AbstractCompositional complex alloys, including high and medium‐entropy alloys (HEAs/MEAs) have displayed significant potential as efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), but their structure‐activity relationship remains unclear. In particular, the basic question of which crystal facets are more active, especially considering the surface reconstructions, has yet to be answered. This study demonstrates that the lowest index {100} facets of FeCoNiCr MEAs exhibit the highest activity. The underlying mechanism associated with the {100} facet's low in‐plane density, making it easier to surface reconstruction and form amorphous structures containing the true active species is uncovered. These results are validated by experiments on single crystals and polycrystal MEAs, as well as DFT calculations. The discoveries contribute to a fundamental comprehension of MEAs in electrocatalysis and offer physics‐based strategies for developing electrocatalysts.

AbstractThe study explored the performance of hybrid and population rye (Secale cereale) cultivars under two different crop management intensities in Poland: moderate‐intensity and high‐intensity management. The focus was grain yield, grain quality, yield components, and variety stability in two growing seasons (2018/2019 and 2019/2020) at three locations. Hybrid cultivars consistently yielded higher grain yields (9.81 t ha−1) than population cultivars (7.90 t ha−1), with increase of 24.9%. However, hybrid cultivars had lower protein content (8.94%) than population cultivars (9.77%). Spike number was the most influential factor on yield, followed by 1000‐grain weight and grains per spike, regardless of cultivar type. Hybrid cultivars displayed a lower degree of stability as assessed using the ranking sum of the Shukla variance and the multi‐trait stability index. Hybrid cultivars were strongly dependent on resistance to fungal diseases, including Septoria (Mycosphaerella graminicola), and increased stability under moderate‐intensity management. Resistance to soil acidification became more important for cultivar stability under high‐intensity management.

AbstractThe design and preparation of lightweight and flexible electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding composites with high efficiency and low reflection are critical to the electronic field. First, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were vacuum filtered on the electrospun thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous film. Then, by combining the adhesive with the electrospun silicon carbide nanowhisker (SiCnw) @TPU composite fibrous film, the asymmetric EMI shielding composite films with high electromagnetic shielding efficiency (EMI SE) and low incident power were obtained. The lower AgNWs‐TPU layer provides the primary EMI SE, and the upper SiCnw@TPU fibrous film is used for electromagnetic wave absorption. This unique asymmetric structure, the synergistic effect of SiCnw's particular absorbing function and the excellent conductivity of the AgNWs layer make the film show high overall SE (SET = 55.18 dB). In order to improve the absorption effect of the composite film, the number of layers of SiCnw@TPU was adjusted, resulting in a final reflection coefficient value as low as 0.55. This work proposes a new strategy for developing EMI shielding composite films with high efficiency and low reflection, serving as a reference.

Published: July 2024

AbstractSelf‐healing research based on commercial polymeric materials (such as polyurethane) is beneficial to sustainable development by prolonging the life of materials. However, developing polymeric materials that integrate robust mechanical properties with self‐healing ability at ambient temperature remains a formidable challenge. The formation of polymeric materials by physically and chemically dual crosslinking structures is a powerful method to improve mechanical properties. Herein, a series of dual crosslinking self‐healing polyurethane have been designed and successfully synthesized by incorporating 2‐ureido‐4[1H]‐pyrimidinone (UPy) units and triethanolamine (TEOA) into the polymer networks. Relying on the reinforcement of chemical crosslinking which is induced by TEOA, the resulting polyurethane exhibited robust strength of 10.3 MPa and elongation at break of 569.4%, which are quite prominent compared with previous reports. At the same time, the recombination of hydrogen bonds makes the polyurethane with UPy structure achieve rapid self‐healing after 24 h at 40°C and the strength recovered to 4.98 MPa. This work provided a novel way to fabricate sustainable polyurethane with robust mechanical properties.

AbstractCellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) can self‐assemble to form cholesteric liquid crystal, which make it one of the most promising optical materials at present. CNCs can be produced by sulfuric acid hydrolysis. It is found that hydrolysis conditions influence the existing form of reaction components and their reaction activities, which leads to different reaction routes and mechanisms under varied reaction conditions, with CNCs of varied quality produced. High‐quality CNC with more uniform particle size could be prepared at a critical acid concentration of 64 wt%, which was used to study the formation process of CNC liquid crystal and the structure regulation of cholesteric liquid crystal. By adjusting the drying temperature and adding a small molecule of water‐soluble chitosan (WSC) can well regulate cholesteric liquid crystal and change the pitch of a film, and the reflection wavelength can be redshifted, thus enriching texture patterns and creating distinctive color. Suitable addition of WSC can enhance the multi‐domain effect during liquid crystal formation process and finally creates more colorful film with fine texture. The rich and tunable liquid crystal characteristics endowed by WSC addition is irreplicable and artistic, which helps to realize the great potential application of the composite film in advanced anti‐counterfeiting.

AbstractIn cells, microtubules (MTs) assemble from α/β‐tubulin subunits at nucleation sites containing the γ‐tubulin ring complex (γ‐TuRC). Within the γ‐TuRC, exposed γ‐tubulin molecules act as templates for MT assembly by interacting with α/β‐tubulin. The vertebrate γ‐TuRC is scaffolded by γ‐tubulin‐interacting proteins GCP2‐6 arranged in a specific order. Interestingly, the γ‐tubulin molecules in the γ‐TuRC deviate from the cylindrical geometry of MTs, raising the question of how the γ‐TuRC structure changes during MT nucleation. Recent studies on the structure of the vertebrate γ‐TuRC attached to the end of MTs came to varying conclusions. In vitro assembly of MTs, facilitated by an α‐tubulin mutant, resulted in a closed, cylindrical γ‐TuRC showing canonical interactions between all γ‐tubulin molecules and α/β‐tubulin subunits. Conversely, native MTs formed in a frog extract were capped by a partially closed γ‐TuRC, with some γ‐tubulin molecules failing to align with α/β‐tubulin. This review discusses these outcomes, along with the broader implications.
A review of applied behavior analysis within the criminal justice system
Authors: McDonald Emily R. , Hanson Robbie J. 
Published: July 2024

AbstractMass incarceration rates have become a financial burden on the country and in 2023, the United States was faced with one of the highest recidivism rates worldwide, with approximately 44% of individuals returning to prison within a year of their release. Although various programs are available to incarcerated individuals and for those considered at risk for offending, access to these programs varies by jurisdiction and the effectiveness in preventing offenses, reducing recidivism, and fostering rehabilitation is not entirely known. In response to recidivism and incarceration rates, there has been a plea for a change in the criminal justice system, with an emphasis on involving behavior analysts. However, the extent of the application of behavior‐analytic interventions within the criminal justice system in the research literature is unclear. Thus, the purpose of the current review was to examine the existing experimental literature to determine the state of this research topic.

Enhancing sustainable supply chains through traceability, transparency and stakeholder collaboration: A quantitative analysis
Authors: Garcia‐Torres Sofia , Rey‐Garcia Marta , Sáenz Josune 
Published: July 2024

AbstractTraceability and transparency are essential for sustainability in complex global supply chains (SCs), but they remain elusive goals in practice. Scholars and practitioners consistently advocate collaboration amongst SC stakeholders as a means of enhancing them, yet little is known regarding their interrelation and contribution to sustainability. We adopt the SC practice‐based view (SCPV) to propose and test an explanatory model elucidating how to deploy collaboration, traceability and transparency to achieve triple bottom line (TBL) performance within global SCs. Focusing on the paramount example of complex fashion‐apparel SCs, we analyse the insights gained from 139 suppliers—typically ignored in favour of focal firms—using Partial Least Squares Structural Equations Modelling. Our results provide a concrete battery of not‐necessarily complex or inimitable activities empirically proven to help put traceability and transparency into practice to achieve TBL performance. The SCPV approach contends that everyday practices, activities and relationships amongst SC stakeholders underpin TBL performance.

AbstractTissue engineering has emerged as a promising avenue for reconstructive urology, though only a limited number of tissue‐engineered urethral constructs have advanced to clinical testing. Presently, there exists a dearth of agreement regarding the most promising constructs deserving of implementation in clinical practice. The objective of this review was to provide a comprehensive analysis of preclinical trials findings of a tissue‐engineered urethra and to identify the most promising constructs for future translation into clinical practice. A systematic search of the Pubmed, Scopus, and PMC databases was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Manuscripts published in English between 2015 and 2022, reporting on the methodology for creating a tissue‐engineered urethra, assessing the regenerative potential of the scaffold in a male animal model, and evaluating the clinical and histological outcomes of treatment, were included. A total of 48 manuscripts met the inclusion criteria, with 12 being eligible for meta‐analysis. Meta‐analysis revealed no significant benefit of any matrix type in terms of complication rates. However, acellular matrices demonstrated significant advantage over cellular matrices in case of no postoperative stricture formation (odds ratio = 0.06 [95% CI 0.01; 0.23], p < 0.01). Among all subgroups (animal models and scaffold types), the usage of acellular matrices resulted in advantageous effects. The meta‐regression analysis did not show a significant impact of defect length (β1 = −0.02 [−0.28; 0.23], p = 0.86). We found that decellularized materials may carry less relevance for urethral reconstruction due to unfavorable preclinical outcomes. Natural polymers, used independently or with synthetic materials, resulted in better postoperative outcomes in animals compared to purely synthetic constructs. Acellular scaffolds showed promising outcomes, matching or exceeding cellular constructs. However, more studies are needed to confirm their clinical effectiveness.

AbstractBackgroundThe presence of lymph node (LN) metastasis directly affects the treatment strategy for lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has been widely used in patients with advanced LUAD to identify targeted genes, while early detection of pathologic LN metastasis using NGS has not been assessed.MethodsClinicopathologic features and molecular characteristics of 224 patients from Ruijin Hospital were analyzed to detect factors associated with LN metastases. Another 140 patients from Huashan Hospital were set as a test cohort.ResultsTwenty‐four out of 224 patients were found to have lymph node metastases (10.7%). Pathologic LN‐positive tumors showed higher mutant allele tumor heterogeneity (p < 0.05), higher tumor mutation burden (p < 0.001), as well as more frequent KEAP1 (p = 0.001), STK11 (p = 0.004), KRAS (p = 0.007), CTNNB1 (p = 0.017), TP53, and ARID2 mutations (both p = 0.02); whereas low frequency of EGFR mutation (p = 0.005). A predictive nomogram involving male sex, solid tumor morphology, higher T stage, EGFR wild‐type, and TP53, STK11, CDKN2A, KEAP1, ARID2, KRAS, SDHA, SPEN, CTNNB1, DICER1 mutations showed outstanding efficiency in both the training cohort (AUC = 0.819) and the test cohort (AUC = 0.780).ConclusionThis study suggests that the integration of genomic profiling and clinical features identifies early‐invasive LUAD patients at higher risk of LN metastasis. Improved identification of LN metastasis is beneficial for the optimization of the patient's therapy decisions.

AbstractBackgroundTen to fifteen percent of chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) are unsuccessful in contemporary practice. Subintimal tracking and re‐entry (STAR) (one form of “investment procedure”) with staged reattempt and stenting may further increase the ultimate success and safety of CTO as a bailout strategy. The optimal timing for staged stenting after STAR is unknown.Methods and ResultsWe designed a six‐center, prospective randomized trial with a planned enrollment of 150 patients where STAR is utilized in case of impending failure. The primary aim is to evaluate the optimal timing of the staged PCI after STAR by randomizing the timing to earlier (5–7 weeks) versus later (12–14 weeks) staged PCI. The primary endpoint of the study is the technical success rate of the staged procedure. The secondary endpoints include: (1) the rate of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 3 flow at the start of staged intervention, (2) rate of partial technical and procedural success of the staged procedure, (3) rate of in‐hospital and 12‐month major cardiac and cerebrovascular adverse events, and (4) change in patient‐reported quality at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months assessed by Seattle Angina Questionnaire.ConclusionThis study will ascertain the optimal timing of staged stenting after bail‐out STAR approach in contemporary CTO PCI (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05089864).

Published: July 2024

AbstractNucleosidic diarylethenes (DAEs) have evolved from an emerging class of photochromes into a well‐established option for integrating photochromic functionalities into biological systems. However, a comprehensive understanding of how chemical structure influences their photochromic properties remains essential. While structural features, such as an inverse connection between the aryl residues and the ethene bridge, are well‐documented for classical DAEs, their application to nucleosidic DAEs has been underexplored. In this study, we address this gap by developing three distinct types of inverse nucleosidic DAEs–semi‐inverse thiophenes, semi‐inverse uridines and inverse uridines. We successfully synthesized these compounds and conducted comprehensive analyses of their photostationary states, thermal stability, reversibility, and reaction quantum yields. Additionally, we conducted an in‐depth comparison of their photochromic properties with those of their normal‐type counterparts. Among the synthesized compounds, seven semi‐inverse thiophenes exhibited the most promising characteristics. Notably, these compounds demonstrated excellent fatigue resistance, with up to 96 % retention of photochromic activity over 40 switching cycles, surpassing the performance of all comparable nucleosidic DAEs reported to date. These findings hold significant promise for future applications in various fields.

Published: July 2024

AbstractLow temperature has been a major challenge for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) to maintain satisfied electrochemical performance, and the main reason is the deactivation of electrolyte with the decreasing temperature. To address this point, in present work, we develop a low‐temperature resistant electrolyte which includes ethyl acetate (EA) and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) as solvent and lithium difluoro(oxalato)borate (LiDFOB) as the primary lithium salt. Due to the preferential decomposition of LiDFOB and FEC, a solid electrolyte interface rich in LiF is formed on the lithium metal anodes (LMAs) and lithium cobalt oxide (LCO) cathodes, contributing to higher stability and rapid desolvation of Li+ ions. The batteries with the optimized electrolyte can undergo cycling tests at −40 °C, with a capacity retention of 83.9 % after 200 cycles. Furthermore, the optimized electrolyte exhibits excellent compatibility with both LCO cathodes and graphite (Gr) anodes, enabling a Gr/LCO battery to maintain a capacity retention of 90.3 % after multiple cycles at −25 °C. This work proposes a cost‐effective electrolyte that can activate potential LIBs in practical scenarios, especially in low‐temperature environments.

Published: July 2024

AbstractHypervalent iodine reagents are versatile and readily accessible reagents that have been extensively applied in contemporary synthesis in modern organic chemistry. Among them, iodonitrene (ArI=NR), is a powerful reactive species, widely used for a single‐nitrogen‐atom insertion reaction, and skeletal editing to construct N‐heterocycles. Skeletal editing with reactive iodonitrene components has recently emerged as an exciting approach in modern chemical transformation. These reagents have been extensively used to produce biologically relevant heterocycles and functionalized molecular architectures. Recently, the insertion of a nitrogen‐atom into hydrocarbons to generate N‐heterocyclic compounds using hypervalent iodine reagents has been a significant focus in the field of molecular editing reactions. In this review, we discuss the rapidly emerging field of nitrene insertion, including skeletal editing and nitrogen insertion, using hypervalent iodine reagents to access nitrogen‐containing heterocycles, and the current mechanistic understanding of these processes.

Published: July 2024

AbstractAlthough MoS2 quantum dots with abundant edge sites have been regarded as promising eletrode materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), their electrocatalytic capacity still requires improvements in actual applications. Herein. we demonstrate a controllable and robust bottom‐up approach to build 3D crosslinked graphene‐Ti3C2Tx MXene frameworks decorated with MoS2 quantum dots (MQD/RGO‐MX) via a convenient co‐assembly process. The novel structural design gives the MQD/RGO‐MX nanoarchitectures a series of superior textural attributes, including 3D interconnected networks, continuous meso‐ and macropores, well‐dispersed quantum dots, ameliorative electronic configuration, and excellent electrical conductivity. Accordingly, the resulting hybrid nanoarchitectures express superior electrocatalytic properties in terms of a low onset potential of only 45 mV, a small Tafel slope of 61 mV dec−1 as well as a long service life towards the HER, which make it quite competitive against bare MoS2 quantum dots, MXene as well as binary MQD/RGO and MQD/MXene electrocatalysts.
