Santa Juana: The Opening Season in Spain (1925–26)
Authors: Rodríguez Martín Gustavo A. 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
This article describes and analyzes the production of Santa Juana (the Spanish version of Saint Joan, translated by Julio Broutá) staged by Margarita Xirgu and her company during the 1925–26 season. The outlook of this article is informed by a number of elements that contribute to provide a holistic account of this historic production. First is the sociopolitical situation of Spain at the time, under the military dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. In more specific terms, while a brief overview of the Spanish theater scene is in order, the fundamental considerations here have to do with the personal and professional qualities of lead actress and impresario Margarita Xirgu, as well as with the technical details of the production. In addition, this article also provides a summary of the critical reception of Santa Juana in the Spanish press.
Plays Present and Unpresent: Updating Shaw's Drama in Performance
Authors: Christian Mary 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
Present-day directors of Shaw's plays, like Shaw himself, have expressed concern regarding the plays' possible dating, yet are ambivalent at the prospect of modernizing them. This article discusses the potential opportunities and challenges of setting Shaw's plays in the present. Peter Hinton's 2015 Shaw Festival production of Pygmalion serves as a case study, using costume and set design, video, and revised characterizations to reinforce and refocus the play's concern with class hierarchy and upward mobility. Hinton's production offers an example of the ways in which a carefully considered modernization of Shaw's work can not only demonstrate the continuing relevance of the social problems Shaw dramatized, but also illustrate more effectively the role of such problems in shaping individual personalities and relationships.
Schism and the Spirit in Hugh Bourne's Theology
Authors: Pedlar James E. 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
It is normally argued that theological issues were not at stake in the separation of the Primitive Methodist Connexion from Wesleyan Methodism. While it is true that the flashpoint issues were methodological, there were underlying theological differences that contributed to the schism. Primitive Methodist co-founder Hugh Bourne had a pneumatocentric theology that prioritized the personal work of the Holy Spirit over the Spirit's work through the community. His Spirit-centred perspective led the Primitive Methodists to a more participatory and egalitarian understanding of the church, but offered little reason to resist separation from Wesleyan Methodism when conflict arose.

Ha existido un progreso considerable en la lucha contra la malaria en el mundo. En Honduras encontramos una reducción de los casos de más de 17,000 a 3,564 en la última década. Para cumplir con las metas de eliminación de la malaria, las estrategias deben de considerar a todos los individuos infectados por malaria en las intervenciones, por lo que adquiere mayor valor los esfuerzos enfocados en identificar las infecciones asintomáticas. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la prevalencia de casos de infección asintomática de malaria en 3 comunidades del municipio de Iriona, Colón, Honduras para enero del 2015. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal, en las comunidades de Ciriboya, Punta Piedra y Cusuna, Colón durante enero del 2015. Mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple se incluyeron 145 participantes. Se realizó el diagnóstico de infección de malaria asintomática mediante gota gruesa, PCR convencional y PCR anidada. En el análisis microscópico no se detectaron muestras de gota gruesa positivas, resultando en una prevalencia de 0.00%. El abordaje molecular tampoco detectó infecciones. Los hallazgos de este estudio concuerdan con el patrón de estudios anteriores en Honduras y con el avance que se ha tenido contra la malaria en el país. La detección activa de casos es recomendada para intervenciones en lugares donde la transmisión de la malaria se ha reducido hasta niveles bajos, por lo que su implementación en Honduras debe de ser parte de la estrategia integral de los programas de eliminación.

Published: May 2018

AbstractCarbon‐based materials are considered to be one of the most promising materials for negative electrodes of the future, because of their good chemical stability, high electrical conductivity, and environmental benignity. However, to date, the underlying principles of K‐ion storage in carbonaceous anodes remain elusive, which greatly hinders the development of such a category of anodes. Herein, the ultrastable K‐ion storage of carbonaceous anode through systematic analyses, including comprehensive electrochemical characterizations, kinetics calculations, and structural/compositional evolution mechanism studies, is theoretically elucidated and experimentally verified. Specifically, it is found that the uniquely envelope‐like nitrogen‐doped carbon nanosheets with high pseudocapacitive could bring ultrastable storage of potassium ions, delivering a high initial reversible capacity of 367 mAh g−1 at a current density of 50 mA g−1 and retain 70.5 and 75.6% at current densities of 500 and 1000 mA g−1 after 1000th cycle, respectively. This study could enlighten researchers on further progress in the field of carbonaceous K‐ion battery negative electrode with a long cycle life.

AbstractThe poor UV, thermal, and interfacial stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) makes it highly challenging for their technological application, and has drawn increasing attention to resolving the above issues. In nature, plants generally sustain long exposure to UV illumination without damage, which is attributed to the presence of the organic materials acting as sunscreens. Inspired by the natural phenomenon, a natural plant sunscreen, sinapoyl malate, an ester derivative of sinapic acid, is employed to modify the surface of electron transport materials (ETMs). The interfacial modification successfully resolved the UV stability and reduced the poor interfacial contact between ETM and perovskite. The best efficiency of fabricated PSCs is up to 19.6%. Furthermore, we employed a mixture of Co(II) and Co(III)‐based porphyrin compounds containing the excellent Co(II)/Co(III) redox couple to substitute the commonly used hole transport material, 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrakis(N,N‐di‐p‐methoxyphenylamine)‐9,9‐spiro‐bifluorene (spiro‐OMeTAD), to resolve the thermal degradation of PSCs noted at and above 80 °C that originates from ion diffusion of I− and CH3NH3+ (MA+) ions from perovskite into spiro‐OMeTAD. Finally, the stable PSCs with the best efficiency up to 20.5% are successfully fabricated.

AbstractFlexible inorganic‐based micro light‐emitting diodes (µLEDs) are emerging as a significant technology for flexible displays, which is an important area for bilateral visual communication in the upcoming Internet of Things era. Conventional flexible lateral µLEDs have been investigated by several researchers, but still have significant issues of power consumption, thermal stability, lifetime, and light‐extraction efficiency on plastics. Here, high‐performance flexible vertical GaN light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) are demonstrated by silver nanowire networks and monolithic fabrication. Transparent, ultrathin GaN LED arrays adhere to a human fingernail and stably glow without any mechanical deformation. Experimental studies provide outstanding characteristics of the flexible vertical μLEDs (f‐VLEDs) with high optical power (30 mW mm−2), long lifetime (≈12 years), and good thermal/mechanical stability (100 000 bending/unbending cycles). The wireless light‐emitting system on the human skin is successfully realized by transferring the electrical power f‐VLED. Finally, the high‐density GaN f‐VLED arrays are inserted onto a living mouse cortex and operated without significant histological damage of brain.

AbstractHeterogeneously integrated 2D van der Waals (vdW) solids composed of compositionally distinct atomic layers are envisioned to exhibit exotic electrical/optical properties unattainable with their monocomponent counterparts. However, the underlying principle for their morphology‐controlled chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth and its associated growth variables have not been clarified, leaving their projected technological opportunities far from being realized. Herein, by employing tungsten trioxide (WO3) nanowires as a model system that uniquely enables the detailed atomic‐scale inspections of 2D/2D interfaces, the CVD growth mechanism of 2D molybdenum/tungsten disulfide vdW vertical stacks is studied. By employing extensive transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization, an intriguing growth mode transition is identified in these materials, i.e., 2D/2D layer‐by‐layer horizontal epitaxy to 2D/3D vertical layer reorientation, and it is confirmed that it is driven by varying 2D layer numbers. Corroborating molecular dynamics simulations clarify that the internal strain accumulated during the course of 2D layers growth dictates the final growth mode, further supported by TEM strain map analysis. This study not only sheds a new insight on better understanding the growth principles for 2D vdW heterostructures but also offers important technical guidance on tailoring their functionalities toward exploring 2D/2D heterojunction devices.
A General Strategy for In Situ Growth of All‐Inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Br, I, and Cl) Perovskite Nanocrystals in Polymer Fibers toward Significantly Enhanced Water/Thermal Stabilities

AbstractCurrently, all‐inorganic CsPbX3 (X = Br, I, and Cl) perovskites (IPs) are emerging as excellent candidate materials for exploring optoelectronic devices, due to their superior optical/electronic performances. However, their intrinsic poor stability greatly limits their practical applications. Here, a general strategy is reported for in situ growth of all‐inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (IPNCs) in polymer fibers with highly uniform size and spatial distribution, which is based on one‐step electrospinning of solutions containing IPs precursors and polymers. It is verified that the IPNCs of CsPbX3 can be uniformly encapsulated within the polymer fibers with finely tuned compositions, by rationally adjusting the ratios of PbX2 and CsX salts in the raw solutions. Consequently, the photoluminescence (PL) emissions of CsPbX3@polymer fibers can be readily tuned to cover the whole visible range. The obtained CsPbBr3@polymer fibers exhibit fundamentally improved water/thermal stabilities with a PL quantum yield (QY) of 48%. Their PL QY retains beyond 70% of its original value after being immersed in water for 192 h and maintains over 50% after being heated at 80 °C for 120 min. Furthermore, the light emitting diodes with high brightness based on CsPbBr3@polymer fibers are constructed, suggesting their promising applications.

AbstractBlack phosphorus (BP) has recently triggered an unprecedented interest in the 2D community. However, many of its unique properties are not exploited and the well‐known environmental vulnerability is not conquered. Herein, a type‐I mixed‐dimensional (0D‐1D) van der Waals heterojunction is developed, where three‐atomic‐layer BP quantum dots (QDs) are assembled on a single ZnO nanorod (NR). By adjusting the indium (In) content in ZnO NRs, the degree and even the direction of surface charge transfer doping within the heterojunction can be tuned, which result in selective Raman scattering enhancements between ZnO and BP. The maximal enhancement factor is determined as 4340 for BP QDs with sub‐ppm level. Furthermore, an unexpected long‐term ambient stability (more than six months) of BP QDs is revealed, which is ascribed to the electron doping from ZnO:In NRs. The first demonstration of selective Raman enhancements between two inorganic semiconductors as well as the improved stability of BP shed light on this emerging 2D material.
A Memory Structure with Different Control Gates

Published: May 2018

AbstractMemory is a key and fundamental component in integrated circuits (IC). A dominant volatile memory is the dynamic random access memory (DRAM) with one transistor and one capacitor, whose footprint is comparable to about two transistors. Memory structure needs further simplification according to IC's scaling‐down requirement. However, most updated structures at present are still mainly limited in lab. Here, a memory structure with one transistor is demonstrated. The advantages of this new structure over conventional memory structures include the simplification of the structure by saving a capacitor space in DRAM, and thus the simplification of fabrication process. Typical characterization of the memory device is also performed, and very quick response time (≈1 ns), which is faster than most present memories in the foundry, that is, 2 ns or more, is reported. Both simulation and experiments are performed to explain the memory working mechanism. The memory programming functions are implemented through the junction caused by control gate. This structure could be scaled down by using lithography processes in the foundry, which could ensure a fair reliability and enable immediate applications for information technology electronics as a potential alternative candidate for DRAM.
Toward an environmentally sustainable natural gas‐based ethylene production process through exergy‐aided pinch analysis
Authors: Ghannadzadeh Ali , Sadeqzadeh Majid 
Published: May 2018

AbstractThis paper presents a case study on improving the energy integration of a gas‐based ethylene process by focusing on major sources of thermal exergy losses. Exergy analysis is used to find the main sources of thermal exergetic inefficiency. Thermal solutions are then developed, leading to a comprehensive list of cold and hot process streams that could potentially reduce exergy losses from these sources. Pinch analysis is then carried out to screen these streams so only those, which can minimize the energy requirement, are maintained. Besides this, pinch analysis is used to select utilities and to explore cogeneration potential. Thus, the methodology used in this paper takes advantage of both exergy and pinch analyses, in a way that all the possible thermal solutions supported by exergy analysis are considered, preventing exclusion of any hot or cold process stream with high potential for heat integration during pinch analysis.
Guaranteed‐Performance Consensualization for High‐Order Lipschitz Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems with Balanced Directed Switching Topologies
Authors: Zheng Tang , Xi Jianxiang , Fan Zhiliang , Liu Guangbin 
Published: May 2018

AbstractGuaranteed‐performance consensus design problems for both the leaderless and leader‐following high‐order multi‐agent systems with balanced directed switching topologies and Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics are investigated. Consensus protocols and quadratic performance functions based on state errors are proposed to obtain the guaranteed‐performance consensus. By a state decomposition method, the consensualization problems for leaderless cases are transformed into asymptotic stability ones of a reduced‐order subsystem and the guaranteed‐performance cost is determined by the Lyapunov stability analysis of the reduced‐order subsystem, and the state error method is utilized to deal with the guaranteed‐performance consensualization problems for leader‐following cases. Then, by using the structure property of the transformation matrix and the Lipschitz condition, the impacts of Lipschitz nonlinear terms can be determined. Moreover, guaranteed‐performance consensualization criteria are presented based on linear matrix inequalities for both leaderless and leader‐following cases with directed switching topologies. Furthermore, the guaranteed‐performance costs are determined, which can respectively reflect the structures of the interaction topologies of leaderless and leader‐following cases. Finally, two numerical simulations are presented to verify the validity of theoretical results.

AbstractObjectivesTo assess the efficacy and safety of the Xience Prime everolimus‐eluting stent (EES) in long coronary lesions in a real‐world population.BackgroundLong lesions are considered difficult technically and in terms of achieving successful clinical outcomes. With first generation DES, MACE can be as high as 10% at a short‐medium term follow‐up. There are a few data available in this subset regarding the use of second generation DESMethodsA prospective, multicenter registry of consecutive patients (aged 64.8 ± 11.2 years, 77% men and 33% diabetics) in 29 tertiary hospitals with de novo > 24 mm lesions in vessels of 2.25–4 mm was performed. The primary and secondary endpoints were major adverse cardiac events (MACE; cardiac death, myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularization) and stent thrombosis (ST) at 1, 12, and 24 months. Patients were on dual antiplatelet therapy during 12 months.ResultsA total of 610 patients with 705 long lesions were included (1.2 per patient). Lesion length was 34.59 ± 11.17 mm and vessel size 2.93 ± 0.41 mm. Stented length was 39.83 ± 14.08 mm (1.4 stents per lesion). Predilatation/postdiltatation was performed in 75 and 33% of the cases, intravascular ultrasound in 15%.The device success rate was 99.1%. MACE and ST rates at 1, 12, and 24‐months follow‐up were 0.3, 2.1, and 5.4% and 0.2, 0.7, and 1.5%, respectively.ConclusionIn this real‐world population, the Xience Prime EES performs extremely well in long lesions, with a very low rate of both MACE and ST.

Authors: Lyons Demelza Josephine Marion , Crocker Reece Douglas , Nguyen Thanh Vinh 
Published: May 2018

AbstractTropylium ions possess an interesting combination of structural stability and chemical reactivity due to its Hückel aromaticity and its positively charged polyene nature, respectively. Herein we exploit the chemical versatility and unique structural properties of the tropylium ion to derive a family of novel push–pull organic dyes with strong absorption in the visible range via simple and practical synthetic protocols. These stable organic dyes are highly stimuli‐responsive, as demonstrated by their sensitivity towards solvent, pH change, redox reaction, Lewis base and counterion, which marks them as potentially useful compounds for opto‐electronic applications.

Published: May 2018

AbstractWe evaluated the effects of therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of tramadol hydrochloride on the corrected QT (QTc) interval in healthy adults (aged 18‐55 years) in a randomized, phase I, double‐blind, placebo‐ and positive‐controlled, multiple‐dose, 4‐way crossover study. Participants were randomized to receive 1 of 4 treatments (A‐D), 1 each in 4 treatment periods (1‐4), separated by a washout period (7‐15 days). Treatment A comprised tramadol 400 mg (therapeutic dose) on days 1 through 3, tramadol 100 mg and moxifloxacin‐matched placebo on day 4, and placebo on all 4 days. Treatment B comprised tramadol 600 mg (supratherapeutic dose) on days 1 through 3, and tramadol 150 mg and moxifloxacin‐matched placebo on day 4. Treatment C comprised placebo on days 1 through 4 and moxifloxacin‐matched placebo on day 4. Treatment D comprised placebo on days 1 through 4 and moxifloxacin 400 mg on day 4. Of 68 participants enrolled, 57 (83.8%) completed the study. Both therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses of tramadol were shown to be noninferior to placebo regarding their effect on QTc prolongation. Sixty‐one of 68 (89.7%) participants reported at least 1 treatment‐emergent adverse event (mild); nausea was the most frequently reported treatment‐emergent adverse event. Summarizing, tramadol at doses up to 600 mg/day did not cause clinically relevant QTc interval prolongation in healthy adults.
