Melanin Hydrogel Inverse Opal Microneedle Patches for Wound Healing
Authors: Lu Minhui , Cao Xinyue , Luo Zhiqiang , Bian Feika , Wang Yu , Zhao Yuanjin 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBacterial infected wounds bring an economic burden to the worldwide medical care field. A variety of bioactives‐integrated hydrogel patches are developed in response to this challenge. Here, the melanin hydrogel inverse opal microneedle patches (MNs) with antioxidant and visual color sensing abilities for the management of bacterial infected wounds are proposed. The MNs are fabricated by applying melanin‐loaded polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) as the inverse opal hydrogel and using bacitracin‐carried gelatin to fill those nanopores of hydrogel scaffold. Benefitting from the antioxidant capacity of melanin nanoparticles and the local antimicrobial ability of bacitracin, the resulting MNs possess the integrated functions of reactive oxygen species scavenging and antibacterial. Besides, the inverse opal structure endows the MNs with vivid structure color and detectable reflected wavelength, which can gradually shift with the release of the drug, thus allowing MNs to assess the drug delivery. Based on these characteristics, MNs perform excellent in in vitro drug delivery and monitoring, as well as the promotion of bacterial infected wound recovery in vivo, indicating the potential of MNs in the future wound management field.

Published: October 2024

AbstractGait detection is essential for the assessment of human health status and early diagnosis of diseases. The current gait analysis systems are bulky, limited in the scope of use, and cause interference with the movement of the measured person. Hence, it is necessary to develop a wearable gait detection system that is soft, breathable, lightweight, and self‐powered. Here, a plantar pressure sensor array and gait analysis system based on a flexible triboelectric pressure sensor (FTPS) array is developed. Soft, breathable, and wearable electrospinning nanofiber film with excellent triboelectric properties is used as the plantar pressure sensor, achieving a high sensitivity of 45.1 mV kPa−1 in the range of 40–200 kPa and 19.4 mV kPa−1 in the range of 200–400 kpa. 32 FTPSs are integrated into an intelligent insole, which has the characteristics of soft, easy production, good air permeability, long‐time stability, no external power supply, and etc. Based on the long short‐term memory artificial neural network deep learning model, the accuracy of gait judgment can reach 94.23%. This work provides a feasible solution for real‐time gait detection, which will have potential applications in human health assessment and early diagnosis of disease.
Innovative Wearable Electronics: Next‐Generation Nitrogen‐Doped Lutetium‐Carbon Microspheres Composites for Robust Energy Harvesting

Published: October 2024

AbstractIn the quest to advance wearable electronics, this study presents a novel method using nitrogen‐doped lutetium‐carbon microspheres (N, Lu‐CMS) for high‐performance piezoelectric energy harvesting. The synthesis of N, Lu‐CMS begins with the polymerization of sucrose, followed by the preparation of N, Lu‐CMS metal complexes through the incorporation of lutetium (III) nitrate hydrate and thiourea, yielding a black powder product. The wearable electronic device is designed with a silicon rubber (SR) matrix, reinforced with 0D fillers such as N, Lu‐CMS, or molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). Mechanical testing revealed a significant improvement in compressive modulus, reaching 3.7 MPa (N, Lu‐CMS) at a concentration of 3 parts per hundred rubber (phr). Electromechanical assessments demonstrated efficient energy conversion, while biomechanical analysis, including thumb pressing tests, showed a notable increase in output voltage, peaking at ≈285 mV (N, Lu‐CMS) at 3 phr. This research provides a foundation for future engineering applications, particularly in electronic packaging for wearable electronics and smart devices, underscoring the significant impact of N, Lu‐CMS in this emerging field. The surface power density achieved is 0.026 nW cm−2 (N, Lu‐CMS) and 0.0056 nW cm−2 (Hybrid). Lastly, the conversion efficiency is 6.26% for N, Lu‐CMS, and 1.05% for the hybrid system.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAs a novel energy harvesting technology, bettering the output performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) is vital. Although quite a number methods to increase charge density have been proposed, challenges such as high impedance matching and low output current persist, severely limit the energy utilization efficiency of TENGs. Here, a new power management circuit (PMC) is proposed that through charge storage and release strategy. This circuit first excites the surface charge of the TENG using the charge excitation circuit, and then releases the stored charge through a self‐triggered switch. Compared to a standard TENG, the output current of the TENG with this PMC is increased by a factor of 1108, the impedance is decreased from 100 MΩ to 10 kΩ, and the energy utilization efficiency is markedly improved. This work affords a reference for enhancing the output performance of TENG, reducing impedance, and broading the utility attainable of TENGs.

ABSTRACTBackgroundUnderstanding the nature of inflammatory responses in cats with bacterial and viral infections is essential for accurately managing the infection. This study aimed to investigate the diversities of inflammatory responses between bacterial and viral infections in cats to figure out their role in the pathophysiology of these infections.MethodsSeventy‐five owned cats were included in the study. The evaluations were performed based on three groups: healthy control, bacterial infection group (those with bronchopneumonia and gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract infections) and viral infection group (21 with feline coronavirus [FCoV], 3 with feline leukaemia virus [FeLV] and 1 with feline calicivirus), each containing 25 individuals. Total and differential leukocyte counts, C‐reactive protein (CRP), transforming growth factor beta (TGF‐β), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), tumour necrosis factor‐alpha (TNF‐α), interleukin‐1 beta (IL‐1β) and interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) concentrations were assessed in the blood samples collected from sick and healthy animals.ResultsNo statistically significant difference was noted in serum TNF‐α, IL‐1β and IL‐10 concentrations of the infected cats (p = 0.996, p = 0.160 and p = 0.930, respectively). Serum TGF‐β concentration in the viral infection group was reduced compared to the healthy control (p = 0.001). In contrast, WBC count and IL‐6 and CRP concentrations were increased in the cats with bronchopneumonia, gastrointestinal tract infections and urinary tract infections compared to the healthy control and viral infection groups (p = 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively).ConclusionThis study revealed significant differences between bacterial and viral infections regarding the fashion of inflammatory responses in cats, and the relevant data will undoubtedly contribute to the management and control of feline infectious diseases, rendering the development of novel therapeutic strategies.

ZusammenfassungNach einer oftmals als lebensbedrohlich empfundenen Situation berichten Menschen manchmal von sogenannten Nahtoderfahrungen (NTE). Sie erzählen von einem Heraustreten aus dem eigenen Körper («Out-of-body-experience», OBE), von Begegnungen mit Verstorbenen oder religiösen bzw. übernatürlichen Wesen, von unfassbaren Ereignissen, Energien, von einer Lebensrückschau, von schwer zu treffenden Entscheidungen zwischen Leben und Tod und von regelrecht überwältigenden Gefühlen, die kaum in Worte zu fassen seien. Einige Berichtende sind in der Folge davon überzeugt, dass sie dem Tod gewissermassen «begegnet» seien und ihnen Einblick ins Jenseits gewährt wurde.

ZusammenfassungDie Thanatologie als Wissenschaft des Sterbens und des Todes beschäftigt sich aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen sowohl auf der Metaebene als auch anhand von konkreten Situationen mit dem Tod und dem Sterbeprozess bei dessen explizitem oder absehbarem Ein- und Auftreten. Dazu gehören auch die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit religiösen Bestattungsriten oder mit professioneller Pflege von unheilbar Kranken, mit dem Umgang mit sterbenden Menschen, ethischen Fragestellungen zum Beispiel zu Hospizeinrichtungen, aktiver und passiver Sterbehilfe und Weiteres. Dabei wird der Sterbeprozess aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive analysiert und die Todesdefinitionen werden problematisiert, wobei alle sich darauf beziehenden Disziplinen den Anspruch erheben, sich wissenschaftlich mit dem Thema Sterben und Tod auseinanderzusetzen.
Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics
Authors: de Boer Jan , Liška Diego , Post Boris 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean wormholes in pure 3D gravity. The nth cyclic non-Gaussian contraction of heavy-heavy-light OPE coefficients follows from crossing symmetry of the thermal n-point function. We derive universal expressions for the cubic and quartic moments and demonstrate that their scaling with the microcanonical entropy agrees with a generalization of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. Motivated by this result, we conjecture that the full statistical ensemble of OPE data is fixed by three premises: typicality, crossing symmetry and modular invariance. Together, these properties give predictions for non-factorizing observables, such as the generalized spectral form factor. Using the Virasoro TQFT, we match these connected averages to new on-shell wormhole topologies with multiple boundary components. Lastly, we study and clarify examples where the statistics of heavy operators are not universal and depend on the light operator spectrum. We give a gravitational interpretation to these corrections in terms of Wilson loops winding around non-trivial cycles in the bulk.

All-loop group-theory constraints for four-point amplitudes of SU(N), SO(N), and Sp(N) gauge theories
Authors: Naculich Stephen G. , Osathapan Athis 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In the decomposition of gauge-theory amplitudes into kinematic and color factors, the color factors (at a given loop order L) span a proper subspace of the extended trace space (which consists of single and multiple traces of generators of the gauge group, graded by powers of N). Using an iterative process, we systematically construct the L-loop color space of four-point amplitudes of fields in the adjoint representation of SU(N), SO(N), or Sp(N). We define the null space as the orthogonal complement of the color space. For SU(N), we confirm the existence of four independent null vectors (for L ≥ 2) and for SO(N) and Sp(N), we establish the existence of seventeen independent null vectors (for L ≥ 5). Each null vector corresponds to a group-theory constraint on the color-ordered amplitudes of the gauge theory.
On massive higher spin supermultiplets in d = 4
Authors: Zinoviev Yu. M. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
In this work we discuss the cubic interactions for massless spin 3/2 gravitino with massive higher spin supermultiplets using three superblocks (2, 3/2), (5/2, 2) and (3, 5/2) as the first non-trivial examples. We use gauge invariant formalism for the massive higher spin fields and, as is common in such cases, we face an ambiguity related with the possible field redefinitions due to the presence of Stueckelberg fields. From one hand, we show how this ambiguity can be used as one more way to classify possible cubic vertices. We also note that all these field redefinitions do not change the part of the Lagrangian which appears in the unitary gauge (where all Stueckelberg fields are set to zero) so we still have some important independent results. From the other hand, we show how using the so-called unfolded formalism one can fix these ambiguities and obtain consistent deformations for all massive field gauge invariant curvatures which is the most important step in the Fradkin-Vasiliev formalism. Unfortunately, this works for the massive fields only so the way to construct deformations for the massless field curvatures is still has to be found.
The infamous 95 GeV $$ \textrm{b}\overline{\textrm{b}} $$ excess at LEP: two b or not two b?
Authors: Janot Patrick 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
A small deviation observed around 95 GeV in the diphoton invariant mass distribution in the LHC Run 2 data has been subject to considerable attention in the past couple of years. The interpretation of this excess as the manifestation of an additional scalar particle at this mass is often claimed to be supported by a previously observed, even smaller, excess in the $$ \textrm{b}\overline{\textrm{b}} $$

This short note aims at confronting this claim to factual experimental observations, through a careful scrutiny of the detailed LEP public notes written at the time on the topic. It is found that the LEP data strongly disfavour the production of a new 95 GeV scalar particle, as well as any other new physics interpretation in the 95–100 GeV mass range.

Protecting Distributed Primitives Against Leakage: Equivocal Secret Sharing and more
Authors: Hazay Carmit , Venkitasubramaniam Muthuramakrishnan , Weiss Mor 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
Leakage-resilient cryptography aims to protect cryptographic primitives from so-called “side channel attacks” that exploit their physical implementation to learn their input or secret state. Starting from the works of Ishai, Sahai and Wagner (CRYPTO‘03) and Micali and Reyzin (TCC‘04), most works on leakage-resilient cryptography either focus on protecting general computations, such as circuits or multiparty computation protocols, or on specific non-interactive primitives such as storage, encryption, and signatures. This work focuses on leakage resilience for the middle ground, namely for distributed and interactive cryptographic primitives. Our main technical contribution is designing the first secret sharing scheme that is equivocal, resists adaptive probing of a constant fraction of bits from each share, while incurs only a constant blowup in share size. Equivocation is a strong leakage-resilience guarantee, recently introduced by Hazay et al. (ITC, 2021). Our construction is obtained via a general compiler which we introduce, that transforms any secret sharing scheme into an equivocal scheme against adaptive leakage. An attractive feature of our compiler is that it respects additive reconstruction; namely, if the original scheme has additive reconstruction, then the transformed scheme has linear reconstruction. We extend our compiler to a general paradigm for protecting distributed primitives against leakage and show its applicability to various primitives, including secret sharing, verifiable secret sharing, function secret sharing, distributed encryption and signatures, and distributed zero-knowledge proofs. For each of these primitives, our paradigm transforms any construction of the primitive into a scheme that resists adaptive party corruptions, as well as adaptive probing leakage of a constant fraction of bits in each share when the share is stored in memory (but not when it is used in computations). Moreover, the transformation incurs only a constant blowup in the share size and respects additive reconstruction—an important feature for several of these primitives, such as function secret sharing and distributed encryption.

Lifetime Adversity and Risky Substance Use among Transgender Emerging Adults: Selected Interventions and Clinical Social Work Practice
Authors: Tubman Jonathan G. , Galo Gustavo E. 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This study investigated multivariate relations between indicators of lifetime adversity and past year risky substance use reported by an Internet-recruited sample of transgender emerging adults from the United States (N = 248, age M = 22.61 years). Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) documented the canonical correlation between canonical variates in this sample (.362), as well as the amount of shared variance (13.1%) between set of variables representing lifetime adversity and past year risky substance use. Examination of the standardized canonical coefficients and structure coefficients highlighted the important contributions of (a) past year drug use and negative consequences of substance use to the synthetic criterion variable and (b) lifetime intimate partner violence to the synthetic predictor variable. Information generated in this study about how specific observed variables contributed to canonical variates may be used to tailor trauma-informed selected interventions in clinical socialwork practice with transgender emerging adults who report substance use problems.
Kripke contra Kripke – Semantic Reference as Conventionalized Speaker’s Reference
Authors: Smit J. P. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractI argue that Kripke’s construal of the distinction between speaker’s reference and semantic reference, in ‘Speaker’s reference and semantic reference’ (Kripke in Midwest Stud Philos 2:255–276, 1977), in conjunction with an intuitive view of the nature of conventions, implies a theory of semantic reference that is distinct from his causal theory. On this theory, semantic reference is conventionalized speaker’s reference. The argument concerning Kripke has two general implications. First, any theory that features a notion of speaker’s reference will have great difficulty in avoiding the view that semantic reference is conventionalized speaker’s reference. Second, theories that deny that there is a viable notion of speaker’s reference, and thereby deny that semantic reference is conventionalized speaker’s reference, will face an uphill battle in meeting certain general constraints originating in the theory of conventions.
Does the Disclosure of Proprietary Information About Loan Losses Pose a Threat to Financial Stability?
Authors: Thinggaard Frank , Bartholdy Jan 
Published: October 2024

AbstractConcerns have been expressed that public disclosure of outcomes from regulatory inspections of banks could lead to contagion and instability in the financial systems. This paper exploits Denmark's system of open inspection reports to analyze whether announcements of required increases in loan loss reserves by the Danish supervisory authorities, following an ordinary bank inspection, lead to contagion in financial markets. We find strong evidence of negative returns for the announcing banks over the period 2009–2020, suggesting that inspection reports containing proprietary information about loan losses provide value-relevant news to investors. We also find statistically significant contagion effects in the share price reactions among non-announcing peer banks. However, the reactions of other, non-affected banks are mild and confined to smaller banks, which is reassuring from a systemic risk perspective. Overall, our findings support the use of accounting disclosures as a policy tool for bank supervisors.
