description: Arrenurus (Micruracarus) contortus n. sp. (Figure 24) Type series — Holotype male, dissected and slide mounted, Vietnam, 15-44-1 Bach MAE National Park, brook with a pool behind a natural barrier, 16°11’15.5"N, 105°50’54.7"E, alt. 1130 m a.s.l., water depth 0.2 m, substrate: leaves in a lentic bay, 2.v.2015. Diagnosis — Petiole consisting of hyaline appendages; posterior dorsal margin with a pair of double-lobed hyaline membranes; genital plates reversed wing-shaped, broadening laterally; gonopore very narrow. Description — Male: Idiosoma lilac, dorsally 603 long and 543 wide. Dorsal shield complete, 381 wide. Dgl-3, Dgl-4 and Lgl-4 (conform Wiles 1997) not well visible in dorsal view due to bowing of the dorsal shield. Pygal lobes absent. Posterior dorsal margin with a pair of two-lobed hyaline membranes. Posterior margin ending in a blunt, rounded projection, flanked by a pair of knob-like extensions. Cx-I extending beyond anterior idiosoma margin. Distance of tip of Cx-I to posterior idiosoma margin 640 µm. Genital plates reversed wing-shaped, broadening laterally, slightly extending onto lateral idiosoma margin. Gonopore very narrow, 60 µm long. Idiosoma posteromedially with a concavity, with the petiole in it. Petiole consisting of two hyaline appendages, their shape dependent on position of the specimen. Besides the hyaline petiole a double-tipped hyaline appendage present. Palp: total L 214, dL: P-1, 28; P-2, 52; P-3, 42; P-4, 54; P-5, 38; P-2 medially with four setae, dorsally with three setae; P-3 with a long medial seta. Legs: dL of I-L-4-6: 86, 86, 76; dL of IV-L-4-6: 122, 112, 92; IV-L-4 without a spur. Third and fourth legs with numerous swimming setae. Female: Unknown. Etymology — Named for the complicated structure of the appendages. Remarks — The shape of the genital plates is very unusual, and thus far found in the subgenus Rhinophoracarus Viets, 1916 and in a small number of other subgenera. However, members of Rhinophoracarus have a very long petiole, very unlike the hyaline petiole of the new species. Due to the presence of a hyaline petiole and hyaline appendages assignment to Micruracarus seems most appropriate. Distribution — Vietnam; only known from the locus typicus (Figure 25C).

description: Observations of the Galactic Center (GC) have accumulated a multitude of "forensic" evidence indicating that several million years ago the center of the Milky Way galaxy was teaming with starforming and accretion-powered activity -- this paints a rather different picture from the GC as we understand it today. We examine a possibility that this epoch of activity could have been triggered by the infall of a satellite galaxy into the Milky Way which began at the redshift of 10 and ended few million years ago with a merger of the Galactic supermassive black hole with an intermediate mass black hole brought in by the inspiralling satellite.

Identification. This frog was verified as C. alticola due to yellow to brown coloration with a long, pointed head and slender legs (Kabir et al. 2009) and by calls including a variety of squeaks and trills. Typical squeak was 45–70 ms with a dominant frequency that started from 2000–3000 Hz and dropped to under 1000 Hz along with another frequency band that started at 3500 Hz and dropped to near 1000 Hz. A different call lasted 300 ms with frequency bands that started at 1200 Hz and 1800 Hz and then rose to 1600 Hz and 2300 Hz. There was also a low-frequency trill which lasted about 230–500 ms, composed of 5–18 pulses of only 10–20 ms each, each pulse starting at about 2500–3000 Hz and dropping to 1000–2000 Hz. Other trills of similar length had 30 ms pulses with a consistent 2300 Hz frequency. Habitat. Clinotarsus alticola was found calling on streambanks throughout mature forest and on occasion in degraded forest. Otherwise it was found sitting at the edge of forest trails.

Identification. A brown (rarely green) frog with mottled black flanks and a thick dorsolateral fold which is the same color as the dorsum. It can be distinguished from the similar Sylvirana nigrovittata (Blyth, 1856) by a more distinct dorsolateral fold and the established species range (Hasan et al. 2011), and from Hylarana tytleri by being broader in head and body, darker in color, and lacking the white-gold coloration of the dorsolateral fold (Kabir et al. 2009). Calls were 0.8–1.4 seconds long with a pulse rate of 8–9 pulses/s with pulses which distinctly alternated in amplitude. Dominant frequency of the calls peaked at 2400–2800 Hz with a fundamental around 600–700 Hz. Habitat. This species was most often associated with streams and puddles in dried stream beds within mature forest. It was also found in streams in tea plantation and degraded forest and in paddy fields.

Identification. Hemidactylus platyurus is a brown to gray gecko with smooth dorsal scales and flattened tail with serrated edges (Das 2010). Habitat. This gecko was primarily encountered in mature forest, from dusk to night on tree trunks or fallen logs suspended above the ground, and occasionally in disturbed forest. This species was rarely found in village habitat and was generally only seen on buildings when they were surrounded by forest. While common in human habitat in many parts of its range, in LNP H. platyurus appears to be displaced there by H. frenatus.

Telomere resolution and genomic instability in mouse embryonic stem cells
Creators: name: Lisaingo, Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Proper segregation of replicated chromosomes is essential for cell division in all organisms. Linear eukaryotic chromosomes contain specialized protective structures at the chromosome ends, called telomeres, which are essential for maintaining genome stability. Telomere associations have been observed during key cellular processes including mitosis, meiosis and carcinogenesis. These telomere associations need to be resolved prior to cell division to avoid loss of telomere function. TRF1, a core component of the telomere protein complex shelterin, has been implicated as a mediator of telomere associations. To determine the effect of TRF1 protein levels on telomere associations, we used live-cell fluorescence microscopy to visualize telomeres and chromosome dynamics in cells expressing defined levels of TRF1. Elevated levels of TRF1 induced anaphase bridges containing thin “thread-like” stretches of TRF1 foci connecting segregating chromosomes. We also observed telomere aggregates, mitotic bypass, and TRF1 bridges persisting into the following cell cycle. To examine the role of TRF1 in these telomere associations, we generated a TRF1 protein which can be inducibly cleaved by TEV protease. Telomere aggregates appeared to resolve upon cleavage of TRF1 proteins, suggesting that telomere associations result primarily from protein interactions mediated by TRF1. The essential helicase RTEL1 was observed at the extremities of persistent TRF1 bridges, possibly indicating a function for RTEL1 in the resolution of TRF1-induced telomere associations. Taken together, our results demonstrate that precise regulation of TRF1 levels is essential for telomere resolution and mitotic segregation.

description: In this study, a new set of fifth-order Stokes wave solutions, incorporating the effects of a linear shear current, is derived by using the perturbation method originally proposed for pure waves that was recently published. The present solutions are checked against the existing experimental data, the third-order stream function solutions, as well as the numerical results. The comparisons demonstrate that the present solutions are more accurate in describing the velocity distributions during wave propagation, especially in strong following currents and negative vorticity conditions. Subsequently, the present solutions are used to investigate the fluid particle trajectories for different wave–current interaction conditions. The results indicate that the background vorticity can alter the patterns of fluid particle trajectories and the direction of Stokes drifts.
Characterization of ultrafine particulate matter from traditional and improved biomass cookstoves
Creators: name: Just, Brian Gary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Billions of people worldwide use biomass fires or cookstoves on a daily basis, with significant resultant contributions to emissions of global carbonaceous aerosols. The use of biomass as a fuel has an impact on local ecosystems, contributes to CO2 levels in the atmosphere, and black carbon (BC) and organic carbon (OC) affect the earth’s radiative balance. Widespread initiatives, including carbon funding programs, propose to replace traditional “three-stone” open fires with “improved” cookstoves designed to reduce fuel usage. While numerous studies investigate cookstove efficiency and publish emissions factors for gaseous pollutants and overall particulate matter (PM), there is a lack of focus on the size and nature of ultrafine particulate (UFP) emissions. This paper compares ultrafine emissions during steady combustion from a traditional three-stone fire and two improved stoves: a Rocket stove (“Chulika”) and a Gasifier stove (“Oorja”). An AVL emissions bench measured gaseous products. PM instrumentation included a TSI SMPS, TSI APS, TSI DustTrak DRX, Magee Scientific Aethalometer, and 47mm PTFE and quartz filters; a thermophoretic sampling device was employed to gather material for PM imaging using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The improved cookstoves demonstrated high combustion efficiency compared to the three-stone fire and are likely to reduce biomass consumption. Additionally, emitted PM mass was reduced by a significant amount. PM emissions from improved stoves had a higher proportion of BC compared with total PM, though there was relatively little variation in overall BC levels. The reduction in highly scattering OC that would accompany a large-scale shift towards usage of improved stoves could affect the earth’s radiative balance, but this merits investigation with consideration to other particle characteristics. Primary particles emitted from the improved stoves were smaller than those from the three-stone fire and appeared slightly less likely to coagulate into chain agglomerates. The observed shift towards greater quantities of smaller nanometer-sized particles could pose health concerns and is a point for further consideration by health scientists and reinforces the need for adequate ventilation for all cookstoves, independent of type.

Inspired by motile cells and bacteria, man-made microswimmers have been fabricated, and their motion in patterned surroundings has been experimentally studied. We propose to use self-driven artificial microswimmers for separation of binary mixtures of colloids. We revealed different regimes of separation including one with a velocity inversion. Our finding could be of use for various biological and medical applications.

Identification. Oreocryptophis porphyraceus is an unmistakable reddish-brown (one specimen) or tan (one specimen) snake with broad, dark-reddish crossbands lined with black, two thin, black dorsolateral stripes on the rear portion of the body, and a black postocular stripe on each side of the head split by a narrow, black line on the top of the head (Whitaker and Captain 2008). Taxonomic notes. This species was reported by us for the first time from Bangladesh (Nature Quest 2012), but without any associated specimen record. Here we provide the first vouchered record, which is 110 km northwest of the nearest reported locality in Vensang, Mizoram (Harit 2016). This record, at 50 m above sea level, is the first time that O. porphyraceus has been found at an elevation below 1,000 m (Whitaker and Captain 2008; Harit 2016). Habitat. This beautiful snake was found twice during the late monsoon, once in the roadkill survey and once in an opportunistic collection after it had been killed by a human. Both specimens were found in mature forest.

description: In the study of many-particle systems both the interaction of particles can be essential and such feature as their internal (composite) structure. To describe these aspects, the theory of deformed oscillators is very efficient. Viewing the particles as p,q-deformed bosons, in the corresponding p,q-Bose gas model we obtain in explicit form virial expansion along with the 2nd to 5th virial coefficients. The obtained virial coefficients depend on the deformation parameters p,q in the form symmetric under pq, and at p->1, q->1 turn into those known for usual bosons. Besides real parameters, we analyze the case of complex mutually conjugate p and q and find interesting implications. Also, the critical temperature is derived (for the p,q-Bose gas) and compared with the T_c of standard case of Bose condensation. Similar results are presented for the deformed Bose gas model of the Tamm-Dancoff type.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During the last fifteen years, algal virus ecology (Brussaard 1996, 2004), parasite activity (Chambouvet et al. 2008) and bacteria lysis (Roth et al. 2008 ; Wang et al. 2010) appeared as key factors for the phytoplankton bloom termination and for the phytoplankton species successions. In the same time, numerous papers illustrate the advantage of the dinoflagellates mobility in a competitive environment for light and nutrients (Yamazaki and Kamykowski, 2000 ; Ji and Franks, 2007). In this paper, we thus illustrate for the first time, the importance of the cells mobility according to the heterogeneity of the environment and an host/parasite dynamic. The host/parasite couple used is Alexndrium minutum and Amoebophrya sp.. This host/parasite dynamic was newly observed in the small estuary of the Penze river (Chambouvet et al., 2008) and appeared responsible for the dinoflagellate species successions in the last years. This theoretical study, using a 1D IBM model in idealised scenario, highlight the potential interactions between the host/parasite dynamic and the niche creation/separation by the physical environment in the water column and the behaviour. These interactions conduct to organisms coexistence or extinction in the sea water environment

description: We study the stability of static as well as of rotating and charged black holes in (4+1)-dimensional Anti-de Sitter space-time which possess spherical horizon topology. We observe a non-linear instability related to the condensation of a charged, tachyonic scalar field and construct "hairy" black hole solutions of the full system of coupled Einstein, Maxwell and scalar field equations. We observe that the limiting solution for small horizon radius is either a hairy soliton solution or a singular solution that is not a regular extremal solution. Within the context of the gauge/gravity duality the condensation of the scalar field describes a holographic conductor/superconductor phase transition on the surface of a sphere.

description: The FONT beam-based, intra-train feedback system has been designed to provide beam stability at single-pass accelerators, such as at the interaction point (IP) of the International Linear Collider. Two FONT feedback systems have been commissioned at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at KEK, Japan, and the operation, optimisation and performance of these systems is the subject of this thesis. For each system, the accelerator is operated with two-bunch trains with a bunch separation of around 200 ns, allowing the first bunch to be measured and the second bunch to be subsequently corrected. The first system consists of a coupled-loop system in which two stripline beam position monitors (BPMs) are used to characterise the incoming beam position and angle, and two kickers are used to stabilise the beam. A BPM resolution of about 300 nm has been measured. On operating the feedback system, a factor ∼ 3 reduction in position jitter has been demonstrated at the feedback BPMs and the successful propagation of this correction to a witness BPM located 30 m downstream has been confirmed. The second system makes use of a beam position measurement at the ATF IP that is used to drive a kicker to provide a local correction. The measurement is performed using a high-resolution cavity BPM with a fast decay time of around 20 ns designed to allow multiple bunches to be resolved. The linearity of the cavity BPM system and the noise floor of the electronics are discussed in detail. The performance of the BPM system under standard ATF operation and with the beam waist at the BPM is described. A BPM resolution of about 50 nm has been measured. This IP feedback system has been used to stabilise the beam position to the 75 nm level.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Fine resolution measurements of phytoplankton and physical parameters were made from 31 May to 14 June 2005 in the coastal upwelling system of the R´ıa de Pontevedra (NW Spain). A sequence of upwelling-relaxation-upwellingdownwelling events was recorded with a moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). During the upwelling pulses, Dinophysis acuminata populations were found aggregated in near-surface patches (up to 8 x103 cells L−1 ) located in the warmer (15-18◦C) surface (0-6 m) waters. In contrast, on 13 June 2005, when downwelling conditions occurred, D. acuminata reached its highest concentration (9 x 103 cells L−1 ) and spread in a near surface layer throughout the whole R´ıa. In this study, results from the examination of tides, currents, temperature, salinity, satellite images and wind records, together with the fine-scale vertical distribution of plankton species highlight the potential role of physical processes in promoting and transporting D. acuminata populations in the R´ıa de Pontevedra. Understanding both local fine-scale circulation patterns, regional physical processes and physical-biological coupling at different scales will improve our knowledge of the spatial and temporal occurrence of D. acuminata blooms in coastal upwelling systems

description: The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This article presents an extensive review of the physics of wind-blown sand and dust on Earth and Mars. Specifically, we review the physics of aeolian saltation, the formation and development of sand dunes and ripples, the physics of dust aerosol emission, the weather phenomena that trigger dust storms, and the lifting of dust by dust devils and other small-scale vortices. We also discuss the physics of wind-blown sand and dune formation on Venus and Titan.

description: Using a recently proposed gauge invariant formulation of light-cone averaging, together with adapted "geodesic light-cone" coordinates, we show how an "induced backreaction" effect emerges, in general, from correlated fluctuations in the luminosity distance and covariant integration measure. Considering a realistic stochastic spectrum of inhomogeneities of primordial (inflationary) origin we find that both the induced backreaction on the luminosity-redshift relation and the dispersion are larger than naively expected. On the other hand the former, at least to leading order and in the linear perturbative regime, cannot account by itself for the observed effects of dark energy at large-redshifts. A full second-order calculation, or even better a reliable estimate of contributions from the non-linear regime, appears to be necessary before firm conclusions on the correct interpretation of the data can be drawn.

description: Sibynophis collaris (Gray, 1853) Material examined. BANGLADESH • 1 adult; Sylhet Division, Moulvibazar District, Kamalganj Upazila, LNP, on trail near Janki Chora; 24°18.85′N, 091°47.15′E; 10 Aug. 2011; 15:00; photo voucher ZRC (IMG) 3.375. Identification. Sibynophis collaris is a slender brown snake with a slate-gray head, white supralabials, black nuchal mark on collar bordered behind with cream, and black spots forming a line on each side of a light venter. It differs from S. triangularis in having the black nuchal mark not triangular (Das 2010). Taxonomic notes. The presence of S. collaris in LNP was published as the first confirmed country record in Bangladesh (Rahman and Ahmed 2012b). Habitat. We usually found this species in mature forest, but sometimes it was found in disturbed forest, and one roadkill was adjacent to paddy fields.

description: We consider the theory for the high-dimensional generalized linear model with the Lasso. After a short review on theoretical results in literature, we present an extension of the oracle results to the case of quasi-likelihood loss. We prove bounds for the prediction error and $\ell_1$-error. The results are derived under fourth moment conditions on the error distribution. The case of robust loss is also given. We moreover show that under an irrepresentable condition, the $\ell_1$-penalized quasi-likelihood estimator has no false positives.

description: We show that almost all known lower bound methods for communication complexity are also lower bounds for the information complexity. In particular, we define a relaxed version of the partition bound of Jain and Klauck and prove that it lower bounds the information complexity of any function. Our relaxed partition bound subsumes all norm based methods (e.g. the factorization norm method) and rectangle-based methods (e.g. the rectangle/corruption bound, the smooth rectangle bound, and the discrepancy bound), except the partition bound. Our result uses a new connection between rectangles and zero-communication protocols where the players can either output a value or abort. We prove the following compression lemma: given a protocol for a function f with information complexity I, one can construct a zero-communication protocol that has non-abort probability at least 2^{-O(I)} and that computes f correctly with high probability conditioned on not aborting. Then, we show how such a zero-communication protocol relates to the relaxed partition bound. We use our main theorem to resolve three of the open questions raised by Braverman. First, we show that the information complexity of the Vector in Subspace Problem is Ω(n^{1/3}), which, in turn, implies that there exists an exponential separation between quantum communication complexity and classical information complexity. Moreover, we provide an Ω(n) lower bound on the information complexity of the Gap Hamming Distance Problem.

description: The kaonic 3He and 4He X-rays emitted in the 3d-2p transitions were measured in the SIDDHARTA experiment. The widths of the kaonic 3He and 4He 2p states were determined to be Gamma_2p(3He) = 6 \pm 6 (stat.) \pm 7 (syst.) eV, and Gamma_2p(4He) = 14 \pm 8 (stat.) \pm 5 (syst.) eV, respectively. Both results are consistent with the theoretical predictions. The width of kaonic 4He is much smaller than the value of 55 \pm 34 eV determined by the experiments performed in the 70's and 80's, while the width of kaonic 3He was determined for the first time.

Year: 2024
Subjects: Ecosystem observation, processes and dynamics

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The economic impacts caused by shellfish commercial bans due to harmful algal blooms (HAB) depend on the frequency and on the intensity of their occurrence. Shorter bans mainly affect cash flow of shellfish farming companies. Longer or high frequent events can lead to revenue losses as the consequence of the accumulation of unsold production. Moreover, at mid and long-run, recurrence of HAB may impact the consumer’s perception and hence lead to decreases of demand and market prices. Safeguard and accelerated detoxification mechanisms are technical responses to the sanitary closures. Safeguard consists in maintaining the cultivated bivalves on safety water circulated systems in case of HAB alarm. Detoxification consists in purifying the bivalves contaminated by forcing feeding and then increasing the animal metabolic functions. A successful implementation of these processes depends on their technical feasibility, on the regulatory compatibility and on their socioeconomic viability. The adoption of these technological changes drive to associated production costs and modifies the profitability thresholds. This paper only focuses on the socioeconomic viability analysis taking into account the economic heterogeneity of the French shellfish farming sector and the social impacts that this new production processes can provide. This paper is structured in two main components. Firstly, a technical-economic analysis will describe the different technical processes of safeguard and accelerated detoxification and will assess their associated costs. Secondly, their socioeconomic viability will be explored focusing on the case study of the Bourgneuf shellfish farming in Pays de la Loire (France).

description: Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires the world to adopt ‘green technologies’ such as renewable energies and electric transportation at an unprecedented scale. While many countries have implemented policies to spur the adoption of such technologies, a lack of focus has been placed on the sourcing of minerals that are required as inputs. As a result, there is likely to be a significant deficit that may constrain the adoption of green technologies. In this report, we argue that a neglected area in addressing the mineral scarcity challenge is the private sector’s current trajectory for geological mineral exploration and the lack of innovative initiatives on material efficiency and recycling. We propose a Smart Mineral Enterprise Development (SMED), which entails a partnership between public and private entities to consider pathways whereby public sector data sharing on geology can be coupled with research innovations in the private sector both upstream and downstream of mineral supply. Just as smart energy grids harness efficiencies in electricity supply and demand through a dynamic process of communication, SMED processes can do the same for key technological bottlenecks in mineral supply. We focus on cobalt to highlight the bottlenecks; identify alternative supply sources based on current exploration and recycling technologies; propose ways in which the international legal framework could be adapted to promote investments in critical minerals; and consider ways by which the public sector can assist the private sector in developing a SMED process that would bring forth more efficient and effective entrepreneurial activity to meet our green technology needs.
