title: PBET-based bio-accessible trace metal content in mangrove patches of Danshuei River, Taipei

description: Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP) has received extensive attention due to its ability to immobilize metals in the environment. However, whether it can enter the food chain through digestion is still unclear. Mangroves occupy the transition zone between the sea and land, have important ecological functions. Mangroves suffer from fragmentation due to human activities and urbanization. A variety of waterfowls inhabit near the mangroves and ingest sediment settled on their food inadvertently or for grit; therefore, they are ideal for revealing GRSP’s role in metal enrichment. Herein, we investigated the release of metals from mangrove surface sediments and GRSP through a physiologically based extraction test. The investigated metals (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn) in sediments and those bound to GRSP were mainly released in the gizzard phase. GRSP was an efficient carrier of Cu, Zn, Pb, and As from sediments to the waterfowls via direct sediment ingestion. For instance, 3.21% and 3.34% of sediment Cu were released in the gizzard and intestinal phase, respectively, meanwhile GRSP-bound Cu contributed 5.04% and 5.42% to this flux. Fertile factors (i.e., SOC, P) were more strongly related to the metal release during the gizzard phase. Overall, this study provides new insights into the potential risk of GRSP acting as a metal delivery vehicle in the food chain.

title: Separation of actinide and noble metal elements from high-level radioactive waste to improve the performance of vitrification

description: The porous compound generated from the reaction of tetrachloride (4-carboxyxy) methane (H4MTB) with actinide Th in simulated high-level radioactive waste can adsorb Ru, which can separate Th and Ru by more than 68.1% and 37.3%, respectively, in simulated high-level radioactive waste. The waste liquid before and after separation was vitrified with borosilicate glass and iron phosphate glass. The composition and morphology of the glasses were characterized by XRD, SEM and ICP‒OES, and the product consistency test (PCT) was used to measure the chemical durability of the glasses. The chemical stability and waste loading of the glasses after the separation of actinide and noble metal elements was significantly improved. This work is of great significance for the recovery and utilization of actinide and noble metal elements in high-level radioactive waste and the optimization of the vitrification process of radioactive waste.

title: Can static Rorschach stimuli perceived as in motion affect corticospinal excitability?

description: It has been proposed that seeing human movement or activity (M), while trying to say what the static Rorschach inkblot design look like, is accompanied by Mirror Neuron System (MNS)-like mirroring activity in the brain. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Rorschach cards eliciting M responses could affect the excitability of the motor cortex by recording motor evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by single-pulse TMS over the primary motor cortex (M1). We hypothesized that Rorschach inkblot stimuli triggering the viewer’s experience of human movement would increase corticospinal excitability. Twenty-one healthy volunteers (15 women) participated in the preliminary experiment, while another different sample of twenty-two healthy participants (11 women) ranging in age from 21 to 41 years was enrolled in the main experiment. Our results showed that the Rorschach cards known to be associated with a high number of M responses elicited human movement both as automatic internal sensations and as verbal production of responses involving human movement. However, contrary to our hypothesis, the reported internal feeling of human movement had no corresponding physiological counterpart, as the amplitude of MEPs did not increase. Possible and innovative explanations for the involvement of bottom-up and top-down processes were provided.

title: Signal processing of quantitative continuous measurement of movements in the extremities

description: "We hypothesized that (1) correlation of (A) the output of instrumentation to generate quantitative continuous measurements of movements and (B) the quantitative measurements of trained examiners using structured ratings of movements would generate the tools to differentiate the movements of (A) Parkinson's disease (PD), (B) parkinsonian syndromes, and health, and (2) continuous quantitative measurements of movements would improve the ratings generated by visual observations of trained raters, and provide pathognomonic signatures to identify PD and parkinsonian syndromes" (Harrigan, et al., Quantitative continuous measurement of movements in the extremities, 2020). "A protocol for a low-cost quantitative continuous measurement of movements in the extremities of people with PD (McKay, et al., 2019) was administered to people with PD and multiple system atrophy-parkinsonian type (MSA-P) and age- and sex-matched healthy control participants" (Harrigan, et al., Quantitative continuous measurement of movements in the extremities, 2020). The protocol and data have been described (Brasic, et al., 2020; Harrigan, et al., 2020a,b; Mckay, et al., 2019). "Healthy control participants were matched for age and sex with participants with PD. Participants with PD completed a single test session . . . , a test and a retest session . . . , or a test and two retest sessions . . . . HC participants completed test and retest sessions . . . . A participant with MSA-P . . . completed a test session" (Harrigan, et al., Quantitative continuous measurement of movements in the extremities, 2020). Fourteen trained raters who were certified in the Movement Disorder Society-Sponsored Revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) (Goetz, et al., 2008) were presented the output of the ten participants with PD who completed a single test session. Raters were presented two sets of 40 quizzes containing five representations for scoring of (A) output signals and FFTs and (B) CWTs. Each quiz contained contains the panels of the x, y, and z representations of the finger and wrist or the toe and ankle of the five repetitive tasks. Each panel to be scored included six images corresponding to the signals of the three dimensions of the two accelerometers on a single extremity. The laterality of the representations was not stated. Raters were presented five sets of six images of the original signal and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) or the continuous wavelet transforms (CWTs). Raters were presented either five panels of output signals and FFTs or CWTs. Panels did not include output signals and FFTs and CWTs simultaneously. Raters were instructed to score (A) output signals and FFTs and (B) CWTs analogously to the clinical coding forms as indicated the the instructions in the data. Raters were asked to complete ratings independently at convenient times during the week. Data can be compared and contrasted to comparable data from other locations.
