(Fig. 8J)
Material examined. Brazil, São Paulo: 1 ♀, CCDB 6707, Ubatuba, Itaguá, Porto de Itaguá, colls. R. Santos & I. Moraes, i.2019; 1 ♂, CCDB 6713, Cananéia, Ilha da Figueira, colls. R. Santos & I. Moraes, 27.xi.2020.
Distribution. Western Atlantic— USA (Florida), Mexico (Yucatan Peninsula), Cuba, and Brazil (Pernambuco, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo) (Chace 1972; Abele & Kim 1986; Camp et al. 1998; Coelho et al. 2006; Duris et al. 2009; Vieira et al. 2012; Pachelle et al. 2015; Moraes et al. 2020b).
Remarks. Previous records from the coast of São Paulo include Ubatuba, in Pier do Porto in Itaguá (Moraes et al. 2020b). It is found in shallow waters associated with sponges (Chace 1972; Ramos-Porto & Coelho 1998; Vieira et al. 2012; Pachelle et al. 2015; Moraes et al. 2020b). In general, shrimps of the genus dwell deep in sponge canals (Duris et al. 2011; Anker et al. 2021). Probably due to these, its small size (carapace length: 1.53–2.71 mm) and the relationship among the shrimp’s color and the sponge host (Moraes et al. 2020b), it is hard to sample. There is available material from São Paulo coast in other collections such as MZUSP 40095 and 40096, and it is deposited in the Biological Collection from São Paulo State University—Zoology Department, Botucatu-SP (Moraes et al. 2020a). Sequences accession number (GenBank): CCDB 6713—16S (OM720040), COI (OM672405) (present study).

Remarks. Species of Nearctic origin (Kovalenko et al. 2016), with natural hosts such as Yucca sp. (Asparagaceae) and other semisucculent plants. Hatch (1940) observed C. angustus in a flour mill in Seattle in 1939. Cynaeus angustus is considered a potential storage insect pest globally (Furui et al. 2020), and it has already been reported to cause damage to various stored grains, particularly corn (Dunkel et al. 1982). The species was recently found in Romania (Pintilioaie & Teodorescu 2021), and the current new records suggest that it already has some stable populations spread across the country.

Collecting conditions. All specimens from Dumbrăveni were collected at light in an area intensively grazed just at the edge of Dumbrăveni forest.
Distribution. Species originating in India, described in 1880 from specimens collected in Calcutta (Ando et al. 2016), currently recorded in 6 continents (Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Asia and Australia) (Bousquet et al. 2018; Iwan et al. 2020; Hilman et al. 2023; Nowosielski-Slepowron & Aryeetey 1980). In Europe, it is known from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Russia: European Territory, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Ukraine (Iwan et al. 2020), Bulgaria (Sivilov & Cvetkovska-Gorgievska 2014) and Romania (this paper). Romania is a new country record.
Notes. It resembles Tribolium beetles in general shape and feeding habits but is pale yellow, slightly shorter, and slenderer, with the head protruding well beyond the eyes (Badaw 1972).
The species was recorded in Europe at the end of the 19th century in Norway (Seebens et al. 2017). L. oryzae is well adapted to tropical storage conditions (Nowosielski-Slepowron & Aryeetey 1980) living in open rather than stored products and develops in rotten wood or under bark (Andres 1927). It is a secondary pest of cereals and oilseeds and was first recorded from Bulgaria with shipments of foods such as rice, groundnut, sorghum and maize (Atanasov 1982).

The pessimism of Sallust's moral and historical outlook
Creators: name: Mumper, Brian Matthew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This study examines each of the three works of Sallust – the Bellum Catilinae, the Bellum Iugurthinum, and the Histories – and attempts to reevaluate the prevailing views on Sallust’s outlook on Roman history and Roman morality.  Although many scholars have seen a degree of optimism in Sallust’s earliest work, the Bellum Catilinae, and an evolution toward deeper pessimism in his last work, the Histories, this study presents a thorough case for seeing a consistent pessimism about Roman history and Roman morality pervading all three of his texts.  By considering factors ranging from the key role given to the concept of metus hostilis (fear of the enemy) in his scheme of moral and historical causation, to the various manipulations of chronology, narrative order, and historical detail that his texts present to us, we may gain an enhanced recognition of the careful techniques by which Sallust constantly crafts his own unique (and pessimistic) view of Roman history and morality.  Along the way, this study addresses some lingering misconceptions about Sallust’s alleged political biases and philosophical sympathies in order to clear the way for an unclouded interpretation of the evidence of Sallust’s texts.  We shall conclude by asking what insights we might gain into the nature of Sallust’s historical and moral orientation by taking into account the tumultuous socio-political context of the Triumviral Period in which Sallust was writing, and how some of his contemporaries responded to the same tensions, concerns, and conflicts of that era.   Overall our investigation will show that, while Sallust’s pessimism about Roman history and Roman morality was certainly influenced by the social and political developments of his own age, the unabating consistency and unmatched profundity of Sallustian pessimism demands that we understand Sallust on his own terms and that we recognize the many thoughtful techniques by which he gives voice to his unique perspective on Roman history.

Discerning the effect of salt, riboflavin and MTHFR on acute blood pressure response
Creators: name: Murphy, Melissa Anne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Problem: Elevated blood pressure (BP) is a top cause of mortality and leads to millions of global deaths each year; yet the cause of general hypertension (HTN) is not known. Many studies link dietary factors, particularly high sodium levels, with HTN and related cardiovascular diseases. Other studies have identified certain genes, including methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) involved in folate metabolism, with a greater risk of developing HTN.  Hypothesis: These studies sought to identify the impact of MTHFR genotype on the acute BP response to salt ingestion. We hypothesized that individuals would have a greater decrease in BP following salt ingestion compared to water and that this response would be diminished by the MTHFR 677TT variant allele.   Methods: In an initial cohort, acute BP response was assessed, multiple times per subject, in a series of time points following an ingestion of salt or water. A secondary cohort was formed of individuals with MTHFR677 genotypes whose BP and blood were collected. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma riboflavin, homocysteine, MTHFR genotype and nitrate/nitrite levels. These data were analyzed for differences in BP response, genotypes, micronutrient status and for associations between subjects’ characteristics and BP response.  Results: BP decreases within the first 60 minutes following salt ingestion. When measuring resting BP, no difference was found in BP between MTHFR genotypes. However, individuals with the 677TT variant genotype demonstrated an attenuated acute BP response to salt ingestion compared to individuals with the wild-type 677CC genotype.  Conclusions: BP decreases acutely in response to salt ingestion. The MTHFR 677TT variant genotype was not associated with elevated resting BP. However, measuring acute BP response illustrated a limited response in the MTHFR variant genotype compared with the wild-type MTHFR genotype. These findings suggest that acute BP response may be a useful measure of a dynamic system, highlighting characteristics that are risk factors for HTN.
The role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in the regulation of dendritic arbor morphology, neuronal network activity, and neuroprotection

description: The dendritic architecture of a neuron determines how it receives inputs, and thus, changes in dendrite morphology will affect connectivity among neurons. Aberrant changes in the development of the arbor, or after the arbor has formed, can disrupt the functioning of neural circuits, causing severe brain dysfunction and leading to pathologies seen in cognitive disorders, neurological diseases, and trauma. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is one of the most well-studied regulators of dendritic and synaptic plasticity. It is also known to be a pro-survival factor and is overexpressed in neurons that survive injuries, such as ischemia. This dissertation explores how BDNF shapes the dendritic arbor of single hippocampal neurons and the dynamics of in vitro hippocampal networks. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that BDNF significantly increases proximal dendrite branching in hippocampal neurons after 72 hours of bath application. Building on this work, we show that local application of BDNF via microbeads increases both proximal and distal dendrite branching in a shorter time than does bath application. We also show that overexpression of BDNF shapes the dendritic arbor differently depending on the intracellular targeting of BDNF transcripts. To understand how BDNF affects the development of hippocampal neuronal networks, we use microelectrode arrays (MEAs) to record the spontaneous activity of these networks before and after bath application of BDNF. Our results suggest a role for BDNF in the long-term development of neuronal network dynamics, as changes in network parameters were only observed at one week after treatment. Finally, we explore whether BDNF exerts neuroprotective effects following excitotoxic injury. Global activity parameters decrease following injury with excess glutamate with no benefit from BDNF treatment, but BDNF does protect connections with distinct baseline synchronizations from injury-induced decreases. Taken together, our results indicate that BDNF is involved in the development of the dendritic arbor, the maturation of neuronal networks, and the protection of distinct connections after excitotoxic injury.

Notes: The SEMs presented here compliment the drawings in Shear (1971). The two-branched gonopods (Figs. 255, 256) are unique in that the anterior branches, which are set with tiny cuticular projections, seem to arise from the sternal part of the coxosternum, which can be seen in a posterior view (Fig. 256) to be poorly sclerotized. The posterior gonopod coxites (Fig. 257) have an anterior movable flagellum made up of several separate filaments.

Satellite-assisted content delivery network using MobilityFirst future internet architecture
Creators: name: Penugonde, Shashikanth Rangan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: This thesis presents the design of a satellite-assisted CDN that utilizes the MobilityFirst Future Internet Architecture (MF-FIA) for content delivery. Current CDN solutions require an overlay control framework on top of IP to deal with content caching and delivery. However these features can be integrated into the network layer in an ICN based design. The proposed CDN solution uses MobilityFirst, a representative example of ICN to show the benefit of an integrated network layer solution. The framework uses in-network caches to reduce the latency of content delivery relative to overlay CDN designs. Content requests are efficiently routed to the nearest content source using the MobilityFirst routing protocol. As content providers are aware of content popularity and its distribution, the framework supports a pushing mechanism where content providers can pro-actively push popular contents to designated cache locations. This can be efficiently done using services such as multicast or broadcast which are natively supported in MobilityFirst. The routing mechanism can choose to deliver contents either through a terrestrial network or through a broadcast medium such as a satellite. Finally the proposed architecture uses self-certifying content names that enable efficient content validation.    A proof of concept prototype was created to demonstrate the feasibility of this solution and to conduct performance studies on the effectiveness of content caching in the network. The prototype includes Click based MobilityFirst routers, a GNRS, a content provider and a Click based satellite emulation. The benefit of in-network caches was studied by requesting contents with popularity drawn from a Zipf distribution. Results obtained with the prototype system demonstrated that clients experienced reduced delay due to in-network caches and that a fairly high cache hit ratio was achieved in some content distributions even when the cache only stored a small portion of the total contents. The evaluation was also used to study the impact of key parameters such as the Zipf distribution parameter and cache size on metrics such as delay and cache hit ratio.

Organic microelectromechanical relay technology for ultralow-power flexible transparent large-area electronics
Creators: name: Pan, Yanbiao
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2017

description: Much research to date has focused on synthesizing new polymers or improving existing polymers, in order to overcome the limits of the conventional organic thin-film transistor (OTFT): (1) A rather low channel carrier mobility (< 20 cm2V-1s-1 typically) requires a power supply voltage well above 2 V for a reasonable on-/off-current ratio (> 105); (2) The formation of a relatively poor-quality interface between the polymeric channel and gate insulator induces large off-state leakage current well above 10-13 A; (3) Asymmetric pairs of n- and p-type OTFTs result in noncomplementary switching. All these would affect the overall power consumption at the transistor, circuit, and system levels. This doctoral dissertation proposes and demonstrates radically-different, organic microelectromechanical (MEM) relays, in order to overcome such limits and hence enable efficient implementation of portable and/or wearable large-area electronics for the internet of things requiring ultralow-power operation, structural flexibility, visual transparency, and low-cost/-temperature processing. Firstly, a polymer-based low-thermal-budget surface-micromachining process is developed to implement organic relay prototypes (comprising multiple or single input/output terminals). Fabricated relays exhibit unique I-V characteristics including immeasurably-low off-state leakage current, abrupt transitions to the on-/off-state with an input voltage swing less than 60 mV for a decade change in output current, a relatively high on/off current ratio well above 105, and complementary switching behavior and can endure a finite number of hot- and cold-switching cycles. Secondly, the effects of humidity, temperature, and low-surface-energy contacting electrodes materials on switching characteristics (such as hysteresis voltages and on-state resistance) are investigated. Thirdly, basic Boolean operations including AND, OR, and XOR and logic functions (e.g., carry bit generation for four inputs) are demonstrated using a multi-input/-output relay.
Critical zeros of class group L-functions

Year: 2017

description: For an imaginary quadratic field, we define and study L-functions associated to the characters of the ideal class group of that field. After proving the main properties of these L-functions, we analyze them together as a family, with the goal of counting their zeros on the critical line. Our main result shows that any positive proportion of L-functions in this family has critical zeros of height bounded by an absolute constant times a factor that depends only slightly on the discriminant of the field. The main tools we make use of are the approximate functional equation and the equidistribution of Heegner points, which we use to obtain explicit formulas for the average of the square of the L-functions on the critical line.
