description: In this study, we show the different dustiness characteristics of four molecular pharmaceutical powder candidates and evaluate the performance of HEPA filters damaged with three different pinhole sizes and exposed to dust using real industrial powders in a miniaturized EN15051 rotating drum dustiness tester. We then demonstrate the potential use of such data using first-order exposure modeling to assess the potential worker exposure and transmission of active powder ingredients into ventilation systems. The four powders had highly variable inhalable dustiness indices (1,036 – 14,501 mg/kg). Dust particle size-distributions were characterized by three peaks; the first occurred around 60–80 nm, the second around 250 nm, and the third at 2–3 μm. The second and third peaks are often observed in dustiness test studies, but peaks in the 60–80 nm range have not been previously reported. Exposure modeling in a 5 times 20 kg powder pouring scenario, suggests that excessive dust concentrations may be reached during use of powders with the highest dustiness levels. By number, filter-damage by three pinhole sizes resulted in damage-dependent penetration of 70–80 nm-size particles, but by volume and mass the penetration is still dominated by particles larger than 100 nm. Whereas the exposure potential was evident, the potential dust concentrations in air ducts following the pouring scenario above were at pg/m3 levels. Hence, filter penetration at these damage levels was assumed to be only critical, if the active ingredients were associated with high hazard or unique product purity is required.

description: The cutting dust created by the shearer drum is the main source of dust on a fully mechanized coal face. However, overexposure to respirable dust may cause pneumoconiosis in coal workers, while coal dust may lead to serious explosions. The fully mechanized face known as II1051 Face, found at the Zhuxianzhuang Coal Mine located in east China, generates dust by way of the drum on a high-power shear. The coal seam involves hard rock parting so there is a high concentration of cutting dust when the shearer is working. Thus, we developed a new foam dust suppression method with an air self-suction system based on an analysis of the dust generation characteristics that suppressed the shearer cutting dust level. The new foam system was evaluated in a field test where the dust concentration was measured at two points. The results showed that the foam reduced the cutting dust concentration significantly. The respirable dust exposure levels were reduced from 378.4 mg/m3to 53.5 mg/m3and the visibility was enhanced dramatically. Thus, we conclude that our new foam system is highly efficient at capturing cutting dust, and it has a much lower water consumption. [Supplementary materials are available for this article.

description: ABSTRACTA new cetotheriid baleen whale, Brandtocetus chongulek, gen. et sp. nov., is described from the late Miocene of Crimea, Ukraine. The type series is represented by three partial skulls with periotic bones and tympanic bullae, one of the three belonging to a juvenile. Brandtocetus chongulek has transversely expanded squamosals, ‘S’-shaped nuchal crests, an anterior margin of the occipital shield extending anterior to the center of the temporal fossa, and an elongated posterior process of the tympanoperiotic. The tympanoperiotic and postglenoid process of the squamosal are typical of cetotheriines (as opposed to herpetocetines). Comparison of the juvenile specimen with adults shows no differences in tympanoperiotic anatomy, moderate squamosal growth, and significant growth of the neurocranium after the age of at least 1 year. The phylogenetic analysis including 13 cetotheriids supports the monophyly of Cetotheriidae sensu stricto and suggests the monophyly of whales from the Eastern Paratethys (Brandtocetus, Cetotherium, Kurdalagonus, and possibly Eucetotherium). Brandtocetus and other cetotheriids from the Black Sea region possess cranial features hypothesized to be adaptations to a generalized filter feeding strategy combining different modes of suction feeding.

Contribution of gas kinetic theory to galaxy dynamics

description: Basing steady-state galaxy dynamics on the Vlasov equation and ntegrating observational data, we opt for a velocity ellipsoid whose major axis points towards the center of the galaxy. The calculation then gives its evolution in space, as well as the velocity field with a solid body at the center of the galaxy, and a velocity that tends towards a plateau at the periphery. Considerations based on the shape of the velocity ellipsoid thus reveal the necessary presence of an invisible component driving the galaxy's entire dynamics - a dark matter halo in the Standard Model, or a halo or gap in a negative-mass environment in the Janus cosmological model.

description: ABSTRACT Propyrotherium saxeum is one the least known members of Pyrotheria, an enigmatic group of extinct, giant, endemic South American ‘ungulates.’ The species was originally described based upon two isolated cheek teeth and two tusk fragments. Later authors assigned additional isolated teeth to this taxon, but the position within the tooth row of all these teeth remained uncertain, preventing an accurate dental characterization and taxonomic distinction from other related species. Here we reexamine the type specimens of P. saxeum and additional materials previously reported as belonging to this species, and analyze several lots of still undescribed specimens, in order to reconstruct the cheek tooth series. Based on comparisons with better known pyrotheres, we conclude that the most probable cheek teeth formula is P2–M3/p2–m3. The cheek teeth gradually increase in size from front to back, and the upper cheek teeth have a gradual increase in loph curvature, as in Pyrotherium. All cheek teeth are bilophodont, but in premolars the anterior loph/id is transversely shorter than the posterior. All have lingual/labial cingulum/id; P3–M3 are subquadratic and three-rooted; p4–m3 are longer than wide, two-rooted, and bear a variably developed vestige of cristid obliqua. Propyrotherium is distinguishable from Griphodon and Baguatherium, but the distinction between these latter two taxa is uncertain with the current evidence. A revised cladistic analysis confirms that Propyrotherium is one of the earliest diverging pyrotheriids, but the resolution of its relationship with Griphodon and Baguatherium requires further evidence.

description: Child and family health (C&FH) nursing services in New South Wales (NSW) have undergone rapid change in recent years. This is largely in response to policy change bought about by the implementation of ‘the Families First’ initiative of the State Government. This thesis utilised a health services research framework to explore, describe and analyse contemporary C&FH nursing practice and identify the major factors which impact on their ability to effectively support families. An ethnographic approach guided data collection and analysis across three different practice settings, reported as case studies. Case Study One explored C&FH nursing practice as provided to families through individual consultations in the home or the health centre. The second case study investigated the C&FH nurse as a facilitator of groups for parents with new babies. Finally, the third case study explored C&FH nursing practice as a member of a multidisciplinary team. The research identified the complexity of current C&FH nursing practice and a change in the philosophy that underpinned their practice that was difficult to adopt. While the findings across the three case studies were varied, one outcome apparent throughout the thesis was that nurses predominantly continue to frame their practice within an expert model. The nurses also struggled to deliver new service models whilst maintaining access to all families. Some explanations for the tensions experienced by the nurses relate to the age, educational preparation and leadership within the workforce. Other factors relate to the structures and management systems that were evident within the health service that employs them. Without suitable recognition and attention to the some of the key findings of this research, the C&FH nursing workforce will not achieve its maximum potential in the support of families with young children.

description: “Limno-reservoirs” are small waterbodies constructed in the riverine zone of large Mediterranean reservoirs to preserve a constant water level, with the goal of mitigating the undesirable effects of reservoir operation, including those related to water level fluctuations. The Pareja limno-reservoir was among the first limno-reservoirs, and its purposes are both environmental and recreational. Phytoplankton is one of the compulsory biological indicators used to estimate ecological status in lakes and reservoirs in accordance with the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD). Chlorophyll a (Chl-a) and phytoplankton biovolume in the Pareja limno-reservoir were studied between spring 2008 and winter 2011. Phytoplankton composition was analyzed employing the functional group approach. The suitability of several phytoplankton metrics to assess the ecological status of the limno-reservoir was verified, including Chl-a, total biovolume, cyanobacteria contribution and absolute biovolume, IGA (Índex de grups algals), MedPTI (Mediterranean Phytoplankton Trophic Index), Assemblage (Q) Index, and PTI (Phytoplankton Trophic Index). Phytoplankton composition was dominated by centric diatoms from functional group B, although they were replaced by other groups in some periods as a response to environmental changes. Checking the response of the phytoplankton metrics to a trophic gradient in addition to Chl-a, we determined that total biovolume, Q Index, and especially PTI were the most appropriate metrics to assess the ecological status of the Pareja limno-reservoir. This approach has relevant management implications for Mediterranean limno-reservoirs. Ecological status assessment may not yet be mandatory in countries such as Spain, but considering environmental and recreational goals, performing such assessments is advisable.

description: A global dataset was compiled to examine relations between the total nitrogen to total phosphorus ratio (TN:TP) and microcystin concentration in lakes and reservoirs. Microcystin concentration decreased as TN:TP ratios increased, suggesting that manipulation of the TN:TP ratio may reduce microcystin concentrations. This relationship was experimentally tested by adding ammonium nitrate to increase the TN:TP ratio in large-scale (70 m3), in situ mesocosms located in a eutrophic reservoir that routinely experiences toxic blooms of cyanobacteria. At a TN:TP ratio >75:1, chlorophytes dominated the phytoplankton community in the mesocosms, while cyanobacterial biovolume was significantly reduced and microcystin was not detected. In contrast, the unmanipulated reservoir was dominated by cyanobacteria, and microcystin was detected. Secchi depths were 1.1 to 1.8 times greater in the mesocosms relative to the reservoir. Cladoceran zooplankton had a larger body size (0.14 mm on average) in the mesocosms compared to conspecifics in the reservoir, which was likely related to the higher quality food. Combined, these empirical and experimental data indicate that although nutrient addition is counterintuitive to current cyanobacteria management practices, increasing the TN:TP ratio by adding nitrogen may be a potential short-term management strategy to reduce cyanobacteria and cyanotoxins when other alternatives (e.g., phosphorus reduction) are not possible. Additional experimental studies with careful controls are needed to define best management practices and identify any potential unintended consequences before nitrogen addition is implemented as a lake and reservoir management practice.

description: In this article, we use U.S. real-time data to produce combined density nowcasts of quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, using a system of three commonly used model classes. We update the density nowcast for every new data release throughout the quarter, and highlight the importance of new information for nowcasting. Our results show that the logarithmic score of the predictive densities for U.S. GDP growth increase almost monotonically, as new information arrives during the quarter. While the ranking of the model classes changes during the quarter, the combined density nowcasts always perform well relative to the model classes in terms of both logarithmic scores and calibration tests. The density combination approach is superior to a simple model selection strategy and also performs better in terms of point forecast evaluation than standard point forecast combinations.

description: In this study, we propose a multivariate stochastic model for Web site visit duration, page views, purchase incidence, and the sale amount for online retailers. The model is constructed by composition from carefully selected distributions and involves copula components. It allows for the strong nonlinear relationships between the sales and visit variables to be explored in detail, and can be used to construct sales predictions. The model is readily estimated using maximum likelihood, making it an attractive choice in practice given the large sample sizes that are commonplace in online retail studies. We examine a number of top-ranked U.S. online retailers, and find that the visit duration and the number of pages viewed are both related to sales, but in very different ways for different products. Using Bayesian methodology, we show how the model can be extended to a finite mixture model to account for consumer heterogeneity via latent household segmentation. The model can also be adjusted to accommodate a more accurate analysis of online retailers like apple.com that sell products at a very limited number of price points. In a validation study across a range of different Web sites, we find that the purchase incidence and sales amount are both forecast more accurately using our model, when compared to regression, probit regression, a popular data-mining method, and a survival model employed previously in an online retail study.

description: This article proposes new unit root tests for panels where the errors may be not only serial and/or cross-correlated, but also unconditionally heteroscedastic. Despite their generality, the test statistics are shown to be very simple to implement, requiring only minimal corrections and still the limiting distributions under the null hypothesis are completely free from nuisance parameters. Monte Carlo evidence is also provided to suggest that the new tests perform well in small samples, also when compared to some of the existing tests.

description: Introduction: Cranioplasty is a widely practised neurosurgical procedure aimed at reconstructing a skull defect, but its impact on a patient’s rehabilitation following a traumatic brain injury (TBI) or stroke could be better understood. In addition, there are many issues that a TBI patient or the patient who had a stroke and their families may have to adapt to. Insight into some of the potential social barriers, including issues related to social engagement and cosmetic considerations, would be beneficial. Currently, little is known about how this procedure impacts a patient’s recovery, the patient’s perceptions of rehabilitation precranioplasty and postcranioplasty and the broader issues of cosmesis and social reintegration. This study hopes to understand some of these issues and therefore help inform clinicians of some of the difficulties and perceptions that patients and their relatives may have. Methods and analysis: A mixed-methods study. Data will be collected through focus groups with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and semi-structured interviews with patients and their relatives, field notes, a researcher diary and a patient questionnaire. Different perspectives will be brought together through method triangulation. Patient and relative data will be analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis, and HCPs data will be analysed thematically using deductive and inductive coding. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval has been obtained from the Wales REC 7 ethics committee (Rec ref: 19/WA/0315). There is limited literature regarding a patient’s perception of the cranioplasty process, the potential impact on rehabilitation and how this may impact their reintegration into the community. The results of this study will be presented at national brain injury conferences and published in peer-reviewed, national and international journals.

The model is readily estimated using maximum likelihood, making it an attractive choice in practice given the large sample sizes that are commonplace in online retail studies. We examine a number of top-ranked U.S. online retailers, and find that the visit duration and the number of pages viewed are both related to sales, but in very different ways for different products. Using Bayesian methodology, we show how the model can be extended to a finite mixture model to account for consumer heterogeneity via latent household segmentation. The model can also be adjusted to accommodate a more accurate analysis of online retailers like apple.com that sell products at a very limited number of price points. In a validation study across a range of different Web sites, we find that the purchase incidence and sales amount are both forecast more accurately using our model, when compared to regression, probit regression, a popular data-mining method, and a survival model employed previously in an online retail study.

description: In this article, we use U.S. real-time data to produce combined density nowcasts of quarterly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, using a system of three commonly used model classes. We update the density nowcast for every new data release throughout the quarter, and highlight the importance of new information for nowcasting. Our results show that the logarithmic score of the predictive densities for U.S. GDP growth increase almost monotonically, as new information arrives during the quarter. While the ranking of the model classes changes during the quarter, the combined density nowcasts always perform well relative to the model classes in terms of both logarithmic scores and calibration tests. The density combination approach is superior to a simple model selection strategy and also performs better in terms of point forecast evaluation than standard point forecast combinations.

description: Presentation given at The International's Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM), London, 2022. Presents a summary of European and North American funder policies relating to reproducible and open research, highlighting the primacy of interest in open data and return on investment. I suggest we are currently in a transition period where researchers have to fit into both the "old" and "new" systems, and propose that we will find a way forward by investing in new job roles, infrastructure and a focus on team science.

description: Determining the thermodynamic driving force of metal-bacteria surface complexation is important for understanding why, from a thermodynamic perspective, these spontaneous reactions occur. We therefore determined the Gibbs energies, enthalpies, and entropies of Cd and Zn complexation onto Bacillus licheniformis and of Zn complexation onto Bacillus subtilis using surface complexation modeling and isothermal titration calorimetry. Our results indicated that Cd and Zn complexation onto Bacillus licheniformis is entropically driven at low pH and enthalpically driven at circumneutral pH. Zn complexation onto Bacillus subtilis is entropically driven, which suggests that Bacillus licheniformis has different donor ligands dominating reactivity around circumneutral pH.
Heteroscedasticity Robust Panel Unit Root Tests

description: This article proposes new unit root tests for panels where the errors may be not only serial and/or cross-correlated, but also unconditionally heteroscedastic. Despite their generality, the test statistics are shown to be very simple to implement, requiring only minimal corrections and still the limiting distributions under the null hypothesis are completely free from nuisance parameters. Monte Carlo evidence is also provided to suggest that the new tests perform well in small samples, also when compared to some of the existing tests. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: Disposal of untreated olive mill waste waters (OMW) is a serious environmental problem in many Mediterranean countries. The aim of this work was to assess whether changes in soil properties have occurred due to direct disposal of raw OMW on soil and in evaporation ponds, and to investigate the potential fate and transport of pollutants after olive oil production had ceased. The results clearly showed that uncontrolled OMW disposal is a significant source of pollution to surface soil and waters. Disposal of OMW on soil greatly increased electrical conductivity (EC), available phosphorous (P), exchangeable potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg), organic matter, polyphenols, total and inorganic nitrogen (N), and available micronutrients mainly in surface soil layers. The presence of a high content of clay and carbonates in soil act as barriers and prevent downward transport of pollutants. Residual levels of total carbon (C), polyphenols, total and inorganic N, exchangeable K+, available P, iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) were also elevated even 8 years after mill closure. The long term disposal of OMW highlights the need to establish soil quality standards for soil parameters in order to identify soils affected by the disposal of OMW.

description: De manière spectaculaire, les ciliés remodèlent l'intégralité de leur génome germinal, de façon reproductible à chaque cycle sexuel, lors de la formation de leur noyau somatique (macronoyau, ou MAC). Conjointement à une synthèse élevée d'ADN, qui permettra d'atteindre le niveau de polyploïdie nal du MAC (800n), des séquences d'ADN sont éliminées. Chez la paramécie, à l'élimination imprécise de séquences répétées liée à la fragmentation des chromosomes, s'oppose l'élimination précise de séquences internes, les IES (pour Internal Eliminated Sequences ). Les IES sont de courtes séquences non codantes, présentant un dinucléotide 5'-TA-3' à chacune de leurs bornes, et réparties dans l'ensemble du génome, tant dans les séquences codantes que non codantes. Des cassures double-brin (CDB) ont été caractérisées aux bornes des IES au laboratoire : l'excision précise de ces séquences nécessite donc que les chromosomes soient refermés lors d'une étape de réparation sans perte de séquence macronucléaire. Étant donnée la densité estimée des IES (plusieurs dizaines de milliers par génome haploïde), ceci impliquerait la présence d'une CDB à réparer tous les 1 à 2 kb, un réel dé à relever lors du développement de chaque nouveau MAC. La géométrie particulière des CDB, de 4 bases sortantes en 5' et centrées sur le TA, ainsi que l'observation d'un seul TA au niveau des jonctions formées sur les produits moléculaires de l'excision, a contribué à la proposition d'un modèle d'excision basé sur l'introduction d'une CDB à chaque borne, suivie d'une réparation par recollement des extrémités. Mon travail de thèse s'inscrit dans la problématique de l'identication des acteurs protéiques impliqués dans les réarrangements, et plus précisément dans l'excision des IES. Je me suis intéressée à l'étape nale de la réparation, ce qui m'a amenée à caractériser les ligases ADN dépendantes de l'ATP chez la paramécie. L'analyse fonctionnelle de la Ligase IV et de son partenaire Xrcc4, impliqués dans une voie cellulaire canonique de réparation des CDB (Non Homologous End-Joining ou NHEJ), a montré qu'ils étaient indispensables à la réparation des CDB introduites lors de l'excision des IES. Mes résultats ont permis d'apporter une preuve directe que des CDB initiatrices sont introduites de part et d'autre de chaque IES et d'intégrer les acteurs protéiques de la voie NHEJ, avérés ou supposés, dans un modèle actualisé d'excision des IES. Ainsi, la paramécie constitue un organisme modèle potentiellement très intéressant pour l'étude, à l'échelle d'un génome entier, de l'implication de la voie NHEJ dans la réparation précise de CDB introduites de façon programmée.

description: Essay as originally posted on FQXi, August 31, 2012 (http://fqxi.org/community/forum/topic/1462). Abstract: Contrary to common lore, the standard model of particle physics has a “landscape” of physically inequivalent vacua, most of them quite different from ours. I discuss some cosmological consequences and related observational constraints, show how non-perturbative electroweak dynamics selects our special vacuum, and put an old idea to rest.
