In conclusion, booklets are an effective educational media, and can be adapted for various target groups in an effort to increase knowledge about hypertension.
SH150357.07FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.
Teaching and Learning Eighth Grade Mathematics Integers Using Video Clips: An Action Research

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This study investigated the effectiveness of video clips in enhancing the learning achievement of eighth-grade students in mathematics at Sonamthang Lower Secondary School. An experimental method using a pre-test and post-test was employed as the research design. The experimental group comprised 28 eighth-grade students. Data were analysed in two parts: test score analysis and students’ opinion analysis. Paired sample t-test and descriptive statistics were computed using Google Sheets Add-on XLMiner Analysis ToolPak to determine the differences in the pre-test and post-test scores. The results revealed that the pre-test mean was statistically insignificant, while the post-test mean showed a significant difference between the experimental and control group. Therefore, the study concludes that the use of video clips enhances students’ test scores and also increases their ability to solve higher-order thinking questions. Further, students’ opinion analysis indicated a preference for learning mathematics using video clips. As such, it was recommended that teachers use video clips as an instructional tool to enhance students’ academic achievement and foster motivation.
Sexual selection in complex choruses : the interplay of male signal variation, social structure, and female mate choice

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Females in many species assess variation among males’ sexual signals when choosing mates. Despite substantial empirical data demonstrating this, the role of mate choice in the evolutionary elaboration of signals among natural systems is not well understood. A major challenge is that mate choice often occurs within complex, dynamic social networks such as leks and choruses, scenarios that combine multiple interacting males, multiattribute signals, and the emergence of spatial relationships, all with the potential to influence females’ decisions. \nI examined the interplay of males’ social associations and females’ mate choices in túngara frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus), a model system for female mate choice but for whom interactions between male competition and mate choice were unexplored. My aim was to understand ways in which this complexity might influence the relative mating success of advertising males and ultimately, sexual signaling evolution. \nI conducted field studies and behavioral experiments to deconstruct spatial and neighbor association preferences among males. I found that males are highly tuned to features of their competitors’ calls, exhibiting association biases that roughly paralleled females’ mate preferences, thus supporting a dual function of advertisement calls. I tested classic chorus formation models invoking conspecific association preferences and found that phonotaxis preferences support a central role for highly attractive “hotshot” males in social structuring. \nI then examined consequences of these interactions for females’ mate preferences. I first tested the importance of signalers’ spatial positions, showing centrality outweighs bout-leading benefits and substantially increases inferior males’ success. I then tested females’ susceptibility to “decoy effects” and demonstrated that mate preferences were similarly reversible by presenting females with an irrelevant third option. Finally, I explored preference patterns among multiattribute signals between males and females; I found that transitivity in females’ preferences broke down among superior signals, suggesting that cyclical competition may play a fundamental role in maintaining signal diversity. \nFemales’ preferences, in contrast with theoretical assumptions, exhibit substantial context-specificity, often paralleled by males’ strategies. These studies highlight the inextricable linkage between male competition and female mate choice and the importance of integration when assessing the opportunity for, and potency of, sexual selection via mate choice.

A glimpsing account for the benefit of simulated combined acoustic and electric hearing

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

The benefits of combined electric and acoustic stimulation (EAS) in terms of speech recognition in noise are well established; however the underlying factors responsible for this benefit are not clear. The present study tests the hypothesis that having access to acoustic information in the low frequencies makes it easier for listeners to glimpse the target. Normal-hearing listeners were presented with vocoded speech alone (V), low-pass (LP) filtered speech alone, combined vocoded and LP speech (LP+V) and with vocoded stimuli constructed so that the low-frequency envelopes were easier to glimpse. Target speech was mixed with two types of maskers (steady-state noise and competing talker) at −5 to 5dB signal-to-noise ratios. Results indicated no advantage of LP+V in steady noise, but a significant advantage over V in the competing talker background, an outcome consistent with the notion that it is easier for listeners to glimpse the target in fluctuating maskers. A significant improvement in performance was noted with the modified glimpsed stimuli over the original vocoded stimuli. These findings taken together suggest that a significant factor contributing to the EAS advantage is the enhanced ability to glimpse the target.
Modelling of lubricant ash particles in diesel engine exhaust

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Particulate emissions from diesel engines have been a key issue for diesel engine developers in recent decades. Their work has succeeded in reducing the exhaust particles from the combustion of fuel, which has led to increasing interest in the contribution of particulates from lubrication oil. When discussing oil-related particulate emissions, hydrocarbon particles are customarily referred to. This thesis uses a broader definition, in which oil-related particulate emissions are modelled not only by the hydrocarbons, but also include the ash, carbons, and sulphate oil particulate emissions. The model developed in the project uses input data as oil consumption and oil ash content combined with tuning parameters, such as the oil ash transfer rate (ash emissions divided by oil consumption and oil ash content). Controlled engine tests have been performed to verify assumptions and fill knowledge gaps. The model can be applied to a variety of diesel engines, although the tuning factors might have to be reset. For example, introducing diesel particulate filters would dramatically reduce the oil ash emissions, since oil ash would accumulate in the filter. Oil consumption has played a central role in the present research. The modelling results indicate that special attention should be paid to oil consumption under running conditions with a low in-cylinder temperature, since the oil survival rate is high there. Under low-load and motoring conditions, hydrocarbons proved to be the main contributor to oil-related particulate emissions. At high engine load, oil ash emissions were the largest contributor to oil-related particulate emissions.
A Static Field Equivalence Method for Simulation of Fitting Surface Electric Field of 500 kV DC Yards in Converter Stations

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The accurate calculation of the electric field under various working conditions is of great significance to the safe operation of the converter station. In order to improve accuracy of electric field simulation, in this paper, a static field equivalence method was studied for fittings' surface electric field simulation of converter station, the method adopting static field calculation equivalent to transient field calculation under different voltages is presented: the transient electric field can be equivalent to electrostatic electric field under switching of overvoltage; under the typical direct current (DC) voltage waveform of converter station, the transient electric field can be equivalent to the analysis of constant electric field. Two-dimensional (2D) axisymmetric finite element model of post insulator was used as a model to verify the proposed method. The influence on calculation accuracy of constant electric field was discussed. Finally, the method was applied to calculation of the full model of ±500 kV DC yards. Computational results showed that the proposed method could improve the calculation efficiency while retaining considerable accuracy.
Abalone Hemocyanin Blocks the Entry of Herpes Simplex Virus 1 into Cells: a Potential New Antiviral Strategy

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

ABSTRACT A marine-derived compound, abalone hemocyanin, from Haliotis rubra was shown to have a unique mechanism of antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infections. In vitro assays demonstrated the dose-dependent and inhibitory effect of purified hemocyanin against HSV-1 infection in Vero cells with a 50% effective dose (ED 50 ) of 40 to 50 nM and no significant toxicity. In addition, hemocyanin specifically inhibited viral attachment and entry by binding selectively to the viral surface glycoproteins gD, gB, and gC, probably by mimicking their receptors. However, hemocyanin had no effect on postentry events and did not block infection by binding to cellular receptors for HSV. By the use of different mutants of gD and gB and a competitive heparin binding assay, both protein charge and conformation were shown to be the driving forces of the interaction between hemocyanin and viral glycoproteins. These findings also suggested that hemocyanin may have different motifs for binding to each of the viral glycoproteins B and D. The dimer subunit of hemocyanin with a 10-fold-smaller molecular mass exhibited similar binding to viral surface glycoproteins, showing that the observed inhibition did not require the entire multimer. Therefore, a small hemocyanin analogue could serve as a new antiviral candidate for HSV infections.
10. Preparing the Mind. Preparing the Soul. The Fusion of Franciscan Thought into the Daily Lives of Friars in the Sacristy Decoration of Santa Croce, Florence

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Since the early medieval period, sacristies have been integral to the design of church complexes. In the case Santa Croce in Florence, the sacristy also functioned as a boundary between the public and private lives of the Franciscan friars that lived within the walls of the convent of Santa Croce. The imagery of the south wall sets the theme for the sacristy-the sacramental function of the Eucharistic gifts and the Christian promise of everlasting life. Of note are two quatrefoils that speak directly to the interactive theme of the sacristy. The first is the Crib at Greccio, which recalls an episode in the life of the saint where Francis sees a vision of the birth of Christ and begins to recreate a live nativity scene there in the church. In the cupboard quatrefoil, St. Francis and the Christ child are marginalized and relegated to the lower right of the panel. Keywords:Christ child; Florence; Franciscan Friars; Sacristy Decoration; Santa Croce; St. Francis

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A series of tetracarboxamide Schiff base and macrocyclic pentaazapyridines has been prepared from 3,5-bis(N-(1-hydrazinyl-1-oxo-3-phenylpropan-2-yl))pyridine carboxamide 4 as starting material, which was synthesized from 3,5-dinicotinic acid 1. Treatment of 4 with 1,4-diaminobutane, 1,6-diaminohexane or cycloalkanone derivatives gave the corresponding macrocyclic tetracarboxamides 5a and 5b, and cycloalkyl Schiff bases 6a-6c, respectively. Treatment of 4 with acetophenone or acetylpyridine derivatives gave the corresponding Schiff bases 7a-7e and 8a-8c, respectively. Carboxylic acid hydrazide 4 was treated with acid anhydrides in glacial acetic acid to afford the corresponding diimide tetracarboxamides 9-11, respectively. The structures of newly synthesized compounds are established by physical and spectral data evidences. Some of the synthesized compounds were screened as antimicrobial agents.

Netzahualcoyonol from Salacia multiflora (Lam.) DC. (Celastraceae) roots as a bioactive compound against gram-positive pathogens

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The expression of virulence factors, such as biofilm formation, in association with the acquisition of resistance to multiple drugs, has evidenced the need for new and effective antimicrobial agents against Staphylococcus aureus. The evaluation of the pharmacological properties of plant-derived compounds is a promising alternative to the development of new antimicrobials. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and the synergistic and cytotoxic effects of netzahualcoyonol isolated from Salacia multiflora (Lam.) DC. roots. Netzahualcoyonol presented bacteriostatic (1.56–25.0 µg/mL) and bactericidal (25.0–400.0 µg/mL) effects against Gram-positive bacteria, disrupted the biofilm of S. aureus, and presented a synergistic effect after its combination with β-lactams and aminoglycosides. The low cytotoxicity of netzahualcoyonol (Selectivity Index (SI) for S. aureus (2.56), S. saprophyticus (20.56), and Bacillus subtilis (1.28)) suggests a good security profile. Taken together, these results show that netzahualcoyonol is promising for the development of a new effective antibacterial agent. Graphical abstract
The development of GDSS to support group decision making through the improvement of the participation of Thai graduate students

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This research discusses the development of Group Decision Support System (GDSS) software with updated functionalities that may enhance group interaction in a face-to-face brainstorming mode. Some of the functionalities include multi-language simultaneous input capabilities, including Thai, and the utilization of generic keyboard connections via USB. The developed software aims to facilitate, enhance and improve the level and efficiency of participatory learning of mixed groups of Thai and foreign students. This enhanced GDSS may also be used in a business group decision-making environment. Furthermore, to overcome the shy nature of Thai people, the option of a non-identification of participant features is integrated into this GDSS. A pilot study has been conducted to exchange ideas, comments or solutions regarding assigned topics in an actual classroom setting / brainstorming session in order to investigate the learning effectiveness and the overall users' satisfaction with the software support. The enhanced software makes the designed GDSS more generic and suitable for not only graduate classroom environments but also for most types of group decision support approaches, such as consensus business decision making, strategic goal planning in particular with regards to multicultural and multilingual environments. The research outcomes may also lead to identifying preferred features required of a GDSS facilitator in the future.

Effect of Ti content on energy storage properties of (Pb0.87Ba0.10La0.02)(Zr0.60Sn0.40-xTix)O3 bulk ceramics

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

(Pb0.87Ba0.10La0.02)(Zr0.60Sn0.40-xTix)O3(PLBZST) (x = 0–0.20) bulk ceramics were prepared by the conventional solid state method, and the dependence of phase transformation, ferroelectric properties and energy storage properties on x values has been investigated. When x = 0.12, the unit cell volume significant change indicted the phase transformation of the ceramics. As x = 0.04–0.10, the PLBZST ceramics possess anti-ferroelectric phase with high recoverable energy storage density 0.8–1.3 j/cm3 and when x = 0.12–0.20, the ceramics with ferroelectric phase have lower density values about 0.2–0.3 j/cm3. The phase switching electric field, saturation polarization and test temperature have an important influence on energy storage density and efficiency. As a result, the PLBZST bulk ceramics exhibit the largest recoverable energy density of 1.3 j/cm3 with efficiency of 77.4% at 20°C.
