description: Two new coordination polymers, [Zn(bix)0.5(glu)]n (1) and {[Co(bix)(glu)]·4H2O}n (2), were synthesized (bix = 1,4-bis(2-methylimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, glu = glutarate). In 1, each Zn(II) is connected by four glu ligands and extend to form a [Zn(glu)]n two-dimensional network. Adjacent [Zn(glu)]n two-dimensional networks are bridged by bix ligands to construct a 6-connected three-dimensional network based on the Zn2 unit. 2 shows an undulated two-dimensional (4,4) network. The interesting structural feature of 2 is that there are one-dimensional water chains. The O-H···O hydrogen bond interactions link the two-dimensional coordination networks and construct the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture in 2. The glu ligands are bis-(bidentate) bridges in 1 and bis-(monodentate) bridges in 2. The luminescence of 1 and thermal stability of 1 and 2 were investigated.

description: 1. The objective of this study was to indicate the most informative chromosomal regions and candidate genes connected to body weight at 36 d, body weight at 39 d, body weight changes between 39 and 46 d, feed intake between 39 and 46 d and feed conversion ratio of meat-type chicken based on genomic data using entropy analysis. 2. Data contained information about 862 genotyped individuals from a Cobb commercial line using 60K Illumina iSelect chicken array and information from 42 770 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Entropy analysis was employed to detect important chromosomal regions determining the target traits. Locations of genes within the designated regions on each chromosome and for each trait were verified using the Ensembl genome database. 3. The most informative SNPs were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and Z, whereas clusters of the most informative pairs of SNPs connected to all recorded traits were located on chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 20 and Z. The identified chromosomal localisations overlap with genes functionally connected to the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.

description: Everolimus-based therapy and endocrine monotherapy are used among postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 negative (HR+/HER2−) metastatic breast cancer (mBC) whose disease progressed or recurred on a non-steroidal aromatase inhibitor (NSAI). However, limited evidence exists regarding the real-world comparative effectiveness of these agents. This retrospective chart review examined postmenopausal HR+/HER2− mBC patients in community-based oncology practices who received everolimus-based therapy or endocrine monotherapy (index therapy) as any line of therapy for mBC between 1 July 2012 and 15 April 2013 after NSAI failure. Time on treatment (TOT), progression-free survival (PFS), and time to chemotherapy (TTC) from index therapy initiation were compared using Kaplan–Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for baseline characteristics. A total of 243 and 270 patients received everolimus-based therapy or endocrine monotherapy in a quota-based sample. Patients treated with everolimus-based therapy had a higher proportion of visceral metastases, high tumor burden, and use of prior chemotherapies for mBC. After adjusting for baseline characteristics, everolimus-based therapy was associated with significantly longer TOT (HR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.51–0.87) and PFS (HR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57–0.98) than endocrine monotherapy. No significant difference was found between everolimus-based therapy and endocrine monotherapy in TTC (HR = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.52–1.27). Results stratified by line of therapy were generally consistent with the overall results. Limitations include recall and information bias with potentially absent or erroneous chart data, unobserved factors due to non-randomization, inability to measure outcome assessments paired with measuring outcomes prior to exposures, and potential patient selection bias associated with chart review. Among a nationwide sample of postmenopausal HR+/HER2− mBC patients treated in community oncology settings, treatment with everolimus-based therapy was associated with significantly longer TOT and PFS compared to endocrine monotherapy.

description: Improved understanding of risk of recurrence (ROR) is needed to reduce cases of recurrence and more effectively treat breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to examine how a gene-expression profile (GEP), identified by Prosigna, influences physician adjuvant treatment selection for early breast cancer (EBC) and the effects of this influence on optimizing adjuvant treatment recommendations in clinical practice. A prospective, observational, multicenter study was carried out in 15 hospitals across Spain. Participating medical oncologists completed pre-assessment, post-assessment, and follow-up questionnaires recording their treatment recommendations and confidence in these recommendations, before and after knowing the patient’s ROR. Patients completed questionnaires on decision-making, anxiety, and health status. Between June 2013 and January 2014, 217 patients enrolled and a final 200 were included in the study. Patients were postmenopausal, estrogen receptor positive, human epidermal growth hormone factor negative, and node negative with either stage 1 or stage 2 tumors. After receiving the GEP results, treatment recommendations were changed for 40 patients (20%). The confidence of medical oncologists in their treatment recommendations increased in 41.6% and decreased in 6.5% of total cases. Patients reported lower anxiety after physicians made treatment recommendations based on the GEP results (p Though this study does not include evaluation of the impact of GEP on long-term outcomes, it was found that GEP results influenced the treatment decisions of medical oncologists and their confidence in adjuvant therapy selection. Patients’ anxiety about the selected adjuvant therapy decreased with use of the GEP.

description: This work focused on wastewater reclamation of secondary treated ethylene chemical plant effluent, which contained high conductivity and high organic concentration. To reduce the cost and improve operation stability, a biological aerated filter-ultrafiltration-reverse osmosis (BAF-UF-RO) process was proposed. The feasibility and effectiveness of BAF loaded with a novel non-sintered fly-ash ceramsite (NSFC) as a pretreatment method of a dual membrane system were investigated in detail. The results showed that the CODCr, turbidity, NH3-N and the silt density index (SDI) in the effluent from the BAF were reduced to 24.2 mg/L, 12.17 NTU, 0.42 mg/L and 7.52, respectively, and most of the organic compounds were biodegraded. The BAF-UF-RO process was stable with a recovery rate of 75%, and the desalination rate was up to about 97.5%. Compared with the UF-RO process, the operating pressure and backwash frequency decreased from 1.12–1.26 Mpa and 3 times/d to 0.94–0.98 Mpa and 2 times/d, respectively. After continuous operation for four months, there appeared to be no need for chemical cleaning of the RO membrane. Moreover, the analysis results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy proved that there was only slight membrane fouling, which was mainly colloidal blocking caused by refractory organic compound.

description: Three strengths of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (FF/VI) were previously evaluated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in a program of global Phase 3 studies that included only a small subgroup of Asian patients. This study further evaluated the efficacy and safety of the same three strengths of FF/VI exclusively in Asian patients. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study. Patients with post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ≤0.70, FEV1 ≤70% predicted and modified Medical Research Council score ≥2 were randomized (1:1:1:1) to placebo, FF/VI 50/25 mcg, 100/25 mcg or 200/25 mcg once daily via the ELLIPTA dry powder inhaler. The primary efficacy endpoint was change from baseline in trough FEV1 at Week 24. The intent-to-treat population comprised 643 patients. Statistically significant (p 1 were observed with all strengths of FF/VI versus placebo at Week 24 (0.14–0.19 L). Reduction of supplemental albuterol use was observed with all strengths of FF/VI versus placebo. The incidence of on-treatment adverse events (AEs) was 48% with FF/VI 200/25 mcg and 37–40% with other treatments. The incidence of on-treatment serious AEs was 4–9% with FF/VI treatments versus 9% with placebo; however, the study only covered a 6 month treatment period and was not powered to assess effects on exacerbations. No clinically significant treatment effects versus placebo were identified for electrocardiogram, vital signs, 24 hour urinary cortisol excretion and pneumonia. All strengths of FF/VI improved lung function with an acceptable safety profile. There is no evidence to suggest that dose adjustment may be required in Asian patients using FF/VI 100/25 mcg for the treatment of COPD. NCT01376245.

description: An increasing global awareness about environmental issues is acting as the driving force behind
 the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass materials as valuable products. Teff straw is an
 agricultural solid by-product employed as locally sourced, low cost and readily available
 biosorbent for adsorptive removal of Cr(VI) metal ions. The adsorption capability;
 characteristic surface chemistry; surface morphology; crystalline structure of the Teff straw
 biosorbent was analyzed by UV, FTIR, SEM and XRD analysis, respectively. On the other
 hand, proximate and composition of the untreated Teff straw were investigated by thermal and
 chemical gravimetric analysis technique, respectively. The present study have investigated
 effects of modification and optimization of process parameters (viz. concentration of activating
 agent (H3PO4 and KOH), activation temperature and activation time) on the removal efficiency
 of Cr(VI) using chemically modified Teff straw biosorbent by Response Surface Method
 (RSM) using BBD technique. The maximum Cr(VI) removal was obtained using H3PO4
 modified Teff straw biosorbent of 92.52% with 2 M concentration of activating agent, 110oC
 activation temperature and 4 h activation time. Similarly, maximum Cr(VI) removal using
 KOH modified Teff straw biosorbent of 95.22% was obtained with 1.5 M activating agent
 concentration, 105oC activation temperature and 3.5 h activation time. The adsorption of
 Cr(VI) ions in both untreated and chemically modified Teff straw biosorbent were investigated
 under batch mode. The effects of adsorption parameters (viz. biosorbent dosage, contact time,
 initial concentration of Cr(VI) and temperature) were investigated. The maximum removal
 efficiency were attained at 2 g, 4 h, 75 mg/g and 25oC of biosorbent dosage, contact time, initial
 concentration of Cr(VI) and temperature, respectively. Isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic
 studies for Cr(VI) biosorption were studied. The adsorption experimental data was well fitted
 with Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetic model with higher correlation
 coefficient in both untreated and chemically modified Teff straw biosorbent. The investigated
 thermodynamic parameters were H o, So and Go . Those thermodynamic parameters were
 confirmed that the adsorption of Cr(VI) metal ions onto Teff straw biosorbent was spontaneous
 and endothermic process. The results obtained showed that the use of Teff straw could be
 considered as one of the most promising, natural, and easily accessible biosorbent to removal
 Cr(VI) metal ions from aqueous solution.

description: Achibo-Sombo which is known for its extensive coal deposits is situated in Oromia
 regional state, South-Western Ethiopian. The present study was focused to analyses
 the coal bearing sedimentary rock, lithostratigraphy, and quality of coal seam deposit
 in the Achibo-Sombo Area. The stratigraphy of the area was investigated by
 integrating borehole data and separating the area section wise based on field survey.
 The area is characterized by variable lithostratigraphic units: Basement complex,
 Lower Basalt, Coal bearing sedimentary rock (i.e.., interbedded mudstone and
 sandstone layers comprising plant fossils with laminated carbonaceous shale, shale,
 oil shale, and coaly shale) and Upper Basalt to the latest. The presence of Sandstone,
 Mudstone, Coal Beds and Plant fossils bear fluviatile deposits where as the
 intercalated various shale layers envisage the lacustrine environment. For this study,
 fifteen (15) representative samples were taken separately with respect to their seam
 thickness. Accordingly, coal seam thickness from outcrop ranges (0.45 to 4.8m) and
 (2.5 to 8.37m) from borehole data and the overall coal seam ranges from (0.45 to
 8.37m). The quality of coal at Achibo Sombo was analyzed by Adiabatic Calorie
 Metter, Gravimetric and Proximate techniques. The result showed that, coal quality
 ranged between (2323.044 - 9378.684 Btu/lb) as were observed from Adiabatic
 Calorie Metter, while sulfur content value ranged (<0.02 % to 1.90%) based on the
 Gravimetric and Proximate analyses which revealed the moisture, volatile matter,
 fixed carbon and ash content where results showed (5.38 to 30.27 %, 21.27 to
 37.29%, 6.29 to 33.23%, and 0.25 to 67.05%) respectively. Based on the current
 study, the Coal at Achibo Sombo is characterized by low to medium sulfur, low to
 high ash, low fixed carbon and medium to high volatile matter contents. Moreover,
 majority of the studied samples showed Lignite A ranks while few samples reflected
 Lignite B and Sub-bituminous C ranks. On the other hand, the grades of analyzed
 samples are categorized as Steel Grade-I and II and Washery Grade-I and II.Based on
 the findings of this study, detail exploration and XRD analyses mainly in the North
 East and Eastern part of the study area were recommended

description: This thesis explores the integration of advanced electron microscopy techniques with machine learning to enhance the characterization and analysis of shale and sandstone samples at the nanoscale. Understanding fluid dynamics within these rock formations is critical for various applications, including oil and gas recovery, \(CO_2\) storage, and subsurface fluid transport. The study utilizes both Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to achieve high-resolution imaging of pore networks and mineral fabric. These techniques provide detailed insights into the microstructural properties of geological samples, overcoming traditional imaging limitations.

To improve outcomes from destructive imaging techniques, such as Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy (FIB-SEM), this research implements Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to predict intermediate images between successive slices. This approach significantly improves the accuracy and continuity of 3D reconstructions, with Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) values demonstrating the model’s effectiveness. Additionally, data augmentation strategies were employed to diversify training datasets, further enhancing the robustness of the GAN models.

The thesis also introduces automated workflows for pore segmentation using ilastik and 3D reconstruction via PerGeos, enabling the calculation of critical petrophysical properties such as porosity and permeability. These methodologies provide a comprehensive framework for understanding the complex pore networks within shale and sandstone, ultimately contributing to more efficient and accurate subsurface fluid modeling.

While the research presented here lays a solid foundation, it also highlights areas for future exploration, including the refinement of GAN models, the integration of multimodal data, and the potential to reduce reliance on destructive imaging methods. By advancing these techniques, this thesis contributes to the field of digital rock physics, offering new tools and insights for the characterization of geological materials.

description: One new pyrazole-based ligand, 1-carboxymethyl-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (H2cmdpca), has been synthesized and characterized. Structural analysis reveals that H2cmdpca crystallizes in the monoclinic system and adopts a 3-D supramolecular network via the interaction of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The reactions of Cd(II) ions with H2cmdpca and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy) afforded three metal complexes, [Cd(4,4′-bpy)(Hcmdpca)2(H2O)3]·H2O (1), [Cd(4,4′-bpy)(Hcmdpca)2(H2O)]·3H2O (2), and [Cd(4,4′-bpy)(Hcmdpca)2(H2O)] (3). Structural analyses reveal that these complexes are all monoclinic and 1, 2, and 3 exhibit mononuclear, 1-D chain, and 1-D with binuclear loop structures, respectively, which are further assembled into 3-D supramolecular frameworks through non-covalent interactions. 1 and 2 are true supramolecular isomers, while 2 and 3 are “pseudo-supramolecular” isomers. In addition, the thermal stability and luminescent properties of the complexes are also investigated.

description: ax administration is a body responsible for implementing and governing the tax laws and other
 tax related matter. They are held responsible for assessing, collecting and administering tax
 processes. The main objective of this paper is to review and examine tax administration
 challenges, the case of Akaki Kality sub city small tax payer branch office. The study raised
 major research questions related to tax registration, Tax Education, tax assessment and
 collection and Audit issues, both quantitative and qualitative research method and Simple
 random sampling techniques were employed to gather data. The total population of the study was
 9077from tax payers and 364 from tax officials so that 385samples from tax payers and 195
 samples from tax payers were taken. Furthermore, the study analyses and suggests
 recommendations for the problems highlighted. The problems identified include Poor revenue
 administration image among tax payers,Bad tax payers attitude towards the government
 usefulness and effectiveness of public expenditure, lack of facilities, lack professional advice and
 assistance of tax payers, weakness of tax payer education, shortage of staff competency to assess
 tax liability, tax payer’s attitude towards tax avoidance and tax evasion, Shortage of information
 held by tax payers and third party,. The findings also shows that insufficient public awareness,
 lack of training, staff corruption, and shortage of man power are among the issues lead to low tax
 generation. The study recommends that training should be provided for both tax payers and staff,
 tax payer education should be improved and enough facilities should be provided tax officials.
 Also, need to employ competent and qualified staff with background knowledge of accounting and
 tax discipline.

description: Polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) are candidates for inclusion in the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants. PCNs are structurally and toxicologically similar to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and its analogues. Intake in food is considered to be an important human exposure pathway for PCNs. In this preliminary study, cheese and butter samples were analysed for PCNs, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) using an isotope dilution gas chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the PCN concentrations in the cheese and butter samples and to compare them with the PCDD, PCDF and PCB concentrations. The PCN concentrations were 5.6–103 pg g−1 of wet weight in the seven cheese samples tested and 5.0–199 pg g−1 of wet weight in the seven butter samples tested. The mass concentrations of lower chlorinated congeners were greater than those of the higher chlorinated congeners. Congeners of CN45/36, CN27/30 and CN33/34/37 were much more abundant than other congeners found in tetrachlorinated PCNs. Congeners of CN51, CN66/67 and CN73 were determined to be the predominant congeners in penta-, hexa- and heptachlorinated homologs, respectively. The PCNs contributed around 5% of the total PCN, PCDD, PCDF and PCB toxic equivalence (TEQ) values. CN73 was found to be the dominant PCN congener and contributed more than 40% to the PCN TEQ value. Congeners CN66/67, CN69 and CN63 were also found at relatively high levels. The PCB congener CB118 was the predominant congener (by mass-based concentration) of the 12 dioxin-like PCBs (dl-PCBs). The PCBs contributed 53.8% of the total TEQ, and congener CB126 contributed more than any other compound that was analysed to the total TEQ. The PCDDs and PCDFs contributed 11.6% and 29.7% of the total TEQ values, respectively.

description: Internet shutdowns occur when—usually a government actor—intentionally disrupts internet traffic. States can shut down the internet in regions of their country, over the entire country, and even outside of their borders. Most internet blackouts occur during times of upheaval. These blackouts are usually a method of silencing internet users, restricting opposition, and stifling humanitarian aid.

description: Seismic performance assessment of two buildings eight story plan regular and five story plan
 Irregular (L-shaped in the plan) buildings are carried out using a finite element software package
 implementing fiber-based beam-column element approach taking into account the geometric and
 materials nonlinearities for uni-axial loading and bi-axial loading. Assessment of performance is
 done by evaluating capacity curve (pushover curve), base shear, interstory drift ratio and story
 displacement. The study as a whole makes an effort to evaluate the effect of biaxial loading on RC
 building the objective of the work is to carry out Pushover analysis for case study RC buildings
 frames. The results obtained were compared with those obtained from the uniaxial excitation for the
 two considered buildings. The analytical results show that there is a reduction in base shear capacity
 by 6% and 8% when loaded biaxially compared to X-direction uniaxial loading and Y-direction
 uni-Axial loading respectively for eight story plan regular RC frame building and a reduction of
 based shear capacity of 16% for X- direction uni-axial loading and 12.7% for Y- direction uni-axial
 loading for five story L shaped plan building. The results illustrated that significant effect of bi-axial
 loading was observed on base shear of L-Shaped (Plan irregular) building.

description: Developed countries have adopted the use of modifiers for assessment of asphalt binder
 in long term performance. Asphalt contributes 90% to 95% in cost estimation of flexible
 pavement compared to all other major material components. To date Ethiopia is one of a
 country without any fossils fuel source for production of asphalt. Most of the flexible
 pavements in Ethiopia are observed to be multiple distress such as raveling in dry or
 summer season due to excessive oxidation coupled with premature hairline cracking,
 alligator cracking during rainy season followed by stripping leading to potholes resulting
 in slow movements of heavy axle load vehicles hugely damaging the base course. In this
 research the analysis of the effect of modifiers on the rheological characteristics were
 carried out and also fatigue resistance with the main aim of preventing rutting in asphalt
 pavement due to different temperature was considered.
 Hence a seminal effort was exerted in the evaluation of Portland cement and Waste
 Animal Bone as cost-effective modifying agents. Further the conventional bitumen
 penetration grade (80/100) was used in this research. The control specimen of four
 binders were obtained by mixing the asphalt binder under four different percentages (0%,
 1%, 3% and 5%) of PCWAB by weight of asphalt binder. Rheological characteristics
 were evaluated with Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) such as Amplitude Sweep Test
 (AST), Frequency Sweep Test (FST), and Multiple-Stress Creep and Recovery (MSCR).
 AST and FST were adopted for determining Linear visco-Elastic Range, Master curve
 were developed for temperatures of 21.1°c, 37.8°c, and 54.4°c respectively while MSCR
 and Performance Grade (PG) were determined for four different temperatures (52°c, 58°c,
 64°c, and 70°c). Finally, the master curve showed that three and more percent of addition
 of PCWAB on asphalt binder increased the stiffening property of asphalt binder at high
 temperatures and low loading frequencies (susceptible for rutting). On the other hand
 from the test results it was obtained from MSCR that the smallest total strain value was

 obtained to be 5% for PCWAB followed by the 3% and 1%. Thus, up to 3% addition of
 PCWAB significantly improves the resistance of asphalt binder to rutting. In addition,
 using PCWAB as asphalt binder modifier has positive impact on environmental
 preservation. The performance grade determination also exhibited the improvement in
 PG as content of modifier increases. Therefore, the evaluation showed that the 3%
 modified binder is better in its rutting performance with improved performance grade
