Traumatic brain injury and mental health outcomes among recently incarcerated men
Authors: Fahmy Chantal , Testa Alexander , Jackson Dylan B. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study examined the association between experiencing a traumatic brain injury (TBI) before or during incarceration and several postrelease negative mental health consequences in a cohort of men recently released from prison. The goal of the study was to explicate the variety of mental health–related issues incurring a TBI has on one's ability to successfully reintegrate back into society following incarceration. Using data from the LoneStar Project, we used ordinary least squares regression and logistic regression to assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms, stress, trauma flashbacks, and psychosis in a representative sample of men released from Texas prisons (N = 498) approximately 9 months post–prison release. Recently released men with a history of head injury exhibited higher levels of depression, B = 0.204, 95% CI [.071, .337]; stress, B = 0.266, 95% CI [.116, .416]; experiencing trauma‐related flashbacks, odds ratio (OR) = 2.950, 95% CI [1.740, 5.001]; and psychosis, OR = 3.093, 95% CI [1.601, 5.975], compared to their non–head‐injured counterparts. TBIs—whether sustained before or during incarceration—pose significant risks for adverse mental health outcomes, particularly for recently released individuals during the already challenging and strained period of reintegration.

AbstractWith the advent of artificial intelligence and unmanned driving, it is an inevitable trend to provide laser‐driven adaptive lighting with super‐brightness, high penetration, and high spatial resolution; one of the best solutions is to pump pixelated phosphor converters by laser diodes (LDs). However, achieving high‐performance pixelated phosphor converters remains a great challenge due to the large size of commercial phosphor particles. In this study, promising pixelated phosphor films are proposed to be fabricated by producing arrayed holes in the Ag substrate with the laser direct writing technology and then filling the holes with the mixture of phosphor particles and the heat‐resisting inorganic glue. A strong thermal transfer field grid is built in Y3Al5O12:Ce3+‐pixelated‐film@Ag, which can withstand a high luminance saturation threshold of over 18.08 W mm−2 pumped by blue LDs. The maximum luminous flux density is ≈1300 lm mm−2, and the luminance is 3.36 × 107 cd m−2 of the white pixel light with excellent uniformity. Further, based on this fabrication strategy, the full‐color‐pixelated‐film@Ag is successfully prepared for the first time. The realization of laser‐driven white pixel light and full‐color pixel light shows an interesting application in intelligent adaptive lighting, and this study paves an avenue for designing pixelated phosphor converters.

AbstractTo support and move toward a sustainable bioeconomy, the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using renewable biomass has acquired more attention. However, expensive biomass pretreatment and low yield of PHAs pose significant disadvantages in its large‐scale production. To overcome such limitations, the most recent advances in metabolic engineering strategies used to develop high‐performance strains that are leading to a new manufacturing concept converting biomass to PHAs with co‐products such as amino acids, proteins, biohydrogen, biosurfactants, and various fine chemicals are critically summarized. This review article presents a comprehensive roadmap that highlights the integrated biorefinery strategies, lifecycle analysis, and techno‐economic assessment for sustainable and economic PHAs production. Finally, current and future challenges that must be addressed to transfer this technology to real‐world applications are reviewed.

AbstractFor a split semisimple algebraic groupHwith its split maximal torusS, let be the restriction homomorphism of the Chow rings of the classifying spaces ofHandS, whereWis the Weyl group. A constraint on the image off, given by the Steenrod operations, has been applied to the spin groups in a previous paper. Here, we describe and apply to the spin groups another constraint, which is given by the reductive envelopes ofH. We also recover in this way some older results on orthogonal groups.

Published: July 2023

AbstractAn analytical solution of unsaturated poroelastic transversely isotropic (TI) half‐space under surface time‐harmonic load with consideration of compressibility, viscous and inertial coupling of soil skeleton, pore‐water and pore‐air, as well as the capillary pressure is investigated in this paper. Firstly, the governing equations of unsaturated TI soil are established in cylindrical coordinate system. Then, the displacement function and operator theory are introduced to decouple the general solution. Secondly, Fourier expansion and Hankel transform are applied to the circumferential and radial coordinates, and the integral general solutions of soil skeleton displacement, pore‐water displacement and pressure, pore‐air displacement and pressure, and the total stress components are derived in the transformed domain. Combined with boundary conditions and continuity conditions, the fundamental solution of unsaturated TI half‐space is obtained. Finally, the proposed solution is verified by benchmarking with two existing solutions. The influence of the TI parameters, vibration frequency and the degree of saturation on the dynamic response of unsaturated poroelastic half‐space is investigated.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectiveThis study aimed: (1) to compare psychological distress (PD) and body dissatisfaction (BD) in terms of BMI, weight bias internalization (WBI), and weight discrimination (current and past); (2) to assess the best predictor of PD and BD and assess the relationships with weight discrimination, BD, and WBI.MethodsThe sample consisted of 1283 participants across all BMI categories, recruited through the internet voluntarily. People with obesity were the most predominant (26.1%). Experiences of weight‐based discrimination were reported by participants across all BMI categories, and they were more prevalent in people with obesity.ResultsPeople with obesity, those with WBI, and those who faced current and past weight discrimination reported higher PD and higher BD. However, WBI was the best predictor after controlling for BMI, WBI, and current and past weight discrimination. Mediation analyses revealed that the relationship between weight discrimination and BD through WBI was significant, as was the relationship between weight discrimination and WBI through BD.ConclusionsThese results stressed the importance of WBI in PD and the role of weight discrimination in WBI and BD. Hence, there is a need to better understand how WBI is formed and to design effective interventions to reduce it.

Abstract‘DALSA 1618’ (Reg. no. CV‐291, PI 702594) is a first‐generation intraspecific St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] hybrid developed by Texas A&M AgriLife Research in Dallas, TX, from a cross between a drought‐resistant polyploid female parent, TAES 5384 (PI 300130, GRIN National Plant Germplasm System), and a semi‐dwarf shade‐tolerant diploid pollen donor, ‘Amerishade’. DALSA 1618 was formerly tested as ‘TAES 5896‐09’ and ‘TXSA‐156’. Superior performance and quality from 2010 to 2015 in space‐plant nurseries across multiple environments led to advancing DALSA 1618 to replicated trials in 10 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program (NTEP) locations across the southcentral and southeastern United States. DALSA 1618 was one of the top performers in the 2016 NTEP (2016–2020). It established faster than ‘CitraBlue’ and similarly to other tested commercial cultivars. DALSA 1618 exhibited high turfgrass quality in standard and ancillary trials and earlier spring greenup, which was generally better than ‘Floratam’. Drought resistance of DALSA 1618 was similar to Floratam (a drought‐resistant aneuploid). Tolerance to moderately dense shade was tested in Dallas, TX, from 2017 to 2020, where DALSA 1618 exhibited improved shade tolerance relative to Floratam. This array of environmental testing indicates DALSA 1618 possesses a unique combination of drought and shade tolerance that would allow its use across the southcentral and southeastern United States.

AbstractUSDA‐N5001 (Reg. no. GP‐524, PI 702592) is a conventional early maturity group (MG) V soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] germplasm with high yield potential and elevated seed and meal protein contents. USDA‐N5001 was jointly released as a non–genetically modified germplasm by the USDA‐ARS and the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service in January 2023. USDA‐N5001, experimental name N16‐590, was derived from the hybridization of high‐yielding breeding line N08‐145 and high‐protein breeding line Pro5‐1. Across 22 environments of the 2019 and 2020 USDA Uniform Soybean Trials Southern States, USDA‐N5001 yielded 105%, 98%, and 102% of the three checks ‘Ellis’, ‘AG55X’, and ‘TN11‐5140’, respectively. On a zero‐moisture basis, its protein content (425 g kg−1) was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than those of the checks (399–402 g kg−1). The meal protein content of USDA‐N5001 (49.4%) was also significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the checks (46.7%–46.9%). The new release matured 2 days and 1 day later than Ellis and AG55X, respectively, but 5 days earlier than TN11‐5140. USDA‐N5001 is the first high‐yielding, high‐seed‐ and meal‐protein MG V‐Early (relative maturity 5.3) line developed by USDA‐ARS in North Carolina. With the recent increases in production of MG V soybeans in the southeastern United States and the national focus on higher‐meal protein lines, USDA‐N5001 should be highly useful to soybean breeders and growers of conventional soybeans in the southeastern United States.

AbstractBACKGROUNDTo find more effective agricultural antibiotics, a class of new 2‐aminothiazole derivatives containing the 4‐aminoquinazoline moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their antimicrobial properties against phytopathogenic bacteria and fungi of agricultural importance.RESULTSAll the target compounds were fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and high‐resolution mass spectrometry. The bioassay results showed that compound F29 with a 2‐pyridinyl substituent exhibited an outstanding antibacterial effect against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzicola (Xoc) in vitro, having an half‐maximal effective concentration (EC50) value as low as 2.0 μg/mL (over 30‐fold more effective than the commercialized agrobactericide bismerthiazol, with an EC50 value of 64.3 μg/mL). In addition, compound F8 with a 2‐fluorophenyl group demonstrated a good inhibitory activity toward the bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri (Xac), around twofold more active than bismerthiazol in terms of their EC50 values (22.8 versus 71.5 μg/mL). Interestingly, this compound also demonstrated a notable fungicidal effect against Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae, with an EC50 value largely comparable with that of the commercialized fungicide carbendazim. Finally, mechanistic studies revealed that compound F29 exerted its antibacterial effects by increasing the permeability of bacterial membranes, reducing the release of extracellular polysaccharides, and triggering morphological changes of bacterial cells.CONCLUSIONCompound F29 has promising potential as a lead compound for developing more efficient bactericides to fight against Xoc. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Published: July 2023

AbstractMultidrug combination therapy provides an effective strategy for malignant tumor treatment. This paper presents the development of a biodegradable microrobot for on‐demand multidrug delivery. By combining magnetic targeting transportation with tumor therapy, it is hypothesized that loading multiple drugs on different regions of a single magnetic microrobot can enhance a synergistic effect for cancer treatment. The synergistic effect of using two drugs together is greater than that of using each drug separately. Here, a 3D‐printed microrobot inspired by the fish structure with three hydrogel components: skeleton, head, and body structures is demonstrated. Made of iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles embedded in poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), the skeleton can respond to magnetic fields for microrobot actuation and drug‐targeted delivery. The drug storage structures, head, and body, made by biodegradable gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) exhibit enzyme‐responsive cargo release. The multidrug delivery microrobots carrying acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and doxorubicin (DOX) in drug storage structures, respectively, exhibit the excellent synergistic effects of ASA and DOX by accelerating HeLa cell apoptosis and inhibiting HeLa cell metastasis. In vivo studies indicate that the microrobots improve the efficiency of tumor inhibition and induce a response to anti‐angiogenesis. The versatile multidrug delivery microrobot conceptualized here provides a way for developing effective combination therapy for cancer.

Published: July 2023

AbstractSodium (Na)‐ion batteries (SIBs) have been considered as a potential device for large‐scale energy storage. To date, some start‐up companies have released their first‐generation SIBs cathode materials. Among them, phosphate compounds, particularly iron (Fe)‐based mixed phosphate compounds, present great potential for commercial SIBs owing to its low cost, environment friendly. In this perspective, a brief historical retrospect is first introduce to the development of Fe‐based mixed phosphate cathodes in SIBs. Then, the recent development about this kind of cathode has been summarized. One of the iron‐based phosphate materials, Na3Fe2(PO4)P2O7, is used as an example to roughly calculate the energy density and estimate the cost at the cell level to highlight their advantages. Finally, some strategies are put up to further increase the energy density of SIBs. This timely perspective aims to educate the community on the critical benefits of the Fe‐based mixed phosphate cathode and provide an up‐to‐date overview of this emerging field.

Published: July 2023

AbstractA critical point drying (CPD) technique is reported with supercritical CO2as a cleaning step for graphene field‐effect transistors (GFETs) microfabricated on oxidized Si wafers, which results in an increase of the field‐effect mobility and a decrease of the impurity doping. It is shown that the polymeric residues remaining on graphene after the transfer process and device microfabrication are significantly reduced after the CPD treatment. Moreover, the CPD effectively removes ambient adsorbates such as water therewith reducing the undesirablep‐type doping of the GFETs. It is proposed that CPD of electronic, optoelectronic, and photonic devices based on 2D materials as a promising technique to recover their intrinsic properties after the microfabrication in a cleanroom and after storage at ambient conditions.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe excessive use of antimicrobials in animal rearing and the associated environmental hazards have become a pressing issue. Animal agriculture is often viewed as a significant contributor to environmental degradation due to the residues of antimicrobials. It is a common practice to use livestock waste as a soil enhancer in farming. Despite some research into antimicrobials, there is room for more comprehensive data regarding these pollutants in animal farming environments. A handful of earlier studies have identified antimicrobials in animal waste. This research undertook the task of examining and evaluating soils amended with animal waste (from chickens, cows, and pigs) for the presence of seven specific antimicrobials. The antimicrobials under scrutiny included trimethoprim (TRI), ormethoprim (ORM), ofloxacin (OFL), norfloxacin (NOR), tetracycline (TET), chlortetracycline (CTE), and tylosin (TLS). Soil samples were collected from areas surrounding breeding farms located upstream of the Sai Gon River. These samples were then subjected to laboratory analysis, which involved solid‐phase extraction using ultrasonic waves and the application of high‐performance liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS) to identify the antimicrobials. TRI, which had the highest average concentration (2.603–91.304 μg/kg), and OFL, with the second highest average concentration (1.815–15.832 μg/kg), were detected in all soil samples amended with manure. CTE, with the third highest average concentration, was found in soils amended with cow and pig waste (1.625–15.486 μg/kg). ORM and TE, with lower average concentrations (0.595–1.318 μ and 11.537–13.569 μg/kg, respectively), were only detected in soils amended with chicken waste, while NOR was only found in soils amended with cow waste. These findings indicate that the use of antimicrobials in animal farming can negatively impact the soil ecosystem. Consequently, these results can contribute to the creation of guidelines for monitoring antimicrobial residues in agricultural ecosystems.
High Precision Peg-in-Hole Assembly Approach Based on Sensitive Robotics and Deep Recurrent Q-Learning

Published: July 2023

AbstractSensitive robot systems are used in various assembly and manufacturing technologies. Assembly is a vital activity that requires high-precision robotic manipulation. One of the challenges faced in high precision assembly tasks is when the task precision exceeds the robot’s precision. In this research, Deep Q-Learning (DQN) is used to perform a very tight clearance Peg-in-Hole assembly task. Moreover, recurrence is introduced into the system via a Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) layer to tackle DQN drawbacks. The LSTM layer has the ability to encode prior decisions, allowing the agent to make more informed decisions. The robot’s sensors are used to represent the state. Despite the tight hole clearance, this method was able to successfully achieve the task at hand, which has been validated by a 7-DOF Kuka LBR iiwa sensitive robot. This paper will focus on the search phase. Furthermore, our approach has the advantage of working in environments that vary from the learned environment.
Quantifying acetylene mole fraction in rich flat laminar premixed C2H4/air flames using mid-infrared polarization spectroscopy
Authors: Zhao Wanxia , Alwahabi Zeyad T. , Dally Bassam B. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMid-infrared laser polarization spectroscopy (IRPS) has been applied to measure the mole fraction of acetylene in rich premixed laminar C2H4/Air flat flames at equivalence ratios (Φ) of 1.7, 2.1, and 2.3, and under atmospheric pressure. The detection was conducted by probing the ro-vibrational P(19) transition at ~ 3.1 μm. The total collisional broadening coefficient of C2H2 was approximately 0.074 cm−1 atm−1 and varied within a range of 0.5% under different flame conditions, which made the effect of linewidth not obvious in the CH4/air flame. The calculated mole fraction of C2H2, using the Chemkin model, at Φ = 1.3 and 1.5 was used to calibrate the recorded IRPS signal intensities at different Height Above Burner (HAB). A single scaling factor was then used to quantify the measured C2H2 at highly sooting conditions, Φ = 1.7, 2.1, and 2.3, with a Limit of Detection (LoD) of 35 ± 5 ppm. The first observed C2H2 mole fraction appeared at HAB of 3 mm and measured as 2003 ppm, 2217 ppm, and 2495 ppm, for Φ = 1.7, 2.1, and 2.3, respectively. The mole fraction increased as the HAB increased to reach the maximum value of 2296 ppm, 2807 ppm, and 3478 ppm, for Φ = 1.7, 2.1, and 2.3, respectively, up to HAB of 5 mm. It was observed that the C2H2 mole fraction reaches a plateau region at HAB of ~ 8 mm. The production of C2H2 has been observed to be subject to a critical gas temperature of 1400 ± 30 K. The critical soot inception temperature, where the first incepted soot particles are observed, is the same as the gas temperature where $${\chi }_{{{\mathrm{C}}_{2}\mathrm{H}}_{2}}^{\mathrm{max}}$$
