description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials have emerged as promising candidates for next-generation integrated single-photon emitters (SPEs). However, significant variability in the emission energies of 2D SPEs presents a major challenge in producing identical single photons from different SPEs, which may become crucial for various quantum applications including quantum information processing. Although various approaches to dynamically tuning the emission energies of 2D SPEs have been developed to address the issue, the practical solution to matching multiple individual SPEs in a single 2D flake is still scarce. In this work, we demonstrate a precise emission energy tuning of individual SPEs in a WSe2 monolayer. Our approach utilizes localized strain fields near individual SPEs, which we control independently by adjusting the physical volume of an SU-8-based stressor layer via focused laser annealing. This technique allows continuous emission energy tuning of up to 15 meV while maintaining the qualities of SPEs. Additionally, we showcase the precise spectral alignment of three distinct SPEs in a single WSe2 monolayer to the same wavelength. The tunability of 2D SPEs represents a solid step towards the on-chip integrated photonics with 2D materials for quantum technologies.

description: Tyrosinase is an enzyme implicated in fruit ripening and the browning of plant parts exposed to mechanical injury. Tyrosinase has numerous reported biotechnological importance. This enzyme was extracted from the waste peels of Musa cavendish, purified via aqueous two-phase partitioning system (ATPS) and QAE-Sephadex ion-exchange chromatography. The purified tyrosinase was biochemically characterized. Tyrosinase was thereafter immobilized, characterized, and applied in the oxidation of phenols in model wastewaters. After purification, the yield and fold obtained were 23% and 8.0 respectively. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 43.0 kDa. The purified enzyme had an optimum pH and temperature of 6.5 and 60 °C respectively. The kcatKm  (M−1s−1) obtained for substrates such as L-DOPA, catechol and pyrogallol were 3.6 × 104, 3.8 × 104 and 1.6 × 104  respectively. The purified enzyme was stable in organic solvents: acetone > ethanol > methanol > n-butanol. Quercetin, ascorbic acid, l-cysteine and arginine were potent inhibitors. The immobilized tyrosinase was more resistant to thermoinactivation than the free enzyme as evidenced by its kinetic (kd, t1/2)  and thermodynamic (ΔGd*, ΔHd*, ΔSd*) characteristics. The immobilized tyrosinase removed 70% of 650-µM phenol after 2 h compared to 50% removal by the free tyrosinase. After six repeated cycles of phenol biodegradation using the immobilized enzyme, about 40% of phenol was removed. The fresh peels of M. cavendish served as a green-based source of relatively thermostable immobilized tyrosinase deployable in large-scale biodegradation of phenol-containing wastewater.

description: Kinetic resolution of racemates with lipases is the preferred method for producing bioactive compounds. One strategy for obtaining highly enantioselective lipases that are stable in the organic media that are often used in these reactions is to improve existing lipases by protein engineering. In this work, we engineered the lipase LipC12, which has good stability in organic media, but only moderate enantioselectivity. Molecular docking with LipC12 identified V261 as a key position influencing, first, enantioselectivity in the transesterification of (RS)-1-phenylethanol and, second, activity in the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl octanoate. Variants were then obtained by site-directed mutagenesis, expressed in Escherichia coli, and their performance in these reactions was evaluated. Enzymes immobilized on Immobead 150 were used in the transesterification while free enzyme was used in the hydrolysis reaction. It was not possible to increase the hydrolytic activity and enantioselectivity simultaneously: some variants had increased enantioselectivity but lower hydrolytic activity, and others had increased hydrolytic activity but lower enantioselectivity. The best result for enantioselectivity was obtained for LipC12V261Q, with an increase of the E-value (for (R)-1-phenylethanol) from 46 to 110, however, its hydrolytic activity decreased 4-fold in comparison to LipC12wt. The highest hydrolytic activity was obtained for LipC12V261F, with a value almost 6-fold higher than that of LipC12wt. This variant also had an inverted enantiopreference (i.e. for (S)-1-phenylethanol), but with a very low E-value of only 4.

description: Il-DyP4, a dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from Irpex lacteus F17, has a strong ability to oxidise harmful aromatic compounds, implying application potential in the field of environmental protection. However, the low H2O2 stability of Il-DyP4 hinders its practical application. To improve the H2O2 stability of Il-DyP4, oxidation-sensitive amino acids including three Met, one Cys and ten Tyr residues were mutated to less easily oxidizable residues such as Leu, Val and Phe by site-specific mutagenesis. Mutation of the M207 site, located on the surface of the enzyme and far away from the haem group, improved H2O2 stability by 5.3-fold or more. In addition, Y234, also on the enzyme surface, was replaced with Phe and the Y234F mutant displayed 7.3-fold increased H2O2 stability. Furthermore, mutants M207V and Y234F were selected for the decolorization of various types of synthetic dyes, revealing high decolorization activities, especially for M207V with enhanced catalytic activity. The stable DyP mutant M207V has the potential for decolorization of industrial dye wastewater.

description: Lactobionic acid (LBA) has diverse number of applications in pharmaceutical, food, chemical and nanotechnology fields. Bioproduction of LBA by bi-enzymatic cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH)/laccase (LAC) is a system where CDH catalyses oxidation of lactose to LBA, whilst LAC has, at the same time, ability to regenerate the redox mediator as electron acceptor for CDH. In this study, CDH mutants derived from Phanerochaete chrysosporium produced in Pichia pastoris were used to determine LBA production rate with varying number of redox mediators. The highest specific productivity was observed for triple mutant CDH (tmCDH) for all redox mediators used in this study. The notable redox mediator was hydroquinone where specific productivity was 29.14 g L−1 kU−1 for tmCDH while specific productivity with DCIP was 27.2 g L−1 kU−1, with ABTS showed 19.1 g L−1 kU−1.

description: Immobilization of enzymes is a very attractive technique to develop efficient and cost-effective bioprocesses. In present investigation, immobilization of partially purified α-galactosidase from Penicillium aculeatum APS1 (APS1αgal) was carried out on chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles, Fe3O4. Immobilization conditions such as enzyme concentration, amount of chitosan coated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNP), pH and time for immobilization were optimised and maximum immobilization yield of 45 ± 2% and activity yield of 47 ± 3% were achieved. Immobilized particles were characterised by thermal analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The surface morphology of particles was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, biochemical properties of free and immobilized enzymes were compared. Thermostability and storage stability of APS1αgal were found to be improved after immobilization. Reusability of immobilized APS1αgal was assessed and it was found to retain 65% activity after 12 consecutive cycles. Further experiments were conducted to assess the ability of immobilized APS1αgal for removal of raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFO) in soymilk. During batch hydrolysis, about 80% removal of RFO was achieved. Hydrolysis of RFO was confirmed by TLC analysis. Immobilized APS1αgal was able to carry out hydrolysis of RFO up to 45% even after 7 cycles. Overall, results of this study show the potential of immobilized APS1αgal for efficient removal of non-digestible RFO in soymilk.

description: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are brucite-like nanomaterials that have been used to immobilize several enzymes. However, layered hydroxide salts (LHSs), another group of brucite-like nanomaterials, have not yet been used for enzyme immobilization. In this work, we prepared two types of layered hydroxide salts, zinc hydroxide nitrate (ZHN: Zn5(OH)8(NO3)2.2H2O) and zinc hydroxide chloride (ZHC: Zn5(OH)8Cl2.H2O) and used them to immobilize Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (LipPS). The best protein loading for both ZHN and ZHC was 162.5 mg g−1 of LHS, which gave high values of triolein-hydrolyzing activity in organic medium (103 U g−1 for LipPS-ZHN and 105 U g−1 for LipPS-ZHC), immobilization efficiencies above 90% and activity retentions above 170%. In the kinetic resolution of (R,S)-1-phenylethanol, LipPS-ZHN gave better results, with 50% conversion being obtained in 2 h and an ees of 99%. With LipPS-ZHC, the conversion at 2 h was 40% and the ees, was lower, only 73%. For both immobilized materials, the eep was higher than 99% and E was higher than 200. The immobilized materials were stable after 5 cycles of reuse in successive 2-h kinetic resolutions. These results demonstrate that the layered hydroxide salts ZHN and ZHC have good potential as supports for the immobilization of lipases.

Are Final Comments in Web Survey Panels Associated with Next-Wave Attrition?

Year: 2016

description: Near the end of a web survey respondents are often asked whether they have further comments. Such final comments are usually ignored, in part because open-ended questions are challenging to analyse. We explored whether final comments are associated with next-wave attrition in survey panels. We categorized a random sample of final comments in the Longitudinal Studies for the Social Sciences (LISS) panel and Dutch Immigrant panel into one of eight categories (neutral, positive, six subcategories of negative) and regressed the indicator of next-wave attrition on comment length, comment category and socio-demographic variables. In the Immigrant panel we found shorter final comments (55 words) with decreased next-wave attrition relative to making no comment. Comments about unclear survey questions quadruple the odds of attrition and “other” (uncategorized) negative comments almost double the odds of attrition. In the LISS panel, making a comment (vs. not) and comment length are not associated with attrition. However, when specifying individual comment categories, neutral comments are associated with half the odds of attrition relative to not making a comment.

description: Refusal conversion is one of the fieldwork strategies commonly used to minimise non-response in surveys. There is, however, relatively little evidence about the effectiveness of this strategy, particularly for face-to-face longitudinal surveys. Moreover, much of the existing evidence is based on observational studies. This paper evaluates the effectiveness of a fieldwork strategy – intensive re-issuing - to convert refusals using evidence from an intervention on a random sub-sample of refusals implemented in wave four of a large scale longitudinal study in the UK: the Millennium Cohort Study. We show that intensive re-issuing is an effective way of reducing the refusal rate. We also show that refusal conversion led to a modest reduction in non-response bias in the survey estimates for several key variables. The longer term impact of refusal conversion is also a key concern in longitudinal surveys. We demonstrate that, although the majority of converted refusals go on to participate in the subsequent wave of the study, there is no overall effect of intensive re-issuing on sample size at this wave.

Longitudinal Wealth Data and Multiple Imputation--An Evaluation Study

Year: 2016
Subjects: Panel data; SOEP survey; evaluation; simulation; missing at random; item non-response

description: Statistical analysis in surveys is generally facing missing data. In longitudinal studies for some missing values there might be past or future data points available. The question arises how to successfully transform this advantage into improved imputation strategies. In a simulation study the authors compare six combinations of cross-sectional and longitudinal imputation strategies for German wealth panel data. The authors create simulation data sets by blanking out observed data points: they induce item non response by a missing at random (MAR) and two differential non-response (DNR) mechanisms. We test the performance of multiple imputation using chained equations (MICE), an imputation procedure for panel data known as the row-and-column method and a regression prediction with correction for sample selection. The regression and MICE approaches serve as fallback methods, when only cross-sectional data is available. The row-and-column method performs surprisingly well considering the cross-sectional evaluation criteria. For trend estimates and the measurement of inequality, combining MICE with the row-and-column technique regularly improves the results based on a catalogue of six evaluation criteria including three separate inequality indices. As for wealth mobility, two additional criteria show that a model based approach such as MICE might be the preferable choice. Overall the results show that if the variables, which ought to be imputed, are highly skewed, the row-and-column technique should not be dismissed beforehand.

Can we assess representativeness of cross-national surveys using the education variable?

Publisher: name: European Survey Research Association
Year: 2016
Subjects: education; comparability; cross-cultural surveys; representativeness; sample quality

description: Achieving a representative sample is an important goal for every survey. High response rates are often referred to as an indicator of representativeness in survey methodology research. However, a low response rate does not necessarily imply low representativeness, so that alternative ways of assessing representativeness are needed in times where low response rates are almost ubiquitous. This study asks whether education, a socio-demographic variable covered by virtually every survey of individuals, is a good variable for assessing the representativeness of a realised survey sample. We examine this issue in two steps: Firstly, the distributions of the harmonised education variable in six official and academic cross-national surveys by country-year combination are compared with the respective education distributions in a high-quality reference dataset. Doing so, we identify many substantial inconsistencies. Secondly, we try to identify the sources of these inconsistencies, looking at both measurement errors in the education variables and errors of representation. Since in most instances, inconsistent measurement procedures can probably explain the observed inconsistencies, we conclude that the education variable as currently measured in cross-national surveys is, without further processing, unsuitable for assessing sample representativeness, and constructing nonresponse weights. The paper closes with recommendations for achieving a more comparable measurement of the education variable.

Sensitive Questions in Online Surveys: An Experimental Evaluation of Different Implementations of the Randomized Response Technique and the Crosswise Model

description: Self-administered online surveys may provide a higher level of privacy protection to respondents than surveys administered by an interviewer. Yet, studies indicate that asking sensitive questions is problematic also in self-administered surveys. Because respondents might not be willing to reveal the truth and provide answers that are subject to social desirability bias, the validity of prevalence estimates of sensitive behaviors from online surveys can be challenged. A well-known method to overcome these problems is the Randomized Response Technique (RRT). However, convincing evidence that the RRT provides more valid estimates than direct questioning in online surveys is still lacking. We therefore conducted an experimental study in which different implementations of the RRT, including two implementations of the so-called crosswise model, were tested and compared to direct questioning. Our study is an online survey (N = 6,037) on sensitive behaviors by students such as cheating in exams and plagiarism. Results vary considerably between different implementations, indicating that practical details have a strong effect on the performance of the RRT. Among all tested implementations, including direct questioning, the unrelated-question crosswise-model RRT yielded the highest estimates of student misconduct.

description: Reducing citizens’ fear of crime is a salient policy topic in Western
societies. For the measurement of fear of crime, variations of a single
item measure (Is there any area near where you live  that is, within a
mile  where you would be afraid to walk alone at night?) have been
used in hundreds of surveys for half a century. Despite a long and on-
going discussion on the doubtful usefulness of this standard indicator,
no estimate for the reliability of this item is available. Using panel data
from the British Household Panel Survey in combination with the UK
Household Longitudinal Survey, reliability and stability of the stan-
dard fear of crime indicator are estimated using quasi-Markov simplex
models for the rst time. The model shows estimated reliabilities of
about .67 for the standard indicator. This result is compared with re-
sults for other single item measures using the same data set. Finally,
comparisons with reliability recommendations and recent reviews of
survey measures are reported.

He wanted to have a religion in the sense of 'spiritual principles', truly 'universal' and applicable to all times, to all countries and to all races.  He concluded that this religion must be destroyed and there was nothing irreligious in working for the destruction of such a religion. The newly converted Buddhists themselves were convinced that they were very inaccurate indeed and that the number of Buddhists in India was actually far greater than the census returns showed, and in this they were undoubtedly right, though perhaps not quite to the extent that some of them believed.  Some of those who thus remained suspended in a kind of limbo, able neither really to leave the hell of Hinduism and caste nor really to enter the heaven of Buddhism and equality, were unwilling to declare themselves Buddhists because they were afraid that, if they did so, they would be subject to harassment by the more militant Caste Hindus, who in some places were actually attacking and killing the newly converted Buddhists for daring to renounce their ancestral religion. He wanted to have a religion in the sense of 'spiritual principles', truly 'universal' and applicable to all times, to all countries and to all races.

description: Glomerulonephritis is a kind of kidney disease. It involves damage to the glomeruli, tiny filters inside your kidneys. It’s caused by a variety of things, from infections to problems with the immune system. Sometimes glomerulonephritis is mild and soon goes away. Other times it hangs around and leads to kidney failure and other complications. Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a term used to refer to several kidney diseases (usually affecting both kidneys). Many of the diseases are characterized by inflammation either of the glomeruli or of the small blood vessels in the kidneys, hence the name, [1] but not all diseases necessarily have an inflammatory component.As it is not strictly a single disease, its presentation depends on the specific disease entity: it may present with isolated hematuria and/or proteinuria (blood or protein in the urine); or as a nephrotic syndrome, a nephritic syndrome, acute kidney injury, or chronic kidney disease. They are categorized into several different pathological patterns, which are broadly grouped into non-proliferative or proliferative types. Diagnosing the pattern of GN is important because the outcome and treatment differ in different types. Primary causes are intrinsic to the kidney. Secondary causes are associated with certain infections (bacterial, viral or parasitic pathogens), drugs, systemic disorders (SLE, vasculitis), or diabetes.

Subjects: Service Quality, Organizational Commitment, Workplace Spirituality, Team Effectiveness, Structural Equation Model, Barangay Health Workers.

description: Abstract

Service quality in community healthcare encountered shortages of workers, as well as insufficient facilities and services. Despite extensive research on service quality, there remains a dearth of literature exploring models that incorporate organizational commitment, workplace spirituality, and team effectiveness. This research employs a quantitative causal method by utilizing a structural equation model (SEM) to establish the best-fit model for understanding the interplay of variables. The findings revealed a significant relationship between exogenous and endogenous variables. The findings also depicted that the generated model 3 was the best-fit model and successfully passed all the tests for a reasonable fit.

description: Gallium phosphide (GaP) is a III–V semiconductor with remarkable optoelectronic properties, and it has almost the same lattice constant as silicon (Si). However, to date, the monolithic and large-scale integration of GaP devices with silicon remains challenging. In this study, we present a nanoheteroepitaxy approach using gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy for selective growth of GaP islands on Si nanotips, which were fabricated using complementary metal–oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology on a 200 mm n-type Si(001) wafer. Our results show that GaP islands with sizes on the order of hundreds of nanometers can be successfully grown on CMOS-compatible wafers. These islands exhibit a zinc-blende phase and possess optoelectronic properties similar to those of a high-quality epitaxial GaP layer. This result marks a notable advancement in the seamless integration of GaP-based devices with high scalability into Si nanotechnology and integrated optoelectronics.
