The Holmberg Collection of Skin Clothing from Kodiak Island at the National Museum of Denmark
Authors: Schmidt Anne Lisbeth 
Published: September 2019

In 1851, during his stay in what was then Russian America, Finnish scientist Henrik Johan Holmberg (1818–1864) collected a unique assortment of some four hundred objects primarily from the Indigenous people of southern Alaska and the Northwest Coast. The collection included skin clothing, dress ornaments, hunting equipment, household tools, and ceremonial objects from the Koniags (of Kodiak Island off the coast of South Alaska) and the Tlingit (along the Pacific Northwest Coast). On his journey home in 1852, Holmberg visited Copenhagen and the Museum of Northern Antiquities (later the National Museum of Denmark). There, he met Christian Jürgensen Thomsen (1788–1865), museum director, Danish antiquarian, and creator of the so-called “three-period system,” which divided early human history into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. Last, but not least, Thomsen founded the first ethnographic museum in the world. Thomsen, who never missed an opportunity to increase the museum’s collections, succeeded in buying Holmberg’s collection from him, perhaps because of Holmberg’s poor finances. The Holmberg Collection consists of unique specimens from a period before the Indigenous population was forever influenced by the cultural changes that were introduced with the early Russian trade. This article focuses the Holmberg Collection of skin clothing, which differed considerably from that of the more northerly Inuit people. The collection is part of the Danish National Museum’s interdisciplinary research initiative Northern Worlds, under the subproject “Skin Clothing from the North,” which includes the museum’s large collection of skin clothing from circumpolar Indigenous people.
Increasing the volume of Gold Open Access journals in SSHA
Authors: Halse Rolf , Linge Lena Cecilie 
Published: September 2019

Currently, there is an apparent lack of Gold Open Access journals in Social Science, Humanities and Arts (SSHA), as showcased by the open letter the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) sent to the SSHA communities 16 May 2019. DOAJ asserts in the letter that they agree 100% that DOAJ’s coverage of SSHA journals is insufficient. The implications of the lack of available outlets for research articles by SSHA grantholders in the early years of Plan S implementation may include disadvantages for researchers in the fields. A mandatory criterion for Plan S compliant OA journals is that they must be registered in the DOAJ. One consequence of the lack of coverage is when SSHA scholars seek funding from any of the research agencies or funders that are part of cOAlition S, as scholars will encounter difficulties in finding relevant quality Gold OA journals in which they can publish their research. This could impair SSHA scholars’ chances of receiving grants. Because of the ongoing and accelerated changes to the scholarly publication landscape today, there is a need to support SSHA communities with identifying quality journals which qualifies as Gold OA. To achieve ‘true’ Gold OA status a journal needs to be indexed in DOAJ, as Gold OA journals are in practice defined by their inclusion in this directory.
The European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences (ERIH PLUS) provides a curated register of peer reviewed journals in the social sciences, arts and humanities. Today ERIH PLUS includes 7,473 scientific journals, and 2,220 of the journals are also listed by DOAJ. Furthermore, ERIH PLUS covers 1,469,204 scholarly Gold OA publications, according to data from Dimensions. However, less than half of these, 712,135 publications, are today indexed in DOAJ. Dimensions (free version) classifies Gold OA publications in the following way: “Gold – refers to articles in fully accessible open access journals that are available immediately upon publication without a license”. In this project we seek to identify DOAJ inclusion candidates from the group of journals that have published the 757,069 Gold OA publications that are not listed in DOAJ, according to Dimensions data. We will work with editors/editorial staff of journals that we identify as having the potential to be indexed by DOAJ. The goal is to increase the volume of Gold OA journals in SSHA. We will contact, present arguments and provide support to journal editors in order to convince them to apply for inclusion in DOAJ.
In the poster, we will outline and describe some of the key tasks for the project in order to reach our goal. The project that we will briefly outline will center on:

Biochar application significantly affects the N pool and microbial community structure in purple and paddy soils
Authors: Yan Shen , Niu Zhengyang , Yan Haitao , Yun Fei , Peng Guixin , Yang Yongfeng , Liu Guoshun 
Published: September 2019

Background
The increasing demand for food production has resulted in the use of large quantities of chemical fertilizers. This has created major environmental problems, such as increased ammonia volatilization, N2O emission, and nitrogen (N) leaching from agricultural soil. In particular, the utilization rate of N fertilizer is low in subtropical southern parts of China due to high rainfall. This causes not only large financial losses in agriculture, but also serious environmental pollution.

Methods
In this study, 16S rDNA-based analysis and static-chamber gas chromatography were used to elucidate the effects of continuous straw biochar application on the N pool and bacteria environment in two typical soil types, purple and paddy soils, in southern China.

Results
Straw biochar application (1) improved the soil N pool in both rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soils; (2) significantly reduced the emission of N2O, with no difference in emission between 1 and 2 years of application; (3) increased the abundance of N-processing bacteria in the soil and altered the bacterial community structure; and (4) improved the tobacco yield and N use efficiency in paddy soil. These findings suggest that, in southern China, the application of straw biochar can promote N transformation in purple and paddy soils and reduce the emission of the greenhouse gas N2O.
Animal Models in Translational Research
Authors: Bolker Jessica A 
Published: September 2019

Abstract

Animal models are a central tool in translational research – that is either basic or targeted biological research designed to generate knowledge that will enhance human health. Basic research generally focuses on gaining insight into disease mechanisms; more targeted studies are used to create and test potential therapies and other clinical applications. While a few core species (especially rodents) dominate translational research, the rapid development of molecular and other tools is providing access to a wide array of new models that can complement traditional species and approaches. Model choice should be guided by a combination of biological, epistemological, and practical considerations, including evaluation of likely predictive validity in the context of a particular research program.

Key Concepts

Animal models serve as proxies for humans in much biomedical research.

To support translation, models must have both internal and predictive validity.

Effective models balance representation of the target with tractability for research.

Rodent models dominate translational research, but emerging tools are increasing access to and interest in a wide range of additional species.

Model choice should be guided by both biological and epistemological considerations, in the context of a particular research program.

Model choice and interpretation must be informed by knowledge of the unique biology of both the model and the target species, especially their evolutionary history.

Challenges in model‐based translational research include limited knowledge of targets and overreliance on a few dominant model species.

Emerging technologies for
ex vivo
models based on human cells will complement, but probably not replace, the use of animal models in translational research.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine whether serum phosphorylated neurofilament heavy chain (pNfH) levels are elevated before patients were diagnosed with sporadic or familial ALS, and what the prognostic value of these prediagnostic pNfH levels is.MethodspNfH was measured via ELISA in leftovers of serum drawn for routine purposes before the time of diagnosis. These prediagnostic samples were retrieved from the biobank of the University Hospitals Leuven for 95 patients who in follow‐up received a diagnosis of ALS. Additionally, 35 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 85 healthy controls (HC) were included in this retrospective study.ResultsThe median disease duration (range) from onset to prediagnostic sampling and from onset to diagnosis was 6.5 (−71.9–36.1) and 9.9 (2.0–40.7) months, respectively. Fifty‐eight percent of the prediagnostic samples had serum pNfH levels above the 95th percentile of pNfH levels measured in HC. Serum pNfH levels (median (range)) were elevated up to 18 months before the diagnosis of ALS (91 pg/mL (6–342 pg/mL)) in comparison with HC (30 pg/mL (6–146 pg/mL); P = 0.05), and increased during the prediagnostic stage, which was not observed in patients with MCI. Furthermore, prediagnostic pNfH levels were a univariate predictor of survival in ALS (hazard ratio (95% CI): 2.16 (1.20–3.87); P = 0.01).InterpretationOur findings demonstrate that serum pNfH is elevated well before the time of diagnosis in mainly sporadic ALS patients. These results encourage to prospectively explore if pNfH has an added value to shorten the diagnostic delay in ALS.
Adaptive control design for MIMO switched nonlinear systems with full state constraints
Authors: Chen Aiqing , Liu Lei , Liu Yan‐Jun 
Published: September 2019

SummaryThis paper presents an adaptive fuzzy control approach of multiple‐input–multiple‐output (MIMO) switched uncertain systems, which involve time‐varying full state constraints (TFSCs) and unknown disturbances. In the design procedure, the fuzzy logic systems are adopted to approximate the unknown functions in the systems. The adaptive fuzzy controller is set up by backstepping technique. According to the tangent barrier Lyapunov function (BLF‐Tan), a novel adaptive MIMO switched nonlinear control algorithm is designed. Under the rule of arbitrary switchings and the proposed control laws, it is demonstrated that all signals in the resulted system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of zero with TFSCs. Furthermore, the simulation example validates the effectiveness of presented control strategy.
A Hydrangea‐Like Superstructure of Open Carbon Cages with Hierarchical Porosity and Highly Active Metal Sites
Authors: Hou Chun‐Chao , Zou Lianli , Xu Qiang 
Published: September 2019

AbstractCarbon micro‐/nanocages have attracted great attention owing to their wide potential applications. Herein, a self‐templated strategy is presented for the synthesis of a hydrangea‐like superstructure of open carbon cages through morphology‐controlled thermal transformation of core@shell metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Direct pyrolysis of core@shell zinc (Zn)@cobalt (Co)‐MOFs produces well‐defined open‐wall nitrogen‐doped carbon cages. By introducing guest iron (Fe) ions into the core@shell MOF precursor, the open carbon cages are self‐assembled into a hydrangea‐like 3D superstructure interconnected by carbon nanotubes, which are grown in situ on the Fe–Co alloy nanoparticles formed during the pyrolysis of Fe‐introduced Zn@Co‐MOFs. Taking advantage of such hierarchically porous superstructures with excellent accessibility, synergetic effects between the Fe and the Co, and the presence of catalytically active sites of both metal nanoparticles and metal–Nx
species, this superstructure of open carbon cages exhibits efficient bifunctional catalysis for both oxygen evolution reaction and oxygen reduction reaction, achieving a great performance in Zn–air batteries.
Controllable High‐Speed Electrostatic Manipulation of Water Droplets on a Superhydrophobic Surface

Published: September 2019

AbstractBiological processes and technological applications cannot work without liquid control, where versatile water droplet manipulation is a significant issue. Droplet motion is conventionally manipulated by functionalizing the target surface or by utilizing additives in the droplet, still, with uncontrolled limitation on superhydrophobic surfaces since droplets are either unable to move fast or are difficult to stop while moving. A controllable high‐speed “all‐in‐one” no‐loss droplet manipulation, that is, in‐plane moving and stopping/pinning in any direction on a superhydrophobic surface, with electrostatic charging is demonstrated. The experimental results reveal that the transport speed can vary from zero to several hundreds of millimeters per second. Controlled dynamic switching between the onset moving state and the offset pinning state of a water droplet can be achieved by out‐of‐plane electrostatic charging. This work opens the possibility of droplet control techniques in various applications, such as combinatory chemistry, biochemical, and medical detection.

AbstractElectrochemical nanobiosensors are ultrasensitive tools used for detection and monitoring of various markers in biofluids. In the absence of reliable techniques for large‐scale production of reproducible nanomaterial structures on the electrodes, they are created individually in batch‐production. This has become a substantial hurdle in the practical implementation of electrochemical nanobiosensors. An automated microfluidic‐based platform (NanoChip) is presented for reproducible and scalable formation of complex nanomaterial constructs with a defined order of nanocomposites and biomaterials to create ultrasensitive nanobiosensors. The automated liquid handling system of the setup delivers reagents to electrodes inserted temporarily into the chip for modifying their surfaces by depositing different nanomaterials. The NanoChip platform is used for the creation of a multilayer nanocomposite structure on the electrode surface. These reproducible nanobiosensors are used for detecting breast cancer cells in the blood. The nanobiosensors offered a dynamic detection range of 10 to 5 × 106 cells mL−1. Performance of sensors produced from NanoChip shows similar selectivity and operational range along with improved sensitivity and reproducibility compared to sensors developed using batch process. These features make automated Nanochip technology a versatile tool for producing nanosensors for the ultrasensitive detection of various markers in biomedical, clinical, energy, and environmental applications.
Segregation behavior of binary mixtures of cylindrical particles with different length ratios in the rotating drum

Published: September 2019

AbstractParticle shape impacts the flow behavior of granular material but this effect is still far from being fully understood. Using discrete element method, the current work explores the segregation phenomena of the binary mixtures of cylindrical particles (differing in length but with the same diameter) in the three‐dimensional rotating drum operating in the rolling regime, with each cylindrical particle fully represented by the superquadric equation. The important characteristics and the effect of length ratio on the flow dynamics of the binary mixtures are discussed. Some trends are in sync with those of binary mixtures of spherical particles. Unique to nonspherical particles is the orientation of particles, with results indicating that the cylindrical particles align their major axes perpendicular to the drum axis and this behavior becomes more significant for large particles when the length ratio increases. The length‐induced radial segregation causes the orientation of large cylindrical particles to be less uniform.

Published: September 2019

BackgroundAspirin desensitization is increasingly recommended for the treatment of aspirin‐exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD). The objective of this study is to systematically review the efficacy and safety of aspirin desensitization in patients with AERD.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform from inception to January 5, 2019. We included randomized trials and comparative observational studies in any language. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed in duplicate independently.ResultsFive randomized controlled trials (RCTs) enrolled 233 patients with AERD. Compared to placebo, aspirin desensitization (mean daily dose 800 mg) improved quality of life (risk ratio [RR] 2.00; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.31 to 3.06; heterogeneity measure [I2] = 0%; risk difference [RD] +24%; 22‐item Sino‐Nasal Outcome Test [SNOT‐22] scale [0 to 110, higher worse]; mean difference [MD] −10.27 [95% CI, −6.39 to −14.15]; moderate‐certainty); and respiratory symptoms (RR 2.20 [95% CI, 1.55 to 2.73], I2 = 34%, RD +36%; American Academy of Otolaryngology (AAO) scale [0 to 20, higher worse]; MD −2.56 [95% CI,−1.12 to −3.92]; high‐certainty). Aspirin desensitization increased adverse events severe enough to cause treatment discontinuation (major bleeding, gastritis, asthma exacerbation, or rash causing drug discontinuation, RR 4.39 [95% CI, 1.43 to 13.50], I2 = 0%, RD +11%, moderate‐certainty), and gastritis (RR 3.84 [95% CI, 1.12 to 13.19], I2 = 0%, RD +9%, low‐certainty). Findings were robust to sensitivity analyses. Two available observational studies were not informative because they lacked adjustment for confounders and/or contemporaneous controls.ConclusionIn patients with AERD, moderate‐certainty and high‐certainty evidence shows that aspirin desensitization meaningfully reduces symptoms of rhinosinusitis and improves quality of life, but results in a significant increase in adverse events.

AbstractFor electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), encapsulating transition metal phosphides (TMPs) into nitrogen‐doped carbon materials has been known as an effective strategy to elevate the activity and stability. Yet still, it remains unclear how the TMPs work synergistically with the N‐doped support, and which N configuration (pyridinic N, pyrrolic N, or graphitic N) contributes predominantly to the synergy. Here we present a HER electrocatalyst (denoted as MoP@NCHSs) comprising MoP nanoparticles encapsulated in N‐doped carbon hollow spheres, which displays excellent activity and stability for HER in alkaline media. Results of experimental investigations and theoretical calculations indicate that the synergy between MoP and the pyridinic N can most effectively promote the HER in alkaline media.

Published: September 2019

AbstractChiroptical properties of two chiral atropisomers of propeller‐like trityl‐based radical derivatives have been analyzed. A new absolute configuration (AC) assignment has been made, according to the combination of experimental and theoretical data. In this sense, their ACs have been determined through the comparison of the Cotton effects recorded by electronic circular dichroism (ECD) with the theoretical ECD of the open shell structures obtained by TD‐DFT calculations. Finally, their circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) responses have been addressed. Remarkably, this is the first description of organic free radicals as intrinsic CPL emitters. Opposite signed CPL has been detected for each pair of conformers, with acceptable luminescent dissymmetry factors (|glum|≈0.5–0.8×10−3) considering their pure organic nature. In fact, highly efficient chiral emissions have been demonstrated, according to the comparison of |glum| with their respective absorption anisotropy factors (|gabs|). This pioneering study lays the foundations for the optimization of new magnetically active organic chiral emitters.

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe design and synthesis of uranium sorbent materials with high uptake efficiency, capacity and selectivity, as well as excellent hydrolytic stability and radiation resistance remains a challenge. Herein, a polyoxometalate (POM)–organic framework material (SCU‐19) with a rare inclined polycatenation structure was designed, synthesized through a solvothermal method, and tested for uranium separation. Under dark conditions, SCU‐19 can efficiently capture uranium through ligand complexation using its exposed oxo atoms and partial chemical reduction from UVI to UIV by the low‐valent Mo atoms in the POM. An additional UVI photocatalytic reduction mechanism can occur under visible light irradiation, leading to a higher uranium removal without saturation and faster sorption kinetics. SCU‐19 is the only uranium sorbent material with three distinct sorption mechanisms, as further demonstrated by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X‐ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) analysis.
