Fluoxetine and Crab Behavior: Multiple Linear Regression
Creators: name: Shotwell, Leah
Publisher: name: QUBES Educational Resources
Year: 2022

description: This publication explores the behavioral influence of pharmaceutical pollution on a species of estuarine crab. Fluoxetine is a commonly prescribed, fairly effective anti-depressant and anti-anxiety medication. Its effects are well-documented in humans, but little research has been conducted to determine how concentrations of fluoxetine within aquatic habitats alter the survivorship and behavioral patterns of the species living there. The researchers that put forth the data at the source of this project expose the Oregon shore crab to varying levels of fluoxetine and record their behaviors. The research itself consists of two different portions: intraspecific interactions and interspecific interactions. As a result of this experiment, the crabs exposed to 30 ng/L of fluoxetine were found to be less risk-averse, leading them to get into more fights amongst their own species and become more likely to be killed by predators.
Engineering oocyte-secreted factors to improve the treatment of female infertility
Creators: name: Stocker, William Andrew
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: William's research investigated the synthesis and signalling of several ovarian growth factors known to have critical functions for female fertility. By understanding how these growth factors are made and signal, William was able to produce several analogues with greater potency than the naturally occurring forms. These potent engineered growth factors have therapeutic applications for both the preservation of female fertility and the treatment of infertility. Whilst developed primarily for use in women, they also have broader applications in other mammalian species; including as contraceptives in pest species and domesticated animals, and for reproduction of agricultural animals and endangered species.

description: Hypothesis:
This article presents a free-radical polymerization method in a mesostructured system – free of any surfactants, protective colloids, or other auxiliary agents. It is applicable for a large variety of industrially relevant vinylic monomers. The aim of this work is to study the impact of surfactant-free mesostructuring on the polymerization kinetics and the polymer derived.

Experiments:
So-called surfactant-free microemulsions (SFME) were investigated as reaction media with a simple composition comprising water, a hydrotrope (ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, tert-butyl alcohol), and the monomer as the reactive oil phase (methyl methacrylate). Polymerization reactions were performed using oil-soluble, thermal- and UV-active initiators (surfactant-free microsuspension polymerization) and water-soluble, redox-active initiators (surfactant-free microemulsion polymerization). Structural analysis of the SFMEs used and the polymerization kinetics were followed by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Dried polymers were analyzed with regard to their conversion yield by mass balance, the corresponding molar masses were determined using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and the morphology was investigated by light microscopy.

Findings:
All alcohols are suitable hydrotropes to form SFMEs, except for ethanol, which forms a molecularly disperse system. We observe significant differences in the polymerization kinetics and the molar masses of the polymers obtained. Ethanol leads to significantly higher molar masses. Within a system, higher concentrations of the other alcohols investigated give rise to less pronounced mesostructuring, lower conversions, and lower average molar masses. It could be demonstrated that the effective concentration of alcohol in the oil-rich pseudophases as well as the repulsive effect of the surfactant-free, alcohol-rich interphases constitute the relevant factors influencing polymerization. Concerning the morphology, the polymers derived range from powder-like polymers in the so-called “pre-Ouzo region” over porous-solid polymers in the bicontinuous region to dense, almost compacted, transparent polymers in unstructured regions, comparable to the findings for surfactant-based systems reported in the literature. Polymerizations in SFME comprise a new intermediate between well-known solution (i.e., molecularly dispersed) and microemulsion respectively microsuspension polymerization processes.

Twigitecture
NbS

description: Twigitecture is an innovative architectural concept that emphasizes the use of natural, locally-sourced materials, such as twigs, branches, leaves, and grasses, to create human nests or shelters. Inspired by the intricate structures of bird nests, twigitecture represents a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to conventional building methods. The approach integrates environmental harmony and creativity, offering unique and functional designs that blend seamlessly with nature. This paper explores the principles behind twigitecture, its benefits, and its potential applications in sustainable architecture. Through the examination of notable practitioners like Patrick Dougherty, Roald Gunderson, Simon Velez, and Neri Oxman, the paper highlights the evolving role of natural materials in contemporary design. Additionally, twigitecture is explored as a viable solution for temporary housing and disaster relief, thanks to its recyclability and minimal environmental impact. As global environmental challenges increase, twigitecture may offer an innovative pathway to sustainable architecture that redefines our relationship with the natural world.

The relationship between genetics and cognition in an older population
Creators: name: Nolidin, Karen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Healthy ageing is an important area of research due to the increasing number of elderly citizens in most Western societies. Unfortunately, age is associated with declining mental abilities, so research that identifies biological mechanisms that could help us preserve cognition with increasing age is vital. One marker of biological ageing is Reactive Oxygen Species which causes oxidative stress. This thesis found relationships between oxidative stress-related genetic factors and cognition in healthy older adults. These results are important because they directly lead to interventions which may reduce oxidative stress in the brain and improve cognitive health in the elderly.

description: Newly established ponds, which are highly dynamic systems with changing levels of biological interactions among species, are common larval mosquito habitats. We investigated the impact of crustacean abundance and taxa diversity on mosquito oviposition and larval development. The effects of the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) on mosquito larvae were monitored according to fluctuations in crustacean communities. Populations of the mosquito Culex pipiens colonized artificial ponds that contained crustacean communities at different time points of colonization by crustaceans: 1) ´no colonization (no crustaceans), 2) ´simultaneous colonization by crustaceans and mosquitoes, and 3) ´head-start colonization by crustaceans (preceding colonization by mosquitoes). All types of ponds were treated with three concentrations of Bti (10, 100, or 1,000 Ţg/liter). Colonization of all ponds by Cx. pipiens (in terms of oviposition, larval abundance, and larval development) decreased significantly with increasing diversity of crustacean taxa. The total abundance of crustaceans had a minor effect on colonization by Cx. pipiens. The presence of crustaceans increased the sensitivity of Cx. pipiens larvae to Bti treatment by a factor of 10 and delayed the time of recolonization. This effect of Bti was relevant in the short term. In the long term, the presence of Cx. pipiens was determined by crustacean biodiversity.Quelle: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com

description: Heterolobose amoebae are important members of marine, freshwater, and soil microbial communities, but their diversity remains under-explored. We studied the diversity of Vahlkampfiidae to improve our understanding of heterolobosean relationships and their representation in aquatic benthos. Using light and electron microscopy, and molecular phylogenies based on the SSU rRNA and ITS loci, we describe the fine morphology and evolutionary relationships of a new heterolobosean Parafumarolamoeba stagnalis n. sp. from a small pond in European Russia. Cells of P. stagnalis possess a clearly distinguishable anterior hyaline pseudopodium, eruptive movement, several thin and sometimes branched uroidal filaments, spherical cysts without pores and plugs, and mitochondria that have discoid cristae and are surrounded by cisternae of the endoplasmic reticulum. The genus Parafumarolamoeba has so far included a single species, Parafumarolamoeba alta from high-altitude soil in Tibet, which is morphologically distinct from P. stagnalis. Taxonomic description for a new Parafumarolamoeba species is therefore provided.

description: Correlated electron systems often show strong bosonic fluctuations, e.g., of antiferromagnetic nature, around a large wave vector such as $\mathbf{q}=(π,π\ldots)$. These fluctuations can give rise to vertex corrections to the optical conductivity through the (transversal) particle-hole channel, coined $π$-ton contributions. Previous numerical results differed qualitatively on how such vertex corrections alter the optical conductivity. Here, we clarify that $π$-ton vertex corrections lead to a displaced Drude peak for correlated metals. The proximity and enhancement of the effect when approaching a phase transition of, e.g., antiferromagnetic nature can be utilized for discriminating $π$-tons in experiments from other physics leading to a displaced Drude peak.

description: The Marmarini inscription was written on a large orthographic stone stele dating to the middle of the 2nd c. BC (probably the first half rather than the second half of the century) on palaeographic grounds. The site of its original location (a sanctuary) is unknown as the stele was looted and dumped on the side of the road in the area of Marmarini to the northeast of Larissa in Thessaly, Greece. The inscription details the rites and regulations for behaviour at the sanctuary in which the stele was erected. The inscription provides details concerning the sanctuary, as well as a festival to an unnamed goddess. The text provides information concerning a festival to an unnamed goddess, with other subsidiary deities such as Artemis Phylake. The cult described by the inscription seems to have had a lot of Near Eastern features (names of calendar months, proscription against pork, rituals from Near Eastern traditions, etc.). The stone stele was found in 2002 and the text and translation of the inscription has only recently been published (2015).

description: Fusarium wilt and gummosis disease is a major concern in Subabul plantations, resulting in quantitative and qualitative wood losses to the paper and pulp industry. Growers currently rely on agrochemicals, which are not environmentally safe. Therefore, developing a sustainable control strategy employing biocontrol agents is necessary. For this, the investigation was performed to identify native Trichoderma strains from Subabul rhizospheric soil having antagonistic, disease control efficiency, and PGPR attributes. Six antagonistic Trichoderma (TR1 to TR6) strains were isolated and their efficacy was tested against Fusarium in-vitro by dual plate technique and volatile metabolites. Among these, Trichoderma strains TR1 and TR2 were found efficient in counteracting the growth of F. equiseti (70–90% inhibition) compared to control. The effectiveness was primarily attributed to the increased production of volatile metabolites, siderophores, and the ability to solubilise the nutrients (P and K). Further, six potent Trichoderma strains were identified as T. asperellum (TR1, TR2, TR3, TR6), and T. hamatum (TR4, TR5) through rDNA ITS gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. These isolates were mass-multiplied, formulated using Talc powder followed by bio-priming in rooting media. The application of Trichoderma into rooting media reduced the wilt disease caused by artificial inoculation of F. equiseti. Further, TR1 and TR2 were found promising with conferred protection against wilt, enhanced survival rate (10–15%), and improved growth compared to untreated control. Application of adapted TR1 and TR2 antagonists in rooting media during clonal multiplication has the potential wilt control efficiency, enhanced survival rate, and plant growth promotion in Subabul.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Directivity is observed in the near-field regime, where there are a few strong-motion records. Depending on the pulse period of directivity, pulse-like ground motion caused by directivity can cause severe damage to structures. Earthquake simulations are used to simulate time histories on racetracks where the rupture distance of receivers remains constant regardless of the location of the earthquake hypocenter. Choosing a vertical strike-slip fault, a bilateral, a unilateral and a couple of intermediate levels scenarios are simulated on multiple tracks. The ground motion is synthesized to understand the response of structures ranging from single degree of freedom approximations to bridge models.

description: Background Increasingly, it is argued that clinical trials struggle to recruit participants because they do not respond to key questions or study treatments that patients will be willing or able to use. This study explores how elicitation of patient-preferences can help designers of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) understand the impact of changing modifiable aspects of treatments or trial design on recruitment. Methods Focus groups and a discrete choice experiment (DCE) survey were used to elicit preferences of people with scleroderma for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) treatment interventions. Preferences for seven attributes of treatment (effectiveness, immediate and long-term risk, care team composition and experience, cost, travel distance) were estimated using a mixed-logit model and used to predict participation in RCTs. Results Two hundred seventy-eight people with scleroderma answered the survey. All AHSCT treatment attributes significantly influenced preferences. Treatment effectiveness and risk of late complications contributed the most to participants’ choices, but modifiable factors of distance to treatment center and cost also affected preferences. Predicted recruitment rates calibrated with participation in a recent trial (33%) and suggest offering a treatment closer to home, at lower patient cost, and with holistic, multidisciplinary care could increase participation to 51%. Conclusions Through a patient engaged approach to preference elicitation for different features of AHSCT treatment options, we were able to predict what drives the decisions of people with scleroderma to participate in RCTs. Knowledge regarding concerns and the trade-offs people are willing to make can inform clinical study design, improving recruitment rates and potential uptake of the treatment of interest.

Adversity is always present in every individual's life. In the process, it will either break us or strengthen us. In other words Adversity means a situation of hardship, or misfortune, as well as an unfortunate incident or event. It is a component of life's sharp edge. It could either refine or crush a person down. What people do with the challenges that come their path will determine the effect and outcome. The Main objective of the study is to analyse the Opinion of IT Employees towards Adversity Quotient with special reference to Hyderabad. Both Primary and Secondary data has been used for the study. The primary data were collected from IT Employees with the sample size for 514. Proportionate sampling method has been used for the study since the population is known. Tools used for the analysis is descriptive statistics, chi square analysis and correspondence analysis and Means score analysis. The findings of the study shows that the high means score variables given by employees are highly opinion about that I am responsible and accountable for all the decisions taken by me at work.

description: We show that the square of Carnot-Carathéodory distance from the origin, in step 2 Carnot groups, enjoys the horizontal semiconcavity (h-semiconcavity) everywhere in the group including the origin. We first give a proof in the case of ideal Carnot groups, based on the simple group structure as well as estimates for the Euclidean semiconcavity. Our proof of the general result involves more geometric properties of step 2 Carnot groups. We further apply our h-semiconcavity result to show h-semiconcavity of the viscosity solutions to a class of non-coercive evolutive Hamilton-Jacobi equations by using the Hopf-Lax formula associated to the Carnot-Carathéodory metric.

description: A library is a super repository of digital and physical data archives, which is organized by metadata. This metadata however, maybe distributed across various databases due to, for example, topical or typical grouping. To provide a unified view or overview of all resources, the metadata needs to be aggregated, normalized, and potentially interconnected. DatAasee is such a metadata aggregator based on a metadata-lake architecture: Metadata records are ingested from upstream (meta)data sources specified by protocol-format combinations, partially transformed, indexed, and connected to related metadata while their original formatting remains available. The resulting normalized metadata can then be queried by downstream services or clients. With this self-hostable open-source service, we aim to contribute an overarching metadata-layer that makes repositories and thus libraries more FAIR.

description: Nowadays mini-implant overdenture is widely used as a substitution for the conventional two-implant overdenture. More studies and assessments are needed to confirm this replacement. Thus, fourteen male patients were selected then categorized randomly into two groups. The first group received seven mandibular mini-implant overdentures retained by four single piece mini-implants. The second group received seven mandibular overdenture retained by two conventional size implant assembled with ball attachment. All patients were scheduled for recall visits at time of loading, six months and twelve months to measure marginal bone height, probing depth and gingival index. At six month, the first group showed higher mean values of both marginal bone height (0.758± 0.141mm) and probing depth (2.297± 0.198mm) than the second group with statistically significant difference at p<0.05. At twelve month, the first group showed higher mean value also for marginal bone height (2.938± 0.176mm) with statistically significant difference at p<0.05. The mean value of the pocket depth of the first group (2.896± 0.140 mm) was higher than the second group with no statistical significance. Gingival index results showed a slight change between the two groups with no statistically significant difference. Although mini-implant overdenture is a successful treatment option for completely edentulous patients, the conventional two-implant overdenture showed advantageous radiographic and clinical outcomes.

description: Background Globally, over 1.2 million people die from chronic kidney disease (CKD) every year. Patients with CKD are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than progress to kidney failure requiring kidney replacement therapy. The burden of symptoms and impaired quality of life in CKD may be compounded by comorbidities and treatment side effects. However, patient-important outcomes remain inconsistently and infrequently reported in trials in patients with CKD, which can limit evidence-informed decision-making. The Standardised Outcomes in Nephrology – Chronic Kidney Disease (SONG-CKD) aims to establish a consensus-based core outcome set for trials in patients with CKD not yet requiring kidney replacement therapy to ensure outcomes of relevance to patients, caregivers and health professionals are consistently reported in trials. Methods SONG-CKD involves four phases: a systematic review to identify outcomes (domains and measures) that have been reported in randomised controlled trials involving adults with CKD who do not require kidney replacement therapy; stakeholder key informant interviews with health professionals involved in the care of adults with CKD to ascertain their views on establishing core outcomes in CKD; an international two-round online Delphi survey with patients, caregivers, clinicians, researchers, policy makers and industry representatives to obtain consensus on critically important outcome domains; and stakeholder consensus workshops to review and finalise the set of core outcome domains for trials in CKD. Discussion Establishing a core outcome set to be reported in trials in patients with CKD will enhance the relevance, transparency and impact of research to improve the lives of people with CKD. Trial registration Not applicable. This study is registered with the Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials (COMET) database: http://www.comet-initiative.org/Studies/Details/1653 .

Anomaly of the angular parameter of the Lorentz factor for low-mass particles at very high energy in special relativity.
Creators: name: DUPLAN, Christophe

Year: 2024

description: Abstract

This study investigates the potential for Planck scales to impact causality for light particles at very high energies. Utilizing a fractal approach to space-time, new dynamics for the fabric of space-time are proposed, impacting special relativity. Our findings indicate a convergence of physical constants at the Planck scale, suggesting significant implications for quantum gravity and unified field theories.Key Findings:1. Fractal Self-Similarity: The iterative expression of physical constants like ℏ, G, and c reveals that sequences tend towards zero, highlighting a bounded, compact structure indicative of fractal self-similarity.2. Vacuum Permittivity: A fractal approach to vacuum permittivity demonstrates that the fine structure constant α can be defined in a theoretical framework, potentially linking electromagnetic and gravitational interactions.3. Light Cone Anomaly: At very high energies, light particles exhibit anomalies that suggest the existence of a secondary causality limit distinct from the speed of light c, possibly implying new physics.4. Cosmological Implications: The properties of the vacuum at the Planck scale could provide new insights into cosmic inflation, the Big Bang, dark matter, and dark energy.Methodology:An iterative, self-similar approach was applied to Planck-scale spacetime using fundamental axioms and assumptions. The fundamental spacetime metric and zero-point energy Ω were considered as unified elements within a Planck space, facilitating a recursive process characteristic of fractals.Results:- Analysis of Planck-scale properties supports the notion of a compact fractal structure, with implications for both quantum gravity and unified field theories.- A requalification of the Planck length from a simple space-time limit to a granular fractal structure reveals an anomaly in high-energy light particles, suggesting a secondary causality limit.- The study extends to cosmological scales, proposing that Planck-scale vacuum properties might influence cosmic inflation and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.Discussion:The findings suggest that Planck scales could act as a gateway to new physics, potentially impacting formulations of quantum gravity and theories attempting to unify fundamental forces. The study also proposes that space-time at the Planck scale might exhibit tiling properties, challenging traditional understandings of the uncertainty principle and offering a fresh perspective on space-time geometry.Conclusion:The study’s exploration of Planck-scale properties opens new avenues for research into quantum gravity and unified field theories. The proposed fractal nature of space-time at these scales may revolutionize our understanding of fundamental physics and cosmology.Keywords:Planck scales, causality, light particles, special relativity, quantum gravity, fractal space-time, cosmology, dark matter, dark energy.

description: Over the past decade, the importance of the 1D signature which can be seen as a functional defined along a path, has been pivotal in both path-wise stochastic calculus and the analysis of time series data. By considering an image as a two-parameter function that takes values in a $d$-dimensional space, we introduce an extension of the path signature to images. We address numerous challenges associated with this extension and demonstrate that the 2D signature satisfies a version of Chen's relation in addition to a shuffle-type product. Furthermore, we show that specific variations of the 2D signature can be recursively defined, thereby satisfying an integral-type equation. We analyze the properties of the proposed signature, such as continuity, invariance to stretching, translation and rotation of the underlying image. Additionally, we establish that the proposed 2D signature over an image satisfies a universal approximation property.

description: Electron-correlation-driven phonon soft modes have been recently reported in the antiferromagnetic kagome FeGe compound and associated with the observed charge density wave (CDW). In this paper, we present a systematic investigation of the CDW origin in the context of the ab initio lattice dynamics study. Performing the group theory analysis of the mentioned soft mode, we found that the stable structure has the Immm symmetry and can be achieved by shifts of Ge atoms. Additionally, we show that the final structure realizes a distorted honeycomb Ge lattice as well as a non-flat kagome-like Fe net. For completeness, we present the electronic properties calculations. From the theoretical STM topography simulation, we indicate that the observed CDW occurs in the deformed honeycomb Ge sublattice.
