Influence of Cobalt and Cobalt–Manganese Oxide Coating Thickness Deposited by DLI-MOCVD as a Barrier Against Cr Diffusion for SOC Interconnect

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe influence of cobalt and cobalt–manganese oxide coating thickness on its ability to be a good diffusion barrier against Cr outward diffusion was investigated for stainless steel interconnects (AISI 441) of a solid oxide cell (SOC). The coatings were all synthesized using a DLI-MOCVD (Direct Liquid Injection-Metal Oxide Chemical Vapor Deposition) hot wall reactor. The study shows that a minimum cobalt oxide thickness of 300 nm was needed to be a good diffusion barrier against Cr for the 500-h exposure test. This observation was linked to the Mn concentration reached in the cobalt spinel during exposure. Indeed, during exposure at high temperature, Mn diffused from the substrate into the cobalt coating and transformed cobalt spinel into Co-Mn spinel. Whereas pure cobalt spinel was a good Cr diffusion barrier, cobalt-manganese spinel, Co3-xMnxO4, was not when x > 2. The thickness of the cobalt coatings must be chosen so that the Mn quantity coming into it from diffusion from the substrate does not degrade the protectiveness of the coating.

Published: September 2024

AbstractPoorly-treated wastewater harbors harmful microorganisms, posing risks to both the environment and public health. To mitigate this, it is essential to implement robust disinfection techniques in wastewater treatment plants. The use of performic acid (PFA) oxidation has emerged as a promising alternative, due to its powerful disinfection properties and minimal environmental footprint. While PFA has been used to inactivate certain microbial indicators, its potential to tackle the entire microbial community in effluents, particularly resistant bacterial strains, remains largely unexplored. The present study evaluates the efficacy of PFA disinfection on the microbial communities of a WWTP effluent, through microbial resistance mechanisms due to their membrane structure. The effluent microbiome was quantified and identified. The results showed that the number of damaged cells increases with CT, reaching a maximum for CT = 240 mg/L•min and plateauing around 60 mg/L•min, highlighting the optimal conditions for PFA-disinfection against microbial viability. A low PFA level with a 10-min contact time significantly affected the microbial composition. It is worth noting the sensitivity of several bacterial genera such as Flavobacterium, Pedobacter, Massilia, Exiguobacterium, and Sphingorhabdus to PFA, while others, Acinetobacter, Leucobacter, Thiothrix, Paracoccus, and Cloacibacterium, showed resistance. The results detail the resistance and sensitivity of bacterial groups to PFA, correlated with their Gram-positive or Gram-negative membrane structure. These results underline PFA effectiveness in reducing microbial levels and remodeling bacterial composition, even with minimal concentrations and short contact times, demonstrating its suitability for widespread application in WWTPs.

Reward and Inhibitory Control as Mechanisms and Treatment Targets for Binge Eating Disorder
Authors: Pasquale Ellen K. , Boyar Allison M. , Boutelle Kerri N. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Recent research has highlighted alterations in reward and inhibitory control among individuals with binge eating disorder, identifying both constructs as potential targets for treatment. Treatments targeting reward and inhibitory control for binge eating disorder are emerging. This review aims to summarize the recent literature evaluating reward and inhibitory control in binge eating disorder compared to weight-matched controls using behavioral paradigms and neuroimaging. This review also aims to summarize recent literature evaluating treatments for binge eating targeting these mechanisms and highlights additional work needed in these areas.

Recent Findings
Reward hypersensitivity and impaired inhibitory control are mechanisms underlying binge eating disorder. Individuals with binge eating disorder experience higher initial reward to food, and later, higher anticipatory reward but lower experienced food reward which maintains binge eating behavior. Treatments targeting reward and inhibitory control for binge eating include behavioral, computerized trainings, pharmacological, and neuromodulation treatments. The majority of trials are small but demonstrate promise in reducing binge eating and targeting theorized mechanisms. Larger, randomized trials are needed.

Summary
Changes in reward and inhibitory control are present in individuals with binge eating disorder and treatments targeting these mechanisms demonstrate initial promise. Greater research is needed evaluating reward and inhibitory control simultaneously and with weight-matched comparison groups, as well as larger randomized trials that target both processes simultaneously.

AbstractAdvances in the spatiotemporal resolution and field-of-view of neuroimaging tools are driving mesoscale studies for translational neuroscience. On October 10, 2023, the Center for Mesoscale Mapping (CMM) at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Health Sciences Technology based Neuroimaging Training Program (NTP) hosted a symposium exploring the state-of-the-art in this rapidly growing area of research. “Mesoscale Brain Mapping: Bridging Scales and Modalities in Neuroimaging” brought together researchers who use a broad range of imaging techniques to study brain structure and function at the convergence of the microscopic and macroscopic scales. The day-long event centered on areas in which the CMM has established expertise, including the development of emerging technologies and their application to clinical translational needs and basic neuroscience questions. The in-person symposium welcomed more than 150 attendees, including 57 faculty members, 61 postdoctoral fellows, 35 students, and four industry professionals, who represented institutions at the local, regional, and international levels. The symposium also served the training goals of both the CMM and the NTP. The event content, organization, and format were planned collaboratively by the faculty and trainees. Many CMM faculty presented or participated in a panel discussion, thus contributing to the dissemination of both the technologies they have developed under the auspices of the CMM and the findings they have obtained using those technologies. NTP trainees who benefited from the symposium included those who helped to organize the symposium and/or presented posters and gave “flash” oral presentations. In addition to gaining experience from presenting their work, they had opportunities throughout the day to engage in one-on-one discussions with visiting scientists and other faculty, potentially opening the door to future collaborations. The symposium presentations provided a deep exploration of the many technological advances enabling progress in structural and functional mesoscale brain imaging. Finally, students worked closely with the presenting faculty to develop this report summarizing the content of the symposium and putting it in the broader context of the current state of the field to share with the scientific community. We note that the references cited here include conference abstracts corresponding to the symposium poster presentations.
Body Shame and Sexual Attractiveness: A Grounded Theory Research Among Iranian Women
Authors: Barzoki Meysam Haddadi , Alamdar Fateme S. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractAlthough numerous studies have been conducted on sexual objectification in Western countries, few have focused on this topic among Muslim women. This study aimed to explore and understand the main sources of body shame among middle-aged Iranian women. Using in-depth interviews within a grounded theory framework, 18 middle-aged Iranian women participated in this study. The findings showed that many participants reported not feeling a strong sense of body shame in daily life, which was deeply ingrained in their perceived social expectations in daily interactions. Concerns about not meeting societal standards of sexual attractiveness were narrated as a significant contributor to body shame. Physical self-concept and past intimate relationships were key components in shaping the perception of sexual attractiveness. Furthermore, social identity emerged as a crucial contextual factor, influencing both the need for sexual attractiveness and the level of body shame experienced when exposed to sexually objectifying messages. The multifaceted nature of body shame and its intricate interplay with societal expectations were discussed within the context of this study.

Abstract
Background
Prostate cancer (PCa) represents a significant health challenge for men, and the advancement of the disease often results in a grave prognosis for patients. Therefore, the identification of biomarkers associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of PCa holds paramount importance in patient health management.

Methods
The datasets pertaining to PCa were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was conducted to investigate the modules specifically associated with the diagnosis of PCa. The hub genes were identified using the LASSO regression analysis. The expression levels of these hub genes were further validated by qRT-PCR experiments. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and nomograms were employed as evaluative measures for assessing the diagnostic value.

Results
The blue module identified by WGCNA exhibited a strong association with PCa. Six hub genes (SLC14A1, COL4A6, MYOF, FLRT3, KRT15, and LAMB3) were identified by LASSO regression analysis. Further verification confirmed that these six genes were significantly downregulated in tumor tissues and cells. The six hub genes and the nomogram demonstrated substantial diagnostic value, with area under the curve (AUC) values ranging from 0.754 to 0.961. Moreover, patients with low expression levels of these six genes exhibited elevated T/N pathological stage and Gleason score, implying a more advanced disease state. Meanwhile, their progression-free survival (PFS) was observed to be potentially poorer. Finally, a significant association could be observed between the expression of these genes and the dysregulation of immune cells, along with drug sensitivity.

Conclusions
In summary, our study identified six hub genes, namely SLC14A1, COL4A6, MYOF, FLRT3, KRT15, and LAMB3, which can be utilized to establish a diagnostic model for PCa. The discovery may offer potential molecular targets for clinical diagnosis and treatment of PCa.
Knowledge-based model generation for aircraft cabin noise prediction from pre-design data

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe climate targets set out in the “European Green Deal” call for the consideration and implementation of climate-friendly propulsion concepts and sustainable fuels in future aircraft configurations. This puts the use of very efficient propeller engines into the focus of aircraft design. However, these pose major challenges, especially to cabin acoustics, due to high, tonal sound pressure levels on the fuselage. The design of noise control measures requires the competence to predict the resulting interior noise as early as possible in the design process of the vehicle. This requires a high level of geometric and structural detail regarding the fuselage structure and cabin components. With increasing frequency range, the necessary structural details also increase, which have to be resolved in the simulation models due to the associated decreasing structural wavelength. Especially in the context of aircraft pre-design, there is usually not enough information available for a detailed vibro-acoustic modeling of the fuselage and cabin components, which allows a meaningful prediction of the vibrations and thus the cabin noise. Therefore, the knowledge-based tool Fuselage Geometry Assembler (FUGA) is developed for the targeted enrichment of preliminary design data with knowledge for detailed numerical analyses. This paper describes the knowledge-based geometry and model generation in FUGA, which can consider the necessary (increasing) level of detail for the vibro-acoustic prediction already in the preliminary design. For this purpose, aircraft data sets in the preliminary design data format Common Parametric Aircraft Configuration Schema (CPACS) form the modeling basis. Originating from the aircraft preliminary design, these initially describe the outer shell of the vehicle and are extended by detailed structural information that defines the geometric boundary conditions for component placement in cabin design. For the cabin components, the open-source geometry kernel Open Cascade Technology (OCCT) is used to provide geometries at the level of detail required for subsequent analyses. The geometry models are then discretized in open source (e.g. Gmsh) or commercial meshers and further used for numerical analysis. Finally, the prediction of cabin noise is demonstrated as a Proof of Concept using the example of a short-haul propeller-driven aircraft and the feasibility of the proposed method is indicated by investigating the sensitivity of resulting simulation models to the fuselage skin thickness.

Published: September 2024

AbstractHigh quantities of biomass produced in greenhouses create environmental problems as this side stream, and its downgraded products are not further used in the production cycle. The aim of our research was the identification and semi-quantification of molecules extracted from vegetative tomato plant residues with sustainable green alternative solvents using vacuum-assisted soxhlet and solid–liquid extraction to evaluate the possibilities for high-value applications for the first time. To identify compounds, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis and the Folin–Ciocalteau method were used. In sum, 285 different compounds have been assigned to 383 detected peaks using GC–MS analysis. The solvents 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) and ethyl acetate, compared with ethanol and hexane, provided better results with a maximum number of 99 ± 8.83 compounds, a maximum total concentration of 5894.82 ± 586.48 and 3363.02 ± 71.14 mg naphthalene equivalent (NEQ) kgdw−1, and a total phenolic content of 2143.25 ± 155.17 and 1605.92 ± 66.46 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) kgdw−1, respectively. With 781.2 ± 112.66 and 718.25 ± 54.89 mg NEQ kgdw−1, the compound neophytadiene was the most common terpene in ethyl acetate and 2-MTHF extracts, respectively. It can be concluded that vegetative tomato plant residues contain a large variety of bioactive molecules. Green solvents, such as 2-MTHF and ethyl acetate, enhance the extraction of these molecules from the solid matrix.

Entwicklung eines Fragebogens zur Messung der Anerkennungserfahrung von Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe 1
Authors: Barth Maximilian , Lüke Timo 
Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungAnerkennung ist ein Ziel schulischer Inklusion. Aufgrund von fehlenden Instrumenten gibt es jedoch wenige empirische Forschungsarbeiten zu Anerkennungserfahrungen in der Schule. Ziele der Arbeit sind demnach die Konstruktion und erste Evaluation eines Fragebogens zur Messung der Anerkennungserfahrung von Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe 1. Eine Itemanalyse sowie die Überprüfung der Reliabilität und Validität wurden mit 454 Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe 1 vorgenommen. Ein einfaktorielles Modell mit 16 Items zeigte den besten Modellfit. Die interne Konsistenz des Fragebogens ist zufriedenstellend (ω = 0,91). Zur Beurteilung der Konstruktvalidität wurden der Perceptions of Inclusion Questionnaire sowie die Subskala Selbstwert des Self Description Questionnaire I eingesetzt. Die Anerkennungserfahrung korrelierte mit konstruktnahen Variablen (soziale Integration, Selbstwert) stärker als mit konstruktfernen Variablen (Wohlbefinden in der Schule, akademisches Selbstkonzept, Zeugnisnoten). Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass der Fragebogen übliche Qualitätsanforderungen erfüllt. Die Überprüfung der psychometrischen Eigenschaften an unabhängigen Stichproben steht jedoch noch aus.
Unlocking Teacher Agency for Professional Learning Through Connection-Building: Evidence from a Professional Development Program on China’s Standards of English Language Ability
Authors: Zhang Jie , Peng Yue 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study explores how teachers construct and enact agency in professional learning from an activity theory perspective. Through a qualitative case study of three language teachers’ experiences within a professional development (PD) program focusing on China’s Standards of English Language Ability (CSE), this research identifies agency construction as a triadic connection-building process among teachers (subjects), the CSE learning target (tool) and teachers’ professional development goals (objects). The findings suggest that PD programs can be designed to assist teachers in building these connections by understanding their broader professional needs, guiding them to identify specific learning objectives relevant to their professional practices and supporting their application of the CSE to achieve these objectives. This study contributes to the literature on teacher professional learning by offering a nuanced understanding of teacher agency construction and proposing an agency-oriented approach to PD program design and implementation in facilitating teachers’ engagement with new tools like the CSE to support sustainable professional growth.
