Background: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIR) following a stroke results in secondary damage and is a leading cause of adult disability. The present study aimed to identify hub genes and networks in CIR to explore potential therapeutic agents for its treatment. Methods: Differentially expressed genes based on the GSE23163 dataset were identified, and weighted gene co-expression network analysis was performed to explore co-expression modules associated with CIR. Hub genes were identified by intersecting immune gene profiles, differentially expressed genes, and modular genes. Gene Ontology, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway, and transcription factor-microRNA-gene regulatory network analyses were then conducted in selected crucial modules. Subsequently, their expression levels in animal models were verified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blotting. Finally, potential drug molecules were screened for, and molecular docking simulations were performed to identify potential therapeutic targets. Results: Seven hub genes—namely, Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl7, Cxcl1, Hspa1a, Cd14, and Socs3—were identified. Furthermore, we established a protein interaction network using the STRING database and found that the core genes selected through the cytohubba plugin remained consistent. Animal experiments showed that at the transcriptional level, all seven genes showed significant differences (p < 0.001, fold change vs sham, 5–200). At the translational level, however, only Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl7, Hspa1a, and Socs3 showed significant differences, while Cxcl1 and Cd14 did not. Nifedipine, with the highest predicted score, was identified as a therapeutic agent and successfully docked with the protein encoded by the hub genes. Conclusions: The expression of Ccl3, Ccl4, Ccl7, Hspa1a, and Socs3 was significantly different in CIR tissues compared to normal tissues both at the transcriptional and translational levels. Systems biology approaches indicated that these could be possible CIR marker genes, providing a stepping stone for further experimental studies.

Published: August 2023

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is an effective alternative treatment for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) who have intermediate to high surgical risk or who are inoperable. However, the incidence of conduction abnormalities is high after TAVR, which can reduce the effectiveness of the surgery. Our research objective is to explore the risk factors of new-onset conduction abnormalities after TAVR, providing reference value for clinical doctors to better prevent and treat conduction abnormalities. Methods: Patients who underwent TAVR were divided into those who developed heart block and those who did not. Baseline clinical characteristics, cardiac structural parameters, procedural characteristics, electrocardiogram (ECG) changes before and after TAVR (△ = postoperative minus preoperative), and surgical complications were compared. Logistic regression was applied to identify significant risk factors for new-onset heart block. Results: We studied 93 patients, of whom 34.4% developed heart blocks. Univariate logistic regression showed that prior history of malignancy, atrial fibrillation, preoperative high-level total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), △HR, △QRS interval, △QT interval, and △QTc interval were risk factors of new-onset heart block after TAVR. Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative high-level LDL-C and △QRS interval remained significant independent risk factors after adjusting for potential confounds. Conclusions: Heart block is the most common complication of TAVR, and its significant independent risk factors include high-level LDL-C and △QRS interval.
Impact Of The Taxpayer Understanding And Awareness, Tax Sanctions, Fiscus Services, E-Filing System On Taxpayer Compliance In Jakarta During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Authors: Karsam Karsam , Budiandru Budiandru
Published: August 2023

Objective – The objective of this paper is to examine the ways understanding and aware of taxpayers are regarding understanding and awareness of taxes, penalties, tax authorities, and electronic filing systems for taxpayers regarding taxpayer compliance in the DKI Jakarta area..
Design/methodology – The method of this study is quantitative. As part of this quantitative study, it is not in the form of statistics, but through the process of collecting data by distributing questionnaires and using sampling methods that aim to eliminate the problem of extensive data collection to make population conclusions so that data collection will be practical, cost-effective and convenient. The sampling technique is measurement model analysis in the outer model and structural model analysis in the inner model employing SmartPLS 3 Multivariate Structural Equation Model (SEM).
Results – Partially the findings of this research suggest that the electronic filing system affects taxpayer compliance. Understanding and awareness of taxpayers has tax sanctions have had no effect on taxpayer compliance no effect on tax authorities' and taxpayers' compliance services have no effect on taxpayer compliance. The square root of R, or R2 simultaneously is 0.504 or 50.4%, This indicates that factors that influence compliance by taxpayers understanding and awareness of taxpayers, tax sanctions, tax authorities and e-filing systems of 50.4%. The contribution of this research shows that the electronic filing system a impact on compliance by taxpayers, in this instance taxpayers must learn more about taxes and the government must provide education and an adequate system for taxpayers.
Research limitations/implications – The weakness of this study is that the number of respondents who are taxpayers registered at the DKI Jakarta KPP is still limited and does not represent the sample as a whole.
The implication is that conclusions cannot be generalized and cannot be used as the main reference
The number of taxpayers during a pandemic situation was reluctant to report and pay taxes, this had an impact on the level of compliance
Novelty/Originality – The novelty of this study is that there are samples taken from the Covid pandemic, the variables of awareness and concern use different indicators.
SUBSTANTIAL COMPONENTS OF THE DECISION-MAKING PROCESS: CONCEPT, PSYCHOLOGICAL STRUCTURE, AND FACTORS
Authors:   Zaporizhzhia National University, Shevchenko Nataliia , Obyskalov Ivan ,   Zaporizhzhia National University
Published: August 2023

The article highlights the theoretical study results of the «decision-making» concept, the psychological structure and factors of the decision-making process. The main areas of research on the decision-making process are highlighted: the activity of a practical psychologist; pedagogical activity; marketing; situations of risk and uncertainty; managerial activity. In accordance with the tendency to move away from russian-language calques in Ukrainian scientific terminology, in this article emphasized the practicability of using the construct «ухвалення рішень», which corresponds to the context of the decision, as opposed to the previously used «прийняття рішень». As a result of the analysis the main components of the «decision-making» concept are identified: an integrative cognitive process, a selection process, a set of alternatives, a goal or a desired result, and criteria for evaluating alternatives in accordance with the formulated goal. The selection of the essential characteristics of the decision-making process in different approaches and theories allowed the interpretation of the «decision-making» concept as an integrative cognitive process of choosing the most optimal alternative from the available set, which is occurs in accordance with the formulated goal on the selected criteria basis. The analysis of the instance-based learning theory (IBLT), the layered reference model of the brain (LRMB) in combination with the cognitive model of memory «OAR», the psychological concept of decision-making «WRAP», etc. allowed to identify the decision-making process components (problem situation that leads to the need of finding an optimal solution; goal; reproduction of alternative solutions in memory or generation of new ones in case of the situation novelty; criteria for evaluating alternatives in accordance with the formulated goal; evaluation of alternatives; the choice of the most optimal alternative; implementation) and to characterize its psychological structure. The factors of the decision-making process are identified and characterized: socio-economic status; level of social support; peer environment; level of social risks; reflection; value of education; value of freedom; value of public recognition; personal resoluteness, which includes a number of components (tolerance, risk-taking, assertiveness, adventurousness, detaildness, reflexivity and foresight); motivation for success; urgent needs; heuristics and biases; feelings of regret; the value of different alternatives attributes in a decision situation; the willpower of the individual. Among these factors, a special role is played by reflection, reflexivity, free will and the value of different alternatives attributes in a decision situation. The theoretical analysis of the decision-making process factors has shown the absence of their classification and categorization, which determines the prospects for further research in this area.

Published: August 2023

The objective of this article is to explore the correlation between specific psychological profiles, which characterize the expressive and communicative abilities of primary school-aged children in narrative formats, and their social success during interactions. The clustering of schoolchildren's social success is achieved through the use of growing pyramidal networks, which structurally represent the operational environment of their activities during interactions. The input data for the clustering process consist of values obtained from psychological profiles, evaluated using appropriate scales in the testing of schoolchildren according to specific methods. The clustering procedure identifies forty psychological profiles that reflect the dynamics of their interaction in narrative formats and their corresponding levels of social success. Taxonomic clustering of the test results of junior schoolchildren reveals stable groups of interactions among them.

Tanulmányomban a brechti esztétika működését igyekszem feltárni Lars von Trier Dogville-jében és Manderlayében, s összehasonlítani a 60-as és a 70-es évek posztbrechti esztétikája által preferált filmekkel. Az összehasonlítás során amellett szeretnék érvelni, hogy von Trier egészen másként értelmezi Brechtet, mint tette azt a 60-as és a 70-es évek posztbrechti esztétikája, és egészen másként valósítja meg a filmjeiben a brechti esztétikát, mint Godard vagy a Straub–Huillet rendezőpáros: míg ez utóbbiak legfőbb törekvése a nézői azonosulás megtörése, illetve totális ellehetetlenítése volt, addig von Trier arra törekszik, hogy kérdésekkel, problémákkal és ellentmondásokkal szembesítse a nézőt, s elgondolkodtasson ezeken.

Public perceptions and consumer preferences for B Corps - greenwashing or trustworthy novel philanthropic actors?
Authors: Sooter Nina Marie , Tudor Maria , Bernardic Ursa , Ugazio Giuseppe
Published: August 2023

Hybrid enterprises such as B Corps are transforming the philanthropic landscape. Driven by both profit and purpose, these private-sector actors promote prosocial and pro-environmental practices and offer novel and convenient ways for the public to pair philanthropic activities with consumption. The present study investigates how consumers perceive these novel companies, specifically their awareness and trust of B Corps, as well as the probability of them preferentially choosing B Corps products and services. Findings show that, while familiarity remains low, once respondents received information about B Corps, general trust in the concept was above average, which was also reflected in their preferences for B Corps food and clothing. Interestingly, this preference did not extend to services, indicating a need for more research and perhaps better communication and marketing in this sector. We further explored factors which might influence this preference and found that familiarity and trust, as well as a belief that B Corps’ higher prices are necessary and increase quality, all increased the probability of choosing B Corps, as did certain more general considerations deemed important when choosing a brand, such as a view towards better environmental practices and ethical labor. Succinctly, B Corps have potential as powerful new players promoting public good, but their ability to succeed relies on more efficient communication and positive perceptions of their activity. Moreover, while these findings shed light on current perceptions and effects of the B label, a majority of choice variance remains unexplained, indicating the importance of future studies.
The effects of different Chinese high school English textbooks on vocabulary acquisition
Authors: Shen Yan
Published: August 2023

Textbooks are the main source of learning English for EFL students. Many studies have been carried out on different aspects of textbooks in various countries. In China, there is also some research on the content, vocabulary, and other aspects of textbooks. Since there are many editions of Chinese textbooks that are widely used by students, they are of interest to research. Also, vocabulary as a fundamental element in language learning can affect other language skills. This study investigated the design of vocabulary in three Chinese high school English textbooks from different publishers to evaluate the effect of these textbooks. This study found that the most frequently used 3000 words can cover most words in the textbooks, but the majority of the vocabulary was from the first 1000 words. Besides, vocabulary in textbooks showed poor repetition. Thirdly, textbooks contain many different vocabulary activities which are mainly encouraged by the cognitive strategy. The study concluded that the vocabulary level used in the textbooks is appropriate for the target students but that the vocabulary design is not conducive to students' vocabulary acquisition. Therefore, the study made some suggestions for improving and using the textbooks to address the shortcomings in the textbooks.
How visuomotor predictability and task demands affect tactile sensitivity on a moving limb during object interaction
Authors: McManus Meaghan , Schütz Immo , Voudouris Dimitris , Fiehler Katja
Published: August 2023

Tactile sensitivity is decreased on a moving compared to the same static limb. This tactile suppression likely reflects an interplay between sensorimotor predictions and sensory feedback. Here we examined how visuomotor predictability influences tactile suppression. Participants were instructed to hit an approaching virtual object, with the object either never rotating, or always rotating, or rotating unpredictably, prompting related movement adjustments. We probed tactile suppression by delivering a vibrotactile stimulus of varying intensities to the moving hand briefly after the object’s rotation and asked participants to indicate if they had felt a vibration. We hypothesized that unpredictable rotations would require upweighting of somatosensory feedback from the hand and therefore decrease suppression. Instead, we found stronger suppression with unpredictable than predictable rotations. This finding persisted even when visual input from the moving hand was removed and participants had to solely rely on somatosensory feedback of their hand. Importantly, we found a correlation between task demand and tactile suppression in both experiments, indicating that task load can amplify tactile suppression, possibly by downweighting task-irrelevant somatosensory feedback signals to allow for successful task performance when visuomotor task demands are high.
Direction of visual shift and hand congruency enhance spatial realignment during visuomotor adaptation.
Authors: Striemer Christopher Lee , Morrill Adam
Published: August 2023

Although prism adaptation has been studied extensively for over 100 years to better understand how the motor system adapts to sensory perturbations, very few studies have systematically studied how the combination of the hand used to adapt, and the direction of visual shift, might influence adaptation. Given that sensory inputs and motor outputs from the same side are processed (at least initially) in the same hemisphere, we wondered whether there might be differences in how people adapt when the hand used and the direction of visual shift were congruent (e.g., adapting to rightward shifting prisms with the right hand), compared to incongruent (e.g., adapting to rightward shifting prisms with the left hand). In Experiment 1 we re-analyzed a previously published dataset (Striemer, Enns, & Whitwell, 2019) in which healthy adults (n=17) adapted to 17° leftward or rightward optically displacing prisms using their left or right hand (tested in separate sessions, counterbalanced). Our results revealed a “congruency effect” such that adaptation aftereffects were significantly larger for reaches performed without visual feedback (i.e., straight-ahead pointing) when the direction of prism shift and the hand used were congruent, compared to incongruent. We replicated this same congruency effect in Experiment 2 in a new group of participants (n=25). We suggest that a better understanding of the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying the congruency effect will allow researchers to build more precise models of visuomotor learning, and may lead to the development of more effective applications of prism adaptation for the treatment of attentional disorders following brain damage.
Quantum Approaches to Neural Entrainment Through Audio-Visual- Tactile Stimulation of Hippocampal Theta Rhythms: Expanding the Frontiers of Cognitive Enhancement, Optimizing Glutamatergic Signaling, and Understanding Synaptic Plasticity Underlying Learning and Memory
Authors: Termanini Robert William
Published: August 2023

This paper explores the potential of audio-visual-tactile (AVT) stimulatory environments to precisely modulate glutamatergic neuronal networks involved in higher cognitive functions including learning, memory, attention, and perceptual processes. A comprehensive literature review elucidates the intricate neurobiological mechanisms of multisensory AVT stimulation paradigms and their demonstrated ability to entrain neural oscillations in specific frequency bands like theta, alpha, and gamma. By systematically aligning AVT stimulus parameters to hippocampal theta phase patterns during memory encoding and retrieval, precision enhancement and augmentation of memory performance may be achieved. The neurophysiological foundations of auditory, visual, and tactile entrainment are examined in depth through the lens of cross-frequency coupling models, which describe how the phase of slower neural oscillations modulates the power of faster rhythms. Translational applications, groundbreaking methodologies, multidisciplinary innovations, and ethical considerations involved in responsibly advancing AVT research into therapies are discussed. The paper aims to further disentangle the complex neurocognitive effects of tailored AVT stimulation protocols for diverse applications such as cognitive augmentation in learning, aging, neurodegeneration, and neural rehabilitation.

There are two methods of cathodic protection, namely Sacrificial Anode Cathodic Protection (SACP) and Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICPP). This study will analyze the use of Cathodic Protection with the Sacrificial Anode method as corrosion control on a 16 inch oil pipe at PT. Chevron Pacific Indonesia. Carbon steel pipe (API 5L Grade B) with cast magnesium anode material. Calculation of anode requirement for corrosion prevention will be compared with actual field data within 10 years. The calculation results show that the number of calculation parameters used affects the results of the anode requirement on an oil pipe with a length of 16 meters, a diameter of 16 inches, anode with a length of 0.648 m, net weight of anode 7.7 Kg, magnesium anode material with an anode output of 10.8 A/m2, anode density 1765 Kg/m3, wear and tear (volume) 2296 x 10-3 m3 A/y, and a life time of 10 years. Theoretical calculations get 6 anode rods while the actual data requires 8 anode rods.

The most common materials used to create electrical and optoelectronic devices for a variety of applications including transistor, sensor and detector are semiconductor nanostructures. Combining the nanostructures can result semiconductor homostructure and heterostructure. The homojunction of ZnO/FTO and heterojunction of CuO/ZnO/FTO coated glass substrate are formed using spray pyrolysis technique. The optical band gap for the FTO, ZnO, ZnO/FTO and CuO/ZnO/FTO films calculated using data from UV-visible spectroscopy are 3.629 eV, 3.236 eV, 3.113 eV and 1.456 eV respectively. The observed ohmic behavior of ZnO/FTO homojunction is due to the close band gap of FTO (i.e. Eg = 3.629 eV) and ZnO (Eg = 3.236 eV) whereas the non-ohmic behavior of CuO/ZnO/FTO heterojunction is due to the significant different in band gap energy of CuO (i.e. Eg = 1.456 eV) and ZnO (Eg = 3.236 eV). The photocurrent for ZnO/FTO homojunction increases from 232 μA to 350 μA for visible light illumination and from 232 μA to 400 μA for UV light illumination at bias voltage of 2.5 V. There is no significantly changed in the threshold voltage in visible region. For the CuO/ZnO/FTO heterojunction, the photocurrent increases from 280 μA to 390 μA for visible illumination and from 280 μA to 480 μA for UV illumination at 2.5 V. The enhancement of channel current in both sample (i.e. homojunction and heterojunction) under visible illumination is due to detrapping the charge carriers from mid gap states and released to the conduction band. The large enhancement of photocurrent under UV illumination is due to band gap absorption. Threshold voltage for CuO/ZnO/FTO non-ohmic device is shifted negatively from 1 V to 0 V with increasing the frequency of incident radiation. It suggests that the heterojunction formed by CuO/ZnO/FTO structure is applicable for broad band photo detector.

Children’s Digital Books: Development, Testing and Dissemination of Quality Criteria
Authors: Vackova Petra , Cermakova Anna Lindroos , Kucirkova Natalia Ingebretsen
Published: August 2023

Quality digital children’s books are expected to offer a reading experience that goes beyond the traditional paper book by including interactive and multimodal features, open-ended spaces for dialogue, children’s creativity, and agency. The technology is available; however, it is not yet harnessed to reach its full potential. An extensive literature review was performed to identify key quality indicators of effective digital reading platforms for young children. Nine quality criteria have been selected, and applied to ten digital reading platforms (Appendix 2) from a children's user experience standpoint. The quality criteria focus on the design and content of the platforms/books and whether the digital libraries are: purposeful, sustained, intercultural, interactive, child-friendly, accessible, personalisable, creative and social. Most of the evaluated digital libraries have a clear purpose and they support sustained interaction with their content to some degree, but there is considerable space for further development. All of the evaluated digital reading platforms are to some extent interactive, though none of the evaluated platforms were rich in congruent multimedia. Some of the evaluated digital books are clearly more successful than others in terms of the child-friendly nature of their design but none of the reviewed platforms had an extensive selection of accessibility tools and design features. Some level of customisation seems to be a standard feature; however, features that allow for personalisation are missing. Creative and social interactions in the reviewed e-libraries are very limited: most digital libraries are designed primarily to support children in independent reading. While most of the platforms include information on safeguarding policies, they are not always sufficiently detailed or written in clear and understandable language. None of the platforms addressed their child readers directly in this respect. None of the platforms had any disturbing content or advertisements. Most of the libraries we reviewed offer a positive, intercultural, learning environment, and some of the libraries focus on, for example, providing books in less spoken languages.
Elucidating College Students’ Stressors: Photovoice as a Pedagogical Tool and Qualitative Methodology
Authors:   Middle Tennessee State University, Priddis DeAnne , Hundley Heather ,   University of Nebraska - Omaha
Published: August 2023

Traditional research examining student stress relies on surveys using pre-determined categories. This study diverts from that approach by adopting a Communication in Conflict class assignment over seven classes (N = 115) using photovoice to determine if results fluctuate by using a different methodology. Additionally, we sought to understand if the sources of stress vary by gender and semester. The data revealed seven categories as the main stressors of student conflict: 1) time management, 2) mental health, 3) finding oneself, 4) future uncertainty, 5) other, 6) financial, and 7) past mistakes. Regardless of participants’ sex/gender or semester in which the data were collected, time management and mental health remained constant. Furthermore, finding oneself and future uncertainty were stressors identified more often in the fall rather than the spring semester. These results varied from traditional survey research.
Challenging the Positionality of Western Mainstream English Through the Implementation of Communication Action Statements

Communication is the most powerful tool we have to challenge the plague of invisibility impacting our Indigenous communities. As we continue to challenge the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives touted by our institutions, we need to move beyond mission statements to motion, i.e., action required for meaningful transformation to take place (Qassataq, Iñupiaq, 2022). To call attention to and name the silencing of language and knowledge systems outside of western mainstream english (WME), the present paper proposes the concept of Communication Action Statements (CAS). Based on place and space, CASs recognize, label, and affirm the negative effects of WME, as well as call attention to the silencing associated with the reinforcement of WME as the ideal form of communication. Moreover, CASs normalize other knowledge systems outside of the rigid western model that defines higher education. In conjunction with CASs, to initiate motion, we provide four strategies to take action to move beyond acknowledgment and challenge the Communication discipline to continue working to decenter whiteness.
Responding to Neoliberal Individualism: Developing an Ethic of Empathy Through Critical Communication Pedagogy
Authors:   Penn State Behrend, Kahl David
Published: August 2023

The university’s mission involves educating students to become civic leaders, balancing both individual and collective goals. However, neoliberal influences have shifted the balance to focus on the individual over the collective. Communication curriculum has also shifted over time, with a sizeable percentage of its classes designed to prepare students for individual economic success, with the byproduct being a deemphasis on collective thinking. The communication discipline can resist this neoliberal encroachment by redefining three of its goals and applying commitments of critical communication pedagogy to aid in the process. Doing has the potential to work toward the development of an ethic of empathy, an ethic that can assist students in pursuing their goals while concomitantly (re)learning compassion for marginalized groups.

Stress and shear of steel reinforced floors with prefabricated units and steel beams
Authors: Konin D. V.
Published: August 2023

Steel-reinforced concrete floors with prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs are industrial quickly erectable structures. The use of such structures makes it possible to reduce construction time, save metal, obtain efficient structures without beam projecting up to 20 m for loads produced by buildings and car parks. Codes and foreign norms do not include prefabricated reinforced concrete floor slabs in the operation of combined structures, as designers try to avoid complex connections (welding, bolts) during construction. Of obvious interest is the inclusion of precast slabs in the operation of combined steel and reinforced concrete beam as well as grouted joints between steel and slabs in the absence of additional anchors and connections.

Experimental results of structural models and 6×10 m floors with precast slabs are considered to identify the concrete shear. The effective shear deformation up to 0.5 mm is detected even without additional anchors. Simplest anchors significantly increase the joint operation of cast concrete and steel profile. The operation mechanism is determined for steel-concrete and steelconcrete-anchor contact zones, and respective diagrams are plotted for numerical calculations.

Floor testing shows that the use of the simplest joining, cast reinforced concrete combining steel and precast elements involves precast slabs at a distance from the beam axis of at least two thicknesses of the floor for two different ways of the beam support.

Numerical modelling, including the contact zone operation, shows good agreement with the experimental data. It is recommended to clarify the width of compressed concrete flange in normative documents for the structural analysis.

Bovine bone is a natural resource having valuable calcium phosphate compounds as a potential bioceramics powder feedstock. This study manipulated the calcium phosphates via hydrothermal processes after calcium phosphatecontaining bone was calcined and extracted. Here the resulting powder precursors obtained after calcining at 900 °C for 5 hours were hydrothermally processed for varying times at 110°C (1–5 h), yielding mainly biphasic calcium phosphates (-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite) formation with a minute lime according to XRD analysis. Calcination and hydrothermal processing can effectively produce a high amount of hydroxyapatite proportion (> 99 wt.%) with nano crystallite sizes (30-50 nm). After 5-hour calcination, the SEM images revealed the powder product with size uniformity (1 µm) and plate-like morphology. The powdered bovine bone was then subjected to DTA, DTG, and TG analyses to determine its thermal behavior. Calcination temperatures from 300 to 600 OC removed organic compounds and other impurities from powder matrices. Instead, the calcination of bovine bone at temperatures from 800 to 1000 OC supported the result of the stabilized microstructure of calcium-phosphate-bearing minerals, which would make valuable powder feedstock for hydrothermal synthesis. Results of the study demonstrated that simple calcination and subsequent hydrothermal processing of bovine bone providing major hydroxyapatite and minor - tricalcium phosphate would get a depth insight into calcium phosphate resource recovery and recycling.
