description: This thesis presents the results of zooarchaeological analyses conducted on faunal remains obtained from various contexts at the ancient Maya site of Aventura, Belize. I incorporate vertebrate and invertebrate remains and stable isotope analyses to provide novel information regarding ecology, subsistence, and household cooperation at the site. I find that the vertebrate assemblage is primarily composed of mammalian taxa, which are commonly found at Maya sites. Stable isotope analysis indicates that vertebrate animals were obtained from a variety of habitats, including forests and gardens. The invertebrate assemblage is characterized by an abundance of marine mollusks, many of which can be found in the shallow waters of nearby Chetumal Bay. There are general similarities in the faunal taxa used by elite and commoner households, although the frequencies of those taxa vary by status. In addition, the invertebrate remains demonstrate that households of all socioeconomic backgrounds participated in a sitewide marine shell-crafting industry. These zooarchaeological results shed additional light on Aventura’s role in trade and politics in Northern Belize and the greater Maya region.

description: Cooking has been recognized as one of the most important sources of indoor air pollutants. Several studies evaluated black carbon emissions from cooking fumes. Black carbon (BC) could affect human health as a carbonaceous part of the cooking particles. This study develops a statistical model to estimate the emission fluxes of black carbon from heating 17 different oils (avocado, canola, coconut, corn, olive, peanut, vegetable (soybean), grapeseed, hazelnut, macadamia, almond, sunflower, safflower, flax, walnut, pumpkin seed, and sesame). The oils were heated in a beaker for 20 min at 195–200 °C. Macadamia oil showed the highest BC emission rate of 11.08 (SD = 4.94) µg/min, while peanut oil resulted in the lowest BC emission rate of 0.68 (SD = 0.63) µg/min. Oils including macadamia (11.08 [SD = 4.94] µg/min), coconut (9.85 [SD = 2.20] µg/min), flax (7.93 [SD = 2.46] µg/min), pumpkin (5.65 [SD = 2.22] µg/min), grapeseed (5.43 [SD = 7.85] µg/min), hazelnut (4.65 [SD = 2.48] µg/min) and sesame (4.33 [SD = 2.53] µg/min) were among the high BC-emitting oils (>4 µg/min) at 195 °C, while avocado (3.74 [SD = 3.20] µg/min), olive (3.73 [SD = 1.59] µg/min), corn (2.71 [SD = 2.09] µg/min), almond (2.44 [SD = 1.55] µg/min), walnut (1.76 [SD = 0.56] µg/min), canola (1.58 [SD = 0.90] µg/min), vegetable (1.30 [SD = 1.10] µg/min), safflower (0.92 [SD = 0.56] µg/min), sunflower (0.88 [SD = 0.44] µg/min), and peanut (0.68 [SD = 0.63] µg/min) were among the low BC-emitting oils (<4 µg/min). We present correlations between the BC emission flux from heating these cooking oils and two cooking factors, oil temperature and oil smoke temperature. Despite some exceptions, most of the oils showed that oil temperatures above the smoke point of the oil is an insignificant factor in BC emissions.

Inclusive Postsecondary Education

description: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted to dive into the perspectives of inclusive postsecondary education (IPSE) program directors and/or staff to understand elements of physical activity within their program. A total of seven research questions were developed to better understand what programs are doing structurally to increase physical activity levels for their students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/D), as well as barriers programs face in getting students to be more active. Individuals from seven IPSE programs were interviewed. The research questions examined current levels of program physical activity, the importance of physical activity according to staff, staff roles in promoting physical activity, program structures for physical activity, natural supports to increase physical activity, barriers to physical activity, and recommendations to other IPSE programs. Implications for practice and research are discussed.

INTRODUCTION: US tobacco manufacturers can seek authorization from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market products using modified risk tobacco product (MRTP) claims. To inform regulatory decisions, we examined the impact of MRTP claim specificity and content, including whether the claims produced halo effects (ie, inferring health benefits beyond what is stated). AIMS AND METHODS: Participants were 3161 US adult cigarette smokers. Using a two (general vs. specific) × 2 (risk vs. exposure) plus independent control design, we randomized participants to view one message from these conditions: general risk claim (eg, "smoking-related diseases"), general exposure claim (eg, "chemicals in smoke"), specific risk claim (eg, "lung cancer"), specific exposure claim (eg, "arsenic"), or control. Claims described the benefits of completely switching from cigarettes to the heated tobacco product IQOS. RESULTS: MRTP claims of any sort elicited a higher willingness to try IQOS relative to control (d = 0.09, p = .043). Claims also elicited lower perceived risk of disease and exposure to harmful chemicals for completely switching from cigarettes to IQOS (d = -0.32 and -0.31) and partially switching (d = -0.25 and d = -0.26; all p < .05). Relative to specific MRTP claims, general MRTP claims led to lower perceived risk and exposure for complete switching (d = -0.13 and d = -0.16) and partial switching (d = -0.14 and d = -0.12; all p < .05). Risk and exposure MRTP claims had similar effects (all p > .05). DISCUSSION: MRTP claims led to lower perceived risk and exposure, and higher willingness to try IQOS. General claims elicited larger effects than specific claims. MRTP claims also promoted unintended halo effects (eg, lower perceived risk of disease and chemical exposure for partial switching). IMPLICATIONS: We found evidence that MRTP claims promoted health halo effects. In light of these findings, the FDA should require research on halo effects prior to authorization. Further, if an MRTP claim is authorized, FDA should require tobacco manufacturers to conduct post-market surveillance of how the claim affects consumer understanding, including partial switching perceived risk and exposure beliefs, as well as monitoring of dual-use behaviors.

This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different cover crops at remediating soil compaction and to identify best management practices (specifically, irrigation and planting dates) for utilizing cover crops. The experiment evaluated the performance of three cover crops (tillage radish, fava bean, and sudangrass) with two distinct root systems (taproots and fibrous roots) planted on two different dates and grown with and without irrigation in Pierce County, WA. The Pacific Northwest maritime climate is generally cool but with warm, dry summers; soil texture ranged from loamy sand to silt loam.

description: Emissions from small gas turbine engines pose environmental and health risks and they are, dependent of engine type and manufacture date, not regulated or only subject to smoke emission standards resulting in a lack of detailed emission characterization. This study examines the emission behavior of an Allison 250-C20B turboshaft engine when powered by different blends (30, 50, and 100%) of Hydroprocessed Esters and Fatty Acids (HEFA) based Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The change in engine power is linked to differences in gaseous and particulate matter (PM) emissions. Emission indices (EI) for gas phase constituents are reduced at higher power settings due to a higher combustion chamber efficiency resulting from better fuel atomization, fuel-air mixing behavior, and higher flame temperatures. Differences in gaseous EI at the same power setting between the fuels investigated are negligible for all regulated gaseous compounds (UHC, CO, NOx). However, there are variations in the gaseous volatile organic compounds (VOC) and in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Significantly more pronounced changes can be seen in the particulate phase. The non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) number concentrations were reduced by up to 81% using 100% SAF compared to Jet A-1 fuel. In addition, using SAF shifts the mode of the particle number size distribution (PNSD) to smaller sizes, that is, from the maximum at 55 nm (Jet A-1) to a maximum at 25 nm (100% SAF). This reduces the emitted particle mass up to 76%. The reduction can be explained by the chemical composition of the fuels and the subsequent PAH and soot formation during combustion.

description: This study investigates the effectiveness of electrospun nanofibrous filters in capturing polydisperse virus-containing aerosols and the subsequent release of viruses, in comparison with standard commercial filters used in respirators, military gas masks, and devices for airborne virus sampling. We assessed the performance of these filters in capturing and releasing polydisperse aerosols containing MS2 bacteriophage, as well as in their ability to filter monodisperse dioctyl phthalate aerosols measuring 0.185 and 0.3 µm in diameter. Our findings indicate that nanofibrous filters provide superior filtration efficiency for monodisperse aerosols, achieving a reduction in the concentration of penetrating aerosols by 2–3 orders of magnitude compared to their commercial counterparts. However, this enhanced efficiency is accompanied by a higher pressure drop and a lower quality factor, underscoring the need for further improvements. Additionally, our research confirms the feasibility of producing aligned nanofibers via multiple-jet needleless electrospinning, though alignment did not significantly impact filtration efficiency. Nanofibrous filters demonstrated filtration efficiency for aerosolized virus-containing particles that was comparable to or better than that of commercial filters. Notably, certain nanofibrous filters exhibited exceptionally low rates of viral aerosol capture and release, indicating a potential for virus neutralization. Moreover, filters made from water-soluble electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone significantly outperformed those made from gelatin in terms of viral particle release, underscoring the potential of water-soluble electrospun materials in improving viral particle collection. Overall, our study highlights the significant promise of electrospun nanofibers in public health, especially in enhancing defenses against the transmission of viral aerosols.

description: Typhlodromalus spinosus (Meyer & Rodrigues)
Amblyseius spinosus Meyer & Rodrigues 1966: 30; Moraes et al. 1986: 31.
Kampimodromus spinosus, Quilici et al. 2000: 100.
Typhlodromalus spinosus, Moraes et al. 2004: 204; Chant & McMurtry 2005a: 199, 2007:
111.
This species belongs to the athiasae species group as setae J1 and S5 are absent. This species group contains six species (Chant and McMurtry 2005b, Moraes et al. 2006).
Typhlodromalus spinosus was collected from Eastern, Western, but mainly Southern Africa and La Réunion (Demite et al. 2020). The rapid multiplication of this species on the western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande, was confirmed and clear evidence that T. spinosus predates on WFT under laboratory and field conditions, but not T on. urticae (Mwangi et al. 2015). This species seems abundant in low vegetation as it was found in high populations in a study of companion plants in citrus orchard (Le Bellec et al. unpub. data).
This species has never been record from Guadeloupe or Martinique in similar studies, but it is interesting to notice that in those islands, another Typhlodromalus was collected, T. peregrinus (Muma) (Mailloux et al. 2010; Kreiter et al. 2013, 2018c). Typhlodromalus spinosus was recorded in low numbers from La Réunion by Quilici et al. (2000) and in high numbers by Kreiter et al. (2020c). This is the first mention of this species from Mauritius Island.
World distribution: Benin, Burundi Dr Congo, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, La Réunion Island.
Specimens examined: 3 ♀♀ in total. Côte d’Or, Village (aasl 443 m, lat. 20°15 ′ 26 ″ S, long. 57°32 ′ 21 ″ E), 1 ♀ on Clibadium surinamense L. (Asteraceae), 28/X/2018; Le Val, close to the river (aasl 157 m, lat. 20°22 ′ 47 ″ S, long. 55°36 ′ 18 ″ E), 1 ♀ on Callistemon citrinus (William Curtis) Homer Collar Skeels (Myrtaceae), 1/XI/2018; Curepipe, Bld Pasteur (aasl 510 m, lat. 20°19 ′ 21 ″ S, long. 57°31 ′ 45 ″ E), 1 ♀ on C. citrinus, 4/XI/2018.
Remarks: this species was described from Mozambique (Meyer and Rodrigues 1966), then mentioned in the Indian Ocean from La Réunion Island (Quilici et al. 2000; Kreiter et al. 2020c). Morphological and morphometric characters and all measurements of our specimens fit well measurements in Kreiter et al. (2020c).

plastic pollution

description: This thesis explores the application of hyperspectral imaging techniques for the classification of plastic pollution in water. The study utilizes a double-camera setup covering the electromagnetic spectrum from visible (VIS) to shortwave infrared (SWIR) ranges. In particular, the Specim FX17 camera captures images in the NIR-SWIR range, offering a high-resolution spectral view of the samples.
description: The preprocessing of the acquired data involves several steps, including the combination of white and dark reference images, masking to isolate the target plastics, and patch extraction to extract spectral information. These processes are crucial for enhancing the quality of the dataset and preparing it for further analysis.
description: One of the significant challenges encountered in the study is the presence of background noise in the images. To address this issue, manual masking techniques are employed to isolate the plastic samples from other materials present in the water. However, improvements in automated masking techniques are identified as an area for future research.
description: The classification process involves training a convolutional neural network (CNN) on the preprocessed data. The network is trained to classify different types of plastics, including PET, PP, and others. Results indicate the effectiveness of the CNN in accurately identifying and classifying plastic samples based on their spectral signatures.
description: Further experiments involve the analysis of plastic samples obtained from a recycling company using infrared spectroscopy. The dataset consists of spectral data collected from various plastic samples, each represented as a 6 x 9 x 690 image. The study explores different patch extraction techniques to maximize the information extracted from the dataset.
description: Overall, this thesis highlights the potential of hyperspectral imaging combined with machine learning techniques for the classification of plastic pollution. It identifies key challenges and proposes avenues for future research, including improvements in data collection methods, automated masking techniques, and the development of more sophisticated classification algorithms.

description: Aircraft gas turbine engines produce Particulate Matter (PM) emissions that have been linked to human health and climate issues, leading to the introduction of regulatory sampling and measurement standards for nonvolatile PM (nvPM) by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Due to the significant nvPM losses within the prescribed sampling systems, loss corrections are used. Currently, based on sampling assumptions, electrostatic losses are not included in the standardized loss tool, as it is estimated to account for less than 3% of the total nvPM loss. This study experimentally investigated electrostatic loss of unipolar, bipolar, and naturally charged salt, silver, and carbon black particles at sizes (4–150 nm) and through sampling tubes representative of aircraft nvPM sampling. A unipolar and bipolar charger, along with a tandem SMPS-CPC measurement methodology, were employed to explore the impacts of tube material, Reynolds Number, tube diameter, residence time, and particle charge state on electrostatic loss. Minimal electrostatic loss was measured for conductive stainless steel and extensively bedded-in (above 300 h) carbon-loaded PTFE. However, an additional loss of up to 50% was observed within new cPTFE (with approximately 30 min of bedding-in), attributed to precipitation in an electric field. Furthermore, it was found that electrostatic dispersion could cause significant additional losses at high concentrations of unipolar or bipolar asymmetrically charged particles. Therefore, further research is required to determine the charge state of aircraft nvPM across different aircraft engine conditions to determine if unquantified electrostatic loss could occur within the probe section of the sampling system.

description:
OBJECTIVE: Presumptive recommendations that assume parents want to vaccinate can increase human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine uptake. We sought to examine how visit characteristics affect health care professionals' (HCPs) intention to use this evidence-based recommendation style. METHODS: In 2022, we conducted an online experiment with 2527 HCPs who had a role in adolescent vaccination in the United States. Participants read 1 of 8 randomly assigned vignettes about a well-child visit. Using a 2 × 2 × 2 between-subjects factorial design, the vignettes varied the following visit characteristics: patient age (9 vs. 12-year-old), prior parental vaccine refusal (yes vs. no), and time pressure on the HCP (low vs. high). HCPs reported on their intention to use a presumptive HPV vaccine recommendation, as well as on related attitudes, subjective norms, and self-efficacy. Analyses used 3-way analysis of variance and parallel mediation. RESULTS: Participants were pediatricians (26%), family/general medicine physicians (22%), advanced practitioners (24%), and nursing staff (28%). Overall, about two-thirds of HCPs (64%) intended to use a presumptive recommendation. Intentions were higher for older children (b = 0.23) and parents without prior vaccine refusal (b = 0.39, both p < 0.001). Time pressure had no main effect or interactions. HCPs' attitudes and self-efficacy partially mediated effects of patient age and prior vaccine refusal (range of b = 0.04-0.28, all p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: To better support visits with younger children and parents who have refused vaccines, HCPs may need more training for making presumptive recommendations for HPV vaccine. Reinforcing positive attitudes and self-efficacy can help HCPs adopt this evidence-based recommendation style.

description: Soot generated by non-premixed combustion is comprised of primary particles of non-uniform size. Typically, the variation in primary particle size is small within individual aggregates but large between the aggregates, that is, primary particle size is “externally mixed.” However, one occasionally sees an agglomerate composed of several sub-aggregates having distinctly different primary particle sizes. These hybrid agglomerates could arise from a secondary growth stage beyond the flame after the main in-flame formation processes. Here, we explore this hypothesis using a two-stage Langevin dynamics (LD) model inspired by our observations from electron microscopy. Our two-stage algorithm focuses on how post-flame agglomeration redistributes the morphological properties of aggregates. We use experimental information to enforce the more complex in-flame processes. We find that post-flame agglomeration shifts the correlation between the aggregate size and primary particle size rightward. This is because agglomeration does not change the overall population of primary particles but does move the primary particles to larger aggregates. The range of variations in primary particle size within individual aggregates is meanwhile reduced until eventually the larger hybrid super-agglomerates contain similar distributions of primary particle sizes, i.e., primary particle size becomes internally mixed. The fractal dimension of hybrid agglomerates is essentially the same as for the conventional DLCA aggregates, but the area shielding factor is reduced, that is, more of the total surface area is visible in projected images. Based on a simplified model of mobility, the simulations suggest that post-flame agglomeration reduces the effective density and mass-mobility exponent. The agglomerates produced by the two-stage LD model qualitatively resemble real soot observed in the experimental images and may be useful for detailed calculations of transport and optical properties.

Synonyms: Ailurina Gray 1843; Ailurinae Trouessart 1885.
Genera: 1 genus with 1 species:
Genus Ailurus F. G. Cuvier 1825 (1 species with 2 subspecies)
Discussion: Biochemical and molecular evidence has suggested that the enigmatic Ailurus is either (1) intermediate between procyonids and ursids (O'Brien et al., 1985; Sarich, 1973; Tagle et al., 1986; Wayne et al., 1989; Wurster and Benirschke, 1968); (2) more closely related to ursids than to procyonids (Todd and Pressmann, 1968; Zhang and Shi, 1991); (3) more closely related to procyonids than to ursids (Goldman et al., 1989; Pecon Slattery and O'Brien, 1995), or, finally; (4) more closely related to mephitids+procyonids (Bininda-Emonds et al., 1999; Flynn et al., 2000). Morphological studies have pointed out the lack of any shared derived features with the procyonids (Bugge, 1978; Decker and Wozencraft, 1991; Ginsburg, 1982; Hunt, 1974; Mayr, 1986; Schmidt-Kittler, 1981; Wozencraft, 1989 a, b). Flynn et al. (1988) could not find any unambiguous features to place Ailurus with the procyonids, and only two characters to unite Ailurus with some procyonids, the loss of M 3 (shared also with mustelids) and the presence of a cusp on P 4 on some, but not all procyonids. Wozencraft (1989) found nine shared derived features with the Ursidae, and Decker and Wozencraft (1991) identified six unambiguous shared derived features of the procyonids, all of which are lacking in Ailurus. Flynn et al. (2000) showed strong support for a musteloid clade consisting of Ailurus, Mephitidae, Mustelidae, and Procyonidae. Synonyms allocated according to McKenna and Bell (1997).

Syneches bilobatus Menezes & Ale-Rocha, 2016: 411–413, figs 26–32, 106, 118. Type locality: Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil.
Diagnosis. Small size (1.8 mm) (Fig. 12A). Antenna dark brown (Fig. 12C). Scutum pyramidal-shaped, broader than mesopleuron in lateral view, covered with reddish brown pruinescence (Fig. 12B). Fore and mid tibiae brown to dark brown with yellow base and apex; hind tarsomere 1 brown with base and apex yellow. Wing hyaline; pterostigma inconspicuous; R 2+3 slightly angulate apically; cells br, bm and cua subequally long; second section of M 1 slightly shorter than crossvein r-m (Fig. 12E). Apical margin of hypandrium slightly convex and epandrial lamellae with short apical projection.
Type material examined. HOLOTYPE ♂ (INPA) labelled: “ BRASIL, Amazona s, Manaus, R[eserva Florestal Adolpho] Ducke, 16–17.iii.1993, Varredura-orla da mata, João Vidal ” “ Holótipo, Syneches bilobatus, Menezes & Ale-Rocha ” [red label]. Holotype condition: left hind leg and right mid tarsus broken off; not dissected.
Distribution. Brazil (Amazonas) (Fig. 50). Syneches bilobatus is known to occurr only from the Amazon biome.
Remarks. Syneches bilobatus is similar to S. pyramidatus given the wing hyaline, pterostigma inconspicuous, scutum pyramidal-shaped, broader than mesopleuron and covered with reddish brown pruinescence. However, the species differs from S. pyramidatus by the brown to dark brown fore and mid tibiae with yellow base and apex (yellow in S. pyramidatus), hind tarsomere 1 brown with base and apex yellow (yellow in S. pyramidatus) and second section of M 1 slightly shorter than crossvein r-m (second section of M 1 longer than r-m in S. pyramidatus). The original description states that there is yellowish-gray pruinescence forming dorsocentral and supra-alar stripes (Menezes & Ale-Rocha 2016), but we could not distinguish the yellowish-gray stripe in the holotype and paratypes, and now consider that the whole scutum is covered with a reddish brown pruinescence.
