description: In libraries without an accessibility specialist on staff, it can feel daunting to even begin work on creating accessible (or remediating inaccessible) digital content. This presentation will discuss how seeding and growing a culture of accessibility--in institutions of all sizes--can be an effective strategy for sustainably undertaking this critical work. My experiences include working within a consortial community of practice targeted at growing participant competencies and developing resources for adoption across member libraries. At my own library, I have helped develop an accessibility-first mindset through coordinating ongoing no-cost staff trainings, creating policy documentation, and building relationships with our campus accessibility leaders.

description: © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Quantifying residue carbon (C) incorporation into soil organic C (SOC) fractions, and underpinning microbial community in the decomposition process of crop residues are essential for improving SOC management in agricultural systems. However, the fate of residue-C and associated responses of microbial communities remain unclear in Mollisols in north-eastern China, where SOC varies geographically. A 150-day incubation experiment was conducted with 13C-labelled soybean residue (4%) amended into two Mollisols differing in SOC (SOC-poor and SOC-rich soils). The 13C abundances in SOC fractions and the CO2–C efflux from soil were determined, and bacterial community composition was analyzed with MiSeq sequencing. The amounts of residue-C incorporated into the coarse particulate organic C (POC), fine POC and mineral-associated C (MOC) fractions were 4.5-, 4.3- and 2.4-fold higher in the SOC-rich soil than in the SOC-poor soil, respectively. Residue amendment led to negative SOC priming before Day 50 but positive priming thereafter. The primed CO2 per unit of native SOC was greater in the SOC-poor soil than in the SOC-rich soil. This indicates that the contributions of residue-C to the POC and MOC fractions were greater in the SOC-rich soil while residue amendment had stronger priming effect in the SOC-poor soil, stimulating the C exchange rate between fresh and native SOC. A principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) showed that the shift of bacterial community structure in response to residue amendment varied between the two soils. Genera Verrucosispora, Xanthomonadales and Steroidobacter were mainly enriched in the residue-amended SOC-poor soil while Anaerolineaceae_uncultured was dominant in the SOC-rich soil. The canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) revealed that the relative abundance of the bacterial operational taxonomic unit (OTU) among residue treatments was significantly associated with soil characteristics, especially C content in coarse POC and MOC fractions (p

description: © 2017, Springer International Publishing Switzerland. Background and aims: Aggregate formation and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) differ in different farming systems, probably due to differences in effects of tillage and residue management. This study used a 24-year field experiment to compare the effects of continuous maize cropping and natural fallow on aggregate formation and SOC storage in various aggregate-size classes and density fractions of a Chinese Mollisol. Methods: Soils collected from the upper 0.2-m layer were wet-sieved into four aggregate-size classes (>2, 0.25–2, 0.053–0.25 and <0.053 mm) which were then fractionated into light, occluded and mineral C fractions. The concentrations of SOC and natural 13C abundance of each fraction in bulk soil and the aggregate classes were determined. Results: Continuous maize cropping decreased the proportion of macro-aggregates (>0.25 mm) and increased that of micro-aggregates (<0.25 mm) compared to the initial value while the opposite was observed in the natural fallow system. The fallow system generally had greater SOC concentration in the occluded fraction, higher proportion of newly-derived C as % total SOC in the light fraction and greater contribution of total residue C to new C in macro-aggregates and light fractions compared to the continuous maize system. Furthermore, the fallow system resulted in shorter turnover time of SOC than the continuous maize system. Conclusions: Natural fallow associated with autumn-plough improved soil structural stability and SOC storage while continuous maize cropping with residue removal decreased SOC sequestration and soil aggregate stability.

description: This study explores the performance of startups led by entrepreneurs who possess creativity as a key asset, applying the Creative Class Theory (CCT) to firm-level analysis. While CCT has been extensively utilized to understand regional economic performance, its application to the micro-level dynamics remains limited. Using data from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics II (PSED-II), this research examines how including entrepreneurs with creative occupational backgrounds impacts startup outcomes. The analysis considers four performance indicators: firm survival, time to hire the first employee, the number of employees hired, and time to reach profitability. To analyze these outcomes, Cox proportional hazards models were employed to assess the timing of these key events. Additionally, zero-inflated binomial regressions were applied to handle employment data. Results show that entrepreneurial teams with more creative members accelerate job creation and, potentially, achieve higher employment levels but no effects on survival or profitability were found. This study emphasizes that tacit knowledge derived from creative occupations significantly influences startups’ employment outcomes, extending the understanding of human capital beyond traditional formal-education-based metrics. By identifying the specific contributions of creative entrepreneurs, the findings offer valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance employment and innovation through tailored support for creative talent.

Residues differing in quality and carbon (C) chemistry are presumed to contribute differently to soil pH change and long-term soil organic carbon (SOC) pools. This study examined the liming effect of different crop residues (canola, chickpea and wheat) down the soil profile (0–30 cm) in two sandy soils differing in initial pH as well as the long-term stability of SOC at the amended layer (0–10 cm) using mid-infrared (MIR) and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. A field column experiment was conducted for 48 months. Chickpea- and canola-residue amendments increased soil pH at 0–10 cm in the Podzol by up to 0.47 and 0.36 units, and in the Cambisol by 0.31 and 0.18 units, respectively, at 48 months when compared with the non-residue-amended control. The decomposition of crop residues was greatly retarded in the Podzol with lower initial soil pH during the first 9 months. The MIR-predicted particulate organic C (POC) acted as the major C sink for residue-derived C in the Podzol. In contrast, depletion of POC and recovery of residue C in MIR-predicted humic organic C (HOC) were detected in the Cambisol within 3 months. Residue types showed little impact on total SOC and its chemical composition in the Cambisol at 48 months, in contrast to the Podzol. The final HOC and resistant organic C (ROC) pools in the Podzol amended with canola and chickpea residues were about 25% lower than the control. This apparent priming effect might be related to the greater liming effect of these two residues in the Podzol.

description: The endocyclic ring expansion of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) rings by transition metal (group 12) and main group (group 13–16) element hydrides has been investigated in a computational study. In addition to previously reported insertion reactivity with Si, B, Be and Zn, similar reactivity is predicted to be feasible for heavier group 13 elements (Al, Ga, In, Tl), with the reaction barriers for Al–Tl calculated to be lower than for boron. Insertion is not expected with group 15–16 element hydrides, as the initial adduct formation is thermodynamically unfavorable. The reaction pathway with group 12 hydrides is calculated to be more favorable with two NHCs rather than a single NHC (analogous to Be), however hydride ring insertion with metal dihydrides is not feasible, but rather a reduced NHC is thermodynamically favored. For group 14, ring-insertion reactivity is predicted to be feasible with the heavier dihydrides. Trends in reactivity of element hydrides may be related to the protic or hydridic character of the element hydrides.

description: To make decisions that lead to favorable outcomes, animals have to consider both their perceptual uncertainty as well as uncertainty about the outcomes of their actions, such as reinforcements. There is a long tradition of research investigating how the reinforcement structure of a task controls animals’ response behavior. The relation between reinforcement and response rates has been described by the matching law and its generalizations for tasks with and without perceptual uncertainty. The influence of perceptual uncertainty on decision behavior is traditionally modeled with signal detection theory, which posits that a decision criterion is placed on an internal evidence axis. Where this criterion is placed and how it is updated based on reinforcements are open questions within signal detection theory. Various criterion learning models have been proposed; however, their steady-state behavior across different experimental conditions is not consistent with the aforementioned empirical matching laws. Here, we integrate models of criterion learning from signal detection theory with matching laws from animal learning theory to gain a better understanding of the mechanisms by which reinforcements and perceptual uncertainty jointly shape behavior. To do so, we first derive the criterion position that leads to behavior aligned with those laws. We then develop a model that updates the decision criterion trial by trial to learn this criterion position. Our model fits data from a previous experiment well and generates behavior in simulations that is in line with matching laws for perceptual tasks and the subjects’ behavior in the experiment.

description: © 2017 Elsevier Ltd
In this paper, a simple beam theory accounting for shear deformation effects with one unknown is proposed for static bending and free vibration analysis of isotropic nanobeams. The size-dependent behaviour is captured by using the nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen. The governing equation of the present beam theory is obtained by using equilibrium equations of elasticity theory. The present theory has strong similarities with nonlocal Euler–Bernoulli beam theory in terms of the governing equation and boundary conditions. Analytical solutions for static bending and free vibration are derived for nonlocal beams with various types of boundary conditions. Verification studies indicate that the present theory is not only more accurate than Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, but also comparable with Timoshenko beam theory.

description:
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses risks to pregnant women and their infants. The spread of misinformation about COVID-19 vaccination is a barrier to optimizing vaccination rates among women of childbearing age. We conducted an environmental scan to identify misinformation about COVID-19 vaccination, pregnancy, and fertility, and a review to identify evidence to refute misinformation and strategies to correct and prevent the spread of misinformation. Seven identified themes of misinformation are: the vaccine causes female infertility; can cause miscarriage; and can decrease male fertility; mRNA vaccines attack the placenta; pregnant and breastfeeding persons should not get the vaccine; the vaccine can change menstrual cycles; and vaccinated people can spread infertility symptoms to unvaccinated people. Strategies that can be implemented by social media platforms to help prevent misinformation spread and correct existing health misinformation include improving information regulation by modifying community standards, implementing surveillance algorithms, and applying warning labels to potentially misleading posts. Health services organizations and clinicians can implement health misinformation policies, directly recommend vaccinations, provide credible explanations and resources to debunk misinformation, educate patients and populations on spotting misinformation, and apply effective communication strategies. More research is needed to assess longer-term effects of vaccination among women of childbearing age to strengthen the defense against misinformation and to evaluate strategies that aim to prevent and correct misinformation spread about COVID-19 vaccinations.

In the present study, 13 Nylanderia species and morphospecies are recorded for Hong Kong, with nine new records, one species having their record confirmed for the region (i.e., Nylanderia indica (Forel, 1894)), and two species having their record ascribed as dubious (i.e., N. bourbonica and N. vividula) (Table 1). Of the nine new records, two of them were not possible to ascribe to valid species names, so we treated them as morphospecies (i.e. Nylanderia IBBL-01 and Nylanderia IBBL-02). We also recorded eight Nylanderia species and morphospecies for Macao, four of them being considered new records; two of them were from valid species names, while the other two were from morphospecies. The list of all records can be found at Table 1.

description: This paper proposes a new simple shear deformation theory for isotropic plates. The present theory involves one unknown and one governing equation as in the classical plate theory, but it is capable of accurately capturing shear deformation effects. The displacement field of the present theory was based on a two variable refined plate theory in which the transverse displacement is partitioned into the bending and shear parts. Based on the equilibrium equations of three-dimensional (3D) elasticity theory, the relationship between the bending and shear parts was established. Therefore, the number of unknowns of the present theory was reduced from two to one. Closed-form solutions were presented for both Navier- and Levy-type plates. Numerical results indicate that the obtained predictions are comparable with those generated by ABAQUS and available results predicted by 3D elasticity theory, first-order and third-order shear deformation theories.

description: © 2017, Springer International Publishing Switzerland. Background and aims: Legume break crops provide a series of agronomic benefits to the following wheat crop in a rotation. Phosphorus-efficient break-crop plants can mobilise P from non-labile pools in the soil and this could be made available to wheat plants after the decomposition of the break-crop residues. This study aimed to examine the contribution to P uptake by wheat plants, of residues from five different break crops with different maturities and C:P ratios. Methods: Wheat plants were grown in a soil that varied in P status (Olsen P 7 to 30 mg kg−1) and was labelled with 32P and amended with crop residues at a rate of 1% (w/w). Soil and plant samples were taken after 42 days of plant growth. Wheat plants were analysed for growth and P uptake. Soil samples were analysed for P availability and microbial P content. Results: Wheat growth was suppressed with the addition of residues to the soil, with P uptake closely related to shoot growth. The residue-P contribution ranged between 5 and 52% of the P taken up by wheat plants. The amount of P transferred from the residues to the wheat ranged between 6 and 15% of total residue P. Microbial P increased 2-fold in the low- and moderate-P soils with the addition of residues. Conclusions: The transfer of P from break-crop residues to the wheat plant (as % total residue P) is small in the short term regardless of residue quality and soil P status but incorporating residues increased the microbial P uptake in low- and moderate-P soils.

description: © 2017 The Authors. Molecular Ecology Resources Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd. Effective vector and arbovirus surveillance requires timely and accurate screening techniques that can be easily upscaled. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput technology that has the potential to modernize vector surveillance. When combined with DNA barcoding, it is termed ‘metabarcoding.’ The aim of our study was to establish a metabarcoding protocol to characterize pools of mosquitoes and screen them for virus. Pools contained 100 morphologically identified individuals, including one Ross River virus (RRV) infected mosquito, with three species present at different proportions: 1, 5, 94%. Nucleic acid extracted from both crude homogenate and supernatant was used to amplify a 269-bp section of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) locus. Additionally, a 67-bp region of the RRV E2 gene was amplified from synthesized cDNA to screen for RRV. Amplicon sequencing was performed using an Illumina MiSeq, and bioinformatic analysis was performed using a DNA barcode database of Victorian mosquitoes. Metabarcoding successfully detected all mosquito species and RRV in every positive sample tested. The limits of species detection were also examined by screening a pool of 1000 individuals, successfully identifying the species and RRV from a single mosquito. The primers used for amplification, number of PCR cycles and total number of individuals present all have effects on the quantification of species in mixed bulk samples. Based on the results, a number of recommendations for future metabarcoding studies are presented. Overall, metabarcoding shows great promise for providing a new alternative approach to screening large insect surveillance trap catches.

Avipoxvirus infections have been found in a wide range of bird species worldwide, however, very little is known about the disease ecology of avian poxviruses in seabirds. Here we present two novel avipoxviruses from pacific shearwaters (Ardenna spp), one from a Flesh-footed Shearwater (A. carneipes) (SWPV-1) and the other from a Wedge-tailed Shearwater (A. pacificus) (SWPV-2). Results: Epidermal pox lesions, liver, and blood samples were examined from A. carneipes and A. pacificus of breeding colonies in eastern Australia. After histopathological confirmation of the disease, PCR screening was conducted for avipoxvirus, circovirus, reticuloendotheliosis virus, and fungal agents. Two samples that were PCR positive for poxvirus were further assessed by next generation sequencing, which yielded complete Shearwaterpox virus (SWPV) genomes from A. pacificus and A. carneipes, both showing the highest degree of similarity with Canarypox virus (98% and 67%, respectively). The novel SWPV-1 complete genome from A. carneipes is missing 43 genes compared to CNPV and contains 4 predicted genes which are not found in any other poxvirus, whilst, SWPV-2 complete genome was deemed to be missing 18 genes compared to CNPV and a further 15 genes significantly fragmented as to probably cause them to be non-functional. Conclusion: These are the first avipoxvirus complete genome sequences that infect marine seabirds. In the comparison of SWPV-1 and -2 to existing avipoxvirus sequences, our results indicate that the SWPV complete genome from A. carneipes (SWPV-1) described here is not closely related to any other avipoxvirus genome isolated from avian or other natural host species, and that it likely should be considered a separate species.

description: We report the first example of an alkene with two carbon-bound substituents (imidazole and imidazolium rings) where the Z-isomer has a greater thermodynamic stability than the E-isomer which persists in both the gas phase and in solution. Theoretical calculations, solution fluorescence spectroscopy and gas-phase ion mobility mass spectrometry studies confirm the preference for the Z-isomer, the stability of which is traced to a non-covalent interaction between the imidazole lone pair and the imidazolium ring.

description: Background: This article describes the design of a parallel-group, participant- and assessor-blinded randomised controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of shoe-stiffening inserts versus sham shoe insert(s) for reducing pain associated with first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Ninety participants with first MTPJ OA will be randomised to receive full-length shoe-stiffening insert(s) (Carbon Fibre Spring Plate, Paris Orthotics, Vancouver, BC, Canada) plus rehabilitation therapy or sham shoe insert(s) plus rehabilitation therapy. Outcome measures will be obtained at baseline, 4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks; the primary endpoint for assessing effectiveness being 12 weeks. The primary outcome measure will be the foot pain domain of the Foot Health Status Questionnaire (FHSQ). Secondary outcome measures will include the function domain of the FHSQ, severity of first MTPJ pain (using a 100-mm Visual Analogue Scale), global change in symptoms (using a 15-point Likert scale), health status (using the Short-Form-12® Version 2.0 and EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L™) questionnaires), use of rescue medication and co-interventions, self-reported adverse events and physical activity levels (using the Incidental and Planned Activity Questionnaire). Data will be analysed using the intention-to-treat principle. Economic analysis (cost-effectiveness and cost-utility) will also be performed. In addition, the kinematic effects of the interventions will be examined at 1 week using a three-dimensional motion analysis system and multisegment foot model. Discussion: This study will determine whether shoe-stiffening inserts are a cost-effective intervention for relieving pain associated with first MTPJ OA. The biomechanical analysis will provide useful insights into the mechanism of action of the shoe-stiffening inserts.

No commercial use is permitted unless otherwise expressly granted. Background Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) is more prevalent than previously thought and contributes to patient's suffering from knee OA. Synthesis of prevalence data can provide estimates of the burden of PF OA. Objective This study aims to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the prevalence of PF OA and structural damage based on radiography and MRI studies in different populations. Methods We searched six electronic databases and reference lists of relevant cross-sectional and observational studies reporting the prevalence of PF OA. Two independent reviewers appraised methodological quality. Where possible, data were pooled using the following categories: radiography and MRI studies. Results Eighty-five studies that reported the prevalence of patellofemoral OA and structural damage were included in this systematic review. Meta-analysis revealed a high prevalence of radiographic PF OA in knee pain or symptomatic knee OA (43%), radiographic knee OA or at risk of developing OA (48%) and radiographic and symptomatic knee OA (57%) cohorts. The MRI-defined structural PF damage in knee pain or symptomatic population was 32% and 52% based on bone marrow lesion and cartilage defect, respectively. Conclusion One half of people with knee pain or radiographic OA have patellofemoral involvement. Prevalence of MRI findings was high in symptomatic and asymptomatic population. These pooled data and the variability found can provide evidence for future research addressing risk factors and treatments for PF OA.

ASSESSING THE POTENTIAL FOR CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN DEPLETED HEAVY OIL RESERVOIRS USING ACOUSTIC LOGGING

description: As global warming due to anthropogenic greenhouse gases, notably carbon dioxide threatens to take a catastrophic dimension, geological storage of carbon dioxide has been widely accepted as a technically and economically viable remediation strategy. Consequently, targeted geological repositories are saline aquifers, salt caverns, deep unmineable coal seams and depleted oil and gas reservoirs. For storage in depleted oil reservoirs, the stratigraphic trapping capability of overlying low permeability shale is the principal motivating factor for long term containment of anthropogenic gas in oil reservoir until its dissolution and final immobilization by mineral carbonation reactions. Consequently, where the development of the oil reservoir by thermal recovery can lead to thermal pressurization of the cap rock layer, the ability of such a depleted reservoir to contain anthropogenic carbon dioxide must be thoroughly investigated to assess its competency as a proposed geological repository. In this study, seismic theory coupled with that of heat transfer has been used to derive interval velocity for a heavy oil reservoir under thermal recovery. The resulting equation has been validated using published works from literature sources.

Dedifferentiation describes a shift away from regarding cognitive impairments as the origin of difficulties experienced by people with intellectual disabilities and, instead, regarding their difficulties as socially produced and common to all people with disabilities. This article reviews research evidence concerning the advantages and disadvantages of dedifferentiated policy and service systems for people with intellectual disabilities, the bulk of which addresses education and health service systems. Advantages of dedifferentiation include its avoidance of assumptions about homogeneity, and the stigma of being labelled intellectually disabled; and its support for strong collectives and advocacy that enable people with all types of disabilities to live in the presence of others. For young children, dedifferentiated school and mental health services have positive outcomes not found in similar services for older children and adults. Disadvantages of dedifferentiation include inaccurate or absent representations of unique needs arising from intellectual disability, failure to reduce marginalisation, poor-quality non-specialist mainstream secondary education and health services, and deteriorations in social care. Arguments that dichotomies such as dedifferentiation/differentiation encourage simplification and misconception are reviewed: instead, twenty-first-century thinking negotiates between diverse parties and perspectives. The article makes the case for treating people with intellectual disabilities as members of the broad disability group wherever possible, and for protecting and developing differentiated opportunities, services and research whenever necessary. This requires policymakers and practitioners to balance conflicting ideas more effectively, but it also requires reflection and debate that allow new conceptual tools to emerge. The article concludes by posing three questions intended to encourage reconceptualisation.
