description: Accurate, real-time detection and characterization of cancerous lesions is essential for effective surgical resection that both minimizes the chance of recurrence and preserves healthy tissue. In multiple ongoing clinical trials, optically-guided surgical techniques are utilizing fluorescent probes that emit light in the near infrared (NIR) window.  Use of NIR light is motivated by lower scattering and autofluorescence in biological tissues than UV or visible light which results in improved imaging depth, contrast, and resolution. Because scattering monotonically decreases with increasing wavelength, several groups have hypothesized that probes emitting at the longer wavelengths in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) window may enable even deeper tissue imaging and greater resolution / contrast. This thesis is focused on engineering an imaging system for fluorescence guided surgery in small animal models using SWIR-emitting human serum albumin encapsulated rare-earth nanocomposites (ReANCs). LabVIEW software controls the illumination, scanning, and imaging hardware components and provides real-time visualization of SWIR emissions overlaid on anatomical (white light) images. A separate Matlab graphical user interface (GUI) was developed to enable quantitative post-processing of images acquired from the SWIR platform.  To validate the SWIR imager, a phantom study comparing the attainable imaging depth and resolution when using ReANCs versus the FDA-approved NIR fluorophore indocyanine green (ICG) versus white light was conducted. Tissue-mimicking gelatin phantoms were created with embedded agarose inclusions containing the contrast agent of interest. Inclusion depth, size, and shape were all varied, and inclusion contrast was quantified from SWIR and NIR images of the intact phantoms. Post-imaging, the inclusions were resected under SWIR, NIR, or white light guidance.  The resected inclusions and inclusion cavities were then imaged to analyze resection accuracy for each guidance method.A pilot in vivo animal study was performed using female athymic homozygous nude mice injected with Erbium-doped ReANCs. Imaging with the SWIR setup provided insight into future animal work.  The cumulative findings of this thesis lay the groundwork for the design of a real-time imager that facilitates fluorescence-guided, deep tissue surgery, which has the potential to improve accuracy of tumor resection and decrease the chance of cancer recurrence.

Neohydatothrips humberto Mound & Marullo, 1996: 169.
Female macroptera. Colour: brown, except for tibiae and fore wing sub-basal pale band and apex; antennal segments I–II yellow, III light brown, IV–VIII brown.
Structure: Occipital apodeme not confluent with posterior margin of eyes, ocellar area weakly reticulate with faint markings between the striae (Fig. 22); pronotum transversely reticulate with internal markings, pronotal blotch distinct; mesonotum transversely striate; metanotum with striae transverse on anterior half and longitudinal on posterior half; metasternal plate with shallow emargination (Fig. 57); fore wing second vein with one seta; comb of microtrichia with sparse minute teeth on tergites II–VI, medium-sized teeth on VII and complete on VIII; tergite IX with 2 pairs of mid-dorsal setae; sternites II–VI with microtrichia medially, VII with microtrichia medially.
Material studied. Paratype female, COSTA RICA, Poas Volcano, on grasses by road, 30.vi.1983 (BMNH). GUATEMALA, Solola, 3 females on Phaseolus vulgaris, 21.iii.1997 (ANIC).
Comments. This species was described based on 5 females from Costa Rica. It is very similar to other dark brown species such as N. mirandai and N. lassatus. It is particularly similar to N. tibialis, from which it is tentatively distinguished based on the characters in the key. These two possibly represent the same species, but the poorly mounted type specimens of N. tibialis do not permit firm conclusions on their identities. Previously known only from Costa Rica, 3 females have been identified from Guatemala.

Flowing power: rivers, energy, and the remaking of colonial New England
Creators: name: Bennett, Zachary M.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation considers how river energy was a source of authority in colonial New England. The caloric, kinetic, and mechanical energy people derived from rivers was necessary for survival in New England’s forbidding environment. During the initial stages of colonization, both Europeans and Indians struggled to secure strategic positions on waterways because they were the only routes capable of accommodating trade from the coast to the interior. European and Native peoples came into conflict by the late seventeenth century as they overextended the resource base. Exerting dominion in the ensuing wars on New England’s frontiers was directly tied to securing strategic river spaces since the masters of these places determined the flow of communication and food for the surrounding territory. Following British military conquest, colonists aggressively dammed rivers to satisfy the energy demands of their growing population. These dams eviscerated fish runs, shunting access to waterpower away from Native Americans and yeoman farmers. The transformation of New England’s hydrology was a critical factor in the dispossession indigenous peoples before the Revolution and essential in laying the legal groundwork for the region’s industrial future. This project shows that the groups which controlled waterpower drove the changes which reorganized the environment along a Native American, colonial, and finally industrial capitalist sense of natural order.

(Figs 28, 59, 61, 62, 77, 98, 99)
Sericothrips inversus Hood, 1928: 232. Sericothrips geminus Hood, 1935: 146.
Female macroptera. Colour: body yellow with light brown markings (Fig. 98), pronotum with three pairs of light brown areas laterally that are not fused medially; mesonotum yellow, metanotum light brown; tergites II–VII with antecostal ridge brown and paired brown markings anterolaterally, VIII–X yellow; fore wing pale with faintly shaded area in basal third, clavus weakly shaded; antennal segment I pale, II with light brown markings, III pale at base, IV brown medially with apex sharply pale; hind tibiae yellow, femora lightly shaded.
Structure: Occipital apodeme not confluent with posterior margin of eyes; mouth cone long, extending between fore coxae; antennal segments III & IV with apex constricted into neck; pronotum transversely striate (Fig. 28); mesonotum with four setae in transverse row, metanotum weakly reticulate; metasternal plate weakly developed, anterior margin almost transverse (Fig. 59); fore wing second vein with no setae; tergites VII–VIII with complete comb of long microtrichia on posterior margin, no comb medially on remaining tergites; tergite IX with 4 pairs of mid-dorsal setae (Fig. 77); sternites III–VII without discal microtrichia medially.
Male macroptera. Similar to female but smaller (Fig. 99), sternites IV–VII with oval pore plate 25 microns wide (Mound & Marullo 1996).
Material Studied. Holotype female of inversus, DOMINICA, 13.iii.1915 (USNM). Holotype female of geminus, PANAMA, Barro Colorado Is., 9.viii.1933 (USNM). BRAZIL, Piauí State, Bom Jesus, 3 females from weeds, 30.vii.2012 (E.F.B.Lima) (UFPI). TRINIDAD, Curepe, 1 female from Coursetia arborea leaves, 9.xi.1970 (L.A.Mound). MEXICO, Oaxaca State, La Ventosa, 1 female from? Citrus, 29.iii.2014 (F. Infante) (ANIC).
Comments. Described originally from Dominica and Trinidad, this species was recorded subsequently from Panama. Mound and Marullo (1996) synonymised geminus with N. inversus, these two having a very similar mesonotum and metanotum. We examined the type material of both species, and the types of geminus differ from those of inversus in having the sense cones on segment IV distinctly longer (Figs 61, 62), also the anterior margin of the pronotal blotch completely coloured, with the pronotal discal setae in a transverse row. Nevertheless, in material from Brazil and Central America these character states are not constant, with specimens variably bearing morphological traits of both nominal species. Therefore, geminus remains treated here as synonym of N. inversus.

description: Rhabdostyla congregata (Zacharias, 1903)
[Rhabdostyla] (Rhabdostyla) congregata Zacharias, 1903 — Kahl, 1935: 676
Diagnosis: Size about 38–40 µm long and about 30 µm wide. Body shape like a small Epistylis, a little more rounded than other species. Stalk about 8–12 µm long. Smooth film, without streaks. Horseshoe-shaped macronucleus, found in the lower third of the body. One or two contractile vacuoles always present. Specimens found in large numbers, usually more than 25, on rotifers and rarely on crustaceans.
Remarks: Diagnosis according to Zacharias (1903) and Kahl (1935). Zacharias (1903) he accompanied the encystment of this species. Cyst about 32 and 28 µm wide. The wall of the cysts was very thick, about 2–3 thick, the surface of the cyst was not smooth, it had bumps. Dispersal processes were also reported, as some zooids in the group developed a telotrocal band, detached themselves from the basibiont, and sought new substrates.

(Fig. 18E–F)
Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 1 Ə (CB 11.2 mm including lateral teeth×CL 8.6 mm), NSMT-Cr 30754.
Remarks. The specimen of Pilumnus longicornis at hand is slightly smaller than the size usually seen, but is typical in the setation and armature of the carapace and ambulatory legs (Fig. 18E). This species is most characteristic in having three strong spines on the median to submedian parts of the anterior margin of each merus of the first three ambulatory legs, with a spine at the distal end. Otherwise, P. longicornis is characterized by the following: 1) the carapace is covered with sparse, short setae, with a line of long setae along the frontal margin and some tufts of similar setae on the protogastric and mesobranchial regions; 2) the carapace dorsal surface is shallowly separated into regions which are regularly covered with minute granules of equal size; 3) the frontal lobes are rather rounded and produced forwards; 4) the three anterolateral teeth of the carapace are each tipped with a sharp spine on the thick base, curving strongly obliquely forward; 5) both chelipeds are different in size, the merus outer margin being armed with a strong spine-tipped tubercle behind the subterminal depression followed by two much smaller tubercles; the carpus surface is wholly and equally covered with conical granules; the larger palm is smooth and polished except for the upper basal part covered with conical granules similar to those on the carpus upper surface.
Balss (1933) synonymized Pilumnus andersoni De Man, 1887 and P. tantulus Rathbun, 1923 with this species, without comment. Takeda and Miyake (1968) simply followed this conclusion, but Ng et al. (2008) listed P. tantulus as valid. The original figures of P. tantulus show the quite similar formation of the carapace and chelipeds with this species, but the ambulatory armature is described as "Ambulatory legs hairy, the merus roughened above by fine, unequal spinules."
Distribution. Widely distributed throughout the whole Indo-West Pacific, from East Africa through the Indian Ocean to the western and central Pacific, with bathymetric records from 5 to 100 m.

description: The HomeStyles Express Program is a childhood obesity prevention intervention for parents of preschool aged children that incorporates Pediatric Weight Management Evidence-Based Nutrition Practice Guidelines from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, formerly the American Dietetic Association. Participants (n=54) were female (100%), white (80%), and college graduates with a bachelor’s degree or higher (82%).  Participants were assigned into either the control (n=29) or treatment (n=25) groups and completed a baseline survey and follow-up survey online. Between the surveys, the treatment group participants received 1 of 8 different HomeStyles Guides approximately 1 week apart by email and spent about 15 minutes each week in a telephone counseling session with a trained dietetics/nutrition researcher. Participants in the treatment group of the HomeStyles Express Program reported significantly increased confidence for getting their children to eat fruits and vegetables and for buying healthy foods over time, as well as significantly greater physical activity levels for themselves and for their children and significantly fewer minutes per day of screentime for themselves over time. Participants rated the HomeStyles instructional Guides and the trained dietetics/nutrition researchers highly. The HomeStyles Express Program was well received by participants and has the potential to assist mothers and their children in making weight-related parental and child cognitive and behavioral changes.

Remarks. Pilumnus hirsutus Stimpson, 1858, has been considered to be synonymous with P. minutus (De Haan, 1835) first by Parisi (1916), and then followed by Sakai (1939, 1965, 1976) and Takeda and Miyake (1968). The original description of P. hirsutus was translated from Latin to English, with an illustration and some additional information (Stimpson, 1907), and as rightly mentioned, the original description of P. minutus is short, and the figure is too small and poor for subsequent definite identification. However, Stimpson`s description and figure of P. hirsutus (1858, 1907) based on the specimens from the northern China Sea (=East China Sea), Ousima (=Amami-Oshima Island), and the Bonin Islands (=Ogasawara Islands) also lacks the sufficient detail for the accurate identification. According to Takeda and Miyake (1968), P. minutus is the most abundant species of Pilumnus in Japanese shallow waters, and therefore, it is reasonably considered that P. minutus and P. hirsutus reported from Japanese waters represent the same species, and some differences in carapace dorsal granulation and setation, and the ambulatory armature with spines, spinules or sharp granules between both species are not specific and may be referred to individual variation.
There are many records of P. hirsutus from the wide area in the Indo-West Pacific before the 1960s. Dai and Yang (1991: fig. 178, pl. 49-5) recorded P. minutus, without mention of P. hirsutus, and the photograph is not always clear, but the G1 is close to the figures given by Takeda and Miyake (1968: fig. 9d, as P. minutus) and Chopra and Das (1937: fig. 11, as P. hirsutus) in having the brush-like setae near the distal part, which is not seen in the other species of Pilumnus.
Distribution. Widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific from Japan to Australia and to South Africa, down to about 200 m depth, but usually 30 to 50 m depth (cf. Takeda and Miyake, 1968).

description: In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on cultivating critical thinking skills among students in China's higher education system. National education initiatives and reforms have underscored the importance of fostering innovative thinking, practical problem-solving abilities, and creating an environment conducive to independent thought and exploration. Central to the development of innovative spirit and practical skills is the cultivation of critical thinking, which serves as a foundational element for these skills. This shift in educational priorities is in line with the broader goal of enhancing the overall quality of compulsory education.

One key aspect of this educational shift is the exploration of integrated teaching approaches that incorporate subject-based curriculum, research-based methods, project-based learning, and collaborative approaches. These initiatives aim to equip students with essential higher-order thinking skills, including the ability to gather and evaluate relevant information, analyze data, formulate hypotheses, and address complex problems effectively.

This paper explores the evolving landscape of education in China, focusing on the promotion of critical thinking as a fundamental component of students' skill development. It discusses the implications of these changes for teaching and learning, highlighting the importance of nurturing critical thinking skills to meet the demands of contemporary education
Hydraulic modeling of thermal outfall diffusers for the San Onofre nuclear power plant

description: Various hydraulic model tests were performed in connection with the design and performance of the offshore thermal outfalls for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (jointly owned by the Southern California Edison Company and the San Diego Gas and Electric Company)near San Clemente, California. These include model investigations of: (i) the multiple port discharges for the proposed Units 2 and 3, (ii) the existing submerged single outlet from Unit 1, (iii) the discharge of heated water from the Units 2 and 3 intakes during heat treatment, and (iv) hydraulic characteristics of discharge ports.

On the basis of these investigations, the diffusion structure for each of the proposed new units was designed to be 2500 feet long aligned perpendicular to shore. The diffuser for Unit 3 will extend from 3500 to 6000 feet from shore, and that for Unit 2 from 6000 to 8500 feet from shore. Each diffuser will have 63 discharge nozzles aimed offshore (±25° from the pipe axis, 20° above horizontal). The momentum of the discharge produces and offshore drift of the diluted warm-water plume.

The maximum temperature rise on the surface caused by the discharge was found to decrease with increasing longshore current speed, and the discharge momentum from the jets was effective in preventing significant re-entrainment in the event of reversing or low currents.

Although the California thermal discharge requirements specify a maximum surface temperature increase of 4°F (beyond 1000 feet from the discharge structure), the laboratory target maximum was established at 2.5°F, to account for possible model-prototype differences and unmodeled effects. The hydraulic model studies showed that the proposed outfall design meets the laboratory target value for a variety of possible longshore current conditions; therefore, it is predicted that the prototype outfall operation will meet the California thermal discharge requirements.

description: Te Wairoa Hōpūpū Hōnengenenge Mātangirau (Wairoa River) and its tributaries are significant to the iwi and hapū of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa in Wairoa, an area spanning northern Hawke's Bay and southern Gisborne located on the Eastern side of Aotearoa New Zealand's North Island. The Wairoa River is valued ecologically and for recreation and mahinga kai (food and resource gathering). The river is also affected by excess sediments. In this paper we present a cultural values framework developed in Wairoa and adapted to focus on the awa (river). Ninety-two cultural value assessments were conducted with 55 people along reaches of the Wairoa river and the Waiau, its principal tributary. The data reveal considerable spatial and temporal variability in cultural health and add to knowledge of the direct and indirect impacts of sediment on cultural values. Furthermore, the data highlight the resiliency of cultural values of connectedness despite degradation to the environment, and that a range of methods can be employed to support or enhance the health of cultural values to complement water quality improvements. The use of this framework responds to the increasingly recognised need to include diverse perspectives in monitoring programmes and demonstrates that M?ori-led cultural monitoring is a means to produce credible, relevant and legitimate information to support policy and planning.

(Fig. 29)
Sericothrips luculentus Moulton, 1938: 376.
Female macroptera. Colour: body yellow with light brown markings, pronotum with four pairs of small light brown areas laterally that are not fused medially; tergites II–VII with antecostal ridge light brown and small paired brown markings anterolaterally, VIII–X yellow. Fore wing uniformly grey; antennal segment I pale, II light brown, III pale at base, IV mainly light brown; hind tibiae and femora yellow.
Structure: Occipital apodeme close to but not confluent with posterior margin of eyes, ocellar area not sculptured; mouth cone not long; antennal segments III & IV with apex not constricted into neck; pronotum closely transversely striate (Fig. 29); mesonotum with median pair of setae slightly anterior to lateral pair, metanotum striate; metasternal plate with shallow emargination; fore wing second vein with two setae distally; tergite III–VII with posteromarginal comb absent medially, VIII with complete comb; tergite IX with 2 pairs of mid-dorsal setae; sternites apparently with microtrichia medially.
Material Studied. Holotype female, BRAZIL, Minas Gerais, 22.vi.1933 (CAS).
Comments. Although described from 1 female and 1 male, the male was probably a different species from the holotype (Mound & Marullo 1996). This female is badly mounted, but is similar to N. burungae with the pronotal striae closer, much as in typical Scirtothrips species, and the interocellar area lacks sculpture. It is also particularly similar to N. zucchi in having long sense cones, but can be distinguished by the characters in the key.

(Fig. 18A–B)
Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 1 $ (CB 10.6× CL 7.5 mm), NSMT-Cr 30760.
Remarks. The female examined (Fig. 18A–B) is characteristic in the short setae covering the carapace and the simple carapace anterolateral spines as described below, agreeing with the original figure that is somewhat diagrammatic, but enough to identify the species as P. rotundus.
This species is briefly diagnosed as follows. The carapace is covered uniformly with short, subequal setae, but not obscuring dorsal surface, without long setae and granules; the surface areolation is indistinct; the external orbital angle is armed with two spinules of equal length arranged along the carapace anterolateral margin; the anterolateral margin is armed with three, equidistant spines of equal length; each spine is perpendicular to the carapace surface, without bulged base. The outer surfaces of the cheliped carpus and palm are covered with setae similar to those on the carapace dorsal surface and armed with prominent spines similar to the three carapace anterolateral spines; the movable finger of the cheliped is also armed with slightly shorter, but similar spines on its basal half. The ambulatory legs are stout and fringed with long soft setae, with a spinule at the median part of each merus anterior margin and at the distal part of each merus and carpus anterior margin, respectively.
The type specimen of P. rotundus from Kolumdulu Atoll, Maldives, is 12 mm in breadth and 8 mm length, without record of sex. However, Deb (1987) mentioned that the original description was based on a very young specimen and quite inadequate. The female specimens newly recorded from Pearl Banks, Sri Lanka, and Port Blair, Andaman Islands, are CW 22.5mm and CL 15 mm, and CW 12 mm and CL 7 mm, respectively. Unfortunately, it is difficult to be sure of its identification and for the subsequent identification due to the inadequate description and low quality of the photograph provided by Deb (1987: pl. 12 fig. 3).
Distribution. Maldives, Sri Lanka, Andaman Islands, and now from northern Australia, 49–63 m depth.

description: ABSTRACT:The rapid digitalization of various aspects of life has significantly transformed dentistry, improving the quality  of  dental  care  through  advanced  technologies  like  artificial  intelligence  (AI).  AI,  which replicates  human  cognitive  processes,  has  revolutionized  dental  practices  by  automating  time-consuming  tasks  and  offering  precise  diagnostics  and  treatment  plans.  Despite  being  in  early development stages, AI in dentistry signifies a disruptive technology poised to redesign clinical care. Innovations  such  as  CAD/CAM  systems,  intraoral  imaging,  and  digital  radiography  illustrate AI's applications in caries diagnosis, implant design, etc. Historical milestones, from conceptualization of AI to advancements in machine learning and neural networks, have paved the way for sophisticated AI models used in various dental specialties, including pediatric dentistry. AI's potential extends to patient education  and  practice  management,  promising  a  future  where  dentistry  is  increasingly  efficient, accurate, and patient-centered. This review highlights role of AI in pediatric dentistry with special mention of review of literature.
Notes toward an American georgic: essay(s)
Creators: name: Brown, John Mark
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: As Robert Has writes in A Little Book on Form, the georgic—similar to how satire moves as vector toward the elegy—works as a tool through which we are able to bring ourselves toward ode. This collection of linked personal lyric essays explores themes of intergenerational violence, codes of masculinity, work ethic, rural community, opportunity, and the ways in which place influences identity, playing out against a backdrop of the rural Midwest, involving buffalo, severed thumbs, dead raccoons, mysterious neighbors, Eve’s Eden, and a baptistry. In a segmented form, Notes juxtaposes insights from research alongside vignettes of personal narrative in order to circle and illuminate their central questions, as if to surround is more sufficient than to impale. These notes work toward an associative clarity akin to Virgil, as if to work in pursuit of a contemporary georgic is to find oneself rapt, tethered in something edging toward the untenable— a terrible revelation, a love.
The relationship between emotion regulation and different types of inhibition
Creators: name: Crowell, John Lawrence
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: Emotion regulation can be viewed as the process that individuals engage in to alter the intensity, duration, or type of emotion they are experiencing. Two of the ER strategies that have been found to be effective in their ability to reduce negative emotions are reappraisal and distraction. However, the role of individual cognitive factors, particularly inhibition, on the efficacy of these strategies is not thoroughly understood. Thus, the purpose of the current research was to determine the impact of different kinds of inhibition on ER efficacy. Participants completed two cognitive tasks: the Eriksen flanker task measuring inhibitory control of attention and a memory inhibition task measuring cognitive inhibition. Participants also completed an emotion regulation task in which they were asked to view graphic pictures and use either reappraisal or distraction to reduce their negative emotional reactions. Contrary to my hypotheses, there were no significant relationships between performance on the inhibition and emotion regulation tasks. Future research should investigate whether these findings are indicative of methodological limitations or reflect the true nature of the relationship between these variables.
