description: In this work, a series of gold nanoparticles deposited on α-FeOOH nanorods were studied in relation to their performance in the low-temperature oxidation of CO. The catalysts were characterised by different techniques such as, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2 adsorption/desorption, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction (H2-TPR) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) images. The XRD proved the formation of α-FeOOH crystalline structure and also showed small diffraction peaks for Au-agglomerated particles on the surface. While TEM images revealed the formation of α-FeOOH with nanorod structure with different dimensions, TEM also showed some agglomerations of Au particles on the support surface. The H2-TPR experiments the enhancement of Au/α-FeOOH reducibility. The performance of Au/α-FeOOH in the CO oxidation was greatly affected by Au content and α-FeOOH preparation method.

description: Adequate diet does not involve the quantity of food consumed alone; quality and variety also play a role. This study investigated the interplay between dietary habits and sociodemographic characteristics of pregnant women. A cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 239 pregnant women were enrolled, and a questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic information, medical and obstetric history, anti-malaria drug use, and insecticide-treated net (ITN) use. A combination of a food frequency questionnaire and 24-hour dietary recall was used to assess dietary habits. (53.6%) pregnant women were aged 20 to 25 years (89.6%) belonging to the Hausa ethnic group, (99.6%) of whom were married. (59.1%) had completed secondary education, (68.6%) reported “not working”, (53.8%) had between 1 and 3 living children, (59.1%), and were primiparous, indicating that they had given birth once., and (50.0%) reported never using supplements. The majority (60.4%) relied on other sources, such as sachet water, for their water supply. (49.4%) of the respondents, a drainage system was installed and (47.2%) used ITNs more than three times a week. (64.8%) Of the women, the women did not meet the minimum dietary diversity (MDD) requirements. Dietary diversity was significantly associated with socioeconomic status (p= 0.05). This study revealed that low socioeconomic status in pregnant women with malaria may be the cause of inappropriate dietary practices. The findings highlight the need for targeted nutritional and socioeconomic interventions in this vulnerable population

description: Characterizing many species interactions as mutualisms can be misleading because some members of the interaction derive greater fitness benefits at the expense of other members. We provide detailed natural history data on a suspected bird–plant mutualism in South Africa where many species of birds use fluffy Eriocephalus seed material to construct their nest, potentially dispersing seeds for the plant. We focus on a common bird, Prinia maculosa, which invests heavily in gathering Eriocephalus material. Prinias spent 5 of their median 6-day nest construction period adding seed material to their nests and frequently travelled outside their territory boundary to gather Eriocephalus material. Yet, prinias gathered primarily Eriocephalus fluff and actively avoided gathering seeds. The average prinia nest contained only 6.6 seeds, but contained fluff from 579 seeds. These data suggest that prinias provide limited dispersal benefits to Eriocephalus plants. By contrast, the large amounts of Eriocephalus fluff in prinia nests, and the effort that prinias invest in gathering it, suggest that prinias benefit from constructing their nests with Eriocephalus material. We end by outlining hypotheses for possible fitness benefits that Eriocephalus material could provide prinias and other birds.

description: In 1958 there were discovered at Corbridge six fragments of a coarse vessel bearing in relief the applique figure of a Smith God. This find adds an important item to the group of similar figures already known from that site, which were found during the excavations of 1906-14, and published individually in the appropriate reports. In this paper I propose to consider this group as a whole, and to collect and discuss the rest of the evidence, archaeological, epigraphic and literary, for the worship of an indigenous Smith God by the Britons under the Roman occupation.

description: Calotropis procera and Calotropis gigantea are medicinal plant having therapeutic value. The leaf extracts of C. procera have been investigated, its pharmacological actions in detail and leaf extracts of C. gigantea were not studied till date. The objective of present work was to find the bioactive constituents present in the ethanolic leaf extract of C. procera and C. gigantea to evaluate their antibacterial and anifungal activities. The major phytochemical groups in C. procera ethanolic leaf extracts were fatty acid ethyl ester (21.36%), palmitic acid ester (10.24%), linoleic acid (7.43%) and amino acid (8.10%) respectively, whereas ethanolic leaf extracts of C. gigantea contain palmitic acid (46.01%), diterpene (26.53%), triterpene (17.39%), linoleic acid (5.13%) as the major phytochemical groups. Ethanol extract of C. procera leaves showed the highest inhibition (11 mm) against Escherichia coli, while ethanolic extract of C. gigantea leaves inhibited Klebsiella (20 mm). These findings will use in new directions in pharmacological investigations.

The producer strain was characterized as Streptomyces sp. by 16s rDNA sequencing. The structures of the three peptides were successfully assigned on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometry analysis, while the absolute configuration of the amino acid residues was established by amino acid hydrolysis followed by derivatization and GC-MS experiments. Antimicrobial activities of the new compounds were studied.

description: Membrane distillation is an emerging technology for treating highly impaired wastewaters. Here a number of commercial membranes have been tested. Bulk membrane and surface properties have been determined. Permeate flux has been determined using model 20,000 ppm NaCl feed streams. A bulk membrane structural parameter has been defined. The structural parameter is used to identify membranes that display the highest permeate fluxes. These membranes were tested with 100,000 ppm NaCl solutions. The maximum feed concentration was determined. For model low-fouling feed streams, membrane surface properties such as hydrophobicity and roughness have less effect on permeate flux than bulk membrane properties.

description: This article introduces a comparative study for the simultaneous separation and preconcentration of Fe(III) and Zn(II) traces in various water samples using three well-known ligands as chelating agents and activated carbon (AC) derived from Ramelak bark as a new bio-sorbent prior to the determination by ﬂame atomic absorption spectrometry. The chelating agents were 4,4’-[(4-Cyano-phenyl)methylene]bis(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-ol) (CMBM), diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) and ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC). CMBM was synthesized by a procedure reported in the literature. The newly prepared AC was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometry. The analytical parameters affecting the separation efficiency of the analytes including pH, shaking time, chelating agent volume (concentration), sorbent mass, sample ﬂow rate and elution conditions were investigated and discussed. Common coexisting ions did not seriously interfere with the separation, showing the good selectivity of the proposed method. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0.35–70, 0.50–80, 0.9–100, 0.55–75, 0.75–90 and 1.0–120 ng mL−1 for Fe-CMBM, Fe-DDTC, Fe-APDC, Zn-CMBM, Zn-DDTC and Zn-APDC, respectively. Under optimized conditions, the limits of detection were 0.11, 0.13, 0.27, 0.16, 0.22 and 0.30 ng mL−1 for Fe-CMBM, Fe-DDTC, Fe-APDC, Zn-CMBM, Zn-DDTC and Zn-APDC, respectively. The proposed method has been applied to the determination of Fe(III) and Zn(II) in different water samples with satisfactory recovery percentages. The developed method, validated with standard reference materials, was used successfully in determining the concentrations of metal ions in water samples.

description: The negative environmental impacts of industrial activity have been felt day-to-day, encouraging global actions to reduce the waste generation of harmful and persistent pollutants. Microemulsion synthesis of silica-coated iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles offers a high potential for several applications; however the process generates hazardous wastes that are difficult to treat and dispose of. In this study, cyclohexane and methanol were separated using phase decantation, distillation, and temperature reduction. The recovered solvents were reused in the same synthesis more than 20 times and the recovered surfactant IGEPAL® CO-520 was reused twice, suggesting the method applied has potential for continuous recycling.

The Anglo-Saxon church at Hexham

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 4, 47-67
description: [NY 935640]. Another contribution to the debate about this building focuses on two issues: the problem of floor levels and the eastern entrances to the crypt. Line 'g' of Hodges' plan (contra Gilbert - see 75/3101) was originally an arcade and the great depth of its eastern foundation is due to the proximity of the crypt. Hodges' section and existing remains suggest that the Wilfridian nave-level was c 91-5cm below the present floor. There was a raised sanctuary over the crypt and probably also a raised western sanctuary as at Canterbury. Foundation 'h' is related to the eastern sanctuary and may have been an ambolsolea. Arguments are offered against Gilbert's case for changes in the south-eastern passage and his views on the relationship of the passages and the above-ground structure. Appendices discuss a newly discovered 18th century plan of the crypt, the 1870 restoration and the identification of St Peter's church. Au(adp)

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 4, 69-132
description: [NZ 4735]. This is a study of an early estate represented by the village of Hart and its neighbourhood. Few relevant documents survive but there are sufficient to show the descent of the manor and to hint at the use of the land, the demesne acreage and the inter-relationship of the constituent settlements. The subsoil is unresponsive to aerial photography but systematic fieldwork has located a deserted settlement (Nelson). The excavation of threatened sites in the village would be worthwhile. The manor house adjacent to Hart church, excavated by Parsons, was occupied from late Saxon times to the 16th century, when it was given over to farm buildings. Successive alterations and rebuildings of the house, and the associated medieval pottery, are fully described. HEJLP

description: A 79-year-old woman presented with a 5-month history of a painful dermatosis affecting her hands and feet. This developed into inflammation with fissuring, affecting the fingers and toes. The patient was a current smoker with a 65-pack-year history. She had no other medical conditions, no respiratory symptoms and was otherwise systemically well. On physical examination, striking nail changes were seen. There was marked subungual hyperkeratosis on the hands and brown discolouration of the nails, with detachment from the nail bed and loss of the cuticle (Fig. 1a), as well as significant involvement of the toes (Fig. 1b). Examination of the soles revealed marked confluent hyperkeratosis (Fig. 1c). Although the primary site of involvement was acral, there was also a diffuse macular erythema of the legs. Laboratory investigations showed erythrocyte sedimen-tation rate of 49 mm/h (normal range 0–30 mm/h), but were otherwise unremarkable. Chest radiography revealed a subtle lesion projected over the seventh posterior rib. The patient subsequently underwent computed tomography (CT) of the chest followed by positron emission tomography (PET)-CT, which showed a metabolically active nodule in the right upper lobe (Fig. 2a) that was highly suspicious for lung malignancy. The patient went on to have a right upper lobec-tomy of the lung, making a full postoperative recovery. Following tumour resection, the dermatosis significantly improved (Fig. 2b). Histological findings Following lung resection, an incisional biopsy taken from the sole of the foot showed parakeratosis and lymphocyte exocytosis, with a psoriasiform spongiotic dermatitis (Fig. 3). Histology from the lung lesion confirmed an underlying diagnosis of squamous cell carci-noma (SCC). What is your diagnosis?

 Collective teacher efficacy (CTE) is the belief of teachers in a school in the ability of the group to bring about learning. It is not simply the sum/average but an interactive effect in which being surrounded by good teachers improves their performance as an educator. One aspect of CTE is the teacher‘s understanding of the teaching task. Another aspect is the availability of information by which teachers can measure their own performance. Information which increases CTE comes from mastery, affect, vicarious learning and social persuasion which are remote sources of information and from local sources such as the school and the school district. We knew from our work in schools and with teachers and in developing curricula that the teachers found it difficult to work critically with the idea of a teaching task. Further we found in emerging curricula that this was even more difficult as there is not as much research information available. This was where the questionnaires would help teachers to identify weaker areas in their practice. A careful development of the questions would elicit the teaching tasks. The questionnaires would help teachers identify weaker areas to be built up and provide that information in an acceptable form. The schools would use the results in self-evaluation.

description: Sequence-specific binding of proteins to DNA is essential for almost all the cellular processes like transcription, translation, replication, etc. One among the various mechanisms that has been identified so far that contributes to the specificity in protein–DNA interaction is the DNA conformational change. Electrostatic neutralization of the phosphate groups by the positively charged amino acid residues in proteins is thought to bring about such conformational changes in DNA. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to examine the effect of charge on amino acids Lys113, Arg145, and Asp91 which are attached to the scissile phosphate on the conformation of DNA in EcoRI–DNA complex. The results indicate that the charge of these amino acids is essential for maintaining the local conformation of DNA in the EcoRI-bound form. Interestingly, we observe that the positively charged amino acids Lys113 and Arg145 have a long-range influence on the DNA conformation, whereas the negatively charged amino acid Asp91 has only a localized effect on the DNA conformation. The charge on the amino acids also alters the collective dynamics of EcoRI. Collectively, the results shed light on the diversity of the effect of charges on DNA conformation as well as on protein dynamics.

description: Background/Aims: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is a malignant neoplasm of keratinocytes. Electrodessication and curettage (ED&C) published cure rates vary widely, and the authors of this study are unaware of any previous literature which has attempted to rapidly identify treatment failures. Objective: To identify BCC ED&C failures by histologically analyzing the fragments produced by the third round of curettage. Methods: The monitoring of routine therapy of 862 cases of BCC that were treated by ED&C followed by the submission of cautery fragments of the third round of curettage for histological and immunohistochemical testing. Results: Of the 862 cases, 764 (89%) had no residual BCC seen in their curetting. Of these patients, zero recurrences (0%) were noted. Forty-eight of the 862 cases had residual BCC seen in their curetting and elected to receive no additional therapy. Eighteen (38%) had a recurrence detected. Fifty of the 862 cases had residual BCC seen in their curetting and elected for immediate re-excision. Thirty-five (70%) had histological evidence of residual BCC. Limitations: The study was performed at a single center with 2 years of follow-up. Conclusion: Pathological examination of curettage fragments in combination with immunohistochemistry testing appears to be beneficial in predicting which patients are likely to have recurrence of BCC after ED&C.

description: Hadrian's Wall and the Antonine Wall were never occupied simultaneously; HW Ib was c 158-180s; AW IIl 185-207/8. A double frontier is unthinkable The literary and epigraphic evidence does not justify the assumption of a Brigantian revolt in the 150s, the identification of the AW as the wall crossed in the 180s and the assumption of a 197 disaster. Steer's case for connecting poor workmanship with auxiliary building inscriptions of the time of Pius and for assuming the Hamians could not have been the AW II garrison of Bar Hill is examined and rejected. The comparison of pottery from HW turrets and milecastles, HW forts, the AW and Corbridge shows very little overlap between HW and AW, and the end of HW Ib apparently earlier than AW II, Corbridge VC and Halton deposits. The evidence of samian and mortarium stamps and the proportion of black-burnished two are of particular importance. This with the literary and epigraphic evidence suggests a destruction of HW in the 180s, a destruction of Halton, Corbridge and the AW in 207/8 and a rebuilding of HW under Caracalla. BD

description: Slaughterhouse waste products are commonly known globally to pollute nearby communities and receiving bodies of water. The main aim of this study was to analyze the effluents disposed by Cagayan de Oro City Slaughterhouse to river catchment watershed. Standard methods were utilized in sampling and analyzing water quality parameters to determine the levels of nitrates, BOD, COD, total coliform, and lead. It was found out that the majority of wastes produced are internal organs, blood and urine mixtures, and manures. The study also revealed that all parameters tested crossed the permissible limits set by the government for effluent and inland water except for BOD and nitrates, in the river watershed. It was also determined that during wet seasons, major contaminants like lead and nitrates were diluted resulting to lower levels when compared to national standards. The result of this study also revealed the need for further remediation of the river water quality and intervention strategies to sustainably manage and prevent disposal of untreated effluents.

description: The rising demand of energy in the Philippines paved way for the proliferation of differentpower sources, a more dependable energy source which is coal – based thermal power plant. The disposalof coal combustion products in ponds and landfills is a great concern because of its leachability. It canbecome a problem when elements from the ash are leached contaminating groundwater sources. The maingoal of this research is to determine the concentration of heavy metals in the groundwater sources leachedfrom coal combustion products and the to assess the physico-chemical parameters of water quality. Standardmethods were employed in collection and determination of the pH, color, alkalinity, odor and temperatureand the heavy metals; As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Mn, and Hg. Mn was found to have the highest concentrationwhile Hg has the least concentration. The concentrations of heavy metals follow the trend Hg < Cd < Cu =Pb< Cr < As permissible limit set in the Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water thus making the groundwaterpotable with regards to the measured parameters in the study.
A fourth-century Roman inscription from the Saxon Church at Escomb, County Durham

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 48, 45-49
description: NZ 189301. After cleaning of the church interior an inscription was discovered some 12ft up in the wall. Re-used and set sideways, the stone reads BONO REIPVBLICAE NATO and was either a milestone from the vicinity of the fort at Binchester, 1½ miles away, or a statue-pedestal. This type of inscription-formula is not reliably attested lated than AD 395. Similar inscriptions come from Wroxeter and from Old Penrith, and the question for further research is whether these could be milestones. Although they do not mention the emperor's name, they may represent a variant type; there are several Italian milestones which bear the same formula, and there may be other parallels elsewhere.

description: Verticillium wilt of sugar beet is a disease that has received very little attention, but which has been reported to reduce sugar quality. A survey of sugar beet fields with wilt symptoms was conducted in 2007 (5 roots from each of 40 fields) and 2008 (5 roots from each of 45 fields) in Idaho. Verticillium dahliae was isolated from all root samples. From a collection of 106 V. dahliae sugar beet isolates, all were of the MAT1-2 mating type. The vegetative compatibility grouping (VCG) was evaluated for 93 of these isolates and 95, 3, 1 and 1% were VCG 4A, VCG 2B, VCG 4B and non-compatible, respectively. All the VCG 4A isolates had the same mitochondrial haplotype based on sequencing of cox3 to nad6 and cox1 to rnl loci, while the VCG 2B isolates had two haplotypes. Pathogenicity tests on sugar beet cultivar ‘Monohikari’ revealed that the VCG 4A isolates produced more foliar symptoms (P V. dahliae VCG 4A isolates have also been reported as a pathogen of potato in North America, rotating sugar beet fields with potato could be a concern.

An iron age settlement and homestead at Burradon, Northumberland

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 48, 51-95
description: NZ 269729. In SE Northumberland and on the NE coastal plain generally, a large and growing number of rectilinear ditched enclosures are known as crop marks on air-photographs (see abstract 69/497). Excavation of one of these sites at Burradon revealed an enclosed settlement consisting of round timber-built huts of various structural phases, whose foundation may be related to sherds in the Earliest Iron Age tradition. Superimposed upon this earlier enclosure was a homestead of one large, round, timber-built house, also lying within a rectangular enclosure. This was probably occupied during the 2nd century AD. Wider implications for the settlement of the coastal areas of the Tyne-Forth Province during the Iron Age are also discussed. Au
Origin of catalytic activity in sponge Ni catalysts for hydrogenation of carbonyl compounds

description: Computational results are presented from density function theory (DFT) that describe the reactivity of Al and early transition metal doped, sponge Ni catalysts. To develop an understanding of the catalytic activity of these materials, the direct reduction of acetaldehyde has been studied as a test system. Use of the scaling paradigm proposed by Norskov and co-worker shows the influence of dopant atoms upon the atomic adsorption energy of C and O and consequently adsorption energies of reaction intermediates. Construction of a simple kinetic model (parameterized from DFT) demonstrates that the presence of Al improves catalytic performance of carbonyl hydrogenation by increasing the reactivity towards O containing molecules, whilst at the same time decreasing the affinity towards C. Comparison is made to acetylene hydrogenation, where the activity is dependent on the C affinity of the catalysts. It is thus suggested that should one desire to selectively hydrogenate a carbonyl group in the presence of an alkene then the use of early transition metal dopants may facilitate this selectivity. Alternatively, one could use a dopant that is able to reduce the affinity for C but maintains a high O affinity. The origin of the activity change due to doping is shown to be the intrinsic electronic structure of the dopant rather than a perturbation of the lattice constant due to the dopant atom.

description: [NY 7766]. The area of the Roman fort and vicus, having recently been acquired for archaeological research by the Vindolanda Trust, presents an opportunity for long-term research especially on the prolonged post-369 occupation. Work to date has revealed evidence of a pre Hadrianic fort (or forts), an irregularly shaped fort of ?late 2nd century, and forts of 3rd and 4th century. The vicus which overlies the early military sites is being planned and exploration has begun; civil occupation is evidenced in Wall Period IV in the vicus itself as well as within the Theodosian fort. Detailed excavation reports are provided on the Diocletianic-Theodosian south gate, the 1st-2nd century forts, and the mansio, excavation of which is nearly complete and has revealed a 15 roomed courtyard house of four phases. Appendices treat the inscribed and sculptured stones, coins, objects of metal and stone, ornaments some pottery, wood samples and animal bones. See also Curr Archaeol, 2, 1970, 329-34.

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 5, 1-38
description: NY 686882. Excavation of a rectangular ditched enclosure on a low riverine spur revealed a couple of prehistoric pits, an Iron Age-RB settlement of three phases, and medieval and post-medieval occupation. The first Iron Age phase was a fenced enclosure, the second had a palisade and four superimposed round timber houses, and the third had (?)two round stone houses enclosed by a rectangular earthwork typical for the area and dated 2nd century AD. A rotary quern and ploughmarks attest agriculture at this time. A long farm building of 17th century consisting of dwelling and byre was examined though extensively robbed; it is documented under the name Doubledykes.

description: We report on an improvement of the open circuit voltage over 0.8 V, together with decent fill factor and large short circuit current, through the incorporation of ester-functionalized single wall carbon nanotubes in a poly(3-hexylthiophene): 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl) propyl-1-phenyl[6,6]C61 bulk heterojunction solar cell. The technique may open new margins for an extra efficiency enhancement through increase of the open circuit voltage using state of the art highly crystalline low band gap bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells.

Bishop Acca and the cross at Hexham
Creators: name: Swanton, Michael J
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2019

description: Archaeologia Aeliana, 48, 157-168
description: There is no firm evidence for the identification of the so-called Acca's cross with the cross which, according to the 12th century Hexham interpolation in Symeon's Historia Regum, stood at the head of the bishop's grave. There are, indeed, serious doubts about the genuineness of the interpolator's information. Even if there was a cross over Acca's grave there are no reasons for linking this with the present monument by arguments based upon the find spots of the fragments, the inscription or the decoration. The inscription has been largely illegible since its discovery in 1858. It seems to have begun with some version of the title Alpha et Omega. The second line began with SC, and in what were probably lines 17 and 18 there are indications of a phrase which can be identified with one in the Nicene Creed. R N B
