Published: June 2023

A field experiment was carried out using RBD design with 10 treatments and 3 replications at the main campus, UHS, Bagalkot. Sugar industry by-products such as incinerated ash, distillery sludge and distillery sludge ash were utilised in the experiment to examine their effect as potassium sources on growth and yield of cauliflower. These three distillery byproducts were applied as 100, 50 and 25 per cent as replacement for chemical potassium fertilizer (K2SO4). As a control, the final treatment was 100 per cent potassium sulphate. The N and P were supplied through urea and DAP respectively as per the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF). . The higher contents of both primary and secondary nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S) were observed in the treatment where 25 % of chemical fertilizer was replaced by incinerated ash. The content of these major nutrients and its uptake by the cauliflower plant was significantly higher with the treatment T­4 (25% K through incinerated ash + 75% through K2SO4). Significantly higher curd yield (15.86 t ha-1) was associated with the treatment where 25 % of potassium supply was through incinerated ash.

ImportanceSuicidal behavior is a significant clinical concern in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), but the effectiveness of pharmacotherapy on reducing suicide risk has remained unknown.ObjectiveTo study the comparative effectiveness of different pharmacotherapies in preventing attempted or completed suicides in patients with BPD in Sweden.Design, Setting and ParticipantsIn this comparative effectiveness research study, nationwide Swedish register databases of inpatient care, specialized outpatient care, sickness absences, and disability pensions were used to identify patients aged 16 to 65 years with registered treatment contact due to BPD during 2006 to 2021. Data were analyzed from September to December 2022. A within-individual design was used, in which each patient was used as their own control to eliminate selection bias. To control protopathic bias, sensitivity analyses were conducted, in which the first 1 or 2 months of medication exposure were omitted from the analyses.Main outcomes and MeasuresHazard ratio (HR) for attempted or completed suicide.ResultsA total of 22 601 patients with BPD (3540 [15.7%] men; mean [SD] age, 29.2 [9.9] years) were included. During the 16-year follow-up (mean [SD] follow-up, 6.9 [5.1] years), 8513 hospitalizations due to attempted suicide and 316 completed suicides were observed. Attention-deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD) medication treatment, compared with its nonuse, was associated with a decrease in the risk of attempted or completed suicide (HR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.73-0.95; false discovery rate [FDR]–corrected P = .001). Treatment with mood stabilizers did not have a statistically significant association with the main outcome (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.87-1.08; FDR-corrected P = .99). Antidepressant (HR, 1.38; 95% CI, 1.25-1.53; FDR-corrected P &amp;lt; .001) and antipsychotic (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 1.07-1.30; FDR-corrected P &amp;lt; .001) treatments were associated with an elevated risk of attempted or completed suicide. Of the investigated pharmacotherapies, treatment with benzodiazepines was associated with the highest risk of attempted or completed suicide (HR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.45-1.78; FDR-corrected P &amp;lt; .001). These results remained similar when controlling for potential protopathic bias.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this comparative effectiveness research study of a Swedish nationwide cohort, ADHD medication was the only pharmacological treatment associated with reduced risk of suicidal behavior among patients with BPD. Conversely, the findings suggest that benzodiazepines should be used with care among patients with BPD due to their association with increased risk of suicide.
Finite‐time adaptive event‐triggered control for nonstrict‐feedback stochastic nonlinear systems with full state time‐varying constraints
Authors: Zhu Xinfeng , Yin Wenxuan , Ding Wenwu 
Published: June 2023

SummaryThis article is concerned with the finite‐time adaptive event‐triggered control for stochastic nonstrict‐feedback nonlinear systems, which are under asymmetric full‐state time‐varying constraints. By utilizing the hyperbolic tangent function as a nonlinear mapping approach, the system with time‐varying constraints is transformed into an unconstrained stochastic nonlinear system. To reduce the communication burden and energy consumption, adaptive event‐triggered control (ETC) is extended to the converted stochastic nonstrict‐feedback system combining the dynamic surface control (DSC) technology and the characteristic of Gaussian function. The designed controller can make the system semi‐globally finite‐time stable in probability (SGFSP), which ensures a fast convergence speed. Moreover, to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions, radial basis function neural networks (RBF NNs) are adopted. The proposed control scheme can be confirmed in the fact that all signals in the closed‐loop system are semi‐globally uniformly bounded in probability, and the tracking error converges rapidly to a small neighborhood of zero in finite time. Two simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

AbstractOrganic–inorganic formamidinium lead triiodide (FAPbI3) hybrid perovskite quantum dot (QD) is of great interest to photovoltaic (PV) community due to its narrow band gap, higher ambient stability, and long carrier lifetime. However, the surface ligand management of FAPbI3 QD is still a key hurdle that impedes the design of high‐efficiency solar cells. Herein, this study first develops a solution‐mediated ligand exchange (SMLE) for preparing FAPbI3 QD film with enhanced electronic coupling. By dissolving optimal methylammonium iodide (MAI) into antisolvent to treat the FAPbI3 QD solution, the SMLE can not only effectively replace the long‐chain ligands, but also passivate the A‐ and X‐site vacancies. By combining experimental and theoretical results, this study demonstrates that the SMLE engineered FAPbI3 QD exhibits lower defect density, which is beneficial for fabricating high‐quality QD arrays with desired morphology and carrier transport. Consequently, the SMLE FAPbI3 QD based solar cell outputs a champion efficiency of 15.10% together with improved long‐term ambient storage stability, which is currently the highest reported value for hybrid perovskite QD solar cells. These results would provide new design principle of hybrid perovskite QDs toward high‐performance optoelectronic application.

AbstractPolymer‐dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) devices are truly promising optical modulators for information display, smart window as well as intelligent photoelectronic applications due to their fast switching, large optical modulation as well as cost‐effectiveness. However, realizing highly soft PDLC devices with sensing function remains a grand challenge because of the intrinsic brittleness of traditional transparent conductive electrodes. Here, inspired by spiderweb configuration, a novel type of silver nanowires (AgNWs) micromesh‐based stretchable transparent conductive electrodes (STCEs) is developed to support the realization of soft PDLC device. Benefiting from the embedding design of AgNWs micromesh in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the STCEs can maintain excellent electrical conductivity and transparency even in various extreme conditions such as bending, folding, twisting, stretching as well as multiple chemical corrosion. Further, STCEs with the embedded AgNWs micromesh endow the assembled PDLC device with excellent photoelectrical properties including rapid switching speed (<1 s), large optical modulation (69% at 600 nm), as well as robust mechanical stability (bending over 1000 cycles and stretching to 40%). Moreover, the device displays the pressure sensing function with high sensitivity in response to pressure stimulus. It is conceivable that AgNWs micromesh transparent electrodes will shape the next generation of related soft smart electronics.

AbstractDirect seawater electrolysis provides a grand blueprint for green hydrogen (H2) technology, while the high energy consumption has severely hindered its industrialization. Herein, a promising active site implantation strategy is reported for Ni(OH)2 nanowire network electrode on nickel foam substrate by Ru doping (denoted as RuNi(OH)2 NW2/NF), which can act as a dual‐function catalyst for hydrazine oxidation and hydrogen evolution, achieving an ultralow working potential of 114.6 mV to reach 1000 mA cm−2 and a small overpotential of 30 mV at 10 mA cm−2, respectively. Importantly, using the two‐electrode hydrazine oxidation assisted seawater electrolysis, it can drive a large current density of 500 mA cm−2 at 0.736 V with over 200 h stability. To demonstrate the practicability, a home‐made flow electrolyzer is constructed, which can realize the industry‐level rate of 1 A cm−2 with a record‐low voltage of 1.051 V. Theoretical calculations reveal that the Ru doping activates Ni(OH)2 by upgrading d‐band centers, which raises anti‐bonding energy states and thus strengthens the interaction between adsorbates and catalysts. This study not only provides a novel rationale for catalyst design, but also proposes a feasible strategy for direct alkaline seawater splitting toward sustainable, yet energy‐saving H2 production.

Published: June 2023

AbstractPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) has achieved great success in cancer treatment. Despite its great promise, the efficacy of photodynamic immunotherapy can be limited by the hypoxia in solid tumors which is closely related to the abnormal tumor vasculature. These abnormal vasculatures are a hallmark of most solid tumors and facilitate immune evasion. Therefore, tumor vascular normalization is developed as a promising strategy to overcome tumor hypoxia, resulting in improved cancer therapy. Here, a NIR‐II bio‐degradable pseudo‐conjugate polymer (PSP)‐based photodynamic polymer is designed to deliver a vascular normalization agent, i.e., regorafenib (Reg) in nanoparticles (NP‐PDT@Reg). NP‐PDT@Reg under 808 nm laser irradiation (NP‐PDT@Reg + L) can efficiently release Reg to improve the tumor hypoxia via vascular normalization, making more NP‐PDT@Reg and oxygen enter the tumors. Moreover, NP‐PDT@Reg + L can further result in generation of more reactive oxygen species (ROS) to eradicate tumor cells while inducing immunogenic cell death (ICD) to activate anti‐tumor immune responses. In addition, Reg can reprogram TAM from a pro‐tumor M2 phenotype to a tumor‐killing M1 phenotype as well, thereby reversing the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Taken together, the current study provides an innovative perspective on the development of novel nanomaterials to overcome the limitations in photodynamic immunotherapy.

AbstractNano‐/microplastics accumulate in aquatic bodies and raise increasing threats to ecosystems and human health. The limitation of existing water cleanup strategies, especially in the context of nano‐/microplastics, primarily arises from their complexity (morphological, compositional, and dimensional). Here, highly efficient and bio‐based flowthrough capturing materials (bioCap) are reported to remove a broad spectrum of nano‐/microplastics from water: polyethylene terephthalate (anionic, irregular shape), polyethylene (net neutral, irregular shape), polystyrene (anionic and cationic, spherical shape), and other anionic and spherical shaped particles (polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, and polyvinyl chloride). Highly efficient bioCap systems that adsorb the ubiquitous particles released from beverage bags are demonstrated. As evidence of removal from drinking water, the in vivo biodistribution of nano‐/microplastics is profiled, confirming a significant reduction of particle accumulation in main organs. The unique advantage of phenolic‐mediated multi‐molecular interactions is employed in sustainable, cost‐effective, and facile strategies based on wood sawdust support for the removal of challenging nano‐/microplastics pollutions.

AbstractThe tribovoltaic nanogenerator (TVNG), a promising semiconductor energy technology, displays outstanding advantages such as low matching impedance and continuous direct‐current output. However, the lack of controllable and stable performance modulation strategies is still a major bottleneck that impedes further practical applications of TVNG. Herein, by leveraging the ferroelectricity‐enhanced mechanism and the control of interfacial energy band bending, a lead‐free perovskite‐based (3,3‐difluorocyclobutylammonium)2CuCl4 ((DF‐CBA)2CuCl4)/Al Schottky junction TVNG is constructed. The multiaxial ferroelectricity of (DF‐CBA)2CuCl4 enables an excellent surface charge modulating capacity, realizing a high work function regulation of ≈0.7 eV and over 15‐fold current regulation (from 6 to 93 µA) via an electrical poling control. The controllable electrical poling leads to elevated work function difference between the Al electrode and (DF‐CBA)2CuCl4 compared to traditional semiconductors and halide perovskites, which creates a stronger built‐in electric field at the Schottky interface to enhance the electrical output. This TVNG device exhibits outstanding flexibility and long‐term stability (>20 000 cycles) that can endure extreme mechanical deformations, and can also be used in a capsule‐like magnetic suspension device capable of detecting vibration and weights of different objects as well as harvesting energy from human motions and water waves.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe giant circular photo‐galvanic effect is realized in chiral metals when illuminated by circularly polarized light. However, the structure itself is not switchable nor is the crystal chirality in the adjacent chiral domains. Here spindle‐shaped liquid crystalline elastomer microparticles that can switch from prolate to spherical to oblate reversibly upon heating above the nematic to isotropic transition temperature are synthesized. When arranged in a honeycomb lattice, the continuous shape change of the microparticles leads to lattice reconfiguration, from a right‐handed chiral state to an achiral one, then to a left‐handed chiral state, without breaking the translational symmetry. Accordingly, the sign of rotation of the polarized light passing through the lattices changes as measured by time‐domain terahertz spectroscopy. Further, it can locally alter the chirality in the adjacent domains using near‐infrared light illumination. The reconfigurable chiral microarrays will allow us to explore non‐trivial symmetry‐protected transport modes of topological lattices at the light–matter interface. Specifically, the ability to controllably create chiral states at the boundary of the achiral/chiral domains will lead to rich structures emerging from the interplay of symmetry and topology.
