description: Tiger nut (Cyperus esculentus L.) has recently attracted increasing interest from scientific and technological communities because of its potential for serving as additional source of food, oil, and feed. The present study reports morphology and biochemical characterization of 42 tiger nut accessions collected from China and other counties performed in the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons at Nongan, Jilin Province. Assessment of variability of 14 agronomic traits including plant height, maturation, leaf width, tilling number, color, size, and shape: 100-tuber weight showed a wide range of phenotypic variation. The color, size, and shape and maturation of the tubers, as well as the leaf width, were the most distinct characteristics describing variation among the accessions. Compositional analyses of major nutritional components of the tubers reveals that this crop could be a source of high-value proteins, fatty acids, and carbohydrates. Specifically, tiger nut tubers contained high levels of starch, oil, and sugars, and significant amounts of fiber, Ca, P, and Na. Furthermore, the tubers appeared to be a good source of proteins as they contain 16 amino acids, including the essential ones. Amino acid profiles were dominated by aspartic acid followed by glutamic acid, leucine, alanine, and arginine. Overall, these results demonstrated that tiger nut is well adapted to the temperature and light conditions in the north temperate zone of China, even with a shorter growth season. The tiger nut accessions collected here exhibited wide variations for agronomical and biochemical traits, suggesting potential for potential for breeding improvement by maximizing the fresh tuber and grass yield based on the optimal selection of genetic characteristics in climate and soil conditions of northern China.

Vulnerability Detection Through Binary Code Analysis
Creators: name: Liu, Zian
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Vulnerability detection plays a crucial role in the software security community. Vulnerabilities can be categorized into two types: 1-day or N-day vulnerability, and 0-day vulnerability. The first category includes vulnerabilities that are already publicly known. One way to identify these vulnerabilities is to search for similar patterns or code logic, as program code often reuses existing vulnerable functions. The second category refers to the vulnerabilities that have not been previously discovered, and thus contain new patterns and logic. Researchers can employ a range of binary code analysis techniques to detect both two types of vulnerabilities. I proposed novel methodologies to find the vulnerabilities in binary code. This can potentially help the industry become a more secure place.

description: Indoor air in residential dwellings can contain a variety of chemicals, sometimes present at concentrations or in combinations which can have a negative impact on human health. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) surveys are often required to characterize human exposure or to investigate IAQ concerns and complaints. Such surveys should include sufficient contextual information to elucidate sources, pathways, and the magnitude of exposures. The aim of this review was to investigate and describe the parameters that affect IAQ in residential dwellings: building location, layout, and ventilation, finishing materials, occupant activities, and occupant demography. About 180 peer-reviewed articles, published from 01/2013 to 09/2021 (plus some important earlier publications), were reviewed. The importance of the building parameters largely depends on the study objectives and whether the focus is on a specific pollutant or to assess health risk. When considering classical pollutants such as particulate matter (PM) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the building parameters can have a significant impact on IAQ, and detailed information of these parameters needs to be reported in each study. Research gaps and suggestions for the future studies together with recommendation of where measurements should be done are also provided. © 2022 The Authors.

description: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective chemotherapeutic agent widely used for cancer treatment. However, hypoxia in tumour tissue and obvious adverse effects particularly cardiotoxicity restricts the clinical usage of DOX. Our study is based on the co-administration of haemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs) and DOX in a breast cancer model to investigate HBOCs’ ability to enhance chemotherapeutic effectiveness and its capabilities to alleviate the side effects induced by DOX. In an in-vitro study, the results suggested the cytotoxicity of DOX was significantly improved when combined with HBOCs in a hypoxic environment, and produced more γ-H2AX indicating higher DNA damage than free DOX did. Compared with administration of free DOX, combined therapy exhibited a stronger tumour suppressive effect in an in-vivo study. Further mechanism studies showed that the expression of various proteins such as hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), CD31, CD34, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in tumour tissues was also significantly reduced in the combined treatment group. In addition, HBOCs can significantly reduce the splenocardiac toxicity induced by DOX, according to the results of the haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and histological investigation. This study suggested that PEG-conjugated bovine haemoglobin may not only reduce the hypoxia in tumours and increase the efficiency of chemotherapeutic agent DOX, but also alleviate the irreversible heart toxicity caused by DOX-inducted splenocardiac dysregulation.

description: An acridone-based, interpenetrated double cage [3BF4Pd4L8] acts as a photosensitizer for generating singlet oxygen which adds to 1,3-cyclohexadiene in a [2+4] hetero-Diels-Alder reaction to form 2,3-dioxabicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-ene. Photocatalytic activity was exclusively observed for the assembled cage, whereas the free organic ligand L decomposes upon irradiation. While cage [3BF4Pd4L8] does not accept any organic guests, NMR, MS and single crystal X-ray results reveal that both substrate and product are readily encapsulated in the central pocket of its chloride-activated form [2Cl@Pd4L8]. The system combines multiple functions (photosensitization, allosteric activation and guest uptake) within a structurally complex, mechanically-bound self-assembly built up from a simple and readily accessible ligand.

description: Two new heterobimetallic cages, atrigonal-bipyr-amidal and acubic one, were assembled from the same mononuclear metalloligand by adopting the molecular library approach,using iron(II) and palladium(II) building blocks. The ligand system was designed to readily assemble through subcomponent self-assembly. It allowed the introduction of steric strain at the iron(II) centres, which stabilizes its para-magnetic high-spin state.This steric strain was utilized to drive dynamic complex-to-complex transformations with both the metalloligand and heterobimetallic cages. Addition of steri-cally less crowded subcomponents as achemical stimulus transformed all complexes to their previously reported low-spin analogues.The metalloligand and bipyramid incorporated the new building blockmore readily than the cubic cage, probably because the geometric structure of the sterically crowded metalloligand favours the cube formation. Further-more it was possible to provokestructural transformations upon addition of more favourable chelating ligands,converting the cubic structures into bipyramidal ones.

description: Background
Exposure to transportation noise showed negative health effects in children and adults. Studies in children mainly focussed on aircraft noise at school.Objectives
We aimed to investigate road traffic noise exposure at home and children's behavioural problems and sleeping problems.Methods872 10-year-old children from Munich from two German population-based, birth-cohort studies with data on modelled façade noise levels at home and behavioural problems were included. Noise was assessed by the day-evening-night noise indicator Lden and the night noise indicator Lnight. Behavioural problems were assessed by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). A subgroup (N=287) had information on sleeping problems. Continuation ratio models (logistic regression models) adjusted for various covariates were applied to investigate the association between interquartile range increases in noise and SDQ scales (sleeping problems).Results
Noise measured by Lden at the most exposed façade of the building was related to more hyperactivity/inattention (continuation odds ratio (cOR)=1.28(95%-confidence interval(CI):1.03-1.58). Noise at the least exposed façade increased the relative odds for having borderline or abnormal values on the emotional symptoms scale, especially the relative odds to have abnormal values for a subject with at least borderline values (Lden:cOR=2.19(95% CI:1.32-3.64). Results for Lnight were similar. Nocturnal noise at the least exposed façade was associated with any sleeping problems (odds ratio (OR)=1.79(95% CI=1.10-2.92)).Conclusions
Road traffic noise exposure at home may be related to increased hyperactivity and more emotional symptoms in children. Future longitudinal studies are required to explore noise exposure and behavioural problems in more detail, especially the role of sleep disturbances.

description: Forest restoration is increasingly becoming a priority at international and national levels. Identifying forest degradation, however, is challenging because its drivers are underlying and site-specific. Existing frameworks and principles for identifying forest degradation are useful at larger scales, however, a framework that includes iterative input from local knowledge-holders would be useful at smaller scales. Here, we present a new mechanism; a framework for developing criteria and indicators that enables an approach for the identification of forest degradation and opportunities for restoration in landscapes that is free from failures that are often inherent to project cycles. The Degradation and Restoration Assessment Mechanism (DReAM) uses an iterative process that is based on local expertise and established regional knowledge to inform what is forest degradation and how to monitor restoration. We tested the mechanism’s utility at several sites in the Lancang-Mekong Region (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam). The application of this mechanism rendered a suite of appropriate criteria and indicators for use in identifying degraded forests which can help inform detailed guidelines to develop rehabilitation approaches. The mechanism is designed to be utilized by any individual or group that is interested in degradation identification and/or rehabilitation assessment.

description: The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon has become a major concern for city sustainability in the wake of global warming and rapid urbanization. This has resulted in increased heat stress and worsened outdoor thermal comfort in urban microclimates. The study demonstrated that outdoor thermal stress pedestrians can be reduced in single streets by adopting mitigation strategies, that is, cool materials, vegetation, and water bodies. In this article, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations using URANS modeling for four different scenarios have been performed to investigate the effectiveness of different mitigation measures in hot, humid urban climates conditions. The reduction of ambient air temperature and surface temperature characterizing the mitigation (cooling) intensity is examined at pedestrian height and diverse vertical levels. The analysis shows that on its own, water provides the largest reduction in air temperature at pedestrian height (2 °C), and cool materials provide a larger reduction in surface temperature (6 °C). When applied individually, cool materials are the more effective in the vertical direction with a UHI mitigation intensity of 1.5 °C, followed by vegetation, with a mitigation intensity of 1.0 °C. Furthermore, the impact (temperature reduction) is more significant when all three measures are combined, with a large reduction of 2 °C in air temperature and 9 °C in surface temperature observed compared to the reference case.

description: The United Nations has designated the Caribbean as “ground zero” in the global climate emergency, warning that, without immediate action, many islands could become uninhabitable. Like other small island nations, Dominica is increasingly vulnerable to climate-related disasters. The devastation of the 2017 and 2018 hurricanes, which wiped out 80% of the nation’s agriculture, underscored this threat. In response, Dominica’s government has committed to becoming the world’s first climate-resilient nation. New economic policy prioritizes tourism over agriculture, marking a significant shift in the country’s economic structure. Given Dominica’s historic ties to agriculture and its natural environment, this transition raises critical questions about whether it will aid declining food security and how it could shift national identity.

description: The project "sustainable bee forest" develops and implements a new forest management concept that improves the habitat of flower-pollinating insects during re- and afforestation from the very beginning while generating new sources of income from non-wood forest products. It is based in the state of Hesse in the middle of Germany, which is one of the most densely forested states in Germany. A quarter of the total forest area in Hesse is privately owned, and one third of this is small-scale private forest is owned by farmers. Because many of them are challenged with forest dieback in the face of climate change, the smallholder farmers are the main target group of the “sustainable bee forest” OG. By focusing on product innovation with NWFP, the OG aims at diversifying sources of income from forest management.

description: Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) content of ruminant milk reported in published research papers (n = 65) fromJanuary 1995 to March 2020 around the world were analyzed to estimate the overall mean CLA value. The CLAcontent of ruminant milk samples was grouped according to geographical regions (Europe, South America, NorthAmerica, Oceania, Asia, and Africa). The total CLA content of milk samples from cows, sheep, goats, yaks, andllama retrieved from the collected data ranged between 0.06 and 2.96% of total fatty acids. There is a widevariation of pooled estimated mean content of CLA in milk among the study regions and were highest in Oceaniawith 1.33% (95% conﬁdence interval (CI): 1.16 – 1.49%) of total fatty acids. Though several factors have beenreported to inﬂuence the CLA content of milk, the eﬀect of the “geographical origin” was only considered in thepresent manuscript as one of the main factors in this respect.

description: Significant efforts have been made to address the hidden hunger challenges due to iron, zinc, iodine, and vitamin A since the beginning of the 21st century. Prioritizing the vitamin A deficiency (VAD) disorders, many countries are looking for viable alternative strategies such as biofortification. One of the leading causes of VAD is the poor bioconversion of β-carotene into retinoids. This review is focused on the opportunities of bacterial biosynthesis of retinoids, in particular, through the gut microbiota. The proposed hypothesis starts with the premise that an animal can able to store and timely convert carotenoids into retinoids in the liver and intestinal tissues. This theory is experimental with many scientific insights. The syntrophic metabolism, potential crosstalk of bile acids, lipocalins and lipopolysaccharides of gut microbiota are reported to contribute significantly to the retinoid biosynthesis. The gut bacteria respond to these kinds of factors by genetic restructuring driven mainly by events like horizontal gene transfer. A phylogenetic analysis of β-carotene 15, 15′-mono (di) oxygenase enzymes among a selected group of prokaryotes and eukaryotes was carried out to validate the hypotheses. Shedding light on the probiotic strategies through non-genetically modified organism such as gut bacteria capable of synthesizing vitamin A would address the VAD disorders.

COMT Genotype, Cognition, and MEG Resting-State Functional Connectivity in Healthy Individuals and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders
Creators: name: Morris, Kim
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The research contained within this thesis investigated schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Approximately 80% of individuals with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder also experience cognitive impairment. This cognitive impairment is associated with reduced quality of life, and likely involves both genetic and environmental factors. The current research investigated how the resting-state function of the brain and cognition in those with schizophrenia spectrum disorders differs to healthy individuals, and the influence of catechol-o-methyltransferase genotype on these differences. Findings represent an addition to the continued multidisciplinary research that will be required to advance knowledge of aetiology and treatment options for those with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.

description: The length–weight relationships (LWR) of the common seadragon Phyllopteryx taeniolatus (Lacepède, 1804) and the leafy seadragon Phycodurus eques (Günther, 1865), Syngnathidae, are presented in this paper, based on specimens raised in the Birch Aquarium at Scripps, La Jolla, California. Furthermore, we used the length at known age of 40 specimens of common and 15 leafy seadragons to estimate the parameter of the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) for these species. Some of the pros and cons of the newly proposed length type used, ‘scalene length’ are presented. The parameters of the LWR and the VBGF parameters are discussed, with an emphasis on the rearing conditions, the peculiar anatomy of seadragons, especially of P. eques, and on the Gill-Oxygen Limitation Theory (GOLT).

description: Outdoor school environments need to be safe, stimulate physical and cognitive development of children and encourage learning. These key requirements are jeopardised by increasing summer heat. Summer heat limits outdoor activities and has adverse effects on physical wellbeing of school children and teachers. Children are particularly vulnerable to heat as they regulate their core temperature through convection, which becomes less effective when it is hot.
Based on empirical data collections, this report provides more than 20 practical recommendations on how to reduce the impacts of outdoor heat. Although these recommendations were devised based on work around a public school in Western Sydney, their universal character allows applying them to any school or other urban build infrastructure. Avoiding the use of artificial grass in unshaded spaces, shading black asphalt, allowing natural air flows and using shade materials with highly reflective upper surfaces should be fundamental principles in design and building guidelines for heat-smart schools.
Theoretical Foundation of the Relationship between Three Definitions of Effective Density and Particle Size
Creators: name: Peng, Long
name: Liu, Yonglin
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2022

description: Effective density (ρe) is universally used in atmospheric science as an alternative measure of the density (ρ) of aerosol particles, and its definitions can be expressed in terms of the particle mass (mp), ρ, mobility diameter (Dm), vacuum aerodynamic diameter (Dva), and dynamic shape factor (χ), as ρeI = 6mp/(π∙Dm3), ρeII = ρ/χ, and ρeIII = Dva/Dm. However, the theoretical foundation of these three definitions of ρe is still poorly understood before their application. Here, we explore the relationship between ρe and aerosol size through theoretical calculation. This study finds, for the first time, that ρeI and ρeIII inherently decrease with increasing size for aspherical particles with a fixed ρ and χ. We further elucidate that these inherent decreasing tendencies are governed by χ, and the ratio of the Cunningham Slip Correction Factor of the volume-equivalent diameter to that of the mobility diameter (Cc(Dve)/Cc(Dm)), but not by ρ. Taking the variable χ into consideration, the relationships of ρeI and ρeIII to particle size become more complicated, which suggests that the values of ρeI and ρeIII have little indication of the size-resolved physicochemical properties of particles. On the contrary, ρeII is independent on size for fixed χ and ρ, which indicates that the change in ρeII with size can better indicate the change in morphology and the transformation of the chemical compositions of particles. Our new insights into the essence of three ρes provide an accurate and crucial theoretical foundation for their application.
A Principal’s Journey to Acceptance in a Small Northern Christian School

In this paper, I will share my story and my experiences with the importance of  acceptance in schools for LGBTQ1A2S+ students. Acceptance of students who identify as  LGBTQ1A2S+ refers to acknowledging, respecting, and embracing people of diverse sexual  orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions without prejudice, discrimination, or bias. This includes accepting them for who they are, affirming their identities, and supporting  their rights to live authentically and freely. Acceptance entails creating inclusive environments  where LGBTQ1A2S+ individuals feel safe, valued, and equal members of society, regardless of  their sexual orientation or gender identity. It involves fostering understanding, empathy, and allyship to promote equality and justice for all members of the LGBTQ1AS+ community. Acceptance is essential for promoting mental well-being, fostering healthy relationships, and building a more inclusive and equitable school for everyone. This paper challenges the beliefs instilled in me by growing up in a Christian home and community. I hope that when others read this paper, they will think about change and accept others as they are. A stone thrown into still water has a ripple effect outward. This is the very same way this paper will have an effect in my community on LGBTQ1A2S+ acceptance. Change always starts somewhere, and sometimes, no matter how small, there will be a difference. When I join in with everything around me, it

shapes who I am. This paper will come from a narrative indigenous perspective on the LGBTQ1A2+ experience. The stories about my travels and experiences I have encountered are all written in this paper in hopes that the paper helps someone in a positive way who is going

through the same struggles. My literature review is significant as a community member and school principal. In our Christian community, we acknowledge the presence of a pressing challenge that revolves around integrating LGBTQ1A2S+ inclusivity within the framework of our faith-based

A PRINCIPAL JOURNEY 3 school. The absence of clear policies, educational initiatives, and dedicated staff members has given rise to an environment where individuals within the LGBTQ1A2S+ community often feel marginalized, misunderstood, and excluded. This disconnect from our Christian values of love, compassion, and acceptance is evident in instances of bullying, discrimination, and emotional distress experienced by LGBTQ1A2S+ individuals among students in our school. “Oma ota ka masinahikiyan. Niteh hik ochi kapiks s\kweyan. Mista hi nimeweten ipakitinkawiyan ta nehiyaw asinahikiyan. We ya kwayask ni pikis kwan kanihiyaweyan maka askayas si yimowin namoya mitoni. Machika ekochi ninanaskomon.” (see Footnote 1)

Integrated Visual Management: A Systematic Approach to Organic Continuous Improvement
Creators: name: Eaidgah Torghabehi, Youness
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: While top-down Continuous Improvement (CI) strategies have received extensive research, bottom-up CI, particularly in its organic form, has received little attention. This study introduces the "Integrated Visual Management” framework (IVM), guiding the design, execution, and embedding of Organic CI. IVM is a bottom-up, process-oriented, project-driven, data-based CI framework. It offers an alternative to the command-and-control management strategies (top-down) and highlights the benefits of empowering employees to drive performance improvements from the bottom of an organisation. This research also offers empirical evidence on the positive relationship between IVM and continual performance improvement. Furthermore, it illustrates IVM's strengths and weaknesses.

description: Biological carbon fixation is essential to the Earth’s carbon cycle and serves as an effective means of converting CO2 and managing carbon emissions. Chemoautotrophic microorganisms, known for their unique metabolic strategies and environmental adaptability, play a significant role in this process. They can convert CO2 into valuable organic products, addressing the otherwise limited use of CO2. However, the potential of chemoautotrophic microorganisms for biological carbon fixation in controlled environments has not been fully explored. This review aims to evaluate the current state of research on the carbon fixation capabilities of chemoautotrophic microorganisms in artificially controlled system. It examines the factors affecting bacterial growth and expounds optimization strategies one by one to enhance biological carbon fixation efficiency. Furthermore, the review details the applications of chemoautotrophs cultivated in controlled systems, which include increasing biological productivity in natural habitats, reducing carbon emissions in specific scenarios, and producing high-value byproducts. The discussion highlights both the advantages and challenges of these applications, providing critical insights into the regulation and practical use of chemoautotrophic carbon fixation technology.
Investigating the Mechanical Behaviour of Epoxy Adhesives for Safety Performance Analysis in Light Vehicle Collisions Repair
Creators: name: Ibrahim, Syed Mohammad Raza
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This research studies the behavior of impact resistant and panel bonding epoxy adhesive joints when subjected to various types of loading configurations. Several mechanical tests and computer simulations were conducted to characterize and study the behavior of the adhesives used. The research found that the adherend (material being bonded) absorbs the large portion of the impact compared to the adhesive. These results can help manufacturers and repairers in the automotive industry to make better informed choices about what kinds of adhesives and adherends should be used in structural applications.
