Material
Fifteen specimens were collected from the north island, three from Whangateau Harbor, six from Point Chevalier, two from intertidal rocks in front of the Island Bay Marine Laboratory, two at Karaka Bay, Port Nicholson, one at Castle Point and one at Te Raekaihau Point. Three specimens collected under rocks at Lower Portobello south island.
Morphology
External features: The largest specimen measured 40mm long by 10mm wide. Most specimens ranged from 20 to 33mm long and 5 to 8mm wide. Tentacles are lacking. The dorsal surface is a gray brown lighter at the margins and gray ventrally. Small marginal eyes form a narrow band that extends posteriorly about one third the length of the body. Cerebral eyes extend from behind the cerebral organ as two elongate groups the may merge forming a narrow v-shaped group. The long, heavy ruffled pharynx occupies one-half the body length. The mouth is located in the posterior one-third of the pharyngeal pocket. The intestinal branches do not anastomose.
Reproductive anatomy: The gonopores are located very close together. The male gonopore leads into a short antrum into which a short conical shaped penis projects. The penis is unarmed. The testes occupy a dorsal position and are interspersed with the ovaries. The sperm ducts are ventral and lateral to the pharyngeal pocket twisting and curving as they progress posteriorly. Posterior to the pharyngeal pocket the sperms duct curve medially then dorsally where the ducts become inflated with a thin muscular layer forming spermiducal bulbs. Now as ejaculatory ducts they unite to form a common ejaculatory duct that curves ventrally then posteriorly to receive the prostatic duct prior to entering the base of the penis papilla. The small prostatic vesicle which extends dorsally and anteriorly has a smooth interior with a muscular wall which is transversed by extracapsular gland ducts. The female gonopore leads into the vagina which receives the secretions of the shell glands and continues dorsally and anteriorly to a position above the prostatic vesicle turning dorsal and posterior to receive the common oviduct. The duct of Lang’s vesicle, with a ridged lining, continues to enter into the large Lang’s vesicle.
Two specimens as wholemounts, one stained and one unstained, and a specimen as a set of sagittal sections have been deposited with the California Academy of Science. CAS Nos. 173084, 173085 and 173086 respectively.

description: Ethosomes are novel soft malleable nanovesicles composed mainly of phospholipids, ethanol (relatively high concentration), glycol, and water. They are used for enhanced drug delivery through the skin. These zidovudine (ZV) vesicles were formulated by cold technique using phospholipids, cholesterol, propylene glycol, and ethanol. The nanoethosomal dispersion was transformed to transethosomal patches using HPMC E15 and chitosan as polymers, a mixture of dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (1:1 ratio) as solvent, triethyl citrate as plasticizer, and span 80 as permeation enhancer. The physical features of the prepared patches were found to be within acceptable limits. The in vitro study showed drug diffusion of 71.25 − 88.19% through the semipermeable egg membrane in 24 hours. The ex vivo study showed drug permeation of 78.35 − 91.45% through the goat ear membrane in 24 hours. The combination of HPMC and EP4 transdermal patch was determined to be the most effective formulation for transdermal drug administration with sustained drug release, outperforming all other formulations based on acceptable physicochemical parameters, in vitro and ex vivo evaluation studies. Compared with the other formulations, the EP4 formulation had superior penetration kinetics, as proven by its highest permeation co-efficient (2.56 mg/cm2/h), flux (0.494 mg/cm2/h), and enhancement ratio (2.43). Moreover, dermal irritation tests demonstrated that topical therapy did not cause any irritation, indicating its safety. The in vivo bioavailability studies revealed that the AUC showed good bioavailability, which was approximately 188.99 times greater than that of the marketed product. According to the in vitro–in vivo correlation, the ex vivo (in vitro) data can represent physiological conditions that are exact replicas of those found in vivo. Therefore, the ZV transdermal patches exhibit enhanced drug permeation and good bioavailability for better therapeutic outcomes.

Abdomen: Dark metallic olive-green; setae white; epandrium black, cercus brown. Male genitalia (Fig. 5): epandrium subovate; hypandrium with acute apex; epandrial seta small, positioned near epandrial lobes; epandrial lobes very close, lateral lobe bearing long, sinuous seta, median lobe with normal seta; surstylus sickle-shaped, with basoventral, short tooth-like seta and 3 long midventral setae, apex with 4-5 short setae; cercus short, with short lateral arm. Female: Unknown.
Etymology. The species is named after the type locality.
Remarks. Medetera colombensis belongs to the flaviscutellum species-group which includes a single Oriental species, M. philippinensis Bickel. Using Bickel’s (1987) key, the species runs to the Australian species M. gingra Bickel and M. bunyensis Bickel which do not have a yellow colored scutellum. It can be separated from all members of this species-group by the striking sickle-shaped surstylus and small cercus.

Remarks. This taxon was described as a subspecies of Polycaena kansuensis on account of its similar male genitalia (Sugiyama, 2015). According to the original description, the genitalic differences between ssp. kansuensis and ssp. sakaii are found in the length and shape of the central plate, and the spinules at the distal portion of the harpe. In external features, ssp. sakaii differs from ssp. kansuensis in having larger reddish orange submarginal spots on the forewing upper side.
Distribution. Northern Sichuan (Aba Prefecture).

description: Genus JULIACORBULA Olsson & Harbinson, 1953
Juliacorbula Olsson & Harbinson, 1953: type species Corbula cubaniana d’Orbigny, 1853 (in 1841–1853) (original designation), Recent Western Atlantic.
Diagnosis. Adult shell of moderate in size, heavy, subtrigonal to subtrapezoidal, nearly equivalve, equilateral to subequilateral, with strong, sharp keel between central and posterior slope and long and truncated posterior margin; weakly rostrate posterior slope. Right valve with marginal groove along the free internal border where the opposite valve fits in. Sculpture of moderate to strong commarginal ribs, similar in both valves. Lunular area recessed. Escutcheon well defined by ribs on both valves, more conspicuous on the right.
Right valve hinge with anterior cardinal tooth, curved upwards at the dorsal margin, and with posterior deep resilial socket. Left valve hinge with anterior cardinal socket, and with posterior chondrophore; moderately broad and projected chondrophore with one well developed ridge on the dorsal side and a tooth-like knob on its posterior margin. Nepioconch not distinguished.
Remarks. Juliacorbula differs from Caryocorbula by its subtrigonal to subtrapezoidal outline with a strong and sharp keel between the central and posterior slope and the conspicuously truncated posterior margin; Caryocorbula species have more trigonal shells. Olsson & Harbinson (1953) emphasized the presence of two ridges in the chondrophore of Juliacorbula, distinguishing it from Caryocorbula. I understand that Olsson & Harbinson (1953) referred to the radial ridge that divides the chondrophore into an anterior and a posterior area, and the tooth-like knob on the posterior margin of chondrophore (see diagnosis).
According Goodwin et al. (2008) Juliacorbula scutata Gardner, 1943 has GF1 growth pattern. The great similarity between specimens in pre-accretion and post-accretion stages indicates that the growth pattern in Juliacorbula is GF1, in agreement with Goodwin et al. (2008).

description: The double-blinded randomized trial is considered the gold standard to estimate the average causal effect (ACE). The naive estimator without adjusting any covariate is consistent. However, incorporating the covariates that are strong predictors of the outcome could reduce the issue of unbalanced covariate distribution between the treated and controlled groups and can improve efficiency. Recent work has shown that thanks to randomization, for linear regression, an estimator under risk consistency (e.g. Random Forest) for the regression coefficients could maintain the convergence rate even when a nonparametric model is assumed for the effect of covariates. Also, such an adjusted estimator will always lead to efficiency gain compared to the naive unadjusted estimator. In this paper, we extend this result to the competing risk data setting and show that under similar assumptions, the augmented inverse probability censoring weighting (AIPCW) based adjusted estimator has the same convergence rate and efficiency gain. Extensive simulations were performed to show the efficiency gain in the finite sample setting. To illustrate our proposed method, we apply it to the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) dietary modification trial studying the effect of a low-fat diet on cardiovascular disease (CVD) related mortality among those who have prior CVD.

Polycaena kansuensis subhuti Sakai, 2015: 9, figs. 73–74 for ♂, 111–112 for ♀, TL: Heimahe, Kukunor (Qinghai Lake), Qinghai.
Material. None.
Remarks. The male of ssp. subhuti cannot be separated from that of ssp. kansuensis soundly, as the former falls within the range of individual variation of the latter. However, the female of ssp. subhuti bears an orange ground color in the postdiscal area of the hindwing upper side, looking like that of P. matuta shii Huang, 2014, whereas the female of ssp. kansuensis, at most, bears some whitish spots on a grayish brown ground color in the postdiscal area of the hindwing upper side.
Distribution. Northern Qinghai (Heimahe, southwest of Qinghai Lake).

description: Dose optimization studies of new therapeutic agents aim to identify one or more promising doses for further evaluation in subsequent studies. Traditionally, dose optimization has focused on finding the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), assuming that drug activity and efficacy generally increase with increasing dose. For modern targeted agents, the dose–activity relationship is often non-monotone and such that activity starts to plateau or even decline before reaching the MTD. Finding the optimal biological dose (OBD) for a targeted agent requires considering both toxicity and activity in dose optimization. This article proposes a new design for finding the OBD that uses generalized likelihood ratios (GLRs) to measure statistical evidence regarding key scientific questions on toxicity and activity. This GLR-based design requires no parametric modeling assumptions and only assumes that the dose–toxicity relationship is monotone and that the dose–activity relationship follows a two-sided isotonic regression model. Compared with existing designs that operate under similar assumptions, the GLR-based design is more general and more flexible, and performs competitively in simulation experiments where drug activity starts to plateau or decline before reaching the MTD.

description: Genus TENUICORBULA Olsson, 1932
Tenuicorbula Olsson, 1932: type species Corbula tenuis G. B. Sowerby I, 1833, by original designation; Recent, Mazatlan to Peru.
Diagnosis. Shell thin to moderately solid, subelliptical, elongate, subequivalve, inequilateral, with a strong, sharp, and high keel between central and posterior slope; posterior slope with an acute rostrum; truncated posterior margin. Right valve with marginal groove along the free internal border where the opposite valve fits in. Sculpture similar in right and left valves with commarginal ribs. Right valve with anterior cardinal tooth and posterior deep resilial socket. Left valve with anterior cardinal socket for insertion of right cardinal tooth, and with posterior flattened chondrophore; chondrophore with a weak developed median ridge on the dorsal side, frequently delimitated by a narrow knob posteriorly. Nepioconch not distinguished.
Remarks. Tenuicorbula differs from Juliacorbula by its subelliptical outline and broader posterior slope. Both genera have a strong and sharp keel between the central and posterior slope. However, in Tenuicorbula species this keel is higher than in Juliacorbula species. Phylogenetic analyses based on conchological characters have demonstrated the similarities between Tenuicorbula and Juliacorbula (Anderson & Roopnarine 2003; Anderson et al. 2006).
Goodwin et al. (2008) did not analyze the growth of any species of Tenuicorbula. However, given the greater similarity between pre-accretion and post-accretion shells, the growth pattern in Tenuicorbula is likely to be GF1.

description: A common problem seen in the ineffective execution of global multicenter trials is the frequent inability to recruit a sufficient number of patients. A myriad of barriers to recruiting enough patients timely exist and may include practical limits on the number of recruiting sites imposed by the various countries, as well as administrative, cost and unanticipated issues. The Poisson-gamma recruitment model is a widely accepted statistical tool used to predict and track recruitment at different levels of a trial and make inference. An optimal recruitment plan can be designed using mathematical optimization, however, the search is complicated with multiple nonlinear objectives and constraints that arise from regulatory and budgetary considerations. We review nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms which are powerful, flexible, general purpose optimization tools and demonstrate their capability and utility in optimizing complex recruitment designs for global clinical trials using the Poisson-gamma model as an exemplary model. This research opens up new avenues for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of patient recruitment in clinical trials, thereby potentially accelerating the development of new medical treatments.

description: This article considers the concept of designing Phase I clinical trials using both clinician- and patient-reported outcomes to adaptively allocate study participants to tolerable doses and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) at the study conclusion. We describe a new isotonic patient-reported outcome (PRO-ISO) Phase I design with the flexibility of allocating patients to lower, more tolerable regimens if a large number of PRO-DLT events are seen at higher doses. We conduct simulation studies of the operating characteristics of the design and compared them to the patient-reported outcomes continual reassessment method (PRO-CRM). We illustrate that the PRO-ISO makes appropriate dose assignments during the study to give investigators and reviewers an idea of how the method behaves. In simulation studies, the PRO-ISO demonstrates comparable performance to the PRO-CRM in terms of recommending target doses and allocating patients to these doses. It also performs well relative to a nonparametric optimal benchmark applied to the PRO setting. Finally, we extend our methodology to account for the problem of late-onset toxicities.

Polycaena lama taibaiensis Chou & Yuan, 2001: 142, figs. 9–10 for ♂, TL: Taibaishan, Shaanxi.
Material. CHINA: Shaanxi province: 4♂♂, Xi-an City, Chang-an County, Qinling-liang, 2600 m, 6.VII.2013 & 24.VII.2015, Y.-F. Li leg..
Identification. This taxon was originally described from Taibaishan, Shaanxi, with photos of the unique holotype published. The specimens examined agree with the holotype in all details of wing-pattern.
Wing-pattern. This taxon has its wing-pattern generally as in P. lua lua, except for the following points. Apex of forewing upper side of male has three clear white subapical spots. Discal spots in spaces 4–5 on forewing upper side of male are conjoined with discocellular spot into a single large black spot.
Male genitalia. This taxon has its male genitalia generally as in P. lua lua, except for the following points. Size of the whole genitalia is larger in accordance with the size of the body. Valva is more elongate. Central plates between valvae are less depressed in lateral view. Phallus is markedly longer.
Remarks. The male genitalic morphology supports this taxon as a subspecies of P. l ua, with only slight differences in measurements of some genital structures. Thus it is transferred from the subspecies of P. l am a to the subspecies of P. l u a. Chou & Yuan (2001) overlooked Polycaena lua when they described their Polycaena lama taibaiensis.
Distribution. Restricted to Qinling Mts., Shaanxi.
