description: In this study, we aim to employ Chlorella vulgaris algae for removal of nutrients in wastewater and collect the produced algae by ferrate after treatment. The growth of algae was conducted in F/2 synthetic medium and in actual domestic wastewater. The removals of nitrogen and phosphorous by algae were then investigated for low and high nutrient concentrations using wastewater after biological treatment in both batch and continuous experiments. Results showed that specific growth rates in the exponential phase were 0.23 and 0.35 day-1 for F/2 medium and domestic wastewater, respectively, proving the suitability of wastewater for algae growth. The removal efficiency of ammonia, nitrate, and phosphate were 89 - 93, 64 - 76, and 69 – 88%, respectively. In the algae collection test, pH 8 is the optimal pH to remove algae and ferrate had higher algae removal ability than alum under each optimal condition with removal efficiency of 84 - 97% at dosage of 12 mg Fe/L. These results suggest that microalgae is a potential alternative for removing of nutrients in wastewater treatment due to the high uptake capacity of nitrogen and phosphorous and the effective collection of algae after treatment by ferrate. Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là đánh giá hiệu quả xử lý chất dinh dưỡng bằng tảo Chlorella vulgaris trong môi trường nước thải sinh hoạt, thông qua khả năng xử lý N và P từ nguồn nước khi tảo tăng trưởng và khả năng keo tụ để thu hồi tảo bằng ferrate. Tốc độ tăng trưởng đặc thù µ trong môi trường F/2 và nước thải sinh hoạt lần lượt là 0,23 ngày-1 và 0,35 ngày-1. Hiệu suất xử lý ammoni, nitrát và phốt phát- lần lượt đạt 89 - 93%, 64 - 76% và 69 - 88%. Kết quả thí nghiệm keo tụ thu hồi tảo cho thấy pH = 8 là thích hợp nhất để loại bỏ tảo bằng ferrate và việc sử dụng ferrate cho hiệu quả tách tảo tốt hơn phèn nhôm với lượng sử dụng ít hơn. Ở hàm lượng 12 mgFe/L, hiệu quả tách tảo đạt cao nhất từ 84 - 97%. Nghiên cứu cho thấy tiềm năng thay thế công nghệ sinh học truyền thống bằng công nghệ vi tảo trong loại bỏ các chất dinh dưỡng và khả năng thu hồi tảo hiệu quả bằng cách sử dụng ferrate.

description: Multidimensional nonlinear coherence spectroscopy based on spectrally resolved femtosecond 2-colour 3-pulse photon echo measurements has been used to investigate the carrier dynamics and energy structure of porous silicon - an indirect band gap material. Short times are found for electron localization (~ 500 fs) and electron hopping (~ 3 ps), which are dependent on the porosity of the sample. A spin-orbit energy splitting for the conduction and valence band can be deduced.

description: The former Newfoundland Ice Sheet was situated on the fringes of the northeast Atlantic Ocean during the Wisconsinan glaciation (∼80–10 ka BP). Its geographic position indicates that it was likely to have been influenced by a number of external and internal forcing mechanisms including configuration changes in the Laurentide Ice Sheet with which it converged during the last glacial maximum, ice streams, changes in oceanic circulation and fluctuating sea levels. This makes Newfoundland a key location for investigating the dynamic response of ice sheets to these types of internal and external drivers. An established methodology for investigating ice sheet dynamics is to use the landform record to reconstruct the dynamic behaviour and configuration of the ice sheet. This provides a relative chronology of former ice sheet events during glacial cycles. A fundamental requirement of this approach is a detailed glacial geomorphology map that records the spatial distribution of individual subglacial bedforms across the former ice sheet bed. This paper presents a new subglacial bedform map of the Island of Newfoundland. It was produced as part of a mapping programme which used 10 m resolution Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre satellite imagery, Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and Canadian Digital Elevation Data. The map records the spatial distribution of ∼126,000 individually mapped glacial lineations and ribbed moraines and extends the number and spatial extent of each landform across the island. It is a new data set which has the potential to provide important insights into former ice sheet behaviour in this region.

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper presents the development of a new approach, based on wavelet spectrum analysis, for the detection of breaking waves in a time series of surface wave fluctuations. The approach is shown to be capable of producing equivalent wave breaking statistics as field measurements based on detection of whitecaps at a fixed point of observation. This wavelet-based approach is applicable to both deep water and finite depth environments. Based on applications of this approach to the analysis of available field data, a novel classification of wave breaking processes that consists of incipient, developing, and subsiding phases is proposed.

description: We investigated the role of profilin 2 in the stemness, migration, and invasion of HT29 cancer stem cells (CSCs). Increased and decreased levels of profilin 2 significantly enhanced and suppressed the self-renewal, migration, and invasion ability of HT29 CSCs, respectively. Moreover, profilin 2 directly regulated the expression of stemness markers (CD133, SOX2, and β-catenin) and epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (E-cadherin and snail). CD133 and β-catenin were up-regulated by overexpression of profilin 2 and down-regulated by depletion of profilin 2. SOX2 was decreased by profilin 2 depletion. E-cadherin was not influenced by profilin 2- overexpression but increased by profilin 2- knockdown. The expression of snail was suppressed by profilin 2- knockdown. We speculated that stemness and the EMT are closely linked through profilin 2-related pathways. Therefore, this study indicates that profilin 2 affects the metastatic potential and stemness of colorectal CSCs by regulating EMT- and stemness-related proteins.

description: Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) secreted by bacteria have a key role in adhesion and aggregation of bacterial cells on solid surfaces. In the present study, atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the adhesion propensity of bacterial strain St. guttiformis, and the ultrastructure and distribution of the EPS materials, on hydrophobic poly(tert-butylmethacrylate)(PtBMA) and hydrophilic polystyrene maleic acid (PSMA) surfaces. The results showed that bacterial attachment to the PSMA surface over incubation periods of 24-72 h was insignificant, whereas there was a strong propensity for the bacterial cells to attach to the PtBMA surface, forming multi-layered biofilms. For the PSMA surface, planktonic EPS adsorbed onto the polymeric surface and formed a continuous surface layer. For the PtBMA surface, non-contact mode imaging revealed that capsular EPS on the cell surface exhibited granular structures with the lateral dimensions of 30-50 nm and the vertical roughness of 7-10 nm. Lateral force imaging showed inter-connected elongated features which had lower frictional property compared to the surrounding EPS matrix, suggesting possible segregation of hydrophobic fractions of the EPS materials. The planktonic EPS adsorbed onto the PtBMA surface also showed similar nanometer-scale granular structures and could form stacks up to 150 nm in height. However, lateral force imaging did not show frictional differences, as in the case of capsular EPS. This is attributed to possible differences in the composition of the two EPS materials, and/or greater deformation of the planktonic EPS in the contact imaging mode which may obscure the fine surface features.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are a class of short-duration transients at radio wavelengths with inferred astrophysical origin. The prototypical FRB is a broadband signal that occurs over the extent of the receiver frequency range, is narrow in time, and is highly dispersed, following a v(-2) relation. However, some FRBs appear band-limited, and show apparent scintillation, complex frequency-dependent structure, or multi-component pulse shapes. While there is sufficient evidence that FRBs are indeed astrophysical, their one-off nature necessitates extra scrutiny when reporting a detection as bona fide and not a false positive. Currently, there is no formal validation framework for FRBs, rather a set of community practices. In this article, we discuss potential sources of false positives, and suggest a framework in which FRB-like events can be evaluated as real or otherwise. We present examples of false-positive events in data from the Arecibo, LOFAR, and Nanshan telescopes, which while FRB-like, are found to be due to instrumental variations, noise, and radio-frequency interference. Differentiating these false-positive detections from astrophysical events requires knowledge and tests beyond thresholded single-pulse detection. We discuss post-detection analyses, verification tests, and data sets which should be provided when reporting an FRB detection.

description: 1989 saw the cancellation of the BBC's long-running science fiction television series Doctor Who (1965 -). The 1990s were largely bereft of original Doctor Who television content, leading fans to characterise that decade as the “wilderness years” for the franchise (McNaughton 194). From another perspective, though, the 1990s was an unprecedented time of production for Doctor Who media. From 1991 to 1997, Virgin Publishing was licensed by the BBC's merchandising division to publish a series of original Doctor Who novels, which they produced and marketed as a continuation of the television series (Gulyas 46). This series of novels, Doctor Who: The New Adventures (commonly referred to as “the Virgin New Adventures” by fans) proved popular enough to support a monthly release schedule, and from 1994 onwards, a secondary "Missing Adventures" series. Despite their central role in the 1990s, however, many fans have argued that the Doctor Who novels format makes them either less "canonical" than the television series, or completely "apocryphal" (Gulyas 48). This fits with a general trend in transmedia properties, where print-based expansions or spin-offs are generally considered less official or authentic than those that are screen-based (Hills 223). This article argues that the openness of the series to contributions from fan writers – and also some of the techniques and approaches prioritised in fan fiction - resulted in the Virgin range of Doctor Who novels having an unusually significant impact on the development and evolution of the franchise as a whole when compared to the print-based transmedia extensions of other popular series’. The article also argues that the tonal and stylistic influence of the New Adventures novels on the revived Doctor Who television series offers an interesting counter-example to the usually strict hierarchies of content that are implied in Henry Jenkins's influential model of transmedia storytelling.

description: Control of robot arms is often required in engineering and can be performed by using different methods. This study examined and symmetrically compared the use of a controller, eye gaze tracker and a combination thereof in a multimodal setup for control of a robot arm. Tasks of different complexities were defined and twenty participants completed an experiment using these interaction modalities to solve the tasks. More specifically, there were three tasks: the first was to navigate a chess piece from a square to another pre-specified square; the second was the same as the first task, but required more moves to complete; and the third task was to move multiple pieces to reach a solution to a pre-defined arrangement of the pieces. Further, while gaze control has the potential to be more intuitive than a hand controller, it suffers from limitations with regard to spatial accuracy and target selection. The multimodal setup aimed to mitigate the weaknesses of the eye gaze tracker, creating a superior system without simply relying on the controller. The experiment shows that the multimodal setup improves performance over the eye gaze tracker alone ( p < 0.05 ) and was competitive with the controller only setup, although did not outperform it ( p > 0.05 ).

description: The circumgalactic medium (CGM) close to ∼L∗ star-forming galaxies hosts strong Mg ii λ2796 absorption (with equivalent width W 2796 > 0.1) with a near-unity covering fraction. To characterize the spatial coherence of this absorption, we analyze the W 2796 distribution in the CGM of 27 star-forming galaxies detected in deep spectroscopy of bright background (b/g) galaxies first presented in Rubin et al. The sample foreground (f/g) systems have redshifts and stellar masses 9.1 < log M ∗/M o < 11.1, and the b/g galaxies provide spatially extended probes with half-light radii at projected distances < 50 kpc. Our analysis also draws on literature W 2796 values measured in b/g QSO spectroscopy probing the halos of f/g galaxies with a similar range in M ∗ at z ∼ 0.25. By making the assumptions that (1) samples of like galaxies exhibit similar circumgalactic W 2796 distributions and, (2) within a given halo, the quantity log W 2796 has a Gaussian distribution with a dispersion that is constant with M ∗ and , we use this QSO-galaxy pair sample to construct a model for the log W 2796 distribution in the CGM of low-redshift galaxies. Adopting this model, we then demonstrate the dependence of the observed log W 2796 distribution on the ratio of the surface area of the b/g probe to the projected absorber surface area (x A ≡ A G/A A), finding that distributions that assume x A ≥ 15 are statistically inconsistent with that observed toward our b/g galaxy sample at a 95% confidence level. This limit, in combination with the b/g galaxy sizes, requires that the length scale over which W 2796 does not vary (i.e., the "coherence scale" of Mg ii absorption) is ℓ A > kpc. This novel constraint on the morphology of cool, photoionized structures in the inner CGM suggests that either these structures each extend over kiloparsec scales or the number and velocity dispersion of these structures are spatially correlated over the same scales.

Can we select students who will go on to be successful engineers?

Year: 2024

description: Tertiary entrance scores are widely used for admissions into engineering degrees, and these scores have been shown to correlate with academic performance. However, academic performance is not always well correlated with work performance. This suggests that the exclusive use of tertiary entrance scores for university admissions may not select students who can develop into high-performing engineers. In contrast, some psychometric measures, such as conscientiousness and general mental ability (GMA), are correlated with both tertiary and work performance, but the validity of these measures can be affected by demographic factors, including culture (e.g. nationality, race, or ethnicity), gender and age. This study will explore the affordances of including different selection methods into the admission process for an undergraduate engineering degree. This study reviewed literature to explore the relationships between different selection methods, academic and work performance. The applicability of some of these selection methods in admissions processes will be examined and discussed. General mental ability is a key predictor of work performance, and other non-cognitive scores can improve this prediction. Grade point average (GPA) is a poor predictor of work performance. Multiple-mini interviews, currently used in medicine, have strong potential as an alternative selection method. Existing selection methods have the potential to be adapted and used to select a diverse engineering cohort. Alternative academic performance metrics are urgently needed to predict work performance.

description: This study is aimed at the development of a composite wound dressing containing nanosilver loaded polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanogels. The PVA nanogels were prepared by fructose induced reduction of silver nitrate within PVA gel to develop nanosilver nanogel (nGel). The influence of various synthesis parameters on PVA nanogel formation was investigated. The particle size of the nanogels, as evaluated by transmission electron microscopy was observed to be in the range of 10–50 nm. Glycerol was added to the nGel system and this composition, nGel/Glc, was coated on cotton fabric to develop a composite wound dressing. The cumulative release of silver from the dressing was found to be ∼36% of the total loading after 48 h. Even at such low concentrations, high antibacterial efficiency was achieved against both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. In vivo wound healing studies were carried out over a period of 21 days on full-thickness skin wounds created on Swiss albino mice. Fast healing was observed in nGel/Glc treated wounds with minimum scarring, as compared to other groups. These results suggest that nGel/Glc based dressing material could be promising candidates for wound dressing applications.

description: XML has emerged as the standard for representing, exchanging and integrating data on the Web. To guarantee the quality of XML documents, the design of quality XML Schemas becomes essentially important. In this paper, we look into this problem by designing quality XML Schemas from given E-R diagrams. We first discuss several criteria in designing a good XML Schema. Following these criteria, transformation rules are then devised that take all constructs of an E-R diagram into account. Finally, a recursive algorithm is developed to transform an E-R diagram to a corresponding quality XML Schema.

description: Workflow monitoring is a routine function of a workflow management system for tracking the progress of running workflow instances. To keep participating organisations as autonomous entities in an inter-organisational business collaboration environment, however, it brings challenges in generating workflow tracking structures and manipulating instance correspondences between different participating organisations. Aiming to tackle these problems, this paper proposed a matrix based framework on the basis of our relative workflow model. This framework enables a participating organisation to derive tracking structures over its relative workflows and the involved relevant workflows of its partner organisations, and to perform workflow tracking with the generated tracking structures.

In the NO2 group substituted molecules, the N–N bond distance increases with the increase of NO2 groups, whereas in C–N bonds, this effect is relatively less, and the distances are almost equal. The topological analysis of electron density reveals that the electron density ρbcp(r) of C–N and N–N bonds are significantly decreasing with the increase of NO2 groups in the nitramine molecules. The Laplacian of electron density ▽2ρbcp(r) of N–NO2 bonds [DMNA: − 16.7 eÅ− 5, MDA: − 12.8 eÅ− 5 and TNA: − 7.9 eÅ− 5] of the molecules are relatively less negative, and the values also decrease with the increase of NO2 groups; this implies that the charge concentration decreases with the increase of NO2 groups, which leads to weakening the N–N bonds of the molecules. The isosurface of molecular electrostatic potential displays high electronegative regions around the NO2 groups. The oxygen balance OB100 of the molecules increases as the number of NO2 group increases in the molecules, in which, the TNA molecule having maximum OB100 value [+7.89]. The band gap, heat of detonation, bond dissociation energy and charge imbalance are predominantly depends on the number of NO2 group present in the molecule. The charge imbalance parameter (ν) has been calculated for all molecules, which reveals that TNA is a highly sensitive molecule, the corresponding ν value is 0.047.

description: A direct relationship between biofilm formation and melanogenesis in Shewanella colwelliana with increased oyster recruitment is already established. Previously, S. colwelliana was grown in a newly patented biofilm-cultivation device, the conico-cylindrical flask (CCF), offering interchangeable hydrophobic/hydrophilic surfaces. Melanization was enhanced when S. colwelliana was cultivated in a hydrophobic vessel compared with a hydrophilic vessel. In the present study, melanogenesis in the CCF was positively correlated with increased architectural parameters of the biofilm (mean thickness and biovolume obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy) and melanin gene (melA) expression observed by densitometry. Niche intertidal conditions were mimicked in a process operated in an ultra-low-speed rotating disk bioreactor, which demonstrated enhanced biofilm formation, melanogenesis, exopolysaccharide synthesis and melA gene expression compared with a process where 12-h periodic immersion and emersion was prevented. The wettability properties of the settling plane as well as intermittent wetting and drying, which influenced biofilm formation and melA expression, may affect oyster settlement in nature.

description: Aliphatic crystallites, characteristic of the eicosane and docosane components of naturally occurring lipids, were found to form microtextures that were structured by specific interactions with ordered graphite (HOPG) used as the underlying substratum, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis. Confocal scanning laser microscopy (CLSM) showed highly directed bacterial alignment for two bacterial species (spherical and rod-shaped), reflecting the preferential orientation of the crystallite–air–water interfaces to give linear and triangular bacterial patterning. The mechanisms of bacterial attachment are demonstrated in terms of the balance between effective radial adhesional forces and the capillary forces resulting from the water contact angle of the bacteria at the three-phase line (TPL) of the lipid surface. It is suggested that these microtextured surfaces, which exhibit the ability to limit bacterial adhesion to a precise patterning at the lipid TPL, could be used as a means of controlling bacterial colonization.

description: There had been four dredging projects done at the Special Port of PT. Indocement Tunggal Prakarsa Tbk. in Kotabaru, two of which ended in disputes. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the causative factors for disputes and selection of the best contractual model for dredging projects to avoid disputes. The method employed was the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The analysis results in the most significant criteria to avoid disputes in dredging projects, which are technical and quality aspects (43%) and the most significant sub-criteria, which are the factors of fixed designs as well as complete and accurate drawings (75%). The alternative contractual model chosen is the Lump Sum Fixed Price contract (53%), where the importance value given by experts reaches 49%. In so doing, in order that dredging projects do not end in disputes, the best contractual model is the Lump Sum Fixed Price

description: The fundamental differences between goods and services pose a challenge on developing an effective advertising strategy, this has led many scholars to recommend treating services differently and discussed the importance of communicating the relationship of tangible assets to service operation in order to make the service visible to the prospective customers. The presence of employees in advertisements has been highlighted as an example. This study offers a practical insight into academic theories and its practical implications, citing various examples, the authors suggests that frontline staff plays a crucial role in building the service brands, from their conduct, corporate uniform and courtesy, subtle messages about the brands are being passed across to the customers. Though with effort from the head office corporate communication team creating advertisement, front line employees needs to be made aware of their position and the need to complement the overall service brand.

Dictating the Divine: Revisiting Authorship, Intention, and Authority from Sacred Texts to Generative AI

description: Abstract: This article interrogates the historical practice of mediated authorship in religious texts to draw critical parallels with contemporary debates surrounding generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLMs). By juxtaposing the mediated authorship of sacred texts, such as the Hebrew Bible and New Testament—where figures like the Apostle Paul dictated theological concepts to scribes who infused these directives with their interpretive insights—with the generative processes of LLMs, this research underscores the shared dynamics of co-constructed authorship across historical and technological contexts. Employing interdisciplinary methodologies from art history, textual studies, and reception theory, as well as theological and biblical studies, the study highlights that the primary contribution lies not in novel historical insights but rather in recognizing significant parallels in knowledge creation and dissemination across eras. Both scribal and AI-driven authorship challenge traditional conceptions of originality, intention, and authority, illustrating that mediated authorship has long been intrinsic to the production of significant cultural texts. By situating LLMs within this lineage, we recognize authorship as inherently mediated—whether through divine-human collaboration or human-algorithm interplay. These analogies provoke a reassessment of authorship as a collaborative and iterative construct, enriching contemporary discussions surrounding intellectual property, creative ownership, and ethical accountability in the digital age. This analysis contributes to broader discourses on the evolving intersections between human creativity, algorithmic agency, and cultural meaning-making in sacred and secular domains.

description: Poly(ether-b-amide) (PEBA)/Tween20 gel membranes containing from 0 wt% to 65 wt% of Tween20 in PEBA2533, PEBA3533, and PEBA4033 were prepared by solvent casting method for CO2/N2 separation. The gas separation properties of the polymeric gel membranes were tested for single gases of CO2 and N2 at 25°C with the feed pressure of 0.6 atm. For all pure PEBA membranes, CO2 and N2 permeability decreased as the amount of polyamide block increased, but CO2/N2 selectivity increased. For PEBA/Tween20 gel membranes, both the CO2 permeability and CO2/N2 selectivity were greatly enhanced with the increase of Tween20 content. For the membrane of PEBA4033/Tween20-65, CO2/N2 selectivity, and CO2 permeability reached 54 and 146 Barrer, respectively, which is very interesting for potential application in CO2 removal from flue gas.

description: Throughout the higher education sector in the UK, recent decades have witnessed the increasing use of fixed-term and part-time labour, to the extent that around 50% of academic staff are currently employed on fixed-term contracts and in excess of 90% of researchers are employed on fixed-term contracts. Despite the importance of their contribution to the sector as a whole, relatively little research has been undertaken on the lived experience of undertaking contract research. The objective of this paper is therefore to explore the reality and complexities of contract researchers’ working lives and the occupational identities and self-images which contract researchers construct and maintain.
