title: The role of non-ionic surfactant vesicles on the course of Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi as infection in BALB/c mice

description: The pro-inflammatory cytokine, TNFalpha has been linked with several patologies like malaria, toxic shock and rheumatoid artheritis. Moreover the circulating levels of TNFalpha have been shown to correlate positively with disease severity in both murine and human malaria. Among clinical features thought to be produced by TNFalpha are fever and cachexia. TNFalpha, however, has also been shown to play a protective role in malaria. Indeed protection against the asexual stages of the murine malaria Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS has been shown to depend on the sequential appearance of Thl and Th2 cell functions with the Thl stimulation leading to the early production of TNFalpha through activation of macrophages by IFN? released from the Thl cells. This indicates, therefore, that certain levels of this cytokine are essential for protection but excessive levels are detrimental to the host. Various methods have been used to suppress excessive levels of circulating TNFalpha levels in various pathologies. These include, the use of anti TNFalpha monoclonal antibodies and the use of soluble TNFalpha receptors. In the studies presented here, a new method for suppressing circulating TNFalpha was investigated. It involves the use of empty non-ionic surfactant vesicles (NISV) which had been shown previously to cause a less degree of weight loss in Toxoplasma gondii-infected mice than infected but untreated mice. Since high circulating TNFalpha levels have been shown to be linked with cachexia, the mechanism suggested for the reduced weight loss in the T. gondii-infected mice was the possibility that empty NISV were suppressing the release of TNFalpha from the activated macrophages. In the present studies, empty NISV were used in P. chabaudi chabaudi AS-infected mice to investigate their potential in reducing the amount of weight loss caused by this particular infection. It was also investigated in these studies the hypothesis that the reduced weight loss was due to suppression of the TNFalpha production by NISV from the macrophages and the mechanisms involved in this suppression.

description: This study investigates the thermal efficiency of a solar air heater (SAH), when it was mounted on a custom-made support frame, and was operated under different air mass flow rate. This SAH is composed of a transparent polycarbonate cover plate, a felt absorber layer, a perforated aluminium back plate and an aluminium frame. The ambient inlet air of this SAH is heated as it passes through the perforated back plate and over the felt absorber layer. The heated air is blown out through the outlet. Studies of SAHs with a similar design to this SAH were not found in the literature. The experiment was carried out at Massey University, Auckland campus, NZ (36.7◦ S, 174.7◦ E). The global horizontal solar irradiance, the ambient temperature and the wind speed were recorded using an on-site weather station. Temperature and velocity of the air at the outlet were measured using a hot wire anemometer. During the experiment, the air mass flow rate was between 0.022 ± 0.001 kg/s and 0.056 ± 0.005 kg/s. Results showed that when the SAH was operated at the airflow between 0.0054 kg/s and 0.0058 kg/s, the inlet air temperature and the wind speed (between 0 and 6.0 m/s) did not impact the temperature difference between the outlet air and the inlet air. The thermal efficiency of the SAH increased from 34 ± 5% at the airflow between 0.021 kg/s and 0.023 kg/s, to 47 ± 6% at the airflow ranging from 0.032 kg/s to 0.038 kg/s, to 71 ± 4% at the airflow of 0.056 ± 0.005 kg/s. The maximum thermal efficiency of 75% was obtained at the airflow of 0.057 kg/s. The effective efficiency of the SAH was 32 ± 5% at the airflow between 0.021 kg/s and 0.023 kg/s, 42 ± 6% at the airflow ranging from 0.032 kg/s to 0.038 kg/s, and 46 ± 11% at the airflow of 0.056 ± 0.005 kg/s.

Employing organic donor-acceptor thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compounds as photocatalysts
Creators: name: Bryden, Megan Amy
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2024

description: This thesis aims to expand the range of donor-acceptor (D-A) thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compounds trialled as photocatalysts (PCs), as well as increasing mechanistic understanding of photocatalytic processes. Chapter 1 describes the fundamental photophysical and photochemical processes that underpins the reactivity of the PC. A literature review of the relevant examples of TADF emitters as PCs is presented. Chapter 2 focuses on testing a D-A TADF compound outside of the carbazolyl dicyanobenzene family, pDTCz-DPmS, as a PC across a range of mechanistically distinct, literature known, photocatalysis reactions, with the performance cross-compared to the popular TADF PC, 4CzIPN. Across most reactions, pDTCz-DPmS provided similar yields to 4CzIPN. Chapter 3 details the modification of the TADF emitter DMAC-TRZ by the addition of a Hammett series of five para-substituted phenyl moieties to the DMAC donor group, developing strongly photoreducing compounds capable of promoting the photoinduced dehalogenation of aryl halides (up to Ered = -2.72 V vs SCE). However, mechanistic investigations suggest that the DMAC-TRZ compounds photodegrade under the reaction conditions, with the resultant photodecomposition product likely responsible for the photocatalysis. Chapter 4 delves into the complex issue of the influence of solvent in photocatalysis. The optoelectronic properties of eight PCs (TADF and non-TADF) were acquired in a range of polarity solvents, and the PCs were subsequently trialled in several photocatalysis reactions to correlate trends in optoelectronic properties with yields. Surprisingly, no such trend could be found. Instead, all PCs were found to photodegrade in electron transfer photocatalysis, while were photostable in energy transfer photocatalysis. Chapter 5 employs the previously identified TADF PCs in the development of the photocatalytic functionalisation of 1,3-diones to form 2-aryl-1,3-diones. Although some preliminary results were promising for acyclic 1,3-diones, the protocol was not successful for cyclic 1,3-dione systems, which are of greater interest to the agrochemical industry.

description: The current pre-registration is for a follow-up experiment of the previously pre-registered experiments (see https://osf.io/kxypn/?view_only=72825e53b53b4f2498d0641e4125beb8 and https://osf.io/v98d3/?view_only=111181c9cb6a42b2bcb4b8596982bd44). In these experiments, participants were first instructed to indicate whether a presented statement (i.e., true information, misinformation, general opinion, or social political opinion statement) was a fact or opinion based on its syntax structure. Subsequently, participants rated the truthfulness of various new and repeated statements. Results of both experiments revealed the typical illusory truth effect for true information (Exp. 1 & 2) and misinformation (Exp. 1) statements. However, we did not find evidence for such an effect for general opinion (Exp. 1 & 2) and social political opinion (Exp. 2) statements. As a matter of fact, our analyses showed a reversed illusory truth effect for general opinion statements across both experiments when examining only the statements that were encoded correctly as an opinion. However, because the participants initially encoded the statements as an opinion or a fact, we were unable to scrutinize whether the absence of the illusory truth effect is caused by the stimuli itself (i.e., opinion statements) or by the initial encoding (i.e., classifying it as an opinion). Hence, in our third experiment, we want to scrutinize whether the absence of the illusory truth effect for general and social political opinions is due simply because the statements are opinions or whether the encoding plays a crucial factor.

description: Our motor system can generate representations which carry information about the goals of another agent’s actions. However, it is not known whether motor representations play a deeper role in social understanding, and, in particular, whether they enable tracking others’ beliefs. Here we show that, for adult observers, reliably manifesting an ability to track another’s false belief critically depends on representing the agent’s potential actions motorically. One signature of motor representations is that they can be disrupted by constraints on an observed agent’s action capacities. We therefore used a ‘mummification’ technique to manipulate whether the agent in a visual ball-detection task was free to act or whether he was visibly constrained from acting. Adults’ reaction times reliably reflected the agent’s beliefs only when the agent was free to act on the ball and not when the agent was visibly constrained from acting. Furthermore, it was the agent’s constrained action capabilities, rather than any perceptual novelty, that determined whether adult observers’ reaction times reliably reflected the agent’s beliefs. These findings signal that our motor system may underpin more of social cognition than previously imagined, and, in particular, that motor representations may underpin automatic false-belief tracking.

description: The shikimate pathway, a metabolic pathway absent in humans, is responsible for the production of chorismate, a branch point metabolite. In the malaria parasite, chorismate is postulated to be a direct precursor in the synthesis of p-aminobenzoic acid (folate biosynthesis), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (ubiquinone biosynthesis), menaquinone, and aromatic amino acids. While the potential value of the shikimate pathway as a drug target is debatable, the metabolic dependency of chorismate in P. falciparum remains unclear. Current evidence suggests that the main role of chorismate is folate biosynthesis despite ubiquinone biosynthesis being active and essential in the malaria parasite. Our goal in the present work was to expand our knowledge of the ubiquinone head group biosynthesis and its potential metabolic dependency on chorismate in P. falciparum. We systematically assessed the development of both asexual and sexual stages of P. falciparum in a defined medium in the absence of an exogenous supply of chorismate end-products and present biochemical evidence suggesting that the benzoquinone ring of ubiquinones in this parasite may be synthesized through a yet unidentified route.

description: CRISPR gene drives have potential for widespread and cost-efficient pest control, but are highly controversial. We examined a potential gene drive targeting spermatogenesis to control the invasive common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) in New Zealand. Vespula wasps are haplodiploid. Their life cycle makes gene drive production challenging, as nests are initiated by single fertilized queens in spring followed by several cohorts of sterile female workers and the production of reproductives in autumn. We show that different spermatogenesis genes have different levels of variation between introduced and native ranges, enabling a potential ‘precision drive’ that could target the reduced genetic diversity and genotypes within the invaded range. In vitro testing showed guide-RNA target specificity and efficacy that was dependent on the gene target within Vespula, but no cross-reactivity in other Hymenoptera. Mathematical modelling incorporating the genetic and life history traits of Vespula wasps identified characteristics for a male sterility drive to achieve population control. There was a trade-off between drive infiltration and impact: a drive causing complete male sterility would not spread, while partial sterility could be effective in limiting population size if the homing rate is high. Our results indicate that gene drives may offer viable suppression for wasps and other haplodiploid pests.

description: The cuprate superconductor YBa 2Cu 4O 8, in comparison with most other cuprates, has a stable stoichiometry, is largely free of defects and may be regarded as the canonical underdoped cuprate, displaying marked pseudogap behaviour and an associated distinct weakening of superconducting properties. This cuprate ‘pseudogap’ manifests as a partial gap in the electronic density of states at the Fermi level and is observed in most spectroscopic properties. After several decades of intensive study it is widely believed that the pseudogap closes, mean-field like, near a characteristic temperature, T∗, which rises with decreasing hole concentration, p. Here, we report extensive field-dependent electronic specific heat studies on YBa 2Cu 4O 8 up to an unprecedented 400 K and show unequivocally that the pseudogap never closes, remaining open to at least 400 K where T∗ is typically presumed to be about 150 K. We show from the NMR Knight shift and the electronic entropy that the Wilson ratio is numerically consistent with a weakly-interacting Fermion system for the near-nodal states. And, from the field-dependent specific heat, we characterise the impact of fluctuations and impurity scattering on the thermodynamic properties.

description: Ein Smart Contract ist ein auf der Blockchain basierendes Softwaresystem zur dezentralen und unveränderlichen Behandlung von Transaktionen.Aufgrund dieser zugrundeliegenden Unveränderlichkeit können Smart Contracts nach ihrer initialen Veröffentlichung nicht mehr modifiziert werden. Selbst Softwarefehler oder Sicherheitslücken können nicht im Nachhinein behoben werden. Um die Korrektheit und Sicherheit der Contracts vor der Veröffentlichung festzustellen, müssen statische Analysen verwendet werden. Aufgrund der zugrundeliegenden Blockchain Technologie muss eine Funktion des Smart Contracts genutzt werden, um eine Variable zu modifizieren. Um Zugriffe auf diese Variablen auf Implementierungsebene einzuschränken, erweitern wir in dieser Arbeit den Ansatz von Reiche u. a., welcher Zugriffskontrollrichtlinien auf Architekturebene beschreibt und auf Implementierungsebene durchsetzt. Diese Arbeit setzt sich als Ziel, modellierte rollen-basierte Zugriffskontrollrichtlinen (RBAC) für Solidity Smart Contracts auf korrekte Weise auf Implementierungsebene zu erzwingen. Dazu erweitern wir das Standard RBAC Modell von Sandhu, Ferraiolo und Kuhn um unsichere Informationsflüsse zwischen Variablen und zusätzlichen Authorisierungseinschränkungen für Rollen. Um die daraus folgenden Richtlinien auf Architekturebene zu modellieren wird ein neues Metamodell entwickelt. Die so modellierten Richtlinien werden auf Implementierungsebene in formale Spezifikationen übersetzt, was die korrekte Umsetzung dieser gewährleistet. Diese Übersetzung wird automatisch in einem Generator implementiert. Um die generierte Implementierung anschließend zu überprüfen, werden Werkzeuge wie solc-verify und Slither angewendet und erweitert. Abschließend wird der Entwicklungsprozess skizziert, der sich aus diesem Ansatz ergibt. Um diesen Ansatz zu evaluieren, und so Probleme und Limitierungen aufzuzeigen, wird eine Fallstudie mithilfe der drei Smart Contract Systeme Augur, Fizzy und Palinodia durchgeführt. Zusätzlich wird eine Metamodel Coverage Analyse eingesetzt, um die Vollständigkeit des Metamodels zu verifizieren. Abschließend argumentieren wir für die korrekte Durchsetzung der modellierten Zugriffskontrollrichtlinien bei der Verwendung unseres Ansatzes. Wie die Evaluation zeigt, kann eine korrekte Umsetzung garantiert werden, solange bestimmte Annahmen eingehalten und Informationsflüsse nicht betrachtet werden. Um dies weiter zu evaluieren wurden Verletzungen der zugrundeliegenden Richtlinien in die Fallstudie eingefügt. Der vorgestellte Ansatz findet 100% dieser händisch hinzugefügten Probleme. Zusätzlich wird gezeigt, dass das entwickelte Metamodel vollständig genug ist, um rollen-basierte Zugriffskontrollrichtlinen zu beschreiben. Außerdem enthält es keine unnötigen Elemente, da ungefähr 90% des Metamodels vom Generator abgedeckt werden. Lediglich bestimmte Limitierungen wie öffentliche Variablen oder die Verwendung von Orakeln wird nicht abgedeckt.

description: Abstract In vitro production of embryos (IVP) is a valuable technology to produce embryos of high genetic value. Despite advances in IVP, the efficiency of culture systems remains low. One method to increase IVP success is the early selection of oocytes or embryos that may have greater developmental potential. Here, we investigated two methods of selection, namely BCB staining and cleavage kinetics, both individually and in conjunction, for improved developmental outcomes in vitro. We hypothesized that a synergistic use of both BCB staining, and cleavage kinetics would result in identification of embryos of greater developmental potential. The selection of oocytes by BCB staining does select for those oocytes with higher developmental potential, as noted by a greater blastocyst development between BCB positive (32.6%) and BCB negative (22.0%) on day 8 post-fertilization. However, the utilization of BCB staining and cleavage kinetics in tandem resulted in a complete masking of the effect observed when using BCB alone. We obtained the highest proportion of blastocyst development per selection group using cleavage kinetics alone, in which 53.1% of embryos grouped as Fast produced a blastocyst, which was significantly different from the three other groups (Fast+, Slow, not cleaved). We observed, however, that the separation of embryos by cleavage kinetics did not predict their survival to cryopreservation. In conclusion, in standard culture systems, cleavage kinetics is an effective method for the selection of embryos with increased developmental potential to develop blastocysts, however, it may not be effective to select healthy embryos for transfer following cryopreservation.

description: CRISPR gene drives have potential for widespread and cost-efficient pest control, but are highly controversial. We examined a potential gene drive targeting spermatogenesis to control the invasive common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) in New Zealand. Vespula wasps are haplodiploid. Their life cycle makes gene drive production challenging, as nests are initiated by single fertilized queens in spring followed by several cohorts of sterile female workers and the production of reproductives in autumn. We show that different spermatogenesis genes have different levels of variation between introduced and native ranges, enabling a potential ‘precision drive’ that could target the reduced genetic diversity and genotypes within the invaded range. In vitro testing showed guide-RNA target specificity and efficacy that was dependent on the gene target within Vespula, but no cross-reactivity in other Hymenoptera. Mathematical modelling incorporating the genetic and life history traits of Vespula wasps identified characteristics for a male sterility drive to achieve population control. There was a trade-off between drive infiltration and impact: a drive causing complete male sterility would not spread, while partial sterility could be effective in limiting population size if the homing rate is high. Our results indicate that gene drives may offer viable suppression for wasps and other haplodiploid pests.

description: Dinoflagellates are among the most diverse group of microalgae. Many dinoflagellate species have been isolated and cultured, and these are used for scientific, industrial, pharmaceutical, and agricultural applications. Maintaining cultures is time-consuming, expensive, and there is a risk of contamination or genetic drift. Cryopreservation offers an efficient means for their long-term preservation. Cryopreservation of larger dinoflagellate species is challenging and to date there has been only limited success. In this study, we explored the effect of cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) and freezing methods on three species: Vulcanodinium rugosum, Alexandrium pacificum and Breviolum sp. A total of 12 CPAs were assessed at concentrations between 5 and 15%, as well as in combination with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and other non-penetrating CPAs. Two freezing techniques were employed: rapid freezing and controlled-rate freezing. Breviolum sp. was successfully cryopreserved using 15% DMSO. Despite exploring different CPAs and optimizing the freezing techniques, we were unable to successfully cryopreserve V. rugosum and A. pacificum. For Breviolum sp. there was higher cell viability (45.4 ± 2.2%) when using the controlled-rate freezing compared to the rapid freezing technique (10.0 ± 2.8%). This optimized cryopreservation protocol will be of benefit for the cryopreservation of other species from the family Symbiodiniaceae.

description: Abstract Objective: To understand barriers and facilitators to evidence-based prescribing of antibiotics in the outpatient dental setting. Design: Semistructured interviews. Setting: Outpatient dental setting. Participants: Dentists from 40 Veterans’ Health Administration (VA) facilities across the United States. Methods: Dentists were identified based on their prescribing patterns and were recruited to participate in a semistructured interview on perceptions toward prescribing. All interviews were recorded, transcribed, and double-coded for analysis, with high reliability between coders. We identified general trends using the theoretical domains framework and mapped overarching themes onto the behavior change wheel to identify prospective interventions that improve evidence-based prescribing. Results: In total, 90 dentists participated in our study. The following barriers and facilitators to evidence-based prescribing emerged as impacts on a dentist’s decision making on prescribing an antibiotic: access to resources, social influence of peers and other care providers, clinical judgment, beliefs about consequences, local features of the clinic setting, and beliefs about capabilities. Conclusions: Findings from this work reveal the need to increase awareness of up-to-date antibiotic prescribing behaviors in dentistry and may inform the best antimicrobial stewardship interventions to support dentists’ ongoing professional development and improve evidence-based prescribing.
