Published: May 2023

Social Impact StatementThe importance of urban horticulture, a practice of growing plants in an urban environment, is increasingly recognized. It is widely acknowledged that such initiatives contribute towards liveable, sustainable, and resilient cities. Based on Singapore as a case example, this study highlights how urban horticulture programs, informed by research and implemented at a national level, bring about important benefits to urban dwellers including health and well‐being, and social cohesion through people and plant interactions. They support Singapore's vision to be a City in Nature, in addition to promoting food security. The experience in Singapore holds useful lessons for other cities.SummaryOver the past few decades, there has been widespread recognition of the importance of urban vegetation to support cities' goals to be liveable, sustainable, and resilient to disturbances brought about by climate change. In this opinion article, we further highlight the importance of urban horticulture and its role in fostering the vision of Singapore to be a green city. Through the discussion of four national level programs, we illustrate how urban horticulture initiatives contributed to the social imperative to cultivate community ownership of green estates, community ties, and interest in horticulture. Community gardens offer distinct platforms for people to get together. Allotment gardens in parklands enable individuals to engage with nature through the various gardening activities and reap produce. The Gardening with Edibles program encourages home gardening through provision of resources. Lastly, specially designed therapeutic horticulture programs engage target groups to receive benefits from the facilitated nature‐based activities. The involvement of relevant governmental agencies, driven by taking an expanded view of urban horticulture targeted at delivering social objectives and achieving the environmental and ecological objectives of city greening, has contributed to the growth and expansion of the initiatives.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundLocally recurrent prostate cancer following primary external beam radiotherapy without distant metastasis is a challenging problem, with no current consensus on the optimal management of these patients. Traditional whole‐gland salvage treatments offered up to a 50% 5‐year disease‐free survival rate but with troubling levels of risk for significant complications. Recent progress in advanced imaging techniques has allowed a more accurate selection of patients with local‐only recurrence and a selection of patients that may be suitable for newer partial‐gland salvage treatments that may reduce late complications.MethodsThis article reviews advances in patient selection and provides an overview of whole‐ and partial‐gland salvage results from selected recent meta‐analyses, multi‐institutional series, and studies from centers of excellence for these treatment approaches.ResultsSalvage radical prostatectomy produces 5‐year relapse‐free survival (RFS) rates in the 50%–60% range with severe gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity in < 2% but severe genitourinary (GU) toxicity in 15%–23% of patients. The whole‐gland options of high and low dose rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiation therapy appear to offer similar 5‐year control rates, with low severe GU and GI toxicity rates of 4%–8% and <2%, respectively. Cryotherapy and high‐intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) offer similar 5‐year RFS rates but carry significant risks for severe GU and GI toxicity in the range of 10%–27% and <2%, respectively. Early results of partial‐gland salvage techniques in selected patients appear promising, with 3‐year RFS rates of 48%–72% and rare grade 3 toxicity.ConclusionIt is important to understand the relative effectiveness and risks of the various treatment options to effectively counsel patients who face this distressing clinical situation. Whole‐gland salvage options offer the possibility of long‐term control but with significant risks of severe toxicity. Emerging data for the partial‐gland salvage options in appropriately selected patients may offer hope of reasonable control rates with reduced severe toxicity.
Missing data interpolation and multi‐sensors integration and its application in accelerated degradation data
Authors: Wang Changxi , Wu Tong , Wang Ting , Li Kang 
Published: May 2023

AbstractMultiple sensors are commonly used for accelerated degradation monitoring. Since different sensors may be sensitive at different stages of the accelerated degradation process and each sensor dataset may contain only partial information of the unit degradation, then integration approaches of the accelerated degradation data from multiple sensors can effectively improve degradation modeling and life prediction accuracy. We present a non‐parametric approach that assigns weights to each sensor based on the dynamic clustering of the sensors' observations. Missing data are common in degradation data acquisition, especially when multiple sensors are used. We provide two approaches for data interpolation: the nonlinear Brownian bridge and the inverse Gaussian bridge when the underlying degradation paths follow the Brownian motion process and inverse Gaussian process, respectively. The stochastic bridges capture the nonlinearity and uncertainties of the degradation processes. The data integration model and stochastic bridge models are validated with real accelerated fatigue crack growth data monitored with multiple NDT sensors. The proposed models provide an accurate accelerated degradation path and reliability prediction.

AbstractHomogeneous and nanometric metal clusters with unique electronic structures are promising for catalysis, however, common synthesis techniques for metal clusters suffer from large size and even metal nanocrystals attributing to their high surface energy and unsaturated configurations. Herein, a generalized rapid annealing strategy for synthesizing a series of supported metal clusters as superior catalysts is developed. Remarkably, TiO2 supported platinum nanoclusters (Pt NC/TiO2) exhibits the excellent catalytic activity to realize phenol hydrogenation under mild conditions. The complete phenol conversion rate and 100% selectivity toward KA oil are achieved in aqueous solution at room temperature and normal pressure. Semi‐continuous scale up production of KA oil is successfully performed under mild conditions. Such excellent performance mainly originates from the partial reconstruction of Pt NC/TiO2 in aqueous phenol solution. Considering that the phenol can be produced from lignin, this study underpins a facile, sustainable, and economical route to synthesize nylon from biomass.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe ability of carrier selective contact is mainly determined by the surface passivation and work function for dopant‐free materials applied in crystalline silicon (c‐Si) solar cells, which have received considerable attention in recent years. In this contribution, a novel electron‐selective material, lanthanide terbium trifluoride (TbFx), with an ultra‐low work function of 2.4 eV characteristic, is presented, allowing a low contact resistivity (ρc) of ≈3 mΩ cm2. Additionally, the insertion of ultrathin passivated SiOx layer deposited by PECVD between TbFx and n‐Si resulted in ρc only increase slightly. SiOx/TbFx stack eliminated fermi pinning between aluminum and n‐type c‐Si (n‐Si), which further enhanced the electron selectivity of TbFx on full‐area contacts to n‐Si. Last, SiOx/TbFx/Al electron‐selective contacts significantly improves the open circuit voltage (Voc) for silicon solar cells, but rarely impacts the short circuit current (Jsc) and fill factor (FF), thus champion efficiency cell achieved approaching 22% power conversion efficiency (PCE). This study indicates a great potential for using lanthanide fluorides as electron‐selective material in photovoltaic devices.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis paper describes a simple, two‐steps chemical pathway to obtain bimetallic carbide nanoparticles (NPs) of general formula MxM″yC, also called η‐carbides. This process allows for a control of the chemical composition of metals present in the carbides (M = Co and M″ = Mo or W). The first step involves the synthesis of a precursor consisting of a network of octacyanometalates. The second step consists in a thermal degradation of the previously obtained octacyanometalates networks under neutral atmosphere (Ar or N2). It is shown that this process results in the formation of carbide NPs with diameter of ≈ 5nm, and the stoichiometries Co3M’3C, Co6M’6C, Co2M’4C for the CsCoM’ systems.

AbstractThe current immunotherapy strategies for triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) are greatly limited due to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Immunization with cancer vaccines composed of tumor cell lysates (TCL) can induce an effective antitumor immune response. However, this approach also has the disadvantages of inefficient antigen delivery to the tumor tissues and the limited immune response elicited by single‐antigen vaccines. To overcome these limitations, a pH‐sensitive nanocalcium carbonate (CaCO3) carrier loaded with TCL and immune adjuvant CpG (CpG oligodeoxynucleotide 1826) is herein constructed for TNBC immunotherapy. This tailor‐made nanovaccine, termed CaCO3@TCL/CpG, not only neutralizes the acidic TME through the consumption of lactate by CaCO3, which increases the proportion of the M1/M2 macrophages and promotes infiltration of effector immune cells but also activates the dendritic cells in the tumor tissues and recruits cytotoxic T cells to further kill the tumor cells. In vivo fluorescence imaging study shows that the pegylated nanovaccine could stay longer in the blood circulation and extravasate preferentially into tumor site. Besides, the nanovaccine exhibits high cytotoxicity in 4T1 cells and significantly inhibits tumor growth of tumor‐bearing mice. Overall, this pH‐sensitive nanovaccine is a promising nanoplatform for enhanced immunotherapy of TNBC.
Surface Reconstruction of Covellite CuS Nanocrystals for Enhanced OER Catalytic Performance in Alkaline Solution

Published: May 2023

AbstractOxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the important half‐reactions in energy conversion equipment such as water‐spitting devices, rechargeable metal‐air batteries, and so on. It is beneficial to develop efficient and low‐cost catalysts that understand the reaction mechanism of OER and analyze the reconstruction phenomenon of transition metal sulfide. Interestingly, copper sulfide and cuprous sulfide with the same components possess different reconstruction behaviors due to their different metal ion valence states and different atomic arrangement modes. Because of a unique atomic arrangement sequence and certain cationic defects, the reconstruction phenomenon of CuS nanomaterials are that S2− is firstly oxidized to SO42− and then Cux+ is converted into CuO via Cu(OH)2. In addition, the specific “modified hourglass structure” of CuS with excellent conductivity is easier to produce intermediates. Compared with Cu2S, CuS exhibits excellent OER activity with a lower overpotential of 192 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and remarkable electrochemical stability in 1.0 m KOH for 120 h. Herein, this study elucidates the reconstruction modes of CuS and Cu2S in the OER process and reveals that CuS has a stronger CuS bond and a faster electronic transmission efficiency due to “modified hourglass structure,” resulting in faster reconstruction of CuS than Cu2S.
Advanced nanoengineering strategies endow high‐performance layered transition‐metal oxide cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries

Published: May 2023

AbstractConsidering the abundance and low price of sodium, sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs) have shown great potential as an alternative to existing lithium‐based batteries in large‐scale energy storage systems, including electric automobiles and smart grids. Cathode materials, which largely decide the cost and the electrochemical performance of the full SIBs, have been extensively studied. Among the reported cathodes, layered transition‐metal oxides (LTMOs) are regarded as the most extremely promising candidates for the commercial application of the SIBs owing to their high specific capacity, superior redox potential, and suitable scalable preparation. Nevertheless, irreversible structural evolution, sluggish kinetics, and water sensitivity are still the critical bottlenecks for their practical utilization. Nanoengineering may offer an opportunity to address the above issues by increasing reactivity, shortening diffusion pathways, and strengthening structural stability. Herein, a comprehensive summary of the modification strategies for LTMOs is presented, emphasizing optimizing the structure, restraining detrimental phase transition, and promoting diffusion kinetics. This review intends to facilitate an in‐depth understanding of structure–composition–property correlation and offer guidance to the further development of the LTMO cathodes for next‐generation energy storage systems.
Enriching preservice teachers' translanguaging stance and practices toward emergent bilingual learners through virtual professional development
Authors: King Nicole , Song Kim , Child Greg 
Published: May 2023

AbstractUnderstanding and affirming the assets of emerging bilingual learners (EBLs) and resources are often not part of preservice teacher (PST) preparation, particularly for preservice secondary teachers (Newman et al., 2010). The authors of this article designed two Grand Seminars to support PSTs to begin to develop a translanguaging mindset and to help them to apply what they have acquired to content language teaching through reading and reflection on The Book of Unknown Americans. The purpose of the seminars was to prepare PSTs with equity‐ and asset‐ based mindsets and practices to support EBLs, such as translanguaging. This study focuses on how the PSTs began to take up translanguaging as a mindset, or stance, yet required more time and development to engage in translanguaging as a pedagogy. One research question guided the design, presentation, and analysis of the data: In what ways do PSTs manifest a translanguaging stance? Implications for TESOL and all educators are provided to support PST understanding of EBL demography at their practicum placements and its connection to pedagogy.
Outward foreign investment by transnational entrepreneurs: Insights from emerging economies
Authors: Pittz Thomas G. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis research considers how transnational entrepreneurs in emerging economies identify and develop opportunities for investment into international ventures. Specifically, this study seeks to identify common drivers for outward investment by transnational entrepreneurs from their country of origin (Brazil and India) to their adopted country (the US). Findings indicate three common drivers of this type of internationalization: formal education, effectual logic, and the leveraging of perceived market differences. Furthermore, the data show that entrepreneurs prefer a gradual process of investment rather than a large‐scale initial investment during the exploitation of international opportunities in the adopted country. The results of this study have important practical implications and are valuable additions to the scholarly understanding of the growing field of transnational entrepreneurship.
Neolithic Transitions: Diffusion of People or Diffusion of Culture?
Authors: Fort Joaquim 
Published: May 2023

AbstractWe cannot predict the behavior of a single person using mathematical equations. However, if we consider many individuals, we can observe certain regularities in the overall reproductive and dispersive behavior of human populations. This is not surprising because the same happens with non-human species. Indeed, the latter are routinely studied by many ecologists who describe biological invasions by means of mathematical models. Here we do the same for a specific phenomenon in human prehistory: the Neolithic transition, i.e., the shift from hunting-gathering into farming economics. The spread of the Neolithic across Europe from the Near East has been well-established by archeologists. We review models that attempt to estimate to what extent it was due to demic diffusion (dispersal of farming populations) and/or to cultural diffusion (incorporation of hunter-gatherers into the farming populations). We also discuss recent, similar work on Neolithic transitions in other continents, which has led to the proposal of several general laws of Neolithic spread.
Die Etablierung von Deutungen und Wiedereingliederungsperspektiven
Authors: Gonon Anna 
Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungDie Etablierung kollektiv geteilter Deutungen und die Beurteilung von Wiedereingliederungsperspektiven im Betrieb sollen als sozialer Prozess analysiert werden, der sich innerhalb einer Situation im Sinne der EC vollzieht. Damit sind nicht einzelne Interaktionssituationen gemeint, sondern über den Zeithorizont einzelner Interaktionen hinausgehende „komplexe Konstellationen von Objekten, kognitiven Formaten, Koordinationserfordernissen (Problemen), institutionellen Arrangements (wie Organisationen), Personen und Konzepten“ (Diaz-Bone 2018, S. 375). Ziel ist es, die Konstellationen, unter denen das Arbeitsvermögen und die Wiedereingliederungsperspektiven beurteilt werden, „aus der Sicht der je in sie involvierten Akteure zu rekonstruieren“, um eine „pragmatische Innenansicht der Situation“ zu gewinnen (ebd., S. 377).
Krankheit ohne Krankschreibung

Published: May 2023

ZusammenfassungDie bisherige Analyse legte den Fokus auf diejenigen Beschäftigten des Samples, deren Arbeitsunfähigkeit durch eine ärztliche Krankschreibung attestiert und mit einem längeren Ausfall am Arbeitsplatz verbunden war. Aufgrund des Stigmas kann man davon ausgehen, dass ein Teil der Beschäftigten mit psychischen Erkrankungen diese am Arbeitsplatz nicht offenlegen (vgl. Abschn. 2.3.4). Wegen der Vermittlung des Feldzugangs durch das BGM habe ich im Rahmen meiner Forschung nur Zugang zu Personen erhalten, deren Erkrankungen im Betrieb bekannt sind. Dies stellt eine Einschränkung dieser Studie dar.
A spinorial double copy for $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 0 supergravity
Authors: Armstrong-Williams Kymani , White Chris D. 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The Weyl double copy is a formula relating solutions of scalar, gauge and gravity theories, and is related to the BCJ double copy for scattering amplitudes. The latter relates Yang-Mills theory to $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 0 supergravity, where an axion and dilaton are present in addition to the graviton. However, the traditional Weyl double copy applies only to pure gravity solutions, such that it remains to be seen whether or not it can be extended to the full spectrum of $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 0 supergravity. We examine this question using recently developed twistor methods, showing that some sort of double copy formula for $$ \mathcal{N} $$
N
= 0 supergravity is indeed possible for certain solutions. However, it differs both from the traditional Weyl double copy form, and recent conjectures aimed at generalising the Weyl double copy to non-vacuum solutions.
