    Abstract Abnormal calcium homeostasis, activation of protease calpain, generation of p25 and hyperactivation of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) have all been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurogenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease. We have recently shown that extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (eCIRP) induces Cdk5 activation via p25. However, the precise molecular mechanism by which eCIRP regulates calcium signaling and calpain remains to be addressed. We hypothesized that eCIRP regulates p25 via Ca

    Abstract Power efficiency of photovoltaic cell is significantly affected by the cell temperature. Here, a self-recovering passive cooling unit is developed. The water-saturated zeolite 13X is coated on the back side of photovoltaic cell, and ammonium nitrate is dispersed as a layer to form a thin film. When heat is supplied, water is desorbed from zeolite 13X (latent cooling), and dissolves ammonium nitrate to induce endothermic reaction cooling. It is a reversible process that recovers itself at night. The unit works on the basis that the water sorption performance of porous materials is inversely proportional to temperature, and the solubility of endothermic reaction pairs increases proportionally with temperature. The average temperature of photovoltaic cell can be reduced by 15.1 °C, and the cooling energy density reaches 2,876 kJ/kg with average cooling power of 403 W/m

    Abstract An efficient heating system for the cabin of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) is required to minimize the reduction in the driving range. However, studies regarding heat pumps that use waste heat from fuel cell stack and electric devices in FCEVs are limited. In this study, the heating performance of a coolant-source heat pump using waste heat in FCEVs is investigated by varying the inlet air temperature, compressor speed, coolant temperature, and coolant volumetric flow rate. A novel triple-fluid heat exchanger is introduced to recover waste heat from the fuel cell stack and electric devices at different temperatures. The heating performance of the coolant-source heat pump depends significantly on the compressor speed, and the heating capacity is inversely proportional to the COP. The effects of the coolant temperature are also investigated in the stack, electric device, and hybrid coolant modes. The stack coolant mode exhibits a relatively higher heating capacity than the electric device coolant mode owing to the higher refrigerant flow rate resulting from the increased evaporating pressure. The heating performance of the coolant-source heat pumps using the electric device coolant and the stack coolant shows different characteristics owing to the different temperature levels of the coolants. In conclusion, using the coolant-source heat pump improves the driving range of FCEVs by 10.8% compared with using the conventional electric heater under cold ambient conditions.

    Abstract Interest has grown in services that consume a significant amount of energy, such as large language models (LLMs), and research is being conducted worldwide on synaptic devices for neuromorphic hardware. However, various complex processes are problematic for the implementation of synaptic properties. Here, synaptic characteristics are implemented through a novel method, namely side chain control of conjugated polymers. The developed devices exhibit the characteristics of the biological brain, especially spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), high-pass filtering, and long-term potentiation/depression (LTP/D). Moreover, the fabricated synaptic devices show enhanced nonvolatile characteristics, such as long retention time (≈10

    Abstract In this study, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance improvement of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) is investigated using a low magnetic field density. The transient performance of a PEMFC using a magnetic field (MF-PEMFC) was measured and analyzed by varying the cell temperature, voltage, relative humidity, and pre-humidification time. Based on the results, the mechanism of the performance improvement of MF-PEMFC was revealed, and a strategy to maximize its performance was proposed. Enhanced oxygen mobility by a magnetic field led to a higher ORR performance and membrane humidification was accelerated by the vigorous ORR. The performance improvement of MF-PEMFC was more substantial under unfavorable membrane humidification conditions such as high temperature and low operating voltage. The maximum performance improvement of MF-PEMFC compared to that of normal PEMFC was 8.6% at 40% relative humidity, 0.30 V voltage, and 80 ℃ cell temperature due to an enhanced self-humidification effect. In addition, the maximum performance improvement and stability of MF-PEMFC were obtained with the proper pre-humidification time. In conclusion, using a magnetic field can improve the performance and stability of PEMFCs under unfavorable operating conditions.

    Abstract The use of solar-assisted ground-source heat pumps (SGSHPs) with serial and parallel configurations can reduce the energy consumption compared with conventional ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs). However, the environmental and economic issues associated with SGSHPs, which involve high initial costs and CO₂ emissions, remain major barriers to their application. Therefore, SGSHPs should be carefully designed considering both the economic and environmental circumstances to guarantee their competitiveness over GSHPs. In this study, multi-objective optimization of SGSHPs with serial and parallel configurations was conducted to minimize the life-cycle cost (LCC) and climate performance (LCCP). Based on the estimated energy consumption using Transient System Simulation Tool (TRNSYS), the design parameters and refrigerants of the SGSHPs were optimized using an artificial neural network and multi-objective genetic algorithm in the four heating-dominated regions. The optimized SGSHP with a parallel configuration exhibited lower LCC and LCCP by up to 7% and 10%, respectively, compared to that with a serial configuration. Furthermore, as building insulation technology improves, the optimal system size decreases. In addition, R134a is the best option for minimizing LCC owing to its high performance, whereas R1234yf is the best option for minimizing LCCP in Helsinki and Stockholm, showing up to a 37% reduction in LCCP.

    Abstract Cell death can occur through numerous regulated mechanisms, from apoptosis to necrosis, entosis, and others. Each has a distinct mode of regulation and effect on tissue homeostasis. While the elimination of individual cells is typically considered the relevant physiologic endpoint of cell death, in some cases the remnants left behind by death can also function to support tissue homeostasis. Here we discuss specific functions of the end products of cell death, and how "after-death" functions may contribute to the roles of programmed cell death in physiology.

    Abstract Solar-assisted heat pumps integrated with photovoltaic thermal modules (PVT-HPs) have been extensively studied owing to their superior heating performance. However, the investigation of PVT-HPs using low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants to replace R134a is required to comply with environmental regulations. This study aimed to investigate the substitutability of R1234yf, R1234ze(E), and R152a in PVT-HPs based on energy, economic, and environmental analyses. The heating performance of heat pumps using these low-GWP refrigerants was measured. Furthermore, transient simulations were performed using transient system simulation software to determine the annual performance of the PVT-HPs using low-GWP refrigerants. Based on the simulation results, the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) and Specific Life Cycle Climate Performance (SLCCP) were evaluated. R152a was the most economical refrigerant, showing a 50% reduction in LCOE compared to R134a because of its lower electricity purchase cost and higher sale cost. Furthermore, the SLCCPs of PVT-HPs using R1234yf, R1234ze(E), and R152a decreased by 16.8%, 17.5%, and 20.8%, respectively, compared to those using R134a. Accordingly, the refrigerant substitutability index of R152a was the highest at 1.431, owing to its superior economic and environmental performance. In conclusion, only R152a was deemed appropriate for replacing R134a in PVT-HPs.

    Abstract Background: Neutrophils are the most abundant innate immune cells in the circulating blood, and they act as the first responder against bacterial and fungal infection. However, accumulation of activated neutrophils can cause severe inflammation and tissue damage. Recently, neutrophil trogocytosis or membrane transfer with neighboring cells was reported to modulate immune responses. Extracellular cold-inducible RNA binding protein (eCIRP) is a newly identified damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP). eCIRP can activate neutrophils to be more pro-inflammatory. This study aimed to identify the role of eCIRP in neutrophil trogocytosis during their trans-endothelial migration.
    Methods: A trans-endothelial migration (TEM) assay using bone marrow neutrophils and mouse primary lung vascular endothelial cells was conducted using transwell chambers and neutrophil trogocytosis was assessed in vitro. In an in vivo mouse model of acute lung injury, neutrophil trogocytosis was assessed from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
    Results: In TEM assay, the trogocytosis of neutrophils occurred during trans-endothelial migration and eCIRP significantly increased the percentage of these neutrophils. The trogocytosed neutrophils acquired the endothelial membrane containing junctional adhesion molecule-C (JAM-C) and VE-cadherin, and these membrane patches were polarized by Mac-1 binding. Furthermore, eCIRP-induced JAM-C positive trogocytosed neutrophils are more pro-inflammatory than the JAM-C negative counterpart. JAM-C positive trogocytosed neutrophils were also observed in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of a mouse model of acute lung injury.
    Conclusion: These data suggest that during the paracellular trans-endothelial migration of neutrophils in response to inflammation, eCIRP induces trogocytosis of neutrophils, and the trogocytosed neutrophils exhibit an exaggerated pro-inflammatory phenotype promoting acute lung injury.
