description: Crystal methamphetamine (CM) disproportionately impacts gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM). However, not all gbMSM are interested in changing their substance use. The present study aimed to examine whether participant-preferred service characteristics were associated with their readiness to change. We surveyed gbMSM who used CM in the past six months, aged 18 plus years, on dating platforms. Participants rated service-design characteristics from “very unimportant” to “very important”. Multivariable regression tested service preference ratings across levels of the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES-8D). Among 291 participants, 38.7% reported their CM use was not problematic, 19.5% were not ready to take any action to reduce or stop using CM, and 41.7% were ready to take action. On average, participants rated inclusive, culturally-appropriate, out-patient counselling-based interventions as most important. Participants with greater readiness-to-change scores rated characteristics higher than gbMSM with lesser readiness. Contingency management and non-abstinence programming were identified as characteristics that might engage those with lesser readiness. Services should account for differences in readiness-to-change. Programs that provide incentives and employ harm reduction principles are needed for individuals who may not be seeking to reduce or change their CM use.

Comments: The genus Megalopsalis as currently defined (Taylor 2013b) is morphologically diverse with few unifying features. The phylogenetic analysis presented above has identified three likely subclades that may also be confidently defined morphologically. However, because the relationships of these taxa have not yet been tested using molecular data, these clades are recognised as subgenera until their significance can be more firmly assessed. This allows their ready discussion and comparison by future authors, without enforcing the use of new combinations until such a time as their validity may be more confidently assessed.

description: Der Erftverband betreibt seit 2004 die Membranbelebungsanlage (MBA) in Kaarst-Nordkanal für das Abwasser von rund 80.000 Einwohnern. Die Nachrüstung der MBA mit einer anaeroben Schlammbehandlung anstelle der bisherigen simultan-aeroben Schlammstabilisierung hat den Energieverbrauch auf das Niveau herkömmlicher Kläranlagen gesenkt, ohne die hohe Reinigungsleistung der MBA zu beeinträchtigen. Dazu wurden von April 2016 bis März 2019 ein Vorklärbecken, eine Schlammfaulung, eine BHKW-Anlage und eine Deammonifikation errichtet. Nach Inbetriebnahme betrug der jährliche Stromverbrauch 3.173 MWh/a und sank damit von 69 kWh je Einwohner im Jahre 2008 auf 39,7 kWh je Einwohner im Jahr 2019. Der Anteil der Eigenstromproduktion betrug 34%. Der anfallende Klärschlamm ist sehr gut entwässerbar. Aus dem Vorhaben lassen sich Hinweise und Empfehlungen zur Ertüchtigung kommunaler Kläranlagen, insbesondere kommunaler Membranbelebungsanlagen ableiten. Die Konzentration an Belebtschlamm in MBA kann abhängig von den klärtechnischen Anforderungen zwischen < 5 und 12 gTS/l variiert werden. Niedrige TS-Gehalten senken den Energiebedarf der biologischen Reinigung überproportional und verbessern die Prozessbedingungen für die Filtration. Die Lebensdauer der Membranfilter beträgt mittlerweile mehr als 17 Jahre. Quelle: Forschungsbericht
description: Since 2004, the Erftverband has been operating the membrane bioreactor (MBR) wastewater plant in Kaarst-Nordkanal for approximately 80,000 inhabitants. Retrofitting the MBR plant with anaerobic sludge treatment instead of the previous simultaneous aerobic sludge stabilisation has reduced energy consumption to the level of conventional sewage treatment plants without impairing the high purification performance of the MBR. For this reason, a primary clarifier, a sludge digestion system, a CHP plant and a deammonification system were installed between April 2016 and March 2019. After commissioning, the annual electricity consumption was 3,173 MWh/a and therefore decreased from 69 kWh per inhabitant in 2008 to 39.7 kWh per inhabitant in 2019. The share of on-site electricity production amounted to 34%. The sewage sludge produced shows favourable drainage characteristics. From the project, it is possible to advise and recommend upgrading the municipal sewage treatment plants, such as MBR. The concentration of activated sludge in the MBR can vary between < 5 and 12 g/l, depending on the technical treatment requirements. Low activated sludge content greatly reduces the energy requirement of the biological treatment and improves the process conditions for filtration. The service life of membrane filters is currently more than 17 years. Quelle: Forschungsbericht

Year: 2024

description: Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often experience high levels of anxiety and therefore learning skills in an educational or therapeutic setting can be highly stressful due to the social engagement, environment (noises, lighting, smells), and distractions. This PhD thesis focuses on how children with ASD learn from touch screen apps, from the perspectives of parents and practitioners who work with children on the autism spectrum. Furthermore, parents, practitioners and app developers discussed in semi-structured interviews how touch screen apps can be of benefit or pose difficulty for children with ASD learning of skills in therapy and educational settings. In addition, what constitutes as a high quality app for a child with an ASD. This novel research will help parents and professionals who work with children with an ASD understand what benefits touch screen apps might offer and help provide an alternative avenue to therapy and learning skills, particularly for those who are on a long waiting list or as an adjunct to therapy.

description: The design and development of the digital implementation of a multilevel feed forward neural network architecture for face recognition based on statistical features representing Eigenfaces is presented in this thesis. The architecture is divided into three parts: feature extractor, classifier and identifier, The Eigenface extractor architecture is developed based on an efficient design strategy in which all the M weight values corresponding to the Eigenfaces are generated simultaneously from M images representing the Eigen vectors and the test input image. The multilayer neural network classifier is trained using error backpropagation algorithm. A novel multilevel digital architecture is developed for the implementation of the multilayer feed forward neural network for categorization of the input vectors into specific output classes. At the output of the backpropagation network, a maximization network is used for the final classification of the multilevel outputs from the neural network. The architecture is simulated by Alters Quattus II and implemented in APEX 20K series FPGA. The data interpretation concepts adopted in the system design led to an efficient design methodology, which eliminated the necessity of complex computations needed for the implementation of multilayer perceptron using sigmoid function.

Type species: Spinicrus minimum Kauri, 1954.
Other included species (original combinations): Spinicrus porongorupense Kauri, 1954; Megalopsalis suffugiens Taylor, 2013b; Megalopsalis walpolensis Taylor, 2013b.
Etymology: Gender feminine, from the Latin intutus, unguarded, and portula, a small gate, hence ‘a small unguarded gate’, in reference to the lack of a grill of spines at the spiracle opening.
Description: Pedipalp patella of both sexes lacking distinct apophysis or hypersetose area; tarsal claw with ventral tooth-row. Penis (Fig. 4a)with glans short, subtriangular, basally deep but rapidly narrowing distad in lateral view; bristle groups relatively long; shaft with distinct waist behind bristle groups. Spiracle with covering spines almost or entirely absent but usually with lace tubercles present in lateral corner (Taylor 2013b).
Comments: This subgenus corresponds to the Megalopsalis minima species-group as recognised by Taylor (2013b). The spiracle morphology, lacking either protective spines or enantiophysis, has not been recorded from any other Phalangioidea (Šilhavý 1970). These structures are presumed to offer protection from desiccation so their absence in Intutoportula must be considered curious. Intutoportula species are restricted to southern Western Australia (Kauri 1954; Taylor 2013b), with three of the four species inhabiting the High Rainfall Province of the south-western land division, a region recognised as a global biodiversity hotspot (Rix et al. 2015; Brundrett 2021). The outlier is M. suffugiens which may be able to survive in its more arid Nullarbor habitat through its association with subterranean refugia (Taylor 2013b).

description: Background: Elemental composition and phytochemical content of plants viz; saponins, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannins, polyphenols, terpenoids and their concentrations are potentials for their antifungal or antimicrobial activity.


Aim: This study is aimed at evaluating the phytochemical, elemental composition and antifungal activity of the essential oil and dichloromethane extract of E. floribundus, against Malassezia furfur - the fungi that causes Pityriasis versicolor (eczema).


Method: Assays for the antifungal activity of were performed using the agar dilution method at serial concentrations ranging from 2 to 0.06 mg/ml. Phytochemicals were determined using the suitable Official Analytical (AOAC) methods.


Results: The essential oil of E. floribundus was the most potent, inhibiting the fungi at 0.25 mg/ml (IZD = 27 mm), while the dichloromethane extract inhibited the organism at 0.5 mg/ml (IZD = 25 mm), showing a better activity than the control antifungal, clotrimazole which showed an MIC of 1 mg/ml and an inhibition zone diameter (IZD) of 18 mm. Saponins showed the highest concentration of 900 mg per 5 g in the phytochemicals analyzed; with tannins showing the lowest of 56.6 mg per 5 g.  The concentrations of carbon, nitrogen, magnesium, sodium and Sulphur were 68.7 mg per 100 g, 49.4 mg per 100 g, 324.5 ppm, 78.50 ppm and nil respectively.


Conclusion: The essential oil and dichloromethane extract of E. floribundus revealed a good potential as an antifungal agent against M. furfur based on their minimum inhibition concentration, which is better than the conventional antifungal agent used as control in this study. Concentrations of phytochemicals in the plant also suggest that it has potentials for the traditional treatment of eczema/skin disorders.

Deciphering “cryptic” nature of European rock-dwelling Pyramidula snails (Gastropoda: Stylommatophora)

description: Many molecular phylogenetic studies conclude by reporting discoveries of new “cryptic” species. However, these putative biological entities are typically left unverified outside of the DNA evidence or subjected to only superficial post-hoc analyses. Minute land snails of the Western Palearctic Pyramidula represent one of such examples being considered a cryptic species complex based on previously conducted molecular phylogeny. Several species appear indistinguishable due to noticeable shell tendency towards either high-spired (Pyramidula rupestris and P. jaenensis) or low-spired (P. saxatilis and P. pusilla) morphotype. Here, we challenge this conclusion by using mtDNA, nDNA, morphometric analyses and qualitative shell features, and seek for a potential evolutionary mechanism behind the conchological similarities. Through an empirical integration of multiple data types we document that the studied taxa can be visually distinguished. Unlike isolated shell measurements, CVAs based on traditional morphometrics and geometric morphometrics have power to separate all species from each other, except for P. saxatilis and P. pusilla. However, only a use of previously overlooked shell surface microsculpture makes it possible to identify individuals of all species. Considering tight associations between shell measurements and climate, we propose an evolutionary explanation based on optimization of thermal flux under different climatic selection pressures. Our study brings the awareness towards microscopic shell features, and outlines a general protocol to identify robust visual identification criteria in taxonomic groups containing cryptic (and non-cryptic) members. It also exemplifies an integration of various data types for macroscale species identification, which we believe should follow any discovery of putatively cryptic species.

description: Background Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have emerged as a sustainable and environmentally friendly option for a broad range of applications. The fibrous nature and high biopersistence of CNFs call for a thorough toxicity assessment, but it is presently unclear which physico-chemical properties could play a role in determining the potential toxic response to CNF. Here, we assessed whether surface composition and size could modulate the genotoxicity of CNFs in human bronchial epithelial BEAS-2B cells. We examined three size fractions (fine, medium and coarse) of four CNFs with different surface chemistry: unmodified (U-CNF) and functionalized with 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO) (T-CNF), carboxymethyl (C-CNF) and epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (EPTMAC) (E-CNF). In addition, the source fibre was also evaluated as a non-nanosized material. Results The presence of the surface charged groups in the functionalized CNF samples resulted in higher amounts of individual nanofibrils and less aggregation compared with the U-CNF. T-CNF was the most homogenous, in agreement with its high surface group density. However, the colloidal stability of all the CNF samples dropped when dispersed in cell culture medium, especially in the case of T-CNF. CNF was internalized by a minority of BEAS-2B cells. No remarkable cytotoxic effects were induced by any of the cellulosic materials. All cellulosic materials, except the medium fraction of U-CNF, induced a dose-dependent intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The fine fraction of E-CNF, which induced DNA damage (measured by the comet assay) and chromosome damage (measured by the micronucleus assay), and the coarse fraction of C-CNF, which produced chromosome damage, also showed the most effective induction of ROS in their respective size fractions. Conclusions Surface chemistry and size modulate the in vitro intracellular ROS formation and the induction of genotoxic effects by fibrillated celluloses. One cationic (fine E-CNF) and one anionic (coarse C-CNF) CNF showed primary genotoxic effects, possibly partly through ROS generation. However, the conclusions cannot be generalized to all types of CNFs, as the synthesis process and the dispersion method used for testing affect their physico-chemical properties and, hence, their toxic effects.

Type species: Megalopsalis caeruleomontium Taylor, 2013b.
Other included species (original combinations): Megalopsalis atrocidiana Taylor, 2013b; Megalopsalis coronata Taylor, 2013b; Megalopsalis puerilis Taylor, 2013b.
Etymology: Gender masculine, from the historical genus Spinicrus (currently synonymised with Megalopsalis) and the suffix - oides, ‘resembling’.
Description: Pedipalp patella of both sexes lacking distinct apophysis or hypersetose area; tarsal claw with ventral tooth-row. Penis (Fig. 4b) with glans short to medium-length, subtriangular to subrectangular, rapidly narrowing beyond shaft-glans junction to become strongly compressed; bristle groups relatively long; shaft with relatively weak waist behind bristle groups. Spiracle with grate of mid-length, densely reticulate spines with multifurcate endings, and dense patch of lace tubercles in lateral corner (Taylor 2013b).
Comments: The species of Spinicruroides were left unassigned to species groups by Taylor (2013b). Though externally diverse in appearance, they form a cluster distinguishable from other Megalopsalis species by genital morphology. The sides of the glans converge less strongly than in other subgenera, so the overall shape is a narrower triangle or even rectangular, in contrast to the broader triangle of Intutoportula or Megalopsalis. The glans is also noticeably flatter in lateral view. Spinicruroides species are found in coastward regions of New South Wales and Queensland (Taylor 2013b).

description: In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic and claims that traditional masculinity may put some men at increased risk for infection, research reporting men’s health behaviors is critically important. Traditional masculine norms such as self-reliance and toughness are associated with a lower likelihood to vaccinate or follow safety restrictions. Furthermore, infection risk and traditional masculinity should be investigated in a differentiated manner including gender role orientation, underlying traditional masculine ideologies and male gender role conflict. In this pre-registered online survey conducted during March/April 2021 in German-speaking countries in Europe, 490 men completed questionnaires regarding contracting COVID-19 as confirmed by a validated test, fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S), and experience of psychological burden due to COVID-19. In addition, depression symptomatology was assessed by using prototypical internalizing and male-typical externalizing depression symptoms. Furthermore, self-identified masculine gender orientation, endorsement of traditional masculinity ideologies, and gender role conflict were measured. A total of 6.9% of men (n = 34) reported having contracted COVID-19 since the beginning of the pandemic. Group comparisons revealed that men who had contracted COVID-19 exhibited higher overall traditional masculine ideology and gender role conflict. Logistic regression controlling for confounders (age, income, education, and sexual orientation) indicated that only depression symptoms are independently associated with the risk of having contracted COVID-19. While prototypical depression symptoms were negatively associated with the risk of having contracted COVID-19, male-typical externalizing depression symptoms were positively associated with the risk of contracting COVID-19. For traditional masculinity, no robust association for an increased risk of contracting COVID-19 could be established, while higher male-typical externalizing depression symptoms were associated with an increased risk of contracting COVID-19.

description: Background Research that accurately represents how characteristics of sex work clients relate to sex workers’ labour conditions is crucial for informing evidence-based legislation which upholds sex workers’ human rights. As little quantitative research has examined how seeing regulars (repeat clients) impacts sex workers’ occupational safety, particularly under ‘end-demand’ criminalization in Canada, our study aimed to explore how seeing mostly regulars shapes workplace sexual violence and client condom refusal. Methods We drew on longitudinal data from a community-based open cohort of 900+ sex workers in Vancouver, recruited via time-location sampling during day and late-night outreach to indoor, outdoor, and online solicitation spaces. We used logistic regression analyses and multivariable GEE confounder models to 1) describe correlates of seeing mostly pre-screened, regular clients, 2) identify associations between seeing mostly regulars and odds of experiencing occupational outcomes of workplace sexual violence and client condom refusal, and 3) examine the interaction between seeing mostly regulars and work environment on workplace sexual violence and client condom refusal. Results Participants’ median age was 35, and 55.6% had completed high school. Over the 9-year study (n=925), 20.9% (193) experienced 282 events of workplace sexual violence and 40.2% (372) faced 702 events of client condom refusal. In multivariable GEE confounder models, seeing mostly regulars was associated with reduced odds of sexual violence (AOR 0.73, 95%CI 0.53-1.02, p=0.067) and client condom refusal (AOR 0.70, 95%CI 0.57-0.86). In multivariable GEE confounder models examining the additive interaction between seeing mostly regulars and work environment, participants who saw mostly regulars and primarily worked in outdoor or informal indoor venues faced significantly lower odds of experiencing workplace sexual violence (AOR 0.69, 95%CI 0.49-0.95) and client condom refusal (AOR 0.64, 95%CI 0.52 -0.80) relative to those who worked in the same venues and did not see mostly regulars. Conclusion Our findings highlight protective effects of seeing pre-screened regulars within a criminalized setting. Removal of ‘end-demand’ client criminalization is needed to enable sex workers to effectively screen clients, support HIV/STI prevention, and advance sex workers’ human rights.

description: Runway incursion is a persistent problem that has resulted in some of the most devastating accidents in aviation history. With ever increasing air traffic and more passengers, runway safety is of utmost priority to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and other agencies concerned with aviation. As the issue of aviation safety becomes increasingly important, developing a consistent application that detects runway incursions in various visibility conditions is crucial for the aviation industry. This thesis presents a novel method for detecting runway hazards in poor visibility conditions using image processing techniques. The first step is to obtain images of a runway on a clear day and compute the smoothness coefficients. Then edge detection is performed using the SUSAN edge detection algorithm. Finally, database of the smoothness coefficients and edge detected images is developed. For foggy images we compute the smoothness coefficients. Typically, foggy images have low contrast. Hence, before we perform edge detection, we enhance the image using Multi-Scale Retinex (MSR). The MSR provides the improvement in contrast and color constancy that is needed to enhance foggy images, by performing non-linear spatial/spectral transforms. After enhancement, the next step is to run the same edge detection algorithm with appropriate thresholds. Finally, we determine a hazard by comparing the edge detected images of images taken under dear and foggy conditions.

description: The “radius valley” is a feature in the short-period, small exoplanet population in Kepler and K2 data showing an abundance of super-Earths (1-2 R⊕) and mini-Neptunes (2-3.5 R⊕), with a relatively scarce population of intermediate-sized planets between the two. By employing updated stellar properties and implementing refined measures of completeness and reliability, we discover that the occurrence of super-Earths over that of mini-Neptunes has a period and stellar mass dependence. This result is explored in the context of atmospheric loss mechanisms. We use these dependencies to extrapolate the occurrence of Earths and super-Earths in the habitable zone of FGK stars. Finally, we discuss our results in the context of upcoming missions’ search for long-period small planets and their dependence on stellar mass.

title: Comparison of the Dichlorination of Organic N-Chloramines by Caroate and by Bisulfite: A Kinetic Study

description: Bisulfite is commonly used to dechlorinate chlorinated municipal wastewater. However, several studies suggest that bisulfite is not effective in dechlorinating N-chlorinated amino components of wastewater. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of an alternate dechlorinating agent, caroate (peroxysulfate), and to compare its rate of dechlorination of three different types of chloramines with that of bisulfite.

Four N-chlorinated amino compounds were investigated: N-chlorodiethylamine, N­ chloroalanylphenylalanine, N-chloroglycylphenylalanine, and N-[2-(N'-chloroimino)­ propanoyl]phenylalanine. These compounds were selected from different families of N­ chloramines to study the effect of structure on dechlorination by both caroate and bisulfite. At pH 7.0 and at 23 °C, caroate dechlorinated N-chlorodiethylamine, N-chloro­ alanylphenylalanine, N-chloroglycylphenylalanine, and N-[2-(N'-chloroimino)propanoyl]­ phenylalanine with the calculated second order rate constants of 27.7 (±0.96) M-1min-1, 2.61 (±0.01) M-1, 1.31(±0.09) M-1min-1, and 7.1 (±0.25) x 10-2M-1 min-1 respectively. Under the same conditions, the second order rate constants for the dechlorination of the same compounds by compounds by bisulfite were found to be 1.63 (±0.14) x I0'M-1 min-1, 1.86 (±0.09) x 103 M-1 min-1, 2.12 (±0.13) x 103 M-1min-1,7.8 (±1.5) x 1D2 M-1min-1, respectively using HPLC. When using amperometric titration at the same pH and temperature, the second order rate constants for these compounds were found to be 1.29 (±0.17) x 105 M·1 min·', 2.37 (±0.19) x 103 M· 1min•1, 2.01 (±0.11) x 103 M"1min·1, and 8.5 (±0.07) x 102 M·' min·', respectively.

In conclusion, caroate was found to be a very slow dechlorinating agent compared to bisulfite and it is not fast enough to replace bisulfite in the dechlorination of wastewater in treatment plants. Furthermore, the N-chloroketimines compared to the simple N-chloramines and N-chlorodipeptides studied was slowly dechlorinated by bisulfite. As a result it is likely that N-chloroketimines contribute to the pool of total residual chlorine compounds which are poorly reduced in the dechlorination of wastewater effluents by bisulfite.

Type species: Spinicrus nigricans Hickman, 1957.
Etymology: Gender neuter, from the historical genus Spinicrus (currently regarded as a synonym of Megalopsalis) with the diminutive suffix - ellum.
Description: As for the type and only species (Hickman 1957; Taylor 2013b).
Comments: This species was included in Megalopsalis by Taylor (2013b) along with other species of ‘ Spinicrus ’, though its distinctive appearance was commented on at the time. Since then, both morphological (see above) and molecular (Giribet et al. 2021b) phylogenetic analyses have placed M. nigricans in an isolated position from other Megalopsalis species. As such, it is here accorded its own genus.
Spinicrurellum may be readily distinguished from all other Enantiobuninae by its ozopores which are small and circular rather than oblong, and sit flush with the lateral margin of the prosoma rather than being raised on lobes. The genital morphology is also unique, with the penis being remarkably short, broad and flattened, and the glans being shorter than wide and subtrapezoidal (Fig. 4d). Major males, though seemingly rare (Taylor 2013b), have distinct dorsal rows of elongated denticles on the chelicerae that are only paralleled by those seen in Ungoliant photophaga (Taylor & Probert 2014).
