From insoluble to soluble: An overview of processing methods for dietary fibers in okara

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2025

description: Dietary fibers are commonly categorized as water-soluble (SDF) or water-insoluble (IDF) dietary fibers. SDF possesses more favorable techno-functional and textural features than IDF. Consequently, many different modification procedures have been suggested to increase the SDF content in various matrices, such as okara, an IDF-rich side stream from soy milk production. The present review summarizes the treatments reported until August 2024 to increase SDF in okara and systematically compares their efficiencies. Biological treatments resulted in the lowest increase in SDF followed by chemical treatments. Physical treatment techniques were very diverse, and some were found to be extremely efficient. They increased the SDF content five- to nine-fold, with size reduction being the most efficient treatment. Selected combinations of techniques boosted the SDF content even more. Most efficient were steam explosion (a subcategory of size reduction treatments) alone or in combination with enzymatic treatment, which increased SDF from 3.5 to 31.9% DM on average, and the alkaline treatment of extruded okara, which increased SDF from 2.8 to 34.1% DM. Although current treatments achieve high final SDF amounts, one-third of the measured fiber content remains insoluble. This limitation could be addressed by a sound understanding of the structure of the SDF-containing composites and of the dietary fibers themselves, which could enable the design of treatments optimized for higher SDF contents. Higher SDF contents can improve the techno-functional and nutritional properties, as well as the economic value of okara.

description: Background and Objectives: Acute health care use varies by age, with older adults the highest users of acute health care services. Using data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), the aim of this study was to investigate the association between acute health care utiliza?tion (emergency department [ED] visit with or without hospitalization) at baseline and subjective and objective measures of function measured at 4-year follow-up. Research Design and Methods: This study represents a secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study, where data from Wave 1 (baseline) and Wave 3 of TILDA were analyzed in conjunction with a public and patient involvement group of older adults. Acute health care utilization was defined as an ED visit with or without hospitalization in the previous 12 months. Function was assessed objectively using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and a measure of grip strength, and subjectively using self-report limitations in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental ADL (IADL). Results: A total of 1 516 participants met the study inclusion criteria. Mean age was 70.9 ± 4.6 years and 48% were male. At baseline, 1 280 participants reported no acute health care use. One hundred and eighteen indicated an ED visit but no hospitalization in the previous 12 months and 118 reported both an ED visit and hospitalization. Adjusting for all covariates, compared to those with no acute health care utilization, those with an ED visit with no hospital admission had poorer TUG performance at follow-up (β = 0.67, 95% confidence interval: 0.34, 1.29, p = .039). Discussion and Implications: This paper supports previous research that acute health care events, specifically ED usage, are associated with reduced function for older adults as assessed by TUG at follow-up. No associations were observed for grip strength, ADL, or IADL. Further research is required in this area, exploring ED visits and the possible benefits of evaluating older adults at this stage.
Phase sensor for solar adaptive-optics

description: Wavefront sensing in solar adaptive-optics is currently done with correlating Shack-Hartmann sensors, although the spatial- and temporal-resolutions of the phase measurements are then limited by the extremely fast computing required to correlate the sensor signals at the frequencies of daytime atmospheric-fluctuations. To avoid this limitation, a new wavefront-sensing technique is presented, that makes use of the solar brightness and is applicable to extended sources. The wavefront is sent through a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A small, central part of the wavefront is used as reference and is made to interfere with the rest of the wavefront. The contrast of two simultaneously measured interference-patterns provides a direct estimate of the wavefront phase, no additional computation being required. The proposed optical layout shows precise initial alignment to be the critical point in implementing the new wavefront-sensing scheme.

Metasemantics, moderate inflationism, and correspondence truth
Creators: name: Moore, Graham Seth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: An object-based correspondence theory of truth holds that a truth-bearer is true whenever its truth conditions are met by objects and their properties. In order to develop such a view, the principal task is to explain how truth-bearers become endowed with their truth conditions. Modern versions of the correspondence theory see this project as the synthesis of two theoretical endeavours: basic metasemantics and compositional semantics. Basic metasemantics is the theory of how simple, meaningful items (e.g. names and concepts) are endowed with their contributions to truth conditions, and compositional semantics is the theory of how the meanings of simple items compose to generate (among other things) the truth conditions of sentences. Understanding truth along these broad lines was once popular; it was first championed by Field (1972). However, the once-popular conception of its tasks included an over-ambitious view of basic metasemantics. It was thought that reference needed to be analyzed (or reduced a posteriori) in terms of more fundamental, non-semantic relations (e.g. causal relations, indication, or teleological relations, in the case of mental representation). Obstacles in providing such an analysis engendered skepticism towards this understanding of truth and eventually gave way to its deflationary competitors. This dissertation aims to defend the modern, object-based correspondence theory against its rivals—especially deflationism. Chapter one provides a historically-grounded overview of the theory. Chapter two identifies two points of contrast between the correspondence theorist and the deflationist: they employ different orders of explanation for the variety of semantic phenomena, and they (traditionally) take different attitudes towards the prospects of reduction. Situating the dialectic in this way allows me to develop a middle ground: a moderate version of inflationism that takes the inflationary explanatory structure and combines it with a non-reductive, pluralist approach to basic metasemantics. Chapter three expands on the details of this pluralist account of reference. Chapter four contrasts the view with another rival approach to basic metasemantics: metasemantic interpretationism. And finally, chapter five applies the theory to answer another question of broad philosophical interest: what role does our conception of truth play in inquiry about the world?

description: We perform a first-principles computational tensile test on PuO$_{2}$ based on density-functional theory within local density approximation (LDA)+\emph{U} formalism to investigate its structural, mechanical, magnetic, and intrinsic bonding properties in the four representative directions: [001], [100], [110], and [111]. The stress-strain relations show that the ideal tensile strengths in the four directions are 81.2, 80.5, 28.3, and 16.8 GPa at strains of 0.36, 0.36, 0.22, and 0.18, respectively. The [001] and [100] directions are prominently stronger than other two directions since that more Pu$-$O bonds participate in the pulling process. Through charge and density of states analysis along the [001] direction, we find that the strong mixed ionic/covalent character of Pu$-$O bond is weakened by tensile strain and PuO$_{2}$ will exhibit an insulator-to-metal transition after tensile stress exceeds about 79 GPa.

description: Quantum optimal control theory is a powerful tool for engineering quantum systems subject to external fields such as the ones created by intense lasers. The formulation relies on a suitable definition for a target functional, that translates the intended physical objective to a mathematical form. We propose the use of target functionals defined in terms of the one-particle density and its current. A strong motivation for this is the possibility of using time-dependent density-functional theory for the description of the system dynamics. We exemplify this idea by defining an objective functional that on one hand attempts a large overlap with a target density and on the other hand minimizes the current. The latter requirement leads to optimized states with increased stability, which we prove with a few examples of one- and two-dimensional one-electron systems.

description: Schmid et al. [3] reported on the possibility to build up experimentally microcrystalline modifications of metals with icosahedral clusters M„ as the basic units of the structure. We theoretically investigate two possibilities to construct such superclusters : a) a formation of shell-like superclusters, and b) a generation of superclusters from superclusters. The numerically obtained results agree very well with many experimental data of the new metallic modification. They explain the growth of superclusters by a simple analytical model. Size effects of some mechanical properties of such superclusters can be predicted by analytical relations.
Exploring the lived experience of mental health of people with Phenylketonuria (PKU) : a phenomenological study
Creators: name: Swanson, Brittany Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: In this phenomenological study, written by a phenylketonuric Master’s of Science in Nursing student, the culture surrounding Phenylketonuria and mental health is explored. The purpose of this study is to increase understanding about how people with phenylketonuria (PKU) experience the culture surrounding their mental health. Mental health problems are common among people with PKU, and there is limited peer-reviewed information addressing patients’ experiences of that mental health and of the care surrounding those problems. The voice of the patient with phenylketonuria is nearly absent in the literature, so in this study four adult participants, all attending Adult Metabolic Clinics in Western Canada, provide narrative interviews that undergo a phenomenological analysis to discover the core themes and the essence of the patient experience. The overarching theme is that there is a general feeling of unsafety around mental health for the participants. This unsafety is infused into the culture and into some taken-for-granted practices surrounding the individuals; it has a considerable impact on their lives. The people with phenylketonuria and their lived experiences have largely been overlooked when developing care models as there is limited research that observes this perspective, and this has contributed to continued and harmful taken-for-granted practices. People with phenylketonuria have a greater chance of having their points of views considered in important life influencing care decisions when researchers push forth pieces enunciating patient voice into the literature expanse; this literature expanse, which currently lacks patient input is what informs healthcare providers’ approaches to prescribing and helping to manage this daily, way-of-life therapy.
title: Understanding the Relationship Between Upper Elementary Math Assessment Scores and Algebra I With Additional Supports
Creators: name: Goldring, Thomas
Publisher: name: Georgia Policy Labs
Year: 2021

description: Algebra I is viewed as a gateway course to college preparatory math. Some students require additional supports to succeed in Algebra I, including differentiated instruction and the strategic grouping of students. In this policy brief, Thomas Goldring analyzed one of the placement criteria used to assign students to Algebra I with additional supportsscores on statewide math assessments taken in upper elementary gradesin a metro-Atlanta school district. Are these test scores in fourth and fifth grade predictive of receiving additional supports in Algebra I years later?
We use administrative data from a metro-Atlanta school district. Students took Algebra I between school year (SY) 2015-16 and SY 2018-19. Most students took Algebra I in ninth grade, but about a sixth of students took Algebra I in eighth grade. Approximately 10% of students took the Algebra I assessment in grades 10 to 12. On average, 13% of students took Algebra I with additional supports.
We observe a strong statistical link between performance on the end-of-grade math assessment in fourth and fifth grades and the end-of-course Algebra I score years later; however, fifth-grade math scores are not particularly predictive of receiving additional supports in Algebra I. Algebra I students with additional supports have about as much chance of scoring better on Algebra I (compared to fifth-grade math) as students taking regular Algebra I. There is not an obvious, distinct cut point to assign students to Algebra I with additional supports using only the distribution of fifth-grade and fourth-grade math scores.
Our research has several policy implications. The district could place greater weight on math test scores in upper elementary grades when determining additional support needs for students taking middle school math coursework and Algebra I. In particular, the district could try to identify why some students scored well below the state average in upper elementary math but did not receive additional supports in Algebra I.

description: We outline initial concepts for an immune inspired algorithm to evaluate and predict oil price time series data. The proposed solution evolves a short term pool of trackers dynamically, with each member attempting to map trends and anticipate future price movements. Successful trackers feed into a long term memory pool that can generalise across repeating trend patterns. The resulting sequence of trackers, ordered in time, can be used as a forecasting tool. Examination of the pool of evolving trackers also provides valuable insight into the properties of the crude oil market.

title: Methods for fast volumetric fluorescence imaging based on 2D-3D volume reconstruction
Creators: name: Olesker, Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: Fluorescence microscopy offers unrivalled insight into the inner workings of dynamic biological processes across many temporal and spatial scales, with innovations such as light-sheet and confocal microscopy extending this imaging ability into all three spatial dimensions. When performed with these methods, however, 3D imaging lacks the high temporal resolution of 2D imaging. This is because acquisition of a volume requires the sequential acquisition of many individual 2D planes, with volumetric acquisition times often spanning multiple seconds. This means that such methods are unsuited to the 3D imaging of dynamic processes that occur over shorter timescales. Ideally, it would be possible to perform full 3D imaging in a single snapshot, in a similar fashion to 2D imaging. Yet, while snapshot volume-imaging methods do exist, they typically require a significant compromise in spatial resolution. We see, therefore, that with existing methods there is a trade-off: for 3D fluorescence imaging we must choose between techniques that provide high-resolution in space, but slow, plane-by­plane 3D imaging; or those that provide fast 3D imaging but at the cost of spatial resolution. In this thesis we introduce imaging techniques that overcome these limitations. Through the development of an image processing pipeline that offers volumetric re­construction from 2D projection images, we demonstrate how 3D fluorescence imaging may be performed while maintaining high resolution in both time and space. We apply the volume reconstruction framework to both simulated and experimental images ac­quired via two distinct projection imaging modalities, demonstrating the versatility of the technique. Additionally, we explore the benefits provided by the volumetric recon­struction pipeline in the context of single-molecule localisation microscopy. Because of the high temporal resolution offered by the volumetric imaging techniques introduced in this thesis, the methods are applicable to a wide range of dynamic biological samples and have the potential to offer new insight into dynamic biological processes. To the best of the author's knowledge, the snapshot volume imaging methods introduced here are the first such methods that maintain the resolution of the parent imaging system.

description: We have studied the optical properties of the heavy-fermion compound UNi2Al3 at frequencies between 100 GHz and 1 THz (3 cm^-1 and 35 cm^-1), temperatures between 2 K and 300 K, and magnetic fields up to 7 T. From the measured transmission and phaseshift of radiation passing through a thin film of UNi2Al3, we have directly determined the frequency dependence of the real and imaginary parts of the optical conductivity (or permittivity, respectively). At low temperatures the anisotropy of the optical conductivity along the a- and c-axes is about 1.5. The frequency dependence of the real part of the optical conductivity shows a maximum at low temperatures, around 3 cm^-1 for the a-axis and around 4.5 cm^-1 for the c-axis. This feature is visible already at 30 K, much higher than the Neel temperature of 4.6 K, and it does not depend on external magnetic fields as high as 7 T. We conclude that this feature is independent of the antiferromagnetic order for UNi2Al3, and this might also be the case for UPd2Al3 and UPt3, where a similar maximum in the optical conductivity was observed previously.

Separable reduction theorems by the method of elementary submodels

description: We introduce an interesting method of proving separable reduction theorems - the method of elementary submodels. We are studying whether it is true that a set (function) has given property if and only if it has this property with respect to a special separable subspace, dependent only on the given set (function). We are interested in properties of sets "to be dense, nowhere dense, meager, residual or porous" and in properties of functions "to be continuous, semicontinuous or Fréchet differentiable". Our method of creating separable subspaces enables us to combine our results, so we easily get separable reductions of function properties such as "be continuous on a dense subset", "be Fréchet differentiable on a residual subset", etc. Finally, we show some applications of presented separable reduction theorems and demonstrate that some results of Zajicek, Lindenstrauss and Preiss hold in nonseparable setting as well.

description: When a non-integrable system evolves out of equilibrium for a long time, local observables are expected to attain stationary expectation values, independent of the details of the initial state. However, intriguing experimental results with ultracold gases have shown no thermalization in non-integrable settings, triggering an intense theoretical effort to decide the question. Here we show that the phenomenology of thermalization in a quantum system is much richer than its classical counterpart. Using a new numerical technique, we identify two distinct thermalization regimes, strong and weak, occurring for different initial states. Strong thermalization, intrinsically quantum, happens when instantaneous local expectation values converge to the thermal ones. Weak thermalization, well-known in classical systems, happens when local expectation values converge to the thermal ones only after time averaging. Remarkably, we find a third group of states showing no thermalization, neither strong nor weak, to the time scales one can reliably simulate.

Moreover, exponential decay for such extended solutions is also proved. The results apply, in particular, to solitary wave solutions of many classical nonlinear evolution equations.

description:
Cherts are sturdy and ubiquitous throughout Earth history and therefore potentially ideal climatic archives, yet their diagenetic formation challenges straightforward interpretations. Previous work shows that oxygen isotope ratios (δ18Ochert) are not only controlled by seawater T and δ18Oseawater, but also by basal heat flow (Q) and burial rates, i.e. the diagenetic T-t path (Tatzel et al., 2022).

To strengthen the empirical evidence for the control of Q and burial rates on δ18Ochert we exploit the geological framework of the Rhenish Massif: During the Lower Carboniferous siliceous sediments were deposited onto stretched continental crust with variable Q across the basin. The opal mud then transformed during burial diagenesis into chert while tectonic nappes were stacked onto the autochthonous sediments during the Armorica- Laurussia collision.

To isolate the effects of the T-t-path on δ18Ochert we sampled isochronous cherts and siliceous shales from the Northern and Eastern margin of the Rhenish Massif. A decreasing trend in δ18Ochert from West-to-East (by >6 ‰) testifies to differences in burial rates and paleo-Q. We derive constraints on burial rates from peak diagenetic temperatures using Raman Spectrometry of carbonaceous matter and deconvolve for paleo-Q. Triple oxygen isotope compositions (Δ’17O) show increasing variations with increasing δ18Ochert – presumably a reflection of a wider range of diagenetic conditions in low-Q settings.

Gravel-bed river behaviour : modelling and analysis of process feedbacks over spatio-temporal scales
Creators: name: Adams, David Lawson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Alluvial rivers arise through process interactions between water and a deformable boundary. These processes are poorly understood in gravel-bed rivers as they are difficult to measure, and are often described using simple conceptual models. Perhaps the simplest is the 'fluvial trinity' which describes the feedbacks between sediment transport, morphology, and hydraulics. There are two aspects of channel dynamics not explicated by this model: (1) the spatial distribution of channel feedbacks, and (2) interactions between processes across spatial-temporal scales. This thesis examined the effect of these two aspects using a recirculating stream table, from which conceptual frameworks and analytical tools were developed. First, I modelled the response of a channel to successive increases in discharge and identified stage-dependent feedbacks that controlled the adjustment of the system towards a steady-state. Notably, at low flows, transport capacity was modulated by the spatial concentration of shear stress and channel deformation was controlled by larger-than-average grains. The following chapters focused on two components of the fluvial trinity. I combined recent advances in fluid dynamics, statistics, and remote sensing to estimate how roughness length varied across different physical scales. The novel techniqe provided an intuitive representation of how morphology and hydraulics vary across different scales, and affirmed the importance of bar-scale roughness in pool-riffle settings. I evaluated the performance of 1D and 2D bedload transport functions under high relative shear stress conditions. The results clarified that although the spatial distribution of shear stress may be required to predict transport under low stresses, 1D simplifications may be effective under high stresses. Despite being similarly accurate, the 1D and 2D approaches provided substantially different estimates of critical dimensionless shear stress, suggesting that the estimate and interpretation of critical shear stress may depend on whether it is averaged or considered a distribution. Finally, I reviewed hierarchical conceptual frameworks based on ideas of self-organisation or 'emergence' and their potential application to explain the relationship between processes occurring across different spatio-temporal scales within fluvial systems. These conceptual frameworks provide testable hypotheses about the relationship between process scales, and may have implications for understanding sediment transport and approaching physical modelling of rivers.

description:
Planetary surfaces hold evidence of past geological processes through the geomorphological record of landforms. Fast erosion rates, active tectonics, and a thick atmosphere contribute to partial or total loss of the terrestrial record, therefore leading to the misinterpretation and underestimation of the geological processes that formed it. Well-preserved extraterrestrial landforms, coupled with high resolution imagery, can compensate for the terrestrial missing geomorphological information. On the other hand, on Earth, we have direct access to landforms. Field observations are vital to gain insights into the mechanisms involved and into the environmental and climatic conditions in which landforms form. Therefore, the combination of terrestrial and planetary observations can be very effective in better understanding geological processes across the Solar System.

This talk will focus on long runout landslides and impact craters. I will discuss: a) the importance of comparative planetary geology in studying long runout landslides on Mars and Earth, in the attempt to understand their emplacement mechanisms and the link with climatic conditions; b) present day impact events on the Moon and the implications for Solar System chronology and impact flux rate.
Experimental Tests of the New Paradigm for Laser Filamentation in Gases

description: Since their discovery in the mid-1990s, ultrafast laser filaments in gases have been described as products of a dynamic balance between Kerr self-focusing and defocusing by free electric charges that are generated via multi-photon ionization on the beam axis. This established paradigm has been recently challenged by a suggestion that the Kerr effect saturates and even changes sign at high intensity of light, and that this sign reversal, not free-charge defocusing, is the dominant mechanism responsible for the extended propagation of laser filaments. We report qualitative tests of the new theory based on electrical and optical measurements of plasma density in femtosecond laser filaments in air and argon. Our results consistently support the established paradigm.

description:
Natural marine gas hydrate deposits are one of the largest solid carbon-sequestrated reservoirs on Earth. Here we show that, remarkably, over 80 percent of all natural hydrate-bearing systems exhibit stable periodicity (i.e. periodic growth and dissolution of massive gas hydrate layers) without any external forcing such as the bottom water warming or sea level fluctuations. This stable periodicity is the manifest of the intrinsic gas hydrate system dynamics related to a complex, kinetically controlled   interplay between three phases, e.g. the free gas, solid gas hydrate, and methane-saturated pore fluids. Our results state that, globally, periodic (cyclic) states are present for wide range of marine sediment type and sedimentation regimes and the length of each cycle can last from tens to hundreds of thousands of years with cyclic variations in gas hydrate concentration from 20 vol. % to 60 vol. %. Each cycle is also associated with periodic release of the free methane gas in large quantities without the presence of any external forcing. The apparent existence of the periodic states has profound implications setting hard limits on hydrate predictability and implies a systematic source of uncertainty embedded within hydrate dynamics. Moreover, the anthropogenic climate perturbations may overprint the natural gas hydrate cycle and push formerly stable hydrate reservoirs to new periodic states with large p-T-s fluctuations, thereby significantly increasing the risks of uncontrolled gas escape and geomechanical failures, or formerly periodic states towards chaotic states, making long-term predictions extremely challenging.

description: This thesis project argues that, in quoting both the Torah and a Gospel account together in 1 Timothy 5:18, the apostle Paul places them in equal textual and religious authority for his readers, during a time before the entire biblical / New Testament canon was officially established. The main methods used to show this will include research into history, religion, textual criticism, and literary practices of that era; and this via scholarly writings in Classics and Religious studies and biblical commentaries. We examine various ancient texts of the epistle to evaluate potential discrepancies (scribal errors, etc.) and to compare the exact wording of the primary sources (manuscripts of the Gospels, of Paul’s epistle, and of Torah in LXX). We also confer and reference various scholarly texts which analyze what meaning can be derived solely from the text. After compiling and evaluating these primarily literary sources, we also refer to potential historical/cultural factors which impact the meaning and intent of the writings (though this not to say that cultural phenomena and the grammar of language can be fundamentally separated in the first place). And of course, before all of this, it must be shown reasonable that the epistle was written by Paul in the first place. The final product is a mixture of all these types of valuation, organized around different areas of concern for the subject being discussed. The text in question is specifically the verse 1 Timothy 5:18, but more broadly, the goal is to examine the ways in which quotations were used by religiously- and historically-educated figures such as the apostle Paul in order to instruct and write to recipients (here, his apprentice Timothy), and to support specific arguments (here, that those with greater authority who serve responsibly in a religious organization should be recognized for it). This culminates in all the potential implications for his use of these quotations, such as a description of Paul’s overall view of “Scripture” (in the biblical sense); 1 Timothy’s date of composition; and Paul’s understanding of biblical composition in the New Testament era.

description: Topological insulators have gapless edge/surface states with novel transport properties. Among these, there are two classes of perfectly conducting channels which are free from backscattering: the edge states of two-dimensional topological insulators and the one-dimensional states localized on dislocations of certain three-dimensional topological insulators. We show how these novel states affect thermoelectric properties of the systems and discuss possibilities to improve the thermoelectric figure of merit using these materials with perfectly conducting channels.
