description: At the end of 2016, the thermophilic species Pieris mannii (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) was observed in Belgium, more specifically in the province of Luxembourg near Bastogne. Since then, the Southern Small White has spread from the Ardennes towards the Belgian coast at a rapid pace. In the year 2019, this White was observed for the first time (Casier 2019) within the Project area Butterflies Durme-en Schelde (PDDS area). In 2020, the author observed the Southern Small White for the first time in his butterfly garden in Waasmunster.

description: The leafy liverwort genus Herbertus exhibits considerably variable morphology and widely disjunct distributions in both hemispheres. Here, the biogeographic history of the genus and its phylogenetic relationships with the focus on the taxonomically difficult, northern hemispheric disjunct species, were investigated. We conducted a time-calibrated, molecular-based phylogenetic analysis using psbA, trnL-F, and ITS1-2 loci and different approaches for ancestral range inference of the genus. Herbertus is inferred to have originated in the Cenozoic era about 51 million years ago, in an ancestral area including southern South America, the Neotropics, Oceania, and South-east Asia. The current distribution of the genus is supported to have resulted from long-term in situ persistence, short and long distance dispersals, extinctions and recolonizations. Postglacial range shifts between the southern and northern hemisphere in the genus show distinct patterns. In the southern hemisphere, Herbertus is characterized by in situ persistence, not showing further dispersal until the uplift of the Andean Cordillera. Species of the northern hemisphere showed wide range expansions and repeated recolonizations, including north- and southward dispersals, recolonizations and extinctions. Our results support that the ancestor of South-east Asiatic Herbertus had a Gondwanan origin and arrived in Asia via Indian Plate migration. The uplift of high mountains must have had a strong influence in the diversification and dispersal of the genus. Our results further suggest that climate changes must have had a profound effect on the evolution and biogeography of the species of Herbertus in the northern hemisphere, and might also have influenced the reproductive strategies of the genus. Few genetic differentiations amongst currently recognized species H. aduncus, H. dicranus, H. hutchinsiae, H. stramineus, H. delavayi, and H. kurzii, and amongst H. sendtneri, H. armitanus, and H. circinatus were shown, suggesting that the morphological characters that are currently used for delimiting species should be re-evaluated.

description: Climate engineering (CE) and carbon capture and storage are controversial options for addressing climate change. This study compares public perception in Germany of three specific measures: solar radiation management (SRM) via stratospheric sulphate injection, large-scale afforestation, and carbon capture and storage sub-seabed (CCS-S). In a survey experiment we find that afforestation is most readily accepted as a measure for addressing climate change, followed by CCS-S and lastly SRM, which is widely rejected. Providing additional information decreases acceptance for all measures, but their ranking remains unchanged. The acceptance of all three measures is especially influenced by the perceived seriousness of climate change and by trust in institutions. Also, respondents dislike the measures more if they perceive them as a way of shirking responsibility for emissions or as an unconscionable manipulation of nature. Women react more negatively to information than men, whereas the level of education or the degree of intuitive vs reflective decision making does not influence the reaction to information. POLICY RELEVANCE Current projections suggest that the use of climate engineering (CE) technologies or carbon capture and storage (CCS) is necessary if global warming is to be kept well below 2°C. Our article focuses on the perspective of the general public and thus supplements the dialogue between policymakers, interest groups, and scientists on how to address climate change. We show that in Germany public acceptance of potentially effective measures such as SRM or CCS-S is low and decreases even more when additional information is provided. This implies that lack of public acceptance may turn out to be a bottleneck for future implementation. Ongoing research and development in connection with CCS-S and SRM requires continuous communication with, and involvement of, the public in order to obtain feedback and assess the public’s reservations about the measures. The low level of acceptance also implies that emission reduction should remain a priority in climate policy.

description: Whey, an essential source of dietary nutrients, is widely used in dairy foods for infants. A total of 584 whey proteins in human and bovine colostrum and mature milk were identified and quantified by the isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) proteomic method. The 424 differentially expressed whey proteins were identified and analyzed according to gene ontology (GO) annotation, Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway, and multivariate statistical analysis. Biological processes principally involved biological regulation and response to stimulus. Major cellular components were extracellular region part and extracellular space. The most prevalent molecular function was protein binding. Twenty immune-related proteins and 13 proteins related to enzyme regulatory activity were differentially expressed in human and bovine milk. Differentially expressed whey proteins participated in many KEGG pathways, including major complement and coagulation cascades and in phagosomes. Whey proteins show obvious differences in expression in human and bovine colostrum and mature milk, with consequences for biological function. The results here increase our understanding of different whey proteomes, which could provide useful information for the development and manufacture of dairy products and nutrient food for infants. The advanced iTRAQ proteomic approach was used to analyze differentially expressed whey proteins in human and bovine colostrum and mature milk.

description: This is an analysis about the expenditure of 19 countries in G20 (excluding Europe Union) on three categories: military, healthcare and education during 2011-2016. The dataset is retrieved from Data World Bank Data World Bank. In this project, only the domestic general government expenditures are taken into consideration. The data is preprocessed using Python and is visualized using Visual Studio Code. Due to the availability of data, there are some missing values in education expenditure so the analysis of education is not meaningful. To address this issue, missing data needed to be collected or another set of countries should be used for this project. This project provides visualizations for the expenditure data to help identify the patterns and trending in the spending trends of different countries. The results are expected to help people to be aware of the policies and priorities of their governmental investment in military, healthcare and education.

description: 1. An investigation on the metabolic mechanism of fasudil to hydroxyfasudil was conducted in vitro using liver subcellular fractions of different species. Hydroxyfasudil was generated in large amounts by rat liver S9 and to a similar extent by human liver S9 but was not detected in dog liver S9 incubations. 2. Studies with various molybdenum hydroxylase inhibitors demonstrated that aldehyde oxidase (AO), but not xanthine oxidase (XO), selectively catalyzed fasudil to hydroxyfasudil in both rat and human liver cytosol. In addition, the oxygen atom incorporated into hydroxyfasudil was derived from water rather than atmospheric oxygen, which further corroborated AO involvement. 3. Enzyme kinetics experiments revealed that fasudil had a higher affinity to human hepatic AO than to rat hepatic AO. Besides, significantly different in vivo pharmacokinetic parameters observed between male and female rats indicated that the AO activity in rats was gender-dependent. 4. The present study provided first evidences that AO causes differences in fasudil metabolism between species.

description: Conformational sampling under rugged energy landscape is always a challenge in computer simulations. The recently developed integrated tempering sampling, together with its selective variant (SITS), emerges to be a powerful tool in exploring the free energy landscape or functional motions of various systems. The estimation of weighting factors constitutes a critical step in these methods and requires accurate calculation of partition function ratio between different thermodynamic states. In this work, we propose a new adaptive update algorithm to compute the weighting factors based on the weighted histogram analysis method (WHAM). The adaptive-WHAM algorithm with SITS is then applied to study the thermodynamic properties of several representative peptide systems solvated in an explicit water box. The performance of the new algorithm is validated in simulations of these solvated peptide systems. We anticipate more applications of this coupled optimisation and production algorithm to other complicated systems such as the biochemical reactions in solution.

description: Complex spatiotemporal patterns, called chimera states, consist of coexisting coherent and incoherent domains and can be observed in networks of coupled oscillators. The interplay of synchrony and asynchrony in complex brain networks is an important aspect in studies of both the brain function and disease. We analyse the collective dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons in complex networks motivated by its potential application to epileptology and epilepsy surgery. We compare two topologies: an empirical structural neural connectivity derived from diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and a mathematically constructed network with modular fractal connectivity. We analyse the properties of chimeras and partially synchronized states and obtain regions of their stability in the parameter planes. Furthermore, we qualitatively simulate the dynamics of epileptic seizures and study the influence of the removal of nodes on the network synchronizability, which can be useful for applications to epileptic surgery.

description: In this study, one- and two-phase partitioning biotrickling filters (1P-BTF and 2P-BTF, respectively) inoculated with a pre-acclimated mixed culture were examined for the removal of hydrophobic and refractory o-xylene. A small fraction of silicone oil (5% v/v) was added as a non-aqueous phase. Due to the presence of silicone oil, the 2P-BTF exhibited superior performance and stability for o-xylene biodegradation at steady and transient operations. Higher macro-kinetic constants for o-xylene removal by the Michaelis–Menten model were obtained for the 2P-BTF with a saturation constant of 0.396 g m−3 and a maximum elimination capacity of 105.7 g m−3 h−1. The enhancement of removal performance for the 2P-BTF was supported by dominant specialized microorganisms with o-xylene biodegradability. The diversity of microbial community was influenced by the presence of silicone oil. This study demonstrated that a BTF with 5% of silicone oil could be applied for the treatment of hydrophobic and refractory volatile organic compounds. It also provided valuable information for better understanding the relationship between microbial community and removal performance using two-phase partitioning bioreactors.

description: To promote the application of iron oxides in sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes, a convenient approach using Cu2O as a catalyst additive was proposed. Composite catalysts based on α-Fe2O3 (CTX%Cu2O, X = 1, 2.5, 5, and 10) were prepared for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation, and sulfamethoxazole was used as a model pollutant to probe the catalytic reactivity. The results show that a synergistic catalytic effect exists between Cu2O and α-Fe2O3, which was explained by the promoted reduction of Fe(III) by Cu(I). Iron K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy investigations indicated that the promoted reduction probably occurred with PMS acting as a ligand that bridges the redox centers of Cu(I) and Fe(III). The weight ratio between Cu2O and α-Fe2O3 influenced the degradation of sulfamethoxazole, and the optimal ratio depended on the dosage of PMS and catalysts. With 40 mg L–1 PMS and 0.6 g L–1 catalyst, a pseudo-first-order constant of ∼0.019 min–1 was achieved for CT2.5%Cu2O, whereas only 0.004 min–1 was realized for α-Fe2O3. Nearly complete degradation of the sulfamethoxazole was achieved within 180 min under the conditions of 40 mg L–1 PMS, 0.4 g L–1 CT2.5%Cu2O, and pH 6.8. In contrast, less than 20% degradation was realized with α-Fe2O3 under similar conditions. The CT2.5%Cu2O catalyst had the best stoichiometric efficiency of PMS (0.317), which was 4.5 and 5.8 times higher than those of Cu2O (0.070) and α-Fe2O3 (0.054), respectively. On the basis of the products identified, the cleavage of the S–N bond was proposed as a major pathway for the degradation of sulfamethoxazole.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Explicit hydration studies of ions require accurate estimation of interaction energies. This work explores the explicit hydration of the ammonium ion (NH4+) employing Møller–Plesset second order (MP2) perturbation theory, an accurate yet relatively less expensive correlated method. Several initial geometries of NH4+(H2O)n (n = 4 to 13) clusters are subjected to MP2 level geometry optimisation with correlation consistent aug-cc-pVDZ (aVDZ) basis set. For large clusters (viz. n > 8), molecular tailoring approach (MTA) is used for single point energy evaluation at MP2/aVTZ level for the estimation of MP2 level binding energies (BEs) at complete basis set (CBS) limit. The minimal nature of the clusters upto n ≤ 8 is confirmed by performing vibrational frequency calculations at MP2/aVDZ level of theory, whereas for larger clusters (9 ≤ n ≤ 13) such calculations are effected via grafted MTA (GMTA) method. The zero point energy (ZPE) corrections are done for all the isomers lying within 1 kcal/mol of the lowest energy one. The resulting frequencies in N–H region (2900–3500 cm−1) and in O–H stretching region (3300–3900 cm−1) are in found to be in excellent agreement with the available experimental findings for 4 ≤ n ≤ 13. Furthermore, GMTA is also applied for calculating the BEs of these clusters at coupled cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) level of theory with aVDZ basis set. This work thus represents an art of the possible on contemporary multi-core computers for studying explicit molecular hydration at correlated level theories.

description: In this paper, we explore the design and use of conversational telepresence robots to help homebound older adults interact with the external world. An initial needfinding study (N=8) using video vignettes revealed older adults' experiential needs for robot-mediated remote experiences such as exploration, reminiscence and social participation. We then designed a prototype system to support these goals and conducted a technology probe study (N=11) to garner a deeper understanding of user preferences for remote experiences. The study revealed user interactive patterns in each desired experience, highlighting the need of robot guidance, social engagements with the robot and the remote bystanders. Our work identifies a novel design space where conversational telepresence robots can be used to foster meaningful interactions in the remote physical environment. We offer design insights into the robot's proactive role in providing guidance and using dialogue to create personalized, contextualized and meaningful experiences.

description: Objective: Non-adherence to pain medication is common in chronic pain patients and may result in unfavorable treatment outcomes. Interventions to improve adherence behavior often fail to significantly change medication use. In this report, we describe the application of a theoretical psychological model of behavior change in order to design an intervention to improve medication adherence in chronic pain patients. Methods: This study applies the Behavior Change Wheel framework and the Behavior Change Techniques Taxonomy to design a theory-based intervention to improve pain medication use. Available literature was used to extract determinants of adherence in chronic pain patients. Results: Selected target behaviors to improve medication adherence are: share agreement on follow up policy, monitor medication adherence, provide patient education routinely, discuss attitudes and concerns towards pain medication, develop medication taking habits and use medication reminders. The intervention consists of three components in which relevant behavior change techniques are applied: (1) changes in the electronic patient data management systems to enable medical staff to apply target behaviors; (2) bi-annual education of medical staff to commit the team to the proposed intervention and provide feedback; (3) routine and mandatory education of chronic pain patients following prescription of pain medication. Conclusions: To improve medication adherence in chronic pain patients, most interventions should be focused on providers of pain therapy. Prescribing chronic pain medication should be seen as part of a larger treatment regimen including adequate follow-up, adherence monitoring and patient education during the course of treatment.

description: Zero-valent iron (ZVI) is a valuable material for environmental remediation, because of its safeness, large availability, and inexpensiveness. Moreover, its reactivity can be improved by addition of (nano-) particles of other elements such as noble metals. However, common preparation methods for this kind of iron-based composites involve wet precipitation of noble metal salt precursors, so they are often expensive and not green. Mechanochemical procedures can provide a solvent-free alternative, even at a large scale. The present study demonstrates that it is possible to tailor functional properties of ZVI-based materials, utilizing high-energy ball milling. All main preparation parameters are investigated and discussed. Specifically, a copper-carbon-iron ternary composite was prepared for fast degradation of 4-nitrophenol (utilized as model pollutant) to 4-aminophenol and other phenolic compounds. Copper and carbon are purposely chosen to insert specific properties to the composite: Copper acts as efficient nano-cathode that enhances electron transfer from iron to 4-nitrophenol, while carbon protects the iron surface from fast oxidation in open air. In this way, the reactive material can rapidly reduce high concentration of nitrophenols in water, it does not require acid washing to be activated, and can be stored in open air for one week without any significant activity loss.

description: Objectives: Current trends among young athletes towards earlier specialization age and year-round training on multiple teams has raised concern for increased injury risk. Our previous analyses showed higher risk for injury in highly specialized young athletes. The goal of this research was to determine whether sports specialization and injury patterns vary by sports type. Methods: In this clinical case-control study, injured athletes (aged 7–18 years) were recruited from sports medicine clinics and compared to similarly aged uninjured athletes recruited from primary care clinics. Participants completed a survey reporting age, gender, sport type, specialization patterns, and details regarding sports-related injuries in the previous 6 months. Clinical diagnoses were collected from patients’ medical records. Injuries were classified as acute, overuse, or serious overuse. Results: Of 1,190 athletes enrolled, 26% (313) were single-sport specialized (reported participation in one sport and trained >8 months/year). Sports with the highest proportion of single-sport specialized athletes were tennis (46.7%), gymnastics (30.1%), and dance (26.3%). Single-sport specialized athletes in individual sports started specializing at a younger age (11.2 ± 2.4 vs. 12.0 ± 2.7, p = 0.05) and reported higher training volumes (11.8 vs. 10.3 h/week, p = 0.04) than those in team sports. Sports with the youngest specialization age were gymnastics (8.9 ± 1.7), dance (10.8 ± 3.0), and soccer (10.9 ± 2.4). Single-sport specialized athletes in individual sports accounted for a higher proportion of overuse injuries (44.3% vs 32.2%, OR = 1.67, p = 0.037) and serious overuse injuries (23.4% vs 11.6%, OR = 2.38, p = 0.011), but a lower proportion of acute injuries (28.8% vs 13.8%, OR = 0.37, p = 0.001) compared to single-sport specialized athletes involved in team sports. Conclusions: Athletes in individual sports may be more likely to specialize in a single sport than team sport athletes. Single-sport specialized athletes in individual sports also reported higher training volumes and greater rates of overuse injuries than single-sport specialized athletes in team sports.

description: The start-up of the anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) process in three up-flow column reactors seeded with common mixed activated sludge and added with three materials, sponge (R1), sponge + volcanic rock (R2) and sponge + charcoal (R3), as carriers for biofilm formation were comparatively investigated in this study. The supplement of volcanic rock and charcoal could significantly shorten the start-up time of the anammox process, which primarily occurred in the activity-enhanced phase, with ammonium and nitrite removal efficiencies stabilized above 92.5% and 93.4% after an operation period of 145, 105 and 121 d for R1, R2 and R3, respectively. After the successful anammox start-up, R2 performed significantly better in TN removal (p < .05), achieving an average rate of 91.0% and 191.5 g N m−3 d−1 compared to R1 of 88.4% and 172.1 g N m−3 d−1, and R3 of 89.9% and 180.1 g N m−3 d−1 in the steady running phase. The ratios of consumed and generated /consumed after anammox start-up were lower than the theoretical values, probably suggesting the simultaneous existences of anammox, denitrification as well as nitrification processes in the reactors. A reddish brown biofilm was wrapped on the carriers and morphological detection of biofilm displayed the presentations of thick and compact floc aggregates and some filamentous bacteria on the sponge, and spherical-, ovoid- and shortrod-shaped microorganisms on the volcanic rock and charcoal. Using porous material as carrier for biofilm development is an effective strategy for practical application of the anammox reactor.

description: Objectives: The long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT-1) has been reported to be over-expressed in several cancer types. However, its role in gastric cancer (GC) remains unclear. In the present study, we examined the expression of MALAT-1 in GC cells and tissues and explored its role in GC cell migration and invasion. Materials and methods: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression level of MALAT-1 in six GC cell lines and 20 gastric tissues (20 GC and 20 adjacent normal mucosa). Functional characterization for the role of MALAT-1 in GC was performed by small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown, followed by series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: MALAT-1 was upregulated in GC cell lines and tissues compared with the immortalized gastric epithelial cell line GES and adjacent normal tissues, respectively. Moreover, MALAT-1 expression was higher in the high-metastatic-potential GC cell line SGC7901M than in the low-metastatic-potential GC cell line SGC7901NM. In vitro and in vivo assays showed that siRNA-mediated silencing of MALAT-1 inhibited GC cell migration and invasion. In addition, suppressing MALAT-1 expression resulted in a decrease in the expression of the Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated marker vimentin and an increase in the expression of E-cadherin at both the mRNA and protein levels. Conclusions: MALAT-1 may promote the migration and invasion of GC cells in part by regulating EMT.

description: Degradation of pollution for specific chemicals represents an optimal approach to high-strength wastewater treatment. One-pot selective conversion of acrylonitrile to acrylic acid in a hydrothermal system with NaOH as a catalyst was carried out. The influence factors were evaluated, including initial acrylonitrile concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and amount of alkali. Experimental results showed that the highest yield of acrylic acid (55%) was obtained at the initial acrylonitrile concentration of 3 × 103 mg/L, 300°C for 90 s with 1.0 M NaOH. To determine the reaction path, intermediates analysis and calculation of carbon and nitrogen balance were carried out by means of HPLC, GC and TOC/TN methods. Two probable reaction pathways were proposed as follows: (1) Acrylonitrile was hydrolyzed into acrylamide, and acrylic acid was obtained via further hydrolysis. (2) Acrylonitrile was converted into 3-hydroxy-propionitrile via additive reaction, and this product was readily converted to 3-hydroxy-propionic acid through two steps of hydrolysis, followed by dehydration reaction to produce acrylic acid. This study offered not only an efficient method to transfer highly toxic pollutants into valuable chemical, but also a better understanding of hydrothermal alkali catalytic reaction.

description: Ebola viruses (EBOV) will induce acute hemorrhagic fever, which is fatal to humans and nonhuman primates. The combination of EBOV VP35 peptide with nucleoprotein N-terminal (NPNTD) is proposed based on static crystal structures in recent studies, but VP35 binding mechanism and conformational dynamics are still unclear. This investigation, using Molecular Dynamic (MD) simulation and Molecular Mechanics Generalized Born Surface Area (MM-GB/SA) energy calculation, more convincingly proves the greater roles of the protein binding mechanisms than do hints from the static crystal structure observations. Conformational analysis of the systems demonstrate that combination with VP35 may lead to the conformational transition of NPNTD from “open” to “closed” state. According to the analyses of binding free energies and their decomposition, VP35 residue R37 plays a crucial role in wild type as well as mutant systems. Mutations of I29 and L33 to aspartate as well as M34 to proline affect binding affinity mainly through influencing electrostatic interaction, which is closely related to H-bonds formation. In addition, mutations mainly affect β-hairpin and loop regions, among which, M34P may have the greatest influence to the binding. This study may provide specific binding mechanisms between VP35 peptide and NPNTD, especially some important residues concerning binding.

description: The chemical investigation of ethanolic extract from Swertia mussotii Franch. has resulted in the isolation of 11 compounds which were identified as Orcinol-β-D-glucoside (1), Shamimin (2), Mangiferin (3), Decussatin (4), Bellidifolin (5), Desmethylbellidifolin (6), Protocatechuic acid (7), 1,7-Dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxyxanthone (8), 1,8-Dihydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyxanthone (9), 1-Hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyxanthone (10), Telephioidin (11). The chemical structures of these compounds were identified by a combination of spectroscopic analysis and a comparison with those reported in literature. Among them, compounds 1, 2, 7 and 11 were isolated from the genus Swertia for the first time. Moreover, the chemotaxonomic significance of these compounds was summarised. The chemotaxonomic study suggests that there is a close chemotaxonomic relationship between S. mussotii and other species of Swertia, such as S. punicea, S. macrosperma, S. japonica, S. phragmitiphylla, S. chirayita, S. cordata and S. binchuanensis, with presence of compounds 3~6, 8~10. The xanthones and their glycosides may sever as important chemotaxonomic markers of Swertia genus.
