A Data Forwarding Approach for Fire-Rescue Scenario with Multi-Type Mobile Nodes
Authors: Liu Linfeng , Zhou Ping , Wu Jiagao , Wang Ran , Fan Xiaojun , Zhu Haiting
Published: July 2019

The opportunistic mobile sensor network has been extensively applied in various public safety applications such as the fire rescue and earthquake rescue, since it can provide a surveillance range with an inexpensive cost and avoid the dangers of humans staying in risk zones. However, due to some environmental events such as building structure damage, airflow push, and fire explosions, the sensor nodes sprinkled into the fire-rescue scenario may be kept moving. Thus, the contacts between nodes become momentary, and the data packets cannot be forwarded along stable communication paths. To this end, the opportunistic forwarding manner is adopted in the fire-rescue scenario to enable the data packets to be transferred to the rescue control center (RCC) through some discrete hops. The contributions of this paper are threefold. First, the nodes in the fire-rescue scenario are carefully investigated and classified into four types: small-range mobile nodes (SRNs), large-range mobile nodes (LRNs), firefighter nodes (FNs), and robot nodes (RNs). Second, we formulate the data forwarding problem, and the optimal proportions of SRNs, LRNs, and FNs in data holders are mathematically analyzed to obtain the maximum delivery ratio. Third, a data forwarding approach for fire-rescue scenario (DFAFR) is proposed. In DFAFR, the optimal proportions of SRNs, LRNs, and FNs in data holders are maintained as far as possible through selecting different types of data holder candidates, and then the new data holders are determined from these data holder candidates and the adjacent RNs on basis of their expected delivery delay. Finally, the performance of DFAFR is analyzed through simulations of the fire-rescue scenario, and the results indicate that DFAFR can enhance the delivery ratio and shorten the delivery delay while the forwarding overhead is restricted.

Published: July 2019

Analog integrated circuits never follow the Moore’s Law. This is particularly right for passive component. Due to the Short Channel Effect, we have to implement longer transistor, especially for analog cell. In this paper, we propose a new topology using some advantages of the FDSOI (Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator) technology in order to reduce the size of analog cells. First, a current mirror was chosen to illustrate and validate a new design. Measured currents, with 35nm transistor length, have validated our new cross-coupled back-gate topology. Then, a VCRO (Voltage Controlled Ring Oscillator) based on complementary inverter is also used to remove passive components reducing the size of the circuit.

Authors: Roviello Giandomenico , D’Angelo Alberto , Roudi Raheleh , Petrioli Roberto , Mini Enrico
Published: July 2019

Metastatic gastric cancer is still a disease with a poor prognosis. Recently, different novel agents (e.g., apatinib, nivolumab, TAS-102) have demonstrated a survival advantage compared with placebo for patients with heavily pretreated metastatic gastric cancer. Although the possible availability of active agents may be a desirable option in a very poor therapeutic scenario, clinical data from the recent studies with these drugs raise yet controversial issues. The purpose of this review is to briefly summarize the results of these novel drugs focusing on the limitations that bring some shadows on their positive therapeutic results.

Published: July 2019

Background. Oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen species plays a central role in pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases. Inhibition of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades attenuates the oxidative induced cell stress and behaves as potential neuroprotection agent. Materials and Methods. In this study, we evaluate hydrogen peroxide induced neural cell stress and determine how different MAPK inhibitors restore the cell damage. Results. The results indicated that oxidative stress induced by neural cell damage commonly exists, and MAPK inhibitors partially and selectively attenuated the cell damage by reducing ROS production and cell apoptosis. The cultured neurons are more susceptible to hydrogen peroxide than subculture cells. Conclusion. We conclude that the essential role of different MAPK inhibitors is to attenuate the hydrogen peroxide induced neuronal cell damage. Those data broaden the implication between individual neural cells and different MAPK inhibitors and give clues for oxidative stress induced neural diseases.
A Selection Model on Risk Response Scheme for Complex Equipment Research and Manufacturing
Authors: Li Jiao , Liu Yong
Published: July 2019

Risk is an important factor affecting the success of complex equipment research and manufacturing, so how to deal with the risk properly has become the key to risk management of complex equipment cooperative research and manufacturing. In view of this, considering that the choice of risk response schemes for complex equipment research and manufacturing is a consensus issue of group negotiation, this paper exploits group decision‐making and utility theory to establish a risk disposal scheme selection model for complex equipment development based on group negotiation consensus, and then a case verifies the validity and rationality of the proposed model. The results show that the consensus scheme selection problem proposed in the paper effectively combines the preference value and utility, considers the supplier’s risk preference behavior, and achieves the multisubject consensus scheme.

Objective.The investigation aims to compare antimicrobial efficacy of the extract ofCommiphora molmol, againstEnterococcus faecalisandFusobacterium nucleatum, with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).Design.The dehydrated oleo-gum resin ofCommiphora molmolwas extracted by using 70% ethanol and was suspended in 99.8% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a dissolving agent in a 1:2 volume to produce an aqueous solution at room temperature. Agar-well diffusion and broth microdilution methods assay were utilized to determine both the antimicrobial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration, of alcoholic extract ofCommiphora molmolagainstE. faecalisandF. nucleatum. The values of the inhibition zones were determined based on the concentration of the investigated material. One hundred and forty extracted human premolar teeth were instrumented and immersed in bacterial suspension ofE. faecalisorF. nucleatum(70 teeth in each species suspension). Prepared teeth were then immersed in the myrrh extract solution, 2.5% NaOCl, DMSO, or Cefotaxime and incubated for 30 and 60 minutes.Results.The largest inhibition zone diameter for both bacterial species was obtained by the 100mg/100μL concentration. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was 0.03mg/300μL for bothE. faecalisandF. nucleatum. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) results showed that 0.03mg/μL myrrh extract and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite significantly reduced bacterial growth at both 30 and 60 minutes of different treatments of root canals, compared to DMSO group (negative control) and the antibiotic group (positive group).Conclusion.Myrrh extract was proven to have considerable antibacterial activity against bothF. nucleatumandE. faecalis.
A Modified Inverse Distance Weighting Method for Interpolation in Open Public Places Based on Wi-Fi Probe Data

Published: July 2019

Urban open places with a public service function (e.g., urban parks) are likely to be populated in peak hours and during public events. To mitigate the risk of overcrowding and even events of stampedes, it is of considerable significance to realize a real-time full coverage estimate of the population density. The main challenge has been the limited deployment of crowd surveillance detectors in open public spaces, leading to incomplete data coverage and thus impacting the quality and reliability of the density estimation. To remedy this issue, this paper proposes a modified inverse distance weighting (IDW) method, named the inverse distance weighting based on path selection behavior (IDWPSB) method. The proposed IDWPSB method adjusts the distance decay effect according to visitors’ path selection behavior, which better characterizes the human dynamics in open spaces. By implementing the model in a real-world road network in the Shichahai scenic area in Beijing, China, the study shows a decrease in the absolute deviation by 17.62% comparing the results between the new method and the traditional IDW method, justifying the effectiveness of the new method for spatial interpolation in open public places. By considering the behavioral factor, the proposed IDWPSB method can provide insights into public safety management with the increasing availability of data derived from location-based services.
Weight of the Default Component of CDS Spreads: Avoiding Procyclicality in Credit Loss Provisioning Framework
Authors: Gubareva Mariya
Published: July 2019

The current expected loss calculations have recently attracted considerable attention in the research on credit risk modeling, impairment provisioning, and financial networks’ stability. A new CDS‐based approach to estimate current expected credit loss is proposed for low default portfolios, containing credit exposures to corporate issuers covered by publicly traded CDS contracts. First, a fraction of CDS spread related to a pure default compensation for different CDS maturities is assessed. Our results contrast with previous research. Second, based on the obtained historical weights of the default risk premium, a forward‐looking term structure of the probabilities of default implied by the current CDS quotes is derived. The proposed approach covers both investment and noninvestment grade debt. The resulting framework is applied to a sample of corporate bonds. The developed methodology provides a useful tool, on one hand, for credit risk managers and balance‐sheet preparers and, on the other hand, for regulators of financial markets as it sheds light on how procyclicality could be avoided in provisions.
Dynamic Matching in Cloud Manufacturing considering Matching Costs
Authors: Chen Qi , Xu Qi , Wu Cui
Published: July 2019

As a service‐oriented business platform model, the nature of cloud manufacturing is to realise the manufacturing resources’ sharing, which will largely benefit resources supplier, resources demander, and platform operator. However, it also faces some new problems. One of the most critical issues is how to dynamically match resources of supply and demand to maximise profits of all parties while considering matching costs. This paper investigates the resources’ dynamic matching in a manufacturing supply chain that operates under a cost‐sharing contract and consists of two independent and competing manufacturers and a resource‐service platform. We first use differential equation to model the evolution of resource‐sharing and capture the effect of matching service efforts on market demand. Next, we study the optimal matching strategies by a two‐stage differential game based on the dynamic control approach. Then, we design a cost‐sharing contract to coordinate and improve the supply chain’s performance. Finally, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the impact of platform transaction fees and matching costs on the feasible region of the corresponding contract.
Glandular Odontogenic Cyst in Dentigerous Relationship: An Uncommon Case Report
Authors: Ferreira Jean Carlos Barbosa , Vêncio Eneida Franco , de Sá Rodrigo Tavares , Gasperini Giovanni
Published: July 2019

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is an uncommon cyst of the jaw. Less than 200 cases are reported in the literature, and only 22 cases are associated with an unerupted tooth (dentigerous relationship). Although it is an asymptomatic lesion, it can be destructive and has high recurrence rates. The diagnosis can be especially challenging due to the lack of distinct diagnostic clinic-radiological criteria and nonspecific microscopic features, mimicking benign and malignant lesions. Conservative surgical treatment has been the choice for most surgeons, but marginal or partial jaw resection has been reported. This report describes a rare case of GOC in a dentigerous relationship, which was treated with enucleation and peripheral osteotomy.
Optimizing Acetabular Component Bone Ingrowth: The Wedge-Fit Bone Preparation Method
Authors: Gaillard-Campbell Dani M. , Gross Thomas P.
Published: July 2019

We investigate the efficacy of a modified acetabular bone-preparation technique in reducing the incidence of two clinical problems identified in hip resurfacing arthroplasty. The first issue is failure due to lack of bone ingrowth into the acetabular component. The second is a newly recognized phenomenon of early cup shift. We hypothesize that these issues might be resolved by using a “wedge-fit method”, in which the component wedges into the peripheral acetabular bone rather than bottoming out and potentially toggling on the apex of the cup. Prior to November 2011, all acetabula were reamed 1 mm under and prepared with a press-fit of the porous coated acetabular component. After November 2011, we adjusted reaming by bone density. In “soft bone” (T-score <-1.0), we underreamed acetabula by 1 mm less than the outer diameter of the cup, as was previously done in all cases. For T-scores greater than -1.0, we reamed line-to-line. Additionally, we began performing an “apex relief” starting June 2012 in all cases by removing 2 mm of apex bone with a small reamer after using the largest reamer. Failure of acetabular ingrowth occurred in 0.5% of cases before the wedge-fit method and <0.1% after. Rate of cup shift was reduced from 1.1% to 0.4%. The rate of unexplained pain between 2 and 4 years postoperatively also declined significantly from 2.6% to 1.3%. Our evidence suggests that wedge-fit acetabular preparation improves initial implant stability, leading to fewer cases of early cup shift, unexplained pain, and acetabular ingrowth failure.

Authors: Huang Tousheng , Zhang Huayong , Liu Zhao , Pan Ge , Zhang Xiumin , Gao Zichun
Published: July 2019

This research focuses on the self‐organization of vegetation patterns on severely degraded eroding lands, triggered by water resource in the deposited sediment layer on which the vegetation patterns are formed. A nonlinear spatiotemporal model is developed with the consideration of the interactions between vegetation biomass and water resource stored in the sediment layer. With employment of the model, the conditions for pattern formation of the considered ecological system are determined via Turing instability analysis. Numerical simulations of the research demonstrate the formation of banded, labyrinth, and gapped vegetation patterns, with the parameter values taken from the literature. The characteristics of the vegetation patterns are analyzed. Comparing the characteristics of the vegetation patterns of this research with that available in literature, great similarity of pattern formation is shown. The results obtained provide a theoretical comprehension on natural vegetation restoration of severely degraded eroding lands.

Published: July 2019

Nowadays water bodies across the world are heavily polluted due to uncontrollable contamination of heavy metal particles, toxic dyes, and other harmful wastes discharged by emerging industries other than normal domestic wastages. This contamination needs sufficient control to protect the natural water bodies. There are various methodologies to be followed to perform wastewater treatment, in which the adsorption method of filtration is found to be efficient. The adsorption method is a high priority and preferable filtration method compared to other waste water treatment methods due to its peculiar characteristics. Considering the adsorption method, there are multiple options available in selecting material and methodology for the filtration process. In selecting the filtering material, there is much attraction towards graphene and its oxides, which have widespread range of differential applications in commercial industries because of their eco-friendly characteristic features. The importance of various graphene composites and their chemical properties is found to be significant in various fields. Analyzing the adsorbing properties of graphene widely, this article deeply reviews about the improvements and the technologies identified for using graphene and (GO) graphene oxide in wastewater treatment taken into discussion elaborately. Therefore, in this hard review, the advantages and demerits of using graphene for wastewater treatment as well as improving its properties to make it more suitable for wastewater treatment are detailed.

Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have an average survival of less than 1 year, underscoring the importance of evaluating novel targets with matched targeted agents. We recently identified that poly (ADP) ribose glycohydrolase (PARG) is a strong candidate target due to its dependence on the pro-oncogenic mRNA stability factor HuR (ELAVL1). Here, we evaluated PARG as a target in PDAC models using both genetic silencing of PARG and established small-molecule PARG inhibitors (PARGi), PDDX-01/04. Homologous repair–deficient cells compared with homologous repair–proficient cells were more sensitive to PARGi in vitro. In vivo, silencing of PARG significantly decreased tumor growth. PARGi synergized with DNA-damaging agents (i.e., oxaliplatin and 5-fluorouracil), but not with PARPi therapy. Mechanistically, combined PARGi and oxaliplatin treatment led to persistence of detrimental PARylation, increased expression of cleaved caspase-3, and increased γH2AX foci. In summary, these data validate PARG as a relevant target in PDAC and establish current therapies that synergize with PARGi.

Significance:

PARG is a potential target in pancreatic cancer as a single-agent anticancer therapy or in combination with current standard of care.
Identification and Analysis of lncRNAs by Whole-Transcriptome Sequencing in Porcine Preadipocytes Induced by BMP2
Authors: Li Sheng , Chen Chengzhen , Chai Menglong , Wang Jiawei , Yuan Bao , Gao Yan , Jiang Hao , Zhang Jiabao
Published: July 2019

Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) can mediate the signaling of R-Smads and regulate different biological functions, including adipocyte differentiation. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can be involved in many important biological processes, including fat metabolism, as miRNA sponges. This study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanism of fat deposition and to provide useful information for the prevention and treatment of lipid-related diseases. lncRNA sequencing was performed to compare and analyze, for the first time, the expression of lncRNAs in BMP2-induced and non-BMP2-induced preadipocytes from Junmu1 pigs. In addition, functional annotation and enrichment analysis of differentially expressed lncRNA target genes were carried out. lncRNAs and mRNAs were compared and analyzed. lncRNAs were identified that may regulate adipogenesis and lipid metabolism. The results give a theoretical basis for further studies on fat deposition mechanisms and provide potential therapeutic targets for metabolic diseases.

Enfatizando o processo
Authors: Carvalho Ana
Published: July 2019

In response to the concept of an artistic project, technology has a double role: it hides the performer behind the computer and extends the possibilities by representing him/her. This article analyzes the presence and process in live audiovisual performances, from the perspective of an artistresearcher. Based on my experience, I play with possibilities related to presence, process and documentation. The understanding of audiovisual performance as a processual practice expands documentation beyond the promotional videos and their dissemination via social networks to comprehend other documents, other forms of reaching interested audiences. Different forms of experiencing a performance coexist: the fruition of an event or document includes the study of a performance focused on how it is created and how it is presented. Furthermore, digital platforms play an important role on these practices, gathering and archiving documents related to performing-artists, making them accessible to a multitude of points of view.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar el pensamiento de Prelorán por medio de sus artículos y entrevistas.
Um calafrio anda pelo meu corpo
Authors: Lopes Denilson
Published: July 2019

Antes da realizar Limite (1931), seu único filme, Mário Peixoto vai para a Inglaterra (192-/1927), onde escreve um diário até hoje inédito em formato de livro. Pretendi apresentar esse material pouco conhecido junto com fotos dessa viagem. O diário revela não só um artista em formação, mas ao escrever em inglês e longe de sua família, traduz uma sensibilidade marcada por uma constante encenação de si, por uma melancolia existencial e a sensação de não pertencimento. Uma questão que me chamou atenção é como a leitura desse diário pode ser repensada por uma experiência queer ainda muito silenciada no debate sobre o Modernismo no Brasil.
Para um conceito materialista de tempo musical. A teoria dos tipos nos fragmentos de Adorno sobre Beethoven
Authors: Socha Eduardo
Published: July 2019

Pretende-se expor os elementos principais da teoria dos tipos, que encontramos nos Beethoven-Fragmente, de Theodor W. Adorno. Por meio desse modelo de pensamento, Adorno esclarece os critérios orientadores de seu conceito de tempo musical, que se particulariza criticamente nos escritos musicais posteriores, como as monografias sobre Wagner, Mahler e Berg, os ensaios sobre Stravinsky e as conferências sobre o serialismo pós-Webern. A teoria dos tipos envolveria as diferentes modalidades de “relação da música com o tempo em geral”. Além da exposição teórica, articulada à interpretação do tempo em Hegel, propõe-se a análise técnica de peças de Beethoven, sobretudo do 1º movimento da 3a Sinfonia, obra que fundamentaria in musicis o conceito adorniano de tempo musical.

Acerca da sensitividade tátil na teoria freudiana
Authors: Ibertis Carlota
Published: July 2019

Como é sabido, o empirismo freudiano dá especial relevância para as sensações visuais e auditivas. Por outro lado, não fica claro, por falta de explicitação, se Freud valoriza as sensações táteis da mesma forma que essas, embora elas estejam presentes em vários momentos-chave da vida psíquica. Com base nisso, o presente artigo explora o significado das sensações táteis na teoria freudiana, examinando suas funções na figuração onírica, nas pulsões parciais da infância e na instauração do eu. A análise mostra uma estreita conexão entre as sensações táteis e o afeto, sugerindo que a consideração freudiana sobre estas sensações requer reavaliação.
A psicanálise nos primeiros tempos da Rússia Soviética
Authors: Maniakas Georgina Faneco
Published: July 2019

O objetivo deste artigo é fazer uma breve exposição sobre a trajetória da psicanálise nos primeiros anos da Rússia soviética. Entre as práticas que tornaram a psicanálise acessível à classe trabalhadora, concentraremos nossa apresentação na experiência pioneira da “Casa das Crianças” (Detski Dom) de Moscou, primeira escola de educação infantil embasada em princípios psicanalíticos. Documentada por sua fundadora, Vera Schmidt, a escola funcionou entre 1921 e 1925, abrigando 30 crianças com idade entre 1 e 5 anos. Assim como a escola, nos anos que se seguiram à morte de Lênin e ao exílio de Trotsky as demais instituições psicanalíticas sucumbiram à censura ideológica. Em 1936, a repressão stalinista baniu oficialmente a psicanálise da União Soviética, interrompendo um processo que modificou a prática da psicanálise e ampliou o alcance cultural e social das ideias de Freud. Entretanto, o interesse pelo inconsciente se manteve, e no final dos anos 80 a psicanálise foi retomada na Rússia.
Casaubon’s Ephemerides as a Companion of Calvinist Ascesis through Labour
Authors: Campagnolo Matteo
Published: July 2019

The Hellenist Isaac Casaubon taught at Geneva’s Academy from 1582 to 1596. Invited to Montpellier’s University as the future restorer of Greek studies, after the tormented years of the French civil wars, he moved to the Midi of France. A few weeks later, Casaubon started to keep a diary. The psychological reasons of this decision and the nature of his journal are examined. Started as a sort of log-book, it is argued that its deep roots are to be sought in the difficulty to adapt himself to an environment so utterly contrasting with reformed Geneva, lacking sound and comfortable “religious safeguards”, and in the sudden solitude in which he fell, deprived as he was of the contact with his coreligionist colleagues and friends. Casaubon, Rousseau, Amiel, three authors deeply stamped by Reformation: it cannot be due to sheer coincidence if they all started very personal autobiographical writings, eventually worded as journal intime. The root of Capitalism and of Punctuality has been shown to be the Genevan Reformation, the author argues that the genre of the journal intime too developed under the new psychological relationship of persons to themselves which grew out of the unprecedented religious and moral context.
Isaac Casaubon, Andreas Eudaemon-Joannes, John Prideaux, and Tarnished Reputations: A (not Entirely) Scholarly Controversy
Authors: Vince Máté
Published: July 2019

Isaac Casaubon’s open letter to Fronton du Duc (1611) was the most eagerly anticipated contribution to James I’s controversy with the Jesuits. It provoked a vitriolic response from Andreas Eudaemon-Joannes, who insinuated that Casaubon’s father had been hanged. As this paper demonstrates, it is due to Casaubon’s successful rhetoric that he is often believed to have been outraged only by Eudaemon-Joannes’ slanderous treatment of his father, but not by the Jesuit’s attacks on Casaubon’s scholarly competence and moral integrity. Even as he protested that these ridiculous accusations do not merit a reply, Casaubon did in fact publish three slanderous responses, and further undermined Eudaemon-Joannes and the Jesuits in his private correspondence. This paper contributes to the revision of Mark Pattison’s depiction of Casaubon’s ‘English’ years, and his turn to theology, as a failure. By tracing the genesis of a short passage in Casaubon’s Exercitationes, it reassesses treatises by Eudaemon-Joannes, Prideaux and Casaubon in the light of Casaubon’s recently published correspondence. A comparison of the rhetorical strategies of these authors demonstrates that they shared a culture of polemic that did not shy away from slanderous and vulgar imagery.
Integrative taxonomists should use and produce DNA barcodes
Authors: PADIAL JOSÉ M. , DE LA RIVA IGNACIO
Published: July 2019

Put simply, DNA barcoding (DNAB) is an identification method that aims to relate short, specific DNA fragments from unidentified specimens to sequences of previously identified voucher specimens through comparison of sequence divergence (Hebert et al. 2003). DNAB has produced noticeable success in terms of scientific citation and media coverage because it is technically feasible, commercially attractive, and philosophically acceptable to many scientists (Smith 2005). Irrespective of the utility to the general public (Cameron et al. 2006), and contrary to other DNA-based methods with taxonomic purposes (Vogler & Monaghan 2006), identification through DNAB is becoming widely available (www.barcodinglife.org). While DNAB is rejected by some taxonomists who view it as a competitor for funds, or a danger to taxonomy (Will & Rubinoff 2004; Ebach & Holdrege 2005), we argue for the complete incorporation of DNAB into integrative taxonomy (sensu Will et al. 2005).
Redescriptions of four species of Otobothrium Linton, 1890 (Cestoda: Trypanorhyncha), including new records from Australia, New Caledonia and Malaysia, with the description of O. parvum n. sp.

Published: July 2019

Redescriptions are provided of Otobothrium carcharidis (Shipley & Hornell, 1906), O. crenacolle Linton, 1890, O. curtum (Linton, 1909) and O. propecysticum Dollfus, 1969 based on the type specimens and new material collected from elasmobranch hosts from Australia, Malaysia and New Caledonia. All are considered to be valid species. A neotype has been designated for O. crenacolle. A new species, O. parvum, is described from the spiral valve of Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos (Bleeker, 1856) and Triaenodon obesus (Rüppell, 1837) from New Caledonia. Otobothrium minutum Subhapradha, 1955 is considered to be a valid but poorly described species, being differentiated on the basis of a lack of testes posterior to the ovary. Otobothrium cysticum (Meyer, 1842) is considered a species inquirenda. The presence of an hermaphroditic sac is a new character for the genus while O. curtum lacks bothrial pits, a characteristic found in all congeners examined. The species described or redescribed here can be distinguished based on the number of segments and the number and distribution of testes, in addition to the features of the scolex. Otobothrium crenacolle is readily distinguished by its larger bothrial pits. The metabasal armature begins on either the bothrial or internal surface of the tentacle depending upon the species.
Namtokocoris Sites, a new genus of Naucoridae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) in waterfalls of Indochina, with descriptions of six new species
Authors: SITES ROBERT W. , VITHEEPRADIT AKEKAWAT
Published: July 2019

A new genus with six new species of Naucoridae inhabiting waterfalls of Indochina are described from a decade of aquatic insect collections in Thailand and Vietnam. Namtokocoris Sites NEW GENUS is diagnosed by a pair of prominent scutellar protuberances, the prosternal midline bears an expansive, thin, plate-like carina, the forelegs of both sexes have a one-segmented tarsus apparently fused with the tibia, and a single claw. Prominent linear series of stout hairs occur on the hemelytra, although this attribute is not unique within the subfamily. Despite the lack of sexual dimorphism in the forelegs, this new genus is a member of the subfamily Laccocorinae, an assignment based on other characters consistent with this subfamily. Character states of this genus are compared with those of other Asian genera of Laccocorinae. The type species, Namtokocoris siamensis Sites NEW SPECIES, is widely distributed from northern through eastern Thailand in waterfalls of several mountain ranges. Namtokocoris khlonglan Sites NEW SPECIES was collected only at Namtok Khlong Lan at Khlong Lan National Park. Namtokocoris minor Sites NEW SPECIES was collected at two waterfalls near the border with Burma in Kanchanaburi Province and is the smallest species known. Namtokocoris akekawati Sites NEW SPECIES occurs in waterfalls from Kanchanaburi Province south to Ranong Province along the Burmese border. In Vietnam, Namtokocoris dalanta Sites NEW SPECIES was collected in Thac Dalanta near Da Lat in Lam Dong Province. Namtokocoris kem Sites NEW SPECIES was collected from Thac Kem, a limestone waterfall in Pu Mat National Park in Nghe An Province, as well as in Nan Province of northern Thailand. Few characters are available to distinguish among the species; however, genitalic features are reliably diagnostic.
Conservation implications of a morphometric comparison between the Illinois Chorus Frog (Pseudacris streckeri illinoensis) and Strecker’s Chorus Frog (P. s. streckeri) (Anura: Hylidae) from Arkansas, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas

Much uncertainty exists regarding the taxonomic status of the Illinois Chorus Frog (Pseudacris streckeri illinoensis Smith; ICF) relative to Strecker’s Chorus Frog (P. s. streckeri, Wright & Wright; SCF) of the southcentral United States (US). Molecular analyses have been inconsistent in providing taxonomic insight, and no formal morphological comparisons have been previously performed. Each taxon possesses a wide range of background colors. We undertook morphometric analyses to help clarify their taxonomic relationship. Tibia length and mass were compared for live Arkansas (AR) specimens and snout-vent, head and tibia lengths were measured from preserved vouchered specimens. Tibia length and mass were significantly greater for living ICFs versus SCFs in AR. Among preserved specimens, tibia, snoutvent and head lengths were significantly greatly for AR ICFs relative to most intraspecific groups, and Texas (TX) SCFs were significantly smaller than most other groups. Principal components analysis was largely consistent with univariate analyses, although Missouri (MO) ICFs also partitioned distinctly from other sample groups. These data provide morphological evidence of geographic (clinal) variation within a species, but do not provide support for the taxonomic elevation of the ICF to species status. Our data do provide evidence of distinct population segments of P. streckeri. As ICF habitat suitable for reproduction has dramatically declined in Arkansas as have population numbers, we recommend the listing of AR ICFs as a distinct population segment under the Endangered Species Act.
Kotumsaridae, a new family of subterranean amphipod crustaceans from India, with description of Kotumsaria bastarensis, new genus, new species

Published: July 2019

Kotumsaridae, a new family of amphipod crustaceans is described from Kotumsar Cave in the state of Chhattisgarh, India. The family is based on Kotumsaria bastarensis, new genus and species, which is the only known member of the new family recorded to date. Although the new family appears to share some morphological characters with several other taxa from the southern hemisphere considered members of the superfamily Crangonyctoidea, including the New Zealand endemic genus Paracrangonyx, both its taxonomic and phylogenetic affinities remain unclear. Specimens of the new taxon, measuring just over 2 mm in length, were collected from the sediments of a pool in Kotumsar Cave but are believed to have migrated from deeper interstices. Kotumsaria bastarensis is only the third subterranean amphipod recorded to date from the Indian subcontinent.
A systematic revision of the genus Archocentrus (Perciformes: Cichlidae), with the description of two new genera and six new species
Authors: SCHMITTER-SOTO JUAN J.
Published: July 2019

The cichlid genus Archocentrus has been considered one of the most promising (i.e., possibly natural) genera resurrected to receive some of the species formerly included in Cichlasoma. Evidence is presented to justify generic recognition of Archocentrus, as well as eight other closely related genera (Caquetaia, Hypsophrys, Parachromis, Amphilophus, Archocentrus, Cryptoheros, Amatitlania, and Rocio). Of these, Amatitlania (type species, A. nigrofasciata) and Rocio (type species, R. octofasciata) are described as new. The present revision treats all nominal species ever assigned to Archocentrus, as well as species that have been included in or near the same clade as Archocentrus centrarchus (type species of the genus) in available phylogenetic analyses. Geographical variation in morphology of the more widespread species was examined, which has resulted in the description of six new species (Cryptoheros chetumalensis, Amatitlania coatepeque, A. kanna, A. siquia, Rocio gemmata, and R. ocotal) with a seventh resurrected from synonymy (Cryptoheros cutteri). Archocentrus includes the type species (Ar. centrarchus), plus Ar. spinosissimus and Ar. multispinosus. Cryptoheros is restricted to the species complexes of Cr. spilurus (= subgenus Cryptoheros, including also Cr. chetumalensis and Cr. cutteri) and Cr. septemfasciatus (= Bussingius n. subgen., including also Cryptoheros altoflavus, Cr. nanoluteus, Cr. myrnae, and Cr. sajica); Cryptoheros panamensis is placed in Panamius n. subgen. Herotilapia is synonymized with Archocentrus, and Neetroplus is synonymized with Hypsophrys, which now includes the type species H. nicaraguensis and H. nematopus. Lectotypes are designated for Amatitlania nigrofasciata, Archocentrus spinosissimus, Cryptoheros septemfasciatus, Cr. spilurus, and Rocio octofasciata. Cichlasoma immaculatum is considered to be a synonym of Archocentrus spilurus, not of Ar. spinosissimus.

Postembryonal development in Caprellidae: SEM description and comparison of ready-to-hatch juveniles and adults of two Mediterranean skeleton shrimps (Crustacea: Amphipoda)
Authors: LANG CAROLA , KRAPP TRAUDL , MELZER ROLAND R.
Published: July 2019

Descriptions of the sets of externally visible characters of “ready-to-hatch” juveniles and redescriptions of females and males of Caprella cavediniae Krapp-Schickel & Vader, 1998 and Caprella equilibra Say, 1818 (Crustacea: Amphipoda: Caprellidae) are made using the scanning EM and the light microscope. The juveniles of the different species are compared as well as the juveniles with the respective adults. It is shown that juvenile Caprellas are far from being “miniature editions” of the adults and that numerous morphogenetic changes and reconstructions occur during postembryonal development.
Morphometric differentiation between two murid rodents, Praomys tullbergi (Thomas, 1894) and Praomys rostratus (Miller, 1900), in West Africa

Published: July 2019

Morphometric differentiation between the two species of the genus Praomys Thomas (1915) inhabiting West Africa was investigated using univariate and multivariate statistics on external, cranial and dental measurements. One hundred and seventy six adult specimens (78 P. tullbergi and 98 P. rostratus) from fifteen localities throughout the Upper Guinean rainforest were analyzed. All specimens had been previously identified to species level by molecular analyses (16S rRNA and/or cytochrome b gene sequencing). Sexual dimorphism was observed in both species, but was more significant in P. rostratus than in P. tullbergi. Body weight was significantly lower in P. tullbergi than in P. rostratus. Moreover, males of P. tullbergi had a significantly smaller head and body length than males of P. rostratus. Specimens of P. tullbergi of both sexes were on average smaller than males of P. rostratus regarding all cranial and dental measurements, and smaller than females of P. rostratus with regard to most measurements. However, none of the cranial or dental measurements treated in our study could be used alone to separate P. rostratus and P. tullbergi, because of considerable overlap in the ranges of each variable. A good discrimination between the two species was obtained by means of craniometrical multivariate statistics, several rostrum measurements being significantly lower in P. tullbergi than in P. rostratus. Discrepancies between our results and former published studies are hypothesized to be due to differences between the variables used and/or the geographical areas covered.
A new species of Geosesarma from Palawan, Philippines (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura: Sesarmidae)
Authors: MANUEL-SANTOS MARIVENE R. , YEO DARREN C.J.
Published: July 2019

A new species of semi-terrestrial, freshwater sesarmid crab, Geosesarma lawrencei, is described from Palawan, the Philippines. It is distinguished from its congeners by a unique suite of characters of the carapace, third maxilliped, ambulatory leg, and male first gonopod. This is the first species of Geosesarma described from Palawan and only the fourth from the Philippines.

It has come to my attention that the name of the new polyclad genus, Aotearoa, described in Holleman (2007), is a homonym of Aotearoa Forster and Platnick (1984), a New Zealand spider genus.
A review of the North American species of Hemipenthes Loew, 1869 (Diptera: Bombyliidae)
Authors: ÁVALOS-HERNÁNDEZ OMAR
Published: July 2019

Twenty-three North American species of the genus Hemipenthes Loew are reviewed. Two new species are described (type locality in parentheses): Hemipenthes albus (Mexico, Zacatecas: 25 mi NW Zacatecas), n. sp. and H. translucens (Mexico, Morelos: Quilamula), n. sp. The following synonymies were founded: H. eumenes (Osten Sacken, 1886) is a synonym of H. seminigra Loew, 1869, n. syn.; H. floridiana (Macquart, 1850), H. pima (Painter, 1962), and H. sagata (Loew, 1869 are synonyms of H. celeris (Wiedemann, 1828), n. syns. Evidence presented here shows that H. morio (Linnaeus, 1758) has a Palearctic distribution, not Holarctic as had been considered. Chrysanthrax yaqui (Painter, 1962) is transferred from Villa, n. comb.
Generic classification for the Gasteruptiinae (Hymenoptera: Gasteruptiidae) based on a cladistic analysis, with the description of two new Neotropical genera and the revalidation of Plutofoenus Kieffer
Authors: MACEDO ANTONIO CARLOS CRUZ
Published: July 2019

Gasteruptiinae is the largest Gasteruptiidae subfamily, with circa 400 species that have been grouped into the worldwide Gasteruption Latreille. Based on a cladistic analysis with 43 morphological characters, 40 ingroup taxa representing all biogeographic regions, and seven outgroups (four Hyptiogastrinae, two Aulacidae and one Evaniidae), I confirm the monophyly of Gasteruptiinae and Gasteruption and recognize three exclusively Neotropical small genera: Plutofoenus Kieffer (revalidated) (southern South America), Spinolafoenus Macedo n. gen. (Chile) and Trilobitofoenus Macedo n. gen. (Central and South America). Gasteruption, supported by four synapomorphies, remains the most speciose genus in the subfamily. The four Gasteruptiinae genera are keyed and described. Seven species are keyed and described or redescribed: Plutofoenus chaeturus (Schletterer) n. comb., P. edwardsi Turner, P. paraguayensis (Schrottky), Spinolafoenus ruficornis (Spinola) n. comb., Trilobitofoenus alvarengai Macedo n. sp., T. plaumanni Macedo n. sp. and T. sericeus (Cameron) n. comb. (lectotype designated).
