description: Background: Bamboo is a highly abundant source of biomass which is underutilized despite having a chemical composition and fiber structure similar as wood. The main challenge for the industrial processing of bamboo is the high level of silica, which forms water-insoluble precipitates negetively affecting the process systems. A cost-competitive and eco-friendly scheme for the production of high-purity dissolving grade pulp from bamboo not only requires a process for silica removal, but also needs to fully utilize all of the materials dissolved in the process which includes lignin, and cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars as well as the silica. Many investigations have been carried out to resolve the silica issue, but none of them has led to a commercial process. In this work, alkaline pretreatment of bamboo was conducted to extract silica prior to pulping process. The silica-free substrate was used to produce high-grade dissolving pulp. The dissolved silica, lignin, hemicellulosic sugars, and degraded cellulose in the spent liquors obtained from alkaline pretreatment and pulping process were recovered for providing high-value bio-based chemicals and fuel. Results An integrated process which combines dissolving pulp production with the recovery of excellent sustainable biofuel and biochemical feedstocks is presented in this work. Pretreatment at 95 °C with 12% NaOH charge for 150 min extracted all the silica and about 30% of the hemicellulose from bamboo. After kraft pulping, xylanase treatment and cold caustic extraction, pulp with hemicellulose content of about 3.5% was obtained. This pulp, after bleaching, provided a cellulose acetate grade dissolving pulp with α-cellulose content higher than 97% and hemicellulose content less than 2%. The amount of silica and lignin that could be recovered from the process corresponded to 95 and 77.86% of the two components in the original chips, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation of the concentrated and detoxified sugar mixture liquor showed that an ethanol recovery of 0.46 g/g sugar was achieved with 93.2% of hydrolyzed sugars being consumed. A mass balance of the overall process showed that 76.59 g of solids was recovered from 100 g (o.d.) of green bamboo. Conclusions The present work proposes an integrated biorefinery process that contains alkaline pre-extraction, kraft pulping, enzyme treatment and cold caustic extraction for the production of high-grade dissolving pulp and recovery of silica, lignin, and hemicellulose from bamboo. This process could alleviate the silica-associated challenges and provide feedstocks for bio-based products, thereby allowing the improvement and expansion of bamboo utilization in industrial processes.

description: Effectiveness of maintenance programs of existing concrete bridges is highly dependent on the accuracy of the deterioration parameters utilised in the asset management models of the bridge assets. In this paper, bridge deterioration is modelled using non-homogenous Poisson processes, since deterioration of reinforced concrete bridges involves multiple processes. Minimum Message Length (MML) is used to infer the parameters for the model. MML is a statistically invariant Bayesian point estimation technique that is statistically consistent and efficient. In this paper, a method is demonstrated estimate the decay-rates in non-homogeneous Poisson processes using MML inference. The application of methodology is illustrated using bridge inspection data from road authorities. Bridge inspection data are well known for their high level of scatter. An effective and rational MML-based methodology to weed out the outliers is presented as part of the inference.

description: Bildung bedeutet den Singapureanem viel und ist eines der bestimmenden Themen in den Gesprächen, die die Leute auf verschiedenen Ebenen führen. Und es ist sicherlich kein Zufall, daß in den 20 Kapiteln des 1989 herausgegebenen Singapur Jahrbuchs nur "Handel und Tourismus" und "Finanzen und Börse" einen größeren Raum einnehmen. Das Bildungssystem selbst ist häufig modifiziert und auf den neuesten Stand gebracht worden, und, anders als in Großbritannien, wo sich inkompetente und unerfahrene Minister in schnellem Wechsel ablösen, haben die Bildungsminister in Singapur ausreichendes Format und bleiben lange genug in ihrem Amt, um ernst genommen zu werden.

description: Background: Sialic acid storage diseases are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of sialic acid in the lysosome. These disorders are caused by mutations in SLC17A5, the gene encoding sialin, a sialic acid transporter located in the lysosomal membrane. The most common form of sialic acid storage disease is the slowly progressive Salla disease, presenting with hypotonia, ataxia, epilepsy, nystagmus and findings of cerebral and cerebellar atrophy. Hypomyelination and corpus callosum hypoplasia are typical as well. We report a 16 year-old boy with an atypically mild clinical phenotype of sialic acid storage disease characterized by psychomotor retardation and a mixture of spasticity and rigidity but no ataxia, and only weak features of hypomyelination and thinning of corpus callosum on MRI of the brain. Results: The thiobarbituric acid method showed elevated levels of free sialic acid in urine and fibroblasts, indicating sialic acid storage disease. Initial Sanger sequencing of SLC17A5 coding regions did not show any pathogenic variants, although exon 9 could not be sequenced. Whole exome sequencing followed by RNA and genomic DNA analysis identified a homozygous 6040 bp insertion in intron 9 of SLC17A5 corresponding to a long interspersed element-1 retrotransposon (KF425758.1). This insertion adds two splice sites, both resulting in a frameshift which in turn creates a premature stop codon 4 bp into intron 9. Conclusions: This study describes a novel pathogenic variant in SLC17A5, namely an intronic transposal insertion, in a patient with mild biochemical and clinical phenotypes. The presence of a small fraction of normal transcript may explain the mild phenotype. This case illustrates the importance of including lysosomal sialic acid storage disease in the differential diagnosis of developmental delay with postnatal onset and hypomyelination, as well as intronic regions in the genetic investigation of inborn errors of metabolism.

description: Als im letzten Dezember das neue Schuljahr begann, herrschte vor allen unter den Schülern der 10. Klasse große Verwirrung, weil sie nicht sicher waren, in welche Klassen sie von ihre Schulen zugewiesen würden. Diese Verwirrung resultierte daraus, daß die malaysischen Schulen erstmals die Zweige Naturwissenschaft und Geisteswissenschaft in der Oberstufe abgeschafft haben. Dies ist nur eine der vielen Reformen, die seit der Veröffentlichung des Berichts des Kabinettskomitees im November 1979 in unserem Schulsystem eingeführt wurden. Dieser Beitrag ist eine kritische Betrachtung von einigen dieser Bildungsreformen - er analysiert ihre gedanklichen und innovativen Merkmale und beleuchtet sowohl ihre beabsichtigten als auch die unbeabsichtigten Ergebnisse.

Das Militär war offensichtlich nicht glücklich über dieses Ergebnis, ist aber zweifellos dankbar dafür, daß es noch über genügend Macht verfügt, um an einer während ihrer Amtszeit eingeleiteten Maßnahme festzuhalten: die Verfolgung ihres beständigen Kritikers, des Nobelpreis- Kandidaten Sulak Sivaraksa. Am ersten Prozeßtag am 2. Juni wurde sein Antrag auf Wiederaufnahme der Ermittlungen vom Gericht abgelehnt.

description: Seit mehr als sieben Jahrhunderten spielt der Buddhismus eine sehr wichtige Rolle im thailändischen Bildungswesen, vom frühen Königreich Sukhothai im 12. Jahrhundert bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhundert, als die Könige Rama der IV. und V. Thailand in das neue Zeitalter der Modernisierung hinüberführten. Man kann sagen, daß in dieser langen historischen Zeitspanne der Buddhismus die Lebensweise der thailändischen Bevölkerung darstellte. Der Tempel war das Zentrum eines Dorfes oder einer Stadt. Er diente dem Gemeinwesen zur Ausübung der Religion, zu Bildungs- und Erholungszwecken, sowie zur Ausrichtung von Festlichkeiten. Ein Mönch war nicht nur eine führende Persönlichkeit in intellektuellen Tätigkeiten, sondern auch in der Lage, diejenigen zu behandeln, die unter psychischen oder physischen Erkrankungen zu leiden hatten, durch die Anwendung des Buddhismus, des Aberglaubens und einfache medizinische Anwendungen mit Heilkräutern. Der Tempel war einst für Thais alles: Schule, Spielplatz, Klinik oder künstlerisches Zentrum.

description: Das Spielen am Computer ist die häufigste Tätigkeit der Kinder am Computer, wobei Spiele mit Gewaltinhalten bevorzugt werden. Spielgewalt wird von erwachsenen Spielerinnen und Spielern empathiefrei, stark ästhetisiert und rein funktionalistisch wahrgenommen. Das bedeutet, dass die Spielerinnen und Spieler reale Gewalt meist von fiktionaler Gewalt abgrenzen können. Unter dem Aspekt dass Kinder unter acht Jahren Realität und Fiktion nicht trennscharf unterscheiden können, sind Spiele, die realitätsnahe Straftaten zeigen, laut Jugendschutzgesetz nicht für Kinder unter 18 Jahren geeignet (JuSchG §15). Im Rahmen dieser Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob Kinder im Grundschulalter Spiele spielen, die ohne Jugendfreigabe sind. Um diese Frage beantworten zu können, wird das Spiel Grand Theft Auto IV herangezogen, da GTA IV das am häufigsten verkaufte Spiel ohne Jugendfreigabe weltweit war. Zunächst wird der Spielinhalt analysiert, um aufzuzeigen, mit welchen Inhalten die Kinder durch das Spiel in Kontakt kommen. Mithilfe eines Fragebogens wurden 639 Schülerinnen und Schüler aus fünf Grundschulen befragt, ob sie GTA IV spielen. Die gewonnenen Daten werden sowohl in Hinblick auf Milieuunterschieden als auch in Hinblick auf Geschlechtsunterschieden betrachtet.

description: This working paper evaluates the impact of the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) Livestock Compact in Ethiopia. It focuses on enhancing productivity in the small ruminant sector, particularly sheep and goat production, which is essential for food security and youth employment.

Key interventions included introducing improved sheep fattening technologies that reduced the fattening period from 6-9 months to just 90 days, promoting sustainable forage production, and providing training for youth and women in sheep fattening and entrepreneurship. The program also established community-based breeding programs and communities of practice to encourage collective action.

Significant outcomes include forming 40 breeding programs, 12 communities of practice, and 44 youth groups, empowering 485 youths, including 154 women. The initiative increased sales revenue and environmental sustainability through soil and water conservation practices.

The findings highlight the need for integrating technological innovations with community-based approaches and emphasize the importance of empowering youth and women. Recommendations for future interventions include conducting comprehensive evaluations of the program’s impact and enhancing private sector involvement to ensure long-term sustainability.

description: For cities seeking sustainability, the Ecological Footprint seems to be an excellent metric, potentially catalyzing actions directed outwards, at environmental problems beyond city limits. But does this metric actually guide cities down sustainable pathways? Through a case study of the City of Vancouver’s Greenest City Action Plan we ask what barriers and side effects accompany a city’s application of a specific metric to measure achievement towards sustainability goals. Our case study began by examining a particular approach to achieving EF reduction (proposed by the City: local beef). Through a triple loop learning approach we broadened our analysis to include additional policy options not originally on the table. For each of four policy options (1. local beef, 2. grass-fed beef, 3. payments for ecosystem services, and 4. using a proxy metric focused on individual and community leadership) we evaluate their ability to meet the Ecological Footprint metric, consider their potential to address the broader goal and discuss their feasibility as policy options for the city. Our analysis showed the ways the Ecological Footprint metric: a. focused attention on non-actionable policy areas, b. was nonresponsive to promising policy options and c. limited the types of policy options considered. In this case we demonstrate how the choice of the Ecological Footprint as a metric and goal had unintended consequences and instead shifted attention and policy inwards. By avoiding this ‘metric trap,’ cities might contribute importantly to regional and global sustainability.

description: Start and Improve Your Business (SIYB) is an entrepreneurial training program created, sponsored and disseminated by the International Labour Organization. SIYB is, arguably, the world's largest skills enhancement program for entrepreneurs. SIYB has been in operation since the early 1970s and currently operates in almost 80 countries. During the last decade, more than 100,000 entrepreneurs, thousand of trainers and hundreds of small enterprise development organizations around the world have participated in it (Samuelsen 2003). Surprisingly for an education program of this magnitude and potential global importance, there has been relatively little program evaluation performed. What evaluation has been conducted has been unsystematic, un-quantitative and unsatisfactory. Meanwhile, in the nation of Botswana, since the mid seventies, there has been a huge growth in programs devoted to the training of small and medium entrepreneurs. The SIYB program has formed a significant component of this entrepreneurial training effort in Botswana (ILO 1996). SIYB training was initially supported by the United Nations and later by the Botswana government. Since its introduction into Botswana in1983, the SIYB program has only been evaluated once, in 1993 (IFS 1993). The methods used (subjective questionnaire administered to an unsystematic sample of past participants) fails to provide a satisfactory evaluation of the program. So, in Botswana and worldwide, the world's largest entrepreneurial training program continues to run in the absence of any knowledge concerning its efficacy. The study articulated in this abstract forms the first phase of a research project that seeks to fill this gap in our knowledge.

A miniature wireless neural recording system
Creators: name: Jiang, Zhou
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This thesis presents a novel high performance miniature wireless neural recording system that is able to acquire neural activity sensed from microelectrodes implanted directly in the brain and transmit the data wirelessly to a remote receiver. The core of the system is a customized integrated circuit (ASIC) which is composed of 16 low-power and low-noise neural amplifiers, 16 low-power analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a digital processor, a low-power short-range RF transmitter and a low-power phase-locked loop (PLL). All of these blocks are optimized for power consumption using innovative circuit design techniques. The integrated circuit amplifies, filters and digitizes neural signals from 16 channels and then transmits them out wirelessly, via the license-free ISM band (2.4-2.5GHz). The ASIC is fabricated in an AMS 0.18-μm CMOS process and assembled on a miniature PCB with a crystal reference clock, a small Zinc Air battery and its battery holder, a headstage connector, an external loop antenna and several decoupling capacitors. The thesis proves that, due to the innovative low power IC design techniques proposed, the 16-channel, 12-bit system’s power consumption can be reduced to 3.1mW, which makes possible continuous recording from a very small battery for 72 hours. The whole miniature system weighs 1.47g including a small battery. Experimental results demonstrate that the system is capable of acquiring all potential neural signals of interest, including EEG signals, local field potentials (LPF) and action potentials. The major contribution of the proposed system is to significantly boost the battery lifetime of the relevant state-of-the-art systems from 1-15 hours to 72 hours while still maintaining the highest recording resolution, bandwidth, channel number and one of the smallest sizes and weights. As a result, it has provided the neuroscience community with a miniature, lightweight and high-performance wireless technology for recording neural activity without tethering or restraining the test subjects. Moreover, its small size and weight further improve the welfare of the test subjects and encourage them to move freely and behave normally and naturally without affecting their affective states, yielding the most accurate and faithful correlation between subjects’ neural activities and behavioral outcomes.

description: It has been argued that entrepreneurship researchers do not place sufficient emphasis on making their research findings relevant to entrepreneurs and their advisors. The paper utilises five general principles introduced by Hindle, Anderson and Gibson (2004) to convert a complex range of entrepreneurship research findings into useful action guidelines for practicing entrepreneurs. The existing research-based knowledge concerning opportunity assessment is distilled into a diagrammatic framework. This framework and a sequence of ten, plain-English questions, provides entrepreneurs and SME operators with a strategic tool (nick-named the '4/10 strategy') for discovering, evaluating and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunities.

description: Im folgenden Artikel bezichtigt Dr. Ariffin Omar in ALIRAN Monthly die politischen Führer Malaysias der Heuchelei, wenn sie die Doppelmoral des Westens beklagen. Sie sollten ihre eigene Doppelmoral sehen. Sie verurteilen zu Recht den Westen, weil er die Leiden des bosnischen Volkes und anderer unterdrückter Völker ignoriert. Gleichzeitig aber verwehren sie den Malaysiern ihre grundlegend Menschenrechte, z.B. durch die Existenz von Gesetzen wie das Gesetz zur Inneren Sicherheit (Internal Security Act, ISA).

description: In March 2023, the first meeting between Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) and the African Agricultural Leadership Institute (AALI) took place in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This collaboration seeks to promote the advancement of agricultural technologies in Africa, with a particular focus on the DRC. The mission involved high-level meetings with DRC government officials, field visits, and discussions with public and private sector partners to integrate TAAT technologies into African Development Bank (AfDB)-funded projects. AALI plans to use its Pan-African network to promote TAAT-endorsed technologies and organize subregional conferences for their integration into national and regional agricultural programs. The mission highlighted the need for sustainable seed systems, knowledge transfer, and stakeholder collaboration to drive agricultural development in the DRC.
A large closed queueing network containing two types of node and multiple customer classes: one bottleneck station
Creators: name: Abramov, Vyacheslav M.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The paper studies a closed queueing network containing two types of node. The first type (server station) is an infinite server queueing system, and the second type (client station) is a single server queueing system with autonomous service, i.e. every client station serves customers (units) only at random instants generated by strictly stationary and ergodic sequence of random variables. It is assumed that there are r server stations. At the initial time moment all units are distributed in the server stations, and the ith server station contains N i units, i=1,2,...,r, where all the values N i are large numbers of the same order. The total number of client stations is equal to k. The expected times between departures in the client stations are small values of the order O(N -1) (N=N 1+N 2+...+N r). After service completion in the ith server station a unit is transmitted to the jth client station with probability p i,j (j=1,2,...,k), and being served in the jth client station the unit returns to the ith server station. Under the assumption that only one of the client stations is a bottleneck node, i.e. the expected number of arrivals per time unit to the node is greater than the expected number of departures from that node, the paper derives the representation for non-stationary queue-length distributions in non-bottleneck client stations.

description: Background: Interruptions are common in the healthcare setting. This experimental study compares the effects of interruptions on simulated performances of central venous catheterization during a highly versus minimally complex portion of the task. Methods: Twenty-six residents were assigned to interruptions during tasks that are (1) highly complex: establishing ultrasound-guided venous access (experimental group, n = 15) or (2) minimally complex: skin cleansing (control group, n = 11). Primary outcomes were (a) performance scores at three time points measured with a validated checklist, (b) time spent on the respective tasks, and (c) number of attempts to establish venous access. Results: Repeated measure analyses of variances of performance scores over time indicated no main effect of time or group. The interaction between time and group was significant: F (2, 44) = 4.28, p = 0.02, and partial eta2 = 0.16, indicating a large effect size. The experimental group scores decreased steadily over time, while the control group scores increased with time. The experimental group required longer to access the vein (148 s; interquartile range (IQR) 60 to 361 vs. 44 s; IQR 27 to 133 s; p = 0.034). Median number of attempts to establish venous access was higher in the experimental group (2, IQR 1–7 vs. 1, IQR 1–2; p = 0.03). Conclusions: Interruptions during a highly complex task resulted in a consistent decrement in performance scores, longer time required to perform the task, and a higher number of venous access attempts than interruptions during a minimally complex tasks. We recommend avoiding interrupting trainees performing bedside procedures.

description: Several encouraging pre‐clinical results highlight the melanin‐concentrating hormone receptor 1 (MCHR1) as promising target for anti‐obesity drug development. Currently however, experimentally resolved structures of MCHR1 are not available, which complicates rational drug design campaigns. In this study, we aimed at developing accurate, homologymodel‐based 3D pharmacophores against MCHR1. We show that traditional approaches involving docking of known active small molecules are hindered by the flexibility of binding pocket residues. Instead, we derived three‐dimensional pharmacophores from molecular dynamics simulations by employing our novel open‐source software PyRod. In a retrospective evaluation, the generated 3D pharmacophores were highly predictive returning up to 35 % of active molecules and showing an early enrichment (EF1) of up to 27.6. Furthermore, PyRod pharmacophores demonstrate higher sensitivity than ligand‐based pharmacophores and deliver structural insights, which are key to rational lead optimization.

Investigation of solar cells and phototransistors based on hybrid copper (I) thiocyanate: methanofullerene materials

description: The combination of organic and inorganic semiconductors offers a route to the development of solar cells and other optoelectronic devices that combine flexibility, high efficiency and high stability. In this thesis, we have investigated the hybrid organic: inorganic system, copper (I) thiocyanate (CuSCN): phenyl C71 butyric methyl acid ester (PC70BM). We have shown that ~100 nm long CuSCN nanowires can be grown within PC70BM when a layer of PC70BM containing dilute CuSCN is deposited on top of a CuSCN layer on a heated substrate. Photovoltaic devices made from these nanowire-containing layers perform significantly better than devices made from CuSCN/PC70BM bilayers because the nanowires improve charge collection efficiency. The initial device based on a nanowire-containing CuSCN:PC70BM structure, the device shows ~5% power conversion efficiency. We show that these CuSCN NWs form well when the substrate temperature is about 115oC. We then discovered that by spin-coating interlayers with a CuSCN rich precursor solution between the compact CuSCN layer and CuSCN:PC70BM photoactive mixed layer, the power conversion efficiency could be further improved to nearly 6% power conversion efficiency. Finally, we measured the carrier mobility of CuSCN:PC70BM layer using field-effect transistors. We find the carrier mobility values for holes and electrons to be on the order of 10-3 to 10-2 cm2/Vs, similar to values for typical organic semiconducting materials. We have also characterized the same device as a phototransistor by illuminating the active area with light in the visible range. This work has demonstrated the concept of the initial application of CuSCN nanowires, which has never been reported in any organic: inorganic mixed layer. CuSCN nanowires could be a new approach for optimizing charge separation in light-absorbing acceptor systems.

description: Background: Non-optic gliomas occur in 5% of children with NF1, but little is known about these tumours in adults. We aimed to investigate progression, spontaneous regression and the natural history of non-optic gliomas in adults and compare these findings to the results found in children. Results One thousand seven hundred twenty-two brain MRI scans of 562 unselected individuals with NF1 were collected at the NF outpatient department of the University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf between 2003 and 2015. The number of scans per patient ranged from one to 12; patients were followed for a median of 3.7 years. We identified 24 patients (4.3%) with non-optic gliomas. Median age at first scan with glioma was 21.2 years, much higher than in previous publications. Only seven of the 24 non-optic glioma patients were symptomatic. Five of 24 patients had multiple non-optic gliomas. Four individuals developed a new tumour, and 4 cases showed progression. The risk of new tumour development was 0.19% (95% confidence interval 0.06% to 0.52%) per patient year of follow-up for patients over 10 years. The rate of progressing non-optic gliomas per patient year of follow-up in the first 5 years after tumour diagnosis was 4.7% (95% confidence interval 1.5% to 12%). Conclusions Non-optic gliomas are twice as common in an unselected cohort of NF1 patients as previously reported. This is likely due to increased frequency of diagnosis of asymptomatic tumours when routine MRIs are performed and a higher prevalence in older individuals.
