description: A recent ERS study estimated the economic impacts if 90 percent of infants participating in WIC in 2016 were breastfed for 12 months and received no infant formula. Under this scenario, mothers would stay in the program longer and annual WIC costs would rise by $252.4 million. These higher program costs would be partially offset by lower Federal Medicaid costs. WIC households and their health insurance providers would also realize health-related cost savings.

description: Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 (RHA1) degrades polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) via co-metabolism with biphenyl. To identify the novel open reading frames (ORFs) that contribute to PCB/biphenyl metabolism in RHA1, we compared chromatin immunoprecipitation chip and transcriptomic data. Six novel ORFs involved in PCB/biphenyl metabolism were identified. Gene deletion mutants of these 6 ORFs were made and were tested for their ability to grow on biphenyl. Interestingly, only the ro10225 deletion mutant showed deficient growth on biphenyl. Analysis of Ro10225 protein function showed that growth of the ro10225 deletion mutant on biphenyl was recovered when exogenous recombinant Ro10225 protein was added to the culture medium. Although Ro10225 protein has no putative secretion signal sequence, partially degraded Ro10225 protein was detected in conditioned medium from wild-type RHA1 grown on biphenyl. This Ro10225 fragment appeared to form a complex with another PCB/biphenyl oxidation enzyme. These results indicated that Ro10225 protein is essential for the formation of the PCB/biphenyl dioxygenase complex in RHA1.

description: We focused on the effect of various types of feedback in a game-based logical reasoning test called Triton and the Hungry Ocean in elementary school students (grades 3-6, total N = 447). We formed four experimental feedback condition groups: no feedback (A), simple (B), elaborated (C), and learner-controlled feedback (D). We did not see a positive effect on performance in any of the feedback types. However, in group D, students tended to choose elaborated feedback more often with increasing task difficulty (r = .93). Also, group D students using elaborated feedback more often showed better performance without having a higher average IQ (CFT 20-R).

description: Stylometry has traditionally focused on authorship verification and text dating through quantitative analyses. However, with advancements in computer science and the emergence of corpus linguistics and Digital Humanities, there’s a shift towards qualitative analyses characterizing text properties.

This evolution leads to the development of corpus stylistics, combining traditional rigor with large quantified data. MotiveR is introduced as a tool for corpus-based stylistics, designed initially for French but adaptable to other languages. Unlike traditional methods, MotiveR identifies lexico-grammatical patterns termed "motifs", offering a nuanced approach to stylistic analysis.

It bridges the gap between stylometry’s quantitative focus and stylistics’ qualitative examination, enabling users to interpret results systematically while being accessible to non-computer scientists. Built under tidy standards, MotiveR allows interoperability and customization, promising ongoing enrichment of functionalities.

description: The values of conservationists and planners will affect their decisions, tools, and practice, while the values of the public will affect the social acceptability of different management actions and, consequently, the likely success of implementation. This study investigates how voluntary geographic information systems (VGI) can be used to identify areas important for anthropocentric and biocentric values across a spatial planning region to inform place-based conservation planning. The study also identified anthropocentric–biocentric areas where both anthropocentric and biocentric values were assigned to the same location. Differences in local knowledge and number of visits were observed between value orientations. Differences in distance to marine reserves, conservation land, and residential areas were also observed. The study highlighted how VGI can be a useful tool to encourage awareness and engagement initial stages of the planning cycle while providing spatial data to identify place-based conservation opportunities across diverse conservation values.

description: Die Erarbeitung und Begleitung individueller (Förder-)Ziele ist Teil des Auftrags von Fachkräften in der wohnbezogenen Hilfe für Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen. Vor dem Hintergrund des Übereinkommens über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderung (UN-BRK) lässt sich der Anspruch geltend machen, dass persönliche Ziele konform mit den Menschenrechten sind. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit in Sozialer Arbeit - Sozialpädagogik untersucht, inwiefern sich die Gefühlsbilanz (Synonym: Affektbilanz) des Zürcher Ressourcen Modells (ZRM) als Methode dazu eignet. In einem explorativen Verfahren wurde sie vor dem Hintergrund des Modells der Partizipationspyramide untersucht. Es wurden existierende Adaptionen des ZRM-Trainings recherchiert und auf dieser Basis ein Manual für die Gefühlsbilanz in leichter Sprache entwickelt. Es zeigte sich, dass ZRM viel Potential hat, zur Partizipation in der wohnbezogenen Hilfe beizutragen. Dies fordert die Fachpersonen, sich als Übersetzende von Bildungsinhalten zu engagieren. Eine vollständige Adaption des ZRM-Trainings in leichter Sprache könnte die Position von Menschen mit kognitiven Beeinträchtigungen respektive Menschen mit Lernschwierigkeiten stärken.

description: Hybrid nanocomposites have the unique ability of enhancing material properties due to the existing synergistic effect of the fillers. In this study, the authors report such an eco-friendly hybrid nanocomposite comprising of polyaniline and reduced graphene oxide in polycaprolactone. The conducting polyaniline improved the processability of polycaprolactone, and the final composites were prepared by incorporating graphene oxide reduced at 200 and 600°C temperatures to the polycaprolactone–polyaniline blend. Polyaniline, polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide200, and polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide600 imparted good electrical conductivity to polycaprolactone, and the fabricated flexible polycaprolactone–polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites exhibited good mechanical property, increased thermal stability, and excellent electromagnetic interference shielding up to 42 dB at 13 GHz.
title: The Evolution of Red Supergiants in Local Group Galaxies
Creators: name: McDonald, S
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2024

description: The luminosities and mass loss rates of Red supergiants are important factors for understanding the evolution of massive stars. The empirical upper limit to Red Supergiant (RSG) luminosity, known as the Humphreys-Davidson (HD) limit, has been commonly explained as being caused by the stripping of stellar envelopes by metallicity-dependent, line-driven winds. As such, the theoretical expectation is that the HD limit should be higher at lower metallicity, where weaker mass-loss rates mean that higher initial masses are required for an envelope to be stripped. The HD limit is investigated in this thesis using a large sample of M31 RSGs in a galaxy-wide study to measure where the HD limit sits and to observe whether it has a metallicity dependence. 

Using a large homogeneous sample provides a great test bed for mass loss rates of RSGs. Recent prescriptions for RSG mass loss have seen a downward revision, showing that quiescent mass-loss during the RSG phase is not effective at removing a significant fraction of the Hydrogen envelope, prior to core-collapse. This places extra emphasis on potential short-lived high mass loss phases, which have been suggested to remove several solar masses of material in short periods of time. We investigate the mass-loss rates of RSGs at high metallicity, with the aim of obtaining an unbiased sample that catches RSGs in all mass loss phases, even the very brief ones, such that we can then ascertain in which phase most of the mass is lost. 

The overall aim of this thesis is to address these unresolved problems in massive stellar evolution and help bridge the gap between the RSG phase and supernova explosion. Having a better understanding of RSG luminosity and mass loss rates will enhance the accuracy of predictions from stellar evolution models, strengthening our understanding of massive stellar evolution.

description: The aim of this study was to delimit the taxa of the Crataegus rosei complex using an integrative approach that incorporates a suite of molecular (cpDNA and nuclear microsatellite markers), morphological, and geometric morphometric characters. One hundred and ten plants from 19 populations that encompass the entire distribution range of the species complex were collected and examined along with herbarium specimens. Parsimony and Bayesian inference analyses were run using morphological, molecular, and both the morphological and molecular data sets combined. Analyses to determine genetic structure based on microsatellite data and multivariate analyses incorporating geometric morphometrics were also done to identify differences in leaf shape. The results supported the recognition of two taxa: C. rosei with high levels of gene flow among its populations, remarkable morphological variation and a wide distribution range and C. rosei var. amoena, composed of a few isolated populations in the high elevation location of Cerro Potosí; a new specific epithet will be decided for the latter in accordance with the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants.

description: Fifty-eight European eel (Anquilla anquilla) specimens collected from five Latvian lakes were investigated for six groups of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including polychlorinated, polybrominated and mixed bromo-chloro dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/DFs, PBDD/DFs and PXDD/DFs), polychlorinated and mixed bromo-chloro biphenyls (PCBs and PXBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). PCDD/DFs and PCBs were found to occur in the range 0.85–15.8 pg Total-WHO2005-TEQ g−1 f.w., and concentrations in most of the samples were below the maximum levels specified in European Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1259/2011. The summed concentrations of 27 PBDEs (∑PBDE) and 16 non-dioxin-like PCBs (∑NDL-PCB) were in the ranges of 0.28–26.7 and 6.37–320 ng g−1 f.w., respectively. PBDD/DFs, PXDD/DFs and PXBs show average upper-bound concentrations of 0.05, 0.06 and 0.01 pg TEQ f.w. and collectively contributed 3.4% to the sum TEQ of dioxin-like compounds. The highest contaminant concentrations were measured in samples from lakes near the Baltic Sea and the industrialised area near Riga (Liepajas and Kisezers lakes). A correlation of POP concentration with the length of collected specimens was observed.

description: This study describes a method to calculate equivalent black carbon (EBC) concentrations comparable to those obtained from optical filter-based EBC instrumentation from data obtained with a semi-continuous thermo-optical analyzer (Sunset Laboratory Inc., USA) without any need of instrument alterations or extra costs. A correction for the reflection of the Sunset analyzer laser beam by the walls of the sampling tube is introduced. EBCSunset concentrations obtained during two intensive campaigns in Prague (one in winter and one in summer) were compared also to EBC measured by an AE31 Aethalometer (EBCaeth), an AE51 MicroAethalometer (EBCmicro), and a Multi Angle Absorption Photometer (EBCMAAP). Good agreement was observed in both campaigns. The EBCSunset data were also corrected for loading effects in two ways—a simple loading correction and a total correction using data also from the MAAP and a nephelometer. The loading corrections gave similar results for EBCSunset and the aethalometer data except for the simple correction for summer EBCSunset data. The multiple scattering correction factors computed for EBCSunset agreed well with those calculated for EBCaeth. The wall reflection correction for the Sunset analyzer data further improves the agreement between EBCSunset and EBCMAAP. Copyright © 2016 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: The conformational stability of 2-nitrosol-1-naphthol (2N1N) was elucidated using potential energy surface scan studies. In order to carry out a detailed vibrational spectroscopic analysis of 2N1N, Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra have been recorded in condensed phase. To determine the optimized geometry and vibrational wavenumber, density functional theory calculations in the B3LYP/6-31G** level have been carried out followed by scaling using the scaled quantum mechanical methodology. A root mean square deviation of 9.69 cm−1 has resulted from the scaled quantum mechanical treatment. Substitution of nitroso group into the 1-naphthol has produced remarkable changes in the structural parameters. The ultraviolet-visible spectra of the title compound dissolved in various solvents were recorded in the range of 300–500 nm. The natural bond orbital analysis, frontier molecular orbital analysis, and thermodynamic features were also performed using B3LYP/6-31G** method.

description: The study investigated the effect of recycling solid waste on the sustainable business operations of SMEs in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The specific objectives are to, examine the effect of Reduce on the performance of SMEs in Port Harcourt and evaluate the effect of Reuse on the performance of SMEs in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The study adopted correlational and survey research designs. The study adopted a primary source of data. The data was collected through a well-structured questionnaire. The research questions were analyzed with frequency counts, graphical illustrations, percentages, mean, and standard deviation. Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) was employed to analyze the hypotheses. The data were analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The result revealed that the adoption of reduce has a significant positive effect on the performance of SMEs in Port Harcourt with A P-value of (0.000<0.05) while there is a significant relationship between the adoption of reuse practices on performance with a P-value of (0.001<0.05) of SMEs in the manufacturing sector in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study concludes that they should start with lower-cost strategies, such as reducing waste and reusing materials implied for easier implementation. The study recommended among others that Entrepreneurs in the SME should endeavor to identify the specific recycling opportunities available in Port Harcourt. This could include plastic recycling, e-waste recycling, or other types of waste materials that can be recycled

description: The natural dyes lawsone and plumbagin (1,4-naphthoquinones) were studied by using fluorescence, Raman, infrared (IR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and surface-enhanced IR absorption. From the absorption spectrum, it was possible to infer that the enol-lawsone tautomer concentration decreases in silver colloidal solution. Plumbagin dimers, both in water and in silver colloidal solution, were identified from the fluorescence band profile and surface-SERS spectrum. The SERS spectrum of lawsone was obtained by using silver colloidal solution after 12-hour settle; the keto and enol lawsone silver colloid interaction occurs. The assignment of Raman and IR bands of both dyes was calculated with density functional theory calculations. Only a monomeric structure of lawsone interacting with a silver cluster model was predicted. The monomer adopts a nearly coplanar orientation onto the silver surface; the shortest distance is 3.2 Å, suggesting an electrostatic interaction.

In order to carry out a detailed vibrational spectroscopic analysis of 2-Nitrosol-1-napthol, Fourier Transform Infrared and Fourier Transform Raman spectra have been recorded in condensed phase. To determine the optimized geometry and vibrational wavenumber, Density functional theory calculations in the B3LYP/6-31G** level have been carried out followed by scaling using the scaled quantum mechanical methodology. A root mean square deviation of 9.69 cm−1 has resulted from the Scaled Quantum Mechanical treatment. Substitution of nitroso group into the 1-napthol has produced remarkable changes in the structural parameters. The ultraviolet visible spectra of the title compound dissolved in various solvents were recorded in the range of 300-500 nm. The natural bond orbital analysis, frontier molecular orbital analysis and thermodynamic features were also performed using B3LYP/6-31G** method.

description: The natural dyes lawsone and plumbagin (1,4-naphthoquinones) were studied by using fluorescence, Raman, infrared, surface enhanced Raman scattering and surface enhanced infrared absorption. From the absorption spectrum it was possible to infer that the enol-lawsone tautomer concentration decreases in silver colloidal solution. Plumbagin dimers, both in water and in silver colloidal solution, were identified from the fluorescence band profile and surface enhanced Raman scattering spectrum. The surface enhanced Raman scattering spectrum of lawsone was obtained by using silver colloidal solution after 12 hours settle; the keto and enol lawsone silver colloid interaction occurs. The assignment of Raman and infrared bands of both dyes was calculated with Density Functional Theory calculations. Only a monomeric structure of lawsone interacting with a silver cluster model was predicted. The monomer adopts a nearly coplanar orientation onto the silver surface; the shortest distance is 3.2 Å suggesting an electrostatic interaction.

description: DNA damage tolerance (DDT) mechanisms allow cells to synthesize a new DNA strand when the template is damaged. Many mutations resulting from DNA damage in eukaryotes are generated during DDT when cells use the mutagenic translesion polymerases, Rev1 and Polζ, rather than mechanisms with higher fidelity. The coordination among DDT mechanisms is not well understood. We used live-cell imaging to study the function of DDT mechanisms throughout the cell cycle of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We report that checkpoint-dependent mitotic delay provides a cellular mechanism to ensure the completion of high fidelity DDT, largely by homology-directed repair (HDR). DDT by mutagenic polymerases is suppressed during the checkpoint delay by a mechanism dependent on Rad51 recombinase. When cells pass the G2/M checkpoint and can no longer delay mitosis, they completely lose the capacity for HDR and simultaneously exhibit a requirement for Rev1 and Polζ. Thus, DDT is coordinated with the checkpoint response so that the activity of mutagenic polymerases is confined to a vulnerable period of the cell cycle when checkpoint delay and HDR are not possible.

description: The Jun Kinase (JNK) signaling pathway responds to diverse stimuli by appropriate and specific cellular responses such as apoptosis, differentiation or proliferation. The mechanisms that mediate this specificity remain largely unknown. The core of this signaling pathway, composed of a JNK protein and a JNK kinase (JNKK), can be activated by various putative JNKK kinases (JNKKK) which are themselves downstream of different adaptor proteins. A proposed hypothesis is that the JNK pathway specific response lies in the combination of a JNKKK and an adaptor protein upstream of the JNKK. We previously showed that the Drosophila homolog of pRb (Rbf1) and a mutant form of Rbf1 (Rbf1D253A) have JNK-dependent pro-apoptotic properties. Rbf1D253A is also able to induce a JNK-dependent abnormal proliferation. Here, we show that Rbf1-induced apoptosis triggers proliferation which depends on the JNK pathway activation. Taking advantage of these phenotypes, we investigated the JNK signaling involved in either Rbf1-induced apoptosis or in proliferation in response to Rbf1-induced apoptosis. We demonstrated that 2 different JNK pathways involving different adaptor proteins and kinases are involved in Rbf1-apoptosis (i.e. Rac1-dTak1-dMekk1-JNK pathway) and in proliferation in response to Rbf1-induced apoptosis (i.e., dTRAF1-Slipper-JNK pathway). Using a transient induction of rbf1, we show that Rbf1-induced apoptosis activates a compensatory proliferation mechanism which also depends on Slipper and dTRAF1. Thus, these 2 proteins seem to be key players of compensatory proliferation in Drosophila.

description: Spiroaminals are an understudied class of heterocycle. Recently, the Barrett group reported a relatively mild approach to the most simple form of spiroaminal; 1,7-diazaspiro[5.5]undecane (I). This thesis consists of the development of novel synthetic methodologies towards the spiroaminal moiety. The first part of this thesis focuses on the synthesis of aliphatic derivatives of I through a variety of methods from the classic Barrett approach which utilises lactam II, through to de novo bidirectional approaches which utilise diphosphate V and a key Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reaction with aldehyde VI. The second part of this thesis concentrates on the synthesis of tetrahydrospirobiquinolines and their derivatives. The methodology developed utilises simple conditions, withstands a range of functional groups, and allows many substrates to be accessed under mild conditions. These compounds showed higher aminal stability relative to their aliphatic counterparts and were further derivatised by bromination, alkylation and cross-coupling techniques, all proceeding with the retention of the aminal centre. The final part of this thesis details theattempts to complex these newly isolated compounds to a variety of elementsacross the periodictable, as well asinitial investigations into their biological activities.

description: In the direct-seeding rice cultivation system, seedling vigour is one of the most important traits for stable stand establishment during early seedling stages, particularly under submergence that is caused by temporal flash flood. We studied the genetic diversity in a set of 40 Vietnamese lowland rice varieties using 30 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers covering all rice chromosomes. A total of 111 alleles were detected, with a mean of 3.7 alleles per locus. The number of polymorphic alleles detected by each SSR marker ranged from 2 to 6. The fragment size of a given SSR locus varied between 85 and 650 bp and the frequency of a major allele at each locus ranged from 32.5% to 76.9%. Polymorphism information content value varied from 0.355 to 0.774 with an average of 0.594. The genetic similarity calculated between pairs of rice varieties ranged from 0.03 to 0.97 with an average of 0.27. According to a constructed dendrogram of unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean based on the SSR marker analysis, the tested rice varieties were clustered into two major groups consisting of five subgroups. Significant correlations existed between the mean genetic similarity and the mean seedling vigour estimated by shoot length under submergence among the tested varieties. Our results suggested usefulness of the SSR marker system to assess genetic diversity in Vietnamese rice germplasms in relation to their seedling vigour under submergence.

description: The invasive freshwater mollusc Dreissena bugensis (quagga mussel) sticks to underwater surfaces via a proteinacious ‘anchor’ (byssus), consisting of a series of threads linked to adhesive plaques. This adhesion results in the biofouling of crucial underwater industry infrastructure, yet little is known about the proteins responsible for the adhesion. Here the identification of byssal proteins extracted from freshly secreted byssal material is described. Several new byssal proteins were observed by gel electrophoresis. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to characterize proteins in different regions of the byssus, particularly those localized to the adhesive interface. Byssal plaques and threads contain in common a range of low molecular weight proteins, while several proteins with higher mass were observed only in the plaque. At the adhesive interface, a plaque-specific ~8.1 kDa protein had a relative increase in signal intensity compared to the bulk of the plaque, suggesting it may play a direct role in adhesion.

Amyloid deposition, tau aggregation and microglial activation in Alzheimer's disease: a PET study
Creators: name: Dani, Melanie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Background The pathological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are still not fully understood. While amyloid (Aβ) deposition and tau aggregation are cardinal features, microglial activation is also an important component. However, the relationship between the three processes is widely debated. This study used positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to evaluate this relationship in a cohort of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) subjects. Methods Nineteen healthy controls, thirty-nine MCI and nineteen AD individuals had neuropsychological testing, MRI, 18F-flutemetamol and 11C-PBR28 PET. Eight controls, twenty-five MCI and eighteen AD individuals also had 18F-AV1451 PET. For 18F-flutemetamol and 18F-AV1451, target: cerebellar ratio images were used to calculate standardised uptake value ratio (SUVR) values. For 11C-PBR28, a two-tissue compartment model and Logan graphical analysis were used to determine volumes of distribution (VT). Group comparisons, and correlations between the tracers, were examined at regional and voxel level. Results 1) Mean 11C-PBR28 binding was significantly higher in the Aβ-positive MCI group compared to the controls at a voxel level, while there was no difference between AD and controls. However, 42% of Aβ-positive AD individuals had significantly higher binding than the healthy control mean+ 2 standard deviations 2) All three processes were correlated at a voxel level; microglial activation and tau aggregation were correlated in connected regions on analysis 3) Aβ and tau load were correlated at a voxel and regional level; in addition medial temporal lobe tau binding correlated with isocortical Aβ load 4) Certain Aβ-negative individuals also demonstrated significantly increased levels of microglial activation and tau aggregation compared with controls on single-subject analysis 11 Conclusions In this study examining inter-relationships between Aβ deposition, tau aggregation and microglial activation in MCI and AD, significant positive correlations were found between all three processes. These correlations were both local (overlapping voxels) and distant, suggesting communication via neuronal networks. The findings suggest that a therapeutic approach targeting all three processes may be needed.
