AbstractIn the pursuit of achieving high‐performance and high‐throughput organic transistors, this study highlights two critical aspects: designing new soluble acenes and optimizing their solution processing. A fundamental understanding of the crystallization mechanism inherent to these customized soluble acenes, as they undergo a transformation during the evaporation of residual solvent, is deemed essential. Here, the pathway to crafting ideal solution processing conditions is elucidated, meticulously tailored to the molecular structure of soluble acenes when blended with polymers. Employing a comprehensive array of analytical and computational methodologies, this investigation delves directly into the intricate interplay between processing parameters and crystallization mechanisms, firmly rooted in the domains of thermodynamics and kinetics. Notably, a delicate equilibrium where the optimal weight of residual solvent harmoniously aligns is uncovered with the specific attributes of soluble acene molecules, exerting influence over vertical phase separation with the blended polymer and the crystallization process of soluble acenes at the surface. Consequently, transistors showcasing remarkable field‐effect mobility exceeding 8 cm2 V−1 s−1 are successfully developed. These findings provide invaluable guidance for navigating the path toward determining optimal solution processing conditions across a diverse array of soluble acene/polymer blend systems, all achieved through the strategic application of crystal and residual solvent engineering.

AbstractFerric vanadate exhibits potential as an attractive anode material for sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) due to the multiple oxidation states of vanadium and natural abundances of iron. However, the design and fabrication of high‐performance ferric vanadate‐based SIB anode materials with unique composite nanostructures are still challenging. Herein, a facile self‐template method is reported to synthesize 1D nanostructured Fe3C@N‐doped C/FeVO4 (Fe3C@NC/FeVO4) anode materials by the combination of morphology regulation with hybrid composite construction, for the first time. To this end, a 1D Fe, N‐doped carbon nanotube (FeNC) is used as a template, followed by etching and re‐growth to obtain the 1D Fe3C@N‐doped C/FeVO4 nanostructure. The introduction of Fe3C can improve its electronic conductivity and enhance capacitive behavior. Additionally, the 1D nanostructure can effectively shorten the ions transport path and alleviate volume expansion during the charge–discharge processes. With these advantages, the SIBs using such anodes show a remarkable rate performance with a capacity of 325.4 mAh g−1 at 0.1 A g−1, 150.6 mAh g−1 at 5 A g−1, and excellent cycling stability with a reversible capacity of 139.6 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 1500 cycles. This work offers a new strategy for the future development of SIBs with ferric vanadate‐based anode.

AbstractRational design and precision fabrication of magnetic‐dielectric composites have significant application potential for microwave absorption in the low‐frequency range of 2–8 GHz. However, the composition and structure engineering of these composites in regulating their magnetic‐dielectric balance to achieve high‐performance low‐frequency microwave absorption remains challenging. Herein, a self‐templating engineering strategy is proposed to fabricate hollow N‐doped carbon microspheres anchored with ternary FeCoNi alloys. The high‐temperature pyrolysis of FeCoNi alloy precursors creates core‐shell FeCoNi alloy‐graphitic carbon nano‐units that are confined in carbon shells. Moreover, the anchored FeCoNi alloys play a critical role in maintaining hollow structural stability. In conjunction with the additional contribution of multiple heterogeneous interfaces, graphitization, and N doping to the regulation of electromagnetic parameters, hollow FeCoNi@NCMs exhibit a minimum reflection loss (RLmin) of −53.5 dB and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 2.48 GHz in the low‐frequency range of 2–8 GHz. Furthermore, a filler loading of 20 wt% can also be used to achieve a broader EAB of 5.34 GHz with a matching thickness of 1.7 mm. In brief, this work opens up new avenues for the self‐templating engineering of magnetic‐dielectric composites for low‐frequency microwave absorption.

Published: September 2024

AbstractPhoto‐responsive adsorption has emerged as a vibrant area because it provides a promising route to reduce the energy consumption of the traditional adsorption separation. However, the current methodology to fabricate photo‐responsive sorbents is still subject to the photo‐deforming molecular units. In this study, a new initiative of photo‐dissociated electron‐hole pairs is proposed to generate amazing adsorption activity, and prove its feasibility. Employing CuPP [PP = 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin] framework nanosheets compounded with graphene, binary film (BF) sorbents are successfully fabricated. The paradigmatic BF nanostructure brings about efficiently photo‐excited electron‐hole pairs with durable enough lifetime to meet the needs of microscopic adsorption equilibrium, which ultimately alters the electron density distribution of adsorption surface, and thus markedly modulates the adsorption activity. Therefore, an amazing photo‐enhanced adsorption capability for the index gas CO can be gotten. Once exposed to the visible‐light at 420 nm, the CO adsorption capacity (0 °C, 1 bar) is risen from 0.23 mmol g−1 in the darkness to 1.66 mmol g−1, changed by + 622%. This is essentially different from majority of current photo‐responsive sorbents based on photo‐deforming molecular units, of which adsorption capability is only decreased with photo‐induction, and the maximum rate of change reported is just −54%.

AbstractExfoliation from quaternary hexagonal MAB (h‐MAB) phases has been suggested as a method for producing 2D in‐plane ordered MBenes (i‐MBenes) with the general formula (M′2/3M″1/3)2AB2. However, experimental realization of defect‐free i‐MBenes has not been achieved yet due to the absence of a suitable parent quaternary h‐MAB phase. In this study, a machine learning (ML) model is used to predict the stability of 15771 quaternary h‐MAB phases generated by considering 33 transition metals for the M site and 16 p‐block elements for the A site. Out of these compounds, only 195 are identified as potentially stable. Subsequent high‐precision first‐principles calculations confirm that 47 of them exhibit both thermodynamic and dynamic stability. Their potential for exfoliation into bimetallic i‐MBenes is investigated by bonding analysis. Leveraging these theoretical insights, a bimetallic i‐MBene is successfully synthesized, namely 2D Mo2ErB3T2.5 (T = F, Cl and O). Further experimental scrutiny reveals its excellent performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), highlighting the application potential of bimetallic i‐MBenes.

Authors: Liu Qiang , Song Yuanqi , Wang Xing , Zhu Yong , Wang Dayang 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this paper, the bond‐slip behavior and bond‐slip constitutive model of corroded reinforcement embedded in polypropylene fiber‐reinforced concrete (PFRC) were investigated. The central pullout test was conducted for 36 specimens. The effects of the corrosion level of reinforcement and the volume fraction of polypropylene (PP) fibers in concrete on the damage mode and bond‐slip process between reinforcement and concrete were studied. Based on the experimental data, a modified bond‐slip constitutive model considering the corrosion level of reinforcement and the volume fraction of PP fibers in concrete was proposed, and the proposed modified bond‐slip constitutive model was used in finite element analysis. The results showed that the addition of PP fibers effectively improved the ultimate bond strength, peak slip and bond toughness of reinforcement and concrete. The enhancement of the bonding properties of the specimens by the PP fibers remained significant after the reinforcement was corroded. The proposed modified bond‐slip constitutive model agreed well with the experimental results. The validity of the proposed model was further verified by finite element analysis.

AbstractThis research delves into incorporating Calamus tenuis fibers as reinforcing material in polymer composites, conducting a thorough analysis of their viscoelastic, mechanical, and morphological attributes. Employing the hand layup method, Calamus tenuis fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites were crafted across a range of fiber loadings from 0 to 25 wt% with 5 wt% increments. Results highlight significant enhancements in mechanical attributes upon the incorporation of Calamus tenuis fibers into the matrix. Notably, the composite with 10 wt% Calamus tenuis fibers emerges as the top performer, showcasing unparalleled mechanical strength compared to neat epoxy. It achieves the highest tensile strength (21.08 ± 1.03 MPa) and tensile modulus (2.84 ± 0.09 GPa), along with the utmost flexural strength (63.31 ± 1.05 MPa) and flexural modulus (3.12 ± 0.16 GPa). Furthermore, it demonstrates remarkable impact strength (9.40 ± 0.40 J/cm2), emphasizing its resilience. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirms enhanced fiber‐matrix adhesion in the 10 wt% composite. Additionally, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results reveal enhancements in storage and loss modulus, with the 10 wt% composites exhibiting the highest values. However, the damping factor decreases with the inclusion of Calamus tenuis fibers. Overall, a 10 wt% fiber loading is deemed ideal for enhancing the mechanical and dynamic properties of epoxy composites.Highlights

Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTSaccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model to study the effect of external cues on cell division and stress response. 5‐Fluorocuracil (5‐FU) has been used to treat solid tumors since several decades. The drug was initially designed to interfere with DNA replication but was later found to exert its antiproliferative effect also via RNA‐dependent processes. Since 5‐FU inhibits the activity of the 3′−5′‐exoribonuclease Rrp6 in yeast and mammals, earlier work has compared the effect of 5‐FU treatment and RRP6 deletion at the transcriptome level in diploid synchronized yeast cells. To facilitate interpreting the expression data we have developed an improved 5‐Fluorouracil RNA (5‐FUR) expression viewer. Users can access information via genome coordinates and systematic or standard names for mRNAs and Xrn1‐dependent‐, stable‐, cryptic‐, and meiotic unannotated transcripts (XUTs, SUTs, CUTs, and MUTs). Normalized log2‐transformed or linear data can be displayed as filled diagrams, line graphs or color‐coded heatmaps. The expression data are useful for researchers interested in processes such as cell cycle regulation, mitotic repression of meiotic genes, the effect of 5‐FU treatment and Rrp6 deficiency on the transcriptome and expression profiles of sense/antisense loci that encode overlapping transcripts.

Can ChatGPT be an author? Generative AI creative writing assistance and perceptions of authorship, creatorship, responsibility, and disclosure

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe increasing use of Generative AI raises many ethical, philosophical, and legal issues. A key issue here is uncertainties about how different degrees of Generative AI assistance in the production of text impacts assessments of the human authorship of that text. To explore this issue, we developed an experimental mixed methods survey study (N = 602) asking participants to reflect on a scenario of a human author receiving assistance to write a short novel as part of a 3 (high, medium, or low degrees of assistance) X 2 (human or AI assistant) factorial design. We found that, for a human author, the degree of assistance they receive matters for our assessments of their level of authorship, creatorship, and responsibility, but not what or who rendered that assistance, although it was more important to disclose human rather than AI assistance. However, in our assessments of the assisting agent, human assistants were viewed as warranting higher rates of authorship, creatorship, and responsibility, compared to AI assistants rendering the same level of support. These results help us to better understand emerging norms around collaborative human-AI generated text, with implications for other types of collaborative content creation.

Abstract
Purpose
Pre-operative assessment of surgical risk is essential for patient counselling in the elderly patient population. Our purpose was to compare validated geriatric assessment scores (GAS) in predicting postoperative morbidity and mortality in patients ≥ 80 years.

Methods
Overall, eight preoperative GAS were assessed for each patient who received RC from 2016 to 2021. Postoperative morbidity was recorded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) of surgical complications. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to determine prediction of 30-d morbidity and 90-d mortality in patients ≥ 80 years.

Results
In total, 424 patients were analysed (77.4% male) with median age of 71 years (IQR: 68.82;70.69), of which 67 (15.8%) were ≥ 80 years. Patients age ≥ 80 years showed more 30-d CDC grade ≥ IIIb (41.07% vs. 27.74% compared to < 80 years, p < .001) and worse 90-d mortality (26.87% vs. 4.76%, p < .001). In patients ≥ 80 years, morbidity was predicted by simplified Frailty Index (sFI)  ≥ 2 (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 1.27–3.34, p = .004), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≥ 2 (OR: 2.78, 95% CI: 1.18–6.54, p = .019) and severe Adult Comorbidity Evaluation (ACE)-27 score (OR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.13–3.79, p = .019), while 90-d mortality was predicted by CDC grade ≥ IIIb (OR: 22.91, 95% CI: 8.74–60.09, p < .001) and ECOG ≥ 2 (OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.05–7.86, p = .04).

Conclusion
Even in a high-volume center of RC, 90-d mortality is significantly higher in patients age ≥ 80. Our results suggest in patient age ≥ 80, sFI ≥ 2, ECOG performance status ≥ 2 and severe ACE-27 score as clinical cut-off value to evaluate alternative bladder-sparing concepts.

AbstractThe histopathological examination of radical prostatectomy specimens is essential for assessing critical tumor characteristics, including stage, grade, and margins, all of which impact patient prognosis. However, the extent of embedding the prostate has long been a subject of debate, with some advocating partial/selective embedding and others favoring complete embedding. This study establishes a standardized and time-efficient protocol for processing radical prostatectomy specimens with limited embedding while maintaining diagnostic accuracy. Two hundred twenty-six prostatectomy specimens were analyzed, and the results of a highly standardized selective embedding protocol, systematically embedding the apex, the base, the transition to the seminal vesicles, and selected horizontal sections, were compared with full embedding as the gold standard. Non-inferiority testing was conducted by one-sided binomial tests and Pearson-Clopper confidence intervals. Selective embedding provided consistent and accurate diagnostic information with up to 90–98% concordance in pT, margins, ISUP-grade groups, and presence of IDC-P and cribriform tumor growth. In summary, this study establishes an economical standardized protocol for selective embedding of radical prostatectomy specimens with only minimal loss of information.
A study on safety evaluation system of cultured foods among alternative proteins

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Food produced by cell culture has been approved in Singapore and the United States. Food safety evaluation systems of Singapore, the United States, Europe, and Korea were reviewed for producing cultured foods with new technologies. In Singapore, Europe, and Korea, safety evaluation of cultured meat is conducted by applying for such evaluation in the Novel Food system. In contrast, in the case of the United States, safety evaluation for cultured meat is conducted by the FDA and the USDA, considering it as an altered product of production methods, not a novel food. Required safety assessment data vary depending on whether the cultured meat is a novel food or a different food with a different production method. Accordingly, the current study presents differences between required documents according to the two distinct perspectives.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Objective
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder associated with progressive loss of motor neurons. It is a growing and underestimated disease, prompting this epidemiological study to describe the characteristics of ALS in Egyptian patients.

Methods
This is a prospective hospital based study. ALS patients were recruited consecutively from Neuromuscular Unit in Ain Shams university Hospital from December 2018 to June 2023. Demographic data and disease related parameters were recorded.

Results
203 ALS patients had a mean age of onset equal 39 years and an inter quartile range IQR of (28.00–51.00). 76% of the cases were spinal onset ALS. Median disease duration was 2 years with IQR of (1–4 years); male to female ratio was 2.5:1; 18% of patients were familial ALS (FALS), while 19% were Juvenile ALS (JALS). Median diagnostic delay was 12 ± (6–36) months. Median Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale Revised scores (ALSFRS-R) at presentation was 34.5 IQR of (26.00–40.00). Also, the mean rate of disease progression ALSFRS-R decline [points/month] was 0.76 ± 0.51.

Conclusion
Our cohort was characterized by a younger age of onset, male predominance, more familial cases, within average Initial ALSFRS-R scores as well as diagnostic delay. Juvenile ALS patients were much more common in our population. These findings suggest an influential presence of genetic and epigenetic factors affecting the clinical phenotype of Egyptian ALS patients.
Impact of shifting from rice to shrimp farming on migration aspirations in Bangladesh

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe Ganges–Brahmaputra–Meghna delta is one of the most populous deltas in the world, threatened by diverse environmental stressors, including salinity intrusion, causing adverse consequences on livelihood adaptation. Shrimp farming has been recognized as one of the most practiced livelihoods among various livelihood opportunities. Growing global demand and higher economic returns encouraged many farmers to convert their agricultural land to shrimp farms by intruding saline water into the farmlands to produce shrimps. In this study, we investigated whether the growing trend of shrimp farming influences the migration aspirations of the vulnerable coastal communities in Bangladesh. The study employed qualitative interviews with individuals in four villages in southwest coastal Bangladesh. Satellite images were analyzed to detect land-use changes and changes in soil salinity in the last 28 years, confirming a rapid increase in shrimp farms. Results from the qualitative interviews indicate that poor people with limited resources cannot produce paddy on their land because of increased soil salinity caused by shrimp farming. Such a situation leads them to aspire to migrate. Thus, our analysis contributes to the discourse on “aspiration and capability” in environmental migration by adding the impacts of land-use changes on livelihoods.
