AbstractEquidistant plant arrangements have shown positive impacts, in the United States over the last century, on soybean (Glycine max L.) yield and seed quality by reducing intraspecific plant competition and enhancing early canopy cover. This study aims to (i) assess the effects of equidistant versus non‐equidistant plant arrangements on soybean yield and seed quality across different regions in the United States; (ii) explore the effect of modified soybean plant canopy resulting from different plant arrangements on yield and seed quality. In 2021 and 2022, 13 trials were conducted in Kansas, Mississippi, and South Dakota. The treatments consisted of three equidistant plant arrangements of 13 cm × 13 cm, 15 cm × 15 cm, and 20 cm × 20 cm (620,000, 430,000, 242,363 seeds ha−1, respectively), and a non‐equidistant with 38 cm of row space (321,236 seeds ha−1). Soybean yield and yield components were collected, and canopy coverage (%) was monitored throughout the growing season. Overall, there is no evidence of any advantage of equidistant over non‐equidistant arrangements in soybeans. Yield differences related to spatial arrangement were observed in only three trials: the non‐equidistant increased yield compared to the 20 cm × 20 cm equidistant arrangement (lowest density) in two trials, while the 13 × 13 and 15 × 15 patterns (highest density) showed higher yield compared to the 20 cm × 20 cm arrangement in one trial. Furthermore, seed quality remained constant across spatial arrangements in the 13 trials. In contrast to prior research, our study found no correlation between canopy coverage development and yield improvement. The tested equidistant arrangement while promising did not provide substantial evidence of yield improvement relative to the non‐equidistant.

AbstractTwo‐dimensional (2D) conjugated metal‐organic frameworks (c‐MOFs) are promising materials for supercapacitor (SC) electrodes due to their high electrochemically accessible surface area coupled with superior electrical conductivity compared to traditional MOFs. In this work, porous and non‐porous HHB−Cu (HHB=hexahydroxybenzene), derived through surfactant‐assisted synthesis are studied as representative 2D c‐MOF models with different characteristics, showing diverse reversible redox reactions with Na+ and Li+ in aqueous (10 M NaNO3) and organic (1.0 M LiPF6 in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate) electrolytes, respectively. These redox activities were here deployed to design negative electrodes for hybrid SCs (HSCs), combining the battery‐like property of HHB−Cu at the negative electrode and the high capacitance and robust cyclic stability of activated carbon (AC) at the positive electrodes. In the organic electrolyte, porous HHB−Cu‐based HSC achieves a maximum cell specific capacity (Cs) of 22.1 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, specific energy (Es) of 15.55 Wh kg−1 at specific power (Ps) of 70.49 W kg−1, and 77 % cyclic stability after 3000 gravimetric charge–discharge (GCD) cycles at 1 A g−1 (specific metrics calculated on the mass of both electrode materials). In the aqueous electrolyte, porous HHB−Cu‐based HSC displays a Cs of 13.9 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, Es of 6.13 Wh kg−1 at 44.05 W kg−1, and 72.3 % Cs retention after 3000 GCD cycles. The non‐porous sample, interesting for its superior electrical conductivity despite its limited surface area compared to its porous counterpart, shows lower Es performance but better rate capability compared to the porous one. This study indicates the potential of assembling a battery‐SC hybrid system by rationally exploiting the battery‐like behavior of 2D c‐MOFs and the electrochemical double‐layer capacitance of AC.
Influence of Rippled Electron Density and Refractive Index on Second Harmonic Generation of Super‐Gaussian Pulses in Inhomogeneous Plasmas

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTEffects of rippled electron density, the intensity of the laser beam, and the refractive index on the second harmonic generation of super‐Gaussian pulses in inhomogeneous plasmas are investigated. Using the magnetic field of the laser beam and the quiver velocity of the electrons, the second harmonic nonlinear ponderomotive force is obtained. This nonlinear force pushes electrons which generates a space‐charge force and nonlinear electron velocity. This leads to the nonlinear current density. Using the linear and nonlinear current densities and Maxwell's equations, the equation of the second harmonic electric field is obtained. Results show that by increasing the laser intensity and the amplitude of the ripped electron density, the absolute value of the second harmonic electric field amplitude increases. By increasing the refractive index of the plasma, the amplitude of the second harmonic wave decreases.
Neural network based Equaliser for non‐Gaussian noise
Authors: Kumar Ritesh , Agrawal Monika , Bhadouria Vijay Singh 
Published: September 2024

SummaryThe noise that affects underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) is primarily characterised by its non‐stationary nature and is predominantly non‐Gaussian in distribution. The Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) criterion‐based receiver/equaliser is suboptimal for Underwater Acoustic Communication (UWAC). An underwater acoustic communication (UWAC) system that is resilient should have the capability to effectively manage a wide range of underwater noise patterns and complex multipath, non‐stationary channels with a high level of reliability. To address these challenges, we suggest the deployment of a robust receiver that autonomously handles the communication channel. This receiver would consist of two stages: the first stage would involve a prefilter based on the time‐reversal mirror (TRM), while the second stage would utilise a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). Analysis of the proposed receiver in different scenarios unequivocally demonstrates its superiority over the conventional Decision Feedback Equalise (DFE) and Deep Neural Network (DNN) based receiver.

AbstractAimsImpella has become a new option for mechanical circulatory support in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS); however, prognostic models for patients after Impella are lacking. We aimed to identify the factors that predict in‐hospital mortality in patients with CS requiring Impella and develop a new risk prediction model.Methods and resultsWe utilized the J‐PVAD registry, which includes all cases where Impella was implanted in Japan. Two‐thirds of the patients in the J‐PVAD registry were randomly assigned to the derivation cohort (n = 1701), and the other third was assigned to the validation cohort (n = 850). A backward stepwise logistic regression model was developed to identify factors associated with in‐hospital mortality. In the derivation cohort, 956 patients were discharged alive, and 745 patients (43.8%) died during hospitalization. Among 29 candidate variables, 12 were independently associated with in‐hospital mortality and were applied as components of the risk model, including age, sex, body mass index, fulminant myocarditis aetiology, cardiac arrest in hospital, baseline veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use, mean arterial pressure, lactate, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, creatinine, and albumin levels. The comparison of predicted and observed in‐hospital mortality according to the 7th quantiles using the J‐PVAD risk score showed good calibration. The area under the curve for the J‐PVAD risk score was 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.73–0.78). In the validation cohort, the J‐PVAD risk score showed good calibration and discrimination ability.ConclusionsThe J‐PVAD risk score can be calculated using variables easily obtained in routine clinical practice. It helps the accurate stratification of mortality risk and facilitates clinical decision‐making.

Published: September 2024

AbstractPurposeThe use of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) lacks clear boundaries due to the non‐negligible toxicity accompanying its remarkable cancer‐killing effect. This study aims at validating the ability of deep learning models to develop individualized PORT recommendations for patients with OCSCC and quantifying the impact of patient characteristics on treatment selection.MethodsParticipants were categorized into two groups based on alignment between model‐recommended and actual treatment regimens, with their overall survival compared. Inverse probability treatment weighting was used to reduce bias, and a mixed‐effects multivariate linear regression illustrated how baseline characteristics influenced PORT selection.Results4990 patients with OCSCC met the inclusion criteria. Deep Survival regression with Mixture Effects (DSME) demonstrated the best performance among all the models and National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. The efficacy of PORT is enhanced as the lymph node ratio (LNR) increases. Similar enhancements in efficacy are observed in patients with advanced age, large tumors, multiple positive lymph nodes, tongue involvement, and stage IVA. Early‐stage (stage 0–II) OCSCC may safely omit PORT.ConclusionsThis is the first study to incorporate LNR as a tumor character to make personalized recommendations for patients. DSME can effectively identify potential beneficiaries of PORT and provide quantifiable survival benefits.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThis article investigates the economic governance of blockchain‐based virtual economies in the context of monetary policy. Focusing on tokenomics communication, we employ deductive and inductive approaches, applying real‐world monetary policy metrics and text mining frameworks. Our comparative analysis reveals that the tokenomics communication in blockchain‐based virtual economies primarily functions as a fundraising tool, lacking policy discussions, with divergences from real‐world economies in policy goals and numerical targets. Furthermore, our research highlights similarities between blockchain‐based virtual economies and early‐stage low‐income developing countries in communication dynamics.

AbstractIntroductionRejection sensitivity is considered a risk factor for loneliness; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. Adopting the constructs of exposure, reactivity, and exposure‐reactivity from the personality framework, this study investigated three models of rejection sensitivity, bullying victimization, and loneliness to reveal why rejection sensitivity leads to loneliness among Chinese early adolescents.MethodsUsing a longitudinal design, three‐wave data were obtained (with approximately 6‐month intervals) from 2381 Chinese early adolescents (51.2% boys at Time 1, Mage = 13.38, SD = 0.59) from 7 secondary schools. Students reported on their rejection sensitivity at Time 1, bullying victimization at Times 1 and 2, and their loneliness at Times 2 and 3. A longitudinal moderated mediation model was conducted to analyze the association between variables.ResultsPath analyses demonstrated that rejection sensitivity was associated with greater loneliness for adolescents in which association was mediated by bullying victimization. High levels of rejection sensitivity exacerbate the adverse effect of bullying victimization on loneliness. Furthermore, in line with the differential exposure‐reactivity model, the effect of rejection sensitivity on loneliness mediated by bullying victimization only existed for high rejection‐sensitive adolescents.ConclusionsThe findings emphasize the dual role of rejection sensitivity in the development process of adolescents' loneliness and highlight the importance of identifying rejection‐sensitive adolescents for intervention and prevention efforts.

ABSTRACTWhile cryotherapy is one of the traditional ways to reduce postoperative complications in maxillofacial surgery, the cooling degree is not regulated in most cases and the achieved effect is not properly controlled. Therefore, to develop optimal cooling modes, we propose to study the buccal vascular response to cooling, which has not been previously shown. To evaluate the effect of cooling, we analyzed vessel networks using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT‐A). The cheek vessels were OCT‐A monitored using cooling by an ice bag/cooling mask. We found the advantages of using a cooling mask over an ice bag consist of a statistically significant decrease in the perfused vessel density (PVD) of the papillary layer at the oral mucosa. The absence of the reticular layer vessel reaction to any type of cooling was noted. We argue for the necessity to develop optimal modes of cryotherapy, which will contribute to blood perfusion reduction and reduction of PVD recovery.

AbstractEnamel protects teeth from external irritation and its formation involves sequential differentiation of ameloblasts, a dental epithelial cell. Keratinocyte differentiation factor 1 (KDF1) is important in the development of epithelial tissues and organs. However, the specific role of KDF1 in enamel formation and corresponding regulatory mechanisms are unclear. This study demonstrated that KDF1 was persistently expressed in all stages of ameloblast differentiation, through RNAscope in situ hybridization. KDF1 expression in the mouse ameloblast cell line LS8 was demonstrated via immunofluorescence assay. KDF1 was knocked out in LS8 cells using the CRISPR/Cas‐9 system or overexpressed in LS8 cells through lentiviral infection. In vitro ameloblast differentiation induction, quantitative reverse transcription PCR, western blot analysis, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay indicated that knockout or overexpression of KDF1 in LS8 cells decreased or increased the mRNA and protein levels of several key amelogenesis markers, as well as ALP activity. Furthermore, liquid chromatography‐mass spectrometry and co‐immunoprecipitation analyses revealed that KDF1 can interact with the IKK complex, thereby inhibiting the NF‐κB pathway. Suppressing NF‐κB activity partially recovered the decreased ameloblast differentiation in LS8 cells induced by KDF1‐knockout. This study demonstrated that KDF1 can promote ameloblast differentiation of LS8 cells by inhibiting the IKK/IκB/NF‐κB axis, and is a potential target for functional enamel regeneration.

Iodine mediated, one‐pot three‐component reaction of o‐chloronitroarenes, aryl aldehydes, and elemental sulfur effectively produce benzothiazoles. Moreover, the metal‐free strategy allows the facile synthesis of diverse 2‐substituted benzothiazoles through multiple carbon–heteroatom bonds in good yields. The present protocol features a greener approach, readily accessible reagents, broad substrate scope, high product yields, and operational simplicity.

Published: September 2024

AbstractPatients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) are a high‐risk group susceptible to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection and long‐COVID syndrome appearance. However, there is limited and unclear evidence for long COVID in MHD patients. We collected the general information, symptoms, signs and laboratory indices of 366 MHD patients infected with COVID‐19 and conducted 12 months follow‐up with a series of questionnaires. As a result, 285 MHD patients had long COVID, with the most common symptoms were fatigue (84.69%) and muscle weakness (72.45%). Mobility problem (p < 0.001), anxiety/depression (p = 0.002) and breathlessness (p < 0.001) were more prevalent in long COVID patients than in non‐long COVID patients. Persistent long COVID people were more likely to report all domains problems of the EQ‐5D‐5L. Age, female, inadequate dialysis (Kt/V < 1.2), coagulation abnormalities (d‐dimer > 1 mg/L) and more comorbidities were risk factors for the development of long COVID. In addition to these factors, elevated inflammatory markers (CRP > 10 mg/L) represent an extra risk factor for the persistence of long COVID symptoms in MHD patients. And more than 80% of long COVID symptoms would resolve after 1 year in MHD patients, of which the sixth month after COVID‐19 infection is a critical turning point. In conclusion, more than 68% of MHD patients have long COVID, which has a poor impact on their health status and quality of life. These risk factors for the development and persistence of long COVID deserve the attention of clinicians.

AbstractPurposeThis study sought to quantify the tunnel widening associated with quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and compare it to bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) autografts.MethodsA retrospective review of each ACLR performed at a single academic institution from 2011 to 2021 were reviewed. Subjects with repeat ipsilateral knee magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies performed after ACLR were included. Two reviewers independently measured the maximum diameter of the femoral and tibial tunnels 1 cm from the aperture. Tunnel widening was calculated as the difference between the initial drilled diameter and the measured diameters.ResultsSeventy‐five patients (38 BTB and 37 QT autografts) were identified including 42 females and 33 males. With respect to graft type (QT vs. BTB), there was no statistically significant difference in median patient age (19.0 (16.0–31.5) years vs. 20.0 (16.8–30.0) years respectively; p = n.s.) or median time to MRI (12.0 [9.0–19.5] months vs. 13.0 [7.0–43.3] months respectively, p = n.s.). Mean tunnel diameter changes or widening was statistically significantly greater for QT autografts than BTB autografts at the tibial tunnel: (0.4 [±0.6] mm] vs. −0.4 [±1.1 mm; p < 0.001). Similarly, the mean tunnel diameter change was also significantly greater at the femoral tunnel for QT compared to BTB. (0.2 [±0.6] mm vs. −0.4 [±0.8] mm; p < 0.001) However, no patients with QT grafts demonstrated tibial or femoral tunnel diameters >12 mm.ConclusionAlthough QT autografts had a statistically significant greater amount of tunnel widening compared to BTB autografts; the mean tibial and femoral net widening of 0.4 mm and 0.2 mm, respectively, does not meet previously reported clinically significant values. Thus, the tunnel widening presented in this study is unlikely to affect clinical outcomes and should not preclude the use of either graft.Level of EvidenceLevel III (Retrospective comparative study).

AbstractRoom temperature and solution‐processible spin‐light emitting diodes (spin‐LEDs) are of practical importance since electronic spins act as information carriers for circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP‐EL) generation. The recent boost of quasi‐2D chiral hybrid perovskites (CHPs) has gained unprecedented attention because of the possible spin manipulation via innate chiral‐induced spin‐orbit coupling (CISOC) without involving cumbersome spin injection from ferromagnets. Herein, a unique method is developed using chiral ionic liquids (CILs) as antisolvents for fabricating highly reproducible and stable lead‐bromide thin films based single junction spin‐LEDs. With this, the chirality is successfully transferred into the perovskites with outstanding chiroptical properties and improved film crystallinities. More than 75% photoluminescent quantum yields (PLQY) and 13% CP‐EL have been achieved. The existence of chiral‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) is proved and a large degree of polarized spin current () of ≈80% with a long spin lifetime exceeding 1.0 ns is attained. Further their magneto‐chiroptical effects are explored through magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) and magneto‐photoluminescence (MPL). The method opens a new avenue for the development of CHPs and high‐performance single junction spin‐LEDs.
