AbstractBackgroundAntisocial personality features in adolescents are frequently associated with delinquency and constitute the problem that most concerns the criminal justice system and the public. Hostile interpretation bias has been identified as a candidate for explaining emergent adolescent antisocial personality problems and aggression, but it is unclear whether offenders and non‐offenders show differences in the relationships between hostile interpretation bias, aggression and antisocial personality features.AimsTo compare relationships between hostile interpretation bias and a personality measure between incarcerated teenagers and first year university students and to explore aggression and criminal history as mediating or moderating variables.MethodsFifty‐three 16–18‐year‐old incarcerated male offenders and 69 17–20‐year‐old male university students were recruited, the former through institutional staff and the latter by online advert only. Individuals in both groups self‐rated, in private, on the Word and Sentence Association Paradigm‐hostile (WSAP), The Ambiguous Intentions Hostility Questionnaire (AIHQ), Hostility Interpretation Bias Task (HIBT) as tests for hostile interpretation bias, and on the Buss‐Perry Aggression Questionnaire and on Hyler's Personality Disorder Questionnaire (PDQ‐4). Among the students, criminal history was assessed by a self‐reported binary question. LASSO regressions were used to test inter‐relationships between hostile interpretation bias and aggression or antisocial personality traits. Mediation and moderation were tested using MPLUS 7.4.ResultsThe WSAP and AIHQ, as measures of self‐reported hostility bias, had relationships with self‐reported aggression (Pearson r 0.24–0.58, p < 0.001) and with antisocial personality features (r 0.36–0.50, p < 0.001), the HIBT did not. Aggression scores mediated the relationship between hostile interpretation bias and antisocial personality features. Furthermore, the relationship between hostile interpretation bias and aggression was stronger among the young offenders (estimates 0.43–0.75) than among the university students without criminal history (estimates 0.13–0.36).ConclusionsHostile interpretation bias appears to promote antisocial personality features by increasing an individual's aggression, regardless of social status, although the effect was much stronger among the young offenders. To reduce young people's antisocial personality features, future studies should perhaps focus on evaluating strategies to reduce hostile bias or prevent it from being expressed in aggressive behaviours.

AbstractA simplified and scalable one‐pot process for the anaerobic production of succinic acid using a metabolically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum strain is demonstrated. With targeted bioprocess optimization, succinic acid titer of 78 g L−1 and yield of 1.41 molSAmolGLC−1 were achieved. Succinic acid was recovered from the neutral fermentation broth by electrochemically induced crystallization and applied for polybutylene bio‐succinate synthesis using a biocompatible zinc catalyst. Except for a slight color change, the final biopolymer was comparable to the polymer from commercial precursors.

AbstractNitrogen (N) deficiency could have a negative effect on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) yield and grain quality. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the optimum rate, timing, and frequency of N fertilization to improve sunflower crop nutrition. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of N fertilization rate, timing, and splitting on grain yield, and grain and oil quality. Twelve field experiments were carried out between 2016 and 2020. Treatments consisted of at least three N rates ranging from 0 to 200 kg N ha−1 applied at V2. Moreover, the 80 kg N ha−1 rate was applied at V14 (80NV14) or split between V2 and V14 (80Nsplit). Treatments were evaluated in two sunflower genotypes, high oleic (HO) and conventional (CONV). A significant grain yield response to N fertilization was observed in six out of twelve experiments, generally at rates greater than 80 kg ha−1. The mean response to fertilization was 369 kg ha−1. Fertilization increased grain protein concentration (PG) (+1.5%) at experiments E1–E3 and E9–E12 and decreased oil concentration (OG) (−2%) at experiments E1, E4, E9, E11, and E12. The maximum N rate, increased oleic and stearic acid concentration (+3%–4%), depending on the genotype (AO and CONV). Neither fertilizer timing nor splitting affected grain yield or OG. Late N fertilization (V14) increased oleic acid (+2.4%), whereas it decreased linoleic acid (+2.2%). Based on our results, N fertilization can increase yield without negatively affecting commercial grain quality (OG and fatty acids concentration), regardless of fertilization timing and frequency.

AbstractA conceptual challenge toward more versatile direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) is the design of a single material electrocatalyst with high activity and durability for both oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). This requires to conciliate methanol tolerance not to hinder ORR at the cathode with a good MOR activity at the anode. This is especially incompatible with Pt materials. We tackled this challenge by deriving a supramolecular concept where surface‐grafted molecular ligands regulate the Pt‐catalyst reactivity. ORR and MOR activities of newly reported Pt‐calix[4]arenes nanocatalysts (Pt
NPs/C) are compared to commercial benchmark PtNPs/C. Pt
NPs/C exhibit a remarkable methanol tolerance without losing the MOR reactivity along with outstanding durability and chemical stability. Beyond designing single‐catalyst material, operable in DMFC cathodic and anodic compartments, the results highlight a promising strategy for tuning interfacial properties.

AbstractObligate mutualistic plant–ants are often constrained by their plant partner's capacity to provide resources. However, despite this limitation, some ant partners actively reject potential prey items and instead drop them from the plant rather than consuming them, leaving the ants entirely reliant on host plant‐provided food, including that provided indirectly by the symbiotic scale insects that ants tend inside the plants. This dependency potentially increases the efficiency of these ants in defending their host. We hypothesize that if this ant behavior was beneficial to the symbiosis, prey rejection by ants would be observed across multiple plant host species. We also hypothesize that plant‐provided food items and symbiotic scale insects from other ant plants should be rejected. We address these hypotheses in the Crematogaster ant–Macaranga plant system, in which plants provide living space and food, while ants protect plants from herbivory. We observed food acceptance and rejection behavior across five ant species and three plant host species. Ants were offered three types of food: termites as a surrogate herbivore, symbiotic scale insects, and nutritious food bodies (FB) produced by different host plant species. The unique ant species living in M. winkleri was the most likely to reject food items not provided by the plant species, followed by ants in M. glandibracteolata, while ants in M. pearsonii accepted most items offered to them. Using stable isotopes, chemical cues, and proteomic analyses, we demonstrate that this behavior was not related to differences between plant species in nutritional quality or composition of FB. Isotopic signatures revealed that certain species are primary consumers but other ant species can be secondary consumers even where surrogate herbivores are rejected, although these values varied depending on the ant developmental stage and plant species. Macaranga pearsonii and M. glandibracteolata, the two most closely related plant species, had most similar surface chemical cues of FB. However, M. glandibracteolata had strongest differences in food body nutritional content, isotopic signatures, and protein composition from either of the other two plant species studied. Taken together we believe our results point toward potential host coercion of symbiont ants by plants in the genus Macaranga Thouars (Euphorbiaceae).

AbstractSeed regeneration is a critical stage in the life histories of plants, affecting species' abilities to maintain local populations, evolve, and disperse to new sites. In this study, we test for local adaptations to drought in germination and seedling growth of two alpine forbs with contrasting habitat preferences: the alpine generalist Veronica alpina and the snowbed specialist Sibbaldia procumbens. We sampled seeds of each species from four populations spanning a precipitation gradient from 1200 to 3400 mm/year in western Norway. In a growth chamber experiment, we germinated seeds from each population at 10 different water potentials under controlled light and temperature conditions. Drought led to lower germination percentage in both species, and additionally, slower germination, and more investment in roots for V. alpina. These responses varied along the precipitation gradient. Seeds from the driest populations had higher germination percentage, shorter time to germination, and higher investments in the roots under drought conditions than the seeds from the wettest populations – suggesting local adaption to drought. The snowbed specialist, S. procumbens, had lower germination percentages under drought, but otherwise did not respond to drought in ways that indicate physiological or morphological adaptions to drought. S. procumbens germination also did not vary systematically with precipitation of the source site, but heavier‐seeded populations germinated to higher rates and tolerated drought better. Our study is the first to test drought effects on seed regeneration in alpine plants populations from high‐precipitation regions. We found evidence that germination and seedling traits may show adaptation to drought even in populations from wet habitats. Our results also indicate that alpine generalists might be more adapted to drought and show more local adaptations in drought responses than snowbed specialists.

AbstractThe photovoltaic (PV) power output might be frequently curtailed to maintain electricity supply‐demand balance in future power systems. In our previous study, we proposed a new method for updating the battery energy storage system (BESS) charge/discharge and the generator unit commitment (UC) schedules based on the forecasted and actual PV power outputs. The forecast dataset was updated every 3 h (eight times a day). Although the simulation results showed that the proposed method could reduce the supply‐demand imbalances, it was not clear whether the forecasted or actual values made contributions. Therefore, in this study, we propose and evaluate a real‐time scheduling and operation method using the forecasted and actual PV power outputs assuming that the forecasted dataset is updated only once a day. Numerical simulations of supply‐demand operations are conducted on the power system model of the Kanto area of Japan for one year. The results show that the previous study method has a slight advantage over proposed method in terms of curtailed PV energy and operational cost of thermal generators reduction, but the difference is very small, indicating that the contribution of the actual PV power outputs is greater than that of the forecasted PV power outputs.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study aims to incorporate the effects of recently used alternative monetary policies, such as quantitative easing into standard Taylor rule exchange rate models. Using out‐of‐sample forecasting, we determine whether including long‐term government bond yields and shadow interest rates improves on these model's performance. Using data from the Eurozone, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States, we perform out‐of‐sample forecasts using a rolling window; the results suggest that the model with government bond returns performs best against the random walk, although the results vary across countries, particularly when we compare the forecasts with those produced by a version of uncovered interest parity (UIP).

Revealing hydrothermal evolution from the early oxide to late carbonate stages for quartz–wolframite vein‐type deposits is essential for understanding the ore‐forming process. In this study, we choose the Baishitouwa tungsten polymetallic deposit located in the southern Great Xing'an Range tungsten belt as a case study, and present detailed deposit geology and in situ fluid inclusion (FI) analyses including microthermometry, laser Raman spectra, and LA‐ICP‐MS microanalysis to address this issue. Four stages of hydrothermal activity were identified: (1) quartz–wolframite (I), (2) quartz–wolframite (II)–pyrite–chalcopyrite, (3) quartz–polymetallic sulphides, and (4) quartz–carbonate. Four types of FIs were recognized: CO2‐rich, CO2‐bearing, liquid‐rich, and brine inclusions. Microthermometric data showed that the homogenization temperatures and salinities from the early to late stages are 380–460°C, 7.4–17.3, and 29.3–43.2 wt% NaCl equiv., 300–390°C and 7.1–17.0 wt% NaCl equiv., 220–320°C and 2.7–8.1 wt% NaCl equiv., and 150–250°C and 0.5–4.8 wt% NaCl equiv., respectively, suggesting a decreasing trend. Geochemically, all stage fluids contained high Rb and Mn concentrations, high Rb/Na, Cs/Na, Li/Na, K/Na, Rb/Sr, low K/Rb, and consistent Cs/Rb and Cs/(Na + K) ratios, indicating that the mineralizing fluids originated from a common source—an underlying, geochemically uniform, and highly fractionated granitic magma. Fluid immiscibility and cooling are the main mechanisms for wolframite precipitation, whereas greisenization is subordinate; the incursion of meteoric water into the hydrothermal system initiated at the sulphide stage, and fluid mixing is the dominant mechanism for sulphide precipitation.

AbstractThe present study aims to discuss the Williamson fluid flow and heat transfer across a permeable stretching cylinder with heat generation/absorption effects. The effects of viscous dissipation, Joule heating, and magnetic field are also taken into account. The BVP‐4C numerical solver in MATLAB is adopted for all the numerical simulations in the present study. For this, the modeled partial differential equations are translated into dimensionless ordinary differential equations using some well‐developed similarity transformations. A good agreement between the numerical results of the present study and existing literature is exhibited. The dimensionless physical parameters being investigated are Reynolds number, magnetic field parameter, suction parameter, heat source/sink parameter, Williamson fluid parameter, and mixed convection parameter. The numerical calculations are also performed for the skin friction coefficient and local Nusselt number to get an understanding of the shear stress rate and heat transfer rate, respectively. Furthermore, the impact of all these physical parameters on the velocity and temperature profiles is investigated and represented throughout the literature.

AbstractQuantitative phase microscopy (QPM), as a label‐free and nondestructive technique, has been playing an indispensable tool in biomedical imaging and industrial inspection. Herein, we introduce a reflectional quantitative differential phase microscopy (termed RQDPM) based on polarized wavefront phase modulation and partially coherent full‐aperture illumination, which has high spatial resolution and spatio‐temporal phase sensitivity and is applicable to opaque surfaces and turbid biological specimens. RQDPM does not require additional polarized devices and can be easily switched from reflectional mode to transmission mode. In addition, RQDPM inherits the characteristic of high axial resolution of differential interference contrast microscope, thereby providing topography for opaque surfaces. We experimentally demonstrate the reflectional phase imaging ability of RQDPM with several samples: semiconductor wafer, thick biological tissues, red blood cells, and Hela cells. Furthermore, we dynamically monitor the flow state of microspheres in a self‐built microfluidic channel by using RQDPM converted into the transmission mode.

AbstractPolyurethane foams present a tunable biomaterial platform with potential for use in a range of regenerative medicine applications. Achieving a balance between scaffold degradation rates and tissue ingrowth is vital for successful wound healing, and significant in vivo testing is required to understand these processes. Vigorous in vitro testing can minimize the number of animals that are required to gather reliable data; however, it is difficult to accurately select in vitro degradation conditions that can effectively mimic in vivo results. To that end, we performed a comprehensive in vitro assessment of the degradation of porous shape memory polyurethane foams with tunable degradation rates using varying concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to identify the medium that closely mimics measured in vivo degradation rates. Material degradation was studied over 12 weeks in vitro in 1%, 2%, or 3% hydrogen peroxide and in vivo in subcutaneous pockets in Sprague Dawley rats. We found that the in vitro degradation conditions that best predicted in vivo degradation rates varied based on the number of mechanisms by which the polymer degraded and the polymer hydrophilicity. Namely, more hydrophilic materials that degrade by both hydrolysis and oxidation require lower concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (1%) to mimic in vivo rates, while more hydrophobic scaffolds that degrade by oxidation alone require higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (3%) to model in vivo degradation. This information can be used to rationally select in vitro degradation conditions that accurately identify in vivo degradation rates prior to characterization in an animal model.

Published: February 2023

AbstractFinancial development (FD), by supporting financial inclusion, economic growth and green innovation, kindles sustainable development (SD), though unbridled FD without governance can fuel unsustainable activities. Therefore, we aim to estimate the role of governance (CG) in the FD–SD nexus for a panel of 128 countries covering the period 1995–2017 using advanced econometric methods. Results infer that FD beyond certain level may hamper SD, while governance always encourages SD. Besides, their confluence has substitutive effects, especially in high‐income countries, yet it is crucial for sustainability. These insights are useful for policymakers to develop appropriate FD, governance and SD strategies.

AbstractThailand has witnessed very uneven spatial outcomes of economic policies pursued in the country since the 1970s. This partially resulted from top‐down, place‐based approaches favoring the already prosperous regions. Therefore, in order to bridge the territorial economic divide in the country, an alternative policy framework is needed to promote bottom‐up, place‐based initiatives led by local governments. As a starting point, we surveyed a stratified sample of local governments in Thailand to document and classify their economic development activities using the taxonomy of similar practices found in other countries. We examined how these practices are shaped by local conditions found in various localities.
