Published: September 2005

Abstract
The electrochemical contact with the micro aqueous phase and the micro organic solvent phase in the “middle phase” microemulsion, in which the water phase and the oil phase bicontinuously coexist on a microscopic scale, was alternatively or simultaneously achieved by controlling the hydrophilicity and lipophilicity on electrode surfaces.

Authors: Ohtani Osamu , Goto Yasutomo , Okamoto Kentaro , Inagaki Shinji 
Published: September 2005

Abstract
The mesostructured self-standing films with homogeneously distributed phenylene in the framework were synthesized using evaporation-induced coassembly of surfactant and 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene. The addition of methyltriethoxysilane and dimethyldiethoxysilane to control the siloxane cross-linking network improved the flexibility and strength of films substantially. Thus obtained films also maintain their morphology with mesostructure even after calcination at 300 °C.

Published: September 2005

Abstract
We have found that surface chemical functionalization of a SiO2-supported Cu–BOX [bis(oxazoline)] catalyst with achiral 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane remarkably increases enantioselectivity in asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction of cyclopentadiene and 3-acryloyl-2-oxazolidinone.

Authors: Sakakiyama Tomofumi , Ohkita Hideo , Ohoka Masataka , Ito Shinzaburo , Tsujii Yoshinobu , Fukuda Takeshi 
Published: September 2005

Abstract
High-density graft films bearing ferrocene (Fc) moieties were fabricated on quartz and indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The thickness of the film increased with the increase in the molecular weight of the polymer. We successfully observed quantitative electrochemical redox signals on the ITO substrates coated with a graft polymer. The cyclic voltammograms showed that all ferrocene moieties were electrochemically active.

Published: September 2005

Abstract
Efficient thermo-base generators (TBGs) which can release an secondary alicyclic amine (e.g. 2,6-dimethylpiperidine; DMP) have been developed for low temperature solid-phase imidation of poly(amic acid) (PAA). Such latent thermo-sensitive catalysts promote thermal imidation of PAA film smoothly up to 200 °C, without the salt formation and storage instability of PAA solution.
Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 Bonded to an Amine Functionalized SiO2 as an Excellent Water-tolerant Solid Acid
Authors: Horita Naoto , Yoshimune Miki , Kamiya Yuichi , Okuhara Toshio 
Published: September 2005

Abstract
Unlike Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40, Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40–SiO2 composites combined using (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane are entirely insoluble and well sedimentable in reaction mixtures that contain a large excess of water. The catalytic activities for the hydration of olefin and hydrolysis of ester in the presence of excess water were comparable to those of Cs2.5H0.5PW12O40 and were much higher than those of typical water-tolerant solid acids, such as H-ZSM-5 and Nb2O5.

Authors: Kobayashi Atsushi , Itoh Hiroshi , Shoda Shin-ichiro 
Published: September 2005

Abstract
Irradiation of ultrasound onto a mixture of starch and n-octyl β-d-glucopyranoside enhanced the transglycosylating activity of commercial α-amylase preparation, producing n-octyl β-d-isomaltoside in good yield. The enhancement was attributable to the formation of an inclusion complex with the glycosyl donor and the glycosyl acceptor.

Abstract
The genetic probe labeled with positron emitter for monitoring tumor cells transfacted by herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene has been intensively studied. A useful synthetic methodology was developed to synthesize (E)-5-[2-(tributylstannyl)vinyl]arabinosyl uridine (TSVAU) and to radiolabel (E)-5-{2-[125I]iodovinyl}arabinosyl uridine (IVAU) substrate for herpes simplex virus type-1 thymidine kinase gene. The synthesis started from arabinosyl uridine via six steps to provide TSVAU in 18% yield. The subsequent radiolabeling with Na[125I]I under oxidation provided [125I]IVAU in 80% radiochemical yield.

AbstractObjectivesAn increasing body of evidence indicates altered DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease, yet the reproducibility and utility of such methylation changes are largely unexplored. We aimed to further elucidate the role of dysregulated DNA methylation in Parkinson's disease and to evaluate the biomarker potential of methylation‐based profiling.MethodsWe conducted an epigenome‐wide association study (EWAS) in whole blood, including 280 Parkinson's disease and 279 control participants from Oslo, Norway. Next, we took advantage of data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) and a previously published EWAS to conduct a whole blood EWAS meta‐analysis in Parkinson's disease, incorporating results from a total of 3068 participants. Finally, we generated multiple methylation‐based scores for each Oslo and PPMI participant and tested their association with disease status, individually and in a joint multiscore model.ResultsIn EWAS meta‐analysis, we confirm SLC7A11 hypermethylation and nominate a novel differentially methylated CpG near LPIN1. A joint multiscore model incorporating polygenic risk and methylation‐based estimates of epigenetic Parkinson's disease risk, smoking, and leukocyte proportions differentiated patients from control participants with an area under the receiver‐operator curve of 0.82 in the Oslo cohort and 0.65 in PPMI.InterpretationOur results highlight the power of DNA methylation profiling to capture multiple aspects of disease risk, indicating a biomarker potential for precision medicine in neurodegenerative disorders. The reproducibility of specific differentially methylated CpGs across data sets was limited but may improve if future studies are designed to account for disease stage and incorporate environmental exposure data.

ObjectiveInterpersonal relationships are crucial to healthy aging. Social isolation is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes in older adults, including depression. Those with chronic conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), may be particularly vulnerable to social isolation. In this qualitative study, we elicited lived experiences of older adults with SLE related to social connections and emotional health.MethodsAdults ≥65 years of age with SLE participated in semistructured interviews based on a descriptive phenomenological design to describe the experience of aging with SLE. We collected self‐reported data on sociodemographic and disease characteristics, social networks, and health‐related quality of life. We probed participants regarding their interpersonal relationships and the effect of SLE on general health in the context of aging. We analyzed qualitative data thematically.ResultsAmong 30 participants with a mean age of 71.3 years, three themes emerged as essential to characterizing aging with SLE: (1) social isolation, (2) perceived burden to loved ones, and (3) adverse mental health effects of SLE. Participants frequently reported social isolation, often related to SLE disease manifestations rather than unavailability of social networks and situated within the context of burdening loved ones and mental health effects of SLE.ConclusionSocial isolation was commonly reported by older adults with SLE. Larger observational studies are needed to improve characterization of social isolation in this population and understand its association with depression and other adverse health outcomes. Investigational studies integrating strategies to improve social isolation in older adults with SLE may improve their health and well‐being.

AbstractNon‐sporulating plant growth‐promoting bacteria (PGPB) are widely underutilized in the bio‐based agroindustry due to difficulties in maintaining viability without spores. A unique approach is presented to prepare PGPB‐based green formulations by integrating Gram‐negative, nonsporulating PGPBs: Pseudomonas simiae (Psi) and Azospirillum brasilense (Abr) into cellulose acetate stabilized Pickering emulsions. The bacteria show enhanced survivability within the emulsions without any nutrient supply after 4 weeks of storage with Psi and Abr showing 200% and 500% increases respectively relative to non‐nutritive saline (1X PBS) control. Transcriptomics suggest that lysed bacteria from the emulsification process act as crucial nutrient sources, thereby boosting bacterial survival rates. Moreover, these PGPBs maintain survival even in the presence of the model pesticide fluopyram, with Pseudomonas simiae concentration showing a twofold increase after 1 month of storage while still preserving the efficacy of fluopyram against target pests. This robust survival trait among nonsporulating PGPB marks a notable advancement in developing formulations tailored specifically for these organisms. It underscores their untapped potential for practical applications in agricultural and environmental contexts. Furthermore, the emulsions enable simultaneous loading of biologicals (PGPBs) and agrochemical pesticides without compromising performance, thus offering the promise of a single loading platform to deliver multiple actives.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe structural and compositional diversification of Metal‐Organic Frameworks (MOFs) continues to grow, along with the opportunities they offer in H₂ photoevolution or CO₂ photoreduction. This often requires the use of metal co‐catalysts for improving the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction. However, most studies often overlook how the integration of these two components can be used to tailor the photocatalytic performance of a given framework. Taking advantage of a new synthetic methodology that allows the growth of titanium‐based MUV‐10 crystals through continuous injection of its components, here it is demonstrated how the time‐resolved injection of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) at different stages of crystal growth results in tunable MOF/Pt heterojunctions with varying photocatalytic efficiencies, which can be used to boost performance by up to 2.5 times depending on the injection time.

AbstractAll‐solid‐state lithium‐sulfur battery (ASSLSB) is considered one of the ultimate next‐generation energy storage technologies due to the expected low cost, high safety, and high specific energy. The high‐conductivity and low‐modulus sulfide electrolytes hold promise as electrolytes in the cathode (i.e., solid catholytes) for ASSLSBs, but their parasitic decomposition and reactions over cycling lead to degradation of the active material−catholyte interphases and hence limited cycling life. Herein a strategy is described to stabilize the ASSLSBs by regulating the interphase redox reversibility of the sulfide catholyte, which is validated on a new sulfide electrolyte formulated as Li6+xP1−xWxS5I (LPWSI). The experiments show that the presence of mixed ionic‐electronic conducting WS2 boosts the Li4P2S7−to−Li3PS4 reaction in the interphase, which prevents irreversible accumulation of impeding P2S74− and thereby improves the catholyte's interphase stability. With the LPWSI catholyte, the ambient‐temperature ASSLSB exhibits stable cycling sustaining 92.2% capacity over 400 cycles at C/5 with an initial areal capacity of 1.95 mA h cm−2. Furthermore, the cells demonstrate excellent high‐rate stability over 1000 cycles at rates of 1C and 2C. The reported strategy contributes to reshaping the understanding of how solid catholyte can function in composite cathodes and provides new guidelines for designing catholyte for high‐capacity conversion‐based electrodes that involve complex evolution of interphases.

AbstractRecently, metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been proven successful to grow topological insulators such as antimony telluride (Sb2Te3), with their use as efficient spin‐charge converters at room temperature also being reported. On the other hand, a wafer‐scale synthesis of Sb2Te3 thin films showing clear‐cut electrical conduction driven by topologically protected surface states is still missing. Within this work, the growth of Sb2Te3 thin films with variable thicknesses over 4‐inch (4″) wafer‐scale Si(111) substrates as conducted via MOCVD is reported. By performing magnetoconductance measurements, weak antilocalization phenomena are detected over the whole 4″ area, thus proving the possibility to produce wafer‐scale Sb2Te3 topological insulator thin films. Furthermore, comprehensive information on the variability of the functional properties of Sb2Te3 thin films with their morphological, chemical, and structural properties, as probed by scanning electron microscopy, X‐ray diffraction/reflectivity, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, time‐of‐flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analyses is reported. This work provides a breakthrough for the technology scale‐up of these novel materials to be employed in future spintronic devices as well as applications in nanoelectronics, thermoelectrics, and quantum computing.

Abstract3D printing is a leading technique for fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds that facilitate native cellular behavior. Engineering scaffolds to possess functional properties like electronic conductivity is the first step toward integrating new technological capabilities like stimulating or monitoring cellular activity beyond the traditionally presented biophysical and biochemical cues. However, these bioelectronic scaffolds have been largely underdeveloped since the majority of electrically conducting materials possess high stiffness values outside the physiological range and that may negatively impact desired cell behavior. Here, methods of 3D printing poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) hydrogel scaffolds and techniques to achieve stiffness relevant to many soft tissues (<100 kPa) are reported. Structures are confirmed as ideal tissue scaffolds by maintaining biostability, promoting high cell viability, as well as appropriate cell morphology and proliferation. These findings present a customizable 3D platform that provides favorable soft cellular microenvironments and this is envisioned to be adaptable to several bioelectronic applications.
