Authors: Ru Jingjing , Zhao Bing , Zeng Fan , Guo Feiyun , Liu Jinhua , Chen Jianzhong 
Published: September 2024

AbstractA series of Bi3+/Eu3+ co-doped Ca2Ta2O7 (CTO:Bi3+/Eu3+) phosphors were prepared by high-temperature solid-state method for dual-emission center optical thermometers and white light-emitting diode (WLED) device. By modulating the doping ratio of Bi3+/Eu3+ and utilizing the energy transfer from Bi3+ to Eu3+, the tunable color emission ranging from green to reddish-orange was realized. The designed CTO:0.04Bi3+/Eu3+ optical thermometers exhibit significant thermochromism, superior stability, and repeatability, with maximum sensitivities of Sa = 0.055 K−1 (at 510 K) and Sr = 1.298% K−1 (at 480 K) within the temperature range of 300−510 K, owing to the different thermal quenching behaviors between Bi3+ and Eu3+ ions. These features indicate the potential application prospects of the prepared samples in visualized thermometer or high-temperature safety marking. Furthermore, leveraging the excellent zero-thermal-quenching performance, outstanding acid/alkali resistance, and color stability of CTO:0.04Bi3+/0.16Eu3+ phosphor, a WLED device with a high Ra value of 95.3 has been realized through its combination with commercially available blue and green phosphors, thereby demonstrating the potential application of CTO:0.04Bi3+/0.16Eu3+ in near-UV pumped WLED devices.

AbstractBackgroundNeuropsychiatric symptoms are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI) and often resolve within 3 months post-injury. However, the degree to which individual patients follow this course is unknown. We characterized trajectories of neuropsychiatric symptoms over 12 months post-TBI. We hypothesized that a substantial proportion of individuals would display trajectories distinct from the group-average course, with some exhibiting less favorable courses.MethodsParticipants were level 1 trauma center patients with TBI (n = 1943), orthopedic trauma controls (n = 257), and non-injured friend controls (n = 300). Trajectories of six symptom dimensions (Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Sleep, Physical, and Pain) were identified using growth mixture modeling from 2 weeks to 12 months post-injury.ResultsDepression, Anxiety, Fear, and Physical symptoms displayed three trajectories: Stable-Low (86.2–88.6%), Worsening (5.6–10.9%), and Improving (2.6–6.4%). Among symptomatic trajectories (Worsening, Improving), lower-severity TBI was associated with higher prevalence of elevated symptoms at 2 weeks that steadily resolved over 12 months compared to all other groups, whereas higher-severity TBI was associated with higher prevalence of symptoms that gradually worsened from 3–12 months. Sleep and Pain displayed more variable recovery courses, and the most common trajectory entailed an average level of problems that remained stable over time (Stable-Average; 46.7–82.6%). Symptomatic Sleep and Pain trajectories (Stable-Average, Improving) were more common in traumatically injured groups.ConclusionsFindings illustrate the nature and rates of distinct neuropsychiatric symptom trajectories and their relationship to traumatic injuries. Providers may use these results as a referent for gauging typical v. atypical recovery in the first 12 months post-injury.

AbstractPhytoplankton photosynthesis is the first step of energy capture in the open ocean and is therefore fundamental for global biogeochemical processes and ecosystem functioning. High‐resolution methods are required to fully capture the variability of marine photosynthesis and its environmental drivers. Here, we combine two high‐resolution underway methods to study phytoplankton photophysiology, Fast Repetition Rate fluorometry and Flow Cytometry, along a transect in the North‐East Atlantic Ocean from the polar circle to the equator. Significant spatial distinctions in photophysiological strategies were found between biogeographical provinces. The most pronounced distinction was present between the subarctic North Atlantic and the oligotrophic subtropical gyre, where the latter was typified by high photosystem II (PSII) turnover rates, low pigment‐to‐cell volume ratios, low PSII quantum efficiency and low absorption cross sections for photochemistry in PSII. Small‐scale variability along the transect results from varying diel cycles in photophysiology, possibly governed by light availability and cell metabolism. In general, we found that variability in PSII photochemistry was associated with variability in sea surface temperature, whereas the median mixed layer irradiance could explain more of the variation in the light harvesting capacity of the phytoplankton community. This implies that the expected climate change driven shoaling of the mixed layer may impact phytoplankton light harvesting strategies.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this study, we investigate the intricate electrodynamics of the Earth's horizontal component of the geomagnetic field (ΔH) in response to two significant solar flares (SF) occurring on 03 July and 28 October 2021. These flares are classified as X1.59 and X1.0, respectively. It is noted that the ΔH follows the X‐ray variation during the SF, but there is a time lag of a few minutes between the X‐ray and ΔH. A possible explanation for the time lag is the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere coupling, via ion drag.
Latent Heating Effect on the Intensification of Southwest Vortices Over the Downstream Area of the Second‐Step Terrain in China

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe eastward displacement of Southwest Vortices (SWVs) profoundly impacts the precipitation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin (YRB) in summer. At present, the feedback mechanism of latent heating on the persistent eastward movement of SWVs under the influence of the orographic effect of the second‐step terrain in China remains unclear. Therefore, this study focused on clarifying the relationship between orographic effects and the mechanisms governing the persistent eastward movements of SWVs, as well as the feedback effect of latent heating on the eastward‐moving SWVs. In this study, it is revealed that discontinuous maintenance of closed vortex circulation occurs when eastward‐moving SWVs pass over the second‐step terrain region. Specifically, eastward‐moving SWVs first experience dissolution on the windward side, followed by substantial reconstruction of closed vortex circulation on the leeward side when passing over the second‐step terrain region. Moreover, the reconstruction of closed vortex circulation on the leeward side is closely associated with the feedback effect of latent heating, and the microphysical property of cold clouds identified during the vortex intensification determines the dual‐peak feature observed in the vertical constitution of the total latent heating, which is related to two major phase‐transition processes: the condensation of water vapor into liquid‐phase hydrometeors (LCP_vapor) process and the desublimation of water vapor into ice‐phase hydrometeors (LSP_vapor) process. From a potential vorticity (PV) perspective, latent heating promotes the genesis of PV anomalies, which accordingly facilitates the maintenance of a positive “vorticity tower” (i.e., total budget of vorticity) via the tilting effect and the horizontal advection effect of local vorticity. Further sensitivity experiments of latent heating indicated that latent heating associated with the LCP_vapor process fulfills a more important role in sustaining the positive “vorticity tower” than does that associated with the LSP_vapor process during the vortex intensification.
Study on the Characteristics and the Parameterization of Effective Radius in Stratiform Precipitation Warm Cloud of Southeastern China Based on WRF‐SBM Simulation

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe study on the characteristic and the parameterization of cloud droplet effective radius (re) is important for the optimization of warm cloud microphysical schemes in numerical models. Based on numerical simulations combined with the four aircraft observations of stratiform warm clouds in Jiangxi, China, this work investigated their microphysical properties, focusing on the evolutionary pattern and the parameterization of re, as well as the correlation between re and the number concentration (Nc) of cloud droplet and liquid water path (LWP). It is found that there is a negative correlation between re and Nc, and the rate of the decrease could be increased by 2–4 times with a strengthening of collision‐coalescence process. What's more, the direct introduction of collision‐coalescence is conducted based on the existing re parameterization schemes, and the results show that it can perform well in most of collision‐coalescence intensities. It is also found that LWP is positively correlated with re when re is less than 12 μm, after which the relationship changes to a negative correlation due to the impact of rainfall intensity.
Impact of NGOs’ undercover videos on citizens’ emotions and pro-social behaviors

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Undercover videos have become a popular tool among NGOs to influence public opinion and generate engagement for the NGO’s cause. These videos are seen as a powerful and cost-effective way of bringing about social change, as they provide first-hand evidence and generate a strong emotional response among those who see them. In this paper, we empirically assess the impact of undercover videos on support for the cause. We in addition analyze whether the increased engagement among viewers is driven by the negative emotional reactions produced by the video. To do so, we design an online experiment that enables us to estimate both the total and emotion-mediated treatment effects on engagement by randomly exposing participants to an undercover video (of animal abuse) and randomly introducing a cooling-off period. Using a representative sample of the French population (N=3,310), we find that the video successfully increases actions in favor of animals (i.e., donations to NGOs and petitions), but we fail to prove that this effect is due to the presence of primary emotions induced by the video. Last, we investigate whether activists correctly anticipate their undercover videos’ (emotional) impact via a prediction study involving activists (exploratory analysis).

Optimal techno-economic assessment of isolated microgrid integrated with fast charging stations using radial basis deep learning

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe global transportation electrification commerce sector is now booming. Stakeholders are paying an increased attention to the integration of electric vehicles and electric buses into the transportation networks. As a result, there is an urgent need to invest in public charging infrastructure, particularly for fast charging facilities. Consequently, and to complete the portfolio of the green environment, these fast-charging stations (FCSs) are designed using 100% of renewable energy sources (RESs). Thus, this paper proposes an optimization model for the techno-economic assessment of FCSs comprising photovoltaic and wind turbines with various energy storage devices (ESDs). In this regard, the FCS performance is evaluated using flywheels and super capacitors due to their high-power density and charging/discharging cycles and rates. Then, optimal sizing of these distributed generators is attained considering diverse technical and economical key performance indicators. Afterwards, the problem gets more sophisticated by investigating the effect of RES’s uncertainties on the selection criterion of the FCS’s components, design and capacity. Eventually, as an effort dedicated to an online energy management approach, a deep learning methodology based on radial basis network (RBN) is implemented, validated, and carried out. In stark contrast to conventional optimization approaches, RBN demonstrates its superiority by obtaining the optimum solutions in a relatively short amount of time.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe concept of ‘Energy Internet’ (EI) has been widely accepted by both academic and industry experts after more than a decade of development. Since it was proposed, EI has been discussed and applied to many technical works in power and energy areas. Some specific definitions were proposed for EI by those who have applied it to respective fields of engineering, but a comprehensive and widely accepted definition of EI is still being debated. In this paper, we propose the redefinition of EI, based on a comprehensive literature review, some latest trends and driving forces in the global energy industry, as well as its development in the past decade. In addition, we summarise the EI framework and features for future applications, where EI is categorised by its scale into local‐ and wide‐area applications to manifest its effectiveness in power and energy.

Published: September 2024

ZusammenfassungBei einem 8-jährigen, aus Venezuela eingewanderten Jungen bestand am Hinterkopf eine abszedierende, purulente und schmerzhafte Läsion. Da differenzialdiagnostisch auch an eine bakterielle Hautinfektion gedacht wurde, kam zunächst intravenös Cefuroxim zur Anwendung. Die gleichzeitig erfolgte mykologische Diagnostik aus Abstrichen, Kopfschuppen und Haarwurzeln erbrachte den Nachweis des zoophilen Dermatophyten Microsporum canis. Dem entsprach der anamnestische Hinweis auf Katzenkontakt noch im Heimatland Venezuela. Das Kerion Celsi (Tinea capitis profunda) wurde oral antimykotisch mit Terbinafin behandelt, topisch mit Clotrimazol und Ciclopiroxolamin. Nach 2 Monaten oraler Therapie mit Terbinafin heilte das Kerion Celsi narbenlos ab. Microsporum canis ist in Deutschland ein seltener Erreger des Kerion Celsi. Leitliniengerecht muss kombiniert oral und topisch antimykotisch behandelt werden.

Resumo
Objetivo Correlacionar a expressão, por imunoistoquímica, das proteínas OPN, ABCB5 e WNT3A de material anatomopatológico, obtido de blocos de parafina e/ou lâminas, em pacientes com osteossarcoma (OS), analisando as características epidemiológicas, sua presença e influência na evolução e progressão da doença.
Métodos Após a seleção inicial dos casos, ocorreu a busca dos respectivos blocos de parafina, dentre os quais foram selecionados somente aqueles que possuíam massa tumoral suficiente para serem realizados cortes adicionais sem que todo o material biológico fosse utilizado. Foram identificadas áreas do sarcoma nos blocos de parafina representativos para a confecção de blocos multiamostrais (microarranjo de tecidos, ou tissue microarray [TMA], em inglês), realizada em instrumento BenchMark ULTRA (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis, IN, USA). Foi então analisada a associação entre a expressão dos marcadores ABCB5, WNT3A e OPN com as variáveis idade, localização e tipo de tecido (teste exato de Fisher/Qui-quadrado).
Resultados A média de idade foi de 23 anos, e a incidência de pacientes dos sexos masculino e feminino foi a mesma; foram analisadas 40 lâminas de 28 pacientes com OS, entre 2005 e 2017, com tempo de segmento de 80,0 meses, e o tempo de sobrevida foi de 46,7% em 5 anos. Metástases ocorreram em tecido pulmonar (92,9%). Quanto aos marcadores ABCB5, OPN e WNT3A, não apresentaram significância estatísticas quando comparados com faixa etária, neo-adjuvância e/ou adjuvância quimioterápica, localização, sobrevida ou óbito. O OPN mostrou-se negativo em todas as amostras. E o WNT3A expressou-se nos pacientes com óbitos precoces.
Conclusão As proteínas ABCB5, OPN e WNT3A, em estudo imunoistoquímico, não se mostraram presentes com significância estatística. Nos parâmetros analisados, não surgem como sendo fatores preditivos ou de agressividade para o OS.

Published: September 2024

ResumoA lesão do manguito rotador é uma fonte frequente de dor e incapacidade funcional na população em geral, e sua prevalência aumenta com o envelhecimento. O tratamento não cirúrgico é adequado para muitos pacientes, e, quando necessário, o reparo cirúrgico resulta em alívio da dor e bons resultados funcionais. Entretanto, lesões extensas e não reparáveis devido ao tamanho da lesão, grau de retração, atrofia muscular e substituição gordurosa apresentam desafios ao tratamento. Nos casos de lesões irreparáveis que coexistem com degeneração articular/osteoartrite (artropatia do manguito rotador), a indicação de artroplastia reversa é o padrão ouro. Porém, nos casos de pacientes mais jovens e sem osteoartrite, as indicações que preservam a articulação, desde o debridamento até as transferências tendinosas, são preferíveis. A escolha do tratamento mais apropriado não está claramente estratificado na literatura e cada modalidade tem suas indicações, vantagens e desvantagens.
Semiquantum private comparison based on Bell states without quantum measurements from the classical user
Authors: Geng Mao-Jie , Li Xia , Ye Tian-Yu 
Published: September 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel semiquantum private comparison (SQPC) protocol based on Bell states, which enables one quantum user and one classical user to compare the equality of their private inputs with the help of a semi-honest quantum third party (TP). TP is assumed to be semi-honest in the sense that she may take all possible attacks to steal users’ private inputs except conspiring with anyone. The security analysis validates that our protocol can resist not only the attacks from internal participants but also the attacks from an external eavesdropper. Besides, our protocol only asks TP to perform Bell basis measurements but does not need quantum entanglement swapping; and it releases the classical user from conducting quantum measurements and having a quantum memory. Moreover, our protocol can take advantage over previous SQPC protocols based on Bell states in qubit efficiency. Finally, our protocol can be generalized into its counterpart of the collective-dephasing noise quantum channel.
Relationship between polyhedral structures formed by tangent planes of ellipsoidal particles and system sound velocity

Abstract
Internal polyhedral structures of a granular system can be investigated using the Voronoi tessellations. This technique has gained increasing recognition in research of kinetic properties of granular flows. For systems with mono-sized spherical particles, Voronoi tessellations can be utilized, while radial Voronoi tessellations are necessary for analyzing systems with multi-sized spherical particles. However, research about polyhedral structures of non-spherical particle systems is limited. We utilize the discrete element method to simulate a system of ellipsoidal particles, defined by the equation

, where α ranges from 1.1 to 2.0. The system is then dissected by using tangent planes at the contact points, and the geometric quantities of the resulting polyhedra in different shaped systems, such as surface area, volume, number of vertices, number of edges, and number of faces, are calculated. Meanwhile, the longitudinal and transverse wave velocities within the system are calculated with the time-of-flight method. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between the sound velocity of the system and the geometry of the dissected polyhedra. The sound velocity of the system increases with the increase in α, peaking at α = 1.3, and then decreases as α continues to increase. The average volume, surface area, number of vertices, number of edges, and number of faces of the polyhedra decrease with the increase in sound velocity. That is, these quantities initially decrease with the increase in α, reaching minima at α = 1.3, and then increase with further increase of α. The relationship between sound velocity and the geometric quantities of the dissected polyhedra can serve as a reference for acoustic material design.

Abstract
In this work, AlN films were grown using gallium (Ga) as surfactant on 4° off-axis 4H-SiC substrates via microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD). We have found that AlN growth rate can be greatly improved due to the catalytic effect of trimethyl-gallium (TMGa), but AlN crystal structure and composition are not affected. When the proportion of TMGa in gas phase was low, crystal quality of AlN can be improved and three-dimensional growth mode of AlN was enhanced with the increase of Ga source. When the proportion of TMGa in gas phase was high, two-dimensional growth mode of AlN was presented, with the increase of Ga source results in the deterioration of AlN crystal quality. Finally, employing a two-step growth approach, involving the initial growth of Ga-free AlN nucleation layer followed by Ga-assisted AlN growth, high quality of AlN film with flat surface was obtained and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of 415 nm AlN (002) and (102) planes were 465 and 597 arcsec.
