Better Knowledge Enhancement for Privacy‐Preserving Cross‐Project Defect Prediction
Authors: Wang Yuying , Li Yichen , Wang Haozhao , Zhao Lei , Zhang Xiaofang 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTCross‐project defect prediction (CPDP) poses a nontrivial challenge to construct a reliable defect predictor by leveraging data from other projects, particularly when data owners are concerned about data privacy. In recent years, federated learning (FL) has become an emerging paradigm to guarantee privacy information by collaborative training a global model among multiple parties without sharing raw data. While the direct application of FL to the CPDP task offers a promising solution to address privacy concerns, the data heterogeneity arising from proprietary projects across different companies or organizations will bring troubles for model training. In this paper, we study the privacy‐preserving CPDP with data heterogeneity under the FL framework. To address this problem, we propose a novel knowledge enhancement approach named FedDP with two simple but effective solutions: 1. local heterogeneity awareness and 2. global knowledge distillation. Specifically, we employ open‐source project data as the distillation dataset and optimize the global model with the heterogeneity‐aware local model ensemble via knowledge distillation. Experimental results on 19 projects from two datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms baselines.
Employing a Zn‐air/Photo‐Electrochemical Cell for In Situ Generation of H2O2 for Onsite Control of Pollutants

Published: January 2025

AbstractIndustrial production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is energy‐intensive and generates unwanted byproducts. Herein, an alternative production strategies of H2O2 are demonstrated in a Zn‐air and a photoelectrochemical cell. Employing an optimally produced reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrocatalyst@air‐cathode, an impressive power density of 320 Wmgeo−2 (geo = geometric area) is achieved along with a high H2O2 production rate of 3.17 mol mgeo−2h−1 (operating potential = 0.8 V). Systematic investigations reveal the critical role of specific functional groups (viz. C─O─C, chemisorbed O2, C≐C) to be responsible for enhancing the yield of H2O2. The in situ generated superoxide (O2˙) and hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) act as oxidants to efficiently degrade onsite, a model textile dye pollutant (viz. rhodamine B) inside the Zn‐air cell. Using the identical rGO as the photoelectrode in an H‐type cell, the H2O2 production is remarkably enhanced under visible light illumination. Simultaneously, the onsite pollutant degradation occurs five times faster than the Zn‐air cell (at the same operating potential = 0.8 V). This work opens a new paradigm for electrosynthesis, wherein an underlying redox can be utilized to synthesize industrial chemicals for onsite control of environmental pollution sustainably.

AbstractIntegration of different active sites by heterostructure engineering is pivotal to optimize the intrinsic activities of an oxygen electrocatalyst and much needed to enhance the performance of rechargeable Zn–air batteries (ZABs). Herein, a biphasic nanoarchitecture encased in in situ grown N‐doped graphitic carbon (MnO/Co‐NGC) with heterointerfacial sites are constructed. The density functional theory model reveals formation of lattice oxygen bridged heterostructure with pyridinic nitrogen atoms anchored Co species, which facilitate adsorption of oxygen intermediates. Consequently, the well‐designed catalyst with accessible active sites, abundant oxygen vacant sites, and heterointerfacial coupling effects, simultaneously accelerate the electron/mass transfer and thus promotes the trifunctional electrocatalysis. The assembled aqueous ZAB delivers maximum power density of ≈268 mW cm−2 and a specific capacity of 797.8 mAh gzn−1 along with excellent rechargeability and extremely small voltage gap decay rate of 0.0007 V h−1. Further, the fabricated quasisolid‐state ZAB owns a remarkable power density of 163 mW cm−2 and long cycle life, outperforming the benchmark air‐electrode and many recent reports, underlining its robustness and suitability for practical utilization in diverse portable applications.

AbstractSilicon nanowires (Si NWs) have attracted considerable interest owing to their distinctive properties, which render them promising candidates for a wide range of advanced applications in electronics, photonics, energy storage, and sensing. However, challenges in achieving large‐scale production, high uniformity, and shape control limit their practical use. This study presents a novel fabrication approach combining nanoimprint lithography, nanotransfer printing, and metal‐assisted chemical etching to produce highly uniform and shape‐controlled Si NW arrays. By optimizing the process parameters, Si NWs with various diameters (100, 200, and 400 nm) are successfully fabricated on 6‐inch wafers, achieving high uniformity confirmed through statistical and surface reflection analyses. Furthermore, a conformal coating of titanium nitride on the uniform Si NWs enables broadband absorption with average absorption of 75% in the wavelength range from 250 to 2500 nm, demonstrating their potential for next‐generation optoelectronic devices. These findings provide valuable insights for the scalable production of Si NWs and their integration into high‐performance electronic systems.

Published: January 2025

AbstractNext‐generation ionic skin (i‐skin) should be self‐healing and self‐powered, promoting its development toward lightweight, miniaturization, compact, and portable designs. Previously reported self‐powered i‐skin mostly either lack the ability to self‐repair damaged parts or only have self‐healing capabilities some components, falling short of achieving complete device self‐healability. In this work, a self‐bonding strategy is presented to obtain an all‐polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) magnetoelectric i‐skin (MIS) that simultaneously achieves self‐powering and full‐device autonomous self‐healability. The three‐layered MIS can easily restore mechanical and electrochemical performance at the full‐device level without requiring any external stimulus. The developed MIS can be easily configured into various 3D architectures with highly compatible magnetic and conductive components, offering promising potential for the advancement of embodied energy technologies. The present work provides a versatile and user‐friendly platform for producing a wide range of intrinsic self‐healing multi‐layered devices made from soft materials, with potential applications extending beyond human‐machine interfaces and artificial intelligence.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTGenomic and evolutionary analysis of epidemic porcine hepatitis E virus (HEV) in the Tibetan Plateau was performed. Faecal samples were collected from 216 Tibetan pigs and 78 Tibetan Yorkshire (Large White) and 53 tissue samples from Yorkshire from the Linzhi City slaughterhouse. Total RNA was extracted from faeces and fragments of HEV open reading frame 2 (ORF2) detected by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction (RT‐nPCR) and cloned. Twenty‐three samples (23/347; 6.63%) were positive for the virus, including 6.94% (15/216) Tibetan pig and 6.11% (8/131) Yorkshire samples. No tissue samples tested positive for the virus. Cloned sequences were uploaded to GenBank (accession numbers: OR392679‐OR392685, OR355817‐OR355824 and OR909495‐OR909502) and a phylogenetic tree constructed. The entire viral genome was amplified using primers for the 5‐month‐old Tibetan pig sequence which confirmed that the strain belonged to HEV type 4, subtype d (GenBank accession number: OQ981960) and showed 93.30% homology with Sichuan Tibetan pig sequence, MK410044. Bayesian tree analysis showed that the earliest divergence was in 1999 and evidence of homologous recombination was found. Genomic and evolutionary analysis of HEV in the Tibetan Plateau is presented. The importance of continuous surveillance and genomic analysis of HEV is highlighted, especially in regions like the Tibetan Plateau where new strains may emerge. The findings contribute to our understanding of HEV's genetic diversity, evolutionary history and potential risks to animal and human health.

AbstractThis case report describes the successful chemotherapeutic treatment and outcome of an oral extramedullary plasmacytoma using melphalan and prednisolone. A 9‐year‐old Cairn Terrier was presented with a maxillary oral extramedullary plasmacytoma, diagnosed with histopathology and immuno‐histochemistry. A chemotherapy protocol of melphalan and prednisolone was given for 100 days, and no evidence of neoplasia was found on histopathology of the subsequent maxillectomy. This is the first case report of chemotherapy being used successfully to treat an oral plasmacytoma.
Poincaré inequality for one-forms on four manifolds with bounded Ricci curvature
Authors: Honda Shouhei , Mondino Andrea 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this short note, we provide a quantitative global Poincaré inequality for one-forms on a closed Riemannian four manifold, in terms of an upper bound on the diameter, a positive lower bound on the volume, and a two-sided bound on the Ricci curvature. This seems to be the first non-trivial result giving such an inequality without any higher curvature assumptions. The proof is based on a Hodge theoretic result on orbifolds, a comparison for fundamental groups, and a spectral convergence with respect to Gromov–Hausdorff convergence, via a degeneration result to orbifolds by Anderson.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Purpose
Magnetic Resonance Imaging based brain segmentation and volumetry has become an important tool in clinical routine and research. However the impact of the used hardware is only barely investigated. This study aims to assess the influence of scanner manufacturer, field strength and head-coil on volumetry results.

Methods
10 healthy subjects (27.4 ± 1.71 years) were prospectively examined in a Philips Achieva 1.5T, Philips Ingenia CX 3T, Siemens MAGNETOM Aera 1.5T and Siemens MAGNETOM Vida 3T, the latter equipped with three different head coils, within one day. Brain volumetry of the whole brain, total white and grey matter, the cortical grey matter of the supratentorial lobes as well as regions important for the differentiation of neurodegenerative diseases of the dementia and movement disorder spectrum and the ventricular system was performed using the CE-certified software mdbrain by mediaire (Berlin, Germany). Both raw volumetry results and percentile allocation provided by the software were analysed.

Results
This study reveals significantly different volumetry results for all examined brain regions beside the ventricular system between the different MRI devices but comparable results between the different head coils. When examining the percentile allocation provided by used software, the Intraclass-Correlation-Coefficient (ICC) values were even lower than the raw volume ICC values ranging from poor to excellent correlation.

Conclusion
The present study reveals highly relevant results that need to be considered both in clinical routine when analysing follow-up examinations from different scanner types and clinical research, especially when planning longitudinal and/or multicentre studies.
Incentives and peer effects in the workplace: On the impact of envy and wage transparency on organizational design
Authors: Kragl Jenny , Bental Benjamin , Safaynikoo Peymaneh 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The article is concerned with understanding the impact of social preferences and wage transparency on the optimal organizational design of firms. We consider a moral-hazard environment with envious workers. The integration of workers in one organizational unit yields productive complementarities but also triggers income comparisons and envy. Separating workers rules out social comparison but also precludes productive synergies. Instead, the firm may impose a wage-secrecy policy to keep the latter while avoiding the former. We show that productive synergies and envy are substitutes under unlimited liability when wages are transparent while they become complements when workers earn rents. As a result, firms are much more likely to integrate workers when the latter are protected by limited liability. Furthermore, even when firms can impose wage secrecy, they prefer not to as long as workers are not too envious. In both cases, firms exploit the incentive effect of pay inequality to raise productive efforts and profits. For the same reason, firms may deliberately establish pay inequality by opting for individual performance pay rather than group bonuses. In this sense, transparency and “sunshine laws” may not be in the self-interest of employees, even more so under a positive minimum wage.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The wide range of mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) technologies enables the spatial distributions of many analyte classes to be investigated. However, as each approach is best suited to certain analytes, combinations of different MSI techniques are increasingly being explored to obtain more chemical information from a sample. In many cases, performing a sequential analysis of the same tissue section is ideal to enable a direct correlation of multimodal data. In this work, we explored different workflows that allow sequential lipid and elemental imaging on the same tissue section using atmospheric pressure laser desorption/ionisation-plasma post-ionisation-MSI (AP-MALDI-PPI-MSI) and laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-MSI (LA-ICP-MSI), respectively. It is found that performing lipid imaging first using matrix-coated samples, followed by elemental imaging on matrix-coated samples, provides high-quality MSI datasets for both lipids and elements, with the resulting distributions being similar to those obtained when each is performed in isolation. The effect of matrix removal prior to elemental imaging, and of performing elemental imaging first were also investigated but found to generally yield lower quality elemental imaging data but comparable lipid imaging data. Finally, we used the ability to acquire both elemental and lipid imaging data from the same section to investigate the spatial correlations between different lipids (including ceramides, phosphatidylethanolamine, and hexosylceramides) and elements within mouse brain tissue.

Abstract

Purpose
Patients who develop metastatic melanoma have a very poor prognosis, and new treatments are needed to improve the response rates. Melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) is a promising target for radionuclide therapy of metastatic melanoma, and alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) peptide analogs show high affinities to MC1Rs. Because targeted alpha therapy (TAT) can be a desirable treatment for metastatic melanoma, this study aimed to develop an 211At-labeled α-MSH peptide analog for TAT of metastatic melanoma.

Methods
We designed an α-MSH analog labeled with 211At using a neopentyl glycol scaffold via a hydrophilic linker. Preliminary studies using 125I-labeled α-MSH analogs were performed to identify suitable hydrophilic linkers. Then, [211At]NpG-GGN4c was prepared using a procedure similar to that of the 125I-labeled counterpart, [125I]NpG-GGN4b. The biodistribution profile of [211At]NpG-GGN4c in B16F10 tumor-bearing mice was compared with that of [125I]NpG-GGN4b. B16F10 tumor-bearing mice were treated with a single dose of vehicle or [211At]NpG-GGN4c (1 or 0.4 MBq).

Results
The D-Glu-D-Arg linker was identified as the optimal hydrophilic linker because of its high affinity for MC1R and good biodistribution profile, especially with low accumulation in the liver and intestine. [211At]NpG-GGN4c showed tumor accumulation comparable to that of [125I]NpG-GGN4b and maintained the tumor radioactivity retention from 1 to 3 h postinjection. [211At]NpG-GGN4c exhibited a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on B16F10 xenograft growth without apparent body weight loss.

Conclusion
[211At]NpG-GGN4c showed dose-dependent efficacy against B16F10 xenografts, suggesting that [211At]NpG-GGN4c is a promising TAT agent for treating metastatic melanoma.
Spinal cord injury in abusive and accidental head injury in children, a neuropathological investigation

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The diagnosis of abusive head trauma (AbHT) in children is a challenging one that needs to be differentiated from natural disease and accidental head injury (AcHT). There is increasing evidence from the Neuroradiology field showing spinal cord injury in children subject to AbHT, which has, so far, been poorly investigated pathologically. In this study we retrospectively reviewed the forensic records of 110 paediatric head injury cases over an eight-year-period. The records included detailed circumstances of death and clinical history alongside neuropathology, ophthalmic pathology and osteo-articular pathology. Based on the final multidisciplinary agreement, the 110 case were grouped into AbHT (n = 40), AcHT (n = 9), not clearly accidental or abusive (“undetermined” (UHT) n = 8) and non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI, n = 53). The spinal cord pathology present within each group was compared. Spinal subdural haematoma (SDH) was present in 71% of AbHT and 50% of AcHT cases and were located predominantly at the thoracolumbar level. In AbHT cases without spinal SDH, the suspected mechanism of injury was that of head impact rather than shaking, whilst cases of AcHT with spinal SDH were associated with direct trauma to the spinal cord. Injury of spinal nerve roots in AbHT was almost three times that seen in the accidental head injury group (58% vs. 17%). The study shows that pathological examination of the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots is of high value in investigating AHT and may help in differentiating AbHT from AcHT.

Abstract

Purpose
To clarify the status of multigene panel testing for suspected hereditary breast cancer in our institute, and disclose the characteristics of the variants detected.

Methods
This was a retrospective study of individuals who underwent next-generation sequencing-based multigene panel testing at our institute to investigate hereditary genetic variants for suspected hereditary breast cancer.

Results
We identified 36 women who underwent multigene panel testing: 8 (22.2%) had a pathogenic variant, with or without other variants of uncertain significance (VUSs); 15 (41.7%) had VUSs only; and 13 (36.1%) had negative genetic test results. Of the eight pathogenic variants, five were BRCA2 variants and one each were BRCA1, MLH1, and RINT1 variants. The VUSs included BRCA1 and BRCA2, as well as other breast cancer-associated genes, such as ATM, CDH1, CHEK2, and PALB2. Referring to the latest ClinVar database, one of the variants identified as a VUS at diagnosis was re-determined as likely pathogenic, and three of the variants identified as VUSs at diagnosis were re-determined as benign.

Conclusion
VUSs are frequently identified during testing and it is important to monitor these individuals because VUS evaluations can change over time.
