Renewable energy sources ,TJ807-830 - Abstract
Hydrocarbons contamination of the marine environment generated by the offshore oil and gas industry is generated from a number of sources including oil contaminated drill cuttings and produced waters. The removal of hydrocarbons from both these sources is one of the most significant challenges facing this sector as it moves towards zero emissions. The application of a number of techniques which have been used to successfully destroy hydrocarbons in produced water and waste water effluents has previously been reported. This paper reports the application of semiconductor photocatalysis as a final polishing step for the removal of hydrocarbons from two waste effluent sources. Two reactor concepts were considered: a simple flat plate immobilised film unit, and a new rotating drum photocatalytic reactor. Both units proved to be effective in removing residual hydrocarbons from the effluent with the drum reactor reducing the hydrocarbon content by 90% under 10 minutes.

Sociology and Political Science ,General Veterinary - Abstract
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) is a global phenomenon with serious implications for biodiversity conservation and human well-being. Innovative solutions demand greater attention to the social factors contributing to HWC, including human thought and behavior, which can be examined through the lens of social psychology. Using the case of human-coyote conflict in North America, this study employed a mixed-methods social psychology approach to explore the potential for citizen science to serve as a tool for HWC mitigation. Quantitative surveys and interviews with volunteers in a coyote-focused citizen science program in Colorado revealed that the program is positively affecting participants’ attitudes/beliefs and empowering them to take action to address conflicts in their communities. The article concludes with recommendations for future evaluative research in this area as well as ways to more generally improve social-psychology applications in wildlife conservation.

Hypothyroidism is caused by deficient thyroid hormone production secondary to autoimmune disease or insufficient iodine consumption or as a complication of hyperthyroidism management. Signs and symptoms include fatigue, weight gain, dry skin, constipation, and cold intolerance. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found insufficient evidence to recommend for or against screening for hypothyroidism, but some organizations support screening in special populations. If hypothyroidism is suspected, initial laboratory evaluation consists of a serum thyrotropin (TSH) measurement with reflex testing of free thyroxine (T

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) helps regulate calcium homeostasis in a complex relationship with the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, bone, and parathyroid glands. Abnormalities in PTH production can result in many conditions, including hypoparathyroidism, and primary, secondary, and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. Management of each abnormality centers on maintaining normal or near-normal serum calcium values to prevent complications. Most cases of hypoparathyroidism are caused by neck surgery and may result in acute hypocalcemia. Patients with chronic hypoparathyroidism are treated with a combination of calcium, vitamin D analogs, and, occasionally, exogenous PTH. A single parathyroid adenoma causes most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, with multiglandular disease and cancer as other possible etiologies. All patients with symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism and many with asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism undergo partial or full parathyroidectomy to correct the underlying condition. Chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) is the most common cause of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism, in which hypocalcemia stimulates PTH production. Most patients with CKD-MBD are treated medically with phosphate binders, vitamin D analogs, and calcimimetics, but rare cases are managed with parathyroidectomy. Severe calcium or vitamin D deficiency also causes secondary hyperparathyroidism and is managed with calcium and vitamin D replacement.

Thyroid nodules are identified incidentally on imaging in most patients. Controversy exists on which patients warrant evaluation of an incidental thyroid nodule. If further assessment of a nodule detected on imaging or examination is pursued, thyroid ultrasonography with cervical lymph node survey and measurement of serum thyrotropin (TSH) may guide management decisions. When the TSH level is low, a nuclear medicine thyroid scan is necessary. Based on size, ultrasonographic features, and nuclear medicine results, patients with thyroid nodules may undergo ultrasonographic surveillance or biopsy with fine-needle aspiration. When fine-needle aspiration is performed, the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC) provides a classification system for biopsy results. Molecular testing can be considered in the case of nodules with indeterminate findings based on biopsy. Malignant thyroid nodules and indeterminate nodules with suspicious molecular test results warrant surgical evaluation, whereas others may be monitored with periodic ultrasonography. Approximately 10% of nodules are clinically significant malignancies, and a small number of nodules cause compressive symptoms or progress to functional thyroid disease. Thyroid cancer overall has a 5-year survival of 98%.

General Medicine - Abstract
Primary and secondary sexual characters of Mesostigmata are often used in species descriptions and phylogenetic analyses. The use of these characters has been focused almost exclusively on external structures such as the male chelicera and genital plates, while internal structures have only been utilized for lightly sclerotized species.

- Abstract
Junior associate Elizabeth Taylor has just landed her dream job at New York City's largest and most elite law firm. Situated on the top floor of a Manhattan skyrise, it's everything this Southern girl could want. She's determined to prove herself, but when Lizzy meets managing partner Darcy Hammond during orientation, her focus begins to shift to her undeniable attraction. Soon, Lizzy is actively flirting, and much to her surprise, Darcy reciprocates. No matter—nothing ever came from a little harmless banter...right? Darcy Hammond is strictly business. She doesn't have time for distractions, no matter how good they may look in a pencil skirt. As the youngest and only female managing partner, she has both hands full. But when Elizabeth catches her eye, Darcy goes against her better judgment and puts her on as co-counsel for a huge upcoming trial. As the line between business and pleasure blurs, the jury is out on whether getting up close and personal will lead to the love of a lifetime, or career disaster.

Background and Objectives: Hepatitis C (HCV) is a commonly diagnosed disease state in primary care. Regimen simplification has made eradication possible with improvements in treatment and improved access through primary care physician (PCP) education. Little has been published discussing the role of resident physicians in the treatment of HCV. We implemented an HCV treatment program to increase access to HCV care, identify effective training methods, and examine the efficacy of resident physician treatment. Objectives were to increase the number of patients treated, improve resident confidence in ability to treat HCV, and increase the likelihood that they will continue to treat patients after graduation. Methods: A curriculum to train physicians to treat HCV was developed and implemented in a large family medicine residency program. This was a single-center implementation, with a retrospective chart review of patient data and anonymous survey of clinicians for curriculum assessment. We analyzed data using descriptive statistics. Results: The resident physician survey had a 92.3% response rate (n=36). Precurriculum, 94.4% of residents were not confident in their ability to treat HCV. After program implementation, 25% of residents were confident in treating HCV. The most effective educational interventions involved the multidisciplinary team. To date, 30 patients have started treatment since 2017. Of the patients who completed treatment, 23 patients achieved a virologic cure. Conclusion: Treating patients for HCV at a residency clinic increased physician confidence in evaluating and addressing this chronic disease and resulted in a cure of all patients treated.

Objective Describe the characteristics and pharmacological management of hypertensive patients in a Nicaraguan ambulatory care clinic. Methods The study analyzed a random sample of 349 charts of patients aged older than 18 years from an ambulatory care clinic in Nicaragua and analyzed those who were diagnosed or had a known history of hypertension. Results Out of 349 patients, 19.77% (n=69) had a history of hypertension. Hypertensive patients were 66.2% female (n=45) with mean age of 56.1 years (SD=13.7). The most common comorbid condition was type 2 diabetes mellitus, which was present in 18.8% (n=13) of hypertensive patients. Other comorbid conditions included 10% (n=7) with chronic kidney disease and 75.8% (n=50) who were either overweight or obese. The most commonly prescribed antihypertensive medications were losartan, captopril, and enalapril. Conclusions Hypertension is common in this clinic population and most commonly treated with angiotension-receptor blockers or angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors.

Measurements of differential top quark pair $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ cross sections using events produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV containing two oppositely charged leptons are presented. The data were recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The differential cross sections are presented as functions of kinematic observables of the top quarks and their decay products, the $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ system, and the total number of jets in the event. The differential cross sections are defined both with particle-level objects in a fiducial phase space close to that of the detector acceptance and with parton-level top quarks in the full phase space. All results are compared with standard model predictions from Monte Carlo simulations with next-to-leading-order (NLO) accuracy in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at matrix-element level interfaced to parton-shower simulations. Where possible, parton-level results are compared to calculations with beyond-NLO precision in QCD. Significant disagreement is observed between data and all predictions for several observables. The measurements are used to constrain the top quark chromomagnetic dipole moment in an effective field theory framework at NLO in QCD and to extract $\mathrm{t\overline{t}}$ and leptonic charge asymmetries., Comment: Replaced with the published version. Added the journal reference and the DOI.

- Abstract
This book represents the wisdom of many professionals from Intermountain, the oldest child welfare agency in Montana. In its 105-year existence, Intermountain has developed a way of understanding children and families that helps them heal. Our treatment approach has at its center the principle that what is harmed by relationship must be healed by relationship. It is our job as adults to be the healing agent for children by understanding the need that the child is expressing. The science of child development acknowledges that each age of development can represent growth and regression, and this is particularly true of children who have experienced loss, trauma, or emotional distress. The understanding of child development, particularly as it may go askew, is crucial in understanding how to frame and proceed in the healing relationship. We call Intermountain's approach, which developed over the past thirty-three years, a developmental/ relational approach.Our hope is that parents might read this book before adopting or fostering, but we realize that the heart often leads the head, so you may be coming to this book after you have made the heroic decision to bring a child into your home. We want this book to give you the tools to understand yourself and your child, so you can become the strongest family you can be. The first chapters are designed to help you see yourself and your own strengths and weaknesses, and then to see the world through your child's eyes, for only then will your relationship with your child be a healing one. The second part of the book provides methods to help your child negotiate the world and your relationship in positive ways. So, we invite you into the world of your own hopes, fears, wants, and needs, and those of your child. These may be two very different worlds at first, but they can come together and coalesce into one compassionate, forgiving, and loving world.

Border security challenges and immigration issues are increasing considerably in recent years. Counterfeiting and fraudulent use of identity and other travel documents are posing serious threats and safety concerns worldwide, ever since the advancement of computers, photocopiers, printers and scanners. Considering the current scenario of illegal migration and terrorism across the world, advanced technologies and improved security features are essential to enhance border security and to enable smooth transits. In this paper, we present a novel dual waveguide based invisible fluorescence security feature and a simple validation system to elevate and strengthen the security at border controls. The validation system consists of an LED (light emitting diode) as excitation source and an array photodetector which helps in the simultaneous detection of multiple features from the fluorescence waveguides. The fluorescence waveguides can be embedded into the identity document as micro-threads or tags which are invisible to the naked eye and are only machine readable. In order to improve the sensitivity, rare earth fluorescence materials are used which absorb only specific ultraviolet (UV) or visible (VIS) wavelengths to create corresponding fluorescent emission lines in the visible or infrared wavelengths. Herein, we present the preliminary results based on the fluorescence spectroscopic studies carried out on the fabricated rare earth doped waveguides. The effect of different rare earth concentrations and excitation wavelengths on the fluorescence intensity were investigated.

This paper describes a novel doped titania immobilised thin film multi tubular photoreactor which has been developed for use with liquid, vapour or gas phase media. In designing photocatalytic reactors measuring active surface area of photocatalyst within the unit is one of the critical design parameters. This dictate greatly limits the applicability of any semi-conductor photocatalyst in industrial applications, as a large surface area equates to a powder catalyst. This demonstration of a thin film coating, doped with a rare earth element, novel photoreactor design produces a photocatalytic degradation of a model pollutant (methyl orange) which displayed a comparable degradation achieved with P25 TiO 2 . The use of lanthanide doping is reported here in the titania sol gel as it is thought to increase the electron hole separation therefore widening the potential useful wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum. Increasing doping from 0.5% to 1.0% increased photocatalytic degradation by ∼17% under visible irradiation. A linear relationship has been seen between increasing reactor volume and degradation which would not normally be observed in a typical suspended reactor system.

The International Year of Light 2015 was designed to raise awareness of light sciences. In order to raise awareness, events were encouraged to get the public involved. Both Central Carolina Community College (CCCC) and Indian River State College (IRSC) held a total of three lectures in 2015 celebrating the IYL 2015. IRSC hosted lectures on March 6th and June 11th. CCCC hosted a lecture on November 17th. These lectures drew a total of over 400 attendees. Lectures revolved around their own unique themes relating to light sciences in industry and academia. With great support from Laser-Tec, SPIE, and NSF, these lectures were successful at exposing and advertising the optics field to the public, as well as promising up-and-coming students. These lectures hosted several keynote speakers on behalf of both industry and academia. The speakers were successful at keeping the audience engaged through presentations and question-and-answer sessions. In addition, lab tours allowed the attendees a chance to see the programs in action. Many takeaways will prove to be invaluable when pursuing such events in the future. This paper will not only speak to the tremendous success of these lectures, but will take an honest look at the areas for improvement. It is important to note that independent events can be held for the expansion of local programs leading to national, if not global, increase in communal awareness and participation. These events will serve as a continuation for what the IYL 2015 was designed.

With advancements in the development of visible light responsive catalysts for H2 production frequently being reported, photocatalytic water splitting has become an attractive method as a potential ‘solar fuel generator’. The development of novel photo reactors which can enhance the potential of such catalyst, however, is rarely reported. This is particularly important as many reactor configurations are mass transport limited, which in turn limits the efficiency of more effective photocatalysts in larger scale applications. This paper describes the performance of a novel fluidised photo reactor for the production of H2 over two catalysts under UV–Visible light and natural solar illumination. Catalysts Pt-C3N4 and NaTaO3·La were dispersed in the reactor and the rate of H2 was determined by GC-TCD analysis of the gas headspace. The unit was an annular reactor constructed from stainless steel 316 and quartz glass with a propeller located in the base to control fluidisation of powder catalysts. Reactor properties such as propeller rotational speed were found to enhance the photo activity of the system through the elimination of mass transport limitations and increasing light penetration. The optimum conditions for H2 evolution were found to be a propeller rotational speed of 1035 rpm and 144 W of UV–Visible irradiation, which produced a rate of 89 μmol h−1 g−1 over Pt-C3N4. Solar irradiation was provided by the George Ellery Hale Solar Telescope, located at the California Institute of Technology. Publisher PDF

Research in the field of photocatalytic reactors in the past three decades has been an area of extensive and diverse activity with an extensive range of suspended and fixed film photocatalyst configurations being reported. The key considerations for photocatalytic reactors, however, remain the same; effective mass transfer of pollutants to the photocatalyst surface and effective deployments and illumination of the photocatalyst. Photocatalytic reactors have the potential versatility to be applied to the remediation of a range of water and gaseous effluents. Furthermore they have also been applied to the treatment of potable waters. The scale-up of photocatalytic reactors for waste and potable water treatment plants has also been demonstrated. Systems for the reduction of carbon dioxide to fuel products have also been reported. This paper considers the main photocatalytic reactor configurations that have been reported to date.

A novel photocatalytic reactor has been developed to remediate oily wastewaters. In the first instance degradation rates of model organic compounds, methylene blue (MB) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) were determined. The experimental set-up investigated a 1:10 w/v catalyst to organic solution volume, 30 g catalyst, 300 mls MB (10 μM) or 4-CP (100 μM). The catalyst investigated was a pellet catalyst to improve separation of the remediated volume from the catalyst following treatment. MB concentration decreased by 93% after 15 mins irradiation whilst 4-CP concentration decreased by 94% following 90 mins irradiation. Oily waste water (OWW) from an interceptor tank typically containing diesel oils was obtained from Sureclean, an environmental clean-up company. The OWW was treated using the same conditions as MB and 4-CP, the model organic compounds. Levels of total organic carbon (TOC) and total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) were used to monitor the efficacy of the photocatalytic reactor. TOC reduced by 45% followin...

The water treatment capability of a novel photocatalytic slurry reactor was investigated using methylene blue (MB) as a model pollutant in an aqueous suspension. A pellet TiO2 catalyst was employed and this freed the system from the need of filtration of catalyst following photocatalysis. This configuration combines the high surface area contact of catalyst with pollutant of the slurry reactor and also offers a high illumination of catalyst by its unique array of weir-like baffles. In this work, the batch adsorption of MB from aqueous solution (10 μM) onto the TiO2 catalyst was studied, adsorption isotherms and kinetics were determined from the experimental data. Complete degradation of MB was achieved within 60 min illumination with various loadings of catalyst (30–200 g L−1). A modest catalyst loading (30 g L−1) achieved 98% degradation within 60 min of irradiation. Experimental results indicate that this novel reactor configuration has a high effective mass transfer rate and UV light penetration characteristics.

The use of photocatalysis for the photosplitting of water to generate hydrogen and oxygen has gained interest as a method for the conversion and storage of solar energy. The application of photocatalysis through catalyst engineering, mechanistic studies and photoreactor development has highlighted the potential of this technology, with the number of publications significantly increasing in the past few decades. In 1972 Fujishima and Honda described a photoelectrochemical system capable of generating H2 and O2 using thin-film TiO2. Since this publication, a diverse range of catalysts and platforms have been deployed, along with a varying range of photoreactors coupled with photoelectrochemical and photovoltaic technology. This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive overview of photocatalytic technology applied to overall H2O splitting. An insight into the electronic and geometric structure of catalysts is given based upon the one- and two-step photocatalyst systems. One-step photocatalysts are discussed based upon their d0 and d10 electron configuration and core metal ion including transition metal oxides, typical metal oxides and metal nitrides. The two-step approach, referred to as the Z-scheme, is discussed as an alternative approach to the traditional one-step mechanism, and the potential of the system to utilise visible and solar irradiation. In addition to this the mechanistic procedure of H2O splitting is reviewed to provide the reader with a detailed understanding of the process. Finally, the development of photoreactors and reactor properties are discussed with a view towards the photoelectrochemical splitting of H2O.

Farming of salmon has become a significant industry in many countries over the past two decades. A major challenge facing this sector is infestation of the salmon by sea lice. The main way of treating salmon for such infestations is the use of medicines such as organophosphates, pyrethrins, hydrogen peroxide or benzoylphenyl ureas. The use of these medicines in fish farms is, however, highly regulated due to concerns about contamination of the wider marine environment. In this paper we report the use of photochemically active biocides for the treatment of a marine copepod, which is a model of parasitic sea lice. Photochemical activation and subsequent photodegradation of PDAs may represent a controllable and environmentally benign option for control of these parasites or other pest organisms in aquaculture.

When an oil reservoir reaches the end of its production life the well which has been drilled to extract the oil must undergo completion or ldquowell abandonmentrdquo. Abandonment is the process whereby all the productive zones within the well are isolated with cement, removing some or all of the production tubing and setting a surface plug in the well with the top of the plug between 30 and 50 m below the mudline. The process of abandonment can be hampered if it is not possible to remove pipes from within the well casing. It is proposed that by lubricating the annulus, the space between the casing and pipe, it may be possible to extract problematic pipe work by reaching pressure equilibrium between the reservoir and annulus. Experiments have been carried out to investigate the mixing time of a heavy brine with water. This mixing is known as lubrication. Lubrication can be used to increase the pressure (or fluid weight) at the bottom of a well. When heavy brine is added at the top of a column of water the fluids will mix and the resulting fluid has a greater density than that of water which increases the pressure at the bottom of the well. The experiments were carried out in test rigs comprising of a clear plastic tube sealed at the lower end and connected to a Perspex tank by a ball valve at the top of the tube. The dimensions of the test rigs were chosen to be a scale representation of a typical oil well. The well geometry was simplified with the upper part of the tube vertical and the lower part of the tube inclined at an angle to the vertical with the joint occurring at roughly 60 % of the vertical distance from the top. The diameter of the tubing could not be scaled using the same length scale and so instead a number of tube diameters were tested. The ratio of fluid volumes above and below the circulation point was conserved with the brine volume being equal to 75 % of the water volume; i.e. a 3:4 ratio. The pressure at the lower end of the tube was measured using a piezoelectric sensor inserted through the centre of the plug sealing the end of the tube. Tests were carried out for 10 mm, 20 mm, 40 mm, 60 mm and 100 mm diameter tubes. The aim of these tests was to demonstrate the relationship between tube diameter and time taken to reach equilibrium. For all of these tests the total vertical distance from the top of the tube to the pressure sensor was 3.0 m. Additional experiments were carried out to establish if the relationship between tube length and time taken to reach equilibrium is linear. Straight lengths of 1.0 m, 1.5 m, 2.0 m, 2.5 m, and 3.0 m of 40 mm diameter tube were tested. Initially the mixing of the brine and the water is rapid but as the time from valve opening increases the rate of change of pressure with time reduces approaching the final value asymptotically. This makes it unlikely that the lubrication process will be carried out in order to reach the final pressure and so results are presented in terms of the time taken to reach 75 % of the final pressure. Increasing the tube diameter was shown to reduce the time required to reach 75 % of the final pressure. It was also established that there is not a linear relationship between tube length and time taken to reach equilibrium. This demonstrates that whilst lubrication can be used to increase the pressure at the bottom of an oil well the time scale needed to produce a significant increase in pressure is very large.

This paper discusses the development and use of novel glass and polymer tracers, based on narrow band atomic fluorescence, which have been developed for deployment as environmental tracers. The use of discrete fluorescent species in an environmentally stable host has been developed to replace existing toxic, broad band molecular dye tracers. The narrow band emission signals offer the potential for the tracing of a large numbers of signals in the same environment. This will give significant competitive advantage and increased data accuracy and also allow multiple source environmental monitoring of environmental parameters. These novel environmental tracers exhibiting highly discrete fluorescent emissions can also be formed into many shapes, forms and densities to mimic naturally occurring media.

- Abstract
Pediatric high-grade gliomas (pHGGs), including hemispheric pHGGs and diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), harbor mutually exclusive tumor location-specific histone mutations. Using immunocompetent de novo mouse models of pHGGs, we demonstrated that myeloid cells were the predominant infiltrating non-neoplastic cell population. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry illustrated the presence of heterogeneous myeloid cell populations shaped by histone mutations and tumor location. Disease-associated myeloid (DAM) cell phenotypes demonstrating immune permissive characteristics were identified in murine and human pHGG samples. H3.3K27M DMGs, the most aggressive DMG, demonstrated enrichment of DAMs. Genetic ablation of chemokines Ccl8 and Ccl12 resulted in a reduction of DAMs and an increase in lymphocyte infiltration, leading to increased survival of tumor-bearing mice. Pharmacologic inhibition of chemokine receptors CCR1 and CCR5 resulted in extended survival and decreased myeloid cell infiltration. This work establishes the tumor-promoting role of myeloid cells in DMG and the potential therapeutic opportunities for targeting them., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

- Abstract
Blood-brain barrier opening (BBBO) using focused ultrasound (FUS) and microbubbles (MBs) has emerged as a promising technique for delivering therapeutics to the brain. However, the influence of various FUS and MB parameters on BBBO and subsequent sterile inflammatory response (SIR) remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of MB size and composition, as well as the number of FUS sonication points, on BBBO and SIR in an immunocompetent mouse model. Using MRI-guided MB + FUS, we targeted the striatum and assessed extravasation of an MRI contrast agent to assess BBBO and RNaseq to assess SIR. Our results revealed distinct effects of these parameters on BBBO and SIR. Specifically, at a matched microbubble volume dose (MVD), MB size did not affect the extent of BBBO, but smaller (1 μm diameter) MBs exhibited a lower classification of SIR than larger (3 or 5 μm diameter) MBs. Lipid-shelled microbubbles exhibited greater BBBO and a more pronounced SIR compared to albumin-shelled microbubbles, likely owing to the latter's poor in vivo stability. As expected, increasing the number of sonication points resulted in greater BBBO and SIR. Furthermore, correlation analysis revealed strong associations between passive cavitation detection measurements of harmonic and inertial MB echoes, BBBO, and the expression of SIR gene sets. Our findings highlight the critical role of MB and FUS parameters in modulating BBBO and subsequent SIR in the brain. These insights inform the development of targeted drug delivery strategies and the mitigation of adverse inflammatory reactions in neurological disorders.
