description: Hispanics made up 17 percent of the U.S. population, or some 55 million people in 2014. In 2014, 14.0 percent of all U.S. households were food insecure, versus 22.4 percent of Hispanic households. Food insecurity varies among Hispanic subpopulations by origin, immigration status, household composition, State, and metro/suburban residence.

description: We review and extend recent developments on the statistical properties of Active Ornstein Uhlenbeck particles (AOUPs). In this simplest of models, the Gaussian white noise of overdamped Brownian colloids is replaced by a Gaussian colored noise. This suffice to grant this system the hallmark properties of active matter, while still allowing for analytical progress. We first detail the perturbative derivation of the steady state of AOUPs in the small persistence time limit. We show the existence of an effective equilibrium regime in which detailed-balance is obeyed with respect to a non-Boltzmann distribution and detail the corresponding fluctuation-dissipation theorem. We then characterize the departure from equilibrium by computing several relevant observables (entropy production, ratchet current). At the collective level, we show AOUPs to experience motility-induced phase separation both in the presence of pairwise forces or due to quorum-sensing interactions. The latter can be accounted for by considering the steady-state of AOUPs with spatially varying propulsion speed or persistence time. Finally, we discuss how the emerging properties of AOUPs can be characterized from the dynamics of their collective modes, which we construct explicitly.

description: Neutral and charged phosphorus clusters of a wide size range have been produced by pulsed laser ablation (PLA) in vacuum at 532, 337, and 193 nm ablating wavelengths and investigated by time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The neutral P_n clusters are even-numbered with local abundance maxima at n = 10 and 14, while the cationic and anionic clusters are preferentially odd-numbered with (P_7)+, (P_21)+, and (P_17)- being the most abundant ions. The dominance of the magic clusters is more pronounced at 337-nm ablation that is explained by efficient direct ejection of their building blocks under these conditions. Nanocrystalline phosphorus films have been produced by PLA in ambient helium gas.

description: In FY2012, over three-fourths of WIC retail food benefits were redeemed at large (supercenter, supermarket, large grocery) stores. Although WIC may not encourage participants to be price sensitive, the many redemptions at large stores may be due to the 63-percent share of WIC vendors that are large stores and participants' tendency to shop for WIC foods at the same stores where they shop anyway.
Dimensioning metallic iron beds for efficient contaminant removal

Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2010

description: Remediation of contaminated groundwater is an expensive and lengthy process. Permeable reactive barrier of metallic iron (Fe0 PRB) is one of the leading technologies for groundwater remediation. One of the primary challenges for the Fe0 PRB technology is to appropriately size the reactive barrier (length, width, Fe0 proportion and nature of additive materials) to enable sufficient residence time for effective remediation. The size of a given Fe0 PRB depends mostly on accurate characterization of: (i) reaction mechanisms, and (ii) site-specific hydrogeologic parameters. Accordingly, the recent revision of the fundamental mechanisms of contaminant removal in Fe0/H2O systems requires the revision of the Fe0 PRB dimensioning strategy. Contaminants are basically removed by adsorption, co-precipitation and size exclusion in the entire Fe0 bed and not by chemical reduction at a moving reaction front. Principle calculations and analysis of data from all fields using water filtration on Fe0 bed demonstrated that: (i) mixing Fe0 and inert additives is a prerequisite for sustainability, (ii) used Fe0 amounts must represent 30 to 60 vol-% of the mixture, and (iii) Fe0 beds are deep-bed filtration systems. The major output of this study is that thicker barriers are needed for long service life. Fe0 filters for save drinking water production should use several filters in series to achieve the treatment goal. In all cases proper material selection is an essential issue.

description: We use hard-sphere generalized hydrodynamic equations to discuss the extended hydrodynamic modes of a binary mixture. The theory presented here is analytic and it provides us with a simple description of the collective excitations of a dense binary mixture at molecular length scales. The behavior we predict is in qualitative agreement with molecular-dynamics results for soft-sphere mixtures. This study provides some insight into the role of compositional disorder in forming glassy configurations.

Spontaneous formation of density waves in granular matter under swirling excitation

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: We study here the spontaneous clustering of a submonolayer of grains under horizontal circular shaking. The clustering of grains occurs when increasing the oscillation amplitude beyond a threshold. The dense area travels in a circular fashion at the driving frequency, even exceeds the speed of driving. It turns out that the observed clustering is due to the formation of density wave. The analysis of a phenomenological model shows that the instability of the uniform density profile arises by increasing the oscillation amplitude and captures the non-monotonic dependence of the transition amplitude of the clustering on the global density of the system. Here, the key ingredient is that the velocity of individual grains increases with the local density. The interplay of dissipative particle-particle interaction and the frictional driving of the substrate results into this dependence, which is tested with discrete element method simulations.

title: Granite petrogenesis and crustal evolution studies in the Damara Pan-African orogenic belt, Namibia
Creators: name: Mc Dermott, Patrick Francis
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: Major and trace element data for Damara granitoids distinguish three geochemically distinct granitoid groups, - crustal-melt granitoids, calc-alkaline granitoids and within-plate granitoids. The overwhelming majority of the Oamara granitoids are peraluminous crustal-melt leucogranites which have elevated 87Sr/86Sr ratios (> 0.710) and old model Nd ages (~ 2.0 Ga).

 Calc-alkaline diorites are metaluminous and have the lowest 87Sr/86Sr ratios (0.704 - 0.707) and model Nd ages (OM) in the range 1.1 -1.7 Ga. Within-plate granitoids are characterised by elevated high-field strength (HFS) abundances and have model Nd ages (OM) in the range 1.1 - 1.6 Ga.

 All Damara granitoids have model Nd ages (OM) older than about 1.0 Ga suggesting that intracrustal reworking was the dominant process and crustal growth was negligible. Damara granitoids define a hyperbola on an ∈ Sr vs. ∈ Nd diagram but cannot be modelled as simple binary mixtures between old continental crust and depleted mantle end-members. An episodic intracrustal remobilisation model is proposed to explain the hyperbola defined by granitoid data on an ∈ Sr vs. ∈ Nd diagram.

 Within the 10 km thick Damara metasedimentary pile 87Sr/86Sr ratios increase systematically with depth. This trend is accompanied by a decrease in 143Nd/144Nd ratios. Model Nd ages (CHUR) for the stratigraphically oldest Damara metasediments (Nosib Group) are about 2.0 Ga whereas the younger metasediments (Kuiseb Formation and Nama Group) have model Nd ages (CHUR) about 1.0 Ga reflecting sediment input from younger source terrains. The ratio of model ages (TNdCHUR/TSrBE) is used as an index of intracrustal reworking since it provides a measure of Rb/Sr fractionation (increases) relative to SmlNd fractionation. The older Damara metasediments (Nosib Group) have the highest model age ratios suggesting that their source terrains have suffered the largest amount of intracrustal reworking. However, the rate of intracrustal reworking was greatest in source terrains sampled by the younger Damara metasediments (Kuiseb Formation and Nama Group). This suggests that the rate of intracrustal reworking increased through time in the interval (2.0 - 1.0 Ga) in this segment of continental crust.

description: Abstract: The formation of soils from gyttja takes place under aeration, due to artificial drainage. In northern Europe gyttja deposits are found in northern Germany, Poland, Finland and Sweden. Their investigations date back to the middle of the last century. Their cultivation led to a pedogenesis, which is reflected by chemical and physical properties. Subhydric material is rich in organic matter and often in CaCO3 ranging from 5 to 95 %. It is fine-grained with a high pore space, particularly of the meso- and micro-pores. As a result of pedogenesis the volume of micropores increases while the volume of meso-pores decreases.
description: Zusammenfassung: Böden aus Mudde entstehen durch Luftzutritt, verursacht durch anthropogene Wasserabsenkung. In Nord- und Mitteleuropa kommen diese Böden in Deutschland, Polen, Finnland und Schweden vor. Erste Untersuchungen dieser sehr jungen Böden erfolgten in den 1950er Jahren. Die meist landwirtschaftliche Nutzung der Böden führte zu einer Pedogenese, die sich in den chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften widerspiegelt. Subhydrische Substrate sind reich an organischer Substanz und oft reich an Kalziumkarbonat. Sie sind feinkörnig mit einem großen Gesamtporenvolumen, insbesondere an Mittel- und Feinporen. Bei der Pedogenese nimmt der Anteil an Feinporen auf Kosten der Mittelporen zu.

description: This study investigated seasonal dynamics of benthic nutrient fluxes using in situ benthic chambers deployed over a 24–hour period at the sediment water interface for four distinct regions of the Knysna Estuary. The sediment in the Upper Estuary, Lagoon and Bay acted as a source of NH4 with a rate of 100–300 µmol m−2 day−1 N, and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) with a rate of 15 µmol m−2 day−1 P, whereas that of Ashmead channel exceeded these rates by far. The sediment acted as a sink for NO3− with fluxes of between −200 and 100 µmol m−2 h−1. Benthic nutrient fluxes in the estuary were positively related with sediment organic content and silt. Nutrient fluxes in the Ashmead channel were significantly greater than the other regions because of the anoxic sediment, reduced flushing and a legacy of pollutant and organic matter retention. This condition can only be improved by removing wastewater input and dredging. Such drastic interventions are necessary to improve the health of South Africa’s top ranked estuary in terms of biodiversity importance.

description: Two successive trials were conducted in San Cristobal to estimate economic losses caused in maize by Spodoptera. The first trial was conducted in the Fall (September/ January) and the other in the Winter (January/May). The design used was that of paired randomized plots with two treatments and five replications. One of the treatments consisted in applying monocrotophos at 0.015 each week up to the fourth week and an application of granulated Carbofuran to the foliage on the fifth week. The other treatment was the control. Ten plants per plot were counted to determine: percentage of damage and number of larvae observed. The crop in each cycle was irrigated twice. In the Fall, economic loss was 1818 kg/ha as established between the yield of the control plot and that of the plot treated with monocrotophos + 3 Carbofuran; in the Winter it was 602 kg/ha. Thus, for the first cycle, the percentage of loss was in the range of 5.8 for the treatment with insecticides and 46.8 for the control. For the second cycle the percentage of loss for treatment with insecticidas was 6.6 while the control averaged 8.2. It was found that rainfall and relative humidity play an important role and explain the differences in the two cycles.

REMARKS
 The present single juvenile valves are morphologically almost indistinguishable from the type material, although the radial plicae are more tripartite with distinct lamellae on each secondary riblet (weakly tripartite with an undivided lamella on the three secondary riblets in the type material) and more orange-reddish tinted than similar-sized specimens from the western Pacific (basically more variegated in coloration). However, the sculpture and colour of G. pallium are variable and intermediate specimens are observed (MNHN, ZMA).

description: We introduce the Dunkl--Klein--Gordon (DKG) equation in 2D by changing the standard partial derivatives by the Dunkl derivatives in the standard Klein--Gordon (KG) equation. We show that the generalization with Dunkl derivative of the $z$-component of the angular momentum is what allows the separation of variables of the DKG equation. Then, we compute the energy spectrum and eigenfunctions of the DKG equations for the 2D Coulomb potential and the Klein--Gordon oscillator analytically and from an ${\rm su}(1,1)$ algebraic point of view. Finally, we show that if the parameters of the Dunkl derivative vanish, the obtained results suitably reduce to those reported in the literature for these 2D problems.

description: This paper illustrates how mock observational samples of high-redshift galaxies with sophisticated selection criteria can be extracted from the predictions of GALICS, a hybrid model of hierarchical galaxy formation that couples the outputs of large cosmological simulations and semi-analytic recipes to describe dark matter collapse and the physics of baryons respectively. As an example of this method, we focus on the properties of Lyman Break Galaxies at redshift 3. With the MOMAF software package described in a companion paper, we generate a mock observational sample with selection criteria as similar as possible to those implied in the actual observations of z = 3 LBGs by Steidel et al.(1995). Our model predictions are in good agreement with the observed number density and 2D correlation function. We investigate the optical/IR luminosity budget as well as several other physical properties of LBGs and find them to be in general agreement with observed values. Looking into the future of these LBGs we predict that 75% of them end up as massive ellipticals today, even though only 35% of all our local ellipticals are predicted to have a LBG progenitor. In spite of some shortcomings, this new 'mock observation' method clearly represents a necessary first step toward a more accurate comparison between hierarchical models of galaxy formation and real observational surveys.

Multiple-scattering approach for multi-spin chiral magnetic interactions: Application to the one- and two-dimensional Rashba electron gas

description: Various multi-spin magnetic exchange interactions (MEI) of chiral nature have been recently unveiled. Owing to their potential impact on the realisation of twisted spin-textures, their implication in spintronics or quantum computing is very promising. Here, I address the long-range behavior of multi-spin MEI on the basis of a multiple-scattering formalism implementable in Green functions based methods. I consider the impact of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) as described in the one- (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) Rashba model, from which the analytical forms of the four- and six-spin interactions are extracted and compared to the bilinear isotropic, anisotropic and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI). Similarly to the DMI between two sites $i$ and $j$, there is a four-spin chiral vector perpendicular to the bond connecting the two sites. The oscillatory behavior of the MEI and their decay as function of interatomic distances are analysed and quantified for the Rashba surfaces states characterizing Au surfaces. The interplay of beating effects and strength of SOC gives rise to a wide parameter space where chiral MEI are more prominent than the isotropic ones. The multi-spin interactions for a plaquette of $N$ magnetic moments decay like $\{q_F^{N-d} P^{\frac{1}{2}(d-1)}L\}^{-1}$ simplifying to $\{q_F^{N-d} R^{\left[1+\frac{N}{2}(d-1)\right]}N\}^{-1}$ for equidistant atoms, where $d$ is the dimension of the mediating electrons, $q_F$ the Fermi wave vector, $L$ the perimeter of the plaquette while $P$ is the product of interatomic distances. This recovers the behavior of the bilinear MEI, $\{q_F^{2-d} R^{d}\}^{-1}$, and shows that increasing the perimeter of the plaquette weakens the MEI. More important, the power-law pertaining to the distance-dependent 1D MEI is insensitive to the number of atoms in the plaquette in contrast to the linear dependence associated with the 2D MEI.
Borderlines of poetry and art : Vancouver, American modernism, and the formation of the west coast avant-garde, 1961-69
Creators: name: Tomaszewska, Lara Halina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In 1967, San Francisco poet Robin Blaser titled his Vancouver-based journal The Pacific Nation because the imaginary nation that he envisaged was the "west coast." Blaser was articulating the mythic space that he and his colleagues imagined they inhabited at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia: a nation without borders, without nationality, and bound by the culture of poetry. The poetic practices of the San Francisco Renaissance, including beat, projective, and Black Mountain poetics, had taken hold in Vancouver in 1961 with poet Robert Duncan's visit to the city which had catalyzed the Tish poetry movement. In 1963, Charles Olson, Allen Ginsberg, and Robert Creeley participated in the Vancouver Poetry Conference, an event that marked the seriousness and vitality of the poetic avant-garde in Vancouver. The dominant narrative of avant-garde visual art in Vancouver dates its origins to the late 1960s, with the arrival of conceptualism, especially the ideas and work of Dan Graham and Robert Smithson. By contrast, this thesis argues for an earlier formation of the avant-garde, starting with the Tish poetry movement and continuing with a series of significant local events such as the annual Festival of the Contemporary Arts (1961-71), organized by B.C. Binning and Alvin Balkind, who was the curator of the Fine Arts Gallery at the University of British Columbia. The diverse artistic and intellectual practices of Robert Duncan, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Stan Brakhage, and Marshall McLuhan presented at the Festivals were absorbed and adapted not only by poets and writers but also by artists, including Ian Wallace, Roy Kiyooka, Ian Baxter, Gary Lee-Nova, and Michael Morris. The cross-fertilization of avant-garde poetry and art was an international phenomenon. In New York, "anti-formal" art also embraced Cage and Cunningham as aesthetic models. Its effect in Vancouver was to de-stabilize European traditions of art that had been dominant. In the 1960s, Vancouver avant-garde artists constructed the west coast as an alternative space--alternative to American militarism and anti-communism, to Euro-Canadian cultural traditions and to the artistic dominance of New York. They helped to create a vital, transnational Pacific region.
Comparison of Random Forest, k-Nearest Neighbor, and Support Vector Machine Classifiers for Land Cover Classification Using Sentinel-2 Imagery.

description: In previous classification studies, three non-parametric classifiers, Random Forest (RF), k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN), and Support Vector Machine (SVM), were reported as the foremost classifiers at producing high accuracies. However, only a few studies have compared the performances of these classifiers with different training sample sizes for the same remote sensing images, particularly the Sentinel-2 Multispectral Imager (MSI). In this study, we examined and compared the performances of the RF, kNN, and SVM classifiers for land use/cover classification using Sentinel-2 image data. An area of 30 × 30 km² within the Red River Delta of Vietnam with six land use/cover types was classified using 14 different training sample sizes, including balanced and imbalanced, from 50 to over 1250 pixels/class. All classification results showed a high overall accuracy (OA) ranging from 90% to 95%. Among the three classifiers and 14 sub-datasets, SVM produced the highest OA with the least sensitivity to the training sample sizes, followed consecutively by RF and kNN. In relation to the sample size, all three classifiers showed a similar and high OA (over 93.85%) when the training sample size was large enough, i.e., greater than 750 pixels/class or representing an area of approximately 0.25% of the total study area. The high accuracy was achieved with both imbalanced and balanced datasets.

description: Neutron-rich matter at subnuclear densities may involve complex structures displaying a variety of shapes, such as spherical, slablike, and/or rodlike shapes. These phases of the {\it nuclear pasta} are expected to exist in the crust of neutron stars and in core-collapse supernovae. The dynamics of core-collapse supernovae is very sensitive to the interactions between neutrinos and nucleons/nuclei. Indeed, neutrino excitation of the low-energy modes of the pasta may allow for a significant energy transfer to the nuclear medium, thereby reviving the stalled supernovae shock. The linear response of the nuclear pasta to neutrinos is modeled via a simple semi-classical simulation. The transport mean-free path for $μ$ and $τ$ neutrinos (and antineutrinos) is expressed in terms of the static structure factor of the pasta, which is evaluated using Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Zika virus is part of the flaviviruses that spread through the Aedes mosquito species and causes neurological infectious diseases. The non-structural protein 1 (NS1) is an essential enzyme that is involved in the replication of Zika virus. In this study, the newly isolated flavonoid analogs were docked against the NS1 protein. Most of the compounds showed strong interactions with favorable binding energies in the active site of NS1. One of the suitable docked ligand-protein complexes was simulated along with the apo form of the enzyme for 100 ns. The simulation results validated the docking data. The molecular dynamics simulation analysis comprising of root mean square deviation and fluctuation, the radius of gyration, hydrogen bonding, potential energy, principle component analysis, and MM/PBSA revealed about the stability of the apo and complex systems. These flavonoids analogs can inhibit the hexamerization of the NS1 which is necessary for the Zika virus replication.

description: There are few sponges known from the end-Ordovician to early-Silurian strata all over the world, and no records of sponge fossils have been found yet in China during this interval. Here we report a unique sponge assemblage spanning the interval of the end-Ordovician mass extinction from the Kaochiapien Formation (Upper Ordovician-Lower Silurian) in South China. This assemblage contains a variety of well-preserved siliceous sponges, including both Burgess Shale-type and modern type taxa. It is clear that this assemblage developed in deep water, low energy ecosystem with less competitors and more vacant niches. Its explosion may be related to the euxinic and anoxic condition as well as the noticeable transgression during the end-Ordovician mass extinction. The excellent preservation of this assemblage is probably due to the rapid burial by mud turbidites. This unusual sponge assemblage provides a link between the Burgess Shale-type deep water sponges and the modern forms. It gives an excellent insight into the deep sea palaeoecology and the macroevolution of Phanerozoic sponges, and opens a new window to investigate the marine ecosystem before and after the end-Ordovician mass extinction. It also offers potential to search for exceptional fossil biota across the Ordovician-Silurian boundary interval in China.

Investigating the Mechanism of Uranium Removal by Zerovalent Iron

description: Zerovalent iron (ZVI) has been proposed as a reactive material in permeable in-situ walls for groundwater contaminated by metal pollutants. For such pollutants which interact with corrosion products, the determination of the actual mechanism of their removal is very important to predict the long-term stability of reactive walls. From a study of the effects of pyrite (FeS2) and manganese nodules (MnO2) on the uranium removal potential of a selected ZVI material, a test methodology (FeS2-MnO2-method) is suggested to follow the pathway of contaminant removal by ZVI materials. An interpretation of the removal potential of ZVI for uranium in presence of both additives corroborates coprecipitation with iron corrosion products as a major removal mechanism for uranium.

description: Forests serve an important role in any region of the world. They are the source of many goods and services. One of the factors of gross domestic product (GDP) is “forest rents.” The main objective of this article is to determine the share of forest products (roundwood) in GDP in selected regions. The share of the forest sector in GDP reflects its importance to the national economy. The key problem is that in most affected countries the share of forestry in GDP is at a very low level of development. This is manifested, for example, through the sale of wood on the ground and the virtual lack of any wood industry. Together with the level of economic development, this reduces the share of forestry in GDP. At the same time there are changes in priorities and leading functions performed by forests. This reduces the importance of forest production for environmental and social issues. The priority in the economic development of the world should be sustainable environmental resources. It should intensify and optimize cooperation between the various economic sectors and different countries in order to optimize the use of forest resources of the world. / Synopsis. Lasy mają ogromne znaczenie niezależnie od regionu świata. Są dostarczycielem towarów i usług. Jednym z czynników mających wpływ na produkt krajowy brutto (PKB) jest leśnictwo definiowane jako renta leśna (forest rents). Głównym celem publikacji jest określenie udziału produktów leśnych (tu rozumianych, jako drewno okrągłe) w produkcie krajowym brutto w wybranych regionach. Udział sektora leśnego w produkcie krajowym brutto odzwierciedla znaczenie sektora dla gospodarki kraju. Kluczowym problemem jest to, iż w większości krajów, w których udział leśnictwa ma duże znaczenie w PKB, poziom ich rozwoju jest bardzo niski. Przejawia się to m.in. poprzez sprzedaż drewna na gruncie oraz praktycznie brakiem jakiegokolwiek przemysłu drzewnego. Wraz z poziomem rozwoju gospodarczego zmniejsza się udział leśnictwa w PKB. Równocześnie następują zmiany priorytetów i wiodących funkcji pełnionych przez lasy. Zmniejsza się znaczenie funkcji produkcyjnych na rzecz ekologicznych i społecznych. Priorytetem w rozwoju gospodarczym świata powinna być zrównoważona gospodarka zasobami środowiska naturalnego. Należy intensyfikować i optymalizować współpracę pomiędzy różnymi sektorami gospodarki oraz krajami w celu optymalnego wykorzystania zasobów leśnych świata.

Abstract
Factors associated with patient outcomes following same-day discharge percutaneous coronary intervention
Creators: name: Lauck, Sandra Béatrice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Coronary artery disease continues to cause the majority of deaths and disability in Canada; the resultant demand for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) exercises constant pressure on health care systems to meet the growing needs of patients. The practice of same-day discharge PCI has emerged as a medically safe option to optimize resource utilization and to improve access to care. The purpose of this study was to describe elective same-day discharge PCI patients' health behaviour in the two to five days following their procedure. The concepts of cardiac self-efficacy and self-care agency provided a theoretical framework. A telephone questionnaire drawing from existing validated tools was developed to explore the relationships between patient and procedural characteristics, and individuals' capacity to care for themselves following PCI in a study sample of 98 participants. The findings revealed a high degree of adherence to the discharge guidelines, including following medication regimen, making a follow-up appointment, and managing the dressing. Yet, within 24 hours of discharge, over 30% of patients experienced symptoms of myocardial ischemia, with 80% opting to take no action, and a further 10% of the total sample presented to an emergency department. Participants' awareness of how to appropriately manage their chronic disease was low: although over 70% of patients understood the results of their PCI procedure, 38% believed that they no longer had coronary artery disease, 50% did not know how to prevent their heart disease from worsening, and 77% did not intend to participate in cardiac rehabilitation. To identify factors associated with lower levels of CSE and SCA, multiple linear regression analysis was carried out. Lack of social support emerged as a significant and consistent predictor of poorer outcomes. In addition, other aspects of psychoemotional distress were also significant factors in patients' cardiac self-efficacy and self-care agency in the recovery period. Same-day discharge PCI presents a feasible and safe option for delivery of care for most patients, but requires improved bridging between acute intervention and chronic disease management, and the identification of tailored interventions or support for individuals at higher risk during the recovery period.

description: Metallic iron (Fe(0)) is currently used in subsurface and above-ground water filtration systems on a pragmatic basis. Recent theoretical studies have indicated that, to be sustainable, such systems should not contain more than 60% Fe(0) (vol/vol). The prediction was already validated in a Fe(0)/sand system using methylene blue as an operational tracer. The present work is the first attempt to experimentally verify the new concept using pumice particles. A well-characterized pumice sample is used as operational supporting material and is mixed with 200 g of a granular Fe(0), in volumetric proportions, varying from 0 to 100%. The resulting column systems are characterized (i) by the time dependent evolution of their hydraulic conductivity and (ii) for their efficiency for the removal of Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) from a three-contaminants-solution (about 0.3 mM of each metal). Test results showed a clear sustainability of the long term hydraulic conductivity with decreasing Fe(0)/pumice ratio. In fact, the pure Fe(0) system clogged after 17 days, while the 25% Fe(0) system could operate for 36 days. The experimental data confirmed the view that well-designed Fe(0) PRBs may be successful at removing both reducible and non-reducible metal species.
