An empirical study from Chinese energy firms on the relationship between executive compensation and corporate performance
Authors: Han Li , Yu Han-Hsing 
Published: July 2023

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between executive compensation and firm performance in Chinese new energy companies.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The financial data of 122 Chinese-listed energy companies from 2010-2021 is selected for the empirical study.
Findings: Executives' monetary compensation and executives' shareholding ratio are positively related to corporate performance. Overseas background and financial background play a moderating role in the effect of executives' monetary compensation and their shareholding ratio on corporate performance.
Conclusion: The fact that executives' salaries and shareholding both have a significant positive impact on business performance demonstrates the effectiveness of pay incentives and equity-based incentive. The research additionally demonstrates that an executive's financial knowledge and experience in other countries alter the impact of cash and equity pay on company performance.
Research Limitations/Implications: The research excludes a large number of key energy businesses, especially rising ones in the clean energy sector, as it solely targets publicly traded businesses for ease of data collection.
Practical Implications: The survey results help to further understand the key factors of compensation incentives for managers in energy companies and are informative for the effectiveness of compensation incentives in energy companies.
Contribution to Literature: This study provides empirical results on the impact of managerial compensation on firm performance in energy firms in the Chinese context, adding a new step to the existing literature.
Vers un Gradus ad Parnassum pour l’Informatique Musicale
Authors: Lazzarini Victor 
Published: July 2023

L’informatique musicale existe depuis plus de 60 ans. Depuis les premières expériences de Max Mathews, elle a évolué vers une relation symbiotique entre art et science, l’art donnant un sens à la science et la science permettant à l’art d’aller de l’avant. Les compositeurs qui veulent s’engager sur ce terrain ont besoin de concilier ces deux aspects. Des compétences sont à acquérir qui sont très différentes de celles qui sont normalement procurées par les formations musicales traditionnelles. Parfois, les compositeurs collaborent avec des techniciens pour créer les pièces avec les technologies, mais nous pensons qu’un musicien informaticien devra apprendre les outils de son métier et qu’il est temps de développer ce que serait un Gradus ad Parnassum pour l’Informatique Musicale.
Une approche de l’électronique « live »
Authors: Ferreira José Luís 
Published: July 2023

L’un des grands défis de la musique mixte est l’articulation entre les structures musicales de la partition et les sons générés électroniquement (générés par ordinateur ou transformés, en temps réel ou différé). Pour cela, nous dépendons à la fois de facteurs humains et technologiques. Ainsi, l’une des principales questions est : quelles stratégies peuvent être employées pour répondre aux besoins expressifs et musicaux du compositeur. Dans cet article, nous en discuterons quelques-unes, ainsi que la reconnaissance de l’interprète informatique et l’implémentation de ce que j’appelle le système Ohne.
Use of RGP lens as Temporary Keratoprosthesis in Open-Sky Technique for Heterotopic Autokeratoplasty
Authors: Umel Allurie , Siazon Richmond , de la Paz Maria Fideliz 
Published: July 2023

PURPOSE To present a case of a combined procedure of heterotopic autokeratoplasty and ECCE with posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, and to demonstrate the novel use of an RGP lens as a safe, cost-effective alternative to temporary keratoprosthesis. REPORT OF CASE A 65/F presented with blindness, OS from glaucoma but with a clear cornea, and corneal decompensation with cataract in OD with good visual potential. Heterotopic autokeratoplasty was performed due to the scarcity of corneal allografts and the high-risk nature of the case, with ECCE and IOL implantation in OD due to lens opacity. Temporary keratoprosthesis (TKP) (such as Eckardt and Landers models) was substituted with RGP due to lower cost and accessibility. Pre-placement of two polyglactin perpendicular mattress sutures in the episclera at the horizontal and vertical positions was done and left untied. Next, left corneal trephination was performed using an 8-mm vacuum trephine, followed by the instillation of oculoviscosurgical device (OVD) and placement of a 10-mm diameter RGP lens over the left open globe, secured in place by tying the pre-placed overlying cross sutures. Then, right corneal trephination using a similar-sized trephine proceeded. Cataract was extracted in open-sky technique with IOL in the bag implantation. The clear left corneal button was then transplanted to OD and vice-versa. Postoperatively, VA improved from hand motions to 10/200 (Day 1). The graft remained clear 4 weeks post-op with further improvement in VA. IOP was maintained below 15 mmHg. CONCLUSION Heterotopic autokeratoplasty is a valid option for unilateral cornea blind patients who have clear corneas in the fellow eye with no visual potential. This is useful in countries where corneal transplantation is costly, especially during time of pandemic when corneal allografts are scarce. In our experience, it can be safely performed using an RGP lens as a safe and cost-effective alternative to temporary keratoprosthesis.

Hop bitterness in beer evaluated by computational analysis
Authors: Paredes Ramos María , M López Vilariño José 
Published: July 2023

Beer flavour and aroma are greatly influenced by the hop(s) employed in the brewing process. The iso-α-acids post wort boiling are the major compounds responsible for bitterness, which are detected by the bitter taste receptors (TAS2Rs) in oral taste buds. This family of receptors is activated in the presence of bitter molecules, which send chemical signals to the brain, making it possible to differentiate whether the detected molecules have a pleasant taste (or not). It is of interest to predict the behaviour of hop compounds towards bitter receptors such that the bitterness of different hop varieties can be predicted based on quantitative analysis of composition. Computational simulation, based in high-performance computing (HPC), allow the simulation of interactions of molecules with the various TAS2Rs, enabling the prediction the bitterness of these hop compounds. These techniques, will soon enable the design of beverages with customised flavours, greatly reducing the need for experimental evaluation. In this work, α and β-acids, iso-α-acids, and prenylflavonoids are analysed against the bitter receptors TAS2R10, TAS2R14 and TAS2R46. Using computational blind docking and molecular dynamics, xanthohumol was identified to have the highest bitter profile.

The Effect of Fake News on Memory for True Events
Authors: McKinley Geoffrey L. , Peterson Daniel J. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTExposure to false information has the potential to impact how people encode subsequent, factual information that is related to the false information. In the current study, we propose an experiment in which participants read a true or false article about the relationship between the strictness of gun laws and gun violence in each state of the U.S. Afterward, stories of actual shootings are shown to participants. Half of the stories have details that are consistent with the false news article, and half of the stories have details that are consistent with the true news article. Following a brief distractor task, participants are asked to recall as much as they can about each story. We hypothesize that details that are consistent with the conclusion of the previously‐read article will be remembered better than inconsistent details.
Effect of Chemical Foaming Process Parameters on the Performance of Epoxy Foam and Parameter Optimization Strategies
Authors: Chen Junzhen , Cheng Long , Hu Dongsheng , Si Yanpeng , Jiang Jianjun 
Published: January 2025

To prepare polymer foams with low‐density and high‐energy absorption efficiency, this study designs epoxy foaming experiments employing the Box–Behnken method and investigates the impact of process parameters on the microscopic geometric parameters and uniaxial compression response of foam. Finite element analysis models are created to investigate the microscale deformation mechanism. The main results are as follows: 1) The average equivalent cell diameter is significantly affected by foaming temperature and foaming agent content, while cell wall thickness is more influenced by the foaming agent content and the precuring time. 2) The compression response is most significantly affected by foaming temperature, followed by foaming agent content, with precuring time showing less significant influence. The differences in the stress–strain curves during various stages of deformation are due to the buckling of cell walls and the subsequent collapse of cells. 3) Density exhibits a highly positive correlation with strength and modulus while showing a relatively high negative correlation with energy absorption efficiency. Based on these findings, process parameters are optimized using the Hooke–Jeeves algorithm and experimentally validated, demonstrating the reliability of the optimization strategy. The experimental design and process parameter optimization strategy can be applied to other polymer foaming research.

This review provides a comprehensive examination of key efforts aimed at designing and tailoring localized micro‐environments to improve electrocatalytic performance. It discusses advances in micro‐environmental design, methodologies for evaluating micro‐environmental shifts, and the mechanistic insights driving these developments. Additionally, this review highlights existing challenges and prospective industrial applications of localized micro‐environment strategies. By offering a detailed analysis of recent developments, this review aims to equip researchers with practical knowledge on controlling micro‐environments, thereby accelerating progress toward practical real‐world applications in electrocatalytic processes.

Published: January 2025

AbstractDeveloping overall water splitting non‐noble metal electrocatalysts achieving long‐term stability with high activity at industrial‐grade current density remains challenging. Herein, a self‐reconstruction strategy of Co9S8‐Ni3S2/NCF is employed to fabricate NixCo3‐xO4‐Ov‐ in which partial Co is replaced by Ni in the structure. The reconstructed NixCo3‐xO4‐Ov can enhance the adsorbing ability of leached from the initial phase compared with Co spinel, achieving exceeding 1000‐h oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 600‐h overall water splitting stability at 1000 mA cm−2 with excellent activity. In situ Raman and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicate that partial substitution of Ni for Co atoms enhances the adsorption capacity on the reconstructed NixCo3‐xO4‐Ov, facilitating the formation of high‐density Co3+ active sites on (400) that expedited interfacial electron transfer at high current densities. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the adsorption of leached stabilizes surface oxygen vacancies and optimizes the adsorption energy of intermediates, thereby improving both stability and catalytic performance. The findings provide new insights into overcoming the activity‐stability trade‐off and contribute to the strategy for the design of electrocatalysts for long‐term water splitting at industrial‐grade current densities.

AbstractHyperglycemia and its induced oxidative stress microenvironment present formidable challenges to the repair of diabetic bone defects. Herein, a novel TZGP (α‐TCP/ZnO/GM@P2) composite scaffold for diabetic bone defect repair is developed. Characterization results demonstrate that the α‐TCP cement scaffold, ZnO nanoparticles, and gelatin microspheres loaded with and protecting P2 (a novel parathyroid hormone‐related peptide) achieve complementary advantages. The TZGP scaffold, while meeting the mechanical strength requirements of cancellous bone, compensates for the deficiency of bioactive peptides in inorganic scaffolds. Its biocompatibility is enhanced, and the scaffold is endowed with antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The in vitro and in vivo results reveal that the TZGP scaffold releases active factors P2 and Zn2+, promotes cell proliferation and recruitment in a high‐glucose microenvironment, reduces cellular reactive oxygen species accumulation, improves DNA injury and mitochondrial homeostasis, and induces osteogenic‐angiogenic differentiation. Compared with the conventional α‐TCP scaffold, the TZGP scaffold exhibits more excellent biodegradability, accelerates local tissue filling, and promotes bone accumulation and vascular reconstruction in diabetic bone defects. Consequently, the novel design strategy of the TZGP scaffold offers a promising approach to repairing diabetic bone defects.

AbstractThe electrochemical transformation of nitrate (NO3−) into ammonia (NH3) holds significant promise to addresses nitration contamination and offers a sustainable alternative to the Haber–Bosch process. However, the sluggish kinetics hinders its large‐scale application. Herein, a Cu‐doped SrRuO3 synergetic tandem catalyst is designed and synthesized, which demonstrates exceptional performance in converting NO3− to NH3. Specifically, this catalyst achieves a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 95.4% for ammonia production, along with a high yield rate of 7196 µg h−1 mgcat.−1. A series of detailed characterizations reveals that the doped Cu ions modify the local electronic environment of Ru 4d eg orbital in SrRuO3, thereby facilitating highly efficient electron transfer processes. In situ delta X‐ray absorption near‐edge structure (ΔXANES), synchrotron radiation‐based Fourier transform infrared (SR‐FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy identified the *NO2− generated on the Cu active sites is subsequently hydrogenated on the Ru sites. Combined with theoretical studies, it is confirmed that the tandem catalyst significantly reduces the energy barriers of the rate‐determining step (*NO to *NOH), thereby enhancing the efficiency of ammonia synthesis. This work not only offers fundamental insights into the mechanisms of cation substitution on regulating the eg orbital of perovskite catalysts, but also provides a promising avenue for the electro‐synthesis of ammonia.
Biphase Alloy Nanoheterojunction Encapsulated within N‐Doped Carbon Nanotubes as Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalyst for High‐Performance Zn‐Air and Mg‐Air Batteries

Published: January 2025

AbstractN‐doped carbon confined alloy catalysts possess considerable potential in facilitating oxygen electrocatalytic reaction and consequent applications in metal air batteries, but the sluggish catalytic kinetics and high reaction barrier of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remain the bottleneck restricting its further development. Here, a novel CoFe‐NiFe biphase alloy nanoheterojunction encapsulated within N‐doped carbon nanotubes (CoFe‐NiFe@NCNT) is fabricated via the hydrothermal carbothermic reduction approach. Owing to the plentiful active sites and high electrical conductance, the potential difference between OER and ORR amounts to merely 0.68 V. Simultaneously, the performance of the Zn‐air and Mg‐air batteries assembled by CoFe‐NiFe@NCNT serving as the air‐cathode are superior to that of commercial Pt/C + RuO2. The DFT outcomes reveal that the transformation between *OOH and *O is the rate‐determining step (RDS) of ORR/OER. Also, the synergy between the biphase alloy heterojunction and N‐doped carbon nanotubes is conducive to reduce the reaction energy barrier. This study offers a profound understanding toward the structural design of biphase alloy nanoheterojunction electrocatalysts and the utilization in metal‐air batteries for portable wearable electronic apparatuses.
