Published: December 2023

AbstractHigh-entropy catalysts featuring exceptional properties are, in no doubt, playing an increasingly significant role in aprotic lithium-oxygen batteries. Despite extensive effort devoted to tracing the origin of their unparalleled performance, the relationships between multiple active sites and reaction intermediates are still obscure. Here, enlightened by theoretical screening, we tailor a high-entropy perovskite fluoride (KCoMnNiMgZnF3-HEC) with various active sites to overcome the limitations of conventional catalysts in redox process. The entropy effect modulates the d-band center and d orbital occupancy of active centers, which optimizes the d–p hybridization between catalytic sites and key intermediates, enabling a moderate adsorption of LiO2 and thus reinforcing the reaction kinetics. As a result, the Li–O2 battery with KCoMnNiMgZnF3-HEC catalyst delivers a minimal discharge/charge polarization and long-term cycle stability, preceding majority of traditional catalysts reported. These encouraging results provide inspiring insights into the electron manipulation and d orbital structure optimization for advanced electrocatalyst.

Published: December 2023

AbstractInterfacial water molecules are the most important participants in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Hence, understanding the behavior and role that interfacial water plays will ultimately reveal the HER mechanism. Unfortunately, investigating interfacial water is extremely challenging owing to the interference caused by bulk water molecules and complexity of the interfacial environment. Here, the behaviors of interfacial water in different cationic electrolytes on Pd surfaces were investigated by the electrochemistry, in situ core–shell nanostructure enhanced Raman spectroscopy and theoretical simulation techniques. Direct spectral evidence reveals a red shift in the frequency and a decrease in the intensity of interfacial water as the potential is shifted in the positively direction. When comparing the different cation electrolyte systems at a given potential, the frequency of the interfacial water peak increases in the specified order: Li+  < Na+  < K+  < Ca2+  < Sr2+. The structure of interfacial water was optimized by adjusting the radius, valence, and concentration of cation to form the two-H down structure. This unique interfacial water structure will improve the charge transfer efficiency between the water and electrode further enhancing the HER performance. Therefore, local cation tuning strategies can be used to improve the HER performance by optimizing the interfacial water structure.

Abstract
The severe dependence of traditional phase change materials (PCMs) on the temperature-response and lattice deficiencies in versatility cannot satisfy demand for using such materials in complex application scenarios. Here, we introduced metal ions to induce the self-assembly of MXene nanosheets and achieve their ordered arrangement by combining suction filtration and rapid freezing. Subsequently, a series of MXene/ K+/paraffin wax (PW) phase change composites (PCCs) were obtained via vacuum impregnation in molten PW. The prepared MXene-based PCCs showed versatile applications from macroscale technologies, successfully transforming solar, electric, and magnetic energy into thermal energy stored as latent heat in the PCCs. Moreover, due to the absence of binder in the MXene-based aerogel, MK3@PW exhibits a prime solar–thermal conversion efficiency (98.4%). Notably, MK3@PW can further convert the collected heat energy into electric energy through thermoelectric equipment and realize favorable solar–thermal–electric conversion (producing 206 mV of voltage with light radiation intensity of 200 mw cm−2). An excellent Joule heat performance (reaching 105 °C with an input voltage of 2.5 V) and responsive magnetic–thermal conversion behavior (a charging time of 11.8 s can achieve a thermal insulation effect of 285 s) for contactless thermotherapy were also demonstrated by the MK3@PW. Specifically, as a result of the ordered arrangement of MXene nanosheet self-assembly induced by potassium ions, MK3@PW PCC exhibits a higher electromagnetic shielding efficiency value (57.7 dB) than pure MXene aerogel/PW PCC (29.8 dB) with the same MXene mass. This work presents an opportunity for the multi-scene response and practical application of PCMs that satisfy demand of next-generation multifunctional PCCs.
Purpose-driven oral examination: insights from doctoral viva examiners
Authors: Tan Wee Chun 
Published: December 2023

AbstractDespite the importance of the PhD viva in assessing the quality of doctoral research, how examiners approach the PhD viva remains underexplored in the Global South. This study fills this gap by investigating the conceptions of doctoral examiners in Malaysia, shedding light on how they approach the PhD viva and what they believe its key purposes are. Through qualitative thematic analysis of interviews with twelve examiners, this study reveals that examiners place a significant emphasis on the quality of the research thesis, empower candidates to demonstrate mastery of the research subject, initiate dialogue for research engagement, and foster socialisation within the disciplinary community. The study contributes to the conceptualisation of the purposes of the PhD viva, encompassing gatekeeping, empowerment, dialogue, and enculturation, which can provide valuable guidance for examiner practices. The implications of these findings are discussed, highlighting the facilitative role of examiners in the examination process.

Published: December 2023

AbstractMetal cultural relics are witnesses to the development of human history and civilization, containing rich value and connotation. Metal cultural relics have existed in the natural environment for hundreds and thousands of years and are facing severe corrosion problems, urgently requiring protection. Cleaning is the primary task of protection for metal cultural relics. Laser cleaning technology has attracted the interest of cultural relics scholars because of non-abrasive, non-contact, high efficiency and applicability to various materials. In order to enhance the understanding and application of laser cleaning technology on metal cultural relics, this paper provides a comprehensive review of the research advancements regarding the history and mechanism of laser cleaning technology, the corrosion mechanism of different metal cultural relics (copper relics, iron relics, silver relics, gold relics), as well as the application achievements of laser cleaning for metal cultural relics. The present study discusses the key problems and the development prospects of laser cleaning technology of metal cultural relics. Ultimately, the article will provide new ideas for the research and practice for the cleaning and protection of metal cultural relics.
Persistence and the Sheaf-Function Correspondence
Authors: Berkouk Nicolas 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The sheaf-function correspondence identifies the group of constructible functions on a real analytic manifold M with the Grothendieck group of constructible sheaves on M. When M is a finite dimensional real vector space, Kashiwara-Schapira have recently introduced the convolution distance between sheaves of

$\mathbf {k}$

-vector spaces on M. In this paper, we characterize distances on the group of constructible functions on a real finite dimensional vector space that can be controlled by the convolution distance through the sheaf-function correspondence. Our main result asserts that such distances are almost trivial: they vanish as soon as two constructible functions have the same Euler integral. We formulate consequences of our result for Topological Data Analysis: there cannot exist nontrivial additive invariants of persistence modules that are continuous for the interleaving distance.

Published: December 2023

AbstractWe investigate the reengineeering of interbank networks with a specific focus on capital increase. We consider a scenario where all other components of the network’s infrastructure remain stable (a practical assumption for short-term situations). Our objective is to assess the impact of raising capital on the network’s robustness and to address the following key aspects. First, given a predefined target for network robustness, our aim is to achieve this goal optimally, minimizing the required capital increase. Second, in cases where a total capital increase has been determined, the central challenge lies in distributing this increase among the banks in a manner that maximizes the stability of the network. To tackle these challenges, we begin by developing a comprehensive theoretical framework. Subsequently, we formulate an optimization model for the network’s redesign. Finally, we apply this framework to practical examples, highlighting its applicability in real-world scenarios.

AbstractSchistosomiasis, a parasite infectious disease caused by Schistosoma japonicum, often leads to egg granuloma and fibrosis due to the inflammatory reaction triggered by egg antigens released in the host liver. This study focuses on the role of the egg antigens CP1412 protein of S. japonicum (SjCP1412) with RNase activity in promoting liver fibrosis. In this study, the recombinant egg ribonuclease SjCP1412, which had RNase activity, was successfully prepared. By analysing the serum of the population, it has been proven that the anti-SjCP1412 IgG in the serum of patients with advanced schistosomiasis was moderately correlated with liver fibrosis, and SjCP1412 may be an important antigen associated with liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis. In vitro, the rSjCP1412 protein induced the human liver cancer cell line Hep G2 and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells apoptosis and necrosis and the release of proinflammatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). In mice infected with schistosomes, rSjCP1412 immunization or antibody neutralization of SjCP1412 activity significantly reduced cell apoptosis and necroptosis in liver tissue, thereby reducing inflammation and liver fibrosis. In summary, the SjCP1412 protein plays a crucial role in promoting liver fibrosis during schistosomiasis through mediating the liver cells apoptosis and necroptosis to release DAMPs inducing an inflammatory reaction. Blocking SjCP1412 activity could inhibit its proapoptotic and necrotic effects and alleviate hepatic fibrosis. These findings suggest that SjCP1412 may be served as a promising drug target for managing liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis japonica.
Rethinking pedagogic identities for Key Stage 3 general classroom music teacher education: an autoethnographic study
Authors: Axtell Ian James 
Published: December 2023

AbstractMy role as a university-based, general classroom music teacher educator in England has become unclear, exacerbated by policies that have undermined the field of classroom music in schools and the role of universities in teacher education. Using self-critical inquiry enacted as critically reflexive autoethnography, I interrogated my professional practice to rethink my pedagogic identity. Theoretical perspectives, drawn from Bernstein and Bourdieu, were used to chart my shifting identity. This paper introduces a theorised model to illustrate a range of pedagogic identities for Key Stage 3 (KS3) general classroom music teacher education.
Effects of Wind Shear and Aerosol Conditions on the Organization of Precipitating Marine Stratocumulus Clouds
Authors: Jeong Jong‐Hoon , Witte Mikael K. , Smalley Mark 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study examines how wind shear affects precipitating marine stratocumulus clouds under different cloud droplet number concentrations (Nd). We performed a series of large eddy simulations (LES) of nocturnal marine stratocumulus clouds using Cloud Model 1 (CM1). The simulations show that Nd is the dominant factor for cloud cellular organization in this cloud regime rather than wind shear. Low Nd characterizes the open cellular structure with a high in‐cloud liquid water path (LWP). When wind shear is increased, the cloud fraction tends to decrease along with LWP, suggesting the cloud top region is significantly influenced by the entrainment and mixing of dry air from the free troposphere. We also examine cold pools in open and closed cellular clouds. Open‐cell clouds produce larger and deeper cold pools compared to closed‐cell clouds. Interestingly, cold pools can exist without surface precipitation and are produced by evaporation of light precipitation (drizzle) below the cloud base with weak downdrafts. The evaporation of raindrops and drizzle play an important role in initiating new convection, particularly where colliding outflows occur downstream of the cloud. This secondary convection contributes to the development and maintenance of the cloud cellular organization and formation.
Event‐Based Recession Analysis for Estimation of Basin‐Wide Characteristic Drainage Timescale and Groundwater Storage Trends
Authors: Hameed Mehvish , Nayak Munir Ahmad , Ahanger Manzoor Ahmad 
Published: December 2023

AbstractIn the absence of precipitation or any other recharge source, baseflow sustains natural surface water bodies like streams and rivers. It also indicates the quality and quantity of storage in the aquifers underlying the basin. Thus, identifying and extracting baseflow is critical for most hydrological studies, for example, estimating water budget, watershed characteristics, and groundwater surface‐water interactions. Most approaches for baseflow separation are based on recession hydrographs obtained solely from streamflow observations. A few studies have used the absence of precipitation as a filter for extracting baseflows for recession analysis, but not for estimating changes in groundwater storage. We demonstrate that an accurate estimation of drainage characteristic recession timescale 𝐾 for a linear storage‐discharge relationship should be based on carefully selected individual baseflow events extracted from streamflow observations complemented with precipitation observations. The drainage/recession timescale varies with time, even for a single basin, and hence, should not be generalized to a specific range for a wide range of basins. Estimations of groundwater storage trends and aquifer characteristics from streamflow and lumped analysis can be misleading. Event‐based recession analysis yields large variations in characteristic drainage timescales for a given catchment, which appears a more realistic representation of basin‐wide aquifer characteristics that are known to vary with antecedent climate. In the Rock River basin, we find contrasting trends in the estimated groundwater storages in two selected periods, which are then attributed to the contrasting trends in annual rainfall and evapotranspiration. The approach presented here would be beneficial in investigating aquifer characteristics and storage trends.

Published: December 2023

Objective: Abdominal pain-related disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBIs) in children are best understood from a biopsychosocial model, including particular attention to the child’s environment. Interventions have begun to increasingly target parents as important agents of change in this population. The purpose of this article is to summarize the evolution of parent-targeted interventions for pediatric pain-related DGBIs and provide recommendations for application of the model to clinical practice. Method: A topical review of literature regarding parent-targeted interventions and related factors in the treatment of pediatric pain-related DGBIs was conducted, followed by a discussion of these findings to clinical practice settings. Results: A growing body of research has supported parent-targeted interventions in the treatment of pediatric pain-related DGBIs, although translation of these findings to practice settings is complicated by numerous factors. Strategies for obtaining physician buy-in and parental engagement are discussed, as are potential logistical considerations of multiple caregivers, child age, and billing considerations. Conclusions: There is a promising and growing evidence-base for parent-targeted interventions for pain-related DGBIs, which have not yet been widely adopted into clinical practice recommendations. Engaging all stakeholders and attending to the nuances of this approach are recommended to successfully apply parent-targeted interventions into clinical practice settings. Implications for Impact Statement The role of parents in treating children with pain-related disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBIs) has been an increasing area of study. This article summarizes the research on interventions for DGBIs that focus on parents as agents of change and provides practical considerations for applying this research to clinical, “real-world” settings.

AbstractAcute infection and chronic infection are the two most common fates of pathogenic virus infections. While several factors that contribute to these fates are described, the critical control points and the mechanisms that underlie infection fate regulation are incompletely understood. Using the acute and chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection model of mice, we find that the early dynamic pattern of the IFN-I response is a differentiating trait between both infection fates. Acute-infected mice generate a 2-wave IFN-I response while chronic-infected mice generate only a 1-wave response. The underlying cause is a temporal difference in CD8 T cell-mediated killing of splenic marginal zone CD169+ macrophages. It occurs later in acute infection and thus enables CD169+ marginal zone macrophages to produce the 2nd IFN-I wave. This is required for subsequent immune events including induction of inflammatory macrophages, generation of effector CD8+ T cells and virus clearance. Importantly, these benefits come at a cost for the host in the form of spleen fibrosis. Due to an earlier marginal zone destruction, these ordered immune events are deregulated in chronic infection. Our findings demonstrate the critical importance of kinetically well-coordinated sequential immune events for acute infection control and highlights that it may come at a cost for the host organism.

AbstractProtein complexes are highly dynamic entities that display substantial diversity in their assembly, post-translational modifications, and non-covalent interactions, allowing them to play critical roles in various biological processes. The heterogeneity, dynamic nature, and low abundance of protein complexes in their native states present challenges to study using conventional structural biology techniques. Here we develop a native nanoproteomics strategy for the enrichment and subsequent native top-down mass spectrometry (nTDMS) analysis of endogenous cardiac troponin (cTn) complex directly from human heart tissue. The cTn complex is enriched and purified using peptide-functionalized superparamagnetic nanoparticles under non-denaturing conditions to enable the isotopic resolution of cTn complex, revealing their complex structure and assembly. Moreover, nTDMS elucidates the stoichiometry and composition of the cTn complex, localizes Ca2+ binding domains, defines cTn-Ca2+ binding dynamics, and provides high-resolution mapping of the proteoform landscape. This native nanoproteomics strategy opens a paradigm for structural characterization of endogenous native protein complexes.

AbstractDeveloping synchronous bilateral Wilms tumor suggests an underlying (epi)genetic predisposition. Here, we evaluate this predisposition in 68 patients using whole exome or genome sequencing (n = 85 tumors from 61 patients with matched germline blood DNA), RNA-seq (n = 99 tumors), and DNA methylation analysis (n = 61 peripheral blood, n = 29 non-diseased kidney, n = 99 tumors). We determine the predominant events for bilateral Wilms tumor predisposition: 1)pre-zygotic germline genetic variants readily detectable in blood DNA [WT1 (14.8%), NYNRIN (6.6%), TRIM28 (5%), and BRCA-related genes (5%)] or 2)post-zygotic epigenetic hypermethylation at 11p15.5 H19/ICR1 that may require analysis of multiple tissue types for diagnosis. Of 99 total tumor specimens, 16 (16.1%) have 11p15.5 normal retention of imprinting, 25 (25.2%) have 11p15.5 copy neutral loss of heterozygosity, and 58 (58.6%) have 11p15.5 H19/ICR1 epigenetic hypermethylation (loss of imprinting). Here, we ascertain the epigenetic and genetic modes of bilateral Wilms tumor predisposition.
