description: Introduction: Depression constitutes a fundamental problem for society and understanding its aetiology is of unequivocal importance. Seminal theories implicated low perceived control, low desire for control and variations in personality factors in the manifestation of depression. This study, however, is the first to examine the mediating roles of both desire for control and perceived control in the relationship between personality and depressive symptomology. Methods: A sample of 350 participants, ranging from 18 to 67 years of age (M = 22.8, SD = 9.0), were recruited through Durham University’s social media pages. Participants completed the Revised NEO Personality Inventory, the Spheres of Control Scale, the Desire for Control Scale and Beck’s Depression Inventory. Results: Path analysis using Maximum-Likelihood Method indicated that desire for control and perceived control serially mediated the effect of extraversion, conscientiousness and agreeableness on depressive symptomology, with only neuroticism maintaining a direct effect. Extraversion and conscientiousness increased desire for control, whereas agreeableness diminished desire for control. Greater desire for control subsequently elevated perceived control, manifesting reductions in depressive symptomology. Discussion: This study provides novel evidence that desire for control and perceived control mediate the relationship between personality and depressive symptoms. The clinical implications are discussed, evaluating the potential efficacy of therapies that bolster desire for control.

description: Two cis-dioxovanadium(V) complexes and three monooxovanadium(V) complexes with different coordination numbers and ligand spheres, serving as model complexes for vanadium haloperoxidases, were studied by ⁵¹V solid-state NMR spectroscopy. The most important ⁵¹V solidstate NMR parameters (quadrupolar coupling constant CQ, asymmetry of the EFG tensor ηQ, isotropic chemical shift δiso, chemical shift anisotropy δσ, asymmetry of the CSA tensor ησ and the Euler angles α, β and γ) describing the quadrupolar and chemical shift anisotropy interactions were determined theoretically with DFT methods employing the B3LYP functional and experimentally using genetic fitting algorithms. Calculations of δiso values were treated with different referencing values of VOCl₃ computed with different-sized basis sets using the "counterpoise method". The calculated CQ values were discussed in terms of the quadrupolar moment Q. Absolute tensor orientations of CSA and EFG tensors were computed by DFT. These orientations were found to correlate to structural features of the model complexes.

description: Quality of Life Inventory is a measuring tool to reveal the quality of life that has adequate psychometric properties in the United States. The research aims to investigate the QOLI structure model with a sample of Indonesian society. The results showed that the Indonesian sample (n = 697) showed a lower quality of life than the US-based standardization sample. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis shows that the three-factor model incorporates the construct of the fit model for Indonesian society. QOLI three-factor model consisting of personal growth (play, helping, spiritual, learning and creativity), social functioning (friends, family, neighborhood, community and relative) and self-functioning (health, self-esteem, financial, home, work and love). Psychometric properties show adequate results in accordance with Frisch's findings. In conclusion, this study shows that QOLI can be used in the Indonesian context. Recommendations for future studies can test QOLI in clinical samples from a three-factor model.

description: Offshore structures are continuously exposed to extremely varying aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads. The storm waves and breaking waves may cause significant impact on coastal and offshore structures such as vertical sea wall, wind turbines, LNG carriers and submarine pipelines etc. The prediction of the breaking wave impact pressure is the important aspect in the design of those structures. The breaking wave forces produce the highest hydrodynamic loads on substructures in shallow water, predominantly plunging breaking waves. Owing to the complex and transient nature of the impact forces it requires more details concerning the physics of breaking waves and nature of wave interaction with those structures. In this paper, A piston-type wave generator was incorporated in thecomputational domain to generate waves. Flow 3D was used for simulating 3D numerical wave tank. The desired breaking waves are simulated using the concept of wave focusing using Flow 3D solver. These waves are made to impinge on the elastic circular cylinders of different materials such as PVC, timber and concrete by varying the support conditions such as cantilever, both ends fixed, inclined support with 30º inclination. The hydrodynamic response and the structural response are analysed and validated with the experimental literatures. The maximum impact pressure transpired on the cylinder due to plunging wave impact from numerical simulation is found to be eight times of the non-breaking waves.

description: Background: The literature shows that mathematical achievement can be influenced by affective factors, metacognitive abilities, and personality traits. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between mathematical achievement, mathematical anxiety, perfectionism, and metacognitive abilities in a sample of secondary school students. Method: The sample was composed of 272 students of secondary school, 43.8% males, and 56.3%, with an average age of 12.08 (SD=.89). The Evaluate Metacognition, Negative Attitudes, and Mathematics Anxiety, and the Almost Perfect Scale were administered, while the data on academic performance in mathematics was based on the average scores earned on written tests across all participants during the current school year. Correlational and path analyses were performed. Results: The results showed significant correlations between the variables investigated. Furthermore, mathematics achievement was positively predicted by control in performing, mathematics attitudes, beliefs related to mathematics, and adaptive perfectionism, while it was negatively predicted by math anxiety, and maladaptive perfectionism. Conclusion: This study has important educational implications for teachers as it highlights the role of metacognitive, affective, and personality factors in the learning and achievement of mathematics.

description: Context: Hickson Compact Groups (HCGs) are dense gravitationally-bound collections of 4-10 galaxies ideal for studying gas and star formation quenching processes. Aims: We aim to understand the transition of HCGs from possessing complex HI tidal structures (so-called phase 2 groups) to a phase where galaxies have lost most or all their HI (phase 3). We also seek to detect diffuse H i gas that was previously missed by the Very Large Array (VLA). Methods: We observed three phase 2 and three phase 3 HCGs with MeerKAT and reduced the data using the Containerized Automated Radio Astronomy Calibration (CARACal) pipeline. We produced data cubes, moment maps, integrated spectra, and compared our findings with previous VLA and Green Bank Telescope (GBT) observations. Results: Compared with previous VLA observations, MeerKAT reveals much more extended tidal features in phase 2 and some new high surface brightness features in phase 3 groups. However, no diffuse HI component was found in phase 3 groups. We also detected many surrounding galaxies for both phase 2 and phase 3 groups, most of which are normal disk galaxies. Conclusions: The difference between phase 2 and phase 3 groups is still substantial, supporting previous findings that the transition between the two phases must be abrupt.

Time of Wisdom and time for Wisdom. The role of time perspective on wisdom in old age
Creators: name: Zambianchi, Manuela
Publisher: name: Mediterranean Journal of Clinical Psychology
Year: 2020
Subjects: Wisdom; Time perspective; Positive aging.

description: Introduction: Wisdom was defined as a deep knowledge about the most relevant questions of life. Other theoretical perspectives maintain that wisdom is related also to the development of post-formal dialectical thinking and to the ability in managing the uncertainty of the future. Several studies have shown that wisdom is related to high level of psychological well-being in old age. This study explored the relationships between wisdom and time perspective in the third and fourth age, after controlling for age, gender and level of education as structural variables. Method: 155 subjects (m. age: 68.69; 67% females and 33% males) filled in the WITHAQ questionnaire (Moraitou Efklides, 2013) and the S-ZTPI questionnaire (Carelli et al., 2011). Results: Positive correlations emerged between wisdom as post-formal thinking and future positive, negative correlation with present fatalistic. Wisdom as pragmatics of life is positively correlated with past positive and future positive, while wisdom as awareness of future uncertainty show positive correlations with past negative and past positive, future negative and future positive. Three hierarchical regression model that posited each of them a dimension of wisdom as dependent variable highlights time perspective as significant, positive contributor to them. Conclusions: The study highlights the relevance of time perspective for wisdom, opening new interesting paths of both research and interventions aimed at a better comprehension of the mechanisms that link the cognitive and affective relation with time in old age with the unfolding of wisdom in its specific dimensions and at translating these results into concrete therapeutic interventions.

description: The solutional origin of limestone caves was recognized over a century ago, but the short penetration length of an undersaturated solution made it seem impossible for long conduits to develop. This is contradicted by field observations, where extended conduits, sometimes several kilometers long, are found in karst environments. However, a sharp drop in the dissolution rate of CaCO_3 near saturation provides a mechanism for much deeper penetration of reactant. The notion of a "kinetic trigger" - a sudden change in rate constant over a narrow concentration range - has become a widely accepted paradigm in speleogenesis modeling. However, it is based on one-dimensional models for the fluid and solute transport inside the fracture, assuming that the dissolution front is planar in the direction perpendicular to the flow. Here we show that this assumption is incorrect; a planar dissolution front in an entirely uniform fracture is unstable to infinitesimal perturbations and inevitably breaks up into highly localized regions of dissolution. This provides an alternative mechanism for cave formation, even in the absence of a kinetic trigger. Our results suggest that there is an inherent wavelength to the erosion pattern in dissolving fractures, which depends on the reaction rate and flow rate, but is independent of the initial roughness. In contrast to one-dimensional models, two-dimensional simulations indicate that there is only a weak dependence of the breakthrough time on kinetic order; localization of the flow tends to keep the undersaturation in the dissolution front above the threshold for non-linear kinetics.

description: In this paper a possible explanation for an unexpected ortho.para-water ratio in the gas clouds of comets is given. The description is based on the quantum-mechanical density matrix formalism and the spin temperature concept. Only the nuclear spin system is treated quantum-mechanically. Employing the model of a four spin system, created by two nearest neighbour water molecules, spin eigenstates and their dynamics under the influence of their mutual dipolar interactions are studied. It is shown that a fast conversion between ortho- and para-states occurs on a msec time scale, caused by the intermolecular homonuclear magnetic dipolar interaction. Moreover the spin eigenstates of water in an ice crystal are determined by magnetic dipolar interactions and are not given by normal ortho- and para-H₂O states of gaseous water. As a result of this the spin temperature of gaseous water evaporated from ice depends strongly on its evaporation history and the ortho.para-ratio of water molecules are only an indirect measure of the temperature of ice crystals from where they descend. This result could explain the unexpected experimentally observed ortho.para-ratios in the clouds of comets.

description: Anxiety related to medical procedures is pervasive, in particular for those involving needles and blood, such as injections and blood donations. Therefore, assessment and detection of anxiety before and during these procedures is critical for developing timely interventions for the at-risk population, and thereby increasing the panel of potential blood donors. The Injection Phobia Scale-Anxiety (IPS-Anx) was an 18 item questionnaire for estimating anxiety related to blood and needles; however, it had never been used among blood donors. The measures were translated and tested during a pre-pilot phase (Study 1). During Study 2 (n = 344) and 3 (n = 370), the model of measurement of IPS-IT-Anx was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Test-retest stability, convergent validity, and reliability of measures were assessed during Study 4 (n = 243). Finally, the scores from participants in the different studies were pooled (Study 5; n = 957) in order to test whether the factor structure showed multigroup invariance, and to evaluate whether IPS-IT-Anx scores were associated with blood donation. The overall results of the statistical analysis supported a 12-item measurement model comprising the two original dimensions, distal and contact fear, of the IPS-IT-Anx. The findings of the study supported IPS-IT-Anx, suggesting it had excellent psychometric properties and was suitability for each clinical research uses focused on the assessment of blood-injection anxiety.

description: We prove strong clustering of k-point correlation functions of zeroes of Gaussian Entire Functions. In the course of the proof, we also obtain universal local bounds for k-point functions of zeroes of arbitrary nondegenerate Gaussian analytic functions. In the second part of the paper, we show that strong clustering yields the asymptotic normality of fluctuations of some linear statistics of zeroes of Gaussian Entire Functions, in particular, of the number of zeroes in measurable domains of large area. This complements our recent results from the paper "Fluctuations in random complex zeroes" (arXiv:1003.4251v1).

description: Background: The current study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Adverse Childhood Experiences – International Questionnaire (ACE-IQ) with individuals engaging in non-suicidal self-injury. Numerous studies have supported the association of adverse childhood experiences with non-suicidal self-injury. However, the majority of the measures used were limited to basic forms of abuse and neglect, indicating a need for the use of a more inclusive measure, such as the ACE-IQ. The psychometric properties of the measure though have only been briefly investigated with other populations, suggesting that a more thorough examination might be beneficial before its use. Method: Two hundred eighty-four adult participants (77.5% females) with a mean age of 23.4 (SD=5.7) were recruited online via specific self-harm groups on social media platforms. Participants were asked to complete an online survey consisting of three self-report measures regarding early childhood experiences and engagement in non-suicidal self-injury. Results: The findings of this study supported ACE-IQ’s reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.854), convergent validity (r= 0.85, p0.001 with the CTQ-SF), predictive validity (R2 = 0.12, p=0.001 of the SHI total score) and discriminant validity (F-value = 13.90, p0.001). An exploration of the factor structure demonstrated a 5-factor solution (physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, exposure to violence, family environment). Conclusions: It was concluded that ACE-IQ is a reliable and valid measure to be used for research or clinical purposes with individuals engaging in non-suicidal self-injury, although further research is needed on its factor structure. Research and clinical implications are discussed.

Molecular dynamics simulation on the mobilization of deposited nanoparticles by a moving interface
Creators: name: Yin, Tianya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: It is now generally accepted that aside from liquid and gaseous phases, the solid phase is also responsible for contaminant transport in subsurface media. Understanding the mobilization of colloidal particles induced by moving interfaces is relevant to contaminant spreading and water purification in the subsurface. The transport and fate of particles in the presence of dynamic interfaces, present in the unsaturated subsurface or vadose zone, is one of the considerable uncertainties in predicting particulate mobilization. Although forces and torques are relatively well characterized for a particle at an interface near thermodynamic equilibrium, non-equilibrium effects due to moving interfaces and contact lines on the re-mobilization of a colloidal particle deposited on a solid surface remain not entirely understood. A better understanding of the mechanisms driving the transport of particulates in unsaturated porous media would contribute to the design of water purification processes and the management of contamination risk.Using molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the transport and fate of a nanoparticle deposited on a solid surface as a liquid-liquid interface moves past it, depending on the wetting of the solid by the two liquids and the magnitude of the driving force. The particle, the wall, and the fluids are all modeled as atomic systems, where the wetting properties of fluids are determined by the interactions between liquid and solid atoms. We explore how the interfacial transient dynamics alters the equilibrium deposition of particles to a solid surface by a moving fluid-fluid interface in parallel plates channel by looking into the driving force and static contact angles. The deposited particle interacts with two types of interfaces: an advancing interface where the wetting fluid replaces the non-wetting fluid and a receding interface that the non-wetting fluid invades the wetting one. Theoretically, for a static force balance model, when the vertical upward net force is positive, lifting of colloid from the solid substrate can be observed, otherwise, particle remains attached to the substrate or sliding along the substrate occurs based on the horizontal forces. In this work, particle interfacial pinning is observed at sufficiently small values driving forces that below a critical value predicted by a static force balance. Above the critical driving force for pinning and for large contact angle value

description: Suicidal behavior in youth is a multi-causal phenomenon and a global public health problem. Studies to identify risk factors have increased in recent decades, however, studies rarely examine the combined and mediating effect of multiple psychosocial and clinical factors in predicting suicidal risk in college students. This study aims to analyze the psychosocial risk factors and clinical predictors associated directly and indirectly with suicide risk in Colombian university students. 786 students between the ages of 16 and 30 (M=22.34 years; SD=4.7) from the Luis Amigó Catholic University (Colombia) participated. 72% were women and 28% men. An ad hoc socio-demographic card was used with information about the history of attempted suicide (SAS), mental disorder (HMI) and family suicide attempts (SAF). Plutchik's Suicide Risk Scale (SR), Hopelessness Scale (BHS), Beck's Anxiety Scale (BAI) and Depression Scale (BDI) and Barratt's Impulsivity Scale (BIS) were used. It was found that 22% of the college students were at risk of suicide and 9.7% had attempted suicide in the past year. Significant (p0.01) and positive correlations were found between SR, SAS, HMI, SAF, BHS, BAI, BDI and BIS. Binary regression analysis showed that depression (OR=1.2) anxiety (OR=1), impulsivity (OR=1.1), suicide attempts (OR=70), mental disorder and family suicide attempts (OR=2.0; OR=3.8) explained between 45% and 68% of the suicide risk variance. The structural equation model showed that impulsivity and suicide attempt are mediating variables for suicide risk. The totality of independent variables explained 65% of suicidal risk. These findings will help to orient the design of clinical strategies for the detection, prevention and intervention of suicidal risk in university contexts.

This result could explain the unexpected experimentally observed ortho/para-ratios in the clouds of comets.

description: Hintergrund Während der Corona Virus Disease-2019(COVID-19)-Pandemie sind gehäuft Ausbrüche in stationären Pflege- und Betreuungseinrichtungen zu beobachten, die die ambulanten Strukturen überfordern und zu einer rettungsdienstlichen Großschadenslage aufwachsen. Standardisierte einsatztaktische Vorgaben wie für den Massenanfall von Verletzten (MANV) fehlen. Methoden Anhand eines konkreten Fallberichts und der Literatur stellen die Autoren eine Managementstrategie für den Massenanfall von Erkrankten bzw. Infizierten (MANE/MANI) während der Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus‑2(SARS-CoV‑2)-Pandemie vor und grenzen diese zur MANV-Einsatztaktik ab. Ergebnisse Das Vorgehen bei MANI lässt sich in 3 Phasen einteilen und beginnt mit der akuten Gefahrenabwehr mit Sichtung, Stabilisierung kritischer Patienten und Transport der hospitalisierungspflichtigen Patienten. In Phase 2 werden die Betriebsbereitschaft der Einrichtung gesichert oder die Bewohner anderweitig untergebracht, falls das Personal in relevantem Ausmaß infiziert oder in Quarantäne ist. Die 3. Phase markiert die Rückkehr zum Regelbetrieb. Diskussion Phase 1 orientiert sich an MANV-Grundsätzen, Phase 2 am Krankenhauskrisenmanagement. Die Vermeidung einer Evakuierung der Bewohner zur Entlastung der Krankenhäuser stellt dabei ein wichtiges Einsatzziel dar. Mangelnde Einsatz- und Übungspraxis mit derartigen Lagen, die begrenzte Anwendbarkeit von etablierten Vorsichtungsalgorithmen sowie der hohe Koordinationsbedarf stellen die Führungskräfte vor Herausforderungen. Schlussfolgerung Das vorgestellte Phasenmodell stellt einen praktikablen, ganzheitlichen Ansatz zum erweiterten notfallmedizinischen Management von MANI-Einsatzlagen dar.

description: There are several theoretical indications that the energy region covered by the proposed NICA accelerator in Dubna is an extremely interesting one. We present a review of data obtained in relativistic heavy ion collisions and show that there is a gap around 10 GeV where more and better precise measurements are needed. The theoretical interpretation can only be clarified by covering this energy region. In particular the strangeness content needs to be determined, data covering the full phase space ($4 π$) would be very helpful to establish the thermal parameters of a possible phase transition.

description: By their textual and musical dramaturgy, operatic mises en scène offer a perfect view of the conflicts inherent in human nature. The passions of Madam Butterfly - the eponymous opera of G. Puccini - foment a tragic fate that is paradigmatic of masochism and melancholy. This remarkable opera offers avenues for figuration and identification that can help inform psychoanalysts and psychotherapists in their understanding and treatment of patients with extreme psychical organisations, where neither loss and separation nor ambivalence (which links together love and hate) can be elaborated. Having recalled the bases of the dialogue between psychoanalysis and cultural productions and introduced the story of Madam Butterfly and the figures making up the narrative, the article proposes to examine the cathectic process at work. Through the many twists and turns in her story, Madam Butterfly is seen to invest in Pinkerton, irremediably sealing her fate as a young wife. The Butterfly figure is a perfect illustration of the different forms of masochism, of passiveness and the snare of melancholy. These movements highlight the intensity of the narcissistic challenges so strongly expressed through the confrontation with the loss of the object. Butterfly cannot mobilise any form of ambivalence towards Pinkerton. Only such ambivalence would, however, in the recognition of otherness, have afforded her the means to survive the admittedly painful openness to the reality of loss. She offers and abandons herself to the one who derives pleasure from breaking her butterfly wings, stubbornly refusing to turn to any other person for succour, irremediably sealing her fate for eternity.

description: Gemäß der Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (EU-DSGVO, Mai 2018) werden anonymisierte Datensätze mit ausreichend hoher Datendichte als nachverfolgbar eingestuft und benötigen eine Einwilligungserklärung, wenn diese zu Forschungs- oder Qualitätskontrollzwecken zentral ausgewertet werden. Qualitätssicherung und weitere Steigerung der Versorgungsqualität sind im Rahmen der flächendeckenden Schwerstverletztenerhebung im Sinne der Versorgungsforschung allerdings nur mit einer annähernden Vollerhebung möglich. Die über 600 deutschen Kliniken, die am TraumaRegister DGU® teilnehmen, versuchen, von diesem speziellen Patientengut die Einverständniserklärungen zu erhalten. In der Studienklinik wurden über einen 12-Monats-Zeitraum hinweg die Rate an Einwilligungen und die Gründe für eine Ablehnung bzw. Nichteinholung evaluiert. Bei Anwendung eines ressourcenintensiven Workflows speziell für die Patientenaufklärung und Einholung der TR-Einwilligungen wurden eine Zustimmungsquote der Patienten von 64,5 % und damit gleichzeitig eine Fehlquote von 35,5 % erfasst. Es konnten 98 von 276 potenziellen TraumaRegister-DGU®-Datensätzen nicht eingegeben werden und standen dementsprechend weder für die Qualitätskontrolle noch für die Polytraumaforschung zur Verfügung. Um die Qualitätskontrolle und die weitere Verbesserung der Versorgungsqualität zu gewährleisten, ist eine annähernde Gesamterfassung des Patientenguts notwendig. Diese lässt sich durch die Notwendigkeit der Einwilligungserklärung jedoch nicht erreichen, wie unsere Studie zeigt. Somit plädieren wir dafür, dass die Möglichkeit geschaffen wird, den TraumaRegister-Datensatz ohne Einwilligung zu erheben, da dieser letztlich einen Regeldatensatz darstellt, vergleichbar mit dem §21-KHEntgG-Datensatz, jedoch im Gegensatz zu diesem pseudonymisiert.

description: Background: The prevalence of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) in the Italian population of gamers is unknown. Several risk factors, including time spent playing (TSP), are proposed as an epiphenomenon of emotional dysregulation. Methods: The study estimated the prevalence of IGD in at-risk Italian online gamers, and the interplay between alexithymia and other risk factors. 5,979 responders were surveyed. IGDS-SF9 estimated pathological gaming. TAS-20 measured Difficult in Identifying (DIF) and Describing Feelings (DDF), and Externally Oriented Thinking (EOT). Results: 43% of participants had pathological IGD scores. Male gender (OR=1.2, 95% C.I.=1, 1.5, p=0.019), TSP (OR=7.6, 95% C.I.=5.5, 10.6, p0.001), DIF (OR=1.5, 95% C.I.=1.1, 2.1, p=0.003), boredom/loneliness feelings (OR=1.8, 95% C.I.=1.5, 2, p0.001), recent negative events (OR=1.1, 95% C.I.=1, 1.3, p=0.026), and a behavioral addiction (OR=2.1, 95% C.I.=1.2, 3.9, p=0.009) independently increased its risk. Conclusions: Almost one on two players joining online communities presented IGD. Some risk factors were crucial, including TSP, independently from emotional dysregulation.

Development of innovative techniques for food authentication - the last barrier to prevent food fraud

description: Food fraud was estimated to cost the global food industry $10-15 billion per year. Various traceability and risk assessment systems have been developed to deter food fraud. With rapid globalization and complex supply chain, effective product tracing and tracking and accurate vulnerability assessment have been inevitably hindered. Serving as the last barrier to ensure food authenticity, reliable techniques to identify fraudulent foods are indispensable. Traditional techniques (e.g. liquid chromatography-based assays) are usually time-consuming, labor- intensive, lack the sensitivity and/or specificity, and/or complicated. Therefore, the overall objective of my Ph.D. thesis project was to validate the feasibility of spectroscopic techniques [i.e. Raman, mid-infrared, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies] and an advanced DNA amplification method [i.e. loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP)] to detect food fraud. During my studies, an optimized protocol was developed to authenticate ground beef meat and identify and quantify the offal adulterants using mid-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometric models, providing a limit of detection (LOD) <10% w/w of offal in ground beef meat. With simple/no sample pretreatment, solution NMR spectroscopy and solid-state NMR spectroscopy were confirmed to detect 6.7 and 128.6 mg/kg Sudan I in paprika powder in <30 min, respectively. A confocal micro-Raman spectrometer and a portable Raman spectrometer were applied to identify 11 species of raw finfish purchased from seafood markets in Vancouver. The method developed using the portable Raman spectrometer exhibited promising results with a 100% accuracy in differentiating Salmonidae and non-Salmonidae, 88% accuracy in identifying four species of salmon, and 91% accuracy in separating the seven species of non-Salmonidae fish. A LAMP-based assay was developed to authenticate pure pomegranate juice from juice adulterated by apple and/or grape juice. With a novel paper-based DNA extraction device and a simple LAMP result visualization method, the overall sample-to-result analysis was completed in ~1 h with a LOD of 10~100 ng of DNA. Methods and devices developed in my studies may be used to authenticate many other food commodities and have the potential to be adopted by governmental laboratories, food industries and even consumers to rapidly authenticate food products, and thus better ensure the integrity of foods.

description: Methoxycarbonyl urea (MCU), a potential long-term nitrogen fertilizer, is studied by ¹³C and ¹⁵N dipolar chemical shift NMR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. Employing a combination of dipolar chemical shift NMR, selective isotope labeling and ab initio gas phase calculations, possible molecular structures and chemical shielding tensors of all ¹⁵N nuclei and of two out of the three ¹³C nuclei were revealed. Four possible stable configurations of the molecule with different energies were found in the calculations. The CSA tensors were calculated for these configurations. While the calculated ¹³C(urea) CSA tensor orientation of the configuration with the lowest energy is in good agreement with the experimental tensor orientation, there are pronounced differences between calculated and experimental tensor eigenvalues. These differences are a clear indication of the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the experimental sample, which are neglected in the gas phase calculations. Four different possible orientations of the experimental ¹³C(urea) CSA tensor exist, due to symmetry. This ambiguity is solved by comparison with results from GIAO calculations of the ¹³C CSA tensor, employing the minimum energy configuration (EEZ). It is found that the orientation, where δ11 points approximately in direction of N(imide), δ22 approximately in direction of the C=O bond, and δ33 is oriented perpendicular to the molecular frame, is adopted in the molecule.

description: The influence of cation exchange on the ²⁷Al-NMR spectra of NaA-zeolites has been studied by ²⁷Al-MAS- and MQ-MAS-Solid State-NMR. From the ²⁷Al-spectra a characterization of the different Al sites in the A zeolites according to their chemical environment and the structural changes on the aluminosilicate network caused by the cation exchange are obtained. It is found that the exchange with cations with smaller ion-radius cause stronger distortions of the ²⁷Al-NMR-spectra than exchange with larger cations like Ba²⁺. Employing MQ-MAS spectroscopy these distortions are revealed as second order quadrupolar effects for the smaller cations and as a combination of chemical shift and second order quadrupolar interaction for the Ba cation. These changes of the quadrupolar coupling are interpreted numerically via calculations of the lowering of the symmetry of the EFG tensor. Finally it is found that the exchange with divalent cations leads to distortions of the zeolitic framework and the formation of an extra-framework aluminum. To the best of our knowledge this is for the first time that evidence for the production of extra frame work aluminum by pure cation exchange without any thermal treatment has been found in type A zeolites.
