description: Pyrolysis oil is a mixture of water, oligomers, sugars, phenols, furans, carbonyl compounds, acids and esters, making it very unstable. The main route explored for bio-oil upgrading is the two-stage hydrotreatment. This technology has technical challenges, such as high hydrogen consumption, coke formation, high aromatic content fuel, and absence of co-products. Alternative techniques have been investigated, but there is a lack of complete biorefinery configurations. In this work, we contribute to the development of bio-oil refineries. The first part of the dissertation comprises a holistic analysis of bio-oil biorefineries. We reviewed refining technologies, bio-oil chemistry and the challenges associated with its use. Then, we used Process-graph to access new biorefineries. P-graph generated over 300 configurations, calculated total costs, and ranked the optimum pathways in terms of profit. We showed that refining of the aqueous phase represents an interesting opportunity for bio-oil industry. At our model conditions, production of levoglucosan and glycolaldehyde achieved over $23 k$/h and 10 k$/h of profit, respectively. The second part of this work focused on the challenges of converting the water insoluble fraction (WIS) into fuels. Detailed analysis of bio-oil WIS and hydrothermal liquefaction biocrude reveled that bio-oil WIS contains more oxygen in the form or carboxylic groups than the biocrude. In order to take advantage of existing infrastructure, we proposed to co-hydrotreat bio-oil WIS with vegetable oils on HEFA units. An experimental design showed that the yield of the hydrotreatment products was mainly affected by the temperature, while the yield of the distillation products increased with the hydrogen pressure and catalyst loading. Higher temperature was correlated with lower oxygen content in kerosene, therefore, we selected the highest hydrogen pressure (7MPa), catalyst load (1.3 g), and temperature (380°C) as recommended operating conditions. Compared with previous studies, the conditions herein identified increased the yield of kerosene from 11 to 23.7 wt. % and reduced the yield of coke from 8.7 to 2.7 wt. % (on feedstock basis). The resulting fuel fractions were characterized. This dissertation proposes a biorefinery concept based on the water extraction of bio-oil, and the use of its fractions to produce fuels and chemicals.

description: Important issues such as the capture of greenhouse gases, the detection of hazardous chemicals, and the storage of energy require materials with tunable properties. Coordination polymers are a type of hybrid polymeric crystalline material formed from the connection of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters through coordination bonds. The wide array of building blocks that can be used enables coordination polymers to be rationally designed and tuned to possess specific properties. Amongst coordination polymers, Metal–Organic Frameworks (MOFs) stand out due to their porosity, large internal surface areas, and diversity of structures. These features can be achieved through direct synthesis as well as through directed modification of the framework post-synthetically. The study of the structures of MOFs and how they relate to the properties of the material, such as luminescence, is important to help gain a deeper understanding and to facilitate the development of new materials with desired functionality. Luminescent MOFs are of particular interest due to their potential as selective chemical sensors. Ligand-based fluorescence is one of the most common forms of luminescence in MOFs. Ligands built from the molecule tetraphenylethene (TPE) are ideal candidates for these systems. The aggregation-induced emission properties of TPE molecules can be enhanced through rigidification within a coordination network. This work seeks to further understand how the structures of TPE MOFs relate to the properties of the framework. To accomplish this, a variety of new coordination polymers were synthesized using TPE ligands with carboxylate functionalization at the para- and meta-positions. The fluorescent properties of coordination polymers constructed from para-functionalized TPE ligands was controlled through post-synthetic insertion of additional ligands. Coordination polymers formed from meta-functionalized TPE ligands tended to form dense, non-porous structures but the properties of these materials could be controlled through mixed ligand synthesis. This approach allowed for the control of the fluorescence emission as well as the porosity of the frameworks. Through this work, a better understanding of how TPE ligands and their conformations influence the structure and properties of coordination polymers is gained, which will aid in the rational design of these types of materials.

(Figs. 47A–E, 49A–B)
Material examined. Ghana: Apkonu stream, downstream of falls, 6º 53.054 N, 0º 28.024 E, alt. 362 m asl., 21.ii.2013, Smit, 1/0/0 (mounted).
Morphology. Male. General features —Idiosoma elongated-oval; dorsal shield elongated with frontal platelets much shorter than shoulder platelets (Figs. 47A, 49A); frontal margin medially convexly rounded, between large anterolaterally pointed protrusions (Fig. 47C); Cxgl–4 located far anteriorly, near tips of Cx-I; gnathosomal bay Ushaped and moderately deep; medial margin of Cx-II/III relatively short; genital field small and roundish; suture line of Cx-IV strongly extending posteriorly beyond posterior margin of genital field, laterally curved, medially closer together (Figs. 47B, 49B); excretory pore slightly away from the line of primary sclerotization, excretory pore anterior to Vgl–2; palp: ventral seta on P-4 short (Fig. 47D).
Measurements. Idiosoma (ventral view: Figs. 47B, 49B) L 656, W 425; dorsal shield (Figs. 47A, 49A) L 548, W 366, L/W ratio 1.5; dorsal plate L 500; shoulder platelets L 161–163, W 59–63, L/W ratio 2.6–2.7; frontal platelets L 111–114, W 59–63, L/W ratio 1.8–1.9; shoulder/frontal platelets L ratio 1.43–1.45. Gnathosomal bay L 125, Cx-I total L 247, Cx-I mL 122, Cx-II+III mL 68; ratio Cx-I L/Cx-II+III mL 3.6; Cx-I mL/Cx-II+III mL 1.8. Genital field L/W 108/102–103, ratio 1.05; distance genital field-excretory pore 167, genital field-caudal idiosoma margin 231. Gnathosoma vL 149; chelicera total L 164; palp total L 142, dL/H, dL/H ratio: P-1, 21–22/18, 1.19; P- 2, 40/28, 1.44; P-3, 29/24, 1.23; P-4, 37/17, 2.18; P-5, 15/9, 1.7; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.08; dL of I-L-2–6: 53, 71, 92, 100, 101–102; I-L-6 H 40, dL/H I-L-6 ratio 2.54.
Discussion. Due to the relatively small and more roundish genital field and suture line of Cx-IV strongly extending back beyond genital field (Fig. 47B), the single male from Apkonu stream resembles Monatractides dolichosoma, a species known from several sites in Liberia (Cook 1966). The latter species is notably smaller and can easily be distinguished by a very slender idiosoma (L/W ratio 1.8, data calculated from Cook 1966). It is very likely that the specimen from Apkonu stream represent a taxon new for science. However, a final decision can be given only when larger series are available.
Remarks. The male ejaculatory complex was not found but the sclerotized framework immediately above the genital field can be visible.

description: Achnanthidium tropicocatenatum G.C.Marquardt, C.E.Wetzel & Ector (Figs 238–275)
Morphometric features:— 6.7–18.1 µm long; 2.3–3.1 µm wide; 36–42 striae in 10 µm; striae mainly composed of 4–6 areolae.
Taxonomical remarks:— Achnanthidium tropicocatenatum and A. catenatum are similar. In the protologue of the first species, many characters were taken into account to provide the differences between them (e.g. SEM, LM, geometric morphometric analysis, and ecological preferences). Nevertheless, it is possible to distinguish both taxa by the less inflated central portion, fewer capitate apices and higher stria density in A. tropicocatenatum (28–30 striae/10 µm in A. catenatum, Bílý & Marvan 1959). Also, in A. catenatum, the girdle view is distinct, with the valve being strongly curved with the apices sharply pointed. In contrast, in A. tropicocatenatum, the valve is less arched with apices slightly curved (Marquardt et al. 2017).
Marquardt et al. (2017) commented about the confusion made with two different populations in Novais et al. (2015), probably joining two different species in one taxon (A. lusitanicum in Novais et al. 2015). The first population from Janeiro de Baixo, Zêzere River (Tejo basin, Portugal), is considered the type material of the species and differs from A. tropicatenatum by its rostrate apices, or broadly rounded ones in smaller specimens.
Distribution and ecological information:— The taxon was recently described despite its presence in Brazilian literature being misidentified as A. catenatum. Indeed, in our samples, the species A. tropicocatenatum had the highest frequency of occurrence (61 %). Its ecological optimum was calculated for all habitats. The species showed an ecological preference for slightly acid to neutral (pH optimum of 6.7–6.9), low to medium cond. (optimum of 53.7–94.3 μS∙ cm-1) and mesotrophic waters (TP optimum of 19.8–37.3 μg∙L- 1 and TN optimum of 504.2–665.8 μg∙L- 1). Achnanthidium tropicocatenatum was previously described from oligotrophic conditions in São Paulo state (Marquardt et al. 2017); however, it presented greater tolerance in our study area and was identified from oligo- to eutrophic conditions.

description: Although ERAS Program had some advantages in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG), its efficacy and safety remained unclear. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and safety of the ERAS group and the traditional care (TC) group in LDG. Multiple databases were retrieved from 1 January 2000 to 30 April 2023. The risk ratio (RR), standardized mean difference (SMD) and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to estimate the results. Our meta-analysis contained 17 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studies, which comprised 1468 patients. Regarding efficacy, the ERAS group had significantly shorter postoperative time to first flatus (SMD = −1.29 [95% CI: −1.68, −0.90]), shorter time to first defecation (SMD = −1.26 [95% CI: −1.90, −0.61]), shorter hospital stays (SMD = −0.99 [95% CI: −1.34, −0.63]), and lower hospitalization costs (SMD = −1.17 [95% CI: −1.86, −0.48]) compared to the TC group. Furthermore, in the ERAS group, C-reactive protein levels were lower on postoperative days 1, 3 or 4, and 7; albumin levels were higher on postoperative days 3 or 4 and 7; and interleukin-6 levels were lower on postoperative days 1 and 3. Regarding safety, the overall postoperative complication rate was lower in the ERAS group (RR: 0.76 [95% CI: 0.60, 0.97]), but there was no significant difference in the individual postoperative complication rate. Other indicators were also not statistically significant. The combination of ERAS Program with laparoscopy surgery was safe and effective for the perioperative management of patients with distal gastric cancer.

description: The intersection of aging and digitization is a distinctive feature of this new era. While digitalization brings convenience, it also forces older people to use tools that did not exist during the most active stage of their lives. Therefore, older adults represent a primary group affected by digital exclusion. This scoping review will provide a clear definition of digital exclusion and contribute to recognizing high-risk populations and implementing effective preventive interventions. This scoping review will shed light on the following key concepts of digital exclusion in older adults: definitions, antecedents, consequences, evaluation tools, and interventions for digital exclusion.

description: Grounded in social cognitive theory and identification theory, this content analysis and survey looked further into relationships between mental health, masculine norms, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Since social cognitive theory explains that people learn through observing social situations, our content analysis was performed and confirmed masculine norms were present in the four Avengers movies. While there are six main characters in these movies, performing a content analysis solidified our idea to use only two, Thor and Tony in our survey to further identification theory. In our survey, we used three masculine norms: winning, emotional control, and self-reliance. We found significant connections between the Avengers movies and the participant in all three masculine norms. Regarding identification, only the winning masculine norm and Tony were found significant. For mental health, watching the Avengers movies, and identification with Thor or Tony did not decrease mental health stigma perceptions nor increase mental health help seeking behaviors.

description: Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is associated with increased risk for heart failure, which often initially manifests as left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). In this study, we aimed to explore the potential risk factors of LVDD in CS by incorporating body composition parameters. A retrospective study was conducted on patients diagnosed with endogenous CS no less than 18 years old. The control group consisted of healthy individuals who were matched to CS patients in terms of gender, age, and BMI. LIFEx software (version 7.3) was applied to measure epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) on non-contrast chest CT, as well as abdominal adipose tissue and skeletal muscle mass at the first lumbar vertebral level. Echocardiography was used to evaluate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Body compositions and clinical data were examined in relation to early LVDD. A total of 86 CS patients and 86 healthy controls were enrolled. EATV was significantly higher in CS patients compared to control subjects (150.33 cm3 [125.67, 189.41] vs 90.55 cm3 [66.80, 119.84], p < 0.001). CS patients had noticeably increased visceral fat but decreased skeletal muscle in comparison to their healthy counterparts. Higher prevalence of LVDD was found in CS patients based on LV diastolic function evaluated by E/A ratio (p < 0.001). EATV was proved to be an independent risk factor for LVDD in CS patients (OR = 1.015, 95%CI 1.003–1.026, p = 0.011). If the cut-point of EATV was set as 139.252 cm3 in CS patients, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of LVDD were 84.00% and 55.60%, respectively. CS was associated with marked accumulation of EAT and visceral fat, reduced skeletal muscle mass, and increased prevalence of LVDD. EATV was an independent risk factor for LVDD, suggesting the potential role of EAT in the development of LVDD in CS. This study explored the potential risk factors of LVDD in endogenous CS by incorporating body composition parameters. EATV was identified as an independent risk factor for LVDD. Targeted therapeutic interventions to reduce excessive cortisol-induced EAT accumulation may be promising to mitigate the risk of LVDD development in patients with CS.

description: In this thesis we present the requisite building blocks to study and discuss aspects of modern analytic number theory, in this case the study of automorphic forms, in particular Maass forms and their L-functions.We give an overview of and background on these notions without being overly technical.
description: Using this background we compute, using spectral theory for GL(2) and GL(3), asymptotic formulas for moments of GL(3)×GL(2) L-functions and their derivatives at the central point, twisted by GL(2) Hecke eigenvalues at primes.We use this to show that self-dual GL(3) Hecke--Maass cusp forms are uniquely determined by the central values L'(1/2, f × u_j) where u_j is a sequence of odd Hecke--Maass forms for GL(2) with large Laplacian eigenvalues.
description: We also show that infinitely many of these derivatives are nonvanishing at the central point.

General features —Idiosoma roundish; frontal platelets broad (L/W ratio 1.8), shorter than frontal platelets (shoulder/frontal platelets L ratio 1.1.–1.2); medial margin with a flat protrusion medial to the eyes (Fig. 48A); Cxgl–4 located far anteriorly, near tips of Cx-I; gnathosomal bay moderately deep, U-shaped; medial margin of Cx-II/III relatively short; genital field subrectangular; suture line of Cx-IV nearly obliterated; excretory pore away from the line of primary sclerotization and on the same level as Vgl–2; Palp: ventral seta on P-4 short (Fig. 48F); IV-L-2–5 distally swollen and with bluntly pointed sheaths covering the base of the following segment, IV-L-6 ventral and dorsal margin distally strongly diverging (Fig. 48E).
Measurements. Idiosoma (ventral view: Figs. 48C, 49D) L 589, W 447; dorsal shield (Figs. 48B, 49C) L 473, W 381, L/W ratio 1.24; dorsal plate L 413; shoulder platelets L 128–138, W 63–66, L/W ratio 2.0–2.2; frontal platelets L 112–119, W 63–66, L/W ratio 1.8; shoulder/frontal platelets L ratio 1.08–1.22. Gnathosomal bay L 112, Cx-I total L 217, Cx-I mL 105, Cx-II+III mL 58; ratio Cx-I L/Cx-II+III mL 3.7; Cx-I mL/Cx-II+III mL 1.8. Genital field L/W 109/97–98, ratio 1.12; distance genital field-excretory pore 163, genital field-caudal idiosoma margin 203. Gnathosoma vL 139; chelicera total L 150; palp total L 166, dL/H, dL/H ratio: P-1, 24/18–19, 1.29; P-2, 45/ 33, 1.37; P-3, 31/27, 1.15; P-4, 43/18, 2.37; P-5, 23/9, 2.5; P-2/P-4 ratio 1.05; dL of I-L-3–6: 62, 85, 92, 98; I-L-6 H 38–39, dL/H I-L-6 ratio 2.5.
Discussion. The combination of relatively stout dorsal shield with broad frontal platelets (Figs. 48B, 49C), a box-shaped gnathosomal bay, the relatively small genital field, the nearly obliterated suture line of Cx-IV (Figs. 48C, 49D), I-L-6 distally slightly thickened (Fig. 48D) and IV-L-2–5 thickened distally with bluntly pointed sheaths covering articulation of the following segment (Fig. 48E), easily separates the single male from Kintampo falls from all other Monatractides species from Ghana. Most probably we are dealing with an undescribed species, but since larger material is not available, a final decision can not be made.
Remarks. The male ejaculatory complex was not found but sclerotized framework immediately above the genital field can be hardly visible (Fig. 49E).

description: Magnetic order typically emerges due to the short-range exchange interaction between the constituent electronic spins. Recent discoveries have found a crucial role for spin-phonon coupling in various phenomena from optical ultrafast magnetization switching to dynamical control of the magnetic state. Here, we demonstrate theoretically the emergence of a biquadratic long-range interaction between spins mediated by their coupling to phonons hybridized with vacuum photons into polaritons. The resulting ordered state enabled by the exchange of virtual polaritons between spins is reminiscent of superconductivity mediated by the exchange of virtual phonons. The biquadratic nature of the spin-spin interaction promotes ordering without favoring ferro- or antiferromagnetism. It further makes the phase transition to magnetic order a first-order transition, unlike in conventional magnets. Consequently, a large magnetization develops abruptly on lowering the temperature which \aknew{could} enable magnetic memories admitting ultralow-power thermally-assisted writing while maintaining a high data stability. The role of photons in the phenomenon further enables an in-situ static control over the magnetism. These unique features make our predicted spin-spin interaction and magnetism highly unconventional paving the way for novel scientific and technological opportunities.

2020a Knipowitschia polonica —Schwarzhans, Brzobohatý & Radwańska: pl. 9, figs. 15–18 (and references therein).
Material 5 otoliths: 1 specimen, Kozatskyi Yar, NMB P1213; 1 specimen, Mlyntsi, NMNHU-P PI 2561; 3 specimens, Shydlivshchyna, NMNHU-P PI 2562.
Discussion Te otoliths of this species can be recognized by the high-bodied shape (OL:OH = 1.0–1.1), the pointed preventral and postdorsal projections, and the small, narrow sulcus with low ostial lobe and narrow, often indistinct subcaudal iugum. Knipowitschia polonica has been found to be relatively common in the early Badenian of Korytnica, Poland (Schwarzhans et al., 2020a), but this is the first record of this species in the late Badenian.

description: Atrioventricular block (AVB) is rare in hyperthyroidism (HTH). Little is known about the true prevalence, clinical course, optimal management, and outcomes of different types of AVBs in patients with HTH. To address these uncertainties, we aimed to conduct a systematic review by combining the available literature to provide more meaningful data regarding AVBs in HTH. We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar for articles reporting patients who developed AVB in the context of HTH. Data were analysed in STATA 16. The main outcomes included types of AVB, frequency of pacemaker insertion, and resolution of AVB. The systematic review is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) with the identification number CRD42022335598. A total of 56 studies (39 case reports, 12 case series, 3 conference abstracts, 1 retrospective study, and 1 prospective observational study) with 87 patients were included in the analysis, with a mean age of 39.1 ± 17.6 years. Females constituted 65.7% (n = 48) of the cohort. Complete heart block (CHB) was the most commonly reported AVB (N = 45, 51.7%), followed by first-degree AVB (16.1%) and second-degree AVB (14.9%). Overall, 21 patients underwent pacing. A permanent pacemaker was inserted in one patient with second-degree AVB and six patients with CHB. Mortality was reported in one patient with CHB. The clinical course and management of HTH and AVBs did not differ in patients with CHB or lower-degree blocks. Apart from lower rates of goitre and more use of carbimazole in those who underwent pacing, no differences were found when compared to the patients managed without pacing. Current data suggest that CHB is the most common type of AVB in patients with HTH. Most patients can be managed with anti-thyroid management alone. Additionally, whether pacemaker insertion alters the clinical outcomes needs further exploration.

description: Citizenship and civic education cover the different processes and activities that influence people’s commitments, values, beliefs, actions, and capabilities as members of particular communities. It is evident that there is a significant gap between rhetoric and practice in school curriculum in Palestine, Jordan, and the U.S. Considering the crucial role and possible effects of textbooks on constructing learners’ views and self-identity. The purpose of this study is to identify the particular discourses at work as manifested in citizenship and civic education textbooks through which social actors are represented in the texts under study and reveal the possible hidden discursive structures.
description: The data under study include a selection of similar chapters across the Palestinian, Jordanian, and American contexts. Texts under investigation are the eight-grade Palestinian official ministry of education civic education textbook, the official ministry of education Jordanian civic/citizenship textbook, and Washington State civics textbook titled The State We’re In: Washington which is the first civics text to include tribal government and history. The study draws on the work of Norman Fairclough’s (1995) framework, which utilizes a dialectical relational approach, in a systematic way.
description: The findings demonstrated that the textbooks nearly completely use gender-masculine terminology and conjugation to allude to citizens doing civic tasks at school, work, in the military, and elsewhere. The textbooks occasionally refer to gender-neutral social actors but frequently use masculine pronouns. The findings uncovered that social actors’ representations in the textbooks are critically lacking, especially in comparison to dominant representations and narratives of men. Using both visual analysis and critical discourse analysis together, I highlighted instances where gender representation is woefully inadequate and in need of development.
description: This study is an endeavor to clarify through describing, interpreting, and analyzing problematic discourses that impede and limit understanding and implementation of existing civic education in different sociocultural and historical environments. This study endeavors to expose and disrupt the existing status quos to recognize the oppressive sociocultural paradigms embedded in civic education curricula in Palestine, Jordan, and the U.S.

description: Work engagement is a relatively new construct in the academic field, only emerging in the last three decades, capturing the interest of both researchers and practitioners. It is a motivational construct viewed as an essential aspect of work with significant implications for individuals and organizations. Empirical research suggests that engaged employees drive positive organizational outcomes, including higher profit, performance, productivity, organizational commitment, and reduced turnover and absenteeism. Given the positive results associated with the construct, employees' efforts to increase work engagement have become a popular corporate strategy. However, several issues necessary for an adequate understanding of work engagement research remain unresolved. Several scholars have called for more rigorous empirical research to better understand work engagement's antecedents and processes. Guided by the Job-Demands-Resources Model and Self-Determination Theory, this study examines the effects of three job resources on work engagement. Specifically, the study contributes to the understanding of work engagement by exploring the implications of perceived autonomy support, provision of wellness programs, and incentives and rewards within the work domain mediated by the role of basic psychological need for satisfaction at work (i.e., the need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness).
description: A sample consisting of 231 Washington State University Human Development alumni participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the data. In support of expectations, perceived autonomy support had a significant and positive association with work engagement. The CFA model (where the correlations between the job resources were constrained to be equal) used to determine which job resources were more important than others revealed perceived autonomy support was more strongly associated with work engagement. Overall, the findings contribute to the current understanding of work engagement by highlighting the role and relevance of job resources in work environments. Furthermore, exploring the mediation analysis deepens our understanding of work engagement and provides a better basis for identifying a range of prevention/intervention programs. Research/practical implications, future research opportunities, and study limitations are discussed.

description: This dissertation aims to explore potentially useful approaches for using some technology tools that may increase college persistence and career advancement for more than 5 million multilingual learners (MLLs) in the U.S. This includes technologies that can support academic learning and achievement both within and outside the classroom, such as computer-assisted pronunciation training (CAPT) and mobile phone-based pulse checks. Leveraging theoretical frameworks of sensory-based input instruction developed by Dr. Stephen Krashen and Dr. Olusola Adesope and frameworks of self-regulated learning advanced by Dr. Barry Zimmerman and Dr. Philip Winne, this dissertation links three academic works that explore some important language-learning topics to support MLLs’ post-secondary education, and how some tech-based interventions have shown effectiveness in promoting their classroom engagement, self-regulating learning, and college persistence. Some important research findings from this dissertation include the importance of using technologies that can convey visual and multisensory academic context and content and provide lesson plan clarity to MLLs, while also allowing them to receive coaching guidance and social support that may increase their motivation and foster self-regulating learning behaviors. These findings may provide educators and policymakers with valuable insights on how some technologies such as CAPT and pulse checks could be used more effectively to support the unique academic needs of MLLs and help to raise awareness of other learning supports beyond subject-matter scaffolding, such as coaching guidance and social support, that may increase their college persistence and academic advancement.
