Pressure prediction of phase stability, anisotropic elasticity, and thermodynamic properties of Ti2AC (A = Cd, In) ternary compound
Authors: Wei Sikang , Xu Yang , Han Zhaohui , Xu Lei 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this study, the effects of high pressure on phase stability, anisotropic elasticity, and thermodynamic properties of Ti2AC (A = Cd, In) were predicted by using first‐principles based on density functional theory. The negative formation enthalpy indicates that Ti2AC (A = Cd, In) is thermodynamically stable at pressures of 0–50 GPa. The elastic constants and polycrystalline moduli of Ti2AC (A = Cd, In) increase with increasing pressure, while its elastic anisotropies decrease with increasing pressure. The density of states demonstrates that no phase transition occurs in the pressure range 0–50 GPa. In addition, the influences of high pressure (up to 50 GPa) and temperature (up to 2000 K) on the thermodynamic properties of Ti2AC (A = Cd, In) were systematically studied based on the quasi‐harmonic Debye model. Finally, the sound velocities and minimum thermal conductivities are also discussed.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundWe lack data regarding the economic cost of robot‐assisted surgical procedures in urology. We aimed to assess the medico‐economic impact of onco‐urological robot‐assisted surgery.MethodsAll patients who underwent robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) or robot‐assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) in 2019 were included. Cost assessment included the costs of surgery, hospital stay, and complications. Global cost was calculated and compared with open and laparoscopic procedures.ResultsOverall, 126 (48%) RAPN and 135 (52%) RARP were included. Total cost per patient was 6857€ for RARP and 6034€ for RAPN. Costs of surgery, hospital stay, and complications represented 76.2%, 21.5%, and 2.3%, respectively, of the total cost per patient for RAPN, and 74.1%, 25.9%, and 0% for RARP. Compared to the open approach, RAPN was 6% cheaper and RARP was 10% more expensive per patient. Standard laparoscopic procedures were cheaper.ConclusionsRobotic procedures were associated with increased costs of surgical procedures, but with reduction in morbidity and hospital stay costs.

AbstractHalide perovskites with various compositions are potential candidates in low‐dosage X‐ray detection due to their large sensitivity and tunable optoelectronic properties. Here, cations engineering induced dimensional evolution of halide perovskites between 0D, 2D, and 3D is reported. Centimeter‐sized 2D lead‐free perovskite single‐crystal of 4‐fluorophenethylammonium antimony iodide (FPEA3SbI6) is synthesized. In contrast to the 0D phenethylammonium antimony iodide (PEA3Sb2I9), face‐shared [Sb2I9]3– of the bi‐octahedral structure of PEA3Sb2I9 is split into corner‐shared [SbI6]3– by intermolecular interactions and steric hindrance of FPEA+ ions in 2D FPEA3SbI6. Two Sb3+ ions share three octahedral [SbI6]3–, leaving one‐third of Sb3+ vacancies in the framework of FPEA3SbI6. Furthermore, Sn2+ ions can be filled into the vacancies to form continuous 2D frameworks to tune the anisotropic conductivity and device sensitivity to hard X‐rays. The dimensional evolution of perovskite single‐crystals from 3D to 2D or 0D to 2D maximizes the signal/noise ratio to facilize the adjustability of detection limit in hard X‐ray detection, which is determined by both device sensitivity and device noise current. A record low detection limit coefficient of 0.65 is achieved in the 2D FPEA3SbSn0.5I7 single‐crystal sample, which results from selective charges collection over mobile ions/noise current in the 2D perovskite structure.
Kainate receptors GluK1 and GluK2 differentially regulate synapse morphology

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe regulation of dendritic spine morphology is a critical aspect of neuronal network refinement during development and modulation of neurotransmission. Previous studies revealed that glutamatergic transmission plays a central role in synapse development. AMPA receptors and NMDA receptors regulate spine morphology in an activity dependent manner. However, whether and how Kainate receptors (KARs) regulate synapse development remains poorly understood. In this study, we found that GluK1 and GluK2 may play distinct roles in synapse development. In primary cultured hippocampal neurons, we found overexpression of the calcium‐permeable GluK2(Q) receptor variant increased spine length and spine head area compared to overexpression of the calcium‐impermeable GluK2(R) variant or EGFP transfected, control neurons, indicating that Q/R editing may play a role in GluK2 regulation of synapse development. Intriguingly, neurons transfected with GluK1(Q) showed decreased spine length and spine head area, while the density of dendritic spines was increased, suggesting that GluK1(Q) and GluK2(Q) have different effects on synaptic development. Swapping the critical domains between GluK2 and GluK1 demonstrated the N‐terminal domain (NTD) is responsible for the different effects of GluK1 and GluK2. In conclusion, Kainate receptors GluK1 and GluK2 have distinct roles in regulating spine morphology and development, a process likely relying on the NTD.
Shaking table test and seismic behavior of Ningbo Hengda Tower
Authors: Zhao Bin , Lin Yinjia , Li Xin , Zhou Ying 
Published: September 2022

SummaryA super tall building named Ningbo Hengda Tower is located in Ningbo City, China. It has 91 stories with a total height of 450 m. The structure system of the building consists of three parts, that is, the reinforced concrete core, the outer frame system, and the outrigger trusses connecting the core wall and outer frame. The unique outer frame system is spindle shaped with oblique columns. The outrigger trusses are located at three different levels above the ground, thus strengthening the building and creating irregularities in the stiffness of the structure along the building height. Great challenges are existed in seismic design and analysis of the building. Shaking table test was carried out for a 1/40 scaled model of the building under a series of different base excitations with increasing amplitudes. The dynamic properties, seismic responses, and failure mechanism of the structure are investigated. Test results show that the structure behaved well under designed level earthquakes. The weak points of the structure are identified based on visible damage of the tested model, and some suggestions are made for the improvement of the seismic behavior of the building. It is suggested that measures be taken to improve the ductility of the building from floor 71 to floor 79 and the adjacent floors.

Published: September 2022

AbstractIn the present paper, the analytical modeling of graphene/polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) nanocomposite under hygrothermomechanical loading is performed. The 2D analytical method consists of the use of the stress‐function variational method, which was validated with experimental data in our previous paper. Studying the hygrothermomechanical behavior of graphene/PMMA nanocomposites with possible interface delamination along the overlap zone of the structure considered, the parametric analysis is done as well. Three cases of loading – mechanical, thermal (heating/cooling), and mixed (hygrothermomechanical) are considered and compared with mechanical one. All results for the behavior of the axial, peel and shear stresses for all three layers of the structure are illustrated in figures and discussed. Some important conclusions are derived.

Food (In)Security: The Role of Novel Foods on Sustainability
Authors: Sforza Stefano 
Published: September 2022

AbstractFood production today impacts heavily on the environment and available resources while at the same time failing to provide equal access to food security and healthy diets for everyone. To improve this situation, food production systems need to be redesigned in a more circular way, minimising food waste, developing new technologies, and exploiting novel biomasses for food production. Novel Foods are the consequence of this evolution and can play a pivotal role towards the target of providing sustainably produced, secure, and healthy food for everyone.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Background
In preterm infants, spinal anesthesia (SpA) is recognized as an alternative to general anesthesia for inguinal hernia repair (IHR); however, some patients require supplemental anesthesia during surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and impact of supplemental anesthesia on perioperative care and adverse respiratory and hemodynamic events.

Methods
A retrospective study of preterm infants undergoing IHR at Heidelberg University Hospital within the first year of life between 2009 and 2018 was carried out.

Results
In total, 230 patients (255 surgeries) were investigated. Among 189 procedures completed using SpA 24 patients received supplemental anesthesia. Reasons for supplemental anesthesia included loss of anesthetic effect, returning motor response, and respiratory complications. Compared to SpA alone, no differences were found concerning hemodynamic parameters; however, patients requiring supplemental anesthesia displayed higher rates of postoperative oxygen supplementation and unexpected admission to the intensive care unit. The rate of perioperative apnea was 2.7%. Apneic events exclusively occurred after supplemental anesthesia. Bilateral IHR and duration of surgery were associated with the need for supplemental anesthesia.

Conclusion
Whereas SpA might be favorable when compared to general anesthesia for IHR, the data indicate that particular caution is required in patients receiving supplemental anesthesia due to the possible risk for adverse respiratory events.
Foundations of consumption and production in the sharing economy
Authors: Tham Wan Kei , Lim Weng Marc , Vieceli Julian 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe sharing economy is established as a new economy in the digital era. Many reviews on the sharing economy avail, but none, to date, has shed enough light to illuminate understanding pertaining to the similar and dissimilar characteristics of consumers and producers in the sharing economy. To address this gap, this paper aims to provide a one-stop, state-of-the-art overview of existing research on the sharing economy through the lens of consumers and producers. To do so, this paper conducts a systematic review of 148 articles on the sharing economy identified through the snowballing technique and organized using the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) and theories, contexts, and methods (TCM) frameworks. In doing so, this paper unpacks the trust, personal, economic, social, entrepreneurial, environmental, legal, and technological factors that impact on behavioural performance, loyalty, and impact factors among consumers and producers in the sharing economy. Finally, this paper also reveals the theories, contexts, and methods that avail for sharing economy research, as well as the potentially fruitful directions for future research.
Virus-induced gene silencing shows that LATE FLOWERING plays a role in promoting flower development in soybean

Published: September 2022

AbstractVirus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a useful tool to investigate the role of genes particularly in hard-to-transform plant species via the Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation process. Soybean is one of the most important crops for the food and protein source, but its low transformation efficiency makes it hard to identify the functions of genes of interest. Here, we adopted tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV)-based VIGS systems and examined the role of a LATE FLOWERING (GmLATE) gene in soybean. Because TRSV induces symptoms affecting leaf senescence and development, we screened soybean genotypes and selected a genotype, named Aram, which shows resistance to TRSV symptoms while is susceptible to TRSV-induced gene silencing. The TRSV-based silencing of GmLATE in soybean showed suppressed flower development with decreased expression of genes related to flowering. These results suggest that GmLATE plays a role in promoting flower development in soybean, which is different from its role as a floral repressor in Arabidopsis. Our results show the novel function of GmLATE and demonstrate that TRSV-based VIGS system can be used as a tool to study genes involved in flowering in soybean.
A Delayed-Choice Quantum Eraser with Photon-Counting MKIDs (Experimental Design)
Authors: Bracken C. P. , McAleer C. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAn extension to the delayed-choice quantum eraser (DCQE) photonic experiment is described in this paper. It is proposed to employ an array of superconducting detectors on the measurement plane, and use their high sensitivity, low-noise, and fast response time to provide significantly better control of the system in a real-time, photon-counting format. We present an experimental design that would allow a pulse-triggered feedback loop to be added to be system, in an attempt to test an apparent information paradox. We show how new light might be shed on the interpretations and conclusions made from the somewhat puzzling results of the DCQE. While we focus on using an array of microwave kinetic induction detectors for this experiment, other, potentially better-suited superconducting devices are also considered.
The Kostin Equation, the Deceleration of a Quantum Particle and Coherent Control

AbstractFifty years ago Kostin (J Chem Phys 57(9):3589–3591, 1972. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.1678812) proposed a description of damping in quantum mechanics based on a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the potential being governed by the phase of the wave function. We show for the example of a moving Gaussian wave packet, that the deceleration predicted by this equation is the result of the same non-dissipative, homogeneous but time-dependent force, that also stops a classical particle. Moreover, we demonstrate that the Kostin equation is a special case of the linear Schrödinger equation with three potentials: (i) a linear potential corresponding to this stopping force, (ii) an appropriately time-dependent parabolic potential governed by a specific time dependence of the width of the Gaussian wave packet and (iii) a specific time-dependent off-set. The freedom of the width opens up the possibility of engineering the final state by the time dependence of the quadratic potential. In this way the Kostin equation is a precursor of the modern field of coherent control. Motivated by these insights, we analyze in position and in phase space the deceleration of a Gaussian wave packet due to potentials in the linear Schrödinger equation similar to those in the Kostin equation.

Published: September 2022

AbstractWe present the design and simulation methodology of a superconducting ridge-gap waveguide (RGWG) as a potential basis for mm-wave kinetic inductance travelling wave parametric amplifiers (KI-TWPAs). A superconducting RGWG was designed using Ansys HFSS to support a quasi-TEM mode of transmission over a bandwidth of 20–120 GHz with its internal dimensions optimised for integration with W-band rectangular waveguide. A design of an impedance loaded travelling wave structure incorporating periodic perturbations of the ridge was described. A method to simulate the nonlinear kinetic inductance via user-defined components in Keysight’s ADS was outlined, which yielded the power dependent S-parameters and parametric signal gain.

Sequential sampling of junction trees for decomposable graphs
Authors: Olsson Jimmy , Pavlenko Tatjana , Rios Felix L. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThejunction-treerepresentation provides an attractive structural property for organising adecomposable graph. In this study, we present two novel stochastic algorithms, referred to as thejunction-tree expanderandjunction-tree collapser, for sequential sampling of junction trees for decomposable graphs. We show that recursive application of the junction-tree expander, which expands incrementally the underlying graph with one vertex at a time, has full support on the space of junction trees for any given number of underlying vertices. On the other hand, the junction-tree collapser provides a complementary operation for removing vertices in the underlying decomposable graph of a junction tree, while maintaining the junction tree property. A direct application of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated in the setting of sequential Monte Carlo methods, designed for sampling from distributions on spaces of decomposable graphs. Numerical studies illustrate the utility of the proposed algorithms for combinatorial computations on decomposable graphs and junction trees. All the methods proposed in the paper are implemented in the Python librarytrilearn.
Exploration of the link between gut microbiota and purinergic signalling

Published: September 2022

AbstractGrowing evidence reveals that microorganisms in the gut are linked to metabolic health and disease risk in human beings to a considerable extent. The focus of research at this stage must tend to focus on cause-and-effect studies. In addition to being a component of DNA and RNA, purine metabolites can be involved in purine signalling in the body as chemical messengers. Abnormalities in purinergic signalling may lead to neuropathy, rheumatic immune diseases, inflammation, tumors, and a wide range of other diseases. It has proved that gut microbes are involved in purinergic signalling. The relationship between these gut-derived purinergic signalling molecules and host metabolism may be one of the important clues to our understanding of the mechanisms by which the microbiota affects host metabolism.
