description: Substrate stability is a key determinant of stream invertebrate community composition, but its measurement can be problematic. Stream ecologists often use different approaches and techniques to quantify bed stability, and this variability makes comparison among studies difficult. We examined the link between 6 reach-scale measures of substrate stability and invertebrate community metrics in 12 New Zealand mountain streams. The strength of the link varied with the method used to define substrate stability. We used morphological budgeting to measure spatial patterns and volumes of scour and fill. We found that as erosion of sediments increased, invertebrate diversity declined exponentially. In particular, increases in the volume of scour reduced taxonomic richness, whereas deposition of coarse sediments was less relevant for invertebrate communities. Overall, the distance travelled by in-situ-marked tracer stones was most strongly linked with all invertebrate community metrics, whereas the bottom component of the Pfankuch Index related very well to diversity. Both metrics showed near-linear declines in diversity with decreasing stability. In contrast, the link between invertebrate communities and the proportion of bed area affected by entrainment was weak. Therefore, we propose tracer-based indices and the Pfankuch bottom component as the most suitable measures for research involving invertebrate-substrate-stability relationships. Measures derived from in-situ-marked tracer stones reflected only entrainment and transport of particles. In contrast, the bottom component of the Pfankuch Index encompassed the widest range of bed-stability characteristics but is prone to observer bias. An objective method that combines the efficiency of the Pfankuch Index with the characteristics measured using tracer stones could serve as a powerful explanatory tool in stream ecology. © 2011 The North American Benthological Society.

description: Strata schemes present real difficulties in relation to discrimination law that have not been sufficiently thought through in Australia, either by legislatures or by some tribunals.
 The blurred line between the public/private divide in strata schemes will be a source of growing tension in years to come. The law readily accepts that the activities of some private organisations can be sufficiently public to justify limitations on their powers. Discrimination legislation is a significant limit on the exercise of public power and public activities, and it will be applied with increased frequency to strata schemes.

description: Previous watershed assessments have relied on annual baseflow estimates to provide an improved, albeit limited, understanding of the groundwater contribution to surface water bodies. In order to quantify the volume of groundwater in storage, additional information such as groundwater mean transit time (MTT) is needed. In this study, several approaches were evaluated for determining the groundwater MTT in the West Fork Duchesne River watershed in northeastern Utah. The most promising result was obtained with lumped-parameter modeling (LPM) of environmental tracers (SFR6R, CFCs, and P3PH/P3PHe) from 21 springs within the catchment. Approximately 30% of the springs exhibited an exponential transit time distribution (TTD); the remaining ~ 70% were best characterized by a piston-flow TTD. The flow-weighted groundwater MTT for the West Fork watershed is about 40 years with approximately 20 years spent in the unsaturated zone. A cumulative distribution of these ages revealed that a majority of the groundwater within the catchment is between 30 and 50 years old. As a result, the West Fork is considered a fairly stable catchment; it is hypothesized that short-term changes in recharge brought about by 5-10 year droughts are unlikely to have as profound effect on this watershed as compared to systems with shorter MTTs. A chemical hydrograph separation of West Fork stream flow estimated the average annual baseflow to be ~ 1.7 x 10P7P mP3P/year, which was assumed to be a proxy for groundwater discharge from the watershed. Using this MTT and baseflow estimation, the volume of mobile groundwater stored in the West Fork watershed was calculated to be ~ 6.5 x 10P8P mP3P. This volume translates to an average saturated zone thickness of ~ 20 m, or a recharge rate of ~ 0.09 m/year over the area of the watershed. In addition to spring sampling, several nonvolatile tracers (major ions, dissolved silica, and tritium) were evaluated in stream water. Over the scale of the watershed studied, there was no apparent correlation between major ions, or silica, and groundwater age. Furthermore, the usefulness of baseflow tritium (P3PH) was significantly limited given the fact that atmospheric P3PH records in the region have only recently stabilized. Future watershed-scale assessments should evaluate groundwater MTT, in addition to annual baseflow, in order to quantify groundwater storage and more accurately assess watershed susceptibility to development and climate variability.

This family was described in 2005 by Števčić only for the genus Dairoides Stebbing. Previously, these species were considered xanthid crabs (Barnard 1950; Kensley 1981), later parthenopids (Sakai, 1976), rather than Eriphiidae. In accordance with Davie et al. (2015a), this family includes only one genus and three species, Dairoides kusei (Sakai), Dairoides margaritatus Stebbing and Dairoides seafdeci Takeda & Ananpongsuk. D. margaritatus is the only species cited in the area (Barnard 1950; Guinot 1967a,b; Kensley 1981; Stebbing 1920).

description: Secondary compression of foundation soils can cause long-term settlement damage to bridges, their foundations and approach embankments, overlying pavements and other nearby constructed works. Because this type of settlement is long-term and manifests itself many months to years following embankment construction, it sometime goes unnoticed until it damages overlying or nearby infrastructure.  Surcharging or preloading of the earthen embankments and underlying compressible soils is the most commonly deployed strategy to reduce the magnitude of secondary compression. Surcharging or overconsolidating of the foundation soils can be used to reduce the post-construction secondary settlement. In the course of this research twenty-two consolidation tests and eighty-eight time rate tests were performed on Pleistocene and recent fine-grained, cohesive, lacustrine deposits comprised of Lake Bonneville and more recent clays, most likely of Utah Lake origin located along the Wasatch Front. Prior to analyzing the data, the test results were screened using the sample quality designation (SQD). Plots of the adjusted amount of surcharge (AAOS) were plotted versus the normalized rate of secondary settlement (C?-/C?) and compared with the research performed by Ng (1998). The data from this thesis plots higher than that reported by Ng (1998). This higher trend agrees better with the long-term settlement performance monitoring data obtained from the I-15 Reconstruction Project. Data from the time rate tests were used to determine the C?/CR ratio giving a mean value of C?/CR = 0.0456. This value was also compared with the research performed by Ng (1998) which has a value of C?/CR = 0.0433, this correlates well. A plot of moisture content vs. CR was developed and compared with research done by Bartlett and Lee (2004). The data from this thesis tendline is slightly lower than that reported by Bartlett and Lee (2004), but still correlates well. The correlation of moisture content vs. the C?/CR ratio was explored which shows promise, but more observations are needed to improve the statistical support for this relation.

Habitat and distribution. It could be an endemism of southern Africa, distributed from KwaZulu-Natal to Mozambique (Stebbing 1920; Barnard 1950; Guinot 1967a,b; Kensley 1981; Emmerson 2016b,c) at depths between 20 to 180m (Kensley 1981).
Results and remarks. One female specimen of Dairoides margaritatus was collected in M07 at 129m. The keys by Guinot (1967b) were used for identification.
Colouration observed. Pictures of the fresh specimen are not available.
DNA barcodes. There are not 16S and COI sequences of this species on any public database, and therefore, these are the first ones. In Genbank there are only one 16S (HM 637979) and one COI (HM 638030) sequences available for Dairoides kusei based in one specimen (ULLZ 9183) from Hawaii obtained by Lai et al. (2014). The 16S sequence differs in three mutations (in 533 bp, 99.43% similarity) that could be in the intrageneric range, as well as in the case of the COI sequence varying in 58 positions (in 588 bp). The results (especially for COI sequence) of the BLAST and BOLD searches also suggest the affinity of Dairoides with Parthenopidae, as already pointed out by Lai et al. (2014).

description: Biochar is a promising material for facilitating the remediation of aqueous phase contaminated with toxic trace metals. However, biochar properties from lignocellulosic biomass such as giant reed is underexplored. The sorption of Pb2+ by biochar produced from giant reed at different temperature profiles were studied. Two biochar of temperature 300 °C and 500 °C were studied. The prepared biochar was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction, BET Surface Area and Pore Analyser, Scanning Electron Microscopy, CHN Analyser and electrostatic Zeta Potential. Results showed that biochar produced at 300°C was effective than that produced at 500°C in the removal of Pb2+ from aqueous phase. Solution pH showed strong effect on the adsorption ability of GR 300°C to the Pb2+, the maximum adsorption capacity (19.2 mg g-1) was found to occur under these conditions (Temp. 25 °C, Pb2+ conc. 40 mg/ L, stirring rate 60 rpm, biochar dosage of 0.1 g, in 24 h). The equilibrium data were adequately fitted to Freundlich and Langmuir. GR 300 fitted best to Freundlich model with R2 = 0.89, while GR 500 fitted well to Langmuir of R2 = 0.521. The rate of adsorption was best described by Pseudo-second order model (R2 =1). FTIR analysis and batch experiments results suggested that Pb2+ adsorption mechanism was dominated by complexation with active surface functional groups, precipitation and cationic exchange. Experimental model results suggested that giant reed-derived biochar has high adsorption capacity for Pb2+ compared to other plants biochar reported in other literature.

Development of a new colloid filtration theory  in the presence of energy barriers via  discrete nanoscale heterogeneity

Heterogeneity

description: Traditional colloidal filtration theory (CFT) predicts zero attachment when repulsion exists between colloid and filtering media (collector). Notably, repulsion is prevalent in environmental systems, e.g., riverbank filtration, and is manifested as energy barriers to attachment due to electro osmotic interactions between surfaces of the same charge. A mechanistic particle trajectory model that incorporates discrete nanoscale attractive zones (heterodomains) to account for attachment under bulk repulsive colloid-collector interactions was developed and tested against an array of direct observation experiments conducted in an impinging jet system. Retention of 0.25 to 1.95 m colloids on soda-lime glass slides was examined for 6 and 20 mM ionic strengths (IS) and average jet velocities of 1.7x10-3  to 5.94x10-3 ms-1  (equivalent pore water velocity of 1.9 and 8.2 mday-1, respectively) in order to characterize the heterodomain size distribution and surface coverage. Simulations indicate that a power law distribution of 60 and 120 nm radii heterodomains (4:1 number ratio) and 0.04% surface coverage is able to quantitatively capture observed retention across all conditions examined. Furthermore, the same heterogeneity characteristics were able to capture qualitative trends of release of colloids deposited in contact with heterodomains  in response to perturbations in flow and IS relative to the loading condition, i.e., factor 25 increase in jet velocity or factor 20 decrease in IS. Finally, a correlation equation was developed to incorporate the mechanistic basis provided from the discrete heterogeneity model and calibrated from the array of experiments. The equation is a function of the colloidal number, which captures the main characteristics of the energy barrier, and the fraction of colloids that persist in the near surface fluid domain (secondary minimum) obtained from a Maxwell distribution of kinetic energies. Notably, the proposed correlation equation captures scores of experiments reported in the literature for a broad range of conditions for colloid sizes ranging from 0.06 to 3.1 m, IS from 0.1 to 300 mM, and average pore water velocities from 4 to 588 mday-1on soda-lime glass beads. The main coefficient of the correlation equation is a linear function heterodomain surface coverage, indicating that different coefficients may capture filtration across different aquifer-relevant minerals.

description: Women psychologists have conducted social justice work since the beginning of psychology, when women were denied access to education. The efforts of first- and second-generation women psychologists paved the way for present day women in counseling psychology. Today's female psychologists and graduate students in counseling psychology encounter numerous challenges as female professors, clinicians, researchers, and students. Added stress includes challenges associated with social justice activism, which oftentimes is work that occurs on a voluntary basis without financial compensation. Despite encountering many challenges in activist work, women in counseling psychology willingly continue to serve their communities and universities through social justice work using methods of self-care. The role of self-care is vital for professionals, given the threat of burnout and compassion fatigue in mental health disciplines. The following study explores the role of self-care for female psychologists and graduate students in counseling psychology who conduct social justice work. Seventeen participants, consisting of female psychologists and graduate students in counseling psychology, were interviewed about self-care. All participants self-identified as social justice activists. Using a grounded theory approach, qualitative methods were incorporated to analyze transcripts of semistructured interviews to create a conceptual model of self-care related to female activists. Results add to the understanding of social justice work by describing activism as an ongoing process that builds from efforts of previous activists, a process that gives back to the activist in meaningful and purposeful ways, and a process that involves emotional investment. Results also provide a deeper understanding of self-care, which is described as a learning process that changes throughout the lifespan. Self-care is rooted in the idea of knowing, which is understanding one's needs at a specific moment and choosing self-care that best fit those specific needs. Participants identified internal and external types of self-care addressing physical, relational, spiritual, and mindful needs. Four themes emerged from the data to describe the relationship of self-care in the lives of activist women. These themes include Relational Support, Influences, Challenges, and Strategies. The relationships among all four themes are described within the conceptual framework of an all-encompassing theme, activist lifestyle. A visual diagram illustrating this conceptual model is provided.

description: This master's thesis examines two visions of male failure during the Qing dynasty (1644 to 1912): husband suicide and husband killing. The adjudication of these cases created a gap between narrative rhetoric and judicial logic that complicated the clear-cut ideology of the Qing Code. I examine this gap, arguing that while of little controversy in the law, husband suicide and husband killing stemmed from issues of patriarchal weakness and abuse that undermined orthodox notions of masculinity and ordinary women's expectations of marriage. Chapter 1 examines male suicide cases that presented the husband as simultaneously morally righteous and yet a disappointing example of Confucian manhood, exploring the hypothesis that judicial discourse gendered suicide as a female or yin form of agency. Chapters 2 and 3 move to a discussion of husband killing cases that complicated the Qing Code's image of a righteous husband as the victim of a villainous wife. These cases portrayed deeply flawed husb

description: The aim of this deliverable is that of contributing to DIVINFOOD Task 1.2. The Task focuses on analysing how products made of neglected and underutilised crops (NUCs) are valued in the food environments and in food chains. The core activity of the Task is to collect primary data from actors working with NUCs in the food environments of the 7 countries involved in the DIVINFOOD project, which will then be analysed and described in Deliverable 1.4. In preparation to that, this deliverable provides a literature review of how NUCs have been given value in the food retail environments of the 7 countries.

Objective

The objective of this deliverable is to provide a literature review of how NUCs have been given value in the food retail environments of the 7 DIVINFOOD countries, in preparation for an in-depth empirical analysis.

Rationale:

D1.3 presents the results of a systematic literature review that was conducted in 2023 in order to establish the state of the art on food (retail) environments that value agrobiodiversity and NUCs in particular. In order to do this, we pursued the following sub-objectives that guided our research: 1) Establish the state of the art on how food retail environments influence what consumers buy and consume. 2) Establish the state of the art on how retail spaces in Europe valorise NUCs. 3) Understand how these insights (related to healthy diets) can be adjusted to better understand how food retail environments can make NUCs more “appealing”.

The scientific literature in social and agricultural sciences was collected systematically and reviewed in order to achieve the three abovementioned objectives. 26 articles were reviewed and a conceptual framework was established, which will be applied to the analysis of the empirical data that will be presented and analysed in D1.4.

description: Carcinoplax ischurodous (Stebbing, 1923)
(Figure 8C)
Material examined. M07, Stn. 13, 620m, ♂ 36.5× 25mm (IEO-CD-MZ07/1918); M08, Stn. 39, 631m, ♂ 51.6× 33mm, ♂ 54.4× 33.7mm (IEO-CD-MZ08/1824), 16S (MZ 424933), COI (MZ 434779); M09, Stn. 14, 608m, ♂ 39.5× 25.9mm (IEO-CD-MZ09/1768), 16S (MZ 424934), COI (MZ 434780).
Habitat and distribution. IWP, from South Africa (Barnard 1950) to the southwestern Pacific Ocean (Guinot & Richer de Forges 1980) at depths of 464–800m, being one of the few Carcinoplax species mainly distributed on the slope and not on the continental shelf (Castro 2007). The morphology of C. ischurodous differs considerably from the rest of its congeneric species, this suggesting the possibility of belonging to a different genus (Guinot 1989; Manning & Holthuis 1988).
Results and remarks. The three specimens, each one collected in one of the three surveys at depths between 608 and 631m, perfectly fit the descriptions and figures of Castro (2007). The species was reported in the latest checklist for the area (Emmerson 2016c), but only from records off South Africa. Thus, this is the first record of C. ischurodous in Mozambican waters.Anyway, we are aware from GBIF.org (2021, unpublished record) of the existence of conserved specimens of C. ischurodous housed on the MNHN from the MB-exp (2009) (unpublished).
Colouration observed. Fresh specimens looked polished, with the carapace orange-brown with some white small spots, and the posterolateral margin lighter; the chelipeds were bright orange with some deep-orange patches on the merus; the fingers and the knob at the beginning of the fingers were bright white. The pereiopods were pale orange with unarmed and pinkish dactyls.
DNA barcodes. There are not sequences of this species on any public database. The two equal 16S sequences and the two COI sequences (two haplotypes) are the first ones for this species. The BLAST search results for 16S show a 94.01% similarity with Goneplax rhomboides (JN591655) (27 mutations, including two gaps), and 93.79% with Carcinoplax surungensis (FJ 943433) (36 mutations, including five gaps), and a longer distance respect to Carcinoplax longimanus (this study), 45 mutations, including four gaps. All these evidences support the possibility that C. ischurodous could belong to a different genus closer to Goneplax than to Carcinoplax.

STRUCTURE-SWITCHING SELEX

description: SELEX technology has been a powerful tool to evolve aptamers that can bind tightly and specifically to a target. Aptamers are nucleic acids with the propensity to assume three-dimensional structures facilitating specific binding interactions with high affinity to the target. Principally, aptamers are selected from a large pool of random sequences by an iterative in vitro method. The main advantages of this technology are that aptamers can be produced in a large scale by a controlled combinatorial chemistry method, easily derivatized regioselectively for detection using dyes, and they are stable for long periods at room temperature when dry. Therefore, single-stranded DNA aptamers are robust binding agents with good shelf-life and easy production and do not require a biological host. One of the most difficult challenges of this technology is that there is no standardized SELEX protocol applicable for all types of target, which in this dissertation includes damaged bases and nucleosides. The first work presented here focuses on identification of products that formed from the reaction of Ni(II)-mediated sulfate radical oxidation of the guanine base. It was observed that a Ni(II)-macrocyclic square-planar complex, NiCR, in the presence of KHSO5 can generate a specific hydantoin lesion called 2-iminohydantoin (2-Ih) in both nucleoside and single-stranded DNA, along with the other well-known guanine oxidation products. The initial goal was to optimize the 2-Ih formation followed by isolation of this iv lesion. Fine tuning the oxidation conditions with respect to the concentration of KHSO5 added in certain time intervals made it possible to generate 2-Ih exclusively. Secondly, SELEX technology was used to select aptamers for the oxidized damaged bases and nucleosides as an approach toward detection of these targets. The structure-switching or capture SELEX technique was used as a successful method to generate DNA aptamers for these targets that are difficult to immobilize or derivatize and purify in the large quantities needed to perform typical SELEX procedures. The targets include the most common oxidation products that are generated as a part of the most important cellular repair pathways, base excision and nuclear excision repair. These products are the damaged nucleobases and 2'-deoxynucleosides of 8-oxo-7,8- dihydroguanine (8-oxo-G) and spiroiminodihydantoin (Sp). This is the first time that aptamers are reported for the damaged diastereomeric lesions, dSp. Lastly, sensors have been developed by truncating these aptamers as a part of post- SELEX modification and the binding affinities for these sensors toward the damaged lesions were determined. The future direction aims toward testing these aptamers by using split aptamer technology and testing these in cellular samples.
