Published: February 2025

Abstract
The French Moss Survey employs forest mosses as indicators to monitor the deposition of atmospheric substances, notably focusing on cadmium (Cd), a known carcinogenic and contributor to respiratory illnesses. This comprehensive study encompasses 55 variables to understand Cd accumulation in terrestrial mosses in France. These variables include moss species, tree cover, biogeographical markers, land use area, proximity to road and rail networks, soil concentration of Cd and atmospheric concentration and deposition of Cd using a physical model. The response variable undergoes a complementary log–log transformation to constrain prediction values within the maximum Cd content in mosses. We have built a regression model to improve predictions, considering the impacts of covariates in France. This model retains biogeographical effects, leading to data segmentation into four distinct biogeographical zones: Atlantic, Continental, Mediterranean and Alpine. Subsequently, zone-specific regression models are explored to refine predictions and consider the impacts of covariates specific to each region, such as those related to railways and roads of the Mediterranean zone. Our biogeographical models effectively mitigate spatial correlation issues and yield accurate predictions, as evidenced by the leave-one-out cross-validation assessment. Compared to ordinary kriging map, the regression prediction maps highlight the contributions of certain covariates, such as the EMEP atmospheric transport model, to areas with high Cd concentrations. Furthermore, these maps exhibit new areas with high (resp. low) Cd concentrations due to high (resp. low) values of the covariates.

We present the topological foundations for solvability of multiplicative Cousin problems formulated on an axially symmetric domain

In particular, we provide a geometric construction of quaternionic Cartan coverings, which are generalizations of (complex) Cartan coverings as presented in Section 4 of Forstnerič and Prezelj (Math. Ann. 322(4), 633-666 (2002)). Because of the requirements of symmetry inherent to the domains of definition of quaternionic regular functions, the existence of quaternionic Cartan coverings of

$$\Omega $$

Ω

is not a consequence of the existence of complex Cartan coverings; for the latter, there are no requirements for the symmetries with respect to the real axis. Due to the real axis’s special role, also the covering restricted to

$$\Omega \cap \mathbb {R}$$

Ω

must have additional properties. All these required properties were achieved by starting from a particular symmetric tiling of the symmetric set

Production Location Affects Tuber Shape Phenotype of Late-Season Russet Selections and Cultivars from the Northwest Potato Variety Development Program (NWPVDP)

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Potato tuber length-to-width ratio (L/W) is an important trait for consumer visual acceptance, pack-out efficiency, French fry production, and waste recovery. In the U.S. Northwest Potato Variety Development Program (NWPVDP), L/W accounts for 13% of the overall postharvest score. Selections with L/W ≥ 1.8 are preferred for maximum raw-product recovery (≥ 7.6-cm-long fries). However, tuber shape often depends on production location. Our objectives were to (1) model the effects of production location on L/W using 26 years of historical data from the NWPVDP, and (2) quantify the variability in tuber shape phenotype of selected NWPVDP varieties across production locations (WA, ID, OR). A mixed linear model demonstrated that tuber L/W was strongly affected by location, year, and location-by-year interactions (40% of total variation), while variety and variety-by-location accounted for 43% of total variation. L/W of the 227-284-g tubers of twenty-two released varieties from the NWPVDP averaged 1.65, 1.70, and 1.92 for WA, OR, and ID, respectively, and ranged from a low of 1.51 and 1.53 (cvs. Payette Russet & Palisade Russet) to a high of 2.06 and 2.12 (cvs. Ranger Russet & Echo Russet) across locations. The round phenotype of Palisade was stable across locations, leading to consistently low fry recovery (84% FW). By contrast, Payette tubers were invariably round in WA and OR, but elongated when grown in ID. The elongated phenotypes of Echo and Ranger from all locations ensured maximum fry recovery (94 to 95% FW), despite the relatively high variation in L/W (9–13%) attributable to location. Collectively, our results suggest an opportunity for genetic selection of L/W that are stable across locations for market specific reductions in shape waste. Future work should focus on identifying key mechanisms which are impacted by production environment for improved stability of L/W. Furthermore, cultural management strategies should be optimized for L/W consistency and usability by all sectors of the potato industry.

Abstract

Introduction
In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), personalised medicine is key to the secondary prevention of ischaemic and bleeding events. To provide an extensive overview of the quality of secondary prevention and of personalised medicine, a consortium in the southeastern region of the Netherlands has created a PCI registry: the South-East Netherlands Heart Registry (Zuid-Oost Nederland Hart Registratie, ZON-HR).

Aim
To visualise and improve personalised secondary prevention post-PCI, focussing on key elements such as antiplatelet treatment, cholesterol management and comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus.

Design and population
A prospective multicentre registry of all consecutive patients undergoing PCI at 4 participating PCI centres and 3 referral centres.

Treatment
Interventional procedures and concomitant pharmaceutical treatment are performed in accordance with the guidelines. The ZON-HR promotes risk stratification after PCI using a simplified protocol for a personalised antiplatelet strategy.

Data collection and quality
Demographics, laboratory values, baseline procedural characteristics and pharmaceutical treatment data are collected. Outcomes include thromboembolic and bleeding complications and medication changes. Data are pseudonymised, and a clinical event committee will review 20% of the adverse events (randomly selected).

Strengths and weaknesses
This registry represents the entire PCI population and visualises gaps in secondary prevention. Weaknesses are the collection of outcomes and medication changes using mostly patient-reported outcomes.

Conclusion
The ZON-HR is a comprehensive PCI registry that provides baseline and follow-up data of a large PCI cohort in the southeastern region of the Netherlands. The ZON-HR aims to improve secondary prevention after PCI and augment personalised treatment that focusses on key elements of secondary prevention.

Abstract
Recent years have seen an increase in our understanding of lncRNA and their role in various disease states. lncRNA molecules have been shown to contribute to carcinogenesis and influence the various cancer hallmarks and signalling pathways. It is pertinent to understand the specific contributions and mechanisms of action of these molecules in various cancers. This review provides an overview of the various lncRNA entities that influence and regulate the gynaecological cancers, namely, cervical, breast, ovarian and uterine cancers. The review curates a list of the key players and their effect on cellular processes. lncRNA molecules show immense potential to be used as diagnostic and prognostic indicators and in therapeutic strategies. Several phytochemicals, small molecules, RNA-based regulators, oligos and gene editing tools show promise as a therapeutic strategy. While this review highlights the promising developments in this field, it also underscores the necessity for further research to delineate the complex role of lncRNAs in cancer.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
A series of divinylphenyl-acryloyl chloride copolymers (PDVB-co-PACl) is synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization employing tert-butyl acrylate and divinylbenzene as monomers. PDVB-co-PACl is utilized to graft on the surface of spherical aluminum nitride (AlN) to prepare functionalized AlN (AlN@PDVB-co-PACl). Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) is then used as the matrix to prepare thermally conductive AlN@PDVB-co-PACl/PMHS composites with AlN@PDVB-co-PACl as fillers through blending and curing. The grafting of PDVB-co-PACl synchronously enhances the hydrolysis resistance of AlN and its interfacial compatibility with PMHS matrix. When the molecular weight of PDVB-co-PACl is 5100 g mol−1 and the grafting density is 0.8 wt%, the composites containing 75 wt% of AlN@PDVB-co-PACl exhibit the optimal comprehensive performance. The thermal conductivity (λ) of the composite is 1.14 W m−1 K−1, which enhances by 20% and 420% compared to the λ of simply physically blended AlN/PMHS composite and pure PMHS, respectively. Meanwhile, AlN@PDVB-co-PACl/PMHS composites display remarkable hydrothermal aging resistance by retaining 99.1% of its λ after soaking in 90 °C deionized water for 80 h, whereas the λ of the blended AlN/PMHS composites decreases sharply to 93.7%.
RE teachers’ ways of balancing children’s existential concerns and the curriculum: mirrored through established RE approaches
Authors: Osbeck Christina , Lilja Annika , Fancourt Nigel 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The relationship between learner and curriculum is foundational in education. In this study the purpose is to investigate how Swedish middle-school RE teachers balance children’s existential concerns and the curriculum content in their teaching, as well as how they describe current curricular goals and pupils’ questions, and to explore how these ways of balancing positions can be understood in light of how well-known RE approaches balance the child and the curriculum. In the analysis of the interview transcripts of the eleven middle-school teachers focussing on what the teachers express as important goals for RE, the findings were placed on a continuum between a focus on the child’s experiences and on the curriculum. The result also shows that the teachers recurrently describe pupils’ concerns and questions as relatively absent. The responses vary between “questions are lacking” and “questions are present”, with a middle position of “some interactionally created questions are present”. The child and the curriculum can never in practice be separated since they are integrated in the learning individual: in education, a particular individual is learning something specific. However, revisiting these approaches in combination with concrete examples of teachers’ experiences has brought our understanding further, and has also drawn attention to the need for awareness concerning the varying character of this relationship, as a tension, one between whose poles the teaching constantly moves or as one that falls apart in two different poles that do not necessarily need to be seen in the light of each other.
Study on Metro Operation Safety Based on a Specific Contact Model for Resilient Wheel
Authors: Zhong Shuoqiao , Zhou Xin , Sheng Xiaozhen 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Resilient wheel (RW) is gradually promoted for use in China’s subway vehicles recent years, which has been widely used in tram in Europe and China. As measured, the RWs in service on the metro trains have experienced eccentric wear and even polygonization of high order after 30,000 km running. Given that most subway lines have small curve radii, this study assesses the operation safety of vehicle passing through curves with RWs having polygonal wear, as well as their effect on vibration reduction compared to conventional wheels. A numeric simulation model is developed to model the metro vehicle-track dynamic system installed with resilient wheel, where a conventional wheel-rail contact model is modified considering the composite structure of a RW. A RW-rail contact model considering relatively independent motion of the wheel hub and rim is developed, which is integrated into a metro vehicle-track dynamic system model equipped with the RWs. Upon comparing the curving performance of vehicles equipped with conventional wheels, the findings reveal that, in scenarios of surplus-superelevation, the wheel load reduction ratio (WLRR) of conventional wheels demonstrates superior performance. While curving in the case of deficient-superelevation, the WLRR of RWs is lower. Furthermore, the safety performance of the RWs surpasses that of conventional wheels, particularly as the severity of polygonal wear on the wheel increases. These conclusions can be used as a reference for maintenance strategy of the RW applied on metro trains, which is urgently to be built considering the potentially wide promotion of the RW to the subway system.
Testing Drying Kinetic Models and the Effect of Drying on Cannabinoids of Floral Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in a Pilot-Scale Cabinet Dryer

Abstract

Purpose
Floral hemp must be dried before storage and processing. Due to a growing interest in cultivating floral hemp for cannabinoid extraction, there is a need to evaluate the drying process and determine the effect of different drying conditions on the various cannabinoids. It is also important to validate existing drying kinetic models at the pilot scale.

Methods
Three floral hemp cultivars (Lifter, Bubbatonic, and Quick Spectrum) were dried in a pilot-scale cabinet dryer (148 cm × 88 cm × 188 cm) at temperatures of 25 °C, 35 °C, or 45 °C, with airflow rates of 1 m s−1 or 2 m s−1. Samples were collected at different time intervals and analyzed for moisture and cannabinoid contents.

Results
The drying rates at 35 °C and 45 °C were not statistically different. Drying of floral hemp from 73% moisture content (wet basis) to less than 11% took approximately 6.5 h at 45 °C and an airflow rate of 2 m s−1. When compared to higher temperatures, increasing airflow had a significant effect on drying time at lower temperatures. The newly proposed Gaussian-based model was slightly better than the existing six thin-layer models as the adjusted coefficient of determination was 0.996 ± 0.002. Cannabinoids analysis showed that drying temperature and airflow rates did not significantly affect cannabinoid content, but longer drying times resulted in the decarboxylation of their acidic form into neutral forms and the degradation of major cannabinoids.

Conclusion
These results show that farmers and processors can adopt higher temperatures (45 °C) and airflow rates (2 m s−1) when using a pilot-scale cabinet dryer.

Abstract
Cadmium is a heavy metal that significantly harms plant growth and development by impairing enzyme activity and photosynthesis, leading to chloroplast damage. In this study, we discovered that genes specifically expressed in vascular tissues regulate the plant’s response to heavy metals by scRNA-seq. The overexpression of vascular-specific genes such as AHP1, DOF2.4, NHL1, CDF4, and ATARFB1A increased tolerance to cadmium stress by maining the chloroplast functions. In addition, we found that two chloroplast proteins PSBO1 and J3 are involved in regulating the function of chloroplasts, starch metabolism, and leaf vein development in response to cadmium stress. Further analysis revealed that COE2-mediated retrograde signaling protects chloroplast structure and function by regulating the expression of J3 and PsbO1, and managing the quality control of damaged chloroplasts via FC1 and PUB4. These findings provide insights into the mechanisms plants use to counteract the detrimental effects of cadmium stress.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
This letter reports a time resolved pump-probe reflectance spectroscopic study on moiré excitons in a twisted monolayer WS2/WSe2 heterostructure. By probing at the resonant energies of intralayer excitons, we observed their distinct temporal tracks under the influence of interlayer excitons, which we attribute to the discrepancy in spatial distribution of the intralayer excitons in different layers. We also observed that intralayer moiré excitons in WSe2 layer differ at decay rate, which reflects different locations of Wannier-like and charge-transfer intralayer excitons in a moiré cell. We concluded that the interlayer moiré excitons form within a few picoseconds and have the lifetime exceeding five nanoseconds. Our results provide insights into the nature of moiré excitons and the strain’s significant impact on their behaviour in twisted heterostructures, which could have important implications for the development of novel optoelectronic devices.

Trading Off Lives and Livelihoods
Authors: Bognar Greg 
Published: February 2025

AbstractPublic health emergencies sometimes require the restriction of civil liberties through social distancing: lockdowns, quarantines, the closure of public spaces and institutions, and so on. Social distancing measures can decrease mortality and morbidity, but they also cause social and economic harm. Policymakers have to make trade-offs between “lives and livelihoods,” while introducing only minimally necessary restrictions on civil liberties. Traditionally, cost-benefit analysis has played a central role in formulating these trade-offs. Recently, however, some philosophers have argued that the trade-offs should instead be made on the basis of contractualist moral theory. In this essay, I argue against the use of contractualism for this purpose.
