title: Breeding biology of Fairy Terns on Magone Islet, New Caledonia

description: The threatened Fairy Tern (<i>Sternula nereis</i>) is separated into three sub-species: <i>S. n. nereis</i> in Australia, <i>S. n. davisae</i> in New Zealand and <i>S. n. exsul</i> in New Caledonia. Poor breeding success was noted in <i>S. n. exsul</i> but the factors responsible were little known. To address this knowledge gap we documented the breeding biology in a small colony on mammal-free Magone Islet off the west coast of mainland Grande-Terre. We monitored the colony daily for 215 hours over 68 days in 2018. The clutch size varied from 1–3 eggs and incubation lasted 22.5 days. Overall breeding success was 14.8% (8 chicks fledged from 54 eggs), with egg/chick mortality due to a range of factors, including egg failure/chick death, tidal flooding, avian predation and desertion. Further work is needed to determine the impact human-associated disturbance has on <i>S. n. exsul</i> breeding colonies. In the meantime, the sub-species’ vulnerable status requires restriction of human access to islands where these colonies are established.

title: Darting towards Storm Shelter: a minute dinosaur trackway from southern Africa

description: The archived data include:a) Table of ichnological morphometric parameters of Storm Shelter Grallator tracks, including standard track and trackway measurements, and speed calculations. b) Supplementary Figure 1 showing the sedimentological details at the ichnosite.c) Ichnological photogrammetric the cleaned and aligned 3D models of the tridactyl tracks mentioned in this paper. (email the author for the photographs used in the photogrammetric models)<b>Abstract:</b>Theropod dinosaurs are considered the main terrestrial carnivores in the Jurassic and Cretaceous. Their rise to dominance has been linked to, among others, body size changes in their early history, especially across the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. However, to qualitatively assess such temporal trends, robust skeletal and trace fossil data sets are needed globally. The richly fossiliferous southern African continental rock record in the main Karoo Basin offers an unparalleled perspective for such investigations. Herein, by documenting a newly discovered Early Jurassic trackway of very small, functionally tridactyl tracks near Storm Shelter (Eastern Cape) in South Africa, the track record can be expanded. Based on ichnological measurements at the ichnosite and digital 3D models, the footprint dimensions (length, width, splay), locomotor parameters (step length, stride, speed), and body size estimates of the trackmaker are presented. In comparison to other similar tracks, these footprints are not only the smallest <i>Grallator</i>-like tracks in the Clarens Formation, but also the most elongated dinosaur footprints in southern Africa to date. The tracks also show that the small-bodied bipedal trackmaker dashed across the wet sediment surface at an estimated running speed of ~12.5 km/h. During the dash, either as a predator or as a prey, the trackmaker’s small feet sunk hallux-deep into the sediment. The tracking surface is overgrown by fossilised microbial mats, which likely enhanced the footprint preservation. Based on track morphometrics and the regional dinosaur skeletal record, the trackmakers are attributed to <i>Megapnosaurus rhodesiensis</i> (formerly<i> Syntarsus rhodesiensis</i>), a small-to-medium-sized, early theropod common in southern Africa. <br><br>

title: Highlights of the novel dewaterability estimation test (DET) device

description: Many industries, which are producing sludge in large quantities, depend on sludge dewatering technology to reduce the corresponding water content. A key design parameter for dewatering equipment is the capillary suction time (CST) test, which has, however, several scientific flaws, despite that the test is practical and easy-to-perform. The standard CST test has a few considerable drawbacks: its lack of reliability and difficulties in obtaining results for heavy sludge types. Furthermore, it is not designed for long experiments (e.g. &gt;30 min), and has only two measurement points (its two electrodes). In comparison, the novel dewaterability estimation test (DET) test is almost as simple as the CST, but considerably more reliable, faster, flexible and informative in terms of the wealth of visual measurement data collected with modern image analysis software. The standard deviations associated with repeated measurements for the same sludge is lower for the DET than for the CST test. In contrast to the CST device, capillary suction in the DET test is linear and not radial, allowing for a straightforward interpretation of findings. The new DET device may replace the CST test in the sludge-producing industries in the future.

title: Effect of circulation and micro-aeration on sludge characteristics and microbial community in an ABR for treating traditional Chinese medicine wastewater

description: The effects of circulation reflux and micro-aeration on the performance of a modified anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) for treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) wastewater were evaluated. The characteristics of anaerobic sludge and microbial community structure in the modified ABR were also investigated. The results indicated that with conditions of reflux ratio of 1, reflux ratio of 2, reflux ratio of 2 with micro-aeration, and reflux ratio of 3, the modified ABR achieved an average COD removal efficiency of 90%, 87.7%, 87.8%, and 88.4%, respectively. In addition, the NH<sub>3</sub>-N average removal efficiency was 45.1%, 50%, 55.9%, and 55.4%, respectively. The analysis of excitation–emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectra of soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) showed that there were tyrosine-like, aromatic protein-like, and coenzyme F<sub>420</sub> substances in the sludge. The EPS were analysed by the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which showed that aromatic compounds were partially degraded, while the protein and polysaccharide compounds increased in each compartment of the modified ABR. Interestingly, the microbial community of anaerobic sludge analysis results showed that <i>Chloroflexi</i> was the dominant in the first, third and fourth compartments. Meanwhile, <i>Levilinea</i> and <i>Methanothrix</i> were the dominant species in the first and third compartments at the genus level.

title: Pyrolysis of oil sludge from the offshore petroleum industry: influence of different mesoporous zeolites catalysts to obtain paraffinic products

description: Pyrolysis of oil sludge from the petroleum industry in contact with three mesoporous zeolite catalysts (CBV 720, 760 and 780) was carried out at 450°C to obtain oil rich in paraffin. The properties of the catalysts were characterized by XRD, XRF, NH<sub>3</sub>-TPD, FT-IR, TGA and nitrogen ad/desorption isotherms, while the pyrolysis oil was analysed by GC-MS. The products obtained in the presence of mesoporous zeolites showed selectivity for conversion of light hydrocarbons with decreased content of aromatic compounds. The homogeneous porosity distribution of the CBV 780 was the determining factor in catalytic pyrolysis. The residue could be treated by pyrolysis using mesoporous zeolite. The use of this catalyst produced 56% oil fraction with the highest yield of light hydrocarbons (96%). Compared with the thermal pyrolysis of this waste, the use of mesoporous zeolitic catalysts increased the production of light hydrocarbons and reduced the production of aromatic compounds in the pyrolysis oil from sludge.

title: Replication data for: Star Wars: The Empirics Strike Back

description: Using 50,000 tests published in the AER, JPE, and QJE, we identify a residual in the distribution of tests that cannot be explained solely by journals favoring rejection of the null hypothesis. We observe a two-humped camel shape with missing p-values between 0.25 and 0.10 that can be retrieved just after the 0.05 threshold and represent 10-20 percent of marginally rejected tests. Our interpretation is that researchers inflate the value of just-rejected tests by choosing "significant" specifications. We propose a method to measure this residual and describe how it varies by article and author characteristics. (JEL A11, C13)

title: Noninvasive biomarkers to guide intervention: toward personalized patient management in prostate cancer

description: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most frequently diagnosed malignancies worldwide and is associated with high mortality. Broad screening through prostate-specific antigen analysis, along with an aging and growing population has resulted in a vast increase in PCa incidence. As not all PCa forms are life threatening, personalized management is of paramount importance to preserve survival and quality of life for the diagnosed patients. Owing to the complexity of PCa, noninvasive biomarkers for diagnosis, stratification and monitoring, are essential to tailor intervention among patients with different disease manifestations. In this article, we aim to provide a critical assessment of the reported noninvasive biomarkers for PCa and their applicability according to the targeted clinical context. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature published within the last five years was performed, focusing on noninvasive biomarkers to guide initial and repeated biopsies, stratify for active surveillance, monitor biochemical recurrence and metastasis, and adjust treatment for metastatic castration resistant PCa. Evidence from clinical trials on novel drugs and latest technological advancements, indicate several clinical applications for biomarkers to tailor intervention throughout PCa progression, toward a more personalized medicine approach in PCa clinical management.

title: Development and validation of a tool to measure belongingness as a proxy for participation in undergraduate clinical learning

description: ‘Participation’ in a ‘community of practice’ is often proposed as a mechanism for clinical learning; however, the use of both terms is variable – ranging from technical to vernacular. Belongingness is a related single concept and development of a tool that measures belongingness may therefore be useful in adding to our understanding of when participation and hence learning takes place in clinical settings. After identifying relevant material from the literature, a draft belongingness assessment tool was developed, based on previously published work. This was piloted on 181 undergraduate medical students and the results subjected to factor analysis. The final version was then used to identify whether differences exist between two different clinical teaching environments. Our belongingness assessment tool had internal and external validity, with Cronbach’s alpha = 0.940, and detected statistically significant differences between primary and secondary care teaching environments. The belongingness scale described in this paper is a valid tool for the study of undergraduate medical students. This has the potential to investigate how variation in student experiences of participation in communities of practice influences learning. This tool revealed significant differences in student belongingness between primary and secondary care learning environments.
