description: Trilocypris gen. nov.
urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 80ACCA78-B7FD-4D37-BEA3-252915BAEBAD
Type species
Trilocypris horwitzi gen. et sp. nov. (here designated).
Other species
The genus is thus far monospecific.
Diagnosis
Valves high posteriorly, moderately arched, LV overlapping RV on all sides. RV with marginal tubercles (sometimes strongly developed) at least along anterior and postero-ventral margins and an outer list. RV with anterior sub-marginal selvage only; posteroventral selvage more clearly inwardly displaced. LV anteriorly with a blunt inner list parallel to valve margin. A1 with all segments of normal length / width ratio.Second segment of Mx1 palp slightly longer than basal width, not curved. Second segment on Lpp with long distal flagellum. Seta d2 on T2 absent. CR in both male and female proximally curved, but without swollen proximal side; attachment to CR uniramous, i.e., distally not bifurcated. Hemipenis in males with three distal lobes.
Etymology
This new genus is named after one of its most defining characters, namely the fact that the hemipenis in the male has three distal lobes (instead of two as in other Cyprinotinae). We shortened ‘trilobe’ to ‘trilo’ for convenience.
Differential diagnosis
Trilocypris gen. nov. has valve characteristics that are similar to those of Heterocypris, but differs from all other genera in the Cyprinotinae by the structure of the hemipenis, which has three distal lobes. This is unique in the subfamily Cyprinotinae, and possibly even in the entire family Cyprididae.
The new genus can furthermore be distinguished from Cyprinotus by the absence of the dorsal hump on the right valve, from Hemicypris and Homocypris by the fact that the LV overlaps the RV (inverse in Hemicypris; valves symmetrical in Homocypris) and from Riocypris by, among other features, the absence of seta d2 on T2.
Distribution
Currently known from the Yilgarn region of Western Australia only.
Remarks
As usual in monospecific genera, it is difficult to determine which characters are valid at the generic level and which at the specific level. The diagnosis of this new genus may need to be adapted if more congeneric species are found.

Diagnosis. This species is similar to Y. yangi Ponomarenko et Sohn superficially, but differs in the forewing triangularly protruded at the apex (Fig. 21) and the separated R4 and R5 (Fig. 72); in Y. yangi, the forewing is rounded at the apex (Fig. 20), and R4 is stalked with R 5 in the forewing (Fig. 71). Ypsolopha horridella is related to Y. scabrella (Linnaeus) in the male genitalia, but differs in the saccus about 3/4 length of the socius and truncate at apex (Fig. 121), which is as long as the socius and sharp at apex in the latter species (Fig. 118).
Remarks. Caradja (1939) recorded this species from China based on the specimens collected in Mt. Mian, Shanxi Province. Sohn et al. (2010) assumed it a misidentification since it is not listed in Hua’s checklist (2005). We confirm its existence in China based on the previous literature and the specimens in our collection.

EXAMINING THE INFLUENCE OF FINANCIAL STRUCTURE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF DEPOSIT MONEY BANKS (DMBS) IN NIGERIA
Creators: name: Daniel, Diepreye Kalio
Publisher: name: keith journal
Year: 2025
Subjects: Deposit Money Banks, Financial Structure, Equity, Debt, Return on Capital Employed

description: This study generally examined the Influence of Financial Structure on Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) Performance in Nigeria and specifically attempts to ascertain, explore and evaluate the extent to which short term debt to asset ratio, long-term debt to asset ratio and total debt to equity ratio respectively, affect the Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) of selected DMBs in Nigeria. This study adopted ex-post facto research design on a population thirteen (13) listed DMBs in Nigeria. Purposive sampling was used in selecting a sample size of four (4) deposit money banks. Secondary data were obtained from the annual reports of the selected banks for sixteen years covering the period of 2007 to 2022 which was subjected to descriptive analysis. Granger causality was deployed in exploring the causal relationships between the variables, Ordinary Least Square regression was deployed in testing the hypotheses of the study. The findings revealed that: short-term debt to asset ratio has a significant negative impact on the return on capital employed of selected DMBs in Nigeria (p-value = 0.000); long-term debt to asset ratio significantly and negatively affects the return on capital employed of deposit money banks in Nigeria (p-value = 0.000); total debt to equity ratio has a non-significant positive effect on the return on capital employed of selected DMBs in Nigeria (p-value = 0.1133). The study recommends that management of DMBs in Nigeria should prioritize maintaining a balanced mix of short-term and long-term debt in order to mitigate liquidity risks and ensure smoother cash flow management, ultimately enhancing financial performance
Characterization and application of carrot antifreeze protein in keeping bacterial cell viability under low temperature
Creators: name: Wang, Ying

description: The ice-structuring protein (ISP) or antifreeze protein (AFP) has great potential applications in frozen food preservation.  This study aims at developing a fast and economical method to prepare carrot (Daucus carota) AFP (DcAFP) and apply it in the preservation of bacterial cell.   The carrot AFP (DcAFP) was cloned and transformed into the recombinant bacteria. The recombinant protein was purified and refolded, and its second structure, as determined by circular-dichroism (CD), was found to contain approximately 60% beta sheet structure, suggesting the potential binding plane for ice and liquid water.    The inhibition of ice crystal formation by DcAFP was further demonstrated by the following three experiments: first, the recrystallization of ice crystals with the DcAFP solution was monitored by using video microscopy. By quantifying the crystal number and their average diameter, the ability of DcAFP to inhibit the recrystallization has been demonstrated. Second, bacterial cell viability under 0ºC was detected. With the addition of DcAFP, cell survival rate was 50% higher than that of the control sample.  Finally, the addition of DcAFP in the lactobacillus without any other protective agent significantly increased cell viability under 0ºC. These results suggested the potential applications of DcAFP in the preservation of probiotic foods.
Basis and background document, revised human health water quality criteria for total PCBs for the protection of human health from carcinogenic effects
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Identification of the governing water quality criteria is an essential step in the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) process. For the Delaware Estuary, available water quality criteria for polychronated biphenyls (PCBs) include human health criteria for carcinogenic and systemic effects, and both freshwater and marine acute and chronic aquatic life criteria. The current Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) water quality criteria for PCBs in the Delaware Estuary were established in 1996. They pre-date the collection of site-specific bioaccumulation data for the Delaware Estuary and Bay and site-specific fish-consumption data for Zones 2 through 4 that are relevant to the development of human health water quality criteria. They are also inconsistent with current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance for the development of such criteria, and they vary by water quality zone. One consequence is that in order to ensure that the water quality criterion of 7.9 picograms per liter in the downstream portion of Zone 5 can be achieved, the allowable PCB loading to Zones 2 and 3, where the current criterion is 44.4 picograms per liter, must be even lower than would be required if the proposed uniform criterion were in place.A subcommittee of the Delaware River Basin Commission’s Toxic Advisory Committee was tasked with developing revised human health criteria for five zones of the Delaware Estuary. Values for five factors were needed to develop the revised criteria. Three of the factors used US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended default values. These three factors were 1) risk-specific dose (2.0 mg/kg-day at a risk level of 10-6), 2) body weight (70 KG), and 3) drinking water intake (2 liters/day). Site-specific data were needed to develop appropriate values for the other two factors: fish consumption at each trophic level, and bioaccumulation factor (BAF) at each trophic level. Site-specific data for fish consumption in Zone 5 and Delaware Bay indicated an average consumption rate for all species of 17.46 grams per day, remarkably close to the national default value of 17.5 grams per day. Field studies were conducted to provide PCB congener data on fish tissue concentrations of PCBs in species representative of two trophic levels, channel catfish and white perch.  Ambient water concentrations of PCB congeners and organic carbon were also determined. Use of these data with the new EPA methodology results in a single criterion value of 15.9 pg/L. In July 2005, the Commission's Toxics Advisory Committee (TAC) voted to recommend that the Commission adopt a revised human health criterion for the protection from carcinogenic effects of 16 picograms per liter for Zones 2 through 6. This revised criterion will provide a uniform TMDL target throughout the estuary and eliminate the current sharp transition in criteria within the estuary.

Delaware River rooted aquatic-plant biomass study from Port Jervis, N.Y. (Route 84 Bridge) to Milford, PA (Route 206 Bridge)
Creators: name: Kratzer, Todd W.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1999

description: Since 1984, the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC), in cooperation with the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (DWGNRA) and the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River (UDSRR) units of the National Park Service, and the U.S. Geological Survey, has been collecting water quality and flow data from the Delaware River and the adjoining tributaries. The monitoring program spans a 121 mile reach of the Delaware River from Hancock, N.Y. to the Delaware Water Gap. This effort is known as the Scenic Rivers Monitoring Program (SRMP). The goal of the program is to monitor the waterways within the National Park Service boundaries as well as an 8-mile reach of river between the two National Park Service boundaries and check the data for unusual variation over time.Changes to water quality can emanate from many different sources, including natural sources, anthropogenic sources, and atmospheric deposition. To better understand the relationships between the multiple sources of contamination and the possible range of effects from these potential alterations to the aquatic environment, the DRBC is using the water quality and flow data collected from the SRMP to calibrate watershed and open-channel computer models. As with most models of lotic systems, the aquatic plant productivity simulation routine assumes that the main contribution is from suspended algae (phytoplankton). This assumption creates linear longitudinal changes to dissolved oxygen, pH, and nutrients. However, the reach of the Delaware River from Millrift, PA to the Delaware Water Gap can support discontinuous dense growths of rooted aquatic plants (macrophytes). Unmanaged inputs of nutrients, primarily phosphorus and nitrogen, to a waterway may cause extensive aquatic plant blooms. Large plant blooms can suppress recreational opportunities, reorient the flow path(s), and cause large fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and pH over a 24 hour cycle from photosynthesis and respiration. Fluctuations in dissolved oxygen and pH can be deleterious to aquatic organisms. By measuring the genus-specific biomass densities within, and nutrient,  dissolved oxygen, water temperature, and flow at an upstream and a downstream location on a river reach, a plant productivity model can be calibrated. Observed biomass, nutrient, and dissolved oxygen values are matched against the simulated values to validate the model. A calibrated model can then be used to predict the rooted aquatic plant response to a given increase or decrease in nutrient loadings and the subsequent variability that the plant productivity may exert on the dissolved oxygen, pH, nutrient, and flow velocity levels.

Contaminants of emerging concern in the tidal Delaware River, pilot monitoring survey 2007-2009
Creators: name: MacGillivray, A. Ronald
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2012

description: Contaminants of emerging concern are unregulated substances that have entered the environment through human activities. Current regulatory approaches are inadequate to address these contaminants and the increasing public concern over their environmental and human health implications. A pilot multi-year survey of contaminants of emerging concern in the main stem of the tidal Delaware River sampled and analyzed ambient waters in 2007, 2008 and 2009 for pharmaceuticals and personal care products, as well as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MSMS); hormones, sterols and nonylphenols by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS); and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) by high resolution gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HRGC/MS). Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCP) detected at concentrations of ng/L in the river were comparable to compounds and concentrations measured in other studies of ambient water with the exception of codeine and metformin. Fifteen PPCP were identified for focused study in surface waters (acetaminophen, carbamazepine, clarithromycin, codeine, dehydronifedipine, erythromycin-hydrate, fluoxetine, gemfibrozil, 2-hydroxy-ibuprofen, ibuprofen, lincomycin, metformin, sulfamethoxazole, thiabendazole, and triclocarban) based on the criteria of environmental occurrence, aquatic ecotoxicity, potential human health effects to sensitive populations, and analytical feasibility. In addition, PPCP reported in fish tissue in other locations should be assessed in the Delaware Estuary. Natural and synthetic hormones were detected in ng/L levels. Hormones detected at low concentrations and at limited locations included estrone, norethindrone, 17-alpha-ethynyl-estradiol, desogestrel and testosterone. Hormones have been ranked in the top of chemicals in U.S. surface waters for ecological effects and warrant further study. PFASs were measured in ng/L concentrations with perfluorononanoate (C9) measured at the highest concentration. Although concentrations of PFASs in water appear to be trending downward each year, additional ecotoxicology and bioaccumulation information is needed for these compounds especially on longer chain and sulfonated PFASs. Nonylphenol levels did not exceed current United States Environmental Protection Agency national water quality criteria. PBDE were measured in pg/L to ng/L concentrations with homolog distributions similar to those observed in other North American locations. Because of the low levels found in water, additional monitoring of PBDE by the DRBC will focus on bioaccumulation in fish tissue. The effects of PPCP in estuarine and coastal waters are not well studied. Future work in the Delaware River should evaluate the sources as well as the fate and effects of PPCP in the water column, sediments and biota.
Delaware River and Bay oil spill advisory committee report, 2008-2010
Creators: name: No Name Supplied

Year: 2010

description: The Delaware River is one of the highest volume oil ports in the United States and a critical environmental habitat. Therefore, minimizing disruptions in normal port operations and throughout the Delaware Valley estuary due to oil spills is a priority for the entire region. Since 1974 there have been 27 significant oil spill events on the Delaware River (significance being defined by the amount spilled, level of response, or the notoriety of the event). In ten of those events, more than 100,000 gallons of oil were spilled. The Committee launched its efforts by developing an oil spill history for the River and Bay area. The history which committee members were able to piece together clearly shows that operational, vessel vetting, and vigilance issues, along with weather-related and navigational obstruction issues, have contributed to the occurrence these spills. The Committee believes that many port stakeholders can within their scope of responsibility make individual process that will benefit the general spill prevention and response mission. Findings are detailed in the Recommendations section of this report.
Essays on causation, explanation, and the past hypothesis
Creators: name: Weaver, Christopher Gregory
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The essays in this collection begin with an introduction to the problem of the arrow of time, the necessity of the past hypothesis in the standard solution to that puzzle, and an appreciation of the special nature of the low-entropy state posited by the past hypothesis. Chapter 2 includes an explication and brief defense of several philosophical doctrines including an Aristotelian substance view of concrete particulars, logical monism, classical logic as the one true logic, necessitism, and that two-possibility claims afford prima facie epistemic justification. These doctrines build up a prolegomena that plays an essential role in my demolition of various reductive theses in Chapter 3. Chapter 3 knocks down both David Lewis’s Humean supervenience thesis, and Theodore Sider’s new fangled Humeanism. If either of these metaphysical worldviews are correct, the idea that causation is a fundamental relation in the world can never get off the ground. I end chapter 3 with a refutation of two direct arguments for the idea that causation reduces to physical history and natural nomicity. Having concluded that there is no good reason to endorse causal reductionism or a more general reductive thesis that would entail causal reductionism, I articulate and defend a novel account of causal relata and a new realist theory of deterministic causation. Both of these theories constitute the very heart and soul of the account of token physical explanation I defend in Chapter 5. The final substantial chapter features an articulation of the two most complete attempts in quantum cosmology to explain the past hypothesis. I argue that neither explanation succeeds and conclude that given such failures and that there are certain other fine-tuned parameters, and constants, it is likely that there cannot be a scientific explanation of that hypothesis.
Abstract impressions

description: This dissertation is the first to consider the innovative prints of the ninety-one women artists who worked at Atelier 17, the avant-garde printmaking workshop in New York between 1940 and 1955, alongside the emergence of the New York School. Situating the prints of a core group of eight artists—Louise Bourgeois, Minna Citron, Worden Day, Dorothy Dehner, Sue Fuller, Alice Trumbull Mason, Louise Nevelson, and Anne Ryan—within the context of midcentury gender norms, my dissertation discusses how women artists used groundbreaking techniques to achieve novel forms of abstraction. I argue that women printmakers stood at the center of artistic and societal debates about acceptable feminine roles and women in the workforce. These artists both followed and challenged notions of femininity through their material and physical experimentations with abstract printmaking.     Chapter One’s critical historiography of American women printmakers from 1800 through the 1930s illuminates why Atelier 17 was so significant to the development of women’s professional identities. By scrutinizing midcentury gender norms that prescribed acceptable spaces of work and types of feminine labor, Chapter Two uses signaling theory to explain how women artists relied on printmaking’s physicality to demonstrate their serious professional intentions. The rigorous process of carving plates and woodblocks, for example, simulated sculpting, spurring many women to enter this male-dominated field. Chapter Three examines the potential of gender and socio-cultural norms to affect the meanings of printmaking’s tools. Chapter Four considers the formal strategies that Atelier 17 artists employed to make their prints relevant to Abstract Expressionism. Although women artists could be leading practitioners of avant-garde printmaking, critics initially deemed their small prints unambitious and placed them on the periphery of Abstract Expressionism. Chapter Five examines the networks that women artists developed to promote their reputations as abstractionists and send prints widely to print annuals, group exhibitions and solo shows.    The dissertation’s case studies expand conceptions of Abstract Expressionism and identify isolated instances of women working towards gender equality before the Women’s Art Movement. The great creative strides women artists took while experimenting with avant-garde printmaking at Atelier 17 had lasting impacts on later generations of women artists.
Laws in metaphysics
Creators: name: Wilsch, Tobias
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2015

description: The first two chapters of this dissertation defend the Deductive-Nomological Account of metaphysical explanation. Chapter 1 develops the Nomological Account of ground, – p1, …, pn ground q if and only if the laws of metaphysics determine q on the basis of p1, …, pn, – and the constructional theory of the metaphysical laws, – the laws are general principles that characterize construction-operations.  Chapter 2 offers an analysis of the notion of determination involved in the Nomological Account: the laws determine q based on p1, …, pn if and only if q follows from p1, …, pn and the laws in the grounding-calculus. The grounding-calculus is characterized in terms of two inference rules and a suitable notion of ‘proof’. The rules are designed to analyze the input- and output notions that are intuitively associated with laws: the laws take some facts as input and deliver some other facts as output.  Chapters 1 and 2 also go beyond the development of the positive view. Chapter 1 shows how the Nomological Account explains general patterns among grounding-truths, the modal force of ground, and certain connections between ground and construction. Chapter 2 shows why the Deductive-Nomological Account of metaphysical explanation escapes the objections to the traditional DN-account of scientific explanation, and it also outlines two views on logical explanation that are available to the proponent of the Nomological Account.  Chapter 3 focuses on laws of nature and presents the Circularity Puzzle, which is a generalized version of a familiar circularity-based objection to Humeanism about the  laws of nature. The three solutions to the Circularity Puzzle correspond to three different general views on the laws, one Anti-Humean and two Humean views. I argue that for the Anti-Humean, the Circularity Puzzle collapses into the familiar inference-problem, and for the Standard Humean, the solution to circularity-related worries lies in the rejection of the governing-conception of laws. I explain what I take to be the strongest response to the inference-problem.

description: Many U.S. institutions have committed to increasing employee diversity as a means to improve their organizational strength and competitiveness, and frequently highlight the race and gender diversity at their organizations in promotional materials such as brochures and websites. However, recent research suggests that exposure to both race and gender diversity systems at the organizational level may be associated with negative consequences such as discriminatory hiring for racial minorities and women (Kaiser et al., 2013). Thus, corporations that espouse their race and gender diversity may ironically harm themselves and the underrepresented group members whom they seek to empower (i.e., racial minorities and women). At the same time, race and gender diversity has been associated with positive outcomes for companies, such as creativity, so individuals may also expect diverse organizations to also possess these qualities. This dissertation examined the perceptions and downstream consequences of race and gender diversity in institutional settings among high status group members (Whites, White men). Study 1a predicted and found that race-diverse organizations experienced diversity stigma, being evaluated as less prestigious, less exclusive, and having less competent employees, compared to a race-homogenous organization. In contrast Study 1b found that gender-diverse organizations experienced diversity credits, being evaluated as more broadminded, marginally more prestigious, and having more competent employees, compared to a gender-homogenous organization. These data suggest that the perceptual benefits of diversity may remain reserved for organizations that are gender-diverse, and that race-diverse organizations may bear the perceptual brunt of organizational stigma. Studies 2a and 2b further examined whether race and gender diversity also negatively impacts the hiring and valuing of racial minorities and women, due to the perception that race or gender representation “is no longer a problem” at such organizations.  Across studies, racial minorities, as well as (White) male and female candidates, received perceptual boosts in race and gender diverse contexts, though the benefits of gender diversity were more global than those of race diversity. Perception of social progress was found to be unrelated to target evaluations. The results are discussed with respect to increasing the representation and valuation of underrepresented group members in the workplace.

description: An experimental model was set up to study the rotating vertical impinging chemical vapor deposition reactor. Deposition occurs only when the system has enough thermal energy. Therefore, understanding the fluid characteristic and heat transfer of the system will provide a good basis to understand the full model. Growth rate and the uniformity of the film are the two most important factors in CVD process and it is depended on the flow and thermal characteristic within the system. Optimizing the operating parameters will result in better growth rate and uniformity. Operating parameters such as inflow velocity, inflow diameter and rotational speed are used to create different design simulations.  Fluid velocities and various temperatures are recorded to see the effects of the different operating parameters. Velocities are recorded by using flow meter and hot wire anemometer. Temperatures are recorded by using various thermocouples and infrared thermometer. The result should provide a quantitative basis for the prediction, design and optimization of the system and process for design and fabrication of future CVD reactors. Further assessment of the system results will be discuss in detail such as effects of buoyancy and effects of rotation. The experimental study also coupled with a numerical study for further validation of both model. Comparisons between the two models are also presented.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 5A47A7DD-B9FE-4703-9941-38EA85B53280
Type species
Bilocypris fortescuensis gen. et sp. nov. (here designated).
Other species
Bilocypris mandoraensis gen. et sp. nov.
Diagnosis
Valves higher in posterior half than anterior, LV overlapping RV on all sides. RV with marginal tubercles at least along anterior and postero-ventral margins; in between these zones RV with outer list; these marginal tubercles sometimes strongly developed. RV with anterior selvage sub-marginal and with posteroventral selvage more clearly inwardly displaced. LV anteriorly with blunt inner list parallel to valve margin. A1 with all segments of normal length/width ratio. Second segment of Mx1 palp slightly longer than basal width, not curved. Seta d2 on T2 absent. CR in both male and female moderately curved and slightly expanded in proximal part; attachment to CR uniramous, i.e., distally not bifurcated. Hemipenis in males with lobe ms bilobed, lobe ls of equal length to ms. Females in both species in this genus with large, rounded genital lobes.
Etymology
The name of this new genus refers to the fact that lobe ms of the hemipenis is bilobed. We have abbreviated ‘bilobe’ to ‘bilo’ for convenience.
Differential diagnosis
Bilocypris gen. nov. has valve characteristics that are similar to those in Heterocypris, but differs from all other genera in the Cyprinotinae by the structure of the hemipenis, which consists of a bilobed ms and a lobe ls of the same length as the ms.
The new genus can be distinguished from Cyprinotus by the absence of the dorsal hump on the RV, from Hemicypris and Homocypris by the fact that the LV overlaps the RV (inverse in Hemicypris; valves symmetrical in Homocypris) and from Riocypris by the absence of seta d2 on limb T2, among other features.
Distribution
Both species in the genus are known from northwest Western Australia (Pilbara and southern Kimberley regions).

Disorder-specific and transdiagnostic functional impairments across youth internalizing disorders

description: Lifetime prevalence rates suggest that up to 32% of youth (aged 13 to 18) meet criteria for an anxiety disorder and up to 14% meet for a mood disorder before the age of 18 (Merikangas et al., 2010). In addition to meeting symptom criteria, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5; American Psychiatric Association, 2013) requires that youth experience significant functional impairments across multiple domains, including, occupational/school, social , family, and role impairment. Despite the inclusion of functional impairment in the diagnostic criteria, the emphasis of most clinical trials designed to demonstrate intervention efficacy focus on symptom reduction. In order to address this need, the current study used a transdiagnostic framework to investigate a 2-step process for how functional impairments might help discriminate between youth diagnoses of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), social phobia (SP), and depression disorders (DD). Step-1 examined differences between “pure” diagnoses of each disorder. Step-2 explored how comorbidity might affect the relationship between diagnoses and functional impairments. A total of 146 youth (ages 7-17) and their parents participated in the study. Predictor variables of clinical diagnoses were determined by a semi-structured interview and parent self-reports were used to measure outcome variables of functional impairments. Results from the multivariate analysis of variance showed that impairments in social functioning were disorder-specific for DD (F(8,92)=3.18, Pillai’s Trace=.43, p=.003, ηp2=.21) and impairments in school functioning were transdiagnostic for SP and DD (F(8,92)=2.28, Pillai’s Trace=.325, p=.03, ηp2=.16). Results did not indicate any augmentative effects (increased impairment) of comorbidity. The study suggests that functional impairments might provide unique information about differential diagnosis beyond symptoms and symptom severity.
On mapping problems in several complex variables

description: The thesis consists of two parts. In the first part, we study a regularity problem for CR mappings between CR manifolds. More precisely, we establish  various versions of the Schwarz reflection principle in several complex variables. In particular, as a consequence of the main results, we confirm a conjecture of X. Huang in [Hu2]   and provide a solution to a question raised by Forstneric [Fr1] (See Corollaries 2.1.11 and 2.1.12). It is a joint work with Shiferaw Berhanu ([BX1], [BX2]). In the second part, we study the embeddability problem from compact real algebraic strongly pseudoconvex hypersurfaces into a sphere. In a joint work with Xiaojun Huang and Xiaoshan Li ([HLX]), we prove that for any integer $N,$ there is a family of compact real algebraic  strongly  pseudoconvex hypersurfaces in $mathbb{C}^2,$ none of which can be locally holomorphically embedded into the unit sphere in $mathbb{C}^N.$ This shows that the Whitney (or Remmert, respectively) type embedding theorem in differential topology (or in the Stein space theory, respectively) does not hold in the setting above

Evidence for multiple oxidation pathways from non-volatile products of methyl linoleate
Creators: name: Xie, Jia

description: Oxidation of unsaturated lipids is the most active chemical reaction leading to deterioration of food quality and shortening of shelf life. Lipid oxidation is known to be a free radical chain reaction driven by lipid peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals abstracting hydrogen atoms from neighboring molecules to form stable hydroperoxide intermediates and transfer a radical to a new molecule. In this process, products accumulate only after hydroperoxides decompose. However, this simplistic reaction fails to account for observed kinetics and compounds generated. Recently, a more complex reaction scheme for lipid oxidation was proposed which integrates traditional hydrogen abstraction with alternate reactions of peroxyl and alkoxyl radicals -- internal rearrangement, double bond addition, scission, dismutation. The alternate reactions run simultaneously and in competition with hydrogen abstraction, and alter the overall picture of lipid oxidation under different conditions. This dissertation research seeks to provide experimental proof of principle that these alternate pathways exist in lipid oxidation and have important consequences to timing and types of products developed.  Lipid oxidation was studied in pure methyl linoleate incubated for 20 days under a range of conditions to investigate early reactions. Four types of major oxidation non-volatile products (conjugated dienes, hydroperoxides, epoxides, and carbonyls) were measured to determine product distributions and impact of reaction conditions on pathways.   Two observations supported activity of reaction pathways other than hydrogen abstraction. First, epoxides were the dominant product under all conditions, with levels higher than hydroperoxides and in some cases almost as high as conjugated dienes. Second, all products began accumulating immediately at start of oxidation, although at different rates. Carbonyls were produced at much lower levels than other products. Coordinated analyses of volatile products suggested that these unusual patterns could be explained by competitive activity of two alternate reactions: 1) peroxyl radicals add to double bonds, forming a dimer that decomposes to an epoxide and an alkoxyl radical which can either form more epoxides or undergo scission to carbonyl products; 2) alkoxyl radicals add to an adjacent double bond to form epoxides and transfer the free radical down chain to a new site. Environmental conditions mostly affected initial oxidation rates.

description: The basic reactions of lipid oxidation were first reported more than 50 years ago, yet accurate and reproducible measurement of lipid oxidation remains a serious problem and challenge for both industry and academia. This research addresses two critical issues in lipid oxidation measurements: 1) lack of extraction methods that do not induce adventitious oxidation or change existing oxidation products; 2) lack of sensitive reproducible methods for quantitating and identifying secondary non-volatile oxidation products such as carbonyls, core aldehydes in particular. This research aims to develop two reliable, sensitive and accurate methods for oxidation analyses: 1) a pressurized solvent extraction method that is efficient in removing lipid yet does not add to or destroy lipid oxidation products, and 2) an improved HPLC-DNPH assay to quantitate and identify soluble carbonyl oxidation products in individual lipid fractions.  Baked pet food biscuits and dry extruded pet food kibbles were chosen as samples to conduct lipid extraction in pressurized accelerated solvent extractor (ASE) by adjusting a variety of factors such as temperature, sample particle size, polarity of extraction solvent, extraction static time and numbers of extraction cycles to investigate the effect of extraction conditions on lipid oxidation. Results showed extraction with two 15-minute cycles of chloroform:methanol at 40 C gave lipid yields of 75-100%, depending on the kibble. Lipid oxidation was minimal when temperature was limited to 40 C. Factors such as particle size, solvents and extraction static time and cycles could be combined and tailored to optimize extraction efficiency. Compared to traditional extraction methods, pressurized solvent extraction of lipids was significantly more efficient and induced less oxidation.   A reverse phase HPLC-DNPH (2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine) assay capable of quantitating and identifying carbonyls in all lipid classes was developed using an acetonitrile–isopropanol-water gradient and diode array detection at 360 nm. Optical response decreased with fatty acid chain length; quantitation was achieved using average slopes for three size ranges. The assay was specific for carbonyls and detected 6-50 g/L and accurately quantitated 20 g/L standard aldehydes. LC-MS/MS Q-TOF verified hydrazone structures. Monomer carbonyls and core aldehydes were distinguished and quantitated in oxidized Trilinolein, commercial oils, and lipid extracts.
