description: The Yili porphyry-type molybdenum deposit is located in the Northeastern Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Mineralization occurs mainly as veins, lenses, and layers within the host porphyry. In order to better understand the link between mineralization and host igneous rocks, we studied samples from underground workings. We report new Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe II (SHRIMP II) zircon U–Pb and Re–Os molybdenite ages and geochemical data from the Yili granitoids. Five molybdenite samples yield a Re–Os isochron weighted mean age of 131.1 ± 3.4 Ma, while two Early Cretaceous adakitic porphyry granite samples yielded crystallization ages of 128.1 ± 1.6 Ma and 129.0 ± 3.5 Ma. The U–Pb and Re–Os ages are analytically indistinguishable, suggesting that mineralization was genetically related to Early Cretaceous magmatism in northeastern China. δ34SV-CDT values of the sulphide vary from 0.3‰ to 3.8‰. We obtained two weighted mean U–Pb zircon ages of 287.7 ± 1.8 Ma for early Permian fine-grained granite and 349.8 ± 2.3 Ma for Early Carboniferous monzogranite in Yili area, respectively. A synthesis of geochronological and geological data reveals that porphyry emplacement and Mo mineralization in the Yili deposit occurred at the same time as Early Cretaceous lithospheric thinning, which was caused by the delamination and subsequent upwelling of the asthenosphere under the intra-continental extension in northeastern China.

description: Two metal organic frameworks (MOFs), {[M(H2BPDC)(SO4)]}n (M = Mn (1), Zn (2)); BPDC = 2,2’-bipyridine-5,5’-dicarboxylic anion), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. The structure analyses of 1 and 2 reveal that the two compounds have similar 3D structures. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system with space group Pnma, while 2 displays a monoclinic system with space group P21/n. Magnetic investigation suggests that weak antiferromagnetic coupling exists between adjacent Mn2+ ions in 1.

description: Tetranuclear zinc(II) citrates with N-heterocycle ligand, [Zn4(Hcit)2(phen)4(H2O)4]·2NO3·10H2O (1) and [Zn4(Hcit)2(bpy)4(H2O)6]·2NO3·12H2O (2) (H4cit = citric acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine), were synthesized from aqueous solution and characterized by IR, PXRD, fluorescence spectra and X-ray structural analyses. 1 and 2 are centrosymmetric tetranuclear species with two crystallographically independent Zn(II) ions, which display different coordination geometries, while the citrate ligand shows similar coordination modes and bridges three different Zn ions. In 1, the Zn1 is five-coordinate by three oxygens from two citrates and two nitrogens from phen. There exist weak interactions between Zn1 and O4a atom of β-carboxy group of citrate (Zn1∙∙∙O4a = 2.895 Å). Zn2 is six-coordinate by two oxygens from one citrate, two nitrogens from phen, and two water molecules. Zn1 and Zn2 are bridged by one citrate to form a dinuclear unit, which is further extended to a tetranuclear unit. In 2, two citrates bridge two pairs of symmetry-related Zn(II) ions into a tetranuclear unit. The structural analyses of 1 and 2 indicate that different tetranuclear species are caused by arrangement of citrates with different steric hindrance of N-chelates. 1H and 13C NMR spectra indicate that 2 remains coordinated in D2O. Moreover, both 1 and 2 show strong fluorescent emission in dilute solution and solid state.

description: The pseudo-tetrahedral complexes [CuL2]PF6⋅7H2O⋅CH3OH (1) and [AgL2]CF3SO3⋅H2O (2) (L = 3,3’-bis(2-benzimidazolyl)-2,2’-bipyridine) have been synthesized and characterized through crystal structure analyses, electrochemistry, and spectroscopic methods. X-ray structural analyses of 1 and 2 indicate that sterically constrained N4 ligands L are cis and behave as bidentate chelates to a single metal ion in a pseudo-tetrahedral fashion through the benzimidazole. As two benzimidazolyl rings exhibit considerable steric hindrance, the bipyridine unit of L remains uncoordinated. The pseudo-tetrahedral cation [CuL2]+ shows a quasi-reversible CuI/CuII oxidation-reduction wave in the CV in DMF (counter-ion PF6-). The fluorescence titration of L with copper(I), silver(I) and also with pH have been conducted to examine the selectivity. The ligand shows remarkably high selectivity and sensitivity for Ag(I).

Gleichstellung

description: Die Erwerbstätigenquote von Frauen in Deutschland ist mit knapp 78 Prozent im europäischen Vergleich eine der
höchsten. Da jedoch fast die Hälfte aller 20- bis 64-jährigen Frauen (48 Prozent) in Teilzeit arbeitet, ist ihre tatsächliche Erwerbsstundenzahl vergleichsweise gering. Dabei sind Frauen häufig hochqualifiziert und würden auch gerne mehr arbeiten – wenn die Rahmenbedingungen dafür besser wären. Angesichts dieses ungenutzten Potenzials ist es sowohl aus gleichstellungspolitischer als auch wirtschaftlicher Perspektive von höchster Relevanz, die Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen zu erhöhen.
Gerade in Zeiten eines beschleunigten Strukturwandels sowie zunehmenden Fachkräftemangels braucht es differenzierte Maßnahmen, um die Frauenerwerbstätigkeit zu stärken. Eine höhere Erwerbsbeteiligung von Frauen kann nicht nur helfen, Diskriminierung am Arbeitsmarkt zu mindern, sondern trägt auch zur Fachkräftesicherung und zu wirtschaftlichem Wohlstand bei. Gleichzeitig können sich Frauen beruflich freier und umfassender entwickeln, sind finanziell unabhängiger und beugen mit einem existenzsichernden Erwerbseinkommen der Armut im Alter vor.

description: In Josephson diodes the asymmetry between positive and negative current branch of the current-phase relation leads to a polarity-dependent critical current and Josephson inductance. The supercurrent nonreciprocity can be described as a consequence of the anomalous Josephson effect -- a φ0-shift of the current-phase relation -- in multichannel ballistic junctions with strong spin-orbit interaction. In this work, we simultaneously investigate φ0-shift and supercurrent diode efficiency on the same Josephson junction by means of a superconducting quantum interferometer. By electrostatic gating, we reveal a direct link between φ0-shift and diode effect. Our findings show that the supercurrent diode effect mainly results from magnetochiral anisotropy induced by spin-orbit interaction in combination with a Zeeman field.

description: Endemic (small-ranged) species are distributed non-randomly across the globe. Regions of high topography and stable climates have higher endemism than flat, climatically unstable regions. However, it is unclear how these environmental conditions interact with and filter mammalian traits. Here, we characterize the functional traits of highly endemic mammalian assemblages in multiple ways, testing the hypothesis that these assemblages are trait-filtered (less functionally diverse) and dominated by species with traits associated with small range sizes. Compiling trait data for greater than 5000 mammal species, we calculated assemblage means and multidimensional functional metrics to evaluate the distribution of traits across each assemblage. We then related these metrics to the endemism of global WWF ecoregions using linear models and phylogenetic fourth-corner regression. Highly endemic mammalian assemblages had small average body masses, low fecundity, short lifespans and specialized habitats. These traits relate to the stable climate and rough topography of endemism hotspots and to mammals' ability to expand their ranges, suggesting that the environmental conditions of endemism hotspots allowed their survival. Furthermore, species living in endemism hotspots clustered near the edges of their communities’ functional spaces, indicating that abiotic trait filtering and biotic interactions act in tandem to shape these communities.

description: The essential oils (EOs) of Artemisia herba alba, Rutachalepensis and Satureja calamintha aerial parts were analysed by GC/MS and the EOs were tested for their toxicity against two flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum and Tribolium confusum. EO composition showed that the major compounds were pulegone, menthone and menthol for S. calamintha, camphor and β-thujone for A. herba alba and 2-undecanone for R. chalepensis. Contact bioassay showed that all EOs were toxic to adults of T. castaneum and T. confusum. Higher toxicity was found with the EOs from S. calamintha and R. chalepensis (LD50 of 0.09–0.13 μL/cm2 and LD90 of 0.17–0.29 μL/cm2). In fumigant toxicity test, A. herba alba and S. calamintha EOs produced insecticidal activity with S. calamintha EO being more toxic with LD50 and LD90 values of 10.5 and 19.1 μL/L air, respectively, for T. confusum against 7.8 and 17.4 μL/L air, respectively, for T. castaneum.

description: An integrated review of existing geological and geophysical data – partly acquired during oil and gas exploration – combined with new data provided by deep geothermal studies of selected key areas, was used for the 3D modeling and mapping of the top of the geothermal reservoir developed at a regional scale in Sicily (Central Mediterranean). The resulting 1:500,000 scale map covers the area of the whole Sicily (about 25,700 km2) and is devoted to represent the main input for both the thermal modeling and the evaluation of geothermal potential at a regional scale. As the map indicates the distribution at depth of a likely target for geothermal drilling, it can be also used as a rough indicator of expected drilling cost for geothermal projects. Such a map can be seen as a useful planning tool for any geothermal project, and related exploration to be carried out in the Sicily region in the future.

description: We present an application of a multivariate analyses technique on data returned by the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS) instrument on board the ESA's Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft in order to separate the atmospheric contribution from the observed radiation. We observe that Thermal/Far Infrared spectra returned from Mars, covering almost a whole martian year, can be represented by a linear model using a limited set of end-member spectra. We identify the end-members as the suspended mineral dust and water ice clouds, but no surface signature was found. We improve previous studies performed with data from the Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) thanks to the higher spectral resolution of PFS. This allows for distinguishing narrow gaseous bands present in the martian atmosphere. Furthermore, the comparison of results from PFS and TES with data collected in 1971 by the Mariner 9 Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) shows an atmospheric dust component with similar spectral behavior. This might indicate homogeneity of the dust source regions over a time period of more than 30 years.

description: Objective: As fatalities from car crashes decrease, focus on medical impairment following car crashes becomes more essential. This study assessed the risk of permanent medical impairment based on car occupant injuries. The aim was to study whether the risk of permanent medical impairment differs depending on age and gender.Methods: In total, 36,744 injured occupants in car crashes that occurred between 1995 and 2010 were included. All initial injuries (n = 61,440) were classified according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 2005. If a car occupant still had residual symptoms 3 years after a crash, the case was classed as a permanent medical impairment. In total, 5,144 injuries led to permanent medical impairment. The data were divided into different groups according to age and gender as well as levels of permanent impairment. The risk of permanent medical impairment was established for different body regions and injury severity levels, according to the AIS.Results: The cervical spine was the body region that had the highest number of diagnoses, and occupants who sustained injuries to the upper and lower extremities had the highest risk of medical impairment for both genders. Females aged 60 and above had a higher risk of permanent medical impairment from fractures in the extremities compared to males in the same age group and younger females. Females aged 44 or younger had a higher risk of permanent medical impairment from whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) than males in the same age group. Minor and moderate injuries (AIS 1–2) had a higher risk of permanent medical impairment among older car occupants compared to younger ones.Conclusions: Differences in long-term outcome were dependent on both gender and age. Differences between age groups were generally greater than between genders. The vast majority of permanent medical impairments resulted from diagnoses with a low risk of fatality. The results emphasize the impact of age and gender in long-term consequences from car crashes. They could be used when designing safety technology in cars as well as to improve health care by contributing to better allocation of rehabilitation resources following trauma.

description: In this thesis investigated the basic conceptions of theorisation of geography. The author has shown that one of the major problems standing in the way of creating a geographical theory is to develop a methodological foundation, which would be an adequate to content of geographical science. The study proved the possibility of creating a general geographical theory based on principles of global (universal) evolutionism. Global evolutionism, as the foundation of the modern scientific worldview, shapes ideas about global (universal) evolution, the general laws of development of self-organizing material systems of different nature.

description: The narrative surrounding cryptocurrency in Nigeria is undergoing a significant transformation, reflecting a broader global shift towards the acceptance and integration of digital currencies within financial systems. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has evolved from a cautious stance to a more embracing approach, highlighted by the introduction of the eNaira, Nigeria's digital currency, aimed at modernizing the financial ecosystem, enhancing financial inclusivity, and stabilizing the economy. Despite initial regulatory challenges concerning security and compliance, the CBN's progressive policies, including the encouragement of cryptocurrency literacy and the development of supportive frameworks for crypto transactions, signal a future where digital currencies play a crucial role in Nigeria's economic landscape. This shift towards digital currency adoption, underscored by the eNaira's success and the call for continuous collaboration among stakeholders, represents an optimistic outlook for the integration of innovative financial technologies to address longstanding economic challenges and leverage opportunities for growth and stability.

description: Reproducible research is a growing movement among scientists, but the tools for creating sustainable software to support the computational side of research are still in their infancy and are typically only being used by scientists with expertise in com- puter programming and system administration. Docker is a new platform developed for the DevOps community that enables the easy creation and management of consistent computational environments. This article describes how we have applied it to computational science and suggests that it could be a powerful tool for reproducible research.

description: NSF's Software Infrastructure for Sustained Innovation funds the development of community software in support of scientific computing innovation. A requirement is that the developed software be sustainable. Design-by-Transformation (DxT) is an approach to software development that views libraries not as instantiated in code, but as expert knowledge that is combined with knowledge about a target architecture by a tool (DxTer) that synthesizes the library implementation. We argue that this approach makes libraries to some degree forward compatible in that a (disruptive) new architectural advance can be accommodated by encoding knowledge about that architecture. This is particularly important when bugs are not correctness bugs, but instead performance bugs that affect how fast an answer is obtained and/or how much energy is consumed to compute the answer. DxT allows a human expert to focus on developing the primitives from which libraries are constructed and new insights as opposed to the rote application of known ideas to entire libraries. We summarize our success in the domain of dense linear algebra as evidence of DxT's potential.

description: The mechanisms of gas-phase thermal decomposition of alkyl-substituted cyclohexadienes were studied by the means of quantum chemical calculations with theory levels Møller-Plesset pertubation theory (MP2) and density functional theory (DFT) (B3LYP, MPW1PW91, PBEPBE, ωB97XD, CAM-B3LYP, M06, and M062X) with 6-31G(d,p), 6-31++G(d,p) basis sets. The examination of the reaction pathways of each substrate demonstrated a molecular mechanism through six-membered cyclic boat-like transition state (TS) structure. An alkyl group substituent causes a detrimental effect on the reaction rate, compared to the parent compound 1,4-cyclohexadiene; however, the reaction was favoured in the case of 3,6-dimethyl substitution. The 3,6-dimethyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene compound has activation energy 11.2 kJ/mol lower than the reference compound, which overcomes the effect of the most negative entropy of activation in the series. The effects of alkyl substituents in these reactions suggest a complex combination of electronic and steric influence. These reactions are characterised as highly synchronous concerted, with small predominance of C–H bond breaking in the TS.

description: The Government of Ghana has taken various steps and initiative to provide speedy and quality services to Ghanaians through e-governance but in our legalistic societies, the success of e-governance depends of the availability of legal frameworks and policies. The objective of the study to review and understand the various legal policies and framework that support e-governance in Ghana as well as the challenges of implementing e-governance initiatives. To satisfy the objectives, secondary data were retrieved, reviewed and used for the study. The findings of the study indicate that several polices and frameworks support e-governance in Ghana but their implementations are burdened with social, cultural, political and legal constraints. The study provides some recommendation that are necessary to tackle the challenges of e-governance implementation.

description: Error-free chromosome segregation is crucial for the maintenance of genomic stability and prevention of tumorigenesis. The spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) prevents exit from mitosis as long as not all chromosome pairs are properly attached to the mitotic spindle. Microtubules attach to chromosomes through binding at the kinetochore, a multi-protein structure that is organized over centromeric chromatin. The kinetochore plays an important role in the generation of the SAC signal that prevent mitotic exit while at the same time it is involved in chromosome movements during congression and segregation. The work reported in this thesis aims to further our understanding on how the combination of such functions ensures faithful chromosome segregation. The first part focuses on the phenotypic analysis of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells depleted of the SAC protein BubR1 and the microtubule motor protein CENP-meta/CENP-E. The results show that while BubR1-depleted cells exit mitosis prematurely due to loss of SAC activity, CENPmeta- depleted cells are delayed in mitosis. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of microtubule-kinetochore interactions after depletion of BubR1 or CENP-meta clearly shows that without BubR1 cells contain a high frequency of monoriented and fully unattached chromosomes while most CENP-meta-depleted cells have chromosomes attached to spindle microtubules. Moreover, when both proteins are simultaneously depleted absence of CENP-meta is able to partly rescue microtubule-kinetochore attachments lost due to BubR1 depletion. The data shows that BubR1 is required to promote stable microtubule-kinetochore attachment. However, CENP-E appears to promote kinetochore-microtubule instability, suggesting a role of CENP-E in the mechanism that corrects inappropriate kinetochore attachment. Accordingly, the second part of the thesis concentrates in determining whether CENP-E and Aurora B kinase activities cooperate to promote efficient chromosome biorientation. The results, obtained in HeLa cells, do not support a regulation of Aurora B kinase activity by CENP-E. However, strongly suggest that Aurora B kinase destabilizes spindle pole proximal kinetochore-microtubule interactions keeping the SAC active to allow CENP-E-mediated congression of monoriented chromosomes. Taken together, the work presented in this thesis, through the study of two bona fide kinetochore proteins, provides insight in how chromosomes congress and how can they delay mitotic exit when errors occur thus avoiding aneuploidy.

description: ABSTRACT This study deals with understanding the concept of NPAs, its magnitude and major causes for an account becoming non-performing, projection with special reference to DCC Banks. In conclusion, on the basis of information available from secondary sources i.e., the present financial schemes offered by Finance Ministry, Government of India, RBI, NABARD, Books and Journals, etc., I was observed that most of the loans became NPAs in DCC banks. This poses a severe threat to the profitability, liquidity, and solvency position of DCC banks. In the context of global competition, it is a paramount task for the banks to manage their NPAs more efficiently.

description: Development of microfluidic devices for automated cell culture and integrated experiments offers a valuable evolution of biological laboratory practice. The strengths of 3D printing – versatile fabrication, low-cost and ease of use – provide a solution to difficulties in the fabrication of complex single and multi-layer devices. This work assesses the ability of a desktop W2P SolFlex350 resin printer to produce sub-200µm features necessary to replicate device designs currently created using traditional photolithography and multi-layer soft lithography. It is shown that features required for sub-200µm channel production are not viable using this 3D printer, but there is scope for further development of micro and milli-fluidics using desktop 3D printing. 3D printing to remove the need for layer-bonding in complex fluidic devices would enable increased complexity of device design. The possibility of using this to incorporate Raman spectroscopy as a non-invasive, label-free cell sorting mechanism in a continuous microfluidic cell culture device (chemostat) is explored both by assessing the capabilities of the 3D printer, and by evaluating the signal strength of fluorine-carbon bonds as a potential natural marker for Raman-based directed evolution. Organofluorine compounds were shown to produce detectable signals in aqueous solution but further research is necessary to enable detection at rates suitable for this type of device.

description: Breast cancer brain metastasis (BrM) is indicative of poor prognosis, with a short median survival time and limited disease management strategies. Current treatment options are restricted to surgical resection, radiation therapy and limited targeted therapies. Therefore, there is an urgent need to uncover alterations responsible for BrM and to define novel effective therapeutic targets. RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed to analyse gene expression differences between patient-matched breast tumours and their associated resected BrM. Importantly, common transcriptional differences in breast cancer specific genes were observed, particularly BrM–acquired aberrant enrichment in multiple receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) driven signalling pathways. The most notable recurrent alterations were expression gains in RET and HER2. Hence, given the observed enriched kinase landscape these alterations were investigated as clinically actionable therapeutic targets in BrM. To evaluate the effect of RET and HER2 inhibition in a preclinical setting, the efficacy of two FDA-approved agents were examined; a RET inhibitor, cabozantinib, and a pan-HER inhibitor, afatinib. Being small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), both drugs have the potential of crossing the blood brain barrier (BBB). In vitro, both agents demonstrated a significant effect on the cellular viability and migratory capacity of brain-metastasising cell lines and primary cells derived from a patient brain metastasis tumour. Significant anti-tumour activity was also shown for anti-HER2 and anti-RET therapies in unique patient derived ex vivo and patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models developed from patients undergoing BrM resection. This study demonstrates profound and recurrent transcriptional remodelling events in BrM, which is critical to understanding the pathobiology of BrM. Furthermore, this work supports comprehensive profiling of metastasis as a compelling and underutilised tool to inform clinical care and reveal novel targeted treatment paradigms. Given the remarkably high recurrence rates of specific targetable alterations, further clinical investigations of recurrent aberrations are in demand, especially considering some are readily druggable.

description: Platelet aggregation is fundamental to a wide range of physiological and pathological processes, including the induction of thrombosis and arteriosclerosis. Anti-platelet activity of a crude methanol extract and solvent fractions of Ashitaba roots (Angelica keiskei Koidz.) was evaluated using a turbidimetric method using washed rabbit platelets. We identified the anti-platelet activities of two chalcones, 4-hydroxyderricin and xanthoangelol, isolated from the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction of Ashitaba roots by using a bioassay-guided isolation method. 4-Hydroxyderricin and xanthoangelol effectively inhibited platelet aggregation induced by collagen (IC50 of 41.9 and 35.9 μM, respectively), platelet-activating factor (IC50 of 46.1 and 42.3 μM, respectively) and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (IC50 of 16.5 and 45.9 μM, respectively). These compounds did not inhibit thrombin-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 of>80 μM). The results suggest that the chalcones 4-hydroxyderricin and xanthoangelol may be potent anti-thrombotic components of A. keiskei Koidz.
