AbstractCuproptosis is a novel form of regulated cell death which guarantees to increase the efficacy of existing anticancer treatments that employ traditional apoptotic therapeutics. However, reducing the amount of undesirable Cu ions released in normal tissue and maximizing Cu‐induced cuproptosis therapeutic effects at tumor sites are the major challenges. In this study, exploiting the chemical properties of copper ionophores and the tumor microenvironment, a novel method is developed for controlling the valence of copper ions that cause photoinduced cuproptosis in tumor cells. CJS‐Cu nanoparticles (NPs) can selectively induce cuproptosis after cascade reactions through H2O2‐triggered Cu2+ release, photoirradiation‐induced superoxide radical (∙O2−) generation, and reduction of Cu2+ to Cu+ by ∙O2−. The generated reactive oxygen species can result in glutathione depletion and iron–sulfur cluster protein damage and further augmented cuproptosis. CJS‐Cu NPs effectively suppressed tumor growth and downregulated the expression of metastasis‐related proteins, contributing to the complete inhibition of lung metastasis. Ultimately, this study suggests novel avenues for the manipulation of cellular cuproptosis through photochemical reactions.

AbstractSmall‐scale and flexible acoustic probes are more desirable for exquisite objects like human bodies and complex‐shaped components than conventional rigid ones. Herein, a thin‐film flexible acoustic sensor (FA‐TES) that can detect ultra‐broadband acoustic signals in multiple applications is proposed. The device consists of two thin copper‐coated polyvinyl chloride films, which are stimulated by acoustic waves and contact each other to generate the triboelectric signal. Interlocking nanocolumn arrays fabricated on the friction surfaces are regarded as a highly adaptive spacer enabling this device to respond to ultra‐broadband acoustic signals (100 Hz–4 MHz) and enhance sensor sensitivity for film weak vibration. Benefiting from the characteristics of high shape adaptability and ultrawide response range, the FA‐TES can precisely sense human physiological sounds and voice (≤10 kHz) for laryngeal health monitoring and interaction in real‐time. Moreover, the FA‐TES flexibly arranged on a 3D‐printed vertebra model can effectively and accurately diagnose the inner defect by ultrasonic testing (≥1 MHz). It envisions that this work can provide new ideas for flexible acoustic sensor designs and optimize real‐time acoustic detections of human bodies and complex components.
Ultra‐Dispersed α‐MoC1−x Embedded in a Plum‐Like N‐Doped Carbon Framework as a Synergistic Adsorption–Electrocatalysis Interlayer for High‐Performance Li–S Batteries

AbstractThe shuttle effect and sluggish redox kinetics of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) severely hinder the scalable application of lithium‐sulfurr (Li–S) batteries. Herein, the highly dispersed α‐phase molybdenum carbide nano‐crystallites embedded in a porous nitrogen‐doped carbon framework (α‐MoC1−x@NCF) are developed via a simple metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) assisted strategy and proposed as the multifunctional separator interlayer for Li–S batteries. The inlaid MoC1−x nanocrystals and in situ doped nitrogen atoms provide a strong chemisorption and outstanding electrocatalytic conversion toward LiPSs, whereas the unique plum‐like carbon framework with hierarchical porosity enables fast electron/Li+ transfer and can physically suppress LiPSs shuttling. Benefiting from the synergistic trapping‐catalyzing effect of the MoC1−x@NCF interlayer toward LiPSs, the assembled Li–S battery achieves high discharge capacities (1588.1 mAh g−1 at 0.1 C), impressive rate capability (655.8 mAh g−1 at 4.0 C) and ultra‐stable lifespan (a low capacity decay of 0.059% per cycle over 650 cycles at 1.0 C). Even at an elevated sulfur loading (6.0 mg cm−2) and lean electrolyte (E/S is ≈5.8 µL mg−1), the battery can still achieve a superb areal capacity of 5.2 mAh cm−2. This work affords an effective design strategy for the construction of muti‐functional interlayer in advanced Li–S batteries.
Microstructural Insights into Performance Loss of High‐Voltage Spinel Cathodes for Lithium‐ion Batteries

Published: October 2023

AbstractSpinel‐structured LiNixMn2−xO4(LNMO), with low‐cost earth‐abundant constituents, is a promising high‐voltage cathode material for lithium‐ion batteries. Even though extensive electrochemical investigations have been conducted on these materials, few studies have explored correlations between their loss in performance and associated changes in microstructure. Here, down to the atomic scale, the structural evolution of these materials is investigated upon the progressive cycling of lithium‐ion cells. Transgranular cracking is revealed to be a key feature during cycling; this cracking is initiated at the particle surface and leads to the penetration of electrolytes along the crack path, thereby increasing particle exposure to the electrolyte. The lattice structure on the crack surface shows spatial variances, featuring a top layer of rock‐salt, a sublayer of a Mn3O4‐like arrangement, and then a mixed‐cation region adjacent to the bulk lattice. The transgranular cracking, along with the emergence of local lattice distortion, becomes more evident with extended cycling. Further, phase transformation at primary particle surfaces and void formation through vacancy condensation is found in the cycled samples. All these features collectively contribute to the performance degradation of the battery cells during electrochemical cycling.
The use of efficient Smart Agro 4.0 irrigation systems for cotton in Peru and its public policy implications

Published: October 2023

AbstractIn recent years, agriculture has been affected by the impact of climate change. Technological innovations are required to meet the different challenges regarding production, costs, and efficient management of natural resources. In Peru, there are 2.3 million agricultural producers, with around 10,000 family farmers currently dedicated to cotton cultivation, concentrated mainly in the coastal valleys of the Ica, Lima, Lambayeque, Ancash, and Piura. To address the climate change impact and improve cotton production and the use of resources, an efficient irrigation system pilot using the Internet of Things (IoT), tensiometers, and weather stations was implemented between Telefónica and FAO within the framework of the +Cotton Project. This study aims to analyze and compare the results of using this technology between 2018 and 2019 during three agricultural campaigns by measuring water use and yield compared with producers without this technology in three areas of Peru. As a result, cotton yields increased by 53% and beans between 18% and 29% compared with neighboring farms, and optimized water use, generating savings of up to 20% in irrigation water and profitability of 50%. It also enabled control of plant growth and thus planned farm harvest time. This technology proved helpful for farmers and innovative compared with the flooding irrigation techniques used in the Peruvian cotton sector. It can be helpful in the development of public policies for water management and cotton production. However, its high value makes it necessary for national institutions to incorporate financing, plans, and adoption strategies, for its sustainability over time. In this regard, the exchange of knowledge and the work of international cooperation can support the establishment of appropriate measures for implementing this technology.
Inviting Engagement with Atmospheres
Authors: Hurst Chris E. , Stinson Michela J. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn ‘Inviting Engagement with Atmospheres,’ Chris E. Hurst and Michela J. Stinson experiment by researching-with atmospheres in the Anthropocene. They locate their work within embodied ethical practices of proximity—of relational closeness and care, of messy middle-ness, and of being with place. Researching together and apart, they attend to the material and affective atmospheres of two Northern-adjacent tourism places in Ontario, Canada. Oriented toward cultivating multiple ways of knowing and being in the world, they research-with atmospheres as a methodological approach attending to the non-representational embodied, affective, and material experience of being-with places. They experiment with two atmospheric, conceptual propositions: fidelity and reverberations. As separate propositions brought into contact through their productive and disruptive possibilities, fidelity and reverberations remind us to linger with place, to feel, and to listen.
Linear Time-Varying Systems
Authors: Beffa Federico 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this chapter we consider linear time-varying (LTV) systems. These are systems whose behaviour depends on the particular moment in time at which they are used. The change with time may arise for example due to the sensitivity of system components to environmental changes. Examples of systems suffering from this type of sensitivity include wireless communication systems in which the communication channel between the transmitter- and the receiver-antennas is highly dependent on the environment in between and around the antennas.
Convolution Equations
Authors: Beffa Federico 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe objective of this chapter is to show that the solution of ordinary differential equations, if based on distributions as opposed to functions, can be obtained by (mostly) algebraic methods. These methods are rigorous forms of the so-called Heaviside’s operational or symbolic calculus. The close relationship to the integral transforms that convert convolution into the ordinary multiplication is also shown. With this chapter we stop using uppercase letters such as T to denote distributions. Instead, we start using lowercase letters such as the ones typically used to denote functions, for example f. We also adopt the convention of denoting the Laplace transform of a distribution, say f, with the same letter, but changed to uppercase, e.g. , $$F = {\mathcal {L}}\{f\}$$. When we need to distinguish between the ordinary and the distributional differential operator, we will in general denote the former by $$\frac{\textrm{d}^{}}{\textrm{d}t^{}}$$ and continue to denote the latter by $$D$$.
Epistemological Stagflation and the Crisis of Democracy in Contemporary Music Research
Authors: Valiquet Patrick 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis chapter uses the discourse of musicological lateness as an index of the changing capacity of contemporary music production in European universities to function as a source of institutional critique, and then stakes out a dissenting perspective on the political economy of music research today to show how historiographical and epistemological feelings have changed since musicology began to lag. Critique is framed in a ‘non-modern’ perspective emphasising the actions of institutions and governments as machines drifting closer or farther from states of equilibrium, rather than a modernist perspective privileging dialectical, subject-centred struggle against a ‘static’ past. The point is not to dismiss the ways that contemporary music theory has changed, but to show that musicological difference today is still actively produced around an entrenched set of institutional fractures, and to identify new critical questions about the political economy of music research today.
Black Music’s Institutional Critique
Authors: Piekut Benjamin 
Published: October 2023

AbstractTo consider institutional critique within the music field requires some alteration of its fundamental terms, because music had developed a second aesthetic system surrounding Black art and had institutionalised it much earlier than modern or contemporary art had. This de-universalisation of the European fine arts has consequences for the theory of critique. Black music’s governing institutions in the 1960s were the recording label, the night club, the summer festival, and the mass periodical, and artists such as Charles Mingus, Bill Dixon, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Ornette Coleman, Don Cherry, and Alice Coltrane worked to confront, evade, and change them. Black musicians were more likely to build institutions than to destroy them, a mission shared by adventurous groups like the AACM and conservative ones like Jazz at Lincoln Center. The critique of traditionally racist cultural formations by historically oppressed people was often delivered through hard-won participation, not abandonment.
My Via Dolorosa from (Impotent) Institutional Critique to the Founding of My Own Institution, the Norwegian Opra, with the Gradual Construction of the Followers of Ø Opra-Dorf on a Meadow in the Swedish Forest, Thereby (Maybe) Saving the Autonomy of Art
Authors: Reinholdtsen Trond 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe chapter details how Reinholdtsen’s own fanatical pursuit of ultimate artistic autonomy and control of the means of production have led him to founding his own artist institution, The Norwegian Opra. Weaving together Broodthaers’ affirmative critique of the museum with the aspirations of Wagner’s Ring des Nibelungen, he makes the case for the musical pursuit of a freely interdisciplinary compositional engagement with musical ‘material’, casting off historical cruft where it does not suit. Reinholdtsen points to our global institutional instability to underscore the need for musical artists to reaffirm their importance in society in a positive light, while never compromising their artistic expression.
Large-Scale Entity Alignment
Authors: Zhao Xiang , Zeng Weixin , Tang Jiuyang 
Published: October 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, we focus on the concept of entity alignment at scale and present a new method for addressing this task. The proposed solution is capable of handling vast amounts of knowledge graph pairs and delivering high-quality alignment outcomes. First, to manage large-scale KG pairs, we develop a set of seed-oriented graph partition strategies that divide them into smaller subgraph pairs. Next, within each subgraph pair, we employ existing methods to learn unified entity representations and introduce a novel reciprocal alignment inference strategy to model bidirectional alignment interactions, which can lead to more accurate outcomes. To further enhance the scalability of reciprocal alignment inference, we propose two variant strategies that can significantly reduce memory and time costs, albeit at the expense of slightly reduced effectiveness. Our solution is versatile and can be applied to existing representation learning-based EA models to enhance their ability to handle large-scale KG pairs. We also create a new EA dataset that comprises millions of entities and conduct comprehensive experiments to verify the efficiency of our proposed model. Furthermore, we compare our proposed model against state-of-the-art baselines on popular EA datasets, and our extensive experiments demonstrate its effectiveness and superiority.
Analysis of Molecular Surface/Interfacial Layer by Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG) Spectroscopy
Authors: Miyamae Takayuki , Akaike Kouki 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis chapter reviews recent progress in polymer surfaces and interface studies using sum-frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. SFG is a surface-specific vibrational spectroscopic technique that has spread on a worldwide scale since it was first reported in 1987. The SFG principles, instruments, techniques, and experiments are presented in detail, and recent results on interfacial physics and chemistry at jointed interfaces are described. It focuses on SFG studies of the surfaces and buried interfaces of polymeric materials, such as modification of polymer surfaces, polymer-water, polymer-metal, and polymer–polymer interfaces. This review demonstrates that SFG is a powerful technique for nondestructive, in situ measurement of molecular level understanding at complex polymer surfaces and interfaces.
Causality bounds on scalar-tensor EFTs
Authors: Hong Dong-Yu , Wang Zhuo-Hui , Zhou Shuang-Yong 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We compute the causality/positivity bounds on the Wilson coefficients of scalar-tensor effective field theories. Two-sided bounds are obtained by extracting IR information from UV physics via dispersion relations of scattering amplitudes, making use of the full crossing symmetry. The graviton t-channel pole is carefully treated in the numerical optimization, taking into account the constraints with fixed impact parameters. It is shown that the typical sizes of the Wilson coefficients can be estimated by simply inspecting the dispersion relations. We carve out sharp bounds on the leading coefficients, particularly, the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet couplings, and discuss how some bounds vary with the leading (∂ϕ)4 coefficient and as well as phenomenological implications of the causality bounds.
Thermal one-point functions: CFT’s with fermions, large d and large spin
Authors: David Justin R. , Kumar Srijan 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
We apply the OPE inversion formula on thermal two-point functions of fermions to obtain thermal one-point function of fermion bi-linears appearing in the corresponding OPE. We primarily focus on the OPE channel which contains the stress tensor of the theory. We apply our formalism to the mean field theory of fermions and verify that the inversion formula reproduces the spectrum as well as their corresponding thermal one-point functions. We then examine the large N critical Gross-Neveu model in d = 2k + 1 dimensions with k even and at finite temperature. We show that stress tensor evaluated from the inversion formula agrees with that evaluated from the partition function at the critical point. We demonstrate the expectation values of 3 different classes of higher spin currents are all related to each other by numerical constants, spin and the thermal mass. We evaluate the ratio of the thermal expectation values of higher spin currents at the critical point to the Gaussian fixed point or the Stefan-Boltzmann result, both for the large N critical O(N) model and the Gross-Neveu model in odd dimensions. This ratio is always less than one and it approaches unity on increasing the spin with the dimension d held fixed. The ratio however approaches zero when the dimension d is increased with the spin held fixed.
Low projectile density contributions in the dilute-dense CGC framework for two-particle correlations
Authors: Kohara Anderson Kendi , Marquet Cyrille , Vila Víctor 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
At leading-order, the standard dilute-dense Color Glass Condensate formula used for two-particle correlations in proton-nucleus collisions, whose symmetries prevent the generation of odd azimuthal anisotropy harmonics, is the dilute projectile limit of the dense-dense formalism. However, when the projectile is genuinely dilute, the complete formulation contains additional contributions at the same leading order in the strong coupling constant. In this work we investigate those low projectile density contributions that are relevant when the particles are produced at forward rapidities. We find that they are responsible for non-zero odd harmonics which are negative, in qualitative agreement with recent experimental measurements at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider.
Friend or foe? Exploring the implications of large language models on the science system
Authors: Fecher Benedikt , Hebing Marcel , Laufer Melissa , Pohle Jörg , Sofsky Fabian 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe advent of ChatGPT by OpenAI has prompted extensive discourse on its potential implications for science and higher education. While the impact on education has been a primary focus, there is limited empirical research on the effects of large language models (LLMs) and LLM-based chatbots on science and scientific practice. To investigate this further, we conducted a Delphi study involving 72 researchers specializing in AI and digitization. The study focused on applications and limitations of LLMs, their effects on the science system, ethical and legal considerations, and the required competencies for their effective use. Our findings highlight the transformative potential of LLMs in science, particularly in administrative, creative, and analytical tasks. However, risks related to bias, misinformation, and quality assurance need to be addressed through proactive regulation and science education. This research contributes to informed discussions on the impact of generative AI in science and helps identify areas for future action.
Diet of loggerhead turtles in the Gulf of Manfredonia, South Adriatic Sea: evidence of winter feeding and anthropogenic impacts
Authors: Baldi Giulia , Miglianti Mara , Salvemini Pasquale , Casale Paolo 
Published: October 2023

AbstractInvestigating biological aspects of migratory marine animals like sea turtles is challenging. The Adriatic Sea is a key Mediterranean foraging ground for loggerhead turtles, yet certain feeding behaviors remain poorly known, including winter feeding and foraging within the neritic area of the Gulf of Manfredonia. With high fishing effort, this area experiences considerable turtle bycatch from trawlers during winter, representing an important conservation issue. Insights on how and to what extent the species interacts with anthropogenic threats such as trawlers and debris can be obtained from diet analysis. We examined feces and gut contents from 57 bycaught or stranded turtles to assess active feeding and digestion time during winter, identify and quantify prey items, evaluate feeding patterns among size classes, and ascertain the anthropogenic impact via debris and fishing discard ingestion. Our findings show that turtles feed actively during winter, primarily on benthic items, starting from a small size (32 cm Curved Carapace Length). No size effect was observed on dietary diversity or biomass percentage. We identified 37 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) across 10 dietary groups, with crustaceans and mollusks being most prevalent. Osteichthyes and cephalopods, likely scavenged from trawl discard, were also common, implying intensive local trawling may attract turtles, increasing bycatch and mortality rates. The frequency of anthropogenic material ingestion was comparable to other Mediterranean regions and its presence in feces suggests non-lethal effects, if any. This study shows how information on seasonal feeding behavior can provide insights into how the relationship of the species with the environment and threats changes over time, ultimately steering conservation efforts.
