AbstractLithium metal anodes are the most hopeful candidate for new‐generation energy storage batteries because of their high energy‐density and low electrochemical redox potential. However, the sluggish ion diffusion and nonuniform electric field in lithium anodes hinder their high rate properties and long‐life performance with deep capacities. Here, a highly interconnected 3D metallic Cu&CuAux matrix with both low‐tortuosity (1.3) and ultrahigh porosity (81.5%) is fabricated by using a high energy heavy ion‐tracking method. As a consequence, the 3D metallic Cu&CuAux matrix can highly accelerate the transfer of Li+ and reduce the Li nucleation barrier during the Li deposition process due to its low‐tortuosity and ultrahigh porosity. Furthermore, finite element simulation reveals that the unique 3D Cu&CuAux structure can highly homogenize the electric field and Li‐ion flux as well as decrease the lithium‐ion concentration gradient in Li anodes. As a result, the composite 3D Cu&CuAux‐Li anodes exhibit ultrahigh cycle life more than 2000 h and high rate capabilities. Full cells consisting of the 3D Cu&CuAux‐Li anodes and LiFePO4 cathodes also demonstrate a good capability and stable cycle life up to 200 cycles.

AbstractCoupling Li‐rich Mn‐based oxide (LRMO) cathodes with lithium metal anodes is crucial to enabl high‐energy batteries. However, capacity decline of LRMO caused generally by unexpected parasitic reactions needs to be solved. Herein, an anion synergistic strategy is developed to manipulate the solvation structure to boost the electrochemical performance of high‐voltage lithium batteries. Multi‐salt electrolytes containing TFSI−, DFOB−, and DFBOP− anions are formulated via facilitating a distinctive aggregate, Li+‐(DFBOP−)0.10(DFOB−)0.49(TFSI−)0.51EC0.63EMC2.49DEC0.77, which can reduce the penetration of other anions into the first solvation sheath and strengthen the interaction between Li+ ions and solvent molecules simultaneously. The solvation structure is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) and its feature is found to be able to enhance the transport kinetics of Li+ effectively and favor the formation of an inorganic‐rich interphase. Corrosion of the Al collector is retarded effectively by a cathode−electrolyte interphase (CEI) constructed by the decomposition of DFBOP−, thereby enhancing the cyclability. In addition, Li||LRMO cell can retain its 85% initial capacity after 650 cycles at 1 C. This study provides a guideline to formulate high‐voltage electrolytes with excellent kinetics by regulating the microstructures of solvation and interphases via anion formulation engineering.

Published: May 2023

AbstractManagement decisions like planting density and tillage could influence soybean seed composition through their impacts on competition and soil properties. To determine if either of these management decisions could help improve soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed quality in the southeastern United States, field experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of planting density and tillage on seed composition. Five soybean genotypes were examined in multiple environments across three plant densities from 204,000 to 476,000 plants ha−1, and in conventional tillage compared to no‐till. In two of the three environments, seed protein concentration was higher at higher plant densities. Tillage did not affect seed protein concentration, but conventional tillage improved yield when compared with no‐till in two of four environments, resulting in higher protein yield under conventional tillage in these environments. Plant density may be an important management decision to consider for improving soybean seed protein in specific environments in the southeastern United States, and further research could help determine the specific environmental attributes that lead to a density benefit for seed protein.

AbstractGrowers in the United States (US) southeast are often recommended to reduce nitrogen (N) fertilization after peanut (Arachis hypogaeaL.) by cooperative Extension services. However, these guidelines are not supported by the scientific literature. An experiment was conducted to quantify N contributions from peanut residues to a subsequent carinata (Brassica carinata) crop. A 3 (history: cotton [Gossypium hirsutumL.], peanut, fallow) × 5 (N rates: 0, 34, 67, 101,134 kg N ha−1) factorial randomized complete block split‐plot design was conducted over four site‐years during the 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 seasons at Jay, FL, USA. Peanut and cotton were planted under strip tillage, whereas carinata was drilled into peanut and cotton residues and weed‐free fallow plots. Although peanut residues accumulated 54–78 kg N ha−1, inorganic N content behind former peanut plots at the 0–15 cm depths, ranged from 6 to 8 and 8 to 11 kg N ha−1in 2018–2019 and 2019–2020 season, respectively. Cropping history differences for carinata normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) were pronounced at lower N rates in one out of four site‐years during which NDVI behind former cotton plots was lower than former peanut and fallow plots. Carinata seed yield behind former peanut plots was similar to unfertilized fallow based on four site‐years of data. Nonlinear regression models predicted that N rates required to optimize carinata seed yield following peanut would exceed 134 kg N ha−1thereby indicating negligible peanut N credits. These results support a growing body of literature that suggests minimal N credits after peanut under humid southeastern US conditions.

AbstractThoracic esophagectomy is a particularly invasive and complicated surgical procedure, with a reconstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, such as the stomach, jejunum, or colon. The posterior mediastinal, retrosternal, and subcutaneous routes are the three possible esophageal reconstruction routes. Each route has advantages and disadvantages, and the optimal reconstruction route after esophagectomy remains controversial. Additionally, the best anastomotic techniques after esophagectomy in terms of location (Ivor Lewis or McKeown) and suturing (manual or mechanical) are debatable. Our meta‐analysis investigating postoperative complications after esophagectomy between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes revealed that the posterior mediastinal route was associated with a significantly lower anastomotic leakage rate than the retrosternal route (odds ratio = 0.78, 95% confidence interval: 0.70–0.87, p < 0.0001). Conversely, pulmonary complications (odds ratio = 0.80, 95% confidence interval: 0.58–1.11, p = 0.19) and mortality between the posterior mediastinal and retrosternal routes (odds ratio = 0.79, 95% confidence interval: 0.56–1.12, p = 0.19) were not significantly different. However, the incidence of pneumonia may be lower when using the retrosternal route rather than the posterior mediastinal route for performing minimally invasive esophagectomy. The McKeown procedure is oncologically necessary for tumors located above the carina to dissect upper mediastinal and cervical lymph nodes; however, the Ivor Lewis procedure offers perioperative and oncological safety for tumors located under the carina. An individualized treatment strategy for selecting the optimal reconstruction procedure can be proposed in future studies based on oncological and patient risk factors considering mid‐ to long‐term quality of life.

Published: May 2023

AbstractPsychology is grounded in the ethical principles of beneficence and nonmaleficence, that is, “do no harm.” Yet many have argued that psychology as a field is attached to carceral systems and ideologies that uphold the prison industrial complex (PIC), including the field of community psychology (CP). There have been recent calls in other areas of psychology to transform the discipline into an abolitionist social science, but this discourse is nascent in CP. This paper uses the semantic device of “algorithms” (e.g., conventions to guide thinking and decision‐making) to identify the areas of alignment and misalignment between abolition and CP in the service of moving us toward greater alignment. The authors propose that many in CP are already oriented to abolition because of our values and theories of empowerment, promotion, and systems change; our areas of misalignment between abolition and CP hold the potential to evolve. We conclude with proposing implications for the field of CP, including commitments to the belief that (1) the PIC cannot be reformed, and (2) abolition must be aligned with other transnational liberation efforts (e.g., decolonization).

AbstractIntroductionMining is an industry with diverse, demanding occupational exposures. Understanding the prevalence of chronic health conditions in working miners is an area of active research. Of particular interest is how the health of miners compares to that of workers in other industry sectors with a high proportion of manual labor occupations. By comparing similar industries, we can learn what health conditions may be associated with manual labor and with individual industries. This study analyzes the prevalence of health conditions in miners compared to workers employed in other manual‐labor‐reliant industries.MethodsNational Health Interview Survey public data were analyzed for the years 2007–2018. Mining and five other industry groups with a high proportion of manual labor occupations were identified. Female workers were excluded because of small sample sizes. The prevalence of chronic health outcomes was calculated for each industry group and compared to that of nonmanual labor industries.ResultsCurrently‐working male miners showed increased prevalence of hypertension (in those age <55 years), hearing loss, lower back pain, leg pain progressing from lower back pain, and joint pain, compared to nonmanual labor industries workers. Construction workers also demonstrated a high prevalence of pain.ConclusionMiners demonstrated increased prevalence of several health conditions, even when compared to other manual labor industries. Given previous research on chronic pain and opioid misuse, the high pain prevalence found among miners suggests mining employers should reduce work factors that cause injury while also providing an environment where workers can address pain management and substance use.
Cytosolic calcium: Judge, jury and executioner of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease and beyond

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis review discusses the driving principles that may underlie neurodegeneration in dementia, represented most dominantly by Alzheimer's disease (AD). While a myriad of different disease risk factors contribute to AD, these ultimately converge to a common disease outcome. Based on decades of research, a picture emerges where upstream risk factors combine in a feedforward pathophysiological cycle, culminating in a rise of cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]c) that triggers neurodegeneration. In this framework, positive AD risk factors entail conditions, characteristics, or lifestyles that initiate or accelerate self‐reinforcing cycles of pathophysiology, whereas negative risk factors or therapeutic interventions, particularly those mitigating elevated [Ca2+]c, oppose these effects and therefore have neuroprotective potential.

AbstractPiezochromic materials with pressure‐dependent photoluminescence tuning properties are important in many fields, such as mechanical sensors, security papers, and storage devices. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as an emerging class of crystalline porous materials (CPMs) with structural dynamics and tunable photophysical properties, are suitable for designing piezochromic materials, but there are few related studies. Herein, we report two dynamic three‐dimensional COFs based on aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) or aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) chromophores, termed JUC‐635 and JUC‐636 (JUC=Jilin University China), and for the first time, study their piezochromic behavior by diamond anvil cell technique. Due to the various luminescent groups, JUC‐635 has completely different solvatochromism and molecular aggregation behavior in the solvents. More importantly, JUC‐635 with AIE effect exhibits a sustained fluorescence upon pressure increase (≈3 GPa), and reversible sensitivity with high‐contrast emission differences (Δλem=187 nm) up to 12 GPa, superior to other CPMs reported so far. Therefore, this study will open a new gate to expand the potential applications of COFs as exceptional piezochromic materials in pressure sensing, barcoding, and signal switching.
Diastereoselective Biomimetic Synthesis of Dimeric Tetrahydrocarbazoles via a Copper(II)‐Catalyzed Cycloisomerization‐[3+2] Cyclodimerization Cascade
Authors: Roy Debayan , Baire Beeraiah 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe cyclodimerization (homochiral‐ and heterochiral−) of monomeric units for the construction of stereodefined polycyclic systems is a powerful strategy in both biosynthesis and biomimetic synthesis. Herein we have discovered and developed a CuII‐ catalyzed, biomimetic, diastereoselective tandem cycloisomerization‐[3+2] cyclodimerization of 1‐(indol‐2‐yl)pent‐4‐yn‐3‐ol. This novel strategy operates under very mild conditions, providing access to structurally unprecedented dimeric tetrahydrocarbazoles fused to a tetrahydrofuran unit in excellent yields of the products. Several fruitful control experiments, isolation of the monomeric‐cycloisomerized products and their subsequent conversion into the corresponding cyclodimeric products supported their intermediacy and the possible mechanism as a cycloisomerization‐diastereoselective [3+2] cyclodimerization cascade. The cyclodimerization involves a substituent controlled, highly diastereoselective homochiral [3+2] annulation or heterochiral [3+2] annulation of in situ generated 3‐hydroxytetrahydrocarbazoles. The key and important features of this strategy are: a) construction of three new C−C bonds & one new C−O bond; b) creation of two new stereocenters, and c) construction of three new rings, in a single operation; d) low catalyst loading (1–5 mol %); e) 100 % atom economy; and f) rapid construction of structurally unprecedented natural product like polycyclic frameworks. A chiral pool version using an enantio‐ and diastereopure substrate was also demonstrated.

AbstractCatalytic reduction of a representative set of imines, both aldimines and ketimines, to amines has been studied using transfer hydrogenation from 1,4‐dicyclohexadiene. Unusually, this has been achieved using s‐block pre‐catalysts, namely 1‐metallo‐2‐tert‐butyl‐1,2‐dihydropyridines, 2‐tBuC5H5NM, M(tBuDHP), where M=Li–Cs. Reactions have been monitored in C6D6 and tetrahydrofuran‐d8 (THF‐d8). A definite trend is observed in catalyst efficiency with the heavier alkali metal tBuDHPs outperforming the lighter congeners. In general, Cs(tBuDHP) is the optimal pre‐catalyst with, in the best cases, reactions producing quantitative yields of amines in minutes at room temperature using 5 mol % catalyst. Supporting the experimental study, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations have also been carried out which reveal that Cs has a pathway with a significantly lower rate determining step than the Li congener. In the postulated initiation pathways DHP can act as either a base or as a surrogate hydride.
Assessment of the effect on the plasticizer diffusion of inorganic fillers in plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) composite films for cable sheath applications
Authors: Tüzüm Demir A. P. , Ergün Y. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn cable sheath applications, plasticizer migration is important as it causes reduction in mechanical properties, deterioration, and pollution in transported environments. This study focuses on the effect of inorganic fillers on the diffusion of plasticizers from plasticized‐PVC cable films. Plastisols were prepared by mixing plasticizer, thermal stabilizers, and inorganic fillers (boric acid, boron clay, sintered calcined boron waste clay, talc, and zircon oxide) into the PVC resin. Plastigel films were cured and thermally aged at 100, 130, and 160°C. Oxidation index were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The diffusion coefficient and activation energies were calculated from mass loss. Thermogravimetric analysis analyses were performed to obtain weight loss. Fillers were characterized for their zeta potential, particle size distribution, polydispersion. Morphology of the fillers was also conducted using scanning electron microscopy. Their mechanical and rheological analyses were evaluated with the tensile and melt flow index test. The order of diffusivity was determined as the films having boric acid > undoped > talc = sintered boron clay > zircon > boron clay. The result of this evaluations is the addition of inorganic filler increases the mechanical and thermal applicability and reduces the plasticizer diffusion. It is thought that the results, will contribute to the studies on the plasticizer transition in cable applications.

Published: May 2023

AbstractModular converters are employed for ultra‐large ship degaussing systems to improve the magnetic stealth capability. However, the degaussing performance could be compromised by the inconsistent current in various modules. Therefore, current synchronization is a crucial issue in the control of distributed multi‐converter systems (DMCSs). To meet the high requirement of such an industrial scenario, a distributed cooperative control scheme is conceived for DMCSs in this paper. The consensus and stability of the DMCS are analyzed, in contrast to existing works that only take consensus into account, and the necessary and sufficient conditions are derived with the constructed closed‐loop control system. Then, the tailor‐made controller design guideline is presented. Different cases of a cyber‐physical DMCS in the MATLAB/SimPowerSystems environment are examined to confirm the viability. Furthermore, experiments with a multi‐converter prototype system are carried out to confirm the efficiency of the proposed control method. Results from simulations and experiments are in line with the theoretical analysis, validating the efficacy.
Domain‐general and domain‐specific functional networks of Broca's area underlying language processing
Authors: Bulut Talat 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIntroductionDespite abundant research on the role of Broca's area in language processing, there is still no consensus on language specificity of this region and its connectivity network.MethodsThe present study employed the meta‐analytic connectivity modeling procedure to identify and compare domain‐specific (language‐specific) and domain‐general (shared between language and other domains) functional connectivity patterns of three subdivisions within the broadly defined Broca's area: pars opercularis (IFGop), pars triangularis (IFGtri), and pars orbitalis (IFGorb) of the left inferior frontal gyrus.ResultsThe findings revealed a left‐lateralized frontotemporal network for all regions of interest underlying domain‐specific linguistic functions. The domain‐general network, however, spanned frontoparietal regions that overlap with the multiple‐demand network and subcortical regions spanning the thalamus and the basal ganglia.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that language specificity of Broca's area emerges within a left‐lateralized frontotemporal network, and that domain‐general resources are garnered from frontoparietal and subcortical networks when required by task demands.

AbstractBackgroundThe most common and deadly cancer in female is breast cancer (BC) and new incidence and deaths related to this cancer are rising.AimsSeveral issues, that is, high cost, toxicity, allergic reactions, less efficacy, multidrug resistance, and the economic cost of conventional anti‐cancer therapies, has prompted scientists to discover innovative approaches and new chemo‐preventive agents.MaterialsNumerous studies are being conducted on plant‐based and dietary phytochemicals to discover new‐fangled and more advanced therapeutic approaches for BC management.ResultWe have identified that natural compounds modulated many molecular mechanisms and cellular phenomena, including apoptosis, cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis, up‐regulation of tumor‐suppressive genes, and down‐regulation of oncogenes, modulation of hypoxia, mammosphere formation, onco‐inflammation, enzymatic regulation, and epigenetic modifications in BC. We found that a number of signaling networks and their components such as PI3K/Akt/mTOR, MMP‐2 and 9, Wnt/‐catenin, PARP, MAPK, NF‐κB, Caspase‐3/8/9, Bax, Bcl2, Smad4, Notch1, STAT3, Nrf2, and ROS signaling can be regulated in cancer cells by phytochemicals. They induce up‐regulation of tumor inhibitor microRNAs, which have been highlighted as a key player for ani‐BC treatments followed by phytochemical supplementation.ConclusionTherefore, this collection offers a sound foundation for further investigation into phytochemicals as a potential route for the development of anti‐cancer drugs in treating patients with BC.
