Bagre filamentosus

description: Bagre filamentosus (Swainson 1839)
Extant specimens: MCUC ZOO.0000017 (Fig. 16).
Classification on the specimen: “P. Abd. Silurus bagre ”.
Common names on the specimen (Portuguese/Tupi): None.
Comments: This species was undescribed at the time Veloso prepared it. The original classification on the herbarium sheet refers to Silurus bagre Linnaeus 1766 (= Bagre bagre). In the Ajuda inventory (Ferreira 1794) there are 34 herborized specimens of Silurus herborized mentioned, however, no specimen is mentioned in the transference list to the University of Coimbra. While there is no explicit mention of Silurus bagre in Veloso’s Ichthyologia Fluminensis, it seems to be included in the description of Silurus catus [= Ameiurus catus (Linnaeus 1758)], a North American ictalurid. This is primarily due to the mention in Veloso’s description that it occurs in both freshwater and marine environments. Not only the ariid Bagre filamentosus is morphologically distinct from Ameiurus catus, Ariidae is the only marine catfish family to occur in Brazil. Bagre filamentosus was recently considered a valid species and removed from the synonym of Bagre marinus (Mitchill, 1815) which is now restricted to the populations of the northwestern Atlantic (Marceniuk et al. 2022). This species occurs in the Western Atlantic from Nicaragua to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) (Marceniuk et al. 2022).

One-pot hydrothermally synthesized mesostructured silicas for effective controlled drug-release applications
Creators: name: Ganti, Anjani
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have captured the interest of researchers worldwide due to their unique properties (e.g., high surface area, uniform pores with tunable pore sizes) and application in various fields such as catalysis, drug delivery systems (DDS), etc. In particular, they offer numerous advantages over traditional nano-based formulations in the development of DDS. However, there are few key challenges involved with developing efficient DDS (such as achieving a high drug loading capacity and cost-effective manufacturing of the DDS). Drug-loaded mesostructured silica nanoparticles are typically synthesized in a two-step fashion – the first step involving synthesis of MSNs and the second step entailing the loading of drug into MSNs via physical adsorption of highly concentrated drug solutions onto the mesoporous framework. The current project aims to synthesize a novel DDS for controlled release antimicrobial drug delivery applications that employs the active drug as template in a facile single-step hydrothermal synthesis process, thereby addressing the above mentioned key challenges.    Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) have been shown to exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. In this work, mesostructured silica nanoparticles were synthesized by employing three different QACs - didecyldimethylammonium chloride (DDAC), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and benzalkonium chloride (BAC) – as templates. Initial surface area measurements by physical adsorption of N2 gas on the three synthesized materials indicated the BAC-templated material to be having a high surface area (ca. 1,500 m2/g). Further characterization tests were carried out on this selected material in order to get a better understanding of its properties and also to investigate its potential usage as a DDS for antimicrobial applications. Drug release studies were carried out at physiologically relevant pH levels (5-8) to demonstrate the pH-responsive controlled release of BAC, and the results have been discussed. Microbiological assays demonstrate a significant time-dependent reduction in Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella enterica viability.

Extant specimens: MCUC ZOO.0000012 (Fig. 17a), MCUC ZOO.0000041 (Fig. 17b), and MCUC ZOO.0000047 (Fig. 17c).
Classification on the specimen: “P. Abd. Silurus ” (see comments).
Common names on the specimen (Portuguese/Tupi): None.
Comments: This species was undescribed at the time Veloso prepared it. Among the examined specimens, only one (MCUC ZOO.0000047) lacks a classification on the herbarium sheet. The other two specimens bear classifications at the genus level, Silurus, which, during that period, encompassed most members of the order Siluriformes. One specimen (MCUC ZOO.0000041) displays the specific name “bagre ” inscribed in pencil, likely representing a subsequent addition. Silurus bagre (= Bagre bagre) is a marine catfish and morphologically distinct from Steindachneridion parahybae. Within the Ajuda’s inventory (Ferreira 1794), a total of 34 herborized specimens are listed under the genus Silurus, however, but we cannot attribute confidently this species to any name in the transference list to the University of Coimbra or the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. Furthermore, no definitive correlation between these specimens and any of the species of the genus Silurus in the Ichthyologia Fluminensis can be established. Steindachneridion parahybae is endemic from the rio Paraíba do Sul basin in southeastern Brazil (Garavello 2005). Once an important commercial fish in the Paraíba do Sul basin river, it is considered today a threatened species (IUCN category Endangered; ICMBIO 2018).

Protective effects of antioxidant pretreatment in VPA-treated Nrf2 knockout mice

description: Genetic and environmental factors associated with oxidative stress have been implicated in the etiology of autism. The present study attempted to mimic the factors in an animal model of autism.  Specifically, mice with a deletion of the Nrf2 gene, a master regulator for downstream enzymes associated with management of toxicant-generated reactive oxygen species, were administered valproic acid (VPA), a toxicant known to engender oxidative stress and one that has been associated with autism in humans.   Prior studies revealed that VPA treatment induces functional and pathological changes in mice akin to autism.  Further, previous work has established that pretreatment with antioxidants has the ability to protect mice from these VPA-induced functional deficits. The present study extended these observations to mice with alterations in NRF2 expression. On postnatal day 14 knockout (KO) and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to VPA (400 mg/kg) or saline and pretreated with either Trolox, a water-soluble form of vitamin E, or saline 1 hour prior to VPA. The behavioral tasks employed assessed maturation of normal social, cognitive, and motor skills and classified toxicant-induced deficits along a developmental timeline. Treatment with VPA resulted in deficits in mid-air righting and Morris water maze learning. Further, Trolox pretreatment prior to VPA provided partial protection from deficits associated with VPA treatment and this protective effect was more apparent in the Nrf2 KO mice.  The results of the present study, at least in part, indicate the importance of Nrf2 during development as it might relate to autism and, more generally, the effects of oxidative stress during early development as well as the potential protective effects of antioxidant pretreatment.

Core structure and influence in social networks
Creators: name: Govindan, Priya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Structure of social connections and interpersonal dynamics based on user behavior shapes the culture, politics and economics of the world. Building consumer products and services, require a good understanding of the human social behavior, computational tools to analyze it and efficient techniques to model and predict it.    In this dissertation we study the graph structure of interactions at the community level and the social influence between users at an individual level in a social network. Our contributions are in the form of efficient algorithms, theoretical and experimental analysis and visualizations.    At the community level, k-core decomposition has been used in many applications to find dense regions in a graph. We present a space efficient approximate algorithm to compute k-core decomposition using O(n log d) space approximate algorithm to estimate k-cores in graphs, where n is the number of nodes, and d is the maximum degree. Our experimental study shows space savings up to 60X with average relative error less than 2.3% as compared to the in-memory method. Analogous to k-core, k-peak decomposition finds centers of dense regions in a graph. We present analysis of the k-peak decomposition and show that it outperforms k-core decomposition in applications such as community detection. In addition to that, we present a graph visualization technique, that uses both k-core and k-peak decomposition to give a global mapping of the graph.    At the individual level, we study the influence of users on one another based on the posts they share and the feedback received. H-index, used as a measure of impact in academic settings, can also be used as a measure of influence in online social interactions. The high volume and rate of online social interactions make in-memory computations challenging. We present algorithms to compute h-index in various streaming settings and get a (1 ± ε) estimate of the h-index with sublinear, ie, polylog or even O(1) space.  Thus, we present efficient algorithms, analysis and visualizations in an effort to study the group level structure of interactions and individual level influence, among users in social networks.

description: Parametric study of operating conditions of low-pressure premixed flame (ethylene/hydrogen/oxygen) synthesis using titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TTIP) precursor is investigated, specifically examining as-synthesized nanopowder phase and properties. The Sandia SPIN code is used to simulate the synthesis flow field to guide and compare with experiments. Strategic dilution of inert gases is used to adjust the characteristic flame temperature. As-produced samples are thermally stable without any sign of phase change, as characterized using TGA and DSC, up to 500⁰C. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates Ti4+ valence and presence of carbon (13 – 30 atomic %), with absence of Ti3+, Ti-C, and nitrogen. SEM and TEM confirm mixed micro- and nano-meter features. XRD and SAED divulge srilankite, rutile, and anatase phases produce under different experimental conditions.    Temperatures ranging from 1560K to 2650K, ambient pressures from 20 to 40 torr, and burner flow velocities from 150 to 300 cm/s are investigated, producing nanoparticles ranging from 3-10nm ± 3nm with mixed srilankite and rutile titania phases. Oxygen concentration effects are also studied from equivalence ratios of 1.08 to 0.37. Fuel-lean conditions produce anatase-rutile mixed nanopowders, while fuel-rich conditions yielded srilankite-rutile mixed nanopowders. By modifying the composition of the precursor (e.g. by adding ethylene), the phase of the product can be changed, likely because of carbon-doping stabilizing a specific phase.

description: Holocentrus adscensionis (Osbeck 1765)
Extant specimens: MCUC ZOO.0000026 (Fig. 19).
Classification on the specimen: “P. Th. Perca fimbriata ”.
Common names on the specimen (Portuguese/Tupi): “Jagurisa”/ “Jaguaraca” (see comments).
Comments: The original classification on the herbarium sheet, Perca fimbriata, is not available and could indicate that Veloso intended to name this species. However, in the Ichthyologia Fluminensis manuscript, this species has the name of Perca rubra. This name could refer to Sciaena rubra Forsskål 1775 (= Sargocentron rubrum), a holocentrid species that occurs in the Pacific and invaded the Mediterranean and is superficially similar to Holocentrus adscensionis. If that is the case, there are two possibilities for the name discrepancy: Veloso recognized that the species was already named, after preparing the herborized sheet; or he recognized it after writing the manuscript it as new and put the proposed name on the herbarium sheet. The solution to this problem depends on the precise dates of when the herbarium sheets and the manuscript were prepared, which we don’t know. There are 79 specimens of herborized Perca mentioned in the Ajuda’s inventory (Ferreira 1794), but no name that could be attributed to this species is found on the transference list to the University of Coimbra. One specimen of P. fimbriata is mentioned in the transference to the Lisbon Academy of Sciences, but this specimen is lost. The common names presented on the herbarium sheet are derived from the ancient Tupi name “îagûarasá” (Navarro 2013). This species is still known as jaguriçá or jaguareçá in Brazil. This species is distributed in the Western Atlantic from Virginia (USA) to São Paulo (Brazil), and in the Eastern Atlantic from Gaboon to Angola, including Canary Islands, St. Helena and Ascension Islands.

Extant specimens: MCUC ZOO.0000039 (Fig. 20).
Classification on the specimen: “P. Abd. Mugil cephalus ”.
Common names on the specimen (Portuguese/Tupi): “Tainha”/ “Curemá ”.
Comments: This species was undescribed at the time Veloso prepared it. The herborized specimens of the genus Mugil are here tentatively identified, as the taxonomy of the southwestern Atlantic species of the genus is complex. The specimen was originally identified as Mugil cephalus Linnaeus 1758, and this same name is used in a description in Veloso’s Ichthyologia Fluminensis. Twenty herborized specimens are listed in the Ajuda’s inventory (Ferreira 1794), and two specimens of Mugil cephalus were transferred to the University of Coimbra, one of which can be this specimen. No specimen of Mugil appears in the transference list to the Lisbon Academy of Sciences. Tainha and Parati (see below) are common names still used to refer to Mugil species. Mugil curema occurs in Western Atlantic from Nova Scotia (Canada) to Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).

Diffuse boundary layer effects on the properties of metal in metal matrix composites manufactured with the field assisted sintering technique
Creators: name: Hooke, Ryan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: The focus of this thesis is the effect of diffuse boundary layers on overall material failure in a tungsten heavy alloy (WHA) and D2 tool steel composite.  D2 tool steel powder was sintered and joined to macroscopic WHA material using field assisted sintering, where high DC fields are introduced during the consolidation process.  Diffuse boundary layers were formed during the field assisted sintering of the metal in metal matrix.  To investigate the failure mechanisms, bulk and localized material properties of the metal in metal matrix composites were determined, including impact energy and hardness and findings suggest the diffusion zone is not uniformly thick.  The diffusion zone is approximately 40-50 µm thick.  Mechanical properties are generally bilaterally affected 30-40 µm deep into the WHA compared to wrought, but can also be affected up to 10 µm into the D2 steel, while the impact toughness of the composite is close to that of wrought D2 tool steel.      Material specimens were processed using equipment located at US Army RDECOM ARDEC.   The resulting microstructures were examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy.  Mechanical properties and failure properties were measured using equipment located at Rutgers University and US Army RDECOM ARDEC.  The mechanical properties were evaluated at room temperature using custom impact testing and nanoindentation.  Failure modes were examined with respect to metal boundary separation, crack initiation, and propagation due to strain, at, in, or near the diffusion affected zone and onset of fracture was found to occur at the interface as well as in the bulk WHA.    These methods and data were used in the determination of constitutive model parameters.  A validation of model parameters was completed with an explicit finite element model of the composite configurations.  Initial assessments of damage were modeled using Johnson-Cook material and damage models.  The models were refined and results represent fracture location, deformation, and failure modes.

The moral justification of cronyism
Creators: name: Jones, Steven
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: The present study examined the differences between Blacks and Whites’ perception of cronyism on the part of others. I also attempted to determine whether Whites and Blacks alike viewed cronyism as a means by which racial disparities are perpetuated in society. In that event, I expected participants to judge cronyism on the part of others as more normative when beneficiaries were White, as opposed to Black, regardless of race (Hypothesis 1). In fact, only Black participants viewed pro-White cronyism as more normal than pro-Black cronyism; White participants reported no differences. Further, I expected moral justification to reflect group-serving biases, such that participants would morally justify cronyism more when it benefits their ingroup than when it benefits outgroup members (Hypothesis 2). In fact, Blacks and Whites alike judged cronyism as more morally justified when Blacks benefited, as opposed to when Whites benefited. This suggests that both groups acknowledged White’s historical cronyism advantage by judging its continuation as more immoral. Finally, I expected that regardless of race, Black cronies would be selected over White cronies, due to Whites' motives to avoid bigotry and Blacks' motives to advance racial equality. This hypothesis was fully supported. Thus, Black participants supported each hypothesis, whereas Whites only supported my third hypothesis.  Implications of the findings for the importance of investigating cronyism are discussed.

New approaches to the synthesis of heterocyclic molecules
Creators: name: Jarvis, Claire Lucy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: Whether found in nature or made in the lab, small fused-ring heterocyclic molecules have found many medicinal applications. Making these molecules by building up structural complexity in a cheap and efficient manner is a driving force in organic synthesis, particularly when trying to gain access to a single enantiomer of the product. A number of synthetic approaches make use of stoichiometric and costly reagents, and involve multiple changes in the oxidation state of the product. Many of the enantioselective approaches rely on inefficient chiral auxiliaries or recrystallization techniques.    This dissertation presents a new enantioselective approach to the synthesis of important lactam products, one that makes use of anion-binding by a thiourea organocatalyst to stabilize the ion pair intermediates. Enantioenriched gamma- and delta-lactams have been prepared by this approach. A method by which to synthesize useful N,S-acetals directly by combining their thiol and amine precursors, and which requires just a catalytic amount of organic acid, is also disclosed. The reaction mechanisms of these novel transformations are also explored.
