Authors: Jia Dandan , Wang Ke , Wang Xinyu , Zuo Zhiyuan , Zhao Xian , Shen Qiang 
Published: November 2024

AbstractAs a unique pseudocapacitive material, the heterojunction‐structured CuO@Cu combines the high conductivity of substrate Cu and the high capacity of active CuO together for structure‐integral electrodes, however, its structural optimization and improved capacity are still the main challenges so far. In this study, an initial surface etching of copper foam (CF) is adopted to construct a primary heterostructure of CuO nanowires@CF (CuO NW@CF), and then, the surface decoration of CuO NW@CF via the deposition of cerium‐2‐methylimidazole based metal–organic frameworks (Ce‐2MI) finally results in the current‐collector‐/binder‐free electrodes of the hierarchical heterostructure Ce‐2MI@CuO NW@CF. Compared to the structural properties of CuO NW@CF, both the introducing Ce‐ion active sites and the enriched lattice oxygen vacancies cooperatively endow the pseudocapacitive electrodes of Ce‐2MI@CuO NW@CF with a ultrahigh specific capacitance and excellent cycling stability. Within the potential window of 1.6 V, the asymmetric supercapacitor devices of activated carbon//Ce‐2MI@CuO NW@CF acquire a high energy density of 56.8 Wh kg−1 at 725 W kg−1, which can light up a light‐emitting diode (LED) bulb for 20 min. Therefore, constructing the hierarchically heterostructured Ce‐2MI@CuO NW@CF is an effective approach to developing high‐performance supercapacitors for potential application purposes.
Ultraviolet Photodetector Fabrication with Low‐Power Dissipation Based on Organic Suboptimal Source‐Gated Transistor Architecture and MoO3‐Doped Pentacene

Published: November 2024

AbstractOrganic field‐effect transistor (OFET)‐based photodetectors have been extensively studied owing to their potential applications in various fields, such as imaging, communication, and environmental monitoring. However, the traditional OFET structure brings about high power consumption. Furthermore, their low electrical performance and light sensitivity must be improved to detect harmful UV rays that accelerate skin aging and cause vision degradation. One strategy to fabricate high‐performance phototransistors involves the introduction of molybdenum trioxide (MoO3), which serves as a dopant for pentacene, aiming to enhance electrical performance by increasing mobility and decreasing threshold voltage. In addition, the photoreactivity of MoO3 in the UV spectrum is utilized to achieve enhanced light responsivity. In this work, a suboptimal source‐gated transistor (sSGT) is introduced instead of a conventional OFET to exploit the work function difference between two electrodes and the active layer to achieve low‐power consumption. The power of the sSGT is 1000 times lower than that of the OFET, demonstrating the low‐power consumption. The findings indicate the potential fabrication method of high‐performance UV phototransistors with low‐power consumption induced by incorporating the MoO3 and sSGT structure.

AbstractLithium dendrite growth has become a significant barrier to realizing high‐performance all‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries. Herein, an effective approach is presented to address this challenge through interphase engineering by using a cross‐linked polyamide (negative electrostatic potential) that is chemically anchored to the surface of Li6PS5Cl (positive electrostatic potential). This method improves contact between electrolyte particles and strategically modifies the local electronic structure at the grain boundary. This innovation effectively suppresses lithium dendrite formation and enhances the overall interface stability. As a result, the critical current density of the Li6PS5Cl sulfide electrolyte is dramatically boosted from 0.4 to 1.6 mA cm−2, representing a remarkable fourfold improvement. Moreover, Li–Li symmetric batteries demonstrate exceptional stability, enduring over 10,000 h of consistent Li+ deposition/stripping at a high areal capacity of 3 mAh cm−2. Impressively Li–LiNi0.89Mn0.055Co0.055O2 full cells exhibited outstanding cycle stability and rate performance, maintaining over 80% capacity retention after 750 cycles at a demanding 1C rate. Pouch cells produced using dry‐process electrodes demonstrate strong potential for commercialization. The interphase engineering strategy offers a promising solution to the persistent challenge of dendrite growth, enabling the full realization of sulfide electrolytes' capabilities in next‐generation battery technologies.

AbstractInterface engineering for electrocatalysts has proven to be an effective method for modulating electrocatalytic properties, yet a more efficient and straightforward strategy to construct a valid heterointerface for further enhancing interface effects is urgently needed for boosting oxygen evolution reactions (OER) at large current. Herein, a closely compacted heterostructure combining NiCo‐metal‐organic framework (MOF) and Ce‐MOF is in situ formed through a one‐step hydrothermal treatment, and partial phosphorization is employed to further enhance the interface effect between the newly formed urchin‐shaped NiCoP shells and hexagonal rod‐like Ce‐MOF cores on nickel foam (NiCoP/Ce‐MOF@NF). Experimental and theoretical results indicate that the heterogeneous NiCoP/Ce‐MOF@NF, characterized by a more intensive interface rather than a simple physical mixture, generates an OER‐beneficial electronic structure, significantly facilitates charge transfer and reaction kinetics, and creates a synergistically stable structure. The optimal NiCoP/Ce‐MOF@NF exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic activity for OER, achieving an ultralow overpotential of 268 mV at a current density of 500 mA cm−2, and also delivers satisfactory large‐current stability of up to 120 h. This work offers a novel approach for designing heterogeneous catalysts with strong interface effects for potential applications in industrial water electrolysis.

AbstractBackgroundPatients aged >80‐years‐old with gastric cancer are commonly excluded from clinical trials, and no consensus exists regarding surgical indications and outcomes in older patients. In this study, we analyzed the post‐gastrectomy long‐term survival and etiologies of mortality in older patients with gastric cancer.MethodsPatients aged >80‐years‐old with pathological stages I–III primary gastric cancer who undergone radical gastrectomies, between May 2006 and March 2017, were included in the study. Eligible patients were categorized into 3 age cohorts: <85‐, 85–90‐, and >90‐years‐old. The primary outcome was the overall survival. The etiologies of mortalities were compared. Survival curves were compared using the log‐rank test. Prognostic factors were identified by multivariate analysis, using the Cox proportional hazards regression model.ResultsThe median follow‐up duration was 59 months. Of the 353 patients, 269 (76.2%), 71 (20.1%), and 13 (3.7%) were categorized into the <85‐, 85–90‐, >90‐years‐old age cohorts, respectively. Older patients had a poorer overall survival (p = 0.003) and statistically significant difference in the other‐cause survival (p < 0.001). The multivariate analysis revealed that age was not an independent prognostic factor for overall or cancer‐specific survival. However, an age >90‐years‐old was an independent prognostic factor for the other‐cause survival.ConclusionsIn patients aged >80‐years‐old with gastric cancer who had undergone gastrectomies, mortalities from other diseases increased with age; while mortalities from gastric cancer did not. An age of ≥90‐years‐old was an independent prognostic factor for mortalities from other diseases.
Introduction: Co-creation in Higher Education—a Conceptual and Historical Overview
Authors: Jamil Md Golam , Howard-Matthews Kelsey 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis introductory chapter sets the stage for the edited collection and provides a framework for all the case studies reported in the book. The content is divided into three key discussion areas: the historical development of co-creation concepts, the perceived benefits and challenges of co-creation in higher education practices, and an applied definition of co-creation based on its unique features. While reflecting on gaps between the concepts and practices of co-creation, the chapter sheds light on the role of academic environment, staff and student identities, and the value of relationship. Additionally, it discusses the importance of evaluating co-creation schemes for achieving realistic understanding and transferable strategies, particularly for academic enhancement and effective student learning in higher education. Overall, the discussion around co-creation in this chapter highlights the importance of capturing and responding to student voices and involving students in academic decision-making.
Co-creation in Higher Education amid Times of War: Exploring the Role of Student Representatives at the Faculty of Law at the University of Khartoum

Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter explores the extended co-creation role played by student representatives (SRs) in the teaching and learning process during a time of war—namely, the armed conflict in Sudan, which began in April 2023. Conducted in the Faculty of Law at the University of Khartoum and adopting a co-creation approach between staff and students of the faculty, it examines the nature and scope of the co-creation role and the impact of the structure of SRs. It finds that the role of SRs is expanded during such difficult times to encompass both pedagogical and political aspects. SRs becomes a main focal point for both the institution and students with regard to the co-creational management of the circumstances caused by the war. The chapter concludes with recommendations that universities can develop strategies to manage wartime crises in education through understanding and utilising concepts of co-creation.
Conclusion: Making Space for Constructive Co-creation
Authors: Shelton Fiona , O’Connor Catherine , Wilkinson Jo 
Published: November 2024

AbstractCo-creation, we would argue, is best viewed as a journey, for it to be constructive there may not be a fixed route, and it may ultimately lead to unexpected destinations. It is clear that co-creation, at its deepest and most meaningful, is not a task set for students to complete. Rather, it is a shared endeavour that students can be involved in from the very outset. It should provide an opportunity for them, as well as staff, to set the agenda, or raise an idea for further investigation. Co-creation requires a reconceptualisation of classrooms as democratic spaces, where the work of teaching and learning is valued as a shared responsibility. If we view the learning journey through multiple lenses and provide spaces and structure for the plurality of voices, we then begin to create more equitable spaces and practices where the balance of power is redressed. Whilst it is difficult, or may not be necessary, to define co-creation practice, it is clear that co-creation is unquestionably relational. Importantly, the opportunity for growth in relational pedagogy means we value what our students bring to our organisations and how they make them a better place to be.
The 3 C’s: A Model for Co-creation of Student Success in Higher Education
Authors: McIntosh Emily , May Helen 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter is in two parts. The first part explores the 3 C’s model of staff-student co-creation: (1) collaboration, (2) community and (3) cohesion, developed by McIntosh and May (2024). These three core features coalesce around high-quality relational pedagogic practice to impact student belonging and connectedness in the academy and support improved student outcomes. The model is research-informed and can be applied in a variety of higher education settings, which is explored further in the second part of this chapter. It reflects on the impact of implementing the 3 C’s model via the theory of change approach, outlining the development and embedding of staff-student co-creation in the short, medium and long terms. The chapter features some visual diagrams of the model and its application, these are used to illustrate its impact in practice-based settings.
Staff-Student Co-creation in a Matrix Environment
Authors: Arm Karen 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThe Solent Student Partnership Project is a cross-institutional co-creation scheme hosted by the Education Office at Solent University. This chapter discusses how and why, over a three-year period, the project has moved from being hierarchically managed to being operationalised through a matrix environment. The chapter starts by outlining the evolution of the co-creation initiative in our context. It then shares our mixed experiences of moving our project into a matrix environment via three themes of contradiction: (1) losing sight and gaining visibility, (2) cohesive and conflicting identities, and (3) ground moving and groundbreaking. The chapter concludes by reflecting on the lessons learned and proposes some possible ways forward for staff-student co-creation in a matrix environment.
Co-creating a Leadership Development Programme for Nuclear Engineers: University-Industry Partnership to Boost Institutional Relevance
Authors: Joseph-Richard Paul , Ringrose Nara 
Published: November 2024

AbstractTraditional leadership development programmes often fail to meet specific industry needs. This chapter describes the co-creation of a Leadership Development Programme by an academic and an industry partner, specifically tailored to the highly regulated nuclear engineering industry. This partnership effectively addressed the perceived irrelevance of business schools by ensuring the programme was directly aligned with real-world industry requirements. When stakeholders became partners and change agents in the co-creation process, a meaningful programme emerged. It utilised innovative learning methods, broadened learning transfer options, and encouraged participants to engage in leadership processes that initiated workplace change. This project not only showcases the value proposition of Business Schools for industry but also emphasises the crucial role of learning from industry partners to enhance academic programmes. This case underscores several key lessons: co-creation bridges the theory-practice gap, fosters a sense of ownership, and strengthens the case for co-creation as a strategy to enhance institutional relevance.
Whole-Class Co-creation Approach in Portfolio Assessment: A Community Knowledge Triangle Model
Authors: Teh Yong Yuan , Chong Yit Sean 
Published: November 2024

AbstractThis chapter aims to identify barriers and adaptive mechanisms of students, lecturers, and practitioners undertaking a portfolio assessment that applied a ‘whole-class’ co-creation approach. Beyond educator-student and peer-to-peer dynamics, industry practitioners’ involvement in the collaborative learning environment is essential to showcase current real-world issues in an ever-changing career landscape. This is essential in Asian learning contexts where students are accustomed to individual or examination-based assessment regimes. Interviews were conducted with academics, students, and practitioners to understand their experiences of the implementation of a leadership portfolio as a ‘whole-class’ assessment approach. The need to reduce ambiguity throughout the assessment process and the role of authenticity to promote collaborative learning in the whole-class co-creation process enables knowledge exchange in a collaborative Community Knowledge Triangle. This research offers insights into the co-creation process of assessment, which seeks to empower academics to train business undergraduates with practical knowledge to thrive in the future of work.
Application Examples

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Having already introduced various extensions and modifications of the ADRC structure and its discrete-time variants for software-based implementation, we are ready to put it to work! To show how ADRC performs in actual applications, here we consider two laboratory testbeds representative of a spectrum of real control problems one can encounter in engineering practice. For those application examples, custom-made ADRC-based solutions are devised, designed, and deployed. We make an arbitrary choice to use the previously derived discrete-time state-space ADRC in the first example and its transfer function form for the implementation in the second example. For each of the considered cases, we will show similar steps including a brief plant description, formulation of the control problem, implementation and commissioning of the selected ADRC (based on already introduced “cooking recipes”), initial validation in simulation, and finally physical validation on target hardware. The examples will differ vastly regarding not only their dynamics but also the method chosen for plant modeling, covering both an experimentally driven approach and a case based on theoretical and numerical analyses.
Between Time and Frequency Domains
Authors: Herbst Gernot , Madonski Rafal 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In this chapter, we will contextualize ADRC to deliver interpretations from the established field of linear control systems. This will, firstly, involve an interpretation of ADRC in terms of existing state-space control approaches. Secondly, a transition to the frequency domain is being made, as a major part of practical control engineering is performed in this domain. Analyzing and understanding ADRC from a frequency-domain perspective allows for a much easier migration from the PID world of controllers.
Visual Tour

Published: November 2024

Abstract
A picture is worth a thousand words. This chapter aims at analyzing and showcasing ADRC in a predominantly visual manner, in both time and frequency domains, going from modeling to tuning and its closed-loop behavior. What can one expect from ADRC regarding tracking performance and disturbance rejection? What is the influence of its modeling and tuning parameters? And what if we set them too low or too high?
Extensions and Modifications
Authors: Herbst Gernot , Madonski Rafal 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
ADRC is not a fixed set of equations and hence should not be viewed as a magical set of formulae that, once implemented on the real system, will do wonders. It should instead be understood as a modular, flexible framework that could be tailored to specific applications. This, however, requires a bit of a different mindset—one that is open to change. In this chapter, we show potential extensions and modifications to the ADRC scheme which take into account practical scenarios where certain actionable information is available about the governed system and/or acting disturbance. We also show how the performance of ADRC can be increased, for the price of additional tuning, by incorporating some nonlinear components. We will also introduce a so-called error-based variant of the ADRC scheme which is considered a bare-bones version and has some interesting practical characteristics.
Practical Aspects

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Tuning a controller is not always the hardest part. Its implementation in a real-world control loop requires additional efforts: One might have to be able to (gracefully) turn the controller on or off, modify its parameters while in operation, and deal with unwanted behaviors such as measurement noise, actuator limitations, or time delays in the control loop. This is usually easier said than done. In this chapter, we examine some of these issues and try to offer solutions that maintain the simplicity we consider a vital part of the “ADRC spirit.”

Published: November 2024

AbstractMetal connectors are important load-bearing components in precast concrete insulated sandwich wall panels, and their tensile capacity need to be determined through testing. Due to the variety of connector styles and different anchoring structures, this article focuses on the commonly used single-pull and double-pull test methods, using typical specifications of pin connectors and flat connectors for tensile testing, and considering the influence of different constraints on the single-pull test method. By comparing the failure modes, tensile strains and tensile capacity of the connectors, the study shows that using the double-pull test method to test metal connectors results in more stable and safer test results, and it is recommended to prioritize this method.
