Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTIn the research of estimating vehicle driving state parameters, the combination measurement unit of Global Navigation Satellite System and Inertial Navigation System (GNSS/INS) often faces challenges such as inaccurate models and reduced accuracy and robustness due to noise effects. To address these issues, this article applied characteristics of the state equation's innovation vector following a Gaussian distribution and the detection function following a Chi‐square distribution. First, the properties of normal distribution are utilized to adaptively set the threshold value of the detection function to identify outliers in the measurement data. Subsequently, a novel adaptive unscented Kalman filter with Chi‐square test (CAUKF) is designed, based on the adaptive window weight allocation and ‐score normalization, to correct abnormal data that do not conform to the characteristics of the innovation vector. Finally, comparative experiments on various algorithms are conducted using real‐world data in terms of accuracy and robustness, and the results are analyzed in practical vehicle applications. The experimental results demonstrate that, without introducing noise errors in the target system, CAUKF exhibits superior accuracy compared to other algorithms. Moreover, in the testing of data contaminated with noise, CAUKF shows sensitivity to outlier data while ensuring rapid recovery of abnormal data without affecting data characteristics or calculating measurement noise characteristics. In summary, the CAUKF method effectively enhances the accuracy and robustness of the system.

AbstractThe accelerated evolution of portable devices, electric vehicles, and energy storage systems has introduced heightened expectations regarding the cost, charge rates, lifespan, and safety of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). However, SIBs produce gas during the cycling and storage processes, leading to battery volume expansion, dislocation of the pole plates and diaphragm, and increased battery polarization. These factors contribute significantly to battery lifespan reduction and safety issues. Thus, gaining a thorough understanding of the gas generation mechanism in SIBs, as this will facilitate a profound comprehension of the intricate interactions between electrodes and electrolytes, and provide efficacious guidance for optimizing battery performance. This paper reviews recent advancements in the research on gas generation mechanisms in SIBs, with a particular focus on gas suppression strategies to enhance battery safety. Finally, this paper identifies current issues that remain to be addressed in the study of battery gas generation and suggests avenues for further exploration of gas generation mechanisms and the development of more effective gas suppression strategies. It is anticipated that this review will promote further advancements in the performance, gas suppression, and safety of SIBs, particularly in high‐energy‐density systems.

AbstractSilicon monoxide (SiOx, x ≈ 1) has emerged as a promising anode material for next‐generation lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to its high theoretical capacity. However, its commercial viability is hindered by low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and insufficient cycling stability. Herein, a mild chemical lithiation strategy is proposed that synergistically integrates lithium‐compensation and carbon‐coating to address these challenges, significantly boosting the electrochemical performance of SiO anode. Biphenyl‐lithium/2‐methyltetrahydrofuran (Bp‐Li/2‐MeTHF) is elaborately selected as a dual‐functional chemical lithiation reagent to ensure sufficient lithium incorporation into SiO at room temperature and simultaneously biphenyl (Bp*−) radical in‐situ polymerizes, then is converted into a carbon shell on a silicon/lithium silicates core upon subsequent thermal annealing (Li‐SiO@C). This unique structure of Li‐SiO@C effectively compensates for irreversible lithium loss and buffers volume expansion, leading to an exceptional ICE of 91.0% and remarkable capacity retention of 92.2% after 500 cycles, far surpassing the 72.9% ICE and 9.0% retention observed in the pristine SiO anode. Moreover, Li‐SiO@C demonstrates excellent moisture resistance that is well suited for aqueous‐based electrode coating processes. This work presents a simple yet effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performance of SiO anodes, offering strong potential for large‐scale applications in high‐energy‐density LIBs.

AbstractThe precise spatiotemporal control of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and scavenging remains pivotal for infected wound healing. However, conventional nanozymes fail to adaptively regulate ROS dynamics across inflammatory and proliferative phases. A near‐infrared (NIR)‐activated inverse oxide/alloy‐structured nanozyme (Co7Fe3/ZnO@C) is developed, featuring enzymatic cascade activities to tune ROS homeostasis through synergistic chemodynamic (CDT), photodynamic (PDT), and photothermal (PTT) therapies. The nanozyme orchestrates a self‐regulated cascade: peroxidase (POD)‐like activity initially generates bactericidal hydroxyl radicals in acidic wounds, while subsequent NIR triggers hot electron transfer from Co7Fe3 to ZnO, facilitating synchronized superoxide dismutase (SOD)‐like, catalase (CAT)‐like and hydroxyl radical antioxidant capacity (HORAC) activities to scavenge residual ROS. This cascaded network dynamically balances ROS production (POD) and scavenging (NIR‐driven SOD/CAT/HORAC), eradicating bacteria while resolving inflammation. In vitro/vivo studies have shown that the proposed method for maintaining ROS homeostasis can markedly enhance the rate of wound healing by the regulation of the inflammatory environment within the injured tissue and the facilitation of rapid re‐epithelialization. This work provides an intelligent nanozyme platform that simulates the function of natural enzymes and constructs a cascade reaction strategy to balance the antibacterial and anti‐inflammatory demands in the wound microenvironment.

Published: February 2025

AbstractGreen and eco‐friendly iron‐based materials for efficient Cr(VI) removal have attracted considerable interest, but challenges related to narrow working pH ranges and iron utilization efficiency still remain. Herein, inspired by the hot‐spot effect‐triggered confined coordination strategy, a biomass‐confined iron‐based reductant (CMC‐GTB/Febm) is designed for Cr(VI) reduction and detoxification. Electron enrichment and confinement on biomass carriers are achieved through electron transfer mediated by coordination interactions between anchored iron species and biomass. Thus, the CMC‐GTB/Febm achieved 99% Cr(VI) reduction at circumneutral pH (5–9), with a maximum removal capacity of 180 mg g−1. Under iron dosing close to the stoichiometric ratio (Fe/Cr = 3/1), the Cr(VI) removal kinetics and efficiency of CMC‐GTB/Febm are 53.2–870.5 and 5.5–48.8 times higher than those of micro‐ or nano‐zero‐valent iron (ZVI), respectively. Mechanistic analyses revealed that confined electron transfer is facilitated by coordination interactions between biomass and anchored iron species, which enhanced Cr(VI) reduction. Moreover, biomass‐tethered reduced Cr(III) is stabilized by electrostatic adsorption and biomass‐Cr(III) coordination, which ultimately detoxifies the phytotoxicity of Cr(VI). The conversion of this strategy to kilogram‐scale production and the simulated Cr(VI) removal in real water matrices are confirmed. This study provides a basis for the controlled design and industrial application of environmentally friendly iron‐based reductants.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis study assesses the energy use, ecological footprint, and greenhouse gas emissions from rice (Oryza sativa) production in Iran's Golestan province. The energy indices, greenhouse gas emissions, and ecological footprint in the rice paddies were calculated and analyzed after identifying the key inputs and outputs of these cropping systems. The energy use efficiency, energy productivity, specific energy, and net energy were measured to be 3.17, 0.19 kg MJ−1, 5.30 MJ kg−1, and 77,685.42 MJ ha−1, respectively. Additionally, the analysis revealed that the global warming potential, net carbon, and carbon efficiency ratio were 4565.35 kg carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2‐eq) ha−1, 1804.86 kg C ha−1, and 2.46, respectively. The ecological footprint was measured to be 2.68 global hectares, which was more than the carrying capacity of each hectare of land allocated for crop cultivation. Hence, the environmental sustainability of rice production in the Golestan province was low. Alternatives such as rapeseed (Brassica napus) could reduce the environmental impact of rice farming in the province. Sustainability could be improved by reducing the reliance on electricity and nitrogen fertilizer that are produced using fossil fuels.

Published: February 2025

AbstractGiven the scarcity of helium (He) resources, the application of scalable and energy‐efficient membrane‐mediated separation techniques for helium extraction holds substantial potential; however, few membrane materials have been reported for lean‐helium extraction from natural gas feeds (<1000 ppm). Herein, we present a facile strategy for fabricating the carbon molecular sieve (CMS) hollow fiber membranes with a hierarchical porous structure by tailoring the phase inversion behaviors of blend polymeric precursors and engineering the pyrolysis protocol. The CMS membranes composed of highly homogenized and inconsecutive macropores and size‐constrained ultramicropores in synergy exhibited superior separation performance in the separation of He/CH4. For instance, CA‐3‐700 membranes showed a He/CH4 ideal selectivity of 1427 and He permeability of 521 barrer. In addition, the membrane presented superior mixed gas separation performances under simulated helium‐contained high‐pressure natural gas at hundred ppm levels (400–1300 ppm), while demonstrating long‐term continuous stability (from a quinary mixture of He/CH4/N2/C2H6/CO2) over 120 h.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONStudies use multiple different instruments to measure dementia‐related outcomes, making head‐to‐head comparisons of interventions difficult.METHODSTo address this gap, we developed two methods to crosswalk estimated treatment effects on cognitive outcomes that are flexible, broadly applicable, and do not rely on strong distributional assumptions.RESULTSWe present two methods to crosswalk effect estimates using one measure to estimates using another measure, illustrated with global cognitive measures from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Specifically, we develop crosswalks for the following measures and associated change scores over time: the clinical dementia rating scale sum of box (CDR‐SB), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Mini‐Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores. Finally, a setting in which crosswalking is not appropriate is illustrated with plasma phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) concentration and global cognitive measures.DISCUSSIONGiven the inconsistent collection and reporting of dementia and cognitive outcomes across studies, these crosswalking methods offer a valuable approach to harmonizing and comparing results reported on different scales.Highlights

AbstractINTRODUCTIONLimited research has examined dementia prevalence and associated factors in Lesotho. This study investigates dementia prevalence and the associated factors in Lesotho.METHODSA survey in Lesotho included 1738 participants screened for dementia and potential associated factors with a focus on modifiable factors. Associations were evaluated using logistic regression models.RESULTSThe median age was 66 years, with 54.83% women. The prevalence of dementia was 4.89%. Those with depressive symptoms (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 3.97, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39–11.30), age ≥ 75 (aOR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.42–5.04), and underweight (aOR 2.30, 95% CI: 1.23–4.29) had increased odds of dementia. Those with moderate (aOR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.17–0.58) to high (aOR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.16–0.77) physical activity and obesity (aOR: 0.30, 95% CI: 0.11–0.80) presented lower odds for dementia.DISCUSSIONThis study provides a contemporary estimate of dementia prevalence in Lesotho, highlighting an association with modifiable factors.Highlights
In Lesotho there is a probable dementia prevalence of 4.89%, aligning with regional estimates for Africa.
Depression, older age, being underweight, and low physical activity were associated with increased odds of dementia.
Moderate to high physical activity and obesity were associated with lower dementia odds.
Further study of the association of dementia with potentially modifiable factors in low‐ and middle‐income countries is warranted.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONEating and swallowing difficulties are prevalent and distressing among persons living with dementia (PLWD). These challenges may be especially burdensome for PLWD in lower‐resourced settings, where environmental factors such as social support, health‐care infrastructure, and food access are critical for meeting quality standards of eating and swallowing care. However, clinical practices and research methods have not sufficiently focused on the lived environment to promote high‐quality, socially and culturally aligned management approaches.METHODSTo address this gap, we developed a conceptual framework informed by the literature, grounded in ecological systems and fundamental cause theories, and refined through iterative discussion.RESULTSOur framework highlights individual‐, system‐, and community‐level factors and resources influencing person‐centered eating and swallowing care for PLWD. It identifies areas at risk for inequitable care along the swallowing management continuum.DISCUSSIONWe propose future research areas to help health‐care providers reconcile the demands of eating and swallowing care with the lived realities of PLWD.Highlights
There are eating/swallowing care disparities among persons living with dementia.
We introduce a conceptual framework applying social and structural determinants of health to eating/swallowing care.
We also recommend areas to address disparities and improve eating/swallowing care.

Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) are powerful tools for rapidly constructing compound libraries with sufficient molecular diversity and complexity. Herein, to fully leverage a third aspect of molecular diversity enabled by the selenium‐nitrogen exchange (SeNEx) reaction between alkynes and benzoselenazolones, a novel CuI‐catalyzed three‐component reaction has been successfully developed. This reaction integrates SeNEx with CuAAC click chemistry, enabling rapid and regioselective synthesis of 1,4,5‐trisubstituted 5‐seleno‐1,2,3‐triazoles with high atom economy and good to excellent yields (65 examples, 50‐95%). Notably, this MCR demonstrates excellent functional group tolerance and features modular, predictable, robust, mild reaction conditions, and operational simplicity (air and water compatibility). Extensive mechanism studies have revealed that this reaction proceeds by a unique SeNEx‐CuAAC tandem reaction pathway, distinguishing it from conventional copper(I)‐catalyzed interrupted click reactions. Importantly, a mononuclear σ‐bound copper(I)‐acetylide Cu1 was synthesized and confirmed to be an efficient catalyst for the SeNEx reaction. This discovery provides crucial mechanistic insights into the preferential reactivity of alkynyl groups towards SeNEx over CuAAC. Furthermore, preliminary biological activity screening identified compound 14 as a potent inhibitor of Escherichia coli β‐glucuronidase (EcGUS), with an IC50 value of 3.16 μM. These findings underscore the significant potential of this MCR in synthetic chemistry, medical chemistry, and chemical biology.
The Knowledge and Perceptions of Recreational Anglers Related to Alien Plant Species in Freshwater Ecosystems: A Case Study From Hungary

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTThe value of recreational anglers' ecological knowledge and perceptions have come to prominence in the past few decades. Based on recent studies, their observations might include those of alien organisms and, therefore, might be particularly important in monitoring and revealing the causes of aquatic invasions. Although the number of registered anglers in Hungary has doubled in less than 5 years, exceeding 1 million by May 2024, little is known about their ecological knowledge. To learn more about anglers' knowledge and perceptions of alien plant species, 72 field interviews were conducted between December 2021 and May 2023 at four regularly fished freshwater bodies in Hungary: Hévíz Canal and Lakes Fényes, Balaton and Velence. During interviews, photographs of 12 alien plant species, occurring mostly at thermal water habitats, were shown to anglers as their observations on the effects of biological plant invasions were recorded. Overall, most anglers were unable to name all of the presented species, but at least half of the respondents could confidently identify four species, whereas those regularly fishing at thermal water habitats were able to identify correctly more of the invasive plants. Sixteen of the 72 interviewed anglers were engaged in aquaristics, two of whom confessed that a plant species (i.e., water lettuce [Pistia stratiotes]) and a fish species (i.e., goldfish [Carassius auratus]) previously held in aquaria had been intentionally released into the wild by them. Our research underlines the importance of anglers' observations about alien organisms, but anglers also have the potential to promote aquatic invasions, especially if they are aquarists too. Anglers might also facilitate early detection of plant invasives before biological invasions occur. We suggest that anglers are an untapped resource in defining and implementing conservation strategies that could counter the spread and establishment of aquatic plant invasives.

Published: February 2025

AbstractDrawing is a teaching tool that provides numerous benefits to student learning, including enhanced knowledge retention, improved observation skills, and increased engagement with course content. However, these exercises also place high cognitive demands on students and require a considerable time commitment. To acknowledge and celebrate the effort students invest in their drawings; while also giving these illustrations curricular significance, a gallery walk can be an effective teaching strategy. During a gallery walk, students move around a learning space to view, analyze, and discuss work displayed on the walls. This article describes an adaptation of a gallery walk, named a ‘showcase review session’, which was implemented in an undergraduate histology course. This optional session highlighted highly accurate assignment drawings while offering a content review before the final examination. The course instructor created review questions associated with the student drawings, which were projected onto screens around the room. Students could visit the session at any time, with the questions cycling continuously, and the course instructor and teaching assistants circulated to answer questions. Students responded positively to the session, noting that it helped them prepare for their upcoming practical laboratory examination and that showcasing student work added value to the course. Showcase review sessions like the one described can be applied across disciplines, giving students the opportunity to learn from their peers' work while effectively reviewing course content in an engaging and interactive environment.
