Published: October 2024

AbstractLayered double hydroxides (LDHs), especially high‐entropy LDHs (HE‐LDHs), have gained increasing attention. However, HE‐LDHs often possess poor thermal stability, restricting their applications in thermo‐catalysis. Herein, a novel complexing nucleation method is proposed for engineering HE‐LDHs with enhanced thermal stability. This approach precisely controls the nucleation of metal ions with different solubility products, achieving homogeneous nucleation and effectively mitigating phase segregation and transformation at elevated temperatures. The prepared HE‐LDH sample demonstrated exceptional thermal stability at temperatures up to 300 °C, outperforming all previously reported LDHs. Importantly, these HE‐LDHs preserve both Lewis and Brønsted acidic sites, enabling the 100% removal of aromatic sulfides and alkaline nitrogen compounds from fuel oils in thermo‐catalytic oxidation reactions. Experimental and characterization findings reveal that the metal‐hydroxide bonds in the prepared HE‐LDHs are strengthened by associated hydroxyl groups, inducing negative thermal expansion and augmenting the presence of acidic sites, thereby ensuring structural stability and enhancing catalytic activity. This study not only proposes a strategy for engineering HE‐LDHs with remarkable thermal stability but also highlights potential applications of LDHs in thermo‐catalysis.

Abstract2D black phosphorus (BP) degrades irreversibly into phosphate compounds under ambient conditions, which limits its application in a variety of fields. In this study, by coating amorphous ferric‐cobalt oxides (CoFeO) on BP nanosheets, a multifunctional CoFeO@2D BP is successfully developed that effectively inhibited combustion and catalyzed CO oxidation to eliminate toxic gases. Strong affinity between transition‐metal cations and BP allowed the uniform growth of amorphous ferric‒cobalt oxides on the BP surface, which effectively prevented the spontaneous degradation of 2D BP. By combining CoFeO@2D BP with gelatin and kosmotropic salts, the as‐obtained nanocoatings are used for surface treatment of flammable polyurethane foam (PU). Kosmotropic ions induced strong hydrophobic interactions and bundling within the gelatin chains which significantly enhanced the mechanical performance of the PU. BP accelerates the carbonization of gelatin to inhibit the combustion of PU, and CoFe oxides, which act as true active centers to accelerate the oxidation of CO, effectively inhibiting the production of harmful gas. The release rate of CO decreases by 73% and the limiting oxygen index (LOI) increases from 17% to ≈32% during PU combustion. The developed novel 2D material opens the way for multifunctional coatings with integrated durability, flame retardancy, and high smoke suppression efficiency.

AbstractMetabolic RNA labeling‐based time‐resolved single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) has provided unprecedented tools to dissect the temporal dynamics and the complex gene regulatory networks of gene expression. However, this technology fails to reveal the spatial organization of cells in tissues, which also regulates the gene expression by intercellular communication. Herein, it is demonstrated that integrating time‐resolved scRNA‐seq with spatial transcriptomics is a new paradigm for spatiotemporal analysis. Metabolic RNA labeling‐based time‐resolved Well‐TEMP‐seq is first applied to profile the transcriptional dynamics of glioblastoma (GBM) cells and discover two potential pathways of EZH2‐mediated mesenchymal transition in GBM. With spatial transcriptomics, it is further revealed that the crosstalk between CCL2+ malignant cells and IL10+ tumor‐associated macrophages in the tumor microenvironment through an EZH2‐FOSL2‐CCL2 axis contributes to the mesenchymal transition in GBM. These discoveries show the power of integrative spatiotemporal scRNA‐seq to elucidate the complex gene regulatory mechanism and advance the understanding of cellular processes in disease.

Published: October 2024

AbstractBased on the actual mechanical characteristics of asphalt pavement, a type of multi‐layer viscoelastic contact system (MLVECS) with time‐dependent interlayer contact conditions is proposed. Then, based on the specific problem, a class of abstract evolutionary mixed variational problems is proposed, and the existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence, and boundedness of its solutions are systematically studied. Finally, based on the theoretical research results mentioned above, the relevant properties of the solution of the mixed variation formulation corresponding to MLVECS were verified. This verification provides a solid theoretical foundation for the application of this mathematical model in pavement mechanics research.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe stretching of a composite specimen taking into account temperature influence is modelled in terms of tensile stress applied at the opposite boundaries of the elastic rectangular domain. Two other boundaries are supposed to be fixed, it allows to formulate the stated problem as a boundary value problem. The analytical solution is realized with the help of the integral transform method. According to it, the problem is reduced to the one‐dimensional non‐homogeneous ordinary differential equations with corresponding boundary conditions in the transform's domain. The apparatus of Green's matrix‐function was applied to solve it. It let to the system of two singular integral equations, which was solved with the help of orthogonal polynomials method. The final formulae for displacements and stress were used to analyze the stress state of the rectangular elastic specimen. Obtained numerical results were compared with some experimental data for the stretching rectangular ceramic specimen.
Introduction to Ranaviruses: Past, Present, and Future
Authors: Chinchar V. Gregory , Gray Matthew J. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractSince the first edition of Ranaviruses: Lethal Pathogens of Ectothermic Vertebrates in 2015, an increasingly large number of studies focused on the biology and ecology of ranaviruses and other related genera within the family Iridoviridae have been conducted. Indicative of continuing interest in this virus family, a PubMed search, covering the 8 years from 2015 to 2023 and using “iridovirus, ranavirus, and megalocytivirus” as keywords, identified about as many papers published in those 8 years (916) as in the preceding 60-year period (1187). In view of this growing interest, this updated and expanded edition will focus primarily on findings reported since the first edition.

Published: October 2024

AbstractRanaviruses are globally distributed pathogens in amphibian, fish, and reptile communities that appear to be emerging. Cases of ranavirus infection or disease have been confirmed in at least 177 amphibian species (25 families), 49 fish species (25 families), and 37 reptile species (17 families). Transmission of individual strains between animal classes has been documented. While ranaviruses are frequently associated with mass die-offs, host susceptibility differs among species, with some species harboring subclinical infections and likely serving as reservoirs for the virus and other highly susceptible species amplifying the virus. Currently, there are seven recognized species of ranavirus, with stark differences in pathogenicity between strains and hosts. Several strains among these species have been named, and changes in taxonomy in this genus can lead to some confusion. Frog virus 3 is the best studied species of the genus Ranavirus and appears to be the most globally distributed species, with viruses of this species infecting ectothermic vertebrates across three vertebrate classes. International commerce involving infected ectothermic vertebrates undoubtedly has contributed to the global distribution, diversity, and emergence of ranaviruses. Herein, we describe the global distribution of ranaviruses in amphibians, fish, and reptiles, host range of the different Ranavirus species, the implications of interclass transmission, and the impact of trade on ranavirus distribution. The Global Ranavirus Reporting System (GRRS), which documents global detections of ranaviruses, is also presented.
Impact of Architecture(s)
Authors: Čeko Andrea , Crapolicchio Martina , Gugliotta Rossella 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThe word impact in research highlights the evidence, the results or consequences of a study on some specific contextual factors. There are many other definitions of impact, such as the one used by the University of Scotland to highlight its contribution to the areas of “Innovation, Architecture and Design”. The report presents the impact as benefits to people as architecture and design stakeholders. On the other hand, the AIA (The American Institute of Architects) asserts that research related to the built environment is underfunded, considering its impact on the economy, human condition, and society at large.
Bridging Methods and Disciplines: An Architectural Pedagogy for Rural Areas Community
Authors: Sartorio Stefano 
Published: October 2024

AbstractArchitectural pedagogy in rural areas necessitates a thoughtful consideration of both methodological and disciplinary approaches within the educational process. Is it enough to define the way of teaching Architecture as a method or as a discipline? In a constantly changing world, facing multiple fragile conditions (e.g., environmental crisis, social disparities, demographic changes), the way of teaching, and learning, architecture shall consider over-coming this narrow boundary. An effective balance between method and discipline is needed, where architectural pedagogy should be responsive to the variations of fragile territories and communities. This capability enables students and rural communities involved to develop more sensitivity to context, recognizing which design solutions are best tailored to their realities. Inner areas, for instance, which suffer from constant depopulation and lack of connection, though rich in historical/natural heritage, are entangled in a complex multiplicity of design scenarios. Especially in Italy, whose territory is 60% made of inner areas [1], this condition should be approached by universities for the architects of the future. Moreover, architectural pedagogy in rural areas should carefully consider the interplay between method and discipline as a participatory; a community-oriented method allows the co-creation of contextually relevant solutions within the educational process of teaching architecture. The contribution proposes a view on this challenge, in which architectural education has a profound role in shaping a desirable future, starting from the ongoing experiences developed in some inner areas case studies, such as the one of Vione (Valle Camonica, Lombardy) and of Morino (Valle Roveto, Abruzzo).
Walking-dilaton hybrid inflation with B − L Higgs embedded in dynamical scalegenesis
Authors: Liu Jie , Zhang He-Xu , Matsuzaki Shinya , Ishida Hiroyuki 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We propose a hybrid inflationary scenario based on eight-flavor hidden QCD with the hidden colored fermions being in part gauged under U(1)B−L. This hidden QCD is almost scale-invariant, so-called walking, and predicts the light scalar meson (the walking dilaton) associated with the spontaneous scale breaking, which develops the Coleman-Weinberg (CW) type potential as the consequence of the nonperturbative scale anomaly, hence plays the role of an inflaton of the small-field inflation. The U(1)B−L Higgs is coupled to the walking dilaton inflaton, which is dynamically induced from the so-called bosonic seesaw mechanism. We explore the hybrid inflation system involving the walking dilaton inflaton and the U(1)B−L Higgs as a waterfall field. We find that observed inflation parameters tightly constrain the U(1)B−L breaking scale as well as the walking dynamical scale to be ~ 109 GeV and ~ 1014 GeV, respectively, so as to make the waterfall mechanism worked. The lightest walking pion mass is then predicted to be around 500 GeV. Phenomenological perspectives including embedding of the dynamical electroweak scalegenesis and possible impacts on the thermal leptogenesis are also addressed.
G2 mirrors from Calabi-Yau mirrors
Authors: Braun Andreas P. , Dadhley Richie 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We study the worldsheet CFTs of type II strings on compact G2 orbifolds obtained as quotients of a product of a Calabi-Yau threefold and a circle. For such models, we argue that the Calabi-Yau mirror map implies a mirror map for the associated G2 varieties by examining how anti-holomorphic involutions behave under Calabi-Yau mirror symmetry. The mirror geometries identified by the worldsheet CFT are consistent with earlier proposals for twisted connected sum G2 manifolds.
Surface energy and elementary excitations of the XYZ spin chain with integrable open boundary fields
Authors: Xin Zhirong , Cao Junpeng , Yang Wen-Li , Wang Yupeng 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
We study the thermodynamic limit of the anisotropic XYZ spin chain with non-diagonal integrable open boundary conditions. Although the U(1)-symmetry is broken, by using the new parametrization scheme, we exactly obtain the surface energy and the excitation energy of the system, which has solved the difficulty in the inhomogeneous T − Q relation. With the boundary parameters in the regions making the Hamiltonian Hermitian, we have obtained the distribution patterns of the zeros of the eigenvalue of the transfer matrix for the ground state and the excited ones. We find that the surface and excitation energies depend on the parities of sites number N, due to the long-range Neel order in the bulk. The easy-axis and thermodynamic limit for all the regions of boundary parameters are studied. We also obtain the physical quantities in the thermodynamic limit of boundary XXZ model by taking the trigonometric limit.

Zusammenfassung
Einleitung
Aktuell existieren nur wenige Daten über die Beeinträchtigung der stationären dermatochirurgischen Versorgung in deutschen Hautkliniken durch die COVID-19-Pandemie.

Methoden
Es erfolgte eine retrospektive Auswertung aller dermatochirurgischen Fälle, die in den Jahren 2019, 2020 und 2021 in 9 deutschen Hautkliniken in 4 Bundesländern stationär behandelt wurden. Die Diagnosen wurden anhand der ICD-10-Codes erfasst. Zusätzlich wurden demografische Daten wie Alter und Geschlecht sowie die stationäre Verweildauer ausgewertet.

Ergebnisse
In den Jahren 2019, 2020 und 2021 wurden jeweils 10.739, 9185 und 9828 dermatochirurgische Patienten stationär behandelt. Somit betrug die Reduktion der stationären dermatochirurgischen Fälle im Jahr 2020 14,5 % und im Jahr 2021 8,5 % im Vergleich zum Jahr 2019. Die stationäre operative Versorgung der Melanome ging im Jahr 2020 um 10,1 % der Fälle zurück. Im Jahr 2021 betrug dieser Rückgang nur noch 1,4 % im Vergleich zum Jahr 2019. Die stationäre operative Versorgung benigner Veränderungen wie Melanozytennävi oder Viruswarzen zeigte in beiden Pandemiejahren eine starke Regression.

Diskussion
Unsere Daten erfassen erstmalig und repräsentativ die Entwicklung der stationären Versorgung des gesamten dermatochirurgischen Erkrankungsspektrums im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie in Deutschland. Nach dem initial starken Rückgang der stationären dermatochirurgischen Fälle im Jahr 2020 zeigte sich im Jahr 2021 eine geringere Differenz zu 2019. Diese Tendenz kann als Hinweis gedeutet werden, dass für eine stationäre dermatochirurgische Versorgung weiterhin ein starker Bedarf besteht, der bis dato ambulant nicht aufgefangen werden kann.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe Australian redclaw crayfish, Cherax quadricarinatus, has been introduced globally for aquacultural purposes, and invasive wild populations have established in several countries. An increase in population growth, has caused several low-income and rural communities to utilise it as an inexpensive protein source. Despite this introduction, limited research has been done on element accumulation, and the risks for human consumption. This study focused on elemental accumulation in C. quadricarinatus from two rivers in the Phongolo River Floodplain (PRF), South Africa. The non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic human health risks associated with its consumption were calculated. The accumulation order in the PRF was Zn > Cu > Pb > Cr > As > Ni > Hg > Cd. Elevated concentrations of As and Hg, as well as As, Cr, and Ni posed non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks, respectively. These results highlight that wild populations of C. quadricarinatus not only pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems but also potentially cause human health risks when consumed.

Published: October 2024

AbstractPCV2 is a significant epidemic agricultural pathogen that causes a variety of swine diseases. PCV2 infections have significant economic impact on the swine industry, making effective strategies for rapid detection of PCV2 in pigs essential. Herein, we report on the synthesis of the so-called nano-MIPs which can be utilized for molecular recognition of PCV2. The morphology and structure of nano-MIPs were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Nano-MIPs are spherical with sizes around 120–150 nm. Binding experiments demonstrate that the fluorescence intensity of PCV2 samples decreases proportionally to increasing the concentration of nano-MIPs due to quenching, while non-imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nano-NIPs) do not affect the signal. The Stern–Volmer constant of nano-MIPs binding to PCV2 was 1.3 × 10−3 mL/µg, whereas nano-NIPs led to 7 × 10−5 mL/µg, i.e., 1.8 orders of magnitude lower. The detection limit for binding MIP particles to PCV2 by fluorescence measurements is 47 µg/mL. This affinity test allows for designing both direct and competitive quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) assays for PCV2 leading to QCM measurements. The QCM results show nano-MIPs binding to PCV2 immobilized on the sensor surface with appreciable reproducibility. QCM sensor characteristics reveal signal saturation above around 200 µg/mL at a response of − 354 Hz and an LOD of approximately 35 µg/mL. Nano-MIPs also show selectivity factors of 2–5 for CSFV and PRRSV probably because the three viruses have similar diameters around 50 nm.

Abstract

Introduction
Hybrid [18F]FDG PET imaging is currently the method of choice for a wide variety of infectious and inflammatory disorders and was recently adopted in several clinical guidelines. A large amount of evidence-based articles, guidelines and appropriate use criteria have been published since the first version of this guideline in 2013.

Purpose
To provide updated evidence-based information to assist physicians in recommending, performing and interpreting hybrid [18F]FDG PET examinations for infectious and inflammatory disorders in the adult population.

Methods
A systematic literature search of evidence-based articles using whole-body [18F]FDG hybrid imaging on the indications covered within this guideline was performed. All systematic reviews and meta-analyses published within the last 10 years until January 2023 were identified in PubMed/Medline or Cochrane. For each indication covered in this manuscript, diagnostic performance was provided based on meta-analyses or systematic reviews. If not available, results from prospective or retrospective studies were considered based on predefined selection criteria.

Results and conclusions
Hybrid [18F]FDG PET is extremely useful in the work-up and management of adults with infectious and inflammatory diseases, as supported by extensive and rapidly growing evidence-based literature and adoption in clinical guidelines. Practical recommendations are provided describing evidence-based indications as well as interpretation criteria and pitfalls. Monitoring treatment response is the most challenging but insufficiently studied potential application in infection and inflammation imaging.
