Synthesis of Benzoxazines by Heterogeneous Multicomponent Biochemo Multienzymes Cascade Reaction.

This work describes the possibility to combine multicomponent chemistry and multienzymes cascade transformations in a unique reactive framework to yield highly functionalized 1,4-benzoxazines under favorable heterogeneous conditions. The synthetic scheme involved the generation in situ of electrophilic reactive quinone intermediates of tyrosol esters catalyzed by lipase M and tyrosinase followed by nucleophilic 1,6-Michael addition of selected α-amino acid methyl esters, and successive intramolecular lactonization and aromatization processes. The immobilization of the multienzymes cascade on electroactive lignin nanoparticles improved the sustainability and recyclability of the overall system.

Fast 3D positioning based on a simplified THz photonic stereo ISAR system.

In this work, a THz stereo inverse synthetic aperture radar scheme based on photonics is proposed, and proof-of-concept experimentally demonstrated, achieving high resolution and fast three-dimensional (3D) positioning of multiple targets. An optical frequency comb and a uni-traveling carrier photodiode are employed to photonically generate a linear frequency-modulation signal at 300-320GHz. By two incoherent measurements at different angles with one pair of antennas, 3D positioning of plane reflectors over a distance of 0.6m is successfully accomplished, achieving a resolution of 7.5mm for both range and azimuth dimensions, and a maximum experimental height error of 4mm.

New Imidazodiazepine Analogue, 5-(8-Bromo-6-(pyridin-2-yl)-4H-benzo[f]imidazo[1,5-a][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)oxazole, Provides a Simplified Synthetic Scheme, High Oral Plasma and Brain Exposures, and Produces Antiseizure Efficacy in Mice, and Antiepileptogenic Activity in Neural Networks in Brain Slices from a Patient with Mesial Temporal Lobe Epilepsy.

KRM-II-81 (1) is an imidazodiazepine GABAA receptor (GABAAR) potentiator with broad antiseizure efficacy and a low sedative burden. A brominated analogue, DS-II-73 (5), was synthesized and pharmacologically characterized as a potential backup compound as KRM-II-81 moves forward into development. The synthesis from 2-amino-5-bromophenyl)(pyridin-2yl)methanone (6) was processed in five steps with an overall yield of 38% and without the need for a palladium catalyst. GABAAR binding occurred with a Ki of 150 nM, and only 3 of 41 screened binding sites produced inhibition ≥50% at 10 μM, and the potency to induce cytotoxicity was ≥240 mM. DS-II-73 was selective for α2/3/5- over that of α1-containing GABAARs. Oral exposure of plasma and brain of rats was more than sufficient to functionally impact GABAARs. Tonic convulsions in mice and lethality induced by pentylenetetrazol were suppressed by DS-II-73 after oral administration and latencies to clonic and tonic seizures were prolonged. Cortical slice preparations from a patient with pharmacoresistant epilepsy (mesial temporal lobe) showed decreases in the frequency of local field potentials by DS-II-73. As with KRM-II-81, the motor-impairing effects of DS-II-73 were low compared to diazepam. Molecular docking studies of DS-II-73 with the α1β3γ2L-configured GABAAR showed low interaction with α1His102 that is suggested as a potential molecular mechanism for its low sedative side effects. These findings support the viability of DS-II-73 as a backup molecule for its ethynyl analogue, KRM-II-81, with the human tissue data providing translational credibility.

Concentration-dependent aggregation of methylene blue acting as a photoredox catalyst.

Hydroxylation reactions are important in biological processes and synthetic schemes. Many challenging hydroxylation reactions have been achieved using photoredox catalytic methods. For the oxidative hydroxylation of arylboronic acids, methylene blue has been used successfully as a photoredox catalyst to produce phenyl groups. Here we use broadband transient absorption spectroscopy to determine the mechanism of the photoredox catalytic reaction of methylene blue with phenylboronic acid in the presence of N,N-diisopropylethylamine. Our results show that the reaction proceeds through the triplet state of methylene blue in the presence of oxygen, generating superoxide radical anions. In addition, we observe dimerization of the methylene blue at typical catalytic loadings. As these dimers do not participate in the reaction, increasing the concentration of methylene blue is potentially detrimental to the overall yield.

Generalising electrocardiogram detection and delineation: training convolutional neural networks with synthetic data augmentation.

Extracting beat-by-beat information from electrocardiograms (ECGs) is crucial for various downstream diagnostic tasks that rely on ECG-based measurements. However, these measurements can be expensive and time-consuming to produce, especially for long-term recordings. Traditional ECG detection and delineation methods, relying on classical signal processing algorithms such as those based on wavelet transforms, produce high-quality delineations but struggle to generalise to diverse ECG patterns. Machine learning (ML) techniques based on deep learning algorithms have emerged as promising alternatives, capable of achieving similar performance without handcrafted features or thresholds. However, supervised ML techniques require large annotated datasets for training, and existing datasets for ECG detection/delineation are limited in size and the range of pathological conditions they represent. This article addresses this challenge by introducing two key innovations. First, we develop a synthetic data generation scheme that probabilistically constructs unseen ECG traces from "pools" of fundamental segments extracted from existing databases. A set of rules guides the arrangement of these segments into coherent synthetic traces, while expert domain knowledge ensures the realism of the generated traces, increasing the input variability for training the model. Second, we propose two novel segmentation-based loss functions that encourage the accurate prediction of the number of independent ECG structures and promote tighter segmentation boundaries by focusing on a reduced number of samples. The proposed approach achieves remarkable performance, with a -score of 99.38% and delineation errors of ms and ms for ECG segment onsets and offsets across the P, QRS, and T waves. These results, aggregated from three diverse freely available databases (QT, LU, and Zhejiang), surpass current state-of-the-art detection and delineation approaches. Notably, the model demonstrated exceptional performance despite variations in lead configurations, sampling frequencies, and represented pathophysiology mechanisms, underscoring its robust generalisation capabilities. Real-world examples, featuring clinical data with various pathologies, illustrate the potential of our approach to streamline ECG analysis across different medical settings, fostered by releasing the codes as open source.

Embedding plasmonic nanoparticles in soft crystals: an approach exploiting CTAB-I structures.

Embedding nanoparticles with different functionalities into soft substrates is a convenient tool to realize technologically significant multifunctional materials. This study focuses on incorporating bimetallic plasmonic nanoparticles into soft crystals made of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide-iodide. We observed the emergence of a novel symmetry-lowered cetrimonium crystal polymorph that enables the realization of strong interparticle plasmonic coupling in these composite materials. The observed crystal polymorph exhibits a triclinic structure with significantly reduced unit cell volume compared to standard CTAB. Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance studies revealed an enhanced cetrimonium chain rigidity and a commensurate decrease in the mobility of the methyl groups. This is attributed to iodide incorporation. To study the influence of these interactions on solution phase dynamical properties, we employed light scattering measurements using gold nanospheres as markers, where we observed aggregation of these particles. We then develop a two step synthetic scheme that successfully enables high levels (533 particles per μm2) of incorporation of bimetallic plasmonic particles into the emergent crystal polymorph.

Green Methodologies for Tetrazole Synthesis from Different Starting Materials: A Recent Update

Abstract: Tetrazole is a most versatile pharmacophore of which more than twenty FDAapproved drugs have been marketed globally for the management of various diseases. In spite of many remarkable and consistent efforts having been made by the chemists towards the development of greener and sustainable strategies for the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives, this approach still needs more attention. The present review focuses on the green synthetic approach for the preparation of tetrazole derivatives from different starting materials such as nitrile, isonitrile, carbonyl, amine, amide, oxime and terminal alkyne functions. The mechanism of tetrazole synthesis from different substrates is discussed. In addition to this, a four component Ugi-azide reaction to the tetrazole synthesis is also described. Of note, the present articles exploited several water-mediated and solvent-free methodologies for tetrazole synthesis. The important key features of tetrazole synthesis were pinpointing in each synthetic scheme which provides excellent guide to those searching for selective procedure to achieve the desired transformation. This review seeks to present a timely account (2011-2023) on the splendid array of ecofriendly procedures of synthesis known today for the preparation of tetrazole derivatives from different starting materials. The rational of this review is to enlighten recent advancements in the synthesis of tetrazole derivatives from different substrates.

Novel Approach to the Synthesis of Bithiophenesilane Dendrimers with Efficient Intramolecular Energy Transfer

A synthetic scheme allowing the preparation of nanostructured organosilicon luminophores of branched or dendritic structure with up to 18 bithiophenesilane donor fragments and one central acceptor fragment has been elaborated. This universal scheme has been successfully upscaled to 20 g of the product, and its efficiency has been verified by the synthesis of two earlier unknown bithiophenesilane dendrimers with dense molecular shell and the central acceptor fragment, 1,4-bis(5-phenylthienyl-2-yl)benzene. The synthesis of more branched dendrimers under the Suzuki reaction conditions has led to the formation of the side products with the rupture of the Si–C(thiophene) bond, not typical of the synthesis of analogous compounds with lower branching degree under the same conditions.

An Explicative Review on the Current Advancement in Schiff Base-Metal Complexes as Anticancer Agents Evolved in the Past Decade: Medicinal Chemistry Aspects.

In the recent era, developments in the field of bio-inorganic chemistry have improved interest in Schiff base complexes (imine scaffolds) for their pharmacological excellence in different areas. Schiff bases are a kind of synthetic molecule that is synthesized by the condensation reaction between a 1o amine and a carbonyl compound. Imine derivatives are also acknowledged for their ability to form complexes with several metals. Due to their wide range of biological activities, they have acquired prominence in the therapeutic and pharmaceutical industries. Inorganic chemists have continued to be intrigued by the vast range of uses of these molecules. Many of them are also thermally stable and have structural flexibility. Some of these chemicals have been discovered to be beneficial as clinical diagnostic agents as well as chemotherapeutic agents. Because of the flexibility of the reactions, these complexes have a wide range of characteristics and applications in biological systems. Anti-neoplastic activity is one of them. This review attempts to draw attention to the most notable examples of these novel compounds, which have excellent anticancer activity against different cancers. The synthetic scheme of these scaffolds, their metal complexes, and the explanation of their anticancer mechanism reported in this paper lead the researchers to design and synthesize more target-specific Schiff base congeners with little or no side effects in the future.

A comparative study on the surface chemistry and electronic transport properties of Bi2Te3 synthesized through hydrothermal and thermolysis routes

Bismuth telluride-Bi2Te3 is the most promising material for harvesting thermal energy near room temperature. There are numerous works on Bi2Te3 reporting significantly different transport properties, with no clear connection to the synthetic routes used and the resultant surface chemistry of the synthesized materials. It is of utmost importance to characterize the constituent particles’ surface and interfaces to get a better understanding of their influence on the transport properties, that will significantly improve the material design starting from the synthesis step. Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is a promising technique, enabling the formation of thick films using colloidally stabilized suspensions of pre-made nanoparticles, which can enable the study of the effect of surface chemistry, in connection to the synthetic route, on the material’s transport properties. In order to explore the differences in surface chemistry and the resultant transport properties in relation to the synthetic scheme used, here we report on Bi2Te3 synthesised through two wet-chemical routes in water (Hydro-) and oil (Thermo-) as the solvents. XRD analysis showed a high phase purity of the synthesized materials. SEM analysis revealed hexagonal platelet morphology of the synthesized materials, which were then used to fabricate EPD films. Characterization of the EPD films reveal significant differences between the Hydro- and Thermo-Bi2Te3 samples, leading to about 8 times better electrical conductivity values in the Thermo-Bi2Te3. XPS analysis revealed a higher metal oxides content in the Hydro-Bi2Te3 sample, contributing to the formation of a resistive layer, thus lowering the electrical conductivity. Arrhenius plots of electrical conductivity vs inverse temperature was used for the estimation of the activation energy for conduction, revealing a higher activation energy need for the Hydro-Bi2Te3 film, in agreement with the resistive barrier oxide content. Both the samples exhibited negative Seebeck coefficient (S) in the order of 160–170 mV/K. The small difference in S of Hydro- and Themo-Bi2Te3 films was explained by the effective medium theory, revealing that the magnitude of S is linearly correlated with the surface oxide content. Based on the findings, TE materials synthesized through thermolysis route is recommended for further studies using soft treatment/processing of pre-made TE materials. EPD platform presented here is shown to clearly expose the differences in the electronic transport in connection to nanoparticle surface chemistry, proving a promising methodology for the evaluation of morphology, size and surface chemistry dependence of electronic transport for a wide range of materials.

Water level control on coastal landform distribution and associated processes in a highly fluctuating shallow lake (Gallocanta Lake, NE Spain)

AbstractShallow lakes in semi‐arid environments are very sensitive to hydrological alterations associated with climate change. Their shorelines and geometry can change according to water level fluctuations. Gallocanta Lake (NE Spain) is a typical example of such lacustrine conditions because it is exposed to strong winds parallel to its elongation axis and is located in a semi‐arid Mediterranean environment. In this work, a high‐resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the area is used to compare the distribution of coastal forms (beaches, barrier islands, deltas, lagoons, etc.) with the frequency at which different water levels are attained. As a result, a clear relationship is obtained between presently active forms and the water levels most frequently reached in the lake. It is deduced that, once formed, the surrounding coastal plains related to these coastal forms control the permanence of water around a given height interval, favouring the development of these morphologies, in a positive feedback mechanism only broken by subsequent climate warming and lake water lowering. The hydrodynamic conditions responsible for activating the coastal forms have been analysed by applying a mathematical model of wind‐driven currents in the lake that predicts the present erosional/progradational trends associated with them. The combination of the different results obtained was used to generate a synthetic map of active coastal processes and trends along the lake shore during high water episodes, with two versions according to the two dominant wind scenarios in the region. The distribution of erosion/sedimentation trends along the lake shores has helped to propose the existence of longitudinal littoral cells, each one recording different shoreline trend (retreat, progradation, and stability), depending on the prevailing wind scenario. This synthetic scheme can be useful for predicting the eco‐morphological trends of the lake shore and adapting the present management practices in this protected area accordingly.

The Molecular Size of Bioengineered Oxygen Carriers Determines Tissue Oxygenation in a Hypercholesterolemia Guinea Pig Model of Hemorrhagic Shock and Resuscitation.

Polymerized human hemoglobin (PolyhHb) has shown promise in preclinical hemorrhagic shock settings. Different synthetic and purification schemes can control the size of PolyhHbs, yet research is lacking on the impact of polymerized hemoglobin size on tissue oxygenation following hemorrhage and resuscitation in specialized animal models that challenge their resuscitative capabilities. Pre-existing conditions that compromise the vasculature and end organs, such as the liver, may limit the effectiveness of resuscitation and exacerbate the toxicity of these molecules, which is an important but minimally explored therapeutic dimension. In this study, we compared the effective oxygen delivery of intermediate molecular weight PolyhHb (PolyhHb-B3; 500-750 kDa) to high molecular weight PolyhHb (PolyhHb-B4; 750 kDa-0.2 μm) for resuscitative effectiveness in guinea pig models subjected to hemorrhagic shock. We evaluated how the size of PolyhHb impacts hemodynamics and tissue oxygenation in normal guinea pigs and guinea pigs on an atherogenic diet. We observed that while PolyhHb-B3 and -B4 equivalently restore hemodynamic parameters of normal-dieted guinea pigs, high-fat-dieted guinea pigs resuscitated with PolyhHb-B4 have lower mean arterial pressures, impaired tissue oxygenation, and higher plasma lactate levels than those receiving PolyhHb-B3. We characterized the plasma of these animals following resuscitation and found that despite similar oxygen delivery kinetics, circulating PolyhHb-B3 and -B4 demonstrated a size-dependent increase in the plasma viscosity, consistent with impaired perfusion in the PolyhHb-B4 transfusion group. We conclude that intermediate-sized PolyhHbs (such as -B3) are ideal for further research given the effective resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock based on tissue oxygenation in hypercholesterolemic guinea pigs.

GiftBTE: an efficient deterministic solver for non-gray phonon Boltzmann transport equation

Advances in nanotechnology have facilitated the exploration of submicron thermal transport. At this scale, Fourier’s law is no longer applicable, and the governing equation for thermal transport is the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE). However, the availability of open-source solvers for the phonon BTE is limited, impeding progress in this field. This study introduces an open-source package, GiftBTE, for numerically solving the non-gray phonon BTE. GiftBTE employs deterministic solutions and provides both steady-state and transient solvers. For the steady-state solver, GiftBTE employs the implicit discrete ordinates method (DOM) with second-order spatial accuracy and the synthetic iterative scheme. For the transient solver, GiftBTE employs the explicit DOM with second-order spatial accuracy. This package demonstrates excellent computational efficiency, enabling realistic three-dimensional simulations of devices and materials. By interfacing with first-principles calculations, this solver enables parameter-free computation of submicron thermal transport. The application of GiftBTE includes, but is not limited to, computing the thermal conductivity of nanostructures, predicting temperature rises in transistors, and simulating laser heating processes.

Acceleration strategy of source iteration method for the stationary phonon Boltzmann transport equation

Mesoscopic numerical simulation has become an important tool in thermal management and energy harvesting at the micro/nano scale, where the Fourier's law failed. However, it is not easy to efficiently solve the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) from ballistic to diffusive limit. In order to accelerate convergence, an implicit synthetic iterative scheme is developed for the stationary phonon BTE, in which a macroscopic moment equation is invoked and solved iteratively coupled with the typical source iteration of the kinetic equation. Different from previous numerical interpolation, the phonon BTE is solved again at the cell interface along the group velocity direction within a certain length when reconstructing the interfacial phonon distribution function. Fourier stability analysis shows that the present method could converge faster than the source iteration method in the (near) diffusive regime. Numerical results prove that the present scheme can capture the ballistic-diffusive effects correctly and efficiently. The present acceleration framework could be a powerful tool for simulating practical thermal engineering problems in the future.

Elaboration and characterization of ε-polylysine‑sodium alginate nanoparticles for sustained antimicrobial activity

The ε-polylysine (ε-PL) is a food-grade antimicrobial substance. The cationic ε-PL molecules may interact with anionic components of food matrix causing turbidity, sedimentation, and hampering the antimicrobial activity. Herein, sodium alginate (SA) was used as wall material to encapsulate ε-PL, thereby to synthesize ε-PL-SA nanoparticles (ε-PL-SA-NPs). Monosaccharide composition and molecular weight of SA were characterized. The synthetic scheme is optimized and physicochemical characteristics and antimicrobial potential was investigated. Findings indicate that SA primarily consisted of mannuronic acid (95.25 %), weight average molecular weight (Mw) of SA was 176.464 kDa, and the molecular configuration of SA was irregular line clusters. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of ε-PL in ε-PL-SA-NPs made under optimum strategy (at pH 6.0, mass ratio of ε-PL to SA is 0.14, and SA concentration is 6 mg/mL) is about 99.74 %. The particle size of ε-PL-SA-NPs is ∼541.86 nm. The SEM image showed that the ε-PL-SA-NPs had a nearly spherical morphology. Zeta-potential and FTIR data reveal the interaction between ε-PL and SA was electrostatic and the hydrogen bonding. Agar diffusion assay exhibit that ε-PL-SA-NPs had antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The salmon preservation experiments reveal sustained antimicrobial efficacy of ε-PL-SA-NPs.

Design, Synthesis, in Silico and Biological Evaluation of Novel 4‐Aminopyrimidine‐5‐carbonitriles

AbstractHerein we report that 4‐aminopyrimidine‐5‐carbonitriles 3 a–i were efficiently synthesized by reacting suitable 2‐(ethoxyalkylene)malononitriles 1 a–c with easily available amidine hydrochlorides 2 a–d, in good yields using a simple synthetic scheme. To predict their pharmacological properties a comprehensive in silico analysis was conducted. Consequently, appropriate compounds 3 a–h were screened for their antiproliferative activity against two colorectal‐cancer‐cell lines and one lung cancer cell line. These analyses revealed that 4‐amino‐6‐methyl‐2‐(p‐tolyl) pyrimidine‐5‐carbonitrile (3 c) and 4‐amino‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐6‐methyl pyrimidine‐5‐carbonitrile (3 h) exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity against human LoVo and HCT‐116 cancer cells, and that the most potent inhibitory activity against human A549 cells was observed for compound 3 h.

Tropolones and Thailandepsin B as Lead-like Natural Compounds in the Development of Potent and Selective Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors.

Tropolone and thailandepsin B are naturally occurring substances that are primarily isolated from fungi and plants, although they can also be found in certain bacteria. Tropolones belong to an important class of aromatic compounds with a seven-membered nonbenzenoid ring structure. Thailandepsins are a group of natural products that were initially discovered in the culture broth of the Gram-negative bacterium Burkholderia thailandensis. Tropolonebased structures have been identified in over 200 natural compounds, ranging from simple tropolone derivatives to complex multicyclic systems like pycnidione and pyrerubrine A. These natural compounds exhibit a diverse range of pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, antifungal, insecticidal, phytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, antimitotic, anti-diabetic, enzyme inhibitory, anticancer, cytoprotective, and ROS scavenging properties. It is worth noting that thujaplicane, a compound similar to tropolone, displays all of the listed biological activities except for antimitotic action, which has only been observed in one natural tropolone compound, colchicine. Tropolone can be synthesized from commercially available seven-membered rings or derived through various cyclization and cycloaddition reactions. Thailandepsin B, on the other hand, can be synthesized by macro-lactonization of the corresponding secoacid, followed by the formation of internal disulfide bonds. It is important to mention that thailandepsin B exhibits different selective inhibition profiles compared to FK228. We investigated the HDAC inhibitory activity of the Tropolones and Thailandepsin B and discussed the biosynthesis of the naturally occurring compounds and their synthetic scheme. It has been observed that Tropolone derivatives act as isoenzyme-selective inhibitors of proven anticancer drug targets, histone deacetylases (HDACs). Some monosubstituted tropolones show remarkable levels of selectivity for HDAC2 and strongly inhibit the growth of T-lymphocyte cell lines. And Thailandepsins have different selective inhibition profiles than FK228. They exhibit comparable inhibitory activities to FK228 against human HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC6, HDAC7, and HDAC9, but less potent inhibitory activities than FK228 toward HDAC4 and HDAC8, the latter of which may be useful. Thailandepsins possess potent cytotoxic activities toward some types of cell lines.

Modificationally doped Se element and in-situ doped V element to elevate the supercapacitor performance of Co-MOF

Metal-organic skeleton (MOF) with adjustable pore skeleton and finely reaction sites has been widely accepted in the application of high-performance supercapacitors. Here, the Se-Co-MOF-1 nano-particles obtained by modified doped Se element to Co-MOF and the CoV3-MOF nano-sheets obtained by in-situ doped V element in Co-MOF. As a result, Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV3-MOF electrode materials have more electrochemical reactivity, better conductivity and better stability. At a certain current density, Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV3-MOF electrode materials have better mass-specific capacitance and better rate performance than Co-MOF. Furthermore, the Se-Co-MOF-1//AC ASC and CoV3-MOF//AC ASC are also assembled, which show relatively excellent power density and energy density compared to similar work reported. The Se-Co-MOF-1//AC ASC and CoV3-MOF//AC ASC after 10,000 cycles, their mass-specific capacitance retention rate are still 70.00 %, which further shows the reliable stability of Se-Co-MOF-1 and CoV3-MOF electrode materials. This result proves that the synthetic schemes of MOF nano-sheets/nano-particles can be selected as the source of the strategy for preparing excellent electrode materials.

General synthetic iterative scheme for polyatomic rarefied gas flows

Recently, the general synthetic iterative scheme (GSIS) has been proposed to solve the Boltzmann equation efficiently and accurately in the whole range of gas rarefaction. Here, the GSIS is extended and further improved to find the steady-state solutions in nonlinear polyatomic gas flows. The numerical method is developed within the unstructured finite volume framework, where the kinetic equation and synthetic equations are solved alternately. The synthetic equations, which are derived from the modified Rykov kinetic model, reduce to the two-temperature (translational and rotational) Navier–Stokes–Fourier equations in the continuum flow regime, and include high-order constitutive relations for rarefaction effects in other flow regimes. These high-order terms are obtained by solving the kinetic model with the discrete velocity method. When the synthetic equations are solved, their macroscopic quantities are used to guide the evolution of velocity distribution functions in the kinetic model. As a consequence of this two-way coupling, GSIS not only finds steady-state solutions quickly but also relieves the constraints on spatial cell size. Furthermore, the robustness of GSIS is improved by modifying the boundary macroscopic fluxes in the macroscopic implicit iteration. The efficiency and multiscale property of GSIS is demonstrated through several challenging test cases, including the one-dimensional normal shock wave with large internal-translational relaxation times, the two-dimensional hypersonic flow passing a cylinder, and the pump-driven flow in Europe’s demonstration fusion power plant.
