Deliquescence behavior of organic/ammonium sulfate aerosol

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

Recent studies have shown that tropospheric aerosols composed of internal mixtures of organics with sulfates are quite common with the organic composing up to 50% of the particle mass. The influences of the organics on the chemical and physical properties of the aerosol are not known. In this paper, we report the solubility of a series of dicarboxylic acids in saturated ammonium sulfate solution as a function of temperature. We also report the deliquescence relative humidity (DRH) of the pure dicarboxylic acids and of mixtures of dicarboxylic acids with ammonium sulfate. For the systems studied, we find that the presence of water‐soluble dicarboxylic acids caused deliquescence to occur at a lower relative humidity (RH) than pure ammonium sulfate. In contrast, the less soluble dicarboxylic acids had no measurable effect on the deliquescence relative humidity of ammonium sulfate.
Predictors of Electronic Government Services Adoption: The African Students’ Perspective in China

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This study investigated the willingness of African students in China to adopt and use e-government services. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was used as the theoretical framework for this study while the data were analyzed with SPSS. The results indicate that performance expectancy, social influence, culture, and facilitating conditions were significant in determining the willingness to use e-government services. Contrarily to our expectations, effort expectancy, trust in the internet and perceived service quality were not significant in influencing the willingness to use e-government services. Also, while social influence had a significant influence on the trust in the internet, it was, however, demonstrated that social influence does not have a significant impact on both the effort expectancy and performance expectancy of e-government services. The implications of these and other result findings of this study are thoroughly discussed.
ERSA 2011 Special Session: Turkish Cases in Contemporary Issues/ Dimensions for Regional Development

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The aim of this paper is to analyze interregional disparities and the performance of peripheral/lessdeveloped regions in Turkey regarding the current tools of regional policies. During the planning period in Turkey, two main goals are defined as „maximizing national income‟ on the one hand, and „reducing interregional disparities‟ on the other. But even in the development plans, it is accepted that no more progress has been made other than the affirmation of the existence of interregional disparities. Therefore, this paper tries to re-examine the regional disparities under the light of regional development policies. However, the availability of data limits the period of the analysis for new regional development framework. Mostly the studies on regional disparities consider economic dimensions and the results indicate that the distribution of GDP per capita highlights the easternspatial peripherality of the regional development pattern in Turkey. A previous study by the author emphasizes two significant points for regional policies. First, there is evidence of a strengthening of a two-regime spatial division in the country; secondly, there would appear to be little evidence of positive spillovers from the more-developed to the less-developed parts of the country. In this paper, evolutions since 1980 of regions in terms of their performances will be examined. The main questions of the paper are: “Which regions can be defined as winners and losers?” and “Is there any differentiation among less developed regions?”. Furthermore, we explore the factors which underlie the aggregate trends of the regions, since we know the importance of region-specific policies. The findings of the analyses are discussed with respect to new regional policies in Turkey.

A. ; Haschick, A. D. ; Buckley, D. ; Schmelz, J. T. Abstract Extragalactic absorption of hydroxyl is reported for the galaxies NGC 520, NGC 2623, and NGC 6240. H I absorption has also been detected in these galaxies. The properties of the H I and OH absorption features are compared for these galaxies and for other galaxies with absorption in both OH and H I. the hyperfine ratio for the 1667 and 1665 MHz hydroxyl transitions for most extragalactic absorption lines falls within LTE range. The characteristics of extragalactic OH absorption lines are consistent with the existence of dense molecular disks in the inner parts of the galaxies. An asymmetry in a number of extragalactic OH absorption lines suggests a peculiar velocity structure for the absorbing molecular disk.

Taphonomic Trajectory of Diagenesis: How Site Formation Should Inform Biological Sampling Strategies for Isotopic Studies of Ancestors

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

ABSTRACT Objectives Stable isotope analyses of archaeological bone have become an increasingly common research avenue for interpreting past human behavior. To ensure reliable isotope data is used for interpretations, bone samples must meet quality control standards. The common quality control measures for bone samples rely on post‐sampling destructive approaches. As increasing attention is focused on the ethical use of Ancestors in anthropological research, sampling strategies should prioritize minimal impact to individuals that are less likely to yield viable data for research projects supported by descendant communities. Materials and Methods Here, I use previously published stable isotope and diagenesis measures from the Vineyards at Marsh Creek Site (CA‐CCO‐548), supported through tribal consultation and approved by the Most Likely Descendent, as a case study to highlight how geoarchaeology can inform the taphonomic trajectories of individual burials or groups of burials within distinct site formation processes. Results Isotope quality control measures indicate that burials located in a context of rapid sedimentation had a higher rate of good bone preservation (100% for collagen and 82% for bioapatite) compared to burials from a stratigraphic context of slow sedimentation in older alluvial deposits (73% for collagen and 63% for bioapatite). Discussion Bone preservation corresponds to patterns in site stratigraphy, therefore geoarchaeological data can be used to inform the sampling strategies, rather than relying on post‐processing destructive methods for diagenesis assessment. Sampling strategies should become increasingly reliant on contextual information based on nuanced analyses (i.e., geoarchaeology) of local burial environments to better understand the taphonomic trajectory of bone.
Going back and beyond: children’s learning through places

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In 1919, the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC) established the Elementary Correspondence (EC) School to provide formal education for children living in rural areas with difficult access to a school. Through children's letters, this paper interrogates the concept of place, a key one for placed-based approaches to environmental education. Place-based education has focused on natural and rural environments to engage students in environmental learning, sometimes presenting the desirability of connectedness to nature and the local community with nostalgia and romanticism. Children's letters suggest that their learning has long been shaped by their places, material and imaginary, and that the EC school was a place as important as nature in children's learning and schooling. Children's letters contribute a rich historical perspective that helps to rethink the rural/urban divide into a relationship of mutual constitution of childhood and nature across time and space.

Part II: What Are These Safety Concerns?

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

All children should feel safe and secure in their schools and communities. In today's society, children are dealing with the threat of violence in their schools and online, food insecurity, environmental risks, terrorism, and many other concerns that make them feel less safe. Our jobs as teachers and parents is to manage that risk by being prepared and protecting our children. In this book, Betsy Gunzelmann discusses the ways we can plan ahead and prepare for these threats in order to help our children feel safer and be able to focus on their school and lives.
Assessing the risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

ype 2 diabetes is a disease full of risk, with patients having a 2‐4-fold increased risk of coronary heart disease and stroke and no less than 30% of patients will have some evidence of a nephropathy. 1 Diabetic retinopathy is the commonest cause of blindness in people of working age in the UK. 1 Countering these risks is a key agenda for primary care. Life expectancy is reduced by up to 10 years, on average, in patients with type 2 diabetes. 2 Pathogenesis of the increased risk in type 2 diabetes To assess risk one must first understand the pathogenesis of the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a complicated metabolic disease ‐ the hyperglycaemia being but a reflection of a much wider biochemical disturbance. The underlying defect responsible for the complex changes multiplying risk (particularly cardiovascular risk) in diabetes is insulin resistance and the fundamental changes occurring as a result of insulin resistance are grouped together as the ‘Insulin Resistance or Metabolic Syndrome’. As the name implies insulin resistance is a decreased sensitivity of tissues to the action of insulin. The body responds to insulin resistance by producing more insulin (resulting in hyperinsulinaemia) but eventually the beta cells fail to respond to the challenge and the blood glucose concentration rises. Obesity causes insulin resistance and is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes and is one of the components of the metabolic syndrome. The components of the syndrome are shown in table 1, and these lead to an accelerated rate of atherosclerosis. The mechanisms by which the hyperinsulinaemia and insulin resistance result in hypertension, dyslipidaemia and increased coagulability of the blood are complex and the result of ongoing research, but we do know that insulin resistance is at the heart of the metabolic changes. Indeed, it can be shown that hyperinsulinaemia itself is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. 3
TRENDS IN MIGRATION, UNEMPLOYMENT AND POPULATION: A POST-COVID-19 FORECAST OF CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IN THE GAMBIA

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

As a developing economy, three major economic problems witnessed in the Gambia are the growing unemployment rate, migration (immigration and rural–urban drift) leading to urban population growth and the growing semi-skilled working population in the face of unemployment. This study seeks to answer the question of how the Gambian economy can plan to overcome these problems, coupled with post-COVID-19 global economic shocks, through a technically planned capacity development. In this paper, the trends in variables representing capacity development indicators, migration, unemployment and working population in the Gambia are studied using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. To project a system of interrelationship among these variables in the Gambia, the study employs the Vector Autoregressive (VAR) forecast analysis for the period between 1990 and 2019, thereafter generates a five-year forecast. The findings confirm that investment into the educational sector in developing economies is bound to yield increasing return to scale in the next five years. Investment into education, training and skill acquisition, if done, will attract the transfer of technical and managerial skills and technology for the purpose of building up general national capacity in such a developing economy.
Heritage Language Learners and Technology-Mediated Learning

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This chapter provides an overview of how adult heritage language learners engage with technology-mediated instruction, with a particular focus on task-based language teaching. A key argument is the relevant role that heritage language learners’ prior language experience plays when they interact in virtual courses as well as in technology-mediated task-based instructional contexts. A summary of up-to-date findings is discussed to begin shedding light into heritage language learners’ response to technology-mediated instruction and to address future lines of research in this area.
FORMATION PRESSURE ESTIMATION FROM THE DYNAMICS OF RECOVERY RATE AND BOTTOM-HOLE PRESSURES

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

When interpreting pressure curves in various software packages, the initial reservoir pressure is determined before a given production history. Formation pressure dynamics can be determined only with completely closed formation boundaries. At the same time, changing the operating modes of neighboring wells leads to a change in reservoir pressure in the drainage area of the studied well for long-term pressure records. In this regard, there is a need to calculate not only the initial, but also later reservoir pressures in the absence of closed reservoir boundaries.To solve this problem, two methods have been proposed for estimating reservoir pressure from long pressure and flow rate curves for any type of boundaries and reservoir:— by dividing the curve into sections with different skin factors, further recalculating the change in skin difference to the change in reservoir pressure (does not work for closed borders);— by recalculation through the calculated well productivity.The first method is recommended to be used for unsteady modes, the second — when pseudo-steady modes are reached.Approbation for 19 wells confirmed that the main criterion for the applicability of both methods is the relative constancy of productivity and properties of the bottomhole zone of the formation, i.e. the absence of winder, pilot injection, hydraulic fracturing, etc., in the studied area of the time, the absence of a multiple change in production rate when changing operating modes, there are also another number of restrictions, such as the presence of an individual means of measuring production rate on the well (SKZ or one lug per GZU) and the use of only one measuring instrument, the duration of the time between the measured and calculated reservoir pressures is not recommended for more than six months, wells with SHSNU are not recommended for calculations, due to the long time to reach the mode, but if there are GIK records and compliance with the main criteria, formation pressure can be estimated.These methods are auxiliary and do not replace real formation pressure measurements.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE AGE AND THE VIABILITY OF POLLEN IN DIFFERENT CUCURBITS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Of three species of cultivated cucurbits viz. Cucurbita Pepo Linn., C. maxima Duchesne, and C. moschata Duchesne, the last is the most popularly grown throughout Japan. Cultivation of the other two species is rather limited to the northern part. As the blooming period of C. moschata falls in the rainy season in the main growing districts in this country, very poor setting of fruit occasionally results. Accordingly artificial pollination is often of practical importance, and successful pollination is held to be secured only in the earlier part of the day.In connexion with this point, germination tests of pollen at various ages of the flower have been made with different cultural varieties belonging to the respective species as given below.Cucurbita maxima: Hubbard, Delicious.C. moschata: Shishigatani, Chirimen, Bizen-ko-kabocha.C. Pepo: Sômen, Pumpkin.An appropriate medium for the pollen of C. moschata and C. maxima was prepared from 1.5 per cent agar-agar dissolved in a 50/100M solution of sucrose by boiling, its hydrogen-ion concentration being adjusted to pH 5.5. For C. Pepo, a medium of 6 per cent gelatine in 45/100M sucrose solution adjusted to pH 5.9 was the best.The rate of germination tested in the afternoon was generally higher with the pollen of a flower-bud which was ready to open the next day than with that of an open flower. In the case of Shishigatani variety, the percentage of germination with pollen taken out from the flower-buds increased gradually with the lapse of time from morning till 9p.m. on the day before anthesis; it decreased slowly up to the blooming time early the next morning and then rapidly until 10a.m. of the same day. Pollen of Chirimen variety sustained its high germinative power during the forenoon after anthesis, but the reduction of its viability in the afternoon was prompt. From these features in C. maschata, the empirical rule that the pollination has to be done early in the morning seems reasonable. If the artificial pollination must be postponed to the afternoon, a satisfactory setting may be expected by pollination with the pollen of buds which are due to open the next day.In the pollen of Hubbard, a high rate of germination was proved up to the evening after blooming. This agrees with BUSHNELL'S conclusion that successful pollination is possible at any time of the day.
Data from Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and Mutant p53 Expand an Esophageal Cellular Subpopulation Capable of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition through ZEB Transcription Factors

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

<div>Abstract<p>Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a potent inducer of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, it remains elusive about which molecular mechanisms determine the cellular capacity to undergo EMT in response to TGF-β. We have found that both epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression and mutant <i>p53</i> tumor suppressor genes contribute to the enrichment of an EMT-competent cellular subpopulation among telomerase-immortalized human esophageal epithelial cells during malignant transformation. EGFR overexpression triggers oncogene-induced senescence, accompanied by the induction of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p15<sup>INK4B</sup>, p16<sup>INK4A</sup>, and p21. Interestingly, a subpopulation of cells emerges by negating senescence without loss of EGFR overexpression. Such cell populations express increased levels of zinc finger E-box binding (ZEB) transcription factors ZEB1 and ZEB2, and undergo EMT on TGF-β stimulation. Enrichment of EMT-competent cells was more evident in the presence of <i>p53</i> mutation, which diminished EGFR-induced senescence. RNA interference directed against ZEB resulted in the induction of p15<sup>INK4B</sup> and p16<sup>INK4A</sup>, reactivating the EGFR-dependent senescence program. Importantly, TGF-β–mediated EMT did not take place when cellular senescence programs were activated by either ZEB knockdown or the activation of wild-type p53 function. Thus, senescence checkpoint functions activated by EGFR and p53 may be evaded through the induction of ZEB, thereby allowing the expansion of an EMT-competent unique cellular subpopulation, providing novel mechanistic insights into the role of ZEB in esophageal carcinogenesis.
