Published: June 2022

AbstractHigh‐capacity alloying‐type anodes suffer poor rate capability due to their great volume expansion, while high‐rate intercalation‐type anodes are troubled with low theoretical capacity. Herein, a novel mechanism of alloying in the intercalative frameworks is proposed to confer both high‐capacity and high‐rate performances on anodes. Taking the indium‐vanadium oxide (IVO) as a typical system, alloying‐typed In is dispersed in the stable intercalative V2O3 to form a solid solution. The alloying‐typed In element provides high lithium storage capacity, while the robust, Li‐conductive V−O frameworks effectively alleviate the volume expansion and aggregation of In. Benefiting from the above merits, the anode exhibits a high specific capacity of 1364 mA h g−1 at 1 A g−1 and an extraordinary cyclic performance of 814 mA h g−1 at 10 A g−1 after 600 cycles (124.9 mA h g−1 after 10 000 cycles at 50 A g−1). The superior electrochemical rate capability of (In,V)2O3 solid solution anode rivals that of the reported alloying anode materials. This strategy can be extended for fabricating other alloying/intercalation hybrid anodes, such as (Sn,V)O2 and (Sn,Ti)O2, which demonstrates the universality of confining alloying motifs in intercalative frameworks for rapid and high‐capacity lithium storage.

AbstractThe development of high‐performance dopant‐free silicon solar cells is severely bottlenecked by opaque electron selective contact. In this paper, high transmittance (80.5% on glass) and low work function (2.92 eV) lithium fluoride (LiFx)/MgFxOy electron contact stack by tailoring the composition of MgFxOy hybrid film is reported. This hybrid structure exhibits a high conductivity (2978.4 S cm−1) and a low contact resistivity (2.0 mΩ cm2). The element profile of LiFx/MgFxOy contact is measured and the reaction kinetics is analyzed. As a proof‐of‐concept, this electron selective contact is applied for dopant‐free silicon solar cells. An impressive efficiency of 21.3% is achieved on dopant‐free monofacial solar cell with molybdenum oxide (MoOx)/zinc‐doped indium oxide (IZO) hole contact. An efficiency bifaciality of 71% is obtained for dopant‐free bifacial solar cell with full‐area LiFx/MgFxOy/ITO (tin‐doped indium oxide) transparent electron contact. It is the highest efficiency bifaciality so far for dopant‐free bifacial solar cells to the best knowledge. Both cell configurations with LiFx/MgFxOy contacts show excellent environment stability. The cell efficiency maintains more than 95% of its initial value after keeping in air for 1500 h. This work provides a new idea to achieve transparent electron contact, showing a great potential for high‐efficiency and low‐cost optoelectronic devices.
Soil chemical properties and wheat yields under different tillage and nitrogen rates in eastern Oregon
Authors: Awale Rakesh , Singh Surendra , Machado Stephen 
Published: June 2022

AbstractTillage and nitrogen (N) application influence soil‐chemical properties and crop productivity. In a long‐term (76‐yr) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–fallow system in northeast Oregon, we assessed the effects of tillage (subsurface‐sweep, sweep; offset‐disk, disk; and moldboard plow, plow) and N application rates (0, 90, and 180 kg N ha−1) on soil organic matter (SOM), soil‐chemical properties in 0‐to‐30‐cm soil profile, and wheat yields. Sweep and disk exhibited more pronounced vertical gradient in soil chemical properties within the 0‐to‐30‐cm soil profile than plow due to shallow soil mixing. Across N rates, at 0‐to‐10‐cm depth, sweep and disk had lower pH (0.60), calcium (Ca; 0.32 g kg−1), magnesium (Mg; 83 mg kg−1), and estimated cation exchange capacity (CECe; 1.8 cmol kg−1), but higher SOM (9 g kg−1) and aluminum (Al; 26 mg kg−1) than plow. Below 10 cm, plow had lower pH (0.67–0.83), Ca (0.29–0.31 g kg−1), and CECe (1.7–1.8 cmol kg−1), but higher Al (13–16 mg kg−1) than disk and/or sweep. Across tillage treatments and depths, pH, Ca, Mg, and CECe generally decreased, whereas phosphorus, potassium, and Al increased with increasing N rates. Wheat yields increased by 14% from N application but did not differ between 90 and 180 kg N ha−1. Sweep and disk produced 9% less wheat yield than plow. Long‐term N application and grain removal of basic cations resulted in surface soil acidification under sweep and disk, which if not remedied, can decrease wheat productivity in this region.
Investigating liquid‐fronts during spontaneous imbibition of liquids in industrial wicks. Part II: Validation by DNS

Published: June 2022

AbstractTo validate the experimental results of Part‐1, we conducted a two‐phase flow simulation of imbibition of a wetting liquid through 2D microstructures made of ellipses of varying aspect ratios. The flow simulation in the particulate microstructures, characterized by low (ellipse) aspect ratio, produced somewhat even micro‐fronts, thus replicating the sharp fronts at the visual (macroscopic) scale observed in Part‐1. Whereas simulations in the fibrous microstructures produced highly uneven micro‐fronts, suggesting the formation of semi‐sharp or diffuse visual fronts. Increasing the porosity from 50% to 70% resulted in solid‐phase clustering and led to further increase in the unevenness of micro‐fronts, pointing to purely diffuse visual fronts. The evolution of the saturation plots along the flow direction, obtained from area‐averaging of fluid‐distribution plots, pointed to diffusing of sharp fronts with time. The predictions matched our previous experimental and numerical observations, that is, the particulate media create sharp fronts while the fibrous media create semi‐sharp/diffuse fronts.

AbstractThe presence of measurable residual disease (MRD) is the strongest predictor of relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We conducted a prospective, single‐arm, phase II study in adults with B‐cell ALL with MRD ≥1 × 10−4 after ≥3 months from the start of frontline therapy or one month from any salvage therapy. Blinatumomab was administered at a standard dosing of 28 micrograms daily as a continuous infusion for up to five cycles and up to four additional maintenance cycles. Thirty‐seven patients with a median age of 43 years (range, 22–84 years) were treated. Twenty‐seven patients (73%) were treated in first complete remission (CR) and 10 patients (27%) in second CR and beyond. Eighteen patients (49%) had Philadelphia‐chromosome positive ALL and received concomitant tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. Twenty‐three patients (62%) had a baseline MRD ≥10−3. A median of three cycles (range, 1–9 cycles) were administered. Overall, 27 patients (73%) achieved MRD‐negative remission. With a median follow‐up of 31 months (range, 5–70 months), the estimated 3‐year relapse‐free survival (RFS) rate was 63% (95% confidence interval [CI], 43%–77%) and overall survival (OS) rate 67% (95% CI, 46%–81%). These rates were 51% (95% CI, 27%–70%) and 61% (95% CI, 36%–78%) in patients with baseline MRD ≥1 × 10−3, and 83% (95% CI, 45%–95%) and 77% (95% CI, 32%–95%) in patients with baseline MRD <10−3 respectively. The rates of adverse events were consistent with previous studies of blinatumomab. In summary, blinatumomab induced MRD negativity in most patients and resulted in high rates of RFS and OS.

AbstractOne of the structural uniqueness of arylnaphthalene lignans (ANLs) is their potential atropoisomerism, which may result in bioactivity discrepancy. However, the stable ANL atropisomers rarely exist in nature. In the course of our phytochemical study of Justicia procumbens, we isolated nine ANL glycosides (1–9) with four of them (1–4) being identified as new stable atropisomers. Their absolute configurations were determined based on the analysis of the circular dichroism (CD) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) data. The ANL compounds were evaluated for their antiviral potential as entry inhibitors against the infections of H5N1 influenza virus, vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) with 5 being the most potent one with IC50 values ranging from 0.0063–1.13 μM. The atropisomers did not display significant antiviral activity, indicating that a free rotation of the biphenyl aryl‐aryl bond could play a significant role in the antiviral activity of ANL compounds.

AbstractBackgroundTemperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) neurolysis of the posterior nasal nerve (PNN) area for the treatment of chronic rhinitis was previously reported as superior to a sham‐control procedure at 3 months postprocedure in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The primary endpoint was a responder rate of ≥30% improvement (decrease) for 24‐hour reflective total nasal symptom score (rTNSS) compared with baseline. Herein, 12‐month outcomes after active treatment are reported.MethodsIn this prospective, multicenter, patient‐blinded RCT, patients in the index active treatment arm were unblinded at 3 months and followed through 12 months. At 3 months, eligible patients from the sham‐control arm of the study were invited to crossover to active treatment. Eligibility criteria included rTNSS ≥6, with moderate‐severe rhinorrhea and mild‐severe congestion. The TCRF stylus was applied bilaterally to nonoverlapping areas in the region of the PNN.ResultsPatients in the index active treatment arm (n = 77) had a mean baseline rTNSS of 8.3 (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.9‐8.7). At 12 months, the responder rate was 80.6% (n = 67) (95% CI, 69.1%‐89.2%). At 12 months, the mean change in rTNSS was −4.8 (95% CI, −5.5 to −4.1; p < 0.001), a 57.8% improvement. The available initial rTNSS‐based outcomes in the crossover active treatment arm (n = 27) were following the same course as the index treatment arm. No serious adverse events and 8 adverse events related to the device/procedure were reported in the trial to date.ConclusionTCRF neurolysis of the PNN area is safe and the symptom burden improvement that was superior to a sham procedure at 3 months was sustained through 12 months.

ObjectiveIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with tenecteplase has been associated with better clinical outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with confirmed large vessel occlusions compared to IVT with alteplase. However, the utility of tenecteplase for the treatment of all AIS patients eligible for IVT has not been established.MethodsWe compared the safety and efficacy of tenecteplase versus alteplase in AIS patients by analyzing propensity score matched data from 20 centers participating in the Safe Implementation of Treatments in Stroke–International Stroke Thrombolysis Register. Patients receiving IVT with tenecteplase were matched with up to 3 patients receiving alteplase from the same center. The primary outcome of interest was the distribution of 3‐month functional outcomes. Secondary outcomes included the rates of patients with symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) in the first 24 hours, excellent (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score = 0–1) or good (mRS score = 0–2) functional outcome, and all‐cause mortality at 3 months.ResultsA total of 331 tenecteplase‐treated AIS patients were matched to 797 patients treated with alteplase (median age = 70 years, 43.9% women, median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score = 11, interquartile range = 6–17). Patients treated with tenecteplase had better 3‐month functional outcomes (common odds ratio [OR] = 1.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.18–2.00) with higher odds of good functional outcome (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 1.45–2.77) and a lower likelihood of all‐cause mortality (OR = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.27–0.67) at 3 months, compared to alteplase‐treated patients. No difference was found in the likelihood of the 3‐month excellent functional outcomes (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 0.96–1.78) and 24‐hour SICH (1.0% vs 1.3%, OR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.20–2.64).InterpretationIVT with tenecteplase was associated with better 3‐month clinical outcomes compared to IVT with alteplase in AIS patients, with no increased risk of symptomatic intracranial bleeding.

Published: June 2022

AbstractFunctional electrical stimulation (FES) driven leg cycling is usually controlled by previously established stimulation patterns. We investigated the potential utilization of a particular computational method for controlling electrical stimulation of lower limb muscles by real‐time electromyography (EMG) signals of arm muscles during hybrid arm and leg cycling. In hybrid arm and leg cycling, arm cranking is performed voluntarily, while leg cycling is driven by FES. In this study, we investigate arm and leg cycling movements of able‐bodied persons when both arm and leg cycling is performed voluntarily without FES. We present a neural network‐based model in which the input of the neural network is given by a time series of upper limb muscle activities (EMG), and the output provides potential lower limb muscle activities. The particular neural network was a nonlinear autoregressive exogen (NARX) neural network. The measured EMG signals of the lower limb muscles were compared to the signals that were predicted by the neural network. The neural network was trained with data recorded from four participants. Our preliminary results show notable differences between the predicted and the experimentally measured lower limb muscle activities. The prediction was good only for 60% of the movement time. We conclude that—while including arm cycling in the movement—simpler control modalities or further consideration of applying machine‐learning techniques has to be taken into account to improve voluntary upper limb‐controlled FES assisted leg cycling.

Published: June 2022

AbstractIn jüngerer Vergangenheit wurde bei klassisch feuerverzinkten Stahlbauteilen eine reduzierte Emissivität unter Brandbelastung nachgewiesen, die sich im Zuge der Heißbemessung gemäß DIN EN 1993‐1‐2 als vorteilhaft gegenüber einem ungeschützten Bauteil erweist. Im Zuge weiterführender Untersuchungen wurde nun die Emissivität von modernen Zink‐Aluminiumüberzügen, die sich durch eine in Abhängigkeit vom Aluminiumgehalt von den standardmäßigen Überzügen abweichende Schichtcharakteristik auszeichnen, anhand von Kleinteilproben bestimmt, wobei verschiedene Konfigurationen abgeprüft wurden. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich über alle Varianten, dass ZnAl‐Überzüge eine gegenüber Reinzink‐ bzw. quasireinen Zinküberzügen nochmals verbesserte, insbesondere bei höheren Temperaturen reduzierte Emissivität aufweisen. Bei Anwendung derselben zeigt sich die positive Wirkung auf den Feuerwiderstand von mit ZnAl‐Schmelzen verzinkten Stahlkomponenten in Form einer verzögerten Aufwärmung und damit einer im Zuge der Heißbemessung ermittelten höheren Tragfähigkeit unter Brandbelastung bzw. das Potenzial zur Reduzierung des Stahlprofilquerschnitts und damit zur Ressourceneinsparung in einer relevanten Größenordnung.

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Screen for adult anxiety related disorders (SCAARED) in Tehran.MethodThe present study was a descriptive‐survey method and a cross‐sectional method. The present research population consists of patients referring to hospitals and psychiatric clinics in Tehran, as well as male and female students in Tehran. The sample of the present study included 300 participants (150 patients with a diagnosis of anxiety disorders and 150 non‐clinical samples), who were selected by random sampling method. Inclusion criteria included age 18 to 50, minimum diploma, lack of mental retardation, and lack of acute physical illnesses such as cancer or severe pain. The participants, after completing the demographic questionnaire and conducting a Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐5 Disorders–Clinical Version (SCID‐5‐CV), completed the SCAARED and the Personal Wellbeing Index—Adults (PWI‐A). Finally, face and content validity and construct validity, test–retest reliability, Cronbach's alpha, and factor analysis were used.ResultsThe results of the present study confirmed the face validity and content of the present scale. A review of Cronbach's standardized alpha showed that SCAARED has a reliability of 0.966, and therefore, the Persian version of these questionnaires is a reliable tool. Also, the results showed a correlation between the two implementations of the questionnaire; in addition to the strong correlation at the level (p < .01) between the factors of the questionnaire and the factors with the total score, there was a strong correlation between the first and second implementation in four factors and the overall score. Therefore, it can be concluded that the SCAARED has good test–retest reliability. Also, there is a positive correlation between the factors and the overall score of the SCAARED with anxiety disorders based on Structured Clinical Interview for DSM‐5 Disorders (p < .01), which indicates the favorable convergent validity of the SCAARED questionnaire. There is a negative correlation between the factors and the overall score of the SCAARED with the PWI‐A at the level (p < .01), which indicates the favorable divergent validity of the SCAARED, and the results of exploratory factor analysis of the questionnaire were confirmed.ConclusionThe Persian version of the SCAARED is a tool with appropriate validity and reliability.
Managing and accounting for corporate biodiversity contributions. Mapping the field
Authors: Schaltegger Stefan , Gibassier Delphine , Maas Karen 
Published: June 2022

AbstractBiodiversity loss has been assessed by natural scientists as the key sustainability problem where planetary boundaries are exceeded most dramatically. In contrast to these findings, surveys among companies find that biodiversity receives least priority among all sustainability issues. This raises the question about barriers for corporate biodiversity management, available accounting and management approaches and the role of research to overcome these barriers as well as to motivate managers and enable change. This conceptual paper maps biodiversity management as an emerging research field and highlights the importance of management accounting to support effective corporate biodiversity management. We propose a framework for managers to assess what their impact is on biodiversity and what the impact is of biodiversity on their businesses. The framework helps managers to identify how their businesses are impacted by biodiversity and how they can contribute to stopping biodiversity loss and to regenerating biodiversity. The paper discusses key levers for corporate biodiversity contributions and deducts conclusions for research and practice.

AbstractActive ageing has become a policy concept that serves as an important response to the positive outcome of health behaviours, productivity, security, and life course. The objective of this article is to explore how community networks can enhance elderly health behaviours for active ageing in later life. A bracketing qualitative method was used incorporating a snowball sampling of 20 participants in Northeast Thailand. Data were collected using in‐depth interviews and were audio‐recorded for verbatim transcription. Data were subject to phenomenological analysis (data‐gathering, data‐storing, and explication of the data). Bracketing qualitative findings demonstrated that community networks (strong network ties, relations, participation, support, interactions, and connections) tend to enhance elderly health behaviours (living arrangements, daily living activities, and self‐rated health). The article suggests that community networks may be an important element to enhance elderly health behaviours of active ageing in later life.

AbstractNatural products with semi‐synthetic molecules displays higher biological activities, and creates new biological properties for the treatment of diseases. Although, natural products like artemisinin have been used as a traditional medicine over thousands of years, structure and biological properties of many natural products were investigated in the 20th century. Design and synthesis of new biologically active compounds including natural products have very critical roles to find novel drug candidates. Herein, novel thiophene/furan bridge artemisinin derivatives were synthesized by starting from artemisinin. Firstly, benzothiophene derivatives are synthesized, then Steglich esterification reactions give the new artemisinin hybrid molecules with moderate to high yields.
