AbstractThe current study examined the psychometric properties of the Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder (PSCD) in a sample of school‐attending adolescent Belgian youth (N = 599; M age = 16.51 years, SD = 1.27). Given the recent interest in the PSCD‐Short Version (PSCD‐SV), this study focused on the 13‐item variant of the PSCD. Study findings showed that the PSCD‐SV had a hierarchical four‐factor structure including the components of grandiose‐manipulative (GM), callous‐unemotional (CU), daring‐impulsive (DI), and conduct disorder (CD). These interrelated factors were found to be internally consistent. The study also showed that the PSCD‐SV total score was positively and significantly related to an alternate measure of psychopathy. Further, the study revealed the PSCD‐SV was meaningfully related to the five‐factor personality domains (i.e., extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness) as well as peer functioning and prosocial behavior. Bivariate correlations demonstrated that the dimensions differed in their associations with external correlates (e.g., peer functioning). Regression analyses showed that the GM, CU, and CD components of the PSCD‐SV were uniquely associated to externalizing difficulties, whereas only the GM and CU components of the PSCD‐SV were associated with low prosocial behaviors. These findings shed light on the conceptual and developmental models for the consideration of psychopathy and conduct problems. The use of the broader psychopathy condition as well as its underpinning dimensions may have important implications for assessment, treatment, and diagnostic manuals. The implications of the current study are further discussed.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundChronic subdural hematoma (CSDH) is one of the most common neurosurgical diseases with atypical manifestations. The aim of this study was to utilize urine metabolomics to explore potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of CSDH.MethodsSeventy‐seven healthy controls and ninety‐two patients with CSDH were enrolled in our study. In total, 261 urine samples divided into the discovery group and validation group were analyzed by LC‐MS. The statistical analysis and functional annotation were applied to discover potential biomarker panels and altered metabolic pathways.ResultsA total of 53 differential metabolites were identified in this study. And the urinary metabolic profiles showed apparent separation between patients and controls. Further functional annotation showed that the differential metabolites were associated with lipid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, biotin metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions. Moreover, one panel of Capryloylglycine, cis‐5‐Octenoic acid, Ethisterone, and 5,6‐DiHETE showed good predictive performance in the diagnosis of CSDH, with an AUC of 0.89 in discovery group and an AUC of 0.822 in validation group. Another five metabolites (Trilobinol, 3′‐Hydroxyropivacaine, Ethisterone, Arginyl‐Proline, 5‐alpha‐Dihydrotestosterone glucuronide) showed the levels of them returned to a healthy state after surgery, showing good possibility to monitor the recovery of CSDH patients.Conclusion and Clinical RelevanceThe findings of the study revealed urine metabolomic differences between CSDH and controls. The potentially diagnostic and prognostic biomarker panels of urine metabolites were established, and functional analysis demonstrated deeper metabolic disorders of CSDH, which might conduce to improve early diagnose of CSDH clinically.

AbstractBACKGROUNDBemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) is a major agricultural insect pest that causes severe economic losses worldwide. Several insecticides have been applied to effectively control this key pest. However, owing to the indiscriminate use of chemical insecticides, B. tabaci has developed resistance against these chemical compounds over the past several years.RESULTSFrom 2019 to 2021, 23 field samples of B. tabaci were collected across China. Twenty species were identified as the Mediterranean ‘Q’ type (MED) and three were identified as MED/ Middle East‐Asia Minor 1 mixtures. Subsequently, resistance of the selected populations to different insecticides was evaluated. The results showed that 13 populations developed low levels of resistance to abamectin. An overall upward trend in B. tabaci resistance toward spirotetramat, cyantraniliprole and pyriproxyfen was observed. In addition, resistance to thiamethoxam remained low‐to‐moderate in the 23 field populations.CONCLUSIONThese findings suggest that the overall resistance of the field‐collected B. tabaci populations has shown an upward trend over the years in China. We believe our study can provide basic data to support integrated pest management and insecticide resistance management of field B. tabaci in China. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Plasmonic Dodecahedral‐Walled Elongated Nanoframes for Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Published: September 2023

AbstractHere, elongated pseudohollow nanoframes composed of four rectangular plates enclosing the sides and two open‐frame ends with four ridges pointing at the tips for near‐field focusing are reported. The side facets act as light‐collecting domains and transfer the collected light to the sharp tips for near‐field focusing. The nanoframes are hollow inside, allowing the gaseous analyte to penetrate through the entire architecture and enabling efficient detection of gaseous analytes when combined with Raman spectroscopy. The resulting nanostructures are named Au dodecahedral‐walled nanoframes. Synthesis of the nanoframes involves shape transformation of Au nanorods with round tips to produce Au‐elongated dodecahedra, followed by facet‐selective Pt growth, etching of the inner Au, and regrowth steps. The close‐packed assembly of Au dodecahedral‐walled nanoframes exhibits an attomolar limit of detection toward benzenethiol. This significant enhancement in SERS is attributed to the presence of a flat solid terrace for a large surface area, sharp edges and vertices for strong electromagnetic near‐field collection, and open frames for effective analyte transport and capture. Moreover, nanoframes are applied to detect chemical warfare agents, specifically mustard gas simulants, and 20 times higher sensitivity is achieved compared to their solid counterparts.

Published: September 2023

AbstractRationally engineered porous structures enable lightweight broadband electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbers for countering radar signals or mitigating EM interference between multiple components. However, the scalability of such structures has been hindered by their limited mechanical properties resulting from low density. Herein, an additively manufactured Kelvin foam‐based EM wave absorber (KF‐EMA) is reported that exhibits multifunctionality, namely EM wave absorption and light‐weighted load‐bearing structures with constant relative stiffness made possible using bending‐dominated lattice structures. Based on tuning design parameters, such as the backbone structures and constituent materials, the proposed KF‐EMA features a multilayered 3D‐printed design with geometrically optimized KF structures made of carbon black‐based backbone composites. The developed KF‐EMA demonstrated an absorbance greater than 90% at frequencies ranging from 5.8 to 18 GHz (average EM wave absorption rates of 95.89% and maximum of 99.1% at 15.8 GHz), while the low‐density structures of the absorber (≈200 kg m−3) still maintained a compression index between the stiffness and relative density (n = 2) under compression. The design strategy paves the way for using metamaterials as mechanically reinforced EM wave absorbers that enable multifunctionality by optimizing unit‐cell parameters through a single and low‐density structure.

AbstractThere have been success stories reported regarding the adoption of agile software development methods in the industry. There also exist observations on their limitations. One of these limitations is scalability since agile methods like Scrum were originally designed for small software teams. Scalable agile frameworks were introduced to address this limitation. We conducted an industrial case study on the adoption of such a framework, called Nexus. Our study involves quantitative and qualitative evaluation based on observations within a product development organization over a period of 12 months. Scrum is used for the development of a product during the first 6 months of this period. Nexus is used in the remaining 6 months. Data are collected throughout the whole period for measuring productivity, quality, and team member motivation. Results suggest a significant increase in productivity and product quality after switching to Nexus. Team motivation was slightly improved as well.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIn recent years, there has been a growing interest in multi‐compartment systems as a means of developing materials that mimic the structure and function of biological cells. These hierarchical systems, including artificial cells and cell‐like reactors, can efficiently perform biochemical tasks by exploiting compartmentalization inspired by biological systems. However, the bottom‐up design of cell mimics presents significant challenges due to the need for precise and efficient assembly of components. This short review examines recent advances in droplet‐based microfluidics (DBM), which has emerged as a powerful technique for creating cell‐like systems with multi‐compartment architectures, precise composition, and biomimetic functionality. DBM has proven to be a reliable method for generating populations of cell‐mimics with a compartment‐in‐compartment structure, some of which have adaptable properties that resemble the dynamic properties of natural cells. Notable examples will be discussed to illustrate how droplet‐based microfluidics provides a versatile approach to create, manipulate, and study cell‐mimics.

Published: September 2023

AbstractPurposeVitamin D receptors (VDR) play important roles in cardiovascular, immune, metabolic and other functions. Activation of VDR may help improve endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, vascular calcification, and cardiac hypertrophy. However, the specific target genes and mechanisms of VDR in improving Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cell (HUVEC) functions remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the function and mechanism of VDR in HUVECs.MethodsEndothelial dysfunction cell model was constructed by oxidized low‐density lipoprotein (ox‐LDL). An animal model of atherosclerosis was established in male homozygous Apoe−/− mice (6 weeks) on a high fat diet for 6 weeks. The relationship between VDR and adrenomedullin (ADM) was studied by bioinformatics analysis, ChIP, and luciferase reporter gene analysis. Endothelial cell function was evaluated by Transwell migration and Tube Formation tests. Ferroptosis was detected by measuring intracellular iron content, levels of oxidative stress markers, and ferroptosis related proteins.ResultsOverexpression of VDR in HUVECs inhibits ox‐LDL‐induced endothelial dysfunction and ferroptosis. VDR binds to the ADM promoter sequence and regulates the transcription of ADM. Inhibition of ADM promotes ox‐LDL‐induced endothelial dysfunction and ferroptosis. ADM regulates ox‐LDL‐induced endothelial dysfunction and ferroptosis through the AMPK signaling pathway. Overexpression of VDR in Apoe−/− mice inhibited lipid deposition and plaque area in atherosclerotic mice.ConclusionVDR inhibits ox‐LDL‐induced endothelial dysfunction and ferroptosis by regulating ADM transcription and acting on AMPK signaling pathway. Overexpression of VDR in Apoe−/− mice reduced lipid deposition and plaque area in the thoracic aorta of atherosclerotic mice.

AbstractObjectiveThe prevalence of prebiotic has increased substantially over the past decades. Little is known on its metabolic effects in zoo herbivores. We investigated the difference in faecal metabolites to characterize the composition and pathways involved after feeding inulin in zoo Baird's tapirs (Tapirus bairdii).MethodsFaecal samples were collected from before inulin treatment group and after treatment groups in six adult tapirs and analysed using untargeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry methods. The differential metabolites identified and metabolic pathways involved were analysed using KEGG annotation.ResultsThe results demonstrated significant alterations in faecal metabolites and metabolic pathways in comparison to the control group. The amounts of differential metabolites and metabolic pathways tended to enrich with time after the treatment. We found that tryptophan and purine metabolism were relevant to the important metabolic pathways of the metabolite differences.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that inulin may have potential applications in captive wildlife, which may provide insights into the effects of prebiotic supplementation on gut metabolites and highlights further research in this field.

Authors: Wang Zhongzhi , Shi Rui , Hao Pengcheng , Qiao Xin , Song Senchuan 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIn this work, a Eu(TTA)3BIP complex with a novel structure was synthesized and characterized. The Eu(TTA)3BIP complex has a wide excitation band and can be excited by light in the ultraviolet and blue regions. The characteristic red light of Eu(III) is emitted when the complex is excited. The use of the 2‐(Pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐1H‐benzo[d]imidazole (BIP) ligand improved the UV resistance of the complex. Moreover, the blue light reducing film prepared by the Eu(TTA)3BIP complex can effectively weaken blue light irradiation. In addition, the Eu(TTA)3BIP complex exhibits fluorescence thermal quenching properties. This provides the possibility for temperature sensing.
Linear seesaw mechanism from dark sector
Authors: Hernández A. E. Cárcamo , Vishnudath K. N. , Valle José W. F. 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We propose a minimal model where a dark sector seeds neutrino mass generation radiatively within the linear seesaw mechanism. Neutrino masses are calculable, since tree-level contributions are forbidden by symmetry. They arise from spontaneous lepton number violation by a small Higgs triplet vacuum expectation value. Lepton flavour violating processes e.g. μ → eγ can be sizeable, despite the tiny neutrino masses. We comment also on dark-matter and collider implications.
Wilson-loop one-point functions in ABJM theory
Authors: Jiang Yunfeng , Wu Jun-Bao , Yang Peihe 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
In this paper we initiate the study of correlation functions of a single trace operator and a circular supersymmetric Wilson loop in ABJM theory. The single trace operator is in the scalar sector and is an eigenstate of the planar two-loop dilatation operator. The Wilson loop is in the fundamental representation of the gauge group or a suitable (super-)group. Such correlation functions at tree level can be written as an overlap of the Bethe state corresponding to the single trace operator and a boundary state which corresponds to the Wilson loop. There are various type of supersymmetric Wilson loops in ABJM theory. We show that some of them correspond to tree-level integrable boundary states while some are not. For the tree-level integrable ones, we prove their integrability and obtain analytic formula for the overlaps. For the non-integrable ones, we give examples of non-vanishing overlaps for Bethe states which violate selection rules.
A lattice model for condensation in Levin-Wen systems
Authors: Christian Jessica , Green David , Huston Peter , Penneys David 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Levin-Wen string-net models provide a construction of (2+1)D topologically ordered phases of matter with anyonic localized excitations described by the Drinfeld center of a unitary fusion category. Anyon condensation is a mechanism for phase transitions between (2+1)D topologically ordered phases. We construct an extension of Levin-Wen models in which tuning a parameter implements anyon condensation. We also describe the classification of anyons in Levin-Wen models via representation theory of the tube algebra, and use a variant of the tube algebra to classify low-energy localized excitations in the condensed phase.
Minimizing the DILI potential of carboxylic acid-containing drugs: a perspective
Authors: Weidolf Lars , Wilson Ian 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDrugs containing carboxylic acid moieties are associated with a range of toxicities, some related directly to their pharmacology and others to the metabolites that they produce on undergoing biotransformations that reduce biological activity and enhance excretion. The reactions involved in metabolism include a wide range of conjugations to the carboxylic acid moiety plus modifications to the spacers used to attach them to the main body of the drug. Here we provide a metabolic perspective on the biotransformations that have been found to occur with drugs that contain a carboxylic acid and discuss the potential of these to cause toxicity. Based on our current understanding of the metabolism of carboxylic acid-containing drugs we then consider approaches that may mitigate toxicity.
Subnetwork constraints for tighter upper bounds and exact solution of the clique partitioning problem
Authors: Belyi Alexander , Sobolevsky Stanislav , Kurbatski Alexander , Ratti Carlo 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWe consider a variant of the clustering problem for a complete weighted graph. The aim is to partition the nodes into clusters maximizing the sum of the edge weights within the clusters. This problem is known as the clique partitioning problem, being NP-hard in the general case of having edge weights of different signs. We propose a new method of estimating an upper bound of the objective function that we combine with the classical branch-and-bound technique to find the exact solution. We evaluate our approach on a broad range of random graphs and real-world networks. The proposed approach provided tighter upper bounds and achieved significant convergence speed improvements compared to known alternative methods.

Abstract
Purpose
The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of radial neck fractures in children and adolescents by percutaneous leverage with Kirschner wire stabilization.

Methods
A retrospective clinical and radiographical evaluation was performed on a cohort of 61 patients (mean age 9.7 years; range 3 to 15) with isolated, unilateral radial neck fractures treated between 2009 and 2019. The mean duration of follow-up was 4.2 years (range 2 to 9 years). All fractures were types III and IV according to Judet’s classification.

Results
After mean follow-up, the radiographic results according to Metaizeau were rated as excellent in 70.5% of respondents, good in 27.9%, satisfactory in 1.6%. According to Mayo Elbow Performance Score, 95.1% of respondents obtained a very good result, 3.3% good, and 1.6% satisfactory. The mean radial neck–shaft angle changed from a mean 51.5° before operation to 3.8° postoperatively (p<0.001). The mean translation was 3.1mm before surgery and 0.5mm postoperatively (p<0.001). No limb axis deviation, elbow joint instability, and infection of the implant insertion site were observed. No statistically significant differences were noted between girls and boys (p>0.05).

Conclusions
Our findings indicate that percutaneous leverage with Kirschner wire stabilization is an effective and safe method for treating isolated radial neck fractures, characterized by a low risk of iatrogenic complications.
