description: Genus Tetraclitella Hiro 1939
Diagnosis: Small, shell depressed, wall comprising carina, rostrum and paired latera, parietes permeated by numerous longitudinal pores, articular margins lacking teeth, radii broad with horizontal summits, permeated by horizontal pores; orifice rhombohedral; scutum transversely elongated without depressor muscle crests; tergum short, with short broad spur; base membranous or thinly calcareous.
Distribution and age: Miocene to Recent, hyperbiotic, littoral. Indo-west Pacific.
Type: Tetraclita purpurascens (Wood, 1815), in Hiro 1939: 273.
Remarks: With recognition of these new species and subspecies, there are 13 taxa within this genus (Table 1), although very few of these have a fossil record. This reflects the relatively high-energy environment that Tetraclitella typically inhabits.
Specimens of the earliest Tetraclitella have been described from the Miocene of both northern New Zealand and Victoria, Australia (Buckeridge, 1983). At that time, there were no complete shells available for study, and as Tetraclitella purpurascens (Wood, 1815) was considered to be a trans-Tasman species, all the available material was combined and described as Tetraclitella sp. cf. T. purpurascens (Wood, 1815). This cautious decision now requires re-evaluation following the revision of a number of shallow water barnacles from the region by Foster and Anderson (1986), who showed that Tetraclitella purpurascens (Wood, 1815) was confined to southern Australia.

description: Exosomes (Exo) are important mediators of inter-cellular communications; however, no effective method is available for isolating, thus characterizing, cellular-specific exosomes in vivo. Since CD63 is a reliable marker for exosomes, we have developed a tagging strategy, term “CD63-Snorkel (CD63-SNKL)”, in which CD63 at its intracellular C-terminus was fused to a fragment of PDGFRB that contains the transmembrane domaintethered to multiple epitope tags (HA, His, and FLAG) displayed in tandem on surface. We found that the CD63-SNKL protein has similar subcellular localizations as endogenous CD63 and can be effectively sorted into Exo. Furthermore, Exo secreted from CD63-SNKL–transduced cells can be effectively captured on anti-HA magnetic beads and eluted with HA peptides. Thus, CD63-SNKL may be engineered for isolating and tracking endogenous tissue-specific Exo in vivo.

Diagnosis: Tetraclitella with low to moderately high conic shell, paries externally with narrow ridges separated by approximately their own width; exterior rugose when eroded, with secondarily-filled pores; base membranous; radii with internal tubes parallel to the base of shell, and growth lines parallel to articular margin; radii thick and elevated over adjacent parietal surface; scutum elongate.
Distribution: Australia – temperate waters, from below 26°S. See Foster and Anderson (1986: 65) for a full list of supposed occurrences outside this region.
Comments: Recognition of a new subspecies (below), on the basis of morphology and temporal separation, is a cautious move that nonetheless provides a useful mechanism to help envisage the evolution of the Tetraclitella group in the region.

description: Tetraclitella purpurascens miocenica subsp. nov
1983:? Tetraclitella sp. cf. T. purpurascens (Wood, 1815): Buckeridge, 77–78, Plate 5 figures c, d.
Diagnosis: Tetraclitella having paries externally with narrow longitudinal ridges separated by more than their own width; radii thick, broad, with strong ridges sub-parallel to base of shell; radii not elevated over adjacent parietal surface; opercula unknown.
Distribution: Late Miocene to early Pliocene, Victoria, Australia.
Holotype: P47193, a latus (figured in Buckeridge 1983: plate 5 figures c, d), from the late Miocene- Pliocene Moorabool Viaduct Formation (see Holdgate et al. 2002; Birch, 2003).
Material: Moorabool Viaduct Formation (previously Moorabool Viaduct Sands): P47193, a latus, length 5.9 mm; from Moorabool, Victoria. Age: Late Miocene-Pliocene (Cheltenhamian-Kalimnan), Grangeburn Formation: P47189, a latus, from Forsyths, Victoria. Age: Early Pliocene (Kalimnan). All specimens are held in the type collection of the Museum of Victoria, Melbourne.
Description (based upon latera only): Shell small, with medium-low profile; orifice large, probably rhomboidal; exterior of latus with up to six narrow, well-spaced longitudinal ridges separated by slightly more than their own widths, ridges crossed by fine, sinusoidal transverse growth lines; radii broad with horizontal summits, growth ridges strong, parallel to base of shell and crossed by striae parallel to articular margin; radii thick, relatively flat, slightly depressed with respect to paries; sheath weak, extending internally for slightly more than half height of paries; longitudinal pores rounded in section, with a commensurate thickening of pore walls; base apparently membranous; carina, rostrum and opercula unknown.
Comparison with other species: Tetraclitella purpurascens miocenica subsp. nov. is distinguished from Tetraclitella purpurascens purpurascens by the more widely spaced external ribbing, the weakly depressed radii, a higher conic shell, and the rounded parietal pores with relatively thickened pore walls. This taxon differs from Tetraclitella nodiscuta sp. nov. by its less rugose external ribbing, and the rounded rather than polyhedral longitudinal pores. It has a smaller, more delicate shell, and lacks the inner row of wide parietal pores that occur in Tetraclitella judiciae sp. nov.
Remarks: No further material has been recovered since this taxon was described and figured in Buckeridge, 1983.
Etymology: Chronologic, after the Miocene epoch from which the oldest specimens were found.

Body black, all appendages pale testaceous. Head and pronotum glossy, devoid of microsculpture; elytra shiny, with very faint microsculpture; abdominal tergites entirely microsculptate except on posterior margins of first four segments. Pubescence long, pale, semi-erect or decumbent, fairly dense on abdomen. Habitus: Fig. 4h.
Head moderately transverse; eyes large and protruberent; carina of post-ocular border not evident, but associated groove broad and deep, punctate; disc coarsely and irregularly punctate, the interstices mostly wider than diameter of punctures. Pronotum strongly elongate, behind anterior angles scarcely wider than head, the sides retracted to narrow base; lateral margins entirely bordered; puncturation of disc forming a pair of discal series of seven punctures each, the space between them smooth, a little raised and impunctate in posterior half, 6-7 scattered lateral punctures, and smaller punctures near anterior and along lateral margins. Micropterous, humeral angles completely obsolete; surface depressed, slightly concave in lateral view; puncturation finer than that of pronotal disc, irregular. Keels and depressions of anterior margins of abdominal tergites short and not very prominent; punctures of tergites disposed randomly, the punctures on anterior segments almost as coarse as those of elytra, sparser and finer on posterior segments.
Male: abdominal sternite VII unmodified; sternite VIII: Fig. 4s8, with a moderately large apico-median emargination; aedoeagus not seen (dissected by LAST, but detached from mounting card and lost).
Female: abdominal sternite IX: Fig. 4vp.
This species is similar in colour, puncturation and general appearance to O. endomanensis nov.sp. and to two other undescribed species from Irian Jaya in the SMNS, but is larger than any of those.

Signoretia greeni Distant 1908: 223, fig. 147.
Material examined. SRI LANKA: Lectotype ♀ (here designated), Ceylon, Maskeliya, Green (BMNH). Remarks. Distant described this species from an unspecified number of specimens collected from “Ceylon, Maskeliya”.
Among the species of Signoretia occurring on the Indian subcontinent, this species can be easily recognised by its chocolate brown dorsum with median ochraceous stripe on the head and thorax and also by the angular projection on the clypellus in profile (Fig. 68). S. sumatrana is also a chocolate brown coloured species but differs from S. greeni in lacking the median pale stripe on head and pronotum.

Figure 2 A,B
1983:? Tetraclitella sp. cf. T. purpurascens (Wood, 1815): Buckeridge, 77–78.
Diagnosis: Tetraclitella of low conic form; radii relatively narrow; small to medium diameter longitudinal pores in paries; parietes externally with strong apico-basal ribbing beaded by transverse growth lines.
Distribution and age: Northern New Zealand. Early Miocene.
Holotype: A177, a latus from Pinehill Road, Waiotemarama Valley, Northland, New Zealand (Figure 2).
Material: Otaua Mudstone: A177, a latus (holotype), length (exterior): 6.0mm, width (basal): 5.9mm; AU 5737: a further latus, from Pinehill Road, Waiotemarama Valley, Northland, New Zealand. Age: Early Miocene (New Zealand Stratigraphic Stage: Waitakian-Otaian). (NZ Fossil Record file number (metric) O 06/ f9642. NZMS 1:50,000 Grid Reference O 06/510285), collected by L. Wakefield on 31 December 1972.
Cape Rodney Formation: AU 10129, a single latus, (Waitakian-Otaian Age) Matheson’s Bay, North Auckland (NZ Fossil Record File number R09/f9511), collected by P. F. Ballance. All specimens are held in the type collection of the Geology Department, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Description (based upon latera only): Shell small, moderately depressed conic, external ribbing pronounced, sinusoidal and bifurcating, beaded by transverse growth lines; parietes with numerous longitudinal tubes that are polyhedral in section, and which increase in diameter towards the sutural margins; radii relatively narrow, with small diameter interseptal tubes. Sheath weakly developed, but extending to almost half the length of paries in a lateral plate; base and opercula unknown.
Comments: No further material has been recovered since Buckeridge (1983). The redesignation of the material described as? Tetraclitella sp. cf. T. purpurascens (Wood, 1815) in Buckeridge (loc. cit.) follows a revision of shallow water Australasian sessile barnacles by Foster and Anderson (1986), wherein Tetraclitella purpurascens (Wood, 1815), previously thought to have been found on both sides of the Tasman Sea, was shown to be restricted to Australia. The New Zealand taxon Tetraclitella depressa Foster and Anderson, 1986, to which this form is most closely related, may be readily distinguished by its shell profile: T. depressa is very flat, has larger diameter parietal pores and less pronounced external longitudinal ribbing.
Etymology: Morphological, in allusion to the strong, nodose exterior ribbing on the paries (Latin: nodus = a knot; costa = ribs).

The Strategic Imperative of Alumni Services in Higher Education
Creators: name: Jojoe Annan, Ernest Edu Azutiga, Miriam Awurama Ohenewaa Annan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the impact of support services on alumni engagement and loyalty at the University of Education Winneba (UEW), with a particular focus on alumni's awareness, utilisation, satisfaction, and the challenges they face in accessing these services. Leveraging a quantitative research design, the study surveyed approximately 300 UEW alumni, revealing critical insights into the dynamics of alumni relations within higher education. The Study Findings indicate that while a majority of alumni are aware of support services, a smaller portion utilise them, with satisfaction levels varying significantly. Key challengesidentified include inadequate communication and prolonged processing times, which are detrimental to fostering a robust alumni network. The study further explores the importance of specific support services, such as career counselling and transcript issuance, in enhancing alumni's career development and educational pursuits. The potential of support services in increasing alumni engagement is acknowledged, alongside a set of recommendations aimed at improving communication channels, streamlining service processes, and enhancing career support services. This research contributes to the broader discourse on higher education administration and alumni relations, offering actionable insights for institutions seeking to strengthen their alumni engagement efforts.
