Glauconycteris humeralis

description: Glauconycteris humeralis J.A. Allen, 1917
Fig. 39 C–D
* Glauconycteris humeralis J.A. Allen, 1917: 448.
Glauconycteris humeralis was considered to be a valid species by Hayman et al. (1966: 49), but some later authors (e.g., Koopman 1971; Eger & Schlitter 2001; Monadjem et al. 2010b) considered it to be a subspecies of G. beatrix. Heller et al. (1994: 6) state that humeralis could merely represent the spotted variety of beatrix, if it wasn’t for the different form of the baculum in the two species, as was already illustrated by Hill & Harrison (1987: Fig. 19).
Hayman et al. (1966: 49, map 63) mention six specimens from three localities, of which the BMNH specimen from Irangi could not be traced. However, the species has been confirmed from that locality by material in the collection of the SMF. All of these localities were in the northeastern part of the DRC. Other specimens were collected near Epulu (Ituri Province, northeastern DRC) and Yalosemba (Mongala, northwestern DRC) and in Kananga (Kasaï-Central Province, southern DRC). The latter specimen was apparently overlooked by Happold (2013 ad: 571), as she only plotted the northern specimens. When the Kananga specimen is included, the distribution of the species covers the Congolese rain forest from eastern Cameroon over northern Congo and reaching into the rainforestsavanna mosaic in Uganda and western Kenya (see also Happold 2013 ad: 571).

Glauconycteris variegata

Fig. 40 C–D
Scotophilus variegatus Tomes,1861: 31, 36.
* Glauconycteris variegata papilio (Thomas, 1905): 77.
Although most recent authors consider papilio to be a synonym of G. variegata (e.g., Simmons 2005) or even G. v. variegata (e.g., Lanza et al. 2015), Monadjem et al. (2010b: 417) – referring to a statement made by Hayman (1963: 107) on the possible specific status of papilio – suggest that a detailed study of this species group is necessary to resolve this matter.
For the DRC, Hayman et al. (1966: 50, map 66) indicate that G. variegata primarily occurs in the northeastern part of the country (Haut-Uélé and Nord-Kivu Provinces) and in the southeast (Haut- Lomami and Haut-Katanga Provinces). From the western part of the country, they report it from Boma (Kongo Central Province) and Kwamouth (Mai-Ndombe Province). The second record they mapped from Kongo Central Province could not be traced, but they also did not map Mbala in Tanganyika Province. We could only add two additional localities: one on the northwestern bank of Lake Tanganyika (Sud-Kivu Province) and at Boteka (Equateur Province). The map given by Happold (2013 af: 577) shows a very patchy distribution area stretching from Senegal to Somalia and southwards to northeastern RSA. Based on specimen data from ACR (2016: 1230) and climatic data, our distribution map fills in most of the gaps between the patches.

description: We investigate the prospects of probing the doubly-charged scalars of the minimal Left-Right Symmetric model (MLRSM) at a muon collider. We assess its capability by studying the production of doubly-charged scalars and their subsequent decay into four charged lepton final states containing the same-charge lepton pairs. We find that the channels with same-charge electron and muon pairs, i.e., ($e^{\pm}e^{\pm}μ^{\mp}μ^{\mp}$ and its charge conjugated pairs), have the largest sensitivity due to the lowest Standard Model background. Besides, we show that the possibility of using fully polarized initial muon beams in the muon collider can enhance the detection sensitivity of doubly-charged scalars of the MLRSM. Furthermore, we show that one can put exclusion limits on the magnitudes of triplet Yukawa couplings that are directly related to the neutrino sector of the MLRSM for the mass range $1.1-5$ TeV of the doubly-charged scalars.

description: Some factors in the salting-out extraction (SOE) method play a major role. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction effects of the phase forming components and consequently select the best conditions to achieve a highly efficient recovery of phenolic compounds from walnut green husks (Juglans regia L.) using mixtures of ethanol and aqueous ammonium sulfate solutions. According to the results that were analyzed by response surface methodology, the optimal extraction conditions were obtained at ethanol: salt: water ratio of 34.8: 15.1: 54.4 (w/w) at a pH of 6–6.5 and 25 °C. At the optimal conditions, the overall phenolic and flavonoid content, and antioxidant activity were significantly higher than obtained by the conventional method. In addition, at a higher scale (i.e., 5 kg), similar results were obtained. Thus, it can be concluded that SOE has the potential to be scaled up for the simultaneous separation and purification of compounds from plant biomass. This paper is addressing extraction techniques, measurement, and characterization of new natural phenolic compounds from an agricultural by-product and valorization of waste.

Glauconycteris poensis

description: Glauconycteris poensis (Gray, 1842)
Fig. 39 E–F
Kerivoula poensis Gray, 1842: 258. In the DRC, G. poensis was collected at four localities in the northern half of the country, two in the northwestern part that were already reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 49, map 64), and two from the northeastern part. The one from Irangi (Nord-Kivu Province) is a relatively recent one, but the one from Faradje (Haut-Uélé) was already collected by Lang and Chapin. Allen (1917) doesn’t report any G. poensis specimens in their collection, and the only Glauconycteris from Faradje that he mentions is G. papilio (= G. variegata). The original entry in the AMNH catalog mentions 15 G. papilio specimens from Niangara, Faradje and Aba, which were changed into Chalinolobus variegata (49056– 9), Glauconycteris variegata variegata (49060–4), Chalinolobus (Glauconycteris) variegata papilio (49065) and Glauconycteris variegata variegata (49066–70). The online catalog, however, mentions the entire series, with the exception of 49066, as Glauconycteris variegata variegata. That specimen is identified as G. poensis. Happold (2013 ae: 575) overlooked this record when drawing the map for this species. Her map indicates that G. poensis is primarily a West African species, with some outliers in the DRC. There is also a doubtful record from Marangu (Tanzania) of which J. Kingdon (in Grimshaw et al. 1995) suggests that it was misidentified, and most likely belongs to G. variegata. The online catalog still mentions the underlying specimens (219772–4) as G. poensis. The SDM map indicates that this locality is situated far to the east, but it is not impossible that poensis could occur over there.

description: We present a method for identifying $H\rightarrow WW^* \rightarrow \ell νj j$ in the presence of large Standard Model backgrounds and illustrate how this decay mode may be applied to the study of Bell-type Inequalities. Our findings reveal the feasibility of complete reconstruction of such Higgs decays and the efficacy of our suggested combination of selection criteria in effectively mitigating the otherwise overwhelming backgrounds. Our approach is based on a combination of bottom and charm tagging, alongside innovative reconstruction techniques. A realistic simulation based on publicly available object identification, reconstruction, and tagging efficiencies from the ATLAS experiment is used to explore the potential sensitivity to violations of the Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality in existing and expected future data collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is found that, the proposed method provides a powerful means of distinguishing the Higgs decay mode from the background, allowing us to achieve an expectation of approximately 3$σ$ significance in detecting violations of these inequalities with 300 $fb^{-1}$ of data, soon-to-be collected by LHC.

description: Identification of a single genetic target for microbial strain improvement is difficult due to the complexity of the genetic regulatory network. Hence, a more practical approach is to identify bottlenecks in the regulatory networks that control critical metabolic pathways. The present work focuses on enhancing cellular physiology by increasing the metabolic flux through the central carbon metabolic pathway. Global regulator cra (catabolite repressor activator), a DNA-binding transcriptional dual regulator was selected for the study as it controls the expression of a large number of operons that modulate central carbon metabolism. To upregulate the activity of central carbon metabolism, the cra gene was co-expressed using a plasmid-based system. Co-expression of cra led to a 17% increase in the production of model recombinant protein L-Asparaginase-II. A pulse addition of 0.36% of glycerol every two hours post-induction, further increased the production of L-Asparaginase-II by 35% as compared to the control strain expressing only recombinant protein. This work exemplifies that upregulating the activity of central carbon metabolism by tuning the expression of regulatory genes like cra can relieve the host from cellular stress and thereby promote the growth as well as expression of recombinant hosts.

description: The biological conversion of agro-waste biomass into value-added metabolites is one of the trendy biotechnological research areas in recent times. One of the major drawbacks of the bioprocess is the saccharification potential of the amylolytic enzyme that releases reducing sugar from complex biomass to serve as substrate for fermentation. The present study reports the production of a novel tripartite raw starch-digesting amylase (RSDA) by an indigenous Priestia flexa strain with α-, β-, and gluco-amylolytic activities and its potential for bioethanol production. Response surface statistics was employed to develop a suitable medium for improved production of the tripartite enzyme by submerged fermentation. The bioprocess selected raw starch (4.36%) Ca2+(2.71 g/L) and Zn2+ (0.0177 g/L) as significant variables which demonstrated a total RSDA activity of 7208.23 U/mL in a 5-L batch bioreactor. SDS/Native-PAGE determined the molecular weights of the 27-fold purified product as 25.2 kDa, 57.3 kDa, and 90.1 kDa for α-, β-, and gluco-amylases, respectively. Optimum temperature and pH for enzyme activity were respectively broad at 30–70 °C and 4–11. The enzyme mixture demonstrated digestibility above 90% against a variety of raw starches and simultaneous fermentation of digestate with Saccharomyces cerevisiae generated 71.69 g/L of bioethanol within 24 h suggesting great potential for bioethanologenesis.

description: Hydroponics and aeroponics are advanced techniques for cultivating plants under controlled conditions without soil in polyhouses to address soil-related problems. An experiment was designed to evaluate the potentiality of soilless methods over conventional soil-based methods for hybrid seed production of tomatoes. For initial standardization of nutrient solution and pH of the media, six different nutrient solutions viz., Hoagland’s, CPRI, Chikkaballapur, Ethiopia, USDA and Komosa nutrient solutions, were tested, and pH was standardized. The crop performance was superior in Hoagland’s nutrient solution with a pH range of 5.5–6.4. The experiment comprised three methods of production, two parental lines (TAG 1 F and TAG 2 F), and two seed treatments (S1: Control and S2: Thiram @ 2 g kg-1 + chlorpyrifos @3 g kg-1) for hybrid seed production of tomato. A hundred percent survival rate was recorded in a soilless medium, whereas seed treatment increased the percent survival rate by 9% under the conventional system. Soiless method performed better than the conventional method. Aeroponics recorded a higher plant relative growth rate (1.17), fruit weight (124.54 g), total biomass (106.44 g), and seed index (3.95 g). Hydroponics produced a higher number of seeds fruit 1 (98.42), SVI-II (294), and 6% higher protein than the conventional method. The soilless method may open up a new approach for high-quality and year-round healthy hybrid tomato seed production under protected cultivation.

“ Hypsugo eisentrauti ” was collected at two localities in the DRC: Lukolela (Mai-Ndombe Province) and Kabobo Forest (Sud-Kivu Province) and in one locality in Rwanda: Nyungwe Forest Reserve. However, as already indicated by Van Cakenberghe & Happold (2013b: 622), the specimens from Lukolela do not agree with the type specimens of eisentrauti from Cameroon. And this is also the case for the animal from Rwanda. Huhndorf & Kaleme (2008: 26) and Kerbis Peterhans et al. (2013: 189) assigned the Kabobo Forest specimen to “ H. cf. eisentrauti ”. Tentatively, we assign this name to all of the DRC and Rwandan specimens.

As indicated by Fahr (2013q: 617) crassulus has been moved into various (sub)genera or “collective groups” over the past few years: Pipistrellus, P. (Vansonia), “ Attalepharca ”, Hypsugo and Nycticeinops. The currently most accepted view is that it belongs to the genus Hypsugo.
Hayman et al. (1966: 52, map 72) reported it from two localities: Bokuma (Equateur Province) and Mulolo-Kisanga (Maniema Province), and more recently it was also found at Irangi (Sud-Kivu Province). The distribution map provided by Fahr (2013q: 618) only shows a very restricted red area covering the eastern parts of the Kivu Provinces reaching towards Maniema Province. Furthermore, there are single records from Guinea, in West Africa, over Côte d’Ivoire, southern Cameroon, northwestern DRC (the Bokuma record), northern Angola, southern South Sudan, southern Uganda and southwestern Kenya. Based on climatic data, the SDM map covers this area, but also suggests it might occur in Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, southern Congo, and southwestern and southeastern DRC.

description: The fracture mechanics-based IBESS approach is applied to the determination of FAT classes of butt welds with crack initiation along the weld toe. The aim is an investigation of the effect of the geometrical parameters toe radius, flank angle, reinforcement and secondary notches such as roughness or undercuts. The influence of these parameters is discussed both individually and in combination; however, excluding statistical distributions of them and the material data. The results, when compared with conventional FAT classes for butt welds, are encouraging with respect to a potential contribution of IBESS to the discussion of more advanced quality criteria for welds. To that purpose, demands for further research are proposed.

description: The rice-wheat cropping system is the largest cereal-based agricultural production system in India. It provides considerable significance to national food, nutrition, and livelihood security. However, the extensive use of resources under rice-wheat system has resulted in significant issues, including a decline in groundwater levels, indiscriminate use of fertilizers, the burning of rice residues, increased emissions of greenhouse gases, and the development of herbicide-resistant weeds which led to stagnant crop productivity and reduced profitability. This study was conducted at the research farm of ICAR-IIWBR, Karnal, India, to evaluate the combined effects of conventional and nano urea on productivity, profitability, and efficient nitrogen management strategy in wheat under rice-wheat system. The study evaluated eight treatment combinations of nitrogen application through conventionally applied urea (46% N) and foliar applied nano urea (4% N). The results of the study showed that the application of 150 kg N/ha in three equal splits as basal and just before 1st and 2nd irrigation, either alone (T2) or along with a spray of nano urea (T5), resulted in the highest grain yield and profitability. Top dressing of urea just before irrigation with a dose of nitrogen 150 kg/ha applied in three equal splits (T2) resulted in 420 kg/ha additional grain yield over top dressing at 7-10 days after irrigation with same dose (T3). Treatment T5 recorded the highest gross and net returns with 2492.5 and 1804.0 US $/ha. The study’s findings suggest that efficient nitrogen management is essential for sustainable wheat production in India. The application of 150 kg N/ha in three equal splits, either alone or along with a spray of nano urea, is a promising strategy for improving wheat productivity and profitability in India.

description: In 2019 the EU Commission launched the ambitious so-called European Green Deal, a set of proposals aimed to revise and update EU legislation and to put in place new initiatives with the goal to ensure that EU policies are in line with climate and SDGs goals. To reach the targets set out by the EU institutions, a crucial role is attributed to private investments, which can mobilize the necessary capital to make feasible the green transition. In this regard, trade agreements are an important driver for sustainable growth both in the EU and in partner countries insofar as they promote private investments in strategic sectors while at the same time they contribute to sustainable development. While the EU Commission has already started to insert trade and sustainable development (TSD) chapters in its trade agreements, another possible path has been identified in the conclusion of new-generation bilateral investment agreements. This Insight examines the recently adopted EU-Angola Sustainable Investment Facilitation Agreement (EU-Angola SIFA) as the first of this new generation of investment agreements. Specifically, this Insight points out that, while the agreement is not yet in force and it will take several years to gauge whether it successfully serves as a stimulus to attract sustainable investments, it can already be considered a further attempt to balance the necessity to attract private capitals indispensable for the green transition with the preservation of States’ regulatory powers.

description: Cultivation of rice is severely jeopardized by the intangible behavior of micronutrients under variable moisture and organics leading to its inconsistent availability. The present study has been conducted to determine the effect of organic amendments and moisture regimes on cationic micronutrients like zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn). Controlled situation incubation study using thrice replicated factorial randomized design with (3 organic amendments × 2 moisture regimes × 2 incubation periods) levels was conducted. Continuous submergence (CS), 50 g kg−1 rice straw and 150 days of incubation (DOI) restored higher soluble and Exchangeable (SE) manganese and iron; while SE-Cu was facilitated under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) condition. SE-Zn was found higher under AWD, no organic administration and 60 DOI. Again AWD, 50 g kg−1 rice straw and 60 DOI recovered higher Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn in organically bound fractions. The adoption of CS, 50 g kg−1 rice straw and 150 DOI recovered higher Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn in manganese and amorphous iron oxide bound fractions; while AWD, no rice straw administration and 60 DOI recovered higher Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn in crystalline iron oxide bound fractions. Substantial change in all the studies fraction resulted into alteration in plant availability of Mn, Cu, Fe and Zn. Under the scenario of global increasing water demands, AWD apart from saving 30-40% moisture improves availability of Cu and Zn which is further accentuated by organic matter, sustaining soil productivity and ensuring food security.

description: Even though extremes seem to occur more often in recent times, they are by definition rare events. This poses challenges on the modeling and prediction of these processes, as we have only few samples. This class is meant as a gentle introduction into extreme value theory in the uniand multivariate case. Different examples and approaches to fit models to heavy tailed distributions were shown and extensions shown to flexibly fit multivariate distributions. Models were discussed, and their implications in a spatial and spatio-temporal context. The second part of the class was devoted to a R-based hands-on session to apply the taught approaches to own data sets or demo data.

Fig. 41 E–F
* Pipistrellus musciculus Thomas, 1913: 316.
Similar to H. crassulus, H. musciculus has been assigned to various supra-specific units: Pipistrellus, P. (Hypsugo), “ Attalepharca ” and Hypsugo (see Van Cakenberghe & Happold 2013e: 637). Here, we follow Simmons (2005: 491) in assigning it to the genus Hypsugo.
Hayman et al. (1966: map 74) have two localities plotted on their map: Bokuma in Equateur Province and Avakubi in Tshopo Province. For the latter, however, they refer (p. 53) to Koopman (1965: 13) who indicated that this specimen agreed better with the original description of P. nanulus than with that of P. musciculus. In the Paris museum, there is one other DRC specimen (from Bata, Kwilu Province) that had been identified as musciculus.
Hypsugo musciculus is primarily a West African species occurring from Sierra Leone in the west to Cameroon and Gabon in the east, with a few records extending into the DRC.

Laephotis angolensis Monard, 1935: 45.
* Laephotis wintoni angolensis (Monard, 1935).
At the time Hayman et al. (1966) was written, the genus Laephotis was considered to be monotypic (Hill 1974: 1), with the nominate subspecies restricted to Kenya and L. w. angolensis occurring in Angola, Zambia, Botswana and the southern part of the DRC. However, based on cranial characteristics, Peterson (1971a: 888) found the two to be specifically different.
Laephotis angolensis was reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 50, map 67) with 13 specimens from two localities in Haut-Katanga, and no further localities have been added since. Of these 11 were found to represent L. botswanae (Kearney & Seamark 2005: 73). Extralimitally, the species is further known from Angola, Zimbabwe and Zambia.

Although Fahr (2013o: 586) considers thomasi to be a subspecies of M. moloneyi, we follow Cotterill (2001b: 215), who proposed that the two are distinct evolutionary species, a view that was followed by Monadjem et al. (2010a: 390, 2010b: 444). The distribution map presented by Monadjem et al. (2010b: 444) indicates that M. thomasi occurs in the northern part of southern Africa, from Angola over southern DRC, Zambia and Zimbabwe to western and northern Mozambique. The DRC specimen from Elisabethville (= Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga Province) reported here fits within this range.

The international legal nature of the restrictive measures against Venezuela: retorsions or countermeasures? - IV. Conclusion
description: In case T-65/18 RENV Venezuela v Council the General Court was confronted with the question of the legality under international law of the EU’s restrictive measures against Venezuela. The judgment is of particular importance as it feeds into the burgeoning discussion regarding the juridical nature, and lawfulness, of EU restrictive measures against third States under international law. This Insight summarizes the judgment and analyses the Court’s line of argumentation and reasoning. It shows that the General Court here proclaimed an autonomous external sanctioning power stemming from the EU’s values and objectives governing the Union’s external action. The Insight argues that the General Court’s approach leaves much to be desired in terms of reasoning on the basis of international law. The Insight argues that the restrictive measures against Venezuela could be considered lawful on the basis of the international legal regime governing countermeasures in response to violations of erga omnes obligations. By eschewing engagement with the broader international legal framework, the General Court here missed an opportunity to make a substantive contribution to the (evolving) law of collective countermeasures.

description: This study delves into the aerodynamic behavior of a highly flexible NACA 0012 aerofoil, drawing inspiration from avian feathers to handle a gust. We first examined unsteady flow on a rigid wing both experimentally and numerically and then explored the implications of introducing wing flexibility purely numerically. Our findings underscore the potential of composite materials in alleviating the oscillating aerodynamic forces on a wing under a streamwise gust. This behavior is attributed to its capacity to destabilize the laminar separation bubble, fostering a more stable turbulent boundary layer. While direct avian evidence remains limited, it is postulated that in nature, such mechanisms could mitigate undesired wing flapping, optimizing energy consumption in perturbed environments.

description: A series of comb polymers poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA)-co-methacrylic acid (MAA)-co-methoxy polyethylene glycol methacrylate (MPEGMA)) (poly(DMAEMA-MAA-MPEGMA, DMM) were synthesized and used as N-methyl-2-pyrolidinone (NMP)-based lithium iron phosphate (LFP) suspension dispersants. The effects of the grafting density of the carboxyl group as the anchoring group and the chain length of the side chain of PEG, which plays the role of spatial site resistance, on the rheological properties and suspension stability of the slurry were systematically investigated. By investigating the adsorption amount and thickness of DMM on the LFP surface, combined with calculations based on the scalar law and Flory theory, the molecular structure of the comb polymer dispersant was revealed to influence the adsorption and dispersion performance. The dispersion of LiFePO4 was due to the synergistic effects of adsorption and steric hindrance effect, which resulted that dispersants with medium carboxyl density and PEG side chain length can improve the dispersion performance and stability.

description: Laephotis botswanae Setzer, 1971

Laephotis botswanae Setzer, 1971: 260. This species was reported from two localities near Lubumbashi (Haut-Katanga Province) in the extreme southeastern part of the DRC. The distribution map provided by Kearney (2013a: 580) indicates that the species occurs in a number of scattered areas in southern Africa: southeastern DRC and northwestern Zambia, central and southern Zimbabwe reaching into northern RSA, northwestern Botswana and northeastern Namibia, southern Malawi, and in some individual localities in Angola, southeastern RSA and northern Malawi. Kearney (2013a: 580), however, also pointed out that the relationship between angolensis and botswanae is obscure, because of the scarcity of the former, but she also refers to Setzer (1971: 262), who indicated that the two species might possibly occur sympatrically.

Vesperugo (Vesperus) Moloneyi Thomas, 1891: 528.
* Mimetillus moloneyi (Thomas, 1891).
Hayman et al. (1966: 50, map 68) mention this species from a number of localities in the northwestern part of the DRC (Bas- and Haut-Uélé, Ituri, Tshopo Provinces), but also from the southwestern Landana (“Lower Congo”). This last locality, however, is in Cabinda (Angola). The southern occurrence of M. moloneyi in the DRC is confirmed by records from Luluabourg (= Kananga) in Central Kasaï Province and Mosenge in Kwilu Province. These records were not included by Fahr (2013o: 587), who, therefore, plotted only a narrow band in the northern part of the DRC and individual localities in the border area between DRC, Uganda and Rwanda in the east, the border between the DRC and Zambia in the south and in Cabinda and the mouth of the Congo River in the west. He also stated that it is conspicuously absent from most of the central Congo Basin. Our additional records, however, suggest that it might be present in the fringes of the rain forest and other forest types and savannas reaching to the Kenyan and Tanzanian coast in the east and Sierra Leone and Guinea in the west.
