description: It has been widely accepted that the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is an important pathophysiologic pathway linking particulate matter (PM) exposure and adverse health effects. ROS can be either present on and/or within PM or generated in vivo by the interactions between PM and biological systems. Within the context of toxicology, PM oxidative potential (OP) is the capacity of PM to oxidize molecules in biological tissues or cells directly by oxidants that are present on and/or within PM and indirectly by the ROS generated via PM interactions with the biological system (e.g., fluids, cells, and tissues). In this review, we summarized the current PM OP measurement methods, current understanding of how PM physical characteristics and chemical compositions affect OP, and the epidemiological and toxicological evidence on whether PM OP is a better indicator than PM mass concentration for health effects. Among the two major types of OP measurement methods, cellular assays have been regarded to better reflect the actions of PM in a biological system than acellular assays. Recent epidemiological studies have associated short-term PM OP exposure with adverse cardiorespiratory health outcomes. Little is known about the health effects of long-term PM OP exposure and on the effect beyond the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. The existing evidence may be sufficient to suggest the use of PM OP as a more health-relevant exposure metric than conventional PM mass concentration, but critical methodologic issues must be resolved before this metric can be widely and accurately used.

description: More than three quarters of the dose from ionizing radiation is caused by natural radiation sources. In most European countries, groundwater is used as a source of drinking water, what can be an additional source of radiation since naturally occurring radionuclides in the bedrock can dissolve into groundwater. Although the Directive 2013/51/EURATOM establishes several parametric and screening values for different radioactivity parameters, there is a lack of harmonized information and publications available that evaluate the overall condition of drinking water in EU. Thereby, it is challenging to uniformly assess the current situation in European countries in regards of effective doses caused by the consumption of drinking water. This paper aims to collect the available information on the main radionuclides of interest in drinking waters of different European countries and create an overview of the existing situation.

description: Carbon capture and utilization (CCU) is an emerging technology with commercial potential to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into net zero or negative emission products. In microalgae-based CCU, microalgae utilize CO2 and sunlight to generate biomass for commercial applications. This paper reviews the current state of microalgal culture development for CCU and highlights its potential contribution to addressing climate change challenges. Current microalgal culture systems have not been designed for high throughput biomass growth and carbon capture. Raceways, high-rate algal ponds, and photobioreactors are the most widely used for microalgal cultivation at a large-scale. The limitations of these systems are related to microalgal growth requirements. Ponds are operated at narrow depth to ensure sufficient light distribution and thus need a large land surface. CO2 gas needs to be in a dissolved form for efficient utilization by microalgae. Innovative system designs to achieve optimized distribution of light, nutrient, and CO2 utilization for enhanced biomass production are crucial to achieve large-scale CO2 capture by microalgae. Data corroborated in this review highlights several innovative techniques to deliver CO2 effectively and enhance light illumination to microalgal cells. Submerged and internal illuminations can enhance light distribution without compromising culture volume and land requirements. CO2 delivery technique selections mainly depend on CO2 sources. The carbonation column appears to be the best option regarding efficiency, easy operation, and simple design. The downstream processes of microalgal culture (i.e. harvesting, biomass utilization, and water reuse) are important to make microalgae-based CCU a significant contribution to global carbon mitigation solutions.

description: The discovery of complete ammonia oxidizers, comammox Nitrospira, represents a breakthrough in the history of nitrification research. Nitrospira inopinata, which was obtained from an aquatic ecosystem, is the only pure comammox bacterial isolate reported so far. Ammonia oxidation kinetics of N. inopinata indicated that they prefer an oligotrophic lifestyle and may directly compete with ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), but representatives of comammox Nitrospira from terrestrial ecosystems are lacking. Current studies demonstrate that the functionally dominant comammox Nitrospira in terrestrial ecosystems are separated from most sequences obtained from aquatic and engineering systems. Clades A and B of comammox Nitrospira seemingly have different ecological preferences in soils, possibly due to their different ammonium uptake systems. Analyses of the evolutionary history indicate that some genes of comammox Nitrospira involved in ammonia oxidation could be laterally transferred from β-ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). Some comammox Nitrospira species may have similar ecological preferences with AOB and be functionally active in the niches where nitrification was previously considered to be dominated by AOB. Taken together, this review summarizes the recent findings of the biogeographical distribution and ecological preference of comammox Nitrospira in large-scale soil surveys, the responses of comammox Nitrospira to nitrogen application in soil, and the putative mechanisms underpinning the ecological niche of terrestrial comammox Nitrospira. These studies from terrestrial ecosystems suggest that comammox Nitrospira are not strictly oligotrophic but both oligotrophic and copiotrophic with a broader ecological niche breadth. Comammox Nitrospira in terrestrial ecosystems are abundant and active in both oligotrophic and copiotrophic environments. These findings have profoundly expanded our knowledge of the environmental niches of comammox Nitrospira and their relative contribution to nitrification in soils.

description: We present high spatial resolution maps of ro-vibrational molecular hydrogen emission from the environment of the GG Tau A binary component in the GG Tau quadruple system. The H2 v= 1-0 S(1) emission is spatially resolved and encompasses the inner binary, with emission detected at locations that should be dynamically cleared on several hundred-year timescales. Extensions of H2 gas emission are seen to ~100 AU distances from the central stars. The v = 2-1 S(1) emission at 2.24 microns is also detected at ~30 AU from the central stars, with a line ratio of 0.05 +/- 0.01 with respect to the v = 1-0 S(1) emission. Assuming gas in LTE, this ratio corresponds to an emission environment at ~1700 K. We estimate that this temperature is too high for quiescent gas heated by X-ray or UV emission from the central stars. Surprisingly, we find that the brightest region of H2 emission arises from a spatial location that is exactly coincident with a recently revealed dust "streamer" which seems to be transferring material from the outer circumbinary ring around GG Tau A into the inner region. As a result, we identify a new excitation mechanism for ro-vibrational H2 stimulation in the environment of young stars. The H2 in the GG Tau A system appears to be stimulated by mass accretion infall as material in the circumbinary ring accretes onto the system to replenish the inner circumstellar disks. We postulate that H2 stimulated by accretion infall could be present in other systems, particularly binaries and "transition disk" systems which have dust cleared gaps in their circumstellar environments.

description: We study the symmetry breaking of acoustic resonances measured by Ellegaard et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 77, 4918 (1996), in quartz blocks. The observed resonance spectra show a gradual transition from a superposition of two uncoupled components, one for each symmetry realization, to a single component well represented by a Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) of random matrices. We discuss the applicability of superstatistical random-matrix theory to the final stages of the symmetry breaking transition. A comparison is made between different formula of the superstatistics and a pervious work [Abd El-Hady et al, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 35, 2361 (2002)], which describes the same data by introducing a third GOE component. Our results suggest that the inverse-chi-square superstatistics could be used for studying the whole symmetry breaking process.

description: Scenarios of future urban expansion are intended to be plausible: diverse to reflect future uncertainty, yet realistically depicting expansion processes. We investigated the plausibility of scenarios derived from a novel data-driven simulation approach. In a Turing-like test, experts completed a quiz which challenged them to identify the map showing true urban expansion amidst three model-generated scenarios. Across diverse expansion patterns, ranging from compact to dispersed, the experts had no significant ability to identify the true pattern. The results are supportive of the use of machine learning with dynamic models to produce convincing and wide-ranging scenarios of future urban expansion.

description: During 2013, the American Samoa longline fishery continued to experience very challenging conditions with respect to declining catch of its primary target species, albacore tuna. This was also the case for most other marketable species. However, increasing catches of species, such as mahimahi, wahoo and yellowfin tuna, may indicate the beginning of an adaptation of this fishery to target species that fetch better prices in local fresh fish markets than at the cannery in Pago Pago, where albacore are landed. A summary of the fishery's catch and effort statistics for calendar year 2013, based on date of haul, is provided in Table 1.

description: There are over two million hectares of Acacia plantations in Vietnam and loss from infestations of ambrosia beetles is of increasing concern. In this study, we first determined the key taxa and the extent of damage, and then identified effective trap and lure combinations for trapping adult beetles, and finally quantified the seasonality of flight of Euwallacea for informing pest management decisions. Based on analysis of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, the greatest threats were confirmed as Euwallacea fornicatus and E. similis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), which are native to Southeast Asia but known as invasive species in South Africa and elsewhere. The damage incidence of Euwallacea ranged from 16.7% to 34.9% in Acacia plantations throughout Vietnam. There were no significant differences in the numbers of beetles captured between the three trap types (plastic bottles, funnels and panels). Ethanol and quercivorol were more effective as lures than cubeb oil, α-pinene or a distilled water control. Trapping from June 2020 to May 2021 revealed a bimodal frequency of E. fornicatus and E. similis in A. mangium and Acacia hybrid plantations, with captures peaking in April (spring) and October (autumn). These findings can be applied to develop early detection and trapping control programmes for Euwallacea in Acacia plantations in Vietnam and elsewhere.

description: Assessing variations in tree allometry is useful for understanding height growth strategies in relation to life-history trajectories, light competition and environmental restrictions. Scaling exponent and asymptotic heights obtained from height–diameter (HD) models may elucidate how trees optimise growth strategies and the potential drivers that influence tree height. Our main objective was to explore how the HD relationship in Bracatinga (Mimosa scabrella) varies along stands chronosequence and life history. The study was carried out in discontinuous stands located across the metropolitan region of Curitiba, southern Brazil. We used HD data from 300 temporary plots in chronosequences dating from a disturbance, which represented stand development after intervention, covering the life history of the species. Power and exponential models were fitted to data to describe the HD relationship over time. Mixed-effects models were applied to explain the height variations by stand characteristics. We found that tree height and allometry were influenced by stand development phase and tree life stage along the chronosequence. Changes in tree height were also driven by light competition related to certain stand characteristics, such as basal area, stem density and species diversity. We concluded that growth strategies are conditioned by interactions between light requirements along a tree’s life history and successional stand evolution. The results revealed that gradual changes in tree development might be recognised by stationary data along chronosequences. Quantifying changes in HD allometry has ecological and practical applications for explaining the strategies and drivers underpinning tree growth and providing useful knowledge for improving growing stock predictions and stand management.

The study focuses on a first evaluation by means of a one-group pretest/posttest design. Fifth-grade students (N = 166) answered a questionnaire pertaining to regular geography lessons (pretest) and took part in eight lessons with GeoBox, followed by a questionnaire regarding the experimental learning phase (posttest). Upon comparison of pretest and posttest scores, the results showed significant intra-individual differences regarding activation and students’ motivation. Students valued GeoBox and expected to be successful at tasks that entailed use of the kit.

description: A notion of meromorphic open-string vertex algebra is introduced. A meromorphic open-string vertex algebra is an open-string vertex algebra in the sense of Kong and the author satisfying additional rationality (or meromorphicity) conditions for vertex operators. The vertex operator map for a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra satisfies rationality and associativity but in general does not satisfy the Jacobi identity, commutativity, the commutator formula, the skew-symmetry or even the associator formula. Given a vector space \mathfrak{h}, we construct a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra structure on the tensor algebra of the negative part of the affinization of \mathfrak{h} such that the vertex algebra struture on the symmetric algebra of the negative part of the Heisenberg algebra associated to \mathfrak{h} is a quotient of this meromorphic open-string vertex algebra. We also introduce the notion of left module for a meromorphic open-string vertex algebra and construct left modules for the meromorphic open-string vertex algebra above.

description: Real-Time Systems often come with additional requirements apart from being functionally correct and adhering to their timing constraints. Another common additional optimization goal is to meet code size requirements. Code compression techniques might be utilized to meet code size constraints in embedded systems. We show how to extend a compiler targeting hard real-time systems by an asymmetric compiler-based code compression/decompression, where the compression is performed at the compilation time and the decompression takes place at the execution time. Moreover, experimental results show the impact of the decompression algorithm on the estimated Worst-Case Execution Time that is one of the key properties of hard real-time systems.

With the growth of mobile devices (e.g., smart-phones), on the one hand, and the quick development of the Internet (this has become the really pervasive network of today), on the other hand, the development of real-time pervasive applications has broadened. This paper focuses on the problem of drafting detection in the Ironman triathlons which causes serious problems for the majority of organizers regarding such competitions. A concept of drafting detection system in Ironman is based on the paradigm of pervasive computing. Results of performing a test system show that this concept can along with further development of computer technologies become a reality in the near future.

description: The exciton dynamics in a molecular heterodimer is studied as a function of differences in excitation and reorganization energies, asymmetry in transition dipole moments and excited state lifetimes. The heterodimer is composed of two molecules modeled as two-level systems coupled by the resonance interaction. The system-bath coupling is taken into account as a modulating factor of the energy gap of the molecular excitation, while the relaxation to the ground state is treated phenomenologically. Comparison of the description of the excitation dynamics modeled using either the Redfield equations (secular and full forms) or the Hierarchical quantum master equation (HQME) is demonstrated and discussed. Possible role of the dimer as an excitation quenching center in photosynthesis self-regulation is discussed. It is concluded that the system-bath interaction rather than the excitonic effect determines the excitation quenching ability of such a dimer.

description: The production of one hard jet in association with missing transverse energy is a major LHC search channel motivated by many scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. In scenarios with a weakly interacting dark matter candidate, like supersymmetry, it arises from the associated production of a quark partner with the dark matter agent. We present the next-to-leading order cross section calculation as the first application of the fully automized MadGolem package. We find moderate corrections to the production rate with a strongly reduced theory uncertainty.

Subjects: Crime, gambling, betting shop, social disorganisation theory, risky facilities, crime attractors and generators.

description: Critics alleged that there is a link between gambling provisioning and crime and scholars argue that gambling outlets serve as attractors of anti-social and criminal behaviours. This study compared the patterns of betting shops with different categories of crime in England. using a spatial longitudinal approaches b at neighbourhood level. Spatial analysis and multilevel negative binomial model results identified significant effect of betting shops on crime, even after accounting for ethnic heterogeneity, concentrated disadvantage, and other neighbourhood factors. Our findings suggest risk factors of crime including betting shops converge in similar areas, and this creates opportunities for more crimes.

Year: 2023
Subjects: vulnerability; satellite data, post-disaster, survey, urban inequalities

description: On the 4th of August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the port of the city of Beirut exploded causing at least 200 deaths and over 7,000 injuries. This research builds on spatial survey data together with satellite imagery measuring the degree of damage of buildings to investigate the changing landscape of local vulnerabilities before and after the explosion. This original data is based on surveys conducted in 2018 and 2021 for representative samples of two Beirut neighbourhoods. The research evaluates alterations in vulnerability indicators (livelihoods, housing, and mental-wellbeing measures) and focuses on the added-values of combining satellite imagery with perception-based surveys to further the understanding of urban inequalities.

description: Due to natural disasters, economic development, tourism development and other factors, many precious heritage buildings have been in endangered situation. How to protect, research and develop these heritage resources effectively has become very urgent and important. Three-dimensional (3D) digital technology plays a more and more important role in protecting and using cultural heritage. The article will take the synthetic study on the mode of virtual construction, recovery, simulation and exhibition of Lingzhao Xuan (a heritage building which stopped construction for some reason in the Palace Museum) as an example to explore and summary an effective interdisciplinary cooperation mode. Besides, we broaden and deepen the concept of “virtual recovery”, and add the concept “virtual simulation” by means of virtual design and the new achievements which are created by such mode for the first time. This research is aimed to provide reference for the standard application of 3D digital technology and perfect the protection work of heritage buildings.

description: According to precise and scientific literature that recorded, Chinese tea culture has a documented history of more than 1700 years. During which period, Yuan Dynasty was considered a crucial turning-point with great changes. The current tea culture in China is an adoption and innovation of Ming and Qing dynasty, especially in the form of processing technology. For those elements inherited from Tang and Song dynasties, however, they were more directly adopted systematically by Japan. Ever since powdered tea culture from Song dynasty was accepted in Japan, Jianzhan, the tea bowl that gained renowned reputation in the Song tea culture was also introduced and became tenmoku (tianmu) after localization. As the transformation of Chinese tea culture ended in Japan, Japanese tea culture of wabi-cha was shaped after the tenmoku’s obvious decline in value. Jianzhan’s prosper, and tenmoku’s emergence and transition, all proved a definitive impact from intangible culture.

description: The issue of whether local magnetic moments can be formed by introducing adatoms into graphene is of intense research interest because it opens the window to fundamental studies of magnetism in graphene, as well as of its potential spintronics applications. To investigate this question we measure, by exploiting the well-established weak localization physics, the phase coherence length L_phi in dilute fluorinated graphene. L_phi reveals an unusual saturation below ~ 10 K, which cannot be explained by non-magnetic origins. The corresponding phase breaking rate increases with decreasing carrier density and increases with increasing fluorine density. These results provide strong evidence for spin-flip scattering and points to the existence of adatom-induced local magnetic moment in fluorinated graphene. Our results will stimulate further investigations of magnetism and spintronics applications in adatom-engineered graphene.
