description: Vast data warehouses of legal documents and court decisions present an opportunity for data visualization and analysis, yet court decisions have rarely been visualized geographically. We explore the potential for geographic visualization of judicial case data by mapping a state-level standardized score calculated from 135 State Supreme Court abortion cases published in the USA between 1973 and 2013, and again from 228 redistricting cases published between 1962 and 2013. We observe substantial variation in Z-scores across the USA, with geographic patterning of high values observed for redistricting cases, but not for abortion cases. The resulting maps suggest that the geovisualization of court decisions may aid the generation and testing of hypotheses about whether or not certain states disproportionately set legal precedent and subsequently influence the national discourse on a given issue. This type of geovisualization may also have implications for forum shopping and other geographically explicit legal strategies.

description: European policy is strongly directed towards renewable energy sources (RES) all in order to achieve a more competitive, secure and sustainable energy system. As part of 2030 Framework for climate and energy, the European Union (EU) has put forward the share of renewable energy increasing to at least a 27 %. Therefore, solid biomass and forestry biomass will continue to be one of the major sources for bioenergy within the EU all in order to transition energy politic towards this goal. The growing trend of using biomass as a RES results also in a growth of the produced wood biomass ash (WBA) as one of the by-product in the energy production. As the amount of biomass ash and the price of its landfill grows, it is necessary to establish the sustainable management as a major challenge in a bioenergy production. The one of the possible option to reduce the environmental and social problems related to the disposal of WBA is its utilization in the construction sector. This paper presents preliminary results of testing mechanical and durability properties of cement composites made with WBA in different amounts per cement mass.

description: The process of genetic inheritance is often over simplified, leading consumers of genetic tests to believe that the amount of DNA from distant ancestors becomes negligible. In fact, segments of DNA pass down through the generations intact. Naturally occurring cleavage sites allow for small segments to exist at recurring chromosomal locations. These small segments can be used as familial markers in an autosomal haplotype.

description: The effects of interventions are multidimensional. Use of more than one primary endpoint offers an attractive design feature in clinical trials as they capture more complete characterization of the effects of an intervention and provide more informative intervention comparisons. For these reasons, multiple primary endpoints have become a common design feature in many disease areas such as oncology, infectious disease, and cardiovascular disease. More specifically in medical product development, multiple endpoints are used as co-primary to evaluate the effect of the new interventions. Although methodologies to address continuous co-primary endpoints are well-developed, methodologies for binary endpoints are limited. In this article, we describe power and sample size determination for clinical trials with multiple correlated binary endpoints, when relative risks are evaluated as co-primary. We consider a scenario where the objective is to evaluate evidence for superiority of a test intervention compared with a control intervention, for all of the relative risks. We discuss the normal approximation methods for power and sample size calculations and evaluate how the required sample size, power, and Type I error vary as a function of the correlations among the endpoints. Also we discuss a simple, but conservative procedure for appropriate sample size calculation. We then extend the methods allowing for interim monitoring using group-sequential methods.

description: This study characterized potential inhalation exposures of workers to nanometal oxides associated with industrial wastewater treatment processes in a semiconductor research and development facility. Exposure assessment methodology was designed to capture aerosolized engineered nanomaterials associated with the chemical mechanical planarization wafer polishing process that were accessible for worker contact via inhalation in the on-site wastewater treatment facility. The research team conducted air sampling using a combination of filter-based capture methods for particle identification and characterization and real-time direct-reading instruments for semi-quantitation of particle number concentration. Filter-based samples were analyzed using electron microscopy and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy while real-time particle counting data underwent statistical analysis. Sampling conducted over 14 months included 5 discrete sampling series events for 7 job tasks in coordination with on-site employees. The number of filter-based samples captured for analysis by electron microscopy was: 5 from personal breathing zone, 4 from task areas, and 3 from the background. Direct-reading instruments collected data for 5 sample collection periods in the task area and the background, and 2 extended background collection periods. Engineered nanomaterials of interest (Si, Al, Ce) were identified by electron microscopy in filter-based samples from all areas of collection, existing as agglomerates (>500 nm) and nanoparticles (100 nm–500 nm). Particle counts showed an increase in number concentration during and after selected tasks above background. While additional data is needed to support further statistical analysis and determine trends, this initial investigation suggests that nanoparticles used or generated by chemical mechanical planarization become aerosolized and may be accessible for inhalation exposures by workers in wastewater treatment facilities. Additional research is needed to further quantify the level of exposure and determine the potential human health impacts.

description: We demonstrate the on-chip detection of light using photosensitive detectors based on quantum dot micropillar cavities. These microscale detectors are applied exemplarily to probe the emission of a monolithically integrated, electrically pumped whispering gallery mode microlaser. Light is detected via the photocurrent induced in the electrically contacted micropillar detectors under reverse-bias. In order to demonstrate the high potential and applicability of the microdetector presented, we determine the threshold current of an integrated microlaser to be (54 ± 4) μA, in very good agreement with the value of (53 ± 4) μA inferred from the optical data. Within this work, we realize the monolithic integration of a laser and a detector in a single device operating in the regime of cavity-quantum electrodynamics. Our results thus advance the research on microscale sensor technology towards the few-photon quantum limit and pave the way for on-chip opto-electronic feedback experiments.

description: We study the weak gravity conjecture in non-supersymmetric string theory setups. Precisely, those are type I string theory with supersymmetry broken \`a la Scherk-Schwarz and open strings on D branes wrapped around magnetized tori in type II string theory. We compute long-range interactions between identical branes at one-loop and compare them to the weak gravity conjecture for higher-degree forms. In our examples, SUSY breaking generates interactions between branes, which are not anymore BPS, in such a way that the weak gravity conjecture is verified. In type I with the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism, the tension of the branes is reduced by one-loop quantum effects, so that there are long-range repulsive forces. The correlation of the non-vanishing brane potential with the presence of a running modulus and of possible D branes bound states nicely connects to other swampland conjectures. For magnetized branes in type II strings, we check that non-BPS branes experience a long-range repulsion whenever the open string spectrum is tachyon-free. Ultimately, the role of stringy objects in the discussion makes it compelling to further understand swampland conjectures in strings with broken SUSY, let alone their phenomenological relevance.

description: ABSTRACT—Fossil fishes were first collected from deposits of the Sangkarewang Formation of the Ombilin Basin in Sumatra, Indonesia, in the 1870s, but a comprehensive study of these fishes was not published until almost 50 years later. New material from these deposits was collected in 2009, which included a small anabantoid fish. This fish is not conspecific with any of the material described previously and is here named as a new genus and species. A phylogenetic analysis indicates that the new anabantoid is closely related to Osphronemus among the taxa studied, and we place it in the family Osphronemidae. However, the new fish does not appear to belong to any of the named modern subfamilies, so we leave it incertae sedis in the family. Additionally, the osphronemid subfamilies are not recovered as a monophyletic group. The anabantoid named here and another previously described from the same locality are the only fossil anabantoids known. However, the age of the Sangkarewang Formation is not confirmed and has been variously attributed to Cretaceous, Palaeocene, Eocene, and Miocene, with Eocene being the presently favored estimate. Based on the presence of an anabantoid in these deposits, an Eocene age is reasonable and is not contradicted by the known fish fauna.http://zoobank.org/lsid:urn.lsid.zoobank.org:pub:53281C25-8E47-4C67-9952-A994B47F6656SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

description: Automatic language assessment and learning systems are required to support the global growth in English language learning. They need to be able to provide reliable and meaningful feedback to help learners develop their skills. This paper considers the question of detecting grammatical errors in non-native spoken English as a first step to providing feedback on a learner's use of the language. A state-of-the-art deep learning based grammatical error detection (GED) system designed for written texts is investigated on free speaking tasks across the full range of proficiency grades with a mix of first languages (L1s). This presents a number of challenges. Free speech contains disfluencies that disrupt the spoken language flow but are not grammatical errors. The lower the level of the learner the more these both will occur which makes the underlying task of automatic transcription harder. The baseline written GED system is seen to perform less well on manually transcribed spoken language. When the GED model is fine-tuned to free speech data from the target domain the spoken system is able to match the written performance. Given the current state-of-the-art in ASR, however, and the ability to detect disfluencies grammatical error feedback from automated transcriptions remains a challenge.

description: The present study aims to produce workable bio-based concretes with consistence indexes around 265 ± 15 mm, free of pressing process with bio-aggregates such as bamboo particles, wood shavings and rice husk. To produce the concretes, a nominal water-to-cement ratio of 0.45, a cement amount of 687 kg/m3 and a volume fraction of the bio-aggregates of 50%, were used for all mixtures. Appropriate compensating water amounts and the use of adequate dosages of viscosity modifying agent (VMA) allowed obtaining bio-concretes of high workability without exudation and segregation. The fresh property used was the consistence index through the flow table test, while the hardened property determined was the compressive stress-strain behavior at 1, 7 and 28 days. The results showed workable and consistent mixtures, with mechanical properties that can allow industrial scale production of construction components.

description: To rapidly respond to the COVID-19 public health crisis, researchers have been called upon to prioritize pandemic research, while simultaneously modifying their existing research to maintain the safety of all stakeholders. This study aims to explore the experiences of health science researchers in their scientific practices, research priorities, and professional relational dynamics due to COVID-19. Specifically, we interviewed 31 researchers from diverse fields at the University of Texas Medical Branch. Participants worked on COVID-19, non-COVID-19 related research, or both. We integrated inductive and deductive coding using a thematic coding method. The following four themes were explored: 1) impact of research, 2) research priorities, 3) professional relationships and 4) contextual influences on science. Participants were drawn to COVID-19 work for a diversity of reasons including social need, scientific interest, professional duty, and increased access to funding opportunities. While collaborations have increased for COVID-19 researchers, interpersonal relationships have been challenging for participants. Additionally, political, familial, and personal stresses due to the pandemic have taken a toll on researchers in very different and often inequitable ways. To ensure team cohesion, there is a need to develop research practices, policies and systems that value empathy, flexibility, and interdependence.

description: Aripuanin is a megastigmane that exists in the leaves of Ficus aripuanensis C.C. Berg (Moraceae). The present study describes a new approach to the total synthesis of this natural product starting from the readily available β-ionone. The proposed synthetic route provided racemic aripuanin in moderate yields (~31%). This route can be applied to the synthesis of other natural products bearing the megastigmane moiety, as well as to the enantioselective synthesis of aripuanin derivatives.

description: Reconstructing a free-form surface from 3-dimensional (3D) noisy measurements is a central problem in inspection, statistical quality control, and reverse engineering. We present a new method for the statistical reconstruction of a free-form surface patch based on 3D point cloud data. The surface is represented parametrically, with each of the three Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) a function of surface coordinates (u, v), a model form compatible with computer-aided-design (CAD) models. This model form also avoids having to choose one Euclidean coordinate (say, z) as a “response” function of the other two coordinate “locations” (say, x and y), as commonly used in previous Euclidean kriging models of manufacturing data. The (u, v) surface coordinates are computed using parameterization algorithms from the manifold learning and computer graphics literature. These are then used as locations in a spatial Gaussian process model that considers correlations between two points on the surface a function of their geodesic distance on the surface, rather than a function of their Euclidean distances over the xy plane. We show how the proposed geodesic Gaussian process (GGP) approach better reconstructs the true surface, filtering the measurement noise, than when using a standard Euclidean kriging model of the “heights”, that is, z(x, y). The methodology is applied to simulated surface data and to a real dataset obtained with a noncontact laser scanner. Supplementary materials are available online.

description: Exclusion leads to negative effects across the social and cognitive domains (Wesselman & Williams, 2013). Because the consequences of social exclusion can be severe, social psychologists have characterized social-cognitive mechanisms for detecting exclusion and motivating responses to mitigate its effects. Although both adults and children respond to exclusion in ways that facilitate social connection, it is unclear whether two components of a system for detecting and responding to social exclusion, tracking and evaluating a prior excluder, are present in early childhood. The current research investigates whether 4- to 6-year-old children track and evaluate social excluders. Children in both experiments played in inclusive and exclusive ball-toss games. Children then reported explicit social evaluations comparing players from each game by answering who was meaner, a better sharer, or a better play partner for a third party. In Experiment 1, four-year-olds (N=32) had mixed evaluations of the players. An exploratory analysis revealed that children who indicated that the includer was a better sharer (n= 19 of 32) viewed the excluder as meaner (18 of 19, p < .001). In Experiment 2, 96 children, ages 4 to 6 years old, participated in a similar procedure to Experiment 1—now including an explicit memory check question. Children who passed the memory check (n = 68) evaluated includers more positively (44 of 68, p = .02) excluders more negatively (46 of 68, p = .004) and recommended that a new puppet play with the includer (49 of 68, p = .003). These effects were primarily driven by younger children, as 6-year-olds did not evaluate excluders negatively. Future work should determine if children younger than 4 years old can track and detect social exclusion.

description: Aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes are efficiently reduced to their corresponding alcohols in the presence of [RuCl2(p-cymene)]2 and KOAc in 2-propanol under air at 80 °C. The presence of KOAc in the reaction is essential; in its absence no reduction takes place. A highly efficient, external-base-free reduction of aldehydes has also been reported with (η6-arene)ruthenium(II) complexes containing O^O chelate ligand such as [Ru(OAc)2(p-cymene)] and [RuCl(KA)(p-cymene)], obtaining alcohol in excellent yield (OAc, acetate; KA, kojic acetate). The scope of the reaction has been extended to a broad range of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes.

description: Aripuanin is a megastigmane that exists in the leaves of Ficus aripuanensis C.C. Berg (Moraceae). The present study describes a new approach to the total synthesis of this natural product starting from the readily available β-ionone. The proposed synthetic route provided racemic aripuanin in moderate yields (∼31%). This route can be applied to the synthesis of other natural products bearing the megastigmane moiety, as well as to the enantioselective synthesis of aripuanin derivatives.

description: Polymer foils with thicknesses 150 nm to around 1 µm were manufactured using the process of spincoating. Varying the concentration of the polymer solution was found to be the most efficient way to control resulting foil thickness. Both interferometric microscopy and energy loss of alpha particles were used for characterization and found to yield agreeing results. For an experiment on laser-driven ion acceleration, these films were used as targets and as substrates for cryogenic hydrogen targets.

description: In this research the mechanical performance of mortar reinforced with fibres of hemp (Cannabis Sativa L) were experimentally evaluated. Bast hemp fibres of 10 mm in length with six different dosages per volume, starting with 0.25 vol% up to 1.5 vol% increasing in steps of 0.25, were mixed in the matrix. The fibres were added to the matrix in two different conditions: wet and dry. The compression strength, flexural strength and flexural toughness of the composite were evaluated. The addition of hemp fibres was found to decrease the mortars compression and flexural strength but significantly improved the flexural toughness of plane mortar. The increase in fibre dosage resulted in increase of the flexural toughness. On the other hand the compression strength of mortar decreased with the addition of fibres. Both the compression strength and flexural toughness slightly decreased in case if wet fibres were mixed in the matrix.

description: Mammea siamensis is used in traditional Thai medicine. This study was designed to extract and isolate an active compound from the M. siamensis seeds and to investigate its activity on Wilms' tumour 1 (WT1) protein expression in K562 cells. WT1 is a transcription factor that stimulates cell proliferation. The ethanol saraphi seed (ESS) extract was fractionated using n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol and water to obtain n-hexane saraphi seed (HSS), ethyl acetate saraphi seed (EASS), n-butanol saraphi seed (BSS), and water saraphi seed (WSS) extracts, respectively. The ESS, HSS and EASS extracts had strong cytotoxic effects on K562 cells in the MTT assay. All three fractions decreased WT1 protein levels and decreased total cell numbers. The HSS extract decreased the WT1 protein levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. HPLC and NMR analyses indicated that the active compound of HSS was mammea E/BB. M. siamensis seeds are thus identified as a promising source of bioactive compounds for potential inhibition of WT1 protein expression.

description: Gynura bicolor (Compositae) is a popular vegetable in Asia and believed to confer a wide range of benefits including anti-cancer. Our previous findings showed that the ethyl acetate extract of G. bicolor possessed cytotoxicity and induced apoptotic and necrotic cell death in human colon carcinoma cells (HCT 116). A combination of column chromatography had been used to purify chemical constituents from the ethyl acetate and water extract of G. bicolor leaves. Eight chemical constituents 5-p-trans-coumaroylquinic acid (I), 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (II), rutin (III), kampferol-3-O-rutinoside (IV), 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (V), kampferol-3-O-glucoside (VI), guanosine (VII) and chlorogenic acid (VIII) were isolated from G. bicolor grown in Malaysia. To our best knowledge, all chemical constituents were isolated for the first time from G. bicolor leaves except rutin (III). 3,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid (V), guanosine (VII) and chlorogenic acid (VIII) demonstrated selective cytotoxicity (selective index>3) against HCT 116 cancer cells compared to CCD-18Co human normal colon cells.
What Could Possibly Go Wrong: Undesirable Patterns in Collective Development. Appendix

description: This is the appendix for the paper titled "What Could Possibly Go Wrong: Undesirable Patterns in Collective Development". Below you can find an abstract to the paper.Software development, often perceived as a technical endeavour, is fundamentally a social activity requiring collaboration among team members. Acknowledging this, the software development community has devised strategies to address possible collaboration-related shortcomings. Various studies have attempted to capture the social dynamics within software engineering. These studies developed methods to identify numerous teamwork issues and proposed various approaches to address them. However, there is a need for a comprehensive bottom-up exploration from practitioner’s perceptions to common patterns. This paper introduces the concept of undesirable patterns in collective development, referring to potential teamwork problems that may escalate if unaddressed. Through 38 in-depth exploratory interviews, we identify and classify 42 patterns, revealing their origins and consequences. To the best of our knowledge, some patterns, like Teamwork pipeline bottleneck, were never reported before. Subsequent surveys, 436 and 968 participants each, explore the significance and frequency of the undesirable patterns, and evaluate potential tools and features to manage these patterns. The study contributes a nuanced understanding of undesirable patterns, evaluating their impact and proposing pragmatic tools and features for industrial application. The findings provide a valuable foundation for further in-depth studies and the development of tools to enhance collaborative software engineering practices.

description: The essential oil from the leaves of Macleaya cordata R.Br. obtained by hydrodistillation was analysed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Sixty-eight compounds consisting of up to 92.53% of the essential oil were identified. Antioxidant activities of the essential oil were evaluated by using DPPH radical scavenging and β-carotene–linoleic acid assays. The essential oil showed moderate antioxidant activity. In addition, the essential oil exhibited potential antimicrobial activity against all tested microorganisms, with diameters of inhibition zones ranging from 8.7 ± 0.5 to 17.2 ± 1.2 mm and minimum inhibitory concentration values from 125 to 500 μg/mL. We selected the most sensitive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus as model to observe of the action of essential oils of M. cordata on the membrane structure by scanning electron microscopy. The treated cell membranes were damaged severely. The results presented here indicate that the essential oil of M. cordata may be potential sources of antioxidant and antimicrobial agents in the future.
