Summary: Vertebroplasty is a common treatment for painful osteoporotic vertebral fractures, but the timing of the procedure varies between centres and regions. Studies have shown mixed results, with some indicating more benefit from early vertebroplasty and others showing no additional benefit compared to placebo. This review examines data from both blinded and open label randomised studies to specifically evaluate the use of early vertebroplasty for patients with severely painful acute osteoporotic fractures.

Summary: S-doped porous carbon cage (SPCC) obtained by catalytic guidance methodology is utilized as an efficient S host material for Li-S batteries, demonstrating higher electrical conductivity and abundant pore channels compared to undoped porous carbon cage. The composite of sublimed S and SPCC (S@SPCC) as cathode exhibits higher reversible capacity, superior rate capability, and better durability in comparison with S@PCC cathode. The synergistic effect of robust matrix, good electrical conductivity, and abundant pore channels of SPCC facilitates fast electron transport and shortens Li-ion diffusion distance, while S doping attracts Li-polysulfides, inhibits their shuttle, and contributes to the superior electrode behavior of S@SPCC cathode.

Summary: By studying a hybrid system consisting of a semi-submersible platform and heaving point absorber wave energy converters (WECs), this research has found that a new prominent power peak occurs in the so-called synchronized mode regardless of the layout of the WECs. In this mode, the power of a single WEC can increase by up to 41.4% and the total power by up to 26.7%, but the heave motion of the platform increases. The WECs have a small impact on the surge motion and pitch motion of the platform except for near the synchronized mode frequency, where they reduce the resonant heave motion at the natural frequency. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamic and power performance of wind-wave hybrid systems, offering detailed configurations and potential guidance for practical design and application.

Summary: Thermal metamaterials provide rich control of heat transport by breaking the Onsager reciprocity and introducing thermal convection, leading to a regime beyond effective heat conduction. A continuous switch from thermal cloaking to thermal concentration is demonstrated in a liquid-solid hybrid thermal metamaterial with external tuning. This switch is achieved by tuning the liquid flow, resulting in a topology transition in the virtual space of the thermotic transformation. These findings illustrate the extraordinary heat transport in complex multicomponent thermal metamaterials and pave the way toward an unprecedented regime of heat manipulation.

Summary: Cost-effective polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were used to fabricate hyper-cross-linked polymers (HCLPs) via an external cross-linker knitting method (ECLKM) followed by N-source impregnation modification. The resulting materials exhibited high thermal stability, large specific surface areas, narrow pore distributions, and high pore volumes. The effects of porosities and N-doping modification on the CO2 capture capacities of HCLPs were fully studied, and it was found that porosities played a dominant role in the CO2 uptake process compared to N-doping modification. This study provides a simple strategy for constructing HCLPs with excellent CO2 capture performances using PAHs.

Summary: The proposed space-time-coding electromagnetic metasurface introduces the temporal dimension into artificial structure design, expanding its digital application in information processing. However, the absence of temporal dimension in thermal digital metamaterial limits the synergetic modulation of thermal signal in time and space. This study introduces temporal modulation into existing spatially variable thermal coding structures and proposes a space-time thermal binary coding scheme, demonstrating a practical strategy for thermal binary coding and providing a prototype for spatiotemporal regulation of thermal signal.

Summary: This paper investigates the buckling enhancement of the negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) effect on a laminated plate under uniaxial compression with an in-plane translational restraint. By studying the buckling equation and lamination parameters, it is found that the critical buckling load of an NPR-laminated composite can be increased due to the induced tension force on the unloaded direction under compression. The Poisson's ratio contours and buckling load enhancement are analyzed, and the inverse problem of deciding the laminate configuration is solved using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm.

Summary: The wave power absorption of a heaving-body wave energy converter can be improved by deploying it near a coastal wall, harbour pier, or breakwater and making it highly asymmetric. This research proposes a semi-analytical model to analyze the coupling between the geometric asymmetry of the converter and the partial reflecting boundaries of the walls. Results show that the wall increases the power performance by increasing the reflection rate.

Summary: In this study, a dysprosium-containing mono-EMF with a C-84 cage, possessing rare D-2(21) symmetry, was successfully synthesized. Theoretical calculations revealed that the encapsulation of a trivalent Dy ion in the carbon cage is energetically more favorable than other C-84-based mono-EMFs. This work not only expands the trivalent mono-EMF family but also provides insights into the unique structures and stabilities of such novel EMFs.
