Published: November 2024

AbstractWindows constitute a significant portion of the facade in buildings and modern ground transportation vehicles, such as commercial skyscrapers, high‐speed trains, and subway systems. Traditional glass windows lack adequate thermal insulation and heat retention capabilities; Low‐Emissivity (Low‐E) glass can block external infrared radiation, it also impedes mobile communication signals, particularly those in the 5G Sub6G frequency band. This paper introduces an innovative metasurface glass designed to enhance 5G mobile communication signals within the interior of glass windows. Through simulation and experimental validation, this design has demonstrated a signal enhancement of over 10 dB within a 150 mm range before and after the focal point, and 100 mm in the vertical direction, compared to ordinary glass; at the focal point, the signal enhancement exceeds 15 dB. Furthermore, tests conducted across various real‐world scenarios have confirmed that within areas covered by 5G signals, the RSRP of the signal at the focal point has increased by approximately 6–9 dB. In addition, the outer surface of this metasurface glass possesses low‐emissivity characteristics, effectively blocking external infrared thermal radiation and reducing heat exchange with the interior of the glass window, thereby showing a significant advantage in maintaining a stable indoor temperature.

Published: November 2024

AbstractThe exploration of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) for high‐efficiency photocatalytic CO2 reduction is urgently demanded. Herein, COF‐based catalysts are constructed for the selective photoreduction of CO2 to CO via delicately designed isomeric monomers with substituent at the 4,5,9,10‐ positions (K) or 1,3,6,8‐positions (A) of pyrene knots. The distinct substituted regions significantly affect the planarity of pyrene knots, resulting in COFs with different microstructures and photocatalytic activities. While employing a 5 W LED white‐light as the light source, the single atomic Co contained A‐Py‐Bpy‐COF‐Co showcased a moderate CO evolution rate of 2174.4 µmol g−1 h−1. In sharp contrast, K‐Py‐Bpy‐COF‐Co reveals a considerable CO photo‐reduction rate of 12 476.4 µmol g−1 h−1 (5.7 times higher than A‐Py‐Bpy‐COF) with a selectivity up to 93.3%. Remarkably, the excellent photocatalytic activity of K‐Py‐Bpy‐COF‐Co can be maintained for at least 5 cycles without obvious decay. The distinct photocatalytic properties of the two isomeric COFs can be attributed to the larger steric‐hindrance of K‐Py‐4CHO which enlarges the interlayer distances to inhibit exciton quenching and electron‐richer nature of monatomic Co in K‐Py‐Bpy‐COF‐Co. This work provides a new protocol to explore COFs with boosted photocatalytic performance via isomeric design from refined modulation of reported COFs.

Published: November 2024

AbstractConstructing metal alloys/metal oxides heterostructured electrocatalysts with abundant and strongly coupling interfaces is vital yet challenging for practical electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, CoRu nanoalloys uniformly anchored on CoMoO4 nanosheet heterostructured electrocatalyst (CoRu‐CoMoO4/NF) are synthesized via a self‐templated strategy by simply annealing of Ru‐etched CoMoO4/NF precursor in a reduction atmosphere. The dense and robustly coupled interface not only provides abundant active sites for water splitting but also strengthens the charge transfer efficiency. Furthermore, the theoretical calculations unveil that the strong electronic interaction at CoRu‐CoMoO4 interface can induce an interfacial electron redistribution and reduce the energetic barriers for the hydrogen and oxygen intermediates, thereby accelerating the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics. The resultant catalyst only requires the overpotentials of 49 mV for HER and 209 mV for OER at 10 mA cm−2. Moreover, the constructed CoRu‐CoMoO4||CoRu‐CoMoO4 two‐electrode cell achieves a cell voltage of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm−2, outperforming the benchmark Pt/C||IrO2. This work explores an avenue for the rational design of heterostructured electrocatalysts with abundant interfaces for practical water‐splitting electrocatalysis.

AbstractCardiovascular diseases remain a leading global cause of mortality, underscoring the urgent need for intelligent diagnostic tools to enhance early detection, prediction, diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and recovery. This demand has spurred the advancement of wearable and flexible technologies, revolutionizing continuous, noninvasive, and remote heart sound (HS) monitoring—a vital avenue for assessing heart activity. The conventional stethoscope, used to listen to HSs, has limitations in terms of its physical structure, as it is inflexible and bulky, which restricts its prospective applications. Recently, mechanoacoustic sensors have made remarkable advancements, evolving from primitive forms to soft, flexible, and wearable designs. This article provides an in‐depth review of the latest scientific and technological advancements by addressing various topics, including different types of sensors, sensing materials, design principles, denoising techniques, and clinical applications of flexible and wearable HS sensors. This transformative potential lies in the capacity for ongoing, remote, and personalized monitoring, promising enhanced patient outcomes, amplified remote monitoring capabilities, and timely diagnoses. Last, the article highlights current challenges and prospects for the future, suggesting techniques to advance HS sensing technologies for exciting real‐time applications.

Published: November 2024

AbstractTelemetry studies allow scientists to track animal movements and study species ecology without direct visual observation. Fitting telemetry devices requires physical or chemical capture and restraint of animals. Ground darting is a commonly used technique to capture cervids but locating animals to dart and finding individuals post induction remains a challenge. Here we present an application of using thermal imaging drones to help locate, ground dart, and monitor target animals to ensure safe immobilization. We immobilized 10 free‐ranging Sitka black‐tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis), 8 of which were captured with the assistance of the thermal drone. The utilization of drones in wildlife ground darting operations can increase safety and efficiency, and reduce risk to researchers and study subjects.

ABSTRACTPopulations of Ozark hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi, Grobman 1943) in Missouri and Arkansas are federally listed as endangered. The Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute's Ron and Karen Goellner Center for Hellbender Conservation, in collaboration with the Missouri Department of Conservation and US Fish and Wildlife Service, has developed a sustainable conservation breeding and head‐starting program, a priority for species recovery. Using 9 years of program data, we examined various egg production, egg development, and mortality responses of Zoo‐bred Ozark hellbenders. Our results identified river of origin and breeding location as important predictors of egg production responses including average breeding female total lengths as well as brooding male clutch size, total egg count, and the estimated number of female clutches, respectively. We found that breeding group generation was a significant predictor of Zoo‐bred hellbender egg development responses with hellbenders from the first breeding group generation ovipositing later and producing eggs that hatch later and develop longer than hellbenders from the second‐generation breeding group. These responses are consistent with females from the first breeding group generation being larger at the time of reproduction. Breeding group generation was also a significant predictor of proportional egg and total mortality, while the proportion of hatchling mortality was best predicted by breeding location, and the proportion of larval mortality was best predicted by river of origin. Ultimately, our results provide baseline metrics for the program and identify areas for further inquiry to maximize the success of future conservation breeding and head‐starting efforts at the Zoo.

Abstract
We construct freely acting asymmetric ℤ4 orbifolds of type IIB string theory on T5 preserving 24,16 or 8 supercharges in five dimensions. We show that these models are well-defined if the SO(8) lattice is chosen, instead of the SU(2)4 lattice, which was previously considered in the literature.

Authors: Kambeitz-Ilankovic Lana , Strube Wolfgang , Baune Bernhard T. , Falkai Peter , Röll Lukas , Leucht Stefan 
Published: November 2024

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Längsschnittstudien zeigen, dass die Mehrzahl der Betroffenen mit schizophrenen Psychosen schizophrenieassoziierte kognitive Defizite (CIAS) entwickelt.

Ziel der Arbeit
Überblick über Epidemiologie, Diagnostik und Evidenz verschiedener Therapieoptionen von CIAS.

Material und Methoden
Übersicht aktueller Befunde zur Wirksamkeit verschiedener Therapien bei CIAS.

Ergebnisse
Bis zu 85 % der Betroffenen mit schizophrenen Psychosen zeigen CIAS, z. T. bereits vor der Entwicklung von Positiv- oder Negativsymptomen. CIAS gehen mit einer hohen individuellen Belastung einher, weil viele alltagsrelevante Bereiche des Funktionsniveaus beeinträchtigt sind. Zur klinischen Erfassung stehen verschiedene Testbatterien zur Verfügung. Als Standard für Studien und spezielle klinische Fragestellungen gilt die MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB). Die Behandlung von CIAS erfordert ein multimodales Vorgehen, wobei aktuell nichtmedikamentöse Strategien (z. B. kognitive Remediation, Sporttherapie) die beste Evidenz vorzuweisen haben. Nichtinvasive Neurostimulationsverfahren und dopaminerge Antipsychotika der 1. und 2. Generation wirken kaum auf kognitive Funktionsstörungen im Rahmen schizophrener Psychosen.

Diskussion
CIAS ist ein häufiges, krankheitsimmanentes Symptom bei schizophrenen Psychosen, das im klinischen Alltag beachtet werden sollte, da es die Betroffenen erheblich in ihrem Funktionsniveau und ihrer Lebensqualität beeinträchtigt. Therapeutische Optionen sind limitiert, doch zeigen innovative psychosoziale Interventionen kleine bis moderate Effekte. Zudem könnten neue, auf Basis aktueller neurobiologischer Erkenntnisse entwickelte Medikamente sowie Kombinationen mit psychosozialen und Neurostimulationsverfahren Perspektiven eröffnen.

AbstractInteractions with fisheries is a major threat to sea turtles. However, space-use at foraging locations remains overlooked in many populations, preventing effective protection. We assess the space-use of 14 juvenile and 24 adult green turtles (Chelonia mydas) satellite-tracked in 2018–2022 within a foraging site of global importance for this species, the Banc d’Arguin in Mauritania, West Africa. Turtles exhibited a patchy distribution and used overlapping habitats irrespective of sexes and life stages. Mean individual home range was larger (151.5 ± 160.5 km²) than values reported in most green turtle populations. Individuals concentrated in two main areas used year-round. Inshore/offshore movements seem to occur within the central part of the Banc d’Arguin, with turtles moving to deeper areas during colder months. More than half of the turtles performed within-season range shifts and switched between up to four distinct areas, with some individuals returning to previously visited sites. Turtles mostly exploited shallow areas (4.30 ± 3.42 m) and seemed to use disproportionally more of the areas inside the Parc National du Banc d’Arguin, than areas of similar bathymetry outside this marine protected area. This suggests that foraging green turtles have been benefiting from the management of the Park since it was established in 1976. However, turtles’ home range overlapped greatly with artisanal fisheries, which operate in the central shallow waters of the Park. The present study provides valuable ecological information that can be used to inform the planning of fisheries management zones, aiming to reduce the interactions between turtles and artisanal fisheries.

Published: November 2024

Abstract
Purpose
This study aim was to analyze the joint temperature of patients affected by bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) using infrared thermography to investigate whether thermographic imaging patterns are influenced by the severity of symptoms and joint degeneration.

Methods
Sixty-sixpatients ranging from 43 to 78 years old (63.3 ± 8.8 years) with bilateral knee OA and one symptomatic knee were enrolled. Thermograms of the two knees were captured using a thermographic camera FLIR T1020 and analyzed with the ResearchIR software to calculate the temperature of the overall knee and the four regions of interest (ROIs): patella, suprapatellar, medial, and lateral areas.

Results
The temperature of knees affected by OA was influenced by joint degeneration level and symptoms: patients with higher OA grade in the symptomatic knees presented higher total knee temperatures compared to the asymptomatic ones (p = 0.002), as well as in the patellar (p = 0.005), lateral (p = 0.002), and medial (p = 0.001) areas. On the other hand, patients with the same OA level in the two knees presented a higher temperature in the symptomatic knee only in the medial area (p = 0.037). Symptomatic knees demonstrated a different pattern compared to asymptomatic knees, with the medial area presenting the highest temperature changes (p = 0.020). Patients reporting prevalent pain in the lateral knee area presented higher differences in total knee temperature (0.7 ± 0.7 °C) than patients with pain in the medial area (0.1 ± 0.5 °C) (p = 0.023).

Conclusion
The temperature of knees affected by OA is influenced by the degree of joint degeneration and by the presence of symptoms, with higher temperatures found in symptomatic joints, especially with prevalent lateral knee pain, and in more severe OA. Symptomatic knees demonstrated a different pattern compared to asymptomatic knees, with the medial area presenting the highest temperature changes.
More than stridulation: signal interaction and constraint in the complex vibroacoustic courtship of a cricket
Authors: Stritih-Peljhan Nataša , Žunič-Kosi Alenka 
Published: November 2024

AbstractField crickets (Gryllidae) produce sounds by tegminal stridulation, well-studied for its role in female attraction and choice. However, understanding female preferences for their courtship song remains elusive, despite considering additional chemical, visual, and thermal signals. Beyond stridulation, crickets also display vibrational courtship behaviours that remain largely unexplored. Using Acheta domesticus as a model, we conduct the first comprehensive analysis of the entirety of vibroacoustic courtship signals in crickets, including their interaction. Employing audio recording, laser vibrometry, and videorecording, we unveil a complex signal involving simultaneous wing stridulation, body tremulation, and leg drumming against the substrate in a prolonged display, unique among insects. We identify robust correlations, coupling, and coordination between these signal components. We show the tightest coupling between the two types of stridulation pulses, and between tremulation and drumming signals, while drumming-stridulation coupling is less consistent, revealing a constraint on drumming performance. This constraint in the expression of one signal component, without a trade-off, represents a specific case within complex dynamic signalling. In addition, we find no correlation between drumming rate and its accuracy relative to stridulation, challenging common expectations. Our findings indicate that the information conveyed by the complex courtship display in A. domesticus is not simply proportional to that in the song, shedding light on previous ambiguities surrounding its function. Spectral-intensity analysis indicates the closest perceptual connection between stridulation and drumming signals, likely commonly influencing female choice, while proposing another function for tremulation. Further research should delve deeper into the function of this intricate signal.

AbstractNon-facial (body) rejuvenation is a treatment of increasing demand, with patients seeking to harmonize the benefits of rejuvenated facial appearance with other areas of the body. Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA)-SCA (Sculptra®) has been approved for facial aesthetic uses since 1999 in Europe and since 2009 in the USA and more recently evaluated for the treatment of cellulite of the buttocks and thighs and other body indications. The current evidence base consists largely of prospective observational analyses and case series although systematic evaluations for a number of body areas are underway. Current data support a potential benefit for the use of PLLA-SCA for the aesthetic treatment of the neck, knees, abdomen, hands and upper arms. Improvements in aesthetic appearance (e.g. sagging, wrinkling, dimpling, cellulite) that are sustained over time with minimal side effects can be achieved. Standardization of injection protocols for different body areas is now needed along with the validation of clinical tools that can be used to agree on treatment goals and to evaluate aesthetic improvements over time. A group of international experts in the fields of facial and body aesthetics, plastic surgery and dermatology were selected based on their educational, scientific and publication merits together with clinical experience using PLLA-SCA for body rejuvenation. Here, we provide an evidence-based and expert-led consensus (14 years of off-face treatment experience) on recommendations for appropriate injection protocols for different body sites and evaluation tools when using the biostimulator PLLA-SCA for body aesthetic and rejuvenation procedures.Level of Evidence IV This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
