    Abstract The symmetric C-D stretching mode is a spectator mode in the H + CHD3 → H2 + CD3 reaction. Effects of multiple vibrational excitations of the CHD3 reactant are studied with the quantum transition-state (QTS) framework and an eight-dimensional (8D) model Hamiltonian developed by Palma and Clary. By including many thermal flux eigenstates, results have been obtained up to high energies, allowing the study of the symmetric C-D stretching spectator mode. A new concept of a state-specific thermal flux operator is proposed to analyze the C-D stretching spectator mode in detail, providing a new and insightful venue for studying transition-state control of chemical reactions. Furthermore, as a spectator mode, whether the C-D stretching motion can be excluded in a seven-dimensional (7D) model has not been fully interrogated, although the 7D model is a reasonable approximation and has provided accurate theoretical predictions. By comparing with available results of full-dimensional calculations, both the 7D and 8D models predict reasonably accurate results. However, the 7D model underestimates the mixing of two vibrational states that are in Fermi resonance. Despite its spectator nature, the C-D stretch is important in the dynamical modeling of chemical reaction systems affected by state mixing.

    Abstract Bottlebrush polymers (BBPs), composed of relatively short polymeric side chains densely grafted on a polymer backbone, exhibit many unique characteristics and hold promise for a variety of applications. This Perspective focuses on environmentally induced shape-changing behavior of BBPs at interface and in solution, particularly worm/star-globule shape transitions. While BBPs with a single type of homopolymer or random copolymer side chains have been shown to undergo pronounced worm-to-globule shape changes in response to external stimuli, the collapsed brushes are unstable and prone to aggregation. By introducing a second, solvophilic polymer into the side chains, either as a distinct type of side chain or as the outer block of block copolymer side chains, the collapsed brushes not only are stabilized but also create unimolecular micellar nanostructures, which can be used for, e.g., encapsulation and delivery of substances. The current challenges in the design, synthesis, and characterization of stimuli-responsive shape-changing BBPs are discussed.

    Abstract Ultrafine particle (UFP) pollution should be controlled to reduce its effects on health. The design of control measures is limited owing to the uncertainty of source contributions in Chinese residences, where indoor UFP pollution is more severe than in Western residences. Herein, a source-specific, time-dependent UFP concentration model was developed by applying an infiltration factor model incorporating coagulation effects. A Monte Carlo framework with the UFP concentration model was employed to estimate the probabilistic distribution of source contributions in Chinese residences. The input parameter distributions were determined based on our survey and previous studies. The annually averaged indoor UFP concentration was estimated at (2.75 ± 1.71) × 10

    Abstract The expansion of impervious surfaces during urbanization, as well as the irrationality of their spatial layout, is one of the main causes of urban waterlogging. Optimizing the spatial layout of impervious surfaces through urban renewal is important for urban waterlogging prevention. The differences in hydrological conditions among different hydrological units affect the optimization efficiency of the spatial layout of impervious surfaces in different hydrological units. Therefore, this study proposes an effective optimization model for impervious surface spatial layout, employing a hybrid approach that couples the Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS-CN) model, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm 2 (NSGA2), and multiple linear programming (MLP) algorithm. This approach is applied in a case study of Guangzhou, China. The results show that (1) compared to the MLP-SCS model, the enhanced model not only provides reduced runoff coefficients but also achieves a better spatial balance of the retention water volume. (2) Compared to the conditions before optimization, medium- and high-density impervious surfaces significantly change after optimization, and the connectivity between patches is reduced. The optimized layout alters the original gradient connection method, preventing the aggregation of runoff from high-density impervious surfaces and thereby reducing the risk of urban waterlogging during heavy rain. This study can provide a reference for optimizing the spatial layout of impervious surfaces aimed at urban waterlogging prevention in urban renewal planning.

    Abstract To estimate the feasibility of diagnosing ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer through endometrial cytology, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to calculate the pooled positive rate of malignant cells in endometrial cytology samples. We queried PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trails from inception to November 12, 2020 for studies estimating positive rates of malignant cells in endometrial cytology samples from patients with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer. The positive rates of the included studies were calculated as pooled positive rate through meta-analyses of proportion. Subgroup analysis based on different sampling methods was conducted. Seven retrospective studies involving 975 patients were included. Pooled positive rate of malignant cells in endometrial cytology specimens of ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer patients was 23% (95% CI: 16% - 34%). Statistical heterogeneity between the included studies was considerable (

    Abstract Volunteers trained in environmental science are the backbone of environmental protection. Therefore, it is necessary to study the pro-environmental behaviors of volunteers trained in environmental science and guide them to actively participate in pro-environmental actions. Compared with other kind of volunteers, volunteers trained in environmental science have more expertise on the premises, can this expertise strengthen their willingness to volunteer? Taking a group of university alumni trained in environmental science in city H as an example (N = 2349), this study investigates the potential mechanism of the positive spillover effect of volunteers trained in environmental science behavior. The volunteers in this sample showed the phenomenon of “the more training, the more willingness”: the degree to which environmental protection volunteers received environmental science education strengthened alumni’s willingness to participate. This paper uses the theory of planned behavior as a theoretical framework and serial mediation model as a methodology to investigate the factors that affect the willingness to participate in environmental protection volunteer services. This study identifies two paths from volunteer behavior to willingness: (1) profession → identity → willingness; and (2) profession → identity → pleasure → willingness. It is believed that the main intermediary variable of environmental protection volunteer participation is the sense of identity gained from receiving environmental protection education. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize that the sense of identity is internalized into cognition and transformed into positive emotions, so as to promote the participation willingness of environmental protection volunteers.

    Abstract Background: The symptoms of functional constipation (FC) were obviously affected by mental symptoms, which was consistent with somatic symptoms. However, the characteristics of FC patients with somatic symptom remains unexplored.
    Methods: Clinical characteristics including somatic symptom (SOM, PHQ-15), depression (PHQ-9), anxiety (GAD-7), quality of life (PAC-QOL), constipation (KESS), demographic variables, anatomical abnormalities and symptoms were investigated. Subsequent analyses encompassed the comparison of clinical parameters between patients with SOM + group (PHQ-15 ≥ 10) and SOM- group (PHQ-15 < 10), subgroup analysis, correlation analysis, and logistic regression. Lastly, we evaluated the somatic symptom severity (SSS) among FC patients subjected to various stressors.
    Results: Notable disparities were observed between SOM + and SOM- groups in variety of physiological and psychological variables, including gender, stressful events, sleep disorders, reduced interest, GAD-7, PHQ-15, PHQ-9, PAC-QOL, anterior rectocele, KESS, and internal anal sphincter achalasia (IASA) (P < 0.05). Subgroup analysis affirmed consistent findings across mental symptoms. Correlation analyses revealed significant associations between SSS and KESS, anterior rectocele, GAD-7, PHQ-9, and PAC-QOL (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified PHQ-9 (OR = 7.02, CI: 2.06-27.7, P = 0.003), GAD-7 (OR = 7.18, CI: 2.00-30.7, P = 0.004), and KESS (OR = 16.8, CI: 3.09-113, P = 0.002) as independent predictors of SSS. Elevated SSS scores were significantly associated with couple, parental, and work-related stressors (P < 0.05).
    Conclusion: A marked heterogeneity was observed between SOM + and SOM- patients of FC, with SOM + accompanied by more severe constipation, anxiety and depression symptoms. This finding underscores the importance of considering somatic symptoms in diagnosis and treatment of FC.
