Authors: Qian Weijie , Chen Chao , Gong Liwu , Zhang Wei 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWith the continuous promotion of the energy revolution, the market-oriented reform of electricity has become the first priority in the energy field, and small-scale energy storage devices on the user side have received more and more attention. However, the disorderly management mode of user-side energy storage not only causes a waste of resources, but also brings hidden dangers to the safe operation of the power grid, such as stability, scheduling and operation, power quality and other problems. To address this issue, this paper proposes a user-side shared energy storage pricing strategy based on Nash game. Firstly, an optimal operation model is established for each participant of energy storage operators, users and grid. Secondly, a cooperative game model is established based on Nash equilibrium theory for the participants under the constraints. Finally, the optimal pricing scheme is solved by simulation analysis of the model, and the feasibility of the proposed pricing mechanism is verified. The results show that the optimal pricing scheme can achieve the purpose of peak shaving and resource saving. At the same time, it can also realize the win–win situation for all parties.

AbstractA systematic study is currently demonstrated approach for approving the superior role of silver and palladium metallic particles in acting the role of mordant with acquiring the dyed cotton fabrics excellence in color fastness with additional functions of antimicrobial potentiality and UV-protection action. Whereas, samples were dyed with extract of red peanuts skin as natural textile colorant (RPN dye). The represented data revealed that, in absence of mordant, the samples treated with metal precursors prior to dyeing were exhibited with the excellent color strength, color fastness, antimicrobial action and UV-protection action. Color fastness (washing, rubbing and light fastness) was estimated to be in the range of very good–excellent. Sample pretreated with silver salt and dyed in the absence of mordant was graded with excellent UV-protection action (UPF 31.5, UVB T% 2.6% and UVB blocking percent 97.4%). Antimicrobial potency against E. coli, S. aureus and Candida albicans through inhibition zone and the reduction percent was approved to be in the range of excellence (93.01–99.51%) for the samples dyed in absence of mordant and pretreated with either silver or palladium precursors.
Fabrication and evaluation of vitamin doped Zno/AgNPs nanocomposite based wheat gluten films: a promising findings for burn wound treatment
Authors: Sajjad Anila , Ali Hussain , Zia Muhammad 
Published: September 2023

AbstractBurn wound treatment remains a significant issue in wound care management especially when multidrug resistant bacterial infection and accumulation are present. Delayed wound healing is mostly due to ineffectiveness of commercially available wound dressings that protects the wound but less efficient in healing perspective. Therefore, nano-based wound dressing might be efficient solution for wound healing management. The present study reports the fabrication and evaluation of zinc oxide (ZnO) or silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) capped with vitamin A or E nanocomposite that were incorporated in wheat gluten (WG) films. The chemical structure, phase purity, and morphological features confirmed the successful coating of NPs by vitamins A and E and their interaction with WG during film casting. The maximum swelling response was observed by NPs vitamin composite WG films than control films while slow release of vitamins and NPs from films was observed up to 24 h. WG films either carrying ZnO or Ag NPs, and vitamin A or E demonstrated significant antioxidant and antibacterial potential. The NPs-vitamin composite loaded WG films showed wound contraction within 14 days during in vivo burn wound healing experiments on mice model. The rates of wound healing, re-epithelialization, collagen deposition with fibroblast regeneration, adipocytes, and hair follicle development were observed through visual and histopathological examination. The study reveals that vitamin A or E doped ZnO or Ag NPs fabricated in WG can be efficiently used against burn wounds due to their physiochemical and biological properties. Furthermore the biocompatible nature and biodegradable potential make the films more prone to mankind maneuver for initial protection and healing remedy.

Published: September 2023

Context.Tensions between the diffuse gamma-ray sky observed by theFermiLarge Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT) and the diffuse, high-energy neutrino sky detected by the IceCube South Pole Neutrino Observatory raise questions about our knowledge of high-energy neutrino sources in the gamma-ray regime. While blazars are among the most energetic persistent particle accelerators in the Universe, studies suggest that they could account for up to 10–30% of the neutrino flux measured by IceCube.Aims.Our recent results highlight that the associated IceCube neutrinos arrived in a local gamma-ray minimum (dip) of three strong neutrino point-source candidates. Here, we increase the sample of neutrino-source candidates in order to study their gamma-ray light curves.Methods.We generated the one-yearFermi-LAT light curve for eight neutrino-source candidate blazars (RBS 0958, GB6 J1040+0617, PKS 1313-333, TXS 0506+056, PKS 1454-354, NVSS J042025-374443, PKS 0426-380, and PKS 1502+106), centered on the detection time of the associated IceCube neutrinos. We applied the Bayesian block algorithm to the light curves to characterize their variability.Results.Our results indicate that GB6 J1040+0617 was in a phase of high gamma-ray activity, while none of the other seven neutrino-source candidates were statistically bright during the detection of the corresponding neutrinos; indeed, most of the time neutrinos arrived in a faint gamma-ray phase of the light curves. This suggests either that the eight source candidate blazars (associated with seven neutrino events) in our reduced sample are not the sources of the corresponding IceCube neutrinos, or that an in-source effect (e.g., the suppression of gamma rays due to high gamma-gamma opacity) complicates the multimessenger scenario of neutrino emission for these blazars.
Unveiling the Molecular Mechanisms Behind the Devastating Impact of the ALK Protein on Pediatric Cancers: Insights into Deleterious SNPs through In Silico Predictions, Molecular Docking, and Dynamics Studies
Authors: Almazroea Abdulhadi 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction Pediatric cancers present significant challenges in terms of diagnosis and treatment, and the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein has emerged as a crucial molecular target in these malignancies. ALK, a receptor tyrosine kinase, plays a vital role in normal cellular processes, but genetic alterations and aberrant activation of the ALK gene have been implicated in various pediatric cancer types. While genetic alterations have been well studied, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenicity of the ALK protein in pediatric cancers remain poorly understood.
Objective In this study, the primary objective is to uncover the molecular mechanisms associated with the effects of deleterious single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the structure and functionality of the ALK protein.
Material and Methods Several known point mutations of the ALK protein were taken for the in silico predictions such as PolyPhen-2, SIFT, PANTHER, PredictSNP, etc., residue conservation analysis using Consurf server, molecular docking (AutoDock), and molecular dynamics simulation studies (GROMACS).
Results The computation predictions found that the studied variants are deleterious in different tools. The residue conservation analysis reveals all the variants are located in highly conserved regions. The molecular docking study of wild-type and mutant structures with the crizotinib drug molecule found the variants were modulating the binding cavity and had a strong impact on the binding affinity. The binding energy of the wild-type is –5.896 kcal/mol, whereas the mutants have –9.988 kcal/mol. The specific amino acid Ala1200 of wild-type was found to interact with crizotinib, and Asp1203 residue was found to interact predominantly in the mutant structures.
Conclusion The simulation study differentiates the variants in terms of structural stability and residue fluctuation. Among the studied variants, R1275Q, F1245V, and F1174L had strong deleterious effects, structural changes, and pathogenicity based on the in silico predictions. By elucidating the functional consequences of deleterious mutations within the ALK gene, this research may uncover novel therapeutic targets and personalized medicine approaches for the management of pediatric cancers. Ultimately, gaining insights into the molecular mechanisms of the ALK protein's role in driving response and resistance will contribute to improving patient outcomes and advancing our understanding of this complex disease.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Introduction Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are heterogeneous group of neoplasms with relatively low incidence. Diagnosis of NENs requires an integrated approach of histology, immunohistochemistry, and molecular study. In the present study, we evaluated insulinoma-associated protein 1 (INSM1) expression in NENs and correlated it with other established neuroendocrine markers.
Materials and Method Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care center. Consecutively, 100 cases from year November 2019 to January 2021 were enrolled in the study and all relevant data were noted.
Results The mean (±standard deviation) age of the patients was 55.5 (±10.6) years with a male preponderance. Total 59% of the tumors were located in the lung of which 67% were poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma. INSM1 were positive in 97% cases, while synaptophysin (SYN) in 96% and chromogranin A (CgA) in 86%. Correlation of INSM1 expression with SYN and CgA was statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). Mean H-score of INSM1 was significantly higher than SYN and CgA and it was statistically significant (p-value < 0.001).
Conclusion In the present study, the expression of INSM1 was seen in 97% cases of NENs. A statistically significant association was found between INSM1 and traditional NE markers. As a nuclear marker it is easy to interpret and it showed higher H-score. We conclude that INSM1 is a highly sensitive marker and recommend to incorporate it in the routine practice to aid in the diagnostic workup. However, a larger cohort is required to establish the organ-specific sensitivity and specificity of INSM1.
Halal-organic meat: a successful business and humanitarian model
Authors: Prince Sheikh Ashiqurrahman , Wahid Ishraat Saira 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study develops a conceptual model that investigates how self-determination needs, religiosity, and features of halal-organic meat influence consumer satisfaction and meat-purchasing behavior; these in turn affect healthy life expectancy, health- and food-related quality, and tranquility of life. In Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority country, organic meat producers usually sell halal meat without certifying or labeling it as such. According to the study, if meat producers market products that are both halal and organic, they will appeal to Muslim customers in religious and health-related contexts. This may lead to a significant increase in meat sales, thereby assisting more businesses in profits. The study used Purposive sampling to collect 985 data points from consumers who buy organic meat through four marketing channels: supermarkets, municipality corporate markets, open-air markets, and online markets. The data were analyzed using SmartPls 3.0. The results confirm that five independent variables—autonomy, competency, relatedness, religiosity, and halal-organic food—directly and positively influence consumers’ satisfaction with and continuance of halal-organic meat-purchasing behavior. The study also suggests that consumer satisfaction positively impacts halal-organic meat-purchasing behavior. This positively and significantly influences three dependent variables: consumers’ desire to maintain a healthy life expectancy, health- and food-related quality, and tranquility of life. The findings further indicate that halal-organic meat-purchasing behavior mediates the relationships between the study’s five independent variables and three dependent variables. This study investigates the new, growing theory of self-determination in relation to organic and halal food-purchasing research, which few studies have investigated. Although the literature surrounding halal and organic meat is not new, this study is the first to combine these two fields into a distinct body of knowledge. Furthermore, this is the first study to introduce the constructs of tranquility and life expectancy in organic and halal food-purchasing behavioral research.

Published: September 2023

AbstractSports have traditionally had gendered connotations in society and culture, resulting in solidified gender stereotypes that influence impression evaluations. China has a special gender social culture; however, how sport–gender stereotypes (SGS) influence the gender evaluation of people in China in the Global South is still unknown. This study obtained gender-typed sports and attribute adjectives and proved the existence of SGS through a pilot study (392 college students, n1 = 207, n2 = 185) and then used two studies to explore the influence of both explicit and implicit SGS on evaluations and compared the differences between these stereotypes and general gender stereotypes. Study 1 (395 college students, n1a = 192, n1b = 203) examined the explicit level using a questionnaire experiment. The results of two experiments showed that (1) stereotype-consistent targets were more masculine or feminine in correspondence with their gender, while stereotype-inconsistent targets had higher anti-gender traits; and (2) the inclusion of stereotype-consistent sports activities led targets to be evaluated as more masculine, while stereotype-inconsistent sport activities showed gender evaluation reversal, especially for women. Study 2 (103 college students, n2a = 61, n2b = 42) measured the implicit attitudes using the Implicit Association Test. The results of two experiments showed that (1) implicit evaluations of stereotype-consistent targets were associated faster than stereotype-inconsistent targets and (2) the inclusion of gender-typed sports weakened implicit gender evaluations. In conclusion, this is the first quantitative study to explore the unique effect of SGS on individual evaluations and how they differ from general gender stereotypes in the Chinese context. These findings could provide valuable insights for research and the application of sports social science and physical education.
Bogoliubov spectrum and the dynamic structure factor in a quasi-two-dimensional spin-orbit coupled BEC
Authors: Kaur Inderpreet , Ghosh Sankalpa 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
We compute the Bogoliubov–de Gennes excitation spectrum in a trapped two-component spin-orbit-coupled (SOC) Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) in quasi-two-dimensions as a function of linear and angular momentum and analyze them. The excitation spectrum exhibits a minima-like feature at finite momentum for the immiscible SOC-BEC configuration, which implies dynamical instability. We augment these results by computing the dynamic structure factor in the density and pseudo-spin sector, and discuss its interesting features that can be experimentally measured through Bragg spectroscopy of such ultracold condensates.

Published: September 2023

Abstract
A cylindrical lossy dielectric resonator array absorber is designed and verified by experiments. The designed cylindrical resonator array is made of a lightweight carbon multiwalled nanotube/epoxy composite material, and the gaps filled with polypropylene are used to fix the cylindrical array. Studies have shown that the lossy dielectric resonator array structure has dual-mode resonance characteristics, and the hybrid array composed of cylinders with different diameters can further generate multi-resonant coupling effects, thereby significantly improving the absorptivity. The total thickness of the designed absorber is 4 mm, and the normal incidence absorptivity is greater than 97% in the frequency range of 8–12 GHz. The measured results are consistent with the simulation, which verifies the reliability of the design concept and preparation method.
Spark discharges at the interface of water and heptane: emulsification and effect on discharge probability

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Spark discharges in liquid have shown great potential for use in numerous applications, such as pollutant degradation, precision micromachining, and nanomaterials production. Herein, spark discharges are initiated at the interface of two immiscible liquids, heptane and water. This leads to the formation of an emulsion via mechanisms akin to bubble dynamics and instabilities at the gas–liquid. At high discharge number, an additional mechanism contributes to emulsion formation, resulting in an increase in the number of smaller heptane droplets in water. Analyses of the current–voltage characteristics show that high probability of discharge occurrence is obtained when the electrodes are aligned with the interface. This result is correlated with the low erosion rate of the electrodes. In the case of discharges at the interface, we observed that beyond a certain number of discharges, the breakdown voltage drops; far from the interface, it increases with the discharge number. Based on 2D simulation with a Monte Carlo approach to consider various droplet distribution in water, the electric field distribution is determined. The results support the fact that the decrease in breakdown voltage may be attributed to the intensification of the E-field in water close the heptane droplet. Therefore, spark discharges generated at the interface of a heptane/water system produce an emulsion of heptane in water, which facilitates the occurrence of subsequent discharges by intensifying the electric field and reducing the breakdown voltage.

Abstract
The Chinese high energy photon source is the fourth-generation light source that is currently under construction, with the booster being a significant component that has been completed by October 2022. In order to meet this timeline, 218 magnets requiring calibration were fitted with a rotating coil system and a three-coordinate measuring machine to optimize magnet center calibration. The rotating coil system is specially designed for magnetic center measurements. It employs a single-turn coil instead of the traditional complex compensated coil and uses a three-coordinate measuring machine imaging probe for precise positioning of the wire in space. This system has high accuracy, high speed, and high reliability. However, it is limited by the size of the three-coordinate measuring machine, meaning that larger magnets cannot be measured, thus limiting scalability. In September 2022, all of the magnets had been calibrated. This paper introduces the various aspects of coil design and examines the efficacy of employing three-coordinate measuring machine imaging for coil rotation center positioning and sag measurement, and provides a statistical analysis of calibration performance alongside mechanical calibration errors, the deviation between the magnet center and the mechanical center, and also a scatter analysis. Additionally, this paper also outlines the changes in the measuring time for each magnet, providing a reference for future magnet center calibration tasks.
On the role of vacancy-hydrogen complexes on dislocation nucleation and propagation in metals

Published: September 2023

Abstract
New insights are provided into the role of vacancy-hydrogen (VaH) complexes, compared to the hydrogen atoms alone, on hydrogen embrittlement of nickel. The effect of the concentration of hydrogen atoms and VaH complexes is investigated in different crystal orientations on dislocation emission and propagation in single crystal of nickel using atomistic simulations. At first, embrittlement is studied on the basis of unstable and stable stacking fault energies as well as fracture energy to quantify the embrittlement ratio (unstable stacking fault energy/fracture energy). It is found that VaH complexes lead to high embrittlement compared to H atoms alone. Next, dislocation emission and propagation at pre-cracked single crystal crack-tip are investigated under Mode-I loading. Depending upon the elastic interaction energy and misfit volume, high local concentrations at the crack front lead to the formation of nickel-hydride and nickel-hydride with vacancies phases. These phases are shown to cause softening due to earlier and increased dislocation emission from the interface region. On the other hand, dislocation propagation under the random distribution of hydrogen atoms and VaH complexes at the crack front or along the slip plane shows that VaH complexes lead to hardening that corroborates well with the increased shear stresses observed along the slip plane. Further, VaH complexes lead to the disintegration of partial dislocation and a decrease in dislocation travel distance with respect to time. The softening during emission and hardening during propagation and disintegration of partial dislocation loops due to VaH complexes fit the experimental observations of various dislocation structures on fractured surfaces in the presence of hydrogen, as reported in literature.
