Published: February 2025

AbstractThe burgeoning advancements in near‐eye display devices intensify attention to ultra‐high‐resolution display technology. Due to the outstanding properties including high color purity, low turn‐on voltage, solution processability, etc., quantum dot light‐emitting diodes (QLEDs) are among the most promising candidates for next‐generation displays. This study proposes a novel strategy to construct QLED devices with designable patterns by adjusting the energy level alignment and corresponding carrier transport behavior. As a proof‐of‐concept, patterned hole injection layers (HIL) based on photosensitive poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(4‐styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) composite are prepared by direct photolithography. Noteworthily, the red QLED devices with optimized photolithographic HIL exhibit an increased external quantum efficiency, from 17.2% to 18.4%, and an extended operational lifetime (T95 at 1,000 cd m−2), from 471 to 827 h. Subsequently, three primary color QLED devices with above 3,300 DPI (dot per inch) are successfully achieved by utilizing pixelated HIL, paving the technical foundation for developing ultra‐high resolution QLED displays.

AbstractInfected bone defects are a growing global health issue, with risks including bone destruction, disability, and even death. The main clinical challenge is the difficulty in simultaneously achieving effective antibacterial action and promoting bone regeneration. Calcination at 800°C induces a phase transition from cubic (C‐BSTO) to polarized tetragonal (T‐BSTO), imparting piezoelectric properties. Subsequent treatment with sodium borohydride generates oxygen vacancies, enhancing polarization and piezoelectric performance. The synthesized T‐BSTO‐Vo achieves 99.83% antibacterial efficiency against methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) under 1.5 W cm² ultrasound (US) irradiation for 20 min. Mild US irradiation activates a piezoelectric signal, promoting Schwann cell (SC) neurogenic differentiation via PI3K‐AKT signaling and intracellular Ca²⁺ elevation. Further studies showed that the synergy of the neurotransmitter of SCs and piezoelectric electric signal increased the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Consequently, US‐irradiated T‐BSTO‐Vo effectively promotes the innervated bone regeneration in the MRSA‐infected bone defect model through rapidly killing bacteria, modulating the immune microenvironment. This study offers a new approach for developing bioactive sonosensitizers through phase/defect engineering, and treats MRSA‐infected bone defects through enhanced piezocatalytic effect and innervated bone regeneration.

Published: February 2025

AbstractUm die Fertigungsprozesse im Stahlbau transparenter und durchgängiger zu gestalten und damit auch Optimierungspotenziale zu heben, ist ein ganzheitliches Datenmodell notwendig, das möglichst alle Lebensphasen des Bauwerks abbilden kann. Die bisher von DSTV‐Schnittstellen abgebildete Funktionalität deckt jedoch lediglich einen kleinen Teil davon ab. Im Gegensatz dazu liegt mit dem IFC‐Datenmodell (Industry Foundation Classes) ein ganzheitliches Bauwerksmodell vor, das alle Lebenszyklusphasen unterstützen soll. Mit dem Exchange Module 11 (EM11) hat das American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) einen ersten Schritt unternommen, Fertigungsdaten per IFC weiterzugeben. Mit den neuen erweiterten Möglichkeiten der aktuellen IFC‐Version 4×3 hat bauforumstahl e. V. auf der Basis von EM11 einen weiterführenden Ansatz entwickelt, um Fertigungsdaten im Stahlbau austauschen und im Lebenszyklus verfügbar halten zu können. Die hier vorgestellte Arbeit diskutiert kurz die bestehenden Möglichkeiten des Datenaustauschs, beschreibt zukünftige Anwendungsszenarien, skizziert die Umsetzung der Anforderungen in IFC und schließt mit ersten Validierungen anhand eines Demonstrators ab.
“Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment: The Role of Starch‐Based Nanoparticles in Targeted Therapy”
Authors: Kapoor Devesh U. , Patel Geeta , Prajapati Bhupendra G. 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe biocompatible and biodegradable polysaccharide starch is a great platform for the development of nanoparticles (NPs). Due to its special qualities, which include high stability, low toxicity, and ease of modification, it is a desirable option for the administration of anticancer drugs. Targeted cancer therapy has found a potential carrier in starch‐based nanoparticles (SNPs). SNPs can be functionalized with ligands to target cancer cells in particular. These ligands allow for targeted medication delivery by identifying overexpressed receptors on tumor surfaces. SNPs have been studied in relation to chemotherapeutics, siRNAs, and photothermal treatments, among other anticancer agents. They are also used in combination therapy, where their combined targeting of cancer cells improves treatment outcomes. SNPs in cancer treatment are being evaluated in a number of clinical trials. These trials evaluate patient outcomes, safety, and efficacy and offer important information for potential future uses. Regulatory bodies closely monitor various treatments based on NPs. Clinical translation requires an understanding of their safety profiles, biodistribution, and clearance mechanisms. In this review, we examine the potential of SNPs to enhance anticancer medication delivery and treatment efficacy through drug targeting.

Published: February 2025

AbstractIgnoring the size effect of shear strength at the interface between new–old concrete in the design of structural reinforcement and retrofitting projects will significantly overestimate the structural load‐bearing capacity, leading to safety hazards. Based on the shear tests of Z‐shaped new–old concrete interface specimens with three groups of 11 different interface treatment methods and different lateral restraint conditions, as well as one monolithic Z‐shaped concrete specimen, the shear‐slip curves of each specimen were measured. The experiments showed that the shear strength of the unconstrained new–old concrete interface was 0.25 to 0.50 times that of the monolithic specimen, and the section shear strength of the specimens without prestressed screw restraints increased by an average of 1.55 times. The cracking stress, crack propagation stress, and ultimate stress of each group of specimens exhibited a significant size effect, decreasing as the height of the shear plane increased. A calculation formula for the shear bearing capacity of the interface was proposed, and an expression for calculating the coefficient of shear strength size effect at the interface was fitted. Finally, the accuracy of the calculation formula of the interfacial shear capacity is verified by the simulation of the equivalent substitution model established by ANSYS.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTTo investigate the influence of galloping on the fatigue performance of spacers in iced transmission lines, this study developed a coupled finite element model of a transmission tower‐quad‐bundled conductor‐spacer, along with a wind field model for quad‐bundled iced transmission lines, and the corresponding galloping loads are generated. A fatigue analysis method for spacers is proposed, and its fatigue performance and life under galloping conditions are assessed. Moreover, the influence of iced thickness and shape on spacer fatigue performance are analyzed. Results show that spacers connected to interphase spacers are most prone to fatigue damage during galloping. For crescent‐shaped iced, the highest fatigue damage occurs at a 10 mm iced thickness, 90° wind attack angle, and 10 m/s wind speed, with an average fatigue life of about 20 days. Dangerous spacers are located at the middle phase conductor for crescent, fan, and D‐shaped iced, with the most unfavorable wind attack angles being 90°, 0°, and 60°, and fatigue life of 13.35, 21.66, and 74.73 days, respectively. Spacer's fatigue damage increases with iced thickness, peaking at 10 mm. Crescent‐shaped iced causes the highest fatigue damage within the 30°–120° wind attack angle range, followed by fan‐shaped and D‐shaped iced. At 0° and 150°, fatigue damage values are similar for all iced shapes, while fan‐shaped iced results in the highest damage at 180°.
Building Word Consciousness With Bilingual Books
Authors: Kelly Laura Beth 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThis study explored the instructional potential of bilingual picturebooks for building word consciousness in bilingual elementary students. Word consciousness refers to knowledge about words as well as interest in and enthusiasm for learning new words. This disposition helps students build their vocabularies and learn more words from talk and text. Transcripts from 37 small‐group bilingual book club meetings with 11 Spanish‐English bilingual fourth graders revealed how discussion and translation activities related to the books supported word consciousness. Students paid close attention to words, learned how words work, and played with words. The study shows how structured talk about bilingual books can build word consciousness and thus vocabulary and comprehension.
Effect of Portulaca oleracea on Carcass Traits, Fatty Acid Composition, Meat Quality and Oxidative Stability of Arabi Lambs

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of using Portulaca oleracea L. or Purslane (POL) as a source of plant antioxidants in the diet of fattening male lambs on carcass traits, meat quality and oxidative stability. Using POL in diets, meat colour characteristics were improved. The carcass traits such as weight and yield were improved (p < 0.05) in ration contain POL. The treatments containing POL increased the concentrations of palmitic fatty acids, alpha and gamma‐linolenic in meat (p < 0.05). The highest concentration of linoleic acid (C18:2 n‐6 trans) was observed in 15% POL treatment. Feeding the POL reduced the malondialdehyde concentration and increased the oxidative stability (p < 0.05). The results showed that POL nutrition had increased the meat quality by increasing oxidative stability, improving properties such as fatty acid composition. All of these properties, along with the increase in beneficial fatty acids in meat, have led to an increase in its nutritional value for human health.
Spontaneous haemoperitoneum secondary to mast cell neoplasia and presumed splenic abscess rupture in a cat
Authors: Collins Jenna , Levy Nyssa , Thaiwong‐Nebelung Tuddow 
Published: February 2025

AbstractA geriatric feline was presented to a university teaching hospital for lethargy and inappetence. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with spontaneous haemoperitoneum secondary to rupture of a splenic mass and was taken to surgery for splenectomy following appropriate stabilisation measures. Splenic histopathology was consistent with mast cell neoplasia and multifocal areas of presumed abscessation. Routine histopathological examination of the splenic sections did not reveal overt bacterial organisms; however, Gram staining revealed low numbers of Gram‐positive long bacilli. Histopathologic evaluation also confirmed mast cell neoplasia within a submitted hepatic biopsy specimen, supportive of a diagnosis of metastatic mast cell neoplasia. This case highlights the importance of including abscess rupture as a possible cause of spontaneous haemoperitoneum in patients. Additionally, as spontaneous haemoperitoneum is infrequently reported in feline patients, this report aims to introduce a review of the general approach to managing a feline patient with haemoperitoneum.

Published: February 2025

AbstractTwo labrador retriever littermates presented separately to investigate chronic lethargy and shifting lameness. In both cases, clinical examination revealed a multi‐limb lameness. Neither the patients nor their dam or sire had a travel history outside the UK. Imaging of the vertebral column in both cases was consistent with discospondylitis. Brucella canis serology demonstrated a rising antibody titre in Case 1 and a strong positive antibody titre in Case 2 (4+/3200), consistent with a diagnosis of B. canis. Due to concerns relating to the poor prognosis, antimicrobial stewardship and zoonotic risk, both patients were euthanased. Since 2020, the UK has seen a rise in cases of B. canis, with most cases having been in imported dogs. This case report highlights how B. canis should be considered in dogs with no travel history and identifies challenges relating to diagnosis and managing these cases in practice.

Published: February 2025

AbstractA 6‐year‐old, male, neutered domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo) presented for mucopurulent discharge from the left ear with visible intraluminal soft tissue mass in the vertical portion of the canal on endoscopic exam. A computed tomographic exam confirmed a mass confined to the lumen of the left ear canal. A total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy was performed. Initial histopathology diagnosed the mass as a ceruminous gland adenoma, and the ferret lived with excellent quality of life for 6 months. After 6 months, swelling around the left total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy site was noted by the owner. Cytology of the swelling was consistent with an adenocarcinoma. This case report describes a total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy surgery in a ferret. Total ear canal ablation and lateral bulla osteotomy was well tolerated in this patient with no long‐term complications. Aural ceruminous gland tumours in ferrets may exhibit variable behaviour and should be given a guarded prognosis.
A Multiyear CONUS‐Wide Analysis of Lightning Strikes to Wind Turbines
Authors: Said Ryan , Grimit Eric , Murphy Martin 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTLightning strikes to wind turbines (WTs) pose significant hazards and operational costs to the renewable wind industry. These strikes fall into two categories: downward cloud‐to‐ground (CG) strokes and upward discharges, which can be self‐initiated or triggered by a nearby flash. The incidence of each type of strike depends on several factors, including the electrical structure of the thunderstorm and turbine height. The strike rates of CG strokes and triggered upward lightning can be normalized by the amount of local lightning activity, where the constant of proportionality carries units of area and is often termed the collection area. This paper introduces a statistical analysis technique that uses lightning locating system (LLS) data to estimate the collection areas for downward and triggered upward lightning strikes to WTs. The technique includes a normalization method that addresses the confounding factor of neighboring WTs. This analysis method is applied to 7 years of data from the National Lightning Detection Network and the US WT Database to investigate the dependence of collection areas on blade tip height. The results are compared against estimates of collection areas derived from counts of LLS‐detected CG strokes close to WTs.
Simultaneous removal of cationic and anionic dyes by highly efficient and recyclable ZIF‐67/expanded vermiculite (ZIF‐67/EV) composites
Authors: Ahmadipouya Salman , Molavi Hossein 
Published: February 2025

AbstractThis study focuses on the synthesis of composite materials using Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF‐67) nanoparticles as an effective adsorbent, along with different concentrations (2–10%) of thermally expanded vermiculite (EV) as a low‐cost and natural adsorbent substrate. The pristine materials and their composites were fully characterized using XRD, FTIR, BET, SEM, zeta potential, and EDS techniques. The pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model described both organic dyes' adsorption on synthesized adsorbents. Accordingly, the calculated adsorption capacities of Congo Red (CR) and Malachite Green (MG) dyes over the synthesized adsorbents were found to be about 22.72 and 49.02 mg/g for pure EV, 100 and 100 mg/g for pure ZIF‐67, 90.91 and 100 mg/g for ZIF‐67/EV‐2, 100 and 100 mg/g for ZIF‐67/EV‐5, 95.24 and 99.01 mg/g for ZIF‐67/EV‐7, and 92.59 and 97.09 mg/g for ZIF‐67/EV‐10, respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model fits experimental isotherm data best in the studied temperature range (298–313 K). Among the synthesized adsorbent materials, the ZIF‐67/EV‐5 composite (containing 5% EV flakes) showed the highest maximum adsorption capacities of 1428.6 and 1114.2 mg/g for MG and CR dyes at pH 7 and 298 K. Moreover, it showed the highest removal efficiency (up to 99.5%) toward both cationic MG and anionic CR dyes in the binary mixture of both dyes. Finally, the regeneration and recyclability of this composite showed a 12% decrease in dye removal after five adsorption cycles. The synthesized ZIF‐67/EV composites may therefore be used as efficient and inexpensive adsorbent materials for the simultaneous removal of cationic and anionic dyes from contaminated water.Practitioner Points

AbstractUnderstanding crop water requirements is critical for irrigation scheduling and cropping pattern decisions in any environment. Using the CROPWAT model, a study was conducted to estimate the irrigation requirement of major crops cultivated in the humid subtropical climate of Meghalaya from 2001 to 2022 and preparing irrigation scheduling plan for the current scenario. The results showed that the annual ET0 from 2001 to 2022 at the selected station was 876.7 mm. The lowest monthly ET0 (46.8 mm) was observed in December and the highest (94 mm) was observed in March. The results also indicated that the seasonal minimum and maximum CWR for rice, maize, ginger, mustard, and potato were 462.5 and 652.2 mm, 314.6 and 455.8 mm, 673.3 and 922.9 mm, 199.8 and 413.4 mm, and 341.5 and 465.3 mm, respectively. The minimum and maximum IR for rice, maize, ginger, mustard, and potato were 152.9 and 378.8 mm, 0 and 30.2 mm, 60.1 and 255.7 mm, 0 and 193 mm, and 0 and 170.8 mm, respectively. The net irrigation requirement (NIR) and gross irrigation requirement (GIR) were calculated using the scheduling option and 70% efficiency for the preparation of the irrigation schedule. For rice (transplant), the effective rainfall partially met its water needs, requiring supplemental irrigation. Maize, Cotton, and Jute relied entirely on effective rainfall, eliminating the need for irrigation. Ginger and Mustard needed both effective rainfall and additional irrigation. These findings delivered a comprehensive understanding of the location‐specific water variations for crops in Meghalaya, vital for sustainable water resource management.Practitioner Points

Irrigation Project and Education: A Study on Teesta Barrage Irrigation Project Area of Nilphamari, Bangladesh
Authors: Shahen Md. Abu , Momen Md. Nurul 
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe Government of Bangladesh established the Teesta Barrage Irrigation Project (TBIP) to ensure irrigation water supply for the farmers. This irrigation project spans three districts in the northern region of Bangladesh. The goal of this study is to investigate how the TBIP in Bangladesh affects the education of the farmer's family living in the irrigation project region. Though both qualitative (key informant interviews [KII], in‐depth interview, focus group discussion [FGD], and observation) and quantitative (survey) methodologies have been used in the study. The social survey, interview, targeted group discussions, and observations have all been applied in the study to achieve the research objectives. The results show that the irrigation project has raised agricultural output, boosted financial resources, and raised the educational standing of the farmer's family in the research areas. TBIP raises crop yield, which then improves educational attainment for the farmer's family members. The result looked at the notable improvements in the education status of the farmer's children, including increased in funding for education, increased in curiosity, and the enrollment rate in schools. Farmers have become more committed to holding parent–child conferences and providing educational materials for their kids. The study also showed that farmers in the middle and upper classes have benefited mostly from the TBIP. Conversely, lower‐level farmers did not reap the benefits from the TBIP, and there have been no improvements in their livelihoods. Due to the scarcity of water during cultivating season, due to unilateral water withdrawn by India, farmers were compelled to bear additional costs for water supply, reducing their family's educational expenditures. Therefore, the government should develop a comprehensive plan to ensure consistent water supply for crop cultivation throughout the year.
