tobac v1.5: Introducing Fast 3D Tracking, Splits and Mergers, and Other Enhancements for Identifying and Analysing Meteorological Phenomena

There is a continuously increasing need for reliable feature detection and tracking tools based on objective analysis principles for use with meteorological data. Many tools have been developed over the previous two decades that attempt to 20 address this need, but most have limitations on the type of data they can be used with; computational and/or memory expenses that make them unwieldy with larger datasets; or require some form of data reduction prior to use that limits the tool’s utility. The Tracking and Object-Based Analysis of Clouds ( tobac ) Python package is a modular, open-source tool that improves on the overall generality and utility of past tools. A number of scientific improvements (three spatial dimensions, splits and mergers of features, an internal spectral filtering tool) and procedural enhancements (increased computational efficiency, 25 internal regridding of data, and treatments for periodic boundary conditions) have been included in tobac as a part of the tobac v1.5 update. These improvements have made tobac one of the most robust, powerful, and flexible identification and tracking tools in our field to date and expand its potential use in other fields. Future plans for tobac v2 are also discussed.
ELUCIDATING THE IMPACT OF ELECTRONIC WORD OF MOUTH TO THE INTENTION TO USE LINKEDIN FOR ASEAN JOBSEEKERS: MODERATING ROLE OF GENDER

LinkedIn is one of the most popular e-recruitment tools for job applicants. Although previous studies had explored the effectiveness of LinkedIn, the underlying cause of jobseekers' intention to use LinkedIn is still under-researched. This study examines the impact of Electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM) to the behavioral intention (BI) of jobseekers to use LinkedIn, using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the framework. The Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was applied to analyze 431 samples of ASEAN Jobseekers via SmartPLS 3. Findings show that eWOM positively influences the perceived ease of use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), and Attitude (AT) of jobseekers, which consequently positively impacts the jobseekers' behavioral intention (BI) to use LinkedIn. The mediating role of PEOU, PU. , and AT was also examined and shows that the three variables partially mediate the relationship between eWOM and BI. Theoretically, this study uncovers the significance of eWOM in new technology acceptance. Practically, managers can use this information to increase positive eWOM of their company’s LinkedIn profiles to attract more decent talents to the company. To the authors' knowledge, this study is one of the first investigations into how external variables influence the TAM Model in e-recruitment which uses regional samples instead of specific country-wide samples.
Lesion network mapping of eye-opening apraxia

Abstract Apraxia of eyelid opening (or eye-opening apraxia) is characterized by the inability to voluntarily open the eyes because of impaired supranuclear control. Here, we examined the neural substrates implicated in eye-opening apraxia through lesion network mapping. We analysed brain lesions from 27 eye-opening apraxia stroke patients and compared them with lesions from 20 aphasia and 45 hemiballismus patients serving as controls. Lesions were mapped onto a standard brain atlas using resting-state functional MRI data derived from 966 healthy adults in the Harvard Dataverse. Our analyses revealed that most eye-opening apraxia-associated lesions occurred in the right hemisphere, with subcortical or mixed cortical/subcortical involvement. Despite their anatomical heterogeneity, these lesions functionally converged on the bilateral dorsal anterior and posterior insula. The functional connectivity map for eye-opening apraxia was distinct from those for aphasia and hemiballismus. Hemiballismus lesions predominantly mapped onto the putamen, particularly the posterolateral region, while aphasia lesions were localized to language-processing regions, primarily within the frontal operculum. In summary, in patients with eye-opening apraxia, disruptions in the dorsal anterior and posterior insula may compromise their capacity to initiate the appropriate eyelid-opening response to relevant interoceptive and exteroceptive stimuli, implicating a complex interplay between salience detection and motor execution.
Organic and inorganic bromine compounds and their composition in the Arctic troposphere during polar sunrise

Particle and gas phase inorganic bromine, total organic bromine, and several individual organic bromine species were measured in the troposphere during the Polar Sunrise Experiment at Alert, Northwest Territories, Canada, during January 18 to April 21, 1992. The measurements revealed the following: (1) Particle bromide increased gradually from about 10 ng (Br) m−3 during the dark period to >20 ng(Br) m−3 during the light period, with a marked peak of 120 ng(Br) m−3 corresponding to a strong O3 depletion event. (2) Inorganic gaseous bromine (InorgBr) was about 60 ng(Br) m−3 during the dark period and relatively constant. A major peak, up to 280 ng(Br) m−3, before sunrise accompanied a similar peak in the total organic bromine. These episodes originated in the free troposphere over Greenland. After sunrise the peaks in InorgBr corresponded to O3 depletion periods. InorgBr appeared to be the sum of HBr, HOBr, and Br2. (3) Total organic bromine was relatively constant before sunrise at 100 ng(Br) m−3 but more variable afterward, up to 280 ng(Br) m−3. Individual species include CHBr3 with levels of 7–60 ng(Br) m−3. CH2Br2, CH2ClBr, CHClBr2, and CHCl2Br levels were lower at 0.5–7.5 ng(Br) m−3. CHBr3 was the largest contributor to total organic bromine of the five species, on average accounting for 23%, while the other four species amounted to less than 5% on average. CH3Br (not measured) should contribute 44% of total organic bromine assuming a concentration of 40 ng(Br) m−3 (11 parts per trillion by volume). The remaining contribution was probably from ”missing„ species which were episodically dominant after sunrise with concentrations up to 240 ng(Br) m−3 and may include some inorganic species. All the peaks in the organic bromines after sunrise corresponded to the O3 depletion events. (4) CHBr3, CHClBr2, and CHCl2Br were significantly correlated. The ratio CHClBr2/CHBr3 decreased linearly with increasing In(CHBr3), with a steeper decrease after sunrise than before. The decreases suggest different rates of destruction with CHBr3 having a larger rate constant than CHClBr2. A similar relationship existed between the ratio CHCl2Br/CHClBr2 and the In(CHClBr2), but the dark period slope was near zero, indicating a greater difference in rates in the two species in the light period.
29. Sr-, Nd-, AND Pb-ISOTOPIC COMPOSITION OF VOLCANIC ROCKS FROM THE SOUTHEAST GREENLAND MARGIN AT 63°N: TEMPORAL VARIATION IN CRUSTAL CONTAMINATION DURING CONTINENTAL BREAKUP 1

The southeast Greenland seaward-dipping reflector sequence (SDRS) is composed of Paleocene to Eocene volcanic rocks erupted during continental breakup. Volcanic rocks recovered from a transect across the SDRS at 63°N, during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 152, range in composition from picrite to dacite and represent all the magmatic phases in the development of the continental margin. The earliest magmas, represented by the pre-breakup succession at Site 917 (Lower and Middle Series), were strongly contaminated with continental crust, but the degree of contamination declined rapidly during the late stages of breakup (Site 917 Upper Series). Very low concentrations of incompatible elements in the uncontaminated primitive magmas made them extremely sensitive to the isotopic effects of crustal contamination. Basaltic rocks from the most seaward part of th e transect (Site 918) were erupted after breakup and show no signs of contamination with continental crust. Two distinct crustal contaminants can be recognized: (1) lower crustal basic granulite with unradiogenic Nd, Sr, and Pb; and (2) upper crustal amphibolite-facies gneiss with unradiogenic Nd but highly radiogenic Sr and high 208 Pb/ 204 Pb. The first contaminant affected only the earliest magmas, represented by the lower volcanic units in the Lower Series at Site 917. Later continental magmas were affected by the second contaminant, suggesting storage of magmas at progressively shallower levels in the crust as lithospheric extension proceeded toward continental breakup. The nature and degree of contamination are strikingly similar to those observed in the Hebridean Tertiary igneous province, which would have been adjacent to southeast Greenland during continental breakup.
The role of coal seam properties on coupled processes during CO2 sequestration: A parametric study

It has been proposed that a considerable amount of CO 2 can be safely sequestered from the atmosphere in geological formations such as coalbeds. In spite of promising evidence of the economic and technical viability of CO 2 sequestration in coal seams, many of its hydro‐geomechanical aspects are not fully understood. This paper presents a coupled hydro‐mechanical model that is used to assess the reservoir performance of a coalbed and the induced surface and subsurface deformations. A series of numerical simulations has been performed to study the effects of different parameters on the reservoir and geomechanical behaviors associated with CO 2 injection. A single‐phase dual‐porosity model is coupled to a one‐dimensional poroelastic model and an analytical model for the ground surface movements. Through these simulations, the role of three sets of parameters at different scales is investigated: fracture characteristics, matrix characteristics, and geomechanical/geometrical characteristics. The comparative impacts of these parameters on reservoir permeability, volume of the stored CO 2 , and deformations of the coalbed and the ground surface, are quantitatively assessed, in order to identify the most important parameters influencing the hydro‐mechanical response of the ground.
Exploration of middle school students’ scientific epistemological beliefs and their engagement in argumentation

Abstract Epistemological beliefs and argumentation are two important themes in science education, but research on the relationship between them is scarce. We treated epistemological beliefs in our study considering the cognitivist view of personal epistemology and included the justification, source, certainty, and development dimensions. We examined students’ engagement in argumentation by considering expositional comments, oppositional comments, information seeking, and co-construction of knowledge. Sixth-grade students participated in this study. We measured the students’ epistemological beliefs quantitatively before and after the argumentation activity to reveal any changes in their epistemological beliefs. We then used qualitative data to reveal how the students engaged in argumentation during whole-class discussions. Finally, we proposed possible connections between students’ epistemological beliefs and their engagement in argumentation. MANOVA results showed no significant change in students’ epistemological beliefs. Qualitative analyses revealed that students mainly used expositional comments during argumentation. Our findings suggested that the use of expositional comments can support the justification dimension of epistemological beliefs, but overuse of exposition can hinder other epistemological beliefs. Oppositional comments can feed the certainty and development dimensions of epistemological beliefs. Information-seeking can promote both the justification and source dimensions of epistemological beliefs. Finally, the use of co-construction of knowledge can improve both the justification and development dimensions of epistemological beliefs. The discussion and implication part addresses students’ epistemological beliefs, engagement in argumentation, and the connection between epistemological beliefs and argumentation.
A Single-Run HPLC–MS Multiplex Assay for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Relevant First- and Second-Line Antibiotics in the Treatment of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis

The treatment of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis relies on complex antibiotic therapy. Inadequate antibiotic exposure can lead to treatment failure, acquired drug resistance, and an increased risk of adverse events. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can be used to optimize the antibiotic exposure. Therefore, we aimed to develop a single-run multiplex assay using high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS) for TDM of patients with multidrug-resistant, pre-extensively drug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis. A target profile for sufficient performance, based on the intended clinical application, was established and the assay was developed accordingly. Antibiotics were analyzed on a zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column and a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer using stable isotope-labeled internal standards. The assay was sufficiently sensitive to monitor drug concentrations over five half-lives for rifampicin, rifabutin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, bedaquiline, linezolid, clofazimine, terizidone/cycloserine, ethambutol, delamanid, pyrazinamide, meropenem, prothionamide, and para-amino salicylic acid (PAS). Accuracy and precision were sufficient to support clinical decision making (≤±15% in clinical samples and ±20–25% in spiked samples, with 80% of future measured concentrations predicted to fall within ±40% of nominal concentrations). The method was applied in the TDM of two patients with complex drug-resistant tuberculosis. All relevant antibiotics from their regimens could be quantified and high-dose therapy was initiated, followed by microbiological conversion. In conclusion, we developed a multiplex assay that enables TDM of the relevant first- and second-line anti-tuberculosis medicines in a single run and was able to show its applicability in TDM of two drug-resistant tuberculosis patients.
A contemporary bibliometric analysis of the sharing economy literature

The study deployed an evaluative bibliometric analysis of contemporary literature on the topic of sharing economy indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) and/or Scopus within the fields of economics, business and management to provide an objective insight into its academic structure. Also, a comparative analysis of WoS and Scopus databases was conducted with the intention to examine the importance of both index databases concerning the investigated issue. Using a data-driven analysis, geographical distribution, the level of dispersion of papers among journals, the most frequently researched topics, the most influential authors, papers and scientific journals of the sharing economy knowledge within the predefined research field were determined. Comparative analysis of WoS and Scopus databases revealed that Scopus is a more comprehensive, but not more significant source of the sharing economy knowledge than WoS database, which itself could be characterized as an outstanding subset of Scopus.
Primer leontínido (Mammalia, Notoungulata) de la Formación Lumbrera (Subgrupo Santa Bárbara, Grupo Salta-Paleógeno) del noroeste argentino

Coquenia bondi gen. nov. et sp. nov., the first leontiniid of the Lumbrera Formation, is described. It was found at a new fossiliferous site called El Simbolar, situated north of Pampa Grande, Salta province, Argentina. It is represented by the skull and jaw with teeth. The teeth are brachyodont. The dental formula is 3/3; 1/1; 4/4; 3/3. Caniniform incisors, with lingual and labial cingulum. This feature associated with an I2 more developed than I1 and I3 indicates that this new taxon is a leontiniid. The crown of the upper canine is rotated, and has a lingual and labial cingulum. Upper premolars have an anterolingual cingulum which determines a small basin situated just in front of the protocone. Premolars increase greatly in size from the P1 to P4, being the P1 highly reduced. Upper molars show a lingual cingulum. All the molars have a posterior fossa. The M3 is wider towards to the base on its lingual side. Although Lumbrera Formation was considered Casamayoran in age, the taxon described in this paper, and other unpublished notoungulate remains found in the same stratigraphic level, suggests that the red beds overlaying the “Faja Verde II” would be substantially younger and could be interpreted as Mustersan or even grounger in age. These layers could be correlated with those of Casa Grande Formation in Jujuy province (Argentina).
Interpersonal Characteristics and Binge Eating among Patients Pursuing Bariatric Surgery

Background: Preoperative binge eating behavior has been associated with difficulties in weight loss maintenance among patients pursuing bariatric surgery. However, limited data exists on the relationship between interpersonal difficulties and binge eating. Objectives: To identify interpersonal factors linked with binge eating among bariatric surgery candidates. Setting: One hundred and seventeen adult bariatric surgery candidates (BMI = 42.2 ± 5.2) from three different hospitals completed questionnaires on the day of their bariatric committee meeting for operation approval. Methods: Binge eating was assessed using the Questionnaire on Eating and Weight Patterns-5 (QEWP-5) as a dichotomous variable. Self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and interpersonal characteristics were evaluated using the short version of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-32). Sociodemographic variables (age, gender, income, education) and BMI were considered as confounders. Results: Approximately 25% of bariatric surgery candidates reported experiencing binge eating episodes within the previous three months. Participants with binge eating exhibited significantly lower self-esteem and more interpersonal difficulties, particularly in the domains of aggressiveness and dependence, compared to those without binge eating. Logistic regression analysis revealed that aggressiveness was a significant predictor of binge eating in this sample. Conclusions: This study is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to investigate the relationship between interpersonal difficulties and binge eating among bariatric surgery candidates. The findings highlight the significant contribution of aggressiveness to binge eating and emphasize the importance of clinicians assessing patients’ interpersonal functioning, particularly with regard to aggressiveness, as a factor that may contribute to the maintenance and occurrence of binge eating behaviors.
A Review of Deep Learning Models for Twitter Sentiment Analysis: Challenges and Opportunities

—Microblogging site Twitter is one of the most influential online social media websites, that offers a platform for the masses to communicate, express their opinions, and share information on a wide range of subjects and products, resulting in the creation of a large amount of unstructured data. This has attracted significant attention from researchers, who seek to understand and analyze the sentiments contained within this massive user-generated text. The task of sentiment analysis entails extracting and identifying user opinions from the text, and various lexicon and machine learning-based methods have been developed over the years to accomplish this. However, deep learning-based approaches have recently become dominant due to their superior performance. The current study briefs on standard preprocessing techniques and various word embeddings for data preparation. It then delves into a taxonomy to provide a comprehensive summary of deep learning-based approaches. Additionally, the work compiles popular benchmark datasets and highlights evaluation metrics employed for performance measures as well as the resources available in the public domain to aid sentiment analysis tasks. Furthermore, the survey discusses domain-specific practical applications of sentiment analysis tasks. Finally, the study concludes with various research challenges and outlines future outlooks for further investigation.
Influence of Sodium Citrate Concentration on the Formation of Silver Nanoparticles and Acti Bacterials Studies

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been frequently studied in the scientific field due to their physical, chemical and biological properties. These characteristics are influenced by the nanomaterials' size, morphology and composition , allowing the application of AgNPs in the biomedical area due to their antimicrobial action. This work studied the influence of sodium citr ate concentration on the size of silver nanoparticles. Characterization techniques such as DLS and UV visible spectr oscopy were applied to analyze nanoparticle stability, size and polydispersity index. Characterization was carried out using a UV Vis Spectrophotometer and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope). Analysis of the UV Vis spectra shows that the relatively sta ble nanoparticles at the maximum wavelength measurement of 417 to 418 nm are synthesized using 35, 55 and 100 mmol/L of sodium citrate. Characterization using TEM and XRD analysis shows that silver nanoparticles synthesized based on sodium citrate concentr ation have the smallest size in the 15.5 34.56 nm range with a face centred cubic (FCC) crystal structure. The nanoparticles utilized in this study demonstrated greater antimicrobial activity against Gram positive bacteria than Gram negative bacteria.
The use of protein-carbohydrate composition of okara, chickpea flour and whey protein in the technology of minced meat cutlets

Kazakhstan's market for producing minced meat semi-finished products is not sufficiently developed. At the same time, the demand for products of the “economy” segment is growing. Providing balanced recipes for semi-finished meat products, with a rational combination of raw materials of animal and vegetable origin, is a significant problem. Chopped meat cutlets with high nutritional and low energy value have been developed, which are not inferior in functional and technological properties and sensory characteristics to traditional products. Pork and wheat bread were excluded from the recipes, with a replacement for lamb or broiler chicken meat in combination with a protein-carbohydrate composition (PCC) of the composition: soy minced okara – chickpea flour – whey protein concentrate (WPC 80) in a ratio of 9:5:10, at 1:3 hydration. The rational share of the introduction of PCC into the recipe of cutlets was 25% for minced beef – the meat of broiler chickens and 20% for minced beef – lamb. The studied samples of PCC, control minced meat with pork and bread, and two modified minced meat recipes for cutlets have similar values of the mass ratio of water fractions at three stages of dehydration during heat treatment. PCC particles are evenly distributed between the muscle fibers in minced meat. It has been shown that the developed PCC can serve as a substitute for minced meat not only in terms of the balance of the amino acid composition of the total protein but also in terms of the percentage of moisture with different forms of communication with the product, influencing the microstructure and consistency of raw semi-finished products of the combined composition, the consistency and juiciness of fried cutlets. According to the developed recipes, the mass fraction of protein in cutlets increased from 13.8 to 19.1-19.8%; fat decreased from 12.6 to 9.5-9.7%.
