AbstractIt is imperative yet challenging for developing highly efficient multifunctional electrocatalysts for future sustainable energy pursuits. Herein, dual‐interface reinforced reverse orientation of built‐in electric fields (BIEFs) is reported in Pd1Mo1Ta2Oα in‐plane heterostructure, where amorphous Ta2O5 and PdOδ particles are confined to PdMo nanosheet, for robust bifunctional electrocatalysts of rechargeable zinc–air batteries. The as‐synthesized electrocatalyst (Pd1Mo1Ta2Oα) exhibits remarkable catalytic activity toward oxygen reduction (Eon = 0.95 V, E1/2 = 0.81 V) and oxygen evolution (η10 = 401 mV) reactions with high kinetics and operational stability. These enhanced bifunctional electrocatalytic activities of Pd1Mo1Ta2Oα are attributed to the synergistic collaboration of dual‐interface BIEFs, where PdMo || PdOδ initiating BIEF1 orientation is parallel to OER external electric field (ExEF) and Ta2O5 || PdOδ/PdMo initiating BIEF2 orientation is parallel to ORR ExEF. In particular, the rechargeable zinc‐air battery (ZAB) with the as‐designed Pd1Mo1Ta2Oα electrocatalysts delivers a high specific capacity of 1050 mAh g−1 and stable voltage profiles over 800 cycles. Therefore, this work provides the structural and interfacial designs of bifunctional electrocatalysts with the reverse oriented BIEFs that synergistically enhance intrinsic catalytic activity and electronic transport for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER).

AbstractElectrochemical oxidization of crude ethylene glycol (EG) to fine chemicals driven by sustainable energy is an eco‐friendly solution to the upcycling of end‐of‐life polyethylene terephthalate (PET) wastes. Here, pseudo Agx‐PtyPdz core–shell electrocatalyst capable of hybrid oxidation of EG to formate (FA) is designed and synthesized. The trimetallic system consists of Ag nanowire and ultrathin PtPd alloy skin with defects, such as holes and grooves. The defects expose the Ag core to the surroundings and convert Ag0 to Ag2+ active species at appropriate potential (> 1.2 V vs RHE). Thus, hybrid EG oxidization reaction is realized on the Agx‐PtyPdz electrocatalyst, where PtPd skin catalyzes EG oxidization through conventional Faradaic electrode process owing to inherent activities of Pt and Pd, while Ag2+ serves as auxiliar oxidant to oxidize EG/intermediates (non‐Faradaic reaction). Such a hybrid oxidization strategy reinforces the removal of adsorbates on Agx‐PtyPdz electrocatalyst and refresh the active sites timely. Eventually, ultrahigh specific activity (24.45 A mg−1PtPd) and long‐term stability (> 3000 h at current density ≥ 400 mA cm−2) are delivered by the system. The finding of Ag2+‐enhanced alcohol oxidization reactions introduces a new paradigm for designing high‐performance electrocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Published: November 2024

AbstractReverse‐offset printing is capable of ultrafine printing at the submicron scale and may be applied to the fabrication process of electronic devices. In this study, the composition of Ag nanoparticle ink is investigated suitable for reverse‐offset printing using Ag nanoparticles synthesized by a thermal decomposition method via oxalate‐bridging silver alkylamine complexes. The suitability of Ag nanoparticle ink for the blanket is considered while focusing on the absorption characteristics, wettability, and drying properties. Using the synthesized Ag nanoparticle ink, the reverse‐offset printing conditions are optimized, successfully forming submicron‐scale ultrafine patterns. The successful fabrication of fully printed organic thin‐film transistors (TFTs) is also achieved with a significantly short (1 µm) channel using reverse‐offset printing. A maximum mobility of 1.25 cm2 Vs−1 at an operating voltage of less than 5 V is achieved in the printed organic TFT with a 5‐µm channel.

AbstractThe length of the snout in mammals has important evolutionary consequences for the functional systems housed within the rostrum. However, whether increased snout lengths lead to expanded olfactory performance has rarely been examined. Here, we investigate inner rostral function among 10 species of myrmecophagous (ant‐ and/or termite‐eating) placental mammals and 10 closely related species. We use nondestructive computed tomography scanning methods to characterize inner rostral function based on the underlying morphology of the turbinal bones in the nasal cavity. Three approaches were chosen to address this question, including the quantification of functional turbinal surface area, the quantification of functional turbinal three‐dimensional complexity, and geometric morphometrics. By including non‐model species from several different mammalian orders, we were able to extend the discussion surrounding turbinal homologies to comparisons across mammals. Our results show no increased olfactory function in all myrmecophagous species relative to their sister taxa, which suggests that there is no trade‐off for increased olfactory capabilities in myrmecophagous species with elongated snouts. We found no evidence of convergence in turbinal morphology among all five myrmecophagous lineages. However, we found evidence of morphological convergence in the turbinals between the giant armadillo and the aardvark, suggesting a more complex interplay between the evolution of turbinal morphology and ecological correlates. While myrmecophagy alone may not be a strong enough ecological signal to overcome phylogenetic and developmental constraints, we suggest that this might be the case at the intersection of this dietary specialization with a primarily underground lifestyle where odorants may be difficult to detect.
Stabwerkmodelle für indirekt gelagerte Stahlbetonbalken
Authors: Reineck Karl‐Heinz , Frettlöhr Björn 
Published: November 2024

AbstractBei indirekter Lagerung von Stahlbetonbalken wird empfohlen, die erforderlichen Aufhängebügel nur im Kreuzungsbereich der Stege beider Balken anzuordnen. Dies wurde auch durch ein klares Stabwerkmodell begründet. Demgegenüber wurde vor ca. 50 Jahren auch eine teilweise Anordnung der Aufhängebügel außerhalb des Kreuzungsbereichs der Stege diskutiert und schließlich in Normen aufgenommen. Allerdings wurde bisher hierfür kein Stabwerkmodell abgeleitet, sondern nur konstruktive Regeln für die Anordnung der Bewehrungen angegeben. Nachfolgend werden für diesen Fall zwei Varianten von Stabwerkmodellen vorgestellt. Es zeigt sich, dass man nicht von einer Verteilung der Aufhängebügel auf Bereiche außerhalb des Kreuzungsbereichs der Stege sprechen kann, denn es wird insgesamt die dreifache Bügelbewehrung benötigt.

Mass transfer around a cylinder in a nonlinear extensional flow
Authors: Favelukis Moshe 
Published: November 2024

AbstractIn this theoretical report, we explored the transfer of mass around an infinite cylinder in a nonlinear extensional creeping flow, and at large Peclet numbers. First, we inspected the fluid mechanics problem, which is governed by a single dimensionless parameter: the nonlinear intensity of the flow (E). The fluid motion in the presence of the cylinder suggests interesting features such as closed circulations (E > 2/3) and separating surfaces (E < 0), both phenomena which are absent in the linear case (E = 0). Next, we examined the transfer of mass, where three different regions have been distinguished. In the first one (−2/9 < E < 2/3), which also includes the linear case, the thin concentration boundary layer, at each quarter, covers the entire cylinder surface. In the next one (E > 2/3), the closed circulation, which is in contact with the cylinder surface, reduces the length of the concentration boundary layer. In the last one (E < −2/9), separating surfaces touching the surface of the cylinder and creating, at each quarter, two concentration boundary layers flowing in opposite directions. There is a range (−0.340 < E < 0), where the mass transfer is lower than the linear case, with a minimum at E = −2/9 = −0.222. From this point, and in both directions, as |E| increases, the rate of mass transfer also increases.

AbstractThe combination of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence signals and chemotherapy agents has been developed for cancer diagnosis and treatment. In this work, we investigated the impacts of Cyanine 5.5 and Doxorubicin on cell cycle arrest, magnetic resonance, and NIR fluorescence optical imaging for Fe3O4‐encapsulated nanosystems based on poly(lactide)‐tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (PLA‐TPGS) copolymer. Although Cyanine 5.5 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are less cytotoxic than Doxorubicin, they present a cytostatic effect, inducing cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in human brain adenocarcinoma (CCF‐STTG1) cells. For MRI applications, the permeability of the PLA‐TPGS copolymer coating layer to water molecules might lengthen the translational diffusion time (
), causing the higher relaxivity ratio (r2/r1) compared to bare Fe3O4 NPs under an applied magnetic field (7 Tesla). Notably, the chemical structures of Cyanine 5.5 and Doxorubicin significantly contribute to the enhancement of the T2 relaxivities of Fe3O4 NPs through π‐π and ρ‐π conjugation. Furthermore, the radiance ratio and signal‐to‐noise ratio enhancement and a slight blue shift in the optimal excitation and emission wavelengths were recorded. These findings show the potential for in vivo MRI and NIR bioimaging experiments of the nanoparticles.

AbstractProtease inhibitors are among the most powerful antiviral drugs. They have been used successfully against viruses, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2). Protease inhibitor screening tools are therefore important to identify inhibitors that have the potential to become antiviral drugs. In this article, we describe newly developed cell‐ and virus replicon‐based platforms to screen inhibitors.

A Single‐Inductor Multiple‐Output DC‐DC Converter With 2.8 V–5 V Battery Voltage Supply for SoC Application in 22 nm CMOS Technology
Authors: Tang Chaowei , Zhang Yichen , Zheng Yanqi , Tang Xian 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTIn advanced processes, single‐inductor multiple‐output (SIMO) DC‐DC converters with battery voltage as input face serious overvoltage problems due to low MOSFET withstand voltage. To meet the needs of SIMO converter design in advanced processes, this paper first proposes a SIMO converter with an adaptive power supply buffer (APSB) and voltage‐limiting techniques in 22‐nm CMOS. The proposed APSB technology ensures that the driving voltage of the power stage remains unchanged under the changing power supply, solving the breakdown problem caused by low MOSFET withstand voltage and simplifying the circuit design of the power stage. The proposed voltage‐limiting techniques avoid the overvoltage of the internal circuit by using a special voltage‐limiting design for the VX2 node and output voltage during startup and steady state. The proposed SIMO is designed and validated under a 22‐nm CMOS process. The input power supply range is 2.8–5 V, and the three output voltages are 0.8, 1, and 1.8 V, respectively. The maximum load for each output voltage is 250 mA. The SIMO system achieves a peak efficiency of 92.2% over the full load range.

ABSTRACTIn this study, we consider three different machine‐learning methods—a three‐hidden‐layer neural network, support vector regression, and Gaussian process regression—and compare how well they can learn from a synthetic data set for proton acceleration in the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration regime. The synthetic data set was generated from a previously published theoretical model by Fuchs et al. 2005 that we modified. Once trained, these machine‐learning methods can assist with efforts to maximize the peak proton energy, or with the more general problem of configuring the laser system to produce a proton energy spectrum with desired characteristics. In our study, we focus on both the accuracy of the machine‐learning methods and the performance on one GPU including memory consumption. Although it is arguably the least sophisticated machine‐learning model we considered, support vector regression performed very well in our tests.

Authors: Li Yuqi , Jing Yuting , Yang Zhaoyu 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTThis paper employed PFC3D and FLAC3D to conduct a three‐dimensional discrete‐continuous dual‐scale coupled simulation and stability analysis of cohesive soil slope through discrete‐continuous coupled algorithm and the gravity increase method. In the discrete element model zone, the progressive failure process of cohesive soil slope was studied by setting particles with different displacements to different colours, the evolutions of porosity and coordination number in the shear, sliding and stability zones of slope were analysed by arranging measurement spheres, and the variation law of particle position was obtained by the vertical layering of the soil. In the continuous model zone of coupled slope model, the horizontal and vertical stresses were verified with those of a pure FLAC3D model of slope. Furthermore, a comparative instability analysis of cohesive soil slope and gravelly soil slope was also performed. The safety factor for the cohesive soil slope in this work was determined to be 1.7 according to the mesoscopic fabric evolution of slope particles and the gravity increase method. The work in this paper broadens the application scope of the dual‐scale coupled algorithm, highlights the differences in the mesoscopic instability mechanism between cohesive soil slop and gravelly soil slop, and provides new theoretical support for slope design and risk assessment in engineering practice.

ABSTRACTBackgroundDespite the advent of vaccines against COVID‐19, there is considerable variation in the acceptance and hesitancy towards the vaccination program across different countries. The objective of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of hesitancy and acceptance regarding the use of the vaccine against the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID‐19, and to identify the factors that influence these attitudes.Materials and MethodsAll the cross‐sectional studies were retrieved from the PubMed databases, the Web of Science ISI, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library. Papers published in English between 2 November 2019 and 23 May 2023 were subjected to further assessment based on their title, abstract, and main text, with a view to ensuring their relevance to the present study.ResultsFollowing an exhaustive investigation, 59 studies were selected for screening in this systematic review. The most frequently employed method of data collection was the online survey. The study sample comprised 59.12% women and 40.88% men, with ages ranging from 16 to 78 years. The proportion of individuals accepting the vaccine ranged from 13% to 96%, while the proportion of those exhibiting hesitancy ranged from 0% to 57.5%. The primary reasons for accepting the COIVD‐19 vaccine were a heightened perception of risk associated with the virus and a general trust in the healthcare system. The most frequently cited reasons for vaccine hesitancy in the context of the ongoing pandemic include concerns about the potential dangers of the vaccines, the rapid pace of their development, the possibility of adverse effects (such as infertility or death), and the assumption that they have been designed to inject microchips.DiscussionA variety of socio‐demographic factors are implicated in determining the rate of vaccine acceptance. A number of socio‐demographic factors have been identified as influencing vaccine acceptance. These include high income, male gender, older age, marriage, the presence of older children who have been vaccinated and do not have chronic diseases, high education, and health insurance coverage.ConclusionEliminating vaccine hesitancy or increasing vaccine acceptance is a crucial factor that should be addressed through various means and in collaboration with regulatory and healthcare organizations.

Trimming the fat: Identifying 15 underlying concepts from 26 in the social skills domain
Authors: Ross Roxanne L. , Toth Allison A. , Heggestad Eric D. , Banks George C. 
Published: November 2024

SummaryA large number of concepts have been proposed to describe social skills and explain social goal attainment. In this work, we identified dozens of such concepts, which have been studied for many decades across a wide variety of social science disciplines. It has been suggested that the social skills literature lacks parsimony and conceptual clarity. We take stock of these challenges and describe their origins. We identify three conceptual limitations that impede progress studying social skills and social goal attainment: redundancy (i.e., jangle fallacy), conflation (i.e., haphazard mixing of different conceptual types), and drift (i.e., jingle fallacy). We used best practices for concept revision and development, assisted by the use of machine learning, to undertake domain‐level conceptual clarification, analyzing 756 definitions across six decades of research. This process led us to propose 15 core social skills‐related concepts (a 42% reduction). These concepts were located within the social skills framework to begin to depict how they might relate to one another during the pursuit of social goals. This paper contributes to theory by decluttering, organizing, and simplifying the messy and redundant social skills literature and, by doing so, improves theoretical clarity. We close by suggesting areas for future research.
