Photochemically driven solid electrolyte interphase for extremely fast-charging lithium-ion batteries
Authors: Baek Minsung , Kim Jinyoung , Jin Jaegyu , Choi Jang Wook 
Published: November 2021

AbstractExtremely fast charging (i.e. 80% of storage capacity within 15 min) is a pressing requirement for current lithium-ion battery technology and also affects the planning of charging infrastructure. Accelerating lithium ion transport through the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a major obstacle in boosting charging rate; in turn, limited kinetics at the SEI layer negatively affect the cycle life and battery safety as a result of lithium metal plating on the electrode surface. Here, we report a γ-ray-driven SEI layer that allows a battery cell to be charged to 80% capacity in 10.8 min as determined for a graphite full-cell with a capacity of 2.6 mAh cm−2. This exceptional charging performance is attributed to the lithium fluoride-rich SEI induced by salt-dominant decomposition via γ-ray irradiation. This study highlights the potential of non-electrochemical approaches to adjust the SEI composition toward fast charging and long-term stability, two parameters that are difficult to improve simultaneously in typical electrochemical processes owing to the trade-off relation.

AbstractThe control of charge transfer between radical anions and cations is a promising way for decoding the emission mechanism in electrochemiluminescence (ECL) systems. Herein, a type of donor-acceptor (D-A) covalent organic framework (COF) with triphenylamine and triazine units is designed as a highly efficient ECL emitter with tunable intrareticular charge transfer (IRCT). The D-A COF demonstrates 123 folds enhancement in ECL intensity compared with its benzene-based COF with small D-A contrast. Further, the COF’s crystallinity- and protonation-modulated ECL behaviors confirm ECL dependence on intrareticular charge transfer between donor and acceptor units, which is rationalized by density functional theory. Significantly, dual-peaked ECL patterns of COFs are achieved through an IRCT mediated competitive oxidation mechanism: the coreactant-mediated oxidation at lower potential and the direct oxidation at higher potential. This work provides a new fundamental and approach to improve the ECL efficiency for designing next-generation ECL devices.

AbstractSingle-atom catalysts (SACs) have been applied in many fields due to their superior catalytic performance. Because of the unique properties of the single-atom-site, using the single atoms as catalysts to synthesize SACs is promising. In this work, we have successfully achieved Co1 SAC using Pt1 atoms as catalysts. More importantly, this synthesis strategy can be extended to achieve Fe and Ni SACs as well. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) results demonstrate that the achieved Fe, Co, and Ni SACs are in a M1-pyrrolic N4 (M= Fe, Co, and Ni) structure. Density functional theory (DFT) studies show that the Co(Cp)2 dissociation is enhanced by Pt1 atoms, thus leading to the formation of Co1 atoms instead of nanoparticles. These SACs are also evaluated under hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and the nature of active sites under HER are unveiled by the operando XAS studies. These new findings extend the application fields of SACs to catalytic fabrication methodology, which is promising for the rational design of advanced SACs.

AbstractSeveral studies report that olfactory cues play an important role in human life; humans are essentially able to recognize other family members and friends by their odors. Moreover, recent studies report that humans are also able to identify odors of non-conspecifics. The aim of this study was to determine whether dog owners are able to identify their dogs by smell and distinguish the odor of their own dogs from those of other dogs. A total of 53 dog owners (40 females and 13 males of different ages) volunteered to take part in this study. A number of the participants (17) owned 2 dogs; these owners took part in the study twice (i.e., working with only one dog at a time). Sterile gauze pads were used to collect odor samples from the dogs. Each pad was placed in its own sterile glass jar (750 ml) with a twist off lid until the experiment commenced. Participants were asked to identify their own dog´s odor from a line-up of 6 glass containers. This experiment demonstrated that dog owners are capable of identifying their dogs by smell on a significant level. Results of this study additionally suggested that male owners outperformed their female counterparts in the identification process. Moreover, dog owners whose dogs were housed outside had a higher success rate in identification than did participants who kept their dogs indoors with them. The dog owners found it easier to identify dogs that had been neutered, fed dry dog food and bathed less frequently. In general, younger dog owners tended to have more success when attempting to identify their dogs than did their older counterparts.
Production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) in an ionic liquid, 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate
Authors: Ito Ryoya , Miyafuji Hisashi 
Published: November 2021

AbstractProduction of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) using an ionic liquid, 1-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([MIM]HSO4), was investigated. 5-HMF can be produced from C. japonica at temperatures above 120 °C. The maximum yield of 5-HMF was about 9 wt% after 15 min of treatment at 160 °C. However, 5-HMF produced in this process tended to decompose as the treatment continued. To avoid decomposition and to provide a means of recovering 5-HMF from [MIM]HSO4, three reaction systems based on [MIM]HSO4 were investigated: biphasic [MIM]HSO4/organic solvent system, [MIM]HSO4 with vacuum distillation, and [MIM]HSO4 with vacuum steam distillation. The [MIM]HSO4 reaction system combined with vacuum steam distillation was most effective. The maximum yield of 5-HMF was 17.5 wt% after treatment for 45 min at 160 °C. The combination of [MIM]HSO4 treatment with vacuum steam distillation is suitable for 5-HMF production because it is a one-pot process without the need for catalysts or pretreatment.
Image quality enhancement using hybrid attention networks
Authors: Wang Jiachen , Yang Yingyun , Hua Yan 
Published: November 2021

AbstractImage quality enhancement aims to recover rich details from degraded images, which is applied into many fields, such as medical imaging, filming production and autonomous driving. Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have enabled rapid development of image quality enhancement. However, most existing CNN‐based methods lack versatility when targeting different subtasks in terms of the design of networks. Besides, they often fail to balance precise spatial representations and necessary contextual information. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes a novel unified framework for low‐light image enhancement, image denoising and image super‐resolution. The core of this architecture is a residual hybrid attention block (RHAB), which consists of several dynamic down‐sampling modules (DDM) and hybrid attention up‐sampling modules (HAUM). Specifically, multi‐scale feature maps are fully interacted with each other with the help of nested subnetworks so that both high‐resolution spatial details and high‐level contextual information can be combined to improve the representation ability of the network. Further, a hybrid attention network (HAN) is proposed and evaluations on three separate subtasks demonstrate its good performance. Extensive experiments on the authors' synthetic dataset, a more complex version, show that the authors' method achieve better quantitative and visual results compared to other state‐of‐the‐art methods.

Published: November 2021

AbstractHorizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs) are the common types used for generating energy using wind farms. For energy estimation studies, these turbines are modelled by their manufacturer Power‐Speed (P–V) curves which are usually expressed using generic equations. In the literature, several formulas are used to represent the P–V characteristics of the wind turbines. However, no substantial comparisons between the accuracy of these models are presented in the these works. The main objective here is to provide detailed comparisons between the accuracy of several P–V models, using several goodness of fit tests, such as, root mean square error (RMSE), coefficient of determination (R2), root mean biased error (RMBE) and Chi‐square (χ2) tests. Several real wind turbines (around 150 wind turbines) with their experimental data are used in this study. The results shows that the exponential model q9 has the highest correlation with respect to the manufacturer models with around (0.1) RMSE. In order to test the suitability of the estimated P–V characteristics in real applications, they have been used in estimating the energy output of four real wind farms in Jordan: Tafila, Hofa, Al Rajef, and Deahan. The estimated energy output is compared with the measured values of these wind farms. The results obtained shows a good correlation between the estimated energy output and the measured output obtained by the operators of these wind farms.
A tri-phasic continuum model for the numerical analysis of biological tissue proliferation using the Theory of Porous Media: Application to cardiac remodelling in rheumatic heart disease

Published: November 2021

This research is part of an on-going project aimed at describing the mechanotransduction of rheumatic heart disease (RHD), in order to study long-term effects of new therapeutic concepts to treat inflammatory heart diseases and ultimately, estimate their effectiveness to prevent heart failure. RHD is a condition which is mostly common amongst low-income countries and accounts for approximately 250 000 deaths per annum. The Theory of Porous Media (TPM) can represent the proliferative growth and remodelling processes related to RHD within a thermodynamically consistent framework and is additionally advantageous with application to biological tissue due to the ability to couple multiple constituents.The research presented will extend an existing biphasic TPM model for the solid cardiac tissue (solid phase) saturated in a blood and interstitial fluid (liquid phase) [1], to a triphasic model with the inclusion of a third nutrient phase towards growth. This inclusion is motivated by the reason to constrain the volume of the liquid phase within the system in response to the description of growth, which is modelled through a mass exchange between the solid phase and liquid phase within the biphasic model. Although the nutrient phase acts as a source for growth, the proposed mass supply function used to correlate the deposition of sarcomeres in relation to growth is predominantly mechanically driven and bears no connection to any biochemical constituent, which therefore renders the nutrient phase as a physiologically arbitrary quantity. However, the provision of the nutrient phase is a platform for the inclusion of known constituents which actively contribute towards growth, which may be explored in future research.The triphasic model is applied to a full cardiac cycle of a left ventricle model, extracted from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scans of patients diagnosed with RHD.

Published: November 2021

IntroductionAdenoid hypertrophy is a change in adenoid size that can lead to obstruction the Eustachian tube and become a risk factor for otitis media effusion (OME) in children. Standard objective examination of adenoid hypertrophy uses adenoid-nasopharyngeal ratio (A-N ratio) based on correct lateral skull radiography. Adenoid hypertrophy is one of the factors causing OME in children. There is still much debate about the association between A-N ratio and tympanogram width (Tw). Determining the association of A-N ratio and Tw in adenoid hypertrophy patients.MethodsParticipants performed a true lateral radiographic examination using Fujioka method to determine A-N ratio, and Tw to determine middle-ear pressure. The distance between examination of A-N ratio and tympanogram examination was at maximum of ∼1 week. The association between A-N ratio and Tw in patients with adenoid hypertrophy used the Pearson correlation test. This research employed significance levelp< 0.05.ResultsMost participants were aged between 6 and 10 years (38.10%), male patients (57.14%), and the symptom most participants complained of was snoring during sleep (38.10%). Most participants had A-N ratio of 0.53 to 0.70 (61.90%) with an average of 0.60 ± 0.05. The average value of Tw measurement was 102.83 ± 50.03 daPa (r= 0.605;p< 0.001).ConclusionThere is a significant association between A-N ratio base on true lateral radiographic examination and Tw in adenoid hypertrophy patients.

Published: November 2021

AbstractDespite advances in rectal cancer surgery, anastomotic leakage (AL) remains a common complication with a significant impact on patient recovery, health care costs, and oncologic outcomes. The spectrum of clinical severity associated with AL is broad, and treatment options are diverse with highly variable practices across the colorectal community. To be effective, the treatment must match not only the patient's current status but also the type of leak, the surgeon's skill, and the resources available. In this chapter, we will review the current and emergent treatment modalities for AL after rectal cancer surgery.
Nasal Septal Perforation Closure by “Sandwich Grafts”: Technique, Initial Results

Published: November 2021

AbstractNasal septal perforation closure represents a considerable surgical challenge. Many techniques rely on the implantation of foreign materials that pose a persisting threat of infection. The authors have identified a reliable technique closing septal perforations by an autologous “sandwich graft.” It is layered around a piece of auricular cartilage, covered with temporal fascia, thus emulating the physiological layers of the nasal septum. Finally, the prepared graft is then sewn into the perforation in an underlay technique and kept in place by septal splints for 4 weeks. The technique is easily feasible and strives to reconstruct the nasal as physiological as possible. The data obtained from a case series of 11 patients highlights the efficacy of the technique.
Impoliteness in women’s specialised writing in seventeenth-century English
Authors: Alonso-Almeida Francisco , José Álvarez-Gil Francisco 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe notion of impoliteness may not trigger prompt associations with earlier women writing, especially non-fiction, in the pre-scientific period. Evidence drawn from seventeenth-century scientific and technical writings reveals that women make use of impoliteness strategies in order to claim and delineate their place within their community of practice. In our texts, we have detected that membership to communities of practice justifies the women’s use of positive impoliteness and sarcasm devices. Interestingly, the stereotypical female weakness represents a source for sarcastic speech, as this may offer women writers a protective shield against male critical stance. Negative impoliteness seems to be potentially related to establish power relationships and position in relation to knowledge. The idea is that scientific and technical contributions should be impartially appraised without considering the sex of the author. Impoliteness appears to be a potential means of legitimising women writers’ voices.
Metaphors of cultural diversity at UNESCO
Authors: Kornblit Irit S. 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThis paper analyses metaphors and analogies ofcultural diversityat UNESCO in a discursive and rhetorical-argumentative framework, to answer the following question: How do these rhetorical devices play a legitimizing role when introducing a new keyword into the public sphere? Conventional and creative metaphors are analyzed separately to examine if they represent different legitimization strategies. Conventional metaphors and analogies include variations ontreasure, heritage, andbiodiversity; creative metaphors include cultural diversity as aliving treasureand aRainbow River. The findings suggest that thewealthmetaphor fulfills an evaluative meliorative function, while theheritagemetaphor constructs a collective identity devoid of internal conflict, thereby depoliticizing the concept of cultural diversity. Thebiodiversityanalogy further depoliticizes cultural diversity via naturalization and the invocation of the authority of science. Legitimization is also achieved by invoking past discourse and shared knowledge, and by tapping into UNESCO’s “discursive memory.” In contrast, the creative metaphorsliving treasureandRainbow Riverplay a different argumentative role: they offer a rhetorical solution of coexistence to two contradicting views on culture; one as a static, closed entity to be protected from extinction, and the other as a changing, dynamic process. They do so by fusing both views, represented by different metaphors, into one creative metaphor.
Pairing effects in nuclear pasta phase within the relativistic Thomas–Fermi formalism
Authors: Furtado U J , Avancini S S , Marinelli J R 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Pairing effects in non-uniform nuclear matter, surrounded by electrons, are studied in the protoneutron star early stage and in other conditions. The so-called nuclear pasta phases at subsaturation densities are solved in a Wigner–Seitz cell, within the Thomas–Fermi approximation. The solution of this problem is important for the understanding of the physics of a newly born neutron star after a supernova explosion. It is shown that the pasta phase is more stable than uniform nuclear matter on some conditions and the pairing force relevance is studied in the determination of these stable phases.

Abstract
The interaction of Alfvén eigenmodes (AEs) and energetic particles is one of many important factors determining the success of future tokamaks. In JET, eight in-vessel antennas were installed to actively probe stable AEs with frequencies ranging 25–250 kHz and toroidal mode numbers |n| < 20. During the 2019–2020 deuterium campaign, almost 7500 resonances and their frequencies f
0, net damping rates γ < 0, and toroidal mode numbers were measured in almost 800 plasma discharges. From a statistical analysis of this database, continuum and radiative damping are inferred to increase with edge safety factor, edge magnetic shear, and when including non-ideal effects. Both stable AE observations and their associated damping rates are found to decrease with |n|. Active antenna excitation is also found to be ineffective in H-mode as opposed to L-mode; this is likely due to the increased edge density gradient’s effect on accessibility and ELM-related noise’s impact on mode identification. A novel measurement is reported of a marginally stable, edge-localized ellipticity-induced AE probed by the antennas during high-power auxiliary heating (ion cyclotron resonance heating and neutral beam injection) up to 25 MW. NOVA-K kinetic-MHD simulations show good agreement with experimental measurements of f
0, γ, and n, indicating the dominance of continuum and electron Landau damping in this case. Similar experimental and computational studies are planned for the recent hydrogen and ongoing tritium campaigns, in preparation for the upcoming DT campaign.
The Classification of GIS Objects
Authors: Mironova Yu N 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper discusses the current issues of the application of classification and data processing in geoinformation systems. The problems of classification of various objects have been studied in the works of many authors. These include a fairly wide range of problems: decryption of satellite images, pattern recognition, mathematical modeling, etc. In this paper, we study the methods and techniques for classifying objects listed in the literature, as well as preliminary data processing: feature normalization, feature weighting, aggregation, dimensionality reduction, etc. The result of finding spatial features in an attribute space is often a representation of spatial features in the form of an object-feature matrix that reflects the measurement of M features on N spatial features and contains N rows and M columns. To classify spatial objects, you must have a geographical map of these objects and an object-attribute matrix, the rows of which correspond to the spatial objects. In order to properly classify, you need to perform pre-processing of the data, including normalization, weighting, dimensionality reduction, aggregation, and identification. After preliminary data processing, the objects are classified. The paper lists and describes such classification methods as nuclear classification methods, hierarchical divisive classification methods, hierarchical agglomerative classification methods, near neighbor method, far neighbor method, centroid method, group mean method (mean link method) and other issues related to the classification of geoinformation objects.
