Published: October 2024

AbstractResistive flexible pressure sensors are extensively employed in wearable devices owing to their wide operational range and straightforward construction. This study presents a conic bastion‐structured sensor microunit to improve the sensor sensitivity. The base hydrogel is synthesized using acrylamide (AM), with Mg2+ and Na+ acting as conductive ions. The sensor is fabricated using digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing technology and is subjected to experimental evaluation. The findings indicate that the hydrogel sensor with a 50 wt% AM composition demonstrates enhanced mechanical strength and conductive properties, achieving a peak sensitivity of 0.534 kPa−1 within a pressure range of 0–0.8 kPa. Furthermore, the sensor exhibits favorable response characteristics (30 ms) and recovery characteristics (40 ms), along with stability. The proposed sensor is suitable for wearable devices and live joint angle detection. Additionally, the “handwriting fingerprint” pattern recognition and document verification proposed in this article make it applicable in scenarios, such as banking, notarization, and other handwriting and seal verification contexts.

AbstractPremiseControlling light flux density during carbon dioxide assimilation measurements is essential in photosynthesis research. Commercial lamps are expensive and are based on monochromatic light‐emitting diodes (LEDs), which deviate significantly in their spectral distribution compared to sunlight.Methods and ResultsUsing LED‐emitted white light with a color temperature similar to sunlight, we developed a cost‐effective lamp compatible with the LI‐6800 Portable Photosynthesis System. When coupled with customized software, the lamp can be controlled via the LI‐6800 console by a user or Python scripts. Testing and calibration show that the lamp meets the quality needed to estimate photosynthesis parameters.ConclusionsThe lamp can be built using a basic electronics lab and a 3D printer. Calibration instructions are supplied and only require equipment commonly available at plant science laboratories. The lamp is a cost‐effective alternative to perform photosynthesis research coupled with the popular LI‐6800 photosynthesis measuring system.
Renewable Energy Investments, Support Schemes and the Dirty Option
Authors: De Giovanni Domenico , Iakimova Elena 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTIn a real options framework, we analyze the behavior of a large energy producer who can invest in a portfolio of Renewable Energy Source (RES) and dirty energy source. Competitive fuel prices challenge the investments in RES. Given a budget constraint, the agent allocates the optimal capacities of both energy instalments and selects the optimal investment time. We use the model to compare the effectiveness of classical support schemes such as Feed‐in Tariffs or Green Certificate with respect to forms of taxation of dirty technology such as Carbon Taxes or Carbon Permits. This paper proposes a conceptual framework and qualitative analysis to understand which support system enhances the attractiveness of renewable energy investments.

Published: October 2024

AbstractLimited research has been dedicated to exploring the potential reuse and creation of value‐added products from corn stover. Existing gaps in current research underscore the need for waste biorefineries that adhere to the principles of a circular bioeconomy to maximize the value of corn stover. This review uses bibliometric analysis from the past decade to examine the potential and pathways for converting corn stover into energy and value‐added products within the biorefinery framework. The data were processed using the Web of Science® database and analyzed with the VosViewer® bibliometric software's, Bibliometrix package in R and Gephi, generating keyword‐based maps. A total of 2557 experimental articles and 30 reviews on corn stover research were analyzed. The bibliometric study revealed that the primary research focuses on pretreatment technologies for converting corn stover into value‐added products, bioenergy and biofuels. The main technologies employed include acid, alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis, as well as torrefaction anaerobic digestion and steam explosion. The pretreatment processes yield sugars, xylooligosaccharides and organic acids. Additionally, the studies explored the use of corn stover biochar for soil remediation and adsorption processes. This review aims to enhance the understanding of technological pathways explored in previous research, contributing to the evaluation of sustainable processes for utilizing corn stover byproducts. Ultimately, it promotes environmentally conscious agroindustry practices that align with circular economy principles and sustainable development.

Toward a Dynamic Allocation Strategy for Deadline‐Oriented Resource and Job Management in HPC Systems
Authors: Linnert Barry , De Rose Cesar Augusto F. , Heiss Hans‐Ulrich 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTAs high‐performance computing (HPC) becomes a tool used in many different workflows, quality of service (QoS) becomes increasingly important. In many cases, this includes the reliable execution of an HPC job and the generation of the results by a certain deadline. The resource and job management system (RJMS) or simply RMS is responsible for receiving the job requests and executing the jobs with a deadline‐oriented policy to support the workflows. In this article, we evaluate how well static resource management policies cope with deadline‐constrained HPC jobs and explore two variations of a dynamic policy in this context. As the Hilbert curve‐based approach used by the SLURM workload manager represents the state‐of‐the‐art in production environments, it was selected as one of the static allocation strategies. The Manhattan median approach as a second allocation strategy was introduced as a research work that aims to minimize the communication overhead of the parallel programs by providing compact partitions more than the Hilbert curve approach. In contrast to the static partitions provided by the Hilbert curve approach and the Manhattan median approach, the leak approach focuses on supporting dynamic runtime behavior of the jobs and assigning nodes of the HPC system on demand at runtime. Since the contiguous leak version also relies on a compact set of nodes, the noncontiguous leak can provide additional nodes at a greater distance from the nodes already used by the job. Our preliminary results clearly show that a dynamic policy is needed to meet the requirements of a modern deadline‐oriented RMS scenario.

Authors: Burgos Hector L. , Mandel Mark J. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractVibrio fischeri is a model mutualist for studying molecular processes affecting microbial colonization of animal hosts. We present a detailed protocol for a barcode sequencing (BarSeq) approach that combines targeted gene deletion with short‐read sequencing technology to enable studies of mixed bacterial populations. This protocol includes wet lab steps to plan and produce the deletions, approaches to scale up mutant generation, protocols to prepare and conduct the strain competition, library preparation for sequencing on an Illumina iSeq 100 instrument, and data analysis with the barseq python package. Aspects of this protocol could be readily adapted for tagging wild‐type V. fischeri strains with a neutral barcode for examination of population dynamics or BarSeq analyses in other species. © 2024 The Author(s).

Published: October 2024

AbstractExtensive research has found that cover cropping can increase the overall health of agricultural systems by scavenging excess nutrients, increasing water infiltration, reducing surface runoff, increasing biodiversity, and building organic matter. Furthermore, cover cropping can help enhance the benefits of other farming practices such as no‐till planting, creating synergies that increase farm financial and environmental sustainability. In northern climates, there are significant challenges to establishing cover crops due to the short growing window following corn silage harvest. The authors of this article share their experiences, challenges, and successes of integrating cover crops into northern climates.

Effects of microRNA on the growth and targeted therapy response on lung cancer
Authors: Zhu Mengchen , Jiang Yi , Liu Lingshuang 
Published: October 2024

AbstractLung cancer represents a significant public health concern worldwide. Lung cancer typically receives a diagnosis at a late stage, leading to a generally unfavourable prognosis. Additionally, traditional treatments frequently fail in cases of metastatic lung cancer. However, targeted therapy has advanced considerably in the management of lung cancer, and overcoming drug resistance has emerged as a significant hurdle in achieving optimal treatment outcomes. As a result, there has been a new trend toward precision therapy for lung cancer based on changes at the molecular and genetic levels. On the other hand, for lung cancer, early diagnosis plays a crucial role in treatment and prognosis. Based on existing knowledge, we strongly believe that it is imperative to promptly identify innovative biomarkers. The emergence of microRNAs (miRNAs) provides new ideas. The expression profiles of miRNAs have been investigated using noninvasive blood samples to explore the regulatory mechanisms played by miRNAs during the progression and targeted therapy resistance of lung cancer. Due to the complexity of miRNA profiles, they may play the role of tumour suppressors or oncogenes. However, specific regulatory mechanisms are still a huge topic to be explored. In this Review, we summarize the latest research that has shed light on the potential regulatory mechanisms of miRNAs in driving lung cancer progression, their value for clinical application as biomarkers and their role in targeted therapy resistance.
Re‐Categorization and Risk of Malignancy of Atypical Effusions According to the International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS): An Institutional Experience
Authors: Doğan Kutsal , Kurtulan Olcay , Onder Sevgen 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundSerous effusion fluids serve as crucial cytological materials in diagnosing the underlying causes of fluid accumulation in various body cavities. The International System for Reporting Serous Fluid Cytopathology (TIS) outlined atypia of undetermined significance (AUS) and suspicious for malignancy (SFM) as two intermediate categories for atypical fluids.Materials and MethodsIn our study, cases diagnosed as “atypical” by an experienced cytopathologist in the Hacettepe University Department of Pathology, between 2014 and 2023, were re‐categorized according to TIS. The risk of malignancy (ROM) for AUS and SFM categories was calculated. Additionally, cases were re‐evaluated according to the 5‐tier categorical system by two observers with different level of experience.ResultsA total of 3501 effusion fluids were included in the study, evaluated between 2014 and 2023. 50.7% of the cases were male, and 49.3% were female. 55.2% of the cases were pleural fluid, 41.5% were peritoneal fluid, and 3.3% were pericardial fluid. Two hundred sixty five cases (7.6%) were non‐diagnostic, 2160 (61.7%) were negative for malignancy, 111 (3.2%) were AUS, 83 (2.4%) were SFM, and 883 (25.2%) were malignant (M). ROM calculated 27% for AUS, 49% for SFM 49%. The interobserver agreement for AUS was 46% with kappa value of 0.162, and 42% for SFM with kappa value of 0.188.ConclusionThe differentiation of atypical cases into AUS and SFM is effective in determining the ROM. The interobserver agreement tends to be lower in intermediate categories compared to others, emphasizing the potential significance of clinical expertise in diagnosis.

AbstractFisheries can profoundly impact co‐occurring species exposed to incidental capture. Spatiotemporal fisheries management holds substantial potential to balance socioeconomic benefits with ecological costs to threatened bycatch species. This study estimated the effect of the spatial and temporal distribution of effort by a western Pacific Ocean tuna purse seine fishery on catch rates of target and at‐risk species by fitting spatially explicit generalized additive multilevel regression models within a Bayesian inference framework to observer data. Mean field prediction surfaces defined catch rate hotspots for tunas, silky sharks, rays, and whale sharks, informing the design of candidate area‐based management strategies. Due to limited sample sizes, odontocete and marine turtle catch rate geospatial patterns were summarized using simple 2D hexagonal binning. Effort could be focused in two areas within core fishing grounds to reduce overlap with hotspots for silky sharks, rays, and whale sharks without affecting target catch. Effort could be shifted outside of core fishing areas to zones with higher target tuna catch rates to reduce overlap with hotspots for at‐risk species. Sparse and small marine turtle and whale shark hotspots occurred across the fishing grounds. Results did not identify opportunities for temporally dynamic spatial management to balance target and at‐risk catch rates. Research on the economic and operational viability of alternative spatial management strategies is a priority. A small subset of sets had disproportionately large odontocete captures. Real‐time fleet communication, move‐on rules, and avoiding sets on dolphin schools might reduce odontocete catch rates. Managing set association type and mesh size present additional opportunities to balance catch rates of at‐risk and target species. Employing output controls that effectively constrain the fishery would alter the spatial management strategy to focus fishing within zones with the lowest ratio of at‐risk bycatch to target tuna catch. Findings inform the design of alternative spatial management strategies to avoid catch rate hotspots of at‐risk species without compromising the catch of principal market species.

Published: October 2024

AbstractLithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries are deemed as the next generation of energy storage devices due to high theoretical specific capacity (1675 mAh g−1) and energy density (2600 Wh kg−1). However, the commercial application has always been constrained by lithium polysulfide (LiPSs) shuttling effects and still has a long way to go. Sulfurized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) is a promising alternative candidate to replace traditional sulfur cathode and is conducive to eliminating LiPSs by realizing “solid‐solid” direct conversion in conventional carbonate electrolytes. However, an over 25% irreversible capacity loss is exhibited inevitably in the first discharge process, the inherent structure of SPAN and the related reaction mechanism remain unclear. In this review, the structure characteristics and electrochemical behaviors of SPAN are summarized for better interpreting current knowledge and favoring the design of high performance materials. In the past few decades, many problems in traditional Li‐S batteries have been solved by improving electrolytes. Polymer electrolytes (PEs) have been widely used due to structural designability, multi‐functionality, exceptional chemical stability, and excellent processability. Surprisingly, the relevant researches on PEs compatible with SPAN remains limited currently. Therefore, the recent modification strategies of gel polymer electrolytes and solid polymer electrolytes in Li‐SPAN batteries are introduced in terms of Li+ transfer and interface engineering, the design principles are concluded, the specific challenges encountered by polymer‐based electrolytes are summarized and the instructive directions for future research on PEs are demonstrated, facilitating the commercialization of Li‐SPAN batteries.
Root puppet masters: Infauna shift trait‐productivity relationships in submerged aquatic vegetation communities
Authors: Angove Charlotte , Norkko Alf , Gustafsson Camilla 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSubmerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) growth can be limited by light and nutrient availability. Infauna are common inhabitants of SAV meadows. Their activity increases nutrient mobility, and they can positively affect plant growth, but we do not know their role in plant trait‐biomass production relationships. We approached this problem using a 15‐week in situ transplant experiment in the Baltic Sea with experimental additions of Macoma balthica, a sedentary bivalve, to experimental SAV communities. Experimental plant communities were tricultures with varying species composition, compiled from a pool of six different species, to create an experimental gradient of trait community weighted means that allowed us to detect changes more clearly in plant trait‐biomass production relationships in response to the M. balthica treatment. We evaluated the relationships between plant height, leaf area, maximum root length (MMRL), specific root length (SRL), and SAV biomass production, then compared M. balthica condition index (soft tissue biomass [WW, mg]/valve length [mm]) to plant community leaf tissue nutrient concentrations (N (%DW), δ15N). Community biomass production was significantly related to plant height in the control treatment, but this relationship was decoupled in the M. balthica treatment, where community biomass production was instead significantly related to MMRL and SRL. This suggested a shift in the predominant SAV growth strategy, from height‐related to root‐related community biomass production. Leaf tissue δ15N was significantly related to M. balthica condition index. The growth of one species, Potamogeton perfoliatus, was significantly inhibited by the M. balthica treatment. Our results show that infauna have an important role in the plant traits related to community biomass production, and they have the potential to shape plant community structure via selective influences on different plant species.

ABSTRACTGiant clams (Tridacna and Hippopus) are large marine bivalves occupying tropical and subtropical reefs in the Indo‐Pacific. Giant clam populations have declined in many areas of the Indo‐Pacific and continue to be threatened by harvesting and environmental change. The small giant clam (Tridacna maxima) occurs throughout the Indo‐Pacific and has been subject to several phylogeographic studies across its range. However, given its broad range, there are several areas where the genetic diversity and connectivity of T. maxima populations has not been characterised. Here, we analyse the mitochondrial marker cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) to examine the genetic diversity and connectivity of T. maxima in two regions: Australia's Coral Sea Marine Park and the Cook Islands. Samples were collected from 13 reefs within the Coral Sea Marine Park and ten islands within the Cook Islands archipelago. Tridacna maxima across the sampled region of the Coral Sea did not display any population structure, whereas significant population structure was detected for T. maxima within the Cook Islands. For the Cook Islands, most pairwise comparisons involving an island in the northern group (Manihiki) were significant, as were comparisons for Palmerston (a more centrally located island) and the southern islands, Rarotonga and Mangaia. Both regions displayed high haplotype diversities (> 0.90), indicating that they are important repositories of genetic diversity. Additional CO1 data from throughout T. maxima's distribution showed that the Coral Sea clams belonged to the clade occurring in the South‐Western Pacific Ocean, whilst those from the Cook Islands belonged to a unique clade found in the Central Pacific Ocean. This clade extended from Fiji in the west to French Polynesia in the east and the atolls of Palmyra and Tarawa (Kiribati) in the north. Our assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in these regions will assist with management decisions for the species.
