Published: November 2021

AbstractAll‐solid‐state design is effective to address the challenges of Lithium –organic batteries, such as the dissolution of organic electrode materials (OEMs) and the safety of the Li anode. However, previous attempts, based on carbonyl‐type OEMs failed to achieve acceptable electrochemical performance in room‐temperature all‐solid‐state Li batteries (ASSLBs). Herein, the authors report the first organodisulfide cathode, poly(trithiocyanuric acid) (PTTCA), for ASSLBs. By compositing with carbon nanotubes to enhance the electronic conductivity and using the sulfide electrolyte, Li7P3S11, to build an electrochemically favorable interface, PTTCA demonstrates an electrochemical performance superior to all the OEMs reported so far in ASSLBs at room temperature, including a reversible capacity of 410 mAh g−1, an energy density of 767 Wh kg−1, and a capacity retention of 83% after 100 cycles. It is believed that this work provides new orientation and insights for the further development of both ASSLBs and OEMs.

Published: November 2021

AbstractEstablishing cover crops (CCs) in organic systems for the upper Midwest can be a challenge due to shorter growing seasons. The aim of this systems study was to compare CC management implemented in a tilled organic system. The main crops were oat (Avena sativa L.), corn (Zea mays L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. Winter hardy (WH) or winter kill (WK) CC mixes were planted after oat, and red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) was planted into oat for the control treatment. The CCs were planted into corn (WH, WK) or after corn harvest (rye [Secale cereale L.], control). Turnip (Brassica rapa L. ssp rapa) were planted after or into soybean (6–17 kg ha–1). Main crop yields were not affected, but CCs performed poorly in corn and soybean for both fall and spring due to dense main crop canopy, dry surface soil, late harvest, and cold fall temperatures. The CC biomass production was greatest following oat because of the longer growing season but still did not establish well as the red clover control needed to be replanted both in 2018 and 2019. Photographic analyses to calculate leaf area index, ground cover, and evapotranspiration revealed few treatment differences throughout the study, which were more likely caused by weather conditions rather than differences in the WH, WK, and control management practices. These findings further demonstrate the difficulties of consistently establishing CC in corn–soybean rotations for the upper Midwest and highlight the need for developing new strategies.

AbstractUnsustainable agricultural practices deplete soil organic carbon (SOC), affecting ecosystem services, land productivity, soil health, and water quality. This study evaluated the long‐term effects of row crop (RC), agroforestry buffers (AB), grass buffers (GB), and grassed waterways (GWW) on SOC. Agroforestry buffers (grass and tree) and grass buffer treatments were established in 1997 on a corn (Zea Mays L.)–soybean (Glycine Max [L]. Merr.) rotation. Grid soil samples from 86 locations were collected in 10 transects to determine SOC at 0–10 and 10–20 cm depths. The general linear model and the generalized linear mixed model were conducted to evaluate treatment, landscape, soil depth, and series effects on SOC. Kriging interpolation was used to visualize the temporal and spatial change of SOC in the watersheds, comparing samples collected in 2000 and 1994 with samples collected in 2020. The mean SOC percentage (SOC%) in the top 10 cm depth for the RC, AB, GB, and GWW areas was 1.94, 2.19, 2.41, and 2.51%, respectively (ρ < .001). The soil depth was significant (ρ < .001) between samples from 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm. The mean SOC% among soil series showed no significant differences at the studied depths. The mean SOC% of 0–10 cm for RC, AB, and GWW were 1.85, 1.88, and 2.30% in 2000 and 1.94, 2.19, and 2.51% in 2020. The foot‐slope position had the highest (2.41%) and the summit position had the lowest SOC (2.02%) percentages. The SOC% in the RC treatment from 0–10 cm at the summit, backslope, and foot slope positions were ranked 1.83 < 2.22 < 2.31%, respectively. Perennial vegetation and undisturbed land management practices increased SOC compared with the RC areas.

AbstractPlant phenology research has surged in recent decades, in part due to interest in phenological sensitivity to climate change and the vital role phenology plays in ecology. Many local‐scale studies have generated important findings regarding the physiology, responses, and risks associated with shifts in plant phenology. By comparison, our understanding of regional‐ and global‐scale phenology has been largely limited to remote sensing of green‐up without the ability to differentiate among plant species. However, a new generation of analytical tools and data sources—including enhanced remote sensing products, digitized herbarium specimen data, and public participation in science—now permits investigating patterns and drivers of phenology across extensive taxonomic, temporal, and spatial scales, in an emerging field that we call macrophenology. Recent studies have highlighted how phenology affects dynamics at broad scales, including species interactions and ranges, carbon fluxes, and climate. At the cusp of this developing field of study, we review the theoretical and practical advances in four primary areas of plant macrophenology: (1) global patterns and shifts in plant phenology, (2) within‐species changes in phenology as they mediate species' range limits and invasions at the regional scale, (3) broad‐scale variation in phenology among species leading to ecological mismatches, and (4) interactions between phenology and global ecosystem processes. To stimulate future research, we describe opportunities for macrophenology to address grand challenges in each of these research areas, as well as recently available data sources that enhance and enable macrophenology research.

Published: November 2021

AbstractAdams–Oliver syndrome (AOS), a rare inherited disorder, is characterized by scalp and terminal limb defects. Several genes associated with Notch pathway mutations have led to AOS. Here, we report a Thai male newborn presenting with aplasia cutis congenita and absence of a right pulmonary artery, which is suggestive of AOS. This was confirmed by the identification of a novel missense mutation in DLL4, a heterozygous one base pair change at nucleotide 82 (c.82G>C, p.Gly28Arg), which is in N‐terminal domain. This is the first DLL4‐related AOS case with arterial defect.

AbstractUnder different concentrations of the base potassium deuteroxide KOD, the progress of reactions, such as enolization, D‐substitution, isomerization, and conformational changes of diketopiperazine cyclo(L‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) and cyclo(D‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) (Xxx = Phe, Tyr) in D2O solution, was investigated by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Cyclo(L‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) is mostly isomerized to cyclo(D‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) in D2O solution, whereas cyclo(D‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) is only slightly isomerized to cyclo(L‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) even under stronger basic conditions. After adding a deuterated organic solvent (CD3COCD3, CD3SOCD3 or CD3OD) to a D2O solution of cyclo(L‐Pro‐L‐Xxx), cyclo(D‐Pro‐L‐Xxx), or increasing the temperature of the D2O solution, CH‐π interaction between H9 and the benzene ring of cyclo (D‐Pro‐L‐Xxx) was stronger than that between H8α and the benzene ring of cyclo(L‐Pro‐L‐Xxx).

AbstractUsing subcooled propellant could improve the overall performance of spacecraft. In cryogenic propellant subcooling process, liquid nitrogen is the most common cold source. For methane propellant, ice blockage may occur in the propellant subcooling operation since the saturation temperature of liquid nitrogen is lower than the freezing temperature of liquid methane. In this paper, a novel anti‐freezing subcooling approach for methane propellant is proposed. By mixing light alkane such as ethane or propane into methane, a methane mixture propellant with lower freezing temperature could be prepared. To guide the propellant preparation, the working principle of the subcooling scheme is introduced, and the thermodynamic performance of the mixed propellant is analyzed. The results show that for the methane–ethane system, the lowest freezing temperature is 72.9 K when the methane mole fraction is about 0.71. Icing‐free subcooling can be achieved in a liquid nitrogen heat exchanger subcooled approach when the methane fraction is controlled within 0.54 to 0.80. For the methane–propane system, the minimum freezing temperature of 72.0 K occurs at the methane fraction of 0.68, and the non‐icing range is about 0.42–0.79. For the methane–ethane–propane ternary system, the lowest solidification temperature even reaches 63.1 K. Moreover, apparent propellant densification could be yielded by the proposed subcooling scheme. In general, the present subcooling scheme can effectively avoid the freezing risk in the methane subcooling process and also prepare a densified methane propellant, and the new scheme is beneficial for fully exploiting the potential performance of the subcooled methane propellant.

AbstractPolyacrylamide nanospheres are widely applied enhancing oil recovery polymers in low‐permeability oilfields. However, it is difficult to detect polyacrylamide nanospheres concentration in the produced fluid. In this study, fluorescent polyacrylamide nanospheres were synthesized via a reverse phase microemulsion method by the copolymerization of acrylamide and pyranine derivative. The structure, fluorescence properties, and oil displacement mechanisms of fluorescent polyacrylamide nanospheres were researched. The results indicated that the fluorescence intensity of the nanospheres had a distinct linear relationship with the concentration at a certain concentration range. The relative error of standard curve method was less than 1%. Alkaline conditions and aging process could diminish fluorescence intensity while temperature and ionic species had slightly effect on it. The oil displacement phenomenon of the nanospheres in T‐shaped microchannel, oil–water interface, and glass plate were observed clearly. This work provides support for the practical applications of fluorescent polyacrylamide nanospheres in oilfields.
Hexacoordinated Sn(IV) porphyrin‐based square‐grid frameworks exhibiting selective uptake of CO2 over N2

AbstractWe prepared porphyrin metal–organic frameworks with hexacoordinated Sn(IV) porphyrin trans‐SnX2(TPyP), where X = Cl−, OH−; TPyP = 5,10,15,20‐tetra(4‐pyridyl)porphyrinato dianion, and Cu(II) acetate, namely {[SnCl2(TPyP)]⋅[Cu(OAc)2]4}⋅4DMF⋅4H2O (1) and {[Sn(OH)2(TPyP)]⋅[Cu(OAc)2]4}⋅xSolv (2). X‐ray crystallographic analysis revealed that both materials consisted of the same square‐grid two‐dimensional (2D) sheet. The small difference in the trans‐axial ligand coordinated to the Sn(IV) center creates distinctively different packing structures. As a consequence of the Cl⋯π and Cl⋯Cl interactions between the adjacent layers in 1, squares of stacked 2D layers are well aligned, giving a single type of ordered porous channel. In contrast, adjacent 2D layers in 2 are stacked along the c‐axis with an ABAB sequence with an average delamination of 7.05 Å. The coordination network structures of both materials provide large free voids without interpenetration. Gas sorption studies showed that both porous materials exhibit 10 times higher CO2 adsorption than N2 at 273 K.

Published: November 2021

BackgroundDue to its severe negative consequences, human violence has been targeted by a vast number of studies. Yet, neurobiological mechanisms underlying violence are still widely unclear and it seems necessary to aim for high ecological validity to learn about mechanisms contributing to violence in real life.MethodsThe present functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study investigated the neurofunction of individuals with a history of violent offenses compared with that of controls using a laboratory paradigm requesting individuals to empathically engage in videos depicting provocative aggressive and positive social interactions from a first‐person perspective.ResultsThe contrast of aggressive vs. positive scenarios revealed midbrain activation patterns associated with caudal periaqueductal gray (PAG) in violent offenders; In controls, the rostral PAG was involved. Additionally, only in controls, this contrast revealed an involvement of the amygdaloidal complex. Moreover, in violent offenders the contrast of positive vs. aggressive situations revealed an involvement of areas in the insula, post‐central gyrus and anterior cingulate cortex.ConclusionsOur results support findings on the differential role of PAG subdivisions in response to threat and point to altered processing of positive social interactions in violent offenders. They further support the notion that changes in PAG recruitment might contribute to violent individuals “taking action” instead of freezing in case of threatening situations.

AbstractIntroductionRecent studies support the identification of valid subtypes within schizophrenia and bipolar disorder using cluster analysis. Our aim was to identify meaningful biotypes of psychosis based on network properties of the electroencephalogram. We hypothesized that these parameters would be more altered in a subgroup of patients also characterized by more severe deficits in other clinical, cognitive, and biological measurements.MethodsA clustering analysis was performed using the electroencephalogram‐based network parameters derived from graph‐theory obtained during a P300 task of 137 schizophrenia (of them, 35 first episodes) and 46 bipolar patients. Both prestimulus and modulation of the electroencephalogram were included in the analysis. Demographic, clinical, cognitive, structural cerebral data, and the modulation of the spectral entropy of the electroencephalogram were compared between clusters. Data from 158 healthy controls were included for further comparisons.ResultsWe identified two clusters of patients. One cluster presented higher prestimulus connectivity strength, clustering coefficient, path‐length, and lower small‐world index compared to controls. The modulation of clustering coefficient and path‐length parameters was smaller in the former cluster, which also showed an altered structural connectivity network and a widespread cortical thinning. The other cluster of patients did not show significant differences with controls in the functional network properties. No significant differences were found between patients´ clusters in first episodes and bipolar proportions, symptoms scores, cognitive performance, or spectral entropy modulation.ConclusionThese data support the existence of a subgroup within psychosis with altered global properties of functional and structural connectivity.
Value added or overload? A study of the countervailing effects of non‐core features on mobile banking apps

Published: November 2021

AbstractMobile banking apps have begun to provide non‐core functions to users, for example, mobile shopping, identifying nearby activities, and purchasing tickets as an innovation. Nevertheless, few studies have explored the negative impacts of this change (e.g., information overload and unfamiliarity associated with these new services). By developing and testing a research model with 422 questionnaires collected in China, this study aimed to examine users' psychological and behavioral aspects regarding the non‐core features of mobile banking apps by considering two countervailing constructs: appreciation and fatigue. The results show that the non‐core features of mobile banking apps affect the appreciation emotion positively and affect the fatigue emotion negatively. The different effects of the two opposing constructs on the using behavior are also discussed. This study identifies the partial complementary mediation role of lifestyle fit and function fit with the non‐core features of mobile banking apps. By presenting the necessary condition analysis, this study contributes to identifying the necessary and sufficient effects of both lifestyle fit and function fit on users' using experience evaluation. The findings suggest that, in practice, non‐core features of mobile banking apps can be used as a business strategy to influence users' choice in the mobile context.
Ten outcome measures in forensic mental health: A survey of clinician views on comprehensiveness, ease of use and relevance

AbstractBackgroundMeasurement of outcomes in forensic mental health services is essential to ensure that these services are delivering good quality care and treatment. Instruments for outcome measurement should cover all important domains, be easy to implement in a routine clinical context and facilitate transfer of relevant information between clinicians as the patient progresses along a recovery and rehabilitation pathway.AimsWe sought the views of clinicians on 10 common instruments used as outcome measures in forensic mental health services, especially on their perceived comprehensiveness and ease of use.MethodsAn online survey was used to gather the views of clinicians from a range of professional backgrounds working in forensic mental health services in the United Kingdom. The selected instruments were identified from a previous systematic review of instruments for measuring outcomes in this context. Questions covered comprehensiveness, ease of use, patient involvement, relevance and use for progressing tracking and care planning.ResultsComplete responses were received from 229 individuals. The range of respondents either agreeing or strongly agreeing that individual instruments were comprehensive was 6–39%; easy to use 19%–69%; relevant 31%–78%; useful to measure progress 7–70%; and useful for care planning 33–81%. Respondents reported that, for each of the 10 instruments, full involvement of patients varied between 3% and 22%; partial involvement 12–45%, patients informed, but not involved 11%–28%; and patients not involved or informed 21%‐64%.ConclusionsThe Health of the Nation Outcome Scale Secure, the only instrument designed as an outcome measure, is not regarded by clinicians as useful in that respect and the majority of clinicians do not inform patients they are using it. Clinicians appear most familiar with the Historical Clinical Risk 20 (HCR‐20), which some respondents considered potentially useful as a progress measure but with limited patient involvement. Most respondents did not think that the HCR‐20 is comprehensive. There is a need for outcome measures that are comprehensive, easy to use and have adequate patient involvement in their development and rating.

Corrosion Inhibition of Peracetic Acid‐Based Disinfectants
Authors: Horn Helena , Niemeyer Bernd 
Published: November 2021

AbstractPeracetic acid (PAA) is a highly potent disinfectant, exhibiting an outstandingly broad spectrum of activity against various microorganisms and viruses. Nevertheless, one disadvantage when applying PAA for disinfection purposes is the strongly corrosive effect due to its oxidizing properties. The employment of a nonionic surfactant as corrosion inhibitor was evaluated in addition to adjustment of the pH value of the solution, regarding the materials aluminum, stainless steel, copper, brass, polyvinyl chloride, wood, and ceramics. Whereas unmodified PAA solution led to strong corrosive effects on the material surface, this impact was significantly lowered when the pH value was shifted to 7. When in addition a nonionic surfactant was applied, no corrosion phenomena at all were observed.
Nye Tray Versus Sieve Tray: Experimental Study on Hydrodynamic Parameters
Authors: Abbasnia Sadegh , Yu Qiming Jimmy , Nasri Zarrin , Khojasteh Ali 
Published: November 2021

AbstractThe hydrodynamic parameters of a Nye tray were investigated by performing experiments in a tower with a diameter of 1.22 m. Air was used as the gas phase and water was used as the liquid phase. A number of parameters such as the dry pressure drop, the total pressure drop, the clear liquid height, the froth height, and the entrainment were measured. A tray stability factor was obtained using the amount of weeping, the clear liquid height, the dry pressure drop, and the Froude number. All experiments were repeated for the matching sieve tray under the same conditions. Ultimately, advantages and disadvantages were compared, and the results demonstrated that the Nye tray has a couple of advantages over the sieve tray, except that the sieve tray is slightly more stable.
