AbstractAimFew studies have investigated the association between premorbid personality and the prognosis of neurotic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the presence of a “nervous personality” described in Morita's Shinkeishitsu theory and the duration of treatment in patients with neurotic disorders.MethodsThe study included 70 patients aged ≥15 years old who first visited the Department of Psychiatry, Toho University Omori Medical Center, between January 2010 and December 2010 and were diagnosed as having neurotic disorders. The subjects' medical records over a 10‐year period from 2010 until 2020 were examined retrospectively to determine the influence of the presence of a “nervous personality” in the subjects on the duration of their treatment.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the basic demographic characteristics or severity of illness at the first visit between groups with and without a “nervous personality.” The mean and median duration of treatment were 25 months and 5 months in the group with a “nervous personality,” and 5 months and 2 months in the group without a “nervous personality,” respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed a significant difference in the duration of treatment between the two groups. Multiple regression analysis performed using treatment duration as the dependent variable identified only presence of a “nervous personality” among the independent variables as a significant factor influencing the duration of treatment, with the duration of treatment being 20 months longer in the group of subjects with a “nervous personality.”ConclusionThe presence of a “nervous personality,” as described in Morita's Shinkeishitsu theory, may prolong the required duration of treatment in patients with neurotic disorders.

AbstractSoft red winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.; SRWW) is a major crop in the US southeast (SE) region. However, growing successful wheat crop is challenged by many stresses resulting in substantial losses in yield and quality. To alleviate these challenges, developing new cultivars with high yield potential with resistance to major pests in the region and good quality is warranted. This constitutes the major goal of the SRWW breeding programs ate the University of Georgia (UGA) and the regional institutions including the southern universities GRAINS (SUNGRAINS) programs. ‘GA09436‐16LE12’ (Reg. no. CV‐1209, PI 700011) SRWW cultivar was among the adapted wheat developed and released by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences in 2019. While GA09436‐16LE12 is generally adapted to the US SE region, it specifically well fit to the Georgia environments. It has high yield, very good resistance to most dominant diseases including leaf (caused by Puccinia triticina Erikss.) and stripe (caused by P. striiformis Westend.) rusts; powdery mildew (caused by Erisyphe graminis); and Soil‐borne wheat mosaic virus. GA09436‐16LE12 has improved Fusarium head blight (caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe) which is reflected in lower levels of Deoxynivalenol toxin and Fusarium damaged kernels levels. It also showed moderate field resistance to Hessian fly [Mayetiola destructor (Say)] although it is susceptible to the biotypes B, C, O, and L. GA09436‐16LE12 has good grain volume weight and good milling and baking quality as a SRWW.

ABSTRACTBackgroundProviding supportive services to patients and their caregivers is essential to quality cancer care, yet the depth, availability, and infrastructure underlying these services remains unknown in community practice. We assessed these factors among practices within the National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) to guide priorities for comprehensive supportive service(s) development and inform implementation of evidence‐based interventions in clinical practice.MethodsSupportive care leaders at NCORP practices completed online surveys regarding availability of services to patients and caregivers within seven domains, service infrastructure (e.g., staffing, technology), and implementation recommendations for caregiver‐specific services. Primary outcomes were the proportion of practices offering at least one service in each domain to both populations and the proportion offering caregiver training/education.ResultsOf the 103 participating practice groups, only 15.5% offered at least one service in each domain to both populations; 21.4% offered caregiver training/education. Psychological (83.5%) and spiritual/religious (75.7%) services were most widely available to both; health promotion (28.2%) services were least available to both. Services offered were largely available on‐site with dedicated staff; caregiver‐specific services were nearly always off‐site and typically self‐pay. Practices most often used the patient health portal to communicate with patients and caregivers (54.4%). Only 28.9% provided bilingual staff for services. Social workers (35.7%) and navigators (34.7%) were recommended to support caregiver services.ConclusionsTo meet national recommendations for supportive service provision, practices should invest in caregiver education/training programs, expand health promotion programs, and increase interpretation services. Future interventions should leverage existing resources (e.g., recommended staff, patient portal).
Investigation of Laser Initiation of Graphite‐Coated TATP and HMTD with Regard to the Influence of Coating Thickness Accompanied by Sensor‐Safe Surveillance Using a Microphone

Published: December 2024

AbstractTriacetone triperoxide (TATP) and Hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD), known for their propensity towards use in improvised explosive devices due to facile synthesis from readily accessible precursors, present a considerable security challenge. Their sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, such as impact and friction, as well as to thermal input, necessitates the development of advanced detection methodologies. This study is dedicated to evaluate the influence of varied laser beam parameters during radiation on these peroxide‐based energetic materials. A novel approach for the controlled energy delivery to substances under investigation involves the application of coatings with predefined absorption coefficients. This technique, coupled with the careful selection of laser parameters, enables the controlled local initiation of reaction in the energetic material without reaching the threshold for mass combustion, thereby avoiding detonation or deflagration. The experimental setup involves the laser irradiation of defined quantities of graphite‐coated TATP and HMTD, with the subsequent laser processing being monitored using a sensitive microphone. This set‐up enables a detailed investigation of the physical phenomena that manifest themselves during the interaction and thus contributes to the state of knowledge about the safe handling and detection of these energetic materials.
Investigation of Mg/Li2O2 and Mg/CaO2 Pyrotechnic Delay Compositions as Delay Pellets
Authors: Michalski Dennis A. , Wickleder Claudia , Kaul Peter M. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractDue to the toxicity and negative environmental impact of lead‐ and chromate(IV and VI)‐based delay compositions, alternative substance mixtures are required to be investigated as possible substitutes for pyrotechnic materials. Therefore, the Mg/ CaO2 and Mg/Li2O2 delay compositions were subject of this work. These mixtures were processed into pellets with the aid of the dry binders HPMC, MgSt, PEG1, PEG2 and PVP and used in delay elements. The binder content used for all the composition was 5 wt%. Burning rates were investigated while taking the influence of oxidizer particle size and the effect of different binders into account. The results show that the combustion rate can be adjusted both via the grain size and by means of the various binders. Further, the impact of the different binders on the ignition temperature of the Mg/Li2O2 and Mg/CaO2 compositions was measured. The compositions were also classified as insensitive to impact and friction. However, during preparation of delay pallets, unintended ignition of pellets occurred while using the HPMC, PEG1, PEG2 and PVP binders. For this reason, safety measures should be followed and special care should be taken while preparing delay pellets. While the peroxides could be identified with Raman spectroscopy, no peroxide residue was found in the reaction products of both peroxide magnesia mixtures.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTRationaleADP‐ribosylation is a posttranslational modification whose higher‐energy collisional dissociation (HCD) products are dominated by complete or partial modification losses, complicating peptide sequencing and acceptor site localization efforts. We tested whether in‐source collision‐induced dissociation (CID) performed on a quadrupole‐Orbitrap could convert ADPr to the smaller phosphoribose‐H2O derivative to facilitate HCD‐dependent peptide sequencing.MethodsADP‐ribosyl (ADPr) peptides derived from the human macrophage‐like cell line THP‐1 were analyzed on a quadrupole‐Orbitrap. We monitored the dissociation of ADPr (+ 541.061 Da) to phosphoribosyl‐H2O (+ 193.997 Da) peptides while varying the source and high‐field asymmetric waveform ion mobility mass spectrometry (FAIMS) compensation voltages. Xcorr and ptmRS were used to evaluate peptide sequencing and acceptor site confidence, respectively. Phosphoribosyl‐H2O acceptor sites were compared with those determined by electron‐transfer higher‐energy collision dissociation (EThcD), performed on a quadrupole‐ion trap‐Orbitrap.ResultsIn‐source CID of ADPr peptides to their phosphoribosyl‐H2O derivatives increased with increasing source voltage (up to 50 V), as judged by monitoring the corresponding modification loss ([adenosine monophosphate/AMP]+) and the number of identified phosphoribosyl‐H2O peptide identifications. The average Xcorr increased from 1.36 (ADPr) to 2.26 (phosphoribosyl‐H2O), similar to that achieved with EThcD for ADPr peptides (2.29). The number of high‐confidence acceptor sites (> 95%) also increased, from 31% (ADPr) to 70% (phosphoribosyl‐H2O), which was comparable to EThcD (70%).ConclusionsIn‐source CID converts ADP‐ribosyl to phosphoribosyl‐H2O peptides that are more amenable to HCD‐dependent peptide sequencing, providing an alternative method for acceptor site determination when ETD‐based methods are not available.
Recognizing and Fostering Moments of Liberatory Design Possibility in Youth Engineering Design Experiences
Authors: Handley Jacqueline 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTAn increased interest in expanding engineering education with youth brings with it a multitude of approaches toward developing engineering programming. In this article, I explore how developing programming for the purpose of fostering liberatory design offers a means of supporting young people in both personally consequential and technically relevant design work. Qualitatively following community‐based engineering design work with seven Youth of Color over 3 years of observation and interview, I document how flexible front‐end design work aided in moments of liberatory design possibility. Subsequently, these moments supported these young peoples' connection engineering and their engagement in canonically recognizable design work. My work reinforces and expands recent work that calls for youth‐centered, justice‐oriented engineering work beyond tech‐specific experiences. Further, youths' experiences raise questions about the development of future engineering experiences for all young people, not just those seeking to pursue engineering.
Joint Modelling of Longitudinal Measurements and Time‐to‐Event Outcomes With a Cure Fraction Using Functional Principal Component Analysis
Authors: Guo Siyuan , Zhang Jiajia , Halabi Susan 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTIn studying the association between clinical measurements and time‐to‐event outcomes within a cure model, utilizing repeated observations rather than solely baseline values may lead to more accurate estimation. However, there are two main challenges in this context. First, longitudinal measurements are usually observed at discrete time points and second, for diseases that respond well to treatment, a high censoring proportion may occur by the end of the trial. In this article, we propose a joint modelling approach to simultaneously study the longitudinal observations and time‐to‐event outcome with an assumed cure fraction. We employ the functional principal components analysis (FPCA) to model the longitudinal data, offering flexibility by not assuming a specific form for the longitudinal curve. We used a Cox's proportional hazards mixture cure model to study the survival outcome. To investigate the longitudinal binary observations, we adopt a quasi‐likelihood method which builds pseudo normal distribution for the binary data and use the E‐M algorithm to estimate the parameters. The tuning parameters are selected using the Akaike information criterion. Our proposed method is evaluated through extensive simulation studies and applied to a clinical trial data to study the relationship between the longitudinal prostate specific antigen (PSA) measurements and overall survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer.

Published: December 2024

AbstractPolymer‐stabilized liquid crystals (PSLCs) are widely used in smart windows, light modulators, and dimmed glass. However, their low mechanical strength, unsatisfactory electro‐optical properties, and poor durability limit their large‐scale application. In this study, a PSLC film with outstanding performance is prepared by incorporating a multifunctional molecule into a fine‐sculptured liquid crystal/polymer composite. The multifunctional molecule is designed to form a vertically oriented layer with a silane coupling agent through a two‐step self‐assembly process and improve the mechanical strength of PSLCs by connecting the polymer networks through covalent bonds. In addition, it endowed the film with good thermal stability through the reversible change from hydrogen bonds at low temperatures to C═N bonds at high temperatures. A PSLC film with ultralow saturation voltage (Vsat < 25 V), wide operating temperature and viewing angle performance, high mechanical strength (60–100% improvement), and high stability (15 000 cycles) is prepared through the self‐assembly of the multifunctional molecule followed by photomask‐assisted photopolymerization. Finally, a bending‐resistant, flexible PSLC film with passive radiative cooling capacity is tested and achieved excellent temperature management. This composite film demonstrated superior performance in every aspect, promoting the application of PSLCs in smart windows for cars and buildings.
Boron and Oxygen Dual‐Doped Carbon Nitride Nanotubes with Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Efficient Electrocatalytic Ammonia Synthesis

Published: December 2024

AbstractThis work reports boron and oxygen dual‐doped carbon nitride nanotubes (B/O‐CNNTs) prepared via a copolymerization process for electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis from nitrogen gas (NRR) and nitrate (NO3RR) sources, respectively. By adjusting the dosage of boron oxide precursor, the texture and content of B/O dual dopants and the coordination environment in the resulting 1D CNNTs can be tuned. The best B/O‐CNNTs can achieve maximum Faradaic efficiencies of 35% and 96% at −1.1 V versus RHE with corresponding ammonia yields of 16.7 and 211.4 µg h−1 mg−1, respectively. A comparatively higher selectivity is achieved in the NRR process compared to NO3RR. The B/O‐induced coordinations boost electron transfer rates along the longitudinal axis. The presence of carbon vacancies and the unique 1D nanotubular structure enhance interactions among reactants. Concurrently, the formed frustrated Lewis pairs are pivotal in activating chemisorbed nitrogen gas or nitrate, resulting in notable accelerations of ammonia generation kinetics. In situ UV–vis spectroscopy reveals that the ideal potential of −1.1 V versus RHE facilitates the involvement of free electrons in the reaction, as it aligns with the conduction potential of B/O‐CNNTs. This study paves the way for the design of non‐metal‐based electrocatalysts with dual dopants for sustainable electrocatalysis toward ammonia synthesis.

Abstract

In the context of continuous cover forestry (CCF), natural regeneration is the preferred form of regeneration, but it is a long-lasting and complex process. Shelter density has a large effect on the regeneration process and results.

The selection system, particularly suited for shade-tolerant species like Norway spruce, relies on continuous regeneration and ingrowth into larger size classes. Regeneration and ingrowth rates vary significantly among stands, influenced by site and historical factors, with no clear relationship to current stand conditions.

In the group system, edge trees influence regeneration by providing seeds, checking weed growth, and exerting competition. Regeneration in gaps is generally satisfactory for both Norway spruce and Scots pine. However, seedlings usually grow slower, especially close to the gap edges.

The shelterwood system promotes regeneration through a successive, uniform opening of the canopy. Shelter trees provide seeds, and reduce seedling damage and competition from ground vegetation. On the other hand, the remaining overstorey shelter trees reduce seedling growth.

Conversion to the selection system initiates regeneration in young stands, aiming for slow and steady regeneration. Given the rapid growth and crown closure in young stands, frequent manipulation of shelter density is essential during conversion, for example by opening small gaps.
Minimal eclectic flavor group Q8 ⋊ S3 and neutrino mixing
Authors: Li Cai-Chang , Lu Jun-Nan , Ding Gui-Jun 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
We perform a comprehensive analysis of the minimal eclectic flavor group Q8 ⋊ S3 which is isomorphic to GL(2, 3), and all its irreducible representations are induced from the irreducible representations of Q8 and S3. The consistency conditions between EFG and generalized CP (gCP) symmetry are revisited, and we find the gCP symmetry compatible with the minimal EFG Q8 ⋊ S3. The most general forms of Kähler potential and superpotential based on Q8 ⋊ S3 are discussed, and the corresponding fermion mass matrices are presented. A concrete lepton model invariant under Q8 ⋊ S3 and gCP is constructed, in which the experimental data of all six lepton masses and six mixing parameters can be successfully described through seven real input parameters. The model predicts a vanishing effective mass mββ in neutrinoless double beta decay.
Spectral representation of cosmological correlators
Authors: Werth Denis 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Cosmological correlation functions are significantly more complex than their flat-space analogues, such as tree-level scattering amplitudes. While these amplitudes have simple analytic structure and clear factorisation properties, cosmological correlators often feature branch cuts and lack neat expressions. In this paper, we develop off-shell perturbative methods to study and compute cosmological correlators. We show that such approach not only makes the origin of the correlator singularity structure and factorisation manifest, but also renders practical analytical computations more tractable. Using a spectral representation of massive cosmological propagators that encodes particle production through a suitable iϵ prescription, we remove the need to ever perform nested time integrals as they only appear in a factorised form. This approach explicitly shows that complex correlators are constructed by gluing lower-point off-shell correlators, while performing the spectral integral sets the exchanged particles on shell. Notably, in the complex mass plane instead of energy, computing spectral integrals amounts to collecting towers of poles as the simple building blocks are meromorphic functions. We demonstrate this by deriving a new, simple, and partially resummed representation for the four-point function of conformally coupled scalars mediated by tree-level massive scalar exchange in de Sitter. Additionally, we establish cosmological largest-time equations that relate different channels on in-in branches via analytic continuation, analogous to crossing symmetry in flat space. These universal relations provide simple consistency checks and suggest that dispersive methods hold promise for developing cosmological recursion relations, further connecting techniques from modern scattering amplitudes to cosmology.
Distance-dependent interaction between cosmic strings inspired by higher-dimensional gauge theory
Authors: Hirose Takuya , Kanda Yukihiro 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
We discuss Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen (ANO) strings with the one-loop effective potentials induced by higher-dimensional gauge theory. As our starting point, we consider a five-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory with an extra-dimensional space S1/Z2. We numerically show the properties of the strings in our model. Especially, we investigate the interaction force between two parallel strings. We find that the interaction force switches from attraction to repulsion as two strings approach each other at a certain parameter region. This interaction is not observed for the ANO strings with the Mexican hat potential. Furthermore, we find that each different factor determines the interaction between large and small interstring distances. We interpret this difference as the origin of the distance-dependent interaction. Our interpretation can also be applied to other scalar potentials. The results in our study give us a new perspective to understand the interaction between the ANO strings with various scalar potentials.
