Trouble In Paradise: Improving The Discoverability Of Circum-Caribbean Materials Through Enhanced Cataloguing Practices
Authors: Gooding Alexandra
Published: June 2023

 This thesis examines how the Circum-Caribbean region’s cultural and geographic complexity make it difficult to describe or index materials relevant to this region using mainstream authority controls available in galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs). The majority of widely used controls in GLAMs have Western-centralised worldviews and are rigid in nature, thereby incapable of accommodating the fluidity necessary to accurately denote the complex Circum-Caribbean. This paper applies methodologies to the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names and the West Indian Postcard Collection at the Cambridge University Library’s Royal Commonwealth Society department to argue that expanding the vocabulary and applications of an authority control can improve the discoverability of collection materials pertinent to the Circum-Caribbean. My results and observations coupled with brief reviews of two bespoke authority controls lead to recommendations on how to improve authority controls, particularly how to decolonise them and improve their usability for non-Western places and cultures.  
Development of FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) Mirror Technology
Authors: Zuo Hui
Published: June 2023

A low cost and large aperture scanning mirror with high surface quality is always highly desired. This is especially true for scanning LiDARs for autonomous vehicles. Polygon, galvanometer or MEMS mirrors can have a large aperture, but they are bulky, high power consumption and costly.

This dissertation proposes a novel mirror technology for laser scanning, i.e., FPCB (flexible printed circuit board) masked one-step etching large aperture mirror, which simply etches a silicon wafer with a FPCB structure as the etching mask and the other side coated with a metal film as the etching stop layer and reflective surface. Meanwhile the FPCB structure embeds copper coils to generate Lorentz force to oscillate the mirror. The FPCB structure is fabricated using mature and commercially available FPCB process, which is 0.1 mm-resolution based photolithography, instead of 1 μm based photolithography micromachining used in traditional MEMS mirrors. In addition, only one-step DRIE etching is needed without requiring any critical alignment. Such that a low cost can be achieved, e.g., a few dollars per mirror. Moreover, the mirror plate is as thick as the silicon wafer (100~200 μm), which leads to a good flatness (ROC of 10~20 m). Prototypes are fabricated and tested. Achieved performances are: aperture of 12 x 12 mm and 24 x 24 mm, oscillation frequency from 160 Hz ~1 kHz, FOV (field of view) of 30o, 20o and 15o. A 2D and 3D scanning LiDARs based on this novel mirror technology are constructed.

This dissertation also develops two electrostatic parallel plate based FPCB micromirrors with performance improved than the previously developed deigns in our group, e.g., FPCB ring-square electrode sandwiched micromirror and double-stage FPCB electrostatic micromirror. The improvements include: the rotation angle increased by 90%, the resonant frequency increased by 40-70%, and the performance variation reduced from 40% to 12%.

A large aperture FPCB mirror and a 2D LiDAR based on it are developed with the following performances: aperture 25 x 50 mm, FOV of 60o, measurement distance 50 m, 500 points per frame.
Evaluation of Discrete Element Models for Prediction of Abrasive Mass Flow Rate in Abrasive Jet Machining Systems
Authors: Mozafary Seyedeh Mahya
Published: June 2023

The flow of abrasive particles in the pressurized feed system of an abrasive jet micro machining (AJM) apparatus was investigated both experimentally and computationally. The feasibility of predicting the abrasive mass flow rate using discrete element methods implemented in two commercial software packages, i.e. LS-DYNA and EDEM, was studied. A method to simulate applied pressure was developed, and computer codes to extract relative data during postprocessing were implemented. For a simplified system using spherical particles, the EDEM results better agreed with measured mass flow rates, while LS-DYNA software grossly underestimated the measured mass flow rate. The effect of pressure on mass flow rate was studied numerically using EDEM and the trends largely agreed with the experiments. Overall, it is possible to use discrete element methods to simulate powder flow in AJM systems, but only at an exceptionally high computational cost, and with considerable effort to extract relevant data.
Solid particle erosion of particulate-reinforced epoxy composites
Authors: Heydarzadeh Arani Navid
Published: June 2023

Polymeric composites are exposed to erosion by solid particles in many different applications in various industries. The objective of this dissertation is to understand and model the material removal mechanisms occurring when particle-reinforced epoxy composites are subject to solid particle erosion.

Experiments on alumina particulate-reinforced epoxy composites using angular silicon carbide abrasive particles revealed that the dominant erosion mechanisms depended, to a large extent, on the magnitude of three dimensionless parameters. These parameters depended on process variables such as abrasive particle size, kinetic energy, reinforcement size, content and material properties. It was also observed that the use of coupling agent was effective in strengthening the composites interfacial strength leading to improving their erosion resistance.

It was found that with alumina reinforcements, reinforcement erosion and fracture resulted in little to no improvement in erosion resistance compared to the neat epoxy. However, when soft rubber or zirconia reinforcements were used, significant gains in erosion resistance were observed. For the rubber reinforcements, a novel rule of mixtures based on the erosion rates and areal coverages of the two phases is proposed. Using a model that was developed to predict the areal coverages given the reinforcement size and volume fraction, the mixture rule was shown to accurately predict the measured erosion rates.

To better understand the erosion mechanisms of the zirconia-reinforced system, numerical models of the erosion of the neat epoxy and composite were developed. Using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) coupled with finite elements (FE), the developed model correctly predicted the measured neat epoxy steady-state erosion rate, incubation period length, and dominant erosion mechanisms. The SPH/FE model of the zirconia-reinforced composites assumed that, because of their relatively high fracture toughness, the reinforcements did not fracture. The model accurately predicted the significant improvement of the erosion resistance and the erosion mechanisms associated with using these tougher ceramic particles, at both oblique and perpendicular incidences.

The methodologies presented in this thesis aid in determining the process and material parameters that most affect the erosion of particulate composites and, therefore, can be used in the material design process to improve erosion resistance. Although only particle-reinforced epoxy matrix-systems were studied, it is likely that many of the same phenomena will be present in other particulate polymer-matrix composites.
Mechanisms of Improving the Thermal and Electrical Conductivity of Aluminum Alloy Cylinder Heads
Authors: Vandersluis Eli
Published: June 2023

One of the major causes of premature failure in automotive cylinder heads is the accumulation of thermal stresses, due to their large internal temperature gradients in-service. To ensure mechanical integrity, engine operating temperatures are typically restricted. However, this response reduces fuel efficiency, which increases costs and carbon emissions. A more sustainable solution can involve enhancing alloy conductivity, which improves temperature uniformity in the heads. In aluminum alloys, solidification rate, silicon modification, and precipitation heat treatment have each been reported to influence conductivity. Yet, the mechanisms and interactions regarding these parameters were unclear in the literature. Accordingly, the objective of this dissertation was to provide an in-depth, systematic investigation of the individual and combined effects of these processes on the microstructure and conductivity of automotive 319 aluminum alloy.

After performing a baseline characterization of commercial cylinder heads, permanent-mould  castings were produced with a range of solidification rates and strontium contents. These castings were analyzed to establish the dominant microstructural factors affecting electron mobility in the as-cast condition. Then, samples were subjected to multiple combinations of solution, natural aging, artificial aging, and direct aging heat treatments, to elucidate the roles of the dissolution, spheroidization and precipitation transformations. Furthermore, this work was complimented by several innovative, state-of-the-art experiments, which were the first to analyze the kinetics of solidification, chemical modification, thermal expansion, dissolution, and precipitation in 319. As a result, this dissertation contributed numerous, novel and meaningful insights regarding heat transfer in aluminum alloys. This included elucidation of the independent, major impacts of porosity, silicon morphology, and the size, distribution and coherency of the aluminum-copper precipitates, despite insensitivity to the dendritic size. The appropriate combination of solidification rate, strontium content, and heat treatment was demonstrated to promote superior conductivity to what was possible through their individual variation. Given low-porosity castings, this research revealed the potential for approximately 40% improvements in thermal and electrical conductivity, compared to the strontium-free, as-cast condition. Overall, the extensive conductivity data generated in this research supports strategic and practical materials processing procedures, demonstrates opportunities for balancing high conductivity with mechanical integrity, and ensures enhanced component performance and environmental sustainability.
Techno–Economic Feasibility Study and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Analysis of Natural Gas Driven Heat Pump (GHP) Systems in Canada through Building Energy Simulation and Field Testing
Authors: Baig Altamash Ahmad
Published: June 2023

This dissertation presents research on potential benefits of natural gas–fired heat pumps (GHPs) in Canadian climate, identified by conducting field evaluation, simulation and techno–economic feasibility analyses for two different types of natural gas driven heat pump systems, i.e., natural gas engine-driven heat pump (GEHP) and gas-fired absorption heat pump (GAHP). Since gas-fired heat pump is a newer concept in Canada, there is a lack of knowledge that was addressed by this research. Three different types of buildings were selected for this research to consider the future potential of installation of GHPs in different types of building. A GEHP was installed and commissioned in a warehouse/office in Woodstock, ON. This was used, along with a GAHP system installed at a library building in Tweed, ON, as case studies and provide information regarding the energy saving, energy cost savings and reduction in GHG emissions achieved by GHPs in Canadian climate. An additional GAHP system was installed and tested at the Archetype Sustainable House in Woodbridge, ON at Kortright Conservation Centre of Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA).

Results confirm that GHPs can be operated in Canadian climate with lower operational costs compared to conventional equipment while also providing a net reduction of GHG emissions especially when operated in heating mode as a replacement for conventional furnaces. However, when operated in both heating and cooling modes, to replace conventional furnaces and air conditioners, the benefits of GHPs greatly depend on the relative duration and severity of the heating and cooling seasons, marginal costs and GHG emission factors of both natural gas and electricity.

Heating and cooling degree days that result in highest energy savings were determined. Also, marginal cost of gas and GHG emission factor threshold up to which GHPs could yield benefits were also identified for various cities in Canada. Furthermore, it was found that imposition of carbon price alone would not be able to diminish the cost benefits of GHPs in the near future while any future GHG emission restrictions in some cities would affect the viability of GHPs at those locations.

Published: June 2023

İslam düşünce tarihindeki en renkli ve karizmatik fırkalardan birisi, şüphesiz İslâm’ın ilk rasyonalistleri olarak adlandırılabilecek olan Mu’tezile fırkasıdır. İslâm’da akılcı düşüncenin öncüleri olan Mu’tezile’nin tarihinin incelenmesi aynı zamanda genelde İslâm düşünce tarihinin özelde ise kelam tarihinin incelenmesi demek olacaktır. Biz bu çalışmada Ahmed b. Yahyâ b. el-Murtazâ'nın Tabakâtu'l-Mu'tezile adlı eserini inceleyerek Mu’tezile’nin bazı yönleri hususunda bilgiler aktarmış olacağız. Çalışmada deskriptif bir yöntem kullanılmıştır. Eser baştan sona taranmış ve dikkat çekici bilgiler çalışmaya yansıtılmıştır. Gerekli görülen bazı yerlerde eserde dile getirilen bazı fikirlere eleştiriler yöneltilmiştir. Çalışmamız İbnu’l-Murtazâ’nın Tabakâtu'l-Mu'tezile adlı eserinin tasvîrî bir yöntemle tanıtılmasından ibarettir. İlgili eser özellikle Mu’tezile’nin hadis ve rivâyetlere yaklaşımı açısından mercek altına alınmıştır. İslâm'da hadis ve sünnetin yeri etrafındaki tartışmaların tarihi çok gerilere gitmektedir. Bu tartışmalar gündeme geldiğinde ise ilk akla gelen itikâdî fırkalardan birisi Mu'tezile olmaktadır. Ancak hadis ve Mu'tezile yan yana zikredildiğinde, genelde ehl-i sünnet çevrelerinde zihinlerde oluşan ilk düşünce tamamen olumsuzdur. Bu kısa kitap kritiği çalışması çerçevesinde Mu’tezile’nin hadise karşı yaklaşımı ile ilgili önemli ip uçları tespit edilmiştir. En azından Tabakâtu'l-Mu'tezile çerçevesinde Mu’tezile’nin hadis inkarcısı bir fırka olarak tanımlamayacağı sonucuna ulaştığımızı söylememiz mümkündür. Eserden edindiğimiz intibaların en önemlilerinden birisi de şudur: Mu’tezile kendini ana İslâmî eğilimden ayrıştırmak yerine kendini İslam dininde merkezde konumlandırmaya önem vermektedir.

Published: June 2023

Information obtained at the Banjarbaru Climatology Station includes seasonal forecasts, rainfall analysis, rainfall properties analysis, rainy day analysis, and monitoring of rainless days in the South Kalimantan region. Monitoring of Rainless Day is a form of data on rainless days that occur in South Kalimantan in sequence. The data is sent by observers to the Banjarbaru Climatology Station office using SMS, WhatsApp, and even by calling the staff of the Banjarbaru Climatology Station so that employees must check every media both SMS, WhatsApp, and telephone to find out the data sent by observers. Related to these problems, a web-based rainless day monitoring application was made. By using the Research and Development (R&D) method to facilitate the management of rainless day data, a geographic information system management system using Google Maps API and MySQL database is built which is integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technology based on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for data collection in real-time. The system built will provide notifications in the management of areas affected by rainless days in order to deal with drought.

Celem artykułu jest identyfikacja podstawowych źródeł słabości ekonomii jako dyscypliny nauki w skutecznej diagnozie oraz przewidywaniu przyszłego przebiegu zdarzeń ekonomicznych i ich konsekwencji. Inaczej ujmując – przyczyn tytułowej niemocy ekonomistów, a także typowej dla tej dyscypliny mnogości opinii, stanowisk, wreszcie teorii, występujących paralelnie, w tym samym czasie w odniesieniu do tych samych okresów oraz zdarzeń gospodarczych i rynkowych. Główna teza artykułu przyjmuje, iż podstawową przyczyną niemożności ekonomistów do zgodnego zdiagnozowania przeszłych zdarzeń ekonomicznych oraz trafnego opowiedzenia się co do przyszłego ich przebiegu jest sama natura zjawisk i procesów gospodarczych, implikująca wieloznaczność i nieostrość głoszonych poglądów, zaś równoległa wielość poglądów to prosta konsekwencja charakteru ekonomii jako ze swej istoty dyscypliny heterogenicznej, co wymaga współpracy środowiska i akceptacji różnych poglądów, a nie dzielenia ich na te słuszne i te negowane, czyli niezasługujące na uznanie. W związku z tak nakreślonym celem badawczym oraz sformułowaną tezą główną prowadzone analizy mają charakter badań niereaktywnych, w ramach których wykorzystano takie metody, jak analiza treści (content analysis) oraz badania historyczno-porównawcze (historical-comparative research).
Ekoinnowacje w branży produkcji materiałów budowlanych w Polsce
Authors: Michalak Jacek , Wysocki Jacek
Published: June 2023

W artykule omówiona została rola ekoinnowacji w działalności przedsiębiorstw z branży produkcji materiałów budowlanych. Analizowana branża cechuje się wysoką dynamiką wzrostu, a także stosunkowo wysokim poziomem innowacyjności w odniesieniu do całego budownictwa. Z kolei ekoinnowacje stanowią szczególny rodzaj innowacji, który z perspektywy przedsiębiorstw będzie na przestrzeni najbliższych lat zyskiwał na znaczeniu, głównie z uwagi na zachodzące zmiany gospodarcze oraz nasilający się globalny kryzys środowiskowy. W efekcie celem autorskich badań ankietowych uczyniono próbę rozpoznania stopnia wykorzystania rozwiązań ekoinnowacyjnych wraz z postrzeganiem ich znaczenia oraz powiązań z innowacjami w działalności przedsiębiorstw funkcjonujących na polskim rynku materiałów budowlanych. Wyniki badań przeprowadzonych w 2022 roku częściowo wypełniły lukę badawczą w tym zakresie, gdyż umożliwiły wskazanie różnic w stosowaniu i postrzeganiu przez badane przedsiębiorstwa ekoinnowacji i innowacji, a także pozwoliły na określenie, które rodzaje ekoinnowacji są przez nie uznawane za najważniejsze. Finalnie niezbyt optymistyczny okazał się jednak fakt, że respondenci z badanych przedsiębiorstw nadal postrzegają ekoinnowacje – w odróżnieniu od innowacji – jako mniej znaczące dla ich działalności i przez to mniej skuteczne, mimo iż mają świadomość pojęcia ekoinnowacji.

Objective. The objective of the research is theoretical and practical study of factors and directions of influence on the formation of modern trends in world food trade and directions for overcoming the food crisis. Also research of food security problems and ways to overcome the food crisis in Ukraine.

Methods. To achieve the goal, the following methods were used: descriptive, analytical, analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization, induction and deduction, statistical, tabular.

Results. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that food is a primary strategic commodity, a priority direction for the development of the world economy and international politics. Also, under the current circumstances, the problem of ensuring global food security in the modern world is intensifying, the main reasons for which are the instability of the global agro-food market and the crisis in agricultural production.

It was determined that at the current stage of the development of economic thought there is no single approach and methods of developing world food trade in the processes of ensuring food security. There are a large number of funds and organizations that help develop world food trade, due to which they stabilize the state of world food security with some success, providing recommendations and methods for overcoming the food crisis, the most significant contribution was made by the «Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)».

The list of countries that are the most influential and significant global food exporters has been determined. According to the results of the analysis of statistical data, it was established that Ukraine was also an influential participant in the international food market before the events of February 2022, but due to these events, it lost volumes from certain food items. In general, the international food market showed a trend of growth in food production volumes and a stable increase in prices, which has recently been of a rapid nature. It is established that in 2022, the highest price increase in the whole world in the last 40 years took place and the trend of recession of food security in the world can be traced.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis Presenting as Acute Respiratory Failure and Unilateral Complete Lung Collapse: Two Case Reports With Review of Literature
Authors: Rai Deependra Kumar , Bhushan Gupta Vatsal , Sharma Priya , Harish Ameet
Published: June 2023

Massive haemoptysis, which can result in abrupt respiratory failure, is a potentially fatal consequence of pulmonary tuberculosis. Radiologically, it can present as a complete collapse of one lung due to endobronchial clot formation. Here, the authors report two cases, one of whom was a female who was pregnant and near term, who presented with massive haemoptysis followed by severe respiratory distress. Fibre optic bronchoscopy was performed in both cases, and clots were retrieved. One of the patients required intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation. The procedure was technically difficult because of the acute hypoxaemia, necessitating a team of pulmonologists and anaesthetists. Bronchoalveolar lavage enabled the authors to clinch the diagnosis. Post-procedure, both patients showed rapid clinical and radiological improvement. In resource-limited settings where rigid bronchoscopy is not available, fibre optic bronchoscopy can be performed for clot retrieval, as it can be a life-saving procedure for the patient.

Knowledge supply chains in an age of truth decay
Authors: Bentzen Naja
Published: June 2023

Our information sphere—the space where we not only express our opinions, but where we also form our opinions—is facing significant challenges. The core trends of »truth decay«— growing disagreement about facts; blurred lines between opinion and fact; increasing influence of opinion over fact; and declining trust in formerly respected sources of factual information—have become increasingly evident in the strategic and systemic dilution and distortion of information that contribute to increasing fragmentation of society, deepening already existing divisions. Over the past three years, growing geopolitical tension and asymmetric warfare have further increased the visibility of and focus on the weaponisation of information and, by implication, the weaknesses of our collective cognitive security. Societal and economic repercussions of the pandemic and the accompanying »infodemic«, the accelerated geopolitical competition, as well as recent domestic political violence in the USA and—most recently—Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, have increased the sense of urgency to defend and reinvigorate the information ecosystems that form the core of our liberal democracies, enabling everyone to not only express their opinions, but also to form their opinions, to make informed choices without being manipulated. Against this backdrop, the strategic importance of strengthening our knowledge supply chains is growing. Reinvigorating already existing components of our shared information sphere—including national verified encyclopedias—can help boost collective cognitive resilience against information manipulation, both in and beyond Europe. The external face of such investments can contribute to developing new aspects of European knowledge diplomacy, promoting and projecting European democratic values and freedoms in third countries.
Ukrainian encyclopedistics in wartime (based on the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine)
Authors: Zhelezniak Mykola , Ishchenko Oleksandr
Published: June 2023

The aim of this article is to present the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine (Ukrainian: Entsyklopediia Suchasnoi Ukrainy) as one of the priority Ukrainian academic scholarly publications in the context of the ongoing Russian war against Ukraine, and to outline the editorial team’s priorities in responding to the new challenges of the time. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism and consistency. General scholarly methods were used, including analysis, synthesis, description, and generalisation. The authors report on the peculiarities of preparing the paper volumes of the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine, emphasise the importance and necessity of producing a complete set of EMU volumes for the cultural development of the state and building the state’s information ecosystem. At the same time, they draw attention to the fact that paper encyclopedia publishing needs more funding than it currently has (in recent years, the shortage of funding has been compensated by reducing the quality of printing and the circulation of edition volumes). The article also covers the encyclopedia’s digital counterpart (EMU website as an online encyclopedia). In particular, it was found that the indicators of the online encyclopedia visits and pageviews are increasing every year. Moreover, in a turbulent 2022 of full-scale war, the website traffic was the highest ever. The language specificity of the online encyclopedia’s visitors is in the focus of the authors as well. The authors state that the war negatively impacts various spheres of life in Ukraine including academic encyclopedistics and suggest that the editorial and publishing process relating to the Encyclopedia of Modern Ukraine should be revised. It is concluded that it is economically expedient to focus on the EMU’s online version during the war. Along with this, there is a possibility of a complete blackout of Ukraine, which could be caused by Russian airstrikes on the country’s critical infrastructure. In such a situation, the editorial team’s planned direction for the next year(s) of activity regarding online encyclopedia development unfortunately seems problematic as well.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the creative work of the Podolsk artist Jan Grejm (1860–1886), whose short life and activity practically remained out of attention of researchers and scientists. Information on the history of the Grejm family, conditions of formation and development of his creative talent, the influence of the spiritual atmosphere of the environment on the formation of professional qualities of the artist are considered. Emphasis is put on the work of Jan’s father, Mykhailo Grejm (1828–1911), a famous photographer, restorer and numismatist, who created an atmosphere of creativity, conditions for constant intellectual and creative development for his son. It was stated that Jan Grejm, with the support of the best representatives of the Polish intelligentsia of Podillya, through his father’s international relations, received the highest quality art education at that time, studying in art institutions of Europe: Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Munich. The article highlights the results of the authors’ searches for information about the artist in the archives of Poland and Ukraine, which made it possible to clarify the presence or absence of Jan Grejm’s creative works, to correct the mistakes of previous researchers. New information about the young artist’s awards for participation in art competitions has been introduced. The article proves that the few architectural compositions of J. Grejm, which record the lost objects of Podolsk architecture, together with much more common photo compositions of his father M. Grejm represent a unique, and sometimes the only fixation of destroyed monuments, extremely important for restoration work, able to significantly replenish the historical and architectural science and ensure the creation of quality graphic reconstructions; they contain information about the style and typology of the depicted objects of antiquity in a specific period of time (second half of the 19th century).

Social inclusion, in evidence in the business environment, brings as an immediate consequence, as many certainties as there are doubts around the theme. This article aims to shed light on part of the core of this issue, highlighting the context of people with disabilities (PCDs), and their particularities regarding the Laws, struggles and social debates that have been fought for the effectiveness of their inclusion in the world capitalist. This research is justified by the need to clarify possible questions that have not yet been answered on the subject, especially those involving possible problems regarding the relationships between people with disabilities and their employers. The methodology used in this study is that of a bibliographical review, mainly of scientific articles, arranged both in physical and digital collections. The results achieved are that the writings gathered here can help in forming a conviction that the inclusion of PCDs in the labor market is gradually being conquered, especially with a view to multilaterally celebrated employer agreements, as well as, with the debates, Decrees and Laws, substrates which, together, provide the best understandings to subsidize those whose dominant social role is to employ PCDs. The main bibliographic contribution of this research focuses on the work The fourth industrial revolution and labor reform (CALVETE & HORN, 2020).

Background

Malignant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) phenotypes have potential risks of severe heart failure, fatal arrhythmia, and sudden cardiac death. Therefore, it is critical to predict the clinical outcomes of these patients. It was reported recently that the alpha kinase 3 (ALPK3) gene was involved in the occurrence of HCM. Herein we reported a girl with HCM, while whole-exome sequencing found novel compound heterozygous variants in ALPK3 gene, which identified a potential association.

Case presentation

We reported a 14-year-girl who suffered from clinical manifestations of cardiac failure, with sudden cardiac arrest before admission. The heartbeat recovered after cardiopulmonary resuscitation, though she remained unconscious without spontaneous breath. The patient stayed comatose when she was admitted. Physical examination indicated enlargement of the heart boundary. Laboratory results revealed a significant increment of myocardial markers, while imaging demonstrated hypertrophy of the left heart and interventricular septum. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a compound heterozygous variant in ALPK3 gene consisting of c.3907_3922del and c.2200A>T, which was inherited from her parents. Both variants (p.G1303Lfs*28 and p.R734*) were disease-causing evaluated by MutationTaster (probability 1.000). The crystal structure of the complete amino acid sequence is predicted and evaluated by AlphaFold and SWISS-MODEL software (July, 2022), which revealed three domains. Moreover, both variants resulted in a wide protein-truncating variant and damaged protein function. Thus, a novel compound heterozygous variant in ALPK3 associated with HCM was diagnosed.

Conclusion

We described a young patient with ALPK3-associated HCM who experienced sudden cardiac arrest. Through WES, we identified a compound heterozygous variant in the ALPK3 gene, c.3907_3922del and c.2200A>T, which were inherited from the patient's parents and resulted in a truncated protein, indirectly causing the symptoms of HCM. In addition, WES provided clues in evaluating potential risks of gene variants on fatal clinical outcomes, and the nonsense and frameshift variants of ALPK3 were related to adverse clinical outcomes in HCM patients, which required implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) timely.

High-amplitude changes in sedimentary δ13C characterize the Cretaceous system and have been proven useful for supra-regional chemostratigraphic correlation. In the Cretaceous, these δ13C perturbations indicate large shifts between the global carbon reservoirs that are usually caused by volcanic activity of large igneous provinces, the widespread deposition of thick organic carbon-rich sequences and/or changes in orbital parameters. Here, we present an upper Berriasian to lower Coniacian (c. 142–88 Ma) composite carbon isotope record based on 14 drill cores, 2 outcrops, and almost 5,000 samples. The total record comprises a composite thickness of more than 1,500 m. All cores and successions are located in the larger Hanover area, which represents the depocenter of the North German Lower Saxony Basin in Early to mid-Cretaceous times. In Northern Germany, Boreal Lower Cretaceous sediments are predominantly represented by CaCO3-poor mud and siltstones of up to 2,000 m thickness, which become more carbonate-rich during the Albian–Cenomanian transition and even chalkier in the upper Cenomanian to Coniacian interval. The carbon isotope record reveals a number of global key events, including the Valanginian Weissert Event, the Oceanic Anoxic Events (OAEs) 1a and d, and the Kilian Event (Aptian–Albian boundary, part of OAE 1b). For the early Late Cretaceous, the Mid-Cenomanian Event, the OAE 2 (Cenomanian–Turonian Boundary Event), and the Navigation Event, among others, have been identified. The Kilian Event represents the Aptian–Albian boundary and has been identified herein for the first time in Northern Europe. Based on the evaluation of its relative position to the Vöhrum boundary tuff, we tentatively propose a slightly older age for the Aptian–Albian boundary of c. 113.65 Ma instead of 113.2 Ma. The observed chemostratigraphic events enable a detailed stratigraphic comparison with Tethyan and other Boreal records and associated paleoenvironmental data. Thus, this new detailed chemostratigraphy provides a unique opportunity to potentially overcome many still existing Boreal–Tethyan correlation issues. The presented record can be considered almost complete, albeit a 2-Myr gap during the early Albian is likely, and condensed intervals occur specifically during the lower Aptian.

Introduction: The vanadium-titanium iron ore tailings (VTIOTs) has a significant amount of discharge, and serious pollution, which makes it difficult to use directly as a resources resource.

Methods: High-strength fired water permeable brick (HSFWPB) was prepared using VTIOTs as the main raw material. The orthogonal test, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), and synthetic precipitation leaching procedure (SPLP) were obtained to study the basic properties and firing mechanism of HSFWPB containing VTIOTs, and an economic benefit evaluation was conducted on the project investment of HSFWPB containing VTIOTs.

Results: The results show that when the content of VTIOTs in HSFWPB is 78%, the firing temperature (FT) is 1080°C and the holding time is 120 min, the compressive strength and permeability coefficient of the fired product reach 70.4 MPa and 0.055 cmˑs−1, respectively, which meet the requirements of Cc60 grade products in Water permeable brick (JC/T 945–2005). The products of HSFWPB containing VTIOTs after firing are diopside (CaMgSi2O6) and augite (Ca (Mg, Fe, Al) (Si, Al)2O6), with the increase of FT and the extension of HT, the low melting point elements of P, Na, K dissolve out, and the content of Fe and Al in the firing products increases, most of Ca2+ in diopside is replaced by Fe3+, so that augite becomes the main crystal phase. With the increase of FT, the pores in the fired products are changed from: closed pores with different sizes→ connected pores with irregular diameters→ irregular collapse pores→ small and uniform circular pores, which provides a guarantee for the permeability of HSFWPB containing VTIOTs.

Discussion: The full investment payback period of the project of HSFWPB containing VTIOTs is 1.77 years. When the production reaches 48.585% of the design output, it reaches a breakeven point, and the project has strong risk resistance ability. The research has improved the utilization rate of VTIOTs and provided a new approach for the large-scale application of VTIOTs.
