Dyadic Relationship Quality (DRQ) – Describing the Development of Leader-Follower Relationship Quality: A Qualitative, Longitudinal Study
Authors: Wilson Julie 
Published: November 2022

For the last 20 years, Leader-Member Exchange theory (LMX) has been associated with the quality of relationships between leaders and followers, accounting for quality through the four dimensions of contribution, affect, loyalty and respect. This paper contributes to our understanding of relationship quality by presenting an extension to LMX theory. With a more comprehensive view of the development of leader-follower relationship quality than existing LMX theory, we propose the explanatory construct of Dyadic Relationship Quality (DRQ) development. The DRQ model demonstrates how trusting behaviours have hitherto been overlooked as the key to positive initial interactions. We show how performance and relationship quality are active dimensions of relationship development rather than outcomes of the relational process. The paper elaborates the experiential nature of leader-follower relationship quality by utilising a relatively rare methodology in LMX studies, a longitudinal qualitative study of leaders and followers in high-tech start-up organisations.

Published: November 2022

Purpose: This study’s objective was to describe treatment patterns of patients receiving then experimental drug tocilizumab for severe respiratory illness.
Methodology: It is a retrospective case series of patients receiving tocilizumab for COVID-19 at a 380-bed hospital between 03/01/202 and 05/31/2020. Treatment patterns for tocilizumab for this series of ICU patients was modeled using a Spearman rho correlation for ranked associations.
Results: There was significant variation in frequency and serial testing of inflammatory markers. There was no correlation between tocilizumab initiation and worsening respiratory status (r=0.19, p=.48) or between days since dosing and survival (R= -0.02, p= .95). No clear pattern emerged from tocilizumab administration during the pandemic.
Conclusion: Protocols for untested new treatments are needed to overcome the uncertainty physicians face during pandemics.

Aristophanes’ Lysistrata and Virgil’s Camilla
Authors: Fratantuono Lee 
Published: November 2022

Close consideration of several passages in Book 11 of Virgil’s Aeneid reveals the influence of Aristophanes’ depiction of his comic heroine Lysistrata on the characterization of the Volscian warrior maiden Camilla. Virgilian appropriation of Aristophanic lore is shown to elucidate and to offer a commentary on certain aspects of Camilla’s elusive, enigmatic nature, not least with respect to the poet’s presentation of the problem of civil war and of the status of women in Roman public life.
El examen minucioso de varios pasajes del libro 11 de la Eneida de Virgilio revela la influencia de la Lisístrata de Aristófanes en la caracterización de la doncella guerrera volsca Camila. La apropiación virgiliana de la tradición aristofánica sirve para dilucidar y comentar ciertos aspectos de la naturaleza esquiva y enigmática de Camila, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la presentación que hace el poeta del problema de la guerra civil y de la condición de la mujer en la vida pública romana.

Aim: To determine the response of seed priming and nitrogen levels on yield and yield attributes of sunflower under zero till conditions succeeding rice.
Study Design: Split plot.
Place and Duration of Study: Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Palem, between December 2021 and March 2022.
Methodology: A field experiment was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Palem, Nagarkurnool (District) during rabi 2021-22 to assess the effect of seed priming and nitrogen management on growth and yield of zero till sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) succeeding rice. The experiment was assigned in twelve treatments, laid out in split plot design with three replications. Treatments included were 4 treatments of seed priming methods (i) M1 = Control (no priming) (ii) M2 = Hydropriming (iii) M3 = Osmopriming with KNO3 @ 0.1% (iv) M4 = Osmopriming with NaCl @ 0.1% and 3 nitrogen levels (i) S1 = 100% RDN (ii) S2 = 100% RDN (iii) S3 = 150% RDN (RDN randomly placed in sub plots of the main plot.
Results: The results revealed that head diameter (16.4 cm), number of seeds per head (534), threshing percentage (79.0%) and seed yield (1961 kg ha-1) of zero till sunflower was significantly higher in osmopriming of seeds with KNO3 @ 0.1% over other treatments. Among nitrogen levels, head diameter (16.1 cm), number of seeds per head (551), threshing percentage (79.7%) and seed yield (1944 kg ha-1) of zero till sunflower was significantly higher under with application of 150% RDN over 100% RDN and 125% RDN.
Conclusion: Adoption of seed priming with KNO3 @ 0.1% for 12 hours and applying nitrogen @ 150% RDN improves the head diameter, number of seeds per head, threshing percentage which in turn increased the rabi sunflower seed yield under zero tilled conditions succeeding to rice.

ImportancePersistent pain is a common and disabling health problem that is often difficult to treat. There is an increasing interest in medicinal cannabis for treatment of persistent pain; however, the limited superiority of cannabinoids over placebo in clinical trials suggests that positive expectations may contribute to the improvements.ObjectiveTo evaluate the size of placebo responses in randomized clinical trials in which cannabinoids were compared with placebo in the treatment of pain and to correlate these responses to objective estimates of media attention.Data SourcesA systematic literature search was conducted within the MEDLINE and Embase databases. Studies published until September 2021 were considered.Study SelectionCannabinoid studies with a double-blind, placebo-controlled design with participants 18 years or older with clinical pain of any duration were included. Studies were excluded if they treated individuals with HIV/AIDS or severe skin disorders.Data Extraction and SynthesisThe study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses reporting guideline. Data were extracted by independent reviewers. Quality assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias 2 tool. Attention and dissemination metrics for each trial were extracted from Altmetric and Crossref. Data were pooled and analyzed using a random-effects statistical model.Main Outcomes and MeasuresChange in pain intensity from before to after treatment, measured as bias-corrected standardized mean difference (Hedgesg).ResultsTwenty studies, including 1459 individuals (mean [SD] age, 51 [7] years; age range, 33-62 years; 815 female [56%]), were included. Pain intensity was associated with a significant reduction in response to placebo, with a moderate to large effect size (mean [SE] Hedgesg, 0.64 [0.13];P &amp;lt; .001). Trials with low risk of bias had greater placebo responses (q1 = 5.47;I2 = 87.08;P = .02). The amount of media attention and dissemination linked to each trial was proportionally high, with a strong positive bias, but was not associated with the clinical outcomes.Conclusions and RelevancePlacebo contributes significantly to pain reduction seen in cannabinoid clinical trials. The positive media attention and wide dissemination may uphold high expectations and shape placebo responses in future trials, which has the potential to affect the outcome of clinical trials, regulatory decisions, clinical practice, and ultimately patient access to cannabinoids for pain relief.

Published: November 2022

AbstractPermanent magnets based on neodymium‐iron‐boron (Nd‐Fe‐B) alloys provide the highest performance and energy density, finding usage in many high‐tech applications. Their magnetic performance relies on the intrinsic properties of the hard‐magnetic Nd2Fe14B phase combined with control over the microstructure during production. In this study, a novel magnetic hardening mechanism is described in such materials based on a solid‐state phase transformation. Using modified Nd‐Fe‐B alloys of the type Nd16Febal‐x‐y‐zCoxMoyCuzB7 for the first time it is revealed how the microstructural transformation from the metastable Nd2Fe17Bx phase to the hard‐magnetic Nd2Fe14B phase can be thermally controlled, leading to an astonishing increase in coercivity from ≈200 kAm−1 to almost 700 kAm−1. Furthermore, after thermally treating a quenched sample of Nd16Fe56Co20Mo2Cu2B7, the presence of Mo leads to the formation of fine FeMo2B2 precipitates, in the range from micrometers down to a few nanometers. These precipitates are responsible for the refinement of the Nd2Fe14B grains and so for the high coercivity. This mechanism can be incorporated into existing manufacturing processes and can prove to be applicable to novel fabrication routes for Nd‐Fe‐B magnets, such as additive manufacturing.

Published: November 2022

AbstractFlexible and wearable sensors are highly desired for health monitoring, agriculture, sport, and indoor positioning systems applications. However, the currently developed wireless wearable sensors, which are communicated through radio signals, can only provide limited positioning accuracy and are often ineffective in underwater conditions. In this paper, a wireless platform based on flexible piezoelectric acoustics is developed with multiple functions of sensing, communication, and positioning. Under a high frequency (≈13 MHz) stimulation, Lamb waves are generated for respiratory monitoring. Whereas under low‐frequency stimulation (≈20 kHz), this device is agitated as a vibrating membrane, which can be implemented for communication and positioning applications. Indoor communication is demonstrated within 2.8 m at 200 bps or 4.2 m at 25 bps. In combination with the sensing function, real‐time respiratory monitoring and wireless communication are achieved simultaneously. The distance measurement is achieved based on the phase differences of transmitted and received acoustic signals within a range of 100 cm, with a maximum error of 3 cm. This study offers new insights into the communication and positioning applications using flexible acoustic wave devices, which are promising for wireless and wearable sensor networks.
Metastable Phase Cu with Optimized Local Electronic State for Efficient Electrocatalytic Production of Ammonia from Nitrate

Published: November 2022

AbstractElectrocatalytic nitrate (NO3−) reduction reaction (NITRR) is an inspiring route for ammonia (NH3) synthesis at ambient condition. The metallic Cu‐based material with low cost and high activity is one of the most promising electrocatalysts for NITRR. However, due to the weaker atomic H*‐providing capacity, the produced intermediate—nitrite tends to accumulate on its surface, leading to unsatisfactory NH3 selectivity and Faradic efficiency (FE). Herein, a novel and facile O2/Ar plasma oxidation and subsequent electro‐reduction strategy is developed to synthesize a kind of metastable phase Cu. Excitingly, the metastable phase Cu demonstrates superior NITRR performance to conventional phase Cu with high NH4+ selectivity (97.8%) and FE (99.8%). Density function theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the upshift of the d‐band center to near the Fermi level in metastable phase Cu contributes to the enhanced activity, while the relatively strong adsorption of H* facilitates the conversion from NO2*/NO* to NOOH*/NOH* and thus ensures high selectivity and FE. Furthermore, when evaluated as cathode material in Zn‐NO3− battery, high power density (7.56 mW cm−2) and NH4+ yield (76 µmol h−1 cm−2) are achieved by the metastable phase Cu‐based battery.

AbstractSurface‐engineered hydrophobic nanoparticles that can stabilize small gas pockets on their surfaces (i.e., gas‐stabilizing nanoparticles, GSNs) have been recently shown to be excellent contrast and cavitation agents for ultrasound theranostics. However, previously developed GSNs are not biodegradable, which limits their clinical translation potential. Here the development of biodegradable GSNs is shown by coating hydrophobically modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles with different protein solutions. It is found that these novel GSNs retain strong cavitation activity while rapidly degrading in simulated body fluid (SBF) or in vivo in days or a few weeks, respectively. Interestingly, GSNs coated with other stabilizing layers, Pluronic F127 polymer or phospholipids, demonstrated significantly slower degradation rates with only partial degradation even after a month of incubation in SBF. Next, it is shown that these biodegradable GSNs can be used to ablate tumor xenografts at lower ultrasound intensities, thus avoiding the side effects of high‐intensity ultrasound. Finally, it is shown that only tumors treated with GSNs and ultrasound can specifically enrich for circulating tumor DNA, which will improve liquid biopsies for understanding tumor heterogeneity and treatment response. Overall, this study details a simple yet effective method for preparing biodegradable GSNs with broad potential for applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy.

AbstractHerewith, an overview of the group's collaborative research efforts on the development and deployment of computational approaches to understand materials and tools at different length and time scales is presented. The techniques employed range from quantum mechanical approaches based on the density functional theory to classical atomistic and coarse‐grained force field methods, targeting molecular systems composed of a few to several million atoms at different levels of detail. These new tools and molecular models are presented to the computational materials science community so they can be used in more realistic molecular modelling studies of the properties of materials and their dependence on subtle modifications of their structures. The review concludes by presenting a selection of recent computational case‐studies oriented toward the understanding of the synthesis of materials, the interpretation of unexpected experimental results, the prediction of material properties, and the materials selection based on their characteristics for applications in areas such as gas adsorption/separation, corrosion protection, and catalysis.

AbstractIn the development of high‐performance organic thermoelectric devices, n‐type materials, especially with small molecule semiconductors, lags far behind p‐type materials. In this paper, three small molecules are synthesized based on electron‐deficient naphthalene bis‐isatin building blocks bearing different alkyl chains with the terminal functionalized with 3‐ethylrhodanine unit and studied their aggregation and doping mechanism in detail. It is found that crystallinity plays an essential role in tuning the doping behavior of small molecules. Molecules with too strong crystallinity tend to aggregate with each other to form large crystalline domains, which cause significant performance degradation. While molecules with weak crystallinity can tolerate more dopants, most of them exhibit low mobility. By tuning the crystallinity carefully, organic thermoelectric devices based on C12NR can maintain high mobility and realize effective doping simultaneously, and a high power factor of 1.07 µW m−1 K−2 at 100 °C is realized. This delicate molecular design by modulating crystallinity provides a new avenue for realizing high‐performance organic thermoelectric devices.

AbstractOwing to their remarkable electrochemical activities, 1T phase transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials have attracted considerable interest in recent decades. However, metastable 1T phases are difficult to prepare and readily change phases. Therefore, for the first time, a monolayer nanotubular 1T Ru dichalcogenide comprising 92% of the 1T phase is synthesized, which is the highest value ever obtained using solvothermal methods. In the tubular geometry, the 1T phase exhibits superior durability against various external stimuli and electrocatalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction. According to density‐functional‐theory‐based and molecular dynamics calculations, sufficiently curved architectures can change their bond identities to safely maintain 1T phases, hence providing a strategy for stabilizing metastable phases. The study results form a basis for extensively applying 1T phases and will stimulate interest for applying tubular structures for stabilizing metastable materials.

AbstractThe development of inexpensive, active, and robust nonprecious metal electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid media is highly imperative for renewable energy conversion techniques, yet greatly challenging. Inspired by the vanadium‐containing oxygen‐fixing enzymes in haloperoxidase in nature, herein, the atomically dispersed V sites anchored on N‐doped multichannel carbon nanofibers (designated as V@NMCNFs hereafter) are rationally designed as high‐efficiency electrocatalyst for the acidic OER. Substantial characterizations validate that the local coordination microenvironment of the V site is identified as an asymmetrical penta‐coordinated V‐O2N3 moiety with axial VO coordination, which is further theoretically substantiated as an energetically favorable configuration with a reduced OER energy barrier by the density functional theory calculations. Consequently, the well‐dispersed isolated V‐O2N3 sites with exceptional intrinsic activity and unique nano‐architecture furnish the well‐designed V@NMCNFs with distinguished OER performance in a 0.5 m H2SO4 electrolyte, as reflected by the ultralow overpotential of 196 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and remarkable long‐term electrochemical durability, representing one of the most impressive nonprecious OER electrocatalysts to date. The synthetic methodology for SAC preparation and concept of electronic regulation proposed in this work offer perspectives to aid the design of other functional SAC systems with regulated coordination environments for efficient electrocatalysis.
