Abstract

Composite polymer electrolytes are systems of choice for future solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs). Poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) is among the most interesting matrices to develop new generation quasi-solid electrolytes (QSEs). Here it is reported on nanocomposites made of PVDF-HFP and pegylated SiO2 nanoparticles. Silica-based hybrid nanofillers are obtained by grafting chains of poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEG) with different molecular weight on the surface of silica nanoparticles. The functionalized nanofiller improves the mechanical, transport and electrochemical properties of the QSEs, which show good ionic conductivity values and high resistance against dendrite penetration, ensuring boosted long and safe device operation. The most promising result is obtained by dispersing 5 wt% of SiO2 functionalized with short PEG chains (PEG750, Mw = 750 g mol−1) in the PVDF-HFP matrix with an ease solvent-casting procedure. It shows ionic conductivity of 0.1 mS cm−1 at 25 °C, more than 250 h resistance to stripping/plating, and impressive results during cycling tests in LMB with LiFePO4 cathode.

Abstract

This publication presents a newly created map of the seafloor of Linosa, a volcanic island located in the Sicily Channel (Mediterranean Sea). The seafloor of Linosa was previously surveyed using geophysical and ground-truth data (in 2016 and 2017). Linosa is regarded as a "sentinel area" for alien species and worldwide environmental changes because of its geographical location, making it worthy of particular attention. The predominant habitats found in Linosa have been identified as three priority habitats: Posidonia oceanica meadows, rhodolith beds, and coralligenous habitats, which encompass extensive coral forests. Another crucial environmental indicator is the assemblages of benthic foraminifera, which were previously studied in this area to analyse their correlations with the topography of the seafloor. Hence, all the accessible data was gathered to create a novel comprehensive map of the seabed (at a scale of 1:15,000), with the objective of displaying and highlighting the abundant marine biodiversity of Linosa.

10. Role of solvation model on the stability of oxygenates on Pt(111): A comparison between microsolvation, extended bilayer, and extended metal/water interface

Author

Abstract

The activity of catalysts is mainly dictated by the adsorption strength of reaction intermediates at their surfaces. For electrocatalysts in solution, the adsorption strength is not only determined by the intrinsic properties of catalysts and reactants, but also by the solvation energy of reaction intermediates, which is difficult to capture with theoretical methods. Here, we report the impact of different explicit solvation approaches in estimating the stability of oxygenates on the (111) surface of platinum, widely used in oxygen electrocatalysis. We simulate the adsorption of OH, O, and OOH intermediates, relevant for oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reactions, on Pt(111) with different solvation environments. We apply the static water bilayer model, typically adopted to calculate solvation energies on Pt(111) in computational studies. We then study the trend of solvation energies under different microsolvation environments, by adsorbing the intermediates in presence of an increasing number of water molecules. Last, we use a dynamic approach based on ab-initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to account for dynamic effects. Our results indicate that the stabilities of oxygenates approach those of the water bilayer when the number of molecules increases from zero to three, but the free energies are affected in a not trivial way by the morphology and size of the water cluster, due to the increased complexity and configurational space. Moreover, static methods imply overcorrected free energies. The adoption of a molecular dynamics approach, based on single-run AIMD simulation of the Pt(111)/H2O interface, allows retrieval estimates close to the experimental observation, including dynamic effects, and is highly transferrable. These results suggest that i) when using a microsolvation scheme, it is recommended to include a few water molecules, up to three to resemble the picture of the static bilayer model; ii) dynamic effects are important and can be included with a sin

Abstract

The attention toward single-atom catalysts (SACs) for electrochemical processes is growing at an impressive pace. Electronic structure calculations play an important role in this race by providing proposals of potentially relevant catalysts based on screening studies or on the identification of descriptors of the chemical activity. So far, almost all of these predictions ignore a crucial aspect in the design of a catalyst: its stability. We propose a simple yet general first-principles approach to predict the stability of SACs under working conditions of pH and applied voltage. This is based on the construction of a thermodynamic cycle, where part of the information is taken from experiment and the rest from density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In particular, we make use of the formalism of Pourbaix diagrams to investigate the stability of SACs in reductive or oxidative conditions and we identify those that show a pronounced tendency to dissolve or to form other chemical species. Applying the procedure to four transition metal atoms, Cr, Mn, Fe, and Co, and to three supports, N-doped graphene, carbon nitride, and covalent organic frameworks, we show that a key factor in determining the final stability is the binding energy of the free metal atom to the support. The results show that several potentially very good catalysts in key electrochemical reactions are, in fact, dramatically prone to dissolution or transformation in other chemical species, suggesting that every prediction of the SAC’s catalytic activity should be accompanied by a parallel investigation of the stability.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia (EEM) spectrum is a generalized form of epilepsy characterized by eyelid myoclonia with or without absences, eye closure-induced seizures with electroencephalographic paroxysms, and photosensitivity. Based on the specific clinical features, age at onset, and familial occurrence, a genetic cause has been postulated. Pathogenic variants in CHD2, SYNGAP1, NEXMIF, RORB, and GABRA1 have been reported in individuals with photosensitivity and eyelid myoclonia, but whether other genes are also involved, or a single gene is uniquely linked with EEM, or its subtypes, is not yet known. We aimed to dissect the genetic etiology of EEM. METHODS: We studied a cohort of 105 individuals by using whole exome sequencing. Individuals were divided into two groups: EEM- (isolated EEM) and EEM+ (EEM accompanied by intellectual disability [ID] or any other neurodevelopmental/psychiatric disorder). RESULTS: We identified nine variants classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic in the entire cohort (8.57%); among these, eight (five in CHD2, one in NEXMIF, one in SYNGAP1, and one in TRIM8) were found in the EEM+ subcohort (28.57%). Only one variant (IFIH1) was found in the EEM- subcohort (1.29%); however, because the phenotype of the proband did not fit with published data, additional evidence is needed before considering IFIH1 variants and EEM- an established association. Burden analysis did not identify any single burdened gene or gene set. SIGNIFICANCE: Our results suggest that for EEM, as for many other epilepsies, the identification of a genetic cause is more likely with comorbid ID and/or other neurodevelopmental disorders. Pathogenic variants were mostly found in CHD2, and the association of CHD2 with EEM+ can now be considered a reasonable gene-disease association. We provide further evidence to strengthen the association of EEM+ with NEXMIF and SYNGAP1. Possible new associations between EEM+ and TRIM8, and EEM- and IFIH1, are also reported. A

Abstract

Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), the most frequent mitochondrial disease, is associated with mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) point mutations affecting Complex I subunits, usually homoplasmic. This blinding disorder is characterized by incomplete penetrance, possibly related to several genetic modifying factors. We recently reported that increased mitochondrial biogenesis in unaffected mutation carriers is a compensatory mechanism, which reduces penetrance. Also, environmental factors such as cigarette smoking have been implicated as disease triggers. To investigate this issue further, we first assessed the relationship between cigarette smoke and mtDNA copy number in blood cells from large cohorts of LHON families, finding that smoking was significantly associated with the lowest mtDNA content in affected individuals. To unwrap the mechanism of tobacco toxicity in LHON, we exposed fibroblasts from affected individuals, unaffected mutation carriers and controls to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC). CSC decreased mtDNA copy number in all cells; moreover, it caused significant reduction of ATP level only in mutated cells including carriers. This implies that the bioenergetic compensation in carriers is hampered by exposure to smoke derivatives. We also observed that in untreated cells the level of carbonylated proteins was highest in affected individuals, whereas the level of several detoxifying enzymes was highest in carriers. Thus, carriers are particularly successful in reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capacity. After CSC exposure, the amount of detoxifying enzymes increased in all cells, but carbonylated proteins increased only in LHON mutant cells, mostly from affected individuals. All considered, it appears that exposure to smoke derivatives has a more deleterious effect in affected individuals, whereas carriers are the most efficient in mitigating ROS rather than recovering bioenergetics. Therefore, the identification of genetic modifiers that modulate LHON penetrance must take into account also the exposure to environmental triggers such as tobacco smoke.

Abstract

Late diagnosis and the lack of screening methods for early detection define high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) as the gynecological malignancy with the highest mortality rate. In the work presented here, we investigated a retrospective and multicentric cohort of 250 archival Papanicolaou (Pap) test smears collected during routine gynecological screening. Samples were taken at different time points (from 1 month to 13.5 years before diagnosis) from 113 presymptomatic women who were subsequently diagnosed with HGSOC (pre-HGSOC) and from 77 healthy women. Genome instability was detected through low-pass whole-genome sequencing of DNA derived from Pap test samples in terms of copy number profile abnormality (CPA). CPA values of DNA extracted from Pap test samples from pre-HGSOC women were substantially higher than those in samples from healthy women. Consistently with the longitudinal analysis of clonal pathogenic TP53 mutations, this assay could detect HGSOC presence up to 9 years before diagnosis. This finding confirms the continual shedding of tumor cells from fimbriae toward the endocervical canal, suggesting a new path for the early diagnosis of HGSOC. We integrated the CPA score into the EVA (early ovarian cancer) test, the sensitivity of which was 75% (95% CI, 64.97 to 85.79), the specificity 96% (95% CI, 88.35 to 100.00), and the accuracy 81%. This proof-of-principle study indicates that the early diagnosis of HGSOC is feasible through the analysis of genomic alterations in DNA from endocervical smears.

Abstract

COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients’ management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons’ personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon–patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons’ perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence

Abstract

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are heterogenous catalysts with elements in common with coordination compounds. We discuss some fundamental elements required for the successful computational modeling of SACs for electrocatalytic applications. The first two aspects are the role played by the exchange-correlation functional adopted within a given DFT approach and the role of the local coordination of the active transition metal atom. Next, we discuss new intermediates that can form on SACs and that are not present on extended metal electrodes and how to model solvation, with particular emphasis on the fact that on SACs water can not only act as a solvent but also as a ligand. Finally, we discuss challenges related to the inclusion of pH and voltage in the models and some open issue concerning the rational design of new SACs.

Abstract

Transition metal nitrides have shown promise as electrocatalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers, but the instability of these nitrides in acid has limited their function for such technologies. On the other hand, having fast, complete nitride dissolution and ammonia formation in acid can offer new opportunities for distributed, on-demand ammonia generation. Optimizing nitride chemistries for these clean energy applications requires design principles for nitride dissolution and ammonia formation in acid. Here, we report that lowering the nitrogen 2p band center of transition metal nitrides relative to the Fermi level weakens metal–nitrogen bonds and increases labile metallic character, reducing dissolution reaction barriers and boosting ammonia formation kinetics in acid. Increasing the solubility of dissolved metal cations further facilitates the decomposition of nitrides in acid by prohibiting surface oxide passivation. These findings highlight essential future directions for preventing nitride dissolution or facilitating ammonia production for diverse acidic applications.

25. Role of Water Solvation on the Key Intermediates Catalyzing Oxygen Evolution on RuO2

Abstract

RuO2 and IrO2 are among the most active catalysts for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction (OER). Recently, it was demonstrated that the catalytic surface of these oxides plays a role in the reaction, where a hydrogen bond with a neighbor OH group stabilizes an unconventional −OO intermediate (−OO-H), prior to O2 evolution. Quantum chemical calculations neglecting solvation effects indicated that this intermediate is more stable than the conventional −OOH, and that deprotonation of the stabilizing −OH is the rate limiting step for OER on RuO2(110) and RuO2(100). In this work, we investigate the role of water molecules on the relative stability of −OOH and −OO-H oxygenates on RuO2 (110) by means of density functional theory calculations combined with ab initio Molecular Dynamics simulations (AIMD). We show that the two intermediates participate in a hydrogen bonding network with water to a similar extent, but leading to different interfacial water structures, with possible implications on interfacial proton dynamics and reaction kinetics. Moreover, −OOH can spontaneously convert to −OO-H through a process mediated by water, demonstrating the critical role of explicitly including water in the model. This study provides further mechanistic insights on the role of the oxide surface chemistry in the OER mechanism and highlights the importance of explicitly treating the catalyst/water interfaces including dynamical aspects to assess the stability and the interconversion mechanism of key surface species, since the adoption of static solvation approaches tends to overestimate the energetic difference between −OOH and −OO-H reaction intermediates.

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is gaining traction in medicine and surgery. AI-based applications can offer tools to examine high-volume data to inform predictive analytics that supports complex decision-making processes. Time-sensitive trauma and emergency contexts are often challenging. The study aims to investigate trauma and emergency surgeons’ knowledge and perception of using AI-based tools in clinical decision-making processes. Methods: An online survey grounded on literature regarding AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was advertised to 917 WSES members through the society’s website and Twitter profile. Results: 650 surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the survey. Results depict the presence of technology enthusiasts and skeptics and surgeons’ preference toward more classical decision-making aids like clinical guidelines, traditional training, and the support of their multidisciplinary colleagues. A lack of knowledge about several AI-related aspects emerges and is associated with mistrust. Discussion: The trauma and emergency surgical community is divided into those who firmly believe in the potential of AI and those who do not understand or trust AI-enabled surgical decision-making aids. Academic societies and surgical training programs should promote a foundational, working knowledge of clinical AI.

Abstract

Background: Shared decision-making (SDM) between clinicians and patients is one of the pillars of the modern patient-centric philosophy of care. This study aims to explore SDM in the discipline of trauma and emergency surgery, investigating its interpretation as well as the barriers and facilitators for its implementation among surgeons. Methods: Grounding on the literature on the topics of the understanding, barriers, and facilitators of SDM in trauma and emergency surgery, a survey was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was sent to all 917 WSES members, advertised through the society’s website, and shared on the society’s Twitter profile. Results: A total of 650 trauma and emergency surgeons from 71 countries in five continents participated in the initiative. Less than half of the surgeons understood SDM, and 30% still saw the value in exclusively engaging multidisciplinary provider teams without involving the patient. Several barriers to effectively partnering with the patient in the decision-making process were identified, such as the lack of time and the need to concentrate on making medical teams work smoothly. Discussion: Our investigation underlines how only a minority of trauma and emergency surgeons understand SDM, and perhaps, the value of SDM is not fully accepted in trauma and emergency situations. The inclusion of SDM practices in clinical guidelines may represent the most feasible and advocated solutions.

Abstract

We detect ionized gas characteristics indicative of winds in three disk-dominated galaxies that are members of a super-group at z=0.37 that will merge to form a Coma-mass cluster. All three galaxies are IR-luminous (L_IR > 4 x 10^{10} L_sun, SFR >8 M_sun per year) and lie outside the X-ray cores of the galaxy groups. We find that the most IR-luminous galaxy has strong blue and redshifted emission lines with velocities of ~ +/-200 km/s and a third, blueshifted (~ 900 km/s) component. This galaxy's line-widths (Hb, [OIII]5007, [NII], Ha) correspond to velocities of 100-1000 km/s. We detect extraplanar gas in two of three galaxies with SFR > 8 M_sun per year whose orientations are approximately edge-on and which have IFU spaxels off the stellar disk. IFU maps reveal that the extraplanar gas extends to r_h ~ 10 kpc; [NII] and Ha line-widths correspond to velocities of ~200-400 km/s in the disk and decrease to ~50-150 km/s above the disk. Multi-wavelength observations indicate that the emission is dominated by star formation. Including the most IR-luminous galaxy we find that 18% of supergroup members with SFR > 8 M_sun per year show ionized gas characteristics indicative of outflows. This is a lower limit as showing that gas is outflowing in the remaining, moderately inclined, galaxies requires a non-trivial decoupling of contributions to the emission lines from rotational and turbulent motion. Ionized gas mass loss in these winds is ~0.1 M_sun per year for each galaxy, although the winds are likely to entrain significantly larger amounts of mass in neutral and molecular gas., Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures (slightly degraded in quality), accepted for publication in ApJL

Abstract

Giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs) have flat discs extending up to ~100 kpc. Their formation is a puzzle for cosmological simulations in the cold dark matter scenario. We suggest that GLSBs might be the final product of the evolution of collisional ring galaxies. In fact, our simulations show that, approximately 0.5-1.5 Gyr after the collision which led to the formation of the ring galaxy, the ring keeps expanding and fades, while the disc becomes very large (~100 kpc) and flat. At this stage, our simulated galaxies match many properties of GLSBs (surface brightness profile, morphology, HI spectrum and rotation curve)., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, to appear in "The Galaxy Disk in Cosmological Context"; Proceedings of IAU254; Copenhagen; 9-13 June 2008; eds.

Abstract

We simulate the collisional formation of a ring galaxy and we integrate its evolution up to 1.5 Gyr after the interaction. About 100-200 Myr after the collision, the simulated galaxy is very similar to observed ring galaxies (e.g. Cartwheel). After this stage, the ring keeps expanding and fades. Approximately 0.5-1 Gyr after the interaction, the disc becomes very large (~100 kpc) and flat. Such extended discs have been observed only in giant low surface brightness galaxies (GLSBs). We compare various properties of our simulated galaxies (surface brightness profile, morphology, HI spectrum and rotation curve) with the observations of four well-known GLSBs (UGC6614, Malin 1, Malin 2 and NGC7589). The simulations match quite well the observations, suggesting that ring galaxies could be the progenitors of GLSBs. This result is crucial for the cold dark matter (CDM) model, as it was very difficult, so far, to explain the formation of GLSBs within the CDM scenario., Comment: 10 pages, 12 figures, MNRAS, in press, higher resolution version at http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~mapelli/astroph/GLSB2.ps

Abstract

We report on the discovery of the z=1.016 cluster RzCS 052 using a modified red sequence method, followup spectroscopy and X-ray imaging. This cluster has a velocity dispersion of 710+-150 km/s, a virial mass of 4.0e14 Msol (based on 21 spectroscopically confirmed members) and an X-ray luminosity of (0.68+- 0.47)e44 ergs/s in the [1-4] keV band. This optically selected cluster appears to be of richness class 3 and to follow the known L_X-sigma_v relation for high redshift X-ray selected clusters. Using these data, we find that the halo occupation number for this cluster is only marginally consistent with what expected assuming a self-similar evolution of cluster scaling relations, suggesting perhaps a break of them at z~1. We also rule out a strong galaxy merging activity between z=1 and today. Finally, we present a Bayesian approach to measuring cluster velocity dispersions and X-ray luminosities in the presence of a background: we critically reanalyze recent claims for X-ray underluminous clusters using these techniques and find that the clusters can be accommodated within the existing L_X -sigma_v relation., Comment: MNRAS, in press

32. Intermediate-mass black holes and ultraluminous X-ray sources in the Cartwheel ring galaxy

Abstract

Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the Cartwheel galaxy show ~17 bright X-ray sources (>~5x10^38 erg s^-1), all within the gas-rich outer ring. We explore the hypothesis that these X-ray sources are powered by intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) accreting gas or undergoing mass transfer from a stellar companion. To this purpose, we run N-body/SPH simulations of the galaxy interaction which might have led to the formation of Cartwheel, tracking the dynamical evolution of two different IMBH populations: halo and disc IMBHs. Halo IMBHs cannot account for the observed X-ray sources, as only a few of them cross the outer ring. Instead, more than half of the disc IMBHs are pulled in the outer ring as a consequence of the galaxy collision. However, also in the case of disc IMBHs, accretion from surrounding gas clouds cannot account for the high luminosities of the observed sources. Finally, more than 500 disc IMBHs are required to produce <~15 X-ray sources via mass transfer from very young stellar companions. Such number of IMBHs is very large and implies extreme assumptions. Thus, the hypothesis that all the observed X-ray sources in Cartwheel are associated with IMBHs is hardly consistent with our simulations, even if it is still possible that IMBHs account for the few (<~1-5) brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs)., Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, MNRAS, in press, higher resolution version at http://www-theorie.physik.unizh.ch/~mapelli/astroph/cartwheel_ULX2.ps

33. IIR Adaptive Filters for Detection of Gravitational Waves from Coalescing Binaries

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new strategy for gravitational waves detection from coalescing binaries, using IIR Adaptive Line Enhancer (ALE) filters. This strategy is a classical hierarchical strategy in which the ALE filters have the role of triggers, used to select data chunks which may contain gravitational events, to be further analyzed with more refined optimal techniques, like the the classical Matched Filter Technique. After a direct comparison of the performances of ALE filters with the Wiener-Komolgoroff optimum filters (matched filters), necessary to discuss their performance and to evaluate the statistical limitation in their use as triggers, we performed a series of tests, demonstrating that these filters are quite promising both for the relatively small computational power needed and for the robustness of the algorithms used. The performed tests have shown a weak point of ALE filters, that we fixed by introducing a further strategy, based on a dynamic bank of ALE filters, running simultaneously, but started after fixed delay times. The results of this global trigger strategy seems to be very promising, and can be already used in the present interferometers, since it has the great advantage of requiring a quite small computational power and can easily run in real-time, in parallel with other data analysis algorithms., Comment: Accepted at SPIE: "Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation". 9 pages, 3 figures

Abstract

Li–O2 batteries can provide greater gravimetric energy than Li-ion batteries but suffer from poor efficiency and cycle life due to the instability of aprotic electrolytes. In this study, we show that the apparent four-electron oxygen reduction to form Li2O in Li–O2 batteries with molten nitrate is facilitated by the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to nitrite, and subsequent chemical oxidation of nitrite to nitrate by molecular oxygen, instead of a four-electron oxygen reduction aided by disproportionation of Li2O2 generated from two-electron reduction of molecular oxygen. By examining a series of transition metal catalysts using experiments and computation, optimizing the surface binding of nitrate to enhance the kinetics of the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to nitrite, as well as increasing the kinetics of nitrite oxidation by O2 was shown to increase the discharge voltage and render the observed high-rate capability for NiO-based surfaces in Li–O2 batteries.

Abstract

Surface oxygen vacancies have been widely discussed to be crucial for tailoring the activity of various chemical reactions from CO, NO, to water oxidation by using oxide-supported catalysts. However, the real role and potential function of surface oxygen vacancies in the reaction remains unclear because of their very short lifetime. Here, it is reported that surface oxygen vacancies can be well confined electrostatically for a polarization screening near the perimeter interface between Pt {111} nanocrystals and the negative polar surface (001) of ferroelectric PbTiO3. Strikingly, such a catalyst demonstrates a tunable catalytic CO oxidation kinetics from 200 °C to near room temperature by increasing the O2 gas pressure, accompanied by the conversion curve from a hysteresis-free loop to one with hysteresis. The combination of reaction kinetics, electronic energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) analysis, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicates that the oxygen vacancies stabilized by the negative polar surface are the active sites for O2 adsorption as a rate-determining step, and then dissociated O moves to the surface of the Pt nanocrystals for oxidizing adsorbed CO. The results open a new pathway for tunable catalytic activity of CO oxidation.

38. Implications of Nonelectrochemical Reaction Steps on the Oxygen Evolution Reaction: Oxygen Dimer Formation on Perovskite Oxide and Oxynitride Surfaces

Abstract

According to the conventional understanding, the oxygen evolution reaction on metal oxide surfaces involves four proton-coupled electron transfer steps with *OH, *O, and *OOH reaction intermediates. Recently, several alternative reaction mechanisms with lower overpotentials were proposed for highly active catalysts. While for such reaction mechanisms additional intermediates leading to nonelectrochemical reaction steps could be considered, they are usually neglected when the thermodynamic overpotential of such mechanisms is investigated. We show here that this is a valid approximation for endothermic nonelectrochemical steps, which only affect the kinetics, while exothermic nonelectrochemical steps can also affect the thermodynamic overpotential. We show this on the basis of density functional theory calculations for one of those proposed mechanisms on surfaces of different perovskite oxides and oxynitrides. We find that for weakly binding surfaces the *O adsorbate spontaneously adopts a bidentate bridged dimer structure in a nonelectrochemical step with an energy gain in excess of 1 eV. This decrease in free energy needs to be compensated by an equivalent increase in magnitude of the electrochemical steps, which can affect the thermodynamic overpotential. This change may result in reaction mechanisms without nonelectrochemical steps having smaller thermodynamic overpotentials and thus being more favorable.

Abstract

Earth-abundant manganese-based oxides have shown promise to replace costly noble-metal-based catalysts in state-of-the-art proton exchange membrane fuel cells and electrolyzers. However, the practical utilization of Mn-based oxides in these acidic technologies has been severely hindered by their dissolution at low pHs. Designing Mn-based oxides with enhanced durability in acid requires a fundamental understanding of the physical origin of their instability. In this work, combining dissolution kinetic studies and first-principles calculations, we systematically quantified the dissolution of Mn-based oxides in acid and identified intrinsic material descriptors that govern their acid stability. We found that lowering the Mn oxidation states in Mn-based oxides to decrease Mn-O covalency and weaken Mn-O bonds led to greater driving forces for critical reaction steps, including protonation, vacancy formation, and ion solvation, rendering poorer stability and faster dissolution kinetics upon exposure to acid. Such correlations for the stability of oxides in acid were further validated by a computational screening of 1000 Mn-based oxides. Notably, limiting the fraction of ionic substituents in oxides and using metal substituents with greater electronegativity/acidity were found to stabilize Mn-based oxides against dissolution in acid. These findings establish new guiding principles to design and optimize oxides with enhanced durability in acid for clean energy applications.

Abstract

Background: In 2020, ACIE Appy study showed that COVID-19 pandemic heavily affected the management of patients with acute appendicitis (AA) worldwide, with an increased rate of non-operative management (NOM) strategies and a trend toward open surgery due to concern of virus transmission by laparoscopy and controversial recommendations on this issue. The aim of this study was to survey again the same group of surgeons to assess if any difference in management attitudes of AA had occurred in the later stages of the outbreak. Methods: From August 15 to September 30, 2021, an online questionnaire was sent to all 709 participants of the ACIE Appy study. The questionnaire included questions on personal protective equipment (PPE), local policies and screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection, NOM, surgical approach and disease presentations in 2021. The results were compared with the results from the previous study. Results: A total of 476 answers were collected (response rate 67.1%). Screening policies were significatively improved with most patients screened regardless of symptoms (89.5% vs. 37.4%) with PCR and antigenic test as the preferred test (74.1% vs. 26.3%). More patients tested positive before surgery and commercial systems were the preferred ones to filter smoke plumes during laparoscopy. Laparoscopic appendicectomy was the first option in the treatment of AA, with a declined use of NOM. Conclusion: Management of AA has improved in the last waves of pandemic. Increased evidence regarding SARS-COV-2 infection along with a timely healthcare systems response has been translated into tailored attitudes and a better care for patients with AA worldwide.

Abstract

ConspectusThe transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy requires the development of efficient and cost-effective energy storage technologies. A promising way forward is to harness the energy of intermittent renewable sources, such as solar and wind, to perform (electro)catalytic reactions to generate fuels, thus storing energy in the form of chemical bonds. However, current catalysts rely on the use of expensive, rare, or geographically localized elements, such as platinum. Widespread adoption of new (electro)catalytic technologies hinges on the discovery and development of materials containing earth-abundant elements, which can efficiently catalyze an array of (electro)chemical reactions.In the context of catalysis, descriptors provide correlations between fundamental physical properties, such as the electronic structure, and the resulting catalytic activity. The use of easily accessible descriptors has proven to be a powerful method to advance and accelerate discovery and design of new catalyst materials. The position of the oxygen electronic 2p band center has been proposed to capture the basic physical properties of oxides, including oxygen vacancy formation energy, diffusion barrier of oxygen ions, and work function. Moreover, the adsorption strength of relevant reaction intermediates at the surface of oxides can be strongly correlated with the energy of the oxygen 2p states, which affects the catalytic activity of reactions, such as oxygen electrocatalysis, and oxidative dehydrogenation of organic molecules. Such descriptors for catalytic activity can be used to predict the activity of new catalysts and understand trends and behavior among different catalysts.In this Account, we discuss how the energy of the oxygen 2p states can be used as a descriptor for oxide bulk and surface chemical properties. We show how the oxide redox properties vary linearly with the position of the oxygen 2p band center with respect to the Fermi level, and we discuss how this

Abstract

The development of high-performance Lithium-ion batteries has long been at the forefront of energy technologies, given the urgent need for large-scale deployment of renewable energy sources, together with the electrification of transportation. The electrolyte, which is a fundamental component of such electrochemcal systems, is often the limiting factor directly affecting the performance and safety of the battery [1,2]. In this context, Poly(vinylidene difluoride)-based electrolytes have attracted huge attention due to their interesting ionic conductive properties and capability to overcome safety issues by replacing flamable organic liquid electrolytes [3]. Despite the interest in these polymer electrolytes, the mechanism of Li-ion diffusion in PVDF-based electrolyte is not well understood. Recent experimental studies [4] have argued that residual DMF solvent, which is used during the electrolytes preparation to dissolve the polymer-salt system, solvates Li+ and contributes to the ionic diffusion. Here we have used Density Functional Theory (DFT) to elucidate the role of DMF in the solvation and diffusion of Li+. The interaction of Li+ with DMF molecules and PVDF chains has been computed by constructing Li+(DMF)n(PVDF)m complexes. In addition, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed in order to obtain additional insights on the diffusion of Li+(DMF)n(PVDF)m complex. The atomic structures and formation energies of Li+(DMF)n(PVDF)m complexes, shown in Figure 1, demonstrate that Li+ tends to coordinate up to three DMF molecules rather than directly binding PVDF, indicating that the interaction Li+-DMF is stronger than the interaction of Li+ with PVDF. Increasing the number of ligands, e.g. n+m > 4, Li+(DMF)n complex interacts with PVDF as the second solvation shell. Moreover, our molecular dynamics simulations confirm that the amount of DMF molecules coordinating Li+ affects the mobility of Li+ through PVDF chains. Our results represent a step forwarding in

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Sex is a major source of diversity among patients and a sex-informed approach is becoming a new paradigm in precision medicine. We aimed to describe sex diversity in myelodysplastic syndromes in terms of disease genotype, phenotype, and clinical outcome. Moreover, we sought to incorporate sex information into the clinical decision-making process as a fundamental component of patient individuality. METHODS: In this multicentre, observational cohort study, we retrospectively analysed 13 284 patients aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome according to 2016 WHO criteria included in the EuroMDS network (n=2025), International Working Group for Prognosis in MDS (IWG-PM; n=2387), the Spanish Group of Myelodysplastic Syndromes registry (GESMD; n=7687), or the Düsseldorf MDS registry (n=1185). Recruitment periods for these cohorts were between 1990 and 2016. The correlation between sex and genomic features was analysed in the EuroMDS cohort and validated in the IWG-PM cohort. The effect of sex on clinical outcome, with overall survival as the main endpoint, was analysed in the EuroMDS population and validated in the other three cohorts. Finally, novel prognostic models incorporating sex and genomic information were built and validated, and compared to the widely used revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R). This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04889729. FINDINGS: The study included 7792 (58·7%) men and 5492 (41·3%) women. 10 906 (82·1%) patients were White, and race was not reported for 2378 (17·9%) patients. Sex biases were observed at the single-gene level with mutations in seven genes enriched in men (ASXL1, SRSF2, and ZRSR2 p<0·0001 in both cohorts; DDX41 not available in the EuroMDS cohort vs p=0·0062 in the IWG-PM cohort; IDH2 p<0·0001 in EuroMDS vs p=0·042 in IWG-PM; TET2 p=0·031 vs p=0·035; U2AF1 p=0·033 vs p<0·0001) and mutations in two genes were enriched in women (DNMT3A p<0·000

Abstract

COVID-19 negatively affected surgical activity, but the potential benefits resulting from adopted measures remain unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the change in surgical activity and potential benefit from COVID-19 measures in perspective of Italian surgeons on behalf of SPIGC. A nationwide online survey on surgical practice before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic was conducted in March–April 2022 (NCT:05323851). Effects of COVID-19 hospital-related measures on surgical patients’ management and personal professional development across surgical specialties were explored. Data on demographics, pre-operative/peri-operative/post-operative management, and professional development were collected. Outcomes were matched with the corresponding volume. Four hundred and seventy-three respondents were included in final analysis across 14 surgical specialties. Since SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, application of telematic consultations (4.1% vs. 21.6%; p < 0.0001) and diagnostic evaluations (16.4% vs. 42.2%; p < 0.0001) increased. Elective surgical activities significantly reduced and surgeons opted more frequently for conservative management with a possible indication for elective (26.3% vs. 35.7%; p < 0.0001) or urgent (20.4% vs. 38.5%; p < 0.0001) surgery. All new COVID-related measures are perceived to be maintained in the future. Surgeons’ personal education online increased from 12.6% (pre-COVID) to 86.6% (post-COVID; p < 0.0001). Online educational activities are considered a beneficial effect from COVID pandemic (56.4%). COVID-19 had a great impact on surgical specialties, with significant reduction of operation volume. However, some forced changes turned out to be benefits. Isolation measures pushed the use of telemedicine and telemetric devices for outpatient practice and favored communication for educational purposes and surgeon–patient/family communication. From the Italian surgeons’ perspective, COVID-related measures will continue to influence

Abstract

Preventing non-adherence and treating adherence failure are important to consider in designing community-based clinical trials. The approach and methods for managing adherence are vital. This paper describes a practical and theoretically-based strategy for managing adherence in a small cancer prevention trial with subjects (n = 40) taking a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, piroxicam. Average daily pill intake adherence was exceptionally high (97.4%) as measured by self-report calendar. Thus, the generalized adherence enhancement approach used in this study may have been a related factor, although statistical model-testing was not possible in this small trial. The generalized intervention took into account factors such as the potential barriers and benefits of being in the study, self-efficacy and satisfaction with the participant/staff relationship. These and other theoretical variables were incorporated into an overall adherence strategy that is discussed.
