Summary: The geographical origin of olive oil is a guarantee of its value and protection against fraud. The study found that different cultivars of olive trees did not show significant differences in the uptake of rare earth elements from the soil to the olive oil, except for one element. However, the relationship between soil and plant rare earth elements depends on the composition of rare earth elements in the soil.

Summary: This study analyzed the rare earth and trace element content of 93 honeys of different botanical types and origins using ICP-MS. Discriminant Analysis was successful in classifying both botanical type and geographical origin, while Cluster Analysis only worked for botanical type. Probabilistic Neural Network analysis correctly classified 85.3% of samples based on geographical origin and 73.3% based on organic characterization. A Partial Least Squares model was constructed with a prediction accuracy of over 95%, using information from rare earths and trace elements for classification of honey samples.

Summary: Geographical traceability of marine bivalves is essential for ensuring quality and protecting the interests of consumers and producers. This study demonstrates the potential of using neodymium isotopic ratios as a tracer for the geographic origin of Ruditapes philippinarum shells. The Nd-143/Nd-144 ratios of clam shells from Japanese and Chinese coastal areas show a heterogeneous pattern, reflecting the geological age of the catchment area. The findings highlight the importance of using Nd-143/Nd-144 as a powerful tool in exposing fraud labeling and ensuring the authenticity of marine bivalves.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of attentional resources and emotional reactivity on emotional memory enhancement in adolescents and adults. The results showed that age and attentional resources had an interaction effect on emotional memory enhancement, with higher levels observed in adults compared to adolescents and in the sufficient attentional resources task. Negative emotions were significantly higher than positive and neutral emotions, and positive emotions were significantly higher than neutral emotions. Emotional reactivity and age also had an interaction effect on emotional memory enhancement, with adolescents and adults with high emotional reactivity showing significantly higher levels of negative emotions compared to positive and neutral emotions. Emotional memory enhancement was moderated by attentional resources during the encoding process and emotional reactivity.

Summary: This study investigates the track irregularity in electron beam selective melting of Ti-6Al-4V and identifies two main mechanisms, necking and fluctuation, as the formation mechanisms. Powder coalescence behavior leads to track fluctuation, while the development of the melt pool mitigates this fluctuation. The track irregularity in a multi-layer building process increases the possibility of voids generation and development, emphasizing the importance of explicitly considering the discrete particles for accurate prediction of build quality.

Summary: Lattice metamaterials are increasingly used in weight-critical applications, and additive manufacturing technology provides more design freedoms. A new homogenization method based on finite element methods was proposed for accurate modeling of the mechanical behavior of complex microstructures. The mapping relation between lattice and finite element mesh, as well as edge effects, were clarified and modeled. The homogenization approach showed high numerical accuracy and outperformed the classical continuum model.

Summary: Surrogate tristructural-isotropic (TRISO)-coated fuel particles were oxidized in 0.2 kPa O-2 to examine the behavior of the SiC layer. The analysis of the resulting SiO2 layers showed a majority of smooth, amorphous SiO2 with a constant thickness indicative of passive oxidation. The activation energy for oxide growth was consistent across all temperatures and the presence of irregular grain size influenced the oxidation response of the SiC layer.

Summary: A novel ternary NiPx/NiWO4/WO3 photoanode with a heterojunction and cocatalyst was fabricated by an in situ phosphatization process. The heterojunction between NiWO4 and WO3 improved electron-hole pair separation and transfer, while NiPx acted as a cocatalyst to accelerate the surface water oxidation reaction. Compared to the pristine WO3 film, the photocurrent density at 1.23 V vs. RHE was increased by 2.55-fold.

Summary: In this study, a multifunctional bilayer composite actuator with controllable structures and high photothermal conversion efficiency was designed and prepared. The actuator, consisting of a graphene/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite layer and a PDMS layer, exhibited good hydrophobicity, high photothermal conversion performance, and rapid photo-response capability. By thermal regulation, ultraviolet laser cutting, and assembly, the actuator achieved shape programmable configuration in three-dimensional directions. Bionic crawling robots achieved a crawling speed of 0.065mm/s, and liquid tracking robots achieved various complex motions. This work provides a simple and effective method for the preparation and realization of multifunctional actuators based on graphene composite materials.

Summary: Ultra-high-efficiency green perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are achieved by regulating charge carrier transport and near-field light distribution to reduce electron leakage and enhance light outcoupling efficiency, resulting in quantum efficiencies surpassing 30%. This is accomplished by using Ni0.9Mg0.1Ox films with high refractive index and increased hole carrier mobility as the hole injection layer, and inserting a polyethylene glycol layer between the hole transport layer and the perovskite emissive layer to block electron leakage and reduce photon loss. This study provides an interesting idea for constructing super high-efficiency PeLEDs by balancing electron-hole recombination and enhancing light outcoupling.

Summary: In this study, a 3D clean cascade-enhanced nanosensor assisted by machine learning algorithms was developed for accurate and ultrasensitive identification of multiple pollutants. The SERS substrate achieved cascading electromagnetic energy with a remarkable enhancement factor of 8.35 x 109, thanks to the combination of micro-level polystyrene sphere porous array and nano-level Au-Ag clusters. With high cleanliness and ultra-sensitivity, hazardous pollutants with similar geometry and Raman peaks at ultra-low concentration were successfully distinguished using principal component analysis. Therefore, this efficient and clean SERS substrate, coupled with artificial intelligence, could advance the application of SERS technology in accurate identification of trace contaminants.

Summary: The study reveals that JMJD1C is highly expressed in a PAH mouse model, and its inhibition can ameliorate pathological features of PAH. JMJD1C knockdown reduces PASMC proliferation and impairs their adaptation to hypoxia, while suppressing the STAT3 signaling pathway. The findings suggest that JMJD1C induces glycolytic processes and promotes PASMC proliferation and pulmonary vascular remodeling in PAH.

Summary: Laser cladding is a promising technique for fabrications, remanufacturing, and repair of metallic components. Residual stresses caused by melting and solidification in the process often lead to geometric discrepancies and deterioration of the end product. A hybrid FEM scheme is adopted to efficiently predict the temperature field, residual stress, and distortion in multilayer powder-fed laser cladding. The accuracy of the simulation is validated through experiments, showing precise agreement for residual stress and distortion measurements.
