Authors: Yurdakul Nazife Sefi , Ugurlu Seyda 
Published: May 2013

Purpose:
To evaluate the possible risk factors in patients with consecutive exotropia following esotropia surgery.

Methods:
Medical records of patients who had comitant esotropia surgery between June 1999 and April 2011 were reviewed. Those who developed consecutive exotropia composed the exotropia group; patients matched for age and duration of follow-up who did not develop consecutive exotropia composed the no exotropia group. The charts of the patients were reviewed and possible risk factors for development of consecutive exotropia were investigated.

Results:

The average ages of 47 patients in the exotropia group and 54 patients in the no exotropia group were 10.8 ± 8.7 years (range: 1 to 41 years) and 8.5 ± 6.3 years (range: 1 to 30 years), respectively (
P
= .292). Amblyopia was detected in 31 (66%) and 12 (22.2%) patients in the exotropia and no exotropia groups, respectively (
P
= .004). Anisometropia was observed in 20 patients (42.6%) in the exotropia group and 5 patients (9.3%) in the no exotropia group (
P
= .003). Preoperative average esodeviation values were 42.5 ± 8.3 prism diopters (PD) (range: 25 to 60 PD) in the exotropia group and 42 ± 9.4 PD (range: 20 to 65 PD) in the no exotropia group (
P
= .673). Postoperative deviations were 32.8 ± 23 PD exotropia (range: 10 to 90 PD exotropia) in the exotropia group and 4.4 ± 4.2 PD esotropia (range: 0 to 10 PD esotropia) in the no exotropia group (
P
= .000). Asymmetric surgery had been performed in 61.7% of the exotropia group (n = 29) and 9.3% of the no exotropia group (n = 5) (
P
= .000). Limitation of adduction was detected in 14 patients (29.8%) in the exotropia group; none was noted in the no exotropia group (
P
= .000). The mean interval between the initial surgery and the onset of consecutive exotropia was 11.1 ± 15.1 months (range: 0 to 126 months).

Conclusions:
Anisometropia, amblyopia, asymmetric surgery, and postoperative adduction deficit were associated with the development of consecutive exotropia. Long-term follow-up should be considered because consecutive exotropia can develop after months or years.

Social Support for European Rail Liberalization Policy
Authors: Ludvigsen Johanna , Brechan Inge , Klæboe Ronny 
Published: May 2013

AbstractDespite many unmet welfare needs a survey of 2,429 citizens from 10 European Union countries revealed strong support for European freight railways as a means to reduce socioenvironmental harms of motorized transportation, even if this would diminish funds for national necessities. The results disclosed that popular support for European railways was best explained by (1) respondents' belief in railways' ability to reduce truck-induced damage in their local and national communities, (2) the fear of future deterioration of socioenvironmental harms, and (3) strong identification with Europe. However, the willingness to spend national money on European railways was not based on social altruism, but rather on enlightened self-interests understood as a temporal renunciation of other welfare needs for protecting the local and national communities from freight truck transport. These outcomes support the national and European policymakers in spending public means on European railways even if many other domestic necessities remain temporary unmet.

Published: May 2013

AbstractAs coastal production costs in China rise, producers are moving inland to remain competitive with other Asian countries. As a result, Chinese sea ports are rapidly developing dry (i.e., inland) ports to compete for hinterland access. Yet the growing body of research examining dry ports has yet to analyze China. This article fills this gap by combining practitioner interviews, publicly available data, and industry and academic literature to provide an overview of dry ports in China. The article discusses the recent active development of dry ports in China and summarizes the existing dry port network. Motivations for further dry port development are identified, including port competition, inland production, domestic consumption, logistics costs, and the environment. Challenges with dry port expansion such as rail, inland waterways, and actor coordination are reviewed, and opportunities for further research are highlighted.

AbstractRisk-mitigating carrier-selection criteria are identified in order to improve the safety and the quality of modern food supply chains. Our primary objectives are to prompt shippers to consider transportation carrier qualities that will facilitate and secure food safety, identify industry standards that will reduce risk in food supply chains, and enable carriers to differentiate themselves through risk management characteristics. Drawing on US government guidelines, practitioner publications, and academic literature, we offer transportation carrier-selection criteria factors based on best practices in food supply chain management. These risk-mitigating -selection criteria include traceability, transparency, testability, time, trustworthiness, and training. Several food supply chain disasters are identified to demonstrate the critical role that carriers play in minimizing risks and responding to disruptions. Managerial implications and future research opportunities are also identified.
Oz, la prison et l’art de la fugue
Authors: Jost François 
Published: May 2013

La série Oz met en scène un prisonnier, Augustus Hill, dans une sorte de cage transparente, s’adressant au téléspectateur au début, à la fin et au coeur de chaque épisode. À première vue, il est hors-diégèse et ses propos entretiennent une relation sémantique avec l’épisode. En réalité, cette « cellule narrative » est à la fois un espace immune et un sas entre le monde extérieur et la prison, puis entre le monde des morts et le monde des vivants. L’auteur du présent article étudie d’abord les multiples variations des interventions de Hill, tant d’un point de vue iconique que plastique. Si celles-ci sont l’objet d’une constante re-création, paradoxalement, elles ont une fonction rhétorique qui n’est pas loin de caractériser les séries américaines en tant qu’elles sont américaines, et qui trouve ses racines dans une tradition littéraire anglo-saxonne, celle du commonplace book. La particularité d’Oz est de construire sa narration sur la pierre angulaire de l’intimité télévisuelle : le regard-caméra. Par cette analyse, l’auteur cherche à montrer que, pour comprendre les séries comme des objets télévisuels, il faut les remettre dans leur contexte et examiner leur finalité, soit leur diffusion programmée sur un média qui accompagne le téléspectateur dans sa temporalité.
Les séries télévisées et l’esthétique carnavalesque
Authors: Esquenazi Jean-Pierre 
Published: May 2013

Dans son livre sur Rabelais, Mikhaïl Bakhtine pose les principes d’une esthétique carnavalesque qui serait à l’origine de l’ensemble de la littérature « hétéroglossique », c’est-à-dire capable de brasser les discours peuplant un univers social. L’auteur établit un parallèle entre ces écrits et certaines fictions télévisuelles où se manifestent les traits caractéristiques du carnavalesque (la grossièreté, le brassage des genres, la conquête d’un point de vue discordant, l’impertinence envers les puissances), inspirés par le bref renversement social que constituent les carnavals au Moyen Âge. L’auteur propose de regarder un moment de l’histoire des séries télévisées à travers la perspective carnavalesque, capable selon lui de rendre compte du projet de ces séries. L’auteur étudie en détail la narration de deux séries carnavalesques :The Simpsons(1989-…) etBoston Legal(2004-2008). Dans la première, la narration fait d’une petite ville fictive, Springfield, un microcosme des attitudes et des stéréotypes américains aperçus à travers la loupe de la famille Simpson. Dans la seconde, des juristes obsédés, obsessionnels et pervers se confrontent aux douleurs d’une Amérique vacillante.

Published: July 2024

AbstractFluoride ion batteries (FIBs) are regarded as one of the most promising candidates for next‐generation energy storage systems to achieve lower cost and higher energy density. However, the appropriate electrolyte design strategy is still lacking for FIBs to simultaneously settle the issues of fluoride salt dissolution and metal cation shuttle. Herein, a novel fluoride ion shuttle electrolyte with the synergistic high‐donor solvent (N, N‐dimethylacetamide, DMA) and alcohol anion acceptor (benzyl alcohol, BA) is developed. BA enables the promotion of solubility of inorganic fluoride salt (CsF). Meanwhile, benefiting from the re‐configuration of hydrogen bonding network by DMA, the solvation structures of anions and cations are regulated with reduced hindrance to F− shuttle and mitigated dissolution of active material. This electrolyte formation achieves superior interfacial stability with cathode, high F− conductivity (2.05 mS cm−1), and transference number (0.53). After matching CuF2 cathode and Pb anode, the full cell exhibits the highly reversible conversion reaction process with an initial discharge capacity of 300.8 mAh g−1 and a reversible capacity of 245.5 mAh g−1 after 43 cycles. This study proposes a solution to high‐performance rechargeable FIBs at room temperature by synergistically manipulating the anionic and cationic solvation chemistry.

AbstractCubeSat and small satellites play a very important role in modern space exploration. Their success and diverse capabilities rely on the development of efficient and compact sub‐systems. This task is not trivial due to multiple challenges posed by their small size and mass, and the solution calls for conceptually new designs for the fabrication and integration of complex miniaturized satellite components. The importance of additive techniques in small satellite manufacturing is steadily increasing as they enable rapid, large‐scale production of sophisticated architectures, such as hollow, webbed parts with a cell‐like structure similar to animal bone, with lower mass and improved functionality. Moreover, these architectures feature higher strength, enhanced heat transfer, and efficient thermal and electromagnetic radiation shielding. When compared to traditional subtractive technologies like cutting and milling, additive manufacturing proves to be more versatile and effective in realizing architectures with an increasing intricacy of shapes, structures, and compositions. The perspective explores the suitability of 3D printing in various satellite production tasks, including the propulsion system components and satellite elements. Looking ahead, the challenges and advantages of integrating 3D printing technology into satellite production, emphasizing the need for continuous development through consolidated, proactive collaborative efforts of many devoted teams are outlined.

Published: July 2024

AbstractThe synthesis of ultrafine metal nanoparticles and their integration onto 2D nanomaterials have attracted significant interest due to their outstanding chemical and electrochemical activity. Among 2D materials, MXenes have emerged as promising candidates for hybridization owing to their abundant surface nucleation sites and high electrical conductivity. However, achieving uniform growth of ultrafine metal nanoparticles on MXene surfaces remains a challenge due to non‐uniform metal nucleation and growth behaviors. In this study, a novel coordination‐assisted surface functionalization method is presented to graft organic ligands onto MXene, promoting the uniform growth of ultrafine metal nanoparticles. By leveraging the mutual attraction between metal ions, organic ligands, and MXene surface functional groups, MXene surfaces are efficiently functionalized through palladium coordination complexes. Subsequent ligand‐induced growth facilitated the uniform nucleation of ultrafine metal nanoparticles, resulting in densely anchored nanoparticles of 1–3 nm in size on MXene. Comprehensive characterizations reveal the effectiveness of the method, demonstrating exceptional properties of the MXene‐metal nanoparticle hybrid, particularly in hydrogen sensing applications. This study highlights the potential of coordination‐assisted surface functionalization for the controlled synthesis of MXene‐based nanomaterials with tailored properties for diverse applications.

AbstractAdvanced electronics and telecommunication devices rely on electromagnetic (EM) waves of a wide frequency range during their operation, thereby necessitating the development of efficient and ultrathin materials for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding across multispectral EM waves, particularly those exceeding 100 GHz, equivalent to millimeter wavelengths. Here, this study reveals that highly crystalline Ti3C2TxMXene exhibits excellent EMI shielding performance across a multispectral frequency range from 100 kHz to 110 GHz, along with outstanding environmental stability and processability for solution coating and film fabrication. Notably, the highly crystalline Ti3C2TxMXene films exhibit the highest electrical conductivity (18,000 S cm−1) and remarkable environmental stability (maintaining >95% electrical conductivity over one year), coupled with effective EMI shielding (up to 106 dB at 110 GHz with an ultrathin thickness of 10 µm), surpassing five other MXenes, including Nb2CTx, V2CTx, conv.‐Ti3C2Tx, Ti3CNTx, and Mo2Ti2C3Tx, and different synthetic materials. Furthermore, increasing the thickness, electrical conductivity, and frequency enhances the shielding performance. These results demonstrate the potential of applying MXenes to next‐generation portable electronics, radar systems, and autonomous vehicles. This study also provides insight into the fundamental shielding mechanisms related to material thickness, electrical conductivity, and frequency of EM waves.

AbstractChronic wounds adversely affect the quality of life. Although electrical stimulation has been utilized to treat chronic wounds, there are still limitations to practicing it due to the complicated power system. Herein, an electrostimulating membrane incorporated with electrospun nanofiber (M‐sheet) to treat diabetic wounds is developed. Through the screen printing method, the various alternate patterns of both Zn and AgCl on a polyurethane substrate, generating redox‐mediated electrical fields are introduced. The antibacterial ability of the patterned membrane against both E. coli and S. aureus is confirmed. Furthermore, the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/gelatin electrospun fiber is incorporated into the patterned membrane to enhance biocompatibility and maintain the wet condition in the wound environment. The M‐sheet can improve cell proliferation and migration in vitro and has an immune regulatory effect by inducing the polarization of macrophage to the M2 phenotype. Finally, when applied to a diabetic skin wound model, the M‐sheet displays an accelerated wound healing rate and enhances re‐epithelialization, collagen synthesis, and angiogenesis. It suggests that the M‐sheet is a simple and portable system for the spontaneous generation of electrical stimulation and has great potential to be used in the practical wound and other tissue engineering applications.

AbstractBenefiting from their large second‐order nonlinear coefficients and high integration capabilities, crystalline lithium niobate (LN) films have shown great application prospects in the field of nonlinear metasurfaces. It is necessary to endow LN metasurfaces with optical resonances to further boost nonlinear optical responses. Among these optical resonances, anapole resonances carried by LN metasurfaces have been predicted to efficiently enhance second harmonic generations (SHG) but have never been experimentally realized. Anapole resonance requires ideal nanostructures to have steep sidewalls and a high filling ratio, but the intrinsic hardness and inert chemical properties of LN materials pose great challenges for the fabrication of LN nanostructures. Here, a multi‐gas component dry‐etching technique is proposed to prepare various LN nanostructures, achieving typical LN nanopillar arrays with a sidewall angle of ≈85° at a depth of 300 nm and a filling ratio of 52%. Importantly, nanostructured LN metasurfaces are designed and fabricated to experimentally realize anapole resonances at a fundamental wavelength of ≈800 nm, demonstrating a ≈30‐fold enhancement in second harmonic generation compared with bare LN films. The work provides promising strategies for the versatile fabrication of LN nanostructures and their applications in nonlinear meta‐optics.
Tunable Ion Conductivity in Defect‐Controlled Graphene Nanochannels

Published: July 2024

AbstractMany novel transport phenomena are observed in graphene nanochannels with ultrahigh surface flatness and nano‐ or sub‐nanoscale constraints. Two critical physical parameters, surface slip length, and surface charge, play a vital role in the channel transport process. However, effectively controlling these parameters under such tight constraints remains a significant challenge. Here, it is developed a novel method that combines oxygen ion etching and layer‐by‐layer assembly of 2D material, to prepare graphene nanochannels. During the assembly process, defects are introduced into the graphene surface via oxygen ion etching. A significantly higher conductivity is observed for the pristine graphene channels compared to those with defects on both the upper and lower surfaces. Consistent with this observation, the conductivity of graphene channels with defects on only one surface falls between the two aforementioned values. Combined with theoretical analysis, the conductivity difference is attributed to the surface slip inhibition due to the introduced defects, and the change of surface charge, both caused by oxygen ion etching. By introducing defects, a new method is uncovered for fine‐tuning ion transport in graphene nanochannels.

AbstractDirect recycling is a key technology for enabling a circular economy of spent lithium ion batteries (LIBs). For cathode active materials (CAMs), it is regarded as the tightest closed‐loop and most efficient approach among current recycling techniques as it simply proceeds via re‐lithiation and reconstruction of aged CAMs instead of separating them into elemental components. In this work, spent, i.e., morphologically and structurally decomposed CAM based on LiNi0.83Co0.12Mn0.05O2 (NCM‐831205) is restored by mimicking conditions of original CAM synthesis. After evaluating and optimizing the high‐temperature duration for CAM restoration and subsequent washing procedure, the recycled CAM is shown to maintain poly‐crystallinity and tap density, successfully recover specific surface area, lithium content, crystal structure in surface and bulk, while, however, only partly the original secondary particle size and shape. Though, comparable in initial 100 charge/discharge cycles with pristine CAM in lithium ion‐cells, the subsequent increase in resistance and capacity fading remains a challenge. High temperature during recycling can be regarded as a key challenge on material level, as it not only promotes detrimental surface carbonate species from residual carbon black but also enhances cation disorder and micro‐/nanoscopic porosity through oxygen release, likely in de‐lithiated, thus less thermally stable regions of cycled NCM.
Plastid genome evolution in leafless members of the orchid subfamily Orchidoideae, with a focus on Degranvillea dermaptera

Published: July 2024

AbstractPremiseLeafless, heterotrophic plants are prime examples of organismal modification, the genomic consequences of which have received considerable interest. In particular, plastid genomes (plastomes) are being sequenced at a high rate, allowing continual refinement of conceptual models of reductive evolution in heterotrophs. However, numerous sampling gaps exist, hindering the ability to conduct comprehensive phylogenomic analyses in these plants.MethodsUsing floral tissue from an herbarium specimen, we sequenced and analyzed the plastome of Degranvillea dermaptera, a rarely collected, leafless orchid species from South America about which little is known, including its phylogenetic affinities.ResultsThe plastome is the most reduced of those sequenced among the orchid subfamily Orchidoideae. In Degranvillea, it has lost the majority of genes found in leafy autotrophic species, is structurally rearranged, and has similar gene content to the most reduced plastomes among the orchids. We found strong evidence for the placement of Degranvillea within the subtribe Spiranthinae using models that explicitly account for heterotachy, or lineage‐specific evolutionary rate variation over time. We further found evidence of relaxed selection on several genes and of correlations among substitution rates and several other “traits” of the plastome among leafless members of orchid subfamily Orchidoideae.ConclusionsOur findings advance knowledge on the phylogenetic relationships and paths of plastid genome evolution among the orchids, which have experienced more independent transitions to heterotrophy than any other plant family. This study demonstrates the importance of herbarium collections in comparative genomics of poorly known species of conservation concern.
