Hierarchical Nitrogen‐Doped Graphene/Carbon Nanotube Composite Cathode for Lithium–Oxygen Batteries
Authors: Shu Chaozhu , Li Bo , Zhang Bingsen , Su Dangsheng 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThe lithium–oxygen (Li–O2) battery is a very appealing candidate for advanced high energy applications owing to its exceptionally high specific energy. However, its poor energy efficiency, rate capability, and cyclability remain key barriers to its practical application. In this work, using a rationally designed cathode based on a bimodal mesoporous nitrogen‐doped graphene/carbon nanotube (NGC) composite, we have developed a Li–O2 battery demonstrating enhanced round‐trip efficiency (ca. 85 %) and excellent cyclability over 400 cycles under a high current rate of 500 mA g−1. The excellent cyclability and rate capability are attributed to improved stability of the aggressive LiO2 intermediate on the nitrogen‐doped carbon surface in addition to the favorable hierarchical architecture of NGC. These results demonstrate a valuable research direction to achieve highly stable and reversible Li–O2 batteries through tuning the surface chemistry of the cathode in addition to finding a stable electrolyte solvent.
Multicast routing based on data envelopment analysis with multiple Quality of Service parameters
Authors: Raayatpanah Mohammad Ali 
Published: November 2015

SummaryThe requirement for real‐time multimedia communications raises challenges for constructing multicast trees with multiple Quality of Service (QoS) parameters, for example, bandwidth, delay, delay jitter, error rates, and so on. In this paper, we present a new method for establishing multicast trees with multiple QoS parameters based on data envelopment analysis techniques. We first apply data envelopment analysis techniques for evaluating the relative efficiency of arcs in the presence of QoS parameters. Then, an integer linear programming model based on the relative efficiency of arcs is proposed to obtain multicast trees for transmitting data from a source to each destination. The proposed approach is illustrated and evaluated through numerical examples. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Neurotrophin‐dependent plasticity of neurotransmitter segregation in the rat superior cervical ganglion in vivo

Published: November 2015

ABSTRACTNeurons are able to segregate transmitters to different axon endings. Segregation is a plastic neuronal feature; it can be modulated by synaptic environment. We have demonstrated that neurotrophin and other cellular factors regulate segregation in sympathetic neurons in culture. Herein we tested the hypothesis that sympathetic neurons in vivo are also capable to exhibit neurotrophin‐dependent plasticity of segregation. To explore the effect of neurotrophin on segregation, we reduced ganglionic NGF content by the transection of postganglionic nerves (axotomy) of the superior cervical ganglia. By immunohistochemistry, Western blot, and PCR analyses, we explored the effect of axotomy on the NGF and BDNF content of ganglionic neurons, and on the segregation extent of vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) and methionine enkephalin (mENK) in pre‐ganglionic varicosities. We analyzed NGF‐dependence of the changes found by applying exogenous NGF. Axotomy reduced ganglionic NGF and BDNF content, increased NGF transcripts, and increased VAChT‐mENK segregation. Axotomy also increased the number of VAChT immunopositive varicosities, and caused the appearance of a population of VAChT‐, mENK‐ or SV2‐containing varicosities lacking Synaptophysin (Syn). Administration of NGF prevented changes in NGF content, kept NGF transcripts increased, and counteracted changes in segregation and in the number of cholinergic varicosities. The exogenous NGF did not preclude change in BDNF content or in the occurrence of the VAChT‐ or mENK‐containing varicosities lacking Syn. Data demonstrate that segregation of transmitters in vivo is plastic and it is modulated by environmental signals like NGF. We propose a possible functional correlate of segregation plasticity in the sympathetic ganglia. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Develop Neurobiol 76: 832–846, 2016
From species to communities: the signature of recreational use on a tropical river ecosystem

Published: November 2015

AbstractDisturbance can impact natural communities in multiple ways. However, there has been a tendency to focus on single indicators of change when examining the effects of disturbance. This is problematic as classical diversity measures, such as Shannon and Simpson indices, do not always detect the effects of disturbance. Here, we instead take a multilevel, hierarchical approach, looking for signatures of disturbance in the capacity and diversity of the community, and also in allocation and demography at the population level. Using recreational use as an example of disturbance, and the freshwater streams of Trinidad as a model ecosystem, we repeatedly sampled the fish communities and physical parameters of eight pairs of recreational and nonrecreational sites every 3 months over a 28‐month period. We also chose the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata) as the subject of our population‐level analyses. Regression tree analysis, together with analysis of deviance, revealed that community capacity and community species richness were greater at sites with higher levels of recreational use. Interestingly, measures of community diversity that took into account the proportional abundance of each species were not significantly associated with recreational use. Neither did we find any direct association between recreational use and proportion of guppy biomass in the community. However, population‐level differences were detected in the guppy: Sex ratio was significantly more female‐biased at more disturbed sites. Our findings emphasize the importance of considering multiple levels when asking how disturbance impacts a community. We advocate the use of a multilevel approach when monitoring the effects of disturbance, and highlight gaps in our knowledge when it comes to interpreting these effects.

Silicon Asymmetric Membranes for Efficient Lithium Storage: A Scalable Method
Authors: Wu Ji , Chen Hao , Padgett Clifford 
Published: November 2015

AbstractIn this study, scalable membrane technologies are adapted to obtain silicon asymmetric membranes for lithium‐ion battery anodes. The unique asymmetric porous structure can provide both mechanical support and free volume to accommodate the large volume expansion during silicon lithiation, thus leading to excellent rate and cycling performance. An overall specific capacity as high as 1500 mAh g−1was achieved at 100 mA g−1. Even at 1000 mA g−1, the capacity was still above 800 mAh g−1. More than 90 % of the initial capacity was retained after 200 cycles. It was also observed that a lower Si content and higher carbonization temperature can help achieve stable cycling performance in general. This report is significant in terms of demonstrating a simplistic, generic, and scalable method to create a robust, porous asymmetric membrane structure for efficient lithium‐ion storage.

Abstract

To assess the potential exposure of aquatic ecosystems to active pharmaceutical ingredients, the authors conducted a national-scale, probability-based statistical survey of the occurrence of these compounds in surface waters of the United States. The survey included 182 sampling sites and targeted rivers with close proximity to urban areas. The 46 analytes reported represent many classes of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), including antibiotics, diuretics, antihypertensives, anticonvulsants, and antidepressants. Of the 46 analytes, 37 were detected in at least 1 sampling location. Sulfamethoxazole (an antibiotic) was the most frequently detected compound, being measured in 141 of the 182 surface waters surveyed at concentrations ranging up to 570 ng/L. Ten of the compounds were detected in 20% or more of the sampling sites. Weighted means of the analytical measurements are used with the statistical survey design and analysis to provide national estimates of the extent of contamination for these APIs in the nation's urban rivers.

Mesh adaptation for large‐eddy simulations in complex geometries

Published: November 2015

SummaryLarge‐eddy simulation (LES) consists in explicitly simulating the large scales of the fluid motion and in modeling the influence of the smallest scales. Thanks to the steady growth of computational resources, LES can now be used to simulate realistic systems with complex geometries. However, when LES is used in such complex geometries, an adequate mesh has to be determined to perform valid LES. In this work, a strategy is proposed to assess the quality of a given mesh and to adapt it locally. Two different criteria are used as mesh adaptation criteria. The first criterion is defined to ensure a correct discretization of the mean field, whereas the second criterion is defined to ensure enough explicit resolution of turbulent scales motions. The use of both criteria is shown in canonical flow cases. As a second part of this work, a numerical strategy for mesh adaptation in high‐performance computing context is proposed by coupling the flow solver, YALES2, and the remeshing library, MMG3D, for massively parallel computations. This coupling enables an efficient and parallel remeshing of grids alleviating any memory or performance issues encountered in sequential tools. This strategy is finally applied to the simulation of the isothermal flow in a complex meso‐combustor to demonstrate the applicability of the adaptation methodology to complex turbulent flows.

ObjectiveFinancial abuse is the most common form of elder abuse. Capacity Australia, established to promote education regarding capacity and abuse prevention across health, legal and financial sectors, was awarded a grant by the Dementia Collaborative Research Centre to educate the banking sector on financial abuse and dementia. We aimed to develop a knowledge translation tool for bank staff on this issue.MethodsThe banking sector across Australia was engaged and consulted to develop a tailored education tool based on Australian Banking Association's Guidelines on Financial Abuse Prevention, supplemented by information related to dementia, financial capacity and supported decision‐making. The tool was tested on 69 banking staff across Australia from two major banks.ResultsAn online education tool using adaptive learning was developed, comprising a pretest of 15 multiple choice questions, followed by a learning module tailored to the individual's performance on the pretest, and a post‐test to assess knowledge translation. A significant increase in scores was demonstrated when baseline scores were compared with post‐course scores (mean difference in scores = 3.5; SD = 1.94; t = 15.1; df = 68; p < 0.001). The tool took approximately 10–20 min to complete depending on the knowledge of participant and continuity of completion.ConclusionsThe Australian banking industry was amenable to assist in the development of a tailored education tool on dementia, abuse and financial capacity. This online e‐tool provides an effective medium for knowledge translation. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: November 2015

ObjectiveSleep problems and depression are common symptoms in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), where patients typically experience subjectively poor sleep quality, fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness. However, whilst sleep disturbances have been linked to depression, this relationship has not received much attention in DLB. The present cross‐sectional study addresses this by examining whether depressive symptoms are specifically associated with subjective sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in DLB, and by examining other contributory factors.MethodsDLB patients (n = 32) completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the 15‐item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS‐15). Motor and cognitive functioning was also assessed. Pearson correlations were used to assess the relationship between GDS‐15, ESS and PSQI scores.ResultsGDS‐15 scores were positively associated with both ESS (r = 0.51, p < 0.01) and PSQI (r = 0.59, p < 0.001) scores.ConclusionsSubjective poor sleep and daytime sleepiness were associated with depressive symptoms in DLB. Given the cross‐sectional nature of the present study, the directionality of this relationship cannot be determined, although this association did not appear to be mediated by sleep quality or daytime sleepiness. Nevertheless, these findings have clinical relevance; daytime sleepiness or poor sleep quality might indicate depression in DLB, and subsequent work should examine whether the treatment of depression can reduce excessive daytime sleepiness and improve sleep quality in DLB patients. Alternatively, more rigorous screening for sleep problems in DLB might assist the treatment of depression. © 2015 The Authors.

On the Importance of Sectoral and Regional Shocks for Price‐Setting
Authors: Beck Guenter W. , Hubrich Kirstin , Marcellino Massimiliano 
Published: November 2015

SummaryWe use novel disaggregate sectoral‐regional euro‐area data to investigate the sources of price changes, introducing a new method to extract factors from overlapping data blocks that allows for estimation of aggregate, sectoral, country‐specific and regional components of price changes. Our sectoral component explains much less variation in disaggregate inflation rates and exhibits much less volatility and more persistence than previous findings for the US indicate. Country‐ and region‐specific factors play an important role, emphasizing heterogeneity of inflation dynamics along both sectoral and geographical dimensions. Our results are incompatible with basic sticky‐information or Calvo‐type price‐setting models, but require multi‐sector, multi‐country models. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Published: November 2015

AbstractBACKGROUNDFor impact of nutritionally improved biofortified crops, consumer acceptance specifically by women and children is necessary when the target beneficiaries are young children. The objective was to assess women's and children's acceptance of a biofortified crop, quality protein maize (QPM), for complementary feeding in rural Ethiopia.RESULTSRandomly sampled mothers (n = 61) of young children (6–24 months) evaluated flours from a QPM and a conventional maize variety for five sensory characteristics and overall acceptance by mother and child in a home use test with a double‐blind, randomized controlled cross‐over design. Women distinguished the varieties when used to prepare porridge, and QPM scored more favorably for texture in hand and mouth (both P < 0.05). The varieties did not differ in overall acceptance, which was, however, affected by order of presentation, mothers' number of children, and enumerators who collected data (all P < 0.05). Aroma and taste were key in mothers' acceptance, and appearance was further important for children. Women were more than twice as likely to prefer QPM over conventional maize.CONCLUSIONConsumer acceptance is unlikely to impede uptake and impact of QPM on young children's nutritional status. Home use testing proved feasible for assessing acceptance in rural areas with food insecurity and limited education. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry
An anticipatory approach to quantify energetics of recycling CdTe photovoltaic systems
Authors: Ravikumar Dwarakanath , Sinha Parikhit , Seager Thomas P. , Fraser Matthew P. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractRapid growth in worldwide photovoltaic (PV) systems will soon result in a massive installed base of modules, electrical systems (ES), and balance of systems (BOS) that are expected to reach their end of life after two or three decades of operation. While existing recycling technologies will likely be available for steel, copper, aluminum, and other commodity materials found in the ES and BOS, these have yet to be accounted for in studies that assess the environmental impacts of PV recycling. More problematic is the lack of research identifying strategies to improve recovery of semiconductor and other module materials and develop recycling infrastructure to minimize energy required to transport these materials. The current leader in photovoltaics recycling is First Solar, which operates facilities for processing prompt scrap, breakage, and any end‐of‐life CdTe PV modules. This paper presents a comprehensive energy assessment of recycling the entire CdTe PV system based on First Solar's processes and identifies hotspots that present opportunities to improve the energy balance of future recycling operations. The energy savings derived from recycling a CdTe PV system reduces the lifecycle energy footprint by approximately 24% of the energy required to manufacture the PV system. By contrast, recycling just the CdTe PV module without the BOS has an approximately neutral net energy impact, recovering 13.2 kg of glass, 0.007 kg of Cd, and 0.008 kg of Te per m2. Hotspot analysis shows that reducing the energy required to recover unrefined semiconductor material from the module and ensuring high recovery of steel and glass from the end‐of‐life CdTe PV system will have the greatest impact on the energy benefits of recycling. Also, transportation energy depends on the energy tradeoff between (i) material recovery and recycling operations at the decentralized location, and (ii) transporting, recovering, and recycling the PV system components at a centralized location. An optimal strategy (centralized versus decentralized) is presented to minimize the net energy footprint when distance to the centralized recycling facility and the recycling energy requirements at the decentralized recycling facility are varied.

Synthesis of versatile poly(PMMA‐b‐VI) macromonomer‐based hydrogels via infrared laser ignited frontal polymerization
Authors: Chen Ting , Li Yang , Yang Sheng‐Yang , Wang Cai‐Feng , Chen Su 
Published: November 2015

ABSTRACTIn this work, poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA) (MMA = methyl methacrylate; VI = 1‐vinylimidazole; AA = acrylic acid) hydrogels and poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA)/TPU (TPU = thermoplastic polyurethane) IPN (interpenetrating polymer networks) hydrogels have been fabricated via versatile infrared laser ignited frontal polymerization by using poly(PMMA‐b‐VI) macromonomer as the mononer. The frontal velocity andTmax(the highest temperature that the laser beam detected at a fixed point) can be adjusted by varying monomer weight ratios, the concentration of BPO (BPO = benzoyl peroxide) and the amount of TPU. Moreover, the addition of TPU enhances the reactant viscosity to suppress the “fingering” of frontal polymerization (FP) and decreaseTmaxof the reaction, providing a new inert carrier (TPU) to assist FP. Through the characterization of Fourier transform‐infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), the desired structure can be proved to exist in the IPN hydrogels. Furthermore, poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA)/TPU IPN hydrogels possesses more excellent mechanical behaviors than hydrogels without IPN structure. Besides, the poly((PMMA‐b‐VI)‐co‐AA) hydrogels present splendid sensitive properties toward substances of different flavor including sourness (CA, citric acid or GA, gluconic acid), umami (SG, sodium glutamate), saltiness (SC, sodium chloride), sweetness (GLU, glucose), enabling their potential as artificial tongue‐like sensing materials. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
