Background
As a method for sustainable agriculture, biofertilizers containing plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) have been recommended as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. However, the short shelf-life of inoculants remains a limiting factor in the development of biofertilizer technology. The present study aimed to (i) evaluate the effectiveness of four different carriers (perlite, vermiculite, diatomite and coconut coir dust) on the shelf-life of S2-4a1 and R2-3b1 isolates over 60 days after inoculation and (ii) evaluate isolated bacteria as growth-promoting agents for coffee seedlings.

Methods
The rhizosphere soil-isolated S2-4a1 and plant-tissue-isolated R2-3b1 were chosen based on their P and K-solubilizing capacities and their ability to produce IAA. To evaluate the alternative carriers, two selected isolates were inoculated with the four different carriers and incubated at 25 °C for 60 days. The bacterial survival, pH, and EC in each carrier were investigated. In addition, coconut coir dust inoculated with the selected isolates was applied to the soil in pots planted with coffee (Coffea arabica). At 90 days following application, variables such as biomass and total N, P, K, Ca, and Mg uptakes of coffee seedlings were examined.

Results
The results showed that after 60 days of inoculation at 25 °C, the population of S2-4a1 and R2-3b1 in coconut coir dust carriers was 1.3 and 2.15 × 108 CFU g−1, respectively. However, there were no significant differences among carriers (P > 0.05). The results of the present study suggested that coconut coir dust can be used as an alternative carrier for S2-4a1 and R2-3b1 isolates. The significant differences in pH and EC were observed by different carriers (P < 0.01) after inoculation with both bacterial isolates. However, pH and EC declined significantly only with coconut coir dust during the incubation period. In addition, coconut coir dust-based bioformulations of both S2-4a1 and R2-3b1 enhanced plant growth and nutrient uptake (P, K, Ca, Mg), providing evidence that isolated bacteria possess additional growth-promoting properties.

ImportanceCare management programs are increasingly being utilized by health systems as a new foundational strategy to advance value-based care. These programs offer the promise of improving patient outcomes while decreasing health care utilization and costs. However, as these programs proliferate in number and specialization, the field of care management is increasingly at risk of fragmentation, inefficiency, and failure to meet the core needs of the patient.ObservationsThis review of the current state of care management identifies several key challenges for the field, including an unclear value proposition, a focus on system- vs patient-centered outcomes, increased specialization by private and public entrants that produces care fragmentation, and lack of coordination among health and social service entities. A framework is proposed for reorienting care management to truly address the needs of patients through acknowledging the dynamic nature of patient care needs, providing a continuum of need-targeted programming, coordinating care among all involved entities and staff, and performing regular evaluations of outcomes that include patient-centered and health equity measures. Guidance on how this framework can be implemented within a health system and an outline of recommendations is provided for how policymakers may incentivize the development of high value and more equitable care management programs.Conclusions and RelevanceWith increased focus on care management as a cornerstone of value-based care, value-based health leaders and policymakers can improve the effectiveness and value of care management programs, reduce patient financial burden for care management services, and promote stakeholder coordination.

ImportanceRacial disparities in lung cancer screening (LCS) are often ascribed to barriers such as cost, insurance status, access to care, and transportation. Because these barriers are minimized within the Veterans Affairs system, there is a question of whether similar racial disparities exist within a Veterans Affairs health care system in North Carolina.ObjectivesTo examine whether racial disparities in completing LCS after referral exist at the Durham Veterans Affairs Health Care System (DVAHCS) and, if so, what factors are associated with screening completion.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cross-sectional study assessed veterans referred to LCS between July 1, 2013, and August 31, 2021, at the DVAHCS. All included veterans self-identified as White or Black and met the US Preventive Services Task Force eligibility criteria as of January 1, 2021. Participants who died within 15 months of consultation or who were screened before consultation were excluded.ExposuresSelf-reported race.Main Outcomes and MeasuresScreening completion was defined as completing computed tomography for LCS. The associations among screening completion, race, and demographic and socioeconomic risk factors were assessed using logistic regression models.ResultsA total of 4562 veterans (mean [SD] age, 65.4 [5.7] years; 4296 [94.2%] male; 1766 [38.7%] Black and 2796 [61.3%] White) were referred for LCS. Of all veterans referred, 1692 (37.1%) ultimately completed screening; 2707 (59.3%) never connected with the LCS program after referral and an informational mailer or telephone call, indicating a critical point in the LCS process. Screening rates were substantially lower among Black compared with White veterans (538 [30.5%] vs 1154 [41.3%]), with Black veterans having 0.66 times lower odds (95% CI, 0.54-0.80) of screening completion after adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors.Conclusions and RelevanceThis cross-sectional study found that after referral for initial LCS via a centralized program, Black veterans had 34% lower odds of LCS screening completion compared with White veterans, a disparity that persisted even after accounting for numerous demographic and socioeconomic factors. A critical point in the screening process was when veterans must connect with the screening program after referral. These findings may be used to design, implement, and evaluate interventions to improve LCS rates among Black veterans.

AbstractAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is afflicted by a high‐mortality rate and few treatment options. The lack of specific surface antigens severely hampers the development of targeted therapeutics and cell therapy. Here, it is shown that exogenous all‐trans retinoic acid (ATRA) mediates selective and transient CD38 upregulation on leukemia cells by up to 20‐fold, which enables high‐efficiency targeted nanochemotherapy of leukemia with daratumumab antibody‐directed polymersomal vincristine sulfate (DPV). Strikingly, treatment of two CD38‐low expressing AML orthotopic models with ATRA and DPV portfolio strategies effectively eliminates circulating leukemia cells and leukemia invasion into bone marrow and organs, leading to exceptional survival benefits with 20–40% of mice becoming leukemia‐free. The combination of exogenous CD38 upregulation and antibody‐directed nanotherapeutics provides a unique and powerful targeted therapy for leukemia.

AbstractDesigning mononuclear platinum(II) complexes that do not rely on intermolecular aggregation for high‐performance red organic light‐emitting diodes remains a formidable challenge. In this work, three robust red‐emitting Pt(II) complexes are created by utilizing a rigid 4‐coordination configuration, where the ligands are formed by linking electron‐donor of triphenylamine (TPA) moieties with electron‐acceptor of pyridine, isoquinoline, and/or δ‐carboline units. The thermal stability, electrochemical, and photophysical properties of the complexes are thoroughly examined. The complexes display efficient red phosphorescence, with high photoluminescence quantum yields and short excited lifetimes. The OLEDs dope with these complexes exhibit high maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) of up to 31.8% with minimal efficiency roll‐off even at high brightness. Significantly, the devices demonstrate exceptional long operational lifetime, with a T90 lifetime of over 14000 h at initial luminance of 1000 cd m−2, indicating the potential for these complexes to be practically utilizes.

AbstractSoft woods have attracted enormous interest due to their anisotropic cellular microstructure and unique flexibility. The conventional wood‐like materials are usually subject to the conflict between the superflexibility and robustness. Inspired by the synergistic compositions of soft suberin and rigid lignin of cork wood which has good flexibility and mechanical robustness, an artificial soft wood is reported by freeze‐casting the soft‐in‐rigid (rubber‐in‐resin) emulsions, where the carboxy nitrile rubber confers softness and rigid melamine resin provides stiffness. The subsequent thermal curing induces micro‐scale phase inversion and leads to a continuous soft phase strengthened by interspersed rigid ingredients. The unique configuration ensures crack resistance, structural robustness and superb flexibility, including wide‐angle bending, twisting, and stretching abilities in various directions, as well as excellent fatigue resistance and high strength, overwhelming the natural soft wood and most wood‐inspired materials. This superflexible artificial soft wood represents a promising substrate for bending‐insensitive stress sensors.

AbstractExploring rapid, sensitive, and multifunctional biosensors is of great significance in medical diagnosis and biotechnology, while creating Cu‐N‐C center‐based enzymatic biodetection system is still a great challenge for colorimetric biosensing fields. Herein, inspired by the axial coordination structure of the natural enzyme, an efficient and specific Cu‐N‐C center‐based peroxidase‐like biocatalyst is created via axial strong‐metal‐support‐interaction (SMSI) between WOx support and Cu‐Nx‐based carbon shell, denoted as Cu‐NC‐WO3. This analysis discloses that the SMSI effect induces electron transfer from Cu to WOx, thus making the valence state of Cu higher and consequently suppressing the O intermediates' adsorption. Owing to this unique structure, the Cu‐NC‐WO3 exhibits exceptional peroxidase (POD) like activities (Km = 3.57 × 10−3 m, Vmax = 13.80 × 10−6 m s−1, and turnover number (TON) = 206.13 × 10−3 s−1 for H2O2), which is more efficient than the other Cu‐Nx center‐based biocatalysts and also many recently reported peroxidase‐like nanomaterials. Meanwhile, this Cu‐NC‐WO3 shows substrate selectivity, low detection limit, and high resistance to extreme environments for abundant H2O2‐related biomarkers, which are revealed by colorimetric studies. Thus, as a helpful method for accurate biodetection, it is believed this work promises to offer rapid, specific, and inexpensive colorimetric biosensors for regions with bare medical resources, as well as new strategies for the structural engineering of enzyme‐like biocatalysts.

Abstract1D semiconductor wires have great potential in on‐chip integrated photonics systems. However, it is still challenging to efficiently integrate various semiconductor wires on a large scale for complex functional devices. This study reports a universal route to in‐plane integrate unidirectional metal halide perovskite CsPbBr3 wire arrays with Sb2Se3, PbSeand CdS wires on mica substrates, respectively. It is found that the growth of the unidirectional wire arrays is controlled by a synergistic effect of the promoted initial nucleation on the transferred heterogeneous wires and the thermodynamically favored epitaxy on mica. The optical characterizations show that the CsPbBr3 wire arrays can act as both the light emitting media and waveguide, where the emission in the CsPbBr3 wires can be efficiently guided into the backbone Sb2Se3 wire. Importantly, the constructed CsPbBr3 waveguide arrays/Sb2Se3 wire photodetector system shows 73.4 nA photocurrent with the on/off ratio of 111, by exciting the CsPbBr3 wires at 174 mW cm−2 of 405 nm laser. The frequency dependent photoresponse characterizations exhibit a response capability of 2000 Hz modulated laser pulse and a 3 dB frequency above 300 Hz, indicating the rapid response speed. This study promotes the application of semiconductor wires in on‐chip multifunctional integrated photonic devices.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe remarkable surge in energy demand has compelled the quest for high‐energy‐density battery systems. The Li–O2 battery (LOB) and Li–air battery (LAB), owing to their extremely high theoretical energy density, have attracted extensive research in the past two decades. The commercial development of LOB is hampered due to the numerous challenges its components present. Ionic liquids (ILs) are considered potential electrolyte solvents of LOBs and LABs due to their excellent electrochemical stability, thermal stability, non‐flammability, low flammability, and O2 solubility. In addition to electrolyte solvents, ILs also have other applications in LOB and LAB systems. This review reports the progress of IL‐based LOBs and LABs over the years since treported for the first time in 2005. The impact of the physiochemical properties of ILs on the performance of LOB and LAB at various operating conditions is thoroughly discussed. The various methodologies are also summarized that are employed to tune ILs’ physiochemical properties to render them more favorable for rechargeable lithium batteries. Tunable properties of ILs create the possibility of designing cost‐effective batteries with excellent safety, high energy density and high power density, and long‐term stability.

AbstractThe lack of highly efficient photoanodes presents a significant challenge to implementing the promising strategy of unbiased solar‐to‐fuel conversion. To achieve high‐performance photoanodes, improving their light harvesting and charge separation/injection capabilities is indispensable. Herein, solution‐processed vertically oriented Sb2S3 nanorod arrays on substrate are obtained via a Au seed layer, resulting in improved optoelectronic properties (due to the light scattering effect) and favorable crystallographic orientation of the 1D nanostructure. Moreover, the (NH4)2WS4 treatment caps the surface of the nanorods with an amorphous WSx layer and passivates the sulfur vacancy of Sb2S3, resulting in boosted charge extraction to the reactants. The resulting photoanode is employed to drive an iodide oxidation reaction (IOR), which is a prominent alternative to sluggish water oxidation reactions, exhibiting a high photocurrent density of 13 mA cm−2 at 0.6 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode. Subsequently, an unassisted hydrogen generation device is demonstrated by combining an Sb2S3 nanorod array‐based photoanode for IOR and a perovskite‐based photocathode for the hydrogen evolution reaction, achieving an efficient hydrogen production current density of 5.7 mA cm−2 without any external bias.

AbstractAccurate and economically sound soil fertility recommendations are critical for ensuring profitable food production for smallholder farmers. However, such recommendations are lacking in many areas due to insufficient soil and crop response data. This study was conducted between 2016 and 2022 using boundary line analysis to evaluate crop response to soil fertility on 644 farms in Guatemala. We identify optimal soil property conditions for maize (Zea mays L.), common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and coffee (Coffea arabica L.) production in Guatemala and use crop price information to develop economically sound fertilization recommendations. We also analyzed the drivers of yield outcomes and assessed their relative importance with machine learning (ML) models. Results demonstrate that a majority of country‐level data currently have sub‐optimal soil nutrient levels and by optimizing nutrients, yields and profits could be improved in 64%, 51%, and 69% of maize, common bean, and coffee crops, respectively. In addition, ML underscored the central role of climate in shaping yield outcomes. Variable importance rankings from random forest indicated climate and water balance variables increased predictive accuracy more than soil parameters, highlighting the critical need for climate‐smart adaptations in the region. The pairing of boundary line with ML analysis provided unique and complementary information about factors that drive yield of major crops in Guatemala. This is an effective approach for developing fertility recommendations in Guatemala and could be replicated in other countries where critical nutrient recommendations are currently lacking for closing yield gaps and identifying yield response to climatic stochasticity.
