Abstract:
IntroductionBipolar disorder (BD) typically starts in adolescence or young adulthood (early-onset; EO-BD), which may have different backgrounds and consequences than late-onset (LO) BD. There are controversies over pre-pubertal age of onset (AoO).ObjectivesTo give an overview of the various concepts of AoO in BD, the impact of AoO on subsequent illness course, and findings of the Stanley Foundation Bipolar Network (SFBN) with relationship to AoO.Methodsliterature review and additional analyses of SFBN database.ResultsBD usually begins with a depressive episode. SFBN-data reveal that an earlier AoO is associated with a less favourable prospective illness course (more depression, mood instability and rapid cycling), longer delay to first treatment, past history of suicide attempts, being abused in childhood abuse, more psychiatric and medical comorbidities. Comparison of the US sample with the European sample of SFBN showed an earlier onset in US patients.Conclusionand early AoF of BD is associated with a poorer long-term outcome, despite adequate current treatment.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
The paper presents a consolidation solution to a damaged construction due to its emplacement on difficult foundation soils and inadequate foundation design. Because of the long building operation, many difficulties arise out of structures some frequently met being produced by the unequal settlement of soil, incomplete design of foundation systems or adoption of constructive solutions for foundations apart from design stipulations. To carry out the sustainable performance of structures and actual deformations of structures, foundations, and foundation soils, the current characteristics of the materials being used are necessary to be assessed as well as to evaluate and identify the proper measures to bring them up to the imperative level that ensures safe, reliable and efficient operation. The paper aims to bring in practical ways for the rehabilitation of structures influenced by the inappropriate foundation design as well as difficult sites presenting not only some real deficiencies arisen in structural elements but also methods and technologies used to enhance the performance of constructions in terms of structural capacity and serviceability. The paper shows specific causes that produce structural degradations and the results got from a case study defining two possible solutions emphasising that the consolidation works are specific to each and every building needing experience in expertise, design and execution.

Abstract:
This paper especially studies two important factors of the CSR initiatives carried out by way of the Axis bank foundation. Primarily this paper focuses upon the diverse kinds and the implementation of CSR activities being completed by means of the Axis bank foundation. After going through the information, it can be without a doubt stated that the Axis bank foundation (ABF) has tremendously performed well in fulfilling and uplifting the underprivileged community present in the rural India. The ABF has implemented and carried out multiple projects in diverse sectors of the society. Moreover, the ABF has reached more than 0.9 million covering 25 states, more than 10,000 villages spread across in India. Based on our analysis we can say that the foundation has performed really well in many vital areas moreover, the ABF has created wonders in major areas. But still further improvements can be done in certain areas by the foundation.

Abstract:
For the design of wind turbines it is necessary to consider several conditions such as: wind, turbulence, temperature variations, geology and characteristics of foundation soils on site, earthquake and neighborhood restrictions. The selection of the types and dimensions of the wind turbines foundations are dependent on the geotechnical conditions, the maximum power of turbines and the type of tower. This paper presents various tower structures correlated with the corresponding types of foundations currently used for wind turbines. For this research, the authors performed a variety of analyses and studies involving different characteristics of the locations for the wind turbines. The research shows the solutions obtained for the pile foundations and their impact upon the environment. The paper points out the influence of the pile length on the slope stability as resulted for the soil stratification from the investigated locations.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Strong gravitational lensed quasars (QSOs) have emerged as powerful and novel cosmic probes as they can deliver crucial cosmological information, such as a measurement of the Hubble constant, independent of other probes. Although the upcoming LSST survey is expected to discover 103–104 lensed QSOs, a large fraction will remain unresolved due to seeing. The stochastic nature of the quasar intrinsic flux makes it challenging to identify lensed quasars and measure the time delays using unresolved light-curve data only. In this regard, Bag et al. introduced a data-driven technique based on the minimization of the fluctuation in the reconstructed image light curves. In this article, we delve deeper into the mathematical foundation of this approach. We show that the lensing signal in the fluctuation curve is dominated by the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the derivative of the joint light curve. This explains why the fluctuation curve enables the detection of the lensed QSOs only using the joint light curve, without making assumptions about QSO flux variability, nor requiring any additional information. We show that the ACF of the derivative of the joint light curve is more reliable than the ACF of the joint light curve itself because intrinsic quasar flux variability shows significant autocorrelation up to a few hundred days (as they follow a red power spectrum). In addition, we show that the minimization of fluctuation approach provides even better precision and recall as compared to the ACF of the derivative of the joint light curve when the data have significant observational noise.

Abstract:
A time series prediction model was developed to predict the number of confirmed cases from October 2022 to November 2022 based on the number of confirmed cases of New Coronary Pneumonia from January 20, 2021 to September 20, 2022. We will analyze the number of confirmed cases in the Philippines from January 1, 2020 to September 20, 2022 to build a prediction model and make predictions. Among the works of other scholars, it can be shown that time series is an excellent forecasting model, particularly around dates. The study in this work begins with the original data for inference, and each phase of inference is based on objective criteria, such as smooth data analysis utilising ADF detection and ACF graph analysis, and so on. When comparing the performance of algorithms with functions for time series models, hundreds of algorithms are evaluated one by one on the basis of the same data source in order to find the best method. Following the acquisition of the methods, ADF detection and ACF graph analysis are undertaken to validate them, resulting in a closed-loop research. Although the dataset in this study was generated from publicly available data from the Philippines (our data world for coronaviruses), the ARIMA model used to predict data beyond September 20, 2022 exhibited unusually high accuracy. This model was used to compare the performance of several algorithms, each evaluated using the same training data. Finally, the best R2 for the ARIMA model was 92.56% or higher, and iterative optimization of the function produced a predictive model with an R2 of 97.6%. This reveals the potential trajectory of coronaviruses in the Philippines. Finally, the model with the greatest performance is chosen as the prediction model. In actual implementations, several subjective and objective elements, such as the government’s epidemic defence measures, the worldwide pandemic condition, and whether the data source distributes the data in a timely way, might restrict the prediction’s accuracy. Such prediction findings can be used as a foundation for data releases by health agencies.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de orientação qualitativa, utilizando a teoria e método propostos pelas Representações Sociais a respeito da prática de yoga junto a adolescentes internos e funcionários da Fundação CASA. Como objetivos do estudo, temos: caracterização dos sujeitos; contextualização da atividade de yoga dentro da unidade da Fundação CASA; análise da atividade de yoga enquanto cuidado de si e seus possíveis impactos na vida do jovem interno dentro da Fundação CASA por meio das representações sociais dos adolescentes praticantes e dos funcionários da instituição e, por fim, descrição das dificuldades e desafios para a construção de um sentimento de paz e bem-estar internos. Realizada na Unidade de Internação Divisão Regional 5 – Unidade de Internação Paulista, na Vila Maria, em São Paulo, a pesquisa contou com a participação de quatro adolescentes e cinco funcionários da instituição. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados a entrevista com três questões norteadoras e a observação participante. Os dados obtidos e organizados a partir da Teoria do Núcleo Central desvelaram um desenho que tem como núcleo central a prática de yoga na Fundação CASA e núcleos periféricos “repercussões da prática de yoga”, “conceito”, “dificuldades” para o grupo formado por adolescentes internos, e “percepção da repercussão da atividade”, “dúvidas” e “conceito”, para o grupo de funcionários. Bem-estar, vínculo, auto-avaliação, resistência, ambiente e cotidiano, auxílio no cumprimento da medida socioeducativa, postura corporal e desconhecimento foram alguns elementos periféricos surgidos nas narrativas dos participantes. Comentado à luz das teorias de Winnicott e Foucault, o material permitiu observar diferenças no entendimento dos objetivos, conceitos e vivências ao que se propõe o yoga entre os grupos, ao mesmo tempo em que aproxima dificuldades. O estudo deu voz para ambos os públicos apresentarem suas respectivas representações sociais sobre a yoga praticada nas dependências de uma instituição de seqüestro.
This is a qualitative research project, conducted using theory and methodology proposed by Social Representation with respect to the yoga practice of adolescent inmates and employees of the CASA Foundation. The objectives of the study are based on the following themes: characterization of the subjects; contextualization of the yoga activity within the organization of CASA Foundation; analysis of the yoga practice as a self-help tool and its potential impacts on the lives of young residents in the CASA Foundation through social representation of the adolescent practitioners and staff of the institution and, finally, an analysis of the difficulties and challenges involved in building a sense of inner peace and well-being. Held at the “Unidade de Internação Divisão Regional 5 – Unidade de Internação Paulista”, in Vila Maria, São Paulo, the survey was carried out with the participation of four teenagers and five employees of the institution. Interviews with three guiding questions and the observation of participants were used as data collection instruments. The data collected and organized using the Central Nucleus Theory unveiled a design that has as its core the practice of yoga in the CASA Foundation with peripheral nuclei of "repercussions of the practice of yoga", "concepts" and "difficulties" for the group composed of internal adolescents, and "perception of the impact of activity," "doubts" and "concepts" for the group of employees. Factors relating to well-being, attachment, self-assessment, resistance, environment and everyday life were important in compliance with the socio-educative measures and body posture and lack of knowledge were some of the peripheral elements emerging from the narratives of the participants. Considered through Winnicott´s and Foucault´s theories the material allowed us to observe differences in the understanding of objectives, concepts and experiences in the proposal of the practice of yoga between the different groups, at the same time as these difficulties arise. The study gave voice to both participant groups, allowing them to submit their social representations of the yoga practiced in the premises of a corrective institution such as this.

Abstract:
A city that arose already modern, welcoming, and rich in experiences, affectionately called "Belô" or "Beagá" by some of its most intimate citizens. Every tourist easily feels welcomed in Belo Horizonte, a city that was planned to be the capital of Minas Gerais – with tree-lined streets and alleys that breathe art, stories, and charm. Despite being a Metropolis and home to approximately 2,600,000 (two million six hundred thousand) inhabitants, it still keeps secrets as a country town valuing its origins, which means not refusing a delicious coffee with "pão de queijo" (Brazilian cheese bread), and some chitchat in its squares and gardens. The best way to get to know and experience a city as a whole is to walk through it and experience its daily life, thus, connecting with the city and people. Walking around the city makes you notice details that you may have never noticed before. In this work, we present “UAI a PÉ” tours through Belo Horizonte, so that you can be familiar with and experience each one of them. Itineraries that will make you even more enchanted by our beautiful capital. Walk freely through the “Belo Horizonte Cultural: Circuito Liberdade” amid gardens and many stories and tales. Walk around the streets of the downtown, enjoying our “Belo Horizonte Urbana: Visual Arts,” which is an opportunity to experience our Urban Art that is a worldwide reference. Have a conversation at “Praça da Estação Circuito Cultural”, the gateway to our city since its foundation – many stories are kept in museums and mansions there. “Cultura e Política Mineira”, which is an itinerary from Praça da Assembeia (Assembly Square) to Praça da Estação (Station Square), to understand our history and culture. Fresh breeze and sunset in the beautiful “Pampulha: Patrimônio da Humanidade” (cultural heritage of humanity) where modernism is present in every detail of this picturesque place.

AbstractThis chapter examines the historical waterscapes of Indigenous Māori iwi (tribes) and hapū (sub-tribes) in the Waipā River (Aotearoa New Zealand). We highlight some of the principles of Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) that shaped Māori understandings and engagements with their ancestral waters and lands prior to colonisation. We explore how the arrival of Europeans resulted in Māori embracing new technologies, ideas, and biota, but always situating and adapting these new imports to fit within their Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies. In contrast, British colonial officials were unwilling to embrace such cross-cultural learnings nor allow Te Ao Māori to peacefully co-existent with their own world (Te Ao Pākehā). Military invasion, war, and the confiscation of Māori land occurred, which laid the foundations for environmental injustices.

The Michigan Avenue Bridge Houses are recognised to be where the City of Chicago began, especially when the river crossing becomes a great pedestrian bottleneck of shoppers and tourists. Marshall Field ＆ Company Store holds a complicated history, which results in the building being a good demonstration of the evolution of building foundations in Chicago. The chapter also appreciates the architecture of the Old Republic and Aon Center. It elaborates on the foundation and geological features along buildings like the Chicago Cultural Center, Chicago Athletic Association Annex and Willoughby Tower.

Full text
Abstract:
Reasoning with legal cases has long been modelled using symbolic methods. In recent years, the increased availability of legal data together with improved machine learning techniques has led to an explosion of interest in data-driven methods being applied to the problem of predicting outcomes of legal cases. Although encouraging results have been reported, they are unable to justify the outcomes produced in satisfactory legal terms and do not exploit the structure inherent within legal domains; in particular, with respect to the issues and factors relevant to the decision. In this paper we present the technical foundations of a novel hybrid approach to reasoning with legal cases, using Abstract Dialectical Frameworks (ADFs) in conjunction with hierarchical BERT. ADFs are used to represent the legal knowledge of a domain in a structured way to enable justifications and improve performance. The machine learning is targeted at the task of factor ascription; once factors present in a case are ascribed, the outcome follows from reasoning over the ADF. To realise this hybrid approach, we present a new hybrid system to enable factor ascription, envisioned for use in legal domains, such as the European Convention on Human Rights that is used frequently in modelling experiments.

Abstract Owing to its relations with AF C*-algebras, the infinite-valued calculus of Lukasiewicz is attracting renewed attention. A simple interpretation of non Boolean truth-values can be given in the context of Ulam’s game: this is the variant of the Twenty Questions game where the first player chooses a number x in a certain search space Sand the second player-the Investigator-must find x by asking a minimum number of Yes-No questions. In response the first player may lie up to ℓ times. Answers do not obey classical logic, because equal answers to the same repeated question are generally more informative than single answers. The current state of knowledge of the Investigator is a conjunction of answers.

Abstract:
Abstract Some areas in Ordos basin, such as Sudong block, suffer from poor economic returns caused by low production. The development of this reservoir has multiple geologic and engineering restrictions. In addition to the complex lithology and abundant clay content that reduce formation effective gas porosity and permeability, the low net-to-gross (NTG) ratio requires a larger quantity of proppant to adequately support a fracture that covers the entire thickness of the sand interval. Because of these issues, the reservoir potential is not capable of supporting costly conventional fracturing techniques. Finding a fit-for-purpose stimulation solution that balances the cost effectiveness and production enhancement has been a challenge for years. Channel fracturing has been introduced to achieve better fracture performance with less cost. A pilot project of one deviated well and one horizontal well was done in 2019. The goal of this step was to verify the subsurface suitability and engineering feasibility. Despite the smooth operation and record-breaking post-fracturing test results, multifaceted study continued. The laboratory study of proppant and formation rock established a solid foundation for fluid formulation and proppant concentration design. The design optimization with a multiphysics simulator minimized the fluid volume while ensuring conductivity and lateral coverage. Finally, the equipment layout and rate distribution among pumps was planned so that the slurry pulses formed at the blender would be delivered to downhole with integrity. These success of these efforts is proven by the outstanding post-fracturing results of two vertical wells and one horizontal well in 2021. Despite the discrepancy in reservoir quality, all the wells had faster cleanup period, less gas kickoff, and 80% increase in horizontal well absolute open flow (AOF) compared with 2019. As is demonstrated by field observation and production results, channel fracturing creates highly conductive channels in the fracture with less material consumption and less cost, sustainably. Compared to the conventional fracturing solution, channel fracturing technology enables balancing of budget saving and production increase. The success of implementation has led the way to a more economic cost model to develop the marginal fields in Ordos basin.

Abstract:
Introdução: A pandemia da COVID-19 parece ter apresentado impacto na detecção e na assistência de pessoas que vivem com HIV/AIDS (PVHA), com diminuição de diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS, segundo dados epidemiológicos nacionais e internacionais. Nesse período, especificamente em setembro de 2020, o projeto denominado “Vinculação e retenção de pessoas com HIV em serviços públicos de saúde: um projeto demonstrativo na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, RS, Brasil”, em uma parceria entre Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF), Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS) e Secretaria da Saúde do Rio Grande do Sul (SES/RS), foi iniciado em quatro Serviços de Assistência Especializada ao HIV/AIDS (SAE) com equipes multiprofissionais. Objetivo: Conhecer e comparar o número e as características dos casos com diagnósticos nos anos pandêmicos (2020 e 2021), em relação aos anos pré-pandêmicos (2018 e 2019), ingressos nos SAE com projeto AHF/UNISINOS/SESRS. Métodos: Estudo observacional transversal analítico com utilização do banco de dados desenvolvido no projeto. Resultados: Houve mais casos com diagnóstico no ano de 2021, e o grupo dos anos pandêmicos foi superior numericamente ao grupo dos anos pré-pandêmicos: um total de 647 casos em relação a 565, um aumento de 82 casos, ou seja, 14%. Variáveis sociodemográficas, como sexo e raça/cor, mostraram diferença significativa (p<0,05), assim como clínicas, com valor de CD4 inicial, e assistenciais, como terapia antirretroviral (TARV) oportuna e SAE. Conclusão: Foi constatado um aumento de ingressos de pessoas com diagnóstico de HIV/AIDS nos anos pandêmicos da COVID-19 nos serviços com o projeto AHF/UNISINOS/SESRS, apesar de boletins epidemiológicos municipais, estaduais e nacionais terem demonstrado uma diminuição de casos no período. Essa diferença pode ser decorrente do fato de o projeto ter iniciado em um nível especializado e secundário de assistência ao HIV/AIDS no momento em que a assistência primária apresentava uma demanda exacerbada em razão da pandemia da COVID-19.

Abstract:
The exact form of the Spectral-Line Weighted-sum-of-gray-gases (SLW) model is developed as a limiting case of the classical SLW method when the number of gray gases in the classical model approaches infinity. Solutions of the Exact SLW RTE are obtained in the case of isothermal media. It is demonstrated that accuracy of the Exact SLW method is limited only by the accuracy of the ALBDF correlations used for characterization of the absorption spectrum. This work also demonstrates theoretically the close relationship between the SLW, ADF, and FSK models. The theoretical foundation is laid for the extension of the exact method to the case of non-isothermal media.

Abstract:
Rising cost pressures and the prospect of quick returns have led to an increase in mono functional buildings since the 1970s. These prevent the adaptation to changing user requirements with little monetary outlay. Lack of marketability, increasing vacancy and early demolition are often the consequences. Main objective of the AIF/FOSTA research project P1118 is to develop planning recommendations for multifunctional usable buildings. Adaptability to changing needs will increase marketability and value stability as well as extend the lifetime of the buildings. This not only increases the economy but also the resource efficiency. First of all, the paper explains the ecological and economic requirements for modern buildings, which are based on current certification systems. In this context, the expected lifetime of primary and secondary building components are also dealt with. Subsequently, relevant types of use as well as requirements for essential building parameters are presented. In a comparison, the ecological expenses and costs are assessed for four selected composite structures. For the multifunctional building structures an extension of lifetime is considered and the environmental and monetary impacts are assessed. Furthermore, the influence of the structure on the building foundations is analysed. The investigations present the effects of the building masses on the foundations for two different soil conditions. Finally, the investigations show that variable usable buildings with a longer lifetime lead to a better sustainability.

Abstract:
On the foundation of lifetime publication oeuvres and archival sources, most of which are used for the fi rst time, this paper examines the remaining unknown pages of life of Alexander F. Schuppe. Schuppe was a member of the “Land and Liberty” secret society and later became one of the most creative Ural mining engineers and mining industrialists, and initiated the construction of the “Magnezit” refractory products factory and the “Porogi” ferroalloy plant. The methodology of research of regional intellectual traditions of Russia, which is focused on the fi gure of Schuppe, is based on such an interdisciplinary research direction as Intellectual History. Therefore, A.F. Schuppe’s life-creation is described in the genre of intellectual biography, where the personal life and creative activities of the researched fi gure are closely intertwined with cultural and historical contexts of the era, especially the South Ural region. This article explores his genealogy, family life and political biography, communication with famous people of his time, as well as the last years of his life, which were unknown until now. The article also presents the results of the study of documentary sources related to the discovery of magnesite deposits near the village of “Satkinsky plant” was carried out, on the basis of which found the exact date and history of the discovery of these deposits by A.F. Schuppe. The appendices contain little-known publications about Schuppe in the fi rst third of the 20th century, as well as a bibliography of his works, which is preceded by a list compiled by Schuppe himself and published for the fi rst time, “Works by A.F. Schuppe”. There is an extensive list of historical, archival, and literary sources.

Full text
Abstract:
The quantum theory of atoms is based on a Hamiltonian which is just that of the classical Kepler theory of planetary orbits. In spite of this common foundation, the predictions of the quantum theory ordinarily do not much resemble those of the classical theory. Even in the limit of large quantum numbers the energy eigenstates of quantum theory do not look at all like the classical elliptical orbits. Recently, Parker and Stroud1 showed that it is possible to excite a Rydberg atomic wave packet localized in the radial coordinate. Also, Yeazell and Stroud2 showed that a wave packet localized in the angular coordinates can be formed. Both wave packets exhibit an evolution describable, at least in part, by classical theory. However, neither wave packet truly corresponds to a wave packet traveling in a classical elliptical orbit. We discuss the manner in which such a wave packet might be formed using a short-pulsed laser and arf dressing field. The evolution of the resulting wave packet is compared with that of its classical counterpart.

Elimination of emissions of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide from confined animal and feeding operations (CAFO) using an adsorption/liquid-redox process with biological regeneration. United States Department of Agriculture, March 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2008.7695589.bard.

Abstract:
The project was originally aimed at investigating and developing new efficient methods for cost effective removal of ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO), in particular broiler and laying houses (NH₃) and hog houses (H₂S). In both cases, the principal idea was to design and operate a dedicated air collection system that would be used for the treatment of the gases, and that would work independently from the general ventilation system. The advantages envisaged: (1) if collected at a point close to the source of generation, pollutants would arrive at the treatment system at higher concentrations; (2) the air in the vicinity of the animals would be cleaner, a fact that would promote animal growth rates; and (3) collection efficiency would be improved and adverse environmental impact reduced. For practical reasons, the project was divided in two: one effort concentrated on NH₃₍g₎ removal from chicken houses and another on H₂S₍g₎ removal from hog houses. NH₃₍g₎ removal: a novel approach was developed to reduce ammonia emissions from CAFOs in general, and poultry houses in particular. Air sucked by the dedicated air capturing system from close to the litter was shown to have NH₃₍g₎ concentrations an order of magnitude higher than at the vents of the ventilation system. The NH₃₍g₎ rich waste air was conveyed to an acidic (0<pH<~5) bubble column reactor where NH₃ was converted to NH₄⁺. The reactor operated in batch mode, starting at pH 0 and was switched to a new acidic absorption solution just before NH₃₍g₎ breakthrough occurred, at pH ~5. Experiments with a wide range of NH₃₍g₎ concentrations showed that the absorption efficiency was practically 100% throughout the process as long as the face velocity was below 4 cm/s. The potential advantages of the method include high absorption efficiency, lower NH₃₍g₎ concentrations in the vicinity of the birds, generation of a valuable product and the separation between the ventilation and ammonia treatment systems. A small scale pilot operation conducted for 5 weeks in a broiler house showed the approach to be technically feasible. H₂S₍g₎ removal: The main goal of this part was to develop a specific treatment process for minimizing H₂S₍g₎ emissions from hog houses. The proposed process consists of three units: In the 1ˢᵗ H₂S₍g₎ is absorbed into an acidic (pH<2) ferric iron solution and oxidized by Fe(III) to S⁰ in a bubble column reactor. In parallel, Fe(III) is reduced to Fe(II). In the 2ⁿᵈ unit Fe(II) is bio-oxidized back to Fe(III) by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (AF).In the 3ʳᵈ unit S⁰ is separated from solution in a gravity settler. The work focused on three sub-processes: the kinetics of H₂S absorption into a ferric solution at low pH, the kinetics of Fe²⁺ oxidation by AF and the factors that affect ferric iron precipitation (a main obstacle for a continuous operation of the process) under the operational conditions. H₂S removal efficiency was found higher at a higher Fe(III) concentration and also higher for higher H₂S₍g₎ concentrations and lower flow rates of the treated air. The rate limiting step of the H₂S reactive absorption was found to be the chemical reaction rather than the transition from gas to liquid phase. H₂S₍g₎ removal efficiency of >95% was recorded with Fe(III) concentration of 9 g/L using typical AFO air compositions. The 2ⁿᵈ part of the work focused on kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation by AF. A new lab technique was developed for determining the kinetic equation and kinetic parameters (KS, Kₚ and mₘₐₓ) for the bacteria. The 3ʳᵈ part focused on iron oxide precipitation under the operational conditions. It was found that at lower pH (1.5) jarosite accumulation is slower and that the performance of the AF at this pH was sufficient for successive operation of the proposed process at the H₂S fluxes predicted from AFOs. A laboratory-scale test was carried out at Purdue University on the use of the integrated system for simultaneous hydrogen sulfide removal from a H₂S bubble column filled with ferric sulfate solution and biological regeneration of ferric ions in a packed column immobilized with enriched AFbacteria. Results demonstrated the technical feasibility of the integrated system for H₂S removal and simultaneous biological regeneration of Fe(III) for potential continuous treatment of H₂S released from CAFO. NH₃ and H₂S gradient measurements at egg layer and swine barns were conducted in winter and summer at Purdue. Results showed high potential to concentrate NH₃ and H₂S in hog buildings, and NH₃ in layer houses. H₂S emissions from layer houses were too low for a significant gradient. An NH₃ capturing system was designed and tested in a 100-chicken broiler room. Five bell-type collecting devices were installed over the litter to collect NH₃ emissions. While the air extraction system moved only 10% of the total room ventilation airflow rate, the fraction of total ammonia removed was 18%, because of the higher concentration air taken from near the litter. The system demonstrated the potential to reduce emissions from broiler facilities and to concentrate the NH₃ effluent for use in an emission control system. In summary, the project laid a solid foundation for the implementation of both processes, and also resulted in a significant scientific contribution related to AF kinetic studies and ferrous analytical measurements.

Abstract:
To address adolescent health and wellbeing in Tajikistan, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and Population Council used a hybrid human-centered (HCD) and evidence-based program design to engage adolescent girls, boys, and caregivers in a guided process of defining key issues and program areas. The design informed the development of a first-of-its-kind program model for AKF and in Tajikistan: coordinated community-based groups for adolescent girls and boys, caregivers' groups, and an institutional stakeholder community of practice in Tajikistan. Design and implementation experiences established "proof of concept" as a basis to expand the approach across the country and region. The pilot generated valuable lessons and resources to inform and support both expansion and new programming.
