Habitat Use of the Rocky Mountain Water Shrew in the White Mountains, Arizona
Authors: Frey Jennifer K. , Calkins Michael T. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
The population of Rocky Mountain water shrew Sorex navigator occurring in the White Mountains, Arizona, is isolated, genetically divergent, and of conservation concern. However, little is known about its distribution and habitat use due to difficulty capturing animals during previous surveys. The objectives of this study were to report captures of S. navigator that occurred during a survey for the New Mexico jumping mouse Zapus luteus luteus that expand its known distribution, evaluate habitat of capture sites, report natural history observations, and describe methods for capturing S. navigator. We captured 17 S. navigator at six sites, making this the most successful survey for this population. The records included two new sites and confirmation of the persistence of two historical populations considered extirpated. At the landscape scale, elevation was the best predictor of sites for capture of S. navigator. We captured Rocky Mountain water shrews on small cold-water streams and seeps on saturated soil with high vertical cover of herbaceous plants primarily consisting of sedges Carex. Sherman live traps were ideal for capturing S. navigator, if set appropriately. Given the population's restricted distribution, fragile habitat, and ongoing threats, conservation measures may be warranted.
Moisture sources and synoptic conditions of summer precipitation in the glacial zone of the East Sayan Range
Authors: Osipov Eduard Y. , Osipova Olga P. 
Published: March 2020

Abstract. Precipitation in high-mountain regions is characterized by a strong heterogeneity due to complex interaction between atmospheric circulation and steep topography, however, extremely rare network of high elevation stations hampers the adequate high resolution regional climate modeling. In this study we present new data of precipitation directly measured in high-mountain catchment, on the continental glacier (East Sayan Range, south of East Siberia) during the summer periods of 2015–2017 using automatic weather station. The precipitation record was compared with near
located weather stations and ERA Interim and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data.
Precipitation mode similar to the glacier site was found at the stations
located west and northwest, while ERA Interim and NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data
underestimated the precipitation by 40 % and 70 %, respectively. Atmospheric circulation patterns in days with precipitation were analyzed by using mean sea level pressure, geopotential height at 700 and 500 hPa and classification of macro scale atmospheric processes of the Northern
Hemisphere by Dzerdzeevskii. Summer precipitation was mostly associated with meridional southern group of large scale circulation the Northern Hemisphere, while at synoptic scale it basically fell in cyclonic (49 %
of precipitation) and low-gradient cyclonic (30 %) baric fields. Six
typical atmospheric circulation patterns over the East Sayan were identified for days with precipitation. The sources and atmospheric moisture transfer to the glacier was defined by using the HYSPLIT trajectory model. The most of summer precipitation (70 %) was related with western cyclones, while about 25 % of rainfalls (mainly of moderate to strong intensity) was originated from the south-east (Pacific monsoon influence).
Trinity College Dublin MS 347 and a Possible Source for Chaucer's Shipman's Tale, VII 11–19
Authors: Scattergood John 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
Though the narrative sources of Chaucer's Shipman's Tale are well enough recognized—in Boccaccio and perhaps Sercambi—the source for lines VII 11-19 has not been found. Here a wife complains that, because of her husband's perceived meanness, she may have to acquire money for “array” from another, which may be “perilous” and lead to a breaking of the marriage bond. It is suggested here that a quotation from an English song in Gilbertus Minorita's Distinctiones (in Trinity College Dublin MS 347) may provide evidence that there was a text, so far unidentified outside these snatches, which could have been used by Chaucer for the passage in the Shipman's Tale.
Race, Death, and Public Health in Early Philadelphia, 1750–1793
Authors: Marshall Jubilee 
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACT
The recent discovery of burial sites associated with Philadelphia's early black community has raised questions about their historical context. This article will situate Philadelphia's African American burials against the backdrop of public health in the 1700s. Public health concerns were omnipresent in Philadelphia as it developed and expanded, and its inhabitants sought to navigate the complex challenges that accompanied such growth. For the black residents of Philadelphia contending with these public health challenges, it was especially difficult given the added burden of their disempowerment in the institutional structure of the city. Thus, before the emergence of African American churches and their accompanying cemeteries in the 1790s, white burial grounds, including churchyards and public lots, functioned as an arena of racial contestation, where members of the black community sought to exercise power within the city. The Free African Society and Yellow Fever epidemic of the 1790s are also considered.

Background
Alcohol is a psychoactive substance with toxic and addictive properties. Biomarkers like GGT, AST, ALT and MCV are influenced by excessive ethanol consumption. Alcohol consumption represents a health risk and it has been linked to unemployment. The aim of this study how working status predict alcohol consumption through a cross sectional study comparing alcohol-related biomarkers levels in office workers and unemployed people.

Methods
This study includes 157 office workers and 157 unemployed people, who were recruited from January to December 2018. A propensity score matching procedure was applied to obtain two homogenous groups in terms of age and gender. A non-parametric analysis was performed on serum biomarkers that are generally altered by alcohol consumption. Logistic regression models were designed to evaluate how working status predict abnormal biomarker levels related with alcohol consumption.

Results
No differences in median biomarker values were found between groups. Logistic regression analysis showed that office work is a negative predictor of pathological biomarker levels. Office workers had a significant relation with the levels of GGT (OR 0.48; 95% CI [0.28–0.84]), AST (OR 0.42; 95% CI [0.22–0.78]), ALT (OR 0.39; 95% CI [0.23–0.66]), and MCV (OR 0.37; 95% CI [0.19–0.70]).

Conclusion
Office workers had lower absolute frequencies of pathological values of alcohol consumption biomarkers, after matching for age and gender compared with unemployed people. In addition, a significant negative association between office work is a negative predictor of biomarker levels of alcohol consumption. These results showed that work is an important determinant of health and that can represent a benefit for workers in terms of reducing the risk of consuming alcohol.

Published: March 2020

Starch was extracted from potato wastes and its peels to prepare bio-degradable films using glycerol and sorbitol at various concentrations of 35%, 45% and 55 (w/w) of dry starch. The properties of films prepared with modification techniques (hydrothermal treatment (HTT) and acid-alcohol treatment (AAT)) were analyzed. Biodegradability test was done by incubating with amylolytic bacteria (Bacillus lichneformis and Streptococcus bovis) for 24 hours and fungi (Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus stolonifer) for 72 hours. All microbial species were isolated from soil except S. bovis which was from calf stool and identified by conventional methods. The properties of modified starches were significantly different from non-treated starches. Tensile strength (10 N/m2) and elongation (9.47%) were significantly (p<0.05) superior in HTT starch films whereas solubility (25.8%) was superior in AAT starch films. Elongation (8.91%) and solubility (29.98%) were significantly (p<0.05) superior in 35% and 55% glycerol used films respectively but tensile strength (13.02 N/m2) was superior in 35% sorbitol used films. WVTR (999 g/m2/d) was higher at 91% RH in 55% glycerol used films. Micro-organisms used showed a significant effect (p<0.05) on biodegradation of starch based films. Highest degradation was observed by B. lichneformis i.e, 57.85% while A. niger had minimum of 25.13%. Films prepared with 35% glycerol was significantly (P<0.05) degraded by B. lichneformis i.e, 78.86%. Films prepared by using glycerol with acid alcohol treatment was significantly (P<0.05) degraded by S. bovis (55.57%). Although the starch of same variety of potato waste was not studied, results of the study suggest possibility of preparation of starch based bio degradable films potato waste and its peels by using glycerol and sorbitol.

AbstractThe isochroman scaffold constitutes an important structural unit, which is present in various bioactive natural products and synthetic pharmaceutical compounds exhibiting wide arrays of biological properties. Hence the synthesis of this class of heterocyclic compounds in a stereoselective fashion is highly significant and desirable. In the last decade, a substantial advancement has been witnessed ln the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of isochroman derivatives by employing metal catalysts bearing chiral ligands or by chiral metal‐free organocatalysts. This review aims to provide an overview of the transition metal‐catalyzed and organocatalyzed asymmetric syntheses of isochroman derivatives including isochromenes and isochromanones.magnified image

Published: March 2020

AbstractTo overcome the low energy density bottleneck of graphene‐based supercapacitors and to organically endow them with high‐power density, ultralong‐life cycles, etc., one rational strategy that couple graphene sheets with multielectron, redox‐reversible, and structurally‐stable organic compounds. Herein, a graphene‐indanthrone (IDT) donor–π–acceptor heterojunction is conceptualized for efficient and smooth 6H+/6e− transfers from pseudocapacitive IDT molecules to electrochemical double‐layer capacitive graphene scaffolds. To construct this, water‐processable graphene oxide (GO) is employed as a graphene precursor, and to in situ exfoliate IDT industrial dyestuff, followed by a hydrothermally‐induced reduction toward GO and self‐assembly between reduced GO (rGO) donors (D) and IDT acceptors (A), affording rGO‐π‐IDT D–A heterojunctions. Electrochemical tests indicate that rGO‐π‐IDT heterojunctions deliver a gravimetric capacitance of 535.5 F g−1 and an amplified volumetric capacitance of 685.4 F cm−3. The assembled flexible all‐solid‐state supercapacitor yields impressive volumetric energy densities of 31.3 and 25.1 W h L−1, respectively, at low and high power densities of 767 and 38 554 W L−1, while exhibiting an exceptional rate capability, cycling stability, and enduring mechanically‐challenging bending and distortions. The concept and methodology may open up opportunities for other two‐dimensional materials and other energy‐related devices.

Published: March 2020

AbstractMowat–Wilson syndrome (MWS) is characterized clinically by a distinctive facial gestalt, intellectual disability, microcephaly, epilepsy, and nonobligatory congenital malformations such as Hirschsprung disease, urogenital anomalies, congenital heart disease, eye malformations. This article summarized the clinical features and molecular findings of 15 Chinese MWS patients. The results revealed a higher incidence of congenital heart disease in Chinese MWS patients compared to that previously reported in Caucasian cohorts, while the incidence of Hirschsprung disease and genitourinary malformation appeared to be lower. This suggests possible ethnicity‐related modifying effects in the MWS phenotype.

AbstractIm Gegensatz zu einzelnen, auf Oxid‐Nanopartikeln deponierten katalytisch aktiven Metalllatomen erlaubt die kristalline Beschaffenheit metallorganischer Gerüstverbindungen (MOFs) eine genaue Charakterisierung der Reaktionsmechanismen. Ausgehend von zunächst defektfreien HKUST‐1‐MOF‐Dünnschichten zeigen wir, dass Cu+/Cu2+‐Dimerdefekte, die kontrolliert durch Reduktion der reinen Cu2+/Cu2+‐Paare des intakten Gerüsts erzeugt wurden, die hohe katalytische Aktivität für die Tieftemperatur‐CO‐Oxidation erklären. Mit Hilfe der In‐situ‐IR‐Spektroskopie und der Dichtefunktionaltheorie konnte der Reaktionsmechanismus identifiziert werden. Dabei ist das wichtigste Zwischenprodukt eine ungeladene, schwach an Cu+/Cu2+ gebundene O2‐Spezies. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen ein komplexes Zusammenwirken elektronischer und sterischer Effekte an Defekten in MOFs und liefern wichtige Richtlinien zur Einstellung und optimalen Nutzung der katalytischen Aktivität einzelner Metallatome.
A General Regioselective Synthesis of Alcohols by Cobalt‐Catalyzed Hydrogenation of Epoxides
Authors: Liu Weiping , Leischner Thomas , Li Wu , Junge Kathrin , Beller Matthias 
Published: March 2020

AbstractA straightforward methodology for the synthesis of anti‐Markovnikov‐type alcohols is presented. By using a specific cobalt triphos complex in the presence of Zn(OTf)2 as an additive, the hydrogenation of epoxides proceeds with high yields and selectivities. The described protocol shows a broad substrate scope, including multi‐substituted internal and terminal epoxides, as well as a good functional‐group tolerance. Various natural‐product derivatives, including steroids, terpenoids, and sesquiterpenoids, gave access to the corresponding alcohols in moderate‐to‐excellent yields.
An Efficient Near‐Infrared Emissive Artificial Supramolecular Light‐Harvesting System for Imaging in the Golgi Apparatus

Published: March 2020

AbstractLight‐harvesting systems are an important way for capturing, transferring and utilizing light energy. It remains a key challenge to develop highly efficient artificial light‐harvesting systems. Herein, we report a supramolecular co‐assembly based on lower‐rim dodecyl‐modified sulfonatocalix[4]arene (SC4AD) and naphthyl‐1,8‐diphenyl pyridinium derivative (NPS) as a light‐harvesting platform. NPS as a donor shows significant aggregation induced emission enhancement (AIEE) after assembling with SC4AD. Upon introduction of Nile blue (NiB) as an acceptor into the NPS‐SC4AD co‐assembly, the light‐harvesting system becomes near‐infrared (NIR) emissive (675 nm). Importantly, the NIR emitting NPS‐SC4AD‐NiB system exhibits an ultrahigh antenna effect (33.1) at a high donor/acceptor ratio (250:1). By co‐staining PC‐3 cells with a Golgi staining reagent, NBD C6‐ceramide, NIR imaging in the Golgi apparatus has been demonstrated using these NIR emissive nanoparticles.

Published: March 2020

AbstractFor degradation data in reliability analysis, estimation of the first‐passage time (FPT) distribution to a threshold provides valuable information on reliability characteristics. Recently, Balakrishnan and Qin (2019; Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, 35:571–590) studied a nonparametric method to approximate the FPT distribution of such degradation processes if the underlying process type is unknown. In this article, we propose some improved techniques based on saddlepoint approximation, which enhance those existing methods. Numerical examples and Monte Carlo simulation studies are used to illustrate the advantages of the proposed techniques. Limitations of the improved techniques are discussed and some possible solutions to such are proposed. Some concluding remarks and practical recommendations are provided based on the results.
Turnover of a Methane Oxidation Tricopper Cluster Catalyst: Implications for the Mechanism of the Particulate Methane Monooxygenase (pMMO)

Published: March 2020

AbstractThe CuICuICuI tricopper cluster complex is the only known catalyst capable of efficient methane oxidation near room temperature similar to the particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO). Here, we compare the turnover of the CuICuICuI tricopper catalyst with the biochemistry of the functional pMMO. Insights into the turnover of the biomimetic tricopper catalyst are derived from anaerobic electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and high‐resolution ESI‐MS (HR‐ESI‐MS). We follow activation of the tricopper cluster with O2/H2O2 by rapid‐freeze‐quench ESI‐MS, high‐resolution cold‐spray ionization mass spectrometry (HR‐CSI‐MS) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, capturing all the species participating in the activation and deactivation pathways of the turnover cycle. The reactivity of the activated tricopper complex toward alkane oxidation is essentially the same as the biochemistry reported earlier for pMMO from Methylococcus capsulatus (Bath).

Published: March 2020

AbstractReactor simulations can reduce the effort when designing fixed‐bed reactors for methanation processes. Several microkinetic models were developed under a variety of operating conditions. However, most production‐scale fixed‐bed methanation processes exceed the temperature range in which these kinetic models were obtained. In addition, heat and mass transport limitations strongly influence the reaction kinetics. In this work, microkinetic rate equations for CO and CO2methanation were analyzed with respect to their suitability for high‐temperature, pseudohomogeneous reactor modeling. The best‐suited kinetic model was fitted to the operating conditions and validated by means of CFD simulations. It is shown that the simulations match the experimental data for various operating conditions.
Detecting outlying variables in multigroup data: A comparison of different loading similarity coefficients
Authors: Gvaladze Sopiko , De Roover Kim , Tuerlinckx Francis , Ceulemans Eva 
Published: March 2020

AbstractMultivariate multigroup data are collected in many fields of science, where the so‐called groups pertain to, for instance, experimental groups or countries the participants are nested in. To summarize the main information in such data, principal component analysis (PCA) is highly popular. PCA reduces the variables to a few components that are linear combinations of the original variables. Researchers usually assume those components to be the same across the groups and aim to apply a simultaneous component analysis. To investigate whether this assumption is reasonable, one often analyzes the groups separately and computes a similarity index between the group‐specific component loadings of the variables. In many cases, however, most variables have highly similar loadings across the groups, but a few variables, which we will call “outlying variables,” behave differently, indicating that a simultaneous analysis is not warranted. In such cases, the outlying variables should be removed before proceeding with the simultaneous analysis. To do so, the variables are ranked according to their relative outlyingness. Although some procedures have been proposed that yield such an outlyingness ranking, they might not be optimal, because they all rely on the same choice of similarity coefficient without evaluating other alternatives. In this paper, we give an overview of other options and report extensive simulations in which we investigate how this choice affects the correctness of the outlyingness ranking. We also illustrate the added value of the outlying variable approach by means of sensometric data on different bread samples.
