Abstract2D layered materials, such as transition metal carbides or nitrides, known as MXenes, offer an ideal platform to investigate charge transfer processes in confined environment, relevant for energy conversion and storage applications. Their rich surface chemistry plays an essential role in the pseudocapacitive behavior of MXenes. However, the local distribution of surface functional groups over single flakes and within few‐ or multilayered flakes remains unclear. In this work, scanning X‐ray microscopy (SXM) is introduced with simultaneous transmission and electron yield detection, enabling multimodal nanoscale chemical imaging with bulk and surface sensitivity, respectively, of individual MXene flakes. The Ti chemical bonding environment is found to significantly vary between few‐layered hydrofluoric acid‐etched Ti3C2Tx MXenes and multilayered molten salt (MS)‐etched Ti3C2Tx MXenes. Postmortem analysis of MS‐etched Ti3C2Tx electrodes cycled in a Li‐ion battery further illustrates that simultaneous bulk and surface chemical imaging using SXM offers a method well adapted to the characterization of the electrode‐electrolyte interactions at the nanoscale.

Published: June 2024

AbstractTsunamis generated by volcanic eruptions have risen to prominence since the December 2018 tsunami generated by the flank collapse of Anak Krakatau during a moderate eruption and then the global tsunami generated by the explosive eruption of the Hunga volcano in the Tongan Archipelago in January 2022. Both events cause fatalities and highlight the lack in tsunami warning systems to detect and warn for tsunamis induced by volcanic mechanisms. Following the Hunga Tonga—Hunga Ha’apai eruption and tsunami, an ad hoc working group on Tsunamis Generated by Volcanoes was formed by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO. Volcanic tsunamis differ from seismic tsunamis in that there are a wide range of source mechanisms that can generate the tsunamis waves and this makes understanding, modelling and monitoring volcanic tsunamis much more difficult than seismic tsunamis. This paper provides a review of both the mechanisms behind volcanic tsunamis and the variety of modelling techniques that can be used to simulate their effects for tsunami hazard assessment and forecasting. It gives an example of a volcanic tsunami risk assessment undertaken for Stromboli, outlines the requirement of volcanic monitoring to warn for tsunami hazard and provides examples of volcanic tsunami warning systems in Italy, the Hawaiian Island (USA), Tonga and Indonesia. The paper finishes by highlighting the need for implementing monitoring and warning systems for volcanic tsunamis for locations with submarine volcanoes or near-shore volcanoes which could potentially generate tsunamis.
Predictive analysis visualization component in simulated data streams
Authors: Dudáš Adam , Demian Daniel 
Published: June 2024

AbstractOne of the most significant problems related to Big Data is their analysis with the use of various methods from the area of descriptive statistics or machine and deep learning. This process is interesting in both—static datasets containing various data sources which do not change over time, and dynamic datasets collected with the use of ambient data sources, which measure a number of attribute values over long periods. Since access to actual dynamic data systems is demanding, the focus of this work is put on the design and implementation of a framework usable in a simulation of data streams, their processing and subsequent dynamic predictive and visual analysis. The proposed system is experimentally verified in the context of a case study conducted on an environmental variable dataset, which was measured with the use of a real-life sensor network.

Abstract
Purpose
To identify the key attributes of breast cancer follow-up care models preferred by cancer survivors in Australia.

Methods
A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted to elicit preferences for attributes of breast cancer follow-up care. Respondents were presented with two hypothetical scenarios, known as choice sets, and asked to select a preference. Respondents were individuals living in Australia who were diagnosed with breast cancer within the past five years prior to survey completion and were recruited through the Breast Cancer Network of Australia and other community or consumer networks. Latent class modelling (LCM) approach under a random utility framework was used for the analysis.

Results
123 breast cancer survivors completed the DCE survey. LCA revealed two latent classes, those with older age and lower quality of life (class 1) and younger women with higher quality of life (class 2). Class 2 preferred a care team comprising specialists, nurses and GPs and emphasised the importance of shared survivorship care plans. Class 1 remained neutral regarding the team’s composition but was notably concerned about the out-of-pocket costs per consultation, a finding not seen in Class 2.

Conclusions
Age and quality of life status are associated with patient preference for types and attributes of breast cancer follow-up care. The health system can work towards enhancing flexibility of follow-up care delivery, ultimately achieving person-centred care.
Implications for cancer survivors.
Efforts need to be made by policymakers to ensure consumer preferences are taken into consideration to implement tailored person-centred follow-up care pathways.

Published: June 2024

Abstract
Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones that play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of plant architecture, such as shoot and root branching. However, the knowledge of SL-responsive genes and transcription factors (TFs) that control the shaping of plant architecture remains elusive. Here, transcriptomic analysis was conducted using the SL-insensitive barley mutant hvd14.d (carried mutation in SL receptor DWARF14, HvD14) and its wild-type (WT) to unravel the differences in gene expression separately in root and shoot tissues. This approach enabled us to select more than six thousand SL-dependent genes that were exclusive to each studied organ or not tissue-specific. The data obtained, along with in silico analyses, found several TFs that exhibited changed expression between the analyzed genotypes and that recognized binding sites in promoters of other identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs). In total, 28 TFs that recognize motifs over-represented in DEG promoters were identified. Moreover, nearly half of the identified TFs were connected in a single network of known and predicted interactions, highlighting the complexity and multidimensionality of SL-related signalling in barley. Finally, the SL control on the expression of one of the identified TFs in HvD14- and dose-dependent manners was proved. Obtained results bring us closer to understanding the signalling pathways regulating SL-dependent plant development.

Published: June 2024

AbstractLocalized electrochemical deposition microadditive manufacturing (AM) (LECD-µAM) technology represents a nontraditional manufacturing method applied for the layer-by-layer fabrication of metal microstructures via a fully automatic feedback mechanism. In terms of material utilization and complex structure formation, the proposed technology exhibits great potential for microstructure fabrication. The LECD-µAM technology introduced in this study involves the reduction of metal cations in the electrolyte to form metal microstructures. This study showed the flow simulation of an electrolyte in the cantilever probe and pressure distribution at the probe tip. In addition, the effect of extrusion pressure on the deposition structure was investigated experimentally. Combined with the experimental results, we discussed the effects of LECD-µAM technology on deposition outcomes and optimized parameters and designed a printing route for the deposition of complex metal microstructure arrays with smooth surfaces. The proposed technology attained a deposition rate and a microstructural copper content of 0.961 µm/s and 99.5%. In addition, LECD-µAM technology can be performed at room temperature, has low environmental requirements and cost, provides a good deposition surface, and holds great potential for the manufacture of three-dimensional and other complex microstructure arrays.

Published: June 2024

AbstractAs the fourth largest CO2 emitter, Russia's constituent entities collectively contribute with vast territory and regional heterogeneity. Existing studies only present production‐based inventories; state‐level consumption‐based emissions patterns and driving forces remain rare. Here, we built the Russia state‐level Multi‐regional input‐output table to ascertain heterogeneity in consumption‐based emissions and track carbon flows in the inter‐state. We found that 60% of consumption‐based emissions coming from affluent areas (top 20% of the GRP), including Moscow (139.1 Mt) and St. Petersburg (50.5 Mt). Energy‐intensive regions also had huge consumption‐based emissions (31.6 Mt in Khanty‐Mansi Autonomous Okrug and 29.4 Mt in Republic of Tatarstan). Household consumption emissions accounted for 41%–73% of consumption‐based emissions in the 83 regions, except for Tula and Lipetsk, where fixed capital formation dominated. In addition, the major contributor of embodied emissions in households were power and services sectors, which contributed about 8%–61% (0.03 Mt–12.7 Mt) and 12%–40% (0.1 Mt–20.1 Mt). In Russia's low carbon transition, policymakers should not only focus on a local mitigation policy in developed states (such as Moscow and St. Petersburg), but on key sectors to curb the consumption. Regions with high carbon intensity should switch to renewable energy and implement cleaner production techniques in high‐emission industries.

AbstractMultiple lines of evidence confirm a widespread increase in vegetation growth across China over the past few decades. The relationship between vegetation growth and water availability is thought to be becoming stronger under climate change, that is, water constraints on vegetation growth have been increasing. However, our understanding of how water constraints have influenced these vegetation greening trends, especially those climate change‐driven ones, remains limited. Here, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation of recent water constraints and their implications for vegetation growth in China between 1982 and 2015. By analyzing the spatiotemporal patterns of the relationship between vegetation growth and water availability, we reveal recent water constraints and their changes hidden within an overall greening trend in China. Further analysis demonstrates that two climate change‐related categories, defined broadly as “climate” (e.g., air temperature, precipitation, and so on) and “CO2” (i.e., atmospheric carbon dioxide), have exerted varying levels of importance in regulating vegetation growth across different water constraints. With increasing water constraints, the proportion of the climate‐dominated area has significantly risen, while that of the CO2‐dominated area has sharply declined. Our findings highlight that water constraints can mediate the dominance of climate and atmospheric CO2 on vegetation growth. This has the great potential to exacerbate the uncertainty surrounding current and future sustainable vegetation greening trends.
Hydrological Extremes Heighten Vulnerability to Schistosomiasis

Published: June 2024

AbstractClimate change is altering precipitation regimes that amplify hydrological extremes and increase vulnerability to schistosomiasis, a water‐related parasitic disease with hundreds of millions at risk globally. Explicit recognition of the elements of hydrological variability and linkages with extreme precipitation is necessary to combat the spread of schistosomiasis. We call for the use of a vulnerability framework to account holistically for the dynamic interplay among environmental and human factors that influence susceptibility to schistosomiasis infection across spatial scales.
To Rotate or to Link? The Connection Between the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Rifts in Central Afar

Published: June 2024

AbstractCentral Afar is shaped by the interaction between the Red Sea (RS) and Gulf of Aden (GoA) rifts. While there have been several studies conducted in the region, we know surprisingly little about the mechanism of connection between these two rift branches. Here we use high‐resolution 3D lithospheric scale geodynamic modeling to capture the evolution of linkage between the RS and GoA rifts in central Afar. Our results demonstrate that the two rifts initially overlap and interact across a broad zone of faulting and vertical axis block rotation. However, through time, rift overlap is abandoned in favor of direct linkage which generates a series of localized en‐echelon basins. The present‐day direct linkage between the two rifts is supported by geodetic observations. Our study reconciles previously proposed models for the RS and GoA rift connection by considering spatial and temporal evolution of the rifts.
Dissolved Oxygen Recovery in the Oxygen Minimum Zone of the Arabian Sea in Recent Decade as Observed by BGC‐Argo Floats

Published: June 2024

AbstractThe Arabian Sea (AS) hosts the world's thickest and most intense oxygen minimum zone (OMZ), and previous studies have documented a dramatic decline of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the northeastern AS in recent decades. In this study, using the recently released data from Biogeochemical‐Argo floats, we found a surprising trend of recovery in deoxygenation within the core region of the OMZ in the AS (ASOMZ) since 2013. The average DO concentration increased by approximately threefold, from ∼0.63 μM in 2013 to ∼1.68 μM in 2022, and the thickness of the ASOMZ decreased by 13%. We find that the weakening of Oman upwelling resulting from the weakening of the summer monsoon is the main driver of oxygenation in the ASOMZ. In addition, the reduction of primary production linked to warming‐driven stratification reinforces deoxygenation recovery at depth.

Published: June 2024

AbstractLeveraging Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment mascon products spanning from April 2002 to September 2023, we, for the first time, ascertain the substantial influence of cryospheric mass variations on Earth's Chandler wobble (CW). Further, in contrast to traditional analysis conducted in the excitation domain, this study focuses on the polar motion domain and incorporates the wavelet analysis technique. Our findings reveal some intriguing phenomena: Between 2006 and 2020, the cryosphere contributed an average amplitude of approximately 4.85 mas to CW, equivalent to 5.05%, with its impact escalating to about 11 mas from 2018 to 2022, representing a fourfold rise in its contribution ratio to approximately 20%. This marked surge can be attributed to the more erratic glacier mass balance results from ongoing climate change. Moreover, there is a pronounced decrease in the CW signal post‐2018, which starkly contrasts with cryospheric contribution, suggesting a potential linkage to climate change yet warrants further investigation.
Elucidation of how the Mir-23-27-24 cluster regulates development and aging
Authors: Yap Xin Le , Chen Jun-An 
Published: June 2024

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are pivotal regulators of gene expression and are involved in biological processes spanning from early developmental stages to the intricate process of aging. Extensive research has underscored the fundamental role of miRNAs in orchestrating eukaryotic development, with disruptions in miRNA biogenesis resulting in early lethality. Moreover, perturbations in miRNA function have been implicated in the aging process, particularly in model organisms such as nematodes and flies. miRNAs tend to be clustered in vertebrate genomes, finely modulating an array of biological pathways through clustering within a single transcript. Although extensive research of their developmental roles has been conducted, the potential implications of miRNA clusters in regulating aging remain largely unclear. In this review, we use the Mir-23-27-24 cluster as a paradigm, shedding light on the nuanced physiological functions of miRNA clusters during embryonic development and exploring their potential involvement in the aging process. Moreover, we advocate further research into the intricate interplay among miRNA clusters, particularly the Mir-23-27-24 cluster, in shaping the regulatory landscape of aging.

AbstractAmongst the major types of archaeal filaments, several have been shown to closely resemble bacterial homologues of the Type IV pili (T4P). Within Sulfolobales, member species encode for three types of T4P, namely the archaellum, the UV-inducible pilus system (Ups) and the archaeal adhesive pilus (Aap). Whereas the archaellum functions primarily in swimming motility, and the Ups in UV-induced cell aggregation and DNA-exchange, the Aap plays an important role in adhesion and twitching motility. Here, we present a cryoEM structure of the Aap of the archaeal model organism Sulfolobus acidocaldarius. We identify the component subunit as AapB and find that while its structure follows the canonical T4P blueprint, it adopts three distinct conformations within the pilus. The tri-conformer Aap structure that we describe challenges our current understanding of pilus structure and sheds new light on the principles of twitching motility.
Cardiac myosin binding protein-C phosphorylation as a function of multiple protein kinase and phosphatase activities

Published: June 2024

AbstractPhosphorylation of cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is a determinant of cardiac myofilament function. Although cMyBP-C phosphorylation by various protein kinases has been extensively studied, the influence of protein phosphatases on cMyBP-C’s multiple phosphorylation sites has remained largely obscure. Here we provide a detailed biochemical characterization of cMyBP-C dephosphorylation by protein phosphatases 1 and 2 A (PP1 and PP2A), and develop an integrated kinetic model for cMyBP-C phosphorylation using data for both PP1, PP2A and various protein kinases known to phosphorylate cMyBP-C. We find strong site-specificity and a hierarchical mechanism for both phosphatases, proceeding in the opposite direction of sequential phosphorylation by potein kinase A. The model is consistent with published data from human patients and predicts complex non-linear cMyBP-C phosphorylation patterns that are validated experimentally. Our results suggest non-redundant roles for PP1 and PP2A under both physiological and heart failure conditions, and emphasize the importance of phosphatases for cMyBP-C regulation.
