description: The hydrodynamic performance of a sea-going ship varies over its lifespan due to factors like marine fouling and the condition of the anti-fouling paint system. In order to accurately estimate the power demand and fuel consumption for a planned voyage, it is important to assess the hydrodynamic performance of the ship. The current work uses machine-learning (ML) methods to estimate the hydrodynamic performance of a ship using the onboard recorded in-service data. Three ML methods, NL-PCR, NL-PLSR and probabilistic ANN, are calibrated using the data from two sister ships. The calibrated models are used to extract the varying trend in ship's hydrodynamic performance over time and predict the change in performance through several propeller and hull cleaning events. The predicted change in performance is compared with the corresponding values estimated using the fouling friction coefficient ($ΔC_F$). The ML methods are found to be performing well while modelling the hydrodynamic state variables of the ships with probabilistic ANN model performing the best, but the results from NL-PCR and NL-PLSR are not far behind, indicating that it may be possible to use simple methods to solve such problems with the help of domain knowledge.

description: The quasi-two-dimensional organic semiconductor α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 [BEDT-TTF=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene] has an anisotropic linear dispersion with a zero energy gap near the Fermi level. Owing to the vanishing density of states at the Fermi level, the Coulomb interaction is unscreened in this material. We theoretically study the effect of the long-range Coulomb interaction and the low-energy/long-wavelength behavior of α-(BEDT-TTF)2I3 using the renormalization group analysis. The nearly logarithmic enhancement of the velocity reshapes tilted Dirac cones, and changes the low-temperature behavior. We also show the theoretical calculation for the site-selective spin susceptibility, which can be measured in an NMR experiment.

description: It is known that theory of MOND with spherical symmetry cannot account for the convergence $κ$-map of Bullet Cluster 1E0657-558. In this paper, we try to set up a Finslerian MOND, a generalization of MOND in Finsler spacetime. We use $Ric=0$ to obtain the gravitational vacuum field equation in a four-dimensional Finsler spacetime. To leading order in the post-Newtonian approximation, we obtain the explicit form of the Finslerian line element. It is simply the Schwarzschild's metric except for the Finslerian rescaling coefficient $f(v)$ of the radial coordinate $r$, i.e. $R=f(v(r))r$. By setting $f(v(r))=(1-\sqrt{a_0r^2/GM})^{-1}$, we obtain the famous MOND in a Finslerian framework. Taking a dipole and a quadrupole term into consideration, we give the convergence $κ$ in gravitational lensing astrophysics in our model. Numerical analysis shows that our prediction is to a certain extent in agreement with the observations of Bullet Cluster 1E0657-558. With the theoretical temperature $T$ taking the observed value 14.8 keV, the mass density profile of the main cluster obtained in our model is the same order as that given by the best-fit King $β$-model.

description: Project reports the results of research undertaken to develop an expert system for making fertilizer recommendations based on the results of soil analysis.. Developing fertilizer recommendations based on the results of soil analysis is recognized as a standard practice in horticultural crops. The manual process requires expert knowledge and can be tedious and time consuming. This thesis reports the results of research undertaken to develop an expert system for making fertilizer recommendations. Study objectives were to explore and describe methods for the implementation of the interpretation model and the generation of fertilizer recommendations using a user interface that is highly interactive and effective as well as demonstrating the commercial feasibility of such a system. Incremental prototype development occurred both in the DOS and Windows environment, with the Windows version being more commercially acceptable and maintainable than the DOS version. The review of the prototypes by a small team of domain experts proved to be a successful method for iterating through the prototype development system life cycle. At the core of the system is a knowledge base maintained in tabular format and a linear model which resolves an optimum fertilizer recommendation solution that meets certain goals while satisfying a set of constraints. The provision of mixed initiative dialogues that support userexploration of the solution space using the results from the linear model is also reported. Pilot commercialization through a jointly funded project by the co-operating fertilizer company, Incitec and the Horticultural Research and Development Corporation was successfully undertaken and full commercialization is being funded fully by Incitec. Results from this study indicated that the system developed was commercially acceptable as a delivery platform for fertilizer recommendations.

description: We study zero-sum stochastic differential games with player dynamics governed by a nondegenerate controlled diffusion process. Under the assumption of uniform stability, we establish the existence of a solution to the Isaac's equation for the ergodic game and characterize the optimal stationary strategies. The data is not assumed to be bounded, nor do we assume geometric ergodicity. Thus our results extend previous work in the literature. We also study a relative value iteration scheme that takes the form of a parabolic Isaac's equation. Under the hypothesis of geometric ergodicity we show that the relative value iteration converges to the elliptic Isaac's equation as time goes to infinity. We use these results to establish convergence of the relative value iteration for risk-sensitive control problems under an asymptotic flatness assumption.

description: We propose a new way of analyzing the Hubbard model using equations of motion (EOM) for the higher-order Green's functions approach within the DMFT scheme. In calculating the higher order Green function we will differentiate over both Times (t) and (t'). This allows us to obtain the metallic Fermi liquid at nonzero Coulomb interaction, where the three center density of states (DOS) structure with two Hubbard bands and the quasiparticle resonance peak is obtained. At small Coulomb interactions and zero temperature the height of the quasiparticle resonance peak on the Fermi energy is constant similarly as in the full DMFT method with numerical (Quantum Monte Carlo) or with analytical (e.g. iterative perturbation theory) calculations.

description: We study a model of spins 1/2 on a square lattice, generalizing the quantum compass model via the addition of perturbing Heisenberg interactions between nearest neighbors, and investigate its phase diagram and magnetic excitations. This model has motivations both from the field of strongly correlated systems with orbital degeneracy and from that of solid-state based devices proposed for quantum computing. We find that the high degeneracy of ground states of the compass model is fragile and changes into twofold degenerate ground states for any finite amplitude of Heisenberg coupling. By computing the spin structure factors of finite clusters with Lanczos diagonalization, we evidence a rich variety of phases characterized by Z2 symmetry, that are either ferromagnetic, C-type antiferromagnetic, or of Neel type, and analyze the effects of quantum fluctuations on phase boundaries. In the ordered phases the anisotropy of compass interactions leads to a finite excitation gap to spin waves. We show that for small nanoscale clusters with large anisotropy gap the lowest excitations are column-flip excitations that emerge due to Heisenberg perturbations from the manifold of degenerate ground states of the compass model. We derive an effective one-dimensional XYZ model which faithfully reproduces the exact structure of these excited states and elucidates their microscopic origin. The low energy column-flip or compass-type excitations are robust against decoherence processes and are therefore well designed for storing information in quantum computing. We also point out that the dipolar interactions between nitrogen-vacancy centers forming a rectangular lattice in a diamond matrix may permit a solid-state realization of the anisotropic compass-Heisenberg model.

description: Coulomb repulsion between the bonding electron pair in the H-O covalent bond (denoted by "-") and the nonbonding electron pair of O (":") and the specific-heat disparity between the O:H and the H-O segments of the entire hydrogen bond (O:H-O) are shown to determine the O:H-O bond angle-length-stiffness relaxation dynamics and the density anomalies of water and ice. The bonding part with relatively lower specific-heat is more easily activated by cooling, which serves as the "master" and contracts, while forcing the "slave" with higher specific-heat to elongate (via Coulomb repulsion) by different amounts. In the liquid and solid phases, the O:H van der Waals bond serves as the master and becomes significantly shorter and stiffer while the H-O bond becomes slightly longer and softer (phonon frequency is a measure of bond stiffness), resulting in an O:H-O cooling contraction and the seemingly "regular" process of cooling densification. In the water-ice transition phase, the master and the slave swap roles, thus resulting in an O:H-O elongation and volume expansion during freezing. In ice, the O--O distance is longer than it is in water, resulting in a lower density, so that ice floats.

description: Many speech applications require understanding aspects beyond the words being spoken, such as recognizing emotion, detecting whether the speaker is wearing a mask, or distinguishing real from synthetic speech. In this work, we introduce a new state-of-the-art paralinguistic representation derived from large-scale, fully self-supervised training of a 600M+ parameter Conformer-based architecture. We benchmark on a diverse set of speech tasks and demonstrate that simple linear classifiers trained on top of our time-averaged representation outperform nearly all previous results, in some cases by large margins. Our analyses of context-window size demonstrate that, surprisingly, 2 second context-windows achieve 96\% the performance of the Conformers that use the full long-term context on 7 out of 9 tasks. Furthermore, while the best per-task representations are extracted internally in the network, stable performance across several layers allows a single universal representation to reach near optimal performance on all tasks.

description: This paper proposes a framework for the procurement of flexibility reserve from aggregated storage fleets. It allows for arbitrary tree structures of aggregation hierarchy, as well as easily implementable disaggregation via broadcast dispatch. By coupling discharge and recovery modes, the proposed framework enables full-cycle capacity to be procured ahead of real time, with guaranteed recovery and exact accounting for losses. The set of feasible discharging requests is exactly encoded, so that there is no reduction in the ability to meet discharging signals, and recovery capabilities are parametrised as a single virtual battery. Included in this paper is a numerical demonstration of the construction of the constituent curves of the framework and the approach is also benchmarked against relevant alternatives.

Nurses' perceptions of the provision of quality nursing care to post procedure elective Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) patients

description: This grounded theory study was conducted in a large Metropolitan Hospital, Queensland, Australia, to explore and describe nurses' perceptions of quality nursing care and factors that affect quality nursing care provided to patients undergoing Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) procedures. Data were gathered from focus group interviews, participant observations, in-depth interviews and published literature. Information was recorded using an audio recorder during the focus group sessions and note-taking during the participant observations and in-depth interviews. Thirty-five registered nurses from a Cardiac Investigation Unit (CIU) and a Coronary Care Unit (CCU) participated in the study. The process of data collection, analysis and theory formulation occurred by using a constant comparative data approach suggested by Strauss and Corbin (1990). The results of this study showed that the nurses viewed quality nursing care as the combination of basic, personal and application standards. The participants perceived quality as a complex concept. Quality of nursing care was reflected best when nurses combined basic standards - 'doing to' with personal standards - 'being with' to become the core concept of application standards, which represented the nurse-patient relationship and a marriage of expectations that both the nurse and the patient have. This study identified a range of conditions that affect the provision of quality nursing care for elective PTCA patients. These conditions were later grouped into three categories, structure, process and culture. Their relationship with the theory of quality was examined and discussed. This study recommended that nurses develop strategies to provide innovative ways in which to overcome the conditions that reduce time available for conducive nurse-patient relationships and to achieve the marriage of expectations.

description: In this paper we explore whether the fundamental tool of experimental psychology, the behavioral experiment, has the power to generate insight not only into humans and animals, but artificial systems too. We apply the techniques of experimental psychology to investigating catastrophic forgetting in neural networks. We present a series of controlled experiments with two-layer ReLU networks, and exploratory results revealing a new understanding of the behavior of catastrophic forgetting. Alongside our empirical findings, we demonstrate an alternative, behavior-first approach to investigating neural network phenomena.
Robust control for offshore steel jacket platforms under wave-induced forces

subject: Ship and platform structures (incl. maritime hydrodynamics)

description: "This thesis is concerned with robust control of an offshore steel jacket platform subject to nonlinear wave-induced forces. Since time delay and uncertainty are inevitably encountered for an offshore structure and their existence may induce instability, oscillation and poor performance, it is very significant to study on how the delay and uncertainty affect the offshore structure. In this thesis, a memory robust control strategy is, for the first time, proposed to reduce the internal oscillations of the offshore structure under wave-induced forces, so as to ensure the safety and comfort of the offshore structure. Firstly, when the system's states are adopted as feedback, memory state feedback controllers are introduced for the offshore structure. By using Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory, some delay-dependent stability criteria have been established, based on which, and by combining with some linearization techniques, memory state feedback controllers are designed to control the offshore structure. The simulation results show that such controllers can effectively reduce the internal oscillations of the offshore structure subject to nonlinear wave-induced forces and uncertainties. On the other hand, a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional is introduced to derive a less conservative delay-dependent stability criterion. When this criterion is applied to the offshore structure, an improved memory state feedback controller with a small gain is obtained to control the system more effectively, which is sufficiently shown by the simulation. Secondly, when the system's outputs are adopted as feedback, memory dynamic output feedback controllers are considered for the offshore structure. By employing a projection theorem and a cone complementary linearization approach, memory dynamic output feedback controllers are derived by solving some nonlinear minimization problem subject to some linear matrix inequalities. The simulation results show that the internal oscillations of the offshore structure subject to nonlinear wave-induced forces are well attenuated. Finally, robust H control is fully investigated for the offshore structure. By employing Lyapunov-Krasovskii stability theory, some delay-dependent bounded real lemmas have been obtained, under which, via a memory state feedback controller or a dynamic output feedback controller, the resulting closed-loop system is not only asymptotically stable but also with a prescribed disturbance attenuation level. The simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed method." -- abstract.

description: We studied the low-energy states of spin-1/2 quantum dots defined in InAs/InP nanowires and coupled to aluminium superconducting leads. By varying the superconducting gap, Δ, with a magnetic field, B, we investigated the transition from strong coupling, Δ<< T_{K}, to weak coupling, Δ>> T_{K}, where T_{K} is the Kondo temperature. Below the critical field, we observe a persisting zero-bias Kondo resonance that vanishes only for low B or higher temperatures, leaving the room to more robust sub-gap structures at bias voltages between Δand 2Δ. For strong and approximately symmetric tunnel couplings, a Josephson supercurrent is observed in addition to the Kondo peak. We ascribe the coexistence of a Kondo resonance and a superconducting gap to a significant density of intra-gap quasiparticle states, and the finite-bias sub-gap structures to tunneling through Shiba states. Our results, supported by numerical calculations, own relevance also in relation to tunnel-spectroscopy experiments aiming at the observation of Majorana fermions in hybrid nanostructures.

This thesis is entitled Discipline and Punish and the Discursive Production of Australian Historiography, and aims to show how Michel Foucault's study of changes in French penal practice between 1757 and 1840, Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977), can be used to challenge various enlighten-ment humanist values informing the historiographic construction of the first European depth upon two historical texts: Manning Clark's A History of Australia Volume I and Robert Hughes' The Fatal Shore. My aim is two fold: first, to highlight the utility of critiquing the narrative politics informing Clark's and Hughes' construction of character, community and historical meaning from a contemporary theoretical or poststructuralist perspective which thinkers such as Foucault have made available; and second, to show how the historical events and source material which Clark and Hughes appropriate in constructing their historiography might be related to some of the issues concerning the disciplinary production of the modern subject which Foucault discusses in Discipline and Punish. Foucault connects the birth of the modern prison with a multiplicity of techniques aimed at surveying, training and disciplining the subject body of the prisoner, procedures which might be linked with wider mechanisms within the society at large, providing, Foucault suggests, a 'carceral continuum' linking the production of delinquent subjects in the prison with the production of acompliant social body in the world outside. As these changes coincide with the beginning of European settlement in Australia, I am interested in discerning to what extent the forces and mechanisms of power Foucault identifies are evident in a colony designed for the exile of convicts.

description: Background and aim: Botulinum toxin injection is the most popular aesthetic procedure performed worldwide. This cosmetic treatment is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Our study aimed to identify the pros and cons of Botox for the anti-aging process. Also, identify the immediate complications and satisfaction level of the patients.
 Methodology: We conducted the study in the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, VitaSkin Clinic, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The time period was April 2023 to September 2023. The study design was descriptive cross-sectional. All patients who have come to do Botox in various areas of their body parts at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology of VitaSkin Clinic, Dhaka, were enrolled in the study by purposive sampling. Thereafter, they were scrutinized according to eligibility criteria and 100 patients were finalized. A pre-tested, observation-based, peer-reviewed data collection sheet was prepared before the study. Data regarding clinical, biochemical and surgical profiles were recorded. Data were compiled, edited, and analyzed by SPSS 25. 
Results: According to the analysis, this study was conducted by 57 women and 43 men. The number of patients who did their upper face Botox 45, mid face 23 and lower face 32. The level of immediate complications after taking Botox. By doing multivariant (cross-table) analysis, the study revealed significant values of complications. The results show that bruising (n=13, 22.2%; chi-square-8.58, p=0.01), dizziness (n=11, 18.7%; chi-square-6.54, p=0.01), headaches (n=5, 9.6%; chi-square-7.04, p=0.01), swelling (n=9, 20.6%; chi-square-5.28, p=0.01), temporary Muscle weakness (n=7, 18.7%; chi-square-8.12, p=0.01), tears or hollowness under the eyes (n=5, 7.4%; chi-square-6.89, p=0.01) are the immediate complications after doing Botox. Above 93% of patients were satisfied with their treatment. 
Conclusion:Botulinum Toxin (Botox) is the most effective anti-aging treatment, where complication is less and satisfaction is high.

description: Forschungsberichterstattung ist mittlerweile Alltag auf allen Ebenen des Wissenschaftsbetriebs:Forschende erfüllen regelmäßig Berichtspflichten gegenüber externen Förderorganisationen und Geldgebern. Leitungen benötigen im Wettbewerb um Ausstattung und Köpfe eine Übersicht über die Vielzahl an Forschungsinformationen, um gute Entscheidungen treffen zu können. Die öffentliche Rechenschaftslegung über Forschung, insbesondere über die Finanzierung, hat ebenfalls an Bedeutung gewonnen. Gleichzeitig haben Hochschulen und Forschungseinrichtungen immer noch überraschend große Probleme bei der Bereitstellung fachbezogener Informationen. Die Ursachen sind in den Institutionen meist ähnlich – eine verteile Datenhaltung ohne Schnittstellen, Verwaltungssysteme, die Forschungskontexte nicht abbilden, sowie die begrenzte Nutzbarkeit vorhandener Systeme für die Durchführung differenzierter Auswertungen. Mehrfacherfassungen sind an der Tagesordnung. Institutionsübergreifend bestehen weitere Hindernisse für ein effizientes Informationsmanagement: Fach- und Förderdatenbanken werden isoliert betrieben, es fehlt an Schnittstellen und Austauschformaten und bei der Entwicklung von Systemen werden Standardisierungsmöglichkeiten zu wenig genutzt. Die Entwicklung finanzierbarer und funktionaler Forschungs-informationssysteme und vor allem der Austausch vorhandener Informationen gehört ebenso zur IT-Entwicklung für die Wissenschaft, wie Campusmanagement oder geeignete Personal-und Finanzsysteme. Es ist schwer vorstellbar, dass Prozesse, die auf manuelle Eingaben und jährliche Datenabfragen angewiesen sind, in den zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Einrichtungen dieser Welt auf Dauer erfolgreich fortgeführt werden können. Ebenso wenig ist wahrscheinlich, dass die Berichtsanforderungen abnehmen. Das Positionspapier zeigt auf strategischer Ebene auf, welche konkreten Schritte zur Entwicklung eines nachhaltigen Informationsmanagements in der Forschungsberichterstattung gegangen werden müssen. Eine Verständigung auf gemeinsame Standards ist die Grundvoraussetzung dafür, dass der nicht unbeträchtliche Aufwand für den Betrieb der Systeme gesenkt werden kann und mobilen Forschenden ermöglicht wird, ihr Portfolio in verschiedene Anwendungen zu übertragen und auch in andere Forschungseinrichtungen mitzunehmen. Die Arbeitsgruppe hat darüber hinaus konkrete handlungspraktische Hinweise für Systemauswahl, Einführung und Betrieb, Projektmanagement und Gestaltung der Systeme erarbeitet. Diese richten sich an Institutionen, die selbst ein Forschungsinformationssystem einführen oder entwickeln wollen.

description: A nonlocal gravity model is considered which does not assume the existence of a new dimensional parameter in the action and includes a function $f(\Box^{-1} R)$, with $\Box$ the d'Alembertian operator. Using a reconstruction procedure for the local scalar-tensor formulation of this model, a function f is obtained for which the model exhibits power-law solutions with the Hubble parameter $H=n/t$, for any value of the constant n. For generic n - namely except for a few special values which are characterized and also specifically studied - the corresponding function f is a sum of exponential functions. Corresponding power-law solutions are found explicitly. Also the case is solved in all detail of a function f such that the model contains both de Sitter and power-law solutions.

description: Agentic pipelines present novel challenges and opportunities for human-centered explainability. The HCXAI community is still grappling with how best to make the inner workings of LLMs transparent in actionable ways. Agentic pipelines consist of multiple LLMs working in cooperation with minimal human control. In this research paper, we present early findings from an agentic pipeline implementation of a perceptive task guidance system. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis, we analyze how Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning, a common vehicle for explainability in LLMs, operates within agentic pipelines. We demonstrate that CoT reasoning alone does not lead to better outputs, nor does it offer explainability, as it tends to produce explanations without explainability, in that they do not improve the ability of end users to better understand systems or achieve their goals.

description: We introduce the notion of an accessible $\infty$-cosmos and prove that these include the basic examples of $\infty$-cosmoi and are stable under the main constructions. A consequence is that the vast majority of known examples of $\infty$-cosmoi are accessible. By the adjoint functor theorem for homotopically enriched categories which we proved in an earlier paper, joint with Lukas Vokrinek, it follows, for instance, that all such $\infty$-cosmoi have flexibly weighted homotopy colimits.

Mass-density and Phonon-frequency Relaxation Dynamics of Under-coordinated Water Molecules

description: The interplay between intra-molecular H-O covalent bond contraction, due to molecular under-coordination, and inter-molecular O:H expansion, due to inter-electron pair Coulomb repulsion, has been shown to be the source of the anomalous behavior of under-coordinated water molecules in nanoclusters and in the surfaces of water. The shortening of the H-O bond raises the local density of bonding electrons, which in turn polarizes the lone pairs of electrons on oxygen. The stiffening of the H-O bond increases the magnitude of O1s binding energy shift, causes the blueshift of the H-O phonon frequencies, and furthermore, elevates the melting point of molecular clusters and ultrathin films of water, which gives rise to their ice-like behavior at room temperature. At the same time, the elongation of the entire O:H-O bond polarizes and enlarges the under-coordinated H$_2$O molecules.

Technology-mediated tertiary labour: Discourses of deconstruction and reconstruction

description: "Tertiary labour is the fastest growing form of paid work in the West. Prevalence of technology-mediation of labour with computer and telecom networks is increasing. However, few inspect subjectivity in technology-mediated tertiary labour (TMTL). Using Foucaultian theory, I analyse how a constellation of forces in TMTL influences production of knowledge and how this affects power and subjectivity. Ethnographic methods are used to discover and clarify the creation of knowledge, disciplinary and governmental power, and how programs, technologies and strategies relate to workers action. Disciplinary power is activated in architecture, technologies and systems that watch, inscribe and make scientific evaluations of productivity and quality. Workers are inculcated in organisational values and link themselves to organisational goals through governmental power. When these are combined, workers see and govern themselves in a rationality of productivity and qualitya recursive production and activation of knowledge and power appropriating them as willing subjects. This constellation of knowledge and power forwards a particular truth about subjects that appears both objective and natural, though it is as much an artefact of the organisations apparatus as it is of the subjects actions in it. This occurs through strategies and tactics in which subjects participate in practices of observing, inscribing and evaluating ones self, and are made responsible for the outcome. However, there are spaces left free where subjects exercise autonomous action, resistance and adjustments. Workers influence the objectified view of themselves, modifying knowledge and power in which they are produced as subjects. This occurs as shadowboxing with dataaffecting what is seen and inscribed. Even in the highly regulated context of TMTL, workers are not just subjects of the organisation but participants in a production of their own selves."--abstract

description: Release of textile azo dyes to the environment is an issue of health concern while the use of microorganisms has proved to be the best option for remediation. Thus, in the present study, a bacterial consortium consisting of Providencia rettgeri strain HSL1 and Pseudomonas sp. SUK1 has been investigated for degradation and detoxification of structurally different azo dyes. The consortium showed 98-99 % decolorization of all the selected azo dyes viz. Reactive Black 5 (RB 5), Reactive Orange 16 (RO 16), Disperse Red 78 (DR 78) and Direct Red 81 (DR 81) within 12 to 30 h at 100 mg L-1 concentration at 30 ± 0.2 °C under microaerophilic, sequential aerobic/microaerophilic and microaerophilic/aerobic processes. However, decolorization under microaerophilic conditions viz. RB 5 (0.26 mM), RO 16 (0.18 mM), DR 78 (0.20 mM) and DR 81 (0.23 mM) and sequential aerobic/microaerophilic processes viz. RB 5 (0.08 mM), RO 16 (0.06 mM), DR 78 (0.07 mM) and DR 81 (0.09 mM) resulted into the formation of aromatic amines. In distinction, sequential microaerophilic/ aerobic process doesn’t show the formation of amines. Additionally, 62-72 % reduction in total organic carbon content was observed in all the dyes decolorized broths under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic processes suggesting the efficacy of method in mineralization of dyes. Notable induction within the levels of azoreductase and NADH-DCIP reductase (97 and 229 % for RB 5, 55 and 160 % for RO 16, 63 and 196 % for DR 78, 108 and 258 % for DR 81) observed under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic processes suggested their critical involvements in the initial breakdown of azo bonds, whereas, a slight increase in the levels of laccase and veratryl alcohol oxidase confirmed subsequent oxidation of formed amines. Also, the acute toxicity assay with Daphnia magna revealed the nontoxic nature of the dye-degraded metabolites under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic processes. As biodegradation under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic process completely detoxified all the selected textile azo dyes, further efforts should be made to implement such methods for large scale dye wastewater treatment technologies.

description: Primary biliary cirrhosis in combination with autoimmune hepatitis has been termed “overlap syndrome”, but its diagnosis is challenging. We report a case of a 43-year-old lady who presented with a six-month history of jaundice and pruritus. She subsequently developed gum bleeds. Laboratory investigations revealed hypochromic microcytic anemia, abnormal coagulation profiles, elevated serum alanine transferase and alkaline phosphatase levels, and raised serum IgG and IgM levels. Her serum was also positive for anti-nuclear and anti-mitochondrial antibodies. The findings from her abdominal CT scan were suggestive of early liver cirrhosis and the histopathological examination results of her liver biopsy were consistent with primary biliary cirrhosis. The patient was treated with ursodeoxycholic acid and her liver function test parameters normalized after six months.
