(Fig. 41)
Autochloris vetusta Zerny, 1931b: 7 (Taf. 1, Fig. 12). Holotype male [by monotypy], no locality data, with four labels: “Pol.”; “ Mann, ab…eb. [indecipherable word], 1865”; and “Frh.v. [Freiherr von] Block 1791, Mus. Caes. Vind.”.
Current combination. Autochloris vetusta Zerny, 1931.
Condition of the type. Wings badly worn on both the dorsal and ventral surfaces.
Remarks. The original description gives the type as a female, which is an error. However, there is no doubt that the specimen here regarded as the holotype is correctly identified because it is the specimen illustrated in Zerny (1931b), and also it has a label with information provided in the original description.
The meaning of the first label is unknown. In the second, the holes made by the pin make it impossible to decipher what is written. It could mean that the specimen was illustrated by Mann, who illustrated many European Lepidoptera (but mostly microlepidopterans), if the word reads “abgeb.” (abgebildet, which means “illustrated”).
This species is remarkably similar to the illustration of Autochloris almon (Cramer, 1779) provided in the original description (plate 224, fig. F). It is unknown to us whether any of the types of A. almon still exist.

The effects of feature-based attention on perception
Creators: name: Zhuang, Xiaohua
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Feature-based attention is one of the mechanisms that can facilitate the processing of many aspects of our visual perception. A variety of paradigms were employed in the current dissertation to further investigate how feature-based attention modulates motion perception, visual search and temporal processing of stimuli. The first set of experiments aimed to explore the effects of feature-based attention on the processing of motion speed and motion direction separately. Speed and direction discrimination tasks were used in separate experiments. Results showed that feature-based attention has more dramatic influence on direction perception than on speed perception. This may be taken as evidence that humans are more sensitive to motion speed change than to motion direction change. The second set of experiments was designed to study how performance in color-orientation conjunctive searches changes when observers attend to a pre-cued location, or a pre-cued feature (color or orientation), as well as the temporal characteristics of these precue effects. Color (sensory and symbolic) and location precues improved search performance. The magnitude of improvement did not vary as the inter-stimulus interval (ISI) changed for color and location cues. The sensory color and location cues exhibited their effect in directing visual search as early as 0 ms of ISI. However, orientation precue did not facilitate nor inhibit the search processing. These results may imply that color is a better feature to base the segmentation processing on and thereby facilitate the visual search processing. The third set of experiments explored the existence of feature-based attentional prior-entry effect, which refers to the hypothesis that attended objects are perceived prior to unattended ones. Temporal order judgment (TOJ) and simultaneity judgment (SJ) tasks were employed to test this hypothesis. Prior-entry effect for objects with attended feature was found in TOJ task, the most frequently used paradigm in the literature to claim the spatial prior-entry effect, but the effect was absent in the SJ task. This could be due to a second-order response bias in the TOJ task, or to the fact that the SJ task is not as sensitive as the TOJ task.

Holotype female [by monotypy]: COLOMBIA, Villavicencio, 400m (Fassl); with three labels: printed label “Villavicencio, Ost Colombia, 400m, coll. Fassl”; handwritten label “ Leucotmemis omole Druce ”; and another handwritten label “ Leucotmemis vincentia Zerny ♀ type ”.
Current combination. Leucotmemis vincentia Zerny, 1931.
Condition of the type. Right antenna missing, the left broken at tip. Right forewing with damage at the external margin.
Remarks. Leucotmemis Butler, 1876, seems to be polyphyletic, having species resembling Gymnelia Walker, 1854 and Calonotos Hübner, [1819]. However, this species is fairly similar to its type species, L. latilinea Walker, 1854, though even more to L. omole (Druce, 1883).

Nonparametric and semiparametric regression, missing data, and related algorithms
Creators: name: Li, Mingyu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation consists of two chapters: Chapter 1 develops nonparametric and semiparametric regression methodologies which relate the group testing responses to the individual covariates information. In this chapter, we extend the parametric regression model of Xie (2001) for binary group testing data to the nonparametric and semiparametric models. We fit nonparametric and semiparametric models and obtain estimators of the parameters by maximizing penalized likelihood function. For implementation, we apply EM algorithm considering the individual responses as complete data and the group testing responses as observed data. Simulation studies are performed to illustrate the methodologies and to evaluate the finite sample performance of our methods. In general, group testing involves a large number of subjects, hence, the computational aspect is also discussed. The results show that our estimation methods perform well for estimating both the individual probability of positive outcome and the prevalence rate in the population.Chapter 2 studies a partially linear regression model with missing response variable and develops semiparametric efficient inference for the parametric component of the model. The missingness considered here includes a broad range of missing patterns. For the estimation method, we use the concept of least favorable curve, least favorable direction and the generalized profile likelihood in Severini and Wong (1992). Asymptotic distributions for the estimators of the parametric components are obtained. It is shown that the estimators are asymptotically normally distributed under some conditions. Furthermore, we prove that the asymptotic covariance of the estimators achieves the semiparametric lower bound under the regularity conditions and additional conditions given in the appendix.We also propose an algorithm which runs iteratively between fitting parametric components and fitting nonparametric components while holding the other fixed. EM algorithms are used in estimating the parametric components by a semiparametric estimating equation and in estimating the nonparametric components by smoothing methods. It is proved that the estimators from this iterative algorithm equal to the conditional expectations (conditioned on observed data) of the semiparametric efficient estimators from complete data. The methodology is illustrated and evaluated by numerical examples.

Saurita cryptoleuca Hampson, 1903: 340 (preoccupied). Holotype male, by monotypy: BRAZIL, Organ Mountains, Tijuca (R. J. Wagner); with five labels: “ Type ”, “Rio de Janeiro, Organ Mts., near Tijuca, S. R. Wagner, 1902-287”, “ Saurita cryptoleuca type ♂ Hmpsn”, “Kb-Dia-Nr. 552 B. Kreusel dok.”, and “BMNH(E) 1475618” (BMNH) [examined]. Saurita clandestina Zerny, 1912a: 81, repl. n.
Current combination. Pseudomya clandestina (Zerny, 1912), comb. nov.
Condition of the type. Wings slightly worn, otherwise in good condition.
Remarks. Saurita clandestina was erected as the objective replacement name for Saurita cryptoleuca Hampson, 1903, a junior secondary homonym of Euchromia cryptoleuca Walker, 1854, which was first placed in Saurita by Kirby (1892) and retained there by Hampson (1898). Hampson (1914) ignored the homonym, and illustrated this species as S. cryptoleuca in Hampson (1915). Draudt (1915) acknowledged the homonymy, and used S. clandestina as the valid name for S. cryptoleuca Hampson.
This species is here considered in Pseudomya Hübner, [1819] because Hampson (1898) and subsequent authors (Zerny 1912; Draudt 1915) considered its type species, P. tipulina Hübner, [1812], in Saurita. The origin of the mistake was the erroneous attribution of Sphinx melanthus Cramer, 1781 as the type species of Pseudomya. Because this name is older than Saurita Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], it takes precedence.
This nomenclatural change does not imply the rejection of P. clandestina ICZN (Art. 59.3).

Development and application of a coupled SWMM-MODFLOW model for an urban wetland
Creators: name: Yergeau, Steven E.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2010

description: Kearny Marsh is located within the Hackensack Meadowlands and since it was formed almost forty years ago, has been negatively impacted by activities that have altered its hydrology (ditching, urban stormwater infrastructure, construction of the western spur of the New Jersey Turnpike).  The primary goals of this research were to characterize existing hydrology of Kearny Marsh, to predict effects on marsh hydrology of proposals to redevelop and reuse the site, and to project future marsh water levels under drought and high precipitation conditions.  To analyze various components of this complex system, a Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) surface water model and a Visual MODFLOW groundwater model were developed, calibrated, and validated.  SWMM was linked to MODFLOW through exchange of evapotranspiration and infiltration data between the models.  The coupled models provided water budgets for Kearny Marsh in order to characterize its hydrology.  The validated SWMM and MODFLOW linked models were used to simulate hydrological impacts of a slurry wall around Keegan Landfill and redevelopment of portions of the wetland.  Results from field measurements and model simulations indicate that Kearny Marsh is a groundwater discharge wetland with a shallow groundwater table.  Groundwater flow is in an eastern direction, towards the Hackensack River.  Flow velocities are slow, which are consistent with measured hydraulic conductivities.  Hydrology is also influenced by tidal action that affects flooding frequency in the surrounding area.  A broken bulkhead between Kearny Marsh and Frank's Creek allows for additional water inputs into the marsh when high tides are occurring.  If this situation is coupled with a storm event, flooding may occur in surrounding areas.  This was both predicted in the SWMM model and observed in the field.  This combination of a shallow water table that gets elevated during storm events, development reducing the areas available to infiltrate stormwater, and drainage deficiencies due to the broken bulkhead connecting Frank's Creek and Kearny Marsh account for flooding reported in Kearny, NJ.  Proposed development and installation of a slurry wall around portions of Keegan Landfill was predicted to create hydrologic changes that are consistent with urban impacts (increased flows, decreased infiltration and increased evaporation).

(Mathan)"; " Type "; "Rothschild Bequest B.M. 1939-1"; " Cosmosoma mathani Type Rothsch."; "Kb-Dia-Nr. 417 B. Kreusel dok."; and “BMNH(E) 1475632” (BMNH) [examined].
Cosmosoma exomelan Zerny, 1912a: 70.
Current combination. Chrostosoma exomelan (Zerny, 1912a), comb. nov.
Condition of the type. Both antennae broken, the right proximally, the left medially. Wings slightly worn.
Remarks. Zerny (1912a) created this name as the objective replacement name for Cosmosoma mathani Rothschild, 1911, a junior primary homonym of Cosmosoma mathani Rothschild, 1910. This action was ignored by Hampson (1914, 1915), who also erroneously mentioned a male type for C. mathani Rothschild, 1911. Draudt (1915) recognized the homonymy and adopted the name C. exomelan for C. mathani Rothschild, 1911.
The new combination in Chrostosoma Hübner, [1819] of this species and others previously placed in Cosmosoma Hübner, [1823] is discussed in Pinheiro & Duarte (2013). Chrostosoma exomelan is here maintained in this genus merely because it is not possible at this moment to ascertain its taxonomic placement, which is almost certainly not in Chrostosoma. This species closely resembles one of the female phenotypes of Phoenicoprocta vacillans (Walker, 1856).

Napata felderi Zerny, 1912a: 118; Draudt, 1915: 139; Draudt, 1917: pl. 21, row c.
Current combination. Uranophora felderi Zerny, 1912, comb. nov.
Remarks. Felder (1874) figured on the same plate two different taxa with the same specific epithet: Entomis eucyane Felder, 1874 (fig. 14) and Cyanopepla eucyane Felder, 1874 (fig. 16). Hampson (1898) included both in Napata Walker, 1854, treating the former as a synonym of N. splendida (Herrich-Schäffer, [1854]), and the latter as a valid species. Zerny (1912) created the name N. felderi for C. eucyane, even though E. eucyane was still a junior synonym of N. splendida. Hampson (1914) removed E. eucyane from the synonymy, recognizing it as a valid species, ignoring both the homonymy and Zerny’s new name to C. eucyane. Draudt (1915) treated both species as valid, but recognized the homonymy and adopted the name N. felderi. Later, Hampson (1920) transferred E. eucyane to Belemniastis Hampson, 1901, where it still is.
Cyanopepla eucyane was described from an unknown number of specimens from Brazil. Draudt (1915) gives Santos as the type locality, but the origin of this information is unknown. No potential syntypes were found at the BMNH, where Felder’s collection is housed (Horn & Kahle 1935 –1937).
The new combination is justified by the fact that Hampson (1898) included Uranophora chalybea Hübner, [1831], the type species of Uranophora Hübner, [1831], in Napata. The adequacy of this taxonomic placement could not be evaluated.

(Figs. 1–5)
Material examined: CHILE: Araucania Region: Termas de Rio Blanco, 23-II-1979, 1100 m a.s.l., Valdivian forest, on Nothofagus sp. A. C. Ashworth & J. W. Hoganson legs, 1 ♀. Los Rios Region: Lago Pirihueico, 4/ 5-III- 2016, on Nothofagus sp. A. Lüer leg, 1♀.
Additonal morphological data: This species was redescribed in Faúndez (2014), however the internal genitalia was not examined because of the existence of a single type specimen. Now, with two more females available, part of the internal female genitalia is described below:
Spermatheca (Fig. 2.). Spermathecal bulb ovate in shape, wider than longer, with a swollen appearance. Proximal flange of the pump about one third the size of the bulb, the pump region is divided in two morphologically distinctive sections. Distal section cone shaped with the apex immersed into the spermathecal bulb. Proximal section about one half shorter than the first one, transversally flattened, hourglass shaped, more sclerotized than the rest of the structures. Spermathecal duct tubular, elongated, significantly thinner than the rest of the structures.
The examined specimens possess a more entire, well-developed abdominal spine, reaching to the anterior margins of the mesocoxae (Figs. 1, 4). In addition, they have a non-continous pro-, meso-, and metasternal carina (Fig. 4 in part).
Host plant. Nothofagus sp. (Nothofagaceae). The environment is characterized by Valdivian forest, with large extensions of Nothofagus spp. Additionally, the area is surrounded by several rivers and lakes. Distribution (Fig. 5). Until now, P. canaliculus was only known from Valdivia, the type locality; the new records provided herein extends the distribution of P. canaliculus towards the Andes in a straight line with Valdivia, and northwards to the Araucania Region in Rio Blanco. It is noteworthy to mention that at the time of Reed’s (1898) paper, Valdivia was used as a general location in the south; so, it is possible that the type may not have come exactly from Valdivia but it may actually come from another locality nearer to those reported in this paper (e.g., Pirihueico).

Current combination. Chrostosoma flavothoracides Zerny, 1912, comb. nov.
Condition of the types. Lectotype. Abdominal tergites a bit rubbed. Paralectotype. Left antenna broken at tip, right antenna broken in its first half.
Remarks. This name was created as the objective replacement name for Cosmosoma intensa Rothschild, 1910, a junior secondary homonym of Glaucopis intensa Walker, 1854. By the time of the creation of C. intensa Rothschild, Walker’s name was treated in Cosmosoma by Hampson (1898), which created the homonymy. Even though the latter was transferred to Saurita by Hampson (1914), the objective replacement name C. flavothoracides for C. intensa Rothschild still applies (ICZN, article 59.3), for it has been used by Draudt (1915, 1917).
Cosmosoma intensa Rothschild was described from one male and one female, but no type designation was made. Hampson (1914) mentioned the specimen from Ecuador (the male) as the “ type ”, what constitutes a lectotype designation under article 74.5 (ICZN, 1999).
Even though C. intensa Rothschild was described as a species, the author mentioned that it was probably a subspecies of C. flavothorax Rothschild, 1910. This conjecture could not be investigated here, therefore C. flavothoracides remains at the species level.

Micro- and nano-encapsulation and controlled-release of phenolic compounds and other food ingredients
Creators: name: Jiang, Yan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: The health promotive properties of phenolic compounds attracted a lot of attention in recent years because of their biological and pharmacological effects including antioxidative and cytoprotective functions. Green tea catechins and curcumin have been extensively studied and they both show strong anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but low bioavailability is always a problem. Therefore, effective delivery systems could be a solution to enhance their oral bioavailability.In this study tea catechins were encapsulated in two W/O/W double emulsion systems, protein-polysaccharide complex coacervates and emulsifiers/polysaccharide stabilized double emulsion. Physicochemical characteristics were determined for both systems. The coacervate encapsulation achieved 90.5% encapsulation efficiency, and the other double emulsion reached 94.5% efficiency. Coacervate-encapsulated catechins were stable in artificial gastric juice, and could target-release catechins in small intestinal juice triggered by pH. Curcumin was dissolved in medium chain triglyceride (MCT) and further emulsified in water. Curcumin nano-emulsions had average particle sizes of 150.5nm and 148.4nm for 1% and 1.5% curcumin, respectively. The encapsulation efficiencies were 77.5% for 1% curcumin emulsion and 71.5% for 1.5% emulsion. Oral administration of nano-emulsified curcumin could inhibit TPA-induced edema on mouse ears by 100%, and significantly inhibited pro-inflammatory factors IL-1beta, IL-6, MMP-9, and cyclin D1 dose-responsively. The anti-inflammatory effects directly indicated enhanced bioavailability of curcumin.Protein-polysaccharide coacervation was further applied to enzyme encapsulation. α-Amylase can form coacervate with κ-carrageenan under optimized conditions, and reach 99.3% encapsulation efficiency. Enzyme kinetics showed that encapsulation could strongly protect α-Amylase from acid denaturation, suggesting that the stoichiometric complexation of α-amylase did not alter the active binding sites of enzyme.In summary, low cost, convenient and highly efficient encapsulation methods using food grade natural biopolymers have been developed to encapsulate nutraceuticals or enzyme. The encapsulation systems have protective, target-releasing, and bioavailability enhancing functions.

description: L. monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular pathogen of humans and animals. Although L. monocytogenes is responsible for approximately 2500 cases of foodborne illnesses in the United States, it results in 88- 92 % of hospitalizations attributed to foodborne pathogens and causes an associated high mortality rate of 25- 40 %. Due to the natural decline of the immune system, infectious disease is one of the major causes of mortality in the elderly. Orthomolecular levels of vitamin E have been shown to promote T cell proliferation in healthy aged animals and human. We investigated the impact of immunomodulation on the development of listerial infection within an aged and young population after low dose challenge with L. monocytogenes. Animals were immunoenhanced with daily supplementation of vitamin E for a period of 21 days. An untreated control group was included. Blood samples were immunostained, and changes in the level of CD8+ and CD3+ T cells were determined using flow cytometry analysis. Animals were orally challenged with 100 CFU of L. monocytogenes. Daily supplementation with vitamin E increased the level of total (CD3+) T cells and cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells significantly in young but not old animals. Results showed that 8 % and 15 % of young and aged control animals respectively, became infected; whereas, 0 % and 13 % of young and aged animals, respectively, receiving orthomolecular doses of vitamin E became infected. During post-challenge period, vitamin E treated aged animals showed a faster CD8+ T cell proliferation response than control aged animals. Results also showed that dietary vitamin E supplementation boosted a pool of T cells. In conclusion, experiments demonstrate the effect of vitamin E in mitigating listerial infection in young animals; and stimulating immune response in young and aged animals.
A measure of soil structure derived from water retention properties
Creators: name: Yoon, Sung Won
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2009

description: Water retention curves of structured soils reflect the combined effects of pore systems associated to a given distribution of particle sizes (texture) and those that are the result of rearrangement of soil particles into soil structural units. The main hypothesis of this work was that the entropic distance between structural and textural soil pore systems can be a measure of soil structure. It was also hypothesized that such distance can be derived from water retention curves by assuming that both pore systems follow lognormal distributions and that textural pore systems are the result of random arrangements of particles sizes. The entropic difference between the distributions of the two pore systems considered was derived as a Kullback-Leibler Distance or KLD using an explicit equation that uses the geometric means and standard deviations of pores and particle size distributions derived from water retention data and from information on clay, silt and sand content. Data on water retention and texture obtained for this study was supplemented with data from the literature and with data on 1468 soils from the US National Pedon Characterization database. The KLD concept was tested by comparing physically disturbed samples with undisturbed samples over a range of soil structure conditions. Values of KLD from younger soils along two chronosequences, and from compacted and/or degraded soils were smaller than those from older soils and non compacted or degraded soils. Also, KLD values of disturbed samples were lower than those of undisturbed samples. The use of KLD in a large dataset showed that KLD was linearly related to saturated hydraulic conductivity, which is an important hydraulic property. Also, KLD was an important grouping factor in a regression tree analysis for estimation of water content at -33 kPa and in clusters defined from a combination of field and morphological variables. The KLD measure is a promising tool to characterize soil structure. Future studies should consider incorporating KLD into pedotransfer functions or other predictive schemes aimed at improving the estimation of hydraulic properties, which are sensitive to soil structure.
Risk-averse newsvendor models

Year: 2009

description: I consider single- and multi-product risk-averse newsvendor models under two risk measures, coherent measures of risk and exponential utility function. Following from the typical format of a newsvendor model, I formulate the problems in the single- and multi-product cases and establish my models to take risk aversion into account. Thus, my models can capture the decision making of inventory managers at a different angle than most of literature in supply chain management. The key research questions are how the degree of risk aversion and product demand dependence structure interact with each other and affect jointly to the optimal decision of inventory managers. My models can find their applications in many manufacturing, distribution and retailing companies that handle short life-cycle products.From my extensive literature review, I summarize and tabulate the literature of risk-averse inventory models and categorize typical approaches to risk-averse inventory models into four groups by the risk measures used. I discuss similarities and differences between the models. In particular, I provide clear axiomatic criteria to evaluate validity of risk measures in risk-averse newsvendor models. By the axiomatic criteria, coherent measures of risk are chosen to fit best for risk-averse newsvendor models, but the exponential utility function is also studied for a comparison purpose. This axiomatic approach can be also applicable to other types of risk-averse inventory models.In the main results, I study the impact of risk aversion on the optimal ordering quantity. For single-product models, I obtain closed-form optimal ordering quantity under coherent measures of risk and closed-form approximation under exponential utility function. For a large but finite number of products, I also obtain closed-form approximations under the both risk measures when product demands are independent. My approximations are as simple to compute as the risk-neutral newsvendor solutions and the gap between the optimal solutions and approximations quickly converges to zero as the number of products increases. Then I prove that the risk-neutral solution is asymptotically optimal under coherent measures of risk, as the number of products tends to be infinity. The same proposition is proved under exponential utility function, as the ratio of the degree of risk aversion to the number of products goes to zero. Thus, in both cases, risk aversion has no impact in the limit. Demand dependence significantly affects the optimal ordering quantity. I derive analytical and numerical insights for the interplay between demand correlation and risk aversion. All these results are consistent with our insights and confirmed by numerical examples from my computational study.I conclude my dissertation by comparing risk-averse newsvendor models and financial portfolio optimization models.
