Published: August 2023

L’objectif de l’étude est d’évaluer l’association entre certaines caractéristiques individuelles des thérapeutes et leur habileté à détecter les ruptures d’alliance de retrait et de confrontation, en tenant compte de leur niveau d’expérience clinique. Les dispositions personnelles : attachement, conscience de soi, intelligence émotionnelle et empathie ont été regroupées en deux facteurs, réactivité et conscience émotionnelles. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats suggèrent que ces deux facteurs sont positivement associés à la performance de détection chez les expérimentés, mais pas chez les non expérimentés. Ils soutiennent l’importance de la mise sur pied de formations personnalisées pour améliorer l’habileté de détection des thérapeutes.

Aim: The nutrients and antioxidants of blends of native resistant starch, acetylated resistant starch, and flours of unripe plantain, pigeon pea and rice bran were investigated as possible alternatives to functional food products in managing type-2 diabetes.
Place and Duration of Study: Food Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Food Science and Technology, and Functional Foods Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria. From January, 2022 to January, 2023.
Methodology: Native resistant starch was isolated from plantain and was modified via acetylation. Five sample blends of native resistant starch, acetylated resistant starch, and flours of pigeon pea and rice bran were prepared, using Mixture Design Expert 11.0.0 and were coded as follows: PLF – (100% Plantain flour), used as a control sample; PLPRF – plantain flour: pigeon pea flour: rice bran flour (73.08:15.15:11.76); PSPRF – native plantain starch: pigeon pea flour: rice bran flour (73.08:15.15:11.76); AP1SPRF – acetylated plantain starch: pigeon pea flour: rice bran flour (73.08:15.15:11.76); AP2SPRF – acetylated plantain starch: pigeon pea flour: rice bran flour (70.67:18.15:11.18). The proximate compositions, minerals, amino acid profiles, α-amylase and α-glucosidase and in-vitro antioxidant potentials of the samples were compared with the commercial flour product, CRF (100% Cerolina flour: wheat and soybean produced by More Foods Lagos, Nigeria).
Results: The results showed that AP2SPR had the lowest moisture content (2.40%), highest ash content (4.63%) and lowest fat content (2.42%). K, Cu, Fe. Na, Zn and P were more relatively abundant in the blends than in PLF. Generally, the chemical compositions of the flour blends improved with the addition of quality protein, which extensively enhanced the mineral contents in terms of Ca, K, Fe, Zn and P. Total essential amino acids were higher in PLF and the flour blends than CRF, ranging from 35.18 (g/100g protein) in CRF to 41.81 (g/100g protein) in PLPRF whereas their total non-essential amino acids showed an opposite trend, ranging from 58.18 (g/100g protein) in PLPRF to 64.84 (g/100g protein) in CRF. Upon acetylation, total essential amino acids improved from 39.84 (g/100g protein) in PSPRF to 41.00 (g/100g protein) in AP1SPRF and 41.32 (g/100g protein) in AP2SPRF. Both AP1SPRF and AP2SPRF were able to reduce Fe2+ to Fe3+, scavenge DPPH, FRAP and ABTS and inhibit α-amylase and α-glucosidase activities.
Conclusion: The flour blends of AP1SPRF and AP2SPRF studied were a good source of resistant starch and bioactive ingredients that would be useful in a variety of dietary functional food products to manage type-2 diabetes.

Approximate Gaussian variance inference for state‐space models
Authors: Deka Bhargob , Goulet James‐A. 
Published: August 2023

SummaryState‐space models require an accurate knowledge of the process error () and measurement error () covariance matrices for exact state estimation. Even though the matrix can be, in many situations, considered to be known from the measuring instrument specifications, it is still a challenge to infer the matrix online while providing reliable estimates along with a low computational cost. In this article, we propose an analytically tractable online Bayesian inference method for inferring the matrix in state‐space models. We refer to this method as approximate Gaussian variance inference (AGVI) using which we are able to treat the error variance and covariance terms in the full matrix as Gaussian hidden states and infer them simultaneously with the other hidden states in a closed‐form manner. The two case studies show that the method is able to provide statistically consistent estimates for the mean and uncertainties of the error variance terms for univariate and multivariate cases. The method also exceeds the performance of the existing adaptive Kalman filter methods both in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency.

AbstractData security is a major concern in digital age, which generally relies on algorithm‐based mathematical encryption. Recently, encryption techniques based on physical principles are emerging and being developed, leading to the new generation of encryption moving from mathematics to the intersection of mathematics and physics. Here, device‐level encryption with ideal security is ingeniously achieved using modulation of the electron–hole radiative recombination in a GaN‐light‐emitting diode (LED). When a nano‐LED is driven in the non‐carrier injection mode, the oscillation of confined electrons can split what should be a single light pulse into multiple pulses. The morphology (amplitude, shape, and pulse number) of those history‐dependent multiple pulses that act as carriers for transmitted digital information depends highly on the parameters of the driving signals, which makes those signals mathematically uncrackable and can increase the volume and security of transmitted information. Moreover, a hardware and software platform are designed to demonstrate the encrypted data transmission based on the device‐level encryption method, enabling recognition of the entire ASCII code table. The device‐level encryption based on splitting electroluminescence provides an encryption method during the conversion process of digital signals to optical signals and can improve the security of LED‐based communication.

Published: August 2023

AbstractElectrocatalytic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) production has emerged as a promising alternative to the chemical method currently used in industry, due to its environmentally friendly conditions and potential for higher activity and selectivity. Heterogeneous molecular catalysts are promising in this regard, as their active site configurations can be judiciously designed, modified, and tailored with diverse functional groups, thereby tuning the activity and selectivity of the active sites. In this work, nickel phthalocyanine derivatives with various conjugation degrees are synthesized and identified as effective pH‐universal electrocatalysts for H2O2 production after heterogenized on nitrogen‐decorated carbon, with increased conjugation degrees leading to boosted selectivity. This is explained by the regulated d‐band center, which optimized the binding energy of the reaction intermediate, reducing the energy barrier for oxygen reduction and leading to optimized H2O2 selectivity. The best catalyst, NiPyCN/CN, exhibits a high H2O2 electrosynthesis activity with ≈95% of H2O2 faradic efficiency in an alkaline medium, demonstrating its potential for H2O2 production.

AbstractCurrent treatment modalities of cutaneous wound infections are largely ineffective, attributed to the increasing burden of antimicrobial resistance. S. aureus, a commonly wound‐associated pathogen continues to pose a clinical challenge, suggesting that new alternative therapeutic materials are urgently required to provide optimal treatment. A layered allotrope of phosphorus termed Black Phosphorus nanoflakes (BPNFs) has emerged as a potential alternative antibacterial material. However, wider deployment of this material requires extensive biological validation using the latest pre‐clinical models to understand its role in wound management. Here, the antibacterial potential of BPNFs against wound pathogens demonstrates over 99% killing efficiency at ambient conditions, while remaining non‐toxic to mammalian skin cells. In addition, in vivo validation of BPNFs using a preclinical model of S. aureus acute wound infection demonstrates that daily topical application significantly reduces infection (3‐log reduction) comparable to ciprofloxacin antibiotic control. Furthermore, the application of BPNFs also accelerates wound closure, increases wound re‐epithelization, and reduces tissue inflammation compared to controls, suggesting a potential role in alleviating the current challenges of infected cutaneous wounds. For the first time, this study demonstrates the potential role of BPNFs in ambient light conditions for clearing a clinically relevant wound infection with favorable wound healing properties.

AbstractRational design/fabrication of high‐activity photocatalysts is of central importance to realize solar‐to‐chemical conversion for tackling worldwide energy/environmental issues. Hence, it is desirable to disclose the element/space/time‐resolved charge kinetics and surface species evolution of photocatalysts under realistic conditions using various in situ characterizations. Furthermore, the correlation of the above‐disclosed mechanisms with atomic‐scale compositions/structures of photocatalysts can further direct the atomic‐level design/synthesis of high‐performance photocatalysts. Herein, Ru atoms incorporated CdS quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized using an in situ hot‐injection route. The optimized Ru incorporated CdS QDs (Ru0.1) exhibit excellent photocatalytic evolution rates of H2O2 (8.78 mmol g−1 h−1) and benzaldehyde (11.70 mmol g−1 h−1), respectively. Four different in situ characterizations demonstrate that in realistic conditions, the incorporated Ru atoms with high oxidation state (+3) effectively attract photo‐generated electrons from bulk to the overall surface of Ru0.1; these directed electron flows also greatly facilitate the transfer of photo‐generated holes from bulk to surface of Ru0.1 via efficiently reducing electron‐hole recombination. in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, electron spin spectroscopy, and species‐trapping experiments further reveal three possible reaction pathways for H2O2 evolution. This work underscores the use of in situ characterizations to reveal the element/space/time‐resolved electrons/holes kinetics and surface‐species generation for photocatalysts in realistic conditions.

Published: August 2023

AbstractTo meet the growing demand for safe and high‐energy batteries, particularly for the commercialization of electric vehicles, a need for further advancement has arisen. An innovative and promising solution for current collectors in LIBs is a metallized plastic current collector (MPCC) with metal‐polymer‐metal multilayer composite structure. This approach offers several advantages. First, it effectively reduces the inert weight and thickness of LIBs, thereby enhancing their energy density. Second, a polymer with electrical insulation and high elongation properties in the MPCC significantly improves the safety performance of LIBs by preventing thermal runaway. Despite its potential for large‐scale application in LIBs, the MPCC still faces significant challenges, such as weak interfacial adhesion force and low electrical conductivity. Therefore, researchers in the field of energy storage are currently focusing on the design, modification, and development of practical MPCCs. Hence, in this review various polymers, preparation approaches, and MPCCs are comprehensively analyzed and summarized. Additionally, detailed discussions are provided on the advances, key issues, improvements and corresponding mechanisms associated with MPCCs. Finally, valuable guidance and future directions are provided for the design and improvement of advanced MPCCs in high‐energy LIBs, thus facilitating the commercialization process.

AbstractPremiseThe interaction between ecological and evolutionary processes has been recognized as an important factor shaping the evolutionary history of species. Some authors have proposed different ecological and evolutionary hypotheses concerning the relationships between plants and their pollinators; a special case is the interaction and suspected coevolution among Agave spp. and their main pollinators, the Leptonycteris bats. Agave spp. have, in general, a pollination syndrome compatible with chiropterophily including floral shape and size, nocturnal nectar production, and nectar quality and sugar concentration. Our goal was to analyze the interaction Agave–Leptonycteris and its dynamics during three different climate scenarios.MethodsWe modeled the Agave–Leptonycteris interaction in its spatial and temporal components during the Pleistocene using Ecological Niche Models (ENMs) and three climate scenarios: Current, Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), and Last InterGlacial (LIG). Furthermore, we analyzed the geographic correlation between 96 Agave spp. and two of the Mexican Tequila bats, genus Leptonycteris.ResultsWe found that Leptonycteris spp. interact with different Agave spp. over their migratory routes. We propose an interaction refuge in Metztitlán and Tehuacán‐Cuicatlán areas, where Agave‐ Leptonycteris interaction has probably remained active. During the nonmigratory season, both bat species consume nectar of almost the same Agave spp., suggesting the possibility of a diffuse coevolution among Agave and Leptonycteris bats.ConclusionsWe propose that in the areas related to migratory bat movements, each bat species interacts with different Agave spp., whereas in the areas occupied by nonmigrant individuals, both bat species consume nectar of almost the same Agave taxa.

AbstractPremiseThe ever‐increasing temperatures of the Anthropocene may facilitate plant invasions. To date, studies of temperature effects on alien plants have mainly focused on aboveground plant traits but ignored belowground traits, which may confound predictions of plant invasion risks.MethodsThe temperature effects on the root growth dynamics of two alien shrubs, invasive Mimosa sepiaria and naturalized Corchorus capsulari, were studied using a 3D, transparent growth system under five temperature treatments (day/night: 18°C/13°C to 34°C/29°C) that cover the present and future warming temperature scenarios in China. We measured root depth and width growth in response to temperature treatments over 84 days. We also investigated intra‐ and interspecific competition of paired plants of the two species grown together at the five temperatures.ResultsShoot growth of M. sepiaria and C. capsularis was optimal at the mid‐range temperature. Root growth, however, was faster at the highest temperature (34°C/29°C) for M. sepiaria, but decreased for C. capsularis as temperatures increased. Root depth growth was more sensitive than root width for both species during neighbor competition. Compared to C. capsularis, M. sepiaria had relatively greater advantage during intra‐ and interspecific competition with increasing temperature, possibly because of its better root growth at high temperatures.ConclusionsThese results suggest that temperature increases can improve the performance of some alien plants by facilitating width and depth growth of their roots. This enhancement requires serious attention when managing and predicting invasion risk.

AbstractRecent technological advances in long‐read high‐throughput sequencing and assembly methods have facilitated the generation of annotated chromosome‐scale whole‐genome sequence data for evolutionary studies; however, generating such data can still be difficult for many plant species. For example, obtaining high‐molecular‐weight DNA is typically impossible for samples in historical herbarium collections, which often have degraded DNA. The need to fast‐freeze newly collected living samples to conserve high‐quality DNA can be complicated when plants are only found in remote areas. Therefore, short‐read reduced‐genome representations, such as target capture and genome skimming, remain important for evolutionary studies. Here, we review the pros and cons of each technique for non‐model plant taxa. We provide guidance related to logistics, budget, the genomic resources previously available for the target clade, and the nature of the study. Furthermore, we assess the available bioinformatic analyses, detailing best practices and pitfalls, and suggest pathways to combine newly generated data with legacy data. Finally, we explore the possible downstream analyses allowed by the type of data generated using each technique. We provide a practical guide to help researchers make the best‐informed choice regarding reduced genome representation for evolutionary studies of non‐model plants in cases where whole‐genome sequencing remains impractical.
