An investigation was carried out in an experimental field of the College of Agricultural Engineering, University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, to investigate the effect of different coloured low tunnel shade nets and different mulches on water use efficiency and nutrient use efficiency of chrysanthemum. The results revealed that the values of daily evapotranspiration under different colours’ low tunnel shade net were less than the values of evapotranspiration under open field for all months. It is because of the green-house effect and low radiation. The values of ET during the seasons were lower under white-coloured shade net compared to open field conditions. The results indicate that significant irrigation water savings occur in chrysanthemums under different coloured low tunnel shade nets as compared to open field cultivation. It is also found that the chrysanthemum crop requires approximately 31%, 28%, and 23% less water under white, green, and black shade net compared to the total water required under open field cultivation. The highest water use efficiency was recorded with the white colour low tunnel shade net (28.78 kg ha-1 mm-1) and this was followed by the green shade net (28.64 kg ha-1 mm-1), black shade net (13.09 kg ha-1 mm-1) and lowest water use efficiency was recorded under open field conditions (10.58 kg ha-1 mm-1). Among the different mulches, the highest water use efficiency was recorded by the use of white coloured mulch (24.36 kg ha-1 mm-1) and this was followed by silver mulch (21.75 kg ha-1 mm-1), black mulch (20.82 kg ha-1 mm-1), and jute mulch (19.38 kg ha-1 mm-1). The lowest water use efficiency was recorded where mulch was not used (15.05 kg ha-1 mm-1). The highest nutrient use efficiency was recorded with the white colour low tunnel shade net (Nitrogen (N)=72.51 kg ha-1, Phosphorous (P)=12.37 kg ha-1 and Potassium (K)=73.84 kg ha-1 ) and this was followed by the green shade net (N=66.77 kg ha-1, P=10.28 kg ha-1 and K=64.33 kg ha-1), open field conditions (N=58.08 kg ha-1, P=8.72 kg ha-1 and K=56.36 kg ha-1) and lowest nutrient use efficiency was recorded under black shade net (N=51.60 kg ha-1, P=6.98 kg ha-1 and K=49.75 kg ha-1). Among the different mulches, the highest nutrient use efficiency was recorded by the use of white colour mulch (N=77.53 kg ha-1 P=11.74 kg ha-1 and K=73.20 kg ha-1) and this was followed by silver mulch (N=70.50 kg ha-1, P=10.61 kg ha-1 and K=66.86 kg ha-1), black mulch (N=65.08 kg ha-1, P=9.51 kg ha-1 and K=64.09 kg ha-1), and jute mulch (N=57.75 kg ha-1, P=8.96 kg ha-1and K=64.09 kg ha-1). The lowest nutrient use efficiency was recorded where mulch was not used (N=40.22 kg ha-1, P=7.11 kg ha-1 and K=44.44 kg ha-1). The results indicated that there is a bright scope for cultivation of chrysanthemum under white colour low tunnel shade net with white plastic mulch.

AbstractThis paper analyzes the energy‐saving potential of lighting, including its effect on heating and cooling, and analyzes the effect of the thermal performance of a building on the annual energy consumption of a classroom actively using daylighting. The subject of this study is M Junior High School, located in Gifu, Japan. This school has a classroom design with a sloping roof, allowing the installation of large windows from north to south. The window‐to‐wall ratio of 56% for the south wall and 41% for the north wall takes advantage of daylight. Simulation results of illuminance in the classroom were validated through comparison with field measurement data. The result demonstrated that daylight utilization decreases lighting electric power consumption by 66.6% when artificial lighting is controlled in the classroom. The results confirmed that there was no significant heat load increase for heating and cooling even though the window surface area was larger than that of a typical classroom. The sensitivity study showed that the thermal performance of the building envelope mainly affects the heating energy consumption, but it has no significant effect on cooling and lighting energy consumption. In terms of the thermal performance of the building envelope and the amount of energy saving by daylight utilization, it is necessary to consider the appropriate thermal performance to determine cost‐effectiveness.

AbstractOvarian carcinoma (OC) forms outgrowths that extend from the outer surface of an afflicted organ into the peritoneum. OC outgrowth formation is poorly understood due to the limited availability of cell culture models examining the behavior of cells that form outgrowths. Prompted by immunochemical evaluation of extracellular matrix (ECM) components in human tissues, laminin and collagen‐rich ECM‐reconstituted cell culture models amenable to studies of cell clusters that can form outgrowths are developed. It is demonstrated that ECM promotes outgrowth formation in fallopian tube non‐ciliated epithelial cells (FNE) expressing mutant p53 and various OC cell lines. Outgrowths are initiated by cells that underwent outward translocation and retained the ability to intercalate into mesothelial cell monolayers. Electron microscopy, optical coherence tomography, and small amplitude oscillatory shear experiments reveal that increased ECM levels led to increased fibrous network thickness and high shear elasticity of the microenvironment. These physical characteristics are associated with outgrowth suppression. The low ECM microenvironment mimicks the viscoelasticity of malignant peritoneal fluid (ascites) and supports cell proliferation, cell translocation, and outgrowth formation. These results highlight the importance of the ECM microenvironment in modulating OC growth and can provide additional insights into the mode of dissemination of primary and recurrent ovarian tumors.

AbstractThe carbon dioxide (CO2) cycloaddition of epoxides to cyclic carbonates is of great industrial importance owing to the high economical values of its products. Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have great potential in CO2 cycloaddition by virtue of their high atom utilization efficiency and desired activity, but they generally suffer from poor reaction stability and catalytic activity arising from the weak interaction between the active centers and the supports. In this work, Ir single atoms stably anchored on the WO3 support (Ir1–WO3) are developed with a strong electronic metal–support interaction (EMSI). Superior CO2 cycloaddition is realized in the Ir1–WO3 catalyst via the EMSI effect: 100% conversion efficiency for the CO2 cycloaddition of styrene oxide to styrene carbonate after 15 h at 40 °C and excellent stability with no degradation even after ten reaction cycles for a total of more than 150 h. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the EMSI effect results in significant charge redistribution between the Ir single atoms and the WO3 support, and consequently lowers the energy barrier associated with epoxide ring opening. This work furnishes new insights into the catalytic mechanism of CO2 cycloaddition and would guide the design of stable SACs for efficient CO2 cycloaddition reactions.

AbstractBrain‐inspired artificial neural networks and neuromorphic computing are taking space to a new height based on solid‐state memristor devices. Despite considerable progress already made, the use of lead‐free double perovskite materials with direct bandgap can be recognized as a significant paradigm shift in this field. Here, growth, thin film deposition, and analog electroforming‐free resistive switching property along with promising artificial synaptic and neural activities of lead‐free layered cesium copper antimony chloride (Cs4CuSb2Cl12 or CCAC) double perovskite nanocrystals are reported. Optical and structural characterizations of CCAC microcrystals (MCs) and nanocrystals (NCs) confirm the growth, the existence of direct bandgap, and <111> oriented monoclinic crystal phase of space group C2/m. Interestingly, both the MCs and NCs display an almost equal bandgap of 1.1 eV in thin film even though they have higher bandgaps of 1.3 and 2.2 eV in dispersion, respectively. However, devices of NC thin film exhibit superior memristor behavior along with emulation of various synaptic and neural activities due to having less number of defects. Finally, the analog modulation of synaptic weight using CCAC memristor, in terms of postsynaptic currents, during potentiation and depression represents a significant achievement toward hardware implementation of neural networks and neuromorphic computing.

Published: September 2022

Abstract3D carbon superstructures assembled from low‐dimensional segments can inherit the specific properties of their building blocks and gain certain unconventional advantages that make them attractive candidates for electrocatalysts. Furthermore, hierarchical pores and nitrogen doping are effective strategies to enhance carbon‐based metal‐free catalysts. Based on this, 3D flower‐like carbon spheres with a micro‐meso‐macroporous hierarchical pore structure constructed from 2D porous nanosheets are designed and developed using asphaltene as carbon precursor in this work. The high specific surface area and hierarchical pore structure of the prepared catalyst maximize exposure of the active sites and facilitate the penetration of electrolytes and the rapid transport of ions and O2, thus improving its oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity. It shows good ORR properties in both acid and alkaline electrolyte with Eon of 0.77 and 0.98 V, and E1/2 of 0.60 and 0.833 V, respectively. When the catalyst is assembled into zinc–air battery, it shows a specific capacity of 797 mAh g–1 and an open‐circuit voltage of 1.544 V. Furthermore, the assembled battery displays good cyclic stability with stable charge and discharge exceeding 150 h at 5 mA cm–2.

AbstractFlexible sensors with the ability to precisely detect the full range of tiny strain (less than 0.1%), small strain (within 1%), and large strain (≈50%) are in significant demand to satisfy the requirements for electronic skin applications. More importantly, the sensor performance is required to be accurate and reliable when operating in some unconstrained environments, such as excessive extension, high bending, torsion, and scratching impact. However, it remains challenging to meet all these requirements simultaneously in a single strain sensor. Herein, an ultrathin composite film composed of reduced oxide (rGO) and carbon tube (CNT) is prepared, and then transferred onto a modified elastomer polydimethylsiloxane surface that forms strong hydrogen bond interaction with the film. The as‐fabricated sensor achieves wide range and high sensitivity (gauge factor (GF) ≈ 105, 160, and 310 in the strain regions of 0–25%, 25–40%, and 40–50%, respectively). More importantly, the proposed strain sensor performs mechanical robustness, low hysteresis, scratch resistance due to the effective improvement of interfacial slipping and delamination. The sensor can be used to monitor human physiological information, including pulse waveforms in a variety of wrist postures and acoustic vibration signal (≈7 kHz).

AbstractMagnesium (Mg) and its alloys biodegrade safely in human body for implant applications. The major bottleneck inhibiting their clinical utilizations is the high corrosion rate. Modification with anticorrosive and bioactive coatings is an ideal strategy to break the bottleneck. In this study, a multifunctional coating constructed by Zr‐based metal–organic framework UiO‐66‐NH2(UiO) and ammonium trifluorotitanate NH4TiOF3(NTiF) bilayers (UiO/NTiF) is fabricated onto Mg matrix through facile solvothermal method. The inner NTiF layer can be designed to the adjustable crystal structure with different anticorrosion effects, realizing the controllable corrosion of Mg matrix. The outer UiO layer is capable to further boost the corrosion protection; meanwhile it endows the drug delivery property owing to the intramolecular porosity and functional groups of MOFs. The UiO/NTiF coating appears highly effective in controlling the corrosion and retaining the mechanical integrity of Mg matrix as well as maintaining high bonding integrity. The cytocompatibility assays demonstrate the enhanced cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation on UiO/NTiF coating. The loading/releasing behavior of ibuprofen molecule and density functional theory calculations are performed to investigate the drug delivery of UiO/NTiF coating. This study would shed valuable breakthroughs for design of functional coatings for biodegradable metals and promote extensive applications of MOFs in biomaterials.

AbstractTo simultaneously dispose bacteria, dyes and oils in complex wastewater, the construction of antibacterial, superwetting, catalytic and porous lignocellulosic nanofibril composites are introduced. As‐prepared CPA composites consist of Ag@TiO2 nanoparticles, lignocellulosic nanofibril and polyvinyl alcohol under crosslinking of glutaraldehyde. Specifically, a superwetting CPA membrane with oil contact angle (OCA) of 159° ± 2° is prepared by vacuum filtrating and freeze‐drying methods, while a superwetting CPA aerogel (OCA: 156° ± 2°) is directly obtained via freeze‐drying the nanocomposite suspension. Such CPA membrane has a higher oil‐water separation efficiency (98.95%), and CPA aerogel displays a better dye degradation capacity (98.8%) under sunlight. Notably, the aerogel can withstand 2299 times of its own weight without deformation in air, but squash 22% of its own height and return to its original state underwater. Modified CPA aerogel gains an opposite superwetting property with water contact angle (WCA) of 147° ± 2° and a stronger oil adsorption capacity (37.6 g g‐1) than modified CPA membrane (WCA: 151° ± 2°). Besides, CPA composites shows remarkable durability (toward acid, alkali, brine solution, and friction test) and excellent antibacterial properties (against S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli). Predictably, this strategy may significantly simplify and accelerate the purification of complex wastewater, and offer more options for different application scenarios.

AbstractAlthough low‐dimensional hybrid metal halides have emerged as promising light emitters due to their broadband emission originated from self‐trapped exciton (STE), the synthesis of lead‐free halides with high photoluminescence quantum yield remains a challenge. Herein, a series of new luminescent single crystals of antimony‐based metal halides [Na(DMSO)2]3SbBr6−xClx (x = 0, 2, 3, 4, 6) is synthesized. By optimizing the ratio of Br and Cl, [Na(DMSO)2]3SbBr3Cl3 exhibits an ultra‐broadband yellow light emission peaking at 606 nm with a full width at half‐maximum of 160 nm and a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 90.6%. Both experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations indicate that STE emission is responsible for the ultra‐broadband yellow light emission. Furthermore, blue LED chip‐pumped white light‐emitting diodes by using the yellow‐emitting [Na(DMSO)2]3SbBr3Cl3 are demonstrated, showing a correlated color temperature of 3948 K and a color rendering index of 85. Finally, a large‐size and flexible [Na(DMSO)2]3SbBr3Cl3 scintillator used for X‐ray imaging is prepared by a template assembled method, exhibiting a high spatial resolution of 15.5 lp mm−1 and a low detection limit of 285.8 nGyair s−1. This work highlights the potential of Sb‐based halides in solid‐state illumination and X‐ray imaging.

AbstractPhenanthrenequinone (PhQ) based Conjugated Porous Polymers (CPPs) are synthetized without and with the presence of fluorine atoms in the trisubstituted core benzene unit (CPP‐FPA and CPP‐PA). Furthermore, organic‐inorganic hybrid heterojunctions based on these CPPs and TiO2 as inorganic semiconductor are prepared (CPP‐FPA@T‐10 and CPP‐PA@T‐10, with the polymer loading ≈10 wt.%). The photonic efficiency for H2 photoproduction is 33% higher when the CPP has fluorine atoms. This enhancement is even higher in presence of 1 wt.% platinum as co‐catalyst. Thus, the Pt/CPP‐FPA@T‐10 hybrid (≈31.7 mmol g–1 h–1 and 11.7% of photonic efficiency) presents H2 production nearly twice than that of the nonfluorinated hybrid Pt/CPP‐PA@T‐10 (≈16.6 mmol g–1 h–1 and 6.1% of photonic efficiency) and 3.5‐times higher than that of the Pt/TiO2 (≈8.9 mmol g–1 h–1 and 3.29% of photonic efficiency) photocatalyst. Charge dynamics studies show that both hybrid heterojunctions exhibit a direct Z‐scheme charge transfer mechanism, and the presence of fluorine atoms in the CPP structure leads to an increasing charge separation lifetime which is in accordance with the better performance in H2 production. These findings on fluorine doping provide essential clues for the design of structure electronic engineered CPPs for energy conversion and storage technologies.

AbstractAs the surge for renewable and clean energy resources increases, new challenges emerge. One of the challenges related to the use of hydrogen as a clean energy source is safety. In this study, a microwave hydrogen sensor has been presented for detection of hydrogen leakage. An analytical model is developed and the performance of the sensor is investigated using numerical analysis tools. It has been shown that with optimal geometrical parameters of the sensor structure, a wide range of sensitivity levels depending on a wide range of Q‐factor can be achieved. Utilizing a palladium disk with a radius of 750 μm can detect hydrogen with a sensitivity as high as 30 MHz per % hydrogen when μm. Average error between analytical model and numerical results is 0.23%. With reference to this work, it is believed that more compact and sensitive microwave hydrogen sensors will be produced for future uses.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundGiven that subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) adherence in the literature is often studied in closely monitored trials, few studies report real‐world SCIT adherence. The purpose of this review is to assess SCIT adherence in real‐world settings.MethodsA literature search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus for real‐world studies examining SCIT adherence was performed. Paired investigators independently reviewed all articles. For this review, “persistence” was defined as continuing therapy and not being lost to follow‐up after initiating SCIT, and “adherence” defined as persistence in accordance with prescribed SCIT dose, dosing schedule, and duration. Article quality was first assessed using a modified Newcastle‐Ottawa scale and then converted to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality standards (good, fair, and poor).ResultsThe search yielded 1596 nonduplicate abstracts, from which 17 articles (n = 263,221 patients) met inclusion criteria. Fourteen (82%) studies reported persistence rates, ranging from 16.0% to 93.7%. Seven (41%) studies reported adherence rates, ranging from 15.1% to 99%. Five (29%) studies (n = 416 patients) collected original data on reasons for discontinuing SCIT, of which inconvenience was most cited. All studies were Oxford level of evidence 2b and of good (n = 10) to fair (n = 7) quality.ConclusionReal‐world SCIT persistence and adherence rates are poor, with the majority of included studies reporting rates <80%; however, they range widely, explained in part by inter‐study differences in measuring and reporting adherence‐related findings. Future studies on SCIT adherence may benefit from following concordant definitions of persistence and adherence in addition to standardized reporting metrics.
