Continuous Adsorption of CO 2 With Zeolite 5A In a Micro-Scale Fixed-Bed Column

s CO 2 is the primary greenhouse gas which mainly stems from human activities. Increased CO 2 emission in the atmosphere promotes global warming, which adversely affects human health and the environment. Adsorption is proposed as one of the practical and economical methods for CO 2 removal. Zeolite 5A is an adsorbent that can be employed in CO 2 adsorption due to its high porosity and adsorption capacity. In this study, we investigate the CO 2 adsorption behavior by zeolite 5A adsorbent in a continuous, micro-scale fixed-bed column at different bed heights. Gas chromatography was utilized to determine CO 2 exit concentrations. The column pressure drop was calculated using Ergun's equation. The obtained data were analyzed in the form of breakthrough curves, then fitted to Thomas and Yoon-Nelson's mathematical model to obtain adsorption rate coefficient in the column. The experimental data of CO 2 adsorption by zeolite 5A shows the good correspondence with both Thomas’s and Yoon - Nelson’s mathematical models. At a flow rate of 30 mL/min and bed height variations of 10 and 12 cm, the CO 2 adsorption capacities (q 0 ) were 0.0071 and 0.0099 mol/g, respectively. While the Thomas’s adsorption rate coefficient, k TH , for the same conditions were 0.4164 min -1 and 0.4342 min -1 .
Identification of central genes for endometriosis through integration of single-cell RNA sequencing and bulk RNA sequencing analysis

This study aimed to identify the key genes involved in the development of endometriosis and construct an accurate predictive model to provide new directions for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis. Using bioinformatics analysis, we employed the single-cell cell communication method to identify the key cell subtypes. By combining chip data and integrating differential analysis, WGCNA analysis, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) model, key genes were identified for immune infiltration and functional enrichment analyses. Cell communication analysis identified tissue stem cells as the key subtype. Differential analysis revealed 1879 differentially expressed genes, whereas WGCNA identified 357 module genes. The LASSO model further selects 4 key genes: Adipocyte Enhancer Binding Protein 1(AEBP1), MBNL1, GREM1, and DES. All 4 key genes showed significant correlations with immune cell content. Moreover, these genes were significantly expressed in single cells. The predictive model demonstrated good diagnostic performance. Through scRNA-seq, WGCNA, and LASSO methodologies, DES, GREM1, MBNL1, and AEBP1 emerged as crucial core genes linked to tissue stem cell markers in endometriosis. These genes have promising applications as diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for endometriosis.
Speech Perception in Children with Reading Disabilities: Phonetic Processing is the Problem

Purpose: Reading disability (RD) is a key obstacle in the development of literacy, and studies show that 15-20% of grade-school students have some degree of RD. The current study examines one potential source of RD in young children (8-12 years old): inadequate open set, non-categorical phone processing abilities, which can result from middle ear pathologies. Method: We present data from two tasks: (1) A 3-interval forced choice procedure called the Syllable Confusion Oddball (SCO) task, which examines the listener’s ability to identify different syllables (CV/VC) from a string of three such syllables, spoken by three different talkers, selected from a database of 18 adult mixed-gender talkers. (2) A single CV/VC presentation task with a verbal response, denoted the Nonsense Syllable Confusion Matrix (NSCM) task, where the listener labels individual utterances of CV and VC sounds. Ten children having well-documented RDs, normal hearing, and normal language function completed the tasks, and their performance was compared to that of six reading control (RC) children with no RD. The consonants and vowels each had 4.2 bits of entropy (19 vowels and 19 consonants), providing a sufﬁcient range of responses to investigate perceptual confusions and differences in error rates. Results: For the SCO task, the proportion of errors was statistically signiﬁcantly higher for the RD listeners compared with the RC listeners; the RD listeners had, on average, three to ﬁve times as many errors as the RC listeners. These errors were also highly idiosyncratic, with differences between individual subjects in the errors they made as a function of phone type (consonant vs. vowel) and syllable position (initial vs. ﬁnal). For the NSCM task, there were large individual differences in the confusion pattern errors across subjects, indicating idiosyncratic responses. These errors were consistent (had low variance), indicating the subjects were highly proﬁcient in doing the task. Conclusions: Given the fundamental role of phone encoding and decoding in human communication, it naturally follows that phone encoding must play a role in learning and its disorders. (1) RD children have a signiﬁcant speech perception problem in identifying open set syllables, despite normal pure-tone hearing and language processing abilities. (2) Individual RD subjects were highly different in their confusions (idiosyncratic), yet were consistent in the task (low variance, high error) (3) For the NSCM task, the errors were somewhat reduced, indicating that the single-interval task was easier (lower error) than the SCO three-interval task. (3) These results are at odds with several previous studies which shows weak indication of phoneme identiﬁcation impairment in RD children. These differences are likely due to (1) the differences in methods of the present study (SCO and NSCM), (2) with large numbers of trials per child (e.g., 1,500) and (3) the large numbers of talkers (e.g., 18).
The Role of the Supine Empty Stress Test in the Evaluation of Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence: A Retrospective Cohort Study

The International Continence Society recommends the supine empty stress test (SEST) as an accessory test in the evaluation of women with urinary incontinence, especially for the presence of intrinsic sphincter deficiency (ISD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the SEST and clinical findings in women diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence with single voiding cycle ambulatory urodynamics (AUM). AUM tracings of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS = Lower urinary tract symptoms) (n = 513) were retrospectively reviewed, and 364 charts with urodynamic SUI were analyzed. Demographics, examination findings, scores of the Sandvik Incontinence Severity Index and validated questionnaires, and AUM findings were compared between SEST-positive and -negative groups. Additionally, the diagnostic accuracy of the SEST in the diagnosis of low abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP ≤ 60 cm H2O) in women with pure urodynamic SUI was calculated. The SEST was positive in 41.8% (n = 152) of the cohort. Women with a positive SEST had higher scores on the Sandvik severity index (9.2 ± 3.6 vs. 7.5 ± 3.8, p = 0.003) and lower ALPP (79.6 ± 29.3 vs. 98.4 ± 31.3, p < 0.001). The negative predictive value of the SEST for ISD was found to be 92.4%. Thus, the SEST seems to be an objective clinical test reflecting urinary incontinence severity while excluding the presence of ISD.

RESEARCH ARTICLE Risk Factors of Lymph Node Metastases with Endometrial Carcinoma

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate risk factors for lymph node metastases (LNM) in cases of endometrial cancer (EC). Materials and Methods: A retrospective single institution analysis of patients surgically staged for EC at Ankara Oncology Education and Research Hospital from 1996 to 2010 was performed. Roles of prognostic factors, such as age, histological type, grade, depth of myometrial invasion, cervical involvement, peritoneal cytology, and tumor size, in the prediction of LNM were evaluated. Fisher’s exact test and logistic regression analysis were used to assess the effects of various factors on LNM. Results: LNM was observed in 22 out of 247 patients (8.9%) and was significantly more common in the presence of tumors of higher grade, deep myometrial invasion (DMI), cervical involvement, size >2cm, and with positive peritoneal cytology. Logistic regression analysis revealed that DMI remained the only independent risk factor for LNM. NPV, PPV, sensitivity, and specificity for satisfying LNM risk were 98.0, 19.5, 86.3, and 65.3%, respectively for DMI. Conclusions: The incidence of LNM is influenced independently by DMI. If data support a conclusion of DMI, LND should be seriously considered.
Population Dynamics and Stock Asssessment of Atlantic Horse Mackerel ( Trachurus trachurus ) Stocks in the Western Egyptian Mediterranean Waters

The present study aimed to evaluate the fishery status of the Atlantic horse mackerel ( Trachurus trachurus ) stock in the western Egyptian Mediterranean waters. Random monthly samples of fish were collected during the period from April 2015 to March 2016, with a total of 1054 fish. Growth parameters were determined and the vectors of natural mortality (M) by age, total mortality (Z) and fishing mortality (F), length cohort analysis, and Beverton & Holt Yield per recruit analysis were performed by FiSAT and Virtual Population Analysis (VIT software) programs to estimate the limit and target reference points. The present results showed that the Von Bertalanffy growth parameters were L ∞ = 29.58 cm, K = 0.27 years -1 , and t 0 = - 1.49 year. The mean values of Z, F and M were 0.828, 0.575 and 0.253 year -1 , respectively. The exploitation rate (E) was 0.694 year. The current yield per recruit (Y/R), biomass per recruit (B/R), and spawning stock biomass (SSB) at the current fishing mortality (0.575 year -1 ) were 14.27, 31.35 and 12.15g, respectively. The percentage of the current B/R to the virgin biomass was 25.11%. The reference point F 0.1 = 0.27, and the limit reference point (F MAX ) was 0.48 year -1 . These two values are lower than the current value of fishing mortality (0.575 year - ). The ratio between F C and F 0.1 was 2.128; this value indicates that T. trachurus stock in the Egyptian Mediterranean waters is at a high over exploitation state.
Entrepreneurship, Frictions and Wealth

Entrepreneurship is a very important determinant of the distribution of wealth. In the data entrepreneurs are a small fraction of the population, but have a high saving rate and hold a large share of total wealth. Conversely, the distribution of wealth has a significant effect on entrepreneurship: initial assets have great influence on entrepreneurial decisions. We construct a model that generates these two facts from two features: an overlapping-generations structure and the limited ability to enforce repayment of the loans to entrepreneurs. These factors are sufficient to match wealth inequality very well, both for entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs. We find that less restrictive borrowing constraints generate less wealth concentration and more entrepreneurs. We also find that there would be fewer large firms and the distribution of wealth would be less concentrated if all of the bequests that we do observe were accidental, rather than a mix of accidental and voluntary bequests.

A 3D glacier dynamics-line plume model to estimate the frontal ablation of Hansbreen, Svalbard

Frontal ablation is responsible for a large fraction of the mass loss from tidewater glaciers. The main contributors to frontal ablation are iceberg calving and submarine melting, with calving being the largest. However, submarine melting, in addition to its direct contribution to mass loss, also promotes calving through the changes induced in the stress field at the glacier terminus, so both processes should be jointly analysed. Among the factors influencing submarine melting, the formation of a buoyant plume due to the emergence of fresh subglacial water at the glacier grounding line plays a key role. In this study 5 we used Elmer/Ice to develop a 3D glacier dynamics model including calving and subglacial hydrology, coupled with a line-plume model to calculate the calving front position at every time-step. We applied this model to the Hansbreen–Hansbukta glacier–fjord system in Southern Spitsbergen, Svalbard, where a large set of data are available for both glacier and fjord, from September 2008 to March 2011. We found that our 3D model reproduced the expected seasonal cycle of advance-retreat. Besides, the modelled front positions were in good agreement with the observed front positions at the central part of the calving 10 front, with longitudinal differences, on average, below 15 meters for the period from December 2009 to March 2011. But there were regions of the front presenting major differences, specially the eastern margin.
Nutritional Evaluation of Avocado Fruit for Produce Functional Foods

: The study aimed to evaluate the nutritional and phytochemical properties of Avocado fruit and explore the possibility of using Avocado puree as a fat replacer in muffins to create functional foods rich in phytochemical compounds. The results showed that Avocado fruit has a high crude fat content of 15.80%, primarily composed of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). The ash content was low at 1.20%, while the crude fiber content was relatively high at 6.80%. Avocado fruit is also notable for its mineral content, with high levels of potassium (495.0 mg/100g) and moderate levels of phosphorus (58.0 mg/100g), magnesium (30.0 mg/100g), and calcium (13.20 mg/100g). Additionally, Avocado fruit is a good source of various vitamins. The predominant phenolic compound in Avocado fruit flesh was chlorogenic acid (17.38%). Avocado fruit oil is known for its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid (C18:1), which makes up the majority of the fatty acids in avocado oil at 50.85%. Avocado oil also contains significant amounts of palmitic acid (C16:0) at 28.06% and linoleic acid (C18:2) at 12.87%. The study found that the addition of Avocado puree as a fat replacer in muffins did not have a significant effect on the sensory characteristics of the prepared muffins, even at 100% replacement levels. Based on these results, the study suggests that muffins containing Avocado puree as a fat replacer can be developed as functional foods.
European Journal of Psychology and Educational Research

: The issues of poor academic outcomes, dismissal, high attrition, and dropout rates among college students have long concerned for many educators and college communities. Several scholars have posited that these problems can be addressed through the development of emotional intelligence and increased student engagement. Considering these problems, the present study aimed to assess the efficacy of emotional intelligence and student engagement in improving academic performance. The sample of the study consisted of 119 undergraduate students selected using the convenience sampling technique. Self-report Emotional Intelligence Test and Student Engagement Scale were adopted to measure emotional intelligence and student engagement respectively. Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) served as a measurement of academic achievement in the present study. Results from regression analyses revealed that certain components of emotional intelligence and academic engagement demonstrated a significant prediction effect on academic performance. From demographics, students’ programs of study showed a significant relationship with academic achievement. The present findings may provide directions for the college communities in fostering student engagement and emotional intelligence, thereby improving academic achievement of their students. The study also discusses limitations and future research directions.
Student’s Perception of Chat GPT: A Technology Acceptance Model Study

: This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument to explore university students' perception of Chat GPT, while also investigating potential variations across gender, grade level, major, and prior experience with using Chat GPT. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study involved 239 students enrolled in the Science and Mathematics Education Program at a private university in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The results indicated an overall positive perception of Chat GPT among the participants. Notably, the only significant disparity in perception between male and female students was observed in the dimension of "Perceived ease of use. " Moreover, no significant differences were found across any survey dimensions when comparing students from different grade levels (first to fourth grade). However, statistically significant differences emerged in the dimension of "Perceived social influence" between Mathematics majors and Chemistry-Biology majors, as well as between Chemistry-Biology majors and Physics-Informatics majors. Additionally, except for the dimension of "Perceived social influence," statistically significant differences were observed among groups based on their prior experience using artificial intelligence (AI) or chatbots. These findings provide valuable insights into university students' perceptions of Chat GPT and highlight the influence of factors such as gender, major, and prior experience on their perceptions. The implications of these findings can inform the design and implementation of educational technologies involving AI-based chat systems in higher education settings.
Negative Clinical Outcomes Between Silver Diamine Fluoride, Sedation, and General Anesthesia Treatment for Children with Early Childhood Caries: A Cohort Study

Purpose: This study compared the wait-time for treatment completion and pre- and post-treatment outcomes of treating early childhood caries with silver diamine fluoride, sedation, and general anesthesia. Methods: This retrospective study examined children with early childhood caries treated with either silver diamine fluoride, sedation, or general anesthesia at federally qualified health centers. Demographics, wait-time for treatment completion, and pre- and post-treatment clinical outcomes were compared with analysis of variance for continuous variables and the Chi-square test for categorical variables. This study was reviewed and approved by Southcentral Foundation Research Review. Results: The outcomes between the silver diamine fluoride, sedation, and general anesthesia groups were respectively: 1) average wait-times to complete treatment at 49.6, 62.5, and 116.3 days, 2) mean number of pre-treatment visits at 1.08, 1.25, and 1.61, 3) mean number of post-treatment visits at 1.41, 1.29, and 1.45. Multiple negative outcomes were identified when the sedation and general anesthesia groups were compared with the silver diamine fluoride reference group for 1) pre-treatment visits with un-planned visits (for general anesthesia only), pain, intra-oral swelling, and prescriptions for pain and antibiotic medications (general anesthesia only) and 2) post-treatment visits with new carious lesions on permanent molars, new carious lesions on primary teeth (sedation only), intra-oral swelling (sedation only only), broken restorations, displaced restorations, and pulpal therapy (sedation only). Conclusions: Silver diamine fluoride provides timely and effective caries management with lower wait-time for treatment completion, clinical outcomes consistent with minimally invasive treatment, and mitigation for the risk of negative pre- and post-operative clinical outcomes compared to treatment under sedation or general anesthesia.
