AbstractBased on the expert consensus on parenteral and enteral nutrition support for geriatric patients in China in 2013, domestic multidisciplinary experts were gathered to summarize the new evidence in the field of elderly nutritional support at home and abroad. The 2013 consensus was comprehensively updated and upgraded to a guideline by referring to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system for grading evidence. These guidelines were divided into two parts: general conditions and common diseases. After discussion by all members of the academic group and consultation with relevant experts, 60 recommendations were ultimately established as standardized nutritional support in the field of geriatrics in China.
Gas hydrate concentration measurements on sucrose solutions using a new pilot test rig
Authors: Doubra Parisa , Naidoo Paramespri , Nelson Wayne Michael , Ramjugernath Deresh 
Published: June 2020

AbstractA new 750 cm3 pilot test rig based on the “isochoric pressure method” was designed and commissioned for the hydrate measurements to concentrate sucrose solutions. The reactor included an improved agitation system and enabled sampling of the sucrose solutions. The experimental method was validated be performing dissociation measurements for the CO2 + water system. Gas hydrate kinetic and sampling data were measured for the CO2 + sucrose solutions at sucrose concentrations between (12–60) oBrix, within the temperature range of (274.65–276.15) K and at pressures up to 3.70 MPa. Results showed that sucrose is a kinetic inhibitor. The data were modeled to obtain hydrate formation rate, storage capacity, gas consumption and apparent rate constant. Stage‐wise concentration measurements were performed with reactor conditions at 274.65 K, 3.70 MPa and 130 rpm mixer speed with liquid sample withdrawal. A final sucrose product of approximately 60 oBrix was obtained.
Collective behavior of evaporating droplets on superhydrophobic surfaces
Authors: Moradi Mehr Shiva , Businaro Luca , Habibi Mehdi , Moradi Ali‐Reza 
Published: June 2020

AbstractWe study the evaporation dynamics of multiple water droplets deposited in ordered arrays or randomly distributed (sprayed) on superhydrophobic substrates (SHP) and smooth silicon wafers (SW). The evaluation of mass of the droplets as a function of time shows a power‐law behavior with exponent 3/2, and from the prefactor of the power‐law an evaporation rate can be determined. We find that the evaporation rate on a SHP surface is slower than a normal surface for both single droplet and collection of droplets. By dividing a large droplet into more smaller ones, the evaporation rate increases and the difference between the evaporation rates on SHP and SW surfaces becomes higher. The evaporation rates depend also on the distance of the droplets which increase with increasing this distance.

Published: June 2020

AbstractCornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS), Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RSTS), and KBG syndrome are three distinct developmental human disorders. Variants in seven genes belonging to the cohesin pathway, NIPBL, SMC1A, SMC3, HDAC8, RAD21, ANKRD11, and BRD4, were identified in about 80% of patients with CdLS, suggesting that additional causative genes remain to be discovered. Two genes, CREBBP and EP300, have been associated with RSTS, whereas KBG results from variants in ANKRD11. By exome sequencing, a genetic cause was elucidated in two patients with clinical diagnosis of CdLS but without variants in known CdLS genes. In particular, genetic variants in EP300 and ANKRD11 were identified in the two patients with CdLS. EP300 and ANKRD11 pathogenic variants caused the reduction of the respective proteins suggesting that their low levels contribute to CdLS‐like phenotype. These findings highlight the clinical overlap between CdLS, RSTS, and KBG and support the notion that these rare disorders are linked to abnormal chromatin remodeling, which in turn affects the transcriptional machinery.
Drug‐eluting implants in chronic rhinosinusitis: an evidence‐based review with recommendations

Published: June 2020

BackgroundDrug‐eluting implants are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). A previous attempt to make an evidence‐based recommendation was hindered by limited evidence and experience with these implants. Since that time, the body of literature discussing drug‐eluting implants has grown rapidly. The objective of this study was to review drug‐eluting implants designed for use in the sinonasal cavity through an evidence‐based review with recommendations.MethodsA systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Review, and gray literature databases from January 1990 through February 2019 to examine drug‐eluting implants used in CRS. Benefit‐harm assessments, value judgments, and recommendations were made based on the available evidence. Study exclusion criteria included studies unavailable in English and non‐endoscopic sinus surgeries. All authors agreed on recommendations through an iterative process.ResultsThirty‐one studies were included in the final analysis. Absorbable drug‐eluting implants achieved a high aggregate grade of evidence (A), with a recommendation for their use to be considered in carefully selected patients. Nonabsorbable drug‐eluting implants were recommended against due to minimal evidence supporting clinical efficacy. Antibiotic and alternative drug‐eluting implants lack sufficient evidence for recommendations.ConclusionAbsorbable steroid‐eluting implants are recommended for carefully selected patients with CRS. Additional research to define appropriate patient selection is needed.
Fine‐Tuning the Homometallic Interface of Au‐on‐Au Nanorods and Their Photothermal Therapy in the NIR‐II Window

Published: June 2020

AbstractThe localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of plasmonic nanomaterials is highly dependent on their structures. Going beyond simple shape and size, further structural diversification demands the growth of non‐wetting domains. Now, two new dimensions of synthetic controls in Au‐on‐Au homometallic nanohybrids are presented: the number of the Au islands and the emerging shapes. By controlling the interfacial energy and growth kinetics, a series of Au‐on‐AuNR hybrid structures are successfully obtained, with the newly grown Au domains being sphere and branched wire (nanocoral). The structural variety allowed the LSPR to be fine‐tuned in full spectrum range, making them excellent candidates for plasmonic applications. The nanocorals exhibit black‐body absorption and outstanding photothermal conversion capability in NIR‐II window. In vitro and in vivo experiments verified them as excellent photothermal therapy and photoacoustic imaging agents.

AbstractThis work reports on nonisothermal degradation kinetics of polyurethane (PU)‐based powder coatings containing 1, 3, and 5%wt% vinyltrimethoxysilane functionalized Al2O3 (V‐Al2O3) nanoparticles. Thermogravimetric analysis of PU/V‐Al2O3 powder coatings with different V‐Al2O3 contents has been performed at different heating rates. Variation of activation energy (Ea) of PU/V‐Al2O3 powder coatings was modeled as a function of partial mass loss by using Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose, Ozawa–Wall–Flynn and modified Coats–Redfern isoconversional approaches. The results revealed hindered decomposition process of PU/V‐Al2O3 nanocomposite powder coatings, featured by an increase in activation energy of degradation from ∼158 for blank PU to 225, 183, and 229 kJ/mol for nanocomposites filled with 1, 3, and 5 wt% of V‐Al2O3, respectively. Likewise, pre‐exponential factor values increased for samples containing V‐Al2O3 nanoparticles compared to that of blank sample. Sestak–Berggren kinetic model appropriately captured thermal degradation behavior of PU/V‐Al2O3 nanocomposites than that of nth order decomposition kinetic reaction models.
Modeling of batch production of high vinyl styrene/butadiene copolymers for high performance tires
Authors: Rodriguez‐Guadarrama Luis 
Published: June 2020

AbstractMathematical modeling of batch production of high vinyl random styrene/butadiene copolymers in an industrial batch reactor was accomplished. Mass and energy balance equations were solved to model the nonisothermal anionic copolymerization of styrene/butadiene performed in an industrial batch reactor. The simulation model allows to predict the variation of the individual and global monomer conversion(s), temperature, pressure, and volume level of reactor with the time. Simulation model was used to determine the optimal polymerization conditions to maximize the production of a high vinyl random styrene/butadiene copolymer used in the manufacture of high performance tires.
Enhancement in electrical and thermal performance of high‐temperature vulcanized silicone rubber composites for outdoor insulating applications
Authors: Azizi Sohrab , Momen Gelareh , Ouellet‐Plamondon Claudiane , David Eric 
Published: June 2020

AbstractHigh‐temperature vulcanized silicone rubber composites are highly desirable as outdoor insulating materials due to their immense thermal and electrical performance. The aim of this work is to study the role of co‐combined fillers (modified fumed silica [MFS], titanium dioxide [TiO2], with graphene [G]) on electrical and thermal properties of silicone rubber (S) composites. The dielectric response of S/MFS_10 phr and S/TiO2_20 composites tailored with 2 phr G was characterized by broadband dielectric spectroscopy. The hybrid filler/composites were found to show higher thermal stability when 2 phr G was added. In addition, a low quantity of G filler was found to slightly increase the AC dielectric breakdown strength of the S/MFS_10 and S/TiO2_20, where an improvement of 3 and 5% was found, respectively. Several steps were observed in the thermal decomposition of the S rubber composites by thermogravimetric analysis‐Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. Our findings revealed great potentials for fabricating hybrid‐filler/silicone rubber composites with enhanced electrical and thermal properties for outdoor insulating applications.
Effect of morphology on shear viscosity for binary blends of polycarbonate and polystyrene
Authors: Tanaka Yuki , Sako Takumi , Hiraoka Tatsuhiro , Yamaguchi Misaki , Yamaguchi Masayuki 
Published: June 2020

AbstractThe structure and rheological properties of binary blends of polycarbonate (PC) and polystyrene (PS) were investigated using various PS samples with different molecular weights, namely PS1k (Mw = 1,000), PS53k (Mw = 53,000), and PS240k (Mw = 240,000). The blends with PS53k and PS240k show phase‐separated structures, whereas the blend with PS1k is miscible. The shear viscosity decreases greatly on addition of PS53k and PS240k, especially at high shear rates, which would be a great advantage at processing operations. Because the nonlinear response occurs in the small strain region for multilayered films of PC and PS240k, the origin of the significant viscosity drop for the phase‐separated system is interfacial slippage at the phase boundary.
