description: E-cigarette use in adolescence is associated with subsequent smoking initiation, especially among those who would otherwise be at low risk. As such, it is important to understand the social factors influencing teens’ e-cigarette use. Social media (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) use may be influential because it provides rich information about peers’ behavior, including e-cigarette use, and is nearly universal among adolescents. Exposure to e-cigarette ads increases young people’s curiosity about e-cigarettes, intentions to use, and actual use. Social media content may have an even stronger influence because it shows peers’ behavior. This study will be among the first to examine the effects of peer-generated social media content on adolescents’ e-cigarette use and to explore their perceptions of social media content related to tobacco products.

 In Study 1, participants will view social media posts that were supposedly made by peers or by advertisers, and that are related or unrelated to e-cigarettes. Then, they will report their willingness to use e-cigarettes. Study 2 will use interviews with adolescent social media users to identify common themes in their experiences with social media content, and their perceptions of the effects social media has on their willingness to use e-cigarettes.

 Given the alarming associations between adolescent e-cigarette use and subsequent initiation of smoking, this project would provide timely data on a potentially important source of adolescents’ exposure to e-cigarette content: social media. Conclusions from both studies will inform the development of social media messages aimed at preventing teen tobacco product use. The applicant’s research program aims to understand and address the role of digital technology in adolescent and young adult nicotine and tobacco use. Her long-term career goal is to develop digital interventions to prevent adolescent and young adult tobacco product use, as an independent researcher.

Paraplexaura longispinosa

description: Paraplexaura longispinosa (Fernando, 2011) potential new comb. (species status uncertain)
Echinogorgia longispinosa Fernando, 2011: 58–59, pl. 35, fig. 1–1f (Puducherry); Fernando et al. 2017: 123, pl. 56, fig. 1–1f (Puducherry).
Opinion: This species does occur in the region.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The accounts of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but most of the sclerites in the figures are crowded and overlap. Detailed descriptions and more images of the sclerites are needed to be more certain of the identity of the material, but the shape of the colony, the thick branches, and the presence of large thorny spindles and block-like sclerites in the coenenchyme indicate the species is better placed in Paraplexaura. The sclerites seem to be somewhat similar to, but thornier than, those of Paraplexaura heterospiculata (Broch, 1916), but that species is unbranched. Kumar et al. (2016) just lists the species.

description: The Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission (HMDC) oversees the Hackensack Meadowlands District, a heavily impacted but ecologically valuable estuary in northeastern New Jersey.  The HMDC has hundreds of papers and reports by government agencies, consultants, professors and students on environmental issues within the estuary, collected over many years.  Researchers, regulators, consultants and the general public are interested in these documents, but, formerly, there was no systematic way to look up a document.  This paper describes the creation of a database of metadata on these documents and a WWW-based, geographic interface to the database.

Opinion: This species does occur in the region.
Justification:
Literature analysis: Both publications of Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) describe the same material. There are undescribed species of this genus with similar large, thick, thorny surface sclerites (see Fabricius & Alderslade, 2001: 208) and it would be difficult to separate them from this species because it is impossible to distinguish in the supplied figures what are calycular sclerites (if any) or anthocodial sclerites (if any) from the many coenenchymal sclerites. The arrangement of the anthocodial sclerites would also be needed for an identification.This species appears to be quite similar to Echinogorgia seshayiaii Fernando, 2011, which is probably a Paraplexaura.

Publisher: name: American Water Resources Association
Year: 1988

description: The Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission (HMDC), a New Jersey state planning agency, has been conducting a summer water quality program since 1971.  Sampling sites on the tidal portion of the Hackensack River and its tributaries have been monitored for thirteen parameters.  The data generated has allowed the HMDC to assess trends in a perturbed urban estuary over time. Parametric and non-parametric statistical analysis reveal that the system maintains the capacity to buffer stress.  Comparing the results to precipitation allowed for measuring to what extent natural cycles influence water quality.

Publisher: name: American Water Resources Association
Year: 1994

description: In 1993, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission, established a network of 14 ambient water monitoring sites to characterize the current status of water quality in the Hackensack Meadowlands District.  The network is designed to analyze trends in water quality over the next 20 years.  The District, situated less than 6 miles west of New York City in northeastern New Jersey, consists of 20,000 acres of tidal marshes and upland drained by the lower segment of the Hackensack River into Newark Bay.  Along this 10 nautical-mile-long reach, industry, power plants, sewage treatment plants, combined and discreet stormwater outfalls, landfills, hazardous-waste sites, and an extensive transportation network are present.  Water quality constituents summarized include conventional field parameters, nutrients, trace metals, chlorinated pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls, chlorophyll a- and b- as phytoplankton, suspended solids, biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, fecal coliform bacteria and turbidity.  This program will insure the uninterrupted flow of information needed by decision makers to manage development within the estuary.

Opinion: This taxon does occur in Indian waters but appears to have been originally misidentified.
Justification:
Literature analysis: The descriptions of the Indian material by Fernando (2011) and Fernando et al. (2017) are identical, but without a more detailed and clearer description of the sclerites and their locations it is difficult to be certain about the generic identity of this species. The author states that the “trident” thornscales cover the surface of the coenenchyme, which would be very unusual for a species of Echinogorgia unless there was very little space between the calyces, and the description does also state that the thornscales are “circularly layered one over the other around the calyces. Further on in the description, however, the text says “the sclerites of the intercalycular spaces are distinctly different from the thornscales. They are massive spindles to irregularly shaped plump sclerites ranging in size up to 0.42 x 0.14 mm. Some of the sclerites are thickened plates, mostly dished at the surface with fine, stony prickes (sic) a few of which are distinctly longer and sharp”. We take this to mean the thornscales are mainly restricted to the calyces and the large thorny blocks, as seen in the figures, dominate the coenenchyme, and therefore this species is much better placed in Paraplexaura: and there are certainly many similarities between it and Paraplexaura manaarensis Fernando, 2011. In assigning this species to Echinogorgia, Fernando put great emphasis on the presence of thornscales with three processes arising from a complexly warted root. Such thornscales also occur in Paraplexaura as can be seen in Paraplexaura maxima Fernando, 2011 (plate 42, fig 1d) and in Fabricius & Alderslade (2001: 208).

description: The Hackensack River and its associated wetlands have been greatly impacted by man.  Construction of a dam at Oradell has greatly altered the original river hydrology, and consequently it no longer functions as a "normal" estuarine river.  It is now essentially a canal, open fully only at the end adjacent to Newark Bay.  Although the river is not fishable due to restrictions imposed by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, this estuary is a refuge and nursery area for several important commercial and recreational species, such as striped bass, Atlantic menhaden, weakfish, winter flounder, alewife, and blueback herring, and for two species listed threatened by the State of New Jersey, the Atlantic tomcod and American shad.  Contrary to the misconceptions that the Hackensack River is "dead," the data shows that the river is very much alive and supports moderately diverse fish and invertebrate communities.

The role and molecular mechanism of PIR-1 in gene regulation

description: This project aims to investigate the function and mechanism of a highly conserved RNA polyphosphatase, PIR-1 (PIR1), in regulating genes and cell proliferation in DNA-damaged cells. Cancer cells usually exhibit loss of growth control with abnormal patterns of gene expression. A better understanding of how cell proliferation is controlled at gene expression level may provide novel and more effective targets for cancer diagnostics and therapeutics. RNA phosphatases usually play important roles in regulating RNA stability. Unlike its closest paralogs, mRNA capping enzymes, PIR1 belongs to a novel RNA polyphosphatase family which removes both beta and gamma phosphates from triphosphorylated RNAs (pppRNAs). The resulting RNA only has a 5' monophosphate and may be subject to decay by 5' to 3' exonucleases. Our preliminary results indicate that PIR1 is involved in two pathways regulating RNAs in C. elegans: 1) interacting with Dicer to silence viral transcripts with a 5' triphosphate group; 2) regulating thousands of genes in sperms and embryos using double-stranded pppRNA intermediates. Although the physiological substrates of human PIR1 (hPIR1) have not been clearly defined, studies have implicated hPIR1 in RNA splicing, consistent with its nuclear localization. The expression of hPIR1 is induced in a p53-dependent manner in cells treated with DNA-damaging chemicals, and the increased hPIR1 level may contribute to p53-induced cell cycle arrest in these cells. In addition, ectopic expression of hPIR1 inhibits cell proliferation, and repression of hPIR1 causes increased levels of cell proliferation. Our preliminary analysis suggested that hPIR1 may also interact with Dicer in HEK293T cells. Since PIR1 is highly conserved, we propose that hPIR1 may also regulate pppRNAs including nascent transcripts, and regulate cell proliferation in DNA-damaged cells. To understand how hPIR1 regulates cell proliferation, we will identify the RNAs targeted by hPIR1. Since hPIR1 may regulate multiple RNAs, normal mRNA-seq may fail to distinguish between direct targets and indirect ones. Here we propose to perform cross-linking immunoprecipitation (CLIP) coupled with high-throughput sequencing to systematically identify RNAs directly bound with hPIR1. And we will also investigate how hPIR1 modifies these targets to regulate cell proliferation in DNA-damage induced p53 pathway.

description: The Rutgers University Center for Information Management, Integration and Connectivity (CIMIC) in collaboration with the Hackensack Meadowlands Development Commission (HMDC) has developed a web-based system called "Digital Meadowlands" to access detailed information about the Hackensack Meadowlands District in support of environmental management and research.  (http://cimic.rutgers.edu/digitalmeadowlands)  Digital Meadowlands provides a wealth of information to scientists.  With time it will become the repository of the collective environmental memory for the HMDC District.  The application has five major modules, each one with its own search engine and query procedures: image module with satellite images of the District; reports module with an electronic catalog of research and engineering reports that can be searched via a text-based query or by using an interactive map; monitoring data module with continually updated datasets on weather and air and water quality, and static datasets from discrete monitoring projects; interactive maps of zoning, parcel and land use; and videos of virtual fly-bys and TV news clips about the District.  The staff from HMDC likely to benefit the most are those revising development proposals, drafting environmental impact forms, and involved in environmental impact studies, in outreach and in education.

description: Breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women in California (new cases per year: approximately 18,000 and mortality per year: approximately 4,000). With such a large population of women developing breast cancer each year in California, it is important to establish a method of identifying: (a) women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) -- a localized and noninvasive pre-malignant lesion, usually discovered by mammography --who have a high risk of subsequently developing invasive breast cancer; and (b) patients who are at a high risk of developing recurrence of their primary breast cancer. Early identification of high-risk patients in these groups is essential in order to develop strategies for prevention and effective therapy.

 Although emerging methods to identify high risk groups of women are promising, they are not yet reliable. We have recently identified a biomarker termed LEA.135 which, in a preliminary study of 111 cases of women with primary breast cancer, identified over 80% of the patients (LEA.135-positive) with low risk of developing recurrence and with an increase in overall survival.

 The proposed study, in accordance with BCRP's priority to improve early detection of breast cancer, seeks to evaluate the above finding on a large number of cases as described below. The specific aims of the proposal are as follows:

 -To further evaluate, by incorporating a larger number of cases (584), the usefulness of LEA.135 as a favorable prognostic biomarker for patients with primary breast cancer.

 -A significant difference in survival between black and white women with breast cancer has been widely reported in the United States. We propose to conduct a study (100 cases) to determine whether LEA.135 expression provides a useful basis for evaluating the difference in prognosis between black and white patients with primary breast cancer.

 -A significant number of women patients with initial localized and noninvasive breast ductal carcinomas in situ (DCIS) who have been reported to have high risk of developing invasive breast cancer will be the subject of a study for the expression of LEA.135. The proposed study (200 cases) will determine whether LEA.135 expression is associated with decreased risk of developing invasive breast cancer in this group of patients. An early identification of patients with low vs. high risk will be helpful in determining an appropriate and effective treatment.

Psammogorgia flabellum

description: Psammogorgia flabellum (Pallas, 1766)
Antipathes flabellum Pallas, 1766: 211 (Indian Ocean).
Heterogorgia flabellum Breedy & Guzman 2011: 29
Opinion: This species does not occur in the region.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomas & George 1986: 106, fig. 1m, 1–4 (SE & SW coast); Thomas & Jacob 1987: 26, figs. 1I, 2C; Thomas et al. 1995: 139 (NE coast); Thomas et al. 1998: 163 (SW coast); Mary & Lazarus 2004: 37–38, fig. 14&15 (SW coast).
Literature analysis: This species was originally named Antipathes flabellum. In 1910, Nutting named a new species Heterogorgia reticulata, which Kükenthal said was a synonym of Antipathes flabellum. Following Nutting, Kükenthal placed Antipathes flabellum in the genus Heterogorgia. Heterogorgia reticulata is actually an Echinogorgia and therefore not a synonym of H. flabellum. Being a Pallas species, the details of the characters of the latter are essentially unknown because the material is missing. In their revision of Heterogorgia, Breedy & Guzman (2011) state that the species belongs in the genus Psammogorgia, which has simple, planar or bushy colonies, with thick branches and only occurs on the West coast of the Americas. All Indian records, therefore, are incorrect.
Thomas & George (1986) describe a reticulate colony of an uncertain genus with spindles in the coenenchyme and Thomas & George (1987) provide a figure of the colony described in their 1986 paper. Thomas & Jacob (1987) describe the same material as in the 1986 paper with the addition of a few more sclerite drawings, and Thomas et al. (1995) just record the species and refer to the 1986 description. Thomas et al. (1998) record two samples from the southwest coast of India. Mary & Lazarus (2004) describe another colony but include the same sclerite images as in Thomas & Jacob. Varghese et al. (2007) just lists the species and provide a colony image, while Kumar et al. (2016) lists the species.
The identity of the specimens in the Indian accounts is uncertain, but with a reticulate growth form and the surface of the coenenchyme full of spindle-shaped sclerites it is probable that the Indian material represents a species of Muricella.

description: Arantia fasciata (Walker, 1869)
http://lsid.speciesfile.org/urn:lsid: Orthoptera.speciesfile.org:TaxonName:12755
Distribution: Africa south of the Sahara.
Ecology & Biology: Arantia fasciata is often collected at light by night. In savanna habitats on Combretum zehyeri.
Habitat: Hemp (2005); Hemp (2013a). Canopy dweller.
Song: Arantia fasciata sings in the evening hours shortly after sunset. Its song of a few loud syllables is easily recognized produced from high trees (Hemp 2013a).
Remarks: In the zoological museum of Copenhagen a specimen of A. fasciata was studied differing in the spination of the hind legs. The genus Arantia is characterized by having outer spines on the hind femora while this specimen from Amani also had large spines of the inner side of the hind femora.

description: Pseudothesea flava (Nutting, 1910)
Thesea flava Nutting, 1910: 52–53, pl. 8, fig. 1, 1a (Malay Archipelago).
Opinion: There is no evidence that this species occurs in the region and its true identity is unknown.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomas & George 1986: 102–103, fig. 1g, 1–4, z (Gulf of Mannar); Thomas & Jacob 1987: 21–23, fig. 1 A, B, C (Gulf of Mannar).
Literature analysis: Thesea flava was assigned to the genus Pseudothesea by Kükenthal (1924), but the sclerites of the species have never been figured and the true nature of Nutting’s specimens remain unknown. Thomas & George (1986) retain the original name and cite Pseudothesea flava as a synonym, but the identity of their material is not recognisable. Thomas & Jacob (1987) deal with the same material as in the 1986 paper mentioned above and clearly describe a species of Echinogorgia. The genus Thesea occurs only in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific. Thomas & George (1987) and Venkataraman et al. (2004) just listed the species under the old original name.

Distribution: Tanzania, East Usambara Mountains and South Africa (Ragge 1968).
Habitat: Lowland evergreen forest in the East Usambara Mountains.
Remarks: D. habetata Karsch was described from the East Usambara Mountains and later synonymised by Kirby (1906) with D. cervina originally described from South Africa on a single female. Specimens of this species are rarely collected and further studies should be undertaken to show whether this beautiful Phaneropterinae is distributed across such a large area.

Trimuricea caledonica Grasshoff, 1999: 48–50, figs. 81–83 (New Caledonia); Grasshoff & Bargibant 2001: 183 (New Caldonia); Samimi-Namin & van Ofwegen 2016: 11–13, figs. 4c, 7–8.
Opinion: There is no evidence that this species occurs in the region.
Justification:
These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Kumar et al. 2014a: 86, pl. 40, A–D (Munak Gate); Fernando et al. 2017: 97, pl. 43, fig. A–D (Munak Gate).
Literature analysis: A major character of Trimuricea is the presence of thornscales in the calyces that have a tuberculate basal root (that may consist of 2 diverging processes or be complexly branched) from which a smooth or thorny spine arises that may be accompanied by 2 smaller spines angled to the sides. The most characteristic feature, however, is the presence of thornscale-like sclerites in the polyps, usually accompanied by some curved spindles. Trimuricea caledonica was comprehensively redescribed by Samimi-Namin & van Ofwegen (2016) and the sclerites bear no resemblance to those illustrated in the two identical accounts given by Kumar et al. (2014a) and Fernando et al. (2017). In fact, it is very difficult to assign their material to a genus. The sclerites from the calyx that are figured do not look like thornscales, appearing instead to have a base of thin radiating arms and a central boss. The left-most sclerite of the four labelled “POLYP” looks like one of the radial forms viewed from the side. These sclerites look more like they originate from the coenenchymal and are very similar to those that occur in species of Villogorgia. The polyp sclerites that are figured are not of the Trimuricea form and are perhaps not polyp sclerites at all. Kumar et al. (2015, 2018) just listed the species and provided the same colony image in their 2014 paper. Trimuricea caledonica is possibly endemic to New Caledonia.
