In this study, the synthesis of catechol-amine coating solutions was evaluated at different pH conditions and with different concentrations of tannic acid and tetraethylenepentamine in order to determine the relationship between chemical structure and mechanism in the oxidation reaction. The reactivity of catechol and amine groups in the formulation was measured using UV-Vis spectroscopy and observation of the change in colour of the coating solutions. Then, the deposition of catechol-amine coating solutions was applied onto the hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The formulation results show significant differences in alkaline conditions, revealing the role of catechol groups in the oxidation of polyphenolics. The reactions of quinone and amines to form crosslinks by Michael addition and Schiff base reactions were observed at different concentrations of each compound in coating solution. In addition, the negative charge of hydrophilic and underwater oleophobic-coated PVDF membrane was confirmed by surface zeta potential analysis. The morphological surface of modified membrane is rougher due to that coating deposition was also examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, the performance of modified membrane is comparable with the commercial hydrophilic membrane in terms of fluxes and separation efficiency of emulsion solution.</p>","PeriodicalId":46888,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bisexuality","volume":"2 1","pages":"124585-124595"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88985530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the 2013–2014 and 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, depression symptoms were assessedusing the Patient Health Questionnaire. We used pooled and gender-stratified Poisson regression with robust variances to determine the independent effects of sexual orientation and gender on depression symptoms and calculated relative excess risk due to interaction to examine the joint effects of bisexual orientation and women’s gender on depression symptoms. In adjusted models, depression symptoms were 1.78 times higher in women than in men (99% confidence interval [CI]: 1.776, 1.782), 1.73 times higher in bisexual individuals than in heterosexual individuals (99% CI: 1.726, 1.735), and 3.15 times higher in bisexual women than in heterosexual men (99% CI: 3.145, 3.163). We found evidence for a non-additive model of the excess prevalence of depression symptoms among bisexual women. Gender-specific services addressing the unique mental health needs of bisexual women are needed.Keywords: Depressionlesbian gay and bisexual healthNHANESintersectionalityrelative excess risk due to interaction AcknowledgmentsThe authors would like to thank Dr. Jennifer Brooks, Associate Professor, Epidemiology Division, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto, for her contributions to this study and her feedback on the manuscript.DisclaimerThis study is a secondary analysis, and the primary data collection was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control.
