AbstractEffective therapies for reducing post‐acute sequelae of COVID‐19 (PASC) symptoms are lacking. Evaluate the association between monoclonal antibody (mAb) treatment or COVID‐19 vaccination with symptom recovery in COVID‐19 participants. The longitudinal survey‐based cohort study was conducted from April 2021 to January 2022 across a multihospital Colorado health system. Adults ≥18 years with a positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test were included. Primary exposures were mAb treatment and COVID‐19 vaccination. The primary outcome was time to symptom resolution after SARS‐CoV‐2 positive test date. The secondary outcome was hospitalization within 28 days of a positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test. Analysis included 1612 participants, 539 mAb treated, and 486 with ≥2 vaccinations. Time to symptom resolution was similar between mAb treated versus untreated patients (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.90, 95% CI: 0.77−1.04). Time to symptom resolution was shorter for patients who received ≥2 vaccinations compared to those unvaccinated (aHR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.31−1.88). 28‐day hospitalization risk was lower for patients receiving mAb therapy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.19−0.50) and ≥2 vaccinations (aOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.20−0.55), compared with untreated or unvaccinated status. Analysis included 1612 participants, 539 mAb treated, and 486 with ≥2 vaccinations. Time to symptom resolution was similar between mAb treated versus untreated patients (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 0.90, 95% CI: 0.77−1.04). Time to symptom resolution was shorter for patients who received ≥2 vaccinations compared to those unvaccinated (aHR: 1.56, 95% CI: 1.31−1.88). 28‐day hospitalization risk was lower for patients receiving mAb therapy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.19−0.50) and ≥2 vaccinations (aOR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.20−0.55), compared with untreated or unvaccinated status. COVID‐19 vaccination, but not mAb therapy, was associated with a shorter time to symptom resolution. Both were associated with lower 28‐day hospitalization.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe kinetics of total organic carbon (TOC) destruction during supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of glucose were studied at 400–500°C and 25 MPa in a 600 mL batch reactor. Both TOC and water concentrations are critical for the conversion of TOC in supercritical water, especially at longer residence times. Initially, it was assumed that the TOC destruction reaction followed first‐order kinetics ignoring the water concentration. However, experimental results showed that the feed‐to‐water ratio had a significant effect on TOC decomposition. Considering the water concentration in the reaction, the reaction orders of TOC (2.35) and water (1.45) were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis (the Runge‐Kutta method). The estimated pre‐exponential factor (k’) and activation energy (E) were calculated to be 8.1 ± 2/min and 90.37 ± 9.38 kJ/mol respectively.
Perceived economic mobility predicts evaluation of low‐fit co‐brands
Authors: Nie Xinyu , Wang Liangyan , Chan Eugene Y. 
Published: March 2024

AbstractCo‐branding is an effective marketing strategy that is widely used by brands to expand the market, but research on the influence of consumer‐level factors is limited, with predominant emphasis on brand‐level factors that predict acceptance of brands that are seemingly “different” from each other co‐branding with one another. This research explores the effect of perceived economic mobility on perceived co‐branding fit. Findings from Experiment 1 indicate that co‐brands low or moderate (vs. high) fit with one another are perceived more favorably when perceived economic mobility is higher. Experiment 2 further examines the proposed mechanism that we propose to be holistic thinking style behind the influence of perceived economic mobility on distant co‐branding evaluation, and it also rules out two alternative explanations. Experiment 3 replicates above findings with an American dataset. Our findings contribute to the co‐branding literature by proposing a novel antecedent—perceived economic mobility—of low‐fit co‐branding. Our findings also provide managerial guidelines for enhancing co‐branding effectiveness.

Published: March 2024

AbstractIn the field of textile technology, this study centers on towpreg—an integral component utilized in production techniques like tape laying and filament winding. Here, fibers are pre‐coated with resin, typically epoxy but not exclusively. Notably, towpreg retains a partially cured state, maintaining tackiness throughout the processing stages. The ultimate quality of the product manufactured with this towpreg is highly dependent on this initial material. This research highlights the importance of considering various factors that impact product quality. While not exhaustive, a systematic analysis of diverse towpreg parameters, including tack, resin content, and width, is provided. The work encompasses findings, challenges, and insights derived from towpreg manufacturing, incorporating the investigation of various experimental methodologies. The study also evaluates methodologies for laminated coupon production with towpreg, assessing their applicability in characterizing filament‐wound components. Although the article seems like a review, the authors aim to give a clear and holistic picture in one work instead of spreading information across many articles.Highlights
Techniques for the quantification of towpreg tack are presented.
Resin content distribution along towpreg length is presented.
Towpreg width variation was investigated, seen to be one of the major causes for the gaps and voids in a filament wound composite.
Coupon‐level characterization of towpreg through filament winding approach is presented.
Other filament winding parameters influencing the quality of the manufactured composite are discussed.

AbstractWith the development of 5G equipment, aerospace, sensors, thermal management devices and other fields in the direction of high power, high performance and miniaturization, the heat released during usage increases significantly, leaving great application prospects for heat dissipation materials. In spite of great attention paid to film materials due to their light weight and flexibility, they have the obvious disadvantage of poor thermal conductivity. In this work, carboxylated cellulose (CNF‐C)/dopamine‐coated nickel‐coated graphene (PDA‐Ni@GNS) composite films with high in‐plane thermal conductivity (in‐plane TC) have been fabricated by a simple vacuum‐assisted filtration method. In the prepared composite films, the flaky packing layers were found to be stacked orderly and form an excellent thermally conductive network, resulting in an increase in in‐plane TC by 322.1% (sample W4) as compared with that of neat films. By comparing the in‐plane TCs of the composite films with that of a commercial gasket, it was readily seen that the present composite films had fairly excellent heat dissipation properties. The composite exhibits not only sufficiently high in‐plane TC and tensile strength of 149.02 MPa but also exhibits hydrophobic property, imparting the composite films good working stability under extreme conditions, which ensured of their potential applications in thermal management materials.Highlights
The introduction of Ni promotes the construction of heat conduction path.
High in‐plane TC is obtained through layer‐by‐layer self‐assembly.
The modification of filler enhanced the mechanical properties of the films.
The modification of fillers led to the hydrophobicity of the film.
The introduction of PDA made the films have insulating properties.

Published: March 2024

AbstractFlexible nozzle extension technology has been extensively researched throughout the world, but traditional materials cannot meet the growing demands in harsh environments. Short‐cut carbon fiber‐reinforced nitrile rubber (CF/NBR) composites, which are similar to the phenolic impregnated carbon ablator, are currently a hot research topic in this field. The mechanical properties of CF/NBR composites were experimentally tested to study the change in the mechanical behavior of a rocket engine's flexible nozzle extension section under thermal coupling. As indicated by the results, existing models cannot accurately predict changes in materials' mechanical behavior. The theoretical foundation of the nonlinear viscoelastic intrinsic model of rubber is utilized. The uniaxial tensile intrinsic model of CF/NBR composites has been improved by introducing physical parameters, such as fiber reinforcement, strain rate‐dependent correction and temperature‐dependent correction coefficients, and fiber volume fraction. Results show that the intrinsic model developed in this article provides a guide to the uniaxial tensile mechanical behavior of randomly distributed short‐cut CF/NBR composites with known mass‐part formulations and fiber volume fractions at room temperature and under different pyrolysis conditions.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe biodegradable materials for the packaging sector have attracted much attention as they can effectively reduce the reliance on fossil fuel products. The introduction of two‐dimensional layered fillers is readily available for packaging materials to minimize costs while enhancing performance. However, few studies have investigated the molecular structure changes of OMMT to further modulate the comprehensive performance of polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB) materials. To fill this gap, we innovatively modified the surfactant's structure to regulate the embedding and dispersion of montmorillonite (OMMT) and interfacial bonding with the substrate, thus further examining the material's antibacterial and degrading properties and discussing mechanisms for the first time. The prepared C18M7@PHB materials present enhanced tensile strength (180%) and high thermal stability, excellent antimicrobial properties compared to the unmodified one. Both the water vapor and oxygen permeabilities of composites have decreased by 87% and 55%, respectively. Moreover, it is found that the composites exhibit various degradation cycles mainly depending on active agent chain length. This work lays a solid foundation for multifunctional packaging materials based on fillers with two‐dimensional layered structures.Highlights
Determining the ideal film's bulk ratio and active agent structure.
Optimizing the film's excellent tensile strength and antimicrobial properties.
Significantly blocking the infiltration of water vapor and oxygen.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe control of the regioselectivity of metal‐catalyzed α‐olefins polymerization is of everlasting interest. Most nickel and palladium catalysts show high regioselectivity involving 2,1‐insertion of α‐olefins and 1,ω‐enchainment chain‐straightening, especially α‐diimine nickel catalysts. In this contribution, we report extremely rare regioselective chain‐straightening polymerization of α‐olefins through 2,ω‐enchainment using unsymmetrical amine–imine nickel catalysts. The polymerizations of α‐olefins (1‐hexene, 1‐octene, and 1‐decene) were studied in detail, and the effects of catalyst structure, reaction temperature, and monomer concentration on the polymerization activity and the regioselectivity were examined. The unsymmetrical N‐substituents of the amine–imine nickel catalysts play a crucial role in the regioselectivity. High regioselectivity involving 80.4% 1,2‐insertion and 84.5% 2,ω‐enchainment is realized to produce amorphous polyolefins without melting temperatures.

AbstractBACKGROUNDSIn order to provide a long‐lasting formulation for spinosad (SP) targeting larval stages of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) and others alike, a SP tablet was developed based on microspheres, using polylactic acid as inside coating material. The microspheres were encapsulated using polyethylene glycol and 1‐hexadecanol to form a sustained‐release SP tablet. Micromorphology, active ingredient loading, structure identification, photolysis resistance and biological activity were evaluated in this report.RESULTS(i) The SP microspheres had an average particle size of 6.16 ± 2.28 μm, low adhesion and good dispersion as evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and morphology. (ii) The average active ingredient loading and encapsulation of SP microspheres were 32.80 ± 0.74% and 78.41 ± 2.22%, respectively. (iii) The chemical structure of encapsulated SP was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared and 1H‐nuclear magnetic resonance. (iv) The photostability of the microspheres and the tablets were evaluated. The results showed that DT50 (time required to dissipate 50% of the mass originally present) of SP was 0.95 days in microspheres and 6.94 days in tablets. (v) The long‐term insecticidal activity of SP tablets was investigated, and the tablet had a long‐lasting activity against the mosquito larvae, showing 100% larval mortality for 63 days.CONCLUSIONSThe study provided a new long‐lasting formulation of SP, which displayed good efficacy in the control of Ae. aegypti larvae. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
Better off in the city? Economic outcomes of rural out‐migration in Sweden—sibling study of cohorts 1960–1984
Authors: Sundvall Samuel , Junkka Johan 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis study examines disparities in income levels and employment status between individuals who migrate from rural areas and their siblings who remained in rural settings in Sweden for cohorts born 1960–1984. Utilizing comprehensive Swedish register data, we track the economic outcomes at age 35 or rural residents who migrated between ages 15 and 25, comparing them to non‐migrating siblings. Our analysis, employing binomial logit and log‐linear models for employment odds and income levels, respectively, reveals that while rural out‐migration generally leads to higher income, it does not significantly impact employment status. The study underscores the role of individual and family‐specific factors—such as gender and education—and broader time‐ and place‐dependent structures in mediating migration's effects. We find that income disparity between migrants and non‐migrants has increased since the 1990s and that the differences increase with the urbanization level of the destination.

AbstractA significant portion of human cancers are caused by oncoviruses (12%–25%). Oncoviruses employ various strategies to promote their replication and induce tumourigenesis in host cells, one of which involves modifying the gene expression patterns of the host cells, leading to the rewiring of genes and resulting in significant changes in cellular processes and signalling pathways. In recent studies, a specific mode of gene regulation known as circular RNA (circRNA)‐mediated competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks has emerged as a key player in this context. CircRNAs, a class of non‐coding RNA molecules, can interact with other RNA molecules, such as mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs), through a process known as ceRNA crosstalk. This interaction occurs when circRNAs, acting as sponges, sequester miRNAs, thereby preventing them from binding to their target mRNAs and modulating their expression. By rewiring the host cell genome, oncoviruses have the ability to manipulate the expression and activity of circRNAs, thereby influencing the ceRNA networks that can profoundly impact cellular processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and immune responses. This review focuses on a comprehensive evaluation of the latest findings on the involvement of virus‐induced reprogramming of host circRNA‐mediated ceRNA networks in the development and pathophysiology of human viral cancers, including cervical cancer, gastric cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Understanding these mechanisms can improve our knowledge of how oncoviruses contribute to human tumourigenesis and identify potential targets for developing optimised therapies and diagnostic tools for viral cancers.

AbstractHerein, a Safe‐and‐Sustainable‐by‐Design (SSbD) screening strategy on four different inorganic aerogel mats and two conventional mineral wools for ranking purposes is demonstrated. Given that they do not consist of particles, the release is first simulated, addressing three occupational exposure scenarios, realistic for their intended use as building insulators. No exposure to consumers nor to the environment is foreseen in the use phase, however, aerosols may be released during mat installation, posing an inhalation risk for workers. All four aerogel mats release more respirable dust than the benchmark materials and 60% thereof deposits in the alveolar region according to modelling tools. The collected aerogel dust allows for subsequent screening of hazard implications via two abiotic assays: 1) surface reactivity in human blood serum; 2) biodissolution kinetics in lung simulant fluids. Both aerogels and conventional insulators show similar surface reactivity. Differences in biodissolution are influenced by the specifically designed organic and inorganic structural modifications. Aerogel mats are better‐performing insulators (2‐fold lower thermal conductivity than the benchmark) However, this work demonstrates how investment decisions can be balanced with safety and sustainability aspects. Concepts of analogy and similarity thus support easily accessible methods to companies for safe and economically viable innovation with advanced materials.
Using a genre‐based approach to teach writing to elementary ESL students: A boon or a barrier?
Authors: Zohbie Aicha , Bhowmik Subrata 
Published: March 2024

AbstractA genre‐based approach to second language (L2) writing instruction has received traction due to its impact on helping L2 students improve their writing skills. This approach to teaching writing is particularly useful for young English language learners (ELLs), as it simultaneously focuses on their English language and writing skills development. Despite this, the genre‐based approach is often criticized for its apparent prescriptiveness. In this article, we make the case that a genre approach to writing instruction is a boon not a barrier to ELLs in elementary contexts. Drawing on the scholarship in early childhood literacy and L2 writing, we posit that a genre approach to writing instruction is helpful to elementary ELLs for the following reasons: (a) it is a phased approach, (b) it provides experiential learning opportunities, (c) it is goal‐oriented, and (d) it helps make students self‐efficacious and autonomous. Using these reasons as reference points, we also discuss implications for teaching and learning.
