AbstractVibration sensors are involved extensively in a variety of applications. Especially in the era of the Internet of Things, developing self‐powered vibration sensors has become a very meaningful yet challenging problem. This study investigates a highly sensitive self‐powered vibration sensor based on the triboelectric nanogenerator (VS‐TENG) for machinery condition monitoring. By introducing a stacked structure comprising foamed aluminum, and a fluorinated ethylene propylene film with gold‐plated electrode protected by two indium tin oxid layers, The VS‐TENG can detect the vibrations with frequencies ranging from 1 to 2000 Hz and can detect vibrations of low amplitude (approximately sub‐µm, by calculation). The output performance and characteristics of the TENG under various vibration frequencies, accelerations, and amplitudes are analyzed systematically. The VS‐TENG is successfully used to monitor the operating conditions of mechanical gear systems, reaching a recognition accuracy of 99.78%. Furthermore, it can also be utilized for vibration detection in other areas such as the air compressor, heat gun, hollow tile recognition, etc., which means a solid progress toward the practical applications of TENGs in self‐powered vibration detection.

Published: August 2022

AbstractLithium‐sulfur batteries hold great potential for next‐generation energy storage systems, due to their high theoretical energy density and the natural abundance of sulfur. Although much progress has been achieved recently, the low actual energy density of LiS batteries is still the key challenge in implementing their practical applications. Because the energy density greatly depends on the areal capacity of their sulfur cathodes, the sulfur content and sulfur loading play an important role in meeting the conditions necessary for practical applications. Therefore, escalating the areal capacity of sulfur cathodes is essential to promote LiS technology from laboratory‐scale devices to industrial (or commercial) systems. In this review, the recent progress in high sulfur loading of LiS batteries (>4 mg cm−2) is highlighted from various aspects, including sulfur hosts, binders, separators, and interlayers. In particular, sulfur hosts derived from carbon, polymer, transition metal oxide/ sulfide, metal‐organic framework, and other novel materials, which can promote high sulfur loading, are discussed in detail. Moreover, unique free‐standing structures and configurational innovation of separators and interlayers are overviewed. Based on the current achievements, future efforts for developing high‐loading LiS batteries are proposed to pave the way for their commercial applications.

Authors: Singleton Perry 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study examines the effect of Social Security benefits on food security at the early entitlement age (EEA). The data come from the supplements of the Current Population Survey, years 2001 to 2017. The results show that Social Security benefits decreased food insecurity near the EEA, particularly during and after the Great Recession. Specifically, the rate of very low food secure decreased discontinuously at the EEA by approximately 0.94 percentage points, a 6.6% drop from a rate of 15.1% at age 61. The results are especially large and robust for widowed householders.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the price effects of honey quality attributes in Spain. Price and product characteristics are collected from 264 honey labels found on the shelves of the main representative retail stores available in the national territory. The marginal effects and the implicit prices of honey characteristics are assessed through a hedonic price approach. Results show that the prices of honey are affected by leader brands sold in gourmet stores and hypermarkets in glass packages compared to producer brands sold in discounts stores and supermarkets in plastic packages. The organic production and the protected designation of origin quality labels generate positive marginal effects on the prices of honey, as well. Regarding the origin of honey, the highest relative and absolute consumer price premiums are received for honey coming from the European Union and Spain compared with blend honey coming from EU and non‐EU countries. Consumer implicit prices are also influenced by mono‐floral and gourmet honey with additional properties (e.g., ginseng) compared with the multifloral varieties. These findings are a useful source for a better understanding of the evolution of honey in the Spanish market. Spanish beekeepers who can differentiate their honey, may use these results as an orientation for their business strategies.

AbstractAutosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) refers to a large and genetically heterogenous group of non‐syndromic disorders of cornification featuring diffuse scaling. Ichthyosis, leukocyte vacuoles, alopecia, and sclerosing cholangitis (ILVASC) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndromic form of ichthyosis. The disease usually results from premature termination codon‐causing pathogenic variants in CLDN1 encoding CLAUDIN‐1 (CLDN1). We used whole exome sequencing (WES), Sanger sequencing, 3D protein modeling, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy to delineate the genetic basis of ichthyosis in two siblings with ichthyosis but no other ectodermal abnormalities. One of the two siblings underwent liver transplantation in early childhood due to biliary atresia. Both patients were found to carry a homozygous missense pathogenic variant, c.242G>A (p.Arg81His), in CLDN1. The variant resulted in decreased CLDN1 expression in patient skin. 3D protein modeling predicted that p.Arg81His induces deleterious conformational changes. Accordingly, HaCaT cells transfected with a construct expressing the mutant CLDN1 cDNA featured decreased levels and mislocation of CLDN1 as compared with cells expressing the wildtype cDNA. In conclusion, we describe the first pathogenic missense variant in CLDN1 shown to result in ARCI.

AbstractIntroductionDifferences in brain network connectivity may reflect the capability of the neurological substrate to compensate for brain damage and preserve cognitive function (cognitive reserve). We examined the associations between white matter connectivity, brain damage markers, and cognition in a population sample of middle‐aged individuals.MethodsA total of 4759 participants from The Maastricht Study (mean age = 59.2, SD = 8.7, 50.2% male) underwent cognitive testing and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), from which brain volume, structural connectivity, and vascular damage were quantified. Multivariable linear regression was used to investigate whether connectivity modified the association between brain damage and cognition, adjusted for demographic and cardiometabolic risk factors.ResultsMore atrophic and vascular brain damage was associated with worse cognition scores. Increasing connectivity moderated the negative association between damage and cognition (χ2 = 8.64, df = 3, p ≤ 0.001); individuals with high damage but strong connectivity showed normal cognition.DiscussionFindings support the reserve hypothesis by showing that brain connectivity is associated with cognitive resilience.
Energy and Matter Supply for Active Droplets
Authors: Bauermann Jonathan , Weber Christoph A. , Jülicher Frank 
Published: August 2022

AbstractChemically active droplets provide simple models for cell‐like systems that can grow and divide. Such active droplet systems are driven away from thermodynamic equilibrium and turn over chemically, which corresponds to a simple metabolism. Two scenarios of nonequilibrium driving are considered. First, droplets are driven via the system boundaries by external reservoirs that supply nutrient and remove waste (boundary‐driven). Second, droplets are driven by a chemical energy provided by a fuel in the bulk (bulk‐driven). For both scenarios, the conservation of energy and matter as well as the balance of entropy are discussed. Conserved and nonconserved fields are used to analyse the nonequilibrium steady states of active droplets. Using an effective droplet model, droplet stability and instabilities leading to droplet division are explored. This work reveals that droplet division occurs quite generally in active droplet systems. The results suggest that life‐like processes such as metabolism and division can emerge in simple nonequilibrium systems that combine the physics of phase separation and chemical reactions.

Published: August 2022

AbstractGenerally, most of the photonic spin Hall effect (SHE) are investigated based on the Gaussian beam, and the research of the photonic SHE in novel beams with non‐Gaussian distribution is relatively rare. The Airy beam is one of the novel beams whose initial field distribution is asymmetric and tunable. Thus, it is necessary to explore the photonic SHE in the Airy beam. Here analytical solutions for the transverse and in‐plane shifts of the Airy beam are derived, and the peculiar photonic SHE of the Airy beam is systematically researched. The theoretical research results show that the transverse shifts of the left‐ and right‐handed circularly polarized beams are asymmetric, and the in‐plane shifts of the left‐ and right‐handed circularly beams are identical. More importantly, the variation rules of the transverse and in‐plane shifts with the incident centroid position are obtained, and the incident centroid position is regulated by the decay factor of the Airy beam. That is, the spin‐dependent transverse and in‐plane shift can be manipulated flexibly and purposefully by adjusting the beam parameter. It is believed these findings will provide more ideas for exploring the application of the photonic SHE based on novel beams.
Towards Hexagonal Planar Nickel: A Dispersion‐Stabilised Tri‐Lithium Nickelate

Published: August 2022

AbstractAdvancing the understanding of lithum nickelate complexes, here we report a family of homoleptic organonickelate complexes obtained by reacting Ni(COD)2and lithium aryl‐acetylides in the presence of the bidentate donor TMEDA. These compounds represent rare examples of low‐valent transition‐metals supported solely by organolithium ligands. Whilst the solid‐state structures indicate a hexagonal planar geometry around Ni0with Ni−Li bonds, bonding analysis via QTAIM, NCI, NBO and ELI methods reveals that the Ni−Li interactions are repulsive in nature, characterising these complexes as tri‐coordinated. London dispersion forces between TMEDA and the organic substituents on nickel are found to play a crucial role in the stabilisation and thus isolation of these complexes. Preliminary reactivity studies demonstrate that the homoleptic lithium nickelates undergo stoichiometric cross‐coupling with PhI to give dinickel clusters containing both anionic acetylide and neutral alkyne ligands.

Published: August 2022

AbstractRice bran oil (RBO) has been a popular choice of cooking oil in several Asian countries for decades, and the interest in RBO is fast growing in Western countries due to the high levels of hearty unsaturated fats and other components beneficial to health. Further knowledge of unsaturated fatty acid content and composition in rice lines will assist in improving the quality of rice bran processing by allowing robust extraction of rice bran for oil production. The studies focused on the RBO composition of rice lines with beneficial genotypes are scarce. Accordingly, we investigated the total bran lipid content and composition of three of the most abundant, healthy, unsaturated fatty acids that freely exist in RBO: oleic, linoleic, and α‐linolenic acids in nine parental lines (two male sterile lines and seven male lines) and seven hybrid rice lines, by utilizing an efficacious organic extraction to collect RBO and by developing a user‐friendly reverse‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methodology. Our results showed that the hybrid lines had the highest oil content (Fratio = 7.2017,pvalue = 0.0019), while the male lines had the highest levels of two of the three free unsaturated fatty acids analyzed (linoleic acid, x¯ = 212.801 mg and oleic acid, x¯ = 48.132 mg). Oil weight was negatively correlated with α‐linolenic acid (r = −0.6535,pvalue <0.0001). All three free unsaturated fatty acids were positively correlated. Our samples' natural variation in lipid content suggests that some rice lines are more suitable for oil production.
Combining geophysical prospection and core drilling: Reconstruction of a Late Bronze Age copper mine at Prigglitz‐Gasteil in the Eastern Alps (Austria)

Published: August 2022

AbstractPrehistoric mines are often too large and too deep for conventional archaeological excavations. Non‐destructive and minimally invasive methods of prospection can help to overcome these limits. Our case study of a Late Bronze Age opencast mine (ca. 1050 to 780 BC) shows the potential of geophysical prospection methods combined with core drillings. For the reconstruction of this mine, we combined electrical resistivity and induced polarization (IP) tomography, seismic refraction tomography (SRT) and ground penetrating radar (GPR). The geophysical data were collected based on an orthogonal grid of 10 longitudinal and transverse profiles, laid out over an area of ~330 × 300 m. The profiles allowed a three‐dimensional interpolation of the geological units, the mining dumps, the mining areas and the residual mineralization. Additionally, two deep cores were drilled to ground‐truth the geophysical prospection results. They provided information about the stratification at intersections of the measurement grid, and this proved crucial for validating the interpreted geophysical profiles. Each geophysical method applied provided different information for the reconstruction of the site: the electrical resistivity tomography offered the best clues as to the locations of the geological units and the dumps, the seismic refraction tomography visualized the transition between the dump or backfill layers and the underlying bedrock, and the IP measurements revealed residual mineralization. The georadar measurements, on the other hand, did not contribute to the interpretation owing to the limited depth of penetration. Based on the combination of borehole and geophysical data, it was possible to develop a hypothetical model of an open‐pit mine for copper ore that developed in three phases (mines A–C) during the Late Bronze Age. Without the control provided by the core drillings, one of the mining areas (mine A) could not have been correctly identified in the geophysical prospections.

Published: August 2022

AbstractThe robust leader‐following consensus of heterogeneous multiagent systems under switching communication topologies is investigated in this paper. Especially, the input delay is considered in each follower. In order to access the information of leader through time‐varying communication, a type of distributed dynamic compensator is proposed for every follower firstly, which get rid of the dependence on the global spectrum information and is proved that it can be viewed as a asymptotic observer of the leader. Then combined with the internal model principle, two types of distributed control law are proposed based on the compensator. By applying the truncated predictor feedback scheme to synthesize the closed‐loop systems, it is proved that the consensus can be achieved by both of the control laws despite the existence of the input delay and the plant parameters perturbations. Finally, numerical simulations are illustrated to demonstrate the results.
Leader‐following consensus control of second‐order nonlinear multi‐agent systems with applications to slew rate control
Authors: Wang Chuanrui , Zhang Lei , Cao Feng 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper addresses the distributed leader‐following consensus control of second‐order strict‐feedback nonlinear multi‐agent systems. By employing mean value theorem, variable separation technique, and backstepping methodology, a fully distributed adaptive control law is designed using only local relative state information. The proposed control law solves the leader‐following consensus problem for any directed communication graph that contains a spanning tree with the root node being the leader agent. The application to hovercraft slew rate control system is given to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical results.
Perspectives of biomass based lignin to value added chemicals in biorefineries: challenges, extraction strategies and applications
Authors: Tyagi Uplabdhi , Sarma Anil Kumar 
Published: August 2022

AbstractLignin transformation has significant potential to produce high‐quality platform chemicals and value‐added products. Extraction techniques and techniques for processing lignin to lignin‐derived dimers and trimers and other phenolic compounds have recently attracted the attention of the scientific community. Exploring the potential of the most abundant sources of bio‐aromatics enhances the profitability and efficiency of the biorefinery process and reduces dependence on conventional resources. Successful lignin transformation entails the development of steps to overcome the following challenges: (i) the pretreatment of biomass followed by the separation of lignin to reduce crystallinity, and the reduction of the complex chemistry of biomass to produce lignin with a high degree of purity, and (ii) advances in chemical analysis for precise in situ lignin characterization during depolymerization. To bring about technological advances in the bio‐based economy, the utilization of sustainable resources for the production of value‐added products is essential. The valorization of lignin via cost‐effective and carbon‐neutral techniques has provided remarkable opportunities, including opportunities for commercialization. The life cycle analysis of lignin valorization to manufacture value‐added products from surplus biomass is central if maximum use is to be made of agro‐residues for such purposes. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Authors: Kim Junho , Kang Jinhyeon , Jung In Hwan 
Published: August 2022

AbstractNovel copper(II) 4,4′,4″,4‴‐tetra(hexylthienyl)phthalocyanine (CuPc‐HT) was synthesized via Stille coupling reaction between 2‐trimethylstannyl‐5‐hexylthiophene and tetra‐brominated copper(II) phthalocyanine (CuPc). The incorporation of hexylthiophene to CuPc increased organic solubility, Q‐band absorption and p‐type characteristics. The bulk heterojunction organic photodetectors (OPDs) were developed by blending CuPc‐HT with n‐type [6,6]‐phenyl‐C71‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM). CuPc‐HT:PC71BM‐based devices showed the strong green light detection in the range of 400–600 nm. The measured specific detectivity (D*) was 3.1 × 1011 Jones under 530 nm light‐emitting diode (LED) light of 0.1 mW/cm2 at −2 V, which was approximately three times higher than those under 680 nm red LED irradiation. Dynamic characteristics of OPDs were investigated, and the −3 cut‐off frequency of CuPc‐HT:PC71BM devices was extremely high as 0.1 MHz. Notably, the signal response time at −1.0 V was ultrafast to be 9 μs. Even though CuPc‐HT:PC71BM devices showed insufficient static properties, their dynamic characteristics were comparable with those of state‐of‐the‐art OPDs.

AbstractA sensitive and simple sample pretreatment method based on a two‐phase solvent bar microextraction (SBME) technique coupled with HPLC–diode array detector (DAD) was developed for simultaneous extraction and determination of trace amounts of furosemide and carbamazepine in human urine and plasma samples. The significance of operational factors on carbamazepine and furosemide extraction efficiency % (EE%) was screened using full factorial design (FFD) while central composite design (CCD) was used to model the entire process. A quadratic model was found convenient to correlate the extraction EE% of selected drugs with dominant experimental factors. A Pareto chart was also used to examine the importance of factors on drugs’ EE%. The analytical performance of the method in urine and plasma samples demonstrated good linearity (R2 ˃ 0.992) with detection limits ranging from 4.2 to 10.9 μg L−1, and extraction recovery over 89.45% for both drugs in urine and plasma samples. A comparison against published methods was also performed and the results revealed that the developed method exhibits a confident sensitivity, feasible operation, and simple analysis for both drugs. Finally, the practicability of the validated SBME–HPLC–DAD method was demonstrated by successfully applying it to the analysis of furosemide and carbamazepine in real patient urine samples.
