New Prediction Model of Surface and Interfacial Energies Based on COSMO‐UCE**
Authors: Zhao Yueqiang , Wang Shengkang , Chang Yanjiao , Liu Weiwei 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe nature and strength of intermolecular and surface forces are the key factors that influence the solvation, adhesion and wetting phenomena. The universal cohesive energy prediction equation based on conductor‐like screening model (COSMO‐UCE) was extended from like molecules (pure liquids) to unlike molecules (dissimilar liquids). A new molecular‐thermodynamic model of interfacial tension (IFT) for liquid‐liquid and solid‐liquid systems was developed in this work, which can predict the surface free energy of solid materials and interfacial energy directly through cohesive energy calculations based on COSMO‐UCE. The applications of this model in prediction of IFT for water‐organic, solid (n‐hexatriacontane, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and octadecyl‐amine monolayer)‐liquid systems have been verified extensively with successful results; which indicates that this is a straightforward and reliable model of surface and interfacial energies through predicting intermolecular interactions based on merely molecular structure (profiles of surface segment charge density), the dimensionless wetting coefficient RA/C can characterize the wetting behavior (poor adhesive (non‐wetting), wetting, spreading) of liquids on the surface of solid materials very well.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBipolar redox organic compounds have been considered as potential next‐generation electrode materials due to their sustainability, low cost and tunable structure. However, their development is still limited by the poor cycling stability and low energy density ascribed to high dissolution during cycling and the low conductivity of organic molecules. Herein, porphyrin‐based bipolar organics of [5,10,15,20‐tetrathienylporphinato] MII (M=2 H, Cu (CuTTP)) are proposed as new stable organic electrodes. Enhanced cycling stability is obtained by a temperature‐induced in situ polymerization strategy of porphyrin molecules. The resulting polymer exhibits excellent cycling stability up to 10 00 cycles even at a high current density (1000 mA g−1) in organic lithium‐/sodium‐based charge storage devices at 50 °C. In a symmetrical cell using CuTTP as both cathode and anode material a discharge capacity of 72 mAh g−1 is achieved after 600 cycles at 1000 mA g−1. This strategy would offer a new approach to developing stable energy storage bipolar materials in organic‐based devices at high temperature.

AbstractBackgroundCytological diagnosis using endoscopic ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (EUS‐FNA) for gastric submucosal spindle cell tumors, such as gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), leiomyomas, and schwannomas, is challenging because of their similar morphological characteristics.Objective and MaterialsTo clarify the cytological differential points, we reviewed the EUS‐FNA cytology specimens of GISTs (37 cases), leiomyomas (11 cases), and schwannomas (4 cases).MethodTwelve cytomorphological features were evaluated: lymphocytes, crushed nuclei, naked spindle nuclei, mast cell, length of the streaming arrangement, cellularity, nuclei at the cluster margin (nuclei located at the periphery of the cell cluster), peripheral feathering (loosely aggregated cells at the margin of a cell cluster tended to taper like feathers), metachromasia, wavy nuclei, fishhook‐type nuclei, and anisonucleosis.ResultsAmong these features, lymphocytes, naked spindle nuclei, length of the streaming arrangement, cellularity, nuclei at the cluster margins, peripheral feathering, and anisonucleosis were statistically significant for differentiation. Based on these findings, we developed an algorithm for cytodiagnosis. The algorithm was taught to four cytologists, and the interobserver agreement and correct diagnosis rates were compared before and after education, which showed a significant improvement.DiscussionThe histological types of gastric submucosal spindle cell tumors can be estimated using this algorithm for EUS‐FNA cytology. Furthermore, this algorithm can be applied for cytological diagnosis at bedside during rapid on‐site evaluation.

Published: January 2023

AbstractAn efficient, one‐step method has been used to access a variety of substituted indenones in a regiospecific manner by Grignard addition to indene‐1,3‐dione. This method provides straightforward access to natural products such as neo‐lignans and isoampelopsin D analogues. Moreover, diallyl indenones have been synthesized and employed as ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) precursors for the facile synthesis of substituted fluorenone derivatives through an RCM‐aromatization sequence.

Published: January 2023

AbstractOne of the main motivations behind the development of alternative fuels is to protect the environment and advance sustainability. Biodiesel, a specific potential substitute, improves the overall performance of diesel engines. Therefore, this work examines how well biodiesel performs in terms of engine fuel consumption and emission efficiency. In the proposed work, diesel and soup nut oil are combined at B30, B60, and B90 ratios. To boost thermal stability, the TBC is also used over the piston. Additionally, Di‐Tertiary Butyl Peroxide, an ignition promotor, is introduced. Different coatings, including yttria‐stabilized zirconia (A2), magnesium‐stabilized zirconia (A1), and gadolinium zirconate, were used in the experimental process (GD). The experimental process is performed with the help of an experimental setup. The results are showed the performance of the proposed biodiesel along with the ignition promoter. The validation of the proposed biodiesel is performed in terms of estimating the parameters such as indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), brake thermal efficiency (BTE), and specific fuel consumption (SFC). Furthermore, the emission level of carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (HC), and oxidization of nitrogen (NOx) are also measured to validate the performance of the proposed bio‐diesel.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThese days software plays an important role in different aspects of our life. As the use of computers, mobile applications and embedded systems have grown, so the energy consumption of software is an increasing concern. Green IT has emerged and it is concern about optimization of software solution with regard to their energy consumption. In spite of the importance of green software development, fewer developers pay attention to software energy consumption and also fewer users care about the consumption of the software that they use. We decide to measure the most popular operating systems such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. Then, we present the energy consumption benchmark of these operating systems and check out their difference in consuming energy. We also measure three different software in each operating system to know which of them consume more energy. The aim of this article is to help software developers to develop energy efficient software that we called that green software and also informed users about the energy consumption of software which they use. Our ultimate goal is helping to preserve our environment by reducing the negative effect of software.

Authors: Yağmur Ayten , Kayakuş Mehmet , Terzioğlu Mustafa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIt is considered that the use of renewable energy sources will replace fossil fuels due to global climate change and accompanying decisions taken by states. In this study, unlike the renewable energy production estimation studies in the literature, a model was created by taking the socioeconomic, environmental and energy time series data of the countries. In the study, Turkey, which did not promise a numerical reduction in greenhouse gas emissions unlike other developing countries but has an increasing energy production from renewable energy sources, was chosen. In the study, the data between 1990 and 2020 were used to receive more realistic results by considering the interval before and after the Kyoto protocol. Artificial neural networks and support vector regression among machine learning methods were used to predict the model. As a result of the study, support vector regression had a 92% and artificial neural networks had a successful predictive power of 89.9% according to the coefficient of determination (R2). In the study, the root mean square error value was 0.071 for artificial neural networks and 0.045 for support vector regression; the mean squared error value was 0.005 for artificial neural networks and 0.002 for support vector regression, which was close to the ideal values. Both methods were statistically successful. It is predicted that the model designed because of these successful results obtained in the study would guide the creation of energy policies and contribute to scientific studies.
Onset of triple diffusive thermosolutal convection in a composite system
Authors: Sumithra Ramakrishna , Komala Basavarajappa 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn a composite system possessing rigid‐rigid boundaries, the significance of thermal diffusion on the onset of triple diffusive convection is analyzed. The Darcy–Brinkman–Rayleigh–Benard model is employed to model the porous media. The regular perturbation methodology has been used to solve the governing equations of the composite system with the Boussinesq approximation. The critical thermal Rayleigh number, which determines the stability of the system, is estimated analytically. A graphical assessment of the impact of multiple physical attributes on the stability of the system is made. It is observed that the Soret parameters and solute Rayleigh numbers have a stabilizing effect, whereas the Darcy number exhibits a destabilizing effect upon the onset of triple diffusive convection in the composite system.

AbstractTo reduce the risk of relapse after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo‐HSCT), there have been continuing efforts to optimize the conditioning regimens. Our study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with the relapse of relapsed/refractory (R/R), high‐risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and high‐risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) post‐transplant and the efficacy of a new conditioning regimen involving decitabine and cladribine. Clinical data of 125 patients with R/R AML, high‐risk AML and high‐risk MDS who underwent allo‐HSCT were collected. In addition, 35 patients with R/R AML, high‐risk AML and high‐risk MDS received treatment with a new conditioning regimen including decitabine and cladribine. Cox regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with OS, RFS and relapse. Among 125 patients who underwent allo‐HSCT, CR before allo‐HSCT and matched sibling donors were independent protective factors for OS. DNMT3A abnormality was an independent risk factor for both relapse and RFS. Among 35 patients who received a new conditioning regimen containing decitabine and cladribine, only six patients relapsed and 1‐year cumulative incidence of relapse was 11.7%. Moreover, this new regimen showed efficient MRD clearance early after allo‐HSCT. The combined decitabine‐ and cladribine‐based conditioning regimen showed a low relapse rate and a high survival without an increased incidence of GVHD or adverse effects and thus has potential for use in allo‐HSCT for R/R AML, high‐risk AML and high‐risk MDS.

ABSTRACTMild or asymptomatic disease is now the dominating presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). However, bone involvement with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and an increased risk of fractures has been demonstrated. Indications for parathyroidectomy (PTX) in mild PHPT have been debated for years. There is a need of long‐term randomized studies comparing PTX with observation without intervention (OBS). Here, we present bone health data from the Scandinavian Investigation of Primary Hyperparathyroidism (SIPH), a randomized controlled trial, comparing PTX to OBS. This study included 191 patients (96 OBS/95 PTX), and 129 patients (64 OBS/65 PTX) were followed for 10 years to the end of study (EOS). BMD was measured with dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA), peripheral fractures were noted, and spine radiographs were obtained for vertebral fracture assessment. There was a significant treatment effect of PTX on BMD compared with OBS for all analyzed compartments, most explicit for the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) (p < 0.001). The mean changes in T‐score from baseline to 10 years were from 0.41 for radius 33% (Rad33) to 0.58 for LS greater in the PTX group than in the OBS group. There was a significant decrease in BMD for all compartments in the OBS group, most pronounced for FN, Rad33, and ultradistal radius (UDR) (p < 0.001). Even though there was a significant treatment effect of PTX compared with OBS, there was only a significant increase in BMD over time for LS (p < 0.001). We found no difference between groups in fracture frequency in the 10‐year cohort, neither with modified intention‐to‐treat (mITT) analysis nor per protocol analysis. Because BMD is only a surrogate endpoint of bone health and PTX did not reduce fracture risk, observation could be considered a safe option for many patients with mild PHPT regarding bone health in a 10‐year perspective. © 2023 The Authors.

How do CEOs make investment decisions in their early years of tenure? Evidence from investment efficiency
Authors: Gan Huiqi 
Published: January 2023

AbstractCareer concerns are escalated during the early years of a CEO's tenure as the market is uncertain about the new CEO's ability. This study examines whether such increased career concerns induce investment inefficiency during the early years of a CEO's tenure in US firms. I find that underinvestment happens in the early years and that the underinvestment problem is most evident when the new CEO is externally appointed and has the low managerial ability. Additional analyses show that the underinvestment problems are more pronounced when firms have a high level of information asymmetry and low financial reporting quality.

BackgroundDeep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) improves motor deficits in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD) patients, but the degree of motor improvement varies across individuals. PD pathology involves the changes of iron spatial distribution in the deep gray matter nuclei.PurposeTo explore the relationship between the iron spatial distribution and motor improvement among PD patients who underwent STN‐DBS surgery in three regions: substantia nigra (SN), STN, and dentate nucleus (DN).Study TypeProspective.SubjectsForty PD patients (49.7 ± 8.8 years, 22 males/18 females) who underwent bilateral STN‐DBS.Field Strength/SequenceA 3 T preoperative three‐dimensional spoiled bipolar‐readout multi‐echo gradient recalled echo and two‐dimensional fast spin echo sequences.AssessmentMovement Disorder Society‐sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (MDS‐UPDRS III) scores were assessed 2–3 days before and 6 months after STN‐DBS. The first‐ and second‐order texture features in regions of interest were measured on susceptibility maps.Statistical TestsIntraclass correlation coefficient was used to determine the consistency of the region of interest volumes delineated by the two raters. Pearson or Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationship between motor improvement after DBS and texture features. A P‐value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsMDS‐UPDRS III scores were reduced by 59.9% after STN‐DBS in 40 PD patients. Motor improvement correlated with second‐order texture parameters in the SN including angular second moment (r = −0.449), correlation (rho = 0.326), sum of squares (r = 0.402), sum of entropy (rho = 0.421), and entropy (r = 0.410). Additionally, DBS outcome negatively correlated with mean susceptibility values in the DN (r = −0.400).Data ConclusionPD patients with a more homogeneous iron distribution throughout the SN or a higher iron concentration in the DN responded worse to STN‐DBS.Level of Evidence2Technical EfficacyStage 1

AbstractZika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito‐borne RNA virus that belongs to the Flaviviridae family. While flavivirus replication is known to occur in the cytoplasm, a significant portion of the viral capsid protein localizes to the nucleus during infection. However, the role of the nuclear capsid is less clear. Herein, we demonstrated SERTA domain containing 3 (SERTAD3) as an antiviral interferon stimulatory gene product had an antiviral ability to ZIKV but not JEV. Mechanistically, we found that SERTAD3 interacted with the capsid protein of ZIKV in the nucleolus and reduced capsid protein abundance through proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, an eight amino acid peptide of SERTAD3 was identified as the minimum motif that binds with ZIKV capsid protein. Remarkably, the eight amino acids synthetic peptide from SERTAD3 significantly prevented ZIKV infection in culture and pregnant mouse models. Taken together, these findings not only reveal the function of SERTAD3 in promoting proteasomal degradation of a specific viral protein but also provide a promising host‐targeted therapeutic strategy against ZIKV infection.
How consumers in different cultural backgrounds prefer advertising in green ads through Hofstede's cultural lens? A cross‐cultural study
Authors: Ruanguttamanun Chutima 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWhen entering foreign markets, effective advertising appeals are usually employed in advertising to convey local consumers how the products and services will satisfy their wants or needs. The purpose of this cross‐cultural study is to investigate the consumers’ differences between a developed economy (USA) and an emerging economy (Thailand) based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions and the advertising appeal in green advertisements. This study investigates the role played by cultural and economic differences on liking advertising appeals in green advertisements which provides new insight into the literature on cross‐cultural studies as well as managerial implications for marketers, especially in Thailand. Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions as a basis for distinguishing cultures, 40 green global advertisements were presented to 40 consumers in Thailand and 40 consumers in the United States. A combination of quantitative and visual content analysis was also used to examine green advertisements and determine the liking of the appeals. Cultural differences in Hofstede's dimensions reflect in advertising appeals preferences. The results indicate that the USA and Thailand preferred similar appeals but in different ranking; these appeals are corporate image, eye‐catching graphic, exaggerated, imaginative, informative, interesting, meaningful, natural, and sad. Possible explanations and implications of the findings are discussed as well as demonstrating the significance of culture on advertisement effectiveness.

ObjectiveTo assess the duration of clinical response after in‐office vocal fold steroid injection (VFSI) for vocal fold (VF) scar.MethodsDemographic and clinical data for in‐office VFSI occurring from 2017 to 2020 were collected. Two Speech‐Language Pathologists (SLPs) used perceptual evaluation of voice and functional scales to evaluate blinded voice and laryngovideostroboscopy (LVS) samples collected pre‐ and post‐injection across multiple timepoints.ResultsBlinded SLP ratings were used for 30 individual VFs undergoing initial injection in 18 patients. Persistent improvement in voice past 6 months was seen in 57% of patients after VFSI. Multiple measures of voice and amplitude, percent vibrating tissue, and closed phase predominance significantly improved at various follow‐up timepoints on average.ConclusionAccounting for patient heterogeneity and disease progression, in‐office VFSI for VF scar is associated with sustained improvement in a subset of patients. Approximately half of patients can expect to experience a lasting improvement in voice. Future studies of larger scale are required to identify patient factors associated with long‐term benefit.Level of Evidence4 Laryngoscope, 133:2333–2339, 2023
