nightshift: A Python program for plotting simulated NMR spectra from assigned chemical shifts from the Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank
Authors: Fucci Ian J. , Byrd R. Andrew 
Published: September 2021

AbstractNuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) provides site specific information on local environments through chemical shifts. NMR is widely used in the study of proteins, ranging from determination of three‐dimensional (3D) structures to characterizing dynamics and binding of small molecules and other proteins or ligands. Assigned chemical shift data for the atoms within proteins is a treasure trove of information that can facilitate a broad range of biochemical and biophysical studies. The Biological Magnetic Resonance Data Bank (BMRB) is a publicly accessible database that contains a large number of assigned chemical shifts; however, translating this wealth of knowledge into a practical application is not straightforward. Herein we present nightshift: a Python command line utility and library for plotting simulated two‐dimensional (2D) and 3D NMR spectra from assigned chemical shifts in the BMRB. This tool allows users to simulate routinely collected amide and methyl fingerprint spectra, backbone triple‐resonance assignment spectra, and user‐defined custom correlations, including ones that do not necessarily correspond to published experiments. This tool enables experienced NMR spectroscopists, those learning the craft, and interested scientists seeking to utilize NMR the ability to preview or examine a wide range of spectra for proteins whose assignments are deposited in the BMRB, irrespective of whether those experiments have been executed or reported. The tool applies equally to folded and intrinsically disordered proteins, limited only by the existence of a BMRB deposition. The features of nightshift are described along with applications that illustrate the ease with which complicated correlation spectra and binding events can be simulated.

AbstractBackgroundProstate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in poorly differentiated, metastatic, and castration‐resistant prostate cancers. Recently, 68Ga‐PSMA positron emission tomography/computed tomography has been successfully developed as an effective diagnostic tool for prostate cancer. However, the pathophysiological functions of PSMA in prostate tumors remain unclear.MethodsWe examined the protein expression of PSMA in tumor endothelial cells in human prostate tumors by immunohistochemistry. Prostate cancer tissues were resected by robotic surgery in 2019 at Ehime University from patients with prostate cancer. In vitro, we prepared conditioned medium (CM) derived from a PSMA‐positive human prostate cancer cell line, LNCaP, cultured on collagen I gels. We then examined PSMA expression in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) cultured with the CM. We assessed angiogenic activities by treatment of HUVECs with LNCaP‐derived CM using a tube formation assay that mimics angiogenesis.ResultsImmunohistochemistry of PSMA and CD31, a marker of endothelial cells, and PSMA‐expressing tumor endothelial cells were observed in 4 of 33 prostate cancer patients (12.1%). We also found that the 10,000g pellet fraction of the LNCaP‐derived CM containing PSMA‐positive membranes, such as microvesicles transformed HUVECs “PSMA‐negative” into “PSMA‐positive.” Furthermore, treatment of HUVECs with the 10,000g pellet fraction of the LNCaP‐derived CM significantly promoted tube formation, mimicking angiogenesis in a PSMA‐dependent manner.ConclusionsOur findings revealed the existence of PSMA‐positive tumor endothelial cells in human prostate tumors, which enhances tumor angiogenesis in prostate cancer tissues.
Trust and confidence in authorities, responsibility attribution, and natural hazards risk perception
Authors: Han Ziqiang , Liu Jie , Wu Wei‐Ning 
Published: September 2021

AbstractRisk perception varies across contexts like different risk agents and cultures. The roles of trust, confidence in authorities, and responsibility attribution in natural hazards risk perception are understudied. In this paper, the correlations between trust in authorities, confidence in authorities, responsibility attribution, and natural hazards (typhoon and earthquake) risk perception are explored using an updated representative data set from Taiwan (the 2013 and 2019 Taiwan Social Change Survey). The perceived probability, perceived controllability, and degree of worriment were used as the three dimensions of risk perception in the 2013 survey, while only the worrisome dimension was included in the 2019 survey. The results of Ordered Logit Models demonstrate that trust in authorities and confidence in authorities’ disaster response are only negatively associated with the perceived consequence of typhoons, not the probability or worrisome dimensions. The responsibility attribution and risk perception's correlations are only significant for the perceived probability of an earthquake. On the contrary, variables like disaster experience, family income, and educational attainment have more consistent effects, either in 2013 or 2019. This paper highlights the importance of the risk perception measurements and contexts of hazards in investigating the roles of trust, confidence, and responsibility attribution in natural hazards scenarios.
Preparation of an Excellent Z‐type SrWO4@Bi2WO6 Heterojunction Photocatalyst and Its Photocatalytic Performance under Simulated Sunlight
Authors: Guo Bobo , Gu Yufen 
Published: September 2021

AbstractIn this work, a simple chemical co‐precipitation method was employed to prepare a series of excellent Z‐type SrWO4@Bi2WO6 (SWO@BWO) heterojunction composites, in which SrWO4 was successfully assembled on Bi2WO6 nanosheets. The outstanding separation efficiency of photo‐generated carriers (e−/h+) originated from synergetic effect of semiconductor heterojunctions under simulated sunlight effectively improved photocatalytic activity, resulting in a more prominent performance for organic dyestuff degradation compared with its counterparts. Based on the photocatalytic degradation of Methylene blue (MB) experiment, coming to a conclusion is that 10wt %SWO@BWO composite (η=92.9 % for 50 min) has the prominent photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic performance of 10wt %SWO@BWO composite is 6.36 and 2.6 times as high as that of bare SWO and BWO, respectively. This composite also has better degradation performance for Tetracycline Hydrochloride (TC) and Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA). According to the active species capture experiment, .OH are dominant in the degradation process of MB, and role of h+ and .O2− is also indispensable. Our research provides a simple approach for establishing Z‐scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with great photocatalytic performance.

Published: September 2021

AbstractSilver phosphate (Ag3PO4) has been proved to be an excellent visible light catalyst. It also has a certain specific capacity, but if used as a supercapacitor anode material, its specific capacitance still needs to be further improved. To increase the specific capacity of Ag3PO4, a facile method is to dope it with nitrogen. In this work, the nitrogen‐doped Ag3PO4 material (N‐Ag3PO4) was synthesized via the reaction of AgNO3 with Na2HPO4 ⋅ 12H2O in the presence of urea at 80 °C by means of liquid precipitation. Electrochemical analyses of the as‐synthesized N‐Ag3PO4 composites were carried out in a three‐electrode geometry system. Results revealed that the doping of nitrogen could significantly improve the specific capacity of Ag3PO4. The highest specific capacity of 1314.9 F g−1, which is more than twice that of the pure Ag3PO4 specimen (656.1 F g−1), was obtained at the current density of 1 A g−1. At a higher current density of 10 A g−1, it possess a specific capacity of 716.6 F g−1, showing an excellent charge/discharge performance, which could be attributed to the smaller particle size and the lower charge transfer resistance (0.41 Ω cm−2) of synthesized N‐Ag3PO4 composites. These results suggest that the as‐prepared N‐Ag3PO4 composite has great promise as a super capacitor energy storage material.
Tuning of Selectivity for Sustainable Production of Acrolein from Glycerol
Authors: Belousov Artem S. 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe catalytic dehydration of glycerol into acrolein is a rapidly growing area of both scientific interest and technological importance. The main problem faced by researchers is enhancement of selectivity while maintaining the stability and activity of a catalyst. This minireview is centered on key approaches for tuning of selectivity: changing of physicochemical properties (type of acid sites, its amount, pore and channel size, and doping with noble metals) and selection of optimal reaction conditions (temperature, contact time, feedstock composition, co‐feeding O2 or air). This overview also proposes and discusses the use of metal‐organic frameworks as novel catalysts to overcome the main challenges in the dehydration of glycerol.
Drone Nest Searching Applications Using a Thermal Camera

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACTUnmanned aerial systems (UASs), or drones, are increasingly being used for field sampling in wildlife research. However, to date there have been few studies using drones in avian nest searching, and none where a fixed survey methodology has been applied across multiple habitats spanning a large geographic region to locate avian nests. We tested nest searching using drone‐based thermal imagery for a variety of game (Anseriformes, Galliformes), and nongame bird species (Passerines and Charadriids) at sites located in the Dakotas, North Carolina, and Alberta. We used a manual, point‐transect survey method for all study sites in habitats ranging from marine‐coastal marshlands to upland grasslands. We found that 77–100% of known nests can be detected based on thermal signatures in multiple habitat types and across an array of different avian species. However, detectability varies with a variety of site, weather, atmospheric conditions, and the effectiveness of the method is impeded by a high false positive rate (60–95%). There are several identified challenges to be addressed for future thermal drone research, and our study provides observations and advice for planning studies. Drone technology has the potential for field applications by wildlife managers and conservationists, and as it matures will enhance the field practitioner's toolset. © 2021 The Wildlife Society.
Ovariectomy As a Management Technique for Suburban Deer Populations
Authors: DENICOLA ANTHONY J. , DENICOLA VICKIE L. 
Published: September 2021

ABSTRACTOverabundant suburban deer (Odocoileus spp.) are a source of human‐wildlife conflict in many communities throughout the United States. Deer‐vehicle collisions, impacts to local vegetation, tick‐borne pathogens, and other negative interactions are typical reasons cited for initiating deer management programs. Social attitudes, legal constraints, and perceived safety concerns lead many communities to examine nonlethal management options. Surgical sterilization is currently the only nonlethal method available to permanently sterilize females with a single treatment. However, there are limited data demonstrating methods and outcomes in management programs that sterilize a high percentage (>90%) of local populations of females, particularly regarding the impact of immigration on non‐isolated populations. We present data from 6 surgical sterilization sites with geographically open populations in California, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Virginia, USA. From 2012 to 2020 we sterilized 493 deer, primarily via ovariectomy, and conducted annual or periodic population estimates using camera surveys, road‐based distance sampling, and intensive field observations to assess population trends. Study sites ranged from 1.2 km2 to 16.5 km2 with ~47–169 individuals, resulting in approximate densities of 6–63 deer/km2. For all sites we noted an average reduction of ~26% (17%–36%) from Year 1 to Year 2. Four years after initial treatment, we documented an average population reduction of ~45% (29%–56%). During the first year, the average cost per deer sterilized at locations where bait was used was US$1,185 ($927–$1,572). Surgical sterilization projects demonstrate that significant reductions in local deer densities using high‐percentage, surgical sterilization programs can be achieved in non‐insular locations, where baited deer are approachable by vehicle for darting. Sustained sterilization efforts may be necessary, as is the case with all deer management programs, in areas where immigration is possible, and all the animals are not sterilized. © 2021 The Wildlife Society.

Einleitung

Published: September 2021

ZusammenfassungWozu gibt es Werkstatträte in Werkstätten für behinderte Menschen (WfbM)? Wie charakterisieren sich die dortigen Arbeitsbeziehungen? Wie arbeiten Werkstatträte und gelingt es ihnen, ihre Rechte zu mobilisieren? Kann sich in einem separierenden System Partizipation vollziehen und ist es gerechtfertigt, den Beteiligungsanspruch in WfbM bzw. dessen Einlösung als Partizipation zu bezeichnen? Fragen wie diese gaben den Impuls dazu, die Thematik der Werkstatträte in dieser Arbeit aufzugreifen. Nach Artikel 27 Abs. 1 UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention (UN-BRK) ist eine gleichberechtigte Erwerbsarbeit von Menschen mit Behinderungen in einem „integrativen“ Umfeld normativ intendiert. Gleichwohl vollzieht sich in Deutschland die berufliche Realität für derzeit rund 300.000 Personen mit Behinderungen in WfbM (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft WfbM e. V. [BAG WfbM], 2020a).

ZusammenfassungAls Modus der Beteiligung ist Partizipation ein „Kernelement demokratischer Systeme“ (Alcántara, Bach, Kuhn & Ullrich, 2016, S. 1) und in den verschiedensten Zusammenhängen anzutreffen. Neben dem politischen System (ebd.) findet sich der Begriff als „Argumentationsfigur“ (Pluto, 2007, S. 25) im schulischen Bereich (Palentien & Hurrelmann, 2003), in der Arbeitswelt (siehe Abschnitt 1.2) und vielen Bereichen mehr (Schnurr, 2011, S. 1069). Auch das „Engagement von Werkstatträten“ (Schlummer, 2015) bzw. deren Beteiligung (Cannizzaro, Hartmann & Olivia, 2020; Berg, 2020) oder die „Subjektperspektive“ der Werkstattratsmitglieder (Nieß, 2016) werden unter dem Slogan von Partizipation verhandelt.

Lower Vibrio spp. abundances in Zostera marina leaf canopies suggest a novel ecosystem function for temperate seagrass beds

Published: September 2021

AbstractSeagrasses, a polyphyletic group of about 60 marine angiosperm species, are the foundation of diverse and functionally important marine habitats along sheltered sedimentary coasts. As a novel ecological function with high societal relevance, a role of the seagrass leaf canopy for reducing potentially harmful bacteria has recently been hypothesized in tropical regions, but data for temperate regions are lacking. Here, we tested whether or not the abundance of general bacteria and more specifically, those belonging to the genus Vibrio were reduced within temperate Zostera marina (eelgrass) meadows compared to adjacent sand flats and sampled 5 sites in the south-western Baltic Sea using SCUBA. Compared to non-vegetated area, we found an average reduction of 39% for all Vibrio and 63% for the potentially harmful V. vulnificus/cholerae subtype based on robust plate counting data on Vibrio selective agar. The underlying mechanism of the reduction in bacterial load is currently elusive and clearly merits further study. Our results underline the critical importance of seagrasses in maintaining shallow water ecosystem functioning including water quality and provide further motivation for their protection and restoration.

AbstractInsight into illness in schizophrenia (SZ) patients has a major impact on treatment adherence and outcome. Previous studies have linked distinct deviations of brain structure to illness insight, specifically in frontoparietal and subcortical regions. Some of these abnormalities are thought to reflect aberrant cortical development. In this study, we used cross-sectional data to examine associations between illness insight and two cortical surface markers that are known to follow distinct neurodevelopmental trajectories, i.e. cortical gyrification (CG) and thickness (CT). CG and CT was investigated in SZ patients (n = 82) and healthy controls (HC, n = 48) using 3 T structural magnetic resonance imaging. Illness insight in SZ patients was measured using the OSSTI scale, an instrument that provides information on two distinct dimensions of illness insight, i.e. treatment adherence (OSSTI-A) and identification of disease-related symptoms (OSSTI-I). CT and CG were computed using the Computational Anatomy Toolbox (CAT12). Whole-brain and regions-of-interest (ROI)-based analyses were performed. SZ patients showed higher CG in anterior cingulate, superior frontal and temporal gyrus and reduced CG in insular and superior frontal cortex when compared to HC. SZ patients showed decreased CT in pre- and paracentral, occipital, cingulate, frontoparietal and temporal regions. Illness insight in SZ patients was significantly associated with both CG and CT in the left inferior parietal lobule (OSSTI-A) and the right precentral gyrus (CG/OSSTI-A, CT/OSSTI-I). The data support a multi-parametric neuronal model with both pre- and postnatal brain developmental factors having an impact on illness insight in patients with SZ.
