the basis of the sensor fusion concept, the outputs from TENG and PZT sensors under exercise activities are effectively merged together for quick detection of the sweat level.

For example, liquid-crystal networks can be programmed to undergo stimulus-induced deformations in various geometries, including in response to light(5,6). Azobenzene molecules are often incorporated into liquid-crystal polymer films to make them photoresponsive(7-11); however, in most cases only the bending responses of these films have been studied, and relaxation after photo-isomerization is rather slow. Modifying the core or adding substituents to the azobenzene moiety can lead to marked changes in photophysical and photochemical properties(12-15), providing an opportunity to circumvent the use of a complex set-up that involves multiple light sources, lenses or mirrors. Here, by incorporating azobenzene derivatives with fast cis-to-trans thermal relaxation into liquid-crystal networks, we generate photoactive polymer films that exhibit continuous, directional, macroscopic mechanical waves under constant light illumination, with a feedback loop that is driven by self-shadowing. We explain the mechanism of wave generation using a theoretical model and numerical simulations, which show good qualitative agreement with our experiments. We also demonstrate the potential application of our photoactive films in light-driven locomotion and self-cleaning surfaces, and anticipate further applications in fields such as photomechanical energy harvesting and miniaturized transport.","","","","","","","","","","","",817,862,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 29",2017,546,7660,"","","","",632,"+","","10.1038/nature22987","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature22987","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000404332000043","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The implications to practical engineering design scenarios are profound, since the time taken from design to analysis is greatly reduced, leading to dramatic gains in efficiency. In this manuscript, through a self-contained Matlab (R) implementation, we present an introduction to IGA applied to simple analysis problems and the related computer implementation aspects. Furthermore, implementation of the extended IGA which incorporates enrichment functions through the partition of unity method (PUM) is also presented, where several examples for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional fracture are illustrated. We also describe the use of IGA in the context of strong-form (collocation) formulations, which has been an area of research interest due to the potential for significant efficiency gains offered by these methods. The code which accompanies the present paper can be applied to one, two and three-dimensional problems for linear elasticity, linear elastic fracture mechanics, structural mechanics (beams/plates/shells including large displacements and rotations) and Poisson problems with or without enrichment.

Herein, abundant MnO/Co heterointerfaces are engineered in porous graphitic carbon (MnO/Co/PGC) polyhedrons via a facile hydrothermal-calcination route with a bimetal-organic framework as the precursor. The in situ generated Co nanocrystals not only create well-defined heterointerfaces with high conductivity to overcome the poor OER activity but also promote the formation of robust graphitic carbon. Owing to the desired composition and formation of the heterostructures, the resulting MnO/Co/PGC exhibits superior activity and stability toward both OER and ORR, which makes it an efficient air cathode for the rechargeable Zn-air battery. Importantly, the homemade Zn-air battery is able to deliver excellent performance including a peak power density of 172 mW cm(-2) and a specific capacity of 872 mAh g(-1), as well as excellent cycling stability (350 cycles), outperforming commercial mixed Pt/C||RuO2 catalysts.

During deposition, however, the Pt atoms often take an island growth mode because of a strong bonding between Pt atoms. Here we report a versatile route to the conformal deposition of Pt as uniform, ultrathin shells on Pd nanocubes in a solution phase. The introduction of the Pt precursor at a relatively slow rate and high temperature allowed the deposited Pt atoms to spread across the entire surface of a Pd nanocube to generate a uniform shell. The thickness of the Pt shell could be controlled from one to six atomic layers by varying the amount of Pt precursor added into the system. Compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst, the Pd@Pt-nL (n = 1-6) core-shell nanocubes showed enhancements in specific activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on model (100) surfaces suggest that the enhancement in specific activity can be attributed to the weakening of OH binding through ligand and strain effects, which, in turn, increases the rate of OH hydrogenation. A volcano-type relationship between the ORR specific activity and the number of Pt atomic layers was derived, in good agreement with the experimental results. Both theoretical and experimental studies indicate that the ORR specific activity was maximized for the catalysts based on Pd@Pt2-3L nanocubes. Because of the reduction in Pt content used and the enhancement in specific activity, the Pd@Pt-1L nanocubes showed a Pt mass activity with almost three-fold enhancement relative to the Pt/C catalyst.","","","","","","","","","","","",446,488,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,14,6,"","","","",3570,3576,"","10.1021/nl501205j","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/nl501205j","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000337337100092","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Using an in situ secondary doping treatment of the PEDOT:PSS with small quantities of formic acid, electrodes containing 80 wt % SiNPs can be prepared with electrical conductivity as high as 4.2 S/cm.

Moreover, multicolored light-emitting diodes based on these CQDs display good stability, high color-purity, and high-performance with maximum luminance of 1882-4762 cd m(-2) and current efficiency of 1.22-5.11 cd A(-1).

The common solid electrolytes were found to have a limited electrochemical window. Our results suggest that the outstanding stability of the solid electrolyte materials is not thermodynamically intrinsic but is originated from kinetic stabilizations. The sluggish kinetics of the decomposition reactions cause a high overpotential leading to a nominally wide electrochemical window observed in many experiments. The decomposition products, similar to the solid-electrolyte-interphases, mitigate the extreme chemical potential from the electrodes and protect the solid electrolyte from further decompositions. With the aid of the first-principles calculations, we revealed the passivation mechanism of these decomposition interphases and quantified the extensions of the electrochemical window from the interphases. We also found that the artificial coating layers applied at the solid electrolyte and electrode interfaces have a similar effect of passivating the solid electrolyte. Our newly gained understanding provided general principles for developing solid electrolyte materials with enhanced stability and for engineering interfaces in all-solid-state Li-ion batteries.","","","","","","","","","","","",1461,1607,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 28",2015,7,42,"","","","",23685,23693,"","10.1021/acsami.5b07517","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsami.5b07517","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000363994700039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Thermal interface materials (TIMs), applied between heat sources and heat sinks, are essential ingredients of thermal management. Carbon fibers are promising fillers because of its numerous advantages including high thermal conductivity, high strength-to-weight ratio, desired fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. However, they are rarely considered in preparing TIMs at present, because the one-dimensional structure of carbon fibers largely enhance the viscosity of the composites using conventional methods, and thus increase the complexity of processing. Herein, we report a thermally conducive TIM based on the construction of three dimensional and vertically aligned carbon fibers (3D-CFs) skeleton. The 3D-CFs skeleton is fabricated by vertical freezing the solution of CFs followed by freeze-dying to remove the ice and then infiltrating them with epoxy resin matrix. At a relatively low CFs loading of 13.0 vol%, the composites show an enhanced through-plane thermal conductivity (2.84 W m(-1) K-1) compared to that of a neat epoxy resin (0.19 W m(-1) K-1). Theoretical models qualitatively demonstrate that the interfacial thermal resistance is mainly originated from CFs-CFs interface not CFs-epoxy interface in oriented CFs/epoxy composites. In addition, the composites also possess a low thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of 23.63 ppm K-1 , and an increased glass transition temperature of 222.8 degrees C at a relatively small CFs loading (13.0 vol%) compared to that of pure epoxy resin. Our fabrication of through-plane assembly of carbon fibers skeleton has broad application prospects in TIMs.","","","","","","","","","","","",272,287,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 15",2020,380,"","","","","","","",122550,"10.1016/j.cej.2019.122550","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2019.122550","","","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000494815600124","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This open source and reduce expenditure strategy is effective in inhibiting tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo, and significantly improves ROS generation efficiency from multi-level for ROS-involved cancer therapies.

While hand-designed features on point clouds have long been proposed in graphics and vision, however, the recent overwhelming success of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image analysis suggests the value of adapting insight from CNN to the point cloud world. Point clouds inherently lack topological information, so designing a model to recover topology can enrich the representation power of point clouds. To this end, we propose a new neural network module dubbed EdgeConv suitable for CNN-based high-level tasks on point clouds, including classification and segmentation. EdgeConv acts on graphs dynamically computed in each layer of the network. It is differentiable and can be plugged into existing architectures. Compared to existing modules operating in extrinsic space or treating each point independently, EdgeConv has several appealing properties: It incorporates local neighborhood information; it can be stacked applied to learn global shape properties; and in multi-layer systems affinity in feature space captures semantic characteristics over potentially long distances in the original embedding.

Industry has responded by trying to identify natural alternatives to synthetic functional ingredients within these products. The focus of this review article is on the replacement of synthetic surfactants with natural emulsifiers, such as amphiphilic proteins, polysaccharides, biosurfactants, phospholipids, and bioparticles. In particular, the physicochemical basis of emulsion formation and stabilization by natural emulsifiers is discussed, and the benefits and limitations of different natural emulsifiers are compared. Surface-active polysaccharides typically have to be used at relatively high levels to produce small droplets, but the droplets formed are highly resistant to environmental changes. Conversely, surface-active proteins are typically utilized at low levels, but the droplets formed are highly sensitive to changes in pH, ionic strength, and temperature. Certain phospholipids are capable of producing small oil droplets during homogenization, but again the droplets formed are highly sensitive to changes in environmental conditions. Biosurfactants (saponins) can be utilized at low levels to form fine oil droplets that remain stable over a range of environmental conditions. Some nature-derived nanoparticles (e.g., cellulose, chitosan, and starch) are effective at stabilizing emulsions containing relatively large oil droplets. Future research is encouraged to identify, isolate, purify, and characterize new types of natural emulsifier, and to test their efficacy in food, cosmetic, detergent, personal care, and other products.

Here, a field-effect transistor (FET) sensor device is fabricated based on 2D phosphorene nanosheets (PNSs). The PNS sensor exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity to NO2 in dry air and the sensitivity is dependent on its thickness. A maximum response is observed for 4.8-nm-thick PNS, with a sensitivity up to 190% at 20 parts per billion (p.p.b.) at room temperature. First-principles calculations combined with the statistical thermodynamics modelling predict that the adsorption density is similar to 10(15) cm(-2) for the 4.8-nm-thick PNS when exposed to 20 p.p.b. NO2 at 300 K. Our sensitivity modelling further suggests that the dependence of sensitivity on the PNS thickness is dictated by the band gap for thinner sheets (<10 nm) and by the effective thickness on gas adsorption for thicker sheets (>10 nm).","","","","","","","","","","","",646,678,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2015,6,"","","","","","","",8632,"10.1038/ncomms9632","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms9632","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000364934700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We report here a systematic investigation of ion exchange in Ti3C2 MXene and its hydration/dehydration behavior. We have investigated the effects of the presence of LiCl during the chemical etching of the MAX phase Ti3AlC2 into MXene Ti3C2Tx (T stands for surface termination) and found that the resulting MXene has Li+ cations in the interlayer space. We successfully exchanged the Li+ cations with K+, Na+, Rb+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ (supported by X-ray photoelectron and energy-dispersive spectroscopy) and found that the exchanged material expands on the unit-cell level in response to changes in humidity, with the nature expansion dependent on the intercalated cation, similar to behavior of clay minerals; stepwise expansions of the basal spacing were observed, with changes consistent with the size of the H2O molecule. Thermogravimetric analysis of the dehydration behavior of these materials shows that the amounts of H2O contained at ambient humidity correlates simply with the hydration enthalpy of the intercalated cation, and that the diffusion of the exiting H2O proceeds with kinetics similar to clays. These results have implications for understanding, controlling, and exploiting structural changes and H2O sorption in MXene films and powders utilized in applications involving ions, such as electrochemical capacitors, sensors, reverse osmosis membranes, or contaminant sorbents.","","","","","","","","","","","",543,577,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 24",2016,28,10,"","","","",3507,3514,"","10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b01275","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemmater.6b01275","","","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000376825700034","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Three different indoor sites were considered: two private apartments and one office. In parallel, the outdoor air was sampled in one site. The deposition rate of the fibers and their concentration in settled dust collected from vacuum cleaner bags were also estimated. Overall, indoor concentrations ranged between 1.0 and 60.0 fibers/m(3). Outdoor concentrations are significantly lower as they range between 0.3 and 1.5 fibers/m(3). The deposition rate of the fibers in indoor environments is between 1586 and 11,130 fibers/day/m(2) leading to an accumulation of fibers in settled dust (190-670 fibers/mg). Regarding fiber type, 67% of the analyzed fibers in indoor environments are made of natural material, primarily cellulosic, while the remaining 33% fibers contain petrochemicals with polypropylene being predominant. Such fibers are observed in marine and continental studies dealing with microplastics. The observed fibers are supposedly too large to be inhaled but the exposure may occur through dust ingestion, particularly for young children. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Herein, we provide a potential mechanistic link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and neuroinflammation in AD progression. Using AD mouse models, we discovered that, during AD progression, the alteration of gut microbiota composition leads to the peripheral accumulation of phenylalanine and isoleucine, which stimulates the differentiation and proliferation of pro-inflammatory T helper 1 (Th1) cells. The brain-infiltrated peripheral Th1 immune cells are associated with the M1 microglia activation, contributing to AD-associated neuroinflammation. Importantly, the elevation of phenylalanine and isoleucine concentrations and the increase of Th1 cell frequency in the blood were also observed in two small independent cohorts of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD. Furthermore, GV-971, a sodium oligomannate that has demonstrated solid and consistent cognition improvement in a phase 3 clinical trial in China, suppresses gut dysbiosis and the associated phenylalanine/isoleucine accumulation, harnesses neuroinflammation and reverses the cognition impairment. Together, our findings highlight the role of gut dysbiosis-promoted neuroinflammation in AD progression and suggest a novel strategy for AD therapy by remodelling the gut microbiota.","","","","","","","","","","","",808,934,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2019,29,10,"","","","",787,803,"","10.1038/s41422-019-0216-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41422-019-0216-x","","","","","","Cell Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000488531600005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The hydrophilic porous ligaments serve as upward water transport channels, pumping the water to the evaporation surface while confining it within the ligaments to avoid oversaturation. These functional features endow the composite aerogel with a high energy efficiency of 88.52% and an evaporation rate of 0.92 kg m(-2) h(-1) at a weak solar irradiance of 0.5-sun, indicating its great potential for practical solar-powered water desalination under natural sunlight.","","","","","","","","","","","",162,164,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2022,32,19,"","","","","","",2111794,"10.1002/adfm.202111794","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adfm.202111794","","FEB 2022","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000751389900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we demonstrate a universal platform that allows for the enrichment and delivery of analytes into the SERS-sensitive sites in both aqueous and nonaqueous fluids, and its subsequent quantitative detection of Rhodamine 6G (R6G) down to similar to 75 fM level (10(-15) mol.L-1). Our platform, termed slippery liquid-infused porous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SLIPSERS), is based on a slippery, omniphobic substrate that enables the complete concentration of analytes and SERS substrates (e.g., Au nanoparticles) within an evaporating liquid droplet. Combining our SLIPSERS platform with a SERS mapping technique, we have systematically quantified the probability, p(c), of detecting R6G molecules at concentrations c ranging from 750 fM (p > 90%) down to 75 aM (10(-18) mol.L-1) levels (p <= 1.4%). The ability to detect analytes down to attomolar level is the lowest limit of detection for any SERS-based detection reported thus far. We have shown that analytes present in liquid, solid, or air phases can be extracted using a suitable liquid solvent and subsequently detected through SLIPSERS. Based on this platform, we have further demonstrated ultrasensitive detection of chemical and biological molecules as well as environmental contaminants within a broad range of common fluids for potential applications related to analytical chemistry, molecular diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and national security.","","","","","","","","","","","",595,627,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 12",2016,113,2,"","","","",268,273,"","10.1073/pnas.1518980113","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1518980113","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000367881500030","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Increasing its stocks can significantly contribute to climate change mitigation and the sustainability of agricul-tural production. Elucidating the mechanisms and drivers of the formation of the main components of SOM, particulate (POM) and mineral associated (MAOM) organic matter, from the decomposition of plant inputs is therefore critical to inform management and policy designed to promote SOM regeneration. We designed a two-tiered laboratory incubation experiment using C-13 and N-15 labeled plant material to investigate the effects of the physical nature (i.e., structural versus soluble) of plant inputs as well as their chemical composition on (1) the pathways of SOM formation, (2) the soil microbial community and chemical diversity, and (3) their interaction on the stabilization efficiency of litter-derived C in POM and MAOM, in a topsoil and a subsoil. We found that: i) the physical nature of the plant input (structural vs soluble) drove both the pathways and efficiencies of SOM formation; ii) POM formation from the decomposition of structural residues increased in efficiency the more decomposed were the residues, and linearly with soil microbial and chemical diversity, the latter only for subsoil; ii) more input-derived C and N were retained in subsoil because of both higher stabilization in MAOM and POM, and slower residue decay. Our results also confirm the importance of direct sorption of soluble inputs to silt-and clay-sized minerals for the formation of MAOM in bulk soils.

However, developing effective activators with outstanding activities and long-term stabilities remains a great challenge in these reactions. Herein, a novel activator is successfully synthesized with single iron atoms anchored on porous N-doped carbon (Fe-N-PC) by a facile chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The single Fe atoms are coordinated with four N atoms according to the XANES, and the Fe-N-4-PC shows enhanced activity for the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade sulfamethoxazole (SMX). The experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the introduction of single Fe atoms will regulate the main active sites from graphite N into Fe-N-4, thus could enhance the stability and tune the PMS activation pathway from non-radical into radical dominated process. In addition, the N atoms connected with single Fe atoms in the Fe-N-4-C structure can be used to enhance the adsorption of organic molecules on these materials. Therefore, the Fe-N-4-C here has dual roles for antibiotics adsorption and PMS activation. The CVD synthesized Fe-N-4-C shows enhanced performance in persulfates based Fenton-like reactions, thus has great potential in the environmental remediation field.","","","","","","","","","","","",166,170,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2021,8,22,"","","","","","",2101824,"10.1002/advs.202101824","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.202101824","","OCT 2021","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000706545400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Its efficiency depends on the interfacial and structural features of the photocatalysts. Herein, the twodimensional ZnIn2S4 nanosheets are grown on the surface of CdS hollow cubes to construct the CdS@ZnIn2S4 hierarchical hollow photocatalysts with chemically bonded interface. The visualized measurements based on spatial-resolved surface photovoltage spectroscopy, combined with other spectroscopic and simulation investigations, clearly disclose that the CdS@ZnIn2S4 hollow cubes constitute a highly efficient direct Z-scheme system. This accounts for the stoichiometric generation of H2 and H2O2 from pure water observed for the CdS@ZnIn2S4 sulfide-only photocatalysts under visible light irradiation with an apparent quantum efficiency of 1.63 % at 400 nm. The present work demonstrates an effective protocol to achieve comprehensive insights into the charge transfer route at semiconductor heterojunction, and offers a viable way for constructing efficient sulfide-only photocatalysts for driving water splitting reaction.","","","","","","","","","","","",193,196,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 15",2021,293,"","","","","","","",120213,"10.1016/j.apcatb.2021.120213","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apcatb.2021.120213","","APR 2021","","","","Chemistry; Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000663202100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The Pt atoms are initially deposited on the vertices of a decahedral seed, followed by surface diffusion to other regions along the edges/ridges and then across the faces. Different from the coating of a Pd icosahedral seed, the Pt atoms prefer to stay at the vertices and edges/ridges of a decahedral seed even when the deposition is conducted at 200 degrees C, naturally generating a core shell structure covered by concave facets. The nonuniformity in the Pt coating can be attributed to the presence of twin boundaries at the vertices, as well as the {100} facets and twin defects along the edges/ridges of a decahedron, effectively trapping the Pt adatoms at these high-energy sites. As compared to a commercial Pt/C catalyst, the Pd@Pt concave decahedra show substantial enhancement in both catalytic activity and durability toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). For the concave decahedra with 29.6% Pt by weight, their specific (1.66 mA/cm(pt)(2)) and mass (1.60 A/mg/0 ORR activities are enhanced by 4.4 and 6.6 times relative to those of the Pt/C catalyst (0.36 mA/cm(pt)(2) and 0.32 A/mgpt, respectively).

We used a lateral-contact solar cell with selective electron-and hole-collecting contacts and observed that charge extraction for photoexcitation >50 micrometers away from the contacts arose from repeated recycling between photons and electron-hole pairs.

Pronounced ion trapping occurs when x exceeds similar to 0.65 in LixWO3 during ion insertion. We find two main kinds of Li+-ion-trapping site (intermediate and deep) in WO3, where the intermediate ones are most prevalent.

Storage of latent heat using organic phase change materials (PCMs) offers greater energy storage density over a marginal melting and freezing temperature difference in comparison to inorganic materials. These favorable characteristics of organic PCMs make them suitable in a wide range of applications. These materials and their eutectic mixtures have been successfully tested and implemented in many domestic and commercial applications such as, building, electronic devices, refrigeration and air-conditioning, solar air/water heating, textiles, automobiles, food, and space industries. This review focuses on three aspects: the materials, encapsulation and applications of organic PCMs, and provides an insight on the recent developments in applications of these materials. Organic PCMs have inherent characteristic of low thermal conductivity (0.15-0.35 W/m K), hence, a larger surface area is required to enhance the heat transfer rate. Therefore, attention is also given to the thermal conductivity enhancement of the materials, which helps to keep the area of the system to a minimum. Besides, various available techniques for material characterization have also been discussed. It has been found that a wide range of the applications of organic PCMs in buildings and other low and medium temperature solar energy applications are in abundant use but these materials are not yet popular among space applications and virtual data storage media. In addition, it has also been observed that because of the low melting point of organic PCMs, they have not yet been explored for high temperature applications such as in power plants.

The Fe0.6Mn0.6Co0.6Ni0.6Cr0.6O4 (FMCNC) high-entropy spinel oxide has been successfully prepared, and the in situ chemical stability test demonstrates that the FMCNC material has good stability against CO2. The first-principles calculation indicates that the high-entropy structure enhances the properties of the FMCNC material that surpasses their individual components, leading to lower O-2 adsorption energy for FMCNC than that for the individual components. The H-SOFC using the FMCNC cathode reaches an encouraging peak power density (PPD) of 1052 mW.cm(-2) at 700 degrees C, which is higher than those of the H-SOFCs reported recently. Additional comparison was made between the high-entropy FMCNC cathode and the traditional Mn1.6Cu1.4O4 (MCO) spinel cathode without the high-entropy structure, revealing that the formation of the high-entropy material allows the enhanced protonation ability as well as the movement of the O p-band center closer to the Fermi level, thus improving the cathode catalytic activity. As a result, the high-entropy FMCNC has a much-decreased polarization resistance of 0.057 Omega.cm(2) at 700 degrees C, which is half of that for the traditional MCO spinel cathode without the high-entropy design. The excellent performance of the FMCNC cell indicates that the high-entropy design makes a new life for the spinel oxide as the cathode for H-SOFCs, offering a novel and promising route for the development of high-performance materials for H-SOFCs.","","","","","","","","","","","",159,167,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2022,11,5,"","","","",794,804,"","10.1007/s40145-022-0573-7","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40145-022-0573-7","","","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000783826800009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The formed Schottky barrier inhibits the backflow of electrons and boosts the charge transfer and separation. The photocatalytic activity of Bi2S3/Ti3C2Tx intensively improved the amount of reactive oxygen species under 808nm near-infrared radiation.

Photocatalytic hydrogen production has been considered a promising approach to obtain green hydrogen energy. Crystalline porous materials have arisen as key photocatalysts for efficient hydrogen production. Here, we report a strategy to in situ photodeposit platinum clusters as cocatalyst on a covalent organic framework, which makes it an efficient photocatalyst for light-driven hydrogen evolution. Periodically dispersed adsorption sites of platinum species are constructed by introducing adjacent hydroxyl group and imine-N in the region of the covalent organic framework structural unit where photogenerated electrons converge, leading to the in situ reduction of the adsorbed platinum species into metal clusters by photogenerated electrons. The widespread platinum clusters on the covalent organic framework expose large active surface and greatly facilitate the electron transfer, finally contributing to a high photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 42432 mu mol g(-1) h(-1) at 1 wt% platinum loading.

ROS' intrinsic inability to distinguish bacteria from mammalian cells, however, deprives nanozymes of the selectivity necessary for an ideal antimicrobial. Here we report that nanozymes that generate surface-bound ROS selectively kill bacteria over mammalian cells. This result is robust across three distinct nanozymes that universally generate surface-bound ROS, with an oxidase-like silver-palladium bimetallic alloy nanocage, AgPd0.38, being the lead model. The selectivity is attributable to both the surface-bound nature of ROS these nanozymes generate and an unexpected antidote role of endocytosis. Though surface-bound, the ROS on AgPd0.38 efficiently eliminated antibiotic-resistant bacteria and effectively delayed the onset of bacterial resistance emergence. When used as coating additives, AgPd0.38 enabled an inert substrate to inhibit biofilm formation and suppress infection-related immune responses in mouse models. This work opens an avenue toward biocompatible nanozymes and may have implication in our fight against antimicrobial resistance. Nanozymes have been used for antibacterial applications but have potential toxicity to mammalian cells. Here the authors suggest that nanozymes that generate surface bound reactive oxygen species disrupt bacterial cell walls but not mammalian cells walls due to the different particle uptake mechanisms.","","","","","","","","","","","",326,330,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 2",2021,12,1,"","","","","","",745,"10.1038/s41467-021-20965-3","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-20965-3","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000617063000015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Experimental realization remains challenging because of the requirement of a layered polar crystal. Here, we demonstrate a rational design approach to engineering 2D ferroelectrics from a nonferroelectric parent compound by using van der Waals assembly. Parallel-stacked bilayer boron nitride exhibits out-of-plane electric polarization that reverses depending on the stacking order. The polarization switching is probed through the resistance of an adjacently stacked graphene sheet. Twisting the boron nitride sheets by a small angle changes the dynamics of switching because of the formation of moire ferroelectricity with staggered polarization. The ferroelectricity persists to room temperature while keeping the high mobility of graphene, paving the way for potential ultrathin nonvolatile memory applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",544,577,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 25",2021,372,6549,"","","","",1458,"+","","10.1126/science.abd3230","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.abd3230","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000665860000051","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this work, we report the self-templated fabrication of hierarchical manganese-cobalt phosphide (Mn-Co phosphide) yolk-shell spheres using highly uniform cobalt glycerate spheres as sacrificial templates. Through a simple exchange reaction with the manganese precursor solution at room temperature, these cobalt glycerate spheres are readily converted to hierarchical MnCo LDH yolk-shell spheres, which can be further phosphidized at 350 degrees C under inert atmosphere to generate hierarchical Mn-Co phosphide with distinct yolk-shell morphology. When tested as an electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the hierarchical Mn-Co phosphide yolk-shell spheres exhibit an overpotential of 330 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) and a Tafel slope of 59.0 mV dec(-1), which are higher than those of Mn-Co oxide yolk-shell spheres (480 mV and 113 mV dec(-1)) and hierarchical cobalt phosphide spheres (410 mV and 61.3 mV dec(-1)). Post-OER analysis by XPS reveals that the high activity of the hierarchical Mn-Co phosphide yolk-shell catalyst originates from the existence of Mn4+/Mn3+ and Co2+/Co3+ redox couples and the formation of active metal oxyhydroxide species on its surface. The proposed self-sacrificial templating strategy will provide useful guidance for future construction of hollow inorganic metal nanostructures with yolk-shell morphology for energy storage and conversion applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",188,192,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 1",2021,405,"","","","","","","",126580,"10.1016/j.cej.2020.126580","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2020.126580","","","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000621234200003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While IBD has been associated with dramatic changes in the gut microbiota, changes in the gut metabolome-the molecular interface between host and microbiota-are less well understood. To address this gap, we performed untargeted metabolomic and shotgun metagenomic profiling of cross-sectional stool samples from discovery (n =155) and validation (n = 65) cohorts of CD, UC and non-IBD control patients. Metabolomic and metagenomic profiles were broadly correlated with faecal calprotectin levels (a measure of gut inflammation). Across >8,000 measured metabolite features, we identified chemicals and chemical classes that were differentially abundant in IBD, including enrichments for sphingolipids and bile acids, and depletions for triacylglycerols and tetrapyrroles. While > 50% of differentially abundant metabolite features were uncharacterized, many could be assigned putative roles through metabolomic 'guilt by association' (covariation with known metabolites). Differentially abundant species and functions from the metagenomic profiles reflected adaptation to oxidative stress in the IBD gut, and were individually consistent with previous findings. Integrating these data, however, we identified 122 robust associations between differentially abundant species and well-characterized differentially abundant metabolites, indicating possible mechanistic relationships that are perturbed in IBD. Finally, we found that metabolome- and metagenome-based classifiers of IBD status were highly accurate and, like the vast majority of individual trends, generalized well to the independent validation cohort. Our findings thus provide an improved understanding of perturbations of the microbiome-metabolome interface in IBD, including identification of many potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.","","","","","","","","","","","",1206,1339,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2019,4,2,"","","","",293,305,"","10.1038/s41564-018-0306-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41564-018-0306-4","","","","","","Microbiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000456531600013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To overcome this toxicity, we demonstrate that anchoring IL-2 and anti-CD137 on the surface of liposomes allows these immune agonists to rapidly accumulate in tumors while lowering systemic exposure. In multiple tumor models, immunoliposome delivery achieves anti-tumor activity equivalent to free IL-2/anti-CD137 but with the complete absence of systemic toxicity. Immunoliposomes stimulated tumor infiltration by cytotoxic lymphocytes, cytokine production, and granzyme expression, demonstrating equivalent immunostimulatory effects to the free drugs in the local tumor microenvironment.

Tumour-infiltrating immune cells also rely on glucose, and impaired immune cell metabolism in the tumour microenvironment (TME) contributes to immune evasion by tumour cells(2-4). However, whether the metabolism of immune cells is dysregulated in the TME by cell-intrinsic programs or by competition with cancer cells for limited nutrients remains unclear. Here we used PETtracers to measure the access to and uptake of glucose and glutamine by specific cell subsets in the TME. Notably, myeloid cells had the greatest capacity to take up intratumoral glucose, followed by T cells and cancer cells, across a range of cancer models. By contrast, cancer cells showed the highest uptake of glutamine. This distinct nutrient partitioning was programmed in a cell-intrinsic manner through mTORC1 signalling and the expression of genes related to the metabolism of glucose and glutamine. Inhibiting glutamine uptake enhanced glucose uptake acrosstumour-resident cell types, showing that glutamine metabolism suppresses glucose uptake without glucose being a limiting factor in the TME. Thus, cell-intrinsic programs drive the preferential acquisition of glucose and glutamine by immune and cancer cells, respectively. Cell-selective partitioning of these nutrients could be exploited to develop therapies and imaging strategies to enhance or monitor the metabolic programs and activities of specific cell populations in the TME.","","","","","","","","","","","",657,712,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 13",2021,593,7858,"","","","",282,"+","","10.1038/s41586-021-03442-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-021-03442-1","","APR 2021","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000637701600005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

For such applications, it is very challenging but vitally important for a photocatalyst to simultaneously enhance the visible-light absorption and suppress photogenerated electron-hole recombination, while also to maintain high stability and recyclability. Herein, a metal-organic framework (MOF)-templated strategy has been developed to prepare heterostructured nanocatalysts with superior photocatalytic HER activity. Very uniquely, the synthesized photocatalytic materials can be recycled easily after use to restore the initial photocatalytic activity. It is shown that by controlling the calcination temperature and time with MOF-5 as a host and guest thioacetamide as a sulfur source, the chemical compositions of the formed heterojunctions of ZnO/ZnS can be tuned to further enhance the visible-light absorption and photocatalytic activity. The nanoscale heterojunction ZnO/ZnS structural feature serves to reduce the average free path of charge carriers and improve the charge separation efficiency, thus leading to significantly enhanced HER activity under visible-light irradiation (lambda > 420 nm) with high stability and recyclability without any cocatalyst.","","","","","","","","","","","",241,244,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2018,5,4,"","","","","","",1700590,"10.1002/advs.201700590","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.201700590","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000430460200018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The high density of crosslinks that gives thermosets their useful properties (for example, chemical and thermal resistance and tensile strength) comes at the expense of degradability and recyclability. Here, using the industrial thermoset polydicyclopentadiene as a model system, we show that when a small number of cleavable bonds are selectively installed within the strands of thermosets using a comonomer additive in otherwise traditional curing workflows, the resulting materials can display the same mechanical properties as the native material, but they can undergo triggered, mild degradation to yield soluble, recyclable products of controlled size and functionality. By contrast, installation of cleavable crosslinks, even at much higher loadings, does not produce degradable materials. These findings reveal that optimization of the cleavable bond location can be used as a design principle to achieve controlled thermoset degradation. Moreover, we introduce a class of recyclable thermosets poised for rapid deployment.

In a mouse model of pulmonary metastatic melanoma and in mice bearing subcutaneous colon tumours, the antigen-bearing OMVs inhibited tumour growth and protected the animals against tumour re-challenge.

Various forms of oxidized copper have been demonstrated as electrocatalysts that still require large overpotentials. Here, we show that an ensemble of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) enables selective formation of C-2-C-3 products at low overpotentials. Densely packed Cu NP ensembles underwent structural transformation during electrolysis into electrocatalytically active cube-like particles intermixed with smaller nanoparticles. Ethylene, ethanol, and n-propanol are the major C-2-C-3 products with onset potential at -0.53 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE) and C-2-C-3 faradaic efficiency (FE) reaching 50% at only -0.75 V. Thus, the catalyst exhibits selective generation of C-2-C-3 hydrocarbons and oxygenates at considerably lowered overpotentials in neutral pH aqueous media. In addition, this approach suggests new opportunities in realizing multicarbon product formation from CO2, where the majority of efforts has been to use oxidized copper-based materials. Robust catalytic performance is demonstrated by 10 h of stable operation with C-2-C-3 current density 10 mA/cm(2) (at -0.75 V), rendering it attractive for solar-to-fuel applications. Tafel analysis suggests reductive CO coupling as a rate determining step for C-2 products, while n-propanol (C-3) production seems to have a discrete pathway.","","","","","","","","","","","",515,565,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 3",2017,114,40,"","","","",10560,10565,"","10.1073/pnas.1711493114","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1711493114","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000412130500043","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

An apparent quantum efficiency of similar to 12.3% is achieved for overall neutral (pH similar to 7.0) water splitting under visible light illumination (400-475 nm).

This thermal-mechanical trade-off is limiting for wearable computing, soft robotics, and other emerging applications that require materials with both high thermal conductivity and low mechanical stiffness. Here, we overcome this constraint with an electrically insulating composite that exhibits an unprecedented combination of metal-like thermal conductivity, an elastic compliance similar to soft biological tissue (Young's modulus < 100 kPa), and the capability to undergo extreme deformations (>600% strain). By incorporating liquid metal (LM) microdroplets into a soft elastomer, we achieve a similar to 25x increase in thermal conductivity (4.7 +/- 0.2W.m(-1).K-1) over the base polymer (0.20 +/- 0.01W.m(-1) .K-1) under stress-free conditions and a similar to 50x increase (9.8 +/- 0.8 W.m(-1) K-1) when strained. This exceptional combination of thermal and mechanical properties is enabled by a unique thermal-mechanical coupling that exploits the deformability of the LM inclusions to create thermally conductive pathways in situ. Moreover, these materials offer possibilities for passive heat exchange in stretchable electronics and bioinspired robotics, which we demonstrate through the rapid heat dissipation of an elastomer-mounted extreme high-power LED lamp and a swimming soft robot.","","","","","","","","","","","",520,574,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 28",2017,114,9,"","","","",2143,2148,"","10.1073/pnas.1616377114","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1616377114","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000395101200035","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Among products from CO2RR, multicarbon chemicals, such as ethylene and ethanol with high energy density, are more valuable. However, the selectivity and reaction rate of C-2 production are unsatisfactory due to the sluggish thermodynamics and kinetics of C-C coupling. The electric field and thermal field have been studied and utilized to promote catalytic reactions, as they can regulate the thermodynamic and kinetic barriers of reactions. Either raising the potential or heating the electrolyte can enhance C-C coupling, but these come at the cost of increasing side reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction. Here, we present a generic strategy to enhance the local electric field and temperature simultaneously and dramatically improve the electric-thermal synergy desired in electrocatalysis. A conformal coating of similar to 5 nm of polytetrafluoroethylene significantly improves the catalytic ability of copper nanoneedles (similar to 7-fold electric field and similar to 40 K temperature enhancement at the tips compared with bare copper nanoneedles experimentally), resulting in an improved C-2 Faradaic efficiency of over 86% at a partial current density of more than 250 mA cm(-2) and a record-high C-2 turnover frequency of 11.5 +/- 0.3 s(-1) Cu site(-1). Combined with its low cost and scalability, the electric-thermal strategy for a state-of-the-art catalyst not only offers new insight into improving activity and selectivity of value-added C-2 products as we demonstrated but also inspires advances in efficiency and/or selectivity of other valuable electro-/photocatalysis such as hydrogen evolution, nitrogen reduction, and hydrogen peroxide electrosynthesis.","","","","","","","","","","","",212,219,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 23",2022,144,7,"","","","",3039,3049,"","10.1021/jacs.1c11253","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.1c11253","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000765779100024","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Increased surface area, lower thickness, and a hollow ordered structure are identified as the key contributors to the water permeance of 105 L m(2)center dot h(-1)center dot bar(-1) with a Na2SO4 rejection of 99.4% and a Cl-/SO42- selectivity of 130, which is superior to state-of-the-art NF membranes. Our approach for tuning the membrane microstructure enables the development of ultra-permeability and excellent selectivity for ion-ion separation, water purification, desalination, and organics removal. Membranes with precise ion-ion separation are critical for sustainable water treatment. Here, authors demonstrated controlled construction of a nanofiltration membrane with fast permeation and high Cl-/SO42- selectivity by simultaneous spatial and temporal control of interfacial polymerization.","","","","","","","","","","","",128,131,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 27",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",1112,"10.1038/s41467-023-36848-8","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-36848-8","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000942107800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we simultaneously load HRP and its substrate, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), into liposomal nanoparticles, obtaining a Lipo@ HRP& ABTS optical nanoprobe for in vivo H2O2-responsive chromogenic assay with great specificity and sensitivity. In the presence of H2O2, colorless ABTS would be converted by HRP into the oxidized form with strong near-infrared (NIR) absorbance, enabling photoacoustic detection of H2O2 down to submicromolar concentrations. Using Lipo@ HRP& ABTS as an H2O2-responsive nanoprobe, we could accurately detect the inflammation processes induced by LPS or bacterial infection in which H2O2 is generated. Meanwhile, upon systemic administration of this nanoprobe we realize in vivo photoacoustic imaging of small s. c. tumors (similar to 2 mm in size) as well as orthotopic brain gliomas, by detecting H2O2 produced by tumor cells. Interestingly, local injection of Lipo@ HRP& ABTS further enables differentiation of metastatic lymph nodes from those nonmetastatic ones, based on their difference in H2O2 contents. Moreover, using the H2O2-dependent strong NIR absorbance of Lipo@ HRP& ABTS, tumorspecific photothermal therapy is also achieved. This work thus develops a sensitive H2O2-responsive optical nanoprobe useful not only for in vivo detection of inflammation but also for tumor-specific theranostic applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",459,471,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 23",2017,114,21,"","","","",5343,5348,"","10.1073/pnas.1701976114","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1701976114","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000401797800033","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, these scatterers are only effective at the extremes of the phonon spectrum. Recently, it has been demonstrated that dislocations are effective at scattering the remaining mid-frequency phonons as well. In this work, by varying the concentration of Na in Pb0.97Eu0.03Te, it has been determined that the dominant microstructural features are point defects, lattice dislocations, and nanostructure interfaces. This study reveals that dense lattice dislocations (approximate to 4 x 10(12) cm(-2)) are particularly effective at reducing kappa(L). When the dislocation concentration is maximized, one of the lowest kappa(L) values reported for PbTe is achieved. Furthermore, due to the band convergence of the alloyed 3% mol. EuTe the electronic performance is enhanced, and a high thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, of approximate to 2.2 is achieved. This work not only demonstrates the effectiveness of dense lattice dislocations as a means of lowering kappa(L), but also the importance of engineering both thermal and electronic transport simultaneously when designing high-performance thermoelectrics.","","","","","","","","","","","",483,506,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 20",2017,29,23,"","","","","","",1606768,"10.1002/adma.201606768","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.201606768","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000403280600009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, authors report an underwater wireless communication approach based on the triboelectric nanogenerator, which provides a self-powered communication system in complex underwater environments. Underwater communication is a critical and challenging issue, on account of the complex underwater environment. This study introduces an underwater wireless communication approach via Maxwell's displacement current generated by a triboelectric nanogenerator. Underwater electric field can be generated through a wire connected to a triboelectric nanogenerator, while current signal can be inducted in an underwater receiver certain distance away. The received current signals are basically immune to disturbances from salinity, turbidity and submerged obstacles. Even after passing through a 100 m long spiral water pipe, the electric signals are not distorted in waveform. By modulating and demodulating the current signals generated by a sound driven triboelectric nanogenerator, texts and images can be transmitted in a water tank at 16 bits/s. An underwater lighting system is operated by the triboelectric nanogenerator-based voice-activated controller wirelessly. This triboelectric nanogenerator-based approach can form the basis for an alternative wireless communication in complex underwater environments.","","","","","","","","","","","",122,132,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 9",2022,13,1,"","","","","","",3325,"10.1038/s41467-022-31042-8","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-31042-8","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000809423400026","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While MXenes have been identified as promising capacitor-type electrode materials for alternative zinc-ion hybrid micro-supercapacitors (ZHMSCs) with higher energy density, their tightly spaced layered structure renders multivalent zinc-ions with large radii intercalation inefficient. Herein, through insertion of 1D core-shell conductive BC@PPy nanofibers between MXene nanosheets, an interlayer structure engineering technique for MXene/BC@PPy capacitor-type electrodes towards ZHMSCs is presented. Owing to simultaneously achieving two objectives: (i) widening the interlayer space and (ii) providing conductive connections between the loose MXene layers, enabled by the conductive BC@PPy nanospacer, the approach effectively enhances both ion and electron transport within the layered MXene structure, significantly increasing the areal capacitance of the MXene/BC@PPy film electrode to 388 mF cm(-2), which is a 10-fold improvement from the pure MXene film electrode. Pairing with CNTs/MnO2 battery-type electrodes, the obtained ZHMSCs exhibit an areal energy density up to 145.4 mu Wh cm(-2) with an outstanding 95.8% capacity retention after 25000 cycles, which is the highest among recently reported MXene-based MSCs and approaches the level of micro-batteries.

Also, during recent years the increasing use of new materials such as nanomaterials (NMs) in industrial and household applications has contributed to the complexity of waste mixtures in aquatic systems. The current effects and the synergism and antagonisms of mixtures of microplastics (MPLs), NMs and organic compounds on the environment and in human health have, to date, not been well understood but instead they are a cause for general concern. The aim of this work is to contribute to a better understanding of the cytotoxicity of NMs and microplastics/ nanoplastics (MPLs/NPLs), at cell level in terms of oxidative stress (evaluating Reactive Oxygen Species effect) and cell viability. Firstly, the individual cytotoxicity of metal nanoparticles (NPs) (AgNPs and AuNPs), of metal oxide NPs (ZrO(2)NPs, CeO(2)NPs, TiO(2)NPs, and Al(2)O(3)NPs), carbon nanomaterials (C(50)ofullerene, graphene), and MPLs of polyethylene (PE) and polystyrene (PS) has been evaluated in vitro. Two different cellular lines T98G and HeLa, cerebral and epithelial human cells, respectively, were employed. The cells were exposed during 24-48 h to different levels of contaminants, from 10 ng/mL to 10 mu g/mL, under the same conditions. Secondly, the synergistic and antagonistic relationships between fullerenes and other organic contaminants, including an organophosphate insecticide (malathion), a surfactant (sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate) and a plasticiser (diethyl phthalate) were assessed. The obtained results confirm that oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms of cytotoxicity at cell level, as has been observed for both cell lines and contributes to the current knowledge of the effects of NMs and MPLs-NPLs.","","","","","","","","","","","",521,580,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2017,159,"","","","","",579,587,"","10.1016/j.envres.2017.08.043","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2017.08.043","","","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Public, Environmental & Occupational Health","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000413280500065","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This susceptibility is many orders of magnitude larger than any second-order nonlinear response in optical metasurfaces measured so far(12-15). The proposed structures can act as ultrathin highly nonlinear optical elements that enable efficient frequency mixing with relaxed phase-matching conditions, ideal for realizing broadband frequency up-and down-conversions, phase conjugation and all-optical control and tunability over a surface.","","","","","","","","","","","",566,633,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 3",2014,511,7507,"","","","",65,"U389","","10.1038/nature13455","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13455","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000338199400036","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, current design strategies can hardly endow a multifunctional SEI formation due to the non-uniform, low flexible film formation and limited capability to alter Li nucleation/growth orientation, which results in unconstrained dendrite growth and short cycling stability. Herein, we present a novel strategy to employ electrolyte additives containing catechol and acrylic groups to construct a stable multifunctional SEI by in-situ anionic polymerization. This self-smoothing and robust SEI offers multiple sites for Li adsorption and steric repulsion to constrain nucleation/growth process, leading to homogenized Li nanosphere formation. This isotropic nanosphere offers non-preferred Li growth orientation, rendering uniform Li deposition to achieve a dendrite-free anode. Attributed to these superiorities, a remarkable cycling performance can be obtained, i.e., high current density up to 10mAcm(-2), ultra-long cycle life over 8500 hrs operation, high cumulative capacity over 4.25 Ah cm(-2) and stable cycling under 60 degrees C. A prolonged lifespan can also be achieved in Li-S and Li-LiFePO4 cells under lean electrolyte content, low N/P ratio or high temperature conditions. This facile strategy also promotes the practical application of LMB and enlightens the SEI design in related fields. Stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) is heavily investigated due to its role in improving lithium metal batteries.

The measurable, physical effects of these degradation mechanisms on the cell can be summarised in terms of three degradation modes, namely loss of lithium inventory, loss of active positive electrode material and loss of active negative electrode material. The different degradation modes are assumed to have unique and measurable effects on the open circuit voltage (OCV) of Li-ion cells and electrodes. The presumptive nature and extent of these effects has so far been based on logical arguments rather than experimental proof. This work presents, for the first time, experimental evidence supporting the widely reported degradation modes by means of tests conducted on coin cells, engineered to include different, known amounts of lithium inventory and active electrode material. Moreover, the general theory behind the effects of degradation modes on the OCV of cells and electrodes is refined and a diagnostic algorithm is devised, which allows the identification and quantification of the nature and extent of each degradation mode in Li-ion cells at any point in their service lives, by fitting the cells' OCV.

However, shuttling and sluggish conversion of polysulfides to solid lithium sulfides limit the full utilization of active materials. Physical/chemical confinement is useful for anchoring polysulfides, but not effective for utilizing the blocked intermediates. Here, we employ black phosphorus quantum dots as electrocatalysts to overcome these issues. Both the experimental and theoretical results reveal that black phosphorus quantum dots effectively adsorb and catalyze polysulfide conversion. The activity is attributed to the numerous catalytically active sites on the edges of the quantum dots. In the presence of a small amount of black phosphorus quantum dots, the porous carbon/sulfur cathodes exhibit rapid reaction kinetics and no shuttling of polysulfides, enabling a low capacity fading rate (0.027% per cycle over 1000 cycles) and high areal capacities. Our findings demonstrate application of a metal-free quantum dot catalyst for high energy rechargeable batteries.","","","","","","","","","","","",343,359,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 9",2018,9,"","","","","","","",4164,"10.1038/s41467-018-06629-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-06629-9","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000446800200002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

During solidification certain alloys suffer from thermally induced micro-cracking which cannot be eliminated by process optimisation. An alloy's crack susceptibility may reduce by increasing its Thermal Shock Resistance (TSR), potentially achieved through an increase in tensile strength. This hypothesis is investigated with Hastelloy X, a common nickel-base superalloy of known high crack susceptibility when processing SLM. It is demonstrated that through consideration of the imposed rapid solidification conditions, Hastelloy X can be made to form a supersaturated solid solution in the as deposited state. The fundamental solid solution strengthening (SSS) effect is exploited to generate an increase in lattice stress, by increasing the most potent SSS elements present within the alloy, whilst maintaining specification composition. The modified alloy displayed a 65% reduction in cracking and an increase in elevated temperature tensile strength, lending support to the initial hypothesis and identifying a possible approach for developing further SLM crack resistant versions of well-known alloy compositions.

The superelasticity and high strength, together with good electrical conductivity, of the graphene sponge imparted the graphene/polymer hybrid films with fast recoverable shape-memory properties. Various droplets could slip on the compressed film with a lubricant-covered surface, but the droplets would be pinned when the shape-memory graphene film rebounded due to electrical stimulation, which caused the penetration of the infused lubricant into the pores and the exposure of rough topography film surfaces.

Therefore, a biocompatible phototherapeutic system is developed composed of MoS2, IR780 photosensitizer, and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-cysteine (RGDC) to safely eradicate biofilms on titanium implants within 20 min. The magnetron-sputtered MoS2 film possesses excellent photothermal properties, and IR780 can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR, lambda = 700-1100 nm) light. Consequently, the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), assisted by glutathione oxidation accelerated by NIR light, can provide synergistic and rapid killing of bacteria, i.e., 98.99 +/- 0.42% eradication ratio against a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vivo within 20 min, which is much greater than that of PTT or PDT alone. With the assistance of ROS, the permeability of damaged bacterial membranes increases, and the damaged bacterial membranes become more sensitive to heat, thus accelerating the leakage of proteins from the bacteria.

Here we introduce Cu species into polymeric carbon nitride (PCN), accomplishing photocatalytic anaerobic methane conversion for the first time with an ethanol productivity of 106 mu mol g(cat)(-1) h(-1). Cu modified PCN could manage generation and in situ decomposition of H2O2 to produce center dot OH, of which Cu species are also active sites for methane adsorption and activation. These features avoid excess center dot OH for overoxidation and facilitate methane conversion. Moreover, a hypothetic mechanism through a methane-methanol-ethanol pathway is proposed, emphasizing the synergy of Cu species and the adjacent C atom in PCN for obtaining C-2 product.","","","","","","","","","","","",245,265,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 31",2019,10,"","","","","","","",506,"10.1038/s41467-019-08454-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-08454-0","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000457290300002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It is a promising strategy to couple highly active precious metals with transition metals as efficient electrocatalysts, which can not only effectively reduce the cost of the preparation procedure, but also greatly improve the performance of catalysts through a synergistic effect. Herein, Ru and Ni nanoparticles embedded within nitrogen-doped carbon nanofibers (RuNi-NCNFs) are synthesized via a simple electrospinning technology with a subsequent carbonization process. The as-formed RuNi-NCNFs represent excellent Pt-like electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both alkaline and acidic conditions. Furthermore, the RuNi-NCNFs also exhibit an outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity with an overpotential of 290 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in alkaline electrolyte. Strikingly, owing to both the HER and OER performance, an electrolyzer with RuNi-NCNFs as both the anode and cathode catalysts requires only a cell voltage of 1.564 V to drive a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in an alkaline medium, which is lower than the benchmark of Pt/C||RuO2 electrodes. This study opens a novel avenue toward the exploration of high efficient but low-cost electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.","","","","","","","","","","","",213,220,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2020,7,2,"","","","","","",1901833,"10.1002/advs.201901833","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.201901833","","NOV 2019","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000496829800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Although the storage of gaseous hydrogen in salt caverns already is used on a full industrial scale, the approach is not applicable in all regions due to varying geological conditions. Therefore, other storage methods are necessary. In this article, options for the large-scale storage of hydrogen are reviewed and compared based on fundamental thermodynamic and engineering aspects. The application of certain storage technologies, such as liquid hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, and dibenzyltoluene, is found to be advantageous in terms of storage density, cost of storage, and safety. The variable costs for these high-density storage technologies are largely associated with a high electricity demand for the storage process or with a high heat demand for the hydrogen release process. If hydrogen is produced via electrolysis and stored during times of low electricity prices in an industrial setting, these variable costs may be tolerable. (C) 2019 The Authors.

Gender differences in interest in computer science, engineering, and physics appear even before college. Why are women represented in some science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields more than others? We conduct a critical review of the most commonly cited factors explaining gender disparities in STEM participation and investigate whether these factors explain differential gender participation across STEM fields. Math performance and discrimination influence who enters STEM, but there is little evidence to date that these factors explain why women's underrepresentation is relatively worse in some STEM fields. We introduce a model with three overarching factors to explain the larger gender gaps in participation in computer science, engineering, and physics than in biology, chemistry, and mathematics: (a) masculine cultures that signal a lower sense of belonging to women than men, (b) a lack of sufficient early experience with computer science, engineering, and physics, and (c) gender gaps in self-efficacy. Efforts to increase women's participation in computer science, engineering, and physics may benefit from changing masculine cultures and providing students with early experiences that signal equally to both girls and boys that they belong and can succeed in these fields.","","","","","","","","","","","",697,905,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2017,143,1,"","","","",1,35,"","10.1037/bul0000052","http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/bul0000052","","","","","","Psychology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000391571200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Advancements in the synthesis of sequential block copolymers offer a variety of tools to replicate natural design principles with tailor-made soft matter for the precise spatial separation of functionalities on multiple length scales. Here, we review recent trends in the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers to multicompartment nanostructures (MCNs) under (semi-)dilute conditions, with special emphasis on ABC triblock terpolymers. The intrinsic immiscibility of connected blocks induces short-range repulsion into discrete nano-domains stabilized by a third, soluble block or molecular additive. Polymer blocks can be synthesized from an arsenal of functional monomers directing self-assembly through packing frustration or response to various fields. The mobility in solution further allows the manipulation of self-assembly processes into specific directions by clever choice of environmental conditions. This review focuses on practical concepts that direct self-assembly into predictable nanostructures, while narrowing particle dispersity with respect to size, shape and internal morphology. The growing understanding of underlying self-assembly mechanisms expands the number of experimental concepts providing the means to target and manipulate progressively complex superstructures.","","","","","","","","","","","",283,301,"","","","","","","","","","","",2015,7,28,"","","","",11841,11876,"","10.1039/c5nr02448j","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c5nr02448j","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000357805700003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While these pollutants may enter aquatic environments via wastewater treatment facilities, the abundance of microplastics in these matrices has not been investigated. Although efficient methods for the analysis of microplastics in sediment samples and marine organisms have been published, no methods have been developed for detecting these pollutants within organic-rich wastewater samples. In addition, there is no standardized method for analyzing microplastics isolated from environmental samples. In many cases, part of the identification protocol relies on visual selection before analysis, which is open to bias. In order, to address this, a new method for the analysis of microplastics in Wastewater was developed. A pretreatment step using 30% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was employed to remove biogenic material, and focal plane array (FPA)-based reflectance Micro-Fourier-transform (FT-IR) imaging was shown to successfully image and identify different microplastic types (polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon-6, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene). Microplastic-spiked wastewater samples were used to validate the methodology, resulting in a robust protocol which was nonselective and reproducible (the overall success identification rate was 98.33%). The use of FPA-based micro-FT-IR spectroscopy also provides a considerable reduction in analysis time compared with previous methods, since samples that could take several days to be mapped using a single-element detector can now be imaged in less than 9 h (circular filter with a diameter of 47 mm). This method for identifying and quantifying microplastics in wastewater is likely to provide an essential tool for further research into the pathways by which microplastics enter the environment.","","","","","","","","","","","",460,522,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 16",2015,87,12,"","","","",6032,6040,"","10.1021/acs.analchem.5b00495","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.analchem.5b00495","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000356755100026","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The strong interaction force between spin-coated PVA and 2D material ensures the mechanical strain can be effectively transferred with negligible slippage or decoupling.

The in situ GIXAS reveals that the surface oxide layer is fully reduced to metallic Cu before the onset potential for CO2RR, and the catalyst maintains the metallic state across the potentials relevant to the CO2RR. We also find a preferential surface reconstruction of the polycrystalline Cu surface toward (100) facets in the presence of CO2. Quantitative analysis of the reconstruction profiles reveals that the degree of reconstruction increases with increasingly negative applied potentials, and it persists when the applied potential returns to more positive values. These findings show that the surface of Cu electrocatalysts is dynamic during the CO2RR, and emphasize the importance of in situ characterization to understand the surface structure and its role in electrocatalysis.","","","","","","","","","","","",219,228,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 20",2021,143,2,"","","","",588,592,"","10.1021/jacs.0c10017","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c10017","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000612557200005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Owing to the wasteful oxygenase activity and slow turnover of Rubisco, the enzyme is among the most important targets for improving the photosynthetic efficiency of vascular plants(2,3). It has been anticipated that introducing the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) from cyanobacteria into plants could enhance crop yield(4-6). However, the complex nature of Rubisco's assembly has made manipulation of the enzyme extremely challenging, and attempts to replace it in plants with the enzymes from cyanobacteria and red algae have not been successful(7,8). Here we report two transplastomic tobacco lines with functional Rubisco from the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 (Se7942). We knocked out the native tobacco gene encoding the large subunit of Rubisco by inserting the large and small subunit genes of the Se7942 enzyme, in combination with either the corresponding Se7942 assembly chaperone, RbcX, or an internal carboxysomal protein, CcmM35, which incorporates three small subunit-like domains(9,10). Se7942 Rubisco and CcmM35 formed macromolecular complexes within the chloroplast stroma, mirroring an early step in the biogenesis of cyanobacterial beta-carboxysomes(11,12). Both transformed lines were photosynthetically competent, supporting autotrophic growth, and their respective forms of Rubisco had higher rates of CO2 fixation per unit of enzyme than the tobacco control. These transplastomic tobacco lines represent an important step towards improved photosynthesis in plants and will be valuable hosts for future addition of the remaining components of the cyanobacterial CCM, such as inorganic carbon transporters and the beta-carboxysome shell proteins(4-6).","","","","","","","","","","","",335,393,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 25",2014,513,7519,"","","","",547,"+","","10.1038/nature13776","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13776","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000342075800040","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

At the same time, in the most efficient devices, the current density increased from similar to 1 to 4 mA/cm(2).","","","","","","","","","","","",353,385,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 6",2014,5,3,"","","","",429,433,"","10.1021/jz402706q","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jz402706q","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000331153600006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Intentionally depositing traces of platinum nanoparticles on the alumina binder or the outer surface of zeolite crystals, instead of inside the zeolite crystals, enhanced isomer selectivity without compromising activity.

As a result, there are intensive efforts in developing recycling technologies to repurpose waste plastics into the building blocks for valuable materials. Here we show a binuclear complex that can catalyse the degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)-the most widely used polyester globally-and a wide spectrum of other plastics including polylactic acid, polybutylene adipate terephthalate, polycaprolactone, polyurethane and Nylon 66. Inspired by hydrolases, the group of enzymes that catalyse bond cleavages with water, the present catalyst design features biomimetic Zn-Zn sites that activate the plastic, stabilize the key intermediate and enable intramolecular hydrolysis. This synthetic catalyst delivers an activity of 36 mg(PET) d(-1) g(catal)(-1) toward PET depolymerization at pH 8 and 40 degrees C and an activity of 577 g(PET) d(-1) g(catal)(-1) at pH 13 and 90 degrees C for scalable PET recycling. We further demonstrate a closed-loop production of bottle-grade PET. This work presents a practical and viable solution for the sustainable management of plastics waste. Plastic pollution forms a major global challenge to the ecosystem.

Enabling uniform dispersion and intimate contact of cocatalyst nanoparticles on single-crystalline narrow-bandgap particulate photocatalysts is a key to efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion.

However, the accuracy of wearable blood-pressure (BP) monitoring devices has been controversial due to the low signal quality of sensors, the absence of an accurate transfer function to convert the sensor signals into BP values, and the lack of clinical validation regarding measurement precision. Here, a wearable piezoelectric blood-pressure sensor (WPBPS) is reported, which achieves a high normalized sensitivity (0.062 kPa(-1)), and fast response time (23 ms) for CNAP monitoring. The transfer function of a linear regression model is designed, offering a simple solution to convert the flexible piezoelectric sensor signals into BP values. In order to verify the measurement accuracy of WPBPS, clinical trials are performed on 35 subjects aged from 20 to 80 s after screening. The mean difference between the WPBPS and a commercial sphygmomanometer of 175 BP data pairs is -0.89 +/- 6.19 and -0.32 +/- 5.28 mmHg for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), respectively.

This allows for operando measurements just above the onset of OER; however, current densities as they are desired in photoelectrochemical devices (similar to 1-10 mA cm(-2)) could not be achieved in this work, due to ohmic losses in the thin electrolyte film.

Here, we report the discovery of the ion conductor Na3-xY1-xZrxCl6 (NYZC) that is both electrochemically stable (up to 3.8V vs. Na/Na+) and chemically compatible with oxide cathodes. Its high ionic conductivity of 6.6 x 10(-5)Scm(-1) at ambient temperature, several orders of magnitude higher than oxide coatings, is attributed to abundant Na vacancies and cooperative MCl6 rotation, resulting in an extremely low interfacial impedance. A SSSB comprising a NaCrO2+NYZC composite cathode, Na3PS4 electrolyte, and Na-Sn anode exhibits an exceptional first-cycle Coulombic efficiency of 97.1% at room temperature and can cycle over 1000 cycles with 89.3% capacity retention at 40 degrees C. These findings highlight the immense potential of halides for SSSB applications. Rechargeable solid-state sodium-ion batteries hold great promise for safer and more energy-dense energy storage. Here, the authors show a new sodium-based halide, Na3-xY1-xZrxCl6, for sodium-all-solid-state batteries with enhanced ionic conductivity and long-term cycling stability.","","","","","","","","","","","",175,190,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 23",2021,12,1,"","","","","","",1256,"10.1038/s41467-021-21488-7","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-21488-7","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000623781900030","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Resetting tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) is a promising strategy to enhance T-cell antitumor immunity and ameliorate tumor immunosuppression. Here, mannose-modified macrophage-derived microparticles (Man-MPs) loading metformin (Met@Man-MPs) are developed to efficiently target to M2-like TAMs to repolarize into M1-like phenotype. Met@Man-MPs-reset TAMs remodel the tumor immune microenvironment by increasing the recruitment of CD8(+) T cells into tumor tissues and decreasing immunosuppressive infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells. More importantly, the collagen-degrading capacity of Man-MPs contributes to the infiltration of CD8(+) T cells into tumor interiors and enhances tumor accumulation and penetration of anti-PD-1 antibody. These unique features of Met@Man-MPs contribute to boost anti-PD-1 antibody therapy, improving anticancer efficacy and long-term memory immunity after combination treatment. Our results support Met@Man-MPs as a potential drug to improve tumor resistance to anti-PD-1 therapy. Durable response rate to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy remains relatively low in patients with cancer. Here the authors show that metformin-loaded mannose-modified macrophage-derived microparticles reprogram the tumor immune microenvironment and improve responses to anti-PD-1 therapy.","","","","","","","","","","","",222,231,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 19",2021,12,1,"","","","","","",440,"10.1038/s41467-020-20723-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-20723-x","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000613518600008","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we propose a molecular design philosophy to explore pure organic NIR-IIb fluorophores by manipulation of the effects of twisted intramolecular charge transfer and aggregation-induced emission at the molecular and morphological levels. An organic fluorescent dye emitting up to 1600 nm with a quantum yield of 11.5% in the NIR-II region is developed. NIR-IIb fluorescence imaging of blood vessels and deeply-located intestinal tract of live mice based on organic dyes is achieved with high clarity and enhanced signal-to-background ratio.

The singlet oxygen quantum yield of nanohybrid is up to 0.74. Critically, in vitro tests verify the superior anti-cancer properties of nanohybrid with an IC50 determine to be 0.153 mu gmL(-1). The nanohybrids take advantage of the superior tissue penetration of 808 nm laser irradiation and exhibit a dramatically strong ability to ablate tumors in vivo, with extremely low toxicity.

To this end, this work, for the first time, discovers that the salting-in effect possessed by a zwitterionic hydrogel is able to facilitate water vapor sorption by the hygroscopic salt under otherwise the same conditions. For demonstration, zwitterionic hydrogel of poly-[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide (PDMAPS) was synthesized, and the hygroscopic salt of LiCl was embedded into PDMAPS to produce the salt-hydrogel composite. LiCl salt not only endows the sorbent with high water vapor sorption capacity but also facilitates the dissociation of self-association between cationic and anionic groups of PDMAPS. This salting-in effect was evaluated and confirmed experimentally and via density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The salting-in effect renders the zwitterionic hydrogel matrix with enhanced swelling capacity, leading to the sorbent's high AWH performance. With a photothermal component of CNT integrated into the sorbent, a fully solar energy-driven AWH process was demonstrated outdoors. This study provides important guidance to the design of hydrogel-based AWH sorbents.","","","","","","","","","","","",154,158,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 7",2022,4,3,"","","","",511,520,"","10.1021/acsmaterialslett.1c00723","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acsmaterialslett.1c00723","","","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000766647000010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the poor solubility of lithium salts in solvents sets constraints that compromises the electrolyte properties. Here, it is shown that introducing multiple salts to form a high-entropy solution, alters the solvation structure, which can be used to raise the solubility of specific salts and stabilize electrode-electrolyte interphases. The prepared high-entropy electrolytes significantly enhance the cycling and rate performance of lithium batteries. For lithium-metal anodes the reversibility exceeds 99%, which extends the cycle life of batteries even under aggressive cycling conditions. For commercial batteries, combining a graphite anode with a LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode, more than 1000 charge-discharge cycles are achieved while maintaining a capacity retention of more than 90%. These performance improvements with respect to regular electrolytes are rationalized by the unique features of the solvation structure in high-entropy electrolytes. The weaker solvation interaction induced by the higher disorder results in improved lithium-ion kinetics, and the altered solvation composition leads to stabilized interphases. Finally, the high-entropy, induced by the presence of multiple salts, enables a decrease in melting temperature of the electrolytes and thus enables lower battery operation temperatures without changing the solvents.","","","","","","","","","","","",85,86,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2023,35,17,"","","","","","","","10.1002/adma.202210677","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.202210677","","MAR 2023","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000950189000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

XPS data are commonly used to estimate the quality of and defects in graphene and graphene oxide (GO), by comparing carbon and oxygen 1s XPS peaks, obtaining an O/C ratio. This approach, however, cannot be used in the presence of extraneous oxygen contamination. The protocol, based on quantitative line-shape analysis of C 1s signals, uses asymmetric pseudo-Voigt line-shapes (APV), in contrast to Gaussian-based approaches conventionally used in fitting XPS spectra, thus allowing better accuracy in quantifying C 1s contributions from graphitic carbon (sp2), defects (sp3 carbon), carbons bonded to hydroxyl and epoxy groups, and from carbonyl and carboxyl groups. The APV protocol was evaluated on GRMs with O/C ratios ranging from 0.02 to 0.30 with film thicknesses from monolayers to bulk-like (>30 nm) layers and also applied to previously published data, showing better results compared to those from conventional XPS fitting protocols. Based uniquely on C 1s data, the APV protocol can quantify O/C ratio and the presence of specific functional groups in GRMs even on SiOx, substrates, or in samples containing water.

Due to the excellent electronic conductivity and three-dimensional nanoporous configuration, the representative NiFeW3-LDHs exhibit remarkable OER electrocatalytic activity with a low overpotential (211 mV at 10 mA cm-2), a small Tafel slope (36.44 mV dec-1), and fine stability (more than 120 h at 10 mA cm-2). The oxygen vacancy effectively modifies the intrinsic electronic structure of NiFe-LDHs, optimizes the adsorption energy of intermediates, and accelerates the OER.","","","","","","","","","","","",86,88,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 15",2023,452,"",2,"","","","","",139104,"10.1016/j.cej.2022.139104","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2022.139104","","SEP 2022","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000863120600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, based on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances legislation, it is necessary to eliminate the lead from currently used piezoelectric ceramics. Together with the increasing market share and improved performance of lead-free piezoelectrics, this growing recognition that the use of lead should be limited in piezoelectric materials has promoted the development of lead-free piezoelectric ceramics. Some devices with excellent performance based on lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been reported, and their applications are expected to increase in the near future. This perspective provides an overview of key advances related to the structures and properties of lead-free piezoelectrics, including (K,Na)NbO3, BaTiO3, Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3, and BiFeO3.

Even for the CrCoNi medium-entropy alloy (MEA), which has a simple facecentered cubic (FCC) structure that would bode well for high ductility, the fine grains processed to achieve gigapascal strength exhaust the strain hardening ability such that, after yielding, the uniform tensile strain is as low as similar to 2%. Here we purposely deploy, in this MEA, a three-level heterogeneous grain structure (HGS) with grain sizes spanning the nanometer to micrometer range, imparting a high yield strength well in excess of 1 GPa. This heterogeneity results from this alloy's low stacking fault energy, which facilitates corner twins in recrystallization and stores deformation twins and stacking faults during tensile straining. After yielding, the elastoplastic transition through load transfer and strain partitioning among grains of different sizes leads to an upturn of the strain hardening rate, and, upon further tensile straining at room temperature, corner twins evolve into nanograins. This dynamically reinforced HGS leads to a sustainable strain hardening rate, a record-wide hysteresis loop in load-unload-reload stress-strain curve and hence high back stresses, and, consequently, a uniform tensile strain of 22%. As such, this HGS achieves, in a singlephase FCC alloy, a strength-ductility combination that would normally require heterogeneous microstructures such as in dual-phase steels.","","","","","","","","","","","",426,442,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 10",2018,115,28,"","","","",7224,7229,"","10.1073/pnas.1807817115","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1807817115","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000438050900050","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the biggest challenge in photocatalysis is the efficient separation of photo-induced carriers. To this end, we report that the mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles are anchored on highly conductive Ti3C2 MXene co-catalyst by electrostatic self-assembly strategy. The constructed mesoporous TiO2/Ti3C2 composites display that the mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles are uniformly distributed on the surface of layer structured Ti3C2 nanosheets. More importantly, the as-obtained mesoporous TiO2/Ti3C2 composites reveal the significantly enhanced light absorption performance, photo-induced carriers separation and transfer ability, thus boosting the photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic methyl orange degradation efficiency of mesoporous TiO2/Ti3C2 composite with an optimized Ti3C2 content (3 wt%) can reach 99.6% within 40 min. The capture experiments of active species confirm that the center dot O-2 and center dot OH play major role in photocatalytic degradation process. Furthermore, the optimized mesoporous TiO2/Ti3C2 composite also shows an excellent photocatalytic H-2 production rate of 218.85 mu mol g(-1) h(-1), resulting in a 5.6 times activity as compared with the pristine mesoporous TiO2 nanoparticles.

To address these limitations, a novel 1D/2D TiO2/ZnIn2S4 heterostructure was designed according to the principles of the S-scheme heterojunction. The TiO2/ZnIn2S4 (TZISx) hybrids prepared via a hydrothermal method afforded significant improvement in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) in comparison to pristine TiO2 and ZnIn2S4. In particular, the optimal TZIS2 sample (mass ratio of ZnIn2S4 to TiO2 was 0.4) exhibited the highest PHE activity (6.03 mmol/h/g), which was approximately 3.7 and 2.0 times higher than those of pristine TiO2 and ZnIn2S4, respectively. This improvement in the PHE of the TZIS2 sample could be attributed to the formation of an intimate heterojunction interface, high-efficiency separation of charge carriers, abundant reactive sites, and enhanced light absorption capacity. Notably, theoretical and experimental results demonstrated that the S-scheme mechanism of interfacial electron transfer in the TZISx composites facilitated the transfer and separation of photoexcited charge carriers, resulting in more isolated photoexcited electrons for the PHE reaction.

In this work, a highly active and stable, meso-macro hierarchical porous Ni3S4 architecture, enriched in Ni3+ is designed as an advanced electrocatalyst for OER. The obtained Ni3S4 architectures exhibit a relatively low overpotential of 257 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) and 300 mV at 50 mA cm(-2). Additionally, this Ni3S4 catalyst has excellent long-term stability (no degradation after 300 h at 50 mA cm(-2)). The outstanding OER performance is due to the high concentration of Ni3+ and the meso-macro hierarchical porous structure. The presence of Ni3+ enhances the chemisorption of OH-, which facilitates electron transfer to the surface during OER. The hierarchical porosity increases the number of exposed active sites, and facilitates mass transport. A water-splitting electrolyzer using the prepared Ni3S4 as the anode catalyst and Pt/C as the cathode catalyst achieves a low cell voltage of 1.51 V at 10 mA cm(-2).

Nevertheless, the notorious top-growth dendrites caused by the intrinsic top-concentrated ions and randomly distributed electrons may ultimately trigger a cell failure. Herein, an electron/ion-flux dual-gradient 3D porous Zn anode is reported for dendrite-free ZIBs by adopting 3D printing technology. The 3D-printed Zn anode with layer-by-layer bottom-up attenuating Ag nanoparticles (3DP-BU@Zn) establishes dual-gradient electron/ion fluxes, i.e., an internal bottom-up gradient electron flux created by bottom-rich conductive Ag nanoparticles, and a gradient ion flux resulting from zincophilic Ag nanoparticles which pump ions toward the bottom. Meanwhile, the 3D-printing-enabled hierarchical porous structure and continuously conducting network endow unimpeded electron transfer and ion diffusion among the electrode, dominating a bottom-preferential Zn deposition behavior. As a result, the 3DP-BU@Zn symmetrical cell affords highly reversible Zn plating/stripping with an extremely small voltage hysteresis of 17.7 mV and a superior lifespan over 630 h at 1 mA cm(-2) and 1 mAh cm(-2). Meanwhile, the 3DP-BU@Zn//VO2 full cell exhibits remarkable cyclic stability over 500 cycles.

In order to reduce the cost of ammonia synthesis and promote large-scale production, it is very important to develop stable and highly active electrocatalysts. In this work, we demonstrate an iron-based metal-organic framework (MIL-100) and molybdenum-based polyoxometalate (PMo12) host-guest-assisted strategy for synthesizing nanostructured bimetallic sulfides through a one-pot hydrothermal synthesis process. FeS2/MoS2 particles are evenly distributed on reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with high conductivity, forming a well-defined nanoflower structure. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of FeS2, MoS2 (with inherent rich catalytically active sites and uniform nanoflower structure) and RGO, the as-synthesized FeS2/MoS2@RGO achieves electrocatalytic activity and stability towards NRR in both basic and acidic solutions. The electrochemical results show a high Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 38.6 % and NH3 yield rate of 41.1 mu g h-1 mgcat -1 at -0.2 V with respect to a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) in acidic potassium sulfate, and FE of 9.62 % and NH3 yield rate of 10.35 mu g h-1 mgcat-1 at -0.4 V vs. RHE in alkaline potassium hydroxide solution at room temperature. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation indicates that NRR on FeS2/MoS2 has optimized nitrogen binding and ammonia release which promotes the fast kinetics process through the distal mechanism, and the protonation of N2 to form *N2H species is the rate-determining step (RDS) with the maximum Delta G values (+0.43 eV).

Although the number of oxygen vacancies gradually increased, the degradation efficiency of g-C3N4@C-TiO2 for RhB (phenol) initially increased and subsequently decreased with increasing carbon content. The g-C3Na4@10C-TiO2 sample exhibited the highest apparent reaction rate constant of 0.036 min(-1) (0.039 min(-)1) for RhB (phenol) degradation, which was 150 (139), 6.4 (6.8), 2.3 (3), and 1.7 (2.1) times higher than that of pure TiO2, 10C-TiO2, g-C3N4, and g-C3N4@TiO2, respectively. g-C3N4 was grown in situ on the surface of C-TiO2 by surface carbon hybridization and bonding. The resultant novel g-C3N4@C-TiO2 photocatalyst exhibited direct Z-scheme heterojunctions with non-local impurity levels. The high photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the synergistic effects of the improved visible light response ability, higher photogenerated electron transfer efficiency, and redox ability arising from Z-type heterojunctions. 2019, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

However, this task represents a huge challenge given the combined extreme conditions of super acidity, high ionic strength, and strong radiation field. Here we overcome this challenge using a cationic polymeric network with significant TcO4- uptake capabilities in four aspects: the fastest sorption kinetics, the highest sorption capacity, the most promising uptake performance from highly acidic solutions, and excellent radiation-resistance and hydrolytic stability among all anion sorbent materials reported. In addition, this material is fully recyclable for multiple sorption/desorption trials, making it extremely attractive for waste partitioning and emergency remediation. The excellent TcO4- uptake capability is elucidated by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, solid-state NMR measurement, and density functional theory analysis on anion coordination and bonding.","","","","","","","","","","","",286,297,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 1",2018,9,"","","","","","","",3007,"10.1038/s41467-018-05380-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-05380-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000440413500007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

By analyzing dark-current density and distribution, it is identified that charge recombination at grain boundaries is a key factor limiting the performance of low-bandgap mixed Sn-Pb halide perovskite subcells. It is further found that bromine (Br) incorporation can effectively passivate grain boundaries and lower the dark current density by two-three orders of magnitude. By optimizing the Br concentration, low-bandgap (1.272 eV) mixed Sn-Pb halide perovskite solar cells are fabricated with open-circuit voltage deficits as low as 0.384 V and fill factors as high as 75%.

This suggests a fundamental connection between superconductivity and fluctuations in some other order parameter. To better understand this connection, we used high-pressure X-ray scattering to directly study the CDW order in the layered dichalcogenide TiSe2, which was previously shown to exhibit superconductivity when the CDW is suppressed by pressure(1) or intercalation of Cu atoms(2). We succeeded in suppressing the CDW fully to zero temperature, establishing for the first time the existence of aquantum critical point (QCP) at P-c = 5.1 +/- 0.2 GPa, which is more than 1 GPa beyond the end of the superconducting region. Unexpectedly, at P = 3 GPa we observed a reentrant, weakly first order, incommensurate phase, indicating the presence of a Lifshitz tricritical point somewhere above the superconducting dome. Our study suggests that superconductivity in TiSe2 may not be connected to the QCP itself, but to the formation of CDW domain walls.","","","","","","","","","","","",241,256,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2014,10,6,"","","","",421,425,"","10.1038/NPHYS2935","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NPHYS2935","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000336969500017","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In production of fuels and chemicals from biomass, lignin is typically underused as a feed-stock and burned for process heat because its inherent heterogeneity and recalcitrance make it difficult to selectively valorize. In nature, however, some organisms have evolved metabolic pathways that enable the utilization of lignin-derived aromatic molecules as carbon sources. Aromatic catabolism typically occurs via upper pathways that act as a biological funnel to convert heterogeneous substrates to central intermediates, such as protocatechuate or catechol. These intermediates undergo ring cleavage and are further converted via the beta-ketoadipate pathway to central carbon metabolism. Here, we use a natural aromatic-catabolizing organism, Pseudomonas putida KT2440, to demonstrate that these aromatic metabolic pathways can be used to convert both aromatic model compounds and heterogeneous, lignin-enriched streams derived from pilot-scale biomass pretreatment into medium chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (mcl-PHAs). mcl-PHAs were then isolated from the cells and demonstrated to be similar in physicochemical properties to conventional carbohydrate-derived mcl-PHAs, which have applications as bioplastics. In a further demonstration of their utility, mcl-PHAs were catalytically converted to both chemical precursors and fuel-range hydrocarbons. Overall, this work demonstrates that the use of aromatic catabolic pathways enables an approach to valorize lignin by overcoming its inherent heterogeneity to produce fuels, chemicals, and materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",619,697,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 19",2014,111,33,"","","","",12013,12018,"","10.1073/pnas.1410657111","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1410657111","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000340438800039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, uncertainties still remain on the exact mechanism through which FEC alters the electrolyte decomposition and SEI formation process. Herein, the influence of FEC on LiPF6/ethylene carbonate (EC) electrolytes for Si anodes is investigated through classical molecular dynamics, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations. Albeit a minority species, FEC is found to significantly modify the solvation structure and reduction behavior of the electrolyte while being innocuous to transport properties. Even with limited 10% of FEC, the Li+ solvation structure exhibits a notably higher contact-ion pair ratio (14%) than the parent EC electrolyte (6%). Moreover, FEC itself, as a new fluorine-containing species, appears in 1/5 of the Li+ solvation shells. The Li+-coordinated FEC is found to reduce prior to EC and uncoordinated FEC which will passivate the anode surface at an early onset (ca. 0.3 V higher than EC) by forming LiF. The critical role of FEC in tailoring the Li+ solvation structure and as-formed protective SEI composition provides mechanistic insight that will aid in the rational design of novel electrolytes.","","","","","","","","","","","",304,332,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2019,64,"","","","","","","",103881,"10.1016/j.nanoen.2019.103881","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2019.103881","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000487931500063","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In line With the myriad functions of metalloporphyrins, we investigated their capability for photoinduced living polymerization under visible light irradiation over a broad range of wavelengths. We discovered that zinc porphyrins.(i.e., zinc tetraphenylporphine (ZnTPP)) were able to Selectively activate photoinduced electron transfer reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) polymerization of trithiocarbonate compounds for the polymerization of styrene, (meth)acrylates and (meth)acrylamides under a broad range of wavelengths (from 435 to 655 nm). Interestingly, other thiocarbonylthio compounds (dithiobenzoate, dithiocarbamite and xanthate) were not effectively activated in the presence of ZnTPP. This selectivity was likely attributed to a specific interaction between ZnTPP and trithiocarbonates, suggesting novel recognition at the molecular level. This interaction between the photoredox catalyst and trithiocarbonate group confers specific properties to this polymerization, such as oxygen tolerance, enabling living radical polymerization in the presence of air and also ability to manipulate the polymerization rates (k(p)(app) from 1.2-2.6 x 10(-2) min(-1)) by varying the visible wavelengths.","","","","","","","","","","","",439,466,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 22",2015,137,28,"","","","",9174,9185,"","10.1021/jacs.5b05274","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.5b05274","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000358556200046","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we spearhead this challenging effort to design thermal-quenching resistant phosphorescent materials based on an effective intermediate energy buffer and energy transfer route. Co-crystallized assembly of zero-dimensional metal halide organic-inorganic hybrids enables ultralong room temperature phosphorescence of (Ph4P)(2)Cd2Br6 that maintains luminescent stability across a wide temperature range from 100 to 320K (Delta T=220 degrees C) with the room temperature phosphorescence quantum yield of 62.79% and lifetime of 37.85ms, which exceeds those of other state-of-the-art systems. Therefore, this work not only describes a design for thermal-quenching-resistant luminescent materials with high efficiency, but also demonstrates an effective way to obtain intelligent systems with long-lasting room temperature phosphorescence for optical storage and logic compilation applications. Molecular luminescence is generally significantly quenched at high temperature.

Here we systematically investigate these thermal annealing effects through in-depth characterizations of carrier mobility, film morphology, charge photogeneration, and recombination using SCLC, GIXRD, AFM, XPS, NEXAFS, R-SoXS, TEM, STEM, fs/ns TA spectroscopy, 2DES, and impedance spectroscopy. Surprisingly, thermal annealing does not alter the film crystallinity, R-SoXS characteristic size scale, relative average phase purity, or TEM-imaged phase separation but rather facilitates Y6 migration to the BHJ film top surface, changes the PBDB-TF/Y6 vertical phase separation and intermixing, and reduces the bottom surface roughness. While these morphology changes increase bimolecular recombination (BR) and lower the free charge (FC) yield, they also increase the average electron and hole mobility by at least 2-fold. Importantly, the increased mu(h) dominates and underlies the increased FF and PCE. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Y6 molecules cofacially pack via their end groups/cores, with the shortest pi-pi distance as close as 3.34 angstrom, clarifying out-of-plane pi-face-on molecular orientation in the nanocrystalline BHJ domains. DFT analysis of Y6 crystals reveals hole/electron reorganization energies of as low as 160/150 meV, large intermolecular electronic coupling integrals of 12.1-37.9 meV rationalizing the 3D electron transport, and relatively high mu(e) of 10(-4) cm(2) V-1 s(-1). Taken together, this work clarifies the richness of thermal annealing effects in high-efficiency NFA solar cells and tasks for future materials design.","","","","","","","","","","","",257,269,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 26",2020,142,34,"","","","",14532,14547,"","10.1021/jacs.0c05560","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c05560","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000566667700018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This structural feature means that each amino acid spends sufficient time in the pore for sensitive measurement of the excluded volume of the amino acid. We show that distinct current blockades in wild-type aerolysin can be used to identify 13 of the 20 natural amino acids. Furthermore, we show that chemical modifications, instrumentation advances and nanopore engineering offer a route toward identification of the remaining seven amino acids. These findings may pave the way to nanopore protein sequencing.","","","","","","","","","","","",327,342,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2020,38,2,"","","","",176,"+","","10.1038/s41587-019-0345-2","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41587-019-0345-2","","","","","","Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000511666100020","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This paper is a component of the report, focusing on the present-day distribution and trends of tropospheric ozone relevant to climate and global atmospheric chemistry model evaluation. Utilizing the TOAR surface ozone database, several figures present the global distribution and trends of daytime average ozone at 2702 non-urban monitoring sites, highlighting the regions and seasons of the world with the greatest ozone levels. Similarly, ozonesonde and commercial aircraft observations reveal ozone's distribution throughout the depth of the free troposphere. Long-term surface observations are limited in their global spatial coverage, but data from remote locations indicate that ozone in the 21st century is greater than during the 1970s and 1980s. While some remote sites and many sites in the heavily polluted regions of East Asia show ozone increases since 2000, many others show decreases and there is no clear global pattern for surface ozone changes since 2000. Two new satellite products provide detailed views of ozone in the lower troposphere across East Asia and Europe, revealing the full spatial extent of the spring and summer ozone enhancements across eastern China that cannot be assessed from limited surface observations. Sufficient data are now available (ozonesondes, satellite, aircraft) across the tropics from South America eastwards to the western Pacific Ocean, to indicate a likely tropospheric column ozone increase since the 1990s. The 2014-2016 mean tropospheric ozone burden (TOB) between 60 degrees N-60 degrees S from five satellite products is 300 Tg +/- 4%. While this agreement is excellent, the products differ in their quantification of TOB trends and further work is required to reconcile the differences. Satellites can now estimate ozone's global long-wave radiative effect, but evaluation is difficult due to limited in situ observations where the radiative effect is greatest.","","","","","","","","","","","",312,333,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 10",2018,6,"","","","","","","",39,"10.1525/elementa.291","http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/elementa.291","","","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000431754000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Their electronic structure displays pairs of Weyl points (through which the electronic bands disperse linearly along all three momentum directions) connected by topological surface states, forming a unique arc-like Fermi surface (FS). Each Weyl point is chiral and contains half the degrees of freedom of a Dirac point, and can be viewed as a magnetic monopole in momentum space. By performing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on the non-centrosymmetric compound TaAs, here we report its complete band structure, including the unique Fermi-arc FS and linear bulk band dispersion across the Weyl points, in agreement with the theoretical calculations1,2. This discovery not only confirms TaAs as a 3DTWS, but also provides an ideal platform for realizing exotic physical phenomena (for example, negative magnetoresistance, chiral magnetic effects and the quantum anomalous Hall effect) which may also lead to novel future applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",828,899,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2015,11,9,"","","","",728,"+","","10.1038/NPHYS3425","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NPHYS3425","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000360709200014","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Photovoltaic devices fabricated from perovskite absorbers have reached power conversion efficiencies above 25 per cent in single-junction devices and 28 per cent in tandem devices(1,2). This strong performance (albeit below the practical limits of about 30 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively(3)) is surprising in thin films processed from solution at low-temperature, a method that generally produces abundant crystalline defects(4). Although point defects often induce only shallow electronic states in the perovskite bandgap that do not affect performance(5), perovskite devices still have many states deep within the bandgap that trap charge carriers and cause them to recombine non-radiatively. These deep trap states thus induce local variations in photoluminescence and limit the device performance(6). The origin and distribution of these trap states are unknown, but they have been associated with light-induced halide segregation in mixed-halide perovskite compositions(7) and with local strain(8), both of which make devices less stable(9). Here we use photoemission electron microscopy to image the trap distribution in state-of-the-art halide perovskite films. Instead of a relatively uniform distribution within regions of poor photoluminescence efficiency, we observe discrete, nanoscale trap clusters. By correlating microscopy measurements with scanning electron analytical techniques, we find that these trap clusters appear at the interfaces between crystallographically and compositionally distinct entities. Finally, by generating time-resolved photoemission sequences of the photo-excited carrier trapping process(10,11), we reveal a hole-trapping character with the kinetics limited by diffusion of holes to the local trap clusters. Our approach shows that managing structure and composition on the nanoscale will be essential for optimal performance of halide perovskite devices.","","","","","","","","","","","",304,320,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 16",2020,580,7803,"","","","",360,"+","","10.1038/s41586-020-2184-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2184-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000530151300027","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, it remains a challenge to achieve large-scale and highly efficient single-component white-light-emissive CDs suitable for WLED applications. Herein, a low cost, fast processable, environmentally friendly, and one-step synthetic approach is developed for the preparation of gram-scale and highly efficient single-component white-light-emissive carbonized polymer dots (SW-CPDs). It is revealed that hybrid fluorescence/phosphorescence components cooperatively contribute to the emergence of white light emission. The SW-CPDs exhibit a record quantum yield (QY) of approximate to 41% for the white light emission observed in solid-state CD systems, while the QY of the phosphorescence is approximate to 23% under ambient conditions. Heavy doping of N and P elements as well as presence of covalently cross-linked polymer frameworks is suggested to account for the emergence of hybrid fluorescence/phosphorescence, which is supported by the experimental results and theoretical calculations. A WLED is fabricated by applying the SW-CPDs on an UV-LED chip, showing favorable white-light-emitting characteristics with a high luminous efficacy of 18.7 lm W-1 that is comparable to that of state-of-the-art WLEDs reported before.","","","","","","","","","","","",170,180,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2020,7,4,"","","","","","",1902688,"10.1002/advs.201902688","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.201902688","","JAN 2020","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000507436700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In biological systems, however, neurotransmitters are chemical-based interneuron messengers. This mismatch can potentially lead to incorrect interpretation of the transmitted neuron information. Here we report a chemically mediated artificial neuron that can receive and release the neurotransmitter dopamine. The artificial neuron detects dopamine using a carbon-based electrochemical sensor and then processes the sensory signals using a memristor with synaptic plasticity, before stimulating dopamine release through a heat-responsive hydrogel. The system responds to dopamine exocytosis from rat pheochromocytoma cells and also releases dopamine to activate pheochromocytoma cells, forming a chemical communication loop similar to interneurons. To illustrate the potential of this approach, we show that the artificial neuron can trigger the controllable movement of a mouse leg and robotic hand.

Here, we report experiments combined with ab initio calculations that address the effects of oxygen and water in contact with BP. Our results show that the reaction with oxygen is primarily responsible for changing properties of BP. Oxidation involving the dissociative chemisorption of O-2 causes the decomposition of BP and continuously lowers the conductance of BP field-effect transistors (FETs). In contrast, BP is stable in contact with deaerated (i.e., O-2 depleted) water and the carrier mobility in BP FETs gated by H2O increases significantly due to efficient dielectric screening of scattering centers by the high-k dielectric. Isotope labeling experiments, contact angle measurements, and calculations show that the pristine BP surface is hydrophobic but is turned progressively hydrophilic by oxidation.

Herein, sustainable rice husks (RHs)-derived SiO2 are chosen as a feedstock to design SiOx/iron-nitrogen co-doped carbon (Fe-N-C) materials. Using a facile electrospray-carbonization strategy, SiOx nanoparticles (NPs) are encapsulated in the nitrogen-doped carbon (N-C) frameworks decorating atomically dispersed iron sites. Systematic characterizations including high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) verify the existence of Fe single atoms and typical coordination environment. Benefiting from its structural and compositional merits, the SiOx/Fe-N-C anode delivers significantly improved discharge capacity of 799.1 mAh g(-1), rate capability, and exceptional durability, compared with pure SiO2 and SiOx/N-C, which has been revealed by the density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Additionally, the electrochemical tests and in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveal the oxidation of LixSi phase and the storage mechanism. The synthetic strategy is universal for the design and synthesis of metal single atoms/clusters dispersed N-C frameworks encapsulated SiOx NPs. Meanwhile, this work provides impressive insights into developing various LIB anode materials suffering from inferior conductivity and huge volume fluctuations.","","","","","","","","","","","",98,102,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,10,4,"","","","","","","","10.1002/advs.202206084","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.202206084","","DEC 2022","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000895718100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It enables intriguing programmability of elastic properties and shape while preserving stability for intelligent machines. Elastic properties of classical bulk materials can hardly be changed or adjusted in operando, while such tunable elasticity is highly desired for robots and smart machinery. Although possible in reconfigurable metamaterials, continuous tunability in existing designs is plagued by issues such as structural instability, weak robustness, plastic failure and slow response. Here we report a metamaterial design paradigm using gears with encoded stiffness gradients as the constituent elements and organizing gear clusters for versatile functionalities. The design enables continuously tunable elastic properties while preserving stability and robust manoeuvrability, even under a heavy load. Such gear-based metamaterials enable excellent properties such as continuous modulation of Young's modulus by two orders of magnitude, shape morphing between ultrasoft and solid states, and fast response. This allows for metamaterial customization and brings fully programmable materials and adaptive robots within reach.","","","","","","","","","","","",120,126,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2022,21,8,"","","","",869,"+","","10.1038/s41563-022-01269-3","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41563-022-01269-3","","JUN 2022","","","","Chemistry; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000808423100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Modulating the biofilm infection microenvironment may influence the metabolic state of the bacteria and provide alternative therapeutic routes. In this study, photodynamic therapy is used not only to eradicate methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in the normoxic condition, but also to potentiate the hypoxic microenvironment, which induces the anaerobic metabolism of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and activates the antibacterial activity of metronidazole. Moreover, the photodynamic therapy-activated chemotherapy can polarize the macrophages to a M2-like phenotype and promote the repair of the biofilm infected wounds in mice. This biofilm infection microenvironment modulation strategy, whereby the hypoxic microenvironment is potentiated to synergize photodynamic therapy with chemotherapy, provides an alternative pathway for efficient treatment of biofilm-associated infections.

By tuning the Fermi level on the nonpolar surfaces of gallium nitride nanowire arrays, we demonstrate that the quantum efficiency can be enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude. The internal quantum efficiency and activity on p-type gallium nitride nanowires can reach similar to 51% and similar to 4.0 mol hydrogen h(-1) g(-1), respectively. The nanowires remain virtually unchanged after over 50,000 mu mol gas (hydrogen and oxygen) is produced, which is more than 10,000 times the amount of photocatalyst itself (similar to 4.6 mmol).

Films with similar thicknesses (about 200 pm) and water content (15-20%) were obtained (p > 0.05). The polyphenols content of the active films ranged between 4.4 and 13.6 mg of gallic acid equivalents per gram. As the polyphenols content increased, the films showed an increase in their antioxidant activity. Moreover, the films containing the greater extract concentration showed better barrier properties against UV light. Surface hydrophobicity of the films was affected by the extract presence; the active films showed about 40% higher contact angle values (about 51) than the control ones (about 37). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis suggested that RE presence inhibited the bonding between glycerol and starch molecules and as a result the water vapor permeability and mechanical properties of the active films were affected. Migration tests were carried out using water and ethanol 95% as food simulants for aqueous and fatty foods, respectively. After 7 days of film exposition, the total polyphenols content loaded in the films was migrated within the aqueous food simulant, while, only a negligible polyphenol amount was detected in the fatty food one. Finally, the bio-disintegration of the films was tested finding that as the RE content increased the integrity of the RE-containing films was better preserved along the composting.

The subsystems are allowed to have non-identical dynamics, whereas with similar structures and the same yet arbitrary system order. And the communication status among the subsystems can be represented by a directed graph. Different from the traditional centralized tracking control problem, only a subset of the subsystems can obtain the desired trajectory information directly. A distributed adaptive control approach based on backstepping technique is proposed. By introducing the estimates to account for the parametric uncertainties of the desired trajectory and its neighbors' dynamics into the local controller of each subsystem, information exchanges of online parameter estimates and local synchronization errors among linked subsystems can be avoided. It is proved that the boundedness of all closed-loop signals and the asymptotically consensus tracking for all the subsystems' outputs are ensured. A numerical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. Moreover, the design strategy is successfully applied to solve a formation control problem for multiple nonholonomic mobile robots. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Here, Au nanoneedles are inserted into the metalloporphyrin framework to activate C-C coupling and stabilize the structure for much enhanced ethylene production. Direct implementation of metal-organic frameworks as the catalyst for CO2 electroreduction has been challenging due to issues such as poor conductivity, stability, and limited > 2e(-) products. In this study, Au nanoneedles are impregnated into a cupric porphyrin-based metal-organic framework by exploiting ligand carboxylates as the Au3+ -reducing agent, simultaneously cleaving the ligand-node linkage. Surprisingly, despite the lack of a coherent structure, the Au-inserted framework affords a superb ethylene selectivity up to 52.5% in Faradaic efficiency, ranking among the best for metal-organic frameworks reported in the literature. Through operando X-ray, infrared spectroscopies and density functional theory calculations, the enhanced ethylene selectivity is attributed to Au-activated nitrogen motifs in coordination with the Cu centers for C-C coupling at the metalloporphyrin sites. Furthermore, the Au-inserted catalyst demonstrates both improved structural and catalytic stability, ascribed to the altered charge conduction path that bypasses the incoherent framework. This study underlines the modulation of reticular metalloporphyrin structure by metal impregnation for steering the CO2 reduction reaction pathway.","","","","","","","","","","","",100,103,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 17",2022,13,1,"","","","","","",63,"10.1038/s41467-021-27768-6","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27768-6","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000744540800002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Both small plastic fragments (microplastics, MPs) produced by degradation of larger plastic waste (secondary MPs; SMPs) and microscopic plastic spheres used in cosmetic products and industry (primary MPs; PMPs) are ubiquitously present in the environment. However, despite the fact that most environmental MPs consist of weathered plastic debris with irregular shape and broad size distribution, experimental studies of organism responses to MP exposure have largely used uniformly sized spherical PMPs. Therefore, effects observed for PMPs in such experiments may not be representative for MP-effects in situ. Moreover, invertebrate filter-feeders are generally well adapted to the presence of refractory material in seston, which questions the potential of MPs at environmentally relevant concentrations to measurably affect digestion in these organisms. Here, we compared responses to MPs (PMPs and SMPs) and naturally occurring particles (kaolin clay) using the cladoceran Daphnia magna as a model organism. We manipulated food levels (0.4 and 9 mu g C mL(-1)) and MP or kaolin contribution to the feeding suspension (<1 to 74%) and evaluated effects of MPs and kaolin on food uptake, growth, reproductive capacity of the daphnids, and maternal effects on offspring survival and feeding. Exposure to SMPs caused elevated mortality, increased inter-brood period and decreased reproduction albeit only at high MP levels in the feeding suspension (74% by particle count). No such effects were observed in either PMP or kaolin treatments. In daphnids exposed to any particle type at the low algal concentration, individual growth decreased by similar to 15%. By contrast, positive growth response to all particle types was observed at the high algal concentration with 17%, 54% and 40% increase for kaolin, PMP and SMP, respectively. When test particles comprised 22% in the feeding suspension, both MP types decreased food intake by 30%, while kaolin had no effect. Moreover, SMPs were found to homoaggregate in a concentration-dependent manner, which resulted in a 77% decrease of the ingested SMPs compared to PMPs. To better understand MP-processing in the gut, gut passage time (GPT) and evacuation rate of MPs were also assayed. SMPs and PMPs differed in their effects on daphnids; moreover, the particle effects were dependent on the MP: algae ratio in the suspension. When the MP contribution to the particle abundance in the medium changed from 1 to 4%, GPT for daphnids exposed to SMPs increased 2-fold. Our results suggest that MPs and, in particular, SMPs, have a greater capacity to negatively affect feeding in D. magna compared to naturally occurring mineral particles of similar size. Moreover, grazer responses observed in experiments with PMPs cannot be extrapolated to the field where SMPs dominate, because of the greater effects caused by the latter.","","","","","","","","","","","",336,374,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 13",2016,11,5,"","","","","","","e0155063","10.1371/journal.pone.0155063","http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0155063","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000376589400066","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, bulk ferrites suffer from limited electrical conductivity, sluggish ion transport, and inadequate active sites. Therefore, rational structural design and composition regulation of the ferrites are approaches to overcome these limitations. Herein, a general biomimetic mineralization synthetic strategy is proposed to synthesize ferrite (XFe2O4, X = Ni, Co, Mn) quantum dot/graphene (QD/G) heterostructures. Anchoring ferrite QD on the graphene sheets not only strengthens the structural stability, but also forms the electrical conductivity network needed to boost the ion diffusion and charge transfer. The optimized NiFe2O4 QD/G heterostructure exhibits specific capacitances of 697.5 F g(-1) at 1 A g(-1), and exceptional cycling performance. Furthermore, the fabricated symmetrical SCs deliver energy densities of 24.4 and 17.4 Wh kg(-1) at power densities of 499.3 and 4304.2 W kg(-1), respectively. Density functional theory calculations indicate the combination of NiFe2O4 QD and graphene facilitates the adsorption of potassium atoms, ensuring rapid ion/charge transfer. This work enriches the application of the biomimetic mineralization synthesis and provides effective strategies for boosting ion/charge transfer, which may offer a new way to develop advanced electrodes for SCs.","","","","","","","","","","","",102,102,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2023,35,21,"","","","","","","","10.1002/adma.202300940","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.202300940","","APR 2023","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000961665900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Discovery of materials with very low or high kappa(omega) remains an experimental challenge due to high costs and time-consuming synthesis procedures. High-throughput computational prescreening is a valuable approach for significantly reducing the set of candidate compounds. In this article, we introduce efficient methods for reliably estimating the bulk kappa(omega) for a large number of compounds. The algorithms are based on a combination of machine-learning algorithms, physical insights, and automatic ab initio calculations. We scanned approximately 79,000 half-Heusler entries in the AFLOWLIB.org database. Among the 450 mechanically stable ordered semiconductors identified, we find that kappa(omega) spans more than 2 orders of magnitude-a much larger range than that previously thought. kappa(omega) is lowest for compounds whose elements in equivalent positions have large atomic radii. We then perform a thorough screening of thermodynamical stability that allows us to reduce the list to 75 systems. We then provide a quantitative estimate of kappa(omega) for this selected range of systems. Three semiconductors having kappa(omega) < 5 Wm(-1) K-1 are proposed for further experimental study.","","","","","","","","","","","",444,484,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 19",2014,4,1,"","","","","","",11019,"10.1103/PhysRevX.4.011019","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.4.011019","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000332159300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The study was carried out as a process-based attributional life cycle assessment. The environmental impacts were analyzed using midpoint indicators. The global warming potential of the 26.6kilowatt-hour(kWh), 253-kilogram battery pack was found to be 4.6tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents. Regardless of impact category, the production impacts of the battery were caused mainly by the production chains of battery cell manufacture, positive electrode paste, and negative current collector. The robustness of the study was tested through sensitivity analysis, and results were compared with preceding studies. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the most effective approach to reducing climate change emissions would be to produce the battery cells with electricity from a cleaner energy mix. On a per-kWh basis, cradle-to-gate greenhouse gas emissions of the battery were within the range of those reported in preceding studies.

Since temperature greatly affects degradation rate and safety of LIBs, battery thermal management system (BTMS) is required. In this paper, the performance of active air cooling and passive phase change material (PCM) cooling for BTMS are assessed in terms of battery thermal states and cycle life. A coupled one-dimensional electrochemical and two-dimensional thermal models are developed to simulate the temperature of a battery module with 16 cylindrical (26650) graphite-LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery cells. The model is validated with the experimental data taken from literature. By applying a realistic current profile of a HEV to the battery model, simulations are performed at various ambient temperatures, inlet velocities of air cooling and PCM phase change temperatures. The battery cycle life and its non-uniformity across the module are estimated with a battery degradation model with inputs of battery temperature results. The study shows that active air cooling has a better cooling effect than PCM cooling, especially at high ambient temperatures. But the active air cooling leads to a large temperature non-uniformity at low inlet air velocities. The cycle life of the battery module under air cooling is longer than that of PCM cooling, although a larger life non-uniformity is observed. Furthermore, two methods are compared by a newly proposed evaluation index called cyclical cost. This index considers both the battery cycle life and the parasitic power consumption of the BTMS. The result demonstrates that air cooling has a lower cyclical cost than PCM cooling. When the inlet velocity of the air cooling system increases, the cyclical cost has a trend of decreasing first and then increasing. This paper provides a guide for the development of BTMS to further prolong the cycle life and reduce total operating cost of LIBs.","","","","","","","","","","","",194,201,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 5",2020,173,"","","","","","","",115154,"10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2020.115154","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2020.115154","","","","","","Thermodynamics; Energy & Fuels; Engineering; Mechanics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000526111200004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The drawbacks of both semiconductors, nevertheless, prevent them from being used in real and large-scale treatments. Therefore, binary and ternary-based TiO2/ZnS nanostructured materials may be a promising solution to improve the quantum efficiency, structural, and electrical features of pure TiO2 and ZnS semiconductors for improved photoefficiency. This review aims to unravel the development of binary TiO2/ZnS and the modification of ternary photocatalysts (TiO2/ZnS-X, X = metal, non-metal, and dye sensitization) by various approaches. The engineered TiO2/ZnS-based ternary nanostructured materials have exhibited exceptional performance to accelerate the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. These materials were fabricated by modifying TiO2/ZnS binary composite and embedding co-catalysts like carbonaceous material, polymeric material, transition metal, metal oxide, and metal. The relationship between the properties of the resulting nanomaterials and their photocatalytic performances has been examined.

We demonstrate the ability to drive an individual skyrmion by short current pulses along a vdW heterostructure, FGT/h-BN, as highly required for any skyrmion-based spintronic device. Using first principle calculations supported by experiments, we unveil the origin of DMI being the interfaces with oxides, which then allows us to engineer vdW heterostructures for desired chiral states. Our finding opens the door to topological spin textures in the 2D vdW magnet and their potential device application.","","","","","","","","","","","",144,154,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 5",2021,103,10,"","","","","","",104410,"10.1103/PhysRevB.103.104410","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.103.104410","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000627551900002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, beyond basic considerations such as spectral absorption, the factors that dictate their photocatalytic activity are poorly understood. Here we investigate a series of linear conjugated polymers with external quantum efficiencies for hydrogen production between 0.4 and 11.6%. We monitor the generation of the photoactive species from femtoseconds to seconds after light absorption using transient spectroscopy and correlate their yield with the measured photocatalytic activity. Experiments coupled with modeling suggest that the localization of water around the polymer chain due to the incorporation of sulfone groups into an otherwise hydrophobic backbone is crucial for charge generation. Calculations of solution redox potentials and charge transfer free energies demonstrate that electron transfer from the sacrificial donor becomes thermodynamically favored as a result of the more polar local environment, leading to the production of long-lived electrons in these amphiphilic polymers.","","","","","","","","","","","",290,304,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 23",2018,9,"","","","","","","",4968,"10.1038/s41467-018-07420-6","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-07420-6","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000451047900003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While there are no concerns about their efficiency, very little is known about their stability under illumination and load. Ionic defects and their migration in the perovskite crystal lattice are some of the most alarming sources of degradation, which can potentially prevent the commercialization of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, we provide direct evidence of electric field-induced ionic defect migration and we isolate their effect on the long-term performance of state-of-the-art devices. Supported by modelling, we demonstrate that ionic defects, migrating on timescales significantly longer (above 10(3) s) than what has so far been explored (from 10(-1) to 10(2) s), abate the initial efficiency by 10-15% after several hours of operation at the maximum power point. Though these losses are not negligible, we prove that the initial efficiency is fully recovered when leaving the device in the dark for a comparable amount of time. We verified this behaviour over several cycles resembling day/night phases, thus probing the stability of PSCs under native working conditions. This unusual behaviour reveals that research and industrial standards currently in use to assess the performance and the stability of solar cells need to be adjusted for PSCs. Our work paves the way for much needed new testing protocols and figures of merit specifically designed for PSCs.","","","","","","","","","","","",567,600,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 1",2017,10,2,"","","","",604,613,"","10.1039/c6ee03352k","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c6ee03352k","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Engineering; Environmental Sciences & Ecology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000395679100019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The successful production of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) depends on its material ingredients and mixture proportioning, which leads to denser and relatively more homogenous particle packing. A database was compiled from various research and field studies around the world on the mechanical and durability performance of UHPC. It is shown that UHPC provides a viable and long-term solution for improved sustainable construction owing to its ultra-high strength properties, improved fatigue behavior and very low porosity, leading to excellent resistance against aggressive environments. The literature review revealed that the curing regimes and fiber dosage are the main factors that control the mechanical and durability properties of UHPC. Currently, the applications of UHPC in construction are very limited due to its higher initial cost, lack of contractor experience and the absence of widely accepted design provisions. However, sustained research progress in producing UHPC using locally available materials under normal curing conditions should reduce its material cost. Current challenges regarding the implementation of UHPC in full-scale structures are highlighted. This study strives to assist engineers, consultants, contractors and other construction industry stakeholders to better understand the unique characteristics and capabilities of UHPC, which should demystify this resilient and sustainable construction material.","","","","","","","","","","","",300,331,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2016,10,3,"","","","",271,295,"","10.1007/s40069-016-0157-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40069-016-0157-4","","","","","","Construction & Building Technology; Engineering; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000382704200002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The high electrocatalytic activity of the material however cannot be sustained within the active voltage window on timescales consistent with commercial requirements. The goal of this work is to identify and prove the source of inherent catalyst instability by tracking changes in the material during OER activity. By combining in situ and ex situ Raman analyses we elucidate long-term effects on the catalyst performance from a changing crystallographic phase. In particular, we attribute electrochemically stimulated compositional degradation at active sites as the principal cause of the sharp loss of activity from NiFe LDHs shortly after the alkaline cell is turned on. EDX, XPS, and EELS analyses performed after OER also reveal noticeable leaching of Fe metals compared to Ni, principally from highly active edge sites. In addition, post-cycle analysis identified a ferrihydrite by-product formed from the leached Fe. Density functional theory calculations shed light on the thermodynamic driving force for the leaching of Fe metals and propose a dissolution pathway which involves [FeO4](2-) removal at relevant OER potentials.","","","","","","","","","","","",76,76,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 21",2023,11,8,"","","","",4067,4077,"","10.1039/d2ta07261k","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/d2ta07261k","","JAN 2023","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000920168600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

For many applications, it is desirable to utilize natural ingredients to formulate nanoemulsions so as to create label-friendly products. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of a number of natural emulsifiers at fabricating corn oil-in-water nanoemulsions using dual-channel microfluidization. These emulsifiers were either amphiphilic biopolymers (whey protein and gum arabic) or biosurfactants (quillaja saponin and soy lecithin). Differences in the surface activities of these emulsifiers were characterized using interfacial tension measurements. The influence of emulsifier type, concentration, and homogenization pressure on the efficiency of nanoemulsion formation was examined. The long-term stability of the fabricated nanoemulsions was also monitored during storage at ambient temperature. For all of the natural emulsifiers, nanoemulsions could be produced by dual-channel microfluidization, with the mean particle diameter decreasing with increasing emulsifier concentration and homogenization pressure. Whey protein isolate and quillaja saponin were more effective at forming nanoemulsions containing fine droplets than gum arabic and soy lecithin, with a lower amount of emulsifier required and smaller droplets being produced. This effect was attributed to faster emulsifier adsorption and a greater reduction in interfacial tension leading to more efficient droplet disruption within the homogenizer for saponins and whey proteins. This study highlights the potential of dual-channel microfluidization for efficiently producing label-friendly nanoemulsions from natural emulsifiers. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Fibers containing similar to 0, 2, 4, and 14 wt% residual lignin were microfluidized into LCNF aqueous suspensions and were processed into dry films (nanopapers). A systematic decrease in fibril diameter with increasing residual lignin was observed upon fibrillation, consistent with the radical scavenging ability of the lignin that results in better cell wall deconstruction. The stiff nature of the lignin-containing fibrils made them less able to conform during filtration and improved extensively dewatering, owing to a more open structure. However, the softening of the lignin during hot-pressing of the nanopapers and its amorphous nature enabled a binding effect, filling the voids between the nanofibers (thus reducing the number of micropores) and making the surface of the nanopapers smoother. The interfacial free energy of interaction changed drastically with the increased lignin content: the corresponding water contact angles were 35 degrees and 78 degrees for the lignin-free and for the (14%) lignin-containing nanopaper, respectively, revealing the increase in hydrophobicity. Together with the significantly less porous structure of LCNF nanopapers, lower water absorbency was observed with increased lignin content. Lignin in the nanopapers reduced the oxygen permeability by up to 200-fold. Water vapor permeability, in turn, did not correlate linearly with lignin content but depended most significantly on material density. The tensile strength, modulus, and strain for the LCNF nanopapers were found to be in the range 116-164 MPa, 10.5-14.3 GPa, and 1.7-3.5%, respectively. To a good degree of approximation, these mechanical properties were rather insensitive to lignin content and comparable to those of nanopapers derived from fully bleached CNF. Whilst it might be expected that lignin interferes in hydrogen bonding between fibrils, this was apparently counteracted by the uniform distribution of lignin seemingly aiding stress-transfer between fibrils and thus preserving mechanical properties. Overall, LCNF is demonstrated to be a suitable precursor of nanopaper, especially when reduced polarity and low hydrophilicity are desirable in related bio-products.","","","","","","","","","","","",414,440,"","","","","","","","","","","",2015,17,3,"","","","",1853,1866,"","10.1039/c4gc02398f","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c4gc02398f","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000351091300058","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study we aim to investigate the critical aspects of this staining method using Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the model microorganisms for high throughput studies in microtiter plates. SYTO9 or PI was added alone or consecutively together to cells and the fluorescence intensities were measured using microplate reader and confocal laser scanning microscope. Results: We found that staining of S. aureus cells with SYTO9 alone resulted in equal signal intensity for both live and dead cells, whereas staining of P. aeruginosa cells led to 18-fold stronger signal strength for dead cells than for live ones. After counterstaining with PI, the dead P. aeruginosa cells still exhibited stronger SYTO9 signal than the live cells. We also observed that SYTO9 signal showed strong bleaching effect and decreased dramatically over time. PI intensity of the culture increased linearly with the increase of dead cell numbers, however, the maximum intensities were rather weak compared to SYTO9 and background values. Thus, slight inaccuracy in measurement of PI signal could have significant effect on the outcome. Conclusions: When viability staining with SYTO9 and PI is performed, several factors need to be considered such as the bleaching effect of SYTO9, different binding affinity of SYTO9 to live and dead cells and background fluorescence.","","","","","","","","","","","",539,590,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 18",2015,15,"","","","","","","",36,"10.1186/s12866-015-0376-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12866-015-0376-x","","","","","","Microbiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000350257800003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the large overpotential and low selectivity of current chlorine evolution reaction (CER) electrocatalysts result in significant energy consumption during chlorine production. Herein, we report a highly active oxygen-coordinated ruthenium single-atom catalyst for the electrosynthesis of chlorine in seawater-like solutions. As a result, the as-prepared single-atom catalyst with Ru-O-4 moiety (Ru-O-4 SAM) exhibits an overpotential of only similar to 30 mV to achieve a current density of 10mA cm(-2) in an acidic medium (pH = 1) containing 1M NaCl. Impressively, the flow cell equipped with Ru-O-4 SAM electrode displays excellent stability and Cl-2 selectivity over 1000 h continuous electrocatalysis at a high current density of 1000mA cm(-2). Operando characterizations and computational analysis reveal that compared with the benchmark RuO2 electrode, chloride ions preferentially adsorb directly onto the surface of Ru atoms on Ru-O-4 SAM, thereby leading to a reduction in Gibbs free-energy barrier and an improvement in Cl-2 selectivity during CER. This finding not only offers fundamental insights into the mechanisms of electrocatalysis but also provides a promising avenue for the electrochemical synthesis of chlorine from seawater electrocatalysis.","","","","","","","","","","","",118,119,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 29",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",2475,"10.1038/s41467-023-38129-w","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-38129-w","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001022903400007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While different aspects and individual modules of the platform have been previously presented, the purpose of this paper is to give a general overview of the platform. The QuantumATK simulation engines enable electronic-structure calculations using density functional theory or tight-binding model Hamiltonians, and also offers bonded or reactive empirical force fields in many different parametrizations. Density functional theory is implemented using either a plane-wave basis or expansion of electronic states in a linear combination of atomic orbitals. The platform includes a long list of advanced modules, including Green?s-function methods for electron transport simulations and surface calculations, first-principles electron-phonon and electron-photon couplings, simulation of atomic-scale heat transport, ion dynamics, spintronics, optical properties of materials, static polarization, and more. Seamless integration of the different simulation engines into a common platform allows for easy combination of different simulation methods into complex workflows. Besides giving a general overview and presenting a number of implementation details not previously published, we also present four different application examples. These are calculations of the phonon-limited mobility of Cu, Ag and Au, electron transport in a gated 2D device, multi-model simulation of lithium ion drift through a battery cathode in an external electric field, and electronic-structure calculations of the composition-dependent band gap of SiGe alloys.","","","","","","","","","","","",1409,1439,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 1",2020,32,1,"","","","","","",15901,"10.1088/1361-648X/ab4007","http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1361-648X/ab4007","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000499348200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, an electrostatically driven self-assembly approach is used, where phenanthroline is used to synthesize bifunctional LaNi sites within covalent organic framework. The La and Ni site acts as optically and catalytically active center for photocarriers generation and highly selective CO2-to-CO reduction, respectively. Theory calculations and in-situ characterization reveal the directional charge transfer between LaNi double-atomic sites, leading to decreased reaction energy barriers of *COOH intermediate and enhanced CO2-to-CO conversion. As a result, without any additional photosensitizers, a 15.2 times enhancement of the CO2 reduction rate (605.8 mu mol.g(-1).h(-1)) over that of a benchmark covalent organic framework colloid (39.9 mu mol.g(-1).h(-1)) and improved CO selectivity (98.2%) are achieved.

The empty p-orbital in such Lewis acids can be attacked by nucleophiles, so bulky groups are often employed to provide air-stable materials. However, many of these can still bind fluoride and cyanide anions leading to applications as anion-selective sensors. One electron reduction generates radical anions. The p-acceptor strength can be easily tuned by varying the organic substituents. Many of these compounds show strong two-photon absorption (TPA) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF) behaviour, which can be applied for e.g. biological imaging. Furthermore, these chromophores can be used as emitters and electron transporters in OLEDs, and examples have recently been found to exhibit efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF). The three-coordinate organoboron unit can also be incorporated into polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Such boron-doped compounds exhibit very interesting properties, distinct from their all-carbon analogues. Significant developments have been made in all of these areas in recent years and new applications are rapidly emerging for this class of boron compounds.","","","","","","","","","","","",558,581,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 1",2017,8,2,"","","","",846,863,"","10.1039/c6sc04245g","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c6sc04245g","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000395428300002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Recently, several kinds of photonic and sonic crystals have been proposed as classical counterparts of valley-Hall topological insulators. However, direct experimental observation of valley-polarized edge states in photonic crystals has remained difficult until now. Here, we demonstrate a designer surface plasmon crystal comprising metallic patterns deposited on a dielectric substrate, which can become a valley-Hall photonic topological insulator by exploiting the mirror-symmetry-breaking mechanism. Topological edge states with valley-dependent transport are directly visualized in the microwave regime. The observed edge states are confirmed to be fully valley-polarized through spatial Fourier transforms.

These flux-grown crystals have a lower Curie temperature T-c approximate to 150 K compared to crystals previously grown by vapor transport (T-c = 220 K). The difference is a reduced Fe content in the flux-grown crystals, as illustrated by the behavior observed in a series of polycrystalline samples. As Fe content decreases, so does the Curie temperature, magnetic anisotropy, and net magnetization. In addition, Hall effect and thermoelectric measurements on flux-grown crystals suggest multiple carrier types contribute to electrical transport in Fe3-xGeTe2 and structurally similar Ni3-xGeTe2.","","","","","","","","","","","",231,254,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 8",2016,93,1,"","","","","","",14411,"10.1103/PhysRevB.93.014411","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.93.014411","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000367779000006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Furthermore, the designed mimic is stable under extreme conditions (pH, ionic strength, temperature, storage time), markedly reusable for several cycles, and displays broad substrate specificity.

The material properties, including the electron-phonon interaction, are calculated from first principles. We provide a detailed description of the normalized full-band relaxation time approximation for the linearized Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) that includes inelastic scattering processes. The bulk electron-phonon coupling is evaluated by a supercell method. The method employed is fully numerical and does therefore not require a semianalytic treatment of part of the problem and, importantly, it keeps the anisotropy information stored in the coupling as well as the band structure. In addition, we perform calculations of the low-field mobility and its dependence on carrier density and temperature to obtain a better understanding of transport in graphene, silicene, and monolayer MoS2. Unlike graphene, the carriers in silicene show strong interaction with the out-of-plane modes. We find that graphene has more than an order of magnitude higher mobility compared to silicene in the limit where the silicene out-of-plane interaction is reduced to zero (by substrate interaction, clamping, or similar). If the out-of-plane interaction is not actively reduced, the mobility of silicene will essentially be zero. For MoS2, we obtain several orders of magnitude lower mobilities compared to graphene in agreement with other recent theoretical results. The simulations illustrate the predictive capabilities of the newly implemented BTE solver applied in simulation tools based on first-principles and localized basis sets.","","","","","","","","","","","",230,246,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 8",2016,93,3,"","","","","","",35414,"10.1103/PhysRevB.93.035414","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.93.035414","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000367779800004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The method is based on the energy hub concept, which describes and manages the relation between input and output energy flows and thus can be used to optimise energy consumption. The original energy hub concept is further developed to include decentralized and local energy technologies such as photovoltaics, biomass, or small hydro power, together with district heating systems, building and district conversion and storage technologies at neighbourhood level. Additionally, input from a building simulation tool for evaluating time-dependent buildings energy demand is included in the method. The proposed approach can be used to evaluate and size urban energy systems according to their energy-autonomy, economic and ecological performance. The advantage is that the energy supply systems and local energy storage systems can be evaluated in a combined way at district scale. The suggested method allows to lower peaks in energy demands of neighbourhoods on the electrical grid and to reduce the overall consumption. The developed method is finally applied on a case study for which future energy scenarios of different implementation scale are suggested. The area is located in a village in the mountains and contains 29 buildings. Suggested scenarios include decentralized and local renewable energy sources and district and small heating networks. Results show a variation of 52-98 tons of CO2 emissions, and an energy autonomy between 64% and 92%. In case of CO2 emissions, the best solution is given for a combination of multiple supply technologies and small networks which shows 46% lower emissions than for a scenario with only PV and biomass based systems.

We find that the high thermocapillary force, induced by the high temperature gradient in the laser interaction region, can rapidly eliminate pores from the melt pool during the LPBF process.

Using this process to make low molar mass polycarbonate polyols is a commercially relevant route to new thermosets and polyurethanes. In contrast, high molar mass polycarbonates, produced from CO2, generally under-deliver in terms of properties, and one of the most widely investigated, poly(cyclohexene carbonate), is limited by its low elongation at break and high brittleness. Here, a new catalytic polymerization process is reported that selectively and efficiently yields degradable ABA-block polymers, incorporating 6-23 wt % CO2. The polymers are synthesized using a new, highly active organometallic heterodinuclear Zn(II)/Mg(II) catalyst applied in a one-pot procedure together with biobased e-decalactone, cyclohexene oxide, and carbon dioxide to make a series of poly(cyclohexene carbonate-b-decalactone-b-cyclohexene carbonate) [PCHC-PDL-PCHC]. The process is highly selective (CO2 selectivity >99% of theoretical value), allows for high monomer conversions (>90%), and yields polymers with predictable compositions, molar mass (from 38-71 kg mol(-1)), and forms dihydroxyl telechelic chains. These new materials improve upon the properties of poly(cyclohexene carbonate) and, specifically, they show good thermal stability (T-d,T-S similar to 280 degrees C), high toughness (112 MJ m(-3)), and very high elongation at break (>900%). Materials properties are improved by precisely controlling both the quantity and location of carbon dioxide in the polymer chain. Preliminary studies show that polymers are stable in aqueous environments at room temperature over months, but they are rapidly degraded upon gentle heating in an acidic environment (60 degrees C, toluene, p-toluene sulfonic acid). The process is likely generally applicable to many other lactones, lactides, anhydrides, epoxides, and heterocumulenes and sets the scene for a host of new applications for CO2-derived polymers.","","","","","","","","","","","",194,203,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 4",2020,142,9,"","","","",4367,4378,"","10.1021/jacs.9b13106","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jacs.9b13106","","","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000518700800034","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Integrated photonics has recently become a leading platform for the compact, cost-efficient, and stable generation and processing of non-classical optical states(7). However, so far, integrated entangled quantum sources have been limited to qubits (D = 2)(8-11). Here we demonstrate on-chip generation of entangled qudit states, where the photons are created in a coherent superposition of multiple high-purity frequency modes. In particular, we confirm the realization of a quantum system with at least one hundred dimensions, formed by two entangled qudits with D = 10. Furthermore, using state-of-the-art, yet off-the-shelf telecommunications components, we introduce a coherent manipulation platform with which to control frequency-entangled states, capable of performing deterministic high-dimensional gate operations. We validate this platform by measuring Bell inequality violations and performing quantum state tomography.

However, volumetric capacities at low temperatures, and both gravimetric and volumetric capacities at ambient temperature, need to be improved before such adsorbents become practically viable. This article therefore discusses approaches to increasing the gravimetric and volumetric hydrogen storage capacities of nanoporous materials, and maximizing the usable capacity of a material between the upper storage and delivery pressures. In addition, recent advances in machine learning and data science provide an opportunity to apply this technology to the search for new materials for hydrogen storage. The large number of possible component combinations and substitutions in various porous materials, including Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), is ideally suited to a machine learning approach; so this is also discussed, together with some new material types that could prove useful in the future for hydrogen storage applications.

In contrast, here, we demonstrate a refractory W-HfO2 metamaterial, which controls thermal emission through an engineered dielectric response function. The epsilon-near-zero frequency of a metamaterial and the connected optical topological transition (OTT) are adjusted to selectively enhance and suppress the thermal emission in the near-infrared spectrum, crucial for improved TPV efficiency. The near-omnidirectional and spectrally selective emitter is obtained as the emission changes due to material properties and not due to resonances or interference effects, marking a paradigm shift in thermal engineering approaches.

Moreover, our work suggests a viewpoint to understand and apply the same-valance dopants in heterogeneous catalysis, which is generally useful but still poorly understood.","","","","","","","","","","","",308,314,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 28",2019,10,"","","","","","","",2877,"10.1038/s41467-019-10888-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-10888-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000473132200041","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we show that in solid-state systems this classification is incomplete, and we find several additional types of crystal symmetry-protected free fermionic excitations. We exhaustively classify linear and quadratic three-, six-, and eight-band crossings stabilized by space group symmetries in solid-state systems with spin-orbit coupling and time-reversal symmetry. Several distinct types of fermions arise, differentiated by their degeneracies at and along high-symmetry points, lines, and surfaces. Some notable consequences of these fermions are the presence of Fermi arcs in non-Weyl systems and the existence of Dirac lines. Ab initio calculations identify a number of materials that realize these exotic fermions close to the Fermi level.","","","","","","","","","","","",976,1028,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 5",2016,353,6299,"","","","","","","aaf5037","10.1126/science.aaf5037","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf5037","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000381560900033","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the presence of lattice defects, unavoidable in sheets obtained by scalable routes, might degrade its mechanical properties(2,3). Here we report a systematic study on the elastic modulus and strength of graphene with a controlled density of defects. Counter-intuitively, the in-plane Young's modulus increases with increasing defect density up to almost twice the initial value for a vacancy content of similar to 0.2%. For a higher density of vacancies, the elastic modulus decreases with defect inclusions. The initial increase in Young's modulus is explained in terms of a dependence of the elastic coefficients on the momentum of flexural modes predicted for two-dimensional membranes(4,5). In contrast, the fracture strength decreases with defect density according to standard fracture continuum models. These quantitative structure-property relationships, measured in atmospheric conditions, are of fundamental and technological relevance and provide guidance for applications in which graphene mechanics represents a disruptive improvement.","","","","","","","","","","","",296,316,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2015,11,1,"","","","",26,31,"","10.1038/NPHYS3183","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NPHYS3183","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000346831100019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, this is not achievable if their mechanical behaviors are not well understood. This paper aims to discuss recent advances of the constitutive models of hydrogels and SMPs, in particular the theories associated with their deformations. On the one hand, constitutive models of six main types of hydrogels are introduced, the categorization of which is defined by the type of stimulus. On the other hand, constitutive models of thermal-induced SMPs are discussed and classified into three main categories, namely, rheological models; phase transition models; and models combining viscoelasticity and phase transition, respectively. Another feature in this paper is a summary of the common hyperelastic models, which can be potentially developed into the constitutive models of hydrogels and SMPs. In addition, the main advantages and disadvantages of these constitutive modes are discussed. In order to provide a compass for researchers involved in the study of mechanics of soft materials, some research gaps and new research directions for hydrogels and SMPs constitutive modes are presented. We hope that this paper can serve as a reference for future hydrogel and SMP studies.","","","","","","","","","","","",181,187,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2020,12,2,"","","","","","",2050014,"10.1142/S1758825120500143","http://dx.doi.org/10.1142/S1758825120500143","","","","","","Mechanics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000528259500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Our calculations indicate that CO-CO coupling is facile on all three facets in the presence of a cation-induced electric field in the Helmholtz plane, with the lowest barrier on Cu(100). The CO dimerization pathway is therefore expected to play a role in C-2 formation at potentials negative of the Cu potential of zero charge, corresponding to CO2/CO reduction conditions at high pH. Both increased *CO coverage and tensile strain further improve C-C coupling energetics on Cu (111) and (211). Since CO dimerization is facile on all 3 Cu facets, subsequent surface hydrogenation steps may also play an important role in determining the overall activity towards C-2 products. Adsorption of *CO, *H, and *OH on the 3 facets were investigated with a Pourbaix analysis. The (211) facet has the largest propensity to co-adsorb *CO and *H, which would favor surface hydrogenation following CO dimerization. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

J.; Chen, Shaohua; Wu, Xiaolei","","","On strain hardening mechanism in gradient nanostructures","INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLASTICITY","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Experiments have shown that a gradient design, in which grain size spans over four orders of magnitude, can make strong nanomaterials ductile. The enhanced ductility is attributed to the considerable strain hardening capability obtained in the gradient metals. A non-uniform deformation on the lateral sample surface is also observed. This might inject geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) into the sample. However, no direct evidence has been provided. Therefore the issues remain: why can the gradient structure generate high strain hardening, and how does it reconcile the strength-ductility synergy of gradient nanostructures? Here for the first time we quantitatively investigate the strain hardening of a gradient interstitial-free steel by developing a dislocation density-based continuum plasticity model, in which the interaction of the component layers in the gradient structure is represented by incorporating GNDs and back stress. It is demonstrated that both the surface non-uniform deformation and the strain-hardening rate up-turn can be quantitatively well predicted. The results also show that the strain hardening rate of the gradient sample can reach as high as that of the coarse-grained counterpart. A strength-ductility map is then plotted, which clearly show that the gradient samples perform much more superior to their homogeneous counterparts in strength-ductility synergy. The predicted map has been verified by a series of experimental data. A detailed analysis on GNDs distribution and back stress evolution at the end further substantiates our view that the good strain hardening capability results from the generation of abundant GNDs by the surface non-uniform deformation into the nano-grained layers of the gradient sample.

Phonon polariton nanoresonators made of polar crystals could represent an interesting alternative, since they exhibit large quality factors, which go far beyond those of their plasmonic counterparts. The recent emergence of van der Waals crystals enables the fabrication of high-quality nanophotonic resonators based on phonon polaritons, as reported for the prototypical infrared-phononic material hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). In this work we use, for the first time, phonon-polariton-resonant h-BN ribbons for SEIRA spectroscopy of small amounts of organic molecules in Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Strikingly, the interaction between phonon polaritons and molecular vibrations reaches experimentally the onset of the strong coupling regime, while numerical simulations predict that vibrational strong coupling can be fully achieved. Phonon polariton nanoresonators thus could become a viable platform for sensing, local control of chemical reactivity and infrared quantum cavity optics experiments.","","","","","","","","","","","",284,303,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 6",2018,7,"","","","","","","",17172,"10.1038/lsa.2017.172","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/lsa.2017.172","","","","","","Optics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000430146000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

ARC is a similar to 200-250 MWe tokamak reactor with a major radius of 3.3 m, a minor radius of 1.1 m, and an on-axis magnetic field of 9.2T. ARC has rare earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) superconducting toroidal field coils, which have joints to enable disassembly. This allows the vacuum vessel to be replaced quickly, mitigating first wall survivability concerns, and permits a single device to test many vacuum vessel designs and divertor materials. The design point has a plasma fusion gain of Q(p) approximate to 13.6, yet is fully non-inductive, with a modest bootstrap fraction of only similar to 63%. Thus ARC offers a high power gain with relatively large external control of the current profile. This highly attractive combination is enabled by the similar to 23 T peak field on coil achievable with newly available REBCO superconductor technology. External current drive is provided by two innovative inboard RF launchers using 25 MW of lower hybrid and 13.6 MW of ion cyclotron fast wave power. The resulting efficient current drive provides a robust, steady state core plasma far from disruptive limits. ARC uses an all-liquid blanket, consisting of low pressure, slowly flowing fluorine lithium beryllium (FLiBe) molten salt. The liquid blanket is low-risk technology and provides effective neutron moderation and shielding, excellent heat removal, and a tritium breeding ratio >= 1.1. The large temperature range over which FLiBe is liquid permits an output blanket temperature of 900 K, single phase fluid cooling, and a high efficiency helium Brayton cycle, which allows for net electricity generation when operating ARC as a Pilot power plant.

A reversible transition between the polar Pbc2(1) and antipolar Pbca phases, where the crystal structures of the 180 degrees domain wall of the Pbc2(1) phase and the unit cell structure of the Pbca phase were identical, was induced by applying appropriate cycling voltages. The critical field strength that determined whether the film would be woken up or fatigued was similar to 0.8 MV/cm, above or below which wake-up or fatigue was observed, respectively. Repeated cycling with sufficiently high voltages led to development of the interfacial nonpolar P4(2)/nmc phase, which induced fatigue through the depolarizing field effect. The fatigued film could be rejuvenated by applying a slightly higher voltage, indicating that these transitions were reversible. These mechanisms are radically different from those of conventional ferroelectrics.","","","","","","","","","","","",141,149,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 3",2022,13,1,"","","","","","",645,"10.1038/s41467-022-28236-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28236-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000752207900018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The FCC study covered an energy-frontier hadron collider (FCC-hh), a highest-luminosity high-energy lepton collider (FCC-ee), the corresponding 100km tunnel infrastructure, as well as the physics opportunities of these two colliders, and a high-energy LHC, based on FCC-hh technology. This document constitutes the third volume of the FCC Conceptual Design Report, devoted to the hadron collider FCC-hh. It summarizes the FCC-hh physics discovery opportunities, presents the FCC-hh accelerator design, performance reach, and staged operation plan, discusses the underlying technologies, the civil engineering and technical infrastructure, and also sketches a possible implementation. Combining ingredients from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the high-luminosity LHC upgrade and adding novel technologies and approaches, the FCC-hh design aims at significantly extending the energy frontier to 100TeV. Its unprecedented centre of-mass collision energy will make the FCC-hh a unique instrument to explore physics beyond the Standard Model, offering great direct sensitivity to new physics and discoveries.","","","","","","","","","","","",498,521,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL",2019,228,4,"","","","",755,1107,"","10.1140/epjst/e2019-900087-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjst/e2019-900087-0","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000477858500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

These particles can serve as vectors of chemical toxins and microbial pathogens and thus, as organisms consume them, may lead to biomagnification of these contaminants. As collection points in managed water systems, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) provide an opportunity to develop and implement novel technologies to manage SAL pollution. Here, we assessed the efficiency of different unit processes at three WWTPs in removing SAL. Samples were collected from WWTPs that employ either secondary treatment (activated sludge) or tertiary treatment (granular sand filtration) as a final step, as well as a pilot membrane bioreactor system that finishes treatment with microfiltration. SAL from 20 mu m to 4.75mm was quantified and categorized by shape. The WWTP with secondary treatment removed 95.6% of SAL, discharging 5.9 SAL per L in the final effluent; the plant with tertiary treatment removed 97.2% of SAL, discharging 2.6 SAL per L; the membrane bioreactor plant removed 99.4% of SAL, discharging 0.5 SAL per L. The majority of SAL in effluent from all plants was comprised of thin fibers (e.g., textile fibers). While the WWTP with tertiary granular sand filtration and the membrane bioreactor exhibited greater overall removal of SAL, fibers represented a larger percentage of SAL in effluent from these plants (79 and 83%, respectively) than the plant with activated sludge as a final step (44% fibers). This study suggests that retrofitting existing secondary WWTPs with granular sand filtration or membrane filtration would result in the highest possible removal of SAL-though treatment facilities would continue to serve as pathways of SAL pollution to the environment. Further, the fate of the 95-99% of SAL that is retained or leaves WWTPs through means other than effluent (e.g., sludge) must be resolved to effectively address this problem.","","","","","","","","","","","",280,317,"","","","","","","","","","","",2016,2,6,"","","","",1064,1073,"","10.1039/c6ew00207b","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c6ew00207b","","","","","","Engineering; Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Water Resources","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000388470100017","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, the traditional synthesis relying on high-temperature pyrolysis towards combining sources of Fe, N, and C often results in the plurality of local environments for the FeNx sites. Unveiling the effect of carbon matrix adjacent to FeNx sites towards ORR activity is important but still is a great challenge due to inevitable connection of diverse N as well as random defects. Here, we report a proof-of-concept study on the evaluation of covalent-bonded carbon environment connected to FeN4 sites on their catalytic activity via pyrolysis-free approach. Basing on the closed p conjugated phthalocyanine-based intrinsic covalent organic polymers (COPs) with well-designed structures, we directly synthesized a series of atomically dispersed Fe-N-C catalysts with various pure carbon environments connected to the same FeN4 sites. Experiments combined with density functional theory demonstrates that the catalytic activities of these COPs materials appear a volcano plot with the increasement of delocalized p electrons in their carbon matrix. The delocalized p electrons changed anti-bonding d-state energy level of the single FeN4 moieties, hence tailored the adsorption between active centers and oxygen intermediates and altered the ratedetermining step.","","","","","","","","","","","",108,115,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 10",2022,13,1,"","","","","","","","10.1038/s41467-021-27735-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27735-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001028263400004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

While the activity of system Xc(-) often positively correlates with the expression level of its light chain encoded by SLC7A11, inhibition of system Xc(-) activity by small molecules (e.g., erastin) causes a decrease in the intracellular GSH level, leading to ferroptotic cell death. How system Xc(-) is regulated during ferroptosis remains largely unknown. Here we report that activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), a common stress sensor, can promote ferroptosis induced by erastin. ATF3 suppressed system Xc(-), depleted intracellular GSH, and thereby promoted lipid peroxidation induced by erastin. ATF3 achieved this activity through binding to the SLC7A11 promoter and repressing SLC7A11 expression in a p53-independent manner. These findings thus add ATF3 to a short list of proteins that can regulate system Xc(-) and promote ferroptosis repressed by this antiporter.","","","","","","","","","","","",514,551,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2020,27,2,"","","","",662,675,"","10.1038/s41418-019-0380-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41418-019-0380-z","","","","","","Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; Cell Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000510936500018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Weathering turns otherwise poorly conductive bedrock into a dynamic water storage reservoir. Infiltrating precipitation typically will pass through unsaturated weathered bedrock before reaching groundwater and running off to streams. This invisible and difficult to access unsaturated zone is virtually unexplored compared with the surface soil mantle. We have proposed the term rock moisture to describe the exchangeable water stored in the unsaturated zone in weathered bedrock, purposely choosing a term parallel to, but distinct from, soil moisture, because weathered bedrock is a distinctly different material that is distributed across landscapes independently of soil thickness. Here, we report a multiyear intensive campaign of quantifying rock moisture across a hillslope underlain by a thick weathered bedrock zone using repeat neutron probe measurements in a suite of boreholes. Rock moisture storage accumulates in the wet season, reaches a characteristic upper value, and rapidly passes any additional rainfall downward to groundwater. Hence, rock moisture storage mediates the initiation and magnitude of recharge and runoff. In the dry season, rock moisture storage is gradually depleted by trees for transpiration, leading to a common lower value at the end of the dry season. Up to 27% of the annual rainfall is seasonally stored as rock moisture. Significant rock moisture storage is likely common, and yet it is missing from hydrologic and land-surface models used to predict regional and global climate.","","","","","","","","","","","",257,300,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 13",2018,115,11,"","","","",2664,2669,"","10.1073/pnas.1800141115","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1800141115","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000427245400049","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We choose titanium (Ti) instead of the commonly used gold (Au) to construct nano-disk arrays on the top of a silicon dioxide (SiO2) coated Au substrate, with the quality (Q) factor of the localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance being decreased due to the intrinsic high loss of Ti. The combination of this low-Q LSP resonance and the propagating surface plasmon (PSP) excitation resonance, which occur at different wavelengths, is the fundamental origin of the broadband absorption. The measured (at normal light incidence) absorption is over 90% in the wavelength range from 900 nm to 1825 nm, with high absorption persisting up to the incident angle of similar to 40 degrees.

A key question that has remained experimentally unexplored is the relationship of this new type of quantum Hall (QH) state with the previously known orbitally driven QH states. Here, we show experimentally that a ferromagnetic topological insulator exhibiting the QAH state is well described by the global phase diagram of the QH effect.

The ability to computationally predict the extent of damage and compression-after-impact (CAI) strength of a composite structure can potentially lead to the exploration of a larger design space without incurring significant time and cost penalties. A high-fidelity three-dimensional composite damage model, to predict both low-velocity impact damage and CAI strength of composite laminates, has been developed and implemented as a user material subroutine in the commercial finite element package, ABAQUS/Explicit. The intralaminar damage model component accounts for physically-based tensile and compressive failure mechanisms, of the fibres and matrix, when subjected to a three-dimensional stress state. Cohesive behaviour was employed to model the interlaminar failure between plies with a bi-linear traction-separation law for capturing damage onset and subsequent damage evolution. The virtual tests, set up in ABAQUS/Explicit, were executed in three steps, one to capture the impact damage, the second to stabilize the specimen by imposing new boundary conditions required for compression testing, and the third to predict the CAI strength. The observed intralaminar damage features, delamination damage area as well as residual strength are discussed. It is shown that the predicted results for impact damage and CAI strength correlated well with experimental testing without the need of model calibration which is often required with other damage models.

Here we show that centimetre-scale multilayer hBN can be synthesized on iron-nickel alloy foil by chemical vapour deposition, and then used as a substrate and as a surface-protecting layer in graphene field-effect transistors. We also develop an integrated electrochemical transfer and thermal treatment method that allows us to create high-performance graphene/hBN heterostacks. Arrays of graphene field-effect transistors fabricated by conventional and scalable methods show an enhancement in room-temperature carrier mobility when hBN is used as an insulating substrate, and a further increase-up to a value of 10,000 cm(2) V-1 s(-1)-when graphene is encapsulated with another hBN sheet. Multilayers of hexagonal boron nitride can be grown using a chemical vapour deposition process on iron-nickel foil and integrated into a large array of graphene devices that exhibit room-temperature carrier mobilities of up to around 10,000 cm(2) V-1 s(-1).","","","","","","","","","","","",106,109,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,6,2,"","","","",126,"+","","10.1038/s41928-022-00911-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41928-022-00911-x","","FEB 2023","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000926319900002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, we developed a Cage-on-MOF strategy to tune the recognition and catalytic properties of MOFs without impairing their porosity. Two types of porous coordination cages (PCCs) of opposite charges containing secondary binding groups were developed to coordinatively functionalize two distinct porous MOFs, namely MOF@PCC nanocomposites. We demonstrated that the surface-capped PCCs can act as modulators to effectively tune the surface charge, stability, and adsorption behavior of different host MOF particles. More importantly, the MOF@PCCs can serve as selective heterogeneous catalysts for condensation reactions to achieve reversed product selectivity and excellent recyclability. This work sets the foundation for using molecular cages as porous surface-capping agents to functionalize and manipulate another porous material, without affecting the intrinsic properties of the parent framework. Functionalising porous materials is a route to enhancing properties of hybrid materials. Here authors present a Cage-on-MOF strategy to modify the surface of mesoporous MOFs by using molecular cages to achieve selective dyes adsorption behavior and heterogeneous catalysis.","","","","","","","","","","","",78,80,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 26",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",5223,"10.1038/s41467-023-40973-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40973-9","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001064563400011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is an AM process that can produce large metallic components with low material waste and high production rates. Typically, WAAM enables over 10-times the volumetric deposition rates of powder-based AM processes. However, the high depositions rates of WAAM require high heat input to melt the large volume of material, which in turn results in potential flaws such as pores, cracks, distortion, loss of mechanical properties and low dimensional accuracy. Hence, for practical implementation of the WAAM process in an industrial environment it is necessary to ensure flaw-free production. Accordingly, to guarantee the production-level scalability of WAAM it is fundamental to monitor and detect flaw formation during the process. The objective of this work is to characterize the effects of different contaminations on the acoustic spectrum of WAAM and lay the foundations for a microphone-based acoustic sensing approach for monitoring the quality of WAAM-fabricated parts. To realize this objective, WAAM parts were processed with deliberately introduced flaws, such as material contamination, and the acoustic signals were analyzed using the time and frequency domain techniques, namely, Power Spectral Density, and Short Time Fourier Transform. The signatures obtained were used to pinpoint the location of flaw formation. The results obtained in this study show that the effects of contamination in WAAM can be identified through the analysis of the acoustic spectrum of the process.","","","","","","","","","","","",109,114,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2022,51,"","","","","","","",102585,"10.1016/j.addma.2021.102585","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2021.102585","","JAN 2022","","","","Engineering; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000787266000002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Polycrystalline strengths show no systematic trend with different processing conditions. Measured misfit volumes in NiCoCr are consistent with those in random binaries. Yield strength prediction of a random NiCoCr alloy matches well with experiments. Finally, we show that standard spin-polarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations of misfit volumes are not accurate for NiCoCr. This implies that DFT may be inaccurate for other subtle structural quantities such as atom-atom bond distance so that caution is required in drawing conclusions about NiCoCr based on DFT.

["J","Zheng, YF","","","","Zheng, Yong-Fei","","","Subduction zone geochemistry","GEOSCIENCE FRONTIERS","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Crustal recycling at convergent plate boundaries is essential to mantle heterogeneity. However, crustal signatures in the mantle source of basaltic rocks above subduction zones were primarily incorporated in the form of liquid rather than solid phases. The physicochemical property of liquid phases is determined by the dehydration behavior of crustal rocks at the slab-mantle interface in subduction channels. Because of the significant fractionation in incompatible trace elements but the full inheritance in radiogenic isotopes relative to their crustal sources, the production of liquid phases is crucial to the geochemical transfer from the subducting crust into the mantle. In this process, the stability of specific minerals in subducting crustal rocks exerts a primary control on the enrichment of given trace elements in the liquid phases. For this reason, geochemically enriched oceanic basalts can be categorized into two types in terms of their trace element distribution patterns in the primitive mantle-normalized diagram. One is island arc basalts (LAB), showing enrichment in LILE, Pb and LREE but depletion in HFSE such as Nb and Ta relative to HREE. The other is ocean island basalts (OIB), exhibiting enrichment in LILE and LREE, enrichment or non-depletion in HFSE but depletion in Pb relative to HREE. In either types, these basalts show the enhanced enrichment of LILE and LREE with increasing their incompatibility relative to normal mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORB). The thermal regime of subduction zones can be categorized into two stages in both time and space. The first stage is characterized by compressional tectonism at low thermal gradients. As a consequence, metamorphic dehydration of the subducting crust prevails at forearc to subarc depths due to the breakdown of hydrous minerals such as mica and amphibole in the stability field of garnet and rutile, resulting in the liberation of aqueous solutions with the trace element composition that is considerably enriched in LILE, Pb and LREE but depleted in HFSE and HREE relative to normal MORB. This provides the crustal signature for the mantle sources of LAB. The second stage is indicated by extensional tectonism at high thermal gradients, leading to the partial melting of metamorphically dehydrated crustal rocks at subarc to postarc depths. This involves not only the breakdown of hydrous minerals such as amphibole, phengite and allanite in the stability field of garnet but also the dissolution of rutile into hydrous melts. As such, the hydrous melts can acquire the trace element composition that is significantly enriched in LILE, HFSE and LREE but depleted in Pb and HREE relative to normal MORB, providing the crustal signature for the mantle sources of OIB. In either case, these liquid phases would metasomatize the overlying mantle wedge peridotite at different depths, generating ultramafic metasomatites such as serpentinized and chloritized peridotites, and olivine-poor pyroxenites and hornblendites. As a consequence, the crustal signatures are transferred by the liquid phases from the subducting slab into the mantle. (C) 2019, China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University.

The strength of the pile-soil system is influenced by variations in the water content of the soil. At present, there are no studies carried out analyzing the mechanical and deformational behavior of both the material of the laterally loaded piles and soil with groundwater level as a variable. In this paper, a series of 1-g model tests were conducted to explore the lateral behavior of both soil and monopile under unidirectional cyclic loading, based on the foundation of an offshore wind turbine near the island. The influence of underground water level and cyclic load magnitude on the performance of the pile-soil system was analyzed. To visualize the movements of soil particles during the experimental process, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to record the soil displacement field under various cyclic loading conditions. The relationship curves between pile top displacement and cyclic steps, as well as the relationship curves between cyclic stiffness and cyclic steps, were displayed. Combined with fractal theory, the fractal dimension of each curve was calculated to evaluate the sensitivity of the pile-soil interaction system. The results showed that cyclic loading conditions and groundwater depth are the main factors affecting the pile-soil interaction. The cyclic stiffness of the soil increased in all test groups as loading progressed; however, an increase in the cyclic load magnitude decreased the initial and cyclic stiffness. The initial and cyclic stiffness of dry soil was higher than that of saturated soil, but less than that of unsaturated soil. The ability of the unsaturated soil to limit the lateral displacement of the pile decreased as the depth of the groundwater level dropped. The greater the fluctuation of the pile top displacement, the larger the fractal dimension of each relationship curve, with a variation interval of roughly 1.24-1.38. The average increment of the cumulative pile top displacement between each cycle step following the cyclic loading was positively correlated with fractal dimension. Based on the PIV results, the changes in the pile-soil system were predominantly focused in the early stages of the experiment, and the short-term effects of lateral cyclic loading are greater than the long-term effects. In addition, this research was limited to a single soil layer. The pile-soil interaction under layered soil is investigated, and the results will be used in more complex ground conditions in the future.","","","","","","","","","","","",77,77,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2022,6,4,"","","","","","",198,"10.3390/fractalfract6040198","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/fractalfract6040198","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000785076500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Better understanding of the association of this parasite and its host is critical to developing sustainable management practices. Our work shows that this parasite is not consuming hemolymph, as has been the accepted view, but damages host bees by consuming fat body, a tissue roughly analogous to the mammalian liver. Both hemolymph and fat body in honey bees were marked with fluorescent biostains. The fluorescence profile in the guts of mites allowed to feed on these bees was very different from that of the hemolymph of the host bee but consistently matched the fluorescence profile unique to the fat body. Via transmission electron microscopy, we observed externally digested fat body tissue in the wounds of parasitized bees. Mites in their reproductive phase were then fed a diet composed of one or both tissues. Mites fed hemolymph showed fitness metrics no different from the starved control. Mites fed fat body survived longer and produced more eggs than those fed hemolymph, suggesting that fat body is integral to their diet when feeding on brood as well. Collectively, these findings strongly suggest that Varroa are exploiting the fat body as their primary source of sustenance: a tissue integral to proper immune function, pesticide detoxification, overwinter survival, and several other essential processes in healthy bees. These findings underscore a need to revisit our understanding of this parasite and its impacts, both direct and indirect, on honey bee health.","","","","","","","","","","","",426,491,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 29",2019,116,5,"","","","",1792,1801,"","10.1073/pnas.1818371116","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1818371116","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000456944600052","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To ensure the sustainable production of polymers and functional materials, alternative feedstocks are required. This Perspective examines this challenge in the context of an emerging class of polymers made from elemental sulfur. Because sulfur is a by-product of the petroleum industry, converting it into useful polymers and related materials is an advance in waste valorisation. Additionally, co-polymerisation of sulfur with renewable monomers represents an additional contribution to sustainability. These reactions are often solvent free and benefit from full atom economy, futher augmenting their Green Chemistry credentials. Applications of these materials will be discussed, with a spotlight on environmental benefits. A forward looking assessment of the opportunities for using sulfur polymers in Green Chemistry is also included.","","","","","","","","","","","",327,342,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 21",2017,19,12,"","","","",2748,2761,"","10.1039/c7gc00014f","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c7gc00014f","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000403572700004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

W.","","","Electrically driven organic laser using integrated OLED pumping","NATURE","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Organic semiconductors are carbon-based materials that combine optoelectronic properties with simple fabrication and the scope for tuning by changing their chemical structure(1-3). They have been successfully used to make organic light-emitting diodes(2,4,5) (OLEDs, now widely found in mobile phone displays and televisions), solar cells(1), transistors(6) and sensors(7). However, making electrically driven organic semiconductor lasers is very challenging(8,9). It is difficult because organic semiconductors typically support only low current densities, suffer substantial absorption from injected charges and triplets, and have additional losses due to contacts(10,11). In short, injecting charges into the gain medium leads to intolerable losses. Here we take an alternative approach in which charge injection and lasing are spatially separated, thereby greatly reducing losses. We achieve this by developing an integrated device structure that efficiently couples an OLED, with exceptionally high internal-light generation, with a polymer distributed feedback laser. Under the electrical driving of the integrated structure, we observe a threshold in light output versus drive current, with a narrow emission spectrum and the formation of a beam above the threshold. These observations confirm lasing. Our results provide an organic electronic device that has not been previously demonstrated, and show that indirect electrical pumping by an OLED is a very effective way of realizing an electrically driven organic semiconductor laser. This provides an approach to visible lasers that could see applications in spectroscopy, metrology and sensing.","","","","","","","","","","","",70,72,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 28",2023,621,7980,"","","","",746,"+","","10.1038/s41586-023-06488-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06488-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001096527500026","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Moreover, XRD, FTIR, EDX and UV vis DRS analyses were performed to study the crystalline structure, functional groups, elemental composition and optical properties of the samples, respectively. ZnO-BC nanocomposite showed better sonocatalytic performance than BC and ZnO NRs owing to its huge surface area, narrow band gap and enhanced sonoluminescence phenomenon. These properties led to the synergetic ability of ultrasonic irradiation and catalytic activity of ZnO-BC to generate reactive species and subsequent radical reactions. In addition, the effect of the addition of various gases and scavengers on the removal of GMF was evaluated. The GC MS analysis was used to verify the generation of some intermediates and a possible pathway was proposed accordingly. 83.7% COD removal efficiency was observed within 90 min treatment confirming efficient mineralization of GMF solution.

These QPTs can be classified with respect to the presence and strength of quenched disorder: Clean systems generically show a discontinuous, or first-order, QPT from a ferromagnetic to a paramagnetic state as a function of some control parameter, as predicted by theory. Disordered systems are much more complicated, depending on the disorder strength and the distance from the QPT. In many disordered materials the QPT is continuous, or second order, and Griffiths-phase effects coexist with QPT singularities near the transition. In other systems the transition from the ferromagnetic state at low temperatures is to a different type of long-range order, such as an antiferromagnetic or a spin-density-wave state. In still other materials a transition to a state with glasslike spin dynamics is suspected. The review provides a comprehensive discussion of the current understanding of these various transitions and of the relation between experiment and theory.","","","","","","","","","","","",276,303,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 31",2016,88,2,"","","","","","",25006,"10.1103/RevModPhys.88.025006","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.88.025006","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000376927900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The aim of this study was to characterize the miRNA profiles of serum exosomes and to identify those that are altered in colorectal cancer (CRC). To evaluate their use as diagnostic biomarkers, the relationship between specific exosomal miRNA levels and pathological changes of patients, including disease stage and tumor resection, was examined. Experimental Design: Microarray analyses of miRNAs in exosome-enriched fractions of serum samples from 88 primary CRC patients and 11 healthy controls were performed. The expression levels of miRNAs in the culture medium of five colon cancer cell lines were also compared with those in the culture medium of a normal colon-derived cell line. The expression profiles of miRNAs that were differentially expressed between CRC and control sample sets were verified using 29 paired samples from post-tumor resection patients. The sensitivities of selected miRNAs as biomarkers of CRC were evaluated and compared with those of known tumor markers (CA19-9 and CEA) using a receiver operating characteristic analysis. The expression levels of selected miRNAs were also validated by quantitative real-time RT-PCR analyses of an independent set of 13 CRC patients. Results: The serum exosomal levels of seven miRNAs (let-7a, miR-1229, miR-1246, miR-150, miR-21, miR-223, and miR-23a) were significantly higher in primary CRC patients, even those with early stage disease, than in healthy controls, and were significantly down-regulated after surgical resection of tumors. These miRNAs were also secreted at significantly higher levels by colon cancer cell lines than by a normal colon-derived cell line. The high sensitivities of the seven selected exosomal miRNAs were confirmed by a receiver operating characteristic analysis. Conclusion: Exosomal miRNA signatures appear to mirror pathological changes of CRC patients and several miRNAs are promising biomarkers for non-invasive diagnosis of the disease.","","","","","","","","","","","",683,726,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 4",2014,9,4,"","","","","","","e92921","10.1371/journal.pone.0092921","http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0092921","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000334107500022","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The lack of progress in developing effective treatment strategies is largely due to the transport barriers posed by the stratum corneum of the skin and the biofilm.

We outline the syntheses of ILs, analysis of relevant physicochemical properties, and subsequent neutralization effects on two biofilm-forming pathogens: Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enterica. Further, the ILs were also examined for cytotoxicity, skin irritation, delivery of antibiotics through the skin, and treatment of biofilms in a wound model. Of the materials examined, choline-geranate emerged as a multipurpose IL with excellent antimicrobial activity, minimal toxicity to epithelial cells as well as skin, and effective permeation enhancement for drug delivery. Specifically, choline-geranate was comparable with, or more effective than, bleach treatment against established biofilms of S. enterica and P. aeruginosa, respectively. In addition, choline-geranate increased delivery of cefadroxil, an antibiotic, by > 16-fold into the deep tissue layers of the skin without inducing skin irritation. The in vivo efficacy of choline-geranate was validated using a biofilm-infected wound model (> 95% bacterial death after 2-h treatment).

Techniques based on machine-learning ideas for interpolating the Born-Oppenheimer potential energy surface without explicitly describing electrons have recently shown great promise, but accurately and efficiently fitting the physically relevant space of configurations remains a challenging goal. Here, we present a Gaussian approximation potential for silicon that achieves this milestone, accurately reproducing density-functional-theory reference results for a wide range of observable properties, including crystal, liquid, and amorphous bulk phases, as well as point, line, and plane defects. We demonstrate that this new potential enables calculations such as finite-temperature phase-boundary lines, self-diffusivity in the liquid, formation of the amorphous by slow quench, and dynamic brittle fracture, all of which are very expensive with a first-principles method. We show that the uncertainty quantification inherent to the Gaussian process regression framework gives a qualitative estimate of the potential's accuracy for a given atomic configuration. The success of this model shows that it is indeed possible to create a useful machine-learning-based interatomic potential that comprehensively describes a material on the atomic scale and serves as a template for the development of such models in the future.","","","","","","","","","","","",447,508,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 14",2018,8,4,"","","","","","",41048,"10.1103/PhysRevX.8.041048","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.8.041048","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000453474000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

An accelerated stress test (AST) is proposed, mimicking a fluctuating power supply by operating the electrolyzer cell between high (3 A cm(geo)(-2)) and low current densities (0.1 A cm(geo)(-2)), alternating with idle periods during which no current is supplied and the cell rests at open circuit voltage (OCV). Polarization curves, periodically recorded during the OCV-AST, reveal an initial increase in activity (approximate to 50 mV after 10 cycles) followed by a significant decrease in performance during prolonged OCV cycling due to an increasing high frequency resistance (HFR) (approximate to 1.6-fold after 718 cycles). These performance changes can clearly be related to the OCV periods, since they are not observed in a reference experiment where the OCV period is replaced by a potential hold at 1.3 V. The origin of the phenomena, which are responsible for the initial performance gain as well as the subsequent decay are analyzed via detailed electrochemical and physical characterization of the MEAs, and an operating strategy to prevent performance degradation is proposed.

However, SOT generated by an in-plane current cannot deterministically switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet due to symmetry reasons. On the other hand, perpendicularly polarized magnets are preferred over in-plane magnets for high-density data storage applications due to their significantly larger thermal stability in ultrascaled dimensions. Here, we show that it is possible to switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet by SOT without needing an external magnetic field. This is accomplished by engineering an anisotropy in the magnets such that the magnetic easy axis slightly tilts away from the direction, normal to the film plane. Such a tilted anisotropy breaks the symmetry of the problem and makes it possible to switch the magnet deterministically. Using a simple Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta heterostructure, we demonstrate reversible switching of the magnetization by reversing the polarity of the applied current.

Such a high value is attributed to the synergistic optimization of carrier and phonon transports by Ag2Te introducing and the dynamic doping of Ag.

The strategies used here provide an effective method for designing high-performance thermoelectric material systems.","","","","","","","","","","","",169,172,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2022,91,"","","","","","","",106706,"10.1016/j.nanoen.2021.106706","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nanoen.2021.106706","","NOV 2021","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000720184500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, the temperature-dependent Li+ behavior during Li plating is profiled by various characterization techniques, suggesting that Li+ diffusion through the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is the key rate-determining step. Lowering the temperature not only slows down Li+ transport, but also alters the thermodynamic reaction of electrolyte decomposition, resulting in different reaction pathways and forming an SEI layer consisting of intermediate products rich in organic species. Such an SEI layer is metastable and unsuitable for efficient Li+ transport. By tuning the solvation structure of the electrolyte with a lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level and polar groups, such as fluorinated electrolytes like 1 mol L-1 lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) in methyl trifluoroacetate (MTFA): fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) (8:2, weight ratio), an inorganic-rich SEI layer more readily forms, which exhibits enhanced tolerance to a change of working temperature (thermodynamics) and improved Li+ transport (kinetics). Our findings uncover the kinetic bottleneck for Li+ transport at low temperature and provide directions to enhance the reaction kinetics/thermodynamics and low-temperature performance by constructing inorganic-rich interphases. High-performance lithium metal batteries operating below -20 & DEG;C are desired but hindered by slow reaction kinetics.

A low omega(m) of similar to 0.5 THz in Ag(9)GaSe(6)due to its large N and weakly bonded Ag atoms leads this material to be one of the least thermally conductive dense solids (kL similar to 0.15 W/m K).

Successful colonization of a surface by a bacterial community is typically a detriment to human health and property. Insight into the biofilm life-cycle provides clues on how their proliferation can be suppressed. In this review, we follow a cell through the cycle of attachment, growth, and departure from a colony. Among the abundance of factors that guide the three phases, we focus on hydrodynamics and stratum properties due to the synergistic effect such properties have on bacteria rejection and removal. Cell motion, whether facilitated by the environment via medium flow or self-actuated by use of an appendage, drastically improves the survivability of a bacterium. Once in the vicinity of a stratum, a single cell is exposed to near-surface interactions, such as van der Waals, electrostatic and specific interactions, similarly to any other colloidal particle. The success of the attachment and the potential for detachment is heavily influenced by surface properties such as material type and topography. The growth of the colony is similarly guided by mainstream flow and the convective transport throughout the biofilm. Beyond the growth phase, hydrodynamic traction forces on a biofilm can elicit strongly non-linear viscoelastic responses from the biofilm soft matter. As the colony exhausts the means of survival at a particular location, a set of trigger signals activates mechanisms of bacterial release, a life-cycle phase also facilitated by fluid flow. A review of biofilm-relevant hydrodynamics and startum properties provides insight into future research avenues. (C) 2020 The Authors.

Here, the authors demonstrate optically detected magnetic resonance at room temperature for single defects in a two-dimensional material, hexagonal boron nitride. Optically addressable solid-state spins are important platforms for quantum technologies, such as repeaters and sensors. Spins in two-dimensional materials offer an advantage, as the reduced dimensionality enables feasible on-chip integration into devices. Here, we report room-temperature optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) from single carbon-related defects in hexagonal boron nitride with up to 100 times stronger contrast than the ensemble average. We identify two distinct bunching timescales in the second-order intensity-correlation measurements for ODMR-active defects, but only one for those without an ODMR response. We also observe either positive or negative ODMR signal for each defect. Based on kinematic models, we relate this bipolarity to highly tuneable internal optical rates. Finally, we resolve an ODMR fine structure in the form of an angle-dependent doublet resonance, indicative of weak but finite zero-field splitting. Our results offer a promising route towards realising a room-temperature spin-photon quantum interface in hexagonal boron nitride.","","","","","","","","","","","",135,147,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 1",2022,13,1,"","","","","","",618,"10.1038/s41467-022-28169-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-28169-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000749535300006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Specifically, the greatly disparate charge densities on electrode surfaces render different orientations of interfacial water under alkaline and acid oxygen reduction conditions, thereby affecting the formation of hydrogen bonds between the surface oxygenated intermediates and the interfacial water molecules, eventually controlling the kinetics of the proton-coupled electron transfer steps.

These data enhance the assessment of climate change risks, including extreme events, and offer a powerful testbed for new methodologies aimed at separating forced signals from internal variability in the observational record. Opportunities and challenges confronting the design and dissemination of future LEs, including increased spatial resolution and model complexity alongside emerging Earth system applications, are discussed.

There is a tremendous opportunity for maximizing energy production by applying different reliable waste biomass as a renewable, affordable, and excellent resource. As a result of renewable hydrocarbons such as biomass, bioenergy is produced, green chemicals are manufactured, and carbon materials are made. Furthermore, biomass can be utilized as a source of advanced carbon materials. Carbon materials derived from biomass can also be used to support catalysts in fuel cells with polymer electrolyte membranes. For the fabrication of electrochemical sensors, porous carbonaceous materials generated from biomass are highly advised owing to their specific qualities, including regenerative nature, affordability, distinctive structure, and sustainability. The surface morphology of the sensor, especially its pore volume, surface area, and pore size affects both its electrochemical and catalytic activity. Metal nanoparticle activation, doping, and dispersion are just a few of the methods that may be used to improve the performance of sensors. To detect a variety of target analytes, such as biomolecules, metal ions, contaminants, food additives, and flavonoids, some of the key or seminal advances in the field of biomass-derived carbonaceous compounds are discussed. The materials and composites made of biomass-derived carbon will be in-depth examined, evaluated, and compared in this review. The associated technological difficulties are also discussed, and future research areas are suggested for use in practical applications. Nano carbon materials have several integrated advantages, including good electrical conductivity, structural and chemical flexibility, reduced chemical functionalization, and bulk production potential, making them viable candidates for various electrochemical processes. In the coming years, bio-carbon production from waste biomass is expected to gain rapid scientific and industrial interest because it will be used in electrochemical devices and rechargeable batteries.

In this study, the charge transport in composite cathodes composed of Li6PS5Cl and NCM-622 is analyzed and characterized in terms of the effective ionic and electronic partial conductivities. The correlations between these effective conductivities, the microstructure of the composite cathodes, and the all-solid-state cell performance are revealed. By quantifying these correlations, bottlenecks for charge transport in composite cathodes are identified and strategies to optimize the cell performance are developed. The optimization potential of these strategies is demonstrated exemplarily by tuning electronic and ionic charge transport pathways using high active material loadings and an adjusted solid electrolyte particle size, respectively.

Multi-omics clustering revealed four subgroups defined by key driver mutations, country, and gender. Proteomic and phosphoproteomic data illuminated biology downstream of copy number aberrations, somatic mutations, and fusions and identified therapeutic vulnerabilities associated with driver events involving KRAS, EGFR, and ALK. Immune subtyping revealed a complex landscape, reinforced the association of STK11 with immune-cold behavior, and underscored a potential immunosuppressive role of neutrophil degranulation.

This is exploited in a graphene-MoS2-based photovoltaic device. Stacking order in van der Waals materials determines the coupling between atomic layers and is therefore the key to materials' properties. Recently, ferroelectricity, a phenomenon exhibiting reversible spontaneous electrical polarization, has been observed in zero-degree aligned van der Waals structures. In these artificial stacks, the single-domain size is limited by angle misalignment. Here we show that naturally rhombohedrally stacked MoS2 can host a homogeneous spontaneous polarization throughout the exfoliated flakes, free of misalignment. Utilizing this homogeneous polarization and its induced depolarization field, we build a graphene-MoS2-based photovoltaic device with high efficiency. Few-layer MoS2 is thinner than most oxide-based ferroelectric films, which allows us to maximize the depolarization field and study its impact at the atomically thin limit, whereas the highly uniform polarization in the commensurate crystal enables a tangible path for upscaling. The external quantum efficiency of our device is up to 16% at room temperature, over one order larger than the highest efficiency observed in bulk photovoltaic devices, owing to the reduced screening in graphene, exciton-enhanced light-matter interaction and ultrafast interlayer relaxation. Our findings make rhombohedral transition metal dichalcogenides a promising candidate for applications such as energy-efficient photodetection with high speed and programmable polarity.","","","","","","","","","","","",85,88,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2022,16,6,"","","","",469,"+","","10.1038/s41566-022-01008-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41566-022-01008-9","","MAY 2022","","","","Optics; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000805500200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A fine example is in the CO2 reduction reaction, of which rate shows a strong dependence on the alkali metal cation (M+) identity, but there is yet to be a unified molecular picture for that. Using quantum-mechanics-based atom-scale simulation, we herein scrutinize the M+-coupling capability to possible intermediates, and establish H+- and M+-associated ET mechanisms for CH4 and CO/C2H4 formations, respectively. These theoretical scenarios are successfully underpinned by Nernstian shifts of polarization curves with the H+ or M+ concentrations and the first-order kinetics of CO/C2H4 formation on the electrode surface charge density. Our finding further rationalizes the merit of using Nafion-coated electrode for enhanced C2 production in terms of enhanced surface charge density. CO2 reduction rate shows a strong dependence on alkali metal cation identity but a unified molecular picture for underlying mechanism requires further investigation.

Here, one effective interfacial defect and carrier dynamics management strategy by synergistic modulation of functional groups and spatial conformation of ammonium salt molecules is proposed. The surface treatment with 3-ammonium propionic acid iodide (3-APAI) does not form 2D perovskite passivation layer while the propylammonium ions and 5-aminopentanoic acid hydroiodide post-treatment lead to the formation of 2D perovskite passivation layers. Due to appropriate alkyl chain length, theoretical and experimental results manifest that -COOH and -NH3+ groups in 3-APAI molecules can form coordination bonding with undercoordinated Pb2+ and ionic bonding and hydrogen bonding with octahedron PbI64-, respectively, which makes both groups be simultaneously firmly anchored on the surface of perovskite films. This will strengthen defect passivation effect and improve interfacial carrier transport and transfer. The synergistic effect of functional groups and spatial conformation confers 3-APAI better defect passivation effect than 2D perovskite layers. The 3-APAI-modified device based on vacuum flash technology achieves an alluring peak efficiency of 24.72% (certified 23.68%), which is among highly efficient devices fabricated without antisolvents. Furthermore, the encapsulated 3-APAI-modified device degrades by less than 4% after 1400 h of continuous one sun illumination.","","","","","","","","","","","",72,74,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2023,35,23,"","","","","","","","10.1002/adma.202301028","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.202301028","","APR 2023","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000974366700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It outlines a multi-scale, hierarchical framework for developing process-based understanding of catchment to reach hydromorphology that can aid design and delivery of sustainable river management solutions. The framework was developed within the REFORM (REstoring rivers FOR effective catchment Management) project, funded by the European Union's FP7 Programme. Specific aspects of this 'REFORM framework' and some applications are presented in other papers in this special issue. The REFORM framework is founded on previous hierarchical frameworks, sixteen examples of which are reviewed. However, the REFORM framework has some particular properties that reflect the European context for which it was developed. The framework delineates regional landscapes into nested spatial units at catchment, landscape unit, segment, reach, geomorphic unit and finer scales. Reaches, regardless of their 'naturalness', are assigned to a river type based on valley confinement, planform and bed material. Indicators are quantified at each spatial scale to feed three groups of assessments. First, contemporary indicators at reach and geomorphic unit scales investigate present processes, forms and human pressures within each reach. These feed assessments of present reach hydromorphological function/alteration, including whether the reach is functioning appropriately for its type; riparian corridor function and alteration; and hydromorphological adjustment. Second, indicators at catchment to segment scales investigate water and sediment production and delivery to reaches and how these are affected by human pressures now and in the past. These are used to construct an inventory of changes over space and time. Third, historical reach and geomorphic unit scale indicators are used to construct the trajectory of reach-scale changes. Contemporary reach-scale assessments, space-time inventory, and trajectory of changes are then combined to establish how river reaches of different type, subject to different human pressures, and located in different environmental contexts behave in response to changes at all considered spatial scales. These support forecasts of the likely responses of reaches to future scenarios (e.g., changes in climate, land cover, channel interventions).","","","","","","","","","","","",192,200,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2016,78,1,"","","","",1,16,"","10.1007/s00027-015-0424-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00027-015-0424-5","","","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Marine & Freshwater Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000367916700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Disordered soft materials, such as foams, emulsions and colloidal suspensions, switch from fluid-like to solid-like behaviours at a jamming transition(1-4). Similarly, cell collectives have been shown to display glassy dynamics in 2D and 3D(5,6) and jamming in cultured epithelial monolayers(7,)(8), behaviours recently predicted theoretically(9-11) and proposed to influence asthma pathobiology(8) and tumour progression(12). However, little is known about whether these seemingly universal behaviours occur in vivo(13) and, specifically, whether they play any functional part during embryonic morphogenesis. Here, by combining direct in vivo measurements of tissue mechanics with analysis of cellular dynamics, we show that during vertebrate body axis elongation, posterior tissues undergo a jamming transition from a fluid-like behaviour at the extending end, the mesodermal progenitor zone, to a solid-like behaviour in the presomitic mesoderm. We uncover an anteroposterior, N-cadherindependent gradient in yield stress that provides increasing mechanical integrity to the presomitic mesoderm, consistent with the tissue transiting from a wetter to a dryer foam-like architecture. Our results show that cell-scale stresses fluctuate rapidly (within about 1 min), enabling cell rearrangements and effectively 'melting' the tissue at the growing end. Persistent (more than 0.5 h) stresses at supracellular scales, rather than cell-scale stresses, guide morphogenetic flows in fluid-like tissue regions. Unidirectional axis extension is sustained by the reported rigidification of the presomitic mesoderm, which mechanically supports posterior, fluid-like tissues during remodelling before their maturation. The spatiotemporal control of fluid-like and solid-like tissue states may represent a generic physical mechanism of embryonic morphogenesis.","","","","","","","","","","","",445,493,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 20",2018,561,7723,"","","","",401,"+","","10.1038/s41586-018-0479-2","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0479-2","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000445011500056","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The physical mechanisms governing LIPSS regularity are identified and linked with the decay length (i.e. the mean free path) of the excited surface electromagnetic waves (SEWs). The dispersion of the LIPSS orientation angle well correlates with the SEWs decay length: the shorter this length, the more regular are the LIPSS. A material dependent criterion for obtaining HR-LIPSS is proposed for a large variety of metallic materials. It has been found that decreasing the spot size close to the SEW decay length is a key for covering several cm(2) of material surface by HR-LIPSS in a few seconds. Theoretical predictions suggest that reducing the laser wavelength can provide the possibility of HR-LIPSS production on principally any metal. This new achievement in the unprecedented level of control over the laser-induced periodic structure formation makes this laser-writing technology to be flexible, robust and, hence, highly competitive for advanced industrial applications based on surface nanostructuring.","","","","","","","","","","","",286,296,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 16",2017,7,"","","","","","","",8485,"10.1038/s41598-017-08788-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-08788-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000407677800039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, there has been no critical assessment of the limitations of XAS in substantiating such conclusive statements, which is particularly important given the potential outsized influence of minority catalyst structures in dictating catalytic activity.

We identified that a significant fraction of clusters can coexist with SAC active sites (e.g., similar to 10% metallic Pt or similar to 40% oxidized Pt clusters in Pt/CeO2 SACs), while eluding detection via EXAFS with any statistical significance. To generalize these conclusions, a descriptor -based screening of bulk metal oxides using a continuous Cauchy wavelet transform was proposed that suggests certain materials for which differentiating atomically dispersed metal species and metal oxide clusters would be infeasible by EXAFS (e.g., ReOx). Based on this analysis, we suggest best practices for the study of SACs using EXAFS and provide recommendations to ensure that conclusions do not outpace the evidence used to support them. In this rapidly expanding research area, rigorous characterization will lead to greater understanding of the behavior of SACs and ultimately improved catalytic materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",94,97,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 5",2023,13,9,"","","","",6462,6473,"","10.1021/acscatal.3c01116","http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.3c01116","","APR 2023","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000981759800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The study intends to explore the role of interaction pattern at the iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP)-bacteria interface affecting antimicrobial propensity of IONP. To this end, IONP with magnetite like atomic arrangement and negative surface potential (n-IONP) was synthesized by co-precipitation method. Positively charged chitosan molecule coating was used to reverse the surface potential of n-IONP, i.e. positive surface potential IONP (p-IONP). The comparative data from fourier transform infrared spectroscope, XRD, and zeta potential analyzer indicated the successful coating of IONP surface with chitosan molecule. Additionally, the nanocrystals obtained were found to have spherical size with 10-20 nm diameter. The BacLight fluorescence assay, bacterial growth kinetic and colony forming unit studies indicated that n-IONP (< 50 mu M) has insignificant antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. However, coating with chitosan molecule resulted significant increase in antimicrobial propensity of IONP. Additionally, the assay to study reactive oxygen species (ROS) indicated relatively higher ROS production upon p-IONP treatment of the bacteria. The data, altogether, indicated that the chitosan coating of IONP result in interface that enhances ROS production, hence the antimicrobial activity.","","","","","","","","","","","",495,527,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 6",2015,5,"","","","","","","",14813,"10.1038/srep14813","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep14813","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000362278000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

By applying an explicitly spatial lens to conceptualize energy poverty as a form of injustice, it contributes to debates in the domain of 'energy justice', where previous examinations of energy deprivation through a justice framing have focused on inequalities between social groups and often marginalized questions of spatial difference. We start from the premise that geographic disparities in the risk and incidence of domestic energy deprivation are a key component of energy justice. An extensive literature review has allowed us to highlight the spatial and temporal variation of cross-sectoral and entire-energy-chain injustices that lead to elevated energy poverty risks. These processes contribute to the rise of energy injustices via four mechanisms which we term landscapes of material deprivation, geographic underpinnings of energy affordability, vicious cycles of vulnerability, and spaces of misrecognition operating at a multiplicity of scales. While lending some support to area-based approaches towards energy poverty alleviation, our findings also suggest that such policies alone may marginalize the underlying structural dynamics that (re)produce spatial inequalities. Therefore, achieving energy justice necessitates broader interventions in the fundamental driving forces of spatial inequality.","","","","","","","","","","","",305,328,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2017,107,"","","","","",640,648,"","10.1016/j.enpol.2017.03.064","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2017.03.064","","","","","","Business & Economics; Energy & Fuels; Environmental Sciences & Ecology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000405158200063","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Graded material properties of stainless steel 304 were observed for wear and hardness in the direction of deposition and in Z height, due to variations in local thermal histories of the metal. Wear rates decreased significantly (p = 5.6 x 10(-12) by one-way ANOVA) along the length of the deposited material, from K = 2.62 x 10(-5 )mm(3)/N m (+/- 2.32 x 10(-6) mm(3)/N m), to K= 0.63 mm3 x 10(-5) mm3/N m (+/-3.08 x 10-6 mm(3)/N m), whereas microhardness values increased significantly (p similar to 0 by one-way ANOVA) along the same path from mu = 202.3 HV and sigma = 5.82 HV to 210.9 HV and sigma = 5.91 HV. The yield and ultimate strength, however, were not found to be statistically significantly different (p = 0.55) along the direction of deposition for SS304. During wear testing, a grain refinement was observed directly beneath the wear scar in these materials in a focused ion beam channel observed under scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, no significant difference in yield strength was observed in printed mild steel (ER70S) between vertical and horizontal specimens. The observed graded mechanical properties in stainless steel 304 allow the opportunity for varying the processing conditions to design parts with locally optimized or functionally graded mechanical properties.

Future impacts will be dependent on the level and rate of socioeconomic development, along with material use and supply strategies. Here we evaluate material-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for residential and commercial buildings along with their reduction potentials in 26 global regions by 2060. For a middle-of-the-road baseline scenario, building material-related emissions see an increase of 3.5 to 4.6 Gt CO2eq yr-1 between 2020-2060. Low- and lower-middle-income regions see rapid emission increase from 750 Mt (22% globally) in 2020 and 2.4 Gt (51%) in 2060, while higher-income regions shrink in both absolute and relative terms. Implementing several material efficiency strategies together in a High Efficiency (HE) scenario could almost half the baseline emissions. Yet, even in this scenario, the building material sector would require double its current proportional share of emissions to meet a 1.5 degrees C-compatible target. Building construction causes large material-related emissions which present a serious decarbonization challenge. Here, the authors show that the building material sector could halve emissions by increasing efficiency until 2060 but even then its emissions would be twice as high as needed to meet the 1.5 degrees C target.","","","","","","","","","","","",199,205,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 21",2021,12,1,"","","","","","",6126,"10.1038/s41467-021-26212-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-26212-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000710514300010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We present the first continuous late Paleozoic to present-day global plate model with evolving plate boundaries, building on and extending two previously published models for the late Paleozoic (410-250 Ma) and Mesozoic-Cenozoic (230-0 Ma). We ensure continuity during the 250-230 Ma transition period between the two models, update the absolute reference frame of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic model and add a new Paleozoic reconstruction for the Baltica-derived Alexander Terrane, now accreted to western North America. This 410-0 Ma open access model provides a framework for deep time whole Earth modelling and acts as a base for future extensions and refinement. We analyse the model in terms of the number of plates, predicted plate size distribution, plate and continental root mean square (RMS) speeds, plate velocities and trench migration through time. Overall model trends share many similarities to those for recent times, which we use as a first order benchmark against which to compare the model and identify targets for future model refinement. Except for during the period similar to 260-160 Ma, the number of plates (16-46) and ratio of large plates (>= 10(7.5) km(2)) to smaller plates (similar to 2.7-6.6) are fairly similar to present-day values (46 and 6.6, respectively), with lower values occurring during late Paleozoic assembly and growth of Pangea. This temporal pattern may also reflect difficulties in reconstructing small, now subducted oceanic plates further back in time, as well as whether a supercontinent is assembling or breaking up. During the similar to 260-160 Ma timeframe the model reaches a minima in the number of plates, in contrast to what we would expect during initial Pangea breakup and thus highlighting the need for refinement of the relative plate motion model. Continental and plate RMS speeds show an overall increase backwards through time from similar to 200 to 365 Ma, reaching a peak at 365 Ma of >14 and >16 cm/yr, respectively, compared to similar to 3 and similar to 5 cm/yr, respectively, at present-day. The median value of trench motion remains close to, yet above 0 cm/yr for most of the model timeframe, with a dominance in positive values reflecting a prevalence of trench retreat over advance. Trench advance speeds are excessive during the 370-160 Ma period, reaching more than four times that observed at present-day. Extended periods of trench advance and global continental and plate RMS speeds that far exceed present-day values warrant further investigation. Future work should test whether alternative absolute reference frames or relative motions would mitigate these high speeds, while still being consistent with geologic and geophysical observations, or alternatively focus on identifying potential driving mechanisms to account for such rapid motions.

The radiation linewidth becomes narrower with time, eventually becoming monochromatic in the middle of the bandgap, which enables us to propose the concept of nonresonant tunable PTC laser.

Notwithstanding the key role of PD-L1 expression by cells within the tumour micro-environment, our understanding of the regulation of the PD-L1 protein is limited(10-15). Here we identify, using a haploid genetic screen, CMTM6, a type-3 transmembrane protein of previously unknown function, as a regulator of the PD-L1 protein. Interference with CMTM6 expression results in impaired PD-L1 protein expression in all human tumour cell types tested and in primary human dendritic cells. Furthermore, through both a haploid genetic modifier screen in CMTM6-deficient cells and genetic complementation experiments, we demonstrate that this function is shared by its closest family member, CMTM4, but not by any of the other CMTM members tested. Notably, CMTM6 increases the PD-L1 protein pool without affecting PD-L1 (also known as CD274) transcription levels. Rather, we demonstrate that CMTM6 is present at the cell surface, associates with the PD-L1 protein, reduces its ubiquitination and increases PD-L1 protein half-life. Consistent with its role in PD-L1 protein regulation, CMTM6 enhances the ability of PD-L1-expressing tumour cells to inhibit T cells. Collectively, our data reveal that PD-L1 relies on CMTM6/4 to efficiently carry out its inhibitory function, and suggest potential new avenues to block this pathway.","","","","","","","","","","","",519,577,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 7",2017,549,7670,"","","","",106,"+","","10.1038/nature23669","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature23669","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000409388700042","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The thermal conductivity of the fabricated aperiodic superlattice agrees well with the calculations over a temperature range of 77-300 K, indicating that complex aperiodic wave interference of coherent phonons can be controlled. The thermal conductivity of the aperiodic superlattice is significantly smaller than the conventional periodic superlattice due to enhanced phonon localization.

Currently, there is no effective vaccine for tackling this COVID19 pandemic where disease countermeasures rely upon preventing or slowing person-to-person transmission. Specifically, there is increasing efforts to prevent or reduce transmission to front-line healthcare workers (HCW). However, there is growing international concern regarding the shortage in supply chain of critical one-time-use personal and protective equipment (PPE). PPE are heat sensitive and are not, by their manufacturer's design, intended for reprocessing. Most conventional sterilization technologies used in hospitals, or in terminal medical device sterilization providers, cannot effectively reprocess PPE due to the nature and severity of sterilization modalities. Contingency planning for PPE stock shortage is important. Solutions in the Republic of Ireland include use of smart communication channels to improve supply chain, bespoke production of PPE to meets gaps, along with least preferred option, use of sterilization or high-level disinfection for PPE reprocessing. Reprocessing PPE must consider material composition, functionality post treatment, along with appropriate disinfection. Following original manufacturer of PPE and regulatory guidance is important. Technologies deployed in the US, and for deployment in the Republic of Ireland, are eco-friendly, namely vaporised hydrogen peroxide (VH2O2), such as for filtering facepiece respirators and UV irradiation and High-level liquid disinfection (Actichlor+) is also been pursed in Ireland.

However, it remains a tricky problem to find highly active cathode catalyst operating within ambient air. In this contribution, a highly active Fe2Mo3O12 (FeMoO) garnet cathode catalyst for LABs is reported. The experimental and theoretical analysis demonstrate that the highly stable polyhedral framework, composed of Fe-O octahedrons and M-O tetrahedrons, provides a highly effective air catalytic activity and long-term stability, and meanwhile keeps good structural stability. The FeMoO electrode delivers a cycle life of over 1800 h by applying a simple half-sealed condition in ambient air. It is found that surface-rich Fe vacancy can act as an O-2 pump to accelerate the catalytic reaction. Furthermore, the FeMoO catalyst exhibits a superior catalytic capability for the decomposition of Li2CO3. H2O in the air can be regarded as the main contribution to the anode corrosion and the deterioration of LAB cells could be attributed to the formation of LiOH center dot H2O at the end of cycling. The present work provides in-depth insights to understand the catalytic mechanism in air and constitutes a conceptual breakthrough in catalyst design for efficient cell structure in practical LABs.","","","","","","","","","","","",51,51,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2023,10,12,"","","","","","","","10.1002/advs.202300482","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/advs.202300482","","FEB 2023","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000937758400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Optical NV-diamond measurements provide high-sensitivity, broadband magnetometry under ambient or extreme physical conditions and the fixed crystallographic axes inherent to this solid-state system enable vector sensing free from heading errors. In the present device, multichannel lock-in detection extracts the magnetic-field-dependent spin-resonance shifts of NVs oriented along all four tetrahedral diamond axes from the optical signal measured on a single detector. The sensor operates from near dc (5 Hz) up to a 12.5-kHz measurement bandwidth and simultaneously achieves approximately 50 pT/root Hz magnetic-field sensitivity for each Cartesian component, which is, to date, the highest demonstrated sensitivity of a full vector magnetometer employing solid-state spins. Compared to optimized devices interrogating the four NV orientations sequentially, the simultaneous vector magnetometer enables a 4x measurement speedup. This technique can be extended to pulsed-type sensing protocols and parallel wide-field magnetic imaging.","","","","","","","","","","","",189,204,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 21",2018,10,3,"","","","","","",34044,"10.1103/PhysRevApplied.10.034044","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.10.034044","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000445326900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We search for replacements by applying screening criteria to a comprehensive chemical database. For the fluids passing the thermodynamic and environmental screens (critical temperature and global warming potential), we simulate performance in small air-conditioning systems, including optimization of the heat exchangers. We show that the efficiency-versus-capacity trade-off that exists in an ideal analysis disappears when a more realistic system is considered.

These compounds are of great interest, as they have shown high antioxidant power and are correlated to many health benefits. Hence, traditional methods of extraction such as solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction and novel extraction technologies such as ultrasound-assisted extraction and subcritical water extraction (SWE) have been investigated for the extraction of polyphenols. Scope and Approach: Generally, for traditional extractions, the total phenolic content (TPC) is highest at an extraction temperature of 60-80 degrees C. For this reason, polyphenols are regularly regarded as heat-labile compounds. However, in many studies that investigated the optimal temperature for subcritical water extraction (SWE), temperatures as high as 100-200 degrees C have been reported. These SWE extractions showed extremely high yields and antioxidant capacities at these temperatures. This paper aimed to examine the relevant literature to identify and understand the mechanisms behind this discrepancy. Results: Thermal degradation is the most common explanation for the degradation of polyphenols. This may be the case for specific or sub-groups of phenolic acids. The different extraction temperatures may have also impacted the types of polyphenols extracted. At high extraction temperatures, the formation of new compounds known as Maillard reaction products may also influence the extracted polyphenols. The selection of source material for extraction, i.e., the plant matrix, and the effect of extraction conditions, i.e., oxidation and light exposure, are also discussed. The overestimation of total phenolic content by the Folin-Ciocalteu assay is also discussed. There is also a lack of consensus in TPC's correlation to antioxidant activity.","","","","","","","","","","","",237,242,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2022,12,4,"","","","","","",2107,"10.3390/app12042107","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/app12042107","","","","","","Chemistry; Engineering; Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000762719100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It shows that TDY-alpha processes a higher glass transition temperature, better crystallinity relative to its individual small-molecule acceptor segment and isomeric counterpart of TDY-beta, and amore stablemorphology with the polymer donor. As a result, the TDY-alpha based device delivers a higher device efficiency of 18.1%, and most important, achieves an extrapolated lifetime of about 35000 hours that retaining 80% of their initial efficiency. Our result suggests that with proper geometry design, the tethered small-molecule acceptors can achieve both high device efficiency and operating stability.","","","","","","","","","","","",89,91,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 22",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",2926,"10.1038/s41467-023-38673-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-38673-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001024186000035","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we investigate the industrial viability of highly efficient OSCs based on several representative NFAs. The most stable OSCs exhibit PCE of similar to 8% along with extrapolated T-80 lifetime (80% of the initial PCE) of over 11,000 hr under equivalent 1 sun illumination, which would lead to a very impressive operational lifetime approaching 10 years. Photo-stability is strongly dependent on the end-group and side-chain engineering of the NFAs. Breaking of conjugation during photo-aging leads to increased energetic traps. Fluorination of the end-group stabilizes molecules against light soaking, while adding methyl groups shows an opposite trend. Side-chain modification can significantly influence the morphological stability. Reducing synthetic complexity of this class of NFAs will ultimately push the organic photovoltaics technology into real-life applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",387,406,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 16",2019,3,1,"","","","",215,226,"","10.1016/j.joule.2018.09.001","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.joule.2018.09.001","","","","","","Chemistry; Energy & Fuels; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000457552800019","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Herein, the MXene/MnO2 nanocomposite-coated biodegradable luffa sponge (Ti3C2- MnO2@LS) is proposed as an efficient solar evaporator for solar steam generation. The thin layer of Ti3C2-MnO2 coated on the surface of the luffa sponge (LS) serves as the solar absorber and enhances the hydrophilicity of the LS, while the thermally insulating LS layer with microporous structure endows sufficient water transportation and localizes heat for interfacial water evaporation. Combining MXene with MnO2 can increase the surface area as well as the stability. The Ti3C2-MnO2@LS delivers a solar evaporation rate as high as 1.36 kg m- 2 h-1, with a solar steam conversion efficiency of 85.28 % under one sun irradiation. Furthermore, this Ti3C2-MnO2@LS ex-hibits superior salt-rejecting properties even under highly concentrated saltwater desalination and excellent wastewater purification performance. This work demonstrates the prospects of combining novel 2D materials with biomass-based materials for practical solar steam generation.","","","","","","","","","","","",59,61,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 15",2023,554,"","","","","","","",116488,"10.1016/j.desal.2023.116488","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.desal.2023.116488","","MAR 2023","","","","Engineering; Water Resources","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000955781700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Often, discussion will flow from a narrow view of consumer perceptions surrounding passenger vehicles-presuming that users act in rationalist, instrumental, and predictable patterns. In this paper, we hold that a better understanding of the social and demographic perceptions of electric vehicles (compared to other forms of mobility, including conventional cars) is needed. We provide a comparative and mixed methods assessment of the demographics of electric mobility and stated preferences for electric vehicles, drawing primarily on a survey distributed to more than 5000 respondents across Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. We examine how gender influences preferences; how experience in the form of education and occupation shape preferences; and how aging and household size impact preferences. In doing so we hope to reveal the more complex social dynamics behind how potential adopters consider and calculate various aspects of conventional mobility, electric mobility, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems. In particular, our results suggest that predominantly men, those with higher levels of education in full time employment, especially with occupations in civil society or academia, and below middle age (30-45), are the most likely to buy them. However, our analysis also reveals other market segments where electric vehicles may take root, e.g. among higher income females and retirees/pensioners. Moreover, few respondents were orientated towards V2G, independent of their demographic attributes. Our empirical results can inform ongoing discussions about energy and transport policy, the drivers of environmental change, and deliberations over sustainability transitions.","","","","","","","","","","","",184,196,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2018,52,"","","","","",86,100,"","10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2018.06.008","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2018.06.008","","","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Geography","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000449444900009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We used high-resolution kinematic analyses, molecular biology, rheology, and advanced imaging techniques to examine soybean (Glycine max) roots exposed to Al. Using this multidisciplinary approach, we have conclusively shown that the primary lesion of Al is apoplastic. In particular, it was found that 75 mu M Al reduced root growth after only 5 min (or 30 min at 30 mu M Al), with Al being toxic by binding to the walls of outer cells, which directly inhibited their loosening in the elongation zone. An alteration in the biosynthesis and distribution of ethylene and auxin was a second, slower effect, causing both a transient decrease in the rate of cell elongation after 1.5 h but also a longer term gradual reduction in the length of the elongation zone. These findings show the importance of focusing on traits related to cell wall composition as well as mechanisms involved in wall loosening to overcome the deleterious effects of soluble Al.","","","","","","","","","","","",189,200,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2015,167,4,"","","","",1402,1411,"","10.1104/pp.114.253229","http://dx.doi.org/10.1104/pp.114.253229","","","","","","Plant Sciences","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000354438500017","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, whether blocking PD-1 can reprogram TEX into durable memory Tcells (TMEM) is unclear. We found that reinvigoration of TEX in mice by PD-L1 blockade caused minimal memory development. After blockade, reinvigorated TEX became reexhausted if antigen concentration remained high and failed to become TMEM upon antigen clearance. TEX acquired an epigenetic profile distinct from that of effector Tcells (TEFF) and TMEM cells that was minimally remodeled after PD-L1 blockade. This finding suggests that TEX are a distinct lineage of CD8 Tcells. Nevertheless, PD-1 pathway blockade resulted in transcriptional rewiring and reengagement of effector circuitry in the TEX epigenetic landscape. These data indicate that epigenetic fate inflexibility may limit current immunotherapies.","","","","","","","","","","","",935,1077,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 2",2016,354,6316,"","","","",1160,1165,"","10.1126/science.aaf2807","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aaf2807","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000388916400045","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Substitution of anodic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with hydrazine oxidation reaction (HzOR) effectually reduces the overall voltage. In this work, the utilization of iridium single atom (Ir-SA/NC) as robust hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and HzOR electrocatalyst in 0.5 m H2SO4 electrolyte is reported. Mass activity of Ir-SA/NC is as high as 37.02 A mg(Ir)(-1) at overpotential of 50 mV in HER catalysis, boosted by 127-time than Pt/C. Besides, Ir-SA/NC requires only 0.39 V versus RHE to attain 10 mA cm(-2) in HzOR catalysis, dramatically lower than OER (1.5 V versus RHE); importantly, a superior stability is achieved in HzOR. Moreover, the mass activity at 0.5 V versus RHE is enhanced by 83-fold than Pt/C. The in situ Raman spectroscopy investigation suggests the HzOR pathway follows *N2H4 ->*2NH(2)->*2NH -> 2N ->*N-2 -> N-2 for Ir-SA/NC.

Despite strong interest, experiments on the subject proved challenging because of the simultaneous presence of different scattering mechanisms that suppress or obscure consequences of e-e scattering(7-11). Only recently, suffciently clean electron systems with transport dominated by e-e collisions have become available, showing behaviour characteristic of highly viscous fluids(12-14). Here we study electron transport through graphene constrictions and show that their conductance below 150 K increases with increasing temperature, in stark contrast to the metallic character of doped graphene(15). Notably, the measured conductance exceeds the maximum conductance possible for free electrons(16,17). This anomalous behaviour is attributed to collective movement of interacting electrons, which 'shields' individual carriers from momentum loss at sample boundaries(18,19). The measurements allow us to identify the conductance contribution arising due to electron viscosity and determine its temperature dependence. Besides fundamental interest, our work shows that viscous effects can facilitate high-mobility transport at elevated temperatures, a potentially useful behaviour for designing graphene-based devices.","","","","","","","","","","","",287,312,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2017,13,12,"","","","",1182,"+","","10.1038/NPHYS4240","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/NPHYS4240","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000417049400016","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In such research, binary outcomes are common. Multilevel logistic regression models allow one to account for the clustering of subjects within clusters of higher-level units when estimating the effect of subject and cluster characteristics on subject outcomes. A search of the PubMed database demonstrated that the use of multilevel or hierarchical regression models is increasing rapidly. However, our impression is that many analysts simply use multilevel regression models to account for the nuisance of within-cluster homogeneity that is induced by clustering. In this article, we describe a suite of analyses that can complement the fitting of multilevel logistic regression models. These ancillary analyses permit analysts to estimate the marginal or population-average effect of covariates measured at the subject and cluster level, in contrast to the within-cluster or cluster-specific effects arising from the original multilevel logistic regression model. We describe the interval odds ratio and the proportion of opposed odds ratios, which are summary measures of effect for cluster-level covariates. We describe the variance partition coefficient and the median odds ratio which are measures of components of variance and heterogeneity in outcomes. These measures allow one to quantify the magnitude of the general contextual effect. We describe an R-2 measure that allows analysts to quantify the proportion of variation explained by different multilevel logistic regression models. We illustrate the application and interpretation of these measures by analyzing mortality in patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. (C) 2017 The Authors.

Its equations of motion, originally derived based on the principle of virtual work, do not contain any spatial derivatives of the displacement components. Thus, their solution does not require special treatment in the presence of geometric and material discontinuities. This study presents an alternative approach to derive the peridynamic equations of motion by recasting Navier's displacement equilibrium equations into their nonlocal form by introducing the peridynamic differential operator. Also, this operator permits the nonlocal form of expressions for the determination of the stress and strain components. The capability of this differential operator is demonstrated by constructing solutions to ordinary, partial differential equations and derivatives of scattered data, as well as image compression and recovery without employing any special filtering and regularization techniques.

However, any alternative fuel must meet a range of criteria to become a viable option. Key among them is the requirement that it can deliver emissions reductions over its full life-cycle. For a set of fuels, comprising both conventional and alternative fuels, together with associated production pathways, this paper presents a life-cycle assessment with respect to six emissions species: local pollutants sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter; and greenhouse gases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. While the analysis demonstrates that no widely available fuel exists currently to deliver on both motivations, some alternative fuel options have the potential, if key barriers can be overcome. Hydrogen or other synthetic fuels rely on decarbonisation of both energy input to production and other feedstock materials to deliver reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. Similarly, bio-derived fuels can be an abatement option, but only if it can be ensured that land-use change whilst growing biomass does not impact wider potential savings and the sector is able to compete sufficiently for their use. These examples show that crucial barriers are located upstream in the respective fuel life cycle and that the way to overcome them may reside beyond the scope of the shipping sector alone.

It shows that (i) P(rho) is a state function, independent of the particle-wall interaction; (ii) interactions contribute two terms to P, one encoding the slow-down that drives motility-induced phase separation, and the other a direct contribution well known for passive systems; and (iii) P is equal in coexisting phases. We discuss the consequences of these results for the motility-induced phase separation of active Brownian particles and show that the densities at coexistence do not satisfy a Maxwell construction on P.","","","","","","","","","","","",282,301,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 11",2015,114,19,"","","","","","",198301,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.198301","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.198301","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000354347300007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The topological structure manifests itself in the complex admittance bands which yields excellent measurability and signal to noise ratio. We analyze the impact of PT-symmetric gain and loss on localized edge and defect states in a non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) circuit. We realize all three symmetry phases of the system, including the APT-symmetric regime that occurs at large gain and loss. We measure the admittance spectrum and eigenstates for arbitrary boundary conditions, which allows us to resolve not only topological edge states, but also a novel PT-symmetric Z(2) invariant of the bulk. We discover the distinct properties of topological edge states and defect states in the phase diagram. In the regime that is not PT symmetric, the topological defect state disappears and only reemerges when APT symmetry is reached, while the topological edge states always prevail and only experience a shift in eigenvalue. Our findings unveil a future route for topological defect engineering and tuning in non-Hermitian systems of arbitrary dimension.","","","","","","","","","","","",121,128,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 28",2021,126,21,"","","","","","",215302,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.215302","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.126.215302","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000655930100005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The synthesis of these materials and experimental observation of their physics remain very challenging because of the stringent requirement for uniform modulation of material properties in volumetric samples. In this work, we extend the concept of photonic time crystals to two-dimensional artificial structures- metasurfaces. We demonstrate that time-varying metasurfaces not only preserve key physical properties of volumetric photonic time crystals despite their simpler topology but also host common momentum bandgaps shared by both surface and free-space electromagnetic waves. On the basis of a microwave metasurface design, we experimentally confirmed the exponential wave amplification inside a momentum bandgap and the possibility to probe bandgap physics by external (free-space) excitations. The proposed metasurface serves as a straightforward material platform for realizing emerging photonic space-time crystals and as a realistic system for the amplification of surface-wave signals in future wireless communications.","","","","","","","","","","","",76,76,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 7",2023,9,14,"","","","","","","adg7541","10.1126/sciadv.adg7541","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adg7541","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:000994524200015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Both helicenes show unprecedentedly narrow fluorescence and CPL bands (full width at half maximum between 17-28 nm, 0.07-0.13 eV) along with high fluorescence quantum yields (72-85 %). Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the relative localization of the natural transition orbitals, mainly on the rigid core of the molecule, and small values of root-mean-square displacements between S-0 and S-1 state geometries, contribute to the narrower emission.","","","","","","","","","","","",55,55,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 11",2023,62,16,"","","","","","","","10.1002/anie.202218965","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/anie.202218965","","MAR 2023","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000945744300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Different intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli can be used to trigger drug release such as temperature, redox, ultrasound, magnetic field, and pH. The intracellular pH of solid tumors is maintained below the extracellular pH. Thus, pH-sensitive nanoparticles are highly efficient in delivering drugs to tumors compared to conventional nanoparticles.

The stability of reef-top habitats under RSLR is similarly linked to reef-derived sediment accumulation and the vertical accretion of protective coral reefs(2). The persistence of these ecosystems under high rates of RSLR is contested(3). Here we show that the probability of vertical adjustment to RSLR inferred from palaeo-stratigraphic observations aligns with contemporary in situ survey measurements. A deficit between tidal marsh and mangrove adjustment and RSLR is likely at 4mmyr(-1) and highly likely at 7 mmyr(-1) of RSLR. As rates of RSLR exceed 7 mmyr(-1), the probability that reef islands destabilize through increased shoreline erosion and wave over-topping increases. Increased global warming from 1.5 degrees C to 2.0 degrees C would double the area of mapped tidal marsh exposed to 4 mmyr(-1) of RSLR by between 2080 and 2100. With 3 degrees C of warming, nearly all the world's mangrove forests and coral reef islands and almost 40% of mapped tidal marshes are estimated to be exposed to RSLR of at least 7 mmyr(-1). Meeting the Paris agreement targets would minimize disruption to coastal ecosystems.","","","","","","","","","","","",49,53,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 7",2023,621,7977,"","","","",112,119,"","10.1038/s41586-023-06448-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06448-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001148718900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

First, we find that DMI is significantly enhanced when the ferromagnetic (FM) layer is sandwiched between nonmagnetic (NM) layers inducing additive DMI in NM1/FM/NM2 structures. For instance, when two NM layers are chosen to induce DMI of opposite chirality in Co, e.g. NM1 representing Au, Ir, Al or Pb, and NM2 being Pt, the resulting DMI in NM1/Co/Pt trilayers is enhanced compared to Co/Pt bilayers. Moreover, DMI can be significantly enhanced further in case of using FM layer comprising Fe and Co layers. Namely, it is found that the DMI in Ir/Fe/Co/Pt structure can be enhanced by 80% compared to that of Co/Pt bilayers reaching a very large DMI amplitude of 5.59 meV/atom. Our second approach for enhancing DMI is to use oxide capping layer. We show that DMI is enhanced by 60% in Oxide/Co/Pt structures compared to Co/Pt bilayers. Moreover, we unveiled the DMI mechanism at Oxide/Co interface due to Rashba effect, which is different to Fert-Levy DMI at FM/NM interfaces. Finally, we demonstrate that DMI amplitude can be modulated using an electric field with an efficiency factor comparable to that of the electric field control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in transition metal/oxide interfaces. These approaches of DMI controlling pave the way for skyrmion and domain wall motion-based spintronic applications.","","","","","","","","","","","",177,187,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 17",2018,8,"","","","","","","",12356,"10.1038/s41598-018-30063-y","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-018-30063-y","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000441876700059","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We include contributions of the three- and four-phonon scattering processes to the phonon lifetimes as well as the temperature dependent anharmonic renormalization of phonon energies arising from an unusually strong quartic anharmonicity in Tl3VSe4. In contrast to a recent report by Mukhopadhyay et al. [Science 360, 1455 (2018)] which suggested that a significant contribution to kappa(l) arises from random walks among uncorrelated oscillators, we show that particlelike propagation of phonon excitations can successfully explain the experimentally observed ultralow kappa(l). Our findings are further supported by explicit calculations of the off-diagonal terms of the heat current operator, which are found to be small and indicate that wavelike tunneling of heat carrying vibrations is of minor importance. Our results (i) resolve the discrepancy between the theoretical and experimental kappa(l), (ii) offer new insights into the minimum kappa(l) achievable in Tl3VSe4, and (iii) highlight the importance of high order anharmonicity in low-kappa(l) systems. The methodology demonstrated here may be used to resolve the discrepancies between the experimentally measured and the theoretically calculated kappa(l) in skutterides and perovskites, as well as to understand the glasslike kappa(l) in complex crystals with strong anharmonicity, leading towards the goal of rational design of new materials.","","","","","","","","","","","",155,167,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 14",2020,124,6,"","","","","","",65901,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.065901","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.065901","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000513568400011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This paper describes a preliminary design for the experiment, in which the DarkSide-20k LAr TPC is deployed within a shield/veto with a spherical Liquid Scintillator Veto (LSV) inside a cylindrical Water Cherenkov Veto (WCV). This preliminary design provides a baseline for the experiment to achieve its physics goals, while further development work will lead to the final optimization of the detector parameters and an eventual technical design. Operation of DarkSide-50 demonstrated a major reduction in the dominant Ar-39 background when using argon extracted from an underground source, before applying pulse shape analysis. Data from DarkSide-50, in combination with MC simulation and analytical modeling, shows that a rejection factor for discrimination between electron and nuclear recoils of > 3 x 10(9) is achievable. This, along with the use of the veto system and utilizing silicon photomultipliers in the LAr TPC, are the keys to unlocking the path to large LAr TPC detector masses, while maintaining an experiment in which less than < 0.1 events (other than v-induced nuclear recoils) is expected to occur within the WIMP search region during the planned exposure. DarkSide-20k will have ultra-low backgrounds than can be measured in situ, giving sensitivity to WIMP-nucleon cross sections of 1.2 x 10(-47) cm(2) (1.1 x 10(-46) cm(2)) for WIMPs of 1 TeV/c(2) (10 TeV/c(2)) mass, to be achieved during a 5yr run producing an exposure of 100 t yr free from any instrumental background.","","","","","","","","","","","",307,340,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 29",2018,133,3,"","","","","","",131,"10.1140/epjp/i2018-11973-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2018-11973-4","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000434467800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This leads to an upper limit for specific detectivity. Photodiodes are ubiquitous in industry and consumer electronics. Constantly emerging new applications for photodiodes demand different mechanical and optoelectronic properties from those provided by conventional inorganic-based semiconductor devices. This has stimulated considerable interest in the use of organic semiconductors, which provide a vast palette of available optoelectronic properties, can be incorporated into flexible form factor geometries, and promise low-cost, low-embodied energy manufacturing from earth-abundant materials. The sensitivity of a photodiode depends critically on the dark current. Organic photodiodes (OPDs), however, are characterized by a much higher dark current than expected for thermally excited radiative transitions. Here we show that the dark saturation current in OPDs is fundamentally limited by mid-gap trap states. This new insight is generated by the universal trend observed for the dark saturation current of a large set of OPDs and further substantiated by sensitive external-quantum-efficiency- and temperature-dependent current measurements. Based on this insight, an upper limit for the specific detectivity is established. A detailed understanding of the origins of noise in any detector is fundamental to defining performance limitations and thus is critical to materials and device selection, and design and optimization for all applications. Our work establishes these important principles for OPDs.","","","","","","","","","","","",68,70,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2023,17,4,"","","","",368,"+","","10.1038/s41566-023-01173-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41566-023-01173-5","","MAR 2023","","","","Optics; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000955527900002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, we investigated the impact of slice thickness and pixel spacing (or pixel size) on radiomics features extracted from Computed Tomography (CT) phantom images acquired with different scanners as well as different acquisition and reconstruction parameters. The dependence of CT texture features on gray-level discretization was also evaluated. Methods and materials: A texture phantom composed of 10 different cartridges of different materials was scanned on eight different CT scanners from three different manufacturers. The images were reconstructed for various slice thicknesses. For each slice thickness, the reconstruction Field Of View (FOV) was varied to render pixel sizes ranging from 0.39 to 0.98 mm. A fixed spherical region of interest (ROI) was contoured on the images of the shredded rubber cartridge and the 3D printed, 20% fill, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic cartridge (ABS20) for all phantom imaging sets. Radiomic features were extracted from the ROIs using an in-house program. Features categories were: shape (10), intensity (16), GLCM (24), GLZSM (11), GLRLM (11), and NGTDM (5), fractal dimensions (8) and first-order wavelets (128), for a total of 213 features. Voxel-size resampling was performed to investigate the usefulness of extracting features using a suitably chosen voxel size. Acquired phantom image sets were resampled to a voxel size of 1 x 1 x 2 mm(3) using linear interpolation. Image features were therefore extracted from resampled and original datasets and the absolute value of the percent coefficient of variation (% COV) for each feature was calculated. Based on the % COV values, features were classified in 3 groups: (1) features with large variations before and after resampling (% COV >50); (2) features with diminished variation (% COV <30) after resampling; and (3) features that had originally moderate variation (% COV <50%) and were negligibly affected by resampling. Group 2 features were further studied by modifying feature definitions to include voxel size. Original and voxel-size normalized features were used for interscanner comparisons. A subsequent analysis investigated feature dependency on gray-level discretization by extracting 51 texture features from ROIs from each of the 10 different phantom cartridges using 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256 gray levels. Results: Out of the 213 features extracted, 150 were reproducible across voxel sizes, 42 improved significantly (% COV <30, Group 2) after resampling, and 21 had large variations before and after resampling (Group 1). Ten features improved significantly after definition modification effectively removed their voxel-size dependency. Interscanner comparison indicated that feature variability among scanners nearly vanished for 8 of these 10 features. Furthermore, 17 out of 51 texture features were found to be dependent on the number of gray levels. These features were redefined to include the number of gray levels which greatly reduced this dependency. Conclusion: Voxel-size resampling is an appropriate pre-processing step for image datasets acquired with variable voxel sizes to obtain more reproducible CT features. We found that some of the radiomics features were voxel size and gray-level discretization-dependent. The introduction of normalizing factors in their definitions greatly reduced or removed these dependencies.

In 2016, the European Commission mandated EFSA to re-evaluate the risks to public health from the presence of BPA in foodstuffs and to establish a tolerable daily intake (TDI). For this re-evaluation, a pre-established protocol was used that had undergone public consultation. The CEP Panel concluded that it is Unlikely to Very Unlikely that BPA presents a genotoxic hazard through a direct mechanism. Taking into consideration the evidence from animal data and support from human observational studies, the immune system was identified as most sensitive to BPA exposure. An effect on Th17 cells in mice was identified as the critical effect; these cells are pivotal in cellular immune mechanisms and involved in the development of inflammatory conditions, including autoimmunity and lung inflammation. A reference point (RP) of 8.2 ng/kg bw per day, expressed as human equivalent dose, was identified for the critical effect. Uncertainty analysis assessed a probability of 57-73% that the lowest estimated Benchmark Dose (BMD) for other health effects was below the RP based on Th17 cells. In view of this, the CEP Panel judged that an additional uncertainty factor (UF) of 2 was needed for establishing the TDI. Applying an overall UF of 50 to the RP, a TDI of 0.2 ng BPA/kg bw per day was established. Comparison of this TDI with the dietary exposure estimates from the 2015 EFSA opinion showed that both the mean and the 95th percentile dietary exposures in all age groups exceeded the TDI by two to three orders of magnitude. Even considering the uncertainty in the exposure assessment, the exceedance being so large, the CEP Panel concluded that there is a health concern from dietary BPA exposure.","","","","","","","","","","","",153,161,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2023,21,4,"","","","","","","e06857","10.2903/j.efsa.2023.6857","http://dx.doi.org/10.2903/j.efsa.2023.6857","","","","","","Food Science & Technology","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:000971729500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1) is the main root transporter taking up iron from the soil and is also the main entry route in plants for potentially toxic metals such as manganese, zinc, cobalt, and cadmium. Previous work demonstrated that the IRT1 protein localizes to early endosomes/trans-Golgi network (EE/TGN) and is constitutively endocytosed through a monoubiquitin-and clathrin-dependent mechanism. Here, we show that the availability of secondary non-iron metal substrates of IRT1 (Zn, Mn, and Co) controls the localization of IRT1 between the outer polar domain of the plasma membrane and EE/TGN in root epidermal cells. We also identify FYVE1, a phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate-binding protein recruited to late endosomes, as an important regulator of IRT1-dependent metal transport and metal homeostasis in plants. FYVE1 controls IRT1 recycling to the plasma membrane and impacts the polar delivery of this transporter to the outer plasma membrane domain. This work establishes a functional link between the dynamics and the lateral polarity of IRT1 and the transport of its substrates, and identifies a molecular mechanism driving polar localization of a cell surface protein in plants.","","","","","","","","","","","",207,228,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 3",2014,111,22,"","","","",8293,8298,"","10.1073/pnas.1402262111","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1402262111","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000336687900091","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This suggests that ILs-based industrial process development will attract increasing attention in the future. However, there is one core issue that stands in the way of commercialisation: the high cost of most laboratory-synthesized ILs will limit application to small-scale, specialized processes. In this work, we evaluate the economic feasibility of two ILs synthesized via acid-base neutralization using two scenarios for each: conventional and intensification processing. Based upon our initial models, we determined the cost price of each IL and compared the energy requirements of each process option. The cost prices of triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate and 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate are estimated as $1.24 kg(-1) and $2.96-5.88 kg(-1), respectively. This compares favourably with organic solvents such as acetone or ethyl acetate, which sell for $1.30-$1.40 kg(-1). Moreover, the raw materials contribute the overwhelming majority of this cost and the intensified process using a compact plate reactor is more economical due to lower energy requirements. These results indicate that ionic liquids are not necessarily expensive, and therefore large-scale IL-based processes can become a commercial reality.","","","","","","","","","","","",300,315,"","","","","","","","","","","",2014,16,6,"","","","",3098,3106,"","10.1039/c4gc00016a","http://dx.doi.org/10.1039/c4gc00016a","","","","","","Chemistry; Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000336836100021","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Owing to their complexity and scarcity, quasicrystals are underexplored relative to periodic and amorphous structures. Here we introduce a new type of highly tunable quasicrystal easily assembled from periodic components. By twisting three layers of graphene with two different twist angles, we form two mutually incommensurate moire patterns. In contrast to many common atomic-scale quasicrystals(2,3), the quasiperiodicity in our system is defined on moire length scales of several nanometres. This 'moire quasicrystal' allows us to tune the chemical potential and thus the electronic system between a periodic-like regime at low energies and a strongly quasiperiodic regime at higher energies, the latter hosting a large density of weakly dispersing states. Notably, in the quasiperiodic regime, we observe superconductivity near a flavour-symmetry-breaking phase transition(4,5), the latter indicative of the important role that electronic interactions play in that regime. The prevalence of interacting phenomena in future systems with in situ tunability is not only useful for the study of quasiperiodic systems but may also provide insights into electronic ordering in related periodic moire crystals(6-12). We anticipate that extending this platform to engineer quasicrystals by varying the number of layers and twist angles, and by using different two-dimensional components, will lead to a new family of quantum materials to investigate the properties of strongly interacting quasicrystals.","","","","","","","","","","","",74,76,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2023,620,7975,"","","","","","","","10.1038/s41586-023-06294-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06294-z","","JUL 2023","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001038056400004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Currently, it is extensively used in the temperature control of mass concrete. Based on the thermodynamic database of OPC-based materials, the thermodynamic software GEM-Selektor (noted as GEMS) is used for simulating the hydration products of the LHP cement paste. Then, according to the GEMS thermodynamic simulation results, MATLAB is used to visualize the initial and ultimate stages of LHP cement pastes; the effects of curing temperature and water to cement (w/c) ratio on hydration products are addressed; and the porosity, fractal dimension, and tortuosity of different pastes are calculated. It is found that an appropriately high curing temperature is important for reducing porosity, especially in the early hydration stage. Hydration time also has a significant impact on the hydration of LHP cement paste; long hydration time may reduce the impact of temperature on hydration products. The w/c ratio is another important consideration regarding the hydration degree and porosity of LHP paste, and under different curing temperatures, hydration times, and w/c ratios, the porosity varies from 5.91-32.91%. The fractal dimension of this work agrees with the previous findings. From tortuosity analysis, it can be concluded that the high curing temperature may cause significant tortuosity, further affecting the effective diffusivity of LHP cement paste. For cement pastes with low w/c ratio, this high curing temperature effect is mainly reflected in the early hydration stage, for ones with high w/c ratio, it is in turn evident under long-term curing.","","","","","","","","","","","",77,78,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2023,7,8,"","","","","","",606,"10.3390/fractalfract7080606","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/fractalfract7080606","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:001055249200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and Methods We compared the radiomics features calculated for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors from 20 patients with those calculated for 17 scans of a specially designed radiomics phantom. The phantom comprised 10 cartridges, each filled with different materials to produce a wide range of radiomics feature values. The scans were acquired using General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and Toshiba scanners from 4 medical centers using their routine thoracic imaging protocol. The radiomics feature studied included the mean and standard deviations of the CT numbers as well as textures derived from the neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix. To quantify the significance of the interscanner variability, we introduced the metric feature noise. To look for patterns in the scans, we performed hierarchical clustering for each cartridge. Results The mean CT numbers for the 17 CT scans of the phantom cartridges spanned from -864 to 652 Hounsfield units compared with a span of -186 to 35 Hounsfield units for the CT scans of the NSCLC tumors, showing that the phantom's dynamic range includes that of the tumors. The interscanner variability of the feature values depended on both the cartridge material and the feature, and the variability was large relative to the interpatient variability in the NSCLC tumors for some features. The feature interscanner noise was greatest for busyness and least for texture strength. Hierarchical clustering produced different clusters of the phantom scans for each cartridge, although there was some consistent clustering by scanner manufacturer. Conclusions The variability in the values of radiomics features calculated on CT images from different CT scanners can be comparable to the variability in these features found in CT images of NSCLC tumors. These interscanner differences should be considered, and their effects should be minimized in future radiomics studies.","","","","","","","","","","","",498,550,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2015,50,11,"","","","",757,765,"","10.1097/RLI.0000000000000180","http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/RLI.0000000000000180","","","","","","Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000364088900003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We consider the fundamental properties of the Josephson effect in a class of magnetic materials that recently have attracted much attention: altermagnets. We show that despite having no net magnetization and a band structure qualitatively different from ferromagnets and from conventional antiferromagnets without spin-split bands, altermagnets induce 0-& pi; oscillations. The decay length and oscillation period of the Josephson coupling are qualitatively different from ferromagnetic junctions and depend on the crystallographic orientation of the altermagnet. The Josephson effect in altermagnets thus serves a dual purpose: it acts as a signature that distinguishes altermagnetism from ferromagnetism and conventional antiferromagnetism and offers a way to control the supercurrent via flow direction anisotropy.","","","","","","","","","","","",84,84,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 17",2023,131,7,"","","","","","",76003,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.076003","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.076003","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001053016000002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The accuracy and transferability of these models are increased significantly by encoding into the learning procedure the fundamental symmetries of rotational and permutational invariance of scalar properties. However, the prediction of tensorial properties requires that the model respects the appropriate geometric transformations, rather than invariance, when the reference frame is rotated. We introduce a formalism that extends existing schemes and makes it possible to perform machine learning of tensorial properties of arbitrary rank, and for general molecular geometries. To demonstrate it, we derive a tensor kernel adapted to rotational symmetry, which is the natural generalization of the smooth overlap of atomic positions kernel commonly used for the prediction of scalar properties at the atomic scale. The performance and generality of the approach is demonstrated by learning the instantaneous response to an external electric field of water oligomers of increasing complexity, from the isolated molecule to the condensed phase.","","","","","","","","","","","",218,237,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 19",2018,120,3,"","","","","","",36002,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.036002","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.036002","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000423317300018","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this method, the heat pipe is immersed inside the phase change material, where heat is effectively accumulated and stored for an extended period of time due to thermal insulation of evacuated tubes. The benefit of this method includes improved functionality by delayed release of heat, thus providing hot water during the hours of high demand or when solar intensity is insufficient. The proposed solar collector utilizes two distinct phase change materials (dual-PCM), namely Tritriacontane and Erythritol, with melting temperatures of 72 degrees C and 118 degrees C respectively. The operation of solar water heater with the proposed solar collector is investigated during both normal and on-demand operation. The feasibility of this technology is also tested via large scale commercial solar water heaters. Beyond the improved functionality for solar water heater systems, the results from this study show efficiency improvement of 26% for the normal operation and 66% for the stagnation mode, compared with standard solar water heaters that lack phase change materials.

A key breakthrough in the pursuit of these exotic particles originated from Read and Green's observation that the Moore-Read quantum Hall state and a ( relatively simple) two-dimensional p + ip superconductor both support so-called Ising non-Abelian anyons. Here, we establish a similar correspondence between the Z(3) Read-Rezayi quantum Hall state and a novel two-dimensional superconductor in which charge-2e Cooper pairs are built from fractionalized quasiparticles. In particular, both phases harbor Fibonacci anyons that-unlike Ising anyons-allow for universal topological quantum computation solely through braiding. Using a variant of Teo and Kane's construction of non-Abelian phases from weakly coupled chains, we provide a blueprint for such a superconductor using Abelian quantum Hall states interlaced with an array of superconducting islands. Fibonacci anyons appear as neutral deconfined particles that lead to a twofold ground-state degeneracy on a torus. In contrast to a p + ip superconductor, vortices do not yield additional particle types, yet depending on nonuniversal energetics can serve as a trap for Fibonacci anyons. These results imply that one can, in principle, combine well-understood and widely available phases of matter to realize non- Abelian anyons with universal braid statistics. Numerous future directions are discussed, including speculations on alternative realizations with fewer experimental requirements.","","","","","","","","","","","",304,336,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 12",2014,4,1,"","","","","","",11036,"10.1103/PhysRevX.4.011036","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.4.011036","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000332762800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Nicotiana benthamiana is widely used for the transient expression of recombinant proteins so it is desirable to modify the endogenous N-glycosylation machinery to allow the synthesis of complex N-glycans lacking beta-1,2-xylose and core alpha-1,3-fucose. Here, we used multiplex CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to generate N. benthamiana production lines deficient in plant-specific alpha-1,3-fucosyltransferase and beta-1,2-xylosyltransferase activity, reflecting the mutation of six different genes. We confirmed the functional gene knockouts by Sanger sequencing and mass spectrometry-based N-glycan analysis of endogenous proteins and the recombinant monoclonal antibody 2G12. Furthermore, we compared the CD64-binding affinity of 2G12 glycovariants produced in wild-type N. benthamiana, the newly generated FX-KO line, and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, confirming that the glyco-engineered antibody performed as well as its CHO-produced counterpart.","","","","","","","","","","","",124,138,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2019,17,2,"","","","",350,361,"","10.1111/pbi.12981","http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/pbi.12981","","","","","","Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; Plant Sciences","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000456283800004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In addition, two nonvesicular extracellular nanoparticles (NVEPs), exomeres and supermeres, have been discovered recently that are enriched in many cargo previously ascribed to EVs. The EV field has largely focused on EV isolation and characterization, while studies on NVEPs are limited. At this juncture, it is critically important to have robust and reliable methods to separate distinct populations of EVs and NVEPs to assign cargo to their correct carrier. Here, we provide a comprehensive step-by-step protocol for sequential isolation of large and small EVs, nonvesicular fractions, exomeres and supermeres from the same starting material. We describe in detail the use of differential ultracentrifugation, filtration, concentration and high-resolution density-gradient fractionation to obtain purified fractions of distinct populations of EVs and NVEPs. This protocol allows assignment and enrichment of a biomolecule of interest to its specific extracellular compartment. Compared to other isolation methods, our protocol has unique advantages, including high purity and reproducibility, with minimal expertise required. The protocol can be applied to purification of EVs and NVEPs from cell culture medium and human plasma and requires similar to 72 h to complete. Adoption of this protocol will help translational investigators identify potential circulating biomarkers and therapeutic targets for a host of human diseases and allow basic scientists to better understand EV and NVEP biogenesis and function. Overall, this protocol will allow those interested in isolating EVs and extracellular particles to advance scientific inquiry to answer outstanding questions in the field.","","","","","","","","","","","",101,104,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2023,18,5,"","","","",1462,"+","","10.1038/s41596-023-00811-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41596-023-00811-0","","MAR 2023","","","","Biochemistry & Molecular Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000948235700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The co-existence of diametrically opposite interpretations of the concept indicates lack of a serious discussion of its theoretical foundations. Two narratives on circular bioeconomy are explored in depth: (i) the new economic paradigm based on technological progress (the economics of technological promises) that seeks perpetual economic growth; (ii) an entropic (thermodynamic) narrative that reflects on the limits on economic growth imposed by nature. The latter narrative makes a distinction between primary, secondary and tertiary resource flows and helps to identify what can and cannot be re-circulated within the metabolic pattern of social-ecological systems. Adopting the biophysical view, it becomes clear that the industrial revolution represented a linearization of material and energy flows with the goal to overcome the low pace and density of biological transformations. The required level of productivity of production factors in contemporary developed economies (flows per hour of labor and per hectare of land use) is orders of magnitude larger than the pace and density of supply and sink capacity of natural processes. Relying on nature to 'close the loop' will simply slow down the economic process.","","","","","","","","","","","",196,208,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2019,162,"","","","","",143,156,"","10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.05.001","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecolecon.2019.05.001","","","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Business & Economics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000472813700013","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A framework of crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) is established based on the mechanism of crystal plastic deformation to describe the mesoscopic structural influence of grain evolution on the macroscopic properties of sintered AgNP materials. Material parameters of crystal plasticity are defined and initial orientations are randomly assigned for sintered AgNP grains. To calibrate the mesoscopic mechanical properties of sintered AgNP by the proposed CPFEM, the results of CPFEM simulations and uniaxial tensile tests subjected to different strain rates and temperatures are compared in terms of the stress-strain curves as the critical macroscopic characteristics. The predicted stress and deformation distributions in the polycrystalline structure demonstrate that the significant inhomogeneity of stress and deformation is caused by the different grain orientations of sintered AgNP. Furthermore, we elucidate the fracture mechanism influenced by the temperature and strain rate and also the effect of initial crystal orientation on the plastic strain of sintered AgNP. This study sheds light on the morphology design of sintered AgNP with optimized mechanical properties and fatigue resistance.","","","","","","","","","","","",112,114,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 28",2023,281,"","","","","","","",109137,"10.1016/j.engfracmech.2023.109137","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2023.109137","","FEB 2023","","","","Mechanics","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:000950140800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Most typically, ratiometric sensing of the luminescence emission intensities of two thermally coupled emissive states based on a Boltzmann equilibrium is used to detect the local temperature. Dependent on the temperature range and preferred spectral window, various choices for potential candidates appear possible. Despite extensive experimental research in the field, a universal theory covering the basics of luminescence thermometry is virtually nonexistent. In this manuscript, a general theoretical framework of single ion luminescent thermometers is presented that offers simple, user-friendly guidelines for both the choice of an appropriate emitter and respective embedding host material for optimum temperature sensing. The results show that the optimum performance (thermal response and sensitivity) aroundT(0)is realized for an energy gap increment E(21)between thermally coupled levels between 2k(B)T(0)and 3.41k(B)T(0). Analysis of the temperature-dependent excited state kinetics shows that host lattices in which increment E(21)can be bridged by one or two phonons are preferred over hosts in which higher order phonon processes are required. Such a framework is relevant for both a fundamental understanding of luminescent thermometers but also the targeted design of novel and superior luminescent (nano)thermometers.","","","","","","","","","","","",201,202,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2020,3,12,"","","","","","",2000176,"10.1002/adts.202000176","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adts.202000176","","OCT 2020","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000583969600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We focus on the standard resolution of the fully coupled physical model designed to address DOE mission-relevant water cycle questions. Its components include atmosphere and land (110-km grid spacing), ocean and sea ice (60 km in the midlatitudes and 30 km at the equator and poles), and river transport (55 km) models. This base configuration will also serve as a foundation for additional configurations exploring higher horizontal resolution as well as augmented capabilities in the form of biogeochemistry and cryosphere configurations. The performance of E3SMv1 is evaluated by means of a standard set of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Characterization of Klima simulations consisting of a long preindustrial control, historical simulations (ensembles of fully coupled and prescribed SSTs) as well as idealized CO2 forcing simulations. The model performs well overall with biases typical of other CMIP-class models, although the simulated Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is weaker than many CMIP-class models. While the E3SMv1 historical ensemble captures the bulk of the observed warming between preindustrial (1850) and present day, the trajectory of the warming diverges from observations in the second half of the twentieth century with a period of delayed warming followed by an excessive warming trend. Using a two-layer energy balance model, we attribute this divergence to the model's strong aerosol-related effective radiative forcing (ERFari+aci = -1.65 W/m(2)) and high equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS = 5.3 K).","","","","","","","","","","","",449,468,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2019,11,7,"","","","",2089,2129,"","10.1029/2018MS001603","http://dx.doi.org/10.1029/2018MS001603","","","","","","Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000480282800012","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To understand how different proteins may contribute differently to these assemblies and their functions, it is important to understand the molecular driving forces of phase separation and characterize their phase boundaries and material properties. Experimental studies have shown that intrinsically disordered regions of these proteins are a major driving force, as many of them undergo LLPS in isolation. Previous work on polymer solution phase behavior suggests a potential correspondence between intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that can be leveraged to discover relationships between single-molecule properties and phase boundaries. Here, we take advantage of a recently developed coarse-grained framework to calculate the theta temperature T-theta, the Boyle temperature T-B, and the critical temperature T-c for 20 diverse protein sequences, and we show that these three properties are highly correlated. We also highlight that these correlations are not specific to our model or simulation methodology by comparing between different pairwise potentials and with data from other work. We, therefore, suggest that smaller simulations or experiments to determine T-theta or T-B can provide useful insights into the corresponding phase behavior.","","","","","","","","","","","",235,266,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 2",2018,115,40,"","","","",9929,9934,"","10.1073/pnas.1804177115","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1804177115","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000446078700050","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). The H -> tau tau signal is established with a significance of 4.9 standard deviations, to be compared to an expected significance of 4.7 standard deviations. The best fit of the product of the observed H -> tau tau signal production cross section and branching fraction is 1.09(-0.2)(6+0.27) times the standard model expectation. The combination with the corresponding measurement performed with data collected by the CMS experiment at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV leads to an observed significance of 5.9 standard deviations, equal to the expected significance. This is the first observation of Higgs boson decays to tau leptons by a single experiment. (c) 2018 The Author(s).

However, current experimental results (220-420 W m(-1) K-1) have been well below the prediction. Here, we report on the modulation of h-BN thermal conductivity by controlling the B isotope concentration. For monoisotopic B-10 h-BN, an in-plane thermal conductivity as high as 585 W m(-1) K-1 is measured at room temperature, similar to 80% higher than that of h-BN with a disordered isotope concentration (52%:48% mixture of B-10 and B-11). The temperature-dependent thermal conductivities of monoisotopic h-BN agree well with first principles calculations including only intrinsic phonon-phonon scattering. Our results illustrate the potential to achieve high thermal conductivity in h-BN and control its thermal conductivity, opening avenues for the wide application of h-BN as a next-generation thin-film material for thermal management, metamaterials and metadevices.","","","","","","","","","","","",166,183,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 2",2019,2,"","","","","","","",43,"10.1038/s42005-019-0145-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s42005-019-0145-5","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000467220700002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, the authors investigate these pathways under commonly-used photoredox-mediated reaction conditions. Cyanoarene-based photocatalysts (PCs) have attracted significant interest owing to their superior catalytic performance for radical anion mediated photoredox catalysis. However, the factors affecting the formation and degradation of cyanoarene-based PC radical anion (PC center dot-) are still insufficiently understood. Herein, we therefore investigate the formation and degradation of cyanoarene-based PC center dot- under widely-used photoredox-mediated reaction conditions. By screening various cyanoarene-based PCs, we elucidate strategies to efficiently generate PC center dot- with adequate excited-state reduction potentials (E-red*) via supra-efficient generation of long-lived triplet excited states (T-1). To thoroughly investigate the behavior of PC center dot- in actual photoredox-mediated reactions, a reductive dehalogenation is carried out as a model reaction and identified the dominant photodegradation pathways of the PC center dot-. Dehalogenation and photodegradation of PC center dot- are coexistent depending on the rate of electron transfer (ET) to the substrate and the photodegradation strongly depends on the electronic and steric properties of the PCs. Based on the understanding of both the formation and photodegradation of PC center dot-, we demonstrate that the efficient generation of highly reducing PC center dot- allows for the highly efficient photoredox catalyzed dehalogenation of aryl/alkyl halides at a PC loading as low as 0.001 mol% with a high oxygen tolerance. The present work provides new insights into the reactions of cyanoarene-based PC center dot- in photoredox-mediated reactions.","","","","","","","","","","","",58,59,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 6",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",92,"10.1038/s41467-022-35774-5","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-35774-5","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000935587000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Early warning of AMI, especially for patients with stable coronary artery disease (sCAD), is urgently needed. Our previous study showed that alterations in the gut microbiota were cor-related with CAD severity. Objectives: Herein, we tried to discover accurate and convenient biomarkers for AMI by combination of gut microbiota and fecal/blood/urinary metabolomics.Methods: We recruited 190 volunteers including 93 sCAD patients, 49 AMI patients, and 48 subjects with normal coronary artery (NCA), and measured their blood biochemical parameters, 16S rRNA-based gut microbiota and NMR-based fecal/blood/urinary metabolites. We further selected 20 subjects from each group and analyzed their gut microbiota by whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing.Results: Multi-omic analyses revealed that AMI patients exhibited specific changes in gut microbiota and serum/urinary/fecal metabolites as compared to subjects with sCAD or NCA. Fourteen bacterial genera and 30 metabolites (11 in feces, 10 in blood, 9 in urine) were closely related to AMI phenotypes and could accurately distinguish AMI patients from sCAD patients. Some species belonging to Alistipes, Streptococcus, Ruminococcus, Lactobacillus and Faecalibacterium were effective to distinguish AMI from sCAD and their predictive ability was confirmed in an independent cohort of CAD patients. We further selected nine indicators including 4 bacterial genera, 3 fecal and 2 urinary metabolites as a noninvasive biomarker set which can distinguish AMI from sCAD with an AUC of 0.932.Conclusion: Combination of gut microbiota and fecal/urinary metabolites provided a set of potential use-ful and noninvasive predictive biomarker for AMI from sCAD.(c) 2023 The Authors.

The calculated binding energies, two-nucleon separation energies, root-mean-square (rms) radii of neutron, proton, matter, and charge distributions, quadrupole deformations, and neutron and proton Fermi surfaces are tabulated and compared with available experimental data. The rms deviation from the 637 mass data is 1.518 MeV, providing one of the best microscopic descriptions for nuclear masses.

Although alternative sources are being explored, the majority of the world's resources of these elements are found in alkaline-silicate rocks and carbonatites. These magmatic systems also represent major sources of fluorine and phosphorus. Exploration models for critical raw materials are comparatively less well developed than those for major and precious metals, such as iron, copper, and gold, where most of the mineral exploration industry continues to focus. The diversity of lithologic relationships and a complex nomenclature for many alkaline rock types represent further barriers to the exploration and exploitation of REE-high field strength element (HFSE) resources that will facilitate the green revolution. We used a global review of maps, cross sections, and geophysical, geochemical, and petrological observations from alkaline systems to inform our description of the alkaline-silicate REE + HFSE mineral system from continental scale (1,000s km) down to deposit scale (similar to 1 km lateral). Continental-scale targeting criteria include a geodynamic trigger for low-degree mantle melting at high pressure and a mantle source enriched in REEs, volatile elements, and alkalies. At the province and district scales, targeting criteria relate to magmatic-system longevity and the conditions required for extensive fractional crystallization and the residual enrichment of the REEs and HFSEs. A compilation of maps and geophysical data were used to construct an interactive 3-D geologic model (25-km cube) that places mineralization within a depth and horizontal reference frame. It shows typical lithologic relationships sur-rounding orthomagmatic REE-Nb-Ta-Zr-Hf mineralization in layered agpaitic syenites, roof zone REE-Nb-Ta mineralization, and mineralization of REE-Nb-Zr associated with peralkaline granites and pegmatites. The resulting geologic model is presented together with recommended geophysical and geochemical approaches for exploration targeting, as well as mineral processing and environmental factors pertinent for the development of mineral resources hosted by alkaline-silicate magmatic systems.","","","","","","","","","","","",48,56,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2023,118,1,"","","","",177,208,"","10.5382/econgeo.4956","http://dx.doi.org/10.5382/econgeo.4956","","","","","","Geochemistry & Geophysics; Mineralogy","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000936153300008","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Smart architecture optimization and management are vital for wireless data center networks. With the ever-increasing demand for data center resources, the deployment of the data servers are on the rise. However, traditional wired links among servers are expensive and inflexible. Benefitting from the development of intelligent optimization and other techniques, this article studies a high-speed wireless topology for wireless data center networks. A radio propagation model based on a heat map is constructed. The line-of-sight issue and the interference problem are also discussed. By simultaneously considering the objectives of coverage, propagation intensity, and interference intensity, as well as the constraint of connectivity, the topology optimization problem is formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem. To seek the solutions, several state-of-the-art serial multiobjective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs), as well as parallel MOEAs, are employed. Prior knowledge is preferred for the grouping, and parameter adaptation is conducted in the distributed parallel algorithms. Experimental results demonstrate that the parallel MOEAs perform effectively in the optimization results and efficiently in time consumption.","","","","","","","","","","","",191,191,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2020,16,5,"","","","",3597,3605,"","10.1109/TII.2019.2952565","http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TII.2019.2952565","","","","","","Automation & Control Systems; Computer Science; Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000519588700069","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

During the game, cooperators punish defectors with class-specific probabilities and subsequently share the associated costs of sanctioning. We show that in the presence of different punishing cooperators the highest level of public cooperation is always attainable through a selection mechanism. Interestingly, the selection does not necessarily favor the evolution of punishers who would be able to prevail on their own against the defectors, nor does it always hinder the evolution of punishers who would be unable to prevail on their own. Instead, the evolutionary success of punishing strategies depends sensitively on their invasion velocities, which in turn reveals fascinating examples of both competition and cooperation among them. Furthermore, we show that under favorable conditions, when punishment is not strictly necessary for the maintenance of public cooperation, the less aggressive, mild form of sanctioning is the sole victor of the selection process. Our work reveals that natural strategy selection cannot only promote, but sometimes also hinders competition among prosocial strategies.","","","","","","","","","","","",217,217,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 27",2015,92,1,"","","","","","",12819,"10.1103/PhysRevE.92.012819","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.92.012819","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000358607000012","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The samples are mainly composed of materials similar to those of carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, particularly the CI (Ivuna-type) group. The samples consist predominantly of minerals formed in aqueous fluid on a parent planetesimal. The primary minerals were altered by fluids at a temperature of 37 degrees +/- 10 degrees C, about 5.2(-0.7)(+0.8) million (statistical) or 5.2(-2.1)(+1.6) million (systematic) years after the formation of the first solids in the Solar System. After aqueous alteration, the Ryugu samples were likely never heated above similar to 100 degrees C. The samples have a chemical composition that more closely resembles that of the Sun's photosphere than other natural samples do.","","","","","","","","","","","",208,211,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 24",2023,379,6634,"","","","",786,"+","eabn7850","10.1126/science.abn7850","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.abn7850","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:000981670800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we study the interplay of this effect and the Anderson localization (AL) in a nonreciprocal quasiperiodic lattice, dubbed nonreciprocal Aubry-Andre model, and a rescaled transition point is exactly proved. The nonreciprocity can induce not only NHSEs but also the asymmetry in localized states, characterized by two Lyapunov exponents. Meanwhile, this transition is also topological, in the sense of a winding number associated with complex eigenenergies under periodic boundary conditions (PBCs), establishing a bulk-bulk correspondence. This interplay can be realized straightforwardly by an electrical circuit with only linear passive RLC components instead of elusive nonreciprocal ones, showing the transport of a continuous wave undergoes a transition between insulating and amplifying. This paradigmatic scheme can be immediately accessed in experiments even for more nonreciprocal models and will definitely inspire the study of interplay of NHSEs and ALs as well as more other quantum/topological phenomena in various systems.","","","","","","","","","","","",261,274,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 2",2019,100,5,"","","","","","",54301,"10.1103/PhysRevB.100.054301","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.100.054301","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000478990700003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Rev. Lett. 129, 075001 (2022)]. We describe the experimental improvements that enabled N210808 and present the first experimental measurements from an igniting plasma in the laboratory. Ignition metrics like the product of hot-spot energy and pressure squared, in the absence of self-heating, increased by -35%, leading to record values and an enhancement from previous experiments in the hot-spot energy (-3x), pressure (-2x), and mass (-2x). These results are consistent with self-heating dominating other power balance terms. The burn rate increases by an order of magnitude after peak compression, and the hot-spot conditions show clear evidence for burn propagation into the dense fuel surrounding the hot spot. These novel dynamics and thermodynamic properties have never been observed on prior inertial fusion experiments.","","","","","","","","","","","",131,146,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 8",2022,106,2,"","","","","","",25202,"10.1103/PhysRevE.106.025202","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.106.025202","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000886555000002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Terpenoids are important specialized metabolites in plants with diverse adaptive functions that enable environmental interactions. Here, we report the genome assemblies of Prunella vulgaris, Plectranthus barbatus, and Leonotis leonurus. We investigate the origin and subsequent evolution of a diterpenoid biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) together with other seven species within the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Based on core genes found in the BGCs of all species examined across the Lamiaceae, we predict a simplified version of this cluster evolved in an early Lamiaceae ancestor. The current composition of the extant BGCs highlights the dynamic nature of its evolution. We elucidate the terpene backbones generated by the Callicarpa americana BGC enzymes, including miltiradiene and the terpene (+)-kaurene, and show oxidization activities of BGC cytochrome P450s. Our work reveals the fluid nature of BGC assembly and the importance of genome structure in contributing to the origin of metabolites. A diterpenoid biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) has been identified in a few species in the Lamiaceae (mint) family, but its origin and evolution remain unclear. Here, the authors report assembly of genomes of three species within the family and reveal the dynamic evolutionary trajectory of the BGC.","","","","","","","","","","","",26,30,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 20",2023,14,1,"","","","","","",343,"10.1038/s41467-023-35845-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-35845-1","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001002375100010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Consequently, drugs targeting the inactive or guanosine 5'-diphosphate-bound conformation are not expected to be effective. We describe a mechanism that enables such drugs to inhibit KRAS(G12C) signaling and cancer cell growth. Inhibition requires intact GTPase activity and occurs because drug-bound KRAS(G12C) is insusceptible to nucleotide exchange factors and thus trapped in its inactive state. Indeed, mutants completely lacking GTPase activity and those promoting exchange reduced the potency of the drug. Suppressing nucleotide exchange activity downstream of various tyrosine kinases enhanced KRAS(G12C) inhibition, whereas its potentiation had the opposite effect. These findings reveal that KRAS(G12C) undergoes nucleotide cycling in cancer cells and provide a basis for developing effective therapies to treat KRAS(G12C)-driven cancers.","","","","","","","","","","","",502,567,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 5",2016,351,6273,"","","","",604,608,"","10.1126/science.aad6204","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.aad6204","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000369291600041","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Poor binding of Env to unmutated precursors of bnAbs, including those of the VRC01 class, appears to be a major problem for bnAb induction. We engineered an immunogen that binds to VRC01-class bnAb precursors and immunized knock-in mice expressing germline-reverted VRC01 heavy chains. Induced antibodies showed characteristics of VRC01-class bnAbs, including a short CDRL3 (light-chain complementarity-determining region 3) and mutations that favored binding to near-native HIV-1 gp120 constructs. In contrast, native-like immunogens failed to activate VRC01-class precursors.

With global extraction of metal ores doubling over the past two decades, pressures related to mining have dramatically increased. In this paper, we explore where growing global metal extraction has particularly taken effect. Using fine-grain data, we investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of mining of nine metal ores (bauxite, copper, gold, iron, lead, manganese, nickel, silver and zinc) across approximately 3,000 sites of extraction worldwide between 2000 and 2019. To approach the related environmental implications, we intersect mining sites with terrestrial biomes, protected areas, and watersheds categorised by water availability. We find that 79% of global metal ore extraction in 2019 originated from five of the six most species-rich biomes, with mining volumes doubling since 2000 in tropical moist forest ecosystems. We also find that half of global metal ore extraction took place at 20 km or less from protected territories. Further, 90% of all considered extraction sites correspond to below-average relative water availability, with particularly copper and gold mining occurring in areas with significant water scarcity. Our study has far-reaching implications for future global and local policy and resource management responses to mitigate the negative effects of the expected expansion of metal mining.","","","","","","","","","","","",106,111,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL",2021,69,"","","","","","","",102303,"10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2021.102303","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2021.102303","","JUN 2021","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology; Geography","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000687258500011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables.","","","","","","","","","","","",28,29,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 11",2023,10,1,"","","","","","",272,"10.1038/s41597-023-02080-8","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02080-8","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000992563400003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The production methodology was optimized to attain the maximum productivity as follows: 4 mM of precursor, at pH 8, incubation temperature of 35 degrees C, and reaction time of 36 h between metabolites and precursor. The as-formed MgO-NPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, TEM, SEM-EDX, XRD, DLS, FT-IR, and XPS analyses. These analytical techniques proved to gain crystalline, homogenous, and well-dispersed spherical MgO-NPs with an average size of 20.38 +/- 9.9 nm. The potentiality of MgO-NPs was dose- and time-dependent. The biogenic MgO-NPs was found to be a promising antimicrobial agent against the pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans with inhibition zones of 10.6 +/- 0.4, 11.5 +/- 0.5, 13.7 +/- 0.5, 14.3 +/- 0.7, and 14.7 +/- 0.6 mm, respectively, at 200 mu g mL(-1). Moreover, MgO-NPs manifested larvicidal and adult repellence activity against Culex pipiens at very low concentrations. The highest decolorization percentages of tanning effluents were 95.6 +/- 1.6% at 100 mu g/ 100 mL after 180 min. At this condition, the physicochemical parameters of tannery effluents, including TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, and conductivity were reduced with percentages of 97.9%, 98.2%, 87.8%, 95.9%, and 97.3%, respectively. Moreover, the chromium ion was adsorbed with percentages of 98.2% at optimum experimental conditions.","","","","","","","","","","","",113,115,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2021,7,5,"","","","","","",372,"10.3390/jof7050372","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/jof7050372","","","","","","Microbiology; Mycology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000654325900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

SUMMARY ANSWER: Although 40% of all patients showed primary causes of infertility, which could be subdivided into three groups based on the severity of their effect, similar to 75% of oligozoospermia cases remained idiopathic. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: There are few large-scale epidemiological studies analyzing the causes of male factor infertility. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: A prospective clinical-epidemiological study was conducted at the Andrology Centre, Tartu University Hospital between 2005 and 2013, recruiting male partners of couples failing to conceive a child for over >= 12 months. Among 8518 patients, 1737 (20.4%) were diagnosed with severe male factor infertility. A reference group of fertile controls was comprised of 325 partners of pregnant women. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: The mean age of infertility patients and fertile controls was 33.2 +/- 7.3 and 31.7 +/- 6.3 years, respectively. All participants were examined using a standardized andrology workup, accompanied by a structured medical interview. Hormonal analysis included serum FSH, LH and testosterone. Semen quality was determined in accordance to the World Health Organization recommendations. Cases with spermatozoa concentrations of <= 5 million/ml were screened for chromosomal aberrations and Y-chromosomal microdeletions. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: The primary cause of infertility was defined for 695 of 1737 patients (-40%). The analyzed causal factors could be divided into absolute (secondary hypogonadism, genetic causes, seminal tract obstruction), severe (oncological diseases, severe sexual dysfunction) and plausible causal factors (congenital anomalies in uro-genital tract, acquired or secondary testicular damage). The latter were also detected for 11 (3.4%) men with proven fertility (diagnoses: unilateral cryptorchidism, testis cancer, orchitis, mumps orchitis). The causal factors behind the most severe forms of impaired spermatogenesis were relatively well understood; causes were assigned: for aspermia in 46/46 cases (100%), for azoospermia in 321/388 cases (82.7%), and for cryptozoospermia in 54/130 cases (41.5%). In contrast, 75% of oligozoospermia cases remained unexplained. The main cause of aspermia was severe sexual dysfunction (71.7% of aspermia patients). Azoospermia patients accounted for 86.4% of all cases diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism and 97.1% of patients with seminal tract obstruction. Of patients with a known genetic factor, 87.4% had extreme infertility (azoo-, crypto-or aspermia). The prevalence of congenital anomalies in the uro-genital tract was not clearly correlated with the severity of impaired sperm production. Previously defined 'potential contributing factors' varicocele and leukocytospermia were excluded as the primary causes of male infertility. However, their incidence was >2-fold higher (31.0 vs 13.5% and 16.1 vs 7.4%; P < 0.001) in the idiopathic infertility group compared to controls. In addition, the proportions of overweight (or obese) patients and patients suffering from a chronic disease were significantly increased in almost all of the patient subgroups. LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION: The study included only subjects with reduced total spermatozoa counts. Thus, these findings cannot be automatically applied to all male factor infertility cases. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The novel insights and improved clarity achieved in the comprehensive analysis regarding the absolute, causative and plausible factors behind male infertility, as well as the 'potential contributing factors', will be valuable tools in updating the current clinical guidelines. The study highlights knowledge gaps and reiterates an urgent need to uncover the causes and mechanisms behind, and potential treatments of, oligozoospermic cases, representing the majority of idiopathic infertility patients (86.3%). STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S): The project was financed by the EU through the ERDF, project HAPPY PREGNANCY, no. 3.2.0701.12-004 (M.P., M.L.)and the Estonian Research Council: grants PUT181 (M.P.) and IUT34-12 (M.L.).

Many quantum phases have been discovered in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG), including correlated insulating(1), unconventional superconducting(2-5) and magnetic topological(6-9) phases. The lack of microscopic information(10,11) of possible broken symmetries has hampered our understanding of these phases(12-17). Here we use high-resolution scanning tunnelling microscopy to study the wavefunctions of the correlated phases in MATBG. The squares of the wavefunctions of gapped phases, including those of the correlated insulating, pseudogap and superconducting phases, show distinct broken-symmetry patterns with a root 3 x root 3 super-periodicity on the graphene atomic lattice that has a complex spatial dependence on the moire scale. We introduce a symmetry-based analysis using a set of complex-valued local order parameters, which show intricate textures that distinguish the various correlated phases. We compare the observed quantum textures of the correlated insulators at fillings of +/- 2 electrons per moire unit cell to those expected for proposed theoretical ground states. In typical MATBG devices, these textures closely match those of the proposed incommensurate Kekule spiral order(15), whereas in ultralow-strain samples, our data have local symmetries like those of a time-reversal symmetric intervalley coherent phase(12). Moreover, the superconducting state of MATBG shows strong signatures of intervalley coherence, only distinguishable from those of the insulator with our phase-sensitive measurements.","","","","","","","","","","","",61,62,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG 17",2023,620,7974,"","","","",525,"+","","10.1038/s41586-023-06226-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-023-06226-x","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001169143500005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Peri-implant diseases were also re-defined in the 2018 classification. It is well established that both peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are highly prevalent. In addition, peri-implantitis is particularly challenging to manage and is accompanied by significant morbidity.AimTo develop an S3 level CPG for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases, focusing on the implementation of interdisciplinary approaches required to prevent the development of peri-implant diseases or their recurrence, and to treat/rehabilitate patients with dental implants following the development of peri-implant diseases.Materials and MethodsThis S3 level CPG was developed by the European Federation of Periodontology, following methodological guidance from the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation process. A rigorous and transparent process included synthesis of relevant research in 13 specifically commissioned systematic reviews, evaluation of the quality and strength of evidence, formulation of specific recommendations, and a structured consensus process involving leading experts and a broad base of stakeholders.ResultsThe S3 level CPG for the prevention and treatment of peri-implant diseases culminated in the recommendation for implementation of various different interventions before, during and after implant placement/loading. Prevention of peri-implant diseases should commence when dental implants are planned, surgically placed and prosthetically loaded. Once the implants are loaded and in function, a supportive peri-implant care programme should be structured, including periodical assessment of peri-implant tissue health. If peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis are detected, appropriate treatments for their management must be rendered.ConclusionThe present S3 level CPG informs clinical practice, health systems, policymakers and, indirectly, the public on the available and most effective modalities to maintain healthy peri-implant tissues, and to manage peri-implant diseases, according to the available evidence at the time of publication.","","","","","","","","","","","",175,185,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2023,50,"","",26,"SI","",4,76,"","10.1111/jcpe.13823","http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/jcpe.13823","","JUN 2023","","","","Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:001000662600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Andrei","","","Magic-Angle Twisted Bilayer Graphene as a Topological Heavy Fermion Problem","PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Magic-angle (theta = 1.05 degrees) twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG) has shown two seemingly contradictory characters: the localization and quantum-dot-like behavior in STM experiments, and delocalization in transport experiments. We construct a model, which naturally captures the two aspects, from the BistritzerMacDonald (BM) model in a first principle spirit. A set of local flat-band orbitals (f) centered at the AA-stacking regions are responsible to the localization. A set of extended topological semimetallic conduction bands (c), which are at small energetic separation from the local orbitals, are responsible to the delocalization and transport. The topological flat bands of the BM model appear as a result of the hybridization of f and c electrons. This model then provides a new perspective for the strong correlation physics, which is now described as strongly correlated f electrons coupled to nearly free c electrons-we hence name our model as the topological heavy fermion model. Using this model, we obtain the U(4) and U(4) x U(4) symmetries of Refs. [1-5] as well as the correlated insulator phases and their energies. Simple rules for the ground states and their Chern numbers are derived. Moreover, features such as the large dispersion of the charge +/- 1 excitations [2,6,7], and the minima of the charge gap at the GM point can now, for the first time, be understood both qualitatively and quantitatively in a simple physical picture. Our mapping opens the prospect of using heavy-fermion physics machinery to the superconducting physics of MATBG.","","","","","","","","","","","",138,140,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 22",2022,129,4,"","","","","","",47601,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.047601","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.047601","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000840947600003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

From a microstructural perspective, the inclusion of atoms with larger ionic radius differences (reaching a 4.11 % contrast with Yb2Si2O7) can cause sever lattice shrinkage (9.49 % compared to single-component disilicates), which leads to lower thermal conductivity and a change in the thermal expansion coefficient. At 1200 degrees C, the thermal expansion coefficient of the five high-entropy disilicates ranged from 4.57 x 10-6 K- 1 to 4.84 x 10-6 K-1, and the minimum thermal conductivity was only 1.14 W/m & sdot;K. Additionally, the local charge disorder facilitates the transfer of electrons around Si-O to Sc, which reduces the covalent bond strength of Si-O and regulates the thermal expansion coefficient. This phenomenon has been proved in the five non-equimolar high-entropy disilicates with different contents of Sc, effectively regulating the thermal expansion coefficient in 4.08 x 10-6 K-1 to 5.04 x 10-6 K-1. This study presents a novel method for controlling the thermal properties of disilicates and expands the possibilities for selecting thermal protective coating materials for ultra-high temperature SiC-based ceramic composites.","","","","","","","","","","","",73,73,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2023,236,"","","","","","","",112485,"10.1016/j.matdes.2023.112485","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2023.112485","","NOV 2023","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001121625600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Given the reported promising results of open-label fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) therapy in patients with predominant abdominal bloating, we studied efficacy of this treatment in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. METHODS: Patients with refractory IBS, defined as failure of >= 3 conventional therapies, were randomly assigned to single-dose nasojejunal administration of donor stools (n = 43) or autologous stools (n = 19) in a double-blind study, performed from December 2015 through October 2017, and were followed up for 1 year. IBS-related symptoms were assessed by using a daily symptom diary to determine general abdominal discomfort, abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, and flatulence on a scale of 1-6. Number of daily bowel movements, consistency of the stools, and abdominal circumference were also recorded. Patients completed the IBS-specific quality of life questionnaire. Primary endpoints were improvement of IBS symptoms and bloating at 12 weeks (response). Secondary endpoints were changes in IBS symptom scores and quality of life. Stool samples were collected for microbiota amplicon sequencing. Open-label retransplantation was offered after the trial. RESULTS: At week 12, 56% of patients given donor stool reported improvement in both primary endpoints compared with 26% of patients given placebo (P = .03). Patients given donor stool had significant improvements in level of discomfort (mean reduction, 19%; median score before FMT, 3.98; range, 2.13-6.00; median score after FMT, 3.1; range, 951.29-5.90), stool frequency (mean reduction, 13%; median score before FMT, 2.10; range, 0.57-14.29; median score after FMT 1.7; range, 0.71-4.29), urgency (mean reduction, 38%; median score before FMT, 0.61; range, 0.00-1.00; median score after FMT, 0.37; range, 0.00-1.00), abdominal pain (mean reduction, 26%; median score before FMT, 3.88; range, 1.57-5.17; median score after FMT, 2.80; range, 1.14-4.94), flatulence (mean reduction, 10%; median score before FMT, 3.42; range, 0.71-6.00; median score after FMT, 3.07; range, 0.79-4.23), and quality of life (mean increase, 16%; median score before FMT 32.6; range, 11-119; median score after FMT, 43.1; range, 32.25-99). A significantly higher proportion of women given donor stool (69%) had a response than men (29%) (P = .01). Fecal samples from responders had higher diversity of microbiomes before administration of donor material than fecal samples from nonresponders (P = .04) and distinct baseline composition (P = .04), but no specific marker taxa were associated with response. After single FMT, 21% of patients given donor stool reported effects that lasted for longer than 1 year compared with 5% of patients given placebo stool. A second FMT reduced symptoms in 67% of patients with an initial response to donor stool but not in patients with a prior nonresponse. CONCLUSIONS: In a randomized trial of patients with treatment-refractory IBS with predominant bloating, FMT relieved symptoms compared with placebo (autologous transplant), although the effects decreased over 1 year. A second FMT restored the response patients with a prior response. Response was associated with composition of the fecal microbiomes before FMT; this might be used to as a biomarker to select patients for this treatment.","","","","","","","","","","","",120,132,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2021,160,1,"","","","",145,"+","","10.1053/j.gastro.2020.07.013","http://dx.doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2020.07.013","","","","","","Gastroenterology & Hepatology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000600644700029","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory programmed cell death that is related to many diseases. The present study investigated the effect of emodin on pyroptosis in cardiomyocytes. Materials and methods: Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham, I/R, and I/R+Emodin groups. I/R model was subjected to 30 minutes' ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery, followed by 2 hours of reperfusion. Cardiomyocytes were exposed to hypoxic conditions for 1 hour and normoxic conditions for 2 hours. The level of the pyroptosis was detected by Western blot, real-time PCR analysis, and ELISA. Results: The level of gasdermin D-N domains was upregulated in cardiomyocytes during I/R or hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment. Moreover, emodin increased the rate of cell survival in vitro and decreased the myocardial infarct size in vivo via suppressing the levels of I/R-induced pyroptosis. Additionally, the expression of TLR4, MyD88, phospho-I kappa B alpha, phospho-NF-kappa B, and the NLRP3 inflammasome was significantly upregulated in cardiomyocytes subjected to H/R treatment, while emodin suppressed the expression of these proteins. Conclusion: This study confirms that emodin treatment was able to alleviate myocardial I/R injury and inhibit pyroptosis in vivo and in vitro. The inhibitory effect of emodin on pyroptosis was mediated by suppressing the TLR4/MyD88/NF-kappa B/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. Therefore, emodin may provide an alternative treatment for myocardial I/R injury.","","","","","","","","","","","",151,176,"","","","","","","","","","","",2019,13,"","","","","",975,990,"","10.2147/DDDT.S195412","http://dx.doi.org/10.2147/DDDT.S195412","","","","","","Pharmacology & Pharmacy","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000462317900002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In particular, thrombotic complications in patients with COVID-19 are common and contribute to organ failure and mortality. Patients with severe COVID-19 present with hemostatic abnormalities that mimic disseminated intravascular coagulopathy associated with sepsis, with the major difference being increased risk of thrombosis rather than bleeding. However, whether severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection alters platelet function to contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19 remains unknown. In this study, we report altered platelet gene expression and functional responses in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. RNA sequencing demonstrated distinct changes in the gene-expression profile of circulating platelets of COVID-19 patients. Pathway analysis revealed differential gene-expression changes in pathways associated with protein ubiquitination, antigen presentation, and mitochondria! dysfunction. The receptor for SARS-CoV-2 binding, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), was not detected by messenger RNA (mRNA) or protein in platelets. Surprisingly, mRNA from the SARS-CoV-2 N1 gene was detected in platelets from 2 of 25 COVID-19 patients, suggesting that platelets may take-up SARS-COV-2 mRNA independent of ACE2. Resting platelets from COVID-19 patients had increased P-selectin expression basally and upon activation. Circulating platelet-neutrophil, -monocyte, and -T-cell aggregates were all significantly elevated in COVID-19 patients compared with healthy donors. Furthermore, platelets from COVID-19 patients aggregated faster and showed increased spreading on both fibrinogen and collagen. The increase in platelet activation and aggregation could partially be attributed to increased MAPK pathway activation and thromboxane generation. These findings demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with platelet hyperreactivity, which may contribute to COVID-19 pathophysiology.","","","","","","","","","","","",670,692,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 10",2020,136,11,"","","","",1317,1329,"","10.1182/blood.2020007214","http://dx.doi.org/10.1182/blood.2020007214","","","","","","Hematology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000572349600015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Previous studies demonstrated that the training duration should be relatively long to obtain acceptable channel state information. To address this requirement, we adopt a joint channel-and-data (JCD) estimation method based on Bayes-optimal inference. This method yields minimal mean square errors with respect to the channels and payload data. We develop a Bayes-optimal JCD estimator using a recent technique based on approximate message passing. We then present an analytical framework to study the theoretical performance of the estimator in the large-system limit. Simulation results confirm our analytical results, which allow the efficient evaluation of the performance of quantized massive MIMO systems and provide insights into effective system design.","","","","","","","","","","","",263,281,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 15",2016,64,10,"","","","",2541,2556,"","10.1109/TSP.2015.2508786","http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TSP.2015.2508786","","","","","","Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000374888900007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Rhesus monkeys primed with Ad26 vectors expressing SIVsmE543 Env, Gag, and Pol and boosted with AS01B-adjuvanted SIVmac32H Env gp140 demonstrated complete protection in 50% of vaccinated animals against a series of repeated, heterologous, intrarectal SIVmac251 challenges that infected all controls. Protective efficacy correlated with the functionality of Env-specific antibody responses. Comparable protection was also observed with a similar Ad/Env vaccine against repeated, heterologous, intrarectal SHIV-SF162P3 challenges.

["J","Lakens, D; Caldwell, AR","","","","Lakens, Daniel; Caldwell, Aaron R.","","","Simulation-Based Power Analysis for Factorial Analysis of Variance Designs","ADVANCES IN METHODS AND PRACTICES IN PSYCHOLOGICAL SCIENCE","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Researchers often rely on analysis of variance (ANOVA) when they report results of experiments. To ensure that a study is adequately powered to yield informative results with an ANOVA, researchers can perform an a priori power analysis. However, power analysis for factorial ANOVA designs is often a challenge. Current software solutions do not allow power analyses for complex designs with several within-participants factors. Moreover, power analyses often need eta(2)(p) or Cohen's f as input, but these effect sizes are not intuitive and do not generalize to different experimental designs. We have created the R package Superpower and online Shiny apps to enable researchers without extensive programming experience to perform simulation-based power analysis for ANOVA designs of up to three within- or between-participants factors. Predicted effects are entered by specifying means, standard deviations, and, for within-participants factors, the correlations. The simulation provides the statistical power for all ANOVA main effects, interactions, and individual comparisons. The software can plot power across a range of sample sizes, can control for multiple comparisons, and can compute power when the homogeneity or sphericity assumption is violated. This Tutorial demonstrates how to perform a priori power analysis to design informative studies for main effects, interactions, and individual comparisons and highlights important factors that determine the statistical power for factorial ANOVA designs.","","","","","","","","","","","",227,248,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2021,4,1,"","","","","","",2515245920951503,"10.1177/2515245920951503","http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2515245920951503","","","","","","Psychology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000708953200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The presence of the transient electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star GW170817 led to the first standard-siren measurement of H-0. Here we additionally use binary black hole detections in conjunction with galaxy catalogs and report a joint measurement. Our updated measurement is H-0 = 69(-8)(+16) km s(-1) Mpc(-1) (68.3% of the highest density posterior interval with a flat-in-log prior) which is an improvement by a factor of 1.04 (about 4%) over the GW170817-only value of 69(-8)(+17) km s(-1) Mpc(-1). A significant additional contribution currently comes from GW170814, a loud and well-localized detection from a part of the sky thoroughly covered by the Dark Energy Survey. With numerous detections anticipated over the upcoming years, an exhaustive understanding of other systematic effects are also going to become increasingly important. These results establish the path to cosmology using gravitational-wave observations with and without transient electromagnetic counterparts.","","","","","","","","","","","",154,173,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2021,909,2,"","","","","","",218,"10.3847/1538-4357/abdcb7","http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/abdcb7","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000630722800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Weak stock-recruitment relationships together with the time-consuming work required for age validation and high-volume annual age determinations make traditional age-based modelling impractical. We propose that the best method for cephalopod assessment involves innovative depletion models, fitted with in-season data on catch numbers and fishing effort, to produce realistic estimates of stock biomass. A fast lane assessment approach is suggested that includes high-frequency data collection for separate, in-season stock assessments of each cohort to ensure sustainable exploitation of these short-lived resources. However, most cephalopod fisheries are data-poor and/or lack the infrastructure and resources needed to apply depletion methods; therefore, we also present alternative assessment methods that have been recently applied worldwide. We also offer suggestions for further research on the remaining challenges of cephalopod stock assessment and management.","","","","","","","","","","","",78,79,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2021,78,2,"","","","",714,730,"","10.1093/icesjms/fsaa038","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsaa038","","","","","","Fisheries; Marine & Freshwater Biology; Oceanography","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000670930600020","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

What are the optimal number of antennas, active users, and transmit power? The aim of this paper is to answer this fundamental question. We consider jointly the uplink and downlink with different processing schemes at the base station and propose a new realistic power consumption model that reveals how the above parameters affect the EE. Closed-form expressions for the EE-optimal value of each parameter, when the other two are fixed, are provided for zero-forcing (ZF) processing in single-cell scenarios. These expressions prove how the parameters interact. For example, in sharp contrast to common belief, the transmit power is found to increase (not to decrease) with the number of antennas. This implies that energy-efficient systems can operate in high signal-to-noise ratio regimes in which interference-suppressing signal processing is mandatory. Numerical and analytical results show that the maximal EE is achieved by a massive MIMO setup wherein hundreds of antennas are deployed to serve a relatively large number of users using ZF processing. The numerical results show the same behavior under imperfect channel state information and in symmetric multi-cell scenarios.","","","","","","","","","","","",548,575,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2015,14,6,"","","","",3059,3075,"","10.1109/TWC.2015.2400437","http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TWC.2015.2400437","","","","","","Engineering; Telecommunications","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000356178100011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Our objective is to investigate prevalences, early onset markers, genetic predispositions, and the role of lifestyle factors of major civilization diseases, with primary focus on metabolic and vascular diseases, heart function, cognitive impairment, brain function, depression, sleep disorders and vigilance dysregulation, retinal and optic nerve degeneration, and allergies. Methods/design: The study covers a main age range from 40-79 years with particular deep phenotyping in elderly participants above the age of 60. The baseline examination was conducted from August 2011 to November 2014. All participants underwent an extensive core assessment programme (5-6 h) including structured interviews, questionnaires, physical examinations, and biospecimen collection. Participants over 60 underwent two additional assessment programmes (3-4 h each) on two separate visits including deeper cognitive testing, brain magnetic resonance imaging, diagnostic interviews for depression, and electroencephalography. Discussion: The participation rate was 33 %. The assessment programme was accepted well and completely passed by almost all participants. Biomarker analyses have already been performed in all participants. Genotype, transcriptome and metabolome analyses have been conducted in subgroups. The first follow-up examination will commence in 2016.","","","","","","","","","","","",270,272,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 22",2015,15,"","","","","","","",691,"10.1186/s12889-015-1983-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12889-015-1983-z","","","","","","Public, Environmental & Occupational Health","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000358196800003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Physicians often prescribe a variety of dosage forms with different administration methods, which fail to provide an efficient and convenient mode of drug delivery. The aim of this work was to develop a new type of hybrid material incorporating both electrosprayed core-shell microparticles and electrospun nanofibers. A traditional Chinese medicine (Ningmitai, NMT) and a Western medicine (ciprofloxacin, CIP) were co-encapsulated within this material and were designed to be released in a separately controlled manner. Utilizing polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a hydrophilic filament-forming polymer and pH-sensitive Eudragit (R) S100 (ES100) as the particulate polymeric matrix, a combined electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) method comprising coaxial electrospraying and blending electrospinning, was used to create the hybrids in a single-step and straightforward manner. A series of characterization methods were conducted to analyze both the working process and its final products. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy revealed that the EHDA hybrids comprised of both CIP-PVP nanofibers and NMT-ES100 core-shell microparticles. Multiple methods confirmed the rapid release of CIP and the sustained release of NMT. The antibacterial experiments indicated that the hybrids exhibited a more potent antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli dh5 alpha and Bacillus subtilis Wb800 than either the separate nanofibers or microparticles. The amalgamation of fibrous nanomedicine and particulate micromedicine can expand the horizon of new types of medicines. The integration of electrospinning and coaxial electrospraying provides a straightforward approach to fabrication. By combining hydrophilic soluble polymers and pH-sensitive polymers in the hybrids, we can ensure the separate sequential controlled release of CIP and NMT for a potential synergistic and convenient therapy for bacterial prostatitis.","","","","","","","","","","","",48,48,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 15",2023,11,"","","","","","","",1308004,"10.3389/fbioe.2023.1308004","http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2023.1308004","","","","","","Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; Engineering","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001114186200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here we present the data obtained from 2345 acute leukemia patients. Genomic breakpoints within the MLL gene and the involved translocation partner genes (TPGs) were determined and 11 novel TPGs were identified. Thus, a total of 135 different MLL rearrangements have been identified so far, of which 94 TPGs are now characterized at the molecular level. In all, 35 out of these 94 TPGs occur recurrently, but only 9 specific gene fusions account for more than 90% of all illegitimate recombinations of the MLL gene. We observed an age-dependent breakpoint shift with breakpoints localizing within MLL intron 11 associated with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and younger patients, while breakpoints in MLL intron 9 predominate in AML or older patients. The molecular characterization of MLL breakpoints suggests different etiologies in the different age groups and allows the correlation of functional domains of the MLL gene with clinical outcome. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the MLL recombinome in acute leukemia and demonstrates that the establishment of patient-specific chromosomal fusion sites allows the design of specific PCR primers for minimal residual disease analyses for all patients.","","","","","","","","","","","",501,534,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2018,32,2,"","","","",273,284,"","10.1038/leu.2017.213","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/leu.2017.213","","","","","","Oncology; Hematology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000424517300004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It is of particular concern in developing countries like Ethiopia, where milk and milk products are scarce. The objectives of the study were to estimate the prevalence of mastitis, identify the cow-and herd-level potential risk factors and isolate Staphylococcus aureus, one of etiological agents for contagious mastitis, from cows positive for mastitis. A total of 529 lactating cows selected randomly from 95 herds were screened by California mastitis test (CMT) for sub-clinical mastitis. Also 172 milk samples collected from CMT positive cows were cultured for isolation of S. aureus. Results: Based on CMT result and clinical examination, the prevalence of mastitis at herd-level was 74.7% (95% CI: 64.5, 82.8). The corresponding cow-level prevalence was 62.6% (95% CI: 58.3, 66.7), of which 59.2 and 3.4% were sub-clinical and clinical mastitis cases, respectively. S. aureus was isolated from 51.2% of the milk samples cultured and 73.2% of the herds affected with mastitis. In the multivariable logistic regression model, the herd-level factors significantly associated (p < 0.05) with the presence of mastitis were herd size, bedding material, and milking mastitic cows last, while at cow-level, breed, parity, stage of lactation, udder and leg hygiene, and teat end shape were noted to have a significant effect on mastitis occurrence. Conclusion: The very high prevalence of mastitis, more importantly the sub-clinical one, in the herds examined revealed the huge potential economic loss the sector suffers. Perhaps this was attributed to lack of implementation of the routine mastitis prevention and control practices by all of the herd owners. The findings of this study warrants the need for strategic approach including dairy extension that focus on enhancing dairy farmers' awareness and practice of hygienic milking, regular screening for sub-clinical mastitis, dry cow therapy and culling of chronically infected cows.","","","","","","","","","","","",216,239,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 3",2016,12,"","","","","","","",270,"10.1186/s12917-016-0905-3","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12917-016-0905-3","","","","","","Veterinary Sciences","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000389846800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, the chitosan-based composite fibrous adsorbent was fabricated and used as a novel and facile eliminator in the process of removing cationic methyl orange (MO) from the water medium. Different methods were applied to check the properties of the desired composite fibrous adsorbent. The removal value showed that the chitosan-embedded composite fibrous adsorbent has super characteristics and can be removed the organic dye from the water. The influence of pH, time, temperature, eliminator quantity, and MO content was explored. With increasing time and eliminator quantity, the adsorption efficiency increased. The composite fibrous adsorbent with the advantage of its high functionality and combined micro-nanomorphology features, has emerged as a very promising candidate for obtaining versatile and robust adsorbents. This work presents how the tunned synthesis of composite fibrous adsorbent tailored their nanoarchitecture giving rise to adsorption capacities toward cleaning aqueous samples polluted with MO dye. The composite fibrous adsorbent was prepared by the direct immobilization method, with normal aging temperature, in order to study the effect of synthesis conditions on the adsorption properties of MO dye. The solution acidity was exhibited as the key factor, and a suitable pH of 5.50 was selected based on the efficiency. The competing ions were not adversely affected in the dye adsorption as defined by the stable bonding mechanism. The adsorption data were highly fitted with the Langmuir adsorption model with monolayer coverage. The determined maximum adsorption was 175.45 mg/g, which was comparable with the other forms of materials. The adsorbed MO dye elution was evaluated using ethanol and then the composite fibrous adsorbent was ready to use for MO dye adsorption after washing with water without significant loss in its functionality. Therefore, we explored the tunned morphology of composite fibrous adsorbent for obtaining performant adsorbents for the elimination of refractory pollutants in wastewater.","","","","","","","","","","","",190,191,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 20",2023,673,"","","","","","","",131859,"10.1016/j.colsurfa.2023.131859","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.colsurfa.2023.131859","","JUN 2023","","","","Chemistry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001144186400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Metabolites in the small intestine originate from host secretions, plus the ingested exposome(1) and microbial transformations. Here we probe the spatiotemporal variation of upper intestinal luminal contents during routine daily digestion in 15 healthy male and female participants. For this, we use a non-invasive, ingestible sampling device to collect and analyse 274 intestinal samples and 60 corresponding stool homogenates by combining five mass spectrometry assays(2,3) and 16S rRNA sequencing. We identify 1,909 metabolites, including sulfonolipids and fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFA) lipids. We observe that stool and intestinal metabolomes differ dramatically. Food metabolites display trends in dietary biomarkers, unexpected increases in dicarboxylic acids along the intestinal tract and a positive association between luminal keto acids and fruit intake. Diet-derived and microbially linked metabolites account for the largest inter-individual differences. Notably, two individuals who had taken antibiotics within 6 months before sampling show large variation in levels of bioactive FAHFAs and sulfonolipids and other microbially related metabolites. From inter-individual variation, we identify Blautia species as a candidate to be involved in FAHFA metabolism. In conclusion, non-invasive, in vivo sampling of the human small intestine and ascending colon under physiological conditions reveals links between diet, host and microbial metabolism.","","","","","","","","","","","",63,70,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2023,5,5,"","","","",777,"+","","10.1038/s42255-023-00777-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s42255-023-00777-z","","MAY 2023","","","","Endocrinology & Metabolism","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000986486300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We also focused on pancreatic cancer and female lung cancer. Materials and methods: We obtained cancer death certifications and population data from the World Health Organization and Eurostat databases for 1970-2015. We predicted numbers of deaths and age-standardised (world population) rates for 2021 for total cancers and 10 major cancer sites, using a joinpoint regression model. We calculated the number of avoided deaths over the period 1989-2021. Results: We predicted 1 267 000 cancer deaths for 2021 in the EU, corresponding to age-standardised rates of 130.4/100 000 men (-6.6% since 2015) and 81.0/100 000 for women (-4.5%). We estimated further falls in male lung cancer rates, but still trending upward in women by +6.5%, reaching 14.5/100 000 in 2021. The breast cancer predicted rate in the EU was 13.3/100 000 (-7.8%). The rates for stomach and leukaemias in both sexes and for bladder in males are predicted to fall by >10%; trends for other cancer sites were also favourable, except for the pancreas, which showed stable patterns in both sexes, with predicted rates of 8.1/100 000 in men and 5.6/100 000 in women. Rates for pancreatic cancer in EU men aged 25-49 and 50-64 years declined, respectively, by 10% and 1.8%, while for those aged 65+ years increased by 1.3%. Rates fell for young women only (-3.4%). Over 1989-2021, about 5 million cancer deaths were avoided in the EU27 compared with peak rates in 1988. Conclusion: Overall cancer mortality continues to fall in both sexes. However, specific focus is needed on pancreatic cancer, which shows a sizeable decline for young men only. Tobacco control remains a priority for the prevention of pancreatic and other tobacco-related cancers, which account for one-third of the total EU cancer deaths, especially in women, who showed less favourable trends.","","","","","","","","","","","",115,124,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2021,32,4,"","","","",478,487,"","10.1016/j.annonc.2021.01.006","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.annonc.2021.01.006","","MAR 2021","","","","Oncology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000629502100009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The collector performance of hydroxamic acid was investigated for scheelite and gangue calcite, and the flotation separation test of scheelite and calcite was carried out with CIHA as the collector. The interaction mechanism between hydroxamic acid and scheelite minerals has also been investigated through zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) experiments, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments, and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The single mineral flotation test and artificially mixed ore showed that CIHA had an excellent collection effect and selectivity. Zeta potential, FTIR, and XPS showed that CIHA was adsorbed on the scheelite surface by strong chemical adsorption. The active group of CIHA was analyzed through quantum chemical calculation. It was speculated that C@O and NAO bonds could synthesize a five-membered chelated hydroxamic acid group with Ca element chelate on scheelite surface, changing hydrophobicity and making it more likely to emerge from the pulp. & COPY; 2023 Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of China University of Mining & Technology.

The occlusion of proximal pulmonary arteries by fibrotic intravascular material, in combination with a secondary microvasculopathy of vessels <500 mu m, leads to increased pulmonary vascular resistance and progressive right heart failure. The mechanism responsible for the transformation of red clots into fibrotic material remnants has not yet been elucidated. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, the diagnosis is suspected when a ventilation/perfusion lung scan shows mismatched perfusion defects, and confirmed by right heart catheterisation and vascular imaging. Today, in addition to lifelong anticoagulation, treatment modalities include surgery, angioplasty and medical treatment according to the localisation and characteristics of the lesions. This statement outlines a review of the literature and current practice concerning diagnosis and management of CTEPH. It covers the definitions, diagnosis, epidemiology, follow-up after acute pulmonary embolism, pathophysiology, treatment by pulmonary endarterectomy, balloon pulmonary angioplasty, drugs and their combination, rehabilitation and new lines of research in CTEPH. It represents the first collaboration of the European Respiratory Society, the International CTEPH Association and the European Reference Network-Lung in the pulmonary hypertension domain.

Sample availability can often be limited, especially in cases of clinical trial material, when multiple types of testing are required from a single sample or timepoint. Maximizing the amount of information that can be obtained from a single sample not only provides more in-depth characterization of the immune system but also serves to address the issue of limited sample availability. The panel presented here identifies CD4 T cells, CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells, gamma delta T cells, NKT-like cells, B cells, NK cells, monocytes and dendritic cells. For each specific cell type, the panel includes markers for further characterization by including a selection of activation and differentiation markers, as well as chemokine receptors. Moreover, the combination of multiple markers in one tube might lead to the discovery of new immune phenotypes and their relevance in certain diseases. Of note, this panel was designed to include only surface markers to avoid the need for fixation and permeabilization steps. The panel can be used for studies aimed at characterizing the immune response in the context of infectious or autoimmune diseases, monitoring cancer patients on immuno- or chemotherapy, and discovery of unique and targetable biomarkers. Different from all previously published OMIPs, this panel was developed using a full spectrum flow cytometer, a technology that has allowed the effective use of 40 fluorescent markers in a single panel. The panel was developed using cryopreserved human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy adults (Table 1). Although we have not tested the panel on fresh PBMCs or whole blood, it is anticipated that the panel could be used in those sample preparations without further optimization. @ 2020 Cytek Biosciences, Inc.Cytometry Part Apublished by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of International Society for Advancement of Cytometry.","","","","","","","","","","","",207,225,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2020,97,10,"","","","",1044,1051,"","10.1002/cyto.a.24213","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cyto.a.24213","","AUG 2020","","","","Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; Cell Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000564027800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Here, we extend a recently introduced approach based on density-functional perturbation theory (DFPT) for the calculation of the onsite Hubbard U to also compute the intersite Hubbard V. DFPT allows us to reduce significantly computational costs, improve numerical accuracy, and fully automate the calculation of the Hubbard parameters by recasting the linear response of a localized perturbation into an array of monochromatic perturbations that can be calculated in the primitive cell. In addition, here we generalize the entire formalism from norm-conserving to ultrasoft and projector-augmented wave formulations, and to metallic ground states. After benchmarking DFPT against the conventional real-space Hubbard linear response in a supercell, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the present extended Hubbard formulation in determining the equilibrium crystal structure of LixMnPO4 (x = 0, 1) and the subtle energetics of Li intercalation.","","","","","","","","","","","",124,129,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 29",2021,103,4,"","","","","","",45141,"10.1103/PhysRevB.103.045141","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.103.045141","","","","","","Materials Science; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000613141300003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Clinical statements are made in comparison to what is generally accepted as the gold standard (i.e. transurethral resection of the prostate [TURP]-monopolar and/or bipolar). This guideline is designed to be used in conjunction with the associated treatment algorithm. Conclusions: The prevalence and the severity of LUTS increases as men age and is an important diagnosis in the healthcare of patients and the welfare of society. This document will undergo additional literature reviews and updating as the knowledge regarding current treatments and future surgical options continues to expand.","","","","","","","","","","","",231,239,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2018,200,3,"","","","",612,619,"","10.1016/j.juro.2018.05.048","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.juro.2018.05.048","","","","","","Urology & Nephrology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000441294600093","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In gene expression studies this is not a trivial task for several reasons, including potential temporal character of data. However, most feature selection approaches developed for microarray data cannot handle multivariate temporal data without previous data flattening, which results in loss of temporal information. We propose a temporal minimum redundancy - maximum relevance (TMRMR) feature selection approach, which is able to handle multivariate temporal data without previous data flattening. In the proposed approach we compute relevance of a gene by averaging F-statistic values calculated across individual time steps, and we compute redundancy between genes by using a dynamical time warping approach. Results: The proposed method is evaluated on three temporal gene expression datasets from human viral challenge studies. Obtained results show that the proposed method outperforms alternatives widely used in gene expression studies. In particular, the proposed method achieved improvement in accuracy in 34 out of 54 experiments, while the other methods outperformed it in no more than 4 experiments. Conclusion: We developed a filter-based feature selection method for temporal gene expression data based on maximum relevance and minimum redundancy criteria. The proposed method incorporates temporal information by combining relevance, which is calculated as an average F-statistic value across different time steps, with redundancy, which is calculated by employing dynamical time warping approach. As evident in our experiments, incorporating the temporal information into the feature selection process leads to selection of more discriminative features.","","","","","","","","","","","",291,317,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 3",2017,18,"","","","","","","",9,"10.1186/s12859-016-1423-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s12859-016-1423-9","","","","","","Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology; Mathematical & Computational Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000392147900009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this study, a modified coaxial electrospraying process was developed to coat a hydrophobic lipid, i.e., stearic acid (SA), on composites composed of the anticancer drug tamoxifen citrate (TC) and insoluble polymeric matrix ethylcellulose (EC). Compared with the electrosprayed TC-EC composite microparticles M1, the electrosprayed SA-coated hybrid microparticles M2 were able to provide an improved TC sustained-release profile. The 30% and 90% loaded drug sustained-release time periods were extended to 3.21 h and 19.43 h for M2, respectively, which were significantly longer than those provided by M1 (0.88 h and 9.98 h, respectively). The morphology, inner structure, physical state, and compatibility of the components of the particles M1 and M2 were disclosed through SEM, TEM, XRD, and FTIR. Based on the analyses, the drug sustained-release mechanism of multiple factors co-acting for microparticles M2 is suggested, which include the reasonable selections and organizations of lipid and polymeric excipient, the blank SA shell drug loading, the regularly round shape, and also the high density. The reported protocols pioneered a brand-new manner for developing sustained drug delivery hybrids through a combination of insoluble cellulose gels and lipid using modified coaxial electrospraying.","","","","","","","","","","","",62,62,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2023,9,9,"","","","","","",700,"10.3390/gels9090700","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/gels9090700","","","","","","Polymer Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001073613400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A common rule-of-thumb is that these systems should have an order of magnitude more antennas M than scheduled users K because the users' channels are likely to be near-orthogonal when M/K > 10. However, it has not been proved that this rule-of-thumb actually maximizes the SE. In this paper, we analyze how the optimal number of scheduled users K-star depends on M and other system parameters. To this end, new SE expressions are derived to enable efficient system-level analysis with power control, arbitrary pilot reuse, and random user locations. The value of K-star in the large-M regime is derived in closed form, while simulations are used to show what happens at finite M, in different interference scenarios, with different pilot reuse factors, and for different processing schemes. Up to half the coherence block should be dedicated to pilots and the optimal M/K is less than 10 in many cases of practical relevance. Interestingly, K-star depends strongly on the processing scheme and hence it is unfair to compare different schemes using the same K.","","","","","","","","","","","",379,410,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2016,15,2,"","","","",1293,1308,"","10.1109/TWC.2015.2488634","http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TWC.2015.2488634","","","","","","Engineering; Telecommunications","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000370949600036","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We further derive expressions for fast sequential updating of all needed quantities as the local designs are built up iteratively. Then we show how independent application of our local design strategy across the elements of a vast predictive grid facilitates a trivially parallel implementation. The end result is a global predictor able to take advantage of modern multicore architectures, providing a nonstationary modeling feature as a bonus.

However, recent technological advances mean we have control over systems at scales where memory effects are non-negligible. The lack of such an operational description has hindered advances in understanding physical, chemical, and biological processes, where often unjustified theoretical assumptions are made to render a dynamical description tractable. This has led to theories plagued with unphysical results and no consensus on what a quantum Markov (memoryless) process is. Here, we develop a universal framework to characterize arbitrary non-Markovian quantum processes. We show how a multitime non-Markovian process can be reconstructed experimentally, and that it has a natural representation as a many-body quantum state, where temporal correlations are mapped to spatial ones. Moreover, this state is expected to have an efficient matrix-product-operator form in many cases. Our framework constitutes a systematic tool for the effective description of memory-bearing open-system evolutions.","","","","","","","","","","","",232,239,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 25",2018,97,1,"","","","","","",12127,"10.1103/PhysRevA.97.012127","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.97.012127","","","","","","Optics; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000423426200003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Although many drivers of resource exhaustion have been identified in the extant literature, little attention has been given to inclusive drivers; information and communication technologies (ICTs), governance, and energy transition. Using material footprint (MFP), a consumption-based indicator of resource depletion, we empirically examine the influence of ICTs, environmental regulations, and renewable energy in G10 economies from 1990 to 2019. This study employs a few preliminary tests, including cross-sectional dependence, slope heterogeneity, and panel unit root tests, and subsequently uses the cross-sectional Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model for estimating parameters. The results exhibit that ICTs negatively and significantly derive MFP in the short and long-run, suggesting a substantial role in reducing resource depletion. Likewise, environmental regulations and renewable energy substantially reduce MFP, whereas economic output contributes to MFP. Similar results are echoed using other panel estimators, suggesting inclusive policy for ICTs transformation, energy transition, and stringent environmental governance.","","","","","","","","","","","",40,40,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2023,81,"","","","","","","",103378,"10.1016/j.resourpol.2023.103378","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.resourpol.2023.103378","","FEB 2023","","","","Environmental Sciences & Ecology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000942399600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The experiment is being designed with an initial sensitivity to nuclear recoil cross sections similar to 1 x 10(-43) cm(2) for a dark matter particle mass of 1 GeV= c(2), and with capacity to continue exploration to both smaller masses and better sensitivities. The phonon sensitivity of the HV detectors will be sufficient to detect nuclear recoils from sub-GeV dark matter. A detailed calibration of the detector response to low-energy recoils will be needed to optimize running conditions of the HV detectors and to interpret their data for dark matter searches. Low-activity shielding, and the depth of SNOLAB, will reduce most backgrounds, but cosmogenically produced 3H and naturally occurring 32Si will be present in the detectors at some level. Even if these backgrounds are 10 times higher than expected, the science reach of the HV detectors would be over 3 orders of magnitude beyond current results for a dark matter mass of 1 GeV= c(2). The iZIP detectors are relatively insensitive to variations in detector response and backgrounds, and will provide better sensitivity for dark matter particles with masses. less than or similar to 5 GeV= c(2). The mix of detector types (HV and iZIP), and targets (germanium and silicon), planned for the experiment, as well as flexibility in how the detectors are operated, will allow us to maximize the low-mass reach, and understand the backgrounds that the experiment will encounter. Upgrades to the experiment, perhaps with a variety of ultra-low-background cryogenic detectors, will extend dark matter sensitivity down to the neutrino floor,where coherent scatters of solar neutrinos become a limiting background.","","","","","","","","","","","",199,247,"","","","","","","","","","","APR 7",2017,95,8,"","","","","","",82002,"10.1103/PhysRevD.95.082002","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.95.082002","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics; Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000406878500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, guidelines have changed to emphasize CPR quality, minimization of interruptions, and standardized post-resuscitation care. We sought to evaluate whether OHCA outcomes have improved over time among agencies participating in the Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (ROC) cardiac arrest registry (Epistry) and randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Methods: Observational cohort study of 47,148 EMS-treated OHCA cases in Epistry from 139 EMS agencies at 10 ROC sites that participated in at least one RCT between 1/1/2006 and 12/31/2010. We reviewed patient, scene, event characteristics, and outcomes of EMS-treated OHCA over time, including subgroups with initial rhythm of pulseless ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF). Results: Mean response interval, median age and male proportion remained similar over time. Unadjusted survival to discharge increased between 2006 and 2010 for treated OHCA (from 8.2% to 10.4%), as well as for subgroups of VT/VF (21.4% to 29.3%) and bystander witnessed VT/VF (23.5% to 30.3%). Compared with 2006, adjusted survival to discharge was significantly higher in 2010 for treated cases (OR = 1.72; 95% CI 1.53, 1.94), VT/VF cases (OR = 1.69; 95% CI 1.45, 1.98) and bystander witnessed VT/VF cases (OR = 1.65; 95% CI 1.36, 2.00). Tests for trend in each subgroup were significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: ROC-wide survival increased significantly between 2006 and 2010.

According to the WHO classification scheme, the diagnosis of this group of tumors is based on both the histopathology of the tumor and the assessment of proliferation fraction. However, the former can be challenging due to the lack of well-defined histologic criteria, and the latter alone (ie, >20 mitoses/10 high-power fields or Ki67 > 20%) may not sufficiently distinguish WD-NETs from PD-NECs. Given the considerable differences in treatment strategies and clinical outcome, additional practical modalities are required to facilitate the accurate diagnosis of high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms. We examined 33 cases of WHO G3 neuroendocrine neoplasms of the pancreas and attempted to classify them into WD-NET, small cell PD-NEC (PD-NEC-SCC), and large cell PD-NEC (PD-NEC-LCC) or to designate them as ambiguous when an uncertain diagnosis was rendered by any of the observers or there was any disagreement in classification among the 3 observers. To simplify the interpretation, both PD-NEC-SCC and PD-NEC-LCC were considered together as PD-NECs in the final analysis. The initial approach was to assess microscopically a single morphologically challenging hematoxylin and eosin section from each case without the knowledge of Ki67 values, performed independently by 3 pathologists to assess the degree of diagnostic concordance, and then evaluate immunohistochemical staining for surrogate biomarkers of known genotypes of WD-NET and PD-NEC, respectively, and, lastly, complete a clinicopathologic review to establish a final definitive classification. Loss of DAXX or ATRX protein expression defined WD-NET, and abnormal p53, Rb, SMAD4 expression signified PD-NEC. When the chosen section displayed an element of WD histopathology, or other tumor sections contained WHO G1/G2 components, or there had been a prior established diagnosis of a primary WD-NET, the final diagnosis was rendered as a WD-NET with high-grade (G3) progression. If a component of conventional adenocarcinoma was present (in slides not seen in the initial review), the diagnosis was established as a combined adenocarcinoma and PD-NEC. All 3 pathologists agreed on the morphologic classification of 33% of the cases (6 WD-NET, 3 PD-NEC-SCC, and 2 PD-NEC-LCC), were conflicted on 2 cases between PD-NEC-SCC and PD-NEC-LCC, and disagreed or were uncertain on the classification for the remaining 20 cases (61%), which were therefore categorized as ambiguous. In the group of cases in which all pathologists agreed on the classification, the 6 WD-NET cases had either loss of DAXX or ATRX or had evidence of a WD-NET based on additional or prior pathology slides. The 7 PD-NEC cases had abnormal expression of p53, Rb, and/or SMAD4 or a coexisting adenocarcinoma. In the ambiguous group (n=20), 14 cases were established as WD-NETs, based upon loss of DAXX or ATRX in 7 cases and additional pathology evidence of high-grade progression from WD-NET in the other 7 cases; 5 cases were established as PD-NEC based upon abnormal expression of p53, Rb, and/or SMAD4; 1 case remained undetermined with normal expression of all markers and no evidence of entity-defining histologic findings in other slides. On the basis of the final pathologic classifications, the disease-specific survival was 75 and 11 months for the WD-NET and PD-NEC groups, respectively. Thus, we conclude that morphologic diagnosis of high-grade pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms is challenging, especially when limited pathologic materials are available, and necessitates better defined criteria. The analysis of both additional sections and prior material, along with an immunohistochemical evaluation, can facilitate accurate diagnosis in the majority of cases and guide the appropriate clinical management and prognosis.","","","","","","","","","","","",270,287,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2016,40,9,"","","","",1192,1202,"","10.1097/PAS.0000000000000662","http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/PAS.0000000000000662","","","","","","Pathology; Surgery","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000382321100004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It is important to ask the following question: Can this simulation be achieved using near-future quantum processors, of modest size and under imperfect control, or must it await the more distant era of large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing? Here, we propose a variational method involving closely integrated classical and quantum coprocessors. We presume that all operations in the quantum coprocessor are prone to error. The impact of such errors is minimized by boosting them artificially and then extrapolating to the zero-error case. In comparison to a more conventional optimized Trotterization technique, we find that our protocol is efficient and appears to be fundamentally more robust against error accumulation.","","","","","","","","","","","",661,709,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 29",2017,7,2,"","","","","","",21050,"10.1103/PhysRevX.7.021050","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.7.021050","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000404343500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials methods We evaluated patients with active, untreated, biopsy-proven IgG4-RD affecting various organs. Flow cytometry was used to measure total plasmablast and IgG4+ plasmablast counts by gating peripheral blood for CD19lowCD38+CD20-CD27 + cells and CD19lowCD38+CD20-CD27+IgG4+ cells. Serum IgG4 concentrations were measured by nephelometry. We compared 37 IgG4-RD patients to 35 controls, including healthy individuals (n=14) and patients with other inflammatory diseases before treatment (n=21). Results The IgG4-RD patients' mean age was 59, and 68% were male. Fourteen patients (38%) had three or more organs involved. The IgG4-RD patients had substantially elevated total plasmablast counts (median 4698/mL, range 610-79524/mL) compared to both untreated disease controls (median 592/mL, range 19-4294/mL; p < 0.001) and healthy controls (median 94/mL, range 1-653/mL; p < 0.001). Thirteen IgG4-RD patients (36%) had normal serum IgG4 concentrations (mean 60 mg/dL, range 5-123 mg/dL, normal < 135 mg/dL). However, the median plasmablast count was not significantly lower in that subset with normal serum IgG4 concentrations (3784/mL) compared to those with elevated serum IgG4 (5155/mL) (p = 0.242). Among the 12 rituximab (RTX)-treated patients, the median plasmablast level during disease flare was 6356/mL (range 112341589/mL), declining to 1419/mL (range 386/mL-4150/mL) during remission (p < 0.01). Conclusions Circulating plasmablasts are elevated in active IgG4-RD, even in patients with normal serum IgG4 concentrations. Plasmablast counts are a potentially useful biomarker for diagnosis, assessing response to treatment, and determining the appropriate time for re-treatment.","","","","","","","","","","","",338,374,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2015,74,1,"","","","",190,195,"","10.1136/annrheumdis-2014-205233","http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2014-205233","","","","","","Rheumatology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000345945700039","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

New methods of preventing potentially fatal arrhythmias have been developed and the accurate diagnosis of the causes of SCD is now of particular importance. Pathologists are responsible for determining the precise cause and mechanism of sudden death but there is still considerable variation in the way in which they approach this increasingly complex task. The Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology has developed these guidelines, which represent the minimum standard that is required in the routine autopsy practice for the adequate investigation of SCD. The present version is an update of our original article, published 10 years ago. This is necessary because of our increased understanding of the genetics of cardiovascular diseases, the availability of new diagnostic methods, and the experience we have gained from the routine use of the original guidelines. The updated guidelines include a detailed protocol for the examination of the heart and recommendations for the selection of histological blocks and appropriate material for toxicology, microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular investigation. Our recommendations apply to university medical centers, regionals hospitals, and all healthcare professionals practicing pathology and forensic medicine. We believe that their adoption throughout Europe will improve the standards of autopsy practice, allow meaningful comparisons between different communities and regions, and permit the identification of emerging patterns of diseases causing SCD. Finally, we recommend the development of regional multidisciplinary networks of cardiologists, geneticists, and pathologists. Their role will be to facilitate the identification of index cases with a genetic basis, to screen appropriate family members, and ensure that appropriate preventive strategies are implemented.","","","","","","","","","","","",353,358,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2017,471,6,"","","","",691,705,"","10.1007/s00428-017-2221-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00428-017-2221-0","","","","","","Pathology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000416831200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, these aims are often complicated by difficulties stemming from high-dimensionality, non-normality, sparsity, and the compositional nature of microbiome data sets. A key tool in microbiome analysis is beta diversity, defined by the distances between microbial samples. Many different distance metrics have been proposed, all with varying discriminatory power on data with differing characteristics. Here, we propose a compositional beta diversity metric rooted in a centered log-ratio transformation and matrix completion called robust Aitchison PCA. We demonstrate the benefits of compositional transformations upstream of beta diversity calculations through simulations. Additionally, we demonstrate improved effect size, classification accuracy, and robustness to sequencing depth over the current methods on several decreased sample subsets of real microbiome data sets. Finally, we highlight the ability of this new beta diversity metric to retain the feature loadings linked to sample ordinations revealing salient intercommunity niche feature importance. IMPORTANCE By accounting for the sparse compositional nature of microbiome data sets, robust Aitchison PCA can yield high discriminatory power and salient feature ranking between microbial niches.

A major component of personalized medicine is the estimation of individualized treatment rules (ITRs). Recently, Zhao etal. proposed outcome weighted learning (OWL) to construct ITRs that directly optimize the clinical outcome. Although OWL opens the door to introducing machine learning techniques to optimal treatment regimes, it still has some problems in performance. (1) The estimated ITR of OWL is affected by a simple shift of the outcome. (2) The rule from OWL tries to keep treatment assignments that subjects actually received. (3) There is no variable selection mechanism with OWL. All of them weaken the finite sample performance of OWL. In this article, we propose a general framework, called residual weighted learning (RWL), to alleviate these problems, and hence to improve finite sample performance. Unlike OWL which weights misclassification errors by clinical outcomes, RWL weights these errors by residuals of the outcome from a regression fit on clinical covariates excluding treatment assignment. We use the smoothed ramp loss function in RWL and provide a difference of convex (d.c.) algorithm to solve the corresponding nonconvex optimization problem. By estimating residuals with linear models or generalized linear models, RWL can effectively deal with different types of outcomes, such as continuous, binary, and count outcomes. We also propose variable selection methods for linear and nonlinear rules, respectively, to further improve the performance. We show that the resulting estimator of the treatment rule is consistent. We further obtain a rate of convergence for the difference between the expected outcome using the estimated ITR and that of the optimal treatment rule. The performance of the proposed RWL methods is illustrated in simulation studies and in an analysis of cystic fibrosis clinical trial data.

The inner regions of the envelopes surrounding young protostars are characterized by a complex chemistry, with prebiotic molecules present on the scales where protoplanetary disks eventually may form. The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) provides an unprecedented view of these regions zooming in on solar system scales of nearby protostars and mapping the emission from rare species. Aims. The goal is to introduce a systematic survey, the Protostellar Interferometric Line Survey (PILS), of the chemical complexity of one of the nearby astrochemical templates, the Class 0 protostellar binary IRAS 16293 2422, using ALMA in order to understand the origin of the complex molecules formed in its vicinity. In addition to presenting the overall survey, the analysis in this paper focuses on new results for the prebiotic molecule glycolaldehyde, its isomers, and rarer isotopologues and other related molecules. Methods. An unbiased spectral survey of IRAS 16293 2422 covering the full frequency range from 329 to 363 GHz (0.8 mm) has been obtained with ALMA, in addition to a few targeted observations at 3.0 and 1.3 mm. The data consist of full maps of the protostellar binary system with an angular resolution of 0.5 '' (60 AU diameter), a spectral resolution of 0.2 km s(-1), and a sensitivity of 4-5 mJy beam(-1) km s(-1), which is approximately two orders of magnitude better than any previous studies. Results. More than 10 000 features are detected toward one component in the protostellar binary, corresponding to an average line density of approximately one line per 3 km s(-1). Glycolaldehyde; its isomers, methyl formate and acetic acid; and its reduced alcohol, ethylene glycol, are clearly detected and their emission well-modeled with an excitation temperature of 300 K. For ethylene glycol both lowest state conformers, aGg' and gGg', are detected, the latter for the first time in the interstellar medium (ISM). The abundance of glycolaldehyde is comparable to or slightly larger than that of ethylene glycol. In comparison to the Galactic Center these two species are over-abundant relative to methanol, possibly an indication of formation of the species at low temperatures in CO-rich ices during the infall of the material toward the central protostar. Both C-13 and the deuterated isotopologues of glycolaldehyde are detected, also for the first time ever in the ISM. For the deuterated species, a D/H ratio of approximate to 5% is found with no differences between the deuteration in the different functional groups of glycolaldehyde, in contrast to previous estimates for methanol and recent suggestions of significant equilibration between water and-OH functional groups at high temperatures. Measurements of the C-13-species lead to a C-12:C-13 ratio of approximate to 30, lower than the typical ISM value. This low ratio may reflect an enhancement of (CO)-C-13 in the ice due to either ion-molecule reactions in the gas before freeze-out or to differences in the temperatures where (CO)-C-12 and (CO)-C-13 ices sublimate. Conclusions. The results reinforce the importance of low-temperature grain surface chemistry for the formation of prebiotic molecules seen here in the gas after sublimation of the entire ice mantle. Systematic surveys of the molecules thought to be chemically related, as well as the accurate measurements of their isotopic composition, hold strong promise for understanding the origin of prebiotic molecules in the earliest stages of young stars.","","","","","","","","","","","",279,289,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2016,595,"","","","","","","","A117","10.1051/0004-6361/201628648","http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201628648","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000388573500059","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The departure point is the threshold dynamics algorithm of Merriman, Bence, and Osher for the two-phase case. A new energetic interpretation of this algorithm allows us to extend it in a natural way to the case of N phases, for arbitrary surface tensions and arbitrary (isotropic) mobilities. For a large class of surface tensions, the algorithm is shown to be consistent in the sense that at every time step, it decreases an energy functional that is an approximation (in the sense of Gamma convergence) of the interfacial energy. A broad range of numerical tests shows good convergence properties. An important application is the motion of grain boundaries in polycrystalline materials: It is also established that the above-mentioned large class of surface tensions contains the Read-Shockley surface tensions, both in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional settings.(c) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.","","","","","","","","","","","",123,130,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2015,68,5,"","","","",808,864,"","10.1002/cpa.21527","http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cpa.21527","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000351776300003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The data on treatment cycles performed between 1 January and 31 December 2019 were provided by either national registries or registries based on initiatives of medical associations and scientific organizations or committed persons in one of the 44 countries that are members of the EIM Consortium.PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Overall, 1487 clinics offering ART services in 40 countries reported, for the second time, a total of more than 1 million (1 077 813) treatment cycles, including 160 782 with IVF, 427 980 with ICSI, 335 744 with FET, 64 089 with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), 82 373 with egg donation (ED), 546 with IVM of oocytes, and 6299 cycles with frozen oocyte replacement (FOR). A total of 1169 institutions reported data on IUI cycles using either husband/partner's semen (IUI-H; n = 147 711) or donor semen (IUI-D; n = 51 651) in 33 and 24 countries, respectively. Eighteen countries reported 24 139 interventions in pre- and post-pubertal patients for FP, including oocyte, ovarian tissue, semen, and testicular tissue banking.MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In 21 countries (21 in 2018) in which all ART clinics reported to the registry 476 760 treatment cycles were registered for a total population of approximately 300 million inhabitants, allowing the best estimate of a mean of 1581 cycles performed per million inhabitants (range: 437-3621). Among the reporting countries, for IVF the clinical PRs per aspiration slightly decreased while they remained similar per transfer compared to 2018 (21.8% and 34.6% versus 25.5% and 34.1%, respectively). In ICSI, the corresponding PRs showed similar trends compared to 2018 (20.2% and 33.5%, versus 22.5% and 32.1%) When freeze-all cycles were not considered for the calculations, the clinical PRs per aspiration were 28.5% (28.8% in 2018) and 26.2% (27.3% in 2018) for IVF and ICSI, respectively. After FET with embryos originating from own eggs, the PR per thawing was at 35.1% (versus 33.4% in 2018), and with embryos originating from donated eggs at 43.0% (41.8% in 2018). After ED, the PR per fresh embryo transfer was 50.5% (49.6% in 2018) and per FOR 44.8% (44.9% in 2018). In IVF and ICSI together, the trend toward the transfer of fewer embryos continues with the transfer of 1, 2, 3, and >= 4 embryos in 55.4%, 39.9%, 2.6%, and 0.2% of all treatments, respectively (corresponding to 50.7%, 45.1%, 3.9%, and 0.3% in 2018). This resulted in a reduced proportion of twin delivery rates (DRs) of 11.9% (12.4% in 2018) and a similar triplet DR of 0.3%. Treatments with FET in 2019 resulted in twin and triplet DR of 8.9% and 0.1%, respectively (versus 9.4% and 0.1% in 2018). After IUI, the DRs remained similar at 8.7% after IUI-H (8.8% in 2018) and at 12.1% after IUI-D (12.6% in 2018). Twin and triplet DRs after IUI-H were 8.7% and 0.4% (in 2018: 8.4% and 0.3%) and 6.2% and 0.2% after IUI-D (in 2018: 6.4% and 0.2%), respectively. Eighteen countries (16 in 2018) provided data on FP in a total number of 24 139 interventions (20 994 in 2018). Cryopreservation of ejaculated sperm (n = 11 592 versus n = 10 503 in 2018) and cryopreservation of oocytes (n = 10 784 versus n = 9123 in 2018) were most frequently reported.LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION Caution with the interpretation of results should remain as data collection systems and completeness of reporting vary among European countries. Some countries were unable to deliver data about the number of initiated cycles and/or deliveries.WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The 23rd ESHRE data collection on ART, IUI, and FP interventions shows a continuous increase of reported treatment numbers and MAR-derived livebirths in Europe. Although it is the largest data collection on MAR in Europe, further efforts toward optimization of both the collection and the reporting, from the perspective of improving surveillance and vigilance in the field of reproductive medicine, are awaited.STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) The study has received no external funding and all costs are covered by ESHRE. There are no competing interests.","","","","","","","","","","","",90,91,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC 4",2023,38,12,"","","","",2321,2338,"","10.1093/humrep/dead197","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/humrep/dead197","","OCT 2023","","","","Obstetrics & Gynecology; Reproductive Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001085321800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Drawing on sociological studies of educational knowledge, and assessments of the quality of educational research in England, in addition to the philosophy of expertise as related to teaching, it is argued that the CCF is currently orientated towards a scientism that (i) marginalises longstanding traditions of educational thought, and (ii) technicises and instrumentalises teaching practice. The predominance of a scientistic model of educational knowledge is demonstrated through a profile of the sources identified in the CCF, with a focus on the journals in which referenced material is published and an overview of subject matter via an analysis of keywords and titles. With an overwhelming preference for this 'New Science' as opposed to other traditions of educational knowledge, the CCF encourages an image of teaching as a decontextualised series of interventions with narrow objectives, and thus implicitly marginalises wider educational goods and purposes and deprofessionalises teachers work.","","","","","","","","","","","",37,38,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV 2",2023,49,6,"","","","",800,818,"","10.1080/03054985.2023.2182768","http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/03054985.2023.2182768","","FEB 2023","","","","Education & Educational Research","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000941959700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The structure of HDPE/GNPs nanocomposites was extensively studied by using different experimental methods, such as X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. To further provide a complete comparison, differential scanning calorimetry measurements were utilized to calculate the crystallinity values, while temperature-modulated DSC was employed to investigate the possible mechanism of the different crystalline structures. It was found that these methods can be used to estimate the crystallinity, but the sample parameters and experimental conditions must be taken into consideration. All the techniques showed that the crystallinity depends on GNPs size and content. The distance between dispersed platelets was substantial at low concentrations of GNPs, making it comparatively easy for additional nucleation sites to incorporate the polymer matrix, and the crystal nucleus was simply formed. However, at high concentrations of GNPs, the diffusion of polymer chains to the growing crystallites was hindered by large GNPs particles, despite the formation of additional nucleation sites.","","","","","","","","","","","",93,95,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2023,58,4,"","","","",1621,1639,"","10.1007/s10853-022-08125-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10853-022-08125-4","","JAN 2023","","","","Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000911934800002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To this end, we leverage the theory of generalized standard materials, which encompasses a plethora of important constitutive classes including elasticity, viscosity, plasticity and arbitrary combinations thereof. We show that, based only on full-field kinematic measurements and net reaction forces, EUCLID is able to automatically discover the two scalar thermodynamic potentials, namely, the Helmholtz free energy and the dissipation potential, which completely define the behavior of generalized standard materials. The a priori enforced constraint of convexity on these potentials guarantees by construction stability and thermodynamic consistency of the discovered model; balance of linear momentum acts as a fundamental constraint to replace the availability of stress- strain labeled pairs; sparsity promoting regularization enables the automatic selection of a small subset from a possibly large number of candidate model features and thus leads to a parsimonious, i.e., simple and interpretable, model. Importantly, since model features go hand in hand with the correspondingly active internal variables, sparse regression automatically induces a parsimonious selection of the few internal variables needed for an accurate but simple description of the material behavior. A fully automatic procedure leads to the selection of the hyperparameter controlling the weight of the sparsity promoting regularization term, in order to strike a user-defined balance between model accuracy and simplicity. By testing the method on synthetic data including artificial noise, we demonstrate that EUCLID is able to automatically discover the true hidden material model from a large catalogue of constitutive classes, including elasticity, viscoelasticity, elastoplasticity, viscoplasticity, isotropic and kinematic hardening.(c) 2022 The Author(s).

Unfortunately, their practical applications are limited by poor stability against water, heat, and polar solvents. Here, we propose a facile synthesis strategy for CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 NCs via tetraoctylammonium bromide ligand induction at room temperature. The resulting CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 NCs show a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 94%. In order to prevent Cs4PbBr6 from being converted back to CsPbBr3 NCs when exposed to water, a second coating layer of SiO2 is formed on the surface of the CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6 NCs by the facile hydrolysis of tetramethoxysilane. The resulting CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6/SiO2 NCs with their double coating structure have outstanding stability against not only a polar solvent (ethanol) but also water and heat. The as-prepared CsPbBr3@Cs4PbBr6/SiO2 NCs serve as green emitters in efficient white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs) with a high color rendering index (CRI) of 91 and a high power efficiency 59.87 lm W-1. Furthermore, the use of these WLEDs in visible light communication (VLC) results in a maximum rate of 44.53 Mbps, suggesting the great potential of the reported methods and materials for solidstate illumination and VLC.","","","","","","","","","","","",96,100,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2022,2,6,"","","","",646,654,"","10.1016/j.esci.2022.10.005","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.esci.2022.10.005","","","","","","Electrochemistry; Materials Science","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001093164600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Modified vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN, also known as Imvamune, JYNNEOS or Imvanex) is a third-generation smallpox vaccine that is authorized and in use as a vaccine against MPX. To date, there are no data showing MPX virus (MPXV)-neutralizing antibodies in vaccinated individuals nor vaccine efficacy against MPX. Here we show that MPXV-neutralizing antibodies can be detected after MPXV infection and after historic smallpox vaccination. However, a two-shot MVA-BN immunization series in non-primed individuals yields relatively low levels of MPXV-neutralizing antibodies. Dose-sparing of an MVA-based influenza vaccine leads to lower MPXV-neutralizing antibody levels, whereas a third vaccination with the same MVA-based vaccine significantly boosts the antibody response. As the role of MPXV-neutralizing antibodies as a correlate of protection against disease and transmissibility is currently unclear, we conclude that cohort studies following vaccinated individuals are necessary to assess vaccine efficacy in at-risk populations. Historic smallpox vaccination and monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection elicit MPXV-neutralizing antibodies, but MPXV-neutralizing antibodies are less frequent and of lower magnitude after vaccination with MVA-BN-the vaccine approved and in use for protection against MPXV and smallpox.","","","","","","","","","","","",143,150,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2023,29,1,"","","","",270,"+","","10.1038/s41591-022-02090-w","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41591-022-02090-w","","OCT 2022","","","","Biochemistry & Molecular Biology; Cell Biology; Research & Experimental Medicine","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000880503800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A small subset of PDACs harbor KRAS wild-type (WT). We aim to characterize the molecular profiles of KRAS WT PDAC to uncover new pathogenic drivers and offer targeted treatments. Experimental Design: Tumor tissue obtained from surgical or biopsy material was subjected to next-generation DNA/RNA sequencing, microsatellite instability (MSI) and mismatch repair status determination. Results: Of the 2,483 patients (male 53.7%, median age 66 years) studied, 266 tumors (10.7%) were KRAS WT. The most frequently mutated gene in KRAS WT PDAC was TP53 (44.5%), followed by BRAF (13.0%). Multiple mutations within the DNA-damage repair (BRCA2, ATM, BAP1, RAD50, FANCE, PALB2), chromatin remodeling (ARID1A, PBRM1, ARID2, KMT2D, KMT2C, SMARCA4, SETD2), and cell-cycle control pathways (CDKN2A, CCND1, CCNE1) were detected frequently. There was no statistically significant difference in PD-L1 expression between KRAS WT (15.8%) and MT (17%) tumors. However, KRAS WT PDAC were more likely to be MSI-high (4.7% vs. 0.7%; P < 0.05), tumor mutational burden-high (4.5% vs. 1%; P < 0.05), and exhibit increased infiltration of CD8(+) T cells, natural killer cells, and myeloid dendritic cells. KRAS WT PDACs exhibited gene fusions of BRAF (6.6%), FGFR2 (5.2%), ALK (2.6%), RET (1.3%), and NRG1 (1.3%), as well as amplification of FGF3 (3%), ERBB2 (2.2%), FGFR3 (1.8%), NTRK (1.8%), and MET (1.3%). Real-world evidence reveals a survival advantage of KRAS WT patients in overall cohorts as well as in patients treated with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel or 5-FU/oxaliplatin. Conclusions: KRAS WT PDAC represents 10.7% of PDAC and is enriched with targetable alterations, including immuno-oncologic markers. Identification of KRAS WT patients in clinical practice may expand therapeutic options in a clinically meaningful manner.","","","","","","","","","","","",104,104,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 15",2022,28,12,"","","","",2704,2714,"","10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-21-3581","http://dx.doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-21-3581","","","","","","Oncology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000813167600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Three hundred and sixteen patients were enrolled and categorized into training (n=221) and validation (n=95) sets via random sampling. Using clinicopathologic variables including TILs, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was applied for variable selection and predictive signature building in the training set. The predictive accuracy of our model and the Japanese criteria were compared using area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC), net reclassification improvement (NRI)/integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and decision curve analysis (DCA) in the validation set. Results LNM was detected in 29 (13.1%) and 12 (12.6%) patients in training and validation sets, respectively. Nine variables were selected and used to generate the LASSO model. Its performance was similar in training and validation sets (AUROC, 0.795 vs. 0.765; p=0.747). In the validation set, the LASSO model showed better outcomes in predicting LNM than Japanese criteria, as measured by AUROC (0.765 vs. 0.518, p=0.003) and NRI (0.447, p=0.039)/IDI (0.121, p=0.034).

The purpose of this study is the head-to-head intra-individual comparison of Ga-68-FAPI versus standard-of-care F-18-FDG in PET/CT in organ biodistribution and tumor uptake in patients with various cancers. Material and Methods This international retrospective multicenter analysis included PET/CT data from 71 patients from 6 centers who underwent both Ga-68-FAPI and F-18-FDG PET/CT within a median time interval of 10 days (range 1-89 days). Volumes of interest (VOIs) were manually drawn in normal organs and tumor lesions to quantify tracer uptake by SUVmax and SUVmean. Furthermore, tumor-to-background ratios (TBR) were generated (SUVmax tumor/ SUVmax organ). Results A total of 71 patients were studied of, which 28 were female and 43 male (median age 60). In 41 of 71 patients, the primary tumor was present. Forty-three of 71 patients exhibited 162 metastatic lesions. Ga-68-FAPI uptake in primary tumors and metastases was comparable to F-18-FDG in most cases. The SUVmax was significantly lower for Ga-68-FAPI than F-18-FDG in background tissues such as the brain, oral mucosa, myocardium, blood pool, liver, pancreas, and colon. Thus, Ga-68-FAPI TBRs were significantly higher than F-18-FDG TBRs in some sites, including liver and bone metastases. Conclusion Quantitative tumor uptake is comparable between Ga-68-FAPI and F-18-FDG, but lower background uptake in most normal organs results in equal or higher TBRs for Ga-68-FAPI. Thus, Ga-68-FAPI PET/CT may yield improved diagnostic information in various cancers and especially in tumor locations with high physiological F-18-FDG uptake.","","","","","","","","","","","",143,143,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2021,48,13,"","","","",4377,4385,"","10.1007/s00259-021-05307-1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00259-021-05307-1","","JUN 2021","","","","Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000662821400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The IceCube Collaboration recently reported the likely association of one high-energy neutrino with a flare from the relativistic jet of an active galaxy pointed towards the Earth. However a combined analysis of many similar active galaxies revealed no excess from the broader population, leaving the vast majority of the cosmic neutrino flux unexplained. Here we present the likely association of a radio-emitting tidal disruption event, AT2019dsg, with a second high-energy neutrino. AT2019dsg was identified as part of our systematic search for optical counterparts to high-energy neutrinos with the Zwicky Transient Facility. The probability of finding any coincident radio-emitting tidal disruption event by chance is 0.5%, while the probability of finding one as bright in bolometric energy flux as AT2019dsg is 0.2%. Our electromagnetic observations can be explained through a multizone model, with radio analysis revealing a central engine, embedded in a UV photosphere, that powers an extended synchrotron-emitting outflow. This provides an ideal site for petaelectronvolt neutrino production. Assuming that the association is genuine, our observations suggest that tidal disruption events with mildly relativistic outflows contribute to the cosmic neutrino flux. The tidal disruption event AT2019dsg is probably associated with a high-energy neutrino, suggesting that such events can contribute to the cosmic neutrino flux. The electromagnetic emission is explained in terms of a central engine, a photosphere and an extended synchrotron-emitting outflow.","","","","","","","","","","","",193,216,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2021,5,5,"","","","",510,"+","","10.1038/s41550-020-01295-8","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41550-020-01295-8","","FEB 2021","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000620431500002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Dedicated terminology, techniques, devices, courses, and training programs have enabled progressive advancements. However, only a few randomized trials have been performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention. Moreover, several published observational studies have shown conflicting data. Part of the paucity of clinical data stems from the fact that prior studies have been suboptimally designed and performed. The absence of standardized end points and the discrepancy in definitions also prevent consistency and uniform interpretability of reported results in CTO intervention. To standardize the field, we therefore assembled a broad consortium comprising academicians, practicing physicians, researchers, medical society representatives, and regulators (US Food and Drug Administration) to develop methods, end points, biomarkers, parameters, data, materials, processes, procedures, evaluations, tools, and techniques for CTO interventions. This article summarizes the effort and is organized into 3 sections: key elements and procedural definitions, end point definitions, and clinical trial design principles. The Chronic Total Occlusion Academic Research Consortium is a first step toward improved comparability and interpretability of study results, supplying an increasingly growing body of CTO percutaneous coronary intervention evidence.","","","","","","","","","","","",182,187,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 2",2021,143,5,"","","","",479,500,"","10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.046754","http://dx.doi.org/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.120.046754","","","","","","Cardiovascular System & Cardiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000639319500015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The gravitational-wave signal, GW190814, was observed during LIGO's and Virgo's third observing run on 2019 August 14 at 21:10:39 UTC and has a signal-to-noise ratio of 25 in the three-detector network. The source was localized to 18.5 deg(2) at a distance of 241(-41)(+45) Mpc; no electromagnetic counterpart has been confirmed to date. The source has the most unequal mass ratio yet measured with gravitational waves, 0.112(-0.009)(+0.008), and its secondary component is either the lightest black hole or the heaviest neutron star ever discovered in a double compact-object system. The dimensionless spin of the primary black hole is tightly constrained to <= 0.07. Tests of general relativity reveal no measurable deviations from the theory, and its prediction of higher-multipole emission is confirmed at high confidence. We estimate a merger rate density of 1-23 Gpc(-3) yr(-1) for the new class of binary coalescence sources that GW190814 represents. Astrophysical models predict that binaries with mass ratios similar to this event can form through several channels, but are unlikely to have formed in globular clusters. However, the combination of mass ratio, component masses, and the inferred merger rate for this event challenges all current models of the formation and mass distribution of compact-object binaries.","","","","","","","","","","","",1247,1330,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2020,896,2,"","","","","","","L44","10.3847/2041-8213/ab960f","http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/ab960f","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000547577200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Chiral ordering from spontaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry, a fractionally quantized spin Hall response, and characteristic level statistics in the entanglement spectrum in the intermediate phase provide strong evidence for the existence of a chiral spin liquid in the full two-dimensional limit of the model.","","","","","","","","","","","",178,195,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 22",2020,10,2,"","","","","","",21042,"10.1103/PhysRevX.10.021042","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.10.021042","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000535192400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Track 2 focused on extraction of adverse drug events (ADEs) from clinical records and evaluated 3 tasks: concept extraction, relation classification, and end-to-end systems. We perform an analysis of the results to identify the state of the art in these tasks, learn from it, and build on it. Materials and Methods: For all tasks, teams were given raw text of narrative discharge summaries, and in all the tasks, participants proposed deep learning-based methods with hand-designed features. In the concept extraction task, participants used sequence labelling models (bidirectional long short-term memory being the most popular), whereas in the relation classification task, they also experimented with instance-based classifiers (namely support vector machines and rules). Ensemble methods were also popular. Results: A total of 28 teams participated in task 1, with 21 teams in tasks 2 and 3. The best performing systems set a high performance bar with F1 scores of 0.9418 for concept extraction, 0.9630 for relation classification, and 0.8905 for end-to-end. However, the results were much lower for concepts and relations of Reasons and ADEs. These were often missed because local context is insufficient to identify them. Conclusions: This challenge shows that clinical concept extraction and relation classification systems have a high performance for many concept types, but significant improvement is still required for ADEs and Reasons. Incorporating the larger context or outside knowledge will likely improve the performance of future systems.","","","","","","","","","","","",158,168,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2020,27,1,"","","","",3,12,"","10.1093/jamia/ocz166","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jamia/ocz166","","","","","","Computer Science; Health Care Sciences & Services; Information Science & Library Science; Medical Informatics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000548300200002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To determine the carbon footprint of various sustainability interventions used for laparoscopic hysterectomy. Methods. We designed interventions for laparoscopic hysterectomy from approaches that sustainable health care organizations advocate. We used a hybrid environmental life cycle assessment framework to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed interventions. We conducted the study from September 2015 to December 2016 at the University of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania). Results. The largest carbon footprint savings came from selecting specific anesthetic gases and minimizing the materials used in surgery. Energy-related interventions resulted in a 10% reduction in carbon footprint per case but would result in larger savings for the whole facility. Commonly implemented approaches, such as recycling surgical waste, resulted in less than a 5% reduction in greenhouse gases. Conclusions. To reduce the environmental emissions of surgeries, health care providers need to implement a combination of approaches, including minimizing materials, moving away from certain heat-trapping anesthetic gases, maximizing instrument reuse or single-use device reprocessing, and reducing off-hour energy use in the operating room. These strategies can reduce the carbon footprint of an average laparoscopic hysterectomy by up to 80%. Recycling alone does very little to reduce environmental footprint. Public Health Implications. Health care services are a major source of environmental emissions and reducing their carbon footprint would improve environmental and human health. Facilities seeking to reduce environmental footprint should take a comprehensive systems approach to find safe and effective interventions and should identify and address policy barriers to implementing more sustainable practices.","","","","","","","","","","","",146,146,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2018,108,"","",2,"","","S158","S164","","10.2105/AJPH.2018.304397","http://dx.doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2018.304397","","","","","","Public, Environmental & Occupational Health","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000440270700030","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and Methods: Asystematic review of the literature using the PubMed (R), EMBASE (R) and Cochrane databases (search dates 1/1/1965 to 1/26/15) was conducted to identify peer-reviewed publications relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of PD. The review yielded an evidence base of 303 articles after application of inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: The systematic review was used to create guideline statements regarding treatment of PD. When sufficient evidence existed, the body of evidence for a particular treatment was assigned a strength rating of A (high quality evidence; high certainty), B (moderate quality evidence; moderate certainty), or C (low quality evidence; low certainty). Evidence-based statements of Strong, Moderate, or Conditional Recommendation were developed based on benefits and risks/burdens to patients. Additional consensus statements related to the diagnosis of PD are provided as Clinical Principles and Expert Opinions due to insufficient published evidence. Conclusions: There is a continually expanding literature on PD; the Panel notes that this document constitutes a clinical strategy and is not intended to be interpreted rigidly. The most effective approach for a particular patient is best determined by the individual clinician and patient in the context of that patient's history, values, and goals for treatment. As the science relevant to PD evolves and improves, the strategies presented here will be amended to remain consistent with the highest standards of clinical care.","","","","","","","","","","","",308,320,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2015,194,3,"","","","",745,753,"","10.1016/j.juro.2015.05.098","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.juro.2015.05.098","","","","","","Urology & Nephrology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000359157200052","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

To reasonably describe the noncoaxial effects on dilatancy, the energy dissipation of plastic flow is derived based on the property-dependent plastic potential theory for geomaterials and integrates the noncoaxiality, the potential theory links the plastic strain of granular materials with its fabric, and the noncoaxiality is naturally related to the mesoscopic properties of materials. When the fabric is isotropic, the dilatancy equation degenerates into the form of the critical state theory, and when the fabric is anisotropic, it naturally describes the effects of noncoaxiality. In the plane stress state, a comparison between a simple shear test and prediction of the dilatancy equation shows that the equation can reasonably describe the effect of noncoaxiality on dilatancy with the introduction of microscopic fabric parameters, and its physical significance is clear. This paper can provide a reference for the theoretical description of the macro and micro mechanical properties of geomaterials.","","","","","","","","","","","",19,19,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2023,7,11,"","","","","","",824,"10.3390/fractalfract7110824","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/fractalfract7110824","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001120844100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In this Letter, we report the measurements of diffuse gamma rays from the Galactic plane between 10 TeV and 1 PeV energies, with the square kilometer array of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO). Diffuse emissions from the inner (15 degrees< l < 125 degrees, |b| < 5 degrees) and outer (125 degrees < l < 235 degrees, |b| < 5 degrees) Galactic plane are detected with 29.1 sigma and 12.7 sigma significance, respectively. The outer Galactic plane diffuse emission is detected for the first time in the very- to ultra-high-energy domain (E > 10 TeV). The energy spectrum in the inner Galaxy regions can be described by a power-law function with an index of -2.99 +/- 0.04, which is different from the curved spectrum as expected from hadronic interactions between locally measured cosmic rays and the line-of-sight integrated gas content. Furthermore, the measured flux is higher by a factor of similar to 3 than the prediction. A similar spectrum with an index of -2.99 +/- 0.07 is found in the outer Galaxy region, and the absolute flux for 10 less than or similar to E less than or similar to 60 TeV is again higher than the prediction for hadronic cosmic ray interactions. The latitude distributions of the diffuse emission are consistent with the gas distribution, while the longitude distributions show clear deviation from the gas distribution. The LHAASO measurements imply that either additional emission sources exist or cosmic ray intensities have spatial variations.","","","","","","","","","","","",139,142,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 9",2023,131,15,"","","","","","",151001,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.151001","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.151001","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","Y","2025-04-23","WOS:001102985000003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Two identical PV panels having a maximum electrical generated power of 40 W are employed to perform the outdoor experiments: a reference PV panel (PVr) and another integrated with PCM (PV-PCM). The current implementation is conducted with different thicknesses of PCM (1, 2, and 3 cm) varying the tilt angle of PV panels at 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, and 30 degrees. The infrared thermal camera is used to record the temperature distribution over the front surface of the PVr and PV-PCM panels. Results indicate that the highest temperature distribution appeared at the upper portion of the PV panels, whereas the lower part of the PV panels shows the lowest temperature distribution. At a tilt angle of 15 degrees, the temperature at the panel's top side is higher than that of the bottom side by 17.1%, 15.7%, and 13.2% for PCM thickness of 1, 2, and, 3 cm, respectively. There is also enhancement in the electrical power output of 15.8% for the PV-PCM panel with a 3 cm PCM thickness over the reference panel (PVr) at a tilt angle of 30 degrees. Relatedly, elevating the tilt angle from 15 degrees to 30 degrees improves the electrical efficiency of PV-PCM with a 3 cm thickness of the PCM by 7.4%. Finally, using PCM with a thickness of 3 cm enhances the electrical efficiency of the PV-PCM panel by 14.4% compared to that for the PVr at a tilt angle of 30 degrees.","","","","","","","","","","","",50,51,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,42,"","","","","","","",102741,"10.1016/j.csite.2023.102741","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.csite.2023.102741","","JAN 2023","","","","Thermodynamics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000926225000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

BACKGROUND The comparative effectiveness of glucose-lowering medications for use with metformin to maintain target glycated hemoglobin levels in persons with type 2 diabetes is uncertain. METHODS In this trial involving participants with type 2 diabetes of less than 10 years' duration who were receiving metformin and had glycated hemoglobin levels of 6.8 to 8.5%, we compared the effectiveness of four commonly used glucose-lowering medications. We randomly assigned participants to receive insulin glargine U-100 (hereafter, glargine), the sulfonylurea glimepiride, the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide, or sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor. The primary metabolic outcome was a glycated hemoglobin level, measured quarterly, of 7.0% or higher that was subsequently confirmed, and the secondary metabolic outcome was a confirmed glycated hemoglobin level greater than 7.5%. RESULTS A total of 5047 participants (19.8% Black and 18.6% Hispanic or Latinx) who had received metformin for type 2 diabetes were followed for a mean of 5.0 years. The cumulative incidence of a glycated hemoglobin level of 7.0% or higher (the primary metabolic outcome) differed significantly among the four groups (P < 0.001 for a global test of differences across groups); the rates with glargine (26.5 per 100 participant-years) and liraglutide (26.1) were similar and lower than those with glimepiride (30.4) and sitagliptin (38.1). The differences among the groups with respect to a glycated hemoglobin level greater than 7.5% (the secondary outcome) paralleled those of the primary outcome. There were no material differences with respect to the primary outcome across prespecified subgroups defined according to sex, age, or race or ethnic group; however, among participants with higher baseline glycated hemoglobin levels there appeared to be an even greater benefit with glargine, liraglutide, and glimepiride than with sitagliptin. Severe hypoglycemia was rare but significantly more frequent with glimepiride (in 2.2% of the participants) than with glargine (1.3%), liraglutide (1.0%), or sitagliptin (0.7%). Participants who received liraglutide reported more frequent gastrointestinal side effects and lost more weight than those in the other treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS All four medications, when added to metformin, decreased glycated hemoglobin levels. However, glargine and liraglutide were significantly, albeit modestly, more effective in achieving and maintaining target glycated hemoglobin levels.

One possible path is to employ brain signal collecting technologies together with emerging programmable metasurfaces (PM), whose functions or operating modes can be switched or customized via on-site programming or pre-defined software. Nevertheless, most of existing PMs are wire-connected to users, manually-controlled and not real-time. Here, we propose the concept of remotely mind-controlled metasurface (RMCM) via brainwaves. Rather than DC voltage from power supply or AC voltages from signal generators, the metasurface is controlled by brainwaves collected in real time and transmitted wirelessly from the user. As an example, we demonstrated a RMCM whose scattering pattern can be altered dynamically according to the user's brain waves via Bluetooth. The attention intensity information is extracted as the control signal and a mapping between attention intensity and scattering pattern of the metasurface is established. With such a framework, we experimentally demonstrated and verified a prototype of such metasurface system which can be remotely controlled by the user to modify its scattering pattern. This work paves a new way to intelligent metasurfaces and may find applications in health monitoring, 5G/6G communications, smart sensors, etc.","","","","","","","","","","","",85,90,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 11",2022,2,1,"","","","","","",10,"10.1186/s43593-022-00016-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s43593-022-00016-0","","","","","","Optics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001093209100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and Methods In January to June 2021, consecutive patients with coronary stents were prospectively enrolled to undergo a coronary computed tomography (CT) with an EID-DLCT (IQon, Philips) and an SPCCT (Philips). The study was approved by the local ethical committee and patients signed an informed consent. A retrospectively electrocardiogram-gated acquisition was performed with optimized matching parameters on the 2 scanners (EID-DLCT: collimation, 64 x 0.625 mm; kVp, 120, automatic exposure control with target current at 255 mAs; rotation time, 0.27 seconds; SPCCT: collimation, 64 x 0.275 mm; kVp, 120; mAs, 255; rotation time, 0.33 seconds). The injection protocol was the same on both scanners: 65 to 75 mL of Iomeron (Bracco) at 5 mL/s. Images were reconstructed with slice thickness of 0.67 mm, 512 matrix, XCB (Xres cardiac standard) and XCD (Xres cardiac detailed) kernel, iDose 3 for EID-DLCT and 0.25-mm slice thickness, 1024 matrix, Detailed 2 and Sharp kernel, and iDose 6 for SPCCT. Two experienced observers measured the proximal and distal external and internal diameters of the stents to quantify blooming artifacts. Regions of interest were drawn in the lumen of the stent and of the upstream coronary artery. The difference (Delta S-C) between the respective attenuation values was calculated as a quantification of stent-induced artifacts on intrastent image quality. For subjective image quality, 3 experienced observers graded with a 4-point scale the image quality of different parameters: coronary wall before the stent, stent lumen, stent structure, calcifications surrounding the stent, and beam-hardening artifacts. Results Eight patients (age, 68 years [interquartile range, 8]; all men; body mass index, 26.2 kg/m(2) [interquartile range, 4.2]) with 16 stents were scanned. Five stents were not evaluable owing to motion artifacts on the SPCCT. Of the remaining, all were drug eluting stents, of which 6 were platinum-chromium, 3 were cobalt-platinum-iridium, and 1 was stainless steel. For 1 stent, no information could be retrieved. Radiation dose was lower with the SPCCT (fixed CT dose index of 25.7 mGy for SPCCT vs median CT dose index of 35.7 [IQ = 13.6] mGy; P = 0.02). For 1 stent, the internal diameter was not assessable on EID-DLCT. External diameters were smaller and internal diameters were larger with SPCCT (all P < 0.05). Consequently, blooming artifacts were reduced on SPCCT (P < 0.05). Whereas Hounsfield unit values within the coronary arteries on the 2 scanners were similar, the Delta S-C was lower for SPCCT-Sharp as compared with EID-DLCT-XCD and SPCCT-Detailed 2 (P < 0.05). The SPCCT received higher subjective scores than EID-DLCT for stent lumen, stent structure, surrounding calcifications and beam-hardening for both Detailed 2 and Sharp (all P <= 0.05). The SPCCT-Sharp was judged better for stent structure and beam-hardening assessment as compared with SPCCT-Detailed 2. Conclusion Spectral photon counting CT demonstrated improved objective and subjective image quality as compared with EID-DLCT for the evaluation of coronary stents even with a reduced radiation dose.","","","","","","","","","","","",83,85,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2022,57,4,"","","","",212,221,"","10.1097/RLI.0000000000000835","http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/RLI.0000000000000835","","","","","","Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000785805700002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Objective The aim of the study was to document the accumulated experience from more than 30 years of conducting HRIPTs. Methods A retrospective collation of HRIPT studies carried out to a consistent protocol was undertaken, with each study comprising a minimum of 100 volunteers. Conclusions The HRIPT outcomes from 154 studies on 134 substances using 16,512 volunteers were obtained. Most studies confirmed that at the selected induction/challenge dose, sensitization was not induced. In 0.12% of subjects (n = 20), there was induction of allergy. However, in the last 11 years, only 3 (0.03%) of 9854 subjects became sensitized, perhaps because of improved definition of a safe HRIPT dose from the local lymph node assay and other skin sensitization methodologies, as well as more rigorous application of the standard protocol after publication in 2008. This experience with HRIPTs demonstrates that de novo sensitization induction is rare and becoming rarer, but it plays an important role as an indicator that toxicological predictions from nonhuman test methods (in vivo and in vitro methods) can be imperfect.","","","","","","","","","","","",878,878,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP-OCT",2021,32,5,"","","","",339,352,"","10.1097/DER.0000000000000684","http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/DER.0000000000000684","","","","","","Dermatology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000697215000015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Due to their operative nanoscale, the mechanical behavior of such structures might also be influenced by inter-atomic material interactions. For these reasons, nonlocal models are usually introduced for studying their mechanical behavior. Sensor technology of plate structures should be formulated with coupled mechanics where elastic, magnetic and electric fields interact among themselves. In addition, the effect of hygro-thermal environments are also considered since their presence might effect the nanoplate behavior. In this work a trigonometric approach is developed for investigating smart composite nanoplates using a strain gradient nonlocal procedure.

We reviewed the clinical information, CT images, and corresponding image reports of these 53 patients. The CT images included images from 99 chest CT examinations, including initial and follow-up CT studies. We compared the image reports of the initial CT study with the laboratory test results and identified CT patterns suggestive of viral infection. RESULTS. COVID-19 was misdiagnosed as a common infection at the initial CT study in two inpatients with underlying disease and COVID-19. Viral pneumonia was correctly diagnosed at the initial CT study in the remaining 49 patients with COVID-19 and two patients with adenovirus. These patients were isolated and obtained treatment. Ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and consolidation with or without vascular enlargement, interlobular septal thickening, and air bronchogram sign are common CT features of COVID-19. The The reversed halo sign and pulmonary nodules with a halo sign are uncommon CT features. The CT findings of COVID-19 overlap with the CT findings of adenovirus infection. There are differences as well as similarities in the CT features of COVID-19 compared with those of the severe acute respiratory syndrome. CONCLUSION. We found that chest CT had a low rate of missed diagnosis of COVID-19 (3.9%, 2/51) and may be useful as a standard method for the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 to optimize the management of patients. However, CT is still limited for identifying specific viruses and distinguishing between viruses.","","","","","","","","","","","",628,644,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN",2020,214,6,"","","","",1280,1286,"","10.2214/AJR.20.22954","http://dx.doi.org/10.2214/AJR.20.22954","","","","","","Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000536126600011","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Despite its ability to improve the validity of the quantitative evidence, formative qualitative research is underreported. Objective To improve the frequency and quality of reporting, we developed guidelines for reporting this type of research. The guidelines focus on formative qualitative research used to develop robust and acceptable quantitative study protocols and corresponding survey instruments in HPR. Methods In December 2018, a steering committee was formed as a means to accumulate the expertise of the HPR community on the reporting guidelines (21 members, seven countries, multiple settings and disciplines). Using existing guidelines and examples, the committee constructed, revised, and refined the guidelines. The guidelines underwent beta testing by three researchers, and further revisions to the guidelines were made based on their feedback as well as on comments from members of the International Academy of Health Preference Research (IAHPR) and the editorial board of The Patient: Patient-Centered Outcomes Research. Results The guidelines have five components: introductory material (4 domains), methods (12), results/findings (2), discussion (2), and other (2). They are concordant with existing guidelines, published examples, beta-testing results, and expert comments. Conclusions Publishing formative qualitative research is a necessary step toward strengthening the foundation of any quantitative study, enhancing the relevance of its preference evidence. The guidelines should aid researchers, reviewers, and regulatory agencies and promote transparency within HPR more broadly.","","","","","","","","","","","",116,127,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2020,13,1,"","","","",121,136,"","10.1007/s40271-019-00401-x","http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s40271-019-00401-x","","DEC 2019","","","","Health Care Sciences & Services","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000502590200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

NRG Oncology/RTOG 0813 was a phase I/II study designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), efficacy, and toxicity of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for centrally located NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medically inoperable patients with biopsy-proven, positron emission tomography-staged T1 to 2 (<= 5 cm) N0M0 centrally located NSCLC were accrued into a dose-escalating, five-fraction SBRT schedule that ranged from 10 to 12 Gy/fraction (fx) delivered over 1.5 to 2 weeks. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as any treatment-related grade 3 or worse predefined toxicity that occurred within the first year. MTD was defined as the SBRT dose at which the probability of DLT was closest to 20% without exceeding it. RESULTS One hundred twenty patients were accrued between February 2009 and September 2013. Patients were elderly, there were slightly more females, and the majority had a performance status of 0 to 1. Most cancers were T1 (65%) and squamous cell (45%). Organs closest to planning target volume/most at risk were the main bronchus and large vessels. Median follow-up was 37.9 months. Five patients experienced DLTs; MTD was 12.0 Gy/fx, which had a probability of a DLT of 7.2% (95% CI, 2.8% to 14.5%). Two-year rates for the 71 evaluable patients in the 11.5 and 12.0 Gy/fx cohorts were local control, 89.4% (90% CI, 81.6% to 97.4%) and 87.9% (90% CI, 78.8% to 97.0%); overall survival, 67.9% (95% CI, 50.4% to 80.3%) and 72.7% (95% CI, 54.1% to 84.8%); and progression-free survival, 52.2% (95% CI, 35.3% to 66.6%) and 54.5% (95% CI, 36.3% to 69.6%), respectively. CONCLUSION The MTD for this study was 12.0 Gy/fx; it was associated with 7.2% DLTs and high rates of tumor control. Outcomes in this medically inoperable group of mostly elderly patients with comorbidities were comparable with that of patients with peripheral early-stage tumors.

This method is based on a five-step algorithm that mimics the judgment made by an expert analyst in identifying the linear segments in Tauc plots and subsequent estimation of the Eg value. It is demonstrated that the method to estimate Eg by intersecting the straight-line fit of the Tauc segment with the photon energy axis is not appropriate for those samples containing more than one optical absorbing phase because systematic underestimation of the Eg value results. The automated method accounts for such cases by introducing a base line function. The robustness of the implemented algorithm was tested using three model systems, ZnO-Al2O3, ZnO-CoO and ZnO-CdO. The estimated Eg's using the automated method differ in less than 1% than those obtained by its manual counterpart.","","","","","","","","","","","",165,173,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2019,5,4,"","","","","","","e01505","10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e01505","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e01505","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000466970300062","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

These include extremely long coherence times, high-fidelity quantum operation, and the ability to shuttle electrons as a mechanism for on-chip flying qubits. To increase the number of qubits to the thousands or millions of qubits needed for practical quantum information, we present an architecture based on shared control and a scalable number of lines. Crucially, the control lines define the qubit grid, such that no local components are required. Our design enables qubit coupling beyond nearest neighbors, providing prospects for nonplanar quantum error correction protocols. Fabrication is based on a three-layer design to define qubit and tunnel barrier gates. We show that a double stripline on top of the structure can drive high-fidelity single-qubit rotations. Self-aligned inhomogeneous magnetic fields induced by direct currents through superconducting gates enable qubit address ability and readout. Qubit coupling is based on the exchange interaction, and we show that parallel two-qubit gates can be performed at the detuning-noise insensitive point. While the architecture requires a high level of uniformity in the materials and critical dimensions to enable shared control, it stands out for its simplicity and provides prospects for large-scale quantum computation in the near future.","","","","","","","","","","","",209,236,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL",2018,4,7,"","","","","","","eaar3960","10.1126/sciadv.aar3960","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aar3960","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000443176100014","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

CBD products can currently be purchased online, over the counter and at Cannabis-specific dispensaries throughout most of the country, despite the fact that CBD is generally deemed a Schedule I controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and renounced as a dietary supplement ingredient by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Consumer demand for CBD is high and growing, but few studies have examined the reasons for increasing CBD use. Materials and Methods: A self-selected convenience sample (n=2409) was recruited via an online survey designed to characterize whom, how, and why individuals are currently using CBD. The anonymous questionnaire was accessed from October 25, 2017 to January 25, 2018. Participants were recruited through social media. Results: Almost 62% of CBD users reported using CBD to treat a medical condition. The top three medical conditions were pain, anxiety, and depression. Almost 36% of respondents reported that CBD treats their medical condition(s) very well by itself, while only 4.3% reported not very well. One out of every three users reported a nonserious adverse effect. The odds of using CBD to treat a medical condition were 1.44 (95% confidence interval, 1.16-1.79) times greater among nonregular users of Cannabis than among regular users. Conclusion: Consumers are using CBD as a specific therapy for multiple diverse medical conditions-particularly pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. These data provide a compelling rationale for further research to better understand the therapeutic potential of CBD.","","","","","","","","","","","",204,226,"","","","","","","","","","","",2018,3,1,"","","","",152,161,"","10.1089/can.2018.0006","http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/can.2018.0006","","","","","","Pharmacology & Pharmacy","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000616128300016","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The phase development of the samples was determined using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TG). X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the formation of a single-phase spinel ferrite in CuCoFe2O4 (CuCoF), NiCoFe2O4 (NiCoF) and NiCuFe2O4 (NiCuF). The surface characteristics and elemental composition of the nanocomposites have been studied by means of field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), as well as energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The electrochemical performance of the nanomaterials was evaluated using a two-electrode configuration by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and galvanostatic technique in 1 M KOH electrolyte and was found to be in the order of: CuCoF > NiCoF > NiCuF. A maximum specific capacitance of 221 Fg(-1) was obtained with CuCoF at a scan rate of 5 mV s(-1). In addition to an excellent cycling stability, an energy density of 7.9 kW kg(-1) was obtained at a current density of 1 Ag-1. The high electrochemical performance of the MTTMF nanocomposites obtained indicates that these materials are promising electrodes for supercapacitors. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.

Particularly important are beta-decay half-lives of neutron-rich nuclei. At present only a single systematic calculation exists that provides values for all relevant nucleimaking it difficult to test the sensitivity of nucleosynthesis models to this input. Additionally, even though there are indications that their contribution may be significant, the impact of first-forbidden transitions on decay rates has not been systematically studied within a consistent model. Purpose: Our goal is to provide a table of beta-decay half-lives and beta-delayed neutron emission probabilities, including first-forbidden transitions, calculated within a fully self-consistent microscopic theoretical framework. The results are used in an r-process nucleosynthesis calculation to asses the sensitivity of heavy element nucleosynthesis to weak interaction reaction rates. Method: We use a fully self-consistent covariant density functional theory (CDFT) framework. The ground state of all nuclei is calculated with the relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov (RHB) model, and excited states are obtained within the proton-neutron relativistic quasiparticle random phase approximation (pn-RQRPA). Results: The beta-decay half-lives, beta-delayed neutron emission probabilities, and the average number of emitted neutrons have been calculated for 5409 nuclei in the neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart. We observe a significant contribution of the first-forbidden transitions to the total decay rate in nuclei far from the valley of stability. The experimental half-lives are in general well reproduced for even-even, odd-A, and odd-odd nuclei, in particular for short-lived nuclei. The resulting data table is included with the article as Supplemental Material. Conclusions: In certain regions of the nuclear chart, first-forbidden transitions constitute a large fraction of the total decay rate and must be taken into account consistently in modern evaluations of half-lives. Both the beta-decay half-lives and beta-delayed neutron emission probabilities have a noticeable impact on the results of heavy element nucleosynthesis models.","","","","","","","","","","","",226,242,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 12",2016,93,2,"","","","","","",25805,"10.1103/PhysRevC.93.025805","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.93.025805","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000370026500002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Methods and Materials: Patients with biopsy-proven peripheral (>= 2 cm from the central bronchial tree) T1 or T2, N0 (clinically node negative by positron emission tomography), M0 tumors were eligible. Patients were randomized to receive either 34 Gy in 1 fraction (arm 1) or 48 Gy in 4 consecutive daily fractions (arm 2). Rigorous central accreditation and quality assurance confirmed treatment per protocol guidelines. This study was designed to detect a psAEs rate >17% at a 10% significance level (1-sided) and 90% power. Secondary endpoints included rates of primary tumor control (PC), overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) at 1 year. Designating the better of the 2 regimens was based on prespecified rules of psAEs and PC for each arm. Results: Ninety-four patients were accrued between September 2009 and March 2011. The median follow-up time was 30.2 months. Of 84 analyzable patients, 39 were in arm 1 and 45 in arm 2. Patient and tumor characteristics were balanced between arms. Four (10.3%) patients on arm 1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9%-24.2%) and 6 (13.3%) patients on arm 2 (95% CI 5.1%-26.8%) experienced psAEs. The 2-year OS rate was 61.3% (95% CI 44.2%-74.6%) for arm 1 patients and 77.7% (95% CI 62.5%-87.3%) for arm 2. The 2-year DFS was 56.4% (95% CI 39.6%-70.2%) for arm 1 and 71.1% (95% CI 55.5%-82.1%) for arm 2. The 1-year PC rate was 97.0% (95% CI 84.2%-99.9%) for arm 1 and 92.7% (95% CI 80.1%-98.5%) for arm 2.

However, in other disease states and animal models, gut anaerobes are protective against pneumonia, organ failure and mortality. We therefore designed a translational series of analyses and experiments to determine the effects of anti-anaerobic antibiotics on the risk of adverse clinical outcomes among critically ill patients.Methods We conducted a retrospective single-centre cohort study of 3032 critically ill patients, comparing patients who did and did not receive early anti-anaerobic antibiotics. We compared intensive care unit outcomes (ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)-free survival, infection-free survival and overall survival) in all patients and changes in gut microbiota in a subcohort of 116 patients. In murine models, we studied the effects of anaerobe depletion in infectious (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia) and noninfectious (hyperoxia) injury models.Results Early administration of anti-anaerobic antibiotics was associated with decreased VAP-free survival (hazard ratio (HR) 1.24, 95% CI 1.06-1.45), infection-free survival (HR 1.22, 95% CI 1.09-1.38) and overall survival (HR 1.14, 95% CI 1.02-1.28). Patients who received anti-anaerobic antibiotics had decreased initial gut bacterial density (p=0.00038), increased microbiome expansion during hospitalisation (p=0.011) and domination by Enterobacteriaceae spp. (p=0.045). Enterobacteriaceae were also enriched among respiratory pathogens in anti-anaerobic-treated patients (p<2.2x10-16). In murine models, treatment with anti-anaerobic antibiotics increased susceptibility to Enterobacteriaceae pneumonia (p<0.05) and increased the lethality of hyperoxia (p=0.0002).Conclusions In critically ill patients, early treatment with anti-anaerobic antibiotics is associated with increased mortality. Mechanisms may include enrichment of the gut with respiratory pathogens, but increased mortality is incompletely explained by infections alone. Given consistent clinical and experimental evidence of harm, the widespread use of anti-anaerobic antibiotics should be reconsidered.","","","","","","","","","","","",61,61,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 1",2023,61,2,"","","","","","",2200910,"10.1183/13993003.00910-2022","http://dx.doi.org/10.1183/13993003.00910-2022","","","","","","Respiratory System","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000957225600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Along with it, drug transport and permeability studies across the nasal mucosa have exponentially increased. Nevertheless, the translation of data from in vitro cell lines to in vivo studies is not always reliable, due to the difficulty in generating an in vitro model that resembles respiratory human physiology. Among all currently available methodologies, the air-liquid interface (ALI) method is advantageous to promote cell differentiation and optimize the morphological and histological characteristics of airway epithelium cells. Cells grown under ALI conditions, in alternative to submerged conditions, appear to provide relevant input for inhalation and pulmonary toxicology and complement in vivo experiments. Different methodologies and a variety of materials have been used to induce ALI conditions in primary cells and numerous cell lines. Until this day, with only exploratory results, no consensus has been reached regarding the validation of the ALI method, hampering data comparison. The present review describes the most adequate cell models of airway epithelium and how these models are differently affected by ALI conditions. It includes the evaluation of cellular features before and after ALI, and the application of the method in primary cell cultures, commercial 3D primary cells, cell lines and stem-cell derived models. A variety of these models have been recently applied for pharmacological studies against severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus(-2) SARS-CoV(-2), namely primary cultures with alveolar type II epithelium cells and organotypic 3D models. The herein compiled data suggest that ALI conditions must be optimized bearing in mind the type of cells (nasal, bronchial, alveolar), their origin and the objective of the study.","","","","","","","","","","","",49,53,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2023,184,"","","","","",62,82,"","10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.01.013","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpb.2023.01.013","","JAN 2023","","","","Pharmacology & Pharmacy","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000964928800001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The novelty of the flow model is the exploration of the significance of boosting the volume concentration of dust particles in fluid dynamics. The governing PDEs of the problem for both phase models are transmuted into nonlinear coupled non-dimensional ODEs by utilizing suitable similarity modifications. The bvp4c technique was utilized in MATLAB script to acquire a graphical representation of the experimental results. This study illustrates the analysis of repercussions of pertinent parameters on non-Newtonian fluid and the dusty phase of fluid. By improving the volume concentration of dust particles and rotating parameters, the axial velocity for both phases depreciates, whereas temperature and transverse velocity for both phases have the opposite behavior. The micro-rotation distribution rises with higher contributions of rotating and material parameters, whereas it decreases against larger inputs of volume concentration of dust particles. The growing strength of the dust volume fraction (phi(d)) caused the coefficient of skin friction to decrease along the x direction, and the skin friction coefficient is raised along the y direction.","","","","","","","","","","","",76,77,"","","","","","","","","","","AUG",2022,10,15,"","","","","","",2630,"10.3390/math10152630","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/math10152630","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000839953300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

A.","","","Generic boundaries in the Ophiostomatales reconsidered and revised","STUDIES IN MYCOLOGY","","","","Article","","","","","","","","The Ophiostomatales was erected in 1980. Since that time, several of the genera have been redefined and others have been described. There are currently 14 accepted genera in the Order. They include species that are the causal agents of plant and human diseases and common associates of insects such as bark beetles. Well known examples include the Dutch elm disease fungi and the causal agents of sporotrichosis in humans and animals. The taxonomy of the Ophiostomatales was confused for many years, mainly due to the convergent evolution of morphological characters used to delimit unrelated fungal taxa. The emergence of DNA-based methods has resolved much of this confusion. However, the delineation of some genera and the placement of various species and smaller lineages remains inconclusive. In this study we reconsidered the generic boundaries within the Ophiostomatales. Aphylogenomic framework constructed from genome-wide sequence data for 31 species representing the major genera in the Order was used as a guide to delineate genera. This framework also informed our choice of the best markers from the currently most commonly used gene regions for taxonomic studies of these fungi. DNA was amplified and sequenced for more than 200 species, representing all lineages in the Order. We constructed phylogenetic trees based on the different gene regions and assembled a concatenated data set utilising a suite of phylogenetic analyses. The results supported and confirmed the delineation of nine of the 14 currently accepted genera, i.e. Aureovirgo, Ceratocystiopsis, Esteya, Fragosphaeria, Graphilbum, Hawksworthiomyces, Ophiostoma, Raffaelea and Sporothrix. The two most recently described genera, Chsysosphaeria and Intubia, were not included in the multi-locus analyses. This was due to their high sequence divergence, which was shown to result in ambiguous taxonomic placement, even though the results of phylogenomic analysis supported their inclusion in the Ophiostomatales. In addition to the currently accepted genera in the Ophiostomatales, well-supported lineages emerged that were distinct from those genera. These are described as novel genera. Two lineages included the type species of Grosmannia and Dryadomyces and these genera are thus reinstated and their circumscriptions redefined. The descriptions of all genera in the Ophiostomatales were standardised and refined where this was required and 39 new combinations have been provided for species in the newly emerging genera and one new combination has been provided for Sporothrix. The placement of Afroraffaelea could not be confirmed using the available data and the genus has been treated as incertae sedis in the Ophiostomatales. Paleoambrosia was not included in this study, due to the absence of living material available for this monotypic fossil genus. Overall, this study has provided the most comprehensive and robust phylogenies currently possible for the Ophiostomatales. It has also clarified several unresolved One Fungus-One Name nomenclatural issues relevant to the Order.","","","","","","","","","","","",66,68,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2022,"",101,"","","","",57,"+","","10.3114/sim.2022.101.02","http://dx.doi.org/10.3114/sim.2022.101.02","","","","","","Mycology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000821835800002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Progress in the detector design, paired with higher fidelity in its simulation and an advanced data analysis, based on the one used for the final results of EXO-200, produce a sensitivity prediction that exceeds the half-life of 10(28) years. Specifically, improvements have been made in the understanding of production of scintillation photons and charge as well as of their transport and reconstruction in the detector. The more detailed knowledge of the detector construction has been paired with more assays for trace radioactivity in different materials. In particular, the use of custom electroformed copper is now incorporated in the design, leading to a substantial reduction in backgrounds from the intrinsic radioactivity of detector materials. Furthermore, a number of assumptions from previous sensitivity projections have gained further support from interim work validating the nEXO experiment concept. Together these improvements and updates suggest that the nEXO experiment will reach a half-life sensitivity of 1.35 x 10(28) yr at 90% confidence level in 10 years of data taking, covering the parameter space associated with the inverted neutrino mass ordering, along with a significant portion of the parameter space for the normal ordering scenario, for almost all nuclear matrix elements. The effects of backgrounds deviating from the nominal values used for the projections are also illustrated, concluding that the nEXO design is robust against a number of imperfections of the model.","","","","","","","","","","","",82,91,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2022,49,1,"","","","","","",15104,"10.1088/1361-6471/ac3631","http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/ac3631","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000727008400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, it is often required to segment or interleave independent sub-array metasurfaces to multiplex optical vortices in a single nano-device, which in turn affects the device's compactness and channel capacity. Here, inspired by phyllotaxis patterns in pine cones and sunflowers, we theoretically prove and experimentally report that multiple optical vortices can be produced in a single compact phyllotaxis nanosieve, both in free space and on a chip, where one meta-atom may contribute to many vortices simultaneously. The time-resolved dynamics of on-chip interference wavefronts between multiple plasmonic vortices was revealed by ultrafast time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy. Our nature-inspired optical vortex generator would facilitate various vortex-related optical applications, including structured wavefront shaping, free-space and plasmonic vortices, and high-capacity information metaphotonics.","","","","","","","","","","","",161,174,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 22",2021,1,1,"","","","","","",5,"10.1186/s43593-021-00005-9","http://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s43593-021-00005-9","","","","","","Optics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001093207700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and Methods: Outpatient encounters (N = 42 916 349) were categorized by care type (eg, primary, mental health, etc) and delivery method (eg, in-person, video). For 5 400 878 Veterans, we used generalized linear models to identify patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics associated with: 1) use of virtual (phone or video) care versus no virtual care and 2) use of video care versus no video care between March 11, 2020 and June 6, 2020. Results: By June, 58% of VA care was provided virtually compared to only 14% prior. Patients with lower income, higher disability, and more chronic conditions were more likely to receive virtual care during the pandemic. Yet, Veterans aged 45-64 and 65+ were less likely to use video care compared to those aged 18-44 (aRR 0.80 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.79, 0.82] and 0.50 [95% CI 0.48, 0.52], respectively). Rural and homeless Veterans were 12% and 11% less likely to use video care compared to urban (0.88 [95% CI 0.86, 0.90]) and nonhomeless Veterans (0.89 [95% CI 0.86, 0.92]). Discussion: Veterans with high clinical or social need had higher likelihood of virtual service use early in the COVID-19 pandemic; however, older, homeless, and rural Veterans were less likely to have video visits, raising concerns for access barriers. Conclusions and Relevance: While virtual care may expand access, access barriers must be addressed to avoid exacerbating disparities.","","","","","","","","","","","",171,175,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR",2021,28,3,"","","","",453,462,"","10.1093/jamia/ocaa284","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jamia/ocaa284","","","","","","Computer Science; Health Care Sciences & Services; Information Science & Library Science; Medical Informatics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000637314400004","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Comprehensive pathological descriptions of COVID-19 are scarce and limited in scope. We aimed to describe the histopathological findings and viral tropism in patients who died of severe COVID-19. Methods In this case series, patients were considered eligible if they were older than 18 years, with premortem diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection and COVID-19 listed clinically as the direct cause of death. Between March 1 and April 30, 2020, full post-mortem examinations were done on nine patients with confirmed COVID-19, including sampling of all major organs. A limited autopsy was done on one additional patient. Histochemical and immunohistochemical analyses were done, and histopathological findings were reported by subspecialist pathologists. Viral quantitative RT-PCR analysis was done on tissue samples from a subset of patients. Findings The median age at death of our cohort of ten patients was 73 years (IQR 52-79). Thrombotic features were observed in at least one major organ in all full autopsies, predominantly in the lung (eight [89%] of nine patients), heart (five [56%]), and kidney (four [44%]). Diffuse alveolar damage was the most consistent lung finding (all ten patients); however, organisation was noted in patients with a longer clinical course. We documented lymphocyte depletion (particularly CD8-positive T cells) in haematological organs and haemophagocytosis. Evidence of acute tubular injury was noted in all nine patients examined. Major unexpected findings were acute pancreatitis (two [22%] of nine patients), adrenal micro-infarction (three [33%]), pericarditis (two [22%]), disseminated mucormycosis (one [10%] of ten patients), aortic dissection (one [11%] of nine patients), and marantic endocarditis (one [11%]). Viral genomes were detected outside of the respiratory tract in four of five patients. The presence of subgenomic viral RNA transcripts provided evidence of active viral replication outside the respiratory tract in three of five patients. Interpretation Our series supports clinical data showing that the four dominant interrelated pathological processes in severe COVID-19 are diffuse alveolar damage, thrombosis, haemophagocytosis, and immune cell depletion. Additionally, we report here several novel autopsy findings including pancreatitis, pericarditis, adrenal microinfarction, secondary disseminated mucormycosis, and brain microglial activation, which require additional investigation to understand their role in COVID-19.","","","","","","","","","","","",372,389,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT",2020,1,6,"","","","","E245","E253","","10.1016/S2666-5247(20)30115-4","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2666-5247(20)30115-4","","","","","","Infectious Diseases; Microbiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000612944100015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

COVID-19 with new onset of CVD were significantly older (75.7 +/- 10.8 years vs 52.1 +/- 15.3 years, p<0.001), more likely to present with severe COVID-19 (81.8% vs 39.9%, p<0.01) and were more likely to have cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes and medical history of CVD (all p<0.05). In addition, they were more likely to have increased inflammatory response and hypercoagulable state as reflected in C reactive protein (51.1 (1.3-127.9) vs 12.1 (0.1-212.0) mg/L, p<0.05) and D-dimer (6.9 (0.3-20.0) vs 0.5 (0.1-20.0) mg/L, p<0.001). Of 10 patients with ischemic stroke; 6 received antiplatelet treatment with aspirin or clopidogrel; and 3 of them died. The other four patients received anticoagulant treatment with enoxaparin and 2 of them died. As of 24 March 2020, six patients with CVD died (54.5%). Conclusion Acute CVD is not uncommon in COVID-19. Our findings suggest that older patients with risk factors are more likely to develop CVD. The development of CVD is an important negative prognostic factor which requires further study to identify optimal management strategy to combat the COVID-19 outbreak.","","","","","","","","","","","",610,641,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP",2020,5,3,"","","","",279,284,"","10.1136/svn-2020-000431","http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/svn-2020-000431","","","","","","Neurosciences & Neurology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000578622800007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Practical and theoretical implications","MEMORY","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Our understanding of human memory has gained greatly from the study of individuals with impaired memory but rather less from outstandingly high levels of memory performance. Exceptions include the case of London taxi drivers whose extensive route learning results in modification of their hippocampus. Our study involves a group whose extensive verbal learning potentially provides a similar natural experiment. The Muslim faith encourages followers to memorise the whole of the Qur'an, some 77,449 words in its classic Arabic form. Successful memorisers are known as Hafiz. We tested 10 Hafiz, 12 background-matched Muslim controls and 10 non-Muslim participants, on their detailed knowledge of the Qur'an and on their performance on standard measures of verbal and visuospatial learning. We found no differences between the three groups in their capacity to memorise verbal or visuospatial material and hence no evidence of generalisation of learning capacity in the Hafiz group. More surprisingly, however, half of the Hafiz group did not understand Arabic but were equivalent in Qur'anic memory to those who did. Given the importance that meaning is typically assumed to play in long-term memory, this was unexpected. We discuss the practical and theoretical implications of these results for verbal memory and long-term learning.","","","","","","","","","","","",207,338,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 13",2020,28,8,"","","","",1014,1023,"","10.1080/09658211.2020.1811347","http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/09658211.2020.1811347","","AUG 2020","","","","Psychology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000564980200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Invalid instruments are such that they fail the exclusion restriction and enter the model as explanatory variables. We show that for this setup, the Lasso may not consistently select the invalid instruments if these are relatively strong. We propose a median estimator that is consistent when less than 50% of the instruments are invalid, and its consistency does not depend on the relative strength of the instruments, or their correlation structure. We show that this estimator can be used for adaptive Lasso estimation, with the resulting estimator having oracle properties. The methods are applied to a Mendelian randomization study to estimate the causal effect of body mass index (BMI) on diastolic blood pressure, using data on individuals from the UK Biobank, with 96 single nucleotide polymorphisms as potential instruments for BMI.

CheckMate 032 is a phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label study of nivolumab or nivolumab plus ipilimumab in SCLC or other advanced/metastatic solid tumors previously treated with one or more platinum-based chemotherapies. We report results of third-or later-line nivolumab monotherapy treatment in SCLC. Methods: In this analysis, patients with limited-stage or extensive-stage SCLC and disease progression after two or more chemotherapy regimens received nivolumab monotherapy, 3 mg/kg every 2 weeks, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The primary end point was objective response rate. Secondary end points included duration of response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and safety. Results: Between December 4, 2013, and November 30, 2016, 109 patients began receiving third-or later-line nivolumab monotherapy. At a median follow-up of 28.3 months (from first dose to database lock), the objective response rate was 11.9% (95% confidence interval: 6.519.5) with a median duration of response of 17.9 months (range 3.0-42.1). At 6 months, 17.2% of patients were progression-free. The 12-month and 18-month overall survival rates were 28.3% and 20.0%, respectively. Grade 3 to 4 treatment-related adverse events occurred in 11.9% of patients. Three patients (2.8%) discontinued because of treatment-related adverse events. Conclusions: Nivolumab monotherapy provided durable responses and was well tolerated as a third-or later-line treatment for recurrent SCLC. These results suggest that nivolumab monotherapy is an effective third-or later-line treatment for this patient population.

The majority of quantum algorithms for this problem encode the wavefunction using N Gaussian orbitals, leading to Hamiltonians with O(N-4) second-quantized terms. We avoid this overhead and extend methods to condensed phase materials by utilizing a dual form of the plane wave basis which diagonalizes the potential operator, leading to a Hamiltonian representation with O(N-2) second-quantized terms. Using this representation, we can implement single Trotter steps of the Hamiltonians with linear gate depth on a planar lattice. Properties of the basis allow us to deploy Trotter-and Taylor-series-based simulations with respective circuit depths of O(N-7/2) and (O) over tilde (N-8/3) for fixed charge densities. Variational algorithms also require significantly fewer measurements in this basis, ameliorating a primary challenge of that approach. While our approach applies to the simulation of arbitrary electronic structure problems, the basis sets explored in this work will be most practical for treating periodic systems, such as crystalline materials, in the near term. We conclude with a proposal to simulate the uniform electron gas (jellium) using a low-depth variational ansatz realizable on near-term quantum devices. From these results, we identify simulations of low-density jellium as a promising first setting to explore quantum supremacy in electronic structure.","","","","","","","","","","","",236,270,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 21",2018,8,1,"","","","","","",11044,"10.1103/PhysRevX.8.011044","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.8.011044","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000427988900001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Such a latent matrix is often provided by experts and assumed to be correct upon construction, yet it may be subjective and misspecified. Recognizing this problem, researchers have been developing methods to estimate the matrix from data. However, the fundamental issue of the identifiability of the latent structure matrix has not been addressed until now. The first goal of this article is to establish identifiability conditions that ensure the estimability of the structure matrix. With the theoretical development, the second part of the article proposes a likelihood-based method to estimate the latent structure from the data. Simulation studies show that the proposed method outperforms the existing approaches. We further illustrate the method through a dataset in educational assessment.

Objective.-To provide updated, practical guidelines for the pathologic diagnosis of MM. Data Sources.-Pathologists involved in the International Mesothelioma Interest Group and others with an interest and expertise in the field contributed to this update. Reference material included up-to-date, peer-reviewed publications and textbooks. Conclusions.-There was discussion and consensus opinion regarding guidelines for (1) distinguishing benign from malignant mesothelial proliferations (both epithelioid and spindle cell lesions), (2) cytologic diagnosis of MM, (3) recognition of the key histologic features of pleural and peritoneal MM, (4) use of histochemical and immunohistochemical stains in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of MM, (5) differentiating epithelioid MM from various carcinomas (lung, breast, ovarian, and colonic adenocarcinomas, and squamous cell and renal cell carcinomas), (6) diagnosis of sarcomatoid MM, (7) use of molecular markers in the diagnosis of MM, (8) electron microscopy in the diagnosis of MM, and (9) some caveats and pitfalls in the diagnosis of MM. Immunohistochemical panels are integral to the diagnosis of MM, but the exact makeup of panels employed is dependent on the differential diagnosis and on the antibodies available in a given laboratory. Depending on the morphology, immunohistochemical panels should contain both positive and negative markers for mesothelial differentiation and for lesions considered in the differential diagnosis. Immunohistochemical markers should have either sensitivity or specificity greater than 80% for the lesions in question. Interpretation of positivity generally should take into account the localization of the stain (eg, nuclear versus cytoplasmic) and the percentage of cells staining (>10% is suggested for cytoplasmic and membranous markers). Selected molecular markers are now being used to distinguish benign from malignant mesothelial proliferations. These guidelines are meant to be a practical diagnostic reference for the pathologist; however, some new pathologic predictors of prognosis and response to therapy are also included.","","","","","","","","","","","",431,455,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2018,142,1,"","","","",89,108,"","10.5858/arpa.2017-0124-RA","http://dx.doi.org/10.5858/arpa.2017-0124-RA","","","","","","Medical Laboratory Technology; Research & Experimental Medicine; Pathology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000423457800016","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Methods and materials: The American Society for Radiation Oncology convened a task force to perform a systematic literature review on 4 key questions addressing: (1) application of SBRT to operable patients; (2) appropriate use of SBRT in tumors that are centrally located, large, multifocal, or unbiopsied; (3) individual tailoring of SBRT in high-risk clinical scenarios; and (4) SBRT as salvage therapy after recurrence. Guideline recommendations were created using a predefined consensus-building methodology supported by American Society for Radiation Oncology-approved tools for grading evidence quality and recommendation strength. Results: Although few randomized trials have been completed for SBRT, strong consensus recommendations based on extensive, consistent publications were generated for several questions, including recommendations for fractionation for central tumors and surgery versus SBRT in standard-risk medically operable patients with early-stage NSCLC. Lower quality evidence led to conditional recommendations on use of SBRT for tumors >5 cm, patients with prior pneumonectomy, T3 tumors with chest wall invasion, synchronous multiple primary lung cancer, and as a salvage therapy after prior radiation therapy. These areas of moderate-and low-quality evidence highlight the importance of clinical trial enrollment as well as the role of prospective data registries. Conclusions: SBRT has an important role to play in treating early-stage NSCLC, particularly for medically inoperable patients with limited other treatment options. Shared decision-making with patients should be performed in all cases to ensure the patient understands the risks related to SBRT, the side effects, and the alternative treatments available.

Materials and Methods: This retrospective HIPAA-compliant study was approved by the local ethics committee, and written informed consent was obtained from all patients for use of their imaging and histopathologic data in future research studies. In 101 biopsy-naive patients with elevated prostate-specific antigen levels who underwent multiparametric MR imaging of the prostate and subsequent transrectal ultrasonography (US)-MR imaging fusion-guided biopsy, suspicious lesions detected at multiparametric MR imaging were scored by five readers who were blinded to pathologic results by using to the newly revised PI-RADS and the scoring system developed in-house. Interobserver agreement was evaluated by using k statistics, and the correlation of pathologic results with each of the two scoring systems was evaluated by using the Kendall T correlation coefficient. Results: Specimens of 162 lesions in 94 patients were sampled by means of transrectal US-MR imaging fusion biopsy. Results for 87 (54%) lesions were positive for prostate cancer. Kendall T values with the PI-RADS and the in-house-developed scoring system, respectively, at T2-weighted MR imaging in the peripheral zone were 0.51 and 0.17 and in the transitional zone, 0.45 and 20.11; at diffusion-weighted MR imaging, 0.42 and 0.28; at dynamic contrast material-enhanced MR imaging, 0.23 and 0.24, and overall suspicion scores were 0.42 and 0.49. Median k scores among all possible pairs of readers for PI-RADS and the in-house-developed scoring system, respectively, for T2-weighted MR images in the peripheral zone were 0.47 and 0.15; transitional zone, 0.37 and 0.07; diffusion-weighted MR imaging, 0.41 and 0.57; dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging, 0.48 and 0.41; and overall suspicion scores, 0.46 and 0.55.

Antibodies of the same epitope specificity but of a different subclass therefore can have different antibody effector functions. The study of IgG subclass profiles between different vaccine regimens used in clinical trials with divergent efficacy outcomes can provide information on the quality of the vaccine-induced B cell response. We show that HIV-1-specific IgG3 distinguished two HIV-1 vaccine efficacy studies (RV144 and VAX003 clinical trials) and correlated with decreased risk of HIV-1 infection in a blinded follow-up case-control study with the RV144 vaccine. HIV-1-specific IgG3 responses were not long-lived, which was consistent with the waning efficacy of the RV144 vaccine. These data suggest that specific vaccine-induced HIV-1 IgG3 should be tested in future studies of immune correlates in HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trials.","","","","","","","","","","","",382,435,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 19",2014,6,228,"","","","","","","228ra39","10.1126/scitranslmed.3007730","http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.3007730","","","","","","Cell Biology; Research & Experimental Medicine","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000333256000009","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

ACCELERATION EFFICIENCY","ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL","","","","Article","","","","","","","","We use two-dimensional and three-dimensional hybrid (kinetic ions-fluid electrons) simulations to investigate particle acceleration and magnetic field amplification at non-relativistic astrophysical shocks. We show that diffusive shock acceleration operates for quasi-parallel configurations (i.e., when the background magnetic field is almost aligned with the shock normal) and, for large sonic and Alfvenic Mach numbers, produces universal power-law spectra alpha p(-4) , where p is the particle momentum. The maximum energy of accelerated ions increases with time, and it is only limited by finite box size and run time. Acceleration is mainly efficient for parallel and quasi-parallel strong shocks, where 10%-20% of the bulk kinetic energy can be converted to energetic particles and becomes ineffective for quasi-perpendicular shocks. Also, the generation of magnetic turbulence correlates with efficient ion acceleration and vanishes for quasi-perpendicular configurations. At very oblique shocks, ions can be accelerated via shock drift acceleration, but they only gain a factor of a few in momentum and their maximum energy does not increase with time. These findings are consistent with the degree of polarization and the morphology of the radio and X-ray synchrotron emission observed, for instance, in the remnant of SN 1006. We also discuss the transition from thermal to non-thermal particles in the ion spectrum (supra-thermal region) and we identify two dynamical signatures peculiar of efficient particle acceleration, namely, the formation of an upstream precursor and the alteration of standard shock jump conditions.","","","","","","","","","","","",423,440,"","","","","","","","","","","MAR 10",2014,783,2,"","","","","","",91,"10.1088/0004-637X/783/2/91","http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0004-637X/783/2/91","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000335439900027","View Full Record in Web of Science"]
["J","Sellwood, JA","","","","Sellwood, J. A.","","","Secular evolution in disk galaxies","REVIEWS OF MODERN PHYSICS","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Disk galaxies evolve over time through processes that may rearrange both the radial mass profile and the metallicity distribution within the disk. This review of such slow changes is largely, though not entirely, restricted to internally driven processes that can be distinguished from evolution driven by galaxy interactions. It both describes our current understanding of disk evolution and identifies areas where more work is needed. Stellar disks are heated through spiral scattering, which increases random motion components in the plane, while molecular clouds redirect some fraction of the random energy into vertical motion. The recently discovered process of radial migration at the corotation resonance of a transient spiral mode does not alter the underlying structure of the disk, since it neither heats the disk nor causes it to spread, but it does have a profound effect on the expected distribution of metallicities among the disk stars. Bars in disks are believed to be major drivers of secular evolution through interactions with the outer disk and with the halo. Once the material that makes up galaxy disks is converted into stars, their overall angular momentum distribution cannot change by much, but that of the gas is generally far more liable to rearrangement, allowing rings and pseudobulges to form. While simulations are powerful tools from which we have learned a great deal, those of disks may suffer from collisional relaxation that requires some results to be interpreted with caution.","","","","","","","","","","","",261,278,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN 8",2014,86,1,"","","","",1,46,"","10.1103/RevModPhys.86.1","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/RevModPhys.86.1","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000332175300001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This study estimates premature deaths at ages 30-69 years and distinguishes these as deaths that are preventable (avertable through primary or secondary prevention) or treatable (avertable through curative treatment) in 185 countries worldwide. Methods For this population-based study, estimated cancer deaths by country, cancer, sex, and age groups were retrieved from the International Agency for Research on Cancer's GLOBOCAN 2020 database. Crude and age -adjusted cancer-specific years of life lost (YLLs) were calculated for 36 cancer types. Findings Of the estimated all-ages cancer burden of 265 center dot 6 million YLLs, 182 center dot 8 million (68 center dot 8%) YLLs were due to premature deaths from cancer globally in 2020, with 124 center dot 3 million (68 center dot 0%) preventable and 58 center dot 5 million (32 center dot 0%) treatable. Countries with low, medium, or high human development index (HDI) levels all had greater proportions of YLLs at premature ages than very high HDI countries (68 center dot 9%, 77 center dot 0%, and 72 center dot 2% vs 57 center dot 7%, respectively). Lung cancer was the leading contributor to preventable premature YLLs in medium to very high HDI countries (17 center dot 4% of all cancers, or 29 center dot 7 million of 171 center dot 3 million YLLs), whereas cervical cancer led in low HDI countries (26 center dot 3% of all preventable cancers, or 1 center dot 83 million of 6 center dot 93 million YLLs). Colorectal and breast cancers were major treatable cancers across all four tiers of HDI (25 center dot 5% of all treatable cancers in combination, or 14 center dot 9 million of 58 center dot 5 million YLLs). Interpretation Alongside tailored programmes of early diagnosis and screening linked to timely and comprehensive treatment, greater investments in risk factor reduction and vaccination are needed to address premature cancer inequalities.","","","","","","","","","","","",80,83,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2023,11,11,"","","","","E1700","E1712","","10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00406-0","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(23)00406-0","","OCT 2023","","","","Public, Environmental & Occupational Health","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001101427600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We compared the performance of ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Google Bard using questions from the Japan Radiology Board Examination (JRBE). Materials and methods In total, 103 questions from the JRBE 2022 were used with permission from the Japan Radiological Society. These questions were categorized by pattern, required level of thinking, and topic. McNemar's test was used to compare the proportion of correct responses between the LLMs. Fisher's exact test was used to assess the performance of GPT-4 for each topic category. Results ChatGPT, GPT-4, and Google Bard correctly answered 40.8% (42 of 103), 65.0% (67 of 103), and 38.8% (40 of 103) of the questions, respectively. GPT-4 significantly outperformed ChatGPT by 24.2% (p < 0.001) and Google Bard by 26.2% (p < 0.001). In the categorical analysis by level of thinking, GPT-4 correctly answered 79.7% of the lower-order questions, which was significantly higher than ChatGPT or Google Bard (p < 0.001). The categorical analysis by question pattern revealed GPT-4's superiority over ChatGPT (67.4% vs. 46.5%, p = 0.004) and Google Bard (39.5%, p < 0.001) in the single-answer questions. The categorical analysis by topic revealed that GPT-4 outperformed ChatGPT (40%, p = 0.013) and Google Bard (26.7%, p = 0.004). No significant differences were observed between the LLMs in the categories not mentioned above. The performance of GPT-4 was significantly better in nuclear medicine (93.3%) than in diagnostic radiology (55.8%; p < 0.001). GPT-4 also performed better on lower-order questions than on higher-order questions (79.7% vs. 45.5%, p < 0.001). Conclusion ChatGPTplus based on GPT-4 scored 65% when answering Japanese questions from the JRBE, outperforming ChatGPT and Google Bard.

SUMMARY ANSWER: International evidence-based guidelines address prioritized questions and outcomes and include 254 recommendations and practice points, to promote consistent, evidence-based care and improve the experience and health outcomes in PCOS. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: The 2018 International PCOS Guideline was independently evaluated as high quality and integrated multidisciplinary and consumer perspectives from six continents; it is now used in 196 countries and is widely cited. It was based on best available, but generally very low to low quality, evidence. It applied robust methodological processes and addressed shared priorities. The guideline transitioned from consensus based to evidence-based diagnostic criteria and enhanced accuracy of diagnosis, whilst promoting consistency of care. However, diagnosis is still delayed, the needs of those with PCOS are not being adequately met, evidence quality was low and evidence-practice gaps persist. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: The 2023 International Evidence-based Guideline update reengaged the 2018 network across professional societies and consumer organizations, with multidisciplinary experts and women with PCOS directly involved at all stages. Extensive evidence synthesis was completed. Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation-II (AGREEII)-compliant processes were followed. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework was applied across evidence quality, feasibility, acceptability, cost, implementation and ultimately recommendation strength and diversity and inclusion were considered throughout. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: This summary should be read in conjunction with the full Guideline for detailed participants and methods. Governance included a six-continent international advisory and management committee, five guideline development groups, and paediatric, consumer, and translation committees. Extensive consumer engagement and guideline experts informed the update scope and priorities. Engaged international society-nominated panels included paediatrics, endocrinology, gynaecology, primary care, reproductive endocrinology, obstetrics, psychiatry, psychology, dietetics, exercise physiology, obesity care, public health and other experts, alongside consumers, project management, evidence synthesis, statisticians and translation experts. Thirty-nine professional and consumer organizations covering 71 countries engaged in the process. Twenty meetings and five face-to-face forums over 12 months addressed 58 prioritized clinical questions involving 52 systematic and 3 narrative reviews. Evidence-based recommendations were developed and approved via consensus across five guideline panels, modified based on international feedback and peer review, independently reviewed for methodological rigour, and approved by the Australian Government National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: The evidence in the assessment and management of PCOS has generally improved in the past five years, but remains of low to moderate quality. The technical evidence report and analyses (similar to 6000 pages) underpins 77 evidence-based and 54 consensus recommendations, with 123 practice points. Key updates include: i) further refinement of individual diagnostic criteria, a simplified diagnostic algorithm and inclusion of anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels as an alternative to ultrasound in adults only; ii) strengthening recognition of broader features of PCOS including metabolic risk factors, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, very high prevalence of psychological features, and high risk status for adverse outcomes during pregnancy; iii) emphasizing the poorly recognized, diverse burden of disease and the need for greater healthcare professional education, evidence-based patient information, improved models of care and shared decision making to improve patient experience, alongside greater research; iv) maintained emphasis on healthy lifestyle, emotional wellbeing and quality of life, with awareness and consideration of weight stigma; and v) emphasizing evidence-based medical therapy and cheaper and safer fertility management. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Overall, recommendations are strengthened and evidence is improved, but remains generally low to moderate quality. Significantly greater research is now needed in this neglected, yet common condition. Regional health system variation was considered and acknowledged, with a further process for guideline and translation resource adaptation provided. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: The 2023 International Guideline for the Assessment and Management of PCOS provides clinicians and patients with clear advice on best practice, based on the best available evidence, expert multidisciplinary input and consumer preferences. Research recommendations have been generated and a comprehensive multifaceted dissemination and translation program supports the Guideline with an integrated evaluation program.","","","","","","","","","","","",73,76,"","","","","","","","","","","SEP 5",2023,38,9,"","","","",1655,1679,"","10.1093/humrep/dead156","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/humrep/dead156","","AUG 2023","","","","Obstetrics & Gynecology; Reproductive Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001163978600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Systemic therapy, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE), and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy are widely used in HCC patients with PVTT. This study aims to explore the efficacy of combining systemic therapy with transarterial-based therapy in HCC patients with PVTT. Materials and methods: The authors retrospectively reviewed data of HCC patients with PVTT treated with combination therapy (TACE-hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and PD-1 inhibitors) or TACE alone in SYSUCC from 2011 to 2020. The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival, and overall response rate were compared. Propensity score matching was used to minimize confounding bias. Results: A total of 743 HCC patients with PVTT received combination therapy (n = 139) or TACE alone (n= 604). After propensity score matching, the overall response rate was significantly higher in the combination group than in the TACE group [42.1% vs. 5.0%, P < 0.001 (response evaluation criteria in solid tumours); 53.7% vs. 7.8%, P < 0.001 (modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumours)]. The combination group showed significantly better OS than the TACE group (median OS not reached vs. 10.4 months, P < 0.001). The median progression-free survival of the combination and TACE groups was 14.8 and 2.3 months (P < 0.001), respectively. Tumour downstaging followed by salvage liver resection was significantly more common for the combination therapy group than for TACE group (46.3% vs. 4.5%, P < 0.001). After salvage liver resection, 31.6% (30/95) and 1.7% (3/179) of the patients achieved a pathological complete response in the combination and TACE groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The grade 3/4 adverse events rates were similar between the two groups (28.1% vs. 35.9%, P = 0.092). Conclusion: Compared with TACE alone, combination therapy was safe enough and resulted in survival benefits. This is a promising treatment option for HCC patients with PVTT.","","","","","","","","","","","",68,74,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2023,109,5,"","","","",1222,1230,"","10.1097/JS9.0000000000000256","http://dx.doi.org/10.1097/JS9.0000000000000256","","","","","","Surgery","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001023362600017","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of vitamin D on masticatory muscle activity among completely edentulous patients and its effect on the retention of removable complete dentures (RCDs). Materials and Methods: A non-randomized clinical control trial was conducted on completely edentulous patients (60.53 +/- 7.01 years) in the Indian population between 2017 and 2019. Subjects were evaluated for temporomandibular disorders according to the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD). Serum Vitamin D (S Vit D) levels, Ultrasonography (USG), and surface Electromyography (sEMG) readings of the masseter muscle were recorded at enrolment (Level 0), after 3 months of Vitamin D therapy (Level 3), and after consecutive 3 months of maintenance therapy, i.e., after 6 months from baseline (Level 6). The fabrication of new RCDs was done for all after the enrolment, and the retention of RCDs was assessed by asking a question regarding denture retention and asking respondents to mark their satisfaction on a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analysed using ANOVA, Paired'-test and Pearson correlation coefficients. A p-value less than 0.05 indicated a statistically significant association. Results: Between enrolment and a six-month follow-up, S Vit D levels showed an increase from 16.03 +/- 5.68 ng/mL to 31.35 +/- 9.28 ng/mL, showing an increase of 15.32 +/- 9.38 ng/mL (95.57% rise). Statistically significant values were observed for USG and sEMG. Conclusions: Results showed that S Vit D affects masticatory muscle activity by improving its thickness and boosting its tonicity. Healthy muscles assist in the retention of RCDs, consequently aiding in mastication, speech, and phonetics, hence improving patient satisfaction. Clinical implication: Acknowledging the fact that the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency is worldwide. We suggest Vitamin D therapy as a nutritional intervention among the elderly completely edentulous population, following dietary counselling, and consider Vitamin D therapy to be an adjunct to nutritional counselling for improving masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, which aids in RCD retention and stability. Consequently, improving oral health-related quality of life for individuals.","","","","","","","","","","","",58,58,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,59,2,"","","","","","",410,"10.3390/medicina59020410","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/medicina59020410","","","","","","General & Internal Medicine","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000940512200001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The LMFS is a recently developed meshless approach with the merits of being mathematically simple, numerically accurate, and requiring less com-puter time and storage. Compared with the traditional method of fundamental so-lutions (MFS) with a full interpolation matrix, the LMFS can obtain a sparse banded linear algebraic system, and can circumvent the perplexing issue of fictitious bound-ary encountered in the MFS for complex solution domains. In the LMFS, only circular or spherical fictitious boundary is involved. Based on these advantages, the method can be regarded as a competitive alternative to the standard method, especially for high-dimensional and large-scale problems. Three benchmark numerical examples are provided to verify the effectiveness and performance of the present method for the solution of car cavity acoustic problems with impedance conditions.","","","","","","","","","","","",21,21,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB",2023,15,1,"","","","",182,201,"","10.4208/aamm.OA-2021-0197","http://dx.doi.org/10.4208/aamm.OA-2021-0197","","","","","","Mathematics; Mechanics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000880390000007","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

In the last 15 years different ground-based spectroscopic surveys have been started (and completed) with the general aim of delivering stellar parameters and elemental abundances for large samples of Galactic stars, complementing Gaia astrometry. Among those surveys, the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey, the only one performed on a 8m class telescope, was designed to target 100 000 stars using FLAMES on the ESO VLT (both Giraffe and UVES spectrographs), covering all the Milky Way populations, with a special focus on open star clusters. Aims. This article provides an overview of the survey implementation (observations, data quality, analysis and its success, data products, and releases), of the open cluster survey, of the science results and potential, and of the survey legacy. A companion article reviews the overall survey motivation, strategy, Giraffe pipeline data reduction, organisation, and workflow. Methods. We made use of the information recorded and archived in the observing blocks; during the observing runs; in a number of relevant documents; in the spectra and master catalogue of spectra; in the parameters delivered by the analysis nodes and the working groups; in the final catalogue; and in the science papers. Based on these sources, we critically analyse and discuss the output and products of the Survey, including science highlights. We also determined the average metallicities of the open clusters observed as science targets and of a sample of clusters whose spectra were retrieved from the ESO archive. Results. The Gaia-ESO Survey has determined homogeneous good-quality radial velocities and stellar parameters for a large fraction of its more than 110 000 unique target stars. Elemental abundances were derived for up to 31 elements for targets observed with UVES. Lithium abundances are delivered for about 1/3 of the sample. The analysis and homogenisation strategies have proven to be successful; several science topics have been addressed by the Gaia-ESO consortium and the community, with many highlight results achieved. Conclusions. The final catalogue will be released through the ESO archive in the first half of 2022, including the complete set of advanced data products. In addition to these results, the Gaia-ESO Survey will leave a very important legacy, for several aspects and for many years to come.","","","","","","","","","","","",95,95,"","","","","","","","","","","OCT 18",2022,666,"","","","","","","","A121","10.1051/0004-6361/202243141","http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202243141","","","","","","Astronomy & Astrophysics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000869436900014","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

SUMMARY ANSWER The 22nd ESHRE report shows a continued increase in reported numbers of ART treatment cycles and children born in Europe, a decrease in transfers with more than one embryo with a further reduction of twin delivery rates (DRs) as compared to 2017, higher DRs per transfer after fresh IVF or ICSI cycles (without considering freeze-all cycles) than after frozen embryo transfer (FET) with higher pregnancy rates (PRs) after FET and the number of reported IUI cycles decreased while their PR and DR remained stable. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY ART aggregated data generated by national registries, clinics or professional societies have been gathered and analysed by the European IVF-monitoring Consortium (EIM) since 1997 and reported in 21 manuscripts published in Human Reproduction and Human Reproduction Open. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION Data on medically assisted reproduction (MAR) from European countries are collected by EIM for ESHRE on a yearly basis. The data on treatment cycles performed between 1 January and 31 December 2018 were provided by either national registries or registries based on initiatives of medical associations and scientific organizations or committed persons of 39 countries. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Overall, 1422 clinics offering ART services in 39 countries reported a total of more than 1 million (1 007 598) treatment cycles for the first time, including 162 837 with IVF, 400 375 with ICSI, 309 475 with FET, 48 294 with preimplantation genetic testing, 80 641 with egg donation (ED), 532 with IVM of oocytes and 5444 cycles with frozen oocyte replacement (FOR). A total of 1271 institutions reported data on IUI cycles using either husband/partner's semen (IUI-H; n = 148 143) or donor semen (IUI-D; n = 50 609) in 31 countries and 25 countries, respectively. Sixteen countries reported 20 994 interventions in pre- and post-pubertal patients for FP including oocyte, ovarian tissue, semen and testicular tissue banking. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE In 21 countries (21 in 2017) in which all ART clinics reported to the registry, 410 190 treatment cycles were registered for a total population of similar to 300 million inhabitants, allowing a best estimate of a mean of 1433 cycles performed per million inhabitants (range: 641-3549). Among the 39 reporting countries, for IVF, the clinical PR per aspiration slightly decreased while the PR per transfer remained similar compared to 2017 (25.5% and 34.1% in 2018 versus 26.8% and 34.3% in 2017). In ICSI, the corresponding rates showed similar evolutions in 2018 compared to 2017 (22.5% and 32.1% in 2018 versus 24.0% and 33.5% in 2017). When freeze-all cycles were not considered for the calculations, the clinical PRs per aspiration were 28.8% (29.4% in 2017) and 27.3% (27.3% in 2017) for IVF and ICSI, respectively. After FET with embryos originating from own eggs, the PR per thawing was 33.4% (versus 30.2% in 2017), and with embryos originating from donated eggs 41.8% (41.1% in 2017). After ED, the PR per fresh embryo transfer was 49.6% (49.2% in 2017) and per FOR 44.9% (43.3% in 2017). In IVF and ICSI together, the trend towards the transfer of fewer embryos continues with the transfer of 1, 2, 3 and >= 4 embryos in 50.7%, 45.1%, 3.9% and 0.3% of all treatments, respectively (corresponding to 46.0%, 49.2%. 4.5% and 0.3% in 2017). This resulted in a reduced proportion of twin DRs of 12.4% (14. 2% in 2017) and similar triplet DR of 0.2%. Treatments with FET in 2018 resulted in twin and triplet DRs of 9.4% and 0.1%, respectively (versus 11.2% and 0.2%, respectively in 2017). After IUI, the DRs remained similar at 8.8% after IUI-H (8.7% in 2017) and at 12.6% after IUI-D (12.4% in 2017). Twin and triplet DRs after IUI-H were 8.4% and 0.3%, respectively (in 2017: 8.1% and 0.3%), and 6.4% and 0.2% after IUI-D (in 2017: 6.9% and 0.2%). Among 20 994 FP interventions in 16 countries (18 888 in 13 countries in 2017), cryopreservation of ejaculated sperm (n = 10 503, versus 11 112 in 2017) and of oocytes (n = 9123 versus 6588 in 2017) were the most frequently reported. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The results should be interpreted with caution as data collection systems and completeness of reporting vary among European countries. Some countries were unable to deliver data about the number of initiated cycles and/or deliveries. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The 22nd ESHRE data collection on ART, IUI and FP interventions shows a continuous increase of reported treatment numbers and MAR-derived livebirths in Europe. Although it is the largest data collection on MAR in Europe, further efforts towards optimization of both the collection and reporting, with the aim of improving surveillance and vigilance in the field of reproductive medicine, are awaited. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S) The study has received no external funding and all costs are covered by ESHRE. There are no competing interests.","","","","","","","","","","","",159,164,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY 19",2022,2022,3,"","","","","","","hoac022","10.1093/hropen/hoac022","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/hropen/hoac022","","","","","","Obstetrics & Gynecology; Reproductive Biology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000820800100001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Now it has been proven that the quantum complexity of states evolving under random operations grows linearly in time. The complexity of quantum states has become a key quantity of interest across various subfields of physics, from quantum computing to the theory of black holes. The evolution of generic quantum systems can be modelled by considering a collection of qubits subjected to sequences of random unitary gates. Here we investigate how the complexity of these random quantum circuits increases by considering how to construct a unitary operation from Haar-random two-qubit quantum gates. Implementing the unitary operation exactly requires a minimal number of gates-this is the operation's exact circuit complexity. We prove a conjecture that this complexity grows linearly, before saturating when the number of applied gates reaches a threshold that grows exponentially with the number of qubits. Our proof overcomes difficulties in establishing lower bounds for the exact circuit complexity by combining differential topology and elementary algebraic geometry with an inductive construction of Clifford circuits.","","","","","","","","","","","",77,77,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2022,18,5,"","","","",528,"+","","10.1038/s41567-022-01539-6","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41567-022-01539-6","","MAR 2022","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000780463700002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Most data so far are based on electron beams with limited utility for human treatments. This study validates the effect of proton FLASH delivered with pencil beam scanning (PBS) in a mouse leg model of acute skin damage and quantifies the normal tissue sparing factor, the FLASH factor, through full dose response curves. Materials and methods: The right hind limb of CDF1 mice was irradiated with a single fraction of proton PBS in the entrance plateau of either a 244 MeV conventional dose rate field or a 250 MeV FLASH field. In total, 301 mice were irradiated in four separate experiments, with 7-21 mice per dose point. The end-points were the level of acute moist desquamation to the skin of the foot within 25 days post irradiation. Results: The field duration and field dose rate were 61-107 s and 0.35-0.40 Gy/s for conventional dose rate and 0.35-0.73 s and 65-92 Gy/s for FLASH. Full dose response curves for five levels of acute skin damage for both conventional and FLASH dose rate revealed a distinct normal tissue sparing effect with FLASH: across all scoring levels, a 44-58% higher dose was required to give the same biological response with FLASH as compared to the conventional dose rate. Conclusions: The normal tissue sparing effect of PBS proton FLASH was validated. The FLASH factor was quantified through full dose response curves. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Matrix nanocomposites (MNC) are high-performance materials with unique properties and design opportunities. These MNC materials are beneficial in a variety of applications, spanning from packaging to biomedical applications, due to their exceptional thermophysical properties. The present innovative study is the dispersion of polymeric/ceramic matrix nanocomposite material on magnetized hybrid nanofluids flow through the orthogonal porous coaxial disks is deliberated. Further, we also examined the numerically prominence of the permeability (A*) function consisting of the Permeable Reynold number associated with the expansion/contraction ratio. The morphological significant effects of these nanomaterials on flow and heat transfer characteristics are explored. The mathematical structure, as well as empirical relations for nanocomposite materials, are formulated as partial differential equations, which are then translated into ordinary differential expressions using appropriate variables. The Runge-Kutta and shooting methods are utilized to find the accurate numerical solution. Variations in skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number at the lower and upper walls of disks, as well as heat transfer rate measurements, are computed using important engineering physical factors. A comparison table and graph of effective nanolayer thermal conductivity (ENTC) and non-effective nanolayer thermal conductivity are presented. It is observed that the increment in nanolayer thickness (0.4-1.6), enhanced the ENTC and thermal phenomena. By the enhancement in hybrid nanoparticles volume fraction (2% to 6%), significant enhancement in Nusselt number is noticed. This novel work may be beneficial for nanotechnology and relevant nanocomponents.","","","","","","","","","","","",84,85,"","","","","","","","","","","",2022,8,1,"","","","",633,656,"","10.3934/math.2023030","http://dx.doi.org/10.3934/math.2023030","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000868702900006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, clinical laboratory metrics suggest key differences in these pathologies. We sought to determine whether plasma coagulation and fibrinolytic potential in patients with COVID-19 differ compared with healthy donors and critically ill patients with sepsis. Approach and Results: We performed comparative studies on plasmas from a single-center, cross-sectional observational study of 99 hospitalized patients (46 with COVID-19 and 53 with sepsis) and 18 healthy donors. We measured biomarkers of endogenous coagulation and fibrinolytic activity by immunoassays, thrombin, and plasmin generation potential by fluorescence and fibrin formation and lysis by turbidity. Compared with healthy donors, patients with COVID-19 or sepsis both had elevated fibrinogen, d-dimer, soluble TM (thrombomodulin), and plasmin-antiplasmin complexes. Patients with COVID-19 had increased thrombin generation potential despite prophylactic anticoagulation, whereas patients with sepsis did not. Plasma from patients with COVID-19 also had increased endogenous plasmin potential, whereas patients with sepsis showed delayed plasmin generation. The collective perturbations in plasma thrombin and plasmin generation permitted enhanced fibrin formation in both COVID-19 and sepsis. Unexpectedly, the lag times to thrombin, plasmin, and fibrin formation were prolonged with increased disease severity in COVID-19, suggesting a loss of coagulation-initiating mechanisms accompanies severe COVID-19. Conclusions: Both COVID-19 and sepsis are associated with endogenous activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, but these diseases differently impact plasma procoagulant and fibrinolytic potential. Dysregulation of procoagulant and fibrinolytic pathways may uniquely contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and sepsis.","","","","","","","","","","","",102,108,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2021,41,1,"","","","",401,414,"","10.1161/ATVBAHA.120.315338","http://dx.doi.org/10.1161/ATVBAHA.120.315338","","","","","","Hematology; Cardiovascular System & Cardiology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000610835300045","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and Methods: This study used data from a large health system in NYC -the epicenter of the US crisis - to describe characteristics of patients seeking COVID-related care via telehealth, ER, or office encounters during the peak pandemic period. Using multinomial logistic regression, we estimated the magnitude of the relationship between patient characteristics and the odds of having a first encounter via telehealth versus ER or office visit, and then used regression parameter estimates to predict patients' probabilities of using different encounter types given their characteristics. Results: Demographic factors, including race/ethnicity and age, were significantly predictive of telehealth use. As compared to Whites, Blacks had higher adjusted odds of using both the ER versus telehealth (OR: 4.3, 95% CI: 4.0-4.6) and office visits versus telehealth (OR: 1.4, 95% CI: 1.3-1.5). For Hispanics versus Whites, the analogous ORs were 2.5 (95% CI: 2.3-2.7) and 1.2 (95% CI: 1.1-1.3). Compared to any age groups, patients 65+ had significantly higher odds of using either ER or office visits versus telehealth. Conclusions: The response to COVID-19 has involved an unprecedented expansion in telehealth. While older Americans and minority populations among others are known to be disadvantaged by the digital divide, few studies have examined disparities in telehealth specifically, and none during COVID-19. Additional research into sociodemographic heterogeneity in telehealth use is needed to prevent potentially further exacerbating health disparities overall.","","","","","","","","","","","",121,126,"","","","","","","","","","","DEC",2020,27,12,"","","","",1949,1954,"","10.1093/jamia/ocaa216","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jamia/ocaa216","","","","","","Computer Science; Health Care Sciences & Services; Information Science & Library Science; Medical Informatics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000606832500015","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The guideline authors decided to proceed with publication but to update the decompressive craniectomy recommendations later in the spirit of living guidelines, whereby topics are updated more frequently, and between new editions, when important new evidence is published. The update to the decompressive craniectomy chapter presented here integrates the findings of the RESCUEicp study as well as the recently published 12-mo outcome data from the DECRA (Decompressive Craniectomy in Patients With Severe Traumatic Brain Injury) trial. Incorporation of these publications into the body of evidence led to the generation of 3 new level-IIA recommendations; a fourth previously presented level-IIA recommendation remains valid and has been restated. To increase the utility of the recommendations, we added a new section entitled incorporating the Evidence into Practice. This summary of expert opinion provides important context and addresses key issues for practitioners, which are intended to help the clinician utilize the available evidence and these recommendations.

Purpose: To perform a longitudinal study to analyze the serial CT findings over time in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia. Materials and Methods: During January 16 to February 17, 2020, 90 patients (33 men, 57 women; mean age, 45 years) with COVID-19 pneumonia were prospectively enrolled and followed up until being discharged, death, or the end of the study. A total of 366 CT scans were acquired and reviewed by two groups of radiologists for the patterns and distribution of lung abnormalities,total CT scores, and number of zones involved. Those features were analyzed for temporal change. Results: CT scores and number of zones involved progressed rapidly, peaked during illness days 6-11 (median CT score, 5; median number of zones involved, five), and were followed by persistence of high levels. The predominant pattern of abnormalities after symptom onset was ground-glass opacity (35 of 78 scans [45%] to 49 of 79 scans [62%] in different periods). The percentage of mixed pattern peaked on illness days 12-17 (30 of 78 scans [38%]) and became the second most predominant pattern thereafter.Pure ground-glass opacity was the most prevalent subtype of ground-glass opacity after symptom onset (20 of 50 scans [40%] to 20 of 28 scans [71%]). The percentage of ground-glass opacity with irregular linear opacity peaked on illness days 6-11 (14 of 50 scans [28%]) and became the second most prevalent subtype thereafter. The distribution of lesions was predominantly bilateral and subpleural. Sixty-six of the 70 patients discharged (94%) had residual disease on final CT scans (median CT score, 4; median number of zones involved, four), with ground-glass opacity (42 of 70 patients [60%]) and pure ground-glass opacity (31 of 42 patients[74%]) the most common pattern and subtype. Conclusion: The extent of lung abnormalities at CT peaked during illness days 6-11. The temporal changes of the diverse CT manifestations followed a specific pattern, which might indicate the progression and recovery of the illness.

AU Mic possesses a relatively rare(2) and spatially resolved(3) edge-on debris disk extending from about 35 to 210 astronomical units from the star(4), and with clumps exhibiting non-Keplerian motion(5-7). Detection of newly formed planets around such a star is challenged by the presence of spots, plage, flares and other manifestations of magnetic 'activity' on the star(8,9). Here we report observations of a planet transiting AU Mic. The transiting planet, AU Mic b, has an orbital period of 8.46 days, an orbital distance of 0.07 astronomical units, a radius of 0.4 Jupiter radii, and a mass of less than 0.18 Jupiter masses at 3 sigma confidence. Our observations of a planet co-existing with a debris disk offer the opportunity to test the predictions of current models of planet formation and evolution.","","","","","","","","","","","",178,192,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 25",2020,582,7813,"","","","",497,"+","","10.1038/s41586-020-2400-z","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2400-z","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000585012000003","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

DESIGN Prospective cohort study alongside individual participant meta-analysis of other cohort studies. SETTING United Kingdom. PARTICIPANTS Analytical sample of 499 701 people (response rate 5.5%) in analyses in UK Biobank; pooled data from the Health Surveys for England (HSE) and the Scottish Health Surveys (SHS), including 18 studies and 89 895 people (mean response rate 68%). Both study populations were linked to the same nationwide mortality registries, and the baseline age range was aligned at 40-69 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Death from cardiovascular disease, selected malignancies, and suicide. To quantify the difference between hazard ratios in the two studies, a ratio of the hazard ratios was used with HSE-SHS as the referent. RESULTS Risk factor levels and mortality rates were typically more favourable in UK Biobank participants relative to the HSE-SHS consortium. For the associations between risk factors and mortality endpoints, however, close agreement was seen between studies. Based on 14 288 deaths during an average of 7.0 years of follow-up in UK Biobank and 7861 deaths over 10 years of mortality surveillance in HSE-SHS, for cardiovascular disease mortality, for instance, the age and sex adjusted hazard ratio for ever having smoked cigarettes (versus never) was 2.04 (95% confidence interval 1.87 to 2.24) in UK Biobank and 1.99 (1.78 to 2.23) in HSE-SHS, yielding a ratio of hazard ratios close to unity (1.02, 0.88 to 1.19). The overall pattern of agreement between studies was essentially unchanged when results were compared separately by sex and when baseline years and censoring dates were aligned. CONCLUSION Despite a very low response rate, risk factor associations in the UK Biobank seem to be generalisable.","","","","","","","","","","","",418,420,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 12",2020,368,"","","","","","","","m131","10.1136/bmj.m131","http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmj.m131","","","","","","General & Internal Medicine","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000514099200002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]
["J","Huser, R; Wadsworth, JL","","","","Huser, Raphael; Wadsworth, Jennifer L.","","","Modeling Spatial Processes with Unknown Extremal Dependence Class","JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION","","","","Article","","","","","","","","Many environmental processes exhibit weakening spatial dependence as events become more extreme. Well-known limiting models, such as max-stable or generalized Pareto processes, cannot capture this, which can lead to a preference for models that exhibit a property known as asymptotic independence. However, weakening dependence does not automatically imply asymptotic independence, and whether the process is truly asymptotically (in)dependent is usually far from clear. The distinction is key as it can have a large impact upon extrapolation, that is, the estimated probabilities of events more extreme than those observed. In this work, we present a single spatial model that is able to capture both dependence classes in a parsimonious manner, and with a smooth transition between the two cases. The model covers a wide range of possibilities from asymptotic independence through to complete dependence, and permits weakening dependence of extremes even under asymptotic dependence. Censored likelihood-based inference for the implied copula is feasible in moderate dimensions due to closed-form margins. The model is applied to oceanographic datasets with ambiguous true limiting dependence structure.

Two quantum error mitigation (QEM) techniques have been introduced recently, namely, error extrapolation [Y. Li and S. C. Benjamin, Phys. Rev. X 7, 021050 (2017); K. Temme et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 180509 (2017)] and quasiprobability decomposition [K. Temme et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 180509 (2017)]. To enable practical implementation of these ideas, here we account for the inevitable imperfections in the experimentalist's knowledge of the error model itself. We describe a protocol for systematically measuring the effect of errors so as to design efficient QEM circuits. We find that the effect of localized Markovian errors can be fully eliminated by inserting or replacing some gates with certain single-qubit Clifford gates and measurements. Finally, having introduced an exponential variant of the extrapolation method we contrast the QEM techniques using exact numerical simulation of up to 19 qubits in the context of a SWAP test circuit. Our optimized methods dramatically reduce the circuit's output error without increasing the qubit count.","","","","","","","","","","","",476,517,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 26",2018,8,3,"","","","","","",31027,"10.1103/PhysRevX.8.031027","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevX.8.031027","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000439794300002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

How the single-nephron GFR relates to demographic and clinical characteristics and kidney-biopsy findings in humans is unknown. METHODS We identified 1388 living kidney donors at the Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic who underwent a computed tomographic (CT) scan of the kidney with the use of contrast material and an iothalamate-based measurement of the GFR during donor evaluation and who underwent a kidney biopsy at donation. The mean single-nephron GFR was calculated as the GFR divided by the number of nephrons (calculated as the cortical volume of both kidneys as assessed on CT times the biopsy-determined glomerular density). Demographic and clinical characteristics and biopsy findings were correlated with the single-nephron GFR. RESULTS A total of 58% of the donors were women, and the mean (+/- SD) age of the donors was 44 +/- 12 years. The mean GFR was 115 +/- 24 ml per minute, the mean number of nephrons was 860,000 +/- 370,000 per kidney, and the mean single-nephron GFR was 80 +/- 40 nl per minute. The single-nephron GFR did not vary significantly according to age (among donors <70 years of age), sex, or height (among donors <= 190 cm tall). A higher single-nephron GFR was independently associated with larger nephrons on biopsy and more glomerulosclerosis and arteriosclerosis than would be expected for age. A higher single-nephron GFR was associated with a height of more than 190 cm, obesity, and a family history of end-stage renal disease. CONCLUSIONS Among healthy adult kidney donors, the single-nephron GFR was fairly constant with regard to age, sex, and height (if <= 190 cm). A higher single-nephron GFR was associated with certain risk factors for chronic kidney disease and certain kidneybiopsy findings.

For large (and even moderate) dimensions, the number of the AR coefficients can be prohibitively large, resulting in noisy estimates, unstable predictions, and difficult-to-interpret temporal dependence. To overcome such drawbacks, we propose a two-stage approach for fitting sparse VAR (sVAR) models in which many of the AR coefficients are zero. The first stage selects nonzero AR coefficients based on an estimate of the partial spectral coherence (PSC) together with the use of BIC. The PSC is useful for quantifying the conditional relationship between marginal series in a multivariate process. A refinement second stage is then applied to further reduce the number of parameters. The performance of this two-stage approach is illustrated with simulation and real data examples.

In this single-institution study, we investigated the safety and efficacy of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for patients with melanoma brain metastases (BMs) who also received Ipi. Methods and Materials: From 2005 to 2011, 46 patients with melanoma received Ipi and underwent single-fraction SRS for BMs. A total of 113 BMs (91% intact, 9% postoperative) were treated with a median dose of 21 Gy (range, 15-24 Gy). Ipi was given at 3 mg/kg (54%) or 10 mg/kg (46%) for a median of 4 doses (range, 1-21). Adverse events were recorded with the use of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 3.0. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate survival, and Cox regression was used to investigate associations. Results: Fifteen patients received SRS during Ipi, 19 received SRS before Ipi, and 12 received SRS after Ipi. Overall survival (OS) was significantly associated with the timing of SRS/Ipi (P=.035) and melanoma-specific graded prognostic assessment (P=.013). Patients treated with SRS during or before Ipi had better OS and less regional recurrence than did those treated with SRS after Ipi (1-year OS 65% vs 56% vs 40%, P=.008; 1-year regional recurrence 69% vs 64% vs 92%, P=.003). SRS during Ipi also yielded a trend toward less local recurrence than did SRS before or after Ipi (1-year local recurrence 0% vs 13% vs 11%, P=. 21). On magnetic resonance imaging, an increase in BM diameter to > 150% was seen in 50% of patients treated during or before Ipi but in only 13% of patients treated after Ipi. Grade 3 to 4 toxicities were seen in 20% of patients. Conclusion: Overall, the combination of Ipi and SRS appears to be well tolerated. Concurrent delivery of Ipi and SRS is associated with favorable locoregional control and possibly longer survival. It may also cause a temporary increase in tumor size, possibly because of an enhanced immunomodulatory effect. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

The modulus of elasticity is taken as a linear function of the reference temperature. The resulting formulation in the context of Green and Naghdi model II is applied to a half-space subjected to a time-dependent heat source and traction free surface. The normal mode analysis and eigenvalue approach techniques are used to solve the resulting non-dimensional coupled equations. Numerical results for the field quantities are given in the physical domain and illustrated graphically. The results are also compared to results obtained in the case of temperature-independent modulus of elasticity. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Design, settings and participantsThis secondary analysis included 1267 opioid-dependent individuals participating in nine opioid treatment programs between 2006 and 2009 and randomized to receive open-label BUP or MET for 24 weeks. MeasurementsThe analyses included measures of patient characteristics at baseline (demographics; use of alcohol, cigarettes and illicit drugs; self-rated mental and physical health), medication dose and urine drug screens during treatment, and treatment completion and days in treatment during the 24-week trial. FindingsThe treatment completion rate was 74% for MET versus 46% for BUP (P<0.01); the rate among MET participants increased to 80% when the maximum MET dose reached or exceeded 60mg/day. With BUP, the completion rate increased linearly with higher doses, reaching 60% with doses of 30-32mg/day. Of those remaining in treatment, positive opioid urine results were significantly lower [odds ratio (OR)=0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.52-0.76, P<0.01] among BUP relative to MET participants during the first 9 weeks of treatment. Higher medication dose was related to lower opiate use, more so among BUP patients. A Cox proportional hazards model revealed factors associated with dropout: (i) BUP [versus MET, hazard ratio (HR)=1.61, CI=1.20-2.15], (ii) lower medication dose (<16mg for BUP, <60mg for MET; HR=3.09, CI=2.19-4.37), (iii) the interaction of dose and treatment condition (those with higher BUP dose were 1.04 times more likely to drop out than those with lower MET dose, and (iv) being younger, Hispanic and using heroin or other substances during treatment. ConclusionsProvision of methadone appears to be associated with better retention in treatment for opioid dependence than buprenorphine, as does use of provision of higher doses of both medications. Provision of buprenorphine is associated with lower continued use of illicit opioids.","","","","","","","","","","","",342,367,"","","","","","","","","","","JAN",2014,109,1,"","","","",79,87,"","10.1111/add.12333","http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/add.12333","","","","","","Substance Abuse; Psychiatry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000328157300012","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

This study presents the crystal structure, acid site, acid strength, proton siting, and IR spectra of HSAPO-34 from the SCAN + rVV10 method. The results indicate: the crystal structures of various acid sites of HSAPO-34 deviate from the space group of R3 over bar ; the acid strength inferred from the DPE value likely decreases with the proton binding sites at O(2), O(4), O(1),and O(3), contrary to the stability order in view of the internal energy; the calculated ensemble-averaged DPE is about 1525 kJ/mol at 673.15 K; and the proton siting and the proton distribution are distinctly influenced by the temperature: at low temperatures, the proton is predominantly located at O(3), while it prefers O(2) at high temperatures, and the proton at O(4) assumedly has the least distribution at 273.15-773.15 K. In line with the neutron diffraction experiment, a correction factor of 0.979 is needed to correct for the calculated hydroxyl stretching vibration (nu(O-H)) of HSAPO-34.

It can be challenging to perform a power analysis for interactions with existing software, particularly when variables are correlated and continuous. Moreover, although power is affected by main effects, their correlation, and variable reliability, it can be unclear how to incorporate these effects into a power analysis. The R package InteractionPoweR and associated Shiny apps allow researchers with minimal or no programming experience to perform analytic and simulation-based power analyses for interactions. At minimum, these analyses require the Pearson's correlation between variables and sample size, and additional parameters, including reliability and the number of discrete levels that a variable takes (e.g., binary or Likert scale), can optionally be specified. In this tutorial, we demonstrate how to perform power analyses using our package and give examples of how power can be affected by main effects, correlations between main effects, reliability, and variable distributions. We also include a brief discussion of how researchers may select an appropriate interaction effect size when performing a power analysis.","","","","","","","","","","","",59,60,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL",2023,6,3,"","","","","","",2.5152459231187532e+16,"10.1177/25152459231187531","http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/25152459231187531","","","","","","Psychology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:001072473600001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The purpose of this research is to use large-scale clinical data to discuss and compare the predictive ability of the SII, SIRI, NHR, LHR, MHR, and PHR in patients with schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD), to investigate potential biomarkers. Materials and methodsIn this retrospective, naturalistic, cross-sectional study, we collected the hematological parameter data of 13,329 patients with SCZ, 4,061 patients with BD manic episodes (BD-M), and 1,944 patients with BD depressive episodes (BD-D), and 5,810 healthy subjects served as the healthy control (HC) group. The differences in the SII, SIRI, NHR, LHR, MHR, and PHR were analyzed, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic potential of these parameters. ResultsCompared with the HC group, the values of the SII, SIRI, NHR, LHR, MHR, and PHR and the levels of neutrophils, monocytes, and triglycerides (TG) were higher in SCZ and BD groups, and levels of platelets, cholesterol (CHO), HDL, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and apoprotein B (Apo B) were lower in SCZ and BD groups. Compared to the BD group, the values of the SIRI, lymphocytes, monocytes, and HDL were lower and the values of the SII, NHR, PHR, and platelet were higher in the SCZ group. In contrast to the BD-D group, the values of the SII; SIRI; NHR; and MHR; and levels of neutrophils, monocytes, and platelets were higher in the BD-M group, and the levels of CHO, TG, LDL, and Apo B were lower in the BD-M group. The MHR and NHR were predictors for differentiating the SCZ group from the HC group; the SIRI, NHR, and MHR were predictors for differentiating the BD-M group from the HC group; and the MHR was a predictor for differentiating the BD-D group from the HC group. The combination model of the indicators improved diagnostic effectiveness. ConclusionOur study highlights the role of systemic inflammation in the pathophysiology of SCZ, BD-M, and BD-D, the association between inflammation and lipid metabolism, and these inflammation and lipid metabolism indicators showed different variation patterns in SCZ, BD-D, and BD-M.","","","","","","","","","","","",47,48,"","","","","","","","","","","JUL 26",2022,13,"","","","","","","",941728,"10.3389/fpsyt.2022.941728","http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.941728","","","","","","Psychiatry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000838286700001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Upon the heat treatment, the collagen content of the fish scale got transformed into gelatin which in turn converted the precursor material into CuO NPs. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the formation of CuO NPs and revealed the structure to be of monoclinic lattice. The structural parameters i.e. crystallite size, lattice parameters, microstrain, dislocation density was evaluated for the synthesized CuO NPs using the XRD data. Scherrer's Method (SM), Scherrer Equation Average Method (SEAM), Linear Straight Line Method (LSLM), Straight Line Passing the Origin Method (SLPOM), Monshi Scherrer Method (MSM), Williamson-Hall Method (WHM), Size-Strain Plot Method (SSPM), Halder-Wagner Method (HWM) was exploited for the estimation of crystallite size. According to the calculations, the crystallite size was found to be 87 nm, 41 nm, 1980 nm, 62 nm, 66 nm, 28 nm, 13 nm, 13 nm respectively and the dislocation density was found to be 1.32 x 10(-4), 5.95 x 10(-4), 0.002 x 10(-4), 2.60 x 10(-4), 2.29 x 10(-4), 12.75 x 10(-4), 59.17 x 10(-4) and 59.17 x 10(-4) respectively. UV-Vis absorption analysis also confirmed the formation of CuO NPs based on the absorption peak at 262 nm (lambda(max)) and Tauc Plot method was used to calculate the optical band gap which was 3.84 eV. Functional group, especially the Cu-O bonding was confirmed by the Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) data. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) showed three different shapes of CuO NPs which was also confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Particle size was determined based on FESEM and TEM image using imageJ software and also by the Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) technique. Thermal analysis showed a four stage weight loss in case of Thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis and three conversion steps was observed in Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) analysis. Such synthesis pathway is evidently green and facile for synthesizing CuO NPs with potentiality of various applications and also utilization of waste fish scale is a perquisite.

Methods: A prevalence-based and human capital approach was used to estimate the total excess costs of PTSD in 2018 from insurance claims data, academic literature, and governmental publications. Excess direct health care costs (pharmacy, medical), direct non-health care costs (research and training, substance use, psychotherapy, homelessness, disability), and indirect costs (unemployment, productivity loss, caregiving, premature mortality) associated with PTSD were compared between adults with PTSD and adults without PTSD, or the general population if information was not available for adults without PTSD. Results: The total excess economic burden of PTSD in the US was estimated at $232.2 billion for 2018 ($19,630 per individual with PTSD). Total excess costs were $189.5 billion (81.6%) in the civilian population and $42.7 billion (18.4%) in the military population, corresponding to $18,640 and $25,684 per individual with PTSD in the civilian and military populations, respectively. In the civilian population, the excess burden was driven by direct health care ($66.0 billion) and unemployment ($42.7 billion) costs. In the military population, the excess burden was driven by disability ($17.8 billion) and direct health care ($10.1 billion) costs. Conclusions: The economic burden of PTSD goes beyond direct health care costs and has been found to rival costs for other costly mental health conditions. Increased awareness of PTSD, development of more effective therapies, and expansion of evidence-based interventions may be warranted to reduce the large clinical and economic burden of PTSD.","","","","","","","","","","","",97,112,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY-JUN",2022,83,3,"","","","","","","21m14116","10.4088/JCP.21m14116","http://dx.doi.org/10.4088/JCP.21m14116","","","","","","Psychology; Psychiatry","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000823629800006","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The bending and buckling behaviors of FG-GRNC laminated nanoplates are investigated by using novel quasi-3D hyperbolic higher order shear deformation plate theory in conjunction with modified continuum nonlocal strain gradient theory, which considered both length and material scale parameters. The modified model of Halpin-Tsai is employed to calculate the effective Young's modulus of the GRNC plate along the thickness direction, and Poisson's ratio and mass density are computed by using the rule of mixture. An analytical approach of the Galerkin method is developed to solve governing equilibrium equations of the GRNC nanoplate and obtain closed-form solutions for bending deflection, stress distributions and critical buckling loads. A detailed parametric analysis is carried out to highlight influences of length scale parameter (nonlocal), material scale parameter (gradient), distribution pattern, the GPL weight fraction, thickness stretching, geometry and size of GPLs, geometry of the plate and the total number of layers on the stresses, deformation and critical buckling loads. Some details are studied exclusively for the first time, such as stresses and nonlocality effect.","","","","","","","","","","","",30,30,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2022,10,8,"","","","","","",1321,"10.3390/math10081321","http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/math10081321","","","","","","Mathematics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000785387000001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, due to massive logistical and financial challenges and taxonomic difficulties connected to the species concept definition, the global numbers of species, including those of important and well-studied life forms such as trees, still remain largely unknown. Here, based on global groundsourced data, we estimate the total tree species richness at global, continental, and biome levels. Our results indicate that there are similar to 73,000 tree species globally, among which similar to 9,000 tree species are yet to be discovered. Roughly 40% of undiscovered tree species are in South America. Moreover, almost one-third of all tree species to be discovered may be rare, with very low populations and limited spatial distribution (likely in remote tropical lowlands and mountains). These findings highlight the vulnerability of global forest biodiversity to anthropogenic changes in land use and climate, which disproportionately threaten rare species and thus, global tree richness.","","","","","","","","","","","",126,128,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 8",2022,119,6,"","","","","","","e2115329119","10.1073/pnas.2115329119","http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2115329119","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000758488400010","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The plant extract of Conocarpus Lancifolius fruits was used to synthesize silver nanoparticles in the current study, and it was further employed as an antimicrobial and anticancer agent. Nanoparticles have been characterized by UV-visible spectrometer revealed the notable peak of kmax = 410-442 nm, which confirms the reduction of silver ion to elemental silver nanoparticles, and the biological moieties in the synthesis were further confirmed by FTIR analysis. The stability and crystalline nature of materials were approved by XRD analysis and expected the size of the nanomaterials of 21 to 173 nm analyzed by a nanophox particle-size analyzer. In vitro, synthesized materials act as an antibacterial agent against Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus. The inhibition zones of 18 and 24 mm have been estimated to be antibacterial activity against both bacteria. The potency of up to 100% of AgNPs for bacterial strains was incubated overnight at 60 lg/ml. Based on our results, biogenic AgNPs reveal significant activity against fungal pathogen Rhizopusus stolonifera and Aspergillus flavus that cause leading infectious diseases. Additionally, nanomaterials were biocompatible and demonstrated the potential anticancer activities against MDA MB-231 cells after 24-hour exposure. (c) 2021 The Authors.

Materials and Methods Incidence, survival, and prevalence rates of cancer were calculated using the Korea National Cancer Incidence Database, from 1999 to 2018, with survival follow-up until December 31, 2019. Deaths from cancer were assessed using causes-of-death data obtained from Statistics Korea. Crude and age-standardized rates (ASRs) for incidence, mortality, prevalence, and 5-year relative survival rates were calculated, and temporal trends for incidence and mortality rates were evaluated, with annual percentage changes. Results In 2018, newly diagnosed cancer cases and deaths from cancer were reported as 243,837 (ASR, 270.4 per 100,000) and 79,153 (ASR, 73.3 per 100,000), respectively. The overall cancer incidence rates increased by 3.3% annually from 1999 to 2012, and decreased by 5.4% annually from 2012 to 2015, thereafter, followed by nonsignificant changes. Cancer mortality rates have been decreasing since 2002, with more rapid decline in recent years (annual decrease of 2.7% from 2007 to 2014; 3.7% from 2014 to 2018). The 5-year relative survival between 2014 and 2018 was 70.3%, which contributed to prevalent cases reaching over 2 million by the end of 2018. Conclusion Cancer statistics have improved significantly during the past two decades. However, there remain important challenges to be solved, such as controlling cancers with low survival rates. Cancer statistics can be used to discover blind spots in cancer control, and as evidence for developing and implementing future cancer control strategies.","","","","","","","","","","","",229,233,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2021,53,2,"","","","",301,315,"","10.4143/crt.2021.291","http://dx.doi.org/10.4143/crt.2021.291","","","","","","Oncology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000647178100002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

It was modeled to investigate its output characteristics under AM 1.5G illumination. Simulation efforts are focused on the thickness, acceptor concentration and defect density of absorber layer on photovoltaic properties of solar cell device. In addition, the impact of various metal contact work function was also investigated. The simulation results indicate that an absorber thickness of 500 nm is appropriate for a good photovoltaic cell. Oxidation of Sn2+ into Sn4+ was considered and it is found that the reduction of acceptor concentration of absorber layer significantly improves the device performance. Further, optimizing the defect density (10(14) cm(-3)) of the perovskite absorber layer, encouraging results of the J(sc) of 40.14 mA/cm(2), V-oc of 0.93 V, FF of 75.78% and PCE of 28.39% were achieved. Finally, an anode material with a high work function is necessary to get the device's better performance. The high-power conversion efficiency opens a new avenue for attaining clean energy.","","","","","","","","","","","",199,202,"","","","","","","","","","","FEB 4",2021,11,1,"","","","","","",3082,"10.1038/s41598-021-82817-w","http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-82817-w","","","","","","Science & Technology - Other Topics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000618049600040","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We sought to identify risk factors for CRC in this population. METHODS: We compared sociodemographic and medical characteristics of patients who received a diagnosis of CRC at an age of 18-49 years (early-onset) with patients who received a diagnosis of CRC at an age of 50 years or older (late-onset) and with age-matched, cancer-free individuals (controls) at a tertiary academic hospital. We collected data from all adult patients with a diagnosis of CRC from January 1, 2011 through April 3, 2017 from electronic health records. Associations with risk factors were assessed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS: We identified 269 patients with early-onset CRC, 2802 with late-onset CRC, and 1122 controls. Compared with controls, patients with early-onset CRC were more likely to be male (odds ratio [OR], 1.87; 95% CI, 1.39-2.51), have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (3% vs 0.4% for controls; univariable P < .01), and have a family history of CRC (OR, 8.61; CI, 4.83-15.75). Prevalence values of well-established modifiable CRC risk factors, including obesity, smoking, and diabetes, were similar. Compared to patients with late-onset CRC, patients with early-onset CRC were more likely to be male (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.11-1.87), black (OR, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.08-2.65) or Asian (OR, 2.60; 95% CI, 1.57-4.15), and have IBD (OR, 2.97; 95% CI, 1.16-6.63) or a family history of CRC (OR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.89-4.25). Sensitivity analyses excluding IBD and family history of CRC showed comparable results. Early-onset CRC was more likely than late-onset disease to be detected in the left colon or rectum (75% vs 59%, P = .02) and at a late stage of tumor development (77% vs 62%, P = .01). CONCLUSIONS: In a retrospective study of patients with early-onset CRC vs late-onset CRC or no cancer, we identified non-modifiable risk factors, including sex, race, IBD, and family history of CRC, to be associated with early-onset CRC.","","","","","","","","","","","",176,184,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV",2020,18,12,"","","","",2752,"+","","10.1016/j.cgh.2019.10.009","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cgh.2019.10.009","","","","","","Gastroenterology & Hepatology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000580660700024","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

However, pulmonary and extrapulmonary sequelae of COVID-19 after recovery from the acute disease are unknown. Material and methods: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients not requiring mechanical ventilation were included and followed 6 weeks after discharge. Body plethysmography, lung diffusion capacity (DLco), blood gas analysis (ABG), 6-min walk test (6MWT), echocardiography, and laboratory tests were performed. Quality of life (QoL), depression, and anxiety were assessed using validated questionnaires. Results: 33 patients with severe disease were included. Patients were discharged without prophylactic anti-coagulation. At follow-up there were no thromboembolic complications in any patient. 11 patients (33%) had dyspnea, 11 (33%) had cough, and 15 (45%) suffered from symptoms of fatigue. Pulmonary function tests including ABG did not reveal any limitations (TLC: median=94% of predicted {IQR:85-105}; VC: 93% {78-101}; FEV1: 95% {72-103}; FEV1/FVC 79% {76-85}; PaO2: 72 mmHg {67-79}; PaCO2: 38 mmHg {35-38}), except for slightly reduced DLco (77% {69-95}). There were no echocardiographic impairments. 6MWT distance was reduced in most patients without oxygen desaturation. According to standardized questionnaires, patients suffered from reduced QoL, mainly due to decreased mobility (SGRQ activity score: 54 {19-78}). There were no indicators for depression or anxiety (PHQ-9: 7 {4-11}, GAD-7: 4 {1-9}, respectively). Conclusions: Hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19, who did not require mechanical ventilation, are unlikely to develop pulmonary long-term impairments, thromboembolic complications or cardiac impairments after discharge but frequently suffer from symptoms of fatigue.","","","","","","","","","","","",225,232,"","","","","","","","","","","NOV-DEC",2020,174,"","","","","","","",106197,"10.1016/j.rmed.2020.106197","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rmed.2020.106197","","","","","","Cardiovascular System & Cardiology; Respiratory System","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000593722400001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Materials and methods: We retrieved cancer death certifications and population data from the World Health Organization and Eurostat databases for 1970-2014. We obtained estimates for 2019 with a linear regression on number of deaths over the most recent trend period identified by a logarithmic Poisson joinpoint regression model. We calculated the number of avoided deaths over the period 1989-2019. Results: We estimated about 1 410 000 cancer deaths in the EU for 2019, corresponding to age-standardized rates of 130.9/100 000 men (-5.9% since 2014) and 82.9 women (-3.6%). Lung cancer trends in women are predicted to increase 4.4% between 2014 and 2019, reaching a rate of 14.8. The projected rate for breast cancer was 13.4. Favourable trends for major neoplasms are predicted to continue, except for pancreatic cancer. Trends in breast cancer mortality were favourable in all six countries considered, except Poland. The falls were largest in women 50-69 (-16.4%), i.e. the age group covered by screening, but also seen at age 20-49 (-13.8%), while more modest at age 70-79 (-6.1%). As compared to the peak rate in 1988, over 5 million cancer deaths have been avoided in the EU over the 1989-2019 period. Of these, 440 000 were breast cancer deaths. Conclusion: Between 2014 and 2019, cancer mortality will continue to fall in both sexes. Breast cancer rates will fall steadily, with about 35% decline in rates over the last three decades. This is likely due to reduced hormone replacement therapy use, improvements in screening, early diagnosis and treatment. Due to population ageing, however, the number of breast cancer deaths is not declining.","","","","","","","","","","","",183,189,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2019,30,5,"","","","",781,787,"","10.1093/annonc/mdz051","http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/annonc/mdz051","","","","","","Oncology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000482490300014","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

Mortality data from 1983 to 2016 were obtained from Statistics Korea. The prevalence was defined as the number of cancer patients alive on January 1, 2017 among all cancer patients diagnosed since 1999. Crude and age-standardized rates (ASRs) for incidence, mortality, and prevalence and 5-year relative survivals were also calculated. Results Overall, 229,180 and 78,194 Koreans were newly diagnosed and died from cancer in 2016, respectively. The ASRs for cancer incidence and mortality in 2016 were 269.0 and 79.8 per 100,000 individuals, respectively. The all-cancer incidence rate increased significantly by 3.6% annually from 1999 to 2011 and started to decrease after 2011 (2011-2016; annual percent change, -3.1%). However, overall cancer mortality has decreased 2.7% annually since 2002. The 5-year relative survival rate for patients diagnosed with cancer between 2012 and 2016 was 70.6%, an improvement from the 41.2% for patients diagnosed between 1993 and 1995. Conclusion The cancer prevalence in Korea has increased very fast as survival has improved remarkably. The high prevalence of cancer emphasizes the need for comprehensive cancer control efforts in Korea.","","","","","","","","","","","",279,288,"","","","","","","","","","","APR",2019,51,2,"","","","",417,430,"","10.4143/crt.2019.138","http://dx.doi.org/10.4143/crt.2019.138","","","","","","Oncology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000464009400002","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

The almost simultaneous observation of a pulse of gamma rays proved that BNS mergers are associated with at least some short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, the gamma-ray pulse was faint, casting doubt on the association of BNS mergers with the luminous, highly relativistic outflows of canonical short GRBs. Here we show that structured jets with a relativistic, energetic core surrounded by slower and less energetic wings produce afterglow emission that brightens characteristically with time, as recently seen in the afterglow of GW170817. Initially, we only see the relatively slow material moving towards us. As time passes, larger and larger sections of the outflow become visible, increasing the luminosity of the afterglow. The late appearance and increasing brightness of the multiwavelength afterglow of GW170817 allow us to constrain the geometry of its ejecta and thus reveal the presence of an off-axis jet pointing about 30 degrees away from Earth. Our results confirm a single origin for BNS mergers and short GRBs: GW170817 produced a structured outflow with a highly relativistic core and a canonical short GRB. We did not see the bright burst because it was beamed away from Earth. However, approximately one in 20 mergers detected in gravitational waves will be accompanied by a bright, canonical short GRB.","","","","","","","","","","","",276,290,"","","","","","","","","","","JUN 13",2018,120,24,"","","","","","",241103,"10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.241103","http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.241103","","","","","","Physics","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000435081500001","View Full Record in Web of Science"]

We determined MSI status from large-panel clinical targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) data across various solid cancer types. Methods The MSI statuses of 12,288 advanced solid cancers consecutively sequenced with Memorial Sloan Kettering-Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets clinical NGS assay were inferred by using MSI sensor, a program that reports the percentage of unstable microsatellites as a score. Cutoff score determination and sensitivity/specificity were based on MSI polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and MMR immunohistochemistry. Results By using an MSIsensor score >= 10 to define MSI high (MSI-H), 83 (8%) of 996 colorectal cancers (CRCs) and 42 (16%) of 260 uterine endometrioid cancers (UECs) were MSI-H. Validation against MSI PCR and/or MMR immunohistochemistry performed for 138 (24 MSI-H, 114 microsatellite stable [MSS]) CRCs, and 40 (15 MSI-H, 25 MSS) UECs showed a concordance of 99.4%. MSIsensor also identified 68 MSI-H/MMR-deficient (MMR-D) non-CRC/ UECs. Of 9,591 non-CRC/UEC tumors with MSS MSIsensor status, 456 (4.8%) had slightly elevated scores (>= 3 and < 10) of which 96.6% with available material were confirmed to be MSS by MSI PCR. MSI-H was also detected and confirmed in three non-CRC/UECs with low exonic mutation burden (< 20). MSIsensor correctly scored all 15 polymerase epsilon ultra-mutated cancers as negative for MSI. Conclusion MSI status can be reliably inferred by MSIsensor from large-panel targeted NGS data. Concurrent MSI testing by NGS is resource efficient, is potentially more sensitive for MMR-D than MSI PCR, and allows identification of MSI-H across various cancers not typically screened, as highlighted by the finding that 35%(68 of 193) of all MSI-H tumors were non-CRC/UEC.

Therefore, we performed a systematic review of the available literature to quantify the accuracy and rate of adverse events of renal mass biopsy. Materials and Methods: wMEDLINE (R), Embase (R) and the Cochrane databases were searched (January 1997 to May 2015) for relevant studies. The systematic review process established by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality was followed. Nondiagnostic biopsies were excluded from diagnostic accuracy calculations. Results: A total of 20 studies with 2,979 patients and 3,113 biopsies were included in the study. The overall nondiagnostic rate was 14.1% with 90.4% of those undergoing surgery found to have malignancy. Repeat biopsy led to diagnosis in 80% of patients. The false-positive rate was low (4.0%), histological and renal cell carcinoma subtype concordance was substantial, and Fuhrman upgrading notable (16%) from low grade (1 to 2) to high grade (3 to 4). Core biopsy was highly sensitive (97.5%, CI 96.5-98.5) and specific (96.2%, CI 90.7-100) when a diagnostic result was obtained, but most patients (similar to 80%) did not undergo surgery after a benign biopsy. Among patients undergoing extirpation 36.7% with a negative biopsy had malignant disease on surgical pathology (negative predictive value 63.3%, CI 52.4-74.2). Direct complications included hematoma (4.9%), clinically significant pain (1.2%), gross hematuria (1.0%), pneumothorax (0.6%) and hemorrhage (0.4%). Conclusions: Diagnostic accuracy was generally high for biopsy of localized renal masses with a low complication rate, but the nondiagnostic rate and negative predictive value were concerning. Renal mass sampling should be used judiciously as further research will determine its true clinical utility.","","","","","","","","","","","",259,266,"","","","","","","","","","","MAY",2016,195,5,"","","","",1340,1347,"","10.1016/j.juro.2015.11.029","http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.juro.2015.11.029","","","","","","Urology & Nephrology","","","","Y","N","2025-04-23","WOS:000374144800005","View Full Record in Web of Science"]
