Published: March 2024

Abstract
Coastal wetlands represent a disproportionately large global carbon (C) sink. However, they are threatened by the ever-expanding aquaculture and being lost at critical rates. Conversion of coastal wetlands to aquaculture systems has been predicted to result in significant C losses, yet accurate assessments of greenhouse gas (GHG) budgets associated with this major perturbation are rarely available. Here we show that the conversion of Spartina alterniflora saltmarsh to mariculture ponds in China induced a dramatic shift from net atmospheric GHG sink (‒13.8 Mg CO2eq ha–1 yr–1) to net GHG sources (2.16 Mg CO2eq ha–1 yr–1), creating a full GHG debt of 15.9 Mg CO2eq ha–1 yr–1. The loss of foregone GHG mitigation capacity of saltmarsh makes the largest contribution (86.4%), while only 15.6% of the total debt arises from direct CO2, CH4, and N2O fluxes in the mariculture ponds. But considering the main drivers of GHG emissions from animal protein production, mariculture has much lower GHG-cost than inland freshwater aquaculture and terrestrial beef, small ruminants, and pork production on a kg CO2eq kg‒1 protein basis. The low-C mariculture could be further realized by avoiding devastation of vegetated coastal wetlands and minimizing CH4 emission by carrying out in high-salinity waters.

Abstract

This study introduces an innovative strategy, termed the "epoxidation & combination" approach, to create cost-effective and mechanically enhanced 3D printing photocurable materials by using waste cooking oil (WCO) as raw material. Within this strategy, WCO is first subjected to epoxidation, yielding epoxy waste cooking oil (E-WCO). Subsequently, E-WCO is combined with triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) to formulate a E-WCO plasticized TEGDMA photocurable resin suitable for 3D printing. Functioning as a plasticizing component, E-WCO effectively resides within the TEGDMA substrate with minimal migration (0.30% at 135℃ for 24 hours). Furthermore, appropriate addition of E-WCO significantly enhances the mechanical properties of the TEGDMA-based resin, especially in terms of toughness. The optimized composition of the E-WCO/TEGDMA 3D printing resin, with an E-WCO : TEGDMA mass ratio of 1:15, demonstrates exceptional mechanical strength. This includes a tensile strength of 16.74 MPa, an elongation at break of 32.93%, and an impact strength of 3.94 kJ/m2, surpassing the benchmarks of pure TEGDMA. When compared to commercial epoxy soybean oil (ESO), E-WCO provides an equivalent plasticizing effect, effectively enhancing material flexibility. The transformation of WCO into the E-WCO/TEGDMA resin not only promotes the high-value utilization of WCO but also holds significant potential for developing low-cost and sustainable 3D printing consumables.

Abstract

Multichannel meta-imaging, inspired by the parallel-processing capability of neuromorphic computing, offers significant advancements in resolution enhancement and edge discrimination in imaging systems, extending even into the mid- to far-infrared spectrum. Currently, high-performance multichannel infrared imaging systems typically consist of separate detector arrays and gratings or multi-camera integration, which require complex circuit design and heavy power consumption, hindering the implementation of advanced human-eye-like imagers. Here, we present a novel approach for printable graphene plasmonic photodetector arrays with zero-bias operation driven by a ferroelectric superdomain for multichannel meta-infrared imaging with enhanced edge discrimination. The fabricated photodetectors exhibited multiple spectral responses by directly rescaling the ferroelectric superdomain instead of reconstructing the gratings. We also demonstrated enhanced and faster shape classification (98.1%) and edge detection (98.2%) using our multichannel infrared images compared with single-channel detectors. Our proof-of-concept photodetector arrays simplify multichannel infrared imaging systems and hold great potential for applications in efficient edge detection in human-brain-type machine vision.

Authors: Li Jian'e , Zhang Yun 
Published: March 2024

Abstract
The preservation of the region's biodiversity is seriously threatened by the area's growing urbanization. Because of the abundance of biodiversity in Xishuangbanna Prefecture, it is crucial to create wilderness networks that link scattered wilderness areas and enhance network connection to preserve wilderness areas and ecosystem stability. Boolean overlay and Weighted Linear Combination (WLC), two methods for integrating wilderness mapping, were used in this work to identify the wilderness patches and wilderness maps. Morphological spatial pattern analysis (MSPA) and connectivity analysis were used to locate the wilderness source and structural corridor, respectively. The wilderness source was then extracted using the Minimal Cumulative Resistance Mode (MCR) model and the Linkage Mapper potential corridor tool. Construct the wilderness network by superimposing each indicator, and optimize the wilderness network by adding wilderness sources, building footstones, and adding wilderness corridors. Results show that the constructed wilderness network included 57.37hm2 of structural corridors, 15 wilderness source areas, 31 wilderness potential corridors, and 27 ecological pinch points. The wilderness network was optimized by adding 4 wilderness source sites, 9 stepping stones, and 6 wilderness addition corridors, the optimized wilderness network connectivity was improved, with the α, β, and γ values increasing by 0.16, 0.29, and 0.11, respectively. To better protect areas of high wilderness value in the biodiversity tropics along South-west China's border and enhance the nature reserve system, this study analyses the wilderness network's connectivity based on naturalness and connectivity. It also offers reference data for the development of policies such as territorial spatial planning, the delineation of the ecological protection red line, and the ecological protection and restoration of mountains, waters, forests, lakes, and grasslands.
Disseminated Mycobacterium haemophilum infection in an immunocompromised host: A complex case with immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) manifestation

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Background
Mycobacterium haemophilum is a rare but significant opportunistic pathogen known to cause infections in immunocompromised individuals. Despite its low prevalence, disseminated infections with this organism can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in hosts with compromised immune systems. The phenomenon of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) further complicates the clinical course and management of such cases.
Case Presentation
: A 39-year-old male patient with a medical history of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) who underwent a matched unrelated donor haematopoietic stem cell transplantation four years prior presented with fever and rash affecting all four limbs and the back. Subsequent evaluation confirmed a diagnosis of cutaneous Mycobacterium haemophilum infection, which was found to have disseminated to multiple organ systems including the lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and nasal turbinate. Treatment initiation resulted in immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS), posing challenges in managing the infection in the context of heightened immune response post-reconstitution. This case highlights the complexities involved in managing disseminated mycobacterial infections with IRIS following immune reconstitution.
Conclusion
This case highlights the diagnostic dilemmas and therapeutic considerations in managing disseminated Mycobacterium Haemophilum infection in immunocompromised hosts. The manifestation of IRIS further complicates the clinical course, necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to optimize patient outcomes. Our experience underscores the importance of early recognition, tailored antimicrobial therapy, and meticulous monitoring in managing such cases, with implications for clinicians caring for immunocompromised patients.

Published: March 2024

Abstract

Background and Aim: There is increasing evidence that semen quality reflects the overall health status of individuals and is a marker of future health. In addition, reproductive hormones have significant regulatory effects on the immune system and the function of inflammatory cells. In this study, it was aimed to investigate whether baseline semen quality and serum reproductive hormone levels are potential indicators of susceptibility to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection.
Methods: The medical records of a total of 1303 patients who underwent semen analysis and hormonal evaluation including total testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin (PRL for infertility or other medical reasons were retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, 316 were determined to have previously been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Results:There was no statistically significant difference in baseline hormone profile (FSH, LH, PRL, and total testosterone) and semen parameters between patients exposed to SARS-CoV-2 infection and non-exposed patients.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that baseline semen quality and serum reproductive hormone levels (total testosterone, PRL, FSH, and LH) are not indicators of susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Abstract
Objectives: Vertebroplasty via extrapedicular approach is used in privileged patients in osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Many experimental studies but few clinical studies were conducted. This study aimed to compare extrapedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty to a transpedicular approach radiologically.
Material and Methods: Seventy-nine vertebrae of 53 patients who were treated by extrapedicular and transpedicular vertebroplasty were included in the study. The anterior, middle, and posterior heights of the compressed vertebrae were measured by a technique described by Genant et al. preoperatively and postoperatively by two independent researchers on lateral plain radiographs of the patients. Both the systemic and local complications related to the procedures were enrolled.
Results: Thirty vertebrae were thoracal, and 49 vertebrae were lumbar. The mean follow-up was 14.2±3.6 Months. Thirteen thoracal vertebrae and 14 lumbar vertebrae were operated on via extrapedicular approach, and 17 thoracal, and 35 lumbar vertebrae via transpedicular approach. The mean height of the vertebrae's anterior, middle, and posterior heights was 17.8±6.9 mm, 15.7±6.5 mm, and 25.4±5.2 mm. There was a statistically significant increase in the height of all three columns in both approaches. There were no differences in terms of adjacent and distant fractures. Twenty-three patients had cement leakage into extraosseous tissues. Thirteen patients to the paravertebral soft tissues, seven patients to the intervertebral disc space, and three to the paravertebral vessels.
Conclusion: Extrapedicular percutaneous vertebroplasty is a reliable and effective method similar to transpedicular route in terms of regaining all vertebral column height regain and complications.

Authors: Jozaghkar Mohammad Reza , Ziaee Farshid 
Published: March 2024

Abstract

In this work, poly(α-methyl styrene) (PAMS) was synthesized through living anionic polymerization and characterized by 13C NMR, 1H NMR, GPC, TGA, DSC. The kinetics study was performed using multi-stage dosing of initiator. The results obtained via GPC analysis revealed that polydispersity index of the synthesized PAMS was close to the true value. Moreover, multi-stage dosing of initiator offers valuable and accurate method to determine propagation rate constant and initial impurities value of the system. 13C NMR analysis demonstrated that Bernoullian statics model exhibits a superior fit compared to 1st -order Markov statics model for the assigned sequence. Furthermore, the synthesized PAMS presents higher degree of racemic addition with Pm=0.439. 1H NMR spectroscopy was utilized to ascertain number-average molecular weight of the synthesized samples, corroborating the values estimated through GPC analysis. From the thermal analysis, it was shown that PAMS containing very low molecular weight demonstrates negative glass transition temperature and broad thermal decomposition range.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
The increasing food demand for a growing population has resulted in the intensification and modernization of agriculture leading to an increasing use of pesticides to protect crops against insects, weeds, fungi, and other pests. However, these chemical compounds can cause adverse effects on the environment due to their low biodegradability and toxicity. This study assesses the use of DuPont FilmTec™ NF270 and FilmTec™ XLE membranes for the removal of six pesticides (atrazine, simazine, isoproturon, metolachlor ESA, 2,4-D, and chlorothalonil) in aqueous streams. The results reported average rejection rates of 29.25–89.36% and > 97% in the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes respectively, showcasing that membrane technology is effective for the removal of these pollutants from wastewater streams. However, a customised selection of the membrane (nanofiltration/reverse osmosis) should be performed depending on the targeted pollutants in order to balance the pesticide rejection and energy consumption for each market application.

Published: March 2024

Abstract
Backgroun
Birth asphyxia stands out as a significant factor contributing to morbidity and mortality among newborns. However, the determinants of birth asphyxia have not been thoroughly investigated within the local context, particularly in this specific area. Hence, this study aims to identify these determinants to tackle the issue effectively.
Objectives
The goal of this study is to pinpoint the determinants of birth asphyxia at Bekoji Public Hospital in Bekoji Town, Arsi Zone, Oromia Region, Southeast Ethiopia, in 2023.
Methods
A case-control study was conducted between June 1, 2023, and August 30, 2023. A total of 198 newborns (75 cases and 123 controls) at Bekoji Public Hospital were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. Data collection involved a checklist for record review and an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The data were entered into EpiData version 7.1 and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Variables with a P-value < 0.25 were subjected to multivariable regression analysis. The Odds Ratio estimated with a 95% Confidence Interval was utilized to indicate the strength of association, with a significance level set at P < 0.05.
Results
196 mothers of newborns (73 cases and 123 controls) were interviewed, resulting in a response rate of 98.9%. Factors such as prolonged duration of labor (AOR = 2.54; [95% CI: 1.78, 6.39]), delivery by Caesarean section (AOR = 0.64; [95% CI: 0.004, 1.114]), presence of stained amniotic fluid (AOR = 0.473; [95% CI: 0.180, 1.242]), and non-cephalic fetal presentation (AOR = 2.12; [95% CI: 1.019, 3.80]) were identified as predictors of birth asphyxia. Additionally, being male (AOR = 1.885; [95% CI: 0.899, 3.950]) was also found to be a predictive factor for birth asphyxia.
Conclusion and Recommendations:
Duration of labor, fetal presentation, type of amniotic fluid, mode of delivery, and the gender of newborns emerged as significantly associated factors with birth asphyxia. As a result, interventions targeting these factors, particularly focusing on duration of labor and fetal presentation, should be rigorously implemented.

Abstract

Neutrons, owing to their unique properties, serve as indispensable probes for investigating the structure and dynamics of materials across various length scales. The scientific community utilizing neutron research infrastructures encompasses a diverse range of disciplines, making it challenging to quantify its scientific and societal impact. To address this challenge, we apply Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques to analyze the scientific output of the European neutron science community. Leveraging open-source software toolkits, our method allows for the quantitative assessment of community evolution and research focus. Our analysis reveals consistent growth in the neutron community despite a reduction in sources, underscoring the enduring significance of neutron methods in scientific research. Furthermore, an increase in unique authors and an even distribution of publications across diverse scientific topics highlight the community's interdisciplinary nature and collaborative spirit. Beyond neutron scattering, our methodology holds promise for a broad range of scientific communities reliant on Large Research Infrastructures (LRIs), offering opportunities for collaboration, optimization of experimental approaches, and informed decision-making by governmental and funding bodies.
