AbstractWhile there have been numerous reports of long‐range polariton transport at room‐temperature in organic cavities, the spatiotemporal evolution of the propagation is scarcely reported, particularly in the initial coherent sub‐ps regime, where photon and exciton wavefunctions are inextricably mixed. Hence the detailed process of coherent organic exciton‐polariton transport and, in particular, the role of dark states has remained poorly understood. Here, femtosecond transient absorption microscopy is used to directly image coherent polariton motion in microcavities of varying quality factor. The transport is found to be well‐described by a model of band‐like propagation of an initially Gaussian distribution of exciton‐polaritons in real space. The velocity of the polaritons reaches values of ≈ 0.65 × 106m s−1, substantially lower than expected from the polariton dispersion. Further, it is found that the velocity is proportional to the quality factor of the microcavity. This unexpected link between the quality‐factor and polariton velocity is suggested to be a result of varying admixing between delocalized dark and polariton states.

AbstractPremisePhylogenomic datasets using genomes and transcriptomes provide rich opportunities beyond resolving bifurcating phylogenetic relationships. Monkeyflower (Phrymaceae) is a model system for evolutionary ecology. However, it lacks a well‐supported phylogeny as a basis for a stable taxonomy and for macroevolutionary comparisons.MethodsWe sampled 24 genomes and transcriptomes in Phrymaceae and closely related families, including eight newly sequenced transcriptomes. We reconstructed the phylogeny using IQ‐TREE and ASTRAL, evaluated gene tree discordance using PhyParts, Quartet Sampling, and a cloudogram, and carried out reticulation analyses using PhyloNet and HyDe. We searched for whole genome duplication (WGD) events using chromosome numbers, synonymous distances, and gene duplication events as evidence.ResultsMost gene trees support the monophyly of Phrymaceae and each of its tribes. Most gene trees also support tribe Mimuleae being sister to Phrymeae + Diplaceae + Leucocarpeae, with extensive gene tree discordance among the latter three. Despite the discordance, the monophyly of Mimulus s.l. is rejected, and no individual reticulation event among the Phrymaceae tribes is well‐supported. Reticulation likely occurred among Erythranthe bicolor and closely related species. No ancient WGD was detected in Phrymaceae. Instead, small‐scale duplications are among potential drivers of macroevolutionary diversification of Phrymaceae.ConclusionsWe show that analysis of reticulate evolution is sensitive to taxon sampling and methods used. We also demonstrate that phylogenomic datasets using genomes and transcriptomes present rich opportunities to investigate gene family evolution and genome duplication events involved in lineage diversification and adaptation.

AbstractAmniocentesis is the process of retrieving the nutrient‐rich amniotic fluid (AF) that encompasses the growing fetus in order to diagnose fetal diseases and developmental disorders. Currently, it is only performed on pregnant persons at risk and is invasive with the potential for infection and in some cases, miscarriage. A non‐invasive alternative is needed and could be developed using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). To develop such MRS sequences, ample testing and training are needed and could be most efficiently conducted on a phantom. We propose a protocol for creating such a synthetic AF phantom for MRS testing and optimization. The proposed AF is validated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) proving it produces spectra comparable to those in the literature. The results from this study can aid in developing a non‐invasive fetal diagnostic tool to replace amniocentesis.

Published: April 2022

AbstractCarbon fibers and their composites have attracted much attention in recent years and are being used in an increasing number of industries. However, due to the high production costs of carbon fibers and the complex manufacturing process of composites, their use in large series applications is still limited. The main cost driver in carbon fiber manufacturing is the production of the precursor fiber, with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) being the prevailing feedstock today. Approximately 50% of the production cost of carbon fibers is related to the precursor fiber. For this reason, the use of a new precursor material offers enormous cost‐saving potential. Polyethylene (PE) is a promising alternative to PAN due to its high carbon content, low cost, high availability, and melt processability. This study reviews the research and development activities on PE‐based carbon fibers. The manufacturing of the precursor fiber and its conversion process into a carbon fiber are discussed. The review also provides an overview of published information on concepts for commercial production of PE‐based carbon fibers and various cost models.
Electrolytic water technology based on transformable and amorphous liquid metal electrodes

AbstractHydrogen has important values in industrial manufacture, medical health care, and diverse energy application areas. Among the many possible approaches, convenient and safe hydrogen production from water electrolysis has always been a preferred in situ hydrogen supply technology. So far, many of the electrodes thus involved are based on rigid metals or conductive items which may encounter inconvenience or insufficiency sometimes. To achieve targeted release of hydrogen, appropriate administration of suitable flexible hydrogen evolution electrodes is the key. In recent years, gallium‐based liquid metals have emerged in the field of flexible and biological electrodes. Starting from this point, liquid metal is proposed here as a transformable amorphous electrode for hydrogen evolution in electrolytic water which may help mold new conceptual electrolysis and energy utilization ways. The electrochemical performances and flexible behaviors lying behind are investigated and clarified. According to the experiments, the catalytic activity of the liquid metal itself generally is not remarkable, but it would be significantly improved after being composited with certain active materials such as nickel. Further, the controllability, flexibility, and adaptability of liquid metal‐based amorphous materials which are unmatched by other electrode materials were evaluated. Overall, the motions of such shape transformable liquid metal electrodes could be controlled by electric or magnetic fields, and their deformations are compliantly adaptive to different spaces. This might easily expand the area of hydrogen evolution and lead to multisite in situ hydrogen production. The present study demonstrates the value of liquid metals in flexible energy systems and opens up more application possibilities for electrolytic hydrogen production.

Abstract

Increasing overlap between anthropogenic activities and wildlife can lead to problematic human–wildlife interactions. To manage these, an understanding of animal space‐use patterns, with sufficient temporal and spatial detail is required. Satellite telemetry can provide such detailed data; however, the cost of tracking units places a significant limitation on sample size.
Satellite tracks for 72 green turtles were consolidated through collaboration with multiple entities over 8 years at seven sites within a large industrial port contributing to an ecological monitoring initiative to minimize impacts of planned developments.
This study aims to determine the minimum number of satellite‐tracked green turtles required to represent spatial distribution patterns in the foraging ground and to evaluate factors underpinning differences in distribution and site fidelity metrics to inform appropriate management strategies.
An autocorrelated kernel density estimator was used to construct 95% utilization distributions for individual turtles during each calendar season. Percentage overlap between pairs of seasonal utilization distributions was calculated as a measure of short‐term site fidelity. Mechanistic range shift analysis was applied to detect significant deviations from range residency behaviour.
Green turtles exhibited spatially confined ranges and remained faithful to their foraging area for periods of up to 260 days. Range size was significantly different between microhabitats and study years. Only 16 individuals (22% of tracked turtles) performed significant range shifts, indicating that occupied areas represent important habitats, and most turtles are unlikely to adjust their space‐use in response to anthropogenic or natural disturbances.
Although this dataset represents an atypically large sample of satellite tracked individuals, representative data were obtained at only two key sites.
This study highlights the importance of evaluating clear objectives when sampling animals for satellite telemetry studies to obtain representation of sites, periods of interest, or age and sex cohorts.

ObjectiveTo provide guidance to rheumatology providers on the use of COVID‐19 vaccines for patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs).MethodsA task force was assembled that included 9 rheumatologists/immunologists, 2 infectious disease specialists, and 2 public health physicians. After agreeing on scoping questions, an evidence report was created that summarized the published literature and publicly available data regarding COVID‐19 vaccine efficacy and safety, as well as literature for other vaccines in RMD patients. Task force members rated their agreement with draft consensus statements on a 9‐point numerical scoring system, using a modified Delphi process and the RAND/University of California Los Angeles Appropriateness Method, with refinement and iteration over 2 sessions. Consensus was determined based on the distribution of ratings.ResultsDespite a paucity of direct evidence, statements were developed by the task force and agreed upon with consensus to provide guidance for use of the COVID‐19 vaccines, including supplemental/booster dosing, in RMD patients and to offer recommendations regarding the use and timing of immunomodulatory therapies around the time of vaccination.ConclusionThese guidance statements are intended to provide direction to rheumatology health care providers on how to best use COVID‐19 vaccines and to facilitate implementation of vaccination strategies for RMD patients.

AbstractObjectiveTo evaluate and compare the effects of three courses of different structural patterns of electroencephalography neurofeedback on predominantly inattentive attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD‐PI) and combined ADHD (ADHD‐CT).MethodsThirty‐eight ADHD‐PI and ADHD‐CT children were selected and completed three courses of different structural patterns of electroencephalography neurofeedback according to their ADHD type. Before and after each course, relative power value of electroencephalography, includingθ,β,α, SMR and their ratios (θ/β,θ/α), and eighteen integrated visual and auditory continuous performance test (IVA/CPT) quotients were obtained and compared. Data were analyzed by SPSS software, andp < .05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsAfter one course,θ, three IVA/CPT quotients in both types and two comprehensive quotients in ADHD‐CT changed significantly (allp < .05). After two courses,θ/α,θ/βand five IVA/CPT quotients in both types,θandαin ADHD‐PI, four comprehensive quotients, and four respond control quotients in ADHD‐CT varied significantly compared to before treatment and after one course (allp < .05). After three courses,α,β,θ,θ/α,θ/βand ten IVA/CPT quotients in both types changed significantly compared to before treatment and after one course (allp < .05). In addition, six IVA/CPT quotients in both types after three courses were significantly higher than those after two courses (allp < .05).ConclusionDifferent structural patterns of electroencephalography neurofeedback targeted for ADHD‐CT and ADHD‐PI were both effective and feasible. Three courses of EEG neurofeedback were most effective.

Published: April 2022

AbstractStevens–Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and purpura fulminans (PF) are all rare conditions. A combination of these 3 conditions together with a viral infection is very rare. A 52‐year‐old, previously healthy woman which developed SJS, potentially due to a reaction to CT contrast, although this is still unknown. This developed into TEN on day 10 of the initial admission, the patient scored 3 points on SCORTEN. On day 12 from initial admission, she developed unexpected multiorgan failure and PF. The patient passed away 2 days later, the autopsy demonstrates herpes simplex virus in the bladder and lungs on immunohistological staining. Our clinical case encountered the challenge of differentiating TEN and PF. The microscopic and immunochemical examination confirmed the clinical suspicion of PF but also a disseminated herpes simplex infection. We speculate the clinical route of this case started SJS and TEN, leading to superimposed infection with three different types of bacteria, confirmed in blood cultures, and a disseminated viral infection. The combination of all these diagnoses are very rare, no similar case has been described in adults to the authors’ knowledge. We recommend a prompt diagnosis and early recognition of both bacterial and viral infections to prevent the development of PF.

Published: April 2022

AbstractWater diversion rivers are the fundamental transport lines in water diversion projects. The changeable hydrological and physicochemical conditions lead to significant changes in biogeographical characteristics of microbial communities within river catchments. This study gives an insight into longitudinal patterns of the composition and diversity characteristics of microbial communities in water diversion rivers in the East Route of the South‐to‐North Water Diversion Project using 16S rRNA sequencing. A total of 937 743 microbial sequence reads are obtained and classified into 9178 distinct operational taxonomic units, belonging to 48 phyla and 424 genera, respectively. Along the water diversion line, obvious distribution characteristics of microbial communities could be observed in Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Exiguobacterium, CL500‐29_marine_group, Acinetobacter, and Cloacibacterium. The relative abundance of both Actinobacteria and CL500‐29_marine_group increases from the upper rivers in the northern region to the lower rivers in the southern region, while Firmicutes and Exiguobacterium show the opposite trend. Higher microbial diversity is found in the upper rivers of the water diversion line than in the lower rivers. Externally, redundant analysis indicated the spatial shift in microbial community is largely shaped by ammonium, total nitrogen, conductivity, and total phosphorus. Internally, longitudinal construction of the microbial community is mainly affected by species replacement.

Published: April 2022

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the nonlinear relationship between environmental, social and governance (ESG) and firm value (FV). The sample includes 38 Taiwan Stock Exchange listed high‐tech firms with ESG disclosure between 2005 and 2020. Quantile regression estimation results indicate there is a nonlinear concave–convex ESG‐FV relationship, which is also verified by theU‐test. Furthermore, there is a different relationship between the individual ESG pillars and FV. The nexus between the environmental and social pillars and FV are concave–convex, whereas the governance pillar has no significant effect on FV. The model in this research offers a valuable analytical framework for exploring sustainability reporting as a driver of performance in the high‐tech industry. Overall, we highlight Taiwan's high‐tech firms should ensure that both the costs and benefits of the ESG performance for maintaining sustainable development and stakeholder engagement.

AbstractBackgroundGastric carcinoma (GC) is one of the most deadly diseases due to tumour metastasis and resistance to therapy. Understanding the molecular mechanism of tumour progression and drug resistance will improve therapeutic efficacy and develop novel intervention strategies.MethodsDifferentially expressed long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in clinical specimens were identified by LncRNA microarrays and validated in different clinical cohorts by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR), in situ hybridisation and bioinformatics analysis. Biological functions of lncRNA were investigated by using cell proliferation assays, migration assays, xenograft tumour models and bioinformatics analysis. Effects of lncSLCO1C1 on GC cell survival were assessed by comet assays and immunofluorescence assays. Underlying molecular mechanisms were further explored by using a number of technologies including RNA pull‐down, mass spectrometry analysis, RNA immunoprecipitation, co‐immunoprecipitation, miRNA sequencing, luciferase reporter assays and molecular modelling.ResultsLncSLCO1C1 was highly upregulated in GC tissue samples and associated with GC patients’ poor overall survival. Overexpression of lncSLCO1C1 promoted proliferation and migration, whereas decreased lncSLCO1C1 expression produced the opposite effects. lncSLCO1C1 also mediated tumour resistance to chemotherapy with oxaliplatin by reducing DNA damage and increasing cell proliferation. Despite sequence overlapping between lncSLCO1C1 and PDE3A, alternations of PDE3A expression had no effect on the GC cell progression, indicating that lncSLCO1C1, not PDE3A, related with the progression of GC cells. Mechanistically, lncSLCO1C1 serves as a scaffold for the structure‐specific recognition protein 1 (SSRP1)/H2A/H2B complex and regulates the function of SSRP1 in reducing DNA damage. Meanwhile, lncSLCO1C1 functions as a sponge to adsorb miR‐204‐5p and miR‐211‐5p that target SSRP1 mRNA, and thus increases SSRP1 expression. Patients with high expressions of both lncSLCO1C1 and SSRP1 have poor overall survival, highlighting the role of lncSLCO1C1 in GC progression.ConclusionsLncSLCO1C1 promotes GC progression by enhancing cell growth and preventing DNA damage via interacting and scaffolding the SSRP1/H2A/H2b complex and absorbing both miR‐211‐5p and miR‐204‐5p to increase SSRP1 expression.
