Development of Sci‐Tech Journals in China Stimulated by the China Sci‐Tech Journal Excellence Action Plan
Authors: Li Chuwei , Li Yaping , Ding Zuoqi 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis study aims to evaluate the influence of the China Sci‐Tech Journal Excellence Action Plan (CJEAP) on the development of Chinese science and technology (sci‐tech) journals. The performance of bibliometric indicators of these journals before and after the implementation of this plan is examined. In particular, a discipline richness algorithm is employed to evaluate whether and how the funding plan affected the disciplinal coverage of publications. The results show that the influence of CJEAP funding in sci‐tech journals published in China is not evenly distributed. Highly funded journals appear to have expanded both the range of research areas and disciplines, and the article volume, while poorly funded journals mainly focus on attracting manuscripts with higher scientific impact but display less expanded disciplinal range. New journals funded by CJEAP are characterised with high scientific levels focusing on highly sophisticated fields, but initially featuring a relatively small article volume. Notably, a positive relationship exists between the international collaboration rate and citation ranking score, and thus the expansion of article volume with manuscripts mainly from Chinese scholars may not be conducive for enhancing the international influence of journals published in China. In summary, our results indicate that CJEAP funding has elicited powerful influence in promoting sci‐tech journals published in China, suggesting continuous funding support should be both necessary and efficient for further promoting the development of sci‐tech journals published in China.

Published: January 2025

AbstractNon‐communicable diseases (NCD) are associated with inflammation and oxidative stress which is further associated with omega‐6 (ω6) and omega‐3 (ω3) fatty acid (FA) imbalance favoring ω6 FA. By improving ω3 FA consumption, this imbalance can be altered to control NCD. Previously we have reported blends of flaxseed oil (FSO, ω3 FA) with palm olein (PO) or coconut oil (CO) were thermo‐oxidatively stable with good storage stability and could improve ω6:ω3 ratio in cell lines. In the present study safety of these blends along with their efficacy to improve tissue FA composition particularly ω6:ω3 ratio was evaluated in Wistar rats. Institutional ethics committee approval was obtained initially. Wistar rats were supplemented with individual oils or blends (FSO with PO or CO, 20:80 by volume, 1.0 mL/day/200 gm body weight) for 3 months. Throughout the study period, there were no adverse effect of blends on feed intake and body weight gain. After 3 months, blood and serum were subjected for hematological, biochemical assessment. Vital organs were harvested for histopathological and FA composition investigations. Hematological, biochemical, and tissue histopathological parameters were comparable with Control (group receiving only normal diet). Interestingly serum lipid profile was improved by the blend supplementation. Except brain, FA composition was altered in liver, heart, adipose tissue, and RBC with lowering of ω6:ω3 ratio but there was no favorable effect on inflammatory markers and adipokines in the blend supplemented groups. Thus, to conclude, FSO blends with PO or CO were able to lower tissue ω6:ω3 ratio without adverse effects.

Evolutionary Game Analysis of Complex Networks in Enterprise Green Technology Innovation From a Prospect Theory Perspective
Authors: Guancen Wu , Xuan Chen , Xing Niu 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTGreen technological innovation in enterprises is a key driving force for achieving sustainable development and industrial transformation. However, how enterprises formulate effective innovation strategies by integrating subjective factors with objective market conditions within complex industrial networks remains an area requiring further exploration. This study aims to construct a complex network evolution model based on prospect theory and examines how subjective factors, such as reference points, risk preferences, and loss aversion, influence the adoption of green technology innovation in different network environments. It further explores how network characteristics, including topology, size, and node degree, affect the diffusion of innovation. Numerical analysis results indicate that in scale‐free networks, lowering reference points for enterprise gains, reducing loss aversion, increasing risk preference, expanding network size, and raising average node degree generally promote higher adoption of green technology innovation. In small‐world networks, the dependence on reference points is relatively lower, risk preference and average node degree demonstrate more complex impacts. Additionally, a moderate rewiring probability can enhance green technology innovation adoption in small‐world networks. These findings provide new insights and practical implications for understanding the driving mechanisms of green technological innovation in enterprises. They further emphasize the importance of government interventions tailored to the specific characteristics of industrial networks to effectively facilitate the diffusion of green technological innovation.

Abstract

Objective
This research collates numerous data sets, including long-term fisheries monitoring surveys, predators, water quality, and fishing pressure, to explore possible biotic and abiotic correlates that may be hindering the recovery of a Winter Flounder Pseudopleuronectes americanus subpopulation.

Methods
Age-0 (i.e., young-of-year) Winter Flounder and spawning contingents within a single coastal lagoon, Point Judith Pond (Rhode Island), were evaluated across two decades (1999–2020) to determine how potential ecological drivers and harvest have contributed to the subpopulation's state. Available data sets describing predators of both age-0 and adult Winter Flounder, fecal coliform measurements, water temperature, and commercial and recreational harvest were run in a correlative analysis with age-0 and adult Winter Flounder.

Result
Despite decreases in fishing mortality within the pond, there has been no recovery within the Point Judith Pond subpopulation—a shared response across the stock unit. Although it is possible that an increase in predators of eggs, age-0 Winter Flounder, and spawning adults may be hindering the recovery of this subpopulation, other characteristics, such as water quality, habitat degradation, and prey availability, may also be important contributing factors. The survival rates of age-0 Winter Flounder through their first summer appear to have been relatively unchanged over the course of the research, but there has been a contraction in both the spawning period and the maximum size of adult female Winter Flounder in the study area.

Conclusion
By the time a fishing moratorium was implemented in Point Judith Pond, Winter Flounder abundance was already below time series historic minimums. With fishing pressure seemingly no longer regulating population size, other management strategies must be developed to address natural mortality and habitat degradation.

ABSTRACTPolyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers have potential importance in industrial applications. In this study, three‐dimensional (3D) net‐structured PVA nanofibers are successfully fabricated using the spray‐freeze‐drying (SFD) technique for the first time. At first, different concentrations of PVA solutions from 0.001 to 5 wt% are applied to prepare PVA nanofibers using liquid nitrogen at −196°C by the SFD method. These nanofibers are characterized by scanning electron microscopy for morphological analysis, photo ruler software for diameter measurement, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry for thermal stability and crystallinity, as well as nitrogen adsorption isotherms and pore size distribution curves for specific surface area and porous surface quality. Prepared SFD nanofibers with finer nano diameters, fewer beads, more regular 3D net‐structures and without any massive blocks are obtained from 0.05 to 1 wt%. These are compared with the nanofibers prepared by the freeze‐drying (FD) technique. The SFD method shows better results than the FD method in respect to fiber morphology, finer nanoscale diameter, crystallinity, specific surface area, and surface porous property. The best results are obtained from the nanofibers fabricated by the SFD method at 0.1 wt% concentration. Finally, the findings of this work open the opportunities for potential industrial applications and further development of PVA nanofibers.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme responsible for the inactivation and decrease in acetylcholine in the cholinergic pathway, has been considered an attractive target for small‐molecule drug discovery in Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. In the present study, a series of TZD derivatives were designed, synthesized, and studied for drug likeness, blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability, and adsorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET). Additionally, docking studies of the designed compounds were performed on AChE. Additionally, all the TZD derivatives (CHT1‐5) showed an acceptable affinity for AChE inhibition, and the results showed convincing binding modes in the active site of AChE. Among them, 5‐(4‐methoxybenzylidene) thiazolidine‐2,4‐dione (CHT1) was identified as the most potent AChE inhibitor (IC50 of 165.93 nM) with the highest antioxidant activity. Following the exposure of PC12 cells to Aβ1‐42 (100 μM), a marked reduction in cell survival was observed. Pretreatment of PC12 cells with TZD derivatives had a neuroprotective effect and significantly enhanced cell survival in response to Aβ‐induced toxicity. Western blotting analysis revealed that CHT1 (5 and 8 μM) downregulated p‐Tau and HSP70 expression levels. The results indicate that CHT1 is a promising and effective AchE‐I that could be utilized as a powerful candidate against AD.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThis work investigates the effect of metal mesh reinforcement on the low‐velocity impact (LVI) resistance and post‐LVI tensile properties of bolted‐joint glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP). With the self‐designed fixtures, a total of nine different specimen types were tested, varying in stacking sequences and configurations. The analysis of the displacement‐force curves, damage morphology, and the progression strain contour captured by the digital image correlation (DIC) technology revealed that the incorporation of metal mesh disperses impact energy, and alters the stress distribution during tensile loading, thus, the compressive stress above the bolt hole is partially taken up by the tensile force below. Specifically, under an incident energy of 9 J, the metal mesh‐reinforced ply A specimens show a 10.17% increase in maximum contact force and a 36.63% enhancement in tensile ultimate strength compared to the unreinforced specimens.Highlights

Published: January 2025

AbstractTo deal with the severe issue of non‐degradable “white pollution”, it is essential to use cheap and readily available biomass fillers and biodegradable polymers to prepare green plastics with good compatibility and excellent comprehensive properties. In this work, polybutylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate (PBAT) as the matrix, and polycaprolactone‐based polyurethane prepolymers (PCLPU) as compatibilizer were used to prepare bio‐composite materials with a high husk powder content. SEM results indicated that a compatible interface structure had been successfully established. The compatibility of the composite materials was achieved through novel interface structures with physical crosslinking and urethane bonds. Furthermore, compared with the control without compatibilizer, a significant increase in elongation at break from 2.01% to 31.98% was demonstrated, indicating a nearly 15‐fold improvement. A notable increase in impact strength from 3.33 to 11.67 KJ/m2 was observed, suggesting that the toughness and strength were enhanced by adding polyurethane prepolymer. Furthermore, it was revealed through thermogravimetric and water resistance tests that the addition of PCLPU enhanced the thermal stability and hydrophobicity of the composite material. The biomass content of composite materials can reach as high as 80%, significantly reducing their cost.Highlights

AbstractThe study reveals the dynamic impact damage resistance and energy absorption of oxygen/argon/nitrogen multiple plasma modified ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber reinforced composites. The interface bonding properties and impact resistance of the composite were studied by microsphere debonding test, low‐velocity and high‐velocity impact test. The modified parameters are optimized based on quadratic polynomial equation. The impact resistance of the composite was evaluated from the aspects of ballistic limit velocity, failure mode and energy dissipation mechanism. The results showed that compared with untreated composites, the depth of dents and damage area of multiple plasma modified composites were reduced by 43.53% and 11.73%, respectively. The energy absorption and limit velocity of high‐velocity impact were increased by 14.64% and 25.58%, respectively. The modified composites formed an energy dissipation mechanism dominated by fiber breakage. The impact damage resistance and energy absorption of UHMWPE fiber reinforced composites were enhanced with multiple plasma modification.Highlights

Published: January 2025

AbstractAdhesively bonded techniques effectively fuse the structural components in an assembly in aerospace applications. The co‐bonding is more effective than secondary bonding for joining fuselage frames to skins, wing ribs, and spars to skin joints. The flexural behavior and failure analysis of a carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composite single‐lap joint is one crucial factor in aerospace applications. This research involved the fabrication of co‐bonded carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composite single‐lap joints utilizing the vacuum bag hand lay‐up method, incorporating geometric modification techniques, including interleaved and covered lamination. The flexural strength was examined through a three‐point bending test. The results indicate that the secondary bonded with covered lamination techniques has attained the maximum flexural strength compared to others. The values are 80% higher than the neat secondary bonded joints. Moreover, the carbon fiber‐reinforced polymer composite single lap joint samples were examined for failure analysis using the ASTM D5573 standard. Furthermore, these geometric modifications in CFRP composite joints confirmed the significant enhancement in experimental results with less than 5% error rates.Highlights

AbstractBackgroundInfections caused by extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase‐producing Enterobacterales (ESBL‐E) are increasing in the United States. Although many risk factor scoring tools exist, many are specific to bloodstream isolates and may not represent all patient populations. The purpose of this study was to create and validate an institution‐specific scoring tool for select ESBL‐E of non‐urinary origin based on previously identified risk factors.MethodsThis retrospective, case–control analysis included inpatient adults at an academic medical center from July 2021 through August 2023 with a documented ESBL‐E or non‐ESBL‐E infection of non‐urinary origin. Patients with ESBL‐E isolates were matched in a 1:1 ratio to non‐ESBL‐E isolates by organism and specimen type. Points for each risk factor were assigned by dividing their respective regression coefficient by half of the smallest regression coefficient and rounding to the nearest integer (prior ESBL‐E within the past 12 months: 6 points, urinary catheter: 3 points, central venous catheter: 2 points, cirrhosis: 2 points). Sensitivities, specificities, positive predictive values (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV) were calculated for each score, and discriminatory power was assessed via the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)‐area under the curve (AUC).ResultsOf the 1139 identified cultures, 140 patients met the criteria for inclusion into the ESBL‐E case arm, thus 140 patients with non‐ESBL‐E cultures were matched as controls. Baseline characteristics were relatively similar between the groups. A score of 0 was associated with low risk of ESBL‐E (PPV 0.31, NPV 0.36), whereas scores between 2 and 5 were considered moderate risk (PPV 0.56, NPV 0.55), and scores ≥6 were associated with high risk (PPV 0.91, NPV 0.56). The ROC curve AUC was 0.705.ConclusionsThe majority of ESBL‐E risk factor scoring tools are specific to isolates causing bloodstream infections. This institution‐specific scoring tool may be used to tailor empiric antimicrobial regimens and decrease unnecessary exposure to carbapenems in non‐ESBL‐E infections of non‐urinary origin.
