Published: September 2024

Salmonellosis in poultry have been reported worldwide as the major cause of gastrointestinal foodborne illness and unembellished losses to the poultry industry. The current study aimed to isolate, purify, and characterize the species in suspected chickens during natural outbreaks in commercial poultry farms in Pakistan. A total of 50 dead birds were randomly selected and examined for postmortem from each of the 10 farms located in different areas of Punjab and Sind provinces of Pakistan. Liver and cloacal swab samples from each of the birds showing typical lesions were collected and inoculated on Salmonella-shigella agar (SSA), Xylose-Lysine deoxycholate agar (XLD) and CHROM agar (CA). The DNA of the isolates was extracted and amplified using an flhB gene specifically designed primer for Salmonella. The gene sequences of the different isolates were analyzed using the NCBI portal and a phylogenetic relationship was established (DNA-Star version 2.0). Small black center colonies with translucent margins appeared after 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, showing a 379bp PCR product. The validated sequences were deposited in the NCBI database with accession numbers PP393497 through PP726904. Gene sequence analysis revealed two different serovars of Salmonella species (13%) and (80%) while the remaining isolates did not predict any similarity to the NCBI database. The isolates showing more than 99% similarity to accession numbers are CP011365, CP129209, CP011365, CP129206, CP011365, CP011365, CP011365, CP129206, CP011942, CP129209, CP129206, CP129209, LR792395and CP100724. Finally, most gram-negative bacteria are sensitive erythromycin, and tetracycline, and they also showed resistant to ofloxacin and gentamycin.

Published: September 2024

The banking industry is one of the crucial foundations of Indonesia's economy. The use of event marketing strategies has become an essential promotional tool in expanding the reach of potential customers, one of which is applied by X Banking Company through the X Banking Application Festival. This study focuses on the X Banking Application Festival and limits its scope to the festival's implementation in Surabaya. The aim of this study is to enhance the acquisition program through the implementation of an event manual for the next X Banking Application Festival. The research method used is qualitative by conducting interviews with 7 informants who were involved in the X Festival in Surabaya and field observations based on internship activities. By employing tools, such as rich picture and fishbone diagram based on the DMAIC framework, Event Product Life Cycle, Event Manual, and Event Report, the identified priority issue is “The Failure to Achieve the Acquisition Program Target”. The results show that X Banking Company has not been able to meet the customer acquisition program targets at the X Banking Application Festival due to the absence of an event manual in the preparation process. This root cause was identified through analysis using fishbone diagram and interrelationship diagram tools. Given this issue, X Banking Company needs an event manual as a development solution to help improve team productivity in achieving customer acquisition targets at future X Banking Application Festival events.

The aim of this research is to find out how digital payments are used at Foresthree Coffee Transyogi, to find out the obstacles to using digital payments at Foresthree Coffee Transyogi, and also to find out solutions to overcome the obstacles faced when making transactions using digital payments at Foresthree Coffee Transyogi.
This research uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach that focuses on observing phenomena or events in the original conditions obtained. In collecting data sources, researchers collect data in the form of primary data and secondary data. Data collection in this research was collected directly from the original source using data collection techniques with interviews, observation and documentation.
Based on the results of this research, it can be seen that the use of digital payments at Foresthree Coffee Transyogi makes it quite easy for baristas and consumers to carry out transactions. However, using digital payments is not yet an option, this can be seen from consumers' choices when making transactions. There are problems in the form of problems with the system and an unstable internet connection that makes it dependent on the internet. Based on these obstacles, there are several suggestions, namely carrying out routine maintenance to prevent technical problems, checking the device before use to minimize the occurrence of problems, carrying out regular evaluations to identify and fix problems, and providing a stable internet connection to ensure smooth transactions.
NEOICHNOLOGY OF A MICROTIDAL CARBONATE INTERTIDAL ZONE: ABU DHABI, U.A.E.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
The Abu Dhabi coast, particularly the supratidal zone known as the “sabkha”, has been a subject of geological interest in recent decades due to its relevance as an analogue for subsurface petroleum reservoirs. The intertidal zone (Al Qantur lagoon) has received less attention, especially regarding neoichnological investigations. This study addresses this research gap by combining modern sedimentological and neoichnological observations. Three recurring depositional textures are identified in the sediments examined: the bioturbated peloidal grainstone, microbially laminated bindstone, and bioclastic rudstone. Observed burrows are generally of two types; those attributed to worms (Nereis polychaetes) and those to decapod crustaceans. Crustaceans homogenize sediments in distal areas by excavating dwelling structures, while worms act as mobile deposit feeders. The relatively low complexity and diversity of burrowing morphologies in Abu Dhabi are attributed to heightened environmental stressors, including salinity, heat, and subaerial exposure, as well as upward seepage of hypersaline continental brines. Porewater analyses indicate a stabilization of salinity within burrows, suggesting the infauna irrigate their burrows to cope with elevated salinity. Crustacean burrows enhance solute advection in the lower intertidal zone by increasing substrate permeability, facilitating the penetration of less-saline surface waters to greater depths. This study provides a unique neoichnological examination of Abu Dhabi’s intertidal zones and assesses the impact of bioturbation on solute advection, an aspect often overlooked in contemporary carbonate sedimentological studies.
Calculation Modeling of Adsorbed and Bulk-Phase Oil Resources Based on Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Published: September 2024

Summary
Nanopores prevalent in shale reservoirs significantly impact shale oil occurrence characteristics due to the strong intermolecular forces between crude oil molecules and the pore walls. Unlike bulk-phase oil, which is more readily recoverable with current technologies, the behavior of oil within these small-scale environments presents unique challenges. This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations (MDSs) to investigate the characteristics of shale oil in slit nanopores, with the goal of refining a model that estimates the quantities of both bulk and adsorbed oil in shale reservoirs. We constructed models for three types of nanopores—organic graphene, illite, and quartz—using n-hexane (n-C6H14) as a proxy for shale oil. Our analysis reveals that mineral composition significantly influences fluid adsorption capacity, ranked as graphene &gt; illite &gt; quartz. Unlike prior research, we found that the critical flow pore diameter, which dictates the transition from adsorbed to free-flowing oil, cannot be simplistically equated to the combined thickness of adsorption layers. Specifically, in graphene pores with a diameter of 3.8 nm, the fluid mass density at the pore center still exhibits adsorption layer characteristics, forming up to nine layers. Building on these insights, we revised the shale reservoir resource estimation model to account for adsorption variances across different pore types. Our findings highlight the significant role of adsorbed oil in nanopores within shale reservoirs. Data from the Gulong shale oil block in the Daqing oil field indicate that adsorbed oil constitutes 37.15% of geological reserves, while bulk-phase oil accounts for the remaining 62.85%. This research provides essential data for accurately calculating shale oil reserves in nanopores, which are crucial for the effective exploitation of shale oil reservoirs.

Abstract

Deep-sea sediments rich in rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY) have gained worldwide interest because of the increasing demand for REY in green-energy technologies, aiming to establish a carbon-neutral future. Bioapatite fossils (Ca5(PO4)3-x(CO3)xF1+x) are regarded as the main REY host in marine deposits, however, their quantity is disproportionally low compared to the abundance of phosphorous and REY in deep-sea sediments. Here, we report novel pellets of abiotic authigenic carbonate fluorapatite (AA-CFA) that contain over ~23,000 μg/g REY, thus serving as another significant REY host in deep-sea sediments. We show that phosphorous likely originates from P-bound hydrothermal Fe (oxyhydr)oxides, and that AA-CFA is a previously overlooked P sink in open ocean settings. We also show that AA-CFA pellets can record and preserve the neodymium (Nd) isotopic composition of bottom seawater. Altogether, the findings reshape our understanding of deep-sea REY deposits and P cycling, and highlight the potential of AA-CFA pellets as a new proxy for tracing water mass circulation.
Assessing Rock Avalanche and subsequent Debris Flow Propagation: Comparison between Numerical Simulations and Empirical Relationships in a Context of Frontally Confined Propagation

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Rock avalanches, characterized by rapid and high energy flows of fragmented rock material down slopes, pose significant risks in mountainous regions. Anticipating their potential impact area and run-out distance is crucial in the scope of hazard assessment. Two main approaches, empirical and numerical, are commonly employed for this purpose. Most research uses these methods for back-analyzing past rock avalanche events, where the runout distance and impacted areas are known. But in this study, focusing on the Cima del Simano instability (Swiss Alps), the potential impacted area and the maximum run-out distance are evaluated for two potential future scenarios of failure, named S1 and SS1, characterized by a volume of 4.30\(\:\times\:\)106 m3 and 2.30\(\:\times\:\)106 m3, respectively. Empirical power-law relationships are applied to estimate run-out distances. They are confronted with results obtained with numerical simulations, using the Voellmy rheology model where the two parameters describing the flow behavior are carefully selected based on a literature review. The analysis reveals challenges in matching empirical and numerical results in a context of a propagation frontally obstructed by the presence of an opposite valley flank, because most of the landslide inventories do not account for the geomorphology and topography of the propagation areas. Nonetheless, a maximum run-out distance is suggested by comparing the results. Additional information regarding the probability of run-out exceedance and the maximum distance impacted by the rock avalanche blast is also provided, based on landslide inventories from different studies. In addition, based on the numerical simulations, this work identifies potential locations in gullies where debris can accumulate during rock avalanche propagations. The accumulation of materials due to successive rockfall or rockslide events can fill the channels present on the west flank of the slope. They can trigger in the future more frequent debris flow events and/or mobilize larger volumes of materials. A debris flow susceptibility assessment through numerical simulations is conducted helping in the assessment of the maximum run-out distance susceptible to be impacted by future debris flow events. The results align with the locations of previous debris flow and snow avalanche events recorded by the Ticino canton. However, the accumulation of debris from rock avalanches will increase the frequency and quantity of mobilized material, leading to propagations over larger areas. This work offers valuable insights for hazard assessment, emphasizing the importance of the topography during the propagation and the complexity of cascading events.

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Zoos play a crucial role in contributing to lemur conservation via ex situ conservation breeding programmes, but mismatches between captive and wild environments can impact upon breeding success. We aimed to develop a novel scent enrichment based on female fertile odours to enhance welfare and breeding success of captive ruffed lemurs (Varecia spp.). We identified 12 volatile compounds from the anogenital odour secretions of a female red-ruffed lemur (V. rubra) distinguishing the fertile chemical profile using solid-phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, which we used to develop a biologically-relevant scent enrichment. We presented this enrichment to four zoo-housed groups of red-ruffed and black-and-white ruffed (V. variegata) lemurs. We assessed the effects of the scent enrichment by combining behavioural observations with faecal endocrinology (measuring cortisol and testosterone). We found a significant increase of olfactory behaviours and a significant decrease of inactivity after presenting the enrichment; however, faecal cortisol concentration also increased significantly. We also found that sexual behaviours significantly increased and, crucially, mounting was triggered in males, while faecal testosterone concentration increased but not significantly. Thus, we argue that our newly designed scent enrichment has the potential to improve conservation breeding practices and success in zoo-housed ruffed lemurs.
Reproductive biology of the original hydrothermal hairy snail, Alviniconcha hessleri, from the Mariana back-arc

Published: September 2024

Abstract

Many life history traits of hydrothermal vent fauna are undescribed, yet this knowledge is crucial for the accurate assessment of the vulnerability of vent endemic species, which are endangered by anthropogenic impacts in the deep-sea. Here we advance the knowledge of life history traits in Hessler’s hairy snail, Alviniconcha hessleri, a dominant gastropod harbouring chemosynthetic endosymbionts endemic to hydrothermal vents along the Mariana back-arc. Snails were collected from sites at four hydrothermal vent fields to quantify reproductive periodicity using histology, larval developmental mode using oocyte and protoconch-I size, and differences in oocyte size across diverse venting environments. Results indicate that A. hessleri shares some of the same traits as other vent gastropods: continuous oogenesis and consistent provisioning to oocyte size, regardless of local vent fluid chemistry. A maximum oocyte size of 93 µm indicates planktotrophy for this species but could not be further supported using protoconch size due to excessive shell degradation. Our results suggest that this species maximizes reproductive output and oocyte quality, expected as a response to unpredictable environmental conditions to ensure the continued maintenance of existing populations and the establishment of new populations. Although the life history traits of A. hessleri may convey high reproductive and dispersal potential, the realized range of this species is limited to seven vent fields. Thus, this species may be vulnerable to habitat disruption due to its reliance on a restricted habitat, even though it has life history traits adapted to high environmental variability.
