Wpływ systemu produkcji na wartość odżywczą ziarna niektórych odmian pszenżyta ozimego (× Triticosecale Wittm. ex A. Camus)
Authors: ŁYSOŃ EWELINA , BIEL WIOLETTA
Published: November 2021

Celem badań było porównanie wybranych składników odżywczych ziarna czterech odmian pszenżyta ozimego (‘Cultivo’, ‘Grenado’, ‘Benetto’, ‘Tarzan’) uprawianych w konwencjonalnym i ekologicznym systemie produkcji pochodzących z doświadczenia polowego w latach 2010–2011. Oceną objęto zawartość: suchej masy, białka ogółem, tłuszczu surowego, włókna surowego, popiołu surowego i BAW oraz frakcji włókna (NDF, ADF, ADL, HCEL, CEL), a także Ca, P, K i Na. W ziarnie pszenżyta z uprawy ekologicznej uzyskano średnio o 16% mniej białka ogółem w porównaniu z ziarnem pochodzącym z uprawy konwencjonalnej. Ziarno pochodzące z uprawy ekologicznej zawierało istotnie więcej tłuszczu, popiołu, BAW oraz ADF i ADL. System uprawy nie wpłynął istotnie na zawartość składników mineralnych w ziarnie pszenżyta. Ziarno odmiany ‘Cultivo’ charakteryzowało się największą zawartością białka, tłuszczu surowego, popiołu surowego, wszystkich frakcji włókna (z wyjątkiem ADL), a także fosforu i potasu w porównaniu z ziarnem pozostałych odmian.
Zmienność długości okresu zimowego spoczynku roślin i termicznej zimy na Kujawach i Wyżynie Lubelskiej w latach 1980–2014

Published: November 2021

W pracy porównano zmienność długości oraz dat początku i końca okresu zimowego spoczynku roślin (sezonu pozawegetacyjnego) i termicznej zimy w dwóch regionach rolniczych w Polsce – na Kujawach i Wyżynie Lubelskiej. Analizę wykonano na podstawie wieloletniej (1980–2014) serii średniej dobowej temperatury powietrza ze stacji agrometeorologicznych w Bydgoszczy (Kujawy) i Lublinie (Wyżyna Lubelska). Termiczna zima w Bydgoszczy stanowiła 48% czasu trwania sezonu pozawegetacyjnego, a w Lublinie 55%. Obydwa analizowane sezony na Kujawach trwały średnio dwa tygodnie krócej niż na Wyżynie Lubelskiej, na której zaczynały się około tygodnia wcześniej a kończyły około tygodnia później. Zmienność czasowa analizowanych charakterystyk była większa od przestrzennej. Termiczna zima cechowała się większą od sezonu pozawegetacyjnego zmiennością długości oraz dat początku i końca. W obydwu regionach nie stwierdzono istotnych statystycznie tendencji do zmian czasu trwania oraz dat początku i końca tych sezonów.
Endocrine response and outcome in 14 cats with insulin resistance and acromegaly treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (17 Gy)

Published: November 2021

OBJECTIVE

To describe clinical outcomes in cats with insulin resistance and acromegaly treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

ANIMALS

14 client-owned cats.

PROCEDURES

Medical records of cats with insulin resistance and acromegaly treated with SRS (17 Gy) between August 2013 and November 2019 at a single institution were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate overall survival time.

RESULTS

Acute adverse effects of SRS included somnolence (n = 2) and alopecia (1). Delayed adverse effects of SRS included unspecified neurologic complications (n = 1; 481 days), seizures (1; 1,541 days), and hypothyroidism (1; 64 days). Exogenous insulin requirements decreased in 10 of the 14 cats, with a median time to lowest insulin dose of 399 days (range, 42 to 879 days). Complete diabetic remission was achieved in 3 cats. The median overall survival time was 741 days (95% CI, 353 to 1,129 days). Six cats were still alive at the end of the study period, with a median follow-up time of 725 days. In 7 of the 8 cats that had died, death was presumptively attributed to acromegaly owing to continued insulin resistance, organ failure, or altered neurologic status.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The SRS protocol was well tolerated and associated with survival times similar to those reported previously. Most cats had decreased exogenous insulin requirements after SRS. Latency to an endocrine response was highly variable, emphasizing the need for careful ongoing diabetic monitoring of acromegalic cats after pituitary gland irradiation.

У статті проведено аналіз теоретичних праць вітчизняних та зарубіжних фахівців щодо проблеми впливу гендерних стереотипів і диференціальної соціалізації на обдарованих дітей, зокрема дівчат. Зауважено, що породження стереотипів досить обмежує розвиток талантів і здібностей дівчат та хлопців, що звужує можливості у житті загалом. Здійснено актуалізацію проблем “зникаючої обдарованості” у дівчат і “подвійного ланцюга очікувань” в обдарованих дітей. На основі аналізу наукових праць окреслено вікові особливості обдарованих дівчат дошкільного та підліткового віку. Зазначається, що гендерна специфіка обдарованості, вираження і можливості особистості дівчат залишаються майже не вивченими. З’ясовано, що стереотипізація особливо шкідлива для обдарованих дітей.

In this case, the use of PRRT in a RI approach resulted in positive changes in terms of function and pain while also doing so in less time than previously reported using more traditional methods of treating PFP. Clinicians should consider either RI style evaluations or the addition of PRRT into rehabilitation programs of patients with PFP, especially if those patients have failed other treatment methods prior.
Economy Policy of Iran Against Financial Sanctions
Authors: YALÇINKAYA Alaeddin , TUĞLU Derya
Published: November 2021

Sanctions are one of the foreign policy instrument of states taking its roots from the depth of the history. This instrument restricts activities utilized by one or more international actors, upon any other international actor -like certain institutions, individuals or private companies of a certain country- in order to achieve foreign policy goals or for making that actor change its behaviour. These restrictive activites may be in the form of political, economic, financial restrictions or some of them together.

Financial sanctions are relatively younger tools than the other kinds and they are used as suplementary to economic sanctions to increase their forcefulness. But, as well as conventional methods to evade financial sanctions, there is also a transformation process about the existing global financial mechanism. In this article, effeciency of the financial sanctions will be analysed by the Iran sanctions case during the 2010’s, taking into consideration newly developed evasion methods and the changing global financial environment.
An Encounter with the Dead and a Fantasy of Communication: Intersubjectivity of Elegiac Poetry
Authors: Komura Toshiaki
Published: November 2021

In his essay, “Autobiography as a De-facement,” Paul de Man comments on the elegiacprosopopoeia as follows: “the latent threat that inhabits prosopopoeia, namely that by making thedead speak, the symmetrical structure of the trope implies, by the same token, that the living arestruck dumb, frozen in their own death” (1979: 928). In this view, by becoming a mouthpiece forthe dead, the living elegist enters the world of death. This idea has formed the basis for ourcurrent theorization of elegy as a point of intersection between the dead and the living, a medium of communication between the two.
Renegotiations of Canadian Space in Contemporary CBC Audio Distribution Models
Authors: Weafer Miles
Published: November 2021

This paper treats the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s (CBC) online ventures as examples ofthe national public broadcaster’s continued negotiation of Canadian space. More specifically, the paper looks at the online streaming and podcasting of English language radio broadcast content. This paper accounts for CBC Radio One’s distribution of audio programming—historically by way of national broadcasts and more recently by way of online streaming and podcast archives—as models of Canadian cultural transmission, which marginalize outlying Canadian regions in relation to production centres in Toronto and Montréal. This paper treats CBC Radio One’s collection, assemblage and transmission of programming as better indicators of theinequalities between production centers and outlying regions than any particular programming content. With focus on the most recent incarnation of the CBC radio morning interview show, Q,and drawing from Canadian communication studies, I will outline how the podcasting of Englishlanguage CBC radio programming both rearticulates the broadcaster’s history and presence as acentral manager of Canadian stories, and provides audiences with opportunities to activelyundermine this centralized management.
WHERE HAVE ALL THE REVOLUTIONARIES GONE? HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE REINVENTION OF REVOLUTION IN REBIYA KADEER’S DRAGON FIGHTER
Authors: Lu Katharine
Published: November 2021

For five and half years, Rebiya Kadeer was imprisoned as a political prisoner in China and was finally released in 2005 after Amnesty International campaigned for her release. Today, she now campaigns as a human rights activist against what many Uyghurs consider Chinese occupation of their homeland, Xinjiang. Although many organizationswork on human rights violations against the Uyghurs, Rebiya Kadeer has emerged as the primary symbol of Uyghur resistance in China, much like the Dalai Lama for Tibet.Her simultaneous position as both a human rights activist and resistance symbol offers a unique vantage point in exploring the relationship between memory, women, and nationalism. In sketching out these connections, this paper will analyze the agency and representation in the process of memory making and the gendering of resistance in relation to the life and memoir of Rebiya Kadeer. The political project of witnessing through representation offers a practical departure point for better understanding the formation of a feminine revolutionary subjectivity in contrast to the romanticized icon of the masculine, revolutionary hero. In proposing the relationship between memory, women and nationalism, this paper aims to ultimately understand whether the revolutionary subject has in effect become the human rights activist. And if this is the case, what then are the conditions for revolution, and is revolution possible within the logic of human rights discourse?
THE NEGLECT OF THE AUTHOR IN NEW HISTORICISM
Authors: Marquez Patricia Ana
Published: November 2021

When discussing the emergence of New Historicism in American scholarship, it is imperative to assess its origins and influences. Mikhail Bakhtin’s exploration of the multiples of languages within the novel and Michel Foucault’s analysis of the role of the author in texts both catapulted the development of New Historical scholarship. Today, this method of scholarship approaches the author as a non-autonomous agent subjected by the multiple social, political, and cultural forces of his or her era. Similarly, literature is perceived as an art form not unique from others and should be analyzed to point toward overarching power structures to the same degree as any other mode of representation. In considering the author as a social construct, many New Historicists neglect to perceive the author as a potential formulator or modifier of reigning ideology. The fact of the matter is that literature is able to shape the ideology of a society, not merely represent it. In viewing the author as a construct of his time period, critics fail to attempt to determine which literary works were revolutionary in their ability to manipulate and change a given society’s underlying modes of thinking and practice.
LUMINATO FESTIVAL: TORONTO’S ANSWER TO THE CRISIS OF SPACE AND PLACE FOR CITIZENS
Authors: Anderson Michele
Published: November 2021

Dragan Klaic, a leading researcher on festivals in Europe, believes the new emerging purpose of festivals is that they"increasingly… are not just artistic packages with appealing and valued content but instruments to re-examine the urban dynamics, … within the city space.…[F]estivals challenge the habitual pathways and perceptions…. In the urban space, functionally dominated by housing and consumerism, festivals reaffirm the public sphere in its civic dimension, including polemic, debate, critique and collective passion for a certain art form or topic.… [F]estivals appear as a precious force to mark the perimeters of the public sphere, upgrade it by the concentration of creative gestures and their collective appreciation"(202-203).Klaic captures a theme of central importance, one that has been debated already within the context of broadcast media, the Internet and newspaper industry, but that still has yet to be thoroughly explored by theorists within the context of the cultural sphere of festivals: the public sphere. Specifically, because of the nature of festivals as a spatiotemporal event within the physical space of the city, and because political, socioeconomic as well as artistic-cultural spaces intersect the festival event, festivals areunique points of convergence in the context of the public sphere.
ARCHITECTURES OF CRISIS IN BLINDESS AND SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK
Authors: Chew May
Published: November 2021

This paper endeavours to do two things at once. It posits, firstly, that Fernando Meirelles’s Blindness (2008) and Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York (2008), can be conceptualized through the language of crisis and quarantine, in order to illustrate how architectural  and discursive enclosures—or the synchronized acts of building and narrating crisis—work to anxiously “contain the outbreak” and regulate the wayward text or body. At the same time, this paper also looks at the ways in which Synecdoche, when compared to the more prototypical quarantine film, Blindness, is in the end rather ambivalent with regards to the disciplinary project of quarantine, and in fact leaves room for unresolved tensions and renegade narratives which function to significantly trouble the articulation and containment of crisis.
Recycling as a Crisis of Meaning
Authors: Liboiron Max
Published: November 2021

In laymen’s terms, recycling is “good for the environment.” It involves “doing your bit” to help “save the Earth.” Yet, recycling requires high expenditures of energy and virgin materials, and produces pollutants, greenhouse gases and waste; it creates products that are “down-cycled” because they are not as robust as their predecessors, nor are such products usually recyclable themselves. Of the fifteen to thirty percent of recyclables that are retrieved from the waste stream, “almost half” are buried or burned due to contamination or market fluctuations that devalue recyclables over virgin materials (McDonough and Braungart, 56-60; Rogers, 176-179; Luke, 115-135; Rathje, 203-7;MacBride; Ackerman; EPA; Grassroots Recycling Network, Taxpayers for CommonSense, Materials Efficiency Project and Friends of the Earth). Furthermore, recycling infrastructure creates a framework where disposables become naturalized commodities instead of allowing practices of waste redesign, reduction or elimination. How is the schism between the popular perception of recycling as “good for the environment” and its less environmentally sound industrial processes maintained? By critiquing the visual culture of recycling campaigns, I argue that the meaning of recycling has been decontextualized, narrowed, and naturalized, thus functioning as a commodity sign.That is, recycling has been “abstracted from [its] context and then reframed in terms of the assumptions and interpretive rules of the advertising framework” through which it is promoted (Goldman, 5). I identify three main characteristics of the recycling commodity-sign. First, the individual, rather than government or industry, is represented as the primary unit of social change. Secondly, recycling is depicted as an act that ends at the blue bins, cutting out the industrial side of the cycle. Finally, recycling is symbolized as something that benefits the environment “in general” rather than as a specific form of waste management. Overall, I argue that recycling, instead of being a solution to environmental or waste crises, in fact constitutes a crisis of meaning that allows environmental degradation and derisory waste practices to continue.
FIRST NATIONS ON VIEW: CANADIAN MUSEUMS AND HYBRID REPRESENTATIONS OF CULTURE
Authors: Ashley Susan
Published: November 2021

Museums are important public sites for the representation and authentication of history and heritage in Canadian society.The study of history and ethnographic museums allows important insights into issues of race, ethnicity and identity, and especially how the colonial legacy has shaped how Canadians see themselves. Museums are a supreme expression of imperialist Europe — publicly funded institutions devoted to colonial sensibilities. This includes vast halls set up to display the “booty” of war and conquest as well as the mounds of material evidence produced by scientific research and collecting. Museums of the 19th century were concerned with objects (and objectifying) and possessed a foundational purpose to define what was cultured or civilized (and what was not). Early exhibits emphasized purity of race, the progression of history and the sense that the “white” European race was the pinnacle of evolution. Museums defined, and continue to define and present who we are as nations or communities or cultures, and inevitably separate the we from everyone else out there (Bennett, 1995; Hooper-Greenhill,1999). By using exhibition as its form of communication, museums set up frozen instances in time and fixed them, unchangeable, as expert truth; there was no opportunity then to contest or even engage in dialogue. Objects displayed, in public, for audiences to gawk at or exclaim over. This very act of exhibition was spectacular in the Debordian sense: a representation, divorced from reality, is presented to and consumed by an undifferentiated audience.
TELEVISION AND THE “OBJET A”: PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE "BOOB TUBE"
Authors: Flemming Gregory C.
Published: November 2021

It was Metz’ project, as Baudry before him, to position the filmic apparatus within its ideological framework in order to expose the medium that had been hidden beneath a discursive concentration on content. Metz and Baudry did not only interrogate the machinery of the cinema – the camera, the projector, the screen, the theatre – but also the position that its subject assumed to it: The cinema’s audience was not an external element, but its constitutive suture. And it was not just that the film industry created this position to empty the pockets of her patron’s; for Baudry, it represented the fulfillment of a centuries old desire to obtain a realer-than-real, as first manifested in Plato’s creation of the hypothetical cave-come-prison. So too for Metz the cinema was “a veritable psychical substitute, a prosthesis for our primally dislocated limbs” (15). My analysis here is similar to that of Baudry and Metz, though its object is different. Here television is unearthed from its content, described in its function as a member of our bodies, psyches, and social environment.
Rosy Pictures: An Installation of Photography
Authors: Hunter Natalie
Published: November 2021

Rosy Pictures is a body of photographic work that considers the relationship between medium, material, and process in the formation of human memory. Found family slide archives,Kodachrome slides depicting landscapes, interior and exterior spaces, travel, gardens, and family portraiture are combined, layered, and re-photographed using light to form new spaces that rest somewhere between reality and fiction. Combining both analogue and digital technologies, material function is questioned in a culture dominated by moving image screens, and ephemeral digital data. In this way, the outdated Kodachrome slide object becomes an immaterial trace of its material existence, and a catalyst for exploring how photography frames the past within the present.
Found Polaroids (2011- on-going)
Authors: Zeleny Kyler
Published: November 2021

The Found Polaroids project started in 2011 with the finding of 484 images and has grown into a personal archival collection of over six thousand Polaroids. e concept behind the project is to breathe new life into long-forgotten images by asking creative minds to write stories about them. e project simply asks for 250-350 word flash-fiction submissions; not of who these people are, but who they could have been. e project has since become a hub of collaboration between photographers, writers and academics advocating for the cultural importance of material photography and found photography. Much of this exchange and collaboration has come about through digital pathways and is part of the material turn facilitated by online exchanges.What makes this collection unique is that most shots are entirely candid and were captured by someone who had a personal relationship with the subjects in the picture. In that sense, each comes coupled with a story that can really only be told by those in front of or behind the camera—but these stories have been lost. Initially, I was fixated on knowing the true stories, but slowly it dawned on me that the importance of stories is not always in their literal truth, but rather in the truth that is reflected in our own lives within these stories. A really great story is simply one that holds a mirror up to our own reality.

The Artist-as-Intermediary: Musician Labour in the Digitally Networked Era
Authors: Kribs Kait
Published: November 2021

The advent of digital distribution platforms has removed middlemen from the musical supply chain — better known within the industry as the process of “disintermediation.” Often celebrated, disintermediation is understood to have lowered the barrier to entry into the music industry, following the sudden rise in access to marketplace and distribution platforms. However, this increased access to the means of distribution comes with increased responsibilities; musicians not only write, record and produce their own music, in the digital era, they are charged with the added responsibility of promoting, circulating and distributing their music. To understand this disruption, this essay presents the conceptual framework of the artist-as-intermediary. Suturing the artist to the intermediary, the artist-as- intermediary articulates the ways in which the responsibilities formerly held by music label executives — promoters, managers, A&R representatives ­— have not disappeared with disintermediation but have instead been downloaded onto the musician. To more fully illustrate this phenomenon, this essay proffers a brief case study of marketplace and distribution platform Bandcamp and indie musician Car Seat Headrest.
What Fighting Back Feels Like: Affect, Aesthetics, and Protest in 2012 Québec
Authors: Duncan Maija
Published: November 2021

This paper attempts to understand the relationship between aesthetics and politics, specifically as it pertains to the phenomenon of red square graffiti during the 2012 Québec Spring movement. e red square is an ideal example of affective responses to political art because it shows the tight interrelation of three concepts: politics, aesthetics, and affect. Affect theory argues that politics and aesthetics work together in a mutually reciprocal relationship to build and sustain affects of resistance. is is due to the nature of political art, in that this small graffiti intervenes in the public sphere in non-authorized ways which reveal a desire for politics outside of the sharply defined public sphere of electoral politics. The implication is of the need for openness to the affective force of politics and aesthetics, a fidelity to the potential of resistance.

On the Trail of Paediatric Liver Transplant in South Africa: Social Challenges to Equitable Distribution in Organ Transplantation
Authors: Sideris Tina C. , Fabian June
Published: November 2021

This paper tracks the journey of a family from a remote rural area in South Africa – a 2 year old child born with a life threatening liver disease, and his unemployed mother – who, by a series of contingencies, are sent on the trail of organ transplantation to land at the door of a private organ transplant centre. This case brings into focus the dilemmas that social factors present for equitable distribution of organ transplantation. The paper focuses on two interconnected issues: the link between socio-economic status and access to treatment, and existing practices of rationing. The uncritical conjunction of socio-economic status and organ transplantation disadvantages vulnerable sectors of the population. Yet, social circumstances impact the management of specialized medical treatment, which in itself imposes burdens on those with limited resources.  Similarly, although this paper poses questions about indiscriminate practices, it accepts the inevitable rationing of health care.
The Dove Club: Challenging Perceptions of Body Weight in Elementary School
Authors: Ioannoni Kelsey
Published: November 2021

This paper examines the creation of the Dove Club, an initiative at a Peel District Elementary School, by asking how the creation of the Dove Club is situated in a broader discussion of healthism and the increase in popular concern surrounding the alleged obesity epidemic. Reviewing the literature on the “obesity epidemic,” fat studies, and education, I highlight the impact of the “obesity epidemic” discourse on schools. In this paper, I analyze the mission statement of the Dove Club, and personal correspondence with a founding teacher. Using a social constructionist lens, I argue that the Dove Club reconstructs claims of health and healthy living by positioning teachers as key role models for young female students. Additionally, the Dove Club focuses on aspects of health, such as positive self-esteem, role modeling, and healthy living that are not intrinsically linked to weight. I interpret these actions as successful contributions to health by employing a Health At Every Size lens.
Who benefits from hospital birth? Perceptions of medicalised pregnancy and childbirth among Andean migrants in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia
Authors: KUBERSKA KAROLINA
Published: November 2021

This paper uses ethnographic data on reproductive experiences of indigenous Andean migrant women in the lowland eastern Bolivian city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra as a starting point for discussion of different perspectives on the efforts of the Bolivian state to biomedicalise the processes of pregnancy and childbirth. Pregnant women and babies up to six months of age are covered by the state-funded Universal Mother-Infant Insurance (SUMI) that favours the use of biomedical facilities over the services of traditional midwives that are not covered by the insurance. Unlike in the western Andean highlands of Bolivia, most women in Santa Cruz give birth in hospitals while actively negotiating their options. They are not motivated by strictly medical factors as social or economic circumstances also come into play. Simultaneously, the increased levels of hospital deliveries in Bolivia translate into decreased levels of maternal and perinatal mortality, which in turn help Bolivian statistics to fare better from the point of view of the government and international bodies, such as the WHO. However, the restrictions on qualifying for SUMI are such that women in Santa Cruz are often forced to meet the costs of medical services themselves. I argue that the initial socio-biomedical intention of SUMI has become obscured by its political impact. Keywords: biomedicalization; traditional medicine; migration; childbirth; Santa Cruz de la Sierra; indigenous peoples.
Narratives of resistance: (Re) Telling the story of the HIV/AIDS movement – Because the lives and legacies of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour communities depend on it

Published: November 2021

Centering the narratives of the intersectional struggles within the HIV movement for Indigenous sovereignty, Black and People of Colour liberation, and LGBTQ rights tirelessly fought for by Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour communities legitimates their lives and legacies within the movement; and the relevance of a focused response to the HIV epidemic that continues to wreak devastation in these communities. The recent political push for a post-HIV era solely centers the realities of middle-class white, gay men and has genocidal implications for Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour communities.Keywords: HIV/AIDS; Black, Indigenous and People of Colour communities; Social Movements; Narrative
Effect of Trailing-Edge Morphing on Flow Characteristics Around a Pitching Airfoil
Authors: Wu You , Dai Yuting , Yang Chao , Hu Yating , Huang Guangjing
Published: November 2021

This paper investigates suppressing the pitching oscillation of a NACA 0012 airfoil at a Reynolds number of [Formula: see text] by using phase-shifted trailing-edge morphing. The latter considering geometric nonlinearity is simulated numerically based on spatiotemporal polynomial surface fitting. Flowfield results and aerodynamic forces are obtained by solving the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations accompanied by a low-Reynolds-number modified-shear-stress transport model. Dynamic meshing combining a sliding mesh and Laplacian diffusion is developed to deal with the deformation of the computational grid due to the large-amplitude coupled pitching and morphing motion of the airfoil. The airfoil is subjected to stall-flutter analysis from an energy perspective by calculating the energy extracted by the airfoil from the freestream in an oscillation cycle. The flow control mechanism of the phase-offset trailing-edge morphing is analyzed in terms of the pressure distribution and moment contribution. The results suggest that trailing-edge motion with a phase of [Formula: see text] reduces the energy extraction by more than 300% and could be effective for suppressing the stall-flutter limit-cycle oscillation amplitude in specific ranges of amplitude and frequency.

Investigating the Role of Surface Depletion in Governing Electron Transfer Events in Colloidal Plasmonic Nanocrystals

Published: November 2021

Doped metal oxide nanocrystals (NCs) attract immense attention because of their ability to exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that can be tuned extensively across the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. LSPR tunability triggered through compositional and morphological changes during the synthesis (size, shape and doping percentage) is becoming well-established while the principles underlying dynamic, post-synthetic modulation of LSPR are not as well understood. Recent reports have suggested that the presence of a depletion layer on the NC surface may be instrumental in governing the LSPR modulation of doped metal oxide NCs. Here, we employ post-synthetic electron transfer to colloidal Sn-doped In2O3 NCs with varying size and Sn doping concentration to investigate the role of the depletion layer in LSPR modulation. By measuring the maximum change in LSPR frequency after NC reduction, we determine that a large initial volume fraction of the depletion layer in NCs results in a broad modulation of the LSPR energy and intensity. Utilizing a mathematical Drude fitting model, we track the changes in the electron density and the depletion layer volume fraction throughout the chemical doping process, offering fundamental insight into the intrinsic NC response resulting from such electron transfer events. We observe that the maximum change in electron density that can be induced through chemical doping is independent of Sn concentration, and subsequently, the maximum total electron density in the presence of excess reductant is independent of the NC diameter and is dependent only on the as-synthesized Sn doping concentration. This study establishes the central role that surface depletion plays in the electronic changes occurring in the NCs during post-synthetic doping and the results will be instrumental in advancing the understanding of optical and electrical properties of different colloidal plasmonic NCs.
Anti-ohmic Nanoconductors: Myth, Reality and Promise
Authors: Bajaj Ashima , Ali Md. Ehesan
Published: November 2021

The recent accomplishments in the design of molecular nanowires characterised by an increasing conductance with length has embarked the origin of extraordinary new family of molecular junctions referred to as "anti-ohmic" wires. Herein, this highly desirable, non-classical behavior, has been examined for the longer enough molecules exhibiting pronounced diradical character in their ground state within the unrestricted DFT formalism with spin and spatial symmetry breaking. We demonstrate that highly conjugated acenes signals higher resistance in open-shell singlet (OSS) configuration as compared to their closed-shell counterparts. This anomaly has been further put to proof for experimentally certified cumulene wires, which reveals phenomenal modulation in the transport characteristics such that an increasing conductance is observed in closed-shell limit, while higher cumulenes in OSS ground state yields a regular decay of conductance.
Interrogation of the Selectivity and Electrokinetics of CO2 Reduction by AgSn Films in the Presence of Protic Organic [DBU–H]+ Cations as judged by Impedance Spectroscopy and Distribution of Relaxation Times Analysis

Published: November 2021

The use of renewable electricity to synthesize high energy and high value chemicals via reduction of CO2 is an attractive strategy for renewable energy storage. Improving our understanding of how heterogeneous CO2 reduction electrocatalysts function is important to designing efficient systems for conversion of CO2 into commodity chemicals such as CO and HCO2H. Both Ag- and Sn-based materials have been previously considered as CO2 reduction catalysts and offer distinct CO2RR selectivities. In this work, we have considered electrodeposited composite film electrodes prepared from electroplating baths with varying ratios of Ag+ and Sn2+ triflates to understand how the performance of such composite materials varies as a function of composition. XPS analysis confirms that for each composite film electrodes, Ag existed in the metallic (Ag0) state, while the Sn was mainly oxidized (Sn2+/4+). The AgSn composite film electrodes studied herein are therefore best considered as AgSnOx cathodes with varying ratios of Ag0:Sn2+/4+. These systems were assessed as CO2RR electrocatalysts and were found to promote the 2e–/2H+ reductions to deliver CO and HCOOH with fast kinetics and high efficiencies from electrolyte solutions containing the protic organic cation [DBU–H]+. While Sn-rich composite films showed poor selectivities for CO versus HCO2H, a significant increase in CO versus HCO2H selectivity (up to 99%) is achieved for composite film electrodes in which the Ag content ranged from 25 - 75%. By tuning the ratio of Ag0 to SnOx we prepared composite film cathode materials that support quantitative current efficiencies for generation of CO with geometric current densities approaching 30 mA/cm2 at applied overpotentials that are less than 750 mV were realized. Additionally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) coupled with analysis of the distribution of relaxation times (DRT) was used to better understand factors important to the composites’ activity under CO2RR conditions. Probing the dynamics with DRT analysis revealed that multiple processes relating to both adsorption and diffusion-controlled events are important to the activity of the electrocatalysts considered in this work. The collection of electroanalytical investigations suggest that synergistic interactions between Ag and SnOx give rise to porous films that support enhanced CO2RR kinetics and that mixing of Ag with SnOx enhances the efficacy of adsorption and stabilization of reduced CO2 intermediates and [DBU–H]+ cations to facilitate CO evolution at the cathode/electrolyte interface.
Spectrally-selective Time-resolved Emission through Fourier-filtering (STEF)
Authors: Sica Anthony , Atallah Timothy , Caram Justin
Published: November 2021

In this manuscript we demonstrate that directing the emitted photon stream from a fluorescent sample through a fixed path-length imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer allows us to separate and resolve the dynamics of different emitters without the use of filtering optics. Our method, Spectrallyselective Time-resolved Emission through Fourier-filtering (STEF) takes advantage of a careful selection of interferometer position where one signal can be canceled (or enhanced) due to its unique spectral characteristics. STEF is straightforward to implement and provides a complementary approach to separate spectrally overlapped signals based on their coherence length and carrier frequency. We also discuss how one can implement STEF with an imperfect Mach-Zehnder interferometer, increasing the utility of this method, and demonstrate how Mach-Zehnder filtering can be used to image fluorophores in biologically relevant samples.
