Published: March 2022

Abstract. We present a chronology framework named LegacyAge 1.0
containing harmonized chronologies for 2831 pollen records (downloaded from
the Neotoma Paleoecology Database and the supplementary Asian datasets)
together with their age control points and metadata in machine-readable data
formats. All chronologies use the Bayesian framework implemented in Bacon
version 2.5.3. Optimal parameter settings of priors (accumulation.shape,
memory.strength, memory.mean, accumulation.rate, and thickness) were identified
based on information in the original publication or iteratively after
preliminary model inspection. The most common control points for the
chronologies are radiocarbon dates (86.1 %), calibrated by the latest
calibration curves (IntCal20 and SHCal20 for the terrestrial radiocarbon
dates in the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere and Marine20 for marine
materials). The original publications were consulted when dealing with
outliers and inconsistencies. Several major challenges when setting up the
chronologies included the waterline issue (18.8 % of records), reservoir effect (4.9 %), and sediment deposition discontinuity (4.4 %). Finally, we numerically compare the LegacyAge 1.0 chronologies to those published in the original publications and show that the reliability of the chronologies of 95.4 % of records could be improved according to our assessment. Our chronology framework and revised chronologies provide the opportunity to make use of the ages and age uncertainties in synthesis studies of, for example, pollen-based vegetation and climate change. The LegacyAge 1.0 dataset, including metadata, datings, harmonized chronologies, and R code used, is open-access and available at PANGAEA (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.933132; Li et al., 2021) and Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5815192; Li et al., 2022), respectively.

Abstract. To mark the 20th anniversary of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS), an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated
to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies
and original research on natural hazards and their consequences, we
highlight 11 key publications covering major subject areas of NHESS that
stood out within the past 20 years. The papers cover all the topics contemplated in the European Geosciences Union (EGU) Division on Natural Hazards including dissemination, education, outreach and teaching. The selected articles thus represent excellent scientific contributions in the major areas of natural hazards and risks and helped NHESS to become an exceptionally strong journal representing interdisciplinary areas of natural hazards and risks. At its 20th anniversary, we are proud that NHESS is not only used by scientists to disseminate research results and novel ideas but also by practitioners and decision-makers to present effective solutions and strategies for sustainable disaster risk reduction.
Technical note: Turbulence measurements from a light autonomous underwater vehicle

Published: March 2022

Abstract. A self-contained turbulence instrument from Rockland Scientific was installed on a light autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) from OceanScan Marine Systems and Technology Lda. We report on the data quality and discuss limitations of dissipation estimated from two shear probes during a deployment in the Barents Sea in February 2021. The AUV mission lasted for 5 h, operating at a typical horizontal speed of 1.1 m s−1. The AUV was programmed to find and cross the maximum along-path thermal gradient at 10, 20 and 30 m depths along 4 km transects. Although the AUV vibrations contaminate the shear probe records, the noise is mitigated by removing vibration-induced components from shear spectra using the accelerometer signal measured in multiple directions. Dissipation rate estimates in the observed transects varied in the range 1×10-8 and 6×10-6 W kg−1, with the values from the two orthogonal probes typically in agreement to within a factor of 2. Dissipation estimates from the AUV show good agreement with nearby vertical microstructure profiles obtained from the ship during the transects, indicating that the turbulence measurements from the AUV are reliable for this relatively turbulent environment. However, the lowest reliable dissipation rates are limited to 5×10-8 W kg−1, making this setup unfit for use in quiescent environments.

Authors: Gole Prakash 
Published: March 2022

This article elucidates the different parameters used in the study of beaches along the Konkan coast to identify biodiversity hotspots. The author has identified these parameters after an extensive study and analysis of not only the flora and fauna but also the extent and severity of human activity which often has a detrimental impact on biodiversity.
Beaches have been ranked on the basis of dune vegetation, protective vegetation, algal cover, Eagle & Turtle nesting and marine animals. Another table examines the presence of supportive parameters like Exposed/Sheltered beaches, Intertidal zone, presence of stream/estuary, mangroves, forests and human activity. The highest scores based on these two tables are used to identify the biodiversity hotspots. The author has also briefly discussed people’s participation in nature conservation and public awareness and networking.

The main role of the principal as an educational leader is to create a teaching and learning situation so that teachers can teach, and students can learn well. In carrying out the role of the principal, the headmaster has a dual responsibility, namely carrying out school administration to create a good teaching and learning situation and carrying out supervision so that teachers increase in carrying out teaching tasks and in guiding the growth of students. Principals who can carry out their functions as educators, managers, administrators, supervisors, leaders, innovators, and motivators can be said to have good leadership abilities. Teachers are one of the factors that affect the quality of education. To improve teacher competence, it is necessary to conduct a testing system for teacher competence. In line with the regional autonomy policy, several regions have conducted teacher competency tests, they do so mainly to determine the ability of teachers in their area, to increase their ranks and positions, as well as to appoint school principals and deputy principals.
Genome-wide characterization and expression of the TLP gene family associated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides inoculation in Fragaria × ananassa
Authors: Zhang Yuchao , Miao Lixiang , Yang Xiaofang , Jiang Guihua 
Published: March 2022

Background
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, a soil-borne fungal pathogen, causes significant yield losses in many plants, including cultivated strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa, 2n = 8x = 56). Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) are a large and complex family of proteins that play a vital role in plant host defense and other physiological processes.

Methods
To enhance our understanding of the antifungal activity of F. × ananassa TLPs (FaTLP), we investigated the genome-wide identification of FaTLP gene families and their expression patterns in F. × ananassa plants upon pathogen infection. Moreover, we used RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to detect the differences in the expression patterns of TLP genes between different resistant strawberry cultivars in response to C. gloeosporioides infection.

Results
In total, 76 TLP genes were identified from the octoploid cultivated strawberry genome with a mean length of 1,439 bp. They were distributed on 24 F. × ananassa chromosomes. The FaTLP family was then divided into ten groups (Group I–X) according to the comparative phylogenetic results. Group VIII contained the highest number of TLP family genes. qRT-PCR analysis results indicated that FaTLP40, FaTLP41, FaTLP43, FaTLP68, and FaTLP75 were upregulated following C. gloeosporioides infection in the resistant octoploid strawberry.

Conclusions
The data showed some differences in TLP gene expression patterns across different resistant strawberry cultivars, as well as faster TLP defense responses to pathogenic fungi in resistant cultivars. This study will aid in the characterization of TLP gene family members found in octoploid strawberries and their potential biological functions in plants’ defenses against pathogenic fungi.
A prognostic risk model based on DNA methylation levels of genes and lncRNAs in lung squamous cell carcinoma
Authors: Wang Weiqing , Xiang Ming , Liu Hui , Chu Xiao , Sun Zhaoyun , Feng Liang 
Published: March 2022

Background
Recurrence is a risk factor for the prognosis of lung squamous carcinoma (LUSC). DNA methylation levels of RNAs are also associated with LUSC prognosis. This study aimed to construct a prognostic model with high performance in predicting LUSC prognosis using the methylation levels of lncRNAs and genes.

Methods
The differentially expressed RNAs (DERs) and differentially methylated RNAs (DMRs) between the recurrent and non-recurrent LUSC tissues in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA; training dataset) were identified. Weighted correlation network analysis was performed to identify co-methylation networks. Differentially methylated genes and lncRNAs with opposite expression-methylation levels were used for the screening of prognosis-associated RNAs. The prognostic model was constructed and its performance was validated in the GSE39279 dataset.

Results
A total of 664 DERs and 981 DMRs (including 972 genes) in recurrent LUSC tissues were identified. Three co-methylation modules, including 226 differentially methylated genes, were significantly associated with LUSC. Among prognosis-associated RNAs, 18 DERs/DMRs with opposite methylation-expression levels were included in the methylation prognostic risk model. LUSC patients with high risk scores had a poor prognosis compared with patients who had low risk scores (TCGA: HR = 3.856, 95% CI [2.297–6.471]; GSE39279: HR = 3.040, 95% CI [1.435–6.437]). This model had a high accuracy in predicting the prognosis (AUC = 0.903 and 0.800, respectively), equivalent to the nomogram model inclusive of clinical variables.

Conclusions
Referring to the methylation levels of the 16-RNAs might help to predict the survival outcomes in LUSC.

ImportanceThe recent incidence of cutaneous melanoma of different thicknesses in the US is not well described.ObjectiveTo evaluate recent patterns in the incidence of melanoma by tumor thickness and examine associations of sex, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic status with melanoma thickness-specific incidence.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis population-based cohort study analyzed data for 187 487 patients with a new diagnosis of invasive cutaneous melanoma from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Registry from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2018. The study was conducted from May 27 to December 29, 2021. Data were analyzed from June 21 to October 24, 2021.Main Outcomes and MeasuresAge-adjusted incidence rates of melanoma were calculated by tumor thickness (categorized by Breslow thickness) and annual percentage change (APC) in incidence rates. Analyses were stratified by sex and race and ethnicity. The associations with socioeconomic status were evaluated in 134 359 patients diagnosed with melanoma from 2010 to 2016.ResultsThis study included 187 487 patients with a median (IQR) age of 62 (52-72) years and 58.4% men. Melanoma incidence was higher in men compared with women across all tumor thickness groups. Individuals in lower socioeconomic status quintiles and members of minority groups were more likely to be diagnosed with thicker (T4) tumors (20.7% [169 of 816] among non-Hispanic Black patients, 11.2% [674 of 6042] among Hispanic patients, and 6.3% [10 774 of 170 155] among non-Hispanic White patients). Between 2010 and 2018, there was no significant increase in incidence of cutaneous melanoma across the full population (APC, 0.39%; 95% CI, –0.40% to 1.18%). The incidence of the thickest melanomas (T4, >4.0 mm) increased between 2010 and 2018, with an APC of 3.32% (95% CI, 2.06%-4.60%) overall, 2.50% (95% CI, 1.27%-3.73%) in men, and 4.64% (95% CI, 2.56%-6.75%) in women.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this population-based cohort study, the incidence of the thickest cutaneous melanoma tumors increased from 2010 to 2018, in contrast with the incidence patterns for thinner melanomas. The findings suggest potential stabilization of overall melanoma incidence rates in the US after nearly a century of continuous increase in incidence. Patients with low socioeconomic status and Hispanic patients were more likely to be diagnosed with thick melanoma. The continued rise in incidence of thick melanoma is unlikely to be attributable to overdiagnosis given the stability of thin melanoma rates.
Iron Half‐Sandwich Complexes for Catalysis
Authors: Korb Marcus 
Published: March 2022

AbstractAs the most abundant transition metal, iron is well‐known for its rich complex chemistry and variety of oxidation states. In recent years, iron salts such as FeII/IIIhalides and acetylacetonate complexes have been employed as (pre‐)catalysts in a variety of chemical transformations, including those mediated by Lewis acid activation of functional groups, redox‐catalysis, and cross‐coupling reactions. However, the absence of stable ligand spheres or ligand lability limits the application of these “naked” salts and complexes, with the properties of the catalytically active species being predominantly determined by donor functionalities of solvent, substrate, and additives in the reaction. Improvements in catalyst design arise from introduction of multidentate pyridine‐ and other N‐based ligand designs, many of which, however, still require high catalyst loadings. The iron half‐sandwich motif, offers a robustly bonded cyclic ligand, most commonly η5‐cyclopentadienyl (Cp−), which occupies half of the available coordination sites. Additional ligands complete the complex design and allow tuning of the electronic, steric, and geometric properties of the active species. This article provides an overview of catalytic processes in which iron half‐sandwich complexes play a key role. Rather than the synthesis of the iron complexes or the substrate scope, focus is put on the properties of the active species and mechanistic aspects, to provide an overview of the rich chemistry that the half‐sandwich motif offers.

AbstractDeveloping low‐cost and highly efficient earth‐abundant oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts via an energy‐ and time‐saving method is of great significance to the generation of H2 from electrochemical water splitting, which is highly desirable but still challenging. Herein, a one‐step route to in situ grow S‐doped FeOOH vertical nanosheets on iron foam (IF) in 20 min under room temperature is shown. This facile and ultrafast method effectively modifies the surface of the IF into an S‐doped FeOOH layer, and a full‐Fe electrode (S‐FeOOH/IF) is achieved. Systematic experiments and characterizations demonstrate that the redox reactivities for both of the iron and lattice oxygen in FeOOH are sufficiently activated, leading to the dramatically improved intrinsic OER activity. The as‐obtained S‐FeOOH/IF exhibits a fascinating OER performance with a low overpotential of 244 at 10 mA cm−2. This work affords an efficient surface engineering strategy to drive commercial IF into cost‐efficient and robust earth‐abundant electrocatalysts for water oxidation, which has important implications for clean H2 production through a low‐carbon and environmentally friendly route.

AbstractMicroscale zero‐valent iron is one of the most important multifunctional environmental remediation materials, yet its passivated iron oxide shell hampers the transportation of inherent electrons. Herein, the authors exert tensile strain onto mZVI by interstitial boron doping that destabilizes lattice FeFe interactions, thereby liberating the electrons trapped in the iron reservoir. Tensile strain also upshifts the equilibrated Fermi level at the iron/iron oxide Ohmic heterojunction, thus populating the oxide shell with abundant electrons for robust heavy metal sequestration. Strained‐mZVI exhibits a 62 times faster Cr(VI) removal rate than its unstrained counterpart and can successfully treat industrial wastewater such as landfill leachate, electroplating, and chromium effluents. The excellent property and exceedingly low cost ($2000 ton−1) of strained‐mZVI results in its great potential to remediate heavy metal‐contaminated water and soil.
