Published: March 2024

AbstractGenetic research and testing are increasingly important for understanding and treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. We aimed to explore how attitudes toward genetic research among clinical and research teams impacted the engagement in genetic research and the integration of genetic insights into clinical practice. We conducted 53 semistructured interviews and focus groups with patients, clinicians, and researchers from nine UK Pulmonary Hypertension centers, who had genetic research experience. Transcripts were thematically coded using inductive analysis. In this study, we focus on the researchers’, clinicians’, and study team's perspectives. From the interview data, several key themes emerged, ranging from study design, recruitment, and consent procedures to the return of individual genetic results. Additionally, participants reflected on both the successes of these studies and the future directions of genetic research. The analysis highlighted the critical importance of fostering collaborative networks firmly rooted in existing clinical and research infrastructure in rare disease study setups. Furthermore, the significance of trust‐building, personalized communication, and transparency among stakeholders was underscored. The study offered valuable insights into the motivating and hindering factors to participant recruitment and consent procedures. Lastly, the findings gathered from processes surrounding the return of individual genetic results, genetic counselling, and the recruitment of relatives provided invaluable lessons regarding the integration of genetics into clinical practice. This in‐depth analysis yields a crucial understanding of attitudes to genetic research among various stakeholders and sheds light on the complexities of genetic research and the evidence‐practice gap.
Model‐free distributed optimal control for general discrete‐time linear systems using reinforcement learning
Authors: Feng Xinjun , Zhao Zhiyun , Yang Wen 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThis article proposes a novel data‐driven framework of distributed optimal consensus for discrete‐time linear multi‐agent systems under general digraphs. A fully distributed control protocol is proposed by using linear quadratic regulator approach, which is proved to be a sufficient and necessary condition for optimal control of multi‐agent systems through dynamic programming and minimum principle. Moreover, the control protocol can be constructed by using local information with the aid of the solution of the algebraic Riccati equation (ARE). Based on the Q‐learning method, a reinforcement learning framework is presented to find the solution of the ARE in a data‐driven way, in which we only need to collect information from an arbitrary follower to learn the feedback gain matrix. Thus, the multi‐agent system can achieve distributed optimal consensus when system dynamics and global information are completely unavailable. For output feedback cases, accurate state information estimation is established such that optimal consensus control is realized. Moreover, the data‐driven optimal consensus method designed in this article is applicable to general digraph that contains a directed spanning tree. Finally, numerical simulations verify the validity of the proposed optimal control protocols and data‐driven framework.

AbstractThis study presents results of extracting hydrolyzed collagen peptide from fresh‐water fish scale and using it to prepare a nanoemulsion based on Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) seed oil and collagen peptide. The sacha inchi seed oil is extracted from the seeds of Sacha Inchi (abbreviated as sachi) plant and contains approximate 45 % triple omega 3–6‐9 (ω‐3, ω‐6, ω‐9) content. Pseudo‐ternary phase diagrams of three components: aqueous collagen solution, sachi seed oil, and surfactant/co‐surfactant (Smix) have been constructed. The parameters including the composition of Smix, sachi seed oil, and aqueous collagen solution have been selected to optimize the technology factors for the emulsion process. A quadratic regression equation was chosen, and experimental planning following the Box‐Behnken model using response surface methodology was used to optimize the preparation conditions for the nanoemulsion. The average droplet size of the emulsion systems is the object function for optimization. The Smix is a mixture of surfactant (Tween80) and propylene glycol (PG) with different ratios of Tween80/PG of 1/1, 2/1, 3/1, and 4/1, corresponding to the formation of four emulsion systems, code 1, 2, 3, 4, respectively. The optimal parameters for each emulsion system are different, however, the aqueous collagen solution contains a higher proportion in emulsions. Under the optimal conditions, the predicted values of the objective function of emulsions code 1–code 4 ranged from 95.62 to 185.14 nm, increasing together with the Tween80 ratio in Smix. The experiment values of the objective function of emulsions code 1–code 4 prepared under the optimal conditions are 104.22, 133.70, 159.27, and 207.87 nm, respectively. These values are close to the predicted values, suggesting that the suitability of the experiment and theory. Additionally, the stability of the nanoemulsion prepared under the optimal conditions is also evaluated. A stable nanoemulsion is potentially for loading nutraceuticals and vitamins for applications in personal health care and medicinal fields.

Published: March 2024

AbstractA facile intramolecular [1,5] hydride transfer reaction in a Dihydroquinazolin‐4(1H)‐one moiety synthesized from anthranilamide, glutaraldehyde, and aromatic amines is described in isopropanol medium in the presence of catalytic HCl. Based on that, we have designed a simple, efficient strategy for conjugating quinazolinone, a pharmaceutically active moiety, with an aromatic amine through an aliphatic spacer. The use of isopropanol as a reaction medium at RT and isolation of the product without rigorous column purification make the process a step ahead towards sustainability. One of the synthesized compounds was evaluated as a small molecule DNA binder. Detailed binding properties were investigated by the multispectroscopy methods.

Published: March 2024

AbstractHerein, an efficient, atom‐economic, environmentally benign catalytic protocol has been developed for synthesising ketones and aldehydes by acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcohols. The protocol employs C, C chelated Ir (III) NHC complexes to promote acceptorless dehydrogenation of both secondary and primary alcohols. Notably, oxidation of primary alcohol selectively yields the corresponding aldehyde where forming ester byproducts is possible. Using C, C chelated Ir (III) NHC complexes (0.1 mol%), and a catalytic amount of base tBuONa (5 mol%), several aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones including more challenging carbonyl compounds bearing heterocyclic rings were obtained in moderate to high yields. Moreover, the protocol is also efficient for synthesising industrially important molecules like heliotropin and 3,4,5‐trimethoxy acetophenone in moderate yields. Remarkably, the catalytic system allows the straightforward synthesis of the potentially bio‐active compound cholest‐4‐en‐3‐one through acceptorless dehydrogenation followed by double bond isomerisation under the reaction conditions. Low catalyst loading, mild reaction conditions, high selectivity, short reaction time, and broad‐substrate scopes are a few interesting characteristics of the catalytic protocol described herein.

AbstractHydrazine (HD) and mono‐methyl hydrazine (MMH), as the compositions of rocket fuels and corrosion inhibitor, have a significant impact on the atmospheric environment. The effects of them on the reaction between NO2 and H2O were investigated theoretically from mechanism and kinetics, and it is expected that they can promote the hydrolysis of NO2 due to their lower free energy barriers. For the subsequent reaction HNO3+HONO+HD/MMH, acid base complex and zwitterionic structure were produced through isomerization. When one or two water molecules were involved in the subsequent reaction, only zwitterionic structure can be found with the lower free energy barrier, and the products were more stable than those without water molecules. To study the atmospheric behavior of HD/MMH, the structures, thermodynamics, interaction forces and temperature dependence of the clusters, which were consisted with HNO3 and HONO with the base molecules including ammonia, amine and amide, were further calculated, and the results show that the hydrogen bond is the main interaction in the clusters. The global minima remained fixed when the temperature increases from 200 K to 325 K. The forming reactions of the clusters were spontaneous, suggesting that ammonia, amine and amide can promote the nucleation of HNO3 and HONO molecules.

AbstractThe outstanding performance of amorphous transition metal phosphides (TMPs) has garnered significant attention in the field of energy storage devices. However, the current approaches for obtaining TMPs require a high phosphidation temperature of over 350 °C, which cause a rise in crystallinity and inferior supercapacitive performance, along with the insufficient utilization of phosphidation agents. In this work, we designed a specially‐made quartz reactor to address this challenge. Using the specially‐designed reactor, the amorphous NiCoP nanosheet array was successfully synthesized on carbon cloth at a relatively low phosphidation temperature of 280 °C. The resulting nanosheet array grown on carbon cloth exhibited a high specific capacity of 338.33 mAh g−1 at a current density of 1 A g−1, along with exceptional cycling stability, retaining 92.3 % of its initial capacity after 1000 cycles. An asymmetric solid‐state hybrid supercapacitor assembled using the prepared amorphous NiCoP@CC‐1 material exhibited a high energy density of 50.98 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 800 W kg−1 while maintaining 92.7 % of initial specific capacity after 5000 cycles. The proposed approach is anticipated to facilitate the use of amorphous TMP materials in the development of high‐performance solid‐state hybrid supercapacitors.

AbstractHierarchical porous carbon (HPC) materials for supercapacitor (SC) application are synthesized via a one‐step carbonization and activation method, using a novel composite activating agent with synergistic activation effect from mesophase pitch (MP) as precursor. The prepared mesophase pitch‐based porous carbon (MPPC) exhibits an ultra‐high specific surface area (SSA) of 2955.0 m2 g−1, well‐controlled pore size distribution (PSD), and exceptional electrochemical performance. The specific capacitance of MPPC‐4 attains up to 338.1 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 and 250.1 F g−1 at 20 A g−1, demonstrating remarkable rate capability. Furthermore, the assembled symmetric SC achieves a high energy density of 29.83 Wh kg−1 at a power density of 999.93 W kg−1 and still maintains 6.56 Wh kg−1 at a high power density of 19.89 kW kg−1. Furthermore, the SC exhibits advantageous cyclic stability, as evidenced by its remarkable capacitance retention rate of 88.55 % even after 5000 cycles. The utilization of this novel composite activating agent in the synthesis of pitch‐derived porous carbon (PC) electrode materials is an exceptionally effective and inventive process.

AbstractSilver (Ag) metal‐based structures are promising building blocks for next‐generation photonics and electronics owing to their unique characteristics, such as high reflectivity, surface plasmonic resonance effects, high electrical conductivity, and tunable electron transport mechanisms. However, Ag structures exhibit poor sustainability in terms of device performance because harsh chemicals, particularly S2− ions present in the air, can damage their structures, lowering their optical and electrical properties. Here, the surface chemistry of Ag structures with (3‐mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTS) ligands at room temperature and under ambient conditions is engineered to prevent deterioration of their optical and electrical properties owing to S2− exposure. Regardless of the dimensions of the Ag structures, the MPTS ligands can be applied to each dimension (0D, 1D, and 3D). Consequently, highly sustainable plasmonic effects (Δλ < 2 nm), Fabry–Perot cavity resonance structures (Δλ < 2 nm), reflectors (ΔRReflectance < 0.5%), flexible electrodes (ΔRelectrical < 0.1 Ω), and strain gauge sensors (ΔGF < 1), even in S2− exposing conditions is achieved. This strategy is believed to significantly contribute to environmental pollution reduction by decreasing the volume of electronic waste.

Published: March 2024

AbstractNanomaterials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides are being explored for developing artificial photosensory synapses with low‐power optical plasticity and high retention time for practical nervous system implementation. However, few studies are conducted on Tellurium (Te)‐based nanomaterials due to their direct and small bandgaps. This paper reports the superior photo‐synaptic properties of covalently bonded Tellurium sulfur oxide (TeSOx) and Tellurium selenium oxide (TeSeOx)nanomaterials, which are fabricated by incorporating S and Se atoms on the surface of Te multiropes using vapor deposition. Unlike pure Te multiropes, the TeSOx and TeSeOx multiropes exhibit controllable temporal dynamics under optical stimulation. For example, the TeSOx multirope‐based transistor displays a photosensory synaptic response to UV light (λ = 365 nm). Furthermore, the TeSeOx multirope‐based transistor exhibits photosensory synaptic responses to UV–vis light (λ = 365, 565, and 660 nm), reliable electrical performance, and a combination of both photodetector and optical artificial synaptic properties with a maximum responsivity of 1500 AW−1 to 365 nm UV light. This result is among the highest reported for Te‐heterostructure‐based devices, enabling optical artificial synaptic applications with low voltage spikes (1 V) and low light intensity (21 µW cm−2), potentially useful for optical neuromorphic computing.

Herein, an unconventional p‐d orbital hybridization strategy is reported to realize the fabrication of defect‐rich CuSb porous nanonetwork (CuSb PNs) electrocatalyst for . The crystalline/amorphous heterophase structure is cleverly introduced into the porous nanonetworks, and this defect‐rich structure exposes more atoms and activated boundaries. CuSb PNs exhibit a large NH3 yield () of 946.1 µg h−1
and a high faradaic efficiency (FE) of 90.7%. Experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the excellent performance of CuSb PNs results from the defect‐rich porous nanonetworks structure and the p‐d hybridization of Cu and Sb elements. This work describes a powerful pathway for the fabrication of p‐d orbital hybrid defect‐rich porous nanonetworks catalysts, and provides hope for solving the problem of nitrogen oxide pollution in the field of environment and energy.
Erarbeitung europäischer Bemessungsvorschriften für wiederverwendete Stahlbauteile

AbstractSolange die Stahlherstellung noch nicht umfassend CO2‐neutral erfolgt, sind alternative Wege des klimaneutralen Bauens mit Stahl zu erforschen und auszubauen. Dazu gehört in Abgrenzung zum Recycling des Werkstoffs und zur Ertüchtigung von alten Stahlbauten die Wiederverwendung von Stahlbauteilen. Während in einigen europäischen Ländern gebrauchte Stahlbauteile bereits gehandelt und regelmäßig verbaut werden, ist das in Deutschland noch nicht so. Ursache hierfür sind fehlende Regeln, nicht nur auf der technisch‐wissenschaftlichen Seite, sondern auch im Bereich der Regulierung. Denn es fehlen Vorgaben für einen Markt mit gehandelten Bauprodukten überhaupt. Dabei bietet sich die Wiederverwendung von Stahlbauteilen besonders an, denn sie sind leicht zu demontieren, zu lagern und flexibel wieder einbaubar. Grundsätzlich steht der technischen Regelung gebrauchter Stahlbauteile in einem neuen Bauwerkskontext nichts entgegen. So wird derzeit für Abbruch und Verarbeitung ein weiterer Anhang zur DIN EN 1990‐2 erarbeitet. Für die Bemessung wiederverwendeter Stahlbauteile, und darauf geht der Aufsatz mit der Durchleuchtung von Randbedingungen, der Konzeption und der Vorgehensweise ein, ist eine Ad‐hoc‐Gruppe in CEN/TC250/SC3 gegründet worden, die Vorschläge für ergänzende Bemessungsregeln erarbeitet. Auch dies wird in diesem Beitrag angesprochen, ebenso wie die Anknüpfung der Regeln an die DIN EN 1990‐2, in die die Spezifikationen der derzeitigen CEN/TS 17440 übernommen werden.

Published: March 2024

AbstractConventional reinforced concrete for building partition walls has proven numerous advantages (in terms for instance of acoustic performance and robustness) with respect to other existing alternatives. However, its use leads to high material consumption and environmental footprint together with time‐consuming processes for placing steel reinforcement. To reduce time‐consuming processes and carbon footprint, the replacement of ordinary steel reinforcement by structural macrofibers is envisioned as a suitable solution due to: (1) the acceptance of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) for structural applications in various guidelines (as Annex L of FprEN 1992‐1‐1:2023, draft for future Eurocode 2) and (2) the fact that the amounts of fibers necessary to reach the required mechanical performance of the FRC for crack control are expected to be economically competitive. Additionally, within the spectra of types of macrofibers capable of efficiently reinforce concrete, macrosynthetic fibers (MSFs) were considered in this research due to their benefits in terms of durability performance and reduced environmental impact (potential to use cements with lower clinker content and reduced thickness of elements). Aiming at confirming both the constructability, casting procedure and structural performance of macrosynthetic fiber reinforced concrete (MSFRC) partition walls, these walls were constructed in a real building in Switzerland. In this article, the design process is presented as well as the associated MSFRC material and structural experimental programmes, conducted both in laboratory and on‐site. In addition, several FEM‐modeling considerations as well as quality control and construction aspects observed during the implementation process are raised. Finally, for reference purposes, a first approach to the economic and environmental impact (CO2eq‐based) of such MSFRC walls is presented.
