Relaxation Processes of Solid Polymer Hydrogen Fuel Cells Batteries and Estimating of Their Diagnostic Properties
Authors: Никишин Т.П. , Денисов Е.С. , Адъютантов Н.А.
Published: September 2024

В работе рассматриваются релаксационные процессы в батареях водородных топливных элементов с твердым полимерным электролитом, вызванные ступенчатым изменением тока нагрузки. Показано, что рассматриваемый релаксационный процесс можно представить в виде суммы мгновенного скачка напряжения и затухающей функции времени. Релаксационный процесс в начальный момент времени может быть описан экспоненциальной математической моделью и представлен в виде эквивалентной RC-цепи первого порядка. Экспериментально показано, что релаксационные процессы зависят от величины тока нагрузки и изменяются по мере деградации батареи водородных топливных элементов. Установлено, что релаксационные характеристики отражают особенности протекания физико-химических процессов внутри топливных элементов с твердым полимерным электролитом. Параметры математической модели и эквивалентной электрической цепи отражают изменение характерных особенностей релаксационных процессов и могут рассматриваться в качестве диагностических признаков. Метод диагностики, основанный на анализе параметров релаксационных процессов, может использоваться как альтернатива импедансной спектроскопии для систем реального времени, поскольку для его реализации требуется меньшие вычислительные и временные затраты.

The paper considers relaxation processes in hydrogen fuel cell stacks with a solid polymer electrolyte caused by a stepwise change of the load current. It is shown that the relaxation process under consideration can be represented as the sum of the instantaneous voltage jump and the damping time function. The relaxation process at the initial moment of time can be described by an exponential mathematical model and presented in the form of an equivalent first-order RC-circuit. It has been experimentally shown that relaxation processes depend on the magnitude of the load current and change during the hydrogen fuel cell stack degrades. It was determined that the relaxation characteristics reflect the features of physicochemical processes inside fuel cells with a solid polymer electrolyte. The parameters of the mathematical model and the equivalent electric circuit reflect a change in the characteristic properties of relaxation processes and can be considered as diagnostic feature. A diagnostic method based on the analysis of the parameters of relaxation processes can be used as an alternative to impedance spectroscopy for real-time systems, since its implementation requires less computational and time costs.
Applying the principles of green chemistry to achieve a more sustainable polymer life cycle
Authors: Kerton Francesca
Published: September 2024

This mini-review highlights how many of the principles of green chemistry can be used to make polymers more sustainable. The use of renewable feedstocks has grown enormously in recent years including use of bio-derived monomers and modifications of natural polymers such as carbohydrates. Polymers are also being designed to allow entry into the circular economy especially where triggered depolymerization (e.g. catalytic recycling to monomer) can occur, which can allow easy separation from other plastics in a mixed waste stream. Computational studies and reaction monitoring are useful in identifying and understanding reactivity trends for polymer synthesis and degradation. Solvent-free reactions, including mechanochemistry, can be employed to reduce process mass intensity and environmental impacts. Use of standard polymer degradation conditions (e.g. ISO standards) and life cycle assessments, in particular hot spot analyses, should be encouraged in order to accelerate progress in this important field.

Authors: Kovalov Maksym , Vashchenko Bohdan
Published: September 2024

In this review, we discuss the use of the nitrile function in the synthesis of cyclic sulfonamides (sultams), an important class of antibiotics The cyano group is a versatile building block in sultam synthesis. It can form the sultam and sulton skeleton or activate adjacent positions. Commonly, the nitrile group undergoes the CSIC reaction, acting as an electrophilic center attacked by a carbanion, forming enamines. Nitriles also facilitate α-position substitutions through alkylation or cyclization and activate unsaturated bonds in various cycloadditions. Literature indicates the nitrile group, as a methyleneamine precursor, shows promise for sultam synthesis. This method could efficiently produce spirocyclic sultams with applications in chemistry and biology.

Published: September 2024

Merging electrochemistry with asymmetric C−H activation has proven as an advantageous alternative to prepare valuable enantiopure molecules. However, established methods require a stoichiometric use of supporting electrolytes to promote electron transfer in solution and often additionally serve as a base to assist C−H bond cleavage, which are hazardous and would produce additional waste. Herein, we described an exogenous electrolyte- and base-free electrocatalytic atroposelective C–H annulation, providing facile and sustainable access to N–N axially chiral isoquinolinones in excellent enantioselectivities and good yields. This protocol is enabled by a combination of simple Co(OAc)2·4H2O and readily available chiral salicyloxazoline (Salox), proceeds well with 13 classes of alkynes, and tolerates a wealth of functional groups for streamlined transformations.

Published: September 2024

Characterization of metal centers in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is critical for rational design and further understanding of structure-property relationships. The local structure of Zr atoms is challenging to properly elucidate in many Zr-MOFs, particularly when local disorder is present. Static 91Zr solid-state NMR spectra of the seven zirconium MOFs UiO-66, UiO-66-NH2, UiO-67, MOF-801, MOF-808, DUT-68 and DUT-69 have been acquired at high magnetic fields of 35.2 T and 19.6 T, yielding valuable information on the local structure, site symmetry, and order about Zr. 91Zr NMR is very sensitive to differences in MOF local structure caused by guest molecules, linker substitution, and post-synthetic treatment. Complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations assist in the interpretation and assignment of 91Zr solid-state NMR spectra, lend insight into structural origins of 91Zr NMR parameters and enable determination of local Zr coordination environments. This approach can be extended to many other materials containing zirconium.

Published: September 2024

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is highly aggressive and difficult to treat, necessitating the development of new therapies. Photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) has emerged as a promising method, where biologically active compounds are “caged” into inactive prodrugs, and re-activated by visible light irradiation at the tumor site, potentially offering more patient-friendly treatments without compromising antitumor efficacy. In this study, we investigated the activity of a series of ruthenium-based PACT compounds [1](PF6)2-[3](PF6)2 in U-87MG glioblastoma cells, a common in vitro model for glioblastoma, and the safety of these compounds in SH-SY5Y cells, which is a recognized model for healthy neurons. The action of these compounds was compared to that of Donepezil, a known acetylcholinesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of brain disorders. Promising light-activated anticancer activity was observed in U-87MG cells for [3](PF6)2 while the two other compounds were inactive([1](PF6)2) or non-activated ([2](PF6)2). In non-cancerous SH-SY5Y cells the light-activated complexes surprisingly enhanced cell proliferation in a manner similar to Donepezil. While significantly higher amounts of Ru were found in SH-SY5Y cells upon green light irradiation, in particular for [3](PF6)2, this cell proliferation effect was independent from ruthenium cellular uptake. Given the importance of Ca2+ levels for the normal function of neurons, we also examined Ca2+ accumulation upon treatment with ruthenium and light. Increased Ca2+ uptake was found in cells treated with inactivated [1](PF6)2 , [2](PF6)2 , or with green light only. Upon treatment with [3](PF6)2 intracellular Ca2+ content was not changed in the dark but it significantly increased upon light activation, without observable sign of cell death. The structure-dependent action of the ruthenium compounds on Ca2+ homeostasis suggested a docking studies with the NMDA, serotonin, and AMPA receptors, which all act on calcium levels. Docking revealed that [3](PF6)2 interacts with the NMDA receptor, which might be responsible for the enhanced Ca2+ uptake upon light activation in SH-SY5Y cells. Overall, although [3](PF6)2 was phototoxic to U-87MG cells, the combination of this prodrug and green light irradiation enhanced the survival of neuronal-like cells and increased intracellular Ca2+ levels, probably via interaction with the NMDA receptor. These findings highlight the potential of ruthenium-based PACT prodrugs in treating glioblastoma cells while maintaining the viability of nearby, healthy neuronal cells

Published: September 2024

This study explores the intricacies of translating contemporary English and Arabic audiovisual content, especially cultural-specific-items (CSI) on issues of race, gender, religion, customs, ecology, and colloquialism. The investigation focuses on comparing the different translation techniques related to cultural concepts in the genre of popular fiction. To fulfill that aim, four films (two originally in English and two originally in Saudi Arabic) featured on online streaming platform (Netflix-MENA) are chosen: Rustin (2023), Angels and Demons (2009), Raven song (2022), and The Tambour of Retribution (2020). Those four films are under the category of "trending in Saudi Arabia"; consequently, they comply with the Saudi context. The main objective is to identify the overall translation strategy used in film subtitling. Accordingly, to evaluate the strategy in line with the general vision of Saudi Arabia 2030. Results show that the translation strategy of foreignization is used when subtitling English films. Thus, preserving Western culture in the linguistic features of the subtitles. While the translation strategy of domestication is used when subtitling Saudi films. Eventually, losing the local Saudi culture in the linguistic features of the English subtitles. Consequently, the current research shed lights on the importance of maintaining the foreignization strategy when subtitling Saudi films to assure that local Saudi culture is received by the English-speaking audience all over the world.

Stroke is among the most common causes of death and disability worldwide. More than 12 million people suffer from a stroke every year, 4 million of whom develop an aphasia. Aphasia is a language disorder that affects up to 0.6% of the global population. Broca’s aphasia is a form of aphasia that affects the ability to articulate speech, but not the ability to understand it. It has a negative impact on the mental health and quality of life of people who suffer from it. Patients may suffer from communication difficulties in daily life. A tool to help patients with aphasia in their daily communication could be useful. In this scope, our contribution in this paper is twofold. First, we propose a method to convert correct French sentences into sentences containing errors that could have been produced by aphasic people. For that, we use lexical errors produced by ChatGPT. We use this method to create a synthetic parallel corpus of French sentences and their Broca’s aphasia equivalents. Second, we propose a transformer-based translation model to map aphasic sentences back to their correct form. Our model is trained on the synthetic parallel corpus and achieves a BLEU score of 79.61. Keywords: aphasia · inclusion · neural machine translation.

Authors: Liu Rongfang
Published: September 2024

Objective: To observe the effects of remimazolam benzenesulfonate combined with alfentanil during painless gastroenteroscopy in elderly patients. Methods: This study analyzes patients aged 60–85 years old undergoing painless gastroenteroscopy. A total of 140 patients, examined between February 2023 and February 2024, voluntarily participated and were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. The control group received alfentanil combined with propofol for anesthesia, while the experimental group received alfentanil combined with remimazolam benzenesulfonate. The relevant indices of both groups were separately analyzed. Results: Patients in the experimental group had a shorter awakening time, a faster discharge rate (P < 0.05), and a shorter examination duration; however, the difference in examination time between the two groups was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). Before anesthesia, there was no significant difference in the basic information and vital signs of the two groups (P > 0.05). Two minutes after anesthesia, both groups showed a decline in vital signs, but the vital signs of the experimental group remained more stable after the procedure, with the group’s indices showing improvement over the control group (P < 0.05). Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was lower than in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: In painless gastroenteroscopy for elderly patients, anesthesia using a combination of remimazolam benzenesulfonate and alfentanil improves anesthesia effectiveness, hastens patient recovery, enhances the stability of vital signs, and effectively controls adverse reactions, thereby improving patient comfort.

Published: September 2024

A perspectiva de promoção à saúde, presente nas políticas públicas, prevê a garantia de conhecimentos para além do cuidado de si, assim, ela parte de uma compreensão que coloca no centro do debate o papel do Estado e dos sujeitos coletivos. Nestes termos, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender como dirigentes de educação e saúde dos municípios do território do Médio Sudoeste da Bahia se apropriam das orientações oficiais do Programa Saúde na Escola para desenvolverem ações educativas que promovam a saúde nas escolas dos seus municípios. Como aporte teórico-metodológico, utilizou-se do Ciclo de Políticas, postulado por Ball e Bowe (1992), com ênfase no Contexto da Prática,  cuja abordagem foi qualitativa e os dados produzidos mediante aplicação de questionários que foram analisados por evidências (Yin, 2015). Os resultados apontam que o trabalho em conjunto, dos setores da educação e saúde, aparece como estratégia eficiente para o planejamento e o desenvolvimento da saúde da população, embora este tenha sido um ponto que ainda aparece com certa fragilidade em alguns dos municípios estudados. Além disso, evidenciaram a ausência de uma formação específica dos grupos de trabalho que considere a intersetorialidade e a promoção à saúde como elementos norteadores de ações coletivas. Desse modo, os resultados corroboraram a indispensabilidade do protagonismo das ações intersetoriais para a promoção da saúde.

Authors: Warren Eric , E. Hamby James , Norris Stephen , D.K. Petraco Nicholas
Published: September 2024

Over a period of 30 years, a number of fired GLOCK cartridge
cases have been evaluated. A total of 3156 GLOCK firearms
were used to generate a sample of the same size. Our
research hypothesis was that no cartridge cases fired from different
9 mm semiautomatic GLOCK pistols would be mistaken
as coming from the same gun (a false match). Using optical
comparison microscopy, two separate experiments were carried
out to test this hypothesis. A subsample of 617 test-fired
cartridge cases were subjected to algorithmic comparison
by the Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS). The
second experiment subjected the full set of 3,156 cases to
manual comparisons using traditional pattern matching. None
of the cartridge cases were “matched” by either of these two
experiments. Using these empirical findings, an established
conservative Bayesian probability model was used to estimate

the chance that a 9 mm cartridge case, fired from a GLOCK,
could be mistaken as coming from the same firearm when in
fact it did not (i.e., the false match probability).

During the modernization of the higher education system, the problem of increasing the competitiveness of university teachers is being actualized, within which a special place is occupied by the development of digital skills by each teacher interested in forming a successful professional strategy. The subject of the study is the competitive strategies of Russian university teachers implemented in the context of digitalization of education. The purpose of the work is to assess the impact of digitalization on the professional activities of university teachers and highlight the main competitive strategies of teachers to improve their digital competence. The empirical basis of the study is based on data from sociological surveys of university teachers on the problems of digitalization of the educational process conducted within the framework of the HSE project "Monitoring the Economics of Education". The study revealed that the mechanism of accelerated digitalization of higher education, launched during the coronavirus pandemic, is currently being actively implemented in various formats, and one of the main factors of successful digitalization of universities is ensuring the professional competence of teachers. Depending on the level and quality of the formed digital competencies, as well as the degree of involvement in the digitalization process, three main competitive strategies of teachers are identified: basic, advanced and specialized. It is shown that the main obstacle to the successful implementation of competitive strategies in the field of digitalization is the lack of effective mechanisms in universities for organizing and stimulating the activities of teachers in the development of digital technologies. It is concluded that it is necessary to develop and implement management mechanisms to ensure a high level of digital competitiveness of teachers and increase their involvement in the process of changes taking place in higher education at the present stage.
Methods for solving ill-conditioned systems of linear algebraic equations that improve the conditionality
Authors: Leonov A. S.
Published: September 2024

The problem of solving systems of linear algebraic equations (SLAE) with an ill-conditioned or degenerate exact matrix and an approximate right-hand side is considered. A scheme for solving such a problem is proposed and justified, which makes it possible to improve the conditionality of the SLAE matrix. As a result, an approximate solution that is stable to perturbations of the right-hand side is obtained with a higher accuracy than when using some other methods. The scheme is implemented by an algorithm that uses minimal pseudoinverse matrices. The results of numerical experiments are presented, confirming the theoretical provisions of the article.
