ABSTRACTThe incidence angle effect causes a decrease in the photogenerated current of PV modules when they are subject to incident irradiance at wide angles: Its relevance should be quantified for accurate energy yield purposes and has recently gained significance due to the rising interest in novel integrated PV applications, where vertical or nonoptimal tilt are favored (e.g., in urban structures, in agrivoltaics, and vehicles). The international standard IEC 61853‐2 presents both outdoor and indoor measurement methods: However, the indoor measurement method for commercial‐size modules is often impractical due to irradiance uniformity limitations on the volume spanned by the tested module upon rotation in most of the solar simulators available on the market. In recent years, new solutions have been proposed to overcome these limitations and allow wider adoption of this standard: However, method validations and interlaboratory comparisons have been conducted so far only on small‐area samples, and a real validation on commercial‐size modules is still missing. In this work, we aim at filling this gap, reporting the results of an interlaboratory comparison conducted within the international project team that is currently working at the new edition of IEC 61853‐2. The results show a remarkable agreement between different measurement methods, thus validating more options for the evaluation of this important effect.

Published: September 2024

AbstractAbeliophyllum distichum (Oleaceae), endemic to the Korean Peninsula and the sole member of its genus and species, possesses high scarcity value, escalating its importance under the Nagoya Protocol. Despite its significance, their metabolites and activities of A. distichum flowers remain unexplored. This study employs an integrated metabolomic approach utilizing NMR, LC/MS, GC/MS, and FTIR techniques to comprehensively analyze the metabolite profile of A. distichum flowers. By combining these methods, we identified 35 metabolites, 43 secondary metabolites, and 108 hydrophobic primary metabolites. Notably, distinct concentration patterns of these compounds were observed across five variants, classified based on morphological characteristics. Correlation analyses of primary and secondary metabolites unveiled varietal metabolic flux, providing insights into A. distichum flower metabolism. Additionally, the reconstruction of metabolic pathways based on dissimilarities in morphological traits elucidates variant‐specific metabolic signatures. These findings not only enhance our understanding of chemical differences between varieties but also underscore the importance of considering varietal differences in future research and conservation efforts.

ABSTRACTObjectiveWe sought to examine the associations between a social needs measure and physical, and mental health among cancer survivors in the United States.MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional analysis using the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey involving 16,930 eligible cancer survivors. The primary outcomes of interest were self‐reported physical and mental health in the past 30 days. A social needs measure was our primary exposure of interest. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the associations of interest.ResultsOverall, 56% and 73% survivors with several days of poor physical and mental health, respectively, reported having two or more social needs. In multivariate analysis, those having at least one social need were more likely to report several days of poor physical (one need: OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.31–2.00, two or more needs: OR, 3.52; 95% CI, 2.84–4.35) and mental health (one need: OR, 3.07; 95% CI, 2.07–4.57, two or more needs: OR, 9.69; 95% CI, 6.83–13.74). Among survivors with two or more social needs, having exercised in the past 30 days were 41% and 59% less likely to experience poor physical and mental health, respectively (p‐value < 0.05). However, having at least one chronic disease was associated with several days of poor physical/mental health among those with two or more needs (p‐value < 0.05).ConclusionHaving social needs was associated with self‐reporting of several days of poor physical and mental health among cancer survivors. Integrated care should include mental/physical health management addressing cancer survivors' various social needs.
Unveiling Stage Zero Conditions in the New Forest National Park: A UAV‐Based Structure‐From‐Motion Photogrammetry and LiDAR Approach for Reconstructing an Anastomosing Wet Woodland at the Avon Water
Authors: Fleming Edward 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTIn recent years, there have been significant technological advances in uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) and in particular the use of lightweight consumer‐grade ‘drones’. This combined with the development of structure‐from‐motion (SfM) technology has provided river restoration practitioners with a new tool that can be used to give an affordable, repeatable and objective assessment of river restoration projects. In this study, a combined SfM photogrammetry and LiDAR approach is utilised on a section of the Avon water, a small watercourse in the New Forest National Park. Victorian‐era straightening and channelisation has significantly altered the ecological and morphological state of the river system, but recent river restoration projects aim to reverse these effects. Whilst historic maps may be used as a guide to reveal the former alignment, changes in river planform occurred much earlier and these maps may not represent the natural course of the river. High‐resolution orthophotos and 3D photogrammetric models of the site are created that reveal a palaeolandscape consisting of a mosaic of anabranching channels. These are interpreted to represent a former anastomosing wet woodland and ‘Stage Zero’ of the river system. It is inferred that early human habitation and associated land clearance altered hydrological and hydrogeological conditions, reducing floodplain connectivity and promoting single‐threaded planform configurations. This was then followed by the most recent Victorian‐era straightening. The palaeolandscape revealed by the study provides a guide for future Stage Zero river restoration in the New Forest and elsewhere, demonstrating an application of low cost, UAV‐derived photogrammetry in river restoration research.

Published: September 2024

AbstractRepairing infected bone defects is hindered by the presence of stubborn bacterial infections and inadequate osteogenic activity. The incorporation of harmful antibiotics not only fosters the emergence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria, but also diminishes the osteogenic properties of scaffold materials. In addition, it is essential to continuously monitor the degradation kinetics of scaffold materials at bone defect sites, yet the majority of bone repair materials lack imaging capability. To address these issues, this study reports for the first time the development of a single nanomaterial with triple functionality: efficient sonodynamic antibacterial activity, accelerated bone defect repair capability, and NIR imaging ability for visualized therapy of infected bone defects. Through rationally regulating the surface functional groups, the obtained multifunctional NIR carbon dots (NIR‐CD) exhibit p–n junction‐enhanced sonodynamic activity, narrow bandgap‐facilitated NIR imaging capability, and negative charge‐augmented osteogenic activity. The validation of NIR‐CDs antibacterial and osteogenic activities in vivo is conducted by constructing 3D injectable hydrogels encapsulated by NIR‐CDs (NIR‐CD/GelMA). The implantation of multifunctional NIR‐CD/GelMA hydrogel scaffolds in a model of MRSA‐infected craniotomy defects results in almost complete restoration of the infected bone defects after 60 days. These findings will provide traceable, renewable, repairable and antibacterial candidate biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Published: September 2024

AbstractEnzyme‐based amperometric biosensors have become popular for healthcare applications. However, they have been under constant pressure for technological innovation to improve their sensitivity and usability. An ideal biosensor has high sensitivity and calibration‐free characteristics. This study aims to report enzyme‐based glucose and lactate sensors that utilize a proposed “time‐derivative of potential (dOCP/dt)” method, with a further aim being to prove theoretically and experimentally that dOCP/dt values are proportional to substrate concentration. High sensitivity is obtained regardless of the electrode size because the electrode potential is independent of the electrode area in the biosensor. Importantly, because the substrate diffusion determines the enzyme reaction rate on the sensors, the dOCP/dt biosensors can essentially eliminate external influences such as temperature and pH. The result is the successful realization of a biosensor that is calibration‐free, making it a much more practical option.

ABSTRACTAn enhanced quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) purification method utilizing multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been developed and coupled with liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry for the determination of eight quinolone drug residues in quail eggs. The sample was extracted using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid‐McIlvaine buffer (pH = 4.0) and 2% formic acid in acetonitrile, followed by salting out with MgSO4, and purification with primary secondary amine (PSA), MWCNT, and Octadecylsilane (C18). The method demonstrated linear relationships for the target compounds within the range of 2–100 µg/L with correlation coefficients (r) exceeding 0.99. The limits of detection and quantification were determined to be 0.4 and 0.8 µg/kg, respectively. Validation through a three‐level spiking test (low, medium, and high) in quail eggs resulted in an average recovery rate ranging from 86.8% to 113.7%, with relative standard deviations between 2.6% and 10.2% (n = 6). This method offers rapid operation, excellent purification efficiency, and high sensitivity, making it suitable for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of quinolone drug residues in eggs. Application of this method to a batch of 20 quail eggs revealed the presence of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin, suggesting a potential risk of non‐compliant quinolones use in quail egg production.
Empowering Chemical AI Through Systems Chemistry
Authors: Gentili Pier Luigi , Stano Pasquale 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThis work presents some ambitious perspectives on how Systems Chemistry can contribute to developing the quite new research line of Chemical Artificial Intelligence (CAI). CAI refers to the efforts of devising liquid chemical systems mimicking some performances of biological and human intelligence, which ultimately emerge from wetware. The CAI systems implemented so far assist humans in making decisions. However, such CAI systems lack autonomy and cannot substitute humans. The development of autonomous chemical systems will allow the colonization of the molecular world with remarkable repercussions on human well‐being. As a beneficial side effect, this research line will help establish a deeper comprehension of the mesmerizing phenomenon of the origin of life on Earth and how cognitive capabilities emerge at a basic physico‐chemical level.
The strategic allocation theory of vigilance
Authors: Murray Samuel , Amaya Santiago 
Published: September 2024

AbstractDespite its importance in different occupational and everyday contexts, vigilance, typically defined as the capacity to sustain attention over time, is remarkably limited. What explains these limits? Two theories have been proposed. The Overload Theory states that being vigilant consumes limited information‐processing resources; when depleted, task performance degrades. The Underload Theory states that motivation to perform vigilance tasks declines over time, thereby prompting attentional shifts and hindering performance. We highlight some conceptual and empirical problems for both theories and propose an alternative: the Strategic Allocation Theory. For the Strategic Allocation Theory, performance on vigilance tasks optimizes as a function of intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, including metacognitive factors such as the expected value of effort and the expected value of planning. Limited capacities must be deployed across task sets to maximize expected reward. The observed limits of vigilance reflect changes in the perceived value of, among other things, sustaining attention to a task rather than attending to something else. Drawing from recent computational theories of cognitive control and meta‐reasoning, we argue that the Strategic Allocation Theory explains more phenomena related to vigilance behavior than other theories, including self‐report data. Finally, we outline some of the testable predictions the theory makes across several experimental paradigms.This article is categorized under:

Barriers to the Development of Integrated Risk Management Within Health Insurance Entities in Central and Eastern Europe
Authors: Stoica Bogdan-Stefan , Ciocoiu Carmen Nadia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractMore than a decade after the implementation of the first specific elements of ERM (Enterprise Risk Management), organizations in Central and Eastern Europe face barriers in the development of Integrated Risk Management systems. Since Health Insurance Entities (HIEs) fall into the above statement, the purpose of the study is to identify the main specific barriers and their importance in developing an ERM system. In order to achieve the goal, this study used a research methodology based on a questionnaire sent to over 200 targeted entities from the Central and Eastern European countries. The results reflect an order of importance of the eight selected barriers, starting from the lack of an IT program for risk analysis, which hinders the development of ERM the most, to poor collaboration between internal departments, that presents itself as a minor obstacle. The research allows the proposal of a conceptual, logical-theoretical model that can be a solution for improving ERM within the HIEs by acting on the identified barriers.
Stochastic Dynamic Analysis of CFRD Considering the Coupling Randomness of Ground Motion and Material Parameters
Authors: Xu Bin , Pang Rui 
Published: September 2024

AbstractCurrently, in probabilistic fragility analysis, the randomness of ground motion and material parameters is typically addressed by randomly combining several ground motions selected from seismic databases and sampled material parameters (Xu et al., Journal of Hydroelectric Engineering 37:31–38, 2018). However, this approach lacks coupling effects, suffers from insufficient sample sizes or involves extensive computational efforts, thereby limiting the acquisition of comprehensive probability information. There are few studies on the coupling randomness of ground motion and material parameters on the dynamic response of structures, and even less on the seismic response of high CFRDs.

Sublating Kant through Marx: Li Zehou’s Transformation of the Empirical to the Transcendental
Authors: Rošker Jana S. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this article, I aim to explore and demonstrate a specific mode of transcultural philosophical comparison by introducing an innovative theoretical model that I tentatively call the “method of sublation.” Through an illuminating case study centered around Li Zehou 李澤厚, a prominent figure credited with pioneering this method, its profound potential for generating creative innovation comes to light. Li Zehou skillfully combined Kant’s transcendental philosophy and Marx’s historical materialism, creating a unique synthesis that sublated traditional divides. This sublation elevates the empirical, seamlessly integrating it into the transcendental domain. The foundation of this paper lies in providing a concise yet comprehensive overview of the method’s theoretical underpinnings, closely followed by a meticulous dissection of its operational structure. A tangible application of the method is then vividly demonstrated through Li Zehou’s adept process of seamlessly sublating static Kantian a priori forms with the dynamic principles of Marxist social development theory, exemplifying the potency of this transformative approach in the realm of philosophy.
Tailored directional porosity in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) for hypersonic applications
Authors: Kessel F. , Friess M. , Rauh C. , Wagner A. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn the field of hypersonic systems and their missions, the occurring flows impose extreme mechanical and thermal loads on the materials used. At the German Aerospace Center (DLR), extensive research is conducted in this area, ranging from design and specification to the development of suitable materials concluding with the proof of concept under realistic conditions in wind tunnels. In recent years, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) have been investigated for specific aspects of hypersonics. These materials exhibit consistent mechanical behavior over a wide temperature range (up to 1600 °C), coupled with high damage tolerance and thermal shock resistance, distinguishing them from metals and superalloys. Particularly, special porous C/C–SiC ceramics (carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon with silicon carbide) enable innovative material applications for components in transpiration cooling, fuel injection, or boundary-layer transition control. The work presented focuses on the next generation of porous C/C–SiC ceramics currently in development. By deliberately modifying the textile preform, the resulting microstructure and pore morphology are influenced, allowing for control over both the total volume and the orientation of the pores. Relevant parameters influencing porosity have been determined based on the results, and an initial characterization has been conducted. It has been demonstrated that there is a preferred direction of porosity within the sample thickness (Z-axis), and in terms of hypersonic-relevant properties, an absorption coefficient of 0.58 for an acoustic wave at 500 kHz (static pressure of 15 kPa), as well as a length-specific flow resistance of 3.4 MPa s/m2 and an overall porosity of 12.25% were determined. Building upon these promising initial findings, the goal is to further expand the understanding of the parameters influencing porosity and to generate a tailored material for different application scenarios by correlating them with hypersonic properties.
