Perceived unfairness increases desire for unique products: The role of need for social status
Authors: Cai Yuanyuan , Wang Xuehua 
Published: October 2022

AbstractConsumers often receive unfair treatment during service encounters, such as receiving less monetary compensation than peers, thus inducing perceptions of unfairness. However, no research has yet shown how this perceived unfairness affects consumers' likelihood of choosing unique products. We propose that when consumers feel that they are being unfairly treated in comparison with their group peers, they are more likely to seek unique products. Need for social status is proposed to mediate the above process. Perceived economic mobility is suggested to moderate this effect so that consumers with high (vs. low) economic mobility perception are more (vs. less) likely to choose unique products after being treated unfairly. We demonstrate these effects with six studies. Studies 1a and 1b reveal a positive correlation between chronic fairness deprivation and desire for unique products. Study 2a demonstrates the causal relationship between primed unfairness and desire for unique products and study 2b tests the effects of a set of potential confounds. Study 3 examines need for social status as the underlying mechanism. Study 4 further explores perceived economic mobility as the boundary condition in the above relationship. Companies can benefit from our findings by providing unique products or services to restore consumers' status and buffer negative feelings during such service failures.
Unlocking the myths of size expansion in China's large state‐owned enterprises: Theory and evidence
Authors: Shen Jim Huangnan , Li Weiping , Lee Chien‐Chiang 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis research proposes a theoretical framework to illustrate the incentives behind the exponential growth in asset size of China's large state‐owned enterprises (SOEs) in the past few decades, with results presenting three types of incentives that led to their expansion. (1) The business empire building effect. (2) The state predatory effect. (3) A state benevolent effect in which the state is also concerned with “social welfare” in terms of increasing labor hiring through a larger asset size of SOEs for the sake of social stability. The empirical evidence is broadly consistent with the theories proposed herein.

AbstractThe oligomeric amyloid‐β (oAβ) is a reliable feature for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Therefore, the objective of this study was to demonstrate imaging of oAβ deposits using our developed DNA aptamer called ob5 conjugated with gadolinium (Gd)‐dodecane tetraacetic acid (DOTA) as a contrast agent for early diagnosis of AD using MRI. An oAβ‐specific aptamer was developed by amide bond formation and conjugated to Gd‐DOTA MRI contrast agent and/or cyanine5 (cy5). We verified the performance of our new contrast agent with an AD mouse model using in vivo and ex vivo fluorescent imaging and animal MRI experiments. The presence of soluble Aβ in 3xTg AD mice was detected using GdDOTA‐ob5‐cy5 probe ex vivo. Fluorescence intensities of the GdDOTA‐ob5‐cy5 contrast agent were high in the brains of 3xTg‐AD mice, but relatively low in the brains of control mice. The GdDOTA‐ob5 contrast agent had higher relaxivity than a clinically available contrast agent. T1‐weighted MRI signals in 5‐month‐old 3xTg AD mice increased at 5 min, were prolonged until 10 min, then decreased 15 min after injecting the GdDOTA‐ob5 contrast agent. Our targeted DNA aptamer GdDOTA‐ob5 contrast agent could be potentially useful for validating the efficacy of a novel diagnostic contrast agent for selectively targeting neurotoxic oAβ. It could ultimately be used for early diagnosis of AD.

AbstractThe development of electro‐stimulated drug release devices is an innovative approach to attain the drug delivery in accurate doses at target sites in a programmed manner. In this work, novel electroactive nanocomposite hydrogels were prepared by encapsulating green‐synthesized polypyrrole (PPy) colloids within chondroitin sulfate (CS) networks during the self‐crosslinking of CS via N‐ethyl‐N′‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide chemistry. The structural and morphological properties of CS/PPy hydrogels were studied by Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and swelling kinetic measurements. The chemotherapeutic agent 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) was loaded into CS/PPy samples by hydrogel swelling method, or alternatively, by pre‐incubating the drug in polymer mixture before crosslinking. Different electrical stimulations can be used to switch ON and accurately tune the 5‐FU delivery from GG/PPy hydrogels. A single pulse potential of 5 V switched on the drug delivery up to 90% from nanocomposite hydrogel, in contrast to the low 5‐FU amount released in a passive form (< 20%). PPy electroactive behavior played a determining role as the main driving force in 5‐FU release activation. Cytotoxicity of hydrogels with and without 5‐FU was examined in normal and cancer cells. Considering the high cytotoxicity of 5‐FU, the ON/OFF 5‐FU release patterns evidenced the potential of CS/PPy hydrogels for electrically controlled drug delivery in implantable or transdermal drug release devices.

AbstractBACKGROUNDFungicides play a significant role in the integrated management of plant pathogens. However, the irrational application of fungicides with similar structures has led to development of cross‐resistance, therefore there is a need to seek novel fungicides with new structures.RESULTSTwenty‐eight novel sulfoximine derivatives incorporating nitroguanidine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as antifungal agents. The bioassay results indicated that most of the synthesized compounds displayed excellent fungicidal activities against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium graminearum, and Pyricularia grisea. Among these, compounds 6c4, 6c5, and 6c6 exhibited remarkable fungicidal activities against P. grisea, with EC50 values of 1.28, 1.17, and 1.68 μg mL−1, respectively. In addition, compound 6c2 displayed the most potent activity against S. sclerotiorum (EC50 = 3.64 μg mL−1). Further in vivo fungicidal activity screening against S. sclerotiorum demonstrated that the protective and curative effects of compound 6c2 were 98.1% and 91.3% at 25 μg mL−1, respectively, comparable to that of boscalid (94.4%, 89.6%). The preliminary mechanism study found that the hyphae of S. sclerotiorum treated with compound 6c2 was abnormal with mycelial collapse and membrane permeability increase. The present findings can help to develop new fungicides for crop protection.CONCLUSIONNovel sulfoximine derivatives containing nitroguanidine possess potential antifungal activity, and the unique structure may offer an alternative option for fungicide development in the future. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
Revealing the electronic, optical, elastic, mechanical, anisotropic, and thermoelectric responses of Sc2NiZ (Z = Si, Ge, and Sn) Heusler alloys via DFT calculations

Published: October 2022

AbstractRecent spintronics, thermoelectrics, and quantum computing technologies often desire different types of Heusler alloys because of their extensive uses and versatile properties. Although diverse experiments and theoretical efforts have been dedicated to several Heusler alloys for understanding their key properties, no detailed work has yet been performed on the unclear features of Sc2NiZ (Z = Si, Ge, and Sn) Heusler alloys. So, we aimed to clarify their electronic, optical, elastic, mechanical, anisotropic, and temperature‐dependent thermoelectric characteristics via density functional theory (DFT). All investigated alloys exhibit inherent metallic character confirmed by the electronic band analysis and the calculated Poisson's ratios. According to the obtained optical data, Sc2NiZ (Z = Si, Ge, and Sn) alloys can be used as efficient ultraviolet (UV) absorbers and proper infrared (IR) refractors. Sc2NiSi, Sc2NiGe, and Sc2NiSn alloys also demonstrate mechanical stability, ductility, machinability, and elastic anisotropy validated through the calculated elastic constants and their interrelated mechanical data. Notably, Sc2NiSn alloy exhibits the highest Seebeck coefficient with 120 μV/K at 300 K, and can be considered as a potential room‐temperature thermoelectric material.
Time‐varying sliding mode controller for over‐actuated systems with constrained and uncertain actuators in flight control applications
Authors: Tohidi Seyed Shahabaldin , Yildiz Yildiray , Kolmanovsky Ilya 
Published: October 2022

AbstractOne solution to the problem of distributing the control action among redundant actuators with uncertain dynamics is employing an adaptive control allocator. This paper proposes a sliding mode controller which exploits a time‐varying sliding surface to complement adaptive control allocation in the presence of actuator saturation. The proposed approach does not require error augmentation for tracking desired references, which diminishes the computational burden. Aerodata Model in Research Environment, which is an over‐actuated aircraft model, is adopted to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed controller in simulation studies.
Stability of networked switched systems in the presence of denial‐of‐service attacks
Authors: Li Dandan , Zuo Zhiqiang , Wang Yijing , Fu Minyue 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis article is concerned with the stability issue of networked switched systems which consist of only unstable subsystems subject to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. The stability analysis of networked switched systems in the presence of DoS attacks under state‐dependent switching is first presented. It is shown that the derived restrictions which differ from those in the existing work are imposed on DoS attack model. Specifically, the proposed conditions to characterize the duration and frequency of DoS attacks are state‐dependent and mode‐dependent. As a result, the ratio of total duration of DoS attack to the operating time of switched systems is higher than the previous literature. Furthermore, our result is extended to the stability of networked switched affine systems in the presence of DoS attacks. In the end, two simulation examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our work.

Published: October 2022

AbstractSoil test correlation is continuously necessary to affirm critical soil test values (CSTV) for specific nutrients, as changes in crop management and development of new plant varieties may change CSTVs. The objective of this study was to determine the CSTVs of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and corn (Zea mays L.) using three long‐term trials in North Carolina. Soybean was cultivated in 2020 and corn in 2021 in three long‐term trials established on research stations located in the Tidewater, Coastal Plain, and Piedmont regions of NC. In each trial, up to five rates of P (0–88.2 kg P ha−1) and K (0–186.8 kg K ha−1) were applied annually at planting. Soil and tissue samples were analyzed and yield measured. There was yield response to P in all site‐years. The average CSTVs of P for corn and soybean were 51, 66, and 14 mg kg−1 for the sites at Tidewater, Coastal Plain, and Piedmont regions. The CSTV of P for Piedmont (14 mg kg−1) differs greatly from the current recommendation for NC (52 mg kg−1). The response to K fertilization was observed only in three site‐years and the CSTVs varied from 49 to 93 mg kg−1, while the current recommendation is setting the CSTV of K at 85 mg kg−1. These results indicate it is necessary to develop further studies of soil test correlation for P and K in North Carolina to better estimate the CSTVs for the state.
Equivalent geometric imperfections for the LTB‐design of members with I‐sections
Authors: Stroetmann Richard , Fominow Sergei 
Published: October 2022

AbstractFor the stability assessment of members and structures according to EN 1993‐1‐1, the equivalent member method, the geometrical non‐linear calculation with equivalent geometrical imperfections or the GMNIA analysis with geometrical imperfections and residual stresses can be used alternatively. The second possibility requires a corresponding model for the cross‐section resistance. For the verification of lateral torsional buckling, bow imperfections e0 out‐of‐plane are defined, which lead in combination with the given loading in‐plane and the geometrical non‐linear analysis to bending moments Mz and torsion of the members. The amplitudes of the imperfections are highly dependent on the nature of the approach (e.g., scaling of the buckling shape, assumption of bow imperfections) and the verification method for the members. Within the framework of the scientific work supervised by the TU Dresden and TU Darmstadt, extensive parametric studies were conducted to calibrate imperfections for lateral torsional buckling based on the GMNIA. After determining the nature of imperfections and the design models for section resistance, this article presents results of these parametric studies and shows the calibration of imperfections for a standardisation proposal based on EN1993‐1‐1. The evaluation of the data in combination with the necessary simplifications for the design practice leads to appropriate definitions of imperfection values e0,LT and the necessary differentiations.

Case Studies of Data Projects
Authors: Farmer Jane , McCosker Anthony , Albury Kath , Aryani Amir 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThree illustrative case studies are provided of non-profit organisations’ data projects conducted by the authors, with partner non-profits, during 2017–2021. The case studies all use a collaborative data action methodology, but differ in the nature of datasets analysed, visualisations and data products generated. Case Study 1 included government departments and agencies and used datasets from public consultation, social media and news media. It generated timeline and topic visualisations about changes in the public conversation about family violence following a new policy. Case Study 2 engaged staff across several departments of three non-profits of different sizes and used operational data plus open public data to show the impact of mental health and youth employment programmes and to inform staff retention policy. Case Study 3 describes a data collaborative involving six non-profits and a bank that united to geospatially analyse internal data of organisations and open public data to examine community resilience. Overall, project participants benefitted from new learning about working with data and built relationships within and across organisations.
Data Capability Through Collaborative Data Action
Authors: Farmer Jane , McCosker Anthony , Albury Kath , Aryani Amir 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis chapter explains how data capability for non-profit organisations involves having the right skills, technologies and data management practices that match different organisations’ size, mission and contexts. Data capability is a holistic concept, and capability of organisations will flex over time and with changes in organisational goals, work and wider context. The chapter also presents a collaborative data action methodology to help non-profits build towards the data capability that suits their work and context. The collaborative methodology emphasises ‘learning by doing’ involving multi-disciplinary teams and diverse perspectives and addressing actual challenges of non-profits—at least in part—through re-using internal data. The collaborative data action methodology was developed and refined over time based on the authors’ learning from multiple data projects. It features cycles of analysing, visualising and interacting with data. Since collaboration is recommended, the authors provide suggestions about where and how to find data collaborators. The last section explains the significance of responsible data governance, with two key concepts that underpin being able to re-use data optimally—data consent and ethics—particularly explored. While ethics and consent are relevant for all data projects, they are particularly salient when considering advanced projects, such as those involving data collaboratives.
Activating for a Data-Capable Future
Authors: Farmer Jane , McCosker Anthony , Albury Kath , Aryani Amir 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe book concludes by summarising the goals and stages of building data capability for non-profits, considering data capability as a resource for corporate upskilling, the facilitator of a more resilient sector and social justice activism. The middle part of the chapter considers useful actions leading up to initiating data projects and ways to proceed after initial data capability is built. Options for how to access staff skills and technologies that may be beyond the investment of individual organisations are covered and a role for philanthropic organisations to support the sector is suggested. Current challenges in working with data are examined in light of emerging legal, structural and technological developments. Innovations are critiqued for their potential to address non-profit sector data analytics challenges. The chapter ends by reflecting on research issues raised from the authors’ data projects with non-profits and highlights avenues for future research.
Top-Yukawa-induced corrections to Higgs pair production
Authors: Mühlleitner Margarete , Schlenk Johannes , Spira Michael 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Higgs-boson pair production at hadron colliders is dominantly mediated by the loop-induced gluon-fusion process gg → HH that is generated by heavy top loops within the Standard Model with a minor per-cent level contamination of bottom-loop contributions. The QCD corrections turn out to be large for this process. In this note, we derive the top-Yukawa-induced part of the electroweak corrections to this process and discuss their relation to an effective trilinear Higgs coupling with integrated out top-quark contributions.
Regularity Results for Bounded Solutions to Obstacle Problems with Non-standard Growth Conditions
Authors: Gentile Andrea , Giova Raffaella , Torricelli Andrea 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we consider a class of obstacle problems of the type$$\begin{aligned} \min \left\{ \int _{\Omega }f(x, Dv)\, {\mathrm d}x\,:\, v\in {\mathcal {K}}_\psi (\Omega )\right\} \end{aligned}$$min∫Ωf(x,Dv)dx:v∈Kψ(Ω)where$$\psi $$ψis the obstacle,$${\mathcal {K}}_\psi (\Omega )=\{v\in u_0+W^{1, p}_{0}(\Omega , {\mathbb {R}}): v\ge \psi \text { a.e. in }\Omega \}$$Kψ(Ω)={v∈u0+W01,p(Ω,R):v≥ψa.e. inΩ}, with$$u_0 \in W^{1,p}(\Omega )$$u0∈W1,p(Ω)a fixed boundary datum, the class of the admissible functions and the integrandf(x, Dv) satisfies non standard (p, q)-growth conditions. We prove higher differentiability results for bounded solutions of the obstacle problem under dimension-free conditions on the gap between the growth and the ellipticity exponents. Moreover, also the Sobolev assumption on the partial map$$x\mapsto A(x, \xi )$$x↦A(x,ξ)is independent of the dimensionnand this, in some cases, allows us to manage coefficients in a Sobolev class below the critical one$$W^{1,n}$$W1,n.
Conjugations Preserving Toeplitz Kernels

Published: October 2022

AbstractWe study conjugations in$$L^2(\mathbb {T})$$L2(T)and their relation with kernels of Toeplitz operators on$$H^2(\mathbb {T})$$H2(T)space. Such kernels are a generalization of model spaces. We investigate properties of an inequality relation between two unimodular functions defined on the unit circle. This allows us to significantly strengthen previous theorems characterizing all$$M_z$$Mz-commuting and$$M_z$$Mz-conjugations leaving invariant model spaces to the Toeplitz kernels setting.
Behavior of microcapsules in FML under different pressure of manufacturing in autoclave
Authors: Ostapiuk Monika 
Published: October 2022

AbstractMagnesium alloys are the lightest available structural metals. The low density and high strength-to-weight ratio make magnesium and its alloys an excellent option for use in the automotive and transport vehicles. In the case of magnesium and its alloys, the corrosion phenomenon is a serious problem especially when it is connected with epoxy-carbon composite (CFRP). Poor adhesion can easily cause delamination at the interface. So in this the work was analyzing the influence of pressure in laminate manufacturing in the autoclave process of a magnesium alloy/CFRP on the stability and distribution of microcapsules and observation about delamination. It was concluded that the PEO layer with sol–gel improves the adhesion between CFRP and the MCs. Different pressures in the autoclave process promote porosity if a pressure lower than 0.4 MPa is used.
