Authors: He Xu , Pu Yijing , Chen Luyao , Jiang Haitao , Xu Yan , Cao Jiankang , Jiang Weibo 
Published: January 2023

AbstractPost‐harvest fruits and vegetables are extremely susceptible to dramatic and accelerated quality deterioration deriving from their metabolism and adverse environmental influences. Given their vigorous physiological metabolism, monitoring means are lacking due to the extent that unnecessary waste and damage are caused. Numerous intelligent packaging studies have been hitherto carried out to investigate their potential for fruit and vegetable quality monitoring. This state‐of‐the‐art overview begins with recent advances in target metabolites for intelligent packaging of fruits and vegetables. Subsequently, the mechanisms of action between metabolites and packaging materials are presented. In particular, the exact categorization and function of intelligent packaging of fruits and vegetables, are all extensively and comprehensively described. In addition, for the sake of further research in this field, the obstacles that impede the scaling up and commercialization of intelligent packaging for fruits and vegetables are also explored, to present valuable references.

Published: January 2023

AbstractChloroplast genomes have been widely used in studying plant phylogeny and evolution. Several chloroplast genome visualization tools have been developed to display the distribution of genes on the genome. However, these tools do not draw features, such as exons, introns, repetitive elements, and variable sites, disallowing in‐depth examination of the genome structures. Here, we developed and validated a software package called Chloroplast Genome Viewers (CPGView). CPGView can draw three maps showing (i) the distributions of genes, variable sites, and repetitive sequences, including microsatellites, tandem and dispersed repeats; (ii) the structure of the cis‐splicing genes after adjusting the exon‐intron boundary positions using a coordinate scaling algorithm, and (iii) the structure of the trans‐splicing gene rps12. To test the accuracy of CPGView, we sequenced, assembled, and annotated 31 chloroplast genomes from 31 genera of 22 families. CPGView drew maps correctly for all the 31 chloroplast genomes. Lastly, we used CPGView to examine 5998 publicly released chloroplast genomes from 2513 genera of 553 families. CPGView succeeded in plotting maps for 5882 but failed to plot maps for 116 chloroplast genomes. Further examination showed that the annotations of these 116 genomes had various errors needing manual correction. The test on newly generated data and publicly available data demonstrated the ability of CPGView to identify errors in the annotations of chloroplast genomes. CPGView will become a widely used tool to study the detailed structure of chloroplast genomes. The web version of CPGView can be accessed from http://www.1kmpg.cn/cpgview.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundLong‐term management of bipolar disorder (BD), characterized by mood fluctuating between episodes of mania and depression, involves the regular taking of lithium preparations as the most reliable mood stabilizer for bipolar patients. However, despite its effectiveness in preventing and reducing mood swings and suicidality, lithium has a very narrow therapeutic index and it is crucial to carefully monitor lithium plasma levels as concentrations >1.2 mmol/L are potentially toxic and can be fatal. Current methods of lithium therapeutic monitoring involve frequent blood tests, which have several drawbacks related to the invasiveness of the technique, comfort, cost and reliability. Dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) is an accessible and information‐rich biofluid, and correlations have been found between blood and ISF levels of lithium medication.MethodsIn the current study, we sought to investigate the optical determination of lithium therapeutic concentrations in samples of ISF extracted from porcine skin utilizing a microneedle‐based approach. Monitoring of lithium levels in porcine ISF was achieved by employing a spectrophotometric method based on the reaction between the chromogenic agent Quinizarin and lithium.ResultsThe resulting spectra show spectral variations which relate to lithium concentrations of lithium in samples of porcine ISF with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.9. This study has demonstrated successfully that therapeutic levels of lithium in micro‐volumes of porcine ISF can be measured with a high level of accuracy utilizing spectroscopic techniques.ConclusionsThe results support the future development of a miniaturized and minimally‐invasive device for lithium monitoring in bipolar patients.
District‐wide school reform and student performance: Evidence from Montgomery County, Maryland
Authors: Cimiluca Mark , Hill Brian 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn the early 2000s, the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public School system implemented district‐wide changes to funding, curriculum, staffing, and technology. Using data from 1995 to 2014, we employ a difference‐in‐differences strategy to show that the reforms significantly increased the percentage of students in Montgomery County who scored advanced on third‐ and fifth‐grade math and reading tests. Using an event study strategy, we find that the positive impacts extended through the end of the panel. Our results contribute to the literature on school reform by finding positive impacts of school reform in a district that was high performing prior to reforms.

Published: January 2023

AbstractThe standardized sizes used in the garment industry do not cover the range of individual differences in body shape for most people, leading to ill‐fitting clothes, high return rates and overproduction. Recent research efforts in both industry and academia, therefore, focus on virtual try‐on and on‐demand fabrication of individually fitting garments. We propose an interactive design tool for creating custom‐fit garments based on 3D body scans of the intended wearer. Our method explicitly incorporates transitions between various body poses to ensure a better fit and freedom of movement. The core of our method focuses on tools to create a 3D garment shape directly on an avatar without an underlying sewing pattern, and on the adjustment of that garment's rest shape while interpolating and moving through the different input poses. We alternate between cloth simulation and rest shape adjustment based on stretch to achieve the final shape of the garment. At any step in the real‐time process, we allow for interactive changes to the garment. Once the garment shape is finalized for production, established techniques can be used to parameterize it into a 2D sewing pattern or transform it into a knitting pattern.

Published: January 2023

AbstractCryptococcal infection is a life‐threatening, opportunistic infection in human immunodeficiency virus‐infected individuals. The infection most commonly begins in the respiratory tract, with secondary involvement of the brain, skin, and lymph nodes. We report a rare case of isolated cervical cryptococcal lymphadenitis diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology, which was the initial presentation of secondary immunodeficiency in the patient. Periodic acid‐Schiff stain, India ink preparation, and culture were done to confirm the diagnosis. He was diagnosed as HIV‐positive on further investigation.
Warming of experimental plant–pollinator communities advances phenologies, alters traits, reduces interactions and depresses reproduction
Authors: de Manincor Natasha , Fisogni Alessandro , Rafferty Nicole E. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractClimate change may disrupt plant–pollinator mutualisms by generating phenological asynchronies and by altering traits that shape interaction costs and benefits. Our knowledge is limited to studies that manipulate only one partner or focus on either phenological or trait‐based mismatches. We assembled communities of three annual plants and a solitary bee prior to flowering and emergence to test how springtime warming affects phenologies, traits, interactions and reproductive output. Warming advanced community‐level flowering onset, peak and end but did not alter bee emergence. Warmed plant communities produced fewer and smaller flowers with less, more‐concentrated nectar, reducing attractiveness, and warmed bees were more generalized in their foraging, reducing their effectiveness. Plant–bee interactions were less frequent, shorter and peaked earlier under warming. As a result, warmed plants produced fewer, lighter seeds, indicating pollinator‐mediated fitness costs. Climate change will perturb plant–pollinator mutualisms, causing wide‐ranging effects on partner species and diminishing the ecosystem service they provide.
Attaching shame to hierarchy and hierarchy to some versions of attachment
Authors: Keeler Ward 
Published: January 2023

AbstractAttachment theory sees individual autonomy as childrearing practices’ appropriate goal. But many people in the world do not share attachments theorists’ validation of autonomy. They instead believe that they should train their children into behavior appropriate to hierarchical relationships, ones predicated on differences in obligations and privileges. Their childrearing techniques therefore include teaching children to experience shame should they fail to know their place. Little attended to until recently in the social sciences, shame deserves study as hierarchy's enforcer, and doing so counters attachment theory's provincialism.
One Ranney Well Can Make a Difference: The Impacts of a Radial Collector Well on Groundwater Level and Quality in the Cedar River Alluvial Aquifer
Authors: Haj Adel E. , Gruhn Lance R. , Kalkhoff Stephen J. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThe City of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, depends on groundwater from the Cedar River alluvial aquifer for residential and industrial use. In 2020, the city completed an additional radial collector well, or Ranney well, and was concerned that pumping from the well at high rates may lower water level elevations in the aquifer, reduce yields from nearby production wells, and change the quality of produced water. During an operational test of the well's pumps, the U.S. Geological Survey and the city collected water level and water quality data to evaluate the effects of increased pumping rates on the aquifer and nearby production wells. Results indicated that a high rate of pumping from the new well caused sustained declines in water levels near the well and other nearby production wells, and, if maintained, the aquifer water level in the vicinity would continue to decline to levels observed during the 2012 drought. Aquifer specific conductance and temperature were altered and matched trends and values of the river, and river‐to‐well travel time was shortened from 7‐17 days to about 3 days. Results may also provide insights to other municipal water resource managers when considering wellfield design, production expectations, and long‐term management strategies for radial collector well production during drought, low streamflow, and times when high concentrations of nitrate‐N or organic pesticide compounds in the river may limit production options.

AbstractWetland emergent plants are considered a good source of biochar materials, which have proven to be an effective alternative to activated carbon for water treatment and soil amendment purposes. In this work, physicochemical properties of biochar made from the root, stem, and leaf of Zizania caduciflora (ZCR, ZCS, and ZCL) under the same pyrolysis condition were compared to evaluate their ability on adsorbing cadmium (Cd) in aqueous solutions. Batch experiments exhibited that the maximum adsorption capacities of Cd(II) by different organs were in the order of ZCL (59.8 mg/g) > ZCS (40.6 mg/g) > ZCR (36.2 mg/g), which have shown some advantages in relevant scientific researches. The adsorption trends at different temperatures were determined and fitted using Langmuir and Freundlich models. The best‐fitted adsorption isotherm was found to be the Langmuir isotherm. Two different kinetic models, pseudo‐first‐order and pseudo‐second‐order, were used to fit the kinetics data, with the latter best describing the experimental data (R2 > 0.989). Statistical analyses showed that ionic strength played an important role in controlling the sorption of Cd(II) onto the ZCR, ZCS, and ZCL. Concerning the mechanism, the adsorption of cadmium on biochar is recognized to be a chemical process as surface complexation and metal ions exchange, while it also exhibits some physisorption features due to the porous and defective structure.

Published: January 2023

SummaryBacillus plays a unique role in Baijiu brewing, but its functions have not been fully explored. In this study, Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Thermoactinospora rubra were used as chassis microorganisms in a fermentation system. Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis, which are common in Maotai‐flavoured Baijiu, were studied in the fermentation. Their metabolic differences and effects on the formation of Baijiu flavour in the process of stacking fermentation were analysed. The combined fermentation system of B. licheniformis showed the highest glucose metabolism, good flavour production, the greatest number of flavour compounds and the highest contents of important compounds, including ethanol (80.51%) and tetramethylpyrazine (0.35%). The maximum concentrations of glucan, maltotriose, maltose monohydrate and glucose were 349.64, 70.98, 64.34 and 51.31 mg g−1, respectively. These results suggested that the metabolism of sugar and its derivatives was closely related to the overall flavour of the fermentation system.
Effects of injection conditions on temperature and component distributions in a CVD furnace for large‐size silica glass
Authors: Li Chengshuai , Zhang Han , Ma Qianli , Fang Haisheng 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSilica glass is a superior functional material due to its excellent thermophysical properties. With the increasing demand for large‐size and high‐purity silica glass, a novel chemical vapor deposition (CVD) furnace characterized by a crucible has been proposed, which requires a deep understanding of heat and mass transport characteristics inside for better control. Aimed at this, a comprehensive simulation model is developed in the paper. The model is well verified with the experimentally measured temperature and is then used to examine distributions of temperature and critical components in the furnace. Effects of the injection conditions are further investigated, among which the H2–O2 equivalence ratio and flow rate have a great influence on the temperature and components distributions, whereas the SiCl4 flow rate mainly affects the SiO2 distribution. An improved injection condition is put forward finally, which is much better than the reference case; the average for the temperature and SiO2 concentration on the deposition surface is increased, respectively, by 23 K and 0.018 mol/m3, and sufficient homogeneity is maintained.

Published: January 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo show the benefit of a minor orthodontic pretreatment prior to fixed restorations in the esthetic zone in challenging situations.OverviewEsthetic rehabilitations in complex situations need careful treatment planning and comprehensive interdisciplinary approach. Minor orthodontic pretreatments may transfer complex situations into straight forward situations. Typical indications are space opening in order to provide space for a restoration with anatomic proportion or corrections of the tooth axis.ConclusionThis article presents three clinical cases that show how decision making can be facilitated by a functional and esthetic wax‐up/mock‐up workflow and how orthodontic pretreatment can contribute to a more functional, less invasive, and more esthetic outcome of restorative treatments in the esthetic zone.Clinical SignificanceSome complex cases in restorative dentistry can be transformed to straight forward cases with the help of minor orthodontic tooth movements.
Targeting carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 isoforms in the hypothalamus: A promising strategy to regulate energy balance
Authors: Rodríguez‐Rodríguez Rosalía , Fosch Anna , Garcia‐Chica Jesús , Zagmutt Sebastián , Casals Nuria 
Published: January 2023

AbstractTackling the growing incidence and prevalence of obesity urgently requires uncovering new molecular pathways with therapeutic potential. The brain, and in particular the hypothalamus, is a major integrator of metabolic signals from peripheral tissues that regulate functions such as feeding behavior and energy expenditure. In obesity, hypothalamic capacity to sense nutritional status and regulate these functions is altered. An emerging line of research is that hypothalamic lipid metabolism plays a critical role in regulating energy balance. Here, we focus on the carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1) enzyme family responsible for long‐chain fatty acid metabolism. The evidence suggests that two of its isoforms expressed in the brain, CPT1A and CPT1C, play a crucial role in hypothalamic lipid metabolism, and their promise as targets in food intake and bodyweight management is currently being intensively investigated. In this review we describe and discuss the metabolic actions and potential up‐ and downstream effectors of hypothalamic CPT1 isoforms, and posit the need to develop innovative nanomedicine platforms for selective targeting of CPT1 and related nutrient sensors in specific brain areas as potential next‐generation therapy to treat obesity.
Trajectories of positive youth development and promotive factors among adolescents during the transition to high school in China
Authors: Chai Xiaoyun , Xiong Peng , Lin Danhua 
Published: January 2023

AbstractWithin the framework of positive youth development (PYD) and life course theory, this study was designed to examine patterns of PYD and promotive factors over the first semester of Chinese high school with a sample of 480 students (boys, 43.96%). The growth mixture model identified four trajectories of PYD, labeled high start–fast decreasing, high start–low decreasing, low start–low increasing, and mid–persistent. Results also showed that membership in a PYD trajectory is significantly related to three promotive factors: parental involvement, teacher involvement, and intentional self‐regulation. These findings have important theoretical and practical insights for a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of positive development in adolescents following the critical period surrounding the transition to high school.
Positioning modernist texts in the English department in Hong Kong: From ‘planetary’ modernisms to ‘planetary’ pedagogies?
Authors: Chan Evelyn Tsz Yan 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis essay discusses the pedagogical implications of recent theorizations of new modernisms as ‘planetary’ for Asian contexts such as Hong Kong. It explains how modernist texts lend themselves strongly to the uncanny experience of seeing the self in the other and vice versa in the setting of Hong Kong modernities, which leads to a much deeper understanding of both the self and the other. The essay argues that this quality can be harnessed using a creative writing approach that emphasizes exploring these present modernities in courses on modernism in English departments. One of the conscious goals of modernist studies in Asian settings such as Hong Kong then becomes not only (or even not primarily) the turn outward, but also the turn inward, the defamiliarization and refamiliarization of the ‘home’.
Global modernist studies: Asian perspectives
Authors: Zhang Nan , Shin Kunio 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBringing together a polyphony of voices from Asia, this special issue seeks to contribute to a more nuanced picture of modernist histories and practices during both the heyday of modernism in the arts in the early twentieth century and the present day, when the new modernist studies keeps refreshing conceptions of modernism across multiple spatiotemporal scales. With case studies situated in Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and India, the issue aims to be illustrative rather than comprehensive in terms of its focus, scope, and approaches. Addressing conceptual, institutional, and pedagogical aspects of modernist practices across various sites of Asia, this cluster of essays offers new data and fresh perspectives, from which we can examine how an internally diverse region like Asia simultaneously uncovers the intricate complexities of global modernist studies and furnishes possibilities to rethink, or even reshape, its ongoing development.
Beyond taxonomies: Vagrantly “inhabiting” the modernist classroom
Authors: Mundeja Ruchi 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis article takes the current transnational turn in modernist studies as entry point to probe how that plays out in the classroom in non‐Western locations that are often also the “locales” of that disciplinary shift. I propose a waylaying of the energies of dispersion and diffusion that currently animate the modernist field to decolonize the modernist classroom through a parallel vagrancy, but one focused on recovering the local from these compelling taxonomic shifts. It is quite easy to be sucked under by the adrenaline rush of these expansions of new modernist studies that mirror modernism's own self–mythologies. To resist that, we need to be vagrants inside the classroom, to bring into it the choice pickings from our wider reading and research. Our fealty to the modernist archive and the professional competence incumbent on us notwithstanding, our ability to bring tentative new findings from our own research and readings, can potentially dynamize our teaching spaces, as also our commitment to a more decenterd approach. Ready embraces of belatedly discovered writers into the modernist corpus might make our taxonomies look suitably plural and fashionable but subsume the writers' own demonstrated recalcitrance to those taxonomies. Teaching modernism as a core course with a fixed, prescribed, syllabi comprising largely of the Anglo‐American presences such as Virginia Woolf and Joseph Conrad has in some ways released the itinerant in me. Through carefully culled examples from my own teaching of the modernist canon, I argue that a genuine opening of modernist studies within the classroom can come from a tempering of the ‘professional’ by itinerant interludes.
