Published: September 2024

Plain Language SummaryCompared to certain other nematodes, limited research has been reported for ring nematode (Mesocriconema ornatum) in peanut. To explore relationships with soil texture characteristics and to examine samples for consistency of species identity, peanut fields in six South Carolina counties were surveyed for ring nematodes. Peanut ring nematode was found in 59% of examined field samples. Increased numbers of peanut ring nematodes were associated with soils with increased sand content and decreased clay content. Ring nematode samples were identified as Mesocriconema ornatum. Results from this survey serve as a resource and reference for future work.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIt is urgent to develop an efficient and stable non‐noble metal catalyst for selective C−H bond oxidation of cyclohexane. Herein, a series of V−W oxides supported on TiO2 catalysts (V−W/TiO2) were fabricated. The V−W/TiO2 catalysts exhibited much higher catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane to KA oil, compared to that of V/TiO2 and W/TiO2 catalysts. The good distribution of active metals and the synergistic effect were responsible for the enhanced catalytic activity. H2‐TPR results disclosed that the presence of V in V−W/TiO2 affected the reducibility of W6+ species, and XPS verified that an electronic interaction was formed between them. Such results led to good catalytic reusability of V−W/TiO2 catalyst during the reactions, and no obvious activity loss was found after six runs. The reaction mechanism was investigated, and the results verified that hydroxyl radicals generated from H2O2 homolysis were the main active oxidative species. Theoretical study revealed that V dopant could regulate electronic structure of adjacent O atom, facilitating the adsorption of cyclohexane, and lower energy was needed for the rate‐limiting step over V−W/TiO2 during the whole oxidation reaction. This work developed an efficient V−W/TiO2 catalyst for the selective oxidation of cyclohexane via a synergistic effect.

Authors: Lu Yang , Chen Feng 
Published: September 2024

AbstractA homogenous dinuclear Os(II) complex bisOs was synthesized and fully characterized. The electrochemical cyclic voltammetry study, and density functional theory (DFT) and time‐dependent DFT (TD‐DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the electronic property. bisOs showed an obvious interaction with lipase and BSA, and can generate singlet oxygen under blue and red LED light irradiation, with a singlet oxygen quantum yield (ΦΔ) of 0.36 in comparison to that of [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 in acetonitrile. bisOs exhibited moderate to great photocytotoxicity against HGC‐27 human gastric cancer cells under blue LED light irradiation, giving the IC50 value as low as 1.83 μM (PI value is 9.7), while was almost non‐cytotoxic in the dark. The cellular singlet oxygen detection in HGC‐27 cancer cells exhibited a concentration‐dependent manner, and cell uptake of bisOs in A549 cells was as high as 120 ng/106 cells, subcellular colocalization study indicated that bisOs was not accumulated in nucleus, and less likely to target mitochondria. This work provides a new example of dinuclear osmium complex as potential photosensitizer candidate for gastric treatment.

AbstractIntroductionThyroid cytopathology cases with suspicious for malignancy (SFM) diagnosis often result in resection. However, molecular testing offers details that may provide additional insights. In this study, the molecular profiles of SFM cases from two institutions that routinely used ThyroSeq v3 (TSV3) were examined.Materials and MethodsFollowing institutional review board approval, SFM thyroid cytopathology cases with TSV3 results were retrieved from the databases of two institutions. Molecular information including molecular‐derived risk of malignancy (MDROM), cytologic‐histologic correlation data, and other related parameters were calculated. Statistical comparisons were made with a p <.05 considered significant.ResultsThe core data set comprised 114 SFM cases that passed TSV3 quality assurance. All TSV3 results were reported as positive or negative for genomic alterations and all except five cases provided a probability of malignancy estimate. The overall combined baseline MDROM of 75.7% (95% CI, 70.0–81.4) was comparable to the risk of malignancy (74%) published in the Bethesda System. There was a statistically significant difference between the combined MDROMs of resected and unresected cohorts (79.0% vs 58.6%; p = .0153). Interestingly, the MDROMs of the resected cohorts from the two institutions were statistically different (75.0% vs 85.3%; p = .020). Cytologic–histologic correlation revealed malignant outcome in 88.5% of resected cases.ConclusionsMolecular analyses of SFM cases demonstrated higher risk genomic alterations that were associated with histologically overt neoplasms, resulting in increased malignancy outcome compared to baseline. MDROM analysis revealed differences in the cytopathologic practice patterns regarding follicular‐patterned neoplasms at the two institutions.
Inverse design of a novel multiport power divider based on hybrid neural network
Authors: Sun Siyue , Zhu Ma , Qi Baojun , Liu Chen 
Published: September 2024

SummaryIn this study, we propose an inverse design approach based on a neural network for a novel multiport power divider (MP‐PD) with complex geometry. The inverse design approach is obtaining geometry from the desired physical performance to address the challenge of conventional methods. We develop a hybrid neural network model for this inverse design. The backbone architecture incorporates a bidirectional long short‐term memory module, a multihead self‐attention module, and convolutional modules. This hybrid neural network is employed to capture the feature of physical performance and learn the relationship between the geometric structure of the proposed MP‐PD and its corresponding physical performance. Consider the design of the power divider as an end‐to‐end methodology that directly maps design requirements to optimal geometric parameters. The neural network transfers the designed process into multiple‐input‐multiple‐output. We adopt the network model to successfully predict 20 geometric parameters of MP‐PDs for two distinct operating frequencies. The two operating frequencies are those utilized in real engineering applications, which are 3.5 GHz in the 5G band and 2.45 GHz in the trackside communication band. The predicted MP‐PD improves the return loss and bandwidth by 8.05 dB and 0.25 GHz, respectively, over the desired performance. The experiments and comparisons demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of our inverse design approach. The efficiency and flexibility of design are also significantly improved by the hybrid neural network model.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3−RR) is a novel green method for ammonia synthesis. The development of outstanding NO3−RR performance is based on reasonable catalyst. Metal oxides have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional electrical conductivity and catalytic properties. Doping serves as an effective strategy for enhancing catalyst performance due to its ability to change the electron cloud distribution and energy levels. In this study, we develop a heterojunction catalyst Fe doped copper oxide nanosheet and cobalt tetroxide nanowire growing on carbon cloth simultaneously (Fe‐CuO@Co3O4/CC) via hydrothermal method. The well‐designed Fe‐CuO@Co3O4/CC has excellent NH3 yield (470.9 μmol h−1 cm−2) and Faraday efficiency (FE: 84.4 %) at −1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE). The heterostructure increases the specific surface area of the catalyst, and the possibility of contact between the catalyst and NO3− ions, enhances the catalytic efficiency. In addition, the catalyst has excellent stability and can stably carry out the electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (NO3−RR), which provides a way for further research on the high‐efficiency reduction of nitrate.

Published: September 2024

AbstractUltra‐lightweight materials often face the formidable challenge of balancing their low density, high porosity, high mechanical stiffness, high thermal and environmental stability, and low thermal conductivity. This study introduces an innovative method for synthesizing high‐performance polymer aerogels to address the challenge. Specifically, we detail the production of poly (2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐phenylene pyridine diimidazole) (PIPD or M5) aerogels. This process involves chemically stripping M5 “super” fibers into nanofibers, undergoing a Sol‐Gel transition, followed by freeze‐drying and subsequent thermal annealing. The M5 aerogels excel beyond existing polymer aerogels, boasting an ultralight density of 6.03 mg cm−3, superior thermal insulation with thermal conductivity at 32 mW m−1 K−1, inherent flame retardancy (LOI=50.3 %), 80 % compression resilience, a high specific surface area of 462.1 m2 g−1, and outstanding thermal stability up to 463 °C. These multi‐faceted properties position the M5 aerogel as a front‐runner in lightweight insulation materials, demonstrating the strategic use of high‐performance polymer assembly units in aerogel design.

Published: September 2024

SummarySoftware‐defined networking (SDN) is an emerging networking architecture paradigm that decouples the control and data planes. The problem of figuring out the number and positions of controllers and mapping of switches to them is known as the controller placement problem. To provide the resilience against the failure of a controller, each switch is mapped to a primary controller (first reference controller or FRC) and a backup controller (second reference controller or SRC). An existing work aims to minimize the worst‐case latency (WCL) from switch to controller when a controller fails. But this work misses the constraint specifying the definition of a switch's SRC, which might cause an increase in the latency between some switches and their controllers in the event of a controller failure. In order to address this issue, a model is proposed in this paper by incorporating the missing constraint. But the addition of this constraint can potentially cause an increase in the minimum number of required controllers. In order to address this issue, a second model is proposed in this paper by modifying the capacity constraint based on the observation that the capacity of a controller need not be reserved for all the switches for which it acts as SRC. The two proposed models aim at minimizing the WCL from switch to controller when a controller fails. Three network topologies are used to test the proposed models and compare their performance with the existing model in terms of principal and subsidiary metrics. The results demonstrate that the proposed models perform on equal level with the existing model in terms of WCL from switch to SRC while outperforming it in terms of average latency (AL). For example, the first proposed model achieves an average AL reduction of 21.63%, 8.55%, and 25.13% compared with the existing model on three networks. Similarly, the second proposed model achieves an average AL reduction of 21.3%, 8.55%, and 24.19% in each network on three networks. Moreover, the second proposed model achieves a fair trade‐off between the minimum number of controllers required and AL while outperforming both the existing and the first proposed models in terms of the average percentage of reserved controller capacity.

Published: September 2024

AbstractAqueous Zn‐ion battery (AZIB) is a new type of secondary battery developed in recent years. It has the advantages of high energy density, high power density, efficient and safe discharge process, non‐toxic and cheap battery materials, simple preparation process, etc., and has high application prospects in emerging large‐scale energy storage fields such as electric vehicles and energy storage grids. Currently, one of the main factors hindering the further development of AZIBs batteries is the lack of suitable cathode materials. This article briefly introduces the advantages and energy storage mechanisms of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Based on the crucial role of cathode materials in AZIBs, several common cathode materials (such as manganese‐based compounds, vanadium‐based compounds, nickel/cobalt‐based compounds, and lithium/sodium intercalated compounds) are reviewed, and strategies to improve their conductivity and cycling stability are summarized, focusing on modification strategies such as structural regulation, nanoengineering, doping modification, and compounding with high‐conductivity materials. The article also points out the key development directions for cathode materials of AZIBs in the future.

Published: September 2024

AbstractSeveral studies have investigated the gut bacterial composition of wild ungulates in the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau. However, the relationship between their gut microbiome dendrograms and their phylogenetic tree remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed 45 amplicons (V3–V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene) from five wild ungulates—Pseudois nayaur, Pantholops hodgsonii, Gazella subgutturosa, Bos grunniens, and Equus kiang—from the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau to clarify the relationship between their phylogenies and gut microbiome dendrograms. The unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis indicated that G. subgutturosa is closely related to P. nayaur; however, these results were inconsistent with their phylogenetic trees. Additionally, the indicator genera in the microbiome of each wild ungulate showed strong associations with the diets and habitats of their host. Thus, diet and space niche differentiation may primarily account for the differences between the gut microbiome characteristics of these wild ungulates and their phylogeny. In summary, our research provides insights into the evolutionary factors influencing the gut microbiome of wild ungulates in the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau.

ABSTRACTMonitoring alien species is critical to their management. However, early detection of invading alien freshwater fish can be challenging due to the difficulty of observing fish in low abundance. Environmental DNA (eDNA) has emerged as a new and potentially more sensitive method for sampling invasive species as compared to conventional methods, but the comparative financial cost is not often assessed. Adoption of eDNA by managers requires studies that showcase its cost‐effectiveness relative to conventional approaches. Here we use eDNA to assist in the management of an aggressive alien fish, the pearl cichlid (Geophagus brasiliensis), that is invading an urban river in south‐western Australia. We applied an occupancy model to survey data collected 6 years apart (2015, 2021) to assess how the species' distribution had changed and to evaluate whether an instream barrier had the potential to limit upstream invasion. To understand the effectiveness of eDNA, we used our model to quantify the relative efficiency (capture probability) of two eDNA sampling methods (active eDNA and passive eDNA) and fyke netting, as well as the number of replicate samples required per site to deliver >95% detection. We coupled the number of replicates needed with the cost per replicate to determine the cost‐efficiency of each method. We found that G. brasiliensis abundance was higher in downstream reaches in both survey years, and there was no evidence that its distribution had changed through time. However, G. brasiliensis was present above the instream barrier. Active eDNA sampling was considerably better at detecting G. brasiliensis than the other methods, making it the most cost‐effective method. Fyke nets came in a close second, and passive eDNA was a very distant third. Our results directly inform management in the study river and broadly highlight the cost‐effectiveness of active eDNA as a freshwater biosecurity tool.

AbstractFew plutonium containing silicates have been reported in the literature and only one other tetravalent plutonium silicate structure has been reported using the flux growth method. With the goal of understanding actinide incorporation into silicates, we describe herein two new plutonium (IV) silicates, Rb2PuSi6O15 and K2PuSi2O7, synthesized using a mixed alkali chloride/alkali fluoride flux growth. Both structures crystallize in the C2/c space group with lattice parameters a=24.2980(10) Å, b=7.1466(3) Å, c=17.2025(8) Å and
96.6560(10)° for Rb2PuSi6O15, and a=9.9478(2) Å, b=5.59820 (10) Å, c=13.1848(2) Å, and
105.7400(10)° for K2PuSi2O7. Comparisons to the synthesis of other reported alkali actinide silicates (Ce, U, and Th) are made. Raman spectra and DFT calculations of formation enthalpies and vibrational modes provide confirmation of structure refinements and enhanced product characterization for comparison with other materials.
