description: The aim of current study is to identify the kinetic characteristics and elucidate the possible transformation pathways of the interaction between the redox mediator(anthraquinone- 2,6-disulfonate, AQDS) and goethite during the process of microbial goethite reduction by Shewanella putrefaciens, a dissimilatory iron reduction bacterium (DIRB). Speciations of both AQDS and microbially reduced ferrous iron are used to characterize the interaction process among Shewanella putrefaciens, AQDS and goethite. Due to the complexities of the natural environment, two pre-incubation reaction systems of the “DIRB-goethite” and the “DIRB-AQDS” are introduced to investigate the dynamics of goethite reduction and redox transformation of AQDS. Results show that the characteristics of the microbial goethite reduction and the kinetic transformation between two species of the redox mediator are different in two pre-incubation reaction systems. Both abiotic and enzymatic reactions and their coupling regulate the kinetic process for “redox mediator-iron” interaction in the presence of DIRB. This study will help to understand the characteristics and mechanism of microbial reduction of the Fe(III) oxide and transformation of redox mediator.

description: Objective To model the potential economic impact of implementing the AUTONOMY once daily (Q1D) patient self-titration mealtime insulin dosing algorithm vs standard of care (SOC) among a population of patients with Type 2 diabetes living in the US. Methods Three validated models were used in this analysis: The Treatment Transitions Model (TTM) was used to generate the primary results, while both the Archimedes (AM) and IMS Core Diabetes Models (IMS) were used to test the veracity of the primary results produced by TTM. Models used data from a ‘real world’ representative sample of patients (2012 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey) that matched the characteristics of US patients enrolled in the randomized controlled trial ‘AUTONOMY’ cohort. The base-case time horizon was 10 years. Results The modeling results from TTM demonstrated that total costs in the base-case were reduced by $1732, with savings predicted to occur as early as year 1. Results from the three models were consistent, showing a reduction in total costs for all sensitivity analyses. Limitations Data from short-term clinical trials were used to develop long-term projections. The nature of such extrapolation leads to increased uncertainty. Conclusion The results from all three models indicate that the AUTONOMY Q1D algorithm has the potential to abate total costs as early as the first year.

description: The aim of this article is to review the theory of disruptive innovation over the course of its development and analyze its theory building process. The analysis is framed through the theory of scientific development proposed by Thomas S. Kuhn (2012). The novel application of Kuhn’s framework highlights crucial developments and faults. It is assessed how the development of disruptive innovation matches the four stages of scientific development: crisis, revolution, normal science and the accumulation of anomalies. It is demonstrated that this framework is a successful means of conceptualizing the development of disruptive innovation. The theory is currently at the stage of normal science. The two potential anomalies are evaluated. It is concluded that controversies surrounding definitions are not an essential threat to the theory. Establishing predictive value on the other hand is a critical point in future development of the theory. It is shown that the future of the theory depends on whether the latter point is resolved.

description: Die gesellschaftliche Bearbeitung von Umweltproblemen, und in diesem Zusammenhang die Transformation des Energiesystems, inklusive der darin enthaltenden gesamtgesellschaftlichen Entwicklungsdynamiken, verlangt nach kollektiv bindenden Entscheidungen sowie der Anpassung bestehender Steuerungs- und Governance-Modelle. Dabei ist die Gestaltung von Beteiligungsverfahren ein zentraler Ankerpunkt: können Partizipationsangebote im Rahmen der Energiewende so gestaltet werden, dass sie über kurzweilige Beteiligung an Planungsverfahren hinausgehen und mittel- und langfristig die Akzeptanz für die notwendigen Transformationen des Energiesystems erhöhen? Welche Sorgen und Wünsche verbinden Bürger*innen mit konkreten Partizipationsangeboten und wie sollten diese ihrer Meinung nach entworfen werden? Ein zentraler Fokus der Partizipationsforschung liegt bis heute auf Untersuchungen zu den Auswirkungen von Verfahren auf das Verhalten und die Einstellungen der Teilnehmenden. Im Rahmen der Studie wurde diese Perspektive umgedreht: wie müssen Partizipationsangebote gestaltet werden, wenn sie nicht als Lösungsmechanismus für ein Problem konzipiert werden (z.B. geringe Akzeptanz von Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Planungsverfahren) sondern sich an den allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Bürger*innen orientieren? Zu diesem Zweck wurde in Kooperation mit den Stadtwerken Münster eine Online-Befragung mit Kund*innen durchgeführt, um bezüglich dieser Fragestellungen wichtige Erkenntnisse zu gewinnen.

description: The treatment performance of ibuprofen (IBP)-enriched wastewater by horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetlands planted with cattail (Typha angustifolia) and unplanted control mesocosms was investigated. Removal efficiencies of IBP were significantly (p < .05) enhanced in the planted mesocosms (78.5%) compared to those in the unplanted beds (57.9%). An 18S rRNA gene high-throughput pyrosequencing approach was used to investigate the effects of IBP on the structure of the fungal community in these wetland systems. The overall diversity of the fungal community was reduced under the IBP exposure. Taxonomic analysis revealed that 62.2% of the fungal sequences were affiliated with Basidiomycota, followed by Ascomycota (37.4%) at the phylum level. Uncultured fungus (48.2%), Chaetomium sp. (14.2%), Aspergillus sp. (12.4%), Trichoderma sp. (5.7%), Cladosporium sp. (5.4%), and Emericellopsis sp. (5.2%) were identified as dominant genera. At the genus level, a distinct profile of the fungal community in the IBP-enriched mesocosms was observed as compared to the control beds, and as well specific fungal genera were enhanced in the planted beds, regardless of IBP enrichment. However, despite these differences, the composition of the fungal community (as measured by Bray–Curtis similarity) was mostly unaffected by the significant IBP enrichment. On the other hand, a consistent similarity pattern of fungal community structure in the planted mesocosms suggests that the presence of higher macrophytes in the wetland systems may well help shape the fungal community structure.

description: Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) require metabolic activation to exert cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and tumorigenicity. We previously reported that (±)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP)-derived DNA adducts are responsible for PA-induced liver tumor formation in rats. In this study, we determined that metabolism of riddelliine and monocrotaline by human or rat liver microsomes produced 7-cysteine-DHP and DHP. The metabolism of 7-glutathionyl-DHP by human and rat liver microsomes also generated 7-cysteine-DHP. Further, reaction of 7-cysteine-DHP with calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution yielded the described DHP-derived DNA adducts. This study represents the first report that 7-cysteine-DHP is a new PA metabolite that can lead to DNA adduct formation.

description: Teas and tinctures prepared from five rose organs were analysed for their antioxidant, anti-hyaluronidase, and acetylcholinesterase inhibiting activity. Moreover, analysis of phenolic acids and flavonoids was carried out by the use of liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). As a result, the presence of 10 phenolic acids and 10 flavonoid glycosides was shown. Significant antioxidant potential (0.26 to 4.25 mmol Trolox/g) and reducing power (1092.04 to 9258.70 mmol Fe2+/g) was revealed. Moreover, high anti-hyaluronidase activity demonstrated especially by tinctures and differentiated acetylcholinesterase inhibiting effects were observed. The investigated extracts may be considered as potential sources of phenolics and health-promoting ingredients in everyday diet.
Historicising human antiquity in Australia, 1860-1960
Creators: name: Way, Amy

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: In 1859, leading British scientists reached a consensus that overthrew traditional chronologies and asserted that human beings had existed on Earth for upwards of hundreds of thousands of years. For Australian historians and archaeologists, the consensus on human antiquity was an intellectual revolution that would not be fully realised in Australia for another century. Existing literature argues that the reality of Australia’s extensive Aboriginal occupation was not ‘discovered’ or broadly understood until the 1960s, when the twin revolutions of professional archaeology and radiocarbon dating propelled the country’s human history into the national and international spotlight. Until this point, common settler understandings placed Aboriginal Australians at only a few thousand years old.This dissertation contests the claim that it took one hundred years to apply an understanding of human antiquity to Australia's Aboriginal population. In the decades following the British consensus in 1859, Australia’s human antiquity was Aboriginal, but as the twentieth century dawned, public and professional recognition of that aboriginality began to turn on a dime of racial politics and shifting methodological goalposts. By warping their disciplinary paradigms, scientists could claim a deep human past for Australia, while simultaneously maintaining that Aboriginal antiquity was ‘not proven.’ Even in moments when a distinctly Aboriginal antiquity was proven, such knowledge was often disconnected from living Aboriginal peoples. Current scholarship claims there was no ‘scientific’ discovery of Aboriginal antiquity until the 1960s because evidentiary support and appropriate professional interpretation was lacking. These narratives’ oversimplified periodisation of amateur versus professional, ignorance versus enlightenment, not only elide the shifting levels of recognition that were given to Australia’s human antiquity, but ignore the nuanced and insidious process of contradictory cognition and intellectual dispossession that professional scientists were all too embroiled in. To redress these narratives, this dissertation refocuses a historical gaze on the concept of human antiquity in an in-depth intellectual history of its conceptualisation in Australia. Doing so provides crucial context for Australia’s current academic interest in the deep human past, while also confronting the role it plays in national and cultural narratives.

description: Wearable ionization air cleaners are compact in size and marketed for personal respiratory protection by removing air pollutants from users' breathing zone. In this study, ozone emission and particle removal rates of four wearable ionization air cleaners (namely, AC1 through AC4) were evaluated inside a 0.46 m3 stainless steel chamber. Continuous measurements were conducted for ozone concentration, PM2.5 concentration, and particle size distribution in the size range of 18.1–289 nm. Two of the four wearable air cleaners (i.e., AC1 and AC2) had detectable ozone emissions. The 10-h average ozone emission rates were quite different (i.e., 0.67 mg·h−1 for AC1 and 3.40 × 10−2 mg·h−1 for AC2); however, the ozone emissions were negligible for AC3 and AC4. The number removal rates for particles within the measured size range were highly variable (i.e., 2.20 h−1, 0.52 h−1, 8.10 h−1, and 27.9 h−1 for AC1 through AC4, respectively). The corresponding mass removal rates of PM2.5 were 1.85 h−1, 0.48 h−1,1.52 h−1, and 5.37 h−1, respectively. Regulatory guidelines are needed to assure these devices can effectively remove particles without ozone emissions to protect public health. Copyright © 2016 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are essential components in all electronic systems, and their reliability is crucial for product performance, especially in the consumer electronics sector where single-layered PCBs are commonly used. Detecting surface defects such as missing holes, spurious copper, and open circuits is a critical step in ensuring product quality. This paper proposes an automated surface defect detection system specifically designed for single-layered PCBs using a hybrid deep learning approach. The model integrates YOLOv5, a state-of-the-art object detection algorithm, with the Swin Transformer, a vision transformer known for its hierarchical feature learning and enhanced attention mechanisms. A custom dataset comprising over1000 annotated images from six different single-layered PCBs was collected and labeled for this purpose. The proposed model was trained and evaluated on Google Colab and compared with baseline YOLOv5 performance. Results show a significant improvement in defect detection accuracy, particularly in complex and overlapping defect regions. This work demonstrates the potential of transformer-based models in improving PCB inspection processes and offers a practical solution tailored to the specific requirements of consumer electronics manufacturing.

description: Les constructions en terre crue, comme le pisé, connaissent ces dernières années un regain d’intérêt de par leur faible énergie grise, la possibilité de recyclage du matériau, et leur intérêt en terme de confort hygrothermique. Dans l’objectif de mieux caractériser le comportement et la résistance de ces structures sous sollicitation sismique une première approche est présentée ici dans laquelle 4 murs en pisé, à échelle ½, sont expérimentalement soumis à une poussée progressive en tête. Les résultats permettent d’appréhender à la fois le comportement du mur jusqu’à la rupture, de connaître le chargement maximum admissible et d’observer une bonne tenue des structures après la rupture. La modélisation numérique étant nécessaire pour aller vers une analyse de structures plus complexes, un premier modèle est mené ici, en utilisant le modèle de Drucker-Prager et en déterminant au mieux les paramètres par des essais mécaniques. Les résultats montrent que le comportement en poussée progressive peut être reproduit de manière acceptable, surtout lorsque la variation de l’angle de frottement et de la cohésion est prise en compte au sein des couches de pisé.

description: Information security economics, an emerging and thriving research topic, attempts to address the problems of distorted incentives for stakeholders in an Internet environment, including firms, hackers, the public sector, and other participants, using economic approaches. To alleviate consumer anxiety about the loss of sensitive information, and to further increase consumer demand, firms usually integrate their information security investment strategies to capture market share from competitors and their security information sharing strategies to increase consumer demand across all member firms in industry-based information sharing centers. Using differential game theory, this article investigates dynamic strategies for security investment and information sharing for two competing firms under targeted attacks, in which both firms can influence the value of their information assets through the endogenous determination of pricing rates. We analytically and numerically examine how both security investment rates and information sharing rates are affected by several key parameters in a non-cooperative scenario, including the efficiency of security investment rates, sensitivity parameters for pricing rates, coefficients of consumer demand losses, and the density of targeted attacks. Our results reveal that, confronted with a higher coefficient of consumer demand loss and a higher density of targeted attacks, both firms are reluctant to aggressively defend against hackers and would rather decrease the negative effect of hacker attacks by lowering their pricing rates. Also, we derive feedback equilibrium solutions for the situation where both firms cooperate in security investment, information sharing, or both. It is revealed that although a higher hacker attack density always decreases a firm's integral profits, both firms are not always willing to cooperate in security investment and information sharing. Specifically, the superior firm benefits most when both firms fully cooperate and benefits the least when they behave fully non-cooperatively. However, the inferior firm enjoys the highest integral profit when both firms only cooperate in information sharing and the lowest integral profit in the completely cooperative situation.

description: Much attention has been given to the problem of drug delivery through the cell membrane in order to treat and manage bone diseases recently. The aim of this study was to develop nanoparticles made of amino- and histidinyl-modified amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) entrapping osteoclast inhibitor, a hydrophobic oligopeptides drug, across the membrane of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Drug-loaded β-CDs nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the emulsion solvent evaporation technique and fully characterized for size, zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency. Spherical NPs displaying a hydrodynamic radius of about 295 nm which did not change upon storage as an aqueous dispersion, a positive zeta potential, and entrapment efficiency of drug very close to 98% were produced. Flow cytometry and spectrofluorimetry analysis indicated that the model drug itself was not taken up by the BMMs; however, NP systems underwent significant cellular uptake. In particular, histidinyl group-modified CD (β-CD-H) NPs were taken up more efficiently than amino group-modified (β-CD-A) ones. Cellular uptake mechanism study demonstrated that the permeability of drug-loaded NPs across the membrane of BMMs is probably due to macropinocytosis pathway. Cell viability studies showed that both β-CD-A and β-CD-H exhibited no significant cytotoxicity up to 1.0 mg/ml against the cells. These results highlight the developed β-CD-H NPs have great potential in safely and effectively delivering osteoclast inhibitors and other therapeutic agents toward bone disease.

description: Much attention has been given to the problem of drug delivery through the cell-membrane in order to treat and manage bone diseases recently. The aim of this study was to develop nanoparticles made of amino and histidinyl modified amphiphilic β-cyclodextrins (β-CDs) entrapping osteoclast inhibitor, a hydrophobic oligopeptides drug, across the membrane of bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). Drug-loaded β-CDs nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the emulsion-solvent evaporation technique and fully characterized for size, zeta potential and entrapment efficiency. Spherical NPs displaying a hydrodynamic radius of about 295 nm which did not change upon storage as an aqueous dispersion, a positive zeta potential and entrapment efficiency of drug very close to 98% were produced. Flow cytometry and spectrofluorimetry analysis indicated that the model drug itself was not taken up by the BMMs; however, NP systems underwent significant cellular uptake. In particular, histidinyl group-modified CD (β-CD-H) NPs were taken up more efficiently than amino group-modified (β-CD-A) ones. Cellular uptake mechanism study demonstrated that the permeability of drug-loaded NPs across the membrane of BMMs is probably due to macropinocytosis pathway. Cell viability studies showed that both β-CD-A and β-CD-H exhibited no significant cytotoxicity up to 1.0 mg/ml against the cells. These results highlights the developed β-CD-H NPs have great potential in safely and effectively delivering osteoclast inhibitors and other therapeutic agents towards bone disease.

description: Specific targeting of tumor cells to achieve higher drug levels in tumor tissue and to overcome side effects is the major goal in cancer chemotherapy. In this study, we used a tumor targeting peptide, GE11, to conjugate onto the surface of doxorubicin encapsulated phospholipid micelles. The GE11 peptide triggered specific binding to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), leading to enhanced cellular uptake and cytotoxicity in vitro and highly accumulation in the tumors in vivo. The results indicated that GE11 conjugated phospholipid micelles should have potential applications in cancer therapy.

description: Cooper introduced the Stage-Gate® process to structure the new product development (NPD) process in the late 1980s. Empirical evidence showed that successfully managing the NPD process helps firms to outperform their competitors over long periods of time. This indicates that appropriately managing the NPD process has become an imperative for firms. While some firms possess these capabilities succeed, many other firms lack the knowledge how to appropriately design and implement NPD processes. The NPD process must be flexible and adapted to changing market and customer requirements. Consequently, an efficient, less complex, and adaptive NPD process ensures not only a firm´s continuance but differentiates between winners and losers. For this reason, best performing firms are reinventing their NPD processes by adding elements of adaptivity, agility and acceleration to the original Stage-Gate® process, which represents a rather rigid framework. Novel approaches for the NPD process adaption have mainly emerged from literature and thus, still lack empirical evidence. However, some firms have already incorporated these elements in their NPD process. Therefore, the example of the I2P3® process is used to illustrate how a Stage-Gate® process can be adapted to the changing environment of the chemical industry. This article uniquely provides an overview of the evolution and advancements of different Stage-Gate® models and future research areas. In addition, it gives assistance for practitioners to select the right approach for their NPD process.

description: Membrane–based separation of gaseous mixtures is a technology that facilitates environmentally friendly and efficient control of gaseous compositions in industrial applications, from natural gas processing to the product’s shelf–life extension. Polymer–based membranes offer several advantages, such as low energy consumption, manufacturing scalability, and reduced carbon footprint. To fully enhance the overall sustainability of chemical processes, materials currently used in membrane separation should to be replaced with sustainable alternatives, such as biobased and biodegradable materials. This is a non–negotiable option to tackle the end–of–life issues and reduce carbon emissions of membrane–based separations. With a broader outlook, the membrane manufacturing sector requires a substantial shift towards a sustainable–by–design approach applied to the whole production chain, including the solvents used in the fabrication process and additives used to enhance the membrane performance. Despite the attractiveness of biomaterials, several issues might delay their commercialisation and integration into relevant industrial applications, like the difficulty to find an optimal biopolymer formulation for a specific application. Experimental assessment of transport properties is an essential step when the industrial application of a new class of biopolymers is considered for the first time. On the other hand, a systematic experimental study is generally expensive and time–consuming, as there are many possible candidates. Computational approaches offer a cost–effective means to complement the initial experimental investigation, capable to inform future design choices and reduce the time–to–market of biopolymers. Once the relationship between the polymeric structure and its properties is established within a specific class, its performance can be further tailored for a specific application by combining polymeric matrix with materials that can modify the desired properties. Overall, the present Dissertation aims to accelerate the integration of sustainable materials into different industrial membrane–based applications.

description: The chemical compositions of the surface conditioning layers formed by different types of solutions (from isolated EPS to whole culture media), involving different bacterial strains relevant for biocorrosion were compared, as they may influence the initial step in biofilm formation. Different substrata (polystyrene, glass, steel) were conditioned and analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Peak decomposition and assignment were validated by correlations between independent spectral data and the ubiquitous presence of organic contaminants on inorganic substrata was taken into account. Proteins or peptides were found to be a major constituent of all conditioning layers and polysaccharides were not present in appreciable concentrations; the proportion of nitrogen which may be due to DNA was lower than 15%. There was no significant difference between the compositions of the adlayers formed from different conditioning solutions, except for the adlayers produced with tightly bound EPS extracted from D. alaskensis.

description: Richmond Hill Stream in Sumner, New Zealand, is a small waterway discharging into a sandy beach coastal environment. Historical records show that the flow path for Richmond Hill Stream has typically intercepted the coastal dune system at about the mid-point of the beach and was likely to have resulting in a natural ponding area in this vicinity in times of high discharge. Natural mechanisms which reduce flooding of the back-dune area in times of rain include stream mouth structures through the dunes, and percolation of surface runoff into sandy soils or the beach itself. However engineering modifications associated with residential development in the area have resulted in piping of a considerable length of the stream beneath the urban area to a flap-gated discharge point protected by a rip-rap revetment structure. Periodic failure of this engineering results in overland flows through the urban area, exposing several properties to risk. In these events floodwaters are observed to pond in the back-dune area of the beach which is currently being restored as part of the Sumner Coastcare Project. The purpose of this report is to describe an opportunity for restoration of the Richmond Hill Stream coastal connection in these events through incorporating an overland flow path and discharge point into the dune restoration plan.
