(Fig. 75N).
Geographical distribution and bathymetry
Widely distributed across the Pacific (Japan, Philippines, Indonesia, Hawaii) and Indian Ocean (East and South Africa, including Madagascar and the Mascarenes). In New Caledonia it has been sampled in Norfolk Ridge, Loyalty Ridge and the Coral Sea, at depths between 0 to 500 m.
Remarks
Shell moderately small to medium-sized (maximum shell length 42 mm). Conical shell with a subangulate to angulate shoulder, and a low to moderate spire of concave profile. Multispiral protoconch. Last whorl colored pale yellow to red-orange. Radular tooth (Fig. 77N) with the anterior and posterior sections subequal in length. Tooth serrated with 22 rounded denticles arranged in one row, ending on a pointed cusp. Barb small. Blade rounded, covering about 70% of the anterior section of the tooth. Small basal spur present on top of the rounded base. The holotype of C. martensi in NHMUK is a dead and worn shell (Fig. 77I). Its conchological features are consistent with those of the widespread Indo-Pacific species Conus sazanka Shikama, 1970, which is considered a junior synonym. A DNA analysis shows that specimens from the SW Indian Ocean (Mozambique Channel) and the Western Pacific (New Caledonia) correspond to the same species (Supp. file 3).

description: Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) is a cellular mechanism for destroying mRNAs that contain premature termination codons. It is involved in the destruction of messages from mutated genes that encode truncated proteins. NMD is also tied to alternative splicing in that some mRNA isoforms generated by this process are substrates for the NMD pathway. NMD has been shown to be downregulated under hypoxic and amino acid deprivation conditions that are found in the tumor environment. Previous descriptions of NMD described it as essentially an all-or-none process, either a message is targeted for degradation or it is not. While studying alternative isoforms of genes generated by splicing in C. elegans, we uncovered three distinct pathways for NMD-targeted messages to follow: Strong NMD - efficient degradation of the PTC-containing isoform. Inefficient NMD - inefficient degradation of the PTC-containing isoform with the stabilized PTC- containing messages accumulating in what appears to be the monosome fraction. Regulated NMD - developmental regulation of NMD (NMD is more efficient in embryos and becomes progressively less efficient in later larval stages), with the potential for the PTC-containing messages to enter the polysome pool. This hypothesis of multiple NMD pathways is novel. We aim to further characterize this phenomenon and uncover the signals that guide entry of mRNAs into the different NMD pathways. Further exploration of the distinct NMD pathways in C. elegans will help to inform studies in cancer cells about the responses of various genes to regulated changes in NMD efficiency

description: While most studies exploring cancer progression have focused on the influence of individual genes, few efforts have investigated the effects of interactions between genes within the genome. Our hypothesis is that cancer cells thrive by exploiting combinations of genes, in fact, genetic networks that both protect the cell from destruction and enhance its survival. We believe these networks involve genes that tend to be coordinated in their copy number alterations, even when they are located at a distance on the genome. Radiation hybrid (RH) cells have a random assortment of genes as triploid rather than diploid. Our recent work studying genetic networks that exist within libraries of RH cells have elucidated key survival-enhancing interactions with astounding specificity (Lin et al., 2010). Because of the hardiness of the RH clones, statistically significant patterns of co-inherited unlinked triploid gene pairs pointed to the cell's survival mechanism. We identified over 7.2 million significant interactions using the RH data. We believe this approach provides the rationale for an investigation of cancer survival networks, and we believe in particular, glioblastoma multiforme, a formidable cancer with extensive data sets and few treatment options, offers an ideal opportunity to understand the genetic survival networks that allow this cancer to survive. By elucidating these networks, we believe we will gain insight into cancer proliferation and open up new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

(Fig. 7)
Holotype worker. TL 2.8, HL 0.70, HW 0.66, CI 94, SL 0.48, SI 73, PW 0.48, AL 0.78.
Mandibles smooth with scattered pits, without longitudinal striation. Anterior clypeal margin with a median notch or impression. Frontal carinae moderately well developed, extending back almost to the occiput, but becoming confused with the remaining cephalic sculpture before reaching it. Antennal scrobes broad and shallow, without delimited ventral or posterior margins. In full-face view the occipital margin broadly concave, the sides of the head evenly convex and the head narrower in front of the eyes than behind. Dorsal alitrunk in profile evenly convex, the propodeum armed with a pair of straight narrow spines. Metapleural lobes triangular and acute. Node of petiole high and narrow, shaped as in Fig. 7; in dorsal view subglobular, very slightly broader than long. Dorsum of head irregularly longitudinally rugulose, the rugulae fine and widely separated and the interspaces with distinct granular or punctulate ground-sculpture. Dorsal alitrunk covered with irregular fine rugulae which form a disorganized and very broken reticulum, the spaces between them with feeble ground-sculpture which is weaker than on the head. Petiole, postpetiole and gaster unsculptured. Dorsal surfaces of head, alitrunk, petiole and postpetiole with numerous erect fine long hairs and also with scattered pubescence, also erect or suberect. First gastral tergite with abundant subdecumbent pubescence, but without long hairs such as are obvious on the dorsal alitrunk and fringing the remaining gastral segments. Colour orange-brown.
Paratype workers. TL 2.8 - 2.9, HL 0.68 - 0.70, HW 0.62 - 0.66, CI 90 - 94, SL 0.46 - 0.50, SI 73 - 78, PW 0.47 - 0.50, AL 0.70 - 0.78 (11 measured). As holotype.
Holotype worker, Madagascar: La Mandraka, 1280 m, 8. ii. 1977, leaf litter, mont, forest, AB 41 nest in seed capsule in litter (W. L. & D. E. Brown) (MCZ, Cambridge). Paratypes. 16 workers and 1 dealate female, with same data as holotype (MCZ, Cambridge; BMNH).
Among the species of the schaufussi-group which lack long hairs on the first gastral tergite, naganum is unique in having fine long hairs present on the propodeum, petiole and postpetiole. As in cognatum, pubescence on the first gastral tergite is dense and somewhat elevated, not minute, scattered and appressed as in proximum.

Essays on the semantics of modality
Creators: name: Miller, Zachary John
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: This is a dissertation on the semantics of modality and related topics. Each of the three chapters takes aim one of the most widely held assumptions concerning the semantics of modality. The assumption is criticized, and a replacement is developed to take its place.     In the first chapter I take up the idea that permission should be semantically analyzed as existential quantification over possibilities. I argue that we should instead adopt an analysis involving universal quantification. The difference between permission and obligation is not one of quantificational strength, but rather one of quantificational structure. I conclude by considering how these arguments might be generalized to every flavor of modality.     In the second chapter I continue with the topic of modal flavors, and I ask how we should differentiate these flavors. The traditional approach to flavor differentiation locates all flavor differences in the modal semantics: modal claims differ in flavor because they differ in meaning. I argue against this approach. I argue that the vast majority of flavor differences are not semantic differences.    In the third chapter I take up the idea, ubiquitous in philosophy and linguistics, that one can use Gricean pragmatics to explain away recalcitrant data concerning the acceptability of inferences. This move, already discussed at length in chapter one, is commonly employed in debates over the semantics of modality. I argue that many of these pragmatic "rescues" are misguided. More specifically, I argue that when we can reformulate recalcitrant data in non-conversational terms (e.g., epistemological or metaphysical terms), then a pragmatic explanation of the data is out of place.
Differential privacy: an exploration of the privacy-utility landscape

description: Facilitating use of sensitive data for research or commercial purposes, in a manner that preserves the  privacy of participating entities, is an active area of study. Differential privacy is a popular, relatively recent, framework that formalizes data privacy. In this dissertation, I examine the often conflicting goals of privacy and utility within the framework of differential privacy. The contributions of this dissertation fall into two  main categories:    1) We propose differentially private algorithms for several tasks that could potentially involve sensitive data, such as synthetic graph modeling, human mobility modeling using cellular phone data, regression, and computing statistics on online data. We study the tradeoff between privacy and utility for these analyses—theoretically in some cases, and experimentally in others. We show that for each of these tasks, both privacy and utility can be successfully achieved by considering a meaningful tradeoff between the two.    2) We also examine connections between information theory and differential privacy, demonstrating how differential privacy arises out of a tradeoff between information leakage and utility. We show that differentially private mechanisms arise out of minimizing the information leakage (measured using mutual information) under the constraint of achieving a given level of utility. Further, we establish a connection  between differentially private learning and PAC-Bayesian bounds.

Characterization of the arsenate and selenate reducing bacterial community of agricultural soils of the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam
Creators: name: Mishra, Pooja
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Arsenic and selenium occur as metalloids in the Earth’s crust and microorganisms can utilize the oxyanions of arsenic and selenium as terminal electron acceptors for respiration in the process of dissimilatory reduction. In this study the microbially mediated reduction of selenium and arsenic in agricultural soils of the Mekong River delta, Vietnam was investigated. By employing culture dependent enrichment setup and terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) community fingerprinting, we have been able to show the microbially mediated reduction of As and Se oxyanions in agricultural soils and sediments of staple crops such as rice and cabbage. An arsenate and selenate reducing bacterium belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae was isolated from the rice soil irrigated by ground water. Microbially mediated transformations of As and Se may modulate the toxicity of these elements and change their mobility and bioavailability, which affects their translocation and accumulation in plants. This study is providing preliminary information on the role of bacteria in As and Se biotransformation in agricultural soils of the Mekong river delta.

description: Uncontrolled proliferation is a hallmark of cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in maintaining uncontrolled, cancerous, cell proliferation remain unclear. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of epigenetic processes, whereas the role of lncRNAs in human diseases, in particular cancer, is only now being studied. We have identified the lncRNA SCIROCCO (SCIR) in human embryonic teratocarcinoma cells, which acts as a protagonist of cancerous cell proliferation. SCIR represses the expression of the homeotic genes HOXA1 and HOXA2. RNAi-mediated destruction of SCIR triggers activation of HOXA1 and HOXA2 and attenuation of cell proliferation, indicating that SCIR is involved in maintaining the uncontrolled proliferation of human cancer cells. The specific aims of this proposal have been designed to dissect the role of SCIR in maintenance of cancerous cell proliferation. Aim 1. Role of SCIR in cancerous cell proliferation in the model system mouse: We shall use xenograft-like assays to assess whether RNA-mediated destruction of SCIR attenuates cancerous cell proliferation in the model system mouse. Aim 2. To dissect the molecular mechanism underlying SCIR-dependent cell proliferation: We shall use RNAi assays to investigate whether SCIR maintains cell proliferation by repressing the expression of the homeotic genes HOXA1 and/or HOXA2, or other unknown target genes. Aim 3. To identify genes involved in cancerous cell proliferation: We shall combine transcription profiling with functional assays to identify genes, whose actvities are controlled by SCIR, HOXA1, and/or HOXA2 and involved in maintaining cancerous cell proliferation. Accomplishing the described aims will provide novel insights into the role of lncRNAs in cancer by demonstrating that the lncRNA SCIR maintains cancerous cell proliferation The results of this project will establish a foundation for the functional dissection of lncRNAs in cancer and the development of lncRNA-based therapeutic assays that abrogate cancerous cell growth.

Holotype worker. TL 3.5, HL 0.82, HW 0.72, CI 88, SL 0.58, SI 80, PW 0.56, AL 1.02.
Mandibles smooth with scattered small pits. Clypeus with a distinct median notch or impression and developed median carina. Frontal carinae strong, extending back well behind the posterior margins of the eyes, the two carinae nearly parallel, only slightly divergent posteriorly. Scrobes shallow but well differentiated, capable of containing the scape. Pronotal corners angulate in dorsal view. Metanotal groove a broad, shallow impression; propodeal spines quite short, stout and acute, the metapleural lobes broadly triangular, almost but not quite as long as the propodeal spines. Node of petiole in profile high, narrow, the anterior and posterior faces more or less parallel, the dorsum convex (Fig. 6). In dorsal view the outline of the node almost circular, only a very little broader than long. Dorsum of head longitudinally rugose, the dorsal alitrunk with a strong rugoreticulum. Pedicel and gaster unsculptured, completely smooth, shining. Dorsum of head and promesonotum with a number of erect to suberect fine long hairs, the propodeum, pedicel and first gastral tergite without hairs but the last with sparse fine, very short, appressed pubescence. Remaining gastral tergites with long hairs as on promesonotum. Colour light brown, shiny.
Paratype workers. As holotype but varying in colour from light to quite dark brown, the most deeply coloured specimens with a reddish tinge on the alitrunk. Dimensions in range TL 3.2 - 3.5, HL 0.76 - 0.82, HW 0.64 - 0.70, CI 82 - 89, SL 0.54 - 0.58, SI 80 - 85, PW 0.48 - 0.56, AL 0.92 - 1.00 (10 measured).

This is one of the four species constituting the cognatum complex within the schaufussi-group, and as such lacks pilosity on the first gastral tergite. The separation of proximum is dealt with under the discussion of cognatum, but it can be noted here that good diagnostic characters of proximum within its species-group include absence of pilosity on propodeum, pedicel and first tergite coupled with a distinct rugoreticulum on the promesonotum and very dilute short gastral pubescence which is appressed.

Optimal control, investment and utilization schemes for energy storage under uncertainty
Creators: name: Mirhosseini, Niloufar Sadat
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2013

description: Energy storage has the potential to offer new means for added flexibility on the electricity systems. This flexibility can be used in a number of ways, including adding value towards asset management, power quality and reliability, integration of renewable resources and energy bill savings for the end users. However, uncertainty about system states and volatility in system dynamics can complicate the question of when to invest in energy storage and how best to manage and utilize it.   This work proposes models to address different problems associated with energy storage within a microgrid, including optimal control, investment, and utilization. Electric load, renewable resources output, storage technology cost and electricity day-ahead and spot prices are the factors that bring uncertainty to the problem. A number of analytical methodologies have been adopted to develop the aforementioned models. Model Predictive Control and discretized dynamic programming, along with a new decomposition algorithm are used to develop optimal control schemes for energy storage for two different levels of renewable penetration. Real option theory and Monte Carlo simulation, coupled with an optimal control approach, are used to obtain optimal incremental investment decisions, considering multiple sources of uncertainty. Two stage stochastic programming is used to develop a novel and holistic methodology, including utilization of energy storage within a microgrid, in order to optimally interact with energy market. Energy storage can contribute in terms of value generation and risk reduction for the microgrid.  The integration of the models developed here are the basis for a framework which extends from long term investments in storage capacity to short term operational control (charge/discharge) of storage within a microgrid. In particular, the following practical goals are achieved: (i) optimal investment on storage capacity over time to maximize savings during normal and emergency operations; (ii) optimal market strategy of buy and sell over 24-hour periods; (iii) optimal storage charge and discharge in much shorter time intervals.

description: Tetramorium schaufussi Forel
Tetramorium (Xiphomyrmex) schaufussi Forel, 1891 a: 158. Holotype worker, Madagascar: central province (C. Schaufuss) (MHN, Geneva) [examined].
Tetramorium (Xiphomyrmex) nassonowii Forel, 1892: 521. Syntype workers, Madagascar: Foret d'Andrangoloaka (Sikora) (MHN, Geneva) [examined]. Syn. n.
Worker. TL 3.3 - 40, HL 0.78 - 0.98, HW 0.70 - 0.86, CI 87 - 90, SL 0.54 - 0.64, SI 73 - 77, PW 0.52 - 0.66, AL 0.98 - 1.10 (7 measured).
Mandibles smooth with scattered small pits. Median clypeal carina poorly developed or absent. If the former then the carina is no stronger than the remaining clypeal sculpture and cannot be distinguished from it. Frontal carinae extended back behind level of eyes but only weakly developed, the scrobes broad, shallow and poorly defined. Propodeal spines short, triangular, usually shorter than the broadly triangular metapleural lobes, more rarely about as long as the lobes. Head with fine longitudinal rugulae dorsally, the dorsal alitrunk predominantly longitudinally rugose but with some reticulation usually on the anterior pronotum and the propodeum. Pedicel and gaster unsculptured, smooth and shining. All dorsal surfaces of head and body with numerous fine hairs, erect to suberect.
T. schaufussi and sikorae form a close species-pair within the schaufussi-group and in general have a very similar appearance. They both belong to the sikorae-complex of species, characterized by the presence of hairs on the first gastral tergite, and this complex also includes xanthogaster which is easily separated (see under sikorae). T. sikorae and schaufussi are best separated by their pilosity as on the dorsal promesonotum pilosity in sikorae is sparse, restricted to some 2 - 3 pairs (rarely 4) situated on the margins anteriorly and laterally, whereas in schaufussi the promesonotum has numerous hairs which arise all over the surface.
Material examined
Madagascar: no loc. (Staudinger); no. loc (Sikora).

description: Subgenus Taranteconus Azuma, 1972
According to Phuong et al. (2019), Conus (Taranteconus) chiangi (Azuma, 1972), which is the type species of the (sub)genus Taranteconus, is sister to a clade containing the Indo-Pacific species assigned to the (sub)genus Rhombiconus Tucker & Tenorio, 2009. These two groups are sister to another clade composed of western Atlantic and eastern Pacific species of cones, including Conus (Stephanoconus) regius Gmelin, 1791, the type species of the (sub)genus Stephanoconus M̂rch, 1852. All these species from very distant geographic areas had so far been lumped in the supraspecific taxon Stephanoconus. In addition to the geographic separation, the species in Taranteconus exhibit very distinct shell and radular morphologies which allow a clear separation from species in Stephanoconus and also from Rhombiconus (Tucker & Tenorio 2013). Hence, the phylogenetic relationship between the (sub) genera Taranteconus, Rhombiconus and Stephanoconus is formally analogous to that existing between Kurodaconus, Mitraconus and Turriconus (see above). For this reason, we hereby consider Taranteconus a valid supraspecific taxon, rather than a synonym of Stephanoconus.

description: Aside from the malignancy itself, chemotherapy-associated infections are a prime cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer patients. Cytotoxic chemotherapy produces both neutropenia and mucositis, which together make patients extremely vulnerable to infections with commensal microorganisms that are part of the normal human microbiome. The most common gastrointestinal commensal to cause disseminated infections is not a bacterium but the yeast, Candida albicans. Fungal infections carry an especially high mortality and are difficult to diagnose and treat. Clinical options are limited in part because of our poor understanding of the mechanisms underlying the commensal-to-pathogen transition. We seek to create a mouse model of cyclophosphamide-induced disseminated candidiasis and to use this model to screen a library of C. albicans mutants for fungal genes that promote escape from the gut lumen and dissemination to internal organs of the host. Our experimental objective is to test the hypothesis that specific C. albicans virulence factors mediate the transition from commensalism to virulence in a neutropenic host. Using an established protocol, we will expose our existing mouse model of gastrointestinal candidiasis to the chemotherapeutic agent, cyclophosphamide, to induce neutropenia, mucositis, and disseminated fungal infection. We will then use this neutropenic host to screen our library of more than 700 barcoded homozygous knockout mutants of C. albicans. Gastrointestinal infections will be performed with pools of 48 barcoded C. albicans strains, and, after the infections have disseminated, the abundance of each mutant in the infecting inoculum versus in host internal organs (liver, kidney) will be determined by quantitative PCR. Within one year, we expect to develop the neutropenic mouse model and perform the genetic screen. Subsequent experiments will pinpoint C. albicans mutants defective in transmigration through the gut wall, dissemination through the bloodstream, invasion of internal organs, and propagation in these organs. These experiments are anticipated to provide the first glimpse into the mechanisms by which a human gut commensal becomes an invasive pathogen in the context of cancer chemotherapy. Our ultimate goal is to translate this knowledge into improved prophylaxis for these infections, as well as better diagnostic and treatment tools.

description: Allenes display a broad range of intrinsic anti-cancer activity. Adding an allenic moiety to make aromatic ethers from simple phenols changed their activity profile from inactive against skin cancer (>200 µM) to active against KB (IC50 = 17 µM) and KBv200 (IC50 = 18 µM) cells. Biologically- active allenic natural products are often found in enantioenriched form, but few methods exist to synthesize chiral allenes as potential small molecule drug targets. Simple a-amino acid allenes, as in 2-amino-2-(3-amino-n-propyl)penta-3,4-dienoic acid, inhibit amino acid (mammalian ornithine) decarboxylase activity. A variety of a-amino allenes have inhibited the growth of cancer cells in rat tissue culture, but there is almost no information on the activity of ß-amino allenes. This is a problem rooted in organic synthesis, which has yet to provide efficient procedures to access even simple allenes. The synthesis of a racemic ß-amino allene currently requires 7 steps: 5 steps to the corresponding ß-hydroxy allene followed by 2-steps to replace the alcohol with an amine. This project develops a new, modular copper-catalyzed method of forming enantioenriched ß-amino allenes from simple, achiral starting materials. The asymmetric addition of a terminal alkyne to an imine followed by in situ coupling of a vinyl halide and aza-Claisen rearrangement and reduction provides an enantioenriched ß-amino allene in a single synthetic operation. The improved access to these compounds with potential as anti-cancer therapies will facilitate their testing on a mouse glioma model by Prof. Emma Wilson in the Division of Biomedical Sciences at UCR. Furthermore, two interim methods ensure that these amino-allenes will be available for testing regardless of whether the chemical goals are reached. From the first day of this grant, the 7-step method for the synthesis of racemic ß-amino allenes will be carried out to provide batches of small molecules for preliminary in vitro assays. As the structural diversity of this lengthy synthesis is also limited by harsh conditions, the N-vinylated propargylamines that the Larsen group has already synthesized will be subjected to a variety of conditions to promote rearrangement to amino allenes.

(Fig. 8)
Xiphomyrmex severini Emery, 1895 b: 343. Syntype workers, Madagascar: Diego-Suarez, 1893 (C. Alluaud) (MCSN, Genoa; MHN, Geneva) [examined].
Worker. TL 4.5, HL 1.06, HW 0.94, CI 89, SL 0.76, SI 81, PW 0.72, AL 1.30.
Mandibles smooth with scattered small pits. Anterior clypeal margin with a distinct median indentation, the median clypeal carina strongly developed. Frontal carinae long and strong, the extensions forming the upper border of the scrobe which is capable of holding the scape. Metanotal groove distinct with alitrunk in profile. Propodeal spines long and acute, the metapleural lobes low and rounded. Dorsum of head with spaced-out longitudinal rugae which tend to peter out as they approach the occipital margin, the spaces between the rugae with some fine, superficial puncturation. Dorsal alitrunk mostly unsculptured and shining, with scattered, very faint, low rugulae which are almost completely effaced. Pedicel and gaster unsculptured, smooth and shining. Dorsal surfaces of head and alitrunk with scattered fine, elongate hairs, which are also present on the gastral tergites behind the first; pedicel and first gastral tergite without hairs. Colour black or blackish brown, uniform or with the gaster slightly lighter in shade than the alitrunk.
In his original description Emery was of the opinion that this species was related to andrei and latreillei but this has proved not to be the case as in both those species the mandibles are striate and the petiole nodes angular and sculptured, whereas in severini the mandibles are smooth and the petiole node is rounded and unsculptured, showing that the true affinities of severini lie with the members of the schaufussi-group and particularly with the small complex of species related to cognatum in which gastral pilosity is lost from the first tergite. The four species included in this complex are discussed under cognatum.
