Influence of Gizzard Shad on Black Crappie populations in prairie impoundments of Western South Dakota
Authors: Galinat Gene , Miller Bill 
Published: March 2024

AbstractGizzard Shad Dorosoma cepedianum have been introduced into Western South Dakota reservoirs and shown to improve the growth and size structure of sportfish, particularly Walleye Sander vitreus. Black Crappies Pomoxis nigromaculatus are a popular sportfish in these reservoirs, but influences Gizzard Shad have on these populations have not been well documented. We used 10 years of annual sampling data to evaluate changes in Black Crappie population characteristics (i.e. recruitment, growth, size structure and condition) in four Western South Dakota reservoirs after Gizzard Shad were introduced. We also compared Black Crappie population characteristics after shad introductions to populations in three reservoirs never having shad. We found Black Crappie populations in Western South Dakota reservoirs are characterized by variable recruitment, generally experiencing some level of recruitment failure. Reservoirs with Gizzard Shad showed greater mean length‐at‐age and higher proportional size distributions (PSD and PSD‐P) for Black Crappie after the shad introductions and higher values than observed in reservoirs never having shad. We found no meaningful differences in abundance, and mean condition of Black Crappie populations whether Gizzard Shad were present or not. The addition of Gizzard Shad did not appear to negatively affect Black Crappie populations but rather improved crappie size structure. Our results indicate that introductions of Gizzard Shad are a viable management option for producing quality Black Crappie fisheries in Western South Dakota reservoirs.

AbstractProductivity of tropical and subtropical grasslands is often limited by inadequate nitrogen (N) supply. Aeschynomene (Aeschynomene americana L.) is a warm‐season legume that may contribute as N input in grazing systems, but there is limited information about aeschynomene litter decomposition and N dynamics on pastures. The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of overseeding aeschynomene or applying N fertilizer to existing bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flüggé) on litter disappearance and decomposition rates. The study was conducted in Ona, FL, from October 2019 to May 2020 and October 2020 to May 2021. Treatments were the split‐plot arrangement of bahiagrass‐aeschynomene or bahiagrass monoculture (main plot) and N fertilization level, (0 [control] or 60 kg N ha−1) as subplot, distributed in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The nylon bag technique was used to estimate organic matter (OM), N and carbon (C) disappearance, and lignin concentration for 184 days of incubation. Bahiagrass‐aeschynomene had greater OM disappearance (from 330 to 356 g kg−1 OM) and was driven by C disappearance. Nitrogen fertilization did not impact litter decomposition responses, except for C:N ratio. Overseeding aeschynomene is an effective management practice to increase OM decomposition and optimize nutrient cycling in warm‐season pastures.

Published: March 2024

AbstractCodesign is an increasingly common term in Indigenous education policy settings. However, it is unclear exactly what it means and how it is enacted. This systematic review examined 15 papers relevant to codesign in the context of Indigenous education, clearly distinguishing between codesign as a process and a method. These papers provide a snapshot of the various ways codesign is conceptualised, enacted as a process and evaluated in Indigenous education settings. In this paper, we respond to these three areas of codesign to inform a more nuanced framework to help policymakers and practitioners in the future.
The drivers, features, and influence of first scientific collaboration among core scholars from Chinese library and information field
Authors: Peng Xianzhe , Shi Jin 
Published: March 2024

AbstractCollaboration among scholars in scientific research is increasingly common, making it important to address how to recommend suitable collaborators, especially for their first cooperation. To address this issue, this study focuses on 1487 core scholars in the field of library and information science in China, and then analyzes the impact of academic differences between these scholars in their first collaboration by using the propensity matching score method. It uncovers potential driving factors for scholars to reach first collaborations, including similar research productivity, contrasting academic influence, aligned research directions, and distinct research focuses. Then, the distribution of features of three types of first cooperation demonstrates that if one or both partners publish the first paper in this collaboration, the collaborative relationship tends to be more enduring and stable. In addition, the subsequent collaboration of scholars and the change in their academic differences are related to the initial academic differences between the two parties in the first collaboration. These patterns can be used to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the scholar recommendation mechanism, hence promoting research collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Published: March 2024

AbstractThe application of Mott–Schottky (M−S) analysis of impedance data to sub–micro samples extracted from the corrosion patina of copper, bronze, and brass archaeological artifacts attached to graphite electrodes is described. The corresponding theoretical approach is developed to account for the contribution of the composition and structure of the corrosion patina and the effect of the bare graphite substrate. Experimental data in contact with 0.10 M Na2SO4 aqueous solution at pH 6.28 are consistent with the p‐type semiconducting nature of the main copper corrosion products, cuprite, and tenorite. The values of the apparent flat band potential and the slope of the M−S plots allow archaeological samples to be grouped according to their M−S parameters (slopes and intercepts). Assuming equivalent conditions of corrosion, the resulting grouping is judged to be dependent on the composition, and/or method of manufacture, and/or age. Studied samples include Renaissance statues from the Hofkirche in Innsbruck and a variety of objects from museums and Archaeological Heritage Office (soprintendenza) in Austria (Bad Aussee, Johanneum Graz, and the Tyrolean State Museums), and Italy (Genoa and San Remo), dating from the Bronze Age to the 18th century. Complementary data are provided by voltammetry of immobilized particles.

(2) What course assessment decisions are influenced or being made together? (i.e., assessment instructions and/or grades). (3) How much influence do learners have on decision‐making? (i.e., where does it fall on Bovill and Bulley's ladder of participation). (4) How do learners and educators go about making decisions together? (i.e., discussion or voting, with a whole class or portion of the class). (5) What are the perceived benefits, disadvantages, barriers, and/or facilitators reported by the authors?
The impact of Activation on the Performance of Optical Oxygen Sensing with the Luminescent Metal–Organic Framework MOF‐76(Eu)
Authors: Kasper Thomas , Burkhart Julian , Müller‐Buschbaum Klaus 
Published: March 2024

AbstractThe influence of activation as key parameter for oxygen sensing by luminescent metal–organic frameworks has been investigated and quantified for the archetype MOF‐76(Eu). Activation at different conditions (regarding temperature and solvent‐exchange for distinct vacuum pressure and heating time), shows an influence on the overall quenching, response time and cyclability due to different pore accessibility and surface area and therefore on the overall performance of the sensor. The optical sensing process is based on luminescence quenching, analyzed from high vacuum (10−7 bar) to ambient pressure by dosing oxygen from 0.01 bar to 1 bar. Strong influence of the different activation parameters is observed, as MOF‐76(Eu) activated at 50 °C shows limited quenching of the luminescence intensity within 30 min, while methanol‐exchange and subsequent activation at 250 °C leads to a quenching rate of 98.6 %. In addition, the sensor response occurs more than 1000 times faster within 0.2 s. These results correlate well with physisorption data, which reveal a significant change in porosity and surface area according to the degree of activation. For a better understanding of the involved processes, adsorption isotherms were recorded, surface areas determined and correlated to the photophysical parameters, including Stern‐Volmer kinetics and cycling experiments for the differently activated MOF sensors.

Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis study examined the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection rates and vaccination rates for hepatitis B (HB) among dental healthcare workers (DHCWs) in the Oita prefecture, Japan.MethodsHepatitis virus testing was conducted on 1920 participants (486 dentists and 1434 dental staff). Anonymous data on age, gender, occupation, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti‐HBs), antibodies to HCV (anti‐HCV), history of HB vaccination, and antiviral treatment for individuals with positive anti‐HCV were collected.ResultsThe positivity rates for HBsAg, anti‐HBs, and anti‐HCV were 0.5%, 39.7%, and 0.6%, respectively. Dentists had significantly higher rates of anti‐HBs positivity (53.9% vs. 34.9%; p < .0001) and anti‐HCV positivity (1.4% vs. 0.3%; p = .0080) compared to dental staff. The vaccination and non‐vaccination rates among 1395 with a known HB vaccination history were 59.1% and 40.9%, respectively. Dentists had a significantly higher HB vaccine vaccination rate than the dental staff (73.6% vs. 54.0%; p < .0001). Those in the vaccination group were younger (p < .0001), had a higher proportion of males (p = .0022) and dentists (p < .0001), a lower HBsAg positivity rate (p < .0097), and a higher anti‐HBs positivity rate (p < .0001) compared to those in the non‐vaccination group. The positivity rate of HBsAg and anti‐HBs in the unvaccinated group increased with age, with HBsAg positivity reaching 3.8% in the 70s and anti‐HBs positivity reaching 40.4% in the 70s and 66.7% in the 80s.ConclusionsThis study highlights the need to raise awareness about hepatitis prevention vaccination, particularly among dental staff, due to differences in HB vaccination rates across occupations. In particular, they indicated that elderly DHCWs may be more vulnerable to HBV infection. Regular monitoring of the vaccination rate and infection risk is crucial.

AbstractObjectivesThis study evaluated the remineralization potential of calcium sodium phosphosilicate and functionalized tri‐calcium phosphate (f‐TCP) dentifrices in deeper incipient carious lesions (ICLs).Materials and MethodsArtificial ICLs were created by placing premolars into demineralizing solutions. Teeth were randomly assigned into four groups: calcium sodium phosphosilicate (Group 1), f‐TCP (Group 2), 1450 ppm fluoride (Group 3), and distilled water (Group 4), which were subjected to 10‐day pH cycling. Mineral density (MD) was assessed using microcomputed tomography (Micro‐CT), while hardness (H) and elastic modulus (EM) were assessed using nanomechanical testing.ResultsMD % gain was higher in Groups 1–3 than in Group 4. In addition, Groups 1 and 2 exhibited significantly higher MD % gain than Group 3. Also, Groups 1–3 showed significantly higher EM and H values than Group 4 in the outer enamel area; yet, Groups 1 and 2 displayed significantly higher EM and H values than Groups 3 and 4 in the inner enamel.ConclusionsThe MD, EM, and H of ICLs significantly increased with the addition of calcium sodium phosphosilicate or f‐TCP to fluoridated dentifrices compared to standard fluoride dentifrices. The added active ingredients remineralized the deeper parts of the ICLs, while remineralization at the lesion surface was similar between tested dentifrices.

Published: March 2024

AbstractObjectivesGuided implant systems can be used as a training approach for placing implants. This in vitro prospective randomized pilot study evaluated the learning progression and skill development in freehand placement of two implants supporting a three‐unit fixed prosthesis on a simulation model among novice operators.Material and MethodsFour senior dental students with no prior implant placement experience participated in the study. As a baseline, each student placed two mandibular and two maxillary implants by freehand technique on a simulation model. Sixteen consecutive guided placements using a static guide, dynamic navigation, and template‐based guide followed totaling 32 guided implant placements into maxillary and mandibular models. Freehand implant placements before and after the various guided navigation attempts were compared to assess their impact on freehand skill. Metrics compared included surgical time, horizontal, vertical, and angulation discrepancies between the planned and placed implant positions measured on superimposed CBCT scans and analyzed with repeated measures regression with Tukey's adjusted pairwise comparisons (α = .05).ResultsBefore training with guided techniques, the average baseline freehand implant placement took 10.2 min and decreased to 8.2 after training but this difference was not statistically significant (p = .1670) There was marginal evidence of a significant difference in the 3D apex deviation with an average improvement of 0.89 mm (95% CI: −0.38, 2.16, p = .1120); and marginal evidence of a significant improvement in the overall angle with an average improvement of 3.74° (95% CI: −1.00, 8.48, p = .0869) between baseline and final freehand placement attempts.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this pilot study, guided implant placement experiences did not significantly benefit or hinder freehand placement skills. Dental students should be exposed to various placement techniques to prepare them for clinical practice and allow them to make informed decisions on the best technique based on their skills and a given clinical scenario.
Participation, agreement and reduced acrimony through family mediation: Benefits for the ambivalent client in a mandatory setting

AbstractIn Australia, it is mandatory for separating couples to attempt Family Dispute Resolution (FDR/mediation) before taking a parenting matter to court. In this context some clients may attend FDR solely as a means of accessing court processes. This article examines key outcomes across a large sample of FDR clients in a community sector organization. Participation, rates of agreement, levels of satisfaction, and levels of acrimony are assessed for the sample as a whole and for a subgroup of those indicating their intention to proceed to court. Strong rates of participation, agreement, and satisfaction are reported for the full sample, and significant reductions in acrimony are evident among those who reached agreement in FDR. We find that those who indicate ambivalence to negotiating parenting matters in FDR nevertheless derive benefit from participation in terms of reduced acrimony, satisfaction with the process, and reaching some level of agreement.

Published: March 2024

AbstractAfrican bermudagrass (Cynodon transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy) (2n = 2x = 18) has unique morphological characteristics such as finer leaf blades and shorter internodes that are important to improving turf qualities (i.e., texture and density) as compared to other Cynodon species. It has been extensively used to cross with common bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon Pers. var. dactylon) in developing high‐quality interspecific [C. dactylon (L.) Pers. × C. transvaalensis Burtt‐Davy] F1 hybrid cultivars for turf use. However, the molecular basis of its morphological variation is unknown. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to estimate the heritability and identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with morphological and reproductive traits. A first‐generation self‐pollinated (S1) population of 109 individuals was evaluated for plant height (PH), leaf blade width (LBW) and leaf blade length, stem internode diameter and length, and inflorescence prolificacy (IP) in a replicated field trial over three seasons (2018–2020). The broad‐sense heritability estimates ranged from 0.31 (PH) to 0.80 (IP). Twenty‐four QTL were identified and nine of them were consistent ones. Fifteen candidate genes were found at a major and consistent QTL region associated with LBW. Frequent QTL colocations were found among morphological traits and between morphological traits and IP, partially explaining the significant correlation. The findings provide critical information and resources toward understanding the genetic basis associated with morphological and reproductive traits within C. transvaalensis and could contribute to marker‐assisted selection for breeding new turf‐type bermudagrass cultivars.

AbstractDue to the larger sizes and stronger positive polarity of Zn2+ than dominant univalent ions, Zn2+ sluggish diffusion within V2O5 host electrodes is an essential issue in developing aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (ZIBs) of higher energy densities. Herein, a high‐performance V2O5 cathode was developed through subtly synthesizing and tuning V2O5 with oxygen vacancies‐enriched and elongated apical V=O1 bond by altering the gradient concentration of hydrazine hydrate in the gas‐solid reaction system. This strategy can enhance both intrinsic and extrinsic conductivity to a large extent. The electrochemical testing demonstrated the oxygen vacancies‐enriched and elongated apical V=O1 bond can not only increase the intrinsic electronic conductivity of V2O5, but also induce additional pseudocapacitance to enhance the Zn2+ diffusion kinetics. We used infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy to characterize the change in the bond length structure of V2O5. Simultaneously, the long‐term cyclability (capacity retention of 76.9 % after 1200 cycles at 4.0 A g−1) and rate capabilities (218 mAh g−1 at 4.0 A g−1) are promoted as well. We believe that our work might shed light on the bond length engineering of V2O5 and provide insights for the reasonable designing of novel cathodes for practical rechargeable ZIBs.

Published: March 2024

SummarySource location privacy is a developing research topic in the social Internet of Things. Source location privacy holds paramount importance in security critical wireless sensor network applications like tracking and monitoring. Several methods have been proposed for source location privacy in the social Internet of Things, but the existing methods have some issues such as improper path selection, the transmission of duplicate messages, and low network lifetime. To overcome these issues, a source location privacy protocol based on energy‐efficient and link‐reliable multi‐scale bifurcated deep Capsnet routing in the social Internet of Things is proposed in this manuscript. At first, the optimal route for the source is selected with the help of energy‐efficient and link‐reliable routing, this method helps to avoid improper path selection. To estimate the quality of the selected optimal path, the multi‐scale bifurcated deep Capsnet is applied. The introduced method is executed in MATLAB. The introduced method's performance is estimated with the aid of several performances evaluating metrics like sensitivity, energy consumption, network lifetime, safety period, and delay.
