Morphological continuum of the von Economo neurons in the precuneus
Creators: name: Renner, Josué
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2020
Subjects: Neuroscience

description: The posterior region of the medial parietal cortex corresponds to the precuneus or the medial extension of Brodmann’s area 7. This region is involved to complex cerebral functions as somatosensorial integration, visuospatial attention and memory and learning. Despite its fundamental functions, little is known about the cells located in this cortical area. The von Economo’s neurons (VENs) are cells located in the layer V of the human precuneus. The aim of this work was to describe these cells using an adapted “single-section” Golgi method for postmortem adult brain tissue (2 woman and 3 men, ranging 49-91 years-old, without any neurological disease) and light microscopy. Using focus control, images of different focal planes of the complete neuronal form were captured. From that, tridimensional (3D) reconstructions of the whole neuron were made, enabling measurements from the morphological data from the dendritic arborization and soma. Furthermore, in a higher amplification, images of different focal planes of the dendritic arborization were taken and used to describe the presence, distribution, quantity and variety of the dendritic spines through 3D reconstructions. The VENs studied here were classified in three types: Type 1 VENs (the simplest, with a low dendritic ramification number and few quantity and variety of dendritic spines), Type 2 VENs (which have an intermediate aspect) and Type 3 VENs (the most complex, with many dendritic ramifications and a wide spectrum of dendritic spines forms). These results suggest that the VENs constitute a neuronal continuum of forms and complexity. The present data have morphological and functional implications about the VENs located in layer V of the human precuneus.

description: The possibility to manufacture perovskite solar cells (PSCs) at low temperatures paves the way to flexible and lightweight photovoltaic (PV) devices manufactured via high-throughput roll-to-roll processes. In order to achieve higher power conversion efficiencies, it is necessary to approach the radiative limit via suppression of non-radiative recombination losses. Herein, we performed a systematic voltage loss analysis for a typical low-temperature processed, flexible PSC in n-i-p configuration using vacuum deposited C-60 as electron transport layer (ETL) and two-step hybrid vacuum-solution deposition for CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite absorber. We identified the ETL/absorber interface as a bottleneck in relation to non-radiative recombination losses, the quasi-Fermi level splitting (QFLS) decreases from similar to 1.23 eV for the bare absorber, just similar to 90 meV below the radiative limit, to similar to 1.10 eV when C-60 is used as ETL. To effectively mitigate these voltage losses, we investigated different interfacial modifications via vacuum deposited interlayers (BCP, B4PyMPM, 3TPYMB, and LiF). An improvement in QFLS of similar to 30-40 meV is observed after interlayer deposition and confirmed by comparable improvements in the open-circuit voltage after implementation of these interfacial modifications in flexible PSCs. Further investigations on absorber/hole transport layer (HTL) interface point out the detrimental role of dopants in Spiro-OMeTAD film (widely employed HTL in the community) as recombination centers upon oxidation and light exposure.

This Magic Moment: The Aesthetic Devices of Jean Epstein and Edgar Allan Poe Reimagined
Creators: name: THOMPSON, JAMES EDWARD
Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Art

description: In 1928, filmmaker Jean Epstein produced La Chute de la Maison Usher: a masterpiece of Gothic cinema. It is an adaptation of two of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “The Oval Portrait”. The study of this intersection of Jean Epstein and Edgar Allan Poe has led to the production of a triptych (a suite of three films): I Work For the Devil, Tonight You Belong to Me, and The Night-Side of Nature. The project explores a theory-in-action known as “photogénie”, and how this method invigorates experimental cinema in the twenty-first century.
Investigation of high wave number temperature and velocity spectra in air
Creators: name: Boston, Noel Edward James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Turbulent velocity and temperature fluctuations in air were measured at a height of 4 meters over a tidal mud flat. Particular attention was focused on the high wave number, small scale region of the spectra of these fluctuations. The measurements of the velocity fluctuations were made with a constant temperature hot wire anemometer; the hot wire consisted of a platinum wire 5 µm in diameter and approximately 1 mm in length. Temperature fluctuations were measured with a platinum resistance thermometer which consisted of a platinum wire 0.25 µm in diameter and about 0.30 mm in length. The velocity spectra results agree well with the classical results of Grant, Stewart and Moilliet (1962) and Pond, Stewart and Burling (1963). In addition, they extend the velocity spectrum in air to slightly higher wave numbers. Pour "clean" spectra agree slightly better with the universal curve suggested by Nasmyth (1970) than with the classical results. This suggests that the one-dimensional Kolmogorov constant. K’ previously estimated may be too low. The mean value obtained with these data was 0.50. The temperature spectra clearly show the shape of the one-dimensional temperature spectrum in air beyond the -5/3 region. These spectra show that in air there is no -1 region and that temperature and velocity spectra are very similar. The temperature spectrum falls off from the -5/3 slope at slightly higher wave numbers than the velocity spectrum. The value of the scalar constant K’[sub θ], which appears in the scalar -5/3 law, computed from these data was 0.81. Direct measurement was made of all parameters that enter into the calculation of it. The coefficient of excess and skewness of derivatives of velocity and temperature signals were computed for sixteen cases. Large absolute values were obtained indicating the non-Gaussian character of high wave number, high Reynolds number turbulence. A wide range of values of both parameters was obtained. In general the coefficient of excess of the temperature derivative exceeds that of the velocity derivative. The effect of velocity sensitivity on the skewness of the temperature derivative signal was investigated and found to be non-negligible.
The effects of television viewing on restrained and unrestraind female eaters' food intake
Creators: name: Longey, Jenna Ann
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This review critically examined the literature concerning the relationship between television viewing and food consumption in females, with reference to the current obesity epidemic. Particular emphasis was given to individuals classified as restrained eaters, who may be wlnerable to the influence on food intake of television viewing. An examination of the literature comparing any differential effects on food intake of TV shows containing neutral content versus content featuring thin-ideal female bodies was undertaken. Finally, literature concerning female restrained and unrestrained eaters' behavioural preference for perceived low or full fat foods was analysed. It was concluded that television viewing is associated with increased food intake in females. Findings concerning the influence on food consumption of neutral TV content versus content featuring thin-ideal female bodies are, however, inconsistent. Further research investigating the direct effect of TV viewing on female restrained and unrestrained eaters' food consumption is warranted. Such research could assist in the development of weight loss interventions targeting specific behaviours that increase food consumption. Future research investigating any differential influence on females' food intake of different types of TV content could help direct interventions, by identifying content that may be most detrimental to females' weight management efforts.
Conversion electron and low energy gamma-ray spectrometer.
Creators: name: Johnson, John Richard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A conversion electron and low energy gamma-ray spectrometer has been developed using a silicon lithium-drifted semiconductor detector. The spectrometer has a resolution of 2 Kev for 100 Kev electrons and photons under optimum conditions. The energies of these electrons and gamma-rays can be estimated to ±.1 Kev, and their intensities to within ±6% with the standard sources available. The electron capture decay of ¹⁵³Gd → ¹⁵³Eu was investigated using this spectrometer. The branching capture ratios to the 172.9 Kev, 103.2 Kev, 97.4 Kev, and 0 Kev levels of ¹⁵³Eu were found to be 11%, 39%, 39% and 11%, respectively. Possible Jπ values of ⁵ ̸₂ + or ³ ̸₂ + for the 172.9 Kev level, ⁵ ̸₂ + or ³ ̸₂ + for the 103.2 Kev level, and ³ ̸₂ -, ⁵ ̸₂ -, or ⁷ ̸₂ - for the 97.4 Kev level have been assigned. These values are in agreement with those found by other investigators.

description: Abstract

Wounds are characterized as the breakup of the tissue's anatomical and cellular continuity, brought on by chemical, physical, or immunological factors. While the wound healing process involves restoration of the integrity of the damaged tissue, chronic wounds present a significant problem to both the patient and the doctor. Selection of appropriate wound dressings accelerates the healing process, especially in the case of nonhealing wounds it is crucial to find the appropriate therapeutic method to improve the patient’s well-being. In recent times, nanoparticles have gained importance for their anti-microbial and wound-healing effects. Our study involves the incorporation of the seed husk extract of psyllium doped silver nanoparticles (AgNps) in combination with the Human Amniotic Membrane (HAM) to use as a wound dressing in a full-thickness biopsy punch model in Wistar Albino Rats. The wound closure percentage was analyzed, and histopathological studies were performed. The results demonstrated the efficient wound repair and regenerative activity of formulated wound dressing in comparison to the control concluding its efficiency in In vivo studies.

description: The use of ‘Akuskura’ mouth gaggle mixture has recently become popular in northern Nigeria. Despite claims of its medicinal application for piles, fever, headache, malaise etc, it’s widely believed to be abused due to its psychoactive property. This study, in view of its wide patronage, aimed to investigate the toxic effects of ‘Akuskura’ mouth gaggle mixture in albino rats. Following the OECD guidelines, acute (48 hours) and sub-acute (28-days) oral toxicity was investigated. Using 0.1ml, 0.2ml and 0.3ml/mgKg-1BW doses of its most popular brand (Zazzau brand), biochemical and hematological parameters of rats were bioassayed. The histological investigation of harvested body organs (brain, liver, and kidney) of rats was then conducted. The study results revealed a 0.86 ml/kg dose as the LD50 of ‘Akuskura’ mouth gaggle mixture. Hematological assay revealed lower hemoglobin (HGB) levels in all treatment groups compared with the control (p<0.05). The levels of platelets (PLT), lymphocytes (LYMP#), and neutrophils (NEUT#) in all treatment groups were significantly higher than those in the control (p<0.05) while levels of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mixed white blood cells (MXD %) were significantly higher in only the 0.3 ml/kg treatment group (p<0.05). Similarly, blood urea and creatinine levels were significantly higher in rats treated with 0.3ml/kg dose of ‘Akuskura’ mouth gaggle mixture than in the control (p<0.05). These results revealed that ‘Akuskura’ mouth gaggle mixture is very likely to cause fatal acute poisoning and death. Sub-acute toxicity study results showed that the mixture is capable of causing anemia, compromised immune state, and renal injury. Higher doses of the mixture are relatively more toxic as they are more likely to cause toxic effects

description: Over the last decades, modelling of the inhomogeneous vertical abundance distributions of various chemical elements in magnetic peculiar A-type has largely relied on simple step-function approximations. In contrast, the recently introduced regularised vertical inverse problem (VIP) is not based on parametrised stratification profiles and has been claimed to yield unique solutions without a priori assumptions as to the profile shapes. It is the question of uniqueness of empirical stratifications which is at the centre of this article. An error analysis establishes confidence intervals about the abundance profiles and it is shown that many different step-functions of sometimes widely different amplitudes give fits to the observed spectra which equal the VIP fits in quality. Theoretical arguments are advanced in favour of abundance profiles that depend on magnetic latitude, even in moderately strong magnetic fields. Including cloud, cap and ring models in the discussion, it is shown that uniqueness of solutions cannot be achieved without phase resolved high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and high spectral resolution (R) spectropolarimetry in all 4 Stokes parameters.

description: We study the dynamics of the relative phase of a bilayer of two-dimensional superfluids after the two superfluids have been decoupled. We find that on short time scales the relative phase shows "light cone" like dynamics and creates a metastable superfluid state, which can be supercritical. We also demonstrate similar light cone dynamics for the transverse field Ising model. On longer time scales the supercritical state relaxes to a disordered state due to dynamical vortex unbinding. This scenario of dynamically suppressed vortex proliferation constitutes a reverse-Kibble-Zurek effect. We study this effect both numerically using truncated Wigner approximation and analytically within a newly suggested time dependent renormalization group approach (RG). In particular, within RG we show that there are two possible fixed points for the real time evolution corresponding to the superfluid and normal steady states. So depending on the initial conditions and the microscopic parameters of the Hamiltonian the system undergoes a non-equilibrium phase transition of the Kosterlitz-Thouless type. The time scales for the vortex unbinding near the critical point are exponentially divergent, similar to the equilibrium case.

description: While activated sludge treatment is currently the preferred process for the removal of tributyl phosphate (TBP) at the mg.L−1 level, it is well known that this recalcitrant molecule is incompletely degraded, stimulating research into alternative approaches, such as advanced oxidation. The aim of this study was to characterize the degradation mechanism of TBP during ultraviolet/H2O2 treatment using 31P NMR, ionic chromatography and total organic carbon analysis. The effects of initial pH, amount of oxidant and pollutant concentration were also assessed using an experimental design approach. The results of this parametric study show that ultraviolet/H2O2 photo-oxidation efficiently degrades TBP at concentrations up to 600 mg.L−1, with >90% phosphate release and up to 95% removal of total organic carbon within 1 h. The data also show that the main reaction intermediates are short carboxylic acids, resulting from the released alkyl groups, meaning that an interesting application of this process may be to rapidly pre-treat industrial effluent upstream of activated sludge reactors.

description: The objective of this study was to examine the effects of hypnosis for pain management during childbirth. Randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised controlled trials comparing preparation for labour using hypnosis and/or use of hypnosis during labour, with placebo, no treatment or any analgesic drug or technique were eligible to be included in the analysis. Participants in the studies were pregnant women. A random effects model was used to analyse the data due to the high level of statistical heterogeneity between the trials. Seven trials randomising a total of 1213 women were included in the analysis. All but one of these trials were assessed to be at moderate to high risk of bias. One trial was assessed as being at low risk of bias across all domains. The results indicated that hypnosis did not have a significant effect on the use of pharmacological analgesia, including epidural, on mode of birth or on satisfaction with pain relief. There was a trend towards women in the hypnosis group being less likely to use pharmacological pain relief or analgesia than those in the control group, although the result did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.06, average risk ratio (RR) 0.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.39, 1.01, 6 studies, 1032 women). However, there was statistically significant heterogeneity. Overall, there are still only a small number of studies assessing the use of hypnosis for labour and childbirth. Although the intervention shows some promise, further research is needed before recommendations can be made regarding its clinical usefulness for pain management in maternity care.

This is in order to understand the dynamical behaviour of ecological complex systems through the interplay between nonlinearity, noise, random and periodic environmental interactions. Discovering the microscopic rules and the local interactions which lead to the emergence of specific global patterns or global dynamical behaviour and the noises role in the nonlinear dynamics is an important, key aspect to understand and then to model ecological complex systems.

Study of the formative phase of a low pressure, high voltage Z-pinch
Creators: name: MacLatchy, Cyrus Shantz
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The formative phase of a 40 kV Z-pinch has been investigated in the pressure range from 10 mtorr to 80 mtorr in hydrogen. The energy spectrum of the electrons on the axis of the vessel, the spatial distribution of the current at the face of the anode, the total discharge current and the voltage across the discharge have all been monitored. For the pressures examined, the formative phase lasts a few hundred nanoseconds. At the initiation of the discharge, a current of electrons with energies in excess of 20 keV is observed on the axis. As time progresses, the average energy of the electrons decreases to a few keV and the current density increases to about 300 amps/cm². At pressures of 30 and 50 mtorr-H(2), the electron velocity distribution appears to relax to a Maxwellian [formula omitted]. This result is in agreement with the theoretical description of a weakly ionized gas in a strong electric field. However, it should be noted that the influence of plasma-turbulence has been neglected. The current to the central region of the electrode initially carries more than 50% of the total current through the discharge. This observation indicates that ionization initially occurs throughout the entire discharge vessel. However, shortly after the current of energetic electrons reaches its maximum value, the current to the central region of the electrode disappears. Simultaneously, a transient voltage of up to 20 kV appears across the discharge and the rate of increase of the current exhibits a sharp drop in value. The combination of these phenomena has been interpreted as the formation of the boundary layer. The boundary layer or current sheet is not completely formed until the end of the formative phase. Measurements of the pinch time support this conclusion. At low pressures, the time of formation of the boundary layer is considerably shortened by the enhancement of ionization at the wall. This is caused by the presence of the magnetic field of the current flowing in the central region of the vessel. The experiment has led to better comprehension of the mechanism of boundary layer formation in low pressure Z-pinches. The overall understanding of ionization in Z-pinch discharges has been improved and can be extrapolated to higher pressures. In addition, the observations indicate that the detailed nature of the current sheet collapse can be strongly affected by the formative phase.
A family of pseudo-Anosov braids with small dilatation

description: This paper describes a family of pseudo-Anosov braids with small dilatation. The smallest dilatations occurring for braids with 3, 4 and 5 strands appear in this family. A pseudo-Anosov braid with 2g+1 strands determines a hyperelliptic mapping class with the same dilatation on a genus-g surface. Penner showed that logarithms of least dilatations of pseudo-Anosov maps on a genus-g surface grow asymptotically with the genus like 1/g, and gave explicit examples of mapping classes with dilatations bounded above by log 11/g. Bauer later improved this bound to log 6/g. The braids in this paper give rise to mapping classes with dilatations bounded above by log(2+sqrt(3))/g. They show that least dilatations for hyperelliptic mapping classes have the same asymptotic behavior as for general mapping classes on genus-g surfaces.

description: In coupled rotor models which describe identical rotating nuclei the nuclear spin states restrict the possible angular momenta of each molecule. There are two mean-field approaches to determining the orientational phase diagrams in such systems. In one the nuclear spin conversion times are assumed to be instantaneous in the other infinite. In this paper the intermediate case, when the spin conversion times are significantly slower than those of rotational time scales, but are not infinite on the time-scale of the experiment, is investigated. Via incorporation of the configurational degeneracy it is shown that in the thermodynamic limit the mean-field approach in the intermediate case is identical to the instantaneous spin conversion time approximation. The total entropy can be split into configurational and rotational terms. The mean-field phase diagram of a model of coupled rotors of three-fold symmetry is also calculated in the two approximations. It is shown that the configurational entropy has a maximum as a function of temperature which shifts to lower temperatures with increasing order.

description: While activated sludge treatment is currently the preferred process for the removal of tributyl phosphate (TBP) at the mg.L-1 level, it is well known that this recalcitrant molecule is incompletely degraded, stimulating research into alternative approaches, such as advanced oxidation. The aim of this study was to characterize the degradation mechanism of TBP during ultraviolet/H2O2 treatment using 31P NMR, ionic chromatography and total organic carbon analysis. The effects of initial pH, amount of oxidant and pollutant concentration were also assessed using an experimental design approach. The results of this parametric study show that ultraviolet/H2O2 photo-oxidation efficiently degrades TBP at concentrations up to 600 mg·L−1, with > 90% phosphate release and up to 95% removal of total organic carbon within 1 h. The data also show that the main reaction intermediates are short carboxylic acids, resulting from the released alkyl groups, meaning that an interesting application of this process may be to rapidly pre-treat industrial effluent upstream of activated sludge reactors.

description: Resumen.

La trascendencia tradicionalmente atribuida al 'constructo Pelayo-Covadonga' me incitó a examinar la presunta historicidad de dicho evento. Para ello se ha partido del análisis de los datos aportados por las propias crónicas asturianas, contrastándolos con los de la única fuente coetánea (Crónica del 754), y cotejarlos finalmente con la tardía versión de las fuentes árabes, Crónica de San Jan de la Peña, y Libro de San Voto. De paso, obligó a afinar el significado geopolítico de Galicia, resultando que aquel sonado encuentro bien podría no haber tenido lugar en Asturias...

 

Abstract.

Transcendence traditionally attributed to the 'construct Pelayo-Covadonga' move me to re-examinate the -supposed- historicity of that event. For this purpose, we started from the analysis of the information’s accuracy given by the Asturian Chronicles, checking them with the only contemporary source (Chronicle of 754), before starting to collate them finally with the much later versions given by the Arabic sources, Chronicle of San Jan de la Peña and Libro de San Voto. Analysis that deals with a more accurate understanding of the geo-political meaning of Galicia, and reaching a new conclusion: it seems that the famous battle could very well had not to be located in Asturias...

Crime prevention, community safety and Clarendon Vale : local visions for healthy communities
Creators: name: Kenny, MC
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This research examines the experiences of residents of Clarendon Vale, a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania. It seeks to record the narratives of residents within the local community, with an emphasis upon their perceptions of crime and safety locally, the social and environmental factors which generate crime and safety concerns and finally, their aspirations for change. This discussion considers theoretical explanations that might account for crime and safety issues locally and potential strategies that might be deployed to both reduce crime and create a safer community. Within this context, debate over 'what works', economic rationalism, neo-liberal ideologies and governance structures are observed to have important consequences, shaping which crime prevention strategies are most commonly applied and to whom, potentially neglecting other strategies which might not only address the issues of crime and safety, but some of the underlying structural, social and economic factors which contribute to their local characteristics. To this end, particular opportunities within crime prevention and community development discourse are identified as being relevant to the local community, as are some of the social, political and economic challenges inherent in undertaking crime prevention and community development.
Nuclear magnetic resonance study of single crystals of gallium metal
Creators: name: Valic, Marko Ivan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of gallium metal has been investigated in single crystal specimens in both low and high magnetic fields from 4.2°K to the melting point (T[subscript MP] = 300°K) and then extended to the liquid phase. Precise determinations for the two non-equivalent nuclear sites have been made of (a) the electric field gradient (EFG) tensor and (b) the Knight shift (K) tensor. The relationship of these results to the crystal structure of gallium metal is discussed in detail. The isotopic Knight shift in the solid, K[superscript sol; subscript iso] increases linearly with temperature from (0.132±0.004)% at 4.2°K to (0.155±0.004)% just below T[subscript MP]. In the liquid, just above T[subscript MP], K[superscript liq; sucscipt iso] = (0.453±0.003)% and decreases very slowly with increasing temperature. These results are discussed in terms of the Korringa relations in the solid and liquid phases, respectively. Implications of these results are developed with regard to changes in the electronic structure of gallium upon melting. The angular dependence of K[subscript an] agrees with the predicted angular dependence for the Knight shift anisotropy in an orthorhombic environment and is described with two anisotropy parameters defined as K₁ and K₂. No K- anisotropy is found along the Y (B crystal) axis. The principal axes of the K tensor have different signs from the quadrupolar principle axes. K[subscript an] (X) is found to be very large, i.e. K[subscript an] (X)/K[subscript iso] = -18% at 77°K, and temperature dependent. Increasing the temperature (T) from 4.2°K, K[subscript an] (X) increases to a maximum at 77°K and then slowly decreases as T approaches T[subscript MP] where it still retains a large value. This paradoxical behaviour is assumed to be a result of particular and unusual details of the gallium Fermi surface.

description: Currently, CO2 emission is the main cause of climate change and its various related environmental impacts. Therefore, we have as a prime the development of clean sources of energy. The hydrogen economy is very attractive in this regard, however, when generated from the methane reform, there are also large-scale CO2 emissions. Thus, this research aims to develop and characterize bismuth and iron niobate-based photoanodes for hydrogen production via water photoelectrolysis. Bi2FexNbO7 films were synthesized by the sol-gel method and deposited on FTO coated glass plates by dip-coating technique. The influence of heat treatment (400, 500 and 600°C) and amount of iron on the structure (Bi2FexNbO7, x = 0, 0.8, 1, 1.2) were evaluated. Optical, structural and morphological properties were performed, as well as photoanode efficiency in photocurrent assays. The results indicate that the increase of temperature as well as the amount of iron leads to a higher absorption capacity and hence to lower band gap values. Regarding the structural properties, it was possible to observe the BFNO phase in the samples treated at 500 and 600°C. The films heat-treated at 400°C had a heterogeneous texture and a good covering. At 600°C there were some cracks in films surface. Therefore, samples with more iron and treated at 400°C showed better responses in photocurrent assays. It can be concluded that bismuth-iron niobate has a great potential to be applied in photoelectrolysis hydrogen production.

description: The war in Ukraine has disrupted the supply chains of materials and products that are integral to industries
both in the United States and abroad. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, USITC staff
has published a series of short research papers on different commodities to highlight how supplies and
trade have been affected by the ongoing war. The series begins by looking at two materials, neon gas and
palladium, which although used in small quantities, are critical to global semiconductor manufacturing
and heavily sourced from the conflict area. Similarly, production of helium and scandium are limited and
a sizeable amount of each is sourced from the conflict region. Aluminum is a critical material for national
security as well as several economically important industries in the United States, and Russia is a leading
exporter. Rounding out this series of briefs is a look at how the war in Ukraine has impacted the supply of
certain oilseeds and vegetable oils, influencing global food prices for staples (e.g., cooking oil).
The enclosed USITC staff research has been published as two-page research briefs termed Executive
Briefings on Trade (EBOTs). In general, EBOTs provide a vehicle for staff to briefly document important
developments in trade (e.g., supply issues, investments, shifts in production or trade). EBOTs help staff
develop technical capacity and support USITC’s mission to provide independent analysis and information
on tariffs, trade, and competitiveness.This series can be found on the USITC website
