description: Vesicomyid clams in the subfamily Pliocardiinae are chemosymbiotic and specific to deep-sea chemosynthetic ecosystems with wide geographic and bathymetric ranges, making them a good model to study molecular adaptation and biogeography. The phylogeny of Pliocardiinae, however, still remains highly contentious due to limited molecular markers. Here, we elucidate the evolutionary relationships among pliocardiine species through a combination of mitogenome-based and genomics-based reconstructions. By testing a wide range of methods including maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, Bayesian interference, and coalescent approach, we present a robust phylogenetic tree supported by the AU-test and GLS analyses. We revise the genus-level taxonomy of pliocardiines based on this tree, merging a number of genera in the ‘gigas-group’ into Archivesica. Our fossil-calibrated tree reveals that Pliocardiinae originated around 42.33 Ma in the Middle Eocene, similar to other chemosynthetic bivalves such as bathymodioline mussels. Diversifications of this subfamily appears to be concurrent with global climatic cooling events, though the reason remains unclear. Ancestral state reconstruction analyses found two independent invasions into the abyssal zone, a shift from lineages harboring the Ca. Ruthia symbionts to Ca. Vesicomyosocius symbionts, and a likely Western Pacific Ocean origin. Our results present a solid backbone for the future investigations into molecular adaptation, biogeography, and symbiosis in this fascinating group of molluscs.

Thrombasia J.L. Barnard, 1966: 72.― Ledoyer, 1986: 810.
Schisturella.― Barnard & Karaman, 1991: 526 (in part).
Type species. Thrombasia tracalero J.L. Barnard, 1966, original designation.
Included species. Thrombasia includes six species: T. evalina sp. nov.; T. grabenis J.L. Barnard, 1967; T. rotundata (K.H. Barnard, 1926); T. saros sp. nov.; T. tracalero J.L. Barnard, 1966; T. umina sp. nov.
Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 flagellum article 1 lacking robust seta on distal margin; accessory flagellum forming cap. Antenna 2 flagellum articles 3–5 slender in female, article 3 enlarged in male; articles 3–5 with brush setae on the anterior margin. Mandibular incisor curved; molar a reduced column with convex triturating surface or proximally setose and distally triturating; palp attached midway. Maxilla 1 ST-7 serrate along the distomedial medial margin; ST-D slender, apically cuspidate. Maxilliped outer plate apical robust setae present. Gnathopod 1 subchelate; coxa slightly to greatly shorter than coxa 2, tapering distally; carpus slightly longer than propodus; propodus palm acute, straight. Pereopod 4 coxa with well developed posteroventral lobe. Uropod 2 inner ramus constricted. Uropod 3 rami plumose setae absent in female, present occasionally in adult male. Telson moderately cleft.
Remarks. The genus Thrombasia was established by Barnard (1966) for T. tracalero, and was subsequently placed in the synonymy of Schisturella by Barnard & Karaman (1991). However, we consider Thrombasia to be distinct from Schisturella based on the gnathopod 1 coxa, which is tapering and slightly reduced, not vestigial as in Schisturella. There are four other genera in the Tryphosa group with a gnathopod 1 coxa that is not vestigial. Of these, Thrombasia may be separated from Gronella by the gnathopod 1 carpus, which is longer than the propodus, from Tryphosa and Bruunosa in the tapering gnathopod 1 coxa, and from Glorieusella in the subchelate gnathopod 1.
Distribution. Pacific Ocean, South Atlantic Ocean.

description: Oculocutaneous Albinism Type II (OCA2) is a non-syndromic pigment disorder associated with pathogenic variants of the OCA2 gene. OCA2 encodes a membrane-spanning active transport protein essential for pH regulation and substrate trafficking in melanosomes, the organelle in which the black pigment melanin is made. Humans with OCA2 exhibit near-total loss of melanin in their hair, skin and eyes, alongside poorly understood developmental side effects, including underdeveloped and misrouted ocular sensory and motor neurons. Using a novel zebrafish mutant as a disease model for OCA2 in humans, we have created the first whole-embryonic single cell transcriptomic atlas for this condition. The oca2 mutant zebrafish exhibits abnormal number and location of iridophores, an accessory pigment cell type found in fish and amphibians. This suggests that the oca2 protein or transcript is involved in the determination of non-melanocyte cell fate within the neural crest lineage, the transient population of multipotent stem cells from which pigment cells are derived. Single cell transcriptomic analysis of the mutant revealed alterations of several gene networks involved in neural crest differentiation and specification. Notably, acp1 and ctnnb1/2 exhibited significant negative log fold change values in the neural crest. acp1, a protein tyrosine phosphatase involved in melanogenesis, is also a positive effector for transcription of beta catenin (ctnnb1/2). Beta catenin-dependent pathways Notch and Wnt were obstructed in neural crest, neural plate, and optic nerve cell populations, consistent with downstream abnormalities to non-melanocyte cell fate and number observed in the oca2 mutant. Transcription of acp1 is also known to be strongly inhibited by increases in extracellular pH. Based on this information we propose that oca2 prevents pH-

description: The dairy industry is the main agriculture driver in Idaho. Dairy production produces large quantities of manure concentrated in the Magic Valley. The raw manure produces gas emissions and has the potential to leach nutrients into water sources posing an environmental concern. An adaptable pilot-scale composting system consisting of ten reactors was designed and evaluated to determine the feasibility of the composting system and to simulate on-farm composting. Data trends show that composting was achieved for several weeks without carbon correction. This system has the potential to implore many types of on-farm treatment effects at the pilot scale.

description: Incorporating biofertilizers, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AM fungi) inoculants, into vineyard management practices may enhance vine growth and reduce environmental impact. Here, we evaluate the effects of commercially available and local AM fungal inoculants on the growth, root colonization, and nutrient uptake of wine grapes (Vitis vinifera) when planted in living field soil. In a greenhouse experiment, young wine grapes were planted in field soil and inoculated with either one of three commercially available mycorrhizal inoculant products, or one of two locally collected whole soil inoculants. After four months of growth, inoculated vines showed no differences in plant biomass, colonization of roots by AM fungi, or foliar macronutrient concentrations when compared to uninoculated controls, but vines grown with local inoculants had greater shoot biomass than vines grown with commercial mycorrhizal inoculant products. This suggests that inoculations with AM fungi may not improve young vine performance in field soils with a resident microbial community, and effects seen from inoculations on vine growth can vary by inoculant type and source. This study revealed that despite disturbance, the effects of microbial communities found in field soil can outweigh effects seen from AM fungal inoculants. However, local whole-soil inoculants may provide more plant growth benefits than commercially available inoculants.

description: This dissertation investigates the lives and works of two underappreciated nineteenth-century Scottish theologians, Thomas Erskine of Linlathen (1788-1870) and Alexander John Scott (1805-1866). In their writings, theological engagements, and cultivation of communities of learning, Erskine and Scott claimed that the pursuit of ‘knowledge of God’ (and thus, theological learning) received its proper orientation when animated by the telos of ‘at·one·ment, with God’, in holy love. Both men held that Christ’s atonement was for the sake of creation’s at·one·ment, with God: ongoing, personal being-in-relationship with God that, much like a good friendship, transforms who and what we love, but also ‘how we know and are known’. I argue that their sometimes-countercultural enactment of at·one·ment retrieves an orientation towards theological learning (and an epistemology appropriate to it) that continues to be relevant for theological education today. In Chapter 1, I provide an historical survey of Western theological education and assess how its objects, modes, and meanings have been circumscribed over the last two centuries. In Chapter 2, I outline Erskine’s atonement theology and his schema of at·one·ment, noting his emphasis on the ontologically and epistemically constitutive nature of being-in-relationship with God. Because friendship is a critical metaphor here, in Chapter 3 I reappraise the fluid interplay of Erskine’s poetics and practices of friendship, elucidating connections between relational theology and the communities of theological learning he cultivated. In Chapter 4, I reconstruct Scott’s ‘practical theological epistemology’ based on writings around his trial before the General Assembly of 1831. In Chapter 5, I trace congruencies between Scott’s emerging at·one·ment, framework and his later educational involvements with women, working class men, and Nonconformists. In Chapter 6, I conclude by assessing how reorienting theological learning through a telos of ‘at·one·ment, with God’, in holy love, helps to reframe contemporary dialogues about theological education.

description: The landscape of indirect high-power converters' control and it's drive applications has undergone significant transitions over the last decade due to the rapid expansion and development in emerging semiconductor devices, high-power conversion topologies, analog or digital electronics, autonomous control and V2G-G2V technology. This thesis investigates four branches of efforts with an emphasis on the fast dynamic response analysis and steady-state performance of high-power 2-L 3[phi] CSCs across different operational modes. Firstly, a five-segment synthesis with an optimally selected third ASV for AZS-SVM is proposed to mitigate HF CMVs introduced from Solar PVs. Secondly, a hybrid ZSV-AZS SVM technique is explored to mitigate low-order CMVs in electric drive operation. Additionally, a V-I Droop control combined with SVM technology is examined for the series-connected onshore grid-side CSIs for local operation. Finally, a novel FCS-MPC-based OEST is analyzed for stand-alone CSI drive to resolve current commutation issues during any double and quad switching transitions. Simulation and experimental results serve to validate the performance of CSC drive in achieving high-power density, modularity, reliable grid-integration, and robustness in power-electronic converter control.

description: Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) has become a public health challenge in the U.S. as an outcome of the high alcohol use rate among the public. To prevent FASD, pregnant women need to quit alcohol. This study explored if guilt appeal serves as a promising strategy in FASD prevention persuasion. An online randomized experiment (N = 323) with a 2 (guilt appeal VS. no guilt appeal) * 2 (first-person POV VS. third-person POV) between-subjects factorial design was conducted. Results showed that overall, guilt appeal messages evoked significantly higher prevention intention than no-guilt appeal messages by evoking higher anticipated guilt. Moreover, an interaction effect between guilt appeal and POV was captured. The superiority of guilt appeal was amplified when the message was written in first-person pronouns and attenuated by third-person pronouns. The role of individual motivation (controlled-motivated VS. autonomous-motivated) was also investigated. Though it was found that controlled-motivated individuals generated higher resistance toward guilt appeal messages, this relationship was not moderated by the guilt narrative’s POV. Moreover, motivation didn’t moderate the interaction effects between guilt appeal and POV on behavioral intention. Theoretical contributions and practical implications were discussed.

description: Wood is essential in construction due to its versatility and strength. However, it often faces challenges such as moisture sensitivity and lack of durability when used in siding and flooring, resulting in dimensional instability. This study assesses the use of thermally modified wood strands to produce thin-strand veneers (TMTSV) as a viable alternative for these applications. The first section explores TMTSV's improved dimensional stability, strength, and durability, highlighting its potential as a sustainable and environmentally friendly material for siding and flooring. Under various climate conditions, TMTSV demonstrates superior weather-resistant qualities compared to thin-strand veneers (TSV) produced using control or untreated strands.
description: The second section employs “Wärme und Feuchte Instationär” (WUFI) modeling software to examine the hygrothermal performance of TMTSV and TSV when used as siding materials in traditional and rain-screen wall assemblies. The findings reveal that TMTSV possesses lower porosity, and increased water absorption rates, highlighting effectiveness in moisture management.
description: Additionally, with no potential for microbial growth, TMTSV's durability and minimal
description: maintenance needs are emphasized, marking it as a practical alternative in the construction sector.

In dieser Gruppe werden 5 Arten vereinigt, von denen L. peduncularius (Strenzke), L. alpestris (Forsslund) und L. clavatus (Forsslund) durch den gleichen Sensillustyp gekennzeichnet sind und sicherlich eine natürliche Verwandtschaftsgruppe bilden. Der Sensillusstiel ist verhältnismäßig lang und sehr dünn. Von ihm ist eine relativ breite, in der Aufsicht spindelförmige Keule abgesetzt. In der Seitenansicht ist die Keule durch eine stärker gewölbte Dorsalhälfte asymmetrisch und durch eine dorsale und ventrale Distalspitze zweispitzig. Prodorsum und Opisthosoma sind sehr breit. Das Prodorsum ist mit sehr breiter Basis dem Opisthosoma angesetzt. Die Dorsalborsten sind mit Ausnahme von Liochthonius clavatus piliform, im Querschnitt rund oder oval.
Die beiden anhangsweise hierher gestellten Arten L. furcillatus (Willmann) und L. perfusorius n. sp. stimmen lediglich durch das Fehlen eines Randvelums an den Dorsalborsten und die zweispitzige, distal eingekerbte Sensilluskeule mit den übrigen Arten überein.

Discussion: Commonly included in Mustela, separated accordingly to Abramov (1999). There are significant differences between the American mink and Mustela (and other Mustelidae) according to cytogenetic and biochemical data. The level of these differences is higher then differences among Mustela species (Belyaev et al., 1980; Brinck et al., 1983; Graphodatsky et al., 1976; Kurose et al., 2000; Lushnikova et al., 1989; Taranin et al., 1991). The analyses by Graphodatsky et al. (1976), Youngman (1982), and Kurose et al. (2000) support significant divergence of vison from the Mustela lineage. Masuda and Yoshida (1994 a) argued that inclusion of vison in Mustela would make Mustela paraphyletic.

description: In the search for non-Abelian anyonic zero modes for inherently fault-tolerant quantum computing, the hybridized superconductor - quantum Hall edge system plays an important role. Inspired by recent experimental realizations of this system, we describe it through a microscopic theory based on a BCS superconductor with Rashba spin-orbit coupling and Meissner effect at the surface, which is tunnel-coupled to a spin-polarized integer or fractional quantum Hall edge. By integrating out the superconductor, we arrive at an effective theory of the proximitized edge state and establish a qualitative description of the induced superconductivity. We predict analytical relations between experimentally available parameters and the key parameters of the induced superconductivity, as well as the experimentally relevant transport signatures. Extending the model to the fractional quantum Hall case, we find that both the spin-orbit coupling and the Meissner effect play central roles. The former allows for transport across the interface, while the latter controls the topological phase transition of the induced p-wave pairing in the edge state, allows for particle-hole conversion in transport for weak induced pairing amplitudes, and determines when pairing dominates over fractionalization in the proximitized fractional quantum Hall edge. Further experimental indicators are predicted for the system of a superconductor coupled through a quantum point contact with an integer or fractional quantum Hall edge, with a Pauli blockade which is robust to interactions and fractionalization as a key indicator of induced superconductivity. With these predictions we establish a more solid qualitative understanding of this important system, and advance the field towards the realization of anyonic zero modes.

Types. Holotype, male, 4.5 mm, LACM CR 1954 - 054.1 (originally AHF 2789).
Type locality. Slope of Santa Monica Basin (33º49'59"N 118º34'05"W), 167 m.
Feeding strategy. Scavenger (from a hagfish trap) (J.L. Barnard 1967).
Depth range. 167–183 m (J.L. Barnard 1966, 1967).
Remarks. We consider Schisturella totorami to be a junior subjective synonym of Thrombasia tracalero. Both species share the same general type locality (Santa Monica Bay (167–183 m)). The only apparent difference noted from the original descriptions is that the uropod 3 rami of Schisturella totorami are strongly lined with plumose setae, whereas that of the holotype of T. tracalero is not. However, the T. tracalero holotype is probably an immature specimen.
The mandibular molar of Thrombasia tracalero is asymmetrical, proximally setose and distally triturating and thus differs from all other members of the genus that have a columnar molar with oval fully triturating surface.
Distribution. East Pacific Ocean. Santa Monica Basin, California, USA (J.L. Barnard 1966, 1967).

description: In the first half of this thesis, we present two models of ancilla-based quantum computation (ABQC). Computation in the ABQC models is based on effecting changes on a register through the interaction with and manipulation of an ancillary system. The two models presented enable quantum computation through only unitary control of the ancilla – the ancilla-controlled model (ACQC) – or supplemented by measurements on the ancilla which drive the register transfor- mations – the ancilla-driven model (ADQC). For each of the models, we work on systems which couple two continuous variables (CV) or which are hybrid: the register is formed by two-level systems while the ancilla is a CV degree of freedom. The initial models are presented using eigenstates of momentum as the ancillas. We move to a more realistic scenario by modelling the ancillas as finitely squeezed states. We find that the completely unitary ACQC contains persistent entanglement between register and ancilla in the finite-squeezing scenario. In the ancilla-driven model, the effect of finite squeezing is to scale the register state by a real exponential which is inversely proportional to the squeezing in the ancilla. In the second part, we cover work on Genuine Gaussian Multipartite Entanglement (Gaussian GME). We present an algorithm for finding Gaussian states that have GME despite having all two-state reductions separable. This touches on the idea of entanglement as an emergent phenomenon. We determine GME via witnesses which probe only a subset of the state. We therefore referred to them as partially blind witnesses. The algorithm is based on semi-definite programs (SDPs). Such optimisation schemes can be used to efficiently find an optimal, partially blind, GME witness for a given CM and vice versa. We then present results of multipartite states of up to six parties. For the tripartite example, we present two experimental schemes to produce the state using a circuit of beam-splitters and squeezers.

description: Pacific salmon and trout are ecologically, economically, and culturally invaluable to their native waters. In recent history, a wide range of threats including climate change, habitat destruction and loss and invasions of non-native species have severely impacted many populations of Pacific salmon and trout. Large-scale efforts to conserve, restore, and protect salmon and trout require consistent and extensive monitoring to assess success and areas for improvement. One such monitoring strategy uses the detection of environmental DNA (eDNA), an organism’s DNA suspended in its occupied habitat medium. Utilized by many for its cost-effective and simple deployment, eDNA provides a binary present or absent indication for a target species. Traditionally, eDNA samples are processed in a sterile laboratory with results visualized via qPCR. However, many groups lack access to equipment such as qPCR, leading to extended wait-periods to receive results when samples are outsourced to dedicated laboratories. Therefore, a simplified and rapid method to detect eDNA would be of great benefit. CRISPR-Cas12a nucleic acid detection was employed to detect specific sequences from salmon and trout species. The technology was then paired with Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification to sensitively detect a target species’ eDNA. Field-capable protocols were designed and tested for the option to obtain real-time streamside results. The technology was piloted on the Snake River, detecting Chinook salmon in correspondence with positive identification from a nearby fish ladder. Subsequently, an invasive species identification study deployed CRISPR-eDNA assays to detect the presence of brook trout and cutthroat trout in a Washington State Stream. Chinook salmon were successfully detected in the Snake River, and brook trout and cutthroat trout were identified as occupying the same spatial range within the study area. This body of work provides a foundation for improving the simplicity and efficiency of environmental DNA sampling.
