Motivações, dificuldades e expectativas acerca da adoção: Perspectivas de futuros pais adotivos
Authors: Araujo Ana Isabel Dos Santos Félix , Faro André
Published: November 2018

O presente estudo objetivou delinear motivos, dificuldades e expectativas em torno do futuro filho na perspectiva de pais candidatos ao processo de adoção, como também, caracterizar o perfil da criança pretendida em uma Vara da Infância e Juventude de Aracaju (SE). Entrevistaram-se 13 candidatos a pais adotivos (monoparentais e casais), a partir dos seguintes eixos temáticos: motivações para a adoção; preferências quanto à criança; expectativas concernentes à adoção; e medos e receios em torno da adoção. As falas foram analisadas com o software IRAMUTEQ. Os resultados reiteraram a complexidade subjetiva do processo de adoção, em especial pelo embate entre fantasia e realidade no que toca à futura adaptação à nova família. Ademais, houve preferência por meninas, brancas ou pardas e menores que cinco anos. Conclui-se que compreender a forma pela qual os adotantes significam a adoção pode auxiliar no delineamento de ações mais apropriadas de orientação e aconselhamento na temática.
Representações sociais da velhice e do envelhecimento na era digital: Revisão da literatura
Authors: Castro Amanda , Camargo Brigido Vizeu
Published: November 2018

O presente artigo de revisão de literatura tem como objetivo analisar as representações sociais da velhice e do envelhecimento na era digital. A representatividade demográfica da população idosa, traz um novo panorama ao processo de envelhecimento. A partir das atividades sociais e com o desenvolvimento de grupos voltados aos idosos e a construção social da “terceira idade”, houve a propagação da ideia da “melhor idade” em oposição à velhice. As iniciativas e comunicações online, voltadas para a “melhor idade” tratam o envelhecimento como uma experiência gratificante, em que se é possível realizar os planos adiados ao longo da vida e, portanto, ser feliz. Desse modo, a ênfase nos ganhos com a chegada da velhice com destaque para a “melhor idade” favorece a desconstrução da velhice associada à doenças, morte e inatividade, mas parece desconsiderar a pluralidade de experiências de envelhecimento.
Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF) best practices in electronic publishing in taxonomy
Authors: Bénichou Laurence , Gérard Isabelle , Laureys Éric , Price Michelle
Published: November 2018

In order to consider the effects of online publishing on the career of researchers, as well as to encourage both its recognition and its improved positioning within the field and beyond, the CETAF Membership organized two workshops during which specific questions about scientific publishing in taxonomy were addressed: authorship citation and Open Access. The present opinion paper is the result of those workshops held on 19 October 2016 in Madrid and on 4 October 2017 in Heraklion. The discussions were aimed at reconciling the requirements of the relevant nomenclatural codes with recommendations for best practices that are adapted to the evolving landscape of e-publishing. By evaluating the different policies of a range of journals regarding authorship citation, we were able to recognise the conflicting and incoherent practices related to the citation of taxon authorships; an issue that is important to clarify for scientific (explicit source), practical (findability of source) and reputational (citation index) reasons. A collective policy on authorship citation also fits into the wider challenge faced by researchers and institutions, whereby interoperability and traceability become key priorities, both for facilitating access to scientific resources and for generating metrics that accurately represent the activities and output of the community. Publications resulting from publicly-funded research should be considered as an essential part of the research process and there has been a strong move towards Open Access, which increases visibility, citability, innovation and impact. Diverse models of Open Access have appeared in scientific publishing but while they each promote free access to the end user, they are not always equitable for the authors and funders of the original research. Herein we formulate recommendations for the relevant research communities and outline the advantages behind adopting a collective strategy towards the issues of authorship citation and Open Access.
Tverrfaglig samarbeid i produktutviklingsarbeid

Published: November 2018

Dyktige fagutøvere kan synes som en god forsikring mot å feile i produktutviklingsarbeid.Samtidig kan utøvelse av sekvensielt organisert faglighet føre til svakere tverrfaglig integreringav oppgavene. Tverrfaglig teamorganisering kan bøte på dette problemet, men kan også opplevessom truende for den enkelte deltagers faglige integritet og identitet. Spesielt i utviklingenav designprodukter blir ofte produktidentitet og designeridentitet forstått som to sider avsamme sak. Dette kan forventes å ha betydning for hvordan andre faggrupper får innflytelsepå utviklingsarbeidet.
Dopamine neurons drive fear extinction learning by signaling the omission of expected aversive outcomes
Authors: Salinas-Hernández Ximena I , Vogel Pascal , Betz Sebastian , Kalisch Raffael , Sigurdsson Torfi , Duvarci Sevil
Published: November 2018

Extinction of fear responses is critical for adaptive behavior and deficits in this form of safety learning are hallmark of anxiety disorders. However, the neuronal mechanisms that initiate extinction learning are largely unknown. Here we show, using single-unit electrophysiology and cell-type specific fiber photometry, that dopamine neurons in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) are activated by the omission of the aversive unconditioned stimulus (US) during fear extinction. This dopamine signal occurred specifically during the beginning of extinction when the US omission is unexpected, and correlated strongly with extinction learning. Furthermore, temporally-specific optogenetic inhibition or excitation of dopamine neurons at the time of the US omission revealed that this dopamine signal is both necessary for, and sufficient to accelerate, normal fear extinction learning. These results identify a prediction error-like neuronal signal that is necessary to initiate fear extinction and reveal a crucial role of DA neurons in this form of safety learning.
Structural basis of tubulin recruitment and assembly by microtubule polymerases with tumor overexpressed gene (TOG) domain arrays
Authors: Nithianantham Stanley , Cook Brian D , Beans Madeleine , Guo Fei , Chang Fred , Al-Bassam Jawdat
Published: November 2018

XMAP215/Stu2/Alp14 proteins accelerate microtubule plus-end polymerization by recruiting tubulins via arrays of tumor overexpressed gene (TOG) domains, yet their mechanism remains unknown. Here, we describe the biochemical and structural basis for TOG arrays in recruiting and polymerizing tubulins. Alp14 binds four tubulins via dimeric TOG1-TOG2 subunits, in which each domain exhibits a distinct exchange rate for tubulin. X-ray structures revealed square-shaped assemblies composed of pseudo-dimeric TOG1-TOG2 subunits assembled head-to-tail, positioning four unpolymerized tubulins in a polarized wheel-like configuration. Crosslinking and electron microscopy show Alp14-tubulin forms square assemblies in solution, and inactivating their interfaces destabilize this organization without influencing tubulin binding. An X-ray structure determined using approach to modulate tubulin polymerization revealed an unfurled assembly, in which TOG1-TOG2 uniquely bind to two polymerized tubulins. Our findings suggest a new microtubule polymerase model in which TOG arrays recruit tubulins by forming square assemblies that then unfurl, facilitating their concerted polymerization into protofilaments.
The relationship between social rank and spatial learning in pheasants, Phasianus colchicus: cause or consequence?
Authors: Langley Ellis J.G. , van Horik Jayden O. , Whiteside Mark A. , Beardsworth Christine E. , Madden Joah R.
Published: November 2018

Individual differences in performances on cognitive tasks have been found to differ according to social rank across multiple species. However, it is not clear whether an individual’s cognitive performance is flexible and the result of their current social rank, modulated by social interactions (social state dependent hypothesis), or if it is determined prior to the formation of the social hierarchy and indeed influences an individual’s rank (prior attributes hypothesis). We separated these two hypotheses by measuring learning performance of male pheasants, Phasianus colchicus, on a spatial discrimination task as chicks and again as adults. We inferred adult male social rank from observing agonistic interactions while housed in captive multi-male multi-female groups. Learning performance of adult males was assayed after social rank had been standardised; by housing single males with two or four females. We predicted that if cognitive abilities determine social rank formation we would observe: consistency between chick and adult performances on the cognitive task and chick performance would predict adult social rank. We found that learning performances were consistent from chicks to adults for task accuracy, but not for speed of learning and chick learning performances were not related to adult social rank. Therefore, we could not support the prior attributes hypothesis of cognitive abilities aiding social rank formation. Instead, we found that individual differences in learning performances of adults were predicted by the number of females a male was housed with; males housed with four females had higher levels of learning performance than males housed with two females; and their most recent recording of captive social rank, even though learning performance was assayed while males were in a standardized, non-competitive environment. This does not support the hypothesis that direct social pressures are causing the inter-individual variation in learning performances that we observe. Instead, our results suggest that there may be carry-over effects of aggressive social interactions on learning performance. Consequently, whether early life spatial learning performances influence social rank is unclear but these performances are modulated by the current social environment and a male’s most recent social rank.
A general pattern of the species abundance distribution
Authors: Su Qiang
Published: November 2018

Since the 1970s, species abundance distributions (SADs) have been one of the most fundamental issues in ecology and have frequently been investigated and reviewed. However, there was surprisingly little consensus. This study focuses on three essential questions. (1) Is there a general pattern of SAD that no community can violate it? (2) If it exists, what does it look like? (3) Why is it like this? The frequency distributions of 19,833 SADs from eight datasets (including eleven taxonomic groups from terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems) suggest that a general pattern of SAD might exist. According to two hypotheses (the finiteness of the total energy and the causality from the entropy to the diversity), this study assumes that the general pattern of SAD is approximately consistent with Zipf’s law, which means that Zipf’s law might be more easily to observe when one investigates any SAD. In the future, this conjecture not only needs to be tested (or supported) by more and more datasets, but also depends on how well it is explained from different angles of theories.
Microsatellite loci development and population genetics in Neotropical fishCurimata mivartii(Characiformes: Curimatidae)
Authors: Landínez-García Ricardo M. , Marquez Edna J.
Published: November 2018

The Curimatidae family plays an ecological role in the recycling and distribution of nutrients and constitutes a major food source for several commercially important fishes.Curimata mivartii, a member of this family, is considered a short-distance migratory species (≤100 km), categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as a near threatened species, based on its declining population densities and habitat disturbance and fragmentation. Since population genetics and species-specific molecular tools remain unknown for all members of the Curimatidae family, this study developed a set of microsatellite loci and studied the population genetics ofC. mivartiiin the lower section of the Colombian Magdalena-Cauca basin. The results showed high levels of genetic diversity and evidence of gene flow even between locations separated over 350 km. This information provides a baseline for designing conservation and management programs forC.mivartiiand constitutes the first study of population genetics in Curimatidae.

TRANSMISSÃO DE TEXTO: O CASO PESSOA (TEXT TRANSMISSION: THE CASE PESSOA)
Authors: Santiago-Almeida Manoel Mourivaldo
Published: November 2018

O levantamento de variantes ou alterações ou modificações surgidas no processo de transmissão de um texto literário é, na execução de uma edição crítico-genética, por exemplo, a etapa que exige atenção especial do editor. Esse cuidado é necessário porque é desse levantamento que se busca eleger, dentre as variantes, as que são autorais em detrimento das não autorais no momento da composição do texto final. Para tratar dessa linha de investigação e mostrar sua importância para os estudos literários, destacamos, neste texto, o caso da transmissão do primeiro poema de O guardador de rebanhos de Alberto Caeiro (Fernando Pessoa).

DEVERES E QUERERES: CONFLITOS TRÁGICOS EM 'FILOCTETES' E 'O ZOOLÓGICO DE VIDRO' | DUTIES AND DESIRES: TRAGIC CONFLICTS IN 'PHILOCTETES' AND 'THE GLASS MENAGERIE'
Authors: De Pinho Santoro Lopes Carolina
Published: November 2018

O objetivo deste trabalho é explorar a permanência de elementos trágicos no teatro contemporâneo, tendo como base as obras Filoctetes, de Sófocles, e O zoológico de vidro, de Tennessee Williams. Embora a produção da tragédia grega tenha se limitado a um curto período da Antiguidade clássica, elementos dessa forma artística ainda perduram e têm influenciado obras teatrais de diversos lugares até os dias de hoje. As duas peças analisadas compartilham a temática de um dilema ético, retratando um conflito entre a vontade e o dever que se reflete nos embates entre os personagens. 

Abstract: This article explores the permanence of tragic elements in contemporary drama by focussing on Sophocles's Philoctetes and Tennessee Williams's The Glass Menagerie. Although the production of Greek tragedies was limited to a short period of classical antiquity, some elements of this artistic form endure and have influenced drama in various places up until the current day. Both plays thematize an ethical dilemma by portraying a conflict between one's will and one’s sense of duty, which is reflected in the verbal disputes between characters.

Authors: Meynet Beatriz Carina
Published: November 2018

La enseñanza del vocabulario desde el método tradicional presenta serios problemas: 1) no se considera un contenido importante; 2) su introducción a partir del aprendizaje de declinaciones y conjugaciones afecta a la calidad de los ítems seleccionados; 3) la desatención a la información argumental de los verbos afecta al aprendizaje de los casos. Nuestro objetivo es proponer soluciones a dichos problemas a partir de criterios lingüísticos (semánticos y sintácticos) y estadísticos (frecuencia).

Abstract: The teaching of vocabulary with a traditional approach presents serious problems: 1) vocabulary is not considered to be an important subject; 2) the teaching of vocabulary based upon the learning of declensions and conjugations affects the appropriateness of the words selected; 3) and the lack of attention to the argument structure of selected verbs affects the learning of the case system. The aim of this study is to provide some solutions to these problems by proposing linguistic (semantic and syntactic) and statistical (frequency) criteria. 
A REPÚBLICA DE FLORENÇA COMO A SEGUNDA ROMA REPUBLICANA NA 'INVECTIVA IN ANTONIUM LUSCHUM VICENTINUM' DE LINO COLUCCIO SALUTATI | THE REPUBLIC OF FLORENCE AS THE SECOND REPUBLICAN ROME IN THE 'INVECTIVA IN ANTONIUM L. VICENTINUM' OF LINO C. SALUTATI
Authors: Ambrosio Renato
Published: November 2018

Lino Coluccio Salutati, humanista e chanceler da República de Florença por mais de trinta anos, foi o primeiro humanista a ligar Florença à Roma republicana. Ele estabeleceu essa ligação não apenas como exercício de erudição humanística, mas, sobretudo, com objetivos políticos em um delicado momento da história e da política externa da sua república. Essa ligação estabelecida por Salutati é, ao mesmo tempo, fruto do restabelecimento dos estudos acerca da história, literatura e cultura da Antiguidade Clássica iniciado por Francesco Petrarca, de quem Salutati foi discípulo. Esse foi um dos momentos cruciais desse processo de restauração dos studia humanitatis que deixou marcas duradouras tanto nos estudos humanísticos como na história política da República de Florença e no pensamento político moderno. 

Abstract: Lino Coluccio Salutati, humanist and chancellor of the Republic of Florence for over thirty years, was the first humanist to link Florence to Republican Rome. While this link was made partly as an exercise in the humanistic erudition, it was made mainly for political purposes during a delicate moment in foreign politics in the Florentine Republic. The connection established by Salutati between Florence and Republican Rome is the result of the return to the study of history, literature and culture of classical antiquity started by Francesco Petrarch, of whom Salutati was a disciple. This connection was also one of the critical moments in the process of the restoration of studia humanitatis, which left a lasting mark not only in humanistic studies but also in the political history of the Florentine Republic and in modern political thought.

Authors: Remundini Elerson Cestaro , Wielewicki Vera Helena Gomes
Published: November 2018

O presente artigo consiste num painel teórico a fim de discutir se o sistema escolar vigente, alicerçado na alfabetização, é capaz de oferecer a alunos disléxicos o suporte necessário para seu progresso acadêmico, devido às suas limitações neurobiológicas. Aqui, em especial, temos como foco o aprendizado de língua estrangeira. Com base nas contribuições teóricas de Cope & Kalantzis (2009), Rojo (2009), Lemke (2010) e outros, verificou-se que uma alternativa promissora consiste na prática dos multiletramentos, que abrangem outras semioses além da escrita. Nesse sentido, são apresentadas ao final do estudo algumas estratégias de ensino voltadas para uma pedagogia dos multiletramentos.

Palavras-Chave: Dislexia; Multiletramentos; Educação pluralista.

Abstract: This paper brings a theoretical overview whose aim is to discuss whether Brazil's educational system, historically oriented towards the development of reading/writing abilities, is really able to offer dyslexic students the support they need for their academic progress, due to their neurobiological limitations. In this research, our focus is on foreign language teaching. Anchored in theoretical contributions by Cope & Kalantzis (2009), Rojo (2009), Kleiman (1995) and Lemke (2010), among others, it was possible to verify that a promising alternative relies on multiliteracies, which comprise other semiosis beyond written language. Thus, upon completion of the study, we introduce some teaching strategies geared towards a pedagogy of multiliteracies.

O presente artigo examina o acórdão proferido no julgamento do Recurso Especial nº 1.140.549/MG. Demonstra a importância da fauna para o equilíbrio ambiental e o contexto histórico da relação entre os seres humanos e os animais. O objetivo é analisar a prática comum realizada por várias pessoas que mantém pássaros saudáveis e bem cuidados em cativeiro e que, frequentemente, possuem laços de afeto com estes animais, porém, sem a autorização do IBAMA. A manutenção de pássaros em cativeiro, embora não seja, em princípio, recomendada, pode possuir aspectos positivos. O artigo demonstra a independência entre a responsabilidade civil e administrativa e, ainda, a necessidade de demonstração do dano para que possa ocorrer a responsabilidade civil. Buscou-se compreender o problema por meio de raciocínio dedutivo, com vertente metodológica jurídico-teórica, alicerçando-se na análise de doutrinas, artigos e decisão judicial  relacionados ao tema. Por fim, será demonstrada a necessidade da efetiva demonstração de dano ambiental para caracterizar a responsabilidade civil objetiva.

Published: November 2018

Tendo em vista a atualidade do tema, o presente estudo tem como objetivo realizar uma análise a respeito da problemática que envolve os animais não-humanos e seus direitos. Diante do novo momento que a humanidade vive é preciso investigar se além dos seres humanos os animais não-humanos, comprovadamente seres sencientes, devem possuir direitos além de desenvolver algumas considerações a respeito de uma ética animal. Como seres senscientes, estes merecem especial atenção e respeito. O ser humano é responsável por criar esta consciência e colocar em prática ações que demonstrem que não é um ser especista e que defende apenas o seu interesse. Hoje, o olhar sobre o mundo é mais amplo, e demanda do ser humano esta postura. Este estudo, portanto, é desenvolvido para refletir a respeito das questões apresentadas e que refletem no modo de agir humano, o que visa uma mudança em alguns parâmetros dos hábitos vida humana.

Screening of Hyperlipidemia Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis in the United States
Authors: Navarro‐Millán Iris , Yang Shuo , Chen Lang , Yun Huifeng , Jagpal Aprajita , Bartels Christie M. , Fraenkel Liana , Safford Monika M. , Curtis Jeffrey R.
Published: November 2018

Objective

To determine the proportion of primary lipid screening among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and compare it with those among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and patients with neither RA nor DM, and to assess whether primary lipid screening varied according to the health care provider (rheumatologist versus non‐rheumatologist).

Methods

We analyzed claims data from US private and public health plans from 2006–2010. Eligibility requirements included continuous medical and pharmacy coverage for ≥12 months (baseline period) and >2 physician diagnoses and relevant medications to define RA, DM, RA and DM, or neither condition. Among the 330,695 eligible participants, we calculated the proportion with a lipid profile ordered during the 2 years following baseline. Time‐varying Cox proportional hazard models were used to determine the probability of hyperlipidemia screening in participants with RA according to provider specialty.

Results

More than half of the patients were ages 41–71 years. Among patients with RA (n = 12,182), DM (n = 62,834), RA and DM (n = 1,082), and those who did not have either condition (n = 167,811), the proportion screened for hyperlipidemia was 37%, 60%, 55%, and 41%, respectively. Patients with RA who visited a rheumatologist and a non‐rheumatology clinician during follow‐up had a 55% (95% confidence interval 1.36–1.78) higher screening probability than those who only visited a rheumatologist.

Conclusion

Primary lipid screening was suboptimal among patients with RA. It was also lower for patients with DM and minimally different from the general population. Screening was higher for RA patients who received care from both a rheumatologist and a non‐rheumatologist (e.g., primary care physician).
Real‐time iterative learning control‐two applications with time scales between years and nanoseconds
Authors: Lautenschlager Björn , Pfeiffer Sven , Schmidt Christian , Lichtenberg Gerwald
Published: November 2018

Iterative learning control (ILC) is a family of digital control concepts, which can be used for a large variety of different applications. Each application has its own properties like sampling time and storage needs. This paper shows two real‐time ILC applications with different time scales and storage demands. First, the cavities of one of the world's leading pulsed free‐electron laser are controlled by a norm‐optimal ILC using only the information about the last pulse but with sample times below microseconds. Second, a heating system is controlled by a data‐driven ILC with a sample time in the range of minutes but using all available historic data sets of past trials. Tensor decomposition methods for storage demand and complexity reduction are applied to both applications, which results in a norm‐optimal tensor ILC, as well as, a data‐driven tensor ILC, although the time constants for the two applications vary by eight orders of magnitude.
Defect‐Stabilized Triplet State Excitons: Toward Ultralong Organic Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence
Authors: Shi Wenying , Yao Jian , Bai Liqian , Lu Chao
Published: November 2018

Generation of organic room‐temperature phosphorescent (RTP) with high efficiency and long lifetime has encountered great obstacles because the luminescence process of long‐lived excitons generally involves the conversion of the spin‐allowed singlet excitons to the spin‐forbidden triplet excitons. In contrast, the lifetime and efficiency of inorganic RTP materials are often superior to those of organic materials, because their luminescence derives from gradual release of trapped charge carriers from isolated traps (defects). Such a trapping–detrapping mechanism inspires one to take advantage of the defects of inorganic materials for stabilizing triplet state excitons and enhancing RTP performances of organic materials (e.g., carbon dots, CDs). Based on the above principle, as‐prepared CDs‐based material shows ultralong RTP lifetime of about 800 ms under ambient conditions. Interestingly, in this system the appearance of the tunneling‐related exciton transfer process assists the acquisition of long‐lived phosphorescence. The designed organic–inorganic RTP composite builds a bridge between organic and inorganic luminescence mechanisms.
Substrate‐Controlled Diastereoselectivity Switch in the Formation of Dihydrothieno[3,4‐c]coumarins via [4+1] Annulations
Authors: Yu Li‐Si‐Han , Meng Chang‐Yu , Wang Jing , Gao Zhi‐Jian , Xie Jian‐Wu
Published: November 2018

An expedient and practical route for realizing a novel, substrate‐controlled diastereoselective switch strategy has been successfully developed. The [4+1] annulation of thioamides with sulfur ylides proceeded smoothly via a Michael addition triggered sequential process, and trans‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐c]coumarins were obtained because of steric hindrance effects between the benzoyl group and the unit of 2H‐chromen‐2‐one as shown in the Newman projection. Nucleophilic substitution was observed as the key step when the sulfur ylides were replaced with acetophenones in the [4+1] annulation, and a double π,π‐stacking donor‐acceptor interaction stabilized the transition state that led to the cis‐dihydrothieno[3,4‐c]coumarins. In addition, a facile chemoselective reaction was also investigated, providing a series of thieno[3,4‐c]coumarins.

NH3is a valuable chemical with a wide range of applications, but the conventional Haber–Bosch process for industrial‐scale NH3production is highly energy‐intensive with serious greenhouse gas emission. Electrochemical reduction offers an environmentally benign and sustainable route to convert N2to NH3at ambient conditions, but its efficiency depends greatly on identifying earth‐abundant catalysts with high activity for the N2reduction reaction. Here, it is reported that MnO particles act as a highly active catalyst for electrocatalytic hydrogenation of N2to NH3with excellent selectivity. In 0.1mNa2SO4, this catalyst achieves a high Faradaic efficiency up to 8.02% and a NH3yield of 1.11 × 10−10mol s−1cm−2at −0.39 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode, with great electrochemical and structural stability. On the basis of density functional theory calculations, MnO (200) surface has a smaller adsorption energy toward N than that of H with the *N2→ *N2H transformation being the potential‐determining step in the nitrogen reduction reaction.

Based on multielectron conversion reactions, layered transition metal dichalcogenides are considered promising electrode materials for sodium‐ion batteries, but suffer from poor cycling performance and rate capability due to their low intrinsic conductivity and severe volume variations. Here, interlayer‐expanded MoSe2/phosphorus‐doped carbon hybrid nanospheres coated by anatase TiO2 (denoted as MoSe2/P‐C@TiO2) are prepared by a facile hydrolysis reaction, in which TiO2 coating polypyrrole‐phosphomolybdic acid is utilized as a novel precursor followed by a selenization process. Benefiting from synergistic effects of MoSe2, phosphorus‐doped carbon, and TiO2, the hybrid nanospheres manifest unprecedented cycling stability and ultrafast pseudocapacitive sodium storage capability. The MoSe2/P‐C@TiO2 delivers decent reversible capacities of 214 mAh g−1 at 5.0 A g−1 for 8000 cycles, 154 mAh g−1 at 10.0 A g−1 for 10000 cycles, and an exceptional rate capability up to 20.0 A g−1 with a capacity of ≈175 mAh g−1 in a voltage range of 0.5–3.0 V. Coupled with a Na3V2(PO4)3@C cathode, a full cell successfully confirms a reversible capacity of 242.2 mAh g−1 at 0.5 A g−1 for 100 cycles with a coulombic efficiency over 99%.

High‐performance catalysts are required in various energy storage and conversion systems. In this work, hierarchical Ni‐Fe‐Mo trimetal nitride nanotubes (NTs) as highly efficient, low‐cost, robustly stable, multifunctional catalysts through room‐temperature Fe incorporation and subsequent thermal treatment for full water splitting and Zn‐air batteries are fabricated. The two‐electrode electrolyzer assembled from the NTs delivers a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at 1.513 V, outperforming the precious metal IrO2|Pt couple and state‐of‐the‐art bifunctional catalysts. Furthermore, two all‐solid‐state Zn‐air batteries with the hierarchical NT air cathode in series can power 55 red light‐emitting diodes with excellent operation stability, at the same time as the electrolyzer based on the hierarchical NTs.

Published: November 2018

The BaCeO3‐based perovskite oxide can be applied as a steam‐permeable membrane due to their noticeable mixed oxygen ion and proton conducting properties. In this article, a transient model of the steam permeation through the BaCe0.9Y0.1O3‐δ perovskite membrane at elevated temperatures has been developed with the Poisson–Nernst–Planck equations for analyzing the steam permeation process, in which the distribution of charged defects in the membrane is carefully considered. The effects of the operating temperature, the membrane thickness, the steam partial pressure, and the electric potential difference between two membrane sides during the steam permeation have been simulated and discussed. The modeling results indicate there exists a maximum value of the spontaneous electric potential difference with the temperature rise and the external electric potential can obviously increase the steam flux. The model is validated using the experimental results from literature under steady state operational conditions. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: 777–782, 2019
Kinetics and new mechanism study of CO2 absorption into water and tertiary amine solutions by stopped‐Flow technique
Authors: Liu Sen , Gao Hongxia , Luo Xiao , Liang Zhiwu
Published: November 2018

The objective of the present work was to find the accurate kinetic models and mechanism for CO2 absorption into tertiary amine solution, aiming at understanding the contribution of the CO2 reaction with H2O, OH−, and tertiary amines on the overall reaction rate. First, the kinetics of CO2 absorption into water instead of a buffer solution were studied using the stopped‐flow technique at 293–313 K, with initial CO2 molar concentration of 1.1–37.3 mM. The experimental first‐order reaction rate constant () was determined to be about 1000 times larger than the value for CO2 absorption into buffer solution reported in the reference. The was then correlated by a proposed semiempirical model and a simplified theoretical model, giving the activation energy for CO2 reacting with H2O as fitted by the simplified theoretical model in good agreement with the value of previous research. Also, the pH values and hydroxyl ion concentrations of aqueous Diethylaminoethanol (DEEA) solutions were determined at 293–313 K, with DEEA molar concentration of 0.1–0.4 M and CO2 loading of 0–0.626 mol/mol. In addition, the observed first‐order reaction rate constant (
k0_DEEA) of binary DEEA‐H2O solution with DEEA molar concentration of 0.1–0.4 M reacting with CO2 was determined at 293–313 K. It should be pointed out that the kinetic experiments of CO2 absorption into DEEA solution was done with the molar ratio of DEEA to CO2 fixed at 20. The values of
k0_DEEA were then fitted and predicted by four models (i.e., termolecular model, base‐catalyzed model, the improved model, and Khalifah model). The results show the improved model and Khalifah model can predict
k0_DEEA well with an average absolute relative difference (AARD) <5%. The predicted results indicate that the contribution of OH− to
k0_DEEA cannot be ignored for the absorption of CO2 into tertiary amine solutions, and could be responsible for 50–70% of the total absorption reaction rate. Furthermore, the
k0 value of CO2 absorption into aqueous triethanolamine and CO2‐loaded DEEA solution were further investigated and comprehensively discussed, suggesting that both
pK
a and the CO2 solubility affect
k0, with
pK
a having a much more significant effect. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: 652–661, 2019

Published: November 2018

We report a general chemical approach to synthesize strongly ferromagnetic rare‐earth metal (REM) based SmCo and SmFeN nanoparticles (NPs) with ultra‐large coercivity. The synthesis started with the preparation of hexagonal CoO+Sm2O3 (denoted as SmCo‐O) multipods via decomposition of Sm(acac)3 and Co(acac)3 in oleylamine. These multipods were further reduced with Ca at 850 °C to form SmCo5 NPs with sizes tunable from 50 to 200 nm. The 200 nm SmCo5 NPs were dispersed in ethanol, and magnetically aligned in polyethylene glycol (PEG) matrix, yielding a PEG‐SmCo5 NP composite with the room temperature coercivity (Hc) of 49.2 kOe, the largest Hc among all ferromagnetic NPs ever reported, and saturated magnetic moment (Ms) of 88.7 emu g−1, the highest value reported for SmCo5 NPs. The method was extended to synthesize other ferromagnetic NPs of Sm2Co17, and, for the first time, of Sm2Fe17N3 NPs with Hc over 15 kOe and Ms reaching 127.9 emu g−1. These REM based NPs are important magnetic building blocks for fabrication of high‐performance permanent magnets, flexible magnets, and printable magnetic inks for energy and sensing applications.

Two complexes [MnL2 (H2O)2]·2ClO4 (complex 1) and [CuL(H2O)3]·2NO3 (complex 2) (where L = 3,5‐bis(1‐imidazoly) pyridine) were designed and synthesized. The structures of the complexes were characterized by X‐ray crystallography, elemental analyses, and infrared spectrum. The interaction capacity of the complexes with calf thymus DNA has been investigated by UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Gel electrophoresis assay demonstrated the ability of the complexes to cleave the pBR322 plasmid DNA. Efficient binding properties of DNA were established by UV–vis, fluorescence, and gel electrophoresis. The intrinsic binding constants (Kb) were calculated to be 0.1524, 0.1041 for complexes 1–2, respectively. The cytotoxic activity of the two complexes exhibited a higher cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines and lower cytotoxicity toward the normal cell lines. Flow cytometry demonstrated the cancer cell inhibitory rate of two complexes. Furthermore, computer‐aided molecular docking studies were performed to visualize the binding mode of the drug candidate at the molecular level. Interestingly, complex 1 exhibited a significant cancer cell inhibitory rate than cisplatin and other complexes.
Actin Microridges
Authors: Depasquale Joseph A.
Published: November 2018

Microridges are highly distinctive “fingerprint”‐patterned structures situated on the outer surface of superficial layer cells of the epithelium. An F‐actin‐based cytoskeleton is the underlying core structural component of microridges. The basis for much of what is known about microridges has been provided by in vivo and in vitro fish epithelial systems. Nonetheless the microridge literature is quite small, especially when compared with other actin‐based cellular structures such as those involved in cell motility. A PubMed search of the terms “Microridges” yields 261 citations from the mid‐1970s to the writing of this review. “Microplicae,” an alternative name for microridges, and “Actin Microridges” search terms give 204 and 8 references, respectively, in the same time period. By comparison a search of “Lamellipodia” over the same time period yields over 6,400 citations for this important motility structure while a search of the associated “filopodia” results in close to 7,300 articles. Despite the near‐ubiquity of microridges in epithelia across species the study of these structures has clearly been neglected. In‐depth analysis of microridge molecular composition is very limited while their function remains unclear. This review draws upon information derived from studies of fish as well as mammalian species to provide a more comprehensive view of these structures. The wide‐spread distribution of these structures between species and various tissues indicate the microridges have important and common functions in healthy organisms. Conversely, disease conditions may show alterations in microridge structure and function and thus warrant further investigation. Anat Rec, 301:2037–2050, 2018. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
