Pseudomontanococcus Kozár & Hodgson in Kozár et al. 2008, 47–62. Type species: Pseudomontanococcus martini Kozár & Konczné Benedicty, by original designation.
Introduction. This genus is currently only known from New Guinea and includes 2 species, both collected in moss and ground litter. The adult male of only L. martini has been described and is currently the only known apterous male within the Gondwanan group of eriococcids.
Generic diagnosis based on adult male P. martini (Fig. 36). Body: apterous, small, without any thoracic sclerotised plates; covered in numerous long setae, hs longer than fs but sometimes hard to separate; fs present on abdomen in addition to antennae and legs; with a pair of loculate pores on head. Head: simple pores absent; ocular sclerite with faint striations or ridges; dorsal mid-cranial ridge absent; preocular ridge short; genal setae present; postoccipital ridge well developed; antennae 9 segmented, most segments broader than long; flagellar segments with both hs and fs; capitate setae absent. Thorax: pronotal ridge well developed; entirely membranous and setose; postmesospiracular setae present; metasternum with few setae; campaniform sensilla narrow and in a line; tibia with 2 spurs; tarsi 2 segmented; claw digitules capitate; claws elongate, without a denticle. Abdomen: fs present on both tergites and sternites; glandular pouches absent but with a long stout seta in this position on segment VIII; penial sheath about as long as basal width; style broad anteriorly, becoming sharply pointed posteriorly.
Comment. The adult male of P. martini is superficially similar to those of apterous Rhizoecidae and Pseudococcidae, but can be separated from the former by the presence of ocelli (absent); and from both apterous rhizoecids and pseudococcids by: (i) presence of a cervical groove (absent); (ii) presence of pronotal ridge (absent); (iii) the distribution of the campaniform sensilla on trochanter: in a straight line on P. martini but in a curve or circle on rhizoecids and pseudococcids, and (iv) absence of loculate pores on thorax and abdomen (usually present).
Note that the authorship of P. martini is incorrect in Scalenet (García Morales et al. 2019) as is also the pagination.

Pseudotectococcus Hempel 1934, 139. Type species: Pseudotectococcus anonae Hempel by monotypy and original designation.
Introduction. Little is known about the two species in this South American genus. However, galls of both sexes occur on the upper leaf surface of Annonaceae, those of females slightly rounder and blunter than those of males. The gall openings are all on the ventral surface of the leaf. Full descriptions of the adult females of both species and the adult male of P. rolliniae Hodgson & Gonçalves, are given in Hodgson et al. (2004) and Hodgson and Miller (2010) (where the figure is incorrectly labelled as P. anonae Hempel).
Generic diagnosis based on adult male morphology of Pseudotectococcus rolliniae (Fig. 37). Body: abdomen narrowing gradually; stout fs present on abdomen in addition to antennae and legs; loculate pores absent apart from in glandular pouches. Head: simple pores absent; ocular sclerite with very few striations or reticulations; dorsal mid-cranial ridge short; preocular ridge absent; genal setae present, both fs and hs; postoccipital ridge well developed, but anterior arm short; antennae 8 segmented; flagellar segments with both hs and fs, latter rather plump; capitate setae present only on apical antennal segment and perhaps previous segment, each apical segment with 7–10 capitate setae. Thorax: prosternal median ridge poorly developed; prescutum with or without prescutal setae; scutal setae present laterally; scutellum with scutellar setae; postmesospiracular setae present, all fs; basisternum with a few setae; metasternum with few setae; metaprecoxal ridge absent; postmetaspiracular setae present; tibia with 2 spurs; tibia and tarsus with a few stout fs; tarsi 2 segmented; claw digitules capitate; claws elongate, without a denticle. Abdomen: stout fs present on both tergites and sternites; glandular pouches present on segment VIII; setae on segment IX and style few; penial sheath quite long, with segment IX about 2/3rds length of style; style broad anteriorly, becoming sharply pointed posteriorly and about twice as long as basal width of segment IX.
Comment. As pointed out above, adult male P. rolliniae are rather similar to those of Calycicoccus merwei from South Africa. For main differences, see under the latter species and also the key to Gondwanan eriococcids above.

description: Results of a comprehensive investigation of the seagrass demographics in the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary during 2008 indicate ongoing degradation of seagrass habitat associated with increasing eutrophic conditions. Surveys of seagrass beds in Barnegat Bay and Little Egg Harbor from spring to fall in 2008 show that the seagrass beds have not yet recovered from the marked reduction of plant biomass (g dry wt m-2), density (shoots m-2), blade length, and percent cover recorded in 2006. Quadrat, core, and hand sampling, as well as digital camera imaging at 120 transect sites in 4 disjunct seagrass beds of the estuary during the June-November period in 2008, as in  2004, 2005, and 2006, reveal distinct changes in demographic patterns that can lead to significant shifts in ecosystem services.
Regulation of TGFβ signaling by microRNAs
Creators: name: Li, Ying
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: The TGFβ superfamily plays important roles in various processes. With the genetic tools available, Drosophila has been a useful model organism to study the regulators of the TGFβ pathways, which can shed light on potential treatments for many developmental disorders and diseases caused by aberrant TGFβ signaling. microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs, acting posttranscriptionally to regulate gene expression, that are involved in various aspects of cellular and developmental processes. My thesis work examines the regulation of TGFβ-like pathways by miRNAs. Specifically, with the combination of computational algorithms and tissue culture methods, my early work successfully identified and validated the targets of Drosophila miRNAs. From that, I found that bantam, a miRNA, can down regulate Mad (Mothers against dpp), a signaling component of TGFβ. Furthermore, I used Drosophila as a model and demonstrated that bantam is a negative regulator of the Dpp (decapentaplegic) pathway. My results showed bantam down regulates Mad (Mothers against dpp) expression in vivo by targeting the Mad 3’UTR, resulting in changes in Dpp signaling. The removal of bantam binding sites in the 3’UTR of a Mad transgene results in a significant increase in the viability of haploinsufficient dpp animals compared to a Mad transgene carrying intact bantam binding sites in the 3’UTR. Interestingly, bantam is up-regulated by Dpp in the wing imaginal disc, and thereby functions in a Dpp feedback loop. Furthermore, this feedback loop is important for maintaining anterior-posterior (A/P) compartment boundary stability in the wing disc through regulation of omb (optomotor-blind). Comparative genomics reveal that bantam is evolutionarily conserved, and miRNA target predictions suggest that human bantam homologs selectively target Smad5, one of two homologs of Mad in BMP signaling, but does not target Smad2 which functions in the activin/TGFβ pathway. These data suggest that bantam is a conserved negative regulator of BMP/Dpp signaling.    In addition to the work in the wing disc, I extended my studies and examined the role of bantam in Drosophila brain development. My work shows that bantam is critical for maintaining the stem cell pools of the optic lobe, and that bantam has a cell-autonomously effect on glial cell proliferation and distribution, largely through targeting omb.
The relationship between phoneme perception and production
Creators: name: Lichtenstein, Aliza
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Twenty-eight typically developing preschool children were tested in 2 experiments. In a perception experiment, the children heard phonologically minimal quartets of words and chose which of 4 pictures matched the target word (e.g., selecting a picture of a snail from among pictures of snail, sail, nail, and mail). In a production experiment, they repeated the target word (e.g., snail). These experiments revealed evidence of a link between perception and production at age 4 and 5, but not at age 3, suggesting that the link between speech perception and production develops during the preschool years.
Video-based facial expression analysis

description: Recognizing facial expressions from facial video sequences is an important and unsolved problem. Among many factors that contribute to the challenges of this task are: non-frontal facial poses, poorly aligned face images, large variations in the temporal scale of facial expressions, and the subtle differences between different subjects for the same facial expression etc. A successful video-based facial expression analysis system should be able to handle at least the following problems: robust face tracking, or spatial alignment of the faces, video segmentation, effective feature representation and selection schemes which are robust to face mis-alignment and temporal normalization by sequential classifier. In this work we report several advances we made in building various components of a system for classifying facial expressions from video inputs. Particularly, my work focus on robust face tracking, facial feature representation and selection under different face alignment conditions, sequential modeling for facial expression recognition. We performed extensive experiments using the proposed algorithms on publicly available dataset and achieved state of the art performances.

Electrorheology and particle dynamics of single-wall-carbon-nanotube suspensions under shear and electric fields
Creators: name: Lin, Chen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Electrorheological (ER) fluids are smart materials consisting of polarizable particles in an insulating liquid. Under an electric field, the dispersed particles develop an induced dipole moment and interact with each other to form chains or fibrous structures. This anisotropic microstructure enables ER fluids to have reversible changes on their macroscopic rheological properties, such as apparent viscosity and yield stress. As such, electrorheological fluids have potential application in the control of devices such as dampers, clutches, and robotics. Single-wall-carbon-nanotubes (SWNTs), because of their nanoscale size, large aspectratio and high polarizability, are of interest as a possible dispersed phase of novel, highly efficient ER fluids. In this work, we experimentally demonstrated for the firsttime the ER response of dilute SWNT suspensions, with a more-than-doubling of the apparent viscosity at moderate shear rates for a SWNT volume fraction of just [Phi symbol]  =1.5×10[superscript −5]. By systematically varying the shear rate and electric field, we found that the electrorheological response can be interpreted in terms of an electrostatic-polarizationmodel, where the governing parameter was a modified Mason number giving the ratio of viscous to dipole-dipole forces. Analysis of the electrostatic forces suggested that the magnitude of the electrorheological response in the dilute SWNT suspension, which wasmuch higher than conventional electrorheological fluids of comparable volume fractions, was due to the high aspect ratio of the nanotubes. Further studies of the particle dynamics and electrorheology of SWNT suspensions were made to better understand the possible connection between the macroscopic rhe-ology and microscopic particle dynamics. Using an optical polarization-modulation method and a modified concentric-cylinder viscometer, the first experimental measurements were made of ensemble-averaged SWNT orientation angles under combined shearflow and electric fields. The particle-orientation response was found to occur on time scales one to two orders of magnitude faster than the macroscopic electrorheological response, indicating that the particle orientation does not directly affect the apparentviscosity at these low concentrations. Consistent with the theory developed by Mason and coworkers for ellipsoidal particles, the equilibrium particle-orientation angles for various shear rates and electric fields collapsed when plotted against a parametergiving the ratio of electrostatic-to-shear-flow torques. However, the measured equilibrium orientation angles for the SWNTs showed poor quantitative agreement with the classical model. Analysis of the electrostatic interaction torques between large-aspect-ratio SWNTs showed that the interactions are significant in spite of the diluteness of the suspension, and likely account for the discrepancy between the measurement andpredicted particle orientation angles.

description: Abstract

The research aims to analyze the correlation and interaction between two key factors: (1) the marketing mix and the satisfaction of Pindul Cave Gunung Kidul recreational sports players, and (2) the quality of Pindul Cave Tubing recreational sports management services and the satisfaction of sports players. The research sample consists of 167 recreational sports players in Pindul Cave, and data was collected using a questionnaire on the marketing mix strategy scale (0.972), service quality (0.973), and satisfaction of recreational sports players (0.979). The data analysis technique employed is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using AMOS 26 software. The test results show that the marketing mix significantly affects the satisfaction of sports players, with a t-value or C.R. of 5.106 and a P-value of 0.001 which is less than 0.05. Similarly, the testing of service quality on the satisfaction of recreational sports players also yields significant results, with a t-value or C.R. of 5.313 and a P-value of 0.001 which is less than 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that both the marketing mix and service quality significantly affect the satisfaction of sports players. These findings propose a new policy model for enhancing marketing mix strategies and improving service quality to increase sports players’ satisfaction in Pindul Cave.

description: Tectococcus Hempel 1900
Tectococcus Hempel 1900, 379, 406. Type species: Tectococcus ovatus Hempel by monotypy and original designation.
Introduction. Tectococcus currently includes a single species from Brazil, T. ovatus, which induces circular galls on the young leaves and buds of mainly Psidium cattleianum (Myrtaceae) but also on Psidium variabile [spelt wrong in García Morales et al. (2019)] and Daphnopsis racemose (Thymelaeaceae) (Vitorino et al. 2000). In addition, Hoy (1963) gives Aplidium variabile (Polyclinidae) as a host plant but no such name appears to exist. Nymphs may also establish galls on young branches and even on the developing fruit. Vitorino et al. (2000) state that reproduction is facultatively parthenogenetic, although males appear in late Spring and sometimes in late Autumn. There are probably 2 generations a year, one in May and June (sometimes into July), and another in January and February (Vitorino et al. 2000). The adult female and adult male were described by Viterino et al. (2000) and the adult female, firstinstar nymph and adult male were redescribed by Hodgson and Miller (2010).
Generic diagnosis based on adult male morphology (Fig. 40). Body: abdomen attenuated, about 2/3 rd of body length, tapering to a narrow penial sheath; setae few, perhaps mainly hs. Head: simple pores present; ocular sclerite with a few reticulations; dorsal mid-cranial ridge absent; preocular ridge absent; antennae 8 segmented; flagellar segments with hs and fs; capitate setae present on apical four segments. Thorax: scutal setae present laterally; scutellum with scutellar setae; basisternal setae present; metasternum with few setae; metaprecoxal ridge absent; postmetaspiracular setae possibly absent; tibia and tarsus setose, most setae spur-like; tarsi 2 segmented; claw digitules capitate but one narrower than other; claws elongate, with a denticle. Abdomen: elongate, narrowing to a narrow penial sheath; glandular pouches absent on segment VIII; setae absent on segment IX but with 2 pairs near apex of style; style narrow, becoming pointed posteriorly.
Comment. The adult male of T. ovatus is easily separated from other known adult male eriococcids from the Neotropics by the following combination of characters: (i) abdomen much elongated, narrowing to a narrow penial sheath; (ii) body setae very few, all hs; (iii) antennae 8 segmented; (iv) capitate setae present on apical 4 antennal segments, and (v) pores present on head. The elongate abdomen is somewhat similar to those found in various Australian genera – see the above key for genera in the Gondwanan group for differences.

Sample size weighting in probabilistic inference

description: How do people evaluate data on the basis of sample size?  Normatively, sample size is an important factor that one should consider when making judgments and inferences from sample data.  Previous research is mixed regarding whether or not laypeople are sensitive to sample size.  However, in this paper I show that laypeople attend to sample size, but that their sensitivity decreases as sample sizes become larger.  This curvilinear functional form is found for both high and low numerate subjects across two different judgment tasks.  However, high numerate subjects consistently show greater sensitivity to sample sizes than lower numerates, although they still underweight sample size relative to normative standards.  Low numerate subjects’ sensitivity to sample size may be increased by providing raw data and instructions that sample size matters.

description: Sediments contaminated with weathered polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) are problematic around the world. River Kymijoki is highly contaminated with PCDFs mainly originating from the production of the wood preservative Ky-5 until the 1980s. Limited information is available on the in situ microbial reductive dechlorination of weathered PCDD/Fs. The overall objectives of my work were to assess the potential for anaerobic microbial dechlorination of weathered PCDFs and to gain information on the application in bioremediation and detoxification of contaminated sediment using Kymijoki River sediments as a case model. Experiments in mesocosms (30 L), microcosms (200 mL) and enrichment cultures (40 mL) demonstrated the potential for dechlorination of weathered PCDFs as well as spiked PCDD/Fs by the indigenous microorganisms of Kymijoki River sediment. The relative decrease of highly chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs) was accompanied with an increase of tetra- and penta-CDFs over a 7-year period in mesocosms. Amendment with halogenated co-substrates, tetrachlorobenzene (TeCB) and pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB), and bioaugmentation with Dehalococcoides ethenogenes strain 195 selectively stimulated dechlorination of weathered PCDFs after 18 months in microcosms. Dechlorinating enrichment cultures were established from the microcosms and spiked with 1,2,3,4-tetra-CDD/F and octaCDF with PCNB as a co-substrate. 1,2,3,4-tetra-CDD was dechlorinated mainly via 1,2,3-triCDD to 2,3-di-CDD and 2-mono-CDD over 13 months incubation. Dechlorination of 1,2,3,4-tetra-CDF was slow and less extensive compared to that of 1,2,3,4-tetra-CDD, with 2,4-di-CDF as the most abundant dechlorination product accumulating after 13 months. More extensive dechlorination of 1,2,3,4-tetra-CDD was observed in the presence of PCNB, which demonstrated that PCNB was capable of enhancing the dechlorinating potential of the indigenous microorganisms in Kymijoki sediments. Dechlorination of spiked octa-CDF was observed with the production of hepta-, hexa-, penta- and tetra-CDFs over 5.5 months incubation. DGGE analysis revealed diverse Chloroflexi community in mesocosms and a highly selected Chloroflexi community in the enrichment cultures. One of the stimulated Chloroflexi populations clustered closely with the Pinellas subgroup of Dehalococcoides. Our results suggest that dechlorination of weathered PCDD/Fs contaminants may be mediated by indigenous microbial populations as a means for in situ bioremediation of PCDD/F contaminated sediments.
Interference issues in modern communications systems

description: A critical component of a communication system's design is the analysis of potential electromagnetic interference from within the system and from outside sources. Through physical and mathematical modeling, we can quantify the impact of interference on key performance metrics of the system and pursue an optimal design based on certain interference constraints. In this dissertation, we investigate several interference related issues in three emerging technologies: Broadband over Power Line (BPL), Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA), and Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANET). In the BPL study, we analyze the radio interference from a BPL system operating between 2 MHz and several tens of MHz. An overhead medium-voltage power line is modeled as a 3-phase set of parallel wires above a lossy earth. Both a near-exact solution and a closed-form far-field approximation are presented. The maximum allowable excitation voltage vs. frequency is computed by assuming compliance with FCC field strength limits. These calibration results are used to study the interference to both terrestrial and airborne services, using noise floor increase as a metric of interference severity. We also quantify the relationship between BPL capacity and BPL interference. In the DSA study, we propose a solution to spectrum policy enforcement in DSA networks involving the detection of unauthorized spectrum usage. We formulate the anomalous usage detection problem using statistical significance testing. The detection problem is investigated considering two cases, characterized by whether the authorized (primary) transmitter is mobile or fixed. We propose a detection scheme for each case, respectively, by exploiting the spatial pattern of received signal energy across a network of sensors. Analytical models are formulated when the distribution of the energy measurements is given and we present an algorithm using machine learning techniques to solve the general case when the statistics of the energy measurements are unknown. In the MANET study, we propose a two-phase interference classification framework in a CSMA/CA-based MANET. It classifies different jamming attacks in a 3-D metric space and distinguishes unintentional interference and interference-free conditions based on the consistency of ACK errors and received signal strength.
Personalizing information retrieval using task features, topic knowledge, and task products

description: Personalization of information retrieval tailors search towards individual users to meet their particular information needs by taking into account information about users and their contexts, often through implicit sources of evidence such as user behaviors and contextual factors. The current study looks particularly at users’ dwelling behavior, measured by the time that they spend on documents; and several contextual factors: the stage of users’ work tasks, task type, users’ knowledge of task topics, to explore whether or not taking account of task stage, task type, and topic knowledge could help predict document usefulness from the time that users spend on the documents. This study also investigates whether or not expanding queries with important terms extracted from task products and useful pages improves search performance. To these ends, a controlled lab experiment was conducted with 24 student participants, each coming three times in a two-week period to work on three sub-tasks in a general work task. Data were collected by logging software that recorded user-system interaction and questionnaires that elicited users’ background information and perceptions on a number of aspects. Observations in the study and examinations of the data found that the time users spent on documents could have three different types: total display time, total dwell time, and decision time, which had different roles in working as a reliable indicator of document usefulness. Task stage was found to help interpret certain types of time as reliable indicators of document usefulness in certain task types, so was topic knowledge, and the latter played a more significant role when both were available. This study contributes to a better understanding of how information seeking behaviors, specifically, time that users spend on documents, can be used as implicit evidence of document usefulness, as well as how contextual factors of task stage, topic knowledge, and task type can help interpret time as an indicator of usefulness. These findings have theoretical and practical implications for using behaviors and contextual factors in the development of personalization systems. Future studies are suggested on making use of these findings as well as research on related issues.
