Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic brought along an “infodemic” which has been amplified in the digital world. We intend to discuss the harmful content onTwitter during the COVID-19 pandemic and the approaches to solve theproblem taken by different sides. We first lay out how disinformation and misinformation have become problems negatively affecting society. We then present solutions and roles by three organisational clusters, namely the platform Twitter itself, governing bodies in the EU and Germany, and civil society such, as the news media and NGOs. Firstly, Twitter’s response can be found in their guidelines against harmful content during this pandemic. Secondly, we analyse Germany’s Network Enforement Act and the EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA). Thirdly, we present criticism from civil society such as “netzpolitik.org” and “HateAid”. In conclusion, the paper finds it important to have all three clusters working together to form an effective system against harmful content online, which is in fact advocated by the EU’s DSA.The COVID-19 pandemic brought along an “infodemic” which has been amplified in the digital world.

description: We describe a cognitive architecture intended to solve a wide range of problems based on the five identified principles of brain activity, with their implementation in three subsystems: logical-probabilistic inference, probabilistic formal concepts, and functional systems theory. Building an architecture involves the implementation of a task-driven approach that allows defining the target functions of applied applications as tasks formulated in terms of the operating environment corresponding to the task, expressed in the applied ontology. We provide a basic ontology for a number of practical applications as well as for the subject domain ontologies based upon it, describe the proposed architecture, and give possible examples of the execution of these applications in this architecture.

Understanding Why Interpersonal Interactions between Police Officers and Civilians Can Go Poorly
Creators: name: Burke, Kelly C
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: American society is raw with racial strife—racially charged incidents between the police and Black civilians have sparked massive protests over disparities in policing. This has led many to stereotype police officers as racists, and officers themselves are aware of this. The primary aim of this research was to explore how police officer emotion, cognition, and interpersonal behavior differ during routine encounters with Black versus White civilians. I also examined the phenomena of stereotype threat among police officers: officers’ fear of confirming or being perceived in a manner consistent with the “racist police officer” stereotype. This research was driven by a novel theoretical model of the various psychological constructs (stereotype threat activation, anxiety, self-regulation, cognitive depletion, empathy) and the pathways among them that might explain when and why police officers display negative interpersonal behavior during routine encounters with Black (vs. White) civilians. The study employed a new experimental paradigm involving a mixed-method approach that consisted of having police officer participants take the role of a police officer in a realistic first-person-perspective video induction depicting a routine traffic stop. Afterwards, police officers responded to a series of open- and closed-ended measures to assess the core paths of the model. Results did not support the theorized mediation model nor did officers’ responses differ significantly as a function of civilian race (with the exception of how similar they felt to the driver), perhaps reflecting a genuine effort on officers’ part to monitor their responses in an attempt to be fair and equitable in their policing. Results did, however, provide preliminary support for the theorized relations among stereotype threat activation, anxiety, self-regulation, and interpersonal behavior.
The biological speciation and toxicokinetics of aluminum

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: This review discusses recent literature on the chemical and physiological factors that influence the absorption, distribution, and excretion of aluminum in mammals, with particular regard to gastrointestinal absorption and speciation in plasma. Humans encounter aluminum, a ubiquitous yet highly insoluble element in most forms, in foods, drinking water, and pharmaceuticals. Exposure also occurs by inhalation of dust and aerosols, particularly in occupational settings. Absorption from the gut depends largely on pH and the presence of complexing ligands, particularly carboxylic acids, with which the metal can form absorbable neutral aluminum species. Uremic animals and humans experience higher than normal body burdens of aluminum despite increased urinary clearance of the metal. In plasma, 80-90% of aluminum binds to transferrin, an iron-transport protein for which receptors exist in many tissue. The remaining fraction of plasma aluminum takes the form of small-molecule hydroxy species and small complexes with carboxylic acids, phosphate, and, to a much lesser degree, amino acids. Most of these species have not been observed in vivo but are predicted from equilibrium models derived from potentiometric methods and NMR investigations. These models predict that the major small-molecule aluminum species under plasma conditions are charged and hence unavailable for uptake into tissues.

The Role of Airway Mucus in Pulmonary Toxicology
Creators: name: Samet, J M

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Airway mucus is a complex airway secretion whose primary function as part of the mucociliary transport mechanism is to to serve as renewable and transportable barrier against inhaled particulates and toxic agents. The rheologic properties necessary for this function are imparted by glycoproteins, or mucins. Some respiratory disease states, e.g., asthma, cystic fibrosis, and bronchitis, are characterized by quantitative and qualitative changes in mucus biosynthesis that contribute to pulmonary pathology. Similar alterations in various aspects of mucin biochemistry and biophysics, leading to mucus hypersecretion and altered mucus rheology, result from inhalation of certain air pollutants, such as ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and cigarette smoke. The consequences of these pollutant-induced alterations in mucus biology are discussed in the context of pulmonary pathophysiology and toxicology.

description: We estimated kinetic parameters associated with methanol disposition in humans from data reported in the literature. Michaelis-Menten elimination parameters (Vmax = 115 mg/L/hr; Km = 460 mg/L) were selected for input into a semi-physiologic pharmacokinetic model. We used reported literature values for blood or urine methanol concentrations in humans and nonhuman primates after methanol inhalation as input to an inhalation disposition model that evaluated the absorption of methanol, expressed as the fraction of inhaled methanol concentration that was absorbed (phi). Values of phi for nonexercising subjects typically varied between 0.64 and 0.75; 0.80 was observed to be a reasonable upper boundary for fractional absorption. Absorption efficiency in exercising subjects was lower than that in resting individuals. Incorporation of the kinetic parameters and phi into a pharmacokinetic model of human exposure to methanol, compared to a similar analysis in rodents, indicated that following an 8-hr exposure to 5000 ppm of methanol vapor, blood methanol concentrations in the mouse would be 13- to 18-fold higher than in humans exposed to the same methanol vapor concentration; blood methanol concentrations in the rat under similar conditions would be 5-fold higher than in humans. These results demonstrate the importance in the risk assessment for methanol of basing extrapolations from rodents to humans on actual blood concentrations rather than on methanol vapor exposure concentrations.ImagesFigure 1.Figure 2.Figure 3.Figure 4.Figure 5.

description: In the United States, adipose tissue is rarely used as a medium for assessment of prior exposures in epidemiologic studies. Adipose tissue aspirations are in general less invasive and carry less risk than phlebotomy. Tissue samples can be analyzed for a wide number of epidemiologically important exposures. Beyond reflecting long-term energy balance, this tissue offers a relatively stable depot of triglyceride and fat-soluble substances, such as fat-soluble vitamins, and pesticides. As a tissue it represents the greatest reservoir of carotenoids in the body. Halogenated hydrocarbons may be measured in concentrations of hundreds-fold greater than those in blood of the same individuals. The composition of adipose tissue also reflects the long-term dietary intakes of a number of essential fatty acids. The turnover times of all of these substances in adipose tissue remain under-researched. Sampling and storage of adipose tissue, homogeneity of sampling sites, turnover times, and the effects of diet, age, gender, race, hormones, and disease on adipose tissue composition are discussed in this review of current knowledge about adipose tissue stability. Experience in the use of adipose tissue sampling in epidemiologic studies in various countries has shown that it is simple to conduct, requires little training, carries little risk, and does not result in excessive participant refusal.

description: Atomic-scale topography of epitaxial multilayer graphene grown on 4H-SiC(0001) was investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Bunched nano-ridges ten times smaller than previously recorded were observed throughout the surface, the morphology of which was systematically altered using a relatively new technique called electrostatic-manipulation scanning tunneling microscopy. Transformed graphene formations sometimes spontaneously returned to their original morphology, while others permanently changed. Using an electrostatic model, we calculate that a force up to ~5 nN was exerted by the STM tip, and an energy of around 10 eV was required to alter the geometry of a ~100 X 200 nm^2 area.

Dietary Modifiers of Carcinogenesis

Year: 1995

description: Dietary components express a wide range of activities that can affect carcinogenesis. Naturally occurring substances in foods have been shown in laboratory experiments to serve as dietary antimutagens, either as bioantimutagens or as desmutagens. Dietary desmutagens may function as chemical inactivaters, enzymatic inducers, scavengers, or antioxidants. Dietary components may also act later in the carcinogenic process as tumor growth suppressors. Examples of dietary factors acting in each of these stages of carcinogenesis are presented, and potential anticarcinogens such as the carotenoids, tocopherols, phenolic compounds, glucosinolates, metal-binding proteins, phytoestrogens, and conjugated linoleic acid are discussed. Individual foods typically contain multiple potential anticarcinogens. Many of these substances can influence carcinogenesis through more than one mechanism. Some substances exhibit both anticarcinogenic and carcinogenic activity in vitro, depending on conditions. Epidemiologic research indicates that high fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with lower cancer risk. Little research has focused on the effects of single substances or single foods in man. Realization of the potential of foodborne substances to reduce the human burden of cancer will only be achieved with better measurement of dietary exposures and funding of multidisciplinary research in this area commensurate with its importance.

The obvious normalization regulates the approach of a computer game established xography based pointer trailing and signal
appreciation. The objective involves the utmost amount of
substantial rejoinder and liberated locale. The paper proposes a scheme to stalk and separate hand gesticulations to be included with the computer game. This procedure is the first of this kind hubed on three crucial tramps; hand topography, pointer trailing and signal appreciation from bespoked xography. To encumber vagueness from hand topography, the successive tread, bespoked xography is subsidiary. The straggling recital is imaginative and disdainfully importunate on tempo simulation using xography.

description: We investigate signatures of a jet-interstellar medium (ISM) interaction using optical integral-field observations of the so-called outer filament near Centaurus A, expanding on previous results obtained on a more limited area. Using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the VLT during science verification, we observed a significant fraction of the brighter emitting gas across the outer filament. The ionized gas shows complex morphology with compact blobs, arc-like structures and diffuse emission. Based on the kinematics, we identified three main components. The more collimated component is oriented along the direction of the radio jet. The other two components exhibit diffuse morphology together with arc-like structures also oriented along the radio jet direction. Furthermore, the ionization level of the gas is found to decrease from the more collimated component to the more diffuse components. The morphology and velocities of the more collimated component confirm our earlier results that the outer filament and the nearby HI cloud are likely partially shaped by the lateral expansion of the jet. The arc-like structures embedded within the two remaining components are the clearest evidence of a smooth jet-ISM interaction along the jet direction. This suggests that, although poorly collimated, the radio jet is still active and has an impact on the surrounding gas. This result indicates that the effect on the ISM of even low-power radio jets should be considered when studying the influence Active Galactic Nuclei can have on their host galaxy.

Generation and Control of Electrophilic N–aryl Nitrenoids to construct 3H-indoles and aziridines
Creators: name: Deng, Tianning

Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: N-Heterocycles are an important array of compounds which widely spread in natural products, pharmaceuticals, and materials. The synthesis of N-heterocycles is interesting and challenging, which motivated the research group and enterprises to develop this area. Driver group developed the construction of N-heterocycles, for example, indoles, indolines, and benzazepinones through the transition metal catalyzed C–N bond formation reaction using aryl azides or nitroarenes. To explore new area of the nitrene chemistry, generation of N-aryl nitrenoid intermediates by oxidation of unactivated anilines was discovered. Exposure of 2-substituted unactivated anilines to PIFA and trifluoroacetic acid under mild temperature triggers nitrenoid formation, followed productive and selective C–NAr bond formation to yield spirocyclic- or fused bicyclic 3H-indoles. The usage of hypervalent iodine reagent motivated us to examine if the same reactivity could be achieved using iodoarene or iodoalkane as catalyst pairing with external oxidants. The I(III)-catalyzed process was developed using only 1 mol % iodobenzene as catalyst and 1.3 equivalent of Selectfluor as oxidant to promote the yields of 3H-indoles and to investigate the relationship between the identity of iodine reagent and diastereoselectivity. Computational calculation was introduced into the explore the reaction mechanism during stay-at-home order. Thanks to the cooperation of mechanistic experiments and calculated energy profile, oxidation site selectivity, origin of diastereoselectivity, and driving force of migration aptitude were illustrated. Guided by the mechanistic study, the N-aryl nitrenoid could be used to pursue intermolecular reaction by transmetalation. Rh2(II)-Catalyzed intermolecular N-aryl aziridination reaction of olefin using unactivated anilines as nitrogen source was discovered and developed to fulfill the gap. A wide range of anilines and heterocyclic amines are tolerated to reacted with di-, tri-, tetrasubstituted olefin to afford N-aryl aziridines in stereospecific, chemo- and diastereoselective manner.

description: Introduction: The search for life on distant exoplanets is expected to rely on atmospheric biosignatures detection, such as oxygen of biological origin. However, it is not demonstrated how much oxygenic photosynthesis, which on Earth depends on visible light, could work under spectral conditions simulating exoplanets orbiting the Habitable Zone of M-dwarf stars, which have low light emission in the visible and high light emission in the far-red/near-infrared. By utilizing cyanobacteria, the first organisms to evolve oxygenic photosynthesis on our planet, and a starlight simulator capable of accurately reproducing the emission spectrum of an M-dwarf in the range 350-900 nm, we could answer this question. Methods: We performed experiments with the cyanobacterium Chlorogloeopsis fritschii PCC6912, capable of Far-Red Light Photoacclimation (FaRLiP), which allows the strain to harvest far-red in addition to visible light for photosynthesis, and Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, a species unable to perform this photoacclimation, comparing their responses when exposed to three simulated light spectra: M-dwarf, solar and far-red. We analysed growth and photosynthetic acclimation features in terms of pigment composition and photosystems organization. Finally, we determined the oxygen production of the strains directly exposed to the different spectra. Results: Both cyanobacteria were shown to grow and photosynthesize similarly under M-dwarf and solar light conditions: Synechocystis sp. by utilizing the few photons in the visible, C. fritschii by harvesting both visible and far-red light, activating the FaRLiP response.

description: In spite of the recognition of potentially toxic chemicals in chlorinated drinking water, few studies have evaluated reproductive health consequences of such exposure. Using data from a case-control study of miscarriage, preterm delivery, and low birth weight in central North Carolina, we evaluated risk associated with water source, amount, and trihalomethane (THM) concentration. Water source was not related to any of those pregnancy outcomes, but an increasing amount of ingested water was associated with decreased risks of all three outcomes (odds ratios around 1.5 for 0 glasses per day relative to 1-3 glasses per day, falling to 0.8 for 4+ glasses per day). THM concentration and dose (concentration x amount) were not related to pregnancy outcome, with the possible exception of an increased risk of miscarriage in the highest sextile of THM concentration (adjusted odds ratio = 2.8, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-2.7), which was not part of an overall dose-response gradient. These data do not indicate a strong association between chlorination by-products and adverse pregnancy outcome, but given the limited quality of our exposure assessment and the increased miscarriage risk in the highest exposure group, more refined evaluation is warranted.

description: The Linear Implicit Quantized State System (LIQSS) method has been evaluated for suitability in modeling and simulation of long-duration mission profiles of Naval power systems which are typically characterized by stiff, nonlinear, differential algebraic equations. A reference electromechanical system consists of an electric machine connected to a torque source on the shaft end and to an electric grid at its electrical terminals. The system is highly non-linear and has widely varying rate constants; at a typical steady state operating point, the electrical and electromechanical time constants differ by three orders of magnitude being 3.2 ms and 2.7 s respectively. Two important characteristics of the simulation, accuracy, and computational intensity both depend on the quantization size of the system state variables. At a quantization size of about 1 percent of a maximum value of a variable, results from the LIQSS1 method differed by less than 1 percent from results computed by well-known continuous system state space methods. The computational efficiency of the LIQSS1 method increased logarithmically with increasing quantization size, without significant loss of accuracy, up to some particular quantization size, beyond which the error increased rapidly. For the particular system under study, a sweet spot was found at a particular quantum size that yielded both high computational efficiency and good accuracy.

We also give a full classification of Dirac actions for which the base manifold is a homogeneous space $H/K$, obtaining a generalization of Drinfeld's classification for the Poisson Lie group case.

description: Files from a transgenic line of Drosophila melanogaster with two copies of the metallothionein allele Mtn3 were more tolerant to cadmium than strains with only one copy of the gene. However, flies with the Mtn3 allele were as tolerant as flies with the Mtn3 allele, despite the level of expression of Mtn3 being three times higher than of Mtn3. We propose that the substitution of Lys-40 (in Mtn3) for Glu-40 (in Mtn1) accounts for a reduction in binding affinity of Mtn1, which offsets the increased expression levels.ImagesFigure 1.Figure 2.Figure 2.Figure 3.

description: The population of most western countries is ageing and, therefore, the ageing issue now matters more than ever. According to the reports of the United Nations in 2017, there were a total of 15.8 million (26.9%) people over 60 years of age in the United Kindom, and the numbers are projected to reach 23.5 million (31.5%) by 2050. Spending on medical treatment and healthcare for older adults accounts for two-fifths of the UK National Health Service (NHS) budget. Keeping older people healthy is a challenge. In general, exercise is believed to benefit both mental and physical health. Specifically, resistance band exercises are proven by many studies that they have potentially positive effects on both mental and physical health. However, treatment using resistance band exercise is usually done in unmonitored environments, such as at home or in a rehabilitation centre; therefore, the exercise cannot be measured and/or quantified accurately. Despite many years of research, the true effectiveness of resistance band exercises remains unclear. [Continues.]

description: Nationale opgaven zoals het woningbouwbeleid, de energietransitie en klimaatadaptatie zijn vraagstukken die door regionale instanties concreet moeten worden gemaakt in samenhang met de vraagstukken van de regio zelf. De regio, het niveau tussen de gemeenten en de provincie, heeft meestal geen duidelijke bestuurlijke grens en geen formele plaats in het Nederlandse bestuur. In dit proefschrift is gezocht naar de betekenis van de provincie als regionale gebiedsautoriteit in een situatie waarin diverse publieke en private partijen samenwerken en maatschappelijke organisaties hun stem laten horen. Het onderzoek is gericht op gebieden tussen grote steden waar een aanmerkelijke verstedelijking, ingebed in groen- en waterstructuren, was voorzien. Plannen en planprocessen zijn geanalyseerd, net als het handelen van de provincie in drie regio’s: de regio Rotterdam-Zoetermeer-Gouda, het gebied tussen Arnhem en Nijmegen en de regio Eindhoven-Helmond. Het proefschrift laat onder meer zien dat planologische sturing een zwakker instrument is dan financiële sturing. Na de decentralisatie van ruimtelijke ordening en landinrichting is de invloed van de rijksoverheid op regionale gebiedsontwikkeling groot gebleven. Voorts blijkt uit het onderzoek dat planconcepten in de praktijk flexibel zijn. Als de uitvoering aan de orde komt neemt het risico toe dat het planconcept uit elkaar valt. Het onderzoek toont aan dat de provincie haar rol als regionale gebiedsregisseur actiever zou kunnen invullen. De Omgevingswet zou dat mogelijk moeten maken.

description: This collection contains data that were collected during a crowdsourcing campaign using Geo-Wiki (https://www.geo-wiki.org/). The campaign involved visual interpretation of a sample that is designed for validating any existing global built-up surface product. A zipped shapefile (ValidationGrids.zip) contains the random stratified sample of 50K locations, which consist of 80x80m grids further sub-divided into 10m cells so there are 64 cells per grid. These locations were provided to the crowd, who used very high-resolution satellite images to label the grids as built-up (i.e., containing a building), non-built-up or unsure. The file (Geo-WikiBuilt-upCentroidsAll.csv) contains the data collected in the campaign summarized by the centroid (or central point of each 80m grid location). It also contains fields for quality control, one that indicates if the change information matches the control points (see below) or the majority answer from the crowd, and another that indicates whether the presence/absence of built-up matches the control points (see below) or the majority answer from the crowd. The data collected for all 64 cells per grid can be found in Geo-WikiBuilt-upCellsAll.csv. The Geo-Wiki campaign uses visually interpreted grid locations called control points as part of the scoring mechanism of Geo-Wiki for quality control. These control points are provided by centroid (Geo-WikiBuilt-upCentroidsControls.csv) and for all cells in the 80m grid (Geo-WikiBuilt-upCellsControls.csv). In addition to the raw data, two additional quality-controlled files have been produced. The first file (Geo-WikiBuilt-upCentroidsChangeQualityControlled.csv) provides a single record for each location on change in built-up (if built-up is present) that lists either the control point answer or the majority answer from the crowd. The second file (Geo-WikiBuilt-upCellsQualityControlled.csv) contains a single record for each of the 64 cells in each grid, listing either the control point answer or the majority answer from the crowd. Finally, the file Strata.csv contains the mapping between the grid location and the sampling stratum used in the design of the sample.
Design, Development and Preliminary Testing of a Passive Upper Extremity ExoNET in Post Stroke

description: Robot assistive devices and wearable exoskeletons are increasingly being employed as they showed to have great potential and are returning prominent results in post-stroke rehabilitation therapies. Among these, passive devices can support patients to initiate movements themselves and encourage active training at the same time. Here we investigate the abilities of an ExoNET robot composed of diagonal spring elements, configured to provide gravity compensation. We first present the development and testing of the device, and further test its ability to enhance therapy by providing anti-gravity torques to the patient’s joints. The resulting device is safe, light-weight, non-intimidating, and inexpensive. In addition, the ExoNET incorporated a novel shoulder mechanism that allows for all three degrees of freedom of the shoulder joint. This was tested on healthy young individuals in our lab, and then tested on an individual who previously had a stroke, in five therapy sessions where we collected kinematic and electromyography data. Here we present the preliminary analysis of range of motion across days of practice. In particular, we developed a coverage algorithm that uses statistical distributions to gauge a person’s range of motion. We found that the coverage of healthy and paretic wrist positions decreased after donning the ExoNET, which might be caused by the encumbrance that the device introduce. The ExoNET also reduced the coverage of velocities. Interestingly, by the end of 45 minutes of therapy while wearing the ExoNET, the coverage of velocity but not position increased.

description: These are the slides for the LIBER 2021 panel discussion Why use Wikidata or not Description: Wikidata as an infrastructure is a gold standard for modeling and sharing information on the web, as it provides an open source infrastructure for modeling data, as well as for querying information. Consequently, libraries are increasingly making metadata on their collections available via Wikidata. According to the survey conducted by the LIBER LOD Working Group in 2019, Wikidata “stood out as the most common external resource that the projects were linking to.”1 In this panel session we seek to bring together speakers who have done research on or implemented Wikidata for library collections to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of sharing these information via the Wikimedia ecosystem and Wikidata specifically. The panel will include a presentation from Annette Dortmund from OCLC; Olaf Janssen from the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in the Netherlands; Julie M. Birkholz from KBR- the Royal Library of Belgium, and Matt Miller from the Library of Congress. The presentations will include the reasons for the use of Wikidata or not, as well as practical examples from three libraries implementing Wikidata each in different stages. Following these short presentations there will be an opportunity for attendees to ask questions to facilitate a larger discussion on the growing knowledge around the use of linked data and specifically Wikidata in libraries.

description: A number of hormonal approaches for prevention of endometrial and breast cancers have been proposed. Because of the hormonal responsiveness of both tumors, much attention has focused on effects of exogenous hormone use. Although estrogens in hormone replacement therapy increase the risk of endometrial cancer, the disease is substantially reduced by long-term use of oral contraceptives. The issues with breast cancer are more complex, mainly because of a variety of unresolved effects. Long-term estrogen use is associated with some increase in breast cancer risk, and certain patterns of oral contraceptives appear to predispose to early-onset disease. With respect to estrogens, preventive approaches for both tumors would include use for as limited periods of time as possible. Addition of a progestin appears to lower estrogen-associated endometrial disease, but its effect on breast cancer risk remains less clear. Additional studies on effects of detailed usage parameters should provide useful insights into etiologic mechanisms. Other preventive approaches for endometrial cancer that may work through hormonal mechanisms include staying thin, being physically active, and maintaining a vegetarian diet. Breast cancer risk may possibly be reduced by extended periods of breastfeeding, restriction of intake of alcoholic beverages, remaining thin later in life, and being physically active. Additional research is needed to clarify the biologic mechanisms of these associations. The bridging of epidemiology with the biologic sciences should clarify many unresolved issues and lead to better preventive approaches.
