description: Neohydatothrips basilaris (Hood)
(Figs 15, 45, 67, 84)
Sericothrips basilaris Hood, 1941: 139.
Female macroptera. Colour: body dark brown (Fig. 84), tergite X pale; fore wing uniformly dark with white subbasal area; antennal segments I–III (or IV) largely pale; hind femora and tibiae brownish yellow.
Structure: occipital apodeme confluent with posterior margin of eyes, ocellar area transversely striate (Fig. 15); antennal segments III & IV with constricted apical neck; pronotum with anterior area reticulate, blotch welldefined (Fig. 15); mesonotum and anterior part of metanotum closely striate (Fig. 45); metasternal plate with shallow emargination; fore wing second vein with 2 setae (Fig. 67); tergites II–VIII with comb of microtrichia complete on posterior margin but short on anterior tergites: tergite IX with 2 pairs of mid-dorsal setae.
Material studied. Holotype female, CUBA, San Vincente, 8–9 vii.1940 (USNM). BRAZIL, Santa Catarina State, Nova Teutônia [Seara], 14 females, 3 males, 1.i.1949 (F. Plaumann) (USNM).
Comments. This is a large dark brown species with much red internal pigment. Described from Cuba, but recorded from Panama and Costa Rica (Mound & Marullo 1996) and here from Brazil (Santa Catarina), the thoracic sculpture is almost unique in the genus (Fig. 15). As in N. fimbriatus, tergites II–VIII have a fringe of microtrichia medially on the posterior margin, although this fringe is short on the anterior tergites. Antennal segments III and IV both have a long slender apical neck.

Diagnosis: Solitary, with a short, non-contractile peduncle, with a generally bell-shaped body and a well-defined peristomial collar.
Type specie: Epistylis spheroides (Subsequent designation Jankwoski, 2009)
Remarks: initially described by Kent in (1881) as solitary “animalcules”, similar to those of the genus Vorticella, but with non-contractile peduncle. In a recent taxonomic study, Álvarez-Campos et al. (2014) defines the genus as solitary peritrich ciliates with short non-contractile peduncles, with a mainly bell-shaped body and a well-defined peristomial lip. Here we suggest Opisthostyla annulate as type species of Opisthostyla, this species was in the original genus description, have a decent diagnosis and attached graphic representation.

Fernández Vidal y A. Rodríguez Fandiño leg. Ejemplar conservado en alcohol de 70º en la colección particular del autor.
Se trata de una especie depredadora pequeña (2,1 mm), que caza agarrando a sus diminutas presas con las patas medias, pues los fémures están provistos de una espina robusta, y a continuación les clava la probóscide para succionarles los jugos internos del cuerpo.
La distribución geográfica conocida de esta especie, seḡn Chvála & Wagner (1989) y Chvála (2013), abarca el centro y norte de Europa: Alemania, Austria, Dinamarca, Finlandia, Gran Bretaña, Holanda, Irlanda, Noruega, Rep̄blica Checa y Suecia. En consecuencia, este género y especie se citan ahora por primera vez de la Península Ibérica (en el N.O.

The evolution of indigenous resistance in Bolivia
Creators: name: Tapia, Reynaldo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation describes the development and changes of nonviolent strategies of the indigenous people of Bolivia through crucial stages of Bolivian history and the social, cultural, and political effects this process has had in the country.  The study addresses the benefits and effectiveness of nonviolent resistance over violence and will detail the gradual evolutionary process of nonviolent techniques and strategies from the early implementation of simple roadblocks to a complex variety of methods ranging from numerous forms of organized strikes to massive marches and protests. The study focuses on the changes in nonviolent strategies by utilizing Charles Tilly’s concept of “repertoire of contention” (1986).  Repertoires are various tools of contention shared between social actors used to oppose a public decision they consider unjust or even threatening. The objective of this dissertation is to explain the shifts and changes in Bolivia’s repertoires throughout its history as violent forms of action which were primarily utilized during the initial stages of resistance had almost entirely disappeared and displaced by as a set of well-organized nonviolent campaigns.This dissertation is a single-country study that provides a contextual description of the changes and development of nonviolent resistance through four different stages of Bolivian history and the social, cultural, and political effects this process has had in the country.   The indigenous people of Bolivia utilized forms of resistance that were inherited from previous episodes as repertoires were often learned, shared and repeated.  The legacy of civil resistance has contributed and shaped the Bolivian national identity.

Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 1Ə (CB 8.9×CL 7.0 mm), NSMT-Cr 30746; 1 Ə (7.0×5.0 mm), NSMT-Cr 30747.
Remarks. The confused taxonomic history of this characteristic species was fully clarified by Ng (1989) who determined its systematic position to be in the family Pilumnidae, despite its unusual appearance. As depicted by Haswell (1882: pl. 1 fig. 4, as Pilumnus fimbriatus), Fulton and Grant (1906: pl. 4 fig. 5, as Cryptocoeloma fimbriatus), Ng (1989: figs. 1–3) and in the present paper (Fig. 16D–E), the frontorbital and anterolateral margins of the carapace are fringed with long, thick shaggy setae; in dorsal view (Fig. 16D), the details of the frontal and anterolateral margins are completely obscured by the setal fringe; in ventral view (Fig. 16E), the strongly flexed frontal margin is evidently divided into two lobes, and the carapace anterolateral margin is divided into three low lobes by two small interruptions.
Distribution. Queensland to Western Australia; Java. According to Ng (1989), C. haswelli appears to be a tropical littoral coral reef species. Otherwise, the habitat and depth records in the literature are as follows: coral reef (Haswell, 1882); 7–9 m at Thursday Island (Miers, 1884); 3 m at Denham, the administrative town for the Shire of Shark Bay (Balss, 1933); under rocks and corals at Linman Island (Ng, 1989). The specimen examined was obtained from a depth of 49 to 52 m.

Diagnosis: Size about 40–56µm. Short peduncle, 10µm in length, reaching the size of the body in some cases. Posterior section of the body interrupted by a transverse groove, which has been considered to be part of the peduncle. Very long infundibulum. Contractile vacuole wide with a very distinct excretory canaliculus. Elongated and bandshaped macronucleus, with small chromatin agglomerations. Found living on the integument of echinoderms.
Remarks: diagnosis compiled from Cuénot (1891), Hensen (1911) and Kahl (1935). Cuénot (1891) points to the possibility of a spherical micronucleus in the upper part of the body.

Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 2 ƏƏ (CB 10.4×CL 7.4 mm; 22.6× 16.2 mm), NSMT-Cr 30748; 1$ (17.8× 12.1 mm), NSMT-Cr 30749. — Sta. 30, 1Ə (CB 11.2×CL 7.9 mm), NSMT-Cr 30750.
Remarks. Glabropilumnus seminudus is characterized by the smooth carapace with a band of a close velvety pubescence along the carapace frontal and anterolateral margins (Fig. 16A–B), and the reticulated appearance of four longitudinal lines of granules on the palm outer surface (Fig. 16C). The setation of the carapace dorsal surface may be somewhat variable, with rather shorter and sparse setae in the present specimens different from the longish dense setae in the Arafura Sea specimens reported by Takeda and Miyake (1969c: pl. 1 fig. B). Good figures are otherwise given by the original author (Miers, 1884: pl. 22 fig. B, as Pilumnus), Rathbun (1923: pl. 24 figs. 1, 2, as Pilumnus), and Galil and Takeda (1988: figs. 3D, 5).
Distribution. Queensland, Australia; Torres Strait; Arafura Sea; Hong Kong; Makassar, Celebes. Edmondson (1952, 1962) recorded a specimen from biofouling on the hull of a barge in Pearl Harbor, Oahu Island, which had service in Guam for two years. The recorded bathymetric range is from 7 to 30 m depth. Davie (2002) listed this species as one of four Australian species of Glabropilumnus.

Essays on deep learning and asset pricing
Creators: name: Zhou, Bo
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation includes two essays. In the first essay, we take advantage of deep learning and utilize both the price and fundamental information to separate stocks’ winners from losers. For the first model, we used a 2-layer Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural network with past 80 days’ return information as inputs to predict the next day’s return and find a before-trading-cost monthly return of 29.58% with t-statistic of 26.81. For the second model, we design a novel 2-layer LSTM and Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) hybrid neural network and utilize the monthly return and annual accounting data to predict the returns in the next month. We achieve a monthly return of 2.37% with a t-statistic of 8.97 before trading cost from 1993 through 2017. We use TAQ intraday data to explicitly estimate the trading cost and find that the profits of the daily trading strategy in the first model turn negative. However, the trading strategy utilizing both the price and fundamental information in the second model keeps significantly positive with a monthly return of 1.57% and t-statistic of 6.03 after the trading cost. We show that the 2-layer LSTM and MLP hybrid model performs better than the MLP-only and the hand-engineering double sort trading strategy.In the second essay, we present an empirical test that casts doubt on the widely accepted belief that cash-flow beta can partly explain the value premium. We double sort the stocks with their value and quality dimension and obtain four corner portfolios: (A) expensive quality, (B) cheap junk, (C) cheap quality and (D) expensive junk stocks. Prior research has shown that the value premium concentrates on cheap quality minus expensive junk (i.e., undervalued minus overvalued) but is not significant in cheap junk minus expensive quality stocks. If cash-flow beta is the source of the value premium, we would expect a larger cash-flow beta difference between the cheap quality and expensive junk portfolio. However, our empirical test shows that  β_CF ((B)  cheap junk) - β_CF ((A)  expensive quality) ≫ β_CF ((C)  cheap quality) - β_CF ((D)  expensive junk). Therefore, our result may serve as evidence that the cash-flow beta may only spuriously explain the value premium.

The impact of indeterminate methods and results on decision-making in highway safety: spatial factors, model specification and measurement error

description: In highway safety practice, the conventional approach to improving safety by implementing road safety treatments is to use deterministic crash modification factors (CMF). The problem with these crash modification factors is that they are actually indeterminate. They are based on estimates of the associations of various road geometry attributes with crash frequency, which are derived from models that can be affected by many methodological and data problems. And since the methods employed are largely dependent on the analyst’s discretion, results can vary quite widely. The areas of model specification and data are two areas that are very much subject to the analyst’s discretion. Specifying crash models wrongly (introducing specification error) and using data with availability and quality problems (introducing measurement error) can cause erroneous inferences to be made about the results of safety countermeasures that are applied to highway segments, compounding the problem of crash occurrences and potentially creating inefficiency in road safety spending. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that they may be propagated as an industry standard through the existence of an expert manual. I have examined the specific specification error problem of omitted variable bias, where the associations of variables included in safety models are biased due to the omission of certain important variables, and the measurement error problems of data availability and quality. In examining these problems, I used a comparison method, where I compared the results of statistical models affected by the specification and measurement error problems to models where I have attempted to rectify the problems in order to see if there is an improvement in the results of the latter. My findings are mixed; results show no substantial change in the associations with crash frequency between models affected by specification and measurement error and models unaffected for certain variables and show notable change in association for other variables. I have also examined the implications of these problems in practice through interviews of safety practitioners and found that practical limitations preventing transportation agencies from addressing these problems exist.

Material examined. RV Hakuhō Maru KH-72-1 cruise, sta. 29, 2 ƏƏ(CB 8.4×CL 7.3 mm; 10.5× 8.4 mm, soft, deformed), 1$ (7.6× 7.5 mm), NSMT-Cr 30751. — Sta. 32, 1Ə (CB 5.1×CL 4.6 mm), NSMT-Cr 30752.
Remarks. Gonatonotus pentagonus was fully described and figured by Chia and Ng (2000), differing from two congeners, Gonatonotus granulosus (MacGilchrist, 1905) and G. nasutus Chia and Ng, 2000, in the frontal margin hardly reaching beyond the orbits. One of the specimens, a male from sta. 29, is soft-shelled and somewhat deformed, but another male (Fig. 13E) is in good condition and agrees well with the description, line drawings and photographs of many specimens, including the holotype, given by Chia and Ng (2000: figs. 16–19).
Distribution. Chia and Ng (2000) recorded many specimens from Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Australia, 9–54 m in depth.

subject: 150

description: Background: Preregistration, the practice of publishing a research plan before data collection or analysis, can help to reduce researcher degrees of freedom, but its value depends on whether researchers specify their study plan in sufficient detail and adhere to this plan. Previous findings indicate better, but still insufficient, specificity when preregistrations are based on structured compared to unstructured template formats. The planned study aims to build on these findings and investigate the specificity of preregistrations based on the PRP-QUANT Template, a comprehensive template that draws on insights from previous templates and aids the preregistration of quantitative studies in psychology. Additionally, we will inspect whether peer-review can help to restrict researcher degrees of freedom by comparing peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed preregistrations created with the PRP-QUANT Template. Lastly, adherence to the preregistered plans and risk of bias in reporting will be inspected in the publications associated with the examined preregistrations. Methods: Preregistrations based on the PRP-QUANT Template will be sampled from PsychArchives (non-peer-reviewed: n = 46, peer-reviewed: n = 27) and coded for their level of specificity using the coding scheme of Bakker et al. (2020) and Heirene et al. (2021). In addition, adherence and risk of bias in reporting will be coded for all identified accompanying publications. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U tests will be used to compare the median specificity scores of preregistrations based on the PRP-QUANT Template versus preregistrations based on the Prereg Challenge Registration, and peer-reviewed PRP-QUANT preregistrations versus non-peer-reviewed PRP-QUANT preregistrations. Adherence and risk of bias in reporting will be analyzed descriptively.

The enhancement of restoring asphalt core holes using the innovation of a cap device

description: Pavement maintenance is the key to pavement preservation. Effective pavement preservation programs integrate many maintenance strategies and treatments, such as preventive, corrective and emergency maintenance. However, a common practice in pavement construction, core hole testing, and often leaves newly constructed roadways vulnerable to premature damage that can inhibit effective pavement preservation.  There is no doubt that asphalt pavement needs to be tested for evaluation, verification and research purposes, and that core hole testing is a cost-effective and diagnostic method by which to verify asphalt properties, as dictated by the specifications, such as thickness, structural integrity, specific gravity, air void content and percent compaction. Nonetheless, Federal and State agencies currently enforce specific procedures for asphalt core hole restoration and the current construction practice for asphalt core hole restoration does not enforce proper compaction to the restoration fill material, adequate protection to the edge and tips of the existing structure resulting from core drilling and adequate aesthetic physical appearance of the pavement structure. The lack of proper restoration of asphalt core holes leads to multiple potential asphalt fatigues, such as partial weaknesses in pavement structures due to low compaction, initiation of cracking, spalling and/ or potholes at the edges of the existing surrounding pavement structure. Dispersion of the top surface of the core hole restoration material will also result to scattering of debris throughout the roadway, disintegration of restoration material from the existing paved structure and an overall poor physical appearance of the pavement structure. The need of inventing a new device to improve the core restoration procedures is crucial and much needed to enhance the construction practice of restoring and protecting asphalt core holes.  This study presents the development of the core hole Cap device in addition to full investigation of the technical and practical application and feasibility of the asphalt core hole Cap innovation. This study also presents a finite element modeling of the Cap device performance and a life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of the pavement structure using the Cap device. The Cap device for asphalt core holes should enhance the compaction of the asphalt core restoration material, enhance the physical appearance of pavements and protect asphalt core holes and hence, the pavement structure.
Wave induced oscillations in harbors with connected basins

description: A linear, inviscid theory, termed the coupled basins theory, has been developed to analyze the response to periodic incident waves of an arbitrary shape harbor containing several interconnected basins. The region of consideration is divided into an open-sea region and several inner-basin regions (the number depending on the harbor geometry). The solution in each region is formulated as an integral equation in terms of the normal velocity at the entrance and/or at the common boundaries between regions. An approximate method is used to solve the integral equation by converting it to a matrix equation. The initially unknown boundary condition at the entrance is determined by matching the wave amplitudes and their normal derivatives at the harbor entrance and at all the common boundaries. The solution for the response and the amplitude distribution within the complete harbor can then be obtained.

It has been found that the coupled-basins theory gives results which agree well with experiments both for an irregular shape harbor as well as for a harbor composed of two connected circular basins. Various aspects of the response of harbors composed of several types of circular connected basins as well as circular harbors with rectangular entrance channels have been investigated. It is found that to a first approximation the response of a coupled harbor system can be constructed by superposing the response of the individual harbors

Certain aspects of the effect of viscous dissipation on harbor resonance are discussed. Some attention is given to problems of scaling model results to the prototype harbor.

Process of creating a more efficient real-time quantitative PCR assay to detect Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Babesia microti, Borrelia burgdorferi, and Borrelia miyamotoi that inhabit deer ticks
Creators: name: Allan, Rachael

description: Ixodes scapularis, the most abundant tick species in New Jersey, is a vector for a host of human diseases, including Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, and B. miyamotoi. The prevalence of these diseases continues to steadily increase, and it has become critical to develop molecular methods to detect them. This project focuses on transitioning from a standard PCR and gel electrophoresis methodology to real-time PCR to screen for four common pathogens found in deer ticks – B. burgdorferi, B. miyamotoi, A. phagocytophilum, and B. microti. Primers and probes were created to target genes that were unique to each pathogen. They were tested using standard PCR and gel electrophoresis and were then optimized with real-time PCR using SYBR Green and TaqMan methodologies. The primer specificity was also assessed using tick DNA as a template utilizing a SYBR Green methodology. 158 deer ticks were tested for the presence of pathogens – 11.39% of deer ticks tested positive for B. burgdorferi, 6.33% tested positive for B. microti, 6.96% tested positive for B. miyamotoi, and 10.76% tested positive for A. phagocytophilum. With all of these steps completed, a multiplex PCR assay can be created to screen for all four pathogens in one single test tube.

Air-coupled surface wave testing of pavements
Creators: name: Al-Adhami, Hiba Hussein
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: One of the most important parameters in pavement evaluation is the elastic modulus. Significant efforts were put in the development and implementation of nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques for elastic modulus profiling of pavements. Spectral Analysis of Surface Waves (SASW) method is one of the successfully implemented methods. The method utilizes a phenomenon of dispersion of surface waves in layered systems. Once the dispersion curve, representing the surface wave velocity-frequency relationship, is measured, the elastic modulus profile is obtained through an inversion or backcalculation process. Traditional SASW test involves generation of surface wave by application of an impact on the pavement surface, and detection of the propagating waves by a series of sensors placed at various distances from the impact source on the pavement surface of the tested system. The non-contact or air-coupled SASW method is an extension of the traditional SASW method, where the leaky surface waves are detected using non-contact sensors, instead of the traditional contact sensors. The main objective of this study is to develop an automated system for pavement elastic modulus profiling based on air-coupled acoustic testing. To improve the speed and automate the modulus backcalculation process, an artificial neural network (ANN) based backcalculation of a pavement modulus profile was developed. Numerical simulations of the air-coupled SASW test using finite elements were used to develop training, testing and validation data sets. Several hundred finite element models of various pavement configurations were used to develop an extensive database of surface wave dispersion curves. The performance of developed ANN models was validated using both numerical and field test data. The validation using numerical data included backcalculation of profiles for synthetic pavement profiles not used in training and testing. The field validation was conducted using field test data collected by a built non-contact SASW testing system. The system was implemented on two pavement sections, which were also evaluated using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and the ultrasonic surface waves (USW) method to obtain pavement layer thickness and top layer modulus, respectively.
