AbstractGlobal climate change has compelled many to rely on photovoltaic (PV) technology to meet the highly demanding energy needs of urban areas. In particular, transparent photovoltaic (TPV) devices can be utilized for building windows, not only supplying electric energy but also improving the overall thermal efficiency of a building. In this work, NiO/ZnO wide‐bandgap oxide TPV heterojunctions are fabricated with Ag nanowire (NW) top electrodes and their PV characteristics are investigated. Special attention is paid to the contributions of surface plasmon (SP) excitation in AgNWs to the PV performance of the TPV device. Light polarized perpendicular to the AgNW axis induces a localized SP resonance in AgNWs at a wavelength of 400 nm, as shown by optical measurements and calculations. The investigation on how the plasmonic AgNWs affect real‐space electric potential distributions and local current‐voltage characteristics of the TPV devices uses Kelvin probe force microscopy and current‐sensing atomic force microscopy, respectively. The spatial redistribution and transport of photogenerated charge carriers strongly depend on the polarization as well as the wavelength of incident light. The results demonstrate that the AgNW‐based top electrodes boost the wavelength‐selective absorption and the effective collection of photocarriers in TPV devices.

AbstractAlthough sex‐related disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence have been well‐reported, whether any such disparities exist in HCC prognosis remains controversial. We aim to characterize sex‐related differences in HCC presentation and prognosis. Consecutive patients who were newly diagnosed with HCC between 2011 and 2020 at our institution were enrolled in this retrospective study. Of the 3977 identified patients diagnosed with HCC between January 2011 and December 2020, 72.2% were men (n = 2871) and 27.8% were women (n = 1106). The age at HCC diagnosis was higher (p < .001), the proportion positive for hepatitis B surface antigen was lower (p < .001), the proportion positive for anti‐hepatitis C virus antibody was higher (p < .001), the proportion of alcoholics was lower (p < .001), the proportion with early stage tumor (i.e., Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer [BCLC] stages 0 and A) was higher (p < .001), the proportion with alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) >20 ng/mL was higher (p = .02), the proportion with cirrhosis was higher (p < .001), the proportion in receipt of liver resection was lower, and the proportion in receipt of ablation was higher (p < .001) among women than among men. Multivariate analysis showed that an age of >65 years (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.162; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.051–1.285; p = .003), BCLC stages B–D (HR = 2.660; 95% CI = 2.372–2.983; p < .001), AFP >20 ng/mL (HR = 1.776; 95% CI = 1.599–1.971; p < .001), and non‐curative treatment (HR = 3.248; 95% CI = 2.910–3.624; p < .001) were associated with mortality, whereas sex was not. Sex was not an independent predictor of mortality of patients with HCC.
Deep aspect extraction and classification for opinion mining in e‐commerce applications using convolutional neural network feature extraction followed by long short term memory attention model
Authors: Sharbatian Kamal , Moattar Mohammad Hossein 
Published: August 2023

AbstractUsers of e‐commerce websites review different aspects of a product in the comment section. In this research, an approach is proposed for opinion aspect extraction and recognition in selling systems. We have used the users' opinions from the Digikala website (www.Digikala.com), which is an Iranian e‐commerce company. In this research, a language‐independent framework is proposed that is adjustable to other languages. In this regard, after necessary text processing and preparation steps, the existence of an aspect in an opinion is determined using deep learning algorithms. The proposed model combines Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and long‐short‐term memory (LSTM) deep learning approaches. CNN is one of the best algorithms for extracting latent features from data. On the other hand, LSTM can detect latent temporal relationships among different words in a text due to its memory ability and attention model. The approach is evaluated on six classes of opinion aspects. Based on the experiments, the proposed model's accuracy, precision, and recall are 70%, 60%, and 85%, respectively. The proposed model was compared in terms of the above criteria with CNN, Naive Bayes, and SVM algorithms and showed satisfying performance.

AbstractObjectivesThe Levantine Middle Bronze Age (MBA, circa 2000–1500 BCE) marks a period of increased trade and regional interaction, spurred on by technological developments. In light of previous research exhibiting limited mobility in Sidon, further investigation was conducted using biodistance analysis to understand local population history and site development.Materials and MethodsDental nonmetric traits, a proxy for genetic information, were explored using ASUDAS on a sub‐sample of primary inhumations (n = 35). The biodistance matrix was generated using Gower distance measures, and further tested using PERMDISP, PERMANOVA, Mantel test and hierarchical cluster analysis. The data was also contrasted to 87Sr/86Sr and δ18O as well as δ13C and δ15N values.ResultsThere were no significant diachronic differences in isotopes values, and there was biological continuity (n = 35, Mantel test r = 0.11, p = 0.02, comparing local phases and biodistance). The analysis also suggested of a sub‐group of individuals with biological proximity shared a more limited range of mobility and dietary habits.ConclusionsThe isotopes (87Sr/86Sr, δ18O, δ13C, δ15N) and biodistance analysis conducted on the Sidon College site skeletal assemblage exhibits stability and continuity of the people, despite the site's increasing role in the maritime network. This continuity may have been a key factor in Sidon's success, allowing it to accumulate wealth and resources for centuries to come.

AbstractBackgroundTherapy in the latent period is favorable for retarding the process of epileptogenesis. Recently, we have discovered that the activated sigma‐1 receptor (Sig‐1R) attenuates the hippocampus pathological injury and memory impairment in the latent period of epileptogenesis. But the molecular mechanism needs further investigation.MethodsPRE‐084 was utilized as a research tool to highly selectively activate Sig‐1R in epileptic mice. After the treatment of PRE‐084, the pro‐inflammatory cytokines, neuropathological traits, and the level of mitochondrial translocator assembly and maintenance 41 homolog (TAMM41) in the hippocampus were examined. The mode in which the Sig‐1R interacts with TAMM41 was explored. The role of TAMM41 in the protecting effect of PRE‐084 was established.ResultsPRE‐084 inhibited the growth of pro‐inflammatory cytokines, reduced the formation of gliosis, alleviated neuronal damage in the hippocampus, and attenuated memory impairment in the latent period of epileptogenesis. The protein level of TAMM41 decreased in the hippocampi of epileptic mice and increased in the PRE‐084‐treated mice. The Sig‐1R bound with TAMM41 directly, maintaining the stability of TAMM41. Knockdown of TAMM41 reversed the protective effect of PRE‐084, and overexpression of TAMM41 exhibited a similar protective action to that of PRE‐084.ConclusionWe presented the concept of the “sigma‐1 receptor–TAMM41 axis” and proposed that augmenting this axis can attenuate neuroinflammation and memory impairment in the process of epileptogenesis.
Warning about potential incidents of critical hyperkalemia during massive transfusion protocol after the preservation period of red blood cell products was extended in Japan

Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundRecently, the Japanese Red Cross Society approved extension of the preservation period of red blood cell products. Since then, we have already experienced two cases of critical hyperkalemia during massive transfusion protocol (MTP).Case PresentationCase 1, a 24‐year‐old man was stabbed in his right posterior chest. Although quick hemorrhage control was completed 35 min after arrival, his potassium level increased from 3.5 to 8.9 mEq/L within 40 min. Case 2, a 44‐year‐old man was transferred to our hospital after a car hit him. We immediately started resuscitation including MTP and opened his abdomen 24 min after arrival. His potassium level increased from 3.5 to 7.8 mEq/L within 38 min.ConclusionAlthough several other factors might be causing this rise in potassium, we consider the extended preservation periods of red blood cell products to be one cause of these unexpectedly rapid rises in potassium during MTP.

AbstractQuantum mechanics dictates that nuclei must undergo some delocalization. In this work, emergence of quantum nuclear delocalization and its rovibrational fingerprints are discussed for the case of the van der Waals complex
. The equilibrium structure of
is planar and T‐shaped, one He atom solvating the quasi‐linear He−H+−He core. The dynamical structure of
, in all of its bound states, is fundamentally different. As revealed by spatial distribution functions and nuclear densities, during the vibrations of the molecule the solvating He is not restricted to be in the plane defined by the instantaneously bent
chomophore, but freely orbits the central proton, forming a three‐dimensional torus around the
chromophore. This quantum delocalization is observed for all vibrational states, the type of vibrational excitation being reflected in the topology of the nodal surfaces in the nuclear densities, showing, for example, that intramolecular bending involves excitation along the circumference of the torus.

Published: August 2023

AbstractThe enantioselective addition of potent nucleophiles to ketenes poses challenges due to competing background reactions and poor stereocontrol. Herein, we present a method for enantioselective phosphoric acid catalyzed amination of ketenes generated from α‐aryl‐α‐diazoketones. Upon exposure to visible light, the diazoketones undergo Wolff rearrangement to generate ketenes. The phosphoric acid not only accelerates ketene capture by amines to form a single configuration of aminoenol intermediates but also promotes an enantioselective proton‐transfer reaction of the intermediates to yield the products. Mechanistic studies elucidated the reaction pathway and explained how the catalyst expedited the transformation and controlled the enantioselectivity.
Electroreductive Radical Borylation of Unactivated (Hetero)Aryl Chlorides Without Light by Using Cumulene‐Based Redox Mediators**

Published: August 2023

AbstractSingle‐electron transfer (SET) plays a critical role in many chemical processes, from organic synthesis to environmental remediation. However, the selective reduction of inert substrates (Ep/2<−2 V vs Fc/Fc+), such as ubiquitous electron‐neutral and electron‐rich (hetero)aryl chlorides, remains a major challenge. Current approaches largely rely on catalyst photoexcitation to reach the necessary deeply reducing potentials or suffer from limited substrate scopes. Herein, we demonstrate that cumulenes–organic molecules with multiple consecutive double bonds–can function as catalytic redox mediators for the electroreductive radical borylation of (hetero)aryl chlorides at relatively mild cathodic potentials (approximately −1.9 V vs. Ag/AgCl) without the need for photoirradiation. Electrochemical, spectroscopic, and computational studies support that step‐wise electron transfer from reduced cumulenes to electron‐neutral chloroarenes is followed by thermodynamically favorable mesolytic cleavage of the aryl radical anion to generate the desired aryl radical intermediate. Our findings will guide the development of other sustainable, purely electroreductive radical transformations of inert molecules using organic redox mediators.

Published: August 2023

AbstractNitrogen recovery from wastewater represents a sustainable route to recycle reactive nitrogen (Nr). It can reduce the demand of producing Nr from the energy‐extensive Haber‐Bosch process and lower the risk of causing eutrophication simultaneously. In this aspect, source‐separated fresh urine is an ideal source for nitrogen recovery given its ubiquity and high nitrogen contents. However, current techniques for nitrogen recovery from fresh urine require high energy input and are of low efficiencies because the recovery target, urea, is a challenge to separate. In this work, we developed a novel fresh urine nitrogen recovery treatment process based on modular functionalized metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Specifically, we employed three distinct modification methods to MOF‐808 and developed robust functional materials for urea hydrolysis, ammonium adsorption, and ammonia monitoring. By integrating these functional materials into our newly developed nitrogen recovery treatment process, we achieved an average of 75 % total nitrogen reduction and 45 % nitrogen recovery with a 30‐minute treatment of synthetic fresh urine. The nitrogen recovery process developed in this work can serve as a sustainable and efficient nutrient management that is suitable for decentralized wastewater treatment. This work also provides a new perspective of implementing versatile advanced materials for water and wastewater treatment.

Published: August 2023

AbstractA single‐session consultation model for low‐needs youth on the autism spectrum is presented with the mental health concern of emotional self‐regulation, a common issue in family psychotherapy. This research is contextualised within the growing field of short‐term therapy as it intersects the growing demand to therapeutically address clients on the autism spectrum. The treatment intervention is delineated through five sequential phases within the walk‐in clinic setting for the practitioner clinician. A rationale, overview, and instruction for the practitioner clinician utilising this novel model is provided through a case study format. By using a more structured and integrated approach to treatment, organised through an externalised metaphor, it is suggested that the current model will be more effective for this specific clinical population. Additionally, a case illustration is provided that scaffolds the treatment model, which includes table formats and pictures. The case study illustrates the self‐regulation map metaphor visually and interactively linking client challenges, strategies, and motivations simultaneously on multiple electronic devices in session. Relevant works were selected to explore the effectiveness of single‐session consultation models for those presenting on the autism spectrum. Treatment interventions for specific clinical populations are recommended, especially within walk‐in clinic therapy. This clinical research introduces a paradigm shift towards therapeutically addressing emotional self‐regulation with low‐needs youth on the spectrum through virtual, interactive technology.
Numerical study on the effect of mass flux on the low frequency pressure oscillation occurred in oxygen jet condensation

AbstractIn the delivery pipeline of cryogenic liquid rockets, low‐frequency pressure oscillation always occurs with the oxygen jet condensation. It is a potential hazard to the normal operation of the propulsion system. It is necessary to study the characteristic of low‐frequency pressure oscillation precisely, especially the influence factors of frequency and amplitude. Aiming at the effect of mass flux on low‐frequency pressure oscillation, an oxygen injection condensation simulation is carried out based on a modified mass transfer model. The height function method is adopted to calculate the interfacial curvature, which is the key factor to capture the characteristic of pressure oscillation. The numerical result indicates that there are two typical oxygen jet condensation patterns under different mass fluxes: suck‐back chugging and slight pulsation. The amplitude of suck‐back chugging is 30–120 kPa, while that of slight pulsation is 1–3 kPa. When it comes to suck‐back chugging, the liquid oxygen suck‐back flow phenomenon occurs. The upper and lower boundaries are found to distinguish the suck‐back chugging and slight pulsation patterns, which are caused by the turbulent effect of liquid oxygen and the subcooling of liquid oxygen, respectively. The highest amplitude of pressure oscillation is about 114 kPa, appearing at the intersection of the upper and lower boundary. It is the most dangerous operation condition, which should be avoided in the design of the propulsion system. These conclusions provide sufficient theoretical guidance for the design of the cryogenic liquid rocket.

Published: August 2023

AbstractNanofibrillated celluloses (NFC) have attracted tremendous attention as nanofillers to improve the mechanical properties of waterborne resin. In this study, NFC was prepared by mechanical fibrillation, and then modified respectively with three different types of silane coupling agents: γ‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH550), γ‐(2, 3‐epoxypropoxy) propyl trimethoxysilane (KH560), and γ‐(methacryloyloxy) propyl trimethoxysilane (KH570). The obtained NFC and modified NFCs were physically mixed with water‐based acrylic resin (WAR) to prepare films by casting method. The NFC, silanized NFC, and films were analyzed by Malvern laser particle sizer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), water contact angle (WCA), rotational rheometer, and power stretchers, respectively. Results showed that NFCs were successfully prepared and modified. The KH570 modified NFC had a slightly smaller particle size, higher absolute Zeta potential and yield stress values, good thermal stability, and exhibited better dispersion and suspension stability in solution. However, the NFC modified by KH560 had the best improvement effect on the mechanical properties and hydrophobicity of WAR membranes. Adding only 0.3 wt% KH560 modified NFC could increase the tensile strength of WAR film by 131.9%, and the WCA of the film could be increased from 85.2° to 101.6°, which makes this study beneficial for promoting the application of nanofibrillated cellulose in WAR.

Abstract

Migratory fishes exert important influences on tropical river food webs, but these species are often most vulnerable to environmental change. Movement patterns of fishes in tropical rivers are also generally poorly understood, hindering conservation efforts.
Common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, depend on connected coastal habitats for reproduction and growth and can migrate extensively up rivers when not hindered by barriers to movement. In southern Mexico, they are frequently captured 300 river km or more upstream from the delta of the Usumacinta River. The Usumacinta is a large river system with no mainstem dams, providing an expansive network of connected river, stream and wetland habitats which form a much larger migratory domain that exists in many other systems where common snook have been studied.
To assess whether fish captured in different zones were associated with different natal habitats or distinct migratory patterns, variation in common snook otolith chemical signatures was examined in the Usumacinta River from the Gulf of Mexico coast to as far as 600 river km upriver.
Otolith microchemistry was useful for characterizing migratory histories of individuals, but there was no clear evidence that fish captured in different river zones used different types of natal habitats. Based on lifetime Sr:Ca in otoliths, a diverse array of movement patterns was evident in the Usumacinta system, with 97% of common snook showing evidence of freshwater habitat use.
Prevalent use of riverine habitats by common snook far from the coast reinforces the need to preserve connectivity in the Usumacinta River and other undammed systems supporting migratory species. The natural flow regime and lack of barriers allow for longitudinal and lateral connectivity in this system, providing pathways for migratory species to move extensively and have access to an array of habitats, including productive floodplain lagoons.

AbstractMany aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) molecules based on tetraphenylethylene (TPE) structure have been synthesized, but a clear understanding of the photophysical difference between different isomeric pyridyl‐based tetraphenylethylene molecules remains elusive. Herein, we designed a series of isomeric tetraphenylethylene‐pyridines (o‐Py‐TPE, m‐Py‐TPE, p‐Py‐TPE) to investigate the influence of the position of N atoms in the pyridine subunit on the photophysical property of the whole molecule by detailed DFT calculations and single‐crystal structures analysis. All compounds show typical AIE properties, and notably, the meta pyridyl isomer (m‐Py‐TPE) shows the highest solid photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) up to 64.56 %. Further investigation and DFT calculations indicate that the center C=C bond dihedral angles of the TPE subunit in the solid state of these compounds, which are affected by C−H⋅⋅⋅π interaction, play a vital role in their emission and PLQY properties. This work provides underlying principles for the design of pyridyl‐based TPE molecules with high photoluminescent performance in the future.
