description: The volume of conventional street crime in society is influenced, to a considerable extent, by numerous community-level variables. These community properties exert an influence over the frequency of predatory criminal behaviour which is independent from that of individual-level characteristics. There are two broad categories of community variables which affect the volume of criminal conduct within an area--cultural and structural. The former refers to the relative balance between commitment to individualistic and communitarian values. Although neither cultural condition can be described as entirely emancipatory or destructive in nature, by virtue of encouraging the establishment of social networks which evoke duties and responsibilities towards others which strengthens the primary institutions of social integration and control, moderately communitarian societies are prone to experiencing lower levels of street crime than moderately individualistic societies. Community structure refers to the actual neighbourhood properties which are directly associated with criminal behaviour. These include residential mobility, unemployment, poverty, the physical condition of the local infrastructure and building stock, and crime itself. Both community culture and structure are highly sensitive to the pressures of broad political economic forces, including those of the modern welfare state. The institutionalization of welfare provision in the United States has undermined communitarianism and has encouraged residential mobility, the concentration of poverty, the concentration of unemployment, and to a lesser extent, the physical deterioration of neighbourhoods.

description: We report on the detection of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0437-4715 with the Murchison Wide-field Array (MWA) at a frequency of 192 MHz. Our observations show rapid modulations of pulse intensity in time and frequency that arise from diffractive scintillation effects in the interstellar medium (ISM), as well as prominent drifts of intensity maxima in the time-frequency plane that arise from refractive effects. Our analysis suggests that the scattering screen is located at a distance of ~80-120 pc from the Sun, in disagreement with a recent claim that the screen is closer (~10 pc). Comparisons with higher frequency data from Parkes reveal a dramatic evolution of the pulse profile with frequency, with the outer conal emission becoming comparable in strength to that from the core and inner conal regions. As well as demonstrating the high time resolution science capabilities currently possible with the MWA, our observations underscore the potential to conduct low-frequency investigations of timing-array millisecond pulsars, which may lead to increased sensitivity in the detection of nanoHertz gravitational waves via the accurate characterization of ISM effects.

Textiles

description: The connective tissue in my graduate portfolio thus far has been the manipulation and application of textiles. My MA portfolio includes projects from the courses I have taken up to this point in which I have been introduced to new techniques and materials. It has been helpful to consider the marriage of textiles with the coursework assigned in my 3D Design classes, particularly in interior and furniture applications. By now, though, an individualized proposal for a body of work foregrounding textiles will support my zeal and enhance my expertise in the medium moving forward.My foremost ambition in pursuing this medium is the production of ambiguous furnishings that can be used indoors and out, with an emphasis on multiples and subtleties that can accommodate varying tastes and spatial environments. Pursuing this path will envelop technical sewing skills learned in my design courses, screen printing on textiles developed in printmaking, and considering social and environmental impact as a maker in the 21st century.
title: ZOYSIAGRASS TOLERANCE TO SELECTIVE HERBICIDES FOR THE REMOVAL OF BERMUDAGRASS AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE ANNUAL BLUEGRASS WEEVIL (LISTRONOTUS MACULICOLLIS) IN KENTUCKY

description: Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) may be a problematic weed within zoysiagrass (Zoysia spp.) swards across its entire range. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of the herbicide safener metcamifen + trifloxysulfuron-sodium, in conjunction with fluazifop-P-butyl, at removing bermudagrass from zoysiagrass and how varying levels of treatment affected bermudagrass control and zoysiagrass tolerance. Field studies tested rates of metcamifen + trifloxysulfuron-sodium applied with fluazifop-P-butyl compared to treatments of fluazifop alone and fenoxaprop with triclopyr. All treatments controlled bermudagrass, and treatments with the herbicide safener remained under the 20% injury threshold for zoysiagrass for ≤ to 15 days compared to ≥ 46 days across the study for the remaining treatments. This is the first report of complete suppression of bermudagrass without unacceptable injury to zoysiagrass. Listronotus maculicollis is an economically important pest of turfgrass that has historically been confined to the Northeastern USA. In recent years, this pest has been found causing damage to golf courses outside of its traditional range. In Kentucky, damage from L. maculicollis was first reported in 2018. Although the presence of the weevil has been confirmed, little was known about the distribution and abundance of L. maculicollis within the state. The objective of this study was to conduct a statewide survey of golf courses superintendents in Kentucky and develop a map of the known distribution of L. maculicollis in the state. The results of the survey showed that the current distribution of L. maculicollis is limited to the physiographic Bluegrass region of the state which contains the most populous cities and the highest number of golf courses.

Subjects: subject: Biology, Genetics.

description: In an effort to position the alder, Alnus incana, in the scope of phylogenetic relationships, ribosomal RNA genes from its chloroplasts have been cloned and analysed. A genomic library was constructed in the vector LambdaGEM-11 with DNA isolated from leaf tissue. DNA fragments covering the length of the 23S and 16S rRNA genes as well as trnI and sections of trnA were sequenced. The order of chloroplast genes within the sequenced region of alder is identical to that seen in higher plants: 16S-trnI-trnA-23S. Comparisons of the primary sequence of the alder 16S and 23S rRNA genes with available ribosomal RNA and DNA sequences have demonstrated the greatest degree of homology between the alder sequences and those of other higher plant sequences. Comparisons to bacterial sequences yield higher homologies to the cyanobacterial sequences as opposed to those of E. coli. Further sequence analysis shows that the primary sequence obtained for the 16S rRNA gene in alder can be folded to follow the secondary structure of the maize 16S rRNA molecule.

description: Abstract Recent epidemiological evidence connects ambient air pollutants to adverse neurobehavioural effects in adults. In animal models, subchronic controlled exposures to diesel exhaust (DE) have also showed evidence of neuroinflammation. Evidence suggests that DE not only affects outcomes commonly associated with cognitive dysfunction, but also balance impairment. We conducted a controlled human exposure experiment with 28 healthy subjects (average age = 28 years (SD = 7.1; range = 21–49); and 40% female) who were exposed to two conditions, filtered air (FA) and DE (300 μg PM2.5/m3) for 120 min, in a double-blinded crossover study with randomized exposures separated by four weeks. Postural stability was assessed by the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS), a brief, easily-administered test of static balance. The BESS consists of a sequence of three stances performed on two surfaces. With hands on hips and eyes closed, each stance is held for 20 s. “Error” points are awarded for deviations from those stances. Pre- and immediately post-exposure BESS “error” point totals were calculated and the difference between the two timepoints were compared for each of the two exposure conditions. A mixed effect model assessed the significance of the association. While our data demonstrates a trend of reduced postural stability in response to exposure to DE, exposure was not significantly associated with BESS value. This is the first study to investigate changes in postural stability as a result of exposure to DE in human subjects.
A study of errors involved in seismic analysis of secondary systems.

Year: 1990
Subjects: subject: Engineering, Civil.

description: The study deals with the sources of error in seismic modal analysis of primary-secondary coupled systems using the 'combination of modal properties' approach. Four sources of error are studied: non-classical damping, evaluation of modal properties of the combined system, combination of modal responses and response contribution from the high frequency modes. Harmonic response of a non-classically damped system provides a valuable insight into its response to a general load. For a non-harmonic load, the error involved in diagonalization depends on its frequency content. The dependence of the error on the applied load increases with the severity of non-classical nature. Use of approximate mode shapes obtained by perturbation is an attempt to transform the equations of motion using a transformation matrix that is different from the exact-mode-shape matrix. The error involved in an attempted modal superposition analysis for such a case mainly stems from the neglect of off-diagonal terms in the transformed mass, stiffness and damping matrices. The phenomenon of closely spaced modes in primary-secondary coupled systems and consequent correlation between modal responses is discussed. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: In 2019, physiotherapy students in their final year of university study provided two four-week blocks of intense physiotherapy services at Acacia Hill School (AHS) in Alice Springs. This school is the only education facility which caters specifically for children with additional needs in Central Australia. Of the 93 pupils at the school, 67% identify as Indigenous and 30% are in out of home care. These children are some of the nation’s most vulnerable. This service-learning placement emerged in response to a dearth of physiotherapy services for pupils and their families at AHS. A lack of government-funded resourcing combined with a problematic transition for many families onto the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) had resulted in some school-aged children with significant neuro-disability not having had access to critical physiotherapy for up to five years.

description: Background This study investigates differences in treatment and outcome of ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) between university and non-university hospitals in Germany. Methods This subanalysis of a prospective, observational cohort study was performed to identify independent risk factors for mortality by examining: baseline factors, ventilator settings (e.g., driving pressure), complications, and care settings—for example, case volume of ventilated patients, size/type of intensive care unit (ICU), and type of hospital (university/non-university hospital). To control for potentially confounding factors at ARDS onset and to verify differences in mortality, ARDS patients in university vs non-university hospitals were compared using additional multivariable analysis. Results Of the 7540 patients admitted to 95 ICUs from 18 university and 62 non-university hospitals in May 2004, 1028 received mechanical ventilation and 198 developed ARDS. Although the characteristics of ARDS patients were very similar, hospital mortality was considerably lower in university compared with non- university hospitals (39.3% vs 57.5%; p = 0.012). Treatment in non-university hospitals was independently associated with increased mortality (OR (95% CI): 2.89 (1.31–6.38); p = 0.008). This was confirmed by additional independent comparisons between the two patient groups when controlling for confounding factors at ARDS onset. Higher driving pressures (OR 1.10; 1 cmH2O increments) were also independently associated with higher mortality. Compared with non- university hospitals, higher positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) (mean ± SD: 11.7 ± 4.7 vs 9.7 ± 3.7 cmH2O; p = 0.005) and lower driving pressures (15.1 ± 4.4 vs 17.0 ± 5.0 cmH2O; p = 0.02) were applied during therapeutic ventilation in university hospitals, and ventilation lasted twice as long (median (IQR): 16 (9–29) vs 8 (3–16) days; p

description: We use a background quasar to detect the presence of circumgalactic gas around a z = 0.91 low-mass star-forming galaxy. Data from the new Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) on the Very Large Telescope show that the galaxy has a dust-corrected star formation rate (SFR) of 4.7 +/- 2.0. M-circle dot yr(-1), with no companion down to 0.22 M-circle dot yr(-1) (5 sigma) within 240 h(-1) kpc ('30'). Using a high-resolution spectrum of the background quasar, which is fortuitously aligned with the galaxy major axis (with an azimuth angle alpha of only 15 degrees), we find, in the gas kinematics traced by low-ionization lines, distinct signatures consistent with those expected for a 'cold-flow disk' extending at least 12 kpc (3 x R-1/2). We estimate the mass accretion rate M-in to be at least two to three times larger than the SFR, using the geometric constraints from the IFU data and the H (I) column density of log N-H (I)/cm(-2) similar or equal to 20.4 obtained from a Hubble Space Telescope/COS near-UV spectrum. From a detailed analysis of the low-ionization lines (e.g., Zn II, Cr II, Ti II, MnII, Si II), the accreting material appears to be enriched to about 0.4 Z(circle dot) (albeit with large uncertainties: log Z/Z(circle dot) = -0.4 +/- 0.4), which is comparable to the galaxy metallicity (12 + log O/H = 8.7 +/- 0.2), implying a large recycling fraction from past outflows. Blueshifted Mg II and Fe II absorptions in the galaxy spectrum from the MUSE data reveal the presence of an outflow. The Mg II and Fe II absorption line ratios indicate emission infilling due to scattering processes, but the MUSE data do not show any signs of fluorescent Fe II* emission.
A family of modified Huber loss functions for continual reassessment methods in clinical trials

description: In most Phase I dose-finding trials, the primary goal is to establish the safety of a proposed therapeutic regimen and determine its maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for the subsequent phases of the trial. Methods for discovering an optimal criterion that controls toxicity while demonstrating a potential for efficacy have been the subject of statistical research. Although continual reassessment methods (CRM) have been utilized for dose-finding purposes, the consensus among practitioners and clinical trial specialists is that there is always room for improvement with CRM.
description: Within the paradigm of a full-Bayesian method for CRM, we examine the performance of dose-selection algorithms based on a family of loss functions defined by Huber (1964), with a special focus on the modified Huber loss functions. Our exploration suggests that compared to the traditional escalation rule (TER), point estimate, decision rule based on toxicity interval loss function (TILF), and Bayesian optimal interval (BOIN) design, the approach based on the generalized modified Huber loss function (GMHLF) has been able to select correct doses and has respectable performance with fewer subjects across the spectrum of dose-escalation schemes such as seen in clinical settings.
description: We also proposed an asymmetric modified Huber loss function (AMHLF) which penalizes under/overdosing differently to fit the reality of clinical trials in which the symmetric penalty would not make sense. The simulation study shows that when AMHLF is employed in certain scenarios, it is more likely to select the correct dose as the MTD. This advantage comes with the cost of requiring a slightly larger sample size compared to GMHLF. AMHLF performs as well as, if not better than competitors like TER, point estimate, decision rules based on TILF, and BOIN, all while requiring fewer subjects than BOIN. However, it is important to note that the parameter selection process for AMHLF is intricate.
description: We have developed an R package (bayescrm), including a vignette, user manual, and illustrative examples, to be made available to practitioners with the hopes of disseminating these findings to a grander audience.

description: Relatively little is known about the epidemiology and factors underlying susceptibility to childhood rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS). To better characterize genetic susceptibility to childhood RMS, we evaluated the role of family history of cancer using data from the largest case–control study of RMS and the Utah Population Database (UPDB). RMS cases (n = 322) were obtained from the Children's Oncology Group (COG). Population-based controls (n = 322) were pair-matched to cases on race, sex, and age. Conditional logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between family history of cancer and childhood RMS. The results were validated using the UPDB, from which 130 RMS cases were identified and matched to controls (n = 1300) on sex and year of birth. The results were combined to generate summary odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Having a first-degree relative with a cancer history was more common in RMS cases than controls (ORs = 1.39, 95% CI: 0.97–1.98). Notably, this association was stronger among those with embryonal RMS (ORs = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.54–3.86). Moreover, having a first-degree relative who was younger at diagnosis of cancer (<30 years) was associated with a greater risk of RMS (ORs = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.34–4.18). In the largest analysis of its kind, we found that most children diagnosed with RMS did not have a family history of cancer. However, our results indicate an increased risk of RMS (particularly embryonal RMS) in children who have a first-degree relative with cancer, and among those whose relatives were diagnosed with cancer at <30 years of age.

description: The body of work on Translation Didactics is not well developed for the Spanish-French language combination and consequently few textbooks exist--particularly as far as professional translation didactics is concerned. Using Jean Delisle's La traduction raisonnée (1993) as a model, this Master's thesis attempts to fill this pedagogical void by presenting a method based on general and specific learning objectives which address selected translation difficulties from Spanish to French. Based on a corpus consisting of a Spanish book and its French translation by student translators, this thesis aims to systematise learning practices. The general learning objectives are classified into difficulties of lexicon, syntax, and style. The specific learning objectives present theoretical reflections with translation examples. Also included are the sources of these observations and some practical exercises, consisting of passages in which the difficulty examined is particularly salient (translating mismo, propio , false cognates, the pretérito and the verbal phrase ir + gerund, finding the mot juste and attaining concision, as well as dealing with passages presenting difficulties with an implicit subject, the possessive adjective su , complex sentences and unclear source text, repetition, indirect speech and multilingualism). The macrotextual dimensions of translation are also highlighted, particularly through the relations between macrotext and fixed expressions.

description: Die Länge der Pflichtzeit in stationärer Innere Medizin im Rahmen der Facharztweiterbildung Allgemeinmedizin ist umstritten. Vor dem Hintergrund der stärkeren Kompetenzorientierung der Facharztweiterbildung, fand auf dem Kongress der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Allgemeinmedizin (DEGAM) in München einen Workshop mit der Frage wieviel stationäre Innere Medizin angehende Hausärzte benötigen und welche Kompetenzen in der stationären inneren Medizin erlangt werden sollen statt. In dem Workshop wurden als zentrale Kompetenzen Kennen und Erkennen von Krankheiten und Befunden, technische Fertigkeiten, Notfallmanagement und die Kenntnis stationären Arbeitens zusammengetragen. Welche Kompetenzen nur in der stationären Versorgung erlangt werden können und wieviel Zeit dafür notwendig ist, war umstritten. Notwendig erscheint vielmehr eine Individualisierung der Weiterbildung entsprechend der Bedürfnisse der einzelnen Ärzte in Weiterbildung und der Patienten.

description: This paper describes a new publicly available codebase for modeling galaxy formation in a cosmological context, the "Semi-Analytic Galaxy Evolution" model, or sage for short.5 sage is a significant update to the 2006 model of Croton et al. and has been rebuilt to be modular and customizable. The model will run on any N-body simulation whose trees are organized in a supported format and contain a minimum set of basic halo properties. In this work, we present the baryonic prescriptions implemented in sage to describe the formation and evolution of galaxies, and their calibration for three N-body simulations: Millennium, Bolshoi, and GiggleZ. Updated physics include the following: gas accretion, ejection due to feedback, and reincorporation via the galactic fountain; a new gas cooling-radio mode active galactic nucleus (AGN) heating cycle; AGN feedback in the quasar mode; a new treatment of gas in satellite galaxies; and galaxy mergers, disruption, and the build-up of intra-cluster stars. Throughout, we show the results of a common default parameterization on each simulation, with a focus on the local galaxy population.

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of Arabic-speaking mothers views on the usefulness of existing oral health education leaflets aimed at young children and also to record their views on the tailored versions of these leaflets. Methods: This qualitative study was nested within a large ongoing birth cohort study in South Western Sydney, Australia. Arabic-speaking mothers (n = 19) with young children were purposively selected and approached for a semi-structured interview. Two original English leaflets giving advice on young children’s oral health were sent to mother’s prior to the interview. On the day of interview, mothers were given simplified-English and Arabic versions of both the leaflets and were asked to compare the three versions. Interviews were audio-recorded, subsequently transcribed verbatim and analysed by thematic analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from Human Research Ethics Committees of the former Sydney South West Area Health Service, University of Sydney and Western Sydney University. Results: Mothers reported that simplified English together with the Arabic version of the leaflets were useful sources of information. Although many mothers favoured the simplified version over original English leaflets, the majority favoured the leaflets in Arabic. Ideally, a “dual Arabic - simplified English leaflet” was preferred. The understanding of key health messages was optimised through a simple layout and visual images. Conclusions: There is a need to tailor oral health education leaflets for Arabic-speaking migrants. Producers of dental leaflets should also consider a “dual Arabic – simplified English leaflet” to improve oral health knowledge of Arabic-speaking migrants. The use of simple layout and pictures assists Arabic-speaking migrants to understand the content of dental leaflets.

description: The static and dynamic characteristics of homogeneous rectangular plates and rectangular sandwich plates are studied by the finite element method using a 8-node isoparametric rectangular element. A computer code utilizing the finite element method is developed to generate solutions for the static and dynamic analysis of homogeneous plates and sandwich plates for conditions of plane stress, plane strain, bending, and combined stress and bending for small deformation problems only. However, in this work, the scope is limited to bending problems only. Further, only the values for the center deflection are generated, in the static analysis, even though the code has the capability to generate the various stress components. In the dynamic analysis, the natural frequency and the associated mode shapes are determined. The boundary conditions are taken as free, simply supported, clamped edge constraints and their combinations. Uniformly distributed loads, concentrated loads or a combination of both can be applied. This study concentrates on free vibration problems in the case of the dynamic analysis. The effect of considering non-uniform shear distribution in the core of the sandwich plate is studied for both the static and dynamic analysis. The impact of considering two different orders of numerical integration is also studied. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

description: Introduction
description: Third molar extractions are a routine procedure performed by dentists and oral surgeons. The American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery recommends that unerupted third molars be evaluated for extraction to prevent future complications, although multiple systematic literature reviews have not found sufficient evidence to support clinical benefit from prophylactic extraction of third molars over no treatment. Considering conflicting evidence and guidance, we aimed to observe and characterize the real-world trends in third molar extraction at The University of Iowa College of Dentistry.
description: Materials and Methods
description: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 21,616 patients and 69,171 extracted third molars. Using six types of extraction codes commonly associated with third molar extractions (D7140, D7210, D7220, D7230, D7240, D7241), we were able to relate patient variables and clinical presentation (fully erupted, soft tissue impacted, etc.) with age, gender, and arch location (maxillary vs. mandibular). As the data was collected over a 16-year span, we were also able to analyze changes in trends over that time period.
description: Results
description: Most patients (61.4%) had all four third molars removed, and the majority (71%) of the extracted third molars were impacted. Mandibular third molars were more likely to be impacted. The removal of impacted third molars was seen more frequently in young patients and female patients.

description: Computational protein design, ab initio protein/RNA folding, and protein-ligand screening can be too computationally demanding for explicit treatment of solvent. For these applications, implicit solvent offers a compelling alternative. Here, a family of implicit solvents for the polarizable atomic multipole AMOEBA force field are described based on three treatments of continuum electrostatics: numerical solutions to the nonlinear and linearized versions the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE), the domain-decomposition Conductor-like Screening Model (ddCOSMO) approximation to the PBE, and the analytic generalized Kirkwood (GK) approximation. The continuum electrostatic models are combined with a nonpolar estimator based on novel cavitation and dispersion terms. Initial electrostatic model parameters are numerically optimized using a least squares style target function based on a library of 103 small molecule solvation free energy differences. Mean signed errors for the APBS, ddCOSMO, and GK models are 0.05, 0.00, and 0.00 kcal/mol, respectively, while the mean unsigned errors are 0.70, 0.63, and 0.58 kcal/mol, respectively. Validation of the electrostatic response of the resulting implicit solvents, which are available in the Tinker (or Tinker-HP), OpenMM, and Force Field X software packages, is based on comparisons to explicit solvent simulations for a series of proteins and nucleic acids. While the small molecule models were developed based on computing effective radii using an integral over van der Waals volume, using an integral over molecular volume is preferable for biomolecules. Three modifications to the AMOEBA/GK implicit solvent to extend the model for use with proteins and nucleic acids are described. These include – using element-specific HCT overlap scale factors for pairwise descreening, the addition of a neck correction to account for interstitial space volumes between nearby atoms, and finally a tanh correction to account for more distal interstitial spaces. The non-polar model described for small molecules is also extended to biomolecules, which includes a cavitation term based on GaussVol and a Weeks-Chandler-Anderson (WCA) dispersion term. The updated implicit solvent model was tested with over 7 µs of MD simulation using a varied set of nucleic acids and proteins. Tested molecules were generally stable across production trajectories, with average RMSDs of 2.0-5.0 Å for RNA, 4.0-6.0 Å for DNA, and 1.0-4.0 Å for proteins. This AMOEBA/GK model is implemented in both Force Field X and OpenMM, and is being ported to Tinker. Overall, the emergence of performative implicit solvent models for polarizable force fields will open the door to their use for folding and design applications.

description: After the waterflood (secondary oil recovery) various techniques known under the generic name of Improved Oil Recovery (IOR) processes are employed to achieve the ultimate goal-increase of recovery of oil. Among IOR processes, alkaline flood is viewed as one of the most promising methods due to its ability to dramatically decrease the interfacial tension between the aqueous phase (alkaline solution) and oil which, in turn, causes a better mobilization of oil from the reservoir to be achieved. This study was made in continuation of other studies performed in Chemical Engineering Department of University of Ottawa. Its aim was to obtain additional information regarding the process of immiscible displacement of oil by water in a cell containing an unconsolidated porous medium, namely sand. Gathering more information in this vast field of research is an important factor that leads to a better understanding of the complex phenomena involved in the process of oil recovery. Throughout this study, distilled water and sodium hydroxide solutions with a concentration of 25 mM were used as the displacing fluids and light paraffin oil both pure and doped with 10 mM linoleic acid was used as the displaced fluid. The cell used to perform the displacement was built from glass plates and contained 53 mesh silica sand inside, allowing pictures of the moving interface between the oil and aqueous phase to be taken during the displacements. Flow rates of displacing fluid ranging between 100 cm$\sp3$/h and 400 cm$\sp3$/h, were used covering the three domains, i.e. capillary, intermediate and viscous. The results of the displacements showed a strong dependency of breakthrough recovery on flow rate (its decrease with the increase of the flow rate) and on interfacial tension between the two immiscible phases (decrease of recovery in order neutral oil $>$ acidic oil $>$ alkaline displacements).

description: 3.1 Antithamnion hubbsii E.Y. Dawson 1962
 The filamentous Antithamnion hubbsii is a Ceramiaceae originating from the Pacific Ocean. This species has been the subject of nomenclatural and typification problems and the type locality is still discussed between Japan and Baja California, Mexico (Athanasiadis 2016; Cho et al. 2005). In Europe, A. hubbsii was first found in the Mediterranean Sea in 1988 in the Thau Lagoon, France, as Antithamnion nipponicum Yamada et Inagaki, and then in 1994 in Venice Lagoon, Italy, as A. pectinatum (Montagne) Brauner in Athanasiadis et Tittley (Curiel et al. 1996). It was probably introduced via oysters transfers, as already reported for many seaweed species in both lagoons (Sfriso and Curiel 2007; Verlaque 2001). It was then reported as A. nipponicum in the Atlantic Ocean, firstly in 2004 in the South Basque country (Secilla et al. 2007), and secondly in 2007 in Norway (Rueness et al. 2007). The first specimen on the coasts of France was found in 2011 in the North Basque country, probably arriving via marginal colonization (Bárbara and DÍaz-Tapia 2012). Its finding on pontoons in the Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany in 2017 (Le Roux 2018), then in the marinas of Brest in 2018, of Bénodet and Concarneau in 2020 and of Perros-Guirec in 2022 (this study), rather suggests a mode of propagation via maritime traffic. Fouling has also been suspected to explain the progression of the species in the English Channel and its probable spread northward (Baldock 2020). Specimens sampled during this study were only found attached to floating pontoons mainly during spring and summer, or epiphytic on various red macroalgae, Fucus spp. and Ulva spp. Like other Antithamnion species, thalli of A. hubbsii are characterized by uniseriate, ecorticate filaments with typical opposite ramifications and secondary ramification (Figure 3c). The larger specimens were up to 2.5 cm high (Figure 3a), but usually around 1 cm (Figure 3b). Specimens grow characteristic refringent glandular cells on basal cells of the lateral branches (Figure 3e). Fertile thalli were observed in the Marina of Brest, developing tetrasporangia replacing adaxial branchlets (55–70 µm × 40–55 µm, Figure 3d). As it can be easily confused with other Antithamnion spp., a diagram of the branching patterns of the five Antithamnion species is shown in Figure 4.
