DECONSTRUCTING TAPHONOMY TO RECONSTRUCT THE MORPHOLOGY AND LIFE HABIT OF ATTENBORITES JANEAE AT NILPENA EDIACARA NATIONAL PARK
Authors: Mccandless Heather K. , Droser Mary L. 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Attenborites janeae is a soft-bodied, enigmatic member of the Ediacara Biota with variable internal and external morphology. This taxon is only found within the Ediacara Member of South Australia at Nilpena Ediacara National Park. It occurs rarely across this site but over 100 specimens occur on a single bedding plane, TB-ARB. Previous research has suggested that fossils of Attenborites represent a taphonomically altered form of the true organism which may have been pelagic. Here we use a combination of morphologic and taphonomic methods to reconstruct the most likely morphology and life habit of Attenborites janeae. Evaluating the characteristics of each fossil and the broader bed population, we find that the variable morphology among Attenborites specimens is a product of biostratinomic collapse and that these fossils represent the deflated form of living organisms that were most likely globose and radially symmetrical. We employ the 3D modeling software Blender to conduct inflation simulations on laser-scanned meshes of each fossil to reconstruct the original morphology. To determine the most likely life habit of Attenborites, we examine the broader sedimentological and preservational context of the taxon. We find a pelagic life habit most parsimonious, consistent with the original hypothesis and the reconstructed morphology, rendering Attenborites the only Ediacara taxon to be supported as pelagic based on both taphonomic and morphological evidence.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Urban stormwater drainage alters stream flow regimes. Even small rainfall events produce higher quickflow volumes and peak flows from catchments drained using traditional stormwater management, degrading stream ecosystems. Stormwater Control Measures (SCMs) aim to mitigate such impacts. However, the cumulative effect of SCMs across a catchment on stream flow regimes has been little studied. We assessed the storm-event-quickflow volume and peak-flow response to dispersed SCMs retrofitted into existing urban catchments of 5 sites on 2 streams over 8 years, and over the same period in 3 reference and 2 control streams. Results showed that the implementation of SCMs reduced quickflow volume and peak flow at the storm-event scale. The effect was greatest for small-to-moderate storm events (2–8 mm), reflecting the finite runoff retention capacity of the implemented SCMs. This is the first catchment-scale study to demonstrate such effects for the retrofit of SCMs into urban catchments, and thus increases confidence that such investments will reduce flow-induced degradation of urban streams.
Increased distribution of carbon metabolic flux during de novo cytidine biosynthesis via attenuation of the acetic acid metabolism pathway in Escherichia coli

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Acetic acid, a by-product of cytidine synthesis, competes for carbon flux from central metabolism, which may be directed either to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle for cytidine synthesis or to overflow metabolites, such as acetic acid. In Escherichia coli, the acetic acid synthesis pathway, regulated by the poxB and pta genes, facilitates carbon consumption during cytidine production. To mitigate carbon source loss, the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technique was employed to knock out the poxB and pta genes in E. coli, generating the engineered strains K12ΔpoxB and K12ΔpoxBΔpta. After 39 hours of fermentation in 500 mL shake flasks, the cytidine yields of strains K12ΔpoxB and K12ΔpoxBΔpta were 1.91 ± 0.04 g/L and 18.28 ± 0.22 g/L, respectively. Disruption of the poxB and pta genes resulted in reduced acetic acid production and glucose consumption. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed that impairing the acetic acid metabolic pathway in E. coli effectively redirected carbon flux toward cytidine biosynthesis, yielding a 5.26-fold reduction in acetate metabolism and an 11.56-fold increase in cytidine production. These findings provide novel insights into the influence of the acetate metabolic pathway on cytidine biosynthesis in E. coli.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Background
The number of re-biopsied blastocysts is widely increasing in PGT cycles and concerns regarding retesting, which involve double biopsy and vitrification-warming, have been raised. The re-biopsy intervention seems to significantly reduce the pregnancy potential of a blastocyst but the evidence is still restricted to retrospective observational studies reporting a low number of cycles with re-biopsied embryos. Additionally, the neonatal outcomes after the transfer of re-biopsied and re-vitrified embryos are poorly documented to date.
Methods
A systematic review, using PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar to identify all relevant RCTs, cohort and case-control studies published until December 2024. The participants will include women undergoing preimplantation genetic testing and single euploid FET cycles. The primary outcomes are live birth rate (LBR) and singleton birthweight, whereas secondary outcomes are post-warming embryo survival rate, clinical pregnancy (fetal heart pregnancies at 4.5 weeks), miscarriage rate (loss of pregnancy before the 20th week, and stillbirth), preterm birth (PB) rate, small-for-gestational age (SGA, <-1.28 SDS), large-for-gestational age (LGA, >+1.28 SDS), low birthweight (LBW; birthweight < 2500g), preterm birth (gestation < 37 weeks), macrosomia (birthweight > 4000g), pre-eclampsia, eclampsia, perinatal death and major congenital malformations. Eligible studies will be selected according to pre-specified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Additionally, manual search will target other unpublished reports and supplementary data. At least two independent reviewers will be responsible for article screening, data extraction and bias assessment of eligible studies. A third reviewer will resolve any disagreements. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and will be used to assess the quality of the included studies. Studies that receive a score equal to or greater than 7 on the NOS will be considered high quality. The extracted data will be pooled and a meta-analysis will be performed. To carry out the data synthesis, a random effects meta-analysis will be conducted using the RevMan software. Heterogeneity will be evaluated by Cochran’s Q test and the I2 statistics and the strength of evidence will be rated with reference to GRADE. The review and meta-analysis will be reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Discussion
The findings of this systematic review will be important to clinicians, embryologists, patients, and assisted reproductive service providers regarding the decision-making on retesting embryos for PGT in FET cycles.

A Different Approach to the Automotive Brand Experience: Brand Respect, Brand Love, Brand Fidelity
Authors: Samsa Caglar 
Published: November 2024

Abstract

The impact of brand experiences on customers’ purchasing decisions is becoming increasingly significant. Emotional factors, in particular, are emerging as central drivers in shaping these experiences, profoundly influencing consumer choices and fostering deeper brand connections. Thus the main purpose of the study is to determine the importance of emotional elements in consumer experiences in the automotive industry and to investigate the direct and indirect relationships between brand respects, brand love, brand fidelity by blending lovemark and attachment theories. To test the research model, partial least squares path modeling (PLS) was used with a sample of 283 experiencing any automobile brand. In this context, an outcome-oriented approach adds the dimension of brand fidelity to the theory previously explored in the areas of brand respect and brand affection. The findings reveal that brand respect is an important antecedent of brand love. Furthermore, the study identifies a partial direct effect of brand respect on brand loyalty, supported by the mediating role of brand affection. These critical findings contribute to filling an important gap in the literature, given the limited existing research in this area.

Abstract

Diagnosing rare muscle diseases can be challenging due to their genetic heterogeneity. In order to coordinate the genetic diagnosis by a gene panel approach, the French National Network for Rare Neuromuscular Diseases (FILNEMUS) has previously established a pioneering nationwide strategy based on gene lists organized in 13 phenotype-specific gene panels. We now provide revised guidelines that add 47 recently described muscle-disease causing genes and update gene-disease relationships for the initially included genes. Using data collected from all FILNEMUS molecular diagnosis laboratories, we also establish a "Major Muscle Genes Panel" that includes genes responsible for the most frequent genetic muscle diseases, providing a first-tier genetic test if the choice of a phenotype-specific panel is not clear. The updated diagnostic strategy of the FILNEMUS network will help avoiding unnecessary analysis of variants of uncertain significance, reduce the turn-around time for genetic results and facilitate rapid access to the French national genome sequencing platforms.

Abstract

Liver fibrosis is a common pathway shared by all forms of progressive chronic liver disease. There is an unmet clinical need for noninvasive imaging tools to diagnose and stage fibrosis, which presently relies heavily on percutaneous liver biopsy. Here we explored the feasibility of using a novel type I collagen-targeted manganese (Mn)-based MRI probe, Mn-CBP20, for liver fibrosis imaging. In vitro characterization of Mn-CBP20 demonstrated its high binding affinity for human collagen (Kd = 9.6 µM), high T1-relaxivity (48.9 mM-1s-1 at 1.4T and 27°C), and kinetic inertness to Mn release under forcing conditions. We demonstrated MRI using Mn-CBP20 performs comparably to previously reported gadolinium-based type I collagen-targeted probe EP-3533 in a mouse model of carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis, and further demonstrate efficacy to detect fibrosis in a diet-induced mouse model of metabolically-associated steatohepatitis. Biodistribution studies using the Mn-CBP20 radio-labeled with the positron-emitting 52Mn isotope demonstrate efficient clearance of Mn-CBP20 primarily via renal excretion. Mn-CBP20 represents a promising candidate that merits further evaluation and development for molecular imaging of liver fibrosis.

Published: November 2024

Abstract

Effective water resource management often involves constructing dams to provide numerous benefits, yet mismanagement of these structures can lead to serious consequences, including fatalities, infrastructure damage, and environmental harm. As climate change intensifies, the risk of dam failures is expected to rise. This study provides a comprehensive global analysis of dam failures in the 21st century, examining the characteristics, causes, and impacts of these incidents. A detailed dataset of 53 operational dam failures was compiled, categorizing each case based on parameters such as seasonality, dam age, height, capacity, and primary and secondary causes of failure. The findings of the analysis reveal that most failures occurred in intermediate, non-aging dams, with human-related factors representing the predominant causes. Statistical analysis of cases worldwide highlights poor management, design and construction flaws, and meteorological factors—largely influenced by climate change—as the leading contributors to dam failures. By presenting these findings, this study aims to inform policymakers and stakeholders of the critical need for proactive risk mitigation, guiding them in prioritizing actions to reduce dam-related risks. The results also highlight the need to revise safety standards and implement targeted measures to reduce the risk of dam failures effectively.

Abstract

Gangue is a kind of primarily by-product during the coal mining process, which has become one of the most important bulk solid wastes that need to be treated urgently in China. Hence, location recognition and edge detection of coal gangue with high accuracy is vital to intelligent longwall top coal caving (LTCC) mining. Aiming at the random distribution of different coal gangue types in fully mechanized caving face under the visible lens, a new method of gangue mixed ratio recognition by marker matching method was proposed. The locations of the motion-blurred images of coal and gangue were carried out, and an automatic recognition system of coal and gangue was developed based on the fusion features of grayscale and texture. The experimental results show that when the speed is in the range of 0.2 ~ 1.0m/s, the recognition accuracy of the coal and gangue type with small gray difference is more than 92%, and the recognition accuracy for the coal and gangue types with large gray difference is more than 97%. Furthermore, based on the improved HSV color space model of RGB, the morphological segmentation of the coal and gangue blocks are effectively carried out by using the mean binarization method.
EXPLORING COMICS IN A PERFORMATIVE WAY
Authors: Wittig Caroline 
Published: November 2024

Comics are widely regarded as a medium particularly well-suited for heterogeneous learning groups (J. Hoffmann, 2021, p. 202). As a form of all-age literature in the best sense, they offer meaning to readers from diverse backgrounds, making them relevant to all stages of literary socialization (Staiger, 2021, p. 33). Despite these promising characteristics, there are still few didactic concepts for incorporating comics into aesthetic learning in schools. One notable approach is reading panels. This method involves a dynamic form of staging comics, where readers not only read the text aloud but also make sounds corresponding to the images. This practice has proven effective in slowing down the reading process and encouraging close examination of both text and images (Wittig, 2022). The complexity of the task invites students to experiment with strategies, reflect, and discuss the comic. As a cooperative learning activity (Wocken, 2014, p. 71), panel reading works particularly well in inclusive literature lessons.
This article presents qualitative empirical research on the potential of panel readings in heterogeneous learning groups. Panel readings of Lehmriese lebt! [Clay Giant’s Alive!] (Kuhl, 2015) in elementary schools were transcribed using audio and video data. Key incidents, as defined by Kroon & Sturm (2007), were identified and analyzed using interaction analysis (Krummheuer & Naujok, 1999). The findings reveal that during panel readings, children engage deeply with one another, discussing the stories and how they are narrated, using language, body movement, voice, and things.
Effect of Layer Charge Density and Charge Location on the Swelling of Smectite: Implications for Geological Storage of CO2 and High-Level Nuclear Wastes
Authors: Benavides Paolo Andre D. , Guggenheim Stephen 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
Storage sites for CO2 and high-level nuclear wastes (HLNW) involve smectite because of its ability to increase in molar volume (swelling). However, the molar volume and dissolution of smectite can be affected by its layer charge density and charge location, and composition when pressure (P), CO2 pressure [P(CO2)], temperature (T) and brine concentration vary. The molar volume [d(001)] of Ca-exchanged high-charge montmorillonite (CaSAz1) and saponite (CaSapCa1) were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) under varying P(CO2)-T in CaCl2 brines. In addition, geochemical modeling analyzed the extent of dissolution of these smectite phases. The results were compared to a Ca-exchanged low-charge montmorillonite (CaSWy2). Increasing the brine concentration (from 0.17 to 3.42 M) and T (from near 33 to 150 °C) results in a ≤16% and ≤14% decrease in d(001) values for CaSAz1 and CaSapCa1, respectively, whereas no change was observed when P(CO2) was increased from ambient to 500 bars. The d(001) values of CaSAz1 are ≤0.7 Å higher than CaSWy2 because of the higher charge density of CaSAz1 which increases the Ca2+ content in the interlayer. In contrast, the d(001) values of CaSapCa1 are ≤0.8 Å lower than CaSWy2 because the deficit layer charge of CaSapCa1 occurs in the tetrahedral sheet. Geochemical modeling shows that the extent of dissolution of smectite is affected by its composition. Under acidic conditions, CaSapCa1 is 35 times higher in % dissolution than CaSAz1 and CaSWy2 because CaSapCa1 has a higher Mg2+ content. The dissolution of CaSapCa1 results in a higher solution pH by the formation of bicarbonate and carbonate phases, which is an alternate way of storing CO2. Thus, the smectite species must be considered when storage sites for CO2 or HLNW are being considered.
Quarries as a Source of Nitrate Pollution in Karst Aquifers: Case Study, the Edwards Aquifer, Texas
Authors: Doyle James David 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
The San Antonio segment of the karstic Edwards Aquifer provides an example of the impact of aggregate quarries on nitrate loads in karst aquifers. Previous published reports have not evaluated aggregate quarries as a possible cause of nitrate concentrations in the Edwards Aquifer above normal background levels and instead attribute nitrate to recent urban development directly over the aquifer’s recharge zone. Quarries are known to be sources of nitrate pollution of groundwater resulting from use of ammonium nitrate fuel–oil (ANFO) mixtures as explosives in mining operations. Ammonium nitrate is highly soluble and leaches readily into the formation being mined. Large quantities are used, up to 30 percent of which is not consumed by blasting, thus constituting a potential groundwater pollutant. Groundwater data from the Texas Water Development Board and stream data from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality show that urbanization cannot explain the geographic distribution and historical changes of nitrate in the aquifer. The geographic distribution of numerous limestone quarries fits with the data, and nitrate concentrations in the Edwards Aquifer have risen since ANFO use as an explosive began on a large scale, which indicates quarries are a major contributor of nitrate to the aquifer. Water-quality measurements of nitrate in the Edwards Aquifer mostly remain at a level safe for humans. However, some freshwater aquatic organisms are harmed by prolonged exposure to lower nitrate levels. Recent nitrate measurements show that most measurements have reached a level that might be harmful to some groundwater species.
Using Landslides to Locate the Epicenter for the Historic 1882 Earthquake in Colorado
Authors: Marchlewicz Justin , Santi Paul 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACT
On November 7, 1882, the largest earthquake in Colorado’s recorded history impacted an area estimated to be 470,000 km2 (181,000 mi2). While differing accounts of intensity were recorded by various communities at the time, the distribution of reported damages indicated a likely magnitude between 6 and 7. This study aimed to refine this estimate using landslides within the region that were likely to be co-seismic. Previously proposed methodology was used to calculate surface roughness values for landslides mapped at various scales digitized and compiled by the Colorado Geological Survey. A search radius of 54 km surrounding the epicentral estimate for the earthquake was chosen to evaluate the relative ages of landslides within the defined region. While the proposed methodology requires a calibration using age-dated landslides within the data set, the use of surface roughness as a relative age scale proved to be sufficiently useful to constrain an area within the study that showed anomalously high surface roughness values. Based on this earthquake being one of the only large earthquakes to have occurred in recorded history in Colorado, as well as a lack of wide distribution in the anomalous region expected from a storm event, this anomalous area containing high surface roughness landslides across varying base lithologies was concluded to have a high probability of being co-seismically induced. Utilizing this information, a new initiation ellipse was generated from these data.
