description: Genus Temnocheilus M‘Coy, 1844
Type species
Nautilus (Temnocheilus) coronatus M‘Coy, 1844; subsequent designation by Hyatt (1883 –1884).
Diagnosis
Genus of the family Trigonoceratidae with discoidal to pachyconic, usually subevolute conch. The first whorl is about 30 mm in diameter with an umbilical foramen about 12 mm wide; the conch is rapidly increasing in height with a high coiling rate (WER usually higher than 2.00). Whorls weakly embracing, their profile triangular with more or less angular umbilical margin. Sculpture with longitudinal tubercles along the ventral margin. Septa usually without inflexions, rather deeply concave. Suture line with shallow ventral and deeper lateral, rounded internal lobe. The siphuncle has a position between the centre of the aperture and the venter (after Shimansky 1967).
Included Early Carboniferous species
Most of the species of Temnocheilus are known from Late Carboniferous and Permian strata (Shimansky 1967: 98). Early Carboniferous species are known from three regions:
British Isles (Sowerby 1821; M‘Coy 1844; Hind 1914; Platt 1938): Nautilus tuberculatus Sowerby, 1821, Scotland; Nautilus (Temnocheilus) coronatus M‘Coy, 1844, Ireland; Temnocheilus derbiensis Hind, 1914, England; Temnocheilus ventro-concavus Platt, 1938, Scotland.
South Urals (Shimansky 1967): Temnocheilus coronatiformae Shimansky, 1967; South Urals.
North Africa (this paper): Temnocheilus imazighenorum sp. nov., Anti-Atlas; Temnocheilus aubrechtovae sp. nov., Anti-Atlas.

description: Although there is a large body of evidence on food security and food systems, similar research is limited in disaster settings. Rural areas are especially at risk for adverse disaster consequences. The goal of this project is to validate the Disaster Food Security Scale (DFSS) for rural populations. Rural population-specific validation is needed to ensure that the scale reliably measures barriers to food security in rural populations, which may have different concerns and issues during disasters when compared to the general or non-rural populations. To validate the DFSS-Rural, the DFSS survey was administered to a national U.S. sample of households that recall a disaster in their community in the past five years. Survey data were analyzed for validity and non-rural and rural populations were compared. The disaster food security construct created through the scale development process was unidimensional allowing the administration and scoring of a single composite scale to capture multiple aspects of food security in a disaster context. The DFSS scale measures food security disruption from a systems perspective, and therefore, identifies where a disruption is occurring in the food system chain and can provide information for public health and emergency management officials, communities, and community service organizations about specific opportunities for intervention to improve food security and improve health outcomes.

description: Two decades of ACE-FTS, the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment � Fourier Transform Spectrometer, version 5.2 (v5.2) ozone data (2004�23) are evaluated with ozonesonde data from across the globe. The biases between the ACE-FTS and ozonesonde measurements are first estimated by analyzing coincident data pairs. A second approach is taken for the validation by comparing the ACE-FTS and ozonesonde monthly mean time series, with the former generated by sampling the ACE-FTS data within latitude/longitude boxes (i.e., � 5�/� 30�) surrounding the stations and calculating the monthly averages. The biases, correlations, variation patterns, and the mean states of the two time series are compared. The biases estimated in this way exhibit more consistent and smoother features than using the coincident pair method. The ACE-FTS and ozonesonde monthly mean time series are highly correlated and exhibit similar variation patterns in the lower stratosphere at all latitudes. The ACE-FTS instrument drifts for each station are assessed in terms of the long-term linear trends relative to ozonesondes, which, although highly stable, may have their own minor changes with time. The ACE-FTS ozone profiles exhibit in general high biases in the stratosphere for altitudes above ? 20 km, increasing with altitude up to ? 10 % at around 30 km. For altitudes between 20 km and the tropopause, biases of up to � 10 % are found, depending on altitude and latitude with the largest biases found in the tropics and southern mid-latitudes. The ACE-FTS instrument drifts are generally non-significant overall in the stratosphere with high variation between the stations. Averaging the individual station instrument drifts within several latitude bands results in small non-significant drifts of within � 1 %�% per decade in the northern mid-latitudes to high latitudes and the southern high latitudes. It also results in a positive but non-significant drift of up to 5 % per decade in the tropics and southern mid-latitudes, with overall uncertainties in this region ranging up to 5 %� % per decade (2? level) in the low stratosphere. As part of this assessment, an analysis of ozonesonde measurement stability using ACE-FTS as a transfer standard is conducted and finds small step changes in ozonesonde response at some stations. These results are in general agreement with recent findings using other satellite data sources.

description: International policy has sought to emphasize and strengthen the link between the conservation of natural ecosystems and human development. Furthermore, international conservation organizations have broadened their objectives beyond nature-based goals to recognize the contribution of conservation interventions in sustaining ecosystem services upon which human populations are dependent. While many indices have been developed to measure various human well-being domains, the strength of evidence to support the effects, both positive and negative, of conservation interventions on human well-being, is still unclear.

description: Genus Endolobus Meek & Worthen, 1865
Type species
Nautilus (Endolobus) peramplus Meek & Worthen, 1865 (= Nautilus spectabilis Meek & Worthen, 1860); original designation.
Diagnosis
Genus of the family Trigonoceratidae with usually pachyconic, subinvolute or evolute conch; whorls usually slightly impressed, whorl profile compressed with broadly rounded or slightly flattened venter and rounded umbilical margin. Conch very rapidly increasing in height with a high coiling rate (WER usually higher than 2.50). Sculpture with broad, rounded nodes on the flanks. Septa without inflexions, moderately concave. Suture line nearly straight with very shallow external lobe and usually with an internal lobe; some species with an annular lobe. Siphuncle with subcentral position.
Included Early Carboniferous species

North Africa (this paper): Endolobus rota sp. nov., Anti-Atlas.
Remarks
Endolobus is a genus in need of revision both in its definition and possible phylogenetic position. For example, according to Gordon (1965), the annular lobe belongs to the diagnosis of the genus, whereas Shimansky (1967) did not consider this a necessary character. The assignment of the material from the Anti-Atlas can therefore only be tentative. Early Carboniferous species are known mainly from North America (for a species list, see Gordon 1965). Most of them are very large specimens, which makes a comparison with considerably smaller specimens difficult. The material from the Anti-Atlas is not very typical for Endolobus and occupies a marginal position within the genus.

description: Global efforts to reduce deforestation rely heavily on protected areas and land use restrictions. The effect of these restrictions on local communities is currently the subject of heated debate among conservation and development experts. Measuring the social impacts of protected areas is difficult because the effects cannot be isolated from other factors, given the nonrandom placement of protection. We address this problem by applying a quasi-experimental approach to establish the counterfactual (搘hat would have been the socioeconomic outcome if a protected area had not been established?�). We use matching methods to measure the impacts of pre-1980 protected areas in Costa Rica on socioeconomic outcomes in 2000. In 2000, neighboring communities near protected areas were substantially poorer than average. However, after controlling for pre-protection characteristics associated with both protection and economic growth, the results indicate that poverty declined as a result of protection. Although the statistical significance of this decline is moderately sensitive to potential hidden bias, the results emphatically do not support a hypothesis that ecosystem protection, on average, exacerbates poverty. In contrast, conventional empirical methods implied erroneously that protection had negative social impacts, suggesting that failure to control for confounding factors or baselines can lead to substantially inaccurate estimates

Type species
Nautilus planotergatus M‘Coy, 1844; original designation.
Diagnosis
Genus of the family Trigonoceratidae with discoidal to pachyconic, usually subevolute conch. The first whorl is 12–20 mm in diameter with an umbilical foramen about 4–8 mm wide; the conch is rapidly increasing in height with a high coiling rate (WER usually higher than 2.50). Whorls weakly embracing, their profile is rectangular with more or less angular umbilical margin and ventrolateral shoulder. Sculpture with faint longitudinal ridges around the ventrolateral shoulder. Septa without inflexions, moderately concave. Suture line with moderately deep ventral and lateral lobes. The siphuncle has a position between the centre of the aperture and the venter (after Shimansky 1967).
Included species
British Isles (Phillips 1836; M‘Coy 1844; Foord 1900; Turner 1954, 1965): Nautilus Doohylensis Foord, 1900, Ireland; Epidomatoceras maccoyi Turner, 1954, Derbyshire; Nautilus planotergatus M‘Coy, 1844, Ireland; Epidomatoceras neilsoni Turner, 1965, Scotland; Epidomatoceras flemingi Turner, 1965, Scotland; Nautilus subsulcatus Phillips, 1836, Yorkshire.

North Africa (this paper): Epidomatoceras ebbighausenorum sp. nov., Anti-Atlas.
Remarks
Epidomatoceras belongs to a group of Early Carboniferous nautiloids of which the phylogenetic and taxonomic relationships are far from being solved (Dzik & Korn 1992). Unlike most other late Tournaisian and Viséan evolute nautiloids, it shows the formation of a distinct umbilical margin.
The genus has a wide distribution across facies boundaries; it occurs in both shallow and deep shelf strata. For this reason, it is often found together with ammonoids.

description: WHAT-IF -- Writing a Hero's Alternate Timeline through Interactive Fiction -- is a system that uses zero-shot meta-prompting to create branching narratives from a prewritten story. Played as an interactive fiction (IF) game, WHAT-IF lets the player choose between decisions that the large language model (LLM) GPT-4 generates as possible branches in the story. Starting with an existing linear plot as input, a branch is created at each key decision taken by the main character. By meta-prompting the LLM to consider the major plot points from the story, the system produces coherent and well-structured alternate storylines. WHAT-IF stores the branching plot tree in a graph which helps it to both keep track of the story for prompting and maintain the structure for the final IF system.

description: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powerful sources of panchromatic radiation. All AGN emit in X-rays, contributing around $\sim 5-10\%$ of the AGN bolometric luminosity. The X-ray emitting region, popularly known as the corona, is geometrically and radiatively compact with a size typically $\lesssim 10 \, R_{\rm G}$ (gravitational radii). The rapid and extreme variability in X-rays also suggest that the corona must be a dynamic structure. Decades of X-ray studies have shed much light on the topic, but the nature and origin of AGN corona are still not clearly understood. This is mostly due to the complexities involved in several physical processes at play in the high-gravity, high-density and high-temperature region in the vicinity of the supermassive black hole (SMBH). It is still not clear how exactly the corona is energetically and physically sustained near a SMBH. The ubiquity of coronal emission in AGN points to their fundamental role in black hole accretion processes. In this review we discuss the X-ray observational properties of corona in radio quiet AGN.
