AbstractDeveloping high‐performance oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts that can operate stably at large current densities in seawater plays a crucial role in enabling large‐scale hydrogen production, however, it remains a significant challenge. Herein, sulfur‐doped NiFe layered double hydroxide nanosheet (S‐NiFe LDH) grown on a 3D porous nickel foam skeleton is synthesized through electrochemical deposition and ion‐exchange strategies at room temperature as high‐performance, highly selective, and durable OER electrocatalyst for seawater electrolysis at large current density. The incorporation of S can enhance the conductivity, promote structural reconstruction to form highly active oxyhydroxides, as well as improve the anti‐corrosion ability of chloride ions. Furthermore, due to its unique self‐supporting structure and superhydrophilicity, which provide abundant active sites and promote efficient bubble release, the optimized electrocatalyst demands a minimal overpotential of 278 and 299 mV to generate 1000 mA cm−2 in alkaline freshwater/seawater, respectively, confirming its excellent OER activity. Meanwhile, the synthesized electrocatalyst also demonstrates exceptional stability in both media, as it maintains stable performance for a duration of 200 h at 500 mA cm−2. The present work offers an efficient strategy and innovative viewpoint for developing efficient OER electrocatalysts for seawater electrolysis.

AbstractThis work investigates novel improvements in FeNi‐layered double hydroxide (LDH)/MIL‐88A heterocomposite for sustainable seawater electrolysis through a single‐step dual functionalization process. The Fe/Ni precursor weight ratio is optimized, resulting in the formation of smaller LDH petals and nano‐sized MIL‐88A metal–organic framework, which transforms into clusters of Fe2O3 nanospheres within a nitrogen‐functionalized carbon matrix over NiFe2O4 nano petals upon calcination. Furthermore, oxygen vacancies, and nitrogen functionalization are attained in a single step by employing thermal ammonia reduction, significantly improving the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities. Particularly the oxygen vacancy and nitrogen functionalization are found to accelerate the O─O coupling step in OER by lowering the activation barrier. Likewise, the dual functionalization promotes destabilizing the hydride intermediates in HER potentially facilitating faster proton‐coupled electron transfer. Hence, the optimized electrode achieves current densities of 200 mA cm−2 at overpotentials of 350 and 240 mV for OER and HER respectively. The chronopotentiometry stability tests confirms the electrode's durability over 200 h at 20 mA cm−2 in alkaline seawater electrolyte. The optimized electrode, composed of cost‐effective and environmentally friendly materials, demonstrates robustness in alkaline seawater electrolytes, positioning it as a strong candidate for practical and sustainable water electrolysis applications.

AbstractAchieving synergistic oxidation and reduction represents a significant challenge in the field of photocatalysis. In this study, the hydrothermal/in situ construction of Bi atom clusters within Bi2Sn2O7/ZnIn2S4 (BSO/ZIS) heterostructures is reported. These clusters exhibit self‐accelerating charge‐transfer mechanisms facilitated by internal electric fields and bonding bridges, resulting in highly efficient light absorption and charge‐transfer capabilities. In situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), as well as theoretical calculations, indicate that the canonical induction and promotion of electrons and holes by the Bi clusters lowers the activation energy of CHO* generation, allowing simultaneous CO2 reduction and toluene oxidation over the catalyst, and enhances proton‐coupling and electron‐transfer processes, resulting in a unique reaction mechanism. The CO2 and toluene as reactant, the Bi‐Bi2Sn2O7/ZnIn2S4 (B‐BSO/ZIS) heterostructure achieves a CO2 reduction rate to CO of 726.3 µmol g−1 h−1 (99.9% selectivity) and a toluene oxidation rate to benzaldehyde of 2362.0 µmol g−1 h−1 (98.0% selectivity), which increases in activity of 14.6 and 5.7 times compared to pristine ZnIn2S4. This study underscores the significance of modulating the photocatalytic pathway through the strategic selection of metal clusters and reactants, contributing to the rational design of photocatalysts for enhanced CO2 adsorption and stabilization of *H.

AbstractThe pursuit of broadband near‐infrared (NIR) phosphors for next‐generation smart NIR light sources has garnered extensive interest. However, developing phosphors efficiently excitable by blue light to produce thermally stable and highly efficient broadband NIR emission surpassing 830 nm remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a novel CaGd2Ga4SiO12 garnet is reported, designed through a structure reconstruction approach to host Cr3+ ions for developing a high‐performance broadband NIR phosphor. By strategically introducing Jahn–Teller distortion at the octahedral sites via chemical pressure, Cr3+ is endowed with a super‐broadband NIR emission spanning 600–1300 nm centered at 837 nm. The full‐width at half maximum (FWHM) varies from 187 to 223 nm across Cr3+ doping concentrations, with the highest internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 99.01%. Remarkable luminescence thermal stability (90.37%@423 K) is bolstered by a weak electron‐phonon coupling (EPC) effect and trap‐mediated energy compensation, a result of the heterovalent ion substitutions in dodecahedral and tetrahedral sites. Furthermore, a prototype broadband NIR phosphor‐converted light‐emitting diode (pc‐LED) is fabricated, delivering a substantial NIR output power of 287.7 mW at 1100 mA and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 24.4% at 30 mA, enabling impressive performance in versatile applications, including component analysis, non‐destructive testing, NIR imaging, and night vision.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe creation of heterostructures with inherent interface polarization has been proven effective in enhancing piezocatalytic activity; however, developing efficient heterostructure piezocatalysts remains challenging, and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this work, a stable Bi2WO6/BiOBr heterostructure with strong chemical binding is successfully constructed by exchanging double Br− with WO42− in hydrothermal reaction. The heterostructure demonstrates exceptional piezocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiencies of 0.75 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ in water and 2.28 mmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹ in methanol solution, respectively, outperforming the majority of recently reported bismuth‐based piezocatalysts. During piezocatalytic operations, a robust coupling between the stress‐induced piezoelectric field and the inherent interfacial polarization is pivotal. This coupling results in a large intrinsic dipole moment, excellent piezoelectricity, and improved carrier separation and transfer. Additionally, the polar surface of heterostructure facilitates decreased Gibbs free energy, increased surface potential, and reduced charge transfer resistance, all of which contribute to the high‐activity surface piezocatalytic reaction. This study introduces a simple and universal method for in situ construction of layered bismuth‐based heterostructures with high piezocatalytic performance and offers valuable insights into the role of polarization coupling in piezocatalysis.

Published: February 2025

AbstractThe efficient experimental exploration of innovative nonlinear optical materials has long been a challenging task due to the vast chemical space and the lack of suitable theoretical prediction frameworks. Herein, a novel theoretical design paradigm is proposed to accelerate the discovery of novel materials with strong second harmonic generation intensity. This challenge is addressed through several key technologies. 1) A high‐precision machine learning model is proposed on the maximum nonlinear optical dataset. 2) Descriptors information paves the way to systematically offer valuable chemical insights for designing chemical structures. 3) A flexible and fast chemical space construction and exploration method is proposed. Accordingly, a nonlinear optical crystal is successfully synthesized through the constructed “machine to knowledge” theoretical framework. This novel compound exhibits a stronger second‐harmonic generation response and wider optical transmission range. This work introduces novel theoretical design concepts and provides innovative chemical insights into optical materials or other functional materials.

ABSTRACTEvolutionary test case generation plays a vital role in ensuring software quality and reliability. Since Web applications involve a large number of interactions between client and server, the dynamic evolutionary test case generation is very time‐consuming, which makes it difficult to apply in actual projects. Obviously, parallelization provides a feasible way to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of evolutionary test generation. In our previous research, the idea of parallelism has been introduced into the evolutionary test generation for Web applications. However, its performance is affected by many factors, such as migration scale, migration frequency, the number of browser processes and subpopulations, and so on. The analysis of influencing factors can guide enhancing the performance of evolutionary test generation. For this reason, this paper analyzes the factors that influence parallel evolutionary algorithms and how they affect the performance of test generation for Web applications. At the same time, different parallel evolutionary test generation methods are designed and implemented. Experiments are conducted on open‐source Web applications to generate test cases that meet the server‐side sensitive paths coverage criterion, providing guidance and suggestions for the parameter setting of parallel evolutionary test case generation for Web applications. The experimental results show that (1) compared with the global parallelization model, the evolutionary algorithm based on the parallel island model has a greater improvement in test case generation performance. In more detail, when generating test cases with the same server‐side sensitive paths coverage, the number of iterations required is reduced by 49.6%, and the time cost is reduced by 58.7%; (2) for the test case generation based on the parallel island model, if the migration scale is large, appropriately increasing the migration frequency can reduce its time cost; (3) if the number of subpopulations is fixed, appropriately increasing the number of browser processes can reduce the time cost of Web application test case evolution, but the number of browser processes should not be too large; otherwise, it may increase the time cost.
Reliability‐based assessment of a multilinear regression model for estimating the ultimate load of eccentrically loaded slender circular CFDST columns

Published: February 2025

AbstractThis paper presents a reliability‐based assessment of the multilinear regression (MR) model to predict the ultimate load of slender circular concrete‐filled double‐skin tubular (CFDST) columns under eccentric loading. To assess the MR model's performance, reliability analyses of 10 experimental CFDST columns are conducted and then compared to design code formulae (EN1994, ACI 318‐11, and AISC 2010). Results show that the MR model insignificantly exceeds the target reliability index within a mean absolute error (MAE) margin of 0.37, whereas the opposite applies for the design codes with MAE values of 2.18, 2.74, and 2.13 for EN1994, ACI 318‐11, and AISC 2010, respectively. First‐order reliability method sensitivity coefficients computed show that the model uncertainty has a minimal impact on the MR model but significantly affects the design models. Capacity adjustment factors, based on model uncertainty and eccentricity, are proposed for the design models, leading to improved agreement with target reliability indices with MAE values of 0.17, 1.08, and 0.33. These findings emphasize that the MR model and the modified design models are applicable for use in accurately predicting the ultimate load of slender circular CFDST columns subjected to eccentric loading with acceptable levels of reliability and safety margins.

Authors: Peters Harry J. , Nix Charlotte , Owen Laura , Riggs Julia 
Published: February 2025

AbstractTwo dogs were presented to our institution for further investigations of a mass lesion in the cranioventral cervical region. Computed tomography revealed both masses to be in the region of the hyoid apparatus, and partial lysis of the basihyoid bone was noted in both cases. Surgical removal of each mass, along with complete excision of the basihyoid bone, was performed. Histopathology was consistent with a thyroid follicular carcinoma for Patient A and a compact type thyroid carcinoma for Patient B. Prehension of food, mastication, water intake and vocalisation were unaffected immediately after surgery and at follow‐up (3.5 years and 7 months, respectively). Both dogs received courses of adjuvant single agent chemotherapy. Patient A was euthanased 3.5 years after surgery due to owner‐perceived poor quality of life and, at the time of writing this report 7 months after surgery, Patient B had finished chemotherapy without gross evidence of disease recurrence.
Microbial O2 consumption as a function of pore structure in soils of sorghum, switchgrass, and prairie vegetation systems
Authors: Chakraborty Poulamee , Guber Andrey , Kravchenko Alexandra 
Published: February 2025

AbstractMicroscale O2 availability in soil, a main factor influencing microbial processing of soil carbon and nitrogen, is a function of O2 diffusion and microbial O2 consumption. While O2 diffusivity is widely studied, it is difficult to quantify the rate of microbial O2 consumption (MO). In this study, we quantified the MO using O2 microsensor profiling to compare MO in different soils and vegetation systems while manipulating the soil pore structure. Soil samples were collected from three bioenergy vegetation systems, sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), and prairie, at an experimental site in Southeast Michigan, and from switchgrass and prairie systems at two sites in South and North Wisconsin. We prepared soil cores with two contrasting pore structures, that is, large (>30 µm Ø) pore‐dominated soil (LP) and small (<10 µm Ø) pore‐dominated soil (SP), from the same 1‐ to 2‐mm soil size fraction. We quantified MO (nmol O2 cm−3 s−1) using a microprofiler with an oxygen (OX‐100 µm) microsensor (Unisense) pre‐ and post‐38‐day incubation. Across all studied systems, there was a trend for a decrease in SP MO post‐incubation, suggesting a change in microbial metabolism to lower O2 utilization. However, sizeable microbial O2 consumption continued in the LP soils, further corroborated by a positive correlation between the C‐CO2 emission rate and the post‐incubation MO, highlighting that LP provided a better physical microenvironment for the soil microbes.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundStrangulation and hanging injuries are a common form of self‐inflicted harm. The incidence of associated blunt cerebrovascular injury and its correlation with clinical findings remains unclear. Furthermore, the decision to image and the choice of imaging remains unresolved.MethodsA multicenter retrospective review of a prospectively collected database was performed of all patients who presented with a hanging or strangulation injury. All patients underwent a CT angiogram. Inferential and descriptive statistics were performed. Patient demographics, clinical data, laboratory results, and imaging findings were reviewed.ResultsOver an 11‐year period (2013–2023), 194 patients presented with hanging or strangulation type injuries. The median age was 28.7 years, and 24% were female. All patients underwent a CT angiogram with only 9 patients (4.6%) having a positive finding. There was no correlation between positive findings on CT angiogram and any clinical or laboratory finding. The in‐hospital mortality rate was 1%, none of whom had an associated vascular injury.ConclusionThe incidence of vascular injury in strangulation or hanging injuries is 4.6%. In light of the reported incidence of stroke in blunt carotid injury (23%–30%) when left untreated, it is imperative that these injuries are found and treated. Based on the above data, there are no clinical or lab indicators (or combination thereof) that can be safely used to exclude an injury and avoid imaging. Thus, is it advised that all patients are imaged with a CT angiogram.
Conclusion and a Possible Displaced Postdevelopmentalism
Authors: Lenz Taguchi Hillevi , Bodén Linnea 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The conclusion of the book grapples with the question of whether or not a natureculture coconstitutive approach to postdevelopmentalism is possible. What might such a postdevelopmentalism entail, and how might it be characterized when enacted as an inter- or transdisciplinary collaborative inquiry on, to, with, for, and/or by young children? We discuss some ways in which the concept of postdevelopmentalism can be displaced. We then introduce a slow science approach to collaborative inquiry and patchy epistemic piling practices and show how these can be connected to the Enhancing Children’s Attention (ECA) project. To conclude, the chapter discusses what happened after the ECA project and summarizes what can be learned in line with a displaced natureculture coconstitutive postdevelopmentalist approach.
Innovation Shifts: Moving Towards a Sustainable System of Design Adoption in the Thai Government
Authors: Virangkabutra Pisate 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Design thinking is a term and method widely used in the design industry. Due to its human-centered approach and the versatility of the process, many disciplines and sectors outside of those traditionally labelled as the design industry have adopted the methodology as the front end of their working process to create direction and a more targeted approach to product, service and policy development. One example is the Thai public sector. This article investigates the use of design from five government organizations, with a particular focus on design thinking and service design as an innovation and working tool and the adaptation of the “design ethos”—design principles that characterize the designer’s culture in practice for the public sector in Thailand. It uses the theoretical framework of the four-design typology to explain the state of design adoption in the public sector. The four domains are (i) design as output, (ii) design as capacity building, (iii) design as culture, and (iv) design as core value. These four domains of “design as” are explained with case studies that are related to Thailand, followed by a section on how to improve design adoption, and concluded with the three innovation shift suggestions, which are hierarchical to collaborating shift, administrating to innovating shift, and peripheral to structural shift.
Four Levels of Service Design, “Interaction, Function, Organization, and Social Transition”: Cases of the Agrifood System in China
Authors: Zhong Fang 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
With the development of China’s service economy, service design has attracted increasing attention, and professional design institutions regard it as the direction of innovation. However, there is an obvious gap between the application of service design in industry and the academic research of service design. In this paper, service design is analyzed on four different levels: (1) the micro-level, or the interaction/user experience design; (2) the meso-level, or the inward functional design; (3) outward organizational design; and (4) the macro-level social transition design, aimed at changing the environment in which service organizations are located. This paper describes the present situation of service design in China’s agrifood system and discusses both the current opportunities and challenges of service design at these four levels.
