AbstractOptimizing the local electronic structure of electrocatalysts can effectively lower the energy barrier of electrochemical reactions, thus enhancing the electrocatalytic activity. However, the intrinsic contribution of the electronic effect is still experimentally unclear. In this work, the electron injection‐incomplete discharge approach to achieve the electron accumulation (EA) degree on the nickel‐iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) is proposed, to reveal the intrinsic contribution of EA toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Such NiFe LDH with EA effect results in only 262 mV overpotential to reach 50 mA cm−2, which is 51 mV‐lower compared with pristine NiFe LDH (313 mV), and reduced Tafel slope of 54.8 mV dec−1 than NiFe LDH (107.5 mV dec−1). Spectroscopy characterizations combined with theoretical calculations confirm that the EA near concomitant Vo can induce a narrower energy gap and lower thermodynamic barrier to enhance OER performance. This study clarifies the mechanism of the EA effect on OER activity, providing a direct electronic structure modulation guideline for effective electrocatalyst design.

Published: April 2024

AbstractMetal halide perovskite single crystals are emerging candidates for X‐ray detection, however, it is challenging for growth of thickness‐controlled single‐crystal wafer on commercial backplanes, limiting their practical imaging application. Herein, integration of micrometer‐thick methylammonium lead triiodide (MAPbI3) single‐crystal wafer on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by methylamine (MA)‐induced interface recrystallization is reported. Through selection of hole transport material with rich functional group, intimate interface contact with low trap density can be achieved, leading to superior carrier transport properties and homogeneous photoresponse. The as‐fabricated X‐ray detectors exhibit high sensitivity of 1.4 × 104 µC Gyair−1 cm−2 and low detection limit of 177 nGyair s−1, which are comparable to previous reports based on free‐standing MAPbI3 bulk crystals. This work provides a feasible strategy for constructing substrate‐integrated single‐crystal perovskite wafers with controlled thickness, which may promote practical imaging application of perovskite X‐ray detectors.

AbstractTin‐lead (Sn‐Pb) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have gained interest as candidates for the bottom cell of all‐perovskite tandem solar cells due to their broad absorption of the solar spectrum. A notable challenge arises from the prevalent use of the hole transport layer, PEDOT:PSS, known for its inherently high doping level. This high doping level can lead to interfacial recombination, imposing a significant limitation on efficiency. Herein, NaOH is used to dedope PEDOT:PSS, with the aim of enhancing the efficiency of Sn‐Pb PSCs. Secondary ion mass spectrometer profiles indicate that sodium ions diffuse into the perovskite layer, improving its crystallinity and enlarging its grains. Comprehensive evaluations, including photoluminescence and nanosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, confirm that dedoping significantly reduces interfacial recombination, resulting in an open‐circuit voltage as high as 0.90 V. Additionally, dedoping PEDOT:PSS leads to increased shunt resistance and high fill factor up to 0.81. As a result of these improvements, the power conversion efficiency is enhanced from 19.7% to 22.6%. Utilizing NaOH to dedope PEDOT:PSS also transitions its nature from acidic to basic, enhancing stability and exhibiting less than a 7% power conversion efficiency loss after 1176 h of storage in N2 atmosphere.
Numerical investigation of corroded reinforced concrete exterior beam‐column joints under quasi‐static reverse cyclic loading
Authors: Dangwal Shubham , Singh Heaven 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe performance of corroded exterior beam‐column joints (BCJs) at varying levels of corrosion‐induced damage has been investigated in the current research study using numerical simulation. Two reinforcement detailing regimes, that is, non‐seismic traditional detailing in accordance with IS 456:2000 and seismically detailed as per IS 13920:2016, were adopted. A three‐dimensional (3D) nonlinear finite‐element (FE) model has been proposed using the ABAQUS software. The accuracy of the numerical model was verified by the results reported in the experimental study available in the published literature. The numerical results reported a significant reduction of approximately 54.24% and 43.9% in the peak load‐carrying capacity of maximum corroded non‐seismically and seismically detailed BCJs, respectively, when compared with that of uncorroded specimens. The corrosion level influences the damage progression. The present FE model was observed to correctly capture the ultimate failure mode of the tested specimens, indicating a good correlation with the experimental results.
RETRACTED: Leptin receptor Gln223Arg and Lys109Arg polymorphisms may be associated with HBV‐related hepatocellular carcinoma risk: A system review and meta‐analysis

AbstractIncreasing evidence has suggested a strong association of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) susceptibility and Gln223Arg (rs1137101) and Lys109Arg (rs1137100) polymorphisms in leptin receptor (LEPR) genes. To provide a quantitative assessment for such correlation, we reviewed all related systems and conducted meta‐analysis for case and control researches. A literature search of Web of Science, EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus as well as China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases was collected. 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) together with odds ratios (ORs) were calculated. Five case–control researches consisting of 1323 cases and 1919 control cases were incorporated into meta‐analysis. Researches indicated A‐allelic and AA genotype of rs1137101 were substantially related to boosted susceptibility of hepatitis B virus (HBV)‐related HCC (mutant model, OR = 1.81, 95% CI = 1.36–2.41, p < .001; allelic model, OR = 1.55, 95% CI = 1.32–1.83, p < .001). On the contrary, we observed GG genotype of rs1137101 substantially related to reduced risk of HBV‐related HCC (wild model, OR 0.59, 95%CI = 0.46–0.75, p < .001). We observed AA genotype of rs1137100 relevant to boosted HCC risk (mutant model, OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.14–2.01, p = .005) as well as in those with HBV‐related HCCs (homozygous model, OR = 2.12, 95%CI = 1.49–3.02, p < .001; mutant model, OR = 1.67, 95%CI = 1.23–2.26, p = .001). G‐allele and AA genotype of rs1137101 might be in connection with boosted HBV‐related HCC susceptibility, and wild‐type GG genotype might prevent diseases. AA genotype of rs1137100 might also improve HBV‐related HCC susceptibility. Such conclusions ought to be validated by larger and better‐designed researches.

AbstractCurrently, a large variety of infrastructures are targeting 3D models. Recently, several overview reports on extant platforms and repositories [1–5] and 3D visualization frameworks and formats [6] were compiled. Infrastructures differ from services by including tools or services and facilities for operation. Particularly for 3D models, there is a main difference between such as repositories and aggregators for storing, collecting, and preserving 3D data as well as 3D viewers or virtual research environments that allow access to 3D models and research activities with them.
Towards an Intensional Notion of Harmony
Authors: Tranchini Luca 
Published: April 2024

AbstractIn this chapter we discuss how the intensional account of harmony sketched in the first chapter can be developed in a systematic way for a class of connectives whose rules are obtained in a uniform way using an inversion principle. To handle disjunction and disjunction-like connectives, the formulation of the expansions requires particular care. We discuss and compare two different ways of formulating the inversion principle and finally we investigate the prospects of developing an account of harmony for connectives whose rules do not obey inversion, pointing at the weakness of the approaches proposed in the literature so far.
Validity, Sense and Denotation in the Face of Paradoxes
Authors: Tranchini Luca 
Published: April 2024

AbstractWhich modifications does the account of PTS developed in the second chapter need to undergo for it to be applicable to languages containing paradoxical expressions? We argue that one of the basic tenets of Prawitz-Dummett PTS—namely, the definition of the correctness of an inference as validity preservation—must be given up. As a result, the proposed account of PTS is enriched by introducing a notion of sense alongside the one of denotation. Paradoxical derivations are shown to act as the proof-theoretic analog of singular terms endowed with sense but lacking a denotation. The question of which class of derivations should be regarded as having a denotation is reconsidered, and we show the consequences of the choice of different criteria of identity of proofs for the analysis of languages containing paradoxical expressions.
Two Kinds of Difficulties
Authors: Tranchini Luca 
Published: April 2024

AbstractTwo distinct kinds of cases, going back to Crabbé and Ekman, show that the Tennant-Prawitz criterion for paradoxicality overgenerates, that is, there are derivations which are intuitively non-paradoxical but which fail to normalize. We argue that a solution to “Ekman’s paradox” consists in restricting the set of admissible reduction procedures to those that do not yield a trivial notion of identity of proofs. We then discuss a different kind of solution, due to von Plato, and recently advocated by Tennant, consisting in reformulating natural deduction elimination rules in general (or parallelized) form. Developing intuitions of Ekman we show that the adoption of general rules has the consequence of hiding redundancies within derivations. Once reductions to get rid of the hidden redundancies are devised, it is clear that the adoption of general elimination rules offers no remedy to the overgeneration of the Prawitz-Tennant analysis. In this way, we indirectly provide further support for our own solution to Ekman’s paradox.
Clusters
Authors: Barrientos Armando 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThe chapter studies differences and similarities in social protection institutions across countries in the region with the aim of identifying country groupings or clusters. The methodological approach implemented was borrowed from the literature in social policy regimes. The grouping of countries is based on the causal outcomes of social protection institutions—employment, protection, and incorporation—and repeated for the periods associated with institutional development. The results largely confirm the findings in the social policy regime literature. There are three main clusters of countries: Southern cone countries plus Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama; Andean countries including Paraguay; and Central American countries. Repeating the cluster analysis for different periods characterised by social protection reforms provides additional insights. The temporal analysis suggests a measure of continuity in the country groupings over time, but it also shows disruption in the membership of the clusters during the neoliberal period. Cluster memberships loosen up during this period, especially for countries like Chile and Mexico. Paying attention to measures of the distribution of transfers introduces fluidity in the membership sets of Andean and Central American countries.
Mixed boundary conditions and double-trace like deformations in Celestial holography and Wedge-like holography
Authors: Fukada Machiko , Miyata Akihiro 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
According to the AdS/CFT dictionary, adding a relevant double-trace deformation f ∫ O2 to a holographic CFT action is dual to imposing mixed Neumann/Dirichlet boundary conditions for the field dual to O in AdS. We observed similar behaviour in codimension-two flat space holographies. We consider deformations of boundary conditions in flat spacetimes under flat space codimension-two holographies, Celestial holography and Wedge-like holography. In the former Celestial-holographic approach, we imposed boundary conditions on initial and final bulk states in the scattering. We find that these non-trivial boundary conditions in the bulk induce “double deformations” on the Celestial CFT side, which can be understood as an analogy of double trace deformations in the usual AdS/CFT. We compute two-point bulk scattering amplitudes under the non-trivial deformed boundary conditions. In the latter Wedge-like holography approach, we consider mixed Neumann/Dirichlet boundary conditions on the null infinity of the light-cone. We find that this mixing induces a renormalization flow in the dual Wedge CFT side under the Wedge holography, as in the usual AdS/CFT. We argue that the discrepancy between the Wedge two-point function and the Celestial two-point function originates from a sensitivity of bulk massless fields to a regularization parameter to use the usual AdS/CFT techniques.

AbstractMelanoma has the highest propensity among solid tumors to metastasize to the brain. Melanoma brain metastases (MBM) are a leading cause of death in melanoma and affect 40–60% of patients with late-stage disease. Therefore, uncovering the molecular mechanisms behind MBM is necessary to enhance therapeutic interventions. Vascular mimicry (VM) is a form of neovascularization linked to invasion, increased risk of metastasis, and poor prognosis in many tumor types, but its significance in MBM remains poorly understood. We found that VM density is elevated in MBM compared to paired extracranial specimens and is associated with tumor volume and CNS edema. In addition, our studies indicate a relevant role of YAP and TAZ, two transcriptional co-factors scarcely studied in melanoma, in tumor cell-vasculogenesis and in brain metastasis. We recently demonstrated activation of the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway and increased degradation of its downstream targets YAP and TAZ in a metastasis impaired cell line model. In the current study we establish the utility of anti-YAP/TAZ therapy in mouse models of metastatic melanoma whereby treatment effectively inhibits VM and prolongs survival of mice with MBM. The data presented herein suggest that VM may be an important and targetable mechanism in melanoma and that VM inhibition might be useful for treating MBM, an area of high unmet clinical need, thus having important implications for future treatment regimens for these patients.
Impacts of demand and supply-side interventions on South Korea’s housing markets: a dynamic housing-CGE analysis
Authors: Kim Euijune , Kim Ayoung , Nam Kyung-Min 
Published: April 2024

AbstractThis paper examines the impacts of housing market policies in Korea by developing a dynamic computable general equilibrium model integrating regional housing markets and multiregional mobility. We compare simulation outcomes of demand- and/or supply-side approaches in housing market interventions and address how these various policy instruments affect housing prices, demand, and household welfare. Policy simulation results suggest that supply-based interventions would be more effective than housing tax policies for cooling down overheated housing markets without decreasing consumer welfare. Tax-based demand-side approaches result in a 1.8–2.2% housing price drop and a 1.1–1.2% welfare decline annually between 2021 and 2024. In the supply-side policy, investing in housing construction leads to 3.4–4.1% lower housing prices and 1.5–1.8% enhanced welfare.

Abstract3-Bromofluoranthene (3-BrFlu) is the secondary metabolite of fluoranthene, which is classified as a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, through bromination and exists in the fine particulate matter of air pollutants. Endothelial dysfunction plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular and vascular diseases. Little is known about the molecular mechanism of 3-BrFlu on endothelial dysfunction in vivo and in vitro assay. In the present study, 3-BrFlu included concentration-dependent changes in ectopic angiogenesis of the sub-intestinal vein and dilation of the dorsal aorta in zebrafish. Disruption of vascular endothelial integrity and up-regulation of vascular endothelial permeability were also induced by 3-BrFlu in a concentration-dependent manner through pro-inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells, namely, SVEC4-10 cells. Generation of pro-inflammatory mediator PGE2 was induced by 3-BrFlu through COX2 expression. Expression of COX2 and generation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNFα and IL-6, were induced by 3-BrFlu through phosphorylation of NF-κB p65, which was mediated by phosphorylation of MAPK, including p38 MAPK, ERK and JNK. Furthermore, generation of intracellular ROS was induced by 3-BrFlu, which is associated with the down-regulated activities of the antioxidant enzyme (AOE), including SOD and catalase. We also found that 3-BrFlu up-regulated expression of the AOE and HO-1 induced by 3-BrFlu through Nrf-2 expression. However, the 3-BrFlu-induced upregulation of AOE and HO-1 expression could not be revised the responses of vascular endothelial dysfunction. In conclusion, 3-BrFlu is a hazardous substance that results in vascular endothelial dysfunction through the MAPK-mediated-NFκB pro-inflammatory pathway and intracellular ROS generation.
Interconnected Codons: Unravelling the Epigenetic Significance of Flanking Sequences in CpG Dyads
Authors: Creasey Leo Douglas , Tauber Eran 
Published: April 2024

AbstractHypothesizing that CpG codon dyads, formed by consecutive codons containing a cytosine-guanine pair (NNC-GNN), may play a crucial role in gene function, we conducted an extensive analysis to investigate their distribution and conservation within mammalian genes. Our findings reveal that genes characterized by a high density of CpG codon dyads are notably associated with homeobox domains and RNA polymerase II transcription factors. Conversely, genes exhibiting low CpG codon dyad density have links to DNA damage repair and mitosis. Importantly, our study identifies a re-markable increase in expressed genes that harbor CpG during embryonic development, suggesting their potential involvement in gene regulation at these developmental stages. These results under-score the functional significance of CpG codon dyads in DNA methylation and gene expression, fur-ther demonstrating the coevolution of consecutive codons and their contribution to codon usage bias.

Published: April 2024

Abstract
Background
Studies have described various surgical maneuvers in rhinoplasty to limit thickening from excessive scarring in the supratip region. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of three maneuvers—a simple suture, a U suture, and bolster dressing—used to avoid supratip deformity in a rabbit model.

Methods
Thirty-two male New Zealand white rabbits were included. The animals were divided into four groups, and dissection was performed in the supra-perichondrial plane up to the supratip region through an open rhinoplasty incision. After dissection, the following approaches were applied to the supratip region: Group 1, simple approximation suture; Group 2, U suture; Group 3, bolster dressing; and Group 4 (control group), no suture. All animals were sacrificed after 12 weeks. Histological analysis was performed.

Results
In Group 4, scar thickness was significantly greater than in the other groups (p < 0.05). Group 3 had greater scar thickness than Group 2 (p < 0.05). The ratio of scar thickness to skin thickness was higher in Group 4 compared with the other groups (p < 0.05). Finally, there was no difference in the ratio of scar thickness to skin thickness between Groups 1, 2, and 3 (p > 0.05).

Conclusions
In this study, it was concluded that surgical methods using sutures in the supratip region reduced scar thickness in a rabbit model, and these surgical methods had similar levels of effectiveness.
