description: Bioremediation is one of the commonly applied remediation strategies at sites contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, remediation goals are typically based on removal of the target contaminants rather than on broader measures related to health risks. We investigated changes in the toxicity and genotoxicity of PAH-contaminated soil from a former manufactured-gas plant site before and after two simulated bioremediation processes: a sequencing batch bioreactor system and a continuous-flow column system. Toxicity and genotoxicity of the residues from solvent extracts of the soil were determined by the chicken DT40 B-lymphocyte isogenic cell line and its DNA-repair-deficient mutants. Although both bioremediation processes significantly removed PAHs from the contaminated soil (bioreactor 69% removal; column 84% removal), bioreactor treatment resulted in an increase in toxicity and genotoxicity over the course of a treatment cycle, whereas long-term column treatment resulted in a decrease in toxicity and genotoxicity. However, when screening with a battery of DT40 mutants for genotoxicity profiling, we found that column treatment induced DNA damage types that were not observed in untreated soil. Toxicity and genotoxicity bioassays can supplement chemical analysis-based risk assessment for contaminated soil when evaluating the efficacy of bioremediation.

description: Ponds receiving latrine effluents may serve as sources of fecal contamination to shallow aquifers tapped by millions of tube-wells in Bangladesh. To test this hypothesis, transects of monitoring wells radiating away from four ponds were installed in a shallow sandy aquifer underlying a densely populated village and monitored for 14 months. Two of the ponds extended to medium sand. Another pond was sited within silty sand and the last in silt. The fecal indicator bacterium E. coli was rarely detected along the transects during the dry season and was only detected near the ponds extending to medium sand up to 7 m away during the monsoon. A log-linear decline in E. coli and Bacteroidales concentrations with distance along the transects in the early monsoon indicates that ponds excavated in medium sand were the likely source of contamination. Spatial removal rates ranged from 0.5-1.3 log10/m. After the ponds were artificially filled with groundwater to simulate the impact of a rain storm, E. coli levels increased near a pond recently excavated in medium sand, but no others. These observations show that adjacent sediment grain-size and how recently a pond was excavated influence how much fecal contamination ponds receiving latrine effluents contribute to neighboring groundwater.

description: We describe simple properties of some soups of unoriented Markov loops and of some soups of oriented Markov loops that can be interpreted as a spatial Markov property of these loop-soups. This property of the latter soup is related to well-known features of the uniform spanning trees (such as Wilson's algorithm) while the Markov property of the former soup is related to the Gaussian Free Field and to identities used in the foundational papers of Symanzik, Nelson, and of Brydges, Fröhlich and Spencer or Dynkin, or more recently by Le Jan.

description: One of the most widely used in vitro particulate matter (PM) exposures methods is the collection of PM on filters, followed by resuspension in a liquid medium, with subsequent addition onto a cell culture. To avoid disruption of equilibria between gases and PM, we have developed a direct in vitro sampling and exposure method (DSEM) capable of PM-only exposures. We hypothesize that the separation of phases and post-treatment of filter-collected PM significantly modifies the toxicity of the PM compared to direct deposition, resulting in a distorted view of the potential PM health effects.

description: To say drawing, as well as saying image or model, is to synthesize too many issues into a single word. What manner, method, and technique of drawing are of interest to those teaching architectural design? Drawing by hand, doing it with the computer, drawing by assembling pre-existing elements: the ways of acting to bring about an original document are numerous, and each represents within itself a vast and heterogeneous set. All of these are legitimate ways of drawing and perhaps useful in the teaching and learning of architectural design. Digital drawing is an indispensable practice: mass university no longer has the physical infrastructure and human capital required to manage student education in hand drawing. In the short semester and the few hours of design studio courses, it would be impossible to carry out a complex, multi-scale, interdisciplinary design exercise that is capable of being contextualized and truly measured against the thematic, conceptual, and physical difficulties defined by individual educational programs. These notes, perhaps useful for outlining a possible semantics of digital drawing in the pedagogical field, are aimed at investigating the structural framework of the student-computer-teacher relationship, beyond rhetoric, and aware that vector drawing in CAD is probably already part of the digital past. An attempt, therefore, to try to bring attention back to a phenomenon – vector drawing – still perhaps too young to be relegated to a segment of technological archaeology.

description: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) based techniques are cost-effective and efficient methods used by state agencies and epidemiology researchers for estimating concentration and exposure. However, budget limitations have made statewide assessments of contamination difficult, especially in groundwater media. Many studies have implemented address geocoding, land use regression, and geostatistics independently, but this is the first to examine the benefits of integrating these GIS techniques to address the need of statewide exposure assessments. A novel framework for concentration exposure is introduced that integrates address geocoding, land use regression (LUR), below detect data modeling, and Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME). A LUR model was developed for Tetrachloroethylene that accounts for point sources and flow direction. We then integrate the LUR model into the BME method as a mean trend while also modeling below detects data as a truncated Gaussian probability distribution function. We increase available PCE data 4.7 times from previously available databases through multistage geocoding. The LUR model shows significant influence of dry cleaners at short ranges. The integration of the LUR model as mean trend in BME results in a 7.5% decrease in cross validation mean square error compared to BME with a constant mean trend.

description: Isoprene epoxydiols (IEPOX), formed from the photooxidation of isoprene under low-NOx conditions, have recently been proposed as precursors of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) on the basis of mass spectrometric evidence. In the present study, IEPOX isomers were synthesized in high purity (> 99%) to investigate their potential to form SOA via reactive uptake in a series of controlled dark chamber studies followed by reaction product analyses. IEPOX-derived SOA was substantially observed only in the presence of acidic aerosols, with conservative lower-bound yields of 4.7–6.4% for β-IEPOX and 3.4–5.5% for δ-IEPOX, providing direct evidence for IEPOX isomers as precursors to isoprene SOA. These chamber studies demonstrate that IEPOX uptake explains the formation of known isoprene SOA tracers found in ambient aerosols, including 2-methyltetrols, C5-alkene triols, dimers, and IEPOX-derived organosulfates. Additionally, we show reactive uptake on the acidified sulfate aerosols supports a previously unreported acid-catalyzed intramolecular rearrangement of IEPOX to cis- and trans-3-methyltetrahydrofuran-3,4-diols (3-MeTHF-3,4-diols) in the particle phase. Analysis of these novel tracer compounds by aerosol mass spectrometry (AMS) suggests that they contribute to a unique factor resolved from positive matrix factorization (PMF) of AMS organic aerosol spectra collected from low-NOx, isoprene-dominated regions influenced by the presence of acidic aerosols.

description: This experimental study investigates the use of alkaline and alkaline-polymer solutions for the mobilization of former manufactured gas plant (FMGP) tars. Tar-aqueous interfacial tensions (IFTs) and contact angles were measured, and column flushing experiments were conducted. NaOH solutions (0.01–1 wt.%) were found to significantly reduce tar-aqueous IFT. Contact angles indicated a shift to strongly water-wet, then to tar-wet conditions as NaOH concentration increased. Column experiments were conducted with flushing solutions containing 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5% NaOH, both with and without xanthan gum (XG). Between 10 and 44% of the residual tar was removed by solutions containing only NaOH, while solutions containing both NaOH and XG removed 81–93% of the tar with final tar saturations as low as 0.018. The mechanism responsible for the tar removal is likely a combination of reduced IFT, a favorable viscosity ratio, and tar bank formation. Such an approach may have practical applications and would be significantly less expensive than surfactant-based methods.

description: Borrowing in texts for special purposes – classification and theoretical problems This paper discusses the issue of borrowing in texts for special purposes, Foreign elements in LSP texts are classified into terminological loanwords, non-terminological loanwords and grammatical borrowings. A number of theoretical issues are raised, including the status of terminological borrowing against the traditional distinction of core vs. cultural borrowing, the notion of term-formation patterns, the international status of analytical terms and Neoclassical elements in terms, the salience of natiolectal and domain-specific term-formation patterns and the frequent borrowing of metaphorical and syntactically incompatible English terms into Polish. Non-terminological loanwords are discussed next and the “masking” of certain cases of grammatical borrowing as lexical borrowing is emphasised. Finally, two cases of borrowing originally limited to translated texts are presented and commented on in terms of their potential for dissemination in original Polish texts.

description: We introduce a new family of $N$-dimensional quantum superintegrable model consisting of double singular oscillators of type $(n,N-n)$. The special cases $(2,2)$ and $(4,4)$ were previously identified as the duals of 3- and 5-dimensional deformed Kepler-Coulomb systems with $u(1)$ and $su(2)$ monopoles respectively. The models are multiseparable and their wave functions are obtained in $(n,N-n)$ double-hyperspherical coordinates. We obtain the integrals of motion and construct the finitely generated polynomial algebra that is the direct sum of a quadratic algebra $Q(3)$ involving three generators, $so(n)$, $so(N-n)$ (i.e. $Q(3)\oplus so(n) \oplus so(N-n)$ ). The structure constants of the quadratic algebra themselves involve the Casimir operators of the two Lie algebras $so(n)$ and $so(N-n)$. Moreover, we obtain the finite dimensional unitary representations (unirreps) of the quadratic algebra and present an algebraic derivation of the degenerate energy spectrum of the superintegrable model.

The definition covers several constructs that were not discussed in earlier work on the semantics of that language, including intervals, pools, division of integers, aggregates with non-numeric values, and lparse-style aggregate expressions. The definition is abstract in the sense that it disregards some details related to representing programs by strings of ASCII characters. It serves as a specification for GRINGO from Version 4.5 on.

They are not only the concentration camps witnesses, but also recognised writers. Their testimonies, Levi’s If this is a man and Herling-Grudziński’s Another world, are appreciated not only as historical documents, but also for their literary value. Even though their experiences are incomparable, they use similar techniques to describe them. In order to represent the reality of the concentration camp they use foreign words, numbers, technical terms but also animal metaphors and intertextual references, both Levi and Herling-Grudziński resort to the great authors of the past, like Dante or Dostoyevski.

description: 2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) is an important biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emitted by pine trees and a potential precursor of atmospheric secondary organic aerosol (SOA) in forested regions. In the present study, hydroxyl radical (OH)-initiated oxidation of MBO was examined in smog chambers under varied initial nitric oxide (NO) and aerosol acidity levels. Results indicate measurable SOA from MBO under low-NO conditions. Moreover, increasing aerosol acidity was found to enhance MBO SOA. Chemical characterization of laboratory-generated MBO SOA reveals that an organosulfate species (C5H12O6S, MW 200) formed and was substantially enhanced with elevated aerosol acidity. Ambient fine aerosol (PM2.5) samples collected from the BEARPEX campaign during 2007 and 2009, as well as from the BEACHON-RoMBAS campaign during 2011, were also analyzed. The MBO-derived organosulfate characterized from laboratory-generated aerosol was observed in PM2.5 collected from these campaigns, demonstrating that it is a molecular tracer for MBO-initiated SOA in the atmosphere. Furthermore, mass concentrations of the MBO-derived organosulfate are well correlated with MBO mixing ratio, temperature, and acidity in the field campaigns. Importantly, this compound accounted for an average of 0.25% and as high as 1% of the total organic aerosol mass during BEARPEX 2009. An epoxide intermediate generated under low-NO conditions is tentatively proposed to produce MBO SOA.

description: Airborne fine particulate matter exhibits spatiotemporal variability at multiple scales, which presents challenges to estimating exposures for health effects assessment. Here we created an model to predict ambient particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) across the contiguous United States to be applied to health effects modeling. We developed a hybrid approach combining a land use regression model (LUR) selected with a machine learning method, and Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) interpolation of the LUR space-time residuals. The PM2.5 dataset included 104,172 monthly observations at 1,464 monitoring locations with approximately 10% of locations reserved for cross-validation. LUR models were based on remote sensing estimates of PM2.5, land use and traffic indicators. Normalized cross-validated R2 values for LUR were 0.63 and 0.11 with and without remote sensing, respectively, suggesting remote sensing is a strong predictor of ground-level concentrations. In the models including the BME interpolation of the residuals, cross-validated R2 were 0.79 for both configurations; the model without remotely sensed data described more fine-scale variation than the model including remote sensing. Our results suggest that our modeling framework can predict ground-level concentrations of PM2.5 at multiple scales over the contiguous U.S.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.
Non lo faccio più. La violenza di genere nelle opere di Cristina Obber

description: Non lo faccio più. The gender-based violence in the works of Cristina Obber Although Italy is one of the most developed countries of the world, several surveys point out that the gender-based violence and the femicide are becoming an increasingly serious problem in the country. According to many sociologists, this phenomenon comes from the survival, in the soul of many Italian men, of a very traditional view about the relationship between the two genders, based on inequality and oppression of women. The article takes into exam the novels and essays of Cristina Obber, in which the writer represents many different forms of physical and psychological violence against women: the one committed by partners and the violence which stems from religious fanaticism and homophobia.

description: Objective: To quantify racial, ethnic, and income-based disparities in home health (HH) patients’ functional improvement within and between HH agencies (HHAs). Data Sources: 2016-2017 Outcome and Assessment Information Set, Medicare Beneficiary Summary File, and Census data. Study Design: We use a multinomial-logit analyses with and without HHA fixed effects. The outcome is a mutually exclusive five-category outcome; (1) discharged with functional improvement; (2) discharged without functional improvement; (3) death while still a patient; (4) transfer to inpatient setting; and (5) still using HH as of December 31, 2017. The adjusted outcome rates are calculated by race, ethnicity, and income level using predictive margins. Principal Findings: Of the 3+ million Medicare beneficiaries with a HH start-of-care assessment in 2016, 69% experienced functional improvement at discharge, 7% were discharged without functional improvement, 0.4% died, 20% were transferred to an inpatient setting, and 4% continued using HH. Adjusting for selected individual-level characteristics, Black and low-income HH patients had a lower adjusted rate of functional improvement at discharge (-1.1pp (95% CI: -1.4, -0.7) -4.4pp; (95% CI: -4.6, -4.1), respectively), as compared to their White and higher income counterparts. Additionally, Black, Hispanic/Latine, and low-income HH patients were all more likely to be discharged without functional improvement (1.2pp (95% CI: 0.9, 1.4), 1.2pp (95% CI: 0.7, 1.7), 0.5pp (95% CI:0.4, 0.6), respectively) compared to their White and higher income counterparts. After including HHA fixed effects, the differences for Black and Hispanic/Latine HH patients are generally mitigated. However, outcome disparities for all low-income HH patients persists within HHAs. Conclusions: A large part of the overall disparity in functional outcomes among Black, Hispanic/Latine, and low-income home health patients is attributable to agencies’ characteristics; therefore, improving access to higher quality HH services for our most vulnerable HH patients is imperative to improve outcomes.

An LUR/BME Framework to Estimate PM 2.5 Explained by on Road Mobile and Stationary Sources

description: Knowledge of particulate matter concentrations <2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5) across the United States is limited due to sparse monitoring across space and time. Epidemiological studies need accurate exposure estimates in order to properly investigate potential morbidity and mortality. Previous works have used geostatistics and land use regression (LUR) separately to quantify exposure. This work combines both methods by incorporating a large area variability LUR model that accounts for on road mobile emissions and stationary source emissions along with data that take into account incompleteness of PM2.5 monitors into the modern geostatistical Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) framework to estimate PM2.5 across the United States from 1999 to 2009. A cross-validation was done to determine the improvement of the estimate due to the LUR incorporation into BME. These results were applied to known diseases to determine predicted mortality coming from total PM2.5 as well as PM2.5 explained by major contributing sources. This method showed a mean squared error reduction of over 21.89% oversimple kriging. PM2.5 explained by on road mobile emissions and stationary emissions contributed to nearly 568 090 and 306 316 deaths, respectively, across the United States from 1999 to 2007.

description: Nitrate (NO3–) is a widespread contaminant of groundwater and surface water across the United States that has deleterious effects to human and ecological health. This study develops a model for predicting point-level groundwater NO3– at a state scale for monitoring wells and private wells of North Carolina. A land use regression (LUR) model selection procedure is developed for determining nonlinear model explanatory variables when they are known to be correlated. Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) is used to integrate the LUR model to create a LUR-BME model of spatial/temporal varying groundwater NO3– concentrations. LUR-BME results in a leave-one-out cross-validation r2 of 0.74 and 0.33 for monitoring and private wells, effectively predicting within spatial covariance ranges. Results show significant differences in the spatial distribution of groundwater NO3– contamination in monitoring versus private wells; high NO3– concentrations in the southeastern plains of North Carolina; and wastewater treatment residuals and swine confined animal feeding operations as local sources of NO3– in monitoring wells. Results are of interest to agencies that regulate drinking water sources or monitor health outcomes from ingestion of drinking water. Lastly, LUR-BME model estimates can be integrated into surface water models for more accurate management of nonpoint sources of nitrogen.

description: A. Conan Doyle’s story The Hound of the Baskervilles and its film-version by I. Maslennikov in a context of a cultural transfer theory In article the problem of a film adaptation of a literary work in a context of a cultural transfer theory is investigated. On a material of the Soviet film adaptation of A. Conan Doyle’s story The Hound of the Baskervilles is analyzed process direct and inversive assignments of other culture elements, which result becomes introduction in use of concepts “Russian Sherlock Holmes”, “Russian England”. The strategy of game realized in game behaviour of characters, has allowed the Soviet director to pass the parodicalironic tone, inherent in the Victorian epoch. Created by the Soviet director in The Hound of the Baskervilles an image of Russian England and the Russian Englishmen-heroes who have taken roots in Russian national cultural ground, the initial English culture has apprehended as own, durably identifying Konan Doyle`s characters with Russian actors – V. Livanov, V. Solomin, N. Mikhalkov, etc.

L’opera al nero. Segno e disegno in Ivan Leonidov

description: Ivan Leonidov’s graphic talent is universally known today as it already was among his contemporaries, including the many detractors existing in the Soviet Union at the time. Above all, his fame is due to the stupendous collection of very elegant square-format drawings, made of almost luminescent white lines on a black background, published by the journals “SA-Sovremmenaja Architektura” between 1926 and 1930. From the 1930s a denser graphics, influenced by a renewed interest in popular Russian folklore as well as in the warmer tones of nineteenth-century painting (Repin, Kramskoij, Bakst, Levitan) appeared in his works. A formal register no longer oriented towards the West and the future, purified by suprematist abstractionism, and oriented towards the neo-Scythian, Great Russian and Eastern art tradition, within the frame of that global, eclectic experience that was the Stalinist architecture.
In the twilight of his production and his life, the last melancholy post-war architectural fantasies, in which all the architectural forms experimented during a tormented career aligned in a single, coherent, fantastic universe made of buildings of dreamlike and diaphanous quality.
