Quark-Lepton Complementarity Predictions for $θ_{23}^{pmns}$ and CP Violation

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In the light of recent experimental results on $θ_{13}^{pmns}$, we re-investigate the complementarity between the quark and lepton mixing matrices and obtain predictions for most unsettled neutrino mixing parameters like $θ_{23}^{pmns}$ and CP violating phase invariants $J$, $S_1$ and $S_2$. This paper is motivated by our previous work where in a QLC model we predicted the value for $θ_{13}^{pmns}=(9{^{+1}_{-2}})^\circ$, which was found to be in strong agreement with the experimental results. In the QLC model the non-trivial correlation between CKM and PMNS mixing matrices is given by a correlation matrix ($V_{c}$). We do numerical simulation and estimate the texture of the $V_{c}$ and in our findings we get a small deviation from the Tri-Bi-Maximal (TBM) texture and a large from the Bi-Maximal one, which is consistent with the work already reported in literature. In the further investigation we obtain quite constrained limits for $sin^2{θ_{23}^{pmns}}= 0.4235_{-0.0043}^{+0.0032}$ that is narrower to the existing ones. We also obtain the constrained limits for the three CP violating phase invariants $J$, $S_1$ and $S_2$: as $J < 0.0315$, $S_{1} <0.12$ and $S_{2} <0.08$, respectively.

Design of a Hazard Communication Program For The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
Creators: name: Hanley, Kevin W.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: On November 25, 1983, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration promulgated the "Hazard Communication Regulation" (29 CFR 1910.1200). The state of North Carolina amended this legislation on June 27, 1985 [North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Hazard Communication; 13 NCAC 7C.0101(a)(99)]. These regulations address the issue of communicating chemical hazards to employees who are potentially exposed to hazardous substances in the workplace. They accomplish the communication in five separate but related tasks. These are the determination of hazards, the development of Material Safety Data Sheets, the implementation of container labeling, the training of employees, and the writing of a Hazard Communication Program. North Carolina has also passed the "Hazardous Chemical Right To Know Act" on July 17, 1985 (Article 18, Chapter 95, North Carolina General Statutes 95-173 et seq.). This legislation pertains to the communication of chemical hazards to the Fire Marshall and other Public Safety Officials as well as the North Carolina community at large. A compliance strategy for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a federal research laboratory, is presented.

description: Motivated by recent experimental efforts, we study a black hole analog induced by the propagation of a strong laser pulse in a nonlinear dielectric medium. Based on the Hopfield model (one pair of Sellmeier coefficients), we perform an analytic and fully relativistic microscopic derivation of the analog of Hawking radiation in this setup. The Hawking temperature is determined by the analog of the surface gravity (as expected), but we also find a frequency-dependent gray-body factor (i.e., a nonthermal spectrum at infinity) due to the breaking of conformal invariance in this setup.

A Method for Estimating Annual Dose Equivalent to the Lung under Varying Radon Progeny Conditions
Creators: name: Pope, Jill Smith
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1989

description: The purpose of this project is to present a simple and specific method to assess the radon progeny hazards in the home and to apply this method. Equations presently are available to calculate lung dose for adults using a typical particle size distribution. Using these equations for children results in an underestimation of lung dose. In order to determine the lung dose for any age individual and particle size distribution, this research developed equations using a lung model by D. Crawford-Brown. These equations may be used to estimate annual lung dose from information concerning the radon progeny concentration, unattached fraction, and aerosol size distribution. Measurements of radon and radon progeny were performed in two upstate New York homes which were identified as having potentially elevated radon concentrations. Sampling procedures for unattached fractions developed by A. George and a computer program to determine working levels from gross alpha counts on air filters were applied to obtain the necessary parameters for the lung dose calculations. Estimates of lung dose equivalent to the subsegmental bronchioles for the two families were calculated from these specific measurements, with the assumption of a typical particle size distribution. Therefore, a method both for sampling radon progeny and for calculating lung dose to various groups under differing particle size distributions and unattached fractions is presented.

description: Let $U=(U_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ be a centered Gaussian stationary sequence satisfying some minor regularity condition. We study the asymptotic behavior of its weighted $\ell_2$-norm small deviation probabilities. It is shown that \[ \ln \mathbb{P}\left( \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z}} d_k^2 U_k^2 \leq \varepsilon^2\right) \sim - M \varepsilon^{-\frac{2}{2p-1}}, \qquad \textrm{ as } \varepsilon\to 0, \] whenever \[ d_k\sim d_{\pm} |k|^{-p}\quad \textrm{for some } p>\frac{1}{2} \, , \quad k\to \pm\infty, \] using the arguments based on the spectral theory of pseudo-differential operators by M. Birman and M. Solomyak. The constant $M$ reflects the dependence structure of $U$ in a non-trivial way, and marks the difference with the well-studied case of the i.i.d. sequences.

I n c l u d e d g e n e r a: A r g n a C o s s m a n n, 1 8 8 9, Speleodentorcula Gittenberger, 1985.
Diagnosis: Shell dextral, cylindrical to ovate cylindrical; protoconch smooth; teleoconch regularly ribbed; peristome thickened and reflexed; aperture with a usually strong palatal tooth, long parietal and columellar lamellae; palatal plicae deeply situated; there can be additional minor plicae; penial caecum absent; penial appendix well developed; bursa copulatrix with long stalk and a well-developed diverticulum.
Distribution: Southern and Eastern Alps, Carpathians and the Iberian Peninsula.
Remarks: The genus Speleodentorcula has been classified into Orculidae (Gittenberger, 1985), Lauriinae (Schileyko, 1998) and Argnidae (Hausdorf, 1996). Here, we follow Hausdorf (1996) and classify Speleodentorcula into Argnidae because of the arrangement of the apertural denticles and the long penial appendix and bursa copulatrix, which are similar to those of Argna.

Validation of a Xenobiotic Vapor Generation and Exposure Chamber System for Quantification of Exposure Effect in 3-Dimensional Human Tissue Reconstructs

description: As the number of manufactured xenobiotics continues to increase, the need for accurate, reproducible methods for quantifying exposure and the related health effects becomes more imperative. My Master Thesis goal was twofold: (1) develop an exposure-chamber system capable of delivering a constant concentration of a xenobiotic vapor and (2) quantify the effect of benzene (as a model xenobiotic) vapor exposure using commercial in vitro 3-dimentional (3D) human skin and lung tissue reconstructs. These reconstructs were exposed to clean air, 30 ppm, 60 ppm, or 120 ppm of benzene for 6 h per day for 5 consecutive days. The concentration of benzene in the exposure-generation system was measured in real-time using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection. Cytotoxicity was determined in the tissue culture media using spectrophotometry. Morphological changes in the tissue reconstructs were observed through histological staining using both hematoxylin and eosin as well as Periodic acid-Schiff stains. The results demonstrate that the exposure-chamber system can deliver a constant concentration of benzene vapor for an extended period of time. The skin reconstructs showed no evidence of toxicity at the levels ≤120 ppm while the lung reconstructs indicated a potential dose-response to benzene exposure. The absence of toxicity in the skin reconstructs indicates that the stratum corneum serves as an effective protective barrier towards benzene vapor exposure. The observed responses in the lung reconstructs provide evidence that this model is amenable for biological assessment of toxic effects due to xenobiotic vapor exposure. This research provides a foundation to further develop methods using 3D human reconstruct models for evaluation of adverse effects due to xenobiotic exposure.

description: In a recent paper we showed that the electroweak chiral Lagrangian at leading order is equivalent to the conventional $κ$ formalism used by ATLAS and CMS to test Higgs anomalous couplings. Here we apply this fact to fit the latest Higgs data. The new aspect of our analysis is a systematic interpretation of the fit parameters within an EFT. Concentrating on the processes of Higgs production and decay that have been measured so far, six parameters turn out to be relevant: $c_V$, $c_t$, $c_b$, $c_τ$, $c_{γγ}$, $c_{gg}$. A global Bayesian fit is then performed with the result: $c_{V} = 0.98 \pm 0.09$, $c_{t} = 1.34 \pm 0.19$, $c_{b} = 0.78 \pm 0.18$, $c_τ = 0.92 \pm 0.14$, $c_{γγ} = -0.24 \pm 0.37$, $c_{gg} = -0.30 \pm 0.17$. Additionally, we show how this leading-order parametrization can be generalized to next-to-leading order, thus improving the $κ$ formalism systematically. The differences with a linear EFT analysis including operators of dimension six are also discussed. One of the main conclusions of our analysis is that since the conventional $κ$ formalism can be properly justified within a QFT framework, it should continue to play a central role in analyzing and interpreting Higgs data.

Indoor Air Pollution Effects on Low Socioeconomic Status Americans
Creators: name: Campbell, Darcy L.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: Americans are exposed to air pollution outside, and in their places of work, at school, and in their homes. Low socioeconomic status Americans have traditionally been at greater risk to all forms of pollution, and indoor air pollution is no exception. Protection against indoor air pollution is one of the six necessary requirements for healthy housing. There are 33 million children and adults below the poverty level in this country who are more likely to suffer ill effects due to indoor air pollution, primarily because more pollutant sources are present in their homes than in the homes of middle to upper income Americans. The use of combustion appliances as primary or secondary heat sources, the presence of asbestos insulation, lead-based paint, and biological contaminants in older homes, along with frequent pesticide use and the influx of ambient air pollutants all increase the risk of health effects ranging from mucous membrane irritation to increased risk of developing cancer. The current Federal legislation regarding indoor air pollution will not sufficiently protect these people; a more active program is needed. Strict enforcement of existing legislation, development of new legislation, and the provision of information and financial assistance is required. This report is the first of its kind designed to inform and alert environmental agencies to the needs of low socioeconomic status groups regarding the hazards of indoor air pollution, and the knowledge gained through this assessment can be used to stimulate public policy actions.

description: Universal exact conditions guided the construction of most ground-state density functional approximations in use today. We derive the relation between the entropy and Mermin free energy density functionals for thermal density functional theory. Both the entropy and sum of kinetic and electron-electron repulsion functionals are shown to be monotonically increasing with temperature, while the Mermin functional is concave downwards. Analogous relations are found for both exchange and correlation. The importance of these conditions is illustrated in two extremes: the Hubbard dimer and the uniform gas.

description: FAMILY FAUXULIDAE HARL & PÁLL-GERGELY FAM. NOV.
Type genus: Fauxulus Schaufuss, 1869 in Paetel & Schaufuss, 1869; nom. nov. pro Faula (Adams & Adams, 1855 in Adams, 1853–1858), type species: Pupa capensis Küster, 1841 (subsequent designation by Martens, 1860).
Included genera: Fauxulus Schaufuss, 1869 (with the subgenera Afriboysidi a Zilch, 1939, Anisoloma Ancey, 1901, Fauxulella Pilsbry, 1917 and Tomigerella Pfeiffer, 1878).
Diagnosis: Shell sinistral or dextral, elongate-ovate, conic or fusiform; peristome strongly expanded and reflexed; protoconch smooth or spirally striated; teleoconch smooth to ribbed; parietal and angular lamellae strong, but short; columellar lamella present, sometimes also with additional lamellae/denticles; several additional, mostly tuberiform denticles and teeth present; penial appendix absent; penial caecum present or absent; diverticulum of bursa copulatrix absent.
Distribution: South, southwest and southeast Africa, Madagascar.
Remarks: Fauxulus and its subgenera were classified within the Odontocycladinae (family Orculidae) by Hausdorf (1996) and Schileyko (1998). Our molecular phylogeny indicates that these genera are not closely related to Orculidae. Instead, they form a more basal lineage within Orthurethra. Therefore, a new family, Fauxulidae fam. nov., is erected for the five former orculid genus-group taxa from Africa and Madagascar.

Application of a Dynamic, Mechanistic Model of the Fenton Reaction for Destruction of Micropollutants in Water
Creators: name: Haith, Robert Arthur
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1997

description: A mathematical model describing oxidation/reduction reactions inaa dynamic liquid phase reactor has been applied to the Fenton Reaction for water and waste water treatment. Currently there are very few mathematical models available to describe the Fenton Reaction for waste water treatment, and the development of a mechanisticly based model would greatly aid in the understanding of the factors involved in the Fenton Reaction. The system of chemical equations making up the Fenton Reaction is laid out, and presented in terms of a set of partial differential equations describing the change in concentration of a micropollutant in a flow-through reactor. Both plug-flow and completely mixed reactors are discussed. The sensitivity of the model towards various input parameters is discussed, particularly reaction rate between the hydroxyl radical and the target micropollutant, influent pH, reactant concentration, retention time, and effect of liquid phase dispersion coefficient. Although no database is available to test the model, model predictions appear consistent with observed trends in actualsystems. Optimum reactant doses are found for different pH levels, and the effect of differing Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratios is illustrated.

description: There is no generally accepted definition for a virtual world, with many complimentary terms and acronyms having emerged implying a virtual world. Advances in systems architecture techniques such as, host migration of instances, mobile ad-hoc networking, and distributed computing, bring in to question whether those architectures can actually support a virtual world. Without a concrete definition, controversy ensues and it is problematic to design an architecture for a virtual world. Several researchers provided a definition but aspects of each definition are still problematic and simply can not be applied to contemporary technologies. The approach of this article is to sample technologies using grounded theory, and obtain a definition for a `virtual world' that is directly applicable to technology. The obtained definition is compared with related work and used to classify advanced technologies, such as: a pseudo-persistent video game, a MANet, virtual and mixed reality, and the Metaverse. The results of this article include: a break down of which properties set apart the various technologies; a definition that is validated by comparing it with other definitions; an ontology showing the relation of the different complimentary terms and acronyms; and, the usage of pseudo-persistence to categories those technologies which only mimic persistence.

DOC and DON Removal at Full-Scale MIEX Installations and Their Relationship to Influent Organic Matter Characteristics
Creators: name: Dyrdahl, Mitchell H.E.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: The magnetic ion exchange process (MIEX) is a relatively new process used in drinking water treatment plants to remove natural organic material (NOM) from raw drinking water. It is used primarily as a pre-treatment process, prior to coagulation, oxidation, and disinfection, and significantly reduces required doses of downstream chemicals as well as the formation of disinfection by products. A previous study by our group examined and compared requisite resin doses for the removal of NOM in laboratory batch experiments with continuous-flow pilot-scale and full-scale measurements, and integrated the findings into a framework for assessing the performance of the MIEX process. The objective of this research was to examine the performance of full-scale MIEX installations in terms of the removal of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and ultraviolet-absorbing substances (UV254) from raw waters containing NOM with different chemical characteristics. Representative samples of raw water, treated water, and waste brine were collected from the MIEX pre-treatment facilities at seven drinking water utilities from around the country and shipped to the University of North Carolina where they were analyzed for DOC, DON, UV254, and hydrophobic organic acids (HPOA). Specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) of each of the samples was calculated. The waters were also subjected to excitation-emission fluorescence measurements (EEMs). Operations data from the plants, e.g. influent and effluent flow rates, recycle flow rates and regeneration ratios, and regenerant brine wastage rates, were obtained. The results indicate that the removal of DOC, UV254, and DON increased with increasing SUVA of the influent water. The latter-mentioned relationship is noteworthy because it implies that significant amounts of DON can be removed by the MIEX process SUVA decreased across the MIEX process owing to the observation that UV-absorbing organic substances were preferentially removed relative to overall DOC. The waste brines had higher SUVA values which is consistent with this finding. Similar results were observed with respect to the HPOA. Mass balances across the MIEX process was performed on organic carbon to validate conclusions based on the above results, and showed good agreement between the mass of DOC wasted from the system and the respective masses removed from the influent water.

description: The supernova (SN) Hubble diagram residual contains valuable information on both the present matter power spectrum and its growth history. In this paper we show that this information can be retrieved with precision by combining both peculiar velocity and weak-lensing analysis on the data. To wit, peculiar velocity induces correlations on the nearby SN while lensing induces a non-Gaussian dispersion in faraway objects. We show that both effects have almost orthogonal degeneracies and discuss how they can be extracted simultaneously from the data. We analyze the JLA supernova catalog in a 14-dimensional parameter space, assuming a flexible growth-rate index $γ$. We arrive at the following marginalized constraints: $σ_8 = 0.65^{+0.23}_{-0.37}$ and $γ= 1.38^{+1.7}_{-0.65}$. Assuming instead GR as the correct gravitation theory (and thus $γ\equiv 0.55$), the constraints in $σ_8$ tighten further: $σ_8 = 0.40^{+0.21}_{-0.23}$. We show that these constraints complement well the ones obtained from other datasets and that they could improve substantially with more SNe.

description: FAMILY AGARDHIELLIDAE HARL & PÁLL-GERGELY FAM. NOV.
Type genus: Agardhiella Hesse, 1923, type species: Pupa truncatella Pfeiffer, 1841, by original designation.
Included genera: Agardhiella Hesse, 1923 and Enneopupa Boettger, 1889 (fossil).
Diagnosis: Shell dextral, cylindrical; peristome moderately thickened and expanded; protoconch finely granulated; teleoconch ribbed; aperture with angular, parietal, palatal, infraparietal, columellar, infracolumellar and basal folds and/or palatal, parietal and basal ridges; penial caecum (swelling on the penis) present; epiphallar caecum might be present; penial appendix rather short; stalk of bursa copulatrix short; diverticulum absent. The diagnosis of Agardhiellidae fam. nov. agrees with that of the genus Agardhiella (see Schileyko, 1998; Subai, 2008, 2011).
Distribution: Southern and Eastern Europe (Balkan Peninsula, Alps, Southern and Eastern Carpathians, Transylvania).
Remarks: The nomenclatural background of the genus Agardhiella Hesse, 1923 (previously Agardhia Gude, 1911) and Argna Cossmann, 1889 [previously Coryna Westerlund, 1887 and Rhytidochasma A. J. Wagner, 1914 (in Sturany & Wagner, 1915)] is complex and is not discussed here in detail. Agardhiella Hesse, 1923 has been treated as a subgenus of Argna, until Gittenberger (1974), based on anatomical data, elevated it to generic level. Consequently, although not mentioned by Hudec (1965), Agardhiella was placed into Argnidae together with the genus Argna.
Agardhiella has so far been hypothesized to be closely related to the genus Argna because of the similar cylindrical shell. The present phylogeny, however, shows that the two genera (i.e. Argna and Agardhiella) are not closely related and form distinct branches within the Orthurethra. Therefore, we propose a new family for the genus Agardhiella. Agardhiellidae fam. nov. differs from Argnidae by the shorter apertural folds, the shorter stalk of the bursa copulatrix (without diverticulum) and shorter penial appendix.
The fossil genus Enneopupa (Europe from Late Oligocene to Late Miocene)is placed withinAgardhiellidae because of the presence of two parietal lamellae, similar to some Agardhiella species. In contrast, members of Argnidae have a single parietal lamella.

Mitigation Strategies for Household Lead Exposure
Creators: name: Kittur, Ashwin

description: There are approximately 57 million homes in the US with lead-based paint. The presence of this paint poses a particularly potent health threat to potentially millions of children. Their behavior and physiology significantly increases their intake, uptake, and adverse symptoms of lead exposure over most other segments of the population. Recent information on exposure, health effects, and toxicokinetics of lead have made lead-based paint dust ingestion by young children and the subsequent low-level exposure (resulting in potentially adverse behavioral and neurological effects) the focus of abatement strategies. Recent efforts on the part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have resulted in lead-based paint abatement techniques that hold greater promise of effectiveness in lead abatement than traditional deleading methodologies. Thus the question posed to public health authorities is how best to combine this biological information with the latest abatement technologies within today's regulatory and legal framework to create a mitigation strategy that is effective from both a public and economic perspectives? A number of strategies suggested in this paper include: the integration of lead-based paint dust related toxicokinetics into current legislation and regulation; the development of a profile for those individuals in the population most at risk for adverse health effects due to household lead exposure and targeting the majority of limited resources at them; further research on toxicokinetics, health effects and treatment for lead poisoning; further research and development for the testing and abatement of lead-based paint.
Adjusted Priors for Bayes Factors Involving Reparameterized Order Constraints

description: Many psychological theories that are instantiated as statistical models imply order constraints on the model parameters. To fit and test such restrictions, order constraints of the form $θ_i \leq θ_j$ can be reparameterized with auxiliary parameters $η\in [0,1]$ to replace the original parameters by $θ_i = η\cdotθ_j$. This approach is especially common in multinomial processing tree (MPT) modeling because the reparameterized, less complex model also belongs to the MPT class. Here, we discuss the importance of adjusting the prior distributions for the auxiliary parameters of a reparameterized model. This adjustment is important for computing the Bayes factor, a model selection criterion that measures the evidence in favor of an order constraint by trading off model fit and complexity. We show that uniform priors for the auxiliary parameters result in a Bayes factor that differs from the one that is obtained using a multivariate uniform prior on the order-constrained original parameters. As a remedy, we derive the adjusted priors for the auxiliary parameters of the reparameterized model. The practical relevance of the problem is underscored with a concrete example using the multi-trial pair-clustering model.

description: The interdependence, dynamics and riskiness of financial institutions are the key features frequently tackled in financial econometrics. We propose a Tail Event driven Network Quantile Regression (TENQR) model which addresses these three aspects. More precisely, our framework captures the risk propagation and dynamics in terms of a quantile (or expectile) autoregression involving network effects quantified through an adjacency matrix. To reflect the nature and risk content of systemic risk, the construction of the adjacency matrix is suggested to include tail event covariates. The model is evaluated using the SIFIs (systemically important financial institutions) identified by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) as main players in the global financial system. The risk decomposition analysis of it identifies the systemic importance of SIFIs and thus provides measures for the required level of additional loss absorbency. It is discovered that the network effect, as a function of the tail probability, becomes more profound in stress situations and brings the various impacts to the SIFIs located in different geographic regions.

description: The protocol for counterfactual transmission of a qubit [Li et al., Phys. Rev. A 92, 052315 (2015)] relies on the counterfactuality of transmissions of bit 1 and of bit 0. Since counterfactuality of transmission of bit 0 is not established, the claim of counterfactuality of transmission of a quantum state is not founded.

description: FAMILY ORCULIDAE STEENBERG, 1925
Orculidae Steenberg, 1925: 201.
Type genus: Orcula Held, 1837, type species Pupa dolium Draparnaud, 1801 (subsequent designation by Gray, 1847).
Included genera: Alvariella Hausdorf, 1996; Orcula Held, 1837 (with the subgenera Illyriobanatica Páll-Gergely & Deli, 2013 and Hausdorfia Páll-Gergely & Irikov, 2013; described in Páll-Gergely et al., 2013); Orculella Steenberg, 1925; Pilorcula Germain, 1912; Schileykula Gittenberger, 1983; Sphyradium de Charpentier, 1837; and Nordsieckula Harl & Harzhauser, 2014 (fossil; described in Harzhauser et al., 2014).
Diagnosis: Shell mostly dextral, cylindrical, conical or ovoid; protoconch with spiral striation; teleoconch from smooth to ribbed, often with periostracal filaments; lower end of parietal and columellar lamellae visible in the aperture at straight view [very rarely reduced, as in Orculella bulgarica bulgarica (Hesse, 1915); see Hausdorf, 1996]; columellar and parietal lamellae long; columellar lamellae 1–4 in number; palatal plicae present or absent; subangularis present in Nordsieckula and some Orculella species; penial caecum always present; penial appendix present or absent; diverticulum of bursa copulatrix present or absent.
Distribution: Europe, Caucasus, Central Asia, Asia Minor to the Levantine coast, some coastal areas of Northern Africa (Hausdorf, 1996; Schileyko, 1998).
Remarks: Our present concept of Orculidae as a monophyletic group agrees with that of the Orculinae sensu Schileyko (1998, 2012). Based on shell morphological characters, the genus Nordsieckula was established by Harl & Harzhauser (in Harzhauser et al., 2014) for two fossil species, Nordsieckula subconica (Sandberger, 1858) (Central Europe, Late Oligocene to Early Miocene) and Nordsieckula falkneri (Hausdorf, 1995) (Central Europe, Middle Miocene), both previously classified into the genus Orcula. The two species have typical orculid shells with a central parietal lamella and two columellar lamellae reaching the aperture margin. A subangularis is present in both fossil species and also in some of the recent Orculella species. Harl et al. (2014b) propose the hypothesis that the younger species, N. falkneri, might represent the most recent common ancestor of Orcula, Orculella and Sphyradium [and Schileykula].
