title: AIRSS data for the prediction of the FCC high-pressure phase of Na3P

description: The ab initio random structure searching (AIRSS) techniqueis used to search for candidate structures. AIRSS is a stochastic method which generates structures randomly with a given number of formula units. A minimum atom-atom separation is specified for the generated structures. These separations are chosen based on short AIRSS runs. Symmetry constraints are imposed on our generated structures. This strategy tends to speed up thesearches because low-symmetry structures are unlikely to have low energies according to Pauling’s principle 30,31, although we allocate part of our searching time to check low symmetry structures, for completeness. The generated structures are relaxed using first-principlesquantum mechanical density functional theory (DFT)methods as implemented in the CASTEP code. This procedure is carried out in parallel to ensure a high throughput of results. AIRSS has a proven track record of predicting structures in a diverse variety of systems that have subsequently been verified by experiment, such as in compressed silane, aluminium hydride, high-pressure hydrogen sulfide, and xenon oxides. We limit our searches to a maximum of eight formula units (24 atoms) per cell.

title: From second generation feed-stocks to innovative fermentation and downstream techniques for succinic acid production

description: Succinic acid (SA) is one of the most important biobuilding blocks in biorefinery. Its production from fermentation of renewable biomass sources is becoming a consolidated alternative that is more sustainable and potentially more economic than the traditional petroleum-based path for SA production. Fermentative production of SA has been successfully commercialized and a large and increasing number of SA-derivatives are promoting the economic stability of this production. However, the companies producing SA from fermentation are targeting specialized markets and the production is far from large-scale bulk chemical synthesis. In order to develop optimized and economic processes, the best candidates in every step of the SA production process must be identified. In this paper, the most promising biomass sources, pretreatment methods, fermentation conditions (i.e. host microorganism, fermenter design and operative mode) and separation techniques for industrial SA production are critically reviewed. Selection of the host microorganism is a key factor for SA production. However, the availability, potential and sustainability of feedstocks, fermentation and separation process must also be carefully evaluated for a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable SA production.

title: An efficient method of propagating cassava plants using aeroponic culture

description: Cassava (<i>Manihot esculenta</i> Crantz) is a root crop grown in tropical and subtropical regions. Cassava production faces an increasing number of new diseases and arthropod pests, especially in Southeast Asia, where its area and trade have expanded. An efficient plant-multiplication system is required to provide disease-free plants to farmers to sustain production. Cassava is generally propagated vegetatively by planting properly lignified stem cuttings in soil. Vegetative multiplication is a simple approach and has the advantage of producing vigorous plants. The generation of new plants from seed, however, is not a common practice. Notably, properly lignified stems, rather than young and non-lignified stems, are required for successful vegetative propagation. On average, it takes approximately 8–12 months to produce lignified stems of sufficient size to establish an efficient and cost-effective propagation system. In the present study, an aeroponic culture system for producing cassava was developed, which is simple, low-cost, and enables the use of young stems (4–6 weeks old) for propagation. Additionally, we have demonstrated that the survival ratio and plant growth are improved in comparison with general propagation in soil. We propose that aeroponic culture can serve as an efficient method for producing disease-free cassava planting material.

title: Pravastatin alleviates allergic airway inflammation in obesity-related asthma mouse model

description: <b>Background:</b> Obesity is one of the factors associated with severe, uncontrolled asthma. The effect of pravastatin on asthmatic airway inflammation in obesity has not been evaluated. <b>Methods:</b> C57BL/6 mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) to induce obesity with or without ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and challenge. Pravastatin was administered intraperitoneally during the OVA treatment. Airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) were analyzed and lung tissues were examined. The changes in mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathways were measured in the lung tissues. <b>Results:</b> HFD with OVA sensitization and challenge exacerbated eosinophilic and neutrophilic airway inflammation and increased AHR compared to lean asthma mice. The levels of cytokines examined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) revealed that the expressions of IL-4, 5, and 17 were elevated in the obese asthmatic group and decreased after pravastatin treatment, indicating that both the Th2 and Th17 pathways were stimulated by HFD-induced obesity and OVA challenge and suppressed by pravastatin treatment. Moreover, the serum leptin and adiponectin ratio was elevated only in obese asthmatic mice and decreased with pravastatin administration. Pravastatin successfully alleviated the airway inflammation of lung tissues and AHR in both obese and lean asthmatic mice, however, treatment with pravastatin had no effects on BALF cell counts and cytokines in lean asthma mice. In lung tissues, the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was significantly decreased in lean as well as obese asthmatic mice. <b>Conclusions:</b> Pravastatin treatment in obese asthmatic mice suppressed allergic airway infiltration and AHR by inhibition of Th2 and Th17-associated signaling pathways, decreasing the leptin expression and downstream p38 MAPK signaling pathways. The effect on lean asthmatic mice was different, independent of airway cell counts and cytokines.

title: A revised grading system for the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory based on a large clinical population

description: <b>Objective:</b> Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is one of the world’s most commonly used tools to assess tinnitus severity. The aim of the current study was to establish a revised THI grading system using standard Z-scores and percentiles. <b>Design:</b> Cross-sectional observational study. <b>Study sample:</b> Adult patients (1042 participants – 518 (49.7%) female and 524 (50.3%) male) reporting tinnitus duration of a minimum of 6 months with complete documentation on patient’s clinical status (age, gender, tinnitus duration and laterality, tinnitus handicap based on THI and hearing status based on pure-tone audiometry) were included in the study. <b>Results:</b> Multivariate analysis of variance was used to analyse the effects of gender and hearing loss on THI scores and revealed there was a significant effect of both. Consequently, separate grading systems for women and men, as well as for subjects with normal hearing and hearing loss, is proposed. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our findings are generally consistent with existing grading. Normative values proposed for THI scores, based on a large group of tinnitus patients, could be useful to guide decisions about appropriate intervention options or to evaluate treatment outcomes.
