Philomelos (Philomelus)
Authors: Pascual José 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Philomelos was a Phokian leader who represented the majority sentiment of the Phokians who opposed the Thebans. In 356
bce
he was elected a general with full powers by the Phokian Federal Assembly. He recruited a mercenary army and occupied the Sanctuary of Delphi, thus provoking the outbreak of the Third Sacred War. He employed the sacred treasures of Delphi to boost the number of mercenaries in his army, effectively defeating the Hesperian Lokrians and the Thessalians, but was defeated in the year 355 by the Boiotians at the Battle of Neon‐Tithorea, which is where he died.

Abstract
Hieronymos of Kardia was a friend of Eumenes and the first Antigonids, whom he served as a diplomat, commander, and governor. He wrote a history of the Wars of the Successors that has not survived but seems to have been one of the sources behind the preserved tradition.
Sympoliteia
Authors: Pascual José 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Sympoliteia
, which refers to those who share the same citizenship, can take different forms: it can refer to co‐citizenship, the citizens of the same city‐state or
polis
, or the establishment of a political community made up of more than one city‐state, a federal state, which can be independent or included in another
sympoliteia
or form part of a monarchy. The term can also refer to the unification of one state with another, without the former being entirely absorbed by the latter. Ultimately, a
sympoliteia
establishes or modifies citizenship rights.
Antiochos of Ascalon
Authors: Verde Francesco 
Published: June 2024

Abstract

Antiochos of Ascalon was a philosopher who belonged to the school founded by Plato, the Academy, and lived in the first century
bce
. He is an extremely important thinker in the history of ancient Platonism because he was a pupil of Philon of Larissa, who belonged to the so‐called Skeptical Academy. Later he distanced himself from his teacher to establish an innovative form of dogmatic Platonism incorporating as much Stoicism as philosophy of Aristotle and (partially) of Theophrastus. For this reason, Antiochos’ thought has been called “syncretistic.”
Persian wars, memory of
Authors: Yates David 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
The Persian wars were among the most remembered events in the ancient world and formed an important component of Greek and later Roman collective memory. From the beginning of Persia's intervention in the Greek world to the end of antiquity, the Greeks and Romans produced numerous commemorations that incorporated some recollection of these events. These commemorations could vary considerably and were constantly evolving. The victorious Greek states and their self‐proclaimed successors supply the majority of the surviving examples. Much less can be said of the memories that emerged in the Persian Empire and among its defeated Greek allies.
Ultra Stable Ink with Promising Areal Capacitance as Advanced Micro‐Supercapacitor and Unique Metal Absorptivity Enabled by Surface Functionalization of Titanium Carbide (MXene)

Published: June 2024

Abstract2D Ti3C2Tx‐MXenes have gained attention as highly promising materials owing to their distinctive characteristics. Even so, the limited ionic kinetics and active site exposure of these materials are hindered by the significant degradation caused by oxidation, as well as the challenges in ink formulation processability and nanosheet restacking. Here, this study presents a single‐step and economical method to embellish cysteine onto titanium carbide (MX‐C) nanosheets. Cysteine is found to facilitate the tuning of the interlayer spacing in MXene nanosheets. The idea is then applied in the development of micro‐supercapacitors (MSCs) and the removal of toxic metal ions, specifically lead. In addition, the investigation reveals that MX‐C exhibits antioxidant behavior and possesses excellent qualities as inks. The MX‐C‐printed MSC exhibits ultra‐high areal capacitance (68 mF cm−2 (<N> = 5)) and power density (170.6 µW cm−2) compared to the reported printed MSC system. Similarly, the MX‐C facilitates a high capacity for selectively adsorbing lead while also exhibiting excellent performance in terms of adsorption–desorption. The adsorption‐induced effectiveness of cysteine is additionally validated by density functional theory simulations. The versatile approach emphasizes the potential of MX‐C inks with antioxidation properties for the invention of MSCs and metal uptake for printable electronics and clean water applications, respectively.

AbstractHealthcare sensing devices enable continuous monitoring of diverse biosignals, such as respiration, heartbeat, temperature, inflammation, Electroencephalogram (EEG), and biomechanical movement, contributing to the management of health conditions and early diagnosis of diseases. However, clinically available tools have several limitations for real‐time measurement of biosignals in non‐hospital environments owing to their cumbersome, complex designs, and rigidity. To address these limitations, there has been a growing body of research that explores flexible and soft electronics for healthcare applications, which feature high mechanical compliance and adaptability. Especially, sensing devices based on fiber structures have attracted significant attention due to high flexibility, lightweight design, effective workspace and unique structural adaptability. Moreover, 1D sensing devices can be seamlessly integrated into garments and the human body with complex structures without any unconformity. In this perspective, The fabrication and electrical functionalization of fiber substrates and focus on recent advances in various fiber‐based sensing systems for strain, pressure, temperature, pH, biomarkers, and neural activity is explored. Additionally, biodegradable fiber‐based sensing devices as future healthcare technologies are briefly discussed. Finally, this article provides a summary and outlook on the remaining challenges for current fiber‐based sensing devices.

Published: June 2024

AbstractMicrothrombus is one of the major causes of the sequelae of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID‐19 and leads to subsequent embolism and necrosis. Due to their small size and irregular movements, the early detection and efficient removal of microthrombi in vivo remain a great challenge. In this work, an interventional method is developed to identify and remove the traveling microthrombi using targeted‐magnetic‐microbubbles (TMMBs) and an interventional magnetic catheter. The thrombus‐targeted drugs are coated on the TMMBs and magnetic nanoparticles are shelled inside, which allow not only targeted adhesion onto the traveling microthrombi, but also the effective capture by the magnetic catheter in the vessel. In the proof‐of‐concept experiments in the rat models, the concentration of microthrombus is reduced by more than 60% in 3 min, without damaging the organs. It is a promising method for treating microthrombus issues.

AbstractMultiplexing technology creates several orthogonal data channels and dimensions for high‐density information encoding and is irreplaceable in large‐capacity information storage, and communication, etc. The multiplexing dimensions are constructed by light attributes and spatial dimensions. However, limited by the degree of freedom of interaction between light and material structure parameters, the multiplexing dimension exploitation method is still confused. Herein, a 7D Spin‐multiplexing technique is proposed. Spin structures with four independent attributes (color center type, spin axis, spatial distribution, and dipole direction) are constructed as coding basic units. Based on the four independent spin physical effects, the corresponding photoluminescence wavelength, magnetic field, microwave, and polarization are created into four orthogonal multiplexing dimensions. Combined with the 3D of space, a 7D multiplexing method is established, which possesses the highest dimension number compared with 6 dimensions in the previous study. The basic spin unit is prepared by a self‐developed laser‐induced manufacturing process. The free state information of spin is read out by four physical quantities. Based on the multiple dimensions, the information is highly dynamically multiplexed to enhance information storage efficiency. Moreover, the high‐dynamic in situ image encryption/marking is demonstrated. It implies a new paradigm for ultra‐high‐capacity storage and real‐time encryption.

AbstractTransmembrane protein 52B (TMEM52B), a newly identified tumor‐related gene, has been reported to regulate various tumors, yet its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) remains unclear. Transcriptomic analysis of NPC cell lines reveals frequent overexpression of TMEM52B, and immunohistochemical results show that TMEM52B is associated with advanced tumor stage, recurrence, and decreased survival time. Depleting TMEM52B inhibits the proliferation, migration, invasion, and oncogenesis of NPC cells in vivo. TMEM52B encodes two isoforms, TMEM52B‐P18 and TMEM52B‐P20, differing in their N‐terminals. While both isoforms exhibit similar pro‐oncogenic roles and contribute to drug resistance in NPC, TMEM52B‐P20 differentially promotes metastasis. This functional discrepancy may be attributed to their distinct subcellular localization; TMEM52B‐P18 is confined to the cytoplasm, while TMEM52B‐P20 is found both at the cell membrane and in the cytoplasm. Mechanistically, cytoplasmic TMEM52B enhances AKT phosphorylation by interacting with phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1), fostering NPC growth and metastasis. Meanwhile, membrane‐localized TMEM52B‐P20 promotes E‐cadherin ubiquitination and degradation by facilitating its interaction with the E3 ubiquitin ligase NEDD4, further driving NPC metastasis. In conclusion, the TMEM52B‐P18 and TMEM52B‐P20 isoforms promote the metastasis of NPC cells through different mechanisms. Drugs targeting these TMEM52B isoforms may offer therapeutic benefits to cancer patients with varying degrees of metastasis.

Published: June 2024

AbstractRecognizing the essential factor governing interfacial hydrogen/oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) is central to electrocatalytic water‐splitting. Traditional strategies aiming at enhancing electrocatalytic activities have mainly focused on manipulating active site valencies or coordination environments. Herein, the role of interfacial adsorption is probed and modulated by the topological construct of the electrocatalyst, a frequently underestimated non‐Faradaic mechanism in the dynamics of electrocatalysis. The engineered Co0.75Fe0.25P nanorods, anchored with FeOx clusters, manifest a marked amplification of the surface electric field, thus delivering a substantially improved bifunctional electrocatalytic performance. In alkaline water splitting anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrolyzer, the current density of 1.0 A cm−2 can be achieved at a cell voltage of only 1.73 V for the FeOx@Co0.75Fe0.25P|| FeOx@Co0.75Fe0.25P pairs for 120 h of continuous operation at 1.0 A cm−2. Detailed investigations of electronic structures, combined with valence state and coordination geometry assessments, reveal that the enhancement of catalytic behavior in FeOx@Co0.75Fe0.25P is chiefly attributed to the strengthened adsorptive interactions prompted by the intensified electric field at the surface. The congruent effects observed in FeOx‐cluster‐decorated Co0.75Fe0.25P nanosheets underscore the ubiquity of this effect. The results put forth a compelling proposition for leveraging interfacial charge densification via deliberate cluster supplementation.

AbstractThe development of the electric vehicle industry has spurred demand for secondary batteries capable of rapid‐charging and slow‐discharging. Among them, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) with layered oxide as the cathode exhibit competitive advantages due to their comprehensive electrochemical performance. However, to meet the requirements of rapid‐charging and slow‐discharging scenarios, it is necessary to further enhance the rate performance of the cathode material to achieve symmetrical capacity at different rates. Simultaneously, minimizing lattice strain during asymmetric electrochemical processes is also significant in alleviating strain accumulation. In this study, the ordered distribution of transition metal layers and the diffusion pathway of sodium ions are optimized through targeted K‐doping of sodium layers, leading to a reduction of the diffusion barrier and endowment of prominent rate performance. At a 20C rate, the capacity of the cathode can reach 94% of that at a 0.1C rate. Additionally, the rivet effect of the sodium layers resulted in a global volume strain of only 0.03% for the modified cathode during charging at a 10C rate and discharging at a 1C rate. In summary, high‐performance SIBs, with promising prospects for rapid‐charging and slow‐discharging capability, are obtained through the regulation of sodium layers, opening up new avenues for commercial applications.

Published: June 2024

AbstractMaize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia. However, its yield is lower than its potential mainly due to low soil fertility problems caused by continuous cultivation, limited use of organic and inorganic fertilizers, erosion, and leaching. Therefore, this field experiment has been conducted to optimize brewery sludge and blended NPS fertilizer rates to harness the maximum productivity potential of maize in North Mecha District, northwestern Ethiopia. The experiment was designed in a factorial arrangement of three levels of brewery sludge (0, 10, and 20 t ha−1) and four levels of blended NPS fertilizer (0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha−1) in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The analysis of variance showed that the main effects of the blended NPS fertilizer had significant effects on the ear length, number of kernels per row, stover yield, and 1000‐kernel weight. Their interactions also had a significant effect on leaf area, leaf area index, aboveground dry biomass yield, grain yield, plant height, number of ears per plant, number of rows per ear, number of kernels per row, number of kernels per ear, and harvest index. Accordingly, the combined application of 10 t ha−1 brewery sludge and 100 kg ha−1 blended NPS fertilizer resulted in the highest grain yield (9163.4 kg ha−1), net benefit (145,590.1 ETB [Ethiopian Birr] ha−1), and marginal rate of return (3789.30%) of maize. Thus, this treatment can be tentatively recommended for the North Mecha district.

Published: June 2024

AbstractModulating lattice strain in intermetallic compounds could effectively alter their electronic structure and binding energy, thus impacting catalytic activity. Strain is usually induced through lattice mismatch, achieved by constructing core‐shell nanostructures or metal‐substrate interfaces with complex reciprocity and distractors. However, in situ induced strain without interface‐construction or lattice mismatch presents challenges. In this study, we precisely manipulate consecutive compressive strain from −0.5% to −0.8% in CoPt3Pd intermetallic compound by inducing interior atomic radius mismatch. Precise strain control results in a negative shift of d‐band center, dynamic charge distribution, and facilitates water dissociation, leading to enhanced electrocatalytic activity. The CoPt3Pd catalyst with −0.5% compressive strain exhibits exceptional hydrogen evolution activity, with an overpotential of 169 mV at 1 A cm−2. Our approach offers a straightforward method to manipulate compressive strain on intermetallic compounds by atomic size mismatch, with broad implications for catalytic processes.

AbstractIn the present study we have disclosed here that ZnO nanorod (ZnO‐NR) can effectively be used as a catalyst for various C−C bond formation reactions, i. e. allylation, as well as one‐pot three components conjugate addition and Knoevenagel‐allylation of isatins. The corresponding products were obtained with good to excellent yields under solvent‐free conditions in most cases at RT. The catalyst was successfully recycled for up to five cycles for allylation reaction and one pot three components Knoevenagel‐allylation reaction of isatin. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the structure and morphology of the catalyst.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAn efficient enantioselective synthesis of tetrahydro‐β‐carbolines (THBCs) using chiral metal‐monothiosquaramides (M–MTSQs) was planned. The in situ generated Pd/Fe‐monothiosquaramides (Pd/Fe‐MTSQs) catalysed imine reduction of dihydro‐β‐carbolines exceptionally to afford chiral THBCs with an excellent enantiomeric excess (up to 98% ee). In a catalysis study, Pd‐MTSQ 12 a (10 mol%) was found to be more efficient than Pd‐MTSQ 12 b and Fe‐MTSQs (13 a and 13 b) for enantioselective imine reduction of DHBCs 14 a–e. All the major chiral alkyl‐THBC isomers 15 a–c (90% ee, 98% ee and 95% ee, respectively) were observed with R configuration which was explained by Si face hydride attack on alkyl DHBC imines (14 a–c). Surprisingly, S configuration was perceived for the major isomers of chiral aryl‐THBCs 15 d and 15 e (95% ee and 96% ee, respectively) which was rationalized by Re face hydride attack on aryl DHBC imines (14 d and 14 e).

AbstractINTRODUCTIONTo investigate the role of a novel type of protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) in the neuroinflammation of Alzheimer's disease (AD).METHODSWe analyzed PKCδ and inflammatory cytokines levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of AD and normal controls, as well as their correlations. The cellular expression pattern of PKCδ and the effects of PKCδ modulation on microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation were evaluated by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR), western blot, RNA sequencing (RNA‐seq), and immunofluorescence staining.RESULTSPKCδ levels were increased dramatically in the CSF of AD patients and positively correlated with cytokines. PKCδ is expressed mainly in microglia in the brain. Amyloid beta (Aβ) stimulation increased PKCδ expression and secretion, which led to upregulation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) pathway and overproduction of proinflammatory cytokines. Downregulation or inhibition of PKCδ attenuated Aβ‐induced microglial responses and improved cognitive function in an AD mouse model.DISCUSSIONOur study identifies PKCδ as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation in AD.HighlightsProtein kinase C delta (PKCδ) levels increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), and positively correlate with elevated inflammatory cytokines in human subjects.PKCδ is expressed mainly in microglia in vivo, whereas amyloid beta (Aβ) stimulation increases PKCδ expression and secretion, causing upregulation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF‐κB) pathway and production of inflammatory cytokines.Downregulation or inhibition of PKCδ attenuates Aβ‐enhanced NF‐κB signaling and cytokine production in microglia and improves cognitive function in AD mice.PKCδ serves as a potential biomarker and therapeutic target for microglia‐mediated neuroinflammation in AD.
