ObjectiveAfter a recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI), some patients develop perilesional or remote hyperintensities (‘caps/tracks’) to the index infarct on T2/FLAIR MRI. However, their clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated the clinicoradiological correlates of ‘caps/tracks’, and their impact on long‐term outcomes following RSSI.MethodsWe identified participants with lacunar stroke and MRI‐confirmed RSSI from 3 prospective studies. At baseline, we collected risk factors, RSSI characteristics, small vessel disease (SVD) features, and microstructural integrity on diffusion imaging. Over 1‐year, we repeated MRI and recorded ‘caps/tracks’ blinded to other data. We evaluated predictors of ‘caps/tracks’, and their association with 1‐year functional (modified Rankin Scale score ≥2), mobility (Timed Up‐and‐Go), cognitive outcomes (Montreal Cognitive Assessment [MoCA] score <26), and recurrent cerebrovascular events (stroke/transient ischemic attack/incident infarct) using multivariable regression.ResultsAmong 185 participants, 93 (50.3%) developed ‘caps/tracks’ first detected at median 198 days after stroke. ‘Caps/tracks’ were independently predicted by baseline factors: larger RSSI, RSSI located in white matter, higher SVD score, and higher mean diffusivity in normal‐appearing white matter (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}], 1.15 [1.07–1.25], 6.01 [2.80–13.57], 1.77 [1.31–2.44], 1.42 [1.01–2.03]). At 1 year, ‘cap/track’ formation was associated with worse functional outcome (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 1.28–8.22), slower gait speed (β: 0.13, 95% CI: 0.01–0.25), and recurrent cerebrovascular events (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.05, 95% CI: 1.05–4.02), but not with cognitive impairment.Interpretation‘Caps/tracks’ after RSSI are associated with worse clinical outcomes, and may reflect vulnerability to progressive SVD‐related injury. Reducing ‘caps/tracks’ may offer early efficacy markers in trials aiming to improve outcome after lacunar stroke. ANN NEUROL 2025

Published: January 2025

AbstractMetal hexacyanoferrates (HCFs), also known as Prussian blue analogues, are ideal cathodes for potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) due to their nontoxicity and cost‐effectiveness. Nevertheless, obtaining metal HCF cathode materials with both long‐term cycling stability and high rate performance remains a daunting challenge. In this study, we present mesoporous single‐crystalline iron hexacyanoferrate (MSC‐FeHCF) microspheres, featuring a single‐crystalline structure that contains interconnected pores spanning the entire crystal lattice. This unique architecture not only enables the electrolyte to fully penetrate into the single crystal, but also shorten the K+ diffusion distance. Additionally, the confinement effect of mesopores on interior water mitigates the excessive side reactions. The stress during battery cycling can be dispersed through multiple paths to alleviate the internal strain. The MSC‐FeHCF microspheres exhibit unprecedented long‐term cycling performance, achieving a specific discharge capacity of 123.5 mAh g−1 at 30 mA g−1 and 87.1 mAh g−1 after 2000 cycles at 500 mA g−1, providing 85.8 % of the initial capacity. More importantly, the MSC‐FeHCF microspheres exhibit high rate capability, delivering 86.7 mAh g−1 at 3 A g−1. This study introduces an innovative strategy for engineering metal HCF cathode materials, thereby opening a novel avenue for the development of high‐efficiency electrode materials for PIBs.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis research examines the transport of three commonly used laboratory solvents (hexane, toluene, and ethanol) with varying solubility parameters through a polymer blend nanocomposite membrane prepared by two‐roll milling. The primary objective was to evaluate how incorporating magnetically active ferrite influences the transport behavior of these solvents in natural rubber‐nitrile rubber (NR‐NBR) blends to enhance chemical resistance and control diffusion. The study revealed that ferrite reduced solvent absorption, diffusion, sorption, and permeation constants at lower loadings, with solubility differences significantly impacting transport properties. Morphological analysis confirmed that fillers reduced swelling coefficients by blocking solvent diffusion channels and improving reinforcement at lower loadings, as validated by cross‐link density. The influence of blend ratio, solvent molecule size, and ferrite content on aromatic and aliphatic solvent diffusion was analyzed, and the data supported the development of mathematical models to predict diffusion behavior and understand transport mechanisms.

Published: January 2025

AbstractThe air rudder electromechanical servo system plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft. However, the immeasurable command output and the mismatched channel between input and unknown disturbance bring great challenges to its controller design. To tackle this issue, this study proposes a disturbance compensation‐based feedback linearization servo control strategy. This approach uses a radial basis function neural network‐based nonlinear observer to estimate the immeasurable command output and disturbance. Subsequently, a feedback linearization control algorithm is employed using these estimations to achieve disturbance compensation for the air rudder electromechanical system. Following the Lyapunov stability theorem, it is proved that the stability of the electromechanical servo system under the designed control algorithm can be guaranteed. At last, extensive simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.
Unsettling subject English in the twenty‐first century
Authors: Elliott Victoria , McLean Davies Larissa 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper uses examples from Australia and England to explore subject English with regard to the multiple metaphors inherent in the terms ‘settling’ and ‘unsettling’. In doing so we are concerned with imagining a future for a subject English curriculum which dislodges it from its imperial, colonial roots. In the first instance, we outline the existing approaches to unsettling English in England and Australia and the challenges and limitations of these approaches and strategies. We also discuss some of the structures and agents which are invested in maintaining the status quo: namely, curriculum and assessment; teacher practices and disciplinary norms; teacher knowledge and CPD; and student context and the purposes of English. We conclude with the implications for a systemic and multi‐layered approach to unsettling. We see this as an opening up of a comparative conversation about subject English across the Anglophone world, the different contexts of unsettling and what that subject might look like if it is to enact the justice imperatives of education in the twenty‐first century.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe circular economy (CE) within the automotive industry has attracted the attention of business leaders, policymakers, and scholars in recognition of the negative impacts of the linear economy of ‘take, make, dispose’. In many developing countries, the absence of manufacturers and their approved service providers means that the automotive CE largely depend on informal micro‐level CE business actors. These business actors are mostly clustered in networked mechanic villages and provide micro‐level CE business opportunities. However, their micro‐level CE practices and business potentials has not been explored in the literature. This paper addresses this important gap by drawing on Network Theory to show how the network CE practices of these business actors contribute to waste reduction, resource conservation, and CE eco‐innovation. We also show a missing connection between the CE practices of these business actors and existing network business models that can be exploited for their benefit. We discuss our contribution in the context of the nuanced characteristics of the micro‐level CE practices and business potentials that emerge from the network of these business actors. Finally, we recommend that automotive industry CE policies focus on integrating the practices of these informal micro‐level CE business actors with macro and meso‐level approaches.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTRedox flow batteries (RFBs) are attractive electrochemical systems for large‐scale energy storage. Despite the most developed ones being those based on vanadium, the search for new chemistries is essential to overcome several problems associated with this metal identified as a critical raw material. All‐iron redox flow battery (A‐IRFB) is an interesting device due to iron abundance and worldwide distribution. However, the poor performance of its negative half‐cell, due to the sluggish plating/stripping processes related to the Fe2+/Fe0 redox pair, negatively impacts its energy efficiency and long‐term performance. Here, it is demonstrated that the addition of a low concentration of NaHSO3 (10 mM), as a novel additive, to an electrolyte formulation based on 0.5 M FeCl2, 3 M NaCl, and 10 mM citric acid (H3Cit) remarkably improves the electrochemical behavior of the negative half‐cell. The enhanced performance can be explained as the additive guarantees a low oxygen solution content (reductant agent), promotes the plating/stripping reactions (improving the kinetics of the Fe0 deposit through the formation of a FeHSO3+ complex), and diminishes the contribution of the competitive hydrogen evolution reaction. The use of this key additive opens up a promising scenario for the development of A‐IRFBs with significantly enhanced electrochemical performance, thus boosting their potential commercial development.
Generalized Mathematical Modeling of Tuned Liquid Column Dampers Under Varying Excitation Amplitudes

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) is an economical and highly efficient device for controlling structural vibrations. Existing research on TLCDs primarily focuses on scenarios where the maximum liquid displacement is less than the initial liquid depth, ensuring that the horizontal tube remains filled with liquid, excluding the presence of gas. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that under substantial external excitation amplitudes, a phenomenon that is not thoroughly encompassed within the confines of the classical TLCD model, the possibility of gas intrusion into the horizontal tube arises. This study develops a generalized theoretical model for TLCDs under varying excitation amplitudes. The developed theoretical model considers the following two working states: (1) no air presence in the horizontal segment, aligning with the classical TLCD model; and (2) air ingress on the left or right side of the horizontal tube. Accordingly, the proposed model encompasses the classical TLCD model as a special instance. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are conducted for TLCDs, and the outcomes are meticulously compared with the predictions from the proposed theoretical model. It is confirmed that the proposed model works well in predicting the hysteretic behavior of the TLCD under different excitation amplitudes. Based on the proposed theoretical model, the effects of the length ratio (the ratio of the horizontal liquid column length to the total liquid column length) on the energy dissipation characteristics, as well as the impacts of the excitation intensity on the control efficiency, are comprehensively investigated. The results indicate that the ingress of gas into the horizontal tube has negative impacts on the TLCD performance. The reported findings hold significant implications for understanding the dynamic behavior of TLCDs under large amplitude excitations.

ABSTRACTBackgroundRadiofrequency ablation guided by ultrasound (RFA‐USG) is an alternative treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients. Despite showing accurate precision and minimal invasion, its efficacy remains questionable.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Portal Regional da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Web of Science databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies evaluating RFA‐USG in PHPT patients. Statistical analysis was performed with R software, version 4.4.3.ResultsEight studies were included with 208 patients with PHPT undergoing RFA‐USG treatment. After 3 months of treatment, parathyroid volume was 0.31 mL (0.16–0.61), Parathyroid hormone (PTH) level was 60.71 pg/mL (53.87–68.42), and calcium level was 5.43 mEq/L (2.63–11.23). The occurrence of hoarseness among the patients was 4.4% (1.64–11.02).ConclusionRFA‐USG is safe for PHPT patients, with associated parathyroid volume reduction and decrease in PTH. However, further study is needed to compare RFA‐USG to the gold standard of surgery for PHPT.
When Neurodiversity and Ethnicity Combine: Intersectional Stereotyping and Workplace Experiences of Neurodivergent Ethnic Minority Employees
Authors: Gottardello Debora , Calvard Thomas , Song Ji‐Won 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the workplace experiences of 51 ethnic minority professionals who self‐identify as neurodivergent, focusing specifically on the impact of intersectional stereotyping within organizations in the United Kingdom and United States. Drawing on models of intersectional stereotyping, the research explores how neurodivergent employees' racial or ethnic minority backgrounds influence their self‐perceptions and experiences regarding prevailing stereotypes in professional environments. Semi‐structured interviews reveal that neurodiversity intersects with ethnicity, to either amplify or mitigate prevailing stereotypes during recruitment, performance evaluations, and career progression. Specifically, for Black and Latinx professionals, neurodiversity intensifies pejorative assumptions, reinforcing deficit stereotypes, while for Asian participants, neurodiversity can contradict the “model minority” stereotype. Neurodivergent behaviors are often seen as cultural mismatches with dominant norms, leading individuals to employ identity management strategies for professional advancement. This study extends general HRM diversity and neurodiversity research agendas by elucidating salient intragroup differences at this intersection, expanding intersectional stereotyping literature to include neurodiversity, and underscoring the practical need for integrated organizational inclusion initiatives that address the complex interrelationships between ethnicity and neurodiversity.
Effect of post application irrigation timing on fungicide efficacy of dollar spot on golf putting greens
Authors: Carpenter Matthew C. , Miller Gerald L. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractEvaluation of the impact of post application (PA) irrigation or rainfall on performance of modern fungicide chemistries is lacking. Spring applications targeting soilborne diseases on putting greens require PA irrigation, which may impact control of foliar diseases such as dollar spot. In this study, four different fungicides with varying phytomobility and modes of action (fluazinam, mefentrifluconazole, pydiflumetofen, and prothioconazole) were applied to a golf course putting green to assess the effect of PA water application on foliar disease control. After fungicide application, 5.1 mm of water was applied to each treatment at four different timings (no water, immediate, 1 h, and 12 h) with an irrigation simulator. The study was replicated twice, once at the 12.8°C soil temperature threshold (May 1) and once when the Smith–Kerns Dollar Spot Prediction Model exceeded 25% probability (May 19). The impact of PA irrigation timing on fungicide efficacy for dollar spot control timing varied among the different fungicides and run timing. Effective fungicide chemistries applied earlier in the spring and applied during predicted favorable conditions for disease development both provided dollar spot control to June 25 and 27, respectively.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTSulcardine sulfate (Sul) is a novel antiarrhythmic agent blocking multiple channels and exhibits unique pharmacological properties such as lower APD‐dependent prolongation and reduced arrhythmia risk. Sul is currently in Phase III clinical trials, yet studies on its long‐term toxicological profile and potential target organs remain unexplored. This study investigated the related toxicity of Sul in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats through repeated oral administration for 26 weeks, followed by a 4‐week recovery period. Consistent with the clinical intended mode of administration, Sul was administered via oral gavage at daily doses of 0, 175, 350, and 700/525 mg/kg in rats. On account of clinically observed body weight loss of male and female rats in the high‐dose group compared with the control group, with one female rat in the high‐dose group dying after 8 weeks of administration, the high dose was adjusted to 525 mg/kg. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in male rats significantly increased in the medium‐ and high‐dose groups, whereas female rats in these groups showed a significant rise in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, accompanied by varying degrees of weight gain in the liver and lungs. Additionally, brownish‐red pigment deposition was observed in hepatocytes and Kupffer cells across all dosing groups, along with foam cell deposition in the alveolar cavities. Concomitant toxicokinetics showed that the drug accumulated to some extent in the animals. Consequently, the liver and lungs were identified as potential target organs, and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was determined to be 175 mg/kg.

ABSTRACTSulfoxaflor (SFX) is an insecticide that is commonly used for the control of sap‐feeding insects. Since SFX is extensively applied globally, it has been implicated in the substantial induction of environmental toxicity. Therefore, in this study, Allium cepa roots have been employed to elucidate the potential cytogenotoxic effects of SFX in non‐target cells by examination of mitotic index (MI), chromosomal aberrations (CAs), and DNA damage. Physiological effects of SFX were evaluated by A. cepa root growth inhibition assay, while cytogenotoxic effects were assessed by A. cepa ana‐telophase and comet assay. Moreover, DNA binding affinity and binding mode of SFX were examined using molecular docking simulations to shed light on the genotoxic mechanism of action. The half maximal effective concentration (EC50) on the growth of A. cepa cells calculated for SFX was found as 500 mg/L. Moreover, dose‐ and time‐dependent decrease in MI, increase in CAs (disturbed ana‐telophase, chromosomal laggards, stickiness, and anaphase chromosome bridge) and DNA damage were observed by the exposure of A. cepa root tips to SFX after 24‐, 48‐, 72‐, and 96‐h treatment periods. A 6‐bp double‐stranded DNA structure containing two intercalation sites (PDB ID: 1Z3F) was used for docking studies. According to DNA docking results, SFX exhibited an energetically more favorable binding affinity with DNA (ΔG = −5.05 kcal/mol) compared with the experimental mutagen methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) (ΔG = −2.94 kcal/mol), and preferentially snugly fits into the minor groove of DNA possessing an intercalation gap, thus, providing valuable mechanistic data into the formation of chromosome aberrations and DNA fragmentation induced by this pesticide in A. cepa.

Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundBread made from refined Triticum aestivum L. flour, a staple food in large parts of the world, is considered a nutrient security risk. Strategies used to enhance the nutritional and functional properties of wheat‐derived food products include the use of semi‐ or wholegrain flour, old genotypes, and enrichment through fortification. Limited studies exist on biofortifying staples with neglected and underutilized species. The innovative approach of the present study was to combine all aforementioned strategies, which involved the enrichment of semi‐wholegrain and wholegrain bakery products derived from an organically cultivated mix of five T. aestivum soft wheat landraces (Andriolo and Gentil Rosso) and old varieties (Frassineto, Inallettabile, and Verna) with Urtica dioica L. (stinging nettle [SN]), also cultivated under sustainable management.ResultsThe organoleptic assessment showed that the enrichment of semi‐wholegrain and wholegrain traditional Italian bakery products with 3% SN was appreciated for the first time by free tasters representing the “health conscious” sector of the population. Moreover, the functional component content (fiber, polyphenols, flavonoids, and antiradical activity) significantly exceeded that reported previously for refined flour.ConclusionConsumer acceptance of SN‐enriched wholegrain bakery products shows potential to meet the increased demand for fortified products, with the raw ingredients suited for cultivation under environmentally sustainable management practices.
