Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundInfants with intestinal failure (IF) are at increased risk of malnutrition and require adapted nutrition support. Optimal weight gain during nutrition rehabilitation should occur at the velocity of statural age (adjusted to the 50th percentile of height) and not chronological age. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between weight gain during catch‐up growth, nonprotein energy intake (NPEI) provided by total parenteral nutrition (TPN), and resting energy expenditure (REE) in children with severe malnutrition due to IF.Materials and MethodsThis retrospective study included all infants with severe malnutrition treated with TPN for IF between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2013. They all had no or minimal oral intake (<10% REE). The REE was calculated using the Schofield equations.ResultsSeventeen children were included (11 boys) with a mean age at TPN onset of 5 mo. They were followed for a mean duration of 39 days. On admission, body weight and height were –3.1 ± 0.9 and –3.3 ± 1.3 SD, respectively. The indications for TPN were short bowel syndrome (n = 10), congenital enteropathy (microvillous inclusion disease, n = 6) and chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction syndrome (n = 1). After 28 days of nutrition rehabilitation with full NPEI from TPN, the observed weight gain was 110 ± 5% of optimal weight gain for statural age. The mean NPEI from TPN was 104.3 ± 8.0 kcal/kg/d. The mean ratio of NPEI over REE was 2.1 ± 0.2.ConclusionOptimal weight gain was achieved with NPEI from TPN twice the REE in severely malnourished infants with IF. NPEI values were adequate and not excessive for age.

Published: September 2023

AbstractMicrobes from oil reservoirs shape petroleum composition through processes such as biodegradation or souring. Such processes are considered economically detrimental and might pose health and safety hazards. It is therefore crucial to understand the composition of a reservoir's microbial community and its metabolic capabilities. However, such analyses are hindered by difficulties in extracting DNA from such complex fluids as crude oil. Here, we present a novel DNA extraction method from oils with a wide American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity (density) range. We investigated the ability to extract cells from oils with different solvents and surfactants, the latter both nonionic and ionic. Furthermore, we evaluated three DNA extraction methods. Overall, the best DNA yields and the highest number of 16S rRNA reads were achieved with isooctane as a solvent, followed by an ionic surfactant treatment using sodium dodecyl sulfate and DNA extraction using the PowerSoil Pro Kit (Qiagen). The final method was then applied to various oils from oil reservoirs collected in aseptic conditions. Despite the expected low cell density of 101–103 cells/ml, the new method yielded reliable results, with average 16S rRNA sequencing reads in the order of 41431 (±8860) per sample. Thermophilic, halophilic, and anaerobic taxa, which are most likely to be indigenous to the oil reservoir, were found in all samples. API gravity and DNA yield, despite the sufficient DNA obtained, did not show a correlation.
Influence of broodstock nutrition on egg quality and fatty acid composition in California Yellowtail

Abstract

Objective
California Yellowtail (CYT) Seriola dorsalis are continuous spawners and rely entirely on their diet to supply nutrients like fatty acids (FAs) to their eggs to support early development. The objective of this study was to determine whether commercial diets could replace a diet consisting of fresh fishery products (FFP-D) without compromising egg quality and biochemical composition, specifically FAs.

Methods
In 2017, one broodstock group (one female and two males) was fed a formulated reference feed (REF-D; Bio-Oregon). This pilot experiment showed that it was possible for a minimum of one female and two male broodfish to spawn repeatedly in a tank, a finding that led to a replicated diet experiment during 2018 in which 18 CYT broodfish were divided into six replicate tanks, with one female and two males per tank. Three tanks were fed the FFP-D as a control, and three tanks were fed a commercial diet (COM-D; Breed-M, INVE). For each spawning event, egg quality metrics were collected, along with samples for FA analysis.

Result
The 2017 REF-D treatment produced eggs that met arachidonic acid (ARA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) requirements and had egg metrics comparable to those obtained from the FFP-D, with higher viability and average batch fecundity. However, the REF-D treatment had insufficient docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and no tank replicates. The 2018 COM-D treatment produced eggs with large egg and oil diameters and met ARA and EPA requirements but was associated with very poor spawning and hatch success and had insufficient DHA levels. The FFP-D treatment produced below-average viability and batch fecundity rates and was unable to meet most essential FA requirements, but it yielded the greatest number of spawning events.

Conclusion
None of the experimental treatments, including the control, was able to fully meet the nutritional requirements of CYT broodstock. These results reveal crucial data about current CYT broodstock diets that can facilitate future research for developing nutritionally complete diets, especially in terms of essential FAs.

Published: September 2023

Abstract

Objective
The removal of invasive Silver Carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix is a primary control action in North America. Strong avoidance responses to underwater sound and electricity have been shown to facilitate herding and mass removal of these fish. We conducted a telemetry study on a closed population of Silver Carp (i.e., 10 telemetered fish) to assess fine-scale movement responses to herding stimuli.

Methods
Two herding boats traveled along bank-to-bank transects through the study area (longitudinal progression rate = 0.37 m/s) emitting sound and electricity (“combination technique”) or no added stimuli (“control”).

Result
The combination technique was most effective in terms of increasing fish presence (2.2 × the control) in the refuge zones when herding had concluded and effective range (i.e., fish reaction distance; 1.6 × the control) relative to the herding boats. The median (~1 m/s) and maximum (~2 m/s) swimming velocity was relatively stable across fixed effects, except for the negative influence of water depth on maximum velocity. Water depth also exhibited a negative effect on fish reaction distance.

Conclusion
Our results suggest that the effective range of the combination technique was conservatively 200 m (~20 dB re 1 μPa &gt; ambient level) when accounting for water depth in the study area. Herding deployments &lt;1 m/s (longitudinal progression) could control fish passing and maintain fish movements toward an intended location. The information provided herein can serve to assist planning, designing, and applying herding efforts to manage, control, and remove these invasive fish.

AbstractObjectivesA feasibility proof‐of‐concept study was conducted to assess the effects of acute tibial nerve stimulation (TNS) on the central nervous system in healthy volunteers using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).Materials and MethodsFourteen healthy volunteers were included in a prospective, single‐site study conducted on a clinical 3T MRI scanner. Four scans of functional MRI, each lasting 6 min, were acquired: two resting‐state fMRI scans (prior and following the TNS intervention) and in‐between two fMRI scans, both consisting of alternating rest periods and noninvasive acute transcutaneous TNS (TTNS). Whole brain seed‐based functional connectivity (FC) correlation analysis was performed comparing TTNS stimulation with rest periods. Cluster‐level familywise error (FWE) corrected p and a minimal cluster size of 200 voxels were used to explore FC patterns.ResultsIncreased FC is reported between inferior frontal gyrus, posterior cingulate gyrus, and middle temporal gyrus with the precuneus as central receiving node. In addition, decreased FC in the cerebellum, hippocampus, and parahippocampal areas was observed.ConclusionsAltered FC is reported in areas which have been described to be also involved in lower urinary tract control. Although conducted with healthy controls, the assumption that the underlying therapeutic effect of TNS involves the central nervous system is supported and has to be further examined in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this article, a finite‐horizon optimal trajectory control strategy is developed for near space hypersonic vehicle (NSHV) longitudinal model with multi‐constraints including external disturbance, system modeling error, and input saturation. The whole control process has two parts: inner‐loop attitude control and outer‐loop trajectory control. First, the feedback linearization method is applied to design a tracking controller for outer‐loop system, and reference signals for inner‐loop attitude control can be obtained using Newton iteration method. Second, for the inner‐loop attitude system with multi‐constraints, a finite‐horizon optimal tracking control scheme consists of feedforward control input and adaptive dynamic programming based optimal feedback controller is designed. In this way, not only the adverse effects of above multi‐constraints are eliminated, but also the optimally tracking performances are guaranteed. Finally, the Lyapunov analysis method is utilized to ensure the stability of the entire closed‐loop control system, and simulation tests with respect to NSHV longitudinal trajectory tracking are supplied to verify the availability of the proposed strategy.

AbstractIn this work, a dual‐emission ratiometric fluorescence sensor was prepared and used for the detection of sulfadiazine (SDZ) drug. The hydrothermal method was used to synthesize carbon quantum dots (CQD) (fluorescence response signal) and sulfhydryl‐modified cadmium telluride quantum dots (fluorescence reference signal), and a molecularly imprinted polymer was subsequently synthesized. After eluting the template molecule SDZ, the blot recognition site remains on the surface of the imprinted polymer. During the process of detection, due to electron transfer between SDZ and CQDs, holes of stimulated electrons are filled. This leads to fluorescence quenching at around 430 nm, which greatly improves sensor selection performance. Compared with traditional single‐emission fluorescence sensors, ratiometric fluorescence sensors have a wider linear range and higher detection accuracy. Under the optimal conditions, the sensor exhibited excellent performance in terms of low detection limit (4.2 nmol L−1) and satisfactory linear range (2–20 μmol L−1). This intelligent response change mode also provides prospect for detection of other sulfonamide antibiotics and offers a reference to signal transform for other molecular imprinting technologies. © 2023 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

AbstractMetal coatings with micron thickness, high conductivity, and a unique structure that can provide exceptional electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding performance to insulation substrates are highly desirable, especially if the production method is inexpensive, pollution‐free, and efficient. In this study, the Ar/H2 mixed atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) was utilized to reduce AgNO3 to produce PC + ABS substrates coated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). It was found that the low roughness AgNPs coating has a multilayer network structure, which could exhibit high conductivity and excellent EMI shielding effectiveness (SE). In conclusion, this method is an excellent choice for producing metal EMI shielding coating.

Published: September 2023

Societal Impact StatementStriga is a parasitic plant that greatly limits the production of Africa's most staple cereals, including sorghum. Infection occurs when the parasite germinates in response to biomolecules emitted into the soil from the host's roots. Some sorghum genotypes harbor a mutation that makes them ineffective in stimulating Striga seed germination. This resistance is of great importance because of its possible application in Striga management. Here, additional resistant sorghum genotypes with varying levels of Striga resistance are discussed in the context of their candidacy for integration in breeding programs and their possible role in alleviating food insecurity in sub‐Saharan Africa by reducing crop losses because of Striga infestation.Summary

Sorghum is a food staple for millions of people in sub‐Saharan Africa, but its production is greatly diminished by Striga, a parasitic weed. An efficient and cost‐effective way of managing Striga in smallholder farms in Africa is to deploy resistant varieties of sorghum.
Here, we leverage genomics and the vast genetic diversity of sorghum—evolutionarily adapted to cope with Striga parasitism in Africa—to identify new Striga‐resistant sorghum genotypes by exploiting a resistance mechanism hinged on communication molecules called strigolactones (SLs), exuded by hosts to trigger parasite seed germination. We achieved this by mining for mutant alleles of the LOW GERMINATION STIMULANT 1 (LGS1) that are ineffective in stimulating Striga germination from the sorghum accession panel (SAP).
Our analysis identified lgs1 sorghum genotypes, which we named SAP‐lgs1. SAP‐lgs1 had the SL exudation profile of known lgs1 sorghum, whose hallmark is the production of the low inducer of germination, orobanchol. Laboratory and field resistance screens showed that the SAP‐lgs1 genotypes also exhibited remarkable resistance against Striga.
Our findings have the potential to reduce crop losses because of Striga parasitism and therefore have far‐reaching implications for improving food security in Africa.
Role of Hydrogen Bonding on the Design of New Hybrid Perovskites Unraveled by Machine Learning

Published: September 2023

AbstractSelecting a set of reactants to accurately design a new low dimensional hybrid perovskite could greatly accelerate the discovery of materials with great potential in photovoltaics, or solid‐state lighting. However, this design is challenging as most hybrid metal halides are not perovskites and no feature is clearly associated to the structural characteristics of the inorganic metal halide network. This work first demonstrates that the organic molecules are key parameters to determine the structure type of the inorganic network (i.e., perovskite versus non‐perovskite). Then, machine learning (ML) algorithms are used to identify the key features of the organic cations leading to the perovskite structure type. Using a large dataset of hybrid metal halides, this work extracts the organic molecules of all hybrid lead halide compounds, calculates 2756 molecular descriptors and fingerprints for each of these molecules, and are able to predict through ML techniques if a specific organic amine will lead to the perovskite type with an accuracy up to 88.65%. Descriptors related to hydrogen bonding are identified as important features. Thus, a simple but reliable design principle could be demonstrated: the presence of primary ammonium cation is the primary condition to prepare hybrid lead halide perovskites regardless of their dimensionalities.

AbstractThe growing urban population, increasing income per capita, and significant rise in the number of people living in cities are all placing a strain on the nation's water supply and calling for innovative methods of urban water management. Water stress, excessive resource consumption, nutrient discharge into aquatic ecosystems, and financially unstable utilities are all consequences of the traditional linear “take, make, waste” approach to water management. Many strategies are required to achieve economic, environmental, and social sustainability. More closed‐loop urban wastewater and resource management systems can be developed and implemented with the help of a toolkit that includes stormwater management/rainwater harvesting, water conservation, water reclamation and reuse, energy management, nutrient recovery, and source separation. Water conservation, water reclamation, and wastewater reuse are becoming the norm in many water‐poor regions. This shift is hastened by decentralization, made possible by dispersed stormwater management/rainwater collection and innovative high‐performance treatment technologies. Similar changes are occurring in conventional methods of residual management due to the need for more energy recovery and nutrient recovery and reuse. Finding the most outstanding long‐term solutions requires an economic study done well. The practice of stove‐piping must be eradicated from urban wastewater and resource management. These novel techniques for managing urban wastewater and resources can produce more long‐term, financially stable, resource‐efficient, environmentally friendly, nutrient‐sensitive, and sanitary outcomes.

AbstractA 13‐year‐old, male, neutered Maltese presented for lethargy and anorexia. Clinical examination identified bradycardia and a grade 2/6 systolic left basilar murmur. A six‐lead electrocardiogram revealed high‐degree, 4:1 second‐degree atrioventricular block, with a rate of 40 beats per minute. Echocardiography revealed a large mass in the interventricular septum, an atypical location for a cardiac mass, as a potential cause of the arrhythmia. An epicardial pacemaker was placed and a mass within pericardium was biopsied. Histopathology revealed hemangiosarcoma. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy and was euthanased 2 months following diagnosis.
Future of Work and Business

AbstractOur professional lives are tightly integrated to the overall future of humanity on several dynamics including family, social identity, physical and mental health, and economy. In 2050, there would be sweeping transformation of the way we work. Europe and the United States will face a decline in population and a shortage of manpower, whereas population in Africa and Asia would continue to grow and act as a source of manpower for these regions. However, Africa and South Asia would continue to be plagued by the absence of infrastructure and capital. Labor force from these regions would migrate to the developed regions in search of better opportunities and improved livelihood. Across the world, unemployment among the youth would increase multifold, leading to severe political and social unrests, resulting in disintegration and implosion of many nation states. From a micro perspective, from an organizational point of view, by 2050, many of them would revert to social capital—trust and goodwill between individuals and their communities—to coordinate business activities compared to the current formal systems like business contracts, management policies, hierarchies, and bureaucratic rules. There would also be sprouting of micro-multinationals that would replace large multinationals of today. Business decisions being driven by real-time data analysis and predictive and actionable data would help them thrive.

AbstractFuture medicine will focus on preventing new diseases and monitoring a person’s pre-nosological state, which is perfectly evidenced by the current situation with the coronavirus epidemic. The medicine of the future is not about treating the sick, but making sure that you do not get sick in principle. The boom of innovations, gadgets, and technological solutions cannot but affect medicine. The traditional healthcare system is a highly fragmented structure. Technology can offer an interconnected solution to the individual. Sensory wearable technologies will likely become the basis for future disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The new generation of doctors is interested in innovation and making better decisions rather than in traditions and centuries-long working SOPs.
