In Situ Activating Ubiquitous Rust towards Low‐Cost, Efficient, Free‐Standing, and Recoverable Oxygen Evolution Electrodes
Authors: Zhong Haixia , Wang Jun , Meng Fanlu , Zhang Xinbo 
Published: July 2016

AbstractDeveloping effective ways to recycle rusted stainless steel and to promote the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), associated with water splitting and metal–air batteries, is important for a resource‐sustainable and environment‐friendly society. Herein, we propose a strategy to enable rusted stainless steel plate to be used as an abundant and low‐cost OER catalyst, wherein a hydrothermal combined in situ electrochemical oxidation–reduction cycle (EORC) method is developed to mimic and expedite the corrosion process, and thus activate stainless steel into free‐standing OER electrodes. Benefiting from the plentiful electrolyte‐accessible Fe/(Ni) oxyhydroxides, high conductivity and mechanical stability, this electrode exhibits remarkable OER performances including low overpotential, fast kinetics, and long‐term durability. The slight degradation in current after long‐term use can be repaired immediately in situ by an EORC.
Cobalt‐Catalyzed C−H Thiolation through Dehydrogenative Cross‐Coupling
Authors: Gensch Tobias , Klauck Felix J. R. , Glorius Frank 
Published: July 2016

AbstractA cobalt‐catalyzed dehydrogenative cross‐coupling of thiols and indoles is reported. Using a cooperative reaction system, a new mode of action for the cobalt‐catalyzed C−heteroatom bond formation was found. The directed C−H activation catalysis overrides an undirected thiolation of indole in the 3‐position that occurs in the absence of cobalt. Mechanistic studies indicate a sequence of C−H activation, thiolate transfer, and reductive elimination.

Published: July 2016

AbstractA combination of 1H, 6Li, 13C, and 15N NMR spectroscopies and density functional theory computations explores the formation of mixed aggregates by a dilithium salt of a C2‐symmetric chiral tetraamine (Koga's base). Lithium halides, acetylides, alkoxides, and monoalkylamides form isostructural trilithiated mixed aggregates with few exceptions. 6Li–13C and 6Li–15N couplings reveal heretofore undetected transannular contacts (laddering) with lithium acetylides and lithium monoalkylamides. Marked temperature‐dependent 15N chemical shifts seem to be associated with this laddering. Computational studies shed light on the general structures of the aggregates, their penchant for laddering, and the stereochemical consequences of aggregation.
Crystallinity Modulation of Layered Carbon Nitride for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activities

Published: July 2016

AbstractAs an emerging metal‐free semiconductor, covalently bonded carbon nitride (CN) has attracted much attention in photocatalysis. However, drawbacks such as a high recombination rate of excited electrons and holes hinder its potential applications. Tailoring the crystallinity of semiconductors is an important way to suppress unwanted charge recombination, but has rarely been applied to CN so far. Herein, a simple method to synthesize CN of high crystallinity by protonation of specific intermediate species during conventional polymerization is reported. Interestingly, the as‐obtained CN exhibited improved photocatalytic activities of up to seven times those of the conventional bulk CN. This approach, with only a slight change to the conventional method, provides a facile way to effectively regulate the crystallinity of bulk CN to improve its photocatalytic activities and sheds light on large‐scale industrial applications of CN with high efficiency for sustainable energy.
Characteristics of Lymphoproliferative Disorders with More Than One Aberrant Cell Population as Detected by 10‐Color Flow Cytometry

Published: July 2016

BackgroundWe have evaluated the frequency of lymphoproliferative disorders with more than one aberrant population of monotypic B‐cells detected during routine hematopathological diagnostics.Materials and Methods2600 samples peripheral (blood, bone marrow, fine‐needle aspirate, lymph node, and pleural fluid cell suspensions) were analyzed using a 10‐color B‐cell panel and a 10‐color T‐cell panel. A 10‐color plasma cell/lymphoplasmacytic panel was performed when appropriate.Results790/2600 samples (30%) showed at least one aberrant B‐cell population and 27(1%) showed an aberrant T‐cell population. 41/790 samples (5.1%) showed two aberrant B‐cell populations. Thirteen patients had two B‐cell populations with different surface immunoglobulin restriction (one kappa+ and one lambda+), most with B‐cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia‐related phenotype. Five cases showed two B‐cell populations with the same light chain restriction but distinctly different immunophenotypes. In 23 cases, two populations had the same light chain restriction and differed by expression of one or 2 markers, thus, a possibility of intraclonal differentiation could not be excluded. Cases with possible intraclonal differentiation had a significantly higher proportion of aberrant B‐cells than those with two coexisting aberrant B‐cell populations (49.9% vs. 27.7%, p = 0.008). In only one sample one population of clonal B‐cell and one clonal T‐cell population with large granular lymphocyte related phenotype were found.ConclusionUsing our panels 5.1% of cases with lymphoproliferative disorder‐associated aberrant findings show two aberrant (clonal) lymphoid and/or plasma cell populations. © 2016 International Clinical Cytometry Society
Associations between meal patterns, binge eating, and weight for Latinas

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTEstablishing a regular pattern of eating is a core element of treatment for binge eating, yet no research to date has examined meal patterns of Latina women.ObjectiveCompare eating patterns of Latinas who binge eat and those who do not, and examine associations between meal patterns and binge episodes, associated distress and concerns, and body mass index (BMI).MethodOne‐hundred fifty‐five Latinas [65 Binge Eating Disorder (BED), 22 Bulimia Nervosa (BN), 68 with no eating disorder] were assessed with the Eating Disorder Examination.ResultsThere were no significant differences in eating patterns between groups. Breakfast was the least and dinner the most consumed meal. For the BED group: greater frequency of lunch consumption was associated with higher BMI while more frequent evening snacking was associated with lower BMI and with less weight importance; more frequent breakfast consumption, mid‐morning snack consumption and total meals were associated with greater distress regarding binge eating. For the BN group, evening snack frequency was associated with less dietary restriction and more weight and shape concern; total snack frequency was associated with more weight concern. Regular meal eaters reported more episodes of binge eating than those who did not eat meals regularly.DiscussionAssociations with meal patterns differed by eating disorder diagnosis. Study findings mostly are not consistent with results from prior research on primarily White women. CBT treatments may need to be tailored to address the association between binge eating and regular meal consumption for Latinas. Culturally, appropriate modifications that address traditional eating patterns should be considered. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Int J Eat Disord 2017; 50:32–39)
Factors associated with self‐identification of an eating disorder history among Latinas meeting criteria for past or current eating disorders

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTObjectiveThis paper compared Latinas who self‐identified as having had an eating disorder (ED) with those who did not (despite both groups meeting criteria for an ED history) on ED pathology and mental health stigma.MethodSeventy‐seven Latinas completed an online survey.ResultsAll 77 participants met criteria for lifetime EDs, and 92% met current criteria for an ED; however, 47% did not report having an ED history vs. 53% did report an ED history. There was no difference on binge eating frequency. Those who endorsed an ED history engaged in more compensatory behaviors, had higher EAT‐26 scores, and were less fearful of stigmatization due to seeking mental health treatment. Those reporting an ED history were more likely to have met criteria for anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa, generally more recognizable EDs than binge eating disorder and other specified feeding or eating disorders, than those who did not report an ED history.DiscussionLatinas with certain patterns of eating pathology and those with less fear of being stigmatized due to seeking mental health treatment were more likely to endorse an ED history, which has implications for treatment seeking. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Regulating Automakers for Climate Change: US Reforms in Global Context
Authors: Richards Mark J. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractUS President Barack Obama's first major domestic climate policy achievement was the enactment of a cluster of environmental policies regarding automotive firms, in particular significant increases in fuel economy standards. Considering automakers' long history of opposition to environmental regulations in the US, Obama's achievement poses an intriguing research puzzle: how was the US able to enact environmental policy regarding the automotive industry? This article considers conventional explanations of policy adoption but also examines whether globalization, including compliance with global regulations, as well as global competition that left US manufacturers in a weakened economic and political state, influenced firms to acquiesce to environmental regulation. This article finds that globalization concerns motivated nearly all firms to acquiesce to the new policies. Policy enactment was facilitated by conditions within the industry, including global competition and production, technological developments, compliance with carbon and fuel economy regulations across the globe, and the financial and political weakness of domestic firms. Conventional explanations also help to explain policy enactment. Where executive authority existed, President Obama enacted policy via the executive branch rather than working with Congress. Policies created by the passage of legislation in Congress were shaped by presidential leadership, partisan control and outside events. Finally, policymakers built coalitions of support among domestic automakers, labor, environmental and consumer groups, and the public. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
From marginal to mainstream: The role of perceived social norms in the rise of a far‐right movement
Authors: Portelinha Isabelle , Elcheroth Guy 
Published: July 2016

AbstractThe present research intends to shed light on the processes enabling political minorities to transition into normatively acceptable groups, by investigating how a previously marginalised far‐right movement (the French National Front) is progressively becoming mainstream. Drawing on the social representations approach, we argue that perceived social norms play a pivotal role in this process. Using a longitudinal and experimental design, the study (N = 233) was implemented in the ecological context of the 2012 French presidential election at a Parisian university campus, a traditional anti‐far‐right bastion. We tested whether the electoral campaign altered the perceptions of social norms, whether the perceived social norms were easily malleable in this specific context and, most important, whether they influenced people's willingness to speak out in public against the far‐right movement. The findings support affirmative answers to all three questions. We conclude that, in periods of collective uncertainty, changing perceptions of social norms might play an important role in the weakening of public opposition to far‐right movements. This, in turn, helps to explain the recent transition to mainstream recognition of a number of previously marginalised political movements in Europe and around the globe.
Uncertainty and sensitivity in a bank stability model: implications for estimating phosphorus loading
Authors: Lammers Roderick W. , Bledsoe Brian P. , Langendoen Eddy J. 
Published: July 2016

AbstractEutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is one of the most pressing water quality concerns in the United States and around the world. Bank erosion has been largely overlooked as a source of nutrient loading, despite field studies demonstrating that this source can account for the majority of the total phosphorus load in a watershed. Substantial effort has been made to develop mechanistic models to predict bank erosion and instability in stream systems; however, these models do not account for inherent natural variability in input values. To quantify the impacts of this omission, uncertainty and sensitivity analyses were performed on the Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM), a mechanistic model developed by the US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service (USDA‐ARS) that simulates both mass wasting and fluvial erosion of streambanks. Generally, bank height, soil cohesion, and plant species were found to be most influential in determining stability of clay (cohesive) banks. In addition to these three inputs, groundwater elevation, stream stage, and bank angle were also identified as important in sand (non‐cohesive) banks. Slope and bank height are the dominant variables in fluvial erosion modeling, while erodibility and critical shear stress had low sensitivity indices; however, these indices do not reflect the importance of critical shear stress in determining the timing of erosion events. These results identify important variables that should be the focus of data collection efforts while also indicating which less influential variables may be set to assumed values. In addition, a probabilistic Monte‐Carlo modeling approach was applied to data from a watershed‐scale sediment and phosphorus loading study on the Missisquoi River, Vermont to quantify uncertainty associated with these published results. While our estimates aligned well with previous deterministic modeling results, the uncertainty associated with these predictions suggests that they should be considered order of magnitude estimates only.

Published: July 2016

AbstractPanic disorder (PD) patients show aberrant neural responses to threatening stimuli in an extended fear network, but results are only partially comparable, and studies implementing disorder‐related visual scenes are lacking as stimuli. The neural responses and functional connectivity to a newly developed set of disorder‐related, ecologically valid scenes as compared with matched neutral visual scenes, using event‐related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in 26 PD patients and 26 healthy controls (HC) were investigated. PD patients versus HC showed hyperactivation in an extended fear network comprising brainstem, insula, thalamus, anterior, and mid‐cingulate cortex and (dorso‐)medial prefrontal cortex for disorder‐related versus neutral scenes. Amygdala differences between groups failed significance. Subjective levels of anxiety significantly correlated with brainstem activation in PD patients. Analysis of functional connectivity by means of beta series correlation revealed no emotion‐specific alterations in connectivity in PD patients versus HC. The results suggest that subjective anxiety evoked by external stimuli is directly related to altered activation in the homeostatic alarm system in PD. With novel disorder‐related stimuli, the study sheds new light on the neural underpinnings of pathological threat processing in PD. Hum Brain Mapp 37:4439–4453, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2016

BackgroundTo explore the relationship of the serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC‐Ag) with the pathologic characteristics, occurrence, and prognosis of cervical squamous carcinoma.MethodsThe enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to determine the serum SCC‐Ag levels for the patients, which included 424 pretreatment patients and 500 cases after treatment.Results(a) Pretreatment SCC‐Ag levels of patients were related to clinical stages, lymphatic metastasis, and myometrial invasion, (b) within a median follow‐up of 54 months, 180 recurrences (36%) and 102 disease‐associated deaths (20.4%) were recorded, 161 recurrent patients showed elevated SCC‐Ag levels (161/180, 89.4%), and 60 of them (37.3%) had a significant increase in SCC‐Ag serum levels before clinical manifestation of relapse. The lead time ranged between 1 and 5 months (median: 2.3 months). The total survival rates were 23.4% and 17.8% for 3‐year and 5‐year period, respectively, and (c) clinical stages, the site of recurrence, and SCC‐Ag levels after treatment were closely related with recurrent patients' survival time (P < 0.01~<0.005). Multivariate analysis indicated that the clinical stages and SCC‐Ag levels of recurrent patients were independent prognostic factors (P < 0.05˜0.01).ConclusionSerum SCC‐Ag level was an important predictor for the cervical squamous carcinoma recurrence and prognosis.

Published: July 2016

AbstractBACKGROUNDAs event‐specific sequence information for most unauthorised genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is currently still unavailable, detecting unauthorised GMOs remains challenging. Here, we used insect‐resistant rice TT51‐1 as an example to develop a novel approach via detecting GMOs by RNA‐seq (sequencing) and PCR. RNA‐seq of TT51‐1 generated 4.8 million (M) 21‐nt cDNA tags. Alignment to the Oryza sativa subsp. japonica reference genome revealed 24 098 unmapped tags. Foreign tags from the nopaline synthetic enzyme gene (NOS) terminator and insect‐resistant genes were then identified by searching against the NCBI VecScreen and NT databases.RESULTSTo further isolate foreign DNA sequences, putative NOS terminator and insect‐resistant gene tags were combined and used directly as primer pairs for long‐range PCR, producing a 5016‐bp fragment. The inserted DNA sequence of TT51‐1 has been submitted to a database, and thus, similarity analysis using the database could identify a test sample.CONCLUSIONThe novel approach has a great potential for application to the detection and identification of unauthorised GMOs in food and feed products. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Acyl‐coenzyme A dehydrogenase 9 (ACAD9) has a role in mitochondrial complex I (CI) assembly. Only a few patients who carry ACAD9 mutations have been reported. They mainly present with severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, although a minority have only mild isolated myopathy. Although the secondary factors influencing disease severity have not been elucidated, conservation of CI assembly and residual enzymatic activity have been suggested as explanations for the mild phenotypes associated with ACAD9 mutations. Methods: We report a novel homozygous ACAD9 mutation (c.1240C>T; p.Arg414Cys) in a 34‐year‐old woman who presented with non‐progressive myopathy. Results: We show that this ACAD9 mutation led to a severe defect in CI assembly in the patient's muscle. Furthermore, the impact of CI deficiency is confirmed by accumulation of mitochondrial DNA deletions. Conclusion: Our data suggest that a major defect of CI assembly is not responsible for a severe phenotype. Muscle Nerve 55: 919–922, 2017

Published: July 2016

AbstractIn the framework of the IEA SHC Task 46 “Solar Resource Assessment and Forecasting” we compare solar global horizontal irradiance forecasts based on numerical weather predictions for a variety of different models. These include direct model output of several numerical weather prediction models, a rapid update cycle model assimilating satellite derived cloud products as well as radar data, the multi model ensemble prediction system GLAMEPS, and two MOS systems. In order to allow for a transparent and comparable analysis of the different methods we have set up a joint, consistent framework of evaluation. As a basis for the comparisons we have compiled a common data set of hourly measured solar irradiance values for Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. Local and regional forecasts are analyzed with respect to different properties. In particular we show that spatial and temporal averaging effects have a strong impact on the root mean square error when comparing solar irradiance forecasts of numerical weather prediction models with different output resolutions. Furthermore, we investigate a new approach to evaluate the models' ability to represent and forecast solar irradiance and cloud variability. The benefit of high resolution mesoscale models in this respect is demonstrated. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: July 2016

AbstractSuperconducting iron chalcogenide FeSe has the simplest crystal structure among all the Fe‐based superconductors. Unlike other iron pnictides, FeSe exhibits no long‐range magnetic order accompanying the tetragonal‐to‐orthorhombic structural distortion, which raises the fundamental question about the role of magnetism and its associated spin fluctuations in mediating both nematicity and superconductivity. The extreme sensitivity of FeSe to external pressure suggests that chemical pressure, induced by substitution of Se by the smaller ion S, could also a be good tuning parameter to further study the coupling between superconductivity and nematicity and to obtain information on both the Fermi‐surface changes and the symmetry of the superconducting state. Here, we study the thermodynamic properties of Fe() for three compositions, , 0.08, and 0.15, using heat‐capacity and thermal‐expansion measurements. With increasing S content, we observe a significant reduction of the tetragonal‐to‐orthorhombic transition temperature . However, this suppression of is counterintuitively accompanied by an enhancement of the orthorhombic distortion below , which clearly indicates that superconductivity favors the nematic state. In parallel, the superconducting transition temperature is sizeably enhanced, whereas the increase of the Sommerfeld coefficient is quite moderate. In the limit, an unusually large residual density of states is found for indicative of significant substitution‐induced disorder. We discuss these observations in the context of “” superconducting‐state symmetry.
