Published: November 2024

AbstractAdjusting the hole transport layer (HTL) to optimize its interface with perovskite is crucial for minimizing interface recombination, enhancing carrier extraction, and achieving efficient and stable inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, as a commonly used HTL, the self‐assemble layer (SAM) of [2‐(3,6‐dimethoxy‐9H‐carbazol‐9‐yl)ethyl] phosphonic acid (MeO‐2PACz) tends to form clusters and micelles during the deposition process, leading to inadequate coverage of the ITO substrate. Here, a Co‐SAM strategy is employed by incorporating 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid (SBA) and 4‐trifluoromethyl benzoic acid (TBA) as additives into MeO‐2PACz to fabricate a Co‐SAM‐based HTL. The introduced additive can interact with MeO‐2PACz, facilitating cluster dispersion and thereby enabling better deposition on ITO for improved HTL coverage. Moreover, Co‐SAM exhibits superior energy level alignment with perovskite to enhance interfacial contact and improve carrier extraction efficiency as well as promote growth of bottom perovskite grains. As a result, an impressive increase of the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 21.34% to 23.31% is achieved in the inverted device based on the Co‐SAM HTL of MeO‐2PACz+TBA while maintaining ≈90% of its initial efficiency under continuous operation at 1‐sun.

Published: November 2024

AbstractChondrocytes are commonly applied in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Thus, the discovery of optimal culture conditions to obtain cells with good properties and behavior for transplantation is important. In addition to biochemical cues, physical and biomechanical changes can affect the proliferation and protein expression of chondrocytes. Here we investigated the effect of extracellular matrix stiffness on mouse articular chondrocyte phenotype, growth, and subcellular p53 localization. Chondrocytes were seeded on collagen‐coated substrates varying in elasticity: 0.5 and 100 kPa. Immunocytochemical staining and immunoblotting showed that a softer substrate significantly increased p53 nuclear localization in chondrocytes. Furthermore, we identified microRNA‐532 (miR‐532) as a potential p53 target gene to influence cell function, indicating a new target for tissue engineering. These findings provide insight into the influence of physical cues on cell phenotype maintenance and could help improve understanding of cartilage‐related pathologies such as osteoarthritis.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTMethodologyIn this research, we conducted a case study to establish a foundation for size measurement and effort estimation in DWH projects. We first applied a productivity‐based estimation approach using linear regression with the ISBSG repository to assist organizations without historical data. We then evaluated various machine learning algorithms to improve estimation accuracy. Finally, we tested a combined model that integrates both approaches for estimating effort in external projects.ResultsUsing the ISBSG dataset, linear regression models based on productivity achieved a Mean Magnitude of Relative Error (MMRE) of 0.285. Machine learning algorithms improved accuracy by 22.81%, reducing the MMRE to 0.220. The final model, applied to external projects, yielded MRE values between 0.010 and 0.245.ConclusionThe ISBSG repository is a valuable resource for effort estimation in DWH projects. Combining productivity‐based estimation with machine learning enhances accuracy and predictive performance, making it a more reliable approach than traditional models.
Evolutionary trends of caviomorph rodents as elucidated using their oldest foot anatomy

Published: November 2024

AbstractExtant caviomorph rodents exhibit a wide array of locomotor types and substrate preferences, which are reflected in their foot morphology. It is not known when these patterns were established or how they evolved in this taxonomically and ecologically diverse clade. We studied the anatomy of the earliest preserved feet of caviomorphs represented by the late Oligocene stem octodontoid Platypittamys and the Early Miocene cavioid Neoreomys, stem octodontoid Sciamys and erethizontoid Steiromys. Integrating information provided by extant species, we performed qualitative and geometric morphometric analyses, reconstructing ancestral morphologies to interpret the evolution of the foot of caviomorphs through a time‐scaled phylogeny, and infer locomotor behaviours. We identified an important morphological disparity in these early genera that is explained by the presence of different locomotor adaptations and phylogenetic signal at different taxonomic levels. Neoreomys was probably generalized ambulatory, Steiromys possibly scansorial, Platypittamys possibly ambulatory with digging abilities, and Sciamys was probably agile ambulatory–scansorial. Our study indicated that several foot features can distinguish higher taxonomic groups of caviomorphs, at least since the Early Miocene. Early in their history, morphological constraints would have limited the capacity of evolutionary change more markedly in Cavioidea and Chinchillidae. In Cavioidea, at least two evolutionary trends were detected. Among octodontoids, extant octodontids and Platypittamys showed convergent anatomical patterns. Erethizontoidea retained a foot essentially unchanged since the Early Miocene after acquiring a noteworthy evolutionary innovation. In sum, the earliest foot morphologies of caviomorphs are very important in identifying evolutionary tendencies and the origin of their postcranial disparity.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTMany scientific disciplines are faced with the challenge of extracting meaningful information from large, complex and highly structured datasets. A significant portion of contemporary statistical research is dedicated to developing tools for handling such data. This paper introduces a functional linear regression model specifically designed for 3D facial shapes, which are viewed as manifolds. We propose a comprehensive framework that includes converting 3D facial data into functional objects, employing a functional principal component analysis method and utilising a function‐on‐scalar regression model. This framework facilitates computation for high‐dimensional data and is employed to investigate how individual traits, such as age and genetic ancestry, impact the diversity of human facial features.
Content and language integrated learning in Cambodia's higher education: A study of an Introduction to ASEAN course
Authors: Chap Vikrant , Wright Wayne E. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractContent and language integrated learning (CLIL) is a European bilingual education model that focuses on the use of an additional language to enable simultaneous learning of content and language. This study used CLIL as a framework to examine educational stakeholders' perspectives and practices in an Introduction to ASEAN course taught as part of a Bachelor of English degree program at the World Language Institute (WLI) in Cambodia. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi‐structured interviews, and a focus group. The findings revealed three key themes: integrating disciplinary knowledge into a language subject, balancing and supporting content and language learning, and developing academic and subject literacies. The discussion focuses on the issue of content and language integration from CLIL standpoints and the conceptualization of integration with pedagogical implications. The article concludes with implications for teaching to help administrators, teachers, and students systematically approach content and language learning with keen attention to disciplinary knowledge and language mastery.

Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTOne of the most promising nanoscale materials for photodegradation is ruthenium oxide nanoparticles, which are abbreviated as RuO2 nanoparticles. Ruthenium oxide nanoparticles (RuO2 NPs) are promising nanomaterials for photodegradation. Several research methods have examined their size, phase study, and shape. We also examined RuO2 nanoparticle photocatalysis in rhodamine‐B (RhB) and acridine orange (AO) dyes degradation. We discovered that these nanoparticles were highly photocatalytic when exposed to UV light. This non‐toxic method uses no solvents. Analyzing synthesized RuO2 nanoparticles required FESEM, XRD, XPS (x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), and UV‐visible spectroscopy. The newly synthesized nanoparticles were evaluated for catalytic activity by degrading RhB and AO dyes. After the first‐order reaction, kinetics determined the photocatalytic efficiency against RhB and AO dyes, which degraded at 84% and 82%, respectively. A tamarind plant study found no phytotoxicity in treated effluents. RuO2 catalysts degrade organic dyes in industrial wastewater efficiently and inexpensively. The study shows RuO2 nanoparticles as very effective photocatalysts for degrading organic dyes, exhibiting better performance than conventional materials. In addition, it assesses the phytotoxicity of RuO2 nanoparticles, offering valuable information about their environmental consequences and safety for prospective widespread application.

Published: November 2024

AbstractBackgroundUp to 45% of patients may have persistently elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels after curative parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), although the clinical significance is unclear. We aimed to assess the long‐term clinical significance of persistently elevated PTH early after parathyroidectomy.MethodsA prospectively collected institutional database was queried for patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for sporadic PHPT between 12/99 and 6/22 and had normal serum calcium levels at 6 months postoperatively. Demographic and clinical data were collected, including diagnoses associated with secondary HPT (gastrointestinal malabsorptive diseases, kidney disease, and vitamin D deficiency). Patients were divided into two groups: normal PTH or elevated PTH at 6 months postoperatively. The rate of persistently elevated PTH, average time to PTH normalization, and time to recurrence were determined.ResultsThe final cohort included 1146 patients; 849 (91%) had normal PTH levels and 194 (17%) had early postoperative normocalcemia with elevated PTH at 6 months postoperatively. Among 194 patients (mean follow‐up: 50 ± 53 months), 14 (7.2%) developed recurrent pHPT and 86 (44.3%) had normalization of PTH levels (median time to normalization: 12 months) (IQR: 9 and 15). There was no difference in the presence of diagnoses associated with secondary HPT between patients who had recurrent PHPT, normalization of PTH levels, or remained normocalcemic with persistently elevated PTH levels. The median time to recurrence was 22 months (IQR: 11 and 48) for the 7.2% of patients who developed recurrent PHPT compared to 2.4% in the 849 patients with normal calcium and PTH levels at 6 months (p < 0.001).ConclusionsFollowing curative parathyroidectomy, persistent elevation of PTH levels is not uncommon. Although most patients have a durable cure, it may be an early sign of persistent/recurrent PHPT. Long‐term surveillance for recurrence is necessary.
Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Subgrid Flows from Tracer Image Sequences
Authors: Resseguier Valentin 
Published: November 2024

AbstractFrom a sequence of tracer satellite images, several methods (e.g. optical flow) exist to successfully estimate the main advecting current. Yet, this estimate is limited in resolution. To go beyond, we propose a new parametric estimation method to estimate second-order statistics of the residual small-scale velocity. We first express stochastic transport in a discrete setting to apply standard MLE techniques. Then we propose an efficient method to solve the MLE optimization problem through a fast log-likelihood gradient evaluation algorithm.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe simulation of planetary flows at all the scales that have a significant impact on the climate system is unachievable with nowadays computational resources. Parametrization of the scales smaller than the simulation resolution is thus crucial to correctly resolve the ocean dynamics. In this work, a novel parametrization of the subgrid scales by means of the wavelet transform is introduced in the shallow water and primitive models within the so-called Location Uncertainty framework.
Average Dissipation for Stochastic Transport Equations with Lévy Noise
Authors: Flandoli Franco , Papini Andrea , Rehmeier Marco 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe show that, in one spatial and arbitrary jump dimension, the averaged solution of a Marcus-type SPDE with pure jump Lévy transport noise satisfies a dissipative deterministic equation involving a fractional Laplace-type operator. To this end, we identify the correct associated Lévy measure for the driving noise. We consider this a first step in the direction of a non-local version of enhanced dissipation, a phenomenon recently proven to occur for Brownian transport noise and the associated local parabolic PDE by the first author. Moreover, we present numerical simulations, supporting the fact that dissipation occurs for the averaged solution, with a behavior akin to the diffusion due to a fractional Laplacian, but not in a pathwise sense.
General Solution Theory for the Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations
Authors: Goodair Daniel 
Published: November 2024

AbstractWe demonstrate how solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes Equations with transport and advection noise can be recovered through recent developments in the solution theory for stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs). Local-in-time and global-in-time results are presented. Applications to the Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations posed on the torus and a smooth bounded domain are detailed; in the latter case, both the no-slip and Navier boundary conditions are considered. Martingale weak solutions in 3D and weak solutions in 2D are proven in all cases. In 2D, strong solutions for the torus and Navier boundary are shown, whilst local strong solutions on the torus in 3D are also retrieved.

Extreme ultra-short-term changes in air temperature in January in southern Poland (the example of Sosnowiec) against the background of atmospheric circulation conditions
Authors: Falarz Małgorzata 
Published: November 2024

AbstractLarge short-term changes in air temperature affect the functioning of living organisms in the environment and human activities. For this reason, a study of extreme positive and negative 10 min temperature changes and their causes related to atmospheric circulation was undertaken. Air temperature data for January in the period 2001–2017 in southern Poland (Sosnowiec) were analysed. Extreme ultra-short-term temperature changes were considered to be values less than or equal to 0.1 percentile (extreme temperature drops) and greater than or equal to 99.9 percentile (extreme temperature increases). The extreme ultra-short-term negative air temperature change was − 7.2°C/10 min, while the positive change was + 3.5 °C/10 min. Extreme ultra-short-term negative air temperature changes in southern Poland in January occur most frequently with the advection of air from the west (43% of cases), the inflow of maritime Polar old (transformed) air over Poland (25% of cases), western cyclonic (Wc) and north-western cyclonic (NWc) situations, a total of 34% of cases), the passage of the atmospheric front over southern Poland (59% of cases), especially a cold front (68% of cases with a front). Extreme ultra-short-term positive changes of air temperature in southern Poland in January occur most frequently with the advection of air from the south-west (43% of cases), the inflow of continental Polar air (42% of cases), anticyclonic situations (72% of cases), the occurrence of a high-pressure wedge over southern Poland (26% of cases), situations without atmospheric front (80% of cases). The direction of advection plays a secondary role in determining the values of extreme short-term changes in air temperature. More important is the speed of the influx of this air mass. Extreme ultra-short-term temperature changes are partly explained by circulation conditions. Rapid temperature changes can also occur as a result of small-scale processes in the atmosphere.
The Delay of Recanalisation of Acutely Thrombosed Dialysis Arteriovenous Access Until the Next Workday has No Negative Impact on Clinical Outcome

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Purpose
The necessity of providing endovascular recanalization of acutely thrombosed arteriovenous access (AV access) during weekend is questionable, since hemodialysis can alternatively be achieved by temporarily placed non-tunneled central venous catheters (CVC). Interventional therapy of acutely thrombosed AV access is provided only on weekdays in the study center. This study aimed to compare outcomes in patients admitted on weekdays and on the weekend.

Methods
A total of 355 endovascular procedures for thrombosed AV access performed in a single tertiary center from 2007 to 2017 were retrospectively analyzed for technical and clinical success, complications, rate of CVC and length of hospitalization. Technical success was defined as adequate blood flow with less than 30% residual stenosis, clinical success was defined as at least one successful hemodialysis after recanalization. There were two groups: patients who had to wait at least 2 days for recanalization due to admission at the weekend (n = 59, at-the-weekend group, ATW group) and patients receiving therapy no later than the day after admission (n = 296, on a working day group, OAW group).

Results
The technical/clinical success rate was 96.6%/88.1% in the ATW and 89.1%/84.6% in the OAW group (p > .05). Complications did not differ among groups (p > .05). Despite a higher rate of CVC, no attributed additional adverse events or complications were observed in the ATW group (p > .05).

Conclusion
Despite a longer time until treatment and a higher rate of short-term CVC, it seems to be justified to provide recanalization of dialysis shunts only during weekdays.

Interspecific competition among anemonefishes: pink anemonefish engage in hostile takeovers of sea anemones occupied by clown anemonefish
Authors: Rueger T. , Barbasch T. A. , Versteeg M. , Campbell A. , Buston P. M. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Understanding drivers of species co-existence on coral reefs is important to predict community responses to environmental change. Here, we present, for the first time, observations of takeovers of anemones occupied by one species, Amphiprion percula, by another species, A. perideraion, and ask if habitat characteristics, fish characteristics, or environmental conditions predict these occurrences. Comparing survey data from multiple years, we find that takeovers occur at a frequency of 0.48–6.84 per 100 groups/year and that this does not depend on disturbances (anemone bleaching) in the population. Takeovers are not predicted by depth, anemone size, A. percula rank 1 size or the number of A. percula in the original group. Instead, we hypothesize that proximity of the A. percula group to the A. perideraion group is a key predictor. Our study demonstrates how long-term observations of tagged individuals and groups could reveal the drivers and consequences of interspecific conflicts on coral reefs.
