description: Understanding the complex interactions between proteins and tannins in wines is crucial for assessing wine quality and stability. In this study, we investigated the protein-tannin interactions in Syrah wines using a combination of spectrophotometric and turbidimetric methods. To determine the protein content, we employed the bicinchonic acid assay (BCA), a widely used colorimetric method. Various proteins were used as internal standards for comparative analysis. Additionally, we utilized a turbidimeter alongside a dose-response curve to monitor the formation of haze in a model wine matrix environment, which served as an indicator of protein-tannin interactions across the same suite of proteins. Our results revealed significant interactions between proteins and tannins in Syrah wines, meditated by pH and ethanol content. The BCA assay indicated variations in protein content among the wines tested. Moreover, the turbidimetric analysis demonstrated varying degrees of haze formation, reflecting the diverse protein-tannin complex formations. Our study provides valuable insights into the protein-tannin interactions in Syrah wines and highlights the importance of protein as a factor in red wine quality and stability.

description: The subjective side of kidnapping is characterized by an intentional form of guilt. Guilt is the mental attitude of the guilty person to the act he commits. In kidnapping, the intent in almost every case is premeditated. Thus, there is a gap between the thought of kidnapping and the moment of the implementation of this action. During this time, a person can develop a detailed plan for the abduction: choose the place of the abduction, the appropriate time, study the identity of the victim, find accomplices, and so on. Premeditated intent always indicates a higher social danger. In addition to the premeditated, there is also a sudden intention.

description: We study the single graviton production at the CERN LHC using the $k_T$-factorization approach of QCD. We consider the Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali scenario and Randall-Sundrum model with one warped extra dimension and derive the production amplitudes for spin-2 (Kaluza-Klein excitation of the graviton) and spin-0 (radion) states, including subsequent graviton decay into the dilepton or diphoton pairs. We use the transverse momentum dependent (unintegrated) parton densities in a proton obtained from the Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini evolution equation, which resums the leading logarithmic small-x corrections to the production cross sections, and estimate the uncertainties of our predictions. We demonstrate that the small-$x$ effects can manifest themselves in the different angular distributions of graviton decay products and give some examples of what these distributions can look like at the LHC energies.

Resource allocation optimization for future wireless communication systems
Creators: name: Su, Binbin
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: To meet the ever-increasing requirements of high data rate, extremely low latency, and ubiquitous connectivity for the ﬁfth generation (5G) and beyond 5G (B5G) wireless communications, there is imperious demands for advanced communication system design. Particularly, eﬃcient resource allocation is regarded as the fundamental challenge whereas an eﬀective way to improve system performance. The term ”resource” refers to scare quantities such as limited bandwidth, power and time in wireless communications. Moreover, the development of wireless communication systems is accompanied by the innovation of applied technologies. Motivated by the above observations, eﬃcient resource allocation strategies for several promising 5G and B5G technologies in terms of non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), mobile edge computing (MEC) and Long Range (LoRa) are addressed and investigated in this thesis. Firstly, the strong user’s data rate maximization problem for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT)-enabled cooperative NOMA system, considering the presence of channnel uncertainties, is proposed and investigated. Two major channel uncertainty design criteria in terms of the outage-based constraint design and the worst-case based optimization are adopted. In addition to the high-complexity optimal two-dimensional exhaustive search method, the low-complexity suboptimal solution is further proposed. The advantages of SWIPT-enabled cooperation in robust NOMA are conﬁrmed with simulations. Secondly, considering the application of NOMA and user cooperation (UC) in a wireless powered MEC under the non-linear energy harvesting model, a computation eﬃciency maximization problem subject to the quality of service (QoS) and power budget constraint, is studied and analyzed. The formulated problem is nonconvex, which is challenging to solve. The semideﬁnite relaxation (SDR) approach is ﬁrst applied, then the sequential convex approximation (SCA)-based solution is further proposed to maximize the system computation eﬃciency. Finally, taking into consideration the aspect of energy eﬃciency (EE), this thesis investigates the energy eﬃcient resource allocation in LoRa networks to maximize the system EE (SEE) and the minimal EE (MEE) of LoRa users, respectively. The energy eﬃcient resource allocation is formulated as NP-hard problems. A low-complexity user scheduling scheme based on matching theory is proposed to allocate users to channels, then the heuristic SF assignment solution is designed for LoRa users scheduled on the same channel. The optimal power allocation strategy is further proposed to maximize the corresponding EE.

description: The knowledge and utilization of adult learning principles plays an important role in the development of professional development plans in Head Start programs. There are several theories on how adults learn and under what conditions are optimal. This case study of four Head Start programs in the Pacific Northwest demonstrates how programs are currently using adult learning principles and also indicates areas for potential growth. This study sought to determine (1) how Head Start program directors and education managers describe their professional development programs and processes and (2) in what ways adult learning principles are evidenced in staff development plans in Northwest Head Start programs. The purpose of this dissertation is to study annual program professional development plans in Head Start programs through an adult learning lens.

description: Abstract: ISO 9000 certification is one of the most widely accepted quality assurance systems in world-wide. The primary objective of this study is to examine the relationship between ISO 9000 certification and the levels of total quality management practices of medium and large manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. The design of this research has quantitative approach. Both ISO9000 certified and noncertified firms are included in the survey. From 300 sampled medium and large manufacturing firms a total of 272 valid responses were received. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis such as mean and standard deviation. Inferential statistics was done through T-test.The findings indicate that ISO 9000 certified companies show higher levels of total quality management practices in top management leadership, supply quality management, process management and continuous improvement. Furthermore, the study concludes that when ISO 9000 and TQM are implemented simultaneously, the subsequent benefits to the company are better than those experienced if TQM were implemented in separation

description: In today’s present world, billions of people live without reliable access to clean drinking water, and as populations continue to grow, freshwater sources begin to disappear at an equally rapid pace. In an effort to combat these issues, desalination has been introduced as a solution to abstract water from untouched resources. However, while desalination can produce additional potable water, it is also heavily criticised for its flaws; namely cost, energy consumption, and environmental pollution. Thus, in order to promote desalination as a sustainable solution for both the present day and future, improvements need to be implemented to produce less costly, more energy efficient, and environmentally friendly desalination plants. This paper reviews all of the current desalination methods in today’s global market, evaluating which methods are most sustainable for the future of desalination. Options for renewable energies to replace fossil fuels are also studied, as well as various brine disposal methods which can produce more environmentally safe and sustainable desalination facilities. Among the literature reviewed, reverse osmosis was found to be the world’s most sustainable method of desalination due to its energy efficiency and production capacity, while solar photovoltaics were found to be the popular choice among renewable energies. Zero liquid discharge was also found to be the most environmentally friendly method of brine waste disposal, although research in the field was very limited. Each method was closely evaluated and compared among its competitors, offering a detailed perspective on the sustainable state of desalination.

description: Vanilla (Vanilla planifolia Andr.) is a multipurpose spice in the world. The crop had been introduced to Ethiopia from Mauritius and it is still under maintenance at the Tepi National Spices Research Center (TNSRC). It is commonly propagated through stem cuttings which could arrests subsequent plant growth and development and serves as an ideal means for the spread of varied diseases. To solve the mentioned problems, no efficient in vitro protocol had so far been developed to propagate this vanilla clone in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was initiated to address this gap by developing efficient protocol for the enhanced multiplication of this accession (Van.2/05). In this study plant material was taken from TNSRC. The experiments were carried out in Jimma Agricultural Research Center (JARC) at Biotechnology Laboratory. Nodal explants and Murashige and Skoog (MS) (1962), basal medium were used exclusively throughout the experiments. The experiments were laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with factorial treatment combinations and replicated three times for plant growth regulato

description: Conflict in Syria and other Middle Eastern countries prompted thousands of migrants to attempt the journey to western European countries, only to be held up in countries such as Greece because of closing borders. Greek camps in summer 2016 varied in standard, but all official ones were initially run by the military, who installed chemical toilets. UNHCR and NGOs subsequently worked on improved sanitation solutions. This thesis explores the sanitation situation in Greek migrant camps, concentrating on three camps near Thessaloniki, and investigates the potential of transferring sanitation technology from two UK festival toilet companies to a Greek context. It is concluded that elements of the technology might be suitable for particular camp phases, but both companies would need to adapt their technology to be appropriate for a largely Muslim population in a Greek setting. They should also consider collaboration with Greek companies, and ongoing management scenarios using either camp residents or NGO employees.

description: Climate change remains a major impediment to food security in majority of developing countries, such as the West Africa Sahel (WASR), due to the rudimentary and rain-fed production system practiced by most farmers. The adoption of climate-smart agricultural technologies (CSAT), which aim to increase resilience and adaptation to changing climatic conditions, is crucial for boosting crop productivity and increasing food sufficiency. This study examined the food security impact of smallholder farmers adopting CSAT in WASR (Mali and Niger). We control for potential endogeneity bias that could occur in this study by employing the extended ordered probit and multinomial endogenous treatment effect model to analyze food security impact using the two most common approaches, which are the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and Food Consumption Scores (FCS). The impact results from the HFIAS estimation indicate that CSAT adopters are more food insecure than non-adopters in WASR. Subsequently, the FCS estimation results show that smallholder farmers adopting CSAT are less food secure than non- adopters. Further analysis of mechanisms and pathways to food security revealed that CSAT 2 Copyright 2024 by Lateef Olalekan Bello, Bola Amoke Awotide, Gideon-Danso-Abbeam, and Takeshi Sakurai.

Subsequent findings revealed that adopters of CSAT generate significantly higher crop revenues than non-adopters. This implies that CSAT adopters sell the majority of their marketable surplus and retain a minor share for household consumption. These findings suggest that farm-level sensitization programs could emphasize the need for farmers to strike a balance between agricultural investment and food security.

description: In 2014, the University of Maryland Libraries adopted a Subject Liaison Librarian model to proactively deliver a full range of services to its faculty and students and move the Libraries into the future.  Subject liaison librarians are Public Services librarians, responsible for developing and managing collections, reference, instruction and outreach in their assigned disciplines. They are required to be recognized specialists in their subject areas, and at the same time be professional librarians, skillful in library-related operations. 
Challenged by severe changes in the academic environment, rapidly changing technology, the proliferation of information, and consistently difficult budgets, subject liaison librarians must continually improve their skills and knowledge to keep current with the needs of the campus community, library profession, and their subject areas.  To this end, the University of Maryland Libraries developed a professional development program for their subject liaison librarians, which combines internal and external learning and training opportunities, both individual and group based. 
This paper will discuss the professional development program for subject liaison librarians at the University of Maryland Libraries.  Note: subject liaison librarians are being also referred to here as liaison librarians, or subject librarians.

Faecal sludge emptying services in Trinidad

description: Onsite sanitation facilities meet the sanitation needs of 2.7 billion people worldwide and the number is expected to increase to 5 billion by the year 2030. In Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) 70% of the population needs are met by on-site sanitation facilities which are predominantly toilets draining to septic tanks. Despite a high percentage of households in T&T have ‘improved’ sanitation facilities, the management of faecal waste downstream of households is severely neglected. Therefore, this research study focused on the first two stages of the Faecal Sludge Management (FSM) service chain (storage and emptying) by exploring the challenges encountered by faecal sludge emptying service providers in Trinidad as well as determined factors of households’ satisfaction with emptying providers’ services. The study used an exploratory qualitative case study research approach, and applied qualitative and quantitative data collection sources. Both public and private emptying providers’ had an equal chance of being hired in Trinidad. The lack of safe and adequate faecal sludge disposal facilities and frequent truck downtime were the main challenge for public FS emptying providers in Trinidad. From the household survey respondents satisfaction scores were highest for: the time taken to clean their septic tank; a clean service; the ease of accessing the septic tank; and the equipment used, while the price charge for emptying and the time taken for the provider to respond after an appointment was made, were the lowest scored satisfaction factors. In T&T, FS is not managed, budgetary investments towards onsite sanitation are almost invisible, and the population is unaware of the implications and importance of safe faecal sludge management. A vital recommendation aimed at addressing Trinidad’s FSM problems involves the participation of a committed local organisation that is willing to champion sanitation through appropriate budget allocations and establishing an enabling environment that supports all the stakeholders involved.

description: Does the humanitarian WASH sector need to enhance its practitioners in order to be more accountable to all stakeholders? This question is answered and methods in which to do this are explored as well as the challenges faced by the sector in its endeavour to enhance the capacity of its practitioners. Professionalisation is discussed as a structure in which the sector can develop and core competencies were identified as a cornerstone to congruent development and eventual professionalisation. Consequently, the WASH Practitioners’ Competency Framework is developed and undergoes three testing phases. Feedback and adjustments are captured and discussed culminating in into a possible viable tool that can assist in the enhancement of WASH practitioners’ capacity building as well as a host of other benefits and uses.

description: Modeling and characterization the transition state structure of enzyme catalyzed reactions is essential. A DFT method employing B3LYP level of theory with 6-31G (d',p') basis set for non-metals and LanL2DZ basis set for molybdenum have been used. The bond orders of chemical fragments were calculated using AOmix softaware. The effect of chalcogen replacement, amine group and methyl group in the parent structure of xanthine bound to xanthine oxidase active site were compared. The transition state structure of model substrates (2AX, 2A6TP, 2A6SP and 2A6MP) bound to the truncated form of XO active site has been confirmed by the presence of one negative imaginary frequencies (s-1) (-60), (-140), (-230) and (-270), respectively. The corresponding normalized energy barriers (kcal/mol) from pre-transition state to the transition state, respectively, are (13.869), (21.753), (23.109) and (0.212). In this work, 2A6SP and 2A6TP substrates were found to be potential xanthine oxidase inhibitors. The large bond distances and minimum bond order for CRH-HRH bond, and small bond distances and maximum bond order for SMo-HRH bond at the transition state for chalcogen replaced 2AX confirms early transition state structure. Methyl substituted 2AX analog found to have post transition state structure. A potential xanthine oxidase inhibitor can be designed from purine family enzymes using DFT approach.

description: Total Quality Management (TQM) practices are primarily found in developed countries but little has been written on how TQM has been applied in least developed countries like Ethiopia. This study aims to investigate the status and levels of TQM practices among different manufacturing firms located in the industrial area of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The design of this research has quantitative approach. Six critical success factors for TQM practices were identified and a survey instrument was developed. The questionnaire consists of 61statements, on a five-point Likert scale, to represent all the six critical success factors. From 300 sampled medium and large manufacturing firms a total of 272 valid responses were received. The survey findings are analyzed using statistical analysis package SPSS 20.0. Attempts at finding significant differences between medium and large companies were made. The result reveals that there no significance difference between medium and large companies on the levels of TQM practices. It also revealed areas lacking in implementation among manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. Manufacturing firms must be able to adopt TQM to help them meet world-wide challenges in the long run.

Remarks: The majority of the above records are based on that of Marshall (1964, 1967). But there is a remark by Christiansen & Bellinger (1980, p. 660) that “specimens from Quebec recorded by Marshall (1967) as sensibilis are all immature, with 1+1 or 2+2 manubrial setae. They may actually belong to F. alpha ” (now coeruleogrisea). The same is probably true for Alaskan records. The existence of this “European boreomountainous species” (Potapov 2001, p. 226) in the Nearctic needs further confirmation, although its presence in the Atlantic provinces of Canada is plausible.

description: Viele der mit DataCite DOI veröffentlichten Datensätze genügen nicht den FAIR Data Principles. Meist werden Datensätze erst dann FAIR-konform publiziert, sobald das publizierende Repositorium die Daten-Liefernden dazu anleitet, genügend Metadaten zur Verfügung zu stellen. Dies ist ein personalaufwändiger Prozess und die Daten-Nutzenden erkennen meist nicht, welche Datensätze gut kuratiert sind und welche nicht. Deshalb wurde der Wunsch geäußert, dass eine zusätzliche Zertifizierung für Datensätze mit DataCite DOI geschaffen werden sollte, die gut kuratierte und FAIR-konforme Datensätze hervorhebt. Da eine solche Zertifizierung noch nicht angeboten worden war, wurde dies im Projekt AtMoDat durch EASYDAB verwirklicht. Das Konzept für EASYDAB wurde nachhaltig geplant und die weitere Entwicklung der Zertifizierung wird durch das TIB – Leibniz-Informationszentrum Technik und Naturwissenschaften gesteuert. In diesem Bericht wird der Teil des Nachhaltigkeits- und Versteigungskonzept für EASYDAB beschrieben, der an der TIB umgesetzt wird. In einem weiteren Bericht wird die Umsetzung am Deutschen Klimarechentzentrum beschrieben werden. Many datasets published with DataCite DOI do not comply with the FAIR Data Principles. In most cases, datasets are only published in a FAIR-compliant manner as soon as the publishing repository instructs the data providers to make sufficient metadata available. This is a labour-intensive process; data users usually do not recognise which datasets are well curated or which are not. Therefore, the wish was expressed that an additional certification should be created for datasets with DataCite DOI highlighting well-curated and FAIR compliant datasets. As such certification had not yet been offered, this was realised in the AtMoDat project through EASYDAB. The concept for EASYDAB was planned in a sustainable way and the further development of the certification is controlled by the TIB - Leibniz Information Centre for Science and Technology. This report describes the part of the EASYDAB sustainability concept that is being implemented at TIB. The implementation at the German Climate Computing Centre will be described in a further report.

description: The human dopamine receptors D2S and D3 belong to the group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are important drug targets. Structural analyses and development of new receptor subtype specific drugs have been impeded by low expression yields or receptor instability. Fusing the T4 lysozyme into the intracellular loop 3 improves crystallization but complicates conformational studies. To circumvent these problems, we expressed the human D2S and D3 receptors in Escherichia coli using different N- and C-terminal fusion proteins and thermostabilizing mutations. We optimized expression times and used radioligand binding assays with whole cells and membrane homogenates to evaluate KD-values and the number of receptors in the cell membrane. We show that the presence but not the type of a C-terminal fusion protein is important. Bacteria expressing receptors capable of ligand binding can be selected using FACS analysis and a fluorescently labeled ligand. Improved receptor variants can thus be generated using error-prone PCR. Subsequent analysis of clones showed the distribution of mutations over the whole gene. Repeated cycles of PCR and FACS can be applied for selecting highly expressing receptor variants with high affinity ligand binding, which in the future can be used for analytical studies.
Are healthy foods optimally sustainable? A multi-dimensional analysis of 6,000 foods and beverages in the American diet
Creators: name: Hooker, Kayla
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Public Policy

description: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed an update to the “healthy” food label claim to better align with current dietary research and guidelines. While it is important to guide consumers toward more nutritious food choices, a more holistic understanding of consumer food choice is vital for creating socially and environmentally conscious food programs and policies. Sustainable diets have been identified as having four dimensions: health, economics, environment, and society. The purpose of this study was to perform a preliminary application of the proposed updates to the “healthy” label claim, and determine how scores for nutrition, monetary cost, environmental impact, and social and cultural acceptability of foods and beverages vary across food groups and categorization as Healthy, by the FDA’s criteria, or Not Healthy. The Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS) was used to obtain a list of foods and beverages consumed in the American diet, along with nutrient profiles and frequency of consumption data. A nutrient density score was calculated for each item, and databases for environmental impact and cost were also linked to FNDDS. Frequency of consumption was calculated per 1,000 person-days. Nutritional quality, environmental impact, and cost were calculated per 100 kilocalories, and a sensitivity analysis was performed in which the three metrics were calculated per 100 grams. A sustainability index was devised to compare overall sustainability across items. A total of 5,964 foods and beverages from the FNDDS were included in the analysis. The majority of items (87%) were categorized as Not Healthy, while only 13% were Healthy. On a basis of 100 kilocalories, Healthy foods and beverages had significantly higher indicator scores for nutritional quality and cost (p < 0.001) compared to Not Healthy items. Frequency of consumption was significantly higher for Healthy items (p < 0.001). There were 165 items identified as optimally sustainable, of which 8% were Healthy. Protein Foods constituted 62% of all optimally sustainable items, and Dairy products made up less than 1%. In sensitivity analyses exploring indicator scores per 100 grams, Healthy items showed more favorable median scores and more foods and beverages were identified as optimally sustainable than when indicators were calculated per 100 kilocalories. In conclusion, this study assessed how the FDA’s updates to the “heathy” food label criteria relate to all four dimensions of sustainable diets and found that optimally sustainable foods and beverages do not tend to align with those that would be considered “healthy.” A more holistic understanding of foods and beverages is necessary so that consumers can make dietary choices appropriate for not only their nutritional requirements but also other needs, personal values, and preferences.
