description: Dietary intake of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory-rich foods is a growing approach for fighting inflammation and its associated disorders. Edible insects are gaining popularity as a food source; however, their therapeutic properties, anti-inflammatory activity and their mechanism of action remain largely unexplored. Herein, we evaluate the effectiveness of Antheraea assamensis pupae hydrolysates against oxidative stress and inflammation. The proteins isolated from the pupae were digested with pepsin, pancreatin, or pepsin + pancreatin and passed through a 30 kDa molecular cut-off membrane. The low molecular weight protein hydrolysates were characterised using RP-HPLC, HRMS, XRD, and FTIR-ATR. Hydrolysate from pepsin + pancreatin digestion showed significantly higher DPPH (77.13 ± 2.57%), superoxide (72.08 ± 1.15%) and hydroxyl (56.32 ± 0.90%) radical scavenging activity in a cell-free system. Further, it reduced intercellular ROS production and suppressed the lipopolysaccharide-induced protein expression of TLR4, p-IKKβ, p-NF-κβ, IL-1β, and COX2 in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, it inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators, including IL-6, IL-1β, and MIP-2. These findings suggest that A. assamensis pupae hydrolysates can be a potential source of bioactive peptides for managing oxidative stress and inflammation.
title: Establishing the Validity of the College Adjustment Scales (CAS) as Outcome Measures in a University Counseling Center: A Test of Construct and Convergent Validity
Creators: name: Wiswell, Denise K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1995

description: The College Adjustment Scales (CAS) are a multidimensional psychological measure designed specifically for use in college and university settings. The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of the College Adjustment Scales (CAS) to function as outcome measures in university counseling centers. Study 1 assessed the ability of the CAS to track change following brief therapy using a nonequivalent control group design. Study 2 assessed the convergent validity of the CAS by correlating two of the nine CAS scales with two established measures. The results of a three-factor MANOV A revealed that the CAS were able to track change very well for undergraduate students. Results for graduate students showed that three of the CAS scales tracked change quite well, two scales did not track change, and four scales did not track change for graduate males. Convergent validity results were mixed for the two scales assessed. The Self-Esteem scale was determined to be a fairly good measure of global self-esteem. The CAS Anxiety scale did not correlate well with an instrument that is a good measure of anxiety characterized by physiological symptoms. Recommendations for future research are discussed.
Reply to the "Comment on 'Piezonuclear decay of thorium' [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956]" [Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3795] by G. Ericsson et al

description: In a paper appearing in this issue of Physics Letters A, Ericsson et al. raise some critical comments on the experiment [F. Cardone, R. Mignani, A. Petrucci, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956] we carried out by cavitating a solution of thorium-228, which evidenced its anomalous decay behaviour, thus confirming the results previously obtained by Urutskoev et al. by explosion of titanium foils in solutions. In this Letter, we reply to these comments. In our opinion, the main shortcomings of the criticism by the Swedish authors are due to their omitting of inserting our experiment in the wider research stream of piezonuclear reactions, and to the statistical analysis they used, which does not comply with the rules generally accepted for samples with small numbers. However, apart from any possible theoretical speculation, there is the basic fact that two different experiments (ours and that by Urutskoev et al.), carried out independently and by different means, highlight an analogous anomaly in the decay of thorium subjected to pressure waves. Such a convergence of results shows that it is worth to further carry on experimental investigations, in order to get either a confirmation or a disproof of the induced-pressure anomalous behaviour of radioactive nuclides even different from thorium.

The reaction of singlet oxygen with olefins
Creators: name: Ashford, Robert Douglas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The reaction of singlet oxygen with a number of substituted mono-and di-olefins was studied here in the gas phase. The reaction took place in a conventional discharge flow system and was followed by a mass spectrometer which measured the decay of the olefin concentration along the tube. .The singlet oxygen was monitored photometrically using a calibrated photomultiplier tube. By determination of the rate constant at a series of temperatures up to 200°C, it was possible to obtain a value for the activation energy and entropy change for each compound, and so gain an idea of the different chemical influences that govern the rate of reaction. It was found that increased methyl substitution caused a lowering of the activation energy, and that the mono-methyl and unsubstituted derivatives of cyclohexene appeared to have an anomalously high activation energy in comparison with the cyclopentene or butene-2 analogues. These influences were interpreted in the light of the 'ene' mechanism for the mono-olefins. In the case of the dienes, the evidence points to a normal Diels-Alder type addition reaction. A detailed description of the transition states for these two reactions is given. The entropy change for the reaction was found to remain approximately constant with the different olefins and was correlated with the calculated values for the different intermediates and transition states that have been proposed for these reactions. It was pointed out that the disparity with the data obtained in solution is such that a simple transfer of these conclusions to other systems must be treated with a considerable amount of caution.

title: The Role of the Fatty Acid Signaling Pathway in Dietary-Induced Obesity
Creators: name: Nelson, Melissa N.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: In recent years, dietary fat has been shown to be capable of activing taste receptor cells in the tongue. Fatty acids (FAs), which act as the chemical cue and are found in dietary fat, activate a cellular signaling pathway that results in a unique signal being sent to the brain that is then interpreted as the taste of fat. One important element in this pathway is the ion channel TrpM5. It is responsible for depolarizing the taste cells that are activated by fatty acids; depolarization is an essential step in cellular response, making TrpM5 essential in the functioning of the FA signaling pathway.
To study the potential roles of the FA signaling pathway, a mouse model, in which mice lacked the TrpM5 gene (TrpM5-/-), was used. From this model, I show that TrpM5 is essential for detection of fatty acids in the oral cavity; without TrpM5, mice were not able to detect FAs in the mouth. I also show here that TrpM5-/- mice eat significantly less and gain significantly less weight on a high fat diet than wildtype mice, who have the TrpM5 gene, linking TrpM5 to both fat intake and weight gain. Interestingly, these responses are only seen in male mice. Females lacking TrpM5 show no deficit in calorie intake compared to the wildtype females. Despite taking in the same amount of calories as the wildtype females, TrpM5-/- females still gain significantly less weight than the wildtypes. This posits a sex-specific response in terms of calorie intake on a high fat diet. Additionally, I show that the TrpM5 pathway is specific for a subtype of fatty acids, primarily the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and does not contribute to saturated fatty acid taste transduction. Lastly, in this study I show that both male and female mice who do not have TrpM5 excrete significantly less lipids in their feces than the wildtype mice; surprisingly not implicating TrpM5 in fat malabsorption. We are currently looking for other roles of TrpM5 in fat metabolism.

title: The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: The Challenge of Economic and Political Integration
Creators: name: Xiao, Yuchen
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2025

description: The development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), officially launched with the release of its Outline Development Plan in 2019, represents a pivotal moment in economic and political integration. This abstract synthesizes a study examining such integration within the GBA, which uniquely encompasses two different governance systems, three currencies, and three customs territories―a distinctive arrangement compared to other global bay areas such as those in Japan and the United States.
The GBA agenda was situated with the context of lessons from other political and economic integration processes, specifically in the European Union (EU), the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and three bay areas (Tokyo, New York, and San Francisco). This study is also framed within a substantive academic literature concerning economic and political integration processes, asymmetrical federalism, institutionalism, and industrial-innovation clusters. This research utilized a mixed-method approach, combining semi-structured interviews and documentary analysis. Those interviews were conducted with 68 individuals residing and working within the GBA.
Progress was discussed in relation to employment and recruitment issues, trade, banking and finance and transportation and public perceptions of success. The study also considered obstacles in the implementation of this agenda resulting from regulatory or organizational cultures, government, social or cultural dysfunction, contrasting legal regimes, labour mobility and education, distinctive currencies and monetary regimes, identity differences and COVID-19. In the final chapter, these findings were discussed through the academic literature specified in earlier the thesis, and recommendations to facilitate the GBA’s development were outlined.

title: Maximum Likelihood Temperature/Emissivity Separation of Hyperspectral Images with Gaussian Distributed Downwelling Radiance
Creators: name: Neal, David A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Hyperspectral images are made up of energy measurements at different wavelengths of light. The case is considered where these measurements are dependent on temperature, the self-emitted energy (emissivity), and reflected energy (downwelling radiance) from the surroundings. The process where the downwelling radiance is fixed and the temperature and emissivity are estimated is referred to as temperature/emissivity separation.
Due to the way these terms mix, for a given set of measurements, there exist many pairs of temperatures and emissivities that satisfy the model. This creates ambiguity in the solution that must be resolved for the result to have any significance.
A new model is developed which reduces this ambiguity. This model is used to form an objective function. The temperature and emissivity which maximize the value of the objective function are solved for given a set of measurements.
As part of the solution, a new algorithm is developed which exploits the shape of the objective function to estimate the temperature and emissivity quickly and accurately. Extensive testing of this algorithm is performed to gain an understanding of its average speed and accuracy.

description: From a system consisting of a right non-degenerate ring $R$, a pair of $R$-bimodules $Q$ and $P$ and an $R$-bimodule homomorphism $ψ:P\otimes Q\longrightarrow R$ we construct a $\Z$-graded ring $\mathcal{T}_{(P,Q,ψ)}$ called the Toeplitz ring and (for certain systems) a $\Z$-graded quotient $\mathcal{O}_{(P,Q,ψ)}$ of $\mathcal{T}_{(P,Q,ψ)}$ called the Cuntz-Pimsner ring. These rings are the algebraic analogs of the Toeplitz $C^*$-algebra and the Cuntz-Pimsner $C^*$-algebra associated to a $C^*$-correspondence (also called a Hilbert bimodule). This new construction generalizes for example the algebraic crossed product by a single automorphism, corner skew Laurent polynomial ring by a single corner automorphism and Leavitt path algebras. We also describe the structure of the graded ideals of our graded rings in terms of pairs of ideals of the coefficient ring.

title: Parent Perspectives on Preparing Students with Intellectual Disabilities for Inclusive Postsecondary Education
Creators: name: Sheen, Jeff C.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: There are a greater number of inclusive postsecondary education (PSE) programs for students with intellectual disabilities (ID) in the U.S. than ever before. Consequently, there are a greater number of students with ID who now have the opportunity to participate in fully inclusive PSE programs with the intent of improving their transition outcomes related to employment, independent living, and quality of life. For students with ID to get the most out of these expanding PSE opportunities, it is imperative that they develop the personal competencies that will better prepare them to participate in such programs. The current study began the exploratory process of identifying, from a parent perspective, the personal competencies related to inclusive PSE readiness for students with intellectual disabilities in the broad categories of (a) the personal skills, (b) knowledge, and (c) attributes. This purpose was achieved by using a three-round Delphi survey, administered to a sample of parents of students with ID who have participated in one of the 44 federally funded Transition and Postsecondary Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities (TPSIDs). The first round of the survey generated 56 items that participants in Round Two then rated on a 7-point scale of importance related to preparing students with ID for participation in inclusive PSE. In the final round of the Delphi survey, participants were provided with the mean, standard deviation, and frequency distribution for each of the 56 items from Round Two and asked to rerate each item based on the additional information provided. In Round Three the expert panel of parents gained consensus on 33 items related to personal skills, knowledge, and attributes they deemed important for students with ID to develop in order to be prepared for an inclusive PSE program. Results of the study were discussed in the context of the literature related to personal competencies for college readiness for students with and without ID. Additionally, implications, limitations, and recommendations for future research were discussed.

description: We apply the atom-atom potentials to molecular crystals of iron (II) complexes with bulky organic ligands. The crystals under study are formed by low-spin or high-spin molecules of Fe(phen)$_{2}$(NCS)$_{2}$ (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), Fe(btz)$_{2}$(NCS)$_{2}$ (btz = 5,5$^{\prime }$,6,6$^{\prime}$-tetrahydro-4\textit{H},4$^{\prime}$\textit{H}-2,2$^{\prime }$-bi-1,3-thiazine), and Fe(bpz)$_{2}$(bipy) (bpz = dihydrobis(1-pyrazolil)borate, and bipy = 2,2$^{\prime}$-bipyridine). All molecular geometries are taken from the X-ray experimental data and assumed to be frozen. The unit cell dimensions and angles, positions of the centers of masses of molecules, and the orientations of molecules corresponding to the minimum energy at 1 atm and 1 GPa are calculated. The optimized crystal structures are in a good agreement with the experimental data. Sources of the residual discrepancies between the calculated and experimental structures are discussed. The intermolecular contributions to the enthalpy of the spin transitions are found to be comparable with its total experimental values. It demonstrates that the method of atom-atom potentials is very useful for modeling organometalic crystals undergoing the spin transitions.

title: Modeling De Novo Granulation of Anaerobic Sludge
Creators: name: Varghese, Honey
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The enigma of anaerobic sludge granulations is still exciting the minds of both experimental scientists and modeling experts. A unique combination of mechanical, physiochemical and biological forces influence granulation during processes of anaerobic digestion. However, knowledge of potential driving forces of granulation has not been transformed into a comprehensive model of anaerobic granulation. In this computational experiment, we address the role physiochemical and biological processes play in granulation and provide a literature-validated working model of anaerobic granule de novo formation. The model developed in a cDynoMiCs simulation environment successfully demonstrated a de novo granulation in a glucose fed system. The simulated granules exhibit experimental observations of radial stratification: A central dead core surrounded by methanogens then encased in acidogens. Practical applications of the granulation model was assessed on the anaerobic digestion of low-strength wastewater by measuring the changes in methane yield as model parameters were systematically swept. This model will be expanded in the future to investigate the influence of mechanical forces on the de novo granulation and the application of a model to anaerobic digestion of a complex protein-carbohydrate rich feedstock.

description: Measurements of the asymmetry of the emission peaks in the core of the Ca II H line for 105 giant stars are reported. The asymmetry is quantified with the parameter V/R, defined as the ratio between the maximum number of counts in the blueward peak and the redward peak of the emission profile. The Ca II H and K emission lines probe the differential motion of certain chromospheric layers in the stellar atmosphere. Data on V/R for the Ca II K line are drawn from previous papers and compared to the analogous H line ratio, the H and K spectra being from the same sets of observations. It is found that the H line V/R value is +0.04 larger, on average, than the equivalent K line ratio, however, the difference varies with B-V color. Red giants cooler than B-V = 1.2 are more likely to have the H line V/R larger than the K line V/R, whereas the opposite is true for giants hotter than B-V = 1.2. The differences between the Ca II H and K line asymmetries could be caused by the layers of chromospheric material from which these emission features arise moving with different velocities in an expanding outflow.

description: We report the discovery of a trend of increasing barium abundance with decreasing age for a large sample of Galactic open clusters. The observed pattern of [Ba/Fe] vs. age can be reproduced with a Galactic chemical evolution model only assuming a higher Ba yield from the $s$-process in low-mass stars than the average one suggested by parametrized models of neutron-capture nucleosynthesis. We show that this is possible in a scenario where the efficiency of the extra-mixing processes producing the neutron source $^{13}$C is anti-correlated with the initial mass, with a larger efficiency for lower masses. This is similar to the known trend of extended mixing episodes acting in H-rich layers and might suggest a common physical mechanism.

The open-air classroom : a preliminary study of outdoor classrooms for primary schools in Malaysia
Creators: name: Yaman, Maheran
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: My research is based on the hypothesis that the increased use of outdoor classrooms in primary education in Malaysia could provide many benefits to Malaysian society. These include environmental, social and cost benefits, additional space for students, significant learning opportunities and improved thermal comfort in primary school buildings. This research analyses provides qualitative and quantitative data to inform the design of a prototypical model of structures achieving cost-effective solutions, while providing a significant improvement in perceived human comfort within schools. It was hypothesised that the cost-saving achieved by the use of such structures for outdoor classrooms could be used to improve the landscaping on school sites. The research sought to explain, from an historical perspective, how the current situation with regard to the provision of school buildings in Malaysia has arisen and to develop appropriate recommendations for improvements based on Malaysia's culture, heritage and stakeholders' opinions. By means of a qualitative survey of opinions of building professional and teachers the research sought to establish if a need exists to improve teaching and learning spaces in Malaysian primary schools. The research also sought to establish to what extent contemporary educational theories have influenced Malaysian teachers' views about the educational needs of students and how these might best be achieved in relation to teaching and learning spaces in government funded Malaysian primary schools. The research also aimed to ascertain the type of structures that might be suitable to improve the existing built infrastructure in fully funded Malaysian government primary schools. On the basis of costing studies, construction considerations, functional requirements and suitability to the Malaysian environment, it has been possible to develop a hypothetical model. Finally, suggestions for future research into primary school design based on the key assessment criteria detailed in this thesis are provided.

description: The Integrated Training Actions Program (AFIN) benefited third-year high school students and graduated from Public Schools, with preference for low-income people to prepare competing in public universities. The project was linked to the Pro-rectory of Extension and Culture (PROEXC) of the Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU) and was developed in Patos de Minas campus, from August 2016 to January 2017. The 11 available places were filled with undergraduate students in Biotechnology, Food Engineering and Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications through public notices. The intention of the program was prepare students to teach them with more charged content on ENEM and guide the application process of Unified Selection System (SISU) and also how care projects work within universities.
Photochemistry of Diels-Alder adducts

description: The photochemistry of a variety of Diels-Alder adducts of general structure I has been investigated. The adducts chosen for study were those formed between the dienophiles p-benzoquinone, 1,4-naphthoquinone, and duroquinone and the dienes 2,3-dimethylbutadiene, trans,trans-2,4-hexadiene, 2-methylbutadiene, and 1,3-pentadiene. Three substituent-dependent photochemical reaction types were observed: (1) For adducts with C₅α and/or C₈α methyl groups, γ-hydrogen abstraction was preferred and led to the novel ring system II. (2) For adducts lacking these γ-hydrogen atoms, an unusual new reaction course prevailed. This consisted of β-hydrogen atom abstraction from C₅ (or equivalently C₈) to give the diradical III. Closure of this diallylic diradical in three of the possible four ways (1,6-bonding, 3,8-bonding and 3,6-bonding) and subsequent ketonization gave the observed products of general structure IV, V and VI respectively, although not all three products were observed in each case. The relative amounts of these products were strongly solvent dependent. A methyl group at C₆ directed the β -hydrogen abstraction to the C₈ position in accord with expectations based on radical stability. This same overall reactivity obtained for the corresponding naphthoquinone Diels-Alder adducts. (3) Finally, for the duroquinone-2,3-dimethylbutadiene adduct an unusual cyclobutanone-con- taining photoproduct VII was observed in addition to those resulting from β -hydrogen abstraction. Based on deuterium labeling studies, this product was suggested to arise via direct C₈ hydrogen abstraction by the C₃ enone carbon atom followed by 2,8 bonding. Photoproducts of the type IV,VI and VII undergo novel thermal rearrangements for which mechanisms are proposed. In addition ene-dione VII undergoes a particularly intriguing base-catalyzed rearrangement which is formally the result of a 1,2-carbanionic shift. In summary, the photochemical reactions described demonstrate interesting variations on the familiar γ-hydrogen abstraction process, show the feasibility and preliminary scope of excited state β-hydrogen abstraction processes (heretofore virtually unknown), and appear to provide a general method for the synthesis of tricyclic ring systems of the type II and V which are closely related to certain naturally occurring sesquiterpenes.

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.
