Published: January 2024

AbstractFast charging technology for electric vehicles (EVs), offering rapid charging times similar to conventional vehicle refueling, holds promise but faces obstacles owing to kinetic issues within lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Specifically, the significance of cathode materials in fast charging has grown because Ni‐rich cathodes are employed to enhance the energy density of LIBs. Herein, the mechanism behind the loss of fast charging capability of Ni‐rich cathodes during extended cycling is investigated through a comparative analysis of Ni‐rich cathodes with different microstructures. The results revealed that microcracks and the resultant cathode deterioration significantly compromised the fast charging capability over extended cycling. When thick rocksalt impurity phases form throughout the particles owing to electrolyte infiltration via microcracks, the limited kinetics of Li+ ions create electrochemically unreactive areas under high‐current conditions, resulting in the loss of fast charging capability. Hence, preventing microcrack formation by tailoring microstructures is essential to ensure stability in fast charging capability. Understanding the relationship between microcracks and the loss of fast charging capability is essential for developing Ni‐rich cathodes that facilitate stable fast charging upon extended cycling, thereby promoting widespread EV adoption.

New chiral phosphine‐amine‐ether (PNO) ligands of the general formula Ph2PCH(R1)(CH2)nCH(R1)N(R2)CH(R3)CH2OMe, where R1, R2, and R3 = H or Me, n = 0 or 1, and their ruthenium complexes of the type [RuCl2(PPh3)(PNO)] have been synthesized. The coordination compounds were characterized by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, modeled by DFT calculations, and in one case analyzed by X‐ray crystallography. The combined spectroscopic and theoretical investigations revealed that the relative configuration of the stereogenic elements in the P–N and N–O backbone represents a crucial factor in determining the conformation of the pincer‐type chelates and may also affect the configuration of the coordinated stereogenic nitrogen in the NH subunit, an essential element of stereochemical communication in outer sphere bifunctional catalysis. The new complexes were applied in the asymmetric hydrogenation of fused ring bicyclic ketones (i.e., 1‐tetralone and 4‐chromanone derivatives), a challenging substrate class, where enantioselectivities up to 97% could be obtained. Based on the spectroscopic and theoretical studies and catalytic experiments, structural features affecting the stereochemistry of the coordination could be identified and a qualitative enantioinduction model has been proposed.

Published: January 2024

AbstractA rapid headspace gas chromatography method has been developed for the determination of residual organic solvents in photoinitiators. Using water‐glyceryl triacetate as the solvent, the method was used to determine the residual levels of 11 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), namely, benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, acetonitrile, acetone, n‐hexane, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, and ethyl acetate, in photoinitiators. Under the selected instrument operating conditions, all the residual solvents were completely separated. A detailed analysis was conducted on these 11 organic solvents. The mass concentrations of these solvents were linearly correlated with the chromatographic peak area, with a linear R2 is called determination coefficient R2 ≥ 0.99, and the relative standard deviation (n = 5) was less than 5.8%. The recovery rates of n‐hexane and toluene were 90.3% and 102.9%, respectively. The method exhibits good precision and accuracy, making it suitable for the rapid detection and inspection of 11 residual VOC components in photoinitiators. The practical applicability of the method was evaluated by blue applicability grade index and the score was 75.0 demonstrating its good practicality and applicability.
Mental health trajectories in adolescents during Covid‐19: ‘Are we all in this together’?
Authors: Hartas Dimitra 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study used a longitudinal probability sample survey, Understanding Society: Covid‐19, to examine trajectories in adolescents' mental health, via the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, at three timepoints during Covid‐19 with a particular emphasis on vulnerable groups (i.e., young carers, adolescent girls, BAME—Black, Asian and minority ethnic, and adolescents in financially strained households). Generally, self‐reports of emotional and total difficulties remained stable during the pandemic, although adolescents who had limited social support were far more likely to report severe emotional and total difficulties. Young people with pre‐existing mental and physical health conditions appeared more resilient, whereas vulnerable young people were hit the hardest during the pandemic. Compared to their less vulnerable peers, young carers, adolescent girls, Black or mixed‐race young people and adolescents in financially strained households were more likely to report reduced mental health during the pandemic. It is hoped that the findings will contribute to debates about the pandemic unveiling existing mental health inequalities in society, and to public policy in an era of perma‐crises as we currently face a cost of living crisis where public services are under enormous strain to reach those who need them most.

Published: January 2024

AbstractHerein, reactivity studies of a cyclic bis‐hydridostannylene [(ADC)SnH]2 (1‐H2) (ADC=PhC{(NDipp)C}2; Dipp=2,6‐iPr2C6H3) with various unsaturated organic substrates are reported. Reactions of terminal alkynes (RC≡CH) with 1‐H2 afford mixed acetylide‐vinyl‐functionalized bis‐stannylenes via dehydrogenation and hydrostannylation. Treatment of 1‐H2 with PhC≡CCH3 gives a unique distannabarrelene via dehydrogenative C(sp3)−H stannylation and hydrostannylation of the C≡CCH3 moiety. 1‐H2 undergoes dehydrogenative [2+2]‐cycloaddition reactions with diphenylacetylene, azobenzene, acetone, benzophenone, and benzaldehyde to form the 1,4‐distannabarrelene derivatives. The elimination of H2 in these reactions suggests the masked‐diradical property of 1‐H2. In fact, these [2+2]‐cycloaddition products are also accessible on treatments of the Sn(I) diradicaloid [(ADC)Sn]2 (1) with appropriate reagents. All compounds have been characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X‐ray diffraction. Moreover, the catalytic activity of 1‐H2 has been shown for the hydroboration of unsaturated substrates.

AbstractLignin, the most prevalent natural source of polyphenols on Earth, offers substantial possibilities for the conversion into aromatic compounds, which is critical for attaining sustainability and carbon neutrality. The hydrogen‐transfer method has garnered significant interest owing to its environmental compatibility and economic viability. The efficacy of this approach is contingent upon the careful selection of catalytic and hydrogen‐donating systems that decisively affect the yield and selectivity of the monomeric products resulting from lignin degradation. This paper highlights the hydrogen‐transfer technique in lignin refinery, with a specific focus on the influence of hydrogen donors on the depolymerization pathways of lignin. It delineates the correlation between the structure and activity of catalytic hydrogen‐transfer arrangements and the gamut of lignin‐derived biochemicals, utilizing data from lignin model compounds, separated lignin, and lignocellulosic biomass. Additionally, the paper delves into the advantages and future directions of employing the hydrogen‐transfer approach for lignin conversion. In essence, this concept investigation illuminates the efficacy of the hydrogen‐transfer paradigm in lignin valorization, offering key insights and strategic directives to maximize lignin's value sustainably.

AbstractConfounding factors including exercise and environments challenge the interpretation of individual Athlete Biological Passports (ABPs). This study aimed to investigate the natural variability of hematological ABP parameters over 1 year in elite athletes compared with healthy control subjects and the validity of a multiparametric model estimating plasma volume (PV) shifts to correct individual ABP thresholds. Blood samples were collected monthly with full blood counts performed by flow cytometry (Sysmex XN analyzers) in 20 elite xc‐skiers (ELITE) and 20 moderately trained controls. Individual ABP profiles were generated through Anti‐Doping Administration & Management System Training, a standalone version of the ABP's adaptive model developed by the World Anti‐Doping Agency. Additionally, eight serum parameters were computed as volume‐sensitive biomarkers to run a multiparametric model to estimate PV. Variability in ELITE compared with controls was significantly higher for the Abnormal Blood Profile Scores (P = 0.003). Among 12 Atypical Passport Findings (ATPF) initially reported, six could be removed after correction of PV shifts with the multiparametric modeling. However, several ATPF were additionally generated (n = 19). Our study outlines a larger intraindividual variability in elite athletes, likely explained by more frequent exposure to extrinsic factors altering hematological biomarkers. PV correction for individual ABP thresholds allowed to explain most of the atypical findings while generating multiple new ATPF occurrences in the elite population. Overall, accounting for PV shifts in elite athletes was shown to be paramount in this study outlining the opportunity to consider PV variations with novel approaches when interpreting individual ABP profiles.

AbstractWe performed genotyping analysis of human biallelic polymorphisms (single nucleotide polymorphisms) for the detection of homologous blood transfusion in sports doping. DNA was extracted from dried blood spots and quantified real‐time fast PCR. The method was proven to allow the detection of transfusions up to a donor percentage of 1%, with a significant improvement in terms of sensitivity with respect to both the reference cytofluorimetric method and a previously proposed strategy based on the DNA STR‐based strategy.
Comparative utility of the DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 diagnostic classifications of eating disorders of recurrent binge eating in an Australian community‐based sample
Authors: Brytek‐Matera Anna , Touyz Stephen , Hay Phillipa 
Published: January 2024

AbstractObjectiveThe present study aimed to compare the estimated prevalence, sociodemographic features and impacts of Bulimia Nervosa (BN), Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED; BN or BED of low frequency and/or limited duration) when comparing the DSM‐5 with the broader ICD‐11 diagnostic criteria for size and specifiers of binge‐eating episodes in a general population epidemiological sample.Methods2977 individuals (1524 women and 1453 men) aged ≥15 years from randomly selected households in South Australia were interviewed in person. Participants were asked questions relating to sociodemographic features, symptoms of eating disorder pathology, physical and mental health‐related quality of life (HRQoL; SF‐12) and role impairment.ResultsThe estimated prevalence of only one diagnosis, namely BED, was lower when applying DSM‐5 criteria than when applying ICD‐11 criteria, largely due to the Criterion B binge‐eating specifiers of the DSM‐5. There were no significant differences in participants' demographic features, HRQoL, or role impairment between the comparable diagnosis of either scheme.ConclusionsThere were few differences in distribution and similar levels of health impacts when applying either diagnostic scheme in this epidemiological study. However, cases of BED may be missed when using the stricter criteria of DSM‐5 in epidemiological surveys. Further studies are needed to assess the clinical utility of the DSM‐5 and ICD‐11 diagnostic specifiers of binge‐eating.
An artificial immune system‐based algorithm for selfish node detection in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs)
Authors: Gowtham M. S. , Vigenesh M. , Ramkumar M. 
Published: January 2024

AbstractThe Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) depending on dynamic distributed topology presents several challenges such as decentralized infrastructure. In MANET, each node act as a host as well as a router to exchange packet. From Source to destination, the MANET nodes offer the ability of transmission to send, receive, and route traffic. Moreover, the presence of selfish nodes or malicious nodes in MANETs significantly degrades network performance. Identifying and isolating such nodes poses a formidable challenge. Consequently, this research introduces a security model founded on the principles of an Artificial Immune System (AIS) to detect and defend against Selfish Node (SN) attacks. This research work employs the principles of AIS to categorize a node's behavioral state based on the Mature Context Immune Antigen Rate (MCIAR). Subsequently, a hybrid protocol named Reliable History‐dependent Resource Conscious Clustered and Defensive AODV (RRCC‐DAODV) is introduced to detect Selfish Nodes (SNs) and counteract their attacks. Within the RRCC algorithm, the identification of selfish nodes relies on both Trust Value (TV) and Residual Energy (RE). Additionally, the proposed DAODV protocol incorporates the V‐detector algorithm to enhance defense mechanisms against potential attacks. The simulation of the proposed model is carried out in NS3. The proposed mechanism achieves a detection ratio of 94.05%. The simulation outcomes demonstrate the excellence of the implemented system. This superiority is observed when compared to other standard protocols, as indicated by the parameters of throughput, residual energy, packet delivery ratio, and delay.
Corporate foresight in light of the COVID‐19 pandemic—The crisis as a driver?
Authors: Schropp Theresa C. , Schwarz Jan Oliver , Buder Fabian 
Published: January 2024

AbstractOur study emphasizes the evolving nature and increasing relevance of corporate foresight (CF) in a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world. This research, therefore, contributes to the foresight literature, concerned with the antecedents and motivators of CF as it investigates how external events that are characterized by great uncertainty influence the CF practice of large companies. On the example of the COVID‐19 pandemic and based on a study of 25 interviews, this empirical research reveals that such events provoke an intensified engagement with the future within companies as implied by a greater resource commitment and interest in foresight. Thereby, CF and especially the development of multiple future scenarios, are considered helpful in countering uncertainty and facilitating responsiveness.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAflatoxin, mainly produced by Aspergillus flavus, is one of the most notorious mycotoxin for its toxicity and carcinogenicity. Despite extensive efforts, effective strategies to control A. flavus and AFB1 contamination remain elusive. Here, we investigate the potential of p‐anisaldehyde (AS), an aldehyde derived from plant essential oils, as a natural antifungal agent against A. flavus and its ability to modulate AFB1 biosynthesis. We found that AS exhibited broad‐spectrum antifungal activities against Aspergillus spp. and effectively inhibited A. flavus asexual development, AFB1 production, and pathogenicity. AS treatment disrupted the cell surface structure and membrane integrity, as observed by scanning electron microscopy and PI staining. RNA‐sequencing analysis revealed that AS significantly altered the expression of genes involved in redox homeostasis, plasma membrane function, and cell cycle progression. Further investigation demonstrated that AS induced a reduction in mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm) and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cell cycle arrest at the G2/M phase. The AS‐induced ROS accumulation was found to be mitigated by the superoxide dismutase‐mediated antioxidant system, which is regulated by transcriptional factor Ap1. Notably, the Ap1‐regulatory ROS detoxification system was also found to be involved in A. flavus pathogenicity and AFB1 production. Overall, these findings provide valuable insights into the inhibitory mechanism of AS against A. flavus, paving the way for its potential application as a natural strategy to mitigate AFB1 contamination in both food and agriculture crops.

Published: January 2024

AbstractThis study investigated the possibility of using active coatings based on Zedo gum containing essential oils of Zataria multiflora Boiss (ZE) and tarragon (TE) to increase the shelf life and maintain the quality of freshly cut potato strips. The chemical compositions of ZE and TE were initially identified, and their antioxidant and antimicrobial activities were investigated. ZE consisted mainly of carvacrol (26.26%), p‐cymene (21.50%), thymol (18.05%), and linalool (11.31%), and those of TE comprised p‐allylanisole (81.92%), β‐Ocimene E (8.06%), and β‐Ocimene Z (5.35%). Afterwards, a Zedo gum active coating (1% v/w) containing 1% (v/v) essential oil was prepared, and the produced coating solutions were used to soak the potato strips for 5 min. The coated potatoes were kept fresh in a refrigerator for 9 days, and their quality characteristics were examined every 3 days. The results show that the weight loss, browning index, total microbial count, and mold and yeast counts in the strips increased during 9 days of cold storage, and hardness decreased (p < .05). However, the coatings of strips, especially those containing essential oils, reduced the intensity of changes in moisture, color, and hardness, increased microbial stability, and maintained the sensory acceptance of strips compared with the uncoated sample (control). Finally, this study demonstrated that the quality and shelf life of fresh potato strips can be improved by using active coatings based on Zedo gum containing ZE and TE (especially ZE).

AbstractObjectiveEndotracheal tube (ETT) surface electrodes are used to monitor the vagus nerve (VN), recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Alternative nerve monitoring methods are desirable when intubation under general anesthesia is not desirable or possible. In this pilot study, we compared the performance of standard ETT electrodes to four different noninvasive cutaneous recording electrode types (two adhesive electrodes and two needle electrodes) in three different orientations.MethodsThe VN was stimulated directly during thyroid and parathyroid surgery using a Prass stimulator probe. Electromyographic (EMG) responses for each patient were recorded using an ETT plus one of the following four cutaneous electrode types: large‐foot adhesive, small‐foot adhesive, long‐needle and short‐needle. Each of the four electrode types was placed in three orientations: (1) bilateral, (2) ipsilateral mediolateral, and (3) ipsilateral craniocaudal.ResultsFour surgical cases were utilized for data collection with the repetitive measures obtained in each subject. Bilateral electrode orientation was superior to ipsilateral craniocaudal and ipsilateral mediolateral orientations. Regardless of electrodes type, all amplitudes in the bilateral orientation were >100 μV. When placed bilaterally, the small‐foot adhesive and the long‐needle electrodes obtained the highest EMG amplitudes as a percentage of ETT amplitudes.ConclusionCutaneous electrodes could potentially be used to monitor the VN during thyroid and parathyroid procedures. Different electrode types vary in their ability to record amplitudes and latencies. Bilateral orientation improves EMG responses in all electrode types. Additional validation of cutaneous electrodes as an alternative noninvasive method to monitor the VN is needed.
