Predicting the potential geographic distributions of three non-native cichlids in Florida with climate change
Creators: name: Andreoli, Joseph A.
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Non-native species and climate change are two of the most pressing issues facing Florida in the Anthropocene. Due to Florida’s extensive hydrological alteration, subtropical climate, and large population size, the state is a hotspot for non-native fish introductions. Of these introductions, the cichlids are the largest group, popular in aquaculture, and among anglers and aquarists, with many introduced species of cichlid having established in Florida. These species may cause various environmental and socioeconomic impacts to the state.

This study is focused on the potential geographic distributions of three species: African Jewelfish (Hemichromis letourneuxi Sauvage, 1880), Blue Tilapia (Oreochromis aureus Steindachner, 1864), and Mayan Cichlid (Cichlasoma urophthalmus, Gunther, 1862). The research questions of this study are as follows: where is the current distribution of suitable habitat for these species in the state? Where will suitable habitat be distributed in the future? This study correlates the georeferenced presence points of the three different species and the current bioclimatic and hydrological variables at those sites using maximum entropy modeling (Maxent), in a species distribution modeling (SDM) framework. These relationships are then projected to two different representative concentration pathways (RCPs), further into the Anthropocene- the years 2050 and 2070.The resulting maps of suitable habitat are reported at the finest resolution available- 1 square-kilometer. For the African Jewelfish, suitable habitat in the state is expected to stall in 2050 and 2070 under both RCPs. For the Blue Tilapia, an expansion of suitable habitat will occur throughout Florida, including in novel environmental space in the northwest of the state. Suitable habitat for the Mayan Cichlid is predicted to contract, only occurring within canals- themselves a novel habitat feature on the landscape. The strongest parameter in driving the distribution of suitable habitat was minimum temperature of the coldest month. For regions supporting rich fish diversity and endemism like the Southeastern United States, managers may use this SDM framework in prioritizing effort and limited resources in controlling those non-native species causing the most negative impacts. While in the case of the Blue Tilapia there are climate change risks predicted in this study, there are also management opportunities, as suggested by the Mayan Cichlid findings.

description: Citronella oil, extracted from Cymbopogon species (winterianus and nardus) is a commercially valuable essential oil used in personal-care products and insect repellents. Routine analysis in gas chromatography is incapable of detecting high-boiling adulterants therein. In this study, an HPTLC technique was developed for the absolute quantification of citronellal (characteristic chemical marker) and triglyceride (main constituent of vegetable oil adulterant) in citronella oil for its quality assessment. It was validated in terms of specificity, linearity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision. Further, the developed method was employed to quantify citronellal and triglyceride in twenty commercial samples. The results showed a wide variation in citronellal content (trace to 30.65% w/w) and could differentiate its two chemotypes. Also, it revealed the possibility of vegetable oil adulteration through the detection and quantification of triglyceride in selected samples. It can be a simple and rapid technique for the quality control of citronella oil.

description: La actual proliferación de producciones independientes en distintas áreas de la cultura constituye una particularidad de los últimos diez años en Argentina. En el marco del progresivo reconocimiento oficial de la importancia económica de las industrias culturales, las producciones editorial y musical resultan dos casos significativos de ese proceso. En ellas se ha desarrollado un conjunto de iniciativas, emprendimientos y proyectos que, poniendo el acento en lo independiente, procura crear y recrear la industria editorial y la musical. Ante la ausencia de una conceptualización precisa respecto de la relación entre independencia y cultura y a través de los casos mencionados, se indagan sus múltiples definiciones, características simbólicas y materiales, así como los conflictos y tensiones allí presentes, apelando para ello a una mirada cualitativa centrada en la voz de los actores.

Abstract
Current proliferation of independent productions among the many cultural fields constitutes a peculiar sign of the last ten years in Argentina. Within the framework of a progressive official recognition of the economic importance of cultural industries, the editorial and record productions become two significant cases of this process. Both have shown a group of initiatives, undertakings and projects which, emphasizing independence, propose to create and recreate the music and literature industries. Given the absence of a precise conceptualization of the relation between independence and culture, we explore through the mentioned cases its multiple definitions, symbolic and material characteristics and also the conflicts and tensions that take place here. With this objective, we appeal to a qualitative perspective based on the analysis of actors voices obtained through in-depth interviews.

description: The idea that the US media is biased against organized labor may seem too obvious to require comment and research, but the details are quite important to understanding to to communicate more effectively between voices of the labor community and voices of management.  The common assumption that labor media coverage became more skewed with the recent decline of unions in the US, but William Puette's _Through Jaundiced Eyes: How the Media view Organized Labor_ shows this is erroneous. He shows how editorial cartoons, for examples, demonized labor from the work of Thomas Nast drawing for _Harper's Monthly_ onward.

description: Immediately following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi troops in August 1990, many scholars and practitioners in the field of conflict resolution went on record opposing military action by United States or United Nations forces to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi occupation. At a forum sponsored by the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University and televised nationally by C-SPAN in September 1990, a number of us argued that war was unnecessary because better means of resolving current disputes between Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia were available. Negotiations dealing with the immediate issues in dispute--the Rumaillah oil field, Iraq's war debts, and so forthcould get the Iraqis out of Kuwait before they laid waste the country. Meanwhile, using facilitated problem-solving processes, the parties could begin to deal with the fundamental causes of the conflict, of which Saddam Hussein's militarism was only a symptom: problems like the needs of ethnic and religious groups for identity and autonomy, the great disparities of wealth and income among the peoples of the region, and the need of the region as a whole for independence from foreign domination and manipulation. If these problems were not dealt with locally, we warned, the Persian Gulf would remain a hotbed of conflict and a magnet for continuing foreign intervention.

description: The present investigation was carried out to characterise bioactive components from G. senegalensis by using Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR) spectroscopy, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of > CH2, -CH3, C = C-C, C-H, C-F, C = C, -C = N-, C-C = N-, and -OH functional groups. The 1H-NMR spectrum revealed the presence of structures of four bioactive compounds i.e. tetratetracontana derivative, β-carotene, amyrin, and terpineol. GC-MS revealed the presence of different types of high and low molecular weight chemical entities with varying quantities including volatile and essential oil, monoterpenoid, tetraterpenoid, carotenoid, terpenoid, triterpenes, and nortriterpenes. From the results, it could be concluded that G. senegalensis contains various bioactive compounds of biological and pharmacological importance. Overall, this study will provide insight into the characterisation and development of drugs from medicinal plants.

Active Galactic Nuclei And Their Panchromatic Beauty.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Active Galactic Nuclei

description: The rapid development of new observational capabilities provides the ability to detect both the obscured (Type 2) and the unobscured (Type 1) flavours of active galaxies. In particular, the combination of sensitive observations from mid-IR to X-rays allows us to pierce through large columns of gas and dust hiding the Type 2 obscured AGN nuclear region. The study of the relative AGN/host-galaxy contribution over different portions of the broad-band Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) is fundamental to constrain the physical evolution of AGN and how to place them into the context of galaxy evolution.

I will discuss a study of the multi-wavelength properties of an X-ray selected sample of both obscured and unobscured AGN using the XMM-Newton wide field survey in the COSMOS field. I will focus on their SEDs, the morphology of the host-galaxies, the stellar masses, the bolometric luminosities and bolometric corrections. Finally, I will briefly discuss what are the perspectives of AGN in the context of observational cosmology.

description: The current mainstream multi-modal medical image-to-image translation methods face a contradiction. Supervised methods with outstanding performance rely on pixel-wise aligned training data to constrain the model optimization. However, obtaining pixel-wise aligned multi-modal medical image datasets is challenging. Unsupervised methods can be trained without paired data, but their reliability cannot be guaranteed. At present, there is no ideal multi-modal medical image-to-image translation method that can generate reliable translation results without the need for pixel-wise aligned data. This work aims to develop a novel medical image-to-image translation model that is independent of pixel-wise aligned data (MITIA), enabling reliable multi-modal medical image-to-image translation under the condition of misaligned training data. The proposed MITIA model utilizes a prior extraction network composed of a multi-modal medical image registration module and a multi-modal misalignment error detection module to extract pixel-level prior information from training data with misalignment errors to the largest extent. The extracted prior information is then used to construct a regularization term to constrain the optimization of the unsupervised cycle-consistent GAN model, restricting its solution space and thereby improving the performance and reliability of the generator. We trained the MITIA model using six datasets containing different misalignment errors and two well-aligned datasets. Subsequently, we compared the proposed method with six other state-of-the-art image-to-image translation methods. The results of both quantitative analysis and qualitative visual inspection indicate that MITIA achieves superior performance compared to the competing state-of-the-art methods, both on misaligned data and aligned data.

description: Porophyllum ruderale (Jacq.) Cass. (Asteraceae) has antiprotozoal properties and contains extractable phenolic compounds by the maceration method (M). However, new extraction proposals such as ultrasound (U), microwaves (MW), and ultrasound/microwaves (U/MW) have emerged to optimise yields, but it is unknown if these methods modify effectiveness. Therefore, the study consisted of extracting the aerial part of P. ruderale with ethanol using the M, U, MW and U/MW methods to study its composition by RP-HPLC-ESI-MS, its total polyphenol content and its effect against Entamoeba histolytica. The study showed that U, MW and U/MW did not modify the extraction yield compared to M, but they did change the composition and the total polyphenol content. All extracts contain phloretin, caffeic acid 4-O-glucoside, todolactol A, quercetin 3-O-glucoside, quercetin 3-O-rhamnoside, luteolin and 3,7-dimethylquercetin, and affected the growth of E. histolytica. However, M and U extracts were the most effective at 5 mg/mL.

description: We examine the geometrical differences between the black hole~(BH) and naked singularity~(NS) or superspinar via Lense-Thirring~(LT) precession in spinning modified-gravity~(MOG). For BH case, we show that the LT precession frequency~($Ω_{LT}$) along the pole is proportional to the angular-momentum~($J$) parameter or spin parameter~($a$) and is inversely proportional to the cubic value of radial distance parameter, and also governed by Eq.(1). Along the equatorial plane it is governed by Eq.(2). While for superspinar, we show that the LT precession frequency is inversely proportional to the cubic value of the spin parameter and it decreases with distance by MOG parameter as derived in Eq.(3) at the pole and in the limit $a>>r$ (where $α$ is MOG parameter). For $θ\neq\fracπ{2}$ and in the superspinar limit, the spin frequency varies as $Ω_{LT}\propto \frac{1}{a^3\cos^4θ}$ and by Eq.(38)

description: Apart from a strong association with childhood-onset asthma, orosomucoid 1-like protein 3 (ORMDL3), an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-localized transmembrane protein, is also linked with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in which cigarette smoke (CS) is the crucial risk factor. Compared to healthy subjects, COPD patients had elevated ORMDL3 mRNA in well-differentiated primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). However, its role in COPD remains understudied. We, therefore, hypothesize that ORMDL3 may play an essential role in CS-induced chronic mucus hypersecretion and inflammation via activation of specific unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways under ER stress in primary HBECs. Gene silencing using siRNA for ORMDL3 was performed in submerged culture of primary HBECs before 24-h cigarette smoke medium (CSM) exposure. The mucin, inflammatory and mitochondrial markers, and the activation of the UPR pathways were evaluated. CSM triggered significant induction of ORMDL3 expression at both mRNA and protein level, which was significantly inhibited by silencing ORMDL3. In addition, ORMDL3 knockdown inhibited CSM-induced mucin MUC5AC mRNA and release of inflammatory marker interleukin (IL)-8. Silencing ORMDL3 reduced CSM-induced ER stress via inhibiting the activating transcription factor (ATF)6 and the inositol-requiring enzyme (IRE)1 of the UPR pathways. The involvement of ORMDL3 was demonstrated in mitochondrial dynamics via fusion protein Mfn2 and mitochondrial respiration after CSM stimulation. In conclusion, ORMDL3 is an inducible gene in mediating CS-induced activation of specific ATF6 and IRE1 pathways to regulate mucus hypersecretion and inflammation. Therefore, ORMDL3 may be a promising therapeutic target to treat smoking-associated mucus hypersecretion and inflammation in COPD.

We further enhance the capabilities of the LLMs using in-context learning, and test the performance of an ensemble model incorporating multiple open-source LLMs. The findings indicate that LLMs can significantly enhance the accuracy and timeliness of epidemic modelling and forecasting, offering a promising tool for managing future pandemic events.

description: The gamma-ray band is the most energetic part of the electromagnetic spectrum. As such it is also where selection effects are most severe, as it can only be reached by the most extreme non-thermal AGN. Blazars, with their emission dominated by non-thermal blue-shifted radiation arising in a relativistic jet pointed in the direction of the observer, naturally satisfy this though requirement. For this reason, albeit these sources are intrisically very rare (orders of magnitude less abundant than radio quiet AGN of the same optical magnitude) they almost completely dominate the extragalactic gamma-ray and very high energy sky. I will discuss the emission of different types of blazars and the selection effects that are

at play in the gamma-ray band based on recent results from the current generation of gamma-ray astronomy satellites, ground-based Cherenkov telescopes, and Monte Carlo simulations.

description: Karst regions and their associated underground caverns provide a specialized laboratory with a relatively stable climate and well-defined borders.  Interrelationships between these subterranean environments and the above ground epigean environment affect dispersion and distribution of cave organisms among the macro and microhabitats.  This study contributes to a better understanding of the seasonal fluctuations of the abiotic and biotic parameters needed to protect fragile ecosystems.  The current study, funded by a NSF Noyce grant and the U.S. Forest Service, duplicates the baseline study to determine the effects of 40 years of tourism on Blanchard Springs Caverns. The baseline study was initiated, in 1972, before the caverns were opened to the public.  One new entrance, numerous trails, and incandescent lighting were added after the initial study.  The limestone cave system is located in the Sylamore Ranger District of the Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, fifteen miles northwest of Mountain View, Stone County, Arkansas.  Water quality measures, fauna counts, and temperature sensors, placed in three zones (the twilight, the variable temperature, and the constant temperature) throughout the caverns, monitored changes during the yearlong study.  The results were compared with baseline measures.

Epigean fluctuations occurred in the twilight zone, but no changes was recorded over 40 years in the deeper constant temperature zones of the caverns.
Temperatures in the constant temperature zone were 14°C, the annual mean temperature of the region.  Water quality measurements were dissolved Oxygen, 8 mg/L; total hardness, 153.9 mg/L; and alkalinity, 95 mg/ L of CaCO3.  The only measurement that varied was pH, with the baseline value being pH 8.2 and the current value being pH 7.  New species of invertebrates were recorded compared with the baseline study.  Gray Bat, Myotis grisescens, winter populations and distributions were found to have increased dramatically from approximately 6,000 bats prior to 1963 to 372,726 in 2016.  The research is of special importance because the caverns are a winter hibernacula for the endangered Gray Bat, Myotis grisescens, and other rare cave organisms that are susceptible to white-nose syndrome, Pseudogymnoascus destructans.  These results suggest limited, if any, disturbance to the fragile ecosystems of Blanchard Springs Caverns due to tourism.  In fact, the cave system appears to have improved since the baseline study.  This may be due to limited and supervised access, especially during winter months, and strong conservation-minded leadership.

description: Uncertainty quantification is a key pillar of trustworthy machine learning. It enables safe reactions under unsafe inputs, like predicting only when the machine learning model detects sufficient evidence, discarding anomalous data, or emitting warnings when an error is likely to be inbound. This is particularly crucial in safety-critical areas like medical image classification or self-driving cars. Despite the plethora of proposed uncertainty quantification methods achieving increasingly higher scores on performance benchmarks, uncertainty estimates are often shied away from in practice. Many machine learning projects start from pretrained latent representations that come without uncertainty estimates. Uncertainties would need to be trained by practitioners on their own, which is notoriously difficult and resource-intense.
 This thesis makes uncertainty estimates easily accessible by adding them to the latent representation vectors of pretrained computer vision models. Besides proposing approaches rooted in probability and decision theory, such as Monte-Carlo InfoNCE (MCInfoNCE) and loss prediction, we delve into both theoretical and empirical questions. We show that these unobservable uncertainties about unobservable latent representations are indeed provably correct. We also provide an uncertainty-aware representation learning (URL) benchmark to compare these unobservables against observable ground-truths. Finally, we compile our findings to pretrain lightweight representation uncertainties on large-scale computer vision models that transfer to unseen datasets in a zero-shot manner.
 Our findings do not only advance the current theoretical understanding of uncertainties over latent variables, but also facilitate the access to uncertainty quantification for future researchers inside and outside the field, enabling straightforward but trustworthy machine learning.

A dominant plant (Caesalpinia spinosa) drives plant-pollinator interactions for an understory species in arid Southern Peru

description: Background/Question/Methods

In arid environments, dominant plants such as shrubs or trees typically facilitate other plant species within their understory. These direct positive effects are relatively well studied; however, the indirect effects arising from this interaction are not. Here, the magnet hypothesis for pollination was tested using the dominant plant Caesalpinia spinosa and its associated understory species Grindelia glutinosa. We predicted that visitation rate (a proxy of pollination), abundance, and diversity of arthropod pollinators should increase for the target understory species when associated with C. spinosa. To test this hypothesis, pollination visitation to the understory target was recorded using iPod Nanos and pan traps both under C. spinosa and in open adjacent microsites. The experiment was replicated twice – when C. spinosa was flowering, and when it was in vegetative state (but with the understory species in flower in both instances).

Results/Conclusions

We found higher abundance and diversity of visitors in microsites associated with the dominant plant, and this facilitation was greater when the dominant was also in flower. Arthropod communities occurring in open microsites were subsamples of the arthropod communities visiting understory microsites. The most dominant taxa in both microsites were Hymenoptera and Diptera. Overall, this study demonstrates that dominant plants increase pollination visitation for understory species, which provides support for the magnet hypothesis. Moreover, this study also provides evidence of indirect effects mediated by dominant plants that go beyond plant-plant interactions. Finally, we show that dominant plants are important for understory species because they enhance pollinator services locally.

description: The Milliennium Ecosystem Assessment identifies four classes of ecosystem services: supporting, regulating, provisioning, and cultural. Economic values have been calculated for supporting and regulating services in many cities. Provisioning and cultural ecosystem services have gone largely unexamined. A small but growing body of literature indicates human foraging for plant materials in urban environments supports material and cultural wellbeing in cities throughout the world. Drawing on this literature and that demonstrating the contributions of urban community gardens to social-ecological memory and resilience, we undertook research on foraging in New York, New York by two immigrant communities: Chinese/Chinese American and Mexican residents. Using semi-structured interviews conducted in interviewees’ preferred language (Cantonese, English, Mandarin, or Spanish) and participant observation, we sought to answer the questions: What species and spaces are foraged? What knowledge supports these practices? and What is their significance for foragers? In particular, we examined the qualitative contributions of foraging to household consumption and wellbeing in the face of novel ecologies and the dislocations of migration.

description: In recent years, the field of Natural Language Generation (NLG) has been boosted by the recent advances in deep learning technologies. Nonetheless, these new data-intensive methods introduce language-dependent disparities in NLG as the main training data sets are in English. Also, most neural NLG systems use decoder-only (causal) transformer language models, which work well for English, but were not designed with other languages in mind. In this work we depart from the hypothesis that they may introduce generation bias in target languages with less rigid word ordering, subject omission, or different attachment preferences for relative clauses, so that for these target languages other language generation strategies may be more desirable. This paper first compares causal and non-causal language modeling for English and Spanish, two languages with different grammatical structures and over 1.5 billion and 0.5 billion speakers, respectively. For this purpose, we define a novel metric of average causal and non-causal context-conditioned entropy of the grammatical category distribution for both languages as an information-theoretic a priori approach. The evaluation of natural text sources (such as training data) in both languages reveals lower average non-causal conditional entropy in Spanish and lower causal conditional entropy in English. According to this experiment, Spanish is more predictable than English given a non-causal context. Then, by applying a conditional relative entropy metric to text generation experiments, we obtain as insights that the best performance is respectively achieved with causal NLG in English, and with non-causal NLG in Spanish. These insights support further research in NLG in Spanish using bidirectional transformer language models.
