description: Accurate prediction of molecular activities is crucial for efficient drug discovery, yet remains challenging due to limited and noisy datasets. We introduce Similarity-Quantized Relative Learning (SQRL), a learning framework that reformulates molecular activity prediction as relative difference learning between structurally similar pairs of compounds. SQRL uses precomputed molecular similarities to enhance training of graph neural networks and other architectures, and significantly improves accuracy and generalization in low-data regimes common in drug discovery. We demonstrate its broad applicability and real-world potential through benchmarking on public datasets as well as proprietary industry data. Our findings demonstrate that leveraging similarity-aware relative differences provides an effective paradigm for molecular activity prediction.

Occurs widely in tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas (including the Lesser Antilles), Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific; polyphagous, feeding on plants belonging to 78 families, including many crop and ornamental plants; major economic pest. Recorded from Saint Lucia by Kairo et al. (2000), CABI (2004), EPPO (2009) and Malumphy (2012, on A. muricata).
Collection data. Gros-Islet Parish: Gros Islet, huge infestation on A. muricata, causing serious damage and making fruit inedible, 19.viii.2013; Rodney Bay, abundant on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, 18.viii.2013, sparse on Ixora, 22.viii.2013. Intercepted in the UK (London), on A. muricata fruit, 12.xi.2012 and 23.ix.2013, leg. R. Waghorn, 2.vii.2013 and 4.viii.2013, leg. J. Pollock, 12.viii.2013 and 28.iv.2014, leg. D. Dennis. The majority of the A. muricata samples contained huge infestations of mealybugs, but there were very high levels of parasitism (up to 90%) of third-instar nymphs by the wasp Anagyrus kamali Moursi (Encrytidae). There were also many mealybug predators present in the samples including Karnyothrips flavipes Jones (Phlaeothripidae), Cryptolaemus sp. and other ladybird beetle larvae (Coccinellidae), Eupalopsellidae and Phytoseiidae predatory mites, and Diadiplosis sp. larvae feeding on the mealybug eggs.

Nipaecoccus nipae

description: Nipaecoccus nipae (Maskell) — coconut mealybug (Fig. 1, N)
Occurs widely in tropical and subtropical areas of the Americas (including the Lesser Antilles), Asia and the Pacific, restricted to indoor plantings in cooler temperate regions; polyphagous, feeding on plants belonging to 48 families, including many crop and ornamental plants, exhibits a preference for palms. Recorded from Saint Lucia by Walters (1926), Williams & Granara de Willink (1992), CABI (2005) and Malumphy (2012, on Annona muricata fruit). Two distinct forms exist, one with females producing white wax, and the other yellow wax; both forms were observed by the author on Saint Lucia.
Collection data. Frequently abundant causing chlorosis. Gros-Islet Parish: Rodney Bay (widespread and common), on Chrysalidocarpus lutescens and Cocos nucifera, 16–27.viii.2013, Psidium guajava, 19.viii.2013, unidentified palms, 21.viii.2013, and Asparagus, 16.viii.2013. Intercepted in the UK (London), on A. muricata, 29.vii.2013, leg. D. Dennis (mealybug eggs were attacked by midge larvae Diadiplosis multifila (Felt), det. Keith Harris), and 23.ix.2013, leg. R. Waghorn (associated with predatory mites Eupalopsellidae).

Kuqaia concentrica

description: Kuqaia concentrica Li, 1993
Fig 5A–5E
Material. NRM X12701; NRM X12702.
Description. Shell reniform in lateral view; elliptical in dorso-ventral view. Concentric ridges well-developed, 21–27 ridges on one valve, blade-shaped, or widened to 2–3.5 μm. Radial ridges weakly developed on the dorsal and lateral sides on one specimen. Collar-shaped margin poorly preserved on one specimen, c. 22 μm high. Back inconspicuous on these laterally preserved specimens. Caudal spine damaged.
Comparison. This species is distinguished from other species by its pronounced concentric ridges.
Dimensions. Length 444(451)457 μm; width 171(202)233 μm (two specimens).
Remarks. Two specimens are assigned to Kuqaia concentrica based on the ornamentation dominated by concentric ridges (Fig 5A–5E). One specimen is characterized by distinct blade-shaped concentric ridges on the shell, with weak radial ridges (Fig 5A and 5B). The other specimen is characterized by wider concentric ridges with modestly developed radial ridges in the dorsal and lateral parts (Fig 5D and 5E), resulting in a weakly developed pattern of chequered ridges similar to that in Kuqaia quadrata (Fig 5F and 5G). Nevertheless, the dominance of concentric ridges in the shell ornamentation of this specimen favours assignment to Kuqaia concentrica.
Occurrence, unit and age. 57.00– 56.50 m and 46.97– 46.07 m, Kävlinge BH-928; Katslösa Member, Rya Formation; Pliensbachian.

Kuqaia scanicus

description: Kuqaia scanicus sp. nov.
Figs 2 and 3
Derivation of name. The specific epithet scanicus (Latin) refers to the discovery of this taxon in the southernmost province of Sweden, Scania (Skåne).
Holotype. NRM X12700 (Figs 2 and 3).
Material. Only the holotype, lacking the caudal end, is available.
Type stratum and age. Katslösa Member, Rya Formation; Pliensbachian.
Diagnosis. A Kuqaia bearing long peduncles on the lateral sides of the postventral margin.
Description. Shell reniform in lateral view; elliptical in dorso-ventral view. Concentric ridges weakly defined on the posterior half, conspicuous in the central part represented by c. 10 ridges, indistinct towards the ventral, dorsal, and the anterior parts. Radial ridges, well-developed on the anterior half with c. 19 ridges, becoming less well defined in the central part, and indistinct towards the posterior. Concentric and radial ridges are never strongly raised. Collar-shaped postventral margin is poorly preserved. Two long peduncles initiate from the lateral part of the postventral margin, are thicker on the posterior side, pointed at the terminus, c. 1200 μm long, and c. 35 μm wide at the posterior side. Peduncles bear weak, parallel and transverse ridges that become indistinct towards the tip. Back inconspicuous. Caudal spine damaged.
Comparison. This species is distinguished from all other representatives in the genus based on its possession of long peduncles.
Dimensions. Length 443 μm; width 200 μm (one specimen).
Occurrence unit and age. 40.40– 39.60 m, Kävlinge BH-928; Katslösa Member, Rya Formation; Pliensbachian.
Remarks. The caudal spine of Kuqaia was initially emphasized as a primary morphological feature of this fossil group [18]. However, this slender structure is susceptible to breakage. On the single specimen stored in NRM, the central part of the postventral side of the shell is lacking due to incomplete preservation (Figs 2A and 3E). Since the other morphological characteristics of this species fall into the diagnosis of Kuqaia, we attribute the Swedish specimen to this genus, and infer that the caudal spine has been removed by physical damage.

description: Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of diseases that includes central obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, has emerged as a significant public health problem. In addition to its association with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, MetS is increasingly associated with cognitive impairment and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. The underlying mechanisms linking MetS to cognitive decline include chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction, which impair brain health and neuronal function. This article explores the complex relationship between MetS and cognitive impairment, highlights the physiological and biochemical pathways, and discusses preventive and therapeutic strategies to mitigate the impact of MetS on cognitive health. Recognizing the interrelationship between metabolic health and cognitive function is critical for developing integrated approaches to address the dual burden of physical and neurological diseases.

description: This study explores the origins of cosmic rays and their secondary messengers, focusing on the potential role of four BL Lacs W Comae, 1ES 1959+650, PKS 2005-489, and PKS 2155-304 as potential sources of astrophysical neutrinos and gamma rays. We analyzed a single-zone model to understand the interactions between high-energy protons and ambient photons within blazar jets, leading to neutrino production observables and gamma-ray emission. This modeling contextualizes the emissions within multiwavelength observations and evaluates the capabilities of the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) in detecting these emissions. Our estimations suggest that these sources could be effective emitters of CRs, highlighting the need for future multimessenger observations to further investigate and constrain this class of sources.

Figs 5E, 5F, 6, 7F and 7G
Material. NRM X12703; NRM X12704; NRM X12705; NRM X12706.
Description. Shell reniform in lateral view; elliptical in dorso-ventral view. Shell surface covered with 34–51 radial and 21 concentric ridges (based on a specimen preserved in lateral view). Ridges are flat-crested, never blade-shaped; radial ridges 5–9 μm wide, concentric ridges 7–13 μm wide. Radial and concentric ridges are equally developed, forming a regular, rectangular mesh-like ornamentation. Collar-shaped margin preserved on one specimen, 22 μm high. Back conspicuous, slightly thicker than concentric ridges. Caudal spine damaged.
Comparison: This species is distinguished from other species based on the prominence of both concentric and radial ridges forming a chequered pattern.
Dimensions: Length 413(449)467 μm; width 150(186)240 μm (four specimens).
Remarks. One specimen (NRMX12704) with an ornamentation of regular rectangular meshes composed of flat interconnecting ridges (Fig 6A–6C), shows a predominance of concentric ridges at the venter and dorsum, and radial ridges in the lateral parts, possibly representing an intermediate ornamentation between Kuqaia yangii Cui et al., 2004 and K. quadrata. However, this specimen is broken, and the concentric ridges at the venter are inconspicuous; we tentatively identify it as Kuqaia quadrata.

Fig 7A–7E
Material. NRM X12707; NRM X12708.
Description. Shell reniform in lateral view; elliptical in dorso-ventral view. Radial ridges well-developed; 31–33 in number, flat-crested or blade-shaped, 3–7 μm wide. Concentric ridges generally weak, slightly more developed at venter and/or dorsum. On one specimen, concentric ridges incompletely developed at lateral sides, rarely reaching anterior and posterior. Back distinct. Collar-shaped margin and caudal spine are damaged.
Comparison. This species is distinguished from others by the predominance of radial ridges.
Dimensions. Length 365(383)400 μm; width 160(164)167 μm (two specimens).
Remarks. One specimen with both radial and concentric ridges forms a partially reticulate ornamentation (Fig 7C–7E). However, the shell surface is unambiguously dominated by radial ridges, thus favouring assignment to Kuqaia radiata.

Optimizing Activated Carbon from Eggplant Stems for Methyl Orange Removal: Impact of Activating Agent Concentration
Creators: name: Laith A. Hameed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025
Subjects: activated carbon, adsorption, kinetics, anionic dye.

description: The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the activating agent concentration on the removal of methyl orange using activated carbons derived from eggplant stems. The activated carbons were prepared using the chemical activation process with orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4) at concentrations of 10% and 30%. The activation time and temperature were set at 3 hours and 400 °C, respectively. Various adsorption tests were conducted in a batch system by varying the time, carbon dose, pH, and the concentration of the dye solution. The activated carbons obtained through this process were labeled as CA10% and CA30%. The results of the adsorption kinetics indicate that the equilibrium time is 50 minutes and 70 minutes for CA30% and CA10%, respectively. Adsorption is therefore faster for the carbon produced with the higher concentration of the activating agent (H3PO4 30%). Furthermore, the kinetic modeling follows the pseudo-second-order model for both types of carbon. Additionally, the adsorption rate increases with the mass of activated carbon, and the optimal pH for dye removal is pH = 2. In conclusion, both types of activated carbon demonstrate good adsorption capacities for methyl orange, with more than 80% removal and a shorter equilibrium time for CA30%. These performances indicate the potential for valorizing agricultural waste, such as eggplant stems, into porous materials for dye removal from aqueous environments.
Crowdsourcing interface feature design with Bayesian optimization

Crowdsourcing

description: Designing novel interfaces is challenging. Designers typically rely on experience or subjective judgment in the absence of analytical or objective means for selecting interface parameters. We demonstrate Bayesian optimization as an efficient tool for objective interface feature refinement. Specifically, we show that crowdsourcing paired with Bayesian optimization can rapidly and effectively assist interface design across diverse deployment environments. Experiment 1 evaluates the approach on a familiar 2D interface design problem: a map search and review use case. Adding a degree of complexity, Experiment 2 extends Experiment 1 by switching the deployment environment to mobile-based virtual reality. The approach is then demonstrated as a case study for a fundamentally new and unfamiliar interaction design problem: web-based augmented reality. Finally, we show how the model generated as an outcome of the refinement process can be used for user simulation and queried to deliver various design insights.
