Utilizing MV-FLOW™ and multidimensional ultrasound characteristics for prognosticating FET outcomes in RIF patients: Study Protocol for a cross-sectional study.

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a common issue in frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET). Prior to transfer, uterine endometrial receptivity of FET patients can be assessed using multimodal transvaginal ultrasound indicators to predict the success rate of the current FET cycle. Endometrial blood flow is a crucial element in evaluating endometrial receptivity. MV-FLOW™ is an advanced two-dimensional superb microvascular imaging technology that can detect and display blood flow in micro-vessels. The data for this study were obtained from an ongoing cross-sectional study comprising 323 RIF patients and 323 first implantation (FI) patients, who underwent transvaginal ultrasound before FET. We collected basic clinical data and multimodal ultrasound data from these patients as predictive features, with clinical pregnancy as the predictive label, for model training. Based on the above, this study aims to establish and validate a clinical prediction model for FET outcomes using support vector classification (SVC) algorithms, based on MV-FLOW™ and multidimensional transvaginal ultrasound imaging features. The objective is to determine the predictive role of multimodal transvaginal ultrasound in embryo transfer outcomes and provide evidence for the clinical application of MV-FLOW™.

Aneuploidy rates and clinical pregnancy outcomes after preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy using the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation protocol or the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol.

To investigate the chromosome abnormality rates and clinical pregnancy outcomes after preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) using either the progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol or the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. The study included 431 PGT-A cycles in which controlled ovarian stimulation was performed using the PPOS protocol (n = 320 cycles) or GnRH antagonist protocol (n = 111 cycles) between January 2018 and December 2021. Frozen embryo transplantation was subsequently performed in 309 cycles with transplantable blastocysts. The number of retrieved oocytes, embryo development, next-generation sequencing results, and clinical pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two protocols. The primary outcome measure was the aneuploidy rate. Secondary outcome measures were clinical pregnancy per first frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle and cumulative live birth rates per PGT-A cycle. There were no statistically significant between-group differences in the number of retrieved oocytes, available blastocysts, and high-quality blastocyst rate. The aneuploidy rates were similar between the two groups. There was no significant difference in clinical pregnancy outcomes, including the clinical pregnancy, implantation, miscarriage, live birth, or cumulative live birth rates, after frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles (P>0.05). The study found no significant difference in the aneuploidy rate, clinical pregnancy rate and cumulative live birth rate after PGT-A cycles between those using the PPOS protocol and those using the GnRH antagonist protocol.

The effect of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer medium on the implantation rate in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles

Background: The treatment strategy for patients with a history of multiple failures in in vitro fertilization cycles remains a subject of active research. Embryo transfer in cryocycles is known to be more successful than “fresh” embryo transfer, when ovarian stimulation, follicle puncture, fertilization, and embryo culture were performed but the overall efficiency of in vitro fertilization cycles decreases with maternal age and transfer of poor quality embryos. One of the key factors influencing the failure of high quality embryo implantation is the deficiency of the adhesive matrix, which ensures the interaction between the embryo and the endometrium. The implementation of protocols that include the use of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media in the process of embryo transfer is a promising direction for improving implantation outcomes. Special attention of researchers is paid to determining the indications for the use of this technique. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media on the pregnancy rate in cryocycles. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort comparative study, included 609 women who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation and frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Results: The main outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles were analyzed, taking into account the quality of the transferred embryos and the use of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media. The latter was not shown to be associated with an increase in biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates in women under 35 years of age with a history of repeated implantation failures or after transfer of poor quality embryos. However, in patients over 40 years of age with poor quality embryos, the use of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media was effective, since it increased the clinical pregnancy rate. As expected, our data showed an increase in the clinical pregnancy rate in women with high quality embryos on the day of transfer, regardless of the patient’s age. At the same time, in patients with a thin (thickness less than 7 mm) endometrium or a history of miscarriage, the use of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media was also associated with an increase in the clinical pregnancy rate and live birth during embryo transfer in cryocycles. Conclusions: The data obtained have shown that the use of hyaluronic acid-enriched transfer media in cryocycles may be recommended for women over 40 years of age, regardless of the quality of the transferred embryos, as well as for women of any reproductive age with a thin endometrium and a history of miscarriage when transferring good quality embryos.

Understanding Intrinsic Electrochemical Properties of NiCo–Metal–Organic Framework-Derived NiCo2O4 as a Li-Ion Battery Anode

This study explores the electrochemical properties of additive-free NiCo₂O₄ derived from NiCo–metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as a high-performance anode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), excluding the effect of additives. NiCo-MOF was synthesized via an ultrasonic-assisted method and deposited on stainless steel foils using alternating current electrophoretic deposition (AC-EPD). The resulting thin films exhibited outstanding cycling stability and rate performance, maintaining a specific capacity of ~1200 mAh/g over 250 cycles at a high current density of 2.35 A/g, with nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency. Differential capacity analysis revealed enhanced redox activity at 0.8 V and 1.7 V during lithiation and delithiation, attributed to the decomposition of NiCo₂O₄ into metallic Ni and Co, followed by their oxidation to Ni2⁺ and Co3⁺, respectively. The gradual activation of electroactive sites, coupled with improved electrode kinetics and structural adjustments, contributed to the observed capacity increase over cycles. These findings underscore the potential of NiCo₂O₄ as a robust and efficient anode material for next-generation LIBs.

Energizing Robust Sulfur/Lithium Electrochemistry via Nanoscale-Asymmetric-Size Synergism.

Sluggish redox kinetics and dendrite growth perplex the fulfillment of efficient electrochemistry in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. The complicated sulfur phase transformation and sulfur/lithium diversity kinetics necessitate an all-inclusive approach in catalyst design. Herein, a compatible mediator with nanoscale-asymmetric-size configuration by integrating Co single atoms and defective CoTe2-x (CoSA-CoTe2-x@NHCF) is elaborately developed for regulating sulfur/lithium electrochemistry synchronously. Substantial electrochemistry and theoretical analyses reveal that CoTe2-x exhibits higher catalytic activity in long-chain polysulfide transformation and Li2S decomposition, while monodispersed Co sites are more effective in boosting sulfur reduction kinetics to regulate Li2S deposition. Such cascade catalysis endows CoSA-CoTe2-x@NHCF with the all-around service of "trapping-conversion-recuperation" for sulfur species during the whole redox reaction. Furthermore, it is demonstrated by in situ transmission electron microscopy that initially formed electronic-conductive Co and ionic-conductive Li2Te provide sufficient lithiophilic sites to regulate homogeneous Li plating and stripping with markedly suppressed dendrite growth. Consequently, by coupling the CoSA-CoTe2-x@NHCF interlayer and Li@CoSA-CoTe2-x@NHCF anode, the constructed Li-S full batteries deliver superior cycling stability and rate performance, and the flexible pouch cell exhibits stable cycling performance at 0.3 C. The gained insights into the synergistic effect of asymmetric-size structures pave the way for the integrated catalyst design in advanced Li-S systems.

Regulating Ion Transfer Dynamics and Potassium Polyselenide Dissolution in Dual‐Defect MoSe2‐x@NC for Ultrafast and Stable Potassium‐Ion Storage

AbstractMolybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), a promising anode material for potassium‐ion batteries (KIBs), often suffers from sluggish kinetics, substantial volumetric expansion, and dissolution and shuttling of intermediate phases, resulting in unsatisfactory cycle stability and rate performance. In this work, a dual‐defect MoSe2 (equipped with interlayer defects and Se vacancies) is introduced by a novel plasma‐induced etching process, encapsulated in nitrogen‐doped porous carbon nanofibers (denoted as dd‐MoSe2‐x@NC). These modifications create multidimensional potassium‐ion insertion channels, improve ion transfer dynamics, enhance intrinsic conductivity, and expose more reactive sites. Moreover, the nitrogen‐doped porous carbon matrix mitigates volumetric expansion and suppresses potassium‐polyselenide (K‐pSex) dissolution and shuttling through a physicochemical dual‐anchoring strategy. The dd‐MoSe2‐x@NC electrode demonstrates remarkable electrochemical performance, achieving a high specific capacity of 418.5 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1, reliable cycling stability over 1400 cycles at 2.0 A g−1, and superior rate performance with 125.0 mAh g−1 at 10.0 A g−1. The findings elucidate the “intercalation‐conversion” reaction mechanism and show that the dd‐MoSe2‐x@NC//PTCDA full cell attains high energy density (115.8 W h kg−1) and high power density (1057.2 W kg−1). This work highlights the enhanced potassium storage kinetics and cycling stability of layered transition metal chalcogenides, demonstrating the potential of MoSe2 in high‐performance KIBs.

In-Situ Construction of LiCl-Rich Artificial Solid Electrolyte Interphase for High-Performance Lithium Metal Anode.

In the pursuit of high-energy-density lithium metal batteries (LMBs), the development of stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is criticalto address issues such as lithium dendrite growth and low Coulombic efficiency.Herein,we propose a facile strategy for the in-situfabrication of a LiCl-richartificial SEI layer on Li surfaces through reaction ofMoCl5with Li (Li@MoCl5).The resulting artificial SEI significantly enhances the uniformity of Lideposition, effectively suppresses dendrite formation,and improveselectrochemical performance.As a result, Li@MoCl5symmetric cells demonstrateremarkable stability, achieving continuous cycling of 4200 h under a high current density of 10 mA cm-2with an areal capacity of 1 mAh cm-2. Full-cells employingLi@MoCl5exhibitsuperior cycling stability and rate capability, even at high cathode loading (17 mg cm-2). These resultshighlightthe potential of this interface engineering strategy for advanced practical application of LMBs.

What drives university students to cycle? An investigation of their motivations

The objective of this study is to identify the factors that influence the increase in the number of students cycling to university. An online questionnaire was administered to 2,130 students at the University of Trieste (Italy) to assess their stated preferences for cycling in the presence of various infrastructure and facilities, including cycle lanes, green infrastructure, secure parking, and e-bike charging stations. The findings indicate that students are responsive to the financial aspects of cycling, suggesting that subsidies for the purchase of bicycles or bike-share services could increase cycling rates. However, the study also highlights that infrastructure factors—such as the availability of dedicated cycle lanes, secure bicycle parking, and e-bike charging points on campus—are equally, if not more, important in determining the likelihood of students cycling to university. Additionally, linear green infrastructure, such as roads with greenery along the edges (e.g. grass verges, trees, or bushes), was found to be the second most important type of infrastructure for encouraging students residing in the urban area to cycle. Latent psychological factors, such as perceptions of urban safety for cycling and anticipated health and fatigue effects, were also significant in influencing the decision to cycle. Our findings will be useful to policy makers, local authorities and university mobility managers in the design, planning and implementation of policies that can effectively increase the uptake of cycling for commuting to university.

1α,25(OH)2D3 Regulates the TGF-β1/Samd Signaling Pathway Inhibition of Hepatic Stellate Cell Activation.

To investigate the effect of 1α,25(OH)2D3 on hepatic stellate cells and the mechanism of the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway.LX2 cells were treated with TGF-β1 and different concentrations of 1α,25(OH)2D3. Cell proliferation was assessed using the CCK8 assay to determine the optimal concentration of 1α,25(OH)2D3 activity. The cell cycle and apoptotic rates were evaluated using flow cytometry. The expressions of Samd2, Samd3, Samd4, and Samd7 was assessed by western blotting, whereas the expression of MMP1, MMP13, and TIMP-1 was detected by qPCR.Compared with the control group, the 1α,25(OH)2D3 group had a higher apoptotic rate of LX2 cells, the cell cycle was blocked from the G1 stage to the S stage, the expressions of Samd2, Samd7, MMP1, and MMP13 increased, while the expressions of Samd3, Samd4, and TIMP-1 decreased.1α,25(OH)2D3 inhibits hepatic stellate cell activation and exerts anti-hepatic fibrosis effects by downregulating the expression of Samd3, Samd4, TIMP-1 and upregulating the expression of Samd2, Samd4, MMP1, and MMP13.

Design and Preparation of Soluble Polyimide Binder With Random Copolymerized Rigid‐Flexible Segments for Lithium Ion Batteries

ABSTRACTBinders play a critical role in the preparation and operation of electrodes in lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs). Developing new binding materials with high affinity to Li ions and resistance to higher voltages was desirable for the practical applications of LIBs. In this work, soluble polyimide binder (PI) with random copolymerized rigid‐flexible segments were synthesized and evaluated as cathode binder for the typical lithium iron phosphate cathode material in terms of cycling performances, rate capability, and electrochemical impedance. By introducing the polar and soft ether segment into the rigid PI chains, the NMP‐soluble PI precursors were obtained. The rigid‐flexible segments in the PI binders work synergistically during the electrochemical process, in which the rigid segments of aromatic units with strong lithiophilic CO group provided the necessary mechanical support and affinity with electrolytes, while the flexible segments endow the high solubility and buffer effect to the volume change during the charge/discharge process. Moreover, the 3,5‐diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) working as the crosslinking unit was introduced during the synthesis and the addition ratios were optimized. The as‐optimized PI binders exhibited superior rate performances and comparable cycling stability when compared with the commercial PVDF binder, demonstrating the great potential for PI binder in the LIBs systems.

THE EFFECT OF COMPRESSOR WASH ON GAS TURBINE TEMPERATURE OF TURBOFAN ENGINE

In this study, the impact of compressor washing on improving the performance and engine life of a turbofan engine is analyzed. The purpose of this research is to determine the outcomes resulting from the compressor wash treatment, as well as the patterns and characteristics of engine deterioration rates in each block cycle following the wash. It also aims to identify the optimal timing for conducting a compressor wash to achieve the most favorable results and maximize the on-wing life of the engine. This research was conducted using an analytical method, which involved analyzing the data received from the Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) to assess the influence of engine performance and deterioration characteristics on the conducted compressor wash. One set of temperature margin data analyzed reveals the benefits of washing in terms of the turbine gas temperature (TGT) margin. It shows a 7°C increase in the TGT margin, indicating improved performance, but a 3.1°C decrease in the unrecoverable margin. Furthermore, the analysis of the margin data per 100 cycles indicates that the rate of deterioration is steeper during the initial 300 cycles compared to the subsequent cycles. Based on these findings, it is recommended to conduct the compressor washing process at around 300 cycles to maximize engine life and achieve enhanced efficiency.

Long-term climate establishes functional legacies by altering microbial traits.

Long-term climate history can influence rates of soil carbon cycling but the microbial traits underlying these legacy effects are not well understood. Legacies may result if historical climate differences alter the traits of soil microbial communities, particularly those associated with carbon cycling and stress tolerance. However, it is also possible that contemporary conditions can overcome the influence of historical climate, particularly under extreme conditions. Using shotgun metagenomics, we assessed the composition of soil microbial functional genes across a mean annual precipitation gradient that previously showed evidence of strong climate legacies in soil carbon flux and extracellular enzyme activity. Sampling coincided with recovery from a regional, multi-year severe drought, allowing us to document how the strength of climate legacies varied with contemporary conditions. We found increased investment in genes associated with resource cycling with historically higher precipitation across the gradient, particularly in traits related to resource transport and complex carbon degradation. This legacy effect was strongest in seasons with the lowest soil moisture, suggesting that contemporary conditions-particularly, resource stress under water limitation-influences the strength of legacy effects. In contrast, investment in stress tolerance did not vary with historical precipitation, likely due to frequent periodic drought throughout the gradient. Differences in the relative abundance of functional genes explained over half of variation in microbial functional capacity-potential enzyme activity-more so than historical precipitation or current moisture conditions. Together, these results suggest that long-term climate can alter the functional potential of soil microbial communities, leading to legacies in carbon cycling.

Promoted de-solvation effect and dendrite-free Zn deposition enabled by in-situ formed interphase layer for high-performance zinc-ion batteries

The use of aqueous electrolytes and Zn metal anodes in Zn-based energy storage systems provides several benefits, including competitive energy density, excellent safety, and low cost. However, Zn dendrites growth and slow ion transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interphase reduce the cycle stability and rate capability of the Zn anode. Herein, the V2O5-x interface layer was rationally and controllably constructed on the Zn surface through in situ spontaneous redox reaction between V2O5 and the Zn anode. The V2O5-x interface layer, with an optimized thickness, plays a crucial role in ion screening and de-solvation, leading to a uniform dispersion of Zn2+ ions and dendrite-free morphology. Moreover, as Zn2+ transports through the V2O5-x interface layer, the V element in a low-valence state allows the oxygen anions to bind more easily with Zn2+. This interaction enables a fast Zn2+ diffusion channel in the interfacial layer. Consequently, symmetric cells with V@Zn anodes achieve stable plating/stripping for more than 1400 h at 1 mA cm-2. In particular, the full cell paired with a V2O5 cathode exhibits a capacity of nearly 275.9 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 2500 cycles without obvious capacity deterioration, further highlighting the potential for practical applications.

Microbial Nitrogen Removal in South San Francisco Bay: Does It Play a Role in Eutrophication Resistance?

The ecosystem response to anthropogenic nitrogen (N) loading in estuarine systems is determined by hydrodynamics, biogeochemical transformation rates, and other system-specific characteristics. Historically, San Francisco (SF) Bay has been an outlier from other estuaries with an unusual resistance to eutrophication, despite having extremely high rates of nitrogen loading. Recent increases in phytoplankton biomass and an unprecedented harmful algal bloom, however, have increased the urgency to understand rates and drivers of nitrogen removal in the system. To assess benthic N cycling rates, we conducted seasonal measurements across nine sites in South and Lower South SF Bay, the two sub-embayments with the highest rates of area-normalized N loading, to determine the rates and potential drivers of denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA). Denitrification rates averaged 60.6 ± 8.1 µmol m−2 h−1 and were primarily coupled to nitrification. Denitrification rates were positively correlated with DNRA rates and % clay. DNRA rates ranged from 0 to 20 µmol m−2 h−1 and on an annual basis averaged ~ 10% of total benthic nitrate reduction, with a negative correlation to % clay content in the surface sediment. The measured denitrification rates account for the removal of, on average, 14% of N loaded annually to South SF Bay, leaving a sizeable portion for alternate fates (e.g., recycling, export, or burial) and potential for substantial temporal and spatial variability (1–79%). This identifies the relative importance of sediment denitrification in ecosystems characterized by high nutrients and low productivity.

Facile Preparation of Sulfonated Polysulfone Composite Membranes with High Hydrophilicity and Visible-Light Driving Self-Cleaning Performance.

The photo-Fenton reaction can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and thus is applied intensively for clearing out membrane fouling. However, the pollutant removal efficiency is greatly limited by the redox cycle rate of Fe2+/Fe3+ and the rapid recombination rate of the photogenerated electrons and holes. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a sulfonated polysulfone composite membrane was designed and prepared by incorporating titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles into a sulfonated polysulfone membrane and sequentially forming β-FeOOHs on the membrane surface. It was found that the synergy of TiO2 and β-FeOOH enhanced the hydrophilicity and improved the pure water flux of the composite membrane. As a result, the composite membrane exhibited superior separation performance for methylene blue and rhodamine B cationic dyes. The rejection rate was larger than 99.5%, and the pure water flux was larger than 125.7 L m-2 h-1, largely surpassing that of nanofiltration membranes. Meanwhile, the composite membrane exhibited an excellent self-cleaning performance, achieving a flux recovery rate over 99.7% after visible-light driving Fenton reaction treatment. The rejection rate still remained above 97.2% after 5 cycles of filtration and recovery, indicating the strong treatment ability of the membrane for dye wastewater.

Mixed-phase enabled high-rate copper niobate anodes for lithium-ion batteries.

The advancement of rapid-response grid energy storage systems and the widespread adoption of electric vehicles are significantly hindered by the charging times and energy densities associated with current lithium-ion battery technology. In state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, graphite is employed as the standard negative electrode material. However, graphite suffers from polarization and deteriorating side-reactions at the high currents needed for fast charging. Transition metal-oxide anodes are attractive alternatives due to their enhanced power density. However, often these anodes make use of toxic or scarce elements, significantly limiting their future potential. In this work, we propose a new, facile solid-state synthesis method to obtain non-toxic, abundant, mixed-phase copper niobate (Cu x Nb y O z ) anodes for lithium-ion batteries. The material consists of various phases working synergistically to deliver high electrochemical capacities at exceptional cycling rates (167 mA h g-1 at 1C, 95 mA h g-1 at 10C, 65 mA h g-1 at 60C and 37 mA h g-1 at 250C), large pseudocapacitive response (up to 90%), and high Li+ diffusion coefficient (1.8 × 10-12 cm2 s-1), at a stable capacity retention (99.98%) between cycles. Compared to graphite, at a comparable energy density (470 W h L-1), the composite material exhibits a 70 times higher power density (27 000 W L-1). These results provide a new perspective on the role of non-toxic and abundant elements for realizing ultrafast anode materials for future energy storage devices.

Preparation and structural optimization of vanadium oxide nanotubes as cathode materials for PIBs with improved performance.

In this work, we synthesized hollow multi-walled vanadium oxide nanotubes (VO x -NT) using a soft template technique under hydrothermal reaction conditions. By replacing organic templates, which do not contribute to electrochemical potassium storage, with K+ in a solution environment, we effectively retained the original hollow multi-walled structure of VO x -NT while obtaining the K-VO x -NT material. We conducted systematic characterizations of the microstructure, morphology, and composition of these materials and evaluated their potassium storage performance. Compared to the original VO x -NT, K-VO x -NT exhibited significantly enhanced cycling stability and rate performance when serving as the cathode in potassium-ion batteries (PIBs). It demonstrated a reversible discharge specific capacity of 75.7 mA h g-1 for the 1st cycle at a current density of 50 mA g-1 within a voltage range of 1.5-3.8 V (vs. K+/K) and retained 62.2 mA h g-1 after the 50th cycle. When a current density of 600 mA g-1 was applied, it could still deliver a capacity of 44.3 mA h g-1. Furthermore, the storage and degradation mechanisms of K+ in K-VO x -NT were elucidated. In addition, using hard carbon as the anode, the K-VO x -NT full-cell was tested to further evaluate its practical performance. This work provides insight into the design and modification of vanadium-based cathode materials for future PIBs.
