The Politics of Sources Meets the Practices of the Librarian: An Interview with Esther Chen**
Authors: Chen Esther , Keuck Lara , Nickelsen Kärin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract[I] want to single out one phenomenon that could be called the ‘politics of sources’. It points to the extent to which the histories that both scientists and historians can write are artifacts of the available sources. The Rockefeller Foundation not only opened its archives very early on for historical work but also invested a lot in making the archives readily available for historical exploration. During the 1980s, many young historians took advantage of this opportunity. Thus, in a relatively early phase of the professional historiography of molecular biology, one could have gained the impression that the development of the new biology as a whole was a bio‐politically directed enterprise of the Rockefeller Foundation sustained by the vision that social processes could ultimately be controlled by biological processes.

AbstractThe clinical applications of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) conversion therapy combined with hepatectomy have been severely restricted by ill‐defined tumoral boundaries and miniscule hidden lesions. Fluorescent surgical navigation is a promising method for overcoming these barriers. However, sufficient delivery of the fluorescent probe into the tumor region after long‐term TAE is challenging due to blockade of the tumor‐supplying artery. Here, a super‐stable homogeneous intermix formulating technology (SHIFT) to physically mix lipiodol and indocyanine green (ICG) formulation (SHIFT and ICG) for fluorescent surgical navigation after long‐term TAE conversion therapy is provided. Through the retrospective study of 45 clinical liver cancer patients, it is found that SHIFT and ICG formulation have excellent tumor deposition effect and safety. During surgical resection after long‐term TAE conversion therapy, SHIFT and ICG could clearly identify in real time the full tumor regions and boundaries and had a high signal‐to‐normal tissues ratio—even the indistinguishable satellite lesions could be identified with a strong fluorescence intensity. Meanwhile, SHIFT and ICG could improve operative, anesthetic, and postoperative variables associated with postoperative complications. This simple and effective SHIFT could provide precise fluorescent navigation for surgical resection following long‐term embolization therapy in clinical practice and has great potential for a translational pipeline.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveNitrogen fertilizer applied as top‐dressing to rice plants before flowering affects the yield and quality of rice grains. However, little is known about the effects of varying dosages of nitrogen at this stage on the brewing properties of sake using the rice grains. To explore this topic, we cultivated the sake rice cultivar “Koshitanrei” with low and high levels of nitrogen (equivalent to 10 kg and 30 kg N per hectare, respectively) applied 1 week before flowering and then conducted a small‐scale sake brewing test using the harvested rice.FindingsSake made from rice from the low‐N treatment was fermented more efficiently. This yielded a higher volume of sake with a higher alcohol concentration and decreased amino acid concentrations.ConclusionsThe use of rice from the low‐N treatment enhanced alcohol fermentation, resulting in increased alcohol yield and decreased concentrations of amino acids and related compounds.Significance and NoveltyThe amount of nitrogen applied to rice plants before flowering affects the fermentation properties of rice grains in sake brewing, and this can alter the quality and sensory properties of sake even though the nitrogen content of rice grains is unaffected.

Published: September 2022

AbstractCavitation‐induced wear, also known as cavitation erosion, can be found in many fluid power components, especially in water hydraulics. Cavitation erosion leads to component damage and might even cause system failure. The resistance of various materials to cavitation erosion when using conventional manufacturing processes has already been investigated in the past. In this work, the effects of additively manufactured materials on the resistance to cavitation erosion are investigated and compared to effects after conventional manufacturing. Also, the influence of the build‐up direction of the additively manufactured specimens on cavitation erosion is determined. As the main indicators of cavitation erosion, mass loss and the surface structure are determined for all specimens.
CH‐π Multi‐Interaction‐Driven Recognition and Isolation of Planar Compounds in a Spheroidal Polyaromatic Cavity
Authors: Kishida Natsuki , Tanaka Yuya , Yoshizawa Michito 
Published: September 2022

Abstractπ‐π Interactions are established as a powerful supramolecular tool, whereas the usability of CH‐π interactions has been rather limited so far. Here we present (i) selective binding of planar polyaromatics and (ii) effective isolation of planar metal complexes by a polyaromatic capsule, utilizing multiple CH‐π interactions. In the spheroidal cavity, one molecule of large and medium‐sized polyaromatic molecules (i. e., coronene and pyrene) is exclusively bound from mixtures bearing the same number of aromatic CH groups. Theoretical studies reveal that multiple host‐guest CH‐π interactions (up to 32 interactions) are the predominant driving force for the observed selectivity. In addition, one molecule of planar metal complexes (i. e., porphine and bis(acetylacetonato) Cu(II) complexes) is quantitatively bound by the capsule through aromatic and aliphatic CH‐π multi‐interactions, respectively. The ESR and theoretical studies demonstrate the isolation capability of the capsular framework and an unusual polar environment in the polyaromatic cavity.

Published: September 2022

AbstractNatural lipases typically recognize enantiomers of alcohols based on the size differences of substituents near the carbinol moiety and selectively react with the R enantiomers of secondary alcohols. Therefore, lipase‐catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic secondary alcohols produces only R enantiomers. We report herein a method for obtaining S enantiomers by DKR of secondary 3‐(trialkylsilyl)propargyl alcohols by using a well‐known R‐selective Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase in combination with a racemization catalyst VMPS4, in which the silyl group reverses the size relationship of substituents near the carbinol moiety. We have already reported R‐selective DKR of the corresponding propargyl alcohols without substituents on the ethynyl terminal carbon, and the presence of an easily removable silyl group has enabled us to produce both enantiomers of propargyl alcohols in high chemical yields and with high enantiomeric excess. In addition, immobilization of the lipase on Celite was found to be important for achieving a high efficiency of the DKR.

AbstractThis is the first part of a two‐part paper focusing on the assessment of accuracy of turbulence‐related data from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using effective numerical dissipation rate and effective numerical viscosity. Setup of the CFD cases replicating a swirling pipe flow experiment from literature, for which turbulence‐related data measured via laser Doppler anemometry (LDA) had been reported, is presented. The way effective numerical dissipation rate and effective numerical viscosity were obtained for each mesh cell is also discussed. The results of the study are presented in the second part of this series.
Engaging in internal audit research… in the public sector no less: A Hara‐kiri for your academic career? No way!
Authors: Roussy Mélanie 
Published: September 2022

AbstractRecently, two reviews of the internal auditing literature identify only about 6% of published articles in the public sector context. Drawing on my own experience as an internal audit researcher and on these two literature reviews, I identify several research avenues specific to the practice of internal auditing in this sector. Notably, the impacts of the governance structure and the level of maturity of the organizations in which internal audit operates and of the external publication of internal audit reports remain insufficiently documented. I also debunk two persistent prejudices about internal audit and public sector research and discuss related methodological challenges that must be met to establish the relevance of studies.
The effect of bitumen molecular fractions on diffusivity and rheology of bitumen under high‐temperature conditions: Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study
Authors: Ahmadi Mohammadali , Clarke Matthew , Chen Zhangxin 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHeavy oil and bitumen play an incredible role in Canada's energy resources. The main processes that have already been applied to produce heavy oil and bitumen are in‐situ thermal methods. The primary mechanism of production in these reservoirs is a reduction in heavy oil and bitumen viscosities via heat transfer. Having deep knowledge about the rheological behaviour of heavy oil and bitumen is crucial to designing a more accurate and efficient in‐situ thermal recovery method. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation was used to model the rheological behaviour of bitumen under different temperatures. According to MD outputs, the highest diffusion coefficient between bitumen fractions belongs to saturate fractions. On the other hand, the lowest diffusion coefficient belongs to asphaltene fractions. The size of asphaltene, its polarity, and the polarity of a resin fraction affect the diffusion coefficient of asphaltene in a bitumen sample and its rheological behaviour. The MD simulation aims to provide molecular insights and essential information about the rheological trend of bitumen under different thermodynamic conditions. The results of the current work provide essential information about the effect of bitumen fractions on its rheological behaviour.

Published: September 2022

AbstractTo improve the metabolic stability of a 4,4′‐oxybisbenzoyl‐based novel and potent (nanomolar‐range IC50) antiplasmodial agent previously described by us, in silico‐guided structure‐activity relationship (SAR) campaigns have been conducted to substitute its peptide decorations with more metabolically stable residues. The effects of the various structural modifications were then correlated with the antiplasmodial activity in vitro in phenotypic assays. Among the several derivatives synthetized and compared with the 3D‐pharmacophoric map of the original lead, a novel compound, characterized by a western tert‐butyl glycine residue and an eastern 1S,2S‐aminoacyclohexanol, showed low‐nanomolar‐range antiplasmodial activity, no signs of cross‐resistance and, most importantly, 47‐fold improved Phase I metabolic stability when incubated with human liver microsomes. These results highlight the efficacy of in silico‐guided SAR campaigns which will allow us to further optimize the structure of the new lead aiming at testing its efficacy in vivo using different routes of administration.

Published: September 2022

SummaryDiscrete Tchebichef polynomials (DTPs) and their moments are effectively utilized in different fields such as video and image coding, pattern recognition, and computer vision due to their remarkable performance. However, when the moments order becomes large (high), DTPs prone to exhibit numerical instabilities. In this article, a computationally efficient and numerically stable recurrence algorithm is proposed for high order of moment. The proposed algorithm is based on combining two recurrence algorithms, which are the recurrence relations in the and ‐directions. In addition, an adaptive threshold is used to stabilize the generation of the DTP coefficients. The designed algorithm can generate the DTP coefficients for high moment's order and large signal size. By large signal size, we mean the samples of the discrete signal are large. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, a comparison study is performed with state‐of‐the‐art algorithms in terms of computational cost and capability of generating DTPs with large polynomial size and high moment order. The results show that the proposed algorithm has a remarkably low computation cost and is numerically stable, where the proposed algorithm is 27 times faster than the state‐of‐the‐art algorithm.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo review our experience with a standardized dental management approach in patients with planned radiotherapy of the head and neck region based on preradiation and follow‐up data.Material and MethodsRecords of patients who underwent radiotherapy between June 2016 and November 2020 were reviewed. Data on dental findings and therapeutic recommendations were extracted from a prospectively managed database. Hospital records were used to obtain follow‐up data.ResultsTwo hundred eighty‐one patient records were identified. After the exclusion of 81 patients because of incomplete data, 200 patients were included in the study. Dental findings relevant to radiotherapy were found in 144 cases (72.0%). Teeth extractions were recommended in 112 (56.0%) patients. Follow‐up data were available for 172 (86.0%) patients (mean follow‐up: 16.8 ± 10.7 months). Radiodermatitis was the most frequently observed sequela of radiotherapy (42.4%), followed by dysphagia (38.4%) and stomatitis (36.6%). Osteoradionecrosis was observed in only 2.3% of the patients.ConclusionDental findings relevant to planned radiotherapy were frequent and in many cases resulted in recommendations for teeth extraction. Based on our standardized dental management protocol, we observed low rates of late oral complications after radiotherapy of the head and neck region.
Institutionalizing corporate social responsibility disclosure: Historical webpages of the Fortune global 500 companies, 1997–2009

Published: September 2022

AbstractManagement and organization scholarships have paid increasing attention to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Less is known about the historical processes leading to the institutionalization of CSR reporting. We bridge the gap by coding and analyzing a digital archive of multinational enterprises' historical websites between 1997 and 2009. Combining in‐depth case studies of detailed environmental disclosure histories of three companies with quantitative summaries of 263 such companies, we find that these companies learned to define the CSR term and adjust their disclosing behaviors gradually, from ad hoc mentioning of idiosyncratic themes to disclosing proliferating themes, often in the dedicated separate website section. Accompanying this change was the growth of global initiatives such as Global Compact and Global Reporting Initiatives and their disclosure guidelines. These findings not only illuminate a historical perspective but also epitomize the dialectical relationship between business and institutional pressures.

AbstractLignin‐based activated carbon (LAC) is a promising high‐quality functional material due to high surface area, abundant porous structure, and various functional groups. Modification is the most important step to functionalize LAC by altering its porous and chemical properties. This Review summarizes the state‐of‐the‐art modification technologies of LAC toward advanced applications. Promising modification approaches are reviewed to display their effects on the preparation of LAC. The multiscale changes in the porosity and the surface chemistry of LAC are fully discussed. Advanced applications are then introduced to show the potential of LAC for supercapacitor electrode, catalyst support, hydrogen storage, and carbon dioxide capture. Finally, the mechanistic structure‐function relationships of LAC are elaborated. These results highlight that modification technologies play a special role in altering the properties and defining the functionalities of LAC, which could be a promising porous carbon material toward industrial applications.
A single‐phase p‐type ac–ac converter with reduced components count and high boost factor

Published: September 2022

AbstractThis paper proposes a new single‐phase direct step‐up ac–ac converter by modifying the p‐type impedance source. It provides a high boost factor as well as high efficiency, while only six parts are required to design it, involving just two bidirectional power switches. A safe commutation method has been applied to power switches to make the converter snubber‐free and high efficient. Input and output harmonic filters are no longer required since input and output currents variate continuously with small ripple and low total harmonic distortion (THD). The proposed topology only modulates the output voltage amplitude, not the phase and frequency, so the output frequency is identical to the input frequency and constant. Thus, it can be utilized in step‐up conversion applications, like inductive power transmission from low ac voltage sources. Input and output have the same ground, which is a good protective feature. In this paper, the operating principle of the converter is demonstrated. Experimental results have been represented to evaluate the performance of the converter. For this purpose, an experimental prototype has been fabricated. Results are investigated and compared with other previous step‐up ac–ac converters. Results confirm the theory, operating principle, and performance of the converter.
Autonomic nervous system activity moderates associations between temperament and externalizing behaviors in early childhood

Published: September 2022

AbstractTemperamental risk, such as surgency, negative affect, and poor effortful control, has been posited as a predictor of externalizing symptom development. However, autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity underlying processes of reactivity and regulation may moderate associations between early temperament and later externalizing behaviors during early childhood. The aim of the present study was to examine how interactions between resting sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic (PNS) activity at age 5 may moderate associations between temperamental risk at age 3 and externalizing behavior at age 6 (n = 87). Results demonstrate different interactions between resting ANS activity and temperamental risk to predict externalizing behaviors. For children with lower SNS activation at rest, surgency was positively associated with externalizing behaviors. Negative affect was positively associated with externalizing behaviors except when there were either high levels of SNS and PNS activity or low levels of SNS and PNS activity. Effortful control was not associated with externalizing behaviors, though SNS and PNS activity interacted to predict externalizing behaviors after accounting for effortful control. Taken together, the results highlight the importance to examine multisystem resting physiological activity as a moderator of associations between temperamental risk and the development of externalizing behaviors.
