Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study is to develop an efficient and accurate analytical model for the lateral torsional buckling (LTB) prediction of RHS beams. To this end, a coherent nonlinear geometric theory is formulated assuming large torsion angles. This theory is based on a new kinematic model that incorporates the distortion deformations in addition to the bending and torsion ones. Ritz's method is employed to discretize the governing equilibrium equations basing on trigonometric shape functions, and then the eigenvalue problem is defined according to the fundamental state. The Buckling loads are obtained by imposing the singularity condition of the tangential stiffness matrix. The numerical investigation is carried out to prove the accuracy of the proposed model in LTB load evaluation, when compared with the nonlinear shell finite element simulation using Abaqus software. The numerical results reveal that the classical linear models associated with moderate torsion angles, such as those provided by Generalized Beam Theory (GBT) and the classical eigenvalue shell finite element method, tend to underestimate the correct value of LTB loads of simply supported RHS beams. In accordance with linear and non‐linear models, the numerical study is focused on the impact of load height, intensity of introduced compressive load and section ratio b/h in the LTB loads prediction.

ABSTRACTThe multiscale model of building structures, as a balanced solution between accuracy and cost, has been widely used in the analysis of structural seismic performance. A reasonable interface connection method can accurately ensure load transfer and motion coordination between models of different scales. In this paper, a novel interface connection device and the corresponding design method for a multiscale test model of building structures were proposed, in which the upper structure with smaller sized components was replaced by a simplified story‐scale model, and the lower structure was adopted as a component‐scale model. The overall and local equations of motion for this multiscale model were established. For the interface connection between different scale models, a design method considering multiparametric similarity of shear force, axial force, and bending moment was proposed. In this method, the internal nodes at the interface of the component scale model were decomposed, and the coupling relationship of internal force between two adjacent nodes was established. The axial force of each node was decoupled into the interstory shear force and bending moment provided together. Additionally, the overturning moment is provided by adding the overlapping domain. According to the equilibrium relationships of the nodes at the interface, the corresponding transfer matrix was provided, and the design method of the interface connection device was proposed. The accuracy and feasibility of the method were validated by static and shaking table tests on a frame structure.

Published: October 2024

AbstractAqueous zinc ion batteries (AZIBs) are considered one of the most prospective new‐generation electrochemical energy storage devices with the advantages of high specific capacity, good safety, and high economic efficiency. Nevertheless, the enduring problems of low Coulombic efficiency (CE) and inadequate cycling stability of zinc anodes, originating from dendrites, hydrogen precipitation and passivation, are closely tied to their thermodynamic instability in aqueous electrolytes, which significantly shortens the cycle life of the battery. Electrolyte additives can solve the above difficulties and are important for the advancement of affordable and reliable AZIBs. Organic electrolyte additives have attracted widespread attention due to their unique properties, however, there is a lack of systematic discussion on the performance and mechanism of action of organic electrolyte additives. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the application of organic electrolyte additives in AZIBs is presented. The role of organic electrolyte additives in stabilizing zinc anodes is described and evaluated. Finally, further potential directions and prospects for improving and directing organic electrolyte additives for AZIBs are presented.

Published: October 2024

ABSTRACTInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex and recurring inflammatory disorder that affects the gastrointestinal tract and is influenced by genetic predisposition, immune dysregulation, the gut microbiota, and environmental factors. Advanced therapies, such as biologics and small molecules, target diverse immune pathways to manage IBD. Nanoparticle (NP)‐based drugs have emerged as effective tools, offering controlled drug release and targeted delivery. This review highlights NP modifications for anti‐inflammatory purposes, utilizing changes such as those in size, charge, redox reactions, and ligand–receptor interactions in drug delivery systems. By using pathological and microenvironmental cues to guide NP design, precise targeting can be achieved. In IBD, a crucial aspect of NP intervention is targeting specific types of cells, such as immune and epithelial cells, to address compromised intestinal barrier function and reduce overactive immune responses. This review also addresses current challenges and future prospects, with the goal of advancing the development of NP‐mediated strategies for IBD treatment.

Published: October 2024

AbstractDuring attempts to synthesize La3PTe3, after participation of the SiO2‐container material, two so far unknown compounds could be isolated, which both follow the Zintl‐Klemm concept. The novel quaternary lanthanum tellurides La11Si11P21Te5 and La20.667Si18P46Te11.333 crystallize hexagonally in the non‐centrosymmetric space group P
c with the unit‐cell parameters a=1204.97(6) pm and c=1802.38(9) pm (c/a=1.496) or a=1205.78(6) pm and c=1802.16(9) pm (c/a=1.495), respectively. Their very similar crystal structures can be divided into two interpenetrating three‐dimensional sublattices,
{[La11Te5]23+} (d(La3+−Te2−)=314–335 pm plus 352 pm) and
{[Si11P21]23−} (d(Si−P)=221–225 pm, d(Si−Si)=230–231 pm, d(P−P)=220–221 pm) for La11Si11P21Te5 (Z=2), displaying unique structural features as compared to related compounds. The linkage of these two sublattices occurs through attractive La3+−Si− and La3+−P− interactions (d(La−Si)=333 pm, d(La−P)=298–318 pm). For La20.667Si18P46Te11.333 (Z=1), 4/3 out of 22 La3+cations in the doubled formula La22Si22P42Te10 have to be omitted, while the four Si− anions need to be replaced with phosphorus atoms. The La3+ vacancies are filled up with tellurium, partly forming [Te2]2− dumbbells (d(Te−Te)=274 pm). La11Si11P21Te5 can be obtained on target by reacting the elements (La, Si, P and Te) in their respective amounts with an excess of potassium chloride as fluxing agent in evacuated and torch‐sealed glassy silica ampoules for four days at 900 °C as black pillars or thick plates with hexagonal cross‐section.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThis study use numerical method to investigate the transportation of a bioconvective magnetized tangent hyperbolic nanofluid across an exponentially porous stretched sheet. The flow model takes into account the important contributions of Joule heating, thermal radiation, activation energy, and nonuniform heat source/sink. Moreover, slip boundary conditions with gyrotactic microorganisms are taken into flow analysis. The flow model is converted into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using suitable similarity variables. The bvp4c approach in MATLAB is used to get numerical solutions for this system. The study evaluates the influence of different parameters on the velocity, temperature, concentration, and microorganism profile via graphical representations. The results indicate that increasing the mixed convection parameters accelerates the velocity profile, whereas raising the magnetic parameter slows it down. The temperature profile increases with higher values of radiation parameter, however, it decreases as the Prandtl number and thermal slip parameter increase. Furthermore, the microorganism profile decreases as the bioconvection Lewis number and microorganism slip parameter increase.
How viable is a QCD axion near 10 MeV?
Authors: Girmohanta Sudhakantha , Nakagawa Shota , Nakai Yuichiro , Xu Junxuan 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
There has been an attempt to revive the visible QCD axion at the 10 MeV scale assuming that it exclusively couples to the first-generation quarks and the electron. This variant of the QCD axion is claimed to remain phenomenologically viable, partly due to a clever model construction that induces tree-level pion-phobia and exploits uncertainties inherent in the chiral perturbation theory. We confront this model with the cosmological domain wall problem, the quality issue and constraints arising from the electron electric dipole moment. It is also pointed out that the gluon loop-generated axion-top coupling can provide a very large contribution to rare B-meson decays, such that the present LHCb data for B0 → K*0e+e− rule out the model for the axion mass larger than 30 MeV. There is a strong motivation for pushing the experimental analysis of B → K(*)e+e− to a lower e+e− invariant mass window, which will conclusively determine the fate of the model, as its contribution to this branching ratio significantly exceeds the Standard Model prediction.
Tribological properties and related effects of compressed, thermally modified and wax-impregnated wood
Authors: Waßmann O. , Ahmed S.I.-U. 
Published: October 2024

AbstractThis paper develops a process for the preparation of modified wood with low friction and low wear for tribological applications such as self-lubricating bearings. Two types of wood, beech (Fagus sylvatica) and robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia), have been studied and the results compared with naturally lubricated native lignum vitae. The process developed consists of plasticisation followed by compression in a mould, thermal modification and subsequent wax impregnation. Plasticisation was carried out by conditioning the samples to a low equilibrium moisture content of 10%, followed by heating to a sample core temperature of 80 °C. This process protects the internal wood structure from mechanical damage during densification. After plasticisation, the wood was compressed in a press mould. A low springback effect (SBE), resulting in compression of up to 40%, was achieved by unloading the mould without opening it. This step optimises compressive strength and hardness. Subsequent heat treatment reduces thickness swelling by up to 85%. Finally, a wax impregnation was applied to reduce friction. Sliding wear tests on modified beech wood have shown that the lowest wear occurs in the cross-sectional orientation (load perpendicular to the fibre ends; rxt orientation). Sliding friction studies using a steel ball on a ball-on-disc tribometer showed that compressed and thermally modified samples impregnated with rapeseed wax or beeswax exhibited coefficients of friction in a range of 0.08 to 0.09. These values are almost four times lower than those of plain compressed wood and even lower than those of lignum vitae, which was used for plain bearings decades ago. This study clearly demonstrates the high potential of compressed, thermally modified and wax-impregnated wood.
On the effectiveness of partially deterministic Bayesian neural networks
Authors: Andrade Daniel , Sato Koki 
Published: October 2024

AbstractBayesian neural networks (BNNs) with computationally expensive Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling methods are often considered to provide better predictive performance than the maximum a posterior (MAP) solution. Here, as an alternative to sampling all parameters of a BNN (full-random), we experimentally evaluate partially deterministic BNNs that fix some part of the neural network parameters to their MAP solution. In particular, we consider various strategies for fixing half, or all parameters of a layer to the MAP-solution. Over a wide variety of regression and classification tasks, we find that partially deterministic BNNs often significantly improve predictive performance over the MAP-solution, with up to around 24% reduction in negative log-likelihood. Notably, we also find that partially deterministic BNNs that fix half of the parameters in each layer can also reduce under-fitting of full-random BNNs, resulting in up to 7% reduction in negative log-likelihood.

Abstract
Multi-omics data integration has been repeatedly discussed as the way forward to more comprehensively cover the molecular responses of cells or organisms to chemical exposure in systems toxicology and regulatory risk assessment. In Canzler et al. (Arch Toxicol 94(2):371–388. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00204-020-02656-y), we reviewed the state of the art in applying multi-omics approaches in toxicological research and chemical risk assessment. We developed best practices for the experimental design of multi-omics studies, omics data acquisition, and subsequent omics data integration. We found that multi-omics data sets for toxicological research questions were generally rare, with no data sets comprising more than two omics layers adhering to these best practices. Due to these limitations, we could not fully assess the benefits of different data integration approaches or quantitatively evaluate the contribution of various omics layers for toxicological research questions. Here, we report on a multi-omics study on thyroid toxicity that we conducted in compliance with these best practices. We induced direct and indirect thyroid toxicity through Propylthiouracil (PTU) and Phenytoin, respectively, in a 28-day plus 14-day recovery oral rat toxicity study. We collected clinical and histopathological data and six omics layers, including the long and short transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome, and metabolome from plasma, thyroid, and liver. We demonstrate that the multi-omics approach is superior to single-omics in detecting responses at the regulatory pathway level. We also show how combining omics data with clinical and histopathological parameters facilitates the interpretation of the data. Furthermore, we illustrate how multi-omics integration can hint at the involvement of non-coding RNAs in post-transcriptional regulation. Also, we show that multi-omics facilitates grouping, and we assess how much information individual and combinations of omics layers contribute to this approach.

Published: October 2024

AbstractThe use of certain antibiotics in food-producing animals is allowed in Europe following Regulation (EU) 2017/625. However, use could result in antibiotic residues in foodstuffs of animal origin. Maximum residue limits (MRLs) are in place to protect consumers. For monitoring purposes, animal matrices are tested to verify their compliance with these MRLs. Initially, matrices of (slaughtered) food animals are screened, often using a microbiological assay. Faster screening tests for antibiotics would be an advantage for control laboratories. Therefore, the present study describes, for the first time, the use of coated blade spray (CBS) followed by direct mass spectrometry (MS) analysis for the screening of tetracyclines, sulfonamides, quinolones, and macrolides residues from the renal area of intact bovine kidneys. An optimized workflow using two different desorption/ionization solutions per blade allowed screening of target compounds within 1 min per sample. The proof-of-principle of the CBS-MS method is validated according to (EU) 2021/808, presenting CCβ screening values of 0.1 × MRL for 43 analytes, 0.5 × MRL for 4 analytes, and 2.5 µg kg−1 for the prohibited substance dapsone, respectively. The developed method was successfully applied to seven official control samples of bovine kidneys. One of these samples was found to be positive using the CBS-MS method, which was confirmed as a true positive by LC-MSMS analysis. The developed method demonstrates that CBS devices can directly extract and analyze kidney samples for food safety testing.
