description: Uridine diphosphate-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) is an acetylated amino sugar nucleotide that naturally serves as precursor in bacterial cell wall synthesis and is involved in prokaryotic and eukaryotic glycosylation reactions. UDP-GlcNAc finds application in various fields including the production of oligosaccharides and glycoproteins with therapeutic benefits. At present, nucleotide sugars are produced either chemically or in vitro by enzyme cascades. However, chemical synthesis is complex and non-economical, and in vitro synthesis requires costly substrates and often purified enzymes. A promising alternative is the microbial production of nucleotide sugars from cheap substrates. In this study, we aimed to engineer the non-pathogenic, Gram-positive soil bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum as a host for UDP-GlcNAc production. The native glmS, glmU, and glmM genes and glmM of Escherichia coli, encoding the enzymes for UDP-GlcNAc synthesis from fructose-6-phosphate, were over-expressed in different combinations and from different plasmids in C. glutamicum GRS43, which lacks the glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase gene (nagB) for glucosamine degradation. Over-expression of glmS, glmU and glmM, encoding glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase, the bifunctional glucosamine-1-phosphate acetyltransferase/N-acetyl glucosamine-1-phosphate uridyltransferase and phosphoglucosamine mutase, respectively, was confirmed using activity assays or immunoblot analysis. While the reference strain C. glutamicum GlcNCg1 with an empty plasmid in the exponential growth phase contained intracellularly only about 0.25 mM UDP-GlcNAc, the best engineered strain GlcNCg4 accumulated about 14 mM UDP-GlcNAc. The extracellular UDP-GlcNAc concentrations in the exponential growth phase did not exceed 2 mg/L. In the stationary phase, about 60 mg UDP-GlcNAc/L was observed extracellularly with strain GlcNCg4, indicating the potential of C. glutamicum to produce and to release the activated sugar into the culture medium. To our knowledge, the observed UDP-GlcNAc levels are the highest obtained with microbial hosts, emphasizing the potential of C. glutamicum as a suitable platform for activated sugar production.

description: The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is Endangered, at risk of extinction in the wild from ongoing habitat loss due to clearing, drought and fire. In late 2019 and in 2020 Australia experienced widespread severe wildfires and many threatened species were adversely affected. I surveyed a 230 hectare forested property with known koala habitat near Crows Nest, Queensland, Australia, after wildfire in November 2019, to assess impact, and then for three years to assess recovery of koala habitat. The most fire-resilient tree species and forest types were identified for koala habitat. Koala preference for tree species and forest type was also assessed. Fire severity and subsequent recovery were classified using field characters. Remote sensing data (Sentinel-2, dNBR) was ground-truthed within the property to assess burn severity at the local scale and then extrapolated to assess regional impacts of fire on koala habitat forest types across 12,000 km2. A series of annual ground surveys on the property aligned field data with the remote sensing data to test how well these remote sensing techniques assess recovery of koala habitat, as impacted by burn extent and severity. The regional study used a large koala sighting dataset to determine if areas with koalas tend to burn; if koalas are selective for forest type, terrain, tree species and tree size; if koala populations recover after fire. Fire promoted epicormic shooting along tree stems, but at extreme fire severity, coppicing was the dominant response. High fire severity was tolerated by most preferred koala tree species, but tree mortality increased significantly with extreme fire severity. From five koala habitat forest types studied, one upland type burnt significantly more severely and extensively than the others, but recovered. The dNBR measured foliar recovery, but not specifically epicormic shooting and coppicing, which would go on to form canopy. Koalas did not occur in areas that burnt any more than unburnt areas. Koalas preferred certain tree species and forest types. Koala presence decreased after the first year of fire recovery, but increased slightly in the fourth year. Koalas used two-thirds of 120 Regional Ecosystems in the region, but notably preferred two REs, with negative mean dNBR, thus unburnt. This suggests koalas might prefer unburnt REs. Koalas preferred flatter, lower elevations and southern and eastern aspects, and are selective for forest type, tree species and tree size. We found koala population recovery after fire can take years, not months, and may be due to time taken for tree recovery, but modified koala movement behaviour and koala deaths may also be factors.

description: Der anthropogene Klimawandel durch Emissionen an klimawirksamen Gasen, insbesondere CO2 aus der Nutzung fossiler Brennstoffe, stellt eine der großen globalen Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts dar. Um die negativen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Menschen und Umwelt zu begrenzen, soll die Erderwärmung bezogen auf das vorindustrielle Zeitalter, nicht mehr als 1,5 °C betragen. Fossil befeuerte Kraftwerke sind für ca. 40 % des globalen Ausstoßes an klimawirksamem CO2 verantwortlich. Zur Senkung der CO2-Emissionen von Kraftwerken und als Maßnahme gegen den Klimawandel werden gegenwärtig verschiedene Verfahren diskutiert und erforscht. Neben der Substitution fossiler Brennstoffe, der Effizienzsteigerung und neuen Verbrennungsverfahren, stellt die nachgeschaltete CO2-Abtrennung aus Rauchgasen eine vielversprechende Maßnahme dar. Die Abtrennung erfolgt hierbei durch einen der konventionellen Rauchgasreinigung nachgeschalteten, chemischen Waschprozess mit wässrigen Aminlösungen. Mit Hilfe von Amingruppen wird das CO2 aus dem Rauchgas absorbiert und nachfolgend in einem Regenerationsprozess durch Temperaturerhöhung und Strippen mit Dampf wieder ausgetrieben, wodurch die Lösung erneut als Absorptionslösung verwendet werden kann. Vorteile dieses Verfahrens sind die Möglichkeit einer Nachrüstung von bestehenden Kraftwerksanlagen sowie die Bereitstellung eines reinen CO2-Stroms für die zunehmend diskutierte stoffliche Nutzung. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird als verfahrenstechnische Alternative zur Aminwäsche mit konventionellen Packungs- oder Füllkörperkolonnen der Einsatz eines Sprühwäschers im Technikumsmaßstab untersucht. Sprühwäscher weisen unter anderem einen geringeren gasseitigen Druckverlust und einen flexibleren Betrieb auf, allerdings ist aufgrund der fehlenden Einbauten die wirksame Stoffaustauschfläche im Wesentlichen auf das Spray begrenzt. Der Fokus dieser Arbeit liegt auf der Entwicklung und experimentellen Erprobung verschiedener Maßnahmen, um den Stoffübergang in Sprühwäscheanlagen zur Abtrennung von CO2 mit wässrigen Aminlösungen zu steigern. Als Absorptionslösung wird eine wässrige 30 Gew.-%ige Monoethanolaminlösung (MEA) verwendet. Hierfür werden nach einer umfangreichen Untersuchung des Einflusses des L/G-Verhältnisses und der spezifischen Heizleistung in einer Sprühwäscheanlage eine interne Absorptionsmittel-Rezirkulation innerhalb der Absorberkolonne sowie ein Tray-Einsatz untersucht. Abschließend wird der zusätzliche Einfluss einer Bündeldüse aus einzelnen Hohlkegeldüsen erprobt und die Ergebnisse bewertet.

description: Research on the effectiveness and applicability of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) via videoconference is sparse. Considering the emerging use of internet-based psychotherapy during the COVID-19 pandemic, information on videoconference-based EMDR (eEMDR) would be beneficial for many therapists. In this study, 23 therapists from the EMDR-Institute in Germany provided information about their experiences with eEMDR in a questionnaire-based survey. Information on the effectiveness and the course of 102 eEMDR sessions was recorded. Results showed the potential of eEMDR as an effective and viable method. The decrease in the subjective unit of disturbance (SUD), which is an important indicator of treatment outcome, was found to be at a similar level compared to that of previous EMDR studies that were not administered in eEMDR format. The most important predictor of the SUD decrease was the type of bilateral stimulation used in eEMDR sessions. Eye movements resulted in significantly greater SUD reductions than tapping. Perceived disadvantages and impediments for the implementation of eEMDR were mainly of bureaucratic and technical concerns. In addition, about one-third of the therapists stated that some patients were not willing to engage in eEMDR. In our study, eEMDR proved to be a practically applicable therapy method and therefore, therapists can consider using eEMDR. These findings will hopefully encourage EMDR therapists and their patients to use eEMDR due to its effectiveness and viability as an online treatment approach.

description: The hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche is a specialized microenvironment, where a complex and dynamic network of interactions across multiple cell types regulates HSC function. During the last years, it became progressively clearer that changes in the HSC niche are responsible for specific alterations of HSC behavior. The aging of the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment has been shown to critically contribute to the decline in HSC function over time. Interestingly, while upon aging some niche structures within the BM are degenerated and negatively affect HSC functionality, other niche cells and specific signals are preserved and essential to retaining HSC function and regenerative capacity. These new findings on the role of the aging BM niche critically depend on the implementation of new technical tools, developed thanks to transdisciplinary approaches, which bring together different scientific fields. For example, the development of specific mouse models in addition to coculture systems, new 3D-imaging tools, ossicles, and ex-vivo BM mimicking systems is highlighting the importance of new technologies to unravel the complexity of the BM niche on aging. Of note, an exponential impact in the understanding of this biological system has been recently brought by single-cell sequencing techniques, spatial transcriptomics, and implementation of artificial intelligence and deep learning approaches to data analysis and integration. This review focuses on how the aging of the BM niche affects HSCs and on the new tools to investigate the specific alterations occurring in the BM upon aging. All these new advances in the understanding of the BM niche and its regulatory function on HSCs have the potential to lead to novel therapeutical approaches to preserve HSC function upon aging and disease.

description: My PhD work achieved the first comprehensive understanding of plastic pollution in the Galápagos, including the species affected, those at greatest risk, and the identification of pollution sources. It also established a baseline for health and plastic pollution metrics in endemic and native species such as marine iguanas, green sea turtles, and black-striped salemas. Our findings revealed plastic pollution in all wildlife habitats surveyed, including water, sediment, and beaches, as well as in 91% of the sampled marine wildlife populations. While current plastic pollution levels are not severe enough to cause immediate health problems, the presence of such pollution in Ecuador’s pristine and protected areas is alarming. Our study provides the first insight into the knowledge gap between wildlife health and plastic pollution, utilizing state-of-the-art research techniques. Our results have already been used as a foundation for solid scientific arguments and concrete actions to address the global issue of plastic pollution, such as in the negotiations of the plastic treaty, where Ecuador is an active participant. Overall, the findings of this PhD research emphasize the pervasive nature of plastic pollution globally, including the Galápagos, and highlight the urgent need for comprehensive mitigation strategies to protect the region's unique biodiversity while there is still time to act.

description: The ability to assess food quality is crucial to all organisms. Fleshy fruits are a major source of nutrients to various animals, and unlike most food sources, have evolved to be attractive and to be consumed by animals to promote seed dispersal. It has recently been established that fruit scent—the bouquet of volatile chemicals emitted by ripe fruit—is an evolved communication system between plants and animals. Further, it has been argued that chemicals that are synthesized from sugar and its products may be an honest signal for sugar content and fruit quality. Elephants are important seed dispersers for numerous species and possess an olfactory system that is likely to outperform most other animals. We tested the hypothesis that fruit scent signifies sugar content and that elephants are capable of assessing fruit sugar levels based on scent alone. Using a paired-choice test of marula fruits (Sclerocarya birrea) by semitame African elephants, we show that elephants are capable of identifying more sugar-rich fruits based on scent alone and that this is likely based on two chemical compounds: ethanol and ethyl acetate, both downstream products of sugar fermentation. These results shed light on the mechanisms driving elephant feeding ecology, plant signaling, and the coevolutionary process between angiosperms and animal seed dispersers.

description: Interband cascade lasers (ICL) are high output power mid-infrared light sources with low power consumption, serving as a viable alternative to more commonly applied quantum cascade lasers. The integration of ICLs with thin-film waveguides facilitates miniaturized sensing platforms based on the principles of evanescent field absorption toward tailorable high-fidelity portable mid-infrared (MIR) sensing solutions for on-site chemical analysis. The analytical performance of a MIR sensing system is presented combining a tunable interband cascade laser emitting at a wavelength range of 5.88–6.09 µm (1702–1641 cm−1) with a 6 µm GaAs/AlGaAs thin-film waveguide as the active transducer for customized evanescent field absorption analysis of food contaminants. A comparison of the analytical performance of the developed tICL-based system vs conventional Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy is presented for the exemplary analysis of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol, a persistent food contaminant resulting from fungal infection. The thin-film waveguide enhances the sensitivity compared to conventional attenuated total reflection systems, revealing improved detection limits. The compact design of the system, along with the favorable analytical figures-of-merit and automated data processing, confirm the potential of the developed tICL-based spectrometer for on-site detection of food contaminants at various stages along the food supply chain.

description: In this study, we report the first combination of mid-infrared (MIR) interband cascade light emitting diodes (ICLEDs) with a central emission wavelength at 4.0 μm and 3.4 μm, respectively, combined with a substrate-integrated hollow waveguide (iHWG) for the detection of CO2 and CH4 analyzing the antisymmetric stretching of CO2 at 2345 cm−1, and the CH stretching rovibrational mode of CH4 at 3020 cm−1. The obtained calibration functions in the concentration range from 1000 to 10 000 ppmV enabled deriving detection limits in the range of 386–407 ppmV for CO2, and of 302–338 ppmV for CH4. The combination of iHWG and ICLED technology is a pioneering step toward a new generation of miniaturized and low-cost mid-infrared optical sensing devices for rapid gas diagnostics and exceedingly small sample volumes.

description: In many modern applications, a dependent functional response is observed for each subject over repeated time, leading to longitudinal functional data. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical procedure to test whether the mean function varies over time. Our approach relies on reducing the dimension of the response using data-driven orthogonal projections, and employs likelihood-based hypothesis testing. We investigate the methodology theoretically and discuss a computationally efficient implementation. The proposed test maintains the Type-1 error rate, and shows excellent power to detect departures from the null hypothesis in finite sample simulation studies. We apply our method to the longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging study of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients to formally assess whether the brain's healthy tissue, as summarised by the fractional anisotropy (FA) profile, degrades over time during the study period.

description: Anthropogenic changes in land use and land cover (LULC) during the pre-industrial Holocene could have affected regional and global climate. Current LULC scenarios are based on relatively simple assumptions and highly uncertain estimates of population changes through time. Archaeological and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions have the potential to refine these assumptions and estimates. The Past Global Changes (PAGES) LandCover6k initiative is working towards improved reconstructions of LULC globally. In this paper, we document the types of archaeological data that are being collated and how they will be used to improve LULC reconstructions. Given the large methodological uncertainties involved, we propose methods to evaluate the revised scenarios by using independent pollen-based reconstructions of land cover and of climate. A further test involves carbon-cycle simulations to determine whether the LULC reconstructions are consistent with constraints provided by ice-core records of CO2 evolution and modern-day LULC. Finally, we outline a protocol for using the improved LULC reconstructions in palaeoclimate simulations within the framework of the Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project in order to quantify the magnitude of anthropogenic impacts on climate through time and ultimately to improve the realism of Holocene climate simulations.

Rock slope temperature evolution and micrometer-scale deformation at a retreating glacier margin

Rock slope deformation

description: In deglaciating environments, rock mass weakening and potential formation of rock slope instabilities is driven by long-term and seasonal changes in thermal- and hydraulic boundary conditions, combined with unloading due to ice melting. However, in-situ observations are rare. In this study, we present new monitoring data from three highly instrumented boreholes, and numerical simulations to investigate rock slope temperature evolution and micrometer-scale deformation during deglaciation. Our results show that the subsurface temperatures are adjusting to a new, warmer surface temperature following ice retreat. Heat conduction is identified as the dominant heat transfer process at sites with intact rock. Observed nonconductive processes are related to groundwater exchange with cold subglacial water, snowmelt infiltration, or creek water infiltration. Our strain data shows that annual surface temperature cycles cause thermoelastic deformation that dominate the strain signals in the shallow thermally active layer at our stable rock slope locations. At deeper sensors, reversible strain signals correlating with pore pressure fluctuations dominate. Irreversible deformation, which we relate with progressive rock mass damage, occurs as short-term (hours to weeks) strain events and as slower, continuous strain trends. The majority of the short-term irreversible strain events coincides with precipitation events or pore pressure changes. Longer-term trends in the strain time series and a minority of short-term strain events cannot directly be related to any of the investigated drivers, but changes of glacial loading and fatigue processes are considered as potential causes.

description: We study the goodness-of-fit tests for checking the normality of the model errors under the additive distortion measurement error settings. Neither the response variable nor the covariates can be directly observed but are distorted in additive fashions by an observed confounding variable. The proposed test statistics is based on logarithmic transformed variables with residuals and a particular choice of the kth power covariance-based estimator. The proposed test statistics has three advantages. Firstly, the asymptotic null distribution of the test statistics are obtained with known asymptotic variance. Secondly, the test statistic tests are irrelevant to the model. Thirdly, the proposed test statistics automatically eliminate the additive distortion effects involved in the response and covariates. The simulation studies show the proposed test statistics can be used to check normality when the sample size is very large. A real example is analysed to illustrate its practical usage.
Empirical likelihood based confidence regions for functional of copulas

description: In the present paper, we are mainly concerned with the statistical inference for the functional of nonparametric copula models satisfying linear constraints. The asymptotic properties of the obtained estimates and test statistics are given. Finally, a general notion of bootstrap for the proposed estimates and test statistics, constructed by exchangeably weighting sample, is presented, which is of its own interest. These results are proved under some standard structural conditions on some classes of functions and some mild conditions on the model, without assuming anything about the marginal distribution functions, except continuity. Our theoretical results and numerical examples by simulations demonstrate the merits of the proposed techniques.

linguistic policies

description: The empirical part of this paper focuses on the identification of claims made in the public sphere by representatives of any of the linguistic communities that coexist at the sub-national level in Spain regarding linguistic rights of citizens (increasing rights, protection of existing rights and claims against discrimination). Our analysis delves into four Spanish regions: Catalonia, the Balearic Islands, the Basque Country and Galicia, each of which displays very different characteristics regarding their sociolinguistic situation. In our analysis, we look more closely into the linguistic claims made in recent years (from 2005 onwards) by different actors involved in linguistic conflicts, with a particular focus on the areas of public education, media and the public space. We make use of media and document inquiry mechanisms. This information constitutes the empirical basis upon which we then provide a comparative assessment of the selected regions. We expect to find variation across the cases regarding the extent to which political and social conflicts increased, or on the contrary, they turned out to be cases of accommodation and claim reduction. Under which circumstances each of the cases falls is a matter of discussion in the 6 comparative analysis, while the extent to which these responses can be transferred to the EU level are assessed in a specific section.
