AbstractAnionic and cationic redox chemistries boost ultrahigh specific capacities of Li‐rich Mn‐based oxides cathodes (LRMO). However, irreversible oxygen evolution and sluggish kinetics result in continuous capacity decay and poor rate performance, restricting the commercial fast‐charging cathodes application for lithium ion batteries. Herein, the local electronic structure of LRMO is appropriately modulated to alleviate oxygen release, enhance anionic redox reversibility, and facilitate Li+ diffusion via facile surface defect engineering. Concretely, oxygen vacancies integrated on the surface of LRMO reduce the density of states of O 2p band and trigger much delocalized electrons to distribute around the transition metal, resulting in less oxygen release, enhancing reversible anionic redox and the MnO6 octahedral distortion. Besides, partially reduced Mn and lattice vacancies synchronously stimulate the electrochemical activity and boost the electronic conductivity, Li+ diffusion rate, and fast charge transfer. Therefore, the modified LRMO exhibits enhanced cyclic stability and fast‐charging capability: a high discharging capacity of 212.6 mAh·g−1 with 86.98% capacity retention after 100 cycles at 1 C is obtained and to charge to its 80%, SOC is shortened to 9.4 min at 5 C charging rate. This work will draw attention to boosting the fast‐charging capability of LRMO via the local electronic structure modulation.

AbstractSoft electronics have emerged as a prominent research domain, with diverse applications from medical monitoring to soft robotics. Liquid metal (LM) has emerged as a promising material for soft electronics due to its high electrical conductivity (3.4 × 106 S m−1) and fluidity at room temperature. However, the dispersion of LM nanoparticles and the performance of LM composites in soft electronics applications have not been extensively explored. In this study, a novel approach for the direct dispersion of LM nanoparticles in biocompatible hyaluronic acid (HA) to create multifunctional LM/HA hydrogels is presented. The LM/HA hydrogel displays remarkable electromechanical properties, including high stretchability (2,700%) and conductivity (116 S m−1), as well as excellent sensitivity (GF = 4.8) as a sensing material. Specifically, a facial expression monitoring system is developed utilizing the LM/HA hydrogel as the sensing material, along with a microcontroller, signal‐processing circuits, and a Bluetooth transceiver. The LM/HA hydrogel adheres closely to the skin surface to ensure the accuracy of facial expression monitoring. In summary, this study not only advances the understanding of the properties of LM but also expands the potential application scenarios of multifunctional LM hydrogels in soft robotics and implantable sensors.
Do maximizing consumers engage more in conspicuous consumption?
Authors: Luan Mo , Sun Jin , Li Hong 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWhile much of the previous research has examined the influence of consumers' social and economic states on conspicuous consumption, little attention has been paid to the potential role that consumers' decision‐making tendency plays. This study investigates whether, how, and when maximizing, as a type of decision‐making tendency (both dispositional and situationally primed), influences subsequent decisions regarding conspicuous consumption. Four studies were conducted, revealing that maximizing consumers are more likely to engage in conspicuous consumption than non‐maximizing consumers (Studies 1 and 2). The need for status serves as the underlying mechanism behind this behavior (Study 3). In addition, the observed effect holds only when the situation is public but disappears when it is private (Study 4). As one of the first investigations into the effect that maximizing has on a type of consumption, these findings offer valuable contributions to both theory and practice.

Published: June 2023

AbstractZeolite deactivation induced by coke deposition is a critical problem in the industrialization of the chemical recycling (CR) of plastics. We previously demonstrated that Cr6+ species bonded to silanol groups in the zeolite framework inhibit coke deposition in low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) cracking. In this study, the role of Cr6+ species and the mechanism of coke reduction were determined experimentally. During LDPE cracking, hydrogen was generated from the alkane products at the Cr6+ sites. Furthermore, the hydrogenation and decomposition of aromatics, which are coke precursors, occurred at the zeolitic acid sites, resulting in the reduction of coke deposition. Owing to the synergistic effect of the Cr6+ and zeolitic acid sites, coke reduction was achieved without reducing cracking activity.
Continuous chiral distances for two‐dimensional lattices
Authors: Bright Matthew J. , Cooper Andrew I. , Kurlin Vitaliy A. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractChirality was traditionally considered a binary property of periodic lattices and crystals. However, the classes of two‐dimensional lattices modulo rigid motion form a continuous space, which was recently parametrized by three geographic‐style coordinates. The four non‐oblique Bravais classes of two‐dimensional lattices form low‐dimensional singular subspaces in the full continuous space. Now, the deviations of a lattice from its higher symmetry neighbors can be continuously quantified by real‐valued distances satisfying metric axioms. This article analyzes these and newer G‐chiral distances for millions of two‐dimensional lattices that are extracted from thousands of available two‐dimensional materials and real crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database.
Determination of cannabinoids in 50 μL whole blood samples by online extraction using turbulent flow chromatography and LC‐HRAM‐Orbitrap‐MS: Application on driving under the influence of drugs cases
Authors: Zancanaro Flavio , Tedeschi Gianpaola , Zamengo Luca , Frasson Samuela , Frison Giampietro 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe analysis of cannabinoids in whole blood is usually done by traditional mass spectrometry (MS) techniques, after offline cleanup or derivatization steps which can be lengthy, laborious, and expensive. We present a simple, fast, highly specific, and sensitive method for the determination of Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), 11‐hydroxy‐Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (11‐OH‐THC), and 11‐nor‐9‐carboxy‐Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC‐COOH) in 50 μL whole blood samples. After the addition of deuterated internal standards (IS) and a simple protein precipitation step, an online extraction of sample supernatants using turbulent flow chromatography (TurboFlow—Thermo Scientific) was carried out. Analytes were separated on a C18 analytical column and detected by LC‐HRAM‐Orbitrap‐MS using a Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Focus MS system. MS detection was performed in polarity switching and selected ion monitoring (SIM) modes using five specific acquisition windows, at a resolution of 70,000 (FWHM). Total run time was about 10 min including preanalytical steps. Method validation was carried out by determining limit of detection (LOD), lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ), linearity range, analytical accuracy, intra‐assay and interassay precision, carry‐over, matrix effect, extraction recovery, and selectivity, for all analytes. Measurement uncertainties were also evaluated, and a decision rule was set with confidence for forensic purposes. The method may become suitable for clinical and forensic toxicology applications, taking advantage of the small matrix volume required, the simple and cost‐effective sample preparation procedure, and the fast analytical run time. Performances were monitored over a long‐term period and tested on 7620 driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) samples, including 641 positive samples.
Blockwise acceleration of alternating least squares for canonical tensor decomposition
Authors: Evans David , Ye Nan 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe canonical polyadic (CP) decomposition of tensors is one of the most important tensor decompositions. While the well‐known alternating least squares (ALS) algorithm is often considered the workhorse algorithm for computing the CP decomposition, it is known to suffer from slow convergence in many cases and various algorithms have been proposed to accelerate it. In this article, we propose a new accelerated ALS algorithm that accelerates ALS in a blockwise manner using a simple momentum‐based extrapolation technique and a random perturbation technique. Specifically, our algorithm updates one factor matrix (i.e., block) at a time, as in ALS, with each update consisting of a minimization step that directly reduces the reconstruction error, an extrapolation step that moves the factor matrix along the previous update direction, and a random perturbation step for breaking convergence bottlenecks. Our extrapolation strategy takes a simpler form than the state‐of‐the‐art extrapolation strategies and is easier to implement. Our algorithm has negligible computational overheads relative to ALS and is simple to apply. Empirically, our proposed algorithm shows strong performance as compared to the state‐of‐the‐art acceleration techniques on both simulated and real tensors.
A Brief Review of Research on Priority Queues with Self-Interested Customers
Authors: Cui Shiliang , Wang Zhongbin , Yang Luyi 
Published: June 2023

AbstractPriority queues are seen in a variety of real-world service applications such as theme parks, call centers, order deliveries, and government and healthcare services. Priority queues are often believed to improve efficiency, increasing both service providers’ revenue and social welfare. However, in the face of self-interested customers, queue managers must carefully take into account how customers self-select into priorities and how their queue-joining decisions are affected. This chapter reviews the theoretical literature on priority queues of self-interested customers, with a focus on pay-for-priority schemes.
Holographic torus correlators of stress tensor in AdS3/CFT2

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this work, we investigate holographic correlators of the stress tensor of a conformal field theory (CFT) on a torus within the context of AdS3/CFT2. To compute the correlators of the stress tensor, we employ the Einstein-Hilbert theory of gravity and perturbatively solve Einstein’s equation in the bulk. In addition, we present an explicit prescription for developing a recurrence relation that simplifies the computation of higher point correlators. Our results show that the correlators and recurrence relation are consistent with known results in CFTs. Additionally, in line with the proposed cutoff-AdS/$$ T\overline{T} $$

Inelastic exponentiation and classical gravitational scattering at one loop
Authors: Georgoudis Alessandro , Heissenberg Carlo , Vazquez-Holm Ingrid 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We calculate the inelastic 2 → 3 one-loop amplitude for the scattering of two point-like, spinless objects with generic masses involving the additional emission of a single graviton. We focus on the near-forward, or classical, limit. Our results include the leading and subleading orders in the soft-region expansion, which captures all non-analytic contributions in the transferred momentum and in the graviton’s frequency. This allows us to check the first constraint arising from the inelastic exponentiation put forward in refs. [1–3], and to calculate the 2 → 3 one-loop matrix element of the N-operator, linked to the S-matrix by S = eiN, showing that it is real, classical and free of infrared divergences. We discuss how our results feature in the calculation of the $$ \mathcal{O} $$

Two-loop hard thermal loops for vector bosons in general models
Authors: Ekstedt Andreas 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Hard thermal loops describe how soft gauge fields are screened and damped in hot plasmas. As such they are used to calculate transport coefficients, Sphaleron rates, equations of state, and particle production. However, most calculations are done using one-loop hard thermal loop self-energies. And two-loop contributions can be large. To that end this paper provides vector two-loop self-energies for generic models: any scalar, fermion, or vector representation; and all possible renormalizable terms. Several examples are given to showcase the results. Two-loop results for higher-point functions are also given.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Background
The Orthopedic Frailty Score (OFS) has been proposed as a tool for measuring frailty in order to predict short-term postoperative mortality in hip fracture patients. This study aims to validate the OFS using a large national patient register to determine its relationship with adverse outcomes as well as length of stay and cost of hospital stay.

Methods
All adult patients (18 years or older) registered in the 2019 National Inpatient Sample Database who underwent emergency hip fracture surgery following a traumatic fall were eligible for inclusion. The association between the OFS and mortality, complications, and failure-to-rescue (FTR) was determined using Poisson regression models adjusted for potential confounders. The relationship between the OFS and length of stay and cost of hospital stay was instead determined using a quantile regression model.

Results
An estimated 227,850 cases met the study inclusion criteria. There was a stepwise increase in the rate of complications, mortality, and FTR for each additional point on the OFS. After adjusting for potential confounding, OFS 4 was associated with an almost ten-fold increase in the risk of in-hospital mortality [adjusted IRR (95% CI): 10.6 (4.02–27.7), p < 0.001], a 38% increased risk of complications [adjusted IRR (95% CI): 1.38 (1.03–1.85), p = 0.032], and an almost 11-fold increase in the risk of FTR [adjusted IRR (95% CI): 11.6 (4.36–30.9), p < 0.001], compared to OFS 0. Patients with OFS 4 also required a day and a half additional care [change in median length of stay (95% CI): 1.52 (0.97–2.08), p < 0.001] as well as cost approximately $5,200 more to manage [change in median cost of stay (95% CI): 5166 (1921–8411), p = 0.002], compared to those with OFS 0.

Conclusion
Patients with an elevated OFS display a substantially increased risk of mortality, complications, and failure-to-rescue as well as a prolonged and more costly hospital stay.

AbstractCenotes are spectacular karst formations in Yucatan, Mexico, often used for recreation. However, their impact on water quality has yet to be explored in detail. Therefore, during Easter, water samples were collected from four cenotes to identify variations in water quality associated with the presence of tourists. PCO of water quality, before (PH) and during Holy Week (HW) in 2019, explained 49.02% of the total variation. The indicators contributing to the first principal coordinate’s variation were Sr, K, sulfate, and chloride (0.89). Whereas, alkalinity, temperature, conductivity, nitrate, and ORP contributed to the second PC. PERMANOVA indicated a significant interaction between “cenote” and “condition” factors, and post hoc paired comparisons indicated significant differences between PH and HW conditions. Significant correlations varied among the four cenotes as the result of hydrogeological differences. Whereas, numbers of visitors were correlated with at least one fecal-matter indicator, demonstrating anthropogenic influence on the cenotes’ water quality.
Analgesic effect of oral paracetamol 1000 mg/ibuprofen 400 mg, paracetamol 1000 mg/codeine 60 mg, paracetamol 1000 mg/ibuprofen 400 mg/codeine 60 mg, or placebo on acute postoperative pain: a single-dose, randomized, and double-blind study
Authors: Lyngstad Gaute , Skjelbred Per , Swanson David Michael , Skoglund Lasse Ansgar 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Combining analgesics with different mechanisms of action may increase the analgesic efficacy. The multidimensional pharmacodynamic profiles of ibuprofen 400 mg/paracetamol 1000 mg, ibuprofen 400 mg/paracetamol 1000 mg/codeine 60 mg, and paracetamol 1000 mg/codeine 60 mg and placebo were compared.

Methods
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-centre, outpatient, and single-dose study used 200 patients of both sexes and homogenous ethnicity after third molar surgery (mean age 24 years, range 19–30 years). Primary outcome was sum pain intensity over 6 h (SPI). Secondary outcomes were time to analgesic onset, duration of analgesia, time to rescue drug intake, number of patients taking rescue drug, sum pain intensity difference (SPID), maximum pain intensity difference, time to maximum pain intensity difference, number needed to treat, prevent remedication and harm values, adverse effects, and patient-reported outcome measure (PROM).

Results
Analgesia following ibuprofen and paracetamol combination with or without codeine was comparable. Both were better than paracetamol combined with codeine. Secondary variables supported this finding. Post hoc analysis of SPI and SPID revealed a sex/drug interaction trend in the codeine-containing groups where females experienced less analgesia. PROM showed a significant sex/drug interaction in the paracetamol and codeine group, but not in the other codeine-containing group. Especially females reported known and mild side effects in the codeine-containing groups.

Conclusion
Codeine added to ibuprofen/paracetamol does not seem to add analgesia in a sex-mixed study population. Sex may be a confounding factor when testing weak opioid analgesics such as codeine. PROM seems to be more sensitive than traditional outcome measures.

The introduction history of Hordeum vulgare var. nudum (naked barley) into Fennoscandia
Authors: Hagenblad Jenny , Abbey-Lee Robin , Bashford Leah , Vanhala Tytti , Leino Matti W. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractHordeum vulgare var. nudum (naked barley) is one of the oldest and most common cereals found from Neolithic Fennoscandia. After the Bronze Age, naked barley largely disappeared and was replaced by Hordeum vulgare var. vulgare (hulled barley) and other cereals. During the early 19th century, naked barley of Asian origins was reintroduced to Fennoscandia. In this study, we have genetically characterized samples of Fennoscandian landraces of naked barley which were preserved in gene banks and museum collections. The analyses show that the Fennoscandian naked barley can be split into three groups: First, naked two-row barley, with a likely origin in Asia; second, naked six-row barley, with a likely origin in the eastern Himalayas and introduced during the 19th century; third, naked six-row barley genetically related to the original Fennoscandian hulled barley. The results suggest that this last group represents the ancient form of naked barley, which was possibly introduced in the Neolithic. At that time both naked and hulled barleys were grown and enough gene flow probably occurred between these two subspecies to create a Fennoscandian barley that is genetically distinct, irrespective of whether it is hulled or naked. This hypothesis was further supported by genotyping of the Nud gene, which is responsible for the naked phenotype. All naked barleys which we studied contained the same mutation allele, nud1.a, thus showing that naked Fennoscandian barley arose by crossings between naked and hulled barley and not by new mutations of hulled barley.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Purpose
The present systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) compared the current different neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) regimes for bladder cancer patients to rank them.

Methods
We used the Bayesian approach in NMA of six different therapy regimens cisplatin, cisplatin/doxorubicin, (gemcitabine/cisplatin) GC, cisplatin/methotrexate, methotrexate, cisplatin, and vinblastine (MCV) and (MVAC) compared to locoregional treatment.

Results
Fifteen studies comprised 4276 patients who met the eligibility criteria. Six different regimes were not significantly associated with a lower likelihood of overall mortality rate compared to local treatment alone. In progression-free survival (PFS) rates, cisplatin, GC, cisplatin/methotrexate, MCV and MVAC were not significantly associated with a higher likelihood of PFS rate compared to locoregional treatment alone. In local control outcome, MCV, MVAC, GC and cisplatin/methotrexate were not significantly associated with a higher likelihood of local control rate versus locoregional treatment alone. Nevertheless, based on the analyses of the treatment ranking according to SUCRA, it was highly likely that MVAC with high certainty of results appeared as the most effective approach in terms of mortality, PFS and local control rates. GC and cisplatin/doxorubicin with low certainty of results was found to be the best second options.

Conclusion
No significant differences were observed in mortality, progression-free survival and local control rates before and after adjusting the type of definitive treatment in any of the six study arms. However, MVAC was found to be the most effective regimen with high certainty, while cisplatin alone and cisplatin/methotrexate should not be recommended as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy regime.
