AbstractColloidal PbS quantum dots (QDs) have attracted tremendous attention in near‐infrared photodetection for their superior optoelectronic properties. However, appropriate fabrication methods remain a challenge for scalable and high performance PbS QD photodetectors. Herein, a flexible microcomb printing (FMCP) technique is first introduced to fabricate PbS QD photoconductors without a layer‐by‐layer ligand exchange technique, and the detectors demonstrate a responsivity of 2.1 A W−1. A computational fluid dynamics model is built to simulate the flow field distribution and analyze the relationship between the key parameters of FMCP and QD film morphology. The QD ink flow field at the tip of the microcomb exhibits high shear rates that lead to a better crystallization configuration for solid QD films formation, which is verified by Grazing‐incidence small and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering. Moreover, the relationship between the intrinsic nature of the QD ink (viscosity and surface tension), substrate temperature, and printing speed are systematically analyzed to experimentally achieve high performance QD films. Benefiting from the good crystallization configuration, FMCP‐printed photodetectors using the direct PbS QD ink without ligand exchange show high responsivities. The results indicate that FMCP is a promising method for scalable and high‐performance PbS QD photodetectors.

AbstractWeyl semimetals (WSMs) have attracted great attentions that provide intriguing platforms for exploring fundamental physical phenomena and future topotronics applications. Despite the fact that numerous WSMs are achieved, WSMs with long‐distance distribution of Weyl points (WPs) in given material candidates remain elusive. Here, the emergence of intrinsic ferromagnetic WSMs in BaCrSe2 with the nontrivial nature explicitly confirmed by the Chern number and Fermi arc surface states analysis is theoretically demonstrated. Remarkably, unlike previous WSMs for which opposite chirality WPs are located very close to each other, the WPs of BaCrSe2 host a long‐distance distribution, as much as half of the reciprocal space vector, suggesting that the WPs are highly robust and difficult to be annihilated by perturbations. The presented results not only advance the general understanding of magnetic WSMs but also put forward potential applications in topotronics.

AbstractMaxwell lattices possess distinct topological states that feature mechanically polarized edge behaviors and asymmetric dynamic responses protected by the topology of their phonon bands. Until now, demonstrations of non‐trivial topological behaviors from Maxwell lattices have been limited to fixed configurations or have achieved reconfigurability using mechanical linkages. Here, a monolithic transformable topological mechanical metamaterial is introduced in the form of a generalized kagome lattice made from a shape memory polymer (SMP). It is capable of reversibly exploring topologically distinct phases of the non‐trivial phase space via a kinematic strategy that converts sparse mechanical inputs at free edge pairs into a biaxial, global transformation that switches its topological state. All configurations are stable in the absence of confinement or a continuous mechanical input. Its topologically‐protected, polarized mechanical edge stiffness is robust against broken hinges or conformational defects. More importantly, it shows that the phase transition of SMPs that modulate chain mobility, can effectively shield a dynamic metamaterial's topological response from its own kinematic stress history, referred to as “stress caching”. This work provides a blueprint for monolithic transformable mechanical metamaterials with topological mechanical behavior that is robust against defects and disorder while circumventing their vulnerability to stored elastic energy, which will find applications in switchable acoustic diodes and tunable vibration dampers or isolators.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this experiment, itaconic acid, maleic acid, acrylic acid, and potassium persulfate were polymerized to form synergist, which was wrapped on the surface of phosphate fertilizer particles to make synergistic phosphate fertilizer. In order to explore synergistic phosphate fertilizer effects on soil nutrient and microbial in wheat (Triticum aestivum), four treatments were designed—CK: nitrogen fertilizer (containing N 306.14 kg/hm2), potassium fertilizer (containing K2O 116.67 kg/hm2), conventional phosphate fertilizer (containing P2O5 333.35 kg/hm2); T1: synergic phosphate fertilizer (containing P2O5 249.99 kg/hm2); T2: synergic phosphate fertilizer (containing P2O5 166.67 kg/hm2); and T3: synergic phosphate fertilizer (containing P2O5 83.32 kg/hm2). The application amount of nitrogen and potassium fertilizer in T1, T2, and T3 was the same as that in CK. The soil nutrient concentration of different treatments was analyzed, and the microbial diversity of different treatments was analyzed by Illumina MISEP high‐throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that the T2 treatment performed the best. In 2020, the pH of T2 was 1.87% lower than that of CK, and the contents of alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium were 5.8%, 11.44%, and 9.91% higher than CK, respectively. In 2021, the pH of T2 was 1.64% lower than that of CK, and the contents of alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium were 1.06%, 7.89%, and 16.53% higher than CK, respectively. In addition, the application of synergistic phosphate fertilizer could improve the richness, diversity, and evenness of microorganisms in soil.

AbstractClimate change, land degradation, and limited land and water resources have challenged our ability to meet the food demand of a rapidly growing population. To tackle this challenge, modern agricultural systems are relying on new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) to improve agricultural productivity and resource use efficiency. Although IoT has gained considerable attention in the last few years, the key concepts of IoT and their applicability across different domains of agriculture are still new to many researchers, practitioners, managers, and policymakers. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the use of different IoT platforms, wireless sensor networks, and other associated technologies like remote sensing, cloud computing, and big data analytics in digital agriculture. The review also explores the use of communication technologies, microcontrollers, and machine learning in smart irrigation and decision support systems. The necessity of interoperability (data transfer and communication without human interference) among devices is discussed in detail with regard to facilitating and exchanging agricultural data more effectively. The discussion also includes opportunities and challenges in standardizing IoT; developing energy‐efficient and affordable technologies; and improving data collection, transfer, storage, processing, security, anonymity, and privacy. This paper further calls for collaborative research in sensor and communication technologies in the agricultural sector.
Activity coefficient acquisition with thermodynamics‐informed active learning for phase diagram construction

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis work explores the use of thermodynamics‐informed Gaussian processes (GPs) and active learning (AL) to model activity coefficients and construct phase diagrams. Relying on synthetic data generated from an excess Gibbs energy model, GPs were found to accurately describe the activity coefficients of several binary mixtures across large composition and temperature ranges. Moreover, GPs could estimate their own uncertainty and identify composition/temperature regions where activity coefficient data provide the most information to the models. This was leveraged to build AL algorithms targeted at modeling phase equilibria. In many cases, a single active‐learning‐acquired data point was sufficient to describe the phase diagrams studied. Finally, the ability of AL to greatly reduce the amount of data needed to obtain accurate models was further verified on experimental case studies, namely individual ion activity coefficients, the solid–liquid and vapor–liquid equilibrium of deep eutectic solvents, and phase equilibria in ternary mixtures.

Published: May 2023

AbstractGreen plants, broadly defined as green algae and the land plants (together, Viridiplantae), constitute the primary eukaryotic lineage that successfully colonized Earth's emergent landscape. Members of various clades of green plants have independently made the transition from fully aquatic to subaerial habitats many times throughout Earth's history. The transition, from unicells or simple filaments to complex multicellular plant bodies with functionally differentiated tissues and organs, was accompanied by innovations built upon a genetic and phenotypic toolkit that have served aquatic green phototrophs successfully for at least a billion years. These innovations opened an enormous array of new, drier places to live on the planet and resulted in a huge diversity of land plants that have dominated terrestrial ecosystems over the past 500 million years. This review examines the greening of the land from several perspectives, from paleontology to phylogenomics, to water stress responses and the genetic toolkit shared by green algae and plants, to the genomic evolution of the sporophyte generation. We summarize advances on disparate fronts in elucidating this important event in the evolution of the biosphere and the lacunae in our understanding of it. We present the process not as a step‐by‐step advancement from primitive green cells to an inevitable success of embryophytes, but rather as a process of adaptations and exaptations that allowed multiple clades of green plants, with various combinations of morphological and physiological terrestrialized traits, to become diverse and successful inhabitants of the land habitats of Earth.

AbstractThe contribution of mosaicism to diagnosed genetic disease and presumed de novo variants (DNV) is under investigated. We determined the contribution of mosaic genetic disease (MGD) and diagnosed parental mosaicism (PM) in parents of offspring with reported DNV (in the same variant) in the (1) Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) (N = 1946) and (2) in 12,472 individuals electronic health records (EHR) who underwent genetic testing at an academic medical center. In the UDN, we found 4.51% of diagnosed probands had MGD, and 2.86% of parents of those with DNV exhibited PM. In the EHR, we found 6.03% and 2.99% and (of diagnosed probands) had MGD detected on chromosomal microarray and exome/genome sequencing, respectively. We found 2.34% (of those with a presumed pathogenic DNV) had a parent with PM for the variant. We detected mosaicism (regardless of pathogenicity) in 4.49% of genetic tests performed. We found a broad phenotypic spectrum of MGD with previously unknown phenotypic phenomena. MGD is highly heterogeneous and provides a significant contribution to genetic diseases. Further work is required to improve the diagnosis of MGD and investigate how PM contributes to DNV risk.

ObjectivesGlymphatic function has not yet been explored in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The spatial correlation between regional glymphatic function and bvFTD remains unknown.MethodA total of 74 patients with bvFTD and 67 age‐ and sex‐matched healthy controls (HCs) were selected from discovery dataset and replication dataset. All participants underwent neuropsychological assessment. Glymphatic measures including choroid plexus (CP) volume, diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular (DTI‐ALPS) index, and coupling between blood‐oxygen‐level‐dependent signals and cerebrospinal fluid signals (BOLD‐CSF coupling), were compared between the two groups. Regional glymphatic function was evaluated by dividing DTI‐ALPS and BOLD‐CSF coupling into anterior, middle, and posterior regions. The bvFTD‐related metabolic pattern was identified using spatial covariance analysis based on l8F‐FDG‐PET.ResultsPatients with bvFTD showed higher CP volume (p < 0.001); anterior and middle DTI‐ALPS (p < 0.001); and weaker anterior BOLD‐CSF coupling (p < 0.05) than HCs after controlling for cortical gray matter volume in both datasets. In bvFTD from the discovery dataset, the anterior DTI‐ALPS was negatively associated with the expression of the bvFTD‐related metabolic pattern (r = −0.52, p = 0.034) and positively related with regional standardized uptake value ratios of l8F‐FDG‐PET in bvFTD‐related brain regions (r range: 0.49 to 0.62, p range: 0.017 to 0.047). Anterior and middle glymphatic functions were related to global cognition and disease severity.InterpretationOur findings reveal abnormal glymphatic function, especially in the anterior and middle regions of brain in bvFTD. Regional glymphatic dysfunction may contribute to the pathogenesis of bvFTD. ANN NEUROL 2023;94:442–456
The Optical Perspective of Hawking‐Like Radiation on a Curved Surface
Authors: Ding Weifeng , Wang Zhaoying 
Published: May 2023

AbstractElectrodynamics on curved surfaces, as a developed theory, has analogously become a new experimental verification of light transmission in general relativity. The thermal effect of an optical field on a specific 2D surface with constant Gaussian curvature is described in this paper. By considering the analogy between Schrodinger equation and Helmholtz equation under the paraxial approximation, the “quantized” momentum field is generated from the light transmitting on a curved surface by using the effective potential approach, and when decreasing the number of photons until is thought about, a temperature of Hawking‐like radiation is obtained. The creation process of radiation is also investigated, which is the scattering of light as it travels from a surface of positive curvature to a surface of negative curvature. The derived temperature of radiation field is also equivalent to the event horizon scattering explanation of Hawking radiation. The research may provide new perspectives for Hawking radiation and thermal lens.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn recent years, with the increasing consciousness on environment protection, fluorine‐free water‐repellent agents in textile industry have attracted considerable attention. Herein, we proposed a new strategy to prepare bio‐based fluorine‐free branched polyurethane@organosilicon water‐repellent agent for cotton fabric (CF). Branched polyurethane (BPU) with long alkyl chains was firstly synthesized through the reaction of glycerin monostearate extracted from natural palm fruit, toluene diisocyanate, trimethylopropane and N‐methyl diethanolamine, and then utilized to coat the C24‐28 olefin modified hydroxyl silicone oil (C24‐28 HSO) by emulsification procedure to obtain branched polyurethane@organosilicon (BPU@C24‐28 HSO) water‐repellent agent. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed the chemical structures of BPU, C24‐28 HSO and BPU@C24‐28 HSO water‐repellent agent. The biomass carbon content of the water‐repellent agent reached 54.0%. Transmission electron microscope demonstrated that the BPU@C24‐28 HSO water‐repellent agent appeared obvious spherical shape with core‐shell structure. Owing to the introduction of organosilicon, the water‐repellent agent significantly improved the softness of the CF. In addition, the CF finished by the BPU@C24‐28 HSO water‐repellent agent also exhibited excellent water‐repellent score of 90+, high water contact angle of 141.6° and superior surface stability. Our findings provided a direction to prepare environmental‐friendly and high‐performance water‐repellent agents for various fabrics.
Behavioral services for individuals with Prader–Willi Syndrome: An initial examination of experiences, needs, and wants of caregivers
Authors: Bedard Kasey E. , Griffith Annette K. , Strittman Mary E. , Eaton Angeline 
Published: May 2023

AbstractPrader–Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare neurogenetic disorder that presents with a variety of behaviors that could be considered challenging by caregivers, including excessive food consumption and volatile tantrums. Although these behavior challenges can be dangerous and interfere with successful daily living, previous research suggests that caregivers have trouble accessing effective interventions. Twenty‐seven caregivers of individuals with PWS completed a survey to assess their needs and wants for services addressing behavioral challenges related to PWS. The survey was classified into four sections: prevalence of behavioral concerns, current access or barriers to accessing behavioral supports, familiarity with applied behavior analysis (ABA), and specific needs when accessing behavioral services. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Although caregivers reported struggling with behaviors, such as tantrums, repetitive behaviors, and rigidity, many identified barriers to accessing treatment, including difficulty in finding services or practitioners familiar with PWS. Applied behavior analysis shows potential for addressing many of the behavioral challenges associated with PWS reported by caregivers. As caregivers of PWS continue to advocate for ABA‐based therapy for the individuals they support, practitioners need to take into account the needs and wants of PWS caregivers and specific behavioral needs of individuals with PWS.

AbstractOral cancer is a common and deadly kind of tissue invasion, has a high death rate, and may induce metastasis that mostly affects adults over the age of 40. Most in vitro traditional methods for studying cancer have included the use of monolayer cell cultures and several animal models. There is a worldwide effort underway to reduce the excessive use of laboratory animals since, although being physiologically adequate, animal models rarely succeed in exactly mimicking human models. 3D culture models have gained great attention in the area of biomedicine because of their capacity to replicate parent tissue. There are many benefits to using a drug delivery approach based on nanoparticles in cancer treatment. Because of this, in vitro test methodologies are crucial for evaluating the efficacy of prospective novel nanoparticle drug delivery systems. This review discusses current advances in the utility of 3D cell culture models including multicellular spheroids, patient‐derived explant cultures, organoids, xenografts, 3D bioprinting, and organoid‐on‐a‐chip models. Aspects of nanoparticle‐based drug discovery that have utilized 2D and 3D cultures for a better understanding of genes implicated in oral cancers are also included in this review.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSi is a next‐generation ideal anode material for Li‐ion batteries (LIBs) because of its high‐theoretical capacity (4200 mAh/g) and natural abundance. However, severe volume expansion and unstable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film formation during lithiation/delithiation, and poor electron conductivity have significantly restricted the commercial application of Si. In this study, transition metal‐coated Si was synthesized and used as the anode material of LIBs. The transition metal salt of Ni was dissolved in an aqueous solution and used to coat the metal surface of Si nanoparticles. The coating was achieved by dropwise addition of metal solutions into Si dispersions. Thereafter, carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were grown on the transition metal‐coated Si nanoparticles via chemical vapor deposition method. The morphologies, compositions, and crystal quality of transition metal@Si/CNFs composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, x‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The electrochemical characteristics of the hybrid anodes were investigated using a coin cell and battery tester. Voltage profile measurements at 0.1 A/g of 0.02 M‐Ni@Si/CNFs composite showed satisfactory initial Coulombic efficiency of 85.6%; 0.01 M‐Ni@Si/CNFs composite exhibited high initial capacity of 1300.9 mAh/g retained to 828.4 mAh/g after 100 cycles, corresponding to 63.7% capacity retention. Even at high current densities, the 0.02 M‐Ni@Si/CNFs composite delivered 342.78 mAh/g of capacity at 5 A/g. This work realizes a Si‐based hybrid anode from Ni‐coated Si catalyst used for direct CNFs synthesis with a stable SEI layer, superior initial Coulombic efficiency with satisfactory cycle and rate performance suitable for commercialized advanced battery applications.
