    Abstract Scalp electrical burns unsuitable for primary closure after debridement have traditionally been treated by modalities that cause significant morbidity and are aesthetically inferior to tension-free primary wound closure. Due to advances in research on the biomechanical properties of skin, various devices for skin stretching and safe wound closure have been reported in the literature that are expensive and inaccessible to poor people in the developing countries. We present our experience using cable ties as an effective, easy to use, readily available, and inexpensive top closure system.

    Abstract Gels are attracting materials for energy storage technologies. The strategic development of hydrogels with enhanced physicochemical properties, such as superior mechanical strength, flexibility, and charge transport capabilities, introduces novel prospects for advancing next-generation batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors. Through a refined comprehension of gelation chemistry, researchers have achieved notable progress in fabricating hydrogels endowed with stimuli-responsive, self-healing, and highly stretchable characteristics. This mini-review delineates the integration of hydrogels into batteries, fuel cells, and supercapacitors, showcasing compelling instances that underscore the versatility of hydrogels, including tailorable architectures, conductive nanostructures, 3D frameworks, and multifunctionalities. The ongoing application of creative and combinatorial approaches in functional hydrogel design is poised to yield materials with immense potential within the domain of energy storage.

    Abstract Accurate observation of patient functioning is necessary for rigorous clinical research and for improving the quality of patient care. However, clinic or laboratory environments systematically differ from the contexts of everyday life. Further, assessments that are completed in a single institutional session may not be generalizable. Here, we describe a computer vision methodology that measures human functioning continuously in the environments where patients live, sleep, and eat.

    Abstract Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning approach to learn models on decentralized heterogeneous data, without the need for clients to share their data. Many existing FL approaches assume that all clients have equal importance and construct a global objective based on all clients. We consider a version of FL we call Prioritized FL, where the goal is to learn a weighted mean objective of a subset of clients, designated as priority clients. An important question arises: How do we choose and incentivize well aligned non priority clients to participate in the federation, while discarding misaligned clients? We present FedALIGN (Federated Adaptive Learning with Inclusion of Global Needs) to address this challenge. The algorithm employs a matching strategy that chooses non priority clients based on how similar the models loss is on their data compared to the global data, thereby ensuring the use of non priority client gradients only when it is beneficial for priority clients. This approach ensures mutual benefits as non priority clients are motivated to join when the model performs satisfactorily on their data, and priority clients can utilize their updates and computational resources when their goals align. We present a convergence analysis that quantifies the trade off between client selection and speed of convergence. Our algorithm shows faster convergence and higher test accuracy than baselines for various synthetic and benchmark datasets.

    Abstract Motivation: Pairwise sequence alignment is a heavy computational burden, particularly in the context of third-generation sequencing technologies. This issue is commonly addressed by approximately estimating sequence similarities using a hash-based method such as MinHash. In MinHash, all k-mers in a read are hashed and the minimum hash value, the min-hash, is stored. Pairwise similarities can then be estimated by counting the number of min-hash matches between a pair of reads, across many distinct hash functions. The choice of the parameter k controls an important tradeoff in the task of identifying alignments: larger k-values give greater confidence in the identification of alignments (high precision) but can lead to many missing alignments (low recall), particularly in the presence of significant noise.
    Results: In this work, we introduce LexicHash, a new similarity estimation method that is effectively independent of the choice of k and attains the high precision of large-k and the high sensitivity of small-k MinHash. LexicHash is a variant of MinHash with a carefully designed hash function. When estimating the similarity between two reads, instead of simply checking whether min-hashes match (as in standard MinHash), one checks how "lexicographically similar" the LexicHash min-hashes are. In our experiments on 40 PacBio datasets, the area under the precision-recall curves obtained by LexicHash had an average improvement of 20.9% over MinHash. Additionally, the LexicHash framework lends itself naturally to an efficient search of the largest alignments, yielding an O(n) time algorithm, and circumventing the seemingly fundamental O(n2) scaling associated with pairwise similarity search.
    Availability and implementation: LexicHash is available on GitHub at https://github.com/gcgreenberg/LexicHash.

    Abstract The automotive industry is facing a crucial time. The transformation from internal combustion engines to new electrical technologies requires enormous investment, and hence the IC engines are likely to serve as a means of transportation for the coming decades. The search for sustainable green alternative fuel and operating parameter optimization is a current feasible solution and is a critical issue among the scientific community. Engine experiments are complicated, costly, and time-consuming, especially when the global economy is drastically down due to the COVID-19 pandemic and putting the limitation of social distancing. Industries are looking for proven computational solutions to address these issues. Recently, artificial neural network has been proven beneficial in several areas of engineering to reduce the time and experimentation cost. The IC engine is one of them. ANN has been used to predict and analyze different characteristics such as performance, combustion, and emissions of the IC engine to save time and energy. The complex nature of ANN may lead to computation time, energy, and space. Recent studies are centered on changing the network topology, deep learning, and design of ANN to get the highest performance. The present study summarizes the application of ANN to predict and optimize the complicated characteristics of various types of engines with different fuels. The study aims to investigate the network topologies adopted to design the model and thereafter statistical evaluation of the developed ANN models. A comparison of the ANN model with other prediction models is also presented.

    Abstract Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain at the forefront of energy research due to their capability to deliver high energy density. Understanding their degradation mechanism has been essential due to their rapid engagement in modern electric vehicles (EVs), where battery failure may incur huge losses to human life and property. The literature on this intimidating issue is rapidly growing and often very complex. This review strives to succinctly present current knowledge contributing to a more comprehensible understanding of the degradation mechanism. First, this review explains the fundamentals of LIBs and various degradation mechanisms. Then, the degradation mechanism of novel Li-rich cathodes, advanced characterization techniques for identifying it, and various theoretical models are presented and discussed. We emphasize that the degradation process is not only tied to the charge-discharge cycles; synthesis-induced stress also plays a vital role in catalyzing the degradation. Finally, we propose further studies on advanced battery materials that can potentially replace the layered cathodes.

    Abstract Enhancing the participation of the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) in several perovskites to significantly boost the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is daunting. With the rapid decline in fossil fuels, energy research is turning toward water splitting to produce usable hydrogen by significantly reducing overpotential for other half-cells’ OER. Recent studies have shown that in addition to the conventional adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM), participation of LOM can overcome their prevalent scaling relationship limitations. Here, we report the acid treatment strategy and bypass the cation/anion doping strategy to significantly enhance LOM participation. Our perovskite demonstrated a current density of 10 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of 380 mV and a low Tafel slope (65 mV dec −1 ) much lower than IrO 2 (73 mV dec −1 ). We propose that the presence of nitric acid-induced defects regulates the electronic structure and thereby lowers oxygen binding energy, allowing enhanced LOM participation to boost OER significantly.

    Abstract A green method has been developed using Gilloy (Tinospora Cordifolia) shoot extract to synthesize magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs). A further modification of MNPs was performed using anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), to remove cationic dye methyl violet (MV) efficiently from the solution. As an adsorbent, SDS modified MNPs (SDS-MNPs) were tested for their ability to remove MV dye. Synthesized MNPs were characterized by ultra violet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In batch adsorption experiments, the effect of adsorbent dosage, initial dye concentration, time, and pH was evaluated. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent for MV dye was found to be 174.2 mg g
