Abstract

Objective
Fishery managers often implement mark-selective fishing regulations that provide harvest opportunity on abundant hatchery salmon populations while requiring release of at-risk natural-origin populations. However, implementing these decisions requires fisheries managers to account for postrelease mortality of any natural-origin fish caught and released by anglers, which can be variable and is unknown for spring Chinook Salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha recreational fisheries in eastern Washington. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate and examine the factors affecting, the postrelease mortality of spring Chinook Salmon caught and released from an inland recreational mark–selective fishery in the Yakima River, Washington.

Methods
We conducted a 2-year paired control and treatment radio-telemetry study using 171 treatment fish caught and released during a recreational fishery and 194 control fish captured in a nearby fishway. Subjects were subsequently tracked throughout the summer, and postrelease mortality was estimated on September 1. Stepwise logistic regression was used to analyze potential explanatory variables recorded at the time of capture.

Result
The estimated postrelease mortality of these fish was 12% (95% CI = 2–23%) just prior to the onset of spawning. We also inferred using logistic regression that anatomical hook location explained most of the variation in mortality rates of angled fish.

Conclusion
Our estimate of postrelease mortality is similar to estimates derived in other studies for recreational freshwater Chinook Salmon fisheries as well as the current 10% rate used to manage Columbia River spring Chinook Salmon recreational fisheries.

Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectiveThis study investigated remodeling of cellular metabolism and structures during browning of primary human adipocytes derived from both visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues. Effects of glucocorticoids on the browning were also assessed.MethodsDifferentiated omental and subcutaneous human adipocytes were treated with rosiglitazone, with or without dexamethasone, and expression levels of brite adipocyte markers, lipolysis, and lipid droplet and mitochondrial structures were examined.ResultsBoth omental and subcutaneous adipocytes acquired brite phenotypes upon peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor‐γ agonist treatment, and dexamethasone tended to enhance the remodeling. Although rosiglitazone increased lipolysis during treatment, brite adipocytes exhibited lower basal lipolytic rates and enhanced responses to β‐adrenergic agonists or atrial natriuretic peptide. Transcriptome analysis identified induction of both breakdown and biosynthesis of lipids in brite adipocytes. After 60+ days in culture, lipid droplet size increased to ~50 microns, becoming almost unilocular in control adipocytes, and after browning, they acquired paucilocular morphology, clusters of small lipid droplets (1–2 micron) surrounded by mitochondria appearing on the periphery of the central large one.ConclusionsMetabolic and structural remodeling during browning of primary human adipocytes is similar to previous findings in human adipocytes in vivo, supporting their uses for mechanical studies investigating browning with translational relevance.
Surrogate‐based optimization for active drag reduction of turbulent boundary layer flows
Authors: Hübenthal Fabian , Albers Marian , Meinke Matthias , Schröder Wolfgang 
Published: November 2023

AbstractTwo surrogate‐based optimization strategies using support vector regression (SVR) and Gaussian process regression (GPR) as surrogates are investigated to guide the design of actuation parameters for active drag reduction techniques in turbulent boundary layer flows encountered at civil airplanes in cruise flight and high‐speed trains. As an approximation, the turbulent flow over a flat plate subjected to spanwise traveling transversal sinusoidal surface waves is simulated by wall‐resolved large‐eddy simulations (LESs). These simulation data are used to model the dependence of the objective drag reduction on the actuation parameters, that is, the optimization variables. In this work, the previous purely exploitative approach of SVR‐based ridgeline optimization is extended to GPR‐based Bayesian optimization to further automate the simulation‐driven tuning of the actuation parameters.

AbstractAimPatients with anorexia nervosa (AN) sometimes undergo a chronic course, and they hardly maintain social participation. Work and social adjustment impairments are generally significantly associated with the clinical symptoms of eating disorders. Psychopathologies associated with the subjective social difficulties of patients with AN have been unclear. This study examined the association between AN psychopathologies and work and social adjustment impairments in adult female patients with AN.MethodsThis study included 36 Japanese adult female patients with AN who completed the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS) and the Eating Disorder Inventory‐2 (EDI‐2). Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to assess correlations between WSAS and EDI‐2 or demographic variables.ResultsThe mean age was 31.8 years, the mean current body mass index was 13.4 kg/m2, and the median illness duration was 5 years. Patients demonstrated social difficulties, especially in social leisure activities. The total WSAS scores were significantly correlated with EDI‐2 “impulse regulation” and “asceticism.” WSAS “social leisure” was significantly correlated with EDI‐2 “bulimia,” “interoceptive awareness,” “impulse regulation,” and “asceticism.”ConclusionPsychopathologies, such as impulse regulation, asceticism, and interoceptive awareness, may be related factors to social difficulties. Emotion regulation, such as impulse regulation and emotional awareness, could be an important realm of treatment not only for psychopathology but also for social functioning in patients with AN.

Published: November 2023

AbstractSmall cell lung cancer (SCLC) tumors are made up of distinct cell subpopulations, including neuroendocrine (NE) and non‐neuroendocrine (non‐NE) cells. While secreted factors from non‐NE SCLC cells have been shown to support the growth of the NE cells, the underlying molecular factors are not well understood. Here, we show that exosome‐type small extracellular vesicles (SEVs) secreted from non‐NE SCLC cells promote adhesion and survival of NE SCLC cells. Proteomic analysis of purified SEVs revealed that extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and integrins are highly enriched in SEVs of non‐NE cells whereas nucleic acid‐binding proteins are enriched in SEVs purified from NE cells. Addition of select purified ECM proteins identified in purified extracellular vesicles (EVs), specifically fibronectin, laminin 411, and laminin 511, were able to substitute for the role of non‐NE‐derived SEVs in promoting adhesion and survival of NE SCLC cells. Those same proteins were differentially expressed by human SCLC subtypes. These data suggest that ECM‐carrying SEVs secreted by non‐NE cells play a key role in supporting the growth and survival of NE SCLC cells.

Published: November 2023

AbstractDue to the ability to perform the parallel measurement of multiple single chains and exert precise control over stretching force in the sub‐nanonewton regime, magnetic tweezers (MT) are a suitable tool to study the individual chain conformations and inherent behaviors of polymers. Herein, we examined the applications of MT in studying single synthetic polymers, distinct from previous reviews focusing on biological polymers such as DNAs. We first presented an overview of the technical aspects of MT, including the imaging setup, the algorithm of three‐dimensional single particle tracking, the configuration of magnets, the calibration and control of magnetic forces, the assembly of flow cells, and the polymer tethering methods. Then, we discussed selected examples highlighting the utilization of MT in studying the chain conformation, mechanical properties, ion and ligands effect, regime transition mechanism, and polymerization dynamics of single synthetic polymers. We envision that MT can serve as a powerful toolbox for delving into the structure–property correlations at the single chain level, which provides quantitative validations for building the theoretical models of synthetic polymers. In the end, we contemplated potential avenues and opportunities for future research in this domain.

AbstractObjectiveCervical Cancer (CC) lingers as a severe public health issue due to low vaccination coverage and poor screening addressability. Hence, this systematic review explored psychological factors influencing the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccination uptake in European women.MethodsAs of September 2022, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science were systematically searched to include English studies assessing diverse factors influencing vaccination uptake in European women. Only studies comparing vaccinated with unvaccinated women were included. Quality assessment, publication attrition assessment, and sensitivity analyses were performed.ResultsEighteen studies were included, totaling a population of 18,611 participants. Results indicated that knowledge about HPV infection could positively influence vaccination rates with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 1.82 and a confidence interval (CI) between 1.27 and 2.61, showing statistical significance at aZvalue of 3.24 with ap‐value of 0.001. Neither knowledge about HPV vaccination (OR = 1.39, CI: 0.73–2.65,Z = 1.01,p = 0.31) nor knowledge about CC screening (OR = 1.05, CI: 0.55–1.98,Z = 0,14,p = 0.89) seem to affect vaccination rates. Regardless, intention to undertake CC screening (CCS) showed an OR = 1.68 in favor of the group intending to perform it, with a CI between 1.37 and 2.07, showing statistical significance at aZ = 4.94 andp = 0.00001. Other aspects affecting vaccination uptake were fear of side effects, insufficient information, and belief that chances of being infected are low.ConclusionsResults demonstrated that diverse aspects could affect the vaccination intent, while personalized interventions focusing on population and country characteristics need to be assembled to mitigate vaccination coverage.
Microscopic quantum mechanical Marcus theory for chemical reactions and its relationship to theButler‐Volmerequation used in redox flow battery analysis
Authors: Krowne Clifford M. 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThe vanadium redox flow battery has been intensively examined since the 1970s. What is missing is a connection between the current‐overpotential Butler‐Volmer equation, which provides an extremely helpful starting point for analytical and numerical studies, and microscopic quantum mechanical behavior at the atomic level. Such a connection will allow further advancements beyond the macroscopic, though very useful and insightful, modeling already done in the literature. Here we show rigorously the connection between the Butler‐Volmer transfer coefficients, and the Marcus Gibbs free energy quantum mechanical parameters, and develop the equation directly in terms of the quantum mechanical parameters.
Upgrading adaptation: How digital transformation promotes organizational resilience

Published: November 2023

AbstractResearch SummaryThis study explores how digital transformation can promote organizational resilience when incumbent firms face crises. We examine the intersection of digital transformation and resilience‐seeking processes through two longitudinal case studies of incumbent firms designated as “essential businesses” during the COVID‐19 pandemic. We analyze 72 crisis adaptations the firms implemented during the crisis to understand how previously underutilized digital capabilities upgraded each firm's ability to adapt to mitigate stakeholder risks and engage in resilience‐seeking rather than advantage‐ or opportunity‐seeking. We identify five digital capabilities—virtual access, virtual collaboration, data‐driven decision‐making, algorithmic reprogrammability, and assisted decision‐making—that arose from technologies acquired to enable digital transformation before the crisis. We discuss the concept of resilience opportunities and contribute to the literatures on digital transformation and organizational resilience.Managerial SummaryWhile studying the digital transformation of incumbent firms, we found that digital capabilities helped firms adapt during the COVID‐19 pandemic in ways that crisis management plans did not anticipate. As a result, these adaptations accelerated digital transformation initiatives that years of strategic planning had failed to achieve. We explain why the quantum leap in digital transformation helped these firms not only adapt during crisis, but digital adaptation also enabled them to bounce back more resilient and competitive than before the crisis. We show how the pursuit of organizational resilience can be a vital justification for investments in digital transformation. Strategic leaders play a critical role in not only adopting new technologies, but also in helping firms become more adaptive by combining new and legacy technologies.

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn the present study, the spectroscopic investigation of pyriproxyfen (PYR) has been carried out using density functional theory and experimental methods. The FT‐IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra of PYR were recorded, interpreted and compared with the theoretical spectra. The polarizability and hyperpolarizabilities are responsible for higher lipophilicity which leads to the acute aquatic toxicity of the PYR molecule. The UV‐Visible spectra of PYR exhibited the presence of π
π* transition between the π‐orbitals of phenoxyphenyl and pyridyl ring. The standard entropy, heat capacity at constant volume and total energy have been computed to assess the toxicity of the compound. Molecular docking revealed the insecticidal potential of PYR owing to the presence of hydrogen bond interactions between PYR and mosquito juvenile hormone binding protein of aedes aegypti. The biophysical study predicts the possible DNA‐PYR interactions and carcinogenic properties of PYR molecule.
Efficiently Paired Electrosynthesis of Hydroquinone from Phenol by Refreshing the Passivated Pb Anode

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn this work, a novel paired electrosynthesis was adopted to prepare hydroquinone from phenol at Pb electrodes. The electrolysis results showed that the anode was passivated during the phenol oxidation, leading to a decrease in anode activity. Characterizations of the passivated anode revealed that the by‐products were absorbed on the anode surface, such as polymers (produced from the electrochemical polymerization of phenol), and poorly conductive PbSO4 appeared. Therefore, the exchange of anode and cathode in the reaction intervals was done to refresh the passivated anode. No sticking organics were basically found on the refreshed anode surface and the Pb oxides were reduced to Pb. The yield of hydroquinone reached to 77.4 % by refreshing the passivated anode at the optimized conditions of 20 mA/cm2, 4.8 A ⋅ h, and 30 °C. Furthermore, the 71.1 % yield of hydroquinone was maintained when the catholyte was recycled after four extraction cycles. This study presents a promising technique for hydroquinone preparation.
Oriented External Electric Field Modulated Superhalogen Characteristic and Photoelectric Properties of Al4N2 Cluster: A Density Functional Theory Study

Published: November 2023

AbstractDesigning superatoms with special structural and photoelectric properties is vital for the applications in multiple fields including condensed matter physics, nanomaterials science etc. In this study, the effects of an oriented external electric field (OEEF) on the geometry, electronic properties, photoelectron spectrum (PES), and nonlinear optical (NLO) response of the main group metal‐doped cluster Al4N2 were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results demonstrate that the OEEF has the capability to increase the value of the electron affinity (EA) of Al4N2 continuously and dramatically, transforming it into a member of superhalogens while maintaining its geometrical stability. Such an enhancement of the EA value of Al4N2 is attributed to the downward shift of the electronic spectrum under the effect of the OEEF. Strikingly, the relationship between the EA value of Al4N2 and the OEEF strength can be fitted by a perfect polynomial formula, which indicates that the OEEF can realize the accurate and continuous regulation of the electronic properties of Al4N2. In addition, the simulated PES of the Al4N2− cluster was observed to be blue shifted following the enhancement of the OEEF intensities, and the NLO response of the cluster can also be remarkably altered by the OEEF.
ZnO@C Coated Cellulose‐Based Separators Control Lithium Deposition Direction to Stable Lithium Metal Batteries

Published: November 2023

AbstractLi metal anodes have attracted attention due to their high specific capacity and low electrochemical potential. Nevertheless, the uncontrolled growth of Li dendrites hinders the practical application of Li metal batteries. Although the various approaches have made performance improvements, safety hazards still exist since Li dendrites are still growing along the anode to the separator during the continuous plating/stripping process. Herein, a straightforward method is proposed to achieve stable Li metal batteries with directional growth control by using a functional ZnO@C/cellulose membrane as a separator. The abundant pore structure and functional groups of biomass cellulose enhance the Li‐ion transport and interface compatibility. The ZnO transforms in situ to form a Li–Zn alloy layer which is uniformly coated to the separator to direct uniform ion concentration polarization and charge distribution polarization, control the growth direction of Li, significantly improve the cycling stability, and promote the reversibility of the Li plating/exfoliation process. As a result, the symmetric cell exhibits an extreme lifetime of more than 4500 h and low polarization at 3 mA cm−2. The cycling performance of the Li||LiFePO4 full cell reaches a capacity retention of 98% after 270 cycles at a mass loading of 10 mg cm−2.

Published: November 2023

AbstractCells are highly dynamic and adopt variable shapes and sizes. These variations are biologically important but challenging to investigate in a spatiotemporally controlled manner. Micropatterning, confining cells on microfabricated substrates with defined geometries and molecular compositions, is a powerful tool for controlling cell shape and interactions. However, conventional binary micropatterns are static and fail to address dynamic changes in cell polarity, spreading, and migration. Here, a method for dynamic micropatterning is reported, where the non‐adhesive surface surrounding adhesive micropatterns is rapidly converted to support specific cell‐matrix interactions while allowing simultaneous imaging of the cells. The technique is based on ultraviolet photopatterning of biotinylated polyethylene glycol‐grafted poly‐L‐lysine, and it is simple, inexpensive, and compatible with a wide range of streptavidin‐conjugated ligands. Experiments using biotinylation‐based dynamic micropatterns reveal that distinct extracellular matrix ligands and bivalent integrin‐clustering antibodies support different degrees of front‐rear polarity in human glioblastoma cells, which correlates to altered directionality and persistence upon release and migration on fibronectin. Unexpectedly, however, neither an asymmetric cell shape nor centrosome orientation can fully predict the future direction of migration. Taken together, biotinylation‐based dynamic micropatterns allow easily accessible and highly customizable control over cell morphology and motility.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper presents the findings of a large‐scale experimental study that focus on assessing structural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) cantilever slabs with carbon/epoxy fiber‐reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite strips using a near‐surface‐mounted (NSM) approach. The NSM/CFRP system evaluated in this study was implemented in strengthening the shoulders of the Slide Canyon Bridge in California, USA. The experimental phase is divided into two main parts: (i) determining the design parameters for NSM, including the bondline strength through pull‐out tests, and (ii) conducting a practical evaluation of the bending behavior of original and retrofitted RC cantilever slabs, each with varying NSM reinforcement and three different development lengths. Results of this study indicated that the use of NSM‐CFRP has a considerable benefit in that it significantly improves ductility and changes the failure mode of the unstrengthened RC slab from the typical brittle shear‐based failure mode to a more ductile flexural‐based failure mode. The large‐scale slab specimens' performances, which had different development lengths, showed little variance, except for the slab specimen with a development length of 457.0 mm that exhibited an appreciable flexural stiffness as compared to other specimens evaluated in this study. In order to simulate the serviceability and ultimate behavior of the RC slab specimens, linear and nonlinear finite element analyses were performed. A satisfactory agreement between numerical and experimental results was achieved especially at load level prior the initiation of large‐size cracks.
