Neomacrocoris vuga

description: Neomacrocoris vuga Sites
Neomacrocoris vuga Sites: in Sites & Mbogho 2012, Zootaxa 3555: 34–37.
Discussion. This recently described species is known from only five localities, three in the Usambara Mountains of northeastern Tanzania and two in southern Kenya (Sites & Mbogho 2012). One female and one 5th instar were found among undetermined material in the BMNH. Although males generally are needed for specific determination, the subgenital plate of N. vuga is distinct and this female is large and ovate (length 12.00, width 7.68 mm), which is characteristic of the species. The label data are contradictory because the country is given as Ethiopia; however, all other label details refer by name and coordinates to a locality in Kenya, ca. 28 km northwest of Nairobi. Thus, the country is clearly mislabeled and should read Kenya rather than Ethiopia. This is the sixth record for the species, and it extends the known range further to the northwest in Kenya to involve another mountain range.

description: Coptus Wollaston, 1873
Coptus Wollaston, 1873: 439, 492, 578.
Type species: Coptus oculatus Wollaston, 1873: 639 [designated by Voss 1956: 141]. Gender masculine.
Diagnosis. Species of Coptus can be recognized by the following characters. Body: small, parallel-sided, moderately depressed; eyes: large, convex laterally; frons between eyes as broad as or broader than base of rostrum; post-ocular constriction almost touching eyes; temples parallel-sided; rostrum: broad, as long as wide, slightly narrower than head, parallel-sided, curved, truncate anteriorly, shorter than pronotum; antenna: inserted near base of rostrum; funicle with seven articles, second article strongly abbreviated; club abrupt; pronotum: slightly constricted at apex, not bisinuate at base; scutellum visible; elytra: not setose; legs coxae widely and subequally separated; tibiae normal; third tarsomere entire or slightly notched medially (bilobed); tarsomere five clavate (Wollaston 1873; Marshall 1937; Morimoto 1973).
Taxonomic note about related genera. The main characters distinguishing Stenotrupis Wollaston and Eremotes Wollaston from Coptus Wollaston are given following, as some species from these genera have been transferred to Coptus. The genus Stenotrupis has a slender body; rostrum longer than head; distance twice or more as long as the diameter of eye between the eye and the post ocular constriction; elytra minutely pubescent at apex; coxae equally separated (e.g. Stenotrupis marshalli Zimmermann, (http://www.padil.gov.au/maf-border/pest/main/ 140333)). The genus Eremotes Wollaston (as a synonym Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) of Rhyncolus Germar) has a short and wide rostrum; scape shorter than funicle; excessively shortened second joint of the funicle (which is nearly hidden within the enlarged basal one); a postocular constriction not touching eye; front coxa narrowly separated; mesosternum narrower than coxa (e.g. Rhyncolus (Eremotes) elongatus (Gyllenhal): http:// www.meloidae.com/en/pictures/26469/) (Wollaston 1861 & 1873; Marshall 1937; Morimoto 1973).
Distribution: West New Guinea, Moluccas, Congo, Seychelles, India, Indonesia, China.

Refining Architectures of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

description: Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have recently evinced immense success for various image recognition tasks [11, 27]. However, a question of paramount importance is somewhat unanswered in deep learning research - is the selected CNN optimal for the dataset in terms of accuracy and model size? In this paper, we intend to answer this question and introduce a novel strategy that alters the architecture of a given CNN for a specified dataset, to potentially enhance the original accuracy while possibly reducing the model size. We use two operations for architecture refinement, viz. stretching and symmetrical splitting. Stretching increases the number of hidden units (nodes) in a given CNN layer, while a symmetrical split of say K between two layers separates the input and output channels into K equal groups, and connects only the corresponding input-output channel groups. Our procedure starts with a pre-trained CNN for a given dataset, and optimally decides the stretch and split factors across the network to refine the architecture. We empirically demonstrate the necessity of the two operations. We evaluate our approach on two natural scenes attributes datasets, SUN Attributes [16] and CAMIT-NSAD [20], with architectures of GoogleNet and VGG-11, that are quite contrasting in their construction. We justify our choice of datasets, and show that they are interestingly distinct from each other, and together pose a challenge to our architectural refinement algorithm. Our results substantiate the usefulness of the proposed method.

Six species were found to dominate all of the sampling periods and sites for the year. The greatest number of individuals, biomass, and species were found at the sand sites. Deposit feeders were recorded in greater number than suspension feeders at both the sand and the mud sites.

Cluster and nodal analyses were successful in demonstrating animal-sediment relationships for the intertidal regions of the river system.

description: High-tech systems are ubiquitous and often safety and se- curity critical: reasoning about their correctness is paramount. Thus, precise modelling and formal reasoning are necessary in order to convey knowledge unambiguously and accurately. Whilst mathematical mod- elling adds great rigour, it is opaque to many stakeholders which leads to errors in data handling, delays in product release, for example. This is a major motivation for the development of diagrammatic approaches to formalisation and reasoning about models of knowledge. In this paper, we present an interactive theorem prover, called iCon, for a highly expressive diagrammatic logic that is capable of modelling OWL 2 ontologies and, thus, has practical relevance. Significantly, this work is the first to design diagrammatic inference rules using insights into what humans find accessible. Specifically, we conducted an experiment about relative cognitive benefits of primitive (small step) and derived (big step) inferences, and use the results to guide the implementation of inference rules in iCon.

description: Human AHR nucleic acid sequences were obtained from NCBI and primers were designed on Snapgene based on Nhe I and Hind III upstream and downstream digestion sites (Supplementary table 2). Total RNA from THP-1 cells was extracted using R401-01, and cDNA was synthesized using HiScript II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (+gDNA wiper). The gene of interest was amplified using Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, and plasmid pcDNA 3.0 (Presented by Sangon Biotech) (Supplementary Fig. 8A) was incubated for 1 h at 37°C in the presence of QuickCut Hind III and QuickCut™™ Nhe I according to the manufacturer's instructions. The AHR gene (Supplementary Fig. 8B) and double digestion plasmid (Supplementary Fig. 8C) were successfully identified by agarose gel electrophoresis. Then the double digestion plasmid and AHR gene were reclaimed using FastPure Gel DNA Extraction Mini Kit. The above glue recovery products were ligated at 37°C for 30 min with ClonExpress II One Step Cloning Kit. The ligation products were converted to kanamycin-resistant plates by BL21, and then AHR gene assay in bacteria (Supplementary Fig. 8B) and the bacteria were sequenced (Supplementary Fig. 8D).After the sequenced bacteria were expanded, the plasmid was extracted with the Endotoxin-Free Plasmid Extraction Kit. After the concentration was determined, transfection with Lipo8000 was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

description: Abstract

Introduction: The increasing detection of thyroid nodules through advanced imaging techniques highlights the need for non-invasive diagnostic methods. Sonoelastography, a novel ultrasound technique measuring tissue elasticity, appears promising for assessing thyroid nodules. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of sonoelastography in distinguishing benign from malignant thyroid nodules, focusing on its sensitivity, specificity, and correlation with histopathological findings. Materials and Methods: The study involved 40 individuals with identifiable thyroid nodules, who underwent high-frequency B-mode ultrasound and sonoelastography, followed by fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for cytological analysis. Results: In this investigation, a cohort of 40 participants with clinically identifiable thyroid nodules underwent a diagnostic regimen comprising high-frequency B-mode ultrasound followed by sonoelastography. Each case was further evaluated using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) for cytological analysis. The study found that the concurrent application of sonoelastography and B-mode ultrasound accurately classified thyroid nodules as benign or malignant in 87.5% of instances. Specifically, sonoelastography demonstrated a high sensitivity of 94.1%, indicating its efficacy in correctly identifying malignant nodules. Its specificity was recorded at 81%, reflecting its ability to recognize benign nodules. The positive predictive value, an indicator of the likelihood that patients with a positive screening test truly have the disease, was notably high at 98.2%. Conversely, the negative predictive value, which assesses the probability that patients with a negative screening test are disease-free, was 87%. Conclusion: The findings confirm the value of sonoelastography as a reliable and non-invasive method for evaluating thyroid nodules. Its high sensitivity and specificity demonstrate its potential to enhance diagnostic accuracy as an adjunct to B-mode ultrasound, potentially decreasing the need for invasive FNAC and thus reducing patient discomfort and healthcare costs. The successful use of sonoelastography in this study supports its integration with traditional ultrasound techniques to improve diagnostic outcomes. Future research with larger and more varied populations is essential to further validate these results and advance the adoption of sonoelastography in routine clinical practice, potentially transforming the management of thyroid nodule cases.
