AbstractThe Southern Plains (SP) is one of 18 Long‐Term Agroecosystem Research network sites that combine strategic research projects with common measurements across multiple agroecosystems. Projects at the SP site focus on the use of indicator measurements to aid in assessment of land and nutrient management's impact on soil health, water quality, carbon and water balances, and forage biomass‐quality in diversified, adaptive crop‐livestock systems designed to overcome shifts in natural resources and climate. The prevailing treatment is tilled winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that is grazed, hayed, harvested for grain, or grazed and harvested for grain. The alternative treatment is year‐round annual cover crop forage mixes for cattle (Bos taurus) production planted in fall and spring under conservation tillage management. The area is subject to variable weather and climatic shifts that reduce the potential to diversify forage crops and limit grazing in southern tall grass prairies and small grain systems. Incorporation of fertilized, rain‐fed, annual cool and warm season mixtures of cover crops could fill forage gaps. The presence of year‐round ground cover reduces sediment and nutrient loading to surface waters while enhancing soil health and water holding capacity. Tools to aid agricultural producers and land and water resource managers have been developed and implemented to determine how climate, topography, and varying conservation management practices alter hydrological structures, greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, and soil resources.

Published: November 2024

AbstractRecent medicine shortages in Australia have significantly impacted pharmacists' professional practice. The inability to provide essential medicines to consumers in a timely manner has increased pharmacist workload whilst attempting to maintain quality patient care during and after the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the impact of medicine shortages on the operational responsibilities of community pharmacists, their ability to deliver health care, and the personal impact on community pharmacists. A nationwide anonymous survey was distributed to Australian community pharmacists via the Qualtrics survey platform between April – September 2023. Of the 142 pharmacists who responded to this survey, 89.5% (n = 127) reported having to purchase medicines from sources other than their regular wholesaler on at least a weekly basis in the last 3 months. The same number reported that they frequently needed to substitute medicines because of ongoing shortages. Most pharmacists (n = 128, 90.1%) reported that their workload had been affected by medicine shortages and that their motivation and engagement with work were frequently affected (n = 79, 55.7%). Pharmacists reported taking on additional administrative responsibilities to ensure access to treatment and health care. Current regulatory restrictions regarding the substitution of medicine dosage forms are often implemented only after community pharmacists are affected by medicine shortages. This survey highlights the need for improved awareness of medicine shortages and timely actions to be taken to ensure pharmacist wellbeing and patient access to health care in the face of medicine shortages. Ethics approval was granted by the University of South Australia Human Research Ethics Committee (reference no.: 205399) and the study conforms with the Australian National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research. Informed consent was obtained from all participants.

ABSTRACTBackground and ObjectivesIndication for sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) patients with high‐upstaging risk remains inconsistent. Our previous systematic review and meta‐analysis had reported five variables that were significantly higher in the upstaging group. We developed the “high‐risk upstaging model” and investigated its predictivity and accuracy.MethodsThe study included patients initially diagnosed with DCIS in a medical center between 2011 and 2020. Patients' clinicopathological data were obtained through web‐based surgical medical record database. Two prediction models were built, in which patients who met at least one (Model A) or two (Model B) of the predictors would be predicted to upstage in the final pathology. We compared the accuracy of our models with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline and original data.ResultsThe analyses included 249 patients, of which 67 DCIS patients upstaged in final pathology. The excess treatment in Model A (70%) was lower than the original data (80.2%). The incomplete treatment in Model A (3%) was lower than the NCCN guideline model (38.8%) and the original data (7.5%). Both Model A and Model B yielded a higher receiver operating characteristic (AUC) curve compared with original data.ConclusionsOur Model A derived from the systematic review of the real‐world data reduced the incomplete treatment rate of SLNB. Our Model B also showed the highest predictive value. With the two models, we provided a clearer indication for surgeons to perform SLNB in DCIS patients and demonstrated proof of concept, allowing ready input of patient data.

AbstractPurposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of knee osteoarthritis (OA) between the anatomic single‐bundle (SB) and anatomic double‐bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction technique after 5‐year follow‐up (FU). Secondary objectives were to compare patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs), clinical examination, activity level, functional tests and graft failures between the two groups.MethodsThe study was a secondary analysis after 5‐year FU of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) (Clinical Trials NCT01033188). One hundred and twenty patients between 18 and 40 years were randomized to either anatomic SB or anatomic DB reconstruction. The Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) classification grade ≥2 and the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) atlas criteria score ≥2 were used for defining OA. Additionally, PROMs were obtained and clinical examinations of the knees were performed. Finally, the number of patients experiencing graft failure in each group was recorded.ResultsRadiographic imaging was performed in 39 patients in the SB group and in 37 patients in the DB group. Four patients (10%) in the SB group and two (5%) in the DB group developed osteoarthritis according to the KL classification (p = 0.28). Five (13%) in the SB group and three (8%) in the DB group developed osteoarthritis according to the OARSI atlas criteria (p = 0.59; difference 5.0% [95% confidence interval, CI: −0.10 to 0.20]). There were no significant differences in the PROMs, clinical examinations, activity levels, or functional tests when comparing the two groups. Of initially 62 SB patients, 14 (23%) experienced graft failure compared to 4 (7%) of the 58 DB patients (p = 0.015; difference 0.016 [95% CI: 0.03–0.29]).ConclusionAt 5‐year FU, there were no significant differences in the incidence of OA, PROMS, or other clinical findings comparing the anatomic DB to anatomic SB ACL reconstructed patients. There were fewer graft failures among patients treated with anatomic DB ACL reconstruction.Level of EvidenceII.

Published: November 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe primary objective was to characterize the abundance and architecture of collagen in the extracellular matrix in vestibular schwannoma (VS). The secondary objective was to investigate the association between collagen architecture and tumor size.Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.SettingAcademic referral center.MethodsTumor samples were obtained from patients with sporadic VS undergoing microsurgical resection. Histological analyses were performed including picrosirius red (PSR) staining under polarized light. Collagen architecture was quantified using an automated fiber detection software. Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) microscopy and immunofluorescence (IF) were utilized to characterize collagen architecture.ResultsEleven tumor specimens were included (mean tumor diameter = 2.80 cm, range 1.5‐4.0 cm), and were divided into large (mean diameter = 3.5 ± 0.4 cm) and small (mean tumor diameter = 2.0 ± 0.4 cm) cohorts based on size. The large VS cohort showed significantly higher collagen density (27.65% vs 12.73%, P = .0043), with more thick fibers (mature Type I, 24.54% vs 12.97%, P = .0022) and thin fibers (immature Type I or mature Type III, 23.55% vs 12.27%, P = .026). Tumor volume correlated with greater degree of collagen fiber disorganization (P = .0413, r2 = 0.298). Specifically, collagen type I intensity was significantly higher in large VS compared to small tumors (P < .001) and peripheral nerve (P = .028).ConclusionLarger VS exhibit increased collagen abundance in the tumor stroma, and a more disorganized collagen architecture compared to smaller VS and normal peripheral nerve tissue. This finding indicates that collagen organization may play a significant role in extracellular matrix remodeling and the progression of VS.

AbstractBackgroundNon‐occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) is a rare, symptom‐scarce condition characterized by rapid progression and high mortality.Case presentationA 63‐year‐old male, after recovering from neutropenia following paclitaxel and cetuximab therapy, developed abdominal distension without subjective symptoms. Dynamic CT imaging suggested ischemia in the superior mesenteric artery region without vascular obstruction, leading to a diagnosis of NOMI. With no clear signs of intestinal necrosis, conservative treatment was chosen, but the patient succumbed within 14 h.ConclusionCancer chemotherapy agents may induce intestinal ischemia. Stomatologists should be aware of this disease and facilitate timely referral to specialists for appropriate medical care.
Capabilities and limitations of smoothed particle hydrodynamics for the simulation of two‐phase flow instabilities
Authors: Vallem Rishindra , Klein Marten , Schmidt Heiko 
Published: November 2024

AbstractSmoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a mesh‐free, Lagrangian particle‐based method that is able to simulate multiphase flows in an economical manner. However, its ability to capture the flow regimes and regime transitions in two phase (liquid‐gas) internal flows, such as pipe or channel flows is not yet generally established. To address this lack in understanding, we first examine a laminar rising bubble case in order to evaluate the fluid‐fluid interface representation and transient interface evolution by the solver. With a focus towards the transition mechanism from a stratified flow regime to a slug flow regime, we investigate the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability (KHI) both qualitatively and quantitatively, initially focusing on a low density ratio () and then extending it to a high density ratio (). For the low density ratio, we conduct an analysis of the temporal evolution and demonstrate that the SPH solver captures the initial exponential growth in qualitative agreement with inviscid linear stability theory (LST) and reference numerical data for shear‐dominated flow with Richardson number . By conducting eight additional simulations for various for the high density ratio, we demonstrate that the numerically obtained parameter value for instability is around , which is in reasonable agreement with the theoretically expected value of . Based on the SPH results obtained for the range , we suggest a simple parameterization of the reduction of the effective growth rate proportional to .

Published: November 2024

AbstractTailoring the interfacial structure is a critical approach for modulating the dielectric characteristics of nanocomposites. Herein, the energy storage properties of polyimide/silica (PIS) were improved by grafting 4‐carboxyphenyl (PhCOOH), 4‐aminophenyl, isocyanate, phenyl and amino groups on the interfaces. The results demonstrated that the PhCOOH groups not only optimized the interfacial structures, but also enhanced both the relative dielectric permittivity (εr) and dielectric strength (Eb) of PI‐based films. The PhCOOH endowed the PI‐based films with high εr by elevating the intrinsic polarization and suppressing the relaxation polarization. Moreover, the PhCOOH elevated charge injection barriers and reduced carrier hopping distances, resulting in a lower current density. Molecular simulations revealed that the PhCOOH raised the SiO2 electron affinity and the trap depth of PIS composites, achieving the enhancement of Eb. The PIS‐PhCOOH films with high εr (7.57, 103 Hz) and Eb (421 kV⋅mm−1) exhibited superior discharge energy density (6.20 J⋅cm−3) and energy storage efficiency (88.80%), which was 119.08% higher than that of PIS (2.83 J⋅cm−3, 75.91%). This work provides insights into interface engineering to synergistically improve dielectric permittivity and dielectric strength of polymer‐based composites, paving the way for fabricating high‐performance dielectrics.Highlights
Polarization response were modulated by interface modification.
Both permittivity and dielectric strength of PI‐based films were enhanced.
PI‐based films showed an energy density as high as 6.20 J⋅cm−3.

AbstractGlass fiber‐reinforced polymer composites are widely used in marine applications, including renewable energy devices and submarines, due to their strength‐to‐weight ratios and corrosion resistance. As sustainability becomes more important, recyclable thermoplastic composites are gaining attention in marine energy applications. These materials face harsh conditions such as high chloride water, UV radiation, pressurization, and thermal cycling, which can affect their durability and recyclability. This study examines the impact of hygrothermal aging on the recyclability of an Elium glass fiber (GF) composite. Samples were mechanically ground for recycling, and mechanical and thermal properties were compared between aged and unaged samples. After seawater aging, the tensile strength and modulus of the unaged composite dropped by 25% and 13% respectively, due to water ingress along the fiber‐matrix interface. The recycled composite showed reduced flexural strength as the long fiber composite was converted into short fibers during the process. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) revealed no change in glass transition temperature after aging. Weight loss (25%) was attributed to the thermal stability of the glass fibers. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the storage modulus increased with aging, and fracture analysis confirmed a mixed mode of failure for aged composites.Highlights
Hygrothermal aging lowers mechanical performance of Elium® GF composites.
Failure mechanism tends to be matrix cracking and interface bonding.
Glass transition temperature is not reduced by hygrothermal aging.
Fractured composite was successfully recycled via thermoforming.
Flexural strength of the recycled composite is lower.
A consistent treatment of mixed‐phase saturation for atmospheric thermodynamics
Authors: Warren Robert A. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIce processes are integral to the formation and maintenance of high‐level clouds and can contribute substantially to the buoyancy of deep moist convection. These processes are represented in modern microphysics parameterisations but are commonly ignored in theoretical treatments of moist thermodynamics. While many thermodynamic variables can be defined uniquely for saturation with respect to liquid water and ice, it is desirable to account for the presence of mixed‐phase condensate, which is common in real clouds. Here, a simple yet novel representation of mixed‐phase saturation is introduced. Using this approach, analytical equations are derived for a variety of thermodynamic variables under mixed‐phase conditions. These include mixed‐phase versions of the saturation vapour pressure, saturated lapse rates, isobaric wet‐bulb temperature, and equivalent potential temperature. A new formulation of the ice–liquid water potential temperature is also presented, together with a method for calculating the mixed‐phase pseudo wet‐bulb temperature and wet‐bulb potential temperature. In addition, two new thermodynamic quantities are introduced: the isobaric saturation‐point temperature, a mixed‐phase analogue of the dew‐point and frost‐point temperatures, and the lifting saturation level, a mixed‐phase analogue of the lifting condensation and lifting deposition levels. Differences between each mixed‐phase variable and its liquid‐ and ice‐only counterparts are quantified across a wide range of atmospheric conditions. A Python library for evaluating these variables, developed during the course of this work, is also briefly introduced.

AbstractThe direct photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in air is the future trend of photocatalyst application. Herein, the 0D carbon nitride quantum dots with nitrogen vacancies (VN‐CNQDs) and 2D bismuth‐deficient Bi4O5Br2 (VBi‐Bi4O5Br2) are integrated by hydrothermal method. The S‐scheme heterostructure of VN‐CNQDs/VBi‐Bi4O5Br2 composite promotes the separation rate of photogenerated carriers and enhances the redox capacity. The dual defects provide a large number of adsorption and catalytic sites that enhance the ability to capture and reduce CO2. The synergistic effect of S‐scheme heterostructure and defect engineering enables the efficiency of CO2 photoreduction to CO with VN‐CNQDs/VBi‐Bi4O5Br2 to reach 16.89 µmol g−1 h−1 in air and 55.69 µmol g−1 h−1 in VCO2: VAir = 3:1 condition, which is 17 and 21 times higher than that of Bi4O5Br2, respectively. The dual‐defective VN‐CNQDs/VBi‐Bi4O5Br2 exhibits more lower energy barrier for forming *CO2, *COOH, and *CO and is easier to release CO gas. And it exhibits excellent cycling stability for photocatalytic CO2 reduction to CO. The photocatalytic reduction mechanism of CO2 to CO in the VN‐CNQDs/VBi‐Bi4O5Br2 S‐scheme heterostructure is further analyzed. This work provides new perspectives for the design of the photocatalysts with defect engineering for efficient photoconversion at low CO2

Published: November 2024

AbstractTraditional monopile foundations cannot support the greater lateral loads and horizontal displacement needs required by offshore wind turbines due to their increasingly large size. Popularity has increased for a recently created hybrid pile foundation that combines a traditional monopile with a wide-shallow bucket. In this paper, 1-g model tests in soft clay are used to analyze the lateral behavior of hybrid pile foundation under static load. As a standard, the monopile with the same pile diameter and embedded length is employed. According to the experiment’s findings, the pile-bucket hybrid foundation’s lateral ultimate bearing capacity is more than 70% higher and its initial stiffness is nearly twice as good as that of a monopile foundation under the same lateral load. In addition, this paper compares the pile displacement, pile bending moment, and p-y curve of monopile foundation and hybrid pile-bucket foundation.

AbstractThe clearwell has the dual function of hydraulic regulation and disinfection contact. Improving hydraulic efficiency is an important measure to reduce the amount of disinfection by-products. The example of the clearwell was modeled as a whole. Then the influence of the main geometric dimensions on the hydraulic efficiency of the clearwell were studied by two-dimensional numerical simulation method, and the rationality of the design scheme was verified. The results showed that the length–width ratio had the most obvious influence on hydraulic efficiency, but the trend of t10/T increasing was slowing down. The t10/T value could be increased by reducing the number and width of bends and increasing the diameter of inlet pipe. The Pe under each working condition was greater than one, so the particle translation with the water flow was the main factor of mass transfer. The length–width ratio of the clearwell was 38 and the t10/T was 0.54 which would meet the design requirement of not less than 0.5.
