The occurrence of associated and critical elements in the selected documented Zn-Pb, Cu-Ag, Fe-Ti-V, Mo-Cu-W, Sn, Au-As and Ni deposits in Poland

As part of the research subject of the Polish Geological Survey, funded by NFOŚiGW, a research project was carried out at PGI-NRI in 2015–2018. Its main task was quantitative and qualitative identification of elements accompanying the main ore and associated elements, including critical ones, and mineralogical identification of their main carriers in metallic ore deposits documented after World War II, representing the main metallogenic formations in Poland. The research focused mainly on drill cores from historical survey boreholes, rarely samples from open-pits and deep mines, representing: Mesozoic Zn-Pb ores, Lower Zechstein Cu-Ag ores, Mesoproterozoic Fe-Ti-V ores, Mo-Cu-W porphyry ores, stratiform Sn ores in the Sudetes, Variscan vein and metasomatic Au-As polymetallic ores, and Cenozoic Ni ores. The PIG-PIB Chemical Laboratory performed analytical work (ICP-MS, WD-XRF, GF-ASS), which allowed quantitative identification of approximately 60 chemical elements. In addition, complementary mineralogical and petrographic studies of the trace element carriers were carried out using a polarizing microscope and an electron microprobe (CAMECA SX-100). Before sampling, metal ore-bearing intervals were examined for the content of chemical elements using a portable spectrometer (Olympus XRF Delta). The results indicate the presence of numerous elements in studied deposits, including those currently regarded as critical for the European Union economy. The collected materials allowed both developing detailed geochemical and mineralogical characteristics of ores from individual deposits and identifying critical elements. They show a clear correlation with the main ore metals, and their resources can be a matter of interest in terms of raw materials.
An accurate and robust registration framework based on outlier removal and feature point adjustment for remote sensing images

ABSTRACT The reliability of feature matching can decide the accuracy and robustness of the feature-based registration result. Aiming at the problem that the number of final feature matches preserved by many popular outlier removal methods is small, and the position accuracy of final feature matches is not high enough, we propose an accurate and robust image registration framework based on outlier removal and feature point adjustment in this paper. This framework increases the number and improves the position accuracy of inliers while eliminating most outliers. The increased number of inliers improves the robustness of image registration, and high accurate inliers improves the accuracy of image registration. Firstly, the initial feature matches are extracted by a commonly used feature-based registration method, such as the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT)-based method. Then, outliers of the initial feature matches are eliminated by a frequency domain similarity measure, called PHase-based Structural SIMilarity (PH-SSIM) proposed in this paper. Considering the inherent error of the feature matches that still exist after the outlier elimination, a PH-SSIM-based feature point adjustment strategy is designed to fine-adjust the position of the preserved feature points in the reference image. Finally, the registration parameters are calculated by the fine-adjusted feature matches. The proposed framework has been evaluated by several remote sensing images with different resolution, grey-scale, texture, and scene, and compared with four state-of-the-art image registration methods. Experimental result demonstrates the high accuracy and robustness of the proposed method.
Examining the Role of Domain–General Skills in Mathematics Learning and Intervention Response in Kindergarten

Effective early mathematics instruction is critical to support long–term mathematics achievement. Given that student response to typical instruction varies, a range of mathematics interventions have been developed to support foundational mathematics development. However, not all students respond to these interventions. To better understand factors associated with intervention response, the current study explored how domain general cognitive skills were associated with intervention response for 621 kindergarten students with or at risk for mathematics difficulties. Results indicated that although domain general skills were associated with mathematics achievement, there was no evidence of differential response to intervention based on cognitive skills. When examining differences while holding initial mathematics skill constant, there was a non–significant, but potentially important pattern of students with higher domain general skills demonstrating greater mathematics gains as a result of intervention participation. Implications for mathematics intervention and curriculum development, including potentially impactful instructional approaches and cognitive scaffolds are discussed.
Tattoo-Associated Viral Infections: A Review

Abstract Tattoos, a decorative form of body art, are produced by inoculating pigment into the dermis. Tattoo-associated viral infections can be cutaneous and localized to the tattoo ink; however, viral pathogens acquired during inoculation can cause systemic disease. A comprehensive review of the literature only reveals a limited number of published reports regarding patients with tattoo-associated cutaneous viral lesions. Cutaneous viral pathogens causing lesions to occur on a tattoo include herpes simplex virus (HSV), human papillomavirus (HPV), molluscum contagiosum, rubella, and vaccinia. HPV lesions (45 patients) and molluscum contagiosum (14 patients) are the most frequently reported tattoo-associated viral lesions; nearly all the patients were immunocompetent. HPV lesions included verruca vulgaris (29 patients), verruca plana (14 patients) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated acquired epidermodysplasia verruciformis (two men). Hypotheses for tattoo-associated HPV lesions and molluscum contagiosum include a black ink-induced cutaneous immunocompromised district since the viral lesions all occurred in black or dark ink and the use of virus-contaminated instruments, pigment, or both during tattoo inoculation. Other sources of HPV include viral spread from a wart that is present but not associated with the tattoo site or virus transmission from the tattooist resulting from contact with a wart on an ungloved hand or HPV-containing saliva used to thin the pigment. Herpes compunctorum (three patients), vaccinia (two patients), and rubella (one patient) were less commonly reported. Blood borne viral pathogens associated with systemic manifestations – such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV – have also been acquired during tattoo inoculation; however, health care interventions have been adopted to attempt prevention of viral agent transmission during tattoo acquisition.
THE ROLE OF EXOPOLYSACCHARIDE PRODUCED BY Pleurotus Sapidus AS MEDICAL AGENT

sapidus Mushrooms have been used since centuries for the treatment of different diseases and efforts were made to isolate different compounds from the mushrooms responsible for medicinal activities. Among the mushroom genus Pleurotus is worldwide in distribution due to their medicinal properties such interventions ameliorate hepatic lipid profiles, reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, noticeable antioxidant, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor and analgesic properties. These properties are attributed mainly to polysaccharides synthesized by Pleurotus. The aim of current study is to improve of Exopolysaccharide production by Pleurotus sapidus through manipulation of different culture and environmental conditions using response surface methodology (RSM). Plackett–Burman design indicated that; shaking, starch and incubation temperature are the most effective parameters. Box–Behnken RSM indicated that; the optimum concentration for each parameter was: 148.9 rpm for shaking, 30.1g/l starch and 25.2 oC for incubation temperature. After production, EPS was extracted, purified, identified using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1HNMR) and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The result indicated that; it consisting of β-(1→3) glucans, β-(1→6) glucans branched, Chitin, Mannans and Galactans with different concentrations in EPS. Exopolysaccharides extracted from Pleurotus sapidus showed antitumor, antiviral, antibacterial, anticoagulant and antioxidant activity.
SEX DETERMINATION OF DATE PALM (PHOENIX DACTYLIFERA L.) THROUGH CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF LEAVES

This investigation was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2006 and 2007 using 8 years old date palm trees of Seewy" cultivar grown in clay soil located at Sinnaouris Fayoum Governorate, Egypt. The objective of this study was to predict sex of date palm through some leaf chemical constituents. Generally, it was found that there are great differences in chemical constituents of pinnae, i.e. chlorophyll a & b, total caroteniods, total anthocyanin, total carbohydrates, total and reducing sugars, total free amino acids, free proline, total indoles, nitrogen, crude protein, total phenols, dry matter, ash and silicon between male and female date palm (c.v. Seewy"). Female trees were characterized by the increase in the concentration of chlorophyll a & b, total caroteniods, total anthocyanin, total carbohydrates, total and reducing sugars, total free amino acids, total indoles, nitrogen, crude protein, total phenols, dry matter and silicon over male trees. On the contrary, male trees were characterized by the increase in the concentration of ash and proline over female trees. From the obtained results , it has been concluded that female date palm plants was characterized by high capacity to anabolism and the accumulation of these substances resulting from these processes and vice versa in pinnae of male date palm plants. These pinnae chemical analysis can be used as a mean for predicting sex in date palm plant " Seewy" cultivar.
ANAPHORIC PRONOUN RESOLUTION FOR IMPROVING FUSION BASED SUMMARIZATION OF SIMPLE VIETNAMESE TEXTS

: We present in this paper a text generating solution for the automatic creation of summaries of two-sentence Vietnamese paragraphs. The idea of the solution is to illustrate the main content in the first and second sentence, fuse them and generate one new sentence. The fusion task is performed by considering relationships between what happens in the first sentence and what happens in the second sentence. The result of our study shows that if inter-sentential anaphoric pronouns in the source text are well resolved, the illustration is appropriately created and the quality of summarization can be improved. We limit on handling issues of the anaphoric pronoun “nó” among several types of co-references in Vietnamese. The experiment results show that the summaries generated by our solution have better quality than by two baseline methods according to ROUGE measure.
Adaptive Fuzzy Game-Based Energy-Efficient Localization in 3D Underwater Sensor Networks

Numerous applications in 3D underwater sensor networks (UWSNs), such as pollution detection, disaster prevention, animal monitoring, navigation assistance, and submarines tracking, heavily rely on accurate localization techniques. However, due to the limited batteries of sensor nodes and the difficulty for energy harvesting in UWSNs, it is challenging to localize sensor nodes successfully within a short sensor node lifetime in an unspecified underwater environment. Therefore, we propose the Adaptive Energy-Efficient Localization Algorithm (Adaptive EELA) to enable energy-efficient node localization while adapting to the dynamic environment changes. Adaptive EELA takes a fuzzy game-theoretic approach, whereby the Stackelberg game is used to model the interactions among sensor and anchor nodes in UWSNs and employs the adaptive neuro-fuzzy method to set the appropriate utility functions. We prove that a socially optimal Stackelberg–Nash equilibrium is achieved in Adaptive EELA. Through extensive numerical simulations under various environmental scenarios, the evaluation results show that our proposed algorithm accomplishes a significant energy reduction, e.g., 66% lower compared to baselines, while achieving a desired performance level in terms of localization coverage, error, and delay.
PRELIMINARY IN VITRO STUDY ON ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF SOME LOCAL LACTOBACILLI AND LACTIC STREPTOCOCCI ISOLATES

The agar – well diffusion method was used to assay in vitro the antifungal activity (AA) of the metabolites of five lactobacilli (Lb) and five Lactic streptococci (LSt) isolates obtained from samples of Egyptian dairy products towards four indicator phytopathogenic fungi: Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotuim cepivorum, Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium sp.The AA was expressed as percent of fungal growth inhibition ( % FGI ) . The results revealed that the crude cell-free culture supernatants (crude CFCS) of both Lb and LSt isolates showed variations in their AA , and the ranges were 48 – 63 % FGI and 38 – 52 % FGI for Lb and LSt isolates , respectively . Also ,the four indicator fungi showed differences in their sensitivity to the CFCS of the tested bacteria . The Penicillium sp. was the most sensitive indicator fungi with 60% FGI and 54% FGI for Lb and LSt isolates, respectively. In general, the AA of Lb isolates was relatively higher (54% FGI is average) than that of LSt isolates (44% FGI in average). Neutralization (pH 6.5) of crude CFCS, elimination of H2O2 or both caused a decrease in AA in most cases indicating a role of organic acids and H2O2 in AA. Treatment of the neutralized, H2O2 – free CFCS with the proteolytic enzymes , Pronase completely inactivated the AA in most cases and slightly reduced it in some cases, indicating the presence of a proteinaceous antifungal substances in the crude CFCS of both Lb and LSt isolates . This study has proven the in vitro potential of some local Lb and LSt isolates to inhibit growth of some plant pathogenic fungi.
Highly precise and efficient solution strategy for linear heat conduction and structural dynamics

Time‐dependent parabolic and hyperbolic equations are widely encountered in practical engineering. Accurate and fast solution methods for such equations have always attracted attention. To reach this aim, this article proposes a strategy to construct highly precise and efficient time integration methods (TIMs) for linear heat conduction and structural dynamic systems. In the proposed strategy, an integrated amplification matrix of a TIM is created to precisely transfer the free responses of the previous step, and the Gauss–Legendre quadrature is employed to precisely compute the forced responses of the current step. To reduce computational cost and rounding error, a 2m algorithm and a method of storing incremental matrix are applied in the construction of the integrated matrix. Moreover, the L‐stable backward difference formula for heat conduction and the generalized trapezoidal rule for structural dynamics, which is A‐stable and has controllable dissipation, are utilized to conduct this strategy. Numerical experiments validate that compared with some existing TIMs, the TIMs generated by the proposed strategy enjoy advantages both in precision and efficiency.

“Howdy Modi!”: Mediatization, Hindutva, and long distance ethnonationalism

ABSTRACT This study examines the media coverage of the “Howdy Modi! ” rally in Houston, Texas to understand how heavily mediatized rallies advance an ethnonationalist “American Hindutva” agenda. Content analysis followed by framing analysis was conducted on news articles published in September 2019. Content analysis revealed six topics including: spectacle, hype, and optics; Trump-Modi support; anti-Modi protests; negative coverage; anti-Islam/anti-Pakistan; and idealizing Modi. Frames included “rock star Prime Minister” and “Modi as an embodiment of (Hindu) grace. ” Media coverage of Howdy Modi reinforced Hindu nationalism drawing upon cultural pride and anti-Muslim sentiment and represent a new and “spreadable” venue for its proliferation.
p‐GeSe/n‐ReS2 Heterojunction Rectifier Exhibiting A Fast Photoresponse with Ultra‐High Frequency‐Switching Applications

The most emerging 2D‐materials‐based heterostructures are considered promising candidates because of their multifunctional logic applications for electric and optoelectronic devices. Here, a high gate tunable rectification in van der Waals heterostructure composed of n‐type rhenium disulfide (n‐ReS2) and p‐type germanium selenide (p‐GeSe), using pure Ohmic contacts, is reported. The large rectification ratio (RR) deprived of any Schottky contribution is tuned up to 4 × 105 because of the sharp interface of p‐GeSe and n‐ReS2. The sheet‐thickness effect over the rectification is also observed in the p‐GeSe/n‐ReS2 heterostructure as well. The profound photovoltaic measurements under lights of different power intensities depict a high photo responsivity of 3.9 × 103 A W−1 with an external quantum efficiency of 87% and specific detectivity (D* = 1.5 × 1012). The fast growth (16.6 µs) and decay times (12.3 µs) are extracted by the exponential rise and decay fitting. Moreover, practical applications of the p‐GeSe/n‐ReS2 heterostructure devices are exhibited by observing inverter behavior and high‐frequency switching operations, which is also the breakthrough of this research. Fabrication of such smart devices based on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) van der Waals heterostructures may enhance the energy harvesting as well as the multifunctional logic switches.
Revisiting the Past to Understand the Current Debates on Service-Dominant Logic

Abstract We present a systematic review of the literature on services marketing. In doing so, we trace how the domain’s core characteristics have changed over the years, with technology playing a disruptive role. The IHIP (intangibility, heterogeneity, inseparability, and perishability) framework once distinguished services marketing as a sub-discipline of marketing. However, with the advent of the concept of service-dominant logic, ‘services’ within the marketing domain are no more seen as a special case but as the core of what consumers need. The article examines the key theoretical issues surrounding the shift in services marketing and concludes by providing future directions.
The Impacts of Propensity to Worry and Fear of COVID-19 on Mental Health of University Students

Epidemics and pandemics are difficult periods for the affected community, specifically in the proliferation of mental health issues. In such adverse times, factors of psychological vulnerability such as propensity to worry and low emotional stability might have a detrimental effect on the mental health of the individuals. To investigate the impact of such factors on mental health, this study examined the impacts of propensity to worry and fear of COVID-19 on anxiety depending on the individuals’ levels of emotional stability. As a means of such investigation, this study was conducted based on quantitative data, and the research sample was selected using a convenient sampling method. Participants included 304 university students (71.6% were women and 28.4% were men; MAge = 22.37 ± 3.04) and responded to the Penn State Worry Questionnaire, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, Symptom Checklist-90 Revised, and 10-Item Personality Inventory. The moderated mediation analysis using PROCESS macro (Model 14) was performed to examine the study hypotheses. Results revealed that propensity to worry was associated with anxiety symptoms. Fear of COVID-19 mediated this link and emotional stability moderated the relationship between propensity to worry and anxiety. The findings showed that trait worry, trait emotional stability, and fear of COVID-19 are determinants of anxiety symptoms, suggesting that such factors are important in understanding these issues.
After the adoption of Renewable Portfolio Standards: Go greener or back to grey?

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) is a state-level policy that mandates renewable energy supply or sales goals in the U.S. In some states like California, Hawaii, and Oregon, renewable energy production goals have become more stringent since adoption and 50% or more electricity is projected to come from renewable energy sources in these states. In contrast, Ohio, Kansas, and West Virginia retracted or even repealed their RPS policies. Less is known, however, about the determinants of post-RPS adoption decisions relative to the amount of empirical and theoretical knowledge accumulated on the drivers of RPS policy adoption. Accordingly, this study conducted a cross-case analysis in order to explore the drivers of RPS repeal in West Virginia and RPS expansion in Oregon through semi-structured interviews of state legislators, secondary data, and literature review. Findings indicate that state government ideology frames views about environmental and economic issues and the effectiveness of RPS, and ultimately guide the directions of policy revisions. More specifically, West Virginia’s RPS repeal effort was initiated by Republican state legislators who were determined to terminate RPS since the beginning of the new legislative session. On the other hand, RPS expansion in Oregon was the output of strategic negotiation between two parties and largely driven by a bottom-up effort from cities and counties, citizens, and environmental organizations.
