Conus argillicola — Eichwald 1852: plates captions, pl. 9, figs 2a–b. Con. argillicola m.— Eichwald 1853: 206.
Type material. Syntypes described by Eichwald (1830) from Salisze about 50 km NE of Ternopil (Ukraine) (see map in Dubois de Montpéreux 1831), syntype illustrated in Eichwald (1852, pl. 9, fig. 2). The specimens are most probably stored in the Zoological Museum of St. Petersburg (Russia) but could not be detected; middle Miocene, Badenian (Langhian).
Discussion. Eichwald (1830, 1852, 1853) described and figured a medium-sized species (SL: c. 38 mm, MD: c. 18 mm) with a conical spire of weakly convex whorls with a deep suture and prominent spiral cords. Its last whorl develops a rounded shoulder and an elongate, weakly ventricose last whorl with a long and reflected siphonal canal. In the description Eichwald (1853) mentioned nodulose tubercles on the early spire whorls, which are not visible on the illustration.
Although Hall (1966) synonymized this species with Conus vindobonensis Hoernes & Auinger, 1879, the two taxa are not very similar. Especially the elongate last whorl and the long siphonal canal exclude conspecificity with Conus s.l. vindobonensis. Moreover, the spiral cords on the spire whorls of C. s.l. vindobonensis are always much weaker. Bałuk (1997) treated Conus argillicola as a subjective junior synonym of Conus pyrula Brocchi, 1814. The Pliocene Lautoconus pyrula, however, lacks spiral cords, is broader, and has rounded shoulders and very prominent and broad spiral cords on the base. The illustration of Eichwald (1852) does not correspond unambiguously to any other Paratethyan and Mediterranean species and the status of Conus argillicola remains unclear without observation of type specimens or new material.
Distribution in Paratethys. Badenian (middle Miocene): Carpathian Foredeep: Salisze at Tarnów (Ukraine), Korytnica (Poland) (Eichwald 1830).

Bagous transversus

description: 19. Bagous transversus group
Diagnosis. Inner surface of dorsal process covered with a dense area of denticles (char. 100.1). Lateral margin of penis body at base of dorsal process with subapical lateral incision (char. 102.1), with areas laterad and distad of orifice denticulate (char. 66.1). Penis body widest in front of dorsal process (char. 97.1) and markedly constricted immediately proximad of this (char. 107.1); dorsal process semicircular laterally with anterior concavity, very slightly asymmetrical distad of orifice (char. 96.1).
Remarks. This largely widespread group, which includes species from all regions except the Australian and Afrotropical regions, is separated from other species only by male genital characters (three synapomorphies). In the mtCOI analysis B. limosus formed a strongly supported clade (96% pp) together with B. frit, B. longitarsis and B. collignensis. Bagous limosus differs from the other species of the group by the elytra with strial punctures large, one-third to more than one-half of intervals width, a character state shared with other unrelated species.
Species included. NAR: ¹ Bagous cavifrons LeConte, 1876, ¹ B. maculatus Blatchley, 1916, ¹ B. texanus Tanner, 1943, *¹ B. transversus LeConte, 1876; ORR: ¹ B. loisae O'Brien, 1995, ¹ B. similis O'Brien, 1995, ¹ B. youngi O'Brien, 1995; PAL: §*² B. limosus (Gyllenhal, 1827).

description: Roblox is widely recognized as one of the most popular metaverse games, boasting millions of users across the globe. The focus of this paper is on the impact of Roblox on higher edu-cation, exploring how it can be utilized as a valuable educational tool and the benefits and opportunities that can be created by integrating it into university courses. Additionally, this study investigates the challenges faced by students and educators when attempting to inte-grate Roblox into curricula. Previous research has primarily focused on Roblox’s impact on elementary schools, leaving unexplored its potential as a metaverse learning platform for higher education. To address this gap, a systematic literature review was conducted to extract themes from the selected literature, identify gaps, and draw conclusions. The study reveals that Roblox can be an effective tool for higher education and has the potential to gamify any university course. However, there is little awareness among educators about metaverse, and creating a customized 3D environment and coding it using Lua to create games can be a chal-lenging task for them. The potential of Roblox as a learning platform for higher education has not been explored much. This study aims to investigate the perspective of students on Roblox’s integration as an educational tool using the TAM model, which states that computer accep-tance depends on perceived usefulness and ease of use. The study will examine the potential of Roblox as an educational tool for higher education, as previous research has been limited to elementary schools.

Figs 16, 93–94.
MATERIAL: Holotype, ♂, [N] Vietnam, mountains SW Dong Hoi, 200 m, 20.XI.1961, O. Kabakov leg. (ICM); paratype, ♀, same label (ICM).
DESCRIPTION. Male. Dark brown to black; pronotum, scutellum and elytra testaceous (Fig. 16).
Vertex with wide shallow roundish impression behind antennal prominence. Eyes large, interocular distance ca. 1.5 times shorter than eye diameter. Labrum small, transverse, truncate anteriorly. Palps slender; ultimate palpomeres noticeably longer than wide, narrow, obliquely truncate and flattened at apex. Antennal sockets separated by narrow lamina. Antennae noticeably dentate; antennomere 3 ca. 5.6 times longer than antennomere 2 and subequal in length to antennomere 4; antennomeres 3–11 with dense short erect pubescence (Fig. 16).
Pronotum transverse, ca. 1.4 times as wide as long, with noticeably concave sides, moderately bisinuate basally and strongly semi-circularly produced anteriorly, with short acute, not protruding laterally posterior and blunt anterior angles. Scutellum transverse, parallel-sided, slightly incised at apex (Fig. 16).
Elytra relatively broad, ca. 3.5 times longer than wide at humeri, slightly widening from humeri; with four prominent, almost equally developed primary costae, not significantly different from secondary ones; interstices with even rows of roundish cells; pubescence dense, short and decumbent (Fig. 16).
Legs slender; femoris and tibiae narrow, subequal in length (Fig. 16).
Aedeagus symmetrical, with narrow phallobase and contiguous phallobasal lateral plates; median lobe straight and narrow, only slightly bent left in distal half, with distal opening staring from the middle (Figs 93–94).
Female. Similar to male, but larger, with smaller eyes and distinctly less dentate antennae.
Length: 7.5–9.3 mm. Width (humerally): 1.8–2.3 mm.
ETYMOLOGY. The name of the new species is derived from the Latin for ‘anti’ and the species name ‘ planatus ’, alluding to the similarity of these two taxa, on the one hand, and to the opposite bend of the median lobe of its aedeagus, on the other.
DIAGNOSIS. Plateros proplanatus sp.n. may be distinguished from the somewhat similar-looking P. planatus by the more dentate antennae and more elongate pronotum with round- ed anterior margin (Fig. 16), as well as by the opposite bend of the distal half of the median lobe of its aedeagus (Figs 93–94).
DISTRIBUTION. Northern Vietnam.

description: 20. Bagous frit group
Diagnosis. Apical margin of pygidium deeply emarginate (char. 55.2). Inner surface of dorsal process covered with a dense area of denticles (char. 100.1). Sublateral margin of penis body behind dorsal process with dorsal, sublateral, carinate, V-shaped, denticulate ridge bordering median depression behind dorsal process (char. 106.2). Lateral margin laterad and distad of orifice denticulate (char. 66.1). Penis body in cross-section T-shaped, the sides deeply compressed behind dorsal process and almost joined at midline (char. 58.1). Sublateral margin of penis body behind dorsal process denticulate (char. 105.1). Apical third of penis body asymmetrically deflected to left and asymmetrically flattened (char. 61.1).
Remarks. This group, composed of the European species B. frit and the Japanese species B. fritodes, is characterized by several synapomorphies, especially in the male genitalia. Concerning character state 57.1, this must not be confused with a slight left deflection of the strict apex present in several unrelated species. B. frit and the species belonging to the previous group formed a monophyletic clade, supported in BI and ML (respectively, 69% pp and 57% bs) and not supported in MP; relationships between these groups were also suggested by the molecular analysis, where the reciprocal position of B. frit and B. limosus was, however, reversed.

(1995) included B. fractus and B. fractodes, reciprocally similar in habitus, in the same group, expressing however reservations concerning important differences they share in the shape of the penis. A close relationship between these two species was not supported by our analysis. In B. fractus the apex of the penis body is curved on the left only at its strict apex (as in B. simulans and B. apicalis) but not as in B. frit where the penis body is curved on the left from the apical third.
Species included. PAL: * Bagous fractus O'Brien & Morimoto, 1994.

The Mesozoic Orpheus rift basin, offshore Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, Canada

description: The Orpheus rift basin of offshore eastern Canada formed during the Mesozoic breakup of the Pangean supercontinent before the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean. Using a dense grid of 2D seismic data, I have identified four distinct unconformity-bounded packages (A-D) associated with the basin’s early development. Information from nearby wells (albeit limited) and regional stratigraphy suggest that packages A, B, C, and D represent Paleozoic prerift strata and basement, Late Triassic (possibly Middle Triassic or Permian) to early Early Jurassic synrift strata, late Early to Middle Jurassic lower postrift strata, and Middle to Late Jurassic upper postrift strata, respectively. The synrift section contains salt and numerous igneous intrusions of the latest Triassic/earliest Jurassic Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP).  Based on tectonostratigraphic analysis of the seismic data, I propose that the Orpheus and overlying Scotian basins experienced at least four stages of development during the Mesozoic. 1) Continental extension associated with rifting began by Late Triassic time (and possibly during Middle Triassic or Permian time) and continued into early Early Jurassic time, producing a series of E-striking, S-dipping basement-involved faults with normal separation (the Cobequid-Chedabucto border-fault system) that bound the Orpheus basin on the north. During early rifting, the basin was broad with few intrabasin faults. Most intrabasin, basement-involved faulting began during salt deposition, increasing the accommodation space and causing pronounced southward thickening of the salt. Movement on basement-involved faults during rifting produced broad fault-propagation folds in the synrift strata above the salt. 2) Shortening/inversion occurred shortly after rifting, causing widespread uplift and erosion and producing the breakup unconformity. Below the salt, the shortening reactivated many of the basement-involved extensional faults with at least a reverse component of displacement. Above the salt, the shortening produced salt-cored detachment folds and detached thrust faults. 3) Postrift thermal subsidence started likely by the late Early Jurassic, producing the Scotian postrift basin. Postrift salt movement resumed and continued until Late Jurassic, producing fault-parallel salt-cored highs and salt-withdrawal lows. 4) Regional uplift and erosion occurred during the latest Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, producing the widespread Avalon unconformity.

Note. The third group is represented only by Conus mucronatolaevis (Sacco, 1893), which is outstanding due to its mammillate spire, clearly differing from the other two species-groups. This species is morphologically very close to several species treated as Varioconus by Tucker & Tenorio (2009, 2013) [Varioconus is considered a junior synonym of Lautoconus by Puillandre et al. (2014a, b)]. Especially, Lautoconus micropunctatus (Rolán & Röckel, 2000) is highly reminiscent of C. mucronatolaevis in its outline and colour pattern. Nevertheless, the presence of tuberculate early spire whorls excludes a placement in Lautoconus.

Task analysis

description: Research Questions: One way students may develop conceptual understanding is through working on strands of related mathematical tasks and thus developing and refining their understanding of the underlying mathematical concepts contained in the tasks.  The purpose of this study is to illuminate this process by detailing the inherent mathematical structures in such a strand and discuss what aspects of it facilitated student learning.  The research questions addressed are: (1) What mathematical structures can be uncovered by exploring/engaging with the combinatorics tasks used in the Rutgers longitudinal study?  (2) In what ways are these mathematical structures revealed during students’ problem-solving processes?    Methodology: Ten tasks from the combinatorics/counting strand are selected from the Rutgers longitudinal project for this qualitative study.  The data available for analysis are in the form of digitized video tapes, verified transcripts, and students’ written work.  The analysis focuses on decoding students’ solutions into formal mathematical definitions and theorems.  Concept maps are used to illustrate the overall hierarchy of the presented mathematical structures.      Findings:  There are a total of sixty-three inherent mathematical structures extracted from the formal solutions of ten selected combinatorics tasks.  These structures are categorized as definitions, notations, axioms, properties, formulas, and theorems.  When classified with respect to the seven relevant sub-domains of mathematics, these structures pertain to: set theory, enumerative combinatorics, graph theory, sequences & sets, general algebraic system, probability theory, and geometry.  The analysis suggests that the participating students uncovered many of these mathematical structures primarily in the following ways: (1) Manipulating a concrete model, (2) Listing all possible combinations, (3) Inventing different representations, (4) Seeking patterns, and (5) Making connections.      Conclusion and Suggestions:  These findings support the following suggestions for practice: (1) Teachers may benefit from studying the underlying structures of a task thoroughly before assigning the task to students, (2) In determining the order of related tasks within a strand, teachers need to consider the sophistication level and the coherence of the underlying structures across tasks, (3) Using concrete models can help students to both develop and verify solutions to complex problems, and (4) Tasks whose inherent structures belong to a variety of mathematical sub-domains can help students build an increasingly interconnected view of mathematics.     Significance:  This study outlined a method of extracting inherent mathematical structures from mathematical tasks.  The results suggest that students have natural abilities to uncover these structures by themselves.  It is hoped that this will motivate mathematics teachers to improve the way they think about using problem solving in their teaching.

description: 24. Bagous collignensis group
Diagnosis. Apex of penis body angulately explanate, more or less sagittate (char. 59.1), with lateral margin behind dorsal process acute (char. 103.1). Dorsal process with apex directed backward (char. 94.1), with setal brush situated anteromedially (char. 92.2). Penis body widest in front of dorsal process (char. 97.1), broad area behind dorsal process depressed.
Remarks. This group was present as a monophyletic clade also in BI (94% pp), ML (70% bs) and MP (not supported, 49% sr). The molecular analysis (Fig. 12) included this group in the B. frit clade, with a strong support (98% pp). All the species included in this group share an almost identical penis, differing only in length and in the shape of the more or less sagittate apex, or by the lateral margin laterad and distad of the orifice being denticulate (as in B. confusus, char. 65.1). Some species, like B. collignensis, B. claudicans, B. rufimanus, B. longitarsis and B. vivesi, are also very similar externally, differing only by small features (length of tarsi and punctures of the pronotum). Other species, like B. rotundicollis, B. riedeli and B. lyali, are characterized mainly by a slender body, flattened elytral dorsum and long legs. However, B. lyali is distinguishable from the other two species by the dense pubescence of the sixth funicular segment (char. 22.1). On the contrary, B. diglyptus is easily distinguished by its robust broad-oval body.
This group is composed of Palaearctic, North American and Indian species.

Using Pre-mRNA Secondary Structure to Predict Splicing
Creators: Maity, Alisha P.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Genetics
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Recently, scientists have tried to explain the mechanisms of post-transcriptional splicing. Developments have been made in mRNA secondary structure prediction programs that use thermodynamics to construct possible structural models of mRNA sequences (Seetin and Mathews 2012). Although splicing is a complex process that is affected by multiple interactive variables, attempts have been made to use pre-mRNA secondary structure to explain how splicing decisions are made. Here we show that there does exist some relationship between structure and splicing. Our analysis reveals that in certain areas of an optimized window of Wilms’ Tumor gene exon 5 with flanks, a significant correlation exists between regions of structural pairedness and splicing. Our results specifically point to a strong stem in the exon studied that retains its double-strandedness in the presence of mutations and is associated with high splicing. These findings advance our understanding of the influence of secondary structure on mRNA-protein interactions and encourage us to delve deeper into the complexities of splice site recognition.

description: Excerpts: The primary objective of the symposium was to describe fire issues and problems currently facing land managers and to present state of the art solutions that are currently being implemented by local, State, and Federal organizations concerned with fire management. The focal point of the symposium was the 1991 Oakland/Berkeley Hills “Tunnel Fire”; however, the issues and solutions described are certainly regional and national in scope. Several key issues regarding the role of fire in wildlands and in the urban interface include social barriers, fire safety, fuel management, legal barriers, multiple jurisdictions, program cost and benefits, wildland health, conflicts between wildland resources and residential structures, air quality, and liability.
description: These proceedings summarize the results of a symposium designed to address current issues about wildfire and prescribed fire in both the wildland-urban interface and in wildlands. Thirty-eight invited oral papers and 23 poster papers describing the issues and state-of-the-art solutions to technical, biological, and social challenges currently facing land and fire managers were presented at The Biswell Symposium held February 15-17, 1994, in Walnut Creek, California.
