Temporal and Petrogenetic Links Between Mesoproterozoic Alkaline and Carbonatite Magmas at Mountain Pass, California
Authors: Watts Kathryn E. , Haxel Gordon B. , Miller David M. 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
Mountain Pass is the site of the most economically important rare earth element (REE) deposit in the United States. Mesoproterozoic alkaline intrusions are spatiotemporally associated with a composite carbonatite stock that hosts REE ore. Understanding the genesis of the alkaline and carbonatite magmas is an essential scientific goal for a society in which critical minerals are in high demand and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. We present an ion microprobe study of zircon crystals in shonkinite and syenite intrusions to establish geochronological and geochemical constraints on the igneous underpinnings of the Mountain Pass REE deposit. Silicate whole-rock compositions occupy a broad spectrum (50–72 wt % SiO2), are ultrapotassic (6–9 wt % K2O; K2O/Na2O = 2–9), and have highly elevated concentrations of REEs (La 500–1,100× chondritic). Zircon concordia 206Pb/238U-207Pb/235U ages determined for shonkinite and syenite units are 1409 ± 8, 1409 ± 12, 1410 ± 8, and 1415 ± 6 Ma (2σ). Most shonkinite dikes are dominated by inherited Paleoproterozoic xenocrysts, but there are sparse primary zircons with 207Pb/206Pb ages of 1390–1380 ± 15 Ma for the youngest grains. Our new zircon U-Pb ages for shonkinite and syenite units overlap published monazite Th-Pb ages for the carbonatite orebody and a smaller carbonatite dike. Inherited zircons in shonkinite and syenite units are ubiquitous and have a multimodal distribution of 207Pb/206Pb ages that cluster in the range of 1785–1600 ± 10–30 Ma. Primary zircons have generally lower Hf (&lt;11,000 ppm) and higher Eu/Eu* (&gt;0.6), Th (&gt;300 ppm), Th/U (&gt;1), and Ti-in-zircon temperatures (&gt;800°C) than inherited zircons. Oxygen isotope data reveals a large range in δ18O values for primary zircons, from mantle (5–5.5‰) to crustal and supracrustal (7–9‰). A couple of low-δ18O outliers (2‰) point to a component of shallow crust altered by meteoric water. The δ18O range of inherited zircons (5–10‰) overlaps that of the primary zircons. Our study supports a model in which alkaline and carbonatite magmatism occurred over tens of millions of years, repeatedly tapping a metasomatized mantle source, which endowed magmas with elevated REEs and other diagnostic components (e.g., F, Ba). Though this metasomatized mantle region existed for the duration of Mountain Pass magmatism, it probably did not predate magmatism by substantial geologic time (&gt;100 m.y.), based on the similarity of 1500 Ma zircons with the dominantly 1800–1600 Ma inherited zircons, as opposed to the 1450–1350 Ma primary zircons. Mountain Pass magmas had diverse crustal inputs from assimilation of Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic igneous, metaigneous, and metasedimentary rocks. Crustal assimilation is only apparent from high spatial resolution zircon analyses and underscores the need for mineral-scale approaches in understanding the genesis of the Mountain Pass system.

In this investigation, we examined the chemical composition, physicochemical properties, and organic matter of therapeutic mud from Lake Noot in the Arkhangai province of Mongolia. The therapeutic mud from “Lake Noot” is used in the pelotherapy of local health care services for some time but without deep characterization. Due to this, a study of therapeutic mud samples was required. Our research concentrated on identifying general characteristics, organic matter, mineralogical, and chemical composition of therapeutic mud at two different Lake Noot sites. Results showed that the therapeutic mud belongs to the continental hydrogen sulfide sticky mud type. The total organic matter in the therapeutic mud of Lake Noot was 14.44%. Total organic matter contains a humic substance of 42.17%, lipid 16.62%, and carbohydrate 7.13%. A total of 172 compounds were identified in the dissoluble organic matter of therapeutic mud, mainly of natural origin, using the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method. The dominant compounds were saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons with 13–44 carbon atoms and carboxylic acids and their ethers. Some of the identified organic compounds have been reported antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.

Published: July 2021

This study investigates the contribution of conventional banking and Islamic banking to economic growth in Malaysia. Return on assets, return on equity representing the profitability, total deposit, representing bank development, and several indicators such as total government expenditure, trade openness, and gross fixed capital formation were independent variables. In contrast, the dependent variable was GDP per capita. The study utilised secondary data collected from the Fitch Connect database and Datastream database. This study used a sample of 10 Islamic banking and 10 Conventional banking. The study found that the Islamic banking system variable can influence Malaysia's economic growth. ROA and Ltdep are found significant and have positive effect to economic growth, but ROE has adverse effects. On the other hand, the results show that ROA in Conventional bank does not have a relationship with economic growth. However, other banking indicators such as ROE and total deposit are significant to economic growth. Based on the ROE results, ROE Islamic bank contributes more to economic growth than Conventional bank because the percentage that contributes to the decreases of economic growth for Islamic banks is lesser than Conventional bank. The results also showed that Islamic banking provides an efficient channel for productive resources and monitors the use of the funds by the participation of business ventures, leading to bank profitability and then economic growth. This study also stressed on total deposit indicator as a proxy to bank development. This study found that total deposit for the both banking system is significant to economic growth. However, the contribution of banking development in conventional banking is much better than by Islamic banking. However, the gap of differences is too small, which shows that Islamic deposits can cope with conventional deposits.
Using spatial distance sampling models to optimize survey effort and address violations of the design assumption
Authors: Schmidt Joshua H. , Deacy William W. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractConventional distance sampling approaches rely on the design assumption (i.e. uniform distribution of individuals in relation to transects) to ensure unbiased inference to the population of interest. However, randomized design recommendations are not always followed or may be impractical to implement for some survey types, particularly in cases where transects must be placed perpendicular to the habitat gradient. Full‐likelihood spatial distance sampling models provide a potential solution to violations of the design assumption by jointly modelling the detection and occurrence processes using spatially indexed habitat covariates.Through simulation and an applied example based on a survey for Dall's sheep in Alaska, USA, we used a full‐likelihood distance sampling approach to investigate the potential for bias in cases where transects placed perpendicular to the habitat gradient (e.g. elevational contours) are non‐randomly sampled. We also assessed the utility of spatial approaches in cases where transects are placed along linear features, such as roads or ridgelines, where habitat may be unrepresentative of the overall study area.Our results showed that the full‐likelihood approach was generally unbiased, even in extreme scenarios where habitat was inversely related to distance from the transect. For the Dall's sheep example, our results showed that more efficient designs with reduced sampling effort in low‐quality habitats are a practical solution for reducing logistical costs when the data are analysed in a spatial modelling framework.Together, our findings confirm and extend existing work suggesting that spatial distance sampling can be a useful solution when non‐random designs are employed. Given the high cost of survey implementation in many cases, the development of valid alternatives to design‐based inference will aid in the amount of information available for a variety of species. The results of our work will be useful for practitioners in assessing alternative designs relative to particular survey applications.
Technical note: On the impact of the kV imaging configuration on doses from planar images during motion‐synchronized treatments on Radixact®

Published: July 2021

AbstractKilovoltage radiographs are acquired during motion‐synchronized treatments on Radixact to localize the tumor during the treatment. Several previous publications have provided estimates of patient dose from these planar radiographs. However, a recent hardware update changed several aspects of the kV imaging system, including a new X‐ray tube, an extended source‐to‐axis distance (SAD), and a larger field size. This is denoted the extended configuration. The purpose of this work was to assess the impact of the configuration change on patient dose from these procedures. Point doses in water were measured using the TG‐61 protocol for tube potentials between 100 and 140 kVp for both the standard and extended configurations under the same water tank setup. Comparisons were made for equal mAs since the same protocols (kVp, mAs) will be used for both configurations. In comparison to the standard configuration, doses per mAs from the extended configuration were found to be ~66% less and falloff less steep due to the increased SAD. However, a larger volume of tissue is irradiated due to the larger field size. Beam quality for a given tube potential was the same as determined by half‐value layer measurements. Both kV configurations are available from the vendor, therefore, the values in this work can be used to compare values previously published in the literature for the standard configuration or to intercompare doses from these two system configurations.

ObjectiveEfficiently identifying eligible patients is a crucial first step for a successful clinical trial. The objective of this study was to test whether an approach using electronic health record (EHR) data and an ensemble machine learning algorithm incorporating billing codes and data from clinical notes processed by natural language processing (NLP) can improve the efficiency of eligibility screening.MethodsWe studied patients screened for a clinical trial of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with one or more International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code for RA and age greater than 35 years, from a tertiary care center and a community hospital. The following three groups of EHR features were considered for the algorithm: 1) structured features, 2) the counts of NLP concepts from notes, 3) health care utilization. All features were linked to dates. We applied random forest and logistic regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator penalty against the following two standard approaches: 1) one or more RA ICD code and no ICD codes related to exclusion criteria (ScreenRAICD1+EX) and 2) two or more RA ICD codes (ScreenRAICD2). To test the portability, we trained the algorithm at one institution and tested it at the other.ResultsIn total, 3359 patients at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) and 642 patients at Faulkner Hospital (FH) were studied, with 461 (13.7%) eligible patients at BWH and 84 (13.4%) at FH. The application of the algorithm reduced ineligible patients from chart review by 40.5% at the tertiary care center and by 57.0% at the community hospital. In contrast, ScreenRAICD2 reduced patients for chart review by 2.7% to 11.3%; ScreenRAICD1+EX reduced patients for chart review by 63% to 65% but excluded 22% to 27% of eligible patients.ConclusionThe ensemble machine learning algorithm incorporating billing codes and NLP data increased the efficiency of eligibility screening by reducing the number of patients requiring chart review while not excluding eligible patients. Moreover, this approach can be trained at one institution and applied at another for multicenter clinical trials.

AbstractHerein, a strategic approach to enhance the sensitivity of ammonia gas detection using organic semiconductors by boosting the efficiency of ammonia gas‐induced stable radical anion formation (SRAF) is reported. This is achieved through rational molecular design and engineering of field‐effect transistors (FETs). New rylene diimide derivatives are designed and used to prepare molecular templates for efficient SRAF in thin films, and they are applied as gas‐adsorbing active layers in FETs. Substituting linear‐shaped perfluoroalkyl (PF) groups to π‐electron‐deficient naphthalene diimide (NDI) backbone enhances the ammonia gas detection limit to 200 ppb, attributed to the strong electron‐withdrawing capability and low steric hindrance of PF groups. Replacing the core backbone (NDI) with perylene diimide (PDI) while retaining the PF group further enhances gas‐responsivity up to 18.17 (1700% increase in current) due to the enlarged π‐conjugated bridge area. Computational characterization further supports that high electron affinity of the PDI‐PF molecules and a larger gas‐adsorption area in the PDI core result in the exceptional ammonia gas sensitivity. In addition, beneficial molecular orientation and nanopore formation of PDI‐PF facilitate gas adsorption, resulting in remarkably enhanced gas‐responsivity. The results indicate that molecular engineering for high‐efficiency SRAF suggests a new strategy for developing high‐sensitivity ammonia sensing platforms.

AbstractAs emerging therapeutic factors, extracellular vesicles (EVs) offer significant potential for myocardial infarction (MI) treatment. Current delivery approaches for EVs involve either intra‐myocardial or intravenous injection, where both have inherent limitations for downstream clinical applications such as secondary tissue injury and low delivery efficiency. Herein, an injection‐free approach for delivering EVs onto the heart surface to treat MI is proposed. By spraying a mixture of EVs, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) precursors, and photoinitiators followed by visible light irradiation for 30 s, EVs are physically entrapped within the GelMA hydrogel network covering the surface of the heart, resulting in an enhanced retention rate. Moreover, EVs are gradually released from the hydrogel network through a combination of diffusion and/or enzymatic degradation of the hydrogel, and they are effectively taken up by the sprayed tissue area. More importantly, the released EVs further migrate deep into myocardium tissue, which exerts an improved therapeutic effect. In an MI‐induced mice model, the group treated with EVs‐laden GelMA hydrogels shows significant recovery in cardiac function after 4 weeks. The work demonstrates a new strategy for delivering EVs into cardiac tissues for MI treatment in a localized manner with high retention.

AbstractCritical limb ischemia (CLI) is the most severe clinical manifestation of peripheral arterial disease, which causes many amputations and deaths. Conventional treatment strategies for CLI (e.g., stent implantation and vascular surgery) bring surgical risk, which are not suitable for each patient. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be a potential solution for CLI. Herein, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; i.e., a crucial molecule related to angiogenesis) and transcription factor EB (TFEB; i.e., a pivotal regulator of autophagy) are chosen as the target gene to improve the bioactivity of EVs derived from endothelial cells. The VEGF/TFEB‐engineered EVs (Engineered‐EVs) are fabricated by genetically engineering the parent cells, and their versatile functions are confirmed using three cell models (human umbilical vein endothelial cells, myoblast, and monocytes). Injectable thermal‐responsive hydrogel are then combined with Engineered‐EVs to combat CLI. These results reveal that the hydrogel can enhance the stability of Engineered‐EVs in vivo and release EVs at different temperatures. Moreover, the results of animal studies indicate that Engineered‐EV/Hydrogel can significantly improve neovascularization, attenuate muscle injury, and recover limb function after CLI. Finally, mechanistic studies shed light on the therapeutic effect of Engineered‐EV/Hydrogel due to the activated VEGF/VEGFR pathway and autophagy‐lysosomal pathway.

Published: July 2021

AbstractFunctional textiles with advanced moisture management can enhance human comfort and physiological health. However, conventional wet finishing processes used for textiles are usually highly polluting and exhibit poor fastness. Inspired by the strong underwater adhesion properties of mussels based on cation–π interaction, a novel superhydrophilic polymeric molecule with strong cohesion and adhesion property is designed on a poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric. The cation–π hydrophilic agent (CPHA) can efficiently transform the hydrophobic PET fabric to a superhydrophilic one, and its superhydrophilicity can withstand 150 home laundry cycles. In addition, the cationic moieties in the CPHA self‐adhere to the PET fabric without any finishing auxiliary that would cause pollution. Due to its strong adhesion, CPHA can be applied to one side of the PET fabric via spray coating and curing to form a Janus hydrophobic/superhydrophilic fabric capable of diode‐like one‐way sweat transportation (with forward transportation capability of 1115% and backward transportation capability of −1509%). Moreover, the Janus fabric inhibits bacterial growth and invasion, while simultaneously preserving the inner ecological healthy balance of the skin's microflora. This work opens up a pathway to develop adhesives in textile wet processing for more diverse, smarter applications, e.g., quick‐dry sportswear, protective suits, or air‐conditioning fabrics.
