Published: May 2023

AbstractAll‐solid‐state lithium‐metal batteries offer higher energy density and safety than lithium‐ion batteries, but their practical applications have been pushed back by the sluggish Li+ transport, unstable electrolyte/electrode interface, and/or difficult processing of their solid‐state electrolytes. Li+‐conducting composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) consisting of sub‐micron particles of an oxide solid‐state electrolyte (OSSE) dispersed in a solid, flexible polymer electrolyte (SPE) have shown promises to alleviate the low Li+ conductivity of SPE, and the high rigidity and large interfacial impedance of OSSEs. Solution casting has been by far the most widely used procedure for the preparation of CPEs in research laboratories; however, this method imposes several drawbacks including particle aggregation and settlement during a long‐term solvent evaporation step, excessive use of organic solvents, slow production time, and mechanical issues associated with handling of ultra‐thin films of CPEs (<50 µm). To address these challenges, an electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method is developed to in situ deposit ultra‐thin CPEs on lithium‐iron‐phosphate (LFP) cathodes within just a few minutes. EPD‐prepared CPEs have shown better electrochemical performance in the lithium‐metal battery than those CPEs prepared by solution casting due to a better dispersion of OSSE within the SPE matrix and improved CPE contact with LFP cathodes.

AbstractDeveloping effective catalysts to degrade chemical warfare agents is of great significance. Herein, a mesoporous MIL‐101(Cr) composite material dangled with porphyrin molecules (denote as TCPP@MIL‐101(Cr), TCPP = tetra(4‐carboxyphenyl)porphyrin) is reported, which can be used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst for detoxification of mustard gas simulants 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) to 2‐chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO) with a half‐life of 1 min. The catalytic performance of TCPP@MIL‐101(Cr) is comparable to that of homogeneous molecular porphyrin. Mechanistic studies reveal that both 1O2 and O2•− are efficiently generated and play vital roles in the oxidation reaction. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are attached to the TCPP@MIL‐101(Cr) to further enhance the catalytic activity with a benchmark half‐life of 45 s, which is the fastest record so far. A medical mask loaded TCPP@MIL‐101(Cr) is fabricated for practical applications, which can selectively photoxidize CEES to CEESO under sunlight and air atmosphere, exhibiting the best degradation performance among the reported fabric‐like composite materials.

AbstractDesigning electrocatalysts with strong electronic metal‐support interaction can effectively regulate the electronic properties of metal active centers, therefore maximizing the catalytic performance. As a proof of concept, heteroatoms doped carbon with CoPt alloy and isolated Co single atoms (CoPtCoSA@NSC) are synthesized using CoPt bimetallic metal‐organic framework as the precursor in this work. The existence of CoSA on the carbon substrate leads to more electron transfer between CoPt and the support, and appropriate upward shift of the d band center of the catalysts, which can effectively reduce the reaction barrier of rate determine step and boost the catalytic performance of CoPt alloy. The enhanced catalytic activity and stability of CoPtCoSA@NSC are demonstrated experimentally. Remarkably, the overpotential for hydrogen evolution reaction is only 23 mV at 10 mA cm−2and the half‐wave potential for oxygen reduction reaction is 0.90 V, both exceeding the commercial Pt/C benchmark. In addition, CoPtCoSA@NSC also exhibits great potential as a cathode electrocatalyst for Zn–air battery, in terms of large open circuit potential of 1.53 V, high power density of 184 mW cm−2, as well as superior cycling stability. This work provides a novel strategy for regulating the electronic structure and catalytic performance of alloy based electrocatalysts.

AbstractAqueous Zn‐based batteries (AZBs) have attracted intensive attention. However, to explore advanced cathode materials with in‐depth elucidation of their charge storage mechanisms, improve energy storage capacity, and construct novel cell systems remain a great challenge. Herein, a new pseudocapacitive multiple perovskite fluorides (ABF3) cathode is designed, represented by KMF‐(IV, V, and VI; M = NiCoMnZn/‐Mg/‐MgFe), and constructed Zn//KMF‐(IV, V, and VI) AZBs and their flexible devices. Ex situ tests have revealed a typical bulk phase conversion mechanism of KMF‐VI electrode for charge storage in alkaline media dominated by redox‐active Ni/Co/Mn species, with transformation of ABF3 nanocrystals into amorphous metal oxide/(oxy)hydroxide nanosheets. By employing single or bipolar redox electrolyte strategies of 20 mm [Fe(CN)6]3− or/and 10 mm SO32−/Cu[(NH3)4]2+ acting on KMF‐(IV, V, and VI) cathode and Zn anode, the AZBs show an improved energy storage owing to additional capacity contribution of redox electrolytes. The as‐designed Zn//polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)‐KOH‐K3[Fe(CN)6]//KMF‐(IV, V, and VI) redox gel electrolytes‐assisting flexible AZBs (RGE‐FAZBs) exhibit remarkable performance under different bending angles because of slight dissolution corrosion of zinc anode compared with liquid electrolytes. Overall, the work demonstrates the novel idea of conversion‐type multiple ABF3 cathode for redox electrolytes‐assisting AZBs (RE‐AZBs) and their flexible systems, showing great significance on electrochemical energy storage.
Conservation and intervention in MC2020

Published: May 2023

AbstractThis paper introduces the conservation and intervention provisions included in the latest edition of the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures (MC2020). This is the first international code which addresses life‐cycle management issues for both new and existing concrete structures. Accordingly, the contents relating to conservation (maintenance and interventions) have been extensively enhanced compared with the provisions included in the previous MC2010, with these now including monitoring. Much of the contents on interventions are newly‐added provisions in MC2020. A new chapter (19) is introduced to show the available materials/systems and the properties necessary for these materials. The necessary properties required to make successful interventions also include consideration of the long‐term performance of materials/systems and compatibility with the substrate concrete. All the processes for interventions, including intervention strategies, selection of intervention methods, survey for interventions, design of interventions and execution of interventions are explained in chapter (38) on conservation and a new chapter (37) on execution of interventions. Selection of intervention methods should be made according to the intervention strategies and the causes and extent of deterioration/damage. In the future the issues of repairability and the standardization of intervention methods are expected to have greater importance. Repairability is the ability to physically repair a structure or structural element which has deteriorated or been damaged by the effects of the considered actions, thus restoring its functionality, but while incurring acceptably low economic cost, environmental burdens and societal disruption.

AbstractStudents often perceive school science as purely theoretical, overloaded with facts, and mostly disconnected from their school, home, and community life. One way to bridge the disconnection between school science and lived experiences, and support students in realizing the relevance of science to their everyday life, is by enabling them to integrate theirfunds of knowledge(FoK), the knowledge and expertise people have because of their roles in their families, communities, and culture, within science. To support students in this task, we developedTogether with Science, a series of Vlogs (video blogs) designed to guide families and students through home‐based experiments and support the emergence of athird space, where science and everyday life intersect. The Vlogs provided the necessary scientific background for the experiments and encouraged participants to share aspects of their lived experiences and reflect upon the realization of scientific phenomena in their lives. Using videotaped discussions of students and family members, we examined the interactions between them, as well as the FoK addressed in the conversation. The results indicate that multiple types of interactions emerged between students and family members, as they jointly conducted the science experiments and discussed their findings. Shifts in these interactions were associated with the development of ashared third space, in which both students and family members were able to concurrently relate everyday life to the scientific phenomenon. Most FoK were associated with participants' homes and culture. Our results suggest that family members can serve asbrokersto support their children in realizing the relationship between science and their everyday life, by bringing in their unique FoK into the scientific discussion, and highlighting the importance of thoughtfully designed learning environments to support them in the process.

ABSTRACTObjectivePrenatal diagnosis of a rare disease on ultrasound relies on a physician's ability to remember an intractable amount of knowledge. We developed a real‐time decision support system (DSS) that suggests, at each step of the examination, the next phenotypic feature to assess, optimizing the diagnostic pathway to the smallest number of possible diagnoses. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of this real‐time DSS using clinical data.MethodsThis validation study was conducted on a database of 549 perinatal phenotypes collected from two referral centers (one in France and one in the UK). Inclusion criteria were: at least one anomaly was visible on fetal ultrasound after 11 weeks' gestation; the anomaly was confirmed postnatally; an associated rare disease was confirmed or ruled out based on postnatal/postmortem investigation, including physical examination, genetic testing and imaging; and, when confirmed, the syndrome was known by the DSS software. The cases were assessed retrospectively by the software, using either the full phenotype as a single input, or a stepwise input of phenotypic features, as prompted by the software, mimicking its use in a real‐life clinical setting. Adjudication of discordant cases, in which there was disagreement between the DSS output and the postnatally confirmed (‘ascertained’) diagnosis, was performed by a panel of external experts. The proportion of ascertained diagnoses within the software's top‐10 differential diagnoses output was evaluated, as well as the sensitivity and specificity of the software to select correctly as its best guess a syndromic or isolated condition.ResultsThe dataset covered 110/408 (27%) diagnoses within the software's database, yielding a cumulative prevalence of 83%. For syndromic cases, the ascertained diagnosis was within the top‐10 list in 93% and 83% of cases using the full‐phenotype and stepwise input, respectively, after adjudication. The full‐phenotype and stepwise approaches were associated, respectively, with a specificity of 94% and 96% and a sensitivity of 99% and 84%. The stepwise approach required an average of 13 queries to reach the final set of diagnoses.ConclusionsThe DSS showed high performance when applied to real‐world data. This validation study suggests that such software can improve perinatal care, efficiently providing complex and otherwise overlooked knowledge to care‐providers involved in ultrasound‐based prenatal diagnosis. © 2023 The Authors.

Published: May 2023

AbstractAiming to diversify the energy matrix, mainly regarding the transport sector, electric vehicles have been used as an option to reduce emissions. Despite many advantages of this technology, such as zero operational GHG emission, better energy efficiency compared to conventional vehicles, and low maintenance costs, the purchase cost is still high in several countries, compromising their adoption by many customers. In this context, this paper aims to evaluate the factors that impact electric vehicles (EV) adoption. A systematic review was conducted considering peer‐reviewed papers published in English from 2016 to 2020, and results were separated into clusters to enable the assessment. The main factors found in the literature that most impacted EV market diffusion negatively were the purchase price and the risks related to the market infancy, while subjective norm, perceived behavior, prior knowledge and experience with EV and government incentives influenced EV adoption positively.This article is categorized under:Human and Social Dimensions > Behavioral ScienceCities and Transportation > Electric MobilityEnergy and Power Systems > Electrification

AbstractProduction processes for the manufacturing of technical components are enabled by the availability and use of adequate engineering materials. Within the Internet of Production this work stream is dedicated to developing material and process-based solutions to increase the data availability during the manufacturing and operation of discontinuous mold-based production systems such as high-pressure die casting (HPDC) and injection molding (IM). This includes the development of data-driven alloy design strategies for additively manufactured mold components using tool steels as an initial use case as well as new surface-based smart sensor and actuator solutions. Material data and properties are tracked from the steel powder production via gas atomization until the final use in a mold to produce castings. Intermediate steps include the 3D printing of mold components via laser powder bed fusion and subsequent application of physical vapor deposition and thermal spraying-based smart multilayer coatings with sensor and actuator capabilities. The coating system is refined by selective laser patterning to facilitate the integration onto complex shape molding tool surfaces. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulation-based methods are developed to derive material properties required for the modeling of polymer-based materials. By using this integrated methodology with the application of integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) methods from the metal powder for the mold printing up until the casting or molding process, the foundation for a holistic life cycle assessment within the integrated structural health engineering (ISHE) framework is laid for the produced tooling systems as well as the molded parts.

Authors: Reichelt-Brushett Amanda 
Published: May 2023

AbstractA large part of marine pollution studies is about collecting, analysing, and interpreting the concentrations of contaminants in the environment. This involves field and laboratory work to collect and analyse the samples. Some analyses are completed directly in the field (i.e., in situ). From the process of collection through to the final analyses, there are many quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) steps that are required, which, when used properly, ensure sample integrity and the reliability of results, therefore, resulting in meaningful interpretations and conclusions.

Published: May 2023

AbstractThe international community has recognized the critical role of information and communication technology (ICT) in the advancement of humanity. ICT is a critical component of each of the United Nations’ (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (ITU 2021). Nonetheless, 48% of the world’s population remains unconnected to the internet (Henri 2020, p. 2), resulting in what is referred to as the digital divide. The information and communications technology industry is making strenuous efforts to provide diverse connectivity options in metropolitan areas. However, little effort is being taken to guarantee that underserved markets are connected (Sheikh and Halima 2020). In the UAE, we identify underserved markets and classify them as rural villages, remote agricultural/industrial areas, and vehicles in motion.By examining the present ICT market, we can discover a possible solution to this problem through the use of cutting-edge satellite communications technology. Numerous initiatives involving the use of Non-Geostationary Orbit (NGSO) satellites to deliver broadband access began to emerge. The primary benefit of NGSO satellites over Geostationary Orbit (GSO) satellites is their proximity to the Earth’s surface (NGSO is approximately 2000 km above sea level, while GSO is at an elevation of around 36,000 km above sea level). The objective is to perform market research and analyze the connectivity solutions available today. Finally, we will be able to choose the option that is expected to resolve the issue.

AbstractThe current study was conducted to examine the role of lexical cohesion in improving the quality of twelfth graders’ essay writing. The study specifically aimed at examining the correlation between lexical cohesive devices (LCD) and the quality of written texts as well as investigating the barriers of employing these devices for twelfth graders. The context was a private American curriculum school in the UAE. The present paper adopted the quantitative correlational and the quantitative survey research approaches. Data were collected using document analysis of 30 twelfth graders’ essays and an online survey attempted by 113 English teachers. Data were analysed using correlational statistics, multiple linear regression, and exploratory factor analysis. The results indicated that there was a significantly positive, moderate association between cohesive ties and students’ essay scores. The results also demonstrated that there was a significantly linear relation between hyponyms and synonyms and students’ writing scores although hyponyms had more effect on the writing score than synonyms. The findings of exploratory factor analysis identified three factors as major barriers encountered by learners while using lexical cohesion in their written texts including (1) lack of resources and instructions, (2) impact of L1 interference and (3) limited lexical awareness.
Homological Wideness, “Class Field Theory” for Covers, and a Number Theoretical Analogue
Authors: Cornelissen Gunther , Peyerimhoff Norbert 
Published: May 2023

AbstractIn a previous chapter, we have constructed a particular Riemannian covering realising a wreath product. In this chapter, we first return to that example and use class field theory for Riemannian coverings (à la Sunada) to study the behaviour of geodesic in such covers. We then relate, in the general case, homological wideness of a group G acting on a manifold M (i.e., the question whether the first homology of M contains the regular representation of G) to the existence of geodesics with certain splitting behaviour. In exact analogy to an classical argument in analytic number theory, we use the Ruelle zeta function to show the existence of infinitely many totally split geodesics for a given covering in the negative curvature case. Finally, the analogy with class field theory allows us to study an analogue of homological wideness in the theory of extensions of number fields.
Manifold and Orbifold Constructions

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn this chapter, we collect some information on various constructions of manifolds, orbifolds, and their covers. Notably, we discuss the notions of fiber product (in the sense of Thurston) and compositum of manifolds over a common developable orbifold, the difference with the set-theoretic fiber product, the connected components of the fiber product, compositum of Galois covers, normal closure of a cover, and the relation between commensurability, arithmeticity, and the existence of certain covers in relation to Mostow rigidity.
