Published: December 2023

A field experiment comprised of treatments comprising 14 crop sequences were conducted to study the effect of crop diversification in rice (Oryza sativa)–wheat (Triticum aestivum) cropping system on system productivity, economics and soil health. The results revealed that overall productivity of the system in terms of system rice grain equivalent yield was noticed significantly highest in rice-potato-blackgram (28.88 tonnes/ha/yr) compared to rest of the cropping sequences, followed by rice–maize (cob) + veg. pea (1:2) – greengram cropping sequence (25.67 tonnes/ha/yr). In addition to that inclusion of legumes either as green manure crop or grain/fodder legume proved crucial in maintenance of soil bio-physico-chemical properties of the soil. Therefore, diversification of rice–wheat system under irrigated condition by inclusion of moong crop after potato or wheat could enhance the overall productivity and profitability of the farm, besides improving the soil sustainability on long term basis.

Context.—
Biomarkers in breast cancer need strict monitoring given their role in patient management.

Objective.—
To study the impact that regular participation in the National Cancer Grid (NCG) external quality assurance (EQA) system has on concordance rates for biomarkers in breast carcinoma.

Design.—
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) containing breast carcinomas were circulated to participating laboratories that performed immunohistochemistry for breast biomarkers. The returned TMAs were then assessed for test concordance.

Results.—
A total of 105 laboratories participated in the estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) EQA system cycles, and 99 centers participated in the human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2) EQA system. In the ER EQA in the first cycle only 1 laboratory had a 100% concordance rate, which improved to 59 of 77 (76.6%) and 85 of 97 (87.6%) in the fourth and fifth cycles, respectively. In the PR EQA the 100% pass rate jumped from zero to 52 of 76 (68.4%) in the fourth cycle and 86 of 97 (88.6%) in the last cycle. For HER2 EQA, the 100% pass rates were seen in 7 of 23 laboratories (30.4%) in the first cycle, 49 of 78 laboratories (62.8%) in the fourth cycle, and 48 of 94 laboratories (51.1%) in fifth cycle of EQA. Centers that participated in the NCG EQA system for a longer period often changed testing methodology, with consequent improvement in their laboratory concordance rates. An increasing trend for the use of automated platforms and of the US Food and Drug Administration–approved antibody for HER2 testing was observed.

Conclusions.—
Our experience demonstrates that laboratory performance improves with participation in an EQA system even in less perfect settings, and this drives the placement of more proficient practices across the country.

Published: December 2023

The purpose of this research analyzed the factors influencing the members’ willingness to pay capital in the agricultural cooperatives and unions. The research was performed on a sample 155 members of agricultural organizations in Igdir province of Türkiye using the Simple Random Sampling method. Members’ willingness to pay capital to their organizations were examined using the Contingent Valuation Method and effected factors were analyzed by Heckman Sample Selection model. The research showed that 56.6% of members were willing to pay capital an average of $131 for sustainability of organizations. According to the model results showed that members’ gender, agricultural income, know definition of organization, increase in income of members, pay entry capital, frequency of visiting, meeting the general assembly, cohesion of members positively affected, however, age, household, animal units, negative experience in the past with their organizations negatively affected the members’ willingness to pay capital. In order to sustainable of agricultural organizations, cohesion of members and participation to general assembly must increase. And, encouraging more young and female farmers to become a member, taking an active role cooperatives and unions in marketing and supply input could increase the members’ willingness to pay capital. In addition, training programs should be organized by agricultural organizations and government about increasing capital and economic participation.

Reflective Practices: Mixed Methods Research
Authors: Farr Fiona 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Due to the complex, and often hidden, nature of reflective practice it is generally best researched through a mixed methods approach in order to provide as holistic and plausible an interpretation as possible. After a brief introduction to the origins and nature of reflective practice in the English language teaching profession, this entry provides a summary outline of five of the most commonly mixed research approaches in this field: linguistic ethnography, case study, narrative inquiry, discourse analysis, and action research. The teaching practice context is then chosen to illustrate good examples of previous mixed methods studies that have been published, with a final specific focus on teaching practice feedback as a stereotypical reflective practice in which pre‐ and in‐service teachers engage.

AbstractCircularly polarized light (CPL) detection has wide applications in many fields, where the anisotropy factor (gIph) is an important indicator to characterize the CPL detection performance. So far, many materials with high gIph have been reported, however, the exploration of the regulation of gIph is still in its infancy. Herein, two novel alternating chiral‐achiral cations intercalation‐type chiral hybrid perovskites (CHPs), named (R/S‐1‐phenylpropylamine)(propylamine)PbBr4 (1‐R/S), exhibit above room‐temperature (RT) polar‐phase transition, which greatly regulates the gIph value. The gIph of 1‐R is 0.04 in high‐temperature phase chiral non‐polar (P212121) by applying 5 V bias, interestingly, with the temperature decrease, the gIph value in low‐temperature phase chiral polar (P21) gradually increases (0.22@360K, 0.40@340K, 0.47@320K), and finally reaches a maximum of 0.5 at RT. Such value is not only the highest among 2D CHPs to date, but presents a 12.5‐fold amplification compared with 0.04. Further, this rare phenomenon should be attributed to the built‐in electric field induced by the polar photovoltaic effect, which sheds light on further obtaining CHPs with large gIph.

Published: December 2023

AbstractCopper (Cu) is evidenced to be effective for constructing advanced catalysts. In particular, Cu2O is identified to be active for general catalytic reactions. However, conflicting results regarding the true structure‐activity correlations between Cu2O‐based active sites and efficiencies are usually reported. The structure of Cu2O undergoes dynamic evolution rather than remaining stable under working conditions, in which the actual reaction cannot proceed over the prefabricated Cu2O sites. Therefore, the dynamic construction of Cu2O active sites can be developed to promote catalytic efficiency and reveal the true structure‐activity correlations. Herein, by introducing the redox pairs of Cu2+ and reducing sugar into a photocatalysis system, it is clarified that the Cu2O sub‐nanoclusters (NCs), working as novel active sites, are on‐site constructed on the substrate via a photoinduced pseudo‐Fehling's route. The realistic interfacial charge separation and transformation capacities are remarkably promoted by the dynamic Cu2O NCs under the actual catalysis condition, which achieves a milestone efficiency for nitrate‐to‐ammonia photosynthesis, including the targets of production rate (1.98±0.04 mol gCu−1 h−1), conversion ratio (94.2±0.91 %), and selectivity (98.6 %±0.55 %). The current work develops an effective strategy for integrating the active site construction into realistic reactions, providing new opportunities for Cu‐based chemistry and catalysis sciences research.

Published: December 2023

AbstractGraphite (Gr) has been considered as the most promising anode material for potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) commercialization due to its high theoretical specific capacity and low cost. However, Gr‐based PIBs remain unfeasible at low temperature (LT), suffering from either poor kinetics based on conventional carbonate electrolytes or K+‐solvent co‐intercalation issue based on typical ether electrolytes. Herein, a high‐performance Gr‐based LT rechargeable PIB is realized for the first time by electrolyte chemistry. Applying unidentate‐ether‐based molecule as the solvent dramatically weakens the K+‐solvent interactions and lowers corresponding K+ de‐solvation kinetic barrier. Meanwhile, introduction of steric hindrance suppresses co‐intercalation of K+‐solvent into Gr, greatly elevating operating voltage and cyclability of the full battery. Consequently, the as‐prepared Gr||prepotassiated 3,4,9,10‐perylene‐tetracarboxylicacid‐dianhydride (KPTCDA) full PIB can reversibly charge/discharge between −30 and 45 °C with a considerable energy density up to 197 Wh kgcathode−1 at −20 °C, hopefully facilitating the development of LT PIBs.

Published: December 2023

AbstractA promising high temperature phthalonitrile (PN) resin composed of a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) core bridged by two bisphenol A linkers and end capped with PN groups is presented. This PEKK‐PN resin was characterized via differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared, and rheometry. The PEKK‐PN resin was evaluated with two different compositions containing 1) 70:30 PEKK‐PN to bisphenol A PN (n = 0) and 2) pure PEKK‐PN. The 70:30 PEKK‐PN resin was mixed with bis[4‐(3‐aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone and exhibited a melt viscosity of 271 cP, much lower than the 657 cP viscosity of the pure PEKK‐PN mixture. Void‐free PEKK‐PN polymers were easily prepared by degassing and curing up to 380°C, resulting in fully crosslinked networks exhibiting thermal stability above 500°C and a 75% char yield. Additionally, the cured PEKK‐PN polymer samples displayed good mechanical integrity retaining 50% stiffness at 300°C. This combination of properties suggests these new PEKK‐PN resins are excellent materials for high temperature thermosets in composite applications.
Lake Superior's summer cooling of shorelines and adjacent inland forests: Implications for refugia of boreal forests and disjunct arctic–alpine plants
Authors: Hillman Ashley , Nielsen Scott E. 
Published: December 2023

AbstractClimate refugia can serve as remnant habitat for cold‐adapted species and delay forest transitions. The world's largest freshwater lake by surface area, Lake Superior, serves as a model system for understanding cooling‐mediated refugia effects, as its cool summer water temperatures have maintained disjunct populations of arctic–alpine plants on its shoreline since deglaciation. It is known to affect local inland climates by providing a summer cooling effect; however, the inland temperature gradient and spatial patterns of cooling have not been well quantified. Here, we describe the extent, degree, and patterns of temperature buffering and examine drivers of buffering and disjunct plant occurrence for Lake Superior's north shore over a 3‐year period at distances of 10, 100 m, 1, 10, and 100 km inland. We analyzed temperature data by year, month, summer maximum (July), and growing degree days (GDD0) for each site. Average summertime cooling at shore sites (10 m) was ~5°C cooler than reference sites (100 km inland), with a maximum difference of −19.2°C. The magnitude of cooling varied geographically, with sites further west and southeast showing little to no cooling effect, while the exposed north‐central shore showed the highest degree of buffering (5.8°C cooler) and had a shorter growing season than reference sites. Finally, north‐central shorelines had fewer days above 16°C, a threshold above which disjunct plants are unlikely to grow. These sites also showed the highest proportion of disjunct arctic–alpine species, reflecting the highest buffering from inland sites. On north‐central shores, sites up to 10 km inland had less than 10 days per year warmer than 20°C, a threshold identified for boreal forest transition. An understanding of the extent of lake‐mediated cooling on adjacent forests can better inform the risk to disjunct species, inland forests, and vegetation transition models on Lake Superior's north shore.

Abstract
Carbofuran is one of the most toxic broad-spectrum pesticides. We evaluated the effects of carbofuran on two species of microalgae, Pseudopediastrum boryanum and Desmodesmus communis, through measurements of cell viability, biomass, chlorophyll content, and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The ability of these algae to remove carbofuran dissolved in the media was also determined. For the evaluations, both microalgae species were exposed to carbofuran (FURADAN 350 SC®) at concentrations of 100, 1000, and 10,000 µg L–1 for 7 days. Algae cell viability and chlorophyll-a concentration were not affected by the presence of carbofuran. Both species grew when exposed to the pesticide; however, the microalgae D. communis grew less than its respective control when exposed to the highest concentration (10,000 µg L–1 of carbofuran), indicating an adverse effect of the pesticide on this species. A significant increase in ROS production was observed in D. communis and P. boryanum when exposed to the highest concentration tested. The microalgae P. boryanum completely removed carbofuran in the media within 2 days, regardless of the concentration, whereas D. communis achieved the same result only after 5 days of exposure. Growth inhibition was observed only until the disappearance of carbofuran from the media. The present study suggests the use of microalgae, mainly P. boryanum, as potential tools for the remediation of environments contaminated by carbofuran because of their resistance to the insecticide and their ability to remove it rapidly from water.

Published: December 2023

AbstractInverse vulcanization of waste or renewable dienes has generated materials with phenomenal properties across a spectrum of applications. Nevertheless, the use of these materials for structural applications remains a challenge. Here, the use of an inverse vulcanized cyclopentadiene polymer as a resin for carbon fiber reinforced composites is explored. The dynamic S─S bonds in the polymer matrix are used to repair composite specimens over 5 generations by heating the material to 140 °C. A range of composites are manufactured and evaluated for their flexural properties, using a range of fiber orientations. Finally, this polymer is used to reinforce a carbon fiber fabric composed entirely of reclaimed materials, constituting a composite entirely composed of waste materials and second life carbon fibers.
Synergy and anti‐cooperativity in allostery: Molecular dynamics study of WT and oncogenic KRAS‐RGL1
Authors: Hacisuleyman Aysima , Erman Burak 
Published: December 2023

AbstractThis study focuses on investigating the effects of an oncogenic mutation (G12V) on the stability and interactions within the KRAS‐RGL1 protein complex. The KRAS‐RGL1 complex is of particular interest due to its relevance to KRAS‐associated cancers and the potential for developing targeted drugs against the KRAS system. The stability of the complex and the allosteric effects of specific residues are examined to understand their roles as modulators of complex stability and function. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we calculate the mutual information, MI, between two neighboring residues at the interface of the KRAS‐RGL1 complex, and employ the concept of interaction information, II, to measure the contribution of a third residue to the interaction between interface residue pairs. Negative II indicates synergy, where the presence of the third residue strengthens the interaction, while positive II suggests anti‐cooperativity. Our findings reveal that MI serves as a dominant factor in determining the results, with the G12V mutation increasing the MI between interface residues, indicating enhanced correlations due to the formation of a more compact structure in the complex. Interestingly, although II plays a role in understanding three‐body interactions and the impact of distant residues, it is not significant enough to outweigh the influence of MI in determining the overall stability of the complex. Nevertheless, II may nonetheless be a relevant factor to consider in future drug design efforts. This study provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of complex stability and function, highlighting the significance of three‐body interactions and the impact of distant residues on the binding stability of the complex. Additionally, our findings demonstrate that constraining the fluctuations of a third residue consistently increases the stability of the G12V variant, making it challenging to weaken complex formation of the mutated species through allosteric manipulation. The novel perspective offered by this approach on protein dynamics, function, and allostery has potential implications for understanding and targeting other protein complexes involved in vital cellular processes. The results contribute to our understanding of the effects of oncogenic mutations on protein–protein interactions and provide a foundation for future therapeutic interventions in the context of KRAS‐associated cancers and beyond.
