On the Edge - future adaptation challenges: The role of futurology, scenario planning methodology and off grid design in architectural and urban teaching
Authors: Zedníčková Zdeňka Němcová
Published: September 2022

The article describes the role of thinking about the future and its importance in architectural and urban education. The first part deals with the scientific discipline of futurology and the possibilities of its use in architectural and urban practice. It covers topics that futurology makes available to architecture and their influence on the urbanized environment. It relates the creation of strategic visions for urban development with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Habitat III initiative. The second part is dedicated to introducing the futurological method of scenario planning, and its origin and use. It mentions so-called megatrends as the driving forces of future scenarios, effecting future challenges and threats that cities will have to deal with. Further, it provides insight into how this method can benefit architectural and urban work and represents the way it was used during architectural teaching. It reflects on the advantages of creating visions in the educational process. In the last part, it shows the off-grid design as a suitable simulator of structural and system thinking, leading to a better understanding of how complex architectural and urban systems function. It highlights the contribution of space architecture projects as a source of innovative thinking. It anticipates that working on space projects where self-sufficiency is a necessity can also benefit thinking about ecology, self-sufficiency, and the sustainability of settlements on Earth.
Linking virtual reality, architecture, and crime prevention for educational purposes
Authors: Benkovičová Lucia
Published: September 2022

This paper presents selected links between the complex fields of architecture, use of virtual reality (as a part of computer science), and their potential in helping tackle crime. The presented information sets a general background for the development of a put forward prototype of new immersive learning experience to provide deeper understanding of CPTED concepts to enhance the traditional curriculum and the overall retention of knowledge. In architecture, better computer technology raises the stakes. Architecture’s side of communicating ideas and managing information has been reflected in BIM. Technology is one component of larger social, economic, and business revolutions that will continue to have a substantial impact on the markets in which architects deliver services. Technological progress enables blurring the boundaries between reality and the virtual world. It is a source of inspiration and some freedom in architectural design. The theory of education is also influenced by new technologies. There are scientific studies suggesting learning in virtual reality may be more efficient than in the real world. Current VR systems provide new features for perceptual expansion, for creative construction, and for unique social interactivity. There are now hundreds of university architecture programmes with VR and AR labs all over the world. We have also changed the way of designing of and thinking about our cities, including safety. The global nature of crime has brought international cooperation in the field of prevention, one example being the CPTED security concept. New visual stimuli, such as VR, may broaden our understanding of housing design, burglary risk and CPTED, and help prevent crime. VR has also pedagogical promise, as it can be used not only to assess hypothetical environments, but also to track, shape and affect subjects’ thinking towards them. There are not many practical studies on the use of VR for this purpose, which points at a niche for more research to be conducted in this area.

Construction of Databases for Small Area Estimation
Authors: Berg Emily
Published: September 2022

The demand for small area estimates can conflict with the objective of producing a multi-purpose data set. We use donor imputation to construct a database that supports small area estimation. Appropriately weighted sums of observed and imputed values produce model-based small area estimates. We develop imputation procedures for both unit-level and area-level models. For area-level models, we restrict to linear models. We assume a single vector of covariates is used for a possibly multivariate response. Each record in the imputed data set has complete data, an estimation weight, and a set of replicate weights for mean square error (MSE) estimation. We compare imputation procedures based on area-level models to those based on unit-level models through simulation. We apply the methods to the Iowa Seat-Belt Use Survey, a survey designed to produce state-level estimates of the proportions of vehicle occupants who wear a seat-belt. We develop a bivariate unit-level model for prediction of county-level proportions of belted drivers and total occupants. We impute values for the proportions of belted drivers and vehicle occupants onto the full population of road segments in the sampling frame. The resulting imputed data set returns approximations for the county-level predictors based on the bivariate model.
The Materialisation of “torrential languages” within the Avant-Garde: Mina Loy, James Joyce, and Aesthetic Modernism
Authors: Wang Bowen
Published: September 2022

Modernist literature was obsessed with a metaphysical problem regarding the word. A series of formal and material experiments started to address the word’s self-referentiality and aesthetic autonomy, against the backdrop of a new sociocultural milieu in the early twentieth century. To discover how this materialisation of language explored the interplay of literary and artistic modernisms, this paper will critically scrutinise Mina Loy’s and James Joyce’s radical reforms of writing and try to answer the following questions: how did Loy’s multifarious artisthood and poem-writing exchange, interact with, and reinforce each other? As both were closely associated with avant-garde art movements between Europe and America, how did Joyce influence Loy’s refashioning of “torrential languages” (LoLB 88) as a creative model of linguistic experimentation? How did their visual aesthetics and experimental poetics help to declare the independence of language and the shape of aesthetic modernism in a new historical epoch?
The “bull goose looney” as a Totem Guide for Chief’s Writing Himself to Freedom
Authors: Somerville Matthew
Published: September 2022

This paper examines the institutionalisation of psychiatric treatment in Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Taking up the work of Michel Foucault, the paper examines how those suffering from mental illness were classified as disruptive and unfit for society, subsequently labelled mad and institutionalised in facilities more akin to semi-judicial structures than medical facilities. McMurphy, having manipulated a transfer for himself from a state work farm to what he perceives will be the less rigorous confines of a mental institution, epitomises the disruptive presence of the madmen, bringing a world of disorder and chaos to the staff and patients of the mental ward. Self-proclaimed as the head “bull goose looney”, McMurphy reflects the counter-culture movements of the 1960s in the United States in his rejection of the rules and regulations imposed upon him by what amounts to a totalitarian system of control. A wild indomitable force of nature, McMurphy becomes a totem for Chief and the other patients, an embodiment of the human spirit the patients have forfeited inside the institutional system.
Naomi Alderman’s The Power: A Speculative Feminist Dystopian Fiction Mirroring the Here and Now
Authors: Sen Tuhin Shuvra
Published: September 2022

Speculative fiction, containing speculative elements based on supposition and imagination, changes the dynamics of what is real or possible as we perceive them in our current world and then surmises the likely consequences. Litterateurs have employed speculative fiction as a means of suggesting the latent possibilities and promises for our immediate reality which are not yet enacted or materialised. Accordingly, female writers of feminist speculative fiction, particularly from the 1970s onwards, have used this genre as an effective tool both to expose and to interrogate the oppressive status quo and the normative ethos of the conventional power relation between the sexes prevailing at present. In keeping with this, Naomi Alderman, in her Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction 2017 winning novel The Power, strategically flips the current power structure between the sexes on its head by investing the women, primarily adolescent girls, with the unforeseen yet inherent power of electrocuting men which ultimately results in a Cataclysm initiating a new world order ruled and dominated by empowered women some time in the future. This paper aims at exploring how Alderman, a staunch feminist, purposefully demonstrates in The Power that her novel’s fictional dystopia, though macabre and gruesome, is, in essence, a fairly accurate representation as well as a critique of the hierarchical gender relationship as it is prevalent in our present reality.
The Mitford Voice: A Diachronic Inquiry into the “Upper-Crust” Accent of the Mitford Sisters
Authors: Prina Federico
Published: September 2022

The present paper sets out to investigate whether the conservative or upper RP accent of selected elderly speakers, namely three of the Mitford sisters, all members of the English aristocracy, manifests change or diachronic stability and uniformity over time. The typical conservative RP features looked for were: the LOT-CLOTH split, absence of the CURE-FORCE merger, SQUARE vowel realised as diphthong /εə/, SMOOTHING, KIT vowel in unstressed ending syllables and TRAP vowel realised as /æ/ instead of /a/. The procedure of the study consisted in the identification of the presence or absence of these specific features in the speech of three selected speakers in recordings made over, at least, a 15-year time span. The individuals studied were: Lady Mosley (née Diana Freeman-Mitford), Jessica Lucy Freeman-Mitford and Deborah Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (née Deborah Vivien Freeman-Mitford). The results of these comparisons suggest that elderly upper RP speakers are not highly influenced by changes in pronunciation taking place around them and mostly maintain the preferred pronunciation of their youth. In some cases, however, a general uncertainty amongst speakers of the accent, here detected in the presence of the CURE-FORCE merger, does affect the speech of individuals over the course of time.
An Economic and Environmental Optimization Model in a Micro Grid with Demand Response
Authors: Rashidi Zadeh Dariush , Derakhshan Ghasem , Mehdi Hakimi Seyed , Abdi Babak
Published: September 2022

To accommodate the current energy system with the renewable energy source, the concept of micro grid (MG) has been developed. Using such systems, different advantage such as minimization of power loss, operating cost, and emission can be achieved. In this paper, the 24-hour power and heat based MG scheduling is investigated under environmental aspects and economic issues as bi-objective modelling in the presence of demand response (DR) program for decreasing greenhouse gas emission and system operation cost. The investigation of the MG contains energy storage system, boiler and combined heat and power (CHP). For solving the problem, first the Pareto optimal solutions have been obtained by the weighted-sum technique, then the fuzzy satisfying approach has been used to get optimal trade-off result. To confirm the performance of the method, the problem is solved in two-case to demonstrate the effects of DR on MG scheduling.
An Empirical Analysis of the Relationship Between Capital, Market Risks, and Liquidity Shocks in the Banking Industry
Authors: Rena Ravinder , Kamuinjo Albert V.
Published: September 2022

This study explores the relation between capital, market risks and banks’ liquidity conditions. In estimating the SVAR regression model, Granger causality, impulse-response functions and forecast error variance decomposition were employed and used for estimation of the results. The data sample comprised of commercial banks over the 2009 to 2018 period. The empirical results showed that liquidity shocks are caused by a combination of structural shocks. The Granger causality, impulse-response functions and forecast error variance decomposition documented that sensitivity to market risk is the key factor affecting liquidity conditions in the banking sector in the long run. In addition, the empirical results showed that capital adequacy has minimal impact on liquidity conditions in the short run. The reforming rate to sensitivity to market risk policies, capital adequacy policies and liquidity policy measures can be valuable policy tools to minimize liquidity shortages and avoid insolvent banks.
Strange neophites of islam: the transition of christians to islam in Russian Turkestan
Authors: Litvinenko P. V.
Published: September 2022

The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that Russia was and remains a multinational and multi-confessional country, transitions from one religion to another are not too rare today, therefore it seems important to consider the reasons and motives that prompted people to change their faith. The article deals with the problem of Christians' conversion to Islam in general and in Russian Turkestan in particular. The study describes the characteristics of Islam-Christian relations in Russian Turkestan in the last third of the XIX – early XX century. Based on archival sources, the author gives examples of the religious change of Russian people in favor of Islam, reveals the reasons, writes about the attitude of the Turkestan administration, the Holy Synod and the diocesan authorities to them. The author notes that interreligious relations in tsarist Russia were generally tolerant, but unequal. The Russian Orthodox Church was considered the dominant denomination in the country. The State has firmly and consistently protected her interests in a legal manner. Therefore, the conversions of Orthodox Christians to Islam were extremely rare and secret, since renegades and their seducers were subject to punishment. However, the situation changed after the adoption of liberal religious legislation in the early XX century. Despite the prohibitions of Orthodox Christians to convert to Islam, the lack of punitive punishment for this prompted some to change their faith. Over time, the number of renegades from Orthodoxy who converted to Islam began to amount to many dozens in the region. Coupled with transitions to other confessions, the number of traitors to Orthodoxy was measured in hundreds. Russian Turkestan's conversions to Islam were a noticeable phenomenon in its socio-political life and they did not contribute to the growth of the prestige of the Russian Orthodox Church among the multinational population of Central Asia.
Ideological impact in the province of the 1920s: monopolization of the process
Authors: Sherimet A. G.
Published: September 2022

The focus of the article is the initial formation stage of the system of ideological influence in Soviet Russia after the end of the civil war. The ensuing political, economic and social crises showed, among other things, the need to restructure and improve propaganda and agitation. That was recorded at the Х Party Congress. In national historiography, the party influence on the entire population of Soviet Russia in the 1920s is traditionally considered as the initial stage of the establishment of a system of such an impact. We believe that it is more appropriate to discuss this process, first and foremost, on the regional level, taking regional characteristics and opportunities into account. In addition, during the period under review, the party members were the first and the main object of ideological influence, followed by workers, the ―laboring‖ peasantry and their children. During the period under review, the final success was due not only and not so much to the creation and strengthening of the system of communist influence on the masses, but to the disappearance of alternative, or rather, the sources of these alternatives.
Shinsenshojiroku and Geneology and Geneological Table in Ancient Japan
Authors:   The Korean Association For Japanese History, Rhee Kun-Woo
Published: September 2022

Since the remaining Shinsenyojiroku is a summary, there is a limit to understanding its full extent. As a way to supplement this, we looked at the contents and characteristics of genealogy and genealogical table in ancient Japan. As a result of this review, it was confirmed that the concept of genealogy and genealogical table in ancient Japan is very different from the descendant group logic that we commonly know. In particular, it has been found that it is difficult to apply the paternal principle, which can be seen in the current genealogy of Korea, to ancient Japanese society. Representatively, even in the case of the succession of the political head's position, it was not necessary to have father-to-son relationships, but it was possible that a wide range of relatives or sons-in-law succeed the position. In the case of Silla, there are cases that the throne was handed down to the son-in-law. Talhae, King Namhae's son-in-law, ascended the throne, and Michu was also King Jeomhae's son-in-law.
In addition, as seen in the genealogy centered on Prince Shotoku and Tachibana, it can be confirmed that there was a classified genealogy that marked both paternal and maternal families, such as recording the parents of two people and their parents together. In this case, the descendants may again claim their affiliation to both the paternal and maternal families. A specific example is Mononobe Yugehi no Moriya. In addition, Doukyou, who is not a direct descendant of Moriya, also tried to rise to the post of prime minister through Moriya. This can be said that Uji is adjusted in a strong political intention rather than reflecting a realistic blood relationship.
Finally, we looked at Wake's genalogical table. Based on Inaginoobito's genealogy, firstly the genealogy of Iyowakenokimi and others were joined, and finally the genealogy of Takekunikoriwake seen in Nihonsioki and others was joined. Therefore, in the case of the genalogical table, it is believed that the genealogy of the clan, which was not completed with a neat genealogy centered on the origin, was often combined with the genealogy of the father, mother and the same job relationship. As such, Uji's important function was to show the origin of the position and function. Considering Shinsenshojiroku's record, it is essential to keep in mind these characteristics of ancient Japanese Uji.

CULTURA, TURISMO E DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIOTERRITORIAL: CRIATIVIDADE E INTELIGÊNCIA NAS BORDAS DA METRÓPOLE
Authors: Allis Thiago , Alcantara de Freitas João , Tibério de Jesus Isabela , Santos Goes Karina , Andrade da Silva Levi
Published: September 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo problematizar visões de políticas e projetos de cidades inteligentes centradas na aplicação de Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) (cf. WIIG, 2016; SHELTON et al., 2015; SÖDERSTRÖM et al., 2014). Nossas lentes foram calibradas para buscar, identificar e registrar o uso e a reprodução de tecnologias sociais como manifestação de outras inteligências, diferentes das que geralmente são acionadas quando se fala em smart cities ou mesmo smart destinations, no caso específico do turismo. Para isso, partimos de um paradigma de desenvolvimento tecnológico alternativo, com potencial de gerar conjunções mais inclusivas, participativas e democráticas, baseando-se na visão local dos cidadãos como agentes emancipadores, com capacidade de tomar decisões sobre as tecnologias que concebem, utilizam e difundem (POZZEBON; FONTENELLE, 2018). De maneira específica, buscou-se compreender como tais iniciativas mobilizam práticas e discursos no campo do turismo, como visitas guiadas aos seus respectivos territórios, hospedagens, excursões e eventos culturais realizados pela Comunidade Cultural Quilombaque, no distrito de Perus, em São Paulo. Como inferências possíveis ao momento, nota-se que a inteligência que emana dos territórios é responsável por expressões de articulação de movimentos que propõem visibilidade e transformações sócio-econômicas, muitas vezes ao largo de tênues ou mesmo ausentes políticas públicas específicas. Assim, a produção de territórios criativos - diferente do que se observa em muito das práticas correntes na literatura - se dá em função de engajamento social, resistência coletiva e proposições comunitárias, como substrato para produção de ações do Estado e outros agentes sociais e econômicos.

CREATIVE TOURISM AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: Costa Vânia , Pereira Raquel
Published: September 2022

The tourism sector has experienced unparalleled challenges, particularly with the Covid-19 pandemic. These challenges are an opportunity to focus on developing coordinated strategies and actions to promote sustainable and socially responsible tourism and thus accelerate the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. This research aims to identify and analyze literature that specifically addresses creative tourism as a model for sustainable development of tourism in cities. It aims to fill a gap in the knowledge of the field, as no reviews with this focus have yet been undertaken. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used to extract the publications and VOSviewer software was used to represent the analyzed data. The study analyses publications with the keywords “creative tourism” and “sustainability” and “cities” in titles, keywords and abstracts in the WOS database. The analysis identified publications representing a new line of research that has been evolving, identifying the authors, the countries, the journals, the study areas, and the publications that stand out concerning the analysis of this specific topic. The studies referring to the theme present an approach of conceptualisation and proposal of models and development of creative tourism and promote the planning and management of the territories attending to a creative and sustainable perspective. The main contribution of this research is the analysis of the corresponding literature aiming at rethinking and revitalising the tourism sector and territories in an integrated perspective and sustainable management in the planning processes of tourism destinations.
Foreign Trade and Renewable Energy Consumption: The Case of OECD and Turkey
Authors: GÜNEŞ Hakan , KAMACI Ahmet , ÖNDER Hatice
Published: September 2022

In this study, the impact of renewable energy consumption on foreign trade over the period of 2004-2017 in 27 OECD countries is analyzed via panel data analysis. In the study, the relationship between renewable energy consumption and foreign trade is tested using the Driscoll-Kraay estimator within the framework of the panel regression model. The results obtained in the study indicate that the increase in renewable energy consumption elevates exports and lowers imports. We also present the importance of the renewable energy trend in order to improve the foreign trade balance as a policy suggestion in the study. As we move from non-renewable energy to renewable energy, the foreign trade balance would improve.

В нашей работе изучено влияние холодовой адаптации на реактивность адренорецепторов сердечно-сосудистой системы и влияние холода на профилактику и возникновение сердечно-сосудистых патологий. Нами изучен процесс интернализации адренорецепторов сердечно-сосудистой системы при анализе лиганд-рецепторных взаимодействий в двойных обратных координатах Лайниувера-Берка. Нами получено, что после холодовой адаптации произошла интернализация b1-адренорецепторов сердца и их количество уменьшилось на 35%, при одновременном увеличении их чувствительности. Наша работа доказала, что в периферических артериях после холодовой адаптации произошла интернализация a1-адренорецепторов и их количество уменьшилось на 20%.

In our work, we studied the effect of cold adaptation on the reactivity of adrenoreceptors of the cardiovascular system and the effect of cold on the prevention and occurrence of cardiovascular pathologies. We have studied the process of internalization of adrenoreceptors of the cardiovascular system by analyzing ligand-receptor interactions in the double inverse coordinates of Liniover-Burke. We found that after cold adaptation, the internalization of b1-adrenoreceptors of the heart occurred and their number decreased by 35% with a simultaneous increase in their sensitivity. Our work proved that after cold adaptation, a1-adrenergic receptors internalized in peripheral arteries and their number decreased by 20%.
Reconciling Imbalanced Transition State Effects with Nonadiabatic CPET Reactions
Authors: Schneider Joseph , Goetz McKenna , Anderson John
Published: September 2022

Recently there have been several experimental demonstrations of how concerted proton electron transfer (CPET) reaction rates are affected by off-diagonal energies, namely the stepwise thermodynamic parameters ΔG°PT and ΔG°ET. Semiclassical structure-activity relationships have been invoked to rationalize these linear free energy relationships despite the widely acknowledged importance of quantum effects such as nonadiabaticity and tunneling in CPET reactions. Here we report variable temperature kinetic isotope effect data for the asynchronous reactivity of a terminal Co-oxo complex with C–H bonds and find evidence of substantial quantum tunneling which is inconsistent with semiclassical models even when including tunneling corrections. This indicates substantial nonadiabatic tunneling in the CPET reactivity of this Co-oxo complex and further motivates the need for a quantum mechanical justification for the influence of ΔG°PT and ΔG°ET on reactivity. We include ΔG°PT and ΔG°ET in nonadiabatic models of CPET by modeling how they influence the anharmonicity and depth of proton potential energy surfaces, which we approximate with a four-state model. With this model we independently reproduce a dominant trend with ΔG°PT + ΔG°ET as well as a more subtle effect of ΔG°PT − ΔG°ET (equivalently η) in a nonadiabatic framework. The primary route through which these off-diagonal energies influence rates is through vibronic coupling. Our results reconcile predictions from semiclassical transition state theory with models that treat proton transfer quantum mechanically in CPET reactivity and suggest that similar treatments may be possible for other reactions with significant nuclear tunneling.

An open-air method for the transition metal-free direct amination of nitro(hetero)arenes by anilines is disclosed. In this methodology, an aromatic C-H bond is substituted via oxidative nucleophilic aromatic substitution of hydrogen (ONSH). DFT calculations and mechanistic studies support a dianion pathway with oxidation by molecular oxygen as the rate-limiting step.
Rationalizing the emergence of viral variants that drive epidemics/pandemics and an in-silico approach to identify possible viral mutations that can drive epidemics/pandemics and offering fresh hope for epidemic or pandemic prevention/preparedness
Authors: Geoffrey Ben
Published: September 2022

The therapeutic challenge in addressing Viruses remains the fact that Viral mutations are random and often hard for our therapeutic response to keep up with in terms of coming up with drugs or vaccines for the new viral variants. Therefore, it would be a boon to our anti-viral therapy if we could somehow anticipate the viral mutations that would arise and be prepared for them. Epidemics/Pandemics are also often driven by Viruses picking up mutations that cause them to become more infectious and virulent in Humans. Therefore, it would be a great boon if we could somehow anticipate the mutation associated with a virus that would cause them to virulent in humans and be prepared therapeutically to neutralize the strains associated with these mutations. With the data associated with the evolution of SARS CoV, it is possible now to understand how viral variants emerge according to Natural selection. Natural selection picks out the fittest variants in terms of their infectivity and virulence to be the most dominant. In the case of SARS CoV 2, the emergence of new dominant variants is associated with stabilization mutations on the Spike of SARS CoV 2 that have led to increased affinity for human ACE2 receptor and decreased affinity for neutralizing antibodies. An in-silico approach has been shown that enables us to anticipate these possible dominant variants and thereby guide therapy and response in the present pandemic or can be applied more generally to prevent future pandemics.
A comparative study of different machine learning methods for dissipative quantum dynamics
Authors: E. Herrera Rodr ́ıguez Luis , Ullah Arif , J. Rueda Espinosa Kennet , O. Dral Pavlo , A. Kananenka Alexei
Published: September 2022

It has been recently shown that supervised machine learning (ML) algorithms can accurately and efficiently predict the long-time populations dynamics of dissipative quantum systems given only short-time population dynamics. In the present article, we benchmaked 22 ML models on their ability to predict long-time dynamics of a two-level quantum system linearly coupled to harmonic bath. The models include uni- and bidirectional recurrent, convolutional, and fully-connected feed-forward artificial neural networks (ANNs) and kernel ridge regression (KRR) with linear and most commonly used nonlinear kernels. Our results suggest that KRR with nonlinear kernels can serve as inexpensive yet accurate way to simulate long-time dynamics in cases where the constant length of input trajectories is appropriate.

The development of analytical techniques that decode chemical information in complex biochemical samples to discriminate different structural components may open the way for several new findings. In this study, principal component analysis (PCA) is carried out using a novel coding approach through a Matlab interface that provides a transparent access to multivariate analysis of Raman mapping datasets. Here, we illustrated the efficacy of this method to extract meaningful results from Raman images of Cannabis sativa trichomes. A large dataset of Cannabis trichome comprising of 441 Raman spectra was examined for the first time using our OpenPCA. By mapping the chemical distribution in the trichome, we could locate the secretary vesicles in the generated PC score curves from the Raman spectrum. Black-box PCA solutions available in commercial software can be limited by rigid input interfaces which may prevent obtaining information by tuning the PCA analysis on selected wavenumber ranges. The OpenPCA scripts facilitate the task of obtaining key information from widely distributed range of wavenumbers that are characteristic to a specific cannabinoid, namely Δ9-THC and CBD. Overall, the PCA-coding algorithm shows advantages in decoding Raman spectrum which could be extended to handle all kinds of datasets with simultaneous spatial and chemical details.

In our previous work [Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2022, 24, 9685], we show with molecular dynamics simulations that bulk nanobubbles can be stabilized by forming a compressed amphiphile monolayer at bubble interfaces. This observation closely resembles the stability origin of microemulsions and inspires us to propose here that stable bulk nanobubbles can be regarded as gaseous analogues of microemulsions: the gas-in-water nanobubble phase coexisting with the external gas phase. The stability mechanism for bulk nanobubbles is then given: The formation of compressed amphiphilic monolayer because of microbubble shrinking leads to a vanishing surface tension, and consequently the curvature energy of the monolayer dominates the thermodynamic stability of bulk nanobubbles. With the monolayer model, we further interpret several strange behaviors of bulk nanobubbles: the gas supersaturation is not a prerequisite for nanobubble stability because of the vanishing surface tension, and the typical nanobubble size of 100nm is due to the small bending constant of the monolayer. Finally, through analyzing the compressed amphiphile monolayer model we propose that bulk nanobubbles can ubiquitously exist in aqueous solutions.

A machine learning-based tool that provides conditions and predicted yields for Buchwald-Hartwig couplings from a ChemDraw™ structure input is described. The tool is built on an in-house generated experimental dataset that explores a diverse network of reactant pairings. To minimize the number of experiments necessary to produce models and maximize data value, a workflow based on unsupervised machine leaning tools was created. The workflow enables the construction of models which can successfully generalize—making predictions for reactants which are not represented in the dataset.

Hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC) is a potentially cost-effective energy conversion technology. However, current state of the art HEMFCs require a high loading of platinum-group-metal (PGM) catalysts, especially for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Here we develop a porous nitrogen-doped carbon-supported PtRu HOR catalyst (PtRu/pN-C) that has the highest reported intrinsic and mass activity in alkaline condition. Spectroscopic and microscopic data indicate the presence of Pt single atoms (SAs) in addition to PtRu nanoparticles on pN-C. Mechanistic study suggests Ru modulates the electronic structure of Pt for an optimized hydrogen binding energy, while Pt-SAs on pN-C optimize the interfacial water structure. These synergetic interactions are responsible for the high catalytic activity of this catalyst. An HEMFC with a low loading of this catalyst and a commercial Fe-N-C oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst achieves the highest reported PGM utilization rate. The current density at 0.65 V of this HEMFC reaches 1.5 A/cm2, exceeding the US DOE 2022 target (1 A/cm2) by 50 %.
Shining a Light on Photoresponsive Type III Porous Liquids

Porous materials are the subject of extensive research because of potential applications in areas such as gas adsorption and molecular separations. Until recently, most porous materials were solids, but there is now an emerging class of materials known as porous liquids. The incorporation of intrinsic porosity or cavities in a liquid can result in free-flowing materials that are capable of gas uptakes that are significantly higher than conventional non-porous liquids. A handful of porous liquids have also been investigated for gas separations. Until now, the release of gas from porous liquids has relied on molecular displacement (e.g., by adding small solvent molecules), pressure or temperature swings, or sonication. Here, we explore a new method of gas release that involves photoisomerisable porous liquids comprising a photoresponsive MOF dispersed in an ionic liquid. This results in the selective uptake of CO2 over CH4, and allows gas release to be controlled by using UV light.

Uno de los retos que tienen los profesionales de las diversas áreas de la ingeniería es responder a los acelerados cambios en el sector industrial y social, en donde las capacidades para desarrollar nuevos productos, procesos y servicios llegan a ser determinantes para el desarrollo socio-económico. Por ello, en muchos programas de formación de ingeniería industrial se han incorporado competencias como, por ejemplo, “innovar en productos, procesos o servicios”, “gestionar el conocimiento” y/o “gestionar la tecnología de una organización”. No obstante, al hacer una revisión de las competencias que se asocian a estos campos específicos, se encuentra que son múltiples las que deberían desarrollarse para desempeñarse de manera adecuada en estas áreas de gestión empresarial. Por supuesto, un programa de formación en ingeniería industrial que aborde todas estas competencias, además de las propias de esta área de la ingeniería, no podría cumplir con las limitaciones para el diseño curricular en lo referente al número de créditos y el tiempo de dedicación de los estudiantes a su proceso formativo. Este trabajo presente una revisión de las competencias que, en la literatura, están asociadas a la gestión de la innovación, el conocimiento y la tecnología; cómo se incorpora en la formación de ingeniería industrial, y plantea una propuesta teórica sobre cuál puede ser el desarrollo de las mismas para un ingeniero recién egresado. Los resultados muestran que varias de las competencias que hacen parte de la formación medular del ingeniero industrial se requieren también para gestionar la innovación, el conocimiento y la tecnología; siendo necesario reforzar algunos aspectos, de acuerdo al nivel de profundidad que un programa específico quiera ofrecer a sus estudiantes.
