Flos-aquae in Potable Waters : Laboratory Equivalents for Toxic Degradation
Creators: name: Garg, Rishabh
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014
Subjects: Coagulation, Chlorination, Filtration, Flocculation, Toxicity

description: Cyanophytes encompass an old subdivision of minuscule organisms, settled in a large variety of environments such as freshwaters, sea, oceans, rocks, soil and hot springs. In freshwaters, some are benthic, but many are found on the surface, floating at the mercy of winds and water currents. Under enriched conditions, these unicellular microscopic entities multiply profusely, amassed together and form scums [1-27]. On lysis, they produce toxins that are not easily inactivated by laboratory equivalents of water purification process viz. flocculation-filtration-chlorination treatment. Even activated carbon, in small doses, falls short to yield desirable results. However, vast amount of charcoal can do so. Besides, activated carbon filtration, in combination with ionization, has been found effectual in neutralizing toxins. As a rule, slow sand-filters are considered to be more dependable than high-speed filters in doing away with phytoplankton. Albeit, the slow filters do not take out color from water as some cyanophytes succeed in penetrating the filtration bed. Moreover, Microcystis aeruginosa, at the ultimate stages of bloom formation secretes substantial amount of organic compounds with polysaccharide base. This dross is seldom removed by conventional treatments like sand-filtration, Al2(SO4)3 coagulation, FeCl3 flocculation, sedimentation, etc. and much of it goes into the water supply, making the water obnoxious to users. Though toxic degradations are possible, yet the current state of practice seems insufficient to exterminate cent-per-cent algae from raw water entering the supply system. Although there is no way to deal with these nuisance microphytes, use of blue stone CuSO4 in chunk or granular form can be suggested as an algicide. However, the same cannot be used further than a certain limit and that too in a large basin. Obviously, ionization at the end of filtration may be a good permutation to get rid of plant organisms with their associated organoleptic properties.

description: Given the new direction of farm policy, farmers in the future will be less constrained in making their planting decisions. This paper shows how farmers respond to market signals in allocating flex acres. By examining the five years of data that exist, researchers will begin to understand how producers may react when planting for the market prices and not for government subsidies. The estimated elasticities are much higher than those found in other studies.

description: Even though human Campylobacter jejuni infections are progressively increasing worldwide, the underlying molecular mechanisms of pathogen-host-interactions are still not fully understood. We have recently shown that the secreted serine protease HtrA plays a key role in C. jejuni cellular invasion and transepithelial migration in vitro, and is involved in the onset of intestinal pathology in murine infection models in vivo. In the present study, we investigated whether the protease activity of HtrA had an impact in C. jejuni induced acute enterocolitis. For this purpose, we perorally infected secondary abiotic IL-10(-/-) mice with wildtype C. jejuni strain NCTC11168 (11168(WT))or isogenic bacteria carrying protease-inactive HtrA with a single point mutation at S197A in the active center (11168(HtrA-S197A)) Irrespective of the applied pathogenic strain, mice harbored similar C. jejuni loads in their feces and exhibited comparably severe macroscopic signs of acute enterocolitis at day 6 postinfection (p.i.). Interestingly, the 11168(HtrA-S197A) infected mice displayed less pronounced colonic apoptosis and immune cell responses, but enhanced epithelial proliferation as compared to the 11168(WT) strain infected controls. Furthermore, less distinct microscopic sequelae in 11168(HtrA-S197A) as compared to parental strain infected mice were accompanied by less distinct colonic secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as MCP-1, IL-6, TNF, and IFN-gamma in the former as compared to the latter. Strikingly, the S197A point mutation was additionally associated with less pronounced systemic pro-inflammatory immune responses as assessed in serum samples. In conclusion, HtrA is a remarkable novel virulence determinant of C. jejuni, whose protease activity is not required for intestinal colonization and establishment of disease, but aggravates campylobacteriosis by triggering apoptosis and pro-inflammatory immune responses.

description: Theoretical noise trader models suggest that uninformed traders can impact market prices. However, these models' conclusions depend on the assumed specification for noise trader demand. This research seeks to empirically determine the appropriate demand specification for uninformed traders. Using a commercial market sentiment index as a proxy for noise trader demand, a Granger causality model is estimated to examine the linear linkages between sentiment and futures returns. The results suggest that noise traders are positive feedback traders with relatively long memories.

 Conus lentiginosus Reeve, 1843: pl. 44, no. 245 (syntype, BMNH (29 x 16 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); locality unknown).
 Material examined: MBMCS 130, 16 specimens, SL 32–36 mm; SW 16–18 mm.
 Description. Shell moderately small to medium-sized, light to solid, glossy. Body whorl conical; outline convex at adapical two-thirds to three-fourths, straight or concave below; left side consistently sigmoid, right side almost straight. Shoulder angulate. Spire of moderate height, outline concave or sigmoid. Body whorl with axially striate spiral grooves on basal third, separated by ribs anteriorly and by ribbons posteriorly.
Ground colour white, variably tinged with violet. Body whorl with confluent brown axial flames, generally arranged in three spiral bands, below shoulder, near centre and within basal third. Spiral rows of brown dots and dashes extend from base to shoulder, varying in number and arrangement. Aperture white, tinged with violet deep within. Periostracum thin, brown, smooth and translucent.
 Distribution. The first record of this species from India was by Reeve (1843). Subsequent records (Abercrombie 1893; Melvill & Abercrombie 1893; Melvill & Standen 1901; Hornell & Tomlin 1951; Subrahmanyam et al. 1952) reported this species off Bombay (west coast). Along the east coast, Kohn (1978) referred to specimens in the AMNH and BMNH from the Gulf of Mannar and also reported one specimen of C. lentiginosus deposited in the ZSI as dredged off Vizhagapattinam.
The specimens described herein were collected from Keelakarai (Table 6) by trawling in 10–20 m and diving in 8–10 m and from Vembar (Table 6) by trawling in 10–30 m.
 Remarks. The restricted distribution of this species in the Gulf of Mannar and the particular abundance at Keelakarai (S-19) indicate that they probably prefer sandy bottoms and rock crevices similar to previous records from Vizhagapattinam. Kohn (1978) observed that specimens from east and west coasts are essentially similar except for the pinkish tan base found in the Gulf of Mannar. Such an exception was not observed in this study.

description: Influenza vaccination is a common approach to prevent seasonal and pandemic influenza. Pre-existing antibodies against close viral strains might impair antibody formation against previously unseen strains-a process called original antigenic sin. The role of this pre-existing cellular immunity in this process is, despite some hints from animal models, not clear. Here, we analyzed cellular and humoral immunity in healthy individuals before and after vaccination with seasonal influenza vaccine. Based on influenza-specific hemagglutination inhibiting (HI) titers, vaccinees were grouped into HI-negative and -positive cohorts followed by in-depth cytometric and TCR repertoire analysis. Both serological groups revealed cross-reactive T-cell memory to the vaccine strains at baseline that gave rise to the majority of vaccine-specific T-cells post vaccination. On the contrary, very limited number of vaccine-specific T-cell clones was recruited from the naive pool. Furthermore, baseline quantity of vaccine-specific central memory helper T-cells and clonotype richness of this population directly correlated with the vaccination efficacy. Our findings suggest that the deliberate recruitment of pre-existing cross-reactive cellular memory might help to improve vaccination outcome.

description: Several self-report studies together with analyses of exoneration cases suggest that suspects with mental disorder are especially prone to making false confessions. The present study asked 153 forensic patients in Germany about their behavior during suspect interviewing by the police. Self-reported ground truth of guilt and innocence was asked for, thereby taking into account that the risk of false confession is present only if a person has ever been interviewed when innocent. Indeed, surveying samples that include suspects who have never been interviewed when innocent may lead to underestimating the risk of false confessions. In the present study, all patients reported having been interviewed previously when guilty; and almost two-thirds (62%, n = 95), that they had also been interviewed at least once when innocent. These participants stated that they remained silent while being interviewed significantly more often when guilty (44%) compared to when innocent (15%). This corroborates laboratory research findings indicating that the right to remain silent is waived more often by innocent than by guilty suspects. Out of all 95 participants who were ever interviewed when innocent, 25% reported having made a false confession on at least one occasion. This result is in line with previous international research showing a high percentage of false confessions among suspects with mental disorder.

description: Open Wilson line operators and generalized star product have been studied extensively in noncommutative gauge theories. We show that they also show up in noncommutative scalar field theories as universal structures. We first point out that dipole picture of noncommutative geometry provides an intuitive argument for robustness of the open Wilson lines and generalized star products therein. We calculate one-loop effective action of noncommutative scalar field theory with cubic self-interaction and show explicitly that the generalized star products arise in the nonplanar part. It is shown that, at low-energy, large noncommutativity limit, the nonplanar part is expressible solely in terms of the {\sl scalar} open Wilson line operator and descendants.

description: The current $I$ through nickelocene molecules and its noise are measured with a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope on a Cu(100) substrate. Density functional theory calculations and many-body modeling are used to analyze the data. During contact formation, two types of current evolution are observed, an abrupt jump to contact and a smooth transition. These data along with conductance spectra ($dI/dV$) recorded deep in the contact range are interpreted in terms of a transition from a spin-1 to a spin-1/2 state that is Kondo screened. Many-body calculations show that the smooth transition is also consistent with a renormalization of spin excitations of a spin-1 molecule by Kondo exchange coupling. The shot noise is significantly reduced compared to the Schottky value of $2eI$ but no influence of the Kondo effect or spin excitations are resolved. The noise can be described in the Landauer picture in terms of spin-polarized transmission of $\approx$35% through two degenerate $d_π$-orbitals of the Nickelocene molecule.

 Material examined: MBMCS 131, 48 specimens, SL 60–147 mm; SW 32–90 mm.
 Description. Shell large and heavy. Body whorl usually conical, outline almost straight. Shoulder broad, angulate, and occasionally sub-angulate. Spire very low or flat, sometimes moderate height, outline slightly concave to slightly convex. Body whorl with weak spiral ribs above base, obsolete in larger specimens.
Ground colour white to cream, body whorl with spiral rows of rounded or squarish, reddish brown spots or sometimes short axial streaks from base to shoulder, these sometimes in alternating large and small series; shoulder and spire with many narrow revolving dark brown broader lines on white. Aperture relatively narrow, slightly wider anteriorly. Periostracum greenish-brown, smooth and very thick. Siphon ends with a black band on a white background.
 Distribution. The only report of C. leopardus from India is that of Röckel et al. (1995). The specimens from Gulf of Mannar (Table 6) were collected by trawling in 9 to 40 m and from lobster cages laid at depths of 3 to 5 m.
 Remarks. The restricted distribution of C. leopardus to the Gulf of Mannar agrees with earlier reports of its preference for vast subtidal stretches of sand and reef flats (Cernohorsky, 1964; Kohn & Nybakken 1975). We collected a large number of specimens from lobster cages at Vedhalai and Keelakarai. Fishermen engaged in diving and lobster fishing reported the occurrence of C. leopardus within the rocky crevices.

description: Sprouting angiogenesis is a necessary process in regeneration and development as well as in tumorigenesis. VEGF-A is the main pro-angiogenic chemoattractant and it can bind to the decoy receptor VEGFR1 or to VEGFR2 to induce sprouting. Active sprout cells express Dll4, which binds to Notch1 on neighboring cells, in turn inhibiting VEGFR2 expression. It is known that the balance between VEGFR2 and VEGFR1 determines tip selection and network architecture, however the quantitative interrelationship of the receptors and their interrelated balances, also with relation to Dll4-Notch1 signaling, remains yet largely unknown. Here, we present an agent-based computer model of sprouting angiogenesis, integrating VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 in a detailed model of cellular signaling. Our model reproduces experimental data on VEGFR1 knockout. We show that soluble VEGFR1 improves the efficiency of angiogenesis by directing sprouts away from existing cells over a wide range of parameters. Our analysis unravels the relevance of the stability of the active notch intracellular domain as a dominating hub in this regulatory network. Our analysis quantitatively dissects the regulatory interactions in sprouting angiogenesis. Because we use a detailed model of intracellular signaling, the results of our analysis are directly linked to biological entities. We provide our computational model and simulation engine for integration in complementary modeling approaches.

description: We discuss the possibility of spin-triplet superconductivity in a two-dimensional Hubbard model on a triangular lattice within the third-order perturbation theory. When we vary the symmetry in the dispersion of the bare energy band from D_2 to D_6, spin-singlet superconductivity in the D_2-symmetric system is suppressed and we obtain spin-triplet superconductivity in near the D_6-symmetric system. In this case, it is found that the vertex terms, which are not included in the interaction mediated by the spin fluctuation, are essential for realizing the spin-triplet pairing. We point out the possibility that obtained results correspond to the difference between the superconductivity of UNi_2Al_3 and that of UPd_2Al_3.

description: Quenching an ultracold bosonic gas in a ring across the Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition is known, and has been experimentally observed, to lead to the spontaneous emergence of persistent currents. The present work examines how these phenomena generalize to a system of two experimentally accessible explicitly two-dimensional co-planar rings with a common interface, or to the related lemniscate geometry, and demonstrates an emerging independence of winding numbers across the rings, which can exhibit flow both in the same and in opposite directions. The observed persistence of such findings in the presence of dissipative coupled evolution due to the local character of the domain formation across the phase transition and topological protection of the randomly emerging winding numbers should be within current experimental reach.

description: Although riboflavin (RF) belongs to the water-soluble vitamins of group B, its solubility is low. Therefore, the application of micro-formulations may help to overcome this limiting factor for the delivery of RF. In this study we immobilized RF in newly developed albumin submicron particles prepared using the Co-precipitation Crosslinking Dissolution technique (CCD-technique) of manganese chloride and sodium carbonate in the presence of human serum albumin (HSA) and RF. The resulting RF containing HSA particles (RF-HSA-MPs) showed a narrow size distribution in the range of 0.9 to 1 mu m, uniform peanut-like morphology, and a zeta-potential of -15 mV. In vitro release studies represented biphasic release profiles of RF in a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4 and a cell culture medium (RPMI) 1640 medium over a prolonged period. Hemolysis, platelet activation, and phagocytosis assays revealed a good hemocompatibility of RF-HSA-MPs.

description: Odd-parity error rejection (OPER) can drastically improve the asymptotic key rate of sending-or-not-sending twin-field (SNS-TF) quantum key distribution (QKD). However, in practice, the finite key effects have to be considered for security. Here, we propose a zigzag approach to verify the phase-flip error of the survived bits after OPER. Based on this, we can take all the finite key effect efficiently in calculating the non-asymptotic key rate. Numerical simulation shows that our method here produces the highest key rate over all distances among all existing methods, improving the key rate by more than $100\%$ to $3000\%$ in comparison with different prior art methods with typical experimental setting. Also, we show that with the method here, the SNS-TF QKD can by far break the the absolute bound of repeater-less key rate with whatever detection efficiency. We can even reach a non-asymptotic key rate more than $40$ times of the practical bound and $13$ times of the absolute bound with $10^{12}$ pulses. Besides, we apply the McDiarmid inequality to estimate the phase flip error rate, further improving the key rate by more than $20\%$.

 Material examined: MBMCS 139, 1 specimen, SL 45 mm; SW 24 mm.
 Description. Shell moderately large, solid, glossy; outline broadly conical. Shoulder angulate, broad, weakly undulate. Spire of moderate height, bluntly pointed; outline straight. Body whorl smooth except widely spaced spiral ribs on basal third and few spiral threads in between. Aperture moderately wide, uniform in width; outer lip thin and sharp.
Ground colour dull white. Body whorl with a narrower light-brown spiral band above centre, also wider deep solid brown band on basal fourth to third, remaining areas clouded with lighter brown crossed by well separated fine orange axial lines that extend to shoulder ramp. Spire white, covered with fine orange brown axial lines, early whorls badly eroded, white. Aperture translucent.
 Distribution. We obtained a specimen from Pamban (Table 6) by trawling in 10– 20 m.
 Remarks. Linnaeus gave the type locality of this species as ‘India’ (Röckel et al. 1995) without precise locality data. This record appears to be first to give the exact locality of C. miles in India. This species is extremely rare along the TamilNadu Coast.

description: We formulate the theory of nonlinear viscoelastic hydrodynamics of anisotropic crystals in terms of dynamical Goldstone scalars of spontaneously broken translational symmetries, under the assumption of homogeneous lattices and absence of plastic deformations. We reformulate classical elasticity effective field theory using surface calculus in which the Goldstone scalars naturally define the position of higher-dimensional crystal cores, covering both elastic and smectic crystal phases. We systematically incorporate all dissipative effects in viscoelastic hydrodynamics at first order in a long-wavelength expansion and study the resulting rheology equations. In the process, we find the necessary conditions for equilibrium states of viscoelastic materials. In the linear regime and for isotropic crystals, the theory includes the description of Kelvin-Voigt materials. Furthermore, we provide an entirely equivalent description of viscoelastic hydrodynamics as a novel theory of higher-form superfluids in arbitrary dimensions where the Goldstone scalars of partially broken generalised global symmetries play an essential role. An exact map between the two formulations of viscoelastic hydrodynamics is given. Finally, we study holographic models dual to both these formulations and map them one-to-one via a careful analysis of boundary conditions. We propose a new simple holographic model of viscoelastic hydrodynamics by adopting an alternative quantisation for the scalar fields.

description: A particular yet large class of non-diverging solutions which admits a cosmological constant, electromagnetic field, pure radiation and/or general non-null matter component is explicitly presented. These spacetimes represent exact gravitational waves of arbitrary profiles which propagate in background universes such as Minkowski, conformally flat (anti-)de Sitter, Edgar-Ludwig, Bertotti-Robinson, and type D (anti-)Nariai or Plebanski-Hacyan spaces, and their generalizations. All possibilities are discussed and are interpreted using a unifying simple metric form. Sandwich and impulsive waves propagating in the above background spaces with different geometries and matter content can easily be constructed. New solutions are identified, e.g. type D pure radiation or explicit type II electrovacuum waves in (anti-)Nariai universe. It is also shown that, in general, there are no conformally flat Einstein-Maxwell fields with a non-vanishing cosmological constant.

description: Previous research has shown that the dairy industry in Serbia is more profitable than the market average measured by indices of the Belgrade Stock Exchange BELEX15 and BELEXLINE. The labour costs are, after raw milk costs, the second most important group of costs in dairy processing industry. The aim of this paper is to identify changes and adaptations of modern industry market conditions through analysis of labour cost of dairy processing industry in Serbia, by analysis of the trends in the number of employees, average labour cost, and productivity and cost efficiency and through the prism of these changes. In this paper, on qualified sample is proved that there is a strong positive correlation between firm size and productivity and a weaker one between firm size and labour costs. On the other hand, contrary to previous research, relation between the size of companies in the sample and the economic efficiency of labour costs was not confirmed.

description: The emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria constitutes a great challenge for modern medicine, recognized by leading medical experts and politicians worldwide. Rediscovery and implementation of bacteriophage therapy by Western medicine might be one solution to the problem of increasing antibiotic failure. In some Eastern European countries phage therapy is used for treating infectious diseases. However, while the European Medicines Agency (EMA) advised that the development of bacteriophage-based therapies should be expedited due to its significant potential, EMA emphasized that phages cannot be recommended for approval before efficacy and safety have been proven by appropriately designed preclinical and clinical trials. More evidence-based data is required, particularly in the areas of pharmacokinetics, repeat applications, immunological reactions to the application of phages as well as the interactions and effects on bacterial biofilms and organ-specific environments. In this brief review we summarize advantages and disadvantages of phage therapy and discuss challenges to the establishment of phage therapy as approved treatment for multidrug-resistant bacteria.

description: Nontrivial topology in bulk matter has been linked with the existence of topologically protected interfacial states. We show that a gaseous plasmon polariton (GPP), an electromagnetic surface wave existing at the boundary of magnetized plasma and vacuum, has a topological origin that arises from the nontrivial topology of magnetized plasma. Because a gaseous plasma cannot sustain a sharp interface with discontinuous density, one must consider a gradual density falloff with scale length comparable or longer than the wavelength of the wave. We show that the GPP may be found within a gapped spectrum in present-day laboratory devices, suggesting that platforms are currently available for experimental investigation of topological wave physics in plasmas.

description: This article applies the Rapfish methodology, a non-parametric and multi-disciplinary technique, with the objective of defining and evaluating a Sustainability Index of the Basque purse-seine fleet, fishing tropical tuna in the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. The estimated Sustainability Index for the fleet fishing in the Indian Ocean is above a critical sustainability treshold and improves between 1998 and 2009. The opposite occurs for the fleet in the Atlantic Ocean. The influence of the growing use os Fish Aggregating Devices on the behaviour of fishers in the Indian Ocean is also analysed.

description: The neuropeptide Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is well-known for its important functions in immunity and inflammation. Data regarding anti-inflammatory properties of PACAP in the intestinal tract are limited, however. In our present preclinical intervention study we addressed whether PACAP treatment could alleviate experimental subacute ileitis mimicking human gut microbiota conditions. Therefore, secondary abioitic mice were subjected to human fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and perorally infected with low-dose Toxoplasma gondii to induce subacute ileitis on day 0. From day 3 until day 8 post-infection, mice were either treated with synthetic PACAP38 or placebo. At day 9 post-infection, placebo, but not PACAP treated mice exhibited overt macroscopic sequelae of intestinal immunopathology. PACAP treatment further resulted in less distinct apoptotic responses in ileal and colonic epithelia that were accompanied by lower T cell numbers in the mucosa and lamina propria and less secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in intestinal ex vivo biopsies. Notably, ileitis-associated gut microbiota shifts were less distinct in PACAP as compared to placebo treated mice. Inflammation-ameliorating effects of PACAP were not restricted to the intestines, but could also be observed in extra-intestinal including systemic compartments as indicated by lower apoptotic cell counts and less pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in liver and lungs taken from PACAP treated as compared to placebo control mice, which also held true for markedly lower serum TNF and IL-6 concentrations in the former as compared to the latter. Our preclinical intervention study provides strong evidence that synthetic PACAP alleviates subacute ileitis and extra-intestinal including systemic sequelae of T cell-driven immunopathology. These findings further support PACAP as a novel treatment option for intestinal inflammation including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

description: BackgroundTwo-stage exchange arthroplasty is still the preferred treatment choice for chronic PJI. However, the results remain unpredictable. We analyzed the treatment success of patients with an infected hip prosthesis, who were treated according to a standardized algorithm with a multidisciplinary team approach and evaluated with a strict definition of failure.MethodsIn this single-center prospective cohort study, all hip PJI episodes from March 2013 to May 2015 were included. Treatment failure was assessed according to the Delphi-based consensus definition. The Kaplan-Meier survival method was used to estimate the probability of infection-free survival. Patients were dichotomized into two groups depending on the number of previous septic revisions, duration of prosthesis-free interval, positive culture with difficult-to-treat microorganisms, microbiology at explantation, and microbiology at reimplantation.ResultsEighty-four patients with hip PJI were the subject of this study. The most common isolated microorganisms were coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) followed by Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium. Almost half of the study cohort (46%) had at least one previous septic revision before admission. The Kaplan-Meier estimated infection-free survival after 3years was 89.3% (95% CI, 80% to 94%) with 30 patients at risk. The mean follow-up was 33.1months (range, 24-48months) with successful treatment of PJI. There were no statistical differences in infect eradication rate among the dichotomized groups.ConclusionsHigh infect eradication rates were achieved in a challenging cohort using a standardized two-stage exchange supported by a multidisciplinary approach.
