Nodopomatias

description: Genus Nodopomatias Gude, 1921
Eupomatias Godwin-Austen, 1917: pp 579–580.
Nodopomatias Gude, 1921: p 161. (nomen novum for Eupomatias Godwin-Austen, 1917, non Eupomatias Wagner, 1897)
Type species. Eupomatias sibbumensis Godwin-Austen, 1917 (by original designation).
Diagnosis. Shell medium sized to large, slender turriform, regularly ribbed; aperture round with slight upper incision (parietal-palatal transition); peristome double (the boundary between two circles clearly visible); an elevated keel runs around the umbilicus, starts from the most basal point of the peristome lip and terminates near the columellar-parietal transition of the peristome; operculum densely coiled, thin, membranous.
Differential diagnosis. Differs from Pseudopomatias and Csomapupa n. gen. by the presence of the basal keel. Tortulosa and Eucataulus have stronger basal keels and a basal canal in the aperture. The keel of Nodopomatias is lower and situated much closer to the umbilicus than that of in Vargapupa n. gen. The keel of Nodopomatias terminates just behind the peristome lip, whereas that of Vargapupa n. gen. flattens gradually on the ventral side of the body whorl. Vargapupa n. gen. has an incision on the basal part of the aperture, where the keel starts from, however this character may not be independent from the position of the basal keel. The peristome of Nodopomatias is "double" (the boundary between the two circles of the peristome clearly visible) and that of Vargapupa n. gen. is "simple" (consists of a single circle, or the boundary is not visible between the two circles of the peristome).
Content. oakesi (Godwin-Austen 1917), sibbumensis (Godwin-Austen 1917).
Distribution (Fig. 7): Both species of Nodopomatias are known from the Abor Hills (Arunachal Pradesh, North-eastern India) (see also Fig. 2 and Table 3).

Diagnosis. The distinctive features of the new species are discussed under the diagnosis of the new monotypic genus Brunneonola.
Description. The external and genital morphology of Brunneonola nimba sp. n. are discussed under the description of the new monotypic genus.
Genetic information. The new species has been assigned the BIN URI: BOLD:AEJ3404. The intraspecific genetic divergence is 0.31%. The nearest neighbour according to the BOLD database is a noline species identified as Callinola bifiliferata from South America, diverging at 6.41%, however, the relatively short genetic distance based on COI barcodes only, does not necessarily refer to a close relationship between the species. Within the taxa discussed in this study, the shortest pairwise genetic distance was observed between B. nimba and H. nanographa in the range of 7.90–8.24%.
Etymology. The specific name refers to the type locality of the new species, the Nimba Mountains.

description: Genus Paniculata Park, gen. nov.
Type species: Paniculata weberi Park, sp. nov., 2017. TL: Cameroon.
Diagnosis. Paniculata Park is a monotypic, and seems to be related to Lecithocera with similar wing shape. The diagnostic characters of this new genus are: head, thorax, and forewing pale yellow throughout dorsally; basal segment of antenna with a prominent black scale-tuft ventro-apically (Fig. 18a–b); second segment of labial palpus slender, long, upturned; 3rd segment short, less than 1/3 of 2nd segment; forewing with R3 connate with R4+5; CuA1 and CuA2 free and hindwing with M3 and CuA1 coincident. Abdomen without spinous zones of spines on tergite; segment 6th with a pair of transverse crescentic sclerites and 7th segment with heavily scerotized rods. The prominent scale-tuft at apex of the basal segment of antenna is a shared character with Alcyphanes Meyrick, from which it is easily differentiated by the forewing color pattern and different venation: Alcyphanes has R3 stalked with R4+5, R5 to termen, M2 and M3 stalked, CuA1 stalked with M2+3. The wing venation is also similar to that of Opacoptera Gozmány with M3, CuA1 and CuA2 free in the forewing, and M3 and CuA1 coincident.
Description for venation (Fig. 19): Forewing with R1 arising from before middle; distance between origins of vein R1 and R2 less than 1.5 times that between R2 and R3; R3 connate with R4+5, arising near upper corner of cell; R4 and R5 stalked near middle; R5 to termen; M1 remote from R4+5, nearly parallel to M2; M3 closer to CuA1 at base; CuA1 free; hindwing with M3 and CuA1 coincident.
Etymology. The generic name is derived from Latin, paniculus (= tuft), referring to the scale tuft of antenna. The gender is feminine.

Fig. 8 F
Eupomatias sibbumensis Godwin-Austen, 1917: p. 579. Nodopomatias sibbumensis — Gude 1921: p. 162.
Diagnosis. A large, turriform species with widened peristome margin consisting of two well-separated circles and a basal keel situated close to the umbilicus.
Description. The three shells available for study were corroded; therefore the shell colour and the fine sculpture of the protoconch could not be observed. It was visible however on the figured syntype, that the first whorl of the protoconch was not ribbed. Shell turriform, widest at its base; the 7.5–8.25 (n=2), rather flat whorls are separated by shallow suture; ribs are regular on the whole shell; the holotype is the only shell with a complete aperture and neck region, but it has a scar (cicatrice) on the neck, therefore the sculpture behind the aperture could not be described properly; basal keel with blunt ribs; keel starts behind the aperture (a bit left from the most basal point), and ends behind the columellar-basal transition of the aperture; aperture round with slight upper incision (parietal-palatal transition); columellar-parietal transition not angled; peristome is very slightly reflexed; it consists of two circles, a wider outer and a very thin inner; the boundary between these is well visible from lateral view.
Measurements (in mm). H: 14.5, D: 5.8 (n=1).
Differential diagnosis. See under Nodopomatias oakesi.
Type material. Sibbum, Abor Hills, leg. Oakes, Godwin-Austin Collection, NHMUK 1903.7.1.3146 (3 syntypes).
Distribution. Nodopomatias sibbumensis is known from the type locality only (see also Fig. 2 and Table 3).

description: Choosing daily meals can be a complex and overwhelming task, especially when considering nutritional requirements, ingredient availability, preparation time, cooking complexity, dietary restrictions, and allergens. Inadequate nutrition is linked to a variety of health problems, including cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and psychological disorders, highlighting the need for effective dietary management solutions. Existing machine learning approaches, such as food recommender systems, recipe generators, and recipe completion models, often focus on suggesting ingredients or generating recipes based on training data and with some ingredients to start from, but they typically do not address the challenge of creating complete daily meal plans that meet personalized nutritional needs. The advent of Large Language Models (LLMs), including Meta’s LLaMA, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, and Google’s Gemini, offers a promising new avenue for enhancing personalized meal recommendations due to their accessibility and interactive capabilities. This thesis introduces a novel system that leverages LLaMA 3.1 combined with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to provide daily meal suggestions tailored to individual users’ nutritional profiles, dietary preferences, and allergen restrictions. Our system evaluates meal recommendations against established nutritional metrics such as the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) and Diet Quality Index (DQI) to ensure they align with dietary guidelines and promote healthy eating. Through the integration of LLaMA’s advanced language understanding and RAG’s contextual retrieval capabilities, the system delivers precise, personalized, and accessible meal recommendations, offering a practical tool for improving dietary management and supporting healthier eating habits. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach in addressing the complexities of meal planning, making it a valuable resource for individuals seeking to optimize their dietary choices through informed and interactive guidance.

description: Emulation of energy transfer processes in natural systems on quantum platforms can further our understanding of complex dynamics in nature. One notable example is the demonstration of vibrationally assisted energy transfer (VAET) on a trapped-ion quantum emulator, which offers insights for the energetics of light harvesting. In this work, we expand the study of VAET simulation with trapped ions to a non-Hermitian quantum system comprising a $\mathscr{PT}$-symmetric chromophore dimer weakly coupled to a vibrational mode. We first characterize exceptional points (EPs) and non- Hermitian features of the excitation energy transfer processes in the absence of the vibration, finding a degenerate pair of second-order EPs. Exploring the non-Hermitian dynamics of the whole system including vibrations, we find that energy transfer accompanied by absorption of phonons from a vibrational mode can be significantly enhanced near such a degenerate EP. Our calculations reveal a unique spectral feature accompanying the coalescing of eigenstates and eigenenergies that provides a novel approach to probe the degenerate EP by fluorescence-detected vibrational spectroscopy. Enhancement of the VAET process near the EP is found to be due to maximal favorability of phonon absorption at the degenerate EP, enabling multiple simultaneous excitations. Our work on improving VAET processes in non-Hermitian quantum systems paves the way for leveraging non-Hermiticity in quantum dynamics related to excitation energy transfer.

description: Incidence of Alzheimer's disease, the leading cause of dementia and the fifth cause of death among elderly patients, has been rapidly increasing in recent years due to continued demographic aging. However, access to diagnosis and adequate care remains limited, especially in low-to-middle income countries, leaving an approximate 41 million cases currently undiagnosed. Such limitations can crucially compromise the quality and availability of care that can be provided to those in need. Wastewater surveillance, which is based on the detection and quantification of biomarkers in wastewater samples, has emerged as a promising tool to assess public health in a time and resource-efficient manner, providing important information for public health authorities and healthcare providers when used in tandem with relevant socioeconomic data and clinical reports. While its potential for monitoring infectious diseases has been proven, efforts towards the integration of biomarkers of chronic and degenerative diseases into such surveillance platforms are still needed. This dissertation aims to evaluate the main biomarkers related to Alzheimer’s disease, including proteins, long non-coding RNAs, and oxidative stress biomarkers, for their integration into wastewater surveillance biomarkers. Moreover, machine learning-based algorithms to correlate the concentration of biomarkers in wastewater to the clinical reports of incidence of a disease were developed using SARS-CoV-2 surveillance in university campuses across Mexico as a relevant case study, to develop effective data analysis strategies to integrate wastewater surveillance data into epidemiological models that allow for public health risk assessment and forecasting. This dissertation contributes to the consolidation of wastewater surveillance as a tool for comprehensive public health risk assessment and data-driven decision-making by demonstrating a pipeline for the integration of new biomarkers into surveillance platforms and effective, easily-interpretable data integration.

description: We investigate pattern formation in two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) caused by periodic driving of the interatomic interaction. We show that this modulation generically leads to a stable square grid density pattern, due to nonlinear effects beyond the initial Faraday instability. We take the amplitudes of two waves parametrizing the two-dimensional density pattern as order parameters in pattern formation. For these amplitudes, we derive a set of coupled time evolution equations from the Gross--Pitaevskii (GP) equation with a time-periodic interaction. We identify the fixed points of the time evolution and show by stability analysis that the inhomogeneous density exhibits a square grid pattern, which can be understood as a manifestation of a stable fixed point. Our stability analysis establishes the pattern in BECs as a nonequilibrium steady state.

description: Composts are known to contain beneficial bacteria, which may be antagonistic to plant pathogens. This work evaluated whether carrot white mould, causal agent Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, can be reduced using antagonistic bacteria isolated from forestry compost. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that bacteria from the genera Pseudomonas and Bacillus can inhibit mycelial growth and reduce white mould. Bacillus subtilis strains F9–2 and F9–12 and Pseudomonas arsenicoxydans strain F9–7 showed the highest inhibitory properties. Three cyclic dipeptides (diketopiperazines) were characterized from the antifungal culture filtrates of P. arsenicoxydans F9–7. When assayed against S. sclerotiorum, the diketopiperazines showed the following inhibitory activity, in increasing order: cyclo-(l-Pro-l-Val), cyclo-(l-Pro-l-Phe) and cyclo-(l-Pro-l-Leu). The combination of these diketopiperazines indicated additive and, occasionally, synergistic antifungal effects. These results indicated a potential for some bacteria to inhibit the growth of S. sclerotiorum and reduce its associated disease on carrots postharvest.

description: Genus Notioseus Park, gen. nov.
Type species: Notioseus cupripennis Park, sp. nov. TL: Cameroon.
Diagnosis. Notioseus Park seems to be related to Lecithocera Herrich-Shäffer. The labial palpus is similar to that of Eridichtha Meyrick (type species E. paralocha Meyrick from India), with long, dense hairs dorsally, and the forewing venation is similar to that of Eurodachtha Gozmány (type species: Lecithocera pallicornella Staudinger from Spain), with R3 free and CuA1 free from CuA2, but the hindwing venation differs with a very unusual venation: M2 absent, and M3 and CuA1 coincident, which differs from that of any known related genus. The male genitalia are also similar to those of Eurodachtha in having a ring-shaped plate near basal lobes of the uncus, which formerly was considered unique to Eurodachtha. This combination of characters of the labial palpus, male genitalia, and wing venation is not found in other known genera of the subfamily, hence, a new genus Notioseus Park is proposed herein.
Description for venation. Forewing with R1 arising from before middle, distance between origin of R1 and R2 more than twice that between R2 and R3; R3 free, close to stalk of R4+5 at base; R4 and R5 stalked in basal half; R5 to termen; M2 present; M3 from between M2 and CuA1; CuA1 free; CuA2 arising from near lower corner of cell. Hindwing with M2 absent; M3 and CuA1 coincident (Fig. 25).
Etymology. The generic name is derived from the Greek, notios (= southern) + seos (= moth), and the gender is masculine.

description: Seedling rot in sugar beet was observed at Snyder Farms, Wyoming, USA, in April 2022. The diseased seedlings exhibited water-soaked brown to blackish lesions in hypocotyls with poor root systems. Four fungal isolates were retrieved from the diseased samples, and their morphological features were found to be identical to those of previously reported Fusarium species. Artificial inoculation with isolates developed similar symptoms to those observed in the field samples. Based on morphological characteristics, pathogenicity assays, sequence homologies of the internal transcribed spacer, translation elongation factor (tef1α), largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (rpb2), β-tubulin (β-tub), and multilocus phylogenic analyses with tef1α and rpb2, the causal agent was identified as Fusarium clavum (F. incarnatum-equiseti species complex 5). This is the first worldwide report of sugar beet seedling rot caused by F. clavum, detected in Wyoming, USA. This finding will help to formulate effective management practices to manage the pathogen and prevent its widespread occurrence.

description: Genus Pseudopomatias Möllendorff, 1885
Pseudopomatias Möllendorff, 1885: p. 164. Fargesia Heude, 1886: p. 211.
Fargesia — Johnson 1973: p. 34.
Type species. Pseudopomatias amoenus Möllendorff, 1885 by monotypy.
Diagnosis. Shell small to large, turriform or spindle-shaped, rather regularly ribbed; aperture rather round with slight columellar-parietal and parietal-palatal transitions; the latter is usually more angled; the parietal side is usually straight; peristome consists of two circles, in some species it appears as "single"; basal keel missing; operculum densely coiled, thin, membranous (Figs 5 C–F).
Differential diagnosis. Differs from Eucataulus Kobelt, 1902 (often referred as subgenus of Tortulosa Gray, 1847), Nodopomatias, Tortulosa (syn: Perlisia Tomlin, 1948) and Vargapupa n. gen. by the absence of a basal keel. Moreover, Tortulosa and Eucataulus usually have smooth shells and a basal canal in the aperture. Schistoloma Kobelt, 1902 (synonym: Pinteria Varga, 1972, see Egorov 2013) also has a more corpulent, smooth shell and some species possesses a basal keel. Pseudopomatias lacks the additional line (groove) above the suture, which is present in Csomapupa n. gen. The Australian genus Hedleya Cox, 1892 also has a similar shell in terms of shape and ribbing, but it has two canals in the aperture.
Content. P. ab l e t t i n. sp., P. amoenus Möllendorff, 1885, P. e o s Pilsbry & Hirase, 1905, P. harli n. sp., P. himalayae (Benson, 1859), P. linanprietoae n. sp., P. maasseni n. sp., P. nitens n. sp., P. peguensis (Theobald, 1864), P. pleurophorus (Benson, 1857), P. p re s t o ni n. sp., P. re i s c h ue t z i n. sp., P. shanensis n. sp., P. s i y o m e n s i s Godwin-Austen, 1917, P. sophiae n. sp.

description: La lesión renal aguda asociada al embarazo se asocia a altas tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad tanto materna como fetal. Existe una comprensión limitada de los factores de riesgo y las herramientas para el diagnóstico no están estandarizadas. A nivel mundial, los trastornos hipertensivos del embarazo son la causa más común de LRA relacionada al embarazo. La incidencia más alta de preeclampsia y eclampsia se encuentra en regiones de América y África. En cuanto a la metodología, se trata de un estudio observacional, analítico y prospectivo. Se registraron 80 pacientes cursando el tercer trimestre del embarazo con preeclampsia sometidas a operación cesárea en el Hospital Regional Materno Infantil para detectar la incidencia de cambios a nivel sérico de la creatinina y su relación con los criterios KDIGO. Se incluyeron pacientes femeninas de 18 a 40 años, sometidas a operación cesárea en el tercer trimestre del embarazo, con preeclampsia, con un ayuno preoperatorio mayor a 8 horas y uso de técnica anestésica neuro axial o anestesia general. Se valoraron sus niveles de creatinina sérica preoperatoria y a las 24 y 48 horas posoperatorias. El análisis de los datos incluyó e las pruebas de Fisher y t-Student para establecer significancia en los resultados obtenidos. Se obtuvieron resultados de una muestra de 80 pacientes, de los cuales 27 formaron el grupo de preeclampsia severa y 53 el grupo de preeclampsia no severa. La creatinina sérica preoperatoria tuvo una tendencia hacia una ligera disminución en PE-No Sev, la diferencia casi alcanza significancia estadística (PE-Sev: 0.69 mg/dL ± 0.27 vs. PE- No Sev: 0.61 mg/dL ± 0.14, p = 0.0574). A las 24 horas se obtuvo una creatinina con un valor elevado 12 en mujeres embarazadas con PE- Sev (0.76 mg /dl ± 0.35, p= 0.0251). A las 48 horas se mantuvieron valores similares a los de las 24 horas previas. Los hallazgos sugieren cambios en la creatinina sérica desde las 24 horas posoperatorias para los pacientes identificados con lesión renal aguda. Se identificó una baja incidencia de lesión renal aguda de acuerdo a los criterios KDIGO en la población estudiada con factores de riesgo como obesidad y diabetes mellitus gestacional.

description: This document presents a research thesis for the Master in Computer Science (MCCi) degree at Tecnologico de Monterrey. The field of medical imaging, particularly in endoscopy, has seen significant advancements in image enhancement techniques aimed at improving the clarity and interpretability of captured images. Numerous models and methodologies have been developed to enhance medical images, ranging from traditional algorithms to complex deep learning frameworks. However, the effective implementation of these techniques often requires substantial expertise in computer science and image processing, which may pose a barrier for medical professionals who primarily focus on clinical practice. This thesis presents a novel prompt-assisted image enhancement model that integrates the LMSPEC and STTN techniques, augmented by BERT models equipped with added attention blocks. This innovative approach enables medical practitioners to specify desired image enhancements through natural language prompts, significantly simplifying the enhancement process. By interpreting and acting upon user-defined requests, the proposed model not only empowers clinicians with limited technical backgrounds to effectively enhance endoscopic images but also streamlines diagnostic workflows. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first dedicated prompt-assisted image enhancement model specifically tailored for medical imaging applications. Moreover, the architecture of the proposed model is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing for the seamless incorporation of future image enhancement models and techniques as they emerge. This adaptability ensures that the model remains relevant and effective as the field of medical imaging continues to evolve. The results of this research contribute to the ongoing effort to make advanced image processing technologies more accessible to medical professionals, thereby enhancing the quality of care provided to patients through improved diagnostic capabilities.
