Published: June 2022

AbstractLayered oxide cathodes have demonstrated great potential for potassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) on account of high reversible capacity, appropriate diffusion paths, and low cost. However, their electrochemical performance in PIBs is generally worse than that in lithium‐ion batteries due to large structural changes and deformations during charging and discharging. To improve their potassium storage performance, a series of strategies have been developed in recent studies. In this review, we summarize the latest advancements in layered oxide cathodes for PIBs through different crystal regulation strategies, including transition metal layer doping, potassium content optimization, oxygen partial substitution, functional morphology construction and air stability improvement. Meanwhile, the relationship between the electrochemical properties and structural evolution of these modified cathodes is also investigated. In addition, the challenges and prospects of these layered oxide cathodes in PIBs are analyzed in detail, providing constructive insights for future applications of PIBs.
Force Dependent Barriers from Analytic Potentials within Elastic Environments
Authors: Khodayeki Samaneh , Maftuhin Wafa , Walter Michael 
Published: June 2022

AbstractBond rupture under the action of external forces is usually induced by temperature fluctuations, where the key quantity is the force dependent barrier that needs to be overcome. Using analytic potentials we find that these barriers are fully determined by the dissociation energy and the maximal force the potential can withstand. The barrier shows a simple dependence on these two quantities that allows for a re‐interpretation of the Eyring‐Zhurkov‐Bell length
and the expressions in theories going beyond that. It is shown that solely elastic environments do not change this barrier in contrast to the predictions of constraint geometry simulate external force (COGEF) strategies. The findings are confirmed by explicit calculations of bond rupture in a polydimethylsiloxane model.

AbstractBased on the results of prior research, we examined relationships between Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI) items on clinical scales of antisocial features (ANT) and anxiety‐related disorders (ARD) with patient‐ and therapist‐rated alliance early in treatment (third or fourth session). We also explored the relationship between the PAI treatment rejection scale (RXR) and early session therapist‐rated alliance, despite null findings in previous work. We used PAI protocols from a clinical outpatient sample (N = 80). Data were analysed using backwards linear regressions. Results indicated that a group of ANT items from different ANT subscales predicted patient‐rated therapeutic alliance, F(8,59) = 5.182, p = .000, R2 of .413, f2 = 0.70. Additionally, a group of ARD items from different ARD subscales significantly predicted therapist‐rated alliance, F(6,62) = 3.007, p = .012, R2 of .225, f2 = 0.29. No significant relationships were found for RXR items and therapist‐rated alliance, consistent with prior findings. Clinical implications are discussed.

AbstractWe report the pyrolysis of NiFe‐containing nanocrystals, which leads to 10.2±2.4 nm NiFe alloy particles embedded in carbon with an exceptional area specific exchange current density of 0.048 mA cmNi−2 toward the alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). The high activity primarily originates from optimized hydrogen and hydroxyl adsorption strength due to alloying effect between Ni and Fe.

AbstractWe report an in‐plane extended nanopore Coulter counter (XnCC) chip fabricated in a thermoplastic via imprinting. The fabrication of the sensor utilized both photolithography and focused ion beam milling to make the microfluidic network and the in‐plane pore sensor, respectively, in Si from which UV resin stamps were generated followed by thermal imprinting to produce the final device in the appropriate plastic (cyclic olefin polymer, COP). As an example of the utility of this in‐plane extended nanopore sensor, we enumerated SARS‐CoV‐2 viral particles (VPs) affinity‐selected from saliva and extracellular vesicles (EVs) affinity‐selected from plasma samples secured from mouse models exposed to different ionizing radiation doses.

Published: June 2022

AbstractIntroductionTheory of mind (ToM) is important for social interactions and typical development and has been found to be impaired in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN). Hypoactivation in frontotemporal brain regions seems to be the underlying neural mechanism in AN while whole‐brain analyses in BN are lacking.MethodsWe used the well‐validated social recognition task fMRI paradigm to assess ToM in a total of 72 female adolescents (16 BN, 18 AN and 38 matched healthy controls [HC]).ResultsCompared to HCBN, patients with BN showed hyperactivity during ToM‐activity in the right frontal pole, middle temporal gyrus and left temporal pole and differed fundamentally from hypoactivation in these regions observed in patients with AN before and after short‐term weight rehabilitation. Interaction and overlap analyses confirmed that similar regions were affected in opposite directions in both diseases. Hyperactivations in BN in the right middle temporal gyrus and right frontal pole were associated with clinical BN‐severity markers binging and purging frequency.DiscussionThe hyperactivation in BN suggest different underlying neural mechanisms for ToM compared to AN. Hyperactivity might correspond to a different but also ineffective cognitive style in patients with BN when approaching social interactions. These important transdiagnostic differences are relevant for future brain‐targeted therapeutic approaches.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundDecisions regarding the conversion of land from an existing crop to bioenergy crops are critical for the sustainable production of both food and fuels. This study seeks to establish criteria for delineating land as “economically marginal”, and thus suited for growing switchgrass.MethodsIn this case study of an Illinois agricultural field, the profitability of switchgrass, with farmgate prices of $44 Mg−1, $66 Mg−1, or $88 Mg−1, was compared to corn and soybean crop prices. Further, the study also evaluates the profitability of switchgrass when replacing corn‐based yield estimates from the Soil Productivity Index (SPI) of Illinois.ResultsBased on a dry‐matter yield of 10.45 Mg ha−1, switchgrass can compete with soybeans only at the high price of $88 Mg−1, but depending on location, can compete with corn at $66 Mg−1. Across Illinois, at $88 ha−1, all Illinois land with SPI < 100% and 95% of land under SPI class C (SPI 100–116) is profitable under switchgrass. Switchgrass may not be profitable relative to corn grown in the SPI class A (SPI > 133) and only 7% of class B (SPI 117–132).ConclusionsOur results show that land with drainage and erosion limitations is economically marginal when corn and soybean yields are low, and the farmgate price for switchgrass is greater than $66 Mg−1. However, this may not be possible on land where switchgrass is replacing frequent soybean rotations (corn–soybean ratio ≤ 1). Land used to produce only soybeans may only be marginal at the farmgate price of $88 Mg−1. Further studies need to be conducted to identify how much land can be converted to switchgrass without harming corn production.

AbstractFocal seizures originating from the temporal lobe are commonly associated with peri‐ictal hypoxemia (PIH). During the course of temporal lobe seizures, epileptic discharges often not only spread within various parts of the temporal lobe but also possibly insula and frontal lobe. The link between spatial propagation of the seizure discharges and PIH is still unclear. The present study investigates the involvement of several brain structures including medial temporal structures, temporal pole, anterior insula, and frontal cortex in the occurrence of PIH. Using quantitative indices obtained during SEEG (stereoencephalography) recordings in 38 patients, we evaluated the epileptogenicity, the spatial propagation, and functional connectivity between those structures during seizures leading to PIH. Multivariate statistical analyses of SEEG quantitative indices showed that temporal lobe seizures leading to PIH are characterized by a strong involvement of amygdala and anterior insula during seizure propagation and a more widespread involvement of medial temporal lobe structures, lateral temporal lobe, temporal pole, and anterior cingulate at the end of the seizures. On the contrary, seizure‐onset zone was not associated with PIH occurrence. During seizure propagation, anterior insula, temporal pole, and temporal lateral neocortex activities were correlated with intensity of PIH. Lastly, PIH occurrence was also related to a widespread increase of synchrony between those structures. Those results suggest that PIH occurrence during temporal lobe seizures may be related to the activation of a widespread network of cortical structures, among which amygdala and anterior insula are key nodes.

AbstractMolybdenum is an essential dietary trace element required for several critical enzyme systems. High intake is associated with toxicity in ruminants and animal studies. The proposed therapeutic use of molybdenum‐based drugs poses a potential risk for accumulation through chronic administration of therapeutic doses of this element. The current experiment was designed to study the effect of daily dosing of a molybdenum compound, bis‐choline tetrathiomolybdate (TTM), in Sprague Dawley rats using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐ToF‐MS) and two dosing levels of TTM for up to 3 months. To investigate if molybdenum accumulation was associated with tissue toxicity, histopathology, haematology and clinical biochemistry markers of toxicity were incorporated into the study design. There were no behavioural signs of toxicity to the rats, and no clinical or anatomic pathology was associated with treatment. The current data did show a progressive accumulation of molybdenum within the adrenal gland, kidneys, liver, spleen, brain and testes. Although this was not associated with tissue toxicity within the 3‐month study design, greater exposure over a longer period of time has the potential for producing adverse pathophysiological cellular function. Tissue toxicity, as a result of local excessive accumulation of molybdenum over time, has clear implications for the therapeutic use of molybdenum in humans and demands sensitive monitoring of tissue molybdenum levels to avoid toxicity. The current study highlights the shortcomings of conventional biomonitoring approaches to detect molybdenum accumulation with the goal of avoiding molybdenum‐associated toxicity.

AbstractGlutaric aciduria type 1 (GA1) is a rare neurometabolic disorder that can lead to encephalopathic crises and severe dystonic movement disorders. Adherence to strict dietary restriction, in particular a diet low in lysine, carnitine supplementation and emergency treatment in pre‐symptomatic patients diagnosed by high‐risk screen (HRS) or newborn screen (NBS) leads to a favourable outcome. We present biochemical and clinical characteristics and long‐term outcome data of 34 Irish patients with GA1 aged 1–40 years. Sixteen patients were diagnosed clinically, and 17 patients by HRS, prior to introduction of NBS for GA1 in the Republic of Ireland in 2018. One patient was diagnosed by NBS. Clinical diagnosis was at a median of 1 year (range 1 month to 8 years) and by HRS was at a median of 4 days (range 3 days to 11 years). 14/18 (77.8%) diagnosed by HRS or NBS had neither clinical manifestations nor radiological features of GA1, or had radiological features only, compared to 0/16 (0%) diagnosed clinically (p < 0.001). Patients diagnosed clinically who survived to school‐age were more likely to have significant cerebral palsy and dystonia (7/11; 63.6% vs. 0/13; 0%, p < 0.001). They were less likely to be in mainstream school versus the HRS group (5/10; 50% vs. 12/13; 92.3%; p = 0.012). Clinical events occurring after 6 years of age were unusual, but included spastic diplegia, thalamic haemorrhage, Chiari malformation, pituitary hormone deficiency and epilepsy. The exact aetiology of these events is unclear.

AbstractTwo water‐soluble binders of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and sodium alginate (SA) have been studied in comparison with N‐methylpyrrolidone‐soluble poly(vinylidene difluoride–co‐hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF‐HFP) to understand their effect on the electrochemical performance of a high‐voltage lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode. The electrochemical performance has been investigated in full cells using a Li4Ti5O12 (LTO) anode. At room temperature, LNMO cathodes prepared with aqueous binders provided a similar electrochemical performance as those prepared with PVdF‐HFP. However, at 55 °C, the full cells containing LNMO with the aqueous binders showed higher cycling stability. The results are supported by intermittent current interruption resistance measurements, wherein the electrodes with SA showed lower resistance. The surface layer formed on the electrodes after cycling has been characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The amount of transition metal dissolutions was comparable for all three cells. However, the amount of hydrogen fluoride (HF) content in the electrolyte cycled at 55 °C is lower in the cell with the SA binder. These results suggest that use of water‐soluble binders could provide a practical and more sustainable alternative to PVdF‐based binders for the fabrication of LNMO electrodes.

AbstractPrevious studies have explored effects of the conscious processing of emotional information on the interaction between emotion and executive control. However, the conscious processing of emotional information introduces “defensive responses,” which might limit the emotional effect. To avoid the limitations, this study aimed to explore the effect of automatic emotional processing on response inhibition among heroin abstainers. Individuals experiencing heroin withdrawal symptoms are not entirely exempt from the influence of drugs, and it is challenging to find heroin addicts in practice. Therefore, similar to previous studies, we recruited heroin abstainers in this study. In Experiment 1, for the heroin abstainers group, 30 participants meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited from a compulsory isolated detoxification center, whereas 30 age‐ and education‐matched participants were recruited from the community as the control group. These participants completed the Go/No‐Go task by supraliminal emotional priming. In Experiment 2, the heroin abstainers group comprised 33 eligible participants and control group comprised 33 eligible participants. These participants completed the Go/No‐Go task by subliminal emotional priming. We compared the participants’ rates of commission errors in the Go/No‐Go tasks. The rate of commission errors was lowest upon the activation of positive emotion. Moreover, under subliminal emotional priming, the rate of commission errors for the heroin abstainers group was significantly lower than that for the control group. However, regarding supraliminal emotional priming, there was no significant difference between the rates of commission errors for the two groups. These results suggest automatic positive emotional processing can enhance response inhibition among heroin abstainers. Moreover, under subliminal emotional priming, heroin abstainers had more enhanced response inhibition than the control groups. This study plays a significant role in understanding the effect of automatic emotional processing on response inhibition among drug addicts. This study also provides a theoretical basis for ensuring enhanced response inhibition among drug addicts.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundTo improve the rate of prenatal diagnosis of Congenital heart disease (CHD) in Kentucky, four fetal tele‐echocardiography sites were established at regional hospitals in Kentucky: Ashland in 2011, Paducah in 2014, Lexington in 2014, and Owensboro in 2016.MethodsA 13‐year retrospective review of medical records at Norton Children's Hospital was performed to identify patients with CHD who had cardiac surgery or intervention prior to one year of age. The rate of prenatal diagnosis prior to establishing any fetal tele‐echocardiography sites was compared to the rate of prenatal diagnosis after the sites were established. Independent t‐tests were used to determine if there was a statistically significant increase in the rate of prenatal diagnosis.Results1287 patients had cardiac surgery or cath lab intervention prior to one year of age at our institution from June 2005 to December 2018 and were included in the analysis. Seventeen patients were excluded due to incomplete medical records. The rate of prenatal diagnosis prior to the implementation of the first fetal tele‐echocardiography site was 13.8% and after the sites were established, the prenatal diagnosis rate was 39.7% (p < 0.01).ConclusionIncreasing the number of fetal tele‐echocardiography sites at small regional hospitals in Kentucky was associated with a statistically significant increase in the rate of prenatal diagnosis for patients less than 1 year of age who had cardiac surgery or cath lab intervention at Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville. Fetal tele‐echocardiography is an effective method to improve the rate of prenatal diagnosis in regions served by small regional hospitals with limited access to fetal echocardiography.
Stock liquidity and director compensation
Authors: Obonyo Tirimba 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThis study investigates how stock liquidity affects the compensation incentives faced by the directors on the board. The results show that the proportion of cash‐based compensation in the directors' compensation package increases when the firm's shares are less liquid: a one standard deviation increase in the bid‐ask spread from the mean is associated with a 3% larger fraction of cash in the directors' compensation package. The effect is more pronounced for firms whose management does not issue Earnings Per Share (EPS) guidance and for firms whose Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) themselves have higher pay in cash and lower pay in the form of equity. These results suggest the compensation incentives offered to directors in firms with illiquid shares result in the interests of shareholders being less aligned with those of the directors compared with firms with liquid shares.
Side‐viewing handheld confocal Raman probe coupled with an off‐axis parabolic mirror for superficial epithelial Raman measurements of luminal organs
Authors: Wang Jianfeng , Zhang Guling 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWe report on the development of a side‐viewing handheld confocal Raman probe coupled with an off‐axis parabolic (OAP) mirror for superficial epithelial Raman measurements of luminal organs. The OAP mirror realizes an effective numerical aperture of 0.36, a measured Raman excitation spot diameter of 130 μm and a depth of focus of 128 μm, allowing real time Raman spectra acquisition. The OAP mirror tilts the Raman optical path by 90°, making it well suited for superficial epithelium Raman interrogation of luminal organs. In addition, the probe results in no Raman interferences that may arise from transmission optics. The superficial epithelium Raman interrogation capability of the probe developed is validated through a two‐layer tissue phantom experiment. This work suggests the potential of the side‐viewing handheld confocal Raman probe coupled with an OAP mirror for enhancing the diagnosis of epithelial precancer and cancer of luminal organs.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe development of solid‐state batteries has become one of the most promising directions in rechargeable secondary batteries due to their considerable energy densities and favorable safety. However, solid‐state batteries with higher energy density and more durable and stable cycle life should be developed for large‐scale energy storage and adaption to the rapidly increasing lithium battery production and sales market. Although inorganic solid electrolytes (ISEs) and composite solid electrolytes (CSEs) are relatively advantageous solid‐state electrolytes, they also face severe challenges. This review summarizes the main stability issues related to chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrochemical aspects faced by ISEs and CSEs. The corresponding state‐of‐the‐art improvement strategies have been proposed, including filling of modified particles, electrolyte pore adjustment, electrolyte internal structure arrangement, and interface modification.
