Authors: Lin Xiao , Liu Zhen , Liu Tingting , Chai Yanjie 
Published: June 2022

AbstractSince the differences of individual pedestrians and the diversity of pedestrian‐vehicle avoidance behaviors in real life, it is important to consider the behavioral heterogeneity of pedestrians and vehicles in simulation. Most existing simulation models cannot generate personalized pedestrian‐vehicle avoidance scenarios. Taking personality and emotional factors into account, we proposed a simulation method to realize various pedestrian‐vehicle collision avoidance scenarios by adjusting the parameter of personality trait. In this study, drivers' yielding strategies were classified as careful and aggressive based on their different personality traits. For pedestrians, in addition to personality traits, emotional factors were also introduced to achieve more realistic speed control. The experimental results showed that the proposed method could generate personalized pedestrian‐vehicle collision avoidance scenarios in multiple traffic scenarios.
Study on the Effect of Electrolyte pH during Kolbe Electrolysis of Acetic Acid on Pt Anodes

Published: June 2022

AbstractKolbe already discovered in 1849 that electrochemical oxidative decarboxylation of carboxylic acids is feasible and leads to formation of alkanes and CO2, via alkyl radical intermediates. We now show for Pt electrodes that Kolbe electrolysis of acetic acid is favored in electrolytes with a pH similar to, or larger than the pKa of acetic acid, suppressing the formation of O2. However extended duration of electrolysis of acetate at basic pH results in loss of Faradaic efficiency to ethane, compensated by the formation of methanol. This change in selectivity is likely caused by the dissolution of CO2 near the electrode‐electrolyte interface, resulting in enlarged concentration of bicarbonate/carbonate. On the positively polarized, and oxidized Pt surface, these anions seem to inhibit homocoupling of methyl radicals to ethane. These results demonstrate that reaction selectivity in acetic acid (acetate) oxidation using oxidized Pt electrodes is determined by the pH and the anionic composition of the electrolyte.

AbstractTransformation of biomass‐derived furans to value‐added chemicals is considered to be an efficient way to produce raw materials for application in chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, we report a facile pathway for the catalytic hydrogenation of 2‐furoic acid and its derivatives to tetrahydrofuroic acids with excellent yields (87%–95 %) in water over the Pd/CoOx catalyst under mild reaction condition. Experimental findings inferred that the observed efficient catalytic activity of Pd/CoOx can be attributed to the cooperative effect of Pd nanoparticles (∼3.5 nm) and the CoOx support. Notably, catalysts with naked Pd nanoparticles or Pd immobilized over supports other than CoOx were less active for the studied catalytic transformation. Further, the studied catalytic transformation can be advantageously utilized for bulk‐scale production of tetrahydro‐2‐furoic acid and tetrahydrofuran‐2,5‐dicarboxylic acid from the respective furoic acid precursors. Moreover, the studied Pd/CoOx catalyst exhibited appreciably good long‐term stability for over 60 h during bulk‐scale reaction and can be recycled for five consecutive catalytic runs during the production of tetrahydro‐2‐furoic acid from 2‐furoic acid.
The canonical partial least squares approach to analysing multiway datasets—N‐CPLS

Published: June 2022

AbstractMultiway datasets arise in various situations, typically from specialised measurement technologies, as a result of measuring data over varying conditions in multiple dimensions or simply as sets of possibly multichannel images. When such measurements are intended for predicting some external properties, the amount of methods available is limited. The multilinear partial least squares (PLS) is among the few available options. In the present work, we generalise the canonical partial least squares framework to handle multiway data. We demonstrate the resulting multiway data analysis method to be capable of building parsimonious models, encompassing continuous and categorical responses—both single and multiple—in a unifying framework. This also enables inclusion of additional responses/information that can contribute to more parsimonious models. Finally, we achieve a considerable advantage in computational speed without sacrificing numerical precision by deflating the responses and orthogonalising scores rather than the more costly deflations of the predictor data.

AbstractSingle crystals of 2D coordination network {Cu2L2 ⋅ (DMF)3(H2O)3}n (1‐DMF) were prepared by reaction of commercial reagents 3‐formyl‐4‐hydroxybenzoic acid (H2L) and Cu(NO3)2 in dimethylformamide (DMF). The single‐crystal structure shows two distinct Cu(II) coordination environments arising from the separate coordination of Cu(II) cations to the carboxylate and salicylaldehydato moieties on the linker, with 1D channels running through the structure. Flexibility is exhibited on solvent exchange with ethanol and tetrahydrofuran, while porosity and the unique overall connectivity of the structure are retained. The activated material exhibits type I gas sorption behaviour and a BET surface area of 950 m2 g−1 (N2, 77 K). Notably, the framework adsorbs negligible quantities of CH4 compared with CO2 and the C2Hn hydrocarbons. It exhibits exceptional selectivity for C2H2/CH4 and C2H2/C2Hn, which has applicability in separation technologies for the isolation of C2H2.

AbstractSynthesis of three types of purpose‐designed mannosylerythritol lipid (MEL)‐D analogues with decanoyl groups, β‐GlcEL‐D, α‐GlcEL‐D, and α‐MEL‐D, was accomplished utilizing our boron‐mediated aglycon delivery (BMAD) methods. Their self‐assembling properties, recovery effects on damaged skin cells, and antibacterial activity were evaluated. It was revealed, for the first time, that α‐GlcEL‐D and α‐MEL‐D only generated giant vesicles, indicating that slight differences in the steric configuration of an erythritol moiety and fatty acyl chains affect the ability to form vesicles. Analogue α‐MEL‐D exhibited significant recovery effects on damaged skin cells. Furthermore, α‐MEL‐D exhibited antibacterial activity as high as that for MEL‐D, indicating that α‐MEL‐D is a promising artificial sugar‐based material candidate for enhancing the barrier function of the stratum corneum, superior to a known cosmetic ingredient, and possesses antibacterial activity.

Comprehensive SummaryThe porphyrin‐based copolymer PZnTPP‐SFX is designed and synthesized by alternating porphyrin and spiro[fluorene‐9,9'‐xanthene] via Suzuki copolymerization. A simple memristor structure of ITO/ZnTPP‐SFX/AlOx/Al was fabricated by spin‐coating process. The conventional synaptic plasticity is emulated using the single memristor including nonlinear transmission characteristics, spike‐timing dependent plasticity and spike‐rate dependent plasticity. New spike‐voltage dependent plasticity is also found in the memristor which can selectively perform potentiation and depression behaviors at a unipolar voltage. Compared with the device performance of uncoordinated metalloporphyrin polymer, it was found that oxygen vacancies diffuse and migrate into PZnTPP‐SFX layer with the assist of coordination metal. This study suggests that porphyrin‐based polymers have great promise for synaptic simulation of artificial neural network.

Published: June 2022

AbstractZeolite‐supported metal catalysts have important applications in various catalytic reactions, but unveiling their atomic‐scale structures is always a grand challenge. The developed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization techniques, e.g., integrated differential‐phase contrast (iDPC) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is emerging as a powerful tool for visualizing the electron beam‐sensitive materials at atomic resolution, thus, providing new opportunities for imaging the exact configurations of metal species in the various channels of zeolites. This emerging topic summarizes recent progress utilizing iDPC‐STEM‐related technique for determination of the structures of metal species in zeolites that should offer insights into the structure‐property relationships of zeolite‐supported metal catalysts. A brief perspective about the new TEM technique is also presented, showing prospects in this field that will stimulate further scientific research in zeolite‐supported metal catalysts.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundPediatric sarcomas are divided into two major groups of soft‐tissue sarcomas (STSs) and malignant bone tumors (MBTs).AimsThe aim of the present study was to determine the incidence and survival rate of STSs and MBTs in the Iranian population based on diagnosis date, gender, age, and histological types.Methods and ResultsData was retrieved from Iran National Cancer Registry between 2008 and 2015. The dataset was classified according to the third edition of the International Classification of Childhood Cancer. The survival information was merely available for 291 (21% of total data), including 142 (49%) MBTs and 149 (51%) STSs. The age‐standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) and five‐year survival rates were calculated.ConclusionThe present study is the first comprehensive study of pediatric sarcomas in Iran, in which a lower incidence and survival rate of MBTs and STSs compared with high‐income countries were found. However, the survival rates of these malignancies were higher in high‐income countries compared to Iran. This study showed the need to improve the quantity and quality of the population‐based registry in Iran for acquiring progress in the prevention and control of sarcomas.

AbstractBackgroundChildhood Hodgkin lymphoma survivors suffer from long‐term effects decades after treatment completion with a prevalence of pulmonary dysfunction of up to 65.2%.AimsThis study explored the early trajectory of pulmonary function in pediatric cancer patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who received pulmonary toxic therapy.Methods and ResultsIn this single‐center, 20‐year retrospective cohort study, we included patients who were <18 years old at diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma between January 1994 and December 2014, and received bleomycin or thoracic radiation. We measured pulmonary function and reported on percent predicted values for forced expiratory volume in 1 s, total lung capacity, and diffusing capacity of the lungs. We used linear mixed models to identify the association of clinical factors with longitudinal changes in lung function at time points before and after treatment completion. Of 80 children who met inclusion criteria, all were treated with bleomycin, and 83.8% received thoracic radiation. More than half (51.2%) of patients had any abnormalities in lung function measures during the study observation period which averaged 24.2 months (±31.1SD). Females, younger age at diagnosis and treatment with radiation were associated with lower lung function measurements at various time points. While the majority of children experienced a recovery of their lung function within 1–2 years after treatment completion, some children with these risk factors did not.ConclusionPulmonary function abnormalities begin early in children treated for Hodgkin lymphoma. While the majority of children demonstrate a slow and continuous improvement in lung function back to baseline over time, we recommend routine asymptomatic screening of pulmonary function in certain childhood cancer survivors, particularly females, those diagnosed young and patients who received radiation therapy.

AbstractObjectivesImmune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease characterised by impaired platelet production and increased platelet destruction. However, the involvement of neutrophils in ITP is yet to be explored.MethodsB‐cell activating factor (BAFF) expression and activation markers of neutrophils, as well as activation of platelets in ITP patients and healthy controls were measured. The interaction of CD62P on platelets and BAFF in neutrophils was analysed by correlation analysis and verified by co‐culture. The effects of neutrophils on apoptosis of acquired immune cells were evaluated in co‐culture systems with or without belimumab.ResultsThe BAFF expression and activation of neutrophils were increased in active ITP patients. BAFF levels in neutrophils were positively correlated with CD62P+ platelets and neutrophils produced increased BAFF by interfering with CD62P on platelets. Neutrophils inhibited the apoptosis of CD4+, CD8+ and CD19+ cells dependent on BAFF levels, and belimumab could interrupt the effects of neutrophils.ConclusionsNeutrophils were overactivated in ITP patients and participated in the progression of disease by producing excessive BAFF, which could be regulated by CD62P on platelets. Targeting BAFF by belimumab may be a novel potential therapy for ITP.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundIdentifying predictors of poor postoperative outcomes is crucial for planning personalized pain treatments. The aim of this study was to examine pain outcomes using cluster analysis in N = 2678 patients from the PAIN‐OUT registry at first postoperative day.MethodsIndicator variables of the clustering analysis assessed multiple domains, such as clinical and surgical conditions, analgesic‐anaesthetic variables, desire for more pain treatment and outcome variables of the International Pain Outcome Questionnaire (IPO) summarized as factor scores.ResultsTwo‐step cluster identified the three‐cluster solution as the optimal. Two empirical groups (C1 and C2) included patients with good postoperative outcomes discriminated by peripheral nerve block use, while the other cluster (C3) grouped patients with the worst outcomes, where all patients desired more pain treatment. C3 comprised about 20% of the participants, mostly lower limb, abdominal and spine procedures. The best predictors of belonging to C3 included younger age, being male, preoperative opioid use, bone and fracture reduction procedures, institution, number of comorbidities and morphine equivalents in the recovery room.ConclusionsIPO factor scores can be used to select pain outcomes phenotypes in large clinical databases. Most of the predictors were present before the recovery period so perioperative planning should focus in the preoperative and intraoperative periods.SignificanceImprovement of postoperative pain requires assessment methods that go beyond pain intensity scores. We perform a cluster analysis among PAIN‐OUT patients that revealed a cluster of vulnerable postoperative patients, using a novel composite measure of postoperative outcomes: the factor scores of the International Pain Outcomes Questionnaire. By changing the focus from pain intensity to multidimensional pain outcomes, male gender and number of comorbidities appeared as new risk factors for worse postoperative outcomes. The study also identified procedures that require urgent quality improvements.
Practical strategies for generalized extreme value‐based regression models for extremes
Authors: Castro‐Camilo Daniela , Huser Raphaël , Rue Håvard 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is the only possible limiting distribution of properly normalized maxima of a sequence of independent and identically distributed random variables. As such, it has been widely applied to approximate the distribution of maxima over blocks. In these applications, GEV properties such as finite lower endpoint when the shape parameter is positive or the loss of moments due to the magnitude of are inherited by the finite‐sample maxima distribution. The extent to which these properties are realistic for the data at hand has been widely ignored. Motivated by these overlooked consequences in a regression setting, we here make three contributions. First, we propose a blended GEV (bGEV) distribution, which smoothly combines the left tail of a Gumbel distribution (GEV with ) with the right tail of a Fréchet distribution (GEV with ). Our resulting distribution has, therefore, unbounded support. Second, we proposed a principled method called property‐preserving penalized complexity (PC) prior to decide on the existence of the GEV distribution first and second moments a priori. Third, we propose a reparametrization of the GEV distribution that provides a more natural interpretation of the (possibly covariate‐dependent) model parameters, which in turn helps define meaningful priors. We implement the bGEV distribution with the new parameterization and the PC prior approach in the R‐INLA package to make it readily available to users. We illustrate our methods with a simulation study that reveals that the GEV and bGEV distributions are comparable when estimating the right tail under large‐sample settings. Moreover, some small‐sample settings show that the bGEV fit slightly outperforms the GEV fit. Finally, we conclude with an application to NO pollution levels in California that illustrates the suitability of the new parameterization and the PC prior approach in the Bayesian framework.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe realization of the thermoregulating function of electronic skin (e‐skin) by simulating the human temperature perception system can greatly improve the intelligence of the e‐skin. Here, we report a thermoregulating e‐skin that fits on the surface of a prosthetic limb based on a hybrid structure consisting of a flexible thermoelectric device and a phase‐change heat sink. The hybrid e‐skin possesses outstanding temperature adaptability similar to that of the human body; it can maintain the surface temperature at 35°C in environmental temperatures ranging from 10 to 45°C. The power expenditure of the e‐skin is essentially the same as the energy required by the human body to regulate temperature and is only 14.22 mW cm−2 in the thermoneutral zone. Thermoregulation based on this e‐skin can greatly improve the temperature distribution of the target surface, providing a promising solution for the biomimetic thermoregulation of robots and the next generation of intelligent prostheses.image

Authors: Bin Rahman A. N. M. Rubaiyath , Zhang Jianhua 
Published: June 2022

AbstractRice production and research have met unprecedented challenges in recent years. Yield and total production have plateaued for many years in some major producing rice‐producing countries while the demand from populations in poverty is ever increasing. For example, more than 100 million additional people became extremely poor, mostly from Asia and sub‐Saharan Africa in 2020 alone. Rice is not only the calorie source for half of the global population but also the key staple food for the world's poorest and undernourished people living in Asia and Africa. In this review, we have analysed the trends in rice research in the past three decades, particularly on the mega‐projects that attempted to revolutionize rice yield, sustainability and quality of both Asian (Oryza sativa) and African (O. glaberrima) rice, with their impact on rice cultivation. We have also analysed the trends in population growth, rice cultivation, production, price and consumption along with their projections for 2030 and beyond. Furthermore, we have analysed recent trends in variety release using Bangladesh as an example. Finally, we have identified the future challenges and priorities of rice research.

AbstractMonitoring observations of solar microwave fluxes and their polarization began in Japan during the 1950s at Toyokawa and Mitaka. At present (April 2022), monitoring observations continues with the Nobeyama Radio Polarimeters (NoRP) at the Nobeyama campus of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ). In this paper, we present a brief history of the solar microwave monitoring observations preceding those now carried out by NoRP. We then review the solar microwave flux and polarization measurements obtained at Toyokawa and Nobeyama, and their metadata. The datasets are publicly provided by the Solar Data Archive System (SDAS) operated by the Astronomy Data Center of the NAOJ, via http (https://solar.nro.nao.ac.jp/norp/) and FTP (ftp://solar‐pub.nao.ac.jp/pub/nsro/norp/) protocols.
