description: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) hold significant promise as biomarkers and therapeutics, yet their isolation remains challenging due to their low abundance and complex sample matrices. Here, we introduce EV-Osmoprocessor (EVOs), a novel device that leverages osmosis-driven filtration for rapid and efficient EV isolation. EVOs employs a high osmolarity polymer solution to concentrate EVs while simultaneously removing smaller contaminants. Compared to traditional methods such as ultracentrifugation and precipitation, EVOs offers speed and convenience, achieving a 50-fold volume reduction in under 2 h. Our results show that EVOs retained EVs and removed >99% albumin from the cell conditioned culture medium (CCM). The isolated EVs exhibited a particle size distribution centered around 140 nm, which was very similar to EVs isolated via precipitation or ultracentrifugation. The standalone EVOs process achieved a particle:protein ratio (EV purity) of ~107 particles/µg protein. Comprehensive characterization, including cryo-electron microscopy, validation of protein markers and known miRNA cargo confirmed the successful isolation of EVs. Functional assays, based on protection of cardiomyocytes from hypoxia/reoxygenation injury, demonstrated the bioactivity of EVOs-isolated EVs. Furthermore, we show that EVOs can be used to concentrate 30 ml of CCM into a 0.5 ml solution, which was then further processed with size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), improving EV purity to ~109 particles/µg protein. This work establishes EVOs as a promising tool for EV research and clinical applications, offering a streamlined approach to EV isolation with enhanced analytical performance. EVOs, an osmosis-driven filtration device, rapidly isolates extracellular vesicles with high yield and preserved cargo and functionality, offering a scalable, efficient solution for EV research in under 2 h.

description: Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) is a powerful therapy for the treatment of various cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases. However, access to iNO therapy is often limited by the necessity of cumbersome gas tanks and/or elaborate gas blending apparatus. Here, we report a lightweight, inexpensive, and maintenance-free tablet that autonomously generates a therapeutic quantity of NO in air. The tablet is composed of a thimble filter paper containing a powdery mixture of nitrite (NO2‒)-type layered double hydroxide (NLDH) and ascorbic acid loaded on silica gel (AASiO2). NLDH by itself generates trace amounts of NO in the air due to the left-shifting of the protonation equilibrium of NO2‒ by aerial CO2 and H2O (2[NO2‒]LDH + CO2 + H2O ⇌ 2HNO2↑ + [CO32‒]LDH), which is followed by disproportionation of 2HNO2 to NO, NO2 and H2O. In contrast, it was found that the protonation equilibrium can be shifted to the right side when volatile acid products (HNO2 and NO2) are readily converted to neutral NO over the AASiO2 reductant. Based on this, even a single tablet (containing 0.30 g NLDH and 0.90 g AASiO2) generates 5 ~ 20 ppm NO at 0.5 L/min for 24 h, which is sufficient to be useful for the relief of severe hypoxia caused by persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Moreover, the tablet can be activated by exhaled breath for high-dose iNO therapy (80 ~ 180 ppm for several hours), revealing its potential utility for treating viral pneumonia. The NO tablet can be stored stably over long periods at ambient temperature in a gas barrier bag and has the potential to break the logistical, financial, and operational barriers that have long existed for the widespread implementation of iNO therapy. A lightweight, inexpensive, and maintenance-free tablet that generates a therapeutic quantity of NO gas in air opens up broad opportunities for treatment of various cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases.

description: The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has obtained more than 23 million spectra, opening an unprecedented opportunity to study stellar physics, as well as the formation and evolution of our Milky Way. In order to obtain the accurate stellar parameters, we develop a LAMOST Medium-Resolution Spectral Analysis Pipeline (LAMA), which estimates the stellar parameters from the LAMOST medium-resolution spectra, including the effective temperature (Teff), surface gravity (logg), metallicity ([Fe/H]), radial velocity, and rotational velocity (vsini). LAMA estimates these parameters utilizing the template-matching method. The comparison between our results and those from the high-resolution ones, including APOGEE, GALAH, and PASTEL, shows no obvious bias, indicating the reliability of our results. The accuracy of Teff and [Fe/H] can reach 75 K and 0.12 dex, respectively, for the LAMOST Medium-Resolution Spectroscopic Survey (MRS) spectra with a signal-to-noise ratio higher than 10. For dwarfs, the uncertainty of logg is around 0.17 dex, while, for giants, it ranges from 0.18 to 0.30 dex, with the errors decreasing as logg increases. Using LAMA for the LAMOST-MRS spectra, we estimate the stellar parameters of 497,412 stars. This sample will be very helpful for investigating the formation and evolution of our Galaxy.

description: Family farmers in Brazil could diversify their sources of income and improve agriculture practices by adopting circular economy principles on their farms. Closed-loop technological systems can be used to manage organic waste and produce fertiliser and biogas thereby generating revenue. Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a proven technology that can produce digestate (i.e. fertiliser) and biogas from organic waste, although digestate application in soil and crops without treatment can have adverse effects. However, in practice, there is a lack of knowledge about the benefits of recycling organic waste in farming communities in Brazil. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to provide conceptual design configurations of closed-loop systems that manage organic waste and generate revenue for small farms in Brazil. A literature review of selected technologies and interviews with Brazilian family farmers were used to inform the components of the proposed conceptual designs. The proposed designs are based on circular economy principles, incorporating AD, pyrolysis for biochar, hydroponics and vermifiltration in various configurations. A complete closed-loop system consisting of a 7.5 m3 digester, pyrolysis unit, a combined hydroponic and vermifilter unit and a shredder is estimated to cost around USD$1600 (R$ 6600). The flexibility of the proposed systems has the potential to increase resilience and income for small-scale farmers, whilst encouraging good practices for waste management. The conceptual designs can be used as a basis for further research and development of small-scale organic waste management solutions in Brazil.

description: A method of chemically bonding copper ferrocynide (CuFC) to the surface of a PVDF hollow-fibre membrane (PVDF-CuFC) was designed and the resulting PVDF-CuFC was applied to the effective removal of aqueous cesium (Cs). In order to chemically immobilize CuFC on the surface of the PVDF hollow-fibre membrane, carboxyl groups were introduced onto the membrane surface (PVDF-COOH) to peptide bond with amine groups from CuFC. The introduction of the carboxyl group onto the surface of the PVDF hollow-fibre membrane was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), while the immobilization of CuFC was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersed spectroscopy, FT-IR, and thermogravimetric analysis. The PVDF-CuFC showed higher Cs adsorption kinetics and adsorption capacity than PVDF-COOH. Moreover, as the initial pH increased, the amount of Cs adsorption by PVDF-CuFC also increased. However, the amount of Cs adsorption at pH 10 was slightly less. The applicability of PVDF-CuFC as a filter type adsorbent for the treatment of a Cs-contaminated water source is demonstrated by continuous filtration experiments.

description: There is a gap in understanding how family members of sexual offenders, and specific to the present study, families of those who download CSAM, navigate their life experiences after the point of discovery of the offence. Their psychological experiences are a direct result of their association with a family member’s sexual crime and yet, they themselves are innocent. A qualitative approach with fifteen female partners, ex-partners and mothers of CSAM offenders was used to examine how they experienced life following the discovery of the crime. Using reflexive thematic analysis, two themes were interpreted: (1) Navigation through Secondary Stigma Experiences and (2) Fragile Future. These findings provide practical suggestions for increasing support for non-offending families, which would enhance their ability to provide support to desisting CSAM offenders, and advance the literature to better understand complex trauma for secondary victims of sexual crime. PRACTICE IMPACT STATEMENT Family members of CSAM offenders play an important role in both safeguarding children and desistance processes. Their efforts to cope with secondary stigma experiences need to be acknowledged with access to appropriate support options made available. Our findings contribute important insights into what assistance optimises family members’ ability to deal with their circumstances as they struggle to cope with powerful stigma experiences, thus enhancing their ability to protect children and support offending relatives

description: Employing ultraviolet light to enhance the removal of As(V) by sulfide (S(-II)) from strongly acidic wastewater is a potential method. However, we found the arsenic trisulfide (As2S3) and elemental sulfur (S8) particles formed in this method not only vastly hinder light transmission in the wastewater but also undergo light-induced redissolution, leading to a decrease in removal rate and efficiency of As(V). Herein, As(V) removal by sulfide from strongly acidic wastewater was performed in a modified photochemical reactor to weaken the effect of the formed particles on As(V) removal. It was found that in this study, the formed particles could be efficiently removed from the photoreactor by three operations, i.e. circulation-filtration, septum setting, and lamp sleeve cleaning. The removal of As(V) was approximately 11-fold faster than that without three operations, saving 90.9% of the reaction time and 89.4% of energy consumption. The removal efficiency of As(V) also increased through weakening the light-induced redissolution of the formed particles. This study facilitates the practical application of the UV light promoted As(V) removal technology and also provides a new method to lessen the light-blocking effect in the particle-forming photochemical reaction systems.

description: Scoping reviews can identify a large number of evidence sources. This commentary describes and provides guidance on planning, conducting, and reporting large scoping reviews. This guidance is informed by experts in scoping review methodology, including JBI (formerly Joanna Briggs Institute) Scoping Review Methodology group members, who have also conducted and reported large scoping reviews. We propose a working definition for large scoping reviews that includes approximately 100 sources of evidence but must also consider the volume of data to be extracted, the complexity of the analyses, and purpose. We pose 6 core questions for scoping review authors to consider when planning, developing, conducting, and reporting large scoping reviews. By considering and addressing these questions, scoping review authors might better streamline and manage the conduct and reporting of large scoping reviews from the planning to publishing stage.

Publisher: name: eScholarship@UMMS
Year: 2019

description: Many institutions rely on proprietary repository systems to steward their content. Proprietary systems offer convenient set-up and maintenance, and have long been considered the most efficient option for institutions that lack in-house resources for system development and administration. However, consolidation in the commercial repository sector has increasingly prompted institutions to consider alternatives that give them greater ownership over their content, their data, and their infrastructure. A panel representing a group of colleges and vendor partners will discuss their work in building sustainable collaborations to support open source repository infrastructure, maintenance, and development, making open source software adoption attainable for a broader community. The session will cover key projects including LASIR (building out features in Islandora to make it an affordable, viable IR solution), ISLE (creating an easier way to install and maintain Islandora), and the Islandora for All Mellon Foundation grant. Panelists will discuss the affordances of open source repository software for institutions of all sizes and will also share their perspectives on the experience of working collaboratively with various colleges, vendors, and consortia, and share their thoughts on the biggest challenges facing this type of collaborative work.

description: In the present study, we developed several microflora communities that utilize digested sludge (DS), the recalcitrant waste product of anaerobic digestion, as a substrate for biogas production with the aim of their future application to DS recycling. Strict enrichment with DS as the sole nutrient source was introduced to culture microbes from soil and herbivore dung samples; microflora communities promoting stable levels of biogas production were obtained. The average methane and hydrogen yield from soil-derived microflora were 4.86 ml and 0.94 ml per 1.0 g DS, respectively. Notably, two microflora communities enriched from a riverbank sediment produced 20.79 ml and 14.10 ml methane from 1.0 g DS. By contrast, the methane and hydrogen yield for herbivore dung-derived microfloras were on average 1.31 ml and 1.87 ml per 1.0 g DS, respectively. Potent hydrogen-biogas producers were obtained from rabbit (4.12 ml per 1.0 g DS), goat (3.16 ml per 1.0 g DS), and sheep dung (2.52 ml per 1.0 g DS). The cultured microflora communities included representatives from the eubacterial genera, Clostridiaceae and Eubacteriaceae together with several anaerobic genera. Pseudomonas spp. are found in the riverbank sediment-derived microfloras, suggesting that the floras employ syntrophic acetate oxidation and hydrogentrophic methanogenesis (SAO-HM) pathway for methane production. The methanogenic microflora communities were dominated by bacteria from the Methanobacteriaceae family and unclassified archaea. Moreover, ascomycetous fungi and protists were found, implying that they act as oxygen scavengers and bacterial grazers, respectively. Enzymatic analysis suggested that the microfloras hydrolyze DS via cellulase, chitinase, and protease activities.

description: In the development of renewable energy sources, batteries are considered the best option for energy storage. High energy density and high performance are key demands for emerging technologies. Lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) are considered promising candidates for storing generated energy. However, the formation of lithium dendrites and infinite volume expansion during cycling are serious limitations in current LMB applications. 3D-structured anodes have received considerable attention as an effective solution to overcome these problems. Herein, we synthesize a lithiophilic 3D-Si/SiOx host for LMBs via a simple magnesiothermic reduction process (MRP). The 3D porous SiOx structure provides a large specific surface area, which reduces local current density and offers ample space for Li deposition. The 3D-Si/SiOx anode not only accommodates volume changes but also demonstrates homogeneous, dendrite-free lithium deposition with a high coulombic efficiency of more than 99% at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0C. The symmetric cell composed of prelithiated (4 mAh/cm2) 3D-Si/SiOx shows stable long-cycle performance for over 350 hours. By utilizing a single porous particle material with surface-limited lithiophilic properties, rather than the conventional complex 3D lithium anode designs (which typically involve hierarchical structures and lithium-friendly seed materials), this work provides new insights into the design of 3D lithium metal anodes. This research demonstrates the potential application of silicon oxide as an anode material for lithium metal batteries, while also providing guidelines for the design of porous structures at the particle level.

description: Surveys and monitoring are the core means of generating knowledge about the distributions, natural history, andconservation status of amphibians. In an age of rapid declines and discoveries across the globe, it is increasinglyurgent that surveys and monitoring efforts are well-designed and linked to clear conservation goals. Here,we surveyed the amphibian conservation community and literature to review the state of the field and updaterecommendations for surveys and monitoring. Many of the advances of the past 15 years have been technological,including shrinking size and cost of hardware like data loggers and transmitters, which has enabled collection of vastamounts of data and required concomitant advances in analytical tools. Visual encounter surveys are still the mostcommon field method for sampling amphibians, although use of eDNA and automated recorders have increasedin recent years. There are new opportunities to couple field techniques with rigorous sampling frameworks andrecent advances in analytical methods. Myriad knowledge gaps persist, however, including basic understandingof amphibian biodiversity and natural history in under-sampled regions like the Congo basin and in understudiedgroups, such as caecilians. Because many knowledge gaps exist and surveys are resource intensive, there isheightened need to apply decision science to prioritise limited resources available for surveying and monitoring. Thelinks between surveys and monitoring and conservation outcomes can ultimately be strengthened by: 1) definingclear conservation objectives for surveys and monitoring through a participatory process with stakeholders; 2)using decision support frameworks to prioritise survey efforts; 3) selecting the most appropriate combination ofsurvey methods, monitoring framework, and analytical approach for the conservation objective; and 4) effectivelycommunicating survey and monitoring results to decision-makers. Finally, 5) by leveraging new methods,technologies, and funding mechanisms, scientists and practitioners can enhance the surveys and monitoring effortsthat are essential to achieving amphibian conservation goals.
Survival probabilities in the Sisyphus random walk model with absorbing traps

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We analyze the dynamics of the Sisyphus random walk model, a discrete Markov chain in which the walkers may randomly return to their initial position $x_0$. In particular, we present a remarkably compact derivation of the time-dependent survival probability function $S(t;x_0)$ which characterizes the random walkers in the presence of an absorbing trap at the origin. The survival probabilities are expressed in a compact mathematical form in terms of the $x_0$-generalized Fibonacci-like numbers $G^{(x_0)}_t$. Interestingly, it is proved that, as opposed to the standard random walk model in which the survival probabilities depend linearly on the initial distance $x_0$ of the walkers from the trap and decay asymptotically as an inverse power of the time, in the Sisyphus random walk model the asymptotic survival probabilities decay exponentially in time and are characterized by a non-trivial (non-linear) dependence on the initial gap $x_0$ from the absorbing trap. We use the analytically derived results in order to analyze the underlying dynamics of the `survival-game', a highly risky investment strategy in which non-absorbed agents receive a reward $P(t)$ which gradually increases in time.

Year: 2019

description: Andrea Schuler, Digital Collections Librarian and Ashley Peterson, fine arts Research & Instruction Librarian began working together in July 2016 on an initiative to include visual art thesis projects in the Tufts University institutional repository. This project, now in its third year, has resulted in the addition of dozens of visual arts theses into the repository, where they are available alongside senior honors theses from across disciplines in the Schools of Arts, Sciences, and Engineering.

In this presentation, Schuler & Peterson will outline their initial research into best practices and case studies regarding artwork-as-scholarship in IRs, describe their pilot project, and summarize subsequent improvements and future directions. They will focus on the affective labor of this initiative, describing how they attempt to foster student engagement, achieve faculty buy-in, and navigate a project with multiple, cross-departmental institutional stakeholders. They will also speak to the technical challenges of representing artwork in a platform designed for text files.

More broadly, the presentation will highlight opportunities to engage undergraduate students in the larger scholarly conversation and to introduce concepts of open access, copyright, and licensing in a real-world situation. The project offers a low-resource model for creating access to new types of material and empowers student artists to contextualize their work within the larger body of an institution’s scholarly output, while working within the limits of a repository designed for more “traditional” scholarship. After the presentation, in addition to questions, audience members will be encouraged to share examples of related work or unmet needs at their own institutions in order to broaden the conversation.

The highest accumulation in tomato roots was observed in the 5-fold contaminated version and was 4.44 mg/kg, 8.88 times higher than the MPC. 1.16 mg/kg, 2.31 times higher than MPC, 1.38 mg/kg, 2.77 times higher than MPC, 3.18 mg/kg, 6.35 times higher than MPC, with 5 times contamination in stem. When tomatoes are grown in soil contaminated with lead, the mass of the root and fruit increases compared to the stem and leaves, resulting in a decrease in the fruit's suitability for consumption.
title: My CV & OpenBU: a use case on OA policy compliance

description: Many colleges, universities, and research centers have adopted open access policies. Funder mandates are also increasing and OA is clearly becoming the default standard. However, compliance remains an issue at many institutions.

I would like to propose a lightning talk presenting a use case that discusses how one university began to tackle the issue of compliance. In 2018 Boston University began using the research information management system Symplectic Elements to manage annual faculty reporting. The software includes tools that identify and facilitate the deposit of publications into OpenBU, a DSpace institutional repository.

Although there have been some challenges along the way, leveraging the interoperability between Symplectic Elements and DSpace has increased policy-driven IR deposits by over 350% in 2018.

description: Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are a group of neurotoxins produced by Clostridium bacteria. Their effect on neuro-muscular connections through cleaving proteins of the SNARE complex results in blocking acetylcholine signal transduction. The FDA-approved mouse bioassay, which involves exposing live mice to potentially contaminated food, is the most widely used method. However, this assay is costly, time-consuming, and raises ethical concerns. Therefore, there is a need for alternative assays that can enzymatically measure the activity of BoNTs. We present an approach that combines the EndoPep-MS assay with protein affinity chips fabricated using ion soft-landing technology. Toxic activity is indirectly assessed by monitoring the N- and C-terminal fragments of the substrate peptide. This new method employs a protein array with affinity molecules targeting either the BoNT/A1 or the substrate peptide. Both variants enable in-situ reaction and detection of substrate peptides via MALDI-ToF MS on the protein chip. This method demonstrated successful detection of active BoNT/A1 in both buffer and complex matrices, achieving a detection limit of 0.5 ng/mL. This study reports the in-situ detection of botulotoxin A1 using functionalized MALDI chips. The advantages of the MALDI chip technology include speed, robustness, cost-effectiveness, and possible automatization.

description: Ce chapitre aborde en parallèle l'utilisation des médias par les trois principales confessions religieuses du pays - catholique, protestante et musulmane. Ce faisant, nous pourrons comparer les diverses stratégies et initiatives médiatiques mises en avant par ces groupes afin de souligner autant les similarités, les emprunts et les collaborations que les usages différenciés qu'ils en font. Nous comptons également mettre en perspective le récent engouement pour les médias numériques (sites web, réseaux sociaux, applications mobiles) avec les approches plus anciennes par le biais des médias « traditionnels » (presse écrite, radio, télévision).

description: We establish the existence of a viscosity subsolution along with its representation formula to the equation involving Pucci’s extremal operator
Mλ,Λ+ with zero-𝑡ℎ order term. We use a method based on a dynamic programming principle presented by Denis et al. (Potential Analysis, 34(2), (2010), 139–161). As an application of our solution representation formula, we prove the Hopf lemma for
Mλ,Λ− with zero-𝑡ℎ order term. Our approach is based on stochastic calculus and probabilistic methods.

description: This study examines how storage conditions affect the volatile oil composition of Baccharis punctulata, to enhance the yield of trypanocidal sesquiterpenes. Oils extracted from fresh leaves and inflorescences appear yellow, while those extracted from stored material turn green, primarily due to guaiazulene formation. Short drying periods enhance yields of shyobunone and verboccidentafuran (15.33% and 10.93%, respectively), while longer storage times reduce these compounds, and increase oxidation products such as caryophyllene oxide and spathulenol. Female plants in the flowering stage are the best source, with a 4-h hydrodistillation yielding optimal results. In biological assays of the isolated oil components, caryophyllene oxide showed the highest trypanocidal activity (IC50 = 1.62 µg/mL, SI = 45.28), followed by spathulenol (IC50 = 15.91 µg/mL), verboccidentafuran (IC50 = 20.71 µg/mL) and shyobunone (IC50 = 30.28 µg/mL). These findings emphasize the need to identify the best source and to refine isolation methods to obtain pure compounds that ensure reproducible trypanocidal activity.
Co-benefits of marine protected areas for nature and people

description: Conservation interventions are central strategies for achieving sustainable development goals given the inextricable dependence of humanity on nature. Current debate centres on whether interventions such as marine protected areas (MPAs) promote co-benefits or trade-offs among multiple goals such as poverty alleviation, food security and protection of marine resources. Resolving this question is hindered by a lack of quantitative impact evaluations of concurrent ecological and social co-benefits of MPAs. Here we use a statistical matching approach to examine whether MPAs are associated with co-benefits or trade-offs between reef fish abundances and measures of human well-being, including income, diet and food security in the Mesoamerican region. We find that highly protected areas (HPAs) with stringent fishing restrictions tend to support high mean abundances and stable or increasing trends in fish abundances compared with unprotected sites and ‘general use zones’ of MPAs. At the same time, indicators of income and food security were elevated in communities near MPAs, especially HPAs, compared with communities far from MPAs. Finally, proximity to MPAs and to reefs with high fish abundance were both positively associated with well-being across space. Together, these results provide quantitative evidence of co-benefits for fish and people associated with MPAs, highlighting the potential value of MPAs in achieving multiple sustainable development goals.

description: This study investigated the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) of the three Greek members of genus Stachys, namely S. horvaticii, S. leucoglossa subsp. leucoglossa, and S. parolinii. The ΕΟs were obtained by hydrodistillation and were analysed by GC–MS, resulting in the identification of 90 components across the three samples. In total, 35 compounds were detected in S. horvaticii, representing relative percentage of 90.3% of the total EO with geranyl-α-terpinene (27.5%) being the predominant component. Moreover, 42 constituents were found in S. parolinii, representing relative percentage of 92.7% of the EO, dominated by ar-abietatriene (33.2%). Concerning S. leucoglossa subsp. leucoglossa, 31 compounds were identified representing relative percentage of 91.7% of the total EO, among which the main constituent was (E)-phytol (21.7%). Diterpenes constituted the major fractions in all the investigated EOs. This is the first report on S. parolinii and S. leucoglossa subsp. leucoglossa EOs.
