AbstractHeat dissipation performance is crucial for the operational reliability of industrial equipment, which can be monitored by detecting the wind or airflow temperature of the radiator. The emergence of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) provides new routes for wind energy harvesting and self‐powered sensing. Herein, a rotary wind‐driven triboelectric nanogenerator (RW‐TENG) with soft‐contact working mode is newly designed to achieve tunable contact areas by utilizing the reliable thermal response of NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) to air/wind temperature. The RW‐TENG can generate different triboelectric outputs under air stimulation with different speeds or temperatures, which is demonstrated as a power source for online monitoring sensors, self‐powered wind speed sensing, and airflow temperature monitoring. Specifically, a self‐powered sensor of wind speed is demonstrated with a sensitivity of 0.526 µA m−1 s between 2.2 and 19.6 m s−1, and a self‐powered monitoring device of high airflow temperature, which show relatively short response time (109 s), strong anti‐interference ability and outstanding long‐term durability. This study introduces an innovative route for real‐time detection of airflow temperature in wind‐cooled industrial equipment, showing broad application prospects for information perception and intelligent sensing of the industrial IoTs.

AbstractLow‐carbon alkaline thermal hydrolysis of sewage sludge for the production of high‐quality plant‐growth‐promoting nutrients and biostimulants is a growing concern for sludge resource utilization in agriculture. Thus, this study aims to investigate functional characteristics and soil biochemical effects of sewage sludge‐derived nutrients and biostimulants (SS‐NB). The content of heavy metals in SS‐NB decreased by 47.39–100%, and an increase in soil protease, invertase, and soil nutrient utilization rates are observed in SS‐NB groups. SS‐NB substituted for chemical fertilizer increased the diversity and evenness of microbial community and reduced the abundance of the soil‐borne bacterial genus Arthrobacter. The dominant community of SS‐NB100 group is mainly enriched in Microvirga, Ensifer, Novosphingobium, Bosea and Ellin6055, which are principally beneficial symbiotic bacteria of plants and participated in C and N cycles. Moreover, SS‐NB reduced the accumulation of Ktedonobacteria and Nitrosospira, which are involved in the production of CO2 and N2O, and also enhanced the coordination of soil microorganisms with enzyme activities and nutrient utilization rate. In conclusion, the results suggest that SS‐NB exerts a positive effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing soil‐borne diseases, and can further enhance collaboration with soil enzyme activity and soil nutrient utilization by stimulating soil microorganisms.

AbstractFluoro‐ and chlorofluorocabons (FC/CFCs) are important refrigerants, solvents, and fluoropolymers in industry while being toxic and carrying high global warming potential. Detection and reclamation of FC/CFCs based on adsorption technology with highly selective adsorbents is important to labor safety and environmental protection. Herein, the study reports an integrated method to combine capture, separation, enrichment, and analysis of representative FC/CFCs (chlorodifluoromethane(R22) and 1,1,1,2‐tetrafluoroethane (R134a)) by using the highly stable and porous Zr‐MOF, DUT‐67. Gas adsorption and breakthrough experiments demonstrate that DUT‐67 has high R22/R134a uptake (124/116 cm3 g−1) and excellent R22/R134a/CO2 separation performance (IAST selectivities of R22/CO2 and R134a/CO2 ranging from 51.4 to 33.3, and 31.1 to 25.8), even in rather low concentration and humid conditions. A semi‐quantitative analysis protocol is set up to analyze the low concentrations of R22/R134a based on the high selective R22/R134a adsorption ability, fast adsorption kinetics, water‐resistant utility, facile regeneration, and excellent recyclability of DUT‐67. In situ single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, theoretical calculations, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra have been employed to understand the adsorption mechanism. This work may provide a potential adsorbent for purge and trap technique under room temperature, thus promoting the application of MOFs for VOCs sampling and quantitative analysis.

AbstractBackgroundWe aimed to identify the characteristics of new‐onset diabetes after liver transplantation (LT) (NODAT) and investigate its impacts on post‐transplant outcomes.MethodsAdult LT patients between 2014 and 2020 who used tacrolimus as initial immunosuppression and survived 3 months at least were evaluated. Patients who developed NODAT within 3 months after LT were classified as NODAT group. Also, patients were further classified as history of diabetes before LT (PHDBT) and non‐diabetes (ND) groups. Patient characteristics, post‐LT outcomes, and cardiovascular and/or pulmonary complications were compared.ResultsA total of 83, 225, and 263 patients were classified into NODAT, PHDBT, and ND groups. The proportion of cholestatic liver disease and rejection within 90 days were higher in NODAT group. Mean serum tacrolimus concentration trough level in the first week after LT was 7.12, 6.12, and 6.12 ng/mL (p < 0.001). Duration of corticosteroids was significantly longer in NODAT compared to PHDBD or ND (416, 289, and 228 days, p < 0.001). Three‐year graft and patient survival were significantly worse in NODAT than ND (80.5% vs. 95.0%, p < 0.001: 82.0% vs. 95.4%, p < 0.001) but similar to PHDBT. Adjusted risks of 3‐year graft loss and patient death using Cox regression analysis were significantly higher in NODAT compared to ND (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 3.41, p = 0.004; aHR 3.61, p = 0.004). Incidence rates of cardiovascular or pulmonary complications after LT in NODAT were significantly higher than ND but similar to PHDBT.ConclusionHigher initial tacrolimus concentration and early rejection might be risk factors for NODAT. NODAT was associated with worse post‐transplant outcomes.

Published: January 2024

AbstractA degradable acetal‐backboned polymer was developed via palladium‐catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of dialkoxyallenes with diols. Dialkoxyallenes were easily prepared from the corresponding diols through propargylation, followed by isomerization. Polymers were synthesized from the various combinations of diols and dialkoxyallens in the presence of a palladium catalyst to produce the acrolein acetal linkages. While the acetal backbones were completely degraded into the corresponding diols, the recycling of the polymer with 1,4‐benzenedimethanol was also demonstrated. The vinyl moiety in the newly generated acrolein acetals allowed for the thiol‐ene reaction, thereby providing a promising approach for the further applications of the polymer.

AbstractINTRODUCTIONAbnormal amyloid‐beta (Aβ) and tau deposition define Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but non‐elevated tau is relatively frequent in patients on the AD pathway.METHODSWe examined characteristics and regional patterns of 397 Aβ+ unimpaired and impaired individuals with low tau (A+T−) in relation to their higher tau counterparts (A+T+).RESULTSSeventy‐one percent of Aβ+ unimpaired and 42% of impaired Aβ+ individuals were categorized as A+T− based on global tau. In impaired individuals only, A+T− status was associated with older age, male sex, and greater cardiovascular risk. α‐synuclein was linked to poorer cognition, particularly when tau was low. Tau burden was most frequently elevated in a common set of temporal regions regardless of T+/T− status.DISCUSSIONLow tau is relatively common in patients on the AD pathway and is linked to comorbidities that contribute to impairment. These findings have implications for the selection of individuals for Aβ‐ and tau‐modifying therapies.

AbstractHeterotrimeric G proteins are key mediators in the signaling of G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCR) that are involved in a plethora of important physiological processes and thus major targets of pharmaceutical drugs. The cyclic depsipeptides YM‐254890 and FR900359 are strong and selective inhibitors of the Gq subfamily of G proteins. FR900359 was first reported to be produced by unculturable plant symbiont, however, a culturable FR900359 producer was discovered recently by the standard strategy, screening of the producing strain from the environment. As another strategy, we introduce herein the different way to supply natural compounds of unculturable microorganism origin. We therefore embarked on constructing an artificial biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) for FR900359 with YM‐254890 BGC as a template using “in vitro module editing” technology, first developed for the modification of type‐I PKS BGCs, to edit YM‐254890 BGC. The resulting artificial BGCs coding FR900359 were heterologously expressed in the Pseudomonas putida KT2440 host strain.
Effect of pH on the properties of protonated polyaniline‐based films for pH sensing applications

Published: January 2024

AbstractThe chemical and physical properties of protonated polyaniline (PANI)‐based films, including PANI‐emeraldine salt (ES) and PANI/polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) films, before and after pH treatments are characterized and compared. Protonated PANI‐based films are prepared by spin coating. The effects of pH value and immersion time on the film properties are investigated to gain a better understanding of their performance in pH sensing. The films are characterized based on color, morphology, chemical structure, phase state, and protonation state. Protonated PANI‐based films exhibit a color change from green to dark blue as deprotonation occurs in solutions with higher pH. The highly porous structure of PANI/PVAc films is slightly affected by the pH of the solution. However, the globular structure of the PANI‐ES films forms cracks with increasing immersion time. PANI/PVAc films exhibit better stability in acidic and neutral solutions than in alkaline solutions because of the hydrolysis of PVAc. Compared with the negligible differences in the PANI/PVAc film in buffers with different pH, PANI‐ES exhibits noticeable changes. Therefore, PVAc improves the stability and performance of PANI for pH‐sensing applications.

Abstract

Understanding habitat requirements for species at risk is crucial for effective conservation management, even though the location and extent of vital habitats may be unknown for rare or elusive species.
In the case of marine species, determining important habitat often relies on limited occurrence data or extrapolation from species distribution models (SDMs). SDMs predict habitat by associating species records with environmental variables, assuming a functional ecological relationship.
This study focuses on northern bottlenose whales (NBW; Hyperoodon ampullatus) and Sowerby's beaked whales (SBW; Mesoplodon bidens) in the western North Atlantic. As both NBW and SBW are at risk in Canada, the objective was to identify the extent and function of important habitats to guide conservation efforts.
The analysis mapped all available geographic occurrence data and used passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) data to inform the development of ensemble SDMs to predict potential habitat and assess the persistence of realized habitat use.
Important habitats for NBW and SBW were found primarily concentrated along the continental shelf edges, at an average depth of 1200 m ± 460 SD. All habitat areas support foraging and movement and critical life history functions for both species.
The Gully and other submarine canyons off eastern Nova Scotia emerged as important areas for both species, validating the existing Critical Habitat for NBW. However, spatial–temporal patterns diverged on either side of this region. North‐eastern Newfoundland was identified as the next closest area of near‐year‐round presence for NBW, whereas the south‐western Scotian Shelf region, Georges Bank and the Fundian Channel supported persistent foraging by SBW.
By integrating multiple data sources (sightings, acoustic detections and SDMs) and demonstrating the temporal persistence of habitat use by NBW and SBW, this study provides valuable insights for identifying, protecting and managing important habitat for beaked whales.
Assessing the adductor musculature and jaw mechanics of Proterochampsa nodosa (Archosauriformes: Proterochampsidae) through finite element analysis

Published: January 2024

AbstractProterochampsids are a group of South American nonarchosaurian archosauromorphs whose general morphology has been historically likened to that of the extant Crocodylia, which purportedly exhibited similar habits by convergence. Taxa from the genus Proterochampsa, for example, show platyrostral skulls with dorsally faced orbits and external nares and elongated snouts that might indicate a feeding habit similar to that of crocodilians. Nonetheless, some aspects of their craniomandibular anatomy are distinct. Proterochampsa has comparatively larger skull temporal fenestrae, and a unique morphology of the mandibular adductor chamber, with a remarkably large surangular shelf and a fainter retroarticular region in the mandible. In light of this, we conducted biomechanical tests on a 3‐dimensional model of Proterochampsa nodosa including the first Finite Element Analysis for proterochampsians and compared it with models of the extant crocodylians Tomistoma schlegelii and Alligator mississippiensis. Our analyses suggested that, despite the differences in adductor chamber, Proterochampsa was able to perform bite forces comparable to those modeled for Alligator and significantly higher than Tomistoma. However, the morphology of the surangular shelf and the adductor chamber of Proterochampsa renders it more prone to accumulate stresses resulting from muscle contraction, when compared with both analogs. The elongated lower jaw of Proterochampsa, like that of Tomistoma, is more susceptible to bending, when compared with Alligator. As a result, we suggest that Proterochampsa might employ anteriorly directed bites only when handling small and soft‐bodied prey. In addition, Proterochampsa exemplifies the diversity of arrangements that the adductor musculature adopted in different diverging archosauromorph groups.

AbstractNowadays, Al (dual) batteries are mainly based on graphite cathode materials. Besides this material, the limited life cycle and the rate performance of other possible cathode materials have hampered the development of practical and sustainable rechargeable aluminium batteries (RABs). Herein, we report an organic A4‐metal‐free porphyrin system bearing diphenylamimo‐phenyl functional units as an Al‐storage cathode material, which is capable of delivering a reversible capacity of 83 mAh g−1 at 1 A g−1 after 200 cycles and displays a good cycling stability. Achieving such high rate performance opens a pathway to developing practical sustainable cathodes for aluminium batteries.
Aarebrücke, Aarau (CH)
Authors: Santini Gilbert 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAn einem Standort, an welchem seit der Römerzeit Brückenbauwerke stehen, wurde im Jahr 2023 eine neue Brücke über die Aare eingeweiht. Sie verbindet das Nordufer mit der südlich gelegenen Altstadt von Aarau, der Hauptstadt des Kantons Aargau. Die moderne Interpretation traditioneller Ästhetik kombiniert die neue Aarebrücke mit Funktionalität und Effizienz. Mit einer Länge von ca. 119 m, einer Breite von 17,5 m, einer Hauptspannweite von 44 m und zwei Nebenspannweiten von ca. 29 m verfügt sie über zwei Fahrspuren, beidseitige Gehsteige und Radfahrspuren. Die rationale Stahlbetonkonstruktion ist dank ausgedünnter Geometrie und Hohlkörpern sparsam im Materialeinsatz. Die Brücke stellt sich zum Teil auf die beiden im Flussbett befindlichen Senkkästen (Caissons) der alten Brücke mit Baujahr 1949 ab. Das Brückenbauwerk wird an seinen vier Extremitäten im Vorland optisch durch Stützmauern verlängert, deren Längen zwischen 45 m und 89 m variieren. Die Optik der Brücke ist von den massiven Steinbauten in Aarau inspiriert. Die leichte Einfärbung des Betons unterstützt den Dialog mit der Umgebung. Wo der Uferweg von der Brücke überspannt wird, bieten große Öffnungen den Querblick über das Wasser. Auf Seite der Altstadt sind eine urbane Promenade mit Bäumen und am nördlichen Uferbereich grüne Blumenwiesenflächen und natürliche Uferbestockung vorhanden.
Parametric modal regression with error in covariates
Authors: Liu Qingyang , Huang Xianzheng 
Published: January 2024

AbstractAn inference procedure is proposed to provide consistent estimators of parameters in a modal regression model with a covariate prone to measurement error. A score‐based diagnostic tool exploiting parametric bootstrap is developed to assess adequacy of parametric assumptions imposed on the regression model. The proposed estimation method and diagnostic tool are applied to synthetic data generated from simulation experiments and data from real‐world applications to demonstrate their implementation and performance. These empirical examples illustrate the importance of adequately accounting for measurement error in the error‐prone covariate when inferring the association between a response and covariates based on a modal regression model that is especially suitable for skewed and heavy‐tailed response data.
A novel model for predicting prognosis in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis based on endoplasmic reticulum stress‐related genes

Published: January 2024

AbstractIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive fibrotic disease of unknown pathogenic origin. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress refers to the process by which cells take measures to ER function when the morphology and function of the reticulum are changed. Recent studies have demonstrated that the ER was involved in the evolution and progression of IPF. In this study, we obtained transcriptome data and relevant clinical information from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and conducted bioinformatics analysis. Among the 544 ER stress‐related genes (ERSRGs), 78 were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs). These DEGs were primarily enriched in response to ER stress, protein binding, and protein processing. Two genes (HTRA2 and KTN1) were included for constructing an accurate molecular signature. The overall survival of patients was remarkably worse in the high‐risk group than in the low‐risk group. We further analyzed the difference in immune cells between high‐risk and low‐risk groups. M0 and M2 macrophages were significantly increased in the high‐risk group. Our results suggested that ERSRGs might play a critical role in the development of IPF by regulating the immune microenvironment in the lungs, which provide new insights on predicting the prognosis of patients with IPF.
Mimicking Non‐Canonical Radical Cyclizations in the Synthesis of Dibenzocyclooctadiene Natural Products
Authors: Carroll‐Pöhls Madison , Lumb Jean‐Philip 
Published: January 2024

AbstractUnique chemical structures that are often characteristic of biologically active natural products are often created by oxidative cyclizations. Many of these reactions are catalysed by ‘non‐canonical’ or ‘thwarted’ iron oxygenases that appear to involve long‐lived radicals. This perspective summarizes our group‘s efforts to mimic these biosynthetic transformations for the synthesis of highly oxidized dibenzocyclooctadiene lignan natural products using redox neutral photocatalysis. We describe the evolution of this research program, which hinges on the use of Okada's redox active ester, and show how multiple factors control the fate of the resulting radicals.

Published: January 2024

AbstractMultiphysics modeling enables probing of conditions inside a CO2 electrolyzer that are difficult to measure, such as local concentrations and pH, as well as rapid testing of possible design changes. A one‐dimensional model for a zero‐gap membrane electrode assembly (MEA) CO2 electrolyzer was developed with the assumption that catalyst layers interact with the membrane ionomer such that the ionomer affects the underlying kinetics. The kinetics for bicarbonate reacting to form hydrogen are fit using a planar electrode model for silver with an ionomer coating. The MEA model results are validated against experimental studies for current density and product selectivity. Flooding of the cathode is modeled using saturation curves, and results show that blocked pores in the microporous layer play a significant role in limiting the mass transport at high potentials (>2.8 V). Sensitivity studies showed that CO Faradaic efficiency can be increased by decreasing catalyst layer thickness and porosity, and decreasing KHCO3 concentration.
