Soil Cycles of Elements simulator for Predicting TERrestrial regulation of greenhouse gases: SCEPTER v0.9
Authors: Kanzaki Yoshiki , Zhang Shuang , Planavsky Noah J. , Reinhard Christopher T. 
Published: June 2022

Abstract. The regulation of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is an urgent issue – continuously increasing atmospheric CO2 from burning
fossil fuels is leading to significant warming and acidification of the
surface ocean. Timely and effective measures to curb CO2 increases are
thus needed in order to mitigate the potential degradation of natural
ecosystems, food security, and livelihood caused by anthropogenic release of
CO2. Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) on croplands and hinterlands may be
one of the most economically and ecologically effective ways to sequester
CO2 from the atmosphere, given that these soil environments generally
favor mineral dissolution and because amending soils with crushed rock can
result in a number of co-benefits to plant growth and crop yield. However, robust quantitative evaluation of CO2 capture by ERW in terrestrial soil systems that can lead to coherent policy implementation will require an ensemble of traceable mechanistic models that are optimized for simulating ERW in managed systems. Here, we present a new 1D reactive transport model – SCEPTER. The model is designed to (1) mechanistically simulate natural weathering, including dissolution/precipitation of minerals along with
uplift/erosion of solid phases, advection plus diffusion of aqueous phases
and diffusion of gas phases, (2) allow targeted addition of solid phases at the soil–atmosphere interface, including multiple forms of organic matter
(OM) and crushed mineral/rock feedstocks, (3) implement a range of soil mixing regimes as catalyzed by soil surface fauna (e.g., bioturbation) or
humans (e.g., various forms of tilling), and (4) enable calculation of solid mineral surface area based on controlled initial particle size distributions
coupled to a shrinking core framework. Here we describe the model structure
and intrinsic thermodynamic/kinetic data, provide a series of idealized
simulations to demonstrate the basic behavior of the code, and evaluate the
computational and mechanistic performance of the model against observational
data. We also provide selected example applications to highlight model
features particularly useful for future prediction of CO2 sequestration
by ERW in soil systems.

Memory for Gaze Cues Can Attenuate Change Blindness in the Flicker Paradigm
Authors: Miller Alexis , Tolliver Joshua , Varakin Alex 
Published: June 2022

Introduction: Observers often pay attention to objects that are the target of another’s gaze. The current experiments investigate if memory for gaze cues has similar effects on attention.
Methods: We used the flicker paradigm, in which participants searched for changes in pictures of real-world scenes. In experiment 1, half of the scenes depicted a person looking at the changing object, and the other half depicted no people. In experiment 2, none of the scenes in the flicker sequence contained people, but participants previewed pictures prior to the flicker sequence, and half of the previews depicted a person looking at the changing object.
Results: In both experiments, participants were faster to find changes when the changes were cued (Exp 1, t(20) = 2.55, p = .02; Exp 2, t(49) = 7.18, p < .001). Analysis of accuracy suggests it was not due to a speed-accuracy tradeoff.
Conclusions: These results suggest that memory for gaze cues may help guide attention. However, the results do not suggest one way or the other whether this effect is reflexive or unique to social cues.

Abstract
Development of renewable energy infrastructure requires critical raw materials, such as the rare earth elements (REEs, including scandium) and niobium, and is driving expansion and diversification in their supply chains. Although alternative sources are being explored, the majority of the world’s resources of these elements are found in alkaline-silicate rocks and carbonatites. These magmatic systems also represent major sources of fluorine and phosphorus. Exploration models for critical raw materials are comparatively less well developed than those for major and precious metals, such as iron, copper, and gold, where most of the mineral exploration industry continues to focus. The diversity of lithologic relationships and a complex nomenclature for many alkaline rock types represent further barriers to the exploration and exploitation of REE-high field strength element (HFSE) resources that will facilitate the green revolution. We used a global review of maps, cross sections, and geophysical, geochemical, and petrological observations from alkaline systems to inform our description of the alkaline-silicate REE + HFSE mineral system from continental scale (1,000s km) down to deposit scale (~1 km lateral). Continental-scale targeting criteria include a geodynamic trigger for low-degree mantle melting at high pressure and a mantle source enriched in REEs, volatile elements, and alkalies. At the province and district scales, targeting criteria relate to magmatic-system longevity and the conditions required for extensive fractional crystallization and the residual enrichment of the REEs and HFSEs. A compilation of maps and geophysical data were used to construct an interactive 3-D geologic model (25-km cube) that places mineralization within a depth and horizontal reference frame. It shows typical lithologic relationships surrounding orthomagmatic REE-Nb-Ta-Zr-Hf mineralization in layered agpaitic syenites, roof zone REE-Nb-Ta mineralization, and mineralization of REE-Nb-Zr associated with peralkaline granites and pegmatites. The resulting geologic model is presented together with recommended geophysical and geochemical approaches for exploration targeting, as well as mineral processing and environmental factors pertinent for the development of mineral resources hosted by alkaline-silicate magmatic systems.

Published: June 2022

This work aims to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of high-strength lightweight concrete components on the basis of local porous fillers and complex additives. It is theoretically substantiated and practically proven that with optimal amounts of the complex additives – micro silica and superplasticizer Melflux 5581F, it is possible to obtain concrete with a compressive strength of up to 62 MPa and bending strength of 10.5 MPa, profitably using the microsilica pozzolanic activity and super plasticizer, which favorably changes the nature of porosity. Depending on the water/cement ratio, micro-and macro capillary pores of different origins, as well as other shape pores appear in the cement stone, which significantly affects the physical and mechanical characteristics of the concrete: strength, water absorption, water permeability, frost resistance, durability, etc.

Published: June 2022

Diabetes mellitus has become increasingly prevalent over the years. The chronic hyperglycaemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunctions, and failure of different organs suggesting that the most effective tool to prevent complications is the effective control of hyperglycaemia itself. The study is set to determine the effect of glycemic control on plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1), soluble thrombomodulin (STM) alongside fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among type 2 diabetic subjects. One hundred diabetic subjects accessing care at the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital Calabar and 100 non –diabetics that served as controls were enrolled. Blood samples from participants were analyzed for FPG, HbA1c, PAI-1 and STM by standard methods. The result shows 74% of the diabetic to be females. Half of the diabetics were managed on only oral anti-diabetic drugs while the remaining half were either on insulin injection or a combination of oral and insulin injection. Poor glycemic control was observed in 56% of the studied subjects. The mean age of 54.69 ± 9.94 years for the diabetics was comparable to the age-matched controls (p=.097). Diabetics showed significantly higher FPG, HbA1c, PAI-1and STM (P=0.001) compared to control values. Correlations between STM, PAI 1 and glycated hemoglobin (figures 2 p=0.001, p =0.001) and STM, PAI-1 and FPG revealed significantly robust association (p=0.001, p=0.001). The study concludes that there is poor glycemic control among the treated diabetic subjects with PAI-1 and STM showing a very strong positive correlation with HbA1c than FPG.
