description: The impacts of COVID-19 on CFEs varied, with the most common experience being the unprecedented increase in demands. This occurred even though usual sales channels (farmers’ markets and cafes/restaurants) for many CFEs were eroded, and workforces (paid and volunteer) were restricted or lost due to health and safety regulations outlined by state governments. Adapting to new circumstances presented certain challenges when planning because CFEs lacked clear information about the longevity of the pandemic and whether long-term changes should be invested. The most prominent example was a shift to online sales channels which brought new challenges and increased costs to many CFEs already operating with limited resources. Online sales channels also impacted CFEs by intensifying competition from new and big players (both private and public) who benefited from well financed logistics and online marketing campaigns. Despite these logistical challenges, online platforms provided CFEs with an opportunity to reach a larger customer clientele and launch a stronger online presence. In response, CFEs were successful in remaining open, relevant and effective through creating new markets, products and services in the face of disruptions. As sales channels shifted CFEs perceptions of COVID-19 affected their responses. Those who saw the pandemic as long-term, and had the resources, invested in online platforms and managed increased workloads and complexities. These responses were additionally affected by the flexibility of CFEs distribution networks. Those able to adjust models to give greater delivery or pick up options were more effective in responding to COVID-19 impacts. COVID-19s’ effect on restricting workforces meant that CFEs had to focus on minimising risks through limiting customer contact and enforcing strict hygiene practices, whilst meeting increased demand with stretched resources and seriously decreased workforces. CFEs are calling for a strengthened food sector community, government recognition and funding, and skill support for (now vital) online environments. Government's ability through ‘buying local’ policies, grants for organisations to scale up and/or showcase their successes, and initiatives to support a new generation of farmers would have strengthened CFEs responding to COVID-19 disruptions. Additionally, CFEs that were unable to adapt and engage successfully with online sales channels would have benefited from skill development programs or hiring workers with social media or IT experience.

description: To constrain cosmological parameters, one often makes a joint analysis with different combinations of observational data sets. In this paper we take the figure of merit (FoM) for Dark Energy Task Force fiducial model (CPL model) to estimate goodness of different combinations of data sets, which include 11 widely-used observational data sets (Type Ia Supernovae, Observational Hubble Parameter, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, Cosmic Microwave Background, X-ray Cluster Baryon Mass Fraction, and Gamma-Ray Bursts). We analyze different combinations and make a comparison for two types of combination based on two types of basic combinations, which are often adopted in the literatures. We find two sets of combinations, which have strong ability to constrain the dark energy parameters, one has the largest FoM, the other contains less observational data with a relative large FoM and a simple fitting procedure.

description: Effective issue triaging is crucial for software development teams to improve software quality, and thus customer satisfaction. Validating issue reports manually can be time-consuming, hindering the overall efficiency of the triaging process. This paper presents an approach on automating the validation of issue reports to accelerate the issue triaging process in an industrial set-up. We work on 1,200 randomly selected issue reports in banking domain, written in Turkish, an agglutinative language, meaning that new words can be formed with linear concatenation of suffixes to express entire sentences. We manually label these reports for validity, and extract the relevant patterns indicating that they are invalid. Since the issue reports we work on are written in an agglutinative language, we use morphological analysis to extract the features. Using the proposed feature extractors, we utilize a machine learning based approach to predict the issue reports' validity, performing a 0.77 F1-score.

description: Bibliography: p. 147-155.
description: In this qualitative study I have explored the contemporary rise in Islamic fundamentalism. The case of two countries are examined, Sudan and Pakistan. Islamic fundamentalism is looked at and its definition discussed, and the causes of its rise are examined. This is followed by the study of recent histories of Pakistan and Sudan, which shed light on the important events which have contributed in the Islamization of these societies. The importance of religious leaders is paramount in the rise of Islamic fundamentalism, as a majority of the practicing Muslims seek their guidance in religious matters and revere them profoundly. I have analysed the life and work of two religious leaders', Dr. Hassan Turabi of Sudan and Maulana Mawdudi of Pakistan. Also, I have conducted the discursive analysis of these two religious leaders, in order to gain better understanding of Islamic fundamentalism which has emerged with much force in recent years. The growing Islamic fundamentalism is a complex phenomenon, which spills out in multi-disciplinary directions. From a perspective of sociology, I have attempted to shed light on it but by no means make any claims.
Essays in environmental economics

description: The objective of this dissertation is to improve our understanding of environmental policies, particularly with respect to two emerging alternative approaches to regulation. They are alternatives to the command and control approach, which policymakers have relied on heavily since the early 1970s. One alternative is to introduce market-based policy instruments like emission taxes or tradable permits. Another alternative is to rely on voluntary approaches to environmental protection. This thesis will study these two alternatives. Our first essay will focus on voluntary programs (VPs) that aim to reduce emissions of pollutants. We try to explain theoretically why governments implement these programs and to examine the property of the VP which the regulator implements to maximize social welfare. We show that if setting an efficient mandatory standard is politically difficult, a regulator might implement the VP because it can generate higher social welfare than the mandatory standard. The abatement rate of the VP that generates the highest social welfare costs participating firms the same amount as the mandatory standard would. The second essay will empirically examine the determinants of environmental management system certifications, especially the ISO 14001 certification, which is a popular environmental practice, and their impacts on environmental performance. In particular, we focus on intra-industry spillovers of ISO 14001 adoption and environmental performance. We apply estimation methods of spatial econometrics to a Japanese facility’s dataset to deal with the spillovers. We find intra-industry spillovers of emissions reduction into the air between similarly sized facilities and of ISO 14001 adoption between similarly sized facilities that emit into water. The third essay will compare taxes and quotas, when an informed polluting industry influences them by political contributions to a government. We show that private information can improve social welfare under taxes but cannot improve it under quotas. Private information also reduces a comparative disadvantage of the taxes over the quotas when the government does not care about social welfare very much.

description: The volcanic front in southern Central America is well known for its Galapagos OIB-like geochemical signature. A comprehensive set of geochemical, isotopic and geochronological data collected on volumetrically minor alkaline basalts and adakites were used to better constrain the mantle and subduction magma components and to test the different models that explain this OIB signature in an arc setting. We report a migration of back-arc alkaline volcanism towards the northwest, consistent with arc-parallel mantle flow models, and a migration towards the southeast in the adakites possibly tracking the eastward movement of the triple junction where the Panama Fracture Zone intersects the Middle America Trench. The adakites major and trace element compositions are consistent with magmas produced by melting a mantle-wedge source metasomatized by slab derived melts. The alkaline magmas are restricted to areas that have no seismic evidence of a subducting slab. The geochemical signature of the alkaline magmas is mostly controlled by upwelling asthenosphere with minor contributions from subduction components. Mantle potential temperatures calculated from the alkaline basalt primary magmas increased from close to ambient mantle (~ 1380–1410 °C) in the Pliocene to ~ 1450 °C in the younger units. The calculated initial melting pressures for these primary magmas are in the garnet stability field (3.0–2.7 GPa). The average final melting pressures range between 2.7 and 2.5 GPa, which is interpreted as the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary at ~ 85–90 km. We provide a geotectonic model that integrates the diverse observations presented here. The slab detached after the collision of the Galapagos tracks with the arc (~ 10–8 Ma). The detachment allowed hotter asthenosphere to flow into the mantle wedge. This influx of hotter asthenosphere explains the increase in mantle potential temperatures, the northwest migration in the back-arc alkaline lavas that tracks the passage of the hotter asthenosphere, and the presence of a slab melting signature in the volcanic front caused by recycling of Galapagos Hotspot tracks.

description: We have measured the interaction energy and three-body recombination rate for a two-component Fermi gas near a narrow Feshbach resonance and found both to be strongly energy dependent. Even for deBroglie wavelengths greatly exceeding the van der Waals length scale, the behavior of the interaction energy as a function of temperature cannot be described by atoms interacting via a contact potential. Rather, energy-dependent corrections beyond the scattering length approximation are required, indicating a resonance with an anomalously large effective range. For fields where the molecular state is above threshold, the rate of three-body recombination is enhanced by a sharp, two-body resonance arising from the closed-channel molecular state which can be magnetically tuned through the continuum. This narrow resonance can be used to study strongly correlated Fermi gases that simultaneously have a sizeable effective range and a large scattering length.

Garnet-bearing ultramafic rocks from the Dominican Republic: Fossil mantle plume fragments in an ultra high pressure oceanic complex?

description: Ultra high pressure (UHP) garnet-bearing ultramafic rocks from the Dominican Republic may represent the only known example where such rocks were exhumed at an ocean–ocean convergent plate boundary, and where the protolith crystallized from a UHP magma (> 3.2 GPa, > 1500 °C). This study focuses on the petrology and geochemistry of one of the ultramafic lithologies, the pegmatitic garnet-clinopyroxenite (garnet + clinopyroxene + spinel + corundum + hornblende). Three distinct types of garnet were recognized: Type-1 garnet (low Ca, high Mg) is interpreted as near magmatic (P > 3.2 GPa, > 1500 °C). Type-1′ garnet (high Ca, low Mg) is interpreted as having formed approximately isochemically from magmatic high-Al clinopyroxene. Type-2 garnet (intermediate Ca, high Mg, and low Fe + Mn) formed together with hornblende as a result of late, low-pressure retrograde hydration. Clinopyroxene is close to diopside–hedenbergite (Mg# ~ 88) and metasomatized by arc-related fluids. Spinel and corundum occur as microinclusions in type-1 and type-1′ garnets in the only reported natural occurrence of coexisting garnet + spinel + corundum, indicative of very high pressure. Chondrite-normalized REEs (rare earth elements) of the garnets show humped or weakly sinusoidal patterns, typically associated with garnet inclusions in diamond and garnet in kimberlite that crystallized at UHP conditions. These humped to weakly sinusoidal REE patterns developed as the result of interaction with a light REE-enriched metasomatic fluid. Partitioning of REEs between type-1′ and type-1 garnets is consistent with the former having inherited its REEs from a high-Al clinopyroxene predecessor. The partitioning preserves a record of near-solidus temperatures (~ 1475 °C). Petrology and phase relationships independently suggest near-solidus conditions > 1500 °C (the highest temperature conditions reported in a UHP orogenic setting), providing evidence for an origin in a mantle plume. Therefore, the Dominican ultramafic rocks may represent the only example of exhumed "fossil fragments" of mantle plume in an orogenic setting (oceanic or continental).

Order and Chaos in some Trigonometric Series: Curious Adventures of a Statistical Mechanic

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012

description: This paper tells the story how a MAPLE-assisted quest for an interesting undergraduate problem in trigonometric series led some "amateurs" to the discovery that the one-parameter family of deterministic trigonometric series $\pzcS_p: t\mapsto \sum_{n\in\Nset}\sin(n^{-{p}}t)$, $p>1$, exhibits both order and apparent chaos, and how this has prompted some professionals to offer their expert insights. It is proved that $\pzcS_p(t) = α_p\rm{sign}(t)|t|^{1/{p}}+O(|t|^{1/{(p+1)}})\;\forall\;t\in\Rset$, with explicitly computed constant $α_p$. Experts' commentaries are reproduced stating the fluctuations of $\pzcS_p(t) - α_p{\rm{sign}}(t)|t|^{1/{p}}$ are presumably not Gaussian. Inspired by a central limit type theorem of Marc Kac, a well-motivated conjecture is formulated to the effect that the fluctuations of the $\lceil t^{1/(p+1)}\rceil$-th partial sum of $\pzcS_p(t)$, when properly scaled, do converge in distribution to a standard Gaussian when $t\to\infty$, though --- provided that $p$ is chosen so that the frequencies $\{n^{-p}\}_{n\in\Nset}$ are rationally linear independent; no conjecture has been forthcoming for rationally dependent $\{n^{-p}\}_{n\in\Nset}$. Moreover, following other experts' tip-offs, the interesting relationship of the asymptotics of $\pzcS_p(t)$ to properties of the Riemann $ζ$ function is exhibited using the Mellin transform.

description: Tardive dyskinesia (TD), characterized by oro‐buccal‐lingual stereotypy, can manifest in the form of akathisia, dystonia, tics, tremor, chorea, or as a combination of different types of abnormal movements. In addition to movement disorders (including involuntary vocalizations), patients with TD may have a variety of sensory symptoms, such as urge to move (as in akathisia), paresthesias, and pain. TD is a form of tardive syndrome—a group of iatrogenic hyperkinetic and hypokinetic movement disorders caused by dopamine receptor‐blocking agents. The pathophysiology of TD remains poorly understood, and treatment of this condition is often challenging. In this update, we provide the most current information on the history, nomenclature, etiology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, phenomenology, differential diagnosis, and treatment of TD.

description: At the beginning of the decade of the 1970's it was clear that unless an instream flow regimens was quantified the need for an instream flow. Three 1970's methods are reviewed: 1) a method based on the characteristics of the streamflows is the Montana Method, 2) a method based on the hydraulic attributes of the channel is the Water Surface Profile Method, and a method that uses hydraulic attributes contained in papers on the Montana Method. Strong points of the Montana Method are the relation between the magnitude of the instream flow and the quality of the habitat, and the variation of the instream flow between seasons. The WSP Method did link biological needs to river hydraulics which is a strong point. These links have proven to be very fruitful in instream flow studies. The Montana Method hydraulic criteria are useful but there is a stream size effect that was not accounted for in the application of the criteria.

description: The combination of the unique properties of graphene with spin polarization and magnetism for the design of new spintronic concepts and devices has been hampered by the small Coulomb interaction and the tiny spin-orbit coupling of carbon in pristine graphene. Such device concepts would take advantage of the control of the spin degree of freedom utilizing the widely available electric fields in electronics or of topological transport mechanisms such as the conjectured quantum anomalous Hall effect. Here we show, using first-principles methods, that 5d transition-metal (TM) adatoms deposited on graphene display remarkable magnetic properties. All considered TM adatoms possess significant spin moments with colossal magnetocrystalline anisotropy energies as large as 50 meV per TM atom. We reveal that the magneto-electric response of deposited TM atoms is extremely strong and in some cases offers even the possibility to switch the spontaneous magnetization direction by a moderate external electric field. We predict that an electrically tunable quantum anomalous Hall effect can be observed in this type of hybrid materials.

description: We have established the average shape and location of Mercury's magnetopause and bow shock from orbital observations by the MESSENGER Magnetometer. We fit empirical models to midpoints of boundary crossings and probability density maps of the magnetopause and bow shock positions. The magnetopause was fit by a surface for which the position R from the planetary dipole varies as [1 + cos(theta)]-alpha, where theta is the angle between R and the dipole-Sun line, the subsolar standoff distance Rss is 1.45 RM (where RM is Mercury's radius), and the flaring parameter alpha = 0.5. The average magnetopause shape and location were determined under a mean solar wind ram pressure PRam of 14.3 nPa. The best fit bow shock shape established under an average Alfvén Mach number (MA) of 6.6 is described by a hyperboloid having Rss = 1.96 RM and an eccentricity of 1.02. These boundaries move as PRam and MA vary, but their shapes remain unchanged. The magnetopause Rss varies from 1.55 to 1.35 RM for PRam in the range of 8.8-21.6 nPa. The bow shock Rss varies from 2.29 to 1.89 RM for MA in the range of 4.12-11.8. The boundaries are well approximated by figures of revolution. Additional quantifiable effects of the interplanetary magnetic field are masked by the large dynamic variability of these boundaries. The magnetotail surface is nearly cylindrical, with a radius of ~2.7 RM at a distance of 3 RM downstream of Mercury. By comparison, Earth's magnetotail flaring continues until a downstream distance of ~10 Rss.

By solving the stochastic projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation, we show that crystallization of merons can occur in a spinor condensate of ^{87}Rb. Analytic form and stability of the crystal structure are given. Likewise, inverted merons can be created in a spin-polarized spinor condensate of ^{23}Na. Our studies provide a chance to explore the fundamental properties of meron-like matter.

description: We compare threshold resummation in QCD, as performed using soft-collinear effective theory (SCET), to the standard perturbative QCD formalism based on factorization and resummation of Mellin moments of partonic cross-sections. We consider various forms of the SCET result, which correspond to different choices of the soft scale mu_s that characterizes this approach. We derive a master formula that relates the SCET resummation to the QCD result for any choice of mu_s. We then use it first, to show that if SCET resummation is performed in N-Mellin moment space by suitable choice of mu_s it is equivalent to the standard perturbative approach. Next, we show that if SCET resummation is performed by choosing for mu_s a partonic momentum variable, the perturbative result for partonic resummed cross-sections is again reproduced, but like its standard perturbative counterpart it is beset by divergent behaviour at the endpoint. Finally, using the master formula we show that when mu_s is chosen as a hadronic momentum variable the SCET and standard approach are related through a multiplicative (convolutive) factor, which contains the dependence on the Landau pole and associated divergence. This factor depends on the luminosity in a non-universal way; it lowers by one power of log the accuracy of the resummed result, but it is otherwise subleading if one assumes the luminosity not to contain logarithmically enhanced terms. Therefore, the SCET approach can be turned into a prescription to remove the Landau pole from the perturbative result, but the price to pay for this is the reduction by one logarithmic power of the accuracy at each order and the need to make assumptions on the parton luminosity.

description: Male and female academics have very different residence patterns. Women are more concentrated in our largest urban centers; also, wherever they reside, women are less likely than men to change communities when changing institutions. Much of this sex difference is attributable to the constraints under which married academic women must manage their careers. The authors argue that much of the status difference between men and women in academia is attributable to the disadvantage of women in making strategic career decisions.

description: The Fossil Creek Lakes, located in Fossil Creek Community Park in south Fort Collins, Colorado, are the remnants of the old Poertner Reservoir constructed more than 100 years ago, which is an aesthetic and recreational fishing amenity to park visitors. However, the accumulation of 100 years of organic matter and sulfur compounds in the bottom coupled with summer and winter thermal stratification results in extremely low redox potentials in the bottom sediments and high concentrations of reduced sulfur (S-II). The presence of H2S (g), particularly during lake turnover events has resulted in numerous odor complaints from park visitors and residents living nearby. In addition, fish kills occur during the late summer and through the winter, which has forced water managers to look for solutions to eliminate air quality impacts and protect water quality. As maintenance of aerobic conditions in the hypolimnion is an important consideration for successful lake management, this research focused on the use of artificial aeration to increase hypolimnetic dissolved oxygen levels. The number of aerators was substantially less in number than would typically be used in a lake of this size, because it was hypothesized that by placing the aerators in the deeper pockets of the lake, density differences would cause the heavier bottom water to "flow downhill" toward the aerators, increasing the effective circulation cells of the individual aerators. The experimental method involved monitoring of specific water quality constituents prior to and after the aeration. Preliminary findings show the aeration system significantly eliminated summer and winter lake stratification, reduced the odor problems, improved the water quality, including pH, solids, and nitrogen and phosphorus species.

description: What we eat, what we do, the illnesses we battle, and the populations with which we have genetic affinity, are identifiable by analyses of our skeletal and dental remains. The skeletal and dental remains examined in this dissertation are from five ancient cemeteries of hunter-fisher-gatherers who lived in the Cis-Baikal region of Siberia, Russia, from 9,000 to 3,000 years ago. Two biocultural populations lived during this time: the Early Neolithic Kitoi and the Late Neolithic-Bronze Age Isakovo-Serovo-Glaskovo (ISG). This dissertation contains four discrete bioarchaeological investigations. 1) Dental non­metric traits to assess the genetic affinity of populations; 2) Activity-induced dental modification to examine the production of material culture items such as cordage and fishing nets; 3) Stable nitrogen and carbon isotopes to reconstruct subadult diet and infant feeding practices, and; 4) Dental enamel hypoplasia frequency, periodicity, and age of formation, to assess levels of physiological stress. Biocultural diversity among cemeteries is primarily explored along temporal (Early Neolithic; Late Neolithic; Bronze Age) and spatial (lakeshore vs. riverine location) axes. Results reveal significant temporal differences. The Kitoi and ISG have statistically significant differences in dental non-metric trait frequencies. In the ISG sample several trait frequencies are similar to those of Western Eurasian populations, suggesting gene flow with groups that lived to the west or south of Lake Baikal. In terms of infant feeding practices, the Kitoi weaned their infants at a slightly later age and over a shorter amount of time than the ISG from the Ust' -Ida I cemetery. Differences between the Kitoi and ISG in the periodicity of linear enamel defects suggest that Early Neolithic peoples were more heavily affected by annual periods of food scarcity. Results also reveal significant regional variation. The cemeteries along the Angara River have similar dental non-metric trait frequencies, even between samples from different time-periods. Cemeteries along the river also have higher frequencies of activity-induced occlusal grooves, which may be related to different fishing practices. Overall, this dissertation adds new data to our understanding of the biocultural differences and similarities in Kitoi and ISG groups, while also considering the impact of regional variation. The biocultural diversity of these boreal forest groups illustrates the flexibility of human adaptation.

description: Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) was established in 1924 with two primary missions – flood control and water supply in and around Tarrant County, Texas. TRWD's current 11 county service area population of 1.8 million is projected to be 2.25 million by 2050. Sustainability will be key in meeting these growing demands. In 1997, the 75th Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 1 aimed at improving development and management of the state's water resources by establishing a regional water planning process. In terms of systems engineering doctrines, Texas basically established a state wide water resources super system or system of systems and provided the associated concept development stage process for the state's designated planning regions to execute on an iterative and recurring five year cycle. With respect to sustainability, Senate Bill 1 also directed that water conservation options and actions be integral to the water supply planning, permitting and operational developments. Part of TRWD's sustainable water supply is a 2,000 acre constructed wetlands put online in 2013. This paper examines TRWD's constructed wetlands from the systems engineering and sustainability perspectives. From the systems engineering standpoint, the Richland Chambers (RC) Wetlands Facility was designed and constructed using a multi-phased prototype approach allowing TRWD to research and evaluate treatment performance, operation and maintenance issues, and design criteria through actual field trials and implementation. The RC Constructed Wetland meets the State's conservation (sustainability) requirement in that the developed indirect reuse system successfully treats and enhances the quality of the Trinity River return flows from TRWD's service area prior to discharging back into Richland Chambers Reservoir for the return trip to the service area. The net achievement is adding the equivalent of a new source to TRWD's water supply inventory without building a new reservoir or transmission conveyance (system capacity upgrade), achieving the State required conservation (recycling) mandate in Senate Bill 1 with indirect reuse, and maintaining the existing environmental water quality in Richland Chambers Reservoir with the removal of nutrients and sediments.

description: Gassy soils are commonly found in the ocean seabed in the form of gas-charged sediments and are known to be widely distributed throughout the world. Perturbations to the sediment could result in instability of the gassy soil matrix and result in flow liquefaction. Although gassy soils behavior has been studied by various researchers, more emphasis has been on clay mixed soils or dense soils and it appears that there is no published research data on the effect of gas on loose silt-sands. The main objective of this thesis was to determine whether loose gassy silt-sands experiences strain softening flow liquefaction behavior under monotonic loading conditions at high degree of water saturation levels (i.e. Sr> 95% ). The triaxial system used for monotonic tests was modified from an unsaturated stress path triaxial system. The ultrasonic wave measurements were taken by using an ultrasonic apparatus. The results show that the monotonic undrained loading tests on loose saturated sand and silt-sand specimens confirmed silt-sands are more susceptible to liquefaction, compared to pure sand. The study also confirmed loose gassy sands and silt-sands are more susceptible to liquefy and experience strain softening behavior than saturated sand and silt-sand mixtures when the degree of saturation is above 95%. The results indicate that the critical state lines on e-p' space for saturated and gassy pure sand possess a shape similar to sand with fines and using the intergrain state concept it was observed that the critical state lines could be collapsed to one unique line. For both saturated and gassy sand and silt-sand mixtures, the research confirmed that critical state lines on the q-p' space passes through the origin and the inclusion of fines appeared to rotate the critical state line in the anti-clockwise direction. The instability line analysis for saturated and gassy silt-sand mixtures manifested as a straight line passing through the origin and the instability zone expanded when fine content was increased. A larger instability zone for gassy soils relative to saturated soils was observed. P wave behaviour during bubble nucleation showed that P wave velocity is sensitive to the wave amplitude. Compression wave studies on monotonic undrained shearing tests indicated P wave data points followed a path similar to the undrained stress path.
TAML Catalysis for a Safer Environment: Oxidative Transformations of Natural and Anthropogenic Aqueous Micropollutants

description: Access to safe, clean drinking water remains a serious challenge across the modern world. The lack of access to clean water becomes even more widespread and dire upon taking into account the ubiquity of harmful micropollutants now found in waterways worldwide. These trace contaminants arise from sources ranging from the industrial (factory wastewater or agricultural run-off) to the personal (pharmaceuticals and personal care products in household wastewater). Thus, the development of safe, affordable, and effective treatments for these micropollutants is vital. Fe-TAML (TetraAmido Macrocylic Ligand) catalysts are a promising technology for water purification. Small molecule functional mimics of peroxidase enzymes, TAML catalysts work in conjunction with hydrogen peroxide to effectively remediate a wide variety of compounds of environmental interest. This work expands the scope of TAML chemistries by studying aspects of the activity, lifetime, and mechanisms of a bis-amido–bis-sulfonamido macrocycle catalyst, 2, with a focus on the treatment of natural and artificial micropollutants. Five issues are examined herein. (1) 2/H2O2 is found to rapidly oxidize the dangerous and widespread algal toxin microcystin-LR. Although the reaction is rapid, the extent of oxidation is limited. (2) Two model azole fungicides, propiconazole and flusilazole, were found to be highly resistant to oxidation by 2/H2O2 and 2/NaOCl, representing a “wall” which current TAML catalysts cannot surmount. The environmental and health effects of these widely used fungicides are reviewed. (3) The oxidative degradation of the benzimidazole fungicide carbendazim is characterized, and products of this reaction are identified. Here, current generation catalysts show significant improvements over previous generations. (4) The scope and mechanistic characteristics of catalytic nitration of phenolic compounds, including tyrosine, by 2 are examined in an initial study. (5) The phosphate catalyzed demetallation of 2 is explored, and the effect of pH on this process is examined.

description: Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which dynamically connect the solar surface to the far reaches of interplanetary space, represent a major anifestation of solar activity. They are not only of principal interest but also play a pivotal role in the context of space weather predictions. The steady improvement of both numerical methods and computational resources during recent years has allowed for the creation of increasingly realistic models of interplanetary CMEs (ICMEs), which can now be compared to high-quality observational data from various space-bound missions. This review discusses existing models of CMEs, characterizing them by scientific aim and scope, CME initiation method, and physical effects included, thereby stressing the importance of fully 3-D ('4pi') spatial coverage.
