ABSTRACTBackgroundThe indications for pediatric airway endoscopy are expanding and a variety of therapeutic interventions are feasible for central airway obstruction (CAO) and other central airway pathologies, apart from foreign body removal.MethodsIn this retrospective chart review from four centers, we describe the indications, procedures, outcomes, and complications of therapeutic bronchoscopic interventions in children for non foreign‐body removal indications.ResultsA total of 72 children (mean age:140 [60.4] months) underwent 143 therapeutic bronchoscopic airway interventions under general anesthesia, via a rigid or flexible bronchoscope or both, between January 2015 and November 2023. 67 (93%) had CAO. The most common diagnoses were posttubercular tracheobronchial stenosis (29%) followed by central airway tumor (26%) and postintubation/posttracheostomy tracheal stenosis (26%). Airway stenosis (subglottic/tracheal/bronchial) was the commonest bronchoscopic finding (43 [59.7%]) followed by endoluminal growth/mass (21 [29.2%]). The most frequently performed procedure was airway dilatation (38, 52.7%), using balloon dilators (89.5%) or rigid bronchoscope (10.5%). Endoluminal tumor debulking was performed in 21 (29%). Assistive modalities included electrocautery (44%), mechanical debulking (10%), cryotherapy (10%), or laser (4%). Airway stent insertion alone or in combination with airway dilatation or debulking was performed in 24 (33.3%) children. The airway conduit used was supraglottic airway in 19 (26%) and rigid bronchoscope in 53 (74%) children. Immediate procedural success was observed in 66 (92%) patients. Fourteen (19.4%) patients had minor procedural complications. Thirty‐three (46%) children required a repeat bronchoscopic procedure.ConclusionLike adults, multimodality therapeutic bronchoscopic airway interventions are feasible and safe in children for CAO and other central airway indications.
Rank‐Based EWMA TBEA Control Chart
Authors: Figueiredo Fernanda Otilia , Castagliola Philippe , Malela‐Majika Jean‐Claude 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTRecently, considerable attention has been paid to the development of time between events and amplitude (TBEA) control charts. Almost all existing TBEA charts are of a parametric type. Parametric TBEA charts have the disadvantage of being very sensitive to deviations from the distributional assumptions and to the estimation of the process nominal parameters. This emphasizes the importance of developing nonparametric (or distribution‐free) TBEA control charts. In this paper, a new distribution‐free exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) TBEA control chart based on the rank statistic, denoted as rank‐based EWMA TBEA chart, for simultaneously monitoring the time interval between successive occurrences of an event and its magnitude is proposed. This chart is an extension of the sign EWMA TBEA chart and uses a statistic close to the Wilcoxon Mann–Whitney statistic. The run length properties of the new TBEA chart are obtained by Markov‐chain techniques, and some numerical comparisons with other competing charts reveal its promising performance. An illustrative example is also provided to demonstrate the application and the implementation of the proposed TBEA control chart using real‐world data.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTDespite extensive research on energy justice, little has been written about whether scholarly discourse on energy justice has translated into public social media discourse. This paper addresses this gap by examining Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG7) communications on social media. To date, this study is the first research utilizing social network analysis (SNA) and computational methods to examine social justice messaging related to SDG7 on Twitter (currently known as X) and identify central topics associated with SDG7 communications. The data used include 6059 tweets containing “#sdg7,” resulting in a hashtag co‐occurrence network with 2769 nodes and 22,667 edges. It shows that while related SDG goals, like Goal 3 on good health and well‐being, and themes, such as solar energy and African energy issues, are often discussed alongside SDG7, justice‐related issues like racial justice and important transition perspectives, such as energy justice or just transitions, are less frequently linked to it in the Twitter sphere. The findings suggest a need to better integrate justice topics into SDG7 conversations to shape more inclusive and impactful energy policies.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTThe projected global population increase to 8.60 billion by 2050 and 11.20 billion by 2100 underscores the urgent need for sustainable solutions to secure essential food resources, particularly protein, for human health. Traditional animal‐based proteins, while nutritionally rich, are environmentally costly due to greenhouse gas emissions, extensive land use, and significant freshwater consumption. This review offers novel insights by systematically analyzing alternative protein sources—plant‐based proteins, single‐cell proteins, insect proteins, cultured meat, and duckweed. These alternatives are evaluated for their capacity to meet global protein demand while reducing environmental impact, aligning with key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including zero hunger, clean water, and climate action. The analysis reveals that alternative proteins can reduce resource consumption by up to 70% compared to traditional animal‐based proteins, while simultaneously offering comparable nutritional benefits. However, challenges such as production scalability, regulatory hurdles, and limited consumer acceptance persist. To address these, we propose an integrative roadmap involving policy innovation, public engagement, and enhanced technological interventions. This study uniquely contributes to the discourse by synthesizing cross‐disciplinary evidence on alternative proteins and their role in advancing sustainable food systems, offering actionable pathways for achieving global food security and environmental sustainability.

Published: December 2024

AbstractTo achieve a balance between the high energy performance and the enhanced safety in mixed explosives, two mixed explosive formulations based on CL‐20 and NTO were designed, and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and fluoroelastomer (F2603) were selected as binders, respectively. A molecular dynamics simulation of the CL‐20/NTO/binder system was conducted, and CL‐20/NTO‐based PBXs were prepared via the water suspension method. The properties of the CL‐20/NTO‐based PBX were subsequently investigated. The results indicated that the binding energy (Ebind) and cohesion energy density (CED) between CAB and CL‐20/NTO were superior to the interactions observed between F2603 and the explosives. Furthermore, the morphology of powder particles in the CL‐20/NTO‐based PBX, utilizing both binder systems, yielded particles that were more intact, exhibiting ellipsoidal or globular shapes with uniform sizes. The activation energy of the PBXs prepared with the CAB binder system increased by 56.25 kJ·mol⁻¹ compared to that of CL‐20, and were 6.11 kJ·mol⁻¹ higher than that prepared with the F2603 binder system, indicating the improved thermal stability of the CAB PBX. With the same composition of CL‐20 and NTO, the CAB binder system demonstrated a higher detonation velocity, thus providing better energy performance. Slow cook‐off test of the PBX using the CAB system at a heating rate of 2 K/min exhibited a combustion response level, whereas the F2603 system displayed the explosion behavior, suggesting that the CAB PBX system possesses superior insensitivity. Additionally, the influence of varying pressure and temperature on the formability of CL‐20/NTO‐based PBX under both binder systems was studied to enhance data support for the preparation of high‐energy, blunt explosives.

AbstractMultilateral electrophysical and electrochemical studies of new composite materials PANI@GO, Ni‐PANI@GO, and Mn‐PANI@GO were carried out in comparison with GO and PANI monomaterials. The samples were characterized by using complementary techniques such as SEM, EDX, PXRD, XPS, FT‐IR, Raman, and UV–vis spectroscopy. Frequency dependences of complex resistance, dielectric permittivity, and conductivity of bulk samples of PANI@GO composite were investigated. The dielectric constant at low frequencies is quite high in composite samples, and it is 6244, 3887, 17802, for PANI@GO, Ni‐PANI@GO, Mn‐PANI@GO, respectively. It was shown from Motta–Shottky plots that the studied materials exhibit n‐type conductivity. The values of the flat band potential, ranged from −1.87 to −0.27 V. When metals are added to the composite, the flat band potential shifts towards more negative values, and the concentration of charge carriers decreases.

AbstractThe rapid catalytic conversion toward polysulfides is considered to be an advantageous approach to boost the reaction kinetics and inhibit the shuttle effect in lithium‐sulfur (Li─S) batteries. However, the prediction of high catalytic activity Li─S catalysts has become challenging given the carelessness in the relationship between important electronic characteristics of catalysts and catalytic activity. Herein, the relationships between the D‐band regulation of catalysts with reaction kinetics toward polysulfides are described. Through the combination of experimental and theoretical analysis, the opportune upward shift of the D‐band center results in a favorable interaction with polysulfides, controlling the adsorption behavior of polysulfides. In addition, the electron regulation achieved by moderately moving up the D‐band center further reduces the reaction energy barrier through hybridization with polysulfides. Based on this, a composite catalyst Mo doped VS2/rGO as a host material is proposed, which provides impressive long‐term cycling stability and superior rate performance. This fundamental knowledge of the inherent connection between the D‐band center of the catalyst and the reaction Kinetics of polysulfides offers a rationale for the development of the Li─S catalyst and the modification of its activity.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThe ocean wave energy is considered one of the most promising forms of marine blue energy due to its vast reserves and high energy density. However, traditional electromagnetic power generation technology suffers from drawbacks such as high maintenance costs, heavy structures, and low conversion efficiency, which restricts its application range. The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) uses Maxwell displacement current as its internal driving force, which can efficiently convert irregular, low‐frequency, and dispersed mechanical energy into electrical energy. The generator utilizes the coupling effect between contact electrification and electrostatic induction, showing the significant advantages of light weight, high cost effectiveness, and easy expansion. Compared with traditional mechanical energy harvesting techniques such as electromagnetic generators, triboelectric nanogenerators exhibit higher efficiency and output performance in the low‐frequency range. Thus, wave power generation technology based on triboelectric nanogenerators has emerged as a highly potential alternative in this field. Herein, recent progress to summarize the latest advancements in TENG‐based ocean wave energy capture is reviewed. More importantly, the actual progress of TENG with different structures in wave energy harvesting is discussed, providing an overview of the current research status in this field for relevant researchers.

Landslide Dam Studies in Uttarakhand, India: Past, Present and Future
Authors: Joshi Shivani , Siva Subramanian Srikrishnan 
Published: December 2024

AbstractA landslide dam is a natural hazard that results from a landslide of any type whose runout and interaction with local topography and relief deposits it to form a barrier or dam that can hold back river water in the upstream region. The water held behind the dam forms a lake upstream and risks breaching at any moment due to the unconsolidated landslide material. When this dammed lake is breached, it increases the risk of flash floods called Landslide Lake Outburst Floods (LLOF) in the downstream region, posing significant risks to infrastructure and livelihood. LLOFs are prevalent hazards in mountainous regions globally, including the seismically active Himalayas. The northwestern Indian Himalayas (Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand) are particularly susceptible to landslides and landslide dams due to weak, sheared bedrock and confined river valleys. This review critically evaluates the current knowledge on landslide dams in Uttarakhand, India. While paleo landslide dam and LLOF assessments are common, proactive monitoring and hazard mitigation strategies remain limited. Here, we comprehensively review historical and contemporary landslide dams in Uttarakhand, categorising existing research methodologies into past, present, and future studies. Past studies primarily focus on paleolakes formed after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and employ various dating techniques for reconstruction. The present studies discuss the landslide dams from 1857 to the present and analyse the most affected catchments, districts, months of occurrence, and the dominant landslide types. Future studies review the utilisation of geospatial technology, numerical modelling, and machine learning algorithms to determine the formation and stability of landslide dams. This comprehensive review of historical, ongoing, and future research on landslide dams in Uttarakhand sheds light on these dynamic natural threats. By deepening our understanding, we aim to empower the development of robust mitigation strategies, ultimately contributing to the enhanced disaster preparedness, risk reduction, and effective mitigation measures in the region.

Published: December 2024

AbstractUnderstanding how individuals perceive and respond to the impact of diverse hazards such as landslides is crucial in effective disaster risk management. This is particularly significant in areas like Teziutlán, Puebla, Mexico, where landslides have historically occurred. This study aimed to understand the perception of landslide risk among students in this area. The research methodology involved identifying a school near landslide-prone areas and conducting a risk perception survey. The survey assessed students’ perceptions of landslide risk, knowledge of hazards and exposure, previous experience with landslides, information and media, landslide preparedness, and communication. The data was collected through paper-and-pencil surveys. The study results can be used to improve disaster awareness and preparedness, reduce disaster risk and mitigate the impact of landslide disasters in the municipality of Teziutlán and similar mountain regions. This study is a valuable contribution to disaster risk perception and awareness literature, focusing specifically on higher education students in areas susceptible to landslides.

Experiments of Modelling Subaqueous Landslide Susceptibility in Lake Albano of Castel Gandolfo
Authors: Patera Antonio , Fabbri Andrea G. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractOur modelling experiments aim at generating and interpreting the prediction patterns of subaqueous landslides within the Lake Albano maar, a complex volcanic depression located southeast of Rome. These patterns, which assess the possibility of future events, are based on the spatial distribution of historical landslide forms within the lake, analyzed in conjunction with continuous field values derived from high-resolution digital elevation models. To establish the mathematical framework for modelling these spatial patterns, we employed empirical likelihood ratios and utilized a fuzzy set function to integrate the spatial relationships, both in the presence and absence of landslide forms in the study area. In constructing our analysis, we deployed a high-resolution raster database to pinpoint the locations of 42 linear and 23 polygonal subaqueous landslide forms generating a digital elevation raster and deriving six topographic-surface continuous fields: aspect, digital elevation model, slope, curvature, planform, and profile. No additional information was available besides the six conditionally dependent continuous fields. Our modelling approach involved evaluating prediction patterns through sequential exclusions of individual landslide occurrences or groups, generating cross-validations with partial prediction patterns. Following comparisons of relative ranks within the prediction patterns, we conducted uncertainty analyses and geological interpretations to identify critically susceptible areas, particularly the topple scarps and landslide scarps surrounding the lower escarpment of Lake Albano. These features are situated within the context of past lahar deposits and suspected catastrophic floods, such as those documented in 398 BC, which impacted the volcanic crater of Lake Albano during Roman times. It is imperative to recognize the multi-hazard context of this region, which poses serious risks to urbanization, recreational activities, and heritage sites. Despite the reclassification of the volcanic crater from extinct to dormant, the potential for future subaqueous landslides underscores the ongoing need for proactive risk management strategies in the area surrounding Lake Albano.

Published: December 2024

AbstractWe consider the Cauchy problem for a damped Euler–Maxwell system with no ionic background. For smooth enough data satisfying suitable so-called dispersive conditions, we establish the global in time existence and uniqueness of a strong solution that decays uniformly in time. Our method is inspired by the works of D. Serre and M. Grassin dedicated to the compressible Euler system.
