Published: July 2023

AbstractThe accumulation of heat in electronic devices puts forward an urgent demand for thermal interface materials. It is still a great challenge to achieve the good comprehensive performance of high thermal conductivity (TC), insulation, flexibility and tensile strength. In this work, polyester‐based nonwoven fabric (NWF) was coated with boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) by dispersion and interfacial reinforcement of cellulose nanofibers to obtain a three‐dimensional thermally conductive network skeleton (BNNS@NWF). The sandwich‐structured composite film was assembled by introducing alumina (Al2O3)/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layers on the top and bottom surfaces of BNNS@NWF using scratch coating and hot pressing processes. The composite film has a high TC of 6.42 W/mK at 45.8 wt% BNNS content, and has excellent insulation with a volume resistivity of 1.06 × 1015 Ω cm. This is due to the long‐range effective thermal conduction path constructed by BNNS, the bridging effect of Al2O3 and the synergistic effect of the two fillers. PDMS helps the composite film maintain good flexibility and good TC stability after 30 bending cycles. The PET nonwoven interlayer gives the composite film good mechanical properties with a tensile strength of 17.5 MPa. This work provides a strategy for the efficient preparation of flexible composite films with high TC and insulation properties, which is of great importance for the development of innovative thermal interface materials.Highlights

Teacher identity in work with students' psychosocial environment: A systematic review of quantitative research
Authors: Denfeld Annette‐Pascale , Canrinus Esther T. , Dalehefte Inger Marie 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article is a contribution to understanding teacher identity related to working with students' psychosocial environment (PSE). A systematic review of quantitative studies (n = 10) analyzing the relations between components of teacher identity and teachers' work with the PSE is presented. Findings indicate significant relations between the identity components task‐related self‐efficacy and job satisfaction along with likelihood or frequency of intervention in bullying situations. However, results regarding relations between general teaching efficacy or task perception and teachers' approach to bullying were inconclusive. Findings suggest that teachers' self‐efficacy and job satisfaction as identity domains play an important role in students' PSE. This information has implications for teacher education, professional development, and policymakers.
Forgiveness, rumination, and self‐control as the predictors of adolescent life satisfaction: A comparison of two serial mediational models
Authors: Liu Siyi , Lu Aitao 
Published: July 2023

AbstractResearch has documented a bidirectional relationship between forgiveness and self‐control, influencing adolescent satisfaction with life. However, the potential psychosocial mechanisms underpinning this association remain nebulous. In that study, two hypothetical models were compared to disentangle the unique role of forgiveness and self‐control independently on life satisfaction. Four hundred and forty‐eight adolescents completed a multisection questionnaire. After controlling for age and gender, results showed: (a) Forgiveness, rumination, and self‐control are significantly associated with life satisfaction among Chinese adolescents; (b) Rumination and self‐control played serial mediating roles in the association between forgiveness and life satisfaction in Model A; (c) Rumination and forgiveness serially mediated the relationship between self‐control and life satisfaction in Model B; (d) Furthermore, the total effect of self‐control on life satisfaction was stronger than that of forgiveness on life satisfaction. This study provides a new entry point for the unique mechanisms between self‐control/forgiveness and life satisfaction, which has important practical implications for developing effective interventions to improve life satisfaction among adolescents.

Published: July 2023

AbstractA low‐cost plasma‐chemical hybrid process (PCHP) is proposed for simultaneous NOx and SOx treatment. PCHP can be integrated into existing desulfurization reactors by combining plasma oxidation and chemical reduction. PCHP is applied to glass melting furnace emissions with limited denitration technology, achieving higher removal efficiencies of NO, NOx, and SO2 (43%, 38%, and 28%, respectively) by optimizing reductant spray and installation angles. PCHP also improves fuel consumption, with a 0.04 increase in air ratio reducing energy consumption by 3.6 kL/day (equivalent to 6.6 t(CO2)/day reduction). In addition, PCHP allows for the collection and reuse of treated SO2 as sodium sulfate particles, making it a suitable aftertreatment technology for glass manufacturing exhaust.
Composite predictive models for asthma exacerbations or asthma deterioration in pediatric asthmatic patients: A systematic review of the literature
Authors: Rodríguez‐Martínez Carlos E. , Sossa‐Briceño Monica P. , Forno Erick 
Published: July 2023

AbstractA variety of factors have shown to be useful in predicting which children are at high risk for future asthma exacerbations, some of them combined into composite predictive models. The objective of the present review was to systematically identify all the available published composite predictive models developed for predicting which children are at high risk for future asthma exacerbations or asthma deterioration. A systematic search of the literature was performed to identify studies in which a composite predictive model developed for predicting which children are at high risk for future asthma exacerbations or asthma deterioration was described. Methodological quality assessment was performed using accepted criteria for prediction rules and prognostic models. A total of 18 articles, describing a total of 17 composite predictive models were identified and included in the review. The number of predictors included in the models ranged from 2–149. Upon analyzing the content of the models, use of healthcare services for asthma and prescribed or dispensed asthma medications were the most frequently used items (in 8/17, 47.0% of the models). Seven (41.2%) models fulfilled all the quality criteria considered in our evaluation. The identified models may help clinicians dealing with asthmatic children to identify which children are at a higher risk for future asthma exacerbations or asthma deterioration, therefore targeting and/or reinforcing specific interventions for these children in an attempt to prevent exacerbations or deterioration of the disease.
Optimizing Data Processing for Nanodiamond Based Relaxometry

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) center in diamond is a powerful and versatile quantum sensor for diverse quantities. In particular, relaxometry (or T1), can be used to detect magnetic noise at the nanoscale. For experiments with single NV centers the analysis of the data is well established. However, due to relatively low brightness and reproducibility it is beneficial for biological experiments to use ensembles. While increasing the number of NV centers in a nanodiamond leads to more signal, a standardized method to extract information from relaxometry experiments is still missing. This article uses T1 relaxation curves acquired at different concentrations of gadolinium ions to calibrate and optimize the entire data processing flow, from the acquired raw data to the extracted T1. In particular, a bootstrap is used to derive a signal to noise ratio (SNR) that can be quantitatively compared from one method to another. At first, T1 curves are extracted from photoluminescence pulses. This work compares integrating their signal through an optimized window as performed conventionally, to fitting a known function on it. Fitting the decaying T1 curves leads to the relevant T1 value. This work compares here the three most commonly used fit models that are, single, bi, and stretched exponential. This work finally investigates the effect of the bootstrap itself on the precision of the result as well as the use of a rolling window to increase time resolution.
Spatiotemporal relationships in science lessons: Building learning opportunities over time
Authors: Cappelle Vanessa , Franco Luiz Gustavo , Munford Danusa 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this study, we investigated the construction of science learning opportunities focusing on space−time relationships. Guided by ethnography in education, we followed the everyday life of a classroom over their three first years at elementary school. Based on macroanalysis, we examined discursive interactions in temporally distant events and how participants built relationships between these events. Verbal tense, agents in narratives, and relations between texts/contexts guided microanalyses. Results indicate that teacher and students evoked space−time relationships that become an epistemic tool for this class. These relationships structured narratives which the actor in scientific inquiry was the class as a group. Moreover, space−time connections provided articulations between the conceptual, epistemic, and social domains of scientific knowledge in science lessons over time. We discuss methodological contributions of the study, in addition to implications for positioning students as epistemic agents in science learning.

Published: July 2023

AbstractHigh‐performance porous materials with a low carbon footprint provide sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based lightweight foams and can help meet carbon neutrality goals. However, these materials generally face a trade‐off between thermal management capabilities and structural strength. Here, a mycelium composite with a hierarchical porous structure, including both macro‐ and microscale pores, produced from multiple and advanced mycelial networks (elastic modulus of 1.2 GPa) binding loosely distributed sawdust is demonstrated. The morphological, biological, and physicochemical properties of the filamentous mycelium and composites are discussed in terms of how they are influenced by the mycelial system of the fungi and the way they interact with the substrate. The composite shows a porosity of 0.94, a noise reduction coefficient of 0.55 at a frequency range of 250–3000 Hz (for a 15 mm thick sample), a thermal conductivity of 0.042 W m−1 K−1, and an energy absorption of 18 kJ m−3 at 50% strain. It is also hydrophobic, repairable, and recyclable. It is expected that the hierarchical porous structural composite with excellent thermal and mechanical properties can make a significant impact on the future development of highly sustainable alternatives to lightweight plastic foams.
The Interplay of Growth Mechanism and Properties of ZnO Nanostructures for Different Applications
Authors: Clarke Breanna , Ghandi Khashayar 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis review provides a background on the structure and properties of ZnO nanostructures. ZnO nanostructures are advantageous for many applications in sensing, photocatalysis, functional textiles, and cosmetic industries, which are described in this review. Previous work using UV Visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for ZnO nanorod growth analysis in‐solution and on a substrate for determination of optical properties and morphology is discussed, as well as their results in determining the kinetics and growth mechanisms. From this literature review, it is understood that the synthesis process greatly affects nanostructures and properties; and hence, their applications. In addition, in this review, the mechanism of ZnO nanostructure growth is unveiled, and it is shown that by having greater control over their morphology and size through such mechanistic understanding, the above‐mentioned applications can be affected. The contradictions and gaps in knowledge are summarized in order to highlight the variations in results, followed by suggestions for how to answer these gaps and future outlooks for ZnO nanostructure research.

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe Ta/Cr/Pt three‐layer system can be used as a planar x‐ray waveguide, that is to say it can guide an x‐ray beam inside its chromium layer. This property comes from the difference in density and hence in optical index between the two “heavy” or cladding tantalum and platinum layers and the “light” or guiding chromium layer. The waveguide will be efficient provided the layers are a few nanometers thick and that the interfaces are as sharp as possible. To control the quality of the stack, we combine grazing incidence x‐ray fluorescence (GIXRF) and x‐ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements on a series of Ta/Cr/Pt samples, whose only difference is the thickness of the Cr layer. The three considered samples have been deposited by magnetron sputtering and their designed structures are: Ta (8 nm)/Cr (5, 10, and 15 nm)/Pt (14 nm)/Si substrate. The combination of XRR and GIXRF tightens constraints on the parameters used to simulate the stack: thickness, roughness, composition, and density of the layers and their interlayers. For each sample we used six GIXRF curves obtained from three different characteristic x‐ray lines (Ta Lα, Cr Kα, and Pt Lβ2,15) excited at three different incident photons energies (6.25, 10, and 12 keV) as well as one XRR curve obtained at 6.25 keV. The XRR‐GIXRF combined analysis demonstrates that the Ta/Cr/Pt structure is too simplistic and that it is necessary to introduce some interlayers at the top and bottom of the stacks to obtain a reliable agreement between the experimental and simulated GIXRF and XRR curves.

Abstract

Background
For patients with a maxillary transversal deficiency (MTD), various treatment options are available, partly based on the practitioner’s experience. This study aimed to determine a cut-off age for decision making between surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) over orthodontic rapid palatal expansion (ORPE) based on skeletal maturation in a female population.

Methods
A total of 100 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of young females were analyzed on maturation of the pterygomaxillary (PMS), zygomaticomaxillary (ZMS), transpalatal (TPS), and midpalatal (MPS) sutures. Based on the maturation of these four junctions, four independent observers had to determine whether they would prefer ORPE or SARPE to widen the maxilla.

Results
For the PMS, the results show a closure of 83–100% from 13 to 17 years. As for the TPS, a closure of 78–85% was observed from 15 years of age. For the 15- to 17-year-old females, a closed ZMS was present in 32–47%. Regarding MPS, closed sutures presented in 61% (stages D and E) of the 15-year-old females. The cut-off age at which SARPE was recommended was 15.1 years for the orthodontist observers and 14.8 years for the maxillofacial surgeon observers.

Conclusions
Significant maturation of MPS was reached at the age of 15 in a female population. The PMS, TPS, MPS, and ZMS closed sequentially. A comprehensive diagnostic approach is necessary for choosing the appropriate treatment. When in doubt, age could assist decision making in a female population, with a cut-off age of 15 years in favor of SARPE based on this study.
The dynamics of labor force participation: Is all quiet on the Appalachian front?
Authors: Beverly Josh , Stewart Shamar L. , Neill Clinton L. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study examines the divergence and synchronicity of labor force participation rate (LFPR) dynamics across the USA. Using a dynamic factor model with time-varying stochastic volatility, we decompose each state’s LFPR into a national, regional, and state-specific latent factor. We find significant time variation in our factors and heterogeneous labor market responses and relative sensitivities. Our results show that, save for West Virginia, there is no strong Appalachian regional component, and instead, the national and state-specific components explain much of the variation in state LFPRs. Our results suggest the need for more targeted and localized labor market policies during periods of divergence in LFPRs (i.e., recessions and shocks) and federal policies during national economic booms or periods of recovery.

AbstractGlioblastomas (GBs) are one of the most aggressive and invasive intracranial cancers. Recently, it has been postulated that, among other factors, the hedgehog (HH) pathway may be a key factor in this phenomenon. Moreover, it has been reported that small-size silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are characterized by a high cytotoxic effect towards GBs. However, their effect on the sonic hedgehog (SHH) pathway has never been demonstrated in any cancer cells. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the anti-proliferative properties of 5-nm AgNPs on the SHH pathway in the GB cell line (U-87MG) in vitro. The results showed a time- and dose-dependent decrease in the metabolic activity in the U-87MG cells treated with AgNPs, with IC50 reaching 30.41 and 21.16 µg/mL after 24 h and 48 h, respectively, followed by an increase in the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. The co-treatment of the cells with AgNPs and Robotnikinin (SHH inhibitor) abolished and/or strengthened the effect of AgNPs, especially on the SHH mRNA levels and on the PCNA, PTCH1, Gli1, and SUFU protein levels. Interestingly, no changes in the level of ERK1/2, Akt, and SRC kinase protein expression were detected, suggesting a direct impact of AgNPs and/or ROS on the inhibition of the canonical SHH pathway. However, more studies are needed due to the increase in the mTOR protein expression after the treatment of the cells with AgNPs, as in the Robotnikinin treatment. In conclusion, small-size AgNPs are able to inhibit the proliferation of GB cells in vitro by suppressing the canonical SHH pathway.
Correlation Energy of a Weakly Interacting Fermi Gas with Large Interaction Potential
Authors: Benedikter Niels , Porta Marcello , Schlein Benjamin , Seiringer Robert 
Published: July 2023

AbstractRecently the leading order of the correlation energy of a Fermi gas in a coupled mean-field and semiclassical scaling regime has been derived, under the assumption of an interaction potential with a small norm and with compact support in Fourier space. We generalize this result to large interaction potentials, requiring only$$|\cdot | \hat{V} \in \ell ^1 (\mathbb {Z}^3)$$|·|V^∈ℓ1(Z3). Our proof is based on approximate, collective bosonization in three dimensions. Significant improvements compared to recent work include stronger bounds on non-bosonizable terms and more efficient control on the bosonization of the kinetic energy.
Effects of the dopamine depleting agent tetrabenazine in tests evaluating different components of depressive-like behavior in mice: sex-dependent response to antidepressant drugs with SERT and DAT blocker profiles
Authors: Carratalá-Ros Carla , Martínez-Verdú Andrea , Olivares-García Regulo , Salamone John D. , Correa Mercè 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background
Depression is a disorder twice as common in women than in men. There are sex differences in the symptomatology and treatment response to this disorder. Impairments in behavioral activation (i.e. anergia, fatigue) are often seen in people with depression and are highly resistant to treatment. The role of mesolimbic dopamine (DA) in regulating behavioral activation has been extensively studied in male rodents, but little is known in female rodents.

Objective
The present studies assessed potential sex differences in rodent paradigms used to study different components of depressive-like behavior, and in the treatment response to antidepressants with different mechanisms of action.

Methods
Male and female CD1 mice received Tetrabenazine (TBZ), a VMAT-2 blocker that depletes DA and induces depressive symptoms in humans. Mice were tested on the Forced Swim Test, (FST), the Dark–Light box (DL), the elevated plus maze (EPM), Social Interaction (SI) test, and sucrose preference and consumption using the two bottles test. In addition, bupropion (a DA reuptake inhibitor) or fluoxetine (a serotonin reuptake inhibitor) were used to reverse TBZ-induced anergia.

Results
In the FST, bupropion reversed TBZ effects in both sexes but fluoxetine was only effective in female mice. DA depletion did not affect other aspects of depression such as anxiety, sociability or sucrose consumption, and there was no interaction with bupropion on these parameters. In TBZ treated-females SERT-blockers may be effective at reversing anergia in aversive contexts (FST), and potentiating avoidance of anxiogenic stimuli.

Conclusions
Pro-dopaminergic antidepressants seem more efficacious at improving anergia in both sexes than SERT-blockers.
Stomach content analysis of North Sea cephalopods: often-overlooked predators with direct impact on commercially used fish species?
Authors: Oesterwind Daniel , Piatkowski Uwe 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe study of marine food web models has increased during the last years, but input data of important groups such as cephalopods are missing sometimes which restricts the quality of the model results. Cephalopods feed on a variety of preys, ranging from small crustaceans to large commercially important fish species. In turn, they are taken by larger invertebrates, fish, cephalopods, marine mammals and seabirds, which emphasizes their important role in various marine food webs. Our study presents stomach content analyses of various cephalopod species from the North Sea and describes their general feeding trends. The results further support the inclusion of cephalopods as predators into food web models to increase our knowledge of the North Sea ecosystem and to improve its management. Our data in combination with observed increasing biomasses of North Sea cephalopods suggest that the impact of cephalopods in the North Sea food web has increased and that large-sized cephalopods have become more important as predators for commercially exploited fish species during recent years.
