Published: July 2019

AbstractBactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) is considered to be a highly invasive and destructive agricultural pest due to its strong dispersal and adaptive capacity. Rapid development of insecticide resistance poses a serious threat to the sustainable control of this pest. Here, the resistance mechanisms and invasion pathways of this fly are outlined for a better understanding of the resistance‐gene flow pattern and invasion routes. We believe this microreview will provide a glimpse of the native regions, spread and management of resistance, and guide future work on these important topics.

Published: July 2019

AbstractBenzoylphenyl ureas inhibit chitin synthesis and interfere with the molting process in arthropods. In this study, the effect of diflubenzuron on third‐instar larvae of Aedes aegypti was evaluated. The susceptibility to the product was determined, and the alterations generated were shown through light and electron microscopy. LC50 and LC90 were 0.23 and 0.47 ppm, respectively. The main alterations observed were the incapacity to complete the molt, a reduction of mobility, the fragmentation of the old cuticle, a division of the body segments that was not evident, and the deformation of the caudal structures. Images of the ultrastructure are included, where breaking zones in the cuticle were observed, separation of the cuticle, the epidermis and the muscles, and these latter with a disorganized arrangement. In low concentrations, from 0.15 ppm, diflubenzuron causes alterations in the behavior and morphology of Ae. aegypti.

Published: July 2019

AbstractIn the food industry, quince seeds are discarded as waste in the production process. Their use therefore creates added value and opens up the possibility of using no‐waste processing technologies. Three types of waste were investigated: after juicing, after the manufacture of puree and syrup. The results showed that the yield of quince seeds (Chaenomeles japonica (Thunb.) Lindl. ex Spach from waste left after different production methods varies from 29.8 to 38.3 %. The cold pressed oil yield ranges from 4.9±0.03 to 7.1±0.06 %. The oil yield obtained by Soxhlet extraction varies from 14.6±0.64 to 17.3±0.9 %. Unsaturated fatty acid, especially polyunsaturated fatty acid is predominant in quince seed oil. The linoleic acid content of the quince seed oils was between 47.12 % and 58.49 % of the total fatty acids. The fatty acid composition of oils from post‐industrial waste is more appropriate in the skin care industry than in the food industry because of the high ratio of omega‐6/omega‐3 and high linoleic acid content.

Published: July 2019

Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the leading causes of cancer‐related death worldwide. Kinesin family member 2C (KIF2C), a modulator in microtubule depolymerization, bipolar spindle formation, and chromosome segregation, has been reported to take roles in cancer biology, but its role in NSCLC remains unclear. This study was intended to investigate the expression and function of KIF2C in NSCLC. Our results demonstrated that KIF2C was up‐regulated in NSCLC tissues and cell lines. The high expression of KIF2C in NSCLC tissues was significantly correlated with higher T stage (0.0078), worse differentiation status (0.0049), and lymph node metastasis (P < .0001). We also proved that the high expression level of KIF2C predicted worse prognosis of the patients. After knockdown of KIF2C, the proliferation and metastasis of NSCLC cells were inhibited. Luciferase reporter assay suggested that KIF2C was a target gene of miR‐325‐3p, which was reported to be a tumour suppressor in NSCLC. In conclusion, this study proved an oncogenic role of KIF2C in NSCLC and partly clarified the mechanism of its high expression. Our findings provided a useful insight into the mechanism of NSCLC progression and offered clues to novel therapy strategies.

Published: July 2019

AbstractThe diagnosis of aortic dissection is often difficult because the symptoms are usually non‐specific. AD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all cases of idiopathic retrosternal pain. Misdiagnosis of AD is a common cause of legal suits in medical practice. Prevention requires a complete and thorough evaluation.

Trilinear self‐modeling curve resolution using Borgen‐Rajkó plot
Authors: Omidikia Nematollah , Abdollahi Hamid , Kompany‐Zareh Mohsen , Rajkó Róbert 
Published: July 2019

AbstractModern analytical instruments provide measurement data arrays with full of hidden and redundant information. Multivariate curve resolution (MCR) techniques decompose data set to physic‐chemically meaningful abstract profiles. On the other hand, for such data matrices, Borgen‐Rajkó self‐modeling curve resolution (SMCR) techniques reveal all possible solutions analytically under the minimal assumption. Although Lawton‐Sylvestre (LS) and Borgen methods have been proposed for the non‐negative curve resolution of two‐component and three‐component systems, there is still a great deal of interest to include further restrictions on the Borgen‐Rajkó SMCR. As modern hyphenated analytical instruments produce multiway (eg, three‐way) arrays, multiway analysis (eg, trilinear decomposition) was received much more popularity by chemists.This contribution is decicated to the extension of the Borgen algorithm to the trilinear data sets. The Borgen method incorporating trilinearity constraint is approached in an analogy to the trilinear Lawton‐Sylvester method. The proposed analytical triadic decomposition is applied to the simulated three‐way arrays with full rank and rank overlap (a type of rank deficiency) loadings. Finally, the proposed algorithm is further exemplified with a three‐component spectrofluorimetric study of acid‐base equilibrium of the pyridoxine. Investigating feasible regions of the simulated and experimental three‐component arrays reveal interesting additional information.
Modeling the mitral valve
Authors: Kaiser Alexander D. , McQueen David M. , Peskin Charles S. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThis work is concerned with modeling and simulation of the mitral valve, one of the four valves in the human heart. The valve is composed of leaflets, the free edges of which are supported by a system of chordae, which themselves are anchored to the papillary muscles inside the left ventricle. First, we examine valve anatomy and present the results of original dissections. These display the gross anatomy and information on fiber structure of the mitral valve. Next, we build a model valve following a design‐based methodology, meaning that we derive the model geometry and the forces that are needed to support a given load and construct the model accordingly. We incorporate information from the dissections to specify the fiber topology of this model. We assume the valve achieves mechanical equilibrium while supporting a static pressure load. The solution to the resulting differential equations determines the pressurized configuration of the valve model. To complete the model, we then specify a constitutive law based on a stress‐strain relation consistent with experimental data that achieves the necessary forces computed in previous steps. Finally, using the immersed boundary method, we simulate the model valve in fluid in a computer test chamber. The model opens easily and closes without leak when driven by physiological pressures over multiple beats. Further, its closure is robust to driving pressures that lack atrial systole or are much lower or higher than normal.
Effective data placement for scientific workflows in mobile edge computing using genetic particle swarm optimization
Authors: Chen Zheyi , Hu Jia , Min Geyong , Chen Xing 
Published: July 2019

SummaryMobile edge computing (MEC) necessitates cost‐effective deployment for executing scientific workflows with different tasks and datasets, which provides computing, storage and network control at the network edge. However, the execution of scientific workflows in MEC results in heavy costs of data placement including data transmission and data storage. Although there are solutions for data placement in traditional cloud computing, they cannot effectively respond to the latency‐sensitive property of scientific workflows, which leads to the excessive costs of data placement. To cope with this problem, we combine the advantages of MEC and cloud computing and propose a genetic algorithm particle swarm optimization (GAPSO) based method to explore the optimal strategy of data placement for scientific workflows in MEC. First, a unified model of data placement is designed to explore a cost‐effective strategy, which considers the different characteristics between MEC and cloud computing as well as the impact of latency constraint on transmission costs. Next, the advantages of genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) are integrated to optimize the proposed model, which utilities the fast convergence of PSO and the crossover and mutation operations of GA. Simulations using real‐world scientific workflows show the effectiveness of the proposed method for reducing data placement costs in MEC.
Bubble Solution Description by Non‐Extensive Thermodynamics: Pressure Effect
Authors: Letellier Pierre , Turmine Mireille 
Published: July 2019

AbstractWe showed in this study that nanobubble solutions should not be considered as the simple juxtaposition of autonomous phases (a solution and bubbles) but as particular entities, that is, “supersaturated solutions” where gas is simultaneously in two forms in permanent exchange. Gibbs′ extensive thermodynamics cannot claim to describe legitimately their behavior. In this work, we showed how the use of the non‐extensive thermodynamics allows describing the physicochemical properties of such media, some of which are counter‐intuitive. Thus, an increase in pressure can result in an increase in the bubble size, contrary to what is provided by Boyle‐Mariotte's law. The theoretical relationships proposed in this work constitute another approach to bubble solutions, which considers the non‐autonomous nature of the components of supersaturated gas solutions and their “non‐extensive” nature.

Published: July 2019

AbstractObjectivesNeonatal thrush, also called oral candidiasis, is commonly a clinical diagnosis based on white patches on oral mucosal surfaces. Candida albicans is often associated with it. This clinical study aimed to investigate the presence of C. albicans among newborns with or without clinical findings of candidiasis on oral mucosa. Another aim was to investigate how thrush responded to current therapy by acidic liquids such as lingonberry or lemon juice.Material and methodsSwipe samples were collected from 32 healthy, full‐term infants younger than 12 months with or without white patches on oral mucosa. Clinical diagnosis of thrush was made by a community nurse based on thick and yellowish white patches. The routine therapy was oral lingonberry or lemon juice or soda water. Disappearing of patches was controlled by a phone call about 2 weeks after the baseline. Both parents and nurses gave background factors by filling a questionnaire.ResultsOne (3%) infant without clinical signs was diagnosed with Candida parapsilosis, none with C. albicans. Thrush resembling candidiasis was diagnosed clinically in four (12.5%) children. Three out of four parents reported persisting findings after 2 weeks. Only the maternal mastitis and use of antibiotics were significantly associated with thrush (p = .001). C. albicans was not discovered from babies with clinical thrush.ConclusionsAetiology of the white patches remained unclear. The current way of treating them with acidic liquids is not efficient. Additional studies are needed.

Authors: Silvestri Antonella , Veltri Stefania 
Published: July 2019

AbstractThe main aim of the paper is to provide evidence that merging the corporate social responsibility (CSR), the leadership, and the social entrepreneurship literatures informs and benefit all these literatures. With this aim, a literature review on the studies investigating how leaders affect organizational CSR, why organizations engage in CSR, and how the environment affects the leader and the organizational CSR approach has been carried out. The outcome is a microfocused, multilevel, and multitheoretical conceptual framework, able to underline the links between the role of the leader, the organizational CSR approach, and the sustainable development of the territory. The conceptual framework has been applied to the GOEL case study, a strategic alliance operating in an unfavorable context. The findings provide evidence of the pivotal role of the leader in defining the organizational CSR approach and that the societal and cultural contexts affect the way in which leader faces the sustainability challenges.

AbstractGraphene oxide (GO) nanosheets show good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance in electrochemical devices. However, strong van der Waals attraction between adjacent nanosheets causes GO materials to collapse, reducing the exposed surfaces and limiting electron/ion transport in porous electrodes. GO nanosheets mixed with Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2⋅2 H2O (ZnON) nanoplates create a layered composite structure. Exposing the resultant GO/ZnON to 2‐methylimidazole vapor leads to the conversion of ZnON into the zeolitic imidazolate framework ZIF‐8. The transformation of ZnON into ZIF‐8 leads to a huge physical expansion of the interlayer space between the GO sheets. Annealing the material at high temperature caused the ZIF‐8 to be converted into highly porous nitrogen‐doped carbon, but the GO nanosheets maintained a large separation and high surface area. The morphology and porous structure of the post‐annealing carbon material was sensitive to the initial ratio of ZnON to GO. The optimized sample exhibited several favorable features, including a large surface area, high degree of graphitization, and a high amount of nitrogen doping. Using chemical vapor deposition of metal–organic frameworks to physically expand nanomaterials is a novel method to increase the surface area and porosity of materials. It enabled the synthesis of nanoporous carbon electrodes with high capacitance, good rate capability, and long cyclic stability in supercapacitor devices.

Published: July 2019

AbstractA modular and waste‐free strategy for constructing N‐substituted cyclic amines via decarboxylative N‐alkylation of α‐amino acids employing ruthenium‐ and iron‐based catalysts is presented. The reported method allows the synthesis of a wide range of five‐ and six‐membered N‐alkylated heterocycles in moderate‐to‐excellent yields starting from predominantly proline and a broad range of benzyl alcohols, and primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols. Examples using pipecolic acid for the construction of piperidine derivatives, as well as the one‐pot synthesis of α‐amino nitriles, are also shown.

Published: July 2019

AbstractUnlike traditional metal‐ion insertion, the emerging aqueous rechargeable ammonium‐ion batteries (ARABs) brings new battery chemistries for future stationary energy storage. However, low energy density and low durability hinder the further development of ARABs because of the lack of suitable and cost‐efficient anodes. In this study, an aqueous rechargeable ammonium zinc hybrid battery is fabricated from durable corner‐truncated sodium iron hexacyanoferrate nanocubes as the cathode and low‐cost zinc as the anode. This novel hybrid battery demonstrates an average working voltage of 1.3 V, excellent rate capability, and a high energy density of 81.7 Wh kg−1 at 286 W kg−1 (based on two electrodes’ active mass), as well as a long lifespan with 92.1 % capacity retention after 2000 cycles, outperforming the reported ARABs and many aqueous hybrid batteries. The strategy to assemble the ammonium zinc hybrid battery provides guidance for improving the feasibility of ARABs for practical application.

Published: July 2019

AbstractLithium–sulfur (Li/S) batteries suffer from “shuttle” reactions in which soluble polysulfide species continuously migrate to and from the Li metal anode. As a consequence, the loss of active material and reactions at the surface of Li limit the practical applications of Li/S batteries. LiNO3 has been proposed as an electrolyte additive to reduce the shuttle reactions by aiding the formation of a stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) at the Li metal, limiting polysulfide shuttling. However, LiNO3 is continuously consumed during cycling, especially at low current rates. Therefore, the Li/S battery cycle life is limited by the LiNO3 concentration in the electrolyte. In this work, an ionic liquid (IL) [N‐methyl‐(n‐butyl)pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide] was used as an additive to enable longer cycle life of Li/S batteries. By tuning the IL concentration, an enhanced stability of the SEI and lower flammability of the solutions were demonstrated, that is, higher safety of the battery. The Li/S cell built with a high sulfur mass loading (4 mg cm−2) and containing the IL‐based electrolyte demonstrated a stable capacity of 600 mAh g−1 for more than double the number of cycles of a cell containing LiNO3 additive.
Modeling variability in the fire response of an endangered bird to improve fire‐management

Published: July 2019

AbstractConservation managers regularly burn vegetation to regenerate habitat for fire‐dependent species. When determining the time since fire at which to burn, managers model change in a species’ occurrence over time, post‐fire (fire‐response curve) and identify the time since fire associated with decline in occurrence. However, where species exhibit variability in their fire response across space, using a single fire‐response curve to determine the timing of burns may lead to burning habitat at an inappropriate time since fire. We tested if elevation, local topography, soil properties, vegetation type or evapotranspiration affect the fire response of the endangered Mallee Emu‐wren Stipiturus mallee and its hummock‐grass habitat Triodia scariosa in southeastern Australia (n = 217). Previous work on the Mallee Emu‐wren found a unimodal fire response with decline in occurrence at ~30–50 yr since fire and a time window of occurrence of ~30 yr. We found that time since fire and elevation interact to affect the Mallee Emu‐wren fire response. At high elevations (55–98 m), Mallee Emu‐wrens declined in occurrence at ~50 yr since fire, with a time window of occurrence of 20–40 yr. However, at low elevations (28–55 m), Mallee Emu‐wrens showed no decline in occurrence with increasing time since fire with a time window of occurrence of up to 107 yr. Extent cover of Tall T. scariosa showed similar patterns to the Mallee Emu‐wren, indicating that vegetation structure is a likely driver of variability in the Mallee Emu‐wren fire response. We speculate that the effect of low elevation is mediated by increased soil nutrient and water availability for key plants. We used our findings to map the appropriate time since fire at which to burn to regenerate habitat for the Mallee Emu‐wren across the study region. We recommend no burning for regeneration across one‐third of potential habitat, because the Mallee Emu‐wren showed no decline in occurrence in these areas. We recommend managers model variability in species’ fire responses across space to improve the timing of burns for regeneration.
