description: Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are a uique class of coordination polymers consist of inorganic metal ions or clusters, known as secondary building units (SBUs), interconnected by organic linkers. Their remarkable properties, such as large surface areas, high porosities, high adaptability, and diverse functionalities, have made them popular and enabled their potential applications across many fields. Over the last three decades, more than 90,000 MOFs have been created. The preparation methods of MOFs evolved from the initial stages of simply obtaining the material to realizations of more sustainable syntheses. However, obtaining phase-pure products remains a challenge.. In this work, we developed a green, solvent-free synthetic method for the aluminum trimesates (Al-BTCs) system, which produces three distinct phases—MIL-96, MIL-100, and MIL-110—from the same metal and ligand precursors. However, obtaining pure-phase products remains challenging. We conducted a series of experiments to investigate the formation of Al-BTCs from an energetic perspective, finding that linker stabilization of the Al-polyhedra is crucial in the formation of the Al-BTC frameworks. Additionally, higher coordinative metal-polyhedra possess more enthalpic stabilization from the coordinated ligands.
description: We selected the solvent-free synthesized MIL-96(Al) as a support for Mn2+ dopants, creating an affordable catalyst, namely Mn(Ⅱ)@MIL-96(Al). We evaluated the catalytic value of Mn(Ⅱ)@MIL-96(Al) using the aerobic olefin epoxidation reaction under mild conditions, and the results demonstrated high efficiency and selectivity toward epoxide production.
description: Finally, we utilized an up-scaling, modulator-free synthetic approach to produce functionalized hierarchically porous UiO-66 (HP-UiO-66) materials. The defect sites, mesopores, and varying ratios of mixed ligands were introduced to enhance the catalytic activity of HP-UiO-66s. To evaluate the catalytic performance of the seven X:Y-HP-UiO-66 (X:Y = molar ratio of NH2BDC:BDC) derivatives with different Lewis acid-base functionalities, we employed CO2 cycloaddition with organic epoxide as a model reaction. The results demonstrated excellent catalytic performance, offering valuable insight for the rational design of MOFs via fine-tuning functionality for more efficient catalytic applications.

description: Background: Orofacial harmonization encompasses techniques, procedures, and products used for therapeutic, rehabilitative, or preventive purposes. Orofacial Harmonization involves the use of injectable products such as botulinum toxin type A and/or hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights and degrees of cross-linking, as well as a variety of bio-stimulators. Objective: To analyze the application of botulinum toxin in the perioral region from both clinical and biosafety perspectives. To discuss the importance of identifying anatomical points of relevance directly associated with biosafety. Methods: This research compares the results after the application of a Botulinum Toxin protocol in 4 clinical aspects: a) labial commissures, b) gummy smile, c) perioral area, and d) chin. Clinical and biosafety perspectives of patients are evaluated. A convenience sample was utilized, consisting of 10 patients for each field to be evaluated (a, b, c, d) who met the inclusion criteria: patients over 25 years old and under 60 years old; without cognitive interferences and/or psychiatric pathologies; residents in Portugal. Exclusion criteria were used such as: patients with contraindications for the application of Botulinum Toxin protocol, such as: allergy to botulinum toxin type A; allergy to human albumin and/or sucrose; generalized muscular disease; presenting infection or inflammation in the area to be treated. Results: The clinical evaluation demonstrated higher therapeutic efficacy in groups a) labial commissures, b) gummy smile, and d) chin. The perioral area proved to be less promising in obtaining results with the application of Botulinum Toxin. Due to respect for facial anatomical structures, 100% success was achieved in biosafety control, with no trans or post-operative complications recorded. Conclusions: This study allowed for finding statistically significant relationships between the variables under study and the literature, thus enabling the creation of some scientific bases. Orofacial Harmonization, through individualizing the patient's natural physical traits, facilitates the harmonization of intra-oral structures with adjacent supporting tissues and muscles.

description: Most global ecosystem models assume that controls over soil organic matter are alike in climatically similar regions. In this study, we tested the generality of controls over soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic nitrogen (SON) in temperate grasslands. We measured organic matter pools in Inner Mongolia, China, along the Northeast China Transect, and analyzed the relationship of SOC and SON to climate, soil texture, and land use variables. We then compared our data to values simulated by a regression model developed in the U.S. Great Plains and also to Century model simulations. We found that, as in the U.S. Great Plains, climate and soil texture variables could explain a large proportion of variation in observed SOC and SON, but a regression model developed in the Great Plains overestimated SOC and underestimated SON in Inner Mongolia. Using Century, we found that simulated SOC and SON values were sensitive to both inclusion of altered land use and changes in N deposition and that the model that best fit our data included higher-intensity grazing and N deposition values higher than that in the Great Plains. This model also produced aboveground net primary production (ANPP) values comparable with values observed in the literature for Inner Mongolian grasslands, but these values were higher than ANPP predicted by previously published regression models. These results suggest that different controls over SOC and SON cycling in Inner Mongolia may affect our ability to predict SOC and SON pool sizes using relationships in other regional models.

description: Background:
 Obesity is one main 21st-century pandemic, emerging at younger ages and presenting several health problems and increasing risks of multiple diseases involving metabolic pathways related to inflammation (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancer risk). Recent data suggest that the microbiome is connected with obesity pathophysiology. Nonetheless, scarce information is available about gut microbiome and obesity in pediatric age. So, understanding the symbiotic relationship between the human organism and the intestinal microbiome can be crucial for addressing a possible therapeutic issue from early childhood. Objective: Verify the association between the intestinal microbiome and obesity in pediatric age. Methods: This systematic review was designed according to PRISMA. The search was carried out in October 2023, using PubMed and Scopus databases, with a peer-to-peer selection of articles. The choice was carried out in two phases, initially by title and abstract analysis and later by a full reading of the selected manuscripts, based on the inclusion criteria, namely “pediatric age (from birth to 18 years of age)”, “fecal microbiota or intestinal”, those that were clinical, cohort, case-control and cross-sectional studies, and that included children with obesity. Results: 
So, a total of 8 clinical studies and 2 observational studies were selected and included for this analysis. The selected studies show that gut bacterial communities are directly or indirectly related to obesity. Thus, childhood may be the critical period to implement specific microbiota interventions to prevent multifactorial diseases related to obesity. Papers analysis showed that some genera tended to be associated with an obesogenic profile in children, namely: Prevotella, Phascolarctobacterium, Paraprevotella, Bacillus, Dorea, Ruminococcus gnavus, Clostridium sensu stricto groups, Eubacterium halli group and Fusicatenibacter [1,2]. In this review, the Firmicutes phylum was shown to be in smaller quantities in obese children, with Bacteroidetes being associated with an obesogenic profile [3]. Conclusions: The results from these studies reflect microbiome differences between obese and normal-weight children, however further investigation is needed to clarify the importance of microbiome composition on obesity at pediatric age. Nonetheless, is important to implement as soon as possible diverse measures to minimize this obesity pandemic in pediatric age, like the implementation of regular physical activities and exercises [4], healthier and more sustainable diets and food literacy.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A simple model for the analysis of tagging data is developed. This accounts for both harvest within stock components and migration between components. An exact matrix solution is provided for the simple case where all components are tagged in a year and extensions of this are constructed to handle the singular matrix situations where not all data are available for all years. This model is applied to inshore components of the Newfoundland Northern (NAFO subdivisions 2J3KL) cod stock and to inshore and offshore components of the 3Ps cod stock. Assessment of this stock is complicated by post moritorium fisheries being conducted only on inshore sub populations, (Lilly et al 2001). These are not fully covered in the groundfish survey which provide the main link to the pre-moritorium population estimates. Hence, assessments of abundance of these sub-populations must rest heavily on the results of tagging experiments. Results indicate that the biomass of components of the Northern cod have remained at about 40Kt for the past three years and that harvests rates have typically been of the order of 10% on the major 3L North component and rather higher on the 3K component during this period.

description: Background: Oral candidiasis is one of the most present fungal infections, with Candida albicans being the foremost responsible for this infection, but in recent years the non-Candida albicans Candida species play a significant role in the rise of cases of oral candidiasis [1]. Phenomena of resistance to regular antifungals are rising, which makes it harder to control cases of oral candidiasis. Thus, searching for new approaches like probiotics, and their use in the oral cavity, becomes necessary and urgent [2]. Here we present the antifungal activity of newly isolated oral strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri, a potential probiotic. Objective: Evaluation of Limosilactobacillus reuteri AJCR antifungal activity against reference strains of Candida spp.. Methods: Limosilactobacillus reuteri AJCR was isolated from the oral cavity of a healthy, caries free, volunteer, following the methodology of Rossini et al. [2]. Four reference strains, Candida albicans SC14, Nakaseomyces glabrata ATCC2001, C. tropicalis ATCC750, and C. parapsilosis ATCC22019, were used to evaluate the antifungal activity in planktonic cells. The methodology followed was adapted from the EUCAST guidelines. Different amounts of L. reuteri (108-102 CFU/mL, final concentration) were added, to standardized suspensions of the Candida strains studied. Results: At L. reuteri concentration of 108 CFU/mL, no viable cells of C. albicans SC5314 and of C. tropicalis ATCC750 were detected. At the same concentration, Nakaseomyces glabrata ATCC2001 suffered a reduction in growth of around 4 Log. Candida parapsilosis ATCC22019 suffered a reduction of around 2 Log at concentration of 107 CFU/mL of the oral isolate. Conclusions: Limosilactobacillus reuteri AJCR has shown an excellent antifungal activity against planktonic cells of C. albicans SC5314 and C. tropicalis ATCC750, and a significant reduction in the growth of Nakaseomyces glabrata ATCC2001 and C. parapsilosis ATCC22019. To further characterize the antifungal activity of the isolate, studies with biofilm cultures must be performed.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.For more than a century, scientists have used mark-recapture techniques as the principle means of describing the spatial dynamics of marine demersal fish species in the North Sea. Although such experiments have provided extensive datasets, the information is limited to the date and position at release and at recapture. Furthermore, these data may be biased due to the distribution of fishing effort. Recently however, electronic (archival) data storage tags (DST) have successfully been used to reconstruct the movements of free-ranging demersal fish between release and recapture. Data from DST experiments therefore, allow the calculation of fisheries independent migration parameters, and thereby provide a means of evaluating conventional tagging data. In the present study, we compared the migration patterns of North Sea plaice (Pleuronectes platessa L.) as inferred from a database of twentieth century tagging experiments, with data from 132 plaice tagged with DST.

description: Chemical reactions that couple to systems that phase separate have been implicated in diverse contexts from biology to materials science. However, how a particular set of chemical reactions (chemical reaction network, CRN) would affect the behaviors of a phase separating system is difficult to fully predict theoretically. In this paper, we analyze a mean field theory coupling CRNs to phase separating materials and expound on how the properties of the CRNs affect different classes of non-equilibrium behaviors: the emergence of microphase separation or of temporally oscillating patterns. We examine the problem of achieving microphase separated condensates by first considering tractable problems and illustrating the mathematical conditions leading to microphase separation. We then identify CRN motifs that are likely to yield size control by examining randomly generated networks and parameters. By analyzing the probabilities to observe particular states, we define simple design rules of CRNs that lead to desired non-equilibrium behavior. We show that chemical interactions generating negative feedback facilitate microphase separation, moreover, we demonstrate that the parameters important for the emergence of microphase separation differ for systems with two or four components, due to frustration. Our results provide guidance toward the design of self-regulating material CRNs and provide instructions to manage the formation, dissolution, and organization of compartments.

description: Vultures are on the verge of extinction in Bangladesh due to adverse environments. Once there were seven types of vultures in the country. Now, only the Bengal vulture is hardly seen. Therefore, the study aims to identify the threats to the vulture population in Bangladesh. It is revealed that the vulture in Bangladesh faces an onslaught of threats from veterinary painkilling drugs like Diclofenac and Ketoprofen. The supply of safe food has declined as the dead cattle are often buried or used as food in shrimp farms. The vulture is comfortable with floating carcasses on the wetlands more than the dead animals kept on the land. Due to the sharp decline of the wetlands, they face more competition from other scavengers like dogs to grab the food on the land. The illegal logging of tall trees, notably fan palms is destroying the roosting-nesting places for vultures. increased electricity coverage is causing more collision and electrocution, which is killing more vultures as the energy installations are not underpinned by sound bird-safe pole designs and correct siting. It was argued that the people of Bangladesh have a kind of adverse understanding of the vultures but they are not aware of the importance of the vulture conservation.

description: The study investigates the awareness of investors regarding the schemes provided by ESAF Small Finance Bank, a notable microfinance institution in India. Despite the bank's significant role in promoting rural economic development and enhancing financial inclusion, a notable gap exists in potential investors' awareness of its growth potential. The study highlights the necessity for increased awareness among investors about ESAF's initiatives and capabilities as a small finance bank. Additionally, the preferences of customers regarding various service and savings schemes offered by ESAF are examined. Basic offerings, such as Savings and Current Accounts, show moderate preference levels, while specialized products like Retail Loans and Insurance policies enjoy greater favour. A snowball sampling technique was employed, with a final sample size of 108 respondents from the Palakkad District of Kerala.  Data analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics and the Friedman rank test. The findings emphasize the importance of aligning marketing strategies and product development with the diverse needs of customers. The study also advocates for ESAF to utilize insights into customer preferences to refine its service offerings, improve customer satisfaction, and promote sustainable growth. Addressing the lack of investor awareness and adapting to the evolving needs of customers is crucial for ESAF Small Finance Bank to strengthen its market position and effectively contribute to rural economic development and financial inclusion.

description: Background: E. cloacae complex species are increasingly implicated in infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria, but their epidemiology is scarce due to the limitations of automated methods in accurate species identification (e.g. VITEK2/ MALDI–TOF MS) [1]. FT-IR is a promising quick, simple and low-cost alternative for bacterial discrimination [2]. Objective: We aim to assess the epidemiology of Enterobacter spp. isolates causing infections in two hospitals from North of Portugal, and the potential of FT-IR to differentiate the main clinically relevant Enterobacterspecies. Methods: We analyzed forty-five Enterobacter isolates from infection (n=43) or colonization (n=2) identified between 2019-2021 by VITEK2. Species identification was confirmed by PCR and sequencing of hsp60, used to build a phylogenetic tree with MEGA7 software. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed by standard methods according to EUCAST. Spectra from the most frequent species were acquired in the ATR mode of FT-IR equipment (Spectrum Two, Perkin-Elmer) in standardized conditions (4000-400cm-1; 4cm-1 resolution), processed (SNV, Saviztky-Golay) and used to identify species discriminatory profiles using PLSDA with Clover MS Data Analysis software, as described [3]. Results: Only 73% of the isolates were Enterobacter identified as E. hormaechei (n=19), E. kobei (n=7), E. asburiae (n=3), E. bugandensis (n=2), E. cloacae (n=1) and E. ludwigii (n=1). A few isolates produced VIM-1 (E. hormaechei), KPC (E. cloacae) or ESBL (4 species) The remaining isolates were identified as K. aerogenes (n=7), K. variicola (n=3), E. coli (n=1) and K. michiganensis (n=1). By using a PLSDA model, we were able to discriminate E. kobei and E. hormaechei with 92% average correct predictions. Conclusions: We found that E. hormaechei and E. kobei are the most frequent species causing hospital infections and that FT-IR can accurately differentiate these species, opening the possibility for its expansion to other E. cloacae complex species.

description: Earth's interior consists primarily of an insulating rocky mantle and a metallic iron-dominant core. Recent work has shown that mountain-scale structures at the core-mantle boundary may be highly enriched in FeO reported to exhibit high conductivity and metallic behavior at extreme pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions. However, the underlying electronic processes in FeO remain poorly understood and controversial. Here we systematically explore the electronic structure of B1-FeO at extreme conditions with large-scale theoretical modeling using state-of-the-art embedded dynamical mean field theory (eDMFT). Fine sampling of the phase diagram at more than 350 volume-temperature conditions reveals that, instead of sharp metallization, compression of FeO at high temperatures induces a gradual orbitally selective insulator-metal transition. Specifically, at P-T conditions of the lower mantle, FeO exists in an intermediate "quantum critical" state, characteristic of strongly correlated electronic matter. Transport in this regime, distinct from insulating or metallic behavior, is marked by incoherent diffusion of electrons in the conducting t_{2g} orbital and a band gap in the e_g orbital, resulting in moderate electrical conductivity (~ 10^5 S/m) with modest P -T dependence as observed in experiments. FeO-rich regions in Earth's lowermost mantle could thus influence electromagnetic interactions between the mantle and the core, producing several features observed in Earth's rotation and magnetic field evolution.

description: Background: Chronic wound infections are an emerging issue affecting millions of people globally, with profound psychological and socio-economic consequences [1]. Nonetheless, effective treatments to promote wound healing remain scarce [2]. Natural hydrogels appear as promising alternative wound dressings due to exudate absorption capacity and inherent wound-healing properties [3]. Objective: This study explores grape pomace (GP), the main residue of winemaking production, as a source of added-value raw material targeted for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus chronic wound infections. Methods: Crude GP extracts (constituted by stalks or a mixture of skin and seeds from red and white grape varieties) attained using a modified solid-liquid extraction (water, ethanol, and acetone) were evaluated for their antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH assays), total phenolic and total flavonoid content (TPC and TFC assay). A white GP extract was incorporated in a hydrogel composed of a chitosan-alginate matrix cross-linked by glutaraldehyde and calcium chloride. The proposed dressing was characterized by swelling, degradation, and release properties, and bioactivity was tested (antioxidant and antimicrobial activity). Results: Red GP extracts showed higher levels of polyphenol and flavonoid richness, but white GP extracts demonstrated superior extraction yields and antioxidant activity. Extract incorporation in the hydrogel improved its swelling and antimicrobial properties, such as bacterial membrane disruption and culturability reduction. Conclusions: This study resulted in a biomaterial with notable swelling and antibacterial capacity against S. aureus, with the potential to promote wound healing by exudate absorption and infection control. This offers alternatives for existing ineffective, side effects-laden treatments against a pathogen of clinical concern – S. aureus. Additionally, it contributes to the valorization of value wine production by-products, promoting a circular economy and mitigating environmental impacts.

description: Chemical separation processes are often energy intensive and their optimization requires a microscopic level understanding of chemical and transport phenomena. The work described in this dissertation studies the separation methods of solvent extraction. It employs the tools of computational chemistry, graph theory, and persistent homology to understand interfacial chemical processes and transport mechanisms involved in the migration of solute from the aqueous phase, through the interface, and into the organic phase. A complete understanding of these processes involves qualitative and quantitative characterization of molecular adsorption, organization, complexation, and dynamics within different instantaneous liquid phase boundary microenvironments. The dissertation work is categorized into three primary goals: 1.) understanding the intrinsic behavior of the liquid/liquid interface and ion behavior in response to solvent polarity and concentration gradients, 2.) identifying amphiphile assisted phase transport mechanisms of ion complexes, and 3.) development of tools for the understanding of chemical processes at these soft matter interfaces. The first goal involved understanding the impact of adsorption and structural heterogeneity of the interface on ion adsorption, speciation, and dynamics. This was followed by a comparison of ion complexation in the bulk and at the water/oil interface in the presence of electrolyte concentration gradients. The second goal involved studying the generalizability of protrusions as a universal transport mechanism of complex chemical species across the liquid/liquid phase boundary. Towards the third goal, an analysis methodology based on sublevel set persistent homology was devised to analyze adsorbate organization in the presence of highly complex interfacial conditions. The research outlined in the dissertation shows that amphiphiles modulate interfacial adsorption and structural heterogeneity driving molecular competition that impacts ion-specific adsorption, speciation, and molecular dynamics. It is demonstrated that protrusion-based transport mechanisms are responsible for the extraction of a variety of solutes ranging from water to metal-ligand complexes. It is shown that the efficiency of protrusion formation and transport is highly system specific and greatly dependent upon the heterogeneity of molecular interactions within interfacial microenvironments.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A nonparametric model is developed for estimating growth of Atlantic cod in NAFO Subdivision 3Ps and Divisions 3KL during 1997-2000 based on Þshery tag-returns. The tag-returns provide information on lengths at release and capture, and time to capture. One use of the growth curves is to account for Þshing gear length selectionwhenestimatingÞshery exploitation rates using tagging information. We use a simple version of the Von Bertalanﬀy growth model, modiÞed to accommodate seasonal variations in growth rates. The growth rates are modelled using spline methods, which leads to a growth curve model that includes a monotone spline component. A measurement bias component is also incorporated in the model because the tag-return data suggest that there is some bias in the lengths-at-capture reported by Þshermen. The interesting implications of intra-population variability in growth rates are also considered. We use the estimated model to predict cod growth for times-at-liberty ranging from 0-4 years; for example, we estimate that a 40 cm Þsh will grow 28 cm during 1997-2000, but in the same period a 90 cm Þsh will grow only 9 cm.

description: Background: The issue of indoor contamination stands as a global health challenge, contributing to the spread of infectious diseases [1,2]. Consequently, there is an urgent need to explore new disinfection strategies that rely on reduced concentrations of conventional cleaning chemicals [3,4]. Objective: This study aimed to explore innovative disinfection approaches utilizing far-UV-C (222 nm) radiation along with chlorine and mechanical cleaning, offering a promising solution with minimal application doses. Methods: The study assessed the bactericidal efficacy of far-UV-C (222 nm) at various intensities (78.4 μW/cm2 to 597.7 μW/cm2 for 1 minute) against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis cells adhered to polystyrene microtiter plates by cellular culturability. Furthermore, combinations with mechanical cleaning (ultrasounds for 1 minute) and free chlorine (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mg/L for 5 minutes) were tested. The triple combination of mechanical cleaning + free chlorine (0.5 mg/L) + far-UV-C (54 mJ/cm2) was also evaluated against bacteria adhered to materials commonly found in hospital settings and other public spaces: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), stainless steel (SS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Results: Disinfection with far-UV-C (54 mJ/cm2) and free chlorine at 0.5 mg/L for 5 minutes achieved a complete reduction of culturable E. coli cells and a logarithmic reduction of 2.98 ± 0.03
CFU/cm2 for S. epidermidis. The triple combination resulted in a total reduction of culturable cells for both adhered bacteria. Bacterial adhesion to PVC, SS, and PEEK varied, influencing the bactericidal activity of the triple combination, with logarithmic reductions of up to 3 CFU/cm2. Conclusions: The study underscores the efficiency of far-UV-C (54 mJ/cm2) combined with chlorine (0.5 mg/L; 5 minutes) and mechanical cleaning (1 minute) as an effective disinfection strategy under mild conditions. Utilizing a combination of mechanical and chemical disinfection strategies is recommended to detect regrowth events and enhance the effectiveness of microbial growth control.
