Remark. Examined specimens show considerable variability in the shape of the pronotum, which vary from rounded in posterior angles (Fig. 10) through excavated in the angles (Fig. 11) to somewhat undulate lateral margins and excavated posterior angles (Fig. 12). These specimens, however, do not differ in other characters including shape of parameres and internal sac sclerites, (i.e. in characters distinctive for Silluvia species). I believe these forms are conspecific with the type specimen of A. kabaki, and intermediate forms will be found in future. Similar and even greater variability of the shape of pronotum is also known in A. (Psammoporus) kamtschatica Motschulsky, 1860, a species widely distributed in the northern Palaearctic Region.
Aegialia kabaki is currently known from a few localities in a relatively small region in Central Sichuan Province (Fig. 13) and may be endemic to this region.

description: Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: This paper examines the factors affecting non-performing loans (NPLs) in Ethiopian commercial banks. It explores both bank-specific and macroeconomic factors over 15 years (2008–2022), providing insights into their implications for credit risk management. The topic is crucial due to the significant impact of NPLs on financial stability and economic growth. Background Problems: The study addresses the critical problem of rising NPL levels in Ethiopian banks, posing challenges to profitability and economic stability. The primary research question is: What factors significantly influence NPLs in Ethiopian commercial banks? Novelty: This research is novel as it incorporates both bank-specific and macroeconomic variables within the Ethiopian banking context, where limited empirical studies exist. It bridges the gap by employing robust analytical methods to assess previously underexplored relationships. Research Methods: An explanatory research design was used, employing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) panel regression to analyze data from nine Ethiopian banks (one public and eight private) over 15 years. This methodological approach ensures reliable and unbiased results for addressing endogeneity concerns. Findings/Results: The findings reveal that return on assets and loan-to-deposit ratio have a significant negative effect on NPLs, signifying that higher profitability and efficient loan management reduce credit risk. Additionally, government expenditure and broad money supply also lower NPLs, indicating the positive role of fiscal and monetary policies. Conversely, a higher effective tax rate significantly increases NPLs. Conclusion: The study concludes that profitability, efficient loan management, and supportive fiscal and monetary policies are critical in reducing NPLs. It recommends enhanced borrower monitoring and emphasizes the importance of expansionary policies by the National Bank of Ethiopia and the government to minimize credit risks. The key takeaway is the vital role of integrated financial and policy strategies in mitigating NPLs.

Oregon silverspot butterfly

description: Herbicides are used as management tools to improve habitat for native plants and animals, but their application may also have harmful effects on the native community. The federally threatened Oregon silverspot butterfly (Speyeria zerene hippolyta) resides in remnant native grasslands along the Pacific Northwest coast. However, like many grasslands, many of these areas are overwhelmed with invasive plants, such as false dandelion (Hypochaeris radicata) and velvet grass (Holcus lanatus). These and other invasive plants severely limit the abundance of the Oregon silverspot's larval hostplant, the early blue violet (Viola adunca). Selective herbicides, such as clopyralid and fluazifop-p-butyl, can reduce invasive plant abundance. However, non-target effects of these herbicides, and of adjuvants applied with these herbicides, on the Oregon silverspot are unknown. In our study, we applied herbicides and adjuvants to both hostplants and larvae of a subspecies closely related to the Oregon silverspot, the Zerene silverspot (S. z. zerene). Responses measured in two experiments included survival, sex ratio, development time, mass, morphology, fecundity, and behavior. Our results suggest that negative effects of herbicides, clopyralid and fluazifop-p-butyl, and adjuvants, Agri-Dex® and Nu Film® IR, are limited. However, we detected weak effects of clopyralid, clopyralid with Agri-Dex®, fluazifop-p-butyl, and fluazifop-p-butyl with Agri-Dex® on larval and pupal development time and pupal mass. Any possible negative direct effects of herbicides on Oregon silverspots must be weighed against the positive indirect effects that herbicides are likely to have on the butterfly through improvements in habitat conditions. Our findings will inform managers who are selecting among available tools with which to restore native plant communities, while minimizing adverse effects on declining species, such as the Oregon silverspot.

description: Accessibility is an increasingly decisive factor in contemporary society. It involves the transformation and sometimes the reconsideration of social and organizational spaces so that they do not present barriers for anyone, regardless of their physical, psychological, or social characteristics (a particularly important issue for people with disability). In addition to the implementation of devices that enable navigation through spaces (from ramps to elevators, from auditory signals to traffic lights to tactile paths), accessibility is increasingly related to cultural and artistic production (audio description, subtitles, voice-overs, AI-based image descriptions, speech synthesis). In this article, we address this theme through a dialogue between organizational studies and artistic research. After a critical review of actual debates about accessibility, with a focus on disability studies, the article inquires how contemporary artistic and cultural experiences are addressing the issue. We highlight how those experiences can contribute to develop new and groundbreaking perspectives in organizations.

Effect of viscosity on high throughput deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) devices

Subjects: Separation (Technology)--Equipment and supplies
Microfluidic devices

description: Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) is a microfluidic particle separation technique which continues to show promise as a great potential for biosample preparation. DLD shifts particles that have a diameter larger than or equal to the critical diameter (Dc) laterally, while particles smaller than the Dc travel straight through the device showing no lateral shift. This is an effective concentration method for use in biosensing because the sample preparation process is performed on a small microfluidic chip, can be integrated into a lab on a chip (LOC), and often does not require large scale external equipment. As biosensors continue to become smaller and more portable for use in Point of Care (POC) diagnostic testing, bio-sample preparation needs to become more portable or integrate with biosensors to ensure that the testing process is not bottlenecked by the need for large scale sample preparation equipment. DLD can fill this role by separating particles based off physical properties such as size and density and have even shown the ability for high throughput sampling and separation of multiple Dc’s within a single device. In this research, we test the performance of high-throughput DLD to examine Dc at a range of Reynolds (Re) numbers with alterations to fluid viscosity to resemble that of biological fluids. Previous studies have found that as Re is increased, Dc decreases. It was found in this study that alterations to the viscosity of fluid do not alter this trend, and as the associated Re of the flow increases, the Dc decreases as previously shown. At matching Re, increases to the viscosity result in an increase of pressure within DLD devices. In this study, particles began to shift at a Reynolds number of approximately 20 and 12, for a neutral and negative Angle of Attack (AoA) respectively. This shift occurred regardless of viscosity. However, the smaller particle size tested of 15[mu]m did not enter a full displacement mode in the neutral device. It was found that a negative AoA used with an airfoil DLD pillar design provided the best shift to negate pressure increases which can cause DLD devices to fail.

description: In the Palouse region of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, a vector herbivore (pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum) and a vector-borne pathogen (Pea enation mosaic virus, PEMV) co-occur both in wild and cultivated legumes and cause huge economic loss. Legume fields of Palouse also harbor soil growth promoting rhizobia which are well known in promoting legume growth and resilience against herbivores and pathogens. Besides all the biotic stressors, plants in agroecosystems are exposed regularly to various abiotic stressors including drought. However, few studies have investigated the effects of soil rhizobia and multiple stressors on legume hosts. In my dissertation work, I studied effects of drought and rhizobia on intricate and complex interactions mediated by host plant (Pisum sativum), a vector herbivore (pea aphid, A. pisum) and a plant virus (PEMV). In the first Chapter, I assessed if soil rhizobia mediated interactions among Pisum sativum, A. pisum and PEMV under a drought condition by measuring plant height, node count, osmotic pressure, virus prevalence and defense gene expressions. I found beneficial effects of soil microbes on plant health can be mediated by biotic stressors and variation in abiotic conditions. Understanding the conditions where plant mutualistic bacteria like rhizobia are likely to protect plants would improve our ability to prevent outbreaks of devastating herbivores and pathogens. In the second chapter, I examined the effects of abundance of soil rhizobia on tri-trophic interactions mediated by a vector-borne pathogen in pea by measuring plant growth, nodule count, virus prevalence and expression of various defense genes related to phytohormone signaling. My results indicate that, using appropriate concentrations of compatible soil rhizobia inoculum, may contribute to effective, superior mutualism and novel management tactic to manage devastating herbivores and plant pathogens they transmit while improving crop yield and nitrogen fixation. Overall, better pathogen management following mutualisms between legume and rhizobia under harsh environmental conditions could promote tolerance to pathogens and herbivores.

description: Even three-quarters of a century after the end of World War II, the memories left by the war still linger on for most nations that participated in the war. China and Japan suffered greatly throughout the Anti-Japanese War of Resistance (1931 to 1945) and the Pacific War (1941 to 1945). Military casualties were estimated at as high as two million Japanese and three million Chinese. Chinese and Japanese pilot were publicly commemorated as national heroes who sacrificed themselves gloriously for their respective nations’ pride. The two governments built monuments and memorial sites for their pilots, the Chinese Zhanying (Battling Eagles) and Japanese Kamikaze, enabling public memory to focus on the martyrs’ honorable sacrifice for their nations. However, until recent years the personal memories of these pilots and their dear ones have been mostly buried and overshadowed by public memories. In this thesis, I discuss the historiography of Chinese and Japanese personal war memories. Instead of seeing the pilots as mindless, emotionless “war machines,” as public memory has often portrayed them, I attempt to reveal their personal war memories containing the human emotions behind their sacrifices. Relying primarily on memoirs, family letters, and biographies written by the pilots' families, I uncover their struggles between nationalist state propaganda and humanistic reactions to the costly wars. This paper analyzes the personal narratives of five pilots and their loved ones in both China and Japan to reveal the much more emotionally conflicted personal war memories that they shared. Torn between love for their families and their national loyalties, both Japanese and Chinese pilots hoped for the best while preparing themselves for the worst. This exploration reveals that, although China and Japan were enemies, and their governments have worked hard to vilify one other in the public realm of memory, the psychological impacts and the struggles between survival and national loyalties were eerily similar. Overall, this thesis uncovers the personal war memories of Chinese and Japanese pilots who participated in the Anti-Japanese War of Resistance and the Pacific War, aiming to provide a more authentic and comprehensive image of the war and these pilots.

description: Ephemeral gullies (EGs) are a major source of sediment transport from agricultural land. We need to be able to locate EGs in order to identify erosion susceptibility and to assess sediment loads from agricultural fields. The main goal of this study is to predict EG location and erosion susceptibility in agricultural fields in the Palouse river watershed. I evaluated four topographic index (TI) models to predict EG locations: Slope Area [SA], Compound Topographic Index [CTI], Soil Wetness Index [SWI] and Topographic Wetness Index [TWI], by applying the threshold concept (T values), which specifies the location or pixel in watersheds where gullies develop. Model predicted EGs location were compared with observed EG locations by using visual interpretations and error matrix analysis. I investigated EG erosion susceptibility based on predisposing factors related to topography, hydrology, and soils by applying a weights of evidence (WOE) bivariate statistical model. In total, 372 EGs were mapped and separated into a training set (70%) and a validation set (30%). The chi-square conditional independence test among the factors resulted in 12 test susceptibility models of independent predisposing factors. TWI and SA models predicted EG locations better than the CTI and SWI models. The 10m DEM predicted EG locations better than the 30m DEM. The TI models better predicted EG locations and areas with runoff generation resulting in the significance of slope and drainage area relationships in the landscape. The WOE modeling improved understanding of EG erosion risk areas and can be beneficial to conservation planners and landowners to minimize future erosion losses with the use of best management practices to keep our soil healthy and the land more fertile. This study has provided important insights in identifying the role of factors contributing to EG erosion in the study watersheds such as gentle slopes, high precipitation amount, proximity of fields to roads and streams, Palouse and Thatuna silt loam soils, high elevation areas and, most significantly, agricultural land. Overall, results from this study compare well with similar EG studies and should be useful for understanding gully erosion in hilly terrain

Subjects: Sweet cherry--Genetics

description: The use of DNA information promises to reduce sweet cherry breeding costs and time. Maturity timing is one of the primary considerations in cherry breeding because it defines market class, and early and late markets offer more profit to growers. Sweet cherry maturity timing is a highly heritable trait; however, investigation of its genetic control by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) has been limited to single bi-parental families, which does not yet achieve breeding relevance across typical breeding germplasm. The objective of this study was to identify and characterize QTLs associated with maturity timing in breeding germplasm underlying the U.S. sweet cherry industry. The RosBREED Crop Reference Set was used, consisting of 528 individuals from 89 pedigree-connected bi-parental families. This germplasm had been previously genotyped with a 6K SNP array, providing 1617 informative SNP markers, and phenotyped for maturity timing over three years. QTL analysis using the Bayesian approach implemented by FlexQTL™ software revealed eight consistent QTLs on chromosomes 1 (2 QTLs), 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 (2 QTLs) additively explaining ~66% of the phenotypic variation, with only small dominance effects. These QTLs were on the same linkage groups as previously reported, confirming their relevance for U.S. breeding germplasm. Functional QTL alleles were assigned to each germplasm individual and traced to ancestral sources. Additive allele effects were determined using FlexQTL™ from the year with the most available phenotypic data. Relative genetic potential predicted by the eight QTLs was well correlated with phenotype and with reported and newly calculated genome-wide estimates of genetic potential. The three largest-effect QTLs, of linkage groups 4, 5, and 6, were together almost as effective, and might suit as targets for specific DNA test development QTL-based genetic potential predictions could support breeding decisions to develop new cultivars for desired harvest season windows.
Design of a low-power information-aware sampling architecture using learning-based feedback techniques

Data transmission systems

description: The exponential growth in the current digital economy is leading to a dramatic increase in data volumes. This is leading to large overheads in data transmission necessitating development of new sampling methods for transmitting wireless information from sensor nodes. This work proposes an information-aware adaptive sampling system architecture that can operate with ultra-low-power consumption. Mixed-signal circuits and system design paradigms are proposed to overcome the fundamental trade-off between power consumption and quality of decision-making using feature-based metrics. A sequency-based feature extraction with 1-bit binary antipodal matrix multiplication and a two-tier classification technique is introduced for adaptive sampling. The proposed scheme augments operation of existing analog-to-information converters, and can save up to 70% power through both data compression and transmission of relevant information. We compare the effects of finite precision of feature coefficients in the proposed architecture and demonstrate less than 2% classification error rate with only 8-bit precision in MIT-BIH database comprising of 20 patients.

Prairie restoration

description: Restoring tallgrass prairie ecosystems entails utilizing novel techniques to ensure the success of both below and aboveground communities. Plant communities interact with soil organisms including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and terrestrial organisms such as invertebrate pollinators. Most grassland plant species form symbiotic associations with AM fungi, which can alter plant characteristics (e.g., flowering stem number) through improved nutrient and water uptake that may influence pollinator visitation. In this study we used an established tallgrass prairie restoration originally designed to test the effect of two site preparation techniques, soil solarization and overseeding (non-solarized) and inoculating plots with either AM fungi or remnant prairie soil on native plant survival and growth. To determine whether site preparation techniques and soil inoculations influence pollinator visitation or the flowering stem number of plant species three years after plots were established, surveys were conducted every other week from June-August 2019. Pollinator visits of key groups including, Bombus (bumble bees), Apocrita (bees not belonging to Bombus), Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), Coleoptera (beetles), Syrphidae (hover flies), Nematocera (slender-bodied flies), and Brachycera (non-Syrphidae wide-bodied flies) and flowering stem number of five focal native plant species (Penstemon digitalis, Verbesina alternifolia. Monarda fistulosa, Silphium integrifolium, and Rudbeckia subtomentosa) were recorded. Here we show that pollinator visits were higher in solarized relative to non-solarized plots due to increased floral resources. Soil inocula uniquely affected flowering stem number of P. digitalis, while V. alternifolia. M. fistulosa, and S. integrifolium remained unaffected. There was no detectable effect of AM fungi or remnant prairie soil inocula on pollinator visits at the sub-plot level, likely due to the low dependence of early and mid-successional plants on AM fungi that were prevalent in the site. However, soil inoculation increased pollinator visitations to Rudbeckia subtomentosa. Taken together, this study shows that the site preparation technique of solarization improved habitat and floral resources for pollinators and that soil inoculation treatment did not appear to have a detectable impact on the number of pollinator visits, at least at this young restoration site.
