Published: August 2013

L'opération d'archéologie préventive effectuée sur le site de la Faculté de Droit dans l'emprise intra muros de la ville médiévale de Montpellier a mis au jour des structures peu loquaces sur les activités humaines qui s'y déroulaient entre le XIIIe et le XVe siècle. Au contraire, des mobiliers d'origine biologique, charbons de bois et os animaux, ont permis d'envisager l'existence d'une fabrication de maroquin, peau de caprin tannée au sumac, dès le bas Moyen-Âge antérieurement aux dates avancées pour l'introduction de ce type de cuir en France. De plus le quartier de la Blancaria
où cette activité s'exerçait se situerait à l'intérieur des remparts et non à l'extérieur le long du ruisseau voisin.

AbstractIn aging and aged countries, one of the main issues is to establish sufficient nursing homes for seniors. Japan, as one of the most rapidly aged countries, has been reforming nursing homes for the elderly since the 1990s and established a long‐term care insurance system. The purpose of this scoping review is to systematically map the evolution of researches for nursing homes in Japan since the 1990s, particularly with the post‐occupancy evaluation of the introduction of private rooms and small units. Forty‐three articles concerning privatization of rooms, shared spaces, and small unitization in nursing homes were extracted and analyzed. They were published between 1994 and 2021 in Journal of Architecture and Planning, AIJ Journal of Technology, JAABE, and JAR. The results revealed an evaluation of the privatized rooms mainly from the perspectives of residents' lives and care staffing, the effects and issues of the shared spaces introduced at the same time as private rooms, and the evaluation and issues on subsequent unit‐type floor plans. This study offers significant implications to Asian countries that will have aging and aged populations in the near future by summarizing Japan's experience in dealing with realistic and practical problems over the past 20 years.

AbstractBandpass photodetectors have tremendous applications in colorimetric analysis, light communication, imaging and machine vision systems. Compared to broadband photodetectors combined with external optical filters, solution‐processed filterless bandpass photodetectors enjoy high integration density and low cost, but suffer from broadened response edges and insufficient spectral rejection ratios (SRRs). Here, prototype filterless bandpass photodetectors with near square‐shape photoresponse are developed based on (CmH2m+1NH3)2PbI4/MAPbI3 (m = 4–8) and (CmH2m+1NH3)2PbBr4/MAPbBr3 (m = 2–8) perovskite heterojunctions. The strong and sharp excitonic absorption of 2D perovskites defines the ultranarrow response onset widths of 10 ± 1 nm. Besides, the strong photoluminescence (PL) self‐absorption of 2D perovskites suppresses the PL leakage from the front absorber to the back photoactive region, which is crucial to the achieved record high SRR of >2000. By integrating Br‐based 2D/3D perovskite photodetectors with onset edge wavelength discrimination of ≈20 nm, a multiple‐channel optical communication system with low spectral crosstalk is demonstrated.

AbstractLow‐temperature differential evaporation constitutes a promising direction for energy‐saving desalination. Herein, a novel Janus interfacial structure with well‐ordered micro/nanopores is developed. Fabricated Janus interfacial structure can weak the water intermolecular forces and pump water to the hydrophilic–hydrophobic junction. Within well‐ordered nanochannels, the increased curvature of the meniscus increases the ratio of thin water layers, thereby enhancing microscale heat transfer at the heated walls; in addition, the smaller nanopores limit the development of microscale vortices at the liquid–gas interface and prevent back mixing of intermediate water at the interface, which possess the nanoscale effect on intensifying the interfacial evaporation. These effects are validated by theoretical and experimental studies. Optimized Janus (20 nm)95°/25° structure exhibits evaporation fluxes up to 2.4 kg m−2 h−1 at 45 °C (feed side)/25 °C (permeate side, ambient pressure), as the theoretical evaporation enthalpy is only 30% of that for direct evaporation. The unique Janus structure simultaneously inhibits salt accumulation and achieve self‐cleaning, thereby maintaining steady performance during 480 h of continuous desalination and 50 cycles of batch operation. This work highlights a promising structural design strategy for separation materials with specific micro/nanoscopic topologies to achieve high performance thermally driven desalination applications.

AbstractThermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials are expected to address triplet‐related losses in electrically driven organic lasers, as the electrically generated triplets in the materials can be converted to radiative singlets through reverse intersystem crossing (RISC). This offers a way to bypass triplet absorption and annihilation in organic semiconductor lasers (OSLs). In this work, two versatile TADF emitters 4tCzPz and 4αCbPz for application in organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) and OSLs are presented. Both emitters possess moderately high singlet‐triplet energy gap, ΔEST (≈0.30 eV) and show high photoluminescence quantum yields, ΦPL, in solution and solid‐state and prominent stimulated emission features in solution. Films of 4tCzPz and 4αCbPz doped in mCBP show an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) threshold of 41.0 and 44.9 µJ/cm2, respectively. The OLEDs with 4tCzPz and 4αCbPz emit with peak wavelengths of 492 and 475 nm, respectively, and show corresponding maximum external quantum efficiencies, EQEmax, of 24.6 and 21.3%. The research shows that D‐A TADF materials hold significant potential not only as emitters for OLEDs but also in OSLs.

AbstractMethylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr3) stands out as the most easily grown wide‐band‐gap metal halide perovskite. It is a promising semiconductor for room‐temperature gamma‐ray (γ‐ray) spectroscopic detectors, but no operational devices are realized. This can be largely attributed to a lack of understanding of point defects and their influence on detector performance. Here, through a combination of crystal growth design and defect characterization, including positron annihilation and impedance spectroscopy, the presence of specific point defects are identified and correlated to detector performance. Methylammonium (MA) vacancies, MA interstitials, and Pb vacancies are identified as the dominant charge‐trapping defects in MAPbBr3 crystals, while Br vacancies caused doping. The addition of excess MABr reduces the MA and Br defects and so enables the detection of energy‐resolved γ‐ray spectra using a MAPbBr3 single‐crystal device. Interestingly, the addition of formamidinium (FA) cations, which converted to methylformamidinium (MFA) cations by reaction with MA+ during crystal growth further reduced MA defects. This enabled an energy resolution of 3.9% for the 662 keV 137Cs line using a low bias of 100 V. The work provides direction toward enabling further improvements in wide‐bandgap perovskite‐based device performance by reducing detrimental defects.

AbstractGas sensors based on micro‐electromechanical systems (MEMS) offer advantages such as a broad spectrum of potentially sensitive materials and analytes, easy miniaturization and integration, high sensitivity, and low costs. This paper introduces a novel MEMS sensor platform utilizing a suspended gate field effect transistor (SGFET) transducer. In this approach, the flexible gate membrane of the SGFET is coated with a sensitive material exhibiting responsive swelling behavior. For the proof of concept, kraft lignin hydrogel is chosen as a biorenewable material for humidity sensing. A precision dispensing technique is used to deposit kraft lignin hydrogel on the SGFETs. The sensor measurements yield reversible shifts in the sensor's output current of up to 9% in response to 5000 ppm water vapor. The results successfully demonstrate the feasibility of this new sensing platform.

AbstractSpike (S) glycoprotein is the largest structural protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 virus and the main one involved in anchoring of the host receptor ACE2 through the receptor binding domain (RBD). S protein secondary structure is of great interest for shedding light on various aspects, from functionality to pathogenesis, finally to spectral fingerprint for the design of optical biosensors. In this paper, the secondary structure of SARS‐CoV‐2 S protein and its constituting components, namely RBD, S1 and S2 regions, are investigated at serological pH by measuring their amide I infrared absorption bands through Attenuated Total Reflection Infrared (ATR‐IR) spectroscopy. Experimental data in combination with MultiFOLD predictions, Define Secondary Structure of Proteins (DSSP) web server and Gravy value calculations, provide a comprehensive understanding of RBD, S1, S2, and S proteins in terms of their secondary structure content, conformational order, and interaction with the solvent.

AbstractIon conducting membranes play a crucial role in redox flow batteries, separating anolyte and catholyte while allowing proton transport to complete the circuit. However, most membranes are trapped in a trade‐off relation and show either low conductivity or high vanadium crossover. This study investigates the use of dense sulfonated para‐polybenzimidazole membranes for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), and analyzes the effects of membrane preparation process, membrane thickness and operating temperature on the VRFB performance. The results demonstrate superior performance of VRFBs utilizing fluorine‐free sulfonated para‐polybenzimidazole membranes compared to other types. Under optimal conditions, the VRFB exhibits high coulombic efficiency (>99%) and high energy efficiency (EE, 92.2% at a current density of 80 mA cm−2), and durability. The achieved EE represents one of the highest reported in the literature for VRFBs. In addition, it is shown that operation at 35 °C has benefits at high current densities (EE at 300 mA cm−2 is over 80% at 35 °C but 72% at 25 °C), while the operation at 80 mA cm−2 only shows a small temperature effect (91.8 and 92.2%, respectively).

AbstractRecent advances in the understanding of infantile developmental epileptic encephalopathies (IDEE) have revealed the association of biallelic pathogenic variants in UGDH. In this study, we report two novel combinations identified by exome sequencing: p.(Arg135Trp) with p.(Arg65*) and p.(Arg102Trp) with p.(Arg65*). Both combinations share a common pathogenic nonsense variant, with the missense variants strategically located in the NAD‐binding domain of the UGDH protein, predicted in structural models to create new interactions with the central domain. The first patient exhibited the typical UGDH‐related disease phenotype and progressive microcephaly, a rarely reported feature. In contrast, the second patient presented an atypical phenotype, including absence of seizure, severe intellectual disability, ataxic gait, and abnormal eye movements. This comprehensive analysis extends the phenotypic spectrum of UGDH syndrome beyond early infantile intractable encephalopathy to include intellectual disability without epilepsy.

AbstractElectrochemical dehydrogenation of hydroxides plays a crucial role in the formation of high‐valence metal active sites toward 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR) to produce the value‐added chemical of 2,5‐furandicarboxylic (FDCA). Herein, we construct benzoic acid ligand‐hybridized NiCo(OH)x nanowires (BZ‐NiCo(OH)x) with ample electron‐deficient Ni/Co sites for HMFOR. The robust electron‐withdrawing capability of benzoic acid ligands in BZ‐NiCo(OH)x speeds up the electrochemical activation and dehydrogenation of lattice‐hydroxyl‐groups (M2+−O−H⇌M3+−O), boosting the formation of abundant electron‐deficient and high‐valence Ni/Co sites. DFT calculation reveals that the deintercalation proton is prone to establishing a hydrogen bridge with the carbonyl group in benzoic acid, facilitating the proton transfer. Coupled with the synergistic oxidation of Ni/Co sites on hydroxyl and aldehyde groups, BZ‐NiCo(OH)x delivers a remarkable current density of 111.20 mA cm−2 at 1.4 V for HMFOR, exceeding that of NiCo(OH)x by approximately fourfold. And the FDCA yield and Faraday efficiency are as high as 95.24 % and 95.39 %, respectively. The ligand‐hybridized strategy in this work introduces a novel perspective for designing high‐performance transition metal‐based electrocatalysts for biomass conversion.

AbstractConventional approaches to creating high‐resolution electric circuits face challenges such as the requirement for skilled personnel and expensive equipment. In response, we propose an innovative strategy that leverages a photochemically modified porous polymer skeleton for in‐situ circuit fabrication. By developing maskless surface energy manipulation that guides PEDOT:PSS‐based conductive ink deposition, electric circuits with high precision, density, stability and adaptability are effortlessly engineered within or atop the porous skeleton, enabling transitions between 2D and 3D circuit configurations. This process simplifies prototyping while significantly reducing costs and maintaining efficiency, promising advancements across various technological sectors.
Improving foamability and foam stability of poly(ethylene terephthalate) through chemical modification with styrene maleic anhydride

Published: July 2024

AbstractThis study aimed to enhance the melt strength, foamability, and microstructural properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) foam by addition of styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) as a chain extender. The addition of SMA to the polymer increased the complex viscosity by 375%. The calculated dissipation factor for chain‐extended‐PET (CE‐PET) samples demonstrated a rise in polymer viscous behavior with increasing SMA content. The CE‐PET was more elastic than pure PET. Smaller oval‐shaped cells were produced with lower amounts of foaming agent/SMA, whereas higher ratios resulted in larger spree‐shaped cells. The reaction of SMA anhydrides with the end functional groups of the PET chains increased the chain length significantly followed by more entanglement. This behavior prevented cell growth during the foaming process. The confrontation between the physical and chemical forces among the PET chains and the gas pressure created by the foaming agent was the main mechanism of cell growth in the polymer matrix. This variation caused a 30% reduction in foam density. Statistical analysis revealed that CE‐PET foams with the largest cell size and lowest density were achieved with foaming agent amounts between 0.9 and 1.4 wt.% and SMA amounts between 4.7 and 7.3 wt.%.
A review of the ethical considerations for the use of 3D printed materials in medical and allied health education and a proposed collective path forward

Published: July 2024

Abstract3D scanning and printing technologies are quickly evolving and offer great potential for use in gross anatomical education. The use of human body donors to create digital scans and 3D printed models raises ethical concerns about donor informed consent, potential commodification, and access to and storage of potentially identifiable anatomical reproductions. This paper reviews available literature describing ethical implications for the application of these emerging technologies, existing published best practices for managing and sharing 2D imaging, and current adherence to these best practices by academic body donation programs. We conclude that informed consent is paramount for all uses of human donor and human donor‐derived materials and that currently there is considerable diversity in adherence to established best practices for the management and sharing of 3D digital content derived from human donors. We propose a new and simplified framework for categorizing donor‐derived teaching materials and the corresponding level of consent required for digital sharing. This framework proposes an equivalent minimum level of specific consent for human donor and human donor‐derived materials relative to generalized, nonidentical teaching materials (i.e., artificial plastic models). Likewise, we propose that the collective path forward should involve the creation of a centralized, secure repository for digital human donor 3D content as a mechanism for accumulating, regulating, and controlling the distribution of properly consented human donor‐derived 3D digital content that will also increase the availability of ethically created human‐derived teaching materials while discouraging commodification.

AbstractBackgroundThe aspect of sexual differentiation and the mechanism controlling the position of genitalia, which represents one of the most substantial differences between the sexes, is still poorly understood. Minor cases and some variants of penoscrotal transposition (PST) are unreported, and obvious cases were classified broadly and confused with other unrelated anomalies.MethodologyRelevant literature published till 2022 were reviewed then organized, recapitulated, and presented in comparison with the findings and data of 65 child diagnosed with PST. So, an integrated comprehensive approach to this uncommon condition enabled a new classification including few unreported variant cases, which were complemented.ResultsPST is classified herein into a cephalic or caudal scrotal migration, the cephalic type subdivided into major and minor subtypes the latter type subdivided into bilateral, unilateral or central subtypes. Cases of caudal scrotal regression is an unreported anomaly in which the scrotum located caudally, as constant association with epispadias/exstrophy anomalies leaving a wide distance between the fixed penis and the scrotal sacs.ConclusionPST is not rare as it was believed, it occurs in two directions; cephalic and caudal directions. Scrotal caudal regression anomaly was not described before, as well the PST presented as an inguinal hernia.

AbstractWhile surgical resection is a mainstay of cancer treatment, many tumors are unresectable due to stage, location, or comorbidities. Ablative therapies, which cause local destruction of tumors, are effective alternatives to surgical excision in several settings. Ethanol ablation is one such ablative treatment modality in which ethanol is directly injected into tumor nodules. Ethanol, however, tends to leak out of the tumor and into adjacent tissue structures, and its biodistribution is difficult to monitor in vivo. To address these challenges, this study presents a cutting‐edge technology known as Light‐Activatable Sustained‐Exposure Ethanol Injection Technology (LASEIT). LASEIT comprises a three‐part formulation: (1) ethanol, (2) benzoporphyrin derivative, which enables fluorescence‐based tracking of drug distribution and the potential application of photodynamic therapy, and (3) ethyl cellulose, which forms a gel upon injection into tissue to facilitate drug retention. In vitro drug release studies showed that ethyl cellulose slowed the rate of release in LASEIT by 7×. Injections in liver tissues demonstrated a 6× improvement in volume distribution when using LASEIT compared to controls. In vivo experiments in a mouse pancreatic cancer xenograft model showed LASEIT exhibited significantly stronger average radiant efficiency than controls and persisted in tumors for up to 7 days compared to controls, which only persisted for less than 24 h. In summary, this study introduced LASEIT as a novel technology that enabled real‐time fluorescence monitoring of drug distribution both ex vivo and in vivo. Further research exploring the efficacy of LASEIT is strongly warranted.
