AbstractThe coating of filter media with silver is typically achieved by chemical deposition and aerosol processes. Whilst useful, such approaches struggle to provide uniform coating and are prone to blockage. To address these issues, an in situ method for coating glass fibers is presented via the dopamine‐mediated electroless metallization method, yielding filters with low air resistance and excellent antibacterial performance. It is found that the filtration efficiency of the filters is between 94 and 97% and much higher than that of silver‐coated filters produced using conventional dipping methods (85%). Additionally, measured pressure drops ranged between 100 and 150 Pa, which are lower than those associated with dipped filters (171.1 Pa). Survival rates of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis bacteria exposed to the filters decreased to 0 and 15.7%±1.49, respectively after 2 h, with no bacteria surviving after 6 h. In contrast, survival rates of E. coli and B. subtilis bacteria on the uncoated filters are 92.5% and 89.5% after 6 h. Taken together, these results confirm that the in situ deposition of silver onto fiber surfaces effectively reduces pore clogging, yielding low air resistance filters that can be applied for microbial filtration and inhibition in a range of environments.

AbstractElectromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and infrared (IR) stealth materials have attracted increasing attention owing to the rapid development of modern communication and military surveillance technologies. However, to realize excellent EMI shielding and IR stealth performance simultaneously remains a great challenge. Herein, a facile strategy is demonstrated to prepare high‐efficiency EMI shielding and IR stealth materials of sandwich‐structured MXene‐based thin foam composites (M‐W‐M) via filtration and hot‐pressing. In this composite, the conductive Ti3C2Tx MXene/cellulose nanofiber (MXene/CNF) film serves as the outer layer, which reflects electromagnetic waves and reduces the IR emissivity. Meanwhile, the middle layer is composed of a porous waste polyurethane foam (WPUF), which not only improves thermal insulation capacity but also extends electromagnetic wave propagation paths. Owing to the unique sandwich structure of “film‐foam‐film”, the M‐W‐M composite exhibits a high EMI shielding effectiveness of 83.37 dB, and in the meantime extremely low emissivity (22.17%) in the wavelength range of 7–14 µm and thermal conductivity (0.19 W m−1 K−1), giving rise to impressive IR stealth performance at various surrounding temperatures. Remarkably, the M‐W‐M composite also shows excellent Joule heating properties, capable of maintaining the IR stealth function during Joule heating.

AbstractDue to their facile tunability, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are employed as precursors and templates to construct advanced functional materials with unique and desired chemical, physical, mechanical, and morphological properties. By tuning MOF precursor composition and manipulating conversion processes, various MOF‐derived materials commonly known as MOF derivatives can be constructed. The possibility of controlled and predictable properties makes MOF derivatives a preferred choice for numerous advanced technological applications. The innovative synthetic designs besides the plethora of interdisciplinary characterization approaches applicable to MOF derivatives provide the opportunity to perform a myriad of experiments to explore the performance and offer key insight to develop the next generation of advanced materials. Though there are many published works of literature describing various synthesis and characterization techniques of MOF derivatives, it is still not clear how the synthesis mechanism works and what are the best techniques to characterize these materials to probe their properties accurately. In this review, the recent development in synthesis techniques and mechanisms for a variety of MOF derivates such as MOF‐derived metal oxides, porous carbon, composites/hybrids, and sulfides is summarized. Furthermore, the details of characterization techniques and fundamental working principles are summarized to probe the structural, mechanical, physiochemical, electrochemical, and electronic properties of MOF and MOF derivatives. The future trends and some remaining challenges in the synthesis and characterization of MOF derivatives are also discussed.

AbstractDisordered MOFs seamlessly amalgamate the robust stability and pore tunability inherent in crystalline MOFs with the advantages derived from abundant defects and active sites present in amorphous structures. This study pioneers the use of the interference‐oriented attachment (IOA) mechanism to meticulously craft the morphology and crystal growth of MIL‐101(Cr) (Cr‐MOF), resulting in the successful synthesis of a high‐level disordered Cr‐MOF boasting an enhanced array of active sites and exceptional electrochemical properties. The correlation between disordered structures and the electrochemical properties of MOFs are elucidated using the lattice distortion index and fractal dimension. The high‐level disordered MOF electrode showcases a remarkable fluoride sieving effect, outperforming conventional fluoride removal materials with a remarkable fluoride adsorption capacity of 41.04 mgNaF gelectrodes−1. First‐principles calculations, in conjunction with relevant experiments, provided further validation that the disordered structure significantly enhances the defluorination performance of the material. This study introduces a novel approach for the direct bottom‐up synthesis of high‐level disordered MOFs, showcasing their potential for applications in electrochemical water treatment.

AbstractThe effect of immunoinflammation on bone repair during the recovery process of bone defects needs to be further explored. It is reported that Mg2+ can promote bone repair with immunoregulatory effect, but the underlying mechanism on adaptive immunity is still unclear. Here, by using chitosan and hyaluronic acid‐coated Mg2+ (CSHA‐Mg) in bone‐deficient mice, it is shown that Mg2+ can inhibit the activation of CD4+ T cells and increase regulatory T cell formation by inducing immunosuppressive dendritic cells (imDCs). Mechanistically, Mg2+ initiates the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway through TRPM7 channels on DCs. This process subsequently induces the downstream HIF‐1α expression, a transcription factor that amplifies TGF‐β production and inhibits the effective T cell function. In vivo, knock‐out of HIF‐1α in DCs or using a HIF‐1α inhibitor PX‐478 reverses inhibition of bone inflammation and repair promotion upon Mg2+‐treatment. Moreover, roxadustat, which stabilizes HIF‐1α protein expression, can significantly promote immunosuppression and bone repair in synergism with CSHA‐Mg. Thus, the findings identify a key mechanism for DCs and its HIF‐1α‐TGF‐β axis in the induction of immunosuppressive bone microenvironment, providing potential targets for bone regeneration.

AbstractAqueous Zn batteries employing mildly acidic electrolytes have emerged as promising contenders for safe and cost‐effective energy storage solutions. Nevertheless, the intrinsic reversibility of the Zn anode becomes a focal concern due to the involvement of acidic electrolyte, which triggers Zn corrosion and facilitates the deposition of insulating byproducts. Moreover, the unregulated growth of Zn over cycling amplifies the risk of internal short‐circuiting, primarily induced by the formation of Zn dendrites. In this study, a class of glucose‐derived monomers and a block copolymer are synthesized through a building‐block assembly strategy, ultimately leading to uncover the optimal polymer structure that suppresses the Zn corrosion while allowing efficient ion conduction with a substantial contribution from cation transport. Leveraging these advancements, remarkable enhancements are achieved in the realm of Zn reversibility, exemplified by a spectrum of performance metrics, including robust cycling stability without voltage overshoot and short‐circuiting during 3000 h of cycling, stable operation at a high depth of charge/discharge of 75% and a high current density, >95% Coulombic efficiency over 2000 cycles, successful translation of the anode improvement to full cell performance. These polymer designs offer a transformative path based on the modular synthesis of polymeric coatings toward highly reversible Zn anode.

AbstractIt is challenging to sufficiently regulate endogenous neuronal reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, reduce neuronal apoptosis, and reconstruct neural networks under spinal cord injury conditions. Here, hydrogel surface grafting and microsol electrospinning are used to construct a composite biomimetic scaffold with “external‐endogenous” dual regulation of ROS. The outer hydrogel enhances local autophagy through responsive degradation and rapid release of rapamycin (≈80% within a week), neutralizing extracellular ROS and inhibiting endogenous ROS production, further reducing neuronal apoptosis. The inner directional fibers continuously supply brain‐derived neurotrophic factors to guide axonal growth. The results of in vitro co‐culturing show that the dual regulation of oxidative metabolism by the composite scaffold approximately doubles the neuronal autophagy level, reduces 60% of the apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, and increases the differentiation of neural stem cells into neuron‐like cells by ≈2.5 times. The in vivo results show that the composite fibers reduce the ROS levels by ≈80% and decrease the formation of scar tissue. RNA sequencing results show that composite scaffolds upregulate autophagy‐associated proteins, antioxidase genes, and axonal growth proteins. The developed composite biomimetic scaffold represents a therapeutic strategy to achieve neurofunctional recovery through programmed and accurate bidirectional regulation of the ROS cascade response.

AbstractThe removal of uranyl ions (UO22+) from water is challenging due to their chemical stability, low concentrations, complex water matrix, and technical limitations in extraction and separation. Herein, a novel molybdenum disulfide/graphene oxide heterojunction (MoS2/GO‐H) is developed, serving as an effective electrode for capacitive deionization (CDI). By combining the inherent advantages of electroadsorption and electrocatalysis, an innovative electroadsorption‐electrocatalysis system (EES) strategy is introduced. This system utilizes interface polarization at the MoS2 and GO interface, creating an additional electric field that significantly influences carrier behavior. The MoS2/GO‐H electrode, with its extraordinary adsorption capacity of 805.57 mg g−1 under optimal conditions, effectively treated uranium‐laden wastewater from a mine, achieving over 90% removal efficiency despite the presence of numerous competing ions at concentrations significantly higher than UO22+. Employing density functional theory (DFT) and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, it is found that the MoS2/GO‐H total charge density at the Fermi level, enhanced by interfacial polarization, surpasses that of separate MoS2 and GO, markedly boosting conductivity and electrocatalytic effectiveness.

AbstractTo mitigate the environmental impact of the improper disposal of spent LiFePO4 batteries and reduce resource waste, the development of LiFePO4 recycling technologies is of paramount importance. Meanwhile, olivine‐structured NaFePO4 in sodium‐ion batteries has received great attention, due to its high theoretical specific capacity of 154 mAh g−1 and excellent stability. However, olivine NaFePO4 only can be synthesized from olivine LiFePO4. Accordingly, in this proposal, developing the continuous flow electrochemical solid‐liquid reactor‐based metal ion insertion technology is to utilize the olivine FePO4, recycled from LiFePO4, and to synthesize NaFePO4. Additionally, by employing I− as the reducing agent, NaFePO4 is successfully synthesized with a discharge‐specific capacity of 134 mAh g−1 at 0.1C and a remarkable capacity retention rate of 86.5% after 100 cycles at 0.2C. And the reasons for sodium deficiency in the synthesized NFP are elucidated through first‐principles calculations. Furthermore, the kinetics of the solid‐solution reaction 2 (Na2/3+βPO4→ Na1‐αFePO4) mechanism improve with cycling and are sensitive to temperature. Utilizing a minimal amount of reducing agent in the electrochemical reactor, NaFePO4 synthesis is successfully achieved. This innovative approach offers a new, cost‐effective, and environmentally friendly strategy for preparing NaFePO4 from recycling LiFePO4.

Increased temperature and high pressure are applied to β‐lactoglobulin fibrils in the autoclave, resulting in the acquisition of a composite material comprised of partially disassembled amyloid fibrils and carbon dots. Confirmation of the preservation of the β‐sheet motif attributed to amyloids in the hydrothermally treated fibrils is obtained through wide‐angle X‐ray scattering and ThT assay. Z‐scan analysis reveals a two‐photon absorption (2PA) enhancement in the low‐lying transition band (La) of tyrosine, while quantum chemical calculations demonstrate a correlation between the yield of 2PA and the interspace distance between aromatic residues. Overall, the intrinsic optical properties of amyloid fibrils treated in a subcritical water environment are found to be linked with the π‐conjugation of tyrosine units and their through‐space coupling. The resulting composite material is employed as a coating for a commercial ultraviolet light‐emitting diode lamp, showcasing the potential utility of sustainable biomaterials with improved optical properties for photonics applications.

Published: April 2024

AbstractPhishing and spam have been a cybersecurity threat with the majority of breaches resulting from these types of social engineering attacks. Therefore, detection has been a long‐standing challenge for both academic and industry researcher. New and innovative approaches are required to keep up with the growing sophistication of threat actors. One such illumination which has vast potential are large language models (LLM). LLM emerged and already demonstrated their potential to transform society and provide new and innovative approaches to solve well‐established challenges. Phishing and spam have caused financial hardships and lost time and resources to email users all over the world and frequently serve as an entry point for ransomware threat actors. While detection approaches exist, especially heuristic‐based approaches, LLMs offer the potential to venture into a new unexplored area for understanding and solving this challenge. LLMs have rapidly altered the landscape from business, consumers, and throughout academia and demonstrate transformational potential to profoundly impact the society. Based on this, applying these new and innovative approaches to email detection is a rational next step in academic research. In this work, we present IPSDM, an improved phishing spam detection model based on fine‐tuning the BERT family of models to specifically detect phishing and spam emails. We demonstrate our fine‐tuned version, IPSDM, is able to better classify emails in both unbalanced and balanced datasets. Moreover, IPSDM consistently outperforms the baseline models in terms of classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F1‐score, while concurrently mitigating overfitting concerns.
From media evolution to the Anthropocene: Unpacking sociotechnical autopoiesis
Authors: Tække Jesper 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe Anthropocene, a term encapsulating humanity's significant impact on Earth's geology, is analysed from a media and socio‐evolutionary lens. The exploration investigates the correlation between human socio‐evolution, media, technology, and the inception and progression of the Anthropocene era. By employing a systems theoretical perspective, this research heavily draws on the theories of German sociologist Niklas Luhmann. Insights from the American philosopher Levi Bryant are also integrated to elucidate the relationship between humans, technology and the Earth's geological state. It is posited that society, as we understand it, emerged with the advent of spoken language. This language‐based communication system shaped cooperation within the human population. Over time, the interplay between biology, consciousness and social structures, driven by language‐based communication in different communication media, has deeply influenced Earth's climate. The evolution of communication media has continuously expanded humanity's capacity to influence its environment. The article provides a comprehensive explanatory model, suggesting that the social structures formed by these media profoundly impact Earth's geology, challenging conventional notions surrounding the origins and implications of the Anthropocene era.
Variation in resting respiration rate of Brook Trout among source populations: Implications for bioenergetic models
Authors: Hartman Cory M. , Hartman Kyle J. , Bauerlien Cory J. 
Published: April 2024

Abstract

Objective
Our objective was to compare wild and hatchery sourced Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis to determine the importance of source population on routine respiration rate (RRR), the major cost term in bioenergetic models.

Methods
We evaluated intraspecific variation in RRRs of one hatchery and four wild Brook Trout populations. Hatchery fish were obtained from the Bowden State Fish Hatchery in Elkins, West Virginia, and were the basis for the previously published bioenergetics model for the species. Wild fish were obtained from four headwater streams in West Virginia. Using intermittent respirometry, we measured and analyzed RRRs sequentially at 20, 16, and 12°C. Measures on hatchery fish were censored to restrict the dataset to similar sizes and temperatures as used with the wild populations. We used a suite of mixed effects models and one linear model to compare RRRs of hatchery fish with wild fish, as well as to determine whether wild populations differed.

Result
We found that the RRR of hatchery fish was double that of wild fish over the range of 12–20°C. Within the wild populations, the RRR of the Potomac drainage fish was lower than two of the three Ohio drainage populations despite all steams falling within 55 km of each other.

Conclusion
Our findings suggest that selective pressures at the hatchery, as well as factors that influence thermal regimes in wild populations, likely influence RRR in Brook Trout. More research is needed to identify correlates related to intraspecific variation in fish respiration rates. Most fish bioenergetics models are not based on, or calibrated to, the specific population to which they are applied. Therefore, we encourage greater efforts be expended to calibrate and validate such models in the future.
Collaborative advocacy for multilingual learners: Developments from coursework into practice
Authors: Suh Sora , Michener Catherine J. 
Published: April 2024

AbstractAdvocacy is widely expected of teachers working with multilingual learners (MLs) and is included in TESOL standards and teacher education scholarship. Recent research on language teacher advocacy demonstrates the importance and necessity of advocacy for MLs and their families. However, few studies document how teachers collaboratively advocate for their MLs and how they develop collaborative alliances to implement their advocacy. This article contributes to the growing conversation of how teachers advocate collaboratively for MLs by examining a cohort of teachers from their English as a second language (ESL) certification courses into their teaching practice. Dialogic discourse analyses of 3 years of discussions show how teachers develop their community advocacy plans and stances collaboratively. The authors conclude with implications for preparing teachers to advocate collaboratively for MLs and their families.
