Hemiclepsis marginata casmiana Oka (1917): Lukin (1976): 223.
Morphology. Our sample fits well with the original description (Oka 1910, 1928). Body elongate; dorsal side convex; ventral side flat; papillae lacking. Head slightly wider than the next area, with two pairs of eyespots; the first pair of eyespots strongly reduced, punctiform. Dorsal side brownish with five longitudinal yellow or whitish stripes; ventral side without bands or spots of another color. Anterior and posterior suckers circular; posterior sucker with pale brown radial bars dorsally. There are no similar species in the genus Batracobdella. Based on the morphological features, i.e., number and disposition of eyespots and clearly expressed pattern of markings, this species is closely related to Hemiclepsis marginata (Müller, 1774) and, especially, to its subspecies from northern India, H. marginata asiatica Moore, 1924 (Moore 1924; Oka 1928). The primary difference of B. kasmiana from H. marginata asiatica is the specific lifestyle in the mantle cavity of mussels (Oka 1928).
Distribution. Japan (Honshu), China (Shandong, Henan, Hebei, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Taiwan), and the Far East of Russia (Primorsky Krai). Hosts: Unionidae (Sinanodonta spp., Cristaria plicata, Nodularia douglasiae, and Middendorffinaia mongolica), and Margaritiferidae (Margaritifera dahurica).
Remarks. With respect to morphological features, B. kasmiana appears to be a member of its original genus, Hemiclepsis Vejdovsky, 1884, which has been incorrectly transferred to Batracobdella. However, this preliminary assumption needs to be confirmed using a molecular approach. Yang (1996) also found an external resemblance between B. kasmiana and H. marginata, but he notes that their internal structures are different.

description: 1. This study evaluated the effects and mechanisms of action of the peptide gADP3 on hepatic inflammatory injury induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). 2. Hepatic inflammatory injury was induced in geese by intraperitoneal injection of LPS and gADP3, and the adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon (positive control) was used for potential amelioration. Serum inflammatory factor levels, liver function-related biochemical indicators and oxidative stress-related biochemical parameters in the liver tissues were determined. The expression levels of adiponectin and its receptors, inflammation and oxidative stress-related genes and key signalling molecules involved in adiponectin, inflammation and oxidative stress signalling pathways in liver tissues were detected. 3. The peptide gADP3 alleviated inflammatory cell infiltration and hepatic inflammatory changes, reversed the decrease in serum albumin (ALB), total protein (TP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) content or activity induced by LPS and increased the activity of the antioxidant enzymes CAT (catalase), SOD (superoxide dismutase) and GSH-Px (glutathione peroxidase). 4. The peptide gADP3 upregulated the expression of antioxidant enzyme-related genes GCLC, HO-1 and NQO1 in liver tissues, decreased the levels of inflammatory factors like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IFN-γ and TGF-β and reduced mRNA expression levels of inflammatory-related genes TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS and TGF-β. Additionally, it increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of adiponectin and its receptors, as well as key molecules in the adiponectin signalling pathway like AMPK and PPARα. In addition, gADP3 reversed the changes in mRNA or protein expression of inflammatory and oxidative stress signalling pathway-related genes P38MAPK, NF-κBP65, TLR4 and Nrf2 in liver tissues caused by LPS treatment. 5. In conclusion, goose-derived adiponectin peptide gADP3, similar to the adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon, attenuated LPS-induced hepatic inflammatory injury in geese.

description: 1. This study calculated descriptive statistics for the production traits of two broiler populations: 1) the Northeast Agricultural University broiler lines divergently selected for abdominal fat content (NEAUHLF white broilers), including fat and lean lines; and 2) the Guangxi yellow broilers. Their genetic parameters were estimated, including (co)variance components, heritability (h2) and genetic correlations (rg), using the REML method. 2. Heritability estimates (h2) for NEAUHLF white broilers ranged from 0.07 to 0.61. Traits with high heritability (h2 >0.3) included body weight at 3, 5 and 7 weeks of age (BW3, BW5, BW7), carcass weight (CW), metatarsal circumference (MeC), liver weight (LW), gizzard weight (GW), spleen weight (SW) and testis weight (TeW), while in Guangxi yellow broilers, heritability estimates ranged from 0.18 to 0.76, with every trait exhibiting high heritability, except for SW (0.18). 3. Positive genetic correlations for NEAUHLF were found (rg >0.3, ranging from 0.31 to 0.84) between BW7 and metatarsal length (MeL), MeC, body oblique length (BoL), chest angle (ChA), LW, GW, heart weight (HW) and SW. Genetic correlations between abdominal fat weight (AFW) and BW1, BW3, BW5, CW, MeL, keel length (KeL), BoL and LW were positive (rg >0.3, ranging from 0.31 to 0.58). 4. Among the Guangxi population, BW (125 d of age) showed strong positive genetic correlations with all other traits (rg >0.3, ranging from 0.30 to 0.99), while AFW displayed strong positive genetic correlations with leg muscle weight (LeW), CW, BW and thigh diameter (TD) (rg >0.3, ranging from 0.44 to 0.51). 5. It was concluded that the characteristics of the two populations were different, which means there is a need to use different strategies when performing the breeding work to improve productivity and efficiency in both broiler populations.

description: The synthesis of defined oligosaccharides is a complex task. Several enabling technologies have been introduced in the last two decades to facilitate synthetic access to these valuable biomolecules. In this concept, we describe the technological solutions that have advanced glycochemistry using automated glycan assembly, flow chemistry and data science as examples. We highlight how the synergies between these different technologies can further advance the field, with progress toward the realization of a self‐driving lab for glycan synthesis.

description: 1. This study compared two broiler housing models with different technologies (conventional versus fully automated climate control) to verify their performance and carcass characteristics at slaughter, as well as the economics of production. 2. A database regarding 20 443 flocks of heavy broilers produced in an integrated operation during the years 2020 and 2021, in eight Brazilian regions was used in the analysis. The dependent variables included feed conversion, average live weight gain, total and partial carcass condemnation and the total mortality. For economic analysis, the production cost of each technology including feed, labour, energy, heating and depreciation was calculated. 3. The technology used in the broiler houses had a significant effect on the technical indicators which were positive for fully automated climate control in most geographical regions. One important exception was the effect on total and partial carcass condemnations, with better results seen for conventional housing. The total cost per ton of broiler meat delivered, deducting condemnation losses, was lower in the automated climate controlled housing compared to conventional housing. 4. In conclusion, there was a reduction in broiler chicken production costs for birds raised in fully automated climate controlled housing, indicating better economic results for this model in Brazil.

description: 1. Monitoring behavioural dynamics in complex animal environments, such as poultry breeding facilities, poses a challenge. Utilising technological approaches, such as accelerometers, offers a solution to assess long-term changes in reproductive activity at an individual bird level. Specifically, these sensors measure acceleration associated with the position and movements of the body over time. However, it is important to assess the most suitable method for attaching accelerometer tags to ensure they do not negatively impact behaviour and yield high-quality data. 2. The potential of tri-axial accelerometer tags for assessing reproductive behaviour in Japanese quail was evaluated. Two attachment methods – a backpack (plastic platform with elastic bands near wing bases) and a patch (accelerometer on fabric glued to the synsacrum region) – were compared. Controls were handled similarly but without tags. Eighteen pairs of females were housed in pens and assessed immediately and 24 h after handling. After a week of habituation, a male from the same treatment group was introduced into each pen on d 8. The reproductive behaviour of the males was recorded using accelerometers and video recordings. 3. The results showed that birds with patches were able to remove their conspecific’s accelerometer and displayed an increased initial immobility response compared to the control and backpack groups. The presence of accelerometer tags did not impact male/female reproductive interactions nor fear responses to a novel object. From accelerometer recordings, male reproductive behaviour was easily identified as high amplitude fluctuations in the three axial components of the acceleration vectors, which was reflected as large values of dynamic body acceleration (VeDBA). 4. In conclusion, the use of backpacks with accelerometers is a useful strategy to address highly relevant and difficult to tackle behavioural topics such as the temporal dynamic of male reproductive behaviour within breeding groups.

Remarks. These specimens resemble Askola paprockii Domínguez, Molineri & Mariano 2009 based on the genitalia observed. The main differences are in the distribution of the large spots of the forewings (present at the cross veins close to the bifurcation of MP on A. paprockii versus absent at the cross veins close to the bifurcation of MP on Askola sp.), the pattern of marks on the abdomen and the general coloration (yellowish-white with grayish marks on A. paprockii versus brown with dark brown marks on Askola sp.). This morphospecies shares several similarities with A. paprockii, a species known exclusively by two male imago specimens. To confirm the status of new species, a comparison with additional and fresh material of A. paprockii would be necessary. It was found in only one site located in an area with Cerrado influence.

description: This study assessed the in vitro anti-diabetic potential and bioactive constituents of ten Sri Lankan medicinal herbs. Initial screening of aqueous extracts for starch-digesting enzyme inhibition prioritised three plants with notable activity (p ≤ 0.05), for further assessment using methanolic extracts: Phyllanthus emblica (PE), Cassia auriculata (CA), and Hemidesmus indicus (HI). The selected plants were tested for starch-digesting enzyme inhibition, cytotoxicity, and bioactive metabolite identification, with PE subjected to GC-MS and LC-HRMS analyses. All three extracts contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, and terpenoids, except saponins and steroids in PE. GC-MS analysis of PE annotated ten compounds, eight with anti-diabetic properties, while LC-HRMS annotated thirty metabolites, including fourteen anti-diabetic compounds. Cell viability assessments confirmed the non-toxic nature of PE, CA, and HI. The significant enzyme inhibition and non-toxic nature of PE highlight its potential to treat type 2 diabetes. Further in vivo and clinical studies are essential to determining effective dosage and toxicity levels.

description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the emerging technologies of this time. It has been associated with several trades like business, defense, health and education, but its role in library services will foster intelligent decisions. AI is a widely used technology in library services that can transform the best services in the age of information technology. This paper aims to highlight the use of AI in library operations. Several research have been undertaken on this subject, but that only address a few applications. This paper highlights the pros and cons of AI in library services. AI and libraries have a substantial nexus; nevertheless, the use and awareness of AI in library services are still creating question marks addressed in this paper. This study will help the policy stakeholder, librarians and scholars in the field to address these issues before the deployment of AI in library services.

Stochastic variability modelling in Bayesian applications to high-energy astrophysics
Creators: name: Meyer, Antoine
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: In this thesis, we develop two novel statistical methods and software to tackle outstanding astronomical and cosmological data analysis problems. In particular, we deploy stochastic variability models as fundamental building blocks in the conception and refinement of Bayesian methods to process astronomical data and infer parameters of interest. The first method, eBascs, concerns the analysis of individual X-ray sources that appear in crowded fields, which can easily be compromised by the misallocation of recorded events to their originating sources. We develop a Bayesian method designed to sift high-energy photon events from multiple sources with overlapping point spread functions, leveraging the differences in their spatial, spectral, and temporal signatures. The method probabilistically assigns each event to a given source. Such a disentanglement allows more detailed spectral or temporal analysis to focus on the individual component in isolation, free of contamination from other sources or the background. We are also able to compute source parameters of interest like their locations, relative brightness, and background contamination, while accounting for the uncertainty in event assignments. The second method, Td-Carma, is a Bayesian method designed to estimate cosmological time delays by modeling observed and irregularly sampled light curves as realizations of a CARMA process. Our model accounts for heteroskedastic measurement errors and microlensing. The semiseparable structure of the CARMA covariance matrix allows for fast and scalable likelihood computation using Gaussian process modeling. We obtain a sample from the joint posterior distribution of the model parameters using a nested sampling approach. This allows for ”painless” Bayesian computation, dealing with the expected multimodality of the posterior distribution in a straightforward manner and not requiring the specification of starting values or an initial guess for the time delay. The proposed sampling procedure automatically evaluates the Bayesian evidence, allowing us to perform principled Bayesian model selection.

description: Zooplankton body size shows a strong association with temperature, competition, and predation. Global warming affects all three drivers of body size and is thus expected to lead to substantial changes in zooplankton community composition and body size distributions. To disentangle the isolated and joint effect of temperature, competition, and fish predation on species biomass and community composition in zooplankton, we monitored population biomasses of three Daphniidae species that differ in body size (Daphnia magna, Daphnia pulex, and Ceriodaphnia reticulata) for 20 days, manipulating competition (monoculture, pairwise trials, and three-species communities), temperature (20°C, 24°C, and 28°C) and presence or absence of fish predation. In the absence of predation, D. magna dominated in all competition experiments, even at high temperatures. D. magna went extinct, however, in the predation treatments at 24°C and 28°C. D. pulex outcompeted C. reticulata and was negatively affected by predation and high temperature. C. reticulata did not reduce biomass at high temperatures and was negatively affected by all competition trials, but was positively affected by predation. Our results indicate that the two larger-bodied species are more negatively affected by the combination of temperature and predation than the smallest species. While higher temperatures reduced the biomass of the larger-bodied species, it did not fundamentally change their ability to dominate over the smallest species in competition. The combined effect of warming and predation changed community composition more fundamentally, resulting in the dominance of small-bodied species. This can have important ecosystem-wide impacts, such as the transition to turbid, algae-dominated systems.
