Registration of HA‐DM9, HA‐DM10, and HA‐DM11 oilseed sunflower germplasms with dual resistance to sunflower downy mildew
Authors: Qi L. L. , Ma G. J. , Seiler G. J. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDowny mildew (DM), caused by the obligate pathogen Plasmopara halstedii (Farl.) Berl. & de Toni, is a worldwide yield‐limiting disease of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). To obtain durable DM resistance in sunflower hybrids, there is a need to stack new resistance genes into the best available germplasm. The DM resistance genes Pl8, Pl17, and Pl18 were recently fine mapped to sunflower chromosomes 13, 4, and 2, respectively. The current study pyramided these genes into a single genotype by marker‐assisted selection. Three oilseed sunflower germplasms, HA‐DM9 (Reg. no. GP‐381, PI 700009), HA‐DM10 (Reg. no. GP‐379, PI 700004), and HA‐DM11 (Reg. no. GP‐380, PI 700005), are dual DM‐resistant germplasm lines developed and have been released by the USDA‐ARS, Sunflower and Plant Biology Research Unit in collaboration with the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station in 2021. The three lines, HA‐DM9 (Pl8Pl8/Pl17Pl17), HA‐DM10 (Pl8Pl8/Pl18Pl18), and HA‐DM11 (Pl17Pl17/Pl18Pl18), each stacked two different DM genes, providing broad resistance to all P. halstedii races identified in North America and Europe so far, and can be used in sunflower breeding programs to enhance DM resistance.
The predictive validity of the DSM‐5 alternative model for borderline personality disorder: Associations with coping strategies, general distress, rumination, and suicidal ideation across one year
Authors: Chauhan Kapil , Donahue John , Thompson Rebecca 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe DSM‐5 Alternative Model for Personality Disorders (AMPD) characterizes borderline personality disorder (BPD) in part as a constellation of maladaptive personality trait facets including emotional lability, anxiousness, separation insecurity, depressivity, impulsivity, risk‐taking, and hostility. Previous studies have supported the construct validity of AMPD‐BPD; however, research examining its predictive validity in relation to theoretically and clinically relevant constructs remains needed. The present study investigates the longitudinal relationships between AMPD‐BPD and general distress, rumination, and suicidal ideation, as well as adaptive and maladaptive coping targeted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in a sample of participants with elevated BPD symptomology. We also examined if dysfunctional coping skill use at 9‐month follow‐up explained the relationship between baseline BPD traits and outcomes at 1‐year. There were significant correlations between baseline trait BPD with dysfunctional coping skill use at 9‐month follow‐up and psychological distress and rumination at 1‐year follow‐up. Dysfunctional skill use exhibited a significant indirect effect in the association between trait BPD and rumination after 1 year. The findings of this study support the construct validity of AMPD‐BPD that can inform treatment and research.

AbstractIn order to improve the global optimization of particle swarm optimization (PSO), enhance the performance of PSO in dealing with these complex, high‐dimensional, multimodal optimization problems, and furthermore, promote the optimization effect in reliability optimization applications, a direct position updating‐based trying‐mutation PSO (DTPSO) was proposed. In this algorithm, the direct position updating strategy and trying‐mutation strategy were designed, which could effectively maintain the population diversity, balance the exploitation and exploration, and increase the probability of obtaining global optimal solution. After being verified and compared by nine complex test functions, the rationality of algorithm design and the excellent global optimization performances were proved. In the reliability optimization, the reliability redundancy allocation and reliability allocation were optimized by different advanced improved algorithms, the comparison results proved the stability and optimization performance of DTPSO. Due to its stable and efficient global optimization performance, it was concluded the proposed DTPSO could provide effective technical support for practical applications such as reliability optimization.

AbstractFabricating bio‐latex colloids with core–shell nanostructure is an effective method for obtaining films with enhanced mechanical characteristics. Nano‐sized lignin is rising as a class of sustainable nanomaterials that can be incorporated into latex colloids. Fundamental knowledge of the correlation between surface chemistry of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) and integration efficiency in latex colloids and from it thermally processed latex films are scarce. Here, an approach to integrate self‐assembled nanospheres of allylated lignin as the surface‐activated cores in a seeded free‐radical emulsion copolymerization of butyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate is proposed. The interfacial‐modulating function on allylated LNPs regulates the emulsion polymerization and it successfully produces a multi‐energy dissipative latex film structure containing a lignin‐dominated core (16% dry weight basis). At an optimized allyl‐terminated surface functionality of 1.04 mmol g−1, the LNPs‐integrated latex film exhibits extremely high toughness value above 57.7 MJ m−3. With multiple morphological and microstructural characterizations, the well‐ordered packing of latex colloids under the nanoconfinement of LNPs in the latex films is revealed. It is concluded that the surface chemistry metrics of colloidal cores in terms of the abundance of polymerization‐modulating anchors and their accessibility have a delicate control over the structural evolution of core–shell latex colloids.

AbstractBoth the uncoordinated Pb2+ and excess PbI2 in perovskite film will create defects and perturb carrier collection, thus leading to the open‐circuit voltage (VOC) loss and inducing rapid performance degradation of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Herein, an additive of 3‐aminothiophene‐2‐carboxamide (3‐AzTca) that contains amide and amino and features a large molecular size is introduced to improve the quality of perovskite film. The interplay of size effect and adequate bonding strength between 3‐AzTca and uncoordinated Pb2+ regulates the mineralization of PbI2 and generates low‐dimensional PbI2 phase, thereby boosting the crystallization of perovskite. The decreased defect states result in suppressed nonradiative recombination and reduced VOC loss. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of modified PSC is improved to 22.79% with a high VOC of 1.22 V. Moreover, the decomposition of PbI2 and perovskite films is also retarded, yielding enhanced device stability. This study provides an effective method to minimize the concentration of uncoordinated Pb2+ and improve the PCE and stability of PSCs.

AbstractThe carrier concentration in n‐type layered Bi2Te3‐based thermoelectric (TE) material is significantly impacted by the donor‐like effect, which would be further intensified by the nonbasal slip during grain refinement of crushing, milling, and deformation, inducing a big challenge to improve its TE performance and mechanical property simultaneously. In this work, high‐energy refinement and hot‐pressing are used to stabilize the carrier concentration due to the facilitated recovery of cation and anion vacancies. Based on this, combined with SbI3 doping and hot deformation, the optimized carrier concentration and high texture degree are simultaneously realized. As a result, a peak figure of merit (zT) of 1.14 at 323 K for Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 + 0.05 wt.% SbI3 sample with the high bending strength of 100 Mpa is obtained. Furthermore, a 31‐couple thermoelectric cooling device consisted of n‐type Bi2Te2.7Se0.3 + 0.05 wt.% SbI3 and commercial p‐type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 legs is fabricated, which generates the large maximum temperature difference (ΔTmax) of 85 K at a hot‐side temperature of 343 K. Thus, the discovery of recovery effect in high energy refinement and hot‐pressing has significant implications for improving TE performance and mechanical strength of n‐type Bi2Te3, thereby promoting its applications in harsh conditions.

AbstractIn recent years, growing concerns regarding energy efficiency and heat mitigation, along with the critical goal of carbon neutrality, have drawn human attention to the zero‐energy‐consumption cooling technique. Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) can be an invaluable tool for combating climate change by dispersing ambient heat directly into outer space instead of just transferring it across the surface. Although significant progress has been made in cooling mechanisms, materials design, and application exploration, PDRC faces challenges regarding functionality, durability, and commercialization. Herein, a silica nanofiber aerogels (SNAs) functionalized poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐hexafluoropropene) (P(VDF‐HFP)) membrane (SFP membrane), inspired by constructional engineering is constructed. As‐prepared membranes with flexible network structure combined hierarchical structure design and practicability principal. As the host material for thermal comfort management (TCM) and versatile protection, the SFP membrane features a large surface area, porous structure, and a robust skeleton that can render excellent mechanical properties. Importantly, the SFP membrane can keep exceptional solar reflectivity (0.95) and strong mid‐infrared emittance (0.98) drop the temperature to 12.5 °C below ambient and 96 W m−2 cooling power under typical solar intensities over 910 W m−2. This work provides a promising avenue for high performance aerogel membranes that can be created for use in a wide variety of applications.

AbstractFifty percent of the dry zone areas in Sri Lanka have fluoride levels above 1 ppm. This paper discusses the ground conditions and recommends an appropriate range of fluoride in drinking water which can support preventive practices for improving the oral health of children 8‐years old and younger. In efforts to address the Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown etiology (CKDU), water treatment to reduce contaminant level in potable water has been implemented. Such treatment would also remove fluoride and has resulted in potable water with various fluoride levels, depending on concentrations in the raw water. While it is important to reduce fluoride levels, it is important to have appropriate residual levels for prevention of dental caries. It needs, however, to be noted fluoride in excess can cause dental fluorosis. In Sri Lanka's dry zone areas increasing prevalence of dental fluorosis with decreasing prevalence of dental caries has been noted. Consumption of tea and powdered milk could increase total intake of fluoride. Fluoridated toothpaste, when used properly, may, however, result in negligible intake of fluoride. Sri Lanka's hot tropical climate which results in substantial intake of fluids reinforces the need to consider reduction in water fluoride. Consideration of local studies and international standards indicate fluoride levels should be in the range of 0.225–0.500 ppm. In the range of 0.225–0.500 ppm, the prevalence of dental fluorosis and caries was only 14% and 8%, respectively, in an endemic district. When fluoride levels are above 0.500 ppm, the issue of dental fluorosis shall need to be addressed. When levels are below 0.225 ppm, oral health care services shall need to be directed at preventing dental caries.
Tolerance limits for mixture‐of‐normal distributions with application to COVID‐19 data
Authors: Wang Hsiuying 
Published: March 2023

AbstractTolerance intervals (TIs) are widely used in various applications including manufacturing engineers, clinical research, and pharmaceutical industries. TIs can be used to construct limits of control charts for monitoring quality characteristics. For manufacturing processes where multiple factors may contribute to defects or multiple‐stream processes, a mixture distribution of several suitable probabilistic models may be a better choice than a simple distribution for modeling the data. TIs for the normal mixture distribution have been studied in the literature. This article reviews the TIs of the normal mixture distribution, the applications of the mixture distribution, and the control charts of the mixture distribution. A rule for constructing modified two‐sided TIs of the normal mixture distribution is summarized, and this rule may be extended to construct modified two‐sided TIs for general mixture distributions. The feasibility of using TIs to build control charts for mixture distributions is also discussed. A real data example of coronavirus disease 2019 is used to illustrate the method by linking the TI to control charts.This article is categorized under:

Upright Posture and Gendered Styles of Body Movements in The Mill on the Floss
Authors: Class Monika 
Published: March 2023

AbstractGeorge Eliot predicates the two principal characters of her second novel,The Mill on the Floss(1860), not on fixed traits but on gendered differences in styles of body movement. This chapter approaches the interplay of medicine and mobility through the lens of the feminist phenomenology of perception, situating Eliot’s configuration of the gendered scripts of posture in the proto-orthopaedic discourse of Victorian disciplinary power. The comparison of the characters’ growth into manhood and womanhood showcases Tom Tulliver’s increasing compliance with correct masculine posture and his sister Maggie’s persistent tomboyism in adulthood. Monika Class contends that Eliot’s realist novel engages critically with Victorian postural standards and thus conveys the link of medical and moral norms in a vision towards variable, and even untamed, gender identities. Above all, the configuration of the heroine expands the Victorian repertoire of feminine body movement.
Quantization and variational problem of the Gubser-Rocha Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton model, conformal and non-conformal deformations, and its proper thermodynamics
Authors: Chagnet Nicolas , Balm Floris , Schalm Koenraad 
Published: March 2023

Abstract
We show that the strongly coupled field theory holographically dual to the Gubser-Rocha anti-de-Sitter Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton theory describes not a single non-trivial AdS2 IR fixed point, but a one-parameter family. It is dual to a local quantum critical phase instead of a quantum critical point. This result follows from a detailed analysis of the possible quantizations of the gravitational theory that is consistent with the thermodynamics of the analytical Gubser-Rocha black hole solution. The analytic Gubser-Rocha black hole is only a 2-parameter subset of all possible solutions, and we construct other members numerically. These new numerical solutions correspond to turning on an additional scalar charge. Moreover, each solution has multiple holographic interpretations depending on the quantization chosen. In one particular quantization involving a multitrace deformation the scalar charge is a marginal operator. In other quantizations where the marginal multitrace operator is turned off, the analytic Gubser-Rocha black hole does not describe a finite temperature conformal fluid.
Non-monotonicity of the first eigenvalue for the 3D magnetic Robin Laplacian
Authors: Miranda Germán 
Published: March 2023

AbstractPrevious works provided several counterexamples to monotonicity of the lowest eigenvalue for the magnetic Laplacian in the two-dimensional case. However, the three-dimensional case is less studied. We use the results obtained by Helffer, Kachmar, and Raymond to provide one of the first counterexamples in 3D. Considering the magnetic Robin Laplacian on the unit ball with a constant magnetic field, we show the non-monotonicity of the lowest eigenvalue asymptotics when the Robin parameter tends to $$+\infty $$

The power of desktop scanning electron microscopy with elemental analysis for analyzing urinary stones
Authors: Costa-Bauzá A. , Grases F. , Julià F. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to present a protocol for the routine morphocompositional study of kidney stones in a clinical setting, and to demonstrate that it is a simple and useful approach that can reliably determine the etiology of all types of kidney stones. Our routine study of kidney stones consists of a combination of stereoscopic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. The usefulness of such a procedure is demonstrated by its application to several illustrating examples. The protocol applied here is reliable and fast, and does not require multiple infrared spectroscopic analyses for most non-homogeneous samples. It also provides the identification of components that are present in very small proportions, the characteristics of internal and external structures, and information about areas with biological structures, such as renal tubules. It should be noted that results are obtained in a relatively short time and with high reliability. The detailed morphocompositional study of a urinary calculus is essential for establishing the diagnosis and etiology and for initiating the treatment of a patient with renal lithiasis, because there is a relationship between the specific characteristics of a stone and the specific etiology of the disease. The increasing number of treatments available for patients with different types of renal calculi makes improvements in diagnosis and determination of stone etiology, such as the procedure described here, more important now than ever.
Morphing Triangle Contact Representations of Triangulations

Published: March 2023

AbstractA morph is a continuous transformation between two representations of a graph. We consider the problem of morphing between contact representations of a plane graph. In an $${\mathcal {F}}$$
F
-contact representation of a plane graph G, vertices are realized by internally disjoint elements from a family $${\mathcal {F}}$$
F
of connected geometric objects. Two such elements touch if and only if their corresponding vertices are adjacent. These touchings also induce the same embedding as in G. In a morph between two $${\mathcal {F}}$$
F
-contact representations we insist that at each time step (continuously throughout the morph) we have an $${\mathcal {F}}$$
F
-contact representation. We focus on the case when $$\mathcal {F}$$
F
is the family of triangles in $$\mathbb {R}^2$$

Moreover, they naturally correspond to 3-orientations. Thus, they provide a natural case to study regarding morphs of contact representations of plane graphs. We characterize the pairs of RT-representations admitting a morph between each other via the respective 3-orientations. Our characterization leads to a polynomial-time algorithm to decide whether there is a morph between two RT-representations of an n-vertex plane triangulation, and, if so, computes a morph with $${\mathcal {O}}(n^2)$$

Our characterization also implies that for 4-connected plane triangulations there is a morph between every pair of RT-representations where the “top-most” triangle in both representations corresponds to the same vertex.
A coupled mathematical model between bone remodeling and tumors: a study of different scenarios using Komarova’s model

Published: March 2023

AbstractThis paper aims to construct a general framework of coupling tumor–bone remodeling processes in order to produce plausible outcomes of the effects of tumors on the number of osteoclasts, osteoblasts, and the frequency of the bone turnover cycle. In this document, Komarova’s model has been extended to include the effect of tumors on the bone remodeling processes. Thus, we explored three alternatives for coupling tumor presence into Komarova’s model: first, using a “damage” parameter that depends on the tumor cell concentration. A second model follows the original structure of Komarova, including the tumor presence in those equations powered up to a new parameter, called the paracrine effect of the tumor on osteoclasts and osteoblasts; the last model is replicated from Ayati and collaborators in which the impact of the tumor is included into the paracrine parameters. Through the models, we studied their stability and considered some examples that can reproduce the tumor effects seen in clinic and experimentally. Therefore, this paper has three parts: the exposition of the three models, the results and discussion (where we explore some aspects and examples of the solution of the models), and the conclusion.
Decolonial scientific education to combat ‘science for domination’
Authors: Kato Danilo Seithi , Galamba Arthur , Monteiro Bruno Andrade Pinto 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this article, we argue that mainstream science education is contaminated by neoliberal values and functions in the service of political domination and exploitation and that a neoliberal and exploitative science education does not contribute to the building of a sustainable and just world. The work from Paulo Freire and Enrique Dussel underpin the tenets of decolonial pedagogies. We draw on their work to analyze how decolonial pedagogies have been developed in Latin America. We carried out a literature review in Brazil and found two different ways of approaching decoloniality in science education: (a) studies that start from hybrid, interstitial spaces, as an enunciative locus that allows the construction of other logics of thought and (b) studies dedicated to denouncing the colonial power project from an anti-racist education that contests coloniality and oppression. We present examples of Freirean educational practices and proposals in science education that illustrate how decolonial pedagogies can reveal the coloniality of power/being/knowledge and potentialities of intercultural dialogues. We conclude with an explanation of how and why Freirean dialogicity and affection can counter science for domination.
