Published: September 2023

AbstractIntroductionExposure to childhood maltreatment may undermine the crucial developmental task of identity formation in adolescence, placing them at risk for developing negative affect. The current study investigated whether COVID‐19‐related stress intensified the indirect link between child maltreatment and adolescents' negative affect through identity confusion.MethodUsing multidimensional assessments of child maltreatment (threat vs. deprivation), the study included a sample of 124 adolescents (Mage = 12.89, SD = 0.79; 52% female) assessed before (January 2018 to March 2020) and during the pandemic (May to October 2020) in Georgia, United States. The majority of the participants were European American (78.8%), followed by African American (11.5%), Hispanic (3.8%), Asian/Pacific Islander (1.0%), and other (4.8%). We used structural equation modeling to test (a) the mediating role of identity confusion in the link between childhood maltreatment and negative affect and (b) whether COVID‐19‐related stress moderated these indirect effects. Simple slopes and Johnson–Neyman plots were generated to probe regions of significant interaction effects.ResultsThreat and deprivation predicted an increase in adolescent identity confusion. Additionally, childhood threat and deprivation were indirectly linked to adolescents' negative affect through increased levels of identity confusion. COVID‐19‐related stress significantly exacerbated the link between identity confusion and negative affect.ConclusionIdentity confusion is a mechanism underlying the link between child maltreatment and the development of negative affect in adolescence. Our results inform prevention and intervention programs that aim to reduce negative affect among adolescents who experience threatening and depriving rearing environments.

AbstractBACKGROUNDLight olefins production greatly influenced by the process conditions. In the present work Al2O3 supported Co‐Ni nanocatalysts were evaluated for production of light olefins. Incipient wetness impregnation procedure was used for catalyst synthesis. Catalysts were characterized for determining the physicochemical properties using various techniques of XRD, SEM, EDS, H2‐TPR, TPD, TEM, XPS, TGA, DSC, FT‐IR, and BET. The influence of process conditions (Pressure, Temperature and H2/CO inlet feed molar ratio) was investigated on the catalytic performance of Co‐Ni/γAl2O3 nanocatalyst toward lower olefins. Temperature, pressure, and feed ratio factors were changed in wide ranges of 250–450 °C, 1–12 bar, and 1–4 respectively. The Response Surface Methodology (RSM) method was employed for modeling and optimization.RESULTSThe optimum process conditions were obtained using the RSM method (T = 383 °C, P = 4 bar, and H2/CO = 1.92). The highest selectivity of light olefinic products and conversion of carbon monoxide and the lowest selectivity toward methane were obtained concurrently under the optimized conditions with desirability of 0.896.CONCLUSIONThe impact of inlet feed ratio, temperature, and pressure factors was investigated and it was found that the performance of the catalyst greatly depends on the operational parameters. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractBACKGROUNDDuring the pulping and bleaching processes, 4‐chloroguaiacol accounts for a large proportion of chlorine containing pollutants. In this study, a heterogeneous extraction method for extracting 4‐chloroguaiacol from the bleaching wastewater by using the intermediate as the solid phase extraction agent is proposed.RESULTSThe solid intermediate with the molar ratio of 4‐chloroguaiacol to calcium 2:1 is firstly prepared. It is used for reacting with the crude 4‐chloroguaiacol in the bleaching wastewater to generate the end solid complex with the molar ratio of 4‐chloroguaiacol to calcium 4:1. It is verified to be that the high‐purity 4‐chloroguaiacol can be released from the simple thermal decomposition of the end solid complex.CONCLUSIONAt an optimum extraction condition including 30 °C reaction temperature, the pH value of 7, using the deionized water as the solvent, the extraction yield and the purity of 4‐chloroguaiacol reached 89.2% and 97.8%. Furthermore, after 15 cycle extraction times, the extraction rate of 4‐chloroguaiacol can still reach 86.3%. The extraction yield and the purity of 4‐chloroguaiacol reached 68.15% and 99.56% when the guaiacol content was lower than 25 mg/L at the bleaching wastewater. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

Published: September 2023

AbstractSwine acute diarrhea syndrome (SADS) is first reported in January 2017 in Southern China. It subsequently causes widespread outbreaks in multiple pig farms, leading to economic losses. Therefore, it is an urgent to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and immune evasion of Swine acute diarrhea syndrome coronavirus (SADS‐CoV). Our research discovered that SADS‐CoV inhibited the production of interferon‐β (IFN‐β) during viral infection. The nonstructural protein 1 (nsp1) prevented the phosphorylation of TBK1 by obstructing the interaction between TBK1 and Ub protein. Moreover, nsp1 induced the degradation of CREB‐binding protein (CBP) through the proteasome‐dependent pathway, thereby disrupting the IFN‐β enhancer and inhibiting IFN transcription. Finally, we identified nsp1‐Phe39 as the critical amino acid that downregulated IFN production. In conclusion, our findings described two mechanisms in nsp1 that inhibited IFN production and provided new insights into the evasion strategy adopted by SADS‐CoV to evade host antiviral immunity.

AbstractTwo novel assays have been developed, iTACT‐hepatitis B core‐related antigen (iTACT‐HBcrAg) and iTACT‐hepatitis B surface antigen (iTACT‐HBsAg) assays. We investigated the longitudinal profiles of iTACT‐HBcrAg‐ and ‐HBsAg in patients with HBsAg seroclearance (SC) (<0.05 IU/mL). This study comprises 60 HBV‐infected patients with HBsAg SC, 27 in chronic hepatitis/liver cirrhosis (CH/LC) group and 33 in inactive carrier (IC) group. Longitudinal profiles of iTACT‐HBcrAg and ‐HBsAg were examined using stored serum samples. The median period from HBsAg SC to iTACT‐HBcrAg loss or to the last observation was longer in the CH/LC group than the IC group (39 vs. −3 months, p = 0.004), but this tendency was not observed in that by iTACT‐HBsAg. Comparing the times of iTACT‐HBcrAg and ‐HBsAg loss, the rate of patients who lost HBcrAg first was significantly higher in the IC group (p = 0.008). The cumulative incidence rate of iTACT‐HBcrAg loss after HBsAg SC was higher in the IC group that the CH/LC group (p = 0.002). Patients in the CH/LC group had higher rates of detectable iTACT‐HBcrAg than those in the IC group after HBsAg SC, suggesting that the presence of HBcrAg possibly contribute to the progression of chronic hepatitis B.

AbstractSaharan soil samples collected in El‐Oued province have been investigated for actinobacteria as a valuable source for the production of bioactive metabolites. A total of 273 isolates were obtained and subjected to antagonistic activity tests against human pathogenic germs. A strain with a broad‐spectrum antimicrobial activity was selected and identified asNocardiopsis dassonvilleiGSBS4, with high sequence similarities toN. dassonvilleisubsp.dassonvilleiTX97886.1 (99%) based on polyphasic taxonomy approach and 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid gene sequence analysis. The GSBS4 ethyl acetate crude extract showed strong antibacterial activity towards pathogenic bacteria andCandida albicans. It inhibited biofilm formation byStaphylococcus aureusand methicillin‐resistantS. aureuswith minimum inhibitory concentrations estimated at 0.144 and 1.15 mg·mL−1, respectively. A 44% biofilm reduction was obtained forS. aureusand 61% forPseudomonas aeruginosa. Furthermore, phenols composition of the crude extract showed a significant dose‐dependent antioxidant activity by α‐diphenyl‐β‐picrylhydrazyl (57.21%) and 2,2′‐azinobis (3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid) (64.29%) radicals scavenging assays. Although no inhibition was obtained on human coronavirus human coronavirus (HCoV) 229E and on model enterovirus (poliovirus 1) infection, a dose‐dependent increase in cell viability of HCoV 229E‐infected cells was noticed as the viability increased from 21% to 37%. Bioassay‐guided fractionation of the crude extract gave a fraction showing antibacterial activity, which was analyzed by liquid chromatography‐electrospray mass spectrometric technique, providing structural features on a major purple metabolite.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe current study focuses on analyzing the effects of supplements containing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on plant growth and rhizospheric bacterial communities. Specifically, the impact of AgNP supplements was assessed on both plant growth promoting traits and bacterial communities in the soil. To do this, a screening process was conducted to select bacteria capable of synthesizing AgNPs through extracellular biosynthesis. UV‐Visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared, X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and field emission scanning electron microscopy all confirmed, produced AgNPs is in agglomerates form. The resulting AgNPs were introduced into soil along with various supplements and their effects were evaluated after 10 days using next generation sequencing (Illumina—16S rDNA V3–V4 region dependent) to analyze changes in bacterial communities. Seed germination, root‐shoot biomass and chlorophyll content were used to assess the growth of the cotton plant, whereas the bacterial ability to promote growth was evaluated by measuring its culturable diversity including traits like phosphate solubilization and indole acetic acid production. The variance in Bray–Curtis β diversity among six selected combinations including control depends largely on the type of added supplements contributing to 95%–97% of it. Moreover, seed germination improves greatly between 63% and 100% at a concentration range of 1.4 to 2.8 mg/L with different types of supplements. Based on the results obtained through this study, it is evident that using AgNPs along with fructose could be an effective tool for promoting Gossypium hirsutum growth and enhancing plant growth traits like profiling rhizospheric bacteria. The results that have been obtained endorse the idea of boosting the growth of rhizospheric bacteria in a natural way when AgNPs are present. Using these supplements in fields that have been contaminated will lead to a better understanding of how ecological succession occurs among rhizospheric bacteria, and what effect it has on the growth of plants.

AbstractElucidating patterns of adult survival rates is key to understanding population dynamics of large mammals. We used data from 7 separate studies of mountain goats (Oreamnos americanus) conducted from 2002 through 2022 in western Washington, USA, to quantify survival rates in relation to key biotic and abiotic factors using known fate models implemented in program MARK. We monitored 324 (206 females, 118 males) radio‐marked mountain goats for 178,339 days. A substantial number of mountain goats in our sample (n = 217) had been translocated from the Olympic Peninsula to the Cascade Mountains on Washington's mainland, providing an added opportunity to examine translocation effects. We adopted a sequential modeling approach, first building a set of models to examine fundamental survival patterns by age, sex, season, study area, and translocated status. We used variables retained from the top model in a second set to investigate relationships between annual survival and local weather covariates hypothesized by previous studies to influence mountain goat behavior, habitat selection, and vital rates. Survival among adult females in spring was slightly lower than other sex and age categories, but seasonal patterns were otherwise not evident. There were significant negative relationships between survival and winter snow depth, an index of the previous year's drought, and mean daily temperature during the previous May, and a positive relationship with previous year's precipitation. Weather effects were similar among resident and translocated animals. By the end of the study period, weather effects had evidently contributed to reductions in mountain goat survival to a level low enough that population stability was unlikely. Because the frequency of droughts and warm spring temperatures are expected to increase with climate change, mountain goat populations in Washington will likely be increasingly challenged as the atmosphere warms.

ObjectiveThis review aims to quantify the pooled functional gain (FG) in different types of hearing loss with the transcutaneous hearing device, Osia (Cochlear, Sydney, Australia) in comparison with the unaided state. Secondary outcomes are patient‐reported outcomes measures (PROMs) and complication rates.Data SourcesMedline, Embase, SCOPUS, Cochrane CENTRAL, PROSPERO and Cochrane Library.Review MethodsSystematic review and meta‐analysis of indexed search terms relating to “Osia,” “Osseointegration,” “Cochlear Implant,” and “Bone‐Anchored Prosthesis” was performed from database inception to September 20, 2022.ResultsOf the 168 studies identified, 14 studies with 15 patient cohorts (n = 314) met inclusion criteria for meta‐analysis. Pooled overall mean FG for all types of hearing loss was 35.0 dB sound pressure level (SPL) (95% confidence interval [CI] 29.12–40.97) compared against unaided hearing. Pooled FG for conductive/mixed hearing loss was 37.7 dB SPL (95% CI 26.1–49.3). Pooled single‐sided deafness (SSD) FG could not be calculated due to the small patient cohort for whom SSD data was reported. There is a trend toward improvements in speech receptiveness threshold, signal to noise ratio, and some PROMs compared with baseline hearing. Early complication rates demonstrate risks similar to other transcutaneous implants, with a low predicted explantation (0.11%, 95% CI 0.00%–1.90%) and wound infection rate (1.92% [95% CI 0.00%–6.17%]). No articles directly comparing transcutaneous devices were identified.ConclusionThe Osia devices demonstrate clear audiologic benefits and a good safety profile for the included patient population. Our study results indicate that frequency‐specific gain, PROMs, and the audiological benefit in single‐sided deafness may be areas for future prospective research. Laryngoscope, 134:1531–1539, 2024

AbstractPurposeNew perspectives on rehabilitation options for inner ear malformations have still been studied in the literature. This study investigated the cognitive, language, and motor skills of auditory brainstem implant (ABI) users in unimodal and bimodal groups.MethodsThe motor competency of the participants was assessed with Bruininks–Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test‐2 Short Form (BOT2 SF). Language performance was evaluated by the test of Early Language Development‐3 and Speech Intelligibility Rating. Word identification, sentence recognition tests, and Categories of Auditory Performance were used to assess auditory perception skills. To examine the cognitive performance, Cancellation Test and Gesell Copy Form were administered. All the tests were conducted in a quiet environment without any distractions.ResultsThe participants were divided into two groups: (1) 17 children in the unimodal group and (2) 11 children in the bimodal (who used a cochlear implant on one side and ABI on the other side) group. There were significant correlations between the chronological age of participants and BOT2 SF total score, cancellation tests, auditory perception tests, and language performance. Similarly, there were significant correlations between the duration of ABI use and auditory perception tests, language performance, cancellation test, and some BOT2 SF subtests (r = −0.47 to −0.60, p < .001). There was no significant difference between the unimodal and bimodal groups in any task (p > .05). However, there were moderate‐to‐strong correlations among the auditory perception tests, cancellation test, language test, and BOT2 SF total score and subtests (r = 0.40 to 0.55, p < .05).ConclusionAlthough there were no significant differences between bimodal and unimodal groups, a holistic approach, which indicates that hearing and balance issues can have broader impacts on a person's physical, emotional, social, and psychological aspects, should be used in the assessment process.Level of EvidenceLevel 4.
Analytical solution for seismic response of deep tunnels covered by an isolation layer subjected to SH waves
Authors: Yu Haitao , Chen Gong 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe paper presented a novel analytical solution to evaluate the seismic‐induced stresses and displacements of tunnels covered by an isolation coating layer subjected to SH waves. The solution is derived based on the assumptions that the ground, isolation coating layer, and liner are linear elastic and in steady‐state motion. The analytical solution is obtained using the Bessel‐Fourier series. Comparisons are made between the seismic responses of tunnels obtained using the proposed analytical solution and those of the simulation results from the FEM software ABAQUS. Additionally, the proposed solution is also compared with the known degraded solution from the literature to validate its accuracy. The influence of various key factors, such as the Young's modulus ratio between the coating layer and the ground, the thickness of the coating layer, and the relative stiffness between the ground and the liner, on the seismic response of tunnels are investigated using the proposed analytical solution.

Published: September 2023

AbstractFriction significantly affects the service life of rubber seals, often leading to their failure. In this study, zinc oxide (ZnO) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were added to silicone rubber (HTV) by mechanical blending to study the friction properties of silicone rubber at low temperature. The addition of nanoparticles reduced the composites' glass transition temperature to −53.47°C. At low temperatures, the rubber's friction coefficient initially decreases before increasing. The original rubber exhibited the highest friction coefficient, whereas the 1/1‐ZnO/LDH/HTV composite had the lowest. There were a lot of pits on the friction surface of the original silicone rubber, but the friction surface of the composites with nano‐particles was smooth without pits, and the wear of 1/1‐ZnO/LDH/HTV composites was 18.4% lower than that of the original rubber. This was because ZnO and LDH formed a physical three‐dimensional network in rubber, which enhanced the intermolecular force, improved the low temperature resistance of composites and enhanced the wear resistance of rubber.
Behavioral responses of field‐collected German cockroaches to pyrethroids and pyrethroid‐formulated insecticides

Published: September 2023

AbstractBACKGROUNDPyrethroids are synthetic insecticides with low mammalian toxicity and broad‐spectrum activity across insects. One major challenge with pyrethroids is their perceived repellency. This perception can influence decisions made by pest control operators, especially when insecticides are used to reduce insect entry into or movement within structures. One major indoor pest that has been repeatedly shown to be repelled by some pyrethroids is the German cockroach, Blattella germanica. However, most experiments evaluating pyrethroid repellency in the German cockroach have used end‐point assays, which do not provide information on the movement that led to the final position. Therefore, we evaluated the kinetic behavioral response of field‐collected German cockroaches to five pyrethroid‐based products and their active ingredients (A.I.) in open behavioral arenas using advanced video tracking software. In addition, in an effort to compare our free‐moving experiments with end‐point assays, we evaluated sheltering behavior using two‐choice harborage arrestment assays where German cockroaches were provided a choice between pyrethroid‐treated and untreated shelters.RESULTSAll pyrethroid‐formulated products and their respective A.I.'s failed to affect field‐collected German cockroach movement behavior in free‐moving assays, while positive controls (DEET, corn mint oil) resulted in reduced time spent by German cockroaches in treated areas. However, despite their willingness to move over pyrethroids‐treated surfaces, field‐collected German cockroaches displayed a reduced propensity to arrest on pyrethroids treated tents.CONCLUSIONWhile most pyrethroids/pyrethroid‐formulated products affected German cockroach arrestment, pyrethroids and pyrethroid‐formulated products failed to change German cockroach movement behavior in free‐moving assays. These results indicate the pyrethroids tested act as contact irritants rather than true‐spatial repellents on field‐collected German cockroaches. This distinction is critical to refining pest management strategies involving pyrethroids. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.
