AbstractBackgroundPan‐immune inflammation value (PIV) is a newly defined biomarker that includes whole cellular components that are indicators of systemic inflammation in complete blood count (CBC), easily accessible and has the potential to reflect both the body's immune response and systemic inflammation status. This study evaluated the pretreatment PIV for its prognostic impact on overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated with Lutetium‐177 (177Lu)‐PSMA‐617.MethodsThe PIV was based on the earliest CBC obtained within 1 month before treatment initiation. Patients were categorized into low and high PIV groups based on the median pretreatment PIV, and the relationship between OS and PIV groups was assessed by multivariable analysis.ResultsA total of 43 patients with mCRPC treated with (177Lu)‐PSMA‐617 were included. The median OS was longer in the low PIV group (15.1 months [95% confidence interval [CI] 10.6–19.5]) than in the high PIV group (4.2 months [95% CI 1.7–6.6]) (p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, high PIV (hazard ratio [HR]: 4.3, 95% CI 1.194–15.93, p = 0.026) and high Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score (HR: 7.05, 95% CI 1.48–33.46, p = 0.014) were associated with shorter OS.ConclusionThis study showed that pretreatment PIV might be a prognostic factor in patients with mCRPC treated with (177Lu)‐PSMA‐617.
Green hotspots? Unveiling global hotspots and shifting trends in carbon credit projects
Authors: Akrofi Mark M. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis study examines the spatiotemporal patterns of verified carbon credit projects from 2004 to 2022, utilizing data from the Gold Standard Foundation (GSF) registry and employing spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I) and hot spot analysis (Getis‐Ord Gi*) in ArcGIS Pro. South Asia and East Africa emerged as key hotspots for carbon credit projects. Hotspots transitioned from China, Brazil, Peru, Panama, and Cambodia (2004–2016) to India, Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda (2017–2022) with Turkey remaining a hotspot throughout the period. Overall, the analysis reveals a statistically significant Moran's I of 0.07 and a z‐score of 3.04, indicating spatial clustering of projects and a less than 1% likelihood that the clustering is a result of random chance. The spatial pattern and types of projects align with socio‐economic conditions and environmental protection objectives in different regions. Domestic energy efficiency projects are prevalent, such as improved cookstoves, biogas digesters, and borehole technologies for safe water access. These findings prompt the deduction that socio‐economic conditions wield substantial influence on investor preferences in carbon credit projects. Hence, the study contends that the overarching goal transcends mere carbon emissions mitigation; it extends to elevating the socio‐economic well‐being of local populations. By pinpointing geographical hotspots and elucidating temporal shifts, this study equips stakeholders with strategic insights into investment in carbon credit projects and highlights evolving investor interests in the carbon credit landscape, bridging the gap between environmental objectives and socio‐economic imperatives.

AbstractAs stakeholder concerns about corporate sustainability intensify, greenwashing—where companies deceptively report their environmental performance for short‐term economic gain—poses a significant threat to long‐term sustainability, making it crucial to explore effective ways to curb this practice. Using data from 1,270 Chinese listed companies from 2009 to 2019, this study constructs two‐way fixed effects and moderating effects models to explore the crucial role of green innovation in curbing greenwashing. Green innovation not only reduces the incentives for greenwashing, but also makes a genuine contribution to environmental protection, thus promoting a “win‐win” scenario for both sustainability and corporate development. Moreover, the positive impact of green innovation on curbing greenwashing can be significantly amplified by easing financial constraints and enhancing firms’ risk‐taking capabilities to foster a stable financial environment, as well as by strengthening the governance structure through increased gender diversity and environmental background among managers. Heterogeneity tests show that this pathway is particularly effective in companies with heavy pollution and higher economic performance. The research findings help to formulate more effective management strategies and incentive mechanisms to reduce greenwashing and achieve sustainable development.
Impact of regional investment on the sustainable development goals: A group analysis of economic and territorial development

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe European Green Deal aims at increasing the sustainability of European economic sectors to mitigate the effects of climate change. Complementing this initiative, the Next Generation EU (NGEU) program, whose budget will exceed 800 billion € by 2026, is not merely a recovery plan but also a catalyst for green technologies and sustainable activities. Within this framework, Italy stands as the largest beneficiary of funds. The present study explored the distribution to date of 194.4 billion € NGEU funds across Italian regions and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that have received the most significant attention as a result of this funding. Leveraging multiple comprehensive datasets, including one encompassing more than 306,706 measures and sub‐measures, the analysis revealed that 55.5 billion € was directed towards Italy's “Green Revolution and Ecological Transition,” with a further 104.1 billion € allocated towards (predominantly) SDGs 7 and 9. Moreover, 70.3 billion € was directed towards southern Italy (including the islands), while 81.0 billion € was allocated to the north. Although the population in the north is approximately one‐third larger than that of the south, on a per capita basis, the north received 2930 € while the south received a significantly greater sum of 3470 €. Thus, the NGEU has not significantly reduced the north–south divide in economic terms. Furthermore, some southern regions have shown satisfactory sustainability performance, despite receiving a relatively lower allocation of NGEU funds. The “Made in Italy” initiative may represent a strategic approach to increasing competitiveness in the global and digital markets and fostering fraternity among Italian regions. The present research offers valuable insights into the regional distribution of funds and their impact on sustainable development, suggesting that territorial gaps may be mitigated through a pragmatic, community‐based approach.

AbstractMicroporous zeolite is commonly employed as the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction of NOx using NH3 as reducing agent (NH3‐SCR) because of its strong acidity and exceptional hydrothermal stability. However, the channel of microporous zeolite limits mass transfer under low temperature. Hierarchical porous molecular sieves can overcome the above imperfections. Hierarchical pore (microporous/mesoporous/macroporous) ZSM‐5 molecular sieves were prepared using polystyrene(PS) microspheres with different particle size as the hard templates and then the ion exchange method was utilized to introduce the active components Ce, Cu, and La. In addition, the effect of PS microspheres with different size and H2O+SO2 on denitrification performance was also investigated. The results exhibited that the specific surface area of the hierarchical pore ZSM‐5 was the smallest when the size of polystyrene microspheres was the largest. The NOx conversion of all supported hierarchical porous catalysts is more than that of supported microporous ZSM‐5 catalyst in the low temperature (200 °C), which was because that the presence of the mesopores favored diffusion‐control in the low temperature, expediting the reactant transport. Furthermore, the supported hierarchical pore ZSM‐5 catalyst exhibited excellent denitrification performance in a wide temperature range of 250–500 °C (the conversion of NOx exceeded 80 % and the N2 selectivity was approaching 100 %). More importantly, the supported hierarchical pore ZSM‐5 catalyst demonstrated notably superior water and SO2 resistance in comparison to the supported micropore ZSM‐5 catalyst.

Published: September 2024

AbstractAn effective, facile, trivial, and one‐pot procedure for the synthesis of chromenopyrroles from benzyl alcohols, 2‐hydroxyacetophenones, and methyl/ethyl isocyanoacetate at room temperature in the presence of visible light has been developed. The Ag salt plays an important role in the activation of isocyanoacetate and the cyclization step. Air‐stable and low‐cost Knölker iron complex has been utilized for the dehydrogenation of primary alcohols that would typically require a higher temperature. The established protocol is scalable and has an extensive functional group tolerance, generating good to excellent yields of the chromenopyrroles at room temperature.

AbstractIndustrial water electrolysis typically operates at high current densities, the efficiency and stability of catalysts are greatly influenced by mass transport processes and adhesion with substrates. The core scientific issues revolve around reducing transport overpotential losses and enhancing catalyst‐substrate binding to ensure long‐term performance. Herein, vertical Ni‐Co‐P is synthesized and employed plasma treatment for dual modification of its surface and interface with the substrate. The (N)Ni‐Co‐P/Ni3N cathode exhibits an ultra‐low overpotential of 421 mV at 4000 mA cm−2, and the non‐noble metal system only requires a voltage of 1.85 V to reach 1000 mA cm−2. When integrated into an anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer, it can operate stably for >300 h at 500 mA cm−2. Under natural light, the solar‐driven AEM electrolyzer operates at a current density up to 1585 mA cm−2 with a solar‐to‐hydrogen efficiency (SHT) of 9.08%. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that plasma modification leads to an “atomic‐scale soldering” effect, where the Ni3N strong coupling with the Co increases free charge density, simultaneously enhancing stability and conductivity. This research offers a promising avenue for optimizing ampere‐level current density water splitting, paving the way for efficient and sustainable industrial hydrogen production.

Abstract3D superwetting materials struggle to maintain high‐flux steady‐state demulsification for oil‐in‐water emulsions because the accumulated oil within the material is difficult to discharge rapidly. The water flow shear force can swiftly remove the oil from the anti‐fouling surface. In this study, by introducing nanofibers and carbon nanotubes and chemical modification, a superhydrophilic‐oleophobic copper foam with pores of several micrometers is prepared, which can achieve a continuous demulsification process with steady‐state flux over 57000 L m−2 h−1 for oil‐in‐water emulsions and rapid hydraulic‐driven oil release under an additional pressure of 5 kPa. Thanks to the ultra‐small pores of the copper foam, the steady‐state demulsification efficiency can be still maintained at over 97.5%. During the demulsification process, the accumulation of oil and surfactants within the copper foam can be maintained at low levels, achieving dynamic equilibrium. With the aid of second‐stage superhydrophilic copper mesh, the demulsified oil‐water mixtures can be rapidly separated. This high‐flux, steady‐state, and efficient demulsification process shows great potential for industrial applications.

Published: September 2024

AbstractHigh‐capacity O3‐type lithium‐rich manganese‐based (LRM) materials exhibit significant structural instability and severe voltage decay, which limit their practical applications. In contrast, the O2‐type LRM materials demonstrate remarkable structural stability despite offering lower capacity. In this study, a composite material, O3@O2‐LRM is designed, by coating the main structure of O3‐type LRM with a minor amount of O2‐type LRM to combine the high capacity of the O3 phase with the superior stability of the O2 phase. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that O3@O2‐LRM exhibits both high specific capacity and reduced voltage decay. Furthermore, a series of characterizations after different cycles confirm its enhanced structure stability compared to O3‐LRM. This novel structure holds great promise for developing advanced cathode materials capable of meeting the demanding requirements of next‐generation Li‐ion batteries.

AbstractThis study develops an innovative multifunctional concrete sandwich shell based on a combined experimental and finite element (FE) study on its flexural behavior. The sandwich shell is made up of inner and outer concrete layers connected by connectors, with a middle functional layer that provides various functions such as insulation, acoustic, and vibration control. Bending tests were conducted on four groups of specimens, including three groups of sandwich shells with different types of connectors, that is, truss, grid, and plate connectors, and one reference group of solid shells. Loads, displacements, and strains were recorded during the tests. The FE analysis showed good correlation with the experimental results. Furthermore, a parametric study was conducted using the FE model to evaluate the influence of different parameters, such as middle layer thickness and number of connectors. The results show that the performance of the sandwich shell is comparable to, and in some cases better than, that of the solid shell, depending on the type of connectors used. This study provides a proof of concept for the sandwich shell and establishes a prototype structure for future research.

ABSTRACTPlastics offer several benefits, such as durability, versatility, and cost‐effectiveness, which have led to their pervasive use in nearly every aspect of modern life. However, their widespread use has led to significant environmental concerns. One of the major issues is their persistence in the environment, where they accumulate and cause contamination. This problem is particularly severe with plastic packaging and microparticles used in cosmetic products. As a result, the cosmetics industry started producing environmentally sustainable glitter. “Biodegradable” glitter is available in distinct compositions, mainly with a central base composed of a biodegradable material. This review focuses on academic research and patents related to glitter and biodegradable glitter, aiming to classify and compare commercially available options. Furthermore, this review analyzes scientific research on conventional glitter and its conclusions regarding environmental impact. For this, we used the keywords “glitter,” “biodegradable glitter,” “eco‐friendly glitter,” “natural glitter,” and “sustainable glitter” in the databases of Wiley, Science Direct, Springer, and Clarivate Analytics ISI—Web of Science. We also performed a bibliometric analysis using the keyword “glitter” in the Web of Science database to obtain a bibliometric map of publication trends in the field using VOSviewer software. The products identified in the search were analyzed for their components and biodegradation potential. These products were classified as “biodegradable” if they were composed entirely of biodegradable constituents and as “eco‐friendly” if only a portion of their constituents was biodegradable. We observed that several glitter products are incorrectly classified as biodegradable, demonstrating the need for standardized terminology that accurately reflects the composition of the glitter particles. Patent applications indicate a growing interest in developing environmentally safe glitter particles in recent years. Studies on conventional glitter mainly focus on its environmental impact or discuss analyzes for the identification and classification of glitter particles. The data gathered highlight the gaps in the field, mainly related to glitter production methods and the standardization of biodegradable glitter. Thus, studies in this direction are highly necessary.

Massive fields in AdS from constructive holography
Authors: de Mello Koch Robert , Roy Pratik , Van Zyl Hendrik J. R. 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Collective field theory offers a constructive framework for exploring the AdS/CFT duality. In this article, we focus on constructing rotations within the light-front quantized collective field theory for the full set of spatial coordinates in the dual bulk AdS spacetime. Two intricate aspects require attention: how rotations involving the emergent holographic coordinate are implemented, and how rotations that involve the spatial coordinates participating in the construction of the light-cone coordinates X± are realized. Our construction is in agreement with Metsaev’s construction directly in the gravity theory. Additionally, we derive the eigenfunctions of the AdS mass operator, which dictate the GKPW rule for the emergent higher-dimensional theory.
Identifying regions in wide-angle scattering via graph-theoretical approaches
Authors: Ma Yao 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
The method of regions, which provides a systematic approach for computing Feynman integrals involving multiple kinematic scales, proposes that a Feynman integral can be approximated and even reproduced by summing over integrals expanded in certain regions. A modern perspective of the method of regions considers any given Feynman integral as a specific Newton polytope, defined as the convex hull of the points associated with Symanzik polynomials. The regions then correspond one-to-one with the lower facets of this polytope.As Symanzik polynomials correspond to the spanning trees and spanning 2-trees of the Feynman graph, a graph-theoretical study of these polynomials may allow us to identify the complete set of regions for a given expansion. In this work, our primary focus is on three specific expansions: the on-shell expansion of generic wide-angle scattering, the soft expansion of generic wide-angle scattering, and the mass expansion of heavy-to-light decay. For each of these expansions, we employ graph-theoretical approaches to derive the generic forms of the regions involved in the method of regions. The results, applicable to all orders, offer insights that can be leveraged to investigate various aspects of scattering amplitudes.
Almost-Poisson Brackets for Nonholonomic Systems with Gyroscopic Terms and Hamiltonisation

AbstractWe extend known constructions of almost-Poisson brackets and their gauge transformations to nonholonomic systems whose Lagrangian is not mechanical but possesses a gyroscopic term linear in the velocities. The new feature introduced by such a term is that the Legendre transformation is an affine, instead of linear, bundle isomorphism between the tangent and cotangent bundles of the configuration space and some care is needed in the development of the geometric formalism. At the end of the day, the affine nature of the Legendre transform is reflected in the affine dependence of the brackets that we construct on the momentum variables. Our study is motivated by a wide class of nonholonomic systems involving rigid bodies with internal rotors which are of interest in control. Our construction provides a natural geometric framework for the (known) Hamiltonisations of the gyrostatic generalisations of the Suslov and Chaplygin sphere problems.
