description: We present the early-phase spectra and the light curves of the broad-lined supernova (SN) 2016coi from $t=7$ to $67$ days after the estimated explosion date. This SN was initially reported as a broad-lined Type SN Ic (SN Ic-BL). However, we found that spectra up to $t=12$ days exhibited the He~{\sc i} $λ$5876, $λ$6678, and $λ$7065 absorption lines. We show that the smoothed and blueshifted spectra of normal SNe Ib are remarkably similar to the observed spectrum of SN 2016coi. The line velocities of SN 2016coi were similar to those of SNe Ic-BL and significantly faster than those of SNe Ib. Analyses of the line velocity and light curve suggest that the kinetic energy and the total ejecta mass of SN 2016coi are similar to those of SNe Ic-BL. Together with broad-lined SNe 2009bb and 2012ap for which the detection of He~{\sc i} were also reported, these SNe could be transitional objects between SNe Ic-BL and SNe Ib, and be classified as broad-lined Type `Ib' SNe (SNe `Ib'-BL). Our work demonstrates the diversity of the outermost layer in broad-lined SNe, which should be related to the variety of the evolutionary paths.

Reaping the benefits of the transition: Discourses of the community and renewable energy development in rural NSW
Creators: name: McEvoy, Patrick Robert

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This research investigated White Rock Wind Farm, under construction by Goldwind Australia in northern NSW. It intended to learn the significance of the project in local politics and understand the development of the project's community benefits fund. This thesis presents the results of discourse analysis of Goldwind Australia's public communications about the project, as well as reporting by local politicians and newspapers. It also presents analysis of the discursive construction of community within NSW guidelines for community consultation and the consequences for the appointment of community representatives to the White Rock Wind Farm Community Consultative Committee. This research found that major discursive elements of Goldwind Australia's representations of White Rock Wind Farm were reproduced within politician media releases and news articles, giving it a large degree of influence over public discussions of the project. Its representations of the project's benefits resonated with existing political discourses about economic development. It also found that the guidelines for community consultation define community as the people whose interests conflict with a development. Processes for appointing community representatives restrict access to people with high social capital, with consequences for the development of White Rock's community benefits fund.

description: The feasibility of dextrose monohydrate as a non-animal sourced diluent in high shear wet granulation (HSWG) tablet formulations was determined. Impacts of granulation solution amount and addition time, wet massing time, impeller speed, powder and solution binder, and dry milling speed and screen opening size on granule size, friability and density, and tablet solid fraction (SF) and tensile strength (TS) were evaluated. The stability of theophylline tablets TS, disintegration time (DT) and in vitro dissolution were also studied. Following post-granulation drying at 60 °C, dextrose monohydrate lost 9% water and converted into the anhydrate form. Higher granulation solution amounts and faster addition, faster impeller speeds, and solution binder produced larger, denser and stronger (less friable) granules. All granules were compressed into tablets with acceptable TS. Contrary to what is normally observed, denser and larger granules (at ≥21% water level) produced tablets with a higher TS. The TS of the weakest tablets increased the most after storage at both 25 °C/60% RH and 40 °C/75% RH. Tablet DT was higher for stronger granules and after storage. Tablet dissolution profiles for 21% or less water were comparable and did not change on stability. However, the dissolution profile for tablets prepared with 24% water was slower initially and continued to decrease on stability. The results indicate a granulation water amount of not more than 21% is required to achieve acceptable tablet properties. This study clearly demonstrated the utility of dextrose monohydrate as a non-animal sourced diluent in a HSWG tablet formulation.

description: An efficient adaptive algorithm for the removal of Salt and Pepper noise from gray scale and color image is presented in this paper. In this proposed method first a 3X3 window is taken and the central pixel of the window is considered as the processing pixel. If the processing pixel is found as uncorrupted, then it is left unchanged. And if the processing pixel is found corrupted one, then the window size is increased according to the conditions given in the proposed algorithm. Finally the processing pixel or the central pixel is replaced by either the mean, median or trimmed value of the elements in the current window depending upon different conditions of the algorithm. The proposed algorithm efficiently removes noise at all densities with better Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Image Enhancement Factor (IEF). The proposed algorithm is compared with different existing algorithms like MF, AMF, MDBUTMF, MDBPTGMF and AWMF.

description: Based on T.Tao's result of norm convergence of multiple ergodic averages for commut-ing transformation, we obtain there is a subsequence which converges almost everywhere. Meanwhile, the ergodic behaviour, which the time average is equal to the space average, of diagonal measures is obtained and we give different result according to the classification of transformations. Additionally, on the torus with special rotation. we can not only get the convergence in T.Tao's paper for every point in Td, but also get a beautiful result for ergodic behaviour.

description: Deep neural networks (DNNs) trained for image denoising are able to generate high-quality samples with score-based reverse diffusion algorithms. These impressive capabilities seem to imply an escape from the curse of dimensionality, but recent reports of memorization of the training set raise the question of whether these networks are learning the "true" continuous density of the data. Here, we show that two DNNs trained on non-overlapping subsets of a dataset learn nearly the same score function, and thus the same density, when the number of training images is large enough. In this regime of strong generalization, diffusion-generated images are distinct from the training set, and are of high visual quality, suggesting that the inductive biases of the DNNs are well-aligned with the data density. We analyze the learned denoising functions and show that the inductive biases give rise to a shrinkage operation in a basis adapted to the underlying image. Examination of these bases reveals oscillating harmonic structures along contours and in homogeneous regions. We demonstrate that trained denoisers are inductively biased towards these geometry-adaptive harmonic bases since they arise not only when the network is trained on photographic images, but also when it is trained on image classes supported on low-dimensional manifolds for which the harmonic basis is suboptimal. Finally, we show that when trained on regular image classes for which the optimal basis is known to be geometry-adaptive and harmonic, the denoising performance of the networks is near-optimal.

Interconnectedness of electricity spot prices: A dynamic network analysis
Creators: name: Yan, Guan
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This present study constructs dynamic Granger causality networks based on the spot prices of five regional markets in the Australian National Electricity Market (NEM). Although transmission lines between adjacent states result in physical interconnection in the geographical sense, the degree of integration of wholesale electricity prices is still equivocal. Based on a data set comprising electricity spot prices from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2017, this study employs principal component analysis and generates Granger causality networks to examine the degree of interconnectedness of the NEM in a time-varying setting. We find that the derived measures of interdependence can be related to actual market events such as price spikes; unexpected high demand for electricity; sudden increase in price volatility; rebidding of dominant generators; the temporary or permanent outage of major power stations; and upgrades and limitations in transmission capacity. The first measure is the cumulative risk fraction of the first few principal components, which conveys information on risk concentration. Another measure is the dynamic causality index generated from the estimated Granger causality network. In the analysed network, we find that stronger dependence is exhibited by regional markets that are linked by interconnectors, while the direction of the relationship can be related to inter-regional trade. Furthermore, this study examines the usefulness of the derived measures as early-warning indicators for upcoming periods of extreme prices and volatility. Our results suggest limited predictive power of the interconnectedness measures for spot price behaviour in the NEM.

WADI technique

description: This report contains the results obtained from the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the two WADI units developed in the project: MAV and UAV. To develop this analysis, it was applied the methodology described in ISO 14040:2006. The main objectives of this deliverable can be summarized in the following points: Perform an inventory analysis by means of quantifying all the energy and material flows, as well as the incoming and outgoing materials (extracted or emitted into the environment) required during the manufacturing processes of the new WADI units and the useful lifetime of the demonstrators involved in the project. Calculation of the most relevant environmental impacts indicators associated with the WADI water leaks detection techniques in order to be compared with the potential environmental improvements that could be achieved thanks to the WADI project development. As main conclusions obtained from this study, when the MAV unit is analysed, the results obtained are depicted in the figure below. The carbon footprint of this unit is about 270,000 kg CO2eq and the water footprint is 158,000 m3. The greatest contributor to most of the environmental categories is the impact associated with the fuel consumed during the aircraft flights. Besides, it is very relevant the contribution of the plane manufacturing over some indicators such as freshwater eutrophication and water depletion, and the contribution of the IR camera over the human toxicity indicator. Regarding the UAV unit, its carbon footprint is 545 kg CO2eq and the water footprint is about 7,300 m3. The relative environmental impact of the UAV components, as well as the impacts of the consumption involved during the use stage are depicted in the figure below. The drone batteries have the greatest contribution in many environmental categories such as ozone depletion, human toxicity or metal depletion. This fact is mainly caused by the periodicity with which the batteries must be replaced along the lifetime of the drone. On the other hand, the electricity consumption required to charge the batteries has the greatest impact in the climate change indicator and in the water and fossil fuel depletion indicators. In this case, it is very important to specify the electricity mix of which country is used because the results can significantly vary. Finally, if the results obtained from the LCA studies are compared with the potential impacts that could be achieved by the WADI technology through a successful business model, the environmental opportunities presented by the WADI water leaks detection techniques are huge and the burdens associate with the manufacturing and the using stages of both systems are small in comparison to the environmental benefits achieved.

description: In recent years, graphene growth optimization has been one of the key routes towards large-scale, high-quality graphene production. We have measured in-situ residual gas content during epitaxial graphene growth on silicon carbide (SiC) to find detrimental factors of epitaxial graphene growth. The growth conditions in high vacuum and purified argon are compared. The grown epitaxial graphene is studied by Raman scattering mapping and mechanical strain, charge density, number of graphene layers and graphene grain size are evaluated. Charge density and carrier mobility has been studied by Hall effect measurements in van der Pauw configuration. We have identified a major role of chemical reaction of carbon and residual water. The rate of the reaction is lowered when purified argon is used. We also show, that according to time varying gas content, it is preferable to grow graphene at higher temperatures and shorter times. Other sources of growth environment contamination are also discussed. The reaction of water and carbon is discussed to be one of the factors increasing number of defects in graphene. The importance of purified argon and its sufficient flow rate is concluded to be important for high-quality graphene growth as it reduces the rate of undesired chemical reactions and provides more stable and defined growth ambient.

description: TANYXIPHIUM Huber, 2015
(Figs 261–266)
 Tanyxiphium Huber, 2015: 57. Type species: Tanyxiphium seychellense Huber, 2015, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. Tanyxiphium is distinguished from the other genera of Gonatocerini by the following combination: mandible small, shorter than maxilla, with teeth minute (Fig. 261); pronotum entire but due to different colour of median area apparently with widely separated lateral lobes (Fig. 264); dorsellum rhomboidal (Fig. 264) ovipositor extremely long, extending well beyond gaster (Fig. 266). Male head wider and relatively narrower than in female, apparently separated by a distinct “neck” from pronotum; mandibles large, crossing when closed, each with 3 normal teeth; pronotal lobes widely separated.
 Discussion. Tanyxiphium belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated formally as Gonatocerini in Huber (2015). In the Afrotropical region the group also includes Cosmocomopsis, Gonatocerus, Heptagonatocerus, Lymaenon, Octomicromeris and Zeyanus. Tanyxiphium is the only genus of Gonatocerini that shows secondary sexual differences in structure of the head and mouthparts. Only Omyomymar, in a different genus group, has a similar, sexually dimorphic head. Tanyxiphium is most similar to Gonatocerus but differs by the mandibles being sexually dimorphic (not in Gonatocerus), having 4 setae between the lateral ocelli (2 in Gonatocerus), and the pronotum entire, though appearing divided, with widely separated lateral lobes (medially divided, with lateral lobes abutting at least ventrally in Gonatocerus).
 Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.

description: Opinion formation in the population has attracted extensive research interest. Various models have been introduced and studied, including the ones with individuals' free will allowing them to change their opinions. Such models, however, have not taken into account the fact that individuals with different opinions may have different levels of loyalty, and consequently, different probabilities of changing their opinions. In this work, we study on how the non-uniform distribution of the opinion changing probability may affect the final state of opinion distribution. By simulating a few different cases with different symmetric and asymmetric non-uniform patterns of opinion changing probabilities, we demonstrate the significant effects that the different loyalty levels of different opinions have on the final state of the opinion distribution.

Formation and functions of the paucimannosidic-rich N-glycosylation of human myeloperoxidase

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is a key neutrophil glycoprotein critically involved in neutrophil-mediated innate immunity. Recently, it was discovered that MPO and other important neutrophil glycoproteins are decorated with paucimannosidic glycans (Man1-3GlcNAc2Fuc0-1), an under-explored N-glycan class in human glycobiology. Our knowledge of the formation and functions of these peculiar and heavily truncated glycoproteins expressed by human neutrophils remains incomplete. Firstly, I employed enzyme activity assays and mass spectrometry-based glycomics on a collection of CRISPR-Cas9-edited neutrophil-like (HL-60) mutants displaying impaired HEXA and HEXB genes in order to provide in vitro-based evidence for a N-acetyl-β-hexosaminidase (Hex)-driven production of paucimannosidic proteins in human neutrophils. Secondly, solvent accessibility measurements, three-dimensional structural assessments, chlorination activity assays, and glycopeptide analysis of granule-separated and in vitro-generated MPO glycoforms were used to characterise the formation and functions of the N-glycans carried by MPO. These studies provided mechanistic insight into the site- and granule-specific glycosylation of monomeric and dimeric MPO, and, importantly, demonstrated that MPO exhibits glycoform-dependent chlorination activities and ceruloplasmin-mediated inhibition characteristics. The peculiar N-glycans decorating Asn355 andAsn391 were found to be critical in defining the MPO activity and inhibition potential. In conclusion, this thesis has generated novel data that advance our understanding of the fascinating complex neutrophil glycobiology -- abstract.

description: Opinion formation has been gaining increasing research interests recently, and various models have been proposed. These models, however, have their limitations, among which noticeably include (i) it is generally assumed that adjacent nodes holding similar opinions will further reduce their difference in between, while adjacent nodes holding significantly different opinions would either do nothing, or cut the link in between them; (ii) opinion mutation, which describes "opinion changes not due to neighborhood influences" in real life, is typically random. While such models enjoy their simplicity and nevertheless help reveal lots of useful insights, they lack the capability of describing many complex behaviors which we may easily observe in real life. In this paper, we propose a new bit-string modeling approach. Preliminary study on the new model demonstrates its great potentials in revealing complex behaviors of social opinion evolution and formation.

description: Twin growth in hexagonal close-packed zirconium is investigated at the atomic scale by modeling the various disconnections that can exist on twin boundaries. Thanks to a coupling with elasticity theory, core energies are extracted from atomistic simulations and the formation energy of isolated disconnection dipoles is defined. For twin systems where several disconnections can exist, because of this core contribution, the most stable disconnection is not always the one with the smallest Burgers vector. Crystallographic parameters of the disconnection with the lowest formation energy correlate well with twin modes observed experimentally. On the other hand, disconnection migration, characterized here by computing their migration energy and Peierls stress, does not appear critical for twin mode selection.

description: We generate coherent ultraviolet radiation at 313 nm as the third harmonic of an external-cavity diode laser. We use this radiation for laser cooling of trapped beryllium atomic ions and sympathetic cooling of co-trapped beryllium-hydride molecular ions. An LBO crystal in an enhancement cavity generates the second harmonic, and a BBO crystal in a doubly resonant enhancement cavity mixes this second harmonic with the fundamental to produce the third harmonic. Each enhancement cavity is preceded by a tapered amplifier to increase the fundamental light. The 36-mW output power of this all-semiconductor-gain system will enable quantum control of the beryllium ions' motion.

description: Suffix trees have emerged to be very fast for pattern searching yielding O (m) time, where m is the pattern size. Unfortunately their high memory requirements make it impractical to work with huge amounts of data. We present a memory efficient algorithm of a generalized suffix tree which reduces the space size by a factor of 10 when the size of the pattern is known beforehand. Experiments on the chromosomes and Pizza&Chili corpus show significant advantages of our algorithm over standard linear time suffix tree construction in terms of memory usage for pattern searching.

Subjects: classificationCode: 460999
subject: Information systems not elsewhere classified

description:  This thesis describes an intelligent software system that has been developed within the joint CQU-Mackay Taxi Holdings research and development program. It is based on Korotkikh structural complexity approach [12]-[15] and is capable of solving a new type of scheduling problems arising in innovative transport services and technologies introduced by Maxwell McBride [32]. 
This type of problems is formulated by Victor Korotkikh and is called Mackay Transit Problem (MTP). MTP may be described as follows: "Find a minimum set of share -a -ride routes assigned to vehicles of different seating capacity that would serve all requested travels from any locations to any locations within a time limit and distance cost". 
The intelligent software system realizes Korotkikh structural complexity approach, which models complex systems in terms of hierarchical formations of integer relations [12]. In particular, the system operates according to the approach, which suggests that the optimal functioning of a complex system can be efficiently obtained by the control of the structural complexity of the system and that the control admits realization in terms of perception -based information [12]-[16]. 
The intelligent software system has been successfully tested to satisfy management requirements at Mackay Taxi Holdings. The results provide a model for solving other combinatorial optimization problems and recommend developing intelligent software systems by using the structural complexity approach.
Speech referenced dynamic compression limiting: improving loudness comfort and acoustic safety

description: This thesis presents the research, development and evaluation associated with a novel method of improving listening comfort and acoustic safety for people listening primarily to speech produced by electronic devices such as headsets, telephones, headphones, hearing aids, cochlear implants, level-dependent hearing protectors and public address systems. The method involves a novel technique of amplitude limiting audio signals that convey speech. Time-varying, frequency-specific levels of speech generate a set of time-varying speech reference levels. The method limits the level of the audio to these speech reference levels and hence is called speech referenced limiting (SRL). In principle, SRL provides the greatest limiting of noise for the least limiting of speech, making it arguably the optimal method for limiting noise in speech systems. Two schemes based on the method were developed, the SRL MKI and the SRL MKII schemes. The latter scheme was far superior, with the ability to estimate the speech loudness and power from frequency regions where speech was dominant, while ignoring frequency regions where it was not. It contained a novel method of determining the amount of additional control needed to correct for the loudness summation of noises with a bandwidth exceeding that of speech, as well as providing fast speech referenced control over the power of abrupt sounds while introducing only a very short delay.Subjective evaluation of the SRL MKI and SRL MKII schemes conducted in the laboratory confirmed large reductions in noise loudness and preservation of speech quality. It was hypothesised that the SRL MKII scheme would provide the greatest reduction in the excess loudness of an audio signal compared with the loudness of the preceding speech conveyed by the audio signal for the least reduction in the speech loudness and quality. Using stimuli typical of those experienced in the three main intended applications (hearing aids, level-dependent hearing protectors and telephone headsets), this hypothesis held true and noise control was shown to be far superior to a conventional fixed-reference limiter while speech loudness and quality were maintained.
Understanding registered nurses' practice utilising a (modified) early warning scoring system in Australia: A grounded theory study
Creators: name: Reid, Andrea
Publisher: name: CQUniversity
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 320101
subject: Cardiology (incl. cardiovascular diseases)

description:  Background: The Medical Emergency Team (MET) expanded the role of the traditional cardiac arrest team with the intent to encourage rapid assessment of and response to deterioration of the patient before a cardiopulmonary arrest occurred on the hospital ward. The (Modified) Early Warning Scoring (MEWS/EWS) system was introduced to supplement the MET as a secondary means of supporting the ward nurse to be able to undertake an early identification of the deteriorating patient. Nurses play a vital role in accurately completing this tool. Previous studies have neither explained, nor explored nurses' understanding of using early warning scoring systems nor the importance and relevance of doing so. 
Aim: This dissertation reports on a study aimed at discovering Registered Nurses' understandings of using (Modified) Early Warning Scoring (MEWS/EWS) systems in Australian hospitals. 
Research Design A Grounded Theory approach was used to explore Registered Nurses' understanding of the MEWS/EWS system. The constant comparative method of data analysis was untaken to develop a substantive theory to explain this process. A sample of 14 Registered Nurses from Australian hospitals provided the data from which a substantive theory emerged. 
Findings The study identified the central category of shared understanding. Shared understanding was central to Registered Nurses using a MEWS/EWS system designed to "track" signs of deterioration and "trigger" a rapid response. This shared understanding requires a common agreement between health professions and healthcare facilities on the benefit of the system. When the shared understanding was absent, Registered Nurses were circumnavigating the system to achieve a desired response, which was to essentially achieve a positive outcome for the patient. They circumnavigated the process by calling the medical emergency team (MET) to ultimately keep the patient safe and to ensure the patient was seen. 
Conclusion In unveiling the substantive theory to prevent clinical deterioration and optimise patient outcomes the multidisciplinary team require a shared understanding of the MEWS/EWS system it became apparent that when the central issue of a shared understanding was diminished or missing, efficient use of the Track and Trigger systems (TTS) could be compromised. The study contributes to the body of knowledge about MEWS/EWS systems but in an area not previously addressed, furthering insight into the factors that affect nurses when utilising the MEWS/EWS systems. This research has the potential to shape research on MEWS/EWS systems use in the future.
Gas kinematics in massive star-forming regions from the Perseus spiral arm

description: We present results of a survey of 14 star-forming regions from the Perseus spiral arm in CS(2-1) and 13CO(1-0) lines with the Onsala Space Observatory 20 m telescope. Maps of 10 sources in both lines were obtained. For the remaining sources a map in just one line or a single-point spectrum were obtained. On the basis of newly obtained and published observational data we consider the relation between velocities of the "quasi-thermal" CS(2-1) line and 6.7 GHz methanol maser line in 24 high-mass star-forming regions in the Perseus arm. We show that, surprisingly, velocity ranges of 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission are predominantly red-shifted with respect to corresponding CS(2-1) line velocity ranges in the Perseus arm. We suggest that the predominance of the "red-shifted masers" in the Perseus arm could be related to the alignment of gas flows caused by the large-scale motions in the Galaxy. Large-scale galactic shock related to the spiral structure is supposed to affect the local kinematics of the star-forming regions. Part of the Perseus arm, between galactic longitudes from 85deg to 124deg, does not contain blue-shifted masers at all. Radial velocities of the sources are the greatest in this particular part of the arm, so the velocity difference is clearly pronounced. 13CO(1-0) and CS(2-1) velocity maps of G183.35-0.58 show gas velocity difference between the center and the periphery of the molecular clump up to 1.2 km/s. Similar situation is likely to occur in G85.40-0.00. This can correspond to the case when the large-scale shock wave entrains the outer parts of a molecular clump in motion while the dense central clump is less affected by the shock.

description: In covering elections, journalists often use conflict frames which depict events and issues as adversarial, often highlighting confrontations between opposing parties. Although conflict frames result in more citizen engagement, they may distract from substantive policy discussion. In this work, we analyze the use of conflict frames in online English-language news articles by seven major news outlets in the 2014 and 2019 Indian general elections. We find that the use of conflict frames is not linked to the news outlets' ideological biases but is associated with TV-based (rather than print-based) media. Further, the majority of news outlets do not exhibit ideological biases in portraying parties as aggressors or targets in articles with conflict frames. Finally, comparing news articles reporting on political speeches to their original speech transcripts, we find that, on average, news outlets tend to consistently report on attacks on the opposition party in the speeches but under-report on more substantive electoral issues covered in the speeches such as farmers' issues and infrastructure.

description: A new inequality for a nonlinear surface layer integral is proved for minimizers of causal variational principles. This inequality is applied to obtain a new proof of the positive mass theorem with volume constraint. Next, a positive mass theorem without volume constraint is stated and proved by introducing and using the concept of asymptotic alignment. Moreover, a positive quasilocal mass and a synthetic definition of scalar curvature are introduced in the setting of causal variational principles. Our notions and results are illustrated by the explicit examples of causal fermion systems constructed in ultrastatic spacetimes and the Schwarzschild spacetime. In these examples, the correspondence to the ADM mass and similarities to the Brown-York mass are worked out.

(Figs 267– 271)
 Zeyanus Huber, 2015: 62. Type species: Gonatocerus asulcifrons Zeya, 1995, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. Zeyanus is distinguished from the other genera of Gonatocerini by the following combination: head thin, at least 2.5× as wide as long; face without subantennal sulci (Fig. 267); occiput divided by transverse, oblique sulcus extending above foramen magnum from eye to eye; dorsellum triangular; propodeum with straight, submedian carinae more or less converging anterodorsally (Fig. 270); ovipositor distinctly exserted and usually upturned, with numerous setae along the exserted part of each sheath (Fig. 271).
 Discussion. Zeyanus belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated formally as Gonatocerini by Huber (2015). In the Afrotropical region the group also includes Cosmocomopsis, Gonatocerus, Heptagonatocerus, Lymaenon, Octomicromeris and Tanyxiphium. Zeyanus females are unique in the Gonatocerini in having several setae extending along the exserted part of each ovipositor sheath. The only other described genus in Mymaridae with this feature is Australomymar.
 Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.
 Distribution. No named species in the Afrotropical region. Specimens examined are from Guinea, Kenya, Somalia, South Africa, and Uganda (CNC, SAMC, SANC, UCRC).
