description: Centella asiatica (CA) is a valuable crop for herbal, cosmetic, and medicinal industries due to its rich triterpenoids, and saponins in leaves. The CA petioles, stem, and runners (CAP) are considered as crop residue and in this study for the first time CAP extract was used for Photo-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs). Further, the synthesis process was optimized using response surface methodology. Synthesized SNPs were highly stable (-30.8 eV), spherical, and cube shape with a crystallite size of 22.83 nm. Phytochemical screening, FTIR, and Raman studies confirmed the presence of bioactive functional groups on CAP SNPs. The CAP extract and its SNPs confirmed higher antioxidant activity compared to standard (Ascorbic acid). The results of hazardous dye degradation studies showed that percentage dye degradation was higher in methyl orange (1 min; 97.54%) followed by Congo red (4 min; 90.86%), methyl red (10 min; 97.66%), and Coomassie Brilliant Blue R-250 (30 min; 93.28%) with rate constant of 0.062/sec, 0.00062/sec, 0.0099/sec, and 0.0015/sec respectively.

Modelling of dephosphorization in oxygen steelmaking
Creators: name: Rout, Bapin Kumar
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A dynamic model based on the chemical thermodynamics and kinetics of reactions occurring in three different zones has been developed to predict the compositional evolution of slag and metal in a top blown steelmaking process. The fundamental process phenomena such as metal droplet ejection, the reaction of droplets in the slag-metal emulsion, slag-metal-gas equilibria were successfully incorporated in the mathematical model. The simulation results provide a comprehensive insight by quantitatively evaluating the influence of process dynamics on refining behaviour of impurities. The gathered fundamental understanding with the predictive tool should find application in the advanced process control of a steel refining process.

Future of Academic Scholarship

description: Alfred North Whitehead, mathematician and philosopher, believed universities should marshal all their resources toward the goal of creating a better world. Can campus libraries heed Whitehead’s call by co-creating the future in concert with their campus communities? In the digital age, academic libraries at two-year, four-year, and graduate-level institutions are evolving from the notion of book warehouses, breaking through their “edifice complex.” Librarians are turning outward toward their communities to reimagine their roles from a collection-centered to an engagement-focused model of service—“from publication as product to publication as process.” Scholars are also shifting their research practices and teaching methods as network-level services emerge to facilitate their work. They now ask a broader range of questions using a wider range of data and methods, as they disseminate results in multiple forms. “Researchers are drowning in a deluge of raw data and published information and face a bewildering array of options for disseminating and sharing their work.” What they often overlook, however, is the potential role academic librarians can play by partnering with them so they can more efficiently and effectively use new modes of research and publication, navigate copyright limitations, increase the impact of their publications, improve teaching and learning, manage their scholarly identity, and preserve their content into the future.

description: Reflecting back on half a century wandering the hallways of information policy, I think of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland . In policy wonderland, we encounter numerous tales, strange games, and many unknown creatures. We get lost in the forest, play games with the Queen, and testify at kangaroo courts. Over the past few decades, I traveled with library and information science ILIS) colleagues down the rabbit hole of information policy that has shifted from a disconnected domain of arcane specialists with strong ties to influential stakeholders working on a narrow array of issues to a highly connected land of information and communication analysts with weak ties to a broad collection of actors with overlapping concerns. We entered a place that morphed from narrowly defined to undefined rules, from clear to fuzzy boundaries, from singular to multiple points of control, and from limited to large sets of players. We reached for the key to open the door for the public to engage directly with policy makers. When we awake from our dream, we imagine a digital wonderland full of unprecedented possibilities for human creativity, global communication, innovation, and access to information. Yet this same land sends us down paths where strange creatures try to control our ideas and threaten to erode political discourse, scientific inquiry, free speech, and the creativity needed for a healthy democracy. We enter this adventure in pursuit of a fair and just information society, but along the way we face mad hatters, march hares, and dormice in our uphill climb to influence policy outcomes. In this mad dash, we pursue a strategy that advances innovation, stimulates creativity, and promotes the sharing of information.

description: To prevent coal spontaneous combustion in mines, it is paramount to understand O2 gas distribution under condition of inert gas injection into goaf. In this study, the goaf was modeled as a 3-D porous medium based on stress distribution. The variation of O2 distribution influenced by CO2 or N2 injection was simulated based on the multi-component gases transport and the Navier-Stokes equations using Fluent. The numerical results without inert gas injection were compared with field measurements to validate the simulation model. Simulations with inert gas injection show that CO2 gas mainly accumulates at the goaf floor level; however, a notable portion of N2 gas moves upward. The evolution of the spontaneous combustion risky zone with continuous inert gas injection can be classified into three phases: slow inerting phase, rapid accelerating inerting phase, and stable inerting phase. The asphyxia zone with CO2 injection is about 1.25~2.4 times larger than that with N2 injection. The efficacy of preventing and putting out mine fires is strongly related with the inert gas injecting position. Ideal injections are located in the oxidation zone or the transitional zone between oxidation zone and heat dissipation zone.

 Comentario:
  Los ejemplares ibéricos de Barcelona, Cantabria y León son asignables a la var. puncticollis Seidlitz. Español (1964) no se pronuncia sobre la validez de esta forma por falta de material. En mejores condiciones, gracias a la aportación de numerosos colegas, nosotros pensamos que la variedad puncticollis Seidlitz debe ser elevada a rango específico, dadas las diferencias notables que presenta de talla, en el pronoto y, sobre todo, del edeago, del ovipositor, así como la venación y forma de las alas. No puede confundirse con L. atripes de Francia, que es una especie de talla mayor que L. hirta. El pronoto es transverso, de lados subparalelos e imperceptiblemente punteado, sin escultura, salvo algunos gránulos esparcidos. El escutelo es negro y los élitros generalmente de color marrón amarillento, a veces más oscuros. Lagria puncticollis Seidlitz stat. nov. es menor que L. atripes, presentando la talla de L. hirta y una fuerte puntuación pronotal. La venación de las alas, con tejido más compacto y nervios mucho más largos que L. hirta, indica su validez específica.

description: Organohalide respiration is an important process in the global halogen cycle and for bioremediation. In this study, we compared the global transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of Desulfoluna spongiiphila strain AA1, an organohalide-respiring member of the Desulfobacterota isolated from a marine sponge, with 2,6-dibromophenol or with sulfate as an electron acceptor. The most significant difference of the transcriptomic analysis was the expression of one reductive dehalogenase gene cluster (rdh16), which was significantly upregulated with the addition of 2,6-dibromophenol. The corresponding protein, reductive dehalogenase RdhA16032, was detected in the proteome under treatment with 2,6-dibromophenol but not with sulfate only. There was no significant difference in corrinoid biosynthesis gene expression levels between the two treatments, indicating that the production of corrinoid in D. spongiiphila is constitutive or not specific for organohalide versus sulfate respiration. Electron-transporting proteins or mediators unique for reductive dehalogenation were not revealed in our analysis, and we hypothesize that reductive dehalogenation may share an electron-transporting system with sulfate reduction. The metabolism of D. spongiiphila, predicted from transcriptomic and proteomic results, demonstrates high metabolic versatility and provides insights into the survival strategies of a marine sponge symbiont in an environment rich in organohalide compounds and other secondary metabolites.

description: Dividing the consumer's decision process into smaller units enables the design of marketing programs that target one or more of these units. It is proposed here that quick choices -- yes-no decisions concerning whether or not to enact an initiating idea -- are decision-process units that correspond more closely than previous systems of units to the form of natural decision making. Because these units have a simple common structure, they can be easily conceptualized and used. At the same time, a diversity of types of quick choices can be described, thus enabling the marketer to use a more detailed analysis of the consumer decision process.

description: Clinical studies indicate alternate day, intermittent fasting (IMF) protocols result in meaningful weight loss in obese individuals. To further understand the mechanisms sustaining weight loss by IMF, we investigated the metabolic and neural alterations of IMF in obese mice. Male C57/BL6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD; 45% fat) ad libitum for 8 weeks to promote an obese phenotype. Mice were divided into 4 groups and either maintained on ad libitum HFD (HFD), received alternate day access to HFD (IMF- HFD), switched to ad libitum low fat diet (LFD; 10% fat), or received IMF of LFD (IMF- LFD). After 4 weeks, IMF-HFD (~13%) and IMF-LFD (~18%) had significantly lower body weights than HFD. Body fat was also lower (~40-52%) in all diet interventions. Lean mass was increased in the IMF-LFD (~12-13%) compared with HFD and IMF-HFD groups. Oral glucose tolerance AUC was lower in the IMF-HFD (~50%), whereas insulin tolerance AUC was reduced in all diet interventions (~22-42%). HPLC measurements of hypothalamic tissue homogenates indicated higher (~55-60%) norepinephrine (NE) content in the anterior regions of the medial hypothalamus of IMF compared with ad libitum fed groups, whereas NE content was higher (~19-32%) in posterior regions in the IMF-LFD group only. Relative gene expression of Npy in the arcuate nucleus was increased (~65-75%) in IMF groups. Our novel findings indicate that intermittent fasting produces alterations in hypothalamic NE and NPY, suggesting an involvement in the counter regulatory processes of short-term weight loss are associated with an IMF dietary strategy.

The Sydney Radio Star Catalogue and radio variability of cool dwarfs
Creators: name: Driessen, Laura
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: I will present a new catalogue of 839 radio stars detected at <3 GHz: the Sydney Radio Star Catalogue (SRSC). Approximately half of the stars in the catalogue have multiple radio detections, revealing information about the variability of radio stars. Many of the stars are K and M dwarfs, as well as some ultra-cool dwarfs. The previous best-known radio star catalogue, the Wendker catalogue, contained ~200 radio stars detected at <3 GHz. This means that the population, properties and variability of radio stars are not well known. If a star is detected in the radio this provides information about the chromosphere, the magnetic fields and potential impact on orbiting exoplanets. Stellar radio variability tells us more about these properties, as well as rotational velocities, different emission mechanisms, and activity cycles. For example, the Variables and Slow Transients (VAST) survey with the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP) has been observing Galactic Fields every few weeks for more than a year and will continue to do so for three more years. VAST provides unprecedented monitoring for stars in those fields. I will present properties of the population of radio stars in the SRSC and the light curve variability of individual cool stars. We are excited to share the potential of radio observations to reveal properties of the radio star population and to study individual objects.

 Comentario:
  La colección de Desbrochers des Loges se encuentra conservada en el Hunterian Museum of Zoology de la Universidad de Glasgow (HUMZ), que hemos visitado en dos ocasiones. A pesar de no haber localizado ejemplares típicos, creemos que se trata de una buena especie, al parecer endémica del norte de África occidental. Especie rara y bien diferente de la L. lata de la Península Ibérica, como se constata simplemente leyendo su descripción. In visu son inconfundibles, a pesar del habitus algo semejante, por la fuerte escultura rugosa elitral. Comparando los machos de ambas especies, se separan fácilmente por el pronoto (Figs. 86 cf. 89), el edeago (Figs. 66-67 cf. 56-60), el ovipositor (Fig. 70 cf. 60), por las metatibias menos recurvadas (Figs. 94 cf. 95) y por el ̇ltimo antenómero, proporcionalmente mucho más corto y grueso en L. rugata que en L. lata (Figs. 68 cf. 58). Saltan a la vista diferencias muy llamativas, como el pronoto completamente mate en vez de brillante, con los lados subrectos en vez de salientes hacia afuera, y la existencia de puntos en vez de gránulos confluentes entre las arrugas elitrales, que bastan para distinguir L. rugata de L. lata. Ambas especies fueron reconocidas como válidas por entomólogos experimentados como Escalera (1914) y Peyerimhoff (obs. pers. no publicada, fide Kocher, 1956). Su convivencia en Marruecos no permite tampoco su tratamiento como razas o vicariantes geográficas. La sinonimia de rugata y lata propuesta por Viñolas & Cartagena (2005) no tiene apoyo en la morfología ni en el análisis molecular (ADN).

description: This study examines how compulsive buying behavior, which has a destructive effect on its sufferers, differs according to demographic variables and product types. According to the findings, in general, women, singles, and youngsters have a higher compulsive buying tendency than men, married ones, and the older population. Women have a higher compulsive buying tendency than men in fashion, cosmetics, supermarket, home, and hobby products, while men have the same tendency for automotive and sports products. According to the evaluation on marital status, singles have a higher compulsive buying tendency than married ones for fashion, cosmetics, electronics, sports, hobbies, and entertainment products. In contrast, married ones tend to buy baby care and garden products compulsively. From this point of view, it can be said that compulsive buying behavior may differ according to product groups and demographic variables.

 Material examinado:
 La colección de F. Guillebeau (MNHN) posee tres hembras de Argelia, que probablemente sean los sintipos de Desbrochers des Loges, que no hemos podido localizar en otra colección.
 Comentario:
  Los ejemplares asignados a esta especie por Guillebeau (MNHN) no permiten una posible sinonimia con L. hirta sino, en todo caso, con L limbata. Es tratada como buena especie por Merkl (2008), de acuerdo tanto con el catálogo de Borchmann (1910), como con su monografía (Borchmann, 1937), criterio que debe respetarse hasta la revisión de las Lagria del norte de Africa, asimiladas a priori a L. hirta. Tarea que, siendo muy necesaria, sobrepasa los límites de este estudio.

description: Research about the sexual exploitation of homeless and street-involved boys is limited and often combined with that of girls. As aggregation can distort unique issues among genders which are exploited, this study provides information about the context of exploitation for homeless boys. Boys participated in the anonymous, multi-city British Columbia (BC), Canada Homeless and Street-Involved Youth Health paper surveys of 2006 and 2014. Measures included questions about trading sex for money, shelter, or other consideration; age first exploited; for whom; where they were living when first traded sex; gender of exploiters; and demographics. Analyses, separately for younger/older boys, explored the prevalence, timing of exploitation vs. homelessness, and ANOVAs to evaluate the patterns of the age of first exploitation by the genders of exploiters. Just over one in four boys reported exploitation (n = 132), with a median age of 14–15 in most groups. Most were runaway or homeless before their first exploitation, but 25.5% (2006) and 41% (2014) were living with family. Most boys were exploited by women (78%–85%), with 62%–65% were exclusively exploited by women.

description: High thermal conductivity electronic components with low interfacial thermal resistance are of technological importance and fundamental interest of research. Diamond, a superhard material with ultrahigh thermal conductivity at room temperature, is desirable for microelectronics thermal management. Cubic polymorph of boron nitride (c-BN) is a promising material due to wide bandgap and diamond like structure and properties. To understand the nature in thermal transport of diamond, c-BN and the most commonly used silicon (Si) semiconductor, ab initio phonon Boltzmann transport equations are employed to investigate lattice vibrational properties of these three materials. At 300 K, the predicted thermal conductivity of Si, diamond and c-BN reached 142, 2112, and 736 W/(m·K), respectively. What's more, heat transport phenomena across the interfaces of Si/diamond, c-BN/diamond and Si/c-BN are unfolded. In comparison, the interfacial thermal conductance of c-BN/diamond is ten-fold of Si/diamond; besides, the thermal conductance across Si/c-BN interface is 20.2% larger than that of Si/diamond at 300 K and 18.9% larger at 340 K. These findings provide us new vision and potential solution to heat dissipation of high-local-power density devices, shedding light on future thermal management of c-BN and diamond related electronics.
Investigating the Form-Meaning Mapping in the Acquisition of English and Japanese Measure Phrase Comparatives

description: We present a set of experiments investigating how English- and Japanese-speaking children interpret Measure Phrase comparatives (e.g., X is 10 meters taller than Y / X-wa Y-yori 10-meters takai). We show that despite overt cues to the comparative interpretation (i.e., the comparative -er morpheme in English, and explicit linguistic and visual reference to a contextual standard), children representing both languages diverge from their adult counterparts in that they access a non-adult-like ‘absolute measurement’ interpretation (i.e., X is 10 meters tall). We propose to account for their response pattern by appealing to proposals by Svenonius and Kennedy (2006) and Sawada and Grano (2011) that Meas in the head of the DegP, which houses the differential, selects for an absolute minimal value: zero. We argue that young children appeal to this absolute zero minimum in lieu of the correct derived standard, and must learn to override this value by appealing to the context to set the standard of comparison when interpretation requires them to do so.

description: The applicability of the collocation spectral method (CSM) for solving nonlinear heat transfer problem is demonstrated in a convective-radiative fin with temperature-dependent properties. In this method, the fin temperature distribution is approximated by Lagrange interpolation polynomials at spectral collocation points. The differential form of the energy equation is transformed to a matrix form of algebraic equations. The computational convergence of the CSM approximately follows an exponential decaying law; and thus, it is a very simple and effective approach for a rapid assessment of nonlinear physical problems. The effects of temperature-dependent properties such as thermal conductivity, surface emissivity, heat transfer coefficient, convection-conduction parameter, and radiation-conduction parameter on the fin temperature distribution and efficiency are discussed.

description: Decentralized wastewater treatment systems enable wastewater to be treated at the source for cleaner discharge into the environment, protecting public health while allowing for reuse for agricultural and other purposes. This study, conducted in Thailand, investigated a decentralized wastewater treatment system incorporating a physical and photochemical process. Domestic wastewater from a university campus and conventional septic tank effluent from a small community were filtered through a woven-fiber microfiltration (WFMF) membrane as pretreatment for ultraviolet (UV) disinfection. In domestic wastewater, WFMF reduced TSS (by 79.8%), turbidity (76.5%), COD (38.5%), and NO₃ (41.4%), meeting Thailand irrigation standards for every parameter except BOD. In septic tank effluent, it did not meet Thailand irrigation standards, but reduced TSS (by 77.9%), COD (37.6%), and TKN (13.5%). Bacteria (total coliform and Escherichia coli) and viruses (MS2 bacteriophage) passing through the membrane were disinfected by flow-through UV reactors containing either a low-pressure mercury lamp or light-emitting diodes (LEDs) emitting an average peak wavelength of 276 nm. Despite challenging and variable water quality conditions (2% < UVT < 88%), disinfection was predictable across water types and flow rates for both UV sources using combined variable modeling, which enabled us to estimate log inactivation of other microorganisms. Following UV disinfection, wastewater quality met the WHO standards for unrestricted irrigation.

description: One new isoflavone, 6′-dihydroxy-2-methyl-2′-methoxyl-3′-acetylisoflavone (1) and six known compounds (2−7) were isolated from the processed root barks of Paeonia suffruticosa. The structures of these compounds were elucidated using UV, IR, NMR, and HR-ESI-MS data. Compound 1 represents the first example of naturally occurring 2-substituted isoflavone. Compounds 2−7 were isolated from the processed root barks of P. suffruticosa for the first time. In addition, all of the compounds were screened for their procoagulant activity. As a result, compounds 4, 6, and 7 showed significantly in vitro procoagulant activity.
