Published: August 2024

Duodeno-duodenostomy (DD) has been proposed as a more physiological alternative to conventional duodeno-jejunostomy (DJ) for pancreas transplantation. Accessibility of percutaneous biopsies in these grafts has not yet been assessed. We conducted a retrospective study including all pancreatic percutaneous graft biopsies requested between November 2009 and July 2021. Whenever possible, biopsies were performed under ultrasound (US) guidance or computed tomography (CT) guidance when the US approach failed. Patients were classified into two groups according to surgical technique (DJ and DD). Accessibility, success for histological diagnosis and complications were compared. Biopsy was performed in 93/136 (68.4%) patients in the DJ group and 116/132 (87.9%) of the DD group (p = 0.0001). The graft was not accessible for biopsy mainly due to intestinal loop interposition (n = 29 DJ, n = 10 DD). Adequate sample for histological diagnosis was obtained in 86/93 (92.5%) of the DJ group and 102/116 (87.9%) of the DD group (p = 0.2777). One minor complication was noted in the DD group. The retrocolic position of the DD pancreatic graft does not limit access to percutaneous biopsy. This is a safe technique with a high histological diagnostic success rate.
Study on Thermal Runaway Behavior and Jet Characteristics of a 156 Ah Prismatic Ternary Lithium Battery
Authors: Zhang Huipeng
Published: August 2024

Ternary lithium batteries have been widely used in transportation and energy storage due to their high energy density and long cycle life. However, safety issues arising from thermal runaway (TR) need urgent resolution. Current research on thermal runaway in large-capacity ternary lithium batteries is limited, making the study of hazard indicators during the thermal runaway ejection process crucial. This study places a commercial 156 Ah prismatic battery (positive electrode material: Li(Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1)O2, negative electrode material: graphite) in a nitrogen-filled sealed container, triggering thermal runaway through lateral heating. The experimental results show that the battery’s maximum surface temperature can reach 851.8–943.7 °C, exceeding the melting point of aluminum. Temperature surge inflection points at the battery’s bottom and near the small side of the negative electrode coincide with the inflection point on the heated surface. The highest jet temperatures at three monitoring points 50 mm, 150 mm, and 250 mm above the safety valve are 356.9 °C, 302.7 °C, and 216.5 °C, respectively. Acoustic signals reveal two ejection events. The average gas production of the battery is 0.089 mol/Ah, and the jet undergoes three stages: ultra-fast ejection (2 s), rapid ejection (32 s), and slow ejection (47 s). Post-thermal runaway remnants indicate that grooves from internal jet impacts are mainly located at ±45° positions. This study provides valuable insights for the safety design of batteries and the suppression of thermal runaway propagation.
An Examination of Stream Water Quality Data from Monitoring of Forest Harvesting in the Eastern Highlands of Victoria
Authors: Bren Leon , Ryan Michael
Published: August 2024

A large data set measuring surface stream turbidity, dissolved oxygen levels, and water temperature was developed by sampling 32 rivers and streams with forested catchments at weekly intervals for between two and three years. This was in response to allegations of possible water quality impairment by forest harvesting (“logging”). Additionally, nine rivers or streams external to the forests were sampled to form a “reference set”; concern was expressed that the water quality of these may be impaired by upstream forest harvesting. An unlogged forested control catchment was selected from the data set and used as a comparator to help reduce seasonal variation. Division of the data into “logged forested catchments” and “unlogged forested catchments” allowed for us to test the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis was that there was no difference between the means of the logged and unlogged sets by a “Student’s t test of difference between means”. The null hypothesis was supported for the three parameters. There was no discernible deterioration in water quality associated with the presence of logging in the stream catchments. It was concluded that logging in this environment was not a determinant of water quality, and that the presence or absence of logging in these catchments did not affect the measured water quality. Spearman rank correlation analysis was unable to detect any statistically significant correlations between the water quality parameters, suggesting they are substantially independent measures of water quality. The monitoring showed that the small upland streams had generally good-to-excellent water quality. The water quality in these was generally better than the “reference set”—this probably reflected agriculture and cultivation in the proximity of their sampling points.

Published: August 2024

Photocatalysis is one of the most effective ways to solve environmental problems by solving pollutants. This article designed and prepared a conjugated system of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine-g-C3N4 (TAP-CN) to modify ZnO NWs. We systematically studied the photocatalytic performance of ZnO NWs modified with different ratios of TAP-CN. The results showed that 9 wt% TAP-CN-30/ZnO NWs had the best degradation effect on Rhodamine B dye. The degradation rate was 99.36% in 80 min. The excellent degradation performance was attributed to the TAP-CN conjugated system promoting photo-generated charge transfer. This work provided guidance for designing efficient composite catalysts for application in other renewable energy fields.
In-Column Dehydration Benzyl Alcohols and Their Chromatographic Behavior on Pyridinium-Based Ionic Liquids as Gas Stationary Phases
Authors: Sholokhova Anastasia Yu. , Borovikova Svetlana A.
Published: August 2024

At present, stationary phases based on ionic liquids are a promising and widely used technique in gas chromatography, yet they remain poorly studied. Unfortunately, testing of “new” stationary phases is often carried out on a limited set of test compounds (about 10 compounds) of relatively simple structures. This study represents the first investigation into the physicochemical patterns of retention of substituted (including polysubstituted) aromatic alcohols on two stationary phases of different polarities: one based on pyridinium-based ionic liquids and the other on a standard polar phase. The retention order of the studied compounds on such stationary phases compared to the standard polar phase, polyethylene glycol (SH-Stabilwax), was compared and studied. It was shown that pyridinium-based ionic liquids stationary phase has a different selectivity compared to the SH-Stabilwax. Using a quantitative structure–retention relationships (QSRR) study, the differences in selectivity of the two stationary phases were interpreted. Using CHERESHNYA software, the importance of descriptors on different stationary phases was evaluated for the same data set. Different selectivity of the stationary phases correlates with different contributions of descriptors for the analytes under study. For the first time, we show that in-column dehydration is observed for some compounds (mostly substituted benzyl alcohols). This effect is worthy of further investigation and requires attention when analyzing complex mixtures. It suggests that when testing “new” stationary phases, it is necessary to conduct tests on a large set of different classes of compounds. This is because, in the case of using ionic liquids as an stationary phase, a reaction between the analyte and the stationary phase is possible.
Designing Accurate Moment Tensor Potentials for Phonon-Related Properties of Crystalline Polymers
Authors: Reicht Lukas , Legenstein Lukas , Wieser Sandro , Zojer Egbert
Published: August 2024

The phonon-related properties of crystalline polymers are highly relevant for various applications. Their simulation is, however, particularly challenging, as the systems that need to be modeled are often too extended to be treated by ab initio methods, while classical force fields are too inaccurate. Machine-learned potentials parametrized against material-specific ab initio data hold the promise of being extremely accurate and also highly efficient. Still, for their successful application, protocols for their parametrization need to be established to ensure an optimal performance, and the resulting potentials need to be thoroughly benchmarked. These tasks are tackled in the current manuscript, where we devise a protocol for parametrizing moment tensor potentials (MTPs) to describe the structural properties, phonon band structures, elastic constants, and forces in molecular dynamics simulations for three prototypical crystalline polymers: polyethylene (PE), polythiophene (PT), and poly-3-hexylthiophene (P3HT). For PE, the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion are also simulated and compared to experiments. A central element of the approach is to choose training data in view of the considered use case of the MTPs. This not only yields a massive speedup for complex calculations while essentially maintaining DFT accuracy, but also enables the reliable simulation of properties that, so far, have been entirely out of reach.

Published: August 2024

Nanomaterials are widely used in several biomedical and environmental applications, due to their ideal properties. However, the synthetic and characterization procedure requires significant costs and has a negative environmental impact. Various methods are available in order to control the pre-synthesis design of the produced materials, predicting their behavior and minimizing the series of experiments. Multi-Criteria Decision-Making is proposed in this study in order to determine the best combination of the physicochemical parameters and to define the best alternative among fifteen different samples of nanostructured titanium dioxide. In particular, the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method was applied to achieve a final ranking of the available alternatives by avoiding several of the trials that would follow testing the biological effect and the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. Thus, this approach helps us to stay environmentally and ethically correct, saving time, money, and energy and also providing an optimization of the nanomaterials that are developed.
Experimental Study on Combined Microwave–Magnetic Separation–Flotation Coal Desulfurization

Published: August 2024

In order to reduce the content of sulfur and ash in coal, improve the desulfurization and deashing rates, a combined experiment method of microwave magnetic separation-flotation was proposed for raw coal. The desulfurization and deashing rates of three experiment methods, namely, single magnetic separation, microwave magnetic separation, and microwave magnetic separation–flotation, were compared. Taking the microwave magnetic separation–flotation experiment method as the main line, the effects of the microwave irradiation time, microwave power, grinding time, magnetic field intensity, plate seam width, foaming agent dosage, collector dosage, and inhibitor dosage on desulfurization and deashing were discussed, and the mechanism of microwave irradiation on magnetic separation and flotation was revealed. The results show that under the conditions of a microwave irradiation time of 60 s, a microwave power of 80% of the rated power (800 W), a grinding time of 8 min, a plate seam width (the plate seam width of a magnetic separator sorting box) of 1 mm, a magnetic field intensity of 2.32 T, a foaming agent dosage of 90 g/t, a collector dosage of 2125 g/t, and an inhibitor dosage of 1500 g/t, the desulfurization and deashing effect is the best. The desulphurization rate is 76.51%, the sulfur removal rate of pyrite is 96.50%, and the deashing rate is 61.91%. Microwaves have the characteristic of selective heating, and the thermal conductivity of organic matter in coal is greater than that of mineral. Microwave irradiation can improve the reactivity of pyrite in coal, pyrolyze pyrite into high-magnetic pyrite, improve the magnetic properties, and improve the magnetic separation effect. Therefore, microwave irradiation plays a role in promoting magnetic separation. Through microwave irradiation, the positive and negative charges in coal molecules constantly vibrate and create friction under the action of an electric field force, and the thermal action generated by this vibration and friction process affects the structural changes in oxygen-containing functional groups in coal. With the increase in the irradiation time and power, the hydrophilic functional groups of –OH and –COOH decrease and the hydrophilicity decreases. Microwave heating evaporates the water in the pores of coal samples and weakens surface hydration. At the same time, microwave irradiation destroys the structure of coal and impurity minerals, produces cracks at the junction, increases the surface area of coal to a certain extent, enhances the hydrophobicity, and then improves the effect of flotation desulfurization and deashing. Therefore, after the microwave irradiation of raw coal, the magnetic separation effect is enhanced, and the flotation desulfurization effect is also enhanced.
Rheological Property Modification of a Molten-State Polyamide through the Addition of an α-Olefin–Maleic Anhydride Copolymer
Authors: Mei Xianzhu , Do Quoc-Viet , Narita Takaaki , Yamaguchi Misaki , Yamaguchi Masayuki
Published: August 2024

The rheological properties of a polyamide (PA) resin with low crystallinity were modified by melt-mixing it with a small amount of an alternative α-olefin–maleic anhydride copolymer as a reactive compound. Because PA has a low melting point, rheological characterization was performed over a wide temperature range. Owing to the reaction between PA and the alternative α-olefin–maleic anhydride copolymer, the blend sample behaved as a long-chain branched polymer in the molten state. The thermo-rheological complexity was obvious owing to large flow activation energy values in the low modulus region, i.e., the rheological time–temperature superposition principle was not applicable. The primary normal stress difference under steady shear was greatly increased in the wide shear rate range, leading to a large swell ratio at the capillary extrusion. Furthermore, strain hardening in the transient elongational viscosity, which is responsible for favorable processability, was clear. Because this is a simple modification method, it will be widely employed to modify the rheological properties of various polyamide resins.

Published: August 2024

The future directions in leveraging real-world evidence (RWE) and real-world data (RWD) in the field of lymphoma, as compared to traditional experimental clinical trials, are poised to significantly impact research methodologies, treatment strategies, and patient care. Current methods of clinical trials involve a well-controlled design and patient selection bias. Integrating RWE and RWD with experimental clinical trials offers a multifaceted approach to understanding lymphoma and enhancing patient outcomes. In this review, we discuss how RWE has helped shape lymphoma clinical trials, and we compare and evaluate evidence obtained from real-world lymphoma studies/databases with that obtained from clinical trials. We also discuss methods for utilizing surrogate endpoints to facilitate clinical trials and expedite drug development. RWE can be leveraged to bridge the gap between data obtained from clinical trial populations and the broader patient population encountered in clinical practice, by highlighting differences in outcomes and the need for effective treatment strategies across diverse patient groups.

Published: August 2024

How rural land transfer affects the growth of non-agricultural income and the changes in its sources are important research topics. This study uses the micro-data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) spanning from 2014 to 2020 and empirically analyzes the impact of rural land transfer on the growth of non-agricultural income, based on a multi-dimensional decomposition of rural household income structure. This study found that (1) land transfer has a significant promoting effect on the growth of non-agricultural income. Transferring out land is conducive to increasing wage income and transfer income, while transferring in land compensates for the decrease in operating income by achieving a higher operating income, ultimately leading to an increase in total income. (2) The effect of land transfer on the growth of non-agricultural income is higher in the Eastern region than in the Central and Western regions. The higher the education level of family members, the greater the income-increasing effect of land transfer on farmers. (3) Mechanism analysis shows that land transfer increases farmers’ opportunities for migrant work and improves farmers’ operational efficiency, which are the main channels for the growth in non-agricultural income. This study demonstrates that land circulation will promote farmers’ income growth and prosperity through rental income, share cooperation and dividends, labor transfer and wage income, industrial chain extension and value-added income, and policy support and subsidies.
