The Global Structure of UTLS Ozone in GEOS-5: A Multi-Year Assimilation of EOS Aura Data

Eight years of ozone measurements retrieved from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and the Microwave Limb Sounder, both on the EOS Aura satellite, have been assimilated into the Goddard Earth Observing System version 5 (GEOS-5) data assimilation system. This study thoroughly evaluates this assimilated product, highlighting its potential for science. The impact of observations on the GEOS-5 system is explored by examining the spatial distribution of the observation-minus-forecast statistics. Independent data are used for product validation. The correlation coefficient of the lower-stratospheric ozone column with ozonesondes is 0.99 and the bias is 0.5%, indicating the success of the assimilation in reproducing the ozone variability in that layer. The upper-tropospheric assimilated ozone column is about 10% lower than the ozonesonde column but the correlation is still high (0.87). The assimilation is shown to realistically capture the sharp cross-tropopause gradient in ozone mixing ratio. Occurrence of transport-driven low ozone laminae in the assimilation system is similar to that obtained from the High Resolution Dynamics Limb Sounder (HIRDLS) above the 400 K potential temperature surface but the assimilation produces fewer laminae than seen by HIRDLS below that surface. Although the assimilation produces 5 – 8 fewer occurrences per day (up to ~20%) during the three years of HIRDLS data, the interannual variability is captured correctly. This data-driven assimilated product is complementary to ozone fields generated from chemistry and transport models. Applications include study of the radiative forcing by ozone and tracer transport near the tropopause.

Comparison between Wet and Dry Anaerobic Digestions of Cow Dung under Mesophilic and Thermophilic Conditions

The objective of this research is to compare dry anaerobic digestion of cow dung for methane production with wet anaerobic digestion under mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures in batch cultures for 63 days. The results showed that a specific methane yield of 0.333 and 0.345 LCH4/gVSr was obtained at 35oC in the fermentation systems for a dilute ratio of 1:1 and 1:0, with a VS removal of 50.01%, and 56.33%, a COD removal of 54.99%, and 61.35%, respectively. When the fermentation systems was performed under 55oC, the specific methane yield was increased to 0.351 and 0.374 LCH4/gVSr, with a VS removal of 53.43% and 60.52%, and a COD removal of 58.37% and 65.36%, respectively. Though addition of water could promote start-up process and biodegradability of the substrate to some extent, the methane yields in the dry anaerobic digestion process were found comparable to the conventional wet anaerobic digestion process. Furthermore, the volume of the reactor was increased twice in the wet fermentation process (7.68% TS) of cow dung compared to the dry fermentation (15.18% TS) at the same loading rate. It was suggested that dry methane fermentation process was superior in energy recovery, saving resources and engineering investment compared with wet fermentation
Short-term power load forecasting based on Least Squares Support Vector Machine optimized by Bare Bones Fireworks algorithm

Short-term load forecasting is a fundamental work in power system, which is significant for the control and dispatch of power system. This paper proposes a least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) algorithm optimized by bare bones fireworks algorithm (BBFWA) to enhance the accuracy of short-term power load forecasting. The forecasting model is based on least squares support vector machine. Then, the parameters of LSSVM are optimized by BBFWA. Compared to the other algorithms, the proposed method can forecast the short-term power load effectively and cost less time to optimize the parameters of LSSVM.
Calculations of two- and three-body dispersion coefficients for ions in crystals

Coupled Hartree-Fock theory is used to calculate two and three body dispersion coefficients for in-crystal ions (Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Mg2+, Ca2+, F-, Cl-, O2-) subject to both electrostatic and overlap interactions. For anions the reduction of the dispersion coefficients in the crystalline environment parallels the decrease of the static polarizability. From comparison of ab initio results with those of the Slater-Kirkwood formula we propose an empirical scheme for calculating in-crystal dispersion coefficients from accurate static polarizabilities. We find that two-body dispersion forces are not responsible for the greater stability of the 8 : 8 compared to the 6 : 6 polymorph of CsCl. A correlated Moller-Plesset calculation of the static polarizability of Rb+ confirms our previous scheme for deriving polarizabilities from experiment.
Poly –N = N– linked 1,5-dihydro-1,5-diazocine, the two-dimensional polymer with Dirac insulator properties: ab initio study

A new material – the monolayered, π-conjugated, poly dinitrogen-linked 1,5-dihydro-1,5-diazocine – is proposed. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the material is a two-dimensional Dirac insulator with a direct band gap. The generalised gradient approximation (GGA) and the local density approximation (LDA) give band gaps of E gap GGA = 0.045 eV and E gap LDA = 0.035 eV. Anisotropy of the Dirac cones results in variation of Fermi velocities of the charge carriers: [0.85–5.30] × 106 m/s (GGA) and [0.86–5.38] × 106 m/s (LDA). Corresponding effective masses are ∼103 lower than that of a free electron. G0W0 calculations confirm the topology of density functional theory band structure and show band gap of E gap = 0.121 eV. Cohesive energies are estimated at E c GGA = 5.30 eV/atom and E c LDA = 6.15 eV/atom. Thus, the results provide the first evidence for the existence of Dirac insulators among organic polymers.

GROUP COHESION: THE EFFECT OF DIVERSITY

This paper entails the empirical research investigation of a proposed correlation between group diversity and workgroup cohesion contingent on group size. The primary hypothesis examines the statistical relationship between group cohesion, as measured by entitativity, and group diversity, as measured by Blau’s Index (1977). The study details a proposed positive relationship between measures of cohesion and diversity in relation to group size. The data collection procedure focuses on the collection of respondent data from four business units ranging in group size from 7 to 12 members. The descriptive statistics demonstrate the more homogenous the workgroup, the greater unit cohesiveness along with revealing an inverse relationship between group cohesion and diversity. This paper includes an examination of the data using a bivariate correlation and analysis of variances which produced findings failing to support the hypothetical correlation.

Pan-Cancer Analysis Reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 Receptor ACE2 is a Protective Factor for Cancer Progression

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has infected more than 13 million people and has caused more than 570,000 deaths worldwide as of July 13, 2020. The SARS-CoV-2 human cell receptor ACE2 has recently received extensive attention for its role in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Many studies have also explored the association between ACE2 and cancer. However, a systemic investigation into associations between ACE2 and oncogenic pathways, tumor progression, and clinical outcomes in pan-cancer remains lacking. Methods: Using cancer genomics datasets from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) program, we performed computational analyses of associations between ACE2 expression and antitumor immunity, immunotherapy response, oncogenic pathways, tumor progression phenotypes, and clinical outcomes in 12 cancer cohorts. We also identified co-expression networks of ACE2 in cancer.Results: ACE2 upregulation was associated with increased antitumor immune signatures and PD-L1 expression, and favorable anti-PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 immunotherapy response. ACE2 expression levels inversely correlated with the activity of cell cycle, mismatch repair, TGF-β, Wnt, VEGF, and Notch signaling pathways. Moreover, ACE2 expression levels had significant inverse correlations with tumor proliferation, stemness, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). ACE2 upregulation was associated with favorable survival in pan-cancer and in multiple individual cancer types. Conclusions: ACE2 upregulation was associated with increased antitumor immunity and immunotherapy response, reduced tumor malignancy, and favorable survival in cancer, suggesting that ACE2 is a protective factor for cancer progression. Our data may provide potential clinical implications for treating cancer patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.
Reorientational and translational dynamics of benzene in zeolite NaY as studied by one- and two-dimensional exchange spectroscopy and static-field-gradient nuclear magnetic resonance

One- and two-dimensional 2H- and 13C-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) echo spectroscopy and 1H static field gradient NMR self-diffusion experiments have been used to study the reorientational and translational dynamics of benzene molecules adsorbed on zeolite NaY as a function of loading. Comparison of the data with model calculations establish that the elementary motional process of the guest molecules is consistently identified as a jump process among well defined adsorption sites inside a supercage and/or a jump between nearby supercages. In cases where the zeolite cavities contain high loadings of guest molecules, each molecular jump is accompanied by concomitant relaxation of the local environment. Molecular jump events between adsorption sites correspond to the elementary processes from which long range translational diffusion evolves.
Myxomycetes of boreal forests of the Laplandskiy State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Kola Peninsula, Russia) Yuri

Northern taiga forests and subalpine plant communities of the Laplandskiy State Nature Biosphere Reserve (Kola Peninsula, Russia) were surveyed for myxomycetes. A total of 1675 specimens of myxomycete fruit bodies (sporocarps) were registered, among them 1584 records from field collections and 92 obtained from 210 moist chamber cultures of ground litter, bark of living trees, wood, and weathered dung of moose and willow ptarmigan. Most of 125 taxa (124 morphospecies and one variety) representing 34 genera were recorded only in the field (104 taxa from 32 genera), but some were exclusively obtained from moist chamber cultures (8 taxa from 5 genera). All of the recorded species are new for the Laplandskiy Reserve. Species numbers decreased among the four studied forest associations along the elevation and mositure gradient, and the Shannon index showed a similar trend: spruce forest (PICa; 84 taxa, H’=3.8), spruce-peat moss forest (PICb; 70, 3.5), dry spruce-pine forest (PIN; 62, 3.7), subalpine birch forest (SB; 30, 2.7). The estimated completeness of the survey according to the Chao1 estimator was 66%, indicating that most of the more common species should have been recovered. The trend among forest associations runs mainly parallel to diversity: PICa and PICb 83%, PIN 47%, SB 57%. The myxomycete assemblage of dry coniferous forests is the most distinctive among the three forest types and shows the highest number of indicator species. The overall degree of specialization of myxomycetes is higher for substrate type than for forest associations. Among substrate types, species diversity and richness increase from litter over bark to wood.
Analyzing the Influence of Free-Riding Behaviour and Approaches to Overcoming it in Peer-to-peer System

Peer-to-peer systems are alternative systems to traditional client-server systems, which is becoming popular nowadays. However, as the system is dependent on each individual user contribution, the P2P system is facing problems due to users that consume more than they contribute to the system; so called free-riders. This paper offers solutions with the free-riding behavior of users introducing various mechanisms which would force users to actively participate in contribution to the system
A standardless method of quantitative ceramic analysis using X-ray powder diffraction

A new procedure using X-ray powder diffraction data for quantitative estimation of the crystalline as well as the amorphous phase in ceramics is described. Classification of the crystalline and amorphous X-ray scattering was achieved by comparison of the slopes at two successive points of the powder pattern at scattering angles at which the crystalline and amorphous phases superimpose. If the second slope exceeds the first by a stipulated value, the intensity is taken as crystalline; otherwise the scattering is considered as amorphous. Crystalline phase analysis is obtained by linear programming techniques using the concept that each observed X-ray diffraction peak has contributions from n component phases, the proportionate analysis of which is required. The method does not require the measurement of calibration data for use as an internal standard, but knowledge of the approximate crystal structure of each phase of interest in the mixture is necessary. The technique is also helpful in qualitative analysis because each suspected phase is characterized by the probability that it will be present when a reflection zone is considered in which the suspected crystalline phase could contribute. The amorphous phases are determined prior to the crystalline ones. The method is applied to ceramic materials and some results are presented.
Modeling radiation-induced carbon contamination of extreme ultraviolet optics

A comprehensive model of radiation-induced carbon contamination of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) optics is presented. The mathematical model describes the key processes that contribute to the deposition of a carbon film on a multilayer optic when the optic is exposed to EUV radiation in the presence of residual hydrocarbons. These processes include the transport of residual hydrocarbons to the irradiated area, molecular diffusion across the optic surface, and the subsequent dissociation or “cracking” of the hydrocarbon by both direct EUV ionization and secondary electron excitation. Model predictions of carbon growth are compared to measurements taken on optics exposed to EUV in the presence of residual hydrocarbons. Model estimates of hydrocarbon film growth under various conditions of hydrocarbon partial pressures and EUV power demonstrate the sensitivity of film growth to varying operating conditions. Both the model and experimental data indicate that the predominant cause of hydrocarbon dissociation is bo.
Determination of Vitamin E Status and Supplementation for Nyala (Tragelaphus angasi)

High incidence of white muscle disease in captive nyala has lead to speculation that they have high vitamin E requirements. Maintenance of nyala is often achieved through high vitamin E supplementation. Injectable vitamin E has been administered monthly (750 IU/injection) at Denver Zoological Gardens for years as an effective method of preventing vitamin E deficiency related deaths, yet, was evaluated to be effective in raising plasma vitamin E levels for only ten days postinjection. Four adult female, two juvenile females and one juvenile male nyala were trained to be bled in a handling crate designed to reduce stress. Animals were trained, using food rewards as positive reinforcement, to be bled biweekly. Baseline plasma vitamin E values were determined to be similar between individuals. Animals were supplemented with oral forms including: liquid water miscible vitamin E plus rice-hull powder (RHE) (1000 IU/d/group) in Protocol 1, liquid alone (500 IU/d/group) in Protocol 2, and caramelized vitamin E powder (CBE) (50 IU/d/animal) in Protocol 3. Preliminary results of liquid oral supplementation, show an increase in blood plasma vitamin E four fold higher than baseline. Protocol1 had lower response than either protocol 2 or 3. Protocols 2 and 3 stimulated peak blood responses greater than injections and longer in duration due to daily administration. Orals are easier to administer than injections which require labor, personnel and stress to the animals. Oral supplementation was intended to reduce labor involved in vitamin E administration and was determined to be most effectively accomplished utilizing WM sprayed on the food items.
Ag dendritic nanostructures for rapid detection of thiram based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been proven to be a powerful analytical tool for the detection of trace molecules owing to its integration of high sensitivity, unique spectroscopic fingerprint, and non-destructive data acquisition. However, the lack of reliable, stable, well-defined and uniform SERS substrates impedes their further practical applications in various fields. Herein, we have developed a SERS-active substrate based on Ag dendrites for sensitive Raman signal readout and trace detection of pesticide residues in agricultural products and environments. The SERS substrate can be employed to detect rhodamine 6G (R6G) with an enhancement factor (EF) of 3.18 × 108 and the pesticide thiram in commercial grape juice with a detection limit of as low as 0.1 μM (0.03 ppm), which is much lower than the maximal residue limit (MRL) of 7 ppm in fruit prescribed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Furthermore, spiked detection indicated that the Ag dendritic substrate can be used to monitor thiram in commercial grape juice and natural lake water without further treatment.
HAW05684 A clarification of multidimensionality and perfectionist typology with the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale

The psychometric properties of the ‘Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale’ (Frost, Marten, Lahart, & Rosenblate, 1990) were investigated, to determine its usefulness as a measurement of perfectionism with Australian secondary school girls, and to find empirical support for the existence of both healthy and unhealthy types of perfectionist students. Participants were 409 female mixed-ability students from Years 7 and 10 in two private secondary schools in Sydney, Australia. Factor analyses yielded four rather than the six factors theorized by Frost et al. Cluster analysis indicated a distinct typology of healthy perfectionists, unhealthy perfectionists and non-perfectionists. Healthy perfectionists were characterized by higher levels on Organization, while unhealthy perfectionists scored higher on the Parental Expectations & Criticism and Concern over Mistakes and Doubts dimensions of perfectionism. Both types of perfectionists scored high on Personal Standards.
FINANCE, GROWTH AND INCOME DISTRIBUTION

The study primarily aims to discuss the direct and growth-based indirect theoretical effects of financial capitalism on income inequality. The study secondly aims to investigate these possible effects of finance upon income distribution for the period of 1996-2016 through linear and nonlinear panel data models for an aggregate sample of developed and developing countries. For this purpose, financial liberalization, and financial development as its outcome are used as indicators of finance. Gini coefficient is used for a measure of inequality in income distribution. Empirical findings provide strong evidence that an increase in financial development does not improve income distribution. On the other hand, there is no evidence that the indicator measuring the financial liberalization alleviate income inequality. Such that, coefficient of the rules-based de-jure indicator is positive but insignificant. Finance-inequality linkage is affected by economic growth as a significant mediator indicator, but not as an intermediary for inequality mitigating.
Driving Employee Affective Commitment through Internal Branding in Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria

Central to the organisational goals is the need to build an effective workforce. Given the increasing awareness that employees’ emotional bonding to their organisations seem an important determinant to dedication and loyalty, employee commitment has consistently been a major factor of enquiry due to its predictive power in organisational outcome. This study is focused on driving employee’s affective commitment through internal branding. The survey research design technique was employed. The study covered 16 money deposit banks in Asaba metropolis in Delta State, Nigeria. The stratified random sampling technique was employed to select 300 employees as sample objects. The research instrument was a 25-item structured questionnaire of the likert type scale. The analytical tools used are principal component factor analysis, correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings revealed that brand oriented training exhibited a relatively overwhelming effect on employee affective commitment, indicating the importance of acquisition of brand specific skills towards enhancing employees ability to deliver brand promise. It is concluded that internal branding has become an important determinant of employee’s affective commitment to organisational values within the banking industry due its potential to elicit internalising of organisational best practices and emotional bonding in alignment with organisational goals. It is recommended that employees affective commitment requires proper internal communication, effective brand oriented training and appropriate leadership styles, towards improved performance and competitiveness in the money deposit banks.
