Summary: Conventional rechargeable aqueous Zn-ion batteries store charges through the cationic redox conversion mechanism, which provides limited capacity and energy density. Triggering the oxygen redox chemistry (ORC) can enhance the performance, and this study proposes a layered-type V2P2O9 cathode material that exhibits the ORC process at a high working potential window. The ORC process not only enhances the capacity performance but also improves the electrochemical stability window.

Summary: With increasing concern about data privacy, federated learning has become a popular research topic for collaborative training of machine learning models under privacy restrictions. This survey provides a comprehensive review of federated learning systems, introducing key system components and analyzing their design. It also presents a categorization of federated learning systems based on six aspects, including data distribution, machine learning model, privacy mechanism, communication architecture, scale of federation, and motivation. The categorization can guide the design of federated learning systems, as demonstrated by the case studies. The survey summarizes existing federated learning systems and offers insights into design factors, case studies, and future research opportunities.

Summary: COVID-19 medicines, like molnupiravir, are emerging for public health and clinical practice, but they vary in efficacy and safety. Pharmacogenomics, the study of genome-by-drug interactions, provides insights on patient-to-patient and population variations in drug efficacy and safety. Tailoring prescriptions based on pharmacogenomics is crucial for achieving personalized COVID-19 preventive and therapeutic interventions. Adequate consideration and implementation of pharmacogenomics can advance the development of COVID-19 medicines for public health benefits.

Summary: Virtual reality (VR) technologies are increasingly recognized for their potential applications in the retail and shopping industry. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding in this area. By systematically reviewing existing literature, it is evident that VR and related stimuli have positive effects on consumer psychology and behavior in shopping environments. Future research should focus on further developing concepts, themes, methodologies, and technologies related to VR in shopping.
