ABSTRACTBackgroundSeveral studies have confirmed the safety and efficacy of robotic assisted coronary interventions for simple and complex coronary lesions. However, in the real‐world clinical setting the currently available evidence is still inconclusive with regard to clinical outcomes. In terms of financial sustainability, the emerging use of pre‐PCI Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) may potentially impact the overall patient journey and related costs. However, the role of CCTA guidance in elective robotic‐assisted revascularizations and its potential impact on hospital economics has never been investigated. Therefore, we aimed to assess the clinical impact of R‐PCI according to procedural complexity and its potential financial sustainability when integrated with CCTA guidance.MethodsMajor adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) at the latest clinical follow‐up available have been prospectively evaluated in a single center cohort of 111 patients undergoing elective R‐PCI (CorPath, Corindus GRX Robotic Drive, Boston, MA). The study population was subsequently divided into two groups according to either the median Syntax Score (SS = 14) as a surrogate of procedural complexity or the adoption of CCTA‐guidance. Additionally, both periprocedural and in‐hospital outcomes have been investigated in the overall cohort and in the subgroups.ResultsOverall, MACE occurred in 5.4% of the patients at a median follow‐up of 309 days. Procedural complexity was associated with significantly longer procedural time and radiation exposure (SS ≥ 14: 94.5 ± 32.1 vs. 78.7 ± 25.5 min, p = 0.011, and 32.7 ± 30.9 vs. 22.5 ± 19.8 mSv, p = 0.010, respectively), but not with increased in‐hospital and long‐term clinical outcomes. Additionally, patients undergoing CCTA‐guided R‐PCI had a significantly higher rate of same‐day‐discharge (SDD—64.6% vs. 44.2% respectively, p = 0.034) than those without CCTA support.ConclusionR‐PCI appears safe and effective regardless the procedural complexity. Moreover, the integration of robotics and CCTA‐guidance appears to have beneficial impact on hospital economics by optimizing resource utilization and improving patient selection for percutaneous revascularization.

ABSTRACTSemilunar valve regurgitation in single ventricular physiology is rare but portends a poor prognosis. Medical therapy is often ineffective particularly in the context of structural valve abnormality, and surgical valve repair or replacement can be associated with poor outcomes. We report an innovative use of a highly occlusive and conformable Gore Septal Occluder for transcatheter treatment of severe native aortic regurgitation in a symptomatic patient with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and severe systemic right ventricular dysfunction, resulting in safe and complete occlusion of the aortic regurgitant orifice and clinical benefit.

ABSTRACTWhen surgery is performed in patients with EB, risks of blisters and epidermal detachment are always present. The Heineke‐Mikulicz pyloroplasty cannot always be performed because of anatomical constraints. In such cases, it is necessary to select a more time‐consuming surgical procedure (i.e., Roux‐en‐Y gastrojejunal anastomosis) with adequate fluid management.

Published: December 2024

AbstractNanozymes are a class of artificially synthesized enzymes that aim to overcome the limitations of natural enzymes, such as their susceptibility to denaturation and high production costs and are found to possess multiple enzyme activities over the natural enzymes that can be adopted for multi‐feature biomedical use. By harnessing the unique properties of nanomaterials, nanozymes can be tailored to specific applications, making them promising alternatives to natural enzymes. Researchers have adopted various strategies to regulate the activity of nanozymes such as altering the size, morphology, surface modifications, and so on to better manipulate their activities for specific uses. Due to its unique advantages such as non‐invasiveness, ease of adjusting power, and instant on/off capabilities, light regulation has emerged as a popular strategy for regulating the activity of nanozymes in recent years. This article provides a short review of the recent advances in regulating the activities of nanozymes through light modulation and offers insights into their mechanism and promising applications in the biomedical fields.

Published: December 2024

AbstractThis research investigates the development of a digital twin (DT) for ground heat exchangers (GHEs) and its potential to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of shallow geothermal energy systems. It introduces an innovative approach for building a GHE‐DT that connects the physical and digital systems to monitor key parameters, predict issues, and optimize energy efficiency. The process involves several phases including implicit knowledge codification, data‐driven analysis, model construction, and system design. The study emphasizes real‐time monitoring of the effective parameters: ground temperature and fluid conditions (flow rate, temperature, and pressure). The GHE‐DT's digital system mainly comprises three sections, namely, data storage, mathematical modeling, and data‐driven modeling. The role of the presented mathematical model is to simulate the GHE's behavior and assess its performance characteristics, such as the heat exchanger's effectiveness and efficiency. Additionally, the data‐driven model used in the proposed DT utilizes formal concept analysis and relation concept analysis to identify connections and associations among parameters for a better understanding of the GHE functioning. The GHE‐DT provides useful services including trend analysis, problem prediction, and correlation analysis. These services provide engineers and operators with the opportunity to increase dependability, save maintenance costs, and optimize GHE performance.

Published: December 2024

AbstractHydrogen bonds (HBs), prevalent strong interactions in organic compounds, can effectively constrain single bond rotation, leading to rigid planar configurations. This rigidity enhances emission efficiency and narrows the emission spectrum of luminescent materials. Recent advances have leveraged HBs to advance high‐performance donor‐acceptor thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. However, their application in multi‐resonance (MR) TADF emitters remains limited. We herein developed MR‐TADF emitters incorporating intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IHBs) with pyrimidine as the HB acceptor. The rigid planar conformation induced by IHBs significantly improved photoluminescence quantum yield, extended emission wavelength, reduced full‐width at half‐maximum, and decreased non‐radiative decay rates for BN‐2Pm compared to BN‐5Pm. Devices based on BN‐2Pm achieved a maximum external quantum efficiency of 36.5 %, a current efficiency of 102.3 cd A−1, a power efficiency of 84.6 lm W−1, and Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.18, 0.71). In contrast, BN‐5Pm exhibited lower values: 14.6 %, 36.8 cd A−1, 27.6 lm W−1, and (0.12, 0.57), respectively.

AbstractThe advantages of implementing demand side management (DSM) strategies in biogas production are explored. Specifically, the influence of agitation intervals on biogas production and the economic advantages of DSM in fermenter agitation are examined. The model‐based study highlights the detrimental effects of insufficient agitation, such as reduced active reaction volume and diminished biogas yield. The article further delves into the optimal agitation intervals corresponding to different electricity price levels and assesses the implications of DSM on biogas production. Results substantiate that such strategies, particularly at high and low electricity prices, can increase profit while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Published: December 2024

Comprehensive SummaryHerein, the temperature‐ and pressure‐stimulated responsive behavior as well as crystal‐glass phase transition of a new zero‐dimensional hybrid manganese bromide [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] [4‐MTPP+ = (4‐methoxybenzyl)tris(phenyl)phosphonium)] were reported. Our experiment results demonstrate that [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] shows typical green photoluminescence emission centered at 522.4 nm excited by UV light, with a high photoluminescence quantum yields value of 79.36% and a large lifetime of 368.6 μs, attributing to its direct bandgap electronic structure. Further, the photoluminescence emission of [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] presents a monotonically blue shift with the increased temperature, originating from the decreased crystal field strength where the Mn2+ stays owing to lattice thermal expansion effect. On the contrary, as the pressure increases, the photoluminescence emission of [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] exhibits a progressive red shift, which can be attributed to the increased crystal field strength of Mn2+ due to the effect of pressure‐induced lattice shrinkage. Meanwhile, its quenched emission can be successfully restored when the pressure returns to the ambient pressure. In addition, [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] crystals show a crystal‐glass phase transition at the temperature of 74 °C. Intriguingly, the melt‐quenched glass of [4‐MTPP]2[MnBr4] exhibits green emission under UV light excitation with a large lifetime of 302.2 μs.

ABSTRACTSolid‐state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs), heralded as a promising next‐generation energy storage technology, have garnered considerable attention owing to inherent high safety and potential for achieving high energy density. However, their practical deployment is hindered by the formidable interfacial challenges, primarily stemming from the poor wettability, (electro) chemical instability, and discontinuous charge/mass transport between solid‐state electrolytes and Li metal. To overcome these obstacles, taking garnet‐based electrolyte (Li6.5La3Zr1.5Ta0.5O12, LLZTO) as a pathfinder, the ceramic metallization‐assisted room‐temperature ultrasound werlding (UW) has been developed to reinforce the Li/LLZTO interface. This ultrasound welding approach constructs a compact interface that facilitates rapid Li+/e− transport, while the formation of Li−M (M = Au, Ag, and Sn) alloy homogenizes the distribution of Li+/e− at the interface. By optimization, the atomic‐level contact achieved by ultrasound welding, coupled with a nanosized Au modification layer, significantly reduces the Li/LLZTO interfacial resistance to 5.4 Ω cm2, a marked decrease compared to the resistance achieved by static pressing methods (1727 Ω cm2). The symmetric cell exhibits a high critical current density of 1 mA cm−2 and sustains long‐term stability for over 1600 h at 0.3 mA cm−2, with a Li plating/stripping overpotential of < 45 mV. By incorporating a robust anode‐side interface into solid‐state lithium metal batteries, the LiFePO4‐based full battery contributes 118.4 mAh g⁻1 after 600 cycles at 1 C (capacity: ∼100%). This study offers a facile and effective approach to bolster the interfacial stability between Li and solid‐state electrolytes, paving the way for the development of high‐performance solid‐state lithium metal batteries.
On the isoperimetric Riemannian Penrose inequality
Authors: Benatti Luca , Fogagnolo Mattia , Mazzieri Lorenzo 
Published: December 2024

AbstractWe prove that the Riemannian Penrose inequality holds for asymptotically flat 3‐manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature and connected horizon boundary, provided the optimal decay assumptions are met, which result in the mass being a well‐defined geometric invariant. Our proof builds on a novel interplay between the Hawking mass and a potential‐theoretic version of it, recently introduced by Agostiniani, Oronzio, and the third named author. As a consequence, we establish the equality between mass and Huisken's isoperimetric mass under the above sharp assumptions. Moreover, we establish a Riemannian Penrose inequality in terms of the isoperimetric mass on any 3‐manifold with nonnegative scalar curvature, connected horizon boundary, and which supports a well‐posed notion of weak inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF). In particular, such isoperimetric Riemannian Penrose inequality does not require the asymptotic flatness of the manifold. The argument is based on a new asymptotic comparison result involving Huisken's isoperimetric mass and the Hawking mass.
Unveiling sustainable practices in financial institutions: A bibliometric analysis cum meta‐analytical review on enhancing financial performance
Authors: Ghosh Mousumi , Singh Manvendra Pratap 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThe heightened awareness of environmental and social concerns has prompted businesses, including financial institutions (hereto FIs), to incorporate non‐financial factors into their operations for long‐term sustainability and value creation. Despite FI's crucial role in resource allocation and national stability, there remains a notable gap in comprehensive research on the significance of sustainable practices for driving financial performance (hereto FP) within these institutions. This study addresses this gap through a systematic review of 533 articles from (1983–2024), employing bibliometric analysis to map key contributors, themes, and future research directions. Additionally, a meta‐analysis of 40 articles assesses the relationship between sustainable practices and banks' FP. Results show a positive yet weak association between the two, suggesting that banks have not fully embraced sustainable principles in it. Social and governance practices positively correlated with FP, while environmental factors exhibit a negative relationship. This may be due to the required investment, the time differential to materialize the same, and other factors adhering to the relationship, such as innovation, development of sustainable products, or adherence to sustainable processes for screening investment choices. The study concludes by discussing implications and offering suggestions for further research.
A Novel Approach of Nonlinear Control in Photovoltaic/Wind/Energy Storage System With Event‐Triggered DC Link Voltage Control in DC Microgrid
Authors: Alankrita  , Pati Avadh , Adhikary Nabanita 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTA hybrid DC microgrid (DC MG) integrates diverse renewable energy sources (RESs), each exhibiting unique nonlinear generation and power response characteristics. The intrinsic nonlinearity of these interacting RES necessitates the design of nonlinear control strategies to ensure stable operation and reliable power supply within the DC MG system. This paper presents a novel approach for nonlinear control of DC link voltage in hybrid DC MGs. Hybrid backstepping‐based controllers with event‐triggered (ET) control are proposed to enhance the energy quality produced by the DC MG during multiple disturbances while minimizing stress on converters by reducing the frequency of trigger signals. The PV controller is designed to maintain stability amid fluctuations in cell temperature and variations in solar irradiation. The wind controller is optimized for efficient wind power extraction, ensuring high performance in both static and dynamic conditions. The ESS is coordinated to mitigate constraints associated with RESs. Additionally, an ET controller is implemented for DC link voltage control, improving channel bandwidth efficiency and reducing strain on converters. This leads to longer interevent intervals compared with other nonlinear controllers, minimizing the need for frequent control adjustments. Lyapunov stability analysis is performed on the controllers to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the closed‐loop system. The proposed control schemes are then validated through numerical simulations in MATLAB/Simulink and further tested on an OPAL‐RT real‐time simulator. The results demonstrate that the proposed scheme improves coordination challenges among multiple RESs under uncertainties while also lowering computational overhead compared with traditional control methods.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTRüppell's vultures are critically endangered, primarily due to anthropogenic activities such as habitat degradation, climate change, and intentional and unintentional poisoning, which have led to the loss of nesting and breeding sites. To aid in the conservation and protection of these species, habitat evaluation and niche mapping are crucial. Species distribution modeling (SDM) is a valuable tool in conservation planning, providing insights into the ecological requirements of species under conservation concerns. This study employed an ensembling modeling approach to assess the habitat suitability and distribution of Rüppell's vultures across Kenya. We utilized four algorithms; Gradient Boosting Machine, Generalized Linear Model, Generalized Additive Model, and Random Forest. Data on Rüppell's vultures were sourced from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, while key environmental variables influencing the species' distribution were obtained from WorldClim. The resultant species distribution map was overlaid with a conservation area map to evaluate the overlap between suitable habitats and existing protected areas. Our analysis identified suitable habitats in regions such as the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Mount Kenya National Park, Nairobi National Park, Tsavo East National Park, and Hell's Gate National Park, with the majority of these habitats located outside protected areas, except those within Hell's Gate National Park. Precipitation and elevation emerged as the primary environmental predictors of the distribution of Rüppell's vultures. Based on these findings, we recommend establishing vulture sanctuaries in suitable habitats and hotspots to enhance the conservation of Rüppell's vultures outside the protected areas.

ABSTRACTUnderstanding the factors driving species coexistence and competition in the shrub layer of semi‐natural forests is crucial for effective forest management and conservation. However, there is limited knowledge about the interspecific associations of the main species in the shrub layer of Pinus massoniana communities in the semi‐natural forest of Sandu Gulf, Ningde, Fujian Province, China. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of the abiotic environment on plant communities within the semi‐natural forest of P. massoniana on the islands of Sandu Gulf. By exploring these interspecific associations, we sought to provide a more accurate understanding of the causes and processes of species coexistence and competition. The ultimate goal of this project was to offer a reference basis for optimizing the shrub layer structure in P. massoniana (plantation) forests. We found that (1) Heptapleurum heptaphyllum was the most dominant species in the shrub layer, while Smilax china demonstrated the broadest range of environmental adaptability and correspondingly broader niche than other species. (2) Our analysis revealed a predominance of positive associations among the dominant species in the shrub layer. However, the overall association was not significant, with relatively small positive and negative associations between species pairs. The significant test rate was low, and the NRI exhibited a non‐significant aggregation. These findings suggest that the plant community in the shrub layer has not yet reached its most stable stage. (3) We also observed that the distribution of dominant species in the shrub layer was primarily affected by factors such as total potassium, pH, available potassium, and light (canopy density). (4) Soil pH value decreased gradually as sampling points moved inward away from the coastline, and island isolation, temperature, and precipitation indirectly affected the species' importance in the shrub layer. Considering the intense competition among the understory species, it is crucial for conservation efforts to prioritize species pairs with reduced ecological niche overlap or significant positive associations. This approach will effectively reduce competition and contribute to the maintenance of stability in the shrub layer. This study provides a theoretical basis for environmental and vegetation restoration, optimizing the species composition of island plantation forests, rationalizing plant composition, and implementing effective operation and management practices for local P. massoniana forests.
