Strategic offloading: How the value of to‐be‐remembered information influences offloading decision‐making
Authors: Murphy Dillon H. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractWe examined potentially selective offloading decisions when the external store has a limited capacity and how the surprising unavailability of offloaded information influences subsequent offloading decision‐making and memory. In three experiments, learners were presented with to‐be‐remembered words paired with point values counting towards their scores if recalled and were allowed to offload some words. Experiment 1 included only positively valued words, Experiment 2 included some negatively valued words, and Experiment 3 included only positively valued words but some extremely high‐value words. Learners selectively offloaded high‐value words (an ideal strategy if the external store is more reliable than memory) but were also selective in their memory for not‐offloaded words. However, when offloaded words were surprisingly unavailable, learners frequently forgot high‐value words, illustrating the potential dangers of offloading. Thus, offloading decisions should depend on the reliability of the external store, memory abilities, and the variability of the value of to‐be‐remembered information.

AbstractTailoring inorganic components of cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is critical to improving the cycling performance of lithium metal batteries. However, it is challenging due to complicated electrolyte reactions on cathode/anode surfaces. Herein, the species and inorganic component content of the CEI/SEI is enriched with an objectively gradient distribution through employing pentafluorophenyl 4‐nitrobenzenesulfonate (PFBNBS) as electrolyte additive guided by engineering bond order with functional groups. In addition, a catalytic effect of LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (NCM622) cathode is proposed on the decomposition of PFBNBS. PFBNBS with lower highest occupied molecular orbital can be preferentially oxidized on the NCM622 surface with the help of the catalytic effect to induce an inorganic‐rich CEI for superior electrochemical performance at high voltage. Moreover, PFBNBS can be reduced on the Li surface due to its lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital , increasing inorganic moieties in SEI for inhibiting Li dendrite generation. Thus, 4.5 V Li||NCM622 batteries with such electrolyte can retain 70.4% of initial capacity after 500 cycles at 0.2 C, which is attributed to the protective effect of the excellent CEI on NCM622 and the inhibitory effect of its derived CEI/SEI on continuous electrolyte decomposition.

AbstractThe ferroelectric photovoltaic effect has promising potential for the next generation of solar cells. However, due to disadvantages such as wide bandgap and low fill factor (FF), the power conversion efficiency (PCE) values reported in ferroelectric photovoltaic devices remain considerably below expectations. Herein, enhanced photovoltaic effect in the films with the nanostructure of ferroelectric nanocrystalline particles embedded in the amorphous or poor crystalline matrix is investigated. The nanostructures are realized by controlled crystallization and doping in Zn0.92‐xCux(Fe0.04Li0.04)O (ZCFLO) films. Benefiting from the improved carrier dynamic regulation in ferroelectric/boundary nanostructures and narrowed bandgap, the designed ZCFLO photoferroelectrics films exhibit high efficiency photovoltaic effect under AM 1.5G light, manifesting above‐bandgap photovoltage, markedly improved FF (83.4%), switchable photoresponse (50.3 mA W−1), and high PCE (14.4%). Meanwhile, the simple method presented in this work is fully compatible with large‐scale manufacturing processes and may find applications in cost‐efficiency optoelectronic devices.

AbstractThe elaborate balance between the open‐circuit voltage (VOC) and the short‐circuit current density (JSC) is critical to ensure efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, the chalcogen containing branched chain engineering is employed to address this dilemma. Three novel nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs), named BTP‐2O, BTP‐O‐S, and BTP‐2S, featuring different peripheral chalcogen containing branched chains are synthesized. Compared with symmetric BTP‐2O and BTP‐2S grafting two alkoxy or alkylthio branched chains, the asymmetric BTP‐O‐S grafting one alkoxy and one alkylthio branched chains shows mediate absorption range, applicable miscibility, and favorable crystallinity. Benefiting from the enhanced π–π stacking and charge transport, an optimal power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.3% is obtained for the PM6:BTP‐O‐S‐based devices, with a good balance between VOC (0.912 V) and JSC (24.5 mA cm−2), and a high fill factor (FF) of 0.775, which is much higher than those of BTP‐2O (16.1%) and BTP‐2S‐based (16.4%) devices. Such a result represents one of the highest efficiencies among the binary OSCs with VOC surpassing 0.9 V. Moreover, the BTP‐O‐S‐based devices fabricated by using green solvent yield a satisfactory PCE of 17.1%. This work highlights the synergistic effect of alkoxy and alkylthio branched chains for high‐performance OSCs by alleviating voltage loss and enhancing FF.

AbstractPoor thermodynamic stability and sluggish electrochemical kinetics of metallic Zn anode in aqueous solution greatly hamper its practical application. To solve such problems, to date, various zincophilic surface modification strategies are developed, which can facilitate reversible Zn plating/stripping behavior. However, there is still a lack of systematic and fundamental understanding regarding the metrics of thermodynamics inertia and kinetics zincophilia in selecting zincophilic sites. Herein, hetero‐metallic interfaces are prioritized for the first time via optimizing different hetero metals (Fe, Co, Ni, Sn, Bi, Cu, Zn, etc.) and synthetic solvents (ethanol, ethylene glycol, n‐propanol, etc.). Specifically, both theoretical simulations and experimental results suggest that this Bi@Zn interface can exhibit high efficiency owing to the thermodynamics inertia and kinetics zincophilia. A best practice for prioritizing zincophilic sites in a more practical metric is also proposed. As a proof of concept, the Bi@Zn anode delivers ultralow overpotential of ≈55 mV at a high rate of 10 mA cm−2 and stable cycle life over 4700 cycles. The elaborated “thermodynamics inertia and kinetics metalphilia” metrics for hetero‐metallic interfaces can benchmark the success of other metal‐based batteries.

AbstractIn classical Cauchy elasticity, 3D materials exhibit six eigenmodes of deformation. Following the 1995 work of Milton and Cherkaev, extremal elastic materials can be classified by the number of eigenmodes, N, out of these six that are “easy”. Using Greek number words, this leads to hexamode (N = 6), pentamode (N = 5), tetramode (N = 4), trimode (N = 3), dimode (N = 2), and monomode (N = 1) materials. While hexamode materials are unstable in all regards, the possibility of pentamode metamaterials (“meta‐fluids”) has attracted considerable attention throughout the last decade. Here, inspired by the 2021 theoretical work of Wei, Liu, and Hu, microstructured 3D polymer‐based tetramode metamaterials are designed and characterized by numerical band‐structure calculations, fabricated by laser printing, characterized by ultrasound experiments, and compared to the theoretical ideal. An application in terms of a compact and broadband polarizer for acoustical phonons at ultrasound frequencies is demonstrated.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBlood‐brain‐barrier (BBB) disruption has been associated with a variety of central‐nervous‐system diseases. In vitro BBB models enable to investigate how the barrier reacts to external injury events, commonly referred to as insults. Here, a human‐cell‐based BBB platform with integrated, transparent electrodes to monitor barrier tightness in real time at high resolution is presented. The BBB model includes human cerebral endothelial cells and primary pericytes and astrocytes in a 3D arrangement within a pump‐free, open‐microfluidic platform. With this platform, this study demonstrates that oxygen‐glucose deprivation (OGD), which mimics the characteristics of an ischemic insult, induces a rapid remodeling of the cellular actin structures and subsequent morphological changes in the endothelial cells. High‐resolution live imaging shows the formation of large actin stress‐fiber bundles in the endothelial layer during OGD application, which ultimately leads to cell shrinkage and barrier breakage. Simultaneous electrical measurements evidence a rapid decrease of the barrier electrical resistance before the appearance of stress fibers, which indicates that the barrier function is compromised already before the appearance of drastic morphological changes. The results demonstrate that the BBB platform recapitulates the main barrier functions in vitro and can be used to investigate rapid reorganization of the BBB upon application of external stimuli.

AbstractCancer stem‐like cells (CSCs) have a unique translation mode, but little is understood about the process of elongation, especially the contribution of tRNA modifications to the maintenance of CSCs properties. Here, it is reported that, contrary to the initial aim, a tRNA‐modifying methylthiotransferase CDKAL1 promotes CSC‐factor SALL2 synthesis by assembling the eIF4F translation initiation complex. CDKAL1 expression is upregulated in patients with worse prognoses and is essential for maintaining CSCs in rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and common cancers. Translatome analysis reveals that a group of mRNAs whose translation is CDKAL1‐dependent contains cytosine‐rich sequences in the 5’ untranslated region (5’UTR). Mechanistically, CDKAL1 promotes the translation of such mRNAs by organizing the eIF4F translation initiation complex. This complex formation does not require the enzyme activity of CDKAL1 but requires only the NH2‐terminus domain of CDKAL1. Furthermore, sites in CDKAL1 essential for forming the eIF4F complex are identified and discovered candidate inhibitors of CDKAL1‐dependent translation.

AbstractAn easy two‐/three‐component selective thioetherification of KSAc for the synthesis of a series of symmetrical/unsymmetrical 4‐alkylthio‐3‐halo‐2(5H)‐furanones has been described. The reaction without any metal catalyst or additive is carried out in air atmosphere at room temperature for 5 h, only using potassium thioacetate as an odourless sulfur source and a base simultaneously. The broad substrate scope and high yield make it important for the studies on both constructing C−S bond based on non‐aryl Csp2−X bond and synthesizing new 2(5H)‐furanone functional molecules.

AbstractDiese Arbeit untersucht die Aktivität der [NiFeSe]‐Hydrogenase aus Desulfomicrobium Baculatum zur solargetriebenen Wasserstofferzeugung in organischen stark eutektischen Lösemitteln. Obwohl Hydrogenasen bekanntermaßen empfindlich gegenüber Luft und organischen Lösemitteln sind, zeigt die hier untersuchte Hydrogenase eine beachtliche Aktivität in aerober Atmosphäre, wenn sie in stark eutektischen Lösemitteln mit TiO2 als Photokatalysator kombiniert wird. Die Feinabstimmung des Wassergehalts im Lösemittel ermöglicht eine weitere Steigerung der Wasserstoffentwicklung zu einer TOF von 60±3 s−1 und einer Quantenausbeute von 2,3±0,4 % an Luft, während die TOF in rein wässriger Lösung an Luft lediglich 4 s−1 beträgt. Entgegen der weitverbreiteten Meinung zeigt diese Arbeit somit, dass natürliche Hydrogenasen in unnatürlichen Umgebungen eine höhere Leistung erzielen können. Diese Erkenntnis ebnet den Weg für vollständige Wasserspaltung mithilfe von Hydrogenasen.
A Hydrolyzable Supra‐amphiphile as a Marangoni Self‐Propulsion Fuel for Efficient Macroscopic Supramolecular Self‐Assembly

Published: February 2023

AbstractSelf‐assembly of μm‐to‐mm components is important for achieving all‐scale ordering with requirements of extra energy for motion and interaction of components. Marangoni flows caused by surfactants on water provide appropriate energy but have limited lifetimes because of the inevitable interfacial aggregation and difficult decomposition of aggregated covalent surfactants that inactivate Marangoni effects. Here we have synthesized a supra‐amphiphile Marangoni “fuel”—sodium‐4‐(benzylideneamino) benzenesulfonate (SBBS)—that can be hydrolyzed in a timely manner to a species without surface activity to extend the motion time by 10‐fold. The motion was optimized at pH=2 by a fine equilibrium between the releasing and removal of interfacial SBBS, leading to the self‐assembly of millimeter‐scaled ordered dimers. The underlying mechanism was interpreted by motion analyses and simulation. This strategy provides an active solution to self‐assembly at the μm‐to‐mm scale, as well as interactive ideas between miniaturized chemical robots.

AbstractChiral pyrrolic macrocycles continue to attract interest. However, their molecular design remains challenging. Here, we report a calixpyrrole‐based chiral macrocyclic system, calix[1]furan[1]pyrrole[1]thiophene (1), synthesized from an oligoketone. Macrocycle 1 adopts a partial cone conformation in the solid state, and undergoes racemization via ring inversion. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed that inversion of the thiophene is the rate determining step. Pyrrole N‐methylation suppressed racemization and permitted chiral resolution. Enantioselective N‐methylation also occurred in the presence of a chiral ammonium salt, although the stereoselectivity is modest. A unique feature of 1 is that it acts as a useful synthetic precursor to yield several calix[n]furan[n]pyrrole[n]thiophene products (n=2–4), including a calix[12]pyrrole analogue that to our knowledge constitutes the largest calix[n]pyrrole‐like species to be structurally characterized.

AbstractCarbon black uses nonrenewable resources (e.g., petroleum and natural gas) as raw materials, which not only causes dust pollution, but also has poor wet traction and high‐heat generation of rubber. Wollastonite is a polar filler, it requires surface modification to improve its hydrophobicity. In this paper, potassium oleate was introduced as an environment‐friendly modifier to decrease the polarity of the wollastonite, and a series of properties of the rubber composites with modified wollastonite replacing different parts of carbon black were studied. The experimental results show that the interfacial contact angle of the modified wollastonite changes from 0° to 51°, resulting in a weaker polarity. When 10 phr PO‐modified wollastonite were used to replace 10 phr carbon black filled with natural rubber, the processing safety is better, the Payne effect is effectively weakened and the rolling resistance is reduced, the tensile product reached 15573.98, which was 12.95% higher than that of the composites filled with full carbon black, resulting in the best comprehensive properties. This study verified the feasibility of replacing part of carbon black with potassium oleate modified wollastonite to prepare “green tire,” reduce the consumption of fossil energy, promote sustainable development, and provide reference for actual industrial production.

ObjectiveTo investigate the role of interleukin‐23 (IL‐23) in pathologic bone remodeling in inflammatory arthritis.MethodsIn this study we investigated the role of IL‐23 in osteoclast differentiation and activation using in vivo gene transfer techniques in wild‐type and myeloid DNAX‐activation protein 12–associating lectin‐1 (MDL‐1)–deficient mice, and by performing in vitro and in vivo osteoclastogenesis assays using spectral flow cytometry, micro–computed tomography analysis, Western blotting, and immunoprecipitation.ResultsHerein, we show that IL‐23 induces the expansion of a myeloid osteoclast precursor population and supports osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption in inflammatory arthritis. Genetic ablation of C‐type lectin domain family member 5A, also known as MDL‐1, prevents the induction of osteoclast precursors by IL‐23 that is associated with bone destruction, as commonly observed in inflammatory arthritis. Moreover, osteoclasts derived from the bone marrow of MDL‐1–deficient mice showed impaired osteoclastogenesis, and MDL‐1−/− mice had increased bone mineral density.ConclusionOur data show that IL‐23 signaling regulates the availability of osteoclast precursors in inflammatory arthritis that could be effectively targeted for the treatment of inflammatory bone loss in inflammatory arthritis.
Information precarity and the agentic practices of marginalized communities: Puerto Rican activists addressing the crisis before, during, and after Hurricane Maria
Authors: Espinoza Vasquez Fatima , Oltmann Shannon M. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractIn this study, we propose that information precarity leads to and perpetuates information marginalization; communities then engage with marginalization with various types of proactive information practices. For this project, we explore how Puerto Ricans activists responded to information precarity before, during, and after Hurricane Maria. We interviewed activists about their experiences navigating the local and federal institutional environment and their information practices. We show that although Puerto Rico suffered catastrophic damage after Hurricane Maria, its already‐weakened infrastructure, coupled with fiscal instability, had created a state of information precarity for many people before the hurricane hit. We also show how Puerto Rican activists engaged in solidarity‐based, anti‐colonial, and anti‐neoliberal information activities. While previous models argue that people respond to marginalization with defensive/protective behavior, we propose people go beyond just responding; they enact their agency, resourcefulness, collective interests, and locally based knowledge to engage in proactive and subversive information practices. We conclude that marginalized actors who are critical of the structures that marginalize them transform their state of precarity into an alternative space where they can achieve their goals.
Preparation of a SiO2@Carbon Sphere/SiO2−CNF Multilayer Self‐standing Anode Prepared via an Alternate Electrospraying – Electrospinning Technique

Published: February 2023

AbstractThe development of flexible lithium‐ion batteries (FLIBs) is restrained by traditional rigidity anodes. Carbon nanofiber (CNF) is a promising anode material owing to its high specific surface and superior ion transportation capability. However, the low amount of active material loaded on the CNFs and the poor stability during long cycling restrain their applications. Herein, a SiO2@carbon sphere/SiO2−CNF self‐standing anode was prepared via alternate electrospraying‐electrospinning. The SiO2 content of the anode was increased through the electrospraying SiO2@carbon spheres layers, and the electrospun SiO2−CNFs as robust layers enhanced the stability of the anode. The self‐standing anode exhibited 633 mA h g−1 in the initial cycle and maintained a 70% Coulomb efficiency for 1000 cycles at a current density of 100 mA g−1, which could be applied in FLIB and other electrochemical storage devices.
Equivalence‐based instruction to teaching reading by families and teachers students with autism and/or intellectual disabilities
Authors: Benitez Priscila , Domeniconi Camila 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe study evaluated the learning of computerized equivalence‐based reading instruction in students with intellectual disability and/or autism who attend regular school when exposed to a teaching practices package (teaching practices programmed) conducted by different educational agents (parents, regular classroom teachers, and special education teachers) in school settings and at home. The students were exposed to teaching packages that were applied by educational agents. The study has two hypotheses. First, the involvement of teachers and families in implementing interventions, in the presence of the researcher, may contribute to their learning to read in inclusive classrooms and at home. Secondly, the teaching of reading in Portuguese language may be favored by the direct teaching of syllables. A multiple baseline procedure was used to evaluate the teaching of three sets of words. Students improved from zero reading skills in the pretest to an average of 80% correct responses out of 21 taught words.
