Peridynamic bond‐associated correspondence model: Reformulation and comparison study
Authors: Chan WaiLam , Chen Hailong 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe peridynamic bond‐associated formulation has been shown to be effective in stabilizing the conventional correspondence model for both two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional, static, and dynamic problems. However, recent study revealed the persistence of material instability in the bond‐associated formulation for one‐dimensional problems for majority combinations of the bond associated horizon size and material point horizon size and two‐dimensional problems when both the bond‐associated horizon size and the material point horizon size are twice of mesh spacing. In addition, it was found that the bond‐associated formulation has instability in dynamic problems when the bond‐associated horizon size is close to the material point horizon size. In this article, a reformulation of the bond‐associated correspondence formulation is presented. Distinct from the original formulation, the proposed reformulation derives the force density states of a bond as a volume weighted average of all bond‐associated force density states whose bond‐associated horizons include the material points of the bond. Similar to the original bond‐associated formulation, the proposed reformulation recovers the conventional formulation when the bond‐associated horizon size is at least twice as large as the material point horizon size. Detailed numerical study on wave dispersion relations, static deformation, and dynamic wave propagation problems are performed to investigate and compare the two bond‐associated formulations. It is found that for all these three types of problems, the proposed reformulation significantly improves the model instability compared to the original bond‐associated formulation, especially when the bond‐associated horizon size is small relative to the material point horizon size. Based on numerical study, small bond‐associated horizon is recommended for use in the proposed reformulation.

AbstractAimParenting styles are determinants of psychosocial maladjustment in the subsequent generation. Modifiable factors that positively impact intergenerational transmission should be identified. Thus, this study investigated the mediating effects of adult attachment on the transmission of child‐rearing styles and the combined impact of fathers' and mothers' styles on their offspring's parenting.MethodsOverall, 396 fathers and 733 mothers participated. They were married or cohabiting when their children aged 0–10 years attended a pediatric office in Japan. The pediatricians distributed the self‐report questionnaires to examine perceived rearing (the Parental Bonding Instrument), adult attachment (the Relationship Questionnaire), and demographic characteristics. We then analyzed the data using structural equation modeling that illustrated intergenerational transmission of rearing styles between grandparents and parents.ResultsOverall, 385 fathers (Mage = 35.5 years, SD = 6.0) and 699 mothers (Mage = 33.5 years, SD = 5.1) satisfied the eligibility criteria. The path models showed that adult attachment to partners mediated grandparental and parental care. However, no mediating effect was observed in other intergenerational patterns that transmitted overprotective rearing styles. Additionally, combined grandfather and grandmother care were positively associated with parental overprotection.ConclusionThis study suggested the potential of adult attachment in mediating loving, empathic, and warm rearing styles and the combined effects of both parents' styles on promoting the next‐generation parents' overprotective styles. Our findings clarify how to terminate the negative chain of the parent–child transmission.

AbstractIn mass spectrometry (MS)‐based quantitative proteomics, labeling with isobaric mass tags such as iTRAQ and TMT can substantially improve sample throughput and reduce peptide missing values. Nonetheless, the quantification of labeled peptides tends to suffer from reduced accuracy due to the co‐isolation of co‐eluting precursors of similar mass‐to‐charge. Acquisition approaches such as multistage MS3 or ion mobility separation address this problem, yet are difficult to audit and limited to expensive instrumentation. Here we introduce IsobaricQuant, an open‐source software tool for quantification, visualization, and filtering of peptides labeled with isobaric mass tags, with specific focus on precursor interference. IsobaricQuant is compatible with MS2 and MS3 acquisition strategies, has a viewer that allows assessing interference, and provides several scores to aid the filtering of scans with compression. We demonstrate that IsobaricQuant quantifications are accurate by comparing it with commonly used software. We further show that its QC scores can successfully filter out scans with reduced quantitative accuracy at MS2 and MS3 levels, removing inaccurate peptide quantifications and decreasing protein CVs. Finally, we apply IsobaricQuant to a PISA dataset and show that QC scores improve the sensitivity of the identification of protein targets of a kinase inhibitor.

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe reported prevalence of tuberculous bronchial stenosis in children is unknown and rarely reported in English‐speaking literature. In adult patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, it varies from 40% in an autopsied series in the preantibiotic era to 10% in patients who have undergone routine bronchofibroscopy in modern times. We describe our experience of four cases of confirmed bronchial stenosis due to MTB collected between January 2000 and June 2021 in this case series descriptive study. The diagnosis of bronchial stenosis due to TB was made on flexible bronchoscopy. A TB diagnosis was made if MTB was cultured from respiratory secretions, when Ziehl‐Neelsen smear or GeneXpert MTB/RIF test was positive, or if a chest radiograph revealed radiographic features typical of MTB. Bronchial stenosis due to TB is rare even if airway compression is frequently seen. Although an early diagnosis of bronchial stenosis due to TB is difficult on chest X‐rays, all children in this series demonstrated parenchymal changes distal to the stenosis ranging from hyperinflation and lobar collaps to bronchiectasis. If bronchial stenosis resulting from TB disease is diagnosed early, balloon dilatation as described in this report, may be an effective and safe intervention, preventing long‐term complications such as irreversible lung destruction, that may require pneumonectomy.

AbstractBACKGROUNDEntomopathogenic fungi can provide a set of ecological services, such as suppressing arthropod pests and plant pathogens. In this study, novel indigenous Beauveria caledonica (Bc) strains were isolated from naturally infected banana weevils (Cosmopolites sordidus) occurring in commercial banana plantations in Brazil.RESULTSThe prevalence of infection by Bc strains on field‐caught C. sordidus ranged from 1.3% to 12.9%. Similar to the Beauveria bassiana strains tested, none of the Bc strains caused more than 50% weevil mortality at a concentration of 1 × 108 conidia ml−1. Bc strain CMAA1810 caused the highest mortality in C. sordidus and had enhanced insecticidal activity when formulated with an emulsifiable oil. In paired co‐culture assays, this same strain showed a significant growth‐inhibitory effect on the causal agent of Fusarium banana wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, Foc) of twofold magnitude compared with the control. Cell‐free crude filtrates derived from the red‐pigmented culture broth of Bc (CMAA1810) strongly reduced Foc conidial viability, and this inhibitory activity was inversely related to the age of the Bc culture. Crude concentrated filtrates from 4‐day‐old cultures exhibited the strongest antifungal activity (13‐fold) compared with untreated Foc conidia. The abundant compound identified in the crude filtrate of Bc was oosporein (1,4‐dibenzoquinone) present at a concentration of 0.829 ± 0.018 mg g−1 dry matter, and the antifungal activity of the filtrate was demonstrated.CONCLUSIONThese results indicated that Bc strains might have the potential to manage both C. sordidus and Foc, two of the major phytosanitary problems in banana crops worldwide. Further research under field conditions using suitable formulations of virulent Bc strains in combination with the metabolite oosporein is needed to evaluate their efficacy in the management of C. sordidus and Foc in banana plantations. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
A critical look at using financial technology policy to promote the sustainable development goals

Published: July 2022

AbstractNew financial technologies (FinTech) may not represent a new era for sustainable development—at least not as currently conceived. Many of the gains espoused by the UN and other cheerleaders come from rebranding the online equivalents of traditional savings, investment and tax payment activities. Most of these claims have no supporting evidence, beyond ad hoc anecdotes and stories. The existing evidence hardly forms a reliable basis for the very specific technologies and services recommended by international organizations. We show that abstract and nebulous advice on changing countries' payments, banking, securities, and others' laws helps explain why such advice will likely have little effect on promoting financial inclusion, saving, mobile payments, and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

AbstractA practical and efficient synthesis of 4‐(triphenylen‐2‐yl)dibenzothiophene, a phosphorescent host, has been established via ligand‐free palladium on carbon (Pd/C) catalyst mediated Suzuki coupling reaction. The process allowed us to recover and reuse the heterogeneous Pd/C catalyst for cost‐effectiveness with a conversion yield greater than 90 %. Moreover, interesting results on solid‐state studies of the sublimed title material have been captured along with its photo‐physical and electrochemical properties, which are appropriate for its use as a host material. Finally, we have fabricated solution‐processed organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) by using the title material as a host and bis(4‐phenylthieno[3,2‐c]pyridinato‐N,C2′) (acetylacetonate) iridium(III) (PO‐01), as a phosphorescent dopant. The devices exhibited efficiencies of ∼9 cd/A at 1000 cd/m2, and the results were comparable with the traditional host, 4,4′‐bis(N‐carbazolyl)‐1,1′‐biphenyl (CBP).

AbstractIn the fast‐developing world, people must migrate to hybrid electric vehicles with a high energy density of lithium‐ion batteries to reduce air and sound pollution primarily. Herein, acid hydrolysis is used to depolymerize vest post‐consumer polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, resulting in pure terephthalic acid (TPA). It was used in an acid‐base reaction to produce the dilithium terephthalate (Li2TP). By using1H,13CNMR, and FTIR spectroscopy, the obtained TPA and its salt Li2TP are thoroughly studied. In terms of electrochemical properties, TPA has a restricted reversible capacity of 102 mAh g−1with dramatic fading and a coulombic efficiency of 98.2 % over the 50th cycle at 1 C. The resulting Li2TP, displays a three‐fold higher reversible capacity of 295 mAh g−1, with 99.8 % capacity retention and stable cycling at a similar rate over the 50th cycle. Moreover, computationally found that the charged state of Li2TP has a highly unstable structure due to a high steric hindrance and strong similar charge repulsion between lithium ions and it shows bandgap energy 0.2318 eV with four ionic bonds (1.7748 Å) and two new metallic bonds (3.2114 Å), which is 22 times smaller than TPA. Furthermore, Li2TP has a lower dielectric constant/loss and higher dipole movement than TPA, with values of 1.32E+04/1.24E+03, and 5.93E+03 respectively, and it improves Li‐ion transportation of Li2TP in organic electrolytes.

AbstractIn this work, two different approaches were proposed to obtain low‐dielectric material with self‐cleaning property from polybenzoxazine (Pbz). Initially, benzoxazine (Bzo) monomer with benzophenone functionality was synthesized. Then, Pbz/TiO2 composites were prepared using the synthesized bzo monomer and TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs). A simple Mannich reaction and thermal curing were effective for the synthesis of ring‐closing and ring‐opening benzoxazine using molecular structure and provided highly efficient products without the use of a special catalyst. DSC analysis showed that the benzoxazine monomer exhibits different polymerization reactivity as they possess different functional groups. The inclusion of an inorganic component into the organic polymer had a significant enhancing effect. Two important properties, viz., the low free surface energy of Pbz and the self‐cleaning property of TiO2 nanoparticles, were combined to develop a promising approach in the development of self‐cleaning materials. These properties are incorporated to produce a multifunctional superhydrophobic material, Pbz/TiO2 modified with different ratios of TiO2 by way of simple blending and subsequent thermal curing reactions. The resulting Pbz/TiO2 composite exhibits excellent thermomechanical strength (retention modulus 3.34G, thermal stability up to 352 °C) and strong water resistance (static water contact angle of 141°), as well as low dielectric constant (3.1).

AbstractPesticide residue has become a bottleneck for developing the Chinese herbal medicine industry. Diamide insecticides have been approved to control various crop pests in many countries around the world. In this study, a multi‐residue method was established and validated for six diamides (flubendiamide, cyantraniliprole, cyclaniliprole, chlorantraniliprole, tetrachlorantraniliprole, and broflanilide) in honeysuckle matrix. In this methodology, the combined purifier based on the carboxylated multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT‐COOH) exhibited good purification efficiency and effectiveness to the acetonitrile extract of honeysuckle. The instrumental analysis was completed perfectly in 16 minute on an ultra performance liquid chromatography‐photodiode array detector (UPLC‐PDA). The recoveries of six diamides ranged from 79 % to 107 %, with the relative standard deviations (RSD) less than 12.5 %. Limits of quantitation (LOQ) of six analytes ranged from 0.009 to 0.014 mg kg−1 in the honeysuckle sample. The results imply the method is reliable for detecting the six diamides in honeysuckle.

AbstractHerein, two series of isomers are developed based on biphenyl (BP) and two typical donor groups diphenylamine (DPA) and 9,9‐dimethyl‐9,10‐dihydroacridine (DMAc) to figure out the isomerization effect on structures and photophysical properties. The computational simulations and photophysical analyses indicate that the substitution positions influence not only the molecular conformations but also the frontier molecular orbital distributions, which further influence the photoluminescence properties. We find that twisted structure is beneficial for the separation of the frontier molecular orbitals, while more planar structure contributes to higher luminescent intensity for both fluorescence and phosphorescence. Meanwhile, room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is caught when these isomers are doped in 4,4′‐dibromo‐1,1′‐biphenyl (DBBP). The p‐DDPA/DBBP complex shows the highest intensity of phosphorescence and the longest lifetime (81.71 ms). The photoluminescence quantum yield of the p‐DDPA/DBBP complex is as high as 54 % with RTP quantum efficiency approximately 12 %, which is 28 % for pure p‐DDPA without afterglow.

AbstractAdverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with worse sleep, but existing literature is limited by use of predominantly White samples, lack of objective sleep measurement, and use of non‐standardized questionnaires. We investigated associations between retrospectively reported ACEs and sleep in adulthood in a sample of 43 adults 20–53 years of age, free from chronic conditions, with a Body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25 (Mean age = 33.14 [SD = 10.05], 74% female, 54% Black). Sleep efficiency (SE), total sleep time (TST), wake after sleep onset (WASO), and sleep onset latency (SOL), were measured by actigraphy and daily diary. Global sleep quality and insomnia severity were measured by questionnaires. Sleepiness, fatigue, and sleep quality were also measured by daily diary. Adjusting for demographic characteristics and BMI, ACEs were significantly associated with poorer global sleep quality and diary measures of greater daytime sleepiness, fatigue, and poorer sleep quality. There were no significant associations between ACEs and SE, TST, WASO, or SOL measured by diary or actigraphy. Findings suggest that ACEs are associated with worse sleep perception and daytime functioning in adulthood. Larger prospective studies are needed to replicate these findings, examine racial/ethnic differences, and determine temporal associations between ACEs, sleep, and health (e.g., BMI).

AbstractAccess to clean water for drinking, sanitation, and irrigation is a major sustainable development goal of the United Nations. Thus, technologies for cleaning water and quality‐monitoring must become widely accessible and of low‐cost, while being effective, selective, sustainable, and eco‐friendly. To meet this challenge, hetero‐bifunctional nanographene fluorescent beacons with high‐affinity pockets for heavy metals are developed, offering top‐rated and selective adsorption for cadmium and lead, reaching 870 and 450 mg g‐1, respectively. The heterobifunctional and multidentate pockets also operate as selective gates for fluorescence signal regulation with sub‐nanomolar sensitivity (0.1 and 0.2 nm for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively), due to binding affinities as low as those of antigen‐antibody interactions. Importantly, the acid‐proof nanographenes can be fully regenerated and reused. Their broad visible‐light absorption offers an additional mode for water‐quality monitoring based on ultra‐low cost and user‐friendly reagentless paper detection with the naked‐eye at a limit of detection of 1 and 10 ppb for Pb2+ and Cd2+ ions, respectively. This work shows that photoactive nanomaterials, densely‐functionalized with strong, yet selective ligands for targeted contaminants, can successfully combine features such as excellent adsorption, reusability, and sensing capabilities, in a way to extend the material's applicability, its life‐cycle, and value‐for‐money.

Published: July 2022

AbstractPre‐catalyst reconstruction in electrochemical processes has recently attracted intensive attention with mechanistic potentials to uncover really active species and catalytic mechanisms and advance targeted catalyst designs. Here, nickel‐molybdenum oxysulfide is deliberately fabricated as pre‐catalyst to present a comprehensive study on reconstruction dynamics for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkali water electrolysis. Operando Raman spectroscopy together with X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron microscopy capture dynamic reconstruction including geometric, component and phase evolutions, revealing a chameleon‐like reconstruction self‐adaptive to OER and HER demands under oxidative and reductive conditions, respectively. The in situ generated active NiOOH and Ni species with ultrafine and porous textures exhibit superior OER and HER performance, respectively, and an electrolyzer with such two reconstructed electrodes demonstrates steady overall water splitting with an extraordinary 80% electricity‐to‐hydrogen (ETH) energy conversion efficiency. This work highlights dynamic reconstruction adaptability to electrochemical conditions and develops an automatic avenue toward the targeted design of advanced catalysts.
