Drought before fire increases tree mortality after fire by C. Alina Cansler, Micah C. Wright, Phillip J. vanMantgem, Timothy M. Shearman, J. Morgan Varner, Sharon M. Hood

“…To evaluate whether drought increases the likelihood of post‐fire tree mortality, we used a large database of tree survival and mortality from 32 years of wildland fires covering four dominant western North American conifers. We used Bayesian hierarchical modeling to predict the probability of individual tree mortality after fire based on species—Pinus contorta (lodgepole pine), Abies concolor (white fir), Pseudotsuga menziesii (Douglas‐fir), and Pinus ponderosa (ponderosa pine)—bark thickness, bark char, percentage live tree crown scorched or consumed crown volume scorch (CVS), and mean annual climatic water deficit (CWD) anomalies the year pre‐fire and fire year relative to the 1985–2015 reference period. …”

High piezoelectric property with exceptional stability in self-poled ferroelectric films by Lisha Liu, Jiaojiao Yi, Kun Xu, Zhen Liu, Mingmeng Tang, Le Dai, Xuan Gao, Yang Liu, Shuhao Wang, Zhang Zhang, Liang Shu, Jing-Feng Li, Shujun Zhang, Yaojin Wang

“…Here, we reveal the prerequisites for self-poling and leverage these insights to achieve unprecedented macroscopic performance through a two-step approach involving texture construction and hierarchical heterogeneity engineering. The significant [001] texture and fine Zr/Ti heterogeneity, facilitated by a PbO-TiO2 buffer, enable a piezoelectric charge coefficient of 550 pC/N in self-poled Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 film. …”

Relationship between Illness Perception and Depressive Symptoms among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in China: A Mediating Role of Coping Style by Jiarui Li, Xiaohui Qiu, Xiuxian Yang, Jiawei Zhou, Xiongzhao Zhu, Erying Zhao, Zhengxue Qiao, Yanjie Yang, Depin Cao

“…Nine hundred and thirty-nine T2DM patients were recruited from a grade 3 Class A hospital in Harbin, China, and asked to complete a demographic questionnaire as well as the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire-Revised (IPQ-R), and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ). Hierarchical linear regression analysis and the bootstrap method were preformed to examine if coping style influenced the relationship between illness perception and depression. …”

ZIF-8/PLA porous composite microspheres: preparation, characterization, and effective removal of gaseous benzene by Jiali Li, Peijian Sun, Yipeng Wang, Xuehui Sun, Bin Peng, Weili Xu, Mengmeng Liu, Cong Nie

“…The adsorption capacity of gaseous benzene on these ZIF-8/PLA microspheres is as high as 77–238 mg/g and 18%–44% of benzene can be removed from the cigarette smoke by using these ZIF-8/PLA microspheres as absorbents due to the interconnected hierarchical porous network enhancing the fast gas diffusion and the strong π-π stacking interactions of ZIF-8 towards aromatic hydrocarbons, showing the great potential of these ZIF-8/PLA microspheres as adsorbents for efficient removal of gaseous benzene.…”
