AbstractPurposeDiagnosing Renal artery stenosis (RAS) presents challenges. This research aimed to develop a deep learning model for the computer‐aided diagnosis of RAS, utilizing multimodal fusion technology based on ultrasound scanning images, spectral waveforms, and clinical information.MethodsA total of 1485 patients received renal artery ultrasonography from Peking Union Medical College Hospital were included and their color doppler sonography (CDS) images were classified according to anatomical site and left‐right orientation. The RAS diagnosis was modeled as a process involving feature extraction and multimodal fusion. Three deep learning (DL) models (ResNeSt, ResNet, and XCiT) were trained on a multimodal dataset consisted of CDS images, spectrum waveform images, and individual basic information. Predicted performance of different models were compared with senior physician and evaluated on a test dataset (N = 117 patients) with renal artery angiography results.ResultsSample sizes of training and validation datasets were 3292 and 169 respectively. On test data (N = 676 samples), predicted accuracies of three DL models were more than 80% and the ResNeSt achieved the accuracy 83.49% ± 0.45%, precision 81.89% ± 3.00%, and recall 76.97% ± 3.7%. There was no significant difference between the accuracy of ResNeSt and ResNet (82.84% ± 1.52%), and the ResNeSt was higher than the XCiT (80.71% ± 2.23%, p < 0.05). Compared to the gold standard, renal artery angiography, the accuracy of ResNest model was 78.25% ± 1.62%, which was inferior to the senior physician (90.09%). Besides, compared to the multimodal fusion model, the performance of single‐modal model on spectrum waveform images was relatively lower.ConclusionThe DL multimodal fusion model shows promising results in assisting RAS diagnosis.

AbstractThis study investigated the influence of cognitive interference on the detectability of concealed information in a reaction time (RT)‐based concealed information test (CIT). The classical RT‐based CIT was modified to interfere with response preparation, hypothesizing that this interference would enhance detection efficiency. A total of 120 participants were randomly assigned as “guilty” or “innocent” and were instructed to deny any knowledge related to a mock crime. The results revealed that guilty participants exhibited significantly longer RTs for probes than for irrelevant stimuli in both the classical and modified‐CIT conditions (aka CIT effect). In contrast, innocent participants showed no difference in RTs between the probe and irrelevant stimuli under either condition. Furthermore, the modified‐CIT yielded significantly higher detection efficiency than the classical‐CIT. These findings signify promising advancements in the application of cognitive interventions in deception detection methodologies.

Published: February 2024

AbstractAqueous zinc‐ion batteries have been regarded as safe and cheap energy storage devices. However, severe zinc dendrite growth and water decomposition limit the sustainability of aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Herein, sodium‐difluoro(oxalato)borate (NaDFOB) is introduced into ZnSO4 electrolyte to modify the electric double layer (EDL) and the nucleation mechanism. Electrochemical tests and density functional theory calculations reveal that DFOB− adsorbs on the zinc electrode to form a water‐poor EDL, effectively suppressing side reactions. Notably, a detailed investigation of zinc deposition demonstrates that the adsorbed DFOB− ions induce progressive nucleation, resulting in nanoscale zinc nuclei and uniform zinc growth. Additionally, the adsorbed DFOB− ions decompose into a solid electrolyte interphase, further protecting the zinc electrode. Consequently, the Zn/Zn symmetric cell using ZnSO4/NaDFOB electrolyte can cycle for over 500 h at 5 mA cm−2 to reach a capacity of 10 mAh cm−2, while a Zn/Cu half cell maintains an average Coulombic efficiency of 99.3% over 400 cycles. A high capacity retention of 93.0% with a capacity of 250 mAh g−1 at 0.2 A g−1 is achieved in the ZnSO4/NaDFOB electrolyte in full cell cycling. These findings highlight the impact of anion‐modified EDL and progressive nucleation on achieving highly uniform zinc deposition.

Published: February 2024

AbstractDespite the recent developments in hydrochromic materials, visual detection of water level in plastic materials without sacrificing mechanical properties remains a meaningful yet challenging topic. Currently, to optimize the sensitivity, hydrochromic agents are usually incorporated into hygroscopic matrixes to form bulk solids, which have restricted compatibility for the direct application inside other polymer materials. In this study, this challenge is tackled by nanoscale incorporation of hydrochromic agent into a hygroscopic polymer by miniemulsion polymerization. The obtained hydrochromic nanocapsule has an average diameter ≈110 nm, shows reversible hydrochromic property after 10 cycles, and can offer the first directly eye‐readable signal about the real time in situ water level in plastic materials with a water level below 4 wt.%, while achieving a 214% enhancement of the toughness at the same time. Comprehensive researches by investigating the composition and viscoelastic transition of the nanocapsules has shed light on the mechanisms concerning hydrochromic sensitivity and toughening effect. This simple methodology not only offers a new route for the nanoscale incorporation and application of different hydrochromic materials, but also inspires the development of smart nanoparticles with other stimuli‐responsive functionalities. All these aspects should render this work interesting for both scientific researches and engineering practices.

Published: February 2024

AbstractMulti‐dimensional multiplexed metasurface holography extends holographic information capacity and promises revolutionary advancements for vivid imaging, information storage, and encryption. However, achieving multifunctional metasurface holography by forward design method is still difficult because it relies heavily on Jones matrix engineering, which places high demands on physical knowledge and processing technology. To break these limitations and simplify the design process, here, an end‐to‐end inverse design framework is proposed. By directly linking the metasurface to the reconstructed images and employing a loss function to guide the update of metasurface, the calculation of hologram can be omitted; thus, greatly simplifying the design process. In addition, the requirements on the completeness of meta‐library can also be significantly reduced, allowing multi‐channel hologram to be achieved using meta‐atoms with only two degrees of freedom, which is very friendly to processing. By exploiting the proposed method, metasurface hologram containing up to 12 channels of multi‐wavelength, multi‐plane, and multi‐polarization is designed and experimentally demonstrated, which exhibits the state‐of‐the‐art information multiplexing capacity of the metasurface composed of simple meta‐atoms. This method is conducive to promoting the intelligent design of multifunctional meta‐devices, and it is expected to eventually accelerate the application of meta‐devices in colorful display, imaging, storage and other fields.

AbstractThe development of low‐cost and high‐performance iron (Fe)‐based anode materials is of great significance for rechargeable aqueous batteries. Herein, a FeS@Fe foam anode with crosslinked nanoflake array structure is fabricated. Being adopted as alkaline anode, FeS@Fe foam delivers enhanced areal capacity of 31.1 mAh cm−2 (at 50 mA cm−2), which is ≈1.5 times that of the‐state‐of‐the‐art literatures. The scaled‐up tests further reveal the higher capacity (800.7 mAh) and current density (1.25 A) with the area of 25 cm2. The FeS@Fe foam anode sustains intact after 270‐day cycles, demonstrating excellent durability. The assembled FeS//NiO single battery provides a superior areal energy density of 300.7 Wh m−2 at 500 W m−2. The reaction mechanism and electrode kinetics are revealed by combining in/ex situ techniques and DFT calculations. Experimental results and in/ex situ characterizations validate that excellent structural stability and high areal capacity are attributed to effective interface regulation and improved energy storage mechanism, respectively. This work pushes the advanced Fe‐based electrode to a superior level among these available alkaline solid‐state batteries.

AbstractBackgroundThere are two methods of Roux‐en‐Y (RY) reconstruction after gastrectomy: the antecolic route (ACR) and retrocolic route (RCR). There is no evidence to support that the ACR achieves comparable long‐term survival.MethodsThis was a multi‐center historical cohort study. Patients diagnosed with clinical T3/4a and any N stage who underwent open gastrectomy and R0 resection for gastric adenocarcinoma between January 2006 and December 2012 were enrolled. The primary outcome was the hazard ratio of ACR for overall survival, with adjustment for confounding factors by propensity score matching, and a Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsA total of 1758 eligible patients were identified from the database. After matching, 410 patients in the ACR and RCR groups were included in the final analysis. The adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) for ACR was 1.148 (0.870–1.492). The five‐year survival rates in the ACR and RCR groups were 74.3% (69.5–78.4) and 77.3% (72.3–81.2), respectively. The short‐term surgical outcomes of the two groups did not differ to a statistically significant extent.ConclusionThe route used to lift the jejunum in RY reconstruction did not affect the incidence of long‐term survival or postoperative complications. The ACR and RCR are both acceptable options for RY reconstruction during gastric cancer surgery.

AbstractThe wide range of clinical symptoms observed in patients with Fabry disease (FD) often leads to delays in diagnosis and initiation of treatment. Delayed initiation of therapy may result in end‐organ damage, such as chronic renal failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and stroke. Although some tools are available to identify undiagnosed patients, new comprehensive screening methods are needed. In this study, the outcomes of the cascade screening applied to three index cases with FD from 2 familes were investigated. In the pedigree analysis, 280 individuals were included; out of them, 131 individuals underwent genetic testing and cascade screening for FD. During the screening program, a total of 45 individuals were diagnosed, with a diagnostic ratio of 1:15. The average age at diagnosis for all individuals was 30.9 ± 17.7 years, and %25 were pediatric cases (mean age 9.5 ± 5.9 years). Thirty affected relatives were diagnosed from the two index cases in Family 1 and 15 individuals were diagnosed from one index case in Family 2. There were 13 consanguineous marriages observed among 2 pedigres, in two both spouses were affected, leading to two homozygous affected daughters in one couple. In regions where there is a high prevalence of consanguineous marriages, implementing the cascade screening approach to identify all individuals at risk can be beneficial for patients with FD, specifically women and children.

AbstractBackgroundPatients with sinonasal malignancy (SNM) present with significant sinonasal quality of life (QOL) impairment. Global sinonasal QOL as measured by the 22‐item Sinonasal Outcomes Test (SNOT‐22) has been shown to improve with treatment. This study aims to characterize SNOT‐22 subdomain outcomes in SNM.MethodsPatients diagnosed with SNM were prospectively enrolled in a multi‐center patient registry. SNOT‐22 scores were collected at the time of diagnosis and through the post‐treatment period for up to 5 years. Multivariable regression analysis was used to identify drivers of variation in SNOT‐22 subdomains.ResultsNote that 234 patients were reviewed, with a mean follow‐up of 22 months (3 months–64 months). Rhinologic, psychological, and sleep subdomains significantly improved versus baseline (all p < 0.05). Subanalysis of 40 patients with follow‐up at all timepoints showed statistically significant improvement in rhinologic, extra‐nasal, psychological, and sleep subdomains, with minimal clinically important difference met between 2 and 5 years in sleep and psychological subdomains. Adjuvant chemoradiation was associated with worse outcomes in rhinologic (adjusted odds ratio (5.22 [1.69–8.66])), extra‐nasal (2.21 [0.22–4.17]) and ear/facial (5.53 [2.10–8.91]) subdomains. Pterygopalatine fossa involvement was associated with worse outcomes in rhinologic (3.22 [0.54–5.93]) and ear/facial (2.97 [0.32–5.65]) subdomains. Positive margins (5.74 [2.17–9.29]) and surgical approach—combined versus endoscopic (3.41 [0.78–6.05])—were associated with worse psychological outcomes. Adjuvant radiation (2.28 [0.18–4.40]) was associated with worse sleep outcomes.ConclusionsSinonasal QOL improvements associated with treatment of SNM are driven by rhinologic, extra‐nasal, psychological, and sleep subdomains.
Transpassive Metal Dissolution vs. Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Implication for Alloy Stability and Electrocatalysis

Published: February 2024

AbstractMulti‐principal element alloys (MPEAs) are gaining interest in corrosion and electrocatalysis research due to their electrochemical stability across a broad pH range and the design flexibility they offer. Using the equimolar CrCoNi alloy, we observe significant metal dissolution in a corrosive electrolyte (0.1 M NaCl, pH 2) concurrently with the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the transpassive region, despite the absence of hysteresis in polarization curves or other obvious corrosion indicators. We present a characterization scheme to delineate the contribution of OER and alloy dissolution, using scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) for OER‐onset detection, and quantitative chemical analysis with inductively coupled‐mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) and ultraviolet visible light (UV/Vis) spectrometry to elucidate metal dissolution processes. In situ electrochemical atomic force microscopy (EC‐AFM) revealed that the transpassive metal dissolution on CrCoNi is dominated by intergranular corrosion. These results have significant implications for the stability of MPEAs in corrosion systems, emphasizing the necessity of analytically determining metal ions released from MPEA electrodes into the electrolyte when evaluating Faradaic efficiencies of OER catalysts. The release of transition metal ions not only reduces the Faradaic efficiency of electrolyzers but may also cause poisoning and degradation of membranes in electrochemical reactors.

Published: February 2024

AbstractTotal syntheses of borolithochromes A, D and G, red pigments isolated from fossils of Jurassic putative red alga Solenopora jurassica, have been achieved. The benzo[gh]tetraphene skeletons of the borate ligands in these substances were constructed using Diels–Alder reactions of aryl dienes with naphthoquinone, followed by intramolecular Corey–Chaykovsky reactions. Complexation of these ligands with trimethyl borate generated homocomplexes, which upon sequential O‐demethylation produced borolithochromes A and G. In the route to borolithochrome D, a heterocomplex was prepared by stepwise complexation of the ligands with 2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl dimethyl borate. The strategy devised to accomplish the first total synthesis of borolithochromes A, D and G should be applicable to the preparation of other borolithochromes as well as spiroborates possessing two fused polycyclic aromatic ligands.
Template Assisted One‐Pot Synthesis of [2], Linear [3], and Radial [4]Catenane via Click Reaction

Published: February 2024

AbstractDesign and synthesis of higher order catenane are unexpectedly complex and involve precise cooperation among the precursors overcoming competing and opposing interactions. We achieved synthesis of [2], linear [3], radial [4] in a one‐pot reaction by consecutive ring closing through click reactions. This synthesis gave three isolable products due to two, four, and six‐click reactions between suitable coupling partners. Yields of the isolate templated‐catenane decrease from lower to higher‐ordered catenane (40 %, 12 %, and 4 %), probably due to the bite angle as well as the flexibility of the reacting partners. Removal of templating cobalt(III) ion leads to the formation of fully organic [2], linear [3], and radial [4]catenane. These synthesized catenanes were purified by column chromatography and characterized by 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, and ESI‐MS spectroscopy. The synthesized catenanes have free binding sites suitable for post‐functionalization and may be used for the synthesis of higher‐ordered catenane.
Event‐triggered disturbance rejection control for Markov jump systems: A GA‐optimized approach
Authors: Zhang Xiang , Cheng Peng , Chen Hongtian , Zhang Weidong 
Published: February 2024

AbstractThis paper investigates the event‐triggered disturbance rejection control problem for discrete‐time Markov jump systems by means of genetic algorithms. Firstly, an extended state observer is developed to estimate the system states and disturbances and construct the event‐triggered disturbance rejection controller. With resort to Lyapunov theory, the uniform ultimate boundedness of both estimated errors and states is guaranteed. The disturbance rejection performance is also analyzed. The genetic algorithm is adopted to avoid conservatism in solving the given nonlinear conditions and achieve a meaningful optimization arising from realizing better system performance. The designed approach not only realizes a trade‐off between the bounds of estimated errors and states but also rejects the disturbance. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
A novel adaptive neural predefined time control for a class of nonlinear systems

Published: February 2024

AbstractIn this article, a novel adaptive neural predefined time control scheme is designed for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. In the design procedure, the unknown smooth nonlinear functions are approximated by the neural networks (NNs). A neural adaptive predefined time controller is proposed based on NNs, adaptive backstepping technology, and predefined time stability theory. The designed control strategy includes a new adaptive updating law which ensures that the derivative of the Lyapunov function satisfies the predefined time stable form. The proposed control scheme ensures that all the signals in the closed‐loop system are predefined time stability. A practical simulation example validates the effectiveness of the designed controller.

Published: February 2024

AbstractDieser Aufsatz befasst sich mit einer verformungsbasierten Bemessung im Holzbau gegenüber Erdbebeneinwirkungen. Nachdem die normativ geregelten Berechnungsverfahren kurz erläutert werden, werden zwei unterschiedliche Modelle beschrieben, mit denen das nichtlineare Verhalten aussteifender Wandtafeln für die Anwendung in einer verformungsbasierten Berechnung prognostiziert werden kann. Alternativ zum Vorschlag im aktuellen Entwurf des Eurocode 8 wird ein eigener Ansatz vorgestellt. Anhand von einzelnen Wandtafeln werden die Prognosemodelle verglichen und die Unterschiede aufgezeigt. Anschließend werden an einem zwei‐ und viergeschossigen Referenzgebäude unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Ausführungskonfigurationen der aussteifenden Wände verformungsbasierte Bemessungen durchgeführt. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass sich eine verformungsbasierte Bemessung sehr robust gegenüber Veränderungen bei den Prognosemodellen verhält und ein hohes Potenzial vorhanden ist, mögliche Reserven in einer Struktur zu aktivieren.
