description: The LusTra project aims to raise children's awareness to recycling. The goal is to create smart trash bins for elementary schools. These trash bins would give a feedback, and encourage the children to adopt a responsible recycling behavior.

A trash bin is able to detect PET bottles while a second will check the aluminium cans.

This original research and development project, is a common work between one team at HE-ARC (Neuchâtel) and one team at HEPIA (Geneva). This project was made possible through the funding granted by the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland (HES-SO).

Subjects: subject: Fisheries

description: Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) represent an innovative and sustainable approach to fish farming. This method focuses on reusing water within the system, thereby reducing water consumption and enhancing biosecurity. This method is used for high- density culture of various species of fish, utilizing minimum land area and water. The Denmark was one of the first country to use recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) technology for commercial European eel aquaculture. Recirculating systems are now used to produce both salty water- and fresh water species, including rainbow trout, white leg shrimp, and turbot. The earliest scientific innovative research on recirculatory aquaculture system was conducted in the Japan in the 1950 focussing on different biofilter design for carp production, which was driven by the need to use locally-limited water resources more productively.

South Africa voucher material: None. All known specimens caught in South African waters were discarded.
South Africa distribution: South African range poorly-defined with records off the Cape Peninsula (WC) (R. W. Leslie, formerly, Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries [DAFF], Cape Town, South Africa, pers. comm.), the EC, and KZN (Ebert & Compagno, 2009).
Remarks: An apparent southern African endemic presently confirmed from southern Angola, Namibia, and South Africa. A single specimen was reported by Smith (1951) to have been caught off the Port Alfred Pier (EC), but the specimen was not retained. Since no specimens have been captured and examined since the description of C. africana, all South African literature records of frilled sharks are attributed to this species for now. Records of frilled sharks from seamounts off Mozambique should also be carefully examined (Ebert, 2013).
Conservation status: LC (2019).

Model expressions for refractive indices of electron waves in cold magnetoactive plasma

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Despite the undoubted importance of having fairly simple analytical expressions for the refractive indices of wave modes in a magnetoactive plasma, such expressions are known only in some particular cases. For electron waves with frequencies much higher than the lower hybrid resonance frequency, such an expression is known only for whistler waves in a dense plasma when the electron plasma frequency significantly exceeds the electron cyclotron frequency. In this Letter, we propose simple operational expressions for the refractive indices of all four electron modes in a magnetoactive plasma, namely, the fast magnetosonic, also called whistler mode, the slow extraordinary mode, the ordinary mode, and the fast extraordinary mode. The form of these expressions does not depend on the value of the ratio of plasma frequency to cyclotron frequency.

title: Writing Artists’ Residencies in Scotland: The value of residency experiences from the perspective of the artist
Creators: name: Iles, Morag
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2024

description: Conducted in collaboration with three Scottish residency organisations: Bothy Project, Cove Park and The Work Room, this research project explores the value of artist residency experiences in the practice, career, and livelihood of artists. Following an ontologically driven framework, which acknowledges the performative nature of the research process (Gibson-Graham 2008), this research purposefully prioritises the processes of value formation from the perspective of the artist; capturing how residencies are felt and experienced by residents in relation to ongoing material and discursive entanglements.

The varying activities and residency offers proffered by Bothy Project, Cove Park and The Work Room are indicative of the range and scope of residency practices available in the contemporary climate. As studies, each organisation’s residency offer is not intended to (re)present an exemplar residency opportunity in a simple positive sense (Vergunst and Graham 2019). Rather, this thesis exemplifies and demonstrates the environmental and conceptual conditions in which ideas, practices, and artworks flow through the world. In turn it draws attention to that which artists are working with in the development of their practice and identity.

The nascent academic field of residency research, within which this study resides, has accelerated during the delivery of this thesis, with the majority of theory being developed by the sector and practice-led research. This thesis contributes to this by highlighting a constellation of value-based themes, which research participants have identified as cumulatively transforming their practice identities and artistic subjectivities (Mezirow 2008; Wakefield 2013). Framing residency as a process-method (Healy McMeans 2021), the research advocates ‘artist-centred’ residency opportunities, in which residencies are considered part of the ‘textility of making’ (Ingold 2009).
Applications of density functional theory (DFT) in metal-catalysed and metal-free organic transformations
Creators: name: Jalali, Mona
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: In this thesis, Density Functional Theory (DFT) was employed to study a range of synthetic reactions involving hypervalent iodine reactants, in addition to gold- and bismuth-catalysed processes.
Chapter One provides an introduction to fundamental computational chemistry with an overview of density functional theory (DFT).
Chapter Two investigates the mechanisms that underpin reactions involving hypervalent iodine species which were carried out in collaboration with experimental research groups. This chapter is structured in three parts. The first section, “An overview of hypervalent iodine compounds and their reactions,” provides a background of the relevant literature and context for the two sections which follow: “Oxidation of Electron-Deficient Phenols Mediated by Hypervalent Iodine(V) Reagents: Fundamental Mechanistic Features Revealed by a Density Functional Theory-Based Investigation”; and “Photochemical Activation of a Hydroxyquinone-Derived Phenyliodonium Ylide by Visible Light: Synthetic and Mechanistic Investigations”. In the first study, DFT was utilised to understand the mechanistic basis of the oxidation of electron-deficient phenols using hypervalent iodine(V) reagents. The second study applies DFT to explore the thermal and photochemical activation of hydroxyquinone-derived phenyliodonium ylides in order to obtain an enhanced understanding of their associated reactivity.
Chapter Three comprises three sections, the first of which provides “An overview of gold-catalysed C–H functionalisation with a focus on DFT studies”. This is followed by two research sections titled: “Hydroalkylation of Alkenes with 1,3-Diketones via Gold (III) or Silver(I) Catalysis: Divergent Mechanistic Pathways Revealed by a DFT-based Investigation”; and “Mechanistic Insights into Gold(I)-Mediated C–H Activation”. In each study, DFT was employed to develop an improved understanding of the fundamental reaction mechanisms that operate in these transformations, while providing key insights that can aid in the development of new C–H activation processes.
Chapter Four contains one study, “Bismuth (III)-Catalysed Hydroalkylation of Styrene with Acetylacetone: A DFT-Based Mechanistic Study”. Computational methods are employed to investigate the mechanism of this transformation and compare and contrast this with analogous reactivity facilitated by gold (III) catalysts which were explored in Chapter three.

description: Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Finite-Volumen-Programms zur numerischen Berechung von zweidimensionalen strömungsmechanischen Problemen, deren Geometrie sich zeitlich ändert. Ausgangspunkt hierfür ist eine fortgeschrittene Finite-Volumen-Lösungsprozedur für inkompressible, turbulente Strömungen auf der Basis von raumfesten, blockstrukturierten Rechengittern. Ein erster Schwerpunkt der Arbeit besteht in der Auswahl, Implementierung und Verifikation eines Verfahrens, welches es erlaubt, Strömungssimulationen auch in zeitveränderlichen Geometrien durchzuführen. Während sich hierfür in Gestalt des 'Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian'-Formalismus ein effizienter und erprobter Ansatz anbietet, erweist sich ein Teilproblem - nämlich die Nachführung des Rechengitters an die sich bewegende Berandung - als weniger gut erforscht. Diese Thematik ist deshalb auch der Hauptschwerpunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit. Zunächst werden die Stärken und Schwächen der zur Gitternachführung in Frage kommenden Methoden theoretisch analysiert und diskutiert. Die hierbei aufgezeigten grundlegenden Mängel werden zum Anlass genommen, ein vielversprechendes neues Verfahren zu entwickeln. Abschließend wird die Leistungsfähigkeit der zu einem vollautomatischen Verfahren integrierten Strömungsberechnungs- und Gittergenerierungsmodule anhand eines bekannten Strömungsproblems demonstriert. Die numerischen Ergebnisse zeigen eine gute Übereinstimmung mit experimentellen Daten. Der Anteil der Gitternachführung am gesamten Rechenzeitbedarf fällt kaum ins Gewicht.

TARGETING PROTEASOME IN BABESIA PARASITES TO COMBAT HUMAN BABESIOSIS

description: Human babesiosis is a malaria-like, tick-borne infectious disease of major public health importance with a global distribution. Babesiosis is caused by intraerythrocytic, apicomplexan parasites of the genus Babesia. In the United States, human babesiosis is primarily caused by Babesia microti and Babesia duncani. Of these parasites, B. duncani infection is lethal to susceptible patients. Current treatment for babesiosis includes either the synergistic use of atovaquone and azithromycin or the combination of clindamycin and quinine. However, the side effects and the resistance posed by these parasites called for alternative approaches for the treatment of human babesiosis. Parasite-derived proteases play several functions in the context of parasitic lifestyle and regulate basic biological processes including cell death, cell progression and cell migration. We hypothesized that proteases are promising class of drug targets in Babesia parasites. Using the SYBR-Green assay, we screened a protease inhibitor library consists of 160 compounds against B. duncani in vitro culture at 50µM and identified 13 preliminary hits. Additionally, dose response assays of hit compounds against B. duncani and B. microti in vitro cultures identified 5 compounds as effective inhibitors against parasite growth. Of these 5 compounds, we chose ixazomib, a proteasome inhibitor as a potential drug for further studies based on its lower IC50 of 58nM as well as a higher therapeutic index as compared to other hit compounds. We demonstrated that in a mouse model infected with target,, the most effective inhibitor, the prodrug of ixazomib at a low dose of 2.5mg/kg lowers parasite proliferation without causing any adverse effects in animals. Thus, our studies suggest that Babesia proteasome may be an important drug target, and ixazomib may be a potential compound that may be used for the treatment of human babesiosis.

description: The rising prevalence of chronic diseases could be mitigated by expanding community programs. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of delivering a community wellness program for older adults living with chronic disease. A two-group randomized controlled study, with blinded assessments, enrolling adults (≥50 years) with chronic disease, was conducted at a Western Australian community hub. Participants randomly allocated to the intervention participated in exercise groups and a wellness activity twice a week. Both the intervention and control groups received a Fitbit™ and workbook. The primary outcomes were recruitment, retention, acceptability, and suitability. The secondary outcomes measured at baseline and 12 weeks included physical function and physical activity (step count). There were 126 older adults approached, of whom 22 (17.5%) were recruited. Eighteen participants (mean age = 70.8 ± 8.1, n = 8 intervention, n = 10 control) completed 12 weeks. Two intervention participants (25% adherence) completed over 70% of sessions and eight participants (44.4% retention) accepted an ongoing 3-month program. Health problems (30.2%) were barriers to both recruitment and adherence. There were no significant between-group differences in physical function. Physical activity was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the control group (p = 0.01). Tailored programs with ongoing support may be required to improve the health of older adults living with chronic disease.
